2015年考研英语(二)作文试题评析
2015考研英语二大作文真题详解
2015考研英语二大作文真题详解我国某市居民春节假期花销比例图标显示了我国某市居民春节假期花销比例, 考生分析原因的话也会很简单。
下面分三段简要地说一下这三段应该怎么写。
第一段主要是描述图表。
图表一目了然,数量词百分比也是大家熟悉的词汇,主要是春节的翻译,可能有些同学不会写,为Spring Festival。
表述数据时,图中有四组数据,由于字数的限制以及为了写作的便利可以突出最大比例的“新年礼物”,其他两个“交通”和“聚会吃饭”可以选择其一来描述,注意百分比的表达方式。
第二段给出你的评论,主要写这种情况的原因。
主要要结合图表描述的内容从两个方面写起。
一方面为什么买新年礼物花费的钱最多,另一方面为什么交通或者聚会会占到20%比例。
最后结尾段落可简要得出结论,这种现象并不奇怪,还将继续下去。
参考例文:As is clearly reflected in the above pie chart, the proportion of money spent on various affairs demonstrates obvious differences during the Spring Festival in one city of China. According to the data given, the money spent on buying gifts for others tak es a lion’s share, accounting for 40%. While transportation takes away 20% of the whole proportion.What triggers this phenomenon? It is not difficult to put forward several factors responsible for this phenomenon. To start with, with the ever-growing eagerness to keep up with others, oceans of folks intended to offer thicker and thicker red envelope to kids as gift money, which leads to the high proportion of our expenditure. What’s more, due to the great urbanization, most Chinese residents move from their hometowns to work in big cities. In order to cover the long distance and enjoy the happy together with family members, a large amount of money is spent on transportation.In view of the arguments above, we can conclude that the current phenomenon is of no surprise. And therefore, it can be predicted that buying gifts and transportation will still take up a large share in our expenditure during the Spring Festival.考研成功难又不难,一旦大家开始准备就要全力以赴。

2015考研英语二作文2015年考研英语二作文题目是关于合作与竞争的要求考生就这一主题发表自己的看法。
以下是一篇可能的范文标题合作与竞争实现共赢的关键随着全球化的不断深入合作与竞争已成为当今世界经济发展的两大驱动力。
在这一背景下如何平衡二者之间的关系实现共赢成为了一个值得深入探讨的话题。
Cooperation and competition have become the two main driving forces of economic development in todays world as globalization continues to deepen. Against this backdrop how to balance the relationship between the two and achieve a winwin situation has become a topic worth exploring in depth.首先合作是实现共赢的基础。
在经济全球化的背景下各国之间的联系日益紧密只有通过合作才能实现资源的共享和优势的互补从而推动经济的共同发展。
例如跨国公司通过合作可以更好地利用全球资源提高生产效率降低成本从而在激烈的市场竞争中获得优势。
Firstly cooperation is the foundation of achieving a winwin situation. Under the background of economic globalization the connections between countries are becoming increasingly close. Only through cooperation can resources be shared and advantages be complemented thus promoting the common development of the economy. For example multinational companies can better utilize global resources improve production efficiency reduce costs and thus gain an advantage in the fierce market competition through cooperation.然而合作并不意味着放弃竞争。

2015年考研英语二作文英文回答:In 2015, I took the English II exam for thepostgraduate entrance examination. The writing part of the exam required us to choose one of the two topics and write an essay of at least 800 words. I chose the topic about the impact of social media on interpersonal communication. I started by discussing the positive aspects of social media, such as its ability to connect people from different partsof the world and facilitate communication. Then, I delved into the negative effects, such as the potential for misunderstandings and the lack of face-to-face interaction.I also provided examples to support my points, such as how social media has helped me stay in touch with friends and family who live far away, but also how it can sometimeslead to miscommunication.After discussing both the positive and negative aspects, I concluded by emphasizing the importance of finding abalance in using social media for communication. I also suggested that people should be mindful of how they communicate online and strive to maintain meaningful connections in person. Overall, I believe my essayeffectively conveyed my thoughts on the topic and provideda well-rounded perspective.中文回答:2015年,我参加了研究生入学考试的英语二科目考试。

