6、就业
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、大学生难找工作,2、原因很多,3、解决的办法。
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、考试
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、大学都用考试来衡量学生的成绩
2、考生可能带来的副作用
3、我对考试的看法 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、读后感:
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、我最喜爱的小说是···
2、该小说的内容
3、我为什么喜爱
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、难忘的人:
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、我生活中最难忘的人是······
2、为什么他(或她)令我难以忘怀
3、结论
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、论说文框架:
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.英语四级写作经典范文及点评:学习一生的事业
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。

英语四级写作经典范文及点评:在起跑线上
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]
行文点评
本文虽然短小,但人生道理却深寓其中。首段首句的引文直指主题,随后在下一段中进行了阐释,提出自己的观点:未来操之在我,我们则在起跑点,我们能掌控自己的未来。第三段将我们的生活比作农夫的劳动,对论点进行论述。接下来一段中,作者提出自己对未来的希望,最后一段进行总结,警示人们未来要靠自己掌握,重申主题。
文中多处使用比喻、对比,例如将我们比作雕塑家、农夫,将昨天与明天相比,使得论证更加生动形象。
好文妙译
在起跑线上
“我们正在阅读一本不知道多少页数的书的第一章的第一节„”
我不知道这段文字是谁写的,但我一直很喜欢用它来提醒自己:未来操之在我。我们可以掌握神秘而不可知的未来,从中创出我们所能想象的任何东西,一如雕刻家可以将一块没有形状的石头刻成雕像一样。
我们每个人都像是一个农夫。如果我们种下好种子,就会有丰收。如果种子不好而且田里杂草丛生,虽会有点儿收成但却派不上多大用场。而如果我们什么都不种,就根本不会有任何收获。
不管怎样,我希望未来会比过去更好。我不希望在未来再犯下那些充斥在历史中的错误。关心未来吧,因为我们的余生都要在未来中度过。往昔已经一去不复返了,而且是静止的,任凭我们怎么努力都不能改变它了。而未来就在我们眼前,而且是动态的,我们的任何行为都会影响到它。
如果我们能够认识得到,我们会发现每天都会有一些新的情况发生,在家里,还有我们的事业里。人类在每个领域都努力向前,而我们就处在起跑线上。
词汇斟酌
infinite a.无穷的,无限的 mysterious a.神秘的,难以理解的 hazy a.朦胧的,烟雾弥漫的,模糊的 sculptor n.雕刻家
contaminate vt.弄脏,污染
static a.静止的,停止的 dynamic a.有活力的,动态的 endeavor vt.& n.尽力,努力,尝试
佳句临摹
①【注释】be concerned about关心„„
【临摹】People are more and more concerned about the traffic of big city.人们越来越关注大城市的交通。
②【注释】we can do是插入语,有助于变化句式
【临摹】What explanation do you suppose the teacher could give? 你想老师会如何解释?(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.理想是指路明灯。没有理想,就没有坚定的方向。没有了方向,生活也就失去了意义。
Life is long if you know how to use it.如能善于利用,生命乃长。
英语四级写作经典范文及点评:青春寄语
青春是一种心境,一种气质。如果你正值青春年少,那就随着青春的脉搏一起跳动吧;即使你已经岁月沧桑,心态依然可以保持年轻。让我们青春到老。
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]
行文点评
文章一开始使用了一组排比,用四个it is „句型给youth下了定义。第二段将60岁和20岁的人进行对比,从而得出结论:年轻不是单纯指年龄,而是指心态。读到这里,读者可能会提出质疑:那要如何保持心态的年轻呢?作者紧紧抓住读者的心理,在第四段中用a wireless station为例,形象地描述了保持年轻的方法。最后一段将对比the aerials are down和aerials are up进行对比,提出号召:只要乐观向上,我们就能够永远年轻。进一步深化了主题。
这篇散文语言优美,内容凝练。各段落之间有很强的内在联系,形散而神聚,全文紧紧围绕青春这一主题,运用排比、拟人、比喻等多种修辞方法是文章的一大亮点,为文章增色不少。
好文妙译
青春寄语
青春不是人生的一个时期,而是一种心境。青春不是指粉红色的面颊、红润的嘴唇和灵活的膝盖,而是指坚强的意志、丰富的想象和激越的情感。青春是生命深处的一泓清泉。
青春是一种气质:勇猛果敢而不是怯懦退缩,渴望冒险而不是贪图安逸。一个60岁的老人身上常常散发着这种气息,而20岁的青年身上倒未必可寻。没有人会单纯因为年岁增长而衰老,而一旦丧失理想,就会真正变老。
年岁也许会在皮肤上生出皱纹,而热情不在则会使心灵起皱。忧虑、恐惧、自卑都会使人心灰意懒,一蹶不振。
