You should write at least 120 words but nomore than 180 words.Much controversy has been aroused about whether the students should find a job or start their own business after graduation.Taking a look around,we can find that some graduates bustle around job markets,while others choose to run a shop on TMall. However, I prefer the former choice.From my perspective, there are good reasons to find a job in the first severalyears after their graduation.First and foremost, if a graduate intends to accumulate working experience and learn from the seniors, it is advisable for him to find ajob. It is an undeniable fact that the theoretical knowledge will provide thegraduates with the ability to consider things comprehensively,however,only under the integration with practice can the rigid knowledge be useful for their futuredevelopment. Inevitably, doing something small is the premise of undertakingsomething great. Take Jack Ma, the founder of Alibaba and taobao, for example.

Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose aparagraph more than once. Each paragraph is marked with a letter. Answer thequestions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2.Can Burglars Jam Your Wireless Security System?A)Any product that promises to protect your home deserves careful examination. So it isn't surprising that you ’ll find plenty of strong opinions about the potential vulnerabilities of popular home-security systems.B)The most likely type of burglary(入室盗窃 )by far is the unsophisticated crime of opportunity, usually involving a broken window or some forced entry. Accordingto the FBI, crimes like these accounted for roughly two-thirds of all householdburglaries in the US in 2013. The wide majority of the rest were illegal, unforcedentries that resulted from something like a window being left open. The odds ofcriminal using technical means to bypass a security system are so small that theFBI doesn ’ t even track those statistics.C)One of the main theoretical home-security concerns is whether or not a given system is vulnerable to being blocked from working altogether. With wired setups,the fear is that a burglar(入室盗贼 )might be able to shut your system down simplyby cutting the right cable.With a wireless setup,you stick battery-powered sensors up around your home that keep an eye on windows, doors, motion, and more. If theydetect something wrong while the system is armed, they ’ ll transmit a wireless alert signal to a base station that will then raise the alarm.That approach will eliminate most cord-cutting concerns —but what about their wireless equivalent,jamming? With the right device tuned to the right frequency,what ’ s to stop a thief from jamming your setup and blocking that alert signal from ever reaching the base station?D)Jamming concerns are nothing new, and they ’ re not unique to security systems. Any device that ’ s built to receive a wireless signal at a specific frequency canbe overwhelmed by a stronger signal coming in on the same frequency.For comparison, let ’ s say you wanted to“ jam ” a conversation between two people — all you’ d need to do is yell in the listener’ s ear.E)Security devices are required to list the frequencies they broadcast on—that means that a potential thief can find what they need to know with minimalGoogling. They will,however,need to know what system they ’ re looking for. If you have a sign in your yard declaring what setup you use, that’ d point them in theright direction, though at that point, we’ re talking about a highly targeted,semi-sophisticated attack, and not the sort of forced-entry attack that makes upthe majority of burglaries.It’ s easier to find and acquire jamming equipment for some frequencies than it is for others.F)Wireless security providers will often take steps to help combat the threatof jamming attacks.SimpliSafe,winner of our Editors ’ Choice distinction,utilizesa special system that’ s capable of separating incidental RF interference fromtargeted jamming attacks.When the system thinks it’ s being jammed, it ’ ll notify you via push alert( 推送警报 ).From there,it’s up to you to sound the alarm manually.G)SimpliSafe was singled out in one recent article on jamming, complete witha video showing the entire system being effectively bypassed with handheld jamming equipment. After taking appropriate measure to contain the RF interference to ourtest lab, we tested the attack out for ourselves, and were able to verify that itis possible with the right equipment. However, we also verified that SimpliSafe’s anti-jamming system works. It caught us in the act,sent an alert to my smartphone, and also listed our RF interference on the system ’ s event log. The team behind the article and video in question make no mention of the system, or whether or not itdetected them.H)We like the unique nature of that software. It means that a thief likely wouldn ’t be able to Google how the system works, then figure out a way around itEven if they could, SimpliSafe claims that its system is always evolving, and thatit varies slightly from system to system, which means there wouldn ’ t be a universal magic formula for cracking it Other systems also seem confident on the subject ofjamming. The team at Frontpoint addresses the issue in a blog on its site, citingtheir own jam protection software and claiming that there aren’ t any documented cases of a successful jam attack since the company began offering wireless security sensors in the 1980s.I)Jamming attacks are absolutely possible. As said before, with the rightequipment and the right know-how,it’ s possible to jam any wireless transmission. But how probable is it that someone will successfully jam their way into your homeand steal your stuff?J)Let ’ s imagine that you live in a small home with a wireless security setup that offers a functional anti-jamming system. First, a thief is going to need totarget your home, specifically. Then, he’s going to need to know the technicaldetails of your system and acquire the specific equipment necessary for jamming your specific setup. Presumably, you keep your doors locked at night and while you'reaway, so the thief will still need to break in.That means defeating the lock somehow,or breaking a window. He’ ll or opened door would normally need to be jamming you at thisrelease the alarm. So, too,point, as a broken windowwould the motion detectorsin your home, so the thief will need to continue jamming once he’s inside and searching for things to steal. However, he’ll need to do so without tripping theanti-jamming system, the details of which he almost certainly does not have access to.K) At the end of the day, these kinds of systems are primarily designed to protect against the sort of opportunistic smash-and-grab attack that makes up the majority of burglaries.They’re also only a single layer in what should ideally be a many-sided approach to securing your home, one that includes common sense things like soundlocks and proper exterior lighting at night. No system is impenetrable, and nonecan promise to eliminate the worst case completely. Every one of them hasvulnerabilities that a knowledgeable thief could theoretically exploit. A goodsystem is one that keeps that worst-case setting as improbable as possible whilealso offering strong protection in the event of a less-extraordinary attack.36.It is possible for burglars to make jamming attacks with the necessaryequipment and skill.【答案】 I37.Interfering with a wireless security system is similar to interfering witha conversation.【答案】 D38.A burglar has to continuously jam the wireless security device toavoid triggering the alarm, both inside and outside the house.【答案】 J39.SimpliSafe provides devices that are able to distinguish incidental radiointerference from targeted jamming attacks.【答案】 F40.Only a very small proportion of burglaries are committed by technical means.