练习一：
　　
Directions: For this part, you are allowed thirty minutes to write a
composition on the topic: Student Use of Computers. You should write at
least 150 words, and base your composition on the outline given in Chinese
below:
1. 上图所示为某校大学生平均每周使用计算机的时间: 1990年（2
hours）、1995年(4 hours)、2002年(14 hours)，请描述其变化；
2. 请说明发生这些变化的原因（可从计算机的用途、价格或社会发展等
方面加以说明）；
3. 你认为目前大学生在计算机使用中有什么困难或问题。
Student Use of Computers
范文：
　　From the chart, we clearly learn that Students tend to use computers
more and more nowadays. The average number of hours a student spends
on the computer per week has increased sharply. In 1990, it was less than
two hours; and in 1995, it increased to almost four hours; while in 2000, the
number soared to twenty hours.
There are many reasons for this tremendous growth. First of all,
computers facilitate people’s life, and Internet provides people an amazing
world to explore, which has attracted more students to use the computers.
Moreover, the low price of computers allows many students to have one in
their domitories. In addition, many net bars provide students convenient
access to computers. As a result, it becomes an unavoidable trend for
students to spend more and more hours on computers.
As far as I am concerned, problems still exist in students’ use of
computers. For one thing, students don’t have enough skills to command
computers, which limits their full use of computers. For another, students
who are short of self –disciplines may ignore their main task of study. To
conclude, effective measures should be taken for students to guarantee the
reasonable use of computers.



练习二：
Directions : For this part , you are allowed thirty minutes to write a
composition on the topic Health Gains in Developing Countries . You must
base pour composition on the following instructions (given in Chinese) :
1 . 以附图2为依据描述发展中国家的期望寿命( life expectancy)和婴儿死
亡率( infant mortality) 的变化情况.
2. 说明引起变化的各种原因.
You composition should be no less than 120 words. Remember to write it
neatly.

范文：
　　From the chart, we can learn that life expectancy has increased
while the infant mortality has decreased in the developing countries in the
period from 1960 to 1990. What impresses us most is the life expectancy
was 40 years while it was about 60 in 1990 and the infant mortality was
about 200 deaths per 1,000 births in 1960 while it was approximately below
100 in 1990. (In 1960 life expectancy was very low, while infant mortality
was very high. However, in 1990 life expectancy increased, whereas infant
mortality declined.)
　　There are many reasons for the changes, but in general, they come
down to three major ones. First, their living conditions were improved. In
the old days people in the developing countries suffered hunger and were
exposed to the elements. Nowadays they are well fed and housed. Naturally
they live longer than before. Besides, the medical condition was also
improved and so the adequate medical treatment ensures the adults' health
and reduces infant mortality. Most important of all, in the early 60s there
were constant wars in some developing countries because of the colonial rule
and so a lot of people were killed in wars. Nowadays most developing
countries have become independent countries and their people live a peaceful
life.
　　In conclusion, the national independence and social stability are
responsible for these changes. It can be predicted that people will become
healthier and healthier. This in turn will decrease the expense on medical
service and reduce the burden of developing countries. To conclude, it is
beneficial to both the individual and the society.
