第一篇：四级阅读真题13
Like many of my generation, I have a weakness for hero worship.At some point, however, we all begin to question our heroes and our need for them.This leads us to ask: What is a hero?Despite immense differences in cultures, heroes around the world generally share a number of characteristics that instruct and inspire people.A hero does something worth talking about.A hero has a story of adventure to tell and a community who will listen.But a hero goes beyond mere fame.Heroes serve powers or principles larger than themselves.Like high-voltage transformers, heroes take the energy of higher powers and step it down so that it can be used by ordinary people.The hero lives a life worthy of imitation.Those who imitate a genuine hero experience life with new depth, enthusiasm, and meaning.A sure test for would-be heroes is what or whom do they serve? What are they willing to live and die for? If the answer or evidence suggests they serve only their own fame, they may be famous persons but not heroes.Madonna and Michael Jackson are famous, but who would claim that their fans find life more abundant?
Heroes are catalysts(催化剂)for change.They have a vision from the mountaintop.They have the skill and the charm to move the masses.They create new possibilities.Without Gandhi, India might still be part of the British Empire.Without Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King, Jr., we might still have segregated(隔离的)buses, restaurants, and parks.It may be possible for large-scale change to occur without leaders with magnetic personalities, but the pace of change would be slow, the vision uncertain, and the committee meetings endless.11.Although heroes may come from different cultures, they _______.A)generally possess certain inspiring characteristics
B)probably share some weaknesses of ordinary people
C)are often influenced by previous generations
D)all unknowingly attract a large number of fans
12.According to the passage, heroes are compared to high-voltage transformers in that ____.A)they have a vision from the mountaintop
B)they have warm feelings and emotions
C)they can serve as concrete examples of noble principles
D)they can make people feel stronger and more confident
13.Madonna and Michael Jackson are not considered heroes because ________.A)they are popular only among certain groups of people
B)their performances do not improve their fans morally
C)their primary concern is their own financial interests
D)they are not clear about the principles they should follow
14.Gandhi and Martin Luther King are typical examples of outstanding leaders who _____.A)are good at demonstrating their charming characters
B)can move the masses with their forceful speeches
C)are capable of meeting all challenges and hardships
D)can provide an answer to the problems of their people
15.The author concludes that historical changes would ______.A)be delayed without leaders with inspiring personal qualities
B)not happen without heroes making the necessary sacrifices
C)take place ff there were heroes to lead the people
D)produce leaders with attractive personalities B)
According to a survey, which was based on the responses of over 188,000 students, today’s traditional-age college freshmen are “more materialistic and less altruistic(利他主义的)” than at any time in the 17 years of the poll.Not surprising in these hard times, the student’s major objective “is to be financially well off.Less important than ever is developing a meaningful philosophy of life.” It follows then that today the most popular course is not literature or history but accounting.Interest in teaching, social service and the “altruistic” fields is at a low.On the other hand, enrollment in business programs, engineering and computer science is way up.That’s no surprise either.A friend of mine(a sales representative for a chemical company)was making twice the salary of her college instructors her first year on the job—even before she completed her two-year associate degree.While it’s true that we all need a career, it is equally true that our civilization has accumulated an incredible amount of knowledge in fields far removed from our own and that we are better for our understanding of these other contributions m be they scientific or artistic.It is equally true that, in studying the diverse wisdom of others, we learn how to think.More important, perhaps, education teaches us to see the connections between things, as well as to see beyond our immediate needs.Weekly we read of unions who went on strike for higher wages, only to drive their employer out of business.No company;no job.How shortsighted in the long run!
But the most important argument for a broad education is that in studying the accumulated wisdom of the ages, we improve our moral sense.I saw a cartoon recently which shows a group of businessmen looking puzzled as they sit around a conference table;one of them is talking on the intercom(对讲机): “Miss Baxter,” he says, “could you please send in someone who can distinguish right from wrong?”
