四级

Directions:

For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay entitled “Do Violent Video Games Increase Aggression?” You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.

这道大学英语四级作文试题要求考生论述是否暴力电子游戏会增加攻击行为。总的来说,论说文有两种论证方法:演绎法和归纳法。所谓演绎法,就是我们在文章的开头提出论点,在主体部分对该论点展开论证,最后在结尾部分重述论点。所谓归纳法,就是我们在文章的开头提出话题但不表明观点,在主体部分对这个话题的各个方面展开分析,最后在文章的结尾部分得出结论,亦即提出文章的论点。本文拟采用归纳法展开论证。

这篇作文可写三个段落。

第一段提出本文所要讨论的话题。最近在媒体上有一场热烈的讨论:暴力电子游戏是否会增加攻击行为。对此公众的意见分歧很大。

第二段先指出反对暴力电子游戏者的观点:暴力电子游戏与攻击行为的增加直接相关,并援引石溪大学的一项研究结果作为证据。然后提出赞成暴力电子游戏者的观点:社会学家已经跟踪研究电子游戏二十多年,但至今尚未发现暴力电子游戏会引起青少年暴力行为的证据;他们认为仅暴力游戏还不能解释玩家的暴力行为,其他因素也起了作用,如家庭暴力、学业压力和校园欺凌。

在正、反方观点交锋之后,我们就可以提出自己的观点。我们提出自己的观点时,既可以赞同正方观点,也可以赞同反方观点,还可以提出全新的观点。比如,我们可以在本文的结尾段中指出:在玩暴力电子游戏和攻击行为之间是否有联系,还需要进一步研究才能确定。我们认为,较之简单的赞同或反对,这样立论更加谨慎和稳妥,也更能展示考生的思想深度。基于这个中立的观点,我们最后建议青少年多与朋友一起参加户外运动,同时适度地玩含有暴力内容的电子游戏。

Recently there has been a heated debate in the press as to whether violent video games increase aggression in players. Opinions vary greatly among the public.

Opponents of violent video games claim that there is a direct correlation between playing violent video games and increased aggression. As proof, they cite a Stony Brook University study which found that violent video games triggered violence in teenagers. Those who favor violent video games, however, argue that sociologists have investigated video games for more than two decades but to date have found little evidence showing violence in video games leads to aggression. Video games alone, they contend, can’t explain violent behavior in players. Other factors, such as domestic violence, academic pressure and campus bullying, also play a part.

From my perspective, more research is needed to decide whether there is a link between playing violent video games and aggressive behavior. For now, I recommend that children do more outdoor sports with their peers and only play violent video games in moderation. (168 words)

Directions:

For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay based on the chart below. You should start your essay with a brief description of the chart and comment on China’s achievements in poverty alleviation. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.

2021年6月的大学英语六级作文考查的是图表作文的写法,本文的话题是中国的脱贫成就。要写好这篇图表作文,我们首先要仔细观察图表,找出图表中的主要变化趋势。我们可以从这幅柱状图中直观地看出:中国的农村贫困人口在2012年大约是7600万,这一数字在2020年减少到0。

这篇图表作文可以写三个段落。

第一段描述图表。在描述图表时,我们最好先用一句话概括出图表的主要内容:过去10年,中国在脱贫方面取得长足的进步。然后我们再引用图表中的数据作为支撑。我们在引用数据时只需引用最大值、最小值即可,不必把图表中的数据一股脑儿地全抄上去。就本文的图表而言,我们只需引用76,000,000(最大值)和0(最小值)。

第二段评论图表中的趋势,一般是从分析原因的角度展开。就本文而言,第二段要分析中国在脱贫方面取得长足进步的原因。在分析原因时考生可以根据自己的知识储备自由发挥,只要能自圆其说即可。我们分析原因最好从两三个方面进行阐述,且每个方面都要略作展开。比如,我们可以首先指出中国政府在新世纪伊始就开始了振兴农村战略,从而使数以百万计的农村人口脱贫;其次,教育的改善是另一个重要因素,随着越来越多的农村人口接受更好的教育,他们更有能力利用先进的技术致富;最重要的一个原因是中国政府在2000年开始实施西部大开发政策,从而把大量资源引入到中国西部贫困地区的发展。

本文可以用建议法结尾。第三段首先指出尽管脱贫取得了进步,但我们还不能躺在功劳簿上不思进取。鉴于还有很大比例的农村人口仅仅生活在贫困线之上,要让他们过上小康生活,我们还有很长的路要走。

China has made long strides in alleviating poverty in the past decade. As can be seen in the bar graph, about 76 million people were living in poverty in 2012, but that number was reduced to zero in 2020.

What accounts for this impressive accomplishment? The answer lies in three aspects. First, the Chinese government launched the rural revitalization strategy at the beginning of the 21st century, which has helped millions of farmers beef up their income. Improved education is also a contributing factor. As an increasing number of  farmers in the countryside received a better education, they were better able to employ advanced technologies to shake themselves off poverty. Most important is the Go West policy that China introduced in 2000, which has gone a long way towards channeling resources into the development of poverty-stricken areas in Western China.

Despite the achievement, now is no time to rest on our laurels. Considering a large proportion of rural residents subsist just above the poverty line, there is still a long way for us to go before they live a well-to-do life. (181 words)

语言亮点借鉴:

1. As can be seen in the bar graph, about 76 million people were living in poverty in 2012, but that number was reduced to zero in 2020. 正如从这幅柱状图中可以看到的,2012年大约有7600万人生活在贫困之中,但这一数字在2020年减少到了零。as can be seen in/from the bar graph 正如从这幅柱状图中可以看到的。(这是开始从图表中引用数据的常见表达。) live in poverty 生活在贫困中。

2. What accounts for this impressive accomplishment? 什么可以解释这项了不起的成就呢?本句为修辞问句,无疑而问,为的是自然地引出对原因的分析。

3. Improved education is also a contributing factor. 教育的改善也是一个起作用的因素。

4. Most important is the Go West policy that China introduced in 2000, which has gone a long way towards channeling resources into the development of poverty-stricken areas in Western China. 最重要的是中国在2000年实施了西部大开发政策,这对把资源投入到发展中国西部贫困地区发挥了很大作用。introduce 实施,推行。go a long way to/toward/towards… 对……有很大帮助。channel… into… 把……用于……。poverty-stricken areas 贫困地区。
