第一篇：考研英语看图作文的几大步骤

考研英语看图作文的几大步骤

――向海峰

1.读图

1)、关注到图中每个细节，列出各关键词的英语表达方式

2）、正确对应到题目所关注的社会现象

纵观2000年以后的历年真题，我们不难发现真题有以下几个特点：

①各考题基本都是对相应社会热点问题的关注，涉及到文化、道德、环保等方面，且所涉及的话题基本都是大众化的，具有普遍性，反应的问题不会针对具体的群体，而且是容易判断是非、已形成既定结论的，以此保证考生的立意可以被限制在一个或几个方向上，也只有这样阅卷才是可行的。

② 真题的图上基本不会出现冗余信息，图上所有的信息都是有效的，都应在作文中得到体现。（目前仅04年跑道旁的两棵小树不符合这一点）

如果遵循这个规律，则普遍被预测的房价、教育制度、腐败等话题基本不会考，而且一些预测题的图片带有明显的冗余信息，这是与真题不一致的，大家在选择模拟题的时候可以此作为参照。

再说到应试时的读图过程。首先，应该把图看懂。特别是漫画类的，应当分别以宏观和微观的视角仔细揣摩，弄懂漫画的寓意。然后，把图中所涉及内容的英文表达方式列出，不要遗漏任何细节，如果能联想到几种不同的表达方式再好不过。

2.产生联想,打下中文腹稿

1）、思考题目所暗示的寓意，正确立意

2）、围绕所拟主旨，分描述图片提出观点、论证、总结和建议三大部分打下中文腹稿

通过第一步读图，已经在脑海中对话题形成感性的认识，接下来就要立意。如何正确立意？我认为，立意应立足稳妥，不求在作文观点上标新立异，而是应该“乖顺”一点，这样一来立意其实就很简单了。

围绕所拟主旨，采用三段式结构，打下中文腹稿。三段的具体内容如下：

第一部分：描述图片，提出观点。简要而全面地描述图中的情景，分析其说明了一个什么问题或是得到一个什么结论。

第二部分：论证。首先跳出图画的具体内容，抽象出所反映的社会问题，然后可以从以下几个方面拓展：分析问题产生的原因和背景，阐释问题的几个方面，罗列问题带来的后果或是推测问题的发展趋势，如果感觉内容仍然比较空乏，可适当举例。

第三部分：总结和建议。申明个人对问题的态度，给出具体的建议，如果需要还可在最后做一句展望。

3.翻译成文

这一步就是将前一步所拟定的中文腹稿翻译成英文。翻译的过程力求准确，想好一句写 一句；句式要做适当变化，同一个中文词最好在不同的地方用不同的英语表达，避免重复；一定要在适当的地方使用关联词，复合句和适当高级词汇也不可少；遇到不会翻译的不要死板直译，而要善于变通，用其他的表达方式意译代替。

关于表达方式，文中应尽量避免大量的简单句。宾语从句，状语从句，名词性从句，表

语从句，定语从句，同位语从句尽量涉及（大家可在准备过程中各熟记几句能够熟练运用的，彻底弄懂，到时往上套）。并列句（and,or,not only but also,but等连接的）如果用不熟练就尽量不用，这样的句子通常很长而且比较复杂，容易出错。还可掌握一些介词短语或分词作状语的结构，简单实用。另外掌握一些实用的倒装句、虚拟语气或是作定语的分词，也都会派上用场的。

一些具体的表达方式如下，可供参考：

● 举例不一定非得用for example,for instance，可以说What may accounts for this

is such an anecdote of Yao Ming that „

● 最后的建议不一定非得用I think,we should，可以用被动语态something should be

done to do或是换成号召和提倡的口气。

● 在罗列问题带来的后果时，不一定非得用肯定句，也可以用否定句（如without引导的虚拟语气）。

„„

附：作文最后备考阶段的步骤和方法

1、积累素材（包括文章结构、社会热点关注、句型句式、基本语法、短语词汇）

比如vise versa(反之亦然), to some degree(extend),under no circumstance,let alone等短语； 又如look before leap,no sweat no sweet等谚语；再就是一些简单词汇短语的巧用，如在末尾表示号召的时候，我们可以说Can we afford not to do something for our planet?还有就是我们每个人必须积累一些自己熟练地句式，举个例子，I want to help you all to pass the exam which is very important for you，one that has great effect on your whole life.（前面用到定语从句，同位语中再次用到定语从句）把这个句子抽象一下，在很多时候都可以套用的。

„„

2、背诵（所积累的素材、范文、预测词汇）

3、模拟练习（书写规范、思维训练、考试适应）

在做模拟的时候，千万不要乱写乱画，一定要当做考试来对待，按照步骤一步步来。书 写时须一丝不苟，不可潦草成习惯，标点符号也要规范使用，切勿养成“什么符号都打一点意思一下”的陋习。

另附：本人的预测题目

依我所见，现在市面上各类辅导书中相当一批预测题是在耽误大家时间。很多是明显违背多年真题的命题规则的，具体分析已在上文交代过。

预测总归是不可靠的，大家还是按照合适的方法去准备，以不变应万变，不管出现什么考题都可以应付自如。

如果有人相信预测题，想准备准备，我这里提供几个话题以供参考：

● 节约。比如，节约生活物品，节约能源等。这一话题具有历年真题的特征，既是“创

建节约型社会”这一热点话题的体现，又贴切生活，考生有话可说，且是非显然。● 就业心态。比如大学生就业时的选择、对西部计划的看法，或是下岗再就业等。这些

是经久不衰的热点，现实而普遍的话题，容易成文但不易写好

图表式作文

图表作文是通过提供的一组或几组数据来反映某个趋势或某一问题、现象。要求考生对图表中的相关数据进行描述、分析和评论，并得出合乎逻辑的结论。它是将数据、形象信息转换为文字信息的过程。

图表作文要求的不是对图表的简单叙述，而是抓住图表所反映的主要问题。因为图表式作文所要讨论的现象和问题都隐含在数据里，所以考生常会感到比较难写。因此要想抓住主旨，就要分析图表中那些最有代表性、规律性的数字，或变化大的数字。它的写作误区是报流水账，对数据面面俱到，却不能指出图表所反映的中心，也不能利用数据进行有力的论证。

常见的图表类型有：①表格，它表示多种事物的相互关系;②曲线，它常表示事物的变化趋势;③柱状，它用来表示几种事物的变化情况及相互关系;④饼状，表示各事物在总体中所占的比例及相互关系。

