2017年英语专四作文真题及范文英文回答：[Instruction]Your task is to write a letter to your frienddiscussing the benefits and drawbacks of social media. You should write at least 800 words.Dear [Friend's name],。
I hope this letter finds you in good health and spirits.I am writing to you today to share my thoughts on the topic of social media. As you know, social media has become an increasingly prevalent part of our lives in recent years. While it offers many benefits, there are also somepotential drawbacks that we should be aware of.One of the main benefits of social media is that it allows us to stay connected with friends and family wholive far away. In the past, it was much more difficult to keep in touch with people who lived in different cities or countries. However, with the advent of social media, we can now easily share photos, videos, and updates with our loved ones, regardless of where they live. This can be a great way to stay close to those who matter most to us.Another benefit of social media is that it can be a great way to learn new things. There are countless educational resources available on social media, including articles, videos, and podcasts. We can also use social media to connect with experts in various fields and learn from their experiences. This can be a great way to expand our knowledge and skills.However, there are also some potential drawbacks to social media that we should be aware of. One of the biggest concerns is that social media can be addictive. It can be easy to get lost scrolling through our feeds for hours on end, and this can lead to us neglecting other important aspects of our lives, such as our relationships, our work, and our health.Another concern is that social media can be a breeding ground for cyberbullying. People can use social media to anonymously post hurtful or hateful comments about others. This can have a devastating impact on the victims of cyberbullying, and it can make it difficult for them tofeel safe and secure online.Finally, social media can also be used to spread fake news and misinformation. This can be a problem because it can lead people to believe things that are not true, and this can have a negative impact on our society.Overall, I believe that social media has the potential to be a positive force in our lives. However, it is important to be aware of the potential drawbacks and to use social media in moderation. By doing so, we can enjoy the benefits of social media while minimizing the risks.I would love to hear your thoughts on this topic. Please let me know what you think about the benefits and drawbacks of social media.Best regards,。

英语写作 2018 年 4 月试题真题及答案（00603）1、HappinessWhat makes a person happy? If people want to be happy, should they seek money and professional success? Many experts are trying to find out the obstacles to happiness and the ways to overcome them. The strategies they have offered are simple yet effective: to be true to oneself, avoid comparison with others financially, and welcome laws and rules that increase the general happiness of the population.One of the chief obstacles to happiness is being untrue to one’s real desire. Researchers have found that people who follow their authentic desires generally report being happier than those who do not. At its core, authenticity implies discovering and pursuing what people care about most. Take Linda's choice of career as an example. She found herself caught in the middle between her own dream of being a navigator and following her parents' advice of becoming a teacher. Her compromise to family expectations and social traditions has caused her lifelong regret. Therefore, people need to be true to themselves to increase the sense of personal happiness.Finally, people often benefit from some laws and social rules, which may even cost money, like paying taxes. People need to realize that some taxes can make the public happier, because they improve the overall quality of life. In one study of cigarette taxes, researchers conclude that “taxes may affect the happiness of former smokers (by making it easier to resist the temptation to resume smoking) or would-be smokers (by making it easier to never start smoking).” This example demonstrates how social rules can lead to the general happiness of its population, even through the apparently negative practice of increased taxation. Taxes also contribute to the funds available for other social purposes. This further proves the need for taxation.These are merely three ways that scholars of happiness studies have recommended to help enhance personal happiness. People should seek to live as their authentic selves in their personal and professional lives. They should avoid social comparison and live within their means. Furthermore, they should welcome any practice that increases the general happiness of the population. Everyone says they want to be happy, and happiness studies may help people learn how to lead happier lives rather than to passively expect happiness to find them.问题内容：试题答案：Comparison with others financially can also be a chief obstacle to happiness. When people compare themselves with others, they prefer to see themselves as in some way superior. In an experiment, social scientists asked whether people would prefer earning $50,000 per year while their peers earned $25,000, or whether they would prefer earning $100,000 while their peers averaged $250,000 annually. Although people would earn more in the latter scenario, most chose the former, as they wished to see themselves as more successful than others. Thus, a simple way to increase happiness is for people to reject the urge to compare themselves with others based on their financial situations.【评分参考】1、本部分满分 20 分，按四个档次给分。

AFour Wild Animal Species Were Endangered Maybe you can still see them at the zoo. But that doesn’t mean they’re doing alright in the wild.TigersAll six tiger species are endangered, with Sumatran tigers and South Chin tigers at a seriously endangered status. The main reasons for their population decline are illegal hunting and destroyed habitats(栖息地), as humans clear forests to gather timber（木材）and build roadways. Only about 3890 tigers presently live in the wild.Ground squirrelsThat’s right, even squirrels are endangered, specifically the San Joaquin ground squirrel. Native to California, USA, these guys have been disappearing since 1979 on account of the construction and human developments going through their habitat. Their total population is unknown , but it could be anywhere between 124000 and 413000.GiraffesThe International Union for the Conservation of Nature recently put giraffes at a vulnerable status, the level just before endangered. The giraffe population has declined 40 percent in the last 30 years, primarily due to loss of habitat and illegal hunting. Some giraffes are killed just for their tails, which are considered status symbols in Africa.Asian elephantsThe main threat to Asian elephants, one of the most intelligent animals, is their shrinking habitat. As the human population grows, people invade their land to build roads and railway tracks. Elephants in Myanmar are at an especially high risk for being captured and traded or used illegally in the tourist industry. Fewer than 50000 are left on the entire continent.21. What is the total population of tigers living in the wild?A. Around 3890.B. 50000.C. 124000.D. 413000.22. Which of the following is considered one of the most intelligent animals?A. Tigers.B. Giraffes.C. Ground squirrels.D. Asian elephants.23. What is the common threat to the four wild animals?A. Illegal hunting.B. Disturbed habitat.C. Developing tourism.D. Unnecessary construction.24. Which word can best describe the present situation for protecting wild animals?A. Satisfactory.B. Optimistic.C. Urgent.D. Stable.BToddler World Nursery was delighted to employ a trainee---twenty-two-old Jonathan Brown—as their first male nursery schoolteacher. He was also the only man who applied for the job, but, insists Margery Bowman, head teacher of Toddler World, by far the best applicant. “Both boys and girls will be nefit from the experience of having a male role model in the nursery.” Says mother of two, Margery.Jonathan has always been interested in childcare. His own mother is a childminder and his father is a teacher. “I’ve always helped Mum with looking after al l the children.” he says. “I’m used to changing nappies, feeding babies, reading stories and playing with Lego.”But Jonathan is a rare male in a female world. Only 2% of nursery teachers are men and this hasn’t changed for ten years. Roger Olsen of the Na tional Nursery Trust said, “Men are often viewed with anxiety and suspicion(怀疑)in a children’s environment. Or they are expected to do things the way women would do them. But men bring different things into childcare and this has to be recoginsed.” Jonathan agrees. He is a qualified under-7s football coach, and plants to introduce football lessons to the nursery for boys and girls.What do Jonathan’s friends think of his choice of career?