“Why am I going to school if my phone already knows everything?”

参考答案：

【参考范文】

In the picture, there is a student talking to his father with the

words that “Why am I going to school if my phone already knows

everything?” How vivid is the picture to show the young generations’

dependence on high technologies such as the phone. But in my opinion,

high technologies cannot replace going to school at all.

Three points can account for my view. Firstly, without going to

school, we cannot learn basic knowledge and ethics that phones are

unable to teach us. Secondly, without going to school, we cannot learn

skills to make good use of high technologies. Thirdly, without going to

school, we cannot learn disciplines and unity with people around us. In

school, not only do we acquire knowledge but we learn how to communicate

with people.

In a word, no matter how high technologies are powerful, they totally cannot replace going to school.

【参考范文二】

As is illustrated in the picture, a pupil is asking his father why

he is going to school if his phone already knows everything. It can be

known that the pupil lacks a thorough understanding of going to school.

Compared with the phone, there are certain things that can be only

achieved by going to school. In the first place, going to school endows

us with the experiences of getting along with others. Only by contacting

people can our interpersonal skills be developed. The phone only

provides information in an environment where there is just the phone and

you. Secondly, you can consult your teacher face to face about any

detail of your question, which cannot be done on your phone. Last but

not least, school is a place where you can learn to be independent. If

you stay with your parents all the time, you will never truly grow up.

To conclude, it’s a necessity for kids to go to school. It is a

truth which should be well acknowledged that school can never be

replaced by the phone.

Section B

The Changes Facing Fast Food

A)Fast-food

firms have to be a thick-skinned bunch.Health experts regularly

criticise them severelyfor selling food that makes people fat.Critics

even complain that McDonald's, whose logosymbolises calorie excess,

should not have been allowed to sponsor the World Cup.These arethings

fast-food firms have learnt to cope with.But not perhaps for much

longer.The burgerbusiness faces more pressure from regulators at a time

when it is already adapting strategies inresponse to shifts in the

global economy.

B)Fast food was once thought to be

recession-proof.When consumers need to cut spending, the logicgoes,

cheap meals like Big Macs and Whoppers become even more attractive.Such

"trading down"proved true for much of the latest recession, when

fast-food companies picked up customers who could no longer afford to

eat at casual restaurants.Traffic was boosted in America, the home of

fast food, with discounts and promotions, such as $1 menus and cheap

combination meals.

C)As a result, fast-food chains have weathered

the recession better than their more expensive competitors.In 2009 sales

at full-service restaurants in America fell by more than 6% , but total

sales remained about the same at fast-food chains.In some markets, such

as Japan, France and Britain, total spending on fast food

increased.Same-store sales in America at McDonald's, the world's largest

fast-food company, did not decline throughout the downturn.Panera

Bread, an American fast-food chain known for its fresh ingredients,

performed well, too, because it offers higher-quality food at lower

prices than restaurants.

D)But not all fast-food companies have

been as fortunate.Many, such as Burger King, have seen sales fall.In a

severe recession, while some people trade down to fast food, many others

eat at home more frequently to save money.David Palmer, an analyst at

UBS, a bank, says smaller fast- food chains in America, such as Jack in

the Box and Carl's Jr., have been hit particularly hard in this downturn

because they are competing with the global giant McDonald's, which

increased spending on advertising by more than 7% last year as others

cut back.

E)Some fast-food companies also sacrificed their own

profits by trying to give customers better value.During the recession

companies set prices low, hoping that once they had tempted customers

through the door they would be persuaded to order more expensive

items.But in many cases that strategy did not work.Last year Burger King

franchisees (特许经营人)sued (起诉)the company over its double-cheeseburger

promotion, claiming it was unfair for them to be repuired to sell these

for $1 when they cost$1.10 to make.In May a judge ruled in favour of

Burger King.Nevertheless, the company may still be cursing its decision

to promote cheap choices over more expensive ones because items on its

"value menu" now account for around 20% of all sales, upfrom 12% last

October.

