教育题目
◎ 学校教育(schooling)与家庭教育(parenting)都是不可或缺的(indispensable),对于孩子的身
心发育起着重要的作用(physical and mental development)。家庭教育(upbringing)可以给孩
子正确的引导和正确的世界观(guideline, direction, and right world outlook)。学校教育的优
势在于学生生活在集体的氛围中(environment),可以培养竞争意识、合作精神和独立性
(cultivate sense of competition, sense of cooperation and independence)。 学生不仅是知识的
接受者(information recipients),现在的学校大多是文化和社交活动丰富(culturally and
socially diversified),理想中的学校应该是满足学生的全面发展的要求(development in an
all-round way. Ideally,universities should attain their goals if they tailor all the courses or

http://bbs.iyuce.com
我预测论坛

programs to meet the needs of well-rounded development.)


◎ 高等学校的功能,是为了未来就业(future career),还是学习(academic qualifications)。
◎ 出国留学的益处和寄宿学校的优势在于培养学生的独立能力(independence)、适应能力
(adaptability)、应对危机的能力(crisis-solving)、解决问题的能力(problem-solving)、建立
友谊(build up friendship)、沟通的能力(communication skills)、建立良好的人际关系的能力
(interpersonal relationship),独立思考的能力(independent thinking)。
科技与教育相结合
◎ 远程教育(on-line learning)不能取代(replace)老师,而应是学校教育的补充(complementary
approach),二者不是相互排斥的(they are not mutually exclusive)。教师除了可以灌输知识
(impart knowledge),还可以激励学生(give the students motivation),灌输高尚的道德观
(instill high moral values),给学生以灵感(give the students inspiration),是学生的进步的促
进者、导师、引导者和伙伴(facilitator, supervisor, guide and partner)。老师的作用是通过
面对面的交流(face-to-face communication),在课堂上提出引人深思的(thought-provoking)
和予以人启迪的(enlightening)问题,甚至对学生的影响是深远的(far-reaching impacts),
全面教育应该是道德教育、伦理教育和心理教育的结合(students need to be educated
morally, ethically and psychologically)。

教育是解决问题的一个途径(分析解决型题目)
education——国际援助话题——除经济援助(financial aid)外,还可以通过教育方式的援助
——教育的援助会发挥很大的作用(make a huge difference),因为这有利于贫困
地区的可持续发展(educational aid is a sustainable development)。
education——尊敬老年人、教师话题(students’ poor behavior)——学生应该尊重师长(should
be educated to respect the old and teachers),这方面提倡家庭的教育和引导
(parental education and guidance is recommended)。
education——大学生就业难的话题——工作难的一个原因可能是没有接受良好的教育(fail
to secure a decent job because of the poor education) ——因而学生应该接受教
育和工作培训,提升就业机会(receive good education and training program to
increase the chances)。
education——青少年犯罪话题(some youngsters embark on the criminal road)——青少年要接
受教育(offer them with adequate education)。
education——环境问题——提升保护环境意识(enhance the awareness of environmental
protection)。
education——解决交通问题——增强人们的安全意识及遵守交通规则(cultivate the sense of
safety, be educated to respect the traffic rules)。

disagree?
A 类一道题目 music and sports
20100508 Schools should concentrate on teaching students the
academic subjects that will be useful for their future careers. Subjects
such as music and sports are not useful. To what extent do you agree or
disagree?
考官回答
参加课外活动的经典回答,适用于课程里是否要安排音乐与
体育。
Such activities are far more from being a waste of time for the
children simply because they are not academic.
If they cannot play make-believe games, how can they develop
their imagination? How can they learn physical co-ordination or learn
important social lessons about winning and losing if they do not
practice any sports? Many children form strong, personal relationships
with the friends they play with, and without the opportunity to do this,
they could grow up emotionally immature or unformed.
Finally, I think it is also important to remember that children need
to relax as well as work..
academic qualifications 学历,学术资格
【考官例句】But overall, I think this is less likely today, when academic qualifications are
essential for getting a reasonable career.
总之,现今学历是找到一份不错工作的必备条件,我认为(这种事情)不太可
能发生。

关于大学的功能是为 future career 做准备么,还是为了
academic qualifications?
They believe that if their children apply themselves and work
hard at school, then they will increase their opportunities for going to
higher education and eventually getting a good job. Of course they are
right, and as access to the best education and best jobs is becoming
more competitive, then it is true that children have to make the best of
their study time when they are young.

CAMBRIDGE IELTS 5 TEST 2

In some countries young people are encouraged to work or travel for a year between finishing high
school and starting university studies.
Discuss the advantages and disadvantages for young people who decide to do this.

