1. 信息安全问题日益重要

2. 信息安全事故可能导致的危害

3. 如何做到信息安全

Information Security

The human beings are stepping into the information society. The information industry develops very rapidly, so do the hackers, trick-playing teens, exploring children, fraudsters, and serious white-collar criminals. Thus, information security becomes an impending important issue.

In case of information breach, the victims-----government department, an organization or an institution, or a company will inevitably suffer great or small loss. Government may be threatened with national security. Companies may lose opportunities to develop new projects. And the public’s and users’ confidence will be damaged.

Then how to deal with this issue? Technology is only a partial solution to information security. What’s more important is that organizations and companies should promote the awareness on information security to its staff. However, since no system can ever be 100 percent secure, a prevention-only approach to information security management is not enough. Companies and organizations should adopt a dual approach to information security management by combing prevention and detection techniques.

点评：随着我们步入信息社会和计算机应用的普及，利用计算机犯罪案件不断上升，信息安全事故频繁发生，媒体也不时有大量相关报道，如何保护信息安全成为人们关注的焦点，本预测题为社会热点，值得关注。

预测三
Directions:For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic: No pains,no gains You should write at least120 words following the outline below in Chinese.

1. 为什么说“不劳就无获”

2. 试举例说明

No pains, no gains

Nearly every civilization has its own equivalent to the proverb “ No pains, no gains.” It means that nothing can be gained without painstaking efforts and that no knowledge or skill can be acquired without sweat or toil.
You don’t have to look very far too prove the truth of the proverb. Darwin’s great discovery was not the work of a moment but was preceded by years of patient, arduous observation. Mozart was not an accomplished pianist at the age of eight as the result of watching countless hours of TV. Nor did Edison make himself the greatest inventor in the modern world by spending his spare time on going to parties or bars. His words “Genius is 99 percent perspiration and one percent inspiration ,reveals the secret of thousands of successful men and women. All accomplishments and success come from sustained endeavor.

Although it is an old saying,“ no pains no gains” has its profound and realistic significance in our college studies. To acquire knowledge in a particular field and to attain any academic goals, great exertion and persistent effort are undoubtedly required because we all know that “No pains, no gains.”

点评：该预测题与四级1997年1月作文命题类似，属于论证道理性的解释性说明文写作，已有多年未考，值得关注。根据此类作文命题规律，第一段对这一格言所蕴涵的意义做了解释和界定。第二段举例说明了其哲理性；最后一段说明它的现实意义，重述主题。

预测四
Directions:For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic: Lectures or Discussions. You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below in Chinese.

1． 一些学生赞成讲座式教学

2． 另一些学生偏爱讨论式教学

3． 你的看法

Lectures and Discussions

There is a heated debate over the role of lectures and discussions in the classroom. Some people believe that lectures can help students learn more quickly. In contrast, others hold that discussions can stimulate students to learn by themselves.

Those who hold the first opinion suggest that students attend more lectures. In their view, by giving lectures teachers help students master the knowledge they’ve accumulated over years of study and research. However, others think that in a discussion, the teacher usually guides the students instead of dominating them. They argue that to get involved in a discussion, students have to develop their ability to analyze problems independently.
In my opinion, I stand on the side of neither idea. First of all, either method has its disadvantages. Furthermore, each student has his or her preference. Thirdly, lectures ate preferable to discussions in the teaching of science subjects, and on the contrary, discussions are preferable to lectures in studying the humanities. Therefore, we should adopt different teaching methods according to different subjects.

点评：2007年12月考查了大学生选修课话题，再次证明四级作文命题自2003年以后侧重于校园生活话题，该预测与校园生活联系紧密，为四级作文命题经常关注的话题。本文属于对比观点加作者态度型的议论文写作。

Directions:For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic: My View on Online Education.You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below in Chinese.

1. 目前网络教育形成热潮

2. 你认为这股热潮形成的原因

3. 你对网络教育的评价

My View on Online Education.

Being online is no longer something new or fresh in our life. To some extent, it has become part of our daily life. We can do a lot of things online, such as searching for information and communicating with friends far away. But recently another helpful online activity has become very “in”. That is online education.

Why could online education be so popular within such a short period of time? Among other reasons, the quick development of the Internet should be an essential one, which makes all our dreams of attending class in the distance possible. Another underlying reason is the quick development of both society and technology. Today, modern science and technology is developing with fantastic speed. To catch up with this development we all feel an urgent and strong desire to study. However, due to the great pace of modern society, many people are too busy to study full time at school. Online education just comes to their aid.

