1. 情景作文:人生哲理类:创新(2012 年 12 月真题) Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay entitled Man and Computer by commenting on the saying, “The real danger is not that the computer will begin to think like man, but that man will begin to think like the computer.” You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.
There is a saying that “The real danger is not that the computer will begin to think like man, but that man will begin to think like the computer.” The purpose of the saying is to show us that utmost importance should be attached to innovation and creativity. To begin with, an attitude of innovation could be said to be the watchword, or motto of science. Think of all the innumerable times a scientific experiment must be carried out, all the laboratory tests, all the live trials, before a new medicine or vaccine is invented. In addition, innovation is also responsible for many of today’s business successes. For instance, it was only after four years and four different tries of varying business models that an entrepreneur finally found success, and went to become the chairman of one of the largest Internet companies. To sum up, in any field of endeavor, it seems necessary to first put great emphasis on innovation before one can finally reach success. It is as if life is testing us, testing our innovation and creativity to see if we are really dedicated to our vision, before life finally rewards us with success. (196 words)
参考译文
有句话说“真正的危险不是电脑将开始像人一样思考,而是人类开始向电脑一样思考”。
这句话的目的是告诉我们应该充分重视创新。
首先,创新的态度可以说是科学研究的信条。想想看,只有在进行了无数次的科学实验、
实验室检测和活体试验之后,才能发明新药物和新疫苗。其次,创新也是当今许多企业能够
成功的原因。例如,某位企业家历经四年尝试了四种不同的商业模式,最终才取得成功。后
来这位企业家也当上了最大一家互联网公司的董事长。
总之,在任何领域,似乎只有在重视创新之后,一个人才能获得最后的成功。生活好像 是在考验我们的创新能力,看看我们是否能专注于自己的理想,最后才会给予我们成功。
2. 情景作文:人生哲理类:诱惑(2013 年 6 月真题第一套) Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay commenting on the remark “Good habits result from resisting temptation.” You can cite examples to illustrate your point. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.
There is a saying that “Good habits result from resisting temptation” to which I can’t agree more. Unfortunately, lack of determined will and social experience, teenagers frequently fall into the traps of temptations such as Internet games, smoking, drinking, and so on. In a bid to form good habits, one needs a strong will and perseverance to resist temptation. Numerous examples can be given but these will suffice. The outstanding habit of reading classic literature on a regular basis is a case in point. Nevertheless, you would definitely have to spend less time on your favorite Internet games or fascinating mobile phones. Likewise, the good habit of doing exercises every day means repeatedly dragging oneself away from the TV series and cozy couch. These cases effectively clarify that good habits arises from resisting temptation. As has been mentioned above, a wise mind and determined will should be gradually cultivated so that the adolescents can resist various bad temptations and form excellent habits. Just as Oscar Wilde, an esteemed British novelist put it, “I can resist everything except temptation.” (178 words)
参考译文
有句话说“好的习惯来自于抵制诱惑”,我非常同意。不幸的是,缺乏坚定的意志和社
会经验,青少年总是陷入网络游戏、吸烟、喝酒等诱惑的陷阱。
为了养成良好的习惯,人们需要坚定的意志和坚持不懈来抵制诱惑。可以给出无数的例
子,但下面这些例子足矣。经常阅读文学经典的优秀习惯就是其中之一。然而,你必须花费
更少的时间在心爱的网络游戏或诱人的手机上。同样,每天进行锻炼的良好习惯意味着日复
一日强迫自己远离电视剧和舒适的沙发。这些例子有力地证明了好的习惯源于抵制诱惑。
综上所述,青少年应该逐渐培养明智的心态和坚定的意志,以便我们抵制各种各样不好 的诱惑并形成良好的习惯。正如奥斯卡•王尔德,著名的英国作家所说:“除了诱惑,我都能 抵制。”
3. 情景作文:环境保护类(2013 年 6 月真题第二套) Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay commenting on the remark “Earth provides enough to satisfy every man’s need, but not every man’s greed.” You can cite examples to illustrate your point. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.
