英语六级历年作文
有人认为名字（名称）不重要；有人认为非常重要；你认为呢？On the Importance of a Name
A name is the representation of a person or an entity. It plays an important role in social recognition, just as the old saying goes: a thing is the entity of a name. However, people have diverse opinions on the importance of a name. Some people say that name is important, while the others maintain the other way round. But I think name is of great importance because it is the symbol that
distinguishes one thing or person from the others.
We cannot deny the importance of a name, be it for a person or a thing. In the world today, no one can live without identification because they must get social recognition, and name is the symbol of the identification. Once a person or a thing gets social recognition, people will remember their names, and they will get further improvement. Besides, a good name will bring people some nice association.
A person with a special name may be easily accepted by a group or a community because of the deep impression the name leaves.
As for companies or products, a name is also vitally important. Years ago, a computer company spent millions of dollars for the name “Acer”. Since then, the company caught the attention of potential customers and became one of giants in the field. However, another company was facing bankruptcy, for the name of its product implies unfavorable meaning thus cannot be sold out. Can we say that name is not important?
A name may affect the whole life of a person, and a name may also influence the future of a company and its products. Therefore, we must treat names carefully.
08年12月六级作文 ： 怎样改善学生的心理健康1.学生心理健康的重要性2.学校应该怎样做3.学生自己应该怎样做ow to improve psychological health?
As is known to all, psychological health is as important as, if not more important than, physical health for a student during his/her growth. However, it’s quite worrying that nowadays some students are not quite psychologically healthy. Undoubtedly, schools and universities should take great account in the responsibilities of students’ psychological health. Relevant courses and activities should be introduced to students so that they would be more aware of the significance of psychological health and find appropriate ways to maintain and improve it. For example, there should be a psychological counseling hotline or office for students to turn to when they need some psychological aid.
Of course no psychological health can be obtained without the efforts from the students themselves. From my perspective, what they can do is trying to stay positive, optimistic and follow the right guidelines from their schools. To be more specific, they can participate in some activities such as voluntary work to cultivate an opening and caring mind. Meanwhile, harmful impacts from the cyber space should definitely be avoided
Will e-books replace traditional books?
A new era has come. With the mass production of electronic devices and application of new technologies, mankind has entered an “e” age. Nowadays, we have e-mails, e-tickets, e-tests, and e-books, and consequently, paper-based materials gradually vanish. Nowadays, e-books become extremely popular among youngsters, while traditional ones seem suffer a great loss of their readers.
For some people, electronic and internet based books are convenient and accessible. Environmentalists even advocate the benefit of e-books on the ground of forest protection. E-books lovers even assert that traditional books will disappear in the near future.
I have been a book worm for a long time. For me, reading experience is unique and rewarding. Nothing can be more thought-provoking than thumbing through a book bought years ago under a table lamp in a dark night. As to note-taking, scanning and skimming, and portability, traditional books have advantages. Just as the invention of camera didn’t put an end to the history of painting, traditional books are, and will still be, an intimate friend of readers.
The digital age1. 如今，数字化产品越来越多，如„2. 使用数字化产品对于人们学习工作和生活的影响。
Living in the digital age, we are unavoidably exposed to all kinds of digital products, such as digital camera, digital computer, digital television, and so on, which grow in an increasing categories and quantities. Believe it or not, look around yourself and you can easily find one or two of these stuffs.
Here is a question，what kind of influence do the digital products bring to people’s life.? Frankly speaking, these modern digital products offer us a more convenient life than before. For example, the digital camera makes it possible to delete or correct the “unsuccessful” photo of ours, which was impossible with the traditional camera. While, unfortunately, these fashionable digital items have cultivated a generation more isolated from the real life. It is hard to imagine that a man so accustomed to the digital mobile on-line chatting can be capable of the practical communication with others. Finally, too much dependent on the digital things, human seem to be more indifferent to the real world, which we, though reluctant to admit, have to accept.
Thus, as the generation assailed by all kinds of digital miracles, we might as well initiatively avoid some of them despite efficiency and comfort they can supply. Don’t forget those old days when you were going to visit an old school friend though there would be a long train journey, which, in today’s digital era, has been thoroughly replaced by the digital on-line chatting.
Should one expect a reward when doing a good deed
1.有的人认为应该有回2.另外的人认为应该象雷锋一样不要回报3.我的看法
The argument over whether we do good deeds for a reward is heated. Some argue strongly that great deads deserve recognition and acclaim. In this selfish and materialistic world, it is vitally important to recognize and promote various noble deeds. Rewarding and encouraging good deeds helps set an inspiring example to the public.
The opposing view is that we should perform good deeds without expectations of any outcomes or rewards. Acknowledgements and credit shouldn't be given people who do good deeds with mixed motives. For example, some entrepreneurs supporting charity aims at tax reduction instead of lending a helping hand to others with a real motive. So we should do something good for others like Lei Feng without expectations of any economic and immaterial return.
From my perspective, doing good deeds in exchange for rewards isn't an offense. We merit them. In fact, receiving sufficient public praise and attention serves as a contributing force behind the widespread promotion of good values. A role model sometimes outweighs a sole good deed.
The Celebration of Western Festivals1、现在国内不少人喜欢过西方的一些节日2、产生这种现象的原因3、这种现象可能带来的影响 Now people in growing numbers are beginning to realize that they prefer enjoying western festivals, such as the coming X’mas. There is a general discussion today about this issue. Certainly, this is a delicious sign of diversity in the life.
A lot of reasons are responsible for it. To begin with, the young men are exposed to the international minds or trends, and they are partly influenced. What’s more, the western views have been spread widely, naturally, and culturally. Moreover, nowadays people have their rights to have a taste of various cultures. In other words, they may celebrate festivals they like besides the conventional days, like the Spring Festival.
Obviously, this does some effects in our life. For example, it will arouse anxiety among so-called protectors of tradition. They unnecessarily worries that the western days are to replace the Chinese convention. Personally speaking, the policy of “let it be” will do more good that harm in this field. However, it is necessary that effective actions should be taken to prevent the negative effects of both traditional and western days.
1、近十年来某城市越来越多人选择出去旅游 2、出现这种现象的原因 3、这种现象可能产生的影响
表格：
1995 2000 2005
1万人 近4万 12万以上
From the table, we can see that in the past 10 years, the number of people in a given city who have gone traveling abroad has increased considerably. Especially in the recent 5 years, the figure has been more than tripled, surging from 40,000 to 120,000.
There are several reasons for the change. Firstly, with the development of economy, more and more people become better off. And their ability to finance their trip abroad is growing. Secondly, tourism has greatly developed over the decade. Travel agencies offer not only domestic packages but also travel specials abroad. In addition, individuals today are expected and encouraged to go outside to widen their horizon and to face the real world of globalization. In this way they hope to keep themselves informed of what is going on around the world.
From the changes reflected in the table, we can predict that the number of individuals going out of the country will boost. This encouragingly and inevitably facilitates the cultural exchange between ours and the rest of the world and this trend will be irreversible.
1. 目前盗版的现象比较严重2. 造成这种现象的原因及危害3. 我们应该怎么做
Useful words and expressions:盗版：piracy (n.)盗版产品：pirated products知识产权intellectual property rights侵犯版权：infringe sb's copyright; copyright infringement
Nowadays, the problem of piracy has become more and more serious. Books, tapes, VCDs and others high-tech products have been pirated. For instance,when a new product comes onto market, most probably, its pirated counterpart will soon put on its appearance in the market, too.
Piracy has caused a great loss to legitimate producers, inventors and writers in many ways. To start with,the pirated products often cost much less than the genuine ones so that they enjoy a better trading position in spite of their relatively poor quality. The genuine products, on the contrary, sell poorly. What's worse, pirated books sometimes do great harm to the authors' reputation due to some misprints.In the long run,pirated products may have a negative impact on customers. Those legitimate producers' creativity and enthusiasm may be deeply hurt by the fact that some customers are more interested in the pirated products for the sake of small gains.
In my opinion, it's high time that everyone started the battle against piracy. First,customers should develop their
consciousness to resist the pirated products. Second,the government should take effective measures to put an end to piracy. Finally,laws must be strictly enforced to completely ban piracy. Only in this way can we wipe the pirated products out of our life. 1，对病人的简单介绍：目前的病情和家庭情况 2，目前的困难：无法继续承担医疗费用，需要护理 3，希望捐助，联系方式Your Help Needed Dear friends, As some of you may know,Lucy,a lovely girl student,a junior from the Department of Fine Arts,has been seriously ill.In fact,she has been suffering from hepatitis, which is very dangerous.

