第一篇:文都2011年12月英语四级(CET4)真题
Written in the first chapter of the book Pride and Prejudice is an extraordinary sentence of which even a person who has had only a brief look upon the book will not fail to receive a deep impression-It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.In terms of Sherlock Holmes, we’d better alter the sentence into “It is a fact universally accepted by readers throughout the world that an excellent book in possession of our famous detective Sherlock Holmes is undoubtedly a masterpiece of all times.” Perhaps this is one of the most obvious explanations for the unrivaled popularity of “Holmes series” in the field of detective stories.Overwhelmed by the recommendations provided by my friends, I decided to take a look on this Sherlock Holmes and the Duke’s Son originally published by Oxford University Press.As a whole, this book is about a case concerning the Duke’s missing son.Arthur, the Duke’s son, was found out in a certain morning to have disappeared, accompanied with which was also the disappearance of the German teacher.The school master Dr.Huxtable then turned to the famous detective of the time Sherlock Holmes for help.Realizing how tough and important the case is, Holmes immediately made up his mind to accept the case and followed Dr.Huxtable back to Mackleton by train.Having formed a rough idea about the whole matter, Holmes probed into the case immediately and had a careful investigation of the entire area shortly after the arrival, during the process of which he discovered the body of the German teacher Heidegger.Finally, primarily due to his prominent ability as a detective, he managed to unravel the mystery and obtained the twelve thousand pounds promised by the Duke.Having once started reading this fiction, I was completely immersed in the mysterious story presented by the book.As the saying goes, “Well begun, half done”.At the beginning of the story, just like many other detective stories, the author gives us a brief description of the condition by the words of a client.However, unlike other ones, this story first delineates the client’s strange behavior at length to indicate the severity of the incident in order to attract the readers to continue reading it.As is known to all, vivid depiction is essential to detective stories since it can help the readers understand each figure’s characteristics and visualize the scenes, thus making the story more authentic and attractive.Therefore, trying to present a “real world” to his readership, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, author of the original “Holmes series”, has skillfully arranged the plots of the whole story from the perspective of Dr.Watson, a character not so specialized in discovering the truth hidden behind the
enigmatic happenings as Holmes but so loyal to Sherlock Homes as a friend that he always accompanies Holmes wherever he goes.In this way, he elaborately depicted every scene and character in the book, Apart from the special start, the ending of the whole story, being dramatic but reasonable, is certainly an outstanding one.After all, except the author himself, who knows that the Duke’s seemingly ordinary secretary is in fact the Duke’s bastard? In addition, who knows that the Duke actually has already been acquainted with the whole thing before Holmes solves this complicated problem? Yet, surprising as it is, this ending seems so natural that it fits all the plots of the story perfectly well.While enjoying this wonderful story, I could do nothing but admire the wonderful design of this masterpiece as well as the author’s gorgeous writing skill.Closing my eyes, I can even “see” the story happening just like watching a film.Not until then did I understand why the Japanese cartoon film Detective Conan used this “Conan” as the name of its hero.As far as I am concerned, nothing is more admirable and surprising in the hero Sherlock Homes than his profound knowledge which has certainly assisted him a lot when he was studying the case.Take the bicycle tyres for instance, Holmes actually is capable of recognizing 42 different varieties of bicycle tyres.What’s more, according to his other stories, Holmes has studied different kinds of newspapers, cigarettes, people’s footprints and other special things as well.Therefore, he seems to have the mastery of anything relevant to the cases he deals with.Except for his illimitable knowledge, Holmes also specializes in arranging the facts in order and then finding the fact leading him to a great discovery or even the truth itself.From his speaking “Every mystery has an answer”, we can readily shape the impression of a man with great intelligence and inflexible will.In this case, after getting rid of unrelated facts, Sherlock Homes eventually grasped the clue and discovered the amazing fact.Needless to say, as a world-renowned masterpiece, Sherlock Holmes and the Duke’s Son has attracted and is still charming numerous readers from all corners of the world and people from all walks of life.The “Holmes series” has already set up a standard against which all the following detective fictions are measured.Sherlock Holmes, beyond all doubt, has become a name firmly rooted in people’s memories.Although Dr.Watson’s closing The Case Book of Sherlock Holmes in 1927 was a great pity to the readers, the discontinuance of the entire “Holmes series” may have actually added to the legendary stature of Sherlock Holmes.

