1、六级作文Naming University Buildings with Commercial Brands 清华大学第四教学楼被命名为“真维斯楼”，针对类似的以商业品牌为大学中的设施冠名的现象谈谈你的看法。 1. 陈述现象 2. 明确表明个人看法 3. 有此看法的原因 Naming University Buildings with Commercial Brands Recently, a teaching building in Tsinghua University was named as “Jeanswest Building”, “Jeanswest” being the nam
2、e of a leading casual wear brand. In the wake of the event, a huge uproar was triggered nationwide. People in and outside Tsinghua University expressed their outrage, denouncing its authorities for allowing the university to be contaminated by commercialism. To a large extent, such indignation is ju
3、stified. Almost all Chinese universities are established and financially supported by the government. As public institutions, they are expected to concentrate solely on educating upright students and performing independent research. Commercialism has been carefully warded off so that neither univers
4、ities nor their students would become money-oriented. Therefore, many fear that, if commercial encroachment is allowed to happen to a top university like Tsinghua University, rampant commercialism would extend to all universities across China. However, no specific laws or regulations prohibit indivi
5、duals or corporate organizations from making donations and having their names inscribed on certain facilities. In fact, some universities have already done so. Investigations show that, in Tsinghua University itself, there have been three precedentsthree buildings in the School of Journalism, the Me
6、dical School and the School of Electronics have been respectively named after their donators. In the United States, this is a common practice and perhaps we have not yet grown accustomed to it. A key factor in this controversy involves the need to scrutinize the motivation behind each donation. On o
7、ne hand, we shouldnt dampen the enthusiasm of individuals and corporate organizations to perform their social responsibility by making generous donations. On the other hand, we shouldnt indiscriminately accept donations that carry explicit commercial intentions. Additionally, the management of the c
8、ollected funds should be transparent, ensuring that the funds are exclusively used for educational purposes. In this way, donations are bound to produce positive outcomes. 用商业品牌来命名大学的教学楼 近期，清华大学的一幢教学大楼被命名为“真维斯楼”，而“真维斯”则是某知名休闲服装品牌的名字。事发之后，全国范围内引发了一场轩然大波。无论是清华大学之内还是之外的人们，都表达了他们的愤慨，谴责校方致使学府为商业主义所玷污。 在很
9、大程度上，这种义愤有其合理之处。中国几乎所有的大学均为*所创办，受到*财政的支持。作为公立机构，人们寄希望于这些高等学府心无旁涉地专注于培养正直的学生，从事独立的科研。人们一直小心翼翼地将商业主义拒之校园之外，这样，无论是学校还是学生，都不会变成一切向钱看。因此，许多人担忧，一旦商业侵蚀被允许发生在像清华大学这样一座顶尖学府的身上，肆虐的商业主义将横扫全国各地所有的高等学府。 然而，中国又没有任何具体的法律或规定，禁止个人或企业进行捐款，将其名字铭刻在某些教学设施上。事实上，某些大学早就在这么做了。媒体的调查显示，即使在清华大学本身，此类的先例已发生过三次新闻学院、医学院和电子工程学院的三幢大
10、楼，已分别以其捐赠者的名字来命名。在美国，这一做法十分普遍;或许，我们现在还尚未习惯这一通行的做法。 在这场争论中，一个关键因素是，我们有必要对每一次捐赠背后的动机进行审查。一方面，我们不应对个人或企业通过慷慨捐赠来履行其社会责任的热情泼冷水。另一方面，对于那些带有公然商业企图的捐赠，我们不应该不分青红皂白地一概予以接受。此外，对于那些已经收到的资金，管理应透明，以便确保这些资金专门用于教学目的。这样，所有的捐赠必将产生正面的效果。 1. be named as命名为 2. a leading casual wear brand一个知名休闲服装品牌 3.