It is quite common these days for young people in many countries to have a break from studying
after graduating from high school. The trend is not restricted to rich students who have the money
to travel, but is also evident among poorer students who choose to work and become economically
independent for a period of time.

The reasons for this trend may involve the recognition that a young adult who passes directly from
school to university is rather restricted in terms of general knowledge and experience of the world.
By contrast, those who have spent some time earning a living or travelling to other places, have a
broader view of life and better personal resources to draw on. They tend to be more independent

which is a very important factor in academic study and research, as well as giving them an
advantage in terms of coping with challenges of student life.

However, there are certainly dangers in taking time off at that important age. Young adults may
end up never returning to their studies or finding it difficult to readapt to an academic environment.
They may think that it is better to continue in a particular job, or to do something completely
different from a university course. But overall, I think this is less likely today, when academic
qualifications are essential for getting a reasonable career.

My view is that young people should be encouraged to broaden their horizon. That is the best way
for them to get a clear perspective of what they are hoping to do with their lives and why. Students
with such a perspective are usually the most effective and motivated ones and taking a year off
may be the beat way to gain this.

缩短贫富差距的方法之一是进行国际技术转让,也就是贫穷国家采取工业化国
家的新技术。
思路拓展
关于科技是否加大了贫富差距的话题
Technology widens the rich-poor gap
① It is true that technology has contributed significantly to the
economic development of the world. But we must always remember
that it has a dark side. The development of new technology always
expands the gap between rich and poor. 扩大贫富差距
② In reality, it is not money but technology that drives prosperity.
More important, perhaps, is the reality that poverty is driven and
sustained by a lack of technology. 科技缺乏导致贫困
③ The accumulation of intellectual capital by rich nations has helped
broaden this gap because it has enabled them to control technology

and collect hidden taxes (间接税)from less affluent nations.


④ Numerous examples throughout history support the idea that
technology can be used as a tool of oppression. And there is little
doubt that one country’s technological advancement has allowed it
to exploit natural resources in the poorer countries. 掠夺资源
⑤ In view of the close relationship between economic development
and technical development, I am afraid the gap between rich and
poor will keep growing. 科技发展与经济发展关系密切
⑥ To narrow the gap between rich and poor, or at least slow down the
expansion of the gap, we need more study on marginal lands(边远
地区). This is because most of the rural people living below the
absolute poverty line(贫困线) are living in marginal lands.

the Internet is the key to all the knowledge and information available in
the world today. 人们生活因科技而不断地发生变化,互联网是当今
世界获得知识和信息的关键来源。

Advantages
◆Communication 沟通
Emails and instant messages have made online communication
possible. And internet has excelled beyond the expectations(超出想
象). By the advent of computer’s Internet, our earth has attained the
form of a global village(地球村). Now we can communicate in a
fraction of second (短短几秒钟)with a person who is sitting in the
other part of the world. With help of such services, it has become very
easy to establish a kind of global friendship where you can share your
thoughts, can explore other cultures of different ethnicity.(不同种族间
的文化交流)
◆Information 信息
The Internet is a virtual treasure trove of information(珍宝). Any kind
of information on any topic under the sun is available on the Internet.
There is a huge amount of information available on the internet for
every subject known to man, ranging from government law and
services, trade fairs and conferences, market information, new ideas and
technical support, the list is endless. (貌似天底下的信息你都能查到)
◆Entertainment 娱乐
Entertainment is another popular raison why many people prefer to surf
the Internet. Downloading games(游戏下载), visiting chat rooms (聊
天室)or just surfing the Web(上网冲浪) are some of the uses people
have discovered. There are numerous games that may be downloaded
from the Internet for free(免费下载).
◆Services 服务

discussion forums(论坛) have proved to be popular platforms of
expression. Many services are now provided on the internet such as
online banking(网上银行), job seeking, purchasing tickets for your
favorite movies, guidance services (服务指南) on array of topics
engulfing the every aspect of life, and hotel reservations.
Disadvantages
◆Theft of Personal information 窃取个人信息

personal information such as name, address, credit card number etc. can
be accessed by other culprits(被犯罪分子窃取) to make your

20081129 Some people think traditional games are better than modern
games in helping children develop their abilities. To what extent do
you agree?
弊端:
① The effects of computer games on a child’s health include eyestrain,
headaches, fatigue, repetitive strain injury, and so on. Such effects
on health can prevent children from being able to concentrate fully
at school and could therefore potentially jeopardise their
educational development and consequently their future.
影响身体健康,无法集中精力,对学业和未来产生危害
② Speculation is going on about whether playing games can cause
obesity in the long run. 导致肥胖
③ Specialists have confirmed that children who spend too much time
playing computer games not only are easily susceptible to long-term
problems like bad posture and repetitive strain injury, but it also
causes a disequilibrium (不均衡, 不安定 / 不平衡,失调:失去或缺少稳定或平
衡) in their daily routine. This stands true not only for children

playing games but also for those who spend long hours on the
computer. 除身体健康外,不能平衡日常生活
④ Spending many hours in front of the monitor (接受器,屏幕,扬声器) and
not going out enough could also cause social problems thus
resulting in them becoming shy and introverted (内向的, 含蓄的, 闭关自
守的). 社交能力下降

