秘诀 1 写作速 成

一、 真题

2007年 6月 Should one expect a reward when doing a good deed

1.有的人认为应该有回报
2.另外的人认为应该象雷锋一样不要回报
3.我的看法
Lei Feng, a communist soldier, who “devoted his limited life to the limitless cause of serving the
people”, has long been set as an outstanding example to encourage us to spare no efforts to help
those in need, whereas, with the passage of time, people voice different opinions towards doing
good deeds.

Some insists “A good turn deserves another”, as the old saying goes, which indicates that a good
deed ought to bring about a reward, the motivation or the stimulus for the favor. Meanwhile,
others believe good deeds belong to voluntary work, purely out of willingness, which has
nothing to do with expectation for rewards.

As to me, good deeds are supposed to result from spontaneous reaction confronted with certain
circumstances, ranging from giving up one seat to a silver-haired passenger aboard the bus,
donating blood to the designated organization by Red Cross to traveling to the remote and
poverty-stricken areas to serve as a volunteer for a whole year. In short, rewards are by no means
the trigger or purpose for intention of conducting good deeds, no matter how trivial or stunning
they are.

With a growing number of students enrolled, a tough issue most universities face is inadequate
teaching staff and facilities.
However, one can never equate a college degree with a better job or future.
4 卷面整 洁；细致 检查
In recent years, there is a steady increase in college enrollment. To many high-school
students, it’s definitely good news ， for they would have better chance of receiving higher
education.
You don’t have to look very far to find out the advantages of the increased college
enrollment. For one thing, it lessens the worries of both high school graduates and their parents.
Besides ， increased college enrollment can contribute to raise the educational level of our
nation. What’s more, increased college enrollment can provide more students with specialized
knowledge, thus serving our development in a positive way.
On the other hand, we can not deny that there are some potential problems about
increased college enrollment. To begin with, with the increased number of students, the
shortage of teaching staff and facilities becomes clearly seen. Worst of all, increased college
enrollment leads to increased competition in the job market.
It’s not an easy task to tell whether the tendency should be encouraged. As to me, it’s
laudable to grant more students higher education. But a college degree is by no means a
guarantee for a better job or future. To cast a promising career, we need a lot more abilities
which we can not learn from college.
（四） 临阵磨枪 ：
1．开头的写 法： 万事开头难，写作文也是如此，但文章的开头很重要。常用的方法有以
下几种：
(1) 背景法： 说明事件发生的时间、地点、情景等背景。
例如：I was once spending the summer holiday in a small seaside village in the South of China.
It was a beautiful and quiet place. People do not usually go there.
(2) 人物法： 交代文章所要描述的主要人物或有关人物。
例 如 ： Once upon a time, there was an old honest man named Hans. … He lived in a tiny
cottage all alone, and every day he worked in his garden. … …
(3) 主题句法： 提出一个观点或论据作为文章要阐明或论述的主题。
(4) 问题法： 用提问的方式来引出文章的内容，以引起读者的注意力。例如： What is
the nature of the scientific attitude? What is the harmfulness of fake commodities?
(5) 惊 语 法 ： 用令人感到惊奇的句子开头，激起读者的兴趣。例如： A 39-story
building in construction collapsed in the city yesterday.
(6) 故事法 ：以讲故事的形式作为文章的开头，在此基础上展开文章。多用语记叙文，
也可用语议论文。例如在“A Day to Remember”, “The Man I Respected Most”这样的文章中
就可以用这样的方法开头。
(7) 数据法： 引用已经被证实的数字来引起话题。例如， “Smoking”一文可以这样开
3
 更多四六级考前资讯 请关注 www.onlycollege.com.cn

头：It is reported that 1.5 billion people in the world smoke.

(8) 引语法： 引用名人名言或常见习语、谚语等作为文章的开头。例如：Rome was not
built in a day. A little learning is a dangerous thing. Every coin has two sides. A friend in need is
a friend indeed. etc.
(9) 定义法： 常见于对标题下定义，然后通过举例、逻辑推理等方法加以详细说明。例
如： A true good student is one who possesses good morality, sound health, perfect knowledge
and various abilities.

