四级作文
中国教育在线讯 2012年12月22日全国大学英语四、六级考试开考，本次考试报考人数达938万人。中国教育在线外语频道为广大考生搜集了英语四级作文答案，以供广大考生参考：
Education: A wealthy Entertainment(这个单词不确定)
A wealthy earnings in 2010
Doctoral degree 1,XXX （看不清楚的一个四位数） Master's degree 1,XXX (小于上边数字的四位数) Bachelor's degree 1,XXX （小于上边数字的四位数） Some college XX（看不清） degree 712
High school degree 626
Less than a high school degree 444
范文： (沪江版本)
Education Pays
The above bar chart clearly shows us education pays in 2010. We see that one with higher education background earns more money weekly than those with lower ones. For instance, the college students with no degree get paid $712 per week whereas those with a Bachelor’s degree can earn $1038.
Several reasons, in my opinion, can be identified to account for this
phenomenon. To begin with, compared with those with comparatively lower education degree, people who have received higher education possess
considerably wider knowledge, more remarkable learning and research ability, greater innovation and most of all, resourceful social network, all of which are essential to a high-income work. Also, the higher one’s education degree is, the bigger platform he will have to show his ability. For example, his college, university, or research institute will organize various job fairs for them to communicate face to face with employers。
This phenomenon tells us that education is a worthy investment. Therefore, substantial education investment should be strengthened while we, as college students, should study harder to build our country and strive for a better life for ourselves。

Education Pays
What is shown in the chart above is that those people with high degree earn more than those with lower. For example, staff with master’s degree receive a better payment than those with bachelor’s degree, according to a survey of the payment to the employee. These survey indicates that education degree does have a relationship with earnings, contrary to the recent theory of useless education。
Recently, there is a heated discussion about the significance of the education. Some people hold a view that higher education is useless since college education cannot mesh with the social needs. Some think that higher educations
indispensable if you want to go far in both your studies and life. Now that survey has proved which part is wiser。
As for me, I definitely support the view that education is necessary for people’s life. Reading can not only make me survive well in this society with fierce competition but also help me make sense of life. I pursue for it for my whole life。
（新东方版本）
Education Pays
From the bar chart given above, we can observe that it reflects the statistics of income among people of different educational background. Those who possess a doctoral degree earn 1,551dollars median weekly, ranking first among people of other education level. The median weekly earnings of people with associate degree and below can not reach the average of 797 dollars, ranking from 768 dollars to 451 dollars. As for the unemployment rate, 2.5 % of people with doctoral degree will suffer form unemployment. However, the unemployment rate of people with some college, no degree and lower degree surpass the mean value of 7.6%， ranking from 8.7% to 14.1%。
The bar chart of Education Pays reveals a phenomenon that there exits
some difference in incomes and unemployment rate among people with different educational level. Quite a few reasons can account for this phenomenon: for one thing, with the advancement of technology and the adjustment of industrial structure, quite a few high-tech industries emerge overnight, which leads to a soar demand of workforces with high educational degree, thus, it is natural that graduates with bachelor’ and higher degree get a high pay-packet and enjoy a stable job. Additionally, those with educational background under associate degree are easily dismissed and paid by low salary. They can be replaced any
time due to the fact that their jobs are easy and can be finished by average people。 Definitely, the higher education degree you get, the more likely you are to enjoy a competitive edge in the employment market. Thus, the authorities should enforce some policies to ensure the equity of education. Only in this way can more people lead a stable and comfortable life。

Part III Listening Comprehension Section A 11.
W: I just heard about a really beautiful park in the east end of the town. There are a lot of roses in bloom.
M: Why don’t we walk over there and see for ourselves? Q: What will the speakers probably do? 12.
M: My presentation is scheduled for 9:30 tomorrow morning at the lecture hall.
I hope to see you there.
W: Oh, sorry. I was about to tell you that I have an appointment with my dentist at 9:00 o’clock tomorrow.
Q: What do we learn about the woman? 13.
W: How long have you been running this company?
M: Twenty years if you can believe that. I brought it from a small operation to what it is today.
Q: What do we learn about the man? 14.
