写作答案
Should Parents Decide Children’s Life?
In this illustration, we can see that a teenage girl happily informs her mother of the news that she is admitted to the college which her mother has selected for her. The picture implies the great influence that parents have on their children’s decisions. Choosing college for them is a typical example.
It is evident that parents’ thoughts and behaviors shape how their children think and behave. However, in my opinion, it is inappropriate for parents to make every major life decision for their children. For one thing, each child is an individual with his own character. Children’s perceptions of life may be different from their parents’, so their choices may diverge. For another, parents cannot fully comprehend what their children want or need and therefore their decision is not necessarily the best choice for their children.
All in all, it is advisable that parents respect their children’s choices and let them be the masters of their own lives. 写作点评
Should Parents Decide Children’s Life?
本题由图画中女儿的说话 “Good news mom! I was accepted to the college of your choice.” 引出话题，探讨家庭生活中父母为子女做决定的现象。这一话题没有明确的正误指向，要求考生首先对图画进行描述，再确立自己的观点，提出论点和论据。
大学英语四级考试作文一般与生活实际相联系。本题考查的难点在于要求考生提出对父母为子女做决定这一现象的思考，赞同要有赞同理由，反对要有反对的论据，中立也要写出中立的点在哪里。切忌停留在父母为子女做决定这一现象的表面描述。 正如我们在考前押题中所讲，此题建议考生采取三段式写作。 三段式：
第一段：简要描述图画内容(In this illustration, we can see that a teenage girl happily informs her mother of the news that she is admitted to the college which her mother has selected for her.) + 拉到自己较熟悉的结论观点(The picture implies the great influence that parents have on their children’s decisions. Choosing college for them is a typical example.) = 引出下一段
第二段：确立观点(It is evident that parents’ thoughts and behaviors shape how their children think and behave. However, in my opinion, it is inappropriate for parents to make every major life decision for their children.) + 两方面原因(For one thing/For another)
第三段：All in all… 提出建议，重申观点。
以上为英语四级作文点评，大家注意审题清楚，先确立论点和论据再下笔。希望大家总结经验，下次考得更高! 听力答案

8. A. Temporary closing has disturbed the airport’s operation. 短对话【点评】
【总评】：8 个短对话总体来说比以往四级听力要难，推理判断题居多，而且今年的听力原文中更倾向于接近真实生活，出现了口语中的省略现象。 1. 主要考查的是推理判断的能力。
本题的关键在于听懂反问句和反问的语调。男士说：“Is that any reason to quit? 这能是你放弃的理由吗?”反问语气表肯定!换句话说，男士的建议是你应该好好继续下棋。 2. 主要考查抓听细节的能力。
本题的关键在于听到细节“Mary should know it. ”男士说自己手边有一堆Sally的信件需要寄给她，所以需要知道她的地址。女士说自己很久没跟Sally联系了，但是结尾说了一句：“Mary应该知道地址。”
3. 主要考查的是推理判断的能力。
这道题同样是一个反义疑问句，表达肯定意思。关键听到男士的那句：“You’ve never see my handwriting, have you?”“你从没看过我的笔迹吧?”话外音可以推理出来就是：我的笔迹很难认，你肯定看不出来我写的是什么笔记。 4. 主要考查的是推理能力。
男士说我今晚要带女朋友去新开的漂亮饭店过生日。女士说我上周去过，太让我失望了。言外之意就是建议男士不要去这家饭馆了。 5. 主要考查的是抓听细节和推理判断的能力。
本题首先听到女士开头说的：“冬天终于结束了。”和男士结尾说：“我等了好几个月了啊。”显然是男士非常期待冬天快点结束，春天快点到来。 6. 主要考查的是抓听细节能力。
关键听到男士说的那句：Many thanks for letting me use them. 太感谢你让我看他们了。thank和选项中的appreciate为同义词。
7. 主要考查的是抓听细节能力。
本题是典型的动作判断题。通过选项全是动词短语就可判断应该抓听动词。而本题最关键的是细节：I decided to walk to work.和选项中的Go on foot. 为同义表达。 8. 主要考查的是抓听细节的能力
本题关键是听到男士的话：男士说今早机场关闭了一段时间了，而且仍然没恢复正常。其中的closed for a while和选项中的Temporary closing同义。 长对话一
9. C. It has a chemical processing plant. 10. D. He’s a salesman.
11. C. Mr. Grand’s personal assistance.
12. B. Provide details of their products and services. 长对话二
13. A. She listened to recordings of many European orchestras. 14. D. She began taking violin lessons as a small child. 15. A. It was the chance of a lifetime. 长对话 点评 【总评】
今年的长对话沿袭了近年来四级听力的风格，一篇是工作相关类;一篇是正式访谈类。 长对话一：
主要讲了一位化学产品公司的推销员想要向其他公司推荐自家公司产品的过程。 对话开头男士先表明自己的身份和想要推荐产品的意图，但遇到的问题是男士需要找的Mr. Grand非常忙，没空处理这件事。女士作为Mr. Grand的助理开始处理，问题的最终解决是要求男士提供自己家产品的详细介绍邮寄过来。
这是典型四级听力工作类长对话的模式：先工作方面的介绍，然后谈到工作中遇到的问题，最后是问题的解决。分别设置了这3个考点。相对而言，工作类考题比较难的地方在于部分词汇会造成干扰：例如，公司名Liquid Control Products，chemical processing, personal assistance, reference等，但除了personal assistance直接与考点相关外，其他单词没听懂考生也应完全不纠结。而personal assistance在选项中为所听即所得。 因此，总体而言，这篇长对话与往年难度持平。 长对话二：
本篇长对话作为正式访谈类的听力，一开始采访人从女士是否想过会在西方社会圈生活和工作作为切入点进行了一个热身;紧接着，女士回答自己一直对欧洲的音乐有所关注，采访人就
顺着这个点提到女士目前作为专业小提琴演奏家职业相关的情况，从而提到女士最早来到欧洲的原因是获得巴黎奖学金留学的机会。
长对话二非常简单，基本上没有生词，结合日常生活经验也可以比较顺理成章地理解一位亚洲日本小提琴家的成长之路：年幼开始学琴，从小对音乐有研究，有过欧洲留学经历，最终进入欧洲社会圈。 短文1答案
16. B) His personal history is little known. 17. D) He was a member of the town council.
18. C) Possible sources of clues about him were lost in a fire. 短文2答案 19. A) Theft.
20. B) Have the right documents. 21. B) Use official transport. 短文1&2 点评 Passage One
16. What does the speaker say about William Shakespeare? 答案：B) His personal history is little known.
【点评】本题考查事实细节。文章中作者先提出“有多少人了解莎士比亚本人”的问题，接着指出各学者经过几个世纪的研究之后，仍然在不断探索发现他的个人史。由此可知，莎士比亚的个人史很少有人知道。
17. What do we learn about Shakespeare's father? 答案：D) He was a member of the town council.
【点评】本题考查事实细节。文章中提到莎士比亚的父亲受人尊敬，是Stratford-on-Avon镇议会的一名成员。选项a member of the town council与原文完全对应。
18. Why does the speaker say parts of Shakespeare's life will remain a mystery? 答案：C) Possible sources of clues about him were lost in a fire.
【点评】本题考查事实细节。文章中提到莎士比亚一部分的生活将永远不为人所知。因为1666年伦敦的一场大火把很多重要文件烧毁了，而这些本来可能是了解莎士比亚的重要线索。所以答案选择Possible sources of clues about him were lost in a fire。 Passage Two
19. What is mentioned as a most common danger when people go travelling abroad? 答案：A) Theft.
