六级作文预测

1.作文题目：

出游的方式有很多种，有的人为了节省时间乘坐飞机，有的人选择较为舒适的火车，还有的人情愿乘坐拥挤的巴士。但你们有没有想过自行车旅行也是一种不错的方式呢！

参考范文：

There are many ways of traveling. People may travel by plane if they want to travel far and reach their destination in a shorter time. It is the most comfortable but expensive way. Most people travel by train because it is a less expensive way but the compartments are cramped and stuffy. Bus journey is a cheaper way but it is spent on narrow, bumpy roads which are crowded with traffic. Trips by ship may be the cheapest and most comfortable way but it takes too much time.

I like traveling by bike. I can set out when I like and stop when I like. I can go wherever I like so that I can enjoy delightful spots rarely visited by other travelers. When I feel tired, I sit down by the bike and have a good rest. Besides, I can save much money for tickets and much time in waiting for the train or bus. I can cover more places by riding a bike than going on foot.

Traveling by bike is good to health. It is really a sort of good exercise to strengthen one's muscles and to test one's will. Moreover, it brings no pollution to the air. So it helps to clean the atmosphere.

The Most Important Quality of a College Student（大学生素质）

Many people describe their college years as the best time of their lives. However, not every student achieves the same level of success. This raise the question: What is the most essential quality needed to succeed in one’s higher education

Personally, of all attributes that can contribute to a successful college career, the most important one is effective time management. To begin with, students who know how to manage their time effectively will be able to ensure strong academic performance. While getting high grades in by no means the only aspect of success for undergraduates, students who fail in most or all of their courses could hardly be considered successful. In addition, time-management consciousness can enable students to become more socially successful. University is not just an academic experience, but also a social one. Students who fail to budget their time and, in turn, fall behind in their studies, will have fewer opportunities to hang out with friends and classmates.

For the above reasons, I believe that time management is the most important quality for a college students.

【译文】

大学生最重要的素质

很多人将他们的大学时代描述为生活中最美好的时光。不过，并不是每个学生都能取得同样的成功。这也提出了一个问题：大学生要在高等教育中取得成功最重要的素质是什么 我认为，在可以促成大学生活成功的品质中，最重要的是有效的时间管理。首先，那些知道如何有效管理时间的学生也能够保证较高的学业成绩。虽然，对于大学生来说，高分并不是大学成功的唯一方面，但那些大多数科目或者全部考试不及格的学生几乎也不会被认为是成功的。另外，具有时间管理意识也能促进学生在社交方面更加成功。大学不仅是学业经历，也是社会体验。那些没有合理安排时间的学生在学习上也会被落下，也就没什么机会跟他们的朋友和同学交往。

基于以上原因，我认为时间管理技能是大学生最重要的素质。

【写作思路】

首段从大学生活叹气，随后通过一问一答形式引出全文论点：大学生最重要的素质是有效管理时间。下文阐释了两点原因：1. 有效地时间管理能保证较高的学业成绩;2. 能拥有积极的社交生活。末端再次强调观点。

2. raise the question 提出问题

3. higher education 高等教育(注意不是high education 高中教育)

4. attributes 同义替换qualities 品性

5. contribute to 促成

6. by no means 决不

In the picture above, a child flies from one cage to the other cage like a bird.One cage is named school, and the other is named cram school. What a sarcastic picture. There is no freedom left for the children who cannot enjoy the supposed cheerful vacation.

Why cannot the children enjoy the vacation that belongs to them Who push the children from one cage to the other What should we do to help the trapped children The three questions solved, the above picture will not exist any more. The answer to

the first question is hidden with the superficial one being acquiring more knowledge, and the fundamental one is that parents demand more scores from their children. They expect their children to be able to score more through attending various cram schools at the cost of their children’s supposedly splendid vocation. So it is the parents who pursue quick success that push the children from one cage to the other. To free the children, the parents should put emphasis on the children’s physical and mental health rather than the score.

As is known to all that pursuit of high scores has long been a phenomenon in China, the cause of this phenomenon is hard to be uprooted. Therefore, we should emancipate the children in the mind and return the joy of childhood to children gradually.

My View on University Ranking

The past years have seen the huge development of higher education in China and in contemporary society, it becomes a trend for universities to be ranked according to certain standards each year.Meanwhile, an increasing number of people deem it rather convenient to acquire information about quality of some universities.Searching the Internet, people can notice several editions of ranks very year.

