6、就業(yè)
Directions: For this part you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic Jobs for Graduates.You should write at least 120 words and base your composition on the outline below:
1、大學(xué)生難找工作,2、原因很多,3、解決的辦法。
Job hunting has always been a headache for college students.Though many graduates are employed right after graduation, some are not.Most serious of all, some still have no idea where to go working even a long time after graduation.The reasons for this phenomenon are various.On the one hand, a few years ago colleges and universities enrolled so many students in popular majors, such as economy, finance and so on that the number of graduates was greater than the need in the market.On the other hand, most graduates would rather stay in large cities without suitable job to do than go to the country.I reckon this problem can be solved if both colleges and students take measures.First, they should research the market and develop special skills to suit its need.Second, students’ attitude towards employment should be changed.They should go to small cities and country.There they can also give full play to their professional knowledge.In a word, if we pay much attention, the situation can be improved.7、考試
Directions: For this part you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic My Views on Examinations.You should write at least 120 words and base your composition on the outline below:
1、大學(xué)都用考試來衡量學(xué)生的成績
2、考生可能帶來的副作用
3、我對(duì)考試的看法 In most colleges and universities the examination is used as a chief means of deciding whether a student succeeds or fails in mastering a particular subject.Although it does the job quite efficiently, its side effects are also enormous.To begin with, examinations lower the standards of teaching.Since teachers are often judged by examination results, they are reduced to training their students in exam techniques.No subjects can be taught successfully merely through being approached with intent to take examinations.In addition, the most undesirable effect is that examinations encourage bad study habits.As the examination score is the only criterion for his academic performance, a student is driven to memorize mechanically rather than to think creatively.In fact, few of us admit that examinations can contribute anything really important to the students’ academic development.If that is the case, why cannot we make a change and devise something more efficient and reliable than examinations?
8、讀后感:
Directions: For this part you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic My Favorite Novel.You should write at least 120 words and base your composition on the outline below:
1、我最喜愛的小說是···
2、該小說的內(nèi)容
3、我為什么喜愛
My favorite novel is Around the World in Eighty Days which is written by Jules Verne.The author was born in France and devoted himself to literature and wrote several scientific romances, which gained him the name——Father of Modern Science Fiction.This is a book of science fiction which tells us an exciting story about an English gentleman, Mr.Phileas Fogg, who makes a bet with his clubmates and manages to travel around the world in eighty days.It gives us a vivid description of the many difficulties and incidents which happen on his journey.From this story, we can see the author’s deep love for the sea, travel and adventure, which played a vital role in his life.We are also astonished and convinced by his fertile imagination and scientific and geographical knowledge.9、難忘的人:
Directions: For this part you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic The most unforgettable Person I ever Know.You should write at least 120 words and base your composition on the outline below:
1、我生活中最難忘的人是······
2、為什么他(或她)令我難以忘懷
3、結(jié)論
In my life I have met a great many people who are really worth recalling.But perhaps the most unforgettable person I ever know is my English teacher.What frequently brings back memories of my school teacher is his special qualities.First and foremost, he gave us the greatest gift a teacher can offer—an awakening of a passion for learning.He not only led us to an appreciation of the beauty and perfection of English language and literature, but also aroused our great interest in exploring something deeper in this field.Furthermore, I was attracted by his lively wit.I remember that we students always anticipated his class with great eagerness because his lecture were humorously delivered, never failing to provoke chuckles or loud laughs.Although it is nearly two years since I attended his last class, he is the talk of our old classmates, and I know part of him has already stayed in my heart.10、論說文框架:
Owing to the speedy economic development, the number of people who?has considerably increased/declined.It is universally acknowledged that ? plays a crucial role in modern society.Due attention has to be paid to the issue of?.With the reform and opening-up in recent decades,people in mounting numbers have come to realize the significance of ?.If we let this situation continue as it is, we do not know where humans will be in the forthcoming future.Accordingly, it is imperative for us to take drastic measures.To begin with, we should appeal to the authorities to make strict laws to ?.In addition, we should cultivate the awareness of people that ? is essential to us.Only in this way can we reverse this disturbing trend illustrated above.英語四級(jí)寫作經(jīng)典范文及點(diǎn)評(píng):學(xué)習(xí)一生的事業(yè)
Learning: a Lifelong Career
As food is to the body, so is learning to the mind.①Our bodies grow and muscles develop with the intake of adequate nutritious food.Likewise, we should keep learning day by day to maintain our keen mental power and expand our intellectual capacity.Constant learning supplies us with inexhaustible fuel for driving us to sharpen our power of reasoning, analysis, and judgment.② Learning incessantly is the surest way to keep pace with the times in the information age, and reliable warrant of success in times of uncertainty.Once learning stops, vegetation sets in.It is a common fallacy to regard school as the only workshop for the acquisition of knowledge.On the contrary, learning should be a never ending process, from the cradle to the grave.With the world changing so fast, to cease learning for just a few days will make a person lag behind.What’ s worse, the animal instinct dormant deep in our sub-conscious will come to life, weakening our will to pursue our noble ideas, undermining our determination to sweep away obstacles to our success and strangling our desire for the refinement of our character.Lack of learning will inevitably lead to the stagnation of the mind, or even worse, its fossilization.③ Therefore, to stay mentally young, we have to take learning as a lifelong career.[224 words]
行文點(diǎn)評(píng)
本文首先從正面論證主題,首句點(diǎn)題,并通過對(duì)首句的解釋進(jìn)一步說明終生學(xué)習(xí)的意義。之后作者結(jié)合時(shí)代變化的特征,用the surest way以及reliable warrant說明了持續(xù)學(xué)習(xí)的現(xiàn)實(shí)意義。第二段作者從反面來論證自己的觀點(diǎn),說明停止學(xué)習(xí)會(huì)導(dǎo)致的嚴(yán)重后果。最后用therefore引出全文的結(jié)束語,再次重申觀點(diǎn),并與文章題目相呼應(yīng)。
本文開篇引用As...is to..., so is...to...的經(jīng)典句型開門見山,將學(xué)習(xí)對(duì)心智的重要性比作食物對(duì)身體的重要性,生動(dòng)形象。行文流暢,并能結(jié)合時(shí)代特征;首尾呼應(yīng),畫龍點(diǎn)睛。
好文妙譯
學(xué)習(xí):一生的事業(yè)
學(xué)習(xí)之于心智,就像食物之于身體一樣。攝取了適量的營養(yǎng)食物,我們的身體得以生長而肌肉得以發(fā)達(dá)。同樣地,我們應(yīng)該日復(fù)一日不斷地學(xué)習(xí)以保持我們心智的敏銳,并增長我們的智力。不斷的學(xué)習(xí)像是為我們的前進(jìn)提供了用之不盡的能量,驅(qū)使我們磨礪自身推理、分析和判斷的能力。持續(xù)的學(xué)習(xí)是在信息時(shí)代中與時(shí)俱進(jìn)的最穩(wěn)妥的方法,也是在無常變化的時(shí)代中求得成功的可靠保證。
一旦學(xué)習(xí)停止,單調(diào)貧乏的生活就開始了。視學(xué)校為汲取知識(shí)的惟一場所是種常見的謬誤。相反,從生到死,學(xué)習(xí)應(yīng)該是一種無終止的歷程。由于世界變化日新月異,學(xué)習(xí)過程停頓幾天,就會(huì)使人落后。而更為糟糕的是,蟄伏在我們潛意識(shí)深處的動(dòng)物本能就會(huì)復(fù)活,削 弱我們追求高尚理想的意志,弱化我們掃除成功障礙的決心,并且扼殺我們凈化自身人格的追求。缺少學(xué)習(xí)將不可避免地導(dǎo)致心智的停滯,甚至更糟,使其僵化。因此,為了保持青春永駐,我們必須將學(xué)習(xí)當(dāng)作一生的事業(yè)。

warrant n.授權(quán)令,(正當(dāng))理由,根據(jù);vt.證明?是正當(dāng)?shù)?fallacy n.謬誤,謬論
cradle n.搖籃,發(fā)源地

佳句臨摹
①【注釋】As A is to B, so is C to D.A之于B就如同C之于D一樣
【臨摹】As water is to the fish, so is book to the human being.書之于人類就如同水之于魚。
②【注釋】本句用了比喻的手法將fuel“燃料”比做能量,使行文更加生動(dòng),比喻法是寫作中的常用手法,為文章增色添加亮點(diǎn)。
【臨摹】He doesn’t have an idea of his own.He just parrots what other people say.他沒有自己的觀點(diǎn),只會(huì)鸚鵡學(xué)舌。
③【注釋】or even worse 或甚至更糟糕,這是一種遞進(jìn)的表達(dá)方法。
【臨摹】Some people lived in a completely wrong way: they waste money and time, and even worse, they don’t realize their mistakes yet.有些人以一種極為錯(cuò)誤的方式活著,他們浪費(fèi)著金錢和時(shí)間。更為糟糕的是,他們還沒有認(rèn)識(shí)到他們做錯(cuò)了。

Just at the Beginning
“We are reading the first verse of the first chapter of a book whose pages are infinite.”
I do not know who wrote those words, but I have always liked them as a reminder that the future can be anything we want to make it.We can take the mysterious, hazy future and carve out of it anything that we can imagine, just like a sculptor carves a statue from a shapeless stone.We are all in the position of the farmer.If we plant a good seed, we reap a good harvest.If our seed is poor and full of weeds, we reap a useless crop.If we plant nothing at all, we harvest nothing at all.I want the future to be better than the past.I don’t want it contaminated by the mistakes and errors with which history is filled.We should all be concerned about the future because that is where we will spend the reminder of our lives.① The past is gone and static.Nothing we can do will change it.② The future is before us and dynamic.Everything we do will affect it.Each day will brings with it new frontiers, in our homes and in our businesses, if we will only recognize them.We are just at the beginning of the progress in every field of human endeavor.[230 words]
行文點(diǎn)評(píng)
本文雖然短小,但人生道理卻深寓其中。首段首句的引文直指主題,隨后在下一段中進(jìn)行了闡釋,提出自己的觀點(diǎn):未來操之在我,我們則在起跑點(diǎn),我們能掌控自己的未來。第三段將我們的生活比作農(nóng)夫的勞動(dòng),對(duì)論點(diǎn)進(jìn)行論述。接下來一段中,作者提出自己對(duì)未來的希望,最后一段進(jìn)行總結(jié),警示人們未來要靠自己掌握,重申主題。
文中多處使用比喻、對(duì)比,例如將我們比作雕塑家、農(nóng)夫,將昨天與明天相比,使得論證更加生動(dòng)形象。
好文妙譯
在起跑線上
“我們正在閱讀一本不知道多少頁數(shù)的書的第一章的第一節(jié)?”
