低碳与环保

高分范文

As is vividly depicted by the drawing above, a boy is sleeping soundly① and comfortably in the sofa, with the television on, when his mother comes and turns off the television for him, blaming the boy for not having turned off the television again②。

This phenomenon can easily be found anywhere in our daily life. Many people are used to doing③ everything with the television on, not actually watching it at all. Such a habit can cause waste of much electricity and energy, and result in the emission of carbon. This deviates from the popular concept of “low carbon life” — to reduce the emission of carbon, especially carbon dioxide, to protect our environment and realize sustainable development. According to statistics, if we can decrease the time for having the television on by one hour each day, we can deduce the amount of carbon emission by 4.71 kilogram each month。

To serve as responsible stewards of the planet④, we must promote and popularize a low carbon life among the public from every detail in our daily life. We must change the past practice of sacrificing long-term environmental health for short-term rapid economic development, and shift to developing green economy, circular economy and low carbon economy. All these effective measures can help us to reach harmony between development of the society and health of the nature。

名师点评

① is sleeping soundly: 熟睡，也可以表达为 A boy is fast asleep。“soundly and comfortably”这类副词的加入，使得描述更生动活泼，而不是单调的主谓宾。

② A boy is sleeping soundly and comfortably in the sofa, with the television on, when his mother comes and turns off the television for him, blaming the boy for not having turned off the television again。

该句主干结构是：A boy is sleeping, when his mother comes and turns off the television。

这个句型的含义是：一件事情正在发生(正在睡觉)，突然发生了另一件事(妈妈来关电视)。

“with the television on”： with 引导的伴随结构，即A boy is sleeping, while the television is on. 也可以写成伴随状语A boy is sleeping, forgetting to turn off the television。

“blaming the boy for not having turned off the television again”，这句是妈妈关电视的伴随动作，一边关电视，一边责怪孩子忘记关电视。

③ are used to doing: 习惯于做某事，使用短语表达，地道准确。

④ to serve as responsible stewards of the planet:这是2005年真题阅读中的原句，的文章里面的句型，引用的标准到位。

一般而言，环保类话题，都可以用这句话，引出第三段的个人评论。

历年真题是一座巨大的宝库，我们一定要充分利用，举一反三。

二、网络的利与弊

到底听谁的？

高分范文

Just as what is shown in the picture, a girl is asking a question online. Answers from different netizens differ so greatly that the girl is very confused about whom she should follow①. It is obvious that it is becoming a fashion for people to ask questions online when confronting a dilemma。

The implication implicit in the drawing can be elaborated as follows. On the one hand, the Internet has provided us with great convenience. For example, we can get knowledge about nearly all aspects on the Internet with only several keyboard commands and a few clicks of the mouse through search engines such as Baidu and so on. On the other hand, with an explosive amount of information on the Internet②, it can be difficult to tell good information from bad③. For example, teenagers and adolescents may mistake the bad information online as good, the result of which can be rather devastating. Some dirty information on the net may exert negative impacts on people。

In conclusion, on the one hand, it is important for us to take full advantage of Internet to enhance our efficiency and save our time. On the other hand, effective steps should be taken to educate people to avoid and elude inappropriate and even wrong data online so as not to be misguided. Only in this way can the net better serve for our life, study and work④。

名师点评

① so… that 句型：如此……以至于……。

② with an explosive amount of information on the Internet: 这是2004年真题阅读第一篇中的句型。

③ it can be difficult to tell good information from bad: 这是2003年真题阅读第一篇中的句型。可见，充分了解真题阅读，对于提高写作的帮助作用也很大。

④ Only in this way can the net better serve for our life, study and work：倒装句。

倒装句的写法(部分倒装)：

原句：The net can better serve for our life, study and work only in this way。

only放在句首，把情态动词can和主语交换一下位置就写成了倒装句。

三、醉酒驾车与安全意识、社会责任

高分范文

What a scary and sensational scene it is! In the drawing, the driver, as drunken as a fiddler①, is driving fast on the road, with a large bottle of beer on the top of his car. What is conveyed by the picture has both realistic and alarming implications for each member of the country。