From the long-term point of view, that’s what education really ought to be about.16.According to the author’s observation, college students _______.A)have never been so materialistic as today
B)have never been so interested in the arts
C)have never been so financially well off as today
D)have never attached so much importance to moral sense
17.The students’ criteria for selecting majors today have much to do with _______.A)the influences of their instructors
B)the financial goals they seek in life
C)their own interpretations of the courses
D)their understanding of the contributions of others
18.By saying “While it’s true that...be they scientific or artistic”(Lines 1-3, Para.5), the author
means that _______.A)business management should be included in educational programs
B)human wisdom has accumulated at an extraordinarily high speed
C)human intellectual development has reached new heights
D)the importance of a broad education should not be overlooked
19.Studying the diverse wisdom of others can ________.A)create varying artistic interests
B)help people see things in their right perspective
C)help improve connections among people
D)regulate the behavior of modern people
20.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A)Businessmen absorbed in their career are narrow-minded.B)Managers often find it hard to tell right from wrong.C)People engaged in technical jobs lead a more rewarding life.D)Career seekers should not focus on immediate interests only.11.A 12.C 13.B 14.B 15.A 16.A 17.B 18.D 19.B20.D

英语四级作文真题及参考范文
【题目1】
１．许多人喜欢在除夕夜观看春节晚会
２．但有些人提出取消春节晚会．
３．我的看法．
【参考范文】The approach of the Chinese Lunar New Year poses a national issue concerning the necessity of holding the CCTV Spring Festival Gala.Its established status is being challenged by a growing number of people, especially by younger generations.It is increasingly difficult to cater for all tastes.Some individuals deem that it should be canceled or replaced by other programs.These young people focus their attention on other forms of celebration instead of immersing themselves in TV.Despite that, the majority of mid-aged people and senior citizens uphold the importance of the traditional performance.The most striking feature of this gala is its traditionally close link with ordinary people's lives.Most of people view this gala as an annual staple on the traditional Chinese Spring Festival Eve.They all have a restless night and glue their eyes on the television.I am not supportive of the view that the grand gala should be abandoned.Undoubtedly, it plays a vital role in the celebration of Chinese New Year.To increase its appeal and meet young adults' need, the upcoming performance should invite some big names including super stars from Hongkong and Taiwan.We are all eagerly anticipating this unforgettable evening show.【点评】
本次四级考试作文总体上来说并不是很难。但表现出两个出人意料：一是体裁，二是题材。
对于体裁来说，本次四级作文属于正反对比论证类的文体。比较出人意料，又回到了老的考查模式。很多学生把考前死背的作文模板派上了用场。但是这只能得到最基本的分数。虽然模板对于考查学生的语言表达并不益处，但还能测试出考生的语言基本功。从四级考试写作的测试目的来看，还是注重考查学生对基本语法、基本词汇运用能力的掌握情况。所以除了模板之外，考生还要在基本表达上狠下功夫，只有在平时多操练，在考场上才游刃有余。除此之外，学生还要在作文中多采用闪光点，这样就会使作文在基本分数上有所提升，有所突破。
对于题材，本次四级作文的话题是关于人们对于春节晚会的不同看法，属于社会生活类话题，一反常态，没有再次考查校园类话题。但是对于当代大学生来说，与大学生有关的社会话题也是需要关注的，这也说明考试方向的变化：校园类话题与社会热点话题同等重要,这一点对于未来考四级的学生的作文备考的方向有的指导意义。
【题目2】1.校学生会将组织一次暑期志愿者活动，现招募志愿者。2.本次志愿者活动的目的，内容、安排等。3.报名条件及联系方式。

【范文一】
From the table, we can see that in the past 10 years, the number of people in a given city who have gone traveling abroad has increased considerably.Especially in the recent 5 years, the figure has been more than tripled, surging from 40,000 to 120,000.There are several reasons for the change.Firstly, with the development of economy, more and more people become better off.And their ability to finance their trip abroad is growing.Secondly, tourism has greatly developed over the decade.Travel agencies offer not only domestic packages but also travel specials abroad.In addition, individuals today are expected and encouraged to go outside to widen their horizon and to face the real world of globalization.In this way they hope to keep themselves informed of what is going on around the world.From the changes reflected in the table, we can predict that the number of individuals going out of the country will boost.This encouragingly and inevitably facilitates the cultural exchange between ours and the rest of the world and this trend will be irreversible.【范文二】Currently, people in growing numbers are seeking to make tours in other countries.As is vividly indicated in the above chart, the numbers of foreign-travelling people in X city has reached to more than 120,000 in the year of
2005, compared with about 12,000 in 1995 and less than 40,000 in 2000.From the chart, we can also predict that this trend is likely to continue in the following years.The reasons for the increasing of traveling abroad are obvious as follows.Firstly, as the development of people’s life style and economy, they are rich enough to afford to go travel abroad.Secondly, the world has become a small village as the information age and internet improve.Thirdly, more and more people are interested in the cultue of other countries, therefore they are eager to visit them in their eyed.As we can see from the chart, this trend mentioned above will bring lots of benefits for us.For one thing, traveling abroad will help connect our world closely and enhance the friendship between countries.For another, tourists can leran great amount of experiences and cultures, which will be unquestionably beneficial for our countries development

1．名校校园正成为旅游新热点
2．校园是否应对游客开放，人们看法不同
3．我认为……
［参考作文］Should the University Campus Be Open to Tourists?