⑤ Apart from that, the games developed nowadays happen to be a lot


more violent, and thus the gamers do have a tendency to lose
control and become more aggressive. 游戏中的暴力,孩子会失去
自控能力
益处:
① It has also been found that playing these games could improve

逻辑思维能力、解决问题技巧
① Educational games help to improve their communication and

Using a computer every day can have more negative than positive effects on young children. Do
you agree or disagree?

I tend to agree that young children can be negatively affected by too much time spent on the
computer every day. This is partly because sitting in front of a screen for too long can be
damaging to both the eyes and the physical posture of a young child, regardless of what they are
using the computer for.

However, the main concern is about the type of computer activities that attract children. These are
often electronic games that tend to be very intense and rather violent. The player is usually the
‘hero’ of the game and too much exposure can encourage children to be self-centered and
insensitive to others.

Even when children use a computer for other purposes, such as getting information or emailing
friends, it is no substitute for human interaction. Spending time with other children and sharing
non-virtual experiences is an important part of a child’s development that cannot be provided by a
computer.

In spite of this, the obvious benefits of computer skills for young children cannot be denied. Their
adult world will be changing constantly in terms of technology, and the Internet is the key to all
the knowledge and information available in the world today. Therefore it is important that children
learn at an early age to use the equipment enthusiastically and with confidence as they will need

these skills throughout their studies and working lives.

I think the main point is to make sure that young children do not overuse computers. Parents must
ensure that their children learn to enjoy other kinds of activity and not simply sit at home, learning
to live in a virtual world.

energy, including wind and solar power, are encouraged. Is this trend a
positive or a negative development?
关键词解读:记得在一部美国影片中:一位年轻人指著不远处
的一个老头,对其伙伴说:Hey , look at that fossil fuel. 这里的 fossil
fuel 应该是指“老不死”吧。还记得大学期间的一位教授说自己是
old fossil,调侃自己是“老顽固”。那么这道雅思作文里的关键词
fossil fuel,指的是化石燃料,包括煤碳、石油、天然气等在特定地
质条件下形成的沉积矿石。non-fossil fuel 指得就是非矿物燃料
例如:
Gasoline(汽油), coal(煤), natural gas(天然气), diesel(柴油),
and other commodities derived from fossil fuels are non-renewable(自
然资源非再生的). Unlike fossil fuels, a renewable resource(可再生
资源)can have a sustainable yield(可持续发展).
那么题中的另一关键词 alternative sources(替代能源,新能源)
可能就是下面的几种:
solar energy(太阳能)—the fastest growing type of alternative energy
wind power(风能)—Most modern wind power is generated in the form
of electricity
Hydropower(水利发电), derived from the movement of water in rivers
and oceans, can likewise be used to generate electricity(发电)

我预测论坛

Nowadays we are producing more and more rubbish. Why do you think it is happening? What can
governments do to help to reduce the amount of rubbish produced?

I think it is true that in almost every country today each household and family produces a large
amount of waste every week. Most of this rubbish comes from the packaging from the things we
buy, such as processed food. But even if we buy fresh food without packaging, we still produce
rubbish from the plastic bags used everywhere to carry shopping home.

The reason why we have so much packaging is that we consume so much more on a daily basis
than the families did in the past. Convenience is also very important in modern life, so we
packaged or canned food that can be transported from long distances and stored until we need it,
first in the supermarket, then at home.

However, the amount of waste produced is also a result of our tendency to use something once and
throw it away. We forget that even the cheapest plastic bag has used up valuable resources and
energy to produce. We also forget that it is a source of pollution and difficult to dispose of.

I think, therefore, that governments need to raise this awareness in the general public. Children
can be educated about environmental issues at school, but adults need to take action. Governments
can encourage such action by putting taxes on packaging, such as plastic bags, by providing
recycling services and by fining households and shops that do not attempt to recycle their waste.

With the political will, such measures could really reduce the amount of rubbish we produce.
Certainly nobody wants to see our resources used up and our planet poisoned by waste.