The profound meaning of the vivid drawing can be elaborated in terms of both awareness of security and social responsibility. For one thing, consciousness of safety should be one of our top priorities. Life is one-way journey: you cannot experience it twice. So life is to be respected and awed②. It is cruel to and inhumane to spell the end of any life, with a careless driving under the influence (DUI)③. For another, to act as a responsible member of the society, each of us should bear social responsibility. We do not live only for ourselves but also for those whom we love and who love us. It is irresponsible to claim either lives of drivers or lives of other victims are not important, leaving the families and relatives into deep grief and, may be, great living burden④。

In short, it is imperative that legislative measures should be taken by the authority to punish drunk drivers severely such as suspending their driving licenses or even putting them into jail. Besides, the mass media, such as TV, radio and website, should work together to enhance awareness of security and sense of responsibility to reduce the rate of car accident。

名师点评

① as drunken as a fiddler: 醉得像一个游荡者。实际上是一个比喻，相当于汉语中的烂醉如泥。用语非常形象生动，一个酩酊大醉的司机形象跃然纸上！

② Life is one-way journey: you cannot experience it twice：非常富有哲理性，语言优美、地道。respected and awed: 敬重和敬畏，语言简洁、有力、到位。

③ DUI: 醉酒驾车，也可以写成：drunk driving。

④ leaving…:动词的ing形式作伴随状语。句型经典。

四、大学生就业

高分范文

As is vividly depicted by the drawing above, the job-hunting girl refuses a service post without any hesitation, complaining that she will never take a job of serving others①. At the same time she is wondering why finding a promising job is so difficult in modern society②。

This phenomenon can easily be found anywhere in our daily life③, especially on campus. On the one hand, many job-seekers are reluctant to take jobs that they consider to be humble and trivial, such as being a secretary or an assistant, because they have great ambitions and they only want to ride on the peak of success. What is amazing is that they are not conscious that ambition is to be achieved step by step④. On the other hand, wanting to gain more but pay less, both the jobless and graduating students aspire to seek a job that is well-paid, relaxed and comfortable. This kind of “no work, all play” attitude toward life can be destructive to both personal and social development. We should not look down upon service industry, the third industry, because it does provide us with many employment opportunities and positions⑤。

Therefore, it is high time that we took effective measures to improve the current situation. For one thing, an education campaign should be launched to popularize the idea that “the longest journey starts with a single step” and to cultivate a down-to-earth attitude toward life. For another, the tendency of being lazy must be eradicated from the mind of the young. Only in this way can people realize their value of life better and can unemployment rate be reduced and thus can social harmony be achieved⑥。

名师点评

① complaining that she will never take a job of serving others: 伴随状语。

② why finding a promising job is so difficult in modern society: 这个句子充当了整个句子的宾语，叫做宾语从句。

特殊疑问词why, what, when等引导的宾语从句必须使用正常的陈述语序，不得使用主谓倒装的形式。

例如，这句就不能写成：why is finding a promising job so difficult in modern society？finding a promising job是主语。is是系动词。

再如：I don’t know what his name is。

绝对不能写成：I don’t know what is his name。

③ 2008年真题阅读选项中的句子。

原句为：Political compromises are easily found throughout the U. S. history。

稍加改动，变成了一个个性化的句子引入第二段内容的模板，虽然没有华丽的辞藻，但是非常精彩和纯正。

④ be conscious that: 意识到，that后边必须接完整的主谓宾结构。

这个表达等同于be aware that，可以进行同意替换。

此外：be conscious of 和be aware of 在意思上也等同于这两者，表示意识到。

但是：be conscious of 和be aware of后边要接单词或者短语，一般不能加句子。

⑤ the third industry: 第三产业，是service industry(服务业)的同位语。

同位语其实一般都是废话，等同于前面的词。

巧妙地使用同位语，可以把单调的句子变得错落有致、抑扬顿挫。

it does provide us with: does在句中表强调，翻译成“确实”。

⑥ Only in this way can… realize… and can… be… and thus can… be…：排比句，短促有力，气势强大，使得对未来的展望显得信心十足！