2. 正文的 写法
(1) 演绎法 ：(deductive organization)
从一般到个别。把带普遍性和概括性的句子放在段首，段落中其他的句子就是对主题
句的具体化，是对主题句的具体说明。
(2) 归纳法： (inductive organization)
从特殊到一般。具体、个别的事例出发，总结出一般的规律。

3．结尾的写 法
(1) 简要 评 价 或作 结 论 ： 文章的最后几句概括全文内容，并进一步肯定文章的中心
思想或作者的观点。例如：In short, we can say that science to human being is like food to our
bodies. Science frees us from the bandage of Nature. Science itself is innocent, but sometimes
man has misused it.
(2) 重复主题句 ： 回到文章的中心思想或主题句上，达到再次肯定或强调的效果。
(3) 用 反 问 句 结 尾 ： 虽然形式是疑问句，但意义是肯定的，具有很明显的强调作用
能引起读者的思考。例如： If there were no homework on weekends, students would come to
school on Monday well refreshed and willing to work. Isn’t that both beneficial to students and
teachers?
(4) 提 出 展 望 或 希 望 ： 对未来提出展望或希望，号召读者为此而行动。例如： Dear
fellows, let’s unite as one to fight for the prosperity of our motherland. Let’s shoulder our
responsibilities and fight for the happiness of the whole world.
(5) 引 用 名 人 名 言 、 谚 语 、 常 用 习 语 结 尾 。 例如： “ Early to bed and early to rise
makesa person healthy, wealthy and wise.”
4．写作必备 句型
1. It is indisputable that （ 无 可 争 辩 ） there are millions of people who still have a
miserable life and have to face the dangers of starvation and exposure.

Protect Your Privacy When Job-hunting Online

 更多四六级考前资讯 请关注 www.onlycollege.com.cn

Identity theft and identity fraud are terms used to refer to all types of crime in which someone
wrongfully obtains and uses another person’s personal data in some way that involves fraud or
deception, typically for economic gain.

The numbers associated with identity theft are beginning to add up fast these days. A recent
General Accounting Office report estimates that as many as 750,000 Americans are victims of
identity theft every year. And that number may be low, as many people choose not to report the
crime even if they know they have been victimized.

Identity theft is “an absolute epidemic,” states Robert Ellis Smith, a respected author and
advocate of privacy. “It’s certainly picked up in the last four or five years. It’s worldwide. It
affects everybody, and there’s very little you can do to prevent it and, worst of all, you can’t
detect it until it’s probably too late.”

Unlike your fingerprints, which are unique to you and cannot be given to someone else for their
use, you personal data, especially your social security number, your bank account or credit card
number, your telephone calling card number, and other valuable identifying data, can be used, if
they fall into the wrong hands, to personally profit at your expense. In the United States and
Canada, for example, many people have reported that unauthorized persons have taken funds out
of their bank or financial accounts, or, in the worst cases, taken over their identities altogether,
running up vast debts and committing crimes while using the victims’ names. In many cases, a
victim’s losses may included not only out-of-pocket financial losses, but substantial additional
financial costs associated with trying to restore his reputation in the community and correcting
erroneous information for which the criminal is responsible.

According to the FBI, identity theft is the number one fraud committed on the Internet. So how
do job seekers protect themselves while continuing to circulate their resumes online? The key to
a successful online job search is learning to manager the risks. Here are some tips for staying
safe while conducting a job search on the Internet.

1. Check for a privacy policy.

If you are considering posting your resume online, make sure the job search site your are
considering has a privacy policy, like CareerBuilder.com. The policy should spell out how your
information will be used, stored and whether or not it will be shared. You may want to think
twice about posting your resume on a site that automatically shares your information with others.
You could be opening yourself up to unwanted calls from solicitors (推销员).

7
 更多四六级考前资讯 请关注 www.onlycollege.com.cn

When reviewing the site’s privacy policy, you’ll be able to delete your resume just as easily as
you posted it. You won’t necessarily want your resume to remain out there on the Internet once
you land a job. Remember, the longer your resume remains posted on a job board, the more
exposure, both positive and not-so-positive, it will receive.

2. Take advantage of site features.

Lawful job search sites offer levels of privacy protection. Before posting your resume, carefully
consider your job search objective and the level of risk you are willing to assume.

CareerBuilder.com, for example, offers three levels of privacy from which job seekers can
choose. The first is standard posting. This option gives job seekers who post their resumes the
most visibility to the broadest employer audience possible.

The second is anonymous (匿名的 ) posting. This allows job seekers the same visibility as those
in the standard posting category without any of their contact information being displayed. Job
seekers who wish to remain anonymous but want to share some other information may choose
which pieces of contact information to display.

The third is private posting. This option allows a job seeker to post a resume without having it
searched by employers. Private posting allows job seekers to quickly and easily apply for jobs
that appear on CareerBuilder.com without retyping their information.

3. Safeguard your identity.

Career experts say that one of the ways job seekers can stay safe while using the Internet to
search out jobs is to conceal their identities. Replace your name on your resume with a generic
( 泛 指 的 ) identifier, such as “Intranet Developer Candidate,” or “Experienced Marketing
Representative.”