M: Have you read the news on the campus net? Susan has won the scholarship for next year.
W: I knew she would from the very beginning. Such a brilliant and diligent girl! She certainly deserves it. Q: What does the woman mean? 15.
W: Taking a bus to Miami, it’s cheaper than going by train.
M: That’s true. But I’d rather pay a little more for the added comfort and convenience.
Q: What does the man mean? 16.
M: I think it’s time we got rid of all this old furniture.
W: You’re right. We need to promote our image besides it’s not a real antique. Q: What do the speakers mean? 17.
M: That was some storm yesterday. How was I afraid I couldn’t make it home. W: Yeah, most of the roads to my house were flooded. I didn’t get home from the lab until midnight.
Q: What do we learn from the conversation? 18.
W: My boys are always complaining that they’re bored.
M: Why don’t you get them into some team sports? My son and daughter play
soccer every Saturday. And they both look forward to it all week. Q: What does the man mean?
Questions 19 to 21 are based on the conversation you have just heard W: So John, I hear you and Arthur share a job, don’t you?
M: Yes. We’ve shared a sales job at Sonatech for about two years now. W: Well, how do you divide up your schedule?
M: You know we are both sales representatives, and we take orders over the phone. When we started job sharing it was difficult, because we both worked all day Monday. I worked Tuesday and Thursday and Arthur worked Wednesday and Friday. The problem was that when I was in the office on Tuesday. I would talk to people, then they would call back on Wednesday with a question. But Arthur couldn’t answer the question and he couldn’t ask me about it because I wasn’t in the office. So he had to ask the people to call me back the next day, Thursday. Of course, they didn’t like to wait until the next day to have their questions answered.
W: Yes, that sounds like a problem.
M: So, finally we decided that Arthur would work in the mornings and I would work in the afternoons. Now if someone calls with the question for me in the morning, Arthur tells them to call me in the afternoon. This way, people get their questions answered the same day. W: What do you do about vacations?
M: Well, Sonatech gives the usual two weeks of vacation to full-time employees, I take a week and Arthur takes a week.
W: It sounds like job sharing has worked out well for you. M: Yes, it has. We are both happy with it. Q19. What do John and author do at Sonatech?
Q20. What problem did John and Arthur have when they started job sharing? Q21. What does John say about their annual vacation?
Questions 22 to 25 are based on the conversation you have just heard W: May I see your license, please? M: But officer, did I do something wrong?
W: Do you mean to say you didn’t see the speed limit sign back there? M: Um, no, madam, I guess I didn’t.
W: In other words, you drove by too fast to read it. The sign says 35m/h. A
school is just nearby, you know?
M: Don’t get me wrong, but my speedometer didn’t read much faster than that. W: Then, why is it that my radar showed you are going 45? Let me put it another way. I’m going to give you a ticket. Again, may I see your license, please? M: Here it is, officer. But let me explain. I was late for an important appointment and I was worried that I wouldn’t make it on time. So...
W: Uha, just a minute, here. Your license is no longer valid. You should have renewed it two weeks ago. I’m going to have to write you up for that, too. M: What? Really?
W: Your license becomes invalid on your birthday and that was two weeks ago according to the date here. You are in violation of the law—driving without a valid license.
M: I’m sorry, madam. I hadn’t realized that.
W: Here’s the ticket for not having a valid license. But I’m only going to give you a warning about exceeding the speed limit. Be careful next time. M: Yes, madam, officer, I will. Thank you.
Q22. Where was the man stopped by the police officer? Q23. What did the man claim about the speed limit sign? Q24. What did the woman say about the man’s driving license? Q25. What was the man’s penalty? Section B Passage 1
Since I started working part-time at a grocery store, I have learned that a customer is more than someone who buy something. To me, a customer is a person whose memory fails entirely once he or she starts to push a shopping card. One of the first things customers forget is how to count. There is no other way to explain how so many people get in their express line, which is clearly marked 15 items or less, with 20, 25 or even a cart load of items. Customers also forget why they came to the store in the first place. Just as I finish ringing up an order, a customer will say, “Oops, I forgot to pick up a fresh loaf of bread. I hope you don’t mind waiting while I go get it.” Five minutes later, he’s back with the bread, a bottle of milk, and three rolls of paper towels. Strange is that seems customers also seem to forget that they have to pay for their groceries. Instead of writing a check or looking for a credit card while I am ringing up the
groceries, my customers will wait until I announce the total. Then, in surprise, she says, “Oh no, what did I do with my check book?” After 5 minutes of digging through her purse, she borrows my pen because she’s forgotten hers. But I have to be tolerant of customers because they pay my salary, and that’s something I can’t afford to forget.
