2024年6月大学英语四、六级作文试题评析（三）

四级

Directions： Suppose your university is seeking students’ opinions on whether university libraries should be open to the public. You are now to write an essay to express your view. You will have 30 minutes for the task. 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大学图书馆是否应向公众开放。关于这个话题，长期以来众说纷纭，莫衷一是。所以考生以赞成或反对立论都可以，关键是要能自圆其说。

这篇作文可以写三个段落。

第一段先提出本文要讨论的话题——最近有一场关于大学图书馆是否应向公众开放的热烈讨论。然后提出自己的观点：大学图书馆应该为大学生和教职工专用，即大学图书馆不应向公众开放。

第二段论证自己的这个观点。我们可以从三个方面展开论述。首先，大学图书馆是为了方便师生的学习和研究而建，其关注重点在于学术资料而不是娱乐，因此大学图书馆并不适合公众。大多数公众去图书馆的目的是自我娱乐。其次，由于大学生的数量迅速增加，图书馆为在校大学生服务已经不堪重负，更无力接待社会上的读者。最后是安全方面的考虑，允许公众使用大学图书馆会产生安全隐患。

第三段总结全文，重述观点。我们可以先指出，作为大学的心脏，大学图书馆应当优先满足教师和学生的需要，然后指出大学图书馆向公众开放不可取。

Recently there has been a heated debate as to whether university libraries should be open to the public. As far as I am concerned， libraries on campus should be for the exclusive use of college students and faculty members.

As we know， university libraries are built to facilitate the learning and research activities of college students and the faculty. So libraries on campus， whose focus is on academic materials rather than entertainment， are not suitable for the public， the majority of whom go to a library with the purpose of entertaining themselves. Also， university libraries， groaning under the burden of surging numbers of students， can hardly cope with swarms of non-student readers. College students already find it difficult to get a vacant seat in their libraries. Plus， allowing the public to have access to university libraries would create potential safety hazards.

As the heart of a university， the library’s priority is to meet students’ and teachers’ needs. I think it is undesirable that university libraries be open to the general public. （171 words）

语言亮点借鉴：

1. As far as I am concerned， libraries on campus should be for the exclusive use of college students and faculty members. 在我看来，校园里的图书馆应当为大学生和教职工专用。 as/so far as I am concerned依我看。这是一个表达观点的常用说法。

2. So libraries on campus， whose focus is on academic materials rather than entertainment， are not suitable for the public， the majority of whom go to a library with the purpose of entertaining themselves. 学校图书馆关注的重点是学术资料而不是娱乐，并不适合公众，因为大多数公众去图书馆的目的是自我娱乐。

3. Also， university libraries， groaning under the burden of surging numbers of students， can hardly cope with swarms of non-student readers. 此外，在大学生人数激增的重负下，大学图书馆已经喘不过气来，几乎无力应对社会上的大批读者。 groaning 是现在分词作定语，修饰university libraries。cope with 应对。

4. I think it is undesirable that university libraries be open to the general public. 我认为大学图书馆向公众开放不可取。it is undesirable that... ……不可取。后面的从句要使用虚拟语气，即should后跟动词原形，should可省。

六级

Directions： For this part， you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay that begins with the sentence “Nowadays cultivating independent learning ability is becoming increasingly important for personal development.” You can make comments， cite examples or use your personal experiences to develop your essay. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.

这道大学英语六级作文试题要求考生根据题目提供的开篇句写一篇作文。这个开篇句本身又表达了文章的中心论点。本题中的论点是培养独立学习能力对个人的发展变得越来越重要。由于学生时代是培养独立学习能力的重要时期，所以我们在论述时不妨密切地联系学生。

这篇作文可以写三个段落。

第一段先指出培养独立学习能力对个人发展变得越来越重要，然后援引约翰斯·霍普金斯大学最近所做的一项研究来支撑这个论点——独立学习能力使学生成为终生学习者，并使他们具备未来获得成功所需要的重要技能。

第二段论述独立学习能力对个人发展的重要作用。我们不妨从校园和职场这两个方面展开论述。首先，在当今世界人们能够方便地获得信息，因此独立学习能力比以往任何时候都更加重要。学生如果具备了独立学习的能力，就能自由地探索自己感兴趣的话题并按照自己的节奏学习。这种个性化的学习方法能够让学生学业出色。其次，通过独立地参与学习过程，学生会培养一些重要的技能，如批判思考、解决问题和自我管理。这些技能在职场上也很受重视，有助于他们在今后的事业中取得成功。总之，只有善于从不同的方面展开论述，我们才能使论证充分翔实，并保证字数达到要求。

本文可以用建议法结尾，即第三段提出解决问题的建议。先引用谚语重述独立学习能力的重要性：授人以鱼，不如授人以渔。然后建议中小学和大学培养学生的独立学习能力，以便他们能够应对未来在学习、事业和人生中的挑战。

Nowadays cultivating independent learning ability is becoming increasingly important for personal development. A recent Johns Hopkins University study suggests that independent learning ability prepares students for lifelong learning and equips them with essential skills for future success.

In today’s world， where information is readily available at your fingertips， the ability to learn on your own is more important than ever before. When learning independently， students have the freedom to explore topics of personal interest and learn at their own pace. This personalized approach will help students shine academically. On top of that， by participating in the learning process independently， students develop important skills such as critical thinking， problem-solving and self-management， which are also highly valued in the professional world， thus contributing to their success later in the workplace.

Give a man a fish and you’ll feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you’ll feed him for a lifetime. So it is imperative that schools and universities develop independent learning skills in their students so that they are well equipped for their future learning， career and life challenges. （181 words）
