counter-measures
(7)Write an essay of 160-200 words based on the following drawing. In your essay, you should:
1) describe the drawing briefly,
2) explain its intended meaning, and then
3) Suggest counter-measures.
范文:
People have the illusion that they can do anything with money. Just as what is shown in the picture, by paying a penalty, people can give birth to more children, factories can let out the polluted air directly without any treatment, and trees can be felled at will.
This is a very serious social problem. Compared with other countries, China has a larger population but more limited resources. If everybody behaves in the similar way, it would be far beyond the country's capacity to guarantee everyone a well-off life. Moreover, it was reported that to bring up one child costs 350,000 yuan, which means that a family with several children bears a heavy burden. Meanwhile, if factories do not take any measure to treat the polluted air, the atmosphere will be further contaminated. Also, the felling of trees will surely lead to soil erosion, while frequently occurring sand storms are humans' deserved punishment for deforestation.
Though taxtation is one of the methods to punish this sort of behavior, it is never the only way. Solving these problems reflected in the picture depends largely on our responsibility to society and environment. If the sense of responsibility is greatly aroused, harmony between man and the environment will not be far away.
译文:
现今很多人认为用钱就可以做所有的事情.正如图中所示的那样,通过付罚款,人们可以超生,工厂可以不经过处理就排放废气,树木也可以被随意地砍伐.
这是一个非常严重的社会问题.相比其他国家,中国有更多的人口而资源却非常有限.如果每个人都用这种方式行事的话,那么这个国家远远没有能力让每个人都过上富裕的生活.此外,有报道称要培养一个孩子需要花费3万5千元,这意味着一个有许多孩子的家庭将承受很沉重的负担.同时,如果工厂不采取措施处理废气的话,大气层会被进一步污染.另外,树木砍伐会导致土地的腐蚀和水土流失,频繁发生的沙尘暴就是人类过度砍伐森林应得的惩罚.
尽管罚款是惩罚这些行为的一种方法,但绝不是唯一的方法.解决这个问题更重要的一点在很大程度上取决于我们对于社会和环境的责任.如果能够唤起广泛的责任感,那么我们离达到人与自然之间的和谐就不远了.

范文:
From the picture, we can see clearly that our Earth is suffering from "lung cancer" caused by environmental pollution. Its deteriorating condition is threatening all forms of life, pushing them to the edge of extinction. Just as is vividly depicted, continents that used to be covered by green life now turn deadly black.
The damage to the natural environment began as early as the arrival of industrilization. While abundant products are offered to the society, industrialization also brings the side effect of all forms of pollution. Moreover, human exploitation of natural resources has caused destruction that is far beyond our imagination.Currently the ecosystem is on the verge of collapse, while the population of mankind is still increasing steadily and uncontrollably. More unfortunately, human beings seem addicted to industrial production and material wealth but are hardly aware of the potential dangers.
We must realize that we are neither the master of the Earth, nor should we become the slaves of the advanced technology. Man and nature are supposed to coexist in great harmony. Without changing our negative attitude towards nature, humans will face a fatal destiny. To briefly conclude, economic development should not be achieved at the cost of our Earth's "health".
译文:
从这幅图中,我们可以清楚地看到地球正在遭受由于环境污染导致的"肺癌"的折磨.正在恶化的状况威胁到了所有的生命,将生物推到了灭绝的边缘.该图生动地描绘了那些原先覆盖着绿色植被的大陆现在都变成了死寂的黑色.
人类对于环境的破坏始于工业革命时代的到来.工业化给社会带来了丰富的产品,也带来了一些副作用,包括所有形式的污染.此外,人类对于自然资源的过度开发已经带来了超乎我们想象的破坏.坦率地说,现在生态系统已经到了崩溃的边缘,而人类的污染却仍然在持续并失控地增长.更不幸的是,人类似乎已经对于工业生产和物质财富上瘾了,他们很难意识到潜在的威胁.
但是,我们必须意识到我们并不是地球的主宰,更不该成为先进技术的奴隶.人类和自然应该和谐共存.如果人类不改变对待自然的态度,就会面临不幸的命运.总结来说,经济发展不应该以牺牲地球的"健康"为代价.