48.由第一段可知“升值、加薪、中彩票只会给人们带来短期的快乐,这种快乐在过了六个月到一年后就会消失”,第二段首句“Dr.White said his team wanted to see whether living in greener urban areas had a lasting positive effect on people's sense of well-being or whether the effect also disappeared after a period of time.”进一步承接第一段说明Dr.White的研究目的是要知道居住在绿色环境中给人带来的积极影响可以持续多久。故本题正确选项为C选项(How long its positive effect lasts.)。

A letter written by Charles Darwin in 1875 has been returned to the Smithsonian Institution Archives(档案馆)by the FBI after being stolen twice.“We realized in the mid-1970s that it was missing,” says Effie Kapsalis, head of the Smithsonian Institution Archives.“It was noted as missing and likely taken by an intern, from what the FBI is telling us.Word got out that it was missing when someone asked to see the letter for research purposes,” and the intern put the letter back.“The intern likely took the letter again once nobody was watching it.”
Decades passed.Finally the FBI received a tip that the stolen document was located very close to Washington, D.C.Their art crime team recovered the letter but were unable to press charges because the time of limitations had ended.The FBI worked closely with the Archives to determine that the letter was both authentic and definitely Smithsonian’s property.The letter was written by Darwin to thank an American geologist, Dr.Ferdinand Vandeveer Hayden, for sending him copies of his research
http://www.xiexiebang.com/
into the geology of the region that would become Yellowstone National Park.The letter is in fairly good condition, in spite of being out of the care of trained museum staff for so long.“It was luckily in good shape,” says Kapsalis,“ and we just have to do some minor things in order to be able to unfold it.It has some glue on it that has colored it slightly, but nothing that will prevent us from using it.After it is repaired, we will take digital photos of it and that will be available online.One of our goals is to get items of high research value or interest to the public online.”
It would now be difficult for an intern, visitor or a thief to steal a document like this.“Archiving practices have changed greatly since the 1970s,”says Kapsalis.“and we keep our high value documents in a safe that I don’t even have access to.”
51.What happened to Darwin’s letter in the 1970s? A.It was recovered by the FBI.B.It was stolen more than once.C.It was put in the archives for research purposes.http://www.xiexiebang.com/
D.It was purchased by the Smithsonian Archives.52.What did the FBI do after the recovery of the letter? A.They proved its authenticity.B.They kept it in a special safe.C.They arrested the suspect immediately.D.They pressed criminal charges in vain.53.What is Darwin’s letter about? A.The evolution of Yellowstone National Park.B.His cooperation with an American geologist.C.Some geological evidence supporting his theory.D.His acknowledgement of help from a professional.54.What will the Smithsonian Institution Archives do with the letter according to Kapsalis?
http://www.xiexiebang.com/
A.Reserve it for research purposes only.B.Turn it into an object of high interest.C.Keep it a permanent secret.D.Make it available online.55.What has the past half century witnessed according to Kapsalis? A.Growing interest in rare art objects.B.Radical changes in archiving practices.C.Recovery of various missing documents.D.Increases in the value of museum exhibits.51.B.It was stolen more than once.根据文章第一段 being stolen twice可以得知Darwin的信件被偷了一次以上。
52.D.They pressed criminal charges in vain.根据第三段第二句“Their art crime team recovered the letter but were unable to press charges because the time of limitations had ended.”意思是由于超过了时间限制,http://www.xiexiebang.com/
因此不能够起诉犯罪团伙了,选项中的in vain意思是无效 选项意思是FBI起诉犯罪团伙无效符合题意。
53.D.His acknowledgement of help from a professional.根据第四段可以得知Darwin写这封信为了感谢地理学家提供给他一些相关地理方面的材料,D选项acknowledgement意思是感谢,他感谢来自专业人士的帮助,符合文章意思
54.D.Make it available online.根据文章倒数第二段倒数第二句”After it is repaired, we will take digital photos of it and that will be available online.” 意思是资料修复之后,我们将会拍一些照片放在网上。选项意思与此句完全符合
55.B.Radical changes in archiving practices.选项意思是在实行归档方面发生了根本变化,根据文章最后一段Archiving practices have changed greatly since the 1970s可以得知从1970年开始在实行归档方面发生了巨大变化。符合题意

