2012年专四作文范文篇一:2010年专四真题作文范文2010年专四作文真题: Should College Students Hire Cleaners?(大学生是否应该雇佣清洁工)——关于大学生的生活独立Direction:It is recently reported in a newspaper that six students who shared a dorm at a local university hired a cleaner to do laundry and cleaning once a week. And each of them paid her 60 yuan a month. This has led to a heated debate as to whether college students should hire cleaners.Write a composition of about 200 words on the following topic:Should College Students Hire Cleaners?You are to write in three parts:In the first part, state clearly what your view is.In the second part, support your view with appropriate reasons.In the last part, bring what you have written to a natural conclusion or a summary.Marks will be awarded for content, organization, grammar and appropriateness. Failure to follow the instructions may result in a loss of marks.Should college students hire cleaners?When it comes to whether college students should hire cleaners to help do laundry and cleaning or not, different people hold different views. Some believe that it is a bargain to get more convenience for less money. But most consider it harmful to the comprehensive development of college students. I do agree with the latter.To start withthey survive properly in the society? Hardly have they known how to earn money, when they begin to know it is extremely wrong to hire cleaners to do the laundry and cleaning. It is not the money itself but the idea that matters. This phenomenon is not a good atmosphere, because university is a place where the students should be cultivated comprehensively. Besides, promote rather than abandon such virtue. Finallyin their whole life.To sum up, college students should not hire cleaners for any reason. Do it yourself. It costs no money. It costs little time which you may spend on game or shopping.篇二:2012年英语专四作文Should Private Car Owners be Taxed for PollutionWith the rapid development of the economy,more and more people have their own car.As there are more and more private cars, we are facing many serious problems.The biggest problem isenvironmental pollution.To solve this problem, government agencies in some big cities suggest that we should use pollution tax to control the number of the private cars and reduce the environmental pollution.I agree to this suggestion.Here are my reasons.First,cars is one of the elements of environmental pollution.In many cities in China,cars pollute the environment, so the owners of the private car have the responsibility to pay the tax to protect the environment;Besides,paying the tax can raise people’s environmental awareness.In our world,tax is a very important and necessary way to standard people’s behavior.People should also improve their own quality and use less car.Because of this,it will be less pollution. Our government also should set up a law to collect taxes.I do believe our country will be better if we do this.篇三:历年专四作文范文96 TEM4 SECTION A COMPOSITION[35 MIN]Write on ANSWER SHEET ONE a composition of about 150 words on the following topic:Every college student would agree that life in college is not the same as it was in the middle school. Now, you have been asked by the Students' Union to write a passage entitled:THE MAIN DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MY COLLEGE LIFE AND MY MIDDLE SCHOOL LIFE as part of an introduction programme for new students coining in September.You are to write in three paragraphs.In the first paragraph, state clearly what you think the main difference between college and middle school life.In the second paragraph, state which life you prefer and why.In the last paragraph, bring what you have, written to a natural conclusion with a summary or suggestion.Marks will be awarded far content, organization, grammar and appropriacy. Failure to follow the instructions may result in a loss of marks.参考样文The Main Difference Between My College Life and My Middle School LifeAs every college student would agree,life in college is different from that in middle sch001.In my opinion.the main difference lies in the fact that we enjoy more independence at college.As far as I?m concerned,I prefer the college life to the middle school life.For one thing,I live on my own:wash my own clothes,buy my own food,looking myself.I make my daily decisions of my own will.For another,I depend heavily on myself in my study.Ihave plenty of free time outside the classroom.In order to achieve academic success,I can derive as much from the teachers? lectures as from my own diligence.In the absence of pressure from both the college and the family,I must have a workableplan of my own.To sum up,I live a quite different life at college from that in my middle school in that I am much more responsible for my own life and study.To those newcomers,1 would suggest they break away from their parents? tender care and stand on their own feet.97 TEM4 SECTION A COMPOSITION[35 MIN]Write a composition of about 150 words on the following topic: Some of your classmates think that more pressure from academic studies is not beneficial to students. You either agree or disagree with them.MORE PRESSURE FROM ACADEMIC STUDIES DOES (OR DOES NO) GOOD TO USYou are to write in three paragraphs.In the first paragraph state clearly what your view is.In the second paragraph, support your view with details.In the last paragraph, bring what you have written to a natural conclusion with a summary or suggestion.Marks will be awarded for content, organization, grammar andappropriacy. Failure to follow the instructions may result in a loss of marks.参考样文More Pressure From Academic Studies Does No Good to UsIt is believed one of the main problems with today's education is that too much emphasis is placed on test scores. It has become the most important criterion for college eollment. A student, however creative and intelligent, will not be admitted into a college, for assignment or in employment competitions if his/her test scores are not high enough. Therefore, students are faced with more and more pressure from academic studies. In my opinion, this is harmful for students' overall development.First, the competition for high scores among students becomes intense. Students find themselves concentrating more on strategies to achieve high scores than on acquiring the knowledge. They will play truant of some subsidiary courses, skip over the substance which will not be tested on. Second, teachers are apt to give their students high scores. As their job is judged mainly by students' performance in terms of scores, some teachers tend to set easy papers to test their students on or narrow down the scope of the exam, even give them the hints to exams, or favor their students with high scores.In fact, times are different. The criteria for good college students are changing now. It is tree that good marks continue to be some students' dream, yet there are a growing number of students who are concerned much more about things other than academic achievement. Job market demands personnel with both intelligent and non-intelligent qualities. Therefore, students today should be better prepared for challenges and competition upon graduation.98 TEM4 SECTION A COMPOSITION[35 MIN]It is now generally accepted that vehicles (cars, trucks, etc.) are a major source of air pollution in cities. You are to suggest only ONE way to solve the problem.Write on ANSWER SHEET ONE a composition of about 150 words on the following topic:ONE WAY TO SOLVE THE PROBLEMYou are to write in three paragraphs.In the first paragraph, state what your suggested way is.In the second paragraph, state one or two advantages of your suggestion.In the last paragraph, bring what you have written to a natural conclusion.Marks will be awarded for content, organization, grammar and appropriacy. Failure to follow the instructions may result in a loss ofmarks.One Way to Solve the ProblemToo many vehicles, such as cars, tracks, motorcycles, have created a lot of serious problems in our world. Besides congestion, accidents and fast fuel consumption, they