5,情感类
(1)2001年真题.Directions:
Among all the worthy feelings of mankind, love is probably the noblest, but everyone has his/her own understanding of it.
There has been a discussion recently on the issue in a newspaper. Write an essay to the newspaper to:
1) show your understanding of the symbolic meaning of the picture below,
2) give a specific example, and
3) give your suggestion as to the best way to show love.
You should write about 200 words on ANSWER SHEET 2.
真题分析:
本题的出题者预设了一个情景,即最近报纸上正在进行关于"爱"的大讨论,要求考生根据给出的图为报社写一篇相关的文章.其实无论题目中是否给出了一个具体的情景,对于考生的写作基本上没有什么大的影响.考生可以简单考虑或者忽略给定情景,而专注于对图画的分析和解读.
这幅图内容非常简单,一盏画着笑脸火焰的油灯,以及上面的一行字"爱心是一盏灯,在越黑暗的地方越明亮",相当于中国古语中"雪中送炭"的效果.该图的寓意非常深刻,说明人们在困境中得到的帮助是非常珍贵的,从而鼓励人人在他人困难的时候献出爱心,互相帮助.
思路拓展:
情感类的题目也可以联系到人际关系,社会道德和风气,情商教育等相关领域.这与中国现在正在建设的社会主义精神文明和社会主义和谐社会的努力是一致的,因此我们可以找到很多相关的素材,包括好人好事,典型事迹等,都可以为考生在作文中所用.
范文:
The light of an oil lamp is approximately insignificant in the daytime; however, the darker the environment is, the more brilliant it seems, just as is depicted in the picture. The importance of love, to some extent, can be interpreted according to a similar logic-love is more precious when it is given to those who are in difficulties and adversities.
To specify this statement, I would like to take Kong Fansen as an example. Kong, instead of settling for his comfortable official position in the rich and well-off Province of Shandong, volunteered to serve in a most backward area in Tibet where the weather is notoriously abominable. Kong was consistently dedicated to the fulfillment of the principle of "serving the people", and he always appeared at the most critical moments of local residents' hardship and impediment. Freezing as it was in Tibet, Kong's love and care largely warmed people's hearts.
Kong's story, suggest that the best practice to show love is to help those who are in need. We should always be ready to provide assistance to others, even if it is merely minor things like listening to others' troubles. A little of our generosity might brighten the whole world of the unfortunate.
译文:
一盏灯的灯光在白天的时候是无关紧要的;但是,当周围环境越黑的时候,灯光就显得越明亮,就像图中所示的那样.在某种程度上,爱的重要性可以用相同的逻辑来进行解释――当人们处于困难或者逆境中的时候,他们得到的爱就越珍贵.
为了具体说明这个问题,我将以孔繁森作为一个例子.孔繁森没有在富裕和小康的山东省满足于其领导岗位,而是主动要求去西藏一个气候恶劣的落后地区服务.他坚持致力于实现"为人民服务"的原则,总是在当地群众遇到困难的关键时刻出现.虽然西藏严寒无比,但孔繁森的关爱却温暖了人们的心.
孔繁森的故事告诉了我们,给予爱的最好方式就是帮助那些需要帮助的人.我们应该随时给予别人帮助,即使只是做一些小事情,诸如倾听别人述说烦恼.我们的一份慷慨也许会点亮不幸的人们那灰暗的世界.

(2)Write an essay of 160-200 words based on the following drawing. In your essay, you should:
1) describe the drawing briefly,
2) explain its intended meaning, and then
3) state your point of view.
范文:
As is shown in the picture, many people, despite their age, gender or career, are eager to donate money to charity. It is not difficult to find that in today's society, more and more people participate in donation activities. It is rather good news to the poor, the disabled and those from the disaster-struck areas.
The picture reminds us that in China, due to the unbalanced distribution of natural resources, a large portion of people are still leading a miserable life. Poor children become dropouts dropouts simply because they cannot afford tuition. Moreover, there are areas which are occasionally attacked by natural disasters, and thus local people often relapse into terrible predicaments. In addition, we should not forget the many disabled people who are in great need of help from society.
Contributing money and other necessities to people who are in great need is a good way to express human love. To some extent, it reflects individual's sense of social responsibility. It also generate a feeling from deep with one's heart that is beyond words and is difficult to obtain no matter how rich one is. Therefore, I strongly advocate that everybody offer a hand to others. I am sure our society would be more beautiful with our love and contribution.
译文:
正如图中所示,人们不分年龄,性别,职业,都纷纷解囊为慈善事业捐款.不难发现在现今的社会,越来越多的人们加入了各种捐款活动.这对于穷人,残疾人和受灾地区的人们来说是一个非常好的消息.
这幅图使我们想到,在中国,由于自然资源的分布不均,导致了很多人都生活在非常悲惨的境况中.许多孩子因为无法支付学费成为了或者即将成为失学儿童.此外,还有许多地区经常遭受灾害的袭击,使人们陷入困境.我们也不应该忘记那些需要社会帮助的残疾人.
向那些需要帮助的人捐献钱财和其他生活必需品是表达人类之爱的一种很好的方式.在某种程度上,这也反映了个人的社会责任感.这是一种来自内心深处,超越了语言描述的情感,仅仅通过财富是买不到的.因此,我呼吁大家都对那些需要帮助的人伸出援助之手.我相信,因为我们的爱和贡献,社会将变得更加美丽.

