2000年1月大學(xué)英語(yǔ)四級(jí)(CET-4)真題試卷
Part I Listening Comprehension(20 minutes)
Part II Reading Comprehension(35 minutes)
Directions: There are 4 passages in this part.Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements.For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C)and D).You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Passage One
Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.Unless we spend money to spot and prevent asteroids(小行星)now, one might crash into Earth and destroy life as we know it, say some scientists.Asteroids are bigger versions of the meteoroids(流星)that race across the night sky.Most orbit the sun far from Earth and don’t threaten us.But there are also thousands of asteroids whose orbits put them on a collision course with Earth.Buy $50 million worth of new telescopes right now.Then spend $10 million a year for the next 25 years to locate most of the space rocks.By the time we spot a fatal one, the scientists say, we’ll have a way to change its course.Some scientists favor pushing asteroids off course with nuclear weapons.But the cost wouldn’t be cheap.Is it worth it? Two things experts consider when judging any risk re: 1)How likely the event is;and 2)How bad the consequences if the event occurs.Experts think an asteroid big enough to destroy lots of life might strike Earth once every 500,000 years.Sounds pretty rare—but if one did fall, it would be the end of the world.“If we don’t take care of these big asteroids, they’ll take care of us,” says one scientist.“It’s that simple.”
The cure, though, might be worse than the disease.Do we really want fleets of nuclear weapons sitting around on Earth? “The world has less to fear from doomsday(毀滅性的)rocks than from a great nuclear fleet set against them,” said a New York Times article.21.What does the passage say about asteroids and meteoroids?
A)They are heavenly bodies different in composition.B)They are heavenly bodies similar in nature.C)There are more asteroids than meteoroids.D)Asteroids are more mysterious than meteoroids.22.What do scientists say about the collision of an asteroid with Earth?
A)It is very unlikely but the danger exists.B)Such a collision might occur once every 25 years.C)Collisions of smaller asteroids with Earth occur more often than expected.D)It’s still too early to say whether such a collision might occur.23.What do people think of the suggestion of using nuclear weapons to alter the courses of asteroids?
A)It sounds practical but it may not solve the problem.B)It may create more problems than it might solve.C)It is a waste of money because a collision of asteroids with Earth is very unlikely.D)Further research should be done before it is proved applicable.24.We can conclude from the passage that ________.A)while pushing asteroids off course nuclear weapons would destroy the world
B)asteroids racing across the night sky are likely to hit Earth in the near future
C)the worry about asteroids can be left to future generations since it is unlikely to happen in our lifetime
D)workable solutions still have to be found to prevent a collision of asteroids with Earth
25.Which of the following best describes the author’s tone in this passage?
A)Optimistic.B)Critical.C)Objective.D)Arbitrary.Passage Two
Questions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.Believe it or not, optical illusion(錯(cuò)覺(jué))can cut highway crashes.Japan is a case in point.It has reduced automobile crashes on some roads by nearly 75 percent using a simple optical illusion.Bent stripes, called chevrons(人字形), painted on the roads make drivers think that they are driving faster than they really are, and thus drivers slow down.Now the American Automobile Association Foundation for Traffic Safety in Washington D.C.is planning to repeat Japan’s success.Starting next year, the foundation will paint chevrons and other patterns of stripes on selected roads around the country to test how well the patterns reduce highway crashes.Excessive speed plays a major role in as much as one fifth of all fatal traffic accidents, according to the foundation.To help reduce those accidents, the foundation will conduct its tests in areas where speed-related hazards are the greatest—curves, exit slopes, traffic circles, and bridges.Some studies suggest that straight, horizontal bars painted across roads can initially cut the average speed of drivers in half.However, traffic often returns to full speed within months as drivers become used to seeing the painted bars.1
Chevrons, scientists say, not only give drivers the impression that they are driving faster than they really are but also make a lane appear to be narrower.The result is a longer lasting reduction in highway sped and the number of traffic accidents.26.The passage mainly discusses ________.A)a new way of highway speed controlB)a new pattern for painting highways
C)a new approach to training driversD)a new type of optical illusion
27.On roads painted with chevrons, drivers tend to feel that ________.A)they should avoid speed-related hazardsB)they are driving in the wrong lane
C)they should slow down their speedD)they are approaching the speed limit
28.The advantage of chevrons over straight, horizontal bars is that the former ________.A)can keep drivers awakeB)can cut road accidents in half
C)will have a longer effect on driversD)will look more attractive
29.The American Automobile Association Foundation for Traffic Safety plans to ________.A)try out the Japanese method in certain areasB)change the road signs across the country
C)replace straight, horizontal bars with chevronsD)repeat the Japanese road patterns
30.What does the author say about straight, horizontal bars painted across roads?