Personally, I appreciate this new form of education. It’s indeed a helpful complement to the traditional educational means. It can provide different learners with more flexible and versatile ways of learning. Best of all, with online education, we can stick to our jobs and at the same time study and absorb the latest knowledge.

点评：英特网的迅速发展改变了人们的生活和学习、工作方式，现代生活节奏快、工作忙导致人们没时间全日制的学习，网络和远程教育正好满足了人们的学习需要，许多大学生利用因特网学习知识，它成为传统教学的有益补充。本预测题贴近时代，也与大学生校园生活相关，值得重视。

云南之旅 　
　　第一部——云南简介 　
　　云南在我国的西南方向，那里有26个民族，有白族、彝族、傣族等。 　
　　告诉你云南有两个名字。一个是云南、一个是春城。因为它一年四季的温度都和春天一样。不像其他的地方、春天暖和、夏天热、秋天凉、冬天冷，有时还会下大雪。所以叫春城。我问了一下叔叔：“你们这里的最高温度是多少？最低温度是多少？”答案出乎我的意料，最冷不低于5度，最热不超30度。夏天只有十几度。你听了一定想住在那里。可是，你得住在昆明，因为昆明才好找旅馆。告诉你，昆明的交通很堵，因为他们那里两三百米就有一个红绿灯，本来坐公交车只要一个小时，可是在昆明就要一个半小时了。所以，我也不在那里玩，我就坐车去石林玩了。 　
　　如果想知道我在石林玩了什么，请看第二部 　
　　观赏636f7079e799bee5baa6e79fa5e98193339石林吧！ 　
　　第二部——观赏石林 　
　　一部分 　
　　我来到石林，听导游说，这里以前是海底，还说最高的地方有1400多米，最低的地方有1100米左右。我问：“导游，等会儿会不会去那里呢？”她说：“会的，就看你怕不怕，因为那是一条非常危险的小路。工作人员为了游客的安全，专门在小路的旁边修了扶手，免得掉下去就没有命了。 　
　　说着就来到了石林的中央。我的眼前一下子布满了高大的石头。这时候。导游又说：”最高的石头有40米。本来有50多米的，前几年有一次地震，把石头震了下来，所以就变低了。 　
　　走着走着，突然，导游问：“这是一个拍摄西游记的什么地方？”我看了看，上面象五座山，下面有个洞。我想了想说：“这里是孙悟空被压在五指山下的拍摄地。”导游笑眯眯的说“答对了，其实，这里还有好几个拍西游记的地方！” 　
　　于是，我连忙爬进去看看，石头后面是空的，正好能爬进去照相。于是，我照了几张很有意思的、象孙悟空的照片。

For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic: Attend Your Classes Regularly。You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below in Chinese.

1. 现在大学校园里，迟到、早退、旷课是常见的现象

2. 保证学生的出勤率对大学教育的重要性

3. 作为一个大学生应该怎样做

Attend Your Classes Regularly

Nowadays it is a very common phenomenon that some university students are late for or even absent from classes. And still there are some students who slip out of the classroom before the class is over. Class attendance has become a thorny problem to both the students and teachers.

In fact, it is very important for the students to attend their classes regularly. First, it will ensure you to catch up with the teachers in your learning. That is very helpful to you if you want to do a good job in your study. Second, attending classes regularly is a way of showing respect to your teachers ,too. Your teachers will feel bad if the students do not attend their classes, which, in turn, will affect their teaching and be no good for the students. Third, attending classes regularly will help to form a good habit of punctuality, which is of great importance for the students to do a good job in the future.

Therefore, we university students should form the good habit of attending our classes regularly from now on. And some day we’ll benefit from it.

预测二

For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic: Students’ Rating of Their Teachers。You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below in Chinese.

1. 学生给老师打分已经普遍

2. 人们对其持不同态度

3. 我的看法

Students’ Rating of Their Teachers

Nowadays, it has become as common in colleges and universities for students to grade teachers as for teachers to grade students. In some universities students’ rating has even become the only source of information on teaching effectiveness..

This, however, has caused great controversy. Some are in favor of the rating system, They hold that since students attend the teachers’ classes every day, they should have their opinion about their teachers’ effectiveness. Others, on the contrary, are strongly against it. They believe that there is much more to teaching than what is shown on students’ rating forms. Students should not be expected to judge whether the materials they use are up to date or how well the teacher knows about the subject. These judgments require professional knowledge, which is best left for the teachers’ colleagues.

I think students’ rating of their teachers is necessary, but it should be conducted in a way that can really shed meaningful light on teachers’ performance. Instead of rating the teachers’ knowledge on the subject, students should be asked to estimate what they have learned in a course, and to report on such things as a teacher’s ability to communicate with students, his or her relationship with students, and his or her ability to arouse students’ interest in the subject.

