Directions:Lets say your university is soliciting opinions from students on whether university dining halls should be open to the public. You will have 30 minutes for the task. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.

In the modern era, there is a heated debate regarding whether the universitys canteens should be open to the public. Some believe that it will do us more good than harm, while others argue that it will pose a threat to the order and operation of the university. In my view, the university should recognize that this has both pros and cons.Lets start with the advantages. First, it allows the public to enjoy the diverse and delicious food offered by university canteens. This can enhance the reputation of the university and foster a stronger relationship between the university and the local community. Second, it can also generate additional revenue for the university, which can be used to improve the facilities and services provided to students . However, there are also potential drawbacks to consider. For in-stance, the increased number of people using the canteen may lead to overcrowding and longer waiting times for students during peak hours. Additionally, the public may have different preferences and dietary requirements compared to students, which could affect the menu options available and potentially increase costs.

In conclusion, the university should weigh the merits and demerits so that it can provide the best possible experience for both students and members of the public.

在现代，关于大学食堂是否应该向公众开放存在着激烈的争论。一些人认为这对我们利大于弊，而另一些人则认为这将对大学的秩序和运作构成威胁。在我看来，大学应该认识到这有利也有弊。首先，它可以让公众享受到大学食堂提供的多样化和美味的食物。这可以提高大学的声誉，并促进大学与当地网站之间更牢固的关系。其次，它还可以为大学带来额外的收入，这些收入可以用来改善为学生提供的设施和服务。然而，也有潜在的缺点需要考虑。例如，使用食堂的人数增加可能会导致拥挤，学生在高峰时间等待的`时间更长。此外，与学生相比，公众可能有不同的偏好和饮食要求，这可能会影响菜单的选择，并可能增加成本。总之，大学应该权衡利弊，以便为学生和公众提供最好的体验。

Passage 2

Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage:

When aluminum was first produced about a hundred and fifty years ago, it was so difficult to separate form the ores in which it was found that its price was higher than that of gold. The price remained high until a new process was discovered for refining the metal with the aid of electricity approximately three quarters of a century later. The new method was so much cheaper that aluminum because practical for many purposes, one of which was making pots and pans.

Aluminum is lightweight, rustproof and easily shaped into different forms. By mixing it with other metals, scientists have been able to produce a variety of alloys, some of which have the strength of steel but weigh only one third as much.

Today, the uses of aluminum are innumerable. Perhaps its most important use is in transportation. Aluminum is found in the engine of automobiles, in the hulls of boats. It is also used in many parts of airplanes. In fact, the huge “airbus” planes would probably never have been produced if aluminum did not exist. By making vehicles lighter in weight aluminum has greatly reduced the amount of fuel needed to move them, Aluminum is also being used extensively in the building industry in some countries.

Since aluminum is such a versatile (多用的) metal, it is fortunate that bauxite (铝土矿), which is one of its chief sources, is also one of the earth’s most plentiful substances.

Passage 3

Questions 11 to 15 are based on the following passage:

The idea of a special day to honor mothers was first put forward in America in 1907. two years later a woman, Mrs. John Bruce Dodd, in the state of Washington proposed a similar day to honor the head of the family—the father. Her mother died when she was very young, and her father brought her up. She loved her father very much.

In response to Mrs. Dodd’s idea that same year—1909, the state governor of Washington proclaimed (宣布) the third Sunday in June Father’s Day. The idea was officially approved by President Woodrow Wilson in 1916. in 1924, President Calvin Coolidge recommended national observance of the occasion “to establish more intimate (亲密) relations between fathers and their children, and to impress upon fathers the full measure of their obligations.” The red or white rose is recognized as the official Father’s Day flower.

Father’s Day took longer to establish on a national scale than Mother’s Day, but as the idea grained popularity, tradesmen and manufacturers began to see the commercial possibilities. They encouraged sons and daughters to honor their fathers with small thank-you presents, such as a tie or pair of socks, as well as by sending greeting cards.

During the Second World War, American servicemen stationed in Britain began to request Father’s Day greeting cards to send home. This generated a response with British card publishers. Though at first the British public was slow to accept this rather artificial day, it’s now well celebrated in Britain on the third Sunday in June in much the same way as in America.

Father’s Day seems to be much less important as occasion than the Mother’s Day. Not many of the children offer their fathers some presents. But the American fathers still think they are much better fated than the fathers of many other countries, who have not even a day for their sake in name only.

