新东方金秀秀：2018年6月大学英语四级考试真题解析写作部分(新东方版)2018年6四级作文题为the importance of reading/ writing/speaking ability and how to develop it，这次作文可以说是近几年最好写的一篇，据考后学生反馈，看到作文题都表示非常开心，因为平时上课已经多次练习了类似的作文。

接下来本文将从审题、作文考查内容和范文三方面进行四级写作解析。

首先，此次作文题目没有任何审题难度，每一个词都能读懂，几乎不可能出现跑题现象。

不同与2017年12月作文题(how to best handle the relationship between doctors and patients / parents and children / teachers and students)，有同学反映handle（处理）不明白什么意思，也有同学没有注意到题中的“how to”，写作过程中没有提到具体做法，这些都可能导致跑题偏题。

去年同一时间2017年6月的考题审题难度则更大，且不说content（内容）, brand（品牌）, specifications/features（特征）, condition（状况）这些较难的词，很多基础比较薄弱的同学不认识题目要求写的advertisement（广告），可想而知最后同学写出来的普遍不理想。

而此次作文题目简单明了。

在作文考查内容方面，这次的话题（reading/writing/speaking）回归了曾经多次出现的传统话题。

和2015年12月考题非常类似—the importance of being participants/lifelong learning /listening（成为参与者/终身学习/倾听的重要性）。

