Spring Festival Gala on CCTV

As regards the Spring Festival Gala there has been a heated discussion among the general in public in our society. People who believe in-its necessity argue that the Spring Festival Gala performed on CCTV on New Year's Eve presenting grand sight and sound has already been considered as an indispensable custom by many Chinese people.

By contrast，others hold that the 4-hour show is gradually losing its appeal and should he cancelled. The past two decades has witnessed a steady decrease in the number of people watching the Spring Festival Gala from 943 , 500 , 000 to 728 , 500 , the roaring development of economy，various mass media come out like bamboo shoots after spring rain，making it increasingly difficult to cater to all tastes.

As far as I am concerned，I prefer the program to stay. Served as an occasion for families to get together, the Spring Festival Gala is a tradition and treasure of the Chinese people.(153词)

“一句话”点评

毫无疑问，第二段中的两个数据将首先吸引阅卷老师的眼球，同时该句还使用了decade , witness , steady等亮点词和watching分词短语做后置定语，这将给阅卷老师留下良好的第一印象。应该注意的是:比较对照型的第一段往往已经有了一个比较长的模板句，所以建议将“一句话”放在第二段。

快捷构思

从本范文三段之间的篇幅对比和画线部分模板词句来看，比较对照型的整篇构思清晰明了。而且，除第一段第一句为模板句引人话题外，其他段落首句皆为段落中心句(即题目所给提纲)，第一段第二句前半句紧跟其后的为段落中心，完全符合“黄金3原则”的谋篇原则。

第一段:在模板句引人话题后接着提出首段中心“有些人喜欢(认为有必要举行)春节晚会”，并用presenting grand sight and sound和be considered as an indispensable custom by many Chinese people两个原因来支持段落中心。

第二段:开门见山展现段落中心“也有些人提出要取消春节晚会”。而后“一句话”数例为具体现象展示，说明越来越多的人不喜欢了。最后呈现人们不喜欢的原因:媒体暴增，晚会不能满足人们的各种[l味了。

第三段:直接展现自己的观点，并简要提出一个原因，不做更深层次的展开。

美丽词句

(1) presenting grand sight and sound展现美好的视听盛宴

(2)indispensable不可缺少的(优于necessary , important等表达)

(3)lose its appeal失去吸引力(如要表达“对……有吸引力”则用sth. appeal to sb.)

(4)come out like bamboo shoots after spring rain像雨后春笋般呈现出来

(5)increasingly逐渐地，越来越……(优于全国人民都习惯使用的more and more )

(6)cater to all tastes满足各种日味

Directions：For this part，you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on the challenges of starting a career after graduation. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.

Currently，whether to start a career after graduation has become a hot topic among people，especially among the young, and heated debates are right on their way. People's opinions about this issue vary from person to person. I consider that starting our own business tends to pose a considerable number of threats to our future.

First and foremost, compared with graduate education, our knowledge will be limited and our horizons will be narrowed if we choose to take a position after graduation due to the fact that possessing a bachelor’s degree is to maintain one’s competitiveness. In addition, applying for a job is likely to take up our precious time which can be used for more valuable activities.

Taking all these factors into consideration, we naturally come to the conclusion that we should be prudent and cautious when we face various options after graduation.

Directions：For this part，you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on the challenges of living in a big city. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.

Currently，whether to live in a big city has become a hot topic among people，especially among the young, and heated debates are right on their way. People's opinions about this issue vary from person to person. I consider that living in a big city tends to pose a considerable number of threats to our future.

First and foremost, since the phenomenon of left-behind children has arisen as one of the most fearful social situations, parents are likely to have less family time with their children, which is detrimental to fostering harmonious families. In addition, busy city life is also negative for our mental health. The fierce competition that exists everywhere in big cities is destructive to our relationship with our colleagues, neighbors, and even friends, resulting in our isolation and loneliness.

Taking all these factors into consideration, I solidly consider that we should be prudent and cautious when we consider about the question of whether we should live in big cities.

Directions：For this part，you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on the challenges of studying abroad. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.

There is a widespread concern over the issue that whether studying abroad is a good choice after graduation. People, however, differ in their opinions on this matter. From my personal perspective, I hold that it is advisable for the students to study abroad after graduation.

There are a variety of reasons for studying overseas. On one hand, students can enrich their knowledge and enlarge their horizons by being exposed to new cultures. On the other hand, the students going abroad can cultivate the spirit of self-dependence. In addition, overseas degrees from top universities in the world can provide more competitive advantages for their future careers than those obtained at home.

To make a long story short, it is sensible that we should take a rational attitude when we make a choice. Only in this way can we shoulder the real success.

Visit to Elderly People Brings Them Great Laughter and Joy

Students from the School of Physics took part in a volunteer activity organized by the Student Union to assist elderly people in the neighborhood this weekend, bringing them great laughter and joy.

With the increasing awareness of the aging of population, the whole society sets out to take better care of and show more respect for our senior citizens for their lifelong dedication and commitment to our society. In response to the call, this weekend a group of volunteers went to the local community to communicate with the elderly and help them with some housework. Much pleased at their coming, all the elderly people expressed their sincere thanks for young volunteers' company. In the light of many adult children not being able to visit their aging parents frequently, many old people have to endure loneliness. Thus, what matters most to than is the company and listening attentively is just a good idea.

The Student Union expressed their willingness to sponsor more meaningful activities like this to serve our society with college students' passion and talents.

写作真题

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a letter to a foreign friend who wants to learn Chinese. Please recommend a place to him. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.

