Q1.Among the following three types of work, which would you enjoy doing the most? Helping children with communication problems, doing community work, growing plants in the garden. 重复 2010.10.22NA
If I had to work as a volunteer, I think I would choose to do something with children. I have had a lot of experience working with children and think I could get the most satisfaction from this kind of volunteer work. Last summer I worked at a summer camp. At this camp, the children had a chance to go to the countryside and do activities they don't get a chance to do in the city. My favorite activity was helping the children learn how to ride a horse. At first they were very nervous about being around the horses, but they soon overcame their fears and really enjoyed being around these beautiful creatures. It is very rewarding to give children an opportunity to do things they don't normally get a chance to do. I would like to volunteer to help children.
Q2. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Watching sports programs on television is not a good use of time. 重复 2011.7.8NA
I love sports. That is, I love playing sports but I don’t like watching sports on TV. When I watch a sports game on TV, I actually get really bored. I think to myself, “I would rather being playing a sport than watching it on TV.” Granted, sometimes you can see some spectacular plays when you watch professional sports on TV, but in general I am bored watching other people play. My favorite part about sports is the competition. When I sit in my living room watching the game on TV, I don’t really feel a part of the competition. No matter how much I cheer, the players won’t hear me. I am not helping them win at all. I would rather be the one playing than watching.

重复2010年10月22日鬼火
阅读材料讲wetland 里面鬼火 will-o'-the-wisp 的原因，三个：1)埋在里面的有机体释放出可燃的气体;2)是一种electric spark;3)一种能发光的蘑菇附着在鸟身上。
听力反驳：1)可燃气体是不动的，但是人们看见的鬼火是move around;2)electric spark是在wetland下面的rock中生成的，不会跑到上面来;3)这种蘑菇的发光物质在体内，要broken into pieces 才有用，但是这种物质不sticky，所以会从鸟身上掉下来。

Although science and technology will Continue to improve, the most significant for the quality of peoples live have already taken place. 重复2011.3.11NA
范文：
It has been argued that despite the continued advancement of science and technology, our liveshave changed in a way that is more tremendous than ever. I, however, disagree.
First, environmental problems are still on the waiting list. Technology-dominated industrialization has generated such problems as global warming, acid rain and urban smog, all of which have given rise to a series of adverse effects—climate change, death of aquatic life and respiratory diseases. Although the quality of life has improved, there are still many things that could be improved in China, like safety and living conditions. If the most significant transformation in living standards has taken place, how is it possible that ecocide is still a real and ever-present danger?
Second, world peace still hangs by a thread. Take the Iraq War for example. It broke out eight years ago and since then Iraqis have been living in hell. Their homes are torched and destroyed and their families have been torn apart. It is certain that they have not received all the benefits of advanced technology. Superpowers are busy with nuclear experiments, but thisadvanced technologyhas brought anything but world peace. If the most significant transformation in living standards has taken place, how is it possible that some people on this planet are still in great agony?
Last, the pace of life is increasingly faster and shows no sign of slowing down. Undoubtedly, development in IT industries and communication devices has enabledpeople to enjoy more convenient lives. However, it is also the seemingly almighty technologies that have put people in suffering. Wherever you go, cell phones make it possible for your boss to spot you and give you more work, whether you like it or not. Computers, which give companies the ability to teleconference and conduct online interviews, have turned our homes into a mere extension of our offices. If the most significant transformation in living standardshas taken place, how is it possible that people now are still suffering from deprived sleep, unbalanced diet and strained family relations?
All in all, science and technology have been and will continue to develop, but the fundamental transformation of our lives has not yet taken place. (366 words)