“Actually, most of them are pretty cool about it now.” he says, “thou gh they do make jokes about nappies. And I’ve found that girls are actually quite impressed –so that’s good!”25. Why was Jonathan employed by Toddler World Nursery?A. He was the best among all the applicants.B. He was the only man who applied for the job.C. He would be able to teach kids to play football.D. He would do things the way women would do them.26. Which of the following can replace the underlined word “childminder” (Para.2)?A. Instructor.B. Superior.C. Baby-sitter.D. Coach.27. What did Roger Olsen say about the job of childcare?A. It has been women-specific.B. It requires people’s understanding.C. It takes time to make some changes.D. It needs men teachers to bring something different.CFinding your feet in a new town can be hard, especially if you’re covered in fur and don’t speak the language. But for pets new to Marlborough, help is at hand.Marlborough SPCA and the Railway Café, in Blenheim, have joined forces to help welcome pets and their people to the region with a fortnightly morning tea. They hope the morning teas will get tails and tongues wagging as well as giving advice on how to make the move smoother.Railway Café owner Leanne Harris came up with the innovative plan as a way to help welcome people to the area. Leanne moved to Marlborough from Auckland two years ago and said she initially struggled to find friends and feel part of the community. “Coming from Auckland I thought people would open their doors and that there would be neighbours calling round with cake. I expected people to come to me and, of course, it wasn’t like that. I did get lonely. “I hope to save newcomers having to wait as long as I did to feel part of it all. I would like to welcome them to the town.”Free platters of sandwiches, cakes and other goodies will be on offer, for the people, while there will be special handmade yoghurt and banana treats for the dogs. The morning teas will take place in the covered area at the back of the popular café beside the railway station off Grove Rd.Leanne said she was happy to devote both her time and effort into giving back to the community and felt the venture was a great fit with the SPCA.“V olunteering is such an amazing thing to do and it changed things for me completely, and I met some amazi ng people with similar interests.”SPCA Op Shop manager Karina Greenall, originally from the United Kingdom, said she also wanted to help. “I can give advice on how to resettle pets, the best parks to go to , where the best walks are and where the vet centers are in town.” There will be volunteering opportunities too for people where they can help out and hopefully make friends too.”28. How will Marlborough SPCA and the Railway Café help new pets?A. By offering morning teas.B. By giving advice to them.C. By communication with them.D. By providing accommodation to them.29. What was Leanne’s plan originally intended for?A. Saving animals.B. Helping newcomers.C. Making more friends.D. Expanding her business.30. What had Leanne expected when she first came to Marlborough?A. To be left alone.B. To struggle for a living.C. To be invited to dinner.D. To feel part of the community.31. What can be learnt about SPCA Op Shop manager Karina Greenall?A. She often misses the United Kingdom.B. She takes interest in the Railway Café.C. She is enthusiastic about resettling pets.D. She has organized the voluntary events.DIn 1917 Orville Wright predicted that "the aeroplane will help peace in many ways –in particular I think it will have a ten dency to make war impossible.” Earlier in 1904, American journalist John Walker declared, “As a peace machine, the value of the aeroplane to the world will be beyond computation.” This wasn’t the first grand promise of technology. In that same year Jules V erne announced, “The submarine(潜艇)may be the cause of bringing battle to a stoppage.”Alfred Nobel, sincerely believe his dynamite(火药) would be a war obstacle: “My dynamite will sooner lead to peace than a thousand world conventions(公约).” Similarly, when H iran Maxim, inventor of the machine gun, was asked in 1893, “Will this gun not make war more terrible?” he answered, “No, it will make war impossible.” Gugliemo Mareconi, inventor of the radio, told the world in 1912. “The coming of the wireless time will make war impossible, because it will make war ridiculous.” General James Harbord, chairman of the board of RCA in 1925, believed, “Radio will serve to make the concept of Peace on Earth, Good Will Toward Men a reality.”David Nye, a historian of technology, adds to the list of inventions imagined as abolishing war forever and leading to universal peace the hot-air balloon, poison gas, land mines and laser guns.It is not that all these inventions are without benefits—even benefits toward democracy. Rather, it’s the case that each new technology creates more problems than it solves. “Problems are the answers to solutions,” says Brian Arthur.Most of the new problems in the world are problems created by previous technology. These problems are nearly invisible to us. Every year 1.2 million people die in automobile accidents. The technological transportation system kills more people than cancer. Global warming, environmental poisons, nuclear terrorism, and species loss, are only a few of the many other serious problems troubling people.If we embrace(拥抱) technology we need to face its costs.32. What will new inventions do according to the first two paragraphs?A. They will increase wars.B. They will lead to peace.C. They will serve people.D. They will break conventions.33. What does the author list so many inventions?A. To show people’s creativity.B. To appreciate their benefits.C. To contradict the original ideas.D. To prove grand promises.35. What does the author hope to tell us about new technology through the text?A. It will experience many tests.B. It will bring about huge costs in the world.C. It provides answers to many problems.D. It presents more problems than it solves.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

