四级真题第一套作文《四级真题第一套作文题目:为校园活动提建议一篇校园里的活动啊,那可是多姿多彩的,不过有时候也有点小瑕疵。
就拿上次的校园文化节来说吧。
我满心期待地想要去好好体验一把各种文化展示,结果一到现场就有点懵。
场地布置得特别混乱,各个活动区域东一块西一块的,要想找自己感兴趣的部分得跟走迷宫似的。
学校办活动呢,首先场地布局真要好好规划。
咱不能让同学们像没头的苍蝇一样到处乱转。
就好比我那天找书法展示区,我问了好几个人,每个人给我的答案都不太一样。
有的指左边,有的指右边,我就在那小块地方绕来绕去的。
好不容易找到了吧,发现那周围围了一圈别的摊位,人挤人,想靠近仔细看看那些漂亮的书法作品都难。
所以我觉得呀,把活动区域划分清楚,然后设置明显的标识牌,就像商场里每一层的指引一样清楚明白。
这多好啊,大家可以很轻松地到达自己想去的地方,也不会浪费那么多时间在找路上,这样心情也会美美的。
二篇校园活动要想办好,还有个问题得注意,那就是活动内容的宣传。
还是拿这个文化节说事儿。
实际上文化节前我都不知道到底有啥好玩的。
学校只是在公告栏贴了个小小的通知。
现在大家都手机不离手的,谁会专门跑去找公告栏看啊。
我就是偶然路过才瞅见的,但上面的字还特别小,模糊得很,没几下就看完了根本不知道有啥精彩内容。
我觉得在活动开始前一个星期,学校就可以在官方微信公众号和抖音账号上详细地介绍活动内容。
比如说要搞些什么特色表演,有哪些名人讲座之类的。
可以放一些小视频专门介绍这些项目,像那些有趣的传统手工艺展示摊位,就可以提前录个小师傅做工艺品的视频,精精巧巧的工艺品在镜头下一点点成型,多吸引人。
而且还能让大家在评论区交流,要是有啥想法或者建议也能及时反馈。
然后也可以在每个教室发个小传单,写明活动的时间、地点以及有啥优惠或者小礼品。
像文化节上如果有抽奖,那就把抽奖柜放在传单最显眼的地方,标明奖品是啥。
这样大家都能被吸引过来,参与的人多了,活动氛围自然就好啦。

2022年6月大学英语四级真题及答案(第一套)一、四级作文部分:WritingDirections: Suppose you are writing a proposal to your school library about improving it' s services, you are writing about its current problems and solutions.Dear Sir or Madam,I hope you are doing great! I am Li Ming, one of the sophomore students in our university. Following my recent experience of using our school library, I have decided to send you some feed-back. In the first place, the librarians there are not very friend-ly and helpful as they often fail to tell us where to find the book we want, and moreover get impatient easily. What’s more, the books available in the library are too old to catch up with the latest development of related disciplines. Finally, the reading rooms are not bright enough as some of the lights have gone dark. All these have brought great inconvenience to us students, which leaves me with no choice but to write you this letter.From my perspective, it would be wise for you to offer all the librarians a training course to familiarize them with the layout of the library and the classifications of the books. If possible, I sincerely hope that you consider the possibility of renewing some of the books and maintaining the facilities properly.Thank you for your time and consideration. Look forward to your favorable reply.Warm regards,Li Ming二、四级听力部分:四级听力原文:Section ANews Report 1原文:[1] A new study finds that beverages containing add ed sugar might be harmfuL In the study, researchers a nalyzed information from over eighty thousand wome n and thirty seven thousand men.

