四级阅读
【解析】
今年四级考试在阅读这个版块里，总体难度仍然呈较为平稳的发展态势。无论是选词填空、长篇阅读还是仔细阅读，与我们之前在四级课堂上讲到的解题技巧都有很高的契合度。首先一起来谈谈选词填空这个题型。首先第一步分析选项词性。今年 名词考7个，动词考5个，形容词考2个，副词1个。如此一来，我们很快把15选1缩小到了最多是7选1，最少的情况是1选1。另外，请注意，名词通过单复数，动词通过时态和非谓语动词还可以进一步缩小范围。长篇阅读难度持平，用定位法则快速找定位即可。 再来谈谈仔细阅读部分。我们在课堂上跟大家反复强调过，四级仔细阅读的核心在于四个字“精准定位”，今年所涉及到的考点全部是我们之前课程中所涵盖到的。总而言之，只要大家在考试过程中熟练地运用了之前课堂上学到的解题方法，取得好成绩也是顺理成章的。

四级写作
【解析】
在经历了2013年四六级的大规模变革之后，作文单项又于2016年12月和2017年6月进行了小规模的创新。考察形式为“书信”与“告示”，考题内容是“感谢信”与“出售二手书籍、自行车、电脑”。不论考察形式还是考察内容，均与全国硕士研究生录取考试英语单项的小作文类似，难度系数的提高，考题形式的多变，都着实引起了部分考生的恐慌。
笔者曾在强化课堂中反复强调传统类考题的重要性，而 2017年12月的四级作文，开始返朴归真，重新回归对于传统考题类型的考察“医患关系”“两代关系”“师生关系”，故大胆在冲刺班预测，请各位考生务必继续关注与社会热点相关的传统题型，话题内容请关注和大学生学习工作生活和社会改革发展变化相关的话题。果不其然，正如今年卷一：the importance of writing and how to improve writing skills，考查形式属于“现象类”，考查内容属于“大学生学习工作生活”,考察形式和内容均类似于2010年6月四级考题“Due Attention Should Be Given to Spelling”，具体解析如下：
第一段受制于考查形式，可以简明扼要指出现存社会现象。第二段属于原因分析段，从微观和宏观不同维度论证这个社会现象的起因或者重要性。第三段属于评论措施段，继续回应前文分析角度，提出改进现状的措施,而针对此题，第三段应该为写作的重点段落。
借此机会，再次提醒各位童靴，尽管近几年大学英语四级考试作文单项考察形式变幻莫测，但是大家要学会透过现象看本质，找出个性中的共性，以不变应万变。
1.注意前期基本功的夯实，包括基础词汇和基础语法。深知词汇是英语学习的基础构成单位，词汇的记忆贵在坚持，贵在重复；而语法是对于逻辑思维的培养和考察，语法的掌握贵在学以致用，贵在举一反三。
2.注意后期单项技巧的掌握，包括写作，听力，阅读和翻译。并加强课后练习，不断巩固，强化概念。这些技巧能够帮助考生在第一时间迅速切中要害，如同打游戏开的外挂，但也应该懂得技巧属于锦上添花，而不是雪中送炭。

四级翻译
【综述】
本次四级翻译总体难度不大。
【选材】在文章选材方面围绕着与日常生活紧密相关的交通工具展开，话题为飞机和公交。
【句法】以简单句的考察为主，并不需要考生使用较为复杂的定语从句和状语从句，偶有出现一句话内多个动词的情况，用并列句和非谓语动词处理即可。例如，“车辆的设施不断更新，车速也有了显著提高。”“航空服务不断改进，而且经常会有特价机票。”
【词汇】词汇难度不大，均为日常使用的简单词汇。
【试题】
公交车曾是中国人出行的主要交通工具。近年来，由于私家车数量不断增多，城市的交通问题越来越严重。许多城市为了鼓励更多人乘公交车出行，一直在努力改善公交车的服务质量。车辆的设施不断更新，车速也有了显著提高。然而，公交车的票价却依然相当低廉。现在，在大多数城市，许多当地老年市民都可以免费乘坐公交车。
【译文】
Buses used to be themain means of transportation for Chinese people. In recent years, due to theincreasing number of private cars, traffic problems in cities have become increasinglysevere. In order to encourage more people to travel by bus, many cities havebeen trying to improve the quality of bus service. The facilities of buses areconstantly being updated, and the speed has also been increased significantly,while bus fares are still quite low. Nowadays, in most cities, many localelderly citizens can take buses for free.