参考答案

Dear Mike,

How's everything going? Last time you said you felt inclined to learn Chinese but had no clue where to start. So I'm writing to recommend a place to you -- the Confucius Institute, an established language center aimed to promote Chinese language and culture.

The reasons for my recommendation are as follows. Firstly, this Chinese government-funded educational institute is staffed by the most experienced, professional Chinese teachers, which ensures high-quality instruction. You can turn to them whenever you encounter difficulties in mastering the tones and the characters. Secondly, students there are encouraged to take part in activities ranging from making traditional food to learning clligraphy, as a means of exposing them to the appealing aspects of Chinese culture. Besides, the organization is now widely embraced by more than two million students. That means you aren' t alone as a beginner and will probably forge deep friendships with other learmers.

Learming a language from scratch won't be easy. But I believe you'll find yourself having fun while improving your Chinese proficiency.

Best wishes,

Li Hua

写作真题

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a letter to a foreign friend who wants to teach English in China. Please recommend a city to him. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.

参考答案

Hi Mark,

I'm so glad that you have made up your mind to teach English in China. Before you make a decision about your precise destination, let me introduce my hometown, Chongqing.

Located in southwest China, Chongqing may not enjoy worldwide fame as much as Beijing or Shanghai, but it is a thriving metropolis with lower cost of living. Working and living here, you can achieve your career goals without feeling too much stress. The locals are known for being warm and hospitable, and you can teach in a way that feels good for you. To be sure, teaching a foreign language in a city where residents speak a dialect all the time can be very challenging. It takes time indeed to correct pronunciation mistakes each student makes. But since you are always praised for your kindness and patience, it should hardly be an obstacle for you.

Anyway, I will support and help you as much as possible, whichever city you go to. I believe living and teaching in China will be a pleasant and memorable experience for you.

Best wishes,

Li Ming

Section A

Directions: In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage.

Please mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once.

When travelling overseas, do you buy water in plastic bottles or take your chances with tap water? Imagine you are wandering about on a Thai island or __26__ the ruins of Angkor. It's hot so you grab a bottle of water from a local vendor. It's the safe thing to do, right? The bottle is __27__ , and the label says “pure water”. But maybe what's inside is not so __28__ . Would you still be drinking it if you knew that more than 90 percent of all bottled water sold around the world __29__ microplastics?

That's the conclusion of a recently __30__ study, which analysed 259 bottles from 11 brands sold in nine countries, __31__ an average of 325 plastic particles per litre of water. These microplastics included a __32__ commonly known as PET and widely used in the manufacture of clothing and food and __33__ containers.

Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.

Make Stuff, Fail, And Learn While You're At It

A) We've always been a hands-on, do it-yourself kind of nation. Ben Franklin, one of America's founding fathers, didn't just invent the lightning rod. His creations include glasses, innovative stoves and more.

B) Franklin, who was largely self-taught, may have been a genius, but he wasn't really an exception when it comes to American making and creativity.

C) The personal computing revolution and philosophy of disruptive innovation of Silicon Valley grew, in part, out of the creations of the Homebrew Computer Club, which was founded in a garage in Menlo Park, California, in the mid-1970s. Members-including guys named Jobs and Wozniak-started making and inventing things they couldn't buy.

D) So it's no surprise that the Maker Movement today is thriving in communities and some schools across America. Making is available to ordinary people who aren't tied to big companies, big defense labs or research universities. The maker philosophy echoes old ideas advocated by John Dewey, Montessori, and even ancient Greek philosophers, as we pointed out recently.

E) These maker spaces are often outside of classrooms, and are serving an important educational function. The Maker Movement is rediscovering learning by doing, which is Dewey's phrase from 100 years ago. We are rediscovering Dewey and Montessori and a lot of the practices that they pioneered that have been forgotten or at least put aside. A maker space is a place which can be in a school, but it doesn't look like a classroom. It can be in a library. It can be out in the community. It has tools and materials. It's a place where you get to make things based on your interest and on what you, re learning to do.

F) Ideas about learning by doing have struggled to become mainstream educationally, despite being old concepts from Dewey and Montessori, Plato and Aristotle, and in the American context, Ralph Emerson, on the value of experience and self-reliance. It's not necessarily an efficient way to learn. We learn, in a sense, by trial and error. Learning from experience is something that takes time and patience. It's very individualized. If your goal is to have standardized approaches to learning, where everybody learns the same thing at the same time in the same way, then learning by doing doesn't really fit that mold anymore. It's not the world of textbooks. It's not the world of testing.

G) Learning by doing may not be efficient, but it is effective. Project-based learning has grown in popularity with teachers and administrators. However, project-based learning is not making. Although there is a connection, there is also a distinction. The difference lies in whether the project is in a sense defined and developed by the student or whether it's assigned by a teacher. We'll all get the kids to build a small boat. We are all going to learn about X, Y, and Z. That tends to be one form of project- based learning.

H) I really believe the core idea of making is to have an idea within your head—or you just borrow it from someone—and begin to develop it, repeat it and improve it. Then, realize that idea somehow. That thing that you make is valuable to you and you can share it with others. I'm interested in how these things are expressions of that person, their ideas, and their interactions with the world.

I) In some ways, a lot of forms of making in school trivialize （使变得无足轻重） making. The thing that you make has no value to you. Once you are done demonstrating whatever concept was in the; textbook, you throw away the pipe cleaners, the straws, the cardboard tubes.

