industrious“勤劳的,勤奋的”,固定短语be industriousin“勤于做„„”。
e.g.an industrialworker 产业工人
The Chinese people are industrious and brave.中国人民是勤劳勇敢的。
Industrial Revolution 产业革命,工业革命
典型考题:The young couple is_______ in their own factory.
A.industrial B.industrious C.indulge D.individual
答案B。句意:这对年轻的夫妇勤于经营他们自己的工厂。indulge表“沉溺,放纵”,是动词;individual“个别的,单独的”。
4.insensible /insensitive
形容词insensible与insensitive,前者表“失去知觉的,昏迷的”,“一无所知的(作表语)”,它还可指“(变化)极其细微的、极其缓慢的”;后者表“感觉迟钝的,不敏感的,不灵敏的”,常用于固定短语be
insensitive to“对„„不敏感,对„„感觉迟钝”。
e.g.fall insensible 昏过去
insensible motion 极缓慢的运动
be insensible of one's danger 不知道自己所面临的危险
be insensitive to the public opinion 对舆论反应不灵敏
He was knocked insensible by a sudden blow彼遭人猛然一击而不省人事。
典型考题:Generally speaking,the blind are _______ to light.
A.insensible B.insensitive C.insecure D.insignificant
答案B。句意:一般说来,盲人对光没有感觉。insecure“不安全的,无保障的”;insignificant“无意义的,无关紧要的”。
5.jealous /envious
形容词jealous,envious二者近义,都表“妒忌的,羡慕的”。envious主要作“羡慕”解,指希望得到别人的东西;用于贬意时,指因未获得某物而不满。而jealous语义要比envious强,指对别人占有的或自己企图占有的东西感到不满或怀有恼恨的心理,认为应属于自己或自己应得。二者常用于固定短语be
envious of/be jealous of当中。jealous还表“留意提防的,猜疑的,戒备的”。
e.g.be envious of another person's good fortune 羡慕他人的好运气
be jealous of their great success 嫉妒他们的成功
be jealous of one's rights 小心翼翼地保护自己的权利
典型考题:We should keep a _______ eye on the prisoners every moment.

答案A。句意:我们要每时每刻注意看守犯人。jealousy,envy 分别是 jealous 与 envious 相应的名词。
6.join /connect /combine
这三个词都表示“连接”。join强调原来是分离着的东西,现在连接或联合在一起,除“连接”外,也有“加入”的意思;connect指两物在某些方
面有关联,但各自保持自己的特点和独立性,可用于具体事物或抽象概念;combine着重“结合为一”,多用于抽象或无形的东西。
e.g.join the army 参军
join in a conversation 参加谈话
The two cities are connected by a newly-built railway.一条新建的铁路把两个城市衔接起来。

第五篇:最新大学英语四级真题作文
2012年6月四级作文
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】
本次作文的话题是“过度包装”,话题不断新,考生应该都比较熟悉。写好本篇作文的关键在于紧跟题目所列提纲:现象——原因——看法和建议,确定相应的写作结构。重点分析产生此现象的原因有哪些,把最重要的两三点罗列下来。最后,根据分析出的原因提供相应的建议。
范文首段开门见山,首先一句话总结如今社会上过度包装现象盛行,而后举出一些实例补充说明。
第二段重点从公司和消费者两方面论述产生过度包装的原因。公司方面是为了吸引顾客,刺激消费,赢取更多的利润;消费者方面是认为包装越精美,质量越好这种错误的消费意识。
接下来作者表明自己的看法,认为过度包装会导致很多问题:稀缺资源的流失;水,能源的过度消耗以及产生不必要的垃圾场等。
2011年12月四级作文
Directions: You're allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled Nothing Succeeds Without a Strong Will by commenting on the humorous saying, “Quitting smoking is the easiest thing in the world.I’ve done it hundreds of time.”You'd write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.Outlines:
1.坚强的意志是成功的重要保证。
2.意志坚定的人才能完成伟大的使命,3.学生也是这样,不刻苦学习,终究不会成为有用之才
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月大学英语四级考试