我不知道這段文字是誰寫的,但我一直很喜歡用它來提醒自己:未來操之在我。我們可以掌握神秘而不可知的未來,從中創(chuàng)出我們所能想象的任何東西,一如雕刻家可以將一塊沒有形狀的石頭刻成雕像一樣。
我們每個(gè)人都像是一個(gè)農(nóng)夫。如果我們種下好種子,就會(huì)有豐收。如果種子不好而且田里雜草叢生,雖會(huì)有點(diǎn)兒收成但卻派不上多大用場。而如果我們什么都不種,就根本不會(huì)有任何收獲。
不管怎樣,我希望未來會(huì)比過去更好。我不希望在未來再犯下那些充斥在歷史中的錯(cuò)誤。關(guān)心未來吧,因?yàn)槲覀兊挠嗌家谖磥碇卸冗^。往昔已經(jīng)一去不復(fù)返了,而且是靜止的,任憑我們怎么努力都不能改變它了。而未來就在我們眼前,而且是動(dòng)態(tài)的,我們的任何行為都會(huì)影響到它。
如果我們能夠認(rèn)識(shí)得到,我們會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)每天都會(huì)有一些新的情況發(fā)生,在家里,還有我們的事業(yè)里。人類在每個(gè)領(lǐng)域都努力向前,而我們就處在起跑線上。
詞匯斟酌
infinite a.無窮的,無限的 mysterious a.神秘的,難以理解的 hazy a.朦朧的,煙霧彌漫的,模糊的 sculptor n.雕刻家
contaminate vt.弄臟,污染
static a.靜止的,停止的 dynamic a.有活力的,動(dòng)態(tài)的 endeavor vt.& n.盡力,努力,嘗試
佳句臨摹
①【注釋】be concerned about關(guān)心??
【臨摹】People are more and more concerned about the traffic of big city.人們越來越關(guān)注大城市的交通。
②【注釋】we can do是插入語,有助于變化句式
【臨摹】What explanation do you suppose the teacher could give? 你想老師會(huì)如何解釋?(do you suppose插入成分)
思如泉涌
Ideal is the beacon.Without ideal, there is no secure direction;without direction, there is no life.理想是指路明燈。沒有理想,就沒有堅(jiān)定的方向。沒有了方向,生活也就失去了意義。
Life is long if you know how to use it.如能善于利用,生命乃長。
英語四級(jí)寫作經(jīng)典范文及點(diǎn)評(píng):青春寄語
青春是一種心境,一種氣質(zhì)。如果你正值青春年少,那就隨著青春的脈搏一起跳動(dòng)吧;即使你已經(jīng)歲月滄桑,心態(tài)依然可以保持年輕。讓我們青春到老。
Youth
Youth is not a time of life;it is a state of mind;it is not a matter of pink cheeks, red lips and flexible knees;it is a matter of will, a quality of imagination, a vigor of the emotion, it is the freshness of the deep springs of life.Youth means a dispositional control of courage over cowardice, of the appetite for adventure over the love of ease.This often exists in a man of 60 more than a boy of 20.Nobody grows old merely by a number of years.We grow old by deserting our ideals.Years may wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.Worry, fear, self-distrust bows the heart and turns the spirit back to dust.Whether 60 or 16, there is in every human beings’ heart the looking forward to wonder, the endless child-like appetite of what’s next and the joy of the game of living.① In the center of your heart and my heart there is a wireless station: so long as it is receiving messages of beauty, hope, cheer, courage and power from men and from God, you are young.②
When the aerials are down, and your spirit is covered with snows of cynicism and the ice of pessimism, then you are grown old, even at 20, but as long as your aerials are up to catch waves of optimism, there is hope you may die young at 80.[243 words]
行文點(diǎn)評(píng)
文章一開始使用了一組排比,用四個(gè)it is ?句型給youth下了定義。第二段將60歲和20歲的人進(jìn)行對(duì)比,從而得出結(jié)論:年輕不是單純指年齡,而是指心態(tài)。讀到這里,讀者可能會(huì)提出質(zhì)疑:那要如何保持心態(tài)的年輕呢?作者緊緊抓住讀者的心理,在第四段中用a wireless station為例,形象地描述了保持年輕的方法。最后一段將對(duì)比the aerials are down和aerials are up進(jìn)行對(duì)比,提出號(hào)召:只要樂觀向上,我們就能夠永遠(yuǎn)年輕。進(jìn)一步深化了主題。
這篇散文語言優(yōu)美,內(nèi)容凝練。各段落之間有很強(qiáng)的內(nèi)在聯(lián)系,形散而神聚,全文緊緊圍繞青春這一主題,運(yùn)用排比、擬人、比喻等多種修辭方法是文章的一大亮點(diǎn),為文章增色不少。
好文妙譯
青春寄語
青春不是人生的一個(gè)時(shí)期,而是一種心境。青春不是指粉紅色的面頰、紅潤的嘴唇和靈活的膝蓋,而是指堅(jiān)強(qiáng)的意志、豐富的想象和激越的情感。青春是生命深處的一泓清泉。
青春是一種氣質(zhì):勇猛果敢而不是怯懦退縮,渴望冒險(xiǎn)而不是貪圖安逸。一個(gè)60歲的老人身上常常散發(fā)著這種氣息,而20歲的青年身上倒未必可尋。沒有人會(huì)單純因?yàn)槟隁q增長而衰老,而一旦喪失理想,就會(huì)真正變老。
年歲也許會(huì)在皮膚上生出皺紋,而熱情不在則會(huì)使心靈起皺。憂慮、恐懼、自卑都會(huì)使人心灰意懶,一蹶不振。
無論60歲還是16歲,每一個(gè)人心里都懷有對(duì)新奇事物的向往,都會(huì)像兒童一樣對(duì)未來充滿永不衰減的憧憬,都能在生活的游戲中汲取快樂。在你我的心靈中央都有一座無線電臺(tái):只要它正在接受其他人和上帝發(fā)出的美麗、希望、快樂、勇氣和力量的信息,你就會(huì)永遠(yuǎn)年輕。
當(dāng)你的天線收攏,當(dāng)你的心靈覆蓋著憤世嫉俗的霜雪和悲觀厭世的堅(jiān)冰,即使你年方二十,你也已進(jìn)入了垂暮之年。然而,只要你的天線張開,接收著樂觀向上的電波,那么你可以指望,在80歲死去時(shí)你依然年輕。
詞匯斟酌
imagination n.想象力,幻覺
dispositional a.有某種性情的 cowardice n.怯懦 膽小
appetite n.胃口,食欲
enthusiasm n.熱情,積極性
wrinkle n.皺紋;v.起皺
aerial n.天線
cynicism n.憤世嫉俗,玩世不恭
pessimism n.悲觀,悲觀主義
optimism n.樂觀,樂觀主義
佳句臨摹
①【注釋】look forward to 期望做?,盼望?
【臨摹】I am looking forward to seeing you again on the Christmas Eve.我期待著在平安夜再次見到你。
②【注釋】so long as只要,如果
【臨摹】So long as you make Mary happy I’m content.只要你能讓瑪麗高興,我就滿足了。
思如泉涌
Youth means limitless possibilities.年輕意味著無限的可能。If you do not learn to think when you are young, you may never learn.如果你年輕時(shí)不學(xué)著思考,你將永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)。

第二篇:大學(xué)英語四級(jí)寫作十大必背
大學(xué)英語四級(jí)寫作十大必背范文
1、~網(wǎng)絡(luò)游戲
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic Online Games.You should write at least 120 words, and base your composition on the outline below:
1)現(xiàn)在有些大學(xué)生沉迷于網(wǎng)絡(luò)游戲,家長和學(xué)校對(duì)此憂心忡忡,2)但有人認(rèn)為網(wǎng)絡(luò)游戲并非一無是處,3)你的看法。
Online Games As a product of modern computer and the Internet, online games have become very popular among college students.A great many students have enjoyed great pleasure and satisfaction from these games.But as we see, some students lacking self-discipline are too much indulged in these games so that their health and academic performances are affected.This phenomenon has caused much worry from the teachers and parents.However, some others argue that online games are not always harmful.They can train the ability of youngsters to respond to things quickly.Moreover, they can stimulate their imagination and their interest in computer science.More importantly, it does bring college students much pleasure and release their pressure greatly.From my point of view, online games are a wonderful entertainment if you play them in a reasonable way.When they interfere too much with your study, it is better for you to give them up at once.Yet if you have enough self-control over them, you can certainly obtain real pleasure and benefit a lot from them.2、考證熱
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic Certificate Craze on Campus.You should write at least 120 words, and base your composition on the outline below: 1)近幾年大學(xué)校園內(nèi)出現(xiàn)“考證熱”,2)產(chǎn)生這一現(xiàn)象的原因,3)你的看法。
Certificate Craze on Campus In recent years, to get a certificate has become a new craze among college students.Just randomly ask a student on campus what he or she is busy doing, quite possibly, you may get the answer that he is preparing for a certificate of some kind.Why does this craze appear? There are mainly two reasons behind this phenomenon.To begin with, it is the employment pressure that forces college students to get more certificates.With the admission expansion of colleges, a lot more graduates have to face the fierce competition in the job market.How can one make himself more competitive? More certificates at hand, maybe.Furthermore, diploma and certificates are still vital standards by which a good many employers measure a person’s ability.In order to increase the qualifications for a job, the students compel themselves to run from one exam to another.From my point of view, we should be more rational when it comes to certificates, since certificates do not necessarily prove one’s ability.Being crazy in getting certificates blindly is nothing but wasting time.To conclude, we should focus on improving our ability but not getting a certificate of no practical value.3、節(jié)儉
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic Extravagant Spending on College Campus.You should write at least 120 words, and base your composition on the outline below: 1)很多大學(xué)生每月的花銷越來越高,根本沒有節(jié)儉的概念,2)分析產(chǎn)生這一現(xiàn)象的原因,3)我的看法。
Extravagant Spending on College Campus According to a survey, in recent years the monthly expenditure of a college student has been on the sharp rise.Many college students have no concept of thrift in their mind.They take it for granted that they spend money from their parents before they enter into the society.This extravagant spending is primarily caused by the following factors.First of all, nowadays most of the students are the only children of their families.They are the apple in their family’s eyes and naturally get more care and pocket money.In addition, with the improvement of living standards, parents can afford higher expenditure of their children.Moreover, some students like to pursue fashion and trends, which tend to need more money.Finally, campus love is also a possible factor causing extravagant spending.From my point of view, a college student, as a pure consumer, should learn to be thrifty.We should limit our expenditure on daily necessities but not buy whatever we want regardless of their prices.The habit of thrift can help us form right values and is favorable to our future development.4、社會(huì)實(shí)踐
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic Social Practice of College Students.You should write at least 120 words, and base your composition on the outline below: 1)各大學(xué)在假期都會(huì)組織學(xué)生參加各種社會(huì)實(shí)踐活動(dòng),2)這些活動(dòng)給大學(xué)生帶來了哪些好處,3)參加社會(huì)實(shí)踐活動(dòng)應(yīng)該注意些什么。
Social Practice of College Students Nowadays a large number of universities encourage and organize students to take part in social practice activities.During the holidays, students in mounting numbers choose to be the volunteers, take part-time jobs, or take part in other practical activities alike.It is obvious that social practice is playing an increasingly essential role in China’s college education.Undoubtedly, college students have benefited a lot from social practice.Above all, they are provided with more opportunities to contact the real world outside campus.What is more, in social practice activities, students can apply their theoretical knowledge to the solution to the practical problems.So their practical skills are improved greatly.Besides, social practice helps strengthen students’ sense of social responsibility.Considering the above-mentioned, it is necessary for college students to participate in social practice.However, social practice may bring some problems.For example, some students spend too much time in taking part-time jobs so as to ignore their study.Hence, we should try to balance the relationship between social practice and study.5、挫折
