以下是2024年6月大学英语四级真题及答案 (卷一),供同学们参考:

Part I                       Writing                      (25 minutes)

(请于正式开考后半小时内完成该部分,之后将进行听力考试)

Directions: Suppose your university is soliciting opinions from students on whether the university library should be open to the public.You will have 30 minutes for the task. You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.   

In the modern era, there is a heated debate regarding whether the university's library should be open to the public. Some believe that it will do us more good than harm, while others argue that it will pose a threat to the order and operation of the university.In my view, the university authorities should be cautious about offering the outsiders an access to such an important venue.

Above all, the library, serving as a critical academic facility as well as an indispensable research site for both students and teachers, is supposed to keep those limited valuable resources to its authorized users. lf the university chooses to open the library to the public, it is highly possible that a mass of people will rush into this place, leaving many college students and teachers unable to complete their academic work. Furthermore, when too many citizens crowd into the library, there will be unnecessary talking, laughing, quarreling or even chasing, incurring disorder of one kind or another.

In conclusion, the merits of such a practice outweigh the demerits.Therefore, opening the university's library to the public must never be put on the university's agenda.

在现代,关于大学图书馆是否应该向公众开放存在着激烈的争论。一些人认为这对我们利大于弊,而另一些人则认为这将对大学的秩序和运作构成威胁。在我看来,大学当局应该谨慎地向外人提供这样一个重要的机会聚会地点。

最重要的是,图书馆作为重要的学术设施以及学生和教师不可缺少的研究场所,应该将这些有限的宝贵资源保留给其授权的我们。如果大学选择向公众开放图书馆,很可能会有大量的人涌入这个地方,使许多大学生和教师无法完成他们的学术工作。此外,当太多的市民挤进图书馆,会有不必要的谈话,笑,争吵,甚至追逐,造成这样或那样的混乱。

 总之,这种做法的优点大于缺点。因此,向公众开放大学图书馆绝不能提上大学的议程。