无论60岁还是16岁,每一个人心里都怀有对新奇事物的向往,都会像儿童一样对未来充满永不衰减的憧憬,都能在生活的游戏中汲取快乐。在你我的心灵中央都有一座无线电台:只要它正在接受其他人和上帝发出的美丽、希望、快乐、勇气和力量的信息,你就会永远年轻。
当你的天线收拢,当你的心灵覆盖着愤世嫉俗的霜雪和悲观厌世的坚冰,即使你年方二十,你也已进入了垂暮之年。然而,只要你的天线张开,接收着乐观向上的电波,那么你可以指望,在80岁死去时你依然年轻。
词汇斟酌
imagination n.想象力,幻觉
dispositional a.有某种性情的 cowardice n.怯懦 胆小
appetite n.胃口,食欲
enthusiasm n.热情,积极性
wrinkle n.皱纹;v.起皱
aerial n.天线
cynicism n.愤世嫉俗,玩世不恭
pessimism n.悲观,悲观主义
optimism n.乐观,乐观主义
佳句临摹
①【注释】look forward to 期望做„,盼望„
【临摹】I am looking forward to seeing you again on the Christmas Eve.我期待着在平安夜再次见到你。
②【注释】so long as只要,如果
【临摹】So long as you make Mary happy I’m content.只要你能让玛丽高兴,我就满足了。
思如泉涌
Youth means limitless possibilities.年轻意味着无限的可能。If you do not learn to think when you are young, you may never learn.如果你年轻时不学着思考,你将永远不会。

第二篇:大学英语四级写作十大必背
大学英语四级写作十大必背范文
1、~网络游戏
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)现在有些大学生沉迷于网络游戏,家长和学校对此忧心忡忡,2)但有人认为网络游戏并非一无是处,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、考证热
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)近几年大学校园内出现“考证热”,2)产生这一现象的原因,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、节俭
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)很多大学生每月的花销越来越高,根本没有节俭的概念,2)分析产生这一现象的原因,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、社会实践
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)各大学在假期都会组织学生参加各种社会实践活动,2)这些活动给大学生带来了哪些好处,3)参加社会实践活动应该注意些什么。
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)加强挫折教育十分重要,2)举例说明你的观点,3)为了加强挫折教育,我们应该······
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、报考公务员
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)近几年兴起了一股报考公务员的热潮,2)分析产生这一现象的原因,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、电视选秀
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)现在各种各样的电视选秀节目吸引了许多年轻人,2)为了实现明星梦,一些年轻人甚至放弃了学业,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、出国留学
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)目前很多中国学生出国留学,2)出国留学的好处,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、就业
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、大学生难找工作,2、原因很多,3、解决的办法。
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、互联网
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、互联网使用的现状,2、大学生是否应该使用互联网,人们的看法不同,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.参 考 译 文 1.作为现代电脑与网络的产物,在线游戏在大学生中间已经变得非常流行。很多学生喜欢来自于这些游戏的极大快乐与满足。但是我们看到,一些缺乏自律的学生太沉迷于这些游戏,以至于影响了他们的健康和学习成绩。这种现象已经在教师和家长中引起极大忧虑。
然而,有人认为在线游戏并不总是有害。它们可以训练年轻人对事物的快速反应能力。此外,它们可以激发年轻人的想象与对电脑的兴趣。更为重要的是,它确实给大学生带来快乐并极大地减轻他们的压力。
在我看来,如果你以适当的方式玩在线游戏,这是一种极好的娱乐。当它们太影响学习的时候,你最好立即放弃。然而如果你对他们有足够的自制,你当然可以从中获得真正的快乐并受益匪浅。2.近年来,考证在大学生中已经变成一种新的热潮。只是在校园中随机询问一位学生他或她在忙什么,你可能就会得到这样的答案:他正在准备考取某种证书。为何出现这种热潮?