You should also consider eliminating the name and location of your current employer.
Depending on your title, it may not be all that difficult to determine who you are once the name
of your company is provided. Use a general description of the company such as “Major auto
manufacturer,” or “International packaged goods supplier.”

If your job title is unique, consider using the generic equivalent instead of the exact title assigned
by your employer.

8
 更多四六级考前资讯 请关注 www.onlycollege.com.cn

4. Establish and email address for your search.

Another way to protect your privacy while seeking employment online is to open up an email
account specifically for your online job search. This will safeguard your existing email box in
the event someone you don’t know gets hold of your email address and shares it with others.

Using an email address specifically for you job search also eliminates the possibility that you
will receive unwelcome emails in your primary mailbox. When naming your new email address,
be sure that it doesn’t contain references to your name or other information that will give away
your identity. The best solution is an email address that is relevant to the job you are seeking
such as salesmgr2004@provider.com.

5. Protect your reference.

If your resume contains a section with the names and contact information of your references,
take it out. There’s no sense in safeguarding your information while sharing private contact
information of your references.

6. Keep confidential (机密的 ) information confidential.

Do not, under any circumstances, share your social security, driver’s license, and bank account
numbers or other personal information, such as race or eye color. Honest employers do not need
this information with an initial application. Don’t provide this even if they say they need it in
order to conduct a background check. This is one of the oldest tricks in the book – don’t fall for
it.

when everything around it collapsed the company kept on inflating. Google’s search engine is so
widespread across the world that search became Google, and google became a verb. The world
fell in love with the effective, fascinatingly fast technology.

Google owes much of its success to the brilliance of S. Brin and L. Page, but also to a series of
fortunate events. It was Page who, at Stanford in 1996, initiated the academic project that
eventually became Google’s search engine. Brin, who had met Page at a student orientation a
year earlier, joined the project early on. They were both Ph.D. candidates when they devised the
search engine which was better than the rest and, without any marketing, spread by word of
mouth from early adopters to, eventually, your grandmother.

Their breakthrough, simply put, was that when their search engine crawled the Web, it did more
than just look for word matches, it also tallied ( 统计 ) and ranked a host of other critical factors
like how websites link to one another. That delivered far better results than anything else. Brin
and Page meant to name their creation Googol (the mathematical term for the number 1 followed
by 100 zeroes), but someone misspelled the word so it stuck as Google. They raised money from
prescient ( 有 先 见 之 明 的 ) professors and venture capitalists, and moved off campus to turn
Google into business. Perhaps their biggest stroke of luck came early on when they tried to sell
their technology to other search engines, but no one met their price, and they built it up on their
own.

The next breakthrough came in 2000, when Google figured out how to make money with its
invention. It had lots of users, but almost no one was paying. The solution turned out to be
advertising, and it’s not an exaggeration to say that Google is now essentially an advertising
company, given that that’s the source of nearly all its revenue. Today it is a giant advertising
company, worth $100 billion.

二、 秘诀

1．快速浏览 全文，把 握文章脉 络

文中阴影部分皆为具体阐释或举例，所以无需仔细阅读，可快速浏览甚至跳过不看。而下
划线部分的成分则需读者特别注意，如第三段的 this，它表明该段是上文的总结； that is
表明后文为前文的解释，所以读者如果前文看懂了，后文也就没有太大作用了。
Passage One
In a purely biological sense, fear begins with the body’s system for reacting to things that
can harm us -- the so-called fight-or-flight response. “An animal that can’t detect danger can’t
stay alive,” says Joseph LeDoux. Like animals, humans evolved with an elaborate mechanism
for processing information about potential threats. At its core is a cluster of neurons ( 神经元 )
deep in the brain known as the amygdala (扁桃核).
LeDoux studies the way animals and humans respond to threats to understand how we form
memories of significant events in our lives. The amygdala receives input from many parts of the
17
 更多四六级考前资讯 请关注 www.onlycollege.com.cn

