Their critics seem to resent them because theyhave a flair for self-promotion and because they have so much money to throw around. ‘It’s iniquitous，’ they say，‘that this entirely unproductive industry (if we can call it that) should absorb millions of pounds each year. It only goes to show how much profit the big companies are making. Why don’t they stop advertising and reduce the price of their goods? After all，it’s the consumer who pays…’The poor old consumer! He’d have to pay a great deal more if advertising didn’t create mass markets for products. It is precisely because of the heavy advertising that consumer goods are so cheap. But we get the wrong idea if we think the only purpose of advertising is to sell goods. Another equally important function is to inform. A great deal of the knowledge we have about household goods derives largely from the advertisements we read. Advertisements introduce us to new products or remind us of the existence of ones we already know about. Supposing you wanted to buy a washing machine，it is more than likely you would obtain details regarding performance，price，etc.，from an advertisement.Lots of people pretend that they never read advertisements，but this claim may be seriously doubted. It is hardly possible not to read advertisements these days. And what fun they often are，too! Just think what a railway station or a newspaper would be like without advertisements. Would you enjoy gazing at a blank wall or readingrailway byelaws while waiting for a train? Would you like to read only closely printed columns of news in your daily paper? A cheerful，witty advertisement makes such a difference to a drab wall or a newspaper full of the daily ration of calamities.We must not forget，either，that advertising makes a positive contribution to our pockets. Newspapers，commercial radio and television companies could not subsist without this source of revenue. The fact that we pay so little for our daily paper，or can enjoy so many broadcast programmes is due entirely to the money spent by advertisers. Just think what a newspaper would cost if we had to pay its full price!Another thing we mustn’t forget is the ‘small ads.’which are in virtually every newspaper and magazine. What a tremendously useful service they perform for the community! Just about anything can be accomplished through these columns. For instance，you can find a job，buy or sell a house，announce a birth，marriage or death in what used to be called the ‘hatch，match and dispatch’column but by far the most fascinating section is the personal or ‘agony’column. No other item in a newspaper provides such entertaining reading or offers such a deep insight into human nature. It’s the best advertisement for advertising there is!1. What is main idea of this passage?A. Advertisement.B. The benefits of advertisement.C. Advertisers perform a useful service to communities.D. The costs of advertisement.2. The attitude of the author toward advertisers isA. appreciative.B. trustworthy.C. critical.D. dissatisfactory.3. Why do the critics criticize advertisers?A. Because advertisers often brag.B. Because critics think advertisement is a “waste of money”。

2020年12月英语六级作文真题及答案

2020年12月英语六级作文真题及答案2020年12月英语六级作文真题及答案题目：如何平衡网络和现实生活？范文：In today's digital age, the line between the virtual world and the real world has become increasingly blurred. As technology advances, people are spending more and more time on the internet, which can lead to a neglect of their real-life relationships and responsibilities. Therefore, it is important to find a balance between the online world and the offline world.Firstly, it is crucial to set boundaries and limits for internet usage. With the convenience and accessibility of the internet, it is easy to get caught up in endless scrolling and browsing. However, excessive internet use can lead to a neglect of important tasks and relationships in the real world. Therefore, it is important to set specific times for internet usage and stick to them. For example, one can allocate a certain amount of time each day for social media or online entertainment, and make sure to prioritize real-life interactions and responsibilities.Secondly, it is essential to engage in activities that promote a healthy balance between the online and offline world. Instead of spending all free time on the internet, one can participate in hobbies and interests that require physical presence and interaction. For example, joining a sports club, taking up a musical instrument, or volunteering in the community can provide opportunities for real-lifesocialization and personal growth. By engaging in these activities, individuals can not only develop new skills and interests, but also strengthen their real-life relationships and connections.Furthermore, it is important to prioritize quality over quantity when it comes to online relationships. While social media platforms allow individuals to connect with a large number of people, it is essential to focus on maintaining meaningful and genuine relationships. Instead of constantly seeking validation and attention from online friends and followers, individuals should invest time and effort in nurturing their real-life relationships with family, friends, and colleagues. This can be achieved by regularly meeting up in person, having meaningful conversations, and supporting each other in times of need.In conclusion, finding a balance between the online world and the offline world is essential in today's digital age. By setting boundaries for internet use, engaging in activities that promote a healthy balance, and prioritizing quality over quantity in online relationships, individuals can ensure that they are not neglecting their real-life responsibilities and relationships. Ultimately, striking a balance between the virtual world and the real world is crucial for personal well-being and happiness.。

They are made up of ice and other frozen liquids and gasses. these dirty snow balls begin to orbit the sun just as the planets do. As a comet gets closer to the sun, some gasses in it begin to unfreeze. They combine with dust particles from the comet to form a huge cloud.