这种现象主要有两点原因。首先,正是就业压力使得大学生去考取更多证书。随着大学的扩招,更多毕业生不得不面对就业市场的激烈竞争。一个人如何使自己更具竞争力?可能就是更多证书在手。此外,学位和证书仍是很多单位衡量个人能力的重要标准。为了改善就业条件,学生们迫使自己不断参加考试。
在我看来,由于证书并不一定证明某人的能力,我们应该更加理性面对证书。盲目地热衷于获得证书只是浪费时间。总之,我们应该重视提升能力,而不是获得没有使用价值的证书。3.根据一项调查,近年来大学生每月花销已经急剧增加。很多大学生脑中根本没有节俭的概念。在走入社会之前,他们想当然地花费父母给的钱。这种浪费花销主要由以下原因引起。
首先,现在大多数学生是家里的独生子女。他们是父母眼中的宝贝,自然得到更多关心和零用钱。其次,随着生活水平的提高,父母能够承担孩子更高的消费。此外,一些学生喜欢追求时尚和潮流,这也易于需要更多钱。最后,校园恋爱也是造成浪费花销的另一可能原因。
在我看来,一名大学生作为纯消费者,应该学会节俭。我们的支出应该限制在日常必需品,而不是不顾价格购买我们想要的一切。节俭的习惯能帮助我们树立正确的价值观,并有利于我们的未来发展。4.现在很多大学鼓励并组织学生参加社会实践活动。在假期,越来越多的学生选择去做志愿者,兼职打工或参加其他类似的实践活动。显而易见,社会实践在中国大学教育中正在发挥日益重要的作用。
毫无疑问,大学生从社会实践中受益匪浅。首先,他们有更多机会接触校园之外的真实世界。其次,在社会实践活动中,学生能把他们的理论知识用于解决实际问题。因此他们的实践技能得到极大提高。此外,社会实践有助于增强学生的社会责任感。
考虑到上述论证,大学生必须参加社会实践活动。然而,社会实践可能带来一些问题。例如,有些学生花费太多时间兼职打工,以至于忽视了他们的学习。因此,我们应该努力平衡社会实践与学习之间的关系。5.普遍公认我们应该正确引导大学生面对生活中的挫折。挫折在我们生活中必不可少,而挫折教育应该在学生和大学中展开。其中的道理非常深刻。
很多值得注意的例子支持上述论证。一个恰当的例子就是当面对某种挫折的时候,每年自杀的大学生越来越多。这充分证明了加强挫折教育刻不容缓。事实上,成功人士似乎倾向于擅长面对挫折。此外,大多数学生经常被挫折所烦恼和沮丧,而非吸取教训。
根据上述论证,我们可以得出结论:挫折教育对于大学生十分重要。但值得注意的是,在进行挫折教育的同时,大学也应为学生提供心理服务。总之,在面对生活中的挫折时,我们应该对大学生给与正确引导。6.近年来,越来越多的人开始参加公务员考试。数以百万的学生选择公务员作为他们毕业后最理想的职业。在他们中间,硕士和博士等高等教育者占据相当大的比例。报考公务员的热潮已经引起广泛的关注。
下述主要原因可以解释这种热潮。首先,现在大学生面对巨大的就业压力。公务员作为当今中国最稳定的职业之一,成为他们的首选。其次,近年来公务员的福利和待遇已经极大改善,无疑吸引了很多人。最后,公务员较高的社会地位也是吸引很多人报考公务员的一个重要原因。
在我看来,报考公务员的热潮在未来几年中仍将继续。然而,从长远来看,这对我们国家的发展并没有好处。如果大多数高素质人才聚集中于政府部门,这可能导致一种资源浪费。因此,个人和政府都应对报考公务员的热潮有一种更客观的认识。7.现在,电视选秀节目是中国的一大热点,已经吸引了很多年轻人。为了一夜成名,有些年轻人甚至放弃他们的学业来参加这些节目。有人认为这些节目为年轻人提供了更多展示才能的机会,而其他人认为参加这些节目对年轻人没有好处。就我而言,我支持后者的观点。
不可否认,像李宇春等一些年轻人在选秀节目的无数参与者中脱颖而出,但这并不意味着参加选秀节目是年轻人成功的好途径。下述原因可以支持我的观点、首先,电视选秀节目引起了不安,并诱使年轻人不惜代价追逐成名。此外,选秀节目可以扭曲年轻人的价值观。他们认为参加选秀节目是成功的一条捷径,因而轻视通过努力工作获得成功的方式。最后,如果年轻人在这些节目中失败,他们将遭受巨大的心理失衡。
