第一篇:四级真题最重要
四六级过关经验谈:真题最重要
2011年12月的四六级成绩已经出来了,又是一家欢喜一家愁啊!低分飞过的同学暗暗自喜,相差几分的同学捶胸顿足……没过四六级的同学们来看看一年内把四级和六级通通拿下的考生的经验分享吧!
一年间,四级557,六级511,虽然分数不高,但是一年备考两个考试还是有话可说的:必备物品:对于高考能英语考及格的你,只需要有真题而已,如果有需要可以再加一本词汇,如果要保险,来考试大网校报个班,优惠下来二百左右,认真听会有很大收获。
1.我觉得四六级关键还是在于坚持,英语是一门语言,放弃一日退三日,所以如果不是天生对语言有感觉的人,坚持最重要。
2.考试技巧:过四六级和英语水平有关系,但是并不成完全正比,四六级考试技巧很重要,答得好不如答得巧。
3.听力:只要不是先天耳朵有毛病,都可以练出来。方法:用真题,第一次自己做,把听不懂的题目标记下来,第二次专门听这些不懂的题,没准就会有思路。最后一遍,对照听力原文再听一遍,就知道当初听不懂的是什么了。
4.阅读:多做,限时做,深度阅读每个文章8分钟,快速阅读12分钟,练习造就精彩。俗话说的好,拳不离手曲不离口。
5.综合:选词填空和完型最好先通读一次,然后把十分有把握的选上,这样正确率就高了。
6.作文:首先是千万要审题,看好题目要求,之后多看范文,把一些好的词汇句型记下来,考试前几天看看,多写一下。
7.模拟考场:真题十多套,至少留出5套模拟考场限时答题,这样你才能发挥的最好。
8.真题总结:每做完一套真题,应该认真看答案解析,包括阅读文章里面的好的词语,完形填空的词组,选词填空的单词最好都积累在本子上,便于积累复习。
9.当然六级的时候我每天学校里社团活动很忙,所以在暑假的时候在考试大网校报了一个班,效果还是可以的,让我十一月再回归复习的时候不会有生疏感,大家资金允许也可以试试。
英语四级精讲班(听力,写作,阅读,词汇,综合)
英语六级精讲班(听力,写作,阅读,词汇,综合)
总之:坚持,注重方法,模拟考场,立足真题,注重积累,做到这些,四六级500+没问题了。
一点小小的建议,希望对大家有用。

在这里谈四级备考心得有些汗颜,因为本人过四级是N年前的事,那会儿的标准还是60分算过,发个红本本。况且本人虽是一次通过,分数实在不够漂亮。但是,或许对于大多数四级“后浪”们来说,通过或者425分才是眼下最直接的目的,因此我这个“前浪”的某些所谓备考经验,也许够得上“不求高分,但求通过”的要求,遂大言不惭地说上一回。
思想要重视
我是考前两个月开始着手准备的,不过除掉吃吃喝喝犯懒走神的时间,真正用心的时候并不多——我想如果我更用心一些,也许分数就上能更好看些。因此,准备四级,最重要的是首先在思想上重视起来。大家刚经历过高考不久,高中的英语底子基本都还在,只要上大学后不是放纵得太厉害,略用心准备一下,通过四级都不算很困难。
但是,很多人都没想到要重视四级,觉得四级简单,凭高中的基础混个425分问题不大,于是英勇地“裸考”,结果自然愁眉苦脸(往往只差那么一点点),本人当年的诸多同班同学(尤其是男生)皆是这样阴沟翻船。四级再容易,也是一门带有选拔性质、有通过率和淘汰率的大学英语考试,不重视或者不加准备,想过关也没那么容易。除非你高中就有了专八的水平,或者从小就是天才神童,否则,像我们这样的普通孩子还是踏实准备、细心应考的好。无论考试还是机遇,都只青睐有准备的脑袋,“不劳而获”那是童话。
备考主题:模拟题+真题
说实话,我没有背单词。虽然也装模作样地买了本四级词汇,没事就揣在包里,想着路上车上等人的间隙拿出来背两个单词,其实收获不大,光背不应用很快就忘,到考完四级也没把A背完。头几页的单词倒是都记得烂熟,考试时统统没考到。
我的主要备考方式就是做题,先做模拟题,再做历年真题。
做模拟题时,刚开始不要限制做题时间,放开了让自己做,什么时候做完什么时候算完,主要目的是熟悉试卷结构和题量设置。做题频率不要太高,一天最多一套,一周2-3套也可。但每做完一套题,要仔细核对参考答案,尤其要留意答案解析,弄清楚每一道题对在哪里,错在哪里(因此买辅导书时,最好挑那些答案解析比较详细的)。注意,不要因为这道题做对了就不看答案解析,多看一遍解析可以巩固知识点,再说如果是你蒙对的呢?
半个月后,依然做模拟题,此时开始要有意识地控制答题时间,事先按自己的实际情况分配好各类题目的作答时间,尽量要求自己在计划时间内答完所有题 在线学英语 体验请申请:
目。每做完一套题,依然要对答案、看解析。
考前一个月左右,开始做真题。真题不用多,10套左右即可,也就是最近5年内的。做题频率也不要太高,2天一套最好。做题方法同模拟题,但注意要严格控制时间,一定要逼自己在规定时间内做完所有题目,拿不准的题目先跳过,最后没时间了就猜一个答案,千万不能对自己“心软”,因为考试时间一到监考老师是不会手软的。做真题时,就尽量不要选择晚自习时间,而是选择与考试同步的时间(上午9:00-11:00),目的是调整大脑的生物钟,让它在考试时间里保持兴奋状态,而不是在晚上或者其他时间兴奋,兴奋也白搭。
听力不用太早开始练,考前20天差不多。也别每天戴着耳机不停地听,听麻木了就没感觉了,再说耳机这东西并不利于耳朵健康。
最重要的是,做完一套题目后,无论模拟题真题,都要弄懂自己错了哪些题目,为什么错,欠缺的知识点是什么,然后有意识地查缺补漏。
实战经验
备战数月,成败就在考场上的2小时,讲求一定的策略和技巧还是很有必要的。我的经验是:
听力:听之前抓紧时间把题目和选项大致浏览一遍,对提问范围先有所了解,甚至可以把关键词圈出来。带着问题去听录音材料,比较有方向感。
阅读:先看题目和选项,再看文章,原理同听力,阅读时发现进入提问范围了会自然提高“警惕”。
写作:考前多看几篇范文,多背几种复杂从句模板,考试时用内容一套就可以。四级写作还是相对简单,大家都是简单句走全篇时,你有几个漂亮的复杂从句,阅卷老师会觉得眼前一亮,分数自然就上去了。
另:拿不准的题目,就都选B吧,据统计,正确答案是B的几率最高。

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。

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

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

[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

第五篇: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?
