Nothing Succeeds Without a Strong Will

Sometimes, in our daily life, the easiest thing might be the most difficult thing, as in the case of some people trying to quit smoking for hundreds of times and still making endless efforts without any hope of success.The reason for their failure is their lack of a strong will.In our modern world, nothing is simple and straightforward.Something might appear deceptively easy at first, but as we proceed on, we will find that it is actually extremely difficult.Therefore, we must take whatever we do seriously and be mentally prepared to make our utmost exertions.When we encounter obstacles and setbacks, we must apply our strong willpower and persevere until we finally succeed.For us university students, in our academic studies or in our daily life on campus, we might not be faced with insurmountable challenges.But we need to get prepared, right now, to take things seriously, try to cultivate our strong will, and be ready to pursue our goals through persistence and indefatigable will.I believe it’s the only way we can achieve our success。范文二：

Nothing Succeeds Without a Strong Will

Success depends on many factors, both physical and spiritual.In my opinion, mental factors like a strong will are far more decisive in enabling us to achieve success.For example, despite our repeated efforts to quit smoking, our lack of a strong will would still cause us to end up in failure.In any of our undertakings, we should first set a goal.Some goals are highly challenging.Without a strong will, people would give up in the middle and they fail to achieve their goals.For those people who do succeed, they succeed simply because they have that mental stamina which enables them to challenge even the most insurmountable difficulties.We often say that ‘Impossible is Nothing’.To make the impossible possible, we must exercise our perseverance and strong willpower.Or, as an English proverb goes, ‘If there is a will, there is a way.’ Our world is becoming increasingly competitive and only by making strong-willed efforts can we maximize our full potential and gain competitive edges, and prevail over all obstacles that lie in our way to success。

中国进一步发展核能，因为核电目前只占其总发电量的2%。该比例在所有核国家中居第30位，几乎是最低的。

2011年3月日本核电站事故后，中国的核能开发停了下来，中止审批新的核电站，并开展全国性的核安全检查。到2012年10月，审批才又谨慎地恢复。

随着技术和安全措施的改进，发生事故的可能性完全可以降低到最低程度。换句话说，核能是可以安全开发和利用的。

【参考译文】

China should develop the energy of nuclear more, for nuclear power only accounts for 2% of the gross electrical power output, which makes China the least, the 30th, in the list of countries which own nuclear power.After the Japan’s accidents in March 2011, the exploration of nuclear power has been suspended, including halting the examining and approving new nuclear power stations as well as safety inspection of all the nuclear stations in the country.The approval didn’t recover until October, 2012.With the improvement of technology and safety arrangement, the possibilities of nuclear accidents could be reduced to the minimum degree.That is to say, nuclear power could be developed and utilized without accidents.翻译三：2014年6月英语四级翻译答案(阅读)

第五篇：英语四级近三年真题作文及答案

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minute to write a short essay on the topic of students selecting their lectures.You should write at least 120 words following the outline given bellow: 1.越来越多的博物馆免费对外开放的目的是什么？ 2.也会带来一些问题 3.你的看法？

Free admission to museums

参考答案

Part I Writing Free Admission to Museums（满分版）

Nowadays, an increasing number of museums are admission-free to visitors home and abroad.The hidden reason behind this is not hard to analyze as there’s a growing awareness for the authorities regarding the urgency of popularization of culture, knowledge and history with every average person in our society.Only with free access to this live ‘database’, can most people fully enjoy what museums could offer to them.However, free admission to museums might lead to some social problems as well.The most obvious problem is that it might give museums a very heavy economic burden which directly impedes the sustainable development of these organizations.As a result, our government has to work out other ways to collect funds from different channels, which might be difficult to operate or control.On the other hand, free admission attracts too many visitors, some of which might not be well-purposed and do some conscious or unconscious damage to the valuable treasures which used to be well-preserved in the museums.As a university student, I am in favor of the free-admission conduct.Yet it is proposed that some measures should be taken to solve the potential problems caused by it.For example, museums can make some regulations to guide the behavior of visitors or set some ‘closed’ days for museums for regular maintenance.Only in this way can free-admission to museums become a long-lasting phenomenon and have sustainable development.Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on the topic of Creating a Green Campus.You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below:

1.建设绿色校园很重要

2.绿色校园不仅指绿色的环境„„

3.为了建设绿色校园，我们应该„„

Creating a Green Campus 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。

Due Attention Should Be Given To Spelling

_______________________________________________________________________________ 作文范文：

Due Attention Should Be Given To Spelling

Correct spelling is a basic skill in English study.However, nowadays many students do not pay much attention to it.They have their own reasons for misspelling.First of all, they like an easy way of studying, which causes some omissions and changes in spelling.Second, the teachers might not be very strict in students’ spelling.In China, teachers seem to be more concerned with grammar and vocabulary but not spelling.To change this situation, in my opinion, the teachers and the students should work together.On one and, the teachers should give more attention to students’ spelling, asking the students to be conscious of the importance of correct spelling from the very beginning of their English study.On the other hand, the students themselves are supposed to be aware that correct spelling is a must in English study.To sum up, correct spelling is so important that both students and the teachers should spare no efforts to achieve correct spelling.