更和2010年考题Due Attention should be paid to spelling（重视拼写）考察同一话题。

As universities go digital, students are complaining of anew hit to their finances that's replacing—and sometimes joining—expensive textbooks: priceyonline access codes that are required to complete coursework and submit assignments.B)The codes—which typically range in price from MYM80 to MYM155 per course—give students onlineaccess tosystems developed by education companies like McGraw Hill and Pearson. Thesecompanies, which long reaped big profits as textbook publishers, have boasted that their newonline offerings , when pushed to students through universities they partner with, represent thefuture of the industry.C)But critics say the digital access codes represent the same profit-seeking ethos (观念）of thetextbook business ,and are even harder for students to opt out of. W压le they could once buysecond-hand textbooks, or share copies with friends, the digital systems are essentially impossible to avoid.D)"When we talk about the access code we see it as the new face of the textbook monopoly (垄断），a new way tolock students around this system," said Ethan Senack, the higher educationadvocate for the U.S. Public Interest Research Group, to BuzzFeed News. "Rather than MYM250(for a print textbook) you're paying MYM120,"said Senack. " B ut because it's all digital it eliminates the used book market and eliminates any sharing and because homework and tests arethrough an access code, it eliminates any ability to opt out. "E)Sarina Harper, a 19-year-old student at Virginia Tech, was faced with a tough dilemma whenshe first startedcollege in 2015—pay rent or pay to tum in her chemistry homework. She toldBuzzFeed News that her freshman chemistry class required her to use Connect, a systemprovided by McGraw Hill where students can submit homework, take exams and track theirgrades. But the code to access the program cost MYM120—a big sum for Harper, who hadalready put down MYM450 for textbooks, and had rent day approaching.F)She decided to wait for her next work-study paycheck, which was typically MYM150-MYM200, topay for thecode. She knew that her chemistry grade may take a dive as a result. "It's abalancing act, "she said. " C an I really afford these access codes now?" She didn't hand in herfI T st two assignments for chemistry, which started her out in the class with a failing grade.G)The access codes may be another financial headache for students, but for textbook businesses, t hey're the future.McGraw Hill, which controls 21 %of the higher education market, reportedin March that its digital content sales exceeded print sales for the first time in 2015. Thecompany said that 45% of its MYM140 million revenue in 2015 "was derived from digital products. "H)A Pearson spokesperson told BuzzFeed News that "digital materials are less expensive and agood investment"that offer new features, like audio texts, personalized knowledge checks andexpert videos. Its digital course materials save students up to 60% compared to traditionalprinted textbooks, the company added. McGraw Hill didn't respond to a request for comment, b ut its CEO David Levin told the Financial Times in August that "in higher education ,the era ofthe printed textbook is now over. "I)The textbook industry insists the online systems represent a better deal for students. "Thesedigital products aren't just mechanisms for students to submit homework, they offer all kindsof features, "David Anderson, theexecutive director of higher education with the Associationof American Publishers, told BuzzFeed News. "It helps students understand in a way that youcan't do with print homework assignments. "J)David Hunt, an associate professor in sociology at Augusta University, which has rolled outdigital textbooks across its math and psychology departments, told BuzzFeed News that heunderstands the utility of u sing systems that require access codes. But he doesn't require hisstudents to buy access to a learning program that controls the class assignments. "I try tomake things as inexpensive as possible, "said Hunt, who uses free digital textbooks for hisclasses but designs his own curriculum. "The online systems may make my life a lot easier butl feel like I'm giving up control. The discussions are the things where my expertise can benefitthe students most. "K)A 20-year-old junior at Georgia Southern University told BuzzFeed News that she normallyspends MYM500-MYM600 on access codes for class. In one case, the professor didn't require students to buy a textbook, just an access code to tum in homework. This year she said she spentMYM900 on access codes to books and programs."That's two months of r ent," she said. "Youcan't sell any ofit back. With a traditional textbook you can sell it for MYM30-MYM50 and that helpsto pay for your new semester's books. With an access code, you're out of that money. "L)Benjamin Wolverton, a 19-year-old student at the University of South Carolina, told BuzzFeedNews that "it's ridiculous that after paying tens of thousands in tuition we have to pay for allthese access codes to do our homework. "Many of the access codes he's purchased havebeen required simply to complete homework or quizzes. "Often it's only 10% of y our grade inclass," he said. "You're paying so much money for something that hardly affects your grade—but if y ou didn't have it, it would affect your grade enough. It would be bad to start out at a Bor C." Wolverton said he spent MYM500 on access codes for digital books and programs thissemester.M)Harper, a poultry (家禽）science major, is taking chemistry again this year and had to buy anew access code to hand in her homework. She rented her economics and statistics textbooksfor about MYM20 each. But her access codes for homework, which can't be rented or boughtsecond-hand, were her most expensive purchases: MYM120 and MYM85.N)She still remembers the sting of h er frrst experience skipping an assignment due to the highprices. "We don't really have a missed assignment policy," she said. "If you miss it, you justmiss it. I just got zeros on a couple of frrst assignments. I managed to pull everything back up. B ut as a scared freshman looking at their grades, it's not fun."36.A student's yearly expenses on access codes may amount to their rent for two months.37.The online access codes may be seen as a way to tie the students to the digital system.38.If a student takes a course again, they may have to buy a new access code to submit theirassignments.39.McGraw Hill accounts for over one-fifth of t he market share of c ollege textbooks.40.Many traditional textbook publishers are now offering online digital products, which theybelieve will be thefuture of t he publishing business.41.One student complained that they now had to pay for access codes in addition to the hightuition.42.Digital materials can cost students less than half t he price of t raditional printed books accordingto a publisher.43.One student decided not to buy her access code until she received the pay for her part-time job.44.Online systems may deprive teachers of o