Question

【題目】請(qǐng)閱讀下面文字，并按照要求用英語寫一篇150詞左右的文章。

International Museum Day falls on May 18. The debate over whether museums should be free is a big one right now. Some people share their opinions.

Li Jiang I think art exhibits should be free to the public. I do, however, think twice a year the museums should host a fund-raising event to help pay for the cost of upkeep. They do it all the time. Wealthy buyers pay $100 for a plate and the proceeds are given to the museum. If you decide you want to buy the art, the proceeds should go to the artist, with a fee going to the museum.

Su Hua Free entrance does not attract people, nor does it encourage them to appreciate it. Sure, there are exceptions to this, but by and large human beings tend to look up to things that are difficult or costly to access. A better option is to charge fees for regular visitors but provide free tickets as prizes for high-achieving students and others who are likely to appreciate the reward.

（寫作內(nèi)容）

1. 用約30個(gè)詞概括上述信息的主要內(nèi)容；

2. 你認(rèn)為博物館應(yīng)該免費(fèi)嗎？請(qǐng)說明理由 (不少于兩點(diǎn))。

（寫作要求）

1. 寫作過程中不能直接引用原文語句；

2. 作文中不能出現(xiàn)真實(shí)姓名和學(xué)校名稱；

3. 不必寫標(biāo)題。

（評(píng)分標(biāo)準(zhǔn)）

內(nèi)容完整，語言規(guī)范，語篇連貫，詞數(shù)適當(dāng)。

Answer 1

【答案】Li Jiang and Su Hua hold different opinions on whether museums should be free for the public. Li believes that museums shouldn’t charge visitors for admission while Su thinks otherwise.

On a personal note, museums should be available to all visitors for free. First and foremost, museums house many precious artworks, antiques and relics, and free access will attract more lovers to explore their history and culture, which may add to a feeling of national identity. Besides, given that museums are always a crucial source of inspiration and education, free access is a rewarding investment in the future and is of great benefit to securing prosperity of the whole society. What’s more, free access can also boost the number of visitors, thus expanding cultural power to its fullest.

In conclusion, to help build up national pride and promote cultural confidence, museums should be open for free to provide more cultural and educational opportunities.

【解析】

這是一篇讀寫任務(wù)。本篇要求考生先用30詞左右總結(jié)所給文章，再就博物館是否應(yīng)該免費(fèi)表達(dá)自己的觀點(diǎn)，并陳述理由。

總結(jié)全文

通讀全文可知，文章是關(guān)于兩個(gè)人對(duì)博物館是否應(yīng)該免費(fèi)的看法�？煽偨Y(jié)為：兩人對(duì)博物館是否應(yīng)該免費(fèi)持不同觀點(diǎn)。李江認(rèn)為博物館不應(yīng)該向游客收取費(fèi)用，而蘇華的觀點(diǎn)恰好相反�？偨Y(jié)時(shí)注意時(shí)態(tài)和字?jǐn)?shù)。

就該問題發(fā)表自己的觀點(diǎn)，并陳述原因。

表明自己的觀點(diǎn)：認(rèn)為博物館應(yīng)該對(duì)游客免費(fèi)開放

原因（至少兩點(diǎn)）：博物館有大量珍貴的藝術(shù)品、古董等，如果免費(fèi)開放，可以讓更多愛好者前來參觀，提高他們的民族自豪感；博物館可以陶冶人們的情操，從根源上解決社會(huì)公共財(cái)產(chǎn)的安全問題；免費(fèi)開放可以吸引更多的游客，這樣可以將博物館的文化教育功能最大化。