are responsible for a good part of air pollution in big dries. All the time, the vehicles are pumping huge amounts of waste gases into the atmosphere. These gases are harmful, causing disease and even death.One possible solution that may reduce air pollution created by so many vehicles is to develop modem public transportation systems and restrict the use of private cars. If the price of petrol rises constantly and the public vehicles are efficient and convenient enough, most people will not have private cars. And the total number of cars in big cities will reduce greatly. People would find more room to walk, to jog, to perform what they used to do in the open air. Moreover, dirt, noise exhaust, parked cars, and smog would decrease greatly.There is no inherent incompatibility between man in an urban setting and the automobile. But we don't want cars to seize our living space. We take for granted that everyone could enjoy the pleasure of stretching his legs freely, breathing and sniffing the air cheerfully. On the whole, the elimination of air pollution needs theco-efforts from the government, the public and the environments.We see advertisements on television every day. Some people think that TV advertising brings us benefits, hut others don ?t think so. What is your opinion? Write on ANSWER SHEET ONE a composition of about 150 words on the following topic:A MAJOR ADVANTAGE / DISADVANTAGE OF ADVERTISING ON TELEVISION You are to write in three paragraphs.In the first paragraph, state just ONE major advantage or disadvantage of TV adv ertising. In the second paragraph, give one or two reasons to support your point of view. In the last paragraph, bring what you have written to a natural conclusion. Marks will he awarded forcontent, organization, grammar and appropriacy. Failur e to follow the instructions may result in a loss of marks.参考范文:A Major Advantage of Advertising on Television Nowadays we can see advertisements on Television every day. Some people believe thatadvertising on television can bring us benefits, but others don?t think so. In my opinion, I am in favor of the advertising on television.There are two reasons, I think, for the growing number ofadvertisement on TV. First, in acompetitive economy, the consumer usually has the choice of several different brands of the same product. Thus, manufacturers are confronted with a problem—How to keep sales high enough to stay in business. They solve this problem by advertising. Through advertising, each manufacturing company tries to convince consumers that its product is special. Second, most consumers are interested in advertisement. They wish to get from TV advertisement thefirst As a result, there is a sharp increase in advertisement on the TV screen.In conclusion, TV advertising plays a very important role in our economic behavior. With2000 TEM4 SECTION A COMPOSITION[35 MIN]Write on ANSWER SHEET ONE a composition of about 150 words on the following topic: College life should be varied and colourful. And extracurricular activities are an important aspectof it. However, at present, there is much room for improvement in this regard. Write an article to the university radio entitled:The Importance of Extracurricular Activities In the first part of your article you should clearly present your view, and in the second part you should support your opinion with appropriatedetails. In the last part you should bring what you have written to a natural conclusion or summary. Marks will be awarded for content, organization, grammar and appropriacy. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks.The Importance of Extracurricular ActivitiesDear Editor,People have different ideas about how students should spend their school days. Some believe that students s(本文来自: 千叶帆文摘:2012年专四作文范文)hould spend the whole day on academic studies. Others believe that extracurricular activities should be a required part of every school day. I think both ways have their advantages. But I prefer the latter. As a student, our main task is to concentrate on our academic study. We have to attend classes, reading books and doing assignments. Only by working hard can we learn our courses well. But I don?t think we should spend every hour and minute on academic study. A proverb says, “All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.”Without good health and strong body, how can we improve our study efficiency and make great achievements in our academic study? Besides, spending the whole day on academic study may make us exhausted and weak. We should find other meaningful things to do besides studying. For example, doingextracurricular activities can make students? life more colorful and beneficial. There are various forms of exercise. My favorite one is football. I play football with my classmates for one hour every afternoon. After a day?s hard work, how nice it is to stretch my arms and legs! By playing football I?ve got both joy and strength. I always look energetic.Actually doing extracurricular activities doesn?t disturb our study if we make full use of our time. Instead it does help us study more efficiently. We can be good at learning as well as extracurricular activities. So I suggest that students do extracurricular activities along with their academic studies.Yours Sincerely,Tom Smith2001年专四作文真题:Travel Broadens the Mind 年专四作文真题:(旅游开阔人的视野)——关于旅游Direction::Travel has become part of our life. And more and more of us have come to know the significance of travel through our own experience.Write a composition of about 200 words on the following topic: Travel Broadens the Mind You are to write in three parts:In the first part, state clearly what your view is.In the second part, support your view with appropriate reasons.In the last part, bring what you have written to a natural conclusion or a summary.Marks will be awarded for content, organization, grammar and appropriateness. Failure to follow the instructions may result in a loss of marks. 写作指南:这是给定观点型的考题,要求考生以这个给定的观点作为文章的中心思想(论给定观点型点)进行论证。
四级英语作文预测范文(十五篇精选)文凭与知识Directions: Write a composition entitled Knowledge and Diploma. You should write at least 120 words according to the outline given below in Chiness.1.目前,在社会上有这样的一种说法,文凭越高越吃香;2.而有些人则认为文凭不等于知识;3.你的观点。
参考范文:Knowledge and DiplomaWith the development of the society, more and more people enroll in the postgraduate examination for getting a higher diploma.Most companies are inclined to hire the people with high diploma.However,is it really true that high diploma equals to high ability or profound knowledge? Some people do not agree on this kind of idea.They claim that ability or knowledge means more than diploma.Take Bill Gates, the head of the microsoft,for example,he does not have an MBA degree which is believed to play a vital role in the success in commercial life. Furthermore,Sam Walton of Wal-Mart Stores Inc. does not have an MBA degree,but he is the most successful man in the business community.In my opinion,diploma is not equal to knowledge.A diploma is a piece of paper which establishes your education degree.But your ability and the real knowledge come from yourhard work and endowment.If you got a diploma by dishonest behavior,no matter how high a diploma it is,it is just a piece of paper,and you are as blank as that paper.随着社会的发展,越来越多的人为获得更高的学历而参加研究生考试。

It's so much faster and easier to stay in touch with our friends and family.Next, let's think about how technology has affected our education. We can now access so much information online, which helps us with our homework and research. We can also take online classes and learn new things without even leaving our house.And don't forget about how technology has changed our entertainment. We can stream movies and shows on platforms like Netflix, listen to music on Spotify, and play games on our phones. It's so convenient to have all these options right at our fingertips.But, we also need to think about the negative effects of technology. Some people spend too much time on their devices and forget to interact with others in real life.

