2001年考研英语作文真题解说
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. (20 points)
2001年考研作文经历了一次重大的变革——文章要求有所改动：字数增多，由原来的150字增到200字，也就是说180字以下的文章要扣分。同时写作部分的分值也由15分提高到20分，充分体现了写作在考研英语测试中的重要地位。
本文中的图画非常简单，结合提示考生很容易理解其含义，但这张图片的意义却很深远：油灯上面的火焰是一个孩子的微笑，在黑暗中发出明亮的光芒，上面还有一句提示语“爱心是一盏灯，在越黑暗的地方越明亮。”这句话的理解关系到对整篇文章中心思想的正确理解。这句话的前半句是个比喻，后半句是一个越…… 越……的结构，考生应该深刻领会爱心的重要作用。本文中的提纲有三点，一是写出对于图画象征意义的理解，二是举出一个具体的事例，三是就献爱心的最好办法给出建议。另外这道题目中增加了情景语言，即：包括情景说明，提纲说明，以及图画。降低了题目的难度，考生可以结合提纲式作文、规定情景作文和图画作文的写作特点完成本文的写作。但要注意一个重要原则：英语情景说明语句，不可直接照搬，需要进行改动。尽量应用同义，近义词，相关表达，不同句式改造。例如worthy 可以替换为valuable，feelings 可以替换为emotions，mankind 可以替换为human being，noblest可以替换为greatest
等。我们可分三段来完成本文。在第一段中不仅应描述图画，还应描述上面的那句话。在第二段中，应举一个能与图画所表达的道理相匹配的典型事例。这样的事例很多，考生可以结合自己的经历列举，如希望工程、抗洪捐款等等，也可以列举具体人物。最后一段中，考生可以提出自己的建议，这一部分难度不高，考生可以套用一些模版句型。
经典范文赏析
In the picture presented to us, an oil lamp gives out bright flame against the dark background. The flame is like a child s smile, so innocent and pure.
The oil lamp here is a symbol of love, which is the greatest among all the valuable emotions of human being. Just as the Chinese characters around the lamp say, love is a lamp; the darker the room is, the brighter it looks. It is true that the harder the situation is, the more valuable love is.
One good example to illustrate this love is the "Hope Project". As we all know, although our economy is much better than years of ago, a great gap still remains between east and west regions, between large cities and rural areas. Thousands of poor children are forced to quit school because of lacking of money. All works of life have worried about this situation. "Hope Project", which is proposed just in time, calls for people to show their loves for those children unable to go to school, and tens of thousands of people has lent their hands without asking for any return.
The best way to show love, I think, is to be devoted to our work and our nation. Everyone is indeed unique loved by the people around, and therefore we must learn to love others, and try our best to shoulder the responsibility of the job so as to help others live better and make contribution to our nation.
译文
图中我们可以看到一盏灯正在黑暗中闪耀着光芒。火焰像一张充满童贞的笑脸。这盏灯是爱的象征，爱是人类所有感情中最伟大的。正如图中的汉字所写“爱心是一盏灯，在越黑暗的地方越明亮。”的确情况越艰难就越能显示爱的伟大。
阐述这种爱一个好例子就是“希望工程”。我们都知道，尽管近年来，我们的经济条件比以前好了很多，但东西、城乡差距依然存在。很多困难家庭的孩子因为没有钱只好辍学。社会各界对此都非常担心。“希望工程”应声而出，它呼吁人们为不能上学的孩子献爱心。成千上万的人不求回报的伸出了爱心之手。
我认为献爱心最好的办法就是投身工作，献身国家。我们每一个人都在接受着身边人的爱，因此我们要学爱他人。我们应该尽力完成好自己的本职工作帮助他人更好地生活，大家都能为祖国做贡献。

You should write about 200 words neatly on ANSWER SHEET 2. (20 points) An American girl in traditional Chinese costume(服装)
2002年考查的也是图画作文，但却是第一次使用照片。照片上是一位穿着传统中国服饰的美国姑娘，她的脸上挂着微笑，可以看出她非常高兴，上面还有一行关于照片的注释。文章中已经给出了标题和大纲。大纲主要有两点：一是描述图片并解释含义;二是对此现象做出自己的评论。从照片中考生很容易就可以想到其寓意是民族的文化可以成为世界的。确定了这个主题后，我们就可以进一步确定一个支配思想，即这一趋势对于人类发展是有利的。接下来考生就可以围绕这一思想，分三段进行写作，首段简要地描述照片，次段阐述其含义，末段给出评论。在审题构思时应注意：以小见大、把握象征寓意。关于评论部分可以有三个写作角度：提建议、考虑背景及原因、或描述未来、预测未来。考生最好能列出简单的提纲，写好每段的主题句，最后进行扩展。对于这张照片的描述可能会有一些单词需要特别注意：如发带ribbon、耳环earrings、项链necklace、少数民族minority group、妇女服饰accessories等。

Cultures-National and International
At first sight of the picture, my eyes are brightened by the pretty girl, beaming with a simile on her face. She is a typical American girl, but she is
dresses in our traditional Chinese costume. It seems that the girl is very proud of the Chinese costume.
It goes without saying that the picture indicates that a culture of one nation may become international, which is beneficial to all human beings. Actually the girl stands for two different cultures-western and eastern cultures. Her charming smile is the essential touch of the whole picture, which symbolizes the harmonious blending of the two cultures. With economic globalization, the blending of different cultures has become a necessary trend of the times. On one hand, a large number of people from different countries have been pouring into China. On the other hand, Chinese people are also exposed to different foreign cultures when they go abroad or when more foreign people come to China. In this way, people from various nations in the world will be able to acquire better understanding of each other.
As far as I am concerned, I think this phenomenon is good to all of us. It is an effective way to achieve efficient cross-cultural communication and promote world peace and prosperity.