11. When did Father’s Day officially begin to have national popularity?

A. 1907 B. 1909 C. 1916 D. 1924

12. Who first started the idea of holding the Father’s Day?

A. Mrs. John Bruce Dodd B. Mrs. John Bruce’s Mother

C. The government of Washington. D. Some businessmen.

13. What flower will be popular on Father’s Day?

A. Lily B. Water Lily C. Red rose or white rose D. Sunflower.

14. Which statement is true, a according to this passage?

A. It took even longer for Mother’s Day to gain national popularity.

B. The businessmen helped to make Father’s Day popular.

C. Father’s Day is only celebrated in America.

D. Father’s Day is only a trick of the businessmen to make money.

15. What was the first reaction of the British publishing towards Father’s Day?

A. They thought highly of it and accepted it at once.

B. They just accepted it at once without any hesitation.

C. They just thought it a joke.

D. They thought it was too artificial and took a long time to accept.

Passage 4

Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:

Culture shock is an occupational disease (职业病) for people who have been suddenly transplanted abroad.

Culture shock is caused by the anxiety that results from losing all familiar signs and symbols of social intercourse. Those signs are as following: when to shake hands and what to say when meet people, when and how to give tips, how to make purchases, when to accept and refuse invitations, when to take statements seriously and when not. These signs, which may be words, gestures, facial expressions, or customs, are acquired by all of us in the course of growing up and as much a part of our culture as the language we speak or the beliefs we accept. All of us depend on hundreds of these signs for our peace of mind and day-to-day efficiency, but we do not carry most at the level of conscious awareness.

Now when an individual enters a strange culture, all or most of these familiar signs are removed. No matter how broadminded or full of good will you may be a series of supports have been knocked from under you, followed by a feeling of frustration. When suffering from culture shock people first reject the environment which caused discomfort. The ways of the host country are bad because they make us feel bad.

Questions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:

In a family where the roles of men and women are not sharply separated and where many household tasks are shared to a greater or lesser extent, notions of male superiority are hard to maintain. The pattern of sharing in tasks and in decisions makes for equality and this in turn leads to further sharing. In such a home, the growing boy and girl learn to accept equality more easily than did their parents and to prepare more fully for participation in a world characterized by cooperation rather by the “battle of the sexes”.

If the process goes too far and man’s role is regarded as less important—and that has happened in some cases—we are as badly off as before, only in reverse.

It is time to reassess the role of the man in the American family. We are getting a little tired of “Monism”—but we don’t want to exchange it for a “neo-Popism”. What we need, rather, is the recognition that bringing up children involves a partnership of equals. There are sings that psychiatrists, psychologists, social workers, and specialists on the family are becoming more aware of the part men play and that they have decided that women should not receive all the credit—nor the blame. We have almost given up saying that a woman’s place is in the home. We are beginning, however, to analyze man’s place in the home and to insist that he does have a place on it. Nor is that place irrelevant to the healthy development of the child.

The family is a co-operative enterprise for which it is difficult to lay down rules, because each family needs to work out its own ways for solving its own problems.

Excessive authoritarianism (命令主义) has unhappy consequences, whether it wears skirts or trousers, and the ideal of equal rights and equal responsibilities is pertinent (相关的，切题的) not only to a healthy democracy, but also to a healthy family.

16. The ideal of equal rights and equal responsibilities is .

A. fundamental to a sound democracy B. not pertinent to healthy family life

C. responsible for Monism D. what we have almost given up

17. The danger in the sharing of household tasks by the mother and the father is that .

A. the role of the father may become an inferior one

B. the role of the mother may become an inferior one

C. the children will grow up believe that life is a battle of sexes

D. sharing leads to constant arguing

18. The author states that bringing up children .

A. is mainly the mother’s job B. belongs among the duties of the father

C. is the job of schools and churches D. involves a partnership of equals

19. According to the author, the father’s role in the home is .

A. minor because he is an ineffectual parent

B. irrelevant to the healthy development of the child

C. pertinent to the healthy development of the child

D. identical to the role of the child’s mother

20. With which of the following statements would the author be most likely to agree?

A. A healthy, co-operative family is a basic ingredient of a healthy society.

B. Men are basically opposed to sharing household chores.

C. Division of household responsibilities is workable only in theory.

D. A woman’s place is always in the home.

Part V 参考例文

How to Solve the Problem of Heavy Traffic

People now become more and more concerned about the heavy traffic problem. They have proposed different ways to solve the problem. Some people have suggested that more roads be built and expanded to relieve the pressure of traffic. Others believe that traffic congestion is the most common problem in modern big cities, which cannot be solved unless new ways of public transportation are found. And still others think that the number of private cars should be strictly controlled by the government.

