一、假冒伪劣商品
Fake and poor quality commodities are a serious problem. Many things can be faked such as soybean sauce, vinegar, bicycles, and many other things. The interests of consumers are affected, and many enterprises keep losing money because of cheap fake commodities.
There are some reasons for such a phenomenon. The major one is the desire of some people to “make easy money”. These people think nothing of the law of the protection of intellectual property rights.
To get rid of fake and poor quality commodities, the government should educate people to obey the law of the protection of individual intellectual property rights and not to sell any fake goods. The government should punish severely and close down all the factories producing fake goods.

Dear Apartment Management Officer: I am writing to complain about my neighbor Mr. Black.
Mr. Black lives next door to me, and he disturbs my life. He has a party almost every day. During these parties, people are making a lot of noise. They are dancing, laughing and shouting. They often do such silly things till early morning. What’s more, when they have drunk too much, they often quarrel and fight against each other. I can’t put up with all these. I can’t sleep well at night and my kid can’t concentrate on his studies. Please tell Mr. Black to stop all these things and respect others privacy. Looking forward to your reply. Faithfully, Wang Meng

I will be away for a while. The key to the cottage is under the doormat, and the food is in the refrigerator. After entering the house, lock the door from inside at once. The cottage is far away from the
1
nearest town, and the area is not quite safe from burglars. So I think the saying is right “Where there is precaution, there is no danger”.
Have a nice stay here. Yours, Alice

九、你叫李平，是英语系学生会主席。写一封信给王教授，请他做一个有关中国历史的报告。注意信中要包括目的、时间、日期和地点。 May 19,2002
Dear Professor Wang:
On behalf of the Student Union of the English Department, I am writing to invite you to give a lecture on Chinese history.
We have planned to have such a lecture at 2:30 p· m. in Lecture Hall 419, on May 25.
Looking forward to your lecture. Inform us in advance if you can not come. Sincerely yours, Li Ping 十、有人认为男性比女性强，另外有人认为女性也具有与男性竞争的能力。谈谈你的看法。 （选其一）
1） I think sometimes men are superior to women, and sometimes women are superior to men. Men are better than women sometimes. First, men are normally stronger in body and they are able to do the hardest job. Second, men are more individual and creative and often hold the most important and well-paid positions. However, women are better than men sometimes. First, women are more gentle and careful. For example, most nurses are women and they can easily detect delicate changes about their patients and clam them down. In addition, women know well how to put things in a mess in order.
In a word, men and women are equal and they should learn from each other.
2）Should Men and Women Be Equal? People have different ideas about this issue, Some people say that men are superior to women in ability because men are physically stronger, do most of the hard labor in the world and hold most important positions. Other people believe that women have the ability to compete with men. There have been many famous women state leaders and great scientists in the world. We should fully carry out the principle “to each according to his work” so that the enthusiasm of both men and women for work can be fully aroused. 十一、有的人喜欢居住在城市，而有的人则喜欢居住在农村。解释一下他们的
各自原因。 （选其一）
1） People have different ideas about
living in the city or in the countryside.
Some people like living in the city. They say that there are many factories in the city and there are more job opportunities in the city than in the countryside. They also say that city life is more colorful and meaningful because there are many public facilities there such as supermarkets and entertainment centers. But some people like living in the countryside. They say that life in the countryside is closer to nature, quieter and cleaner. Country people don’t suffer from the housing problem, air pollution, noise pollution, traffic jams and traffic accidents.
In brief, it is up to people themselves to make the decision.
2）Where to live —in the City or in the Country
Some people like living in the city because city life has many advantages. They think there are more job opportunities in cities, life there is more colorful and meaningful than that in the country, and there are more modern conveniences in cities for people to enjoy.
But some other people prefer to live in the countryside. They say life in the countryside is closer to nature and better for their health, life there is quieter and that country people are more honest than city people.
I would like to live in a city when I am young to earn enough money and I live in the countryside when I am old for having a quite life. 十二、近些年来，空气污染问题日益受到人们的关注。写一篇有关这方面的短问，内容应涉及： 1. 空气污染的危害 2. 一些可行的解决方法。
Air pollution
The air pollution is harmful and it can be solved.
The air pollution does harm to people. It causes people to suffer from some illnesses such as a headache and a couth. And it affects the environment, too. For example, in some heavily-polluted areas, plants do not grow well or can’t grow at all. But something can be done to solve the problem. First, we can develop a good public bus transportation system to reduce the number of cars on the roads. Cars are the main source of air pollution in many places. And second, we can move all the pollution-causing factories out of cities.
To sum up, something can be done to solve the serious problem of air pollution. 十三、电视商业广告已经成为了我们生活的一部分。写一篇短文，阐述以下你对电视商业广告的看法
Television ads
I think TV commercial ads have both advantages and disadvantage.
To begin with, they are good because they can popularize the latest products. For example, if some people want to buy a digital camera, but they have no idea about which brand is the best and where to buy it. They may just find out relevant information about it by watching TV ads. But , of course, TV commercial ads are
bad because some of them are
misleading. For example, some ad about an English training course says “Come and join us. You can learn how to speak English within 40 minutes.”
To conclude, people should be very much careful about TV commercial ads.
十四、写一篇题目为“生活是什么”的作文。想一想，你个人对生活的看法。作文内容包括 1. 生活意味着什么 2. 举例说明
What is life
I consider life means three things to me.
First, life is hard work. For example, if we can do a part-time job besides our full-time job, we can earn more money and afford nice food, a nice house, or even a nice car. Second life means enjoyment. We should enjoy ourselves because we only live once. We should enjoy ourselves by developing our hobbies and interests such cooking and reading. And third, life means decision. We make decision all our life, for example, on what we should learn, which university we should go to, where we should work, where we should live and whom we should marry.
In a word, I think life means work, enjoyment and decision. 十五、金钱是一切吗？
In Money Everything?
I don’t think money is everything,
but we can’t do without it. Fox example,
money can’t buy us happiness and a
good education. And for another example, money can’t buy us good health and a long life. But we can not live without money. We need it for our daily necessities such as food, clothes and transportation. What’s more, we need it to live a better life. In short, we should learn the value of money and make the most of its advantages. 十六、 1．在中国，自行车是最为流行的交通工具。 2．骑自行车有许多好处。 3．自行车的未来……
The Bicycle in China
The bicycle is the most popular means of transportation in China. China is a country “on bicycle wheels”. People ride them for various purposes such as going to and from school and work. Bicycles are very cheap and easy to buy in China.
There are many advantages to riding a bicycle. First, using a bicycle can greatly help reduce the air pollution in many big cities. Second, people can improve their health by riding a bicycle. The future of bicycle will be bright. In some European countries, city
governments have arranged pedestrians to use “public bicycles” to travel round the city center free of charge