A)They are falling out of use in the United States.B)They tend to be ignored by drivers in a short period of time.C)They are applicable only on broad roads.D)They cannot be applied successfully to traffic circles.Passage Three
Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage.Amtrak(美國(guó)鐵路客運(yùn)公司)was experiencing a downswing in ridership(客運(yùn)量)along the lines comprising its rail system.Of major concern to Amtrak and its advertising agency DDB Needham, were the long-distance western routes where ridership had been declining significantly.] At one time, trains were the only practical way to cross the vast areas of the west.Trains were fast, very luxurious, and quite convenient compared to other forms of transportation existing at the time.However, times change and the automobile became America’s standard of convenience.Also, air travel had easily established itself as the fastest method of traveling great distances.Therefore, the task for DDB Needham was to encourage consumers to consider other aspects of train travel in order to change their attitudes and increase the likelihood that trains would be considered for travel in the west.Two portions of the total market were targeted: 1)anxious fliers—those concerned with safety, relaxation, and cleanliness and 2)travel-lovers—those viewing themselves as relaxed, casual, and interested in the travel experience as part of their vacation.The agency then developed a campaign that focused on travel experiences such as freedom, escape, relaxation, and enjoyment of the great western outdoors.It stressed experiences gained by using the trains and portrayed western train trips as wonderful adventures.Advertisements showed pictures of the beautiful scenery that could be enjoyed along some of the more famous western routes and emphasized the romantic names of some of these trains(Empire Builder, etc.).These ads were strategically placed among family-oriented TV shows and programs involving nature and America in order to most effectively reach target audiences.Results were impressive.The Empire Builder, which was focused on in one ad, enjoyed a 15 percent increase in profits on its Chicago to Seattle route.31.What’s the author’s purpose in writing this passage?
A)To show the inability of trains to compete with planes with respect to speed and convenience.B)To stress the influence of the automobile on America’s standard of convenience.C)To emphasize the function of travel agencies in market promotion.D)To illustrate the important role of persuasive communication in changing consumer attitudes.32.It can be inferred from the passage that the drop in Amtrak ridership was due to the fact that ________.A)trains were not suitable for short distance passenger transportation
B)trains were not the fastest and most convenient form of transportation
C)trains were not as fast and convenient as they used to be
D)trains could not compete with planes in terms of luxury and convenience
33.To encourage consumers to travel by train, DDB Needham emphasized ________.A)the freedom and convenience provided on trainsB)the practical aspects of train travel
C)the adventurous aspects of train tripsD)the safety and cleanliness of train trips
34.The train ads were placed among family-oriented TV programs involving nature and America because ________.A)they could focus on meaningful travel experiences
B)they could increase the effectiveness of the TV programs
C)their profits could be increased by some 15 percent
D)most travel-lovers and nervous fliers were believed to be among the audiences
35.According to the passage, the Empire Builder enjoyed an increase in ridership and profits because ________.A)the attractiveness of its name and route was effectively advertised