以下为2013年6月大学英语四级考试作文范文,由文都教育提供,考完试的同学可以看一下,备考的同学也可以研究一下考题。希望大家四级考试顺利通过。The picture shows us a dialogue between a father and a son.The son told his father, “Dad, I'm a bit worried about disposing of nuclear waste”.While his father told him, “If you can empty the dustbin here you can do anything”.It reveals the importance of doing small things well before undertaking something big.There is also an old Chinese saying to go with this that a person can't sweep the world before he can sweep his own room.I agree on the point that it is of great importance for a person to do small things well before undertaking something big.First of all, doing small things well entail the qualities that needed in doing great things such as patience and ability of controlling time.For example, when we sweep our room, we need to manage our time and energy reasonably.Accordingly, if we sweep a bigger room, for example, a classroom with our classmates, we should learn how to cooperate and allot assignments as well.And a big advantage is that we can draw useful lessons from the failure of performing well because they didn't cost a lot.In another word, though these things seem trivial, they reinforce our manipulative ability and thus our understanding to the world.Therefore, we should not ignore the small things.2013年6月英语四级答案汇总 英语四级答案
第四篇:英语四级作文真题
Part Ⅰ Writing
审题谋篇
本次四级作文主题为“绿色校园”,这是一个看似简单普通的话题,写起来却不是那么容易。因为很多考生对于“绿色校园”所表达的内涵感觉比较生僻。假如对“绿色校园”这一主题感到难以把握,考生可以从作文提纲入手进行分析以获取对“绿色校园”这一概念的相关信息。根据作文提示2,可以看出此处的“绿色校园”指的决不仅仅是青青的草地和高大的树木构成的校园绿色风景,也不仅仅指对校园环境的珍视和爱护,而是指一种环境保护的文化氛围和师生具有的环境素养,以及由此带来的和谐的人文环境和社会绩效。在深入理解概念的基础上,考生还应对 “绿色校园”的重要性进行剖析,这时,考生可以从多个角度组织素材,比如从校园的环境问题出发,进而扩展到师生的环境意识对“绿色校园”所产生的长远意义以及为未来环境改善所做的贡献。最后是阐述建设“绿色校园”所要采取的措施。需要注意的就是作文给分的重点在于考生如何用恰当的语言词汇表达自己的思想观点。而不是写得越多,得分就越高。一般分成三个自然段,大概十句话,基本的分布为首段、末段合起来五句或六句,中间段五句或四句,做到结构清楚,重点突出,就可以了。参考范文
Creating a Green Campus
Recently, with the idea of making and maintaining “a green earth” being the focus of the society, “green campus” has become a more and more popular concept in universities or colleges, which, undoubtedly, will bring us an ever-lasting benefit to both our campus and our society.The concept of “green campus” does not only mean a green environment but also refers to an environmental sense in people’s mind.Campus plays a crucial role in educating the young generation and the consciousness of “green campus” will definitely produce a profound effect on students’ various environmental protection activities after their