第二节 书面表达（满分25分） One possible versionNow, more and more parents care much about their children’s college entrance examination. Some of them even abandon their jobs to stay with their children. This phenomenon is really controversial. Some people support the practice. In such a situation, not only is their food healthier, more delicious and more nutritious but their clothes are also cleaner and neater. So they are more confident. However, others object. The parents have no jobs and cannot make money. Because they expect too much of their children, what they are doing actually adds to the students’ psychological burden and stress. To my understanding, the practice shouldn’t be advocated. We students should learn to take care of ourselves. As we know, we will be independent of our parents one day. Moreover, our parents should have their own work and life. 听力原文 Text 1 W: I’m going to the post office. Since you’re going to the train station next to it, do you need a lift? M: Yes, thank you. But I’d like to buy some drinks at the store first. Text 2 W: Could you slow down and repeat today’s homework for us, Dr White? M: Surely. Preview the next unit and prepare for a classroom discussion. Text 7 M: Look! CD players are much cheaper here than those at home. W: Well, if you take the exchange rate into consideration, they’re only a little cheaper. M: Ah, yeah. You’re right. We don’t need to buy one here, then. W: Oh, smell this. M: That’s really nice. Cathy will like the perfume. W: I’ll buy one bottle for her. The bottle is pretty, too. M: Oh, look! The hat over there is really cheap. I’ll buy one. W: You’d better pick a black one. Neither the red ones nor the white ones suit you. Text 8 W: Dr. Taylor, I find it hard to get to sleep. What’s the best way to solve the problem? Taking sleeping pills? M: Oh, no. The best way is to try to make your mind blank. To achieve this, you can first think of white clouds or green trees. And gradually, you will forget them and get sleepy. W: That sounds a little hard. M: You can also try reading. It works for many people. W: I wonder how many dreams a person has in one night. M: On average, everyone has four per night, but some may have as many as seven. But many people can’t remember them. That’s why they think they don’t dream at all W: Is it true that eating before bedtime can give you bad dreams? M: Well, there’s no evidence of this. A big meal may stop you falling asleep at first, though. But a hot drink won’t do any harm. Text 10 Here’s what makes a world record: 5,500 pounds of sugar, 2,000 pounds of milk powder, 1,700 pounds of cocoa butter and 1,400 pounds of chocolate, etc. The company World’s Finest Chocolate put them all together and what they made was a record for the world’s largest chocolate bar. It weighs more than 12,000 pounds, measures 21 feet long and is almost three feet high. The company, based in Chicago, has over 60 years of experience in making chocolate. It is well-known for selling chocolate fundraising products. This time, it plans to take the world’s largest chocolate bar on tour to schools nationally for a project. The aim is to help educate families on proper diets, using the chocolate bar as a example. CEO of World’s Finest Chocolate said, “We’re committed toeducating families on eating right and staying active and doing it in a fun and enjoyable way.” Their effort is appreciated by many people. Mrs Nelda, an expert, commented, “When you’re trying to teach children about things like how to have a healthy relationship with food, having something that really makes them sit up and take notice helps make the message memorable.” The chocolate bar easily topped the previous record set by a company a year ago. Their chocolate bar weighed 9,722 pounds. ： ：。
