大学英语六级考试作文预测
预测作文(一)Aging Before Wealthy
1.物价上涨,通货膨胀,社会压力越来越大,很多白领出现“未富先老”的现
象。
2.作为一个大学生,走出校门后,你将如何应对这种情况。
【范文】
Stress has been around human beings ever since its existence; it is an
unavoidable consequence of life. In current society, everyone is required to work in a fast pace with the competition getting more and more hectic. What one earns does not make ends meet. Therefore a lot of white collars are suffering from “aging before wealthy”.
As university students, we will face those issues in no time. The first thing we should do is to stay positive. Secondly, knowledge is power. A competent person will accomplish his/her goal easier than others. So when we are still in campus, we shall spend more time in improving our skills, as well as broadening our horizons. In
addition, everyone needs to learn stress management that suits them in order to cope with the current pace of the society.
All in all, by following the above steps and recognizing the seriousness of the reality, I am quite confident that we can face the future challenges and eventually survive.
【点评】
首段交待“未富先老”的历史和社会背景,先讲压力自古有之,后讲现代社会的压力更大。不仅如此,收入与支出的不和谐更是导致当今社会白领压力过大的重要原因。三句话步步深入,层层递进。“收支不平衡”使用what one earns does not make ends meet。
第二段提供了三个应对措施。第一是从心理上保持乐观积极。第二是增强自身的业务技能。第三是进行压力管理。整段长短句结合,在表达“某人应该做某事”这个意思时,分别使用了sb. should do, sb. shall do, sb. needs to do等,使语言更加丰富。另外,在遇到和就业压力、升学压力、生存压力、心理健康等话题时,可供参考的短语和词组有:hectic(疯狂的)competition, suffer from, stay positive, a competent person(有竞争力的人),stress management, cope with, confident和survive.
预测作文(二)Audaciousness (出位)
1.目前,互联网上有很多出位的现象,比如裸奔 (streaking) 等。
2. 是不是在新时代要获取关注,就要靠出位呢?
3.你如何看待这种现象?
【范文】
Currently, audaciousness online like streaking has grabbed many people’s
attention. It seems that in order to be famous, people have to resort to audaciousness. However, I believe that audaciousness may not be a proper way to draw public attention and realize one’s self-value.
To acquire fame and success, one has to consider three basic factors, namely
goal, methods, and persistence. First, one needs to set a crystal-clear goal. This goal should aim at achieving the wholesomeness of the society. Second, one has to make the most of the mass media, since we are in an information age, and people gain news from various kinds of ways. Finally, persistence makes sure that success is within one’s reach.
In conclusion, by doing right things at the right time, we can also grab the
public’s attention. Yet it is without doubt that audaciousness is not a good choice.
【点评】
第一句话开门见山,用sth. has grabbed(抓住) sb’s attention。接下来使用的 “have to resort to”表现了一种被迫和无奈之感,但转折词however马上话锋一转,引出了作者的观点。在表达对像搏出位这样的社会现象时,切不可武断使用bad一类的词语进行价值评判。一会显得措辞鲁莽,二会显得过于主观。所以这里推荐使用sth. be/not be a proper way to do sth. else. 以显示客观中立。
第二段讲了对出位的认识。文章没有直接讲这种行为的优点或缺点,而是从追求成功的角度阐释一个人应该具备目标、达到目标的方法和坚持不懈的毅力。言下之意是间接否定了出位。比较好的表达有:明确的目标(crystal-clear goal),社会完整(the wholesomeness of the society),充分利用(make the most of ),志在必得(sth. is within one’s reach.)。最后一段是重申主题和作者的立场。
预测作文(三)Marriage: Is it still a tradition?
1. 剩男剩女越来越多。
2. 传统的成家立业、结婚思想是否会发生变化?