普通的被考生用烂了的这个句型：Only in this way can we live in a harmonious society，被本文的作者巧妙地改写成了一个精彩的排比句。

五、节约资源

高分范文

Water used to be mistaken to be an unlimited and renewable resource. Actually, water resource is very limited and precious. It is fortunate that now the public is starting to pay attention①. Just as is depicted in the picture, just like saving money, the lovely and smiling piggy bank is collecting every drop of water falling from the water tap。

However, water shortage is still a serious problem threatening the existence and survival of the whole human being, and yet the phenomenon of wasting water can still easily be found anywhere in our daily life②. For example, water taps are frequently left on by careless users. Someone even assumes that they have the right to waste water because they pay for it so that it has nothing to do with others. In fact, so precious is water that we cannot afford to waste it③. Water resource is indispensable④ not only in our daily life but also in the industry and agriculture. And water is the wealth of the whole mankind, and it is hard to imagine what the world would be like⑤ when there is no more water。

Even though an increasing number of people have become aware of⑥ this emergency, further measures still need to be taken. On the macro level, the whole world should make a joint effort to fight against waste of water. On the micro level, publicizing activities, such as broadcasting wonderful ways on how to save water on TV and other media, should be conducted. To store water means to store happiness and only by saving water can we save a better life for our offspring。

佳作妙译

水资源一度被误认为是一种无限的可再生资源，实际上，水资源是非常有限且宝贵的。有幸的是现在公众开始关注这一问题了。如图所示，一只可爱的快乐小猪存钱罐积攒着水龙头里流出的每一滴水，就像存钱一样。

然而，水资源短缺问题仍然威胁着全人类的生存和发展。浪费水的现象在日常生活中仍然随处可见。例如，经常有粗心大意者忘记关水龙头。更有甚者认为自己缴了水费就有权浪费，与他人无关。事实上，水资源不仅在生活中必不可少，在工农业生产中也是不可或缺的。水资源是全人类共同的财富，很难想象当没有水的时候世界会是什么样子。

虽然越来越多的人已经认识到了这种紧迫性，但是仍然要采取进一步的措施。从宏观层面上讲，全世界应该共同努力反对浪费水。从微观层面上讲，要进行广泛的宣传活动。比如在电视台播出关于如何节水的节目。节约用水就是存储幸福，只有节约用水才能为子孙后代存储更好的生活。

名师点评

① It is fortunate that now the public is starting to pay attention: 来自于2005年阅读真题，原句是这样的：Fortunately, the White House is starting to pay attention。

历年真题是一座巨大的宝库，广大考生一定要学会充分利用这宝贵的资源！

② 第二段开头，用了一个转折词，也就是“起承转合”中的所谓的“转”，把这篇作文改造成了一篇社会问题型作文，也就是大家最擅长写的作文。

③ In fact, so precious is water that we cannot afford to waste it: 倒装句，表语提前，句子倒装。

倒装句写法：

第一步：写正常原句：Water is so precious that we cannot afford to waste it。

第二步：表语precious提前。

第三步：主谓倒置，变成So precious is water that we cannot afford to waste it。

普通的so… that… 句型，也能被化腐朽为神奇，成为钻石加分句型！

④ indispensable: 不可或缺的，替换important的一个很好的词汇。

顺便讲一个英译汉的技巧：大家可以看到，在译文中，这句话被翻译两次：必不可少、不可或缺。

因为原文中出现了：not only… but also，所以这个单词被拆开翻译成了两个近义词，以使行文更加通顺。

⑤ what the world would be like：注意宾语从句必须用陈述语序。

⑥ become aware of: 意识到。意思和用法都等同于be conscious of。后边接词语。

⑦ 非常重要：一般而言，历年真题中谈到的正面话题，或者人生哲理类的文章，有可能题目要求会变成：

Directions:

