本次四级作文探讨的是最近的热点话题之一——互联网网购。目前网购的风靡程度是众所周知,因此,考生对于该话题还是比较熟悉的。但是,比较特殊的是,题干所列出的要求的是考生从一个客观的角度来阐述该话题,而不是简单陈述自己的意见。所以,考生应当审清楚题,在写作时不仅仅要列出网购的优点,还必须给出相应的缺点。
按照四级作文的要求,考生在第一段时应该总述现象并引出话题;
第二段考生应当从正反两方面来论述网购,分别铺陈其优缺点;关于优点,网购的优点很多,考生可择其最突出显著的方面来阐述,比如说网购可以节省很多时间;网购可以节省很多成本开支等;其次,缺点方面考生可以把重心放在诚信方面;为了不至于跟优点相比,缺点方面太轻,考生可以考虑稍微提一下其他缺点,比如说与传统购物相比,网购少去了很多砍价的乐趣;
第三点要求考生对于第二段列出的缺点给出自己的建议。此处我们可以根据第二段列出的缺点方面给出相应的防范应对措施。
整篇作文话题比较好展开,难度不大,只要考生审好题,列出相应点,相信作文不会他是难题。 外教版
Online shopping has been a boon to many industries and companies looking to expand their markets. Also, it's convenient for shoppers who are too busy to leave the house. However, in some cases nothing can replace a true face to face shopping experience.
Internet shopping is convenient for the mothers who spend all day doing house chores and for the fathers who work a full-time job. On the other hand, there are limits to shopping online, for example: guessing the correct size of clothing on a computer screen can be very frustrating.
For the busy mother and father, online shopping is a very useful and convenient tool. But, there are instances, like clothes shopping, where nothing beats the real thing. 点评:
作者在第一段描述了网购作为一种时尚给大家的生活带来了便利,然后话锋一转,说网购仍然取代不了面对面的购物交流。
第二段主要还是从正反两方面分析了网购的优势和不足,以此描述大家对网购的不同反应。
第三段作者表明了自己的观点,对网购的便利和不足之处都做了描述。
综合来讲,本篇文章观点明确,结构清晰,语言表达地道,有不少闪光词汇,但是,内容深度上来讲还有些欠缺,另外,最后一部分表达个人观点,和第二段稍有重复。考生需要注意观点的清晰,不宜模棱两可。
Part II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)
Part IV Reading Comprehension (Reading in depth) Section A 文章大意:
47 N tend48 L negative49 H efficiently50 B associated51 A alert
52 J function/53 F definitely54 O younger55 E continuing56 G different 文章大意:本文主要讲述的是关于老年人睡眠的问题:是否老年人与年轻人相比只需要较少的睡眠时间?
47. tend to 固定搭配;表示“倾向于;”符合句意;
48. 空格后是effect, 前面是a(n), 由此可见,该处需要填入一个形容词;题目给出的形容词有negative, sufficient, younger;根据前后语意,填入negative最为恰当,表示“少的睡眠时间对大脑的活动有负面的影响。”
49. 根据推测,该处应该填入一个副词,题目给出的副词有efficiently, definitely, formally;前面提到,老年人在睡觉的时候更容易被打断,而后面用while提出一个对比的概念,年轻人相比起来能获得更_______ 的睡眠;综合起来,选用efficiently(最有效率的)最为准确。
50. be associated with 固定搭配;表示“与…联系在一起”;本句话表示“更多的睡眠通常都与健康度联系在一起”;
51. 先看整句话的含义,“如果他们能睡更长的时间,他们的感觉应该会更好以及…”那么,该处应该填入一个褒义词,选择alert比较恰当,表示“更加警觉,机灵”;
52. 根据判断,此处应该填入一个动词,剩下的动词有cling, function;整句话的意思是“当我们上了年纪的时候,我们一觉睡到天亮的能力下降了,但是,我们需要…的睡眠量并没有改变;”空格后的单词是well, cling 在这里并不合适,一般与to连用;选用function 最为适合;
53. 作者在首段已经提出这个观点是一个myth,那么显而易见最后一段中出现的myth是作为一种强调手段,应填入definitely;
54. 空格的前面是 when they were…, “当他们年轻的时候”;应填入younger; 55. 本句的意思是“我们的数据显示老年人将从…获益;”空格的后面是“得到和他们在三十多岁的时候能得到的睡眠一样多”;根据上下文意思,该处应填入“continuing”; 56. different from 固定搭配;表示“和…不同”;
总的说来,建议大家在做题之前对所给的所有词汇进行一下简单的词性分类,这样,更有助于考生快速有效地从最小的范围内选出答案。 Passage One
57. What can we learn from some recent studies?
答案:D. Interracial lodging may have diverse outcomes. 关键词:recent studies, but also
定位:题干中some recent studies提示答案定位在第一段第一句话。 解析:问题提问从最近的研究中我们可以了解到什么?第一段第一句中Several recent studies found that…与题干对应,由此可知that后的就是recent studies的内容,即being randomly assigned to a roommate of another race can lead to increased tolerance but also to a greater likelihood of conflict。其中“being randomly assigned to a roommate of another race”对应了选项D中的“interracial lodging”,“can… but also…”说明了interracial lodging是有利有弊的。因此D选项符合文意。而C选项“弊大于利”不符合文意, A“不同种族学生之间的争执是不可避免的”选项与B“不同种族的学生相互存在偏见”原文中没有明确提及
58. What does Sam Boakye's remark mean?
答案:D. Being surrounded by white peers motivates a black student to work harder to succeed.
关键词:surrounded, something to prove
定位:题干中出现的人名Sam Boakye提示答案定位在第四段第一句话。
解析:问题提问Sam Boakye的话是什么意思?通过定位可以找到Sam Boakye的那段话,即if you're surrounded by whites, you have something to prove. 这句话
前面的插入语-the only black student on his freshman year floor- 介绍了Sam Boakye作为黑人学生的背景,帮助我们理解之前那句话:如果你的周围都是白人,那么一定会去证明些什么,言下之意就是选项D“白人同伴的存在会激励黑人学生更加努力地去取得成功”。而选项A, B, C在文中没有明确提及。本题选项C有个干扰信息“the freshman year”,在原文中出现。某些考生看到这个词,不假思索就选择了这个选项,但没有搞懂原文的意思,导致错误选择。请考生留意。
59. What does the Indian University study show?
答案:A. Interracial roommates are more likely to fall out. 关键词:Indian University, more likely,
定位:题干中出现的机构名称Indian University提示答案定位在第七段第一句话。 解析:问题提问Indian University的研究显示了什么?通过定位可以发现研究结果显示Interracial roommate were three times as likely as two white roommates to no longer live together,与选项A中的more likely to fall out 对应,因此选择D。此处,fall out 应该理解为“散伙,分开”有些考生可能因为不理解意思而产生歧义,请考生留意。
60. What does Alec Webley consider to be the “definition of integration”? 答案:D. The school randomly assigns roommates without regard to race. 关键词:Alec Webley, definition of integration
定位:题干出现的人名Alec Webley提示答案定位在第十段第一句。
解析:通过定位找到人名,人名后出现“This is the definition of integration”,由“this”可知人名前就是我们要找的答案,即the process throws you together randomly,“throw you together randomly”与“randomly assign”对应。意思与选项D符合。因此,此处选择D。
61. What does Grace Kao say about interracial lodging?
答案:A. It is unscientific to make generalizations about it without further study.
关键词:Grace Kao, generalizations
定位:题干中出现的人名Grace Kao以及generalizations提示答案定位在文章最后一段。根据最后一段意思:要得出Interracial lodging的一般规律,需要对学生的背景特征有更多的研究,与选项D的意思相同。而选项ABC在文中没有明确提及。
Passage Two
本篇文章主要是围绕一份来自Global Humanitarian Forum的报告展开的,在解题之前,通过对5个题干的浏览,以及在原文中的定位,可以发现,这篇文章是严格按照顺序原则来出题的。每一个题干中都有大写的字母,这些首字母大写的单词既是关键词,也是定位词,可以有效地帮助我们到原文中准确定位,节省答题时间。
62. What is the finding of the Global Humanitarian Forum?
答案:B. Rates of death from illnesses have risen due to global warming. 关键词:Global Humanitarian Forum 定位:第一段、第二段
解析:一般而言,四级的阅读题目大致遵循顺序原则,此篇文章正好是遵循此规律的。在文章的第一段,第一行,我们看到“… 300,000 deaths and about $ 125 billion …”,
