Student Union 预测试题二（四六级考生都要重点看） Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on volunteering. You should write at least 150 words according to the outline given below in Chinese: 1. 很多大学生都做志愿者工作，如奥运志愿者、救灾志愿者等 2. 做志愿工作对于社会的贡献 3. 学生能从志愿工作中得到的收获 It is prevalent that a large number of college students are involved in kinds of volunteering work such as Olympic volunteering services and volunteering aid to earthquake-stricken areas. Some specific jobs include language service, medical service or even some specialized service. Volunteering makes great contribution to society. On one hand, in case of any big event such as hosting Olympic Games, human resource is surely in great demand. Whatever a volunteer can do is helpful for the event. On the other hand, volunteering can make people friendlier to each other and only in this way can we build up a harmonious society. Students can also reap great benefit from volunteering work. Students can improve their communicative skills and teamwork spirit. Whats more, students can broaden their horizon by meeting people from all walks of life and even all over the world. 预测试题三（四六级都要重点看） Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a letter to children in earthquake-stricken areas. You should write at least 120 words according to the outline given below in Chinese: 1. 表示慰问和关心：如身体状况，家庭状况 2. 表示鼓励：如努力学习，好好生活 3. 举1-2个例子说明只要克服困难，一定能成功。 Dear children, We are so shocked and sad to know about the earthquake which struck your hometown on May12. Though it took place several months ago, you may still be living under its shadow. We are sincerely wondering whether it is fine with you and your family. Ruthless as the disaster is, people from all over the country show great concern for you. A large number of PLA came to rescue you, your family and friends; countless doctors and nurses came to offer first aid; and numerous volunteers came to offer their hands. For all the above help, please try your best to come out of any possible depression and work hard academically. In fact, many famous people achieved success after great defeat or personal disaster. For example, Beethoven is totally deaf but he composed quite a lot of famous pieces; another example is Zhanghaidi, who is disabled but wrote her own book and inspired a generation of Chinese people. So, as long as you overcome your current difficulties, you are sure to succeed in future. 预测试题四（六级同学重点看） Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition based on the following table. You should write at least 150 words according to the outline given below in Chinese: Total Subway Rail199020002008China60km200km800kmFrance1000km1100km1100kmJapan600km700km700km描述图表的变化 说明变化的原因 预测未来的变化 From the table, we can easily find that Chinas construction of subway rail is booming compared with that of other countries. In 1990, China owned only 60 km of subway rail, which is only one tenth of that of Japan. But in 2000, China more than tripled its subway rail kilometers but France and Japan only slightly extended their rail. In 2008, China has surpassed Japan by 100 km and came quite close to France. Two conspicuous reasons can account for this change. On one hand, Chinese subway construction is developing fast during the past decades. Up till now, subway services are available in 6 cities and subway lines in two others are also under construction. On the other hand, subway construction in other countries such as France and Japan has obviously slowed down due to their mature and sufficient subway system. So in my opinion, China is expected to continue extending its subway system by building more meters of rail and adding more new subway cities. In future, subway system will definitely benefit urban population and tourists as well. 预测试题五（四六级都看） For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic of “Athletics Sports or Mass Sports?”. You are supposed to write 150 words based on the outline given below in Chinese. 1. 近十年来，中国的竞技体育发展迅猛； 2. 有人提出，发展大众体育更为重要； 3. 你的观点 竞技体育： athletics sports 大众体育：mass sports In the past decade, Chinese athletics sports have been booming. In 1996 Atlanta, China won 16 gold medals; in 2000 China won 28 gold medals in Sydney and in 2004 Athens, China won 32. All of this shows that China is playing an increasing important role in international sports. However, many people have doubt about this. They hold the view that development of mass sports is more important than athletics sports. On one hand, mass sports can contribute to the physical well-being of all citizens. On the other hand, athletics sports do cost a lot of money. In my opinion, both are equally important. Athletics sports can boost national spirit and signify the improvement of the overall national power. Mass sports can advocate the importance of physical health and bring practical benefit to citizens. So only by developing both can China be a real power in sports. 预测试题六（都看） For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic of “Benefits brought by Olympics 2008”. You are supposed to write at least 150 words based on the outline given below in Chinese. 1. 中国北京将于8月份举办第29届奥林匹克运动会 2. 奥运会给中国带来的好处（从2-3方面论述，如经济、体育、城市建设、公民素质等） 3. 祝福奥运会圆满成功 Beijing, China is to host the 29th Olympic Games in the coming August. It is the first time for China to host such a historical event and it is surely the pride of all Chinese people. Olympic Games can bring about various benefits to China. Firstly, hosting Olympic Games can boost the development of Chinese athletics sports since China is eager to win more gold medals than ever before. Secondly, Beijing has sped up its urban construction by adding more stadiums, extending subway rail, building new airports terminals. Last but not the least, the government calls for all citizens to be a polite host and this can improve national moral standard. I am sure Olympic Game in Beijing will be the greatest one in history and lets keep fingers crossed and embrace the great date: August, 8, 2008. 预测试题七（四级同学重点看） For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic of “Changes in my hometown”. You are supposed to write at least 150 words based on the outline given below in Chinese. 1. 简要介绍家乡的地理位置和历史 2. 描绘10年前的家乡状况 3. 描绘如今的家乡状况 4. 变化的原因 My hometown is Beijing, capital of China. It lies in the northwestern China and ranks one of the biggest cities in terms of urban construction, population and economic development alike. Beijing 10 years ago was quite different. At that time, environment was quite terrible. The air was dirty, the sky grey, the streets noisy and people crowded. It was difficult to take a bus since there were too many people waiting to get on it. But now, Beijing has taken on a new look. With 3 new subway lines, people find commuting is much easier and more comfortable than ever before. Meanwhile, with the improvement in environment protection, air is fresh and the sky is blue again. All this change may be ascribed to our preparation for Olympic Games. We really want to be a qualified host and we have been doing our best. In short, I am confident that Beijing will be a much better city in China, even in the whole world. 预测之八：(地震引发的思考)众人拾柴火焰高 1 如何理解众人拾柴火焰高 2 举例说明 All Contributing to it, the flame is high“All Contributing to it, the flame is high” is an old proverb which almost everyone knows, but not all understand it so well. Actually, it means that there is strength in numbers. Put it simply, individuals power and ability is too weak to perform a huge task. However, just as a number of streams converge into a vast ocean, so a teams strength may be great enough to remove a mountain. The saying also carries the message that cooperation and coordination are necessary, particularly in the modern society. To be sure, everybody has his own disadvantage and limited wisdom. Combining efforts can overcome this and make it possible to realize ones own greatest potential. It is therefore that efficiency and capacity are enhanced in this manner. Thus, something can be achieved which seems otherwise impossible. The most notable example is Boeing plane production. A plane is composed of 10,000 parts. But almost every part is produced by different country, then assembled by American. T