J) Making should be student-directed and student-led, otherwise it's boring. It doesn't have the motivation of the student. I'm not saying that students should not learn concepts or not learn skills. They do. But to really harness their motivation is to build upon their interest. It's to let them be in control and to drive the car.

K) Teachers should aim to build a supportive, creative environment for students to do this work. A very social environment, where they are learning from each other. When they have a problem, it isn't the teacher necessarily coming in to solve it. They are responsible for working through that problem. It might be they have to talk to other students in the class to help get an answer.

L) The teacher's role is more of a coach or observer. Sometimes, to people, it sounds like this is a diminished role for teachers. I think it's a heightened role. You're creating this environment, like a maker space. You have 20 kids doing different things. You are watching them and really it's the human behaviors you're looking at. Are they engaged? Are they developing and repeating their project? Are they stumbling （受挫）？ Do they need something that they don't have? Can you help them be aware of where they are?

M) My belief is that the goal of making is not to get every kid to be hands-on, but it enables us to be good learners. It's not the knowledge that is valuable; it's the practice of learning new things and understanding how things work. These are processes that you are developing so that you are able, over time, to tackle more interesting problems, more challenging problems-problems that require many people instead of one person, and many skills instead of one.

N) If teachers keep it form-free and student-led, it can still be tied to a curriculum and an educational plan. I think a maker space is more like a library in that there are multiple subjects and multiple things that you can learn. What seems to be missing in school is how these subjects integrate, how they fit t together in any meaningful way. Rather than saying, “This is science, over here is history,” I see schools taking this idea of projects and looking at: How do they support children in higher level learning?

O) I feel like this is a shift away from a subject matter-based curriculum to a more experiential curriculum or learning. It's still in its early stages, but I think it's shifting around not what kids learn but how they learn.

maker space is where people make things according to their personal interests.

teachers, role is enhanced in a maker space as they have to monitor and facilitate during the process.

up with an idea of one's own or improving one from others is key to the concept of making.

to structured learning, learning by doing is highly individualized.

is a nation known for the idea of making things by oneself.

will be boring unless students are able to take charge.

can be related to a project, but it is created and carried out by students themselves.

author suggests incorporating the idea of a maker space into a school curriculum.

maker concept is a modern version of some ancient philosophical ideas.

is not taken seriously in school when students are asked to make something meaningless to them based on textbooks.

Section C

Directions: In this section, you will hear a passage three times. When the passage is read for the first time，you should listen carefully for its general the passage is read for the second time，you are required to fill in the blanks with the exact words you have just heard. Finally，when the passage is read for the third time，you should check what you have written.

Passage One

Questions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.

Professor Ashok Goel of Georgia Tech developed an artificially intelligent teaching assistant to help handle the enormous number of student questions in the online class, Knowledge-Based Artificial Intelligence. This online course is a core requirement of Georgia Tech's online Master of Science in Computer Science program. Professor Goel already had eight teaching assistants, but that wasn't enough to deal with the overwhelming number of daily questions from students.

Many students drop out of online courses because of the lack of teaching support. When students feel isolated or confused and reach out with questions that go unanswered, their motivation to continue begins to fade. Professor Goel decided to do something to remedy this situation and his solution was to create a virtual assistant named Jill Watson, which is based on the IBM Watson platform.

Goel and his team developed several versions of Jill Watson before releasing her to the online forums. At first, the virtual assistant wasn't too great. But Goel and his team sourced the online discussion forum to find all the 40,000 questions that had ever been asked since the class was launched. Then they began to feed Jill with the questions and answers. After some adjustments and sufficient time, Jill was able to answer the students' questions correctly 97% of the time. The virtual assistant became so advanced and realistic that the students didn't know she was a computer. The students, who were studying artificial intelligence, were interacting with the virtual assistant and couldn't tell it apart from a real human being. Goel didn't inform them about Jill's true identity until April 26. The students were actually very positive about the experience.

The goal of Professor Goel's virtual assistant next year is to take over answering 40% of all the questions posed by students on the online forum. The name Jill Watson will, of course, change to something else next semester. Professor Goel has a much rosier outlook on the future of artificial intelligence than, say, Elon Musk, Stephen Hawking, Bill Gates or Steve Wozniak.

46. What do we lear about Knowledge-Based Arificial Itelligence?

A) It is a robot that can answer students' questions.

B) It is a course designed for students to leamn online.

C) It is a high-tech device that revolutionizes teaching.

D) It is a computer program that aids student leaming.

47. What problem did Professor Goel meet with?

A) His students were unsatisfied with the assistants.

B) His course was too difficult for the students.

C) Students' questions were too many to handle.

D) Too many students dropped out of his course.

48. What do we lear about Jill Watson?

A) She turned out to be a great sucess.

B) She got along pretty well with students.

C) She was unwelcome to students at first.

D) She was released online as an experiment.

49. How did the students feel about Jill Watson?

A) They thought she was a bit too artificial.

B) They found her not as capable as expected.

C) They could not but admire her knowledge.

D) They could not tell her from a real person.

50. What does Professor Goel plan to do next with Jill Watson?

A) Launch different versions of her online.

B) Feed her with new questions and answers.

C) Assign her to answer more of students' questions.

D) Encourage students to interact with her more freely.

Passage Two

Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.

Thinking small, being engaging, and having a sense of humor don't hurt. Those are a few of the traits of successful science crowdfunding efforts that emerge from a recent study that examined nearly 400 campaigns. But having a large network and some promotional skills may be more crucial.

