Mobile-phone Subscriptions (2000-2008) (subscription number: billion)

From the information given in the above column chart, we can see a striking contrast in mobile-phone subscriptions between developing and developed countries from 2000 to 2008. During this period, there has been a dramatic increase from 0.4 to 4 billion mobile phone subscriptions in developing countries, while that of developed countries remained steady under 1 billion during the decade. At least two fundamental factors could contribute to this phenomenon. On the one hand, with the rapid increase in economy happening in the developing countries, the telecommunication industry in those countries got a great bound to meet the demand of globalization. As a result, the user of mobile phone which can narrow the distance between people and link the whole world together rose at an incredible speed. On the other hand, the extremely advanced civilization of developed countries means less potential in many aspects including in the area of private

telecommunication tools and their demand for further enlargement of such tools tend to saturation.

In conclusion, while mobile phones subscriptions, if used carelessly or without restraint, could prove to be a double-edged sword, the fact remains that it is

already extremely prevalent in both developing and developed countries and even today, continue rise in popularity. Given the levels of intelligence, prudence and discretion imbued in people, I am sure that most of them will be able to sidestep the potential drawbacks of mobile phones, while taking advantage of all its merits.

2008、2009年国内轿车市场部分品牌市场份额示意图 (从左至右:国产品牌、日系品牌、美系品牌)

What is shown in the column chart above indicates that dramatic changes have taken place in the market share of certain brands in domestic car markets from 2008 to 2009. During the period, there was a marked jump of 8% from 25% to 33% in the market portion of Chinese brands, while that of Japanese brands declined significantly by 10% from 35% to 25%. At the same time, the percentage of American brands remained steady.

There are at least two fundamental causes accounting for these changes. On the one hand, advancements in science and technology have offered a technical foundation for the rapid development of Chinese automobile industry by providing material basis and technical means. Meanwhile, it won’t be difficult to notice these days that national automobile companies in mounting numbers turn to price promotions to boost sales. On the other hand, the dishonest words and behaviors of Japanese automobile corporations such as Toyota in recent years cheapen their image and finally ruin their reputation.

To sum up, brands are insubstantial treasure. They are akin to a product’s or a company’s reputations. Obviously, if Chinese automobile industry wants to make continuous profits, what they need is to try promotions that reinforce Chinese brands’ image. (204 words) 3.2012真题:管理类 Directions:

Write an essay based on the following table. In your writing you should 1) describe the table ,and 2) give your comments

You should write at least 150 words. (15 points)

某公司员工工作满意度调查

年龄/满意度 小于等于40岁 41-50岁 大于50岁

满意 16.7% 0.0% 40.0

不清楚 50.0% 36.0% 50.0%

不满意 33.3% 64.0% 10.0%

The table clearly reflects the statistics of job satisfaction of the staff in a certain company. According to the data given above, we may conclude that the percentage of people satisfied with their jobs is highest among those over 50 years old, at about 40%. In contrast, the figure of the staff not satisfied with their jobs is about 64% among those between the age of 41 and 50, the highest among all the three categories.

The major determinant lies in people’s various attitudes. On the one hand, the staffs between the age of 41 and 50 usually have to undertake their responsibilities and pressure from both their families and their career. Sometimes they even go to extremes, and frantically pursue money, power, high social status, and so on, which are all symbols of success—but never of job satisfaction. On the other hand, people over the age of 50 always shift their life’s goal from

ultimate success to a relatively easy and comfortable life, and therefore are inclined to be much more satisfied with their jobs.

In view of the above reasoning, I am convinced that it is difficult for everyone to be content with their jobs, and that it is advisable for each person to adjust his or her understanding of job satisfaction to reality. It is also clear to me that, despite the diverse attitudes towards one’s career, true satisfaction probably derives from a positive attitude. (239 words) 4.社会热点:老龄化 Directions

Write an essay based on the following chart in your writing, you should 1) interpret the chart, and 2) give your comments You should write about 150 words.

