四级写作（长沙新东方 曹林权 胡彦博）

今年四级作文几个话题有类似的地方，都更倾向于要求考生进行自身经历的描述和思考。这类考法与大家实际生活很相关，大家应很有话说。

文章的结构仍可以采取传统的三段式。首都引出话题，简要概括要描述的人或事；如果平铺直述进入主体显得有些苍白简单，于是可以稍加一句引入的句子，然后再开始引入要谈论的人或事情，文章便显得自然很多。二段具体描述，并可分成两到三个不同的方面来进行细节刻画；这里要尽可能细致具体，切忌假大空。事实上第二段并没有超出传统议论的角度，即从原因和影响的角度展开思路。从原因角度可能更好展开，然后再通过简单的例子对观点进行辅佐。末段总结并引出对自己的影响。

文章不在词难句长内涵深，而在于用词准确、行文流畅、真实可信。下面几篇范文供大家参考。

A course that impressed you most in college （长沙新东方 曹林权）

During my college life, there were so many fantastic courses impressing me deeply. Among all those fabulous educational programs, the set of lectures given by Professor Deng XueJian, an eminent professional in the field of zoology, exerted the hugest impACT on me and my further study.

Clearly, so many GREat moments had I experienced in his class that I would like to list three of the best one. First and foremost, Prof. Deng never failed to engage us in his teaching by showing us numerous interesting pictures of the species only described in words in the textbook. In addition, Prof. Deng, more often than not, took us to participate in all kinds of community ACTivities, publicizing the significance of protection towards endangered animals among the residents.  The most admirable point of his course is that he combined the zoology with literature to demonstrate the beauty of zoology. For example, he introduced the diversity of the species by citing some famous poems.

Overall, in his class, not only did I acquire professional skills, but the interest towards nature and literature was ignited in my mind as well. I feel so lucky that I have got the chance to be instructed by him.

A camp ACTivity that benefited you most   （长沙新东方 曹林权）

When I was a college student I took part in a wide range of ACTivities held in my school. Among all these fascinating pastimes, the one benefited me most is a contest on oral English, named the National English Contest for College Students, in which I ranked the third.

Obviously, this competition was a huge blessing in my study and life. Initially, it enabled me to enhance my oral English during the process of preparing for the competition. Furthermore, through the fierce contest, I found my own shortcomings in oral English and learned a lot from other excellent contestants. Last but not the least, several previous friends were made in that ACTivity, who not only helped me a lot but became my best teachers in my way to study English.

Overall, through the competition, not only did I achieve a relatively good prize, but a clear self-estimation was made, which plays an indispensable role in one’s way to success. Thanks to it, I began to study English more diligent in my rest college life.

A classmate of yours who has influenced you most in college ( 长沙新东方 胡彦博)

Classmates around us are playing an essential role in one’s life. However, when it comes to the classmate who has influenced me most in my college, without question, Henry is the one who comes to my mind firstly.

Henry is my classmate during my 4-year college life. The reasons why I deem that Henry has influenced me most are as follows: in the first place, Henry is not only expert at his academic fields, but also adept in addressing all kinds of difficulties and predicaments we are confronted with in our daily life，which demonstrates a fitting example of how verSATile a college student should be to me; in the second place, he has always been instructing us some valuable principles ranging from those virtues we should possess, to those capabilities we are supposed to be equipped with. For instance, that we are expected to be ready to lend a helping hand to those who are in need is the words he always reminds us.

To sum up, what Henry has done for us is a solid moral foundation that leads us to a promising direction, and what Henry has always been doing has influenced me most in my life values.

越来越多的年轻人正对旅游产生兴趣，这是近年来的新趋势。年轻游客数量的不断增加，可以归因于他们迅速提高的收入和探索外部世界的好奇心。随着旅行多了,年轻人在大城市和著名景点花的时间少了，他们反而更为偏远的地方所吸引。有些人甚至选择长途背包旅行。最近的调查显示，很多年轻人想要通过旅行体验不同文化、丰富知识、拓宽视野。

It is a new trend in recent years that interest in travel of youths has increasingly arisen.