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic Frustration Education should be Strengthened among College Students.You should write at least 120 words, and base your composition on the outline:
1)加強(qiáng)挫折教育十分重要,2)舉例說明你的觀點(diǎn),3)為了加強(qiáng)挫折教育,我們應(yīng)該······
Frustration Education should be Strengthened among College Students It is universally acknowledged that college students should be guided correctly to face frustrations in life.Frustration is inevitable during our life, and frustration education should be carried out among colleges and universities.The truth of it is deep and profound.A great many remarkable illustrations contribute to this argument.A case in point is that there are an increasing number of college students committing suicide each year when confronted with some kind of frustration.This is close to suggest that strengthening frustration education allows of no delay.As a matter of fact, it seems that successful people tend to be good at dealing with frustrations.Moreover, most of the students are often annoyed and discouraged by frustrations instead of drawing lessons.Judging from the evidence offered, we might safely draw the conclusion that frustration education is essential to the college students.But what is worth noting is colleges should also provide psychological service for the students while giving frustration education.To conclude, college students should be guided in the right path when facing setbacks in life.6、報(bào)考公務(wù)員
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic Test for Civil Servants.You should write at least 120 words, and base your composition on the outline below: 1)近幾年興起了一股報(bào)考公務(wù)員的熱潮,2)分析產(chǎn)生這一現(xiàn)象的原因,3)你的看法。
Test for Civil Servants In recent years, there are people in expanding numbers who have participated in the test for civil servants.Millions of students choose civil servant as their most ideal occupation after graduation.And among them, the high-educated, like masters and doctors, take quite a large percentage.The craze in civil servant test has attracted widespread attention.The following fundamental causes can account for this kind of craze.First and foremost, nowadays college students face great employment pressure.Civil servant, as one of the most stable professions in today’s China, becomes their preferable choice.Moreover, recently, the welfare and salary of civil servants have been improved greatly, which undoubtedly attracts many people.Last but not least, the high social position of civil servants is a crucial factor drawing many people to take part in the civil servant test.In my opinion, this craze in civil servant test will continue in the following years.However, from the long run, it does not do good to the development of our nation.If most high quality talents gather in the government departments, it might lead to a waste of resources.Accordingly, both the individuals and the government should have a more objective recognition of the civil servant test craze.7、電視選秀
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic Attending TV PK Shows Does(or Does no)good to Young People.You should write at least 120 words, and base your composition on the outline below: 1)現(xiàn)在各種各樣的電視選秀節(jié)目吸引了許多年輕人,2)為了實(shí)現(xiàn)明星夢,一些年輕人甚至放棄了學(xué)業(yè),3)你的看法。
Attending TV PK Shows Does No Good to Young People Nowadays, TV PK shows are great hits in China and have attracted a large number of adolescents.Some youngsters even give up their studies to attend these shows in the hope of winning their fame overnight.Some people argue that these shows provide young people more chance to show talents, while others assume that attending these shows does no good to the juvenile.As for me, I prefer to the latter opinion.It should be admitted that some young people like Li Yuchun has stood out from the numerous attendants in the PK show, but that doesn’t mean attending the PK shows is a good way to become successful for teenagers.The following reasons can support my view.First and foremost, TV PK shows breed restlessness and induce young people to hunt after fame at whatever cost.Furthermore, TV PK shows can subvert the youngsters’ values.They cling to the idea that attending the PK shows is a shortcut to success, so they may despise the way of achieving success by hard work.Finally, if the young fail in these shows, they will suffer a psychological unbalance.In a word, entering for TV PK shows is not a good way for young people to achieve success.I hold the opinion that young people should think twice before deciding to attend PK shows.8、出國留學(xué)
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on the topic Studying Abroad.You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below: 1)目前很多中國學(xué)生出國留學(xué),2)出國留學(xué)的好處,3)我的看法。
Nowadays, going abroad for studies is enjoying a striking popularity among adolescents.Importance should be attached to studying abroad.There are a great many advantages of studying overseas.First and foremost, living and studying abroad offers students a different perspective of the world.On a university campus, international students are likely to encounter their counterparts from various countries and areas and are exposed to diverse ideas and values.What is more, overseas experience is the best opportunity for the real-life use of foreign languages.There is no better opportunity to improve second-language skills than living in the country in which it is spoken.Generally peaking, it is my view that although going abroad is expensive and perhaps painful, the payoff is worthwhile.In the first place, in addition to knowledge, overseas students can gain precious experiences that those who stay at home will never have.Furthermore, overseas experience, frustrating and painful as it may be, is conducive to the growth of adolescents.9、就業(yè)
Directions: For this part you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic Jobs for Graduates.You should write at least 120 words and base your composition on the outline below:
1、大學(xué)生難找工作,2、原因很多,3、解決的辦法。
Job hunting has always been a headache for college students.Though many graduates are employed right after graduation, some are not.Most serious of all, some still have no idea where to go working even a long time after graduation.The reasons for this phenomenon are various.On the one hand, a few years ago colleges and universities enrolled so many students in popular majors, such as economy, finance and so on that the number of graduates was greater than the need in the market.On the other hand, most graduates would rather stay in large cities without suitable job to do than go to the country.I reckon this problem can be solved if both colleges and students take measures.First, they should research the market and develop special skills to suit its need.Second, students’ attitude towards employment should be changed.They should go to small cities and country.There they can also give full play to their professional knowledge.In a word, if we pay much attention, the situation can be improved.10、互聯(lián)網(wǎng)
Directions: For this part you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic Internet.You should write at least 120 words and base your composition on the outline below:
1、互聯(lián)網(wǎng)使用的現(xiàn)狀,2、大學(xué)生是否應(yīng)該使用互聯(lián)網(wǎng),人們的看法不同,3、我的看法。
In recent years, people are developing an inseparable relationship with Internet.As is known to all, it is convenient for us to click the mouse when surfing on line, either to entertain ourselves or to meet the work’s needs.On the one hand, no one denies that Internet is currently one of the most useful media in our daily life.As a college student, I get on line every day to exchange information through e-mails with my net friends.But on the other hand, a good many people admit that they are too much addicted to Internet to maintain a regular and wholesome lifestyle.Thus, it is necessary for us to use Internet in a reasonable way and restrain from overindulgence.After all,Internet is invented to enrich our life, and to improve the efficiency of our work rather than shackle us with a chain.參 考 譯 文 1.作為現(xiàn)代電腦與網(wǎng)絡(luò)的產(chǎn)物,在線游戲在大學(xué)生中間已經(jīng)變得非常流行。很多學(xué)生喜歡來自于這些游戲的極大快樂與滿足。但是我們看到,一些缺乏自律的學(xué)生太沉迷于這些游戲,以至于影響了他們的健康和學(xué)習(xí)成績。這種現(xiàn)象已經(jīng)在教師和家長中引起極大憂慮。
然而,有人認(rèn)為在線游戲并不總是有害。它們可以訓(xùn)練年輕人對(duì)事物的快速反應(yīng)能力。此外,它們可以激發(fā)年輕人的想象與對(duì)電腦的興趣。更為重要的是,它確實(shí)給大學(xué)生帶來快樂并極大地減輕他們的壓力。
在我看來,如果你以適當(dāng)?shù)姆绞酵嬖诰€游戲,這是一種極好的娛樂。當(dāng)它們太影響學(xué)習(xí)的時(shí)候,你最好立即放棄。然而如果你對(duì)他們有足夠的自制,你當(dāng)然可以從中獲得真正的快樂并受益匪淺。2.近年來,考證在大學(xué)生中已經(jīng)變成一種新的熱潮。只是在校園中隨機(jī)詢問一位學(xué)生他或她在忙什么,你可能就會(huì)得到這樣的答案:他正在準(zhǔn)備考取某種證書。為何出現(xiàn)這種熱潮?