四级真题第一套作文《四级真题第一套作文题目:社团招新》篇一社团招新简直就像一场热闹非凡的集市大狂欢。
各个社团都跟摆地摊的小商贩似的,使出浑身解数来吸引新生们的注意。
我记得我刚入学的时候,那场面可真够壮观的。
走在校园的大道上,两边摆满了社团的招新摊位。
动漫社的同学们穿着各种动漫角色的服装,那简直就是从二次元穿越过来的。
一个cos成路飞的哥们,缠着一条长长的红色围巾,手上还戴着大大的橡胶手环,站在摊位前大声喊着:“来加入动漫社呀,这里有最酷的动画,最炫的人物,保证让你在二次元的海洋里畅游!”我被他那股热情给吸引住了,忍不住停下脚步看看。
旁边音乐社的摊位也不示弱。
他们把乐器都搬了出来,吉他手弹着流行的旋律,鼓手在后面有节奏地敲打着,声浪一阵接着一阵。
主唱还是个女生,她扎着马尾辫,穿着牛仔衬衫,唱着一首清新的小民谣。
那歌声就像是一阵清风,吹进了我的耳朵里。
当时我就在想,这些社团都好有活力呀,每个社团都像一个小家庭,有着自己独特的氛围。
我看到摄影社的摊位上摆着好多精美的摄影作品。
有浩瀚星空的照片,那星星密密麻麻像是镶嵌在黑色天鹅绒上的宝石。
还有一张是海边的落日,整个海面都被染成了橙红色,一艘小船的剪影恰到好处。
这些照片让我心动不已。
社团招新就是这样,充满了各种各样的诱惑,让新生们很难不被打动。
篇二继续说说那社团招新的盛事。
在这众多社团之中,舞蹈社也是超级吸睛的存在。
舞蹈社的同学们直接在摊位旁边的空地上跳起了街舞。
一群男生穿着宽松的嘻哈风格衣服,戴着棒球帽,反着戴的那种,特别酷。
他们在地上翻滚、托马斯全旋,动作快得像一阵旋风。
旁边的女生们则跳着爵士舞,扭腰摆臀的动作超级性感。
她们还不时地向路过的同学抛个媚眼,真是魅力四射。
我站在那看了好一会儿,感觉自己的脚都跟着他们的节奏想要动起来了。
在另外一个角落里,还有文学社的同学们。
他们很安静,就像一股清流。
摊位上摆满了社员们自己写的诗集和散文集。
我拿起来一本诗集,翻开一看,里面的诗句写得很有趣。

英语4级考试作文真题English: With the rapid development of technology, the importance of traditional skills is often overlooked. Many people are now more focused on acquiring new technical skills rather than honing their traditional skills. However, traditional skills such as handcrafting, woodworking, and sewing are still valuable and should not be forgotten. These skills often require precision, concentration, and patience, which can be beneficial for improving overall cognitive abilities. Furthermore, traditional skills allow individuals to connect with their cultural heritage and provide a sense of pride and accomplishment. Therefore, it is essential to strike a balance between learning new technical skills and preserving traditional skills to ensure a well-rounded skill set.中文翻译: 随着技术的快速发展,传统技能的重要性经常被忽视。

That was the question that worried the British economist John Maynard Keynes when he wrote his short essay “Economic Possibilities for Our Grandchildren” in 1930. Over the next century, he predicted, the economy would become so productive that people would barely need to work at all. For a while, it looked like Keynes was right. In 1930 the average working week was 47 hours in the United States. But by 1970, the number of hours Americans worked on average had fallen to slightly less than 39.B) But then something changed. Instead of continuing to decline, the duration of the working week remained stable. It has stayed at just below 40 hours for nearly five decades. So what happened? Why are people working just as much today as in 1970?C) There would be no mystery in this if Keynes had been wrong about the power of technology to increase the economy’s productivity, which he thought would lead to a standard of living “between four and eight times as high as it is today.” But Keynes got that right: Technology has made the economy massively more productive. According to Benjamin M. Friedman, an economist at Harvard, the U.S. economy is right on track to reach Keynes’s eight-fold (八倍) multiple by 2029. That is a century after the last data Keynes would have had access to.D) In a new paper, Friedman tries to figure out why that increased productivity has not translated into increased leisure time. Perhaps people just never feel materially satisfied, always wanting more money to buy the next new thing. This is a theory that appeals to many economists. “This argument is, at best, far from sufficient,” he writes. If that were the case, why did the duration of the working week decline in the first place?E) Another theory Friedman considers is that, in an era of ever fewer settings that provide effective opportunities for personal connections and relationships, people may place more value on the socializing that happens at work. There is support for this theory. Many people today consider colleagues as friends. But Friedman argues that the evidence for this theory is far from conclusive. Many workers report that they would like to spend more time with family, rather than at work. Furthermore, this theory cannot explain the change in trend in the U.S. working week in the 1970s.F) A third possibility proves more convincing for Friedman. That is: American inequality means that the gains of increasing productivity are not widely shared by everyone. In other words, most Americans are too poor to work less. Unlike the other two explanations Friedman considers, this one fits chronologically (按年代). Inequality declined in America during the period following World War II, along with the duration of the working week. But since the early 1970s it has risen dramatically.G) Keynes’s prediction of a shorter working week rests on the idea that the standard of living would continue rising for everyone. But Friedman says that this is not what has happened. Although Keynes’s eight-fold figure holds up for the economy as a whole, it is not at all the case for the median (中位数的) American worker. For them, output by 2029 is likely to be around 3.5 times what it was when Keynes was writing. This is a bit below his fourto eight-fold