YES In traditional Chinese context, helping people in need is a highly valued virtue and also a noble spirit. In the historical record, there are numerous stories telling how b
4、rave people sacrifice their lives to save others. Young people today, being the future of our nation, should carry on the valuable spiritual heritage. In essence, the behavior of saving others in danger shows peoples social morality. Maybe now we are not strong enough to protect others from danger,
5、but what matters is the bravery and social responsibility shown by us. If we educate children not to save others in danger simply because they may get hurt, then we can imagine what kind of moral value they will uphold when they grow up. NO Every life is precious. Although it is a noble virtue to sa
6、ve others in danger, it is also unwise to save others when we are not even capable of protecting ourselves. It is not worthy of risking ones own life to save others. In modern society, policemen and some other professional experts can handle the dangerous situation better than ordinary people. Rathe
7、r than risking ones own life, one should resort to the professionals first. In real life, things sometimes do not turn out well when bold people put their lives in a dangerous place in order to save others. In a degree, they may not get the appreciation from the saved one, let alone the compensation

10、your view on the issue. 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 TV advertisement often contains many illusive descriptions. In order to convince the public to buy
11、the products, exaggerated expressions are used in advertisements to attract peoples attention. Whats worse, sometimes advertisers even provide false information for consumers, leading them to believe that the products have the claimed effects which they actually do not possess. Many TV commercials m
12、ay convey wrong messages or values to the young people or kids. 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 worship of material wealth. NO As an impo
13、rtant part of the innovative industry, TV commercials aim to bring a sense of novelty to the audience and attract their interests. With the help of advanced technology, modern commercials strive to be pioneering, distinctive, and appealing. All the ingenious ideas, beautiful scenes and vivid effects
14、 shown in various commercials can provide audience with a fresh experience. Watching commercials is both amusing and relaxing for people. Although some TV commercials do contain improper messages, such as money-worship, it is undeniable that most of them deliver positive messages to the audience, su
15、ch as patriotism, familial affection, and the pursuit of a better life through ones own efforts. 3 In these days, lots of popular historical TV dramas, including some famous time-travel TV dramas, are being criticized for seriously distorting history. Chinese regulators have imposed tough new regula
16、tion on the production of such TV dramas because these time-travel TV dramas lack “ positive thoughts and meaning“. This regulation arouses debates among people. Should TV dramas strictly adhere to true history? Read carefully the opinions from both sides and write your response in about 200 words,
17、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 instructions may result in a loss of marks. YES There should be a
18、 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 some famous historical figures who have mad
19、e 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 can add any funny elements to the drama wi
20、thout 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 different from documentaries. Dramas are meant to
21、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 drama is a form of art and literature that i
22、s 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 main concern for the audience. It is imposs
23、ible for TV dramas to be in accordance with the history. No one can tell exactly what was said or done at a point in history. 4 A resignation letter written by a middle school teacher from Henan province says, “The world is so big that I want to have a look. “ Quitting ones job to travel around the
24、world seems to be a popular trend for todays young people, but many people question this irrational behavior. Do you support the behavior of quitting ones job to travel?

Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks. YES For those who love traveling, touring around the world is t
26、heir 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 break for many who struggle to earn a living in
27、 cities. Yearning to see the outside world is the nature of all human beings. Taking a break and traveling in exotic countries will not only bring you new knowledge but also shape your ideas and perspectives about how you see yourself and the world. NO For most ordinary people, working and supportin
28、g the family are their basic responsibilities, while other hobbies, like traveling, can only serve as a supplementary part of their life. Quitting the job to travel is an unreasonable and irresponsible behavior. Traveling will cost a large amount of money. Once an individual quits his job, without t
29、he salary, it will be difficult for him to continue his life. Some people are simply using traveling as an excuse to escape from their life and responsibilities. They have the illusion that leaving their jobs and traveling outside can solve all the problems. However, when they return from their trav
30、eling, they will find that the problems are still there. 5 Students who are caught cheating during national exams could end up facing between three and seven years in prison, according to an amendment to the Criminal Law of the Peoples Republic of China, which takes effect from Nov. 1st, 2015.

32、nization 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 corruption, or using state funds for private pu
33、rposes. 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 learn the value of hard work and should give
34、 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, then others may follow suit. NO Putting st
35、udents 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, suspension, receiving moral education, and
36、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 cheat. Through education, exam cheaters w

If the young students are put into jail, it will totally ruin their future, and they will pay a heavy price for their misdeeds. 专业英语四级（作文）模拟试卷 69答案与解析 一、 PART VI WRITING 1 【正确答案】 Should People Be Saved at the Cost of Others Lives? In recent years,
38、the news about saving others lives at the cost of ones own can be frequently read on the newspaper. The whole society considers those people who bravely stand out to save others as heroes and role models. Many people, therefore, encourage this kind of conduct because it is consistent with the tradit
39、ional Chinese virtue and can enhance the overall social morality. However, others raise the question of whether it is worth sacrificing ones own life in order to save others because all lives are equal. In my opinion, we should respect the traditional virtue of helping others and self-sacrifice, but
40、 it is equally important for us to resort to wiser and more suitable ways to solve the problem when danger occurs. It is known to all that every life is equally precious and should be respected. Though helping others who are in danger is the responsibility of a qualified citizen, helping others when
41、 one does not possess the ability to get others out of danger is imprudent. So, it is unwise to take action when we are not capable enough to help others. A more advisable way is to ask for help from the professional people, such as the policemen. In conclusion, we should bear in mind that every lif
42、e is precious. Bravery alone is not enough: what is more important is wisdom and courage. Hero is someone who is capable of finding a proper and safe way to save other people at the lowest cost. 【试题解析】 本题讨论是否应该见义勇为，为救他人而不惜牺牲自己的生命。在具体行文方面，考生要先概述正方观点：见义勇为是中华民族的优良传统，如果因为有危险就见死不救，会给孩子们展示错误的道德观念；然后概述反方观点

When we watch our favorite TV program, we are also accompanied by various TV commercials. Most people find advertisemen
44、ts 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 exaggerate reality and may contain false information. In order t
45、o 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 commercial of a facial cream claims that a lady will turn te
46、n 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 lead a luxurious life. If youngsters watch these advertisements
47、 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 placed under strict restrictions in order to create a clean and

Some
49、 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, unlike 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 imit