F)Analysts expect the fast-food industry to grow modestly

this year.But the downturn is makingcompanies rethink their

strategies.Many are now introducing higher-priced items to entice

(引诱)consumers away from $1 specials.KFC, a division of Yum! Brands,

which also owns Taco Belland Pizza Hut, has launched a chicken sandwich

that costs around $5.And in May Burger Kingintroduced barbecue (烧烤)pork

ribs at $7 for eight.

G)Companies are also trying to get customers

to buy new and more items, including drinks.McDonald's started selling

better coffee as a challenge to Starbucks.Its " McCafe" line nowaccounts

for an estimated 6% of sales in America.Starbucks has sold rights to

its Seattle's Bestcoffee brand to Burger King, which will start selling

it later this year.

H)As fast-food companies shift from "super

size" to "more buys", they need to keep customer traffichigh throughout

the day.Many see breakfast as a big opporttmity, and not just for fatty

food.McDonald's will start selling porridge (粥)in America next

year.Breakfast has the potential to bevery profitable, says Sara

Senatore of Bernstein, a research firm, because the margins can be

high.Fast-food companies are also adding midday and late-night snacks,

such as blended drinks andwraps.The idea is that by having a greater

range of things on the menu, "we can sell to consumersproducts they want

all day," says Rick Carucci., the .chief financial officer of Yum !

Brands.

I)But what about those growing waistlines? So far,

fast-food firms have cleverly avoided governmentregulation.By providing

healthy options, like salads and low-calorie sandwiches, they have at

leastgiven the impression of doing something about helping to fight

obesity (肥胖症).These offeringsare not necessarily loss-leaders, as they

broaden the appeal of outlets to groups of diners thatinclude some

people who don't want to eat a burger.But customers cannot be forced to

ordersalads instead of fries.

J)In the future, simply offering a

healthy option may not be good enough."Every packaged-food and

restaurant company I know is concerned about regulation right now," says

Mr.Palmer of UBS.America's health-reform bill, which Congress passed

this year, requires restaurant chains with 20 ormore outlets to put the

calorie-content of items they serve on the menu.A study by the

NationalBureau of Economic Research, which tracked the effects on

Starbucks of a similar calorie-postinglaw in New York City in 2007,

found that the average calorie-count per transaction fell 6% andrevenue

increased 3% at Starbucks stores where a Dunldn Donuts outlet was

nearby--a sign, it issaid, that menu-labelling could favour chains that

have more healthy offerings.

K)In order to avoid other legislation

in America and elsewhere, fast-food companies will have tocontinue

innovating (创新).Walt Riker of McDonald's claims the change it has made

in its menumeans it offers more healthy items than it did a few years

ago."We probably sell more vegetables,more milk, more salads, more

apples than any restaurant business in the world," he says.But therecent

proposal by a county in California to ban McDonald's from including

toys in its high-calorie"Happy Meals", because legislators believe it

attracts children to unhealthy food, suggests there isa lot more left to

do.

46.Some people propose laws be made to stop McDonald's from attaching toys to its food specials for children.(K)

47.Fast-food finns may not be able to cope with pressures from food regulation in the near future.(A)

48.Burger King will start to sell Seattle's Best coffee to increase sales.(G)

49.Some fast-food firms provide healthy food to give the impression they are helping to tackle the obesity problem.(I)

50.During the recession, many customers turned to fast food to save money.(B)

51.Many people eat out less often to save money in times of recession.(D)

52.During the recession, Burger King's promotional strategy of offering low-priced items often proved ineffective.(E)

53.Fast-food restaurants can make a lot of money by selling breakfast.(H)

54.Many fast-food companies now expect to increase their revenue by introducing higher-priced items.(F)

55.A newly-passed law asks big fast-food chains to specify the calorie count of what they serve on the menu.(J)
