(一)真題

　　 1.2007年6月真題

　　 Directions:For this part,you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic Should One Expect a Reward When Doing a Good Deed?You should write at least 150 words,and you should base your composition on the outline(given in Chinese)below:

　　 1.有些人認為做好事應(yīng)該有回報。

　　 2.另一些人認為應(yīng)該像雷鋒那樣,做好事不計回報。

　　 3.我的看法。

　　 解析

　　 該題屬于典型的“對立觀點型”作文,完全可以按照前一節(jié)對于第一種題型的講解寫作。

　　 范文

　　 Should One Expect a Reward When Doing a Good Deed?

　　 There is no denying the fact that it is a controversial topic whether one should expect a reward when doing a good deed.People's opinions differ considerably on this issue.

　　 Some hold the positive view.They claim that it is a natural thing for one to get rewarded after he has made contributions to the society,especially in an age of market economy.Otherwise,people would be discouraged from helping others.

　　 Others,however,hold the opposite view.They argue that one should learn from Lei Feng and expect no reward when helping others.In their opinion,not everything is a commodity.The whole society would be in danger if we all calculated conscience and affection in terms of money.As the saying goes,it is love,instead of money,that turns the world around.

　　 Personally,I am inclined to agree with the latter point of view.If a person helps others for rewards,he is not doing a good deed;instead,he is doing business.In that case,our society will become a cold place to live in.On the contrary,we should keep it in mind that we do not help others for money,but out of love and the sense of responsibility.Only in this way can we achieve a really harmonious society.

　　 或:Personally,I believe that both sides have something right,so we should not go to extremes.On the one hand,we should recognize and reward in time people who have done a good deed or good deeds;on the other hand,we should keep it in mind that we do not help others for money,but out of love and the sense of responsibility.Only in this way can we achieve a really harmonious society.

　　 譯文

　　 做好事該不該期待回報?

　　 不可否認,“做好事該不該期待回報”是一個有爭議的話題。在這個問題上人們的意見有十分明顯的分歧。

　　 一些人持正面看法。他們說為社會做了貢獻而得到獎勵是一件自然的事,特別是在市場經(jīng)濟時代。否則,人們就不會再愿意幫助他人。

　　 另一些人則持相反的看法。他們認為,應(yīng)該向雷鋒學習,幫助別人時不期待回報。在他們看來,并非一切都是商品。如果大家都以金錢來計算良知和情感,那整個社會將處于危險之中。如俗話所說,推動世界運轉(zhuǎn)的是愛,而非金錢。

　　 就個人而言,我傾向于贊同后者的觀點。如果一個人幫助別人是為了得到回報,那他就不是在做好事,而是在做買賣。這樣的話,我們的社會就會成為一個冰冷的世界。相反,我們應(yīng)該記住,我們幫助別人并不是為了錢,而是出于愛心和責任感。只有這樣,才能創(chuàng)建真正和諧的社會。

　　 或:就個人而言,我認為,雙方都有一定道理,我們不應(yīng)該走極端。一方面,我們應(yīng)該認識到,應(yīng)該及時認可和獎勵做了好事的人;另一方面,我們應(yīng)該記住,我們幫助別人并不是為了錢,而是出于愛心和責任感。只有這樣,才能創(chuàng)建真正和諧的社會。

　　 2.2008年6月真題

　　 Directions:For this part you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled Will e-books Replace Traditional Books?You should write at least 150 words following the outline given below:

　　 1.隨著信息技術(shù)的發(fā)展,電子圖書越來越多。

　　 2.有人認為電子圖書會在將來取代傳統(tǒng)圖書。

　　 3.我的觀點。

　　 解析

　　 這篇文章也可以算是“對立觀點型”,但跟一般的對立觀點型作文又不太一樣,提綱要求并不是按照“先正面觀點、后反面觀點、最后自己觀點”的順序。我們寫作的時候不要生搬硬套原來的模板,要尊重既定的提綱。第一段除了把第一句譯成英語之外,還可以再加上一些人們閱讀電子圖書的例子。第二段可以寫某些人的看法和理由,即電子圖書相對于傳統(tǒng)圖書的優(yōu)勢,如省時、省力、省錢等。第三段寫自己的觀點,可以贊同也可以反對上一段的看法。寫反對的看法似乎比較有話可說,也就是再說說傳統(tǒng)圖書相對于電子圖書的好處。在語言方面,原有模板中的很多話還是可以借用的,當然比較常用的好說法也不止一種,如下文中所示。

　　 范文

　　 Will e-books Replace Traditional Books?

