解析】
写作题考察了同学们的写作能力，要求在
30
分钟内完成，时间有限，因此在备战英语四
级的时候，平时应积累一些模版
，多背一些精彩的句子，在平时的练习中，应该在
20
分钟内完
成
一篇不少于
150
词的作文，下面给
出以下几点建议：
一，写作中，字体要工整，改卷老师在批改
四级作文的时候，由于任务量大，再加上批改时视觉疲
劳，
不可
能对每一篇作文都看得那么仔细，
有时候就凭卷面的第一印象打分，
因此字体美观大方能
提高作文的分数；
< br>二，注意段落结构，写作时，应带有题目，一般分三段进行，第一段总体概述，引出正文，第二段
详细阐述文档内容，要分条理进行，比如，
firstly
，
secondly
，等，正文一般
4-6
句话阐述完毕，第
三段总结正文部分，回归主题
。
三，写作要注重语法结构，不要出现明显的语法错误，否则
扣分较多，影响总体成绩。
四，遇到不会写的词，要用其他相关的词语表达。

Conversation One
M: What’s
all that? Are you going to make a
salad?
W: No, I’m going to
make a gazpacho
.
M: What’s
that?
W:
【

】
Gazpacho is a cold soup from Spain.
It’s mostly vegetables. I guess you
could
call it a liquid salad.
M: Cold soup? Sounds weird.
W: It’s delicious. Trust me! I tried it
for the first time during my summer vacation in
Spain.
You see, in the south of Spain,
it gets very hot in summer, up to
42
℃
, so a cold gazpacho
is very refreshing. The main
ingredients are tomato, cucumber, bell peppers,
olive oil and
stale bread.
M: Stale bread? Surely you mean bread
for dipping into the soup.
W: No. Bread
is crushed and blended in, like everything
else.
【
2
】
It
adds texture and
thickness to the soup.
M:
【
3
】
Mmm…
And is it healthy?
W:
Sure. As I said earlier,
it’s mostly vegetables.
You
can also add different things if
you
like such as half-boiled egg or cured ham.
M: Cured ham? What’s that?
W: That’s another Spanish delicacy.
Have you never heard of it? It’s quite
famous.
M: No. Is it good
too?
W:
Oh,
yeah,
definitely.
It’s
amazing.
It’s
a
little
dry
and
salty.
【

】
And
it
is
very
expensive because it comes from a
special type of pig that only eats a special type

food.
The ham is covered in
salt to dry and preserve it, and left to hang for
up to two years.
It has a very distinct
favor.
M: Mmm, sounds interesting.
Where can I find some?
W: It used
to be difficult to get Spanish produce
here, but it’s now a lot more common.
Most large supermarket chains have
cured ham in little packets. But in Spain, you can
buy
a whole leg.
M: A whole
pig leg? Why would anybody want so much ham?
W: In Spain,
many people buy
a whole leg for special group events such as
Christmas.
They cut it themselves into
very thin slices with a long flat
knife.

M:
Hello, I wish to buy a bottle of wine.
W: Hi, yes. What kind of wine would you
like?
M: I don
’
t
know. Sorry, I don
’
t know
much about wine.
W:
That
’
s no problem at all.
What
’
s the occasion and how
much would you like to
spend?
M: It
’
s for my
boss. It
’
s his birthday. I
know he likes wine, but I
don
’
t know what
type. I also do not want anything too
expensive. Maybe mid-range. How much would
you say is a mid-range bottle of a wine
approximately?
W: Well, it varies
greatly.
【
5
】
Our lowest prices are around $$6 a bottle, but
those are
table wines. They are not
very special and I would not suggest them as a
gift.
On the
other end, our
most expensive bottles are over $$150. If you are
looking for something
priced in the
middle, I would say anything between $$30 and $$60
would make a decent
gift. How does that
sound?
M:
Mmm,
yeah.
，
【
6
】
I
guess
something
in
the
vicinity
of
30
or
40
would
be
good.
Which
type would you recommend?
W:
【
7
】
I
would say the safest option is always a red wine.
They are generally more
popular than
whites and can usually be paired with food more
easily.
Our specialty
here
are Italian wines, and these tend to be fruity
with medium acidity.
【
8-1
】
This
one
here
is
a
Chianti
which
is
perhaps
Italy
’
s
most
famous
type
of
red
wine.
Alternatively, you may wish to try and
surprise your boss with something less
common such as this Zinfandel. The
grapes are originally native to Croatia, but this
winery
is
in
eastern
Italy.
And
it
has
a
more
spicy
and
peppery
flavor.
So,
to
summarize,
the
Chianti
is
more
classical
and
Zinfandel
more
exciting.
Both

