2010年12月英语四级作文题目预测

第一篇：2010年12月英语四级作文题目预测

鉴于近年来所考题目以议论文为主，所以给出如下3道议论文模拟题并做一浅析，以供参考。

(1)The Shortage of Fresh Water

1、目前淡水资源非常紧缺

2、为什么会出现这种情况

3、该如何解决

96年6月份曾考过此题，今天来看，似乎更有现实意义。这是一道负面社会现象题，那么挖掘其背后根源，并找出解决方案，就成为探讨的主要方面，而提纲也正是如此。三个提纲各属其类，界限清晰，直接按提纲写三段即可。段1为提出现象，确立研究对象。提纲1翻译后仅一句话，作为一段话则显内容单薄，字数匮乏，所以需进一步发挥。不妨从例证角度扩充，举例时即可基于国内现状，也可纵观全球，显然前者更易行。可从我国西南地区的生活缺水，水价上升，以及河流干涸等细节方面铺陈。段2是原因分析，建议分析主观原因和客观原因两方面。所谓主观原因即是基于人的思想意念，心理意识，行为动机以及行为举措，比如人们节约意识的淡漠或者人们误认为淡水取之不尽等不当想法。而客观原因则是从非人角度出发，如社会发展，人口激增，甚至污染的加剧等方面出发，这些因素均使得淡水消耗的增加。当然，考场上由于时间紧迫，无法细想，可能会写出的两个全是主观类或客观类的原因，其实也无妨，只要二者不同即可，谨防虽言明两原因，但实则彼此混淆，出现逻辑不清的窘况。段3是措施分析，措施可从官方措施和民众措施两方面写起，也可加入作为现代年轻人，我该如何约束自己，从生活中小事做起节约水资源等内容。总之，在内容上考生尽可发挥想象力，纵马驰骋，原则依旧：切题者皆可。

(2)Part-time Jobs for College Students

1、目前大学校园里很多学生业余时间做兼职

2、对于大学生是否该做兼职工作，人们看法不一

3、我的看法

这是一道校园话题，在内容上即涉及现象，又涉及观点，能很好地考察到学生的综合分析能力。提纲1依旧是现象提出，看到提纲1，大家脑海里会浮现很多熟悉的场景，如校园布告栏里张贴着的兼职广告，校园论坛上也经常发布的一些兼职信息等等，这些都可反映在段1中。所以当我们第一眼看到话题或提纲时，脑海中常常会浮现出相关场景，把这些画面定格，进行详细描绘即可，即自然又切题。当然，段1也可从学生的兼职渠道以及兼职类型等方面加以发挥。总之，提纲是总领，而符合总领的任何附属内容都可写。段2是人们对此学生兼职的不同看法，一正一反。切记在表达上述两类观点时，提出其相关论据。段3是提出作者本人看法。本人看法既可选择上述任一方(只要不极端)，也可提出与上述均异的第三类观点，对于极度偏激的正反方观点则需做一番调和与勾兑(这个一般很少见)。需要提醒的是，继提出己方观点后，还应补充其他内容，如论据;也可写我的下一步做法，甚至可写我所认为的大家对此问题所应采取的对策云云。

(3)Private Cars of Today1、目前私家车越来多了

2、私家车为人们带来的益处和问题

这道题只有两个提纲，所以建议在完成提纲要求内容之后再补充一段相关内容，可以在提纲2之后续补段3(如举措类：如何合理地限制私家车的出行以减少废气排放等等)，也可在1，2之间插入一段(如原因分析，即为何私家车越来越多)。先来看提纲1，依然是事实陈述，看到提纲1，会很容易联想到马路上川流不息的过往车辆，以及高峰期令人沮丧的堵车，那么即可将这些内容付诸笔端。再看提纲2，是私家车给人们生活带来的影响，该事实是一中性事实，则需辩证地分析其影响的两面性，一方面它带来好处，如让人们的出行变得更自由更方便，另一方面它带来坏处，如排放废气，污染环境，或造成交通堵塞等等。

