　　Whether the three methods to stop snakeheads from spreading is feasible.

　　Reading ：

　　The reading raises three methods to stop the spread of snakehead fish because it threatens the ecosystem.

　　1. Making laws to prevent people from transporting snakehead fish. Some people in the fish market will illegally transport or release unsold snakehead fish.

　　2. Educating fishers to catch snakehead. If they recognize that people actually can eat snakehead as a food source, they will catch many to eat and to sell.

　　3. Researching some poison to kill the snakehead. Though poison will also kill native fishes in the river, people can restock native fishes.

　　Listening:

　　The listening contradicts all methods proposed by the author of the passage and points out their potential problems.

　　1. Even if people do not transport the snakehead, the spread will still continue. The reason is that there are already many snakeheads, and these snakeheads will move to other rivers even without human's efforts, because they can live and move on land as ong as they are moist.

　　2. Educating fishers to catch snakehead will not help stop the spread of snakehead.

　　Conversely, it may lead to the increase of snakehead. Because when fishers realize they can make profit by catching snakehead, they will introduce snakehead to other water bodies and raise snakehead in order to catch more snakehead, even this is illegal.

　　3. It is true that native fishes can be restocked; however, poison will also kill some insects and micro organisms, which cannot be restocked. So, native fishes that feed on hese insects and micro organisms cannot grow to their original size. This is irreversible.

　　Sample Answer:

　　The reading passage and lecture both talk about how to stop the spread of snakeheadsand the professor contradicts all those method mentioned in the passage respectively.

　　The first solution is to make laws to prevent people from transporting snakehead fish,according to the passage. However the professor gives opposite viewpoint that even ifpeople do not transport the snakeheads, the spread will still continue, because there arealready many snakeheads and they will move to other rivers by moving on land as longas they are moist. In other words, whether people transport them or not, they will stillestablish their population.

　　Secondly, the professor fights against to teach fishers to catch snakeheads. Actually,when fishers realized that they can make profit by this way, they will introducesnakehead to other water bodies and raise them in order to catch more, which mayconversely lead to the increase of snakehead.

　　As to the virus, professor also shows his strong disapproval. Even though the nativefishes can be restocked, the poison will kill some insects and micro organisms, whichcannot be restocked. Then there comes to an irreversible consequence that the nativefishes, which feed on these insects and micro organisms, cannot grow to their originalsize.(207 words)

　　獨(dú)立

　　As a student of university that has a long break between university semesters, the university requires all students to do one of the following for one month during the break:

　　1、Students must take a course on the subject that has no direct connection to their majors of study ( For example, a student majoring in engineering may take course in fine arts or social science.)

　　2、Students must volunteer to work in the university ’ s city or their hometowns to improve some aspects of life of the city or their own town.( For example, students may help local primary school children with their homework.)

　　Which one do you think is more beneficial for students in their university? Why?

　　Given detailed examples and reasons. Use your OWN words, do NOT use memorized examples.

　　Sample Answer:

　　There is large quantity of students who spend their spare time to do volunteer workmainly as a consequence of the requirement of credit or some working experience. Still,that totally makes no sense. Even though I am not a university students now, given thechoice, I would choose to learn some knowledge that different from my own major.

　　Wide range of social circle is the first benefit when they learn various subjects. All whatwe do in the society like starting a business and fulfill the ambition in career depend onabundant social resources. The social circle, which provides the greatest help inpromoting our work and life, needs to be set up when we are in the university. Variousclasses are exactly the way that create chances for us to meet friends in various fields.On the contrary, if restricted in own world, we get along with small range of friends whoshare the same skills and knowledge. When we meet some trouble in future career, it?smerely impossible to cooperate with them. For the sake of future development, makingfriends through this way is a great opportunity to expand our pool of companions.

　　Aside from making friends who are separate from our core social circle, anotheradvantage is that what we learn in other fields may have great contributions to ouroriginal major. There is no such subject that can establish without any other field. I am asociological students, who were asked to learn some statistics that seems irrelevant butactually, help me a lot when I do some social researches. I might not finish my thesisbefore graduation if the professor had not ask us to take statistics courses. I really don?tsee anything wrong with the students taking the courses that have no connection withtheir major whether they are truly interested in it or just for the sake of annual paper orexaminations.

　　Two years ago, I interviewed some of those students why they took volunteer work inholidays, I found the leading reason was that they wanted to accumulate workingexperiences. It sounds reasonable but actually, most students apply for the job that is far away from what they did voluntarily before. According to a recent survey conducted bymy professor, who is a specialist in research of employment, no more than 7% involvedstudents choose their final job as what their social practice did and most of them havetotally different ideas from their original thoughts when they were in campus. Since theworking experience from volunteer has no business to their final career, what is therationale behind this choice?

　　There is nothing wrong with doing volunteer work in holiday. For the best futuredevelopment, though, learning different knowledge and skills is the better way to enrichour life. (469 words)