Study the passage carefully and write the missing paragraph in about 100 words. Make sure that your tone and diction are in unity with the passage provided.The Benefits of Regular ExerciseIn recent years, many people have become increasingly aware of the need for physical fitness. Almost everywhere people turn, whether to a news stall or television, advice for improving health bombards them. Although much of this advice is for commercial purposes, some of it, especially that advocating a regular exercise program, deserves serious attention. Such a program, if consisting of exercise at least thirty minutes three times a week, provides numerous benefits. Regular exercise releases tension, improves appearance, and increases stamina （耐力）The first of these benefits, the release of tension, is immediate. Tension builds in the body because of stress, anxiety, or fear. Doctors agree that participating in an active sport such as tennis or volleyball for thirty minutes eases tension. If a person swims, jogs or fides a bicycle for half that time, he would sleep better at night and have a better mood the next day. In addition, after the relief of tension, minor irritations and frustrations should be less troubling. For example, if one is upset by the day's work or by a traffic jam, he may rush home, argue with the family, and eat excessively. Taking about thirty minutes to release frustrations through physical exercise could help him to avoid this behavior. Planned physical exercise, therefore, can eliminate or at least control tension.In addition to an improved appearance, increased physical strength produces stamina. A stronger, healthier body is obviously more capable of working harder and, in fact, of withstanding normal fatigue. A worker who exercises should be able to complete a forty-hour week and still retain enough energy for shopping and housework. Similarly, a student who goes to school, keeps house and perhaps works part time should accomplish tasks more efficiently. Equally important, this stamina helps to keep off illnesses such as colds and influenza. Altogether, improved endurance is one of the most important benefits of a regular exercise program.Although easy solutions to weight-losing and body-shaping flood the media, actually acquiring these benefits is not easy. The rewards, however, are fully worth the effort. An established exercise program makes a person feel relaxed, look good, and have adequate strength for strenuous as well as routine activities.IL Write an outline.Read the following passage carefully and compose a n sentence outline** for it.How to Raise a Moral RobotIn the future, humans will create more intelligent and more moral robots than those portrayed in the recent film Chappie.What the film touches on is perhaps the greatest challenge of raising moral robots. The toughest part is how to safely integrate robots into society. As is known, humans are the most powerful learning machines onEarth. If robots are to be part of human society, they have to become at least second best at learning. Is it possible for humans to produce moral robot learners?More and more scientists of artificial intelligence (Al) agree that true intelligence comes from learning, notjust from programming. With a growing number of machine learning approaches available, robots can take in new information. They turn that information into instructions and learn from feedback to adjust actions in theever-changing environments.Robot learning, however, must have limits. If scientists succeed in building sophisticated robots that can learn, they will have to establish limits to how robots learn. If robots are allowed to learn anything they can and want, they may become brutal bullies. Therefore, programmers must set rules and laws that prohibit them from learning anything socially undesirable.One approach to that problem is democratic robot learning. Programmers write a small number of fundamental norms into the robot, and let it learn the remaining ones. These fundamental norms will include prevention of harm, especially to humans, but also politeness and respect. The norms will then be translated into behavior, for example, what it means to be polite in a particular context. They also define conditions under which one fundamental norm can replace another. It's OK, for instance, to drop politeness when a robot tries to save someone from harm.Democratic robot learning would also guide a robot in dealing with contradictory teachers. Say one person tries to teach the robot to share, and another tries to teach it to steal. In that case, the robot should ask the whole community which teacher it should listen to. After all, the norms and morals of a community are typically held by the majority of members in that community.This approach would also prevent robots from learning something evil in human society. Humans are generally cooperative and kind towards those whom they consider part of their group, but they can become wicked and cruel towards those outside their group. If robots learn such hostile sentiments and evil actions, they may very well become a threat to humanity. Take robots in some science-fiction films for example. They get out of human control, turn their human masters into slaves, and even kill them. If those horrible scenes come into reality, it would be a disaster to mankind.Somehow, society w川have to protect robots from continuing dark human heritage. If successful, robots willbe helpful to humanity as a whole lending a hand in production, health care, education and elder care. That is whatAl scientists should pursue, and those are the moral robots human society should raise.III.

In your writing, give a title, underline your thesis and number your paragraphs.Who have higher value: stars or professionals?①Nowadays, athletes and movie stars in' some society make more money more quicklythan professionals such as doctors, nurses and school teachers. Though this seems no fair to many people, there are good reasons for such phenomenon. By laws of market, the higher demand for certain goods or services, the higher value such-goods or services would have. Movie stars or famous athletes entertain a nation or even the whole world.They satisfy the needs of very large populations with greater efficiency than medical professionals or teachers, who usually work for one hospital or school. As a result, stars are able to create greater value for their employers and deserve higher income.②However, I think that the real value of many stars is superficial. Unlike other professionals,stars are made to cater the constantly changing pop culture. No matter how popular they are now, the stars would be forgotten as time goes by. Professionals like doctors and teachers create the true value for their society. Their experience and knowledge drive our society forward. By contrast, stars create demand and make their fortune mainly by making news to attract attention.③Due to the powerful influences of show business, many young people are more interestedin getting famous and rich overnight than working hard in more worthy professions. Such ideas and action would make young people throw away their ambition to become good doctors or lawyers.④To conclude, the value of stars is more superficial and does not form the real valve of asociety. The true value of our world is created by people with real knowledge and skills like doctors and teachers. We should not encourage young people to waste time and money being stars instead of working hard to be someone more useful to their society.Should International Aid Be Given to the Poor Countries?With the process of economic globalization, many countries and regions have strengthened cooperation and liaison in the fields of industry, agriculture, trade and finance. In order to dedicate to the mutual development, many developed countries spare no effort to help the poor countries by means of technological, medical and financial aid,which, to my mind, is quite essential to the development of the world.Firstly, aids from developed countries optimize people's living standard and eradicate poverty in the poor countries. Due to the backwardness of science and technology, people in some undeveloped countries and regions such as Africa, Latin America and Asia suffer a great deal from poverty, hunger and the scarce of water.International aids from developed countries have improved their living environment and helped them with the development of agriculture, industry and economy.Secondly, international aids give good medical care and help promote hygienic condition inthe poor countries. Malaria, cholera and smallpox were once severe threats to people's health. With the help of the World Health Organization and some developed countries, these diseases have been eliminated soon and the residents in the infected areas survived these deadly diseases, which would have devoured millions of lives without international aid."Finally, aids to-the undeveloped countries in turn-benefit the donators. Due to the limitation of natural and human resources, the production cost rises sharply in the developed countries. With a view to reducing cost, many countries transferred their assembly lines and production bases to the