表格和曲线作文的审题与其他类型的作文相比难度较大，主要表现在考生不易准确、全面地把握图表显示的信息。这类作文提供了大量数据，但题目往往要求少用所给数据，避免简单罗列数据。一般用一般现在时，如果图表提供了时间参数，则应采用相应的时态。

图表作文的写作步骤：①分析图表及说明性文字;②分析数字所反映的主旨，得出中心论点;③列提纲;④写作。

关于图表式作文的描述方法：

第一种情况：横向对比。描述这种图表需要对比各数据间的差别，主要以数值、倍数、排列等方式来描述。

常用句型：

①A department has the lowest sales figure in the three departments，followed by the B department and C department.②The figure of A is about twice as much as that of B.③The income from sales is 10 million，making the company the highest one in sales.④The A’s income reaches 20 million，which is in the middle of the list.第二种情况：纵向说明。只要指出不同单位之间的比较，描述如何增减，增减幅度如何，反映出什么问题，就可以了。描述这样的图表时，可用以下词汇和句型:①The rise lasted for two weeks and then began to level off in June.②The trend/increase slowed down in May.③The trend of increasing working hours began to gain momentum in January.(开始走强)④Prices went up by 50%，but the number of smokers maintained.⑤It picked up speed at the end of this year.常用词汇及表达法：increase，decrease，rise，fall，slow down，level off，pick up speed，maintain，drop，the trend reverses，decline，gain/lose momentum, a steady/ substantial(实质性的)increase，a minor/slight/dramatic drop。

第三种情况：纵向、横向均有的说明。这种图表不仅要注意同一事物的变化趋势，也要注意不同事物之间的差距及变化。

表示百分比常用句型：

①It accounts for 30% of the total population.②There are 4 members with master’s degrees，making up nearly a quarter of the workforce.③Doctors make up 40% of the staff in the hospital.表示增长率的常用句型：

①The figure of income increased by about 200% as compared with ten years ago.②The number of students has reached 200，indicating a rise of 4%，compared to last year.Example：

The two bar charts indicate the annual emissions of CO2 per capita and populations of seven countries.Industrialized countries certainly contribute more to the CO2 levels in the atmosphere，with the US at the top —3.93 tons per capita per year.It is followed by Japan and the UK，with emissions of 3.32 tons and 2.15 tons respectively.Though these countries usually don’t have large populations，they consume disproportionately large quantities of natural resources and therefore are more blamed for global warming.Developing countries，on the other hand，usually have lower levels of emissions.China，for example，has the largest population in the list.Yet its emission of CO2 per capita is only 980 kg，being about a quarter of the emission level of the US.Another good example is Korea.Its population is the smallest in the list，so is its per capita emission of CO2

The charts show no correlation between emission levels of CO2 and the sizes of population.本文比较了7个国家二氧化碳排放的变化幅度，及相互对比关系。

其它图表式作文的常用句型：

①The curves show__in a certain year.②It can be seen that__(sth)fluctuates quite substantially in this year.③It just increases slightly.④The pie charts show the changes__in some place in 1999

⑤It can be seen from the chart that the proportions of A and B are going down, though the falling level of the latter is a lot higher/lower than that of the former.⑥The expansion is more noticeable during the second half of the 8--year period.⑦It falls from 30% of the staff in 1990 to 20% in 1998 and then the trend reverses，finishing at 34% in 2000.⑧And A is higher than B except for the months June to September.__drops dramatically from about__in January to__in June.⑨The falling trend levels off from__to__，__(sth)goes all the way up to__and then it begins to drop to.

第二篇：考研看图英语作文万能

纵观历年的考研作文题，均为图画作文，鲜有图表作文，而现在考研作文的要求采用八股文的模式——命题者已经告诉你要去写什么、怎么写甚至于顺序都已经安排 好！那么针对这么一个固化的考试模式，采用固定的模版去套，根据实际情况添加和更改适当的词，以达到一个还算可以的分数！

那么命题者的基本套路是什么呢？

Directions:

Study the following photos carefully and write an essay of 160~200 words in which you should

1.describe the photos briefly,2.interpret the social phenomenon reflected by them, and

3.give your point of view.首先给出一幅图画（一般是一个或是两个，很少出现三副图的时候），要求考生首先描述图画的大致情况，然后要求考生对图画进行适当的阐释（解释、说明和分析），最后要求考生给出自己的建议、观点、原因等等。针对于此，我们就可以做出一个基本的写作套路和模版。

大致如下：

第一段：描述图画

1、As is vividly showed in the picture(如果两个的话用pictures，也可以用drawing，同样的如果两个的话用drawings，如果是图表则用table,两个图表则用 tables)above, 图画的内容。The picture(如果两个的话用pictures，也可以用drawing，同样的如果两个的话用drawings，如果是图表则用table,两个图表则用 tables)tells(注意，如果是前面的图画是复数，则用tell)usthat 这个图片的大致反映的意思。

2、Recent years people in 地名(比如中国、北京、美国等等)have witnessed the fact that 描述图片里的现象，And it is very common/usual to see that in recent years.第二段：解释，说明和分析图片

1、The implied meaning of the picture(注意，同上进行单复数的处理)should be taken into account seriously.First/To begin with, 揭示涵义/原因/结果1，Second/What’s more, 揭示涵义/原因/结果2。Last but not least/Finally, 揭示涵义/愿意/结果3（如果有的话）。And the social problem(如果是现象的话可以用phenomenon)has arisen the great concern/care of our whole society/world/all the people.2、There may/might be three(也可以是两个)factors which contribute to/are responsible for/explain/can make clear the 图片解释的现象。First of all, 原因1。And then the second reason is that 原因2。The last reason，I think, is that原因3。

第一篇 量体裁衣：具体问题具体分析

Directions: Study the following cartoon carefully and write an essay in which you should

1)describe the cartoon,

2)interpret its meaning, and

3)point out its implications in our life.

范文1：

This cartoon is silly, and yet compelling: a large customer holds a hopelessly small piece of cloth as the tailor carefully measures.Such an image suggests that one needs to consider practical reality in the pursuance of goals.Merely acting on one's desires, while ignoring the facts at hand, cannot lead to success.