graduation.What’s more, the young generation is under the burden of severe environmental pollution and there are many problems waiting for them to solve.To make “green campus” come true, firstly, it is necessary to work out effective principles for the development of sustainable and recyclable campus.Secondly, it calls for people’s awareness of the serious pollution around us and actual action to reduce the waste.Last but not least, it is necessary to strengthen the ties between campus and society, so as to ensure that “green campus” can work smoothly with the co-effort of the whole society.建设绿色校园
近来,随着建设并保持“绿色地球”的观念成为社会关注的焦点,“绿色校园”也成为校园里流行的话题。这无疑会给我们的校园和社会带来长远的利益。
“绿色校园”不仅仅指绿色的环境,还包括人们头脑中的环境意识。学校在培养年轻一代上起着关键作用,“绿色校园”的意识必定会对学生毕业后的环境保护意识产生长远影响。更为重要的是,年轻一代面临着严重的环境污染,有太多问题等待他们去解决。
为使“绿色校园”成为现实,首先应该制定出可持续发展、可长远发展的有效政策。其次,还需要人们对环境污染的严肃性有正确认识并采取实际行动切实减少污染。最后但同样重要的是,有必要加强学校和社会的联系以便在全社会共同努力下使“绿色校园”顺利实施。范文点评
范文以“绿色校园”开篇,保证了文章切题。第一段开门见山,强调当今环保理念下构建“绿色校园”的长远意义。第二段,着重讨论“绿色校园”的含义,指出“绿色校园”不仅指校园中的绿化,还指生活在校园中的人们的绿色和环保意识,把校园这个小环境和社会这个大环境结合起来,说理更加深刻。第三段是谈及具体的做法,分一、二、三点进行论述,无疑是使“绿色校园”的理念落在实处。结构完整,首尾呼应,用词准确。关系词的正确使用让句与句之间、段与段之间衔接紧凑,思想表达成熟有深度。
【生动的用词】 maintain保持;concept概念;profound长远的;sustainable可持续的;recyclable可循环的。
【丰富的短语】bring benefit to带来利益;play a crucial role in发挥关键作用;under the burden of在„„重负下;come true实现;call for要求。
【多变的句式】
范文中长句、短句、简单句、复杂句交叉使用。不同句型之间的转换,能让阅卷老师更好地了解考生对句子结构的掌握运用,从而获得高分。
避错指导
本次作文在题材上,虽然仍然延续了我们所熟悉校园类话题,但与社会背景有很大关系。刚刚闭幕的哥本哈根世界气候大会使环保减排这个主题成为焦点,在全世界都提倡可持续发展、和谐发展这一背景下的“绿色校园”,同时也是一个社会热点话题,这是我们审题时所必须考虑的。另外开篇时,切忌拖泥带水,应直截了当,使阅卷老师对文章主题一目了然。除正确审题之外,考生还应注意语言的准确运用,不落俗套。不同句型之间转换时,考生应对句子结构全面掌握,避免句式错误造成扣分。
最后,应尽量避免单词拼写错误。本次作文常见的卷面拼写错误如下表:
正确拼写 词性及词义 错误的拼写
focus n.焦点 focuse
effect n.影响 effection /affect
environment n.环境 envirment/invironment
burden n.负担 burdon solve v.解决 slove serious a.严肃的 serous true a.真的 ture
society n.社会 soceity
theory n.理论 thery
总之,考生在构思和写作过程中要尽可能做到思路完整,恰如其分地选择词汇。毕竟,无错表达才是四级语言表达合格的核心。
能力拓展
【同义词转换】
作文表达除了准确,还要做到句式多变,词汇灵活多样。

2.keep → preserve 保持

3.lead → conduct 引导

命题风向标
本次作文难度适中,与之前考试中出现的“限塑”主题有千丝万缕的联系。考生要想在本次作文中获取高分,除了审题恰当独到,还要有扎实的语言基础。如本文主题“绿色校园”可以采用多种表达:green campus和environmental-friendly campus;“绿色校园的构建”可以使用create,build up,establish和construct等,以体现考生对词汇多样性的积累。
从关注白色污染到关注博物馆免费开放,再到绿色校园构建,四级作文命题重点在侧重校园类话题的同时开始向与大学生生活有关的话题转移。由此也凸显了对历年真题分析的重要意义。更多地立足真题,总结规律,切实提高自己语言能力,始终是四级作文备考的根本。

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

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

[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