Crowdfunding, raising money for a project through online appeals, has taken off in recent years for everything from making movies to producing water-saving gadgets. Scientists have tried to tap Internet donors, too, with mixed success. Some raised more than twice their goals, but others have fallen short of reaching even modest targets.

To determine what separates science crowdfunding triumphs from failures, a team led by science communications scholar Mike Sch?fer of the University of Zurich examined the content of the webpages for 371 recent campaigns.

Four traits stood out for those that achieved their goals, the researchers report in Public Understanding of Science. For one, they use a crowdfunding platform that specializes in raising money for science, and not just any kind of project. Although sites like Kickstarter take all comers, platforms such as and only present scientific projects. For another, they present the project with a funny video because good visuals and a sense of humor improved success. Most of them engage with potential donors, since projects that answered questions from interested donors fared better. And they target a small amount of money. The projects included in the study raised $4,000 on average, with 30% receiving less than $1,000. The more money a project sought, the lower the chance it reached its goal, the researchers found.

Other factors may also significantly influence a project's success, most notably, the size of a scientist's personal and professional networks, and how much a researcher promotes a project on their own. Those two factors are by far more critical than the content on the page. Crowdfunding can be part of researchers' efforts to reach the public, and people give because “they feel a connection to the person” who is doing the fundraising—not necessarily to the science.

51. What do we learn about the scientists trying to raise money online for their projects?

A) They did not raise much due to modest targets.

B) They made use of mixed fundraising strategies.

C) Not all of them achieved their anticipated goals.

D) Most of them put movies online for the purpose.

53. What trait contributes to the success of a crowdfiunding campaign?

A) The potential benefit to future generations.

B) Its interaction with prospective donors.

C) Its originality in addressing financial issues.

D) The value of the proposed project.

54. What did the researchers think of the financial targets of crowdfunding projects?

A) They should be small to be sucessful.

B) They should be based on actual needs.

55. What motivates people to donate in a crowdfunding campaign?

中国家庭十分重视孩子的教育。许多父母认为应该努力工作，确保孩子受到良好教育。他们不仅非常情愿为孩子的教育投资，而且花很多时间督促他们学习。多数家长希望孩子能上名牌大学。由于改革开放，越来越多的家长能送孩子到国外学习或参与国际交流项目，以拓宽其视野。通过这些努力，他们期望孩子健康成长，为国家的发展和繁荣作出贡献。

Part Ⅰ Writing

Hi Mark,

I'm so glad that you have made up your mind to teach English in China. Before you make a decision about your precise destination, let me introduce my hometown, Chongqing.

Located in southwest China, Chongqing may not enjoy worldwide fame as much as Beijing or Shanghai, but it is a thriving metropolis with lower cost of living. Working and living here, you can achieve your career goals without feeling too much stress. The locals are known for being warm and hospitable, and you can teach in a way that feels good for you. To be sure, teaching a foreign language in a city where residents speak a dialect all the time can be very challenging. It takes time indeed to correct pronunciation mistakes each student makes. But since you are always praised for your kindness and patience, it should hardly be an obstacle for you.

Anyway, I will support and help you as much as possible, whichever city you go to. I believe living and teaching in China will be a pleasant and memorable experience for you.

Best wishes,

Li Ming

Chinese families attach great importance to their children's education. Many parents hold that they should work hard to ensure their children's access to good education. Not only are they perfectly willing to invest in their children's education, but they also spend much time urging them to study. Most parents expect their children to get admitted to elite universities. Owing to China s reform and opening-up, an increasing number of parents can send their children to study abroad or participate in international exchange programs to broaden their horizons. Through these efforts, they expect their children grow up strong and healthy and make a contribution to the nation's development and prosperity.

Nowadays,the overwhelming influence of advertisements on media has made too many controversial social people argue that advertisements make the audience have the similar look by driving them to buy products of the same fundamentally agree with this assertion,and my reasons will be explored as below.

Admittedly,the literal intention of advertisements is to sharpen the concept of the purpose of distinguishing brand names,slogans and testimonials in advertisement are always full of very personalized words,including _new_,_innovation_,_uniqueness_,_revolution_,_the best_,_the only_,_the first_.It is clear that core values of these words bring people a motivation to change,and a desire to try something gap between people can be broadened,because any individual is stimulated by advertisements to express their personalities by buy different items,instead of following common tastes.

However,when considering practical effects of advertisements on the society,I strongly believe they play a role of depersonalizing the audience,and the first reason is that commercials are the key tool for big companies to monopolize the hand,many big companies invest billions of dollars annually in making fascinating and prepossessing advertisements to attract the public,which consistently maintains the loyalty of patrons,and cultivate good impressions of potential customers on their the other hand,small companies have too limited financial ability to afford these costly publicity campaigns,so that their names and influences continue to fade and lose consumer is to say,advertisements,an expensive privilege only for rich and big companies,help these companies exclusively occupy the market,as well as reducing the diversity of this situation,people definitely look the same,because they have no other options but buy the same-brand food,clothes and devices produced by a dominating company.

Another reason supporting this assertion lies on the fact that exposure to advertisements standardizes thoughts and tastes among audiences,especially in terms of their typical example comes from fashion,cosmetic and shampoo commercials which highlight the close-up of images of certain model or is a strong brainwash by im*ing that images of these actors are common standards of human beauty,and then triggering massive public imitation shows round by too many cases,large groups of hypnotized people,regardless of ages,careers and races,blindly follow and chase so-called iconic figures in an advertisement,mainly through buying and using the same lipstick and perfume,wearing same clothes,watch,ornaments and bag,even copying the same hair style.