B)it provided an exciting travel experience
C)its passengers could enjoy the great western outdoors
D)it was widely advertised in newspapers and magazines in Chicago and Seattle
Passage Four
Questions 36 to 40 are based on the following passage.Why does cram go bad faster than butter? Some researchers think they have the answer, and it comes down to the structure of the food, not its chemical composition—a finding that could help rid some processed foods of chemical preservatives.Cream and butter contain pretty much the same substances, so why cream should sour much faster has been a mystery.Both are emulsions—tiny globules(小球體)of one liquid evenly distributed throughout another.The difference lies in what’s in the globules and what’s in the surrounding liquid, says Brocklehurst, who led the investigation.In cream, fatty globules drift about in a sea of water.In butter, globules of a watery solution are locked away in a sea of fat.The bacteria which make the food go bad prefer to live in the watery regions of the mixture.“This means that in cream, the bacteria are free to grow throughout the mixture,” he says.When the situation is reversed, the bacteria are locked away in compartments(隔倉(cāng)室)buried deep in the sea of fat.Trapped in this way, individual colonies cannot spread and rapidly run out of nutrients(養(yǎng)料).They also slowly poison themselves with their waste products.“In butter, you get a self-limiting system which stops the bacteria growing,” says Brocklehurst.The researchers are already working with food companies keen to see if their products can be made resistant to bacterial attack through alterations to the food’s structure.Brocklehurst believes it will be possible to make the emulsions used in salad cream, for instance, more like that in butter.The key will be to do this while keeping the salad cream liquid and not turning it into a solid lump.36.The significance of Brocklehurst’s research is that ________.A)it suggested a way to keep some foods fresh without preservatives
B)it discovered tiny globules in both cream and butter
C)it revealed the secret of how bacteria multiply in cream and butter
D)it found that cream and butter share the same chemical composition
37.According to the researchers, cream sours fast than butter because bacteria ________.A)are more evenly distributed in creamB)multiply more easily in cream than in butter
C)live on less fat in cream than in butterD)produce less waste in cream than in butter
38.According to Brocklehurst, we can keep cream fresh by ________.A)removing its fatB)killing the bacteria
C)reducing its water contentD)altering its structure
39.The word “colonies”(Line 2, Para.4)refers to ________.A)tiny globulesB)watery regionsC)bacteria communitiesD)little compartments
40.Commercial application of the research finding will be possible if salad cream can be made resistant to bacterial attack ________.A)by varying its chemical compositionB)by turning it into a solid lump
C)while keeping its structure unchangedD)while retaining its liquid form

越來(lái)越多的中國(guó)年輕人正在對(duì)旅游產(chǎn)生興趣,這是今年來(lái)的新趨勢(shì)。年輕游客數(shù)量的不斷增加,可以歸因于他們迅速提高的收入和探索外部世界的好奇心。隨著旅行多了,年輕人在大城市和著名景點(diǎn)花的時(shí)間少了,他們反而更為偏遠(yuǎn)的地方所吸引。有些人甚至選擇長(zhǎng)途背包旅行。最近調(diào)查顯示,很多年輕人想要通過(guò)旅行體驗(yàn)不同的文化、豐富知識(shí)、擴(kuò)展視野。
Chinese young people in mounting numbers come to be interested in tourism, which is a new trend of this year.Rising number of young tourists, can be attributed to their rapidly increase income and the curiosity to explore the outside world.With the increase of traveling, the young spend less time in big cities and famous attractions;they are more attracted to remote locations.Some people even choose backpacking trip for long-distance.Recent survey indicates that many young people want to travel to experience different culture, enrich knowledge and broaden view.2014年12月 大學(xué)英語(yǔ)四級(jí)考試真題(第三套)
