    Marks will be awarded for content relevance, content sufficiency, organization and language quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks.
    Yes:
    International charity groups can take advantage of the publicity of celebrities. With many high-profile figures, such as famous singers, movie stars and star athletes, joining in the promotion of charitable activities, the activities or campaigns of international charity organizations can be responded immediately.
    As an eyeball-catching group, famous people should and could pass on their positive influence, for the words and deeds of those top stars could set a good example for the public.
    Celebrities, as a respectable group, usually live under the spotlight, receive maximum praise and considerable economic rewards. Hence, they are expected to make their unique contribution to the society as a returned favor. By making a donation to the charity appeal, they fulfill their social responsibilities, show their kindness to the needed, and therefore get a sense of satisfaction.
    No:
    A small group of celebrities don’t gain much popularity and can’t bring any convenience to international aid organizations. Although some celebrities give their support to these organizations outwardly, they don’t bring any tangible help.
    Stars’ individual contributions are limited and thus less significant in terms of resolving some international problems such as helping the population of poverty-stricken countries shake off poverty or tackling global environmental problems.
    The influence of celebrities might be a double-edged sword. If some stars fail to practice what they preach, the public might lose confidence in the organizations they have publicized.

答案 Is the Celebrity Effect Useful? With a sea of reports about celebrities’ love affairs, drug abuse and other bad deeds, many people think they have set negative examples for adolescents. As a result, citizens may doubt their motive when they provide support for international aid organizations and even the reliability of the philanthropic organizations. However, it has also been argued that famous people can help raise large amounts of money as well as draw public attention to charity. Personally speaking, the involvement of notables in international charity can draw high attention to the plight of the country concerned. Firstly, luminaries themselves can not only make substantial donation to the needy groups but also call on more people to provide assistance. Furthermore, celebrities play an important role in publicizing charity culture and mobilizing international support. Last but not least, idolaters, most of whom are youths, are used to blindly following every aspect of celebrities’ behavior. Therefore, more young people will be likely to participate in the charity activities, which will make international aid organizations get twice the result with half the effort. In conclusion, everyone has an obligation to contribute as much as he can to the international charity, not to mention famous people. Celebrity philanthropy is a must, but the celebrity effect should be used appropriately.
解析     本题讨论的是名人对国际援助组织的支持是否有助于提升人们对慈善的关注度。在具体行文方面，考生首先要总结材料，概述正反双方的观点。然后给出自己的观点：名人参与国际慈善事业确实能够使人们高度关注相关问题。最后总结全文。
    开头部分阐述背景，引出话题：由于名人的负面新闻给青少年树立了消极的榜样，因此当名人对国际援助组织提供帮助时，市民不仅质疑其动机，甚至还会怀疑慈善组织的可靠性。接着提出对立观点：名人对国际援助组织的支持不仅有助于筹集大量捐款，还能吸引公众关注慈善事业。
    中间部分通过“Personally speaking…”阐述自己的观点：名人参与国际慈善事业确实能够使人们关注到相关国家的困难。并用“Firstly…”“Furthermore…”和 “Last but not least…”阐述理由：名人不仅自己能够给需要帮助的人捐献大量资金，还能够号召更多的人提供帮助；借助明星效应，名人在宣传慈善文化和动员国际援助方面发挥着很大的作用；追星族大多数都是年轻人，他们盲目地模仿名人各个方面的行为，因此，更多的年轻人也很有可能参与到慈善活动中去，从而使国际援助组织收到事半功倍的效果。
    结尾部分通过“In conclusion…”总结全文。
