10、 was lost because he had been abandoned by his parents and not just once, but twice in a very short period of time. Abuse? Monster parents? Or was it just bad parenting? Hardly anybody voiced support for the father; there was simply no debate about that. It was the consensus that the parents should
11、not have let the boy out of their sight. Naoki Ogi, a TV personality and pedagogy expert, better known as “Ogi-mama,“ condemned the parents outright, saying this was neglect and abuse. He also noted and criticized how many parents in Japan tend to see their children as their personal possessions. On
12、e famous morning talk show host, Tomoaki Ogura, sympathized with the parents on Monday. On his Fuji TV show “Tokudane! “ Mr Ogura said, “To say If youre so bad, we cant take you along, just stay here is valid way of scolding a child.“ Kiyomimi, a mother of a child nearly two years old tweeted, “Forc
13、ed discipline is wrong, but when your child is throwing stones at people and cars, and wont listen to reason, then what are you supposed to do?“ So the Japanese public has spent this past week discussing good and bad parenting, and what is acceptable punishment and what is abuse. 专业英语四级(作文)模拟试卷 144答
14、案与解析 一、 PART VI WRITING 1 【正确答案】 Creating a Green Campus As an increasing number of people are concerned about environment protection, it is widely agreed that creating a green campus is vitally important. The environment in the campus will directly affect our healthy growth and study. But what does
15、 it mean by creating a green campus? As far as I am concerned, a green campus means much more than planting trees, flowers or grass on the campus or having indoor plants in the school buildings. It means that everyone on campus, including faculty members and students, should be aware of the importan
16、ce of environment protection and make an effort to contribute to environment protection in whatever he does. To create a green campus, on the one hand, school authorities should conduct a year-round campaign on campus to keep everyone constantly aware of the significance of a green campus. Only in t
17、his way will more and more students begin to protect the environment with their own actions. On the other hand, as students, whatever we do, we should take environment protection into consideration and make it a habit to save printing paper, water, and other resources. I believe that, with joint eff
18、orts of every one, the dream of creating a green campus will come true. 【试题解析】 本题属于 “自由发挥型作文。这篇作文的关键词是 “绿色校园 ”,只要围绕这个中心来论述,就不会偏题。按照题目要求,可以谋篇布局如下: 第一段:由社会现象入题,表 明创建绿色校园对我们的影响深远。 第二段:提出自己的看法,绿色校园不仅是指绿化,还指校园里人们的环保意识。如何做 ?可以分两点:第一,学校应全年不断地进行宣传,让每个人时刻谨记绿色校园的重要性;第二,我们做什么事都要考虑是否环保。 第三段,升华主题。 【知识模块】 作文 2 【正
19、确答案】 Mental Health in a High School The pie chart shows the mental well-being of the students in a senior high school. As can be seen, 75% of the students surveyed are psychologically healthy, while 25% of them suffer from psychological problems. Although the majority of the students are psychologic
20、ally healthy, the survey results still raise our concern about students psychological problems. To address this issue, the school could adopt two measures. First, psychological counseling could be offered to students when they are in need. Psychological teachers or voluntary university students majo
21、ring in psychology could set up office hours, dedicated to the counseling service. Second, the school could organize regular physical and entertaining activities to ease the burdens of the students. For instance, monthly outdoor activities, such as hiking, football matches, and camping, could help t
22、o effectively reduce students stress and relieve their tension. In conclusion, with proper measures in place, the school is able to prevent and address students psychological problems. 【试题解析】 该图表显示了某学校高中生的心理健康情况。从图表可见,大部分的高中生心理健康,但是有一部分学生心理有问题。根据这一思路,并按照题目要求,全文可以安排如下: 第一段描述图表。 第二段提出个人看法:可采取两方面措施来解决学

To be exact, students spend 93 minu
24、tes daily on doing homework, which accounts for the biggest share (39%) of their spare time. It is followed by watching TV (46 minutes) and listening to music (34 minutes), representing 19% and 14% respectively. Doing exercise (25 minutes) and using computers (30 minutes) account for a mediocre shar