November and December 36 early snow and bone-chilling temperatures in much of the country, part of a year when, for the first time in two 37 , record-cold days will likely turn out to have outnumbered record-warm ones. But the U.S. was the exception; November was the warmest ever 38 , and current data indicates that 2020 is likely to have been the fourth hottest year on record.Enjoy the snow now, because 39 are good that 2020 will be even hotter, perhaps the hottest year since records have been kept.

WritingPart I Writing (30 minutes)1．On Internet Safety1．目前网络安全的状况2．保证网络安全的措施3．我的观点正确答案：On Internet Safety Media stories about hackers gaining access to supposedly secure web sites and obtaining credit card numbers and other personal information suggest that few, if any. web sites are completely secure. It can be difficult to determine what happens to personal information circulating on the Internet. Poor information handling and security practices may cause risks to your privacy by allowing unauthorized access. The risks can be decreased from two sides. For one thing, the users are supposed to improve the self-protection sense when using Internet. They should delete the personal information record or surfing history after online operation and never release these information at unfamiliar or strange web sites. For another, the government is strongly recommended to enforce laws and regulations to protect Internet privacy and strengthen the supervision of Internet criminal. To my thinking, Internet has been making significant contribution to social progress. We should keep developing it healthily by protecting personal privacy in the virtual world.解析：①开篇以黑客进入网站获取他人的信用卡号码为例，说明网络的不安全性。

2020年12月大学英语四级考试模拟题

xx年12月大学英语四级考试模拟题xx年12月大学英语四级考试模拟题Directions: There are 4 reading passages in this part. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) and D). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.Questions 21 to 25 are based on the following passage.There is a difference between science and technology. Science is a method of answering theoretical questions; technology is a method of solving practical problems. Science has to do with discovering the facts and relationships between observable phenomena in nature and with establishing theories that serve to organize thesefacts and relationships; technology has to do with tools, techniques, and procedures for implementing the finding of science.Another distinction between science and technology has to do with the progress in each.Progress in science excludes the human factor. Scientists, who seek to prehend the universe and know the truth within the highest degree of auracy and certainty, cannot pay attention to their own or other people's likes or dislikes or to popular ideas about the fitness of things. What scientists discover may shock or anger people-as did Darwin's theory of evolution. But even an unpleasant truth is more than likely to be useful; besides, we have the choice of refusing to believe it! But hardly so with technology; we do not have the choice of refusing to hear the sonic boom produced by a supersonic aircraft flying overhead; we do not have the option of refusing to breathe polluted air; and we do not have the option of living in a non-atomic age. Unlike science progress, technology must be measured in terms of the human factor. The legitimate purpose of technology is to serve people in general, not merely some people; and future generations, not merely those who presently wish to gain advantage for themselves.Technology must be humanistic if it is to lead to a better world.21. The difference between science and technology lies in that _____.A) the former provides answers to theoretical questions while the latter to practical problemsB) the former seeks to prehend the universe while the latter helps change the material worldC) the former aims to discover the inter-connections of facts and the rules that explain them while the latter, to discover new designs and ways of making the things we use in our daily lifeD) all of the above22. Which of the following may be representative of science?A) The improvement of people's life.B) The theory of people's life.C) Farming tools.D) Mass production.23. Aording to the author, scientific theories _____.A) must be strictly objectiveB) usually take into consideration people's likes and dislikesC) should conform to popular opinionsD) always appear in perfect and finished forms24. The author states that technology itself _____.A) is responsible for widespread pollution andresource exhaustionB) should serve those who wish to gain advantage for themselvesC) will lead to a better world if put to wise useD) will inevitably be for bad purpose25. The tone of the author in this passage is _____.A) positiveB) negativeC) factualD) criticalQuestions 26 to 30 are based on the following passage.Americans have always been ambivalent in their attitudes toward education. On the one hand, free and universal public education was seen as necessary in a democracy, for how else would citizens learn how to govern themselves in a responsible way? On the other hand, America was always a country that offered financial opportunities for which education was not needed: on the road from rags to riches, schooling-beyond the basics of reading, writing, and arithmetic-was an unnecessary detour.Even today, it is still possible for people to achieve financial suess without much education, but the number of situations in which this is possible is decreasing. In today's more plex world, the opportunities for financial suess is closely related to the need for education, especially higher education.Our society is rapidly being one whose chief productis information, and dealing with this information requires more and more specialized education. In other words, we grow up learning more and more about fewer and fewer subjects.In the future, this trend is likely to continue. Tomorrow's world will be even more plex than today's world, and, to manage this plexity, even more specialized education will be needed.26. The topic treated in this passage is _____.A) education in generalB) Americans' attitudesC) higher educationD) American education27. Americans' attitudes toward education have always been _____.A) certain B) contradictoryC) ambitious D) unclear28. Today, financial suess is closely related to the need for _____.A) higher education B) public educationC) responsible citizens D) learning the basics29. It can be inferred from the third paragraph that _____.A) information is our only productB) education in the future will be specializedC) we are entering an age of informationD) we are living in an age of information30. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A) The History of American Education.B) The Need for Specialized Education.C) The Future of the American Educational System.D) Attitudes toward American Education.模板,内容仅供参考。

