The hodgepodge could be categorized as a mixture of literature, moral values and performing arts. It reveals to us that our modern culture is complicated and diverse.I cannot help relating this picture to reality and wondering why this happened in reality. For one thing, the globalization has made it possible that the cultures from all over the world can meet and mix together and we can enjoy the benefits of alien cultures without going abroad. For another, the harmonious coexistence between the traditions and modern cultures gives us a rich identity and spiritual wealth. What is right attitude we should take toward the phenomenon? First of all, we should get lost in face of the diverse cultures and values. We must remember we must preserve our own national and local cultures in which we take root. Secondly, in the mixture of cultures and values we must learn to distinguish the good from the harmful. We should absorb the nutritious good cultures and values but at the same time we must defend ourselves against the danger of being polluted by the bad cultures and values.3What is Life About(生活的意义)What is life about? We push very hard everyday to make more money, to gain power and recognition. We neglect our health, time with our family and to appreciate the surrounding beauty and the hobbies we love to do. One day when we look back, we will realize that we dont really need that much, but then we cannot turn back time for what we have missed. Life is not about making money, acquiring power or recognition. Life is definitely not about work! Work is only necessary to keep us living so as to enjoy the beauty and pleasures of life. Life is a balance of work and play, family and personal time. You have to decide how you want to balance your life.Define your priorities, realize what you are able to compromise but always let some of your decisions be based on your instincts. Happiness is the meaning and the purpose of life,the whole aim of human existence. So, take it easy, do what you want to do and appreciate nature. Life is fragile. Life is short. Do not take life for granted. Live a balanced lifestyle and enjoy life! 4保健与饮食变动(Health Care and Dietary Changes )As is shown in the graph, Chinas food distribution has taken great changes from 1960s to 1990s According to this statistics of cereals, vegetable, meat, and fruits, the number of those who eat rice, flour or vegetable has greatly decreased in the past four decades. In contrast of this the number of those who eat oil or meat has sharply increased. From such dietary changes, we can perceive the rapid improvement of our people s living standard. Why does this improvement occur? The direct reason is the fact that the Chinese people have attached much importance to their health care. Nationally, Chinas economic growth is booming, and more people are getting richer. Individually, everyones consumption of food is increasingly varied. In particular, most of people are reluctant to eat much vegetable, but much meat and oil in their diets.In my view, the changes of Chinas dietary distribution seem to be both positive and negative. The positive aspect is that China s economical growth has given rise to the higher level of dietary standard, with most of people living rich and happy. But the negative aspect is that, Im afraid, less eating vegetable will lead to poorer health, such as lacking vitamin nutrients in ones body. Therefore, we think it necessary for the Chinese to be aware of the balanced diets: Lots of vegetable and meat, which may gain us healthier bodies in the new5广告的益处Advantages of AdsAdvertisers tend to think big and perhaps this is why they re always coming in for criticism.Their critics seem to resent them because they have a flair for self-promotion and because they have so much money to throw around. It s iniquitous, they say, that this entirely unproductive industry (if we can call it that) should absorb millions of pounds each year. It only goes to show how much profit the big companies are making.Why dont they stop advertising and reduce the price of their goods? After all, its the consumer who pays. The poor old consumer! Hed have to pay a great deal more if advertising didnt create mass markets for products. It is precisely because of the heavy advertising that consumer goods are so cheap. But we get the wrong idea if we think the only purpose of advertising is to sell goods. Another equally important function is to inform. Advertisements introduce us to new products or remind us of the existence of ones we already know about. Lots of people pretend that they never read advertisemerits, but this claim may be seriously doubted. It is hardly possible not to read advertisements these days. And what fun they often are,too! A cheerful, witty advertisement makes such a difference to a drab wall or a newspaper full of the daily ration of calamities. We must not forget, either, that advertising makes a positive contribution to our pockets. Newspapers, commercial