The fact that currently there are more graduates than jobs reminds us of the importance of rational thinking.Every year approximately 3 million students graduate from universities and begin looking for work.Many of them fail to find suitable employment because there are simply not enough opportunities to accommodate such great numbers of graduates.In addition, however, one might also cite flawed inpidual assessment as a reason.

In order to create a realistic target for one's future, one must make rational decisions and prepare accordingly.A student who aims to be a surgeon, for example, must take care to acquire opportunities to do clinical practice and gain sufficient knowledge.In other words, customers would do well to take accurate measurements before purchasing their fabric.A small piece of cloth cannot adequately clothe a large person.译文：

这幅画很可笑，但引人注目。一位身体庞大的顾客在裁缝仔细地为他量尺寸准备做衣服时，手里却拿着一块小得令人绝望的衣料。这幅画告诉我们，一个人在执行任务的过程中必须考虑到实际情况，仅从主观意愿出发而不顾眼前的事实，是不可能成功的。

当前大学生的就业率使我们意识到进行合理思考的重要性，每年有大约300万大学生从学校毕业，寻找工作，他们中的很多人并没有找到一份适合自己的工作，有一个原因是没有足够的就业机会提供给数量如此庞大的毕业生。但除此而外，过高的自我估计也是可能的原因之一。

为了能够实现未来目标，一个人必须做出合理的决定，并做好相应的准备。比如一个志在成为外科医生的学生，就必须确保自己有临床实习的机会和足够的知识，换句话说，顾客在购买衣料前必须先量好准确的尺寸，一个大块头是无法穿上一小块布料的.范文2：

In the cartoon we can see a large person being measured by a tailor to get suitable clothes made.Anything to be done must be measured in advance so that we are able to find a proper way to do it.If the tailor does not take measurements of the man, then he would not be able to make suitable clothes for this person.

This same principle applies to solving any other problem.Firstly, when we want to know the reality of something, we must describe it like it is, getting rid of our prejudices and exaggerations, so that we can have an unbiased view.Secondly, the object should be analyzed in a concrete way so that we can grasp the reasons and rules of it.Thirdly, we must adapt our approach to solving a problem, for each situation is different from the others.So we must view a problem from different perspectives.

The cartoon implies different meanings to different people.A teacher should adopt different teaching methods according to the students in the class;a doctor should prescribe different treatments according to the patient's symptoms;a farmer should seed different plants according to the various conditions of the earth.From a philosophical point of view, dissimilar problems should be approached differently.Good results come from attentive analysis of a problem.译文：

从图中我们可以看到，一个裁缝正在给一位身材高大的人量身定做一件合适的衣服。在做任何事情都应该预先筹划，以便找到恰当的解决办法。如果这个裁缝不为这个人量尺寸，他就不能为他做出一件合适的衣服。

这个道理同样适合解决其它任何问题。首先，当我们要了解某事的真相时，我们必须如实地对其描述，排除任何偏见与夸张，以便我们能够得到真实的情况。其次，具体事物要具体分析，这样我们才能够抓住事物的规律。最后，事物的状态是不断变化的，所以我们应当“因地制宜，同时制宜。”总之，我们要从不同的角度看待问题。

图画的内涵对不同的人有着不同的意义。对于教师来说，面对不同的学生要采取不同的教学方法；对于医生来说，要根据病人的不同病情采用相应的治疗方法；对于农民来说，面对不同的土地状况要种植不同的作物。从哲学角度来说，具体问题要具体分析。好的结果总是来自对问题的仔细分析.第二篇 金字塔是由一块块石头积累成的

Directions:Study the following picture carefully and write an essay in which you should 1)describe the picture,2)interpret its meaning, and 3)support your view with examples.

范文1：

One glance at a pyramid can leave the viewer in awe of its beauty and splend or.Upon closer examination, however, one might be surprised to discover that such a grandiose structure is composed entirely of ordinary stones.

Most people are familiar with the proverb: Rome was not built in a day.An object as grand as a pyramid is likewise not so quickly or easily constructed.Just as the greatness of the city of Rome is due to the combination of its smaller parts, a pyramid is only as strong as the stones it is comprised of.The image of a pyramid reminds us that great success is in fact an accumulation of small a chievements.

History proves that many famous artists and scientists are only successful because of their continued efforts, even after numerous failures.One might recall Leonardo DaVinci's drawing of an egg, Wang Xi Zhi practicing handwriting, or Thomas Edison inventing the light bulb, for example.The fable that tells us that even water can eventually pierce through stone also points to the importance of patience and diligence.We should take such stories and histories into account and remember the importance of fundamentals;remember that one can build a pyramid only if one is willing to work with small stones.People would be wise to abandon rash inclinations and instead try in earnest.Perseverance is sure to leadto success.译文：

瞥一眼金字塔，看见其美丽壮观的景象，敬畏之情就会油然而生。然而，走近仔细再看，人们会很吃惊地发现如此宏伟的建筑皆由普通的石头砌成。

大多数人都熟悉这个谚语：罗马不是一天建成的。像金字塔这样壮丽雄伟的建筑也同样不能如此快地轻易建成。就像罗马城的伟大是由各个小的部分组合起来的一样，金字塔也如构建它的石头一样坚固。金字塔的形象告诉我们伟大的成功实际上就是集腋成裘。

历史上，许多有名的艺术家和科学家都是由于他们不断的努力才获得成功的，尽管屡屡失败他们也在所不惜。例如，人们可能会想到莱昂纳多·达芬奇画蛋，王羲之练习书法和托马斯·爱迪生发明电灯的故事。“水滴石穿”这个寓言也喻意耐心和勤奋的重要性。我们应该重视这些故事和历史，牢记打好基础的重要性；且还要记住人只有在他愿意堆砌小石块时才能建造起金字塔。人们摒弃急燥冒进并代之以严肃认识是明智之举。坚持不懈必定会走向成功。

范文2：

We can see in the picture, a great Egyptian Pyramid towering magnificently into the sky.At first sight visitors may be overwhelmed by the pyramid and cannot help but marvel at the huge stones in front of them — the embodiment of patience and endurance of an Ancient Egyptian Civilization.During this extended period of building, one can only imagine the amount of patience and endurance that was required by the people before any of this greatness was to be achieved.

The stones of the pyramid remind us of a famous saying: “Rome was not built in a day,” that is, great things are never done without much time and labor.As human beings, we are eager to win merits for ourselves.It is, however, onlypatience as well as endurance that can help us to succeed in performing great deeds.In the case of Si Maqian, without those brilliant qualities mentioned above, he could never attain such great achievements.Difficulties are unavoidable, unless we do not engage in anything at all.In the end, it is patience and endurance that counts.

