第四章大学英语四级考试写作题型

CET4大学英语四级考试写作题型2第四章大学英语四级考试写作题型根据教育部颁布的大学英语教学大纲的要求，大学英语四级考试的命题形式有以下几种：首尾句作文、提纲作文、图表作文、命题作文、书信体作文等。第一节首尾句作文首尾句作文是根据段首（尾）句续写短文。段首句作文也称主题句作文，因为作文题中所给的段首句往往是段落主题句。其特点是以题目为中心，一般情况下将文章分为三个段落，每段首句即为该段的主题句（topicsentences）。考生要按主题句的要求组织材料，提出论据，用一些辅助句（supportingsentences）来支持或说明主题句，写英文段首句作文要注意：所写的内容要紧扣主题，辅助句应围绕段首句续写。保证段内每个句子的内容与段首句紧密展开各个段落，如：例证、因果、定义、比较对比、程序等。要注意句与句之间，特别是段首句与辅助句之间的自然衔接。另外，所给的段首句有时是一个完整的句子，有时不是一个完整的句子，只是句子的一部分，这就要求考生一定要审好题。找出其中表示中心思想的关键词，围绕这些关键词去扩展、描述或说明。［例1］Directions:Forthispart,youareallowed30minutestowriteacompositionaboutWomenintheModernWorldinthreeparagraphs.Youaregiventhefirstsentenceofeachparagraphandarerequiredtodeveloptheideaincompletingtheparagraph;yourpartofthecompositionshouldbeabout100words,notincludingthewordsgiven.Remembertowriteclearly.［范文］WomenintheModernWorldWomenareplayinganincreasinglyimportantroleinsociety.Successfulwomenwhoaregovernmentofficials,writers,scientists,doctorsandteacherscanbefoundeverywhere.Itistruethatmanyjobsthatonceweredominatedbymencanbedonewellbywomen.Withthechangesintheirsocialrole,womenspositioninthefamilyhasbeenimprovedaswell.Thehusbandisnolongertheonlybreadmakerinthefamilyandthewifenolongerlivesonothers.Theysharecomfortsandhardshipswitheachother.Inspiteofthesechanges,theliberationofwomenhasnotbeencompletelyrealized.Womenstillfacemanydifficultiesandobstaclesduetotraditionalrolesandlimitedeconomicstrength.Womenstillhavealongwaytogointheirstruggleforcompleteequalitywithmen.第一段首句是讲妇女在社会上的作用，因而续写的内容紧紧围绕妇女的社会作用，比如，妇女可以是政府机关的工作人员、科学家、教师等；第二句的段首句是关于妇女在家庭中的地位也提高了，续写的内容也是有关夫妻患难与共；第三句的段首句是讲妇女解放仍然任重而道远，续写的部分提出了妇女所面临的问题，整个续写的部分紧扣段首句。［例２］Directions:WriteacompositionaboutWhatWouldHappenIfThereWereNopowerinthreeparagraphs,youaregiventhefirstsentenceorpartofthefirst3sentenceofeachparagraph:1Eversinceearlythiscentury,electricityhasbecomeanessentialpartofourmodernlife.2Iftherewerenoelectricpower,...3Therefore,...［范文］WhatWouldHappenIfThereWereNoPowerEversinceearlythiscentury,electricityhasbecomeanessentialpartofourmodernlife.Ithasplayedadecisiveroleinthemodernworld.Everybodyadmitsthatdevelopmentofourcivilizationdependsonelectricity.Iftherewerenoelectricitypower,ourmodernworldwouldbeintrouble.Forinstance,allthewheelwouldstopbecausewithoutthepowerthemachinewouldceaseworking.Andalltheelectricalequipmentlifewouldbeimpossibleandinagreatmasswithoutelectricity.Therefore,weshouldmakebetteruseofelectivepower.Ontheotherhand,weshouldeducatepeopletoeconomizeonelectricityandnottowasteenergyresources.Atthesametimewemustdoourbesttoexploitmoreelectricresourcestomeettherequirementsofhumanbeings.第一段的段首句是讲电已经成为人们现代生活中必不可少的部分，因而接下来的续写部分应强调它的重要性。第二段的段首句提出如果没有电的假设，下面列出没有电将会出现的麻烦。最后一段指出我们应该节约用电，开拓更多的电力资源。第二节提纲作文提纲作文是要求考生根据所给出的作文题目和提纲（一般为中文提纲）进行写作。中文提纲大多是以三个单句的形式出现的。写提纲作文，首先要做的就是审题，并要仔细分析题目中所列举的提纲。审完题后应该根据提纲拟出三个英文的主题句，再在这些主题句的基础上扩展成文。在扩展的过程中一定要做到条理清楚，开门见山。［例1］Directions:Forthispart,youareallowed30minutestowriteacompositiononthetopicGoodHealthaccordingthefollowingoutline.Yourcompositionislessthan120words.Rememberthatthecontentsoftheoutlineshouldallbeincludedinyourcomposition.Outline:123［范文］GoodHealthGoodhealthisveryimportanttoeveryone.Withit,wecanstudyhard,wecanserveourcountry,wecandoeverythingaswelike.Withoutgoodhealth,everybodyknowsthatwewillfailtodothings.Wecan’tworkefficiently,wemaystayinhospital,wellbecomeaburdenofourfamily.4Inmyopinion,therearetwowaysforustokeepfit.First,wemusteatabalanceddiet.Thatistosay,wemusteatnotonlyeggs,fishandmeat,butalsosomevegetablesandfruiteveryday.Besideseatingproperly,drinkingcleanwaterisalsoimportant.Nevergetaddictedtodrinkingthesoftdrink.Second,exercisingisavitalpartofourdailylife.Wecandosomerunninginthemorningandplayfootballintheafternoon.Asauniversitystudent,Ipaymuchattentiontophysicalexercises.Idosomeswimminginsummerandsomeskatinginwinter.Ioftenplaybadmintonandtennis.Iamalsocarefulwithmydiet.Inaway,keepinghealthyisnotveryhardifyoujusttakeitseriously.文章开门见山就点出了主题：Goodhealthisveryimportanttoeveryone。然后作者很巧妙地用了with和without这两个介词从正反两个方面举出了具体的事例来支持自己的观点。另外，with和without这两个词常用于议论文中，用“正证法”和“反证法”来对各论点或观点进行论述。第二段的开头句紧扣提纲，概括地提出保持健康有两种方法，并且通过first,second这样的指示词,使所列举的事实条理化。最后一段告诉读者自己的做法，也紧扣了提纲。［例2］Directions:Forthispart,youareallowed30minutestowriteacompositiononthetopicCompetition.Yourcompositionshouldbelessthan120words.Rememberthatthecontentsoftheoutlineshouldallbeincludedinyourcomposition.Outline:1Theimportanceofcompetition2Thefunctionofcompetition3Myownpractices［范文］CompetitionCompetitionmakespeopleactiveandcreative.Itisverynecessarytocompeteifhumansocietywantstoadvance.Withoutit,wewouldbecomelazyandnobodywouldtakeanyresponsibility.“Threemonks,therewillbenodrinkingwater.”ThisChineseproverbvividlydescribeswhyChinasproductivitywassolowbeforeMr.Dengcameintopower.Atthattime,wehadthesocalledplannedeconomy.Therewasnocompetitionatall.Sofarmersdidntworkhard.Workersdidntworkhard.Chinawasontheedgeofcollapse.Competitioncanstimulatepeopletotrytheirbesttodothings.Forexample,in100meterrace,eachsportsmanrunsasquicklyaspossible,tryingtowinthechampion,thesamethingshappeninoursocietyandinourda
