四级作文

作文题目：

Due Attention Should Be Given to Spelling 提纲：

①如今不少学生在英语学习中不重视拼写 ②出现这种情况的原因 ③这种现象导致的结果

范文：Now we are entering a brand new era full of opportunities and innovations, and great changes have taken place in people's attitude towards some traditional practice, especially in the area of English learning , one of which is less attention has been given to spelling by college students.This issue has been brought into public focus and called for further concern.A number of factors could account for the problem, but the following are the most critical ones.First, information is expanding at such an increasing rate that our society is called the one of information.The information is so immense that students haven' t ample energy and time to deal deeply with spelling, and some computer programs, such as word ,have done the spelling checking work for us.Second, the standardized-test oriented way of English learning, in which the high score can be achieved without spelling, put students to the position in which they have the quite reason to ignore spelling.This issue may lead to a number of unfavorable consequences, with the following two the most serious.For one thing, the information would be incorrect when conveyed by hand-writing way and cause some bad effects.For another, we may indulge ourselves in this way of inaccuracy which may influence our attitude of learning or research.The awareness of the importance of this issue should be enhanced and some proper measures should be taken.It is reasonable for us to believe that the situation will be improved in the near future.第三段的第二种写法：

In view of the importance of this issue , effective measures should be taken before things get worse.For one thing, it is essential that students should be encouraged to use less automatic spelling checking tools.For another, spelling should be highlighted in the English test ,such as CET-4 and CET 6.What’s more ,the public should enhance their awareness of the importance of spelling.With these measures taken, it is reasonable for us to believe that the situation of poor spelling will be improved in the near future.总体来讲这篇四级作文出的基本中规中矩。

从结构来看属于典型的给定观点的文章，三段论很清晰，任务很明确。能用到的语言也在我们的预测范围之内。

第一段，开头的句子我们就可以写到：Now we are entering a brand new era full of opportunities and innovations, and great changes have taken place in people's attitude towards some traditional practice只是紧接着只需要把spelling放到后面点明即可。后面加上一句This issue has been brought into public focus and called for further concern.第一段就圆满了。

第二段开头任务明确写原因：

开头句子给大家备好了：

A number of factors could account for the problem, but the following are the most critical ones.这段的内容是比较好想的，第一个原因我准备从信息角度入手，并且在内容的预测上我也是给同学们准备了信息方面的句子。

First, information is expanding at such an increasing rate that our society is called the one of information.The information is so immense that students haven' t ample energy and time to deal deeply with spelling,这里我用到了很好的代词:one,和句式：so„that„既然是范文我就自己小小的发挥了一下：some computer programs, such as word ,have done the spelling checking work for us.第二个原因：万恶考为首，Second, the standardized-test oriented way of English learning, in which the high score can be achieved without spelling, put students to the position in which they have the quite reason to ignore spelling.在这个句子中用到了同学们熟悉的表达：put students to the position.还用到了一个主干隔离结构in which the high score can be achieved without spelling，一个好的单词test oriented以什么为目标。

这段也很圆满。

第三段:这段更是平淡无奇：

但开头的句子是没有问题的，我们很熟悉的开头句。

This issue may lead to a number of unfavorable consequences, with the following two the most serious.后面有两种写法：

一种是写危害：

For one thing ,„ for another

For one thing, the information would be incorrect when conveyed by hand-writing way and cause some bad effects.For another, we may indulge ourselves in this way of inaccuracy which may influence our attitude of learning or research.The awareness of the importance of this issue should be enhanced and some proper measures should be taken.It is reasonable for us to believe that the situation will be improved in the near future.还有一种写法就是：直接写解决的方法会简单些 ：

In view of the importance of this issue , effective measures should be taken before things get worse.For one thing, it is essential that students should be encouraged to use less automatic spelling checking tools.(回忆下上课讲的上下义词)For another, spelling should be highlighted in the English test ,such as CET-4 and CET 6.What’s more ,the public should enhance their awareness of the importance of spelling.With these measures taken, it is reasonable for us to believe that the situation of poor spelling will be improved in the near future.针对不同的两个原因提出两个不同的解决方法。

