Model Test 1A Letter of SympathyIn today’s newspaper, I read about the severe flood in your hometown and I am writing to extend my deepest concerns.It hurts to see all the pictures of destroyed homes and homeless people in the tragic flood. I couldn’t help shedding tears when I saw a little girl crying on the roof of her house and asking for help. I am especially worried about you, your family and all your friends there. I am crossing my fingers for you now in a hope that you are all safe and sound..I can only imagine how difficult this must be for you, and I want to extend to you my sincere support. Our government and many nongovernmental organizations are initiating various campaigns to urge people to donate money and necessary materials to your hometown. I donated all my allowance that I have been saving for years.I feel extremely sorry about this tragedy, and I am looking forward to hearing from you. Please pass my concern on to your parents.Model Test 2My View on the Income GapNow the income gap is getting wider and wider. In some privately owned firms, joint-ventures, or foreign-funded companies, an executive’s yearly income can be ten times or even a hundred times as much as an ordinary worker’s.Faced with this situation, people will undoubtedly have different opinions. Some believe that it benefits the social and economic development since driving force of growth is often derived from the gap. In other words, the gap inspires people and gives a push a advancement. Others speak of its side effect. Income gap is often the root of social unrest and also contrary to a socialist country’s principle.From my point of view, while it is true that the income gap may stimulate social development to some extent, it causes trouble as well. An income gap that is too wide for most people to bear can neither contribute to the stability of a country nor promote its long-term economic development. Therefore, while we are pursuing a rapid development of our country, we should take some actions to resolve the problem of an increasingly wide income gap.Model Test 3To Be a Qualified Global CitizenWith the growing trend of globalization, citizens all over the world are more like living in one extended family---the Earth. Family members---Easterners or Westerners, young or old, male or female---should contribute to its harmonious construction and development.Basically, to be a qualified global citizen means to think and act on global terms. As the hope and backbone of the country, contemporary Chinese college students should always bear in mind issues of common concern, such as energy crisis, environment pollution, global warming, terrorism, etc. actions speak louder than words. Qualified global citizens will take action in their daily life: using recyclable materials, saving water, electricity and other natural resources, and respecting other people and their values…The slogan of the 29th Olympic Games held in Beijing says: “One world, one dream.”Only when we share responsibility, care about and collaborate with each other, can we realize our dream and live in harmony as global citizens.Model Test 4School or MajorRecent years have witnessed a steady increase in the popularity of such majors as international finance, finance and accountancy, etc. In the meantime, whether to choose a good university or a good major has provoked a debate.It is true that graduates from prestigious universities are more popular in labor markets, so many students would spare no efforts to be enrolled in good universities, which means standing on the threshold of a promising career after graduation. But even the best university has unpopular majors, thus graduates from these majors could encounter much difficulty in finding a job, let alone a good one, which means they would be out of work immediately after graduation.What about a good major then? Maybe you are studying in a common university, but your major is of great competition, then do you still need to worry about your future? A good major can, to some extent, ensure your future success. If your major is exclusive to only several universities, you will surely be especially competitive in the real world. Do not merely focus on the name of a university---choosing a good major suitable to you is wiser.Model Test 5The Teacher-Student RelationshipA good teacher-student relationship can effectively further students to a higher level in study. Teachers with patience and understanding encourage their students instead of pushing or forcing them forward. This sort of relationship makes learning so enjoyable and interesting that students would work hard willingly.However, a bad relationship between teachers and students seriously weakens the achievement of teaching. It discourages students from learning, leaving them with a wrong and negative attitude towards study. Thus, teaching also becomes an unpleasant task, which forms a vicious circle.Now that a good teacher-student relationship makes a teacher’s job worthwhile, while a bad one negatively affects a student’s development even to the rest of his life, more importance should be attached to the relationship between teachers and students. Model Test 6Should Colleges Ban House HelpNowadays, students in growing numbers are becoming house service companies’customers, which raises a hot discussion as to whether schools should ban house help. Those opposing school’s ban say hiring help to do cleaning, students can same time for more important things like study and social activities. However, some education experts point out, in a disagreeing tone, that colleges are where students learn to live independently and cultivate their work ethic. Hiring cleaning staff does not help.I, myself, suggest college ban house help. Firstly, doing housework not only helps students live an independent life but also cultivates good living habits. Secondly, sincemost students are not financially independent, it’s actually students’ parents who are paying for the house help service. Thirdly, with strangers coming in and out of the dorms, students and their personal belongings will be at risk. Lots of problems stemming from it will become dorm management personnel’s headache. Therefore, it’s better for schools to ban students from hiring house help. Cleaning dorms is part and parcel of campus life, which helps students grow up to be a mature and independent person.Model Test 7Mobile Phone Uses Should Be Restricted in LibraryThe improper use of mobile phones is becoming increasingly serious in the library. Many students are found talking loudly on phones or taking a phone in audible ringing mode into the library.There is no doubt that those poor manners have a negative impact on library users. For