Many people enjoy secret codes. The harder the
code, the more some people
will try to
figure it out.
In war time, codes are
especially important. They help army
send
news
about
battles
and
the
size
of
enemy
forces.
Neither
side
wants
its
codes
broken by the other.
【
11
】
One very important code was never broken. It was
used
during World War
Ⅱ
by the Americans. It was a
spoken
code never written down.
And
it
was
developed
and
used
by
Navajo
Indians.
They
were
called
“
the
Navajo
code talkers
”
.
The Navajos created the code in their own
language. Navajo is hard to
learn, and
only a few people know it. So it was pretty
certain that the enemy would
not be
able to understand the code talkers. In addition,
the talkers used code words.
They
called a submarine an iron fish and a small bomb
thrown by hand a potato. If
they wanted
to spell something, they used code words for
letters of the Alphabet. For

instance, the letter A was ant or apple
or ax.
The code talkers worked
mostly in the islands in the Pacific. One or two
would be
assigned to a group of
soldiers. They would send messages by field
telephone to the
code
talker
in
the
next
group.
And
he
would
relay
the
information
to
his
commander.
【

】
The code
talkers played an important part in several
battles. They
helped
troops
coordinate
their
movements
and
attacks.
After
the
war,
the
U.S.
government
honored
them
for
what
they
had
accomplished.

was
the
most
successful wartime code ever used.

American
researchers
have
discovered
the
world
’
s
oldest
paved
road,
a
4,600-year-old highway.
【
16
】
It linked
a
stone
pit
in
the
Egyptian
desert
to
waterways that carried blocks to
monument sites along the Nile.
The
eight-mile road is at least 500 years older than
any previously discovered road.
It is
the only paved road discovered in ancient Egypt,
said geologist Thomas Bown of
the
U.S.
Geological
Survey.
He
reported
the
discovery
on
Friday.
“
The
road
probably
doesn
’
t rank with the
pyramids as a construction feat, but it is a major
engineering
achievement,
”
said
his
colleague,
geologist
James
Harrell
of
the
University
of
Toledo.
“
Not
only
is
the
road
earlier
than
we
thought
possible,
we
didn
’
t even think
they built roads.
”
【
17
】
The researchers also made a discovery
in the stone pit at the northern end of
the
road:
the
first
evidence
that
the
Egyptians
used
rock
saws.
“

example
of
saws
being
used
for
cutting
stone,
”
said
Bown
’
s
colleague
James
Hoffmeier of Wheaton College in
Illinois.
“
That
’<
/p>
s two technologies we
didn
’
t know
they
had,
”
Harrell
said.
“
And we
don
’
t know why they were
both abandoned.
”
The
road was
discovered in
the
Faiyum
Depression,
about
45
miles
southwest
of
Cairo. Short segments of the road had
been observed by earlier explorers, Bown said,
but they failed to realize its
significance or follow up on their observations.
Bown and
his
colleagues
stumbled
across
it
while
they
were
doing
geological
mapping
in
the
region.
【

8
】
The road was clearly built
to provide services for the newly discovered stone
pit.
Bown and Harrell have
found the camp that housed workers at the stone
pit. The
road appears today to go
nowhere, ending in the middle of the desert. When
it was
built, its terminal was a dock
on the shore of Lake Moeris, which had an
elevation of
about 66 feet above sea
level, the same as the dock.
Lake
Moeris received its water from the annual floods
of the Nile. At the time of
the floods,
the river and lake were at the same level and
connected through a gap in
the hills
near the modern villages of el-Lahun and Hawara.
Harrell and Bown believe
that blocks
were loaded onto barges during the dry season,
then floated over to the
Nile during
the floods to be shipped off to the monument sites
at Giza and Saqqara.

two
expensive,
uncomfortable medical tests had failed
to produce even a diagnosis.
“
Maybe you lean

During

uncovered clues towards what was going
wrong by researching a fascinating subject:
How birth order affects not only your
personality but also how compatible you are
with your mate.
< br>【

Ronald and
Louis are only children, and
“

”
grow up accustomed
to be
the
apple
of
parents

Match
two
“

”
,
and
you
have
partners
who
subconsciously expect each other to
continue fulfilling this expectation, while
neither
has
much
experience
in
the
giving

Here
is
a
list
of
common
birth
order
characteristics,
and
some
thoughts
on
the
best
and
worst
marriage
or
matches
for
each.
【

】
The oldest tends to be
self-assured, responsible, a high-achiever and
relatively
serious and reserved.
He may be slow to make friends, perhaps
content with only one
companion.
The
best
matches
are
with
a
youngest,
an
only
or
a
mate
raised
in
a
large family.
The
worst
match
is
with
another
oldest,
since
the
two
will
be
too
sovereign to share a
household comfortably.
The
youngest
child
of
the family
thrives on
attention,
and
tends
to
be out-going,
adventurous,
optimistic,
creative
and
less
ambitious
than
others
in
the
family.
He
may
lack self-discipline, and have difficulty making
decisions on his own.
A youngest
brother of brothers, often unpredictable and
romantic, will match best
with an
oldest sister of brothers. The youngest sister of
brothers is best matched with
an oldest
brother of sisters who will happily indulge these
traits.
The middle child is
influenced by many variables. However,
“
middles
”
are less
likely to take
initiative, and more anxious and self-critical
than others.
“
Middles
”
often successfully
marry other
“
middles

The only child is often

individual,

to

The male only child
expects his wife to make life easier without
getting much
in return. He is sometimes
best matched with a younger sister of brothers.
The female
only child who tends to be
slightly more flexible is well matched with an
older man
who will indulge her

Her worst match?
Another only.