radio and television companies could not subsist without this source of revenue. The fact that we pay so little for our daily paper, or can enjoy so many broadcast programs is due ehtirely to the money spent by advertisers. Another thing we mustnt forget is thesmall ads. which are in virtually every newspaper and magazine. What a tremendously useful service they perform for the community! Just about anything can be accomplished through these columns.No other item in a newspaper provides such entertaining reading or offers such a deep insight into human nature. Its the best advertisement for advertising there is! 6世界和平-World PeaceIraq is a part of the Middle East next to Iran & Kuwait. It is very important to the rest of the world because of its underground petroleum fields. It is said that oil is industrial blood and for this reason perhaps the war started. On September 11,2001,the Twin Towers in New York as well as parts of the Pentagon were destroyed by an airplane planned by terrorists, which made George Bush declared to fight the countrys enemies. It was said that Iraq still possessed many weapons of mass destruction and weapon inspectors were sent to the country by the UN to find the clues. Though no evidence was found, America still wanted to go to war with Iraq and the main target is Sadam Hussein. The war was just like the quiet battle between France and China in 1800s.It was said that a relation of Sadam betrayed him. I think war is not just a matter of two persons or two-family fight. It is related to so many victims inrerests . As a leader, one must always think for all the people, so will his country be prosperous for always. 1. 2010年考研英语作文预测5篇范文：失业问题 Unemployment is viewed as the number one problem in China now and the government has launched a major attack on the problem.The steps the government has taken to deal with unemployment are as follows. Firstly, unemployment fund has been established to help the unemployed workers to support themselves. Secondly, the unemployed receive vocational training, which is expected to pay off in the short term and give the unemployed an advantage in the job market. It is due to the lack of professional skills that these workers have lagged behind in the society. These training programs aim to equip the workers with some special skills, such as typing, sewing, and cooking. Finally, psychological advice is also available, since unemployment, apart from exerting financial pressures, brings enormous psychological discomfort. With the advice, the unemployed will learn how to adapt to the fierce competition in the technological age.With the joint efforts of the government and the society, we are optimistic that we can win the current war on unemployment.2. 2010年考研英语作文预测5篇范文：网络问题 In recent years, people are developing an inseparable relationship with Internet. As is vividly depicted in the picture, it is convenient for us to click the mouse when surfing on line, either to entertain ourselves or to meet the works needs. Actually on-line visiting has become a routine activity in our everyday life. However, it seems rather ironic to use a chain instead of normal wire to connect with the mouse in this picture. The exaggerative and impressive portrayal has subtly revealed the duality of the relationship between man and Internet.Discussion on the duality has become very popular in newspapers or in peoples chats. On the one hand, no one denies that Internet is currently one of the most useful media in our daily life. People from all walks of life are benefiting considerably from its powerful function of information communication. But on the other hand, a great many people admit that they are too much addicted to Internet to maintain a regular and wholesome lifestyle. Cyber-living resembles the experience of looking constantly into a kaleidoscope which displays both colored patterns and illusions. Such a waste of time inevitably leads to their failure in their life and work.Accordingly, it is necessary for us to use Internet in a reasonable way and restrain from overindulgence. For one thing, college students in expanding numbers get on line every day to learn the news, to study English by registering for web courses, to exchange information through e-mails with their net friends and to download their favorite music, flash, film and pictures. Being veteran on-line shoppers, they frequently purchase books, CDs at much lower prices. For another, once indulged in the fictitious world, people can barely concentrate on real life. Consequently, many students just chat on line or play computer games immoderately everyday, skipping many essential classes. After all, Internet is invented to enrich our life, to connect you and me, and to improve the efficiency of our work rather than shackle us with a chain.3. 