In conclusion,I believe the main social influence of advertisements is to make people have the similar images slogans of advertisements tend to individualize the audience,the truth is that advertisements not only let big companies rule the market solely,but also manipulate the public’s minds to buy the same things.

When it comes to a course that leaves the deepest impression in university, different people stand on different grounds. As for me, the most impressive course in college is “Appreciation of English Movies”, which I like best. I prefer this curriculum to others owing to the following factors.

On one hand, the professor in charge of this course has impressed me most because she is not only knowledgeable but also patient. More importantly, it is this respectable teacher who spurs my interest to English harder and broadens my horizon as well. Until now, what she said in the class often occurs to my mind. On the other hand, there are many discussions in the classroom when we have lessons. We are allowed to talk freely about a movie, the topic ranging from the theme of a film to its casting. So, during the talk, we become increasingly open-minded. And undoubtedly a brain open to everything carries great importance to study, work and life.

Generally speaking, the course on appreciating English films has impressed me most for it is not only instructive but also entertaining. And therefore, I suggest that more similar courses should be offered in the university.

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay commenting on the remark ““Nowadays People Are Selfish and Greedy. ”Do You Agree or Disagree with This Point of View?”. You may cite some examples to support your view. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.

Selfish and Greedy

There is no doubt that some people are selfish and greedy. For example,some merchants sell their fake commodities at the market place for more profit. They are rich and want to be richer. There are also government officials who sell people's trust. Senior officials who take bribes by selling the power in their hands are not a few. Those people believe in the precept “Everyone for himself and the devil take the hind most.”

However, the majority of people are neither selfish nor greedy. They contribute much and ask for little. Countless examples can be found around us, the PLA soldiers who sacrificed themselves for saving people's lives in fighting the disastrous floods and the warriors in white who risked their lives to save SARS victims being two of the most typical contrast to the selfish and corrupt official they are heroes, who set up glorious images for us.

The idea that nowadays people are selfish and greedy is probably attributed to the influence of the mass media which tend to over exaggerate the negative aspects of life. Many newspapers, particularly many local evening papers, and TV films play up nastiness by reporting and showing too much about violence and sex. A lot of books, too, portray selfishness and greed to seek sensational effect and economic profit. I wonder whether they are selfish and greedy, too?

Dormitory life is an indispensable part of college life. But sometimes the harmony in the dormitory can be disturbed in one way or another.

As is known to all, a harmonious dormitory life is important to college students and benefits all the members. On one hand, we can have a good rest and put our heart into study. On the other hand, we will have a good mood and enjoy being together.

There are several ways to create and maintain a harmonious dormitory life. Firstly, you have to evaluate your life-style and try to get rid of your dirty habits, if there are any. Secondly, when an annoying situation arises, you’ll just have to learn to tolerate each other and co-exist. Thirdly, you’ll have to share with each other and make good friends.

In conclusion, we should try our best to build a harmonious dormitory life for the sake of good study and good life.

Conspicuous are the impacts of being creative and I would like to explore the following aspects。 To begin with， it is to leading a team to make constant progress what water is to fish， which can be best illustrated by an example concerning an extraordinary basketball player， Yao Ming。 Moreover， this kind of innovation also makes it possible for a nation to promote its international status and improve the comprehensive competitiveness。

There are many advantages to having a pet. For example, taking care of a pet can teach people responsibility, which is new to many university students. In addition, pets can keep people company and are well-known for making people happy.

While there are many reasons for having a pet, keeping one illegally in the dorms can be problematic. First of all, some students may be allergic to pets. Secondly, some dorm mates may not care for the way the pet smells. Thirdly, many pets are loud and may disturb the other residents in your dorm or hall.

For many universities, students keeping pets in the dormitories is against the rules. Despite this, some students choose to have a pet at university. However, I don't believe that it's a good idea to keep a pet in the dormitories.

Recently years,with the rapid development in our country,more and more people own their private people think that private cars should be restricted,while others think that private cars should be far as I concern,I think owning a private car has both advantages and disadvantages.

On one hand,private cars do bring the owners convenience and you have a car,you don’t need to take the bus or subway to can image how crowded and slow when you get on a bus, especially during the rush your own car,you just don’t need to worry about this ’s more,you can go to any places at any moment with your private by car is very comfortable and can stop as you pleased and don’t need to worry about others guess this is the biggest advantages of private cars.

On the other hand,the disadvantages of private cars are noises that produce by cars are unbearable,the exhaust gas that cars give off are bad for people’s countless cars on the street, people find it becomes harder to find a parking ’s worse,tens of thousands people are killed or injured in the traffic accidents.

To sum up,private cars provide us with convenience as well as harm. Whether or not afford a private car depends on personal details.

最近几年，随着我国经济的快速发展，越来越多的人们拥有私家车。一些人认为应该禁止私家车，而一些人认为对其应该鼓励。就我看来，私家车有利有弊。

一方面，私家车给车主们提供了方便和舒适。如果你有了车，就不用搭乘公车或者挤地铁上班了。你可以想象在上下班高峰期公车上是多么的拥挤，速度是多么的慢。有了车，你就不必担心这个问题了。更棒的是，你随时可以开着你的车到任何地方去。开着私家车去旅游方便又灵活。你想停就停，不用担心其他乘客的感受。我想，这就是私家车最大的好处吧。

另一方面，私家车的缺点也显而易见。车子发出的噪音难以忍受，排出的尾气也对人的身体有害。不计其数的.车涌入街头，人们发现找位置停车比以前困难多了。更为糟糕的是，成千上万的人死于或者在**中受伤。

总的来说，私家车带给我们方便的同时，也带来了伤害。至于是不是要购买私家车，取决于个人情况。

Computers in students‘ flats are a catch word on campus. An increasing number of students can afford or hire computers. They appreciate a chance to learn about computers from the comfort of their own flats, without the embarrassment or shyness of going into a computer hall and feeling not educated.