看到这张照片的第一眼，我就被这个面带微笑的漂亮女孩吸引了。很明显她是一个美国女孩，但她却穿着传统的中国服饰。看上去她对于她穿的中国服饰非常的自豪。
勿容置疑这张照片揭示了这样一个道理，民族的可以变成世界的，这对人类的发展是有益的。事实上这个女孩代表了两种文化——西方和东方文化。她充满魅力的微笑是整张照片的核心，代表着两种文化的和谐相融。随着经济全球化，不同文化的融合已经成为一个趋势。一方面，很多外国人涌到了中国，另一方面，
更多的中国人也可以自己出国或与来中国的外国人有更多的接触。这样，世界各地的人们就可以更好地相互了解。
我个人认为，这一现象对大家都好。这是进行跨文化交流和促进世界和平和繁荣的一种非常有效的方法。

The above two pictures have shaped sharp contrast to each other. In one picture, a flower grows in a greenhouse and is in full bloom in spite of the outside rain. But in the other, the flower, moved outside and without the protection of the greenhouse, is withering in the thunderstorm. The two pictures show us that the flower, which is raised in a greenhouse and carefully protected, cannot stand natural wind and rain at all.
It is most likely that the drawer means to compare children in our country to the flower in his drawings and reflect a problem in the present education of our children. For one thing, nowadays, most children are brought up by their parents with tender care. Parents always try their best to meet the children s demands, to provide them with the best environment of growth and study and to protect them from any possible harms, setbacks and sufferings. For another, owing to the present examination oriented education system, most children are too heavily burdened with studies to have time to take part in social activities, so they learn little about the society, the real world outside their family and school. Growing up in such a manner and such an environment,
the children will inevitably and naturally lack the ability to stand sufferings and overcome obstacles when they leave their parents and step into the society.
To sum up, the problem of children s education must be solved timely and effectively because it is they that constitute the future of our country. 2004年

Section ⅣWriting
In the picture presented to us, there is a boy running on annular tracks and reaching the finishing line. Heavily sweating as he is, a happy smile hangs on his lips. However, as an arrow marked “End” points on the finishing line, there occurs another arrow marked with “Beginning”.
Though this picture only describes a runner who is going to start a new run after reaching the finishing line, yet it demonstrates a universal law that governs the development of mankind. In other words, if we want to make constant progress we must keep forging ahead instead of resting on laurels.
Robertson once said, “Whenever he is satisfied with what he does, he has reached his culminating point—he will progress no more.”
This reminds me of Picasso, whose works greatly influenced the path of 20th century art. But what has impressed me most is not the notable success
he has achieved but his enterprising spirit. Besides “the greatest artist of the 20th century”, he is acclaimed as “the youngest artist in the world” because he unremittingly pursued and explored new styles of painting all his life. After producing his most famous post impressionist style, he later developed many
other styles and even at the last moment of his life he was producing a new painting.

Dear Mr. Wang,
It was very kind of you to give me this opportunity to work as an editor, but now I am very sorry to say that I have to quit my present job.
The chief reason is that I find the job is not as challenging as I have thought. I have been asked to do the jobs of checking and proofreading instead of accomplishing creative tasks such as inventing and formulating. Besides, the pay also turns out to be lower than my expectation.
I am sure that my working experience here will benefit me in my future career. I do apologize for any inconvenience cause by my resignation, and I wish you all the best.
Best regards.

What a distressing irony to see such a special “football” match! The ball is an old father, and none of the four goal keepers, three sons and a daughter, would let the “ball” go into their goals. The father can do nothing but huddle himself up in the middle of the field. Looking at the picture, I believe, every reader with conscience will feel intensely pained by the pitiful situation of the father and the hardhearted filial impiety of the sons and the daughter.
It is no doubt that the sons and the daughter are to be condemned. Father is the person who has brought them up with great love. How can they treat him so cruelly? Filial piety has been advocated as a traditional Chinese virtue throughout history. Every step of a child s growth, from birth to death, bears so much time and energy of the parents and above all, their unselfish love. So our parents rightly deserve our reward—love, respect, care and support. What s more, family relationship is very much like a mirror. If you smile upon it, it will smile back upon you. By treating our parents kindly, we will set an example for our sons and daughters and gain their respect and love in return.
In a word, it is our innate obligation to be filial to our parents.

