YES
? Denying some people the option to marry is discriminatory and creates a second class of
citizens.The rights of minorities should be protected through laws. Therefore, denying marriage to a same-sex couple is the same as denying marriage to black or Japanese couples. ? It doesn’t hurt society or anyone in particular. A marriage is a personal commitment
between two people that is no one else’s business. If no one else is hurt in the process, then society shouldn’t dictate what two people can or can’t do.
? Marriage is not only for having children, otherwise infertile couples, or couples not wishing
to have children, would not be allowed to marry. In fact, the overriding reason for marriage is because it is the ultimate expression of love. This is undeniably true for same-sex couples, so they should be allowed to marry.
NO
? It would weaken the definition and respect for marriage. Marriage is a very
importanttradition, and every society believes it is between a man and a woman. Divorce rates and single-parent families are already high.This is not the time to redefine and weaken “marriage” any further.
? Marriage is ultimately for having children and should not be extended to same-sex couples,
because they cannot produce children together. Same-sex marriage will therefore confuse children about gender roles and expectations in society.
? Virtually every religion in the world, including the major ones, believe homosexuality is
unacceptable. It is offensive to the religious freedom of the majority to be forced to recognize a relationship they consider immoral.

Term-time holidays should never be banned
Term-time holidays, as the definition shows, are the days when you enjoy a break. Typical holidays of this kind include International Labor’s Day, Women’s Day, National Day etc. Although taking these days off may disrupt lessons, I do not think they have to be banned.
First and foremost, these days are all nationally celebrated and holidays, which are set with the purpose of relaxing people.

题型分析 1.两篇文字材料的写作 所提供两篇文字材料都是关于同一话题，但观点对立。因此，首先要对所给材料正反两方的观 点进行综述（summary） ，考查学生对观点中的重要信息的辨别、概括和转述的能力，其次要求学 生要提出自己的观点， 考查论辩能力——提供同意或反对的合理论据和逻辑推理能力——说服类的 语言表达能力。 注意事项： 第一，概括错误。新的四级写作要求学生对所提供的材料进行概括，通常在概括能力方面，学 生容易将材料原文的主要信息未加以转述、 原词照搬到自己的作文中， 或者在概括过程中未能对观 点的主要信息进行归纳总结，将不重要的信息包括过来。 第二，内容不充实。评分标准的要求是“内容相关、叙述清楚、前后一致” ，在论述过程中由 于思路不清或时间安排不合理等原因，造成内容空洞或论据不充分。例如： Should Private Car Owners Be Taxed for Pollution? ......Truly, the private cars have caused many problems. According to a recent research, many emissions among all the greenhouse gases are from the private cars. The painful experiences in the past have taught us to live in harmony with nature and manage to avoid any incidents that may have an adverse effect on the environment. Besides, the contaminants sent by the cars are very harmful to our health. The pollutants will have a persistent impact on human body and are likely to cause a number of diseases. Above all, in recent years the number of private cars is growing at an unprecedented rate....... 修正后： ......To start with, the emission from cars contributes to the environment pollution. According to the study, the total gas emission of the private cars amounts to 30~60% among all the greenhouse gases, which leads to the deterioration of the whole ecosystem, such as climate change, acid rain and greenhouse effect. So it is these private car owners who should pay for the pollution, and it’ll be fair to use the tax revenue lev

Does it make our life easier or more difficult? The following are the supporters’ and opponents’ opinions. Read carefully the opinions from both sides and write your response in about 200 words, in which you should first summarize briefly the opinions from both sides and give your view on the issue. Mark will be awarded for content relevance, content sufficiency, organization and language quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks. YES Technology and digital media can be a great help to NO Technology promises to make ourreaching out to other people and spreading your message to a lives easier, freeing up time for leisure very large platform. “Social media removes all distances: pursuits. But the rapid pace ofgeographic, social, hierarchical. You can reach anyone, at any technological innovation and the split time, and communicate in real time. Thus, a permanent link of second processing capabilities ofcommunication has been created,” said Julien Maldonate, a computers that can work virtually senior manager at Deloitte. nonstop have made all of us feel rushed.
Amina Belghiti, Partnerships Manager at Facebook, We have adopted the relentless pace of describes how technology has taken the universal the very machines that were supposedcommunication method of storytelling and transformed it, in a to simplify our lives, with the result way that now more stories can reach more people through that, whether at work or play, people do social media platforms than ever before. She recommends that not feel like their lives have changed for people find their digital media voice, tell sharable stories, and the better. drive engagement. The Indispensability of Technology It is supposed that technology helps us communicate easier and quicker. Just as Julien Maldonate points out, digital media makes people from different places, different social backgrounds and classes communicate in the same media platform. And messages or stories can reach more readers or audiences by mass media. However, some people claim that when technology is running more and more rapidly, it quickens our life pace and has not bettered our lives. For example, secretaries have to reply to instant messages immediately when their blackberry beeps at mid-night; phone users always fix their eyes on their cell phones and are ready to answer any ring calls. In fact, life does not become easy and relaxing, instead it becomes much busier and quicker. Although technology has made our lives more complex, it is an integral part in our lives. Machines in factories and farms have freed us from manual works. Household appliances, such as washing machines, vacuum cleaners and microwave ovens, have made our housework much easier than ever before. I believe most people are not willing to give up using cellphones, the Internet or other information technologies, because they do bring about much convenience on our daily life. In addition,, technology plays an increasingly important role in our society. Owing to the application of technology, it has brought advancements in agriculture, industry, engineering, architecture, and so on. Advancements in technology have led to the evolution of newer and faster modes of transportation and communication. The development of technology has boosted research in fields ranging from genetics to extraterrestrial space. So, technology has touched every aspect of life, making it easier, better and different. Obviously technology does make our lives more complex. However, without technology we may be living in a primitive society where most people have to live a monotonous life. (301 words)练习一：