2020年公共英语四级写作模拟题(最新)

Some people think that changing jobs periodically is good. What is your opinion?【参考范文】In this fast-changing world, job-hopping (leaving the current employer for another employment opportunity) is not a rare scene. Much has been discussed about the gains and losses of such a career move. In my opinion, job-changing is an inevitable step in today's labour market, reflecting the nature of a modem society.A new job implies opportunities for career development, an objective many working people intend to achieve. In general, there are two reasons behind a job holder's motive for a new job. The first is that the current job cannot make the best use of his or her abilities. The second is that he or she cannot improve skills and gain new experience. Both can lessen the possibility of a brighter job prospect.Job-hopping, meanwhile, assists one to survive the keen competition. People are living in a fast-changing world and a. once stable job is now vulnerable. Willingness to stay on the same job is no longer valued as much as before. Any employee, if complacent about the current employment, would be faced with threats posed by others. By comparison, taking the initiative to obtain a better job can at least drive people to increase skills and thereby improving the chance of continued employment.When job-hoppers are craving for new chances, some issues are particularly worthy of concern. The first is adjusting to a new environment, such as working with new colleagues and supervisors. Besides, while valuing a job hopper's resume, employers too often tend to suspect his or her loyalty and resilience. It is therefore imperative for every potential jobseeker to learn the new employer better and evaluate the potential risk.The above-mentioned facts give one a glimpse of the potential results of changing jobs. When the willingness to change a job and seize an opportunity represents a sound career move and provides the thrust for self-development, it might require a job applicant's extra efforts.【解析】换工作/跳槽(job-hopping )的好处：目前的工作不能够充分发挥自己的能力(make the best use of one's abilities)，也不能够提高技能和增加经验(improve skills and gain new experience) 换工作(switching jobs)可以发展多种技能(acquire a wide array of technical skills)，丰富个人简历(enhance the resume)，提高个人的市场价值和工作稳定性(improve marketability and job security)，有助于收人增加 (pay raise);竞争激烈，如果不主动增加技术和经验(improve skills and experience levels)，稳定的工作机会就会很少(continued employment will be meagre)，很容易在竞争中失利(vulnerable to the competition);就职业生存而言(in terms of career survival)，没有高枕无忧的空间(there is no room for complacency);人应该懂得接受挑战，把握机会(take on new challenges and seize opportunities)，这才是理智的职业选择(a sound career move);离开目前的雇主(leave the current employer)会绐自己一种新的期待(a sense of anticipation)，—种新的学习热情(generate an enthusiasm to learn)。

2020年英语四级作文模拟试题及答案(卷四)

2020年英语四级作文模拟试题及答案（卷四）占座We often see there is a table cloth, a book or something else on the desk in the classroom or library, indicating the seat is taken. This kind of phenomenon is very usual in almost all colleges and universities. Strangely enough, most of students seem to take this for granted, and few will protest it.Though most of students’taking seats in advance is for better study, this kind of phenomenon has great negative effects. On the one hand, it is a selfish behavior, which damages other students’interests. Sometimes even if many students come to the classroom very early, they can not find a seat. On the other hand, reserving a seat violates the rule of fairness. No matter how late you come to class, the seat is still reserved for you even though many others are eager for that seat.Considering the above-mentioned, I think, it is high time that we college students took a good look of our behavior. Indeed, only if all of us can improve our consciousness, it is not a difficult task for us to get rid of this kind of phenomenon “reserving a seat”.For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic: Attend Your Classes Regularly。

