篇一：专四满分作文荟萃

We might marvel at the progress made in every field of study, but the methods of testing a person?s knowledge and ability remain as primitive as ever they were. It really is extraordinary that after all these years, educationists have still failed to devise anything more efficient and reliable than examinations. For all the pious claim that examinations test what you know, it is common knowledge that they more often do the exact opposite. They may be a good means of testing memory, or the knack of working rapidly under extreme pressure, but they can tell nothing about a person?s true ability and aptitude.

As anxiety-makers, examinations are second to none. That is because so much depends on them. They are the mark of success or failure in our society. Your whole future may be decided in one fateful day. It doesn?t matter that you weren?t feeling very well, or that your mother dies. Little things like that don?t count: the exam goes on. No one can give of his best when he is in mortal terror, or after sleepless night, yet this is precisely what the examination system expects him to do. The moment a child begins school, he enters a world of vicious competition where success and failure are clearly defined and measured. Can we wonder at the increasing number of ?drop-outs?: young people who are written off as utter failures before they have even embarked on a career? Can we be surprised at the suicide rate among students? A good education should, among other things, train you to think for yourself. The examination system does anything but that. What has to be learnt is rigidly laid down by a syllabus, so the student is encouraged to memories. Examinations do not motivate a student to read widely, but to restrict his reading; they do not enable him to seek more and more knowledge, but induce cramming. They lower the standards of teaching, for they deprive the teacher of all freedom. Teachers themselves are often judged by examination results and instead of teaching their subjects, they are reduced to training their students in exam techniques which they despise. The most successful candidates are not always the best educated; they are the best trained in the technique of working under duress.

The results on which so much depends are often nothing more than a subjective assessment by some anonymous examiner. Examiners are only human. They get tired and hungry; they make mistakes. Yet they have to mark stacks of hastily scrawled scripts in a limited amount of time. They work under the same sort of pressure as the candidates. And their word carries weight. After a judge?s decision on you have the right of appeal, but not after an examiner?s. There must surely be many simpler and more effective ways of assessing a person?s true abilities. It is cynical to suggest that examinations are merely a profitable business for the institutions that run them? This is what it boils down to in the last analysis. The best comment on the system is this illiterate message recently scrawled on a wall: ?I were a teenage drop-out and now I are a teenage millionaire

Nowadays, there is a growing popularity of Internet surfing on college campus. An increasing number of students, majoring either in science or engineering or in liberal arts, spend many hours surfing the Internet with keen interest everyday.

Internet surfing has attracted college students like magnets because it is the world of Internet and the world of globalization. First,with the global coverage of Internet,we can reach out and touch anyone at any place of the world. Via Internet,we can send and receive E-mails at any time much faster, cheaper and more effective than conventional means such as telephone, telex and fax. Next,via access to the home pages of libraries, universities, journals and news agencies, and research organizations, we can easily acquire all kinds of information, to know what is going on all over the world. Finally, by clicking the mouse, we are capable of doing such important things as shopping, finding jobs, making friends, down-loading files and programs, doing business, publishing papers and freely airing our opinions on all sorts of interesting issues. What is more, Internet offhrs many opportunities. For example, we can work, educate ourselves and communicate with others at home via Internet.

In the Information Age, it is difficuh to imagine modern life without Internet. With the rapid development of Information Technology industry, successful dot-com

companies mushroomed everywhere. Internet is revolutionizing our economy, our society and our life.

Dietary Changes and Health Care

As is shown in the graph, China's food distribution has taken great changes from 1960's to 1990's According to this statistics of cereals, vegetable, meat, and fruits, the number of those who eat rice, flour or vegetable has greatly decreased in the past four decades. In contrast of this the number of those who eat oil or meat has sharply increased. From such dietary changes, we can perceive the rapid improvement of our people' s living standard.

Why does this improvement occur? The direct reason is the fact that the Chinese people have attached much importance to their health care. Nationally, China's economic growth is booming, and more people are getting richer. Individually, everyone's consumption of food is increasingly varied. In particular, most of people are reluctant to eat much vegetable, but much meat and oil in their diets.

In my view, the changes of China's dietary distribution seem to be both positive and negative. The positive aspect is that China' s economical growth has given rise to the higher level of dietary standard, with most of people living rich and happy. But the negative aspect is that, I'm afraid, less eating vegetable will lead to poorer health, such as lacking vitamin nutrients in one's body. Therefore, we think it necessary for the Chinese to be aware of the balanced diets: Lots of vegetable and meat, which may gain us healthier bodies in the new century.

Computer Age

1.近年来，计算机的应用越来越广泛2.计算机能做许多有益的事3.计算机也有许多副作用，

In recent years, computers have grown in popularity. You can find them not only in the universities but on farms and in factories, shops and other places. The number of private computers has also risen tremendously within the past few years.

Computers can do many useful things. They can provide people with efficient work, colorful entertainment and accurate calculations. High up in space and deep down in oceans, they are used to make scientific discoveries. On farms and in factories, they help to do difficult work. In offices and at homes, they take over routine jobs. With their incredible potentials, fantastic speed and unbelievable convenience, computers are getting increasingly important in our life.

The truth of the matter, however, is that any new technology, including computers, has a "dark" side. Computer crimes,which are difficuh to detect, cause a lot of trouble to business and industry. Unexpected computer viruses may destroy a large quantity of useful information. Furthermore, the indulgence of children in computer games is very had for their mental and physical healthy development. We should therefore, be careful in using conlputers.

University Life

1. The value of university life.

2. University life can be rich and colorful.

3. Students prepare for their future.

[优秀范文]

Time spent at a university is a most worthwhile period in a young person's life. This is a time when a student begins to form his or her ideas about life in general. Attending classes and studying in the library keep a student busy and provide him or her with access to valuable information, adding to his or her knowledge base.

Campus life can also be rich and colorful. Most universities offer a variety of extracurricular activities such as sports events, contests, and other social gatherings, enabling the students to experience relief fi'om study and homework. Students often form lifelong friendships through the varied experiences of university life.

During the time a student spends at university, he not only develops his intellectual ahilites,he also develops social skills as well as knowledge and wisdom necessary for choosing a future career. By learning how to balance intense study and recreation, a student will be well prepared for the challenges of future responsibilities.

Tobacco

Tobacco smoke is killing thousands of people every year and injuring hundreds of thousands more every day like children. Federal officials released a massive report that is sparking renewed efforts to ban smoking in public places. Secondhand smoke has been classified as known carcinogen, this classification is only shared by ten other pollutants.(These pollutants include benzene, asbestos and smoke inhaled directly from cigarettes. Govenor Mario Cuomo has asked the Legislature to outlaw smoking on school grounds and antismoking advocates said they would target airlines and fast food chains for similar bans.

The risk of developing lung cancer due to tobacco smoke is 1 in 1,000 for nonsmokers and 2 in 1,000 for nonsmoking spouses of smokers. However, the risk for smokers is 70 in every 1,000.

Passive smoking causes between 150,000 and 300,000 cases of bronchitis, pneumoia and similar infections in children less than 18 months old and worsens the condition of between 200,000 and 1 million asthmatic children. It is pointless to allow people to smoke in one part of a restaurant and not to allow it in another when eventuallly the nonsmoking section breathes in the smoke.

【专四】作文满分经验以及技巧心得

———————摘自知米背单词官方论坛 英语专业四级写作应该怎么写?在这里小编就和大家分享一下英语专业四级写作满分经验以及写作技巧。希望对广大考生们的备考有所帮助。

1.注重写好文章的框架

外国人看文章最注重的是文章的framework。即一篇文章好不好，首先看的不是他的句型，词汇，或是论点等。而是段落之间的衔接一定要十分清楚，我们不能老是采用大三段的形式-开头，经过，结尾。我们可以多用用连接词，例如：first of all, moreover, secondly, lastly等，另外可以多分自然段，给考官一目了然的感觉。还有我们可以多看看国外的文章，看看他们的写作模式。

2.句型的多样化

如果一篇文章，从头到尾，永远用的只有一种句型，那么这篇文章一定拿不到高分，我们可以适当的改换一下句型。

3.基本句型包括

Ⅰ.主谓句;Ⅱ. There be;Ⅲ.主系表结构的句子;Ⅳ.被动语态。

4.复杂句型

包括Ⅰ.并列句;Ⅱ.从句(定语，状语，名词性，非谓语)

5.词汇的Variety

做到这点真的很难，首先你要有庞大的词汇量，第二你要用的恰当，不出错误。大家可以累计一些固定搭配的词汇，例如：激烈的竞争fierce competition等

6.多举EXAMPLE(重要)

大家不要小看这点，对于写作基础不是很好的考生来说，这点是最重要的。一篇文章如果让你从头到尾都在讲道理，你有这么多话要说吗?而且有时候还不一定说的清楚。那么这时候你就用例子来表明你的观点。一位IELTS的外教考官说考官欢迎考生多举例子。

7.建议：

1)写文章最关键的就是审题千万不要出错误，不然就前功尽弃了。

2)例如小编积累的句子：

Cultivate independence

Develop a strong sense of responsibility

Enhance social awareness

Build up one’s confidence and offer one’s a sense of achievement—realize ones value and capacity

Widen one’s horizon and sharp one’s character

这些句子比较常用，而且在口语考试中也可以派上用处。最后给大家介绍一种写作模式，小编也觉得很不错：

With unprecedented advances in medical technology, a debate has developed over whether or not a person on life support has the right to die. On one side of the debate are those who say that… On the other side is the view that… In my mind, I completely agree/disagree the later .

There is no denying that …has many positive effects. To begin with,…Secondly, … Finally, …

However, every coin has its two sides. …is no exception. Many opponents say that …

To conclude, …

What comes to mind when you hear the word--diversity? Issues of race or gender may spring to mind．Equal rights? Or minority issues?

I encourage people to look at a much wider definition of the word．1 would tend to say diversity is “differentness” in any form．A good example of this kind of diversity has been experienced by every person who ever left behind the comforts of home and moved into uncharted territory．Issues of diversity are informed not only by your cultural background and context，but also by your religion，age，field of work，family situation， personality，and countless other factors that make us unique．Diversity affects everyone．

It’s for this reason that diversity has become such a buzz word．The buzz happens because it’s all about how you handle it．It’s very much like the job a composer has when creating a great musical composition．If the composer understands what each unique note and dynamic mark is capable of in combination with the other parts，the result achieved is extraordinary．If, however，none of the parts is communicating with the others，we’re left with a cacophony(刺耳的声音)．On a personal level．it’s this understanding and acceptance of “the other” which rests at the core of diversity．Whether we’re talking about navigating through a multicultural urban environment or uprooting and moving to a new foreign social context，it is necessary to set asid(来自:WWw.zW2.CN 爱作文网)e rigid assumptions about “the other” and put oneself in the other’s shoes. So how do we make this leap? It’s often as simple as asking questions and being careful not to assume that what you see is necessarily what the other side sees.

Often in my workshops I give a magic lesson to the audience to illustrate this principle. I first present the magic and accomplish the "impossible". The participants receive the same props but simply can’t manage. We look more carefully at the situation and realize that the assumptions they made about it actually blocked them from achieving this feat; a feat they suddenly are empowered to do which, moments ago, was impossible.

The goal in being sensitive to diversity is to cultivate a culture of respect for people’s differences and understand that such an environment is beneficial to everyone involved.

Diversity awareness is an evolution. We can’t get there by snapping our fingers, and it isn’t a matter of training people to have textbook politically correct attitudes. Instead it’s a case of looking at the big picture of how we see the world, understanding why we see it that way, and then making sure we do our part to genuinely value difference and benefit from it.

1. According to the author, diversity is

A. confusing .B. extraordinary .C. quite common. D. universal.

2. "It" in Paragraph Three refers to

A. diversity.B. the buzz. C. how to handle diversity.D. the formation of diversity.

3. The author believes that

A. to handle diversity one should put himself in others’ shoes.

B. when you are in a foreign environment, do as the Romans do.

C. diversity can hardly be defined. D. diversity derives from cultural difference.

4. The example of a magic lesson is to show

A. everyone can do magic. B. magic is nothing but a feat.

C. what blocks people from handling diversity. D. it is possible to achieve anything.

5. How to raise diversity awareness according to the author?

A. By living in an unfamiliar environment. B. By having politically correct attitudes.

C. By being sensitive to everything one experiences. D. By understanding people’s differences.

For a long time, researchers have tried to nail down just what shapes us--or what, at least, shapes us most. And over the years, they've had a lot of exclamation moments. First it was our parents, particularly our mothers. Then it was our genes. Next it was our peers, who show up last but hold great sway. And all those ideas were good ones--but only as far as they went.

Somewhere, there was a sort of temperamental dark matter exerting an invisible gravitational pull of its own. More and more, scientists are concluding that this unexplained force is our siblings.

From the time we are born, our brothers and sisters are our collaborators and co-conspirators, our role models and cautionary tales. They are our scolds, protectors, goads, tormentors, playmates, counselors, sources of envy, objects of pride. They teach us how to resolve conflicts and how not to; how to conduct friendships and when to walk away from them. Sisters teach brothers about the mysteries of girls; brothers teach sisters about the puzzle of boys. Our spouses arrive comparatively late in our lives; our parents eventually leave us. Our siblings may be the only people we'll ever know who truly qualify as partners for life. "Siblings," says family sociologist Katherine Conger, "are with us for the whole journey."

Within the scientific community, siblings have not been wholly ignored, but research has been limited mostly to discussions of birth order．Older sibs were said to be strivers；younger ones rebels；middle kids the lost souls．The stereotypes were broad，if not entirely untrue，and there the discussion mostly ended．

But all that’s changin9．At research centers in the U．S．，Canada，Europe and elsewhere，investigators are launching a wealth of new studies into the sibling dynamic，looking at ways brothers and sisters steer one another int0—or away from--risky behavior how they form a protective buffer(减震器)against family upheaval；how they educate one another about the opposite sex；how all siblings compete for family recognition and come to terms--or blows--over such impossibly charged issues as parental favoritism．

From that research，scientists are gaining intriguing insights into the people we become as adults．Does the manager who runs a harmonious office call on the peacemaking skills learned in the family playroom? Does the student struggling with a professor who plays favorites summon up the coping skills acquired from dealing with a sister who was Daddy’s girl? Do husbands and wives benefit from the inter—gender negotiations they waged when their most important partners were their sisters and brothers? All that is under investigation．“Siblings have just been off the radar screen until now，”says Conger．But today serious work is revealing exactly how our brothers and sisters influence us．

1．The beginning of the passage indicates that

A．researchers have found out what shapes us． B．our peer is the last factor influencing us．

C．what researchers found contributes in a limited way．

D．what researchers found is good and trustworthy．

2．In the third paragraph, the author tries to demonstrate that our siblings

A．offer us much useful information． B．have great influences on us．

C．are the ones who love us completely． D．accompany us throughout our life．

3．In scientific community, previous research on siblings

A．mostly focused on the sibling order． B．studied the characteristics of the kids．

C．studied the matter in a broad sense． D．wasn’t believable and the discussion ended．

4．Which of the following is NOT sibling dynamic?

A．A brother cautions his sister against getting into trouble．

B．Sisters have quarrels with each other．

C．Siblings compete for parental favoritism． D．Older kids in a family try hard to achieve．

5．From the last paragraph，we can conclude that

A．managers learned management skills from the family playroom．

B．spouses learned negotiation skills from their siblings．

C．studies on siblings are under the way。 D．studies on siblings need thorough investigation．

I lost my sight when I was four years old by falling off a box car in a freight yard in Atlantic City and landing on my head. Now I am thirty two. I can vaguely remember the brightness of sunshine and what color red is. It would be wonderful to see again, but a calamity can do strange things to people. It occurred to me the other day that I might not have come to love life as I do if I hadn't been blind. I believe in life now. I am not so sure that I would have believed in it so deeply, otherwise. I don't mean that I would prefer to go without my eyes. I simply mean that the loss of them made me appreciate the more what I had left.

Life, I believe, asks a continuous series of adjustments to reality. The more readily a person is able to make these adjustments, the more meaningful his own private world becomes. The adjustment is never easy. I was bewildered and afraid. But I was lucky. My parents and my teachers saw something in me--a potential to live, you might call it--which I didn't see, and they made me want to fight it out with blindness.

The hardest lesson I had to learn was to believe in myself. That was basic. If I hadn't been able to do that, I would have collapsed and become a chair rocker on the front porch for the rest of my life. When I say belief in myself I am not talking about simply the kind of self confidence that helps me down an unfamiliar staircase alone. That is part of it. But I mean something bigger than that: an assurance that I am, despite imperfections, a real, positive person; that somewhere in the sweeping, intricate pattern of people there is a special place where I can make myself fit.

It took me years to discover and strengthen this assurance. It had to start with the most elementary things. Once a man gave me an indoor baseball. I thought he was mocking me and I was hurt. "I can't use this." I said. "Take it with you," he urged me, "and roll it around." The words stuck in my head. "Roll it around! "By rolling the ball I could hear where it went. This gave me an idea how to achieve a goal I had thought impossible: playing baseball. At Philadelphia's Overbrook School for the Blind I invented a successful variation of baseball. We called it ground ball.

All my life I have set ahead of me a series of goals and then tried to reach them, one at a time. I had to learn my limitations. It was no good to try for something I knew at the start was wildly out of reach because that only invited the bitterness of failure. I would fail sometimes anyway but on the average I made progress.

C. the disaster made the author appreciate what he had.

D. the disaster strengthened the author's desire to see.

A. How to adjust himself to reality.B. Building up assurance that he can find his place in life.

3. According to the context, "a chair rocker on the front porch" in paragraph 3 means that the author

A. would sit in a rocking chair and enjoy his life. B. was paralyzed and stayed in a rocking chair.

C. would lose his will to struggle against difficulties. D. would sit in a chair and stay at home.

4. According to the passage, the baseball and encouragement offered by the man

A. hurt the author's feeling B. gave the author a deep impression.

B. The author suggested not trying something beyond one's ability at the beginning.

C. The bitterness of failure prevented the author from trying something out of reach.

D. Because of his limitations, the author tried to reach one goal at a time.

I have known very few writers, but those I have known, and whom I respected, confess at once that they have little idea where they are going when they first set pen to paper. They have a character, perhaps two; they are in that condition of eager discomfort which passes for inspiration; all admit radical changes of destination once the joumey has begun; one, to my certain knowledge, spent nine months on a novel about Kashmir, then reset the whole thing in the Scottish Highlands. I never heard of anyone making a "skeleton", as we were taught at school. In the breaking and remaking, in the timing, interweaving, beginning afresh, the writer comes to discern things in his material which were not consciously in his mind when he began.

This organic process, often leading to moments of extraordinary self-discovery, is of an indescribable fascination. A blurred image appears, he adds a brushstroke and another, and it is gone; but something was there, and he will not rest till he has captured it. Sometimes the’ yeast within a writer outlives a book he has written. I have heard of writers who read nothing but their own books, like adolescents they stand before the mirror, and still cannot fathom the exact outline of the vision before them. For the same reason, writers talk interminably about their own books, winkling out hidden meanings, superimposing new ones, begging response from those around them.

Of course a writer doing this is misunderstood: he might as well try to explain a crime or a love affair. He is also. Incidentally, an unforgivable bore. This temptation to cover the distance between himself and the reader, to study his image in the sight of those who do not know him, can be his undoing: he has begun to write to please.

A young English writer made the pertinent observation a year or two back that the talent goes into the first draft, and the art into the drafts that follow. For this reason also the writer, like any other artist, has no resting place, no crowd or movement in which he may take comfort, no judgment from outside which can replace the judgment from within. A writer makes order out of the anarchy of his heart; he submits himself to a more ruthless discipline than any critic dreamed of, and when he flirts with fame, he is taking time off from living with himself, from the search for what his world contains at its inmost point.

1. The writers that the author is familiar with confess that they would

A. work out the ending of a novel in advance. B. follow the writing methods learned at school.

C. remodel the main character in writing. D. make changes to the stories they first construct.

3. The word "undoing" in the third paragraph probably suggests

A. success.B. happiness.C. failure.D. sorrow.

4. According to the passage, the writer has no resting place because

A. he is not clear about what he will write at the beginning.

B. he should constantly edit his work to make it perfect.

C. he has to face a lot of responses given by readers.

D. he should add brushstrokes to the appearing blurred images.

5. Which of the following statements about writers is TRUE according to the last paragraph?

A. They have little ideas before they start writing.B. Their talent goes into all their drafts.

C. It does harm to their writing when they flirt with fame.

D. They try to increase communication with readers.

The simple act of surrendering a telephone number to a store clerk may not seem harmful--so much so that many consumers do it with no questions asked. Yet that one action can set in motion a cascade of silent events, as that data point is acquired, analyzed, categorized, stored and sold over and over again. Future attacks on your privacy may come from anywhere, from anyone with money to purchase that phone number you surrendered. If you doubt the multiplier effect, consider your e-mail inbox. If it's loaded with spam, it's undoubtedly because at some point in time you unknowingly surrendered your e-mall to the wrong Web site.

Do you think your telephone number or address is handled differently? A cottage industry of small companies with names you've probably never heard of--like Acxiom or Merlin--buy and sell your personal information the way other commodities like corn or cattle futures are bartered. You may think your cell phone is unlisted, but if you've ever ordered a pizza, it might not be. Merlin is one of many commercial data brokers that advertises sale of unlisted phone numbers compiled from various sources--including pizza delivery companies. These unintended, unpredictable consequences that flow from simple actions make privacy issues difficult to grasp, and grapple with.

In a larger sense, privacy also is often cast as a tale of "Big Brother"--the government is watching you or An big corporation is watching you. But privacy issues don’t necessarily involve large faceless institutions: A spouse takes a casual glance at her husband's Blackberry, a co-worker looks at e-mall over your shoulder or a friend glances at a cell phone text message from the next seat on the bus. while very little of this is news to anyone--people are now well aware there are video cameras and Internet cookies everywhere--there is abundant evidence that people live their lives ignorant of the monitoring, assuming a mythical level of privacy. People write e-mails and type instant messages they never expect anyone to see. Just ask Mark Foley or even Bill Gates, whose e-mails were a cornerstone of the Justice Department's antitrust case against Microsoft. And polls and studies have repeatedly shown that Americans are indifferent to privacy
