As far as I am concerned, some classics should not be removed from textbooks. For one thing, the classics, including Lu Xun's, are still relevant for today's youth to learn. They not only depict the society in the past centuries, but teach us about honesty, integrity, courage and dignity, which are fundamental virtues for a human being at all times. For another, the classics selected into textbooks have been proved highly effective and successful in the Chinese language and literature education over the years. In addition, some contemporary literature will probably become outdated in a few years. All in all, any change to school textbooks should be carefully considered. 108、
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled Should Students Go Abroad to Study?. You should write at least 150 words following the outline given below.
现在有不少学生希望能够出国留学： 1. 有人认为出国留学很有必要
2. 有人认为没有必要 3. 我的观点
参考答案 Should Students Go Abroad to Study? Nowadays, a growing number of students are planning to study abroad. However, people's opinions are sharply divided on this issue. For example, my friend James is studying in the USA and tells me about his overseas life and study. According to him, there are many advantages. Firstly, studying overseas forces him to cope with everything by himself, and broadens his horizons as well. Secondly, this experience is conducive to a better career path in that it has developed both his abilities and personality. Last but not least, many developed countries offer a relatively better education. On the contrary, another friend of mine, Claire, never agrees with James. She claims that as we have never stepped on foreign lands, it is unwise to follow the trend blindly. Furthermore, the culture gap could not be ignored, which may create obstacles for cross-cultural communication. The more barriers one meets, the more discouraged one may become. In addition, the expenses are too high for most families. As for me, I do not agree with either of them. With regard to James' opinion, I believe one's success lies in what one is striving for instead of where one is. I know some people who came back from abroad could not find a job while some others who received education at home have succeeded in their own fields. As for Claire's opinion, I don't think it is wise to reject everything before trying and gaining a whole picture of it. We should believe in ourselves in dealing with what we may encounter. Indecision about whether to study abroad makes no sense. What really counts is the determination at the time of decision and the willpower after that. 110、 This part is to test your ability to do practical writing.

The loss of biological diversity has become most spectacularly noticeable in extinction or decline of populations of large and well-known animals. Many animal species have become extinct since the 1700’s, among them the California grizzly bear (加得弗尼亚灰熊), the dodo (渡渡鸟), and the passenger pigeon (候鸽). Hundreds of other animal species are threatened. In North America, endangered species include the black-footed ferret (黑足貂), the California condor (秃鹫), the desert tortoise, and the whooping crane.
Most species in danger of extinction anywhere in the world are suffering from the encroachment of human beings. The Asian elephant, for example, has become an endangered species due to the
expansion of the human population throughout its range in southern Asia. In Africa, the African elephants are being killed off for their tusks. Monkeys and other primates throughout the world are threatened by hunting, capture for medical use, and the destruction of their habitats. And the rhinoceroses (犀牛), lions, and other large mammals of the African savanna (grassy plains with scattered trees) compete for land and life with some of the most rapidly growing human populations in the world.
The loss of biological diversity is most severe, however, in the tropical rain forests. The forests of the tropics are particularly vulnerable to disturbance because the soils have a low capacity for retaining nutrients (营养). Most of the forests’ nutrient elements are held in the tissues (组织) of plants. When loggers (樵夫) and farmers destroy existing plant cover, the nutrients are washed from the land into streams, and the land itself becomes less able to support life. Destruction of these forests destroys the habitat of hundreds, sometimes thousands, of species---from such creatures as the howler monkey (吼猴)and indigo macaw (金刚鹦鹉), to less visible species of plants, insects, and microbes, many of which are not yet known to science.