pportunities to make the best use of th eir expertisefor their students.45.Digital access codes are criticized because they are profit-driven just like the textbook business. Section CDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice andmark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.For thousands of years, people have known that the best way to understand a concept is toexplain it to someone else. "While we teach, we learn," said Roman philosopher Seneca. Nowscientists are bringing this ancient wisdom up-to-date. They're documenting why teaching is sucha fruitful way to learn, and designing innovative ways for young people to engage in instruction.Researchers have found that students who sign up to tutor others work harder to understandthe material, recall it more accurately and apply it more effectively. Student teachers score higheron tests than pupils who're learning only for their own sake. But how can children, still learningthemselves, teach others? One answer: They can tutor younger kids, Some studies have found that frrst-bom children are more intelligent than their later-born siblings (兄弟姐妹）. This suggests their higher IQs result from the time they spend teaching their siblings. Now educators are experimenting with ways to apply this model to academic subjects. They engage college undergraduatesto teach computer science to high school students, who in turn instruct middle school students onthe topic.But the most cutting-edge tool under development is the "teachable agent"—a computerizedcharacter who learns, tries, makes mistakes and asks q uestions just like a real-world pupil. Computer scientists have created an animated (动画的）figure called Betty's Brain, who has been "taught" about environmental science by hundreds of middle school students. Student teachers aremotivated to help Betty master certain materials. W压le preparing to teach, they organize theirknowledge and improve their own understanding. And as they explain the information to it, theyidentify problems in their own thinking.Feedback from the teachable agents further enhances the tutors'learning. The agents'questions compel student tutors to think and explain the materials in different ways, and watching theagent solve problems allows them to see their knowledge put into action.Above all, it's the emotions one experiences in teaching that facilitate learning. Student tutorsfeel upset when their teachable agents fail, but happy when these virtual pupils succeed as theyderive pride and satisfaction from someone else's accomplishment.46.What are researchers rediscovering through their studies?A)Seneca's thinking is still applicable today.B)Better learners will become better teachers.C)Human intelligence tends to grow with age.D)Philosophical thinking improves instruction.47.What do we learn about Betty's Brain?A)It is a character in a popular animation.B)It is a teaching tool under development.C)It is a cutting-edge app in digital games.D)It is a tutor for computer science students.48.How does teaching others benefit student tutors?A)It makes them aware of what they are strong at.B)It motivates them to try novel ways of teaching.C)It helps them learn their academic subjects better.D)It enables them to better understand their teachers.49.What do students do to teach their teachable agents?A)They motivate them to think independently.B)They ask them to design their own q uestions.C)They encourage them to give prompt feedback.D)They use various ways to explain the materials.50.What is the key factor that eases student tutors'learning?eir emotlonal involvement.A)Their sense of responsibility.B)Th· C)The learning strategy acquired.D) Passage Two Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.The teaching expenence gained.A new batch of young women —members of the so-called Millennial (千禧的）generation —has been entering the workforce for the past decade. At the starting line of their careers, they arebetter educated than their mothers and grandmothers had been —or than their young male counterparts are now. But when they look ahead, they see roadblocks to their success. They believe thatwomen are paid less than men for doing the same job. They think it's easier for men to get topexecutive jobs than it is for them. And they assume that if and when they have children, itwi且beeven harder for them to advance in their careers.While the public sees greater workplace equality between men and women now than it did 20-30 years ago, most believe more change is needed. Among Millennial women, 75% say this country needs to continue making changes to achieve gender equality in the workplace, compared with57% of Millennial men. Even so, relatively few young women (15%) say they have been discriminated against at work because of their gender.As Millennial women come of age they share many of the same views and values about workas their male counterparts. They want jobs that provide security and flexibility, and they placerelatively little importance on high pay. At the same time, however, young working women are lesslikely than men to aim at top management jobs: 34% say they're not interested in becoming a bossor top manager; only 24% of young men say the same. The gender gap on this question is evenwider among working adults in their 30s and 40s, when many women face the trade-offs that gowith work and motherhood. These findings are based on a new Pew Research Center survey of 2 , 002 adults, including 8 l OMillennials (ages 18-32), conducted Oct. 7-27, 2013. The survey finds that, in spite of the dramatic gains women have made in educational attainment and labor force participation in recentdecades , young women view this as a man's world —j ustas middle-aged and older women do. 51.What do we learn from the frrst paragraph about Millennial women starting their careers?A)They can get ahead only by striving harder.B)They expect to succeed just like Millennial men.C)They are generally quite optimistic about their future.D)They are better educated than their male counterparts.52.How do most Millennial women feel about their treatment in the workplace?A)They are the target of discrimination.B)They find it satisfactory on the whole.C)They think it needs further improving.D)They find their complaints ignored.53.What do Millennial women value most when coming of age?A)A sense of accomplishment.B)Job stability and flexibility.C)Rewards and promotions.D)Joy derived from work.54.What are women in their 30s and 40s concerned about?A)The welfare of their children.B)The narrowing of the gender gap.C)The fulfillment of their dreams in life.D)The balance between work and family.55.What conclusion can be drawn about Millennial women from the 2013 survey?A)They still view this world as one dominated by males.B)They account for half the workforce in the j ob market.C)They see the world differently from older g enerations.D)They do better in work than their male counte rp arts.Part IV Translation (30 minutes) Directions : 的r this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage f rom Chinese into English.

