【正文】 car. 2) Disadvantages of owning a private car. 3) Should it be necessary to enlarge the private car market? Why or why not? Nowadays, any Chinese can enjoy the luxury of owning a private car – if he or she can afford it. Having a car of your own means no more traveling to work on crowded buses or subway trains, and you can drop off the children at school on the way. Moreover, it also means that you can enjoy the weekends and holidays better, because with a car you can go to places where the regular buses and trains do not go, and so you can find a quiet scenic spot with no crowds. However, there are drawbacks to owning a car. For one thing, with the increase in car ownership in recent years, the roads are being more and more crowded, often making the journey to work more of a nightmare than a dream. For another, it is not cheap to run a car, as the prices of gasoline and repairs are constantly rising, not to mention the prices you have to pay for a license and insurance coverage. Having considered both sides of the argument, I have e to the conclusion that the advantages of owning a car outweigh the disadvantages. Therefore, it seems to me that China should increase its output of automobiles and enlarge the private car market. The result would be that cars would bee cheaper, while at the same time the extra demand would encourage the auto industry to produce more efficient and familyoriented vehicles.Task 2 Assuming that a manager is going to interview some job applicants and one of his friends gives him a piece of advice that the first impression is not a reliable basis for judgment. This manager wants to hear more from others and decides to have a wall newspaper put up for more views on that topic. You are going to write an article to offer your opinion about it. You should write about 200 words neatly on ANSWER SHEET 2. It is monly said that one39。s first impression of a person is the most important one, and this is certainly true when applied to job interviews. This is because the manager often has to interview a dozen or more candidates in the space of only one or two hours, allotting no more than a few minutes to each. Therefore, it is vital for the interviewee to make the best possible impression on his prospective employer during the interview. However, the manager must be aware that he is seeing only the best side of the prospective employee and, as the saying goes, appearances can be deceptive. For instance, that smart new suit that the interviewee is wearing might have been hired from a tailor shop, or lent to him by his brother. In addition, the brief interview does not allow the manager to observe how well or how badly the interviewee might get along with his future colleagues. On the other hand, an interviewee might give a bad impression through no fault of his own. It is possible that he woke up with a headache that morning, or arrived late for the interview because of a traffic jam. The manager must be alert to such accidents, and not judge the interviewee too I think that, although the first impression counts for a lot, the employer should find out some background knowledge about the interviewee before deciding whether to hire him or not.Task 3據(jù)權(quán)威機(jī)構(gòu)調(diào)查顯示，2001年，我國空調(diào)總產(chǎn)量為2500萬臺，而市場容量僅為1500萬臺?？照{(diào)已經(jīng)成為繼VCD、彩電后又一個家電企業(yè)力拼的市場。于是空調(diào)廠家坐不住了，打折、送禮品，甚至出現(xiàn)了空調(diào)論斤賣的怪事。近日，空調(diào)企業(yè)又想出了新花樣：舉辦空調(diào)流行趨勢發(fā)布會。面臨巨大的競爭壓力，多數(shù)空調(diào)生產(chǎn)廠家都意識到了自己生存的危機(jī)，他們不得不推出新產(chǎn)品以占據(jù)消費(fèi)市場。同時(shí)，許多空調(diào)大企業(yè)都聲稱他們不會去挑起空調(diào)價(jià)格戰(zhàn)。但是， will there be an airconditioner price battle this year?There is a discussion in a newspaper on the issue.Write an essay to the newspaper1) giving a brief introduction to the issue,2) stating your view about the price battle, and3) justifying your prediction.You should write about 200 words neatly on ANSWER SHEET 2With the rapid advances in the standard of living of the Chinese people in recent years, airconditioners have joined other household electrical appliances as items in great demand. However, output has far exceeded supply, as manufacturers have scrambled for sales in this profitable market. As a result, fierce petition has driven them to resort to all sorts of measures to pull ahead of their rivals and avoid going bankrupt.These measures include aggressive advertising campaigns, offering a free gift with every purchase of an airconditioner, and most important of all lowering prices. Price wars are a mon phenomenon whenever supply outstrips demand in a freemarket economy, and China39。s newly liberalized economy is no exception. Nevertheless, I do not think we will see a repeat of the recent price war in the airconditioner market this year.I have three reasons for my prediction. The first is that the earlier round of pricecutting eliminated the lessefficient manufacturers from the industry。 so there are fewer panies supplying the market. The second is that the government has taken measures to regulate the airconditioner market, eliminating the chaos that price wars entail. And the third is that with China39。s admission to the WTO, manufacturers will have to offer more attractive not cheaper products.Task 41. Describe the picture2. Deduce the purpose of the drawer of the picture3. Suggest your countermeasures Basically, what we see in this picture is a bird lamenting the fact that its home has been destroyed. Of course, birds usually make their homes in trees, and since there are no trees left in the picture only the stumps, to show that the original trees have been chopped down the bird is left without shelter. In fact, the bird has no choice but to perch on the handle of an axe, which has been used to destroy its original home.We can deduce from this picture that the drawer is trying to attract our attention to the tragedy of the destruction of forests, which is part of the threat to the ecological balance of the planet. He seems to be saying that soon there will be no trees left in the world. In my opinion, the sad little