Q26. What does the speaker say about customers’ entering the grocery store? Q27. Which customers are supposed to be in the express line?
Q28. What does the speaker say some customers do when they arrive at the check-out counter?
Q29. What does the speaker say about his job at the end of the talk? Passage 2
The speech delivery style of Europeans and Asians tends to be very formal. Speakers of these cultures often read oral presentations from carefully retain manual scripts. On the other hand, American speakers are generally more informal relative to speakers and other cultures. American audiences prefer natural, spontaneous delivery that conveys a lively sense of communication. They don’t relay well to speakers who read from a manual script. If you use an outline of your ideas instead of a prepare text, your speech will not only sound more natural, but you will also be able to establish better relationship with your listeners and keep their attention. The language and style you use when making an oral presentation should not be the same as the language in style you use when writing. Well retain information, that is meant to be read, does not work as well when it is heard. It is, therefore, important for you to adapt retain texts or outlines for presentations. Good speakers are much more informal when speaking than when writing. They also use their own words and develop their own speaking styles. Whenever possible, they use short words. Listeners are appreciated when speakers use simple, everyday words in a presentation. One advantage is that it is much easier for speakers to pronounce short words correctly. Another is that long and sophisticated vocabulary choices make listening more difficult. Question 30 to 32
30. What does the speaker say American audiences prefer?
31. What should one pay attention to when making an oral presentation? 32. What does the speaker focus on in the talk?
Passage 3
Let children learn to judge their own work
A child learning to talk does not learn by being corrected all the time. If corrected too much, he will stop talking. He compares a thousand times a day the difference between language as he uses it and language as those around him use it. Bit by bit, he makes the necessary changes to make his language like other people’s. In the same way, kids learning to do all the other things they learn without adult teachers, to walk, run, climb, ride a bike, play games, compare their own performance with what more skilled people do, and slowly make the needed changes. But in school we never give a child a chance to detect his mistakes. We do it all for him. We act as if we thought he would never notice a mistake unless it was pointed out to him. Soon he becomes dependent on the expert. We should let him do it himself. Let him figure out, with the help of other children if he wants it, what this word says, what is the answer to that problem, whether this is a good way of saying or doing this or that.
If right answers need to be given, as in mathematics or science, give him the answer book. Let him correct his own papers. Why should we teachers waste time on such tedious work? Our job should be to help the children when they tell us that they can’t find the way to get the right answer.
Question 33 to 35 are based on the passage you have just heard. Q33 How does a child learn to do something according to the speaker? Q34 What belief do teachers commonly hold according to the speaker? Q35 What does the speaker imply about the current way of teaching? Section C复合式听写
Time is, for the average American, of utmost importance. To the foreign visitor, Americans seem to be more concerned with getting things accomplished on time (according to a predetermined schedule) than they are with developing deep interpersonal relations. Schedules, for the American, are meant to be planned and then followed in the smallest detail.
It may seem to you that most Americans are completely controlled by the little machines they wear on their wrists, cutting their discussions off abruptly to make it to their next appointment on time.
Americans’ language is filled with references to time, giving a clear indication of how much it is valued. Time is something to be “on,” to be “kept,” “filled,”
“saved,” “wasted,” “gained,” “planned,” “given,” “made the most of,” even “killed.”
The international visitor soon learns that it is considered very rude to be late -- even by 10 minutes -- for an appointment in America.
Time is so valued in America, because by considering time to be important one can clearly achieve more than if one “wastes” time and doesn’t keep busy. This philosophy has proven its worth. It has enabled Americans to be extremely productive, and productivity itself is highly valued in America. Many American proverbs stress the value of guarding time, using it wisely, and setting and working toward specific goals. Americans believe in spending their time and energy today so that the fruits of their labor may be enjoyed at a later time.