When Elon Musk says that his new
priority is using artificial intelligence to build
domestic robots,
we should look forward
to the day in admiration.

companies,
Tesla

(27)_______

(29)_______
that

:

we

generally

these
problems
with speed and care.
And
just think of how wonderful it would be if you had
a live-in robot. It could, (31)_______, be
like having a babysitter and a nurse
rolled into one
—
or, if that
required (32)_______ intelligence beyond
the power of Mr.

and mow
the lawn. Once purchased and

save money and
time,
freeing up (34)_______space in our busy
lives to read a good book.
That is why
we welcome Mr. Musk' s latest (35)_______ , and

human
happiness,
reduce
suffering,
and
create
time

In the Real World, Nobody Cares that
You Went to an Ivy League School
[A]
【

As
a high school junior, everything in my life
revolved around getting into the right college.
I diligently attended my SAT, ACT, and
Advanced Placement test preparation courses. I
juggled
(

cross-
country
and
track
schedules,
newspaper
staff,
and
my
church's
youth
group
and
drama
team. I didn't drink, party, or even do much
dating. The right college, I thought, was one
with
prestige,
one
with
a
name.
It
didn't
have
to
be
the
Ivy
League,
but
it
needed

Looking
back now, nine years later, I
can't
remember exactly what it was about these
universities that made them seem
so
much better.
Was it a curriculum that appeared more
rigorous,
perhaps? Or an alumni network
that I hoped would open doors down the line?
Maybe.

education at the
University of Pennsylvania.
[C]
In
reflection,
my
firm
belief
in
the
power
of
the
brand
was
naive,
not
to
mention
a
bit
snobby.
I
quickly
passed over state schools and southern schools,
believing their curriculums to be automatically
inferior to northeastern or western
counterparts. Instead, I dreamed of living in New
York City and my
parents obliged me
with a visit to New York University's
(NYU) campus. During the tour, tuition
fees
were discussed. (NYU is
consistently ranked one of the country, s most
expensive schools, with room and
board
costs totaling upwards of $$64,000 a year.
)
【

】
Up until then, I hadn't truly realized
just how
expensive an education can be.
Over
the
next few
months,
I
realized not only
could
I not
afford my
dream
school,
I
couldn't
even
afford
the
ones
where
I'd
been
accepted.
City
University
of
New
York
(CUNY)
，
Rutgers
University, and Indiana University were out of
reach as were Mississippi State and the
University
of
Alabama,
where
I
would
have
to
pay
out-of-state
fees.
Further
complicating
my
college
search was a
flourishing track career
—
I
wanted to keep running but my times weren't quite
fast enough to
secure a scholarship.
[D] And so, at 11 pm on the night of
Georgia State University's (GSU) midnight
deadline, I applied online.
Rated No.
466 overall on Forbes' Lists Top Colleges, No. 183
in Research Universities, and No. 108 in
the South, I can't say it was my top
choice. Still, the track coach had offered me a
walk-on spot, and I
actually found the
urban Atlanta campus a decent consolation prize
after New York City.

While
it
may
have
been
practical,
it
wasn't

(I
use
the
term
cautiously,
because
GSU
is
a
well-regarded research
institution that attracts high quality professors
and faculty from all over the
country.
) We are taught to believe that only by going to
the best schools and getting the best grades
can we escape the rat race and build a
better future. But what if lower-tier colleges and
universities
were the ticket to
escaping the rat race? After
all
，
where else can you leave
school with a decent
degree
—
but
without a lifetime of debt?
[F] My
school didn
’
t come pre-
packaged like the more popular options, so we were
left to take care of
ourselves,
figuring out city life and trying to complete
degree programs that no one was championing for
us to succeed in. What I'm saying is, I
loved my university because it taught us all to be
resourceful and
we could make what we
wanted out of it.
[G] I was lucky
enough to have my tuition covered by a lottery-
funded scholarship called HOPE (Helping
Outstanding Pupils Educationally). When
I started college, the HOPE scholarship was funded
by the state
of Georgia and offered to
graduating high school seniors with a GPA of 3. 0
or higher.

deceased grandfather left for

what
about all that

(

journalist, I have competed against NYU, Columbia,

According to The
Boston Globe, students who earned their bachelor's
in 2012 have an
average monthly loan

those who graduated in 2004.
Ultimately, that's the thing
universities
don't want to admit.
Private universities are money-making
institutions. If you can afford to buy
prestige, that's your choice. For the rest of us,
however, our hearty
lower-tiered
universities are just fine, thank you.
