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。
