　　《全球淡水紧缺》范文：
　　Global Shortage of Water
　　 ⑴It is widely assumed that fresh water will never be used up. ⑵We have such a wrong assumption because plenty of rain falls down from the sky and countless rivers run on the earth.⑶In addition to many wells, we also have numerous falls and springs flowing down from mountains.⑷But actually, a global shortage of fresh water has aroused great concern.⑸A lot of factors account for this shortage, but in general, they come down to three major ones. ⑹First, with the increase in the world’s population, the demand for water is growing rapidly. ⑺Second, the rapid development of industry and agriculture also calls for an increasing amount of water. ⑻And to make things worse, fresh water in may places is being polluted by garbage and dangerous and poisonous chemicals. ⑼It is high time that we take some measures to tackle the problem. ⑽The first important measure is to protect our water resources from being polluted. ⑾Educating people to save water in daily life is of equal significance. ⑿Techniques such as recycling waste water and converting sea water into drinkable water should be applied in dry areas. ⒀It is only when these measures are put into use that the global shortage of fresh water can be solved. ⑴主题句：提出错误的观念⑵原因一和二⑶原因三和四⑷过渡句/指出实际情况⑸主题句/指出导致这一情况有三个原因⑹原因一⑺原因二⑻原因三⑼主题句：呼吁采取行动⑽措施一⑾措施二⑿措施三⒀结尾句/小结:强调这些措施的重要性、必要性
　　《电子词典》范文：
　　Electronic Dictionaries
　　 ⑴Some people prefer electronic dictionaries. ⑵They believe this kind of new dictionary has many advantages. ⑶First, compared with a traditional dictionary, it’s obviously very handy and convenient. ⑷Besides, due to its multi-functions, it’s also very helpful. ⑸It can not only translate words from English to Chinese, but vice versa. ⑹Some even can teach the learner how to pronounce a word. ⑺However, others argue we should not neglect its disadvantages.⑻First, the definitions in the entries are very limited. ⑼Second, they are not enough explanations or examples to illustrate the proper usage of a word. ⑽Sometimes, some explanations are so simple that they may cause misunderstanding. ⑾Last but not least, the constant use of this study aid can make people too much attached to the dictionary and become lazy.⑿Therefore, my view is that we should use it properly. ⒀Every learner should have a good English dictionary at hand and treat the electronic one as a make-shift, when a traditional one is not available. ⒁But an electronic dictionary is by no means a good substitute for a good traditional one. ⑴引出主题⑵主题句⑶优点一⑷优点二⑺主题句/指出主题的另一面⑻缺点一⑼缺点二⑽缺点三⑾缺点四⑿结论/我的观点⒀⒁具体阐述‘我’的观点

　　Directions: For this part, you are allowed thirty minutes to write a composition on the topic On Sightseeing. You should write at least 120 words and you should base your composition on the outline below:
　　1. Advantages of sightseeing
　　2. Disadvantages of sightseeing
　　3. Prepare yourself well
　　参考文章:
　　⑴When asked about why they go sightseeing, different people will offer different answers. ⑵Some people say they want something exciting and exotic, while others want to refresh and relax themselves. ⑶And still others go sightseeing to enrich their experiences and broaden their horizons.
　　⑷Despite these advantages, some of its disadvantages cannot be ignored. ⑸Once you are on the road, you'll encounter many nuisances. ⑹For example, your train may be too crowded. ⑺Though very expensive, you may find it hard to find a room in the local hotels. ⑻Your holiday may be spoiled by the illnesses on the journey. ⑼You may get lost in a strange city and can't understand a word of the local language. ⑽Worse still, your wallet might be stolen, and you can't find any friends or relatives to turn to.
　　⑾So you should be psychologically prepared for those inconveniences and do something about them. ⑿It is advisable that you take some medicines with you and book the room in advance. ⒀It would be of much help if you can learn a few words and sentences of the local language. ⒁And above all, remember to put your credit card apart from your wallet so that you can withdraw some money from a local bank in case your wallet is stolen.
　　 参考文章:
　　 ⑴Traffic is one of the essential activities for our city. ⑵Every day, by various means of transportation, heavy loads of goods and a great number of passengers are conveyed to and from every corner of our city. ⑶With the modernization drive in full swing, traffic has been lending greater impact on our life. ⑷What a mess the city would be in, if the arteries of such vital importance were out of action even for a minute.
　　⑸Owing to the major part it plays, traffic has long been a serious concern for the municipal government.⑹Over recent years, new bus routes have been opened to traffic and new vehicles put in service; many underpasses and overpasses have been built to ease out the bottlenecks. ⑺Meanwhile, new traffic projects are under consideration.
　　 ⑻Despite all these efforts, traffic remains one of the biggest headaches of our city. ⑼Traffic jams during rush hours, bus delays and frays are part of our life. ⑽In addition, traffic accidents occur with alarming frequency, resulting in heavy losses in both property and lives. ⑾Only when these problems are effectively solved, will our city be able to survive the nation-wide competition and function as an economic center.
