四、六级改革后,作文出题方式基本沿袭以往稳健、成熟的出题风格。以下给大家讲述一下作文应试的战略性理论以及得分技巧即战术操作。

博弈

写作考试就好像一次“博弈”。在写作考试中,考生是真正拥有最多信息的人,考官仅仅只能被动地接受你所给的信息。所以,作文中遣词造句时请切记两点:一、“不会说的”处理;二、经典句的应用

得分技巧分析

四、六级作文在准备和对策上基本一致,因为两者评分标准基本一致(除了字数上的差距:四级120词、六级150词)。英语考试的作文大多可分为:1、正反论证;2、原因现象描述类;3、图表;4、名言谚语。所谓的书信作文,无非就是在这四类的基础上,套用信件的格式而已。

作文得分技巧总结:

1、卷面整洁,书写清楚

2、构思简单,少犯错误

3、中心突出,层次分明

4、固定经典,名言注目

5、重在变化,宁简勿滥

下面就对以上5点在应试作文中的应用展开具体说明:

第一、卷面整洁,书写清楚。由于写作属于主观题型,故考官将依据主观印象进行评判。卷面的好坏将在第一时间冲击考官对你作文的印象。所以,建议各位考生

先想清楚后动笔,减少涂改几率,让考官能清楚无误地看清你答卷的内容。另

外,新的四、六级考试中会有部分考区的试卷被扫描至电脑,这些考区的考官

将会在电脑前批阅作文,因此考生们最好使用黑色水笔做答,以保证扫描效果。

写作的格式有两种:齐头式(full block form)和缩进式(indented form)。采用齐头

式,要求所有段落的首行都在左边顶格,段落中间空行。缩进式要求每段首行

缩进4~5个字母。

第二、构思简单,少犯错误。请大家一定记住,作文只在考核他们的语言表达能力。

避免犯错误。

(思维。标点,时态一致,单复数,结构。6分原则。写完后的检查)第三、中心突出,层次分明。从近几年的四级考试作文看来,尽管实用性提高了,但行文大多可以套用“中心句+1、2、3”模式。即每段第一句是topic sentence,

改编自该段相对应的提纲,后面的1、2、3是衔接词,每个1、2、3后接分支

观点。这种表达,中心突出,层次分明,同时也节省了考生构思结构的麻烦。

衔接词是文章逻辑关系的体现,所以不妨尽可能多的使用。比如,“起”的过渡

词:nowadays, at present, first of all, firstly;“承”的过渡词:second, besides,

moreover, furthermore, obviously, in addition, in other words;“转”的过渡词:

however, on the other hand, but, instead, conversely;“合”的过渡词:therefore, so,

as a result, in short, in brief, in a word, in conclusion。

以下为2006年6月新四级作文题及其范文。划线部分与斜体部分则体现了第三点所讲的全部内容。提纲如下:

1、有些大学允许学生自由选择某些课程的任课老师

2、学生选择老师时所考虑的主要因素是……

3、学生自选任课老师的益处及可能产生的问题

Nowadays, there is a general discussion today about the issue of some changes on campus. Particularly, students in universities have optional choices on their teachers.

A number of factors are responsible for decisions in choosing teachers. For one thing, the character of a lecturer plays a significant role in this issue, which means the teacher should meet the learners’ taste. For another thing, opinions from other students are likely to bring effects on the decision. In other words,we are possibly influenced by negative or positive words from others.

Obviously, there is no consensus of opinions among people as to the view of this matter. On the one hand, students are treated better than before. On the other hand, some top teachers will be ignored, if they are not able to please the market. From what has been discussed above, we may safely draw the conclusion that further attention will be paid to this matter.

第四、固定经典,名言注目。经典句和名言往往都比较容易引人注目,如果能在文中使用,也比较容易让改卷人为之一振。为了获得经典的使用效果,建议考生们

在平时的写作练习中注意积累,并且每个话题背下几句。质量良好的句子一般

应该用在文章的开头结尾,或每段的开头,这样才能让别人清楚明白地看到。

比如,用于文章开头的句子:

1、When it comes to …, people’s opinions differ.

