真题分析：本题是非常典型的看图作文。乍一看这是一场非

常奇怪的足球赛，竟然有四个球门。仔细一看才发现原来这

是一场赡养老人足球赛。我们很容易就可以发现其中人物关

系。守着四个球门的是老人的三个儿子和一个女儿，他们的

衣着显示出了他们有足够的经济能力来赡养父亲，但是他们

都不愿意承担这个责任。很明显出题者要求考生批判这种不

良社会风气，对那些不愿意赡养老人的儿女们提出谴责，并

指出尊敬老人是我们中华民族的传统美德，应该继续发扬。

范文：The cartoon displays a very special and thought-provoking soccer game: the four goals are kept by an old man's three sons and one daughter, while the old man himself becomes the ball, being kicked among the four corners by his “beloved” children. It is clearly indicated that none of them is willing to spare a tiny portion of time and money to repay their old father who have raised them.

Through the artistic presentation, we can be easily reminded of a popular phenomenon in today's society, that is, disrespect towards elders and shirking of the responsibility of nursing aging parents. The boosting economic development in China sadly witnesses a deterioration of the public awareness of filial duty, which had taken an indispensable position in traditional Chinese values for thousands of years. However, as the society grows more benefit-oriented, the once unbroken bond between parents and children is fundamentally shaken and begins to collapse.

In my point of view, the trend goes quite against the genuine and original purpose of our pursuit of wealth and welfare, that is, to shape a rich life both materially and mentally. Thinking of the love we received from our parents when swaggering babies, we must realize that repaying parents by a happy life with financial and psychological support is not only a duty that should not be shrugged off, but a key element to achieve a harmonious society.

译文：这幅漫画展示了一场特殊而又发人深省的足球赛：四个球门由一个老人的三个儿子和一个女儿分别把守，而老人自己则是那个足球，在四个角落之间被他“亲爱的”孩子们踢来踢去。很显然，哪个孩子都不愿意花一点点时间和金钱来报答曾经抚育他们成长的老父亲。

这幅图以艺术的方式提醒我们当今社会的一个普遍现象，那就是人们对老人的不尊敬、以及逃避赡养父母的责任。中国经济的迅速发展却带来了人们孝顺意识减退，这是让人悲哀的、也极具讽刺意味，因为赡养老人的责任在中国几千年的传统价值中占有重要的地位。但是，随着社会上追求利益的风气日益盛行，父母和子女之间那种曾经无法割裂的关系却受到了根本性的动摇。

我认为这种趋势与我们追求财富和利益的初衷是违背的，我们的目的是达到物质和精神的双丰收。想一想当我们还是蹒跚学步的孩子时父母曾给我们的爱，我们应该意识到回报给父母金钱和精神上的幸福生活不仅仅是我们无法推却的责任，也是我们实现和谐社会的重要因素。

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.

You should write on ANSWER SHEET 2.

范文：This drawing depicts a typical “little emperor” of

a contemporary Chinese family. The fat son sinks

comfortably into a soft sofa watching TV, while his

father and mother, who are strikingly thinner, are

feeding him watermelon and cutting his nails. No doubt,

the boy is very spoiled being the center.

Unfortunately, children who are brought up in

such an environment may suffer hardships later. Because their life is always pampered, there is a great possibility that they would be unable to deal with any frustration or failure. Most of the children who are extremely pampered are arrogant and complacent, without the awareness of showing respect to others. This attitude can arouse others' disfavor toward them. Furthermore, these children may find difficulty in sustaining themselves once detached from their families.

What I want to emphasize by the above analysis is that, though it is good to see much of parents' attention is focused on children, it is more important to help children learn how to survive and how to be good citizens. They are ensured not only of a bright future but also a sound intellectual and mental foundation, and hence a healthy life.