(3)Write an essay of 160-200 words based on the following drawing. In your essay, you should:
1) describe the drawing briefly,
2) explain its intended meaning, and then
3) state your point of view.
范文:
The drawing depicts a boy who just finishes doing the housework that is supposed to be the daily task of his mother. Sweating and tired, the boy cannot help exclaiming that is it really not easy to be a mother. Meanwhile, his parents are observing him secretly from behind the door, their emails revealing content.
Such a scenario is particularly worth praising against the social background of a generation that is greatly spoiled. Other than the boy in this picture, many children do not know how to wash clothes, clean rooms and manage personal affairs, because they are deprived of the chances of labor whenever at home. Nevertheless, I do not think that housework is a waste of time or with negative influence on children. On the contrary, it helps enhance their understanding of how hard their parents are striving to provide them with a good life. As a result, it will surely lead to a closer psychological bond between parents and children.
We may safely arrive at the conclusion that role exchange among family members is influential in supplying children a well-rounded cultivation. Moreover, I strongly recommend that parents allow their children e a proportional responsibility of housework and family decisions, and better preparing children for a brighter future.
译文:
这幅图描绘了一个男孩刚刚做完了家务活,而这些活本来都应该是他母亲做的.男孩满身是汗,看上去很累,他不由地感叹道原来当妈妈如此不容易.与此同时,他的父母正悄悄躲在门后面观察着他,他们露出了满意的笑容.
现在的一代孩子们大多都受到溺爱,因此图中的场景更是值得特别的称赞.但大部分孩子都不像图中的那个男孩那样,他们不会洗衣服,收拾房间,也不会处理个人事务,因为他们在家的时候根本没有机会劳动.但是,我不认为做家务是浪费孩子们的时间,或是对他们有什么负面的影响.相反,做家务能够帮助孩子们更深入地理解父母如何辛勤工作来给与他们幸福生活.因此,这种做法一定能够在父母和孩子们之间建立一种更亲密的感情.
所以我们可以得出以下结论,即家庭成员之间的角色转换对于全面地培养和教育孩子有着非常大的影响.此外,我强烈建议父母们应该允许孩子们分担一部分的家务活以及家庭决策.这样才能帮助孩子们拥有一个更加美好的前景.

(4)Write an essay of 160-200 words based on the following drawing. In your essay, you should:
1) describe the drawing briefly,
2) explain its intended meaning, and then
3) give your comments.
范文:
This cartoon displays a scenario that might arouse the memory of our childhood times. A group of children is watching TV news about the successful launch of the Shenzhou-6 spaceship, which is a great symbol of our national strength and scientific competency. The children are so encouraged by this big event that they are determined to dedicate themselves to science after growing up.
As is conveyed by the picture, it is of great significance to implant in the minds of future generations positive ideals and pursuits. However, it is not difficult for us to perceive that in today's society, a considerable number of children are greatly affected by negative influences especially from the entertainment field. Hence, they regard superficial fame and dazzling appearance as the signs of success instead of unknowndiligence. It goes without saying that such a trend might undermine children's future careera and development.
Consequently, the whole society should bear the accountability to help the next generation shape a wholesome outlook of life and great dreams. It is of benefit for children themselves to work hard to fulfill their dreams, and contributes to our country in general by yielding more talents devoted to science and technology.
译文:
这幅漫画展现的场景可能会唤起我们对于童年时代的记忆.一些孩子正在观看电视上播出的神州六号上天这则新闻,这一事件是我国强大的国力和科学实力的一大证明.孩子们都受到了这一事件的极大鼓励,立志要在长大以后献身科学事业.
正如图中所示,在下一代人的心中植下正面的理想和追求是十分重要的.但是,我们不难发现在当今社会,许多孩子都受到了特别是来自娱乐圈的负面影响.因此他们认为表面的名声和耀眼的外表才是成功的标志,而不是不为人知的勤奋和努力.毫无疑问,这种趋势有可能不利于孩子们将来的职业发展.
因此,全社会都应该承担起帮助下一代树立健康生活观和理想的责任.一方面,这有利于孩子们的自身发展,使他们努力地去实现梦想.另一方面,从整体上来说我们将会培养出更多献身科技的人才,这也是对我们国家的一大贡献.

团结
范文:
The scene in this picture is very inspiring. Members of a football team stand shoulder to shoulder ahead of an upcoming game. They place their arms around each other, a display of mutual support. Though not seeing their faces, we can feel their strong sense of solidarity.
As an activity that requires teamwork and cooperation, football places the spirit of solidarity in the highest position. Admittedly, a couple of talented and skilled players can contribute vastly to a football team's victory. However, a continuously satisfactory performance relies not on individual excellence, but on how each member regards himself as part of a whole union, and how well they collaborate. Exactly speaking, it is this spirit that makes football one of the most popular sports around the world. It composes the game's essence, endowing it with elements that allow it to attract heated enthusiasm and devotion.
Football also inspires people to apply the spirit of solidarity in daily life and work. This spirit can be extened to the hisorical truth that the rise and fall of a nation depends on how citizens are united by one heart. When people strive collectively for their nation, the country is bound to step towards prosperity.
译文:
这是一个非常鼓舞人心的情景.一个足球队的成员们肩并肩地站在一起迎接一场新的比赛.他们把手搭在其他人的后背上,象征着对彼此的支持和鼓励.尽管我们不能看到他们的脸,但却可以强烈地感受到他们的团结.
作为一种要求团队合作的活动,足球比赛把团结精神放在一个很高的位置.诚然,几个球技很高的球员会为球队的胜利做出非常大的贡献.但是球队持续令人满意的表现却不是取决于个人的优秀程度,而是每一个成员如何把自己看成是一个整体的一部分,如何完美地合作.确切地说,正是这种精神使得足球比赛成为了风靡世界的一项运动.这种精神是该运动的精髓,使它具有了吸引人们疯狂和热爱的特质.
从更广泛意义上来说,足球比赛也激励了人们把团结精神运用到日常的生活和工作中.这种精神同样也证明了一个历史真理,即一个国家的兴旺取决于该国的人民是否团结一条心.当人们为他们的国家共同奋斗的时候,这个国家一定会走向繁荣和兴旺.