四级写作押题——2024 年6 月议论文——话题类(管理时间的重要性)As we all know, time is eternal while human is mortal. So being precious though, time is relentless to everyone. If you want to spend a meaningful life, you have to learn time management. Just as the saying goes.To choose time is to save time. Firstly, time management saves you much time via figuring out the priority or the most time-consuming task of a day, thus greatly boosting your work efficiency. Secondly, time management enables you to make full use of the fragments of time so that you can get hold of large amounts of information and knowledge. Reciting English words while waiting for a bus is a good example. Last but not least, you will gain self-assurance and elegance from your systematical schedule.In a word, compared with those who have no idea of time management, a person with good time arrangement will have higher work efficiency and an organized life.议论文——现象类(如何解决大学生心理疾病)Mental disease has recently arisen as one of the essential issues which may lead to some severe consequences such as depressive disorder and interpersonal conflicts. Strikingly, this is becoming increasingly common and eye-catching.This phenomenon could be attributed to three reasons. Firstly, facing a great amount of academic pressure, quite a few college students are not able to relieve the severe stress, which could gradually transform into mental disease. Secondly, due to a rapid shift in roles, most students have to take responsibility of taking care of themselves, so it is increasingly challenging for them to deal with all troublesome issues in daily life. Lastly, lacking of interpersonal skills, they may easily get involved in conflicts with others and the resulting chronic unhappiness will finally lead to mental disease.Urgent measures are needed to deal with this severe issue. Courses related to mental health should be well planned and offered on campus which may enable students to be more aware of their psychological states. Moreover, more sports and recreational activities should be launched so as to enrich students’ extracurricular life and provide more opportunities for them to build harmoniousinterpersonal relationship.议论文——谚语类(学习必须循序渐进)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay commenting on the saying “Learning has to be acquired gradually.” You can cite examples to illustrate the importance of making minute and down-to-earth efforts. You should write at least 120 words, but no more than 180 words.“Learning has to be acquired gradually” is a nice old saying which has proved its meaning by hundred percent. Evidently, it is meant to tell us that we should try our best to seize every minute and study in a down-to-earth manner.Numerous instances can be given to illustrate this point. For one thing, as college students, apart from club activities, social practice and social activities, the time left for us to learn is limited, so we should seize every opportunity to do it well. In other words, we should listen to every lecture carefully and submit our assignments on time and with high quality. For another, only by earnestly completing each small learning task, can knowledge be slowly accumulated and our own learning system be formed.To conclude, step after step the ladder is ascended. If we can turn the proverb into actions, we are more likely to enjoy a more effective way to learn.议论文——话题类(虚拟现实)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay on virtual reality. You can start your essay with the sentence “Virtual reality is becoming increasingly popular”. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.Nowadays, the use of virtual reality is becoming increasingly popular, which has captured wide attention about its benefits and drawbacks. Every coin has two sides. I think that the advantages overweigh the disadvantages.To begin with, virtual reality technology is a computer simulation system that can create andlet us experience the virtual world, which has brought a lot of convenience to our life. For instance, virtual reality can take us to places we can’t reach in real life, such as any domestic and foreign tourist attractions, even outer space, or newly created illusory scenes. This will greatly enrich our imagination and broaden our horizons. Additionally, in fact, virtual reality has been applied in the fields of film and television, education, military and aerospace. The virtual scenes it provides save a lot of real money.All in all, the continuous development of virtual reality opens up a bright future for us. We can enjoy the fruits of this technological advance as long as we can use it reasonably and flexibly.议论文——现象类(学业与兼职的关系)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on how to best handle the relationship between studies and part-time jobs. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.There is no doubt that the relationship between studies and part-time jobs can exert a great influence on academic performance and personal growth of the students. And a healthy and positive relationship requires our untiring efforts.On the one hand, as college students, we should understand that the significance of study is above all else. That is to say, we should not allow any other activities to occupy our time in class, and we are also supposed to set aside enough time for self-study. On the other hand, part-time jobs are also very important for college students, which can enrich our resumes. As a result, we’d better find some part-time jobs that are related to our future work direction, preferably with flexible hours.In brief, the key to balancing the relationship between studies and part-time jobs is to strengthen our own time management skills. Only by doing so, can we maintain a healthy and positive study-work relationship, which is beneficial to college students.应用文——电子邮件(邀请外教当辩论赛评委)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an e-mail to invite a foreign teacher in your college to be a judge for the upcoming English debate competition.

Unhealthy Lifestyles of University Students1.不少大学生的生活方式消极,不上课,不运动,不出去社交,而是宅在家里或宿舍,导致知识水平下降的同时身体素质也在下降。
2.你对此有什么看法和建议?【范文】In recent years, many university students would like to stay at home or dormitory rather than to attend compulsory courses, take exercises or join in social activities. This kind of unhealthy lifestyle will do harm to their physical conditions to some extend, and reduce their scope of knowledge.Unhealthy lifestyles of university students are caused by their reversed biological clock, addiction to computer games, irregular dietary structure, all kinds of competition pressures, and so on. To improve this way of life, joined efforts are needed. As to universities, they should hold the idea “health comes first” and educate students to conscientiously observe the rules of discipline and study hard. Parents should cooperate with universities by creating comfortable atmosphere at home. Most importantly, university students themselves should form good habits and healthy interests, take extracurricular activities positively and do exercises regularly.【点评】文章开门见上,指出大学生的不良生活方式,简单提及其危害。
1. CatIt was plain that the cat knew the rules of her name perfectly well, and enjoyed it keenly. It was equally plain that the fly could not make head or tail of what it was all about. If it had been able to do so it would have gone to play in the upper part of the window, where the cat could not reach it. Perhaps it was always hoping to get through the glass, and escape that way; anyhow, it kept pretty much to the same pane, no matter how often it was rolled. At last, however, the fly, for some reason or another, did not reappear on the pane, and the cat began looking everywhere to find it. Her annoyance when she failed to do so was extreme. It was not only that she had lost her fly, but that she could not conceive how she should ever have come to do so. Presently she noted a small knot in the woodwork of the sill, and it flashed upon her that she had accidentally killed the fly, and that this was its dead body. She tried to move it gently with her paw, but it was no use, and for the time she satisfied herself that the knot and the fly had nothing to do with one another. Every now and then, however, she returned to it as if it were the only thing she could think of, and she would try again. She seemed to sayshe was certain there had been no knot there before---she must have seen it if there had been; and yet, the fly could hardly have got jammed so firmly into the wood. She was puzzled and irritated beyond measure, and kept looking in the same place again and again, just as we do when we have mislaid something. She was rapidly losing temper and dignity when suddenly we saw the fly reappear from under the cat‟s sto mach and make for the windowpane, at the very moment when the cat herself was exclaiming for the fiftieth time that she wondered where that stupid fly ever could have got do. No man who has been hunting twenty minutes for his spectacles could be more delighted when he suddenly finds them on his own forehead. “So that‟s where you were,” we seemed to hear her say,as she proceeded to catch it, and again began rolling it very softly without hurting it, under her paw.