2006专四答案解析

PART I DICTATION
The Internet
The Internet is the most significant progress in the field of communications. Imagine a book that
never ends, a library with million floors,or imagine a research project with thousands of
scientists working around the clock forever. This is the magic of the Internet. Yet the Internet has
the potential for good and bad. One can find well-organized information- rich websites. At the
same time, one can also find wasteful websites. Most websites are known as different Internet
applications. These include online games, chartrooms and so on. These applications have great
power, too. Sometimes the power can be so great that young people may easily become victims to
their attraction. So we need to recognize the seriousness of the problem. We must work together
to use its power for better ends.

要是在爱发短信的人身上得以体现. (B,C选项都是跨段内容,首先排除)

PART IV WRITING

SECTION A COMPOSITION
Saving Money or Spending Tomorrow’s Money
Recently a Beijing information company did a survey of student life among more than 700
students in Beijing, Guangzhou, Xi’an, Chengdu and Shanghai, etc. To my surprise, almost 67
percent of students regarded saving money as a good habit. As far as I am concerned, spending
tomorrow’s money today is a better and wiser option.
First of all, spending tomorrow’s money may improve our living standards and enable us to
live a happy and well-to-do life. Still remember the wide-spread story about two old ladies—one
is American and the other is Chinese. In her life the American lady spent tomorrow’s money,
enjoying the capacious houses, luxurious cars and all the modern electrical appliances. Before she
died, she had paid off all her loans, and she said she had no regret in her life and she had led a
happy life. On the other hand, the Chinese one just saved money, living a hard life. When she died,
she finally could afford the luxurious houses with her savings, but she had no time to enjoy it any
longer. What a poor lady!
What’s more, spending tomorrow’s money also plays a significant role in the economy of our
country. Since it can spur people to make more money to enjoy life, the consumerism by this trend
will undoubtedly drive forward our economy. With the country’s economy developed, the best
beneficiary is our common people. In other word, it is the best way to ensure a life free from
poverty and anxiety about future.
All in all, with benefits to both our personal lives and the development of the country,
spending tomorrow’s money in advance will be a sensible choice, comparing with a life of saving
money all life long which will surely brings us poverty.
