四级考试真题作文范文96. 1 The Two-day Weekend1. 双休日给大学生带来的好处。

2．双休日可能给大学生带来的问题。

3．我应当怎样过发了双休日The two-day weekend has brought a lot of benefits to college students. It not only offers us more time to get rid of tiredness and have a good rest, but also gives us more chances to take up some hobbies, such as fishing, reading, or gardening. From these activities we can learn many things outside the classroom, which will add to our knowledge.Despite the convenience it brings us, the two-day weekend has also given rise to quite a few problems. The most serious one is that the weekdays are filled with more lessons, sometimes too many. Because our classes are limited to Monday through Friday, we have to take more lessons each day than in the past. This leaves us little time to catch our breath during the weekdays.In order to benefit most from the two-day weekend, I have decided to make a good plan for the two-day weekend. Of course I should take this chance to relax. But duringthe weekend, I will still set aside enough time to study. By doing so, I can have a good time as well as make progress in my studies.96. 6 Global Shortage of Fresh Water1人们以为淡水是取之不尽的（提示：雨水、河水、井水……）．2.实际上淡水是非常紧缺的（提示：人口增加，工业用水增加，污染……）3.我们应该怎么办。

Many people believe that the world’s supply of fresh water will never be used up. They think that fresh water comes from such a variety of sources that it is always sufficient for use. Such an opinion leads to a shocking waste of water.As a matter of fact, the earth is short of fresh water. Furthermore, with the rapid growth of the world’s population, the rising demand for water by industry, and the serious pollution of our surroundings, the world is facing the danger of running out of fresh water. Actually, in some big cities, fresh water cannot meet the daily needs.Therefore, to find new ways to save water is an urgent task. First, we should pass strict laws to control any waste of water. Second, scientists must work even harder topurify sea water and polluted water, and try to find substitutes to reduce the use of fresh water.97.1 Practice Makes Perfect1．怎样理解“熟能生巧”？2．例如：在英语学习中……3．又如……The famous saying “Practice makes perfect” is widely accepted today. It means if we practice unfamiliar things again and again, we’ll be able to perform it perfectly.The practice of learning English is a good example. We are not living in an English speaking country. So, in order to learn it well, we need extra practice, such as reading English books, going to English corners, or communicating with foreigners. Only sitting at the desk cannot lead to the mastery of English.As another example, if we want to be skilled in using the computer, we also need to practice using it. Some children become little experts in computer, just because they play with it everyday. On the contrary, if we just stick to books, we will still feel confused when using computers. Judging from the evidence offered, we might safely draw the conclusion that practice makes perfect.97.6 Getting to Know the World Outside the Campus1．大学生了解社会的必要性2．了解社会的途径(大众媒介，社会服务等)3．我打算怎么做With the rapid development of society, it is essential for college students to get to know the world outside the campus. There are a variety of reasons why we should do that. The primary one is that we can expand our horizons. Nowadays, as students, our knowledge is mostly derived from books, which is really limited. Only through contact with society will we learn more practical things. Second, it will enable us to be more sophisticated after graduation. Finally, knowing the world outside the campus may awaken in us a high sense of duty and help us make greater achievements in the future.As is known to all, there are many ways we can know the society, such as through community service or keeping informed through TV, radio or newspapers.As a university student, I will read newspapers and magazines to enrich my knowledge and do some volunteer work for the community or take up a part-time job in my sparetime so that I can learn from my experience and prepare for my future work.98. 1 Harmfulness of Fake Commodities1.目前社会上有不少假冒伪劣商品(fake commodities)。

为什么会有这种现象？2.举例说明假冒伪劣商品对消费者个人，社会等的危害。

In recent years, a lot of fake commodities have appeared in the market. These fake commodities have done great harm to the consumers and the society.Since the policy of reform was impl emented, China’s economy has improved. A lot of people are getting richer, and their living conditions are getting better. But still some of them are not satisfied. They dream of getting rich overnight and living a heavenly life, which, of course, is impossible to achieve by fair means. So they risk breaking the law to produce the market take commodities.Once these fake commodities enter the market, they will do immeasurable harm to the society. The direct victims are the consumers. As the quality of the fake commodities is always very poor, the consumers may suffer great losses. Certain fake commodities, such as food and medicine, will cause irreparable harm to the health and well-being of theconsumers. Fake commodities also cut into the profits of the brand-name-owners. Since the fake ones are cheaper, people tend to be reluctant to buy the genuine ones. 98.6 Do "Lucky Numbers" Really Bring Good Luck?1.有些人认为某些数字会带来好运2.我认为数字和运气无关......Some people take it for granted that some lucky numbers can bring them good luck. For instance, the so-called lucky number “8” is widely used now because it is sounded like “getting rich” in Chinese and is believed to brin g good fortune.Yet many others don’t think so. They think that numbers have nothing to do with luck. They regard numbers simply as a mathematic symbol for counting. They are anything but a mystery. They laugh at those who think numbers can bring good luck.I’m in favor of the latter opinion. I think our society is very modern now. We mustn’t count on the so-called lucky numbers to fulfill our wishes. Whether we can have good luck depends on ourselves. If we work hard, good luck will come to us.99. 1 Don ' t Hesitate to Say "NO"1. 别人请求帮助时，在什么情况下我们说"不"2. 为什么有些人在该说"不"的时候不说"不"3. 该说"不"时不说"不"的坏处In our daily life, there are many occasions on which we should not hesitate to refuse when asked for help. For one thing, when it is beyond our ability, we should give a direct reply “no”. For another, we the thing we are asked for is unreasonable or even illegal, we should say “no” without hesitation.However, it is not the case in our real life. Many peop le prefer to say “yes” when they should say “no”. Some are afraid to lose their face, since they think refusal means their inability. Some people are afraid to offend their acquaintances’ face, such as their friends, relatives and so on.In fact, doing so is quite harmful. If you agree to do the things beyond your ability, the result will only be worse. The other might as well have asked another person who can help. And if you agree to do the unreasonable or even the illegal favors, such as cheating in the exam, you are in fact not helping the other but hurting him. You yourself will get into trouble too.99. 6 Reading Selectively or Extensively?1.有人认为读书要有选择2.有人认为应当博览群书3.我的看法Some people think when we read we should read selectively. That is to say, we should select some books we are interested in and ignore the others. Reading selectively can help us concentrate our limited time and attention on those selected books.Others think we should read extensively. No matter what kind of book it is, we should look it over. We should read various kinds of books, whether we are interested in them or not. They maintain that reading extensively can help to enlarge our view and grasp the general knowledge in different fields.In my opinion, the two reading ways have their roles respectively in our reading. However, the disadvantages of each method are easy to see. If we only read the books we select or prefer, the framework of our knowledge may not be complete. Our knowledge would be rather limited. And if we read without selection, we may not have so much time andenergy to be specialized in one particular field. Therefore, the combination of the two methods is more reasonable. 2000.1 How I Finance My College Education1. 上大学的费用(tuition and fees)可以通过多种途径解决2. 哪种途径适合于我( 说明理由)Several years ago new tuition fee policy was put into practice and college students were asked to pay a certain sum of money. And now, all the students, no matter what subjects they are engaged in, must pay for tuition.There are many ways for a student to finance his college education. Most students ask their parents to pay the tuition fee and pay for their books, accommodation and other cost. A student can also apply for the scholarship. Most universities set up scholarship to offer money to the poor students who do well in entrance exams and reward those who do well in entrance exams and reward those who work well at university. A student can also apply for the low-interest loans. In addition to the above, taking part-time jobs is also a common way for a college student to get money to pay part of his tuition and fees.So far as I’m concerned, I’d prefer earning the scholarship. This means I must study hard and be a topstudent, which has always been my goal. After all, the task of a student is to study. And in addition to solving my financial problems, getting the scholarship can also prove my ability and is good for my future.2000.6 Is A Test of Spoken English Necessary?1. 很多人认为有必要举行英语口语考试，理由是......2. 也有人持不同意见 .....3. 我的看法和打算Is a Test of Spoken English Necessary?A test of spoken English will be included as an optional (component of the College English Test (CET) _____________________________________.A test of spoken English will be included as an optional (component of the College English Test (CET). Some people contend that it is absolutely necessary to hold a test of spoken English in China because we have been told many times that a Chinese student who has been learning English for years cannot communicate with a native English speaker. Sometimes even those top students who excel at grammar and writing skills find their English inadequate to express their thoughts freely when speaking. A test of spoken English will bring the importance of speaking English tothe awareness of the college students, and thus help them with their communicating skills.On the other hand, there are also people who maintain that good reading and writing skills would be enough for the average English learners. College students are already under considerable pressure from their coursework. Another required test will only add to their burden. Also, some students may take the shortcut and only practice the questions according to the fixed format of the test, which will not actually improve their spoken English.I believe that a test of spoken English will do more good than harm. Since China will continue its policy of opening and reform, the ability to speak fluent English is a must for anyone who wants to surpass others in a highly competitive society. Whether I take the test or not, I shall make all efforts to practice my spoken English in the rest years in college.2001.1 How to Succeed in a Job Interview?1.面试在求职过程中的作用2.取得面试因素：仪表，举止谈吐，能力，专业知识，自信，实事求是......Nowadays, in an ever tighter job market, great importance has been attached to an interview by both the employer and the applicant. The interview, so to speak, has become indispensable for getting a satisfactory job. On the one hand, the interviewer can take advantage of the occasion to learn about the candidates, such as their work experiences, education and their personalities, so as to pick out the right person for the company. On the other hand, the interviewee can make use of the opportunity to get to know the job he is going to take up, the salary, the working conditions and many other things about the job he is interested in.Therefore, the job interview is very important to a job-hunter. But how can one succeed in it?Firstly of all, the interviewee must pay attention to his or her appearance. The first impression is always where we start. Get dressed properly and neatly. Secondly, good manners ar e equally important. Don’t be too proud, and neither too timid. Just be courteous. Thirdly, the interviewee must demonstrate his aptitude and skills for the job and his knowledge about eh job-related areas. Be confident. Last but not the least, the interviewee oughtto be honest about his or her personal as well as academic background, for honesty is the best policy.To sum up, the job interview is indeed important, but there is no need to be nervous. As long as the interviewee has the ability for the job, with careful preparation and a fairly confident and honest performance, his or her success can be ensured.2001. 6 A letter to a SchoolmateSuppose you are Zhang Ying.