Just as Mahatma Gandhi, a great Indian saint put it, “Earth provides enough to satisfy every man’s need, but not every man’s greed.” More recently, the human race has begun to realize that protecting the earth in its natural condition is imperative for human survival. Essentially, we need the earth to counter the effects of global warming, air pollution and ecological balance. I can think of no better illustration than the following one. Owing to human greed, air pollution has become a major cause of respiratory illnesses. In many cities, the air is so bad that people actually wear masks and air filters. Breathing this air can kill you. More than ever, city dwellers need the natural areas where they can go to rest their lungs and breathe fresh air. Thus, we must preserve and restore whatever the earth we have left, especially the ones in and
around the cities. To summarize, it is clear that humans need to leave the earth in its natural condition. We need the earth to combat air pollution, global warming and population explosion. It is my view that it is a long-term matter of life and death. (193 words)
参考译文
正如伟大的印度圣人甘地所说,“地球提供了足够的资源来满足人类的需要,但无法满足
人类的贪婪”。最近,人们逐渐认识到,保护地球是人类生存的必要条件。从本质上讲,我
们需要自然环境来缓解全球变暖、空气污染和生态失衡带来的影响。
我想不出什么例子比下面这个更好。由于人类的贪婪,空气污染已经成为呼吸系统疾病
的主要原因。在许多城市,空气污染极其严重,人们甚至会带上口罩和空气过滤器。呼吸这
种被污染的空气等于杀害自己。如今,城市居民比以往更加需要自然区域。人们可以去那里
呼吸新鲜空气,也歇歇肺。因此,我们必须保护地球上剩下的东西,尤其是城市内和城市周
围的自然环境。
总之,人类明显需要更多地保护自然状态下的地球。人们需要地球来抵抗空气污染、全 球变暖和人口激增。从长远看来,我认为这是生死攸关的事情。
4.情景作文:人生哲理类:人生(2013 年 12 月六级真题第一套) Directions: For this part you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay commenting on the remark “The greatest use of life is to spend it for something that will outlast it.” You can give examples to illustrate your point and then explain what you will do to make your life more meaningful. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.
The famous saying “The greatest use of life is to spend it for something that will outlast it” is rather thought-provoking, which tells us the real meaning of life. It is contemporary social issue in China with common interests and permanent value. In my view, there are good reasons to undertake meaningful things that exert positive and profound influence on the society, such as protecting the environment, helping vulnerable groups as well as promoting education. To illustrate, Abraham Lincoln never wavered in his devotion to democracy and equality, whose life has become an inspiration in the United States and throughout the whole world. His life, though limited, definitely lasts longer, and is a life worth living. Likewise, a young person who aspires to be a great writer might decide to buy some literary books or spend weekends writing and refining his works. Without any aspiration, he might simply end up spending all his spare time surfing online or playing Internet games. In brief, a meaningful life serves to motivate and guide us in our daily lives.It provides us with the focus and direction that enable us to work towards accomplishing a special goal, objective or task. (196 words)
参考译文
名言“尽用生命就是将生命花在比它更长远的事上”相当发人深思。它告诫我们人生的
真正意义。这是一个人们普遍关注并拥有永恒价值的当代中国社会问题。
在我看来,我们应该从事对社会产生积极深远影响的有意义的事情,例如保护环境、帮
助弱势群体及发展教育。例如,亚伯拉罕林肯从未放弃投身于民主及平等。他的人生成为美
国以及整个世界的一种鼓舞。尽管他的生命有限,但无疑长久延续并意义非凡。同样,一个
渴望成为伟大作家的人,或许会决定买一些文学书籍或把整个周末的时间用于写作并修改自
己的作品。而如果没有志气的话,他也许只会将所有的闲暇时间用于上网或玩网络游戏。
总之,有意义的人生在日常生活中 给予我们激励和指导。它为我们提供了专注的焦点
和方向的指引,使我们能够通过努力实现一个特殊的目标或任务。
5.情景作文:人生哲理类:幸福(2013 年 12 月六级真题第二套) Directions: For this part you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay on happiness by referring to the saying “Happiness is not the absence of problems, but the ability to deal with them.” You can cite examples to illustrate your point and then explain how you can develop your ability to deal with problems and be happy. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.
