　　Attend Your Classes Regularly

　　Nowadays it is a very common phenomenon that some university students are late for or even absent from classes. And still there are some students who slip out of the classroom before the class is over. Class attendance has become a thorny problem to both the students and teachers. In fact, it is very important for the students to attend their classes regularly. First, it will ensure you to catch up with the teachers in your learning. That is very helpful to you if you want to do a good job in your study. Second, attending classes regularly is a way of showing respect to your teachers, too. Your teachers will feel bad if the students do not attend their classes, which, in turn, will affect their teaching and be no good for the students. Third, attending classes regularly will help to form a good habit of punctuality, which is of great importance for the students to do a good job in the future.

　　Therefore, we university students should form the good habit of attending our classes regularly from now on. And some day we‘ll benefit from it.

　　预测二

　　For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic: Students’ Rating of Their Teachers。You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below in Chinese.

　　1. 学生给老师打分已经普遍

　　2. 人们对其持不同态度

　　3. 我的看法

　　Students’ Rating of Their Teachers

　　Nowadays, it has become as common in colleges and universities for students to grade teachers as for teachers to grade students. In some universities students‘ rating has even become the only source of information on teaching effectiveness.

　　This, however, has caused great controversy. Some are in favor of the rating system. They hold that since students attend the teachers‘ classes every day, they should have their opinion about their teachers‘ effectiveness. Others, on the contrary, are strongly against it. They believe that there is much more to teaching than what is shown on students‘ rating forms. Students should not be expected to judge whether the materials they use are up to date or how well the teacher knows about the subject. These judgments require professional knowledge, which is best left for the

　　teachers‘ colleagues.

　　I think students‘ rating of their teachers is necessary, but it should be conducted in a way that can really shed meaningful light on teachers‘ performance. Instead of rating the teachers‘ knowledge on the subject, students should be asked to estimate what they have learned in a course, and to report on such things as a teacher‘s ability to communicate with students, his or her relationship with students, and his or her ability to arouse students‘ interest in the subject.

　　点评：越来越多的高校采取让学生给老师打分的形式来了解教学反馈，并以此作为促进教学质量的有效手段。对此做法，管理部门及教学双方褒贬不一，看法迥异。本预测题为校园生活热议话题，值得关注。

　　On a Harmonious Dormitory Life

　　Dormitory life is an indispensable part of college life. But sometimes the harmony in the dormitory be disturbed in one way or another.

　　As is known to all, a harmonious dormitory life is important to college students and benefits all the members. On one hand, we can have a good rest and put our heart into study. On the other hand, we will have a good mood and enjoy being together.

　　There are several ways to create and maintain a harmonious dormitory life. Firstly, you have to evaluate your life-style and try to get rid of your dirty habits, if there are any. Secondly, when an annoying situation arises, you‘ll just have to learn to tolerate each other and co-exist. Thirdly, you‘ll have to share with each other and make good friends.

　　In conclusion, we should try our best to build a harmonious dormitory life for the sake of good study and good life.

　　点评：“和谐”成为我们当今社会词频概率最高用词，就社会而言，倡导建立和谐社会；就家庭而言，提倡建设和谐家庭；就校园来讲，则要建立和谐校园；和谐两字似乎无所不在，大学生宿舍生活同样需要和谐。本预测题与四级考试热点密切相关，又为典型的校园生活主题，值得关注。

　　Distinguished guests,

　　Welcome to our university. Before you start to look around, allow me to give you a brief account

　　of the school.

　　Founded in 1927, our university is one of this city‘s earliest universities of liberal arts. It is staffed with an excellent faculty, and has a total enrollment of over 10,000 students. In the past years, it has turned out numerous well-qualified students and found its graduates active in professions of all walks of life.

　　Since its establishment, the university has always steered itself toward the objective that its students have an overall healthy development. Not only does it provide the students with basic academic courses, but it manages to expose them to the up-to-date knowledge. Besides, students are free to participate in colorful campus activities and social practice, which are intended for broadening their mind and developing their potential talent.

　　Currently, both our faculty and students are making every effort to improve the quality of our education in the direction of a first-rate university. Thank you.

　　点评：近几年，随着我国顺利加入世贸组织以及经济全球化步伐的加快，许多国内高校纷纷与国外大学合作办学，教育走向国际化成为人们关注的热点，也是大学生门比较关心的热点问题。本预测题为热议校园生活话题，与2004年旅游景点介绍2006年考查的名校校园开放如出一辙。

　　预测五

　　Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a letter to a friend who will come to your city to see you. You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below in Chinese:

　　假设你是李明, 你的一个朋友张伟准备到你所在的城市来旅游，但你有事不能接待。写封信给他，解释你不能接待的原因，并说明你所做的安排。

　　A Letter to a Friend

　　Dear Zhang Wei,

　　I‘m glad to know that you are coming to my city during the summer vacation.

　　However, I‘m afraid there‘s some bad news. I‘m planning to take part in an international conference to be held in another city during the time of your visit. All the top scientists in my field will show up at the conference. More importantly, I‘m lucky enough to have been selected to give a speech on behalf of my research team at the Conference. I really can‘t miss it.

　　I understand that it‘ll be your first time to this city and I‘m your only friend here. I‘ve asked my roommate to meet you at the airport, and you can stay in my room. He is a very nice person and he will show you around the city. Hope you two will get on well and have a nice holiday! Yours,

　　Li Ming

　　点评：本预测题与2001年6月考查的A Letter to a Schoolmate 类似，所不同是写作提示有所不同，2001年6月作文题是写信对校友来度假表示欢迎并在信中提出建议和注意事项，而本预测题是对朋友来访不能接待，同时在信中说明原因及具体安排，内容不一，但话题相仿，写作思路相似，值得关注。

　　预测六

　　For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic: Living alone or Living with Roommates? You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below in

　　Chinese.

　　1． 有人认为大学里应独自生活

　　2． 另一些认为大学里应与别人同住

　　3． 你的看法

　　Living alone or Living with Roommates

　　Nowadays, there has appeared a heated discussion among the college students as to whether they should live alone outside the campus or live together with other roommates in the students‘ dormitory. Opinions are divided over the matter.

　　Those who are in favor of living alone maintain that it is very convenient to live by themselves. They can enjoy absolute freedom in a room of their own. They can have their own timetable without disturbing others. They are also free to equip the room with a personal computer so that they can have easy access to the Internet.

　　But others argue that living with roommates has attractions of its own. With several students sharing the same room, each person‘s experiences can be greatly enriched. They can learn a lot from talking to one another. By learning to tolerate the differences between individuals, they can become more mature.

　　As far as I‘m concerned, I prefer to live with roommates because I love the feeling of belonging. Besides, it is a lot cheaper to live in a dorm than to rent a apartment outside the campus.

　　点评：本文与校园生活密切相关，也是近年来出现的现象，人们对此的看法各异，2003年后，四级作文考查加大了学校生活类题目的考查，因为这类题材不存在地域的差异，不同地域的同学都有话可说。本预测题即为校园生活类话题，与刚考完的四级作文话题类似，符合命题者出题思路，值得引起重视。

　　预测七

　　As is shown in the chart, cell phones are becoming increasingly popular within China. In 1999, the number of cell phones in use was only 2 million, but in 2003, the number reaches 5 million. And in the year 2005, the number has suddenly soared to 9 million.

　　There are many factors contributing to this development. Firstly, a cell phone has no wires and can be carried everywhere easily. Secondly, a cell phone is something wonderful that we can have fun with news, games, music and chat through sending short messages. Thirdly, the drop in price and the simultaneous improvement in the functions have made it possible for an average person to make use of cell phone.

　　The wide use of cell phones has make them more and more indispensable in people‘s daily life. The many functions of the cell phone have made certain people reluctant to separate themselves from their cell phone.

　　点评：随着我国经济的快速发展，人民的生活水平不断改善，通讯业的日新月异的发展，使得手机使用普及化，成为人们日常生活的必需品，对此的利弊人们看法各异。本预测题为热点话题，同样是年轻人较熟悉和经常讨论的话题，值得关注。

　　预测八

　　1. 广告的作用

　　2. 广告的形式多样

　　3. 广告的夸张性

　　Advertisement

　　Advertisements are forcing their way into people‘s lives. People refer to advertisements in their daily lives because they are consumers. The advertisers are usually manufacturers, retailers and salesmen. Their merchandise needs to be advertised to bring it to the attention to the customers. Thus nearly every product is advertised in some way. To a large extent, good advertising leads to success while bad advertising can mean failure.

　　There are many ways to advertise and ?ads‘ come in different forms. Newspapers carry advertisements. Some products are publicized on TV and radio which bring them into notice of a wide audience. Billboards also carry advertising. Advertising is a big industry now and many agencies have been set up to furnish a variety of forms..

　　However, advertising is not always truthful. A product is often misrepresented. The advertiser exaggerates the benefits of the merchandise he wants to sell. Thus, he misrepresents the truth. The consumer falls victim to such advertising. Millions of people have bought advertised products and have been dissatisfied with them。
