2006年6月至2011年12月四级作文真题题目及范文.doc

重庆理工大学外国语学院 艾维四级培训 小胖老师整理2006年6月至2011年12月四级写作真题及范文2011年12月For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay entitled Nothing Succeeds Without a Strong Will by commenting on the humorous saying, “Quitting smoking is the easiest thing in the world. Ive done it hundreds of times.” You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.Nothing Succeeds Without a Strong WillThe humorous saying, “Quitting smoking is the easiest thing in the world. Ive done it hundreds of times”, illustrates the astonishing yet common occurrence that many people try hard to give up a bad habit but in vain. They fail because they lack a strong will. In fact, nothing succeeds without a strong will.Take Thomas Edison for example. He is well-known for his large number of inventions which were created through thousands of unsuccessful experiments. Had it not been for his strong will, he would have merely been wasting time and money achieving nothing. Not surprisingly, Edisons perseverance is actually a common quality among successful people.As college students, we should bear in mind that a strong will helps set a clear goal for people and provide its owner with the motivation and encouragement in face of difficulties. Indeed, success goes to those who are equipped with a strong will. A man with a strong will is a man who cannot be defeated.2011年6月Online Shopping1. 现在网上购物已成为一种时尚2. 网上购物游很多好处，但也有不少问题3. 我的建议An increasing number of people are getting used to shopping online nowadays and online shopping is really enjoying a boom.There is no doubt that online shopping has many advantages. First, almost everything you want can be purchased online. Besides, instead of going shopping outdoors, you can just comfortably sit in front of your computer and scan web pages, which certainly saves your time and energy.However, the disadvantages also arise. Consumers are likely to be cheated because the deal is not made face to face. The purchase they get might not match the descriptions online. Worse still, some shop owners fail to mail the goods after they get the remittance. Then, faced with a large abundance of goods online, buyers often get lost and find it hard to select the ideal items.In my opinion, some measures can be taken to improve the conditions of online shopping. For instance, government should set down strict regulations to protect the interest of customers. Meanwhile, consumers should be more cautious while purchasing online.2010年12月How Should Parents Help Children to Be Independent?1. 目前不少父母为孩子包办一切2. 为了让孩子独立，父母应该These days many parents tend to make all decision for their children for fear that they might do something wrong. The parents purpose is quite clear: to protect their kids from possible failures. But this practice turns out to make their children increasingly dependent on them.For their childrens future development, parents should help them to be independent. The earlier they take measures to do so, the more benefit their children will get. Parents should first teach their children how to make plan, an indispensable skill for their future survival. Parents should also give their children more freedom, a must to childrens independence. If the children only follow rules set by their parents, they will never gain the sense of independence. Most importantly, parents should be open to different ideas from their children. If children feel that their ideas are well listened to and respected, they will become more confident.To sum up, parents should provide their children with plan-making skill, freedom and respect. In this way, children will grow more independent.2010年6月Due Attention Should Be Given to Spelling1.如今不少学生在英语学习中不重视拼写2.出现这种现象的原因是.3.为了改变这种状况，我认为.These days when learning English, a large number of students fail to pay due attention to spelling. Easily found in their essays are spelling mistakes which to some extent affect communication.Several factors may account for such a phenomenon. In the first place, the wide use of network language with short-formed words and non-standard spelling should be responsible. It sets up a bad example for students to follow. Additionally, the time and effort devoted to different aspects of English learning have a lot to do with this issue. Oral English and listening skills have gained great attention, while spelling and writing training are inadequate. Last but not least, it is the students themselves that ignore the importance of correct spelling.To reverse the trend, joint efforts are needed. Teachers need to emphasize on spelling in class. On the part of students, it is high time that they recognized the significance of spelling and tried to avoid spelling mistakes. By doing so, correct spelling will be guaranteed in the near future.2009年12月真题Creating a Green Campus1.建设绿色校园十分重要2.绿色校园不仅是指绿色的环境.3.为了建设绿色校园，我们应该.People are now getting more and more conscious of the harmonious relationship between humans and Mother Nature. In this sense, we should lay more emphasis on “Green Campus”, just like “Green Olympics”.A green campus is more than green environment with green trees and grasses. It also refers to an environmentally friendly way of living in campus. Whats more, the concept of a green campus emphasizes the importance of living in harmony with the environment. On no account should we do damage to the nature or waste the natural resources so that we can leave the next generation a better world.In order to create a green campus, everyone of us should save limited energy whenever and wherever there is a chance. For instance, we should turn off the lights when leaving the room and stop littering while walking in the campus. If everyone makes a contribution to creating a green campus, we have every reason to believe that our life will be happier.2009年6月真题Free Admission to Museums?1. 