one thing, mobile phones are a distraction for those who use mobile phones, for they can hardly focus on reading. For another, such behavior causes disturbance to other library users. It’s very important for the users to maintain a quiet atmosphere since the library is a place for study and research.All students should comply with library regulations and keep quiet in the library. If they do need to use mobile phones, they can set their mobile phones in silence mode and make phone calls in designated areas, such as restrooms, photocopier rooms and the elevator area.It is firmly believed that restriction on mobile phone uses in the library helps to create an excellent atmosphere and does good to all library users.Model Test 8A Letter to ParentsDear mom and dad,I’ve received your letter asking me whether I have landed a fob. I know you worry a lot about my job, but I’ve decided to start my own business after graduation.It’s true that setting up my own business has its own risks, but I believe the risk is worth the rewards. First of all, I , b starting a new company, am creating jobs rather than wading into the job market and competing for the limited jobs there. Besides, it’s gratifying to create something from scratch. I’ll never get bored since every day there will be something new and challenging.As you know, I’ve take business-related courses in college to learn how to start and run a business. And one year spent in IT industry as and intern helps me come up with something that perfectly fits into the local market. S to money, there industry banks that are willing to back sound business plans. I’m fully prepared for a start-up. So please give me your blessing. One day, my company may grow from a start-up to a multimillion-dollar corporation.Take care and your good health is the biggest support to my career.Yours dearest son,HenryModel test 9My School LifeTwo years has flied by before I know it. I, once a childish high-school boy, am now a junior college student. So many things have happened in the past two years that I hardly remember them all, but one of them still remains so fresh in my memory.It was in my first year in college that I took part in an English Speech Contest. Being a top student and highest scholarship winner, I was so sure to win a prize in the contest. But disappointedly, I even didn’t pass the preliminary round. Adding to my distress was the impression that all my classmates were laughing at me and among among them was Henry who won the 3rd prize. Because of the failing experience, I decided not to enter for the contest in the second year. However, quite out of my expectation, Henry came to me and persuaded me to prepare for the coming contest with him. Moved by his sincerity, I worked hard in preparation for the contest and ended up winning the first prize and a best friend, Henry. The valuable experience teaches me that it’s not realistic to expect everything to always work in my favor. The setbacks and challenges are just as important for my growth as the good times.As a junior, I still have two years to go. I hope the coming two years could help me learn to be independent and acquire precious knowledge, and prepare me for my professional career.Model test 10Caring for the ElderlyAging is becoming a global issue, with the development of medical technology which makes it possible for people to live longer than in the past. And caring for the elderly has become a major concern for all who live in an aging society.Then, what can we do for the aging population as college students? We may begin from taking care of our elderly relatives. Many of us may live in a family where parents are members of sandwich generation who care for senior citizens, who have a child at home and who, in many cases, must balance paid work and family life. It’s helpful if we can visit our aging grandparents on a regular basis, take them out for a walk and talk about the old days. What’s more, it is a good idea to fill our spare time working as volunteers to care for the elderly at nursing homes. Last but not least, we may join the effort with our knowledge in constructing an elderly caring system with the integration of families, communities, welfare institution and governments. Admittedly, caring for the elderly is a demanding task that can be time-consuming. However, the living condition of senior citizens shows a nation’s living standard and social morals. More importantly, living with the elderly and taking care of them is a rewarding experience.。

The packaging of goods becomes more and more attracting our eyes. However, the problem of excessive packaging has aroused people’s wide concern.This phenomenon exists for a number of reasons. For one thing, the business has seen through the mind of most consumers who are face-saving, forthey thought that the more beautiful the packaging of goods is, the best people like. For another thing, excessive packaging can make the majority of merchants get high profit for the cheap commodity by improving price. Perhaps the primary reason lies that the form far outweighs the content.In my opinion, it is more advisable to focus on the quality of goods than to decorate its appearance. So, it is urgent that immediate measures should be taken to stop the situation. Only in this way can we reduce unnecessary waste and have a rational and pure shopping condition, making our money worthwhile.2012年6月四级作文真题及范文.doc [全文共694字] 编号：6135951。
2012年6月英语四级作文
2012年6月英语四级作文英文回答：First and foremost, the concept of "happiness" is highly subjective and varies greatly from individual to individual. What brings happiness to one person may not necessarily bring happiness to another. Therefore, defining a universal concept of happiness is a challenging task. However, certain factors, such as a sense of purpose, meaningful relationships, and personal growth, are often associated with happiness.Material possessions, while they can provide temporary satisfaction, do not equate to happiness in the long run. True happiness stems from within, from a sense offulfillment and contentment. This can be achieved through pursuing activities that bring joy, connecting with loved ones, and contributing to society in a meaningful way.Happiness is not a constant state; it is a journey withits ups and downs. Embracing both the positive and negative experiences is essential for a fulfilling and balanced life. It is important to remember that even in times of adversity, there is always hope and the potential for happiness.Happiness is not something that can be pursued directly; it is a byproduct of living a life in accordance with one's values and passions. It is about finding meaning andpurpose in the present moment and engaging in activitiesthat bring joy and fulfillment.中文回答：1、幸福是个体化的概念，每个人对幸福的定义不尽相同。