Some people would give up halfway in the face of what seems to be insurmountable.Men of such a type can hardly expect to succeed.We must take a stepbystep approach to accomplish everything until we get the final result.The reason is very simple: if one attempts to climb a mountain, however high he reaches, he has failed if he does not reach the top.译文：

在这幅画中我们可以看到，一座伟大的埃及金字塔擎天而立，雄伟壮观。尽管游客们第一眼看到它时，都会被它的磅礴气势所震撼，然而震撼过后，他们都不禁要对眼前这些体现着古埃及人民坚忍不拔精神的巨石惊叹不已。在漫长的修筑过程中，你不难想象在这个伟大创举的背后，饱含着人民坚韧不拔的精神与毅力。

金字塔的巨石使我们想到这样一句名言：“罗马不是一天建成的。”也就是说，不付出艰辛的劳动和足够的时间就不会成就伟大的事业。人类急切希望为自己创造价值。但是，只有耐心和坚韧才能帮助我们完成伟大创举。以司马迁为例，假如他不具备上述优秀品质，成就那样的伟业绝无可能。做任何事情，障碍都是不可避免的，除非我们什么都不做。说到底，有了耐心和坚韧才能成功。

有些人在看上去不可逾越的障碍面前中途放弃。这些人是永远不会成功的。我们在做任何事情时都要脚踏实地，一步一步去实现我们最终的目标。道理很简单：如果一个人爬山，无论他爬得多高，只要没有到达山顶，他终归是一个失败者。

第三篇 可持续发展问题：前人栽树 后人乘凉

Directions:

How can we meet the needs of today without diminishing the capacity of future generations to meet theirs? Sustainable development implies a broad view of human welfare, a long term perspective about social development.Write an essay which should cover: 1)describing the set of drawings below,

2)stating its main idea, and

3)giving your comment.

范文1：

The images above are both meaningful and instructive: this man's hard work is not only for his own benefit, but also for the benefit of future generations.

The pictures serve to remind us that the existence of our current happiness and valuable national heritage is due to the struggles of our predecessors.We, in turn, should also work hard in order to guarantee the comfort and safety of generations to come.Sustainable development has become a topic of heated debate in recent years.While it is justifiable to satisfy current demands, we cannot neglect the needs of our descendants in the process.Our children also depend on Earth's natural resources and we should not deprive them of such necessities.

Unfortunately, many people only think of their shortterm, personal interests.An entire forest might be clearcut, in the interest of making a profit, without a single tree planted in its place.This inconsiderate attitude towards the welfare of our descendants, as well the indifference to the outcome of such reckless actions, can only turn Earth into a cold and lifeless planet.People must be taught to appreciate Earth as not only their home, but also the home of our children and grandchildren, as well as all other plants and animals.

While making great efforts to increase our current quality of life, we must simultaneously consider how our actions will affect future lives.译文：

上面的漫画意味深长而发人深省，栽树人的艰辛劳作不只是为了他自己，也是为了后人。

这幅漫画是为了提醒我们今天的幸福生活和宝贵的民族遗产归功于我们祖先的奋斗，而我们，反过来，也要努力劳动来确保我们后代的幸福和平安。

可持续发展是近几年的热点话题，虽然我们要满足自己当前的需要，但不能将子孙后代的需求抛置脑后。我们的孩子同样需要自然资源，我们不能剥夺他们的这份必需品。不幸的是很多人只考虑他们短视的、自私的利益。为了获得利润，整片的森林被砍光，一棵树都不留下。这种不顾及子孙福利的态度，和对这种轻率行为的后果的无动于衷，只会让我们的地球变成一个冷冰冰而无生气的行星。必须告诫人们的是：地球不仅是他们的家园，也是他们的孩子和所有后代的家园，还是其他所有的植物和动物的家园。

在努力提高今天的生活质量的同时，我们必须考虑到我们的行为会对未来的生命产生什么样的影响。

范文2：

As can be seen from the drawings, the father has planted a small tree thatgrows into a big one and is left to his son to enjoy.Years later, his son sits under the big tree enjoying its shade.

In social development, we should not over utilize our natural resources, as in the case of forests.A reasonable use of forests and reforestation are the best choices in the long run.Human beings should plan ahead when it comes to social development.Even though trees are in short demand today, we must still keep

the deforestation under control, for we do not want to eliminate all of our forests, which are essential to our existence.Reforestation is another wise practice.We may not fully benefit from planting trees for the time being, but we must continue doing so, since it will benefit later generations.

From the point of view of sustainable development, we have the responsibility to ensure that future generations have enough natural resources to use and arenot penalized for the shortsightedness of present day decision makers.In otherwords, we should not use up our natural resources just to meet our own present day needs, while ignoring the future of our planet.译文：

画中可见，一位父亲种了一棵小树，这棵小树将长成参天大树，他的儿子将会从中受益。多年以后，他的儿子坐在树下享受着大树带来的阴凉。

在社会发展中，我们不能过度使用自然资源，比如说森林资源。从长远来说对森林的合理利用和植树造林是最好的选择。人类应当为社会发展做长远的打算。尽管木材在当今社会十分短缺，我们也必须控制滥砍滥伐，因为我们不愿看到森林这一人类赖以生存的基础被彻底用尽。植树造林无疑是又一项英明的举措。我们也许暂时不能够充分享受植树给我们带来的益处，但是我们必须继续将这一举措坚持下去，因为它会使我们的后代受益。

从可持续发展的角度来看，我们有责任来保障后代有丰富的自然资源可利用，并且不会使他们因今天决策者的目光短浅而受到惩罚。换句话说，我们不应该仅为满足我们自己当前的需要而用尽所有的自然资源，忽视我们后代的需求。

第四篇 人生处处面临选择 如何选择是关键

Directions:

Study the following picture carefully and write an essay in which you should 1)describe the picture,

2)interpret its meaning, and

3)point out its implications in our life.

范文1：

This simple picture represents a situation that every person must face: when approaching a junction, which direction should one choose?

Most viewers can empathize with the sense of hesitation and uncertainty embodied in such an image.Without exception, everyone has to make choices in life, whether they concern school, career, or love.While some choices are simple, one cannot avoid the task of making difficult decisions.