developing countries, which not only solves the problem of low rate of employment in the developing countries but also make full use of the local resources.Nevertheless, some countries are showing great concern about tie mal-expense of their aid aroused by bureaucracy and corruption of some governments. Therefore, the governments should take effective measures to utilize international aids reasonably and prevent abuse. Only with the help of international aids, can our world develop more quickly and prosperously.201001III. Compose an essay (60 points)Some people think that they can learn better by themselves than with a teacher. Others think that it is always better to have a teacher. Which view do you agree with? Write an essay of about 300 words discussing this issue with the title “Are Teachers Necessary in the Process of Learning?”Are Teachers Necessary in the Process of Learning?Some people think that they can learn better by themselves than with a teacher.Others Thing that it is always better to have a teacher, in my opinion, most of us can learn how to do simple things on our own with just a set of instructions. However, to learn things more complex, it is best to have a teacher.To begin with, teachers bring with them varied and useful backgrounds. They have been trained to teach individuals in different ways depending on their styles. For instance, some students learn better by discussing a, topic. Others learn more by writing about it,Teachers can help students learn in the way that is best for each student. A textbook or a manual can only give you one way of learning things. What's more，they are only helpful if you are able to understand them. A good teacher can adapt her teaching to your needs.Next，teachers，help you focus on what you are learning. If you are learning by yourself，it is easy to become distracted，and go on to other activities. Teachers keep your attention on the subject. They also approach a subject logically，taking it one step at a time，.On your own，it is tempting to skip parts of the learning process you think you do not need. That can hinder your ability to really understand the subject.Finally，learning a subject，on your own is a very narrow way of learning. You can only use the information you get from the textbook. With a teacher, you get the information in the written materials as well as the teacher's own knowledge of the topic.Teachers can also provide extra materials to broaden the scope of what you are learning.There is nothing wrong with studying on your own，and a teacher can always benefit from quiet study. For the best possible learning，though, a good teacher is the biggest help you can have.201101III. Compose an essay (60 points)Some people say that computers have made life easier and more convenient.Other people say that computers have made life more complex and stressful. What is your opinion?Write an essay of about 300 words discussing this issue with the title given.Do Computers Make Our Life Easier?Do Computers Make Our Life Easier?Some people say that the invention of computers is one of the greatest humankind's6inventions. However, other people think that computers make their life more stressful.I agree with those people who think that computers have brought many benefits and playg very important role in our modern life.First of all, every company nowadays uses a computer to store its data and make different kinds of operations. It is very difficult to imagine life without computers. A company would have to store millions of papers and documents. Moreover, a customer would have to wait hours to check his balance or get a piece of information about his transactions at his bank, while an employee was looking through those papers. Another important aspect of this is that people are able to type all their information, make corrections, print or send documents using computers. It makes life much easier. One can spend the rest of the time watching TV with his family of working on something new.Second of all, computers provided a great means of communication-the Internet. I think it is the easiest and cheapest way to get in touch with relatives, friends, business colleagues, etc. Nowadays the world becomes smaller and smaller. When I was a littlechild, I could not imagine that it would be possible to communicate with people from all around the world in such an easy way. A person can get latest news, become friends with someone from another country, find his old friends, and ask for a piece of advice, etc.Finally, in addition to these practical benefits people can shop without leaving their house. They just use an Internet access, a computer and their cards to make a payment.It is kind of difficult to imagine that a few years ago people had to spend their time in lines buying tickets. Now, a person can choose a destination, company, date and time and get tickets delivered to his door. I think it is amazing.To sum up, I believe that computers make our lives easier. They change our attitude towards life. I think with the invention of computers people become closer and friendlier.201201III. Compose an essay (60 points)Studying the English language in an English-speaking country is the best but not the only way. Do you agree or disagree with this statement?Write an essay of about 300 words expressing your views on the statement with the title given.Studying English Abroad: The Best but Not the Only Way Studying English Abroad: The Best but Not the Only WayStudying a language in a country where it is widely spoken has many advantages. It is, therefore, a good idea to study English in a country such as Britain. However, I believe it is not the only way to learn the language.In the first place, most students in non-English-speaking countries learn English at secondary school, and sometimes at university nowadays. Although their spoken English is not usually of a very high standard, their knowledge of grammar is often quite advanced.This is certainly useful when students come to an English-speaking country to perfect the language.Secondly, studying the basis of English at secondary school is less stressful than leaning the language overseas. This is because students living at home do not have to worry about problems such as finding accommodation, paying for their study and living costs, and trying to survive in a foreign country where day to day living causes much stress.However, there are obvious advantages of leaning English in Britain. Every day there are opportunities to practice listening to and speaking with British people. Also, students can experience the culture firsthand, which is a great help when trying to understand the language.This is especially true if they choose to live with a British family, like exchange students, for example. Furthermore, if students attend a language school full-time, the teachers will be native speakers. In this case, not only will students' speaking and listening skills improve, but attention can be given to developing reading and writing skills as well.In general, even though it is preferable to study English in an English-speaking country, a reasonable level of English can be achieved in one's own country, if a student is gifted and dedicated to study.201301Ⅲ. Compose an essay (60 points)Academic dishonesty in all levels of education has been a hotly debated topic in the previous decade. Students cheat in examinations and papers; even some famous professors cheat in their academic works. What do you think are the major causes of academic dishonesty?Write an essay of about 300 words expressing your views with the title given, What Has Caused Academic Dishonesty?What Has Caused Academic Dishonesty?Academic dishonesty has become one of the most serious problems in educational circles.If you look up an academic paper on some particular topic with a search engine, the results may turn out to be astonishing for their similarity. Many educators and scientists have been found to cheat in their academic works. As a college student, I believe that the problem is induced by two major factors.First and foremost, academic achievements have become