范文:
This cartoon displays a very soothing scene. An old lady bought some stuff from a convenience store, and just at the moment when she was about to leave, the store keeper ran out to her because she had paid an extra two yuan. Though that is not a big amount of money, I believe the old lady must be greatly impressed by the keeper's honesty.
It is without doubt that the cartoon aims at addressing a serious problem prevailing in today's society, that is, the lack honesty in the field of business. For instance, many businessmen are so obsessed with making profit that they simply forget that they are supposed to serve the people with best products and services. Therefore, there emerge fake products, cheating services and unfulfilled promises. In contrast, the kind-hearted keeper of this drawing practices honesty in every detail of her work. Her attitude gives customer the sense that her product and service are of first-class quality, which would guarantee her more customers and credit.
The store keeper's practice is exactly what we should advocate among all businesses. That is because, honesty not only renders clients temporary satisfaction, but can also build long-term customer trust. The latter is one of the key factors for market expansion and business success.
译文:
这幅漫画展现了一个非常令人欣慰的情景.一个老妇人刚刚从一家便利店中买了一些东西,在她正要离开的时候,店主跑出来还给她多付的两块钱.尽管这点钱数目不多,但是我相信这个老妇人一定对店主的诚实留下了深刻的印象.
毫无疑问这幅漫画意在指出当今社会一个普遍且严重的社会问题,即商界缺乏诚信原则.具体而言,许多商人一心想着谋取更多的利润,而忘记了他们应该为顾客提供最好的产品和服务.因此就出现了诸如假冒产品,欺诈服务,无法兑现的诺言等.相反,这幅图中好心的店主却在工作的每一个细节中实践诚信的原则.她的态度让顾客感觉到她的服务和产品是一流的,这就保证了她拥有越来越多的顾客,更好的名声和信誉.
这个店主的行为正是我们应该在商界中努力实践的.这是因为,诚信不仅仅给了顾客暂时的满意感,而更能够建立长期的顾客信任.而后者是市场扩张和事业成功的关键因素之一.

范文:
As is shown in the picture above, an old man is seriously sick on the back of a young man who volunteers to send him to the hospital. The young guy is running and sweating, saying that "Grandpa, let me take you to the hospital". From his words we can surmise that the two people barely know each other.
The primary purpose of the picture lies in eulogizing the practice among people of selflessly offering help. As a matter of fact, it is not rare to find in our everyday life deeds of similar nature. For instance, the eldly, little kids, and pregnant women are usually provided seats by strangers in the most crowded buses. We can also hear many stories about how individuals return lost purses to their original owners while refusing to leave their names or take any reward. Not to mention those moving cases of nameless drivers saving lives in traffic accidents.
All in all, I firmly believe that a harmonious society is based on a sound and mutual-trusting relationship among common folk. By offering favors to each other, people not only obtain convenience and benefits, but also gain mental satisfactions that cannot be purchased.
译文:
正如图中所示,一个生病老人趴在一个年轻人背上,年轻人主动提出送老人去医院.这个年轻人边跑边流汗,说道:"老大爷,我送您去医院."很显然从他的话中我们可以猜测到这两个人并不认识对方.
毫无疑问,这幅画的目的在于赞扬人们之间无私地互相帮助的行为.实际上,我们在日常生活中并不难找到性质类似的事迹.例如,即使在非常拥挤的公共汽车上,总是有陌生人为老人,孩子和孕妇们让座.此外,我们也能够听到很多拾到钱包归还原主而不留名,不拿报酬的故事.更不用说一些无名司机拯救交通事故受害者们的感人故事.
总的来说,我坚信一个和谐社会是以人们之间健康和互信的关系为基础的.通过互相之间提供帮助,人们不仅收获了便利和利益,更是得到了无法用钱买到的精神上的满足.

范文:
The picture reveals a scenario that is commonly seen in any urban area. A woman on the third floor of a building is happily hanging up the clothes she just washed on a sunny day, ignoring that the dropping water is drenching the dry coverlets hung by her neighbor downstairs. The victim looks very annoyed by the women's selfish behavior.
It goes without saying that the drawing targets at assailing the deteriorating relationship among neighborhoods or communities. Not only friendship between neighbors becomes rarer, people even tend to forget that helping each other is our ethical responsibility. In contrast, they prefer to place their own interest at the utmost position, overwhelming the fact that others have the same rights. The result is that neighbors are often like strangers, who would never talk to each other of even a single word after living in the same building for years. It is also not surprising to hear news about old people died in their apartments without being known for month.
As the Chinese saying goes, a close neighbor is better than a distant cousin. It fully testifies that neighboring friendship is one of the traditional Chinese virtues, which should not be abandoned or omitted. In short, I firmly believe that maintaining a sound relationship with those who live nearby will make life easier and happier.
译文:
这幅图展示的是一个在都市中常见的场景.在一个阳光灿烂的日子里,一个女人在高兴地晾她刚刚洗完的湿衣服,完全不顾湿衣服的滴水弄湿了楼下邻居晾着的干床单.楼下的受害者看起来对这个女人的自私行为感到非常懊恼.
不言而喻,这幅图的目的在于抨击邻里之间关系的日渐恶化.不仅邻里之间的友谊变得越来越少见,人们甚至忘记了互相帮助是我们的道德责任.相反,他们更喜欢把自己的利益放在最高的位置,而不顾其他人也拥有相同权利.后果就是邻里之间形同陌路,经常发生大家住在一个楼里面很多年却从来没有说过一句话的现象,发生老人客死公寓数月却没有人发现的事情也不足为奇了.
中国古语有云,远亲不如近邻.这充分证明了邻里友谊是中华民族的传统美德之一,不应该被丢弃或者遗忘.简而言之,我坚信保持一个良好健康的邻里关系会使生活变得更加轻松和美好.