According to a recent survey, many young people would like to experience different cultures, to enrich their knowledge and to widen their vision through travel.

大熊猫是一种温顺的动物，长着独特的黑白皮毛。因其数量极少，大熊猫已经被列为濒危物种。大熊猫对于世界自然基金会（WWF）有着特殊意义。自1961年该基金会成立以来，大熊猫就一直是它的徽标。大熊猫是熊科中最稀有的成员，主要生活在中国西南部的森林里。目前大约有1000只大熊猫。这些以竹为食的动物正面临许多威胁。因此，确保大熊猫的生存比以往更重要。

Pandas, with special black and white fur, are mild animals. They were listed as endangered species due to their little amount. The panda has an unusual meaning to WWF because the picture of a panda has always been the logo of the foundation since it established in 1961. Being the rarest member in bear family, the panda live mostly in the forest in southwestern China. At present, there are roughly 1000 pandas. These animals, which feed on bamboo, are facing plenty of threats. As a result, it it more crucial than ever to ensure the existence of pandas.

Passage 1 （长沙新东方 罗文婷）

文章出处：http://thevillager.com/2013/08/22/bike-store-owners-put-their-spin-on-new-bike-share/

New Yorkers are gradually getting used to more pedaling passengers on those blazing blue Citi Bikes. But what about local bike shops? Is Citi Bike rolling up riders at their expense? At Gotham Bikes in Tribeca, a manager who gave his name as “Ben W.” said the shop has seen an increase in its overall sales due to the bike-share program. “It’s getting more people on the road, more people learning about the sport and getting involved,” he said. An employee at Danny’s Cycles in Gramercy said Citi Bike is a good option for people to ease into biking in a city famed for its vehicular congestion and agGREssive drivers. “They can try out a bike without committing to buying one,” James Ryan said.

Rentals are not a big part of the business at either Gotham Bikes or Danny’s Cycles. But for Frank’s Bike Shop, a small business that has been at its current Lower East Side location on Grand St. since 1976, the bike-share program has been bad news. Owner Frank Arroyo said that his rental business has decreased by 90 percent since the Citi Bikes were rolled out last month.

However, Ben said the bike-share is good for bike sales at his shop. “People have used the bike-share and realized how GREat it is to bike in the city, then decide that they want something nicer for themselves,” he noted.

Christian Farrell of Waterfront Bicycle Shop, on West St. just north of Christopher St., said initially he was concerned about bike-share, though, he admitted, “I was happy to see people on bikes.”

Farrell’s early concerns were echoed by Andrew Crooks, owner of NYC Velo, at 64 Second Ave. “It seemed like a GREat idea, but one that would be difficult to implement,” Crooks said of Citi Bike. He said he worried about inexperienced riders’ lack of awareness of biking rules and backlash from non-cyclists. However, he said, it’s still too early to tell if his business has been impACTed.

While it’s possible bike-share will cause a drop in business in the long run, Crooks allowed that the idea, as a whole, is good for the city.

56题 B

题干意思是：对于在纽约逐渐提升的Citi Bikes的使用，作者最为关心的是什么。定位词为Citi Bikes，因为是第一题，按顺序原则先定位到第一段第一句。第一句陈述了在纽约Citi Bikes的使用渐渐被人们所习惯，是原文的同义改写。按照金三句原则，看定位句的下一句But what about local bike shops? Is Citi Bike rolling up riders at their expense? 作者立马关心起local bike shops，而且问到了Citi Bikes是否收费的问题，答案选B

57题 C

定位词为大写人名Gotham，题干意思是：自行车共享计划后Gotham的车行发生了什么。题干当中的as a result of表示因果关系，我们要找到自行车共享计划对gotham的商店带来的一个结果。定位在第一段的第三行， Gotham Bikes的一个manager说道 “the shop has seen an increase in its overall sales due to the bike-share program.” 定位句中的due to（因为）是原文as a result of的取反改写，我们要找的是结果，看到due to前面的部分——商店已经看到在他们的整体销量的一个提升。答案选C选项。

