审题思路

这是一篇观点选择性文章。题目是一个问句，所以对该问题的回答即是全文主旨，之后就该主旨展开论述。首段可直接点明是选择传统的购物方式，还是网上购物这种新方式，之后要展开说明为什么做出如此选择，即说明所选择的购物方式的好处，可以列出两至三条理由进行论证，支持自己的论点。第三部分是结论部分，可以对前文进行归纳总结，也可以简要概述没选择另外一种购物方式的好处，说明自己选择一种并不是否定另一种，只是个人喜好而已。

Which to Choose: Traditional Shopping or Online Shopping?

As to traditional shopping and online shopping, which one seems better to you? Do you prefer the traditional way or the online way? It is a personal preference when it comes to shopping. As for me，I prefer online shopping than traditional one.

The first advantage of online shopping I can think of is its convenience. With online shopping service, I don't have to leave my home at all. I simply need to sit down in front of my computer, browse around various online stores, and find what I need. Another advantage is that there are various commordities online, which are both high in quality and low in price. If I can imagine it, then I can buy it! There is really nothing that I can't find on the Internet such as gifts, clothes，and many other items, which can be purchased economically and quickly and delivered directly to my doorstep. If I am not satisfied with the goods when receiving them, I can contact the customer service online, either exchanging or refunding freely within the specified period.

In fact, traditional shopping has its own advantages. For example, you do get the opportunity to see the product before you purchase it. Really, all we need to do is to shop the way we feel comfortable, and remember to shop in a sensible way，namely, you should purchase some goods that you are really in need of.

Our biological clocks are set for this daily cycle.Simply put，our bodies want to sleep at night and be awake during the day. Most women and men need between eight and eight and a half hours of sleep a night to function properly throughout their lives.(Contrary to popular belief，humans don’t need less sleep as they age.) But on average，Americans sleep only about seven and a half hours per night，a marked drop from the nine hours day averaged in 1910.what’s worse，nearly one third of all Americans get less than six hours of sleep on a typical work night. For most people， that’s not nearly enough. Finding ways to get more and better sleep can be a challenge. Scientists have identified more than 80

2012专四听写参考答案 Nowadays, many of us try to live in a way that will damage the environment as little as possible. We recycle our newspapers and bottles, we take public transport to get to work, we try to buy locally produced fruit and vegetables，and we want to take these attitudes on holiday with us. This is why alternative forms of tourism are becoming popular in the world. There are a lot of names for these new forms of tourism: responsible tourism, nature tourism, adventure tourism, educational tourism and more. Although everyone may have a different definition, most people agree that these new forms of tourism should do the following: first, they should conserve the wildlife and culture of the area; second, they should benefit the local people; third, they should make a profit without destroying natural resources; and finally they should provide an experience that tourists want to pay for. 2012专四听力参考答案

专四模拟题8答案

Model Test 8 PART ⅠWRITING SECTION A COMPOSITION The World Is Getting Smaller and Smaller The world is getting smaller and smaller. Most of us may have such experiences:when you go to some place far away from the city where you live and think you know nobody there,you are surprised to find that you run into one of your old classmates on the street. Perhaps both of you would cry out,“What a small world!” Why is the world getting smaller and smaller?For one thing,faster and safer means of transport have greatly reduced distance.In the past it took people eight weeks to cross the Pacific Ocean,but now an air journey from Shanghai to New York only takes eight hours.For another,the quickening pace of modern society creates more opportunities for people to visit each other.For example,business activities and cultural exchange have brought peoples into constant contact with the world. So we may safely draw the conclusion that the more advanced a society and techno logy is,the smaller the world will be. SECTION B NOTE-WRITING Dear Alice, It’s a pity that you were out when I came to see you.The final examination is coming,I think we should study much harder.So I’d like to ask you to go to the library with me at weeke nds.