总之，四级作文并非高不可攀，只要大家依据提纲多多联想，抓住最初的感动，在常理的指导下，将所欲传达的内容用确切的文字装载出即可过关得胜。

2017年6月大学英语四级作文题目预测：说谎

Directions:

Write a composition entitled Telling Lies.You should write at least 120 words according to the outline given below in Chiness.1.人们对说谎通常的看法;

2.是否说谎都是有害的?说明你的看法;

3.总结全文。

Telling Lies benefit from dishonest means or try to conceal their faults.However，I think despite its negative effects,sometimes it is essential to tell lies in our daily life.First,the liar may benefit from the lie by escaping from the pressure of unnecessary embarrassment.Meanwhile,the listener may also feel more comfortable by reasonable excuses.For example,if a little girl's father died in an accident,her mother would comfort her by saying “farther has gone to another beautiful land”.In such cases,a lie with original goodwill can make the cruel nice.Second,the skills of telling lies,to some extent,can be regard as a capacity of creation and imagination.Therefore,taking all these factors into consideration,we can definitely come to the conclusion that whether telling a lie is harmful depends on its original intention and the ultimate result it brings.(159 worlds)

说谎通常被视为是一种罪恶，因为一些人试图通过不诚实的手段或对自身缺点的掩盖，从而获利。

然而，我认为尽管有其消极影响，但有时在我们的日常生活中，说谎是不可避免的。首先，说谎者能借谎言免去一些不必要的尴尬所带来的压力。同时，听众也会因合理的借口而感到更加自在。例如，如果一个小女孩的父亲在一次意外中丧身，她的母亲就会安慰她说“爸爸去了另一个美丽的世界。”在这样的例子中，善意的谎言能化残酷为美好。其次，说谎的技巧从某种程度而言可被视为一种创造力和想象力。

因此，综上所述，我们能够得出结论:谎言是否有害，取决于它的意图以及最终带来的后果。

2017年6月英语四级作文题目预测：节食减肥

Directions:

Write a composition entitled Is Dieting Good or Bad.You should write at least 120 words according to the outline given below in Chiness.1.很多人特别是女孩子喜欢节食减肥;

2.提出你的观点;

3.作出总结。

Is Dieting Good or Bad In order to keep a slim body and to be more attractive in appearance, many people,especially girls,would like to lose weight by eating less.Some people worry that dieting is bad for our health, while others don't agree.In my opinion,dieting is not good for most people.First,dieting is harmful to people's health.It has been proved that if one begins to eat less to keep slim,he or she will be much weaker than those who don't.Young people's bowels must work in an orderly way every day.If a 20-year-old girl eats less than what her body needs,her metabolism will slow down because there is not so much food to be digested each day.As a result，this young girl will become both physically and mentally slow as a 40-year-old one.How terrible it is!Second,dieting may affect our lives.In this modem society,people need to be very energetic to face severe competitions in their study or work.Dieting will surely reduce their energy and in turn affect their lives badly.In conclusion,I believe that dieting is not advisable for most people,except for those who are told to do so by doctors.(203 words)

为了保持苗条的身材，在外观上更具吸引力，许多人，尤其是女孩子，都想通过少吃来减肥。有人担心，节食有害健康，而其他人则不同意这一观点。在我看来，节食对大多数人来说，都是不利的。

首先，节食是对人们的健康有害。这一点已经得到证明，如果一个人开始少吃来保持身材苗条，他或她将比那些不这样做的人更虚弱。年轻人肠胃必须每天都在有条不紊地工作。如果一个20 岁的女孩吃得比其身体需要的要少，她的新陈代谢会减慢，因为每天没有那么多的食物要消化。结果，这个年轻的女孩在身心方面将变得像一个40 岁的人那么缓慢。这是多么可怕的事情!第二，节食可能会影响我们的生活。在这个现代社会中，人们需要非常有活力来面对学习或工作中繁重的竞争。节食肯定会减少他们的能量，反过来又严重影响他们的生活。