The world is changing with a speed like never before, and students feel that computers are playing an important role in that change. They agree that they must have computer skills to survive in today‘s world. They get on board, cease to be computer illiterate on the information highway. No student should enter the future without being computer literate.

While students take giant steps to catch up on the information superhighway, they should be alerted to problems of buying or renting computers. Playing games or surfing aimlessly on the Internet will do much harm. Otherwise, any attempt to learn computer will end up as nothing but an empty dream.

Example：

As is graphicallydepicted in the cartoon, modern life has been dominated bycomputers. No matter the young man is in the office, at home, andin his spare time, the only friend he has is a computer. Even whenhe sleeps, what is in his dream is still the computer. Apparently,the cartoon aims to reveal the fact that the computer has begun toplay a negative role in the modern life.

第一段三句话，第一句大体描写，第二句细节描写，第三句话揭示图画目的。

The reasons whymodern people are tied up with computers are as follows. To beginwith, they have become increasingly busier in making money;therefore, they need a quick way to outlet their pressure andexhaustion and computer is their ideal companion. Moreover,computers can assist people to deal with complicated working stuff,make friends, and entertain themselves because they have becomegrowingly powerful and everything else is linked with them. Forinstance, two decades ago, computers were far from popular andpeople used them to to practice typing letters and do basic , with the Internet becoming pervasive, computers haveintegrated music, films, shopping, and everything we like intotheir worlds. Now, when we power on the all-mighty computers, whatwe want is out there for us.

第二段：中心句+两原因+一例子，原因句型先果后因和先因后果，思路是攻受各一个。

To sum up, thislifestyle is absolutely imperfect. In order to lead a healthy life,we are supposed to do more exercises and expose ourselves to thetangible world. Meanwhile, it is about time that we powered thecomputer off and talked with our friends and familily in these ways will modern life become more beautiful for youand me.

As is known to all, dormitory life is a part of colorful college life, and the problem of dormitory harmony annoys many college students.

As a member of a dormitory, we should do our best to promote the harmony of dormitory. There are several ways to create and maintain a harmonious dormitory life. Firstly, we have to evaluate our life style and try to get rid of our dirty habits. Secondly, when an annoying situation arises, we will have to tolerate each other and co-exist, or we can give the other some gentle advice if the situation affects our regular life. Thirdly, we can share our happiness or sorrows with each other and treat our roommates as our friends. We will more or less get into some trouble in college, and roommates are like our relatives to help us.

Therefore, it needs all members’ endeavor in dormitory to build a harmonious dormitory life.

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on the topic Children’s participation in reality shows. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.

Children’s participation in reality shows

Nowadays, it has become a trend for children to participate in reality shows. However, is it really good for them?

There are two sides for each coin. On one hand, participating in reality shows is good for children. First, it can make children more courageous and more confident. Second, some shows such as outdoor shows can make children more independent. For example, in some shows, children are required to accomplish some tasks without their parents accompanying them. That is a good way to train the children.

On the other hand, children’s participation in reality shows may cause some disadvantages to them. For instance, children may become vainglorious if they win some fame from the shows. They may tend to pay more attention to undeserved reputation instead of studying hard. They may overlook the importance of working hard.

As a result, you really need to think carefully before you take your children to reality shows. I personally feel that these shows make the children grow up too fast. Why not just let them be children?

Directions: From this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay about a camp activity that has benefited you most. You should state the reasons and write at least 120 words but more than 180 words.

As a college student, it is full of meaning to participate in various camps which are beneficial for us. Among the camps I involved before, the English Summer camp held by our university with a small group of Chinese college students as well as some friends from English Spoken countries made me the most impressive.

There are two factors for my belief. For one thing, I expanded my scope of knowledge for the lecture made by a professor of the Harvard University. Though I have been learning English for almost ten years, getting knowledge from foreign teachers can still be something inspiring. I really want to know about current English countries’ culture, such as education, economy, politics and so on. In this way I could know more about the world and it would help me make right decisions when I graduate from university whether going abroad for further study or not. And it would also help me understand more about our own country. The second reason for me is that the activities also changed me a lot, including English corner, English drama play, interesting knowledge competition and the like. Undisputedly, all these activities can not only help us learn more skills but improve our English.

In conclusion, it was my great pleasure to take part in this activity. I do believe that other kinds of outdoor activities would bring us a lot of advantages, so I would make effort to participate in such activities in the remaining years of my college study.

英语专业四级作文真题范文 第29篇

For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay commenting on the saying “Never go out there to see what happens, go out there to makes something happen” You can cite examples to illustrate the importance of being creative rather than mere onlookers in life. You should write at least 120 words, no more than 180 words.

Example：

While we often hear some people say that they have great plans and fantastic dreams, they seldom put their plans into reality. These people are the talker not the actor. However, it is the actor not the talker who can achieve the goal.

