對(duì)于英語(yǔ)四六級(jí)肯定不陌生吧，有的同學(xué)高考英語(yǔ)分?jǐn)?shù)很高，可是到了大學(xué)，就是考了幾次四六級(jí)考試都遲遲沒(méi)過(guò)。心里沮喪了?別著急，還是要反思自己的學(xué)習(xí)過(guò)程中是不是出現(xiàn)了問(wèn)題。今天和大家分享一些熱門(mén)話題，大家可能在考試中會(huì)用到。

1、“祝融”號(hào)

中國(guó)第一輛火星探測(cè)車被命名為“祝融"。

4月24日,在中國(guó)東部江蘇省省會(huì)南京舉行的中國(guó)航天日開(kāi)幕式上， "祝融"這個(gè)名字被披露，"祝融"在中國(guó)神話中的意思是火神。

這個(gè)名字代表了中國(guó)人民對(duì)火星車點(diǎn)燃中國(guó)探索火星的祝福。

這輛火星車高1.85米,重約240公斤,設(shè)計(jì)壽命為3個(gè)月,相當(dāng)于92天的地球日。

它將探測(cè)火星表面的成分、物質(zhì)分布、地質(zhì)結(jié)構(gòu)和氣象環(huán)境。

參考譯文：

China's first Mars rover has been named "Zhurong." The name "Zhurong," which means the god of fire in Chinese mythology, was revealed on April 24th at the opening ceremony of the Space Day of China held in Nanjing, the capital city of east China's Jiangsu Province.

The name indicates Chinese people's blessing for the rover to ignite the flame of China's planetary exploration. The rover is 1.85 meters high and weighs about 240 kilograms, with a designed life span of three Martian months - equivalent to about 92 Earth days.

It will probe the composition of the Martian surface, the distribution of materials, the geological structure and the meteorological environment.

2、找工作

如今，越來(lái)越多的大學(xué)生抱怨很難找到好工作 。造成這—現(xiàn)象的主要原因如下：首先，許多大學(xué)生把在校的大多數(shù)時(shí)間都用在了專業(yè)學(xué)科學(xué)習(xí)上，當(dāng)他們開(kāi)始找工作的時(shí)候，才意識(shí)到自己缺乏必要的職業(yè)培訓(xùn)。

其次，大學(xué)生之間的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)越來(lái)越激烈，這導(dǎo)致任何—名大學(xué)生找到工作的機(jī)會(huì)都變少了。因此，強(qiáng)烈建議大學(xué)生在課余時(shí)間做一些兼職工作，以積累(accumulate)相關(guān)的工作經(jīng)驗(yàn)。

參考譯文：

Nowadays, more and more university students complain about having great difficulty in finding a good job.

The main reasons for this phenomenon are as follows: first, many university students spend most of their time at school studying academic subjects and it is only when they start looking for a job that they realize they lack necessary job training;

second, competition among graduates has become fiercer, and this results in a decreasing chance for any individual graduate to find a job. Therefore, it is highly suggested that college students should do some part-time jobs in their spare time to accumulate relevant working experience.

3、老齡化

老齡化對(duì)國(guó)家財(cái)政的影響眾所周知，急劇上漲的醫(yī)療和養(yǎng)老金(pension)支出。

然而，老齡化的影響遠(yuǎn)不止于此。在老齡化社會(huì)里，勞動(dòng)力市場(chǎng)、儲(chǔ)蓄方式以及人口流動(dòng)都會(huì)發(fā)生變化。

最令人擔(dān)憂的是，勞動(dòng)力短缺、勞動(dòng)力市場(chǎng)不穩(wěn)定和生產(chǎn)力下降等問(wèn)題都會(huì)對(duì)發(fā)展造成嚴(yán)重威脅。

中國(guó)的平均收入水平仍然停留在低收入階段，這使得中國(guó)人口老齡化問(wèn)題尤其復(fù)雜。

參考譯文：

The impact of aging on national finances is well known, namely soaring healthcare and pension costs. However, the influences of aging are much more than this.

In an aging society, labor markets, saving patterns and migration flows will change. Most worryingly, labor shortage, unstable labor market and declining productivity pose serious threats to the development.

Aging of population in China is particularly complex because the average income of Chinese still stays at a low level.