You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.1.目前许多商品存在过度包装的现象2.出现这一现象的原因3.我对这一现象的看法和建议On Excessive PackagingPart Ⅱ Reading Comprehension(Skimming and Scanning) (15minutes)Directions: In this part, you will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quickly and answer the questions on Answer sheet 1. For questions 1-7,choose the best answer from the four choices marked A)，B)，C)and D). For questions 8-10,complete the sentences with the information given in the passage.Small Schools RisingThis year’s list of the top 100 high scho ols shows that today, those with fewer students are flourishing.Fifty years ago, they were the latest thing in educational reform: big, modern, suburban high schools with students counted in the thousands. As baby boomers(二战后婴儿潮时期出生的人) came of high-school age, big schools promised economic efficiency. A greater choice of courses, and, of course, better football teams. Only years later did we understand the trade-offs this involved: the creation of excessive bureaucracies(官僚机构)，the difficulty of forging personal connections between teachers and students.SAT scores began dropping in 1963;today,on average,30% of students do not complete high school in four years, a figure that rises to 50% in poor urban neighborhoods. While the emphasis on teaching to higher, test-driven standards as set in No Child Left Behind resulted in significantly better performance in elementary(and some middle)schools, high schools for a variety of reasons seemed to have made little progress.Size isn’t everything, but it does matter, and the past decade has seen a noticeable countertrend toward smaller schools. This has been due ,in part ,to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which has invested $1.8 billion in American high schools, helping to open about 1,000 small schools-most of them with about 400 kids each with an average enrollment of only 150 per grade, About 500 more are on the drawing board. Districts all over the country are taking notice, along with mayors in cities like New York, Chicago and San Diego. The movement includes independent public charter schools, such as No.1 BASIS in Tucson, with only 120 high-schoolers and 18 graduates this year. It embraces district-sanctioned magnet schools, such as the Talented and Gifted School, with 198 students, and the Science and Engineering Magnet,with383,which share a building in Dallas, as well as the City Honors School in Buffalo, N.Y., which grew out of volunteer evening seminars for students. And it includes alternative schools with students selected by lottery(抽签)，such as H-B Woodlawn in Arlington, Va. And most noticeable of all, there is the phenomenon of large urban and suburban high schools that have split up into smaller units of a few hundred, generally housed in the same grounds that once boasted thousands of students all marching to the same band.Hillsdale High School in San Mateo, Calif, is one of those, ranking No.423—among the top 2% in the country—on Newsweek’s annual ranking of America’s top high schools. The success of small schools is apparent in the listings. Ten years ago, when the first Newsweek list based on college-level test participation was published, only three of the top 100 schools had graduating Classes smaller than 100 students. This year there are 22. Nearly 250 schools on the full ,Newsweek list of the top 5% of schools nationally had fewer than 200 graduates in 2007.Although many of Hillsdale’s students came from wealthy households, by the late 1990 average test scores were sliding and it had earned the unaffectionate nickname (绰号) “Hillsjail. ” Jeff Gilbert. A Hillsdale teacher who became principal last year, remembers sitting with other teachers watching students file out of a graduation ceremony and asking one another in astonishment, “How did that student graduate?”So in 2003 Hills dale remade itself into three “houses,” romantically named Florence, Marrakech and Kyoto. Each of the 300 arriving ninth graders are randomly(随机地) assigned to one of the houses. Where they will keep the same four core subject teachers for two years, before moving on to another for 11th and 12th grades. The closeness this system cultivates is reinforced by the institution of “advisory” classes Teachers meet with students in groups of 25, five mornings a week, for open-ended discussions of everything from homework problems to bad Saturday-night dates. The advisers also meet with students privately and stay in touch with parents, so they are deeply invested in the students’ success.“We’re constantly talking about one another’s advisers,” says English teacher Chris Crockett. “If you hear that yours isn’t doing well in math, or see them sitting outside the dean’s office, it’s like a personal failure.” Along with the new structure came a more demandingacademic program, the percentage of freshmen taking biology jum ped from 17 to 95.“It was rough for some. But by senior year, two-thirds have moved up to physics,” says Gilbert “Our kids are coming to school in part because they know there are adults here who know them and care for them.”But not all schools show advanc es after downsizing, and it remains to be seen whether smaller schools will be a cure-all solution.The Newsweek list of top U.S. high schools was made this year, as in years past, according to a single metric, the proportion of students taking college-level exams. Over the years this system has come in for its share of criticism for its simplicity. But that is also its strength: it’s easy for readers to understand, and to do the arithmetic for their own schools if they’d like.Ranking schools is always controversial, and this year a group of 38 superintendents(地区教育主管)from five states wrote to ask that their schools be excluded from the calculation.“It is impossible to know which high schools are ‘the best’ in the nation, ”their letter read. in part. “De termining whether different schools do or don’t offer a high quality of education requires a look at man different measures, including students’ overall academic accomplishments and their subsequent performance in college. And taking into consideration the unique needs of their communities.”In the end, the superintendents agreed to provide the data we sought, which is, after all, public information. There is, in our view, no real dispute here, we are all seeking the same thing, which is schools that better serve our children and our nation by encouraging students to tackle tough subjects under the guidance of gifted teachers. And if we keep working toward that goal, someday, perhaps a list won’t be necessary.注意：此部分试题请在答卡1上作答.1. Fifty years ago. big. Modern.

