27. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? People should sometimes do things that they do not enjoy doing. Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
参考分析：
这个statement里面的限定词是sometimes。应该同意这个观点。[63]可以作为[27]的理由之一，因为，Most experiences in our lives that seemed difficult at the time become valuable lessons for the future。这道题甚至可以作为[43]的答案。Most successful people have one thing in common: they are capable of doing things that they virtually do not enjoy doing.
27、同意人们有时候要做自己不喜欢作的事情
(1)谋生的需要，很多农民到城市来打工，自己不喜欢，但是必须这样做
(2)个人发展的需要，比如说学习数学，物理等等，虽然不喜欢，但是这和未来个人发展很有帮助
(3)在紧急时刻，必须要做自己不喜欢作的事情，比如说好友得了癌症，自己不能告诉他
28. Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Television, newspapers, magazines, and other media pay too much attention to the personal lives of famous people such as public figures and celebrities. Use specific reasons and details to explain your opinion.
参考分析：
不能同意这个观点——因为这样的说法过于片面。
•有些媒体(大众传媒mass media)表现得过于关注名人。但是真正的起因(the real cause)却是大众(the public; the broad masses of the people)本身——大众过于关注名人以及名人的私生活。媒体不过是在迎合大众(cater to the needs of customers; 过去几年里, 电视一直迎合大众的口味。 In the past several years, television has been playing to the gallery.)，因为媒体也是商业机构(commercial organization)，也要盈利(profit-driving)。
•不是所有媒体都在一味迎合大众，也不是所有的television program, newspaper column都在关注名人。
28、同意电视等媒体过分注重公众人物的报道
(1)媒体为了满足大众的好奇心(SATISFY THE CURIOSITY)，所以过分注重公众人物的报道。比如说，名人的食品和生活方式等等。
(2)媒体为了赚钱的需要，集中在公共人物的报道。
(3)媒体为了监督公众人物。所以经常报道他们的私生活。
29. Some people believe that the Earth is being harmed (damaged) by human activity. Others feel that human activity makes the Earth a better place to live. What is your opinion? Use specific reasons and examples to support your answer.
参考分析：
不要急于选择。两种观点都过于含混。Human activity指的是什么?
•饮食起居：广东人把某种海豚(dolphin)吃得almost extinct;美国人养宠物鹦鹉(parrot)，导致南美洲很多稀有品种(rare species)濒临灭绝。
•科学研究：好的例子很多，比如电的发明。不好的也很多，克隆(clone)技术、基因重组(gene engineering)技术，可能导致道德(moral value)的沦丧(deteriorated; ruined); 诺贝尔的发明(炸药explosive)究竟杀了多少人?塑料袋(plastic bags)的发明，导致了多少white pollution?
•战争：从来都是灾难。生化武器，比如炭疽病毒(anthrax)
结论：人类的行为对地球的影响，有好的，也有坏的。很难说哪一种更多。

29、不同意人们的活动将世界变成了一个更好的地方
(1)地球的自然资源消失的很快
(2)环境污染问题
(3)人类发动战争。人口、古迹、土地都受到了损失
30. It has recently been announced that a new high school may be built in your community. Do you support or oppose this plan? Why? Use specific reasons and details in your answer.
参考分析：
•教育是百年大计(a fundamental task crucial for generations to come)，当然要同意。
•社区的孩子就近上学很方便，减少了路上可能发生交通事故的可能性;
•可以提高社区文化氛围(将有更多的书店，音像店);
•进而促进社区经济繁荣;提高就业率等等。
•尽管社区可能变得嘈杂一些，但是总体上还是应该支持的。
