(20 points)文化“火锅”，既美味又营养参考范文What an interesting drawing in front of us! A hot pot is symbolically depicted in it by the painter. More interestingly, this hot pot has been given a beautiful name: “Culture hot pot”. As is shown in the picture, there are many delicious and nutritious cultural elements in this “Culture hot pot”, such as Confucianism, Peking Opera, Shakespeare, Einstein, and Swan Lake ballet. With the help of the Chinese description below the drawing, we know that, while experiencing the inevitable cultural exchanges as well as cultural clashes, people from diversified cultural backgrounds are seeking to exist in harmony. Thanks to the means of modern transportation and communication, the world is getting smaller and smaller. Nowadays, the whole world community appears to be no more than a large globe village where the residents with different cultural backgrounds and values come together. It is an obvious fact that, in this modern world, the cultural progress has never been an isolated phenomenon of any one culture but the product of the frequent exchanges with other cultures.Of course, some people are worried that culture fusion will result in the loss of our own culture. Different cultures, in fact, can absorb and influence from one another through cultural exchange. It has become an undeniable fact that cultural exchange is by no means a process of losing our own culture, but one of enriching a nations own culture. Therefore, it enables us to bear our own national features wile exchanging with other cultures. All in all, we can come to the conclusion that cultural exchange has become an indispensable part of the modern society. For one thing, the cultural exchange offers us a rare opportunity to learn from each other. For another, during the past three decades, the vision of the Chinese people has been broadened and they are not only concerned about the development of our own traditional cultures but also eager to know more about the trends of cultural development of the whole world. So we are convinced that the combination of our traditional cultures with foreign cultural elements will bring us a better international community full of peace and harmony.（2）2009年考研英语短文写作真题52Directions: Write an essay of 160-200 words based on the following drawing.

(20 points )网络的“近”与“远”参考范文This picture gives us a vivid description of a spider web and many people are caught in the web. As can be seen from it, many people are communicating with the outside through the network in the isolated narrow places. Obviously, this imaginative and thought-provoking picture is suggestive in two important aspects. On the one hand, the spider web is an image of the Internet and hi-tech communication which developed at a tremendous speed in the last few decades and fascinated people all over the world. Today, a net-user can contact anywhere in the world and access a huge pool of information by use of the Internet. In this sense, the Internet greatly shortens the distance between people and makes information more easily available. On the other hand, however, the Internet, while making distant communication easier, creates barriers for face-to-face communication. People talk more and more with strangers on the Net, but less and less with colleagues in the same office. People are busy chatting online and sending emails to distant friends, but are ignoring the real people around them. This is the ultimate irony of the modern technology. All in all, it is no exaggeration to say that human beings have become the slaves of the new technology. We were closely connected on the net, but we are also trapped in an unreal world. Obviously, what the picture designer intends to convey to us is that the Net is bringing people closer as well as separating us apart. （3）2008年考研英语短文写作真题52.

(20 points)你一条腿，我一条腿；你我一起，走南闯北。参考范文The picture above gives us a vivid description of the two disabled people. Two of them are running fast by supporting each other, leaving their walking stick far behind although they have only one leg respectively. Just as the caption below goes, “Supporting each other enables us to go wherever we want.” Simple as it is, what the picture conveys to us is really thought-provoking. The implied meaning of the drawing can be interpreted in terms of mutual help and cooperation. To begin with, the spirit of mutual help is badly needed in the modern society. As is known to us all, everyone cant live without the support and help from others. The numerous facts have revealed that it is the mutual assistance that helps us overcome our shortcomings and realize our self-value. Whats more, helping each other is also essential to the building of a harmonious society. With the rapid pace of global integration, teamwork spirit is playing an increasingly important part in our daily activities. For instance, many great achievements made in the history of human civilization can not be achieved without the joint efforts of the people from diversified cultural background. In short, we need to realize that cooperation is equally important to both our individual growth and the development of our nation and the whole international community.In my view, we need to be aware of the obvious fact that “United, we stand, divided, we fall.” For one thing, an education campaign should be launched to educate people on the importance of cooperation. For another, more relevant activities should be created for the young people so as to cultivate their sense of teamwork. Only in these ways, can we achieve a win-win result. （4）2007年考研英语短文写作真题52.