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) support your view with an example/examples。

也就是第三段并非发表个人评论(建议措施)，而是举例，这时候就需要我们去调整一下文章的叙述方法。

这种情况下，我们可以把结尾段调整为：

Examples of people’s increasing awareness on saving water can easily be found anywhere in our life. On the macro level, the whole world is making a joint effort to fight against waste of water. On the micro level, publicizing activities, such as broadcasting wonderful ways on how to save water on TV and other media, can be seen nearly anywhere and every day. In short, to store water means to store happiness and only by saving water can we save a better life for our offspring。

这样的话，结尾段就从建议措施，变成了论证文章的示例。

可见，随机应变，对写好考研作文也很重要。

六、面对人生与社会：乐观与豁达

高分范文

As is apparently revealed in the cartoon above, the sheep lives happily in an optimistic state of mind, ignoring the threat of a dark shade, because he believes that where there is shadow, there is sunshine①. What is conveyed in the picture is both positive and illuminating。

As far as the purpose of the drawer is concerned, I think he intends to remind us of the importance of optimism. If the sheep in the cartoon feels anxious and pessimistic about the dark shade all day long, he can by no means have a comfortable and happy life. Examples like this are numerous, but I think the following one will be convincing enough. If there is half a cup of water, the pessimist may cry over it because they have only a half, while② the optimist may cheer for it because they still have a half. Obviously, they will have different perceptions and feelings③ toward the same life。

There is no denying that, most optimists have a high happiness index, which can hardly be experienced by pessimists. Therefore, we must read our life with a positive attitude. What’s more, the optimistic attitude can infect others strongly, meaning that we will find that all the friends around us are optimistic if we observe them in the same perspective. As a result, an atmosphere of optimism and happiness could be naturally set up. Therefore, let’s keep the famous line of Shelley, the well-known poet, in mind for ever, that is, “If winter comes, can spring be far behind?”④

名师点评

① where there is shadow, there is sunshine: 这句话读起来是不是很熟悉？

没错，它正是仿写了我们非常熟悉的谚语“Where there is a will, there is a way”：有志者，事竟成。

作者将这句话仿写得惟妙惟肖，可见作者对语言驾驭是何等的娴熟。

② while: 表示两种现象的对比、反差，常翻译成“而”。

③ perceptions and feelings: 近义词叠加。

近义词叠加也是一种向阅卷老师展示自己语言能力和词汇量的一种极为有效的手段。

翻译：只翻译出一种意思即可。即，这两个词合译为：感受。

④ Therefore, let’s keep the famous line of shelley, the well-known poet, in mind for ever, that is, “If winter comes, can spring be far behind?”

全文的点睛之笔，堪称经典。

首先：keep sth. in mind 这个词组用得很地道。

其次：引用了雪莱的诗歌，表现出了深厚的文化底蕴。

第三：the famous line=“If winter comes, can spring be far behind?”即后者为前者的同位语。

同位语的介入，使句子结构错落有致，层次分明，朗朗上口。

第四：著名诗句“If winter comes, can spring be far behind?”淋漓尽致地诠释了乐观的生活态度。

实际上，历年真题的阅读中又何曾没有出现过这种模仿呢？广大考生可以去查阅2007年text 3中的最后一句：The financial fallout has begun, and the political fallout may not be far behind。

⑤ 非常重要： 本题题目要求最后一段也可能会变成：

support your view with an example/examples。

这时候，我们可以把文章的结尾改写为：

Examples of optimistic attitude toward life can easily be found anywhere in our world. How would have Zhang Haidi, suffering from the high paraplegia, made such glowing achievements in life, without her strong mind and optimistic attitude? Facing the serious diseases and hardships in life, she did not choose to hold back. Instead, she has been courageous and optimistic enough to defeat them. She has set an excellent example for us.