這種現(xiàn)象主要有兩點(diǎn)原因。首先,正是就業(yè)壓力使得大學(xué)生去考取更多證書。隨著大學(xué)的擴(kuò)招,更多畢業(yè)生不得不面對(duì)就業(yè)市場的激烈競爭。一個(gè)人如何使自己更具競爭力?可能就是更多證書在手。此外,學(xué)位和證書仍是很多單位衡量個(gè)人能力的重要標(biāo)準(zhǔn)。為了改善就業(yè)條件,學(xué)生們迫使自己不斷參加考試。
在我看來,由于證書并不一定證明某人的能力,我們應(yīng)該更加理性面對(duì)證書。盲目地?zé)嶂杂讷@得證書只是浪費(fèi)時(shí)間??傊?,我們應(yīng)該重視提升能力,而不是獲得沒有使用價(jià)值的證書。3.根據(jù)一項(xiàng)調(diào)查,近年來大學(xué)生每月花銷已經(jīng)急劇增加。很多大學(xué)生腦中根本沒有節(jié)儉的概念。在走入社會(huì)之前,他們想當(dāng)然地花費(fèi)父母給的錢。這種浪費(fèi)花銷主要由以下原因引起。
首先,現(xiàn)在大多數(shù)學(xué)生是家里的獨(dú)生子女。他們是父母眼中的寶貝,自然得到更多關(guān)心和零用錢。其次,隨著生活水平的提高,父母能夠承擔(dān)孩子更高的消費(fèi)。此外,一些學(xué)生喜歡追求時(shí)尚和潮流,這也易于需要更多錢。最后,校園戀愛也是造成浪費(fèi)花銷的另一可能原因。
在我看來,一名大學(xué)生作為純消費(fèi)者,應(yīng)該學(xué)會(huì)節(jié)儉。我們的支出應(yīng)該限制在日常必需品,而不是不顧價(jià)格購買我們想要的一切。節(jié)儉的習(xí)慣能幫助我們樹立正確的價(jià)值觀,并有利于我們的未來發(fā)展。4.現(xiàn)在很多大學(xué)鼓勵(lì)并組織學(xué)生參加社會(huì)實(shí)踐活動(dòng)。在假期,越來越多的學(xué)生選擇去做志愿者,兼職打工或參加其他類似的實(shí)踐活動(dòng)。顯而易見,社會(huì)實(shí)踐在中國大學(xué)教育中正在發(fā)揮日益重要的作用。
毫無疑問,大學(xué)生從社會(huì)實(shí)踐中受益匪淺。首先,他們有更多機(jī)會(huì)接觸校園之外的真實(shí)世界。其次,在社會(huì)實(shí)踐活動(dòng)中,學(xué)生能把他們的理論知識(shí)用于解決實(shí)際問題。因此他們的實(shí)踐技能得到極大提高。此外,社會(huì)實(shí)踐有助于增強(qiáng)學(xué)生的社會(huì)責(zé)任感。
考慮到上述論證,大學(xué)生必須參加社會(huì)實(shí)踐活動(dòng)。然而,社會(huì)實(shí)踐可能帶來一些問題。例如,有些學(xué)生花費(fèi)太多時(shí)間兼職打工,以至于忽視了他們的學(xué)習(xí)。因此,我們應(yīng)該努力平衡社會(huì)實(shí)踐與學(xué)習(xí)之間的關(guān)系。5.普遍公認(rèn)我們應(yīng)該正確引導(dǎo)大學(xué)生面對(duì)生活中的挫折。挫折在我們生活中必不可少,而挫折教育應(yīng)該在學(xué)生和大學(xué)中展開。其中的道理非常深刻。
很多值得注意的例子支持上述論證。一個(gè)恰當(dāng)?shù)睦泳褪钱?dāng)面對(duì)某種挫折的時(shí)候,每年自殺的大學(xué)生越來越多。這充分證明了加強(qiáng)挫折教育刻不容緩。事實(shí)上,成功人士似乎傾向于擅長面對(duì)挫折。此外,大多數(shù)學(xué)生經(jīng)常被挫折所煩惱和沮喪,而非吸取教訓(xùn)。
根據(jù)上述論證,我們可以得出結(jié)論:挫折教育對(duì)于大學(xué)生十分重要。但值得注意的是,在進(jìn)行挫折教育的同時(shí),大學(xué)也應(yīng)為學(xué)生提供心理服務(wù)。總之,在面對(duì)生活中的挫折時(shí),我們應(yīng)該對(duì)大學(xué)生給與正確引導(dǎo)。6.近年來,越來越多的人開始參加公務(wù)員考試。數(shù)以百萬的學(xué)生選擇公務(wù)員作為他們畢業(yè)后最理想的職業(yè)。在他們中間,碩士和博士等高等教育者占據(jù)相當(dāng)大的比例。報(bào)考公務(wù)員的熱潮已經(jīng)引起廣泛的關(guān)注。
下述主要原因可以解釋這種熱潮。首先,現(xiàn)在大學(xué)生面對(duì)巨大的就業(yè)壓力。公務(wù)員作為當(dāng)今中國最穩(wěn)定的職業(yè)之一,成為他們的首選。其次,近年來公務(wù)員的福利和待遇已經(jīng)極大改善,無疑吸引了很多人。最后,公務(wù)員較高的社會(huì)地位也是吸引很多人報(bào)考公務(wù)員的一個(gè)重要原因。
在我看來,報(bào)考公務(wù)員的熱潮在未來幾年中仍將繼續(xù)。然而,從長遠(yuǎn)來看,這對(duì)我們國家的發(fā)展并沒有好處。如果大多數(shù)高素質(zhì)人才聚集中于政府部門,這可能導(dǎo)致一種資源浪費(fèi)。因此,個(gè)人和政府都應(yīng)對(duì)報(bào)考公務(wù)員的熱潮有一種更客觀的認(rèn)識(shí)。7.現(xiàn)在,電視選秀節(jié)目是中國的一大熱點(diǎn),已經(jīng)吸引了很多年輕人。為了一夜成名,有些年輕人甚至放棄他們的學(xué)業(yè)來參加這些節(jié)目。有人認(rèn)為這些節(jié)目為年輕人提供了更多展示才能的機(jī)會(huì),而其他人認(rèn)為參加這些節(jié)目對(duì)年輕人沒有好處。就我而言,我支持后者的觀點(diǎn)。
不可否認(rèn),像李宇春等一些年輕人在選秀節(jié)目的無數(shù)參與者中脫穎而出,但這并不意味著參加選秀節(jié)目是年輕人成功的好途徑。下述原因可以支持我的觀點(diǎn)、首先,電視選秀節(jié)目引起了不安,并誘使年輕人不惜代價(jià)追逐成名。此外,選秀節(jié)目可以扭曲年輕人的價(jià)值觀。他們認(rèn)為參加選秀節(jié)目是成功的一條捷徑,因而輕視通過努力工作獲得成功的方式。最后,如果年輕人在這些節(jié)目中失敗,他們將遭受巨大的心理失衡。
總之,參加電視選秀節(jié)目不是年輕人獲得成功的好途徑。我認(rèn)為年輕人在決定參加之前應(yīng)該慎重。
8、目前,出國留學(xué)在年輕人中間非常流行。我們應(yīng)該充分重視留學(xué)問題。
出國留學(xué)有很多好處。首先,國外生活和學(xué)習(xí)為學(xué)生提供了一個(gè)看待世界的不同視角。在大學(xué)校園中,國際學(xué)生很可能遇到來自不同國家和地區(qū)的同伴,并且面臨迥異的觀念和價(jià)值。此外,海外經(jīng)歷是外語在實(shí)際生活運(yùn)用的最佳時(shí)機(jī)。沒有什么比住在母語國家提高第二外語技能的更好機(jī)會(huì)了。
總之,我認(rèn)為盡管出國留學(xué)很昂貴,并且可能會(huì)痛苦,但這種付出是值得的。首先,除了知識(shí)之外,留學(xué)生可以獲得留在國內(nèi)的學(xué)生永遠(yuǎn)無法獲得的寶貴經(jīng)驗(yàn)。其次,盡管留學(xué)經(jīng)歷可能使人沮喪痛苦,然而這對(duì)年輕人的成長是有益的。
9、找工作對(duì)很多大學(xué)畢業(yè)生來講已經(jīng)變成了非常頭疼的問題。盡管很多人在畢業(yè)之后馬上找到工作,還是有些人沒有找到。最為嚴(yán)重的是,有些人在畢業(yè)很長時(shí)間之后,還不知道去哪找工作。
產(chǎn)生這一現(xiàn)象的原因有很多。首先,幾年前各大學(xué)院和大學(xué)錄取了這么多經(jīng)濟(jì)、金融等熱門專業(yè)的學(xué)生,以至于畢業(yè)生的數(shù)量超過了市場需求。其次,大多數(shù)大學(xué)生寧愿待在大城市,找不到合適的工作,也不愿去小城市和鄉(xiāng)村。
我認(rèn)為如果大學(xué)和學(xué)生都采取有效措施,這個(gè)難題可以解決。首先,大學(xué)應(yīng)該通過市場調(diào)查來發(fā)展學(xué)生的特殊技能以適應(yīng)需求。其次,學(xué)生的就業(yè)觀念應(yīng)該轉(zhuǎn)變。他們應(yīng)該去小城市和鄉(xiāng)鎮(zhèn),在那里他們可以充分發(fā)揮自己的專業(yè)理論知識(shí)和實(shí)踐技能??偠灾?,如果我們更加重視,這種狀況可以得到改進(jìn)。
10、近年來,人們與互聯(lián)網(wǎng)之間的關(guān)系變得越來越不可分割。眾所周知,無論是為了自我娛樂還是適應(yīng)工作的需求,對(duì)我們來說,在網(wǎng)上沖浪時(shí)點(diǎn)擊鼠標(biāo)非常方便。
一方面,不可否認(rèn)互聯(lián)網(wǎng)現(xiàn)在是我們?nèi)粘I钪凶钣杏玫拿襟w之一。作為一名大學(xué)生,我每天上網(wǎng)借助電子郵件和我的網(wǎng)友交流信息。但另一方面,很多人承認(rèn)他們太沉迷于網(wǎng)絡(luò),以至于無法保持一種正常和健康的生活方式。
因此,我們很有必要以一種合理的方式使用互聯(lián)網(wǎng),避免過度沉迷。畢竟,人們發(fā)明互聯(lián)網(wǎng)是為了豐富我們的生活,提高我們的工作效率,并非用鎖鏈?zhǔn)`我們。
第三篇:大學(xué)英語期末考試寫作必背
Is It Better to Buy or Rent? The price of housing has kept increasing in recent years, which causes a big headache for people living in cities.A lot of people cannot afford to own a real estate property, so they choose to rent instead of buying an apartment.This group of people does not want to bear burden of mortgage so that they opt for a practical solution.Renting an apartment makes them have a place to stay and thus they can focus on work as well as personal life.Some other people, however, believe that an apartment owned by themselves makes them feel safe and relieved, so they are willing to sacrifice some other aspects of life to borrow money from the bank to buy an apartment.As far as I am concerned, to buy or to rent is all about it will be better to rent first and wait for the good timing when the price is going down to buy.Topic 2: On Job Hopping It seems that nowadays, very few young people are willing to stay in a job position for long, let alone for the whole life.They change jobs constantly.This results from several factors.Firstly, young people like fresh things, and it is easy for them to be fed up with old routine work.So when they stay in a position for a while,the excitement will fade out.They are quite realistic and not willing to waste time in a job they are not interested in.Thirdly, some young people are not satisfied with current salary, believing they deserve better pay.In my opinion, constant job hopping will not benefit young people in their career development.Every job has its own merits and young people can certainly learn something from it as long as they are patient and wise enough.Every job experience is valuable down the career path and young people shall be able to make the most of it.Topic 3: Online Social Network Modern people will be no stranger to online social network.Facebook, Renren and Kaixin001 are probably the most populous networks among Chinese netizen.In these networks, people interact with each other, be it a stranger or a friend, and have a lot of fun in the virtual world.This phenomenon could be a result of the fast development of the Internet and people's great interest of the virtual world.I think it is a very good new platform for people to keep in touch.But it should not be overused.Firstly, some people are addicted to it, which makes them want to get online 24 hours a day.When people spend too much time on one thing,they will naturally have not enough time for study and for work.Secondly, online social network change people's behavior of interacting with others.In virtual world, you just click the mouse and type in words instead of having a face-to-face talk.This will not benefit people's long term friendship, and even harm their interpersonal relationships in real world.Topic 4: The Most Important Skills for Modern People With the development of science and technology, the skills that modern people master are also changing with it.Some old skills including cooking, sewing and gardening are no longer be deemed as necessary skills.Then what are the most important skills for modern people? Some hold that foreign language skills and computer skills are on top of the list, whereas some others believe that communication skills are the must.As far as I am concerned, communication skills are of the greatest importance for modern people.Firstly, in a globalized world, everyone is interconnected with each other.Communication is the key in personal interaction, and good communication skills can bring people sound interpersonal relationship.Secondly, most of the work done today requires teamwork.One person alone can not finish everything.Cooperation asks for communication, and effective communication will promote cooperation.That's the reason why lots of big companies emphasize communication skills first when they are recruiting new employees.Topic 5: What Is More Important: Character or Academic Achievement? What is the criterion to judge the performance of a student? Some believe that the exam marks should be the first standard concerned.A student's first priority is to study well, and academic achievement can show the result of a student's efforts and capability.But some disagree by holding that good character should be considered first when talking about the performance of a student, as character shows that whether a student has correct basic moral value and proper behavior.As far as I am concerned, sound character is more important in judging a student's performance.Firstly, good exam marks can not be everything as that won't follow a student's whole life.But sound character will be the only thing that lasts for long.Secondly, if a student has very poor character, good marks will be meaningless.When the student has grown up, his academic achievement will probably be used for wrong purpose.I, therefore, believe that we should reform the education system and care more for students' character cultivation.Topic 6: On the Importance of Being Grateful Have you ever said “thank you” when your classmates helped you?
