考试采取“多题多卷”模式，试题顺序不统一，请依据试题进行核对。

Part I  Writing

　　给你一个图表，通过分析图表，以及图表承载信息给出个人评论，今年四级这样考，是破天荒第一次，真题题源来自美国官网的首页，公布了一个失业率影响，博士失业率最高，硕士其次，为什么两套题，一部分同学考的是学历越高收入越高，另外还有一部分同学考的学历越高失业率越低。写的时候也不难，把第一段图表描述出来，比如说受过博士教育的人，他们的周薪是多少，其它学历的人周薪是多少。另外一部分人写一下不同学历的人，他们失业率的状况，第一段把图表作文的数据写出来，其次第二段解释一下这种现象背后的根源是什么，为什么受教育的人程度越高，收入越高，也可以说根据行业变化导致需求很多高科技的人才，或者高教育背景的人才，也可以说因为这些人在学习上面投入的很多，像博士花很多时间，金钱在教育上面，那么这部分人是应得较高的收入，我们从这两个角度，第二段进行评论一下。第三段无非给一些措施，可以增加教育公平性，使得更多人享有高薪的可能，以及更少的失业率。四级题型无非就是图表作文，来自官网一个图表是两个部分，受教育程度在中间，右边是收入状况，左边是失业率状况，而考试的时候分成两半，各考一半。标准版：

The above bar chart clearly shows us education pays in 2010. We see that one with higher education background earns more money weekly than those with lower ones. For instance, the college students with no degree get paid$712 per week whereas those with a Bachelor’s degree can earn $1038.

Several reasons, in my opinion, can be identified to account for this phenomenon. To begin with, compared with those with comparatively lower education degree, people who have received higher education possess considerably wider knowledge, more remarkable learning and research ability, greater innovation and most of all, resourceful social network, all of which are essential to a high-income work. Also, the higher one’s education degree is, the bigger platform he will have to show his ability. For example, his college, university, or research institute will organize various job fairs for them to communicate face to face with employers.

This phenomenon tells us that education is a worthy investment. Therefore, substantial education investment should be strengthened while we, as college students, should study harder to build our country and strive for a better life for ourselves.

Education Pays

Judging from the table, we can see that people’s income increases along with their education levels. Above all，the average college graduates earn much more than the typical high-school graduates.

The fact revealed by these data is obvious: a degree does bring distinctive financial benefits to its holders. But is it true that a degree alone can ensure a bright future? I don’t think so because, on the one hand, the financial value of high education depends heavily on what skills graduates can gain from it instead of the degree itself. After all, an employer only pays for your ability and performance, not for your certificate. On the other hand, the most valuable bless high education brings to graduates is the ability to learn quickly and efficiently. People received more education tend to keep lifelong learning habits after their graduation, which would help them gain more opportunities in their career path.

In conclusion, what accounts for education pays is not the degree alone, but the graduate’s ability and leaning habit.