【范文一】
One can always find visitors taking pictures and enjoying the scenery in university compus.During the May Day Holiday, National Day Holiday, summer and winter vacations, many University campuses become popular tourist sites.In my opinion, university campus should be open to tourists.In fact, there are many royal gardens and parks, all of them obviously better than the scenery in the Universities.Why do you think people prefer visiting here with their children? That is because it is a dream goal for many Chinese parents and young ambitious students.Besides this, as more tourists come to visit universities, these universities can widen their influence as well and they can also make some profit from the tourism.In a word, I think the university compus should be open to the tourists 4
【范文二】
In university compus, especially in some famous ones, such as Peking University and Qinghua University, tourists are always seen looking around everywhere.Although most of them visit with hope and repect, I think university compus should not be open to tourists.First, tourists' visit will disturb the normal teaching.They always get into teaching buildings, libraries and so on.They will make noise and throw rubbish everywhere.Second, some tourists trample grass to take photos, and sculpture on trees to leave words.These will affect the environment of the compus badly.The university is a holy place for study, not for tourism.So It should not be open.【题目5】Part V.Writing(30 minutes)Directions:For this part.you are allowed 30 minutes to write a letter to a company declining a job offer.You should write at Least 150 words following the outline given below:
1.对公司提供职位表示感谢

第四篇：历年四级写作真题
专四辅导之便条写作
（一）便条的写作
便条是一种简单的书信形式。要求考生仔细阅读和分析所给的情景，确定便条所涉及的内容，如写便条者与便条接收者的身份、两者之间的关系及情景的正式程度等。
便条的特点在于内容简短，大多是临时性的询问、留言、通知、要求等。与正规书信相比，便条的语言更为口语化，比如要通知某事只需这样开头：Just a line to tell you that...而无须像正规书信那样This is to inform you that...开头。有急事需要告诉别人而又不能面谈时，就可以写便条，如请假条、留言条等。一般不写地址，与普通书信基本相同。结尾时也无需要结尾礼词，只需要写上便条者姓名。
便条的日期通常写在右上角，一般只要写上星期几，也可以写明上午、下午的具体时间；日常应用中，写上几月几日的也很普遍。但一般不写年份，因为便条的内容多半是当日或近日内要办的事情。
便条具有用途广泛、形式简单、文字要求不十分严格的特点。
基本写作格式
便条内容和类型不尽相同，可以灵活变通。但必须包括以下四个基本要素； 1）Date：便条日期2）Salutation：称呼3）Body：正文 4）Signature：署名
注意事项
1.词句简洁，尽量避免应酬语和敬词 2.切忌内容空洞、言不达意。分类举例
1）请假（Asking for Leave）
例1 Directions: You are about to write a Business Leave Note of about 100 words.Please describe the information clearly.1)the reason you ask for the leave 2)the time and how long you will leave
Aug.22nd Secretary Li, I’m sorry to apply for ten days’ leave from the Aug.23rd to sept.3rd instant.As I have to leave with the time is urgent.My father now in the hospital is badly ill.I have to go to see him and take care of him for a few days.You know I’m the only child in my family.Of course I will show you the telegram about my father’s illness which is received from my mother to support my application.As concern as the missed lessons during my absence, I promise I will do my best to catch them on after I come back to the campus.Wish for your allowance.Yours respectfully，××× 本文是一封请假条，一般我们要向上级或老师请假，通常用的是ask for leave这个短语，请三天假可写作：ask for three days’ leave;因病请假则是ask for sick leave.leave在这里是名词用法，文中用的短语是apply for意为“申请”，含有更加郑重的意味，常用于下级对上级或晚辈对长辈的书面语中，“Only child”意为“独生子女”相应的，“独生女”译作“only daughter”而“独生子”译作“only son”.As concern as后面跟名词性结构，意为“涉及到，至于”与Concerning同义，两者可以互换。
例2 Directions: Your father is seriously ill, and you want to go back home.Write a note to the secretary and it should include 1)the cause for leaving;2)the days: from 16th to 21st;3)Catch on the lesson after returning school.July 5th Dear Miss Huang, My sister called me last night, and she said that my father is dangerously ill.I beg to apply for seven days’ leave of absence from 16th to 21st instant, in order that I can see my beloved father.I should be much obliged if you would grant me my application.As regards the lessons to be missed during my absence, I will do my best to make up for them as soon as I get back from home.Sincerely yours，××× I should be much obliged if you would...是一种客套语，表示“……，我当不胜感激。”“补课”的英文是to make up for the lessons。