Rome was not built in one day. We should realize our dream step by step. Although one day’s improvement is little, it can finally become tremendous, so we should not look down upon the trival things. Take study for example, those who stand out in the class are often not the smart ones who ignore everyday actions but the ones who are deligent and devide their dreams into everyday’s action.

Therefore, go out there to see what happens, and go out there to make something happen. Only when you go out to act everyday can you make your dreams come true.

Example：

The Impact of Mobile Phone Use on Education

The presented picture reflects a common trend in the way people are educated nowadays. In this picture, the mother is going to walk her son to school. But according to the son, he doesn’t really need to go to school since the phone in his hand already knows everything. The picture reveals the impact of mobile phone use on education.

Can mobile phone replace traditional class in school? I don’t think so. First of all, students can develop their own way and habit of learning under the guidance of the teachers, which can benefit their life-long learning. Secondly, every subject of education in school is systematic, such as Chinese, mathematics, science and philosophy. Education should not be considered as information fragments that we randomly collect on the mobile phones. Last but not least, students can have exact face-to-face communication with their teachers and classmates, which will help to cultivate their communicative abilities.

In conclusion, mobile phone use is a convenient way of obtaining information, but it is still necessary that we attend school to get formal education.

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay commenting on the saying “The beautiful thing about learning is that nobody can take that away from you.” You can cite examples to illustrate the beauty and features of knowledge. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.

The Beauty of Knowledge

Praise of knowledge has never come to an end since ancient times. Apparently, knowledge is a treasure that everybody volunteers to possess and much of success could be attributed to it directly or indirectly.

As far as I am concerned, the beauty of knowledge can be explained in three aspects.

Firstly, knowledge is open to all human beings. People can learn whatever they wish in one way or another. Secondly, knowledge learnt can be reflected in one's later life, so that one knows how to savor the present moment in peaceful times and how to deal with problems in difficult times. Last but not least, one of the most prominent features of knowledge is that one carries it throughout his life. Even if one loses a large fortune, he will never be a beggar if he already knows how to make money.

To sum up, knowledge is of great importance in one's lifetime. It is advisable that one should learn the beauty of knowledge and enjoy the process of learning.

Her friend, Pat, a divorced mother of three, is struggling to make endsmeet. “We are both frequent theatergoers,” Aaron explains, “andI'll gladly pay for two tickets, just to have Pat's company at plays andconcerts. But she won't go anywhere unless she can pay her own way. I hate togo alone. So we both stay home. It all seems so silly.” Pat sees thesituation differently. After an unhappy marriage to a man who tried to controlher without considering her wishes and feelings, she says, “It's very importantto me to carry my own weight. I'm not comfortable in any relationship where allI do is take.”

The difficult situation finally changed when Aaron moved recently. Pat's childrenwere with their father, so she took a picnic lunch to her friend's new place,and then spent the day helping her unpack and get settled. “I was sograteful,” Aaron says, “but I persuaded Pat to let me return thefavor in my own way with season tickets to our little theater group.

It makesall the decisions that affect the school, including rules, the timetable andaccepting or rejecting new students and teachers. Participating in thesemeetings gives the children an understanding of democratic decision-making andhelps them develop their skills of argument and persuasion. The most importantadvantage of the school meeting is that it shows the children that the schoolis really theirs. They have the right to decide on changes. And the school'ssuccess or failure depends on their decisions and their behavior. Sun Schoolemploys no cooking or cleaning staff, these jobs are done by the students andteachers.

Well, to continue, as I mentionedearlier, there is also research that demonstrates that individuals performworse, not better on tasks when other people are there. did aninteresting experiment. He had his subjects learn a finger maze. This is a gamein which you indicate with your finger the way through a complex system ofpassages or paths. The subjects who had an audience did worse than the subjectswho did alone.

Nowhow can we explain these very different results? It seemed very confusing for along time. Social psychologist John Roberts finally cleared up the confusionabout why people sometimes perform better and sometimes worse in front of anaudience. Roberts found that the presence of an audience facilitates what youalready know how to do. That is, if you know what you are doing, having anaudience helps you do it better. But if you don’t already know how to dosomething, you will probably make some mistakes and you will make mistakes fora longer time if you have an audience. That’s exactly what happened to thesubjects who were learning the finger maze.

Soif you are doing well, having an audience increases the chances that you willcontinue to do well. If you are doing badly, having an audience seem increasesthe chances that you will continue to do badly. Roberts cleverly pointed outthat when you are first learning something, you are better off working alonethan practicing with other people.

Question 33 to 35 are based on the passageyou have just heard.

33. What did the speaker probablydiscuss before coming to this part of the talk?

34. When does the presence of anaudience facilitate your performance according to Roberts?

英语专业四级作文真题范文 第33篇

Example：

There are several possible reasons accountable for this phenomenon(中心句). To begin with, family in growing numbers has only one child; therefore, parents oftentimes focus all their attentions on that child and exert much pressure on him or her(原因一). Moreover, numerous parents intend to realize their unfulfilled dreams by letting their children learn what they failed to learn and apply for the college by which they failed to be accepted, because they have become richer and they believe that they have the power to make what they wanted and want come true now(原因二). For instance, my uncle used to be a poor man and his dream that one day he would become a violinist was broken because of lack of money. But he made a fortune by selling coals, and then forced his son, my younger brother to practice playing violin. My brother was a huge fan of sports, but now he has to play violin everyday unwillingly and ofter quarrels with their parents(举例：原来-然后-结局).