Have you ever thought about repaying a business partner who once lent you a hand? If the answer is yes, you must be a person who feels grateful.Your gratefulness makes your family more harmonious and helps you build a reliable cooperative relationship with other people, which can help you a lot in your lifetime.However, there are less and less people who feel grateful in the modern society.For one thing, people focus so much on what they can get that they never think of what to give.That is to say, they are too greedy to feel grateful.For another, some people take others' love and care for granted and know nothing about gratefulness.In my view, gratitude is important to our society and cultivating gratitude should begin from children with something small.We should teach our children how important gratitude is and ask them to do small things for others to show their gratefulness.Our society can become more harmonious and beautiful because of gratitude.Topic 7: Living with Parents after Graduation Which will you choose to deal with your accommodation problem after graduation, living with parents or renting a room on your own? Quite a number of people prefer to rent a room on their own;however, more and more people choose to live with parents.There are several reasons for that.First, because of high housing prices, most people can't afford to buy a house after graduation.What's more, with their limited incomes, the graduates feel stressed with the high housing rent and living costs.Living with parents can save them lots of money which they may spend on housing and daily expenses.Finally, many people have been accustomed to depending on their parents and they can't take care of themselves.Personally speaking, I'd rather rent a room to live my own life, though living with my parents may help save much money.I also suggest that those who are so dependent on parents should learn to be independent as early as possible.Topic 8: More Disasters than Before? Much attention has been paid to reports about natural disasters recently.Earthquakes, droughts and floods in the West and Southwest this year resulted in many casualties and great losses, which greatly shocked us and forced us to be on alert.We can't help raising the question: are there more disasters than before?Many people probably will say “yes” to this question.There are more and more reports about disasters on TV and on the front pages of newspapers and websites.Media often cover details of disasters for days, which easily gives viewers a false image that disasters happen every day.As far as I am concerned, the great coverage of natural disasters by the media reflects the environmental awareness of human beings.We are more concerned about environmental protection now, and this is the first step to a better future of our planet.Topic 9: How to Deal with Peer Pressures?
People often feel peer pressures.For example, your roommates smoke but you don't.Your classmates wear expensive clothes but you don't.In these cases, you may feel excluded if you don't do the same things as they do.Sometimes peer pressures drive people crazy, but you can only rely on yourself to deal with it.There are two ways to deal with peer pressures.First, pay attention to your own feelings and decide what you should do.Try saying “no” to peer pressures.Don't give in to pressures and do things against your will.Second, find friends who stand on your side.It's tough to deal with peer pressures alone,but it's much easier if at least one peer supports you.Make friends with those who have similar opinions or habits to yours, so that you won't feel excluded.To conclude, peer pressures can be eased if you have the courage to say “no” to it, and combat with it together with your true friends.Topic 10: Lectures and Discussions
Lectures and discussions are two main styles of teaching in universities, and each has its own advantages and disadvantages.Some students are in favor of lectures, but others enjoy discussions very much.Lecturing is the most traditional teaching method in China, because it is considered highly efficient.Students can get used to lectures easily, for most of them have been taught in this way since primary school.Teachers play a very important role in lectures, while students seldom have chances to speak.On the contrary, discussions allow students to have chances to interact with each other.What's more, students have more freedom and initiative in class where they can express their ideas freely and ask any questions about the topic.However, the class can easily go out of control if there is no restriction.As for me, I prefer discussions to lectures because of the open atmosphere.However, teachers should take charge of the discussions to help students learn more.Topic 11: On the Importance of Mutual Understanding Nowadays many people are so focused on their own interests that they barely consider the feelings of others.As a result, misunderstandings, or even conflicts, arise.It is important for people to understand each other during a conversation, or in the interpersonal communication.For one thing, mutual understanding makes it easy for both parties to reach an agreement on the topic they are discussing.This may help solve the most difficult issues among different cultures, countries or communities.Furthermore, for people who are friendly to each other, this mutual understanding can definitely strengthen the love and friendship between them.Both the speaker and the listener can do much to help gain mutual understanding.On the one hand, the speaker should try his best to express himself clearly, correctly, vividly and forcefully.On the other hand, the listener should also make every effort to be very attentive.Most importantly, both parties should take a friendly attitude towards the other side.Topic 12: Book Smart or Street Smart? There is a heated debate nowadays about which is better or more useful, to be book smart or street smart.People's opinions differ greatly over this topic.Some people believe to be book smart is way better.Many important fields like science and education need a great number of book-smart people.They can apply what they learn from books to their career.Others argue that true cleverness is not about how much you have learnt, but about how you deal with what you have learnt.Street-smart people can learn much from different experiences and can solve practical problems easily.They are much useful than book-smart people to some extent.As for me, there's no clear victor in the battle between street-smart people and book-smart ones.They both have their advantages, and our society require both.As a result, it's much better if we are both book smart and street smart.Topic 13: Due Attention Should Be Given to Spoken English As we all know, spoken English plays an important part in learning English.However, more and more students pay less attention to spoken English nowadays.There are two main reasons for this phenomenon.First, students would rather pay more attention to written English than spoken English because of pressure of exams.In order to enter a better school, students take efforts to improve their grades in examinations.As for English, exams mainly focus on the written part.Therefore, written English becomes students' priority.Furthermore, many students lack courage to speak English.Being afraid of making mistakes and thus losing face, many students dare not speak English in public.In order to change this situation, the educational system should be reformed to keep a balance between written English and spoken English, and schools should pay more attention to the latter.And most importantly, students should be encouraged to make mistakes when speaking English.If they are self-confident, their spoken English is sure to improve.Topic 14: Volunteering Activities With the progress of society, the volunteer spirit has spread all over the country.More and more people are willing to be volunteers and take part in volunteering activities.Getting involved in volunteer work means a lot to our society.Firstly, you show loving care to others when you are doing volunteer work.You pass love and civilization on to others with your volunteer work, and make others feel that there are always people caring about them.This makes our society more harmonious.Secondly, people whom you help may be influenced by your good deed and follow your lead.As a result, all people may help and care about each other, which makes the world a better place to live in.Since volunteer work is so meaningful, we should call on more people to take part in volunteer activities.All young people are supposed to have the volunteer spirit and be active to do volunteer work.Topic 15: Keep Connected with Parents Many parents feel confused that, once upon a time, their kids shared everything with them, but now they don't even look at them.With the development of modern society, it seems that more and more children aren't willing to communicate with their parents.There are several reasons for this phenomenon.For one thing, many kids think that they have nothing in common with their parents.What parents chatter about is study, which makes them bored.Thus, they prefer to communicate with friends.For another, they feel that their parents don't understand them at all.What they love to do is often against their parents' will and they can't get any support.As a result, the generation gap between parents and children become wider and wider.In order to change this situation, both parents and children should work together.Parents should learn to be a good listener and respect their children's ideas, whereas children should keep connected with their parents actively.Topic 16: My View on Knowledge Economy Knowledge economy, which emphasizes knowledge and people of talent, is gradually replacing the industrial economy and becoming the dominant economic form.It is playing a more and more important role in our economic life in recent years.Knowledge economy has fundamentally transformed our ways of work, business and education.To start with, with the development of knowledge economy, more and more people are transformed from traditional manufacturing industries to new fields such as the Internet and the computer science area.Secondly, knowledge economy has given rise to the boom of electronic commerce and online trade, so you can do business anytime and anywhere.Besides, people have to keep learning something new to adapt to this explosive knowledge society.In my opinion, we should insist on developing knowledge economy and make efforts to educate the young generation, to contribute to the progress of knowledge economy.Topic 17: The Impact of the Internet on Education As Internet application is becoming wider and wider, the Internet has already permeated traditional education and has tremendous impact on education.As a result, more and more people tend to choose online education.There are some reasons for this phenomenon.First, online learning breaks the limits of time and space traditional education encounters and provides flexible learning opportunities for all people.Second, with the online learning, one can learn lessons from the best teachers of top schools which one can't have access to traditionally.Third, online learning gives freedom to students, so they can schedule their study according to their own pace of learning.Finally online learning enables them to discuss with others and ask questions freely without seeing each other, which is perfect for shy people.In order to develop online learning, there should be more schools providing all kinds of online lessons for people who have different needs, and more people should seize these learning opportunities to enrich their knowledge.Topic 18: On Dialects There is a controversial issue about whether dialects should be prohibited in public.Opinions vary greatly on this issue.Some deem that dialects should be forbidden in public.There are so many people with various dialects in public that if everybody just speaks their own dialects, it can easily lead to chaos.In order to avoid this situation, we have to choose mandarin as the official language, for it can be understood by most Chinese.However, others argue that everybody has the right to speak dialects.Local dialects have been used for thousands of years, and they are valued as part of the traditional culture.Therefore they shouldn't be abandoned randomly.In addition, dialects still enjoy popularity in the daily communication among people from the same place.From my perspective, local dialects should be maintained and they can be used in public as long as they do not cause misunderstanding among the audience.Moreover, we should take responsibility to preserve endangered dialects.Topic 19: The Benefits of Job Interviews Nowadays, if you apply for a job, you usually have togo through the job interview process.A job interview is an undoubtedly vital process in the course of applying for a job.Job interviews benefit both the interviewer and the candidate.On the one hand, the interviewer is able to get more information about the candidate beyond his resume, and to know what qualifications he has by judging from the performance in the interview.After examining the ability and personality, they can decide whether he is the right person for the position.On the other hand, the candidate can decide whether he takes this job after he gets general information about it, such as the income, working conditions, etc.Moreover, he can gain precious experience by taking part in interviews, which is good for the following interviews.Therefore, the interviewer should make efforts to improve the job interview process to select the best candidate, whereas the candidate should also get well prepared for a better job.Topic 20.My View on White Lies The question about whether we should tell white lies in daily life has aroused an intense debate over these years.Different people have different opinions.Many believe that we need white lies.There are moments in our life when we have to tell lies.In order to avoid hurting others' feelings or to make others feel better, we often tell white lies instead of conveying the truth.White lies have magic power to give people much hope and warmth.For instance, when you tell lies to a patient who gets incurable disease, he can probably enjoy the rest of his days more peacefully.Others argued that no one should tell lies, no matter what kind of lies.A white lie is essentially a lie.Some people feel betrayed and even get more hurt once they find out the truth, which can wreck a relationship easily.As for me, whether we should tell white lies really depends.You'd better take into consideration what the occasion isand what the result may be.Topic 21: Should a Formal Distance Be Kept Between Students and Teachers?
A good interpersonal relationship between teachers and students is vital for successful education.And what is a perfect teacher-student relationship like? Should there be a formal distance between them?The question has aroused much interest.For some, teachers and students should be friends, and there should be little distance between them.The teacher enjoys being treated as a friend by the student, and the student likes confiding in the teacher.Such a relationship is treasured especially by teenagers who are eager to grow up.However, others hold that there should always be a formal distance between the teacher and the student.They argue that only when the teacher keeps a distance from the student can he make fair judgments about all the students and avoid prejudice.In my opinion, the distance between the teacher and the student can best be adjusted according to the specific situation.There is no need to regulate a set distance between the two.Topic 22: Need We “Never Give Up”? When Wallace watched the spider fail six times in spinning a web and succeed at the seventh time, he realized that he should lead his Scottish people to fight against the English invaders for another time, and he, too, succeeded.Whenever we face some difficulties or suffer setbacks in our projects, we can always gain strength from the popular saying: “Never give up!”But need we never give up?Apparently there are always goals we can never achieve.However hard we tried, we could not win the top prize in every contest;whatever treatment used, we may fail to lengthen the life of someone beloved.There are always frustrations, and some are just beyond us.It is thus wise to accept the reality, i.e.to give up sometimes.As college students, we need the saying “Never give up” to keep us going.But we also need to learn to come to terms with reality.When occasionally I heard news about some college students committing suicide, I said to myself, “If only they had learned to give up!”
