四级真题范文(06.1-12.6)

12.6On Excessive PackagingExcessive packageing has increasingly become a common concern of the public.A package is supposed to serve as a cover of the product to keep it clean and prevent it from being damaged. However, most of the current packages have already surpassed the mere function of packaging.The reasons for this are obvious. The primary reason, presumably, is that the manufacturers attempt to attract potential customers with delicate packaging, or to cover up the inferior quality of the product. The second reason is that the consumers want to show their sincerity and elegance with beautifully packaged gifts.Personally, I think excessive packaging should be controlled because it conceals the quality of the product, consumes a lot of resources and adds much to the cost of the goods. To improve the present situation, manufacturers had better distinguish family packaging from gift packaging separately so that consumers could make choices according to their own needs.11.12Nothing Succeeds Without a Strong WillMaybe most of us have heard of the humorous saying, "Quitting smoking is the easiest thing in the world. I've done it hundreds of times." But have you ever thought about its implication? Undoubtedly, nothing succeeds without a strong will.Those who claim to have practiced smoking-quitting for hundreds of times fail to have a strong will. Without a strong will, one can never give up smoking once and for all, not to mention being successful in other endeavors. It is a strong will that contributes to the success of the Olympic winners, that results in the spectacular victory of the 2010 World Expo, and that leads to the successful exploration of the moon.Where there is a will, there is a way. Only when the will is strong enough will the way lead us to success.11.6Online ShoppingOnline shopping has become a fashion trend. Almost everyone has experienced online shopping -- some even have got accustomed to it. However, while making our life easier, it may bring us problems as well.Goods ranging from fruit to steak, from a book to an intensive training program, from a film ticket to a package tour can all be purchased without leaving one's home, which saves all the traffic jams, parking inconvenience and queuing time.Nevertheless, goods or services of poor quality, fake products or even Internet frauds may consume rather than save our time, energy and money, turning our online shopping experience into a nightmare. What can we do in order to eat the fish and avoid the bones?Think before you order, and don't allow room for products without signs to show their manufacturing time and place, products of unbelievably low price and productsfree of charge to spoil your life.10.6Due Attention Should Be Given to SpellingIn learning English, spelling receives the least attention among quite a few students nowadays. The reasons are simple but thought-provoking.Topping the list is the prevailing use of computers to handle our daily paper work. Since many word processing softwares are becoming increasingly powerful to correct almost all spelling mistakes, we tend to neglect the exact spelling of many words. Besides, some people hold the notion that as long as one is able to communicate in English, it is not at all important whether he can spell the words he uses or not. Last but not least, our exams do not test spellings so much as they used to, shifting students' attention to other aspects of English acquisition.Therefore, in order to change the situation, students should be encouraged to depend less on automatic spelling-check softwares. At the same time, teachers should highlight the importance of correct spelling, which, to a certain extent, indicates the degree of English level.09.12Create a Green CampusIt is of great importance to make and maintain a green campus in our university or college. Obviously, a growing number of people are beginning to realize that it is our duty to do that in the present days, since the concept of “a green world” has become the focus of the society.The idea of “a green campus” is beyond a green environment. To begin with, the development on the campus is to be sustainable and recyclable. Some of the authorities‟ budget should be on how to reduce of the waste. What‟s more, we‟d better be aware of the seriousness of pollution around us. Thus the idea of environmental protection may become a common occurrence in our daily life.It is necessary that effective actions should be taken to protect our campus from waste and pollution, and hence these activities are to play an increasingly important role in our day-to-day life. Certainly, there is little doubt that further consideration must be paid to our green campuses.09.6Free Admission to MuseumsNowadays, an increasing number of museums are admission-free to visitors home and abroad. The hidden reason behind this is not hard to analyze as there is a growing awareness for the authorities regarding the urgency of popularization of culture, knowledge and history with every person in our society. Only with free access to this live …database‟, can most people enjoy what museums could offer to them.However, free admission to museums might lead to some social problems as well. The most obvious problem is that it might give museums a very heavy economicburden which directly impedes(防碍，阻止) the sustainable development of these organizations. As a result, our government has to work out other ways to collect funds from different channels, which might be difficult to operate or control. On the other hand, free admission attracts too many visitors, some of whom might not be well-purposed and do some conscious or unconscious damage to the valuable treasures which used to be well-preserved.As a university student, I‟m in favor of the free-admission conduct. Yet it is proposed that some measures should be taken to solve the potential problems caused by it. For example, museums can make some regulations to guide the behavior of visitors or set some …closed‟ days for museums for regular maintenance. Only in this way can free-admission to museums become a long- lasting phenomenon and have sustainable development.08.12Limiting the Use of Disposable Plastic BagsThe overuse of plastic bags is always a major problem in China. In the retailing business, billions of plastic bags are used each year. Convenient as they are for consumers, they have become a threat to the environment and a cause for severe waste of resources. Most of them would decompose only after 200 years and some would never.Therefore, the official ban on the use of plastic bags free of charge is of great significance. Not only will our public places look better without all the white pollution, but the saved energy can also be used in more meaningful ways. Furthermore, the ban will also help to strengthen the recycling industry dramatically.Limiting the use of disposable plastic bags is a great and green idea for our life. Why don‟t we applause the wise decision?08.6Recreational ActivitiesWith the development of society and the improvement of people‟s living standard, we are exposed to a wide variety of recreational activities. There is a growing concern over the matter among the general public.Recreational activities are indispensable if we are to remain physically and mentally healthy. The advantages are innumerable. In the first place, they can enrich our life and relieve us from the daily routine so that we can throw ourselves into work and study more energetically with higher efficiency. In the second place, recreational activities can provide us with opportunities to make more friends and share our unique life experiences. Undoubtedly these recreational activities can also cause problems, one of which is the heavy addiction of adolescents to computer games at the expense of their school work.As a university student, I hold that certain recreational activities like sports and singing competition are really beneficial to us and we can take part in them on the condition that our time is well organized. Surely, those that do harm to us should be avoided.07.12What Electives to ChooseAs Chinese universities are becoming more student-oriented, they offer undergraduates and even postgraduates a wide variety of optional courses in addition to their compulsory ones.Granted a high degree of freedom in choosing their favourite electives, students have made different decision. Some select foreign languages to learn, others find it necessary to improve their computer skills, and still others are determined to be more musically talented.As for me, a 20-year-old female sophomore, to boast an attractive figure has always been a dream, so artistic gymnastics is on the top of my list elected courses. So far i have benefited a lot from my choice --- the mental pressure from academic study is released by my physical exercising in the gym.07.6Welcome to Our ClubLadies and gentlemen, welcome to join our English club!

However, in recent years, the 4-hour show is losing its appeal, especially to youngsters.People in increasing numbers choose not to watch the show. They claim that the stereotyped Gala should give way to diverse modern celebrations. However, some other people are faithful audience of it . They argue that the Evening Gala has somewhat become a tradition since it was initiated in the 1980s. What's more, watching the show is an indispensable part of the festival for them.Though the Gala is no longer popular with young people, i myself enjoy watchingthe show with my family. Yet to maintain the interest of the young generation, the organizing committee should develop a program more exciting, more colorful and more entertaining than the previous ones. For example, it's a good idea to invite some big names in China's film and music industries to perform on the Gala stage.06.6On Students Selecting LecturersAt present, in some colleges and universities, students are allowed to select lecturers on their own. It may someday become the main trend when people give more priority to academic freedom.Students would take three major elements into consideration when making elections. First of all, they will take lecturers' teaching styles into account. Teaching styles to students' taste would help them learn more efficiently. Moreover, most students tend to choose lecturers with more experience, because such teachers tend to know more about how to stimulate and inspire students and will help them master their subjects with more ease. Last, students also put emphasis on the lecturers' academic background. From their perspective, teachers with higher academic degrees may provide more enlightening suggestions.Everything has both positive and negative aspects, and students' selecting lecturers is of no exception. It encourages students to be actively involved in the teaching process, and at the meantime, spurs teachers to improve their teaching quality. However, it is possible that some students would choose lecturers blindly without due guidance. And it is not uncommon that some teachers employ some abnormal devices to attract more students, such as promising higher marks or more "freedom" of attendance.06.1Should the University Campus Be Open to Tourists?Nowadays, with the development of society and economy and the improvement of people's living standard, tourism has grown to be a new booming industry. Places with different styles of tourist resources have become tourist destinations, among which the campuses of prestigious universities turn out to be a new focus.Opinions on whether university campuses should be open to tourists vary from individual to individual. Proponents consider it beneficial to both the university and the tourist. The university may be better understood by the visitor, which may enhance its reputation and help attract more talented applicants. On the other hand, young children, when absorbed in the noble and sacred atmosphere, may be stimulated to work even harder to realize their dream of attending universities. Opponents argue that the inflow of tourists may be a disturbance to normal teaching activities.Every advantage has its disadvantage. In my viewpoint, the benefits outweigh the drawbacks on the condition that proper visiting time is scheduled. Anyway, universities should not only be an ivory tower to college students, but also a tourist attraction to all people.。
