Marks will be awarded for content relevance, content sufficiency, organization and language quality. Failure to follow the
3、above instructions may result in a loss of marks. YES In big cities like Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou, young people can have many more opportunities than in small towns. Those big cities are usually economically developed areas in China, and therefore many Chinese and international companies choo
4、se to do business there. For young university graduates, they can have far more chances to find a promising job in big cities. If college graduates choose to work in big cities, they can have opportunities to get in touch with elites in every field. Many forums and international meetings are held in
5、 big cities, providing great opportunities for young people to enrich their knowledge and renovate their thinking. Living and working in big cities can broaden their horizon. In modern big cities, ones ability is far more important than his family background. As long as one is diligent and hard-work
6、ing, he can build up a bright future by himself. NO Big cities like Beijing and Shanghai are the most developed areas in China, but at the same time, the living cost there is also too high to afford. Although the salary in big cities is higher than that in small towns, the cost is even higher. The c
7、ompetition in big cities is too fierce, and the pace of life there is too fast for people to bear. In some top 500 companies, it is quite common for employees to work till night. In order to get promotion, young people have to face greater pressure, and therefore both their mental and physical healt
8、h is often facing threats. If graduates choose to work in small cities or towns, their salary may not be that high, but they can live a healthy and normal life. Instead of working overtime, they can relax themselves on the weekend, such as going outdoors and attending gatherings. 2 In todays job mar
9、ket, applicants who have studied abroad are widely welcomed by companies and schools, and are offered with more opportunities to find rewarding jobs than those without such experience. Are overseas returnees superior to graduates who are at home? Employees and employers have different views. The fol
10、lowing are opinions from both sides.

11、anization and language quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks. YES Graduates who have studied abroad can easily distinguish themselves from those who are at home in terms of the mastery of foreign languages, especially English. Studying and living in foreign
12、countries have sharply improved the overseas returnees oral English, language proficiency as well as their communication skills. This advantage is extremely important and is greatly valued by todays employers, especially international companies. Studying abroad can broaden ones horizon, and enhance
13、ones understanding and tolerance of cultural diversity. During their college years, the overseas students may contact with people from different nations and cultural backgrounds. Thus they are often more adept at dealing with cross-cultural issues than college students at home. NO Not everyone who s
14、tudies overseas can learn real skills. As peoples living standard has been improved very much, many students have the chance to study abroad. But not all of them treasure this chance. For some college students, when they go to a foreign country, what they like to do most is to play and have fun, not
15、 to study. When they return home, what they bring back is simply a diploma, but not the real skills. If the employers choose them only because of their diplomas, it will be unfair to the others. The knowledge from overseas does not always fit in our country. Even if the students who go abroad do lea
16、rn some real skills, it does not mean that these skills and knowledge are completely suitable for the Chinese employers. 3 Should young criminals be treated the same way as adults by the authorities? This issue has been intensely discussed for years. The following are the supporters and opponents op
17、inions.

18、y. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks. YES If our courts take a more flexible approach, then the related laws and punishment will not have a proper effect on teenagers. In fact, teenagers are likely to commit horrible crime since they are unaware of whats illegal.
19、 Only by taking stern legal measures against young criminals can we bring a number of misguided young people around to the right road. In some cases, the lighter sentences might also lead to peoples resentment towards the judicial system as victims might argue that these young offenders are not puni
20、shed justly. This eventually could also bring a lot of unsafe factors to peoples life and social stability. NO The circumstances of the crime and the criminals motivation should be taken into consideration when it comes to juvenile delinquency. For example, because of poverty and hunger, some teens
21、may turn to stealing food or robbery during the period of distress. In the above case, harsh punishment, such as long-term jail, might not be the best solution. Some alternatives such as community service might be better for some young offenders who lack parenting and self-discipline. Minors should
22、be given a better chance of rehabilitation when they commit crimes because of their ignorance. 4 Are environmental problems too big for individuals to solve? This matter has been intensely discussed for years. The following are the supporters and opponents opinions. Read carefully the opinions from
23、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, content sufficiency, organization and language quality. Failure to follow the above instructio
24、ns may result in a loss of marks. YES Some severe environmental pollution, such as global warming or sea contamination, might fail to be resolved only by personal effort. In this case, the government plays an inescapable role in environmental management because it is the only legalized institution t
25、hat may formulate legislation related to environmental problems. The government can enact laws and introduce programs to raise the public awareness of environmental protection. Big companies have outstanding advantages in finance and technology, which give them the possibility to reduce pollution. F
26、or instance, some big companies can improve their production process to recycle the waste materials. NO It is an unshakable obligation for everyone to safeguard the environment, no matter how small personal involvement in environmental conservation might be. It is known that environmental contaminat
27、ion and conservation are long-term problems, and no single government or big company can meet this challenge alone. Environmental protection needs every one of us to continuously participate in. The publics will and behavior have an important influence on governments policies and companies strategie