总之，除了那些被医生告知节食的人之外，我认为节食对大多数人来说是不可取的。

2017年6月英语四级作文题目预测：公立学校与私立学校

Direction: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on the topic Private School?You should write at least 150 words following the outline given below in Chinese:

1.当前，社会上有很多私立学校和培训学校;

2.私立学校的利与弊

3.你的看法

范文：

The difference between public schools and private schools It can be noticed that a large number of private schools or training organizations become a new landscape in education.When you read newspapers, when you watch TV, when you walk on the road,you will inevitably see lots of advertisements about private schools.There are private schools mainly dealing with foreign languages,computers,music and sports.However,is it a good or bad thing to have so many private schools? As a coin has two sides,so are the private schools.On the one hand,private schools can meet the special needs of the society or the particular requirements of people.On the other hand, they often bring people extra burden because of comparison and competition.When asked to decide whether we should have a society without private schools or a society with private schools,I will not hesitate a moment to prefer the latter.Although attending a training course will result in the extra cost or burden,it is of tremendous merits in preparing my work and cultivating my skills.2017年英语四级作文题目预测之大学校园里的逃课现象

Directions:

Write a composition entitled Skipping Classes on College Campus.You should write at least 120 words according to the outline given below in Chiness.1.现在大学校园里逃课现象时有发生;

2.分析学生逃课的原因;

3.如何遏制逃课现象。

Skipping Classes on College Campus

In colleges and universities, the phenomenon of students skipping class is not unusual.There are ofteo some studeots who skip those classes for feeling uncomfortable or other private reasons.Besides, still some students are absent in classes without any reason but for they don't want to.在大学校园里，学生逃课的现象并不少见。常常有一些学生因不舒服或其他私人原因而逃课。此外，还有一些学生只因不想上课而无故旷课。

There are two main reasons for college students skip classes.First, compared with in middle school, students have more freedom in college.It depends more on one student's consciousness whether he will attend the class.So those students lacking self-discipline begin to skip classes.Secood, some teachers' classes could not attract students' interests so that some students would rather skip classes to study what they are interested in.大学生逃课主要有两个原因。第一，与中学相比，大学生有更多的自由空间。是否去上课更多地要看学生的自觉性。因此，那些缺乏自律的学生就开始逃课。其次，一些教师上的课无法引起学生的兴趣，致使一些学生宁愿逃课来学习他们感兴趣的东西。

For whatever reasons, skipping classes does bring negative effects on students' study.Therefore, it is necessary to take some effective measures to reduce this phenomenon.On the one hand, the school and teachers should make students realize the negative effects of skipping classes and increase their consciousness of attending the class.On the other hand, teachers have to improve their teaching quality to attract students' interests.Only in this way can the phenomenon of skipping classes be reduced as soon as possible.(182 words)

不论出于何种原因，逃课的确会给学生的学习带来负面影响。因此，有必要采取一些有效的措施来减少这一现象。一方面，学校和教师应使学生意识到逃课的负面影响，增加上课的自觉性。另一方面，教师必须提高教学质量来吸引学生的兴趣。只有这样，才能尽快地减少逃课现象。

2017年12月英语四级作文题目预测：独生子女与二胎

话题：

近年来英语作文考试开始偏向于时事相关的题目。而当下最热门的话题就是二胎。随着国家的二胎政策公布，也许在不久，独生子女就成了少数群体，也有父母认为再生二胎，生活压力会比一胎大很多，你是怎么看的呢?