---Samuel Butler,“Thought and Language”, Collected Essays, Vol. II2. There Is Love When We GiveThere were two fish in the desert and the water which they lived on was absorbed slowly but relentlessly. But just at this moment, one of them went so far as to spit to moisten his fellow fish. In this way he sped his own death to increase the other‟s life. There was love when the two fish shared happiness and pain.One doctor who taught in the university went to a small village in Taiwan. He saved a poor villager‟s life, but he asked for no money. That villager went back home and cut a heap of wood. Then he walked day and night to town and put the wood in front of the doctor‟s door. He did not know a heap of wood is no use in modern life, and it looked as if his toil had gone to waste. However, every time the doctor told the story to someone else, he always said: “This is the most precious present I have received in my life.” There is love when our values are put above money.Love is always beautiful at first. A boy and a girl fell in love at first sight. They loved each other deeply, but one day, the girl told the boy light that she had fallen in love with another young man, and she would marry him and go to another country. Before leaving, she said coldly: “Marriage is very important for a girl, and I would not marryto a skins man!” From then on, the boy and the girl did not get in touch with each other. After a few years, the boy had become a successful man. He had money, home and company, but he could not forget the girl although she was so hardhearted. One say when he was driving in the street, he came across the girl‟s mother. He followed her and just wanted to prove he was not down and out any longer. But a last, he was surprised to find that she was going to a cemetery. She stood in front of a gravestone. The girl was smiling to him on the photograph. Her mother told the boy she gad cancer, so she had told a lie to him in order to let him forget her. Tears dropped from his face. There was love when the girl told a beautiful lie at the eleventh hour in her life.Love is giving, not receiving. Giving is more joyous than receiving, not because it is a deprivation, but because in the act of giving lies the expression of one‟s aliveness. When we live, we love; when we love, we give.3. Love Makes the World Go AroundNot long after I entered Peking University, I saw many societies publicizing themselves, ready to take in new blood in the well-known place called Triangle Area. I was attracted by them and went for a closer look.Love Society? I knew it was one of the two most famous student societies in Peking University. So I decided to join.I am always deeply moved by the stories of disabled people which are not from novels but from the real life. These heroes lived around us; yet, I had not paid much attention to them until one day I caught sight of a one-legged girl holding a stick while walking to the library. You can imagine how many difficulties she had to face, but she finally had come to Beida and fulfilled her dream. She is heroine in our real life.So I joined the handicapped-helping department in Love Society, wishing to do some useful work for disabled people and learn from them.After s short period ,words came that some students in Beijing School for the Blind would visit our college, and I was chosen to be their guild. I was so glad to have the chance to communicate with blind children that I preparedwell for the day coming.On one sunny afternoon, the children came with big smiles. You could not even tell whether they were blind or not because everyone was so lively and happy as healthy boys and girls. I made myself known to a blind girl named San, and she told me that she was learning piano and kneading then. The Yanyuan Campus was so beautiful but she couldn‟t see. I took her hand and led her to feel the old trees, the big bell in the gloriette, the statue of our former school master, Mr. CaiYuanpei, and all the things she could reach. I told the stories about every famous place in the history of Beida. We seemed to have forgotten the passing of time.From then on, I began to understand those disabled people ——they won‟t let self-contempt occupy their hearts, they are holding an active attitude towards life, and they are hoping to have a better future just as we do. And I want to make friends with more disabled people, because I know love, only love can make the world go around.4. Yesterday Once MoreIt is now the sweetest season, if not right, the best time of the year.It is May, the end of spring and the beginning of summer. The sky is cloudless; the sun shines bright and warm; the songs of birds, and myriads of catkin, fill the air.Right now I am by the lake, missing you. The sparkles the shining sun throws on the surface of the water draws my attention and lead me into the days we shared together.Do you still remember? We met with each other in the same season——the end of spring and the beginning of the summer. I never thought there would be a girl who understood me even more than myself, until I met you.We were by the lake that day when the naughty wind brought my hat away. “A lovely hat.” You picked it up and gave it to me, smiling. What a light smile, and how beautiful it was! I knew, from that moment, we could have our story.Then came summer. Trees and grass presented their ever-changing shades of deep rich green. We would stroll by the lake, hand in hand, talking and laughing. Our voice quavered with excitement. Flowers in my heart bloomedlittle by little when your benign and deep eyes, and your smart and shining smile surrounded me.And then came the autumn and winter wherein we shared our sorrow and joy together. And then the next year, and the year that followed … Golden time, wasn‟t it?… But now you are not by my side, maybe you‟ll never be back again. You are too far from me, too far to reach, except in my repeated dreams.Every other moment I ever enjoyed has vanished into the air, but the moment we shared together is enduring. It is just like the little drop of water on the petal we ever found in the morning. Tiny as it is, it magnifies the stripe of the petal; fragile as it is, it shines with the sunshines; brittle as it is, it reflects the whole of the blue sky.5. OICQThe Internet has fundamentally changed pour lives. Among the various things we can do on the Interne, OICQ, which satisfies the man‟s innate desire for communication, is the most popular.Thanks to the rapid development of moderntechnology, we could easily get touch with our old friends in virtually every corner of the earth‟s surface through OICQ, far more convenient and less expensive than the traditional ways of communication. We optimistically believe this ongoing technique will become more accurate and more perfect.Furthermore, talking with strangers is a very exciting and curious experience. If you are lucky, you can confront some interesting people. As you are not able to see the other person, thought appears to be the only attracting factor in the chat. It seems easier and more direct for people to exchange ideas. As we all know, none of us could experience all kinds of life within the confines of time and space. Hence we may learn divergent ways of, living and different attitudes towards life through chatting with others who come from different backgrounds and have their own particular experiences. OICQ offers a good approach to enhance knowledge.Everything has two sides. Although OICQ helps us escape the complexity, burdens and tensions of reality temporarily, everyone must inoculate