6 被动句

在主动句占绝大多数的情况下,被动句能带来一些变化.

e.g. However, very little control can be exercised over the media used to generate information that comes to you from the outside.

7 倒装句

倒装句不仅带来句型的丰富,而且在句子的连贯上,平衡上也有一定的作用.

e.g. From that science will come the realization that despite technology, man dose not exercise dominion over nature.

8 名词化句子

正式文体中,名词化句子的运用显得语言表达更成熟.

e.g. Heavy exposure to TV will interfere with ones studies. (Watching too much TV will affect your studies.)

9 运用破折号

运用破折号不仅对句子变化有帮助,而且有强调的作用.

英语四级作文汇总(共20篇)

1、Writing Directions: for this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled Is the Ban on Abusive Language Online Helpful? You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below. 1．对网上不文明语言的禁令引起热议 2．有人认为禁令有效，也有人认为禁令无意义 3．我的观点 Is the Ban on Abusive Language Online Helpful? Recently, the topic whether the ban on abusive language on the Internet is helpful or not has aroused great attention and debate. Some people believe it helpful while others doubt its effectiveness. Those in favor of this move state that imposing the ban on online abuse is a counterattack against the deterioration of the communication method on the Internet. More significantly, it’s no doubt that the ban gives positive guidance to either netizens or the public and helps encourage higher morality. However, other people oppose that the ban, as a matter of fact, is unnecessary and difficult to practice, for the users can well disguise their true identity. Furthermore, morality should be something rooted in an individual’s heart so to underline the ban will do nothing to encourage people to be more polite. Personally speaking, I agree with the former opinion. Abusive language online, in most cases illogical, is a desperate insult to suppress others’ ideas. Thus, ban concerning this issue can offer helpful instructions to the netizens. In addition, it also contributes to promoting the moral standards of the whole society.

They range from traditional outdoor activities such as playing ball games to all kinds of online ones. Some people think those various recreational activities brought by modern technology are great and necessary because they can help people relax from hard work and study and broaden people’horizon. However, some people think that too many recreational activities may have a bad effect on people’s lives. Some people may not resist some temptations and indulge themselves in those activities, such as the online games. At last they are lured away from their studies, work and interpersonal relationships. In my opinion, we should pay more attention to the advantages of various recreational activities and make the most of them to enrich our lives and broaden the scope of knowledge.

2016年6月大学英语四级第三套真题及答案

2016年6月大学英语四级真题（第3套） PartIII Reading Comprehension Section A Directions:In this section, there is a passage with ten blanks. You are required to select one word for each blank from a list of choices given in a word bank following the passage. Read the passage through carefully before making your choices. Each choice in the bank is identified by a letter. Please mark the corresponding letter for each item on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre. You may not use any of the words in the bank more than once. Physical activity does the body good, and there?s growing evidence that it helps the brain too. Researchers in the Netherlands report that children who get more exercise, whether at school or on their own, 26to have higher GPAs and better scores on standardized tests. In a 27of 14 studies that looked at physical activity and academic28, investigators found that the more children moved, the better their grades were in school, 29in the basic subjects of math, English and reading. The data will certainly fuel the ongoing debate over whether physical education classes should be cut as schools struggle to 30on smaller budgets. The arguments against physical education have included concerns that gym time may be taking away from study time. With standardized test scores in the U.S. 31in recent years, some administrators believe students need to spend more time in the classroom instead of on the playground. But as these findings show, exercise and academics may not be 32exclusive. Physical activity can improve blood 33to the brain, fueling memory, attention and creativity, which are 34to learning. And exercise releases hormones that can improve 35and relieve stress, which can also help learning. So while it may seem as if kids are just exercising their bodies when they?re running around, they may actually be exercising their brains as well. Section B Directions: In this section, you are going to read a passage with ten statements attached to it. Each statement contains information given in one of the paragraphs. Identify the paragraph from which the information is derived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph ismarked with a letter. Answer the questions by marking the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2. Finding the Right Home—and Contentment, Too [A] When your elderly relative needs to enter some sort of long-term care facility—a moment few parents or children approach without fear—what you would like is to have everything made clear. [B] Does assisted living really mark a great improvement over a nursing home, or has the industry simply hired better interior designers? Are nursing homes as bad as people fear, or is that an out-moded stereotype（固定看法)? Can doing one?s homework really steer families to the best places? It is genuinely hard to know.
