【正文】 that they contribute greatly to the world economy by paying taxes to the government and employing hundreds of workers. Personally, I believe that cigarette production and consumption threatens to do more harm than good. Firstly, smoking is responsible for many fatal diseases such as lung cancer, heart diseases and so on. According to the survey, tobacco consumers account for about 20% of the world population, and among them, three million people die from smokingrelated decreases every year. The fact that the output of tobacco production is reduced from billion pounds in 1994 to billion pounds in 1995 also suggests that people have e to realize the negative effects of smoking. Secondly, tobacco consumption is extremely wasteful of money. As is indicated in the pictures, 200 billion US dollars is lost due to smoking each year. Obviously, the total loss of money around the globe substantially exceeds the gain in the industry.In conclusion, as the economic development aims at making our life better, we cannot sacrifice our health for shortterm financial benefits. If we have to spend more and more money providing medical services for those who suffer from smokingrelated illnesses, the notion of promoting economy via tobacco production is not justifiable. It is high time that we fought for the total tobacco ban.翻譯：大多數(shù)人認(rèn)為吸煙已經(jīng)導(dǎo)致了嚴(yán)重的問題。然而煙草公司聲稱他們通過給政府納稅和雇傭成百上千的工人，從而為世界經(jīng)濟做出了巨大的貢獻。個人而言，我認(rèn)為煙草的生產(chǎn)和消費弊大于利。首先，吸煙是導(dǎo)致諸如心臟病、肺癌等很多致命疾病的原因。根據(jù)調(diào)查，煙民大約占世界人口20%，而在他們中間，每年有300萬人死于與吸煙相關(guān)的疾病。，也證明了人們已經(jīng)逐漸意識到吸煙的負(fù)面影響。其次，煙草消費非常浪費金錢。如圖所示，每年由于吸煙損失2000億美元。顯而易見，全球金錢總損失明顯超過工業(yè)受益?？偠灾捎诮?jīng)濟發(fā)展旨在改進人民生活，我們不能為了短期經(jīng)濟利益犧牲健康。如果我們不得不花費越來越多的錢為那些受吸煙相關(guān)疾病所困擾的人群提供醫(yī)療服務(wù)的話，那么通過煙草生產(chǎn)來發(fā)展經(jīng)濟的觀念就站不住腳了。我們早就該進行一場全面禁煙的戰(zhàn)役了。（二）1999年真題Directions: Study the following set of pictures carefully and write an essay in no less than 150 words. Your essay should cover all the information provided and meet the requirements below:effect of the country’s growing population on its wildlife,possible reason for the effect,Your suggestion for wildlife protection.范文：Currently, there is a widespread concern regarding the previously neglected connection between growing human population and decreasing wild species. As the two graphs obviously portrayed, American population in 1980 was 250 times than that in 1800, a trend acpanied by the extinction of nearly 70 kinds of wildlife in the past 300 years. A clear correlation is suggested that mankind has exerted a tremendously negative influence on natural resources.There are a great many causes responsible for the aforementioned tendency. To begin with, to satisfy the space demand for booming population, the only available solution for Americans is to take occupation of forests and grasslands that used to be the habitat of wild animals and plants. In addition, the process of industrialization and urbanization has generated severe pollution that essentially destroys environment and ecosystem.In my point of view, the dearth of wild species today forecasts an unpromising future for humans tomorrow. In order to eliminate species extinction, relevant laws and regulations must be established and enforced to maintain a large portion of unspoiled areas. Drastic measures should also be applied to ensure that the impact of pollution be removed.翻譯：近年來人們開始普遍關(guān)注以前被忽略的人口增長和自然物種減少之間的關(guān)系。正如兩幅圖表顯示，1980年的美國人口是1900年的250倍，同時在過去的300年間大約有70種野生生物在美國滅絕。這清楚表明人類給自然物種帶來了巨大的負(fù)面影響。以上趨勢是由諸多原因造成的。首先為了滿足迅速增長的人口對于空間的需求，對于美國人來說唯一有效的解決辦法就是占據(jù)森林和草原，而這些地方曾是野生動植物的棲息地。此外，工業(yè)化和城市化的進程造成了嚴(yán)重的污染，在根本上摧毀了環(huán)境和生態(tài)系統(tǒng)。我認(rèn)為，今天野生動物種類的滅絕和數(shù)量的減少預(yù)示著將來人類并不明朗的前景。為了減少物種滅絕，我們應(yīng)該制定并執(zhí)行相關(guān)的法律法規(guī)來保留大部分的原始生態(tài)區(qū)。同時，我們也應(yīng)該采取有效的措施來確保消除污染的影響。四、圖畫作文：（一）2004：Directions:Study the following drawing carefully and write an essay in which you should1. describe the drawing.2. interpret its meaning, and3. support your view with examples.You should write about 200 words neatly on ANSWER SHEET 2. 范文：It is vividly depicted in the cartoon that a boy is running along the racetrack with painstaking efforts, sweat pouring down his face. After a long journey, he is making the final spurt toward the finishing line, with strong determination to bee a champion. It seems that he could rest for a while to enjoy the ecstasy of victory. However, straight ahead lies a sign which indicates a new “starting point” and urges him to continue rushing to the next destination.Undoubtedly, the cartoon conveys the meaning that life is like the process of running in which one should make constant efforts and never stop making progress. Owing to the quickening pace of life, petition goes increasingly fierce in all walks of life, stimulating everyone to pursue one goal after another. Once a person stops making progress, he can hardly maintain his past glory and survive in this petitive world. As Deng Xiaoping, the great Chinese leader said, “Development is inarguable truth.” No matter how powerful a specific institution is, it will definitely seek new development in high speed. Generally speaking, neither a country nor a person can remain stagnant.A case in point is the successful launching of “Shenzhou Ⅶ Spacecraft” which sets China in a high position of aviation and space flight. Although it means a great achievement for us Chinese, we are facing new challenges in the forthing future and need to do further research in space technology. Another illustration is closely related to us, the examinees. If we pass this test and are confronted with the challenge of conquering the difficult graduate courses. We still have to strive for success in our future academic study, employment and career. On the whole, these examples effectively clarify the saying that “destination is another starting point.” (296 words)翻譯：如圖生動所示，一個小男孩正在沿著跑道跑步。他付出艱苦的努力，汗水淌下臉龐。在長途跋涉之后，他正在向著終點進行最后沖刺，抱有成為冠軍的堅定決心?？雌饋硭梢孕菹⒁粫?，享受勝利的狂喜。然而，在正前方有標(biāo)志顯示一個新的“起點”，激勵他繼續(xù)朝著下一個目標(biāo)前進。毫無疑問，這幅漫畫顯示了如下含義：人生就像跑步的過程一樣，人們應(yīng)該不斷努力，絕不停止進步。由于生活節(jié)奏的加快，各行各業(yè)的競爭變得日益激烈，激勵每個人追求一個又一個的目標(biāo)。一旦一個人停止取得進步，他很難保持過去的榮譽，在這個競爭世界中生活下去。正如偉大