13、 to produce positive outcome捐赠必将产生正面的效果 On Fabricating Academic Credentials 1.现在学历造假现象非常猖獗 2.分析这一现象的原因 3.如何根除这一现象 On Fabricating Academic Credentials Etymologically, the word “credential” derives from “credit” and is related to the moral attribute of credibility. An academic credential reflects a st
14、udents academic knowledge and expertise, with which he becomes qualified for performing certain professional responsibilities at certain professional positions. Academic credentials shouldnt be falsified because false credentials are dangerous. For example, a medical graduate with false credentials
15、can kill his patients rather than rescuing them. Currently, fabricating academic credentials is particularly rampant in China, where all recruitments seem to involve credentials. In order to secure the job they want, some job seekers without the required credentials have no alternative but to have t
16、hem fabricated by professional forgers. While condemning users of fake credentials on both legal and moral grounds, we somehow tend to sympathize with them as they are victimized by a society addicted to the credential mania. A more despicable form of credential fabrication is perpetrated by those a
17、lready highly successful peoplebusinessmen, entrepreneurs, government officials, celebrities in the entertainment industry, etc. They use false credentials not so much to advance their careers as to project their personal image as an icon. This is a greater evil because those fabricators contrive, t
18、hrough fraudulence, to secure our admiration and respect on the spiritual level. A most notorious case is the scandal of TxxJxx, who pretends to be a role model for innocent Chinese youth, with false Ph.D. credential from a non-existent American university. To solve this problem, a combination of me
19、asures is necessary. We should evaluate a person by his true caliber, not solely by his credentials. Legally, we should crack down on both the seller and the buyer of false credentials. Finally, we should keep exposing and denouncing fabricators so they can no longer fool us. In this way, our societ
20、y will become purified and credibility will ultimately prevail. 学历造假 从词源学上讲，学历“credential”一词源于“credit”(信誉), 与诚信这一德行相关。一份学历所反映的，是一个学生的学识与专长;有了这二者，他就有资质去在特定的专业岗位上履行特定的专业职责。对于学历，不应弄虚作假，因为虚假的学历贻害无穷。举例来说，一个拥有虚假学历的医科毕业生，更有可能将其病人置于死地，而非挽救其生命。 目前，学历造假在我国尤为猖獗。在中国，所有的人才招聘似乎无不涉及到文凭。为了获得他们梦寐以求的工作，有些并不拥有必要学历的求职者
21、，只能转而求助于职业制假者，请他们伪造文凭。虽然我们会基于法律和道德的理由去谴责这些购买和使用假冒文凭的人，但我们仍然会对他们怀有某种恻隐之心，因为他们也是这个唯文凭是论的国度的牺牲品。 有一种更为卑鄙的文凭造假，造假者是那些早已功成名就的人士商人、企业家、*官员、娱乐界名人等等。他们不亦乐乎地进行学历造假，以其说是为了谋取职业发展，还不如说是为了构筑他们个人形象。供大众进行偶像崇拜。这是一种更为严重的恶行，因为这些造假者，通过欺世盗名的手段，处心积虑地要攫取我们精神层面上对他们的钦佩与尊敬。一个最臭名昭著的案例便是某个TJ君所爆出的丑闻，此君将自己伪装一个角色榜样，接受某些成胸无城府、涉世不
22、深的中国青年的膜拜，而手里握着的，则是某个子虚乌有的美国大学的所谓博士文凭! 要解决这个问题，关键是需要多管齐下。我们在衡量一个人时，应以其实际能力为标准，而非仅看他的文凭。在法律上，我们应该对假学历的制售者和购买者一并实施打击。我们应一如既往地揭露和谴责文凭造假者，让其不再能蒙骗我们。这样一来，我们的社会环境将得到净化，诚信终将占据上风。 1. fabricate制造，伪造 2. etymologically从词源学上讲 3. credential学历 4. credit信誉 5. with which he becomes qualified for performing certain

