【范文】
On Disasters
An old saying goes: Life is full of roses and thorns. As we all know, one’s life is full of unexpected events, some of which are wonderful and some of which are disastrous. Those heavy blows, such as, floods, snowstorms, and earthquakes, threaten to weigh one down.
However, it’s even worse if one can’t drag himself out of the grief in that mental break-down is more serious than the disaster itself. Instead of indulging oneself in sadness, one should take positive attitude towards life and contribute to the reconstruction of his or her life and hometown.
As for me, if I am lucky enough to survive in a disaster, I will try my best to help those who are suffering by donation blood or money. If I am a victim, I will endeavor to recover from the sadness as soon as possible and be certain to be strong and supportive to the recovery work.
【译文赏析】
论灾难
俗话说：“生活总是喜忧参半。”众所周知，人的生命里充满着各 种意想不到的事，有些很美好，有些却是不幸的。洪水、雪灾以及地震 这些巨大的灾难总是让人无比沉重。
但是，如果一个人不能从悲痛里恢复过来，那么精神上的打击要远比灾难本身严重。因此在灾难面前，我们不应该沉湎于悲痛，而要积极 地面对人生，努力帮助他人重生和重建家园。
如果我在一场灾难中幸存下来，我会通过捐款或者献血，尽力去帮助其他受灾人群。要是我在灾难中受伤了，我也会尽快从伤痛中恢复，坚强起来，全力支持灾后重建工作。

预测二
For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic: Students‘ Rating of Their Teachers。You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below in Chinese.
1. 学生给老师打分已经普遍
2. 人们对其持不同态度
3. 我的看法
Students‘ Rating of Their Teachers
Nowadays, it has become as common in colleges and universities for students to grade teachers as for teachers to grade students. In some universities students‘ rating has even become the only source of information on teaching effectiveness..
This, however, has caused great controversy. Some are in favor of the rating system, They hold that since students attend the teachers‘ classes every day, they should have their opinion about their teachers‘ effectiveness. Others, on the contrary, are strongly against it. They believe that there is much more to teaching than what is shown on students‘ rating forms. Students should not be expected to judge whether the materials they use are up to date or how well the teacher knows about the subject. These judgments require professional knowledge, which is best left for the teachers‘ colleagues.
I think students‘ rating of their teachers is necessary, but it should be conducted in a way that can really shed meaningful light on teachers‘ performance. Instead of rating the teachers‘ knowledge on the subject, students should be asked to estimate what they have learned in a course, and to report on such things as a teacher‘s ability to communicate with students, his or her relationship with students, and his or her ability to arouse students‘ interest in the subject.
点评：越来越多的高校采取让学生给老师打分的形式来了解教学反馈，并以此作为促进教学质量的有效手段。对此做法，管理部门及教学双方褒贬不一，看法迥异。

1. 宿舍生活有时会出现不和谐的情况;
2. 一个和谐宿舍生活的必要性;
3. 如何创造和谐的宿舍生活。
On a Harmonious Dormitory Life
Dormitory life is an indispensable part of college life. But sometimes the harmony in the dormitory can be disturbed in one way or another.
As is known to all, a harmonious dormitory life is important to college students and benefits all the members. On one hand, we can have a good rest and put our heart into study. On the other hand, we will have a good mood and enjoy being together.
There are several ways to create and maintain a harmonious dormitory life. Firstly, you have to evaluate your life-style and try to get rid of your dirty habits, if there are any. Secondly, when an annoying situation arises, you‘ll just have to learn to tolerate each other and co-exist. Thirdly, you‘ll have to share with each other and make good friends.
In conclusion, we should try our best to build a harmonious dormitory life for the sake of good study and good life.
点评：和谐成为我们当今社会词频概率最高用词，就社会而言，倡导建立和谐社会;就家庭而言，提倡建设和谐家庭;就校园来讲，则要建立和谐校园;和谐两字似乎无所不在，大学生宿舍生活同样需要和谐。

A Letter to a Friend
Dear Zhang Wei,
I‘m glad to know that you are coming to my city during the summer vacation.
However, I‘m afraid there‘s some bad news. I‘m planning to take part in an international conference to be held in another city during the time of your visit. All the top scientists in my field will show up at the conference. More importantly, I‘m lucky enough
to have been selected to give a speech on behalf of my research team at the Conference. I really can‘t miss it.
I understand that it‘ll be your first time to this city and I‘m your only friend here. I‘ve asked my roommate to meet you at the airport, and you can stay in my room. He is a very nice person and he will show you around the city. Hope you two will get on well and have a nice holiday!
Yours,
Li Ming
点评：本预测题与2001年6月考查的A Letter to a Schoolmate 类似，所不同是写作提示有所不同，2001年6月作文题是写信对校友来度假表示欢迎并在信中提出建议和注意事项，而本预测题是对朋友来访不能接待，同时在信中说明原因及具体安排，内容不一，但话题相仿，写作思路相似。