　　 There is no denying the fact that e-books have gained increasing popularity in the past years along with the development of information technology.Taking a look around,we can find examples too numerous to list.Actually,modern readers seem to spend more time on e-books than on traditional ones.

　　 As a consequence,it has emerged as a hotly debated topic whether e-books will take the place of traditional books in the future.Some hold the positive view.They claim that it is natural for books to become electronic as mankind steps into a digital age.Compared with traditional books,e-books have some obvious advantages.For one thing,it is convenient to read on line as modern people have easy access to the Internet.For another,reading'e-books saves money.

　　 Personally,I believe that e-books cannot replace all traditional books.Firstly,you can mark a traditional book and write your comments in the margin but you cannot do that conveniently on e-books.Secondly,to many people,only the smell of ink and the feel of paper can provide the true sense of reading and learning.Therefore,in my opinion,traditional books will still exist in the future.

　　 譯文

　　 電子圖書會取代傳統(tǒng)圖書嗎?

　　 不可否認,在過去幾年中,隨著信息技術(shù)的發(fā)展,電子圖書越來越受歡迎。環(huán)顧四周,我們可以發(fā)現(xiàn)例子不勝枚舉。事實上,現(xiàn)代讀者看電子圖書的時間似乎比看傳統(tǒng)圖書的時間要多。

　　 因此,“電子圖書將來是否會取代傳統(tǒng)圖書”已經(jīng)成為一個引起激烈爭論的話題。一些人持正面看法。他們認為,隨著人類步入數(shù)字時代,傳統(tǒng)圖書變?yōu)殡娮訄D書是很自然的事。與傳統(tǒng)圖書相比,電子圖書有明顯的優(yōu)勢。一方面,因為現(xiàn)代人上網(wǎng)很容易,所以在線閱讀很方便。另一方面,閱讀電子書籍可以省錢。

　　 我個人認為,電子圖書不能取代所有傳統(tǒng)圖書。首先,你可以在傳統(tǒng)圖書上做標記,并在空白處寫下自己的評論,但讀電子圖書時要想這樣做不太方便。第二,對很多人來說,只有聞著墨香、摸著紙張才真正有讀書和學習的感覺。因此,我認為,傳統(tǒng)圖書在未來仍然會存在。

　　 3.2006年12月老題型真題

　　 Directions:For this part you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled The Celebration of Western Festivals.You should write at least 150 words following the outline given below.

　　 1.現(xiàn)在國內(nèi)有不少人喜歡過西方的某些節(jié)日

　　 2.產(chǎn)生這種現(xiàn)象的原因

　　 3.這種現(xiàn)象可能帶來的影響

　　 解析

　　 與上一道題一樣,這道題固然可以使用部分模板句,但也不能全用,因為該題所反映的現(xiàn)象并非完全的壞事,所以在分析影響時語言要有相應(yīng)的變化,即使最后加上解決問題的文字也不能完全照搬模板。

　　 范文

　　 The Celebration of Western Festivals

　　 There is no doubt that an increasing number of Chinese are fond of celebrating some Western festivals today.Taking a look around,we can find examples too many to enumerate.Reports about Chinese observing Christmas,Saint Valentine's Day and Thanksgiving Day are frequently heard or read on TV or the Internet.

　　 A variety of factors may have led to the phenomenon,but the leading ones are as follows.For one thing,due to the policy of reform and opening?up,Chinese people tend to know more about Western culture and be influenced by it.For another,some businessmen wish to make money by encouraging people to celebrate those Western festivals.Last but not least,as traditional Chinese festivals lose their attraction,many people tend to find joy in Western festivals.

