Present state2. Reasons3. My commentsToday advertisements in mounting numbers are seen on the TV screen. They try to keep youinformed of the many different sorts of up-to-date products on the market. Unfortunately, theproblem is that it often appears that while you are absorbed in a wonderful program, endless adsinterrupt you from time to time and makes you quite annoyed.Why is there an explosive growth in the number of ads on TV? First of all, in a competitiveeconomy, each manufacturing company tries to convince consumers that its products are specialand unique. Besides, without advertising, it is inconceivable that television companies could exist.Finally, we consumers also need to learn what new products are available for us to choose from.Personally, I am in favor of TV ads in that most of them are interesting and informative.However, there is no denying the fact that too more TV advertisements irrelevant to the majorityof the viewers are certainly a waste of time. To sum up, it is high time that TV companiesstrengthened the control of ads. (177 words)现在电视上出现了越来越多的广告。它们努力告诉你市场上各种各样的时尚产品。不幸的是，问题在于当你专注于一个精彩节目时，没完没了的广告总是不停地打断你，使你非常生气。为什么电视上出现了越来越多的广告？首先，在充满竞争的经济环境当中，每个生产商都想努力说服消费者其产品是特殊的。此外，如果没有广告，电视公司不可能生存。最后，我们消费者也需要知道可以选择什么新产品。就我个人而言，由于大多数广告有趣有益，我支持电视广告。然而，不可否认太多与大多数观众无关的电视广告无疑是浪费时间。总而言之，电视公司应该加强广告控制了。2006 年真题（流行文化）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.As is vividly depicted in the photos above, Beckham, the smart British football superstar, isenjoying a striking popularity among the adolescents. In the first picture, Beckhams nameappears on a young mans face. The caption indicates that worship for the idol is written on theface. In the second photograph, another young person is doing Beckhams chic hairstyle in abarbershop. We are informed that he is spending 300 yuan imitating his idols haircut.Undoubtedly, the pictures have subtly reflected the social phenomenon that idol worship isprevalent among the teenagers nowadays. Beckham represents the image of sport hero whosehandsome appearance and unparalleled football skills are passionately adored by all the sportsfans. Likewise, several teenage girls won their fame overnight in The 2005 Super Girl Contest inChina, which provoked nationwide noisy debates on the value and harm of admiring these idols.Briefly speaking, young people are inclined to idolize the people who excel in appearance,intelligence or talent.Hence, idolatry, the thought-provoking social phenomenon, is a double-edged sword whichcan exert profound influence on the growth of young people. If we simply worship the idols byimitating their hairstyle or pursuing fashions unreasonably, the obsession will certainly waste us agreat deal of time and money, endangering the efficiency of our work. On the contrary, we willlead a positive and fruitful life if we endeavor to improve ourselves by bridging the gap betweenour models and us. Accordingly, the latter attitude should be adopted to direct our way of life.(255 words)以上的照片生动地显示出来，相貌英俊的英国足球巨星贝克汉姆在年轻人中广受欢迎。在第一张照片中，贝克汉姆的名字出现在一个年轻人的额头上。文字表明：对偶像的崇拜写在了脸上。在第二张照片中，这个年轻人正在理发店中做贝克汉姆的时髦发型。我们得到的信息是他正花 300 元来模仿偶像的发式。毫无疑问，照片巧妙地反映了这样一个社会现象：偶像崇拜目前在青年人中非常盛行。贝克汉姆代表了体育界英雄的形象，他的英俊外表以及高超的球技正是球迷们热情追捧的。同样，2005 年中国举办的“超级女生”大赛中，几个十几岁的女孩一夜成名。围绕着崇拜这些偶像的意义和危害，这个事件激起了全国性的争论。总之，青年人往往容易崇拜那些在外表、才华和特长方面极其出色的人。在我看来，偶像崇拜这个发人深思的社会现象，其实是把双刃剑，可以深刻影响青年人成长。如果我们只是靠模仿偶像发型或追逐时尚的方式来崇拜他们，这种痴迷将必定浪费我们大量的金钱和时间，影响我们的工作效率。相反，如果我们靠弥补我们和榜样之间的差距来努力提高自己，我们就会过一种积极和收获显著的生活。