（七）Translation 1)I was scared of leaving the protective bubble of this place for places unknown, during uncertain economic times.在经济不稳定的年代，我害怕离开这里的保护罩到未知的地方去。

2)You are the only one who can answer that, But what I can offer as guidance, and reassurance, is a story: the story of one Stanford graduate's process of stumbling and searching to find a place in the world, oftentimes in the face of her fears.你是仅仅一个可以回答这个问题的人，但是我能够讲一个故事为你提供引导使你放心：这是一位斯坦福大学毕业生在社会上摸爬滚打以争得一席之地的故事，尽管她一直面对恐惧。

3)The philosophic and ideologies themselves certainly left an impression on me.But the rigor of the distillation process, the exercise of refinement, that’s where the real learning happened.这些哲理和思想的确给我留下了深刻印象,但严谨的提炼过程和不断的改进加工才是我真正学习到的东西.4)When you graduate from here, you exit with thousands of pages of personal text on which are inscribed beliefs and values shaped by years of education, family interactions, relationship, experience.当你从这里毕业时,你会带着数千页的个人纪录走出校门,在这些记录上,是你多年来受教育,家庭,社会关系以及个人经历影响而形成的信念和价值观.5)I had convinced myself that my analytic mind and my Stanford humanities degree were enough to guell the fear.我已确信我善于分析的头脑和斯坦福大学的人文学科的学位足以平息我的恐惧.6)We all know that normal human daily cycle of activity is of some 7-8 hours' sleep alternating with some 16-17 hours' wakefulness and that, broadly speaking, the sleep normally coincides with the hours of darkness.我们都清楚正常人每天的活动周期是大约7-8个小时睡眠和16-17个小时清醒轮流相互交替，我么也知道，一般来说，睡眠常在夜间进行。

7)The case, for example, with which people can change from working in the day to working at night is a question of growing importance in industry where automation calls insistently for round-the-clock working of machines.例如有种情况，自动化工厂要求持续24小时的机器运转，因此日夜颠倒上班成了一个越来越重要的问题。

8)This means that no sooner has he got used to one routine than he has to change to another, so that much of his time is spent neither working nor sleeping very efficiently.这说明他刚适应一种工作规律就又得转向另一种工作规律,因此在他大部分时间里,休息和工作的效率很低.9)One answer would seem to be longer periods on each shift, a month, or even three months.一个解决的方法似乎是每次换班持续的时间长些,可以一个月甚至三个月换一次班.10)The only real solution appears to be to hand over the night shift to a corps of permanent night workers whose nocturnal wakefulness may persist through all weekends and holidays.唯一能解决问题的方法是将夜班交给一些长期从事夜间工作的人，他们在周末和假期依然会保持警醒状态.11)The first two stages in the development of civilized man were probably the invention of primitive weapons and the discovery of fire, although nobody knows exactly when he acquired the use of the latter.在人类文明发展的进程中，最初的两个阶段可能是原始武器的发明和火的发现，但没有人确切的知道，人类是在什么时候学会利用火的。

12)Animal have a few cries that serve as signals, but even the highest apes haven't been found able to pronounce words, even with the most intensive professional instructions.动物会发出几种叫声作为信号，然而人们发现，即使是最高级的猿经过强化的专业训练也不能说出话来。

