5、ite at least 150 words but no more than 200 words. 大学英语六级改革适用（作文）模拟试卷 10答案与解析 一、 Part I Writing 1 【正确答案】 Waste Is Worse Than Loss Theres a saying that goes, “Waste is worse than loss.“ in which I can see much point for the reasons as below: Firstly, seeing from the intention behind, waste is an inte
6、nded behaviour of getting rid of useful things, while loss is an unplanned or unwanted state of losing belongings. Therefore, if both are considered mistakes, waste is more unforgivable. Secondly, by comparing the results, we can find that waste has much worse influence on peoples behaviour as well
7、as the whole society. It may stimulate peoples desire and encourage similar behaviours. Can you imagine a society full of waste while a considerable part of people are still in bad need of basic necessities? Besides, loss is quite often inevitable while waste is not. It is something that can be avoi
8、ded but is indulged by us. With better awareness of preventing waste we can eventually reduce or even avoid it. 【知识模块】 作 文 2 【正确答案】 All Things Are Difficult Before They Are Easy A saying goes like this, “All things are difficult before they are easy.“ for which I would give a vote for the following
9、reasons: First of all, there is another way of saying the same truth, that “Everything is difficult at the beginning.“ We have numerous examples in history, such as the founding of Peoples Republic of China, the implementation of the new socialist system, the start of Chinas Reform and Opening-up in
10、 1978, and so on. It is always difficult at the beginning because you have to change the deeply-rooted habit or mindset first, which is painful, before you actually put into action. Besides, it is often more risky, which means, there is bigger chance of failure at the beginning. Meanwhile, as the bl
11、ueprint has been set up and everything is going into the right track, things are starting to be easier. The environment is less tough and the majority mindset is more tolerable, therefore things will be less difficult than they are at the start to be carried on. 【知识模块】 作文 3 【正确答案】 Money Does Not Gro
12、w on Trees “Money does not grow on trees.“ This is an interesting negative argument that everyone would have heard of since young. The saying, which means that money is hard to earn, is intended to wake up peoples lazy mind and encourage them to get wealthy by hard work. It is right from this point
13、of view. However, since you subconsciously believe it, you will find that you do not make any money in reality. Now, think about this: money can grow everywhere you sow, including the trees. As long as you sow it in the right place, water and nourish it properly, it is possible that you will harvest
14、 money on trees in the end. You can see it as a metaphor that money is not easy to make, but as long as you put efforts into the right place, you can make things happen, which I think is a positive and also better way of perceiving it. 【知识模块】 作文 4 【正确答案】 Gardens Are Not Made by Sitting in the Shade
15、Rudyard Kiplings remark “Gardens are not made by sitting in the shade.“ means if you dont pay efforts, you can hardly get any harvest. For me, it is very true and inspiring indeed. When it comes to building a house, for example, if you are just idling days away by thinking about how wonderful the ho
16、use will be, you can never have it done. Only by careful planning, making layout, picking materials and starting to implement, can you eventually make things happen. Here I have another instance, which happened to one of my friends, Jenny. She was dreaming about becoming a jazz dancer all day long a
17、nd she had a great passion for it. However, she never practices by herself or follows a course. What she would do was just talking, talking, talking,. about the glamour of this profession, the excitement of performing on the stage, or the feeling of satisfaction when applauded by the audience. Pitif
18、ully, two years later, when everybody else started to be fed up with her “dream“, she was still nothing but a great talker. As Kipling implied, youll never get gardens made by sitting in the shade. Similarly, youll never win a single success by doing nothing but dreaming. 【知识模块】 作文 5 【正确答案】 Every Ma
19、n Is the Architect of His Own Fortune Some people may ask, “Is future in our own hands?“ I will answer “Yes“ with no hesitation, and tell him there is a saying that goes, “Every man is the architect of his own fortune.“ There are numerous famous figures in our country and abroad who were brave enoug
20、h to challenge their own fate, such as Chinese mathematician Chen Jingrun, who grew up in a poor family and had to work in a grocery store as an apprentice. However, he did not succumb to fate, but self-studied mathematics at night. Later he attended classes at Tsinghua University as an auditor, so
21、that he was eventually capable of changing his own destiny and even astounding the world with the famous Goldbach conjecture. Destiny is like a spring, which gets stronger when you are weak, of course, we cannot control the weather, but we can change our mood: we cannot change the “gift“ from God, but we can adjust our attitudes: we cannot determine the length of life, but we can expand its width: we cannot change where we were born, but we can control our personality. 【知识模块】 作文