Topic 23: Work in the Countryside Many university graduates now volunteer to work in the countryside.It is reported that once hundreds of university graduates competed with one another to work as a village leader in Beijing.Many factors have contributed to this phenomenon.First, with more and more university students graduating each year, the job market competition becomes increasingly fierce, and many graduates cannot find jobs in the cities.Working in the countryside is better than being jobless.Second, the villages that are trying to employ university graduates are generally in the rich areas of the country, which makes working there an attractive choice.Third, some university graduates, being from the countryside, are eager to go back home to contribute to the construction of their hometown.With their knowledge and enthusiasm, they will play an important role in building the new countryside.Personally, I think university graduates should go to work where they are needed most and where they can make full use of their talents.Working in the countryside can be truly an advisable choice.Topic 24: Should Old People Stay at Home or Be Placed in Nursing Homes? Should old people stay with their children or go to the nursing homes?Some hold that old people should stay at home.For one thing, the young are obliged to repay the care and love they once received from the old.For another, the old may help with some housework and gain a sense of achievement, which is important for their mental and physical health.By contrast, some argue that old people should be placed in nursing homes, where they can not only have opportunities to communicate and have fun with their peers,but also be treated by professional doctors and nurses.Furthermore, with the old staying in nursing homes, the young may have more time and energy to devote to their own careers.In my view,the decision should be made with all factors fully considered.Above all, the opinion of the old should be respected.They themselves should be the ones who make the decision, not the young.

For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay based on the picture below.You should start your essay with a brief account of An American girl in traditional Chinese costume and then explain the importance of cultural exchanges.You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.The picture vividly depicts a lovely American girl in traditional Chinese costume with a sweet smile on her face.She wears ribbons, necklaces and other accessories that are characteristic of the clothes of a certain Chinese minority group.The fact that people from different countries are attracted to mysterious Chinese culture indicates that to some extent a culture can be accepted, respected, appreciated and shared internationally.In other words, a nation’s unique/distinctive culture can become international through worldwide economic and cultural exchanges.Since the trend of globalization becomes irresistible, the increasing cultural exchanges can effectively improve mutual understanding and friendship.It is my view that national culture as priceless spiritual treasure should be preserved and cherished.Meanwhile, there are good reasons to advocate international culture for those ideas from the other cultures, controversial or even absurd at first sight, can provide a different perspective for us to observe the world in the long run.Nevertheless, when we are confronted with a different culture, we should be sensible enough to absorb its essence and to resist its dark side.這幅圖畫生動(dòng)描述了一位可愛的美國小女孩身穿傳統(tǒng)的中國服裝,面帶甜蜜的微笑。她戴著具有某個(gè)中國少數(shù)民族服飾特征的發(fā)帶、項(xiàng)鏈和其他裝飾品。

Directions:
For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay based on the picture below.You should start your essay with a brief account of environmental pollution in some scenic spots and then explain the importance of environmental protection.You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.As is subtly portrayed in the cartoon, two tourists are taking sightseeing on a small boat while discarding their picnic leftovers casually into a lake.And below the drawing, there is a topic which says: “after” the travel or “me” in the travel.From the portrayal, we can conclude that the painter wants to convey such a message: a good many scenic spots are flooded with visitors, who spoil the beauty of nature by creating and leaving behind God-knows-how-much trash.On the one hand, tourism, as a multibillion-dollar business, is booming everywhere.On the other hand, tourism has exerted great pressure on the environment we are living in: water is polluted, the ecological system is disturbed, and natural resources have been excessively used.Undoubtedly, tourism could not be banned in any country as it does help to shore up the economy in places which offer few sources of income.The significant point is that the unchecked growth of the travel business may render the development of an economy unsustainable.如圖所示,兩名游客正在一艘小船上觀光,同時(shí)把野餐的剩余垃圾隨意丟入湖中。在圖畫下方,有個(gè)小標(biāo)題寫明:“旅程之‘余’”。
從漫畫中,我們可以得出結(jié)論,畫家想要表達(dá)下述信息:成群的游客涌入很多景點(diǎn),制造并丟棄了大量的垃圾,影響了大自然的美觀。一方面,旅游業(yè)作為一項(xiàng)數(shù)十億美元的產(chǎn)業(yè),正在世界各地迅猛發(fā)展。另一方面,旅游業(yè)已經(jīng)對(duì)我們生存的環(huán)境造成了巨大的壓力:水受到污染,生態(tài)平衡遭到破壞,自然資源被過度開發(fā)。
毫無疑問,由于在其他收入很少的地區(qū),旅游業(yè)確實(shí)有助于發(fā)展經(jīng)濟(jì),因此任何國家都無法禁止旅游業(yè)。但重要的是旅游業(yè)毫無節(jié)制的發(fā)展可能使得經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展不可持續(xù)。

For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled Online Shopping.You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below.1.現(xiàn)在網(wǎng)上購物已成為一種時(shí)尚
2.網(wǎng)上購物有很多好處,但也有不少問題
3.我的建議
Nowadays, can we find a person who has not heard of online shopping? It may be a little difficult.Online shopping is coming into fashion in most cities due to the rapid development of Internet technology.Online shopping is welcomed by the majority of people owing to its obvious advantages: it’s convenient and people can do it 24 hours.You can shop whenever you want——if you want to buy a mobile phone at 2 a.m., you can.Unfortunately, shopping online has its own disadvantages too: you can’t touch the item, let alone try it on.The material of the dress that you see on the screen may be flimsier than what you had expected, and it will probably look much better on the model than it does on you.Personally, I find buying online to be an excellent way to shop for certain items.Nevertheless, for other items, such as clothes, I reckon it is better to shop at a regular store.In a regular store, you can see the real color, feel the material, and try it on.現(xiàn)在,我們能夠找到從未聽說過網(wǎng)上購物的人嗎?恐怕有點(diǎn)困難。由于互聯(lián)網(wǎng)技術(shù)的飛速發(fā)展,網(wǎng)購在大多數(shù)城市都已成為時(shí)尚。
由于網(wǎng)購具有的明顯優(yōu)勢,即其方便性以及隨時(shí)性,大多數(shù)人都喜歡網(wǎng)購。只要喜歡,你可以隨時(shí)購物——如果你想半夜兩點(diǎn)買部手機(jī),沒問題。然而,網(wǎng)購也有其缺點(diǎn):你無法接觸商品,更別說試穿了。你在屏幕上看到的衣服材料可能比你預(yù)期的要更薄,而且很可能穿在模特身上比你更好看。
個(gè)人而言,我認(rèn)為網(wǎng)購對(duì)于購買某些商品是一種很好的方式。然而,對(duì)于諸如服裝等其他商品,我認(rèn)為最好在傳統(tǒng)商店購買。在傳統(tǒng)商店,你可以看到真正的顏色,感覺面料,并且試穿。
4.圖表作文:教育
Directions: In this section, you are asked to write an essay based on the following diagram.Describe the diagram and analyze the possible causes.You should write at least 150 words.The diagram above clearly illustrates that dramatic elevation has occurred in the recruitment of Master of Engineering(ME)in the past seven years.According to the statistics given above, we may conclude that the recruitment of ME was on a steady rise from 1998 to 2004.In 1998, the number was at a low level, only about 2,500.Surprisingly, it reached to more than 35,000 in 2004 within no more than seven years.Some driving factors that contribute to the above-mentioned changes may be summarized as follows.First and foremost, China has become particularly active in manufacturing, which leads to the increasing demand of qualified engineers.In addition, the development of job market on the whole cannot keep pace with the expansion of college graduates, which obliges a large number of students to stay on campus for another three years to get better prepared for their career.Last but not least, working pressure is another reason.Taking all these factors into account, we may predict that with speedy development of our society, the number of recruitment of ME will keep growing in the forthcoming decade.On the other side of the coin, however, this tendency may bring about a good many problems, such as the waste of talent.It is necessary for us to take effective measures to ensure this situation doesn’t get out of hand, and encourage students to choose majors in which theoretical knowledge and practical skills will be demanded in the job market.上述圖表清楚揭示了過去七年在工程碩士招生方面出現(xiàn)了急劇增長。根據(jù)上面給出的數(shù)據(jù),我們可以得出結(jié)論:從1998到2004年,工程碩士招生穩(wěn)步增長。在1998年,招生人數(shù)較少,只有大約2500人。令人驚訝的是,在不到七年中,到2004年招生人數(shù)達(dá)到35000多人。
促成上述變化的一些主要原因可以概括如下。首先,中國在制造業(yè)方面已經(jīng)變得異?;钴S,這導(dǎo)致了高素質(zhì)工程師需求的增加。此外,就業(yè)市場的總體發(fā)展無法跟上大學(xué)畢業(yè)生的增加,這促使很多學(xué)生繼續(xù)呆在校園里三年時(shí)間,為就業(yè)進(jìn)行更好的準(zhǔn)備。最后,工作壓力是另外一個(gè)原因。考慮到所有這些因素,我們可以預(yù)計(jì):隨著社會(huì)的迅速發(fā)展,工程碩士的招生人數(shù)在不遠(yuǎn)的將來將會(huì)繼續(xù)增加。
然而,在問題的另一方面,這種趨勢可能帶來很多問題,例如人才的浪費(fèi)。我們必須采取有效措施確保這一狀況不會(huì)失控,同時(shí)鼓勵(lì)學(xué)生們選擇那些在就業(yè)市場上所需要的既有理論知識(shí)又有實(shí)踐技能的專業(yè)。5.圖畫作文:兩代關(guān)系
Directions:
For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay.You should start your essay with a brief description of the picture and then express your views on the importance of self-dependence.You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.Write your essay on Answer Sheet 1.The set of drawings above vividly depict the destiny of a flower in different circumstances.As is shown in the first cartoon, the flower is growing in full bloom in a comfortable greenhouse that shelters it from the threatening lightning and storm.On the contrary, when removed from the greenhouse and exposed to the driving rain, the flower soon fades and withers.The delicate flower is naturally associated with young people, to be specific, the only children in our current society;the greenhouse epitomizes parents’ doting care and abundant material supplies that can shield the children from the storms, or the harsh reality.Once the young people begin to seek independence and accept challenges from the real world, they are found too spoiled to be strong enough in the face of difficulties.Accordingly, it is vital for us to derive positive implications from these thought-provoking drawings.Only by undergoing more challenges and toils in adversity can young people cultivate strong personality and ability, and only in this way can they become winners in this competitive world.上述這組圖生動(dòng)描述了一朵鮮花在不同環(huán)境中的命運(yùn)。如第一幅漫畫所示,這朵鮮花正在舒適的溫室里充分綻放,溫室保護(hù)它免于可怕的閃電和風(fēng)雨。相反,當(dāng)被搬出溫室并暴露在風(fēng)雨之下時(shí),鮮花很快就凋謝枯萎了。