2)约请(Invitation)Directions: You have a ticket to the Russian National Ballet Troupe, which is visiting and you want to give it to your friend Alice.Write a note to her and say: 1)the time of the show, 2)the place where you will wait for her.Sunday Dear Alice, Here is a piece of good news for you.The Russian National Ballet Troupe, which is now on a visit in Beijing, will give a performance in the Beijing Grand Theater tomorrow evening.I am sure that you will be happy to watch it.Here I leave you an admission card.The performance will begin at seven o’clock sharp.I will wait for you at the theater entrance.Please let me know whether you are prevented from coming or not.××× 约朋友一起去看戏，可是朋友不在家，只好留下票子和一张便条，但又怕朋友来不了，所以在便条最后特地写上“如果你来不了，告诉我一声”（Please let me know whether you are prevented from coming）3)道歉（Apology）
人非圣贤，孰能无过。在社会交往中，人们常常会出现一些疏忽、过失等。如果发生此类事情，就会给对方带来麻烦和不便。为了避免误解，不影响感情，在这种情况下，应写信给对方予以解释，以请求谅解。此类信要写得及时，态度要诚恳，用词需谦逊。一般在信一开始就向对方表示歉意或内疚，然后说明原因并提出补救的办法。
例1 Directions: You have missed a date of your friend, now you have to write a letter for appologization in about 100 words.May 20th Dear Lily, I am sorry I missed seeing you yesterday.I know that you must have been disappointed.I also feel worried and anxious in my heart.The fact is that my manager at the last moment asked me to prepare a urgent plan while I could not get to a phone to call you and yesterday I have worked late until about 8:30 p.m.I am terribly sorry.However, I would like to ask you out this weekend to make up for yesterday.Please give me a chance and I am waiting for your reply.××× 临时有事未能赴约，一定要把事情解释清楚并真诚的道歉，最好能有弥补（to make up），邀请对方周末再碰头（I would like to ask you out this weekend）注意句子you must have been disappointed中情态动词的用法：情态动词+完成时态，表示过去行为。这句话应该理解为“你当时一定感到很失望”。
例2 Directions: You have received a invitation from your friend, but you have already had some guests in your house.Please express the reason you can’t go clearly in about 100 words.6.April Dear Lucy, I do apologize for having to send this letter about Saturday night.When I accepted your invitation, I simply forgot that Saturday was a holiday and that my own guests were not leaving until Sunday morning.It is difficult for me to make a choice.Though I also wonder to meet you very much.I could not very well go out by myself and leave the guests at my home.I hope you know how sorry I am not to be with you this Saturday.Should I make a visit to you in my other spare time? Thank you very much.××× 自己家里有客人，自然不方便再接受别人邀请去做客所以可以明正言顺的表示拒绝或可另约时间。英文要强调谓语动词，可以加上助动词，例如：I do apologize for being late.例3 Directions: You are already have a date with your friend but suddenly have another thing to do and you have to tell your friend that you can’t go.Express your reason clearly in about 100 words.Monday 9:00 am Dear Jane, I am sorry to tell you that I won’t be able to come this afternoon because I have to go to the airport at 2:00 p.m.to meet an overseas visitor from Australia.I really have kept our date in my mind all these days, however, I received my boss’s e-mail this morning, he asked me to go to the airport to meet one of his friends from abroad, it’s urgent and I must go.Please forgive me.Would you please ring me up to make another time? Many thanks.××× 因有事而不能赴约，只能另约时间（to make或to fix another time）。英国人一般把“打电话”说成to ring somebody up，还可以说 to give somebody a ring，不要错以为别人要送你个戒指。美国人通常说to call somebody。与别人已经定好的约会却临时不能赴约时，应说明原因并诚恳地道歉，以期获得别人的谅解。4）借物(Borrowing)Directions: You are going to write a note for borrowing sth.Please describe these information clearly 1)the thing you ask 2)what you are going to do with it 3)how long will you take it.Tuesday Dear Xiao Wang, I wonder if I could borrow your electronic dictionary for a few days.Now I am translating some important articles.There are many new words which I have to look up the dictionary usually.I just have a paper dictionary but of course it’s not as convenient as the electronic one, which has a bad effect upon my velocity of my translating.So I think your electronic dictionary is more suitable for me to complete my work.I promise that I must be very careful of your dictionary and make no damage done on it.Thank you very much!
