在论坛里潜了有一段时间了，终于还是浮出来了，寻求大家的帮助。
已经是凌晨两点钟了，在床上翻来覆去的怎么也睡着，越临近考试越紧张了。（不知道有没g友和我一样现在还没睡着呢:)）
先想大家介绍一下我的情况。09年毕的业，工作了一段时间。今年开始的准备考g，红宝书按17天过了一遍（回来再看发现忘得也差不多了）。4.12考作文。作文准备了有一段时间发现都没有怎么任何感觉，刚写了两篇issue极度痛苦，要思想没思想要例证没例证，差不多每篇都用了1个半小时；Argument背了一些常用的句子和两篇范文，还没写。
离考AW还不到一个月了，该怎么复习现在，请各位多给给建议。还有后面的两个月复习笔试时间算充裕吗？
顺便把两篇issue发一下，大家狠批。
26"Most people would agree thatbuildings represent a valuable record of any society's past, but controversyarises when old buildings stand on ground that modern planners feel could bebetter used for modern purposes. In such situations, modern development shouldbe given precedence over the preservation of historic buildings so thatcontemporary needs can be served."
As an increasingly growing population is crowding into cities, there is a greater need for more land to build moreconstructions, whether for living or business and to pave more roads. Thequestion is: does this mean we should tear down historic buildings to satisfythis contemporary need as the speaker claims? I fundamentally disagree with thespeaker’s assertion for the sole reason that historic buildings not only serveto the diversity of a city which makes it more charming but also by studyingthese buildings we learn a lot about our society.
To begin, historic buildings are essential factors that contribute to a diverse world. In a sense, historic buildings arepart of our ancestors’ culture which is different from region to region, forthat matter these buildings in particular cultures differentiate nations andcities. Taking Beijing, New York, and Parisas examples, we readily recognize which is which whenever see a picture of themon TV or in a movie. The reason for this is simple, they all have their uniquehistoric buildings: for Beijing the buildingsare the Traditional Chinese wooden structures, Paristhe western stone buildings, and New  York the modern towers of early 20thcentury. We can easily imagine what a gloomy world it would be if one were totear off all the historic buildings as as the speaker proposes.
Besides, we come to learn much about ourancient political, economic, environmental and cultural aspects by studyingthese historic. Yet it would be difficult to study such structures if they aresimply drawn on a piece of paper instead of exmamined. The styles and materialsused for the buildings in a certain time represent a lot about the social gradesystem, major industry, local climate and people’s life conditions, and soforth. For example, by analyzing the remnants of a traditional Chinese buildingwe can learn that our ancestors emphasized Fengshui before standing a building;the location and layout of the building was carefully chosen and designed; thuspeople could live comfortably and safely in the building. For that matter,studying these buildings also provide contemporaries their references when theylayout buildings.
Admittedly, the modernization leads to ademand for more living and working space and also requires them to be more functional and comfortable. Which seems impossible unless we tear down those historicbuildings; however, it is entirely possible. What has been done in a host ofcities in China prove so: to make the old buildings functional useable theyreconstructed the inside of the buildings while keeping the main structure and facade;and to get more space for modern life, they tried to build additionalconstructions upon the original ones while keeping the style of the newconstructions in accord to the historic buildings.
In sum, it is true we need more living andworking space for modern life but it is unfair to say that historic buildingsshould give their way to meet this need. What the world needs is the ability touse modern technology and human wisdom to make the best use of the historic buildings and not simply tear them down.


121"At various times in the geologicalpast, many species have become extinct as a result of natural, rather thanhuman, processes. Thus, there is no justification for society to make extraordinaryefforts, especially at a great cost in money and jobs, to save endangeredspecies."
I fundamentally disagree with the speaker’sassertion that mankind is free of the responsibility to prevent the extinctionof endangered species. Although it is a well-known fact that species die outthrough time naturally, it has never been at such a disturbing rate due tohuman processes. Thus, we have undeniable duties to control the situationbefore it intensifies.
On one hand, some views point that learning from history we know that even without any human processes species still have becomeextinct as a result of natural selection. Darwinism serves as a supportingexample. According to Darwinists, species with better adaption to their livingenvironment survive while others become extinct. For instance, there is an assumptionthat dinosaurs died out because of the drop in temperature caused by the dustin the sky, which blocked the sunshine for years after a meteorite hit theearth. While most of the dinosaurs lived, many of the plants died. The carryingcapacity of the environment decreased at an alarming rate and eventually most,if not all, of the dinosaurs died out. However some other species, such as someof mammals that lived underground and depended on insects, survived. Essentially,the extinction of dinosaurs is a result of nature selection rather than humanactivities.
On the other hand, however, humans inmodern society are somehow disrupting this process of natural selection as weadvance. It is undoubted that the development of technology has provided agreat convenience and comfort for our life. A problem arises when humans arerapidly depleting natural resources and dumping wastes from coal, petroleum,and other chemicals into the environment for convenience. Thus, human beingsshould undertake the duties of preserving the environment by implement measures to stop dumping and pollution from continuing, not only for those species whichshare the earth with us but also for ourselves and our offspring.
First, by protecting the endangered specieswe are essentially protecting ourselves. Human beings, as one part of the earth’seco-system, interacts with every other species in multiple instances, so if thespecies around humans all become extinct, it is impossible for the human raceto survive. Just take a look at what is happening in the Beijing,China.Every year, the capital city suffers from sandstorms, which are caused bydamage of forest in some inner provinces. If we consider the forest as clustersof many endangered flora species, we may see clearly that how the extinction ofthese species are affecting ourselves.
Besides, we should be responsible for ourdescendants. As we know, there are much more things that we can learn about thespecies around, of which many actually benefit human beings. Recently a pieceaired on TV that revealed a scientist in the USA headed to the Amazonian Tropicto gather plants for medical purposes, because of their belief that some plantsmay contain certain ingredients which can help cure some disease. Although thisis not confirmed yet, this example tells us that we can make better use of allsome species. Whether if be something that is within our capability in thepresent or as a potential opportunity in the future, if we destroy such specieswe deprive our offspring’s right to make better use of them or even the rightto know them.
In sum, for the good of  living species, ourselves and our descendants we should take measure such as inputting more money and attention to protect those endangered species.
