七夕，古今诗人惯咏星月与悲情。吾生虽晚，世态炎凉却已看透矣。情也成空，且作“挥手袖底风”罢。是夜，窗外风雨如晦，吾独坐陋室，听一曲《尘缘》，合成诗韵一首，觉放诸古今，亦独有风韵也。乃书于纸上。毕而卧。凄然入梦。乙酉年七月初七。-----啸之记。ContentsEnvironmentalProtection1.Environmentalhazardsareoftentoogreatforparticularcountriesorindividualstotackle.Wehavearrivedatapointintimewheretheonlywaytolessenenvironmentalproblemsisataninternationallevel.P74—5环境问题现在非常严重了，严重到单个的国家或者是个人没法解决的程度。换言之，我们已经到了一个只有在全世界范围内才可以解决这个问题的地步。从多大程度上你同意或者不同意这种观点？2.Asaresultofcountriesbecomingmoreandmoreindustrialized,pollutionhasbecomeaseriousproblem.Discusssomewaysthatcanmitigatethepollutionproblems.P92—5随着国家的工业化程度加深，环境污染成了一个严重的问题。请谈一下哪些方法可以减轻环境污染问题。3.Forestsarethelungsoftheearth.Theirdestructionwillaccelerateextinctionofanimalsandultimatelymankind.Forthisreason,loggingintheworld’srainforestsshouldbephasedoutoverthenextdecade.Towhatextentdoyouagreeordisagreewiththisopinion?P107—5森林是地球的呼吸器。森林被破坏将会加速动物的灭绝并最终导致人类的灭亡。因此，应该逐渐停止热带森林地区的伐木。从多大程度上你同意或者不同意这种观点？4.Aquariumsandwildlifesanctuariesareseenassourcesofeducationandentertainmentforfamilies.Theyarealsoessentialtoconductlife-savingresearch.However,thereisoppositiontoconfininganimalsinthisway.Discusssomeoftheargumentsforandagainstthemaintenanceofzoosandpresentyouropinion.P109—6水族馆和野生动物避难所被视为家庭教育和娱乐的场所。这些地方也是进行救生研究的场所。但也有人反对以这些方式限制野生动物。就支持和反对保留动物园这些场所的论点进行讨论，并阐述你的观点。5.Tourismisseenasamajorindustryformanycountries.However,ittendstohaveadeleteriouseffectontheenvironmentandshouldbestrictlymonitored.Towhatextentdoyouagreeordisagreewiththisopinion?P113—6旅游业被许多国家视为主要产业。但是这会导致严重的环境污染，应该严格禁止。从多大程度上你同意或者不同意这个看法？6.Freshdrinkingwaterisbecomingascarceandalltooexpensivecommodityinmanypartsoftheworld.Discussthecausesandgivesuggestionsforhowtoensureadequatewatersupplyfortheworld’sinhabitants.P127—7在全世界范围内，饮用水正在变成一种稀缺而又昂贵的商品。讨论造成这些的原因，并提出建议，如何确保世界居民的水供应。ScienceandTechnology1.Inlightofthetechnologicalroutethateducationisontodaytherehasbeensomespeculationastotheroleofteachersinfutureeducation.Towhatextentdoyouthinkteachersarebeingreplacedbycomputers?P81—7当今教育随着技术发展的趋势，确实应该考虑一下教师在未来教育中的角色了。在多大程度上教师会被电脑所取代呢？2.Theyoungergenerationisup-to-datewithnewtechniquesandadvancesinscience.Theyareoftenbetterabletomakeimportantdecisionsthantheirparentsare.Towhatextentdoyouagreeordisagreewiththisopinion?P88—8年轻一代伴着日新月异的新科技长大。所以他们比父辈更加有能力作出重要的决定。你是否同意？3.ManyareoftheopinionthattheInternetisinundatingourchildrenwithdangerousinformation.ThereishowevernodoubtthattheInternetrepresentsgreatadvancesincommunicationandthedisseminationofinformation.DiscusstheprosandconsoftheInternetandpresentyouropiniononthismatter.P94—8许多人认为互联网使青少年陷入了危险的信息当中。