问题 写作题

写作。

     假如你叫李华,是一名正在澳大利亚某中学交流的学生,在当地报纸上读到以下报道中

国高考的文章:

    Gaokao, China's college entry test, is considered to be the most difficult academic test in the world.

Only a lucky few are able to cross the "single-log bridge", standing out from thousands of candidates.

It is gaokao that largely determines Chinese students' future success.

    你不太赞同这种理解。请你用英语给该报编辑写一封信,谈一谈不上大学也有自己的

优势,亦可有所作为。

注意:

     ①无须写标题,不得照抄英语提示语;

     ②除诗歌外,文体不限;

     ③开头和结尾已给出,不得再抄写,不计入总词数;

     ④文中不得透露个人姓名和学校名称;

     ⑤词数为120左右。

     Dear Sir or Madam,

            I appreciate your interest in China' gaokao. However, as a young man from China, I'm afraid

     I don't quite agree with the definition given.

__________________________________________________________________________

     Thanks for your consideration.

                                                                                                                                   Yours Sincerely

答案

     It is widely known that with China's economic booming, not only are college graduates in great

demand, but also those with working experience and practical ability. In my personal opinion, the

latter is what most Chinese college graduates are lacking in. On the contrary, if one doesn't go to

college, probably he will try to learn a trade and apply for whatever job he is offered. He is more

likely to be committed to his career, thus making him competitive in the fierce job market. Besides,

interpersonal skills, which one can hardly gain at college, also play an important role.

    In a word, nowadays gaokao is not likely to be the only way out for a student. After all, life is

what you make it.

     If there is one thing I am sure about, it is that in a hundred years from now we will still be reading

newspapers. It is not that newspapers are a necessity. Even now some people get most of their news

from television or radio. Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday. But for most people reading

a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation.

     The nature of what is news may change. What basically makes news is what affects our lives- the

big political stories, the coverage of the wars, earthquakes and other disasters, will continue much the

same. I think there will be more coverage of scientific research, though. It's already happening in areas

that may directly affect our lives, like genetic(基因) engineering. In the future, I think there will be more

coverage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do — as we develop a better understanding of

how the brain operates and what our feelings really are.

     It's quite possible that in the next century newspapers will be transmitted(传送) electronically from

Fleet Street and printed out in our own home. In fact, I am pretty sure that it will happen in the future.

You will probably be able to choose from a menu, making up your own newspaper by picking out the

things you want to read- sports and international news, etc.

     I think people have got it wrong when they talk about competition between the different media

(煤体). They actually feed off each other. Some people once foresaw that television would kill off

newspapers, but that hasn't happened. What is read on the printed page lasts longer than pictures on a

screen or sound lost in the air. And as for the Internet, it is never really pleasant to read something just

on a screen.
