【篇一：2016年6月大学英语四级真题答案与解析】

directions: for this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a

letter to express your thanks to one of your friends who helped

you most when you were in difficulty. you should write at least

120 words but no more than 180 words.

今年四级时隔九年之后首次考了一道应用文写作，虽然出乎意料，但是大家可以根据题干中的关键词“letter”迅速判断今年要写的是书信。书信本身难度不大，但是需要特别注意英文书信的书写格式。

一、四级书信格式要求

1、抬头：收件人的姓名

2、正文：三段式

3、落款：祝福（yours sincerely）+写信人名

二、感谢信格式模板:

dear ______,

i am writing to extend my sincere gratitude for

__________________(感谢的原因). if it had not been for your

assistance in __________________(对方给你的具体帮助), i fear

that i would have been___________________(没有对方帮助时的后果).no one would disagree that it was you

who___________________________(给出细节).

again, i would like to express my warm thanks to you! please

accept my gratitude. best wishes.

yours sincerely，

li ming

（注意：抬头的dear+人名顶格靠左写，后面一定要加逗号！落款yours sincerely和写信人名顶格靠右写，yours sincerely后面也一定要加逗号！yours sincerely为书信的惯用套话，这个必须得有！）

三、真题解析

再来看看今天第三套试卷的写作。写作要求让自己写一封感谢信来表达你对帮助自己克服困难的朋友的感谢。虽然书信大家可能在复习的时候准备的较少，但其实只要抓住了书信的基本格式，即多了抬头和落款，正文的写作应该较为简单，尤其是第二段，大家可以按照熟悉的原因分析段的方式来写。

1、写作思路：

第一段：表明对朋友的感谢并点题；

第二段：朋友用哪些方式帮我在哪些方面克服了困难

第三段：再次表示对朋友诚挚的感谢并祝愿朋友身体健康。

2、范文：

dear tom,

i am writing to extend my sincere gratitude for your great help

when i failed that vital english interview. if it had not been for

your assistance in giving me those brilliant suggestions and

warm encouragement, i fear that i would have lost my way.

no one would disagree that it was you who stayed with me

and pulled me through the hard time. first and foremost, you

told me it is the priority for me to calm down. this is due to the

fact that the ability to stay sober and positive made me come

up with quite a few ideas to cope with the consequence that

failure

triggered. furthermore, you made me learn to analyze my lack

of interview skills and find solutions. plenty of evidence has

shown that this work played an indispensable role in my

success the next year. last but not the least, you helped to

build my confidence.

again, i would like to express my warm thanks to you! please

accept my gratitude. best wishes.

yours sincerely,

li ming

contrary to popular belief, older people generally do not want

to live with their children.

the case in the “good old days”, and most older people do

not feel about 80% of people 65years and older have living

children, and about 90% of themhave within 30 minutes of at

least one of their children.

having contact with children does not guarantee happiness in

old age. in fact, some research has found that people who are

most involved with their families have the ,however, as ill

health often makes older people more spirits.

increasingly, researchers have begun to look at the quality of

relationships, rather than at the frequency of contact, between

the elderly and their children. if parents and children share

interests and values and agree on childrearing practices and

religious , they are likely to enjoy each other’s company.

disagreements on such matters can cause problems. if parents

are agreed by their daughter’s divorce, dislike her new

husband, and disapprove of how she is raising are that they

are not going to enjoy her visits.

section b

directions: in this section, you are going to read a passage

with ten statements attached to it. each statement contains

information given in one of the paragraphs. identify the

paragraph from which the information is derived. you may

choose a paragraph more than once. each paragraph ismarked

with a letter. answer the questions by marking the

corresponding letter on answer sheet 2.

could food shortages bring down civilization?

[a] for many years i have studied global agricultural,

population, environmental and economic trends and their

interactions. the combined effects of those trends and the

political tensions they generate point to the breakdown of

governments and societies. yet i, too, have resisted the idea

that food shortages could bring down not only individual

governments but also our global civilization.

[b] i can no longer ignore that risk. our continuing failure to

deal with the environmental declines that are undermining the

world food economy forces me to conclude that such a

collapse is possible.

[c] as demand for food rises faster than supplies are growing,

the resulting food-price inflation puts severe stress on the

governments of many countries. unable to buy grain or grow

their own, hungry people take to the streets. indeed, even

before the steep climb in grain prices in 2008, the number of

failing states was expanding. if the food situation continues to

worsen, entire nations will break down at an ever increasing

rate. in the 20th century the main threat to international

security was superpower conflict; today it is failing states.

[d] states fail when national governments can no longer

provide personal security, food security

and basic social services such as education and health care.

when governments lose their control on power, law and order

begin to disintegrate. after a point, countries can become so

dangerous that food relief workers are no longer safe and their

programs are halted. failing states are of international concern

because they are a source of terrorists, drugs, weapons and

refugees(难民), threatening political stability everywhere.

[e]the surge in world grain prices in 2007 and 2008—and the

threat they pose to food

security——has a different, more troubling quality than the

increases of the past. during the second half of the 20th

century, grain prices rose dramatically several times. in 1972,

for instance, the soviets, recognizing their poor harvest early,

quietly cornered the world wheat market. as a result, wheat

prices elsewhere more than doubled, pulling rice and corn

prices up with them. but this and other price shocks were

event-driven——drought in the soviet union, crop-shrinking

heat in the u.s. corn belt. and the rises were short-lived: prices

typically returned to normal with the next harvest.

[f]in contrast, the recent surge in world grain prices is trend-driven, making it unlikely to reverse

[g]as incomes rise among low-income consumers, the

potential for further grain consumption is huge. but that

potential pales beside the never-ending demand for crop-based fuels. a fourth of this year’s u.s. grain harvest will go to

fuel cars.

[h]what about supply? the three environmental trends——the

shortage of fresh water, the loss of topsoil and the rising

temperatures——are making it increasingly hard to expand the

world’s grain supply fast enough to keep up with demand. of

all those trends, however, the spread of water shortages poses

the most immediate threat. the biggest challenge here is

irrigation, which consumes 70% the world’s fresh water.

millions of irrigation wells in many countries are now pumping

water out of underground sources faster than rainfall can refill

them. the result is falling water tables(地下水位)in countries

with half the world’s people, including the three big grain

producers——china, india and the u.s.

[i]as water tables have fallen and irrigation wells have gone

dry, china’s wheat crop, the world’s largest, has declined by 8%

since it peaked at 123 million tons in 1997. but water shortages

are even more worrying in india. millions of irrigation wells

have significantly lowered water tables in almost every state.

[j]as the world’s food security falls to pieces, individual

countries acting in their own self-interest are actually

worsening the troubles of many. the trend began in 2007, when

leading wheat-exporting countries such as russia and

argentina limited or banned their exports, in hopes of

increasing local food supplies and thereby bringing down

domestic food prices. vietnam banned its exports for several

months for the same reason. such moves may eliminate the

fears of those living in the exporting countries, but they are

creating panic in importing countries that must rely on what is

then left for export.

[k]in response to those restrictions, grain-importing countries

are trying to nail down long-term trade agreements that would

lock up future grain supplies. food-import anxiety is even

leading to new efforts by food-importing countries to buy or

lease farmland in other countries. in spite of such temporary

measures, soaring food prices and spreading hunger in many

other countries