3. 解析：本题考查固定用法
4. 解析：本题考查采用反译法翻译，以加强语气，取得较好的修辞效果。No other than强调了那个人就是我们要找的。这句话也可以译成This is just the man we are looking for，但强调的语气就显得要弱一些。此外，no other than要和other than区别开来。如：There's nobody here other than me.(这里除了我没别人。)
5. three to five times that of ordinary households
解析：本题考查数的表达。考生要学会用
6. I didn't buy a good seat
解析：题中
7. the railway will be extended to our village
解析：本题考查英语被动语态的翻译。虽然原中文句给出了主动语态，但在这里主动语态表示被动含义。因为铁路不可能自己延伸，延伸铁路的必定是人。再如：这个问题已经解决了。(The problem has been solved.)
8. is a man of great enterprise
解析：本题也有很强的干扰性。考生易译成has a strong heart of career，这种翻译看起来与中文对应，实际上不能被接受，而且完全背离了原文的意思。
9. I heard him playing the piano
解析：本题是对基本知识点的考查。我们知道，感官的动词hear，see，watch等有两种接续形式：一个是后接现在分词，一个是后接不带to的不定式作宾语补足语。接现在分词表示动作正在进行中;接不带to的不定式表示动作已经完成。根据题意，应该选择第一种翻译。
10. Students should draw a lesson here
解析：本题意为：学生们应该从这里得出一条经验：不要被假象所迷惑。看到
82. With the oil prices ever rising, she tried to talk ______________(说服他不买车)。
解析：做四六级翻译题的实质是补全句子，所以已给英文题干和中文部分都要仔细分析。说服某人，考生第一反应是persuade sb. into doing sth.,但是题干已给动词talk，所以考察点是talk sb. into doing sth.，考生如果对这个词组不熟悉，可以大胆套用persuade这个词组的格式。
参考答案：him into stopping buying a car。
83. ________________(保持幽默感有助于)reduce stress and promote creative thinking in today’s competitive society。
解析：考点有两个，“幽默感”和“有助于”。某方面的“感”，如正义感，责任感，在英语中都用“sense”来表达，即sense of justice, sense of responsibility。“有助于”可用两种表达方式，be helpful to do sth., 或者help to do sth. 另外注意动词短语做主语，要转化为动名词形式，即keep表达为keeping。
参考答案：Keeping a sense of humor helps to
84. When confronted with the evidence, _______________(他不得不坦白自己的罪行)。
解析：本题考察一个完整的主句，考点在于“坦白”和“罪行”两个单词的表达。
参考答案：he had to confess his crime。
85. When people say, “I can feel my ears burning”， it means they think___________________(一定有人在说他们的坏话)。
解析：本题考察“说某人坏话”，六级高频词组，有两种表达方式，speak evil of sb。或者talk sb. behind one’s back。后者在我的课堂上曾经以周星驰电影中的经典翻译摘举中给大家讲过，很多同学考后致电，感到很开心。另外，推断某人一定在做某事，考察情态动词“must be doing sth。”。
参考答案：someone must be talking about them behind their back。
86. She has decided to go on a diet, but finds ___________________(很难抵制冰淇淋的诱惑) 。
解析：本题考察词组“发现某事很难(find it hard/difficult to do sth。)”，以及高频词“抵制(resist)”和“诱惑(temptation)”