這朵嬌弱的鮮花自然和我們的年輕人聯(lián)系起來,具體而言,就是當(dāng)代社會(huì)的獨(dú)生子女。溫室是保護(hù)孩子免受風(fēng)雨的父母溺愛和優(yōu)越物質(zhì)條件的縮影,而風(fēng)雨就是嚴(yán)峻的現(xiàn)實(shí)。一旦年輕人開始尋求獨(dú)立并且接受來自現(xiàn)實(shí)世界的挑戰(zhàn),人們發(fā)現(xiàn)他們已經(jīng)被慣壞了,在困難面前無法足夠堅(jiān)強(qiáng)。
總之,我們很有必要從這些發(fā)人深思的圖畫中得出積極的含義。只有經(jīng)歷更多的挑戰(zhàn)和磨練,年輕人才能培養(yǎng)強(qiáng)大的個(gè)性和能力,而且只有這樣他們才能成為這個(gè)競爭世界中的強(qiáng)者。
6.引語評(píng)論:信任
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled On Maintaining Trust by commenting on the saying “It takes years to build trust, and a few seconds to destroy it.” You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.As an old saying goes, “It takes years to build trust, and a few seconds to destroy it.” Maintaining trust is the most important characteristic that a person requires to be successful in life.Only by consistently proving to be? honest can a person earn the precious trust of family members and business partners.On the one hand, a parents’ relationship with his children must be based on trust and integrity.If a father promises many times to take his son to a football match and cancels every time, his son will naturally lose begin to lose faith in his father’s words.On the other hand, in the business world, people with no trust sooner or later earn the bad reputation they deserve.I have observed how destructive a person’s dishonesty has been to his chances for success, and how his relationships with other people are purely superficial, based only on self-interest.Trust is a very valuable asset, which is easy to lose but hard to gain.In the long run, an honest person will have earned the love and respect of the people closest to them, which, in my opinion, is the greatest measure of a successful life.正如諺語所說,“建立信任需要很多年,但毀掉信任只需要幾秒鐘”。一個(gè)人若想人生有成,應(yīng)具備的最重要的特征就是保持信任。一個(gè)人只有堅(jiān)定不移地做到誠實(shí),才能贏得家人和商業(yè)伙伴的寶貴信任。
一方面,父母和孩子的關(guān)系必須建立在信任與誠信的基礎(chǔ)上。如果一位父親多次許諾兒子會(huì)帶他去看足球比賽,結(jié)果每次都取消計(jì)劃,那么慢慢地,兒子自然就不再相信父親說的話了。另一方面,在商界,沒有誠信的人遲早會(huì)落個(gè)身敗名裂。我目睹了一個(gè)人用欺騙毀掉了自己成功的機(jī)會(huì),他與別人的關(guān)系統(tǒng)統(tǒng)是以個(gè)人利益為基礎(chǔ),因而純粹是膚淺的。
信任是一份十分珍貴的財(cái)富,失去容易獲得難。從長遠(yuǎn)看,一個(gè)誠實(shí)的人將贏得周圍人的愛戴和尊敬。在我看來,這就是衡量成功人生的最重要的尺度。
7.引語評(píng)論:習(xí)慣
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay commenting on the remark “Good habits result from resisting temptation.” You can cite examples to illustrate your point.You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.There is a saying that “Good habits result from resisting temptation”, to which I can’t agree more.Unfortunately, lack of determined will? and social experience, teenagers frequently fall into the traps of temptations such as Internet games, smoking, drinking, and so on.In a bid to form good habits, one needs a strong will and perseverance to resist temptation.Numerous examples can be given but these will suffice.The outstanding habit of reading classic literature on a regular basis? is a case in point.Nevertheless, you would definitely have to spend less time on your favorite Internet games or fascinating mobile phones.Likewise, the good habit of doing exercises every day means repeatedly dragging oneself away from the TV series and cozy couch.These cases effectively clarify that good habits arises from resisting temptation.As has been mentioned above?, a wise mind and determined will should be gradually cultivated so that the adolescents can resist various bad temptations and form excellent habits.Just as Oscar Wilde, an esteemed British novelist put it, “I can resist everything except temptation.”
有句話說“好的習(xí)慣來自于抵制誘惑”,我非常同意。不幸的是,年輕人缺乏堅(jiān)定的意志和社會(huì)經(jīng)驗(yàn),總是陷入網(wǎng)絡(luò)游戲、吸煙、喝酒等誘惑的陷阱。
為了養(yǎng)成良好的習(xí)慣,人們需要堅(jiān)定的意志和堅(jiān)持不懈來抵制誘惑??梢越o出無數(shù)的例子,但下面這些例子足矣。經(jīng)常閱讀文學(xué)經(jīng)典的優(yōu)秀習(xí)慣就是其中之一。然而,你必須在心愛的網(wǎng)絡(luò)游戲或誘人的手機(jī)上花費(fèi)更少的時(shí)間。同樣,每天進(jìn)行鍛煉的良好習(xí)慣意味著日復(fù)一日強(qiáng)迫自己遠(yuǎn)離電視劇和舒適的沙發(fā)。這些例子清楚證明了好的習(xí)慣源于抵制誘惑。
綜上所述,我們年輕人應(yīng)該逐漸培養(yǎng)明智的心態(tài)和堅(jiān)定的意志,以便抵制各種各樣不好的誘惑并形成良好的習(xí)慣。正如著名的英國作家奧斯卡王爾德所說:“除了誘惑,我都能抵制。” 8.引語評(píng)論:幸福
Directions: For this part you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay on happiness by referring to the saying “Happiness is not the absence of problems, but the ability to deal with them.” You can cite examples to illustrate your point and then explain how you can develop your ability to deal with problems and be happy.You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.As an old saying goes, “Happiness is not the absence of problems, but the ability to deal with them.” Why is difficult to define, or rather discover and achieve happiness? I maintain the major determinant lies in a person’s attitudes.There is little correlation? between the circumstance of people’s lives and how happy they are.Instead, happiness lies in the struggle to be happy.To demonstrate, people sometimes go to extremes?, and frantically pursue money, power, high social status, and so on, which are all symbols of success—but never of happiness.Perhaps if they shifted their life’s goal from ultimate success to unswerving efforts and to a confidence that they will be successful one day they would be a great deal happier.Besides defining it, how do I achieve happiness? There is little doubt that? various people have diverse ways of going about this task.As for me, the most significant secret is realizing that happiness is a by-product of something else.The most obvious sources are those pursuits that give our lives a purpose.These can be anything from playing tennis to studying insects.The more passions we have, the more happiness we are likely to experience.正如諺語所說:“幸福并非沒有問題,而在于解決問題的能力”。為何很難定義、發(fā)現(xiàn)和獲得幸福?我認(rèn)為最重要的因素在于人們的態(tài)度。
人們的生活環(huán)境和他們多么幸福之間沒什么關(guān)系。相反,幸福在于獲取幸福的奮斗之中。例如,人們有時(shí)候會(huì)走極端,瘋狂追求金錢、權(quán)利、很高的社會(huì)地位等等。這些都是成功的象征,但并非幸福的象征。也許如果他們把人生目標(biāo)從終極成功轉(zhuǎn)向未來他們必將成功的自信,他們將會(huì)更加幸福。
除了定義幸福之外,我如何來獲取幸福?毫無疑問不同的人對(duì)于實(shí)現(xiàn)這一目標(biāo)有著迥然不同的方式。對(duì)我而言,最大的秘密就是認(rèn)識(shí)到幸福只是其他事情的一種副產(chǎn)品。最明顯的來源就是給予我們目標(biāo)的那些追求。這些追求可以使從打網(wǎng)球到研究昆蟲的任何事情。我們越有激情,我們越有可能感受到幸福。

COLLEGE STUDENTS SHOULD ATTEND PHYSICAL EXERCISE
Physical exercise is a necessary part of college life.However, still some college students do not like to attend sports activities, they think those activities waste their time and influence their study.Indeed, it is very unwise for college students to keep distance from physical exercise because physical exercise is not harmful but good to them.College students can benefit a lot from physical exercise.First of all, attending physical sports can help students build a strong body, and keep abounding energy.Moreover, physical exercise is an effective way to relief pressure and keep a pleasant move.Besides, by attending physical activities, students can have chances to contact and communicate with others which can help them improve their social skills.Nowadays, all colleges and universities have provided many sports facilities for students to do physical exercises, students can chose freely according to their interests and needs.As for me, I am keen on all kinds of ball games, especially football and basketball.From these games, I have gained a lot, and enjoined great pleasure.To conclude, physical exercise is beneficial to every college students, and therefore do not hesitate to attend sports activities.2010年6月大學(xué)英語四級(jí)范文背誦(02)
Online games
As a product of modern computer and the Internet, online games have become very popular among college students.Many students have enjoyed great pleasure and satisfaction from these games.But as we see, some students lacking self discipline on too much indulge in these games.So that their health and academic performances are affected.This phenomenon has caused much worry from the teachers and parents.However, some others argue that online games are not always harmful.They can train their ability of youngsters to respond to things quickly.Moreover, they can stimulate their imagination and their interest in computer science.More importantly, it does bring college students much pleasure and release their pressure greatly.Form my point of view, online games are wonderful entertainment if you play them in a clever way.When they interfere too much with your study, it is better for you to give them up at once, but if you have enough self control over them, you can certainly obtain real pleasure and benefit a lot from them.2010年6月大學(xué)英語四級(jí)范文背誦(03)
Certificates Craze on Campus
In recent years, to get a certificate has become a new craze among college students.Just randomly, ask a student on campus what he or she is busy doing, quite possibly, you may get the answer that he or she is preparing for a certificate of some kind.Why does this craze appear? There are two mainly reasons behind this phenomenon.First, it is the employments pressure that forces college students to get more certificates.With the admission expansion of colleges, a large more graduates have to face the fierce competition in the job markets.How can one make himself more competitive, more certificates at hands maybe.Second, the diplomas and certificates are still important standard by which many employers measure a person’s ability in order to increase qualification for a job, the students compel themselves to run from one exam to another.Form my point of view, we should be more rational when it comes to certificates, since certificates do not necessarily prove one’s ability, being crazy in getting certificates blindly.It is nothing but wasting time.To conclude, we should focus on improving our ability but not getting a certificate of no practical value.2010年6月大學(xué)英語四級(jí)范文背誦(04)
How to deal with peer pressure?
College students are often obsessed by peer pressure from their classmates or schoolmates.Facing others’ hard work and good performance in academic and other aspects, many students feel great pressure.Then, how to deal with this kind of peer pressure? The following measures can be taken.First, you should take a careful look at your present level and set a practical object.You needn’t always compare yourselves with those on the top and just make your efforts towards your object.Second, under peer pressure, you shouldn’t feel discouraged and pressed.Instead, you should make it your motivation for harder work.Finally, if you find pressure is nearly beyond your control, you’d better turn to professional psychological guidance.As a college student, I have no way to avoid peer pressure, so I try to figure out the way to do with it well.I set my own goal, including my practical level and my position among the peers.Because of my focus on my own goal, I have no time and energy to think about the pressure.So I’m little troubled by it.To conclude, we should not escape from peer pressure, but learn to make best use of it, since it can hardly be avoided.2010年6月大學(xué)英語四級(jí)范文背誦(21)
Should Class Attendance Be Required?