himself against the negative effect on OICQ. Some people are so engulfed inthis illusory world that they ignored their daily study or work. Somebody has posited that what one says might not be consistent with what one veritably is. A joke puts it this way. The person you are talking to might be a clever dog that can type. The Internet has undermined the individual‟s bonding to practical life.In brief, we should keep equilibrium between illusory environment and real life. One ineculatable conclusion is that OICQ‟s advantages far outweigh the disadvantage.6. What Has the Internet Brought?Today in the information era, the Internet has brought us human beings efficiency, as well as convenience. In almost every field, we use the Internet to communicate and share information with others. No matter where we are, we can easily keep ourselves well informed of the world‟s latest advances and news. It is the Internet that has provided us with a quick and simple way to keep up with the worl d‟s developments.Through electronic communication, the Internet has increased our efficiency by saving us a great deal of timeand money. With the emergence of the Internet, our daily communication has taken on a new look. We no longer have to go to the post office to send our letters, but can just sit in front of the screen to send the e-mail. All these can be finished in several minutes, and the receiver can get them in few seconds. How efficient it is! Another case in point is that working at home has become more and more popular, which has helped the companies increase their efficiency. The boss can even have a net meeting on the Internet so as to save time for his employees to gather in the meeting room. The Internet is increasing our life pace just like an accelerator.Apart from efficiency, the Internet has simultaneously provided convenience to us by means of shared information. From international news to mp3 music, anything we can think of can be shared on the net. All we need to do is click the mouse and download the information. Also, we can do banking and shopping on the net, which can save us the trouble of going to the bank or the shop. Moreover, on-line library has made it easier for us to get information from all sorts of libraries, including the biggest and most famous ones. The Internet has turned our dream of learning fromthe world into a reality. We can't help thinking how convenient it is. Thanks to the Internet, our daily life is becoming more and more convenient.Given the fact that every coin has two sides, the Internet is not an exception. It has brought something filthy, too. One of the most famous criminals on the net may be the hacker. However, on the whole, the Internet is of great help and importance to mankind. We are living in a world full of changes. Only with the help of the Internet can we keep up with the changes. We have every reason to be grateful to the Internet, which has brought us a new style of life full of efficiency and convenience.7. Art and Real LifeIt is said that in real life, artists are always incapable. For an artist, the problems of real life are so boring and puzzling. In face of these problems, their intelligence has only been used in one field, delicate but too narrow. Art becomes an anchor point of artists where they can escape the unendurable real life. They not only can stay in it, but also enjoy it. Art is their haven, full of colors, light, soundsand imagination. But in my opinion, art should not be separated so clearly from life.Firstly, life is the root of art. All the artists make their work out of their own experience. They add their feelings to the work of art, maybe joyful, maybe sad.Secondly, art can be help make the beauty of life. Though the styles of Rembrandt and Degas are different, they both would turn a direct scene, which might be ugly and disappointing, such as an exhausted worker or an old lady, into a beautiful picture. Just an Walter Horatio said that in that short distance, the world is full of brightness, colors and music. If you can enjoy the beauty of art, you can make your life filled with endless happiness.Thirdly, art can clarify and explain life. In our daily lives, similar situations bring similar reactions. Our feelings became duller and duller. But in a clearly organized artistic novel or drama, our feelings recover and switch into very strong ones. It appears that the contradictions of real life are fiercer than art can express. That is true, but we cannot experience all the contradictions. Daily life always brings us dull and shallow feelings. The tragedy Hamlet clarifies and also deepens those exciting events that happen in thesituations familiar to us. Many people feel that it is literature, not life itself, that makes them understand their own plain affections.Man cannot live only on bread. With the help of art, people not only recognize but also learn to experience the deeper affections in life. Art makes life artistic.8. My View of MusicIn the text The Model Millionaire, Alan Trevor, an artist, said that an artist‟s business is to realize the world as he sees it, not to make it better. I think it is true though I do not agree with his other viewpoints. What is more, not only an artist but also a musician should do his work according to reality. Let‟s appreciate a song named Scarborough Faire. It is a classical song from a classical film, The Graduate. The following is the first part of the song.Are you going to Scarborough FairParsley, sage, rosemary and thymeRemember me to one who lives thereShe once was a true love of mineAs we know, the writer repeated the sentence Parsley, sage, rosemary and thyme. And the singers lengthened the word sage and thyme. The word sage is not only a name of a kind of herb but also means wise person. And the word thyme sounds like time. As we can see, the title of the song can be separated like this: Scar-Borrow- Fair meaning TIME IS FAIR.The song was written in the late 1960‟s. the background is the Vietnam War. The song is about an ordinary soldier who died in the war. He would not be able to return home he had thought of day and night. And he would not be able to share love with his sweetheart. Thousands and thousands of ordinary soldiers like him were killed in the war. It was the fault of government and time will prove it.I think it is the most suitable example to tell how a musician can express the reality in his work. With the explanations I have made, you can make the song Scarborough Faire touch depth of your heart on a silent night. I promise you will enjoy it.9. Human’s EnemyNot long ago, I saw some pictures in a magazine, and they shocked me. The title of one picture was “The Last Trip”. In the picture, two African nurses were helping a woman into a wheelchair. The woman was only 28 years old, and had three children. But, in her eyes, there was not any sign of happiness, no spark of life, no hope of the future. There were only helplessness, pain and despair. In that wheelchair, away from her children, from her family, she was to enter another home, the home for dying AIDS patients, and there she would go on her last trip in her life.In another picture, boys were living on a corner. Many of them had lost their parents to AIDS; some had lost one and been rejected by a step-parent.As is shown in the pictures, AIDS is taking away lives in Sub-Saharan Africa, swallowing families and communities. In fact, since the AIDS epidemic began in the late 1970s, seventeen million Africans have died, and of them, more than 3.7 million were children. An estimated 8.8% of adults in Africa are infected with AIDS, and in some countries, the percentages are unimaginably high. For example, in Botswana 36%, in Swaziland 25%, in SouthAfrica 20% are infected. Not only in Africa, but also AIDS has spread to every continent, but the situation in Africa is much more serious.In some ways, human beings were very strong before the enemy AIDS. Why have they become so vulnerable? Human beings have invented so many arms that the earth can be easily destroyed. But, till now, why can‟t they find some ways to save just one person from AIDS? Why is the seat for the scientist who defeats the AIDS still empty? Is AIDS itself the only reason? Why has this disease spread all over the world? And why so much more in Africa?When can human being be really equal, even before disease?We often like to ask