Of all the expenses, money spent on various gifts is at the top of the list, accounting for about 40%. By comparison,those on food and traffic occupy 20% respectively.There seem to be two elements involved in this phenomenon that people spend more on gifts than on other parts. To begin with, sometimes, the real position of gifts in our mind has less to do with its utility than its symbolic value, which represents our kindness to our friends and relatives. A good case in point now is a notable movie called “Da Wan” or “Big Sh ot's Funeral”, directed by Xiaogang, Feng, which spreads a well-knownview——gifts are indispensable in interaction with others. Meanwhile,externally,our society is sparing no efforts to produce a brand-new concept that one's social status is associated tightly with the gifts we send to others, which can also show his or her property.To sum up, this trend is likely to continue for quite a long time in the future. Firmly,I believe that it is advisable for departments concerned to lay down strict rules and regulations so that we can put the situation under proper control.。

即成Theoretically,several reasons may trigger the trend that people tend to spend more money to buy gifts during the Spring Festival,but as for my part,the following two are of great value.其次,具体原因。
对于春节期间人们更乐意将钱花在购买新年礼物上这一现象,其原因很多,包括春节在中国节日里面的重要性促使人们回家时购买大量礼物,以及春节期间各种礼物广告的泛滥变相鼓励了人们去花钱等等,当然还有其他的一些原因,大家可以自由发挥,只要合情合理即可。
但是要注意:考虑到语言多样性的评分标准,写作时不可只用简单的单词或短语来衔接列举原因,因此可以用句子来列举,具体如下:On the top of list is that the current state of the affair may have been encouraged,though not justified,by the widely spreading advertisements of gifts. In addition,there is the other point that no one can ignore. It is universally acknowledged that the Spring Festival is the most important festival in our nation during which most people will buy gifts for their families and friends.以上是第二段的主要内容,接下来继续看第三段。
第三段中主要就上面分析的这一现象进行趋势预测,那么很明显在接下来的很长一段时间里春节期间人们都会花大量地钱来为身边的亲人、朋友购买新年礼物,这种形式将会持续下去。
2015考研英语二大作文
2015考研英语二大作文With the advent of the digital age, technology has seepedinto every facet of our lives, including the way we educate the next generation. The 2015 Postgraduate Entrance English Examination (known as the Gaokao) featured a significant essay topic that delved into the influence of technology on traditional education systems. This essay will explore the various ways in which technology has transformed the educational landscape, the benefits it offers, and the challenges it poses to conventional teaching methods.Firstly, the integration of technology in classrooms has led to a more interactive and engaging learning experience. Students now have access to a wealth of information at their fingertips, which was unimaginable a few decades ago. The use of multimedia presentations, online resources, and educational software has made learning more dynamic and has catered to different learning styles, thus enhancing the overall educational experience.Secondly, technology has made education more accessible. Online courses and virtual classrooms have broken down geographical barriers, allowing students from remote areas to access quality education that was previously only availablein urban centers. This democratization of education has the potential to bridge the gap between the haves and have-nots in the educational sphere.However, the rapid integration of technology also poses challenges to traditional education. One of the primary concerns is the digital divide, where students from less privileged backgrounds may not have the same access to technology as their more affluent peers. This disparity can exacerbate existing inequalities in the education system.Additionally, the reliance on technology in education can sometimes lead to a decrease in critical thinking and problem-solving skills. With the ease of finding information online, students may become less inclined to engage in deep thought processes and more dependent on readily available answers.In conclusion, while technology has undoubtedlyrevolutionized the way we approach education, it is essential to strike a balance between leveraging its benefits and preserving the core values of traditional education. Educators must adapt to these changes by integrating technology in a way that complements, rather than replaces, the essential skills of critical thinking, creativity, and human interaction that are at the heart of education. The 2015 Gaokao essay prompt served as a reminder of the need for a thoughtful and balanced approach to the role of technology in shaping the future of education.。