因此，我们应当采取后面一种态度来指引我们的人生。2009 年真题（流行文化）Directions:Write an essay of 160-200 words based on the following drawing. In your essay, you should1) describe the drawing briefly,2) explain its intended meaning, and then3) give your comments.As is symbolically illustrated in the cartoon, a large number of people are surfing onlinewithin a stretching spider web, either to entertain themselves or to meet the works needs.Unfortunately, it seems rather ironic to present people separated from each other by the spiderweb when they attempt to communicate. Undoubtedly, the spider web serves as a symbol ofInternet, both connecting people and isolating them from each other.The metaphorical and impressive portrayal has subtly revealed the duality of therelationship between man and Internet. On the one hand, there is no denying that Internet iscurrently one of the most efficient media used for interpersonal communication. As a collegestudent, I get on line every day to discuss news with other people on BBS, to study English byregistering for web courses, to chat freely through MSN Messenger with my friends. But on theother hand, a good many people admit that they are too much addicted to Internet to maintainface-to-face contact with their friends and colleagues. Once indulged in the fictitious world,people feel reluctant to approach others and to concentrate on real life. Thats why some peoplehave lost the skill of direct contact and get alienated from others.Hence, it is necessary for us to use Internet in a reasonable way and restrain fromoverindulgence. After all, Internet is invented to connect you and me, and to bring conveniencesto our life rather than set a barrier to keep people beyond reach.(249words)这幅漫画象征性地阐释了无论是为了自我娱乐还是适应工作的需求，很多人在一个拉伸的蜘蛛网之内网上冲浪。然而，看来相当讽刺的地方是，这幅图呈现了他们在试图互相交流的同时，却被蜘蛛网彼此隔开。毫无疑问，这个蜘蛛网作为互联网的一种象征，既连接了人们，又使他们彼此隔离。这幅比喻并使人印象深刻的图画象征性揭示了人与互联网之间的双重关系。一方面，不可否认网络目前是用于人际交流的最高效媒介之一。作为一名大学生，我每天上网与他人在BBS 上讨论新闻，通过注册网络课程来学习英语，借助 MSN 和我的朋友们免费聊天。但另一方面，很多人承认他们太沉迷于网络而不愿与朋友和同事保持面对面接触。一旦沉迷于这种虚幻世界，人们不愿接近他人并关注现实生活。这就是一些人丧失了直接沟通技能并与他人疏远的原因。因此，我们很有必要以一种合理的方式使用互联网，避免过度沉迷。毕竟，人们发明互联网是为了连接你和我，为我们的生活带来方便，而非设置障碍使人彼此疏远。2002 年真题(文化交流)Directions:Study the following picture carefully and write an essay entitled “Cultures-National andInternational”. In the essay you should1.describe the picture and interpret its meaning, and2.give your comments on the phenomenon.The picture vividly depicts a lovely American girl in traditional Chinese costume with asweet smile on her face. She wears ribbons, necklaces and other accessories that are characteristicof the clothes of a certain Chinese minority group. Undoubtedly, the costume has added orientalcharm/glamour to her beautiful look/appearance/features.What the picture conveys goes far beyond only/merely a new fashion trend. Instead, it carries cultural meanings/implications as well. The fact that people from different countries are attracted to mysteriousChinese culture indicates that to some extent a culture can be accepted, respected, appreciated andshared internationally. In other words, a nations unique/distinctive culture can become international throughworldwide economic and cultural exchanges. Since the trend of globalization becomes irresistible,the increasing cultural exchanges can effectively improve mutual understanding and friendship.It is my view that national culture as priceless spiritual treasure should be preserved andcherished. Meanwhile, there are good reasons to advocate international culture for those ideasfrom the other cultures, controversial or even absurd at first sight, can provide a differentperspective for us to observe the world in the long run. Nevertheless, when we are confronted witha different culture, we should be sensible enough to absorb its essence and to resist its dark side.Only in this way can we promote cultural development positively and make our worlddimensional, colorful and vigorous. (221 words)这幅图画生动描述了一位可爱的美国小女孩身穿传统的中国服装，面带甜蜜的微笑。