As can be seen from the bar chart above, the population aging over 60 years old in China has increased markedly from 2000 to 2050. From the statistics given in the diagram, we estimate that there were 120 million aged people in 2000, accounting for about 10% of the total population, while it will shoot up to 450 million in 2050, approximately 35% of the total.

From my point of view, the government, the society and the children of the old all should care the old rather than one or two parties. How well we handle this social issue reflects the civilization of our country. To begin with, all citizens pay taxes to the government, so the authority is obliged to ensure a stable and happy rest life of its people. In addition, the society including companies, associations and organizations should play a positive role in helping aged people, both financially and spiritually. Last but not least, the children of the elderly should be responsible for their parents, because parents not only bring them to the world, but also raise them to be a useful citizen.

In conclusion, I suggest that the whole society should create an environment

conducive to the rest life of the old. No one can escape the obligation. 5.教育文化:硕士招生 Directions:

In this section, you are asked to write an essay based on the following diagram. Describe the diagram and analyze the possible causes. You should write at least 150 words.

1998-2004年全国工程硕士招生录取人数

工程硕士:Master of Engineering

The diagram above clearly illustrates that dramatic elevation has occurred in the recruitment of Master of Engineering (ME) in the past seven years. According to the statistics given above, we may conclude that the recruitment of ME was on a steady rise from 1998 to 2004. In 1998, the number was at a low level, only about 2,500. Surprisingly, it reached to more than 35,000 in 2004 within no more than seven years.

Some driving factors that contribute to the above-mentioned changes may be summarized as follows. First and foremost, China has become particularly active in manufacturing, which leads to the increasing demand of qualified engineers. In addition, the development of job market on the whole cannot keep pace with the expansion of college graduates, which obliges a large number of students to stay on campus for another three years to get better prepared for their career. Last but not least, working pressure is another reason. Taking all these factors into account, we may predict that with speedy development of our society, the number of recruitment of ME will keep growing in the forthcoming decade. On the other side of the coin, however, this tendency may bring about a good many problems, such as the waste of talent. It is necessary for us to take effective measures to ensure this situation doesn’t get out of hand, and encourage students

to choose majors in which theoretical knowledge and practical skills will be demanded in the job market. (246 words) 6.电子商务/网上购物 Directions:

In this section, you are asked to write an essay based on the following chart, in which you should

1) describe the chart briefly, and

2) give your comments. 全球电子商务成交额统计

As can be seen from the above bar chart, money value of annual global electronic commerce transactions is increasing gradually during the 15 years. In 1997, it is almost 2 billion dollars, while the number reached 90 billion in 2005. By 2011, the number jumped dramatically to 300 billion dollars, 150 times than that of 1997. Why is electronic commerce booming nowadays? Several causes contribute to this phenomenon. Above all, the availability of computer is the foremost cause and the rapid development of information technology enables everybody to have access to computer and Internet. Nowadays, Internet is no longer a stranger to common people. What is more, the Internet technology is becoming increasingly mature. People who at first do not trust business transactions on Internet now become convinced that doing business on web is extremely convenient and effective. Last but not least, electronic commerce is the fastest way so far to make transactions across far distance. It makes it possible to do business at home and it saves time and unnecessary formalities as well. That is why it is preferable to traditional commerce.

The booming electronic commerce undoubtedly contributes to the prosperity of world economy and it also gives birth to SOHO, a special group of people working at home. The trend towards a promising e-commerce is inevitable. Accordingly, let’s get prepared to embrace this irretrievable tendency.

7.房地产业 Directions:

In this section, you are asked to write an essay based on the following chart, in which you should

1) describe the chart briefly, and

2) give your comments. 中国某城市住房拥有权的变化

Since 1990, China has witnessed a great change in the ownership of houses. As the chart shows, the percentage of state-owned houses in a certain city in China decreased considerably, dropping from 75% in 1990 to 20% in 2010, while the corresponding figures for private houses increased dramatically, rising from 25% to 80% over the same period.