4、“光盤(pán)”行動(dòng)

據(jù)可靠數(shù)據(jù)，中國(guó)餐飲業(yè)—年浪費(fèi)的食物相當(dāng)于兩億多人—年的口糧。

面對(duì)嚴(yán)重的食物浪費(fèi)，北京一家民間公益組織利用微博發(fā)起了一項(xiàng)反對(duì)浪費(fèi)的行動(dòng)一“光盤(pán) “ 行動(dòng)("clean your plate" campaign)。

“光盤(pán) “ 行動(dòng)提倡節(jié)約，反對(duì)浪費(fèi)，呼吁人們把宴會(huì)后沒(méi)吃完的剩菜帶回家，在社會(huì)上得到了廣泛響應(yīng)。

人們紛紛行動(dòng)起來(lái)，就連餐館也推出了小份菜(smaller dish)、半份菜(half-portioned dish)和拼盤(pán)菜(assorted dish)來(lái)反對(duì)食物浪費(fèi)。

參考譯文：

Reliable data indicates that food wasted in catering business of China is equivalent to the amount consumed by more than 200 million people during one year.

Faced with the serious problem of food waste, a non-profit folk organization in Beijing launched an anti-waste activity dubbed "clean your plate" campaign through microblog.

This campaign calls for people to take leftovers home after a banquet so as to advocate thrift and fight against waste, and has received an extensive response from the public.

Many people take actions immediately. Even restaurants have begun to fight against wasting food by offering smaller dishes, half-portioned dishes and assorted dishes.

除此之外，還有一些常見(jiàn)的話題，都會(huì)出現(xiàn)在英語(yǔ)考試中，部分句子是可以直接套用的。

(nice)

偶像崇拜：idol worship

Many young people have their favorite stars. They love and imitate everything about their idols. And, they don't allow other people to say anything bad about their idols.

Teenagers firmly believe that their idols’ choices are the best. As a result, they follow these stars' clothes, hairstyles, and hobbies, as well as their behaviors in public.

It's a little bit of blind. Idols are normal people too. These youngsters didn't see their idols in real life. Idols on the stage are over beautification.

In fact， they are not perfect. Sometimes they make mistakes, too.

We should learn from our idols—— such as hard work, persistence, and dedication.All achievements of stars come from their efforts and sweat instead of their luckiness or their background.

As far as I am concerned, worshiping a star is not a bad thing. However, we should be rational.In our society, policemen, teachers, and doctors are the real idols we should learn from. Don't forget to show your respect for them.

電子閱讀：read with digital devices

People nowadays start reading through phones, iPads, and other digital devices.Newspapers and books are disappearing or shifting to the digital edition.

With the development of technology, news reach us in various forms, for instance, words, pictures, short videos and so on.

Foreign news can be translated into our native language easily. In a word, we can read all this news easily. these devices can help us easily keep track of what is happening around the world.

We are spending less time communicating with the people around us.

We are overloaded by information on phones or pads, we are getting used to reading short and shallow news，while ignoring serious news.

We can't concentrate or focus for a long time. We are losing the deep-think ability.

overuse of smartphones 手機(jī)的過(guò)度使用、低頭族，都可以套用此模板。

disadvantages(弊端)：

More and more people indulge themselves in their mobile phones, for example, they are chatting with Wechat, reading e-books, surfing on the web, playing games, and online shopping.At last, excessive money is spent on mobile phones and online games.

You can see mobile phones are used in many inappropriate situations. People even watch cell phones when they are walking. It can lead people or others into danger!

Besides, after the overuse of cellphones, people find that their eyes, necks, and hands are hurt very much. Some people even have to go to the hospital.

At last, overuse of cellphones deprives our time and communication with our family. On festivals, while the parents are busy preparing dinners for their children, children are busy watching cellphones.Some people cannot live without a cellphone. They feel nervous and don't know what to do.

外賣 ordering food online

The food we order on the Internet is probably cooked in some unlicensed restaurants with poor sanitary conditions.Once I ordered online, the food seemed clean and delicious, but after lunch, my stomach hurt. From then on, I never ordered online.

It is known that some food-ordering platforms have posted false pictures to mislead customers.What's important, disposable dishware may be harmful and unsafe. Which may cause many diseases we can't predict.

Ordering food online not only saves our time but also provides us many choices.

We can't deny that the food of some big restaurants and chain restaurants are guaranteed and nice.

If we choose reliable sellers, we can enjoy the convenience brought by modern technology.

這些內(nèi)容大家好好看看，說(shuō)不定考試的時(shí)候就出現(xiàn)了呢。當(dāng)然想要順利通過(guò)考試或者說(shuō)高分通過(guò)考試，我們還需要準(zhǔn)備很多東西。不僅僅是預(yù)測(cè)的話題，平時(shí)的基礎(chǔ)也要打好，考前真題也要刷到位。大家要明確自己的目標(biāo)，為了這個(gè)目標(biāo)奮斗吧!