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 then3) support your view with an example/ examples.You should write neatly on ANSWER SHEET 2.(20 points) 参考范文What an exciting moment in a football match! Just as we can see from it, one football player is standing in front of the gate and the other one is going to make a penalty kick. Somehow, the gate becomes so wide to the people keeping the gate and very narrow to the people who is going to kick the ball. In the mind of the former, the gate seems too wide for him to catch the ball while in the mind of the latter, the gate seems too narrow for him to score the point. The picture is both interesting and thought-provoking because it shows how our minds react to different cases. Mentally speaking, we tend to fear difficulty and exaggerate the difficulty ahead of us. The difficult task always looks bigger than it is, just as the gate looks so wider to the people keeping the gate. Generally speaking, there are two reasons for such a psychological phenomenon. One is that some of us do not have enough confidence in ourselves and the second one is that we are not well prepared for the task that we are going to undertake in the life. The examination we are going to take is a good case in point. Passing the examination has been regarded by many students as an impossible task because we have to face many difficulties and challenges. In a word, it is almost impossible for us to make our dreams come true. But many students have set us a good example to fulfill their dreams through constant efforts. So, we sometimes exaggerate the difficulty that we are confronted with. My advice is that, when we have a challenge, we should be brave enough to meet it. We should always believe in the proverb: “Where there is a will, there is a way!” （5）2006年考研英语短文写作真题52. Directions: Study the following photos carefully and write an essay in which you should1. describe the photos briefly,2. interpret the social phenomenon reflected by them, and3. give your point of view,You should write 160-200 words neatly on ANSWER SHEET 2. (20 points) 把崇拜写在脸上 花300元做个“小贝头”注: Beckham (贝克汉姆) 英国足球明星。参考范文These photos mirror a widespread social phenomenon among young people, which is called “Idol worship”. As can be seen from the photo on the left, a football fan put “Beckham”, the name of a famous British football star, on his face. Similarly, in the photo on the right, we can see a young man who asks the hairdresser to cut his hair in the same hairstyle as that of Beckham. Obviously, some stars, like Beckham, are admired by the young people. In fact, there is nothing wrong with the phenomenon of admiring the stars because in a sense young people are motivated to strive for excellence in both their academic study and school performance. From these stars, they can learn how to achieve success and how to attain a high level of excellence. But we cant ignore the fact that some young people are misled by the blind idol worship. For example, some of them hope that one day they can achieve the same victory as stars, but meanwhile they do not make the painstaking efforts to reach such a goal. In such a case, what they have done can be viewed as a kind of blind idol worship. All in all, we should take an objective attitude towards this phenomenon. For one thing, we should be aware of the positive effect of it on the growth of young people. For another, some young people should be guided by the school or teachers in terms of it. Only in these ways, can we benefit more from this phenomenon. （6）2005年考研英语短文写作真题52. Directions:Write an essay of 160-200 words based on the following drawing. In your essay, you should first describe the drawing, then interpret its meaning, and give your comment on it.参考范文As is vividly depicted in the cartoon presented above, four children are playing a special football match. Just as we can see, each of them stands in a different comer of a football field and the eldest son is kicking out his pitiful father, with the other three brothers and sisters guarding the gate respectively. Simple as it is, what is revealed in it is really thought-provoking. Undoubtedly, the purpose of such a drawing is to show us that due attention has to be paid to the mistreatment of some senior citizens. First and foremost, some people shirk their duty of providing their parents with necessary financial aid and take their own interests as the top priority. Furthermore, some elderly people are even ill treated by their own children and cannot lead a normal life as common people. Worst of all, some young people are pleasure-seeking and want to enjoy a comfortable life, which put their aged parents in a miserable world full of poverty and hopelessness. In my opinion, it is imperative for us to take drastic measures to tackle this problem. To begin with, relevant laws and regulations should be made to severely punish those who shun the responsibilities of caring their aged parents. In addition, we should arouse young peoples awareness of respecting the old and caring the young because this virtue has always been the traditional virtue of Chinese culture. Only in these ways, can we curb the current situation revealed in the picture.