The rise and fall can be accounted for by a couple of factors. For one thing, the boom of the urban economy has resulted in the increase of family income and the improvement of family economic conditions has led to the changes of people’s minds. Nowadays, hire purchase or installment plan has found its growing popularity and acceptance. These have promoted the purchase of private houses. For another, the government has put in force a series of new policies which provide residents with subsidies and loans to encourage their real estate investment. These policies make it easier for an individual to buyhis or her own house.

In my opinion, owning a house is also an excellent investment for an individual. With the population rising as quickly as it is, it is a very good idea to become a property owner. In the forthcoming years, land will be increasingly expensive, and therefore less attainable. Furthermore, if one buys a house, it is likely that he will be able to sell it at a reasonable profit in the future. Accordingly, the increase in house ownership is acceptable for both the authority and individuals, which should be encouraged. 8.引进外资

Directions:

In this section, you are asked to write an essay based on the following table, in which you should

1) describe the table briefly, and

2) give your comments.

China’s Absorption of Foreign Investment in the World

25.8 25.5

33.8 33.3

6.6 11.2 12.6 16.1 25.9

The given table indicates evidently that foreign investment in developing countries grew faster than that in industrialized countries in the past decades, and foreign investment in China grew fastest of all with nearly one-third of that in the third world.

China’s radical growth in foreign investment mainly resulted from the following facts. Firstly, China was politically stable in the past twenty-five years, which inevitably provided the whole country with a favorable environment to promote her economy and thus attracted more and more foreign investment. Secondly, she offered preferential policies for foreign investors, which definitely contributed a lot to bringing in increasing foreign funds. Finally, China possesses cheap labor

and immense markets and the two factors above are what most of the foreign investors are looking forward to.

Since the above reasons make possible higher returns on investment, with China’s improvement in policy and infrastructure, such a tendency will remain steady for years to come. 9.旅游产业 Directions

You should write about 150 words.

It is apparent from the diagram above that total income of tourist industry will reach RMB 2,500 billion by the year 2015, at the growth rate of 10% per year. From the statistics given in the table, we can see that the value added in tourism will account for 4.5% of national GDP and 12% of the value added in service business. Different countries are striving to develop their national tourism because tourism really has a lot of advantages. First and foremost, beautiful scenery, attractive tourist spots and splendid culture allure tourists from various parts of the world, which provides many opportunities to promote exchanges among people from diverse backgrounds. For instance, since the reform and opening-up, China, a country which has rich tourist resources, receives millions of foreign tourists every year. Moreover, travel enriches one’s knowledge, widens one’s visions and enhances mutual understanding. Through travelling, we Chinese have expanded our scope of knowledge, and we have come to know the world better and have been learning how to develop our country better. Finally, tourism boosts local economy and promotes commercial exchanges.

In my opinion, it is crucial for a country to develop its tourism to upgrade its international position and at the same time promote global understanding to

remove prejudice and bias. We should make good use of our rich tourist resources to make our motherland more beautiful. 10、教育文化:大学生就业 Directions

Write an essay based on the following chart in your writing, you should 1)interpret the chart, and 2)give your comments

You should write about 150 words.

The bar chart above illustrates the various reasons that college students find it increasingly difficult in getting jobs. From the perspective of employers, the lack of practical experience, excessive expectations and financial crisis ranks the first, accounting for 57.1%, 42.3% and 36.9% respectively.

The job market for college graduates is getting tighter and tighter. To begin with, with the social competition becoming keener, college graduates should be well-equipped with practical experience which suits the demand of the society. Otherwise, they will fond no place for themselves. Unfortunately, the majority of them lack adequate practical ability and operative skills. What is more, another reason is connected with their attitude towards employment. A large number of graduates put earnings above anything else. They aim at the well-paid position in foreign corporations or big banks and set a standard as high as RMB 5,000 for their monthly salary. Since below that they won’t accept any job, many opportunities have been lost. Obviously, if they have realistic expectation of how much they should earn in the beginning of their career, it won’t be difficult for them to get a job.

With the increasing college population, employment for graduates will become more serious. Among many solutions, having a correct attitude toward it is an extremely crucial one.