predicted range.H) This can be seen in the median worker’s income over this time period, complete with a shift in 1973 that fits in precisely with when the working week stopped shrinking. According to Friedman, between 1947 and 1973 the average hourly wage for normal workers (those who were not in management roles) in private industries other than agriculture nearly doubled in terms of what their money could buy. But by 2013 the average hourly wagefor ordinary workers had fallen 5 percent from the 1973 level in terms of actual purchasing power. Thus, though American incomes may have gone up since 1973, the amount that American workers can actually buy with their money has gone down. For most Americans, then, the magic of increasing productivity stopped working around 1973. Thus, they had to keep working just as much in order to maintain their standard of living.I) What Keynes predicted was a very optimistic version of what economists call technological unemployment. This is the idea that less labor will be necessary because machines can do so much. In Keynes’s vision, the resulting unemployment would be distributed more or less evenly across society in the form of increased leisure. But Friedman says that, for Americans, reality is much darker. Americans now have a labor market in which millions of people—those with fewer skills and less education —are seeking whatever poorly paid work they can get. This is confirmed by a recent poll that found that, for half of hourly workers, their top concern is not that they work too much but that they work too little. This is most likely not because they like their jobs so much. Rather, we can assume it is because they need the money.J) This explanation leaves an important question. If the very rich—the workers who have reaped above-average gains from the increased productivity since Keynes’s time—can afford to work less, why do they continue to work so much? (Indeed, research has shown that the highest earners in America tend to work the most.) Friedman believes that for many top earners, work is a labor of love. They are doing work they care about and are interested in, and doing more of it is not necessarily a burden. For them, it may even be a pleasure. These top earners derive meaning from their jobs and work is an important part of how they think of themselves. And, of course, they are compensated for it at a level that makes it worth their while.K) Friedman concludes that the prosperity (繁荣) Keynes predicted is here. After all, the economy as a whole has grown even more brilliantly than he expected. But for most Americans, that prosperity is nowhere to be seen. And, as a result, neither are those shorter working weeks.36. Some people view socializing at the workplace as a chance to develop personal relationships.37. As ordinary American workers’ average hourly pay had decreased despite increasing productivity, they had to work just as many hours as before to keep their living standards.38. American workers’ average weekly working time has not changed for nearly half a century.39. Friedman believes inequality in the U.S. largely explains why increasing productivity has not resulted in reduced working hours. 40. Many economists assume people’s thirst for material things has prevented them from enjoying more leisure time.41. An economist’s prediction about a shorter average working week seemed to be correct for a time in the 20th century.42. In the U.S. labor market, the primary concern of people with less schooling and fewer skills is to secure any employment even if it is low-paid.43. Keynes was right in predicting that technology would make the economy much more productive.44. Many of the highest earners have a keen interest in and love for what they are doing.45. According to Keynes, there would be a shorter working week with everyone’s standard of living continuing to rise.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 and mark 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.Lao Zi once said, “Care about what other people think and you will always be their prisoner.”People-pleasing, or seeking self-worth through others’ approval, is unproductive and an exhausting way to go through life. Why do we allow what others think of us to have so much power over how we feel about ourselves? If it’s true that you can’t please all people all of the time, wouldn’t it make sense to stop trying?Unfortunately, sense often isn’t driving our behavior. For social beings who desire love and belonging, wanting to be liked, and caring about the effect we have on others, is healthy and allows us to make connections. However, where we get into trouble is when our self-worth is dependent upon whether we win someone’s approval or not.This need to be liked can be traced back to when we were children and were completely dependent on others to take care of us: Small children are not just learning how to