For example, the commercials of some luxury goods are often extremely beautiful and fascinating to watch, but too much exposure to this type of commercials may make people become indulged in the
6、 worship of material wealth. NO As an important part of the innovative industry, TV commercials aim to bring a sense of novelty to the audience and attract their interests.

11、 in a loss of marks. YES There should be a clear bottom line for the historical TV dramas, as they should not go so far as to insult the intelligence of the audience. Some periods in Chinese history are worth remembering as important pieces of history, not something to be spoofed. When it comes to s
12、ome famous historical figures who have made great contribution to our nation, the drama should tell the truth. If the drama just makes up the stories and tempers with the historical facts, then it will mislead the audience, especially the young students. Entertainment doesnt mean that the directors
13、can add any funny elements to the drama without considering the facts of history. TV dramas, as an important way of entertainment, must also be educative and meaningful. It is irritating that some screenplays distort the history intentionally just to draw peoples attention. NO TV dramas are differen
14、t from documentaries. Dramas are meant to be entertaining, not necessarily educative. When the audience watch TV dramas, they simply want to relax themselves, not to learn history from them. Even if the historical drama is based on history, there are some fictional components in it. After all, TV dr
15、ama is a form of art and literature that is mainly composed of fiction and supplemented by historical facts. The plot of the story is the core of a drama, and the building of characters and the thoughts behind the story are what the audience care about. Whether it adheres to the history is not the m

19、ve traveling, touring around the world is their dream. The true traveling is not spending 4 or 5 days visiting some scenic spots, but staying one or two months or even longer in a place. In this case, one cannot still hold his or her job while going out to travel. Traveling can be regarded as a brea

25、ntent relevance, content sufficiency, organization and language quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks. YES All cheaters should be sentenced to jail because if they cheat on exams, they may also cheat while at work, or even worse, commit crimes, such as corru
26、ption, or using state funds for private purposes. Cheating on exams seems like a minor mistake, but it can reflect the poor moral character and the low degree of self-respect of the students who cheat. Punishing them severely can help them see that cheating gets them nowhere in life. They need to le
27、arn the value of hard work and should give up their fantasy of cheating in their later life. If there is no strict punishment to the behavior of cheating, it will be extremely unfair to other students who have made great efforts for the examination. If a cheater can easily get away from punishment,
28、then others may follow suit. NO Putting students in jail because of cheating on national exams is irrational. Cheating on exams does not indicate that these students are criminals or they have caused damages to society. The risk-takers can be punished in other ways, for example, retaking the exam, s
29、uspension, receiving moral education, and so on. Ending up in prison, however, is too cruel and will cause irreversible damage to the students whole life. It is quite likely that students who cheat on exams make the mistake only on the spur of the moment. If they take a second thought, they will not
30、 cheat. Through education, exam cheaters will realize their mistakes and correct their deeds. If the young students are put into jail, it will totally ruin their future, and they will pay a heavy price for their misdeeds. 5 New standards of filial piety released by the Chinese government specifying

33、sult in a loss of marks. YES Putting forward the filial piety standards is aimed to promote the traditional Chinese virtue of respecting the elderly. China has a long history of stressing filial piety, which forms the core of family values. Compared with the traditional filial devotion, the new stan
34、dards are more up to date and relevant to modern society. The new standards are an innovative way of inheriting the essence of filial culture. The modern society lays great stress on the legal regulation while filial piety which depends on peoples moral sense and inner discipline seems unable to pre
35、vail. What we need now is a code of conduct that helps to persuade people to practice filial piety. These standards do not intend to force people to obey filial principles by law, but provide them with a guideline. NO As a moral requirement for human beings, filial piety is unlikely to have perfect
36、standards. Real filial piety is not something to be shown off to others, but something buried deeply in ones heart. Due to different living and working environment, the ways of practicing filial piety may be different. It is unwise to require every child to follow the same standards. Besides, the ne
37、w standards are not feasible in modern days as many people live far away from their parents and have little time outside of work. The implementation of these new filial standards is not the right solution to the problem of Chinas aging population. As for the government, it is more effective to build
38、 up more state-run nursing homes rather than issue filial standards in order to solve the problem. 专业英语四级（作文）模拟试卷 116答案与解析 一、 PART VI WRITING 1 【正确答案】 TV Commercials Should Be Limited TV commercials are now an indispensable part of our life. When we watch our favorite TV program, we are also accompa
39、nied by various TV commercials. Most people find advertisements annoying and misleading, full of flowery phrases and empty promises. But there are some people who find advertisements amusing and interesting. As far as I am concerned, TV commercials should be curbed. Firstly, advertisements often exa
40、ggerate reality and may contain false information. In order to attract the audience and stimulate them to buy a certain product, advertisers often boast the effect of the product, and hire pop stars or celebrities to persuade consumers to believe in the advertisements authenticity. For example, a TV
41、 commercial of a facial cream claims that a lady will turn ten years younger as soon as she uses the cream, which is obviously deceptive. Whats worse, advertisers often turn a blind eye to the public influence of commercials. Many TV commercials encourage young people to pursue pure enjoyment and le
42、ad a luxurious life. If youngsters watch these advertisements all day long, they may be permeated with all kinds of unrealistic ideas, which may gradually influence their outlook of the world and life and hinder their growth. Therefore, to sum up, I strongly propose that TV commercials should be pla

44、el TV dramas have aroused a heated debate among people. Some believe that the historical TV dramas should be faithful to the history and should not cross the bottom line. However, others argue that the audience should not be too serious about the historical facts laid out in TV dramas. After all, un
45、like documentaries, TV dramas are only for the purpose of entertainment. As far as I am concerned, TV dramas should respect the history. First of all, the distortion of reality in TV dramas may exert an adverse impact on teenagers. There have been news reports about some teenage girls, who imitate t
46、he scene in the TV drama in the hope of traveling through time, but only ending up paying price with their lives. Directors should be aware of the influence historical TV plays may exert on the audience, especially young fans. Secondly, fabrication of stories of prominent historical figures may be m
47、isleading. Some filmmakers make up stories of some prominent figures, severely distorting their images. Fictional characters and events in historical TV dramas are so deeply rooted in the minds of the audience that they cannot distinguish true stories from the fascinating plots. This explains why th
48、e younger generation are more ignorant of our history. All in all, we should be cautious about the content of TV dramas. Its our duty to pass down positive energy while avoiding negative influence. In the era of entertainment, TV dramas should still be meaningful and educational. 【试题解析】 本题讨论当下热门的历史题