她戴着具有某个中国少数民族服饰特征的发带、项链和其他装饰品。毫无疑问，这套服装为她美丽的外表增添了东方的魅力。这幅图画所表达的远远不只是一种新的时尚潮流。反之，它具有文化内涵。神秘的中国文化吸引了各国人民这一事实，显示了在某种程度上，一种文化可以被国际性地接受、尊重、欣赏和分享。换而言之，一个民族独特的文化可以通过全球性的经济和文化交流走向世界。由于全球化潮流不可阻挡，所以文化交流可以有效增进相互间的理解和友谊。在我看来，我们应该保存和珍惜作为无价精神财富的民族文化。同时，我们很有必要推广世界文化，因为来自其他文化的观点，即使乍看起来相互矛盾或荒谬，但从长远看来，可以为我们观察这个世界提供一种不同的视角。然而，在我们面临不同文化时，应该充满理智地取其精华、去其糟粕。只有这样我们才能积极发展民族文化，并使我们的世界丰富多元、五颜六色、充满活力。2010 年真题（文化交流）Directions:Write an essay of 160-200 words based on the following drawing. In your essay, you should1) describe the drawing briefly,2) explain its intended meaning, and then3) give your comments.As is symbolically illustrated in the portrayal, there is a boiling hot pot containing variousingredients of multi-cultures. These pluralistic cultures can be categorized as celebrities homeand abroad as Bi Sheng, Lao She, Shakespeare and Einstein, philosophical concepts as Buddhism,Taoism, Confucianism, Goodness, ritual, humanism, Enlightenment, post-modernism anddeconstruction, as well as performing arts as Beijing Opera, Gong Fu, Liang Zhu and Swan Lake.We are informed that the cultural “hot pot” is both delicious and nutritious.The purpose of the cartoonist is to show us that instead of being outdated and of little valuein a rapidly modernizing world, cultural blending should be encouraged and maintained. On theone hand, mosaic cultures are part of the universal heritage of humanity and they are powerfulmeans of bringing together diverse peoples and social groups. Consequently, cultural integrationhas become indispensable as a means of promoting further cultural development andmaintenance. On the other hand, for China, as for any other rapidly developing country, there is adanger that age-old customs and traditions may become lost in the shadows of modernization. IfGong Fu, Beijing Opera or Swan Lake Ballet ever perished from the earth, it would be a tragedy ofimmeasurable proportions.In my view, multi-cultures can be kept alive by the people with the time to do so, and isextremely vital in ensuring a communitys future development and prosperity. As a consequenceof successful commercialization efforts, unwavering government support and growing interestsoverseas, the future of cultural blending looks brighter and more secure than ever before.(254words)如图象征性所示，一只沸腾的火锅中拥有诸多多元文化元素。这些多元文化可分为毕昇、老舍、莎士比亚、爱因斯坦等国内外名人，佛、道、儒、仁、礼、启蒙、人本、后现代、解构等哲学概念，以及京剧、功夫、天鹅湖等表演艺术。文字说明显示：“文化火锅，既美味又营养。”画家的目的是告诉我们文化融合并未过时或失去价值，相反还应鼓励和保持。一方面，多元文化作为全体人类遗产的一部分，是将不同人群和社会群体融合的有力方式。因此，文化融合作为促进文化发展和保护的一种方式，已经不可或缺。另一方面，中国跟世界上其他快速发展的国家一样，年久的习俗和传统面临着消失在现代化阴影里的危险。如果京剧、功夫或天鹅湖从地球上消失，那将是不可估量的悲剧。在我看来，如果人们能为多元文化花费时间的话，那么它就能得以保护。这对确保社会将来的繁荣和发展都至关重要。由于成功的商业努力、政府坚定不移的支持和不断增长的海外兴趣，文化融合的将来会比过去任何时候更明朗、更安全。