A. Write an essay discussing the two opposite opinions given below, give both some reasons,
and make your comments or suggestions.
There are two main opinions concerning the development of private cars in China: One maintains that their free development should be encouraged, while the other argues that it must be restricted.
B. Time limit: 40 minutes
C. Word limit: about 200 words
Should the development of private cars be encouraged or restricted in China? To judge this issue, we should look at three aspects: What are the advantages of private cars; what are their disadvantages; and is China ready for the free development of private cars?
First of all, the private car is a symbol of freedom. It enables an individual or family to travel anywhere and at any time, without relying on public transport. It is convenient for shopping and transporting children to and from school. Moreover, in the case of illness, it can carry its owner or other sick person to hospital without delay.
However, too many private cars can lead to traffic jams, thus slowing down life and work rather
than speeding it up. In addition, automobiles are major polluters of the atmosphere. And last but not least, the more cars there are on the roads, the more traffic accidents occur.
It seems to me that China, at its present stage of development, should restrict the number of private cars. For one thing, it would be a waste of resources to build a huge automobile industry at a time when only a few people can afford to buy cars. For another, the country must first bring pollution under control before adding to the problem with more cars.
2001年英语高考作文题
请你谈谈轿车大量进入家庭后,对家庭、环境和经济可能产生的影响。
Nowadays the number of people who own private cars is on the rise. Like everything else, private cars have both favourable and unfavorable aspects. Generally, the favourable aspects can be listed as follows.
First, private cars can bring convenience and mobility to owners. A car allows a person to move comfortably, safely as well as quickly and freely. When my family owns a car, we can make extensive travels every year. So I believe the tourist industry in China will develop more quickly. Second, if more people buy cars, automobile industry will develop dramatically. What’s more, the growth of automobile industry can trigger the boom of other important industry such as iron and steel production, energy and technological application.
Every coin has two sides. The negative aspects are also apparent. To begin with, too many cars will give rise to a series of problems, such as serious environmental pollution and more traffic accidents. In addition, the driver may have to drive around and around looking for a parking space.
Through above analysis, we may conclude that private cars should be restricted rather than encouraged.

1999年英语高考作文题
1. 一些学生认为学英语很重要。 2. 一些学生则认为不必学英语。
3. 我认为„„(观点,理由)
People’s views on learning English vary from person to person. Some think in today’s world we need to make frequent contacts with different people in different parts of the world, so it is absolutely necessary to learn English. Others consider English useless. They feel learning English is nothing but a burden. But I regard English as one of the most important subjects. Of all the subjects I like English best.
There are several reasons why I like English best.
Firstly, English is one of the most widely used languages of the world. Nearly all information on
the Internet and over half of the world’s technical materials are in English. Therefore, a good command of English will greatly benefit me in my work.
Secondly, as the world becomes more and more globalized, we need to learn modern technology in order to catch up with developed countries. A solid foundation of English means chances and opportunities. In the competition for a well-paid job, the one who can speak fluent English has an advantage over those who cannot.
For all these reasons we should not only learn English but master it in the shortest time possible. 文章结构:提出议题;分析理由;得出结论。
语言亮点:

1. make frequent contacts with常与„„接触 2. nothing but只是

假如你是李华,在最近的研究性学习当中,受《21世纪中学生英语报》 (The 21st Century)之邀,你对你所在的班60名同学(男女各半)进行了上网目的的调查。现将调查结果(如下表所示)用英语给报社的编辑写一封信,报道此事,以引起舆论的关注,并提出你的观点和建议。
题材:书信; 说明+议论
时态:一般现在时 人称:第三人称

Dear editor
I have recently made a survey among 30 boys and 30 girls in my class about their purpose of getting on the Internet.
The girls’ favorite is chatting, but few boys like it. What the boys like to do most is playing games and the girls also like it. Both boys and girls like to read news or send e-mails on the Internet. Maybe they think it’s the most convenient way to get information from keeping in touch with friends. As for studying, the numbers of boys and girls are equal, but altogether only several of them will use the Internet as a tool to study.
In my opinion, useful as the Internet is, the students had better make better and wise use of it. Otherwise, it’s impossible for us to benefit from it. Moreover, I also hope the parents will pay enough attention to their children using the Internet in their spare time.
Yours,
Li Hua