　　 Though we need not criticize people celebrating Western festivals,nor can we stop them,we have to beware of the danger behind it.While enjoying the atmosphere brought by those Western customs,we might well lose our own tradition and identity.This will definitely result in severe consequences if we keep turning a blind eye to it.

　　 Given the acuteness of this problem,effective steps must be adopted before the situation deteriorates.First,it is imperative that the government appeal to people to attach importance to traditional Chinese festivals.Meanwhile,students should be educated more about the significance of traditional Chinese culture.

　　 譯文

　　 慶祝西方節(jié)日

　　 毫無疑問,現(xiàn)在越來越多的中國人喜歡過一些西方節(jié)日。環(huán)顧四周,我們可以發(fā)現(xiàn)這樣的例子不勝枚舉。在電視上和網(wǎng)上我們經(jīng)常能聽到或看到關(guān)于中國人過圣誕節(jié)、情人節(jié)和感恩節(jié)的報道。

　　 多種因素可能導致了這一現(xiàn)象,但主要因素有以下幾點。首先,因為改革開放政策,中國人對西方文化了解得越來越多,也受其影響。第二,一些商人想通過鼓勵人們過洋節(jié)來賺錢。最后,隨著傳統(tǒng)中國節(jié)日失去其吸引力,很多人傾向于從西方節(jié)日中尋找快樂。

　　 盡管我們不應(yīng)該批評那些過西方節(jié)日的人,也無法制止他們,但是我們必須意識到這背后的危險。在享受那些西方習俗帶來的氣氛時,我們很可能會失去我們自己的傳統(tǒng)和特色。如果我們繼續(xù)對此視而不見,必將造成嚴重后果。

　　 鑒于這個問題的嚴重性,必須采取有效措施,防止情況惡化。首先,政府必須呼吁人們重視傳統(tǒng)中國節(jié)日。同時,應(yīng)該教育學生,讓他們知道傳統(tǒng)中國文化的重要性。

　　 4.2013年6月真題2

　　 Directions:For this part,you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay commenting on the remark “Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's need,but not every man's greed”.You may cite some examples to support you view.You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.

　　 解析

　　 該題屬于典型的“諺語警句型”作文,完全可以按照前一節(jié)對于這一題型的講解寫作。

　　 范文

　　 An age?old proverb says that “Earth provides enough to satisfy every man's need,but not every man's greed,” by which is meant that,in view of the limited resources on the earth,one should refrain from asking for more than he needs.In other words,one should learn to be thrifty and contented with a moderate level of living.Otherwise,there might appear crisis of resources,conflicts and even warfare.

　　 Actually,history abounds with examples to prove this saying.Taking a look around,we can also find examples too many to enumerate.Here I can think of no better illustration of the proverb than the experience of the U.S..As the most developed country in the world,it has already occupied and consumed more than its proportion of wealth.Yet it never stopped expanding and grabbing resources from other countries.The 9·11 terrorist attack and wars between the U.S.and many other countries are just results of such greediness.

　　 Bringing what has been discussed into a conclusion,we may say that thrift and self?denial are really valuable virtues of mankind,especially in the current world.So,neither a person nor a nation should pursue material wealth endlessly.Instead,he or they should take into consideration of others'needs and,in the meanwhile,go after spiritual wealth.In a word,we should truly understand the profound meaning of the proverb and take the right actions in our life in the future.

　　 譯文

　　 一句由來已久的名言說“天生萬物,盡夠人需,卻難填欲壑”,意思是,地球資源有限,我們不應(yīng)該有需求之外的過分要求。換句話說,我們應(yīng)該學會節(jié)儉、知足、生活樸素。 否則,就會出現(xiàn)資源危機、矛盾,甚至戰(zhàn)爭。

　　 事實上,歷史上存在著大量的例子來證明這句話的道理。即使我們看看周圍也能發(fā)現(xiàn)例子不勝枚舉。在這里,我想不到比美國的經(jīng)歷更好的例子了。作為世界上最發(fā)達的國家,美國已經(jīng)占據(jù)和消費了超出其份額的財富。然而它仍然不停地擴張,攫取其他國家的資源。9·11恐怖襲擊以及美國和其他國家之間的戰(zhàn)爭就是這種貪欲的結(jié)果。

