     If I were given a chance to do some volunteer, I would help the seniors.Now there are more and more retirees in my country, and the nursing homes andsenior center are not doing a very good job to help the seniors. There are quitea few things that I can do to help the seniors, I can read them newspapers, tohelp them get access to what is happening around the world. I also could assistthem to tidy up their rooms so they might have a very good mood everyday. Apartfrom that, I can just talk with them, seniors get lonely easily, and byinteracting with them, they will feel a sense of belong to the community andthat there are someone out there who care about them. With all the above reasonsand more, I would volunteer to help seniors.

 

 

     I would say I like to take the photography class, I have a very genuineinterest in photographing, and I am very passionate about expressing myselfthrough imageries. I take pictures to record my own life, and it is a very goodway to reflect the past, also I like to help others to remember their preciousmoments by photos, like their weddings, graduation ceremonies and some otherspecial events. I just feel that when I am not using my camera, there is a voidin my life. But I still need to get better in photographing, so I would like totake this class.

 

 

    I would say I like to do lots of sports in school during my spare time. Inour school, we have a very up to standard gym. we have a very nice swimmingpool, basketball court, badminton court and other facilities. I like playbasketball most. usually I play basketball with my best friends. also I like toread books in our school library. reading books make a man intelligent and itoffers you experience that you will probably not have in your daily life. Apartfrom that, I like to attend lectures offered by lots of prestigious professors.I am very curious and eager to learn. so these lectures definitely are myfavorites.

 

 

    I would definitely choose to play a new sport. I find it very relaxing whenI play sports, it helps me to release my tension and depression that I got fromboth my life and study. Apart from that, playing sports is a very good way tokeep healthy and try to be in good shape. It helps you to build up some musclesand be athletic, it is also good for your cardio vascular system. Lastly, I geta chance to meet new friends and broaden my social network when playing a sport,getting to know different people is a very thrilling experience for me.

 

 

    I think we should reduce the use of private cars and encourage the use ofpublic transportation. This helps to ease pollution by reducing the green houseemission from cars. The decision makers should invest more money to improvepublic transportation, like add more bus routes, even build subways, and providetrams in the city, and make public transportation more accessible in general.With the reduce of air pollution, people get a chance to breath fresh air, andkeep healthy.

 

 

 

    阅读文章要点：

 

    1.此鲸在冰下寻食，角可以把冰弄碎，角伸出冰面呼吸，有人在冰面上看到过这种角。

 

    2.雄性鲸，可以用角来作为武器，保护领地。

 

    3.此角与鲸的神经系统相连，可以感知海洋的温度、咸度、气压等来有助于生存。

 

    听力逐一反驳：

 

    1.用手摸会发现角很软，可以弯曲，只能弄碎很薄的冰面。人们看到冰面上的角，是因为本身冰就破了，它们只是把角伸出来，并没有把冰弄碎。

 

    2.从远处看，以为鲸在打仗，近看会发现其实它们在用角很轻的互相touch,这是它们的一种交流方式。

 

    3.很多雌鲸没有角，寿命却比雄性长，所以此角有助于生存是不正确的。

 

 

    解析：这是一道典型的“A>B”题型，笔者认为“现在教学比过去更难”比较好写，即同意题目。具体思路如下：

 

    理由一：现在教学很困难，因为家长的要求越来越多。不可否认，现在的家长希望自己的子女在各个方面的表现都能比同龄人更好，因此他们极其重视小孩的教育，这相应地增加了教学的压力。(+具体事例)但是，过去家长让孩子上学最主要的目的就是希望他们考高分，然后毕业能找到好工作来养家糊口。换句话说，过去教学比较专注于成绩。Teaching isextremely difficult today, because parents are expecting for more. It’sundeniable that parents nowadays wish that their kids can have a betterperformance in all respects than their peers do. Hence, parents are paying lotsof attention to their kids’ education, which increases the pressure of teachingaccordingly.(+具体事例) However, the major goal of those parents in the past isthat their children can get a high grade in school and thus are able to supportthe family by landing a good job. In other words, teaching in old days onlyconcentrated on kids’ academic performance.

 

    理由二：现在教学很困难，因为现在的小孩不好管理。随着人口的急剧增长，很多国家都开始实施一些政策来控制人口数量。因此，独生子女家庭越来越多，而被宠坏的小孩也越来越多，这使得小孩在学校学习的时候越来越不受老师管束，甚至阻碍教学的进行。(+具体事例)然而，过去家庭的小孩都比较多，父母不会特意地去专宠某一个;而且，过去艰难的生活条件也让孩子能更早地成熟和懂事。Teaching issignificantly hard in contemporary society, since it’s not a simple task tomanage children today. As the population increases greatly, many countries startenacting some policies to control the number of people. So, the family with onlyone child is expanding, and there are more and more spoiled kids, which makes ittough for teachers to supervise and to manage them in the school and even setsobstacles for teaching.(+具体事例)But in the past, a family usually had severalkids, and parents could not possibly dote on only one of them. What’s more, thepoor living standard in old days would make children become mature and sensibleearlier.

 

    结尾段：虽然过去由于设备落后的原因，教学也不是那么方便、简单。但是，和“理由一”、“理由二”没法比。因此，我认为现在教学更困难。In thefinal analysis, we can’t deny that sometimes teaching might be hard in the past,due to the undeveloped facilities. However, when compared with these explanationand details I just provided to support my position, the opposite opinion looksparticularly lackluster. Consequently, I’m still convinced that teaching isharder today than it was in the past, for parents now have more requirement andchildren are too spoiled.