点评：越来越多的高校采取让学生给老师打分的形式来了解教学反馈，并以此作为促进教学质量的有效手段。对此做法，管理部门及教学双方褒贬不一，看法迥异。本预测题为校园生活热议话题，值得关注。

Dormitory life is an indispensable part of college life. But sometimes the harmony in the dormitory be disturbed in one way or another.

As is known to all, a harmonious dormitory life is important to college students and benefits all the members. On one hand, we can have a good rest and put our heart into study. On the other hand, we will have a good mood and enjoy being together.

There are several ways to create and maintain a harmonious dormitory life. Firstly, you have to evaluate your life-style and try to get rid of your dirty habits, if there are any. Secondly, when an annoying situation arises, you’ll just have to learn to tolerate each other and co-exist. Thirdly, you’ll have to share with each other and make good friends.

In conclusion, we should try our best to build a harmonious dormitory life for the sake of good study and good life.

Dear Zhang Wei,

I’m glad to know that you are coming to my city during the summer vacation.

However, I’m afraid there’s some bad news. I’m planning to take part in an international conference to be held in another city during the time of your visit. All the top scientists in my field will show up at the conference. More importantly, I’m lucky enough to have been selected to give a speech on behalf of my research team at the Conference. I really can’t miss it.

I understand that it’ll be your first time to this city and I’m your only friend here. I’ve asked my roommate to meet you at the airport, and you can stay in my room. He is a very nice person and he will show you around the city. Hope you two will get on well and have a nice holiday!

Yours,

Li Ming

点评：本预测题与2001年6月考查的A Letter to a Schoolmate 类似，所不同是写作提示有所不同，2001年6月作文题是写信对校友来度假表示欢迎并在信中提出建议和注意事项，而本预测题是对朋友来访不能接待，同时在信中说明原因及具体安排，内容不一，但话题相仿，写作思路相似，值得关注。

预测六

For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic: Living alone or Living with Roommates? You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below in Chinese.

1. 有人认为大学里应独自生活

2. 另一些认为大学里应与别人同住

3. 你的看法

Living alone or Living with Roommates

Nowadays, there has appeared a heated discussion among the college students as to whether they should live alone outside the campus or live together with other roommates in the students’ dormitory. Opinions are divided over the matter.

Those who are in favor of Living alone maintain that it is very convenient to live by themselves. They can enjoy absolute freedom in a room of their own. They can have their own timetable without disturbing others. They are also free to equip the room with a personal computer so that they can have easy access to the Internet.

But others argue that living with roommates has attractions of its own. With several students sharing the same room, each person’s experiences can be greatly enriched. They can learn a lot from talking to one another. By learning to tolerate the differences between individuals, they can become more mature.

As far as I’m concerned, I prefer to live with roommates because I love the feeling of belonging. Besides, it is a lot cheaper to live in a dorm than to rent a apartment outside the campus.

点评：本文与校园生活密切相关，也是近年来出现的现象，人们对此的看法各异，2003年后，四级作文考查加大了学校生活类题目的考查，因为这类题材不存在地域的差异，不同地域的同学都有话可说。本预测题即为校园生活类话题，与刚考完的四级作文话题类似，符合命题者出题思路，值得引起重视。

预测八

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on the topic

Advertisement. You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below in Chinese:

1. 广告的作用

2. 广告的形式多样

3. 广告的夸张性7a686964616fe59b9ee7ad94332

Advertisement

Advertisements are forcing their way into people’s lives. People refer to advertisements in their daily lives because they are consumers. The advertisers are usually manufacturers, retailers and salesmen. Their merchandise needs to be advertised to bring it to the attention to the customers. Thus nearly every product is advertised in some way. To a large extent, good advertising leads to success while bad advertising can mean failure.

There are many ways to advertise and ‘ads’ come in different forms. Newspapers carry advertisements. Some products are publicized on TV and radio which bring them into notice of a wide audience. Billboards also carry advertising. Advertising is a big industry now and many agencies have been set up to furnish a variety of forms..

However, advertising is not always truthful. A product is often misrepresented. The advertiser exaggerates the benefits of the merchandise he wants to sell. Thus, he misrepresents the truth. The consumer falls victim to such advertising. Millions of people have bought advertised products and have been dissatisfied with them。

点评：这是一篇说明文，用说明的表达方式来解说事物，阐明事理。写好说明文，不仅要抓住特征，注意条理，而且要巧妙运用说明方法，像下定义、举例子、作比较、分类别、列数字、打比方等
