1. Do you prefer to read news on the Internet or form newspapers?
網(wǎng)絡(luò)在我們的社會(huì)生活中發(fā)揮了越來(lái)越重要的作用。人們獲取新聞的一個(gè)重要渠道即通過(guò)網(wǎng)絡(luò)。然而大家是喜歡讀報(bào)紙還是瀏覽網(wǎng)頁(yè)來(lái)獲取新聞的呢？不同的人有不同的答案。這雖然是一個(gè)以Do開(kāi)頭的一般疑問(wèn)句，但出題者的意圖是讓考生比較Internet和newspaper兩者的優(yōu)缺點(diǎn)。關(guān)鍵在于prefer，考生需要回答自己到底喜歡讀報(bào)還是瀏覽網(wǎng)頁(yè)，并說(shuō)明為什么。

Candidate 1: As we all know, it is important to know the current(當(dāng)今的) world, but now can we get the latest news?

I thing it depends on one's living conditions. As to me, I prefer to read the news from newspapers. To be a student, it is difficult to own a computer and the time to surf the Internet(上網(wǎng)) is also limited. But newspapers can be attained(取得) everywhere like the supermarket, street corner, bus stop and so on. Though newspapers are not as detailed as the Internet, I think they are enough for our students. And newspapers can meet different people's needs. It's quite true that we could get a lot of knowledge and news from newspapers. Let's make friends with them and hold the latest news of the world.

Candidate 1的回答短小而精悍，短短幾句就概括了自己選擇讀報(bào)紙的原因。大多數(shù)學(xué)生買不起電腦，因此上網(wǎng)的時(shí)間收到局限，而報(bào)紙比較便捷，不僅隨時(shí)隨地地能買到，而且隨時(shí)隨地地能閱讀。因此報(bào)紙雖然不像網(wǎng)絡(luò)那樣有豐富詳盡的信息，但是對(duì)學(xué)生來(lái)講已經(jīng)足夠。回答從學(xué)自身的角度，以理服人。

Candidate 2: Nowadays, we can get all kinds of news from the Internet. I have to admit that it's the most convenient way to know the world.

On the one hand, everything in this world changes in nearly every minute, and the events are always put onto the Internet immediately(立即) after they occurred(發(fā)生). And then, we know them. Besides, we can search the Internet for other information about the news. If you read the paper, I'm afraid that you can't do it. However, you may say, sitting in front of the computer for such a long time will do harm to your health, and it's a waste of time. But I think we can take some measures to protect our health.

On the other hand, you can download(下載) the valuable information into your computer while they will take up lots of space of your room if you keep the papers.

In a word, everything has its two sides, and we can't pay more attention to just one side. As to this question, I will choose the Internet.

Candidate 2看來(lái)是平時(shí)上網(wǎng)比較多，所作的回答其實(shí)是陳述網(wǎng)絡(luò)的作用和優(yōu)點(diǎn)。一方面網(wǎng)絡(luò)具有及時(shí)性的特點(diǎn)，比報(bào)紙要快一步。人們通過(guò)網(wǎng)絡(luò)還可以搜索其他相關(guān)信息，而報(bào)紙?zhí)峁┑男畔⒈容^局限；另一方面，我們可以從網(wǎng)絡(luò)下載信息存儲(chǔ)到電腦上，而存儲(chǔ)報(bào)紙會(huì)占用很大的空間。Candidate 2一分為二，承認(rèn)網(wǎng)絡(luò)有自己的不足之處，比如長(zhǎng)時(shí)間上網(wǎng)對(duì)健康不利，但他指出人們可以采取相應(yīng)措施加以防范，體現(xiàn)了其比較嚴(yán)謹(jǐn)?shù)乃悸贰?/span>

Candidate 3: I prefer to read news from newspapers. Obviously, if I want to read news from the Internet, there should be a computer available(可利用的，可得到的). But actually I don't have.

So as for me, I read newspapers most. And I think there are more disadvantages reading news from the Internet than those from newspapers.

Firstly, the reliability(可依賴性) and the value of the news in the Internet are lower in level than those from newspapers. Secondly, too many entertainments in the Internet make the news lose its original truth. Thirdly, looking through news in the internet for a long time will cause great damage to people's health. At last, I want to say "read more newspaper please". That's not only a way to get news, but also a tradition. News in the Internet may be more colorful than those from newspapers, but it's just a way to kill time, I think. So if you want to get more valuable information, please read newspaper.

Candidate 3開(kāi)門見(jiàn)山，指出自己喜歡讀報(bào)。然后分四個(gè)方面論述。第一，網(wǎng)絡(luò)的真實(shí)性和可依賴性要遠(yuǎn)遠(yuǎn)低于報(bào)紙。第二，網(wǎng)絡(luò)比較花哨，信息喪失了真實(shí)性。第三，長(zhǎng)時(shí)間上網(wǎng)對(duì)健康不利。最后，呼吁讀報(bào)是我們社會(huì)的一大傳統(tǒng)，不該拋棄。