但是互联网又毫无疑问地代表了交流和传播信息的进步。讨论一下你对互联网的正面负面影响的看法。4.Spendingmoneyonscientificresearchshouldonlybeapprovedwhenthereareeconomicbenefitsresultingformtheresearch.Towhatextentdoyouagreeordisagreewiththisopinion?P100—9只有能带来经济回报的科研项目才应该被批准。你是否同意？5.Althoughmanybenefitsmayresultfromspaceexploration,thecostsinvolvedareenormous.Thereissomedebateastowhetherthismoneycouldbemorewiselyspenttoprovideforthebasicneedsofmankindsuchasfood,cleanwater,contraceptionetc.Forthisreasonspaceexplorationshouldberestricted.Whatisyouropinion?P104—9尽管太空探索可以带来许多好处，但投入的成本也是巨大的。人们就这些钱是应该用在太空探索上还是应该更明智一些，花在人们的基本需求方面（比如食物、纯净的水、避孕措施等）的问题展开讨论。6.Technologyismakingitpossibletostayathomeandwork.Discusstheadvantagesanddisadvantagesofthisandpresentyouropiniononthisissue.P115—10科技可以使人们足不出户就可以工作成为可能。请阐述其优点和缺点，并给出你的观点。7.Withthedevelopmentofmodernscienceandtechnology,someaspectsoftraditionalculturearebeinglost,andsomepeoplenowbelievethattraditionalcultureswilleventuallybereplacedbymodernscienceandtechnologysuchascomputersandtheInternet.P118—10随着现代科技的发展，传统文化的某些方面必然会失去。有人认为传统文化最终将被电脑等现代科技代替。你的观点是什么？8.Doesmoderntechnologymakelifemoreconvenient,orwaslifebetterwhentechnologywassimpler?Whatisyouropinion?P125—11现代科技真的使生活更方便了吗？还是说过去技术比较简单的时候生活更好些呢？你怎么看？9.Moderntechnologyhashadagreatinfluenceonpeople’sentertainmentchoices,makingthemlesscreative.Towhatextentdoyouagreeordisagreewiththisopinion?P136—11现代科技对人们的娱乐有巨大的影响，使得人们缺乏创造性。你是否同意这种观点？10.Whatdifferentiatesonecountryfromanotherisbecomingincreasinglydifficulttodefineintoday’sworld.Nowadays,itisnotuncommonforpeopletohavethesameconsumerproductsandtoexperiencethesamemediatheworldover.Towhatextentdotheadvantagesoutweighthedisadvantages?P77—12当今世界，国家与国家之间的区别越来越难以界定。现在，世界各地的人们使用同样的消费品，接触同样的媒体，已经是习以为常的事情了。全球化优点要比缺点号多少呢？11.Technologycanbringmanybenefits,butitcanalsocausesocialandenvironmentalproblemsInrelationtonewtechnology,theprimarydutyofgovernmentsshouldbetofocusonpotentialproblems,ratherthanbenefits.Pleasediscusstheissuesraisedhereandofferyouropinion.P143—12科技能带来许多好处，但同时也会造成社会和环境问题。就新技术来讲，政府应该主要盯住潜在的问题，而不是带来的益处。请谈谈你的观点。Socialproblems1.Shouldcriminalsbepunishedwithlengthyjailtermsorbere-educatedandrehabilitatedusing,forinstance,communityserviceprograms,beforebeingreintroducedtosociety.Presentawrittencaseorargumenttoaneducatednot-specialistaudienceontheabovetopic.P83—12罪犯应该长期监禁还是应该对他们进行再教育，并在他们重新进入社会之前，做一些社区服务使他们改过自新为社会所用。谈谈你的观点。2.Salariespaidtoemployeesareanaccuratereflectionoftheirvaluetosociety.Towhatextentdoyouagreeordisagreew
