第一篇: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.

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.”

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。
B.美国经济可能面临严重问题。太笼统。C.投资者可能对在美国投资失去信心。这不是美国联邦储备委员会介入后发生之事。D.通货膨胀全面爆发。这也是介入之后果。
Passage Twenty(NCB in Interpol)
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?
[A].The Function of the Interpol.[B].The Quality of the Interpol.[C].The Organization of the Interpol.[D].The Rapid Development of the Interpol.2.The organization of this passage is
[A].general to specific.[B].cause and effect.[C].comparison and contrast.[D].development.3.The sentence “stuffed with clerks choking on their own statistics” in the first paragraph is closest in meaning to
[A].a lot of employees busying in their work.[B].many office workers busying with various documents.[C].crowded with office workers busying with their own collected data.[D].workers busying in their own information.4.Which is the easiest tool to communicate?

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 „。

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。
第三篇: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。

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:

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:

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:
