2012年大学英语四六级作文预测题1. 火车票购买实名制实施The Real-name Train Ticket Purchase System LaunchedWith the largest population in the world and an underdeveloped railway system, China is notorious for making train tickets particularly hard to purchase for ordinary citizens, especially during the Spring Festival when the railway is the primary means of transportation. As a result, ticket scalpers have proliferated, monopolizing a large number of tickets by either hiring people to buy tickets or conspiring with the ticket sellers within the railway stations.As the entire nations outrage over ticket scarcity keeps mounting, the Chinese government has introduced the drastic measure that citizens purchase train tickets with valid personal IDs. The system is designed primarily to crack down on ticket scalpers whose business has developed into a major industry. By allowing each individual to buy only one ticket, the system seeks to make tickets accessible to people in real need, rather than controlled by a small number of profit-seeking and illegal scalpers.However, this reformatory measure, while somewhat easing ticket scarcity, creates new problems. Buyers find the whole buying process troublesome and time-consuming. When boarding the train, the passenger who forgets to bring his valid ID certificate will be denied access to the train. I believe the introduction of each new system is coupled with shortcomings and there must be ways to improve the system as it is enforced. Of course, we look forward to the day when Chinas railway networks are so sufficiently developed that tickets are readily available to anyone at any time.2. 清华大学第四教学楼被命名为“真维斯楼”，针对类似的以商业品牌为大学中的设施冠名的现象谈谈你的看法。1. 陈述现象2. 明确表明个人看法3. 有此看法的原因 Naming University Buildings after Commercial BrandsRecently, a teaching building in Tsinghua University was named as “Jeanswest Building”, “Jeanswest” being the name of a leading casual wear brand. In the wake of the event, a huge uproar was triggered nationwide. People in and outside Tsinghua University expressed their outrage, denouncing its authorities for allowing the university to be contaminated by commercialism.To a large extent, such indignation is justified. Almost all Chinese universities are established and financially supported by the government. As public institutions, they are expected to concentrate solely on educating upright students and performing independent research. Commercialism has been carefully warded off so that neither universities nor their students would become money-oriented. Therefore, many fear that, if commercial encroachment is allowed to happen to a top university like Tsinghua University, rampant commercialism would extend to all universities across China.However, no specific laws or regulations prohibit individuals or corporate organizations from making donations and having their names inscribed on certain facilities. In fact, some universities have already done so. Investigations show that, in Tsinghua University itself, there have been three precedentsthree buildings in the School of Journalism, the Medical School and the School of Electronics have been respectively named after their donators. In the United States, this is a common practice and perhaps we have not yet grown accustomed to it.A key factor in this controversy involves the need to scrutinize the motivation behind each donation. On one hand, we shouldnt dampen the enthusiasm of individuals and corporate organizations to perform their social responsibility by making generous donations. On the other hand, we shouldnt indiscriminately accept donations that carry explicit commercial intentions. Additionally, the management of the collected funds should be transparent, ensuring that the funds are exclusively used for educational purposes. In this way, donations are bound to produce positive outcomes.3. 是否应帮助陌生人？Should We Help Strangers?We used to appreciate those who like to help strangers. But nowadays people tend to be very cautious of strangers, because they are afraid that helping others can sometimes bring them trouble. In my opinion, we should try our best to help others in a reasonable way.We should try to help others, no matter they are strangers or not. First, helping others is a virtue, and it will make our society more harmonious. Just imagine what a terrible world it would be if everyone were cold-hearted! Second, to some extent, helping others is helping oneself. We may come across some trouble and need others help some day. If everyone turns a blind eye to our trouble and turns a deaf ear to our appeal for aid just because we are strangers to them, what shall we do at that time? Therefore, we should be glad to help others.However, helping others may sometimes bring us trouble or even put us in danger. So when we are helping others, we should also protect ourselves and offer our help in an appropriate way. For example, to help someone who was robbed, calling the police is a much wiser way than chasing the robbers alone.-Lend a Helping Hand to StrangersWhen it comes to the question whether we should help strangers or not, different people may be of different opinions. Those who are opposed to it may argue that it is not advisablesince you know nothing about those in need, youre not sure whether they are really introuble or pretending to be. People who are in favor of the opinion, on the other hand, maintain that helping others, nomatter they bear relationship with us or not, is our responsibility，as a decent man.As for me, Im in favor of the latter. In the following context I am to elaborate on 3reasons to make my standpoint sound reasonable and convincing.First and foremost, as humanbeings, it is our responsibility to help others out of trouble. I should say “mutual help”is one of the distinguishing traits of human beings from animals, since helping each otherbrings this world warmth, loving care, benevolence and friendly atmosphere. Offering help toothers, especially those in trouble or surviving from disasters, can make theworld a better place, as what Michael Jackson proclaimed in his song. It is a plain truththat the world is becoming increasingly indifferent nowadays, few people are ready to helpstrangers for fear that those people may act to be pathetic for some kind of evilintentions, or in other words they may be wolves in sheeps skin. But in mostcircumstances, this is only an unnecessary worry and a pretext for not helping strangers. So it is high time we crossed the bridge between ourselves andstrangers and shouldered our responsibility as civilized men. Besides, we should step our feet into strangers shoes to understand the significance of our help to him.However small ourhelp may seem to be, it is often worth a lot to the help-seekers. We should always keep in mindthat we may also encounter some unexpected pitfalls and crave for others helping hand.Only when we have a ready mind to help others and contribute to rekindle the socialatmosphere of mutual help can we expect to be helped when we are in need. Admittedly, itshould not be denied that there are some people who tend to take advantage of warm-heartedand helpful people. However, we should not let those people blind us to the fact that mostpeople in need of our help are innocent people. The thing we can do before we reach out ourhelpful hand is to judge the help-seeker and the situation carefully. If you can do yourfavor, then go ahead. 4. 养宠物1. 有些人赞成养宠物2. 有些人反对养宠物3. 你的观点Keeping PetsThere is no denying the fact that keeping pets is a hotly debated topic today. Some people claim that keeping pets is a good thing to do. They believe that pets, like cats and dogs, can help relieve the loneliness suffered by senior citizens and other social members who are confined to their homes for this reason or that. They also argue that keeping pets helps mankind understand animals world and develop positive feelings toward them.Others, however, hold the opposite view. They regard keeping pets as a useless but harmful thing to do. First, pets can transmit diseases. Secondly, the noises and dung of pets are sources of pollution. Last but not least, as many rare birds and animals are kept as pets, they will surely be hunted on a large scale, which means a threat to the balance of the ecosystem.Weighing the arguments of both sides, I am inclined to agree with the latter. Anyway, we can lessen our loneliness and express our love toward animals in other ways. And it is my belief that only by placing man and other species on an equal basis can we expect to have a lively and colorful world.5. 名牌大学降低标准1)近年来很多名牌大学都会降低标准招收名人学生，一些人强烈反对这样做2)但也有不少人认为这很正常3)你对此的看法是，为什么? Should Universities lower Admission Requirements for Celebrities?In recent years, many famous universities lower their admission requirements for celebrities. More and more celebrities, especially sports stars, have been admitted to famous universities even without an entrance examination. This phenomenon has become a subject of widespread controversy.Some people object strongly to the idea that universities lower admission requirements for celebrities. They hold that this admission pattern will damage the basic fairness rule of education. In addition, they say that if a person who has not enough academic ability is admitted to the university, it would be an insult on college education. However, still other people think it acceptable. They argue that these celebrities deserve this privilege because they have proved their abilities in their fields. Besides, in their opinions, these celebrities, to some extent, set a good model for other young people.Weighing these two arguments, I prefer the latter one. For one thing, these celebrities have sacrificed much learning time for their work, so they should be provided a better opportunity for learning. For another, if they accept higher education, they could serve the society better. Therefore, I suggest that people encourage these celebrities efforts and contributions rather than blame the special treatment they enjoy.6. 大学生读双学位My View on Double BA Degree1. 现在大学生读双学位的现象很常见2. 我对这一现象的看法Recently it has become a common phenomenon for college students to have two majors at the same time. In this way, they can get double BA degrees when they graduate from the university several years later.Although it may bring unfavorable consequences, we can be sure to conclude that this practice is favorable on the whole. To begin with, most students will become more hardworkingand efficient in order to finish the learning tasks satisfactorily. Moreover, with two degrees at hand after graduation, they will stand a better chance in the job market full of fierce competition. In the third place, as for todays university students, tuitionand fees are becoming more and more expensive. If they can make achievements in study at school and find a satisfactory job afterwards, it will not be a big problem.Weighing the prosand cons of such a new trend, we can naturally arrive at the conclusion that it is beneficial and rewarding. This system not only compels students to work hard, but also prepares them for the coming competition.7. 食品安全Food SafetyCurrently, many problems concerning the safety of food have popped up. As for me, I believe at least three factors account for this issue.First, I observe that profits drive many food producers to commit illegal acts. They aim to gain more money at the risk of consumers health. Second, the overuse of agricultural pesticide has resulted in the degradation of food quality. The excessive pesticide bears enormous health hazard for people. Furthermore, some food producers inject hormones into domestic animals so as to make them grow more quickly and thus they can turn in more profit. As a result, peoples health has been seriously jeopardized.All in all, food safety is such a great concern, and we all should establish laws and implement them effectively to avoid producing toxic foods.8. 商品过度包装1. 许多商品都存在过度包装的现象 2. 出现这种现象的原因及其带来的后果 3. 为了改变这种状况，我认为Flaring packing of CommoditiesNo one in China has failed to notice that goods are wrapped（包装）in flaring （华美的，花哨的）boxes or bags. Taking a look around，we can easily find such examples：a small computer is packed in a thick and heavy（又厚又重）carton，clothes are putted in a well-designed plastic bags（塑料袋）which printed various kinds of patterns and colors and so on. What are the causes of this problem? On the one hand, in order to earn more economic gains(经济收益), a considerable number of （很多）manufactures usually wrap their products with unnecessary but appealing (吸引人的)materials aiming at attracting customers attention , arousing their curiosity and then stimulating their purchasing desire （吸引顾客的注意力并引发他们的好奇心）. On the other hand, quite a few customers believe that the more delicate the package seems，the superior the quality will be（包装越精美，产品质量就越好）,the notion has also encouraged the trend of excessive packaging. However, the emergence of excessive package（过度包装） has given rise to（导致）many undesirable consequences that cant be neglected （不容忽视）. For one thing，it is a waste of precious and limited natural resources，which will thus pose underlying (潜在的) threat to our offspring generation（子孙后代）. For another, customers are often deceived by artificial external packing rather than being provided with high-quality goods . To change this situation, I think we should take the following measures. First, laws must be made and implemented to impose restriction on （实行限制） excessive packaging. Second, a public education campaign should be launched to arouse customers consciousness （意识） that packaging doesnt equal to quality, and also let them know the bad impact of it. Only in this way can we put an end to this trend （结束这种趋势）.9. 做义工1，现在有越来越多的人愿意做义工 2，以上现象出现的原因 3，义工应该具备哪些素质 Work as a Volunteer There is a growing tendency nowadays that people in mounting numbers show great enthusiasm for (对显示出极大地热情)volunteer work. They are willing to do voluntary work in many fields varying from offering services in sports events to keeping passengers in line at the bus station and so forth. Ample reasons can account for this phenomenon. In the first place, with the improvement of peoples living standard，people should not necessarily be busy （不必要忙于）earning money to support their families.（养家） Instead, they can make better use of their spare time （更好地利用时间）by doing something valuable and helpful to others, such as being a volunteer. In the second place, influenced by（受到影响） the education campaign launched by the Chinese government, Chinese peoples awareness of being a volunteer has been greatly enhanced. Last but not least, doing volunteer work is also a source of happiness and gratification （幸福感和满足感的来源）for most people. Being a volunteer is anything but （绝不是）an easy job. It is required that those who want to be a volunteer should possess a strong desire to help others and serve the society. It is unimaginable that （难以想象）those who lack love and a sense of responsibility can bring happiness to others and contribute to the society.10. 知识能改变命运1. 有人相信知识能改变命运 2. 有人则认为当今社会光靠知识已经很难改变命运 3. 我认为 Can Knowledge Change Ones Destiny? Some people have always believed that knowledge can change their destiny. Most of them are those from undeveloped areas, and by knowledge they usually mean diploma. They believe that if they send the kids in the family to college and that the kids get a diploma, they can change the kids destiny from doing farm work to enjoy a modern and advanced life in the city. However, some hold a different view. They say that in todays society, knowledge alone is not enough to change ones destiny. To succeed in this complicated age, one needs not only knowledge, but also good communicating skills and a wide horizon, which cannot be easily learned in class. Knowledge itself is also more complicated than before. With technologies constantly advancing, one needs good learning ability to keep up with the time. In my opinion, knowledge is essential, but it is not everything. To change the destiny, one needs to keep learning various skills, to widen his horizons, and to keep pace with the latest trend. Can Knowledge Change Ones Destiny? For thousands of years, human beings have been using their knowledge to improve their life and change the world around them. Farmers use knowledge to grow more crops, workers use knowledge to make better devices, and scientists use knowledge on various inventions. In one word, some people believe knowledge has changed and is still changing our destiny. Meanwhile, there are some people who have a different voice. They say the world today is too complicated. You may have a lot of knowledge, but that doesnt mean you will succeed. There will always be someone who knows more than you, or even takes advantage of your knowledge. Your knowledge cant ensure you a bright future, so why bother learning them at the first place? You can use the time to learn something else. In my opinion, though knowledge doesnt definitely mean success, it is much more reliable than opportunism. Knowledge is essential in any case, and others cant take the knowledge in your own mind away.11. 大学破格录取人才1. 简单陈述许多高校破格录取人才这一现象，比如录取高考成绩不佳却具有某些特长的学生 talents who may not be academically qualified2. 分析人才对这一现象的不同看法。例如有的人认为发现人才的好办法，能为社会培养全方位的人才 focus on students ability and all-round qualifications3. 就这一现象提出自己的观点：破格录取在操作上可能会带来一些问题，但只要加强相关的管理和规范，其利是大于弊的。Should College Enroll Unqualified Talents?Every year, thousands of Chinese students take part in the college entrance examinations. Only hard work and high scores could ensur
