三、四级考试作文最低分规定教育部高等教育司及全国大学英语四、六级考试委员会,于1996年11月作出了“大学英语作文将要从1997年6月开始实行英语作文最低分”的若干规定。

具体记分方法如下:1. 根据目前考生的作文均值,将作文分的最低分定为6分。

2. 作文分为0分,总分若高于60分,报分时一律作为59分不及格处理;若低于60分,报分时一律再减6分;3. 作文分大于0分,小于6分,则按下式计算成绩:例(1)原计算总分为63分,实得作文分为2分,最后报分:63-6+2=59分例(2)原计算总分为80分,实得作文分为4分,最后报分:63-6+4=78分例(3)原计算总分为55分,实得作文分为3分,最后报分:55-6+3=52分四、本期训练重点题型(期末考试题型)体裁:论说文模式:1、现象分析型现象分析型作文主要是以当前社会上存在的热门现象为话题,如98年1月的“My View on Fake Commodities”,03年1月的“It Pays to Be Honest”,05年6月的“Say No to Pirated Products”等等。

由此可见,标题的核心大都是当今社会存在的某种问题,如“假冒伪劣产品”、“盗版”等。

面对此种作文,在描述现象之后,则可能具体分析该现象产生的根源(原因)、影响(正面影响和/或负面影响)、解决方案或发展方向等。

那么,具体从哪一方面入手,如何组织文章的内容,详略如何布局等问题,则需要根据具体的提纲而定。

例如:Directions: For this part, you are allowed thirty minutes to write a composition on the topic Student Use of Computers. You should write at least 120 words, and base your composition on the chart and the outline given below:1.上图所示为某校大学生平均每周使用计算机的时间: 1990年(2 hours)、1995年(4 hours)、2002年(14 hours),请描述其变化;2. 请说明发生这些变化的原因(可从计算机的用途、价格或社会发展等方面加以说明);3. 你认为目前大学生在计算机使用中有什么困难或问题。

[参考范文] Student Use of ComputersStudents tend to use computers more and more nowadays. Reading this chart, we can find that the average number of hours a student spends on the computer per week has increased sharply. In 1990, it was less than 2 hours; and in 1995, it increased to almost 4 hours; while in 2000, the number soared to 20 hours.Obviously computers are becoming more and more popular. There are several reasons for this. First, computers facilitate us in more aspects of life. Also, the fast development of the Internet enlarges our demands for using computers. We can easily contact with friends in remote places through the Internet. Besides, the prices of computers are getting lower and lower, which enables more students to purchase them.Along with the time spent on computers, there arise some problems. The most serious one is that many students are spending so much time playing PC games so that they ignore their studies. It is urgent to let the students use computers in a proper way.Directions: For this part, you are allowed thirty minutes to write a composition on the topic It Pays to Be Honest.You should write at least 120 words according to the outline given below in Chinese:1.当前社会上存在许多不诚实的现象2.诚实利人利已,做人应该诚实[参考范文] It Pays to Be HonestHonesty is a cherished Chinese traditional virtue. But nowadays there are many dishonest cases in society. Some businessmen cheat their customers for higher profits. Some employees cheat their bosses for higher positions. Some people cheat their friends for more money. Even some government officials cheat their people for more interests. These phenomena anger every person of integrity. Then, why do they come into being?This may be because these people believe that nobody will find out their dishonesty. However, eventually their customers will come to purchase their products no more, their bosses will dismiss them, their friends no longer help them in case of their crisis, and their people will remove them from office. They pay the price for their own behavior. Therefore, everyone should be honest, which benefits not only himself but also others.1.有些大学校园浪费现象日益严重2.浪费的危害3.杜绝浪费,从我做起Reduce Waste on CampusNowadays, there is an increasingly serious phenomenon on campus-waste. Rows of lights glare in studentless classrooms, residue of rice and dishes jam in the waste buckets, taps of water weep with nobody doing washing around...Such sights are so common yet so serious that it is high time that they were eliminated, because now we are living in a world short of fresh water and it is not exaggerating to say that every drop of water is precious. And although many of us don't have to worry about lack of food any more, there are still millions who are starving somewhere in the world. If we do not cherish things we have today, sooner or later we will be short of them, since many resources cannot be recycled.To reduce waste on campus, everyone should discipline himself: Turn off the light when you are the last to leave the classroom. Use metal or plastic chopsticks instead of disposable ones--and eat up! Keep a teacup in your school bag rather than throw each bottle away after it becomes empty!Directions:For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled Say No to Pirated Products. You should write at least 150 words following the outline given below:1. 目前盗版的现象比较严重2. 造成这种现象的原因及其危害3. 我们应该怎么做Say No to Pirated ProductsAt present, piracy is becoming unprecedentedly visible in China. Any products, like tapes, CDs and hi-tech devices, can be copied, not to mention books. Shortly after a newly-published book hits the shelves, people will unsurprisingly find its pirated counterparts in the stores.It has been widely believed that piracy has caused a great loss to legitimate producers, inventors and authors in many ways. To start with, pirated products often cost much less than the original ones, so they enjoy unbeatable advantage in price in spite of their relatively poor quality. The original ones, on the contrary, sell badly. As far as pirated books are concerned, they do great' harm to the authors' reputation due to their misprints. In the long run, pirated products may also have a negative impact on customers since those legitimate producers' enthusiasm may be greatly hurt by the fact that some customers are more inclined to purchase pirated products.In my opinion, it's high time that the government called on everyone to start the battle against piracy.Besides, as customers, we should develop our consciousness to resist pirated products. And laws should be strictly carried out to ban piracy from spreading any further. Only in this way can we put an end to piracy and create a healthy environment for both customers and producers.Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled Traveling Abroad. You should write at least 150 words based on the chart and outline given below:Number of people in City X traveling abroad in 1995, 2000 and 20051.近十年来X市有越来越多的人选择出境旅游2.出现这种现象的原因3.这种现象可能产生的影响Travelling AbroadThe diagram shows the numbers of people in City X traveling abroad in 1995, 2000 and 2005. As indicated in the table, in 1995, about 10,000 people in the city went sightseeing abroad. Five years later, in the year of 2000, the number increased greatly to 40,000. Another five years later, in 2005, the number dramatically tripled, reaching a surprising peak of more than 120,000. We can see clearly more and more people traveling abroad in the last ten years.One reason for this drastic increase can be attributed to the booming of Chinese economy in these years, which has significantly raised the income of the people. With more savings in their bank accounts, people no longer regard traveling abroad as a luxury which they could hardly afford before. This may also be due to the rapid development in the social culture in China, which have greatly broaded the horizons of the Chinese people and have made them more interested in the outside world. Indeed, few people now can resist the temptation of the sunlight in Thailand, the mysteries in Egypt and the beaches in Australia.This rapid development in traveling abroad is very rewarding. More Chinese tourists traveling abroad will surely promote China's economic and cultural exchange with other countries. And also, with increased contacts, there will be better mutual understanding between people of these countries. But the greatest benefit travel brings about is that it has greatly improved the quality of cultural life of the Chinese people.Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled The Digital Age. You should write at least 150 words following the outline given below.1. 如今数字化产品得到越来越广泛的使用,例如……2. 数字化产品的使用对人们工作、学习和辞海产生的影响The Digital Age分析:由上可见,此种模式的作文的第一段一般都是某一社会现象的描述。
