　　(2015·苏州调研)One of the hottest buzzwords in China right now is no doubt tuhao, a sarcastic, light­hearted term referring to rich people of little education, bad taste or lacking self­awareness.

　　This is yet another example of smart Chinese Internet users applying their creativity to an aged phrase and giving it new life and meaning. The term, which literally means “country bully”， has been around since ancient times, when it was used to refer to rich and powerful rural and lords.

　　However, the meaning of the word changed significantly when it was adapted a few years ago by Chinese players of the wildly popular computer game “World of Warcraft” to refer to rich players who spend big money buying powerful virtual weapons. Because they don?t improve their skills by playing, these players are considered silly, uncultured, and unprofessional.

　　But that is not the end of tuhao?s new life story. The renewed popularity of the term also coincides with (同时发生) the emergence (出现) of the Chinese “nouveau riche” — a generation of businessmen and women, property owners and entrepreneurs who have rapidly accumulated large amounts of wealth in recent years.

　　Similar to the many rags­to­riches stories in human history, many Chinese billionaires who are on the global rich list do not come from well­educated or prestigious (声望很高的) backgrounds. Rather, they achieved financial success through powerful connections, smart investments, and by riding out China’s economic boom. Many of them don?t shy away from throwing their money around, yet we are often reminded of their lack of manners, taste and cultural sensitivity.

　　As a result, a term that was popularized in the gaming world has now also been introduced into daily conversation.

　　Trendy, young Internet users, who see themselves as the opposite of tuhao — not wealthy, but well­educated and cultured — have further popularized the term by using it in various comic situations. For example, the phrase “let?s be friends, tuhao” became hot after it appeared in an online joke about a conversation between a rich young man and a wise monk. When Apple released its much anticipated iPhone 5S in September, Chinese Internet users accurately predicted the great popularity of the new golden­colored models among Chinese consumers, and named it “tuhao gold”， to make fun of the taste of rich Chinese people.

　　Ⅱ.书面表达(满分25分)

　　(2015·宿迁高三调研)请阅读下面短文，并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。

　　How many times have you heard the expression that most people spend more time planning their vacation than they do planning their lives. I would expand that expression by adding that most people spend more time “thinking” about their vacation than they do thinking about what?s important in their life.

　　While rest and relaxation are a must in living a balanced life, it?s not what we were created to do. After all, the Master Creator took his R&R (Rest and Recreation) on the seventh day, only after six days of “definitely directed thought”．

　　Wallace D. Wattles, wrote “There is no labor from which most people shrink as they do from that of sustained and continuous thought; it is the hardest work in the world.” And yet it is the first and primary labor of achievement.

　　What is your life’s purpose or your personal mission statement? Is it written down? Do you review it and think about it often? Is your life organized around your purpose and a set of goals that support that purpose?

　　Without purpose and goals — definitely directed thought — you are like the proverbial “ship without a rudder(舵)”. There is power in your purpose and in your goals. It is the power that takes you over obstacles, the fuel that pushes you toward the life you expect.

　　Ⅱ.参考范文：

　　Despite the fact that constructing your future with goals is tough, it does make a difference during the process of your life, as it guarantees your right direction of constant achievements.

　　Personally, it can never be too true that life can not shine without goals. No matter what you do, so long as you are determined to achieve, goals are necessary.

　　Everybody has his own goals with no exception of me. Being a useful man to society is my long­term goal. However, at present, to an ideal university is undoubtedly my desire. Few people can survive well unless equipped with abundant knowledge.

　　In an effort to realize my dream, hard work seems the best and only choice. Not only will I make my study plans in detail, but the most important is to put my plans into real action. Only with great efforts can I attain further education and eventually step into future with great confidence.