3. 未来社会是否会有更多的人选择不结婚,单身过日子,谈谈你的看法。
【范文】
Marriage, what a holy and inspiring word for human beings is. However, with the passage of time, the concept of marriage changes dramatically, as can be seen from the increasing numbers of single men and women in contemporary society.
From my perspective, this interesting phenomenon well reflects the young’s
value shift in the aspect of marriage, family and so forth. First, the substantial
development of our nation’s economy greatly changes the way young people treat marriage. They are more financially independent and attempt to seek individual freedom. Second, young people are becoming growingly competitive that they
subconsciously raise the standards of their ideal partners, which lead to the fact that many find it hard to find their perfect matches.
As far as I am concerned, I strongly believe that single life is not the main
trend in the long run for both men and women, because marriage can bring a lot happiness to us. Accordingly, the future of marriage will still be promising.
【点评】
首句欲抑先扬,指出婚姻是holy and inspiring(神圣并振奋人心的)。接着通过转折词however, 状语with the passage of time,非限制性定语从句和被动语态as can be seen的使用,使句子结构丰富,并不失连贯性与逻辑性。
第二段讲述了年轻人婚姻观发生转变的社会和个人原因。最后一段表达自己对婚姻乐观积极的观点。值得一提的是此文中的副词和状语。副词如dramatically,
greatly, financially, growingly, subconsciously, strongly等使它们修饰的动词和形容词更加形象生动;另外,中文里的动词在英语中通常可以用副词和状语来处理。如第一段中的with the passage of time(随着时间的流逝)。
预测作文(四)Government Officials and Their Words
1. 最近不断有官员爆出“雷人”话语,令人咋舌。
2. 你如何看待这种现象?
3. 请反思这种现象背后的原因。
【范文】
It is reported that floods of stunning words have burst into our society out of the mouths of some government officials. Some of those words are really astonishing and audacious, which arouse significant concern among the public.
As for me, I think that there are two major reasons accounting for this
controversial issue. One is the misinterpretation of the mass media. It is universally acknowledged that lots of media exaggerate or uglify the facts in order to gain more attention from the public and achieve more profit. So they may have defamed some of the remarks made by the government officials so as to win the mass attention.
Another reason is the government officials themselves. It is true that increasing
numbers of officials fail to behave appropriately in public due to their lack of social etiquettes and poor education, which result in their improper remarks.
In general, I do hope our government officials can build up an upright and
respectable image for the public and minimize the negative influence of those
stunning words.
【点评】
第一段使用了被动语态来描述一个社会现象,使文章客观。在形容相关官员的“雷人”话语时,用了stunning, astonishing和audacious三个词,语言丰富而深刻。
表达“it is universally acknowledged that”语出英国小说家简·奥斯汀的名著《傲慢与偏见》的第一句话:It is a universally acknowledged truth that a young man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife, 译为“??是一件举世公认的真理”。在重复“误读”这个信息时,用了exaggerate(夸大)、uglify(丑化)和defame(使名誉扫地)来替代,不仅避免了一词多用,还挖掘了误读的真正涵义。另一个原因是政府官员自身的素质不够,社会责任感不强。
最后一段表达了作者对政府官员的希望,提出要树立一个正直和令人敬重的形象(an upright and respectable image),并将“雷人”话语的负面影响降低到最低(minimize)。
预测作文(五)Information Security
1. 信息安全问题日益重要。
2. 信息安全事故可能导致的危害。
3. 如何做到信息安全。
【范文】
Information has already become a vital element in contemporary society.
Therefore, the importance of information security has also drawn great attention in the society.
As I can see, accidents of information security will bring about appalling
consequences. First, the exposure of key information of some big enterprises can be quite a heavy blow not only to the company but also to its main business partners. Second, the intrusion of personal information is also terrifying because it can ruin one’s fame, reputation and that of other people’s. Furthermore, the accidents of information security will give away critical intelligence of a nation, the result of which is definitely devastating.