walk and communicate, they are also trying to learn how the world works. We learn about who we are and what is expected of us based on interactions with others, so, to a four-year-old, if Mommy or Daddy doesn’t like him or her, there is the danger that they will abandon them. We need to understand that when we desperately want someone to approve of us, it’s being driven by that little kid part of us that is still terrified of abandonment.As you become more capable of providing yourself with the approval you seek, your need for external validation will start to vanish, leaving youstronger, more confident, and yes, happier in your life. Imagine how much time we lose each moment we restrain our authenticselves in an effort to be liked.If we base our worth on the opinions of others, we cheat ourselves of the power to shape our experiences and embrace life not only for others but also for ourselves, because ultimately, there is no difference. So embrace the cliché(老话) and love yourself as it’s highly doubtfulthat you’ll regret it.46. What can we conclude from Lao Zi’s quotation?A) We should see through other people’s attempt to make a prisoner of us.B) We can never really please other people even if we try as hard as we can.C) We can never be truly free if taking to heart others’ opinion of us.D) We should care about other people’s view as much as they care about our own.47. What will happen if we base our self-worth on other people’s approval?A) Our desire to be loved will be fulfilled.B) Our life will be unfruitful and exhausting.C) Our identity as social beings will be affected.D) Our sense of self will be sharpened and enhanced.48. What may account for our need to be liked or approved of?A) Our desperate longing for interactions with others.B) Our understanding of the workings of the world.C) Our knowledge about the pain of abandonment.D) Our early childhood fear of being deserted.49. What can we do when we become better able to provide ourselves with the desiredapproval?A) Enjoy a happier life.B) Exercise self-restraint.C) Receive more external validation.D) Strengthen our power of imagination.50. What does the author advise us to do in the last paragraph?A) Embrace life for ourselves and for others.B) Base our worth on others’ opinions.C) See our experiences as assets.D) Love ourselves as we are.Passage TwoQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.Some people have said aging is more a slide into forgetfulness than a journey towards wisdom. However, a growing body of research suggeststhat late-in-life learning is possible. In reality, education does an aging brain good.Throughout life, people’s brains constantly renovate themselves. In the late 1960s, British brain scientist Geoffrey Raisman spied growth in damaged brain regions of rats through an electron microscope; their brains were forging new connections. This meant brains may change every time a person learns something new.Of course, that doesn’t mean the brain isn’t affected by the effects of time. Just as height usually declines over the years, so does brain volume: Humans lose about 4 percent every decade starting in their 40s. But that reduction doesn’t necessarily make people think slower; as long as we are alive and functioning, we can alter our brains with new information and experiences.In fact, scientists now suspect accumulating novel experiences, facts, and skills can keep people’s minds more flexible. New pathways can strengthen our ever-changing mental structure, even as the brain shrinks.Conventional fixes like word puzzles and brain-training apps can contribute to mental durability. Even something as simple as taking a different route to the grocery store or going somewhere new on vacation can keep the brain healthy.A desire for new life challenges can further boost brainpower. Research about aging adults who take on new enterprises shows improved function and memory as well as a reduced risk of mental disease. Openness —a characteristic defined by curiosity and a desire for knowledge—may also help folks pass brain tests. Some folks are born with thistake-in-theworld attitude, but those who aren’t as genetically gifted aren’t necessarily out of luck. While genes can encourage an interest in doing new things, a 2012 study in the journal Psychology and Aging found completing reasoning tasks like puzzles and number games can enhance that desire for novel experiences, which can, in turn, refresh the brain. That’s why brain scientist Richard Kennedy says “It’s not that old dogs can’t learn new tricks. It’s that maybe old dogs don’t realize why they should. ”51. What do some people think of aging adults?A) Their wisdom grows as time goes by.B) Their memory gradually deteriorates.C) They can benefit from late-in-life learning.D) They are likely to have mental health issues.52. What can we conclude from Geoffrey Raisman’s finding?A) Brain damage seriously