中國(guó)的互聯(lián)網(wǎng)社區(qū)是全世界發(fā)展最快的。2010年,中國(guó)約有4.2億網(wǎng)民(netizens),并且人數(shù)還在迅速增長(zhǎng)。互聯(lián)網(wǎng)的日漸流行帶來(lái)了重大的社會(huì)變化。中國(guó)網(wǎng)民往往不同美國(guó)網(wǎng)民。美國(guó)網(wǎng)民更多的是受實(shí)際需要的驅(qū)使,用互聯(lián)網(wǎng)為工具發(fā)電子郵件、買(mǎi)賣(mài)商品、規(guī)劃旅程或付款。中國(guó)網(wǎng)民更多是出于社交原因使用互聯(lián)網(wǎng),因而更廣泛地使用QQ、聊天室等。
China’s Internet community develops fastest all over the world.There were nearly 420 million netizens in China in 2010, and the number is still getting larger and larger.The increasing popularity of the Internet has created a significant social change.The Chinese netizens are different from the American netizens.American netizens are more driven by the real necessity, and they use the Internet to send emails, do some shopping, make a travel plan or make a payment.However, Chinese netizens use the Internet mainly out of the social intercourse , so the chat rooms and QQ are widely used by them.2014年6月 大學(xué)英語(yǔ)四級(jí)考試真題(第一套)
中國(guó)應(yīng)進(jìn)一步發(fā)展核能,因?yàn)楹穗娔壳爸徽计淇偘l(fā)電量的2%。該比例在所有核國(guó)家中居30位,幾乎是最低的。
2011年3月日本核電站事故后,中國(guó)的核能開(kāi)發(fā)停了下來(lái),中止審批新的核電站,并開(kāi)展全國(guó)性的核安全檢查。到2012年10月,審批才又謹(jǐn)慎地恢復(fù)。
隨著技術(shù)和安全措施的改進(jìn),發(fā)生核事故的可能性完全可以降到最低程度。換句話說(shuō),核能是可以安全開(kāi)發(fā)和利用的。
China should further develop nuclear energy, because nuclear power currently accounts for only 2% of its total generating capacity.The proportion ranks the 30th among all countries possessing nuclear energy, which is almost the lowest.China’s nuclear power development stopped after the nuclear power station accident in Japan in March, 2011.The approval of new nuclear power plants was suspended, and the nationwide nuclear energy safety inspection started.It wasn’t until October, 2012 was examine and approval restored cautiously.With the improvement of technology and safety measures, the possibility of nuclear accidents can definitely be minimized.In other words, the nuclear energy can be exploited and utilized safely.2014年6月 大學(xué)英語(yǔ)四級(jí)考試真題(第二套)
中國(guó)教育工作者早就認(rèn)識(shí)到讀書(shū)對(duì)于國(guó)家的重要意義。有些教育工作者2003年就建議設(shè)立全民讀書(shū)日。他們強(qiáng)調(diào),人們應(yīng)當(dāng)讀好書(shū),尤其是經(jīng)典著作。通過(guò)閱讀,人們能更好地學(xué)會(huì)感恩、有責(zé)任心和與人合作,而教育的目的正是要培養(yǎng)這些基本素質(zhì)。閱讀對(duì)于中小學(xué)生尤為重要,假如他們沒(méi)有在這個(gè)關(guān)鍵時(shí)期培養(yǎng)閱讀的興趣,以后要養(yǎng)成閱讀的習(xí)慣就很難了。
Chinese educators have long known that reading is of great importance to a nation.Some of them even proposed to establish the National Reading Day in 2003.They emphasized that people should read good books, especially the classic ones.By reading, people can better learn to be grateful, responsible and cooperative, the very basic qualities education intends to foster.Reading is especially important for students in the primary school and middle school;if the interest of reading is not fostered at that critical period, it will be quite difficult to cultivate the habit of reading later.2014年6月 大學(xué)英語(yǔ)四級(jí)考試真題(第三套)

“你要茶還是咖啡?”是用餐人常被問(wèn)到的問(wèn)題。許多西方人會(huì)選咖啡,而中國(guó)人則會(huì)選茶。相傳,中國(guó)的一位帝王于五千多年前發(fā)現(xiàn)了茶,并用來(lái)治病。在明清(the Ming and Qing Dynasties)期間,茶館遍布全國(guó)。飲茶在6世紀(jì)傳到了日本,但直到17、18世紀(jì)才傳到歐美。如今,茶是世界上最流行的飲料(beverage)之一。茶是中國(guó)的民族飲品,也是中國(guó)傳統(tǒng)和文化的重要組成部分。