Researchers measured people’s cortisol, which is a stress marker, while they were at work and while they were at home and found it higher at what is supposed to be a place of refuge. “Further contradicting conventional wisdom, we found that women as well as men have lower levels of stress at work than at home,” writes one of the researchers, Sarah Damske. In fact women t work, she notes. “It is men, not women, who report being happier at even say they feel better ahold true for both those with true for both those with children and that findings hold home than at work.” Another surprise is without, but more so for nonparents. This is why people who work outside the home have better health. What the study doesn’t measure is whether people are still doing work when they’re at home, whether it is household work or work brought home from the office. For many men, the end of the workday is a time to kick back. For women who stay home, they never get to leave the office. And for women who work outside the home, they often are playing catch-up-with-household tasks. With the the blurring blurring blurring of of of roles, roles, roles, and and and the the the fact fact fact that that that the the the home home home front front front lags lags lags well well well behind behind behind the the the workplace workplace workplace in in in making making adjustments for worki ng women, it’s not surprising that women are more stressed at home.But it’s not just a gender thing. At work, people pretty much know what they’re supposed to be doing: working, marking money, doing the tasks they have to do in order to draw an income. The bargain is very pure: Employee puts in hours of physical or mental labor and employee draws out life-sustaining moola. On the home front, however, people have no such clarity. Rare is the household in which the division of labor is so clinically and methodically laid out. There are a lot of tasks to be done, there are inadequate rewards for most of them.

Their thesis — that a relatively modest intervention could have a big impact — was based on the the view view view that that that first-generation first-generation first-generation students students students may may may be be be most most most lacking lacking lacking not not not in in in potential potential potential but but but in in in practical practical knowledge about how to deal with the issues that face most college students.

Many first-first-generation generation students “struggle to navigate the middle middle-class -class culture of higher education, learn the ‘rules of the game,’ and take advantage of college resources,” they write. And this becomes more of a problem when collages don’t talk about the clas class s advantage and disadvantages disadvantages of of of different different different groups groups groups of of of students. students. students.

But if your work is your “passion,” you’ll be more likely to devote yourself to it, even if that means going home for dinner and then working long after the kids are in bed.

And they were right. For now it appears the economy is creating jobs at a decent pace. We still have a long way to go to get back to full employment, but at least we are now finally moving forward at a faster pace. However, there is another important part of the jobs picture that was largely overlooked. There was a big jump in the number of people who repot voluntarily working part-time. This figure is now 830,000 (4.4 percent) above its year ago level. Before Before explaining explaining the connection to the Obamacare, it is worth making an important distinction.

They are only classified as voluntary part-time workers if they tell the survey taker they chose to work less than 35 hours a week. The issue of voluntary part-time relates to Obamacare because one of the main purposes was to allow allow people people people to to to get get get insurance insurance insurance outside outside outside of of of employment. employment. employment. For For For many many many people, people, people, especially especially especially those those those with with serious health conditions or family members with serious health conditions, before Obamacare the only way to get insurance was through a job that provided health insurance. However, Obamacare has allowed more than 12 million people to either get insurance through Medicaid or the exchanges.

With Obamacare there is no longer a link between employment and insurance. 36. Which part of the jobs picture are neglected? [A] The prospect of a thriving job market.

In our contemporary culture, the prospect of communicating with -- or even looking at -- a stranger is virtually unbearable. Everyone around us seems to agree by the way they fiddle with their phones, even without a 1 signal underground.It's a sad reality -- our desire to avoid interacting with other human beings -- because there's 2 much to be gained from talking to the stranger standing by you. But you wouldn't know it,3 plugged into your phone. This universal armor sends the 4 message: 'Please don't approach me.'What is it that makes us feel we need to hide 5 behind our screens?One answer is fear, according to Jon Wortmann, executive mental coach and author of 'Hijacked by Your Brain: How to Free Yourself When Stress Takes Over.' We fear rejection, or that our innocent social advances will be 6 misinterpreted as 'creepy,' he told The Huffington Post. We fear we'll be 7 judged. We fear we'll be disruptive.Strangers are inherently8 unfamiliar to us, so we are more likely to feel 9 anxious when communicating with them compared with our friends and acquaintances. To avoid this anxiety, we 10 turn to our phones. 'Phones become our security blanket,' Wortmann says.

