I like musical best. First of all, I love music very much, and musical is a distinctive and amazing way to express music. Secondly, they use songs, dances, fabulous sets and costumes to make the words to life. What's more, they are not only singing but also telling a touching story. All of these factors make me love it so much. When I watching a musical, I feel myself is in the story and is singing with them. In addition, the origins of the musicals are attracting me a lot too. I dream to pay visits to the Broadway in the US or the West End in London. And I want to find how the musical evolved from there. All in all, musical is really fascinating.

2. Choose one of the following work of art and explain why you like it most: comedy, stage play, and musical play. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer. ★ [2006.11.3]

I like watching cosmic dramas for the following aspects. First of all, after watch cosmic dramas we can get up feeling full of energy and confident to manage the work of the rest day. It gives us a break from the tedious and hard work, the strict and shouting boss, and peer pressure from our coworker. For example, While watching comedies, you don't have agonize yourself to guess the deep meaning of the movie or point out the trick from the complicated plot. All you have to do is to lean back and enjoy the shows, you may get nothing but joy after the movie.

3. Describe your favorite song/music. Explain why you like it. Include reasons and examples to support your

response My favorite music is pop music /I am more interested in pop music than classical music.On the one hand, it is easy to understand and close to our lives. That's why so many people love it. Meanwhile, by listening to pop music, I can keep up with the time. On the other hand, although classical music has so much more depth and meaning, I haven't got the appetite to enjoy yet. Theoretically speaking, pop music is roughly divided into two types: music which stimulates people and music which calms us. It seems that music which stimulates us gives rise to actual changes in our bodies. So if I am tired or drowsy during my work hour I will choose the stimulating music, because if we listen to it, our hearts beat faster , our blood pressure rises, and our blood flows more quickly. On the other hand, I'll listen to calming music. In this way, my heart beats more gently, my pressure drops, and I feel calm. The sooth flowing melodies help me relax.

I really enjoy listening to music and pop music or pop song is my favorite. One reason is that most lyrics of the pop music are about every-day life, so they are quite comfortable, relaxing and easy to remember. Another reason is that being quite a good singer myself, I really love to sing pop songs, and my favorite singers and bands include Backstreet boys, Westlife, M2M and Ace of Base. Finally, to me, pop music is far more than the music itself. It gave me a lot of inspirations and ideas which helped me to do a better job in many other things. For examples, I once cited a few lines from “the day you went away” by M2M in one of my essays, and my teacher said it was very touching.

4. ■35 Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Attending a live performance (for example, a play, concert, or sporting event) is more enjoyable than watching the same event on television. Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.

参考分析：

同意或者不同意都是片面的。讨论现场的好处(比如气氛好air of excitement;投入感强 getting involved)和电视转播(television live show)的好处(比如，有解说commentary/commentator;多镜头various angle of view; 镜头组接 montage)，至于选择，要视情况而定。

如果是中国甲A足球赛，才不去现场呢!生气。可是如果是有机会去看欧洲杯的话，不知道要比看电视过瘾(to one's heart's content)多少倍!

如果是F4的演唱会，是绝对不能去的，电视也不看!可是如果是rolling rock的演唱会，就一定要去了——可惜，因为SARS取消了。

35、参加现场表演比在家看电视好

(2)参加现场的表演能够感受到现场的气氛

(3)现场的表演经常还有抽奖活动等等，有时候有意想不到的收获

5. ■94 Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Dancing plays an important role in a culture.

Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.

参考分析：

这个题目乍看起来很不好写。同意这个观点(Dancing is really important in every culture.)。可以采取it depends的策略。舞蹈的娱乐作用(as a important mean of entertainments)也是important role in a culture，所以种文化中都有其独特的舞蹈形式(dancing form)。

原始社会(primitive society)时，舞蹈是非常重要的。庆祝(celebration; festival)，祈祷(pray)，宗教仪式(ritual)等等活动中，舞蹈都是最主要的组成部分(one of the most important components)。

随着社会的发展，宗教仪式(ritual)演变成了歌剧(opera)，舞蹈仍然是很重要的娱乐手段。

时间进入21世纪，各种娱乐手段开始丰富起来，舞蹈尽管已经不是主流的(main)娱乐方式，但是仍然非常重要。今年的奥斯卡(Oscar)得主就是一个歌舞剧(song and dance drama)——芝加哥(Chicago). 94、同意跳舞在文化中扮演了重要角色。以拉丁舞为例子

(1)跳舞提供了一个非常重要的娱乐方式。人们下班之后，喜欢去跳DISCO，放松自己，缓解压力。

(2)跳舞促进爱和感情(SENTIMENT)。比如说在家里和自己的爱人跳舞，让人赶到特别ROMANTIC和BEAUTIFUL (3)跳舞同样是一种非常宝贵的艺术，是民族文化的象征是。世界上很多人都在学习拉丁舞。实际上西班牙和南美洲的国家更好的宣传了自己的文化(OPTIMISTIC，HAPPY AND ROMANTIC)

6. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? High schools should teach music and art as other basic science. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer. ★ [2006.12.2/2006.12.15]

7. ■124 Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? It is more important for students to study

history and literature than it is for them to study science and mathematics. Use specific reasons and examples to support your opinion.

参考分析： 不能同意。

这是个没有答案的比较 (it is a meaningless comparison; it is a comparison without definite answer)。学习历史文学确实很重要，但是说比学习科学数学更重要就没有什么道理了。 对不同的人，有不同的重要标准。

建立自己的立场：所有的人都应该具备最基础的知识。

124、不同意读文学和历史要比科学和数学重要

(1)科学和数学是每天都要用的，非常重要。比如说计算自己的生活费等等 (2)科学和数学是工作中的必须。比如说工作中的计算机知识等等 (3)科学和数学给人另外一种思维方式，这对于未来发展很有利
