18、anization, grammar and appropriacy. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks. Write your essay on ANSWER SHEET FOUR. 4.窗子许里面人看出去，同时也许外面人看进来，所以在热闹地方住的人要用窗帘子，替他们私生活做个保障。晚上访人，只要看窗里有无灯光，就约略可以猜到主人在不在家，不必打开了门再问，好比不等人开口，从眼睛里看出他的心思。关窗的作用等于闭眼。天地间有许多景象是要闭了眼才看得见的，比如梦。假使窗外的人声物态太嘈杂了
19、，关了窗好让灵魂自由地去探胜，安静地默想。 5.当你步入婚姻的殿堂，你可能认为已经爬到了山顶，剩下的只是悠闲地沿着平缓的山坡下山。然而，这只是恋爱的结束，婚姻的开始。坠入爱河与赢得爱情都是难事，但维持爱情也很重要，夫妻都应相敬如宾，互相关爱。当真爱起始于圣坛之时，夫妻之间便开始了一场智慧与慷慨的竞争，一场为了一个不可能实现的理想而持续一生的奋斗。不可能实现啊，当然不可能，因为他们不是一个人，而是两个呀。 6.然而我虽然自有无端的悲哀，却也并不愤懑。因为这经验使我反省，看见自己了：就是我决不是一个振臂一呼应者云集的英雄。 只是我自己的寂寞是不可不驱除的，因为这于我太痛苦。我于是用了种种法，来麻醉
20、自己的灵魂，使我沉入于国民中，使我回到古代去，后来也亲历或旁观过几样更寂寞更悲哀的事，都为我所不愿追怀，甘心使他们和我的脑一同消灭在泥土里的，但我的麻醉法却也似乎已经奏了功，再没有青年时候的慷慨激昂的意思了。 7.燕子去了，有再来的时候；杨柳枯了，有再青的时候；桃花谢了，有再开的时候。但是，聪明的，你告诉我，我们的日子为什么一去不复返呢是有人偷了他们罢：那是谁又藏在何处呢是他们自己逃走了罢：现在又到了哪里呢 我不知道他们给了我多少日子；但我的手确乎是渐渐空虚了。在默默里算着，八千多日子已经从我手中溜去：像针尖上一滴水滴在大海里，我的日子滴在时间的流里，没有声音，也没有影子。我不禁头涔涔而泪潸潸
21、了。 8.真正的朋友，恐怕要算“总角之交”或“竹马之交”了。在小学和中学的时代容易结成真实的友谊。那时彼此尚不感到生活的压迫，入世未深，打算计较的念头也少，朋友的结成全由于志趣相近或性情适合，差不多可以说是“无所为”的，性质比较纯粹。二十岁以后结成的友谊，大概已不免掺有各种各样的颜色分子在内：人到了成年以后，彼此都有生活的重担须负，入世既深，顾忌的方面也自然加多起来，在交际上不许你不计较，不许你不打算，结果彼此都“勾心斗角”。 9.For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic To C
22、urb Spending. You should write at least 150 words according to the outline given below in Chinese.1现在许多大学生普遍花钱大手大脚，消费水平高2有人认为社会整体生活水平提高了，大学生花钱多一些无可厚非3你的看法 10.Water Problems Wheres the water Water. If youve got it, you probably take it for granted. But a quick look at the globe and a chat with the ti
23、ny group of researchers who are worrying about fresh water both indicate that water shortages are very serious. And they arent necessarily in the future, either. Heres what weve read in the past week or so. . Mexico City (home to 20 million people) is sinking because the city sucks out underground w
24、ater faster than the aquifer can be refilled. . Florida wants to refill its overpumped aquifer (蓄水层) with untreated surface water, despite federal regulations to the contrary. . Texas is moving toward private, for-profit water sales. The water will be mined from aquifers that are disappearing fast.
25、No word on what the private suppliers, including corporate raider T. Boone Pickens, will do once the aquifers run dry. . Aquifers around the world are being overtapped for irrigated agriculture, which fills about 40 percent of the global larder. . The Bush Administration has withdrawn a proposed tig
26、htening of the arsenic standard for drinking water. Critics say the old rule, dating to 1942, could allow thousands of cases of cancer and other diseases. Meanwhile, in Bangladesh, whats been called the largest poisoning of a population in history has 35 to 77 million people drinking arsenic-laced w
27、ater. . A showdown is looming over the Tigris (底格里斯河) and Euphrates Rivers (幼发拉底河), which originate in Turkey, then water both Syria and Iraq. If Turkey goes ahead with a series of dams, the downriver nations could starve. You dont miss your water, an old blues sage wisely said, until your well runs
28、 dry. Down here on planet Earth, the well is starting to run dry. We ve seen projections that three billion people half of todays population will be short of water in 2025.Places short of water Seen from a global water map, water is shortest in equatorial countries, often where populations are risin
29、g. Here are some examples of countries facing water shortage problem. China, with 1.26 billion people, is the one area worrying most people most of the time, says Marq de Villiers, author of the recently published Water . In dry Northern China, he says, the water table is dropping one meter per year
30、 due to overpumping, and the Chinese admit that 300 cities are running short. They are diverting water from agriculture and farmers are going out of business. Some Chinese rivers are so polluted with heavy metals that they cant be used for irrigation, he adds. They re disgraceful, unusable, industri
31、al sewers, says de Villiers. As farmers go out of business, China will have to import more food. In India, home to 1.002 billion people, key aquifers are being overpumped, and the soil is growing saltier through contamination with irrigation water. Irrigation was a key to increasing food production
32、in India during the green revolution, and as the population surges toward a projected 1.363 billion in 2025, its crops will continue to depend on clean water and clean soil. Israel (population 6.2 million), invented many water-conserving technologies, but water withdrawals still exceed resupply. Ove
33、rpumping of aquifers along the coast is allowing seawater to pollute drinking water. Like neighboring Jordan, Israel is largely dependent on the Jordan River for fresh water.Water Fight Egypt, whose population of 68 million may reach 97 million by 2025, gets essentially no rainfall. All agriculture
34、is irrigated by seasonal floods from the Nile River, and from water stored behind the Aswan High Dam. Any interference with water flow by Sudan or Ethiopia could starve Egypt. The Nile is one I worry about, says Sandra Postel, director of the Global Water Policy Project. Egypt, she says, is militari
35、ly powerful but vulnerable. The hydropolitics might favor some military action, because Egypt is so heavily dependent on the Nile, its already virtually tapping out the supply, and Ethiopia is now getting interested in developing the headwaters. When a World Bank official suggested several years ago
36、 that water wars are not far off, he might have had Egypt on his mind or Turkey, Syria and Iraq, another trio of Middle-Eastern states that are locked in an uncomfortable embrace over water. The Tigris and Euphrates Rivers both rise in Turkey and flow unimpeded to Syria and Iraq, where they provide
37、the bulk of irrigation water needed in the arid climate. Turkey has proposed a series of dams that would reduce river flow. That causes alarm downstream.Cooperation on water Despite the potential for fights over water, shortages can increase cooperation as well as friction. Jordan and Israel closely
38、 cooperate on the preservation of the Jordan River. Author de Villiers says water shortages, rather than exacerbating tensions in the Middle East, have brought them together although we wouldnt overstate the degree of cooperation. 11.现在许多家长“望子成龙”心切；2此种想法对子女成长的影响：3家长对子女应采取何种态度 Are Families Demanding
