YES Cell phones are stunting peoples social skills. For many people, they would prefer texting message as a form of communicati
4、on rather than face-to-face contact. It harms peoples ability and desire for real-life social interaction when its so easy to start conversations by texting instead. Entertaining electronic games and a variety of interesting applications in mobile phones have occupied much of peoples time. Informati
5、on distribution tools and social networking tools, in particular, have attracted all of our attention, which tempt us into keeping our eyes on the screen around the corner of every second and leave us no time to talk with people around us in real life. NO Cell phones greatly facilitate our communica
6、tion. With cell phones, we can contact with our friends and relatives more conveniently than ever before. No matter where we are, phone calls, WeChat or video calls can immediately connect us together. The days when it took months or even years to hear from one another have gone forever. The problem
7、s related to cell phones are not caused by the technology, but the misuse of them. What cell phones have brought us is just a new form of communication. Taking good advantage of cell phones, we can communicate more efficiently. But misusing them may also bring adverse effects. 2 There have been many
8、 news reports about the inappropriate behavior of Chinese tourists overseas, such as spitting, littering, jumping the queue, talking loudly in public, and carving characters in scenic spots. The Chinese National Tourism Administration recently announced that in order to improve the image of Chinese
9、holidaymakers overseas, it will establish a “ black list“ for individuals engaging in uncivilized behavior, and the record will be kept for up to two years. Do you think the government should adopt this measure to prevent tourists uncivilized behavior? Read carefully the opinions from both sides and

11、in a loss of marks. YES As an old saying goes, “Old habits die hard. “ It would be difficult for some people to change their bad behavior. But if such behavior is outlawed and the law is strictly enforced, like in Singapore, it is possible to change peoples bad behavior. The regulation of establishi
12、ng a “black list“ is a wise try to solve the problem. Some Chinese tourists uncivilized behavior when traveling overseas has, to some extent, already affected the image of Chinese people. When tourists travel in a foreign country, what they say and do can represent the image of our whole country. Wi
13、th the policy of “black list“ , people will better shoulder their responsibilities as a Chinese when traveling overseas. NO Establishing a “black list“ may be a good plan, but it is difficult to be implemented. What kind of behavior will be regarded as severe? Who will monitor the tourists behavior?
14、 These all need specific and detailed regulation. To monitor and evaluate tourists behavior will cost much investment and energy. So the new policy is unlikely to yield concrete results. Setting up the “black list“ cannot really solve the problem. With the “ black list“ , people will be afraid of be
15、having improperly in foreign countries, but they still do not know how they can behave properly. Education is what people really need. The government should enhance peoples awareness of proper behavior. 3 Nowadays the Internet media, such as Weibo, are influencing public opinion and peoples daily li
16、fe strongly. Recently, students in Department of Journalism of a famous university are assigned with the task of running a personal account in Weibo. The number of their followers in Weibo will be counted as their final score at the end of the semester. Do you think it is appropriate to give this ty
17、pe of assignment to college students?

Marks will be awarded for content relevance, content sufficiency, or
18、ganization and language quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks. YES Weibo represents the new channels of information in modern society. It is an attempt to ask students to run Weibo accounts and get followers, which encourages students to better adapt to the
19、era of new media. Through the platform of Weibo, students can acquire a large amount of information by getting in touch with many celebrities and receiving opinions from different sources. For students who major in journalism, they can become familiar with the basic editing procedures and publishing
20、 skills by posting on Weibo. In order to attract more and more followers, students will try their best to build up their images on Weibo in a desirable manner, which can sharpen their creativities. In other words, they manage to put what they have learned in textbooks and classrooms into practice. N
21、O It is an absurd teaching approach to evaluate students achievements according to the number of their followers in Weibo. The number of ones followers in Weibo can hardly prove his knowledge or ability. It is ridiculous to say that a pop star with one billion followers is more respectable and succe
22、ssful than a scientist with ten thousand followers. In order to meet the requirement, students may take a shortcut and pay money to increase the number of their followers. Whats worse, in order to attract public attention, some students may make up fake news, or publish gossips and rumors to attract
23、 more followers. It will go totally against the primary goal of college education. 4 The fever of luxury goods has now spread all over China. Buying international brands such as Louis Vuitton, Chanel and Gucci has become a fashion for many Chinese people, including those who are not quite affluent.
24、Should people frantically pursue the luxury goods?

25、fficiency, organization and language quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks. YES With the fast economic development over the past three decades, the consumption habits of Chinese people have changed greatly. For some consumers, many luxury goods are simply hi
26、gh-priced commodities. Cosmetics and perfumes which cost a few hundred yuan, and some expensive watches can be afforded by many middle-income people in China today. Luxury goods, despite their high price, usually possess high quality and therefore can be used for a long time. Today as the average in
27、come increases, people have extra money to pursue high-quality life and to purchase luxury goods. For them, buying luxury goods is not to show off, but simply to enjoy the finest products. NO The fever of luxury goods reflects the blind worship of material wealth existing in our current society. By
28、“ luxury“ , we mean “ a pleasant but often expensive thing that is not necessary“. Most luxury goods are not necessities, but since they are labeled as “ luxury“ , owning a luxury product is equal to living a first-class life. So many ordinary people whose salary can barely afford them still follow
29、the trend, which is a total waste of money. Many consumers buy luxury goods simply to flatter their vanity, because they believe the high price can add to their social status, and they can draw satisfaction from the show-off of luxury goods. If this tendency is not curbed, it will exert an adverse i
30、nfluence on the whole societys values. 5 Some people say the government shouldnt spend money in building theaters, museums and stadiums, but should spend more money on medical care and education. Do you agree? Read carefully the opinions from both sides and write your response in about 200 words, in