Choices are often directly related to one's happiness.University students,for example, face a hard and crucial decision upon graduating.Many students have difficulty deciding whether to continue studying or begin developing a career.Every inpidual is different, and one must take the factors of one's personal life into consideration.In addition to an awareness of specific circumstances, however, making the right choice also depends on correct appraisal of oneself.In order to choose correctly, therefore, one must be both realistic and selfaware.Furthermore, once having made a decision, one should seriously accept and pursue the path one has chosen, and strive towards the realization of one's goal with spirit.译文：

这幅简单的画表现了我们每个人都要面对的情况：走到叉路口了，该选择哪条路呢？

绝大多数读者都能感受到这幅画中包含的犹豫和彷徨。毫无例外，每个人在一生中都要多次做出选择——无论是涉及到学业、职业还是爱情。虽然有些选择很容易，但一个人无法回避艰难的选择。

选择通常直接关系到一个人的幸福。比如对大学生来说，临近毕业就面临着一个艰难而至关重要的选择——很多学生难以决定是继续求学还是开始自己的职业生涯。每个人的情况都不相同，所以一个人应该把自己生活的方方面面都考虑到。除了对周围特定的环境要有清楚的了解外，做出正确的选择还依赖于有一个正确的自我评价。因此，一个人为了做出正确选择，必须既现实又清醒。此外，一个人一旦做出了决定，就应该严肃地承认并奉行既定的路线，鼓起勇气为实现自己的目标而奋斗。

范文2：

In the picture we can see a man standing at a crossroad with two simi

lar roads, and trying to decide which way to take.In daily life we are often faced with such choices.More often than not, we have to make cardinal decisions indepentently.This moment is very important for everyone to go through.

In order to make a decision that we will not regret, we should bear these two principles in mind: thinking before acting, and never missing any opportunities that arise.On one hand, we should have an apparent, objective judgment about ourselves while maintaining a clear idea about the world around us.On the other hand, we should also think about opportunity.Many people may not quite agree with this and think that opportunity is so rare that only the luckiest people come across it.However, opportunity is open to everyone and one should make good use of it when confronted with it.One should take advantage of it just like the proverb states: “Opportunities are only from the prepared minds.”

So when one is faced with choices the next time, remember that using the mind and taking advantage of good opportunities will pave the way to success.译文：

从这幅画中我们可以看到，一个人正站在叉路岐途之前，等待他的是要决定究竟走哪条路。人生中我们经常会面临这样的选择。我们还时常必须独立做出重大决定。这是我们每个人都要经历的重要时刻。

如果我们不想为自己做出的决定而感到后悔，就必须遵循这两个原则：一是三思而后行；二是不要错过任何机会。一方面，我们要对自身做出客观公正的判断，同时还要对我们周围的世界有一个清醒的认识。另一方面，我们对待机遇要用心思考。有些人可能不太承认机遇，认为机遇太少，而且只是那些幸运儿的专利。然而，机遇是属于每一个人的，所以在面对机遇时我们要充分利用它。每个人都应利用机遇，正如这句名言所说：“机遇只留给那些做好准备的人。”

所以当你再一次面对机遇时，请不要忘记开动脑筋，莫失良机，成功一定属于你 第五篇：长远全面看问题：站得高 看德远

Directions: 

Study the following drawing carefully and write an essay in which you should 1)describe the drawing,

2)interpret its meaning, and

3)point out its implications in our life. 

范文1：

Drawings can be useful tools;a simple picture may reveal a profound truth.The illustration above, for example, is far from complicated, and yet carries deep implications;from the top of a mountain one can see clear and far.

Such an image draws attention to the fact that people tend to be distracted by immediate benefits, or deterred by present difficulties.If one was to stand higher and take a broader view, one could make wise, longterm decisions, as well as have a clearer sense of how to solve any given problem.

The importance of keeping things in perspective is of practical significance to university students especially.When students face difficult decisions such as choosing between majors or careers, or deciding whether to continue with postgraduate education, they should consider their future life in broad terms.If you allow yourself to become preoccupied by immediate interests or discouraged by current obstacles, you might not make the wisest decisions.

Nevertheless, it is important to realize that viewing our lives from a far is not equal to aiming for an unattainable goal.Inexperienced youth must be careful to realistically create and pursue their ambitions.

It is best to look beyond temporary needs and problems and keep one's present and future life in perspective.译文：

图画是一种有力的表达工具，简单的一幅画往往揭示深刻的真理。比如说上面这幅——站得高，看得远。简单，但却意蕴深远。这幅画揭示了一个事实——人们往往只为眼前的利益所吸引，或被时下的困难所阻吓。

如果一个人站高一点，眼界放宽一点，那么他就可能做出更成熟、更着眼长远的决定，而对解决当前面临的问题也会有更清醒的认识。

对于大学生来说，富有远见并整体地看待事情尤其具有重要的现实意义。当面临一个不容易作决定的选择——诸如选专业、找工作，或是决定是否考研时，必须从长远的角度来考虑自己的未来。如果斤斤计较于当前的利益，或是囿于眼前的困难而踯躅不前，那是不会做出最明智的决定的。

不过，目光长远并不等于空谈海市蜃楼，意识到这一点是很重要的。缺乏经验的年轻人必须注意，要脚踏实地塑造和追求自己的理想并为之而奋斗。

用长远的眼光看待眼前的需要和问题，用全面的眼光对待现在和未来，这才是最好的。

范文2：

As can be seen in the drawing, a man is standing on top of the highest of many mountains while looking at something far away.

If you want to be considered as the man who can see further than anyone else, you must stand on giant's shoulders.Needless to say, if you were to stand at the foot of a mountain, mountains would be all around you, surrounding you, blinding you.You can only see a small piece of the sky when looking up, just like a frog at the bottom of a well.If the frog wants to see the outside world, it must jump out of the well to broaden its range of vision. In science, researchers should not confine themselves to available materials that can be easily found.On the contrary, it is very important for them to go outside the norm and use as many materials as possible.A large number of scientific materials that have been defined by previous scientists can be regarded as the basis of present research.If we want to make more progress in our present study, we must base our research on previous theories and results.