To sum up, it is unreasonable for parents to control their children’s life(总结句). In order to help them grow happily and healthily, parents are supposed to communicate with their kids about what they are really interested in(建议一，目的句型). Meanwhile, it is about time that parents let their kids make their own choices(建议二，“是时候”句型).

Dormitory life is a new experience for some university students who have never lived far away from their parents before. For example, they must depend on themselves to get up in the morning on time for class and to set aside an appropriate amount of time for study and relaxation.

Some people believe there are more advantages about dormitory life. In a dormitory, on the one hand, students have more chances to communicate with and learn from each other. On the other hand, students have a great deal more freedom than they might have at home. They can act according to their own will rather than to that of parents'. But some others disagree. They think dormitory rooms are often small and crowded. This lack of space can limit one's privacy and make it difficult for students to be engaged in their studies.

In general, there are both sunshine and shadow about life in student dormitory. Whether they like it or not, most students have to face the reality of living with others. (173 words)

命题解析

本题要求首先描述图画，然后评论家长在其孩子成长中的作用。图中显示：一位女儿兴高采烈地告诉母亲：“妈妈，好消息!我被您选择的大学录取了。”显而易见，本题的主旨是：父母为子女做出了太多的决定，造成子女缺乏独立。

关于两代关系这一话题，国内写作考试已经多次考察。考研(课程)写作考察图画作文“温室花朵经不起风雨”，即父母溺爱造成子女缺乏独立。12月，四级写作考察“父母如何让孩子独立”。如果之前研究过以上真题，本题易如反掌。

写作思路：

1、本文首段应简要描述图画，指出有些父母过于包办造成子女缺乏独立。

2、次段写法比较灵活，可以具体分析父母过于包办的原因，也可以进行举例论证。

3、尾段最好提出建议措施，呼吁父母放手给孩子自由，而子女应努力寻求独立。

参考范文：

The drawing vividly reflects a daughter is chatting with her mother in their house. The eyes sparkling with delight, the daughter tells her mother, “Good news mom! I was accepted to the college of your choice.” Obviously, the implication of the portrayal is that the daughter is lack of independence due to her mother’s doting care.

The lovely daughter is naturally associated with the only children in our current society; the college of the mother’s choice epitomizes parents’ doting care and abundant material supplies that can shield the children from the harsh reality. Once the young people begin to seek independence and accept challenges from the real world, they are found too spoiled to be strong enough in the face of difficulties.

Accordingly, it is vital for us to derive positive implications from the thought-provoking drawing. On the one hand, we can frequently use it to enlighten the youth to be more independent in life. On the other hand, parents should be sensible enough to give their children more freedom to deal with troubles and problems.

这幅漫画生动地揭示了一个女儿正在家中和她的母亲聊天。眼中兴奋地闪着光芒，女儿告诉母亲：“妈妈，好消息!我被您选择的那所大学录取了。”显而易见，这幅漫画的含义就是由于母亲的溺爱，女儿缺乏独立。

这个女儿自然和当代社会的独生子女联系起来;母亲选择的大学就是保护孩子免于严峻现实的父母溺爱和优越物质条件的缩影。一旦年轻人开始寻求独立并且接受来自现实世界的挑战，人们发现他们已经被惯坏了，在困难面前无法足够坚强。

总之，我们很有必要从这幅发人深思的图画中得出积极的含义。一方面，我们可以经常利用它来启发年轻人在生活中更加独立。另一方面，父母们应该充满理智给孩子们更多自由来处理困难和问题。

本题要求首先简要描述图画，然后评论这个孩子对上学的理解。图画显示：一个小孩问母亲：如果我的手机已经知道一切，为什么我还要上学呢?显而易见，本题主旨为手机是否可以取代上学。

写作思路：

1、本题首段应简要描述图画，指出当代有些年轻人认为手机可以取代上学。

2、次段最好进行正反论证，说明手机虽然可以帮助获得大量信息，但无法取代教育，教育绝非仅仅是获取信息。

3、第三段最好提出建议措施：我们应该合理使用手机，同时学校教育必不可少、不可或缺。

参考范文：

It is subtly revealed in the portrayal that a young boy is talking with his mother in their house. The boy asks confusingly, “Why am I going to school if my phone already knows everything?”

We often hear of successful people who are largely “self-taught”. I say largely because, in all cases, they have received some formal teaching, whether it was from a teacher in a classroom, or from parents or a relative at home. In my case, I am glad I always learned from teachers, from fist grade all the way through my Master’s degree. A good teacher adds considerably to the materials contained in the textbooks.

In conclusion, it takes a great deal of self-discipline to learn a subject via mobile phones with only self-study, having no guidance or instruction from a teacher. A skilled and talented teacher can add so much richness to what is being learned. I believe it is always better to have a teacher to some degree.

如图所示，一个小孩正在家中和他的母亲谈话。这个男孩疑惑地问：“如果我的手机已经知道一切了，我为什么还要去上学呢?”

我们常听人说某某成功人士多半靠“自学”成才。 之所以说“多半”是因为所有的成功人士都曾接受过正规教育，有的是在教室里听老师讲课，有的是在家里由父母或亲属给上课。拿我来说，我很庆幸从大一一直到硕士研究生毕业我都在跟着老师学。一位好的老师可以教给你许多课本材料以外的东西。

总之，在没有老师指点的情况下，通过手机自学一门学科需要严格的自律。而一位经验丰富且有才华的教师能教给你许多书本知识以外的东西。所以我想，在某种程度上，有老师教总归更好。