25、n sb.打击某人 17. credibility will ultimately prevail诚信终将占据上风 The Craze of Pursuing Graduate Studies The Craze of Pursuing Graduate Studies Each year, millions of Chinese college students sit for qualifying examinations for graduate studies, primarily in Masters programs. Students prepare for those exam
26、inations either through years of arduous self-education or by spending large sums of money attending local training schools. The publishing of examinations-related study materials and the training programs offered, both online and offline, have combined to form a sizable industry. An alarming fact a
27、bout this craze is that most students pursue graduate studies not out of their voluntary will. Faced with the harsh reality in the employment market, which is forever looking for graduates with higher degrees, many college graduates find going to graduate schools is a good way to avoid unemployment
28、and to enhance ones competitiveness in future job hunting. However, without that voluntary initiative, most students who do enter graduate schools are not motivated. For them, the only thing that ultimately counts is the degree or the diploma which they expect could give them an upper hand against o
29、ther job hunters. As to the actual substance of their graduate studies, its not a big deal for them, as long as it leads to that degree or diploma. It is really pathetic to see that students undertake graduate studies with an ulterior motivenot for the sake of loving what they study, but for the sak
30、e of merely landing a job, which in many cases might be unrelated to what they have studied. The chill truth is that students soon find their anticipations are a mere dream. As so many undergraduates proceed onto graduate studies, the employment situation remains as severe as ever. Instead of bringi
31、ng about apparent competitive edges, two or three years of additional academic training is simply a waste of time and energy. They need to reflect on this craze and would have been better off distinguishing themselves with outstanding knowledge and skills when they were undergraduates. 考 研 热 每年，数以百万
32、计的中国大学生参加研究生入学资格考试，主要是攻读硕士学位课程。学生们要么通过数年艰辛的自学，要么通过花上不菲的一笔钱参加当地培训学校的课程，来准备这些资格考试。与考试相关的学习材料的出版，以及网上和网下所提供的培训课程，一起构成了一个规模可观的产业。 关于这股热潮，一个触目惊心的事实是，大多数学生并不是出于他们自主的意愿而去追求研究生阶段的学习的。面对着就业市场上严峻的现实，看着雇主们永远将目光投向那些学历更高的毕业生，许多大学生发现，进入研究生院去攻读硕士学位不失为一个良策，一方面避免了失业，另一方面可以提升未来求职过程中的竞争力。 然则，没有了那份由衷而发的积极性，最终得以进入研究生院的学
33、生，其中大多数缺乏自我上进的动力。对于他们而言，最终而言，唯有其文凭或学位事关重大。他们希望，这个学位或文凭能提升其优势，战胜其他求职者。至于他们研究生课程实际学习什么内容，于他们而言并非关键所在，只要所学的东西能带来一纸学位或文凭即可。看着学生们并非怀着一种真实的意图去攻读研究生课程，实在令人感到悲哀：学生们并不真正热爱其所学的内容，而只是为了找到一份工作，并且这份工作在很多情形中可能与其所学专业毫不相关。 一个令人心寒的事实真相是，学生们很快就会发现，他们的期望纯粹是一种幻想。由于本科之后继续读研的学生如此之众，就业形势一如既往地严峻。二至三年额外的学术训练没能给学生带来显著的竞争优势，而
34、是令他们白白地浪费了时光与精力，大学生们有必要对此热潮展开反思。如果他们早在本科期间就以优异的学识与能力脱颖而出的话，他们的处境肯定会来的好得多。 1. to sit for examinations: 就相当于to take part in examinations 2. qualifying examination;资格考试;体育上的资格赛就叫 qualifying matches 3. graduate studies: “研究生学习”的美国说法; 英国的说法是postgraduate studies 4.

36、 schools: spend time or money (on) doing something; 另外，在large sums of money这个表达方式中，虽然money是不可数的，但作为量词的sum是可数的，要用复数，谓语动词也相应要用复数。类似的例子有amount, 如large amounts of energy, 其用法与large sums of money相同。 9. examinations-related study materials：与考试相关的学习材料 10. the training programs offered, both online and offl

40、omething; 18. to enhance ones competitiveness in future job hunting: 提升在未来求职过程中的竞争力;to enhance ones competitiveness是个不错的搭配;“竞争优势”叫competitive edge(s); future是形容词;job hunting是个固定搭配; 19. voluntary initiative：initiative 是积极性，主动性，进取心的意思;另外，“中东的和平倡议” 就叫the Middle East peace initiative; 20. most students
41、who do enter graduate schools are not self-motivated: “do enter”是动词的强调形式;not self-motivated： 缺乏自我动力; 21. the only thing that counts：就相当于 the only thing that matters; ultimately: 最终地 22. the degree or the diploma which they expect could give them an upper hand against other job seekers：那个他们希冀能够使他们相对于
42、其他求职者略胜一筹的学位或文凭;they expect是插入语，并非是定语从句中的主语与谓语;which才是定语从句中的主语，could give是定语从句中的谓语动词;类似的例子如：This is a book which I hope would be useful to you. could 采用的是虚拟语气，表示与实际并不相符;an upper hand: 优势，上风; job seekers：求职者，就相当于job hunters; 23. as to the actual substance of their graduate studies, its not a big deal

47、境地或状态”;as severe as ever：与以往一样的严峻;记住“as as ever”的用法。 33. Instead of bringing about apparent competitive edges, two or three years of additional academic training is simply a waste of time and energy. 二至三年额外的学术训练没能给学生带来显著的竞争优势，反而是白白地浪费了他们的时光与精力;现在分词短语bringing about apparent competitive edges这个动作，是主句的
48、主语two or three years of additional academic training所发出的。bringing about或bringing在此处都可以用，意思略微不同;bringing是“带来”，bringing about是“造成，导致，产生”， competitive edges: 上面已讲过，是“竞争优势”的意思;在“two or three years of additional academic training is simply a waste of time and energy” 这个句子中，有人会问，two or three years of additional academic training作为一个充当主语的名词短语，是以复数形式出现的，与“is a waste of time and energy”中单数的动词“is”是否一致。回答是，“是一致的”。 虽然“two or three years of additional academic training”形式上是复数，但是