Firstly, it is very difficult to construct new roads or expand the roads to meet the new needs in the heavily populated urban area. Secondly, more and more people in China desire to own a car to satisfy their vanity. However, automobiles take up too much time and space. If everyone has his or her car, the traffic congestion seems to be inevitable and driving to work would be a nightmare. Thirdly, cars pollute our air, which eventually leads to many serious diseases.

Therefore, in my opinion, on the one hand, more roads should be built if it is possible; on the other hand, some measures must be taken to control the number of automobiles in the cities, so that the traffic congestion could be possibly be solved.

6月英语四级作文练习题及答案 篇3

“孔子”这个字眼，我相信说无人不知无人不晓不是夸张，而是事实。

The term Confucius, I believe, is not an exaggeration to say that everyone knows, but a fact.

孔子，春秋末期鲁国的思想家，教育家。他三岁时父亲离世，撇下这孤儿寡母。十七岁时母亲又离开人间，虽然母亲留下他一人孤苦伶仃地漂泊在世，但是他没有失去信心，而是努力造就自己，凭着他受到的教育，开办私塾，把自己学到的和积累的知识教给他的学生，被他所教育过的学生大多都是平民家，而孔子却免费教育他们，一文不收，只希望自己教育出的`学生将来能出人头地。

Confucius, a philosopher and educator in the late Spring and Autumn period of the State of Lu. When he was three years old, his father passed away, leaving behind this orphan and widowed mother. At the age of seventeen, his mother left the world again. Although his mother left him to wander alone in this world, he did not lose confidence. Instead, he worked hard to cultivate himself and, based on the education he received, opened a private school to teach his students the knowledge he had learned and accumulated. Most of the students he had educated were from ordinary families, while Confucius taught them for free, not accepting a single penny. He only hoped that the students he had educated would succeed in the future.

不只是中国，其他国家的人也了解孔子不少，他一生教过多达三千名学生，而著名的就有七十几个。

Not only in China, but also in other countries, people know a lot about Confucius. He taught as many as 3000 students in his lifetime, and there are more than 70 famous ones.

许多国家，还创办了孔子教育学校，这说明孔子思想对其他国家的'影响也很大。他55岁时率弟子一起周游其他列国，把自己的教学方法介绍给其他列国，可是他们一行人在周游过程中多次被困遇险。孔子把“仁”和“义”视为道德的最高原则，“仁”可以将它理解为对人的关心，"义"则是道德，他讲求学生道德好，对他人关心关爱，他的学生把他说的`名言警句记录下来，流传至今。孔子的《论语》是我们小学生必读的经典书目。

Many countries have also established Confucius Education Schools, indicating that Confucianism has had a significant impact on other countries as well. At the age of 55, he led his disciples to travel around other countries and introduced his teaching methods to them, but they were repeatedly trapped and in danger during the journey. Confucius regarded "benevolence" and "righteousness" as the highest principles of morality. "Benevolence" can be understood as caring for people, while "righteousness" is morality. He emphasized students moral goodness and care for others. His students recorded his famous sayings and proverbs, which have been passed down to this day. Confucius Analects is a must read classic book for elementary school students.

孔子只是一个普普通通的人，但他用自己的行动使自己被后人评为“世界文人之首”。他不仅在中国历史上填上了浓重的一笔，也在许多人的心中深深地刻下了两个字——孔子。

Confucius was just an ordinary person, but his actions earned him the title of "the foremost literati in the world" by later generations. He not only left a strong mark in Chinese history, but also deeply engraved two characters in the hearts of many people - Confucius.

6月英语四级作文练习题及答案 篇4

Questions 31 to 35 are based on the following passage:

"Welcome to the U.S.A.! Major credit cards are accepted!"

By the millions they are coming no longer the tired, the poor, the wretched masses longing for a better living. These are the wealthy. "We dont have a budget," says a biologist from Brazil, as she walks with two companions through New York Citys South Street." We just use our credit cards."

The US has long been one of the worlds most popular tourist destinations, but this year has been exceptional. First, there was the World Cup, which drew thousands from every corner of the globe; then came the weakening of the US dollar against major currencies. Now the US, still the worlds superpower, can also claim to be the worlds bargain basement(廉价商品部). Nobody undersells America these days on just about everything, from consumer electronics to fashion clothes to tennis rackets. Bottom retail prices anywhere from 30 % to 70% lower than those in Europe and Asia have attracted some 47 million visitors, who are expected to leave behind $ 79 billion in 1994. Thats up from $74 billion the year before.

