1、新东方全国大学英语四、六级考试研究委员会 1 答 案 部 分 Part I Writing (写作参考范文) Living in College Dormitories Many students are obliged to share accommodation with others in college. Living in dormitories may seem awkward at first, but it may prove to be a very rewarding experience. In this essay, both benefits and
2、 disadvantages will be discussed. If you have never shared with someone, you may have some difficulties adjusting. You may find others very different in character and habits and not suit you as companions. For some people, the lack of privacy is the biggest challenge, while others may find thei
3、r roommates over-sensitive or distant. Despite the problems, there are many positive aspects to sharing. Since new students are often far away from their families and friends, they may experience loneliness and homesickness, and face new challenges in their studies. Sharing offers companionshi

5、erests and explore new activities. In conclusion, I think that there are more benefits than disadvantages in living in college dormi- tories, but it depends on dealing with concerns honestly and sensitively in order to make student life as happy as possible. Part II Reading Comprehension (Skim

41、s. So they are working hard to meet this standard. So far the electric car seems to be the best alternative. So the biggest advantage of electric cars is that they don’t pollute. However they will be in competition with gas-powered cars. And that’s where the weaknesses come out. The big problem
42、 is that the batteries in electric cars weigh a lot relative to the amount of power they deliver. For in- stance in one electric car the batteries weigh four hundred kilograms and they provide enough energy to go 250 km before recharging, which takes 8 hours. Compare that to a moderately fuel ef