This is what diners are often asked, “Would you like tea or coffee?” Many Westerners favor coffee while the Chinese tend to choose tea.Tradition has it that an ancient Chinese emperor discovered the tea five thousand years ago and used it to treat illnesses.During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, teahouses spread all over the country.Tea drinking was introduced to Japan in the 16th century while it had not been introduced into Europe and America until the 17th and 18th centuries.Nowadays, tea is one of the most popular beverages in the world.It is not only a kind of Chinese national drink, but also an important part of Chinese tradition and culture.2013年6月 大學(xué)英語(yǔ)四級(jí)考試真題(第一套)
春節(jié)貼年畫(huà)(pasting New Year paintings)的風(fēng)俗源自于往房子外面的門(mén)上貼門(mén)神(Door Gods)的傳統(tǒng)。隨著木質(zhì)雕刻評(píng)(board carvings)的出現(xiàn),年畫(huà)包含了更廣泛的主題,最出名的就是門(mén)神和三大神——福神、薪神和壽神(Three Gods of Blessing, Salary and Longevity),寓意著莊家豐收、家畜興旺和慶祝春節(jié)。年畫(huà)的四大產(chǎn)地分別是蘇州桃花塢、天津楊柳青、河北武強(qiáng)和山東濰坊。現(xiàn)在中國(guó)農(nóng)村依然保持著年畫(huà)的傳統(tǒng),而在城市里很少有人貼年畫(huà)。
The custom of pasting New Year paintings in the Spring Festival originated from the tradition of pasting Door Gods on the external doors of the houses.With the creation of board carvings, New Year paintings cover a wider range of subjects.The most famous ones are Door Gods and Three Gods of Blessing, Salary and Longevity, signifying the abundant harvest of crops, the prosperity of domestic animals and the celebration of the Spring Festival.Four producing areas of New Year paintings are Taohuawu of Suzhou, Yangliuqing of Tianjin, Wuqiang of Hebei and Weifang of Shangdong.Now the tradition of pasting New Year paintings is still kept in rural China, while it is seldom followed in cities.2013年6月 大學(xué)英語(yǔ)四級(jí)考試真題(第二套)

On Excessive Packaging
Nowadays the phenomena of excessive packaging of goods are prevailing in our society: clothes swathed in tissue paper, placed in cardboard box and finally wrapped in well-designed plastic bags, imported bottles of grape wine packed in wooden boxes, fruits put in hand-woven baskets, to name but a few.There are several causes of excessive packaging.The first reason is that a large number of companies believe that they can attract customers’ attention and stimulate their purchasing desire by over-packaging their goods, thus gaining more profits.On the other hand, quite a number of consumers mistakenly hold that the more delicate the package is, the better the quality will be, thus encouraging excessive packaging.In my point of view, excessive packaging has disastrous consequences, including the loss of precious resources, excessive consumption of water and energy, and unnecessary extraction of scarce land for landfill.To solve the problem, it’s necessary to take the following measures.First, laws and regulations must be made to restrict excessive packaging of companies.In addition, we need to raise consumer’s awareness that excessive packaging doesn’t equal to high quality and advocate packaging recycling.【解析】

Nothing Succeeds Without a Strong Will
With the coming of a brand new era full of opportunities and innovations, the issue of how to succeed has aroused growing concern in the public.Although there are thousands of ways to success, in my opinion, a strong will is the important guarantee of success, just as a proverb says, “Where there is a will there is a way”.The long history of human being has proved that only those who have a strong will can fulfill great mission and achieve success at last.Nothing succeeds without a strong will.Take Mao Zedong, one of the great founders of the People’s Republic of China, as an example.If without the strong will to save Chinese people from heavy disaster and build a prosperous, democratic and civilized new country, how could he drive Japanese out of China and become such a famous leader in the world?
