【政府類】政府是否應徵收高峰期通行費
In some cities, the government has tried to reduce traffic. For instance, they imposed a congestion tax during rush hour. Do you think this development is positive or negative? 在一些城市，政府試圖緩解交通壓力，例如，徵收高峰期通行費，你認為有力還是有弊?(2016年1月30日)
【考情點評】本場考試雅思選取託福題庫，該題在託福考試中連續兩年考察。
Drivers should pay a certain amount of fees so that they can be permitted to drive out in traffic busy time. Do you agree or disagree the statement? (2008年7月12日 = 2007年1月14日)
【頭腦風暴】新加坡在1975年引入了交通阻礙費，隨後，很多國家也效仿其做法。統計顯示：此類費用可使交通量減少10%—20%，同時，可以將車流速度提高20%。
【作家立場】 我支持司機們應當支付一定的費用，取得「城市高峰通行許可證」，才能在高峰期間上路。
【思路拓展】
司機付費的利好：
① 這種做法可以有效地緩解交通擁堵的壓力，同時，這可以有效地緩解空氣汙染和噪音汙染。
② 這種做法可以節省職場人士上下班的交通時間。
司機付費的弊端：
① 即使是每天付少量費用，也會增加司機經濟的壓力，但是，我想反駁的是：等候的時間的油料消耗可能比支付的交通通行費更高。

【範文賞析】
【首段】背景介紹 + 作家立場
Going through the rush hours is a tiresome business. The prevalence of various public transport has led to severe traffic congestion，especially during the rush hours. Being stuck in the long queues of vehicles seems to be a big headache for many city dwellers. Personally speaking, it is about time governments adopted effective measures, drivers should be charged when they need to drive out in a heavy traffic, which will exert a really positive impact on reducing the serious traffic conditions.
【二段】 第一次支持作家立場
For a start, paying some permission fees could decrease the incidence of going through the busy traffic. To be more specific, some drivers would be unwilling to drive their cars in order to save money when they have no urgent things. Hence，this will mitigate the pressure of heavy traffic congestion. Further, the decreasing number of cars will also purify the air and reduce the noise. As a result, the living quality of the whole city will be greatly optimized, citizens will enjoy a cleaner environment.
【三段】 第二次支持作家立場
This debate reminds me of my own city. Our city government has fewer policies in terms of tackling the pressure of traffic congestion, which negatively influences people’s normal work. The large amount of release of exhaust gas has deteriorated the environment. Even worse, long time wait will ruin the drivers』 moods. Consequently, some people might fail to happily perform their working tasks when they arrive at the workplace. By contrast, the fee from drivers increases the governmental income so that more financial budget could be allocated to perfecting the traffic conditions. Specifically, the government could build more over-bridges to reduce the pressure of traffic jam.
【四段】 讓步向司機收費的弊端 + 加以反駁
Granted, I have to concede that this policy might impose much pressure upon the drivers economically. If they pay even limited amount of money every day, then there will be large sums of money as a whole. What I want to rebut, however, is that in time of a traffic jam, the oil consumption is much more than that of driving a slowly moving car. The cost of gasoline may be even expensive than the counterpart people pay for driving permission.
【尾段】 再次亮明觀點
In closing, I re-affirm my conviction that it is worthwhile to ask for driving permission fees when the traffic is busy.
【經典語料】
1. is a tiresome business 是一件很讓人心煩的事情
2. the prevalence of various public transport 各種公共運輸工具的普及
3. serious traffic congestion = severe traffic jam = a heavy traffic 嚴重的交通擁堵
4. driving permission 交通通行費
5. should be charged 應該被收費
6. the rush hours 上下班的高峰期
7. drive through 乘車穿過
8. impose much pressure upon the drivers economically 增加了司機的經濟壓力
9. exert a really positive impact on 對於……施加利好的影響
10. decrease the incidence of 減少……發生的機率
11. mitigate the pressure of heavy traffic congestion 緩解交通擁堵的壓力
12. release of exhaust gas 廢氣的釋放
13. ruin the drivers』 moods 使司機的心情變壞
14. Charging traffic jam fees will definitely help ease the pressure of heavy traffic. 收取交通阻礙費一定可以幫助緩解交通的壓力。
15. During the busy traffic time，it is a wise attempt to encourage drivers to pay a certain amount of fees to perfect current traffic conditions. 為改善當前的交通狀況，在交通尖峰時段，向司機收取一定的費用是明智的嘗試。