The photos show two big fans of Beckham—a British football star. One writes the star s name on his face and the other is having his hair made an
expensive Beckham style.
From them, we can vividly sense the enthusiasm of hero worship, which is an ordinary phenomenon in modern society. As a matter of fact, with mass media and multi culture fast developing, hero worship covers an increasingly
large scope. People from all walks of life, usually if they are successful, outstanding or popular, may be admired by others.
Hero worship is not absolutely right or wrong. It depends on what the worshipper does for his idol. If handled appropriately, hero worship may stimulate the positive aspects in us, such as passion for life, motivation for work and noble values. Learning from our idols we can gain enlightenment, encouragement and qualities that we need when we strive for a career. By loving them, we can add color to our life and explore a larger range of social experiences.
But as everything has its limits, hero worship will bring adverse effects beyond proper control. If we are indulged in it and lose ourselves, we will be shaded by our idols and then what will be the meaning of our personal life?
Therefore, the key lies in whether we can maintain our independence and individuality. It is up to us to live in the shadow or the sunshine of the heroes we admire.

Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing this letter to raise some suggestions for improving the service of our university library.
Generally speaking, the library functions well, but there are still several problems. To begin with, more librarians should work in the circulation hall so that students can borrow and return books more quickly. In addition, the opening hours should be lengthened so that more students can take advantage of the library. Last but not least, the computer room should be expanded so that more students can gain access to the Intranet and the Internet.
I will be grateful if my suggestions receive your favorable consideration, and I firmly believe that the service level will be improved significantly in the near future.

In the picture, there shapes a sharp conflict between the goal keeper and the ball player. The former exaggerates the goal and minimizes himself in his mind while the latter thinks otherwise. Actually, both the goal and the keeper are just in normal size. What causes the problem is that they have overestimated the difficulty they are each faced with. Such attitude towards difficulty will surely produce negative effects on the results.
Difficulties are in the pathway of everyone. To overcome them, we must at first make correct judgment on the situation, which is based on confidence, courage and rational thinking. Let s take memory for example. In the process
of learning, students need to remember a lot of things, such as Chemical Elements Periodic Table, ancient articles and mathematical formulae. But many complain that it is hard to remember them accurately and they are ready to give up when they feel so. On the contrary, those who learn successfully are confident about themselves and willing to try although they also feel difficult at first. And later they find the more they practise the memory, the easier it becomes to remember.
In conclusion, if we are to succeed in handling the difficult things, we must have self confidence, judge the situation rationally and be courageous
enough to keep trying.

The picture presents a touching sight to us. Two handicapped men are walking quite quickly by binding their disabled legs together and holding fast to each other s shoulders, with their crutches left behind. What respectable
persons they are! They have surpassed their own physical deficiency and explored a smoother and easier way of advancing by drawing strength and
support from each other. Obviously, what is highlighted in the picture is cooperation.
In modern times, cooperation has become an efficient and effective way to solve many problems. To begin with, through cooperation, we can heighten our strength so as to accomplish the things that are impossible to be done only by one person. We all have our own limitations and with the fast development of science and technology, we are facing a world that is more and more sophisticated. Therefore, we often need to combine others abilities and resources to gain success. What s more, cooperation is not the simple addition but fusion of all partners strength. Making use of different members strong points, offsetting the weaknesses, supporting mutually and sharing resources with each other, we can then attain to a capacity that is much stronger than the sum of all partners .
All in all, by cooperation among each other, we will be able to explore a wider world and reach further.

Dear Editor，
I am writing this letter to you in order to give my views and opinions on the ban on the usage of plastic bags in our local areas. because I think the result of it fails a lot.
I know that there are many local residents in favour of the usage of plastic bags so that many businesses would still attract their regular customers by using them. However, in order to cope with the worsening problem, my suggestion is that a substitute of plastic bags shall be made and accepted by
the customers. In addition, local authorities are supposed to make relative laws against such behavior.
I would appreciate it if you could take my suggestions seriously. I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.

The drawing vividly depicts that in a circular area which can be divided into some sub-sections, there is one person in each, working or playing on a computer. Nowadays many people, especially, young fellows are tracing such fashion of life and working style. What is conveyed in the drawing is realistic and most meaningful.
There are reasons accounting for this fashion. Firstly, with the rapid development of society, advances in office equipments have been made, which has led to the improvement of the working means of many people. Therefore,
many people are required to expertise in the operation of computers. Some, even, have become addicted to the internet. Secondly, Internet enmeshes the world so that people assume they can gain various information on it, without stepping out of their rooms. Thirdly, some people even don’t want to waste their valuable time so that they turn to Internet to gain what they want.
Frankly speaking, this social phenomenon is another double-edged sword. It has both positive and negative impacts on the whole society. It is universally accepted Internet offers many benefits to humans. Some young men, on the opposite, spend most of their time in front of computers, which would lead them into poor health. Moreover, it is harmful to the establishment of people’s ability to communicate with others.
To draw a conclusion, we don’t deny that people should take advantage of Internet, but in a sensible way. And also parents should give proper advice to their children to form a proper outlook of surfing on Internet.