If we as a student want to be successful in the future, the strong will on hardworking is the most important.Nowadays, we have been entering an information age with rapid update of knowledge.Who firstly seizes and keeps up with the development of advanced information can succeeds at last.Therefore, studying hard to get more knowledge and improve our ability to handle complicated problems as possible is the only way to lay the solid foundation of future success.Nothing Succeeds Without a Strong Will
“Where there is a will, there is way” is an old proverb which almost everyone knows, but not all understand it so well.Actually, it means that if you are really resolved to do something, no matter how difficult it might be, never give up.In fact, strong will is a kind of good quality which successful people should own.A great man is always one who has a firm resolution and an inflexible spirit.One will never succeed all his life without a firm will to get the final victory.As a rule, great tasks are accomplished by men of strong will.For example, Dr.Sun Yatsen, the founder of the Republic of China, set the Chinese people free from the Manchurian rule through a long period of hard struggle.Many of his attempts failed and many of his followers were killed, but he had an inflexible spirit and stuck to his cause.Finally, he made the revolution of 1911 a success.The same is true of men in all walks of life.It is quite obvious that there is nothing difficult in the world, if you make up your mind to do it, you will certainly accomplish your end.That stands to reason.So as for students like us, we should have a good attitude towards failure.Facing with difficulties and failures, keep heads up and never give up.Besides, we should make full preparation, though strong will help us overcome the difficulties, it is not for person who has no preparation.2011年6月大學(xué)英語(yǔ)四級(jí)考試

Doing Shopping Online
With the development of the Internet, shopping is no longer a tiring thing.Just click your mouse to choose the articles you like, and the purchase is done.You don't even have to step out of the room.It seems all easy and quick.However, people's opinions vary on this trend.Some believe that on line shopping is time and money saving.With plentiful selection options, they can buy whatever they like at any time convenient.Still others insist that mis-purchasing alone is annoying enough, not to mention the credibility of the sellers and the safety of their accounts.In my opinion, the convenience and excitement of on line shopping is beyond all doubts.In the meantime, we must always bear in mind that certain traps do exist, so we'd better make sure the sellers are trustworthy before buying.In addition, we should also guard ourselves from the potential hackers who might steal our account information.文章點(diǎn)評(píng):
這是一篇“中等偏上”的學(xué)生作文。本文先對(duì)網(wǎng)購(gòu)熱潮進(jìn)行簡(jiǎn)介,引出全篇;接著對(duì)網(wǎng)絡(luò)購(gòu)物的正反兩方面進(jìn)行對(duì)比;最后提出自己的看法結(jié)束全篇。整體看思路清晰,邏輯嚴(yán)密,行文流暢,用語(yǔ)較為地道。
下面說(shuō)一下這篇文章的有待提高之處:
1.文章結(jié)構(gòu)上,能看得出該同學(xué)試圖采用議論文的“三段式”(提出問(wèn)題、分析問(wèn)題、解決問(wèn)題)。但是,以“With the development of the Internet”為開(kāi)首語(yǔ),有些落入俗套,有硬套模板的嫌疑。稍加注意,應(yīng)該能寫(xiě)出更好的句子。
2.微觀語(yǔ)言點(diǎn)方面,有些語(yǔ)句稍顯啰嗦,比如With plentiful selection options? 簡(jiǎn)化成With plentiful selections? 更好,意思沒(méi)有絲毫減損,表達(dá)力反而增強(qiáng)許多。

本次四級(jí)作文探討的是最近的熱點(diǎn)話題之一——互聯(lián)網(wǎng)網(wǎng)購(gòu)。目前網(wǎng)購(gòu)的風(fēng)靡程度是眾所周知,因此,考生對(duì)于該話題還是比較熟悉的。但是,比較特殊的是,題干所列出的要求的是考生從一個(gè)客觀的角度來(lái)闡述該話題,而不是簡(jiǎn)單陳述自己的意見(jiàn)。所以,考生應(yīng)當(dāng)審清楚題,在寫(xiě)作時(shí)不僅僅要列出網(wǎng)購(gòu)的優(yōu)點(diǎn),還必須給出相應(yīng)的缺點(diǎn)。

第三點(diǎn)要求考生對(duì)于第二段列出的缺點(diǎn)給出自己的建議。此處我們可以根據(jù)第二段列出的缺點(diǎn)方面給出相應(yīng)的防范應(yīng)對(duì)措施。
整篇作文話題比較好展開(kāi),難度不大,只要考生審好題,列出相應(yīng)點(diǎn),相信作文不會(huì)他是難題。

Recently, with the idea of making and maintaining “a green earth” being the focus of the society, “green campus” has become a more and more popular concept in universities or colleges, which, undoubtedly, will bring us an ever-lasting benefit to both our campus and our society.The concept of “green campus” does not only mean a green environment but also refers to an environmental sense in people’s mind.Campus plays a crucial role in educating the young generation and the consciousness of “green campus” will definitely produce a profound effect on students’ various environmental protection activities after their graduation.What’s more, the young generation is under the burden of severe environmental pollution and there are many problems waiting for them to solve.To make “green campus” come true, firstly, it is necessary to work out effective principles for the development of sustainable and recyclable campus.Secondly, it calls for people’s awareness of the serious pollution around us and actual action to reduce the waste.Last but not least, it is necessary to strengthen the ties between campus and society, so as to ensure that “green campus” can work smoothly with the co-effort of the whole society.2008年12月四級(jí)作文

