　　防止海龟减少的办法是否有用

　　阅读：有3 种办法防止海龟减少

　　1 建立金属围栏，防止海龟蛋被素食者吃掉

　　2 禁用塑料袋，海龟吃了塑料袋，消化道会被堵塞

　　3 把传统渔网改成只能捕鱼而不会限制海龟的，海龟被渔网捉住，会溺水

　　听力：上述办法都不行

　　1. 金属围栏会阻碍小海龟的磁场发育，海龟靠磁场导航，找食物，找配偶，找地方产卵。没有发育好的磁场，海龟根本无法生存，繁衍。

　　2. 限制塑料袋或许有用。问题是，现在海里已经有成千上万的塑料袋了，即使分解成了小片，一样会危害海龟。所以限塑解决不了燃眉之急。

　　3. 改进的渔网，渔民会拒绝使用，因为网到的鱼会减少，收入会减少。即使有法律规定必须使用，渔民也会趁没人使用传统渔网，回到岸上再换成改进渔网。

　　Sample Answer:

　　When it comes to the decrease of sea t urtle?s population, the reading puts forward three solutions to prevent this tendency. However, all these three solutions are regarded as invalid in the listening.

　　First, the idea that building a metal fence will work. Not as it puts in the reading, thelistening argues that the mental fence will hinder the development of magnetic fieldwhich exerts influence on the growth of the little sea turtles. The listening furtherillustrates that sea turtles rely on magnetic field to navigate, find food and mates as wellas find a suitable place to lay eggs. Without a fully developed magnetic field, they cannotlive and reproduce.

　　As to the second measure of a ban of the plastic bags, the listening still refutes it. As amatter of fact, there are already thousands of plastic bags in the sea, which, althoughdecomposing into small pieces, still pose great threat to sea turtles. Therefore, the banof plastic bags is not the point.Lastly, the reading calls on to transform the traditional fishing nets into those catchingonly fish but not sea turtles. Unfortunately, the third solution is not able to work well.The listening explains that the fishermen will refuse to use the transformed fishing nets for they will catch fewer fish and thus get a decreased income. Even though relevantlaws are enacted, the fishermen will apply the traditional fishing nets before replacingthem with the transformed fishing nets on shore. ( 247 words )

　　You are helping to select a leader for a student organization or a group. Do you think aperson's honest is the most important characteristic for being a leader?

　　Sample Answer:

　　Regardless of the increasingly complicated relationships among modern people, honestyis still regarded as the most cherished characteristic when it comes to evaluating othersaround us. Therefore, it is not beyond our expectation that someone gives priority tohonesty when selecting a leader for a student organization. According to my preferenceand experience, there are other two factors that are more worth noticing.

　　To begin with, the ability to plan and organize is the most essential characteristic for astudent leader for the sake of a smooth progress of the student affairs. In other words,competent leaders are those with detailed plans and clear goals in their mind. Otherwise,the whole group will easily get lost on the way and lose the impetus to strive for theircommon goals. By making a detailed plan and carrying it out step by step, a groupleader is not only capable of pushing forward and complete the preset projects but alsoable to keep the team members away from distrust and anxiety. For example, if a leaderof English Association is going to conduct an English speaking contest, he is required tofigure out the concrete process of a speaking contest, the cost related to the appliedfacilities as well as the assignment for each individual in the group.

　　Besides, whether the candidate for the student leader masters the art of communicationis also worth noticing. It is no denying that the leader of a student organization isexposed to various chances to interact with group members encompassing students ofdistinct personality traits. Therefore ， it is of paramount importance for the leader to bepossessed with the ability to relate well with others. More importantly, only by wellcoordinating the relations among the team members can the student leader be capableof ensuring the smooth progress of the organization. To illustrate, if conflicts ariseamong team members during the process of crucial projects, the leader has theobligation to properly settle the disagreement by skillfully calming them down withmaybe witty words and then take measures to cope with the problems.

　　Admittedly, it is indisputable that honesty should not be neglected in terms of choosing aleader. After all, honesty has a lot to do with obtaining trust and creating a harmoniousatmosphere among the whole group. It is natural that people usually rely on an honestperson without reservation. Nevertheless, it is still not wise enough to regard it as themost crucial factor in terms of choosing a leader for student organizations for honestydoes not testify to one?s ability and competence in dealing with group projects.

　　To sum up, taking the ability of planning and organizing as well as communication skillsinto consideration, it is too rash to put honesty first when choosing a leader for studentorganizations. (469words)