They areused to create some of the energy used by the insurance company inside. When the tower wasfrrst 26 in 1962, it was covered with thin square stones. These small square stones becamea problem for the building and continued to fall off the face for 40 years until a major renovationwas 27 . During this renovation the building's owners, CIS, 28 the solar panel company, Solarcentury. They agreed to cover the entire building in solar panels. In 2004, the completed CIStower became Europe's largest 29 of vertical solar panels. A vertical solar project on such alarge 30 has never been repeated since.Covering a skyscraper with solar panels had never been done before ,and the CIS tower waschosen as one ofthe "10 best green energy projects" . For a long time after this renovation project, it was the tallest building in the United Kingdom, but it was 31 overtaken by the Millbank Tower.Green buildings like this aren't 32 cost-efficient for the investor, but it does produce muchless pollution than that caused by energy 33 through fossil fuels.

As universities go digital, students are complaining of anew hit to their finances that's replacing—and sometimes joining—expensive textbooks: priceyonline access codes that are required to complete coursework and submit assignments.B)The codes—which typically range in price from MYM80 to MYM155 per course—give students onlineaccess tosystems developed by education companies like McGraw Hill and Pearson. Thesecompanies, which long reaped big profits as textbook publishers, have boasted that their newonline offerings , when pushed to students through universities they partner with, represent thefuture of the industry.C)But critics say the digital access codes represent the same profit-seeking ethos (观念）of thetextbook business ,and are even harder for students to opt out of. W压le they could once buysecond-hand textbooks, or share copies with friends, the digital systems are essentially impossible to avoid.D)"When we talk about the access code we see it as the new face of the textbook monopoly (垄断），a new way tolock students around this system," said Ethan Senack, the higher educationadvocate for the U.S. Public Interest Research Group, to BuzzFeed News. "Rather than MYM250(for a print textbook) you're paying MYM120,"said Senack. " B ut because it's all digital it eliminates the used book market and eliminates any sharing and because homework and tests arethrough an access code, it eliminates any ability to opt out. "E)Sarina Harper, a 19-year-old student at Virginia Tech, was faced with a tough dilemma whenshe first startedcollege in 2015—pay rent or pay to tum in her chemistry homework. She toldBuzzFeed News that her freshman chemistry class required her to use Connect, a systemprovided by McGraw Hill where students can submit homework, take exams and track theirgrades. But the code to access the program cost MYM120—a big sum for Harper, who hadalready put down MYM450 for textbooks, and had rent day approaching.F)She decided to wait for her next work-study paycheck, which was typically MYM150-MYM200, topay for thecode. She knew that her chemistry grade may take a dive as a result. "It's abalancing act, "she said. " C an I really afford these access codes now?" She didn't hand in herfI T st two assignments for chemistry, which started her out in the class with a failing grade.G)The access codes may be another financial headache for students, but for textbook businesses, t hey're the future.McGraw Hill, which controls 21 %of the higher education market, reportedin March that its digital content sales exceeded print sales for the first time in 2015. Thecompany said that 45% of its MYM140 million revenue in 2015 "was derived from digital products. "H)A Pearson spokesperson told BuzzFeed News that "digital materials are less expensive and agood investment"that offer new features, like audio texts, personalized knowledge checks andexpert videos. Its digital course materials save students up to 60% compared to traditionalprinted textbooks, the company added. McGraw Hill didn't respond to a request for comment, b ut its CEO David Levin told the Financial Times in August that "in higher education ,the era ofthe printed textbook is now over. "I)The textbook industry insists the online systems represent a better deal for students. "Thesedigital products aren't just mechanisms for students to submit homework, they offer all kindsof features, "David Anderson, theexecutive director of higher education with the Associationof American Publishers, told BuzzFeed News. "It helps students understand in a way that youcan't do with print homework assignments. "J)David Hunt, an associate professor in sociology at Augusta University, which has rolled outdigital textbooks across its math and psychology departments, told BuzzFeed News that heunderstands the utility of u sing systems that require access codes. But he doesn't require hisstudents to buy access to a learning program that controls the class assignments. "I try tomake things as inexpensive as possible, "said