In our daily life, most people use disposable plastic bags for shopping and other purposes.However, the excessive use of disposable plastic bags has resulted in a great damage to our environment.The problems brought by disposable plastic bags are various, ranging from environment to people's health.In the first place, it takes years for the plastic products to decompose and be absorbed by the soil.Secondly, the use of disposable plastic bags will indirectly do harm to people's health.Sometimes people buy hot food packed into disposable plastic bags for saving time to wash their dining utensils.Yet they are not informed of the chemical material the bags release in high temperature.Therefore, they are also eating the poisonous stuff while enjoying the tasty food.It's enlightening and significant that our government has banned the use of disposable plastic bags officially, and people will be charged for the use of such bags.This action is reducing the consumption of bags to a great extent.It is a great measure for the sustainable development of our earth.滿分作文實(shí)錄
Education, which gets children ready for challenges in the future, is of vital importance to them.Nowadays, more and more parents tend to send their kids to art classes to make sure that they will maintain an advantageous position in the increasingly fierce competition, which has given rise to a wide range of controversy.Some people support this idea, arguing that it will give the children a well-rounded education.In contrast, those who criticize the idea contend that it will do harm to the children rather than benefit them.From my point of view, the above-mentioned issue should be approached through a thorough analysis of the specific situation at hand.On one handclasses.Firstly, art classes can provide the kids with an effective way to relax themselves after a whole day’s tedious study.By listening to music or drawing some pictures, they can relax themselvesand return to study with renewed vigor.Secondly, children will have more opportunities to learn a different kind of culture if they take art classes.By being exposed to art, they are able to broaden their horizons.As a matter of fact, many subjects are interrelated(at)such a tight level that the study of one subject may help that of another.For example, the practice of drawing pictures may promote children’s understanding of geometry and math.Thirdly, children will have more chance to make different kinds of friends by taking art classes, which is very important to their mental health.On the other hand, parents should never force their children to take art classes if they show no interest or talent in art.Children may feel depressed or even refuse to take other classes if they are forced to learn art lessons against their own will.Only when they are indeed interested in art can we
In conclusion, whether parents should send their children to art classes should be determined by children’s interests.If they like, we may let them take the classes.But if they have no interest, parents should respect their will.(368 words)

Free Admission to Museums?
An increasing number of museums are open to the public for free in our daily life nowadays.However, no consensus is reached among the public on the influence it brings about on the museums and the visitors involved.Some people hold the opinion that free admission to museums will contribute to numerous problems ranging from the spoiling of the environment to the damage to the facilities of the museums.It is known that some visitors will throw away the garbage here and there, which will do great damage to the surroundings of the museums.What’s worse, it will take a lot of time and effort for the museums to fix the facilities destroyed by the little kids who come to the museum without company of their parents.However, there are different opinions on whether visitors should enjoy free admission or not.Some people maintain that visitors can acquire new knowledge and enrich their lives by visiting various museums.As far as I am concerned, just as every coin has two sides, it is true to the above phenomenon.Therefore, we are expected to take measures to educate the public to observe the rules and regulations when visiting the museums.Thus, more and more individuals will enjoy a favorable environment.2008年6月21日四級(jí)作文題目:

In people’s daily life, there are various recreational activities apart from studying or working, ranging from Karaoke or dancing to computer games or sports games.Such activities are beneficial as well as harmful to us.On one hand, they can help us not only build our body and mind but also improve our communication and understanding with friends because most of these activities are done with others.On the other hand, if we spend too much time on singing, dancing or other games, we might fail to concentrate on our duties such as studying or working, which in turn may lead to further consequences.As far as I’m concerned, recreational activities should be done within a certain limit so that we can keep a proper balance between recreation and studying or working life.