Yours ever，××× 字典是我们日常生活中常用的学习工具，但千万不能从字面上认为“查字典”就是“check the dictionary”，而应该用“look up”这个固定短语来表达。“影响……”有一个很地道的短语。“have effect upon/on”,如果是积极影响就在have和effect之间加a good，反之，就加“a bad”其他的形容词例如great，remarkable也可以用来修饰effect，此词在这里是名词。5）回复友人问候(Reply for Regards)Directions: You have just had an operation, and received a note of regards from your friend Jenny.Now please write a reply to her to tell her your current situation.Jan.8th.Dear Jenny, Thanks for your letter of sympathy I received the day before yesterday.The operation on my leg was a wonderful success.You know I had been suffering a lot from my leg since my childhood.The operation removed the cause of trouble.It is quite worth having the operation.I am daily recovering from my illness.I’m confident I will soon be in the office again after proper treatment.Thank you for kind wishes.My best wishes to all your family
××× 这是对好友问候便条的回复。形式简单，内容明了。过去完成进行时“I had been suffering…my childhood”表示动作从过去一直持续到现在。便条写作中的语言表达：
中国人与西方人看问题的方法的确在许多方面存在着差异，而且这种差异的的确确在束缚着中国学生，成为他们英文写作中的拦路虎，使他们不能准确而简洁地表达思想。
比如写下面一则便条，因母亲突然生病，周末你不能和汤姆去跳舞了，你找了舞跳得很好的时黛来代替你，并表示抱歉。
July 6
Dear Tom，I am sorry to inform you that I won't be able to go to dance with you this weekend．My mother is suddenly taken ill．In order not to disappoint you，I have asked Shi Dai to take my place．She is a better dancer，I think．
My regrets．
Joe 从便条中可看出，英语表达先“果”—I won't be able to go to dance with you this weekend后“因”—my mother is suddenly taken ill，即所谓“先果后因”。
一般来说，在单个句子中，英语句子也是先中心，也就是将主要思想、结果放在句首，放在主句里表达；而汉语正相反，一般为后中心，主要的观点、信息往往放在句末。如：He had to stay at home yesterday because he was ill．（因为他病了，昨天他不得不呆在家里。）
Tragedies can be written in literature since there is tragedy in life．（生活中既然有悲剧，文学作品就可以写悲剧。）
所以说，大学生用英文写作时，要按照英美人的思维模式进行思考，避免写出中国式的英语。

2010年Should College Students Hire Cleaners Buying or Borrowing Books?
Books are close friends of humanity.They can arm us with knowledge and information we need to make success of life.Through books we can obtain skills and techniques for survival and development.Through books we can enlighten our spirits and live a fuller life.There are generally two ways in which we can access to books: borrowing or buying.While millions are borrowing books, I still think buying them best suits me and gives me the greatest enjoyment.Admittedly, there are a few merits for borrowing books.For one thing, borrowing books can save us huge amounts of money.And of course, with the money saved we can do other more worthy things.And also, as we borrow books from the library and friends, we normally have deadline to finish them, and consequently we can read more books in a limited time.And we can, above all, better our efficiency of our reading, just as a famous Chinese saying goes, “books can not be read unless borrowed.”