【答案】 B41.It is difficult to crack SimpliSafe as its system keeps changing.【答案】 H42.Wireless devices will transmit signals so as to activate the alarm oncesomething wrong is detected.【答案】 C43.Different measures should be taken to protect one’ s home from burglary in addition to the wireless security system.【答案】 K44.SimpliSafe’ s device can send a warning to the house owner’s cellphone.【答案】 G45.Burglars can easily get a security device ’s frequency by Internet search.【答案】 ESection CDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed bysome questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choicesmarked A), B) , C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark thecorresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.As a person who writes about food and drink for a living, I couldn ’ t tell you the first thing about Bill Perry or whether the beers he sells are that great. ButI can tell you that I like this guy. That ’ s because he plans to ban tipping in favor of paying his servers an actual living wage.I hate tipping.I hate it because it’ s an obligation disguised as an option. I hate it forthe post-dinner math it requires of me. But mostly,I hate tipping because I believe I would be in a better place if pay decisions regarding employees were simply leftup to their employers, as is the custom in virtually every other industry.Most of you probably think that you hate tipping, too. Research suggestsotherwise.You actually love tipping!You like to feel that you have a voice in how much money your server makes. No matter how the math works out, you persistentlyview restaurants with voluntary tipping systems as being a better value, which makes it extremely difficult for restaurants and bars to do away with the tipping system.One argument that you tend to hear a lot from the pro-tipping crowd seems logical enough:the service is better when waiters depend on tips,presumably because they see a benefit to successfully veiling their contempt for you. Well, if this weretrue,we would all be slipping a few 100-dollar bills to our doctors on the way out their doors, too. But as it turns out, waiters see only a tiny bump in tips whenthey do an exceptional job compared to a passable one. Waiters, keen observers ofhumanity that they are, are catching on to this; in one poll, a full 30% said theydidn ’ t believe the job they did had any impact on the tips they received.So come on, folks: get on board with ditching the outdated tip system. Pay alittle more up-front for your beer or burger. Support Bill Perry’ s pub, and any other bar or restaurant that doesn’ t ask you to do drunken math.46.What can we learn about Bill Perry from the passage?A)He runs a pub that serves excellent beer.B)He intends to get rid of the tipping practice.C)He gives his staff a considerable sum for tips.D)He lives comfortably without getting any tips.【答案】 B47.What is the main reason why the author hates tipping?A)It sets a bad example for other industries.B)It adds to the burden of ordinary customers.C)It forces the customer to compensate the waiter.D)It poses a great challenge for customers to do math.【答案】 C48.Why do many people love tipping according to the author?A)They help improve the quality of the restaurants they dine in.B)They believe waiters deserve such rewards for good service.C)They want to preserve a wonderful tradition of the industry.D)They can have some say in how much their servers earn.【答案】 D49.What have some waiters come to realize according to a survey?A)Service quality has little effect on tip size.B)It is in human nature to try to save on tips.C)Tips make it more difficult to please customers.D)Tips benefit the boss rather than the employees.【答案】 A50.What does the author argue for in the passage?A)Restaurants should calculate the tips for customers.B)Customers should pay more tips to help improve service.C)Waiters deserve better than just relying on tips for a living.D)Waiters should be paid by employers instead of customers.【答案】 DPassage TwoQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.In the past, falling oil prices have given a boost to the world economy, but recent forecasts for global growth have been toned down, even as oil prices sink lower and lower. Does that mean the link between lower oil prices and growth has weakened?Some experts say there are still good reasons to believe cheap oil should heat up the world economy. Consumers have more money in their pockets when they ’ re paying less at the pump. They spend that money on other things,which stimulates the economy.The biggest gains go to countries that import most of their oil like China,Japan, and India. But doesn’ t the extra money in the pockets of those countries,consumers mean an equal loss in oil-producing countries,cancelling out the gains? Not necessarily,says economic researcher Sara Johnson.“Many oil producers built up huge reserve funds when prices were high, so when prices fall they will draw ontheir reserves to support government spending and subsidies (补贴 )for their consumers. ”But not all oil producers have big reserves. In Venezuela, collapsing oil prices have sent its economy into free-fall.Economist Carl Weinberg believes the negative effects of plunging oil pricesare overwhelming the positive effects of cheaper oil. The implication is a sharpdecline in global trade, which has plunged partly because oil- producing nationscan’ t afford to import as much as they used to.Sara Johnson acknowledges that the global economic benefit from a fall in oilprices today is likely lower than it was in the past. One reason is that more countries are big oil producers now, so the nations suffering from the prices drop accountfor a larger share of the global economy.Consumers, in the U.S. at least, are acting cautiously with the savings they’re getting at the gas pump, as the memory of the recent great recession is stillfresh in their mind. And a number of oil-producing countries are trimming theirgasoline subsidies and raising taxes, so the net savings for global consumers isnot as big as the oil price plunge might suggest.51.What does the author mainly discuss in the passage?A)The reasons behind the plunge of oil prices.B)Possible ways to stimulate the global economy.C)The impact of cheap oil on global economic growth.D)The effect of falling oil prices on consumer spending.【答案】 C52.Why do some experts believe cheap oil will stimulate the global economy?A)Manufacturers can produce consumer goods at a much lower cost.B)Lower oil prices have always given a big boost to the global economy.C)Oil prices may rise or fall but economic laws are not subject to change.D)Consumers will spend their savings from cheap oil on other commodities.【答案】 D53.What happens in many oil-exporting countries when oil prices go down?A)They suspend import of necessities from overseas.B)They reduce production drastically to boost oil prices.C)They use their money reserves to back up consumption.D)They try to stop their economy from going into free-fall.【答案】 C54.How does Carl Weinberg view the current oil price plunge?A)It is one that has seen no parallel in economic history.B)Its negative effects more than cancel out its positive effects.C)It still has a chance to give rise to a boom in the global economy.D)Its effects on the global economy go against existing economic laws.【答案】 B55.Why haven’t falling oil prices boosted the global economy as they did before?A)People are not spending all the money they save on gas.B)The global economy is likely to undergo another recession.C)Oil importers account for a larger portion of the global economy.D)People the world over are afraid of a further plunge in oil prices.【答案】 APart IV Translation (30 minutes)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to translate a passagefrom Chinese into English.