the primary standards for promotion or salary raise. Many academic professionals have been forced to cheat by the desire for a higher title of a technical post or a more comfortable life. Some universities also require their staff or students to make certain quantified amounts of achievements, such as papers or works, to get a post or to graduate. This has led to a dilemma: universities need academic achievements in order to be competitive. However, dishonesty is sometimes forced by such requirements and will definitely do harm to the reputation of universities.Second, the current penalties for academic dishonesty are still too tolerant. Unless there are serious consequences from the dishonesty, cheating is seldom punished. To pursue the largest benefits at the lowest costs is one of the basic instincts of human beings.Thus, high return and low risk have encouraged the occurrence of academic dishonesty and damaged the interests of the owners of real academic achievements. Many people participate in academic dishonesty for better living conditions and social status. And these successful examples will be followed by more people and the consequences will be more severe.All in all, academic dishonesty in China has become so serious that we cannot ignore it. Many factors have contributed to this phenomenon and we have to take measures to solve this problem right away.。
2017年4月英语二作文答案英文回答：Task 1。
In our rapidly changing world, the way we learn has evolved considerably. While traditional face-to-face classrooms have their merits, online learning has emerged as a viable and increasingly popular alternative, offering numerous advantages that can enhance the learning experience.One of the key benefits of online learning is its flexibility. Students can access course materials and complete assignments at their own pace, allowing them to balance their studies with other commitments such as work or family responsibilities. Moreover, learners can choose from a wider range of courses and programs that may not be available in their local area, expanding their educational opportunities.Online learning also fosters self-directed learning and independence. Students are responsible for managing their own time and setting their own learning goals, developing essential skills for success in the 21st century workplace. Additionally, the interactive nature of many online courses facilitates peer-to-peer learning and collaboration, creating a rich and supportive learning environment.Despite these advantages, there are some challenges associated with online learning. Lack of face-to-face interaction can pose a barrier to communication andrapport-building between students and instructors. Furthermore, students who are not self-disciplined or lack technological proficiency may struggle to succeed in an online learning environment.Task 2。

Reading comprehensionSection APassage one（1）When I was a young girl living in Ireland, I was always pleased when it rained, because that meant I could go treasure hunting. What’ sthe connection between a wet day and a search for buried treasure? Well, it’ s quite simple. Ireland, as some of you may already know, is the home of Leprechauns –little men who possess magic powers and, perhaps more interestingly, pots of gold.（2） Now, although Leprechauns are interesting characters, I have to admit that I was moreintrigued by the stories of their treasure hoard. This, as all of Ireland knows, they hide at the end ofthe rainbow. Leprechauns can be fearsome folk but if you can discover the end of the rainbow, theyhave to unwillingly surrender their gold to you. So whenever it rained, I would look up in the sky andfollow the curve of the rainbow to see where it ended. I never did unearth any treasure,but I did spend many happy, showery days dreaming of what I could do with the fortune if Ifound it.（3） As I got older, and started working, rainy days came to be just another nuisance and mychildhood dreams of finding treasure faded. But for some people the dream of striking it lucky neverfades, and for a fortunate few, the dream even comes true! Such is the case of Mel Fisher. Hisdream of finding treasure also began in childhood, while reading the great literature classics“ Treasure Island” and“ Moby Dick” . However, unlike myself, he chased his dream and in the end managed to become one of the most famous professional treasure hunters of all time, and for goodreason. In 1985, he fished up the priceless cargo of the sunken Spanish ship Atocha, which nettedhim an incredible $400 million dollars!（4） After the ship sank in 1622 off the coast of Florida, its murky waters became a treasure” . The aptly trove of precious stones, gold bars and silver coins known as “ pieces-namedofeight Fisher, who rana commercial salvaging operation, had been trying to locate the underwater treasure for over 16 yearswhen he finally hit the jackpot! His dreams had come true but findingand keeping the treasure wasn’allt plain sailing. After battling with hostile conditions at sea, Fisherthen had to battle in the courts. In fact, the State of Florida took Fisher to court overownership of the find and the Federal government soon followed suit. After more than 200 hearings,Fisher agreed to donate 20% of his yearly findings for public display, and so now thereis a museum in Florida which displays hundreds of the objects which were salvaged from the Atocha.（5） This true story seems like a modern-day fairytale: a man pursues his dream throughadversity and in the end, he triumphs over the difficulties - they all live happily ever after, right? Well,not exactly. Archaeologists object to the fact that with commercial salvaging operations likeFisher ’thes, objects are sold and dispersed and UNESCO are worried about protecting ourunderwater heritage from what it describes a s “ pillaging”.（6） The counter-argument is that in professional, well- run operations such as Fisher ’s,each piece is accurately and minutely recorded and that it is this information which is more importantthan the actual object, and that such operations help increase our wealth of archaeological knowledge. Indeed, as in Fisher’case, they make history more accessible to people through museum donations and information on web sites.（7） The distinction of whether these treasure hunters are salvaging or pillaging our underwater heritage may not be clear, but what is clear is that treasure hunting is not just innocent childanymore but profitable big business. I have learnt that the end of the rainbow is beyond my reach, but in consolation, with just a click of the mouse, I too can have a share in the riches that the Atocha has revealed. As Friedrich Nietzsche so wisely said:“ Our treasure lies in the beehive ofour knowledge.”41.In Para.4, the phrase “hit the jackpot ”means ______according to thetext. A. discovered the jackpot.B. found the treasureC. broke one of the objectsD. ran a salvaging operation42.It can be concluded from Paras. 5 and 6 that _________.A. people hold entirely different views on the issueB. UNESCO ’s view is different from archaeologists ’C. all salvaging operations should be prohibitedD. attention should be paid to the find ’s educational value43. How did the author feel about the treasure from the Atocha (Para. 7)?A. She was unconcerned about where the treasure came fromB. She was sad that she was unable to discover and salvage treasure.C. She was angry that treasure hunters were pillaging heritage.D. She was glad that people can have a chance to see the treasure.Passage two（1） PAUL was dissatisfied with himself and with everything. The deepest of his love belongedto his mother. When he felt he had hurt her, or wounded his love for her, he could not bear it. Now it was spring, and there was battle between him and Miriam. This year he had a good deal against her. She was vaguely aware of it. The old feelingthat she was to be a sacrifice to this love, whichshe had had when she prayed, was mingled in all her emotions. She did not at the bottom believe she ever would have him. She did not believe in herself primarily: doubted whether she could ever be what he would demand of her. Certainly she never saw herself living happily through a lifetimewith him. She saw tragedy, sorrow, and sacrifice ahead. And in sacrifice she was proud, in renunciation she was strong, for she did not trust herself to support everyday life. She was prepared for the big things and the deep things, like tragedy. It was the sufficiency of the smallday-life she could not trust.