However, some advantages for buying books are more obvious and compelling.One of them, definitely not shared by the choice of borrowing books, is the abundance of freedom that buying books can offer us.Since we can keep the books as long as we wish, we can read as much as we want.Another strength of owing books is that we can take whatever notes on the margin of the pages of the books.And finally, the process of selecting and keeping books can be a great fun that borrowing books can by no means offer.While borrowing books can, to some extent, quench our thirst for knowledge, buying books gives us greater pleasure of selecting and keeping the best of the world treasure.Can we think of any thing else more delightful and rewarding?

2.娱乐活动可能使人们受益，也可能有危害性 3.作为大学生我的看法
College students are enjoying various kinds of recreational activities which involve the following ones: hanging out with friends in parties and clubs, watching films, etc.Those activities bring about benefits as well as disadvantages.Participating in such leisure activities, on the one hand, provides them with great benefits.To begin with, it helps to enhance the communication between undergraduates who are often busy themselves in their homework and researches.It invigorates their off-class lives.Moreover, it will lesson their anxiety and pressure and give them fresh feeling, thus enabling them engage in their works by heart and soul.On the other hand, it does harm to them.Firstly, it distracts students from their studies.To some extent, they can’t find a good balance between the entertainment and study.As a university student, I will spare no efforts to strike a balance between recreation and study.Only in this way can we develop ourselves in an all-around way.2008年1月
What Electives to Choose 1.各大学开设了各种各样的选修课
2.学生因为各种原因选择了不同的选修课 3.以你自己为例······
We all know that elective course can make a free space for everyone to show their strong points, develop their imaginations, creations and personal styles.Every term our school would offer a range of elective courses which you can choose according to your own areas of interest.I always read all course information and analysis which one is suitable for us study.This semester, I took an course about psychological health as my elective course.Nowadays, it is a common phenomenon that people go to have some psychological consultations, including students in school.I always face great pressure from study and life.Being depressed for a long time, I doubt if I am physically healthy.So I choose it as my eclective course of this term.During the course, my mental state improved greatly.First and foremost, I tried to build up a healthy lifestyle.Furthermore, I realized that we need to find different ways to relax ourselves when we face severe competition.Thirdly, we should be sympathetic.Thanks to the electives course.范文2
All the universities offer various electives for students to choose.They may make different choices due to different reasons.But as far as I am concerned, Fashion and Image Design course is worth studying for each individual.First, a good appearance may help us make a better impression in social contacts.The way we are dressed helps us to preserve a sense of our own value and personality.Second, Fashion adds spice to life with its rich color, variety, and beauty.The world will be a dull place to live in if we always wear clothes of the same style and color.And the third, also the most important, being well-dressed is of psychological importance.Because dress properly can enhance our self-confidence in appearance, which will lead to confidence in our success in life.That’s the reason why I choose this course.The confident people are the most charming people, I believe that Fashion and Image Design will give you an unusual life.范文3
Nowadays, there usually exists a wide selection of electives for college students to choose from.However, students have quite different plans for their future so they always end up learning courses based on their own ideas.Some students may choose to learn a certain course in order to obtain an extra certificate for their job hunting after graduation.Because they assume that some more knowledge could ensure more chances of winning in finding a good job.Others may have their choice made just for fun.They tend to hold the idea that college life could be more colorful if they could widen their knowledge through elective courses.As far as I’m concerned, I’m inclined to choose electives based on both the value of the courses and the interest of my own.范文4
Nowadays many college students prefer to have electives in their spare time because the courses can offer a variety of skills and abundant knowledge apart from what they learn in the daily courses.There are many factors that may account for it, and the following are the most conspicuous aspects.To start with, many students want to get another degree besides their own, so that they can have more competence when they seek a job.Furthermore, as for me, I don’t care about degree or job, I just want to obtain some necessary skills to make my college life worthwhile.What I’m concerned most is how to own more skills that may be necessary for my future.Finally, some students want to learn anything that is different from what they are learning now.The science students, for example, want to know about Shakespeare while the art students want to tell how a vehicle works and how to deal with it when it breaks down.So, they can all get what they think is useful to their college life.On the whole, the phenomenon is one of the results of multi-demand of the employment market.There is still a long way for us to improve the elective itself, but as a student myself, I find it rewarding and interesting

