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 “l(fā)ow 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。

名師點評

① is sleeping soundly: 熟睡，也可以表達為 A boy is fast asleep。“soundly and comