1、专业英语四级（作文）模拟试卷 70及答案与解析 一、 PART VI WRITING 1 New standards of filial piety released by the Chinese government specifying 24 requirements for dutiful children have triggered a heated discussion. The new standards include spending holidays with parents, visiting them regularly, calling them once a wee

2、k, and cooking for them. Should filial piety be regulated? Whats your opinion? Read carefully the opinions from both sides and write your response in about 200 words, in which you should first summarize briefly the opinions from both sides and give your view on the issue. Marks will be awarded for c

3、ontent relevance, content sufficiency, organization and language quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks. YES Putting forward the filial piety standards is aimed to promote the traditional Chinese virtue of respecting the elderly. China has a long history of s

4、tressing filial piety, which forms the core of family values. Compared with the traditional filial devotion, the new standards are more up to date and relevant to modern society. The new standards are an innovative way of inheriting the essence of filial culture. The modern society lays great stress

5、 on the legal regulation while filial piety which depends on peoples moral sense and inner discipline seems unable to prevail. What we need now is a code of conduct that helps to persuade people to practice filial piety. These standards do not intend to force people to obey filial principles by law,

6、 but provide them with a guideline. NO As a moral requirement for human beings, filial piety is unlikely to have perfect standards. Real filial piety is not something to be shown off to others, but something buried deeply in ones heart. Due to different living and working environment, the ways of pr

7、acticing filial piety may be different. It is unwise to require every child to follow the same standards. Besides, the new standards are not feasible in modern days as many people live far away from their parents and have little time outside of work. The implementation of these new filial standards

8、is not the right solution to the problem of Chinas aging population. As for the government, it is more effective to build up more state-run nursing homes rather than issue filial standards in order to solve the problem. 2 Nowadays the Internet media, such as Weibo, are influencing public opinion and

9、 peoples daily life strongly. Recently, students in Department of Journalism of a famous university are assigned with the task of running a personal account in Weibo. The number of their followers in Weibo will be counted as their final score at the end of the semester. Do you think it is appropriat

10、e to give this type of assignment to college students? Read carefully the opinions from both sides and write your response in about 200 words, in which you should first summarize briefly the opinions from both sides and give your view on the issue. Marks will be awarded for content relevance, conten

11、t sufficiency, organization and language quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks. YES Weibo represents the new channels of information in modern society. It is an attempt to ask students to run Weibo accounts and get followers, which encourages students to bet

12、ter adapt to the era of new media. Through the platform of Weibo, students can acquire a large amount of information by getting in touch with many celebrities and receiving opinions from different sources. For students who major in journalism, they can become familiar with the basic editing procedur

13、es and publishing skills by posting on Weibo. In order to attract more and more followers, students will try their best to build up their images on Weibo in a desirable manner, which can sharpen their creativity. In other words, they manage to put what they have learned in textbooks and classrooms i

14、nto practice. NO It is an absurd teaching approach to evaluate students achievements according to the number of their followers in Weibo. The number of ones followers in Weibo can hardly prove his knowledge or ability. It is ridiculous to say that a pop star with one billion followers is more respec

15、table and successful than a scientist with ten thousand followers. In order to meet the requirement, students may take a shortcut and pay money to increase the number of their followers. Whats worse, in order to attract public attention, some students may make up fake news, or publish gossips and ru

16、mors to attract more followers. It will go totally against the primary goal of college education. 3 The fever of luxury goods has now spread all over China. Buying international brands such as Louis Vuitton, Chanel and Gucci has become a fashion for many Chinese people, including those who are not q

17、uite affluent. Should people frantically pursue the luxury goods? Read carefully the opinions from both sides and write your response in about 200 words, in which you should first summarize briefly the opinions from both sides and give your view on the issue. Marks will be awarded for content releva

18、nce, content sufficiency, organization and language quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks. YES With the fast economic development over the past three decades, the consumption habits of Chinese people have changed greatly. For some consumers, many luxury good

19、s are simply high-priced commodities. Cosmetics and perfumes which cost a few hundred yuan, and some expensive watches can be afforded by many middle-income people in China today. Luxury goods, despite their high price, usually possess high quality and therefore can be used for a long time. Today as

20、 the average income increases, people have extra money to pursue high-quality life and to purchase luxury goods. For them, buying luxury goods is not to show off, but simply to enjoy the finest products. NO The fever of luxury goods reflects the blind worship of material wealth existing in our curre

21、nt society. By “ luxury“ , we mean “ a pleasant but often expensive thing that is not necessary“. Most luxury goods are not necessities, but since they are labeled as “luxury“, owning a luxury product is equal to living a first-class life. So many ordinary people whose salary can barely afford them

22、still follow the trend, which is a total waste of money. Many consumers buy luxury goods simply to flatter their vanity, because they believe the high price can add to their social status, and they can draw satisfaction from the show-off of luxury goods. If this tendency is not curbed, it will exert

23、 an adverse influence on the whole societys values. 4 Some people say the government shouldnt spend money in building theaters, museums and stadiums, but should spend more money on medical care and education. Do you agree? Read carefully the opinions from both sides and write your response in about

24、200 words, in which you should first summarize briefly the opinions from both sides and give your view on the issue. Marks will be awarded for content relevance, content sufficiency, organization and language quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks. YES Health

25、 and education are the basic needs of people. We often say health is wealth. Without health, even if you are a millionaire, you will not be able to enjoy your life. The society needs better medical system to ensure that every patient is taken good care of. This is the first step of social developmen

26、t. Our spiritual foundation is built by education. Only with more knowledge, can we catch up with the fast growing economy. We need healthy body and brilliant mind to change our world into a better one. Theatres, museums and stadiums are signs for a higher standard of living. Compared with our basic

27、 needs, they are less important. NO First, stadiums provide ideal places for people to do physical exercises and get entertainment. After a whole weeks hardworking, people can enjoy a wonderful football game on the weekend, and refresh themselves with good relaxation there. Second, museums serve as

28、base areas for education. The British Museum, which is the largest museum in the world, provides visitors with knowledge about world culture and arts. Visitors to the museum are all overwhelmed by the magnificence of the cultural and historical displays featuring mankinds achievements. In addition,

29、the performances shown in the theaters will also greatly enrich the lives of citizens. People can enjoy ballet, symphony, and Peking Opera in a theater, which contain the soul of Chinese and western cultures. 5 Along with the mass use of computer technology in education circle, we are delighted to w

30、itness the countless convenience brought by computer. Some people even argue that teachers will not be important in classroom any more. Is this reasonable? Read carefully the opinions from both sides and write your response in about 200 words, in which you should first summarize briefly the opinions

31、 from both sides and give your view on the issue. Marks will be awarded for content relevance, content sufficiency, organization and language quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks. YES The 21st century is also called the information age, in which computer pl

32、ays an important role in every field of our lives. There is no denying that computer brings great benefit to people and is of great help to students. Recently, computer-assisted education has become more and more popular in primary schools, high schools and colleges. The computers function of multim

33、edia makes classes more vivid and interesting. With unique superiority, computers can become the optimum teachers in the classroom. Vivid pictures shown on screen can motivate students interest and curiosity dramatically. Moreover, the combination of computers and Internet can provide students with

34、abundant information. NO Computers, unlike real teachers, cant solve a variety of new problems. Everything develops so fast in todays society, including education. What if a student suddenly asks a creative question that the computer isnt programmed for? The computer can do nothing, while teachers c

35、an explain the question according to their abundant teaching experience. Moreover, computers cant communicate with students emotionally. With a gesture or eye contact, a teacher can transfer his or her idea or feeling to the students. In this way, students can enjoy more human care in the classroom.

36、 专业英语四级（作文）模拟试卷 70答案与解析 一、 PART VI WRITING 1 【正确答案】 Filial Piety Should Not Be Regulated Filial piety, as the traditional Chinese virtue, has always been advocated by the public. But should it be regulated for people to carry out? Some people deem it as the effective way to preach the traditional vi

37、rtue of respecting the elderly in the new era. However, some hold that filial piety should be instilled rather than be regulated. Each individual has his own understanding of filial piety and will practice in different ways. From my personal angle, filial piety, as the legacy of our traditional cult

38、ure, should be inherited but not be regulated. We tend to have blind faith in the omnipotence of regulation. But most often, the greatest talkers are always the least doers. The sense of filial obedience is supposed to be inculcated in us. What is essential for us is to form good morality in our soc

39、iety. In addition, the government should also play an important role in providing health and retirement insurance for the senior citizens. The construction of the community for old people is conducive for them. On the whole, filial piety is an inseparable part of Chinese culture. It is our duty to p

40、ass it on to the next generation. 【试题解析】 本题讨论政府颁布的新版 “二十四孝 ”规定是否应该实行。在具体行文方面，考生应首先概述正方观点，政府应该颁布此类行为准则来要求人们尽孝，随后概述反方观点，孝顺不应该被 “规定 ”。接着给出自己的观点：不应采用规定的方式要求人们尽孝。最后总结全文。 【知识模块】 作文 2 【正确答案】 Weibo Assignment: an Immature Teaching Experiment Recently a news report about college students being assigned with

41、the task of running Weibo accounts has attracted a good deal of attention in the society. Some people applaud this new teaching method for it can enhance students skill to publicize themselves through new media. However, others doubt that this measure may mislead students to adopt improper ways to a

42、chieve the goal. In my opinion, the measure of grading students by how many followers they get on Weibo is unwise. Apparently, it will take quite a long time for a new comer to accumulate a certain number of followers. However, in order to accomplish the task, students may have to post exaggerated o

43、r even false information to attract the eyeballs. For students majoring in journalism, blurring the lines between what is authentic news and what are illusive lies may greatly degrade their work ethics in the future. Whats more, the number of Weibo fans cannot really reflect the quality of its conte

44、nts. In most cases, it is the gossip and vulgar information that attract the greatest attention. Obviously, posting this type of information to obtain a considerable number of fans cannot be beneficial to students who will become future journalists. All in all, the Weibo assignment can be seen as a

45、new but immature teaching experiment. Teachers supervision and guidance on Weibo assignment should be strengthened, only in this way, can it be more effective. 【试题解析】 本题讨论学校是否应该布置微博作业，以学生的粉丝数量来计算成绩。在具体行文方面，考生应该首先概述正反方观点。然后给 出自己的观点：布置微博作业是不明智的，并详细阐述理由。最后总结全文。 【知识模块】 作文 3 【正确答案】 Stop Pursuing Luxury G

46、oods The current craze of buying luxury goods is an inevitable result of Chinas economic and social development. For many Chinese people, especially the middle class, luxury goods are affordable items. The high quality of the goods makes them the primary choice for these people. In contrast, some ho

47、ld that this craze should be discouraged for it may breed peoples money worship and vanity. As far as I am concerned, we should damp the craze of pursuing luxury goods. The blind pursuit of luxuries can easily lead buyers to be sucked into commercial traps and deviate from their personal objectives

48、and social values. It will be destructive to our nation and society if young people consider buying luxury goods as the sole meaningful thing in their life. Moreover, the high price of luxury goods will lead to over-consumption. Many young people may become the so-called “Moonlites“ who spend all th

49、eir earnings buying bags or clothes of famous brands before the end of a month. What is worse, if their salary cannot maintain their consumption level, they may be stuck in financial problems. In conclusion, I believe that luxury goods should not be seen as the Bible of life, and we should carefully measure whether we can afford them or not. As the future of our nation, we should set up lofty ideals and aims instead of indulging ourselves in the craze of pursuing vanity. 【试题解析】 本题讨论当下的奢侈品热潮。在具体行文方面，考生应该首先 概述材料中正反方观点。然后给出自己的观点：我
