1. Should government give financial support tobuild museums and theaters? State your opinion andexplain why. (05. 12.17; 07. 9.29; 08.2.16考题)
Sample answer:
In my point of view, government should providefund to build museums and theaters because theyserve as exhibition centers for people to know about the history and culture of the country.
The range of museums is fantastic—there are museums of ancient history andarchaeology(考古学), of natural history and even museums for such things as transport andcrime! And because the museums are constantly holding new exhibitions, there is alwayssomething different to see.
Theaters offer people a big place to enjoy a variety of operas and plays of differentregions. Even the world's best group come occasionally. Meanwhile, the building of themuseums and theaters will enhance the cultural exchange between countries.
They are also one of the contributing factors that promote the national economy.

2. Should a city try to preserve its old, historic buildings or destroy them and replace themwith modern buildings? (07. 1.14考题)
Sample answer:
I think old buildings should be protected and maintained for the following reasons. First, oldbuildings carry a place's history, tradition, local custom and even some unique character. Theywere designed to be preserved as they were in early times. They serve as a mirror to remindmodern people of their past that they should be proud of. Second, most old buildings aretourist attractions which interest visitors from all over the world. If they are damaged, theymight go back with regret. In addition, tourism is always a big support to economy. Therefore,we should try to bring the funding into the budget to do whatever is necessary.

Sample answer:
Some people prefer e-reading ‘cause it's fast and convenient. But in my opiniontraditional reading is better for three reasons.
First, paper reading doesn't have as much bad effect on our eyes as computer reading.Second, the printed word gives more comfort, enjoyment or personal touch than electronictext. I like the feeling of turning the page and taking notes on the book. Though computers arechanging the reading habits, the long tradition of printed word may yet not be. Most people stillread printed books, magazines and newspapers to get their information.
Therefore, I prefer traditional reading to e-reading.