范文：

独生子女与二胎

My father used to talk to me about his five siblings.He used to say that I was unfortunate that I had none.And I used to envy him and wonder how nice it would be to have a houseful of brothers and sisters.I also used to wonder what would happen to me if I were to lose my parents.Frankly speaking, I do not have to share anything with anybody.I own all my parents' love.I can ask for anything I want.I always wear new clothes and eat the best food.Since my parents spend all their money on me, I can study at the best university of the country.Lucky as I am, I now and then feel very lonely and I have nobody to complain about my loneliness.How I long for a quarrel with my brothers and sisters!Of course I have classmates and friends, but they are different.Sometimes I feel so pessimistic that after my parents leave the world, I will have no blood relatives left to share with me the fond memories of my parents.Furthermore, I am likely to become selfish while I realize the world is for sharing.So, I am happy but lonely;I am fortunate but piteous;I am loved but spoiled;I am well-bred but selfish, because I am the only child of the family.2017年12月英语四级作文题目预测及范文：校园里的过度开销

题目要求：

You should write a short essay on the topic Excess Spending on Campus.1.指出大学生花费过多这一校园现象，2.从家庭教育、生活水平、兴趣爱好、校园爱情等方面阐述该现象产生的原因;

3.提出支持节约、反对浪费的观点。

参考范文：

Excess Spending on Campus A recent survey indicates that the monthly expenditure of a college student has been on the sharp rise.Many college students have no concept of thrift in their mind at all.The following factors contribute to this excess spendin9.First of all.as the only child oftheft families，many students are the apples in their families’eyes and naturally get move care and pocket money.Some are even spoiled and take spending money from their parents for granted.In addition，with the improvement ofliving standards，parents can also afford higher

expenditure of their children.Moreover,some students like to pursue fashion and trends，which can be quite costly.Finally,campus love is another possible factor causing too much spending.From my point ofview，college students 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 fight values and is favorable to our future development.2017年12月英语四级作文题目预测：手机直播

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on mobile live video broadcasting.You are required to write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.参考范文：

手机直播

In recent years, mobile live video broadcasting has been very popular among young people.People can broadcast their daily life anytime at any place as they like as long as they have a smartphone.In my opinion, there are disadvantages as well as advantages of mobile live video broadcasting.On the one hand, mobile live video broadcasting enables people to show their talent online, which gives them a chance to earn money online.And it is also a good way to share their life experience with their friends and family.On the other hand, if people don’t use their time properly, they may become addicted to it.Particularly, if students spend too much time playing it, they may neglect their studies, which is not good for them.In conclusion, mobile live video broadcasting is a fashionable way to enrich people’s life.However, we should make best use of our time and keep ourselves from being addicted to it.2017年12月英语四级考试作文题目预测：小孩是否需要手机？

Giving Children Cell Phones More and more children are showing up at school each September with cell phones.Many parents buy their children a cell phone because it is a nice safety measure.It gives those working parents a little sense of control and security to know when their children are off campus and on their way home.But having a cell phone might be a problem.Parents may find themselves facing a frightening bill at the end of the month.The reason: chatting on the phone and sending text messages can soon become the favorite pastime of preteens and teenagers.Worse still, cell phones in schools can lead to classroom distractions, text-message cheating and inappropriate photographs.Knowing their children can always be reached is reassuring for parents.But before buying their child a cell phone, I think parents should decide if the child is really capable of managing his or her own phone.Besides, parental control must be exercised in the use of the phone.For example, they should set limits on how long the child is allowed to stay on the phone.词汇学习：

Sample:

Goal Setting Is Important Living without an aim is like sailing without a compass.” This philosophical wisdom by John Ruskin, one of the greatest British writers, tells us that goal setting is extremely important in life.Why is goal setting so important? The main importance of goal setting is that it provides us with direction and purpose.When we have goals, we know what we want to achieve so that we can focus our mindson a single worthwhile target and avoid getting distracted easily.Personal goal setting also provides us with motivation to achieve what we want to achieve.Goal setting is of especial significance for today’s students.A study reveals that when students set goals, they learn the importance of taking responsibility, of minimizing excuses and of helping others.Goal setting is a lifelong skill that first helps students succeed in school and then later in life.2017年12月英语四级作文预测：感谢老师的信

九 To Be a small Fish in a Big Pond or a Big Fish in a Small Pond?