28、s. For example, if everyone says “ No“ to plastic shopping bags and paper cups, then the companies that manufacture them will switch to environmental-friendly substitutes in order to survive in the market. 5 Should young people undertake important positions in the government? This issue has been int
29、ensely discussed for years. The following are the supporters and opponents opinions. 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
30、 for content relevance, content sufficiency, organization and language quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks. YES Young leaders who have been well educated are more likely to have a deeper understanding of cultural difference, and they can empathize with emp
31、loyees and clients much better. Compared with senior leaders, young leaders can apply the latest technology and theory to practice, and this can counteract negative stereotype of management and greatly improve productivity. A distinct merit emerging from youngsters working in such positions is the i
32、mprovement of government efficiency. Admittedly, most of government agencies are thirsty for high efficiency so that they can provide better services for the public. NO Youngsters might make incorrect decisions that may hamper government work process due to their lack of work experience and ability
33、to analyze problems. Elderly people have better cognitive skills, such as big-picture thinking and long-term vision. Years of work experience and failures have taught them to take every aspect into consideration before making important decisions. Since senior leaders have already overcome countless
34、difficulties and challenges, they can quickly adjust their moods in turmoil and lift the morale of the whole organization. 专业英语四级（作文）模拟试卷 114答案与解析 一、 PART VI WRITING 1 【正确答案】 Bright Future in Big Cities When it comes to the vast pool of young and underemployed college graduates, they are really on t
35、he horns of a dilemma of choosing a proper place to start their career. To choose a modern big city like Beijing or Shanghai, or to stay in a small town, is a tough question. Some graduates prefer big cities for the metropolises remain a strong appeal to them with the multitudinous opportunities. Sm
36、all towns, in some other graduates opinion, create a comfortable work environment. In my point of view, I believe youth is for us to strive, and there is no better place for us to do so than big cities. Firstly, although the working condition in big cities is far more arduous, we can still give full
37、 play to our initiative. As long as we keep making efforts toward our dreams, we will surely enjoy a rosy future. If graduates can weather the initial difficult situations, what they embrace will be a strong mind to overcome more difficulties, which is a very important element for them to succeed in
38、 the future. Secondly, in big cities, there are more chances for graduates to improve themselves. Once they seize the chance, their sweat and tears will get rewarded. Lastly, owing to the fact that many companies and organizations at home and abroad are situated in highly developed cities, young gra
39、duates are more likely to widen their intellectual horizons in big cities. In conclusion, I strongly hold that it is better for graduates to choose a job in big cities. The abundant opportunities there will enable young people to exploit their potential and realize their dreams. Although life in big
40、 cities may be more difficult and arduous, all the efforts and hardship will be paid off if we are determined to seize the opportunities. 【试题解析】 本题讨论大学生就业时该不该选择大城市。在具体行文方面，考生应首先简要概述正反方观点。第二段提出并阐述自己的看法：毕业生应该到大城市工作，并给出理由。第三段总结全文。 【知识模块】 作文 2 【正确答案】 Overseas Returnees Are Not Superior Studying abroad h
41、as become a popular trend in recent years. Many overseas students have become strong competitors in the job market after they return to China. There is no doubt that language skill is one of the distinctive advantages of overseas returnees. However, some people hold the opposite opinion. They claim
42、that overseas study should not be always considered as an open sesame to a well-paid job since many youngsters merely regard the experience of studying abroad as a fabulous travel. In my opinion, in this ability-oriented society, practical skills and enriched knowledge of an employee should outweigh
43、 a diploma from a foreign college, even though I am convinced that overseas experience should be valued. It is wiser for employers to measure employees ability from a comprehensive perspective. Ones overall ability is comprised of many aspects, including teamwork, professionalism, leadership, integr
44、ity, respect for others, etc. They should all be taken into consideration. Or else, it is unfair to those who have not studied overseas. More importantly, cultures differ from one to another. It is quite commonplace to find that the overseas experience is not completely suitable for the Chinese circ
45、umstance. In conclusion, ability outweighs diploma in the job market. Overseas returnees are not superior to students who have studied at home. 【试题解析】 本题讨论海归是否在求职中高人一等。在具体行文方面，第一段首先概述正反方观点。第二段提出自己的看法：现在的社会主要是靠能力，真才实学比外国文凭更重要，并给出自己的理由。第三段重申观点，总结全文。 【知识模块】 作文 3 【正确答案】 Should Young Criminals Be Treated
46、 the Same Way as Adults? In recent years, the rate of juvenile delinquency keeps on soaring, which has attracted lots of attention from the public and the social scientists. Accordingly, whether young lawbreakers should be punished equally as adult criminals has become one of the most controversial
47、issues throughout the world. Some people claim that the lighter sentences will neither minimize the amount of crime committed by teenagers nor make the victims believe in equal justice, while others hold the view that what sanctions should be imposed must be decided by taking the criminals age, moti
48、vation and future development into consideration. My stand is that this is never a purely black and white issue. Whether the same penalty should be imposed on juvenile lawbreakers and adult criminals is dependent on the specific case. On the one hand, those who commit violent crimes, such as rape or
49、 murder, should be treated the same way as adult criminals regardless of their age so as to ensure justice and equality. On the other hand, if teenagers embark on the criminal road because of negligence or induction, a lighter penalty can help them reflect on themselves as well as give them a chance to turn over a new leaf. All in all, it is a hasty approach to simply impose the same penalty on young criminals as adult criminals. Judges should be more discreet about the punishment on juvenile criminals. 【试题解析】 本题讨论少年犯是否应该和成年犯受到相同的处罚。在具体行文方面，考生首先要
