20.答案：C

解析：W: What is life like for today's students? How do they treat money? As the university and college terms began, I interviewed a few students. Sarah is a second-year biology student. She says that money is a big problem. She can eat cheaply at university, but she spends quite a lot on transport. She also spends quite a lot on stylish clothes. Colin, who is studying engineering, says that he doesn't spend anything on clothes unless counting climbing shoes and special tools, some of which are very expensive. Not much of his money goes on transport because he likes to ride his bike around. Diana is a first-year designing student. She makes all her own clothes. This should save her money. But in fact, the materials are very expensive. She does not know how she would manage if she did not sell some of the dresses and hats she made to other students. She says that everything is expensive. That includes rent, food, transport and heating for the flat in winter. Jack is a science student. He doesn't spend much money on clothes but his rent is high and he spends quite a lot on books, so he is doing part-time jobs to afford all of these.

第二节 (满分25分)

【示例】

Paragraph 1:

Finally, the older of the two women came over. Here came the bad luck, I thought. She completely surprised me when she said, “Honey, stop shushing your boy. Clearly, he has something important to say. He can talk as much as he wants. I want to hear everything he wishes to say.” Smiling, she added, “You have a lovely boy. Relax and enjoy your dinner—and don’t let him forget the chocolate cake.” Sam smiled because finally, someone wanted him to do what he did best: make noise and eat chocolate cake.

Paragraph 2:

It turned out to be a perfect night. I met a wonderful woman who was clearly god-sent. Sam found the chocolate cake to be heavenly, too. I will always remember that lovely lady. Her kindness meant the world to a stressed-out mom. Whenever she is, we’re sending her lots of thanks. Her kind words do not cost much. Yet they achieve much.