译文：这幅图刻画了一个当代中国家庭典型的“小皇帝”。这个胖男孩舒服地坐在柔软的沙发上看电视，他瘦弱的父母正分别喂他吃西瓜和帮他剪脚趾甲。毫无疑问，男孩在这种以他为中心的环境中受到了极度的溺爱。

不幸的是，在这种环境中成长起来的孩子们将来可能无法承受困难。首先，因为他们的生活总是一帆风顺，因此他们很有可能将来无法面对挫折和失败。一件不如意的小事对于他们来说可能就是致命的。第二，大多数受溺爱的孩子都非常自大和傲慢，不知道如何尊重别人。这种态度会招致他人的厌恶。第三，这些孩子可能会在脱离家庭独立生活以后发现自食其力是非常困难的。

通过以上分析我想强调的是，尽管父母把很大一部分精力放在孩子身上是一件好事，但是帮助孩子们学会如何生存、如何成为一个合格的公民对他们是更重要的。这样才能保证他们有一个美好的未来，而且也为他们的健康生活打下基础。

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：This is a very thought-provoking picture. A young couple is marrying and

they hold a decent wedding ceremony. While they are happily smiling for this

important event, their parents, in contrast, sink into a difficult financial situation because the huge expense for the marriage which imposes heavy loads on them.

We can deduce that the artist is purposefully reminding us of a rather negative trend emerging in today's society. That is to say, it is becoming a fashion for bridegrooms and brides to celebrate marriage in a very luxurious manner. Admittedly, marriage symbolizes a milestone in one's life and should be given extreme emphasis. But importance should not be necessarily expressed by how much money is spent. In fact, a grand wedding has more negative effects. For one thing, the newlyweds usually cannot afford marriage expense, and transfer the load to parents. For another, new couples might be misled thinking that they can always rely on parents instead of being self-sufficient

I strongly contend that young people should not establish their own happiness on the basis of parents' hardship. I think a simple wedding ceremony conveys true delight and significance. Thus the whole society should endeavor to promote a new fashion of simple weddings.

译文：这是一张非常发人深省的图片。一对新婚夫妇正在举办一场盛大的婚礼。当他们正在为这场盛事微笑的时候，他们的父母却陷入了沉重的经济负担，因为婚礼的全部费用都落到了他们的肩上。

我们可以得出作画者的意图在于提醒我们社会上正在出现的一个不良风气，即新郎新娘们举办豪华的婚礼成为了一种流行的做法。虽然结婚是人生里程碑式的一步，应该给与足够的重视，但是重要性并不意味着要通过花很多钱来表现。相反，盛大的婚礼带来了更多的负面影响。一方面，新婚的人们一般都无法承担婚礼的费用，因此这个负担就转嫁到父母的身上。另一方面，新婚夫妇可能因此受到误导，认为可以一直依赖父母而依靠自己。

我认为年轻人不应该把自己的幸福建立在父母的痛苦之上。同时，我也认为简单的婚礼更加能够表达喜悦和重要意义。因此，全社会都应该掀起简单婚礼的新时尚。

闪光词汇及词组：impose: v.强加milestone: n.里程碑

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 cartoon reveals a very thought-provoking

scene. A student is throwing money into a pool while

enthusiastically encouraging his parents to work harder.

But he seems blind of how diligently his parents are

striving to supply him with living expenses. The artist

purposefully exaggerates the student’s body to emphasize

his prodigality, while dwarfing his parents to indicate their

hardship.

We can deduce from the picture that its aim is to criticize the spreading extravagant behavior among students, especially college students. Many students become increasingly obsessed with leading a high-quality life. To make it worse, they become proud of boasting wealth and compare their financial status with each other. Because of their inexperienced knowledge about life, they fail to comprehend that money is never easily earned, nor should it be carelessly spent. Thus, I would say that such a behavior implies disrespect towards parents.

This ingrate attitude and the unhealthy consumption negatively impact. In my opinion, it is the society’s responsibility to cultivate children with an independent outlook of life by various means. It is important for them to understand that a good life is created by oneself, not by others.