Study the following picture carefully and write an essay entitled "Cultures-National and International".
In the essay you should:
describe the picture and interpret its meaning, and
give your comment on the phenomenon.
You should write about 200 words on ANSWER SHEET 2.
真题分析:
本题体现了考研短文出题的多样性,采用了一张照片而不是传统的图画.这张照片十分具有感染力,但其中的难点是考生如何分析出图画的主题.我们可以看到题目中提示我们照片是一个美国女孩,因此我们可以将她引申为西方文化和思想的代表.而她身穿的中式服装则是中国传统和文化的代表.这身中式服装显然很适合美国女孩,而且女孩脸上甜蜜的笑容也说明她非常喜欢自己的装束.因此,我们可以认为这种和谐的氛围代表了西方人对于中国文化的接受,欣赏和认同.这就是本题的大致分析思路.
考生可以结合当今世界的全球化趋势来说明文化既是民族的,也是世界的.中国应当在国内外大力弘扬其优秀的传统文化,吸引全世界的眼球,并达到中国和世界各国文化的共同发展.
思路拓展:
通过这道真题我们可以很容易联想到,在信息时代的今天,世界缩小成为了一个"地球村",交流和联系变得十分方便.这使得全世界的人民抛弃了先前的民族,种族,国家等各种偏见,随着经济和贸易往来,政治交涉的日益频繁,各国人民的文化交流也更加密切,增进了彼此之间的欣赏和认同感.考生可以指出各国人民之间通过增进交流和理解,有助于保持和平,实现人类的共同发展,进步和繁荣.
范文:
It is a very eye-catching photo in which an American girl is content in showing her traditional Chinese costume. She fits perfectly in the well-decorated hat, earrings, and splendid robe that apparently originate from a Southern Chinese ethnic group. What makes this picture extraordinary is the girl's moving smile, which clearly indicates a westerner's recognition and appreciation of Chinese culture.
The sense of harmony that permeates this picture is representative of a new global tendency, that is, people of different nations begin to seek profound mutual understanding and friendly communication. As a result, cultures become international. China, in particular, unveils its previously mysterious image to the rest of the world by its open policy, and thus provides foreigners with the access of a rich and diversified gallery of traditional Chinese culture. The effect of such communication can be best exemplified by the recent years' fashion to celebrate the traditional Chinese new year-the Spring Festival globally.
While people belong to nations, cultures know no boundary. The contemporary globalization is not only featured by frequent international trades, economic and political exchanges, but more importantly, by global citizens' awareness and comprehension of the cultures in the world. I firmly believe that the blend of cultures is contributing, and will contribute more, to world peace, development, and prosperity.

这是一幅非常吸引人的照片,上面一位美国姑娘在非常满意地展示她的中式服装.这套服装包括了有着多彩装饰的帽子,耳环和漂亮的袍子,很显然是来自中国南方少数民族的传统服饰,女孩穿着非常合身.令这张照片显得非常特别的是这个美国女孩的动人笑容,体现出她对中国文化的认可和欣赏.
弥漫在这幅照片中的那种和谐氛围是当今一个全球潮流的典型代表,即来自不同国家的人们开始寻找彼此间深入的理解和友好的交流,因此,文化变得更加国际化.特别是中国正在揭开其先前的神秘面纱,通过对外开放政策向世界展示自己,为外国人提供了解丰富和多样的中国传统文化的途径.这种交流的效果的最好例证就是在近年来,全球兴起了一个新的流行趋势,那就是庆祝中国的传统新年――春节.
人们都属于不同的国家,但是文化是没有国界的.当代全球化的特点不仅仅只是更频繁的国际贸易,经济以及政治上的交流,而更重要的是全世界人民对于世界上各种文化的认识和理解.我坚信各种文化的融合正在给,也将会给世界的和平,发展和繁荣做出越来越多的贡献.

范文:
Recent years have witnessed an ever-increasing exchange of cultures between countries. As is shown in the picture, six adolescents from different countries with different ethnicities got together and took part in the activity called "American Culture Ambassador". Obviously, culture exchanges are gaining worldwide popularity.
There are several reasons accounting for this phenomenon of th picture. For one thing, cultural exchanges can enhance international friendship, and people can acquire better understanding of each other. Through cultural exchanges, they can learn of different peoples around the world, what they believe in, how they lead their daily life, and their traditions and customs. For another, cultural exchanges can also greatly benefit the countries involved. That is because countries can share their achievements with each other to stimulating their own social progress and cultural prosperity.
To sum up, worldwide cultural exchange is beneficial to all countries involved. As for China, the open-door policy has greatly promoted the Chinese civilization to the entire world and vice versa. Therefore, I can firmly conclude that in the long run, cultural exchanges will contribute to a flourishing Chinese and global economy, as well as diversified cultures.