brain, including regions responsible for retrieving memories. Using this information, the
amygdala appraises a situation — I think this charging dog wants to bite me — and triggers a
response by radiating nerve signals throughout the body. These signals produce the familiar
signs of distress: trembling, perspiration and fast-moving feet, just to name three.
This fear mechanism is critical to the survival of all animals, but no one can say for sure
whether beasts other than humans know they’re afraid. That is, as LeDoux says, “if you put that
system into a brain that has consciousness, then you get the feeling of fear.”
Humans, says Edward M. Hallowell, have the ability to call up images of bad things that
happened in the past and to anticipate future events. Combine these higher thought processes
with our hardwired danger-detection systems, and you get a near-universal human phenomenon:
worry.
That’s not necessarily a bad thing, says Hallowell, “When used properly, worry is an
incredible device,” he says. After all, a little healthy worrying is okay if it leads to constructive
action -- like having a doctor look at that weird spot on your back.
Hallowell insists, though, that there’s a right way to worry. “Never do it alone, get the facts
and then make a plan,” he says. Most of us have survived a recession, so we’re familiar with the
belt-tightening strategies needed to survive a slump.
Unfortunately, few of us have much experience dealing with the threat of terrorism, so it’s
been difficult to get facts about how we should respond. That’s why Hallowell believes it was
okay for people to indulge some extreme worries last fall by asking doctors for Cipro (抗炭疽菌
的药物) and buying gas masks.

2．仔细研析 题干，确 定关键词 语

选择题的解答成功与否，主要取决于对题干的充分挖掘。如第 53 题，该题定位并不难，
因为人名是最为容易确定的线索，再加上 study 一词便可确定答案所在地。但该题的关键
在于 learn 一词，它决定了正确答案肯定不是原文直接言明，而是间接暗示的，所以由此
可先排除文章直接言明的选项 B)和 C)。选项 A)与所在段的内容不相干，所以正确答案为
D)。
53. From the studies conducted by LeDoux we learn that _________.
A) reactions of humans and animals to dangerous situations are often unpredictable
B) memories of significant events enable people to control fear and distress
C) people’s unpleasant memories are derived from their feelings of fear
D) the amygdala plays a vital part in human and animals responses to potential danger

3．理性分析 失效，投 机技巧登 场

1）答案项中有绝对语气词的一般不是正确答案项。这些语气词有： must, always, never,
the most, all, only, have to, any, no, very, completely, none, hardly 等。
2）选项中含有不十分肯定的语气词一般是正确答案项。这些语气词有： can, could, may,
18
 更多四六级考前资讯 请关注 www.onlycollege.com.cn

should, usually, might, most ， more or less, relatively, be likely to, possible, whether or, not
necessarily 等。
3）选项中照抄原文的一般不是答案项，而同义替换的一般是选项。此外，正确选项往往
其词汇对应数量在 3 个或 3 个以上。
4）较全面、有针对性地表达文章中心思想的选项一般是答案项。
5）选项中表达意义较具体的、肤浅的（字面意思）一般不是答案项，而概括性的、抽象的、
含义深刻的一般是答案项。
6）选项中较符合常识的、易明白的一般不是选项，而似乎不太合理、一时较难理解的往往
是正确选项。

4．时间紧张 之时，略 看文章答 题

1）针对主旨大意题只读段首、段尾句。一般来说，一篇文章的中心思想或某一段主题思想
往往通过段首、段尾句表达出来。考生迅速找到了这些主题句，也能答题。
2）若针对举例子、引用名人言论、特殊符号（如冒号、引号、破折号）后内容出题，考生可
只 读 例 子 、 名 人 言 话 、 符 号 前 后 句 内 容 ， 然 后 答 题 。
3）如果题目只是针对某一段内容而提问，考生可只看该段内容即可答题，而不必等把文
章全看完才做，以防到时要交卷，而能做出的题因时间不足而瞎猜。
4）针对词汇题，考生可只看词汇所在句和前后句内容即可答题，因为对单词字义的揣测，
一般只通过单词所在句或前后句内容就能猜出。

二、 秘诀

1．浏览全文 ，预测主 题
大约花 20－30 秒时间浏览全文，以便把握文章主旨，这样就可以利用对该主旨的背
景知识帮助理解全文。
为此，可利用词汇的复现率来预测主旨，如该文复现率较高的词汇是 disaste ，所以
可大致猜测该文讲的是我们如何应对灾难的问题。

2．择优排除 ，交替使 用
遇到空缺较多的句子，优先考虑较为简单、能够直接选择正确答案的空缺，此为“择
优法”。在碰到无从选择时，分析四个选项的特点，若其中有两个或两个以上的选项是相
似或相反时，其中一个往往是正确选项，此为排除法；若原文空缺处需要已及物动词，
而选项中有非及物动词，则可先排除，此亦为排除法；等等。
比如 72，73，74 三个空出现在一句里，也许我们对 73 应该选什么有点犹豫，我们可
以 先 根 据 习 惯 用 法 推 出 72 为 D. out ， 再 根 据 这 句 话 的 后 面 部 分 ， more often, it is
ourselves，推断 73 空格应该是否定意义的 rarely。

3． 若有时 间，复核 选项
做完后，先不要着急复核选项，等剩余题目都已完成，再回到该题检查。注意选项中的近
形、近义或反义词以及固定搭配。