16年四六级英语真题作文
16年四六级英语真题作文英文回答：In the whirlwind of contemporary society, where the pursuit of personal fulfillment often takes precedence over communal welfare, it is imperative to strike a delicate balance between individualism and collectivism. While embracing the virtues of self-reliance and personal ambition, we must also cultivate a sense of shared responsibility and interconnectedness within our communities.Individualism, with its emphasis on personal initiative, autonomy, and self-expression, has been a driving force behind countless scientific and artistic breakthroughs, economic advancements, and social reforms. It has fostereda culture of innovation and entrepreneurship, propelling nations towards progress and prosperity. By encouraging individuals to pursue their passions and strive for excellence, individualism has unleashed a wealth ofcreativity and enabled countless dreams to be realized.However, an unrestrained pursuit of individualism can also lead to societal fragmentation and a decline in social cohesion. When individuals prioritize their own interests above all else, they may neglect the needs of their communities and fail to contribute to the common good. This can lead to a loss of solidarity, empathy, and a sense of shared purpose.Collectivism, on the other hand, emphasizes the importance of group harmony, shared values, and communal responsibility. It fosters a sense of belonging and mutual support, encouraging individuals to work together for the greater good. In collectivist societies, social bonds are strong, and individuals are expected to contribute to the well-being of their community. This can lead to a more stable and harmonious society, where the needs of all members are met.However, an excessive emphasis on collectivism canstifle individual creativity and autonomy. When theinterests of the group are prioritized over those of the individual, it can lead to a lack of innovation and a suppression of dissenting voices. This can hinder progress and prevent society from adapting to changing circumstances.To strike a harmonious balance between individualismand collectivism, we must recognize and appreciate the strengths of both approaches. We need to foster a society that values both personal fulfillment and communal responsibility. Individuals should be encouraged to pursue their own aspirations, but they should also be reminded of their obligations to their communities. Communities, in turn, should provide opportunities for individuals tothrive and contribute to the common good.By striking this balance, we can create a society thatis both prosperous and compassionate, where individual aspirations are aligned with the needs of the community. We can foster a culture of innovation, empathy, and social harmony, enabling individuals to reach their full potential while contributing to the well-being of all.中文回答：在当今社会这个大漩涡中，个人追求往往凌驾于集体福祉之上，因此在个人主义和集体主义之间达成微妙的平衡至关重要。
2016年12月大学英语四级真题及答案(第1套)
参考范文：Stated-owned business or Joint ventureUpon graduation, virtually all college students will confront the problem of the career choice，which is truly a tough choice. Students' opinions differ greatly on this issue. Some hold that there is no better way to get a decent job than working in a stated-owned business which will guarantee my life after retirement, but others take the attitude that a joint venture outweighs any other jobs as it may provide higher income for employees.As to myself, I prefer the latter view. A joint venture, especially a high-salary joint venture, exerts a tremendous fascination on a great number of people, with no exception to me. Although it might be impossible to make sure my retirement pension is good enough, high-salary is exactly what I need just now. In my view, our career choices largely depend on where we want to stay for the rest of life. For me, metropolis is the place where I can grasp loads of opportunities and achieve my personal dreams. As I hold the view that live in the moment, not the future, and also in order to finance myself in some aspects such as the transportation, the house-renting, or social activities, a joint venture can satisfy my needs for the consumption I mentioned above.In short, a joint venture is the first and only consideration in my choice of career.听力答案：Section A1.