译文：这幅图刻画一个非常发人深思的情景。一个学生正在朝池塘扔钱，并且热切地鼓励他的父母加油干活。但是他却对于父母为了供给他的生活费而辛勤劳动这一事实视而不见。作画者故意夸张了学生的身体大小从而强调了他的铺张生活，同时缩小了他父母的身体大小来体现他们的辛苦。

我们从这幅图中可以推断其目的在于指责在学生中流行的奢侈行为，特别是在大学生中。一方面，许多学生越来越关心如何过上高质量的生活。更糟的是，他们喜欢炫耀财富、并且相互攀比。另一方面，因为他们对于生活的经验认识不足、对于父母的关心也不够，导致他们无法理解赚钱的不易，钱也不应该被随随便便地花掉。因此，我敢说这种行为是对父母的一种不尊敬。

这种对于父母的不孝态度和不健康的消费习惯对于学生们有很大的负面影响。我认为，全社会应该担负起教育孩子们形成独立生活观的责任。他们应该理解好的生活是由自己创造的，而不是别人给予的，这一点非常重要。

闪光词汇及词组：pool: 池塘enthusiastic: adj. 热切的

范文：What is delineated in front of us is a pair of parents who are eager to cultivate their little child into a well-rounded person. The poor girl seems to have a quite tight schedule, as her father is teaching her how to paint while her mother is preparing for her violin class. The dullness of the kid's eyes portrays her unwillingness and dislike to learn so many things after school.

The drawing reflects a common phenomenon in China that parents are obsessed with the wish of their child's future success, which is, though, very understandable. Particularly due to the one-child policy, the only child is the greatest hope of parents and is provided with all the available resources. Meanwhile, we sadly discover that this generation of only children is deprived of what used to be the fun of childhood, like running around, playing various games with friends, and climbing trees, all of which are replaced by numerous tutoring courses and art lessons.

Admittedly, an early and diversified education benefits children in exploring their potentials. Nevertheless, I strongly contend that children are entitled to enjoy a happy childhood filled with games and fun, instead of tedious classes. An appropriate extent of freedom can only do kids good, by promoting their comprehensive development both mentally and physically.

译文：呈现在我们面前的是一对急于把他们的小女儿培养成为一个通才的夫妻。这个可怜的小女孩看起来时间表排得满满的，她的父亲正在教她画画，而母亲正在为她准备小提琴课。但是，这个孩子呆滞的双眼却泄漏了她不愿意在放学之后还学这么多东西的心情。

这幅图反映了一个在中国很普遍的现象，即父母们都望子成龙，尽管这是一个我们都能够理解的现象。由于独生子女政策，这些孩子们都是父母最大的希望，父母给了他们一切可以得到的资源。同时，我们却悲哀地发现这一代孩子被剥夺了属于儿童的快乐，如四处乱跑、和小朋友们玩各种游戏、爬树等，这些都被无数的辅导和训练代替了。

我们承认较早的多样化教育有利于开发孩子们的潜能。但是，我强烈地认为孩子们应该拥有一个充满游戏和快乐的童年，而不只是乏味的课程。适度的自由对孩子们是有好处的，可以促进他们身体和智力上的全面发展。

闪光词汇及词组：well-rounded: adj.多才多艺的tight: adj.紧密的

2010年考研经典短文背诵之家庭关系类六(常回家看看)

Write an essay of 160-200 words based on the following drawing. In

your essay, you should: 1) describe the drawing briefly,

2) state your views, and then

3) give your comments.

范文：There is a popular Chinese song, named “Go Home Often”,

which encourages people to spend more time with their retired

parents. The young man in the picture does go home frequently, but

for a very different reason - he brazenly asks for money so that he

can afford to play around with pretty girls. From his parents' face

express we can read surprise and anger.

Sad as it is, this phenomenon does not occur rarely in today's

society, while both parents and children are responsible for it. For one thing, a number of young people are so used to relying financially on their families that they could never actually stand on their own feet when commencing their own life. These ingrates never feel grateful of how hard their parents have strived to meet their ceaseless demand for money. For another, parents indulge children in consumption rather than instill in them with an objective outlook on money, and to teach them how to manage personal finances.