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.文章点评:
这是一篇“中等偏上”的学生作文。本文先对网购热潮进行简介,引出全篇;接着对网络购物的正反两方面进行对比;最后提出自己的看法结束全篇。整体看思路清晰,逻辑严密,行文流畅,用语较为地道。
下面说一下这篇文章的有待提高之处:
1.文章结构上,能看得出该同学试图采用议论文的“三段式”(提出问题、分析问题、解决问题)。但是,以“With the development of the Internet”为开首语,有些落入俗套,有硬套模板的嫌疑。稍加注意,应该能写出更好的句子。
2.微观语言点方面,有些语句稍显啰嗦,比如With plentiful selection options„ 简化成With plentiful selections„ 更好,意思没有丝毫减损,表达力反而增强许多。

With the help of the ever rapid development of internet technology, online shopping is coming into fashion in most of cities.Online shopping is welcomed by most people due to various reasons.From the perspective of consumer, it can save some time for people who don't have much spare time.Just click the mouse, they can get whatever they want while staying at home.For the retailers, it can cut some costs for those who don't have much circulating funds.They don't have to rent a house and spend money on employees compared with the traditional trade mode.However, there are still some defects in online shopping.First, lace of face to face deal makes online shopping less reliable and trustworthy.Second, people will lose the fun of bargain.It is undeniable that shopping on the internet has become an irresistible trend in modern society.It's of great urgency that we need to regulate the relative laws accordance with the rapid growth of online shopping.Only in this way can we enjoy the pleasure and convenience of online shopping without the concern of being treated.点评:
本次四级作文探讨的是最近的热点话题之一——互联网网购。目前网购的风靡程度是众所周知,因此,考生对于该话题还是比较熟悉的。但是,比较特殊的是,题干所列出的要求的是考生从一个客观的角度来阐述该话题,而不是简单陈述自己的意见。所以,考生应当审清楚题,在写作时不仅仅要列出网购的优点,还必须给出相应的缺点。
按照四级作文的要求,考生在第一段时应该总述现象并引出话题;
第二段考生应当从正反两方面来论述网购,分别铺陈其优缺点;关于优点,网购的优点很多,考生可择其最突出显著的方面来阐述,比如说网购可以节省很多时间;网购可以节省很多成本开支等;其次,缺点方面考生可以把重心放在诚信方面;为了不至于跟优点相比,缺点方面太轻,考生可以考虑稍微提一下其他缺点,比如说与传统购物相比,网购少去了很多砍价的乐趣;
第三点要求考生对于第二段列出的缺点给出自己的建议。此处我们可以根据第二段列出的缺点方面给出相应的防范应对措施。
整篇作文话题比较好展开,难度不大,只要考生审好题,列出相应点,相信作文不会他是难题。

Nowadays, an increasing number of families in China have only one child.Most parents love and care for children so much as to help children deal with every problem.Consequently, children get used to depending on their parents in everything and lack the ability to solve problems independently.There are some effective ways for parents to help their children to be independent.To start with, parents should give their children more chances to experience the world and life around them.Thus their children can enhance the capability to overcome the difficulties and handle problems independently.In addition, parents should offer enough assistance when their children need advice.In this way, they depend on their parents in a right way and can solve problems independently when they face the same one next time.Last but not least, parents should allow
their children to make decisions independently.From the above discussion, I strongly believe that parents should help their children to be independent by instructing them in a proper way rather than planning and considering everything for them.2010年6月大学英语四级考试

3.为了改变这种状况,我认为….Nowadays, students attach little importance to the spelling of words in the process of English study.This phenomenon greatly influences students’ writing and brings on worries among teachers.There are possibly three reasons contributing to this phenomenon.First, exam-oriented education makes students pay little attention to spelling.Second, some teachers should also be responsible for it because they don’t emphasize the importance of spelling during teaching.Last but not least, some students are too lazy to recite words.Since spelling is one of the most important factors in English study, due attention should be given to it.As I see it, first, exams should be modified to add spelling into it.Then, schools should establish effective mechanisms to help teachers as well as students to realize the importance.Finally, students should be interested in word spelling.Only in this way, can we surely realize the importance of spelling and make improvement.2009年12月大学英语四级作文

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.满分作文实录
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日四级作文题目:

Recreational Activities
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.
