最重要的是，图书馆作为重要的学术设施以及学生和教师不可缺少的研究场所，应该将这些有限的宝贵资源保留给其授权的我们。如果大学选择向公众开放图书馆，很可能会有大量的人涌入这个地方，使许多大学生和教师无法完成他们的学术工作。此外，当太多的市民挤进图书馆，会有不必要的谈话，笑，争吵，甚至追逐，造成这样或那样的混乱。

总之，这种做法的优点大于缺点。因此，向公众开放大学图书馆绝不能提上大学的议程。

The lunar calendar, which originated from China thousands of years ago, was set by the moving law of the sun and the moon. For a long period of time, such a calendar has played a very important role in agricultural production and people's daily life. Ancient chinese arranged their farm work by the date of the lunar calendar to make the best use of natural re-sources and climate and improve the quality and yield crops. Traditional chinese festivals such as the Spring Festival and the Mid-autumn Festival are based on the lunar calendar. It is a significant part of traditional Chinese culture which is still widely used today.

Directions: Let's say your university is soliciting opinions from students on whether university dining halls should be open to the public. You will have 30 minutes for the task. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.

In the modern era, there is a heated debate regarding whether the university's canteens should be open to the public. Some believe that it will do us more good than harm, while others argue that it will pose a threat to the order and operation of the university. In my view, the university should recognize that this has both pros and cons.Let's start with the advantages. First, it allows the public to enjoy the diverse and delicious food offered by university canteens. This can enhance the reputation of the university and foster a stronger relationship between the university and the local community. Second, it can also generate additional revenue for the university, which can be used to improve the facilities and services provided to students . However, there are also potential drawbacks to consider. For in-stance, the increased number of people using the canteen may lead to overcrowding and longer waiting times for students during peak hours. Additionally, the public may have different preferences and dietary requirements compared to students, which could affect the menu options available and potentially increase costs.

In conclusion, the university should weigh the merits and demerits so that it can provide the best possible experience for both students and members of the public.

在现代，关于大学食堂是否应该向公众开放存在着激烈的争论。一些人认为这对我们利大于弊，而另一些人则认为这将对大学的秩序和运作构成威胁。在我看来，大学应该认识到这有利也有弊。首先，它可以让公众享受到大学食堂提供的多样化和美味的食物。这可以提高大学的声誉，并促进大学与当地网站之间更牢固的关系。其次，它还可以为大学带来额外的收入，这些收入可以用来改善为学生提供的设施和服务。然而，也有潜在的缺点需要考虑。例如，使用食堂的人数增加可能会导致拥挤，学生在高峰时间等待的时间更长。此外，与学生相比，公众可能有不同的偏好和饮食要求，这可能会影响菜单的选择，并可能增加成本。总之，大学应该权衡利弊，以便为学生和公众提供最好的体验。

Siheyuan is a traditional chinese residential construction which is characterized with houses built around a courtyard.Siheyuan is usually warm in winter and cool in summer with the living environment so comfortable that it is especially suitable for a large family to live in.

Nowadays, with the development of modern cities, traditional Siheyuan buildings are decreasing gradually, However, with its unique architecture style, siheyuan still plays a significant role in the inheritance of chinese cultures and the study of chinese history.

Part I Writing (25 minutes)

(请于正式开考后半小时内完成该部分，之后将进行听力考试)

Directions: Let's say your university is seeking input from students on whether college sports facilities should be open to the public.You will have 30 minutes for the task. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.

After the epidemic, there is a heated debate regarding whether university sports facilities should be open to the public. Some believe that it will bring the society much benefits, while others argue that it will pose a threat to the security of college students. In my view, we need to recognize that opening sports facilities to the public has more pros than cons.

First, it has dramatically improved the health level of the whole society. People can exercise on the playground to invigorate health effectively, reduce the risk of heart disease, and lower the odds of obesity, which not only prolong people's life but also curtail the whole expenditure of healthcare. Second, making university sports facilities available to the public contributes to the cost-cutting of the government. If the campus sports facilities are not open to the public, government will also build them elsewhere, which is bound to increase its budget pressure.In the mean time, the utilization of sports facilities in schools will also be reduced if the public cannot access to them, resulting wasting of resources.

In conclusion, although too many “non-students" might cause security problem toward the university, this can be overcome by strict.er regulation, while allowing people to use sports facilities in the campus will undoubtedly bring a great deal of benefits to the whole society.

疫情爆发后，关于大学体育设施是否应该向公众开放的问题引发了激烈的争论。一些人认为这会给社会带来很多好处，而另一些人则认为这会对大学生的安全构成威胁。在我看来，我们需要认识到向公众开放体育设施利大于弊。

首先，它极大地提高了整个社会的健康水平。人们可以在操场上锻炼，有效地健体，降低患心脏病的风险，降低肥胖的几率，既延长了人们的寿命，又减少了医疗保健的整体支出。第二，向公众开放大学体育设施有助于政府削减成本。如果校园体育设施不向公众开放，政府也会在其他地方建造，这势必会增加预算压力。同时，如果公众无法使用学校体育设施，学校体育设施的利用率也会降低，从而造成资源的浪费。

总之，虽然太多的“非学生”可能会对大学造成安全问题，但这可以通过严格的管理来克服。然而，允许人们使用校园体育设施无疑会给整个社会带来很多好处。