Spring Festival Gala on TV 1.许多人喜欢在除夕观看春节联欢晚会 2.有些人却提出取消春节联欢晚会 3.在我看来······
【参考范文】
Spring Festival Gala on CCTV
Since its very advent CCTV’s Spring Festival Gala has made every effort to present grand parties to its gigantic audience with a galaxy of stars and wonderful performances.It has become a custom for millions of Chinese people to sit through the variety show following the traditional family reunion feast.They simply cannot step into the new year without the gala which seems as indispensable to the New Year’s Eve celebration as firecrackers.With the passage of years however a growing number of people begin to view the gala as “ chicken rib” unappealing and worthless when people can feast themselves on other evening entertainment.Some even suggest throwing away the show which fails to give its increasingly demanding and diverse audience a convincing excuse to be rooted in the sofa and stay glued to the TV.To my eye the existence of the gala is still justifiable.For one thing with the variety show characteristic of Chinese tradition aired both home and abroad it provides the Chinese people especially those overseas with a good opportunity to establish their cultural identity on this unique evening.For another the gala a rare occasion of gathering of those performers is undoubtedly a treat for those in the remote or poverty-stricken areas.【参考范文】
The approach of the Chinese Lunar New Year poses a national issue concerning the necessity of holding the CCTV Spring Festival Gala.Its established status is being challenged by a growing number of people, especially by younger generations.It is increasingly difficult to cater for all tastes.Some individuals deem that it should be canceled or replaced by other programs.These young people focus their attention on other forms of celebration instead of immersing themselves in TV.Despite that, the majority of mid-aged people and senior citizens uphold the importance of the traditional performance.The most striking feature of this gala is its traditionally close link with ordinary people's lives.Most of people view this gala as an annual staple on the traditional Chinese Spring Festival Eve.They all have a restless night and glue their eyes on the television.I am not supportive of the view that the grand gala should be abandoned.Undoubtedly, it plays a vital role in the celebration of Chinese New Year.To increase its appeal and meet young adults' need, the upcoming performance should invite some big names including super stars from Hongkong and Taiwan.We are all eagerly anticipating this unforgettable evening show.2006年6月新题型
Our Students Selecting Their Lecturers 1． 有些大学允许学生自由选择某些课程的任课老师 2． 学生选择老师时所考虑的主要因素是······ 3． 学生自选任课老师的益处及可能产生的问题
Nowadays many universities entitle students to choose lecturers freely for some courses, which is welcomed by most students, and is becoming the focus of the students and lecturers concern.There are many factors which will influence students’ selecting lecturers.First of all, it is generally accepted that a lecturer’s professional knowledge and ability is the most important factor, since students choose his /her courses to learn knowledge.Moreover, quite a few students think teaching methods and skills are essential to a good lecturer.A lecturer must know how to teach.In addition, a lecturer’s sense of humor is also an important factor many students will consider.Undoubtedly, freely choosing of lecturers is very beneficial to both lecturers and students.On one hand it can provide a good chance for lecturers to prove and show their ability.On the other hand, in this way students can choose lecturers they like and obtain more initiative in learning.However, since it is a free choice, a small number of excellent lecturers will become the focus of most students, which will lead to an unreasonable class size and influence teaching effect seriously.2006年6月英语四级作文

1．名校校园正成为旅游新热点
2．校园是否应对游客开放，人们看法不同 3．我认为……
［参考作文］Should the University Campus Be Open to Tourists?
［参看范文一］
One can always find visitors taking pictures and enjoying the scenery in university compus.During the May Day Holiday, National Day Holiday, summer and winter vacations, many University campuses become popular tourist sites.In my opinion, university campus should be open to tourists.In fact, there are many royal gardens and parks, all of them obviously better than the scenery in the Universities.Why do you think people prefer visiting here with their children? That is because it is a dream goal for many Chinese parents and young ambitious students.Besides this, as more tourists come to visit universities, these universities can widen their influence as well and they can also make some profit from the tourism.In a word, I think the university compus should be open to the tourists
［参看范文二］
In university campus, especially in some famous ones, such as Peking University and Qinghua University, tourists are always seen looking around everywhere.Although most of them visit with hope and respect, I think university campus should not be open to tourists.First, tourists' visit will disturb the normal teaching.They always get into teaching buildings, libraries and so on.They will make noise and throw rubbish everywhere.Second, some tourists trample grass to take photos, and sculpture on trees to leave words.These will affect the environment of the campus badly.The university is a holy place for study, not for tourism.So It should not be open.2005年6月18日英语四级作文及范文