A number of individuals favor this ranking because of its advantages.To begin with, without these ranks, it is impossible for people to make a direct comparison between different colleges.In addition, it is this ranking that enables China to build up a system of assessing higher education and to enhance its overall development.Even so, others hold the opposite view that university ranking carries some doubts.First, ranking all universities means a great amount of time and human resources; however, the quality and authority is not as satisfactory as expected.Second, what worries many experts is that some colleges may focus too much eyesight on ranking itself, ignoring the needs of students.By and large, the advantage derived the annual university ranking far outweigh the disadvantages. An effective ranking will bring colleges motivation, arouses their enthusiasm to strive, and helps China to enhance higher education.However, it is advisable for this ranking to be scientific, practical and impartial.

参考范文：

Should Food Be Banned on the Subway?

Currently, some cities are considering a food ban on subways, which has sparked heated discussion. Some people say food should be banned because of the trash and rats they attract. And, garbage from discarded food can cause track fires. Beyond sanitary and mechanical concerns, food can also fiiel fist fights, as was discovered last week by one passenger who criticized a woman eating steamed stuffed bun on the subway.

However, some others are opposed to the idea. They argue that peopk like eating in the train in the morning because they don’t have enough time to eat at their houses or restaurants. Sometimes that may be the only time or meal a transit rider may be able to eat especially when traveling long distances. Besides, there are people, for example diabetics, who do require food at various times to maintain blood-sugar levels.

Personalty, rm against the ban becmise of the huge inconvenience it would cause commuters, and the expense involved in enforcing it. Still, I believe we should have a little common courtesy. I think we all have responsibility to try to treat our subway system and fellow riders with respect, and that extends to food as well

参考范文：

The Impact of the Cellphone on Interpersonal Communication

The picture depicts a couple dating in the park. While the man just focuses on his cellphones, and doesn’t pay any attention to his partner or the nature beauty in the park. This picture reflects a common phenomenon in today’s society: people spend too much time with their cellphones and communicate less and less with the people around them.

In nowadays, the smart-cellphones become more and more important in our daily life. They have made our life more convenient. We are timely aware of the most latest news around or faraway from us.

However, everything has two sides. Except for all the advantages, the smart-cellphones also have brought some problems. First, when you’re focus on the cellphone, you may ignore the beautiful scene around you. What’s worse, you are just absorbed in your own small world, rather than share your happiness and sorrows with the family. You hardly talk with your family and the ones around you. You become indifferent to them.

All in all, let’s put down the cellphones and spend more time communicating with our family and friends face to face directly.

7.Hiring Celebrities as Visiting Professors

1. 目前有不少大学请明星当客座教授

2. 对这一现象人们看法不同

3. 我的看法

参考范文：

Hiring Celebrities as Mating Professors

Via Internet or other means of mass media，it is commoE to team that some super stars are employed as a guest professor of a universityT Whether it is helpful to hire personages for a university's development on hot debate from the very beginning.

There are two voices: Some people think that stars’ social influence can do good to the enrollment of a university and raise its social degrees of approval. Besides, universities should open to society and take advantage of various social resources，inclusive of celebrities1 life experience and struggling adventure. However, others hold the opposite viewpoint. They think that a professor under a star's name is just ai) advertising stunt, and has no practical meaning to the development of the imiversity. It also diverts students* attention from their academic study.

In my view, just as a coin has two sides, the inviting of celebrities as guest professors has both good and bad efFecU. Thus I think colleges should evaliiate the possible results thoroughly, and their choices should be based on the improvement of teaching standards and students, development. Universities should also take the features of their relevant disciplines into consideration before hiring some celebrity as a visiting professor.

8. How to improve the graduates’ mental health

Graduates’ mental health has been playing an increasingly important role in the daily life. Actually, it is widely accepted that it has gained growing popularity among persons in all walks of life. However, in the season of graduation, it’s reported some cases of self-killing or mental disorder still happened.

Obviously, graduates face various kinds of pressure. When graduates confront with great pressure, the best method is to communicate with friends or family members to unburden the feelings. And the universities and colleges should also pay more attention to graduates’ mental health and take effective action such as providing psychological service for students helping them to deal with mental problems. From the perspective of parents, they should care more about their kids’ mental health, too. Though the parents cannot write the dissertation for the graduates, nor can they find a job, they can communicate with their kids and help them to figure out the reasons for the difficulties.

From the factors mentioned above, we may safely draw the conclusion that we can free ourselves from mental illness by taking certain precautions. For example, if you have pains or puzzles in mind, finding a friend to express is a good way to release pressure. Certainly, there is no doubt that further attention will be paid to this issue.

9.Publicizing Lists of Uncivilized Residents

1. 目前某市政府在媒体上曝光不文明的市民 2. 人们对这种做法反应不一 3. 你的看法 参考范文： Publicizing Lists of Uncivilized Residents

To improve tbe behavior of its citizens, the government of X City has teamed with local media to release lists of uncivilized behavion. The lists have photos and basic information of offenders e. g, drivers brealdng traffic rules have their license-plate nurabers listed along with the time and location of the infraction. This has attracted particular public attention.

