2018年12月英语四级听力解析

　　Passage Three

　　主旨内容：

　　孩子的教育。孩子们第一次上学时，家长可能会兴奋，可能悲伤，感情复杂。孩子出生时，家长对孩子的教育和孩子模仿家长就已开始。

　　参考原文：

　　When children start school for the very first time parents often feel a sense of excitement coupled with a touch of sadness at the end of an era. This is the start of a new adventure for children playing and interacting with new friends sharing, taking turns and settling into a new routine. But of course, this is not the start of your child’s education which in fact began at birth. Back then, you would have been your child’s most influential teachers. During this time at home, your child would have learnt more than at any other period in their life. During your child’s first year in school much time will be spent in learning to read and they need to know that this is fun and worthwhile. Your child will naturally copy you so it is important that you are seen reading and enjoying books newspapers and magazines rather than just absorbed in screens. Ultimately an excellent education should be a close partnership between parents and teachers. A child’s year splits fairly neatly into thirds: a third at school, a third asleep and a third awake at home or on holiday. Irrespective of the quality of a school a child’s home life is of key importance. It is the determining factor of their academic success. Your child may have started on a new journey but your work is far from finished.

　　22. How do parents feel when their children start going to school?

　　Excite but somewhat sad

　　23. What does the passage say about children’s education?

　　It depends on their parents to success

　　24. What should parents do for the success of their children’s education?

　　Their home life

　　今年的题目直接沿袭了6月份的考法，我们可以看出命题人所出题目开始关注社会热点现象，想要考查学生分析问题解决问题的能力。所以我们要把重点放在解决挑战的建议上，即我们要提出几条可行性的方法(methods)或者建议(suggestions)，我们可以按照这样的写作思路来进行谋篇布局。

　　第一段：论述现象

　　第二段：会面对什么样的挑战 +举例子

　　第三段：面对这样的挑战，有什么样的解决方法，大概写2-3点，然后总结全文。

　　第一段：引出主题—— “论述现象，引出话题”。

　　Currently, there is a phenomenon that a number of graduates choose to live in a big city after graduation.For example, 70% my classmates prefer to find job in big cities like Beijing,Shanghaiand Shenzhen. While, settling down in a big city is not easy.

　　第二段:论述面对的挑战有什么+ 带来的结果

　　Living in a big city,we may meet a lot of challenges as follows: in the first place,people, especially the young,have to face the surprisingly high price of housing. Generally, we may spend half of our entire salary on housing. In the second place, people may feel lonely, because we are so busy that we hardly have time to meet our friends. Even some of us have no time to spend with their parents. In the end, comparing with living in a small city, living in a big one makes us often feel too much pressure, and too much pressure may lead to some mental illness.

　　译文：生活在大城市，我们会面对以下的挑战，首先，尤其是年轻人，需要面对高昂的房价，这样的挑战使得我们不得将每个月的薪水用来支付高房价。第二，我们会经常感到孤独，因为我们太忙了以至于我们几乎没有时间与我们的朋友见面，甚至，我们机会没时间陪伴我们的父母。最后，与小城市相比，生活在大城市经常让我们感到压力，这样的压力会给我们带来心理方面的疾病。

On the other hand, you should keep studying in order to improve your ability.

　　另附写作范文新东方呼和浩特学校曹晶

　　In contemporary society, a growing number of residents tend to live in a big city in which they could get more work opportunities, excellent education, and other high-quality resources. However, living in a big city, from my perspective, also may bring us a number of challenges.

　　Firstly, it is obvious that the high price of housing gives youngsters a great deal of pressure, making them struggle for a better living condition. Then, the terrible traffic may even become a primary factor that costsyou much time on your way to work. More importantly, compared with living in rural areas, living in a big city sometimes means you have to tolerate the unpleasant air condition.

　　Given all these, living in a big city may not be an easy thing. But if we are willing to make efforts to change some little things, I believe that we would have a bright future. By the way, nothing can stop us from striving for our goals.

　　综上所述，今年的四级作文符合常规，典型的议论文，议论文就按照三步走套路：第一步：描述现象，第二步：论述事实+带来的结果，第三步：总结+提建议的套路，建议考生平时复习同类型文章时可以采用上述步骤。
