四级作文的考试要求及评分标准

◆第一章◆　四级作文的考试要求及评分标准

一、考试要求

英语四级作文要求考生30分钟内完成一篇120～180字的短文。题材上：注重现实性，即贴近大学生生活、学习以及未来工作、人生等方面的态度和看法；另外，社会正在发生的热点事件、社会变化发展进步的热点问题也是四级作文题常常涉及的题材。类型上：议论文、说明文、记叙文和应用文。出题形式：其一是给出中文或英文提纲，要求考生根据中文或英文提纲提示完成文章的谋篇和写作，一般为说明文或议论文；其二是给出一个特定情境，如朋友受伤、招收新学员、张贴海报等，要求考生就特定情境进行描述即记叙文或应用文。这种出题方式由于有提纲的提示，只要考生能够按照提纲展开论述，一般较为容易把控。但是值得注意的是最近的四级作文题却只给出英文题目和一个相关材料，如幽默论述、名人名言、图画或者是一些观点，让考生给予评论，没有提纲提示，因此对学生的审题和谋篇提出了更高的要求。

二、评分标准

大学英语考试作文题采用总体评分（Global Scoring）方法。阅卷人员就总的印象给出奖励分（Reward Scores），而不是按语言点的错误数目扣分。具体来说就是从内容和语言两个方面对作文进行综合评判。内容和语言是一个统一体，作文应表达题目所规定的内容，而内容要通过语言来表达。要考虑作文是否切题，是否充分表达思想，也要考虑是否用英语清楚而确切地表达思想，也就是要考虑语言上的错误是否造成理解上的障碍。

例如：

2012年6月四级作文

14分　切题。表达思想清楚，文字通顺，连贯性好。基本上无语言错误，仅有个别小错误。

These days，many kinds ofgoods tend to be excessively packaged，especially gifts．People seem to be more and more attracted to the beautiful decorations，rather than the commodity itself．Theremay be several reasons for this phenomenon．

Firstly，many consumers are not sensible enough．They are easily captured by the nice appearance of the goods they intend to buy．So the salesmen take it as a way to attract their potential consumers．Secondly，and more importantly，people today buy things not only for themselves，but also for their leaders，workmates，or friends．In this case，the quality and practical uses of the goodsmay give way to nice-looking packaging．

As far as I’m concerned，excessive packaging is really an unnecessary waste．It is of no practical use，and people always throw its package away at once．So it is quite urgent to curb this kind of phenomenon．For the consumers，they need to be more sensible．And for manufacturers，what they should do is not attract people with useless decorations，but provide commodities of better quality．

11分　切题。表达思想清楚，文字连贯，但有少量语言错误。

Nowadays，a lot of goods are excessively packaged．For example，it’s reported that for mostmooncakes，the packaging cost is farmore expensive than the product itself．

The shopping preference of customers is to blame．Businessmen are aware that quite a few customerswould like to buy products that look attractive，so theymake their best satisfying the desire．Moreover，some people use the excessively packaged products as gifts，so in their minds，themore expensive the packaging is，the better they will impress the receivers．All of these lead to over-packaging．

Inmy opinion，excessive packaging is such a waste．It will benefit nobody at all but do harm to the environment．Excessive packaging requires lots of natural resources，butwhen it is thrown away，itgoes back to the environmentas pollution．So Istrongly support the government releasing banning law on this issue．Besides，we customers should change our shopping taste for a green one．When there is no need，there is no production．

8分　基本切题。有些地方表达思想不够清楚，文字勉强连贯；语言错误相当多，其中有一些是严重错误。

Recently，there are many goods are excessively packaging in the shops and markets，Especially the peoplewould like to celebrate traditional festivalsmore andmore．And the goods aremore excessive packaged．

So，why do we always see the excessive packaging？I think it is up to us．Today，the development ofour society arewitnessed by ourselves．Peoplewould like to see beautiful things and royal things．That is themain reason why the excessive packaging appears everywhere．On the other hand，the sellers wants to sell good price so they package the goods excessive that they can havemoremoney．

In my opinion，the excessive packaging is a normal thing．People like beautiful and expensive packaging to give to their families and friends．Because it looks like very good，the peoplewho you give would feel happy．But we should save somemoney．If everyone wants to savemoney，will the excessive packaging appear？

5分　基本切题。表达思想不清楚，连贯性差。有较多的严重语言错误。

There is a question thatmany things have been packaged more than which there need today．Such as ourmoon cakes，comic books．People put them in many boxes which colorful．These boxes are unnecessary．This problem called an excessive packaging．

As we know，colorful and pretty things can always getmore people attention and prefer．The thingswe boughtwhich havemore package，we think these aremore expansive and have morewealth．To people’s need，we make the package heavier and heavier．Times by，the package ismore than it excessive actually．

This question can causemany problems like environment pollution．Becausewe need trees tomake boxeswhich used to package．As long as I think，we buy things justwant to get them work，many packages are unnecessary．If we can stop excessive packaging，the envirnment problem will less and less，we will use few money also．

2分　条理不清，思路紊乱，语言支离破碎或大部分句子均有错误，且多数为严重错误。

Now，the Excessive packagingmore thing．I think people looking this excessive packaging is because they love beautiful．So they thinkmustwill excessive packaging．

But I think this is a mistake．Because people will that notmust excessive packaging．I belive they alway look self misstake．But they sometimes not think．Because they has more money，they not can thismoney．If they has smallmoney，that alway ismustmoney．

So，theyself look is amoremoney or smallmoney question．But，that ismisstake．Because they if looking theyself feel，not looking people feel，that they will not can people love．They will not can country love．

But I think，if they can’t excessive packaging，that they will can people and country love．So，when they has on excessive packaging，they can more people love．

In the end，I think people can’t havemisstake．