Hunt, who uses free digital textbooks for hisclasses but designs his own curriculum. "The online systems may make my life a lot easier butl feel like I'm giving up control. The discussions are the things where my expertise can benefitthe students most. "K)A 20-year-old junior at Georgia Southern University told BuzzFeed News that she normallyspends MYM500-MYM600 on access codes for class. In one case, the professor didn't require students to buy a textbook, just an access code to tum in homework. This year she said she spentMYM900 on access codes to books and programs."That's two months of r ent," she said. "Youcan't sell any ofit back. With a traditional textbook you can sell it for MYM30-MYM50 and that helpsto pay for your new semester's books. With an access code, you're out of that money. "L)Benjamin Wolverton, a 19-year-old student at the University of South Carolina, told BuzzFeedNews that "it's ridiculous that after paying tens of thousands in tuition we have to pay for allthese access codes to do our homework. "Many of the access codes he's purchased havebeen required simply to complete homework or quizzes. "Often it's only 10% of y our grade inclass," he said. "You're paying so much money for something that hardly affects your grade—but if y ou didn't have it, it would affect your grade enough. It would be bad to start out at a Bor C." Wolverton said he spent MYM500 on access codes for digital books and programs thissemester.M)Harper, a poultry (家禽）science major, is taking chemistry again this year and had to buy anew access code to hand in her homework. She rented her economics and statistics textbooksfor about MYM20 each. But her access codes for homework, which can't be rented or boughtsecond-hand, were her most expensive purchases: MYM120 and MYM85.N)She still remembers the sting of h er frrst experience skipping an assignment due to the highprices. "We don't really have a missed assignment policy," she said. "If you miss it, you justmiss it. I just got zeros on a couple of frrst assignments. I managed to pull everything back up. B ut as a scared freshman looking at their grades, it's not fun."36.A student's yearly expenses on access codes may amount to their rent for two months.37.The online access codes may be seen as a way to tie the students to the digital system.38.If a student takes a course again, they may have to buy a new access code to submit theirassignments.39.McGraw Hill accounts for over one-fifth of t he market share of c ollege textbooks.40.Many traditional textbook publishers are now offering online digital products, which theybelieve will be thefuture of t he publishing business.41.One student complained that they now had to pay for access codes in addition to the hightuition.42.Digital materials can cost students less than half t he price of t raditional printed books accordingto a publisher.43.One student decided not to buy her access code until she received the pay for her part-time job.44.Online systems may deprive teachers of o pportunities to make the best use of th eir expertisefor their students.45.Digital access codes are criticized because they are profit-driven just like the textbook business. Section CDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice andmark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.For thousands of years, people have known that the best way to understand a concept is toexplain it to someone else. "While we teach, we learn," said Roman philosopher Seneca. Nowscientists are bringing this ancient wisdom up-to-date. They're documenting why teaching is sucha fruitful way to learn, and designing innovative ways for young people to engage in instruction.Researchers have found that students who sign up to tutor others work harder to understandthe material, recall it more accurately and apply it more effectively. Student teachers score higheron tests than pupils who're learning only for their own sake. But how can children, still learningthemselves, teach others? One answer: They can tutor younger kids, Some studies have found that frrst-bom children are more intelligent than their later-born siblings (兄弟姐妹）. This suggests their higher IQs result from the time they spend teaching their siblings. Now educators are experimenting with ways to apply this model to academic subjects. They engage college undergraduatesto teach computer science to high school students, who in turn instruct middle school students onthe topic.But the most cutting-edge tool under development is the "teachable agent"—a computerizedcharacter who learns, tries, makes mistakes and asks q uestions just like a real-world pupil. Computer scientists have created an animated (动画的）figure called Betty's Brain, who has been "taught" about environmental science by hundreds of middle school students. Student teachers aremotivated to help Betty master certain materials. W压le preparing to teach, they organize theirknowledge and improve their own understanding. And as they explain the information to it, theyidentify problems in their own