预测作文1 多题多卷The impact of fog and haze in large cities of China.中国许多大城市雾霾污染严重的影响Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay based on the picture blow. You should start your essay with a brief account of the impact of air pollution and then suggest how to make the air cleaner. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.From the picture above, we can see that people are coughing in the polluted air. With air pollution worsening than before, pm 2.5 has become a usual word for us. Needless to say, people do not like this word, as the content the word represents does great harm to people’s health.As the polluted air does affect our health, we should take some measures to make the air cleaner. On the one hand, we should take mass transit instead of driving a car. According to a recent study, vehicle exhaust is a main source of air pollution, so if vehicle exhaust reduces, the air will become cleaner. On the other, more trees should be planted to absorb the tiny dust in the air, which surely will make the air cleaner.Protection of the environment needs constant efforts by every people on the planet. Only in this way can we have cleaner air and more livable environment.The impact of overusing smart phones on college students.过度使用智能手机对大学生的影响Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay based on the picture below. You should start your essay with a brief account of overusing of smart phones among college students and its impact on their study and then explain whether college students should use a smart phone or not. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.The Impact of the Mobile Phone in People’s LifeThe thought-provoking drawing mirrors a common phenomenon in contemporary society that there is the negative influence of mobile phone. As is subtly shown in the picture，so many people are too much addicted to cell phones that they use walking sticks to see the road. What a meaningful cartoon!It is to me that indulging in mobile phones produces native influences on body and mind. First and foremost, overusing mobile phones is detrimental to physical health for watching mobiles for a long stretch definitely impairs one’s eyesight. Suppose that a man is addicted in cell phones in whatever situation, it will be very disadvantageous for him to concentrate on his work, learning, or daily life and is very likely to hurt him. Furthermore, overusing cell phones adversely affects state of mind. An addict may stay inside his bubble instead of pursuing other endeavors, which eventually prevents the growth of think skills.It is high time that we took effective measures to curb this trend. I cherish a belief that cell phones themselves are not good or bad and we can benefit a lot from it as long as we take a good control over them.The Impact of Electronic Products on Family ReunionDirections: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay based on the picture below. You should start your essay with a brief account of using of Electronic Products among families and its impact on Family Reunion and then explain whether we should use a Electronic Products on Family Reunion or not. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.The Impact of Electronic Products on Family ReunionThe picture depicts an authentic scene of family get-together. Everyone sits around the dinner table for the family reunion; However, oddly, both children and young adults immerse themselves in electronic products like iPhones or iPads, leaving their old parents looking at each other speechlessly.In fact, family reunion provides a good opportunity for family members to spend quality time together, build positive memories, and keep bonds of kinship. However, it makes no sense if everyone indulges in the fantastic world of electronic devices, searching the latest information, updating or following their micro-blogs or simply playing fascinating games. What they want is only their children’s company. How disappointed and upset they would be if we turn a blind eye to their real needs.Personally, I firmly insist that youngsters share more time with their parents or grandparents. Electronic products are updating and changing from time to time, but our invaluable kinship exists eternallyThe impact of computers on the way people write.电脑对人们书写的影响Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay based on the picture below. You should start your essay with a brief account of the impact of computers on the way people write and then explain whether the pen should be abandoned. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.TThe Impact of the Computer on Writing AbilityAs we can see, a student says to his teacher: “how can I write with the pen without a USB port for a keyboard”Obviously, which implies that with the popularity of computer people’s writing ability has deteriorated.This picture brings us the question whether we are going forward or backward after the popularity of computer. There is no doubt that our life has become much easier owing to the conveniences computer has brought. However, people have depended so much on computer that they can hardly do things well without it, which result in the degeneration in some abilities, such as writing ability and communication ability. In this sense, computer has made us go backward.Alarmed by the issue reflected in the picture, we should do something to prevent ourselves from the side effects of computer. As far as I am concerned, we should limit the time we spend on computer and try to develop as many good habits as possible in spare time.预测作文2 名言式作文（六级常考）模版：以Where There Is a Will, There Is a Way为例Where There Is a Will, There Is a WayThere is an old saying that “Where there is a will, there is a way”, which means as long as a person possesses a strong will he will certainly accomplish a task no matter how difficult it is. In other words, one of the most important things to achieve success is a firm resolution. This is the case in all walks of life.For example, Karl Marx spent five years on his greatest work Das Kapital. Cao Xueqin spent ten years on his world famous book Dreams of Red Chamber. Without a strong will and firm determination they couldn’t have fulfilled such brilliant works. However, some people don’t have the fearless spirit. Whenever they meet difficulties, they draw back from it. As a result, they never accomplish anything.Therefore, if we wish to succeed, we must first have a firm resolution and remember the saying “Where there is a will, there is a way”.预测作文3 多题多卷Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay on the topic The Most Unforgettable Person I Ever Know. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.The Most Unforgettable Person I Ever KnowIn my life I have met a great many people who are really worth recalling. But perhaps the most unforgettable person is my English teacher in high school.What makes the memories of the English teacher come back frequently to my mind is his special qualities. First of all, he gave us the greatest gift a teacher can offer—the awakening of a passion for learning. He did not only help us appreciate the beauty of the English language and literature, but also aroused our great interest in exploring something deeper in this field. Furthermore, I was attracted by his witty way of teaching. I remember that we students always anticipated his class with great eagerness because his lectures were humorously delivered, never failing to provoke chuckles or loud laughs.Although it is nearly two years since I last attended his class, he is still the focus of the talk among our old classmates, and I know a part of him has already been living in our mind.An Unforgettable ExperienceOf all the activities I took part in, the most impressive one is doing voluntary work in an orphanage. On one weekend, my classmates and I spent a day in an orphanage playing with orphans, telling them stories, and helping them with their lessons. Time passing quickly, they enjoyed our company and I benefit a lot from this experience as well.First of all, it colors my campus life and inspires my enthusiasm to participate in extracurricular activities. Second, it enables me to cherish my current happiness and fills me with determination and gratitude. Last but not least, this experience reminds me of the social responsibility imposed on us, as college students. I realize there are many people needing our assistance, and we should spare no effort to offer our help.To sum up, this volunteer experience is profoundly meaningful. What I have learned from it stimulates me to make progress and contribution for society.An Unforgettable PartyIt is an unforgettable party in my life which happened in my high school time.On a snowy day, owing to a careless slip on my way to school I fell onto the ground, only to find that my feet were seriously hurt. I was told by doctor to lie in bed for one month or so, which deeply frustrated me. Still more disappointedly, myclassmates and I had planned a trip to Zhongshan Park to celebrate my birthday the following Sunday. However, now my plan melted into the air. There was no doubt that I would have a lonely and boring birthday. To my surprise, on the afternoon of my birthday, several classmates turned up in my home with a bunch of flowers and wonderful gifts. We had a merry chat，singing Karaoke and playing cards. All of us were bubbling over with enthusiasm.When they were leaving, they wished me a speedy recovery. I was deeply touched by their thoughtfulness and kindness, and the impressive birthday party will stick in my mind forever.预测作文4：An Opening Speech（运动会开幕词）假设你的学校要召开运动会，你作为该校学生会的发言人在开幕式上发言，请写一份开幕词，包括以下内容：1.表明自己的身份和发言的主要内容；2.对到场的领导和老师给予的支持表示感谢，并阐述做体育运动的益处；3.预祝此次运动会取得圆满成功。