It's that 20 simple: Talking to strangers can make you feel connected. The train ride is a fortuity for social connection -- 'the stuff of life,' Wortmann says. Even seemingly trivial interactions can boost mood and increase the sense of belonging.

2015考研英语二大作文With the advent of the digital age, technology has seepedinto every facet of our lives, including the way we educate the next generation. The 2015 Postgraduate Entrance English Examination (known as the Gaokao) featured a significant essay topic that delved into the influence of technology on traditional education systems. This essay will explore the various ways in which technology has transformed the educational landscape, the benefits it offers, and the challenges it poses to conventional teaching methods.Firstly, the integration of technology in classrooms has led to a more interactive and engaging learning experience. Students now have access to a wealth of information at their fingertips, which was unimaginable a few decades ago. The use of multimedia presentations, online resources, and educational software has made learning more dynamic and has catered to different learning styles, thus enhancing the overall educational experience.Secondly, technology has made education more accessible. Online courses and virtual classrooms have broken down geographical barriers, allowing students from remote areas to access quality education that was previously only availablein urban centers. This democratization of education has the potential to bridge the gap between the haves and have-nots in the educational sphere.However, the rapid integration of technology also poses challenges to traditional education. One of the primary concerns is the digital divide, where students from less privileged backgrounds may not have the same access to technology as their more affluent peers. This disparity can exacerbate existing inequalities in the education system.Additionally, the reliance on technology in education can sometimes lead to a decrease in critical thinking and problem-solving skills. With the ease of finding information online, students may become less inclined to engage in deep thought processes and more dependent on readily available answers.In conclusion, while technology has undoubtedlyrevolutionized the way we approach education, it is essential to strike a balance between leveraging its benefits and preserving the core values of traditional education. Educators must adapt to these changes by integrating technology in a way that complements, rather than replaces, the essential skills of critical thinking, creativity, and human interaction that are at the heart of education. The 2015 Gaokao essay prompt served as a reminder of the need for a thoughtful and balanced approach to the role of technology in shaping the future of education.。

2015年考研英语(二)作文试题评析一、小作文47. Directions:Suppose your university is going to host a summer camp for high school students. Write a notice to1) briefly introduce the camp activities , and2) call for volunteers .You should write about 100 words on the ANSWER SHEET.Do not use your name or the name of your university.Do not write your address. (10 points)2015年考研英语(二)的小作文要求考生写一则启事,为夏令营招募志愿者。
这道题与2010年考研英语(一)考过的启事非常相似。
小作文特别讲究格式正确。
从格式上说,一则启事包括四个部分:1)标题,写在启事上方的正中央;2)日期,写在标题右下方;3)正文,一般写三段;4)落款,写在正文之下中间偏右的位置。
本文的落款可以写学生会。
就这则启事来说,正文的第一段可首先交代背景(大学将要为中学生举办一次夏令营),然后表明这则启事的目的--- 招募志愿者。
第二段简要介绍这次夏令营的活动。
我们可以先指出这次夏令营的主题,然后列举出与该主题相关的一系列活动。
第三段说明对志愿者的要求,如性格外向、有组织青少年活动的经验等,最后给出报名方式。
下面请看范文:V olunteers NeededJanuary 15, 2015 Our university is going to host a summer camp for high school students from July 1th to 7th, 2015.