【解析】
① 公交车曾是中国人出行的主要交通工具。
第一句句式为简单的主系表，“曾是”用used to be表示。词汇方面注意主语“公交车”为可数名词需要用复数形式buses，“交通工具”用vehicle/means of transportation/transportation tool均可。
Buses used to be the main means of transportation for Chinesepeople.
② 近年来，由于私家车数量不断增多，城市的交通问题越来越严重。
第二句句式也为主系表，使用“become”比be动词更能体现出变化。词汇方面“私家车”用private cars即可，“越来越”可用副词increasingly表示。
In recent years, due to the increasing number of privatecars, traffic problems in cities have become increasingly severe.
③ 许多城市为了鼓励更多人乘公交车出行，一直在努力改善公交车的服务质量。
第三句中两个动词，第一个动词前有“为了”自然使用动词不定式表示目的，可用短语“in order to”引导放在句首，第二个动词为主句谓语动词，主谓宾结构，注意“一直”需要翻译成现在完成进行时。
In order to encourage more people to travel by bus, manycities have been trying to improve the quality of bus service.
④ 车辆的设施不断更新，车速也有了显著提高。
⑤ 然而，公交车的票价却依然相当低廉。
第四句主语为“设施”，动词为“更新“，设施不能自己“更新”，所以需要使用被动句，后半个分句同理，做并列句处理即可，注意“不断”需要翻译成进行时，“有了”处理成现在完成时。词汇方面副词“显著”如果不会，译成“greatly”也无妨。第五句“然而”转折对比，可直接用连词while跟前句连接合成一句形成长句，票价“是”低廉的，用主系表结构表示。
The facilities of buses are constantly being updated, and thespeed has also been increased significantly, while bus fares are still quitelow.
⑥ 现在，在大多数城市，许多当地老年市民都可以免费乘坐公交车。
Nowadays, in most cities, many local elderly citizens cantake buses for free.
第六句为主谓宾结构，“老年市民”用senior citizens/elderly citizens均可，注意尽量不要使用oldpeople。
2018年6月六级答案解析
Writing
For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay on the importance of building trust between businesses and consumers/teachers and students/employers and employees. You can cite examples to illustrate your views. 150-200 words.
传统！无惊喜！很简单的引入+原因+例子的写法~ 上课各种讲啊！
Model
It is a truth universally acknowledged that the trust between businesses and consumers plays a key role in boosting the prosperity of our commercialized society. When the trust is built, it gives tremendous freedom to the consumers and the companies they choose; but when the trust is lost, it can cost a company’s life and is impossible to recover.
For instance, Sanlu Milk Powder company used to be one of biggest dairy companies in China, and a huge number of Chinese citizens drank it everyday, hoping to make their bodies stronger and healthier. However, ten years ago, the news that there was poisonous ingredient in it and some infants were fatally sick because they drank it was exposed to the public. This scandal went viral and devastated the image of Sanlu in a few months. Another case is Xiaomi, which used to sell cheap digital products. A lot of people did not trust it because the price was very low. However, its dedication to producing cheap products with high quality has gradually built trust between consumers and this brand, and, not long ago, its goodwill and reputation helped it go public and earn a huge amount of money.
In order to earn the trust of consumers, businesses should always keep their promises to them. Meanwhile, it is about time that some consumers who like taking advantages of businesses changed this habit and helped to protect the benefit of these companies.