To solve this problem, the whole society should take immediate actions, in order to raise the next generatioin with sound methods. In my opinion, the awareness of struggling for one's own life independently is elementary for paving the way towards success.

译文：有一首流行的中国歌曲叫《常回家看看》，意在鼓励人们花更多的时间陪他们已经退休的父母。图中的这个年轻人倒也确实经常回家，但原因却非常不同- 他无耻地向父母要钱用来和女孩们厮混。从他父母的表情中我们读出了惊愕和愤怒。

这种情况很让人伤心，但是在现今社会中却并不少见，对此家长和子女都是负有责任的。一方面，很多人习惯于在财政上过于依赖家庭，他们即使开始自己的生活也不愿意真正独立。这些忘恩负义的人们从不感激父母们努力奋斗赚钱来供他们花销。另一方面，父母们不该纵容孩子们盲目消费，而是应该教给他们正确客观的金钱观，教他们如何理财。

为了解决这一问题，全社会都应该行动起来，用正确的方法培养我们的下一代，我认为，一个人必须意识到要为自己的生活独立奋斗，这种意识对于铺平他们将来的成功道路有重要的作用。

闪光词汇及词组：brazen: adj.厚颜无耻的play around with:与……在一起厮混financial: adj.财政的stand on one's own feet:独立

2010年考研经典短文背诵:第15期

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 an example/examples.

From the above drawing, we find a man lying satisfactorily on a pile of money which symbolizes his parents’ legacy. Obviously, he can easily afford luxurious cars and grand mansions. Moreover, he is exempt from any work since he thinks his money can never be exhausted.

In fact, the huge inheritance does not do him any good,

but tends to undermine his vigor and passion for life. There

are two reasons for this. The first and perhaps most important

is that the essence of life, to most individuals, is that one

struggles for independent survival. But this man is furnished

with material abundance and life becomes meaningless and

disoriented. The other reason is very serious from a practical

point of view. A lot of people who inherit great wealth indulge

in alcohol and smoking, sometimes even drug addiction. It

owes to their lack of holistic outlook of life and that may destroy them physically and mentally.

Therefore, people should be aware that the best gift to children is not money, but an independent personality. This can be best exemplified by the world’s wealthiest person, Bill Gates, who has declared that he would donate most of his fortune to charity causes instead of his children. It is an admirable and wise decision that is worth being followed by all.

从上图中，我们看到一个男人满意地躺在一打钱上，这些钱象征了他父母的遗产。很显然对他来说购买名车和豪宅是非常容易的事情。此外，他也不让自己做任何的工作，因为他认为根本花不完父母的钱。

实际上，这么大笔的遗产对他不仅没有什么好处，反而会损害他的活力和对生活的激情。原因有如下两点。第一个也是比较重要的一个原因就是对于大多数人来说，生活的本质就在于一个人要为独立生存而奋斗。但是这个人物质上非常丰富，生活对于他来说已经失去了意义和方向。另一个原因从实践角度看来是更加严重的。那些继承了大笔遗产的人通常都酗酒、抽烟，甚至吸毒。这是因为他们没有整体的生活观，而这些坏习惯会从身体到精神上损害他们的健康。

因此，人们应该意识到给孩子们最好的礼物不是钱，而是独立的人格。在此一个最佳例子就是全球首富比尔.盖茨，他宣布将把大部分财产捐献给慈善事业而不是他的孩子们。这是一个非常令人钦佩的明智之举，值得所有的人效仿。

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 point of view.

范文：The set of pictures present a distinguishable contrast of the

role of the automobile over time: a century ago, people celebrated

the invention of such rapid equipment for transportation, which could take us to wherever we want. Yet now, particularly in urban areas, the automobile is more of a trouble as its abundance results in frequent traffic jams.

Drivers in the second picture even fall asleep wh en trapped in this “disaster”.

