　　考试时间：2011年12月17日
　　考试地点：上海交大工科
　　issue：
　　Governments should offer a free university education to any student who has been admitted to a university but who cannot afford the tuition.
　　argument：
　　The following is a recommendation from the business manager of Monarch Books.
　　"Since its opening in Collegeville twenty years ago, Monarch Books has developed a large customer base due to its reader-friendly atmosphere and wide selection of books on all subjects. Last month, Book and Bean, a combination bookstore and coffee shop, announced its intention to open a Collegeville store. Monarch Books should open its own in-store café in the space currently devoted to children’s books. Given recent national census data indicating a significant decline in the percentage of the population under age ten, sales of children’s books are likely to decline. By replacing its children’s books section with a café, Monarch Books can increase profits and ward off competition from Book and Bean."