总之,参加电视选秀节目不是年轻人获得成功的好途径。我认为年轻人在决定参加之前应该慎重。
8、目前,出国留学在年轻人中间非常流行。我们应该充分重视留学问题。
出国留学有很多好处。首先,国外生活和学习为学生提供了一个看待世界的不同视角。在大学校园中,国际学生很可能遇到来自不同国家和地区的同伴,并且面临迥异的观念和价值。此外,海外经历是外语在实际生活运用的最佳时机。没有什么比住在母语国家提高第二外语技能的更好机会了。
总之,我认为尽管出国留学很昂贵,并且可能会痛苦,但这种付出是值得的。首先,除了知识之外,留学生可以获得留在国内的学生永远无法获得的宝贵经验。其次,尽管留学经历可能使人沮丧痛苦,然而这对年轻人的成长是有益的。
9、找工作对很多大学毕业生来讲已经变成了非常头疼的问题。尽管很多人在毕业之后马上找到工作,还是有些人没有找到。最为严重的是,有些人在毕业很长时间之后,还不知道去哪找工作。
产生这一现象的原因有很多。首先,几年前各大学院和大学录取了这么多经济、金融等热门专业的学生,以至于毕业生的数量超过了市场需求。其次,大多数大学生宁愿待在大城市,找不到合适的工作,也不愿去小城市和乡村。
我认为如果大学和学生都采取有效措施,这个难题可以解决。首先,大学应该通过市场调查来发展学生的特殊技能以适应需求。其次,学生的就业观念应该转变。他们应该去小城市和乡镇,在那里他们可以充分发挥自己的专业理论知识和实践技能。总而言之,如果我们更加重视,这种状况可以得到改进。
10、近年来,人们与互联网之间的关系变得越来越不可分割。众所周知,无论是为了自我娱乐还是适应工作的需求,对我们来说,在网上冲浪时点击鼠标非常方便。
一方面,不可否认互联网现在是我们日常生活中最有用的媒体之一。作为一名大学生,我每天上网借助电子邮件和我的网友交流信息。但另一方面,很多人承认他们太沉迷于网络,以至于无法保持一种正常和健康的生活方式。
因此,我们很有必要以一种合理的方式使用互联网,避免过度沉迷。毕竟,人们发明互联网是为了丰富我们的生活,提高我们的工作效率,并非用锁链束缚我们。
第三篇:大学英语期末考试写作必背
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.这幅图画生动描述了一位可爱的美国小女孩身穿传统的中国服装,面带甜蜜的微笑。她戴着具有某个中国少数民族服饰特征的发带、项链和其他装饰品。
神秘的中国文化吸引了各国人民这一事实,显示了在某种程度上,一种文化可以被国际性地接受、尊重、欣赏和分享。换而言之,一个民族独特的文化可以通过全球性的经济和文化交流走向世界。由于全球化潮流不可阻挡,所以文化交流可以有效增进相互间的理解和友谊。
在我看来,我们应该保存和珍惜作为无价精神财富的民族文化。同时,我们很有必要推广世界文化,因为来自其他文化的观点,即使乍看起来相互矛盾或荒谬,但从长远看来,可以为我们观察这个世界提供一种不同的视角。
2.图画作文:环境保护
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.如图所示,两名游客正在一艘小船上观光,同时把野餐的剩余垃圾随意丢入湖中。在图画下方,有个小标题写明:“旅程之‘余’”。
从漫画中,我们可以得出结论,画家想要表达下述信息:成群的游客涌入很多景点,制造并丢弃了大量的垃圾,影响了大自然的美观。一方面,旅游业作为一项数十亿美元的产业,正在世界各地迅猛发展。另一方面,旅游业已经对我们生存的环境造成了巨大的压力:水受到污染,生态平衡遭到破坏,自然资源被过度开发。
毫无疑问,由于在其他收入很少的地区,旅游业确实有助于发展经济,因此任何国家都无法禁止旅游业。但重要的是旅游业毫无节制的发展可能使得经济发展不可持续。
3.提纲作文:网上购物
Directions:
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.现在网上购物已成为一种时尚
2.网上购物有很多好处,但也有不少问题
3.我的建议
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.现在,我们能够找到从未听说过网上购物的人吗?恐怕有点困难。由于互联网技术的飞速发展,网购在大多数城市都已成为时尚。
由于网购具有的明显优势,即其方便性以及随时性,大多数人都喜欢网购。只要喜欢,你可以随时购物——如果你想半夜两点买部手机,没问题。然而,网购也有其缺点:你无法接触商品,更别说试穿了。你在屏幕上看到的衣服材料可能比你预期的要更薄,而且很可能穿在模特身上比你更好看。
个人而言,我认为网购对于购买某些商品是一种很好的方式。然而,对于诸如服装等其他商品,我认为最好在传统商店购买。在传统商店,你可以看到真正的颜色,感觉面料,并且试穿。
4.图表作文: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.上述图表清楚揭示了过去七年在工程硕士招生方面出现了急剧增长。根据上面给出的数据,我们可以得出结论:从1998到2004年,工程硕士招生稳步增长。在1998年,招生人数较少,只有大约2500人。令人惊讶的是,在不到七年中,到2004年招生人数达到35000多人。
促成上述变化的一些主要原因可以概括如下。首先,中国在制造业方面已经变得异常活跃,这导致了高素质工程师需求的增加。此外,就业市场的总体发展无法跟上大学毕业生的增加,这促使很多学生继续呆在校园里三年时间,为就业进行更好的准备。最后,工作压力是另外一个原因。考虑到所有这些因素,我们可以预计:随着社会的迅速发展,工程硕士的招生人数在不远的将来将会继续增加。
然而,在问题的另一方面,这种趋势可能带来很多问题,例如人才的浪费。我们必须采取有效措施确保这一状况不会失控,同时鼓励学生们选择那些在就业市场上所需要的既有理论知识又有实践技能的专业。5.图画作文:两代关系
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.上述这组图生动描述了一朵鲜花在不同环境中的命运。如第一幅漫画所示,这朵鲜花正在舒适的温室里充分绽放,温室保护它免于可怕的闪电和风雨。相反,当被搬出温室并暴露在风雨之下时,鲜花很快就凋谢枯萎了。
这朵娇弱的鲜花自然和我们的年轻人联系起来,具体而言,就是当代社会的独生子女。温室是保护孩子免受风雨的父母溺爱和优越物质条件的缩影,而风雨就是严峻的现实。一旦年轻人开始寻求独立并且接受来自现实世界的挑战,人们发现他们已经被惯坏了,在困难面前无法足够坚强。
总之,我们很有必要从这些发人深思的图画中得出积极的含义。只有经历更多的挑战和磨练,年轻人才能培养强大的个性和能力,而且只有这样他们才能成为这个竞争世界中的强者。
6.引语评论: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.正如谚语所说,“建立信任需要很多年,但毁掉信任只需要几秒钟”。一个人若想人生有成,应具备的最重要的特征就是保持信任。一个人只有坚定不移地做到诚实,才能赢得家人和商业伙伴的宝贵信任。
一方面,父母和孩子的关系必须建立在信任与诚信的基础上。如果一位父亲多次许诺儿子会带他去看足球比赛,结果每次都取消计划,那么慢慢地,儿子自然就不再相信父亲说的话了。另一方面,在商界,没有诚信的人迟早会落个身败名裂。我目睹了一个人用欺骗毁掉了自己成功的机会,他与别人的关系统统是以个人利益为基础,因而纯粹是肤浅的。
信任是一份十分珍贵的财富,失去容易获得难。从长远看,一个诚实的人将赢得周围人的爱戴和尊敬。在我看来,这就是衡量成功人生的最重要的尺度。
7.引语评论:习惯
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.”