Nowadays required class attendance is very common at colleges and universities.Most people take it for granted that students should attend all the classes required by school.However still some others do not agree with this argument.They don't think it should be compulsory for students to attend class.As for me, I'm in favor of the latter opinion.The following reasons can account for my preference.First, the rigid attendance policy does not benefit students' studies.For example, a student may have to give up a lecture which he finds useful to his studies simply because he dare not run the rest of being penalized for his absence in
his course.Second,the lectures of some teachers are not always constructive.A student should be allowed to tell for himself whether an inclass experience is worthwhile.Finally and most importantly, there is no proving and corelation between class attendance and academic performance.A student may never be absent in a course, but who knows whether or not he is just sitting there daydreaming all the time.In conclusion, class attendance may secure one hundred percent attendance for a course.But it is not really beneficial to us.As college students we should learn to make the right decisions for ourselves about whether to attend a class.2010年6月大學(xué)英語四級(jí)范文背誦(22)
Machine Translation and Human Translation
In recent years, all kinds of electronic dictionaries and translation software have been developed.With the development of technology,these electronic dictionaries and software can help us translate not only words and phrases, but even sentences and paragraphs.So some people come to the conclusion that machine translation will replace traditional human translation.However,I couldn't agree with this argument.Admittedly,translation machines and software bring much convenience for our study and work.With them,we needn't bother to live through the heavy dictionaries.However,machine translation has its disadvantages.First,generally speaking, translation software only can give direct translation, which is sometimes not in accordance with the original articles in logic and meaning.Second,some people depend on electronic dictionaries and software too much, which is unfavorable to their improvement in language ability.Considering the above mentioned, I think that machine translation cannot replace human translation, but it is a good complementary to human translation.Therefore,we should combine machine translation with human translation effectively.2010年6月大學(xué)英語四級(jí)范文背誦(23)
How to make full use of reference books?
Nowadays reference books have become a problem of great concern for both teachers and students.There are many kinds of reference books available in the book market.A smarter use of these books is certainly beneficial.But the misuse and over-use of them may cause a lot of problems.First of all,teaching reference books might make the students less attentive in class.Armed with reference books,many students may think that they know what the teacher is going to talk about.So they may not listen to the teacher in class at all.Secondly,some students rely on the reference books too much, which is unfavorable to the improvement of their ability to work out the solutions for themselves.Thirdly,there are some reference books with many mistakes, which might mislead the students.Considering the above mentioned, we should be careful in selecting and using reference books.Firstly,we should check the contents of the book carefully,but not only pay attention to the brand of the publishing house.In addition we can turn to the recommendation of teachers and students around us.Besides,reference books are just an assistant, so we shouldn't rely on them too much.Only in this way can we make full use of reference books.2010年6月大學(xué)英語四級(jí)范文背誦(24)
University mergence is a new trend in university development.As a hot topic on and off campus, it has received much of public attention.People's attitudes towards it vary greatly.People who against it see it as a hasty decision, which has some potential problems.They claim, for instance, located far away from each other, universities involved with mergence are usually faced with the tough problem of management.Other people who favor it see it as a step that universities take towards the goal of first-rate world university.They argue that, only through mergence can university take full play of advantages and make up their disadvantages.Like the mergence between Tsinghua University and the Institude of Applied Arts.The university's strengths in the field of high techonology complement the latter university that has a reputation for art.They also point out that by mergence the Chinese universities will increase their competitie power in the world.In my opinion, the university mergence has more advantages than disadvantages, but the university should take into account the potential dangers resulting from the mergence.2010年大學(xué)英語四六級(jí)考試精讀薈萃100篇(51)
Passage Twenty-one(The Result of the Falling US Dollar)
Like a ticking time bomb, the falling dollar has grabbed the attention of Japan and West Germany, forcing them to consider adopting economic polices the United States advocates.The U.S.government wants the dollar to fall because as the dollar declines in value against the yen and Deutsche mark, U.S.good becomes cheaper.U.S.companies then sell more at home and abroad, and U.S.trade deficit declines.Cries for trade protection abate, and the global free-trade system is preserved.Then, the cheaper dollar makes it cheaper for many foreign investors to snap up U.S.stocks.That prompts heavy buying from abroad—especially from Japan.Also, if the trade picture is improving, that means U.S.companies eventually will be more competitive.Consequently, many investors are buying shares of export-oriented U.S.companies in anticipation of better profits in the next year or so.But that is a rather faddish notion right now;if corporate earnings are disappointing in interest rates, the stock market rally could stall.Improving U.S.competitiveness means a decline in another’s competitiveness.Japan and West Germany are verging on recession.Their export-oriented economies are facing major problems.Japan is worried about the damage the strong yen will do to Japanese trade.West Germany is also worried.Share prices in Frankfurt plummeted this past week.Bonn is thought to be considering a cut in interest rates to boost its economy.Could the falling dollar get out of hand? If the dollar falls too far, investors might lose confidence in U.S.investments—especially the government bond market.The money to finance the federal budget and trade deficits could migrate elsewhere.Inflation could flare up, too, since Japanese and German manufacturers will eventually pass along price hikes—and U.S.companies might follow suit to increase their profit margins.The U.S.federal Reserve then might need to step in and stabilize the dollar by raising interest rates.And higher interest rates could cause the U.S.economy to slow down and end the Wall Street Rally.Worried about these side effects, Federal Reserve chairman Paul Volcher has said the dollar has fallen far enough.What is the equilibrium level? Probably near where it is or slightly lower.It all depends on when the U.S.trade deficit turns around or if investors defect from U.S.Treasury Bonds.“It requires a good deal of political patience on the part of the U.S.Congress,” says Dr.Cline, “And there must be an expectation of patience on the part of private investors.The chance are relatively good that we will avoid an investor break or panic.”

Passage Twenty(NCB in Interpol)
The organization known to the world as Interpol has sometimes been described as an outfit of chisel-jawed gimlet-eyed crime fighters who put their lives in jeopardy every working hour.Less flatteringly, Interpol has also been described as a huge filing cabinet, stuffed with clerks choking on their own statistics.As with most generalities, there is some truth in both statements.There are, certainly, some grim battlers of crime to be found working with Interpol.There are, just as surely, those drones shuffling mountains of paper whose cheeks are sallow from indoor life.Consider the charisma of the name alone: INTERPOL, the international police force.Continents leaped in a single bound, oceans crossed in the space of a breath, villains watched by eyes that never sleep.Surprisingly, a lot of it happens almost that way.Four groups coordinate and direct the activities of Interpol.One of them is the National Central Bureaus, or NCBs, bodies designated by the member nations to serve as their link with Interpol.These are the front-line troops, the action people.IN the United States, the Treasury Department is the National Central Bureau.In the United Kingdom, it is Scotland Yard;the Questura in Italy and the Melbourne City Police in Australia.Because police organization varies from country, the NCBs were established to act as the one special group to handle Interpol chores and unsure maximum cooperation between nations.Each NCB is usually an official government body with police powers if a country has only one central police authority, that body becomes the National Centre Bureau.Of course, any service appointed as an NCB is bound to its nation’s law and authority and retains its national title.Each NCB is connected by radio to the regional station for its geographic zone.The regional stations are connected to the Central Station in France.The radio network is versatile.Network stations can monitor the Central station or any regional station.Because of this messages can be broadcast to more than one station at a time.A coding system determines the urgency of each message so that those with high priority can be given precedence.Besides, other communication tools, such as radio-teleprinters and phototelegraphy equipment.Permit rapid transfers of fingerprints and photographs.Sometimes ever more advanced technology is employed.When the police all over the world were looking for a Canadian named George Leray, they turned to the Early Bird Satellite.Leray had led his gang on a daring holdup of a Montreal bank and gotten away with $4 million.Scotland Yard broadcast Leray’s photo to the world by satellite.An American who saw the picture in Florida recognized Leray as a man who was living on a yacht in Fort Lauderdale under an assumed name.The police were alerted and arrested Leray.1.What is the best title for this passage?

難句譯注
1.The organization known to the world as Interpol has sometimes been described as an outfit of chisel-jawed gimlet-eyed crime fighters who put their lives in jeopardy every working hour.Less flatteringly, Interpol has also been described as a huge filing cabinet, stuffed with clerks choking on their own statistics.[結(jié)構(gòu)簡析] 兩個(gè)句子都是被動(dòng)語氣,都有分詞短語。前一句known 修飾organization,后一句stuffed 修飾 cabinet.[參考譯文] 聞名于世的國際刑警組織長被描述成一群儀表英俊,目光犀利和罪犯斗爭的戰(zhàn)士的群體組織。他們的生命無時(shí)無刻不處于危險(xiǎn)之中。國際刑警組織也被描述為一個(gè)大型的檔案室,里面擠滿了工作人員,他們被自己的統(tǒng)計(jì)數(shù)字忙得喘不過氣來。
2.There are, certainly, some grim battlers of crime to be found working with Interpol.There are, just as surely, those drones shuffling mountains of paper whose cheeks are sallow from indoor life.[結(jié)構(gòu)簡析] 這是兩個(gè)句子,都是引導(dǎo)詞there句型。
[參考譯文] 這里肯定能見到和罪犯斗爭的冷酷無情的斗士在國際刑警組織工作,同樣可以肯定,這里有那些懶洋洋的人在翻動(dòng)如山的文件檔案,他們的臉頰由于室內(nèi)生活而消瘦如刀。
3.Continents leaped in a single bound, oceans crossed in the space of a breath, villains watched by eyes that never sleep.[結(jié)構(gòu)簡析] 這是省略句。正常句型應(yīng)該是Continents are leaped in?,Oceans are crossed in?, villains are watched by ?。
[參考譯文] 大洲可一步跨過。大洋可以在轉(zhuǎn)眼之間越過,壞蛋可以由日夜不眠的眼睛緊盯著。
4.These are the front-line troops, the action people.[參考譯文] 這些人是前線軍,具體行動(dòng)的人(執(zhí)行人)。
寫作方法與文章大意
這是一篇介紹國際刑警組織的文章。采用一般到具體的寫作方法。頭二段是對(duì)國際刑警組織的一般介紹,后面是具體到NCB,組成國際刑警組織四個(gè)部門之一——國家中心局是各國負(fù)責(zé)和國際刑警保持聯(lián)系部門,如英國的蘇格蘭場,美國的財(cái)政部等,最后一段講聯(lián)系的多種渠道和方式方法。
答案祥解
1.C.國際刑警組織。上面文章大意已經(jīng)說明介紹國際刑警組織,其職能性質(zhì)只是附帶涉及。所以
A.B.不對(duì)。D.迅速發(fā)展,文章沒有涉及。
2.A.文章是一般到具體的組織結(jié)構(gòu)。
B.因果 和 C.對(duì)比。不對(duì)。D.展開,任何文章都得展開。
3.C.stuff=crowd 辦公室擠滿了工作人員,忙于分析處理收集來的信息和數(shù)據(jù)。見難句譯注1參考譯文。
A.有許多雇員忙于工作;B.許多辦公室人員忙于各種文件;D.忙于自己信息的工人。這三項(xiàng)都沒有。
4.B.無線電通訊??v然第四段內(nèi)提及種種手段:衛(wèi)星,無線電,打印機(jī),傳真電報(bào)。但無線電通訊仍是他們運(yùn)用的最方便和最得力的工具,因?yàn)樗麄兊臒o線電網(wǎng)絡(luò)靈活多用,網(wǎng)絡(luò)站能監(jiān)控中央和各地區(qū)站點(diǎn),而且一次能把信息傳至好幾臺(tái)。至于衛(wèi)星,電報(bào),傳真電報(bào)只是在特殊情況下運(yùn)行,如快速傳送照片,指紋等。所以A.衛(wèi)星,C.無線電打印機(jī),D.傳真電報(bào),不對(duì)。