工作满足感
◎ 因素
员工可以从很多方面获得对工作的满足感(Employees get job satisfaction in a number of
ways),几个方面的因素能促进工作的满足感(many factors contribute to job satisfaction),
主要围绕几个意识(sense),上级的良好反馈(positive feedback from superiors)、成就感( a
sense of fulfillment)、提升自己(a sense of progress)、团队的归属感(a sense of belonging to a
team or a working community),团队的责任感和忠诚度(a sense of responsibility for and the
loyal to a team),当然如果个人性、和工作性质相吻合就更好了(a job that suits both their
skills and their personality) 。 以 上 几 个 因 素 能 促 成 满 意 感 的 增 加 (contributes to job
satisfaction)。
◎ 增加满足感
公司应该创造公平的竞争环境(create fair competition environment)、机会均等(equal
opportunity)、提升机会(chance of promotion)、给员工提供自我实现的机会(self-fulfillment,
self-realization)等等。
大学生找工作难
◎大学生作为(job-hunter/ job-seeker),很多雇主不愿意招聘没有太多经验(inexperienced)的刚
毕业的大学生(Many employers would not like to recruit newly graduated students without
much experience)。此外,大学生对自己的求职目标定位很高(set high career objective),因
此有些不切实际(unrealistic)。同时由于失业率的上升(high rate of unemployment)、人才的
竞争十分激烈(the competition for jobs is fierce)、且供需不平衡(the imbalance of supply and
demand)就会使找工作雪上加霜(add insult to injury)。
◎ 解决之道
找工作不能纸上谈兵(be an armchair strategist),应该有正确的职位定位(define their career
goals),不要太理想化(less idealistic)。注重专业知识和实践技能(emphasize on both
academic knowledge and practical skills),参加各类的职业培训(vocational skills training),
做到自我提升(self-lifting/ self-enhancement),增强竞争力(competitiveness)。
兼职
◎ 经济上的独立(economically independent),积累工作经验(accumulate working experience),
培养解决问题的能力(cultivate the ability of problem-solving),养成良好的沟通技巧
(communicational skill),有助于自己追求未来的职业目标(pursue their career goals),对自
己的职业目标进行定位(define their career objective),养成一定的竞争意识(cultivate
competitive consciousness)。
高薪
◎ 运动员和明星具有高额的收入(sports professionals, film stars, pop musicians are paid huge
salaries),相比之下,教师、护士及研究人员收入平平(teachers, nurses, laboratory researchers
are never listed among the best-paid professionals),甚至是科学家(research scientists)和政治
家(leading politicians)都无法企及,因此很多人觉得他们(earn their fortunes so quickly),收
入不公平(unfair rewards,not justifiable)。收入的差异是不合理的(The gaps between their
earnings and those of people who work less selfishly for the good of society cannot be
justified)。很多位社会做贡献的职业也应该(be much better appreciated and better paid)。
◎ 如何解释其合理性(How to justify the huge earnings)? 可能的原因在于高收入反映的是体
育的一种公众流行程度(public popularity)。拥有真正天赋的职业运动员数量极少(the

58

http://bbs.iyuce.com
我预测论坛

number of professionals with real talent is very few),薪酬体现了对于为成功而必须拥有的


技能和贡献的认可(the money is a recognition of the skills and dedication)。相对短暂的职业
生涯里(in their relatively short career),职业巅峰期短暂(do not hold their top positions
long),很快就会被人取代(be replaced)。竞争无处不在(Competition is constant)来自媒体的
压力很大(The pressure from the media is intense),几乎无隐私可言(there is little privacy out
of the spotlight)。
跳槽
◎ 跳槽(switch one job to another)是个很普遍的现象(It is a common practice that…)。原因也
是多方面的(manifold):首先可能是工资问题(inadequate payment),工资过低(unreasonable
salary)会促使很多人(change their jobs)。其次是环境:包括工作环境(working environment),
同事间的良好关系与否(interpersonal relationship and peer pressure),竞争环境(competitive
environment),及是否有提升的机会(promotion)。为了寻求这些方面的平衡(strike a balance)
以及实现自我价值(self-fulfillment),很多人愿意换工作(inclined to hop from one job to
another)。
性别差异
◎ 现代女性社会地位的提升(social status),接受了良好的教育(receive good education),重新
定位性别差异且改变了女性地位(recast gender relation and alter the status quo)。科技的发
展带来了远程工作(telecommuting),越来越多的女性走入职场(labor force),很多女性可
以充分发挥才能(give full play to talents)。男性在职场上的主导地位(men’s dominance)被
打破,然而性别歧视(gender discrimination)还是屡见不鲜(common occurrence),甚至是根
深蒂固 (prejudice against women is deeply rooted),因此解决收入不均(address disparity of
rewards between male and female)就是一个很突出的问题。