2、There is a public discussion today about ……

3、There is no consensus of opinions among people as to the view of

用于文章结尾的句子:

1、it is high time that we take measures to …

2、judging from all evidence offered, we may safely come to the conclusion that …

3、all the evidence points to the fact that …

4、It is essential that effective measures should be taken to control this situation.

用于阐释原因的句子:

1、Some reasons are responsible for this.

2、There are lots of reasons for the dramatic growth/decrease. First, … Second, …

Finally, …

3、The phenomenon/change in … mainly results from the fact that …

4、One may regard the phenomenon as a sign of …

第五、重在变化,宁简勿滥。作文考试评卷中,大多采用加分原则。“难词长句”不是加分的必然。关键在于变化,变化不分难易,只要有变化就行。变化分为,

词的变化和句的变化。在用词上,同一文章中相同意义的词要争取不断地用近

意词替换,以显文章用词灵活。(换词和短语)在用句上,不一定要用大的从句,

主要避免相邻句子句式太多的一致。(变句模式)

备考忌讳

第一、忌讳盲目。盲目相信所谓“秘宗”或“内部透露试卷”,四、六级考试是科学性较高的国内英文考试,在日益提高安全性的前提下,漏题的机会几乎没有。第二、忌讳只看不练。只看题目或只构思,而不动手练习。四、六级考试的作文部分是考查学生对英语的主动应用能力,所以考生至少在考前一个月应该动手练习,主要以历年真题的写作题目为复习资料,写完之后自己再对照范文进行修改,记下范文中的经典句子及衔接词,以备考场上使用。

六级05年1月试卷评析

05年1月Your Help Needed

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an open letter on behalf of the student union asking people to give help to a student who is seriously ill. You should write at least 150 words following the outline given below:

1,对病人的简单介绍:目前的病情和家庭情况

2,目前的困难:无法继续承担医疗费用,需要护理

3,希望捐助,联系方式

本次作文英文指令要求提到的病人是大学生,写信人应代表学生会写一封公开信。如未能按照此要求写作,应酌情扣1分。

题目类型

原因现象描述类文章。表面上看,这是信,但就其实质上说,还是以前的老题型,给出2~3个提纲,要求按照提纲所示内容完成作文。

应注意的事项

一、要强调的一点,本次作文,除了提纲外,还应该在文中表明两个要素――1、病人大学

生;2、写信人代表学生会。这次考试中有不少学生只注意了前面所列出的三项要求,而忽略了后面的这两个要求。

二、此类文章的构思。四六级作文旨在考查学生的英语基本表达能力,而非逻辑思维和分析

能力,因为这是语言考试。所以,广大考生也就没有必要对具体内容的合理性去严谨推敲。

三、结构安排。原因现象描述类文章的最佳安排方法是,把提纲变为英文体现在每段第一句

作为中心句,后面再用逻辑词或链接词把每段内的分支观点窜成一篇文章。

第一段要求讲出病人的病情和家庭情况。另外,这是信,所以要在前面加上称呼。作为文章的开头段,应该简要介绍就行,这样也可以避免详细描述。因为大多考生语言基础不足以支撑详细的细节描述。

第二段原因列举表述段。用提纲变来的用中心句统领全段,之后讲出几个不同的困难。困难很容易列出,如钱不够,家庭条件差,要人看护等显而易见且简单的原因。

第三段呼吁捐助和列出联系方法。当然在行文中号召的语言是需要的,同时在结尾处要标明自己是代表学生会提出这个请求。

14分

Dear friends,

I’m writing to you, on behalf of the student union, to ask for help for our schoolmate, Li Ming. He’s seriously ill and has to have a lung transplant at once. To make things worse, he comes from the west of our country, which means that his family is quite poor.