58题 B

题干意思是：为什么自行车共享计划对于Frank’s Bike Shop来说是坏消息的？要找到一个原因。定位词是大写名词Frank’s Bike Shop，定位到原文第二段第三行。定位句本身只是陈述事实，看定位词的下一句找原因。F店的店主说道since the Citi Bikes were rolled out last month.因为自行车共享计划的推行，his rental business has decreased by 90 percent，他的rental business租借生意下降了百分之九十。答案选B，顾客都被Citi Bikes拉走了，就没人来租自行车了。

59题 A

题干意思是：为什么Andrew Crooks认为自行车共享计划难以执行？定位到文章第五段。第三句：He said he worried about inexperienced riders’ lack of awareness of biking rules and backlash from non-cyclists. 他担心经验不足的骑行者缺乏对骑行规则的意识以及来自非骑行者的反对。他的担心有两点，在答案中找到任何一点就可以，答案选A。经验不足的骑行者会破坏骑行规则。

60题 D

题干意思是：本地自行车行对自行车共享计划的普遍态度是怎样的？最后一题，定位在最后一段。尽管bike-share可能会导致行业内长期的低迷状态，但是as a whole总体来讲，对应到题干中的general，对整个城市是好的。选正态度的的答案，D。

选词填空1：（长沙新东方 任伟伟）

原文如下，出自Newsweek. http://www.newsweek.com/chemicals-within-87375

As an Alaskan fisherman, Timothy June, 54, used to think that he was safe from industrial pollutants at his home in Haines—a town with a population of 2,400 people and 4,000 eagles, with 20 million acres of protected wilderness nearby. But in early 2007, June aGREed to take part in a survey of 35 Americans from seven states. It was a biomonitoring project, in which people's blood and urine were tested for traces of chemicals—in this case, three potentially hazardous classes of compounds found in common household products like shampoo, tin cans, shower curtains and upholstery. The results—released in November in a report called "Is It in Us?" by a coalition of environmental groups—were not reassuring. Every one of the participants, ranging from an Illinois state legislator to a Massachusetts minister, tested positive for all three classes of contaminants. And while the simple presence of these chemicals doesn't necessarily indicate a health risk, the fACT that typical Americans carry these chemicals at all shocked June and his fellow participants. As Stephanie Felten, 28, of Aurora, Ill., put it, "Why should chemical companies be allowed to roll the dice on my health?"

Clearly, there are chemicals in our bodies that don't belong there. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention conducts a large, ongoing survey that has found 148 chemicals in Americans of all ages, including lead, mercury, dioxins and PCBs. Other scientists have detected antibACTerial agents from liquid soaps in breast milk, infants' cord blood and the urine of young girls. And in 2005, the Environmental Working Group found an average of 200 chemicals in the cord blood of 10 newborns, including known carcinogens and neurotoxins. "Our babies are being born pre-polluted," says Sharyle Patton of Commonweal, which cosponsored "Is It in Us?" "This is going to be the next big environmental issue after climate change."

曾经在课上说过单词填空有三个做题步骤，分别是选项的词性辨析，原文缺失成分的词性猜测以及词性相符的选项逐一代入，所以我们可以发现，单词的意思并不是解决这道题目的关键，相反的，对于词性的了解更加重要。