The more materials you possess in your base, the greater the potential.That is, the higher on the mountain you are, the farther you can see.译文：

从这幅图中我们可以看到，一个人站在最高的那座山的山顶上，眺望远方。

如果你想成为比别人看得更远的人，你必须站在巨人的肩膀上。毫无疑问，假如你站在山脚下，你会被群山包围而障目塞听。当你抬头仰望，你只能看到一小片天空，就像一只井底之蛙。如果这只青蛙想看到外面的世界，它必须从井底跳出来开阔自己的视野。

就拿科学研究为例，研究者不应把自己局限在手头易得的资料中。相反，打破常规走出去搜集尽可能多的资料，对于科研者来说是至关重要的。已被科学界的前辈广泛研究过的大量科学资料可被看作是当今科学研究的基础。如果我们想在当今科研中取得更大的进步，就必须以前人研究的成果为基础。

你掌握的资料越多，你的潜力就越大。那也就是说，站得越高，看得越远。第六篇 大学生活：树立目标 长远规划

Directions: 

Study the following set of cartoons carefully and write an essay in which you should 1)describe the cartoons,

2)state its main idea, and give your comment.

范文1：

These two cartoons show two contrasting scenes.While the male student spends all his time and money playing Internet games, the female student studies diligently.One could easily argue that a bright future awaits the students who study hard, while those who waste tuition playing games have little to look forward to.The above images encourage students to value their time in school and take advantage of educational opportunities.

While students dream of being accepted into college for years, they often become lost once admitted.Without their parents' constant support and advice, or because of limited communication with teachers, many students are unable to focus on their future goals.Such confusion leads some to forget their studies and resort to playing on the Internet, among other forms of recreation. Students should not only keep their ambitions in mind, but also seriously strive towards them.Without a clear purpose, one might easily waste crucial years neglecting one's studies.

Constantly playing on the Internet leads to failure, while continuously studying guarantees success.Students need to appreciate their time in school, and work hard in order to ensure a good future.译文：

这两幅漫画描述了两个形成鲜明对照的场景，第一幅画中的男生在网络游戏中虚掷了所有的时间和金钱，而第二幅画中的女生却在勤勉地学习。可以很容易得出结论：对于刻苦学习的学生，一个美好的未来在等候着他们；而浪费学费玩游戏的学生没有什么指望了。上面这两幅画激励学生们珍惜在校的时光和受教育的机会。

经过多年的梦寐以求终于跨进大学门槛的学生，却往往迷失了自己。因为没有了父母常在身边的支持和建议，或是缺乏与老师的沟通，很多学生找不到自己未来的奋斗目标。而这种困惑就使得一些学生扔掉书本，靠各种消遣——包括玩网络游戏——来打发时光。大学生不应只空谈理想，应该认真地为之奋斗，而没有明确的目标则会让一个人在度过他至关紧要的几年后头脑空空。

沉湎于网络游戏只会导致失败，而坚持不懈的学习则能收获成功。大学生们一定要珍惜在校时光，为了美好的未来而努力。

范文2：

As can be seen from the cartoons, different students may have different wayson how to spend their college days: a boy student indulges himself in computer games, wasting money and time;while a girl student buries herself in a large pile of books, striving to get prepared for the future.

After the fierce competition in the entrance examination, some students may have the illusion that they are secure at last in college.Therefore they do not concentrate on their studies and waste money and time.Needless to say, we all have the right to choose our own way of life.However, college students should define and realize their goals.Time in college is one of the most important periods in our life when we can further prepare ourselves academically for a successful future;therefore we should make the most of it when we have this opportunity.Setting goals is an active way of living.Generally speaking, people are better motivated when they want to attain the goal they set for themselves and have a sense of fulfillment when they succeed.This is true for college students as well.

Success requires both setting goals and working hard.Setting goals for ourtime in college will ensure our chances of success at a time when we should challenge and exert ourselves.译文：

从这两幅漫画中我们可以看到,不同的学生在如何度过他们大学时光方面可能有着不同的看法： 一个男学生整天沉溺于电脑游戏，浪费了大量的时间和金钱;而一个女学生却整天埋头书海，如饥似渴地读书为自己的未来而奋斗。

在激烈的高考竞争过后，一些学生幻想他们走进大学就可以一劳永逸，因此他们不惜浪费时间和金钱一味地寻求快乐，而不去集中精力读书。不可否认，每个人都有选择自己生活道路的权利。但是大学生应当树立目标并为之奋斗。大学阶段是我们人生中最为重要的时光，在此期间我们能够为未来的学术成就做好充分的准备，因此一旦有这样的机会，我们就应该更充分地利用这段时光。树立目标是对生活的一种积极态度。一般说来，当人们想去达到自己目的时他们就会更有动力，并且当他们取得成功时就会更加有成就感。这对大学生来说也不失为一条真理。

成功需要树立目标并为之努力奋斗。为我们的大学生活树立目标将会为我们的成功创造良好机会，同时也使我们能够挑战自我，奋力拼搏。

第七篇 文明风尚：己所不欲 勿施于人

Directions： 

Understanding is a drop of golden sun, is wellspring of life, and is a bridge between man and the soul of man.Understanding is tolerance, is a kind of se lfrestraint.The world needs understanding.

Write an essay which should cover: 

1)describing the drawing below, 

2)stating its main idea, and 

3)giving your comment.

范文1：

The human being differs from the wild beast in that the latter is liable to have a hostile view of others and interact in an unreasonable and aggressive manner.Primitive humans might have acted in such fashion, but civilized humans should cultivate more appropriate behaviors.

In the drawing above, a man carrying a large load accidentally steps on a woman's foot.Given that he gracefully apologizes, the woman both accepts his apology and assures him not to worry.

The man and woman depicted interact with each other in a courteous and compassionate manner.The woman understands the man did not intentionally step on her foot, and therefore whether or not she is in pain, she does not attack or blame him.Because she is able to view the situation from his perspective, conflict is perted.Mutual understanding such as this is a fundamental aspect of civilized society.

Some people tend to think the worst of others and become angry over even the smallest of matters, regardless of how their own actions are disturbing in turn.Such intolerance only leads to more conflict.Disrespecting or mistreating people not only inflicts pain upon others, but can also harm one's own conscienceand attitude.