2012年6月大学英语四级真题答案解析Part I Writing标准版Doing Shopping OnlineWith the development of the Internet, shopping is no longer a tiring thing. Just click your mouse to choose the articles you like, and the purchase is done. You don't even have to step out of the room. It seems all easy and quick.However, people's opinions vary on this trend. Some believe that on line shopping is time and money saving. With plentiful selection options, they can buy whatever they like at any time convenient. Still others insist that mis-purchasing alone is annoying enough, not to mention the credibility of the sellers and the safety of their accounts.In my opinion, the convenience and excitement of on line shopping is beyond all doubts. In the meantime, we must always bear in mind that certain traps do exist, so we'd better make sure the sellers are trustworthy before buying. In addition, we should also guard ourselves from the potential hackers who might steal our account information.文章点评：这是一篇“中等偏上”的学生作文。

2012四级真题：6月英语四级作文真题和范文2012四级真题：6月英语四级作文真题及范文新东方赵子凌：2012年6月英语四级作文范文On Excessive PackagingIn recent years, the excessive use of packages has become quite a serious problem in China. As for the reasons of excessively packaging, there are many factors contributing to it.It is conceivable that the excessive packaging has mainly arisen from the two following factors. For one thing, people in mounting numbers are inclined to send a variety of gifts to their relatives and friends, especially during the holidays, and decorated gifts sometimes are a symbol of good taste. For another, the dealers are in the purpose of making more money by packaging the products to the largest extent.Taking all the above-mentioned factors into consideration, it is quite urgent for us to takeeffective measures to cope with it. We consumers should basically concentrate more on the quality of the commodities rather than the packages; meanwhile, the government should also put restrictions on the excessive packaging. Only in this way can we guarantee the harmonious development of the market as well as ourselves. 点击下载Word文档【VIP】注册会员登录会员加入VIP。

2012年CET4写作真题：6月英语四级作文范文（新东方周思成版本）2012年CET4写作真题：6月英语四级作文范文（新东方周思成版）Excessive PackagingIn this highly commercialized society, the merchants have been making all the effects to add to the attraction of their products. The phenomenon is extremely prevalent that the packages themselves cost much more than the goods in them. Therefore, consumers in growing numbers express serious concerns over this problem.There are several factors that can account for this phenomenon. To begin with, numerous people buy the goods in attractive packages as gifts for their friends, parents, and leaders. In this case, extravagant packages can assist them to demonstrate their care, respect, and loyalty. Moreover, the market has been saturated with homogeneous products. In order todifferentiate their products from those of others’quickly and directly, the manufacturers are more than willing to invest in the packaging. Additionally, the sellers may employ the vivid and exquisite packages as the tactic to appeal to their consumers, who focus no attention on the prices but the psychological satisfaction from the admirable looks from their friends, even the passers-by, when they walk on the street with an eye-catching and flamboyant packages in their hands. （从买家、制造商和卖家三方面各提供一个理由）From my perspective, the excessive packaging is extremely wasteful. After all, we spend our money on the products in the packages rather than the beautiful but useless paper and boxes that will be discarded as soon as we unwrap them. I hope that the manufacturer will divert more attention to the quality of their products so that consumers can purchase them in more reasonable prices. 点击下载Word文档【VIP】注册会员登录会员加入VIP。

大学英语四级真题作文及范文（附加练习）【2012年06月题目】1、目前许多商品存在过度包装的现象2. 出现这一现象的原因3. 我对这一现象的看法和建议【范文】On Excessive PackagingIn recent years we can see quite a lot of products are excessively packaged. My newly bought shirt come swathed in tissue paper, placed in a cardboard box and then finished off in wrapping paper. Why do people have a liking for excessive packaging?There are many reasons that contribute to this phenomenon. Firstly, producers are profit-driven and they can raise the prices of their products by delicate packaging so as to make much more profit. Secondly, consumers tend to think it more decent to purchase well-packaged products, especially when they want to buy gifts for their friends. The last but not the least, imperfect taws and regulations make it not possible to completely ban excessive packaging.In my opinion, besides the cost for buyers, excessive packaging also results in the waste of resources and environment pollution. To solve the problem, it's necessary to take the following measures. First, laws and regulations must be perfected to restrict excessive packaging. Second, we need to raise consumer's awareness that delicate packaging doesn't equal to high quality. Meanwhile, we need to advocate packaging recycling.[解析]本文主题是比较贴近社会的热点话题，提示要求学生先指出现象，阐述原因，最后论述白己的观点。

As baby boomers(二战后婴儿潮时期出生的人) came of high-school age, big schools promised economic efficiency.A greater choice of courses, and, of course, better football teams. Only years later did we understand the trade-offs this involved: the creation of excessive bureaucracies(官僚机构)，the difficulty of forging personal connections between teachers and students.SAT scores began dropping in 1963;today,on average,30% of students do not complete high school in four years, a figure that rises to 50% in poor urban neighborhoods. While the emphasis on teaching to higher, test-driven standards as set in No Child Left Behind resulted in significantly better performance in elementary(and some middle)schools, high schools for a variety of reasons seemed to have made little progress.Size isn't everything, but it does matter, and the past decade has seen a noticeable countertrend toward smaller schools. This has been due ,in part ,to the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation, which has invested $1.8 billion in American high schools, helping to open about 1,000 small schools-most of them with about 400 kids each with an average enrollment of only 150 per grade, About 500 more are on the drawing board. Districts all over the country are taking notice, along with mayors in cities like New York, Chicago and San Diego. The movement includes independent public charter schools, such as No.1 BASIS in Tucson, with only 120 high-schoolers and 18 graduates this year. It embraces district-sanctioned magnet schools, such as the Talented and Gifted School, with 198students, and the Science and Engineering Magnet,with383,which share a building in Dallas, as well as the City Honors School in Buffalo, N.Y., which grew out of volunteer evening seminars for students. And it includes alternative schools with students selected by lottery(抽签)，such as H-B Woodlawn in Arlington, Va. And most noticeable of all, there is the phenomenon of large urban and suburban high schools that have split up into smaller units of a few hundred, generally housed in the same grounds that once boasted thousands of students all marching to the same band.Hillsdale High School in San Mateo, Calif, is one of those, ranking No.423-among the top 2% in the country-on Newsweek's annual ranking of America's