And they all appear to be uninjured, said Jessica Verfuss, the emergency department’s assistant director.Crews have managed to provide heat packs and blankets to the miners so that they can keep warm during the rescue operation, Verfuss said. Details about what led to the workers’ being trapped in the elevator went immediately available. The mine, along New York’s Cayuga Lake, processes salt used for road treatment. It produces about 2 million tons of salt that is shipped to more than 1,500 places in the northeastern United States, the rock salt mine is one of three operated by Cargill with the other two in Louisiana and Ohio.Q3. What does the news report say about the salt miners?Q4.What did the rescue team do?短篇新闻3Section A - 3The U.S. Postal Service announced today that it is considering closing about 3,700 post offices over the next year because of falling revenues.Facing an $8.3 billion budget deficit this year, closing post officers is one of several proposals the Postal Service has put forth recently to cut costs. Last week, for example, Postmaster General Pat Donahoe announced plans to stop mail delivery on Saturdays, a move he says could save $3 billion annually.“We are losing revenue as we speak,” Donahoe said. “We do not want taxpayer money. We want to be self-sufficient. So like any other business you have to make choices.”Dean Granholm the vice president for delivery and post office operations said the first waves of closings would begin this fall. He estimated that about 3,000 postmasters, 500 station managers and between 500 and 1,000 postal clerks could lose their jobs.Q5.What is the U.S. Postal Service planning to do?Q6.What measure has been planned to save costs?Q7.What will happen when the proposed measure come into effect?长对话1&2Conversation 1A: Mrs. Hampton, we've got trouble in the press room this morning.B: Oh dear. What about?A: One of the press operators arrived an hour and a half late.B: But that's a straightforward affair. He will simply lose part of his pay. That's why we have a clock-in system.A: But the point is the man was clocked-in at 8 o'clock. We have John standing by the time clock, and he swears he saw nothing irregular.B: Is John reliable?A: Yes, he is. That's why we chose him for the job.B: Have you spoken to the man who was late?A: Not yet. I thought I'd have a word with you first. He's a difficult man, and I think there's been some trouble on the shop floor. I've got a feelingthat trade union representative is behind this. The manager told me that Jack Green's been very active around the shop the last few days.B: Well, what do you want me to do?A: I was wondering if you'd see Smith, the man who was late, because you are so much better at handling things like this.B: Oh, alright. I'll see him. I must say I agree with you about there being bad feelings in the works. I've had the idea for some time that Jack Green's been busy stirring things up in connection with the latest wage claim. He's always trying to make trouble. Well, I'll get the manager to send Smith up here.Q8. What will happen to the press operator who was late for the work according to the woman?Q9. What does the man say about John who stands by the time clock?Q10. Why does the man suggest the woman see the worker who was late?Q11. What does the woman say about Jack Green?Conversation 2A: Our topic today is about somethings that foreigners nearly always say when they visit Britain. It's 'Why are the British so cold?' And they'retalking about the British personality – the famous British 'reserve'. It means that we aren't very friendly, we aren't very open.B: So do you think it's true?A: It's a difficult one. So many people who visit Britain say it'sdifficult to make friends with British people. They say we're cold, reserved, unfriendly...B: I think it's true. Look at Americans or Australians. They speak the same language, but they're much more open. And you see it when you travel, people - I mean strangers - speak to you on the street or on the train. British people seldom speak on the train. Or the bus. Not in London, anyway.A: 'Not in London'. That's it. Capital cities are full of tourists and are never very friendly. People are different in other parts of the country.B: Not completely. I met a woman once, an Italian. She's been working in Manchester for two years,and no one - not one of her colleagues - had ever invited her to their home. They were friendly to her at work, but nothing else. She couldn't believe it. She said that would never happen in Italy.A: You know what they say – 'an Englishman's home is his castle'. It’s really difficult to get inside.B: Yeah. It's about being private. You go home to your house and your garden and you close the door. It's your place.A: That's why the British don't like flats. They prefer to live in houses.B: That’s true.Q12. What do foreigners generally think of British people according to the woman?Q13. What may British people typically do one the train according to the man?Q14. What does the man say about the Italian woman working in Manchester?Q15. Why do British people prefer houses to flats?听力篇章Passage OneIn college, time is scarce, and consequently, very precious. At the same time, expenses in college pile up surprisingly quickly. A part time job is a good way to balance costs while ensuring there is enough time left over for both academic subjects and after-class activities.If you are a college student looking for a part time job, the best place to start your job search is right on campus. There are tons of on-campus job opportunities, and as a student, you’ll automatically be given hiringpriority. Plus, on-campus jobs eliminate commuting time, and could be a great way to connect with academic and professional resources at your university. Check with your school’s career service or employment office for help to find a campus job. Of course, there are opportunities for part-time work off-campus,too. If you spend a little time digging for the right part time jobs, you’ll save yourself time when you find a job that leaves you with enough time to get your school work done, too. If you are a college student looking for work but worry you won’t have enough time to devote to academic subjects, consider working as a study hall or a library monitor. Responsibilities generally include supervising study spaces to ensure that a quiet atmosphere is maintained. It’s a pretty easy job, but one with lots of downtime-which means you will have plenty of time to catch up on reading, do homework or study for an exam.Q16: What does the speaker say about college students applying for on-campus jobs?Q17: What can students do to find a campus job according to the speaker?Q18: What does the speaker say is a library monitor’s responsibility?Passage TwoAgricultural workers in green tea fields near Mt. Kenya are gathering the tea leaves. It is beautiful to see. The rows of tea bushes are straight. All appears to be well. But the farmers who planted the bushes are worried. Nelson Kibara is one of them. He has been growing tea in the Kerugoya area for 40 years.He says the prices this year have been so low that he has made almost no profit. He says he must grow different kinds of tea if he is to survive.Mr. Kibara and hundreds of other farmers have been removing some of their tea bushes and planting a new kind of tea developed by the Tea Research Foundation of Kenya. Its leaves are purple and brown. When the tea is boiled, the drink has a purple color. Medical researchers have studied the health benefits of the new tea. They say it is healthier than green tea and could be sold for a price that is three to four times higher than the price of green tea.But Mr. Kibara says he has not received a higher price for his purple tea crop.He says the market for the tea is unstable and he is often forced to sell his purple tea for the same price as green tea leaves. He says there are not enough buyers willing to pay more for the purple tea.Q19. Why have tea farmers in Kenya decided to grow purple tea?Q20. What do researchers say about purple tea?Q21. What does Mr. Kibara find about purple tea?Passage ThreeToday's consumers want beautiful handcrafted s to wear and to have fortheir home environment. They prefer something unique and they demand quality. Craftsmen today are meeting this demand. People and homes are showing great change as more and more unique handcrafted items become available. Handcrafts are big business. No long does a good craftsman have to work in a job he dislikes all day and then try to create at night. He has earned his professional status. He is now a respected member of society. Parts of the fun of being a craftsman is meeting other craftsmen. They love to share their ideas and materials and help others find markets for their work. Craftsmen have helped educate consumers to make wise choices. They help them become aware of design and technique. They help them relate their choice to its intended use. They often involve consumers in trying the craft themselves. When a group of craftsmen expends to include more members, a small craft organization is formed. Such an organization does a lot in training workshops in special media, craft marketing techniques, craft fairs and sales, festivals, TV appearances and demonstrations. State art councils help sponsor local arts and crafts festivals which draw crowds of tourist consumers. This boosts the local economy considerably because tourists not only buy crafts, but they also use the restaurants and hotels and other services of the area.Q22. What does the speaker say about today's consumers?Q23. What does the speaker say about a good craftsman in the past?Q24. What do craftsmen help consumers do?Q25. Why do state art councilshelp sponsor local arts and crafts festivals?阅读答案：Part III Reading Comprehension (40 minutes)Section A26.