越来越多的博物馆现在免费向公众开放，目的是2. 有人认为这样做或带来一些问题3. 在我看来Nowadays, more and more museums are open to the public for free. Free admissions to museums will motivate peoples interests in history, arts and science. In this way museums can provide people with easier access to knowledge, which is of vital importance for the whole nation. However, some people hold that free admission to museums can bring about many problems. Since anybody can enter a museum without paying, the museums can be overcrowded and it will be a difficult job for museums to maintain their collections. Besides, museums will face financial problems since they can not make profits from the admission fee. Due to the decrease in profits, museums have less motivation to up-date their collections. An out-of-date museum can not avoid the fate to close up in the long run.In my opinion, free admissions to museums are good for the public, but on the other hand they may pose problems to the museum management. Governments should provide help to museums and guide them to serve the public better. 2008年12月Limiting the Use of Disposable Plastic Bags1. 一次性塑料袋曾广为使用2. 由此带来的问题3. 限制使用一次性塑料袋的意义Disposable plastic bags were once widely used. As they were cheap and convenient. We depended on them to carry things when shopping. They had become part of our everyday life. However, disposable plastic bags have brought lots of problems. Firstly, due to their chemical structure, the bags are difficult to break down. Moreover, some poisonous chemicals in the plastics will set off to the soil and damage our crops. Finally, our health may be harmed and the environment may be badly damaged. Can you imagine our earth being covered by millions of plastic bags. So, it really makes sense to limit the use of disposable plastic bags. By reducing the use of them, we can protect our environment and ourselves. Maybe it will be a little more costly to use other bags, but the benefits we get greatly outweigh the extra money we pay. In a word, its necessary to limit the use of disposable plastic bags and in this way, everyone of us can make a contribution to a better environment. 2008年6月Recreational Activities1娱乐活动多种多样2娱乐活动可以使人们受益，也可能带来危害3作为大学生，我认为Nowadays there are a variety of recreational activities for people to take part in. some like singing and dancing while others are fond of watching movies or TV series. People are free to choose whatever recreational activities they like. Its obvious that recreational activities are relaxing and people can benefit from them. Furthermore, people can develop interests and make friends through those activities, which make their life colorful. However, recreational activities can also do harm to them. It is commonly seen that a youngster gets addicted to a certain recreational activity and wastes a lot of time and energy on it, resulting in his falling behind in study and work. As a college student, I think we must try not to break the balance between study and leisure. Recreational activities are a necessary part of life but we should not spend too much time on them. We should concentrate on our studies rather than indulge ourselves in recreational activities. 2007年12月What Electives to Choose1. 各大学为学生开设了各种各样的选修课2. 学生出于各种原因选择不同的选修课3. 以我自己为例Nowadays, there is a great variety of electives in colleges for students to choose from, and they have the freedom to choose whatever they like.Students choose different electives for different reasons. Some students simply choose what they like. They think they will gain some fun from it .Others choose what they think is good to them, so they can learn knowledge and skills from the course although it may not have much fun. Also some students choose a course just because its teachers are famous, so they can have the honor to learn with great masters. Take myself as an example. My elective this term is “English Writing Skills”. The reason why I choose it is because I am crazy about English. Furthermore, English writing is a skill essential to job-hunting today. I have enjoyed the course, and benefited a lot from it as well.2007年6月Welcome to Our Club1. 本社团的主要活动内容2. 参加本社团的好处3. 如何加入本社团 June 23, 2007Dear Students:The Speech Club is organizing school-wide speech training and contests to be held on each Saturday at the Students Recreational Center.

Speech Club2006年12月On the Spring Festival Gala1. 许多人喜欢在除夕夜观看春节晚会2. 但是有些人提出取消春节晚会3. 我的看法.The approach of the Chinese Lunar New Year poses a national issue concerning the necessity of holding the CCTV Spring Festival Gala. Its established status is being challenged by a growing number of people, especially by younger generations. It is increasingly difficult to cater for all tastes.Some individuals deem that it should be canceled or replaced by other programs. These young people focus their attention on other forms of celebration instead of immersing themselves in TV. Despite that, the majority of mid-aged people and senior citizens uphold the importance of the traditional performance. The most striking feature of this gala is its traditionally close link with ordinary peoples lives. Most of people view this gala as an annual staple on the traditional Chinese Spring Festival Eve. They all have a restless night and glue their eyes on the television.I am