CAMBRIDGE IELTS 3 TEST 3


In many countries children are engaged in some kind of paid work. Some people regard this as
completely wrong, while others consider it as valuable work experience, important for learning
and taking responsibility. What are your opinions on this? You should use your own ideas,
knowledge and experience and support our arguments with examples and relevant evidence.
The issue of children doing paid work is a complex and sensitive one. It is difficult to say who has
the right to judge whether children working is ‘wrong’ or ‘valuable’. Opinions will also differ as
to ‘learning’ benefits; no doubt teachers and factory owner, for example, would have varying
concerns.
An important consideration is the kind of work undertaken. Young children doing arduous and
repetitive tasks on a factory production line, for example, are less likely to be ‘learning’ than older
children helping in an old people’s home. There are health and safety issues to be considered as
well. It is an unfortunate fact that many employers may prefer to use the services of children
simply to save money by paying them less than adults and it is this type of exploitation that should
be discouraged.
However, in many countries children work because their families need the additional income, no
matter how small. This was certainly the case in the past in many industrialized countries, and for
children today to contribute to the family income in this way.
Nevertheless, in better economic circumstances, few parents would choose to send their children
out to full-time paid work. If learning responsibilities and work experience are considered to be
important, then children can acquire these by having light, part-time paid work or even doing tasks
such as helping their parents around the family home, which are unpaid, the undoubtedly of value
in children’s development.

a person who likes to spend a lot of time sitting or lying down while
watching television. couch potato 这个词最早是由美国加利福尼亚州
名为罗伯特•阿姆斯特朗(Robert Armstrong)的艺术家于 1976 年创
造,随后被人们广泛使用。

世界。mouse 指鼠标,mouse potato 多用来描述那些将大量时间花
费在用电脑上的年轻人,可以称作“电脑迷” 。 A mouse potato is a

CAMBRIDGE IELTS 1 TEST 3

News editors decide what to broadcast on television and what to print in newspapers. What factors
do you think influence these decisions? Do we become used to bad news? Would it he better if
more good news was reported?

It has often been said that “Good news is bad news” because it does not sell newspapers. A radio
station that once decided to present only good news soon found that it had gone out of business for
lack of listeners. Bad news on the other hand is so common that in order to cope with it, we often
simply ignore it. We have become immune to bad news and the newspapers and radio stations are
aware of this.

While newspapers and TV stations may aim to report world events accurately, be they natural or
human disasters, political events or the horrors of war, it is also true that their main objective is to
sell newspapers and attract listeners and viewers to their stations. For this reason TV and radio
stations attempt to reflect the flavour of their station by providing news broadcasts tailor-made to
suit their listeners’ preferences. Programmes specialising in pop music or TV soap operas focus
more on local news, home issues and up-to-date traffic reports. The more serious stations and
newspapers like to provide “so called” objective news reports with editorial comment aimed at
analysing the situation.

If it is true, then, that newspapers and TV stations are tailoring their news to their readers’ and
viewers’ requirements, how can they possibly be reporting real world events in an honest and
objective light? Many radio and TV stations do, in fact, report items of good news but they no
longer call this news. They refer to these as human interest stories and package them in
programmes specialising, for instance, in consumer affairs or local issues. Good news now comes
to us in the form of documentaries the fight against children’s cancer or AIDS, or the latest
developments in the fight to save the planet from environmental pollution.

aviation industry prompted by expanding tourism has already brought considerable benefits)。
◎ 增加税收 (increase the tax revenue)、提高生活水平 (improve the living standard)、 提升城

Some people believe that giving aid to poorer countries has more negative effects than the positive
effects. To what extent do you agree or disagree?

There is a growing trend of giving assistance to the needy countries to help them relieve sufferings
and poverty, and improve the education, medical care as well as technological level. However,
whether the international aid is positive or negative still needs further consideration.

On one hand, people around the world have a moral obligation to help others who suffer from the
poverty and anguish. It is true that the aid should be given to the poorer countries for humanitarian
reasons, which makes it possible to improve people’s living standard and technological level. To
some extent, it may help the needy people get rid of poverty and get through many hardships.
Therefore, it can bridge the widening gap between the rich and the poor. Such improvements can
enhance the economic and technological development in these recipient countries.

On the other hand, we cannot lose sight of the negative effects caused by it. For one thing,
recipients become independent on the donating countries that they are waiting for help in some
cases. There also exists a potential danger of the abuse of the beneficence by some corrupt
governmental officials and inefficient administration In addition, some advanced countries
donate money for economical, political or diplomatic reasons. For example, aid from rich
countries is just a disguised way to exploit cheap natural resources and get great benefits from
poverty-stricken countries.