1.在大企业工作的特点

2.在小企业工作的特点

3.我的选择

Just as there are distinct differences between being a small fish is a big pond and a big fish in a small pond, so it is with working as a subordinate in a large enterprise and presiding in a small firm.With the former, you can derive a deep sense of satisfaction from being a member of a well-known organization such as General Motors, or the Bell Telephone System.You have the opportunities of learning from experienced executives and knowing about the standard working process.With the latter, you have greater responsibilities and your decision may bring immediate effect.Normally you are expose to various experiences and expected to do a great many thing without much help or guidance.Personally I prefer to work in a small enterprise, where my prospect of promotion is good as long as I work hard.To tell the truth , I'd rather become a well-known and important figure within my own small pond.十 Styles of Living

1.有些人愿意和父母居住在一起

2.有些人想自己独立居住

3.我的看法

Some people enjoy living together with their parents after they have grown up.They hold the opinion because , living with parents , they can take better care of their parents and vice versa.Meanwhile , they can turn to their parents for help if they get into trouble or have some difficulties.To them, life in a big family seems to be more enjoyable than that in a small family.Others, however , prefer to live separately.They cherish the idea to be independent of their parents, seek more freedom and wish to have a place of their own, in which they can do what they like.Bedsides , they don't want to be overprotected by their parents but long for chance to face the society by themselves.As to me , I like an independent life style in spite of the fact I love my parents.Different generations have different life styles and values.What one generations likes may not be another generation's fondness.Living separately , each generation can enjoy different value.In addition , by leading an independent life , I can train my character and develop my own ability to deal with things encountered in my life.1.It is indisputable that(无可争辩)there are millions of people who still have a miserable life and have to face the dangers of starvation and exposure.2 No one can deny the fact(没有人能否认)that a person's education is the most important aspect of his life.3.In fact, we have to admit the fact(我们必须承认)that the quality of life is as important as life itself.4.This view is now by more and more people.(正受到越来越多人的质疑)5.The problem of international tourism has caused wide public concern over the recent years.(近些年引起了广泛关注)

6.Despite many obvious advantages of bicycle, it is not without its problem.(但是它也存在它的问题)

7.There is a general debate on the campus today(校园里进行着广泛的争论)over the phenomenon of college or high school students' doing a part-time job.8.According to a recent survey, a growing number of people express a strong desire(根据调查，越来越多的人表达了一种强烈愿望)to take another job or spend more time on their job in order to get more money to support their family.9.There is a growing tendency(呈增长的势头)for parents to ask their extra educational programs over the recent years.10.Although rural emigrants contribute greatly to the economic growth of the cities, they may inevitably bring about many negative impacts.(然而他们也不可避免的带来了一些负面影响)

81.Parents are firmly convinced that, to send their child to kindergartens or nursery schools will have an unfavorable influence on the growth of children.父母们坚定地相信把孩子送到幼儿园对他们的成长不利。

82.However, this idea is now being questioned by more and more experts, who point out that it is unhealthy for children who always stay with their parents at home.然而，这一想法正遭受越来越多的专家的质疑，他们指出，孩子总是呆在家里，和父母在一起，是不健康的。

83.Although parent would be able to devote much more time and energy to their children, it must be admitted that, parent has less experience and knowledge about how to educate and supervise children, when compared with professional teachers working in kindergartens or nursery schools.尽管父母能在他们孩子身上投入更多时间和精力，但是必须承认，与工作在幼儿园的专职教师相比，他们在如何管理教育孩子方面缺乏知识和经验。

84.From what has been discussed above, we may safely draw a conclusion that, although the parents' desire to look after children by themselves is understandable, its disadvantages far outweigh the advantages.通过以上讨论，我们可以得出如下结论：尽管家长想亲自照看孩子的愿望是可以理解的，但是这样做的缺点远大于优点。