Some welcome the policy, believing it will deter people ftom poor behavior They say it will force people to behave themscives, or they will risk being named and shamed in the media. However, critics have complained that the initiative is an abuse of administrative power and is irresponsible* Citizens should certainly be held responsible for misconduct, they say, but the government should also create an environment to help people exercise self-discipline.

Personatlyt I agree that citizens should be responsible for their improper behavior but governments also do have a responsibility to improve their management. Besides, according to laws, law enforcement departments are entitled to give the proper punishments to violators of public regulations. It is, however, groundless for these governmental organs to publicly disgrace the rule- brcakcis.

1目前，中国年龄在18岁至30岁之间的人口数量约为2.7亿，该年龄段人群智能手机(smartphone)拥有率髙达92%，远髙于全球67%的平均水平。据统计，中国城镇居民全年人均(percapita)可支配收入(disposable income)为24565元，平均每月2047元，工作三个月才买得起一部5288元的iPhone 5.而20xx年前10个月美国实际人均可支配收人为32653.1美元，平均每月3265美元，一个月就可以买16部199美元的iPhone 5.按此计算，美国在iPhone 5的消费力方面是中国的48倍，而智能手机普及率(coverage)仍被中国超过，由此可见中国人对智能手机的巨大热情。

1.目前：可用currently或at present表达。

2.年龄在18岁至30岁之间的人口数量约为2.7亿：可译为there are about 270 million people agedbetween18 and 30.

3.城镇居民全年人均可支配收入：其中“人均”可译为percapita，“可支配收入”可用disposableincome表达。

4.买得起：用afford—词表达。

5.智能手机普及率仍被中国超过：“普及率”可用coverage表达，“超过”可用surpass或overtake表达，故该处译为the coverage of smartphone is still surpassed by China.

【参考译文】

Currently, there are about 270 million people aged between 18 and 30 in China,and the owningrate of smart phone among this age group is up to 92%, far above the global average of 67%.According to statistics,the annual per capita disposable income of Chinese urban residents is24,565 yuan, with average monthly income per capita being 2,047 yuan. That means,urbanresidents can afford an iPhone 5 with a price of 5,288 yuan after working for 3 months. Whereas,during the first 10 months in 2012,actual per capita disposable income in America is 32,653.1dollars, with average monthly income per capita being 3,265 dollars.That tells us, American peoplecan afford 16 iPhones 5 by working only for one month. Calculating in this way,American people'sconsumptive power of iPhone 5 is 48 times that of Chinese people. But the coverage of smartphone in America is still surpassed by China, from which Chinese people's great enthusiasm towardssmartphone is obvious.

2信用卡(credit card)是由银行发行的卡，持卡人可以凭卡赊购(buy on credit) 商品和服务。使用信用卡最大的好处就是能给持卡人带来极大的方便。人们可以 使用信用卡赊购他们需要的东西，并在一段时期内付淸欠款,而不必随身携带大量的现金。但如此的便利也带来了一些问题，如恶意透支(malicious overdraft)。还会剌激使用者超前消费，容易产生月光族。在消费的时候，使用信用卡会促使消费者更加冲动地购物，甚至购买一些平时不怎么用的商品。

参考译文：

A credit card is a card issued by a bank,allowing its holder to buy goods and services on credit.The most obvious advantage of credit card is the huge convenience it brings to card holders.People can use the cards to buy what they want on credit and pay off the debt over a period of time instead of carrying a large sum of cash with them.But such convenience also brings such problems as malicious overdraft and overconsumption which will easily reduce the card users to“moonlight

group”.When shopping,consumers with credit cards will buy goods more impetuously.They will even buy something that is not often used in daily life. 词句点拨

1.赊购商品和服务:赊购可用短语buy...on credit来表达。故此处可译为buy goods and services on credit。

2.最大的好处“:大的好处”即“明显的好处”，故此处可译为the most obvious advantage。其中obvious意为“显著的”。

3.但如此的便利也带来了一些问题，如恶意透支?:可译为But such convenience also brings such problems as malicious overdraft"其中，使用“such+n.+as...”这个结构可以达到清晰列举事例的效果。例如，我们买了苹果、香蕉、葡萄等水果，即We bought such fruits as apples,bananas,grapes,etc.