Marks will be awarded for content relevance, content sufficiency, organization and language quality. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks. YES Health and educatio
32、n are the basic needs of people. We often say health is wealth. Without health, even if you are a millionaire, you will not be able to enjoy your life. The society needs better medical system to ensure that every patient is taken good care of. This is the first step of social development. Our spirit
33、ual foundation is built by education. Only with more knowledge, can we catch up with the fast growing economy. We need healthy body and brilliant mind to change our world into a better one. Theatres, museums and stadiums are signs for a higher standard of living. Compared with our basic needs, they
34、are less important. NO First, stadiums provide ideal places for people to do physical exercises and get entertainment. After a whole weeks hardworking, people can enjoy a wonderful football game on the weekend, and refresh themselves with good relaxation there. Second, museums serve as base areas fo
35、r education. The British Museum, which is the largest museum in the world, provides visitors with knowledge about world culture and arts. Visitors to the museum are all overwhelmed by the magnificence of the cultural and historical displays featuring mankinds achievements. In addition, the performan
36、ces shown in the theaters will also greatly enrich the lives of citizens. People can enjoy ballet, symphony, and Peking Opera in a theater, which contain the soul of Chinese and western cultures. 专业英语四级（作文）模拟试卷 117答案与解析 一、 PART VI WRITING 1 【正确答案】 Stop Indulging Yourself in Cell Phones The technolog
37、y of smart phones has changed the way we live and communicate. For todays people, cell phone has become an important part of their daily necessities. Peoples increasing dependency on cell phones naturally sparks off debates. Many believe that overusing cell phones will occupy peoples time and reduce
38、 face-to-face communication among people. But some hold that cell phones actually facilitate communication as long as we make use of them properly. In my opinion, the overuse of or addiction to cell phones will exert a negative impact on our daily communication and life. Nowadays when we go out, we
39、can often see couples sitting opposite each other looking down at their phones, or friends sitting around the table staring at their phones without talking to each other. It seems that the indulgence in cell phones deprives us of the normal contact we used to have with our family members or friends.
40、 It is high time for us to realize that the messages we type on cell phones, or the funny pictures we send through WeChat or Weibo cannot be equal to a sincere greeting we say with a smile to our friends. Cell phones, after all, are a convenient tool for communication, but not the only one. To sum u
41、p, cell phone has brought us instant communication, but at the meantime, it may also lead to various kinds of problems due to peoples excessive dependency on it. I would like to call on young people to put down their cell phones for a while, and then they will find that the world without cell phones
42、 is also wonderful. 【试题解析】 本题讨论手机大量介入人们的生活是否会影响人际交往。在具体行文方面，考生应该首先总结材料，概述正反双方观点。然后给出自己的观点：过度使用或沉迷于手机会对我们的生活带来负面影响。最后总结全文。 【知识模块】 作文 2 【正确答案】 Becoming Civilized Tourists With the rapid development of Chinas economy, more and more Chinese people now choose traveling abroad as a way to relax. However,
43、the improper behavior of some tourists has aroused anger among the public, and Chinese government has proposed the policy of “black list“ to punish them. Many people hold a positive view toward this policy, for they think that only strict regulation can curb the tourists improper behavior and save C
44、hinas international image. In contrast, some question the effectiveness of this policy and maintain that education is a more preferable solution. As far as I am concerned, the policy of establishing the “ black list“ is in good intention, but it is only curing the symptoms rather than the disease. A
45、dmittedly, the uncivilized behavior of some Chinese tourists tarnish the reputation of all Chinese. But enacting a set of rules to force them to correct their bad manners during traveling can only result in people behaving properly out of the fear of penalty, not out of their awareness. It can impro
46、ve the situation temporarily, but cannot solve this problem thoroughly. The most effective way is to improve peoples awareness of protecting the environment and respecting different customs. That is to say, the government should help them become responsible world citizens. Only in this way, can we i
47、mprove our international image. In conclusion, I believe that it is necessary to take some measures so as to urge tourists to behave properly. After all, enhancing education among young people is more important than the administrative rules. 【试题解析】 本题讨论政府针对中国游客在海外不文明行为颁布的 “黑名单 ”规定是否应该施行。在具体行文方面，考生应该

49、ety. Some people applaud this new teaching method for it can enhance students skill to publicize themselves through new media. However, others doubt that this measure may mislead students to adopt improper ways to achieve the goal. In my opinion, the measure of grading students by how many followers they get on Weibo is unwise. Apparently, it will take quite a long time for a new comer to accumulate a certain number of followers. However, in order to accomplish the task, students may have to post exaggerated or even false information to attr