hinders one’s learning.B) Brain power weakens slower than we imagine.C) Brains can refresh and improve with learning.D) Brains forge connections under new conditions.53. What is one thing that helps maintain the health of our brain even as it shrinks?A) Doing daily routines by conventional means.B) Avoiding worrying about our mental durability.C) Imitating old dogs’ way of learning new tricks.D) Approaching everyday tasks in novel ways.54. What does the author say can contribute to the improvement of brain function?A) Being curious and desiring knowledge.B) Being eager to pass brain tests at an old age.C) Rising to life’s challenges and avoiding risks.D) Boosting immunity to serious mental diseases.55. What is the finding of the 2012 study in the journal Psychology and Aging?A) Wishing to solve puzzles enhances one’s reasoning power.B) Playing number games unexpectedly stimulates one’s memory.C) Desiring new experiences can help to renovate the brain.D) Learning new tricks should not be confined to old dogs only.Part Ⅳ Translation (30 minutes)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passage from Chineseinto English.

大学四级英语作文原题I woke up this morning feeling exhausted, as usual. It seems like no matter how much sleep I get, I never feel well-rested. I think it's because I have trouble falling asleep at night. My mind races with thoughts and worries, making it nearly impossible to relax.I stumbled into the kitchen and made myself a cup of coffee, hoping it would help me wake up. I know I probably shouldn't rely on caffeine so much, but it's the only thing that gets me through the day. Without it, I feel like a zombie, barely able to function.After getting ready for the day, I headed to class. I have to admit, I'm not the most enthusiastic student. I often find myself zoning out during lectures, unable to focus on what the professor is saying. It's not that Idon't care about my education, it's just that I struggle to stay engaged.In the afternoon, I met up with some friends to study for an upcoming exam. I always feel so much more motivated to work when I'm with other people. It's like their energy and determination rub off on me, and I find myself actually making progress.As the day comes to a close, I can't help but feel a sense of dread about the evening ahead. I know that once again, I'll struggle to fall asleep, and tomorrow morningI'll wake up feeling just as tired as I do today. It's a never-ending cycle, and I'm not sure how to break it.。

The Earth provides us with essential resources such as air, water, and food,which are necessary for our survival. However, due to pollution and overexploitation, these resources are being depleted at an alarming rate. By protecting the environment, we can ensure that future generations will have access to clean air, safe drinking water, and sufficient food supply.Furthermore, environmental protection is closely linked to human health. Pollution, such as air and water pollution,can have detrimental effects on our health. For example, exposure to air pollution can lead to respiratory problems and increase the risk of developing cardiovascular diseases. By reducing pollution and preserving natural habitats, we can improve the quality of the air we breathe and the water we drink, thus promoting better health outcomes for ourselves and future generations.In addition, environmental protection is essential for the preservation of biodiversity. The loss of natural habitats due to deforestation and urbanization has resulted in the extinction of numerous plant and animal species. Biodiversity is important for maintaining the balance of ecosystems and providing ecological services such as pollination and soil fertility. By protecting natural habitats and implementing conservation measures, we canhelp preserve biodiversity and ensure the long-termsurvival of various species.To address the issue of environmental protection, individuals, governments, and organizations must work together. Firstly, individuals can make a difference byadopting environmentally friendly practices in their daily lives. This includes reducing waste, conserving energy and water, and using sustainable transportation methods. Additionally, governments should enact and enforce strict environmental regulations to limit pollution and promote sustainable development. Lastly, organizations can contribute by investing in research and development of eco-friendly technologies and promoting corporate social responsibility.In conclusion, environmental protection is of utmost importance as it ensures the sustainability of our planet, promotes human health, and preserves biodiversity. To address this issue, individuals, governments, and organizations must take collective actions to reduce pollution, conserve resources, and promote sustainable practices. By doing so, we can create a better future for ourselves and generations to come.。