such questions, but we can‟t get answers. Maybe someday when we have defeated our enemy AIDS, the answer will be right there before us.10. Save Our ForestFew things are as important to us human beings as forest. They function as the lungs of the earth, feeding the fires that keep us warm, providing shelter, food, medicineand even clothing for us. They feast our eyes with charming scenery, nourish our health with fresh air and even help shape our spiritual horizons. So generous and indispensable are they that their green color has become a sign of life and hope throughout the world.However, there are also few things that we take so little care of as we do the forest. We build up all sorts of industries and called them civilization, ignoring damages done to the trees. We level large areas of forest on the pretext of agriculture. We invest our forests in so-called fast development and enclose ourselves in the concrete jungles, being blind to the costs. But how can we shirk our responsibilities? Forests, which can hardly revive once lost, are now disappearing at great speeding the world.We do need to wake up from our self-centered dreams now, since none of us can be spared the guilt if we finally turn forests in fossils. We must always remember that forests are on loan to us by the future, and we thus owe to later generations living forests instead of marble memories. Fortunately, there is still time, though limited, to repent from our evil doings. According to an ancient Chinese saying, “It is never too late to fix your stablesbefore all the sheep are gone.”11. Behind the Back of “Fashion” LabelWhen referring to the te rm “fashion”, one can naturally conjure up the general street wear. Maybe the stage of fashion show will unfold in front of your eyes _____ you are right, absolutely, to put “fashion” in perspective. It reflects the general tendency to life-enjoyment, personal values, communicative attitudes, etc. it seems to be a complexion, mixed up and often in conflict with each other by individual pursuit. So to speak, it quietly forms the social atmosphere. Thus much is left for us to follow up.Fashion may be a custom, or even the transformed tradition. History isn‟t contrary to fashion itself from head to toe. The latter evolves from the former, adding to it many creative ideas. As a symbol of one‟s style, fashion is more specific; it creeps up to the truth of life, meanwhile, makes some room for any “romantic” thought. Each fashion will fade away, but the connection between them boasts every shining bit of human history.Therefore, fashion is thought to be perfect _____ the spotlight over certifies. You may hold this point of view. But sorry, I have to deny it. It‟s only a temporary phenomenon. It boldly starts the prelude of general‟s preference. You can find sort of eager moods in public life from it. The present fashion just fits in, the people set their eyes on it.But on one has the capacity to jump to conclusions that fashion will keep itself forever. In contrast, it‟s always willful. The next step you can‟t pre-anticipate. However, it‟s available. The outstanding individual characteristic as an unseen force influences the public interests. Commercial men make full use of this resource. Like the most experienced hunters, they brainstorm to find ways around the crowds. Nowadays, evidently many artificial fashion begin showing up continuously. Pop stars and “image persons”, often named dreamboats, steer the fashion boat.I remind you that it is just like the wind that blows your cap off your head, with no foot-prints and trails left. So you should spare more effort to make your own way. Life before oneself is an unshaped sculpture. Moral virtue and wisdom to refine one‟s personality will never become the out-dated skills, thoughts which, despite the objections ofothers, from time to time, give rise to new “fashion”.12. Night CapriccioBy Lin YiweiIn the quiet of the night, accompanied by the rhythmic clicking of pendulum and a cup of coffee, I spread out a sheet of letter paper, streams of thoughts flowing through the nib of my pen.Memorable to me is my warm, comfortable home, with the sitting-room brimful of laughter, with Mum and Dad‟s caring words, and the wrinkles ploughed by time into their faces. My home is so faraway in space, but so near in my mind‟s eye. I hang on to my precious memory, keeping it safe in my diary, and in the depths of my heart where it won‟t fade away or be altered by the outside world. Wherever I go, I firmly believe, my beloved ones will keep a close watch on me, like the twinkling stars, giving me their blessings and encouragement. Even if we are separated by vast oceans, our hearts will beat as one. It is this deep love and faith that gives me the strength to brave storms and any hardship in my life.Now that I have entered the orbit I planned formyself, I should begin running in it. When the tender bud stretches out its first leaf in the morning breeze, giving out its pleasant fragrance; when the newly-fledged eaglet takes wing, soaring into the immense heaven; and when the new-born colt draws its first breath of pure and sweet air, staring at the boundless grassland, they cheer: how wonderful life is! And so is mine.The new life, a nut that was then cracked open, may undergo rapids, may bathe in the sunlight; may be full of hardships and brambles, may be permeated with flowers and applause. Enjoying what life blesses me with and performing what it entrusts to me, I shall live without fear or regret. With an unclouded mind, an undaunted heart and a steadfast faith, I know I shall fulfill my hope. The shimmering stars will be the witness of all these.Drawing back the thoughts, I drink some coffee and look up at the night sky. That starry heaven! With a flash, a meteor shoots across the night sky, leaving a graceful arc. How bright the meteor is! I marvel how far it reaches!13. Kettle“One who draws back fifty paces from the enemylaughs at another who does a hundred paces.” This is a common Chinese saying. You understand it, don‟t you? For the same idea English people have their own proverb: “The pot calls the kettle black.” Suppose both Joe and Ted were cheating at a game. Then each of them accused the other of not playing fair. This is clearly a case of the pot calling the kettle black.“Kettle” and “fish” are two things that have nothing to do with each other. Yet, oddly enough, they combine to make the idiom “kettle of fish”. “We arrived at the theatre only to find that we forgot our tickets. That was indeed a pretty kettle of fish.” In this example, “ a pretty kettle of fish” means a really bad thing to happen.14. lockLocks are used for safety and security. So, generally, the front door needs a stronger lock. It is still better to equip it with a burglar-alarm lock. Money, important papers and valuable objects such as jewels must be locked up, or put under lock and key.Good students are well-prepared for tests and examinations. But lazy students are not. They open theirbooks to look for the answers only after they have failed. That is what people call “locking the stable door after the horse has been stolen.”15. The Adventure of Tom SawyerChapter I“Tom!”No answer.“Tom!”No answer.“What‟s gone with that boy, I wonder? You Tom!”The old lady pulled her spectacles down and looked over them, about the room; then she put them up and looked out under them. She seldom or never looked through them for so small a thing as a boy, for they were her state pair, the pride of her heart, and were built for …style‟ not service; she could have seen through a pair of stove lids as well. She looked perplexed a moment and said, not fiercely, but still loud enough for the furniture to hear, …Well, I lay if I get hold of you, I‟ll---‟Ben Rogers hove in sight presently; the very boy of allboys whose ridicule he had been dreading. Ben‟s gait was the hop, skip, and jump--- proof enough that his heart was light and his anticipations high. He was eating an apple, and giving a long melodious whoop at intervals, followed by a deep-toned ding dong dong, ding dong dong, for he was personating a steamboat!Tom went on whitewashing---paid no attention to the steamer. Ben stared a moment, and then said:“Hi-yi! You‟re up a stump, ain‟t you?”No answer. Tom surveyed his last touch with the eye of an artist; then he gave his brush another gentle sweep, and surveyed the result as before. Ben ranged up alongside of him. Tom‟s mouth watered for the apple, but he stuck to his work. Ben said:“Hello, old chap; you got to work, hey?”