Li Ming is now confronted with the following difficulties. To begin with, he can’t afford the medical expenses. His family doesn’t have a good financial background and moreover, his parents have already borrowed a lot of money to send him to university. In view of their low income and severe financial situation, we hope you can show our sympathy. In addition, his family is far away and he needs someone to take care of him day and night instead of his parents who are thousands of miles from here. Only under careful care can our friend recover from his disease.

On no account can we see our friend suffer without giving him a hand! He’s in desperate need of your help, especially in financial donations to help pay his expenses. Anyone who wants to offer help can contact us at 55780063 or you can email us by john@https://www.doczj.com/doc/2c16564595.html,. Please!

Yours,

John

Chairman of the Student Union

本文特点

第一段,作者开门见山,直接把最后两个要素在第一段就标明,即生病的是学生,要代表学生会――“on behalf of the student union, to ask for help for our schoolmate”。

然后,用两句话就说清病情和家庭情况。并且用了一个较少能见的链接短语“To

make things worse”。

第二段,列举困难直接把中心句放在段首,本段的基本结构可以这样认为:“Li Ming is now confronted with the following difficulties.”+“To begin with”+“moreover”

+“In addition”。并且,使用比较地道的短语be confronted with. 一般来说,短

语优先原则是一个比较好的策略。本段中,尽管作者很少使用从句,但并列句

和短语的使用是较多的,“a lot of,In view of,far away,take care of,recover from”。第三段,首尾属于传统事务信函的套路。两层意思,一是呼吁捐助,二是联系方式。呼吁捐助的段首句采用倒装,使文章的句式有了不少变化。尽管全文的从句量不

多,但句式变化多,如并列句、倒装句、无主句。并且全文的短语使用较多且

地道。

图表:

作文

Directions: For this part, you are allowed thirty minutes to write a composition on the topic Rising Divorce Rates in China. You must base your composition on the following graph and outline (given in Chinese)

(1)描写图表反映的问题

(2)你认为最近几年中国离婚率高的原因是什么。

Rising Divorce Rates in China

There is a general discussion today about the issue of the divorce rate. As can be seen from the chart, great changes have been taking place. Obviously, China has experienced a dramatic increase in the divorce rate in the previous thirty years.

Some reasons are responsible for this. To begin with, legal changes have simplified divorce procedures, and removed barriers to divorce.In addition, the changes in personal economic activities also facilitate the divorce. Both of the couple can live on their own instead of depending on their partners. In other words, they can make the decision easily, when they would like to break up the marriage. Finally, a significant change can be found in social attitude towards the divorced persons. The discrimination to those divorced people has almost been wiped out.

Generally speaking,it is high time that we place great emphasis on this issue. That is to say, further attention is to be paid to this issue. Obviously, it is necessary that effective actions should be taken to prevent this trend.

图表的实质和原因现象一样:

2006年6月的六级作文Traveling Abroad是一篇图表类文章,在出题方式上基本沿袭是走稳健、成熟的出题风格。

一、题目评析

本次作文的提纲如下:

1、近十年来某城市越来越多人选择出去旅游

2、出现这种现象的原因

3、这种现象可能产生的影响

尽管它是以图表的形式出现,但就其实质来说,原因现象类文章和图表的写法一致。从近几年的考试作文看来,行文大多可以套用“中心句+1、2、3”模式。即,每段第一句是Topic sentence,改编自该段相对应的提纲,后面的1、2、3是链接词,每个1、2、3后接分支观点。这种表达,中心突出,层次分明,同时也节省了考生构思结构的麻烦。

本文的提纲可以理解为:

第一段、近十年来越来越多的人选择出去旅游

第二段、有很多原因说明此现象。First, … Second, … Third, …

第三段、这种现象所造成的影响如下。First, … Second, … Third, …

另外,值得注意的是,在图表作文中,第一段,也就是对图表描述的这一段,应该只描述图表的大致趋势变化,避免用过多文字对图表进行细节描述。

二、原则应用和高分示范

There is a general discussion today about the issue of traveling abroad. As can be seen from the bar chart, great changes have been taking place in the recent years. Obviously, an increasing number of people are likely to go abroad.

A number of factors are responsible for this. For one thing, they are better-off than before, which means people stand more chances of going out. For another, traveling abroad, in some persons’ views, partly shows that they are superior to those at home. In addition, citizens in that city are easily encouraged by the overwhelming advertisements in TV shows and news papers to go traveling. Therefore, persons in growing numbers have ever been abroad.

From what has been discussed abroad, we may safely draw the conclusion that it

brings win-win effects on people’s life. On the one hand, trips abroad may widen their horizons. In other words, people have more opportunities to touch various fields, and learn something new. On the other hand, touring does provide chances of posts or business. To sum up, there is little doubt that further attention will be paid to this issue.

作文分类讲解

(一)分析型作文

1. Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay entitled Say “Thank You” to Par ents. You should write at least 150 words following the outline given below in Chinese:

1. 很多的大学生从未跟父母道过谢(现象)

2. 请说明原因

3. 你的建议

写作指南:这是典型的四六级分析建议型习作。

根据题目要求,文章的结构如下:

第一段用报道引出现象:据报道,很多大学生从未跟父母说过“谢谢”。父母含辛茹苦把孩子们抚养大,但很少有孩子跟父母说过“谢谢”;

第二段原因分析段:

1.有的孩子认为父母在经济和精神上给予自己的支持是父母应该做的,没有必要说谢谢;

2.大多数年青人意识到了父母的爱,只是不习惯说“谢谢”;

3.有的觉得跟父母之间有代沟,从而不愿意跟父母表达自己的感情

第三段建议:直接勇敢地向父母表达自己的感激之情,做我们能做的一切去回报他们。【1】According to a recent survey involving over 3000 undergraduates, 35% of university students have never 【2】said “Thank you”to their parents. 【3】Their parents have done all they could to bring them up in the past score of years, but have never been rewarded with gratitude.

【1】【3】用数据法开头引出话题,让文章更客观。According to a recent survey involving…和score (二十) of是经典的表达。

【4】The subjects claim such reasons as follows. First and foremost, 【5】a quarter of the interviewed students regard it as parents’duty to support them spiritually and financially. And it is not necessary to 【6】express appreciation to their parents. However, 【7】the majority of youngsters are aware of their parents’tender love but are not accustomed to saying “Thank you”. Some even find a generation gap between themselves and their parents, thus【8】feeling reluctant to express their affection for their parents. 【2】【3】【6】【9】核心词汇“表达谢意”,作者使用了不同的表达法:said “Thank you”,gratitude, express appreciation以及extending thankfulness。【4】The subjects claim“被调查对象说…”显得有据可查。【5】用a quarter of 引出适用于小范围的个别原因,显得具体真实。【7】用the majority引出适用于大范围的普遍原因。

In my opinion, 【9】extending thankfulness to our parents is a way of respecting them and their love. We should express our feelings directly and bravely, but what’s more important is, 【10】we should do all that we can to reward them.

【9】用sth be a way of自然地提出建议。

【10】用should表示建议,符合写作要求。do all that we can呼应前文have done all they could。reward呼应第一段最后never been rewarded。

2. Directions:

For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay entitled Selfishness in Dormitory Life. You should write at least 150 words following the outline given below in Chinese:

1. 大学寝室里自私自利的现象比较普遍

2. 分析出现这种现象的原因

3. 呼吁大学生改变这种不智之举

写作指南:这是典型的四六级分析型习作。

根据题目要求,文章的结构如下:

第一段引出现象,简要列举几种大学寝室里的自私行为:从不关心他人,不帮助他人;大声喧哗、晚上听音乐打乱别人日常作息;

第二段原因分析段:1.大多数孩子是独生子女,从小就是家人满足他们的需要,他们很少主动关心别人的想法;2. 他们不知道互相尊重、互相帮助才是和谐的寝室生活的关键。

第三段分析改变这种不智之举的必要性:自私自利会侵蚀年轻人的理智,只有互相尊重、互相帮助才能创造健康的寝室氛围。

【1】Selfishness is a bit prevailing in university dormitories. 【2】Some never care about others’needs or offer help to their roommates.【3】Some even interrupt others’normal daily life by speaking loudly, turning on the loudspeakers and telephoning at midnight.