top high schools. The success of small schools is apparent in the listings. Ten years ago, when the first Newsweek list based on college-level test participation was published, only three of the top 100 schools had graduating Classes smaller than 100 students. This year there are 22. Nearly 250 schools on the full ,Newsweek list of the top 5% of schools nationally had fewer than 200 graduates in 2007.Although many of Hillsdale's students came from wealthy households, by the late 1990 average test scores were sliding and it had earned the unaffectionate nickname (绰号) "Hillsjail. " Jeff Gilbert. A Hillsdale teacher who became principal last year, remembers sitting with other teachers watching students file out of a graduation ceremony and asking one another in astonishment, "How did that student graduate?"So in 2003 Hillsdale remade itself into three "houses," romantically named Florence, Marrakech and Kyoto. Each of the 300 arriving ninth graders are randomly(随机地) assigned to one of the houses. Where they will keep the same four core subject teachers for two years, before moving on to another for 11th and 12th grades. The closeness this system cultivates is reinforced by the institution of "advisory" classes Teachers meet with students in groups of 25, five mornings a week, for open-ended discussions of everything from homework problems to bad Saturday-night dates. The advisers also meet with students privately and stay in touch with parents, so they are deeply invested in the students' success."We're constantly talking about one another's advisers," says English teacher Chris Crockett. "If you hear that yours isn't doing well in math, or see them sitting outside the dean's office, it's like a personal failure." Along with the new structure came a more demanding academic program, the percentage of freshmen taking biology jumped from 17 to 95."It was rough for some. But by senior year, two-thirds have moved up to physics," says Gilbert "Our kids are coming to school in part because they know there are adults here who know them and care for them."But not all schools show advances after downsizing, and it remains to be seen whether smaller schools will be a cure-all solution.The Newsweek list of top U.S. high schools was made this year, as in years past, according to a single metric, the proportion of students taking college-level exams. Over the years this system has come in for its share of criticism for its simplicity. But that is alsoits strength: it's easy for readers to understand, and to do the arithmetic for their own schools if they'd like.Ranking schools is always controversial, and this year a group of 38 superintendents(地区教育主管)from five states wrote to ask that their schools be excluded from the calculation."It is impossible to know which high schools are 'the best' in the nation, "their letter read. in part. "Determining whether different schools do or don't offer a high quality of education requires a look at man different measures, including students' overall academic accomplishments and their subsequent performance in college. And taking into consideration the unique needs of their communities."In the end, the superintendents agreed to provide the data we sought, which is, after all, public information. There is, in our view, no real dispute here, we are all seeking the same thing, which is schools that better serve our children and our nation by encouraging students to tackle tough subjects under the guidance of gifted teachers.

I remember the topic was about the impact of the internet on people's lives. I was quite nervous at first, but then I gathered my thoughts and started to brainstorm some ideas.I began by outlining the positive aspects of the internet, such as the easy access to information, communication with people from all over the world, and the convenience of online shopping and banking. I supported these points with examples from my own life, like how I used the internet to research for my school projects and how I kept in touch with my friends who lived in different countries.Then, I moved on to the negative effects of theinternet, such as the spread of fake news, cyberbullying, and the addiction to social media. I also shared some personal experiences, like how I once fell for a fake news article and how I witnessed cyberbullying on social media platforms.After that, I wrote a conclusion that summarized my points and expressed my own opinion on the topic.

2012年6月英语四级作文It was a typical June day in 2012, sunny and a bit warm. The atmosphere on campus was filled with excitement as the upcoming English Level 4 exam loomed large in everyone's minds.Studying for the exam was a challenge in itself. The vocabulary and grammar rules seemed endless, and thepractice tests were a never-ending stream of questions. But somehow, everyone found their own way to cope. Somepreferred to study in groups, bouncing ideas and answersoff each other. Others preferred the solitude of thelibrary, focusing intently on each word and phrase.One thing that stood out was the diversity of study techniques. Some students swore by flashcards, flipping through them repeatedly to ingrain the information. Others preferred to write out essays and compare them to sample answers, honing their writing skills. And still, othersused online resources and practice tests to simulate theexam conditions.The days leading up to the exam were a blur of cramming and last-minute prep. There were nights spent poring over textbooks and dictionaries, trying to commit every last detail to memory. And then, finally, the day of the exam arrived.The exam itself was a mix of familiar。

2012年6月英语四级作文答案全文共3篇示例，供读者参考篇12012年6月英语四级作文答案Part I Writing (30 minutes)Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic: Face-to-Face Communication in the Digital Age. You should write at least 150 words and base your composition on the outline (given in Chinese) below:1. 当今数字时代，人们更多地通过手机、电脑与他人交流2. 面对面交流逐渐减少3. 面对面交流的益处Face-to-Face Communication in the Digital AgeIn the digital age we live in today, people are increasingly turning to phones, computers, and other devices to communicate with one another. The convenience of instant messaging, social media, and video calls has made it easier than ever to stay connected with friends, family, and colleagues, regardless of physical distance. However, as face-to-facecommunication gradually diminishes, it is important to consider the benefits of in-person interaction.One of the main advantages of face-to-face communication is the ability to convey emotions and intentions more effectively. Nonverbal cues such as facial expressions, body language, and tone of voice play a crucial role in understanding the true meaning behind a message. When we communicate in person, we can pick up on these subtle signals and respond accordingly, leading to a deeper level of connection and empathy.Furthermore, face-to-face communication fosters trust and authenticity in relationships. It is easier to build rapport and establish mutual understanding when we can see and hear the person we are talking to. In a world where digital interactions can often feel impersonal and shallow, genuine face-to-face conversations can help cultivate stronger bonds and foster a sense of community.In conclusion, while digital communication has its advantages, we should not overlook the importance offace-to-face interaction in building meaningful relationships and promoting genuine connection. By making an effort to prioritize in-person communication, we can enhance our social skills,deepen our relationships, and create more meaningful experiences in an increasingly digital world.篇22012年6月英语四级作文题目为：What Is Your Opinion on Smoking in Public Places?以下是2012年英语四级作文的范文答案：Smoking in public places has been a controversial issue for quite some time. Some argue that people have the right to smoke wherever they want, while others believe that smoking in public places should be banned for the health and safety of non-smokers. In my opinion, I support the idea of banning smoking in public places.First of all, smoking in public places not only harms the health of smokers, but also poses a serious health risk tonon-smokers. Secondhand smoke contains over 7,000 chemicals, many of which are toxic and can cause serious health problems such as respiratory issues, heart disease, and even cancer. By allowing smoking in public places, we are putting the health of non-smokers at risk, which is unfair and unjust.Furthermore, smoking in public places can also have a negative impact on the environment. Cigarette butts are themost littered item in the world, and they can take up to 10 years to decompose. Not only do cigarette butts pollute the environment, but they can also be harmful to wildlife if ingested. By banning smoking in public places, we can help reduce litter and protect the environment for future generations.In conclusion, I believe that smoking in public places should be banned in order to protect the health of non-smokers and preserve the environment. It is important for governments to implement strict smoking bans in public places in order to create a healthier and cleaner environment for everyone.篇32012年6月英语四级作文答案Part I Writing (30 minutes)Directions: For this part, you are allowed thirty minutes to write a composition on the topic: The Influence of the Internet. You should write at least 120 words, and base your composition on the outline (given in Chinese) below:1. 互联网成为人们生活的一部分2. 互联网的益处：获取信息，交流沟通等3. 互联网的弊端：上网成瘾，网络虚拟世界，隐私泄露等The Influence of the InternetIn recent years, the Internet has become an indispensable part of people's daily lives. It has profoundly impacted the way we work, communicate, access information, and even entertain ourselves. The following essay will discuss the benefits and drawbacks of the Internet.First and foremost, the Internet provides us with a vast amount of information at our fingertips. With just a few clicks, we can access news, research papers, educational resources, and much more. This has greatly facilitated our learning and research abilities.Secondly, the Internet has revolutionized the way we communicate. Through social media platforms, instant messaging apps, and video conferencing tools, we can easily connect with friends, family, and colleagues regardless of physical distance. This has made the world a smaller and more interconnected place.However, the Internet also has its downsides. One of the major concerns is the prevalence of internet addiction. Many people, especially teenagers, spend excessive amounts of time online, neglecting real-life relationships and responsibilities. Thiscan have detrimental effects on their mental health and overall well-being.Moreover, the Internet can create a sense of disconnection from reality. With the rise of virtual worlds, online gaming, and social media filters, some individuals may become too engrossed in the digital realm and lose touch with the physical world. This can lead to feelings of isolation and dissatisfaction with real life.Lastly, privacy and security concerns are also prevalent on the Internet. With the amount of personal data being shared online, there is a risk of identity theft, cyberbullying, and other malicious activities. It is important for users to be vigilant and protect their sensitive information.In conclusion, while the Internet has brought about numerous benefits and conveniences, it is essential to use it responsibly and mindfully. By being aware of its pitfalls and taking measures to mitigate them, we can harness the full potential of the Internet while safeguarding our well-being and privacy.。

2012英语四级真题作文2012年英语四级真题作文题目：Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic: My View on University Ranking. You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below in Chinese:1. 目前大学排名相当盛行。
2. 大学排名的利与弊。
3. 我对大学排名的看法。
My View on University Ranking。
University ranking has become increasingly popular in recent years. Many students and parents pay close attention to the ranking of universities when making decisions about which university to attend. However, the phenomenon ofuniversity ranking has both advantages and disadvantages.On the one hand, university ranking provides a useful reference for students and parents when choosing a university. It offers an objective evaluation of thequality of education and research at different universities, helping students make informed decisions about their future. Moreover, a high ranking can enhance the reputation of a university, attracting more talented students and faculty members, and promoting academic and research development.On the other hand, university ranking may also have negative effects. For example, it may lead to excessive competition among universities, which could compromise the quality of education and research. Additionally, it may create a biased view of the value of education, as it tends to prioritize certain fields of study over others. Furthermore, it may cause undue pressure on students, who may feel compelled to attend a highly ranked university regardless of their personal interests and goals.In my opinion, while university ranking can be a usefultool for decision-making, it should not be the sole factor considered when choosing a university. It is important to take into account individual preferences, career goals, and personal development when making such an important decision. Moreover, universities should focus on providing high-quality education and research, rather than solely pursuing a higher ranking.In conclusion, university ranking has both positive and negative aspects. It is important for students and parentsto consider all factors when choosing a university, and for universities to prioritize education and research over rankings. Only by doing so can we ensure a high-quality and well-rounded higher education system.。

2012年6月英语四级作文真题及范文12篇：商品过度包装Part I WritingDirections: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled College Students on the Job Market. You should write at least 150 words following the o utline given below.1. 许多商品都存在过度包装的现象2. 出现这种现象的原因及其带来的后果3. 为了改变这种状况，我认为……On Excessive Packaging 1Wandering at the supermarkets, you could find that the shelves are fulfilled with fancy and excessive packaging goods with high price, especially when festivals approach. Although the government has concerned with that issue, the phenomena still flourishes.The reasons can be listed as follows. First, manufactures could benefit from the fancy packaging. Glorious packaging would increase the price to a large extent, from which they can gain excessive money. Second, most of this kind of goods are brought and sent as gifts to their relatives and leaders. Gorgeous packaging would attract people’s attention and make the people who buy them have the honor to send them out.To my mind, excessive packaging is just a waste of resources and money. Most people would throw the package away after they opened it, which would lead to a severe pollution. To prevent the situation, every citizen should be aware of the problem and laws must be made to restrict the manufactures to cut down on luxurious packaging.On Excessive Packaging 2Nowadays the phenomena of excessive packaging of goods are prevailing in our society: clothes swathed in tissue paper, placed in cardboard box and finally wrapped in well-designed plastic bags, imported bottles of grape wine packed in wooden boxes, fruits put in hand-wovenbaskets, to name but a few.There are several causes of excessive packaging. The first reason is that a large number of companies believe that they can attract customers’ attention and stimulate their purchasing desire by over-packaging their goods, thus gaining more profits. On the other hand, quite a number of consumers mistakenly hold that the more delicate the package is, the better the quality will be, thus encouraging excessive packaging.In my point of view, excessive packaging has disastrous consequences, including the loss of precious resources, excessive consumption of water and energy, and unnecessary extraction of scarce land for landfill.To solve the problem, it’s necessary to take the following measures. First, laws and regulations must be made to restrict excessive packaging of companies. In addition, we need to raise consumer’s awareness that excessive packaging doesn’t equal to high quality and advocate packaging recycling.On Excessive Packaging 3I assume that you are familiar with the phenomenon of “Excessive Packaging”. Taking a look around，we can find examples with ease：a small computer is packed in a thick and heavycarton，clothes are putted in a well-designed plastic bagsand moon-cakes are usually placed in delicate boxes.What are the causes of this problem? On the one hand, to earn more economic gains, a considerable number of manufactures usually wrap their products with unnecessary but appealing materials aiming at attracting customer’s attention , arousing their curiosity and then stimulating their purchasing desire. On the other hand, quite a few customers believe that the more delicate the package seems，the superior the quality will be,the notion has also encouraged the trend of excessive packaging.To change this situation, I think we should take the following measures. First, laws must be made and implemented to impose restriction onexcessive packaging. Moreover, a public education campaign should be launched to arouse customers' consciousness that packaging doesn't equal to quality. Only in this way can we put an end to this trend. (185wordsOn Excessive Packaging 4No one in China has failed to notice that goods arewrapped(包装)in flaring(华美的，花哨的)boxes or bags. Taking a look around，we can find examples with ease：a small computer is packed in a thick and heavy(又厚又重)carton，clothes are puttedin a well-designed plastic bags(塑料袋)which printed various kinds of patterns and colorsand so on.What are the causes of this problem?On the one hand, in order to earn more economic gains(经济收益), a considerable number of (很多)manufactures usually wraptheir products with unnecessary but appealing(吸引人的)materialsaiming at att racting customer’s attention , arousing their curiosity and then stimulating their purchasing desire (吸引顾客的注意力并引发他们的好奇心). On the other hand, quite a fewcustomers believe that the more delicatethe package seems，the superior the quality will be(包装越精美，产品质量就越好),the notion has also encouraged the trend of excessive packaging. However, the emergence of excessive package(过度包装)has given rise to(导致)many undesirable consequences that can’t be neglected (不容忽视). For one thing，it is a waste of precious and limited natural resources，which will thus pose underlying(潜在的) threat to our offspring generation(子孙后代). For another, customers are often deceived by artificialexternal packing rather than being provided with high-quality goods .To change this situation, I think we should take the following measures. First, laws must be made and implemented to impose restriction on (实行限制)excessive packaging. Second, a public education campaign should be launched to arouse customers' consciousness (意识)that packaging doesn't equal to quality, and also let them know the bad impact of it. Only in this way can we put an end to this trend (结束这种趋势).On Excessive Packaging 5In recent years, the excessive use of packages has become quite a serious problem in China. As for the reasons of excessively packaging, there are many factors contributing to it.It is conceivable that the excessive packaging has mainly arisen from the two following factors. For one thing, people in mounting numbers are inclined to send a variety of gifts to their relatives and friends, especially during the holidays, and decorated gifts sometimes are a symbol of good taste. For another, the dealers are in the purpose of making more money by packaging the products to the largest extent.Taking all the above-mentioned factors into consideration, it is quite urgent for us to take effective measures to cope with it. We consumers should basically concentrate more on the quality of the commodities rather than the packages; meanwhile, the government should also put restrictions on the excessive packaging. Only in this way can we guarantee the harmonious development of the market as well as ourselves.On Excessive Packaging 6Nowadays, the phenomenon of excessive packaging has becoming increasingly serious. Lots of packages have already deviated from their original function. Excessive packaging is a serious waste phenomenon, which deserves our special attention and penetrating research.There are many reasons accounting for excessive packaging. Firstly, the promotion effects of excessive packaging have been greatly exaggerated by interest-driven merchants. Furthermore, it is irrational consumption that led to the phenomenon of excessive packaging. The last but not the least, as everyone sees it that distempered of the related laws and regulations and inadequate enforcement of the law together contributed to this phenomenon.As far as I am concerned, excessive packaging not only creates waste of resources, but also causes unnecessary environment pollution, so we should try our best to eliminate thisphenomenon completely. To avoid excessive packaging, we should increase our awareness of this phenomenon and change our ideas towards it. We should also establish the atmosphere of simple packaging, advocate appropriate packaging and build a conservation-minded society.On Excessive Packaging 7In recent years, with the economy growing, all kinds of goods are flowing into our life. The packaging of goods becomes more and more attracting our eyes. However, the problem of ex cessive packaging has aroused people’s wide concern.This phenomenon exists for a number of reasons. For one thing, the business has seen through the mind of most consumers who are face-saving, for they thought that the more beautiful the packaging of goods is, the best people like. For another thing, excessive packaging can make the majority of merchants get high profit for the cheap commodity by improving price. Perhaps the primary reason lies that the form far outweighs the content.In my opinion, it is more advisable to focus on the quality of goods than to decorate its appearance. So, it is urgent that immediate measures should be taken to stop the situation. Only in this way can we reduce unnecessary waste and have a rational and pure shopping condition, making our money cost worthwhile.On Excessive Packaging 8①Nowadays, there is a widespread concern over excessive packaging in our country.