2020年6月大学英语四级模拟试题：写作2020年6月大学英语四级模拟试题：写作作文话题：On Cosmetic Surgeries1. 近年来，整容现象屡见不鲜2. 出现这个现象的原因3. 我对这个现象的看法和建议范文：On Cosmetic SurgeriesIn recent years, there have appeared more and more artificial beauties around us. Not only those actresses but also many ordinary women are crazy about cosmetic surgeries. They fail to resist the temptation of becoming more beautiful by changing some par ts of their bodies within a few hours’ surgery.What are responsible for the prevalence of cosmetic surgeries? Firstly, thanks to the development of shaping techniques, the chances of successful surgeries have increased greatly, which makes more people begin to believe and accept cosmetic surgeries. Secondly, with the improvement of living standard, people have more money to satisfy their nature of pursuing beauty.From my point of view, cosmetic surgeries have their necessity of existence in modern society. They do help some people build confidence by giving them a beautiful face orfigure. However, cosmetic surgeries cannot bring permanent beauty and might be dangerous. Besides, I think one’s inner beauty is more important. Therefore, I suggest that people should think twice before deciding to accept cosmetic surgeries.。

2020年大学英语六级阅读理解试题及答案(卷四)

2020年大学英语六级阅读理解试题及答案（卷四）I lost my sight when I was four years old by falling off a box car in a freight yard in Atlantic City and landing on my head. Now I am thirty two.I can vaguely remember the brightness of sunshine and what color red is. It would be wonderful to see again, but a calamity can do strange things to people. It occurred to me the other day that I might not have come to love life as I do if I hadn't been blind. I believe in life now. I am not so sure that I would have believed in it so deeply, otherwise. I don't mean that I would prefer to go without my eyes. I simply mean that the loss of them made me appreciate the more what I had left.Life, I believe, asks a continuous series of adjustments to reality. The more readily a person is able to make these adjustments, the more meaningful his own private world becomes. The adjustment is never easy.I was bewildered and afraid. But I was lucky. My parents and my teachers saw something in me--a potential to live, you might call it--which I didn't see, and they made me want to fight it out with blindness.The hardest lesson I had to learn was to believe in myself. That was basic. If I hadn't been able to do that, I would have collapsed and become a chair rocker on the front porch for the rest of my life. When I say belief in myself I am not talking about simply the kind of self confidence that helps me down an unfamiliar staircase alone. That is part of it. But I mean something bigger than that: an assurance that I am,despite imperfections, a real, positive person; that somewhere in the sweeping, intricate pattern of people there is a special place where I can make myself fit.It took me years to discover and strengthen this assurance. It had to start with the most elementary things. Once a man gave me an indoor baseball. I thought he was mocking me and I was hurt. "I can't use this." I said. "Take it with you," he urged me, "and roll it around." The words stuck in my head. "Roll it around! "By rolling the ball I could hear where it went. This gave me an idea how to achieve a goal I had thought impossible: playing baseball. At Philadelphia's Overbrook School for the Blind I invented a successful variation of baseball. We called it ground ball.All my life I have set ahead of me a series of goals and then tried to reach them, one at a time. I had to learn my limitations. It was no good to try for something I knew at the start was wildly out of reach because that only invited the bitterness of failure. I would fail sometimes anyway but on the average I made progress.1. We can learn from the beginning of the passage thatA. the author lost his sight because of a car crash.B. the author wouldn't love life if the disaster didn't happen.C. the disaster made the author appreciate what he had.D. the disaster strengthened the author's desire to see.2. What's the most difficult thing for the author?A. How to adjust himself to reality.B. Building up assurance that he can find his place in life.C. Learning to manage his life alone.D. To find a special work that suits the author.3. According to the context, "a chair rocker on the front porch" in paragraph 3 means that the authorA. would sit in a rocking chair and enjoy his life.B. was paralyzed and stayed in a rocking chair.C. would lose his will to struggle against difficulties.D. would sit in a chair and stay at home.4. According to the passage, the baseball and encouragement offered by the manA. hurt the author's feeling.B. gave the author a deep impression.C. directly led to the invention of ground ball.D. inspired the author.5. According to the passage, which of the following is CORRECT?A. The author set goals for himself but only invited failure most of the time.B. The author suggested not trying something beyond one's ability at the beginning.。