As an old saying goes, “Happiness is not the absence of problems, but the ability to deal with them.” Why is difficult to define, or rather discover and achieve happiness? I maintain the major determinant lies in a person’s attitudes. There is little correlation between the circumstance of people’s lives and how happy they are. Instead, happiness lies in the struggle to be happy. To demonstrate, people sometimes go to extremes, and frantically pursue money, power, high social status, and so on, which are all symbols of success—but never of happiness. Perhaps if they shifted their life’s goal from ultimate success to unswerving efforts and to a confidence that they will be successful one day they would be a great deal happier. Besides defining it, how do I achieve happiness? There is little doubt that various people have diverse ways of going about this task. As for me, the most significant secret is realizing that happiness is a by-product of something else. The most obvious sources are those pursuits that give our lives a purpose. These can be anything from playing tennis to studying insects. The more passions we have, the more happiness we are likely to experience. (199 words)
参考译文
正如谚语所说:“幸福并非没有问题,而在于解决问题的能力”。为何很难定义、发现和
获得幸福?我认为最重要的因素在于人们的态度。
人们的生活环境和他们的幸福程度之间没什么关系。相反,幸福在于获取幸福的奋斗之
中。例如,人们有时候会走极端,疯狂追求金钱、权利、很高的社会地位等等。这些都是成
功的象征,但并非幸福的象征。也许如果他们把人生目标从终极成功转向坚定不移的努力和
未来必将成功的自信,他们将会更加幸福。
除了定义幸福之外,我如何来获取幸福?毫无疑问不同的人有着迥然不同的方式来实现 这一目标。对我而言,最大的秘密就是认识到幸福只是其他事情的一种副产品。最明显的来 源就是给予我们生活目标的那些追求。这些追求可以是从打网球到研究昆虫的任何事情。我 们越有激情,我们越有可能感受到幸福。
6.情景作文:教育文化类:教育:2015 年 6 月第一套 Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay commenting on the saying “Knowledge is a treasure, but practice is the key to it.” You can give one example or two to illustrate your point of view. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.
Would you want a doctor to operate on you who has only learned about operations from a textbook? The answer to this is obviously a resounding “No!” Knowledge gained from books must always be complemented by knowledge gained from actual experience, to be of real value. For me actually practicing a particular action or experiment myself and experiencing the result, leaves a much deeper and lasting impression than what I get from simply reading or listening. If I read about how to write an essay or listened to someone talk about writing an essay, I still wouldn’t feel that I knew how to write an essay until I wrote one for myself. The same can be said for other skills, like sports, for example. A person can know all the rules of a game, associated skills and strategies, but until that person gets on a court with a ball in motion, the theory remains flat, useless. To sum up, as to theoretical knowledge and practical skills, the latter is certainly more significant. Just as British churchman Thomas Fuller put it, “Knowledge is a treasure, but practice is the key to it.” (191 words)
参考译文 你是否愿意让一位只学过课本上的手术知识的医生做手术?显然,这个问题的答案是一 声响亮的“不”。从书本中得来的知识必须同从实践中获得的知识相结合,才会有真正的价 值。 对我来说,实践某件事,或者亲自去尝试某项活动并感受最后的结果,要比读书听课给 我留下的印象更深刻,更持久。如果只是读到如何写作,或是听别人讲解写作方法,我觉得 自己还是不会写,非得亲自写一篇才行。掌握其他技能也是同样的道理。以体育为例,一个 人可以通晓所有的比赛规则和相关的技巧和战术,但除非这个人上场打球,否则那堆理论就 是呆板无用的。 总之,对于理论知识和实践技能来说,后者当然更重要。正如英国教士托马斯•富勒所 说:“知识是一种财富,但实践是打开财富的钥匙。”
7、应用文:求职信(2014年12月真题) Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a letter applying for a post in a certain company. You are required to write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.