25、e, representing 10% and 13% , while students only spend 12 minutes (5%) on doing house chores. From this finding, it could be deduced that students are, on the one hand, overwhelmed by the excessive study load, which almost squeezes out their spare time that could otherwise be spent on taking exerci
26、se or helping with their family chores. On the other hand, students seem to know how to overcome or counteract the stress from study. Thats to say, they will relax themselves by watching TV, listening to music and using computer. To improve the existing extracurricular activities structure, schools
27、and teachers are advised to decrease students study load, freeing up more time for them to promote physical health and family bonding. 【试题解析】 柱状图和饼形图反映了学生的主要课余活动及其所占的时间比例。由图可知,学生相当一部分的课余时间用于做作业和看电视。根据这一思路,并按照题目要求,文章内容可以安排如下: 第一段简要描述图表。 第二段指出造成该结构的可能原因:学生的学业负担比较大,但是他们懂得抽时间放松。 第三段提出个人建议:学校和教师最好能减轻学生的学

He is calling his mother, asking for instructions to wash his socks. The intended message of this picture is about students poor ability of taking care of themselves, a
29、problem quite prevalent in China today. In my view, both students and their parents should take the blame for their inability to take care of themselves. For one thing, some students take everything in their life for granted. They think it is their parents job to feed them, clothe them and even clea
30、n their messes. That is why they do not bother to learn some basic life skills. For another thing, the indulgence of parents encourages the laziness of their kids. Some parents go to extremes to micro-control every little detail of their kids. They even discourage their kids to make efforts to live
31、an independent life. In their minds, children are always the little kids who need constant love and care. In short, to help children become independent and capable, parents should loose control on their children, while children should learn to take some responsibilities for themselves. 【试题解析】 这幅图片描绘
32、了一名学生在宿舍里打电话给妈妈,询问如何洗袜子。可见,这名学生无法自理,基本的日常洗涮也要向家里人请教。根据这一思路,并按照题目要求,文章内容可安排如下: 第一段描绘图片,指出图片的内在含义:学生的自理能力差。 第二段提出个人看法,指出学生的自理能力差是自己和父母共同造成的。其一,学生认为父母包办生活中的一切是理所当然的,懒于训练自己独立生活的能力。其二,父母的溺爱纵容了孩子的懒惰,使孩子缺乏锻炼机会。 第三段作出总结:父母不要凡事都代办,学生要学会有所担当。 【知识模块】 作文 5 【正确答案】 Parents are the Best Role Models The news that a
33、 boy was abandoned in the woods by his parents twice has shocked the public. One pedagogy expert claims it is neglect and abuse while some people argue it is valid when children are doing some bad. I believe that abandonment is not an appropriate way to discipline and educate children in most cases.
34、 The best parenting depends on parents themselves. It would be wrong to state that abandonment has no effect in teaching children especially when they are losing tempers and making an air in the public. But parents have to meditate on why they are doing so. Usually, childrens personalities and behav
35、iors are deeply affected and forged by their parents. Therefore, abandonment only has short-term effect and does little to solve the most fundamental causes of childrens misbehavior. Indeed, it can even worsen the situation if parents are doing wrong at the same time. There are a number of alternati
36、ve forms of discipline that could work more efficiently in good parenting. One of these is for parents to restrain themselves and set a good example for children to follow. For example, if parents want children to stay away from iPad and other electronic products. They should not be addicted to iPad
37、 or cell phones all the time. Another practical way is to read more books on the education of children and care more about their mental health. Good parenting is far from dedicating food and fashionable clothes. A better understanding and company play more important roles in childrens growth. In con
38、clusion, I do believe abandonment has limited effect on educating children. Parents should influence them by their deeds and spend more time to accompany their children. 【试题解析】 本题给出的材料是讨论 “把孩子放在一边,置之不理 ”的这种教育孩子的方式是否妥当。根据题目的要求,首先对材料中的两方观点进行总结,再给出自己的观点。文章可按下列结构来安排: 第一段:先整合概括正反双方的观点,然后表明自己的论点 对孩子置之不理不是一种好的管教方式,好的父母应当以身作则。 第二段:对孩子置之不理的方式对纠正孩子不恰当的行为效果有限,不能从根本上解决问题。 第三段:好的父母应当以身作则,给孩子做出榜样。父母应该多读关于孩子成长和心理健 康的书籍,多陪伴孩子成长。 第四段:总结全文 置之不理的方式效果有限,父母应当做出榜样,多陪伴孩子。 【知识模块】 作文