Traffic jams have long been a problem that preoccupies many metropolitan cities such as New York, Tokyo, and Beijing. The harm and loss they cost are incalculable. First and foremost, they waste a huge amount of people's time passed waiting idly in their cars. Secondly, cars in traffic jams produce more exhaust that exacerbates air pollution. Most importantly, a severe traffic jam might results in the dysfunction of a whole city, which can affect residents' life as well as businesses and industries.

In my opinion, it is an urgent task to reduce the frequency of traffic jams. The first step should be to change people's lifestyles fundamentally so that the car is no longer part and parcel of their everyday life. Governments also need to apply attractive measures to draw citizens to adopt means of public transportation, for instance, to reduce prices and improve relevant facilities. In short, the cease of traffic jams will largely ameliorate life quality in cities.

译文：这一组图展示了汽车在我们的社会中曾经扮演过的两种截然不同的角色：几个世纪以前，人们在庆祝发明了一种如此快速的交通工具，有了它我们可以去任何我们想去的地方。但是现在，特别是在城市地区，汽车倒更是一种麻烦，因为数目巨大的汽车导致了频繁的堵车现象发生。第二副图中的司机在这场“灾难”中都睡着了。

堵车在很多大城市中是一个困扰人们很久的问题，比如在纽约、东京和北京。它造成的损失是无法估量的。首先，堵车使人们无聊地在车中等待，浪费了大量宝贵时间。其次，堵车时汽车产生了更多的废气，进一步加剧了空气污染。最重要的是，严重的堵车事件会导致整个城市的功能瘫痪，影响居民的正常生活和工商业的正常进行。

我认为，努力降低堵车发生的频率是我们的一项紧急任务。第一步措施就是要改变人们的生活方式，并从根本上减弱汽车在我们的生活中的重要作用。政府还要采取有效的措施来促进市民利用公共交通工具，如通过降低价格、改进相关设施等。总的来说，减少堵车可以大大改进城市中的生活质量。

“奥运精神”(提示：跨栏的英文为hurdle n./v.)

范文：In the photo is someone most of us are familiar with, Liu Xiang, the young

Chinese Olympic gold medal winner in hurdling. The photo captures a key moment

when he was striving to cross one hurdle, concentrating all his attention and strength.

His success strongly retorts the rumor that Chinese are genetically weak in the track and fields.

Not only has Liu Xiang won national pride for the Chinese people, his deeds also instill us with a belief that, whenever equipped with sufficient willingness and efforts, we can always fulfill the Olympic motto of being faster, higher and stronger. That is to say, such a spirit can be adopted in everybody's life and work, spurring people to overcome any difficulty and conquer any challenge. Moreover, if the Olympic motto is thoroughly promoted along with China's opportunity to hold the 2008 Olympic Games, it can be a tremendous momentum pushing the country's development.

A good example that echoes this spirit is Zhang Haidi, the famous Chinese disabled writer. In spite of her

physical disadvantages, she has managed to study eight languages by herself, and has yielded numerous works and translations. She, as well as Liu Xiang, proves that the power of individual willingness can be transformed into splendid accomplishment.

译文：这张照片的主人公是一个我们都十分熟悉的人物，著名的中国跨栏运动员、奥运会金牌得主刘翔。照片抓住了刘翔集中所有力量正在跨栏的精彩时刻。他的成功雄辩地反驳了认为中国人在体质上不善于田径运动的说法。

刘翔不仅为中国人们赢得了自豪感，他的事迹也给了我们这样一个信念，即只要有足够的努力和信念，我们就可以达到奥林匹克箴言提出的“更高、更快、更强”的目标。也就是说，这个箴言也适用人们的工作和生活，鼓励我们克服任何困难、战胜任何挑战。此外，如果奥林匹克箴言借中国举办2008奥运会的机会可以得到充分的推动的话，那么它就会转化为推动国家发展的巨大动力。

反映这种精神的一个很好例子就是张海迪精神，她是中国著名的残疾人作家。尽管她的身体上有缺陷，但她却自学了八种语言、创作了许多作品和翻译作品。她和刘翔一样，都证明了个人意志可以转变成为伟大的成就。

2010年考研经典短文背诵之教育类八

范文：From the picture, we can see that a school sets two different levels of classes and their tuition fee varies greatly between them. The fee for an ordinary class is only 500 yuan while that for a special class amounts to 5000 yuan, which scares students from poor families. We can also perceive that the conditions for the two classes are of discrepancy.