（2） The Easter holidays began happily. Paul was his own frank self. Yet she felt it would go wrong. On the Sunday afternoon she stood at her bedroom window, looking across at the oak-trees of the wood, in whose branches a twilight was tangled, below the bright sky of the afternoon.Grey-green rosettes of honeysuckle leaves hung before the window, some already, she fancied, showing bud. It was spring, which she loved and dreaded.（3）Hearing the clack of the gate she stood in suspense. It was a bright grey day. Paul came into the yard with his bicycle, which glittered as he walked. Usually he rang his bell and laughed towards the house. To-day he walked with shut lips and cold, cruel bearing, that had something ofa slouch and a sneer in it. She knew him well by now, and could tell from that keen-looking, aloofyoung body of his what was happening inside him. There was a cold correctness in the way he puthis bicycle in its place, that made her heart sink.（4）She came downstairs nervously. She was wearing a new net blouse that she thought became her. It had a high collar with a tiny ruff, making her, she thought, look wonderfully a woman, and dignified. At twenty she was full-breasted and luxuriously formed. Her face was still like a softrich mask, unchangeable. But her eyes, once lifted, were wonderful. She was afraid of him.He would notice her new blouse.（5） He, being in a hard, ironical mood, was entertaining the family to a description of a service given in the Primitive Methodist Chapel. He sat at the head of the table, his mobile face, with theeyes that could be so beautiful, shining with tenderness or dancing with laughter, now taking onone expression and then another, in imitation of various people he was mocking. His mockeryalways hurt her; it was too near the reality. He was too clever and cruel. She felt that when hiseyes were like this, hard with mocking hate, he would spare neither himself nor anybody else. ButMrs. Leivers was wiping her eyes with laughter, and Mr. Leivers, just awake from his Sunday nap,was rubbing his head in amusement. The three brothers sat with ruffled, sleepy appearance in theirshirt-sleeves, giving a guffaw from time to time. The whole family loved a "take-off" morethan anything.44.It can be learned from the beginning that Mariam’s attitude toward love between her and Paulis ________.A. indifferentB. desperateC. pessimisticD. ambiguous45.The narration in Para. 3 tells us that Miriam had all the following feelings except _______.A. delightB. expectationC. uncertaintyD. forebearing46.Which of the following statements is correct about the family ’s response to Paul’s mockery?A. Only the parents found it entertaining.B. Every member except Marriam was amusedC. The brothers found it hard to appreciate.D. Mariam also thought it was amusingPassage three（ 1） I ’ve written this article and you’re reading it. So we are members of the same club. We’reboth literate –we can read and write. And we both probably feel that literacy is essential to our lives.But millions of people all over the world are illiterate. Even in industrialised western countries, suchas the UK and the USA, approximately 20% of the population have 'low literacy levels'. But whatexactly does that mean?（2） My parents both left school at 14. They could read and write, but except for a quick look atthe daily newspaper, reading and writing didn't play a big part in their lives. There were very fewbooks in the house. My mother was amazed because the woman who lived next door always wrotea list of what she needed before she went to the supermarket. Why couldn't she remember? Welaughed about that for weeks. Our family didn't write lists! And when I was only 14 years old myfather gave me an important letter that he'd written to the bank and asked me to check it forgrammar and spelling mistakes. And there were quite a lot. He never usually wrote letters or postcards or even Christmas cards. So when he had to write he wasn't comfortable or confident. Does that mean that my father had a 'low level of literacy'?I don't think so.（ 3） There are lots of different definitions of literacy. Some experts define it as having the reading and writing skills that you need to be independent in your everyday life. So, for example, if you can read instructions, write a cheque, fill in a form, –anything that you need to do in everyday life –then you are 'functionally literate'.（4） Other people say that you are illiterate if you think that you are illiterate. In other words, if you feel that you can't read or write as well as you would like to.（5） If you live in a society where most people are literate then you will feel ashamed or embarrassed and avoid situations in which you have to read or write. The father of a friend of mine finally admitted to his family that he couldn't read when he was 45 years old. He bought the newspaper every day and pretended to read it - and believe it or not, his family had no idea.（6） We often forget that writing is a recent invention. Many years ago, the word 'literate' meant being able to communicate well in speaking, in other words what we now call 'articulate'. Story telling was an important activity in the past and still is today in some societies. Reading was oftena co-operative activity –someone would read aloud to a group, often from a religious text such as the Koran or the Bible.（7） Only a hundred years ago, in the United States, you were considered to be literate if you could sign your name to a piece of paper. It was an important skill. You were not allowed to vote if you couldn't sign the voting register, so literacy was connected with political rights, and many people were excluded from the democratic process.（8） Nowadays we see reading and writing as being connected, but that wasn't so in the past. Many people could read, but not write. Writing was a skilled profession. If you neededsomething written then you paid an expert to write it for you.（9） And of course, rich and important people have always employed people to write things for them. Important company bosses dictated letters to their secretaries or personal assistants. And now with new computer software you can dictate directly to your computer.（10） Being illiterate can have a big effect on people's lives. For example, a study in the UK showed that people who write and spell badly are seen as careless, immature and unreliable, andoften unintelligent. So it is more difficult for them to find jobs, even when reading and writing are not necessary for the work.（11）World-wide statistics show that literacy problems are associated with poverty and a lack of political power. More women than men are illiterate. Illiterate people have worse health, bigger families and are more likely to go to prison. So literacy campaigns must be a good thing. But don't forget that an illiterate person, or someone with a low level of literacy, isn't necessarily stupid or ignorant –and may not be unhappy at all. Knowledge and wisdom isn't only found in writing.47.Why does the author give two examples in Para 2?A. To show that literacy is interpreted in different ways.B. To show that Father was more literate than Mother.C. To indicate how important reading and writing are.D.To compare the level of literacy between neighbours.48.According to the author, the following are some of the defining features of literacyEXCETT________.A. psyhchologicalB. functionalC. socialD. independent49.Which of the following statements about reading and writing is CORRECT?A. Reading and writing have always been regarded as equally difficult.B. People had to read and write well in order to be allowed to vote.C.

Effects of illiteracy on women’s career development.Section B. Short answer questions.