　　 綜上所述,我們可以說,節(jié)儉和克己確實是重要的人類美德,尤其在當今社會。所以,不管是個人還是國家都不應(yīng)該無休止地追求物質(zhì)財富,而是應(yīng)該考慮到別人的需求,并且追求精神財富。簡而言之,我們應(yīng)該真正理解這一諺語的深刻含義,在未來生活中采取正確的行動。

　　 5.2002年6月真題

　　 Directions:For this part,you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic Student Use of Computers.You should write at least 150 words,and base your composition on the chart and the outline given below:

　　 1.上圖所示為1990年、1995年、2000年某校大學生使用計算機的情況,請描述其變化;

　　 2.請說明發(fā)生這些變化的原因(可從計算機的用途、價格或社會發(fā)展等方面加以說明);

　　 3.你認為目前大學生在計算機使用中有什么困難或問題。

　　 解析

　　 這道題屬于典型的“圖表型”作文,可以按照我們前面說的思路來寫。第一段描述圖表中的數(shù)據(jù)。第二段分析原因,但要注意最好從括號里建議的幾方面來寫。第三段有些話也可以套用模板,如this chart is a perfect index of...;a series of problems have arisen in the process和it is reasonable for us to believe that they can be solved in the near future with effective measures taken等。但是如果能用自己的話表述是最好的,如下面的范文。

　　 范文

　　 Student Use of Computers

　　 Students nowadays tend to use computers more frequently than before.Reading this chart,we can find that the average number of hours a student spends on the computer per week has increased sharply.In 1990,it was less than 2 hours;in 1995,it increased to almost 4 hours;and in 2000,the number soared to 20 hours.

　　 A number of factors account for the change in the chart,but the following might be the critical ones.First,computers facilitate us in many aspects of life.Also,the fast development of the Internet enlarges our demands for using computers.We can easily contact with friends in remote places through the Internet.Besides,the prices of computers are getting lower and lower,which enables more students to afford them.

　　 However,there still exist some problems,such as poor quality,out?of?date designs of computers and so on.And how to balance the time spent on using computers and studying is also a serious problem.Anyhow,we will benefit a lot from computers as long as we use them properly.

　　 譯文

　　 學生使用電腦

　　 現(xiàn)在的學生使用電腦往往比原來更加頻繁。讀此圖表,我們可以發(fā)現(xiàn),學生平均每周花在電腦上的小時數(shù)大幅增長。1990年為不到2小時,1995年則上升至近4小時,2000年猛增到20個小時。

　　 許多因素可以解釋圖表中的變化,但下面的幾個可能是關(guān)鍵因素。首先,電腦使我們生活的很多方面都更加便利。而且,互聯(lián)網(wǎng)的迅速發(fā)展擴大了我們使用電腦的需求。通過互聯(lián)網(wǎng)我們很容易就可以聯(lián)系到遠在天邊的朋友。此外,電腦的價格越來越低,有越來越多的學生能夠買得起電腦。

　　 但是,仍然存在著一些問題,如電腦質(zhì)量差、設(shè)計過時等等。而且如何平衡使用電腦和學習的時間也是一個嚴重的問題。不過,只要我們恰當?shù)厥褂秒娔X,就會受益良多。

　　 6.2005年1月真題

　　 Directions:For this part,you are allowed 30 minutes to write an open letter on behalf of the Student Union asking people to give help to a student who is seriously ill.You should write at least 150 words following the outline given below:

　　 1.對病人的簡單介紹:目前的病情。

　　 2.病人目前的困難:無法承擔醫(yī)療費用,需要護理。

　　 3.希望捐助;聯(lián)系方式。

　　 解析

　　 這道題屬于“應(yīng)用寫作型”中的公開信,也沒有太多模板句可用,關(guān)鍵還是把正文三段詞數(shù)寫夠,而且少出錯,多出彩。注意開頭的稱呼不能用Dear Sir or Madam,可以用Dear friends,Dear everyone,Dear schoolmates,Dear fellow students等。

　　 范文