thinking.Feedback from the teachable agents further enhances the tutors'learning. The agents'questions compel student tutors to think and explain the materials in different ways, and watching theagent solve problems allows them to see their knowledge put into action.Above all, it's the emotions one experiences in teaching that facilitate learning. Student tutorsfeel upset when their teachable agents fail, but happy when these virtual pupils succeed as theyderive pride and satisfaction from someone else's accomplishment.46.What are researchers rediscovering through their studies?A)Seneca's thinking is still applicable today.B)Better learners will become better teachers.C)Human intelligence tends to grow with age.D)Philosophical thinking improves instruction.47.What do we learn about Betty's Brain?A)It is a character in a popular animation.B)It is a teaching tool under development.C)It is a cutting-edge app in digital games.D)It is a tutor for computer science students.48.How does teaching others benefit student tutors?A)It makes them aware of what they are strong at.B)It motivates them to try novel ways of teaching.C)It helps them learn their academic subjects better.D)It enables them to better understand their teachers.49.What do students do to teach their teachable agents?A)They motivate them to think independently.B)They ask them to design their own q uestions.C)They encourage them to give prompt feedback.D)They use various ways to explain the materials.50.What is the key factor that eases student tutors'learning?eir emotlonal involvement.A)Their sense of responsibility.B)Th· C)The learning strategy acquired.D) Passage Two Questions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.The teaching expenence gained.A new batch of young women —members of the so-called Millennial (千禧的）generation —has been entering the workforce for the past decade. At the starting line of their careers, they arebetter educated than their mothers and grandmothers had been —or than their young male counterparts are now. But when they look ahead, they see roadblocks to their success. They believe thatwomen are paid less than men for doing the same job. They think it's easier for men to get topexecutive jobs than it is for them. And they assume that if and when they have children, itwi且beeven harder for them to advance in their careers.While the public sees greater workplace equality between men and women now than it did 20-30 years ago, most believe more change is needed. Among Millennial women, 75% say this country needs to continue making changes to achieve gender equality in the workplace, compared with57% of Millennial men. Even so, relatively few young women (15%) say they have been discriminated against at work because of their gender.As Millennial women come of age they share many of the same views and values about workas their male counterparts. They want jobs that provide security and flexibility, and they placerelatively little importance on high pay. At the same time, however, young working women are lesslikely than men to aim at top management jobs: 34% say they're not interested in becoming a bossor top manager; only 24% of young men say the same. The gender gap on this question is evenwider among working adults in their 30s and 40s, when many women face the trade-offs that gowith work and motherhood. These findings are based on a new Pew Research Center survey of 2 , 002 adults, including 8 l OMillennials (ages 18-32), conducted Oct. 7-27, 2013. The survey finds that, in spite of the dramatic gains women have made in educational attainment and labor force participation in recentdecades , young women view this as a man's world —j ustas middle-aged and older women do. 51.What do we learn from the frrst paragraph about Millennial women starting their careers?A)They can get ahead only by striving harder.B)They expect to succeed just like Millennial men.C)They are generally quite optimistic about their future.D)They are better educated than their male counterparts.52.How do most Millennial women feel about their treatment in the workplace?A)They are the target of discrimination.B)They find it satisfactory on the whole.C)They think it needs further improving.D)They find their complaints ignored.53.What do Millennial women value most when coming of age?A)A sense of accomplishment.B)Job stability and flexibility.C)Rewards and promotions.D)Joy derived from work.54.What are women in their 30s and 40s concerned about?A)The welfare of their children.B)The narrowing of the gender gap.C)The fulfillment of their dreams in life.D)The balance between work and family.55.What conclusion can be drawn about Millennial women from the 2013 survey?A)They still view this world as one dominated by males.B)They account for half the workforce in the j ob market.C)They see the world differently from older g enerations.D)They do better in work than their male counte rp arts.Part IV Translation (30 minutes) Directions : 的r this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage f rom Chinese into English.