人生哲理1994年真题DIRECTIONS:A) Title: On Making FriendsB) Time limit: 40 minutesC) Word limit: 120-150 words (not including the given opening sentence)D) Your composition should be based on the OUTLINE below and should start with thegiven opening sentence:“As a human being, one can hardly do without a friend.”E) Your composition must be written clearly on the ANSWER SHEET.OUTLINE:1. The need for friends2. True friendship3. My principle in making friendsAs a human, one can hardly do without a friend. Friends are the people one can consult,share happiness with and exchange opinions with. Do you remember one of the most severepunishment people fearisolation and being cutting off from their friends? Friendship constitutesa vital part of peoples life.What is true friendship? In the first place, a friend in need is a friend indeed. Friends willoffer you sincere help even at the cost of their own interest. In the second place, a friend is able toshare happiness and success without feeling jealous and he will listen to your sorrows when youtalk about your problem.On making friends, I should, first of all, learn to accept my friends for what they are. Inaddition, I like to make friends with those who have something in common with me or have themerits I do not have. It is vital for me to learn to seek common ground while reservingdifferences.(165 words)作为个人，没有朋友不可能生存。人们可以向朋友咨询、分享快乐并交换意见。你还记得人们最恐惧的刑罚吗？那就是与世隔绝并断绝和朋友的联系。有益组成了人生的一个重要部分。什么是真正的友谊？首先，患难之交才是真朋友。即使自己利益受损，朋友也会提供给你真诚的帮助。其次，朋友可以毫不嫉妒地分享你的快乐与成功，并且当你出现问题时，会倾听你的苦痛。至于交朋友，首先，我会学习接受朋友的本色。其次，我喜欢结交那些和我有共同之处或具有我所没有的优点的人。我会学习求同存异。2003 年真题Directions:Study the following pictures carefully and write an essay about 200 words based on thefollowing1.describe the set of drawings and interpret its meaning2.point out its implications in our life.The set of drawings above vividly depict the destiny of a flower in different circumstances.As is shown in the first cartoon, the flower is growing in full bloom in a comfortable greenhousethat shelters it from the threatening lightning and storm. On the contrary, when removed fromthe greenhouse and exposed to the driving rain, the flower soon fades and withers, with thepetals scattered on the ground.To begin with, the purpose of the drawings is to show us that the flower growing in thegreen house cannot withstand the test of the storm, yet the symbolic meanings subtly conveyedshould be taken more seriously. The delicate flower is naturally associated with young people, tobe specific, the only children in our current society; the greenhouse epitomizes parents dotingcare and abundant material supplies that can shield the children from the storms, or the harshreality. Once the young people begin to seek independence and accept challenges from the realworld, they are found too spoiled to be strong enough in the face of difficulties.Accordingly, it is vital for us to derive positive implications from these thought-provokingdrawings. On the one hand, we can frequently use them to enlighten the youth to be moreindependent in life. On the other hand, parents should be sensible enough to give their childrenmore freedom to deal with troubles and problems. Only by undergoing more challenges and toilsin adversity can young people cultivate strong personality and ability, and only in this way canthey become winners in this competitive world. (261 words)上述这组图生动描述了一朵鲜花在不同环境中的命运。如第一幅漫画所示，这朵鲜花正在舒适的温室里充分绽放，温室保护它免于可怕的闪电和风雨。相反，当被搬出温室并暴露在风雨之下时，鲜花很快就凋谢枯萎了，花瓣散落一地。首先，这些图画的目的是告诉我们温室花朵经不起风雨，然而我们应该认真对待它们所微妙传达的象征含义。这朵娇弱的鲜花自然和我们的年轻人联系起来，具体而言，就是当代社会的独生子女。温室是保护孩子免受风雨的父母溺爱和优越物质条件的缩影，而风雨就是严峻的现实。一旦年轻人开始寻求独立并且接受来自现实世界的挑战，人们发现他们已经被惯坏了，在困难面前无法足够坚强。总之，我们很有必要从这些发人深思的图画中得出积极的含义。一方面，我们可以经常利用它们来启发年轻人在生活中更加独立。另一方面，父母们应该充满理智给孩子们