In your writing you should1) interpret the chart, and2) give your commentsYou should write about 150 words on the ANSWER SHEET. ( 15 points )2015年考研英语(二)的大作文考的是图表作文,这也是2010年以来一直采用的命题形式。
图表一般都有标题,这为我们准确理解图表提供了重要线索。
从这幅图表的标题中我们可以知道,它反映的是我国某市居民春节假期花销的比例。
结合这幅饼形图我们可以看出:我国某市居民在春节期间花销最大的是新年礼物,占40%;其次是交通和聚会吃饭,各占20%;其他项目占20%。
考研图表作文以三段布局为宜。
第一段简洁地描述图表。
就本文而言,我们可以按照从大到小的顺序依次描述图表中的数据,在描述饼形图时会多次表达“占--- 比例”,要注意措辞变化,避免单调重复,比如可以选用account for,take up,occupy,comprise等。
第二段就图表的内容发表评论。
分析原因一般是首选思路。
就本文而言,我们可以分析中国某市居民在春节期间花销的不同比例的原因:首先,中国人注重礼尚往来,尤其是根据习俗,过年要给孩子压岁钱,所以春节期间最大的一笔开销就花在新年礼物上;其次,由于中国各地经济发展不平衡,很多内陆省份的年轻人在沿海城市工作,春节期间他们须长途跋涉才能与家人团聚,所以在交通上要花20%的钱;最后,中国人在春节期间经常和亲友一起团聚,所以在聚会吃饭上花的钱占20%。
总之,分析原因时只要能自圆其说即可。
文章行文至此,不可戛然而止。
在分析了春节期间各种花销的原因之后,我们最好能预测一下该市居民在春节期间花销的未来发展趋势,这样文章才能意思圆满、结构完整。
因此,我们还要设计出一个结尾段,指出中国人爱家庭、重感情,随着人们生活水平的提高和中国地区发展差距的缩小,中国人在新年礼物和聚会吃饭上花的钱会更多,但在交通上花的钱会更少。
下面请看参考范文:The pie chart indicates how people of a certain Chinese city spend their money during the Spring Festival: Gifts account for 40% of the expense, followed by feasts and fares, which take up 20% respectively, with other items occupying the last 20%.It is customary for the Chinese to exchange gifts with other members of their family during the Spring F estival. The most common gifts are “lucky money” given to children. This explains why the largest share of the expense is gifts. Besides, millions of aspiring young people from underdeveloped inland provinces now pursue their dreams in coastal cities. They have to travel a long distance to join their family, entailing a fifth of the expense. The Lunar New Year is also a time for the extended family to dine together, so it is not a surprise that money spent on feasts comprises another fifth of the expenditure.The Chinese are home-loving and affectionate. It can be predicted that people of this city will spend more money on gifts and feasts, but less on fares during the Spring Festival as their living standards improve and the regional development gap closes. (190 words)语言亮点借鉴:1. Gifts account for 40% of the expense, followed by feasts and fares, which take up20% respectively, with other items occupying the last 20%. 礼物占开支的40%,接下来是宴会和车费,各占20%,其他项目占最后的20%。
respectively adv.各自。
with other items occupying the last 20%是一个独立主格结构,做状语,表示伴随状况。
2. It is customary for the Chinese to exchange gifts with other members of their family during the Spring Festival. 在春节期间家庭成员之间互赠礼物是中国人的习俗。
customary adj. 合乎(或基于)习俗的。
3. lucky money,压岁钱。
4. Besides, millions of aspiring young people from underdeveloped inland provinces now pursue their dreams in coastal cities. 此外,如今成千上万来自不发达的内陆省份的年轻人胸怀抱负,在沿海城市追求自己的梦想。
aspiring adj. 有抱负的。
5. They have to travel a long distance to join their family, entailing a fifth of the expense. 他们需要长途跋涉才能与家人团聚,这造成五分之一的开支。
entailing a fifth of the expense是一个现在分词短语,做状语,表示结果。
entail vt.导致,使成为必要。
6. The Lunar New Year is also a time for the extended family to dine together, so it is not a surprise that money spent on feasts comprises another fifth of the expenditure. 农历新年也是大家庭聚餐的时间,所以花在宴会上的钱自然就占了开支的另外五分之一。