2. Whether a large family is good or not
解析：如果按照中文顺序逐一翻译就会得出译文Whether a large family is good thing or a small family is a good thing，这并没有语法错误，但不符合英语表达习惯。
3. help them in every way possible
解析：本题最有可能出现的译文是：use very possible way to help them。这样译文不能说错，但不是最间接、最好的翻译。英语里，通常把方式状语放在谓语部分之后，所以可得出译文：help them in every possible way。原句
4. ate to our hearts' content
解析：本题让考生们困扰的是如何翻译
5. food，clothing，shelter，and transportation
解析：本题要求考生熟悉汉英习语在转移时的异同。有些汉语习语在转移成英语时不需要变换位置。如：日日夜夜(day and night);但也有一些需要改变前后顺序，如：新旧(old and new);水火(fire and water);田径(track and field);钢铁(iron and steel);贫富(rich and poor);血肉(flesh and blood)。请注意本题中哪些词语的英译改变了顺序。

4. a gas which unites with many substances
解析：本题主要考查
5. one of those who have witnessed the accident
解析：本题考查句型be one of... 与be the only one of...的辨析。但one前面有the only修饰时，从句中的谓语动词用单数，如：She is the only one of the girls who shows special aptitude in singing and dancing.(她是这些女孩子中唯一在歌舞方面有特长的人。)
1. Man，no less than the lower forms of life，_______________(是演化过程的产物).
2. _______________(不止一个人觉察到)her agitation.

4. _______________(只有工人的要求得到满足)will they return to work.

1. is a product of the evolutionary process解析：单数名词+with，together with，along with，as well as，accompanied by，no less than，rather than，in addition to，instead of，including，besides等+名词结构作主语时，谓语动词用单数。Man在这里是个单数概念，指全人类，因此句子谓语部分要用单数is。再如：A technician，along with some young workers，is working on the design.(技术员正在和一些青年工人一道搞设计。)本题全句意为：人类，同生命的低级形式一样，是演化过程的产物。2. More than one person has noticed
解析：many a或more than one所修饰的名词作主语时，谓语动词必须用单数。所以句子需填入部分谓语译成has，又由于
解析：本题考查的是
4. Only when the workers' demands are satisfied
解析：本题考查only修饰的状语放在句首，主谓要倒装。Will they return to work已经给出暗示。此外，only+副词，only+介词短语置于句首，主谓也要倒装。如：Only with the aid of telescope can he observe the celestial bodies.(只有借助望远镜，他才能观测到天体。)值得注意的是：如果句首only修饰的是主语，则不需要倒装。如：Only Tom has been to the small island once before.(只有汤姆以前去过那个小岛一次。)
5. it not been for the reservoir解析：由于句首已经给出Had，那么这里就是考查虚拟语气省略if引起的主谓倒装。由主句时态可知，从句情况与过去事实相反，因此用过去完成时态。另外，如果句首倒装的条件句含有否定词not，且had提前，一般不可使用省略式n't，而应将not置于条件句之后。本题意为：若不是有水库，我们绝不能战胜干旱。