“Why, it‟s you, Ben! I warn‟t noticing.”“Say, I‟m going in a swimming, I am. Don‟t you wish you could? But of course, you‟d druther work, wouldn‟t you? …Course you would!”Tom contemplated the boy a bit, and said:“What do you call work?”“Why, ain‟t that work?”Tom resumed his whitewashing, and answered carelessly:“Well, maybe it is, and maybe it ain‟t. All I know is, it suits Tom Sawyer.”“Oh, come now, you don‟t mean to let on that you like it?”The brush continued to move.“Like it? Well, I don‟t see why I oughtn‟t to like it. Does a boy get a chance to whitewash a f ence every day?”That put the thing in a new light. Ben stopped nibbling his apple. Tom swept his brush daintily back and forth---stepped back to note the effect—added a touch here and there---criticized the effect again, Ben watching every move, and getting more and more interested, more and more absorbed. Presently he said:“Say, Tom, let me whitewash a little.”Tom considered; was about to consent; but he altered his mind: “No, no; I reckon it wouldn‟t hardly do, Ben. You see, Aunt Polly‟s awful particular about this fence---right here on the street, you know---but if it was the back fence I wouldn't mind, and she wouldn‟t. Yet, she‟s awful particular about this fence; it‟s got to be done。

I know, it sounds kinda scary, but don't worry, I've got some predictions for what the essay topic might be about.Ok, so I think the topic might be something like "The Future of Technology". I mean, think about it, in 2024 we've got flyingcars, robots doing our homework, and even virtual reality classrooms! It's like we're living in a sci-fi movie or something.But, you know, it's not all fun and games. Some people are worried about how all this new technology is gonna change the world. Will robots take over our jobs? Will we forget how to talk to each other in real life? It's a lot to think about, for sure.So, for the essay, we could talk about the pros and cons of all this new tech stuff. Like, how it's making our lives easier, but also how it's kinda freaking us out. And we could share our own ideas about what the future might look like. Maybe we'll all be living on Mars one day, who knows?Oh, and don't forget to use lots of cool vocab and good grammar in your essay. The teachers really like that stuff. Show off your English skills, guys! You got this!Anyway, that's my prediction for the Four-Level English test. Good luck, everyone! Let's rock that essay!篇3Hi everyone, I'm so excited to tell you about what I think the 2024 June CET-4 exam will be like. I've been studying Englishreally hard, so I think I have a pretty good idea of what they might ask us.First of all, I think they'll definitely have a reading comprehension section. We'll probably have to read a few passages and answer questions about them. I think they might be about a variety of topics, like science, history, or maybe even a story.Next, I think there will be a listening section. We'll have to listen to some conversations or stories and answer questions about what we heard. It might be a little tricky, but if we practice listening to English every day, we'll be able to do it!And of course, there will be a writing section. We might have to write an essay about a certain topic. I think they might ask us to write about our dreams for the future, or maybe about a trip we took. I love writing essays, so I think this part will be really fun!I also think there will be a grammar section. We might have to fill in the blanks with the correct verb tense or form of the word. This part can be a little challenging, but if we review our grammar rules, we'll be able to do it!Overall, I think the 2024 June CET-4 exam will be tough, but if we keep practicing and studying hard, we'll all do great! Let's do our best and show everyone how amazing we are at English!篇4Oh my gosh, guys! Can you believe it's already June 2024? Time flies so fast! Anyway, today I wanna talk to you guys about the future, specifically the English test we all have to take - the CET-4. I know it sounds super scary, but trust me, we got this!So, in 2024, I think the CET-4 test will be a lot different than before. I heard that there will be more focus on practical English skills, like speaking and writing. That's kinda cool, right? It means we'll be able to show off our awesome English skills in a more hands-on way.I also heard that there will be more emphasis on real-life situations in the listening and reading sections. Like, we might have to listen to a conversation between friends planning a trip, or read an article about new technology. It's gonna be so much fun to learn about all these cool topics while improving our English at the same time!I know some of us might be nervous about the changes, but don't worry. We've been studying English for years now, andwe're all super smart and capable. Plus, we have each other for support, right? We can study together, practice speaking English, and cheer each other on. With our teamwork and positive attitudes, we can totally crush the CET-4 test in 2024!So, let's keep working hard, stay positive, and believe in ourselves. I know we can all pass the CET-4 test with flying colors and show the world just how amazing we are at English. Go team! Go us! Let's do this!篇5Hello everyone! Today I'm going to write a prediction for the English CET-4 exam in June 2024. Are you ready? Let's get started!In the listening section, I think there will be more conversations between two or more people discussing everyday topics like going to the movies, shopping, or studying. It's important to listen carefully and take notes so you can answer the questions correctly.For the reading section, I think there will be a mix of short articles and longer passages about various topics like technology, travel, and culture. Make sure to read each passage carefully andpay attention to details so you can answer the comprehension questions.In the writing section, there might be a task where you have to write an essay about a current issue or a personal experience. Remember to organize your ideas, use good grammar and vocabulary, and check for spelling and punctuation errors.As for the speaking section, there could be questions about yourself, your hobbies, your family, or your future plans. Practice speaking in English as much as you can so you can feel confident and speak fluently during the exam.Overall, I believe that with enough preparation and practice, we can all do well on the CET-4 exam in June 2024. Let's study hard and do our best! Good luck, everyone!篇6Hello everyone! Today, I'm going to predict what the English writing topic for the 2024 June CET-4 exam might be. So, put on your thinking caps and get ready to imagine what the future might hold!I think the topic could be something like this: "The Impact of Technology on Education". In this essay, we might have to talkabout how technology has changed the way we learn, study and communicate in the future. We could discuss the benefits of using technology in education, such as access to online resources, interactive learning platforms, and instant communication with teachers and classmates.On the other hand, we could also talk about the challenges that technology brings to education, like distractions from social media, the digital divide between students who have access to technology and those who don't, and the potential for cheating and plagiarism.To write a good essay on this topic, we could start by introducing the topic and stating our opinion. Then, we could give examples of how technology is currently being used in education and how it might evolve in the future. We could also discuss the pros and cons of using technology in the classroom and offer some suggestions on how to use it effectively.In conclusion, we could summarize our main points and restate our opinion on whether technology has a positive or negative impact on education. Remember to use clear and concise language, give examples to support your points, and check for grammar and spelling mistakes before submitting your essay.I hope this prediction helps you prepare for the CET-4 exam in 2024. Good luck, and happy writing!。