（七）writing---made the existence of civilized communities possible.火,语言,武器,家禽,农业和文字的发明,使得文明社会有了存在的可能.15)There was progress---there were even two inventions of great importance, namely gunpowder and the mariner's compass---but neither of these can be compared in their revolutionary power to such things as speech and writing and agriculture.进步是有的,有两项伟大发明,火药和航海指南针,但是,就其革命性而言,这两项发明都不能同语言,文字,和农业相比.Text Reading I remember the way the light touched her hair.She turned her head, and our eyes met a momentary awareness in that raucous fifth grade classroom.I felt as though I'd been struck a blow under the heart.Thus began my first love affair.Her name was Rachel, and I mooned my way through the grade and high school, stricken at the mere sight of her, tongue-tied in her presence.Does anyone, anymore, linger in the shadows of evening, drawn by the pale light of a window-her window-like some hapless summer insect？ That delirious swooning, asexual but urgent and obsessive, that made me awkward and my voice crack is like some impossible dream now.I would catch sight of her, walking down an aisle of trees to or from school, and I'd become paralyzed.She always seemed so poised, so self-possessed.At home, I'd relive each encounter, writhing at the thought of my inadequacies.We eventually got acquainted and socialized as we entered our adolescence, she knew I had a case on her, and I sensed her affectionate tolerance for me.“Going steady” implied a maturity we still lacked.Her Orthodox Jewish upbringing and my own Catholic scruples imposed an inhibited grace that made even kissing a distant prospect, however fervently desired.I managed to hold her once at a dance-chaperoned, of course.Our embrace made her giggle, a sound so trusting that I hated myself for what I'd been thinking.At any rate, my love for Rachel remained unrequited.We graduated from high school, she went on to college, and I joined the Army.When World War II engulfed us, I was sent overseas.For a time we corresponded, and her letters were the highlight of those grinding endless years.Once she sent me a snapshot of herself in a bathing suit, which drove me to the wildest of fantasies.I mentioned the possibility of marriage in my nest letter, and almost immediately her replies became less frequent, less personal.Her Dear John letter finally caught up with me while I was awaiting discharge.She gently explained the impossibility of a marriage between us.Looking back on it, I must have recovered rather quickly, although for the first few months I believed I didn't want to live.Like Rachel, I found someone else, whom I learned to love with a deep and permanent commitment that has lasted to this day.56、According to the passage, how old was the author when his first love affair began？ A.Before he entered his teens.B.In his early teens.C.In his middle teens.D.When he was just out of his teens.57、How did the author behave as a boy in love？

A.His first love motivated him toward hard study.B.His first love evoked sentimental memories.C.He was overpowered by wild excitement and passion.D.He fulfilled his expectations and desires.58、According to the passage, what held them back from a loving kiss？ A.Her Jewish origin did not allow it.B.His Catholic adherence forbade it.C.They were not sure whether it was proper or ethical to kiss in line with their religious decorum.D.Kissing was found to be inelegant or even distasteful.59、According to the passage, what was Rachel's response to the author's tender affection before the war？ A.She recognized and accepted his love affectionately.B.She thwarted his affection by flatly turning him down.C.She fondly permitted him to adore her without losing her own heart to him.D.She didn't care for him at all and only took delight in playing with his feelings.60、Which of the following best describes the organization of the passage？

Text Reading No one should be forced to wear a uniform under any circumstance.Uniforms are demeaning to the human spirit and totally unnecessary in a democratic society.Uniforms tell the world that the person who wears one has no value as an inpidual but only lives to function as a part of the whole.The inpidual in a uniform loses all self-worth.There are those who say that wearing a uniform gives a person a sense of identification with a large, more important concept.What could be more important than the inpidual oneself？ If an organization is so weak that it must rely on cloth and buttons to inspire its members, that organization has no right to continue its existence.Others say that the practice of making persons wear uniforms, say in school, eliminates all envy and

（四）competition in a matter of dress, such that a poor person who cannot afford good-quality clothing, why would anyone strive to be better？ It is only a short step from forcing everyone to wear the same clothing to forcing everyone to drive the same car, have the same type of house, eat the same type of food.When this happens, all incentive to improve one's life is removed.Why would parents bother to work hard so that their children could have a better life than they had when they know that their children are going to be forced to have exactly the same life that they had？ Uniforms also hurt the economy.Right now, billions of dollars are spent on the fashion industry yearly.Thousands of persons are employed in designing, creating, and marketing different types of clothing.If everyone were forced to wear uniforms, artistic personnel would be unnecessary.Salespersons would be superfluous as well： why bother to sell the only items that are available？ The wearing of uniforms would destroy the fashion industry which in turn would have a ripple effect on such industries as advertising and promotion.Without advertising, newspapers, magazines, and television would not be able to remain in business.Our entire information and entertainment industries would founder.41、The author's viewpoint on uniforms can best be described as __________.A.Practical

B.Hysterical

C.Radical

D.critical

42、Judged from its style, this passage might be found in __________.A.a children's comics book

B.inpiduals are more important than organizations

C.inpiduals are not so important as organizations

B.uniforms would be less expensive than clothing for children

C.uniforms cause dissension between parents and children
