(2016·江西南昌模拟)Bullfighting has been a Spanish culture symbol for hundreds of years.At first,bullfighting was used to test bravery and manhood.Later,bullfighting was spread to Rome.My question is:how can some people view this as an art form and a tradition?
The big controversy over bullfighting is whether or not it is ethically right.There are a lot of arguments on both sides debating whether it is right or wrong.Even though some people see this as an art form or a tradition,a recent study showed that 68.8% people had no interest in bullfighting,20.6% had some interest and 10.4% had a lot of interest. A lot of people say that it is a bloody sport that results in the suffering of bulls.A
lot of bullfighters like to shave the bull’s horns.That gives the bull a disadvantage.The horns of the bull help it judge distance and maintain its balance.Even though shaving is physically harmless to the bull,the shave is very traumatic to the bull as it is often psychologically beaten.
I was looking at a website that was discussing whether bullfighting is a sport.Someone said,“Bull-fighting is not a sport.It is not an equal contest between a bull and a man.It is a tragedy;the death of a bull is played by the bull and the man involved.”
The people who are for the bullfighting say that it is culturally important and is an art form just like painting,dancing,and music.They say bullfighting is the only art where the artist is in danger of death.It demonstrates the artist’s courage.It has been compared to circus art,but circus artists do not kill an animal to achieve their effect.
In conclusion,bullfighting is a cruel event.The bull has a disadvantage and is tortured in front of thousands of people. 【文章大意】 文章主要介绍了西班牙斗牛运动对公牛本身和对斗牛士等的不利因素,由此告诉我们斗牛运动是一种残酷的事件。

(2016·德州高三质检)Childhood is a time when there are little duties.If a child has good parents,he is fed,looked after,and loved no matter when he may do.It’s impossible for him to be given such much again in his later life.But a child is not so free to do as he wishes it.He is continually being told not to do this,not to do that,or being punished for what he had done wrong.
When the young man starts to make their own living,he becomes free from the rules of school and parents.Therefore,he can no longer expect others to pay his food,his clothes,and his room.He has to work hard to live comfortable.If so,he can have the great happiness of build up his own position in society. 答案:
