2.在中国文化中,红色一般象征着好运、长寿和幸福.在春节和其他喜庆场所,红色到处可见.人们把现金作为礼品送给家人或亲密朋友时,一般放在红色信封里.红色在中国流行的另一种原因是人们把它与中国革命和共产党相联络.然而,红色并不总是代表好运和快乐.由于从死前者名字一般用红色书写,用红墨水书写中国人名被当作是一种冒犯行为.月大学英语四级答案第一套12PartI writing30minutes破题思绪第一段话题描述.第二段表明观点+论述原因.第三段观点结论.选择就业还是创业参照范文Finding aJob FirstUpongraduation,virtually allcollege studentswill confrontthe problemof thecareer choice,which istruly atough choice.Students opinionsdiffer greatlyon thisissue.Some holdthat priorityshouldbe givento starta businessofyourown,but otherstake theattitude thatfinding ajob isthebest choiceinfluencing theirfuture.As tomyself,I preferthe latterview.An opportunitytostartabusinessexerts atremendousfascination ona greatnumber ofpeople,with noexception tome.In myview,With thecompetitionin the job marketbecoming increasinglyfierce forcollege graduates,some ambitiousstudentshave triedtheir handsat launchingtheir ownbusinesses.Over theyears,there have beenmany successfulcases ofstudent entrepreneurshipand suchattempts shouldbe encouragedandpromoted byboth theuniversities and the societyat large.Whafs more,College studentswho startbusinessesare pioneers,among whomwill bebom Chinasfuture businessleaders.Faced withunknownchallenges,theyareaudacious enoughto embarkonaperilous journeywhile mostoftheir peersenjoy stablesalaries byworking aswhite-collars athigh-end officebuildings.All inall,the essentialdifference betweenthe studentswho find ajobor thosestudents whocreatetheir ownbusinesses isthat theformer aredocile followerswhereas thelatter areaggressivetrailblazers.Forthisreason,business-launching collegegraduates aremore admirable,and thustheycommand ourdeep respect.PartII ListeningComprehension25minutes【英语四级听力真题解析】听力作为一种考试题型,目的在于考察应试者对英语语言时把握,自从英语四级题型改革后,所选题材侧重新闻稿和演讲稿,例如这次英语四级考试日勺部分,重Section A要是有关采盐工人的有关新闻报导,文章稍难,我们在作答之前,一定要迅速浏览各题目的选项,先把关键关键词划出来,例如重要的名词,名词性短语等,这样可以协助我们预知要听的重点,提高捕捉信息的精确度,减少听力材料的难度.在听录音的过程中,迅速I作标识,锁定对的答案.