Thus,if we cannot slow donw our pace,there will definitely be an awkward silence between parents and us,which is not rare now.As a resut,young people should talk more with parents to share our feelings and to understand cach other better.Everyone wants loving parents who are open and supportive.Only through frequent communication with them,can we establish such a harmonious relationship.5)Directions:For this part,you are allowed30minutes to write a short essay on how to best handle the relationship between teachers and students.You should write at least120words but no more than180words.Teacher-student Relationship Is Never ComplexThe relationship between teachers and students has been hotly discussed in recent years in China for more attention has been paid to education.Today I would like to share some tips on how to get along well with teachers from students’perspective.First and foremost,leave a good first impression on your teacher.As the saying goes,well begun is half done.A good first impression is important for teachers to remember your name among your fellow students.Secondly,study hard and be active in class.A student who loves study can definitely impress teachers deeply.Finally, keep contact with your teacher after.To conclude,teacher-student relationship is never complex if you could have an excellent academic performance,be cooperative in calss or make friends with your teacher.6)Directions:For this part,you are allowed30minutes to write a short essay on how to best handle the relationship between doctors and patients.You should write at least120words but no more than180words.Mutual Understanding Is Most ImportantWhen we talk about the relationship between doctors and patients,what comes into my mind is generally negative news.However,I believe there is a way for doctors and patients to get along harmoniously--that is mutual understanding.One the one hand,patients are helpless and worried when they go to hospital.So doctor’s attitude or response is critically important for them and their family.On the other hand,doctors have to face so many patients every day that they even have no time to take a rest.Such a high intensity of work could drive a man crazy.Thus,if they can stand in each other’s shoes,most problems could be solved.Otherwise,a doctor’s brief conlusion about the condition of patients might be regarded as could blood and result in conflicts.Nowdays,much effort has been made to ease the tension of doctor-patient relationship.But I think the most effective one is mutual understanding and trust.。
2017年英语四级作文真题2017年英语四级作文真题1:整容1.近年来，整容现象屡见不鲜2.出现这一现象的原因3.我对这一现象的看法和建议On Cosmetic SurgeriesIn recent years,there have appeared more and more artificialbeauties around us.Not only those actresses but also many ordinary women are crazy about cosmetic surgeries.They fail to resist the temptation of becoming more beautiful by changing some parts of their bodies within a few hours’ surgery.What are responsible for the prevalence of cosmetic surgeries? Firstly,thanks to the development of shaping techniques,the chances of successful surgeries have increased greatly,which makes more people begin to believe and accept cosmeticsurgeries.Secondly, with the improvement of living standard,people have more money to satisfy their nature of pursuing beauty.From my point of view,cosmetic surgeries have their necessity of existence in modern society.They do help some people build confidence by giving them a beautiful face or figure. However,cosmetic surgeries cannot bring permanent beauty and might be dangerous.Besides,I think one’s inner beauty is moreimportant.Therefore,I suggest that people should think twice before deciding to accept cosmetic surgeries.2017年英语四级作文真题2:自私和贪婪Directions: For this part,you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay commenting on the remark “"Nowadays People Are Selfish and Greedy."Do You Agree or Disagree with This Point of View?”. You may cite some examples to support your view. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.Selfish and GreedyThere is no doubt that some people are selfish and greedy. For example,some merchants sell their fake commodities at the market place for more profit. They are rich and want to be richer. There are also government officials who sell people's trust. Senior officials who take bribes by selling the power in their hands are not a few. Those people believe in the precept "Everyone for himself and the devil take the hind most."However, the majority of people are neither selfish nor greedy. They contribute much and ask for little. Countless examples can be found around us, the PLA soldiers who sacrificed themselves for savingpeople's lives in fighting the disastrous floods and the warriors in white who risked their lives to save SARS victims being two of the most typical contrast to the selfish and corrupt officialthey are heroes, who set up glorious images for us.The idea that nowadays people are selfish and greedy is probably attributed to the influence of the mass media which tend to over exaggerate the negative aspects of life. Many newspapers, particularly many local evening papers, and TV films play up nastiness by reporting and showing too much about violence and sex. A lot of books, too, portray selfishness and greed to seek sensational effect and economic profit. I wonder whether they are selfish and greedy, too?2017年英语四级作文真题3:知识之美Directions: For this part,you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay commenting on thesaying "The beautiful thing about learning is that nobody can take that away from you.You can cite examples to illustrate the beauty and features of knowledge. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.The Beauty of KnowledgePraise of knowledge has never come to an end since ancient times. Apparently, knowledge is a treasure that everybody volunteers to possess and much of success could be attributed to it directly or indirectly.As far as I am concerned, the beauty of knowledge can be explainedin three aspects.Firstly, knowledge is open to all human beings. People can learn whatever they wish in one way or another. Secondly, knowledge learnt can be reflected in one's later life, so that one knows how to savor the present moment in peaceful times and how to deal with problems in difficult times. Last but not least, one of the most prominent featuresof knowledge is that one carries it throughout his life. Even if one loses a large fortune, he will never be a beggar if he already knows how to make money.To sum up, knowledge is of great importance in one's lifetime.It is advisable that one should learn the beauty of knowledge and enjoy the process of learning.2017年英语四级作文真题4:少儿真人秀Directions: For this part,you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on the topic Children’s participation in reality shows. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.Children’s participation in reality showsNowadays, it has become a trend for children to participate inreality shows. However, is it really good for them?There are two sides for each coin. On one hand, participating in reality shows is good for children. First, it can make children more courageous and more confident. Second, some shows such as outdoor shows can make children more independent. For example,in some shows, children are required to accomplish some taskswithout their parents accompanying them. That is a good way to train the children.On the other hand, children’s participation in reality shows may cause some disadvantages to them. For instance, children may become vainglorious if they win some fame from the shows. They may tend to paymore attention to undeserved reputation instead of studying hard. They may overlook the importance of working hard.As a result, you really need to think carefully before you take your children to reality shows. I personally feel that these shows make the children grow up too fast. Why not just let them be children?2017年英语四级作文真题5:生活的意义与目的Directions: Forthis part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay commentingon the saying "The meaning of life is to find your gift, the purpose of life is to give it away.You can cite examples to illustrate your point of view. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.The Meaning and Purpose of LifeEveryone may encounter a scene when he or she wonders what the meaning and purpose of life is. Answers to this question vary from person to person. As for me, I agree with the view that the meaning of life is to discover your gift and the purpose of life is to make the best of it.On one hand, one's gift could be the source of his inner happiness, providing spiritual impetus and correct orientation. Take the world-renowned Chinese pianist Lang Lang as an example. His gift was noticed before he was 3 years old, which laid the foundation of his glorious life. On the other hand, proper use of talent helps people to realize their value in a positive way, thus making contribution to the society as a whole. For instance, Isaac Newton made a universallyamazing discovery by digging into his gift and finding the Newton's law of gravitation.In conclusion, let's search for our true gift and utilize it to the fullest to achieve a happy and valuable life.【延伸阅读】英语四级作文常用转折词汇一、文章及段落起始常用的过渡词语to begin with (首先); generally speaking (总体上讲); first of all (第一，首先); in the first place (首先)二、文章及段落结尾常用的过渡词语therefore, thus (因此); in conclusion (最后); in brief, in anutshell(简言之); to sum up (总而言之); in a word (总之)三、常用表示先后次序的过渡词语first (第一);second (第二);next (其次，然后); eventually (最后，最终)since then (自此以后); afterward (以后，随后); meanwhile (同时) therefore (因而); immediately (立刻);finally (最后，最终)四、常用表示因果关系的过渡词语Accordingly (于是); for this reason (由于这个原因); as a result of (由……的结果); in this way (这样); consequently (结果，因此); due to(由于……);Therefore (因而); because of (因为); thus (这样)五、常用表示比较和对比的过渡词语In contrast with (和……成对照); similarly (同样);whereas (然而); on the contrary (相反); different from (与……不同);likewise (同样); equally important (同样重要); on the other hand (另一方面)六、常用表示举例的过渡词语A case in point (恰当的例子);for example (举例);namely/that is (即，这就是说); for instance (举例)七、常用表示强调的过渡词语Furthermore (此外);moreover (而且); besides (此外);in fact (实际上);Also (而且，也); indeed (的确); again (另外，还); in particular (尤其，特别); naturally (当然，自然，必然)。
英语写作 2017 年 4 月试题真题及答案（00603）1、The Benefits of Regular ExerciseIn recent years, many people have become increasingly aware of the need for physical fitness. Almost everywhere people turn, whether to a news stall or television, advice for improving health bombards them. Although much of this advice is for commercial purposes, some of it, especially that advocating a regular exercise program, deserves serious attention. Such a program, if consisting of exercise at least thirty minutes three times a week, provides numerous benefits. Regular exercise releases tension, improves appearance, and increases stamina (耐力).The first of these benefits, the release of tension, is immediate. Tension builds in the body because of stress, anxiety, or fear. Doctors agree that participating in an active sport such as tennis or volleyball for thirty minutes eases tension. If a person swims, jogs or rides a bicycle for half that time, he would sleep better at night and have a better mood the next day. In addition, after the relief of tension, minor irritations and frustrations should be less troubling. For example, if one is upset by the day’s work or by a traffic jam, he may rush home, argue with the family, and eat excessively. Taking about thirty minutes to release frustrations through physical exercise could help him to avoid this behavior. Planned physical exercise, therefore, can eliminate or at least control tension.In addition to an improved appearance, increased physical strength produces stamina. A stronger, healthier body is obviously more capable of working harder in fact, of withstanding normal fatigue. A worker who exercises should be able to complete a forty-hour week and still retain enough energy for shopping and housework. Similarly, a student who goes to school, keeps house and perhaps works part time should accomplish tasks more efficiently. Equally important, this stamina helps to keep off illnesses such as colds and influenza. Altogether, improved endurance is one of the most important benefits of a regular exercise program.Although easy solutions to weight-losing and body-shaping flood the media, actually acquiring these benefits is not easy. The rewards, however, are fully worth the effort. An established exercise program makes a person feel relaxed, look good, and have adequate strengthfor strenuous as well as routine activities.问题内容：试题答案：试题解析：参考答案略【评分参考】1、本部分满分 20 分，按四个档次给分。

1、How to Raise a Moral RobotIn the future, humans will create more intelligent and more moral robots than those portrayed in the recent film Chappie. What the film touches on is perhaps the greatest challenge of raising moral robots. The toughest part is how to safely integrate robots into society. As is known, humans are the most powerful learning machines on Earth. If robots are to be part of human society, they have to become at least second best at learning. Is it possible for humans to produce moral robot learners?More and more scientists of artificial intelligence (AI) agree that true intelligence comes from learning, not just from programming. With a growing number of machine learning approaches available, robots can take in new information. They turn that information into instructions and learn from feedback to adjust actions in the ever- changing environments.Robot learning, however, must have limits. If scientists succeed in building sophisticated robots that can learn, they will have to establish limits to how robots learn. If robots are allowed to learn anything they can and want, they may become brutal bullies. Therefore, programmers must set rules and laws that prohibit them from learning anything socially undesirable.One approach to that problem is democratic robot learning. Programmers write a small number of fundamental norms into the robot, and let it learn the remaining ones. These fundamental norms will include prevention of harm, especially to humans, but also politeness and respect. The norms will then be translated into behavior, forexample, what it means to be polite in a particular context. Theyalso define conditions under which one fundamental norm can replace anot her. It’s OK, for instance, to drop politeness when a robottries to save someone from harm.Democratic robot learning would also guide a robot in dealing with contradictory teachers. Say one person tries to teach the robot to share, and another tries to teach it to steal. In that case, therobot should ask the whole community which teacher it should listen to. After all, the norms and morals of a community are typically held by the majority of members in that community.This approach would also prevent robots from learning something evilin human society. Humans are generally cooperative and kind towards those whom they consider part of their group, but they can become wicked and cruel towards those outside their group. If robots learn such hostile sentiments and evil actions, they may very well become a threat to humanity. Take robots in some science-fiction films for example. They get out of human control, turn their human masters into slaves, and even kill them. If those horrible scenes come into reality, it would be a disaster to mankind.Somehow, society will have to protect robots from continuing dark human heritage. If successful, robots will be helpful to humanity asa whole—lending a hand in production, health care, education andelder care. That is what AI scientists should pursue, and those arethe moral robots human society should raise.问题内容：试题答案：试题解析：参考答案略【评分参考】1、本部分满分 20 分，按四个档次给分。
