18、 then remain constant in 2008.Meanwhile the mobile phone subscriptions in developing countries have witnessed a slow increase from 1990 to 2004 and then a great surge from 2004 to 20007:the biggest surge happens from 2005 to 2006.This chart reflects different developing modes of mobile phone industr

19、y in developed and developing countries.The developed countries have a limited number of populations,most of whom are well-educated.Therefore,the spreading of the mobile phone service is efficient and soon the market is saturated.Also at the beginning the developed countries have more people who can

20、 afford this service.The developing countries have a large population who keeps a large demand for mobile service.As the mobile phone service becomes cheaper and cheaper,the increasing customers subscribe to benefit from this service.As discussed above,it is not surprising to see this change.In my o

21、pinion,this trend that the number of mobile-phone subscriptions is increasingly increasing will continue for a while in the future.Sample 1 What can be clearly seen from the chart above is the proportion of cars sold in domestic market.In general,the figures reveal that the percentage of China-made

22、autos increased from 25 percent in 2008 to nearly 35 percent in 2009,while Japan-made cars ran in the opposite direction.Notably,the percentage of U.S.-made cars remained at about 15%stably during that period。What on earth can be learned from this chart?Studying it further,we may find that simple as

23、 it appears,what the illustrator actually aim to convey is by no means simple-home-made autos are becoming increasingly popular among domestic consumers.Indeed,the past couple of years has witnessed an marked rise of the quality of China-made cars.Extensive studies show that cars of foreign brands m

24、ake up a falling percentage of the market share。It should be observed,of course,that home-made products will enjoy a much higher proportion in both domestic and overseas market.I am confident that so long as the whole society make substantial and sustainable efforts,our country will surely be better

25、。Sample 2 The chart reflects changes in domestic market share of automobiles of Chinese,Japanese and US brand in 2008 and 2009.As is shown in the chart,the market share of home-made automobile increased from 25%to 33%，almost an increase by 50%.In contrast,the Japanese-made automobile was on the decl

26、ine from 35%to 25%，a decrease by nearly 50%.Meanwhile,the USmade automobiles remain stable in the market share。Several factors may account for the market share change of the chart.The increase in home-made automobile market share is at least closely related to the following three factors.First,in 20

27、09,Chinese government is enhancing favorable policies to improve domestic automobile production.Meanwhile,we can see that Geely merged with Volvo in 2009,which contributes to the increase of home-made automobile market share.Another obvious evidence we can find is that the poor after-service policy

28、of Japanese automobile toward domestic market,which irritated us Chinese consumers.And the US market policies remain unchanged in this period。In brief,the trend suggests that as long as we are improving our strategy and service,the home-made automobiles will continue to take a lions share of the aut

29、o-market.We look forward to that day。1996 Directions:A Study the following set of pictures carefully and write an essay in no less than 120 words.B Your essay must be written clearly on the ANSWER SHEET.(15 points)C Your essay should cover all the information provided and meet the requirements below

30、:1.Interpret the following pictures.2.Predict the tendency of tobacco consumption and give your reasons.Sample 1 About Tobacco Consumption From the above set of pictures,we can see that there were a total of 14.364 billion pounds of tobacco produced in 1994 and 14.2 billion pounds in 1995.Because th

31、e amount of tobacco production is falling yearly,it can be predicted that the tendency of tobacco consumption would also be falling yearly.There are many reasons.Firstly,smoking wastes money.Every year there are two hundred billion dollars“burnt”in the cigarette“fire.”Secondly,smoking would hardly d

32、o people any good and it can even cause cancer.Every year there are three million people“buried”in the cigarette“tomb”.Although tobacco consumption is falling,there are too many people who smoke.The population in the world is 5.8 billion,but about twenty percent of the population,that is to say 1.1

33、billion people,smoke.So the situation is serious and the movement against smoking is still a difficult task.Sample 2 We meet smokers everywhere:in the streets,on college campuses and in shops.There are 5.8 billion people in the world,and the smokers are about 1.1 billion,which makes up 20 percent of

34、 the worlds total population.Smoking is very harmful.I think there are two main aspects to the damage.First,smoking consumes a great deal of money.As is shown in the pictorial graph,smiling wastes 200 billion dollars each year in the world.Second,smoking does harm to the health of smokers,and it is

35、the main cause of lung cancer.About 3 million people die because of the relevant diseases derived from smoking every year.Because more and more people are aware of the great harm of smoking to humans,the amount of tobacco consumption is on the decrease.From the following figures we can clearly see t

36、he tendency.The total amount of world tobacco production added up to 14.364 billion pounds in 1994,but it dropped to 14.2 billion pounds in 1995.At the same time,many countries call on people to give up smoking.So it is certain that the number of smokers is to decrease.1999 76.Directions:A Study the

37、 following graphs carefully and write an essay in at least 150 words.B Your essay must be written neatly on ANSWER SHEET 2.(15 points)C Your essay should cover these three points:1.effect of the countrys growing human population on its wildlife2.possible reason for the effect3.your suggestion for wi

38、ldlife protection From the two graphs,we can draw a conclusion that the rapid growth of the U.S.population resulted in the sharp decline of the number of species of wildlife.According to the statistics,Americas population of 250 million in 1990 is 250 times that of in 1800.In contrast,about 70 wildl

39、ife species vanished from the earth in the past 200 years.In other words,Americas population growth has had undesirable effect on its wildlife and will still pose a formidable threat to its wildlife resources if sufficient care is not given.After a second thought,it is reasonable to think that the g

40、rowth of human population and the progress of industrialization deprived plants and creatures of living conditions and drove them to extinction.On the one hand,rapidly growing population has occupied vast wild areas to meet American peoples needs to shelter themselves.Apartment buildings,factories,f

41、arms,even golf courses all take up land.On the other hand,deforestation,pollution of the air,rivers,ect.have also forced many wildlife species to the unfamiliar environments that they cannot adapt to.For some of them extinction is the only result that could be expected.Therefore,to protect existing

42、species from extinction,we should take strong measures to stop making wildlife species extinct.One thing is we should strengthen our protection awareness.The other thing is we should set up more mature reserves for wildlife.Otherwise,we should see more species go extinct.In short,the US should deal with the problems mentioned above seriously 此课件下载可自行编辑修改，仅供参考！此课件下载可自行编辑修改，仅供参考！感谢您的支持，我们努力做得更好！谢谢感谢您的支持，我们努力做得更好！谢谢