2010年考研英语作文预测5篇范文：Problem of piracy盗版问题 Nowadays, the problem of piracy has become more and more serious. Books, tapes, VCDs and other high-tech products almost all have been pirated. When a new product comes into marks, very probably, its pirated counterpart will soon make its appearance in the market, too.Piracy has caused a great loss to the legitimate producers, inventors and writers, and made great confusion in the markets. Because the pirated products often cost much less than the genuine ones, they enjoy a pretty good selling in spite of their relatively poor quality. The genuine products, on the contrary, sell poorly. This happens especially to some high-tech products, whose prices often high. In addition, in the case of the pirated book, sometimes, they do great harm to the authors names due to some misprints, however, piracy doesnt benefit those customers who buy the pirated products, because in the long run, customers will suffer a big loss for the sake of small gains. Shouldnt we solve the problem now?In my opinion, this problem of piracy should receive due attention now, and its time everyone started the battle against piracy. First, customers should develop their consciousness to resist the pirated products. Besides, government should take effective measures to stop piracy. Finally, strong laws must be strictly executed to completely ban piracy. Only in this way we wipe out piracy.4. 2010年考研英语作文预测5篇范文：对待时间的态度 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 ones 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.5. 2010年考研英语作文预测5篇范文：经济危机 The global economy, who is sleeping over that stretcher, like a helpless-sick wreck, is being practised emergency treatment by worldwide-banking systems ,which are trying their best to save the market intensively by cooperation . Conspicuously, thats a horrible depiction related to the economic downturn around the world.Several factors weigh heavily for the reason of this round of economic recession, yet , there are two kernels suspended on the top of the list which should never be overlooked. First of all, the economic slide in business cycle ,as the case of economic crisis( the Great Depression happening between 1929-1930 for example ),would make its comeback every 10-30 years on the average,so would this time! Furthermore,the overestimation of economic prosperity has resulted in a great multitude of foams in the securities and the realties .A case in point is one of my fathers colleagues, who made use of instalment policy to speculate in real estates market,thus, only spending 30% of totally-needed funds in possessing 3 apartments ,with the aggregate price over 2 million RMB . Actually, thats not the Day of Judgment!What we are glad to see is the keyword“cooperation”! If the drastic measures would be taken immediately ,just as laying down the associative-effective discipline,delivering the moderate outlook of consumption and ensuring our investing manners more rationally, we will surely get through this tough period before long.1. Oxford University 英语作文Oxford is a unique and historic institution. As the oldest English-speaking university in the world, it lays claim to eight centuries of continuous existence. There is no clear date of foundation, but teaching existed at Oxford in some form in 1096 and developed rapidly from 1167, when Henry II banned English students from attending the University of Paris.In 1188, the historian, Gerald of Wales, gave a public reading to the assembled Oxford dons and in 1190 the arrival of Emo of Friesland, the first known overseas student, initiated the Universitys tradition of international scholarship. By 1201, the University was headed by a magister scolarum Oxonie, on whom the title of Chancellor was conferred in 1214, and in 1231 the masters were recognized as a uniuersitas or corporation. In the 13th century, rioting between town and gown (students and townspeople) hastened the establishment of primitive halls of residence. These were succeeded by the first of xfords colleges or endowed houses whose architectural splendour, together with the Universitys libraries and museums, give the city its unique character. University, Balliol and Merton Colleges, established between 1249 and 1264, were the oldest. Less than a century later, Oxford had achieved eminence above every other seat of learning, and won the praises of popes, kings and sages by virtue of its antiquity, curriculum, doctrine and privileges. In 1355, Edward III paid tribute to the University for its invaluable contribution to learning; he also commented on the services rendered to the state by distinguished Oxford graduates. - Oxford early on became a centre for lively controversy, with scholars involved in religious and political disputes. John Wyclif, a 14th-century Master of Balliol, campaigned for a bible in the vernacular, against the wishes of the papacy. In 1530, Henry VIII forced the University to accept his divorce from Catherine of Aragon. During the Reformation in the 16th century, the Anglican churchmen Cranmer, Latimer and Ridley were tried for heresy and burnt at the stake in Oxford. The University was Royalist in the Civil War,
