1. Do you prefer to read news on the Internet or form newspapers?
网络在我们的社会生活中发挥了越来越重要的作用。人们获取新闻的一个重要渠道即通过网络。然而大家是喜欢读报纸还是浏览网页来获取新闻的呢？不同的人有不同的答案。这虽然是一个以Do开头的一般疑问句，但出题者的意图是让考生比较Internet和newspaper两者的优缺点。关键在于prefer，考生需要回答自己到底喜欢读报还是浏览网页，并说明为什么。

Candidate 1: As we all know, it is important to know the current(当今的) world, but now can we get the latest news?

I thing it depends on one's living conditions. As to me, I prefer to read the news from newspapers. To be a student, it is difficult to own a computer and the time to surf the Internet(上网) is also limited. But newspapers can be attained(取得) everywhere like the supermarket, street corner, bus stop and so on. Though newspapers are not as detailed as the Internet, I think they are enough for our students. And newspapers can meet different people's needs. It's quite true that we could get a lot of knowledge and news from newspapers. Let's make friends with them and hold the latest news of the world.

Candidate 1的回答短小而精悍，短短几句就概括了自己选择读报纸的原因。大多数学生买不起电脑，因此上网的时间收到局限，而报纸比较便捷，不仅随时随地地能买到，而且随时随地地能阅读。因此报纸虽然不像网络那样有丰富详尽的信息，但是对学生来讲已经足够。回答从学自身的角度，以理服人。

Candidate 2: Nowadays, we can get all kinds of news from the Internet. I have to admit that it's the most convenient way to know the world.

On the one hand, everything in this world changes in nearly every minute, and the events are always put onto the Internet immediately(立即) after they occurred(发生). And then, we know them. Besides, we can search the Internet for other information about the news. If you read the paper, I'm afraid that you can't do it. However, you may say, sitting in front of the computer for such a long time will do harm to your health, and it's a waste of time. But I think we can take some measures to protect our health.

On the other hand, you can download(下载) the valuable information into your computer while they will take up lots of space of your room if you keep the papers.

In a word, everything has its two sides, and we can't pay more attention to just one side. As to this question, I will choose the Internet.

Candidate 2看来是平时上网比较多，所作的回答其实是陈述网络的作用和优点。一方面网络具有及时性的特点，比报纸要快一步。人们通过网络还可以搜索其他相关信息，而报纸提供的信息比较局限；另一方面，我们可以从网络下载信息存储到电脑上，而存储报纸会占用很大的空间。Candidate 2一分为二，承认网络有自己的不足之处，比如长时间上网对健康不利，但他指出人们可以采取相应措施加以防范，体现了其比较严谨的思路。

Candidate 3: I prefer to read news from newspapers. Obviously, if I want to read news from the Internet, there should be a computer available(可利用的，可得到的). But actually I don't have.

So as for me, I read newspapers most. And I think there are more disadvantages reading news from the Internet than those from newspapers.

Firstly, the reliability(可依赖性) and the value of the news in the Internet are lower in level than those from newspapers. Secondly, too many entertainments in the Internet make the news lose its original truth. Thirdly, looking through news in the internet for a long time will cause great damage to people's health. At last, I want to say "read more newspaper please". That's not only a way to get news, but also a tradition. News in the Internet may be more colorful than those from newspapers, but it's just a way to kill time, I think. So if you want to get more valuable information, please read newspaper.

Candidate 3开门见山，指出自己喜欢读报。然后分四个方面论述。第一，网络的真实性和可依赖性要远远低于报纸。第二，网络比较花哨，信息丧失了真实性。第三，长时间上网对健康不利。最后，呼吁读报是我们社会的一大传统，不该抛弃。