通常要在首段提出话题，以及关于此话题不同的反应，并表明自己的观点，接下来要在主题段落里论述理由，最后在结尾重申一下自己的观点。

参考范文：My View on Plastic SurgeryIn recent years, more and more people, especially some young girls choose to take plastic surgeries. Some people argue that this kind of surgery can improve one’s appearance, thus secure a good job. Others hold a different opinion, they consider plastic surgery as a waste of money. Personally, I agree with the latter.Firstly, beauty is only skin-deep, as the saying goes, virtue is more important than appearance. Plastic surgery cannot improve one’s character. Who do you think is more popular, an ordinary girl with charming personality, or a beautiful girl with arrogant manner? Secondly, success relieson one’s abilities but not a ppearance. Some people, especially young girls dream to find a good job after taking plastic surgery. For example, it takes one at least 30,000 Yuan to have double eyelid. Fourthly, people have to bear the risks of an unsuccessful surgery which will be a lifelong pain.All in all, it is not advisable for people to takeplastic surgeries. We can get what we want by improving our inner qualities, such as our personality and ability, and there is no need to endure the pains and economic loss of a plastic surgery.重要词汇：Beauty is only skin-deep, as the saying goes就像俗语所说的那样，外在美不过是表面现象bear the risks 承担风险competent and well-trained people 有真才实学的人arrogant 傲慢的，自大的大家对于整容应该也都有自己的看法，今天的六级作文预测题做完以后，考生能够借鉴范文的写作技巧和套路来对比自己的不足，每天进步一点，考试的时候成功的概率自然提升很多。

2020年公共英语考试四级模拟试题(4).doc

2020 年公共英语考试四级模拟试题（ 4 ）Section III Reading Comprehension(45 points)阅读理解Text 1No 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 tellthe world that the person who wears one has no value as an individual but only lives to function as a part of the whole.The individual in a uniform loses all self-worth. There arethose who say that wearing a uniform gives a person a senseof identification with a large, more important concept. Whatcould be more important than the individual oneself? If an organization is so weak that it must rely on cloth and buttonsto inspire its members, that organization has no right tocontinue its existence.Others say that the practice of making persons wear uniforms, say in school, eliminates all envy and competition ina matter of dress, such that a poor person who cannot affordgood-quality clothing, why would anyone strive to be better? Itis only a short step from forcing everyone to wear the sameclothing to forcing everyone to drive the same car, have thesame type of house, eat the same type of food. Whenthis happens, all incentive to improve one’s life is removed. Why would parents bother to work hard so that their childrencould have a better life than they had when they know thattheir children are going to be forced to have exactly thesame life that they had? Uniforms also hurt the economy.Right now, billions of dollars are spent on thefashion industry yearly.Thousands of persons are employed in designing, creating,and marketing different types of clothing. If everyone wereforced to wear uniforms, artistic personnel would beunnecessary. Salespersons would be superfluous as well ： why bother to sell the only items that are available? The wearingof uniforms would destroy the fashion industry which in turnwould have a ripple effect on such industries as advertisingand promotion. Without advertising, newspapers, magazines,and television would not be able to remain in business. Ourentire information and entertainment industries would founder.41、The author ’s viewpoint on uniforms can best bedescribed as __________.A.practicalB.hystericalC.radicalD.critical42、Judged from its style, this passage might be found in__________.A. a children’s comics bookB. an editorial in a paperC. a sociology textbookD. a political platform43、It can be inferred that the author believes that__________.A. individuals have no self-worth when they becomepart of an organizationB. individuals are more important than organizationsC. individuals are not so important as organizationsD. individuals are the same important as organizations44、The author brings in the example of a parent strivingto make life better for his children to make the point that__________.A. parents have responsibilities for their childrenB. uniforms would be less expensive than clothing for childrenC. uniforms cause dissension between parents and childrenD. individual motivation would be destroyed by uniforms( 本题分值： 1.5 分) 【准确答案】 D45、The last word of the passage "founder" probably means __________.A.collapseB.shrinkC.disappearD.establish阅读 (2)公共英语 PETS四级考试由笔试和口试组成。