最近几年间不同国家之间的文化交流变得越来越频繁.正如图中所示,五个来自不同国家,有着不同肤色的青少年聚集在一起,参加名为"美国文化交流小大使"的活动.很显然,文化交流在全世界正变得越来越流行.
我认为,这个现象的产生有诸多原因.一方面,文化交流能够促进国际间的友谊,而人们也可以增进对彼此的了解.通过文化交流,他们可以了解世界上其他地区的不同民族,他们的信仰,他们的日常生活,以及他们的传统和习俗.另一方面,文化交流也能够大大促进参与交流国家的发展.这是因为,不同国家能够交流彼此的成就,因此也会刺激他们自己的社会发展和文化繁荣.
总而言之,世界范围内的文化交流对于所有国家都是有利的.对于中国来说,开放政策把中华文明推向了全世界,也把世界其他文明引进了中国.因此,我坚持认为在长期看来,文化交流会促进中国和世界经济的繁荣以及文化的多样化发展.

老外过春节
范文:
What is presented here is a very interesting scenario. A white man is dressed in traditional Chinese costume composed of a bright red hat and a long robe. From the subtitle we know that he is participating in the annual celebration of the Chinese Spring Festival, his face revealing happiness and satisfaction. Behind him are more foreigners in traditional Chinese costumes of various styles.
We can deduce from the picture that the world is paying more attention to the traditional Chinese culture that with a long history. It partly owes to China's growth into one of world's principal economies, and partly to the colorful and diversified components in the culture itself. Except the case reflected in the picture, there is bountiful evidence demonstrating the prevailing influence and strong surge of Chinese culture. For example, it has become a convention for the French President to congratulate on the Chinese New Year.
To conclude, I believe that the world's recognition of Chinese culture brings China and the rest of the world closer. Apart from mutual benefits of economic expansion, culture exchanges also promote international friendships at home and abroad. Furthermore, they can create a friendly ecosystem to allow China a better environment of development. Lastly, they also contributes vastly to the world's peace and prosperity.
译文:
这幅图展示的是一个非常有趣的情景.一个白人穿着一套中国传统服装,即一顶大红的帽子和长袍.从题目中我们可推断他正在参加一个庆祝中国春节的年度盛会,同时他喜气洋洋的笑脸充分展示了他的快乐和满足.他后面还有更多的外国人穿着不同风格的中国服饰.
我们可以从这幅图中推断,世界对于拥有悠久历史的中国传统文化开始投入了越来越多的关注.这一部分是因为中国已发展成为世界上的主要经济体之一,一部分是因为中国文化本身就非常多采和丰富.除了图中反映的例子,还有无数的事实可以证明中国文化的影响越来越广泛和深入.例如,现在法国总统每年向中国人们问候新年已经成为了惯例.
总而言之,我认为世界对于中国文化的承认使得中国和世界其他地区走得越来越近了.除了经济扩张带来的相互利益,文化交流促进了在国内外的友谊发展.此外,文化交流也为中国的发展创造出了一个友好的环境.最后,这对于世界的和平与繁荣也做出了巨大的贡献.

范文:
The picture reveals two foreigners who are concentrating on practicing Chinese calligraphy. The woman is holding the brush in a very standard posture, while the Chinese character she wrote is of high aesthetic value. Clearly, she has mastered a high level of this mystical Chinese art.
The picture aims to remind us that Chinese art, with its diversified elements, is drawing enthusiastic attention from the rest of the world. For instance, the western society finds Chinese kong fu enthralling, which is particularly mirrored by the popularity of kong fu movies. Meanwhile, the world has also been conquered by Chinese tai chi, as well as traditional Chinese music, painting, calligraphy, and architecture. Even traditional Chinese medicine is gaining a steadily increasing recognition with its holistic perspective in treating diseases and maintaining health. More importantly, foreign interest in Chinese culture no longer is not only about appreciation of the surface, but they commence to explore the essence the civilization.
From a personal point of view, I am delighted to witness the prevalent circulation of Chinese culture. For one thing, the mood derives from a national pride that we can contribute enormously to the diversity of global culture. For another, Chinese art provides a great platform for people home and abroad to create friendships across countries.
译文:
这幅图展现了两个外国人正在聚精会神地练习中国的书法.我们可以看到这个女人以非常标准的姿势拿着毛笔,她写的大字也非常符合中国的审美.很显然,她已经掌握了这门中国艺术的高水平技能.
这幅图意在告诉我们,有着多元因素的中国艺术正在吸引来自全世界的热切关注.例如,西方社会发现中国的功夫非常美妙迷人,因此功夫电影也非常风靡.同时,中国太极拳,以及传统音乐,绘画,书法以及建筑等都征服了全世界.特别值得一提的是中医也正在获得越来越多的承认,这门医学以整体的视角来治疗疾病,保持人们的身体健康.更重要的是,外国人对于中国文化的欣赏不仅仅流于表面,他们已经开始探索中国文明的精华和底蕴.
在我个人看来,我非常高兴地看到中国文化的日趋流行.一方面,这种情绪来自于我的民族自豪感,我为我们可以对世界文化的多样性做出贡献感到骄傲.另一方面,中国艺术给国内外的人们提供了一个巨大的平台,使她们可以发展跨国友谊.