【1】第1句为本段主题句。

【2】【3】用列举法陈述现象,是对主题句的展开,紧扣大纲。

【4】As the only children in their families, most of them are the apples of their parents’eye. 【5】They have been spoiled and are used to being satisfied. Therefore, 【6】they hardly pay any attention to others’feelings initiatively. 【7】What they care about is how to meet their own demands and how to get what they need from others. Moreover, selfish people do not know mutual respect and mutual help are keys to harmonious dormitory life.

【4】the apples of one’s eye意为“掌上明珠”。

【6】使用调节语气副词hardly,使语气更委婉。【7】What they care about是主语从句,丰富了文章句型。

【8】Selfishness erodes youngsters’mind and may well undermine their all-round development. 【9】Only when we become respectful and helpful to each other, can we create a healthy atmosphere for dormitory life.

【8】在结尾段总结危害,以作为呼吁大学生改变这种不智之举的铺垫。

may well表示有充分的可能性。

【9】only引导的倒装句的运用为习作增添了亮点。

3. Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay entitled Is Study Pressure Good for University Students. You should write at least 150 words following the outline given below in Chinese:

1. 对于高校学习压力的影响,大学生的观点各不相同

2. 你的观点,并说明原因

3. 你的建议

写作指南:这是典型的四六级分析建议型习作。根据题目要求,文章的结构如下:

第一段引出现象,简述大学生对学习压力的不同看法;

第二段提出“我”的看法:学习压力过大不利于大学生活,简述原因:1. 学业负担过重导致过度疲劳,会扼杀学生的创造力;2. 过度压力对身体健康不利,从而影响学习和研究的效率。

第三段用谚语“劳逸结合”引出建议:一定的休息娱乐时间才能保证高效的大学学习。

As regards the study pressure in universities, students 【1】vary in their opinions. 【2】Some argue too much pressure 【3】is harmful to their academic life, 【4】while others regard pressure as a driving force that encourages them to work hard and be top students.

【1】用vary in their opinions引出话题以及不同人的观点。

【2】用while引出形成对照的观点,是对比的惯用手法。

【5】As far as I am concerned, too much pressure from study will 【6】do harm to my academic life. First and foremost, 【7】being overburdened by study, students will be exhausted and become less creative. Moreover, excessive tensions will 【8】do no good to their physical health. Only a sound body could guarantee long-term efficient academic study and research.

【5】主题句定下整段基调。

【3】【6】【8】is harmful to、do harm to以及do no good to均表示“有害于”,分别用三种表达法,体现了语言的多样性。

【9】As the proverb goes, “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.”【10】It is suggested that 【11】university students balance work and leisure by putting aside enough time for relaxation. 【12】Only in this way could higher efficiency in academic study be ensured.

【9】用谚语作结尾段的开头句,实为点睛之笔。

【12】用only in this way倒装句型强调作者所提建议的重要性。

(三)图表型作文

6. Youngsters’ Use of the Internet

a. 根据下图描述北京市青少年上网人数和时间的变化

b. 你对于学生上网的评论

c. 你喜欢上网吗?说明原因

The bar charts above display that an increasing number of young people tend to surf the Internet

more and more frequently in Beijing. In 1995, only 500,000 youngsters had access to Internet spending about 0.5 hour, whereas in 1999 about 4 million young students spent almost seven times longer time online.

It is no wonder that the Internet is shaping youngster’s life. It provides an abundant source of information and facilitates young people’s communication with their familiar or unf amiliar friends. However, as students, they should not indulge themselves in the illusive world or even playing online games for a rather long time. They should cautiously guard against the unhealthy contents available online.

