1. What's your idea of the medical experiment conducted on animals?
對于自然保護主義者而言,動物生命和人類生命都應當得到尊重和保護,但如果沒有動物實驗,人類就不免要大大增加醫學研究的代價。因此這個問題不是是與非的問題,而是程度問題,考生能夠結合現實做出客觀的判斷即可。
Candidate 1: Basically, I am against doing medical experiments on animals. First, I'm an animal
protector who loves animals very much. Then I think both human beings and other creatures are the children of our earth, so we are equal and no one can govern the other. We should live in harmony with each other. However, on second thoughts, I think doing medical experiments can also bring benefits to people especially in medical fields. We can develop new methods or pills to save more people's lives by making use of the results of the experiments on animals should be permitted. All in all, the principle is that both man and animals can live better on the earth.
Candidate 2: Maybe a great many people will object to these experiments, but I'd like and have to say "yes" to them. Performing experiments on animals, yes, is inhumane(不人道的,殘忍的). Animals and mankind have equal rights. Whereas, nothing but these experiments has brought our great progress in medicine, and nothing but these advances has saved thousands of lives. Experiments are inevitable, necessary and significant to both men and animals. I don't mean that people have rights to experiment on animals, and experimenting on animals doesn't mean making them die. Experimenting isn't fro the sake of experiment but for more lives and for not experimenting one day. They are valuable. Thanks to the advanced medical technology, we can
save more lives. As long as we adopt proper methods to conduct experiment and take good care of test animals, we can reduce the losses to the minimum. Finally, I believe someday we'll not do experiment any more.
動物實驗是一個頗具爭議的話題,許多人對動物實現持反對態度,而其他一些人卻對此表示認同。三位答題者從不同角度闡明了自己的觀點,用語流暢,觀點清晰。
2. Should animals live in the wild or in the zoos? How can visitors be close to and enjoy real animals?
眾所周知,動物離開了自然環境就喪失生存的本能,從此意義上而言,自然環境似乎更適合動物。讓游客親近動物,既要注意安全,又要玩得開心,辦法很多,回答得獨具匠心更能引起考官的注意。
Candidate 1: I believe all living things are created equally. That is, I except that people should visit animals in the wild, and maybe children or adults may learn to communicate with truly wild animals in the proper way animals may like. And I really hope we can treat animals equally. Maybe we can learn the language that animals use, hopefully.
Candidate 2: In my view, the right place for animal is in the wild, not in the zoos. Animals look forward to friends, freedom, and space just like man. Maybe it's dangerous for animals to live in the wild, but the natural surroundings can improve their abilities. They will become more independent. Although conditions perfect in zoos where animals needn't search for food, they will gradually lose a lot as they rely on people to feed them. In some cases, animals are trained to learn some acts to amuse people, as a result, more and more animals in zoos become unhealthy. Some of them suffer from depression; some eat lots of junk food. I agree with Darwin's theory about natural selection and survival of the fittest(物競天擇,適者生存). So animals should live in the wild which fits them most. In some parts of Africa, visitors are allowed to drive cars around
the forest to stay close to the wild, which I think is a good way to enjoy real animals.
Candidate 1富有想象力,提出學習動物語言的看法,很可愛;Candidate 2從動物的進化論的角度,從反面舉例闡述自己反對圈養動物的做法,指出圈養會使動物喪失生存能力,并以達爾文的進化論為自己的觀點找出理論依據,最后提出以野生保護區實現動物和人類和諧共處的想法,整體行文流暢,用詞準確。