翻译：翻译两个题目和中午三小只直播时智鸣哥说的一模一样啊！！不管是高铁还是共享单车，还是时态、主谓一致等知识点都是一模一样！！当然，我们不以押题为骄傲，我们更要传递的是只是！！要注意的是，此次六级出题者很懒，翻译和阅读都各只有两套卷子。
共享单车：Bikes once were the most important means of transportation in the cities and villages in China which used to be called the Kingdom of Bikes. At present, with traffic congestion and air pollution becoming increasingly severe, riding bikes are popular again. In the past several years, Chinese entrepreneurs have combined the mobile Internet technology with traditional bikes, inventing a brand new commercial mode called shared bikes. The advent of shared bikes makes riding more convenient. People can ride shared bikes anytime as they wish only when equipped with a smart phone. To encourage people to ride bikes when they go out, cycle tracks have been built in many cities. Now, Chinese people in increasing numbers like building their bodies through riding bikes as well.
高铁：At present, China has the largest and fastest high-speed railway network in the world. The running velocity of high-speed rail will keep climbing and more cities will built their own high-speed rail stations. The high-speed rail greatly shortens people’s travel time. Compared with airplanes, high-speed trains have an outstanding merit which is punctuality because the operation of high-speed rail is basically not influenced by not only weather conditions but also traffic control. The high-speed rail has tremendously changed Chinese people’s life styles. At present, it has been the most preferred transportation for many people when they are on business trips. People in increasing amount also go traveling by high-speed rail on holidays. There are also many young people, who choose to work in one city and live in a nearby city, commuting between two different cities by high-speed rail everyday.

文章来源：《Domestic robots are a not too distant reality》
网址：https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/editorials/domestic-robots-are-a-not-too-distant-reality-a7093861.html
文章概要：文章简单介绍了科技大咖--Elon Musk为人类所作出的贡献，其中之一便是机器人在生活中的使用。有些人可能会害怕机器人太过于聪明，给人类造成威胁，但是最终其实人类完全有能力处理这些问题，且人类可以放心享受机器人带来的好处。
26. D) enabling
解析：由于该空之后是名词human，可能会被误认为需要填形容词，但是之前的and提醒我们要注意整个并列结构。根据之前的is bringing，可以推出该空需要填动词，再加上之后的to live on 以及文意，可以推出应该使用enabling。
27. H) generously
解析：该空之前和之后都是动词，所以只有可能填副词，又因为之前的句子中有一个this entrepreneur has做定语从句在修饰fortune, 基本可以确定副词在修饰comes而不是has，再根据文意，该公司的财富大部分来自的是实际的成就，故选择generously。
28. N) terrified
解析：该空之前是are，之后是一个介词about，可以推出该空需要填形容词，再看到后半句的fear，可以推出整句话都是负面的感情，故选择terrified。
L) smart
解析：该空处于一个搭配so+adj. 或adv.+that (如此...以至于）之中，可以推出需要填的是形容词或者副词，再加上文意推出，人类害怕机器人太聪明而谋杀人类，选择smart。
I) misleading
解析：该空之前出现一个副词，且之前还有动词are，可以推理出来应该填入形容词。而之后说人类有能力去处理机器人的问题，说明之前的担心是错误的，故选用misleading。
31. E) eventually
解析: 该空处于两个动词之间，且有双逗号隔开，可以推出使用副词。而整个答案之中只有两个副词，eventually和generously（之前已选），故选择eventually。而从文意中也可以理解：最终，拥有机器人就像是拥有一个兼具保姆和护士功能的机器。
A）amassed
解析：该空处于名词之前，可以推出使用形容词。根据文意，机器人有护士和保姆的功能所需要的智能可能会超过Musk设想的机器，故选择amassed（慢慢聚集的）。
33. J）Precious
解析：该空处于the和名词之间，可以推出使用形容词。根据文意：顾客买了机器人之后，就能够帮助顾客做一系列的事情。而对于公司而言，顾客应该是precious、（珍贵的）。
C）emotional
解析：该空处于space之前，可以推出使用形容词。根据文意，机器人可以让顾客节省金钱和时间，并且还能解放顾客在忙碌生活中的情感空间来阅读。故选择emotional。
35. K) reward
解析：该空处于latest之后，故应该填入形容词。且最后一段中，对于Musk的倾向都是偏正面的，因此选择reward（奖励）。
