With the rapid development of economy, the number of Chinese traveling abroad has increased enormously, which definitely benefits both China and the world.
In the past three years, the number of Chinese traveling abroad has kept a high growth rate. In accordance with the figures from a survey, there were about 7.5 million people traveling abroad in 1999. In the year after 1999, the number continued to rise. By 2000, it reached 10 million people. And the year 2001 saw an ever-growing number of 12.1 million people going abroad.
The reasons why the number of Chinese traveling abroad grows so rapidly are just as follows. First of all, after 20 years' reform and opening up to the world, our economy has developed very quickly. Now Chinese have more money in their pockets than before. They can do whatever they want. Moreover, with more spare money in their hands, many Chinese would like to better the quality of their lives by going out to see different people, to hear different ideas and experience different cultures. And traveling abroad is just one way on the list to meet their demands.
From the above analysis, we can easily draw the conclusion that such an increase in the number of people traveling abroad is reasonable and will continue to prove on a rise.

2. 交通问题--私家车的使用
Directions:
You are to write an essay according to the following situation within 40 minutes and with no less than 200 words.
Situation:
Some people agree that more private automobiles should be encouraged in China. Other people disagree with it. Do you agree or disagree? Use specific examples to support your view.
参考范文：
As an updated product, the invention and production of automobiles have greatly pushed forward the civilized development of human society. With the development of modern society, automobiles seem to have become indispensable to the people's daily life. For the time being, many Chinese people who have made their fortune are able to afford them. But in my view point, the number of the automobiles should be strictly controlled by the concerned agency of the government.
First, automobiles may take up so much time and space. China has been celebrated for its population with large areas as a developing country. Despite its large areas, it still seems narrow in space because of its population. If each person has his or her own car, you'll find that you're meeting with traffic jams in rush hours instead of going to work on schedule. You may believe that riding on your bike is faster than driving your car. On driving it to the supermarket, where there is no enough space to park, you may complain that how horrible manufactures have produced so many automobiles.
Second, automobiles have brought about the problem of the pollution, which seems to be a symbol of modern civilization. However, automobiles are giving out a great deal of smog every day, which has a deep influence on not only human health but also physical environment. If each person steers his car at the same time, you can imagine that how much smog a car will discharge. Therefore, some actions should be taken immediately to decrease the number of the automobiles. Otherwise, the world will become crowded and smoggy in the near future.
After all, automobiles have so many advantages. It's convenient for us to travel, to go shopping, to go to work and so forth. It can also be appreciated by way of exhibition. If the scientists were to create a kind of automobile that gives rise to no air pollution, I believe that private cars in our country should be encouraged and advocated.

参考范文:
As is vividly betrayed in the drawing above, a gentleman and a lady are sitting calmly on the reserved seats for babies and their mothers while a mother holding a baby in her arm is standing beside the seats. The drawing exposes a common social phenomenon and is most thought-provoking.
The implied meaning of the drawing is worth discussing. To begin with, manners should be improved in public places. Some people lack the necessary public awareness so that they pay no attention to the rules and regulations designed for public places. As a result, they disturb the normal order of public places. What's more, the traditional moral values should be enhances. It is well known that to respect the elderly and take care of the young is one of our traditional virtues in our country. At present, some people are so selfish that they even neglect our traditional virtues in public places, which does no good to the healthy development of our society. In one word, we should make a deep reflection on our own deeds.
In my view, necessary measures should be immediately taken so as to create an ideal living environment. On the one hand, an education campaign should be launched to inform people of the acceptable and civilized manners in public places. On the other hand, "eight honors and eight disgraces" advanced by Hu Jintao should be publicized so as to enhance our sense of traditional virtues. Only in this way can we live in a harmonious society.

参考范文:
As is vividly revealed in the drawing above, the five Beijing 2008 Olympic mascots are cute and lovely.
Each mascot has a rhyming two-syllable name, the traditional way of expressing affection for children in China. Beibei is the Fish, Jingjing is the Panda, Huanhuan is the Olympic Flame, Yingying is the Tibetan Antelope and Nini is the Swallow. The first characters of their two-syllable names read "Beijing Huanying Ni." or, in English, "Welcome to Beijing."
The mascots have distinctive Chinese characteristics, representing not only the multi-ethnic cultures of China, but also the traditional Chinese philosophy of harmony between humans and nature. They also represent the five elements of nature- the sea, forest, fire, earth and sky. "Five" also matches the five elements (metal, wood, water, fire and earth) believed by ancient Chinese people to explain the origins of the world.
Called the "Five Fuwa", the figures embody the Chinese people's hope for peace and friendship in the world and the spirit of the Olympics. Dedicated to helping Beijing 2008 spread its theme of One World, One Dream to every continent, the Five Fuwa reflect the deep desire of the Chinese people to reach out to the world in friendship through the Games- and to invite every man, woman, and child to take part in the great celebration of human solidarity in 2008.

As is vividly portrayed in the drawing above, a milk salesman is promoting a bottle of milk, which is marked with "next year" as its production date. The drawing mirrors a common social phenomenon and is really thought-provoking.
The aim of the painter of the drawing is to reveal the fact of credibility crisis which is getting increasingly serious in our modern society. Credibility crisis should be the uppermost in our thoughts. Otherwise, our society is bound to deteriorate. Living in our society, people will suffer instead of enjoying the civilization and happiness of modern society because the society is filled with dishonesty and deception. Fu yang milk powder is a case in point. The fake milk powder killed many innocent babies, which has cast doubt on the credibility of human beings. It is not hard to spot cases of such kind in the field of education, medicine, accounting, entertainment, etc.
Counter-measures to deal with credibility crisis should be taken so as to return people a safe place to live in and to ensure people a healthy society. Most importantly, laws must be established to severely punish those who misbehave in terms of credibility.