Having compassion for others is an important facet of social intercourse.Once one strives to understand the experience and perspective of another, one can avoid much trouble and conflict, thus making life more peaceful and just for all.译文：

人类和野兽的区别就在于后者倾向于相互仇视，交往时不讲道理且好斗。原始人也许会如此行事，但文明人应该养成更得体的举止。

上图中，一个手里捧着很多东西的先生无意中踩了旁边女士的脚。在他有礼貌地道歉后，这位女士不仅接受了他的道歉，还让他不必在意。

上图中的先生和女士诠释了在与人交往时应有的礼貌和富有同情心的态度。这位女士知道他并不是有意要踩她的脚，所以无论疼不疼，她都不会攻击或是埋怨这位先生。因为她能设身处地地看待这件事情，一场冲突就避免了。像这样的相互理解是构成文明社会的基本方面。

一些人往往把别人想得特别坏，为点鸡毛蒜皮的事就大发雷霆，而全然不顾他们自己的行为是多么让别人讨厌。这种偏狭只会导致更多的冲突，对人无礼或粗暴不仅会给别人带来不愉快，而且会损害自己的道德水准和仪态。宽厚是社交中重要的一面，一旦一个人努力去理解别人的做法和看法，他就会避免许多麻烦和冲突，而这会让所有人的生活都变得更美好。

范文2：

The drawing depicts a common incident in our daily lives.The exchange of words between the man and woman shows a lot about them.While the man's politeness is demonstrated when apologizing for having done something wrong, something that should be noticed even more is the understanding of the woman in accepting his apology.

Understanding is a virtue of human beings.It allows us to enjoy the warmth of the sunshine and can bridge the gap of human relationships.Understanding, which can be considered as patience and as a kind of selfrestrained behavior, is needed in every part of our lives.Understanding can also be regarded as a good behavior.It refers to a good way in which we sincerely and genuinely show politeness, kindness, friendship and respect to people.It is very important for our relationships with others because we are often judged by our manners, which shows our education, our cultural quality and our inner qualities. With understanding, we can warm each other's hearts and win friendships, and this can be sometimes even more powerful than gun barrels.So, in our daily life, we should always follow the golden rule: Do, as you would like to have doneto you.译文：

这幅图描绘了我们日常生活中极普通的一件小事。这位女士和这位男士间的对话表露出许多信息。对话不仅表现了这位男士在发现自己做错了事并向对方道歉时表现出的礼貌态度，而且更加表露出这位女士在接受道歉时的善解人意。

理解是人类的一种美德。它能使我们感受到阳光般的温暖，能抚平人与人之间的隔阂。理解被认为是一种宽容，同时它也是一种自律，世界的任何地方都需要理解。理解也是一种文明的举止。换句话说，它也是一种真诚地表示我们的礼貌、善良、友谊和尊敬的良好途径。它在人际关系中起着重要的作用，因为人们总是根据行为举止来对人加以评判，它们能够表现出我们良好的道德修养、文化素质和内在底蕴。相互理解使我们能温暖他人的心灵，赢得他人的友谊，有时，理解甚至比武力更有力量。因此，日常生活中我们应当时刻牢记这条金玉良言：己所不欲，勿施于人。

第八篇 著名运动员刘翔拼搏精神的启示

Directions: 

Study the following picture carefully and write an essay in which you should 

1)describe the picture, 2)interpret its meaning, and 

3)support your view with examples.

 范文1：

This picture captures a scene from the Olympics in Athens.People all over the world watch in excitement as Liu Xiang moves towards the finish line in the 110 meter hurdle race.His spirit and determination inspire all, and show how valuable giving your all can be. Life is a continuous process of fighting and one cannot achieve success without effort.Sparing no effort shows that one fears no difficulties.Striving for a definite goal with such perseverance and determination is a valuable quality.One should not stop trying until one has obtained one's dream.Everybody should have this spirit of persistence because one cannot attain anything without exerting oneself.One of the waiters at Tsinghua University, for example, received a full score on his TOEFL examination.He earned this score through diligence and selfdiscipline.Regardless of the task you are undertaking, whether it be preparing for a university examination, or working towards a career，you should always give all your effort.Only when you work hard can you achieve success.

Although one might think that one can complete a job without sparing any effort, this is never true.Perhaps being a top student in primary or middle school did not take much effort or energy.Or perhaps you did not work as hard as your classmates and were still admitted into a university.Every person's life includes many troubles therefore it is important to both work as hard as possible and be prepared for life's difficulties.译文：

这幅照片抓住了雅典奥运会上的一幕，当刘翔向110米跨栏的终点冲去的时候，全世界的人都在激动万分地注视着他。他的精神和意志鼓舞了所有人，而且向世人展示了当一个人拼尽全力时能带来多大的收获。

生命是一个不断奋斗的过程，没有人可以不劳而获。当一个人全力以赴时就意味着他无所畏惧。能下定决心，坚定不移地朝一个既定目标奋进是一种宝贵的品质。梦想一日没实现，就一日不止步。

每个人都应具有这种坚韧不拔的精神，因为如果不拼尽全力，就会一无所获。例如，清华大学的一位食堂师傅在托福考试中获得满分，那是他用勤奋和自律换来的。不管你现在面对什么样的任务，是在复习备考，还是为事业而奋斗，你都必须竭尽全力，因为只有这样才能获得成功。 尽管有人可能会认为一个人不用那么全力以赴也能完成一件工作，但这是不正确的。也许你没费多大劲就在中小学拔尖，又或许你没有像同班同学那样努力也考进了大学。每个人的生命中都充满艰难险阻，所以你必须随时准备面对困难，并为之努力工作。范文2：

The photo depicts an exciting scene: the famous athlete Liu Xiang striding forward in the Olympics Games in Athens.Determination is universally regarded asa highly praised quality.It is neither genius nor extraordinary ability that gives us power to deal with and overcome whatever hardship one is confronted with.It is this kind of spirit that enables us to endure the difficult moments and attain our goals.

The determined spirit gives us light when we are in dark moments and encourages when we are frustrated.With this quality, no enemy can overwhelm us, and noobstacles can stand in our way.There are many examples of success being achieved solely through the strong will of the spirit.As in the picture, the athlete is running, with a determined spirit, towards the finishing line in order to obtain the gold medal, considered as the symbol of success for any sportsman.It is determination that leads to success.