A. analyses 动词的第三人称单数形式 分析

B. average 形容词/名词/动词（形容词的用法最为常见）平均的；平均数；均分

C. belong 不及物动词（常与介词to搭配使用） 属于

D. demonstrated 动词的过去分词（可能作为形容词）证明，表露

E. excess 名词（不可数）/形容词 过度；过度的

F. extending 动词的现在分词（可能作为形容词和名词） 扩展；延伸

G. habitually 副词 习惯性地

H. necessarily 副词 必然地

I. products 名词的复数形式 产品

J. ranging 动词的现在分词（可能作为形容词和名词）排列；（在范围内）变动

K. released 动词的过去分词（可能作为形容词） 释放;发布

L. shocked 动词的过去分词（可能作为形容词） 震惊

M. simple   形容词 简单的

N. survey   名词的单数形式 调查

O. traces 名词的复试形式/动词的第三人称单数形式 痕迹；追踪

36. N 空前是不定冠词a，空后是介词of，本空缺可数名词的单数形式，排除复数名词选项I和O以及现在分词做名词的选项F和J；而且因为是不定冠词a，所以这一空所缺的名词一定不是元音开头的单词，排除E选项。答案锁定N选项。

37. O空前是介词for，空后是介词of，本空需要填的是名词，以及空前没有冠词a或the，那这一空只能填不可数名词或者名词的复数形式，词性符合的有E, F, I, O，结合语意锁定O答案，这个项目检测人们的血液和尿液是为了追踪化学制品。

38. I 本空所在分句 “three…and shower curtains”作为伴随性的状语，可以理解成“三种有潜在危险的化合物在常见的家庭产品中被发现，比如面霜，马口铁罐头和浴帘。”

39. K 本空所在分句“_____in November in a report called ‘Is it in us?’ by an environmental group”作为插入语修饰主语the results, 已知部分的意思可以理解为“11月，在由一个环保组织所做的名为‘是我们吗？’的报告中…的结果相当令人担忧”，也就是这个结果是被一群人给…的，可想而知这一空填的应该是一个过去分词做the results的后置定语，备选选项中符合要求的只有D, K和L，首先排除L选项shocked，因为结果不可能被一群人震惊。在D和K的取舍上，其实不管是某种结果“被证实”，还是“被发布”都说得通，但因为D在后文中的一个选项更适合，所以本题选择K。

40. J 本空所在分句 “_____from … to a…”前后各有一个逗号，说明这部分作为插入语修饰主语everyone of the participants, 因此本空需要动词的现在分词或过去分词形式，在备选选项中range from… to …是固定搭配，表示“从…到…”，选择J答案。

41. M 空前是定冠词the，空后是名词presence（存在），本空应该填形容词。已知部分可以翻译成“尽管…的这些化学制品的存在不能…表示有健康的风险”，备选选项B, D, E, F, L, M中，B, F和L因为语意出入太大首先排除。E选项的excess做形容词表示“过多的”，但文章的前一句话只是提到“每一个参与者都被检测出对这三种污染物是呈阳性的”，这并不能说明化学制品是过度存在，排除E。另外，根据这句话的意思我们可以发现这种化学制品的存在是很普遍的，因为M选项的simple最能够表达这一层含义。

42. H 空前是助动词的否定形式do not, 空后是动词indicate，本空只能填修饰动词的副词，备选选项中只有G和H是动词，结合这句话的意思“尽管被证实的这些化学制品的存在并不…表示有健康的风险”，显然necessarily更符合句子的意思，选择H。

43. L 前半句话中的while在这里表示“尽管”，引导一个让步状语从句，因此主句的 “the fACT….participants”应该是一个完整的句子。同时主句中主语是the fACT并且引导了一个同位语从句，主句的大致意思可以理解为“典型的美国人都携带这些化学制品的事实…了June和其他的参与者”。由此可知本句缺少主句的谓语，这一空需要动词。但是本空所需动词的时态是一个需要斟酌的细节，首先，假设这一空需要的是一般现在时，既然主语是the fACT那么动词就一定得是第三人称单数形式，而选项中只有A和O符合这一要求，但再结合词意会发现，一个表示分析一个表示追踪，都说不通，因此这一空只能填动词的过去式，但这一时态的要求在已知句子里是看不出来的，所以很容易引起同学们的纠结。可选的动词过去式就只剩下L选项shocked，因此本题选择L。

44. C 空前是don’t，空后是副词there，因此本空需要动词原形，备选答案只有belong，结合句意翻译成“很明显，我们的身体里存在着一些不属于那的化学制品”，完全正确，选择C答案。

45. B 空前是不定冠词an，空后是介词of，本空缺可数名词的单数形式，且为元音开头，锁定B答案。