Personally, I also prefer to utilize the Internet properly for the following reasons. First and foremost, it is accessible for me to get the latest information of software, which is my favorite subject. Equally important, thanks to the Internet, I make many foreign friends and make great progress in English through constant communication with them.

7. Pursuit of A Master’s Degree

a. 根据下图描述某校毕业生毕业意向的变化

b. 分析选择读研的毕业生数目增加的原因

c. 说明选择读研对个人和社会产生的影响

It is illustrated in the pie charts that graduates’ choices after graduation have experienc ed much change. The number of students choosing to pursue a master’s degree and study abroad grows several times over the decade.

The reasons of the increasing number of students pursuing a master’s degree are as follows. First, with the number of college graduates growing each year, the situation in the job market is getting tighter and tighter. The public awareness of the situation has created a surge of interest in seeking a master’s degree. Secondly, many cross-national companies set a much higher standard for new recruits than ever. It seems that the higher education you have, the higher salary you may receive. Choosing to study for master’s degree will benefit the individuals and the whole society as well. The quality of Chinese intellectuals will be considerably enhanced, which in turn will boost the progress of the whole society.

8. Driving Private Cars to Work

a. 下图所示为某大城市居民上下班所用交通方式的变化

b. 请分析变化原因(如从汽车的用途、

价格或社会发展等方面加以分析。)

c. 分析这一变化可能带来的负面影响

The two pie charts above illustrate that an increasing number of people in the big city have chosen driving to work in the past two decades. Between 1981 and 2001, the proportion of people riding bicycles or resorting to public transportation declined respectively by 18% and 10%, with people driving motorcycles and private cars growing by 16% and 12%.

There are two main components accounting for the rising percentage of private-car drivers. Nowadays, it’s common for people to travel a long distance to work in big cities or even across cities. Private cars will undoubtedly become the first choice when speed and convenience are considered. What’s more, with rising average income and the advent of some types of economical cars, people can afford private cars, which used to be luxuries for almost all Chinese.

Some people pessimistically believe that the growing numbers of cars on the road will lead to some negative effects. On one hand, it will worsen the traffic condition in metropolitan cities. On the other hand, it will also pose great threat to the environment.

9. Cooperation or Competition

a. 有人认为合作精神很重要

b. 有人认为竞争精神更为重要

c. 你的看法

There has long been a heated discussion over whether cooperation is more essential than competition. As for me, the importance of cooperation and competition equals.

Firstly, each person is like a screw of the machine. And several tasks call for the cooperation of all the members of a group. Performing your own tasks carefully, keeping pace with your classmates or colleagues and listening to others’ suggestions help you succeed in the end.

However, being competitive also has a place in life. As a member of the group, if you want to achieve more and be better than others, you must make more efforts, working harder or studying more diligently. Moreover, you should have the competitive spirit and adapt yourself to competition.

In a word, we must learn to be both cooperative and competitive in order to succeed in life. What we need to learn is when to be cooperative and when to be competitive.

10.Should College Students Live on Campus

a. 有些人喜欢住在学校的宿舍,因为……

b. 有些人喜欢住在校外,因为……

c. 我的看法

There are an increasing number of students who choose to live off campus. Parents and university administrations understandably reacted differently. They voiced concerns about security and the threat of off-campus lifestyles getting out of control. However, college students have their own reasons for their choices.

Some students prefer to live on campus for the following reasons. First, campus residents are closer to classes, the library, and other resources, so they are more likely to succeed in college and complete their bachelor’s degree in four years. Furthermore, living in a dorm is a great opportunity to meet all kinds of new people and develop relationships with them, so students living on campus are more sociable. Last but not the least, living on campus is cheaper and more convenient. Often times, off-campus housing is more expensive than on-campus housing and while living on campus, you don’t have to worry about monthly rent payments and u tility bills.

Some others choose to live off campus because they believe living off campus they are more independent, with more privacy and a lot more quiet time. Living off campus gives them freedom from those dorm rules and allow them to set their own. The extra space also means that one can probably find a quiet place to study in the convenience of his own home.

