PART V READING COMPREHENSION [25 MIN]
In this section there are four passages followed by questions or unfinished statements, each with four suggested answers marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that you think is the best answer. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET TWO.
TEXT A
What is the nature of the scientific attitude, the attitude of the man or woman who studies and applies physics, biology, chemistry, geology, engineering, medicine or any other science? We all know that science plays an important role in the societies in which we live. Many people believe, however, that our progress depends on two different aspects of science. The first of these is the application of the machines, products and systems of applied knowledge that scientists and technologists develop. Through technology, science improves the structure of society and helps man to gain increasing control over his environment.
The second aspect is the application by all members of society of the special methods of thought and action that scientists use in their work.
What are these special methods of thinking and acting? First of all, it seems that a successful scientist is full of curiosity - he wants to find out how and why the universe works. He usually directs his attention towards problems which he notices have no satisfactory explanation, and his curiosity makes him look for underlying relationships even if the data available seem to be unconnected. Moreover, he thinks he can improve the existing conditions and enjoys trying to solve the problems which this involves.
He is a good observer, accurate, patient and objective and applies logical thought to the observations he makes. He utilizes the facts he observes to the fullest extent. For example, trained observers obtain a very large amoun
t of information about a star mainly from the accurate analysis of the simple lines that appear in a spectrum.
He is skeptical - he does not accept statements which are not based on the most complete evidence available - and therefore rejects authority as the sole basis for truth. Scientists always check statements and make experiments carefully and objectively to verify them.
Furthermore, he is not only critical of the work of others, but also of his own, since he knows that man is the least reliable of scientific instruments and that a number of factors tend to disturb objective investigation.
Lastly, he is highly imaginative since he often has to look for relationships in data which are not only complex but also frequently incomplete. Furthermore, he needs imagination if he wants to make hypotheses of how processes work and how events take place.
These seem to be some of the ways in which a successful scientist or technologist thinks and acts.
81. Many people believe that science helps society to progress through
A. applied knowledge.
B. more than one aspect.
C. technology only.
D. the use of machines.
82. Which of the following statements is INCORRECT about curiosity?
A. It gives the scientist confidence and pleasure in work.
B. It gives rise to interest in problems that are unexplained.
C. It leads to efforts to investigate potential connections.
D. It encourages the scientist to look for new ways of acting.
83. According to the passage, a successful scientist would not
A. easily believe in unchecked statements.
B. easily criticize others' research work.
C. always use his imagination in work.
D. always use evidence from observation.
84. What does the passage mainly discuss?
A. Application of technology.
B. Progress in modem society.
C. Scientists' ways of thinking and acting.
D. How to become a successful scientist.
85. What is the author's attitude towards the topic?
A. Critical.
B. Objective.
C. Biased.
D. Unclear.
TEXT B
Over the past several decades, the U.S., Canada, and Europe have received a great deal of media and even research attention over unusual phenomena and unsolved mysteries. These include UFOs as well as sightings and encounters with “nonhuman creatures” such as Bigfoot and the Loch Ness monster. Only recently has Latin America begun to receive some attention as well. Although the mysteries of the Aztec, Mayan, and Inca civilizations have been known for centuries, now the public is also becoming aware of unusual, paranormal phenomena in countries such as Peru.
The Nazca “lines” of Peru were discovered in the 1930s. These lines are deeply carved into a flat, stony plain, and form about 300 intricate pictures of animals such as birds, a monkey, and a lizard. Seen at ground level, the designs are a jumbled senseless mess. The images are so large that they can only be viewed at a height of 1,000 feet - meaning from an aircraft. Yet there were no aircraft in 300 B.C., when it is judged the designs were made. Nor were there then, or are there now, any nearby mountain ranges from which to view them. So how and why did the native people of Nazca create these marvelous designs? One answer appeared in 1969, when the German researcher and writer Erich von Daniken proposed that the lines were drawn by extraterrestrials as runways for their aircraft. The scientific community did not take long to scoffat and abandon von Daniken's theory. Over the years several other theories have been put forth, but none has been accepted by the scientific community.
Today there is a new and heightened interest in the Nazca lines. It is a direct result of the creation of the Internet. Currently there a
re over 60 sites dedicated to this mystery from Latin America's past, and even respected scientists have joined the discussion through e-mail and chat rooms.
Will the Internet help explain these unsolved mysteries? Perhaps it is a step in the right direction.
86. Which of the following statements is INCORRECT?
A. Latin America has long received attention for unusual phenomena.
B. Public attention is now directed towards countries like Peru.
C. Public interest usually focuses on North America and Europe.
D. Some ancient civilizations have unsolved mysteries.
87. According to the passage, the Nazca lines were found
A. in mountains.
B. in stones.
C. on animals.
D. on a plain.
88. We can infer from the passage that the higher the lines are seen, the ____ the images they present.
A. smaller
B. larger
C. clearer
D. brighter
89. There has been increasing interest in the Nazca lines mainly because of
A. the participation of scientists.
B. the emergence of the lnternet.
C. the birth of new theories.
D. the interest in the Internet.
90. The author is ____ about the role of the lnternet in solving mysteries.
A. cautious
B. pessimistic
C. uncertain
D. optimistic
篇2：英语专四考试真题及答案
TEXT C
Graduation speeches are a bit like wedding toasts. A few are memorable. The rest tend to trigger such thoughts as, “Why did I wear such uncomfortable shoes?”
But graduation speeches are less about the message than the messenger. Every year a few colleges and universities in the US attract attention because they've managed to book high-profile speakers. And, every year, the media report some of these speakers' wise remarks.
Last month, the following words of wisdom were spread:
“You really haven't completed the circle of success unless you can help somebody else move forward.” (Oprah Winfrey, Duke University).
“There is no way to stop change; change will come. Go out and give us a future worthy of the world we all wish to create together.” (Hillary Clinton, New York University).
“'This really is your moment. History is yours to bend.” (Joe Biden, Wake Forest University).
Of course, the real “get” of the graduation season was first lady Michelle Obama's appearance at the University of California, Merced. “Remember that you are blessed,” she told the class of , “Remember that in exchange for those blessings, you must give something back... As advocate and activist Marian Wright Edelman says, 'Service is the rent we pay for living ... it is the true measure, the only measure of success'.”
Calls to service have a long, rich tradition in these speeches. However, it is possible for a graduation speech to go beyond cliche and say something truly compelling. The late writer David Foster Wallace's graduation speech at Kenyon College in Ohio talked about how to truly care about other people. It gained something of a cult after it was widely circulated on the Internet. Apple Computer CEO Steve Jobs' address at Stanford University that year, in which he talked about death, is also considered one of the best in recent memory.
But when you're sitting in the hot sun, fidgety and freaked out, do you really want to be lectured about
the big stuff?. Isn't that like trying to maintain a smile at your wedding reception while some relative gives a toast that amounts to “marriage is hard work”? You know he's right; you just don't want to think about it at that particular moment. In fact, as is the case in many major life moments, you can't really manage to think beyond the blisters your new shoes are causing.
That may seem anticlimactic. But it also gets to the heart of one of life's greatest, saddest truths: that our most “memorable” occasions may elicit the fewest memories. It's probably not something most graduation speakers would say, but it's one of the first lessons of growing up.
91. According to the passage, most graduation speeches tend to recall ____ memories.
A. great
B. trivial
C. unforgettable
D. unimaginative
92. “But graduation speeches are less about the message than the messenger” is explained
A. in the final paragraph.
B. in the last but one paragraph.
C. in the first paragraph.
D. in the same paragraph.
93. The graduation speeches mentioned in the passage are related to the following themes EXCEPT
A. death.
B. success.
C. service.
D. generosity.
94. It is implied in the passage that at great moments people fail to
A. remain clear-headed.
B. keep good manners.
C. remember others' words.
D. recollect specific details.
95. What is “one of the first lessons of growing up”?
A. Attending a graduation ceremony.
B. Listening to graduation speeches.
C. Forgetting details of memorable events.
D. Meeting high-profile graduation speakers.
TEXT D
Cultural rules determine every aspect of food consumption. Who eats together defines social units. For example, in some societies, the nuclear family is the unit that regularly eats together. The anthropologist Mary Douglas has pointed out that, for the English, the kind of meal and the kind of food that is served relate to the kinds of social links between people who are eating together. She distinguishes between regular meals, Sunday meals when relatives may come, and cocktail parties for acquaintances. The food served symbolizes the occasion and reflects who is present. For example, only snacks are served at a cocktail party. It would be inappropriate to serve a steak or hamburgers. The distinctions among cocktails, regular meals, and special dinners mark the social boundaries between those guests who are invited for drinks, those who are invited to dinner, and those who come to a family meal. In this example, the type of food symbolizes the category of guest and with whom it is eaten.
In some New Guinea societies, the nuclear family is not the unit that eats together. The men take their meals in a men's house, separately from their wives and children. Women prepare and eat their food in their own houses and take the husband's portion to the men's house. The women eat with their children in their own houses. This pattern is also widespread among Near Eastern societies.
Eating is a metaphor that is sometimes used to signify marriage. In many New Guinea societies, like that of the Lesu on the island of New Ireland in the Pacific and that of the Trobriand Islanders, marriage is symbolized by the couple's eating together for the first time. Eating symbolizes their new status as a married couple. In U.S. society, it is just the reverse. A couple may go out to dinner on a first date.
Other cultural rules have to do with taboos against eating certain things. In some societies, members of a clan, a type of kin (family) group, are not allowed to eat the animal or bird that is their totemic ancestor. Since they believe themselves to be descended from that ancestor, it would be like eating that ancestor or eating themselves.
There is also an association between food prohibitions and rank, which is found in its most extreme form in the caste system of India. A caste system consists of ranked groups, each with a different economic specialization. In India, there is an association between caste and the idea of pollution. Members of highly ranked groups can be polluted by coming into contact with the bodily secretions, particularly saliva, of individuals of lower-ranked castes. Because of the fear of pollution, Brahmans and other high-ranked individuals will not share food with, no
96. According to the passage, the English make clear distinctions between
A. people who eat together.
B. the kinds of food served.
C. snacks and hamburgers.
D. family members and guests.
97. According to the passage, who will NOT eat together?
A. The English.
B. Americans on their first date.
C. Men and women in Near Eastern societies.
D. Newly-weds on the island of New Ireland.
98. According to the passage, eating together indicates all the following EXCEPT
A. the type of food.
B. social relations.
C. marital status.
D. family ties.
99. The last paragraph suggests that in India ____ decides how people eat.
A. pollution
B. food
C. culture
D. social status
100. Which of the following can best serve as the topic of the passage?
A. Different kinds of food in the world.
B. Relations between food and social units.
C. Symbolic meanings of food consumption.
D. Culture and manners of eating.

篇4：英语专四考试真题及答案
TEXT B
(1) Travelling through the country a couple of weeks ago on business,I was listening to the talk of the late UK writer Douglas Adams’ master work “The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy” on the radio and thought-I know,I’ll pick up the next hitchhikers I see and ask them wahat the state of real hitching is today in Britain.
(2)I drove and drove on main roads and side roads for the next few days and never saw a single one.
(3)When I was in my teens and 20s ,hitchhiking was a main form of long-distance transport.The kindness or curiosity of strangers took me all over Europe,North America,Asiaand southern Africa,Some of the lift-givers became friends ,many provided hospitality on the road.
(4)Not only did you find out much more about a country than when traveling by train or plane ,but there was that lelement of excitement about where you would finish up that night.Hitchhiking featured importantly in Western culture.It has books and songs about it .So what has happened to it?
(5)A few years ago ,I was asked the same question about hitching in a column of a newspaper.Hundreds of people from all over the world responded with their view on the state of hitchhiking .
(6)Rural Ireland was recommended as f friendly place for hitching,as was Quebec,Canada-“if you don’t mind being criticized for not speaking French”.
(7)But while hitchhiking was clearly still alive and well in some places ,the general feeling was that throughtout much of the west it was doomed.
(8)With so much news about crime in the media,people assumed that anyone on the open road without the money for even a bus ticket must present a danger.But do we need to be so wary both to hitch and to give a lift?
(9)In Poland in the 1960s,according to a Polish woman who e-mail me ,”the authorities introduced the Hitchhiker’s Booklet.The booklet contained coupons for drivers,so each time a driver picked somebody ,he or she received a coupon.At the end of the season,drivers who had picked up the most hikers were rewarded with various prizes.Everyone was hitchhiking then”.
(10)Surely this is a good idea for society.Hitchhiking would increase respect by breaking down barriers between strangers.It would help fight global warming by cutting down on fuel consumption as hitchhikers would be using existing fuels.It would also improveeducational standards by delivering instant lessons in geography ,history,politics and sociology.
(11)A century before Douglas Adams wrote his “Hitchhiker’s Guide”,another adventure story writer,Robert Louis Stevenson, gave us that what should be the hitchhiker’s motto:“To travel hopefully is a better thing than to arrive.” What better time than putting a holiday weekend into practice. Either put it to the test yourself, or help out someone who is trying to travel hopefully with thumb outstreched.
84. In which paragraph(s) does the writer comment on his experience of hitchhiking?
A. (3)
B. (4)
C. (3) and (4)
D. (4) and (5)
85. What is the current situation of hitchhiking?

A. to experience the hopefulness.
B. to read Adams’ book.
C. to offer someone a lift.
TEXT C
I am afraid to sleep. I have been afraid to sleep for the last few weeks. I am so tired that, finally, I do sleep, but only for a few minutes. It is not a bad dream that wakes me ; it is the realiry I took with me into sleep . I try to think of something else.
Immediately the woman in the marketplace comes into my mind.
I was on my way to dinner last night when I saw her . She was selling skirts. She moved with the same ease and loveliness I often saw in the women of Laos. Her long black hair was as shiny as the black silk of the skirts she was selling . In her hair, she wore three silk ribbons, blue ,green, and white. They meminded me of my childhood and how my girlfriends and I used to spend hours braiding ribbons into our hair.
I don’t know the word for “ribbons”, so I put my hand to my own hair and , with three fingers against my head , I looked at her ribbons and said “Beautiful.” She lowered her eyes and said nothing. I wasn’t sure if she understood me (I don’t speak Laotian very well).
I looked back down at the skirts. They ahd designs in them: squares and triangles and circles of pink and green silk. They were very pretty. I decided to buy one of those skirts, and I began to bargain with her over the price. It is the custom to bargain in Asia. In Laos bargaining is done in soft voices and easy moves with the sort of quiet peacefulness.
She smiled, more with her eyes than with her lips. She was pleased by the few words I was able to say in her language, although they were mostly numbers, and she saw that I understood something about the soft playfulness of bargaining. We shook our heads in disagreement over the price; then, immediately, we made another offer and then another shake of the head. She was so pleased that unexpectedly, she accepted the last offer I made. But it was too soon. The price was too low. She was being too generous and wouldn’t make enough money. I moved quickly and picked up two more skirts and paid for all three at the price set; that way I was able to pay her three times as much before she had a chance to lower the price for the larger purchase. She smiled openly then, and, for the first time in months, my spirit lifted. I almost felt happy.
The feeling stayed with me while she wrapped the skirts in a newspaper and handed them to me. When I left, though, the feeling left, too. It was as though it stayed behind in marketplace. I left tears in my throat. I wanted to cry. I didn’t , of course.
I have learned to defend myself against what is hard; without knowing it, I have also learned to defend myself against what is soft and what should be easy.
I get up, light a candle and want to look at the skirts. They are still in the newspaper that the woman wrapped them in. I remove the paper, and raise the skirts up to look at them again before I pack them. Something falls to floor. I reach down and feel something cool in my hand. I move close to the candlelight to see what I have. There are five long silk ribbons in my hand, all different colours. The woman in the maketplace! She has given these ribbons to me!
There is no defense against a generous spirit, and this time I cry, and very hard, as if I could make up for all the months that I didn’t cry.
90. Which of the following in NOT corret?
A. The writer was not used to bargaining.
B. People in Asia always bargain when buying things.
C. Bargaining in Laos was quiet and peaceful.
D.The writer was ready to bargain with the woman.
91. The writer assumed that the voman accepted the last offer mainly because woman
A. thought that the last offer was reasonable.
B.thought she could still make much money.
C.was glad that the writer knew their way of bargainning.
D. was tired of bargainning with the writer any more.
92. Why did the writer finally decide to buy three skirts?
A.The skirts were cheap and pretty.
B.She liked the patterns on the skirts.
C.She wanted to do something as compensation.
D.She was fed up with further bargainning with the woman.
93.When did the writer left the marketplace, she wanted to cry, but did not because
A. she had learned to stay cool and unfeeling.
B. she was afraid of crying in public.
C.she had learned to face difficulties bravely.
D. she had to show in public that she was strong.
94. Why did the writer cry eventually when she looked at the skirts again?

B.she liked the ribbons so much.
C.she was overcome by emotion.
D.she felt sorry for the woman.

篇6：英语专四考试真题及答案
TEXT D
The kids are hanging out. I pass small bands of students, in my way to work these morings.They have become a familiar part of the summer landscape.
These kids are not old enough for jobs. Nor are they rich enough for camp. They are school children without school. The calendar called the school year ran out on them a few weeks ago. Once supervised by teachers and principals, they now appear to be “self care”.
Passing them is like passing through a time zone. For much of our history, after all, Americans arranged the school year around the needs of work and family. In 19th-century cities, schools were open seven or eight hours a day, 11 months a year.In rural America, the year was arranged around the growing season. Now, only 3 percent of families follow the agricultural model, but nearly all schools are scheduled as if our children went home early to milk the cows and took months off to work the crops. Now, three-quarters of the mothers of school-age children work, but the calendar is written as if they were home waiting for the school bus.
The six-hour day, the 180-day school year is regarded as something holy. But when parents work an eight-hour day and a 240-day year, it means something different. It means that many kids go home to empty houses. It means that, in the summer, they hang out.
“We have a huge mismatch between the school calendar and realisties of family life,”says Dr. Ernest Boyer ,head of the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching.
Dr. Boyer is one of many who believe that a radical revision of the school calendar is inevitable.“School, whether we like it or not, is educational. It always has been.”
His is not popular idea. School are routinely burdened with the job of solving all our social problems. Can they be asked to meet the needs of our work and family lives?
It may be easier to promote a linger school year on its educational merits and, indeed, the educational case is compelling. Despite the complaints and studies about our kids’ lack of learning, the United State still has a shorter school year than any industrial nation. In most of Europe, the school year is 220 days. In Japan, it is 240 days long. While classroom time alone doesn’t produce a well-educated child, learning takes time and more learning takes more time. The long summers of forgetting take a toll.
The opposition to a longer school year comes from families that want to and can provide other experiences for their children. It comes from teachers. It comes from tradition. And surely from kids. But the most important part of the conflict has been over the money.
95. Which of the following is an opinion of the auther’s?
A.”The kids are hanging out.”
B.“They are school children without school.”
C.”These kids are not old enough for jobs.”
D.“The calendar called the school year ran out on them a few weeks ago.”
96. The current American school calendar was developed in the 19th century according to
A.the growing season on nation’s form.
B.the labour demands of the industrial age.
C.teachers’ demands for more vacation time.
D. parents’ demands for other experiences for their kids.
97. The author thinks that the current school calendar
A. is still valid.
B. is out of date.
C.can not be revised.
D.can not be defended.
98. Why was Dr. Boy’s idea unpopular?
A. He argues for the role of school in solving social problems.
B. He supports the current school calendar.
C. He thinks that school year and family life should be donsidered separately.
D. He strongly believes in the educational role of school.
99.“The long summers of forgetting take a toll ”in the last paragraph but one means that
A. long summer vacation slows down the progress go learning.
B. long summer vacation has been abandoned in Europe.
C. long summers result in less learning time.
D. long summers are a result of tradition.
100. The main purpose of the passage is
A. to describe how American children spend their summer.
B. to explain the needs of the modern working families.
C. to discuss the problems of the current school calendar.
D. to persuade parents to stay at home to look after their kids.

I. Dictation
Advertising
Advertising has already become a specialized activity in modern times. In today’s business world, supply is usually greater than demand. There is great competition between manufacturers of the same kind of product because they want to persuade customers to buy their particular brand. They always have to remind their customers of the name and qualities of their products by advertising. The manufacture advertises in newspapers and on the radio. He sometimes employs sales girls to distribute samples of their products. He sometimes advertises on the Internet as well. In addition, he always has advertisements put into television programs that will accept them. Manufactures often spend huge sums of money on advertisements. We buy a particular product because we think that is the best. We usually think so because the advertisements say so. People often don’t ask themselves if the advertisements are telling the truth when they buy advertised products from shops.

In this section there are four passages followed by questions or unfinished statements,each with four suggested answers marked A,B,C and D. Choose the one that you think is the best answer.
TEXT A
If you like the idea of staying with with a family,living in house might be the answer.Good landladies---those who are superb cooks and launderers,are figures as popular in fiction as the bad ones who terrorize their guest and overcharge them at the slightest opportunity.The truth is probably somewhere between the two extremes.If you are lucky,the food will be adequate, some of your laundry may be done for you and you will have a reasonable amount of comfort and chompanionship .For the less fortune ,house rules may restrict the freedom to invite friends to vistit,and shared cooking and bathroom facilities can be frustrating and row-provoking if tidy and untidy guest are living under the same roof.
The same disadvantages can apply to flat sharing,with the added difficulties that arise from deciding who pays for what,and in what proportion.One person may spend hours on the phone,while another rarely makes calls. If you want privacy with guest , how do you persuade the others to go out; how do you persuade them to leave you in peace,especially if you are student and want to study?
Conversely,flat sharing can be very cheap,there will always be someone to talk to and go out with,and the chores,in theory,can be shared.

篇10：专八作文真题
What emerges into our sights is a familiar yet far-reaching picture that there are a wide range of reality shows in front of a middle-aged man who, half lying on the sofa, is swinging a remote device in his hand with a confused face, wondering which one is the best to choose.
The meaning revealed by the picture is that reality shows have hit into our common cultural market. On the one hand, not only does this sort of consumer culture drives the improvement of cultural industry, but also it exerts a strong influence on our daily life, such as being informed of local customs and folklore from place to place, relieving the pressure derived from our working class’ regular work and so on. On the other hand, it is the wide spread of this form of entertainment that makes it difficult to present the real, cultural contents but only stays in the half-hearted nature. What’s worse, what the increasing imitative behaviors brings about, to a new high, is the national over-consumption.
As for me, the type of reality shows is a special product of the economic and social development that produces more benefits but less adverse impact. However, it is imperative for us, common people, to take a rational yet responsible attitude to the life we lead, especially the kind of activity we are obsessed with.

篇11：专四作文
Nowadays, the consumer credit is becoming more popular and people’s consumption idea is changing. Some people tend to spend tomorrow’s money for today’s comfort. They believe that anticipating tomorrow’s money benefits the individuals as well as the society. In my point of view, I agree with this.
现在，消费信贷已经变得比以前流行了，人们的消费观念也改变了。有些人喜欢为了今日的方便花费明日的钱财。他们相信提前消费对个人和社会都有好处。在我看来，我同意这个观点。
In the first place, for the individual, spending tomorrow’s money can make one enjoy the products or services that one can not afford at the present. Definitely there are times when one’s purchasing power can not meet one’s current needs of necessities, and anticipating tomorrow’s money can solve this problem. For instance, many families that can not pay cash for major items such as houses, cars, furniture and appliances are able to purchase them without cash on the installment plan.
第一，对于个人来说，花明日之财能够让人享受当前无法消费的产品和服务。能肯定的是，人有时候当前的购买力无法满足当前需求的必需品，那么超前消费就能解决这个问题。例如，许多家庭无法用现金购买大件物品，例如房子，车子，家具和电器，那么他们能够用分期付款的形式来购买。
In the second place, something unexpected may happened any time. For normal families, once family member are terribly ill, which needs a barrel of money. The consumer credit could play an important role in this situation, it could save lives.
第二，天有不测之风云。对于普通家庭来说，一旦家庭成员得了重病，需要一大笔钱，消费信贷在这时就扮演了一个重要的角色，它能救人一命。
To addition, spending tomorrow’s money contributes to the progress of our society. Overspending, which means a satisfied large demand for the consumer products, can help shape a better production structure, drive forward our economy and invigorate the whole society eventually.
再者，花明日之财对社会的发展也有贡献。过度花费意味着满足消费者的需求很大，能够塑造一个更好的生产结构，推动我们的经济，最终振兴整个社会。
In a word, using tomorrow’s money is a better way to make the individuals as well as the society goes round.
总而言之，花明日之财是推动个人和社会的好途径。
专四作文范文：做自由职业者还是帮老板打工?
2016专四改革已尘埃落定，专四作文取消了原有的小作文(便条)，大作文以材料作文为主题，约200词。新东方在线英语专四频道整理了2016专四作文范文供专四考生们参考引用。
Nowadays more and more people choose to work freelance instead of work for somebody else. It is a shame to work freelance in the old days, people would said that the one who are self-employed is a lazy man, and this kind of job is not security, they fear of instability. However, the conception is changed, work freelance has been widely accepted by public, me included.
现在越来也多的人选择做自由职业者而不是为某人工作了。在以前自由职业者是令人羞耻的，人们会说这种人很懒，还有这种工作没保障，他们害怕不稳定。然而，现在观念改变了，自由职业者已经被广泛地接受了，包括我。
In the first place, one of the biggest advantages of work freelance is that you are the master of your time. Once you are self-employed, you are able to manage your time by your own wish. You do not have to get up very early in the morning, especially in a cold winter morning, and take a crowded bus in case you will not late for work, which links directly to your salary. For me, I would love to stay home in my pajamas rather than fight through traffic so I can sit in a cubicle all day.
第一，自由职业的最大优势就是你是你时间的主人。一旦你当了自己的老板，你就可以按照自己的意愿去管理你的时间。你不必每天早上早早起床，尤其是在寒冷的冬天早晨，又去挤公车，省的自己迟到，这直接关系到你的工资。就我来说，我宁愿穿着睡衣在家里也不要艰辛地挤公车然后在办公室的小格子里闷一天。
In the second place, work freelance is a wonderful gift for an introvert. As you can see, if you are working outside, you can not avoid to working with others. It might be hard to deal with different people in the office. There is one more thing that you can not avoid, which is your social duties, drinking and eating. You can’t say no to this, or you will said bye to your job. As we know, too much food or wine is not good for our body, but as long as the cline feels happy, no one will care too much of their body.
第二，自由职业是给内向的人一份美好的礼物。就像你所见到的，如果你在外面工作，你无法避免和其他人打交道。在办公室和不同的人相处会很难。还有一件事你也无法避免，那就是交际应酬，喝酒吃饭。你不能对这个说不，不然你就对你的工作说拜拜吧。像我们所知道的，过量饮食喝酒对我们的身体不好，但是只要客户觉得高兴，谁管得了那么多身体呢。
To sum up, each type of work style has its own advantages and disadvantages, it is your choice. I think working should be a happy thing, if it isn’t, your life will be a sadly hell.
总而言之，每种工作方式都有自己的优势和劣势，这是你的选择。我认为工作应当是件快乐的事情，如果不是，那么你的生活就会变成一个可悲的地狱。

Cell phone seems to be one of the most important inventions of 20 century. Using cell phones to surf the Internet has become quite common in our daily lives. Cell phone has exceeded its original function such as making phones calls or sending message. Its multi-functions have make people’s tedious lives more colorful. Many people, especially the young generation, have found that they can not live without their cell phones. Many people feel uncomfortable in absence of their cell phones. This may become a symptom called cell phone dependency.
手机似乎是20世纪最重要的发明之一。用手机来上网是一件很平常的事情。手机已经超越了原有的打电话和发信息的功能，多功能的手机让人们平淡的生活变得有趣起来。很多人，特别是青少年，没了手机就不能活。很多人觉得不用手机不自在。这种症状可以称为手机成瘾症。
First, many people have addicted to cell phones, they spend considerable time and money on the phone, for it provide with numerous games and applications. Some of them even use cell phones as computers that they keep the phone open for all day long. As to some students, some of them even use the phones to play games in the class, when they should focus on their study instead. In this case, parents and teachers should limit the time that children spending on the cell phones, for its have more disadvantages than advantages.
首先，很多人对手机成瘾。他们花了大量的时间和金钱在手机上玩游戏和各种手机应用。有些人甚至像使用电脑一样使用手机，24小时全天开机。至于某些学生，在课堂上玩手机游戏，他们应该好好学习的。在这种情况下，老师和家长应该限制孩子们玩手机的时间，毕竟弊大于利。
Second, the dependency on cell phones has shown people’s anxiety towards to their social interrelationship. A day without cell phone just feels like getting lost in this big world. Every day, people tend to check their cell phones to see if they have got any messages or surf the Internet, but the cell phone truly affects their normal life.
其次，对手机的依赖表示人们的人际关系很紧张。一天不玩手机就像在这个世界里迷路了一样。每天，人们都会看看自己的手机是否收到了短信或者用它来上网，但是手机真的影响到了人们的正常生活。
There is no denying that cell phones have brought us considerable convenient. However, we should be aware of the negative effects that cell phones have brought to us. Just put down your cell phone for a while, and you will find that without your phone life can still be wonderful, too.
我们不能否认手机给我们带来了极大的便利。但是，我们应该意识到手机的负面影响。丢开你的手机吧，你会发现没有手机的生活也可以很完美。

大学生最应有的品质
The Most Important Quality of a College Student
Many people describe their college years as the best time of their lives. However, not every student achieves the same level of success. This raise the question: What is the most essential quality needed to succeed in one’s higher education
Personally, of all attributes that can contribute to a successful college career, the most important one is effective time management. To begin with, students who know how to manage their time effectively will be able to ensure strong academic performance. While getting high grades in by no means the only aspect of success for undergraduates, students who fail in most or all of their courses could hardly be considered successful. In addition, time-management consciousness can enable students to become more socially successful. University is not just an academic experience, but also a social one. Students who fail to budget their time and, in turn, fall behind in their studies, will have fewer opportunities to hang out with friends and classmates.
For the above reasons, I believe that time management is the most important quality for a college students.

On Volunteer
In recent years, the volunteering spirit has spread widely among the public, especially among youngsters. From Olympic Games to urban communities, many people are seen to offer free help.
Volunteering is of tremendous benefit to those in need. For example, hundreds of thousands of volunteers played an active role in the recent quake-hit Yushu area: they offered medical and psychological aid to the victims in the relief work. On the other hand, volunteering is beneficial to the volunteers themselves too. Involved in volunteering activities, people are exposed to new circumstancesj and they can learn how to work well in a team and how to improve their interpersonal skills, all of which are critical for their career development.
In my view, we should all join in volunteering work as long as we have spare time. That doesn’t necessarily mean that we all volunteer in regions struck by natural disasters. There are many people eise who need our help, i.e. the old or the sick in the near nursing home. Little by EittJe, we are sure to help make the world better
篇13：专四作文
Both Economic Development and Environmental
Protection Are Indispensable
I am not supportive of the idea that either takes priority. It is necessary and absolutely possible that economic development and environmental protection co-exist,in the sense that both of them are indispensable factors for the prosperity of society.
Economic development is seemingly more important, due to the fact that it creates enormous job opportunities, improves living conditions and increases government revenues. Yet, the above goals can only really be reached on condition that the environment is well. protected. And, interestingly, it is the economic development per se that provides the money and personnel resources required for the protection of the environment. A well-preserved environment is the groundwork for the economy and in a way promotes economic growth. A fast-developing and well-functioning economy calls for a good environment, which offers essential resources, e.g. wood, coal, water, etc. for production. Once the environment deteriorates, the production process is likely to be disturbed or even halted. What is worse, natural disasters that come with the worsening environmental conditions might even paralyses the whole economy mid pose a severe threat to human life, The pursuit of short-term economic profit is the destruction of our home and that of our posterity.
So, economic development and environmental protection are equally important. In this sense, we are actually working on an environment-friendly economy. Given the status quod, it is possible to realize the co-existence of the two as long as we are conscious and determined enough.
篇14：专四作文
The Importance of Adult Education
Many people in the workforce are unhappy with their current salaries or career and consider a change or a betterment of their lives through discovering new avenues of industry。Adult education is on the rise。I personally hold that adult education is highly advisable and pletely achievable3 and therefore is highly important。
Firstly， adults starting a new or returning to school most often have found within themselves a strengthened desire to succeed。 Studies have shown that 80% of adult students graduate as pared to a 50% average graduation rate among traditional students。Furthermore，adults have a bank of knowledge from life or work experience that can contribute to what they will learn in school。This is a fantastic advantage over their younger peers。Adults also view their professors as peers and are less intimidated by them，Last but not least，higher education for the adult is a life-changing experience。Most often， adults go to school to further their education in hopes of salary increases，chances for promotion，or they go to school for change，hoping to enter into a better field or pursue a field that they have a deep-rooted passion for。
In conclusion，the importance of having adult education overshadows the difficulties in pursuing your degree later in life。Given that most colleges and universities have tailored their programs to fit adult student's needs and schedules，going back to school for adult education is feasible and highly advisable。
篇15：专四作文
The Way to Success
There are many ways to success， such as hard working， passion or good preparations。 From Honore De Balzac’s famous remark， “There is no such thing as a great talent without great will power”， we can see that the way to success is having a strong will。
A strong will is essential if we want to achieve our goals。 Initially， every success involves several stages of setbacks and risks， and we need to summon up our will to overe them。 Moreover， there are enormous temptations in our path of the pursuit of success。 Only with a strong will can we resist the temptation， and persist in chasing our goals until we reach them。
The long history of human being has also proved that only those with a strong will can achieve success at last。 We are all familiar with Thomas Edison’s story that he had tried one thousand kinds of materials before he finally made his great bulb light up。 Without a strong will， Edison might have been a nobody。 Without a strong will， no one can succeed。

Killing Time Indoors
Nowadays a growing number of people， especially the 20s or 30s， tend to stay indoors for most of their spare time， especially on holidays。 Some spend the majority of the time online chatting， blogging， shopping， dating or playing puter games。 Some sit with their eyes glued to the television screen， day and night。
People’s opinions vary when it es to this way of killing time。 A great number of people maintain that staying indoors is cheap， fortable， and most importantly， very safe。 Others， however， frown upon staying indoors for too long。 They are worried that lack of physical exercise and face-to-face munication with others will do harm to people’s body and mind。
Personally， I don’t think staying indoors for most of the day should be advocated。 Instead， people in all ages， their physical conditions permitting， should be encouraged to spend more time outdoors。 The brilliant sunshine， the pleasant green space， the interactions with other people， etc。 are all good for people’s health， both physically and psychologically。
篇17：专四作文
互相理解
As an old saying goes，“Treat others the way you want to be treated。” Likewise，(同样) if you want to be understood， you must first seek to understand others。
To understand others is to put yourself into others' shoes and to be aware of their feeling。 That is often perceived as a mere selfless act; but in fact， when you seek to be empathetic(感同身受的)， you can melt an otherwise cold relationship and thus are more likely to get understood。
If clinicians， for instance， treat patients like medical conditions， not people， then minor disagreements between them may escalate into(矛盾加剧) greater conflicts。 On the contrary， if a care provider can put himself in patients' place， trying to feel their pains and sufferings， the patients will be more inclined to (更有可能)understand the clinician， even if the treatment falls flat。(不成功)
In conclusion， understanding generates within us love and inclusiveness。 Only when we attempt to understand others， can we truly care about them and tolerate differences。 It's understanding that enables us to have a generous heart to be considerate and benevolent(与人为善的)。If everyone is willing to do so ， we will surely be better understood and tolerate。
篇18：专四作文
The Importance of Daily Exercise
I definitely believe that a regular amount of suitable daily exercise is an important factor in maintaining one's health。 The focus is on the word “suitable“ because a person's age and physical condition can dictate the type and amount of exercise that is appropriate。
There is a wide variety of exercise routines available to suit people of all ages and condition but it is wise to seek the advice of a doctor before taking on a fitness program that may not be suitable: The growth of fitness studios in the big cities has made it easier for busy people to work out a program to fit their time schedule。 Most of these studios are staffed with petent and qualified professionals who can tailor a fitness program to best suit one’s needs。 Some people rely on sport to provide the exercise they need but some sports carry a risk of injury。 People who lead a sedentary life that does not involve much physical activity can offset this through isometric exercises。 While the professional studios e equipped with all the latest machines and aids， there are plenty of ways a person can get sufficient exercise without incurring the cost associated with studio fees。 Walking or riding a bike are excellent sources of providing free exercise but one of the most popular is the regular practice
of the Tai Chi movements。
In conclusion， daily exercise is important for health and there are many ways to do this which cost little amounts of money。

The power of cooperation
The intended meaning of the pelling photo above is far-reaching and affords much food for thought! One cannot help but be moved by the scene as illustrated in the caricature， where there are two handicapped men， with their broken legs tied together， running forward and leaving the dust flying behind the， with a caption underthis caricature indicating: “With one leg of yours and one leg of mine， we jointlybrave our way forward here and there!”
Given its profound social implication， the thought-provoking phenomenon is well worth our endeavor to explore。Undoubtedly， this cartoon arouses our deep concern over the issue of mutual support。 The message conveyed in it， I suppose， is twofold。
In the first place， in contemporary society， if one wants to achieve his targets or intends to fulfill his ambitions， he has to work hard， make efforts and get prepared on the basis of his team， otherwise， he will take no advantage of opportunities when they e to visit him。
Secondly， the difference between a man who succeeds and one who does not mainly lies in thefact whether or not he couldhe could cooperates successfully with others。
As a famous quotation from the ancient Greek Aesop’s Fables put it， “United we stand， divided we fall。” We should glory in teamwork and helping one another; take self-seeking to be a disgrace。
篇20：专四作文
该不该相信第一印象
Any opinion is， in fact， a judgment。 I feel that as Americans we would do well to judge othersless often。 Still， we must be able to decide whom to spend our time with and whom we’d ratherforget。 In my opinion， this type of judgment is best after we get to know other people。 Firstimpressions are not always accurate impression。
Judging a person based on a first impression does save time。 There are more people thananyone could possibly get to know in one lifetime。 It is frustrating to waste time getting toknow someone， only to find out that your first impression was correct and that you really don’tlike him or her。 So is it a waste of time getting to know people your probably won’t like? Thatseems to be a valid point of view， but I believe that it is not the best attitude to take。
It’s more humane to spend time getting to know people before judging them。 I know that Idon’t always make a good first impression even when I truly like the person with whom I aminteracting。 We all have bad days， I wouldn’t want to lose a job or a potential friendship simplybecause I picked out the wrong clothing or said something wrong。 I think everyone deserves thechances make a second impression。
If we all base our final opinion of others on first impression， it would be hard to get to knowanyone。 There is always more to people than meets the eye。 If we don’t give someone a chance，we may be missing out on meeting a life-long friend。 That would truly be shame。

Choose a Job You Love
When it es to choosing a job I believe that one's own interest should be considered as an important criterion。
I concede that big cities usually provide more opportunities than smaller cities。 And the challenges presented with big cities can also motivate new graduates to adjust to the real petitive world fast。 In the same sense， remuneration undeniably would be a major factor as well。 However， as far as I am concerned， the decisive factor should be one's interest。 People can easily be trapped in a job which does not inspire them。 But work can also be a source of infinite pleasure and enjoyment if it intrigues an individual。 Furthermore， one is much more likely to obtain achievements by playing to one's strengths。 Life would be more meaningful when one endeavours to pursue one's real interests and follow one's heart。 Admittedly， it is hard not to be tempted by a high salary。 Yet， in the long run， one will e to the realisation that it is shortsighted to exchange one's passion for monetary rewards。
In the final analysis， although there are a myriad of factors to be considered before making a decision， from my standpoint， I believe that one should never forgo one's true passion。

Decline in Morals
In modern society， the decline in morals is being more and more severe。 For example， there have been a few cases in which a senior woman pretended to have fallen over and then blackmailed the person who tried to help her。 There was also another case where a little girl was hit by a car and no passers-by gave her a hand。
To solve this problem， we need first to find out the reasons。 For one， the fast pace of modern society is driving people apart from each other， thus people are losing the patience to care for others。 For another， with technology developing， it’s much easier for people to know what is happening in the world today。 In order to draw people’s attention， some media would lay stress on negative news and overemphasize the negative effects。
To reestablish social morals， we must work together。 People should learn to care for the others， while the media should treat negative news more properly。
篇23：专四作文
Self-confidence
There are many factors that can contribute to a person’s success in life。 Whether he is at school or at work， a person is more likely to succeed if he is hard-working， honest， intelligent， responsible， and so on。 But of all the possible characteristics that can affect one’s success， I believe self-confidence to be the most important for the following reasons。
The first reason is that when a person has self-confidence he believes in himself。 He believes that he can and will succeed， and this gives him the courage to try new things。 In order to be successful we must be willing to take some risks， so having self-confidence is very important。 Another reason is that a confident person rarely gives up。 When he fails he tries again and again until he wins。 A final reason is that confident people are not afraid to show off their achievements。 This is not to say that they should brag， but that they should gracefully and confidently accept the pliments of others。 When their achievements are noticed more by others at school or work， they are more likely to succeed。
In short， I believe self-confidence to be the most important factor in success。 It enables people to take risks， try again when they fail， and enjoy their acplishments when they win。 With these abilities， a confident person can succeed easily at school or work。

择友标准
There are a lot of advantages to having friends who are different from you。 For one thing，they'll give you a different way of looking at the world，。 Friends who are different can introduceyou to foods， music， politics， and books you've never tried before。 If you're a spontaneous kindof person， someone who is more scheduled can help you get better organized。 You， on theother hand， can help them loosen up a little bit， and do things more on the spur of themoment。
Someone who is different from you won't have the same reaction to situations。 This can bea big help。 If you're the kind of person who gets very impatient waiting for your meal in arestaurant， it helps to have someone calm with you。 Your friend can help you keep yourtemper。 If you're a little timid about standing up for yourself， a more assertive friend canhelp you develop a little more self-respect。
However， there can also be advantages to having friends who are similar to you。 You usuallyenjoy doing the same things， so you don't have to argue about what you want to do。Sometimes it's fun experiencing new things。 Other times， it's more fun doing what you knowyou'll enjoy。
All things considered， I think I'd like to have a lot of acquaintances who are different and afew close friends who are similar to me。 That seems the best of both worlds。

人与环境
As the technology and economic is developing， the environment problem is being a severe problem， and the people are seriously affected。
The sustained damage to the environment has caused a serious problem， such as air pollution， sand storm， extraordinary weather， and diseases etc。， people suffer from what they have done to the environment。
However。 People have realized that it will be too late if they don’t do anything to prevent things from getting worse。 For example， there is an “Earth Hour” on a Saturday of March of each year。 It is a global movement， usually it lasts from 8:30pm to 9:30pm。 It is also called “Light-off for One Hour”。 During this hour， all the light will be turned off。 The purpose of this movement is not only to save energy， but also to warn the people to realize the importance of protecting the mother earth， and to stop violating the environment。
Anyway， people and the environment have to keep a balance relationship。 People take from the environment， and have to protect it too。
随着科技和经济的发展，环境问题变得严峻，人们也受到严重的影响。
对环境的持续破坏已经导致了一系列问题，例如大气污染，沙尘暴，反常气候还有疾病等等，人们对环境的破坏让他们尝到苦果。
然而，人们已经意识到，如果他们不做些事情来防止情景继续变糟的话，就太晚了。例如，每年三月的一个周六，有一个“地球一小时”，这是一个全球性的运动，通常从晚上8:30持续到晚上9:30。也叫做“熄灯一小时”。在这一小时里，所有的灯将会被关掉。这个运动的目的不仅仅仅是节俭能源，还警示人们意识到保护地球母亲的重要性，停止对环境的破坏。
无论如何，人与环境必须要坚持一种平衡关系。人从环境索取，也要保护它。
篇27：专四作文
Choosing an Occupation
One of the most important problems a young person faces is deciding what to do。 There are some people， of course， who from the time they are six years old ”know“ that they want to be doctors or pilots or fire fighters， but the majority of us do not get around to making a decision about an occupation or career until somebody or something forces us to face the problem。
Choosing an occupation takes time， and there are a lot of things you have to think about as you try to decide what you would like to do。 You may find that you will have to take special courses to qualify for a particular kind of work， or you may find out that you will need to get actual work experience to gain enough knowledge to qualify for a particular job。
Fortunately， there are a lot of people you can turn to for advice and help in making your decision。 At most schools， there are teachers who are professionally qualified to give you detailed information about job qualifications。 And you can talk over your ideas with family members and friends who are always ready to listen and to offer suggestions。
篇28：专四作文
赢得尊重的重要性
Although we would all love to be Ms Popular at home and in the office， at work the task is not to be liked， but to be effective， says puter sales executive Andrea。
”This is possibly the single most important lesson we can learn。 You can’t always be popular。 You shouldn’t have to be; it’s not what you’re there for。 Progress depends on having your own ideas and sticking to them。 And that means having the guts to make difficult decisions when you have to，“ she says。
We’re aware from day one in our first job that every decision we make is either a building block or a stumbling block on our career path。 We should use the time to lay the groundwork of future respect by being professional， responsible， innovative， diligent and reliable。
Respect is never given for nothing。 Claire knew that she was offered a move to Paris with her finance pany because she had gained a reputation for keeping cool under fire。 And the next step up the ladder would depend on her performance in Paris。
”It’s essential to build regard if you’re going to be able to do what you want in your job，" she says。 Winning respect enhances all you do。 A proposal for change is more likely to be well received; an application for a raise or a request for promotion is more likely to succeed。