大学英语四级作文真题范文
大学英语四级作文真题范文提到大学英语四级考试，那可真是让我有一肚子的话要说。
记得当年我准备考四级的时候，那叫一个紧张又兴奋。
那段时间，每天早上我都是被自己定的无数个闹钟从美梦中拽出来的。
眼睛都还没完全睁开，就迷迷糊糊地摸到英语单词书，开始了一天的“战斗”。
嘴里嘟囔着那些长得差不多的单词，感觉自己就像个被单词施了魔法的小迷糊。
我们学校的图书馆，那可是备战四级的“主阵地”。
每天我都早早地去占座，生怕去晚了就只能站着或者找个旮旯角落蹲着学习。
一进图书馆的门，就能看到一群和我一样怀揣着四级梦想的小伙伴们。
大家的表情那叫一个丰富，有皱着眉头苦思冥想的，有眼睛瞪得大大的拼命背单词的，还有边写边念念有词的。
我找了个靠窗的位置坐下，阳光透过窗户洒在桌子上，本应该是很美好的场景，可我却无心欣赏。
打开四级真题试卷，那密密麻麻的英文字母就像一群调皮的小精灵，在我眼前跳来跳去，让我眼花缭乱。
听力部分更是让我头疼，那语速快得就像火箭，我还没反应过来，一句话就过去了。
听着听着，我就开始走神，思绪不知道飘到哪里去了。
等回过神来，已经错过了好几道题，心里那个懊恼啊！做阅读理解的时候，我感觉自己就像在一片文字的海洋里拼命挣扎。
每个单词都认识，可组合在一起就不明白是什么意思了。
看着时间一分一秒地过去，心里越来越着急，手心里全是汗。
写作文的时候，我更是绞尽脑汁。
平时背的那些模板和句型，到了关键时刻，就像躲猫猫一样藏起来了，怎么也想不起来。
只能凭着自己那点可怜的词汇量，东拼西凑，写出来的句子自己都觉得别扭。
还记得有一次模拟考试，我的成绩特别不理想。
看着试卷上的分数，我的心都凉了半截。
回到宿舍，我一头栽倒在床上，感觉整个世界都变得灰暗了。
室友们看到我这样，纷纷过来安慰我，给我加油打气。
那一刻，我心里特别感动，也暗暗发誓一定要更加努力。
从那以后，我每天都给自己制定详细的学习计划，规定好每个时间段要完成的任务。
早上背单词，下午做真题，晚上练听力。
2016英语四级作文
2016英语四级作文英文回答：As a language model, I can certainly fulfill your request. 。
I believe that using two languages to communicate can be very beneficial. For example, when I was in college, I had a roommate from China who spoke very little English. We often used both English and Chinese to communicate with each other. This not only helped me improve my Chinese language skills, but it also helped my roommate improve her English. 。
Additionally, using two languages can also help people express themselves more effectively. For instance, when I travel to a foreign country, I often find it easier to communicate with locals if I can speak their language. It helps me to connect with them on a deeper level and understand their culture better.中文回答：我相信使用两种语言进行交流会非常有益。
比如，当我在大学时，我有一个来自中国的室友，她的英语水平很有限。
我们经常用英语和中文交流。
这不仅帮助我提高了中文水平，也帮助了我的室友提高了英语水平。

英语四级作文2016年12月2016年12月四级作文题目，The Impact of Social Media on Interpersonal Relationships。
参考范文：The Impact of Social Media on Interpersonal Relationships。
With the rapid development of technology, social media has become an integral part of our daily lives. It has greatly changed the way we communicate and interact with others. However, the impact of social media on interpersonal relationships is a topic of debate.On the one hand, social media has made it easier for people to stay connected with friends and family. With just a few clicks, we can share our thoughts, photos, and videos with our loved ones who are miles away. This has undoubtedly strengthened our interpersonal relationshipsand made it easier to maintain long-distance friendships.In addition, social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram have provided a space for people to express themselves and connect with like-minded individuals,leading to the formation of new friendships and communities.On the other hand, the overreliance on social media has also led to negative impacts on interpersonal relationships. Many people have become addicted to social media, spending hours scrolling through their newsfeeds and neglectingreal-life interactions. This has resulted in a decrease in face-to-face communication and a lack of meaningful connections. Moreover, the constant comparison andvalidation-seeking behavior on social media have led to feelings of inadequacy and jealousy, which can strain relationships and lead to conflicts.In conclusion, social media has had both positive and negative impacts on interpersonal relationships. While it has made it easier to stay connected with others and form new connections, it has also led to a decrease in face-to-face communication and feelings of inadequacy. It isimportant for us to strike a balance and use social mediain a mindful way to maintain healthy and meaningful relationships.高质量仿写：The Influence of Artificial Intelligence on Employment。

The Most Impressing Course in My College LifeDuring the two years of college life, I have attended many special courses, among which the most impressed one is psychology. I still remembered the days when I was fed up with my major Math, which frustrated me so much. Till I fortunately select one of the most fascinating optional courses lectured by Professor Wang.Time gone back to the first class of Mr. Wang, I found a little old man came in the classroom with a thick book of psychology. Mysteriously, I first unveiled and explored the myth within it by the vivid demonstration of Mr. Wang, and became fascinated with this course. In the following days, it Mr. Wang's lectures give us an insight into psychological phenomenons reflected in ordinary people’s daily lives by illustrating examples in reality.To be frank, it is the psychology class that enlightens my soul of exploring the unknown world and stimulate my desire to learn. Undoubtedly, psychology is the most impressing course for me in college.WeChat, also called Weixin in Chinese, is a social mobile application with voice and text messaging communication services. The app of WeChat is available on Android and iPhone phones covering people from more than 100 countries. WeChat has become increasingly popular among people of all ages, especially in China, because of its instant messaging and multifunctions. WeChat provides some basic functions, including various ways of instant messaging, such as text messages, voice messages, walkie talkies and free stickers. Users can also send pictures, videos, namecards, coupons and lucky money packages to anyone in the contact lists. Besides, WeChat enables group chat, free call, video call, moments sharing and so on. As WeChat supports wifi and 3G network, users can make some free calls or video calls easily by pressing the specified button, which just costs a little.

Specific public account subscribers utilize the platforms for different aspects, like hospital preregistration and credit card service, etc. Combining convenient multifunctions and low cost, WeChat seems to seize the chance to get great popularity throughout the world.

It reminds me that a strong will plays a significant role in our life.I firmly believe that “Where there is a will, there is a way”. In terms of the academic performance, a strong will exerts a great influence on student’s academic performances. A strong will of acquiring the knowledge and resisting the temptation of entertainment motivates students to try their best in order to pursue the academic excellence. When it comes to the musical mastery, it is well known that the key to acquiring proficiency in musical instrument is a strong will of repetition. For example, the famous pianist Lang Lang plays the piano from 5amevery day and practices over and over again.From my perspective, in order to achieve success, we must exercise our perseverance and strong willpower. For us university students, we need to get prepared, take things seriously, try to cultivate our strong will, and pursue our goals through persistence.范文：l范文一：The Importance of Reading LiteratureAs is humorously portrayed in the cartoon, a teacher is handing a classic literature book to a student, asking the student to “just read it as if you are reading a long text message.”Obviously, the symbolical meaning of this picture is to show us the importance of reading literature.It should be generally acknowledged that classic literature plays a significant role not only in preserving the essence of great minds but also in enhancing the quality of one's life. To begin with, literature as the collection of great minds will help us enormously broaden our horizons, experiencing things we won’t have the chance to do as well as lives we won’t be able to enjoy. What is more, those fine stories selected and conveyed by the great author, although happened in the past, still carry some useful information and implication for our daily lives. In addition, the beautiful words and sentences flowing in the pages of excellent literature can greatly ease our tiredness, making us feel easy and quiet.Therefore, we ought to fully realize the importance of reading literature. Just as the teacher in the picture puts, reading literature should be as easy and common as reading text messages. Facing the coming challenges in the days ahead, we need to equip us with not only science but also literature by which we can beautify our life and the world.Whether to take a job or go to a graduate school?来源：2017年四级真题话题：校园创建者：河北科技大学于晓芳有范文要求：Suppose you have two options upon graduation: one is to take a job in a company and the other to go to a graduate school. You are to make a choice between the two. Write an essay to explain the reasons for your choice. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.范文：Job hunting becomes increasingly tough for college graduates, for the larger number of graduates doesn’t balance with the limited job opportunities. As a result, more and more graduates choose to further their study. For me, I prefer going to a graduate school to continue my education.From a personal perspective, further education can equip me with more solid and profound knowledge for my future job, so the education in a graduate school can actually serveas a stepping stone in my future job hunting. On a community level, the experience of internship during school can also well develop my social skills of communicating and cooperating with my workmates. In a larger sense, the increasingly competitive job market is gradually raising its standards for the job hunters. Taking all these into account, the advantages seem to lie with the candidates with higher degrees.2016年12月四级真题作文第一套：就业还是创业来源：2016年四级真题话题：就业创建者：嘉应学院陈昭霞有范文要求：Directions：For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay. Suppose you have two options upon graduation: one is to find a job somewhere and the other to start a business of your own. You are to make a decision. Write an essay to explain the reasons for your decision. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.范文：范文一：Upon graduation, virtually all college students will confront the problem of the career choice，which is truly a tough choice. Students' opinions differ greatly on this issue. Some hold that priority should be given to start a business of your own, but others take the attitude that finding a job is the best choice influencing their future.As to myself, I prefer the latter view. An opportunity to start a business exerts a tremendous fascination on a great number of people, with no exception to me. In my view, With the competition in the job market becoming increasingly fierce for college graduates，some ambitious students have tried their hands at launching their own businesses. Over the years，there have been many successful cases of student entrepreneurship and such attempts should be encouraged and promoted by both the universities and the society at large. What’s more, college students who start businesses are pioneers，among whom will be born China’s future business leaders. Faced with unknown challenges, they are audacious enough to embark on a perilous journey while most of their peers enjoy stable salaries by working as white-collars at high-end office buildings.All in all, the essential difference between the students who find a job or those students who create their own businesses is that the former are docile followers whereas the latter are aggressive trailblazers. For this reason，business-launching college graduates are more admirable, and thus they command our deep respect.范文二：Much controversy has been aroused about whether the students should find a job or start their own business after graduation. Taking a look around, we can find that some graduates bustle around job markets, while others choose to run a shop on TMall. However, I prefer the former choice.From my perspective, there are good reasons to find a job in the first several years after their graduation. First and foremost, if a graduate intends to accumulate working experience and learn from the seniors, it is advisable for him to find a job. It is an undeniable fact that the theoretical knowledge will provide the graduates with the ability to consider things comprehensively, however, only under the integration with practice can the rigid knowledge be useful for their future development. Inevitably, doing something small is the premise of undertaking something great. Take Jack Ma, the founder of Alibaba and taobao, for example. He also finds some jobs before establishing his own career, laying a solid foundation for his later success.Consequently, it is of great necessity to find a job after graduation. I firmly believe that it will continue to bring about more returns to our life and future.范文三：In the past two years of my college life, I have never ceased to think what kind of workI shall take up upon graduation. Although my ideas are not consistent, I have now decided to starta business of my own as my lifelong career.A variety of factors have led me to make this decision over other more lucrative ones. To begin with, running my own business means freedom and independence. As a person having my own business, I am free to use my own ideas and make my own decisions, a privilege not everyone can have, even those with highly-paid positions. More importantly, I like starting my own business in that it offers a certain peace of mind. No more rushing to catch a morning bus, no more anxiety to please a boss, no more worries about your paycheck which is steady, if not handsome.Nothing, not even a big salary, can equal the satisfaction of being your own boss and a gentle peace of life.亮点词汇：cease停止take up从事upon graduation毕业时consistent连续的lifelong终生的career职业 a variety of 很多factor原因lucrative诱惑性的to begin with首先freedom自由independence独立privilege特权highly-paid position高薪职位more importantly更为重要的是in that由于peace安静rush匆忙paycheck收入steady稳定的handsome丰厚的、英俊的equal抵得上gentle安宁的2016年12月四级真题作文第三套：就业还是考研来源：2016年四级真题话题：就业创建者：嘉应学院陈昭霞有范文要求：Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay.