2014.6Text 1中国应进一步发展核能，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，发生核事故的可能性完全可以降到最低程度。

When you read newspapers, turn on TV, or even walk on the road, you will inevitably see lots of advertisements about private schools, mainly dealing with foreign languages, computers, music, sports, and so on. However, is it a good or bad thing to have so many private schools? As a coin has two sides, so are the private schools. On the one hand, private schools can cater to the special need of the society and the special need of people. On the other hand, they often bring people extra burden because of comparison and competition.Were it left to me decide whether we should have asociety withoutprivate.schools.or.asocietywithprivaie.schools,X.sfeould ..QoLbesitate.amomenttopreferjhejlatter.

2014四级范文+几篇预测Self-help Traveling1. 越来越多大学生选择“自助游”，原因是…2. 也会带来一些问题3. 你的看法Self-help TravelingMore and more college students choose self-help trayelijig rather than arranged tour s when they plan to travel. The reason inay be that by ananging the route, booking che aper hotels and taking cheaper transportatio n means 2.W by themselves, they can save a lot of money.Convenient and economical as self-help t raveling sounds, it still has some potential p roblems Perhaps the most important one is t he safety hazard. Being alone without a grou p or a tour guide, a traveler may be helples s in face of danger, i.e. robbery, wild animalattacks, etc. In addition, they are more Eik ely to be at risk of getting lost when traveli ng alone in a strange city or in the remote countryside.In my view, self-help traveling can be e xciting and challenging which is worth tryin g. However, before setting out alone on a to ur, travelers should make good preparations. Besides, they should hear security in mind all the time and keep ia touch with their fri ends or relatives. By doing soa they can enj oy the pleasure of exploring a strange city s afe and sound.Due Attention Should Be Given to Speaking1. 如今不少学生在英语学习中不重视口语2. 出现这种现象的原因是……3. 为改变这种状况，我认为……【范文】Due Attention Should Be Given to SpeakingNowadays fewer and fewer students pay attention to their spoken English, which res ults in a dramatic increase in the number of students who can spell English words but a re incapable of speaking them fluently or co rrectly. This phenomenon has aroused many people’s attention.Why does such a phenomenon emerge? As far as I’m concerned, there are possibly two reasons contributing to this phenomenon. On the one hand, exam-oriented education makes many schools lay emphasis on passing the English exams, which leads to the lack of speaking environment for students to prac tice their spoken English. On the other hand, students themselves don’t realize the import ance of the ability to speak English which h as a great influence on their future study an d career development.To change this situation, I think, we ca n take the following measures. First, the importance of oral English should be emphasize d to raise students’ awareness of the necessit y of speaking English. Second, exams should be modified to make students pay attention to their spoken English. Third, schools can organize various activities to arouse students’interest in speaking English.Parents’ Being Slaves to Children1. 现在有些父母成为“孩奴”2. 出现这种现象的原因3. 这种现象可能产生的影响【范文】Parents’ Being Slaves to ChildrenParents’ being slaves to their children o r “child’s slave” is nowadays a hot topic in China. It refers to young parents who have to spend a large part of their income on chi ldren. These parents feel great strain underthe burden of raising a child and struggle h ard to make as much money as possible.The cost of raising a child in China is becoming greater and greater. But economic pressure is not the only reason that makes y oung parents “child’s slave”. Parents’ compe t ing with each other in trying to provide the best possible living conditions for their chil dren should also be blamed.If this problem continues, it would affec t parents and the development of our countr y. These parents would suffer from huge eco nomic pressure, which may pose a threat to their marriages or physical and mental healt h. On the other hand, to avoid being slaves, some couples are unwilling to have childre n.Shopping through Media1. 目前许多人通过媒体购物2. 媒体购物有利有弊3. 我的看法【范文】Shopping through MediaWith the development of science and tec hnology, it is much more common for people to buy goods through different kinds of me dia than before. People can buy things such as computers and necklaces through TV, ra dio, the Internet, etc.Shopping through media is welcomed by most people due to various reasons. From t he perspective of consumers, it can save tim e for people who don’t have much spare tim e. For retailers, it can cut costs for those wi thout much circulating funds. However, there are still some defects in shopping through media. First, compared with face-to-face deal, it seems less reliable and trustworthy. Seco nd, people will lose the fun of bargaining.In my view, although shopping via medi a brings great convenience to us, we still should be brings great convenience to us, we s till should be careful when we “go shoppin g” through media. We should check the info rmation released by the media. Only in this way can we fully enjoy the convenience brou ght by media shopping without the concern of being cheated.The Internet1. 有人认为网络可以让学习、工作更有效率2. 有人却认为网络让青少年沉迷，影响学习3. 我的看法【范文】The InternetIn the era of information and technolog y, the Internet plays an important role in o ursociety. However, people’s opinions are s till divided on this point. Those who are infavor of the Internet claim that it has a lot of advantages. Firstly, information searching is no longer a tough job with the help of all kinds of search engines. Secondly, we can c ontact friends or business partners via e-mai ls or software such as Internet Meeting and Yahoo Messenger.Those who are opposed to the Internet hold that its disadvantages are numerous. In the first place, using the Internet costs cons iderable time, money and energy, especially f or those with poor self-control. In the secon d place, increasing young people are indulge d in online games and unhealthy information, which are extremely harmful to their devel opment.In my opinion, its pros outweigh the co ns. The past twenty years have witnessed the fast development of the Internet along with the national economy. A brighter future isawaiting us if we make good use of the Inte rnet.My View on Double BA Degree1. 现在大学生读双学位的现象很常见2. 我对这一现象的看法范文内容：Recently it has become a common phen omenon for college students to have two maj ors at the same time. In this way, they can get double BA degrees when they graduate f rom the university several years later.Although it may bring unfavorable cons equences, we can be sure to conclude that t his practice is favorable on the whole. To be gin with, most students will become more ha rdworking and efficient in order to finish th e learning tasks satisfactorily. Moreover, wit h two degrees at hand after graduation, they will stand a better chance in the job market full of fierce competition. In the third plac e, as for today's university students, tuition and fees are becoming more and more expe nsive. If they can make achievements in stud y at school and find a satisfactory job after wards, it will not be a big problem.Weighing the pros and cons of such a n ew trend, we can naturally arrive at the con clusion that it is beneficial and rewarding. T his system not only compels students to wor k hard, but also prepares them for the comi ng competition.重点讲析：首段直接点题，说明现象;第二段分述三个优点，其中首句为让步状语从句，意思是“虽然可能带来负面的后果，但总体上是有益的”;第三段呼应第二段，得出结论。