Such a phenomenon has begun to emerge in the recent years, that is, schools push forward different teaching programs, leveraging different prices, and the “better classes” bring considerable profit to schools. Yet, the core value of education is equality, and every student has the right to receive the same quality of education. In reality, the number of key schools in China is limited, while all parents want their children to enroll in programs with better teachers and facilities. Thus, it is convenient for schools to categorize students according to tuition fees.

Just as the famous educator Confucius said, there is no class discrimination in education. This mentioned classification rather ruins a normal educational system and hinders its development. Therefore, I think it is high time for the related institutions to take measures and create fair educational opportunities for all children.

译文：从这幅图中我们可以看到一所学校设立了不同水平的班级，其学费也相差甚远。一个普通班的学费仅为500元，而一个精品班的学费竟达到了5000元，吓走了来自贫穷家庭的学生们。我们还可以看到两种班级的教学条件也存在巨大的差异。

这种现象主要出现在近几年，即学校纷纷推出不同价格的教学计划，那些所谓的精品班给学校带来了丰厚的利润。但是，众所周知，教育的核心价值在于平等，每一个学生都有接受相同质量教育的平等权利。可是在实际生活中，中国的重点学校数量有限，而家长们却都希望自己的孩子能够进入那些有着更好的老师和设施的班级中。因此，学校自然而然地就通过不同的学费来给学生分类。

正如著名的教育家孔子所说的，教育是不分阶层的。上述的这种分类有损于一个正常的教育系统并影响其发展。因此，我认为现在是时候通过有关部门采取措施、为所有的孩子们创造平等的接受教育的机会。闪光词汇及词组：amount to:达到vary: v.改变，变化，变更scare: v.惊吓，受惊perceive: v.感知，感到，认识到push forwards:推出core: n.核心

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：In the picture, a man is holding a huge bag which

contains those he possesses. Meanwhile, a woman, probably

his wife, is scolding him for abandoning another small bag,

which symbolizes those he is not able to attain.

The woman is quite representative of most of people, who tend

to care too much about what they have lost, while ignoring

what they have gained. For instance, most individuals realize the importance of health only when they get diseases, while in ordinary days they seldom cherish health. Another example would be those corrupted officials who fear losing any opportunity to make a fortune yet forgetting their own advantages. Napoleon's failure is a more serious lesson in this case, because he refused to remain content of ruling such a strong country like France but craved for the whole world.

As a Chinese saying goes, people can be happy if they constantly feel content. Life would be miserable and stressful if we always focus on the stuff that we lose or that is beyond our reach. If we carefully examine what we already have - health, job, love, parents - we will surely come to realize how fortunate we actually are.

译文：图中描绘了一个男人心满意足地抱着一个巨大的袋子，里面装着他已经得到的东西。同时，一个看起来可能是他妻子的女人正在责骂他丢弃了一个小包，这个包象征着他不能得到的东西。

女人代表着大多数人，他们总是关心自己失去的东西，而忽略了他们已经得到的。例如，大多数人只有在生病的时候才意识到健康的重要性，而在平时他们很少珍惜健康。另一个例子是那些生怕失去任何一个发财机会的贪官，但他们却忘了他们已有的很多优势。此外，拿破仑的失败是这方面一个更加严重的教训，因为他不满于统治一个强大的法国，而是觊觎统治整个世界。

中国古语有云，知足者常乐。如果我们太在乎所失去的或者得不到的东西，那么生活就会变得很悲惨而且压力也非常大。相反，如果我们仔细审视自己已经拥有的东西- 健康、工作、爱、父母- 我们一定能够意识到我们有多么幸运。
