6. Youngsters‘ Use of the Internet
a. 根据下图描述北京市青少年上网人数和时间的变化 b. 你对于学生上网的评论 c. 你喜欢上网吗？说明原因
The bar charts above display that an increasing number of young people tend to surf the Internet more and more frequently in Beijing. In 1995, only 500,000 youngsters had access to Internet spending about 0.5 hour, whereas in 1999 about 4 million young students spent almost seven times longer time online.
It is no wonder that the Internet is shaping youngster‘s life. It provides an abundant source of information and facilitates young people‘s communication with their familiar or unfamiliar friends. However, as students, they should not indulge themselves in the illusive world or even playing online games for a rather long time. They should cautiously guard against the unhealthy contents available online.
Personally, I also prefer to utilize the Internet properly for the following reasons. First and foremost, it is accessible for me to get the latest information of software, which is my favorite subject. Equally important, thanks to the Internet, I make many foreign friends and make great progress in English through constant communication with them.
7. Pursuit of A Master‘s Degree

tighter and tighter. The public awareness of the situation has created a surge of interest in seeking a master‘s degree. Secondly, many cross-national companies set a much higher standard for new recruits than ever. It seems that the higher education you have, the higher salary you may receive. Choosing to study for master‘s degree will benefit the individuals and the whole society as well. The quality of Chinese intellectuals will be considerably enhanced, which in turn will boost the progress of the whole society.
8. Driving Private Cars to Work
a. 下图所示为某大城市居民上下班所用交通方式的变化 b. 请分析变化原因（如从汽车的用途、
价格或社会发展等方面加以分析。） c. 分析这一变化可能带来的负面影响
The two pie charts above illustrate that an increasing number of people in the big city have chosen driving to work in the past two decades. Between 1981 and 2001, the proportion of people riding bicycles or resorting to public transportation declined respectively by 18% and 10%, with people driving motorcycles and private cars growing by 16% and 12%.
There are two main components accounting for the rising percentage of private-car drivers. Nowadays, it‘s common for people to travel a long distance to work in big cities or even across cities. Private cars will undoubtedly become the first choice when speed and convenience are considered. What‘s more, with rising average income and the advent of some types of economical cars, people can afford private cars, which used to be luxuries for almost all Chinese.
Some people pessimistically believe that the growing numbers of cars on the road will lead to some negative effects. On one hand, it will worsen the traffic condition in metropolitan cities. On the other hand, it will also pose great threat to the environment.

9. Cooperation or Competition a. 有人认为合作精神很重要 b. 有人认为竞争精神更为重要 c. 你的看法
There has long been a heated discussion over whether cooperation is more essential than competition. As for me, the importance of cooperation and competition equals.
Firstly, each person is like a screw of the machine. And several tasks call for the cooperation of all the members of a group. Performing your own tasks carefully, keeping pace with your classmates or colleagues and listening to others‘ suggestions help you succeed in the end.
However, being competitive also has a place in life. As a member of the group, if you want to achieve more and be better than others, you must make more efforts, working harder or studying more diligently. Moreover, you should have the competitive spirit and adapt yourself to competition.
In a word, we must learn to be both cooperative and competitive in order to succeed in life. What we need to learn is when to be cooperative and when to be competitive.

10.Should College Students Live on Campus a. 有些人喜欢住在学校的宿舍，因为?? b. 有些人喜欢住在校外，因为?? c. 我的看法
There are an increasing number of students who choose to live off campus. Parents and university administrations understandably reacted differently. They voiced concerns about security and the threat of off-campus lifestyles getting out of control. However, college students have their own reasons for their choices.
Some students prefer to live on campus for the following reasons. First, campus residents are closer to classes, the library, and other resources, so they are more likely to succeed in college and complete their bachelor‘s degree in four years. Furthermore, living in a dorm is a great opportunity to meet all kinds of new people and develop relationships with them, so students living on campus are more sociable. Last but not the least, living on campus is cheaper and more convenient. Often times, off-campus housing is more expensive than on-campus housing and while living on campus, you don‘t have to worry about monthly rent payments and utility bills. Some others choose to live off campus because they believe living off campus they are more independent, with more privacy and a lot more quiet time. Living off campus gives them freedom from those dorm rules and allow them to set their own. The extra space also means that one can probably find a quiet place to study in the convenience of his own home.
As for me, I‘m a faithful supporter of the former group because I, living on campus myself, have witnessed and enjoyed all the convenience and happiness of doing so. To me, living on campus undoubtedly adds an important element to the complete college experience.
8. Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay entitled Does On-Campus English Education Lose its Appeal. You should write at least 150 words following the outline given below in Chinese:
Does On-Campus English Education Lose its Appeal? 1. 对于私立学校的英语培训，很多大学生都趋之若骛 2. 你认为大学英语教育真的丧失魅力了吗？ （请说明理由）
写作指南：这是四六级作文中典型的分析型习作，要求考生明确自身立场，并分析原因。 根据题目要求，文章的结构如下：
第一段简述现象：当今大学生对私立学校或教育机构开设的各类英语课程趋之若骛，有的甚至抱怨大学英语教育乏味而不实用，从而引出主题：高校英语教育真的丧失魅力了吗？ 第二段：阐述“我”的个人立场：高校英语教育没有丧失魅力：
1.大学生争报课外英语班的现象正说明了大学英语教学激发了他们学习英语的兴趣和求知欲；
2. 校外的实用性英语课程与大学正式英语教学并不相悖，而是后者的有益补充。
第三段简要总结：大学英语教学为大学生的语言学习打下了坚实的基础。 【1】An increasing number of college students are 【2】swarming into private schools for English training courses, 【3】ranging from CET preparation to business English. Some of them are even complaining that on-campus English lectures are too boring and impractical. 【4】Does English education in universities really lose its appeal?

【6】spark一词是语言亮点，表示“激发（兴趣或好奇心）”。 【7】stem from原义为“来源于??”，在此表示原因，体现了语言运用的灵活性。 In conclusion, 【9】on-campus English education lays a sound language basis for university students and will never be out-of-fashion because of its constant reform and improvement.

12. How I Improve My English a. 英语进步可以有很多方法 b. 哪种方法适合我（说明理由）
With the trend of globalization, English becomes a vital tool for effective communication. College students now concern more about the improvement of their English. Students‘ secrets are as follows.
As we know, ―Practice makes perfect.‖ Diligent study contributes to some students‘ progress in their English. Others turn to entertainment for help, watching English movies and making an all-out effort to learn English songs. Still, some sociable students make regular appointments with their foreign friends for a chat, a dinner or a party.
As for me, I prefer the third way. Two ingredients could account for my choice. It is primarily because there is no better way to learn idiomatic English than communicating with native English speakers. Moreover, it is owing to my sociable and friendly personality, that is, I like making different kinds of friends.

4. God helps those who help themselves. My dear aunt,
I‘m greatly surprised and sad to hear that you‘re laid off. But please don‘t worry too much. All roads lead to Rome. I believe we will find a way out.
I remember when I was a child, I had so many colorful and comfortable sweaters that I became my friends‘ envy. Those were all your masterpieces. Recently I made a survey in the city where I‘m living now, and found that unique hand-knitted things are much more welcome than mass products. Would you think about taking up knitting as your second career? I know, all things are difficult before they are easy. We will meet some unexpected difficulties in the beginning. But I firmly believe that nothing is impossible to a willing heart. Maybe your product will turn out to be a name brand.
My dear aunt, please do think about it. I‘ll lend you a hand. Take care. 3. Changes in the Way People Spent Holidays 1993 2003 traveling going to seaside 38% camping staying at home
