　　Part I Writing (30minutes)

　　Directions：For this part， you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay 。Suppose you are two options upon graduation： one is to take a job in a company and the other to go to a graduate school。 You are to make a choice between the two。 Write an essay to explain the reasons for your choice。 You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words。

　　Much controversy has been aroused about whether the students should find a job or start their own business after graduation。 Taking a look around， we can find that some graduates bustle around job markets， while others choose to run a shop on TMall。 However， I prefer the former choice。

　　From my perspective， there are good reasons to find a job in the first several years after their graduation。 First and foremost， if a graduate intends to accumulate working experience and learn from the seniors， it is advisable for him to find a job。 It is an undeniable fact that the theoretical knowledge will provide the graduates with the ability to consider things comprehensively， however， only under the integration with practice can the rigid knowledge be useful for their future development。 Inevitably， doing something small is the premise of undertaking something great。 Take Jack Ma， the founder of Alibaba and taobao， for example。 He also finds some jobs before establishing his own career， laying a solid foundation for his later success。

　　Consequently， it is of great necessity to find a job after graduation。 I firmly believe that it will continue to bring about more returns to our life and future。

　　Part IV Translation (30 minutes)

　　Directions： For this part， you are allowed 30minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English 。You should write your answer on Answer Sheet 2。

　　在中國文化中，紅色通常象征著好運、長壽和幸福。在春節和其他喜慶場合，紅色到處可見。人們把現金作為禮物送給家人或親密朋友時，通常放在紅色信封里。紅色在中國流行的另一個原因是人們把它與中國革命和共產黨相聯系。然而，紅色并不總是代表好運和快樂。因為從死前者名字通常用紅色書寫，用紅墨水書寫中國人名被看成是一種冒犯行為。

　　As a symbol of good luck， longevity and happiness in Chinese culture， the colour of red can be seen everywhere on festive occasions such as Chinese New Year。 Cash is usually put in red envelopes as gifts to relatives and close friends。 Also， red is much-welcomed in China because of its association with Chinese revolutions and the Communist Party。 However， red does not always represent good luck and happiness。 Red was previously used to write the names of the deceased so it is seen as an offence to write Chinese people’s names in red ink。　(北京新東方羅宇)