（7）2004年考研英语短文写作真题Directions: Study the following drawing carefully and write an essay in which you should describe the drawing, interpret its meaning, and support your view with examples. You should write about 200 words neatly on ANSWER SHEET 2. (20 points)参考范文An exciting athletic competition is vividly depicted in the picture given above. From it, we see an athlete running towards the finish line. He is sweating all over, but he wears a happy smile on his face because he has won this game. More interestingly, just before the finishing line, there are two big Chinese characters: one is “End” and the other is “Beginning”. The meaning of this picture is obvious. Life is just like a race. The end of this race is also a new beginning of the next one. Every achievement we have made can be viewed as a new beginning. From this picture, we know what attitude we should take towards success. In our real life, we sometimes make great progress. But at such a situation, what are we going to do? Shall we enjoy a sense of achievement, or continue to work hard for the next success? Are we satisfied with our present achievement we have made, or shall we aim at a higher goal? The answer seems to be evident. Generally speaking, what we can learn from the picture is that we should not be satisfied with the progress we have made. Instead, we should spare no efforts to strive for the next higher goal. Therefore, the correct attitude towards success is clenching our teeth and continuing to work hard. Four-year college education is not the end of our education but a new beginning of the postgraduate education. Anyway, we should bear it in mind, “The end is also a new beginning.” （8）2003年考研英语短文写作真题Directions: Study the following set of drawings carefully and write an essay in which you should 1) describe the set of drawings, interpret its meaning. and 2) point out its implications in our life.You should write about 200 words nearly on ANSWER SHEET 2.(20 points) 参考范文The two pictures describe the fate of a flower. At the very beginning, the flower is in a greenhouse and enjoys the protection of the shelter, which makes it grows well, But when the flower is moved outside, it is no longer able to flourish. A storm comes and the flower is broken in the thunderstorm and its petals fall. Obviously, it cannot survive the harsh conditions.The pictures suggest much about what is happening in our life. Are not our young people like flowers in a greenhouse? They are the single child in the family and they get all that they want; their parents will do anything for them. This is particularly true of children born after 1980, all of whom grew up in a time of the fast economic growth and in increasingly wealthy families. They do not know what hunger or hardship is. Compared with the previous generation who had experienced the time of poverty and food shortage, todays young people grew up playing computer games and eating McDonalds. They do not have to worry about their tuition or living expenses. They do not have to solve problems because their parents will do it for them. They are under heavy protection and, probably when they leave home, they will have difficulty coping with life itself.This problem is directly related to our concept of education. We teach children much knowledge, but we do not teach them the ability to survive in the modem society. The problem is also related to our way of parenting. Do parents want their children to be really capable individuals? Or do they want them always to be the mothers babies? Until these questions are properly answered, we shall continue to have children like greenhouse flowers, beautiful but fragile and unable to stand up to lifes real challenges.（9）2.9 2002年考研英语短文写作真题Directions:Study the following picture carefully and write an essay entitled CulturesNational and International.

Her bright smile perfectly matches the traditional Chinese clothes, hat, necklace, etc. In such a simple way, the designer of the picture managed to reflect the rapidly growing exchanges between different cultures, especially between the Chinese and the Western cultures.Most people would attach great importance to this phenomenon. They believe that exchanges between different cultures will lead to a better understanding between China and the Western world, which will inevitably bring tremendous changes to our future world. There is no doubt that with better understanding, things like confrontation, conflicts and wars can be avoided and that the blend of different cultures will lead to lasting peace and prosperity of the world. As a college student, I firmly believe that globalization is the tendency of todays world and there is nothing that can hold it back. The ideas that Western cultures would be a threat to the traditional Chinese cultures and they would be abandoned gradually have been out of date. What we ought to think seriously about is probably not whether this kind of blend is needed or not, but what we could do in order to let this process make positive contribution to the development of the Chinese cultures, and how we can make the traditional Chinese cultures known to the world and be accepted by the world. That is the very idea that the designer of the picture wants to tell us. It is probably only in this way that the balance of exchanges can be kept and both sides can benefit from this process of globalization.（10）2001年考研英语短文写作真题Directions:Among all the worthy feelings of mankind, love is probably the noblest, but everyone has his/her own understanding of it.
