The global financial crisis of 2008 has contributed to a more fierce competition in job markets. Increasing numbers of college graduates are finding themselves in a situation where too many jobseekers are fighting for survival. Our class has had a heated discussion on this problem. Students have different ideas. 70% of them think it makes sense that they realize an early employment by lowering their income expectations, thus reducing the burden on their families. They also believe there’re better opportunities for development if they go to work in the west or rural areas. 20% of them consider full employment an unrealistic goal, so they choose to continue their further study or go to vocational schools to learn some practical skills to make better preparations for future careers. Finally, the rest 10% determine to set up their own businesses. As for me, I think after a series of timely measures taken by the government, we are confident about and capable of overcoming the current difficulties and challenges and the employment prospects for graduates will be better soon. So all we need to do now is plan and act in ways that reflect the reality, to assure that we make full use of our talent and skills. （2）阅读下面的新闻，然后按要求，写一篇120—150词左右的英语短文。 China news, Shanghai, October 8 – According to a random survey covering 3,800 elementary and secondary school students in Shanghai, the two groups of students have very different career outlooks. Most pupils dream of starting their own business after graduation, while high school students prefer to take an ordinary full – time job.
作为一名高三学生，请你简要说明对这两种就业观点的看法和理由，并谈谈你个人的就业意向，如你打算将来从事什么职业，为了你的事业，你现在应该怎么做等。 One possible version： As far as I am concerned，the elementary pupils’ career outlook is really exciting. It’s cool to be our own boss and do whatever we want to. But the outlook of high school students is more reasonable and practical，as it is difficult to start a career from scratch. I’ve been dreaming of becoming an excellent doctor after graduating from university. With people’s awareness of healthy life raised, doctors are playing a more important part and among the highly-paid people in society. More importantly, doctors can help the sick get rid of pain and suffering or even give them a second life. I can't imagine how great I will feel when seeing a patient recover from the illness and live happily again with my help. Now what I should do is to study hard to make sure I can enter a famous medicine university, where I can get the required knowledge and skills to be a good doctor. （3）经济危机已成为现在甚至将来很长一段时间内的热点话题。通过你对1929年和2008年爆发的两次经济危机的理解，结合历史、政治知识及生活实际写一篇短文。 1929年经济危机 这次危机首先在美国爆发，然后迅速蔓延，影响深广，造成许多银行、工厂倒闭，数百万工人失业。美国政府采取了一定措施，使美国经济得以复苏，政治得到稳定。 2008年经济危机 这次危机破坏力极大，影响到全球。中国受经济危机的影响也很大，部分地区、某些领域损失很严重。但我们相信，我们的国家有能力来解决这场危机所带来的问题。 说出这次危机的一些现象 注意：1．开头已给出，不计入总词数；2．参考词汇： economic crisis经济危机；steady稳定的；the globe全球 The economic crisis has been a hot topic．It is necessary for us to really understand the two crises and their bad effect by comparing them． As we all know,the economic crisis broke out in America in 1929 and then spread quickly and affected deeply and widely． As a result，it caused banks and factories to close down，and millions of workers were laid off．However,the USA took many measures to recover the economy and make the politics steady． The crisis in 2008 damaged the globe greatly．Our country is affected greatly．Some areas and some fields are damaged seriously．We should believe our government has ability and ways to do well with a series of problems that the crisis brings． We easily see and know some phenomena．The prices of the buildings are going down，and it influences the students graduating in 2009 to look for jobs and so on． （4）自2009年2月起，中国政府启动了一项“家电下乡”计划，请你根据下表提示的信息，用英语为China Today写一篇短文，简要介绍此事。 目的和意义 1. 拉动内需，减少库存。 2. 满足两亿农村家庭的需求。 时间和品种 1. 此项活动将持续四年。 2. 品种包括：彩电、手机、冰箱、洗衣机等。 承诺和优惠 1. 确保所有下乡家电皆为优质产品。 2. 优惠13%，由政府买单。 你的评价 针对以上措施谈谈你的评价，至少两点。 注意：1.对所给要点逐一陈述。表达灵活，不要逐句翻译。2.字数150左右。开头已给出，不计入总词数。3.参考词汇：刺激消费 stimulate the consumption Home Appliances a Tough Sell in the Countryside Beginning in February 2009, Chinese government launched a program ---Home Appliances in the Countryside, details of which are as follows: Home Appliances a Tough Sell in the Countryside Beginning in February 2009, Chinese government launched a program ---Home Appliances in the Countryside, details of which are as follows: From the program, we can see clearly that the Chinese government wants to stimulate the consumption in rural areas and decrease the numbers of the goods in store so as to satisfy the needs of 200 million farmers in China.

As a result, Chinese farmers qualify for a 13 percent of the benefits, which is paid by the government. In this activity, the government guarantees that all the home appliances must be of good quality.