As for me, I’m a faithful supporter of the former group because I, living on campus myself, have witnessed and enjoyed all the convenience and happiness of doing so. To me, living on campus undoubtedly adds an important element to the complete college experience.

8. Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay entitled Does On-Campus English Education Lose its Appeal. You should write at least 150 words following the outline given below in Chinese:

Does On-Campus English Education Lose its Appeal?

1. 对于私立学校的英语培训,很多大学生都趋之若骛

2. 你认为大学英语教育真的丧失魅力了吗?

(请说明理由)

写作指南:这是四六级作文中典型的分析型习作,要求考生明确自身立场,并分析原因。根据题目要求,文章的结构如下:

第一段简述现象:当今大学生对私立学校或教育机构开设的各类英语课程趋之若骛,有的甚至抱怨大学英语教育乏味而不实用,从而引出主题:高校英语教育真的丧失魅力了吗?

第二段:阐述“我”的个人立场:高校英语教育没有丧失魅力:

1.大学生争报课外英语班的现象正说明了大学英语教学激发了他们学习英语的兴趣和求知欲;

2. 校外的实用性英语课程与大学正式英语教学并不相悖,而是后者的有益补充。

第三段简要总结:大学英语教学为大学生的语言学习打下了坚实的基础。

【1】An increasing number of college students are 【2】swarming into private schools for English training courses, 【3】ranging from CET preparation to business English. Some of them are even complaining that on-campus English lectures are too boring and impractical. 【4】Does English education in universities really lose its appeal?

【1】an increasing number表示“越来越多”的概念,代替中国学生的传统表示法more and more。

【2】swarm into表示“蜂拥而至”,这种比喻的用法非常形象。

【3】ranging from…to…是用来表示列举的常用表达法。

【4】【5】首段结尾和第二段开头一问一答,使整个篇章自然衔接。

【5】In my opinion, it is far from being true. For one thing, that more students go in for extra courses proves that 【6】their interest and curiosity are sparked by university English teaching. They need more special-purpose courses to strengthen what they have learnt on campus. For another, 【7】the boom of practical courses off-campus stems from the demand of job market, 【8】for graduates with more strengths will be more welcome. And this is a beneficial supplement for formal English education.

【5】it is far from表示“远远不……”,是加强语气的表达法。

【6】spark一词是语言亮点,表示“激发(兴趣或好奇心)”。

【7】stem from原义为“来源于……”,在此表示原因,体现了语言运用的灵活性。

In conclusion, 【9】on-campus English education lays a sound language basis for university students and will never be out-of-fashion because of its constant reform and improvement.

(六)说明型作文

12. How I Improve My English

a. 英语进步可以有很多方法

b. 哪种方法适合我(说明理由)

With the trend of globalization, English becomes a vital tool for effective communication. College students now concern more about the improvement of their English. Students’ secrets are as follows.

As we know, “Practice makes perfect.” Diligent study contributes to some students’ progress in their English. Others turn to entertainment for help, watching English movies and making an all-out effort to learn English songs. Still, some sociable students make regular appointments with their foreign friends for a chat, a dinner or a party.

As for me, I prefer the third way. Two ingredients could account for my choice. It is primarily because there is no better way to learn idiomatic English than communicating with native English speakers. Moreover, it is owing to my sociable and friendly personality, that is, I like making different kinds of friends.

作文试题分类

作文从试题角度可以分为现象解释型、对比选择型、问题解决型、观点论证型与应用文五种类型。

(一)现象解释型

此类作文在六级考试作文中最为常见。命题主要要求考生对某一社会现象进行解释并加以评论,其基本结构是:首先说明现状;其次阐述这种现状产生或存在的原因;最后做出分析,提出建议或总结观点。例如:1.现象解释六级真题(2003年6月)

(二)对比选择型

此类作文同样是六级考试中常见的类型,它的标志十分明显。作文题目要求较明确,富有针对性,即直接要求考试比较两种观点或做法,进而表明自己对问题或事务的态度或观点,也就是做出选择。例如:(2000年6月,1999年6月)