链接机经关键词
◎ 老龄化社会(aging society)
世界步入老龄化(The world is aging). 老年人(the elderly/ senior citizen / the aged / the old)
的比例增大,由于健康状况和医疗水平的提高 (improved health technology),医疗的改善
和生活水平的提高(social security and medical treatment),人们寿命增长(life span is longer
than before)。
老龄化社会带来的问题:
劳动生产力下降(decrease in effective working force),很多老年人依赖养老金生活(live on
pension),增加了政府的负担(take up the duty of caring for the aged members),社会保障体
系的不完善,基础设施和社会服务满足不了老龄化社会的需求(The infrastructure and
social services for the elderly do not meet the demand), 医疗水平也远不能令人满意
(medical level in the less-developed countries leaves much to be desired)。
老龄化社会解决之道:
加强家庭联系(consolidate the family ties),给老人精神安慰(spiritual comfort)。
养老的方式要多样化:随着核心家庭(nuclear family)的数量增加,以家庭养老(family
function of supporting the elderly),同时社区养老随之出现(local communities are another
type of support),因此应该鼓励社区服务(encourage the community service for the aged).
◎ 退休 retirement
正面影响:多年的工作,老年人可能身心疲惫(extremely burnt out),因而退休生活能够
使老年人放松压力(relax in retirement),同时老年人退休会为年轻人提供就业机会(open
up opportunities for younger people to get into the workforce)。
负面影响:老年人退休,导致他们觉得自己无用(useless),被社会淘汰(mean to be sifted
out),很多情况下会导致心理问题(suffer from certain mental problems);老年人在某一领
域往往 是专业人士 (specialist) , 退休意 味着宝贵劳动资源 的流失 (loss of the labour
resources);老年人退休,增加了社会福利成本(social welfare cost)。
◎ 代沟 generation gap
代沟是不同年龄段人之间的差异(Generation gap means the “distinction” between the old
and the young). 代沟源于不同的世界观(result from different interpretation and appreciation
of the world) , 源 自 于 缺 乏 理 解 和 沟 通 (derive from a lack of understanding, and
communication),争端与摩擦就会时有发生(disagreement and conflict often take place),成
年人和年轻人之间的代沟却无法缓解(generation gap between the grown-ups and the young
remains unbridged.) 缩小代沟(narrow the gap/ bridge the gap),就要消除误解(remove the
misunderstanding),互相包容(tolerance)。
◎ 家庭生活 family life and child-rearing
与男性相比,更多的女性选择照顾孩子(more women than men take time out to raise the
children),随着教育水平的提高,性别歧视有所缓解(gender discrimination),女性的社会
地位得以提升(status quo of women),更多的女性步入职场(employed in the labor force). 女
性要平衡家庭和工作(balance work and home life)是很不容易的事情。

To solve these problems, the busy parents should spare their
children some time and communicate with them so as to improve their
relationship. At the same time, they can also observe their children’s
behavior in order to understand their personality.
Besides that, the parents should try to give up their absolute power

"Fatherhood ought to be emphasised as much as motherhood. The idea that women are solely
responsible for deciding whether or not to have babies leads on to the idea that they are also

responsible for bringing the children up." To what extent do you agree or disagree?

I believe that child-rearing should be the responsibility of both parents and that, whilst the roles
within that partnership may be different, they are nevertheless equal in importance. In some
societies, it has been made easier over the years for single parents to raise children on their own.
However, this does not mean that the traditional family, with both parents providing emotional
support and role-models for their children, is not the most satisfactory way of bringing up
children.

Of crucial importance, in my opinion, is how we define 'responsible for bringing the children up'.
At its simplest, it could mean giving the financial support necessary to provide a home, food and
clothes and making sure the child is safe and receives an adequate education. This would be the
basic definition.

There is, however, another possible way of defining that part of the quotation. That would say it is
not just the father’s responsibility to provide the basics for his children, while his wife involves
herself in the everyday activity of bringing them up. Rather, he should share those daily duties,
spend as much time as his job allows with his children, play with them, read to them, help directly
with their education participate very fully in their lives and encourage them to share his.

It is this second, fuller, concept of 'fatherhood' that I am in favour of, although I also realise how
difficult it is to achieve sometimes. The economic and employment situation in many countries
means that jobs are getting more, not less, stressful, requiring long hours and perhaps long
journeys to work as well. Therefore it may remain for many a desirable ideal rather than an
achievable reality.

CAMBRIDGE IELTS 2 TEST 2

"Prevention is better than cure." Out of a country's health budget, a large proportion should be
diverted from treatment to spending on health education and preventative measures. To what
extent do you agree or disagree with this statement?

Of course it goes without saying that prevention is better than cure. That is why, in recent years,
there has been a growing body of opinion in favour of putting more resources into health
education and preventive measures. The argument is that ignorance of, for example, basic hygiene
or the dangers of an unhealthy diet or lifestyle needs to be combatted by special nationwide
publicity campaigns, as well as longer-term health education.