有句话说“好的习惯来自于抵制诱惑”,我非常同意。不幸的是,年轻人缺乏坚定的意志和社会经验,总是陷入网络游戏、吸烟、喝酒等诱惑的陷阱。
为了养成良好的习惯,人们需要坚定的意志和坚持不懈来抵制诱惑。可以给出无数的例子,但下面这些例子足矣。经常阅读文学经典的优秀习惯就是其中之一。然而,你必须在心爱的网络游戏或诱人的手机上花费更少的时间。同样,每天进行锻炼的良好习惯意味着日复一日强迫自己远离电视剧和舒适的沙发。这些例子清楚证明了好的习惯源于抵制诱惑。
综上所述,我们年轻人应该逐渐培养明智的心态和坚定的意志,以便抵制各种各样不好的诱惑并形成良好的习惯。正如著名的英国作家奥斯卡王尔德所说:“除了诱惑,我都能抵制。” 8.引语评论: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.正如谚语所说:“幸福并非没有问题,而在于解决问题的能力”。为何很难定义、发现和获得幸福?我认为最重要的因素在于人们的态度。
人们的生活环境和他们多么幸福之间没什么关系。相反,幸福在于获取幸福的奋斗之中。例如,人们有时候会走极端,疯狂追求金钱、权利、很高的社会地位等等。这些都是成功的象征,但并非幸福的象征。也许如果他们把人生目标从终极成功转向未来他们必将成功的自信,他们将会更加幸福。
除了定义幸福之外,我如何来获取幸福?毫无疑问不同的人对于实现这一目标有着迥然不同的方式。对我而言,最大的秘密就是认识到幸福只是其他事情的一种副产品。最明显的来源就是给予我们目标的那些追求。这些追求可以使从打网球到研究昆虫的任何事情。我们越有激情,我们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月大学英语四级范文背诵(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月大学英语四级范文背诵(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月大学英语四级范文背诵(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月大学英语四级范文背诵(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月大学英语四级范文背诵(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月大学英语四级范文背诵(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月大学英语四级范文背诵(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年大学英语四六级考试精读荟萃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.”