考拉进阶CET-4历年真题阅读译文（2014.12—2010.06）2014年12月四级真题（第一套）Passage One纽约人渐渐习惯了更多的人骑着闪亮的蓝色花旗自行车。

但当地的自行车商店怎么看呢？花旗自行车是不是在使它们受损的情况下来增加骑行的人呢？在翠贝卡区的Gotham Bikes，经理W. Ben说，该店的整体销量因自行车共享计划而上升。

“它让更多的人上路，”他说。

格拉姆西区Danny’s Cycles的雇员James Ryan也说花旗自行车是一个不错的选择，它让人们逐步适应在一个以交通堵塞和野蛮司机闻名的城市里骑车。

“他们不用买自行车就可以试骑，”他说。

租赁既不是Gotham Bikes也不是Danny’s Cycles的主营业务。

但对Frank’s Bike Shop ——电商网站Grand St.上的一个小店——来说，自行车共享计划却是坏消息。

店主Frank Arroyo说，自从上个月花旗自行车正式推出，他的租赁业务下降了90%。

Arroyo的主要租客是欧洲游客，他们从此就被花旗自行车吸引走了。

然而Ben说，自行车共享对他的店铺的自行车销售来说却是有益的。

“人们用了自行车共享并意识到在城市里骑自行车有多棒，然后决定为自己买更好的自行车，”他指出。

Waterfront Bicycle Shop位于克里斯多福街以北的西街，该店的Christian Farrell 说，他最初很担忧自行车共享，但他承认，“我很高兴看到人们骑自行车。

”Andrew Crooks有着和Farrell早期一样的担忧。

他是位于第二大街64号的NYC Velo 的店主。

“它看起来是一个好主意，但却很难实施，”Crooks这样评价花旗自行车。

他说他很担忧经验不足的骑行者缺乏对骑行规定的认识以及来自不骑车的人的强烈反对。

然而，他说，现在说他的生意受到影响还为时尚早。

虽然自行车共享很可能会造成生意下滑，但Crooks承认，这种想法对纽约市来说是向前迈出了积极的一步。

据记载，狮舞已拥有了2,000多年的历史。

在唐代(theTang Dynasty)，狮舞就已经被引入了皇室。

因此，舞狮成为元宵节(the Lantern Festival)和其他节日的习俗，人们以此来祈祷好运、平安和幸福。

The Lion Dance is one of the most widespread folk dances in China .The lion is the king of animals. In Chinese tradition, the lion is regarded as a mascot, which can bring good luck .Ancient people regarded the lion as a symbol of braveness and strength, which could drive away evil and protect humans. The dance has a recorded history of more than 2,000 years. During the Tang Dynasty, the Lion Dance was already introduced into the royal family of the dynasty. Therefore, performing the lion dance at the Lantern Festival and other festive occasions became a custom where people could pray for good luck, safety and happiness.2、中国将进一步发展经济、扩大开放，这对海外企业(enterprises)意味着更多的商机。

Along with the trend of longevity, it has become a trend for people to debate whether it is wise to postpone retirement age.A number of individuals favor postponing the retirement age. In their eyes, it is this policy that enables the aging society to build up enough work-force. As a matter of fact, people in mounting numbers have come to realize this problem in an aging society. Even so, others hold a different view that postponing retirement age carries some risks. This policy can bring old people stress, but cannot arouse their enthusiasm for work, and cannot help them to enjoytheir retirement pension.I am convinced that we should take into account the wishes of old people.

大学生出勤率Directions:For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic: Lectures or Discussions. You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below in Chinese.1. 一些学生赞成讲座式教学2. 另一些学生偏爱讨论式教学3. 你的看法范文：Lectures and DiscussionsThere is a heated debate over the role of lectures and discussions in the classroom. Some people believe that lectures can help students learn more quickly. In contrast, others hold that discussions can stimulate students to learn by themselves.Those who hold the first opinion suggest that students attend more lectures. In their view, by giving lectures teachers help students master the knowledge they've accumulated over years of study and research. However, others think that in a discussion, the teacher usually guides the students instead of dominating them. They argue that to get involved in a discussion, students have to develop their ability to analyze problems independently.In my opinion, I stand on the side of neither idea. First of all, either method has its disadvantages. Furthermore, each student has his or her preference. Thirdly, lectures ate preferable to discussions in the teaching of science subjects, and on the contrary, discussions are preferable to lectures in studying the humanities. Therefore, we should adopt different teaching methods according to different subjects.论灾难Directions: Write a composition entitled On Disasters. You should write at least 120 words according to the outline given below in Chinese:1. 人的一生中，可能会遇到一些灾难事件，给我们的生活带来意外的打击。

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.