Thus, in order to guarantee the information security, both the government and individuals should join hands and make a difference. It is expected that the
government make strict and sound legal system to combat violation of information security. For individuals, they are supposed to be more cautious and alert so as not to be intruded of their privacy.
【点评】
第一段言简意赅,突出信息安全的重要性。这主要通过两个单词来体现:vital和importance。
紧接着在第二段一开始,作者用appalling一词呼应了“重要”这个重点。表达the exposure of key information体现了中英文的区别。中文的动词,如本文中的“暴露”在英文中变成了名词,且在句中充当了名词。另外the intrusion of personal information翻译成中文为侵犯个人信息,也是中文动词变英语名词的例子。这两个表达照顾到了结构上的对称,使句子读起来工整有致。第二段末句的devastating与此段首句遥相呼应,再次重申了信息安全的重要性。
最后一段是解决措施。一般有两条万能解决方法。一是政府和有关部门制定法律并保证有效实施,二是公民要加强教育、增强自身意识。有效的表达有:make strict and sound legal system(strict和sound头韵,为英语一种修辞手法),violation(侵犯、践踏), cautious and alert(小心与警觉)。

3. 信中应包括自己的联系方式

预测作文(七)Adjust the income distribution
relationship
1. My View on the Income Gap
Outline: 1. 收入差距悬殊是当前社会的一种现象
2. 人们对之褒贬不一
3. 我的看法
【范文】
Now the income gap is getting wider and wider. In some privately owned firms, joint-ventures, or foreign-fund companies, an executive's yearly income is ten times or even a hundred times as much as an ordinary worker's.
Faced with this situation, people will undoubtedly have different opinions. Some believe that it benefits the social and economic development since driving force is
often derived from the gap. In other words, the gap inspires people and gives a push to advancement. Others speak of its side effect: income gap is often the root of social unrest and also contrary to our country's principle.
From my point of view, while it is true that the income gap may stimulate the
social development to some extent, it causes trouble as well. An income gap that is too wide for most people to bear can neither contribute to the stability of a country nor promote its economic development. Therefore, while we are advocating the rapid
development of our country, we should tolerate the narrow income gap but narrow the wide one.
There has been a heated discussion over the growing income gap now. Some
people hold that the gap is natural because it reflects different contributions that different people make in their work. In their view, those people with high income work hard and long. Besides, these people bring high efficiency, and create more wealth. Accordingly, they deserve high pay.
【点评】
目前人们对日益增长的收入差距进行着激烈的讨论。有人认为,存在差距是很正常的,因为它反映了不同的人在工作中做出的不同贡献。在他们看来,高收入人群进行着更辛苦和时间更长的工作。此外,这些人带来高效率,创造更多的财富。因此,他们应该得到高薪。
On the other hand, there are always some people who view this gap negatively. They believe that a lot of crimes happen as a result of this income gap. Some people make so little from their work that they risk taking criminal acts to get rich. In fact, experts have long found out that most cases of crime are directly related to low income. There is another point to back up a negative view against income gap. For most people, income gap may destroy the satisfaction that they obtain from work.
另一方面,总有一些人以消极的态度对待这种差距。他们认为,由于这种收入差距,大量的犯罪事件发生。有些人凭工作得到的报酬太少,为了致富他们冒险进行犯罪。事实上,专家们早就发现,大多数的犯罪案件与低收入有直接关系。伴随着对收入差距的消极态度,还产生了一个负面影响。对大多数人来说,收入差距可能会破坏他们对工作的满意度。作文地带提供本文翻译。
As anything has two sides, so has the problem of income gap. Personally, I
believe that this gap may motivate people to compete better in job market. When this gap is growing too wide, however, our government should make some policies to get rid of its negative consequences.
正如任何事情都有两面性一样,收入差距的问题也是这样。我个人认为,这一差距可能会激励人们更好在工作领域竞争。但当这种差距变得越来越大,然而,我们的政府就应该做出一些举措以避免其消极后果。