4.恶意透支和超前消费:分别可译为名词短语malicious overdraft和over-consumption。 3中国的电影市场一直在髙速发展，但是国产的动画业(animation industry)却不尽如人意。去年有33部动画电影发行，但没有一部票房(box office)喜人。原因有以下几点:一是投入少。一部好莱坞动画电影在放映和电影特技上的花费要超过其一半的预算。但在中国，这些通常只占10%。二是故事情节单一。目前中国很难有超过1亿票房的动画电影。内部人士称电影情节无趣是票房过低的罪魁祸首。此外，薪酬较低，要找一个好编剧(scriptwriter)也很困难。 参考译文：

China's film market has been developing at a high speed, but China's animation industry is not to our satisfaction. Last year, 33 animation films were released, none of which did well at the box office. The reasons are as follows: firstly, the low investment. A Hollywood animation film spends more than half of its budget on screening and special effects, which, however, in China, usually accounts for only 10%. Secondly, the tedious plot. Currently, few animation films in China can achieve more than 0.1 billion yuan at the box office. According to the insiders, boring plot is the main reason for low box office. Besides, its hard to find a good scriptwriter with low payment.

词句点拨

1.一直在高速发展:“一直”可用现在完成时表达，故译为have been developing at a tremendous speed。

2.不尽如人意:即“不能令人满意”，可译为not to our satisfaction。反之，“令人满意”则译为to one's satisfaction。

3.票房:固定译法为box office。

4.投入少:即“低投资”，可译为low investment。

5.放映和电影特技:可译为screening and special effects。

6.罪魁祸首:即“主要原因”，可译为main reason

4面对日益严重的环境问题，低碳经济越来越引起世界各国的关注。对于低碳经济的界定虽各有不同，但有一点是没有争议的。人们普遍承认，低碳经济是以低能耗、低污染、低排放为基础的经济模式，是人类社会继农业文明、工业文明之后的又一次重大进步。低碳经济实质上是能源高效利用、清洁能源开发、追求绿色GDP的问题，核心是能源技术和减排技术创新、产业结构和制度创新以及人类生存发展观念的根本性转变。在我国经济发展的关键时期，更加协调低碳经济与发展的关系，保护地球的生态环境，事关中国人民乃至全世界人民的福祉。

3.一一登场：可译为appear one by one。

4.有才能的“平民百姓”：可译为talented“ordinary people”。

7. 老龄化社会(an aging society)是指老年人口占总人口达到或超过一定的比例的人口结构模型。按照联合国的传统标准是一个地区60岁以上老人达到总人口的10%，新标准是65岁老人占总人口的7%，即该地区视为进入老龄化社会。老龄化的加速对经济社会都将产生巨大的压力。20xx年10月26日，中国传统节日重阳节(the Double Ninth Festival)到来之际，中国正式启动了一项应对人口老龄化战略研究，以积极应对持续加剧的人口老龄化危机。

【参考译文】

9. 西部支教(volunteering to teach in the west)对于促进当地教育和经济发展有着重要意义。大学生到西部支教，对农村的孩子不仅仅进行书本知识的教学，更重要的是通过组织安排一些活动，寓教于乐，希望对他们未来的学习和生活有所启发和引导，并激发他们学习的动力和对外面发达城市的向往，促使他们进步。此外，大学生也会把新的观念和思想带到农村去。去西部支教还能培养当代大学生的社会责任感和社会公益心，在一定程度上，也缓解了西部地区教师短缺的压力。

参考翻译

Volunteering to teach in the west is significant for the improvement of local education and the economic development.The college students who volunteer to teach in the west not only impart academic knowledge to children in rural areas,but more importantly,through a number of activities to combine teaching and entertainment,they hope to provide inspiration and guidance for the children about their future study and life.They also want to motivate the children in rural areas to study,evoke their desire for going to developed cities outside and help them make progress.In addition,the college students will bring new ideas and thoughts to the countryside.Volunteering to teach in the west can also help college students develop a sense of social responsibility and contributing to public benefit.To a certain extent,it also eases the shortage of teachers in the western regions.

10. 丁克家庭

中国有一句俗语叫做“不孝有三，无后为大”。但现在，很多时尚的年轻夫妇选择不生育孩子的生活方式，组建了丁克家庭。很多夫妻担心无法给孩子提供优越的生活条件，选择成为丁克家庭。现在，孩子的教育费用比过去高很多。在大城市，送孩子上好一点的幼儿园要花费巨资，重点中小学的学费更高。还有一些夫妻成为丁克家庭是迫不得已。当他们做好准备生育孩子时，已经错过了最佳生育年龄。

译文：

A popular saying has it that “There are three forms of unfilial conduct, of which the worst is to have no descendants.”But now, it is quite fashionable for many young couples to choose a lifestyle without kids and organize the DINK family. Some couples who choose DINK family are fearful that they cannot provide favourable living conditions for children. Nowadays, the cost of educating a child is much higher than

that of the past. In a big city, to send a child to a better kindergarten takes a large amount of money and the key primary or secondary schools are even more expensive. Some couples who have chosen DINK family are obliged to do so. When they make preparations for having a baby, it is a pity that they have missed the most fertile years.
