Shopping on the Net Nowadays Internet is revolutionizing our globe and greatly
facilitating our modern life. As a matter of fact, we can do almost everything on the Net. To illustrate, we can conduct e-business, advertise our products, book an air ticket, buy and sell stocks, even hunt a job on the Web. Recently, shopping on the Net is gradually becoming popular in big cities. However, people take different attitudes toward the new way of shopping.
People, who prefer shopping on the virtual shopping centers or the e-commerce portals, hold that the new way of shopping has many advantages. First, the web-stores can keep customers updated with the best selling products. Besides, they can provide customers with a wider range of choices. Most important of all, it is very convenient and time-saving. People can stay at home shopping whatever they want online.
However, others who stick to shopping in the real-life stores have their reasons. First, they argue that though time-saving, it's a little bit complicated to pay on the Web. Besides, they think that customers can never rest assured of the quality of the commodities unless they see them with their own eyes. Finally, they believe that the best way to be on guard

against fake and poor quality commodities is to shop in the traditional way. Therefore, they don't show any interest in shopping online. However, more and more people will prefer shopping on the Web. And it's believed that it will eventually be an irresistible trend of shopping in the future. [审题]
这是一篇各抒己见类的议论文。这类文章可以从两个方面着手，即网上购物的利与弊，分析这一社会热点问题。网上购物有以下好处：推出最好的商品；购物者有更广阔的选择空间；方便省时。但网上购物也有弊端：付款方式复杂；无法确保商品质量；只有在现实的商场购物才能防止购买假冒伪劣商品。但随着网上购物的规范化，它会成为未来的主要购物方式之一。文章应充分考虑到网上购物的两面性，这样才能论述严密，理由充分，准确地表达出题目的中心意思。 二、Writing(Note-Writing)（本大题1小题．每题10.0分，共10.0分。Write a note of about 50—60 words based on the following situation:） 第1题

【正确答案】：
[听力原文]
There are very often strong opinions expressed about what makes a good .wine. At a simple level, a good wine is one that you enjoy drinking. But why do you prefer one wine to another?
To judge a wine there are three basic senses that have to be employed: the sense of sight, the sense of smell, and the sense of taste. Of these three, taste is by far the most complex, but sight and smell are powerful. The wrong colour or the wrong smell enable a wine to be discarded without taste even being involved.
Having examined the wine, you can now get on and drink it. But try and remember your conclusions, for it is only by building up your own personal taste bank memory that you can progress as a wine taster. It is not difficult, and it is great fun. Cheers!