写作方法与文章大意
这是一篇论述“美元下跌的后果”的文章,采用对比,顺序,因果等写作。先提出问题:美元下跌,美国得利有二:一是(第一段)商品便宜,销售量大,赤字下降,全球自由贸易体系保住。二是(第二段)外国投资者会抢购美国股票。总之,美国竞争力加强。
这两段中都有对比。第一段美国和日本的对比,开头“就像滴答作响的定时炸弹,日见下跌的美元抓住了日本和西德的注意力,迫使他们考虑采取美国提出的经济政策。“第二段是美国本身之利弊对比。“……许多外国投资者抢购出口导向的美国股票,期望在下一年左右的时间里得到较多的利润。如果公司收益在今后几个季度里令人失望的话,这种买进古片的狂热行为就可能消失。最后,如果美元价格直线下跌导致利率上升,股票市场价格回升就会停顿。“ 后面两段是这两段负效应的进一步论证。
答案祥解
1.B.美元下跌的结果。全篇文章都讲的美元下跌的后果。
A.美元下跌的印象。C.美元下跌的副作用,均不对。因为还讲述了有利的一面。D.日本的、西德担忧美元下跌,这只是其中的部分内容。
2.A.繁荣。第五段“美元下跌是否会失控:如果美元下跌过多,投资者可能会失去对美国投资的信心,特别是对美国的债务市场。对联邦政府预算和贸易赤字提供的资金可能移向其它市场,因为日本和西德厂商最终会将上涨的价格转嫁出去,美国公司也可能这么做,以提高其市场利润幅度,从而使通货膨胀再次爆发。美国联邦储备委员会这时可能需要介入,提高利率来稳定美元。而较高利率会导致美国经济减慢,华尔街的繁荣行将结束。”
B.衰退。C.富有。D.出口,都不是rally之含义。
3.C.因为下跌对他们贸易有损害。第三段“改善美国竞争力意味着其他国家的竞争力下降。”第四段,“日本和西德正濒于经济衰退的边缘。其出口导向的经济正在面临严重问题。日本担心由于日元坚挺而给其贸易带来损害,西德也在发愁。上个星期,法兰克福股市价格暴跌。据说,波恩已在考虑降低利率以振兴其经济。
A.美元下跌会使他们国家通货膨胀。没有正式提到, 内涵只是贸易带来的其他具体问题。B.它可能迫使他们卖掉许多美国股票。D.这可能使日本竞争力下降。问题是提出两国,不单单是日本。
4.A.美国经济繁荣消失,见第2题答案A的注释。

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?

难句译注
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.[结构简析] 两个句子都是被动语气,都有分词短语。前一句known 修饰organization,后一句stuffed 修饰 cabinet.[参考译文] 闻名于世的国际刑警组织长被描述成一群仪表英俊,目光犀利和罪犯斗争的战士的群体组织。他们的生命无时无刻不处于危险之中。国际刑警组织也被描述为一个大型的档案室,里面挤满了工作人员,他们被自己的统计数字忙得喘不过气来。
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.[结构简析] 这是两个句子,都是引导词there句型。
[参考译文] 这里肯定能见到和罪犯斗争的冷酷无情的斗士在国际刑警组织工作,同样可以肯定,这里有那些懒洋洋的人在翻动如山的文件档案,他们的脸颊由于室内生活而消瘦如刀。
3.Continents leaped in a single bound, oceans crossed in the space of a breath, villains watched by eyes that never sleep.[结构简析] 这是省略句。正常句型应该是Continents are leaped in„,Oceans are crossed in„, villains are watched by „。
[参考译文] 大洲可一步跨过。大洋可以在转眼之间越过,坏蛋可以由日夜不眠的眼睛紧盯着。
4.These are the front-line troops, the action people.[参考译文] 这些人是前线军,具体行动的人(执行人)。
写作方法与文章大意
这是一篇介绍国际刑警组织的文章。采用一般到具体的写作方法。头二段是对国际刑警组织的一般介绍,后面是具体到NCB,组成国际刑警组织四个部门之一——国家中心局是各国负责和国际刑警保持联系部门,如英国的苏格兰场,美国的财政部等,最后一段讲联系的多种渠道和方式方法。
答案祥解
1.C.国际刑警组织。上面文章大意已经说明介绍国际刑警组织,其职能性质只是附带涉及。所以
A.B.不对。D.迅速发展,文章没有涉及。
2.A.文章是一般到具体的组织结构。
B.因果 和 C.对比。不对。D.展开,任何文章都得展开。
3.C.stuff=crowd 办公室挤满了工作人员,忙于分析处理收集来的信息和数据。见难句译注1参考译文。
A.有许多雇员忙于工作;B.许多办公室人员忙于各种文件;D.忙于自己信息的工人。这三项都没有。
4.B.无线电通讯。纵然第四段内提及种种手段:卫星,无线电,打印机,传真电报。但无线电通讯仍是他们运用的最方便和最得力的工具,因为他们的无线电网络灵活多用,网络站能监控中央和各地区站点,而且一次能把信息传至好几台。至于卫星,电报,传真电报只是在特殊情况下运行,如快速传送照片,指纹等。所以A.卫星,C.无线电打印机,D.传真电报,不对。