85.Parents should be encouraged to send their children to nursery schools, which will bring about profound impacts on children and families, and even the society as a whole.应该鼓励父母将他们的孩子送到幼儿园，这将对孩子，家庭，甚至整个社会产生深远的影响。

86.Many leaders of government always go into raptures at the mere mention of artistic and cultural projects.They are forever talking about the nice parks, the smart sculptures in central city and the art galleries with various valuable rarities.Nothing, they maintain, is more essential than such projects in the economic growth.只要一提起艺术和文化项目，一些政府领导就会兴奋不已，他们滔滔不绝地说着美丽的公园，城市中心漂亮的雕塑，还有满是稀世珍宝的艺术展览馆。他们认为在经济发展中，没有什么比这些艺术项目更重要了。

87.But is it really the case? The information I've collected over last few years leads me to believe that artistic and cultural projects may be less useful than many governments think.In fact, basic infrastructure projects are playing extremely important role and should be given priority.这是真的吗？这些年我收集的信息让我相信这些文化、艺术项目并没有许多政府想象的那么重要。事实上，基础设施建设非常重要，应该放在首位。

88.Those who are in favor of artistic and cultural projects advocate that cultural environment will attract more tourists, which will bring huge profits to local residents.Some people even equate the build of such projects with the improving of economic construction.那些赞成建设文化艺术项目的人认为文化环境会吸引更多的游客，这将给当地居民带来巨大的利益。一些人甚至把建设文化艺术项目与发展经济建设等同起来。

89.Unfortunately, there is very few evidence that big companies are willing to invest a huge sums of money in a place without sufficient basic projects, such as supplies of electricity and water.然而，很少有证据表明大公司愿意把巨额的资金投到一个连水电这些基础设施都不完善的地方去。

90.From what has been discussed above, it would be reasonable to believe that basic projects play far more important role than artistic and cultural projects in people's life and economic growth.通过以上讨论，我们有理由相信在人们的生活和经济发展方面，基础建设比艺术文化项目发挥更大的作用。

2010年12月英语四级经典范文：学习一生的事业

就像植物需要阳光，我们对知识充满了渴求。学习伴随我们成长，让我们感到充实，让我们更加了解生活，让我们能够用所学去帮助别人。你的学习旅程是怎样的?

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] 作文点评

本文首先从正面论证主题，首句点题，并通过对首句的解释进一步说明终生学习的意义。之后作者结合时代变化的特征，用the surest way以及reliable warrant说明了持续学习的现实意义。第二段作者从反面来论证自己的观点，说明停止学习会导致的严重后果。最后用therefore引出全文的结束语，再次重申观点，并与文章题目相呼应。

本文开篇引用As...is to..., so is...to...的经典句型开门见山，将学习对心智的重要性比作食物对身体的重要性，生动形象。行文流畅，并能结合时代特征;首尾呼应，画龙点睛。好文妙译 学习：一生的事业

学习之于心智，就像食物之于身体一样。摄取了适量的营养食物，我们的身体得以生长而肌肉得以发达。同样地，我们应该日复一日不断地学习以保持我们心智的敏锐，并增长我们的智力。不断的学习像是为我们的前进提供了用之不尽的能量，驱使我们磨砺自身推理、分析和判断的能力。持续的学习是在信息时代中与时俱进的最稳妥的方法，也是在无常变化的时代中求得成功的可靠保证。

一旦学习停止，单调贫乏的生活就开始了。视学校为汲取知识的惟一场所是种常见的谬误。相反，从生到死，学习应该是一种无终止的历程。由于世界变化日新月异，学习过程停顿几天，就会使人落后。而更为糟糕的是，蛰伏在我们潜意识深处的动物本能就会复活，削弱我们追求高尚理想的意志，弱化我们扫除成功障碍的决心，并且扼杀我们净化自身人格的追求。缺少学习将不可避免地导致心智的停滞，甚至更糟，使其僵化。因此，为了保持青春永驻，我们必须将学习当作一生的事业。