四级听力长对话包含两个对话：Conversation One、Conversation Two Part III Listening Comprehension Section B
Conversation One 点评：
本长对话的内容主要是关于合伙工作。对话内容相较以往的长对话而言，比较简单。依然是主要针对回答问题的人提问，就是对话中的男士。男士一开始主要是谈他们在最初开始合作工作时遇到的问题，接下来谈到问题最终如何得到解决，最后是他和同伴如何轮休年假。当然，对话中公司名称听不懂，形成干扰。依然要强调的是不能纠结个别词汇，而因小失大。
对话中围绕工作的话题词汇有：schedule：（工作）计划，安排；sales representative：销售代表；vacation：假期，休假；full-time employee：全职员工。 Conversation Two 点评：
本长对话主要是关于超速被罚。本对话中涉及到较多交通词汇，有一定难度。对话一开始女士作为交警在学校附近逼停超出该路段限速的男士，但男士狡辩自己的速度计（speedometer）并没显示超速；女士再次提出要求审查男士的驾照，发现其驾照已经过期。最后，男士因驾照过期而收到警告。本选材非常生活化，相信大部分考生应该对这一话题并不陌生，通过日常常识也能做出不少判断。
本对话中关于交通话题的词汇：speed limit：限速；give you a ticket：开罚单；license ：执照，驾照；speedometer：n. 速度计；里程计。 Section C
【点评】本文讨论的是美国人的时间观念。开头提出美国人非常看重时间规划，以至于到了被认为“手表控制人”的地步，接下来从语言角度给出证明，最后又从原因角度解释说明。
本文的难点在于，开头有长难句，包含插入语、比较级等，容易造成困扰。而在语言角度探讨时，有给出一系列动词，容易出现漏听及注意力分散。同时，utmost, abruptly, reference, philosophy, productivity等较难词汇也会带来一定困扰。
空格整体分布较为均匀，除第三段两空间隔较近，第二个容易错过外，其它空填写时间均较为充足。所填词语格式比较重要，如-ed，-s等均是不可漏过的细节。
末日逃不到世界尽头，还会依然在末日+1天带来按部就班的四级。从今天上午的四级听力最新真题来看，信末日被动待命不如信科学主动把握规律。听力形式一切如常，语速110词-120词/分;英美音交替，题点分布等等。
特别值得为广大学员开心的是，上午听力考试中所出现的破题词汇，多数是在南京新东方的听力课堂经历过反复的拼读训练!!并且课堂上总结的听力出题规律再次重现!
以短对话部分八道题为例，11题推断题，只要经历过听力课堂训练，必会过滤出Why don’t we...核心句型——两者交流委婉态度建议句，进而提前敏感播读内容。12题的场景核心实词presentation; schedule; lecture hall; appointment; 特别是一号破题词dentist全部命中，孩子们，当耳畔飘荡着熟悉的单词是不是信心就爆棚了：)13题operation的熟词僻义不仅听力老师涉及，词汇，阅读等等单项授课老师也都反复总结。14题scholarship课堂已确定为中心校园词，破题为生活短语deserve it, 从生活出发的听力训练理念得到再次验证，“应得的，活该”童鞋们觉得亲切吗：)15题传统but 题。信东方，不会错，老师说过，听力试卷有BUT就为出题。关键是经过训练的童鞋一定能听出各种变态的but了吧：)16题 promote;image 定位准确了是这两个课堂提出的高频词了：)17题make it 准时到达，见课堂高频听力短语训练。18题Why don’ t you AGAIN!!
综上来看，语涵老师在之前听力课堂的训练中，已把这一次短对话部分破题词汇和句型基本全部覆盖在内，只要把握规律，反复操练，拼读结合，听力部分开始之前，能感受到童鞋们的脸上不再是紧缩眉头紧闭双唇，取而代之是充分享受学习的进步带来的知识的通透，发现英语语言其实可以很生活，很人文，很美好，很时尚。