四級(jí)的題型包括論說(shuō)文、說(shuō)明文、記敘文。2017年6月份我們考的是考應(yīng)用文,賣(mài)的是二手車、二手電腦,12月份考的是文字當(dāng)中的A或者B的形式,到底是工作還是考研,到底是國(guó)企還是外企。2017年12月考到的是大家關(guān)心的醫(yī)鬧問(wèn)題,同學(xué)感覺(jué)到這個(gè)問(wèn)題比較傷感。醫(yī)鬧怎么說(shuō)?我們可以翻成“醫(yī)療的一些問(wèn)題、爭(zhēng)端或者沖突”等等。這是第一套題。第二套題,講的是所謂的老師和學(xué)生之間的關(guān)系如何營(yíng)造。第三套題,父母和孩子的關(guān)系。
大家發(fā)現(xiàn)這道題從審題的難度來(lái)講基本長(zhǎng)沒(méi)有什么難度,基本上是初中、小學(xué)詞匯,題干不會(huì)出現(xiàn)什么問(wèn)題。“How to”題型已經(jīng)考過(guò)三次,重點(diǎn)在如何(how),也就是說(shuō)我們重點(diǎn)是方法。從內(nèi)容上來(lái)講,但是發(fā)現(xiàn)這三道考題之間的關(guān)系是大家非常熟悉的話題,比說(shuō)醫(yī)鬧關(guān)系,醫(yī)生和患者之間的關(guān)系,老師和學(xué)生的關(guān)系,這是教育的話題,再比如家長(zhǎng)和孩子之間的關(guān)系等等,所以從題材到內(nèi)容來(lái)說(shuō)都是四級(jí)考生已經(jīng)必備的知識(shí)要素。
我們的四六級(jí)的寫(xiě)作滿分是15分,包括兩部分,第一是獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)分,第二是基本分的部分。
首先,獎(jiǎng)勵(lì)分是卷面的問(wèn)題,大家都喜歡美的事物。也就是說(shuō)要保持卷面清晰,給老師留下好的第一印象。第二是基本分。這里包括三部分。
第一是文章的結(jié)構(gòu)。
我們?cè)趯?xiě)作文的時(shí)候分三個(gè)層次,總分總的原則,第一自然段我們一定要進(jìn)行引題部分,第二是分析,第三是總結(jié)。第一段把醫(yī)患關(guān)系,家長(zhǎng)和孩子關(guān)系,學(xué)生和老師的關(guān)系等等,這些核心的主題詞引導(dǎo)出來(lái)。
第二是分析。根據(jù)不同文章的要求,不同文章的題材進(jìn)行分析的過(guò)程。重點(diǎn)在方法、建議的措施上。所以這個(gè)文章中間分析的環(huán)節(jié),重點(diǎn)講的是建議、措施和方法。
第三是總結(jié)。注意要加上所謂邏輯關(guān)系詞。比如三個(gè)方法,或者是三個(gè)建議的措施,三個(gè)原因,三個(gè)危害等等。
這是英語(yǔ)考試,大家一定要想清楚我們每句話首先保證的是準(zhǔn)確,其次保證的是漂亮。如何保證準(zhǔn)確漂亮?第一個(gè)是詞的運(yùn)用,我們?cè)趧偛诺奈恼庐?dāng)中,是否出現(xiàn)了“重要important”這個(gè)單詞,你可以換一些高級(jí)的詞匯essential,當(dāng)你把這些常見(jiàn)的單詞進(jìn)行高級(jí)化的替換以后,你的分值就會(huì)提高。再說(shuō)一下句型的文化。好的文章,不僅是句子準(zhǔn)確,還要考慮句子的高級(jí)化。比如說(shuō)你是否運(yùn)用了非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞等高級(jí)語(yǔ)法。