②It is known to all that excessive packaging has negative influences on consumers.③And people would turn pale at the very mention of excessive packaging.①There are many reasons why excessive packaging emerges, but in general, they come down to three major ones.②For one thing, I argue, Chinese consumers care more about packaging than product itself.③For another, the packaging often represents the quality of product, so the manufacturer is eager to do excessive packaging.④But the prime reason is perhaps that the department concerned turns a blind eye to this irrational phenomenon.①In regard to this problem, steps should be taken to minimize it.②The first thing we should do is to emphasize product's quality over its packaging.③Another thing we can do is to strengthen the supervision on excessive packaging.④In addition, the Weibo is one of the most effective media that remind consumers to spend reasonably.On Excessive Packaging 9Nowadays, with the rapid development of national economy and elevation of cultural demands, more and more commodities with luxury packaging appear in stores or supermarkets. Lots of people select these commodities to present as gifts to bosses, friends or relatives at festivals.This phenomenon, which resulted by several factors, arouses hot discussions among people. One of these reasons is the psychology of extravagance-showing among people of all ranks. They tend to feel inferior if their presents look common and simple. On the other hand, lots of merchants, out of the consideration of their commercial profits, use all their efforts to promote their goods, which need to be luxuriously packaged as to meet the demands of market. Last but not the least, some people select these over packaging commodities to please their bosses in order to get a promotion.Overall, this phenomenon is an outcome of the market economy. It can promote the development of economy, but, at the same time, leads to the corruption of social morality. We should take all measures to reduce the production of these commodities as to control social environment.On Excessive Packaging 10Nowadays the phenomena of excessive packaging of goods are prevailing in our society: clothes swathed in tissue paper, placed in cardboard box and finally wrapped in well-designed plastic bags, imported bottles of grape wine packed in wooden boxes, fruits put in hand-woven baskets, to name but a few.There are several causes of excessive packaging. The first reason is that a large number of companies believe that they can attract customers’ attention and stimulate their purchasing desire by over-packaging their goods, thus gaining more profits. On the other hand, quite a number of consumers mistakenly hold that the more delicate the package is, the better the quality will be, thus encouraging excessive packaging.In my point of view, excessive packaging has disastrous consequences, including the loss of precious resources, excessive consumption of water and energy, and unnecessary extraction of scarce land for landfill.To solve the problem, it’s necessary to take the following measure s. First, laws and regulations must be made to restrict excessive packaging of companies. In addition, we need to raise consumer’s awareness that excessive packaging doesn’t equal to high quality and advocate packaging recycling.On Excessive Packaging 11In recent years,everyone shopping in supermarket may notice a strange phenomenon-some goods are over-wrapped.In the other words,some merchandise are packed much more than they are uesed to be.For instance,the mooncake,a common dessert is always folded with severl layer of package.you must spend too much time to unfold it before you really taste it，this process let me feel I was unpacking a Chrismas present rather than articles for daily use.Obviously,in order to attrack the consumers'attention,manufactures pack their goods in flaring boxes or bags.In this way,they make their goods more charming and well-looking,which closely related to its sales volume.In their hand, increasing more expense in package means the price must go up at sametime.Meanwhile,the profit can also go higher.As to this over-package.In my perspective,the emergence of excessive packagehas given rise tomany undesirable consequences that can’t be neglected. For one thing，it is a waste of precious and limited natural resources，which will thus pose underlying threat to our offspring generation. For another, customers are often deceived by artificial external packing rather than being provided with high-quality goods . o change this situation, I think we should take the following measures. First, laws must be made and implemented to impose restriction on excessive packaging. Second, a public education campaign should be launched to arouse customers’ consciousness that packaging doesn’t equal to quality, and also let them know the bad impact of it. Only in this way can we put an end to this trend .On Excessive Packaging 12In these days, when we walk into a supermarket or a shopping mall, we can find different kinds of commodities with beautiful packages. These goods, with splendid appearance, attract a lot of interest and sell well.This phenomenon leads into a general discussion. It's unnecessary to have the goods excessively packed. In order to hold a bigger market share, some companies come up with lots of strategies, packaging is among them. Goods become more attractive with beautiful packages, but their cost increased as well. It is the consumers who pay for the extra cost. In other word, the consumers have to buy a useless box when they actually want something else. At a higher level, the useless packaging leads to a waste of resources and results in the inefficiency of the society.I think the most important character of a commodity is its quality. The beautiful package would be soon thrown into the dustbin—What a big waste! So next time, when you want to buy something, choose the one with higher quality instead of one with better package.。

英文回答，In 2012, the writing prompt for the CET-4 exam was about the importance of being honest. I believe that honesty is crucial in both personal and professional relationships. For example, when I was in high school, I made a mistake on a group project and instead of being honest about it, I tried to cover it up. This led to a lot of tension within the group and ultimately, it affected our final grade. On the other hand, when I started being more honest with my classmates and teachers, I found that my relationships improved and I was able to earn their trust.

我觉得你应该对”商品过度包装”现象也不陌生。
在我们生活的周围，我们随处可见这样的例子：小电脑包装在一个又厚又重的纸板盒里，衣服包装在设计精美的塑料袋里，月饼通常也放在精致的包装盒里。
这个问题的原因到底是什么？首先，很多制造商为了获得更多的经济利益，通常都将商品用不必要却吸引人的包装里，目的在于吸引顾客的注意力，唤起他们的好奇心然后刺激他们的消费欲望。
另一方面，相当多的顾客认为，包装越精致，产品的质量就越高，这个想法也加剧的了商品过度包装的趋势。
为了改变这个现状，我认为应该采取以下的措施，首先，必须制定是执行相关的法律限制商品过度包装；其次，我们应该开展广泛的教育运动唤起人们的意识，那就是，包装不等于产品质量。
只有这样我们才能杜绝这种趋势。
