Should parents do this much? Each year new students come to university, and strange things happen on campuses. … 范文： the child just walks behind. Some parents fill in their child’s forms instead of the child doing it for themselves. Believe it or not, some parents even choose to stay in the university for a while with their child. Is it necessary for parents to do so much for their children? Personally, I am strongly against parents doing this. How can children develop and improve if their parents do everything for them? If things do not change, then these children will surely become lazier and lazier. They will develop more and more bad habits. Can a child learn to have enough responsibility in the future if their parents are always doing things for them now? The answer must be no. Above all else, a child must have the opportunity to do things by themselves. They must learn to depend on themselves. 2. 下面这幅画反应了孩子学习时的家庭状态，请你描述这幅画反映出的问题，就此发表自己的看法。

（2）家长应有自己的生活。

3. 可适当发挥。 范文一：

This picture suggests that if a child is doing homework, then what both the parents can do is sitting close by and keeping quiet. In other words, it suggests that parents should give up their hobbies and never watch TV at home in order to create the perfect atmosphere in which their child can study. It is undoubtedly well-intentioned for parents to care about their child’s studies. However, I do not think that parents need to go this far. By making such an effort, the parents will put pressure on their child to do well, which is obviously harmful to their health. Instead of this, they should reduce the heavy burden on their children. As well as this, parents should have their own lives. Doing things that they themselves are interested in does not mean they do not love their children. In fact, a relaxing atmosphere will be more beneficial to their children’s overall development. I strongly think that parents should create a relaxing environment for their children to study. 范文二：

This picture shows a child is doing his homework while his parents just sit beside him. They are not allowed to watch TV or talk to each other. They seem to think that their behaviour will help their son get higher grades. In all honesty I do not agree that this kind of parenting is a good idea. In my opinion it is unnecessary for parents to sit with their children while they are studying. In doing so they are not really helping their child to study, but rather they are putting more pressure on him to succeed. In the long run, this will be harmful to the child’s health. The parents should believe in their child’s ability to do well on his own. Furthermore, not only does the child have the right to live his own life, but parents should also have lives of their own when their child is studying. They could, for example, take a walk outdoors or read interesting books. All in all, parents would do better to create a relaxing atmosphere for their child to study rather than constantly putting heavy burdens on them. 3. 某英文网站正在开展关于“网络是否应该实名制”的讨论。从跟帖情况看，主要有以下两种观点。

3. 短文题目已给出，不计入总词数。 范文一： Network Real Name System

For a long time people have hoped to establish a network real name system. However, there is controversy as to whether it should be encouraged. Some people are in favour of it because a network real name system would have many advantages, such as making network administration effective, preventing online crime and helping to protect copyright. What is more, it would make citizens more responsible. However, others are against the system because they believe that it will create problems. Firstly, personal information provided by Internet users may be stolen or misused. Secondly, people may feel uneasy about revealing their real attitudes online. Thus, the system may limit netizens’ freedom. For my own part, I believe it is high time that a network real name system was enforced. It would improve the network environment and create a more harmonious society. 范文二： Network Real Name System

Discussion is currently underway as to whether a network real name system should be set up. People differ in their opinions of such a system. Some people agree that the system would be useful, as they believe it would help manage the network effectively. A real name system could help stop online crime and protect copyright in our country. More importantly, the system would increase people’s sense of responsibility as netizens. However, others disagree with the idea of such a system. One reason is that Internet users’ personal information could be stolen or misused. In addition, people fear that netizens may become afraid to express themselves freely, thus limiting their freedom on the Internet. I believe that it is not necessary for us to have a network real name system. I think it would be harmful to a free network environment. Only when netizens feel they are free online can we have a more harmonious society. 4. 下面是中国、美国和韩国三国中学生课外活动用时调查表。请根据下面的图表信息写一篇英语短

文。短文应包括以下内容：

1. 简单叙述图表所显示的信息； 2. 分析中国学生用时较少的原因； 3. 结合自身实际，谈谈你的看法。 注意：1. 词数：150词左右；

2．短文的开头已给出，不计入总词数。 As we can see from the following chart, … 范文一：

Chinese students only have 12 minutes for physical activity every day. By contrast, students in South Korea have 42 minutes and those in America have 72 minutes. This shows that Chinese students have too little time for physical activities per day. There are a number of reasons for this. Chinese students spend almost all their time in lessons and when they go home, their parents make them study even more. This means that there is little time left for physical activities. In my opinion, both schools and parents should give students more time for physical activities. A lack of exercise can harm both our health and our studies. When I was in Senior Grade Three, I had so little physical activity that I often had a cold. As a result my grades went down. Therefore, it is time for us to give the students enough time for physical activities. Only when we are strong can we have enough energy to work hard at our lessons. 范文二：