Obviously, there is a strong human argument for catching any medical condition as early as
possible. There is also an economic argument for doing so. Statistics demonstrate the
cost-effectiveness of treating a condition in the early stages, rather than delaying until more

expensive and prolonged treatment is necessary. Then there are social or economic costs, perhaps
in terms of loss of earnings for the family concerned or unemployed benefit paid by the state.

So far so good, but the difficulties start when we try to define what the 'proportion' of the budget
should be, particularly if the funds will be 'diverted from treatment'. Decisions on exactly how
much of the total health budget should be spent in this way are not a matter for the non-specialist,
but should be made on the basis of an accepted health service model.

This is the point at which real problems occur - the formulation of the model. How do we
accurately measure which health education campaigns are effective in both medical and financial
terms? How do we agree about the medical efficacy of various screening programmes, for
example, when the medical establishment itself does not agree? A very rigorous process of
evaluation is called for, so that we can make informed decisions.

◎ 怎样尽量避免青少年犯罪
为了降低犯罪(crack down youth crime),在解决减少犯罪方面共同努力(join hands in
minimizing the rate of crime):
教育起着不和或缺的作用(Education has an indispensable role to play),对于家庭教育
(parenting role),家长要教孩子(respect others,observe the rules and regulations of school),
给孩子树立正确的人生观和世界观(world outlook and a set of decent values)。
学校应该丰富学生们的生活(enrich students’ life),开设各种各样的活动(various activities),
培养友谊(build up friendship),树立自信(confidence)和对未来的憧憬(aspiration for the
future)。
一个重要的原因可以被归结为新的科技媒介上的信息泛滥(one the of most contributing
factors of youth crime could be attributed to the wide access to the technological products like

同时加强对网络游戏(computer games)和网吧(cyber café)的管理。

思路拓展
Reasons for the rising rate of juvenile delinquency
1 学校的压力 Failure in school:
The mounting pressure from school and society gives rise to the youth
crime. For one thing, they are confronted with the exam-oriented
education and suffer from the study pressure. Failure at school includes
poor academic performance, poor attendance, or more likely, dropping
out of school. This is an important factor for predicting future criminal
behavior. Leaving school early reduces the chance that juveniles will
develop their social skills that are gained in school, such as learning to
meet deadlines, following instructions, and being able to deal
constructively with their peers.
2. 社会影响 Social Factors
Changes in the social structure may indirectly affect juvenile crime
rates. For example, changes in the economy that lead to fewer job
opportunities for youth and rising unemployment in general. When they
enter the society to seek a job, prejudice, misunderstanding and bias are
the barriers and may create the alienation.
3. 家庭影响 Lack of Parental Supervision

149

我预测论坛

Families have also experienced changes with the last 25 years. More
families consist of one-parent households or two working parents;
consequently, children are likely to have less supervision at home that
was common in the traditional family structure. This lack of parental
supervision is thought to be an influence on juvenile crime rates.
Families are important to consider when trying to explain juvenile
delinquency. The family unit is crucial to a child’s development and
healthy upbringing, in addition, much of what a child learns is through
their family or guardians. A criminal parent can teach their child
adverse lessons about life when their child views or witnesses their
parents’ delinquent behavior.
Besides, the juvenile delinquency can be attributed to the rising divorce
rate and family violence. Children’s psychology may be distorted and
have some mental problem.
4. 其他因素 Other Factors: drug, child abuse, crime details on media,
peer pressure
Other identifiable causes of delinquent acts include frustration or failure
in school, the increased availability of drugs and alcohol, and the
growing incidence of child abuse and child neglect. All these conditions
tend to increase the probability of a child committing a criminal act
The crime details and violent pictures on the media are vital causes to
be considered. Another factor to be considered is the peer pressure.

CAMBRIDGE IELTS 2 TEST 4

The position of women in society has changed markedly in the last twenty years. Many of the
problems young people now experience, such as juvenile delinquency, arise from the fact that
many married women now work and are not at home to care for their children. To what extent do
you agree or disagree with this opinion?

161

http://bbs.iyuce.com
我预测论坛

It is certainly true that the position of women in society has undergone a dramatic change in the
past twenty years but I do not feel that this is a direct cause of the indisputable increase in
juvenile-related problems during this period.

It is now accepted that young women should find work on leaving school; indeed to rely totally on
their parents' financial support is no longer an option in many families. Likewise, once they get
married, the majority of women continue working since the financial pressures of setting up a
house and establishing a reasonable standard of living often require two incomes.