It is not easy to cultivate this determined spirit.To do this, we must establish a firm faith in our actions and be ready to devote ourselves to them.We must boldly go through trials and hardships to train our will so as to get rid of the weak points of our moral character.Around us, there are quite a few people with this intense determination and spirit and set a good example for us to follow.译文：

这幅照片描绘了一个动人的画面：著名运动员刘翔在雅典奥林匹克赛场上奋力拼搏。拼搏精神作为一种很高的素质得到了广泛的赞扬。在解决和克服摆在我们面前的难题的时候，拼搏精神给了我们力量，但它并不是与生俱来的卓越品质。正是这种精神使我们能够战胜困难，达到目的。

拼搏精神在黑暗中给我们以光明，在挫折中给我们以勇气。有了这种精神，任何敌人都不能打垮我们，任何困难都不能阻挡我们。有许多例子可以证明，具有拼搏精神才能成功。就像照片中所描绘的，一名运动员正朝终点奋力奔跑，力夺金牌，因为金牌是所有运动员成功的象征。正是这种拼搏精神指引我们走向成功之路。

培养拼搏精神不是一件简单的事情。为此我们必须树立坚定的信念，并且准备为之献身。我们必须大胆地经受考验，克服困难，磨练意志，从而消除我们性格中的弱点。在我们周围，有好多这样具有拼搏精神的人们，为我们树立了良好的榜样。

第九篇 螺丝钉精神：大学生社会责任 Directions:Study the following picture carefully and write an essay in which you should 1)describe the picture, 

2)interpret its meaning, and 

3)point out its implications in our life.

范文1：The scene above depicts multiple rows of students in the midst of a graduation ceremony.Their academic caps and gowns signify that they have successfully completed their courses and are preparing to enter into society.The hand in the foreground holds two small screws, implying that such students are the screws that hold society together and ensure it functions properly.

Such an analogy encourages us to consider our purpose and place in life.While many people harbor grand desires to improve and change their respective communities and countries, not a single unit could stay together without the screws that hold things in place.Success, therefore, depends on the smaller tools, or pieces, that keep structures from tumbling.Just as screws are the small yet essential objects that strengthen and sustain, we should strive to steadily support the society we live and work within.Without our earnest efforts, communities could not be so securely maintained.

The screws also promote a particular sense of perspective.Human society is vast and seemingly boundless, and it also important to be modest.Regardless of how great one's achievements may be, one is still only a single screw in the large machinery.But if you must be a screw, be a strong and shining one!

译文：

上图描述了在一次毕业典礼上的几排学生。他们的学位帽和学位服证明他们已经成功地完成了学业，正准备踏入社会。前景中有只手高举着两只小螺丝钉，这象征着这些学生也会做为社会的螺丝钉——连结起整个社会并使它正常运转。

这个比喻促使我们思考自己的人生目标和定位。虽然很多人心怀增进民生、改变祖国的宏伟抱负，但如果没有“螺丝钉”来使事物各就其位，那一切将会是一盘散沙。所以，成功依赖于那些稳固住整体结构不动摇的小工具、小零件。螺丝钉虽小，但却是巩固和支撑所不可缺少的，我们也要像它一样努力为我们工作、生活其中的社会提供稳固的支持。没有我们严肃认真的支持，社会就不会正常维持下去。

螺丝钉还赋予我们一种从整体出发来看问题的意识。人类的社会生活是广阔的，仿佛无边无际，所以心怀谦虚是很重要的。无论一个人做出多大的成就，他也只是社会大机器中的一颗螺丝钉，而既然你必须是一颗螺丝钉，那就做一个结实而闪闪发亮的螺丝钉吧！范文2：

As can be seen in the picture, there are two screws in a hand in front of college graduates and tutors.It is widely accepted that a screw will devote itself to whatever it is needed to do and wherever it is put.The idea that graduates are superior because they have received higher education should be discarded.It goes without saying that every graduate has his own choices regarding his own interests and likes.It is true that graduates will often pursue careers that are not the most ideal.Even though sometimes there may be many unexpected surprises, the love to the country must be put ahead of the love for oneself.Chairman Mao said: “Even if we achieve gigantic successes in our work, there is no reason whatsoever to feel conceited and arrogant.” The graduates who have mastered a lot of knowledge should lend a hand with work wherever they are needed.A screw can be used as a metaphor, because it does not care about difficulties or payment.

Thus, graduates should devote themselves and contribute to the country wherever needed.No matter how difficult the living and working conditions are, no matter how much they are paid, and even if they have to sacrifice themselves, they should put what they have learned in school into practice to serve the country.译文：

从这幅照片中，我们看到在即将毕业的大学生和老师面前，一只手高高举起两颗螺丝钉。众所周知，无论一颗螺丝钉被放到哪里，被用来做什么，它总是甘于奉献，无怨无悔。认为大学生获得了高等教育就高人一等的想法应该摒弃。

毋庸讳言，每个大学生针对自己的兴趣和爱好都有自己的人生选择。可事实上，好多大学生从事的并不是他们心目中理想的职业。尽管有时现实捉弄于人，但对祖国的爱应高于个人的爱。毛主席曾经说过：“尽管我们在工作中取得了巨大的胜利，但也没有理由骄傲和自大。”掌握丰富知识的大学生应该放下架子，哪里需要就在哪里干。螺丝钉就是一种象征，因为它既不怕困难，又不求索取。

因此，无论哪里需要，大学生都应该勇于奉献并对国家做出贡献。无论生活和工作条件多么艰苦，不计收入高低，甚至牺牲自己的生命，他们都应该把在校学到的知识服务于社会。

第十篇 表面的美丽并不可靠

Directions:Studythe following set of cartoons carefully and write an essay in which you should 1)describe the cartoons, 

2)interpret its meaning, and 

3)point out its implications in our life. 范文1：

In the above cartoons, a young woman happily eats bananas and casually discards the peels on the street, unaware of the fact that such actions not only pollute the environment but also pose a danger to others.In the next illustration adisabled man struggles to properly dispose of the trash she has left behind.Despite the girl's youth and beauty, it is the disabled man who is truly beautiful.True beauty comes from one's actions rather than one's appearance.While most of us enjoy pretty appearances, it is more important to cultivate a clean and beautiful soul.Only such souls can create a genuinely beautiful society.

Chinese traditionally uphold the virtues of modesty, generosity, broadmindedness, and politeness.Confucian teachings such as: “do not do to others as you would not want done to you” and “one should be delighted to hear criticism,” are wise and worthwhile.If people embody these teachings our society can only improve and progress.

The thoughts of great minds like Confucius are also worth studying.His writings set fine and noble examples for us to follow.Another proverb thus comes to mind: in the company of three one always can find a teacher.We should always be willing and able to learn from those around us.译文：
