ous problem that it has aroused the concern from the whole society.
To put an end to such a serious problem, in my mind., it calls for the efforts from all sides. First of all, the university authority should make it clear that any cheating behaviors in the examinations, from whispering and copying, receiving answers via mobile phones to asking ringers for help, will be severely punished with no exception. Moreover, teachers of all subjects should go all the way to restore honesty by setting an example for the youth through speaking sincerely and behaving truthfully. Last but not least, young students, the future of our nation, should view integrity as the prerequisite to an upright and responsible citizen so as to learn to despise and fight dishonest behaviors throughout the society.
How can anybody expect to lead a meaningful life until he is far from any kind of cheating behaviors? Only when all of us join in the efforts of eliminating cheating at all levels can we expect to have a cleaner society and a more beautiful future.
【点评】
首段描述一个引起全社会关注的社会现象或问题，并在第二段中给出三个解决办法；末段使用反问句和only引导的倒装句回应主题，效果强烈。
范文首先指出，当前校园中存在的严重的作弊问题已经引起全社会的广泛关注；第二段阐述解决办法。首先，大学应明确任何形式的作弊都会受到惩罚。其次，老师要以身作则，为学生树立榜样。另外，学生应该把诚实作为当一个好公民的必要条件。末段指出，只有同心协力，才能解决校园作弊问题。
第二段第一句中的put an end to表示“结束，终止”，call for表示“要求，需要”；第一点中via指“通过”，with no exception指“没有例外”。第二点中的go all the way to表示“全力以赴”，restore在文中指“重塑”，set an example for表示“为……做榜样”，speaking sincerely and behaving truthfully表示“说话真诚，行为诚实”。第三点中的integrity指“诚实，诚信”，prerequisite指“先决条件”，后接介词for或to；despise表示“蔑视”。
6 Silence Is Gold
1. 许多场合中“沉默是金”是正确的 2. 但也有例外的情形 3. 结论
【范文】
When we talk of the famous proverb "Silence is Gold", we should not simply label it as right or wrong, but explore it in depth.
This proverb is especially true under several situations. First, if we have made a promise not to let out a secret, we should always keep silent. Second, we should avoid talking over facts or statistics of which we are not sure. Third, whenever we are expressing our ideas, brevity is the soul of wit and talking too much will always lead to faults and mistakes.
Nevertheless, there are also some exceptions. If we find out a flaw in other's speaking or writing, we should not hesitate a moment to point it out. And to friends or acquaintances seeking advice, we should feel free to help them.
In a word, we can draw the conclusion that in most cases "silence is gold", but in certain circumstances, talking is the right choice.
【点评】
本文的特色在于其并未完全肯定或完全否定所提到的谚语，而是从正、反两个方面去分析，即第二段指出其正确性，第三段谈例外情况；末段总结，呼应全文。
范文首先提出所要讨论的谚语“沉默是金”。第二段分三个方面阐述其正确性，即发誓保守秘密，对于不确定的事情要保持沉默，而在表达自己的思想时，力求简洁。第三段指出例外，为别人指出错误或为朋友等提建议时，不要坚持“沉默是金”。末段总结，呼应第二、三段。 第一段中的label...as...表示“将……看作……”，而explore... in depth表示“深入探究……&rdqu
o;。第二段第一点中的make a promise表示“允诺”，let out a secret表示“泄露秘密”，keep silent表示“保持沉默”；第三点中的brevity is the soul of wit也是个谚语，表示“言贵简洁”。第三段第二点中的acquaintance指“熟人”。 7 For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic： Attend Your Classes Regularly。You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below in Chinese.

For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic： Students’ Rating of Their Teachers。You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below in Chinese.
1. 学生给老师打分已经普遍 2. 人们对其持不同态度 3. 我的看法
Students’ Rating of Their Teachers
Nowadays, it has become as common in colleges and universities for students to grade teachers as for teachers to grade students. In some universities students’ rating has even become the only source of inform.tion on teaching effectiveness..
This, however, has caused great controversy. Some are in favor of the rating system, They hold that since students attend the teachers’ classes every day, they should have their opinion about their teachers’ effectiveness. Others, on the contrary, are strongly against it. They believe that there is much more to teaching than what is shown on students’ rating forms. Students should not be expected to judge whether the materials they use are up to date or how well the teacher knows about the subject. These judgments require professional knowledge, which is best left for the teachers’ colleagues.
I think students’ rating of their teachers is necessary, but it should be conducted in a way that can really shed meaningful light on teachers’ perform.ance. Instead of rating the teachers’ knowledge on the subject, students should be asked to estimate what they have learned in a course, and to report on such things as a teacher’s ability to communicate with students, his or her relationship with students, and his or her ability to arouse students’ interest in the subject.
点评：越来越多的高校采取让学生给老师打分的形式来了解教学反馈，并以此作为促进教学质量的有效手段。对此做法，管理部门及教学双方褒贬不一，看法迥异。本预测题为校园生活热议话题，值得关注。

A Letter to a Friend Dear Zhang Wei,
I’m glad to know that you are coming to my city during the summer vacation.
However, I’m afraid there’s some bad news. I’m planning to take part in an international conference to be held in another city during the time of your visit. All the top scientists in my field will show up at the conference. More importantly, I’m lucky enough to have been selected to give a speech on behalf of my research team at the Conference. I really can’t miss it. I understand that it’ll be your first time to this city and I’m your only friend here. I’ve asked my roommate to meet you at the airport, and you can stay in my room. He is a very nice person and he will show you around the city. Hope you two will get on well and have a nice holiday! Yours, Li Ming
点评：本预测题与2001年6月考查的A Letter to a Schoolmate 类似，所不同是写作提示有所不同，2001年6月作文题是写信对校友来度假表示欢迎并在信中提出建议和注意事项，而本预测题是对朋友来访不能接待，同时在信中说明原因及具体安排，内容不一，但话题相仿，写作思路相似，值得关注。