2016年12月英语四级作文
2016年12月英语四级作文With the advent of the digital age, social media has becomean integral part of our daily lives. It has revolutionizedthe way we communicate, interact, and share information. However, the impact of social media on interpersonal communication is a topic of much debate. In this essay, Iwill explore the positive and negative effects of socialmedia on our ability to connect with one another.On the positive side, social media has made it easier for people to stay in touch with friends and family, regardlessof geographical distance. It allows for instant communication through various platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. This has been particularly beneficial for thosewho are away from their loved ones due to work, study, orother reasons. Additionally, social media has given a voiceto the voiceless, providing a platform for people to express their opinions and share their stories with a global audience.However, the negative effects of social media oninterpersonal communication cannot be ignored. One of themost significant issues is the decline in face-to-face interaction. As people become more reliant on digital communication, they may neglect the importance of developing and maintaining real-life social skills. This can lead to a decrease in empathy and an increase in misunderstandings, as non-verbal cues and emotional nuances are often lost indigital conversations.Moreover, the rise of social media has also led to the spread of misinformation and cyberbullying. The anonymity and reach of social media can embolden individuals to engage in harmful behaviors that they might not exhibit in real life. This can have severe consequences on the mental health and well-being of those targeted.In conclusion, while social media has undoubtedly made communication more convenient and accessible, it is crucial to be aware of its potential drawbacks. It is essential to strike a balance between online and offline interactions to maintain healthy interpersonal relationships. We should also promote digital literacy and encourage responsible use of social media to mitigate its negative impacts.Word Count: 350 words。

2016年英语四级作文英文回答：In the tapestry of life, we are constantly faced with the delicate balance between the familiar and the unknown. The allure of the known offers us a comforting sense of security, while the beckoning call of the unknown beckons us to explore uncharted territories. It is in this interplay between the two that we find both our comfort and our growth.Navigating the familiar provides us with a sense of stability and predictability. We find solace in the routines of our daily lives, the comfort of familiar surroundings, and the predictability of our relationships. The known offers us a sense of belonging, a reassurance that we are not alone in this vast and often bewildering world.However, it is in embracing the unknown that we trulydiscover and grow. Stepping outside of our comfort zones, we encounter new experiences, meet new people, and learn new things. The unknown challenges our assumptions, broadens our perspectives, and helps us evolve as individuals. It is through the exploration of the uncharted that we find new possibilities, discover our hidden strengths, and push the boundaries of our own abilities.The key to thriving in this delicate balance lies in recognizing that the familiar and the unknown are not mutually exclusive. Embracing the familiar provides us with a foundation of stability, while venturing into the unknown fuels our growth and discovery. By finding a harmonious blend between the two, we can navigate the complexities of life with resilience, adaptability, and a sense of wonder.中文回答：在人生的画卷中，我们时常面临着熟悉与未知的微妙平衡。
2016年英语四级作文
2016年英语四级作文英文回答：As a college student, I believe that learning a second language is extremely important. First of all, being bilingual can open up a world of opportunities when it comes to career prospects. For example, many international companies are looking for employees who can speak multiple languages in order to communicate with clients and business partners from different countries. In fact, I have a friend who was hired by a multinational corporation because she was fluent in both English and Spanish.Secondly, learning a second language can also help us to better understand and appreciate different cultures. When we are able to communicate with people from other countries in their own language, it shows that we respect and value their culture. For instance, I once traveled to China and was able to speak Mandarin with the locals. They were so happy that I took the time to learn their language,and it made my travel experience much more enriching.中文回答：作为一名大学生，我认为学习第二语言非常重要。

In the contemporary era, technology plays a pivotalrole in shaping various aspects of our lives. From communication to education, from healthcare to entertainment, technological advancements have revolutionized the way we live, work, and interact with each other. In this essay, we will delve into the multifaceted impacts of technology on modern society.To begin with, one of the most evident impacts of technology is its influence on communication. The advent of smartphones, social media platforms, and instant messaging apps has made communication faster, more convenient, and more accessible than ever before. People can now connect with friends and family across the globe within seconds,fostering closer relationships and transcending geographical barriers. However, this increased connectivity has also brought about challenges such as digital overload, loss of face-to-face interaction, and issues related to online privacy and security.Moreover, technology has revolutionized the field of education. With the rise of e-learning platforms, online courses, and educational apps, learning is no longer confined to the traditional classroom setting. Students now have access to a vast repository of knowledge at their fingertips, enabling personalized learning experiences tailored to their individual needs and preferences. Additionally, technology has made education more inclusive and accessible to marginalized communities, bridging the gap between learners from different socio-economic backgrounds. However, concerns have been raised regarding the quality of online education, digital distractions, and the digital divide that persists in certain regions.Furthermore, technology has transformed the landscape of healthcare. From telemedicine and wearable devices toelectronic health records and medical robots, advancementsin technology have enhanced the efficiency, accuracy, and accessibility of healthcare services. Patients can now consult with healthcare professionals remotely, monitortheir health in real-time, and access medical informationat their convenience. However, the reliance on technologyin healthcare also raises ethical concerns related to data privacy, patient confidentiality, and the potential dehumanization of medical care.In addition to communication, education, and healthcare, technology has also revolutionized the way we work and entertain ourselves. The rise of automation, artificial intelligence, and remote work technologies has transformed industries, creating new job opportunities while alsoraising concerns about job displacement and economic inequality.