True, not everyone comes just for bargains. There remains an undeniable fascination in the rest of the world with all things American, nourished by Hollywood films and US television series. But shopping the USA is proving irresistible. Every week thousands arrive with empty suitcases ready to be filled; some even rent an additional hotel room to hold their purchases. The buying binge(无节制)has become as important as watching Old Faithful Fountains erupt in Yellowstone Park or sunbathing on a beach in Florida.

The US has come at last to appreciate what other countries learned long ago: the pouring in of foreign tourists may not always be convenient, but it does put money in the bank. And with a trade deficit at about $130 billion and growing for the past 12 months, the US needs all the deposits it can get. Compared with American tourists abroad, visitors to the US stay longer and spend more money at each stop; an average of 12.2 night and $ 1624 a traveler versus the Americans four nights and $298.

31. From what the Brazilian biologist says, we know that tourists like her ____.

A) are reluctant to carry cash with them

B) simply don t care how much they spend

C) are not good at planning their expenditure

D) often spend more money than they can afford

32.The reason why 1994 was exceptional is that ____.

A) it saw an unusually large number of tourists to the US

B) it witnessed a drop in the number of tourists to the US

C) tourism was hardly affected by the weakening of the US dollar that year

D) Tourists came to the US for sightseeing rather than for bargains that year

33.By saying " nobody undersells America" (Underlined), the author means that ____.A) no other country underestimates the competitiveness of American productsB) nobody expects the Americans to cut the prices of their commodities

C) nobody restrains the selling of American goods

D) no other country sells at a lower price than America

34.Why does the author assert that all things American are fascinating to foreigners?A) Because they have gained much publicity through the American media

B) Because they represent the world s latest fashions

C) Because they embody the most sophisticated technology

D)Because they are available at all tourist destinations

35.From the passage we can conclude that the US has come to realize____.

A) the weakening of the US dollar can result in trade deficits

B) the lower the retail prices, the greater in profits

C) tourism can make great contributions to its economy

D) visitors to the US are wealthier than US tourists abroad

Hua Tuo(145~208), famous physician of the late Eastern Han Dynasty, also named Fu, was born at Qiao County in Peiguo(now Bo Zhou, Anhui Province). His courtesy name was Yuanhua and the dates of his birth and death still remain unaccountable.

华佗(145~208 ) ，字元化，又名敷，沛国谯(今安徽毫州市)人，东汉末年医学家。

He led a simple life, away from fame and fortune. He would rather become a traveling physician for ordinary people, who in turn held him in great reverence.

华佗淡于名利，不慕富贵，宁愿做民间医生，为人民解除疾苦，足迹遍及安徽、山东、河南、江苏等地，声名卓著，深受人民爱戴。

Hua Tuo was an expert in several medical fields, such as internal medicine, surgery, gynecology, pediatrics and acupuncture. He was the first person to perform surgery with the aid of anesthesia (by applying Ma Fei San, a herbal anesthetic he invented) some 1 600 years before Europeans did.

华佗精通内、外、妇、儿、针灸各科，对医学的突出贡献是创用麻沸散，是药物麻醉的先驱者，西医用麻药至少比华佗晚1600年。

His expertised in surgical operation earned him the title of Father of Chinese Surgery.

华佗精于外科手术，是外科学的鼻祖。

He pointed out that physical exercises helped to promote health, so working out could accelerate peoples inner circulation and prevent them from suffering diseases, just like a working door hinge will never rot away.

指出了运动促进健康和预防疾病的积极作用，“血脉流通，病不得生，譬如户枢，终不朽也”。

With this principle, he invented a set of physical exercises called “Wu Qin Xi" (Frolics of Five Animals), in which one imitates the actions of tigers, deer, bears, apes, and birds to promote health.

为此，华佗根据古代的导引方法编创了种新的运动方法“五禽戏”，模仿虎、鹿、熊、猿、鸟五种动物的各种姿态来锻炼身体。

He was good at diagnosis by observing the patients facial complexion and feeling their pulse, proficient in acupuncture and in understanding the properties of medicines. He also practiced psychological therapies to cure chronic illnesses.

华佗善于通过观察病人的.面目颜色来诊断，善于脉诊，深明药性，对病人的心理也颇有研究，曾用来治疗痼疾。

Unfortunately, almost all of his medical works, such as Hua Tuo Fang (Hua Tuos Prescriptions), Hua Tuo Nei Shi (Hua Tuo on lnternal Medicine) and Zhen Zhong Jiu Ci Jing (The methods of Using Acupuncture and Moxibustion) were lost.

华佗一生的著作有《华佗方》、《华佗内事》、《枕中灸刺经》等，可惜均已散失。