Chinese students have the least time, 12 minutes, for minutes. The reason for this may lie in the fact that Chinese students spend almost all their time on lessons both at home and in school. The result is that they have little time for physical activity. In my opinion, we students should have more time for physical activities. My own experience has shown me that doing exercise can actually improve my ability to study. I recently started playing basketball with my friends after school. I actually found that by having a break between my schoolwork and homework, I felt more refreshed and could concentrate much better. My parents, who were against it at first because they thought it would distract me from my studies, were amazed that my grades actually started going up. We should definitely pay more attention to physical activity as it boosts both body and mind.

参考范文：

Piano was my decision; practicing was my mom’s. At twelve years old, I would practice piano for two hours a day, depending on how concessions (让步) were made. My mom would sit next to me and work through what I had to do methodically while I took the occasional long glance out of the window where my neighbourhood friends were throwing a football in the yard or running around doing something fun and exciting. At twelve, piano was the biggest drag, but now, at seventeen, I wonder about how my piano would sound without my mom’s persistence.

Learning English requires familiarity, immersion(沉浸), and lots of practice. Practice is essential especially in the mastery of English writing skills. This means learning cannot solely happen in the classroom or during homework. In order to make progress, you must find suitable study resources. As an English student, I try to read from The New York Times or China Daily as often as I can. I would copy the good sentences down to my notebook and try to use them in my essays.

参考范文：

Nowadays people often discuss the issue of safety on campus. Some students have their cell phones stolen from their dormitories; some students are knocked down by cars or bikes that are going too quickly; others get injured in fights with fellow students. In my opinion, these things highlight the need for us to raise our safety awareness. School safety is the cornerstone of a harmonious campus and a civilized society. It is directly related to the healthy growth of young students and the wellbeing of millions of families. To deal with this problem, students should be taught to take care of themselves on campus, behave well and act sensibly. They have to realize that it is better to do well in exams than in arguments and fights because there is no honour in being aggressive. Everyone who cares about their campus should get involved in this program. You can’t just leave

Jane and I are good friends, though we look different on the outside. I am as slim as a rake(耙子) while she is big and strong. Someone in our class once joked that she looked like a big talking snowball with two smiling tiny eyes. But Jane never takes any joke about her size seriously. She is kind and warm-hearted. She looked after me when I was ill. She lent me her notes when I was having trouble with math. She even taught me how to knit a sweater. The most impressive part about her is that although she is so big, she is quick and full of energy. You can often see her in the playground, either playing basketball or volleyball. Sometimes I make fun of her by saying, “You will make a fantastic goalkeeper.” She always replies with a wide laugh and a soft punch in my arm. I guess that is why she is everyone’s favourite in our class. 五、谈论人与动物和谐相处

Three women are sitting in a cage. They wear fur coats and hold signs that read: “Animals Are Not Ours to Wear” and “Summer Is No Vacation for Animals on Fur Farms”. The innocent and lonely look on their faces reminds me of the animals that get killed every year in the fur business. While fashion advertisements present fur as stylish and glamorous, the undeniable reality is of the blood, pain and death which powerless victims of this brutal trade suffer. On fur farms, animals such as foxes are kept in crowded, filthy cages and then skinned painfully for their fur. If you don’t want these cruel things to happen, then don’t buy fur products. There are alternatives to fur. Fur is only beautiful on those it belongs to – the animals. Warmer, less expensive and more stylish non-animal fashions are widely available. Everyone can be a hero for the animals. 六、谈论竞争与合作

We must confront the cruel reality of competitive and materialistic society and learn to adjust our dreams. 6. be eliminated 被淘汰 He was eliminated in the first round of voting for student body president because he didn’t spend any time talking with fellow students. ◆谈论合作与团队精神

参考范文：

Ever since I was little, I have always loved competition and teamwork. When I reached high school, I could think of nothing better than competing in the Science Olympiad team and combining my passion for learning with my desire to compete. However, I soon realized that it was much more than a team. It was a family. The elders not only inspired me by relating science to life but also mentored me through the difficult transition to high school. In my first competition I ended up with a disappointing score. A senior came up to me and told me there was always another chance. I came back next year and won two medals. This year, I was chosen to be the vice president and now it is my turn to direct the younger students towards science. I would argue that teamwork is more important than competition.