Twenty years ago it was common for women to give up work once they had children and devote
their time to caring for their children. This is no longer the general rule and the provision of
professionally-run child care facilities and day nurseries have removed much of the responsibility
for child rearing that used to fall to mothers. However, these facilities come at a cost and often
require two salaries coming into a family to be afforded.

I do not believe that the increase in the number of working mothers has resulted in children being
brought up less well than previously. Indeed it could be argued that by giving mothers the
opportunity to work and earn extra money children can be better provided for than previously.
There is more money for luxuries and holidays and a more secure family life is possible. Of course
there are limits as to the amount of time that ideally should be spent away from home and the ideal
scenario would be for one of the parents (often the wife) to have a part-time job and thus be
available for their children before and after school. It is important to establish the correct balance
between family life and working life.

◎ 动物实验 animal experimentation
人类在很多科学实验(scientific experiment)和医学实验(medical research)的过程中及临床
研究(clinical research)中,都会先在动物身上做试验(animal experimentation/ testing),有些
实验是为了研制疫苗(vaccine),来预防(prevent)和治疗(cure)一些危及人类生命的疾病
(life-threatening diseases);对动物的活体解剖(vivisection)是对动物的折磨(torture),其行
为是残忍和野蛮的(cruel and barbaric),也是不仁道的(inhumane),动物可能在做试验时死
在实验室中(animals suffer and die in laboratory tests of cosmetics and household products)。
动物也有生存的权利(animal rights),应该与人类共存(coexistence)。在自然界中,应该尊
重所有生物的生存的权利(right to live),要实现万物的共存(live and let live)。因此,在科
学发达的今天,人类应该尽量寻求一些可替代的方式(alternative methods)来进行实验,如
电脑模拟(computer model)。
◎ 动物与动物园 Arguments for zoos
很多濒危的动物(endangered animals) 面临着灭绝的境地(extinguished/ extinct),可是人们
还是进行非法打猎(poaching),破坏自然栖息地(damage natural habitat),因而可能将动物
关在动物园里是一个无奈之举,那么动物园有何利弊(merit and demerit)
保护濒危物种或野生动物(preserve the endangered animals or wildlife),动物的栖息地遭到
人为地破坏(The habitats of some animals are being destroyed),因而动物面临灭绝的危险
(they are in danger of dying out),在动物园中能够提供专业的看管(professional care and
treatment)。同时动物园也是进行科学研究和物种繁殖的场所(a scientific research center

and a place for the breeding);动物园也起着一定的教育功能(play an educational role.),丰


富参观者的知识(enrich our knowledge and widen our horizon)。此外,动物园也是人们娱
乐和放松的场所(a place of entertainment).
◎ 动物与人(朋友?宠物?衣物和食物的来源?)
动物是人类的朋友(good friends of mankind),是生态系统中不可缺少的一部分(an
indispensable part in nature),维护生态平衡(preserve the subtle ecological equilibrium);动
物是人类的伙伴(companion),同时动物有助于培养孩子们对大自然的热爱(nurture the
love for nature),培养孩子的爱心(love and care)、责任心(sense of responsibility)和独立精

Conservation of Endangered Species:
Pros: The zoos claim that, conservation of endangered species of
animals is their prime objective. It is also argued that in today's

of the problems faced by zoo animals; however they also expect people
to appreciate the sincere efforts they take to protect and preserve the
wildlife.
Role of Zoos in Education
上面的几句话是支持动物园的观点,下面看看反方观点:
(反对观点)Cons: People do not visit zoos for educational
purposes. It is just a means of entertainment for them. Moreover, if the

being an ideal place for animals may take root in their minds.

people think animal testing is necessary, others are upset by what they see as needless suffering.
This essay looks at some of the positive and negative aspects of animal testing.

Many medical treatments and procedures have been developed from experiments on animals.
Since animals share many features with humans, scientists use animals to test the safety and
effectiveness of newly developed drugs before pilot testing on small groups of patients. Medical
teams practice new operating techniques such as transplants on animals. Without animal testing,
many procedures or new drugs would be extremely unsafe.

However, many people are concerned that animals are suffering unnecessarily and cruelly. They
do not believe that every new drug needs to be tested on animals, especially with the huge
database of knowlealso are worried that many animal tests are ineffective, pointing out that any
drugs have had to be withdrawn from the market despite extensive testing. They particularly feel
that animal testing should not be used for non-essential products such as cosmetics, shampoos,
soaps, and cleaning products. Furthermore, some campaigners would like to see certain tests
replaced and more humane methods used.

We need to make sure that the millions of animals who are used for testing new products are
treated with the minimum of suffering. Although some animal testing may be unavoidable at
present, treating our fellow creatures as mercifully as possible will demonstrate our humanity.