如果重新画这幅画,最好多画上一些白人和黑人的脸.
范文:
A first glace at this picture gives us the impression that it is a common running competition. Yet, a more careful survey reveals that the participants of the race come from different countries, as is indicated by their skin colors. The banner behind further tells us that the event was held jointly by Chinese and American students on the symbolic site of the Great Wall.
Anyone who sees this picture would be convinced that such an activity must generate international friendship among the young. As is commonly known, sports usually serve the role of "ambassador" among nations, greatly promoting mutual understanding and communication between different peoples. Take the Sino-U.S. relation as an example, against the background of the Cold War in the 1970s, the cold relation between the two countries was firstly warmed up not by politicians but ping-pong players from both countries. Moreover, the Olympic Games is also endeavoring to achieve the ultimate goal of uniting the world's citizens by encouraging them to compete fairly in the domain of sports.
To briefly conclude, sport activities and competitions not only bring forth personal enjoyment and friendship among common people, but more importantly, beneficial exchanges across countries, and for that matter, world peace and prosperity. In particular, they can also help shape a more sound relationship among future generations.

第一眼看到这幅图给我们的印象是这是一场普通的跑步比赛.但是,仔细观察该图我们会发现跑步者肤色不同,他们应该是来自不同的国家.图上的横幅进一步告诉我们这是一场中美学生在具有象征意义的中国长城上举办的一场活动.
任何看过这幅图画的人们都会相信这样的一场活动一定会促成年轻人之间的国际友谊.众所周知,运动一般都扮演了国家之间的"大使"这一角色,能够巨大地促进不同民族之间的互相理解和交流.以中美关系为例,在20世纪70年代冷战的大背景下,两国关系不是由政治家而是两国的乒乓球运动员们改善的.此外,奥林匹克运动会也是努力通过鼓励世界人民通过体育的公平竞争来达到团结人们的最终目的的.
简单的总结来说,体育活动和竞赛不仅可以带来个人的享受和民间友谊,更重要的是还可以带来跨国间的有益交流,以及世界和和平和繁荣,特别是还可以帮助在下一代之间形成更加健康的关系.

北大国际文化节
范文:
What is presented in front of us is a very affecting scene. Two African students are showcasing some traditional instruments from their hometown to a Chinese student, and they are trying to teach the latter how to play the instruments. It is one of the happy moments in the International Festival of China's most prestigious university, Peking University.
The message behind this picture is quite clear, that is, the Chinese are enhancing their communication with the world in terms of culture. International Festival, for instance, provides a sufficient platform for overseas students to demonstrate unique forms of art from their own countries. Accordingly, Chinese students also obtain a great chance to appreciate exotic aesthetics. It is not only an event of showing and watching, it is more an interactive process in which all people have the same opportunity to seek friendship and knowledge.
Out of holding cultural communication activities is beneficial to both people in and outside China, they win mutual favor and trust, thus further promoting friendship and cooperation. If this kind of friendship can be extended to the relations among nations, it will be bliss for the world peace.

北京人学英语
范文:
This picture describes an old Beijing resident's encounter with a foreigner on the subway. The old man is learning English, and he seizes the good chance not only to practice English but also to ask some questions. From the picture we can perceive that the foreigner is also very happy to do him a favor.
The harmonious atmosphere conveyed in the picture is quite stimulating, implying that Beijing is becoming a more international and friendly city. Moreover, the whole country of China is opening her arms to embrace a world that is witnessing strong globalization. Against such a background, Chinese citizens are presented with a lively stage for more frequent and in-depth communications with people from the outside world. Especially at the eve of China's hosting the 2008 Olympic Games, studying English, for instance, is no longer a business of the youngsters, but of those of all ages, occupations, and social status.
In my opinion, this tendency is very encouraging. That is, Chinese people are increasingly interested in the rest of the world, and are quite willing and ready to befriend foreigners. Consequently, it can enhance not merely economic trade but more importantly, culture communications. With more mutual understanding, China and the world can both anticipate a brighter future.

这幅图中所传达的和谐氛围令人非常振奋,说明北京正在变成一个更加国际化和友好的城市.更进一步说,整个中国正在张开双臂拥抱全球化的世界.在这一背景下,中国人也站到了一个生动的舞台上与外面世界的人们进行频繁和深入的交流.特别是在中国举办2008年奥运会前夕,学习英语不再是年轻人的任务,所有年龄,职业和社会地位的人们都在学习英语.
我认为这种趋势非常鼓舞人心.中国人对于这个世界越来越感兴趣,更加愿意与外国人为友.这不仅能够促进经济上的贸易,更能促进文化交流.彼此间深入的了解能够使中国和世界都能展望一个更加美好的未来.