(三)问题解决型

此类作文要求考生从提示性文字或图表、图画入手,解释提示性文字、图表、图画反映出的问题,提出问题的危害性或解决这一问题的紧迫性;然后对问题展开分析,提出解决问题的方案或应对措施;最后一段要求考生表明自己的态度、做法等。如2000年1月真题。(四)观点论证型

此类作文往往要求考生根据题目给出论点,按照提纲的结构要求对其下论证,然后表明自己的立场和看法。通过摆事实、讲道理的方式剖析事物,论述事理,发表意见,确立或否认某一主张。如:1999年1月六级真题。

(五)应用文

应用文中的信函,也是六级作文设计的试题之一。在这类题型中,考生会读到一个特

定的场景,试题要求考生按照这个场景给相关人士写一封短信,并在信中明确表达自己写信的原因、动机、目的和愿望等。文章所设及的内容多种多样,但大部分都与日常生活比较贴近。书信的类型可能变化万千,如邀请信、申请信、感谢信、道歉信等,但是万变不离其宗,只要掌握了英语书信的格式,并应用恰当的句式和语句,就一定能够写出好的文章来。

一.解决方案

1.建议考生分解作文观点,扩充内容。

2003年9月真题

Reading regularly has long become a common part of people’s life. And reading preference has always aroused the greatest concern. What impresses us most is according to the table, the percentage of book circulation in an American university library, which shows that the circulation of popular fictions, general nonfictions, science/technology/education books and art/ literature/poetry books accounts for 65.9%,18.2%,10.8%and 5.1% respectively. The reasons for the phenomenon are varied.

Among the various reasons, the appealing content of the popular fictions plays an important part. That is to say, thanks to its appealing plot, popular fictions attract more people than other types of books do. What is more, science and art books which require readers’knowledge on relevant fields are highly demanding. For example, it’s hard for students majoring in chemistry to understand Browning’s poems, and vice versa.

When talking about my reading preference, I think I prefer to science books. On the one hand, in order to deepen what I’m specializing in, I need read more books relevant to my major. On the other hand, these books can also broaden our horizons. In brief, college students should choose books according to their interests and needs.

We have witnessed that college students vary in reading preference. According to the table of the percentage of book circulation in an American university library, the circulation of popular fictions and general nonfictions accounts for 65.9% and 18.2% respectively. And the table shows that the circulation of science/technology/education books and art/ literature/poetry books is 10.8%and 5.1% respectively. Many reasons contribute to this phenomenon.

To begin with, popular fictions usually possess more appealing plot than ther types of books do, so many readers are attracted by popular fictions. Moreover, popular fictions and general nonfictions are easier to be understood. In addition, science and art books demand certain knowledge in special field of study. As a result, more students tend to choose popular fictions and general nonfictions.

As to me, I’m in favor of books of science and technology. First of all, in order to deepen what I’m leaning, I need read more books relevant to my major and observe the new development in science and technology circles. Besides, there books can also broaden my vision. To conclude, college students should choose books according to their interests and needs.

2002年6月真题:Is a test of spoken necessary?

A test of spoken English will be included as an optional component of the College English Test (CET). Different people have different views on it. Some prefer to have such a test. Others tend to decline any kind of test of spoken English. As to me, I agree with the first statement.

Of course, a test of spoken English is very difficult to handle and the test time is not long enough to fully display participants’ability to spoken in English. For example, if a candidate draws a topic which he of she is not familiar with, it’s hard to show his or her command of spoken English. But without such a test, some people may not have motivation to practise spoken English. The following reasons can account for my preference.

The main reason is that such a test enhances college students’ awareness of the importance of spoken English. A good example to illustrate is that several years ago, college students only stressed reading and writing skills, ignoring to building up listening and speaking ability. For another, a certificate of such a test will make job-hunting easier. From the foregoing, I think a test of spoken English is of necessity.