For questions 1-7,choose the bestanswer from the four choices marked A),B),C)and D). For questions8-10,complete the sentences with the information given in the passage.Small Schools RisingThis year's list of the top 100 high schools shows that today, those with fewer students are flourishing.Fifty years ago, they were the latest thing in educational reform: big, modern, suburban high schools with students counted in the thousands. As baby boomers(二战后婴儿潮时期出生的人) came of high-school age, big schools promised economic efficiency. A greater choice of courses, and, of course, better football teams. Only years later did we understand the trade-offs this involved: the creation of excessive bureaucracies(官僚机构),the difficulty of forging personal connections between teachers and students. SAT scores began dropping in 1963; today, on average,30% of students do not complete high school in four years, a figure that rises to 50% in poor urban neighborhoods. While the emphasis on teaching to higher, test-driven standards as set in No Child Left Behind resulted in significantly better performance in elementary(and some middle)schools, high schools for a variety of reasons seemed to have made little progress.Size isn't everything, but it does matter, and the past decade has seen a noticeable countertrend toward smaller schools. This has been due ,in part ,to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which has invested $1.8 billion in American high schools, helping to open about 1,000 small schools-most of them with about 400 kids each with an average enrollment of only 150 per grade, About 500 more are on the drawing board. Districts all over the country are taking notice, along with mayors in cities like New York, Chicago and San Diego. The movement includes independent public charter schools, such as No.1 BASIS in Tucson, with only 120 high-schoolers and 18 graduates this year. It embracesdistrict-sanctioned magnet schools, such as the Talented and Gifted School, with 198 students, and the Science and Engineering Magnet,with383,which share a building in Dallas, as well as the City Honors School in Buffalo, N.Y., which grew out of volunteer evening seminars for students. And it includes alternative schools with students selected bylottery(抽签),such as H-B Woodlawn in Arlington, Va. And most noticeable of all, there isthe phenomenon of large urban and suburban high schools that have split up into smaller units of a few hundred, generally housed in the same grounds that once boasted thousands of students all marching to the same band.Hillsdale High School in San Mateo, Calif, is one of those, ranking No.423-among the top 2% in the country-on Newsweek's annual ranking of America's top high schools. The success of small schools is apparent in the listings. Ten years ago, when the first Newsweek list based on college-level test participation was published, only three of the top 100 schools had graduating Classes smaller than 100 students. This year there are 22. Nearly 250 schools on the full ,Newsweek list of the top 5% of schools nationally had fewer than 200 graduates in 2007.Although many of Hillsdale's students came from wealthy households, by the late 1990 average test scores were sliding and it had earned the unaffectionate nickname (绰号) "Hillsjail. " Jeff Gilbert. A Hillsdale teacher who became principal last year, remembers sitting with other teachers watching students file out of a graduation ceremony and asking one another in astonishment, "How did that student graduate?"So in 2003 Hillsdale remade itself into three "houses," romantically named Florence,Marrakech and Kyoto. Each of the 300 arriving ninth graders are randomly(随机地)assigned to one of the houses. Where they will keep the same four core subject teachers for two years, before moving on to another for 11th and 12th grades. The closeness this system cultivates is reinforced by the institution of "advisory" classes Teachers meet with students in groups of 25, five mornings a week, for open-ended discussions of everything from homework problems to bad Saturday-night dates. The advisers also meet with students privately and stay in touch with parents, so they are deeply invested in the students' success."We're constantly talking about one another's advisers," says English teacher Chris Crockett. "If you hear that yours isn't doing well in math, or see them sitting outside the dean's office, it's like a personal failure." Along with the new structure came a more demanding academic program, the percentage of freshmen taking biology jumped from 17 to 95."It was rough for some. But by senior year, two-thirds have moved up to physics," says Gilbert "Our kids are coming to school in part because they know there are adults here who know them and care for them."But not all schools show advances after downsizing, and it remains to be seen whether smaller schools will be a cure-all solution.The Newsweek list of top U.S. high schools was made this year, as in years past, according to a single metric, the proportion of students taking college-level exams. Over the years this system has come in for its share of criticism for its simplicity. But that is also its strength: it's easy for readers to understand, and to do the arithmetic for their own schools if they'd like.Ranking schools is always controversial, and this year a group of 38superintendents(地区教育主管)from five states wrote to ask that their schools be excludedfrom the calculation."It is impossible to know which high schools are 'the best' in the nation, "their letter read. in part. "Determining whether different schools do or don't offer a high quality of education requires a look at man different measures, including students' overall academic accomplishments and their subsequent performance in college. And taking into consideration the unique needs of their communities."In the end, the superintendents agreed to provide the data we sought, which is, after all, public information. There is, in our view, no real dispute here, we are all seeking the same thing, which is schools that better serve our children and our nation by encouraging students to tackle tough subjects under the guidance of gifted teachers. And if we keep working toward that goal, someday, perhaps a list won't be necessary.注意:此部分试题请在答卡1上作答.1.Fifty years ago. big. Modern.

参考范文:There has been a heated discussion about whether to keep the College English Test Band 4(6) in the universities. Some people argue that the test has e an obstacle to the teaching of English on campuses, while others maintain that the advantages of the test outweigh its disadvantages. As far as the first group of people are concerned, they give the following arguments. For one thing, many students spend most of their time preparing for the test, therefore their focus is not on learning English better but on getting a high mark. For another, many teachers don't concentrate on how to improve the students' abilities. They only care how many of their students can pass the test. However, there are many people who believe the test should stay. To begin with,the test is the most effective way to measure how well the students have learned English. What's more, we can e up with some ways to lessen the negative effect. As far as I am concerned, each side is right in a certain way. We have to keep the test so students will have better motivation to learn English. However, we can't attach too much importance to the scores of the test. After all, it is just a test, isn't it?2022年6月大学英语四级作文预测篇二Computer AddictionIt is 3 A.M。

要求从以下几个方面阐述:竞争使人们充满创造力,使人们更有效率;竞争促使生产出更好的产品和提供更优质的服务;竞争促进了社会的进一步发展。
【参考范文】CompetitionCompetition makes people more creative and effective. It urges them to plan better, to try harder, and to achieve more. With a desire to excel in their work, people tend to perform more creatively and more efficiently。
Competition helps produce better products and provide better services. In the present world of intense competition, every manufacture tries his best to outmatch his competitor by producing goods of better quality at lower costs. As a result, consumers pay less and receive better service。
Competition promotes further development of society. If there were no competition, people would remain complacent and be unwilling to make any efforts or risk anything new. However, with fierce competition going on, they exert themselves to accomplish more. Their accomplishment will, in one way or another, contribute to the progress of society。