范文:
This picture is actually a poster advertising for the cultural exchange activities between China and France. As it is nicely designed, we can see that the campaign includes performances of traditional dance, opera, drama and other forms of art from the two countries. Surely the poster can excite public attention for such a splendid exchange.
As a matter of fact, the poster portrays merely a diminutive part of China's endeavor in the recent years to advocate its own culture to the rest of the world. A careful survey help us discover that our country is actively engaged in hosting "Year of China" activities in lots of foreign countries. During that one year, citizens of other nations can have access in their neighborhoods or communities to live performances of the unique Peking Opera and other Chinese operas. There are also exhibitions concerning Chinese painting, music and cultural relics that succeed in arousing great enthusiasm for China among common foreigners.
In my point of view, cultural communication is an indispensable supplement to further promote China's political and economic exchange with the world. Political exchanges give care compassions, and money, to economic exchanges. Therefore, such activities can greatly help smooth China merging into global community.
译文:
这幅图实际上是一幅宣传中法之间的文化交流活动的海报.从这幅设计精致的海报中,我们可以发现该活动包括了来自两国的传统舞蹈,戏曲,戏剧以及其他形式的艺术表演.这幅海报一定会在民众中激起对这种精彩交流活动的强烈兴趣.
实际上,这幅海报体现的只是中国在几年来向世界宣传其文化活动的一个极小的部分.如果我们做一个仔细的研究,就会发现我们国家正积极地投身于在国外举办所谓的"中国年"活动.在这一年中,各国的民众可以在他们的社区中欣赏现场的演出,包括独特的京剧以及其他中国戏曲等.此外,还有许多关于中国绘画,音乐以及文物的各类展览,这些都成功地在普通外国人中激发了对于中国的热情.
我认为,文化交流是促进中国与世界的政治与经济交流的一种必不可少的补充.这是因为,前者给后者那种纯粹的利益交换增添了更多的人情味.因此,这些活动能够极大地促进中国融入到世界中去.

(1)2003年真题.Directions:
Study the following set of drawings carefully and write an essay in which you should:
1) describe the set of drawings, interpret its meaning, and
2) point out its implications in our life.
You should write about 200 words on ANSWER SHEET 2.
真题分析:
这又是一组对比的组图,非常简单明了.两张图的大背景都是暴风雨交加的恶劣天气,在左边的图中,花朵在温室中绚烂地开放;而右图中,同样的一朵花在离开了温室之后就黯然凋谢了.组图题为"温室花朵经不起风雨",考生稍加分析就可以发现该图并不只是谈论花朵,而更是指向了我们平时所说的"祖国的花朵"们,也就是孩子们,这就自然而然地和社会问题联系在了一起.中国在实施了计划生育之后,独生子女们成为了家里的"小皇帝","小公主",受到全家人的百般呵护,从小就在蜜罐中长大.这些孩子们人生道路几乎都是一帆风顺,没有经历过大的困难和挫折,因此一旦离开了父母的保护,就很容易由于经不起各种社会现实的打击而一蹶不振.通过这番分析,我们就可以得出文章的主要论点,即受到过分溺爱的孩子们经不起挫折和逆境.
思路拓展:
独生子女成长的问题在很大程度上牵涉到了中国的教育制度和教育方法等全方位的问题.我们可以联想到现阶段在教育界存在的其他热点问题,如传统灌输教育和素质教育之间的关系,孩子的学习和娱乐之间的关系,学生们的全面发展问题,教育费用和教育负担的问题,教育质量的问题,城乡教育制度差别的问题,教育公平性问题等等.这些问题都是平时政府,民众和媒体非常关注的问题,考生借助自己的大学生活背景也能够了解许多相关的情况.应该说,教育类的话题对于考生说是一个比较熟悉,也相对比较简单容易的话题.
范文:
As the title indicates, "greenhouse flowers cannot survive unpleasant weather", the set of pictures apparently reminds us that excessive protection only leads to negative results. When a flower blossoms in the greenhouse despite of the external rain and thunder, it withers immediately once being moved out of its cozy haven.
Children in China are always compared to "the flowers of our motherland". It is alarming that a large portion of them are in danger of experiencing a similar misfortune to the flower in the picture. This is partly attributed to the birth of a generation of "only children", who are quite pampered and spoiled by their parents. Leading a life full of success, love and sweetness, these children are quite ignorant of failure, hardship, and the taste of tears that abound in real life. Therefore, when they leave home, they might be overly sensitive to frustration and easily suffer depression that prevents them from a happy and promising future.
This type of child is not what we hope for the future of our country. On the contrary, we need to nurture a generation that is fully prepared for independent life, so that it is ready to confront any challenge, adapt to changes of environment, and survive the heated competition in today's world.
译文:
正如该图的题目所显示的那样,"温室里的花朵经不起风雨",这组图画清楚地告诉我们过度的保护只会导致负面的结果.当外面打雷下雨的时候,一朵花却能在温室中生机勃勃地开放.可是一旦离开了这个舒适的避难所来到外面的时候,这朵花立刻就凋谢了.
在中国,孩子经常被比作"祖国的花朵".但是,令人担忧的是很多孩子有可能经历图中花朵的不幸.部分原因可以归结为"独生子女"一代的出生,这些孩子都被他们的父母惯坏了.他们的生活中只充满了成功,爱和甜蜜,而他们都不懂什么是失败,艰难,也很少尝过眼泪的滋味,但是实际生活中却是充满了失败,艰难和眼泪的.因此,他们可能会对挫折过于敏感,也很容易及沉湎于忧郁,使他们在踏入社会以后没有一个幸福和充满前景的未来.
这一类孩子决不是我们国家未来需要的人才.相反,我们需要培育一代能够独立生活的孩子,他们随时准备面对任何挑战,随时适应环境的变化,并能够在现代社会的激烈竞争中生存下来.

范文:
As is described in the drawing, a student fails in a knowledge competition simply because his answer to one question, though being 100% correct, is not exactly the same as the so-called standard answer. It is discernable that other students are quite puzzled by why "1+2=3" is wrong while "2+1=3" is right.
The drawing reminds its audience of a widespread phenomenon in the area of basic education in China, that is, educators stick blindly to fixed standards without allowing any room of flexibility or variation.