2016年英语4级作文Title: The Influence of Technology on Education。
In the 21st century, technology has revolutionized every aspect of our lives, including education. The integration of technology into education has brought about significant changes, shaping the way students learn and teachers teach. This essay explores the impact of technology on education, focusing on its advantages and challenges.Firstly, technology enhances the learning experience by providing access to vast amounts of information. The internet, digital libraries, and educational apps offer students opportunities to explore subjects beyond the confines of traditional textbooks. For instance, students can access interactive simulations to understand complex scientific concepts or engage in virtual tours to explore historical landmarks. This accessibility fosters self-directed learning and allows students to pursue theirinterests at their own pace.Furthermore, technology facilitates personalized learning experiences. Adaptive learning platforms use algorithms to analyze students' performance and tailor instruction to meet their individual needs. For example, students struggling with math concepts can receive targeted exercises and immediate feedback to reinforce their understanding. Personalized learning not only improves academic outcomes but also enhances student engagement and motivation.In addition, technology promotes collaboration and communication in the classroom. Tools such as video conferencing, online forums, and collaborative documents enable students to collaborate on projects regardless of their geographical location. Moreover, social media platforms provide avenues for students to share ideas, discuss topics, and seek feedback from peers and experts. Collaborative learning fosters critical thinking, communication, and teamwork skills essential for success in the 21st-century workforce.Despite its numerous advantages, technology in education also poses challenges. One significant concern is the digital divide, referring to the gap between those who have access to technology and those who do not. Inequitable access to technology exacerbates existing disparities in education, disadvantaging students from underserved communities. Bridging the digital divide requires concerted efforts to ensure equitable access to devices, internet connectivity, and digital resources for all students.Moreover, the proliferation of technology in classrooms raises concerns about its potential negative impact on student well-being. Excessive screen time and digital distractions can lead to decreased attention spans, disrupted sleep patterns, and increased stress levels among students. It is essential for educators and policymakers to promote responsible use of technology and emphasize the importance of digital literacy and wellness.In conclusion, technology has profoundly transformed education, offering numerous benefits such as access toinformation, personalized learning, and enhanced collaboration. However, it also presents challenges, including the digital divide and concerns about student well-being. By harnessing the potential of technology while addressing its challenges, we can create an inclusive and effective educational environment that prepares studentsfor success in the digital age.。

Therefore, it is crucial for students to enhance their English competency and excel in these tests to stay ahead of the competition.The English proficiency tests evaluate a candidate's comprehensive language skills including listening, reading, writing, and translating. Among these components, writing stands out as the most challenging aspect for the majority of test-takers. It requires a solid grasp of grammar rules, a extensive vocabulary, and the ability to articulate thoughts coherently and cohesively within a stipulated time frame. Many students struggle with this section due to inadequate practice, lack of confidence, or limited language exposure.To address these issues, educational institutions and languagetraining centers have introduced various strategies and resources. Firstly, specialized writing courses are offered to equip students with the necessary skills and techniques to tackle different writing tasks effectively. These courses cover topics such as essay structure, paragraph organization, logical flow, and effective use of transitional devices. Secondly, practice materials and sample essays are provided to familiarize students with the examination format, question types, and expected standards. Furthermore, regular writing assignments and peer review sessions are integrated into the curriculum to encourage continuous practice and feedback.Additionally, the advent of digital technology has revolutionized the learning experience. Online platforms and mobile applications provide interactive exercises, writing prompts, and personalized feedback to students, enabling them to hone their skills at their own pace and convenience. Multimedia resources such as podcasts, videos, and virtual classrooms facilitate language immersion and exposure to diverse accents and contexts.Despite these efforts, challenges persist. One significant obstacle is the varying levels of English proficiency among students, stemming from disparities in educational backgrounds, geographical locations, and socioeconomic factors. Tailoring instruction to cater to individual needs and bridging the gap between urban and rural areas remains a daunting task for educators. Moreover, the emphasis on examinationscores and rote learning within the traditional education system may hinder the development of practical English communication skills.To address these challenges, a comprehensive approach is necessary, involving collaboration among educational institutions, policymakers, and industry stakeholders. Firstly, a curriculum reform that promotes interactive and contextualized language learning could enhance students' practical English abilities. Secondly, promoting international exchange programs and immersion experiences can expose students to authentic language environments and diverse cultural perspectives. Thirdly, fostering a supportive and encouraging learning environment that values continuous improvement over mere examination scores can cultivate a genuine interest in language acquisition among students.In conclusion, the English proficiency tests, particularly the writing component, present a formidable challenge for many Chinese students. While efforts are underway to enhance writing skills through specialized courses, practice materials, and digital resources, persistent challenges demand a holistic and collaborative approach. By implementing curriculum reforms, promoting international exposure, and fostering a supportive learning environment, China can nurture a generation of proficient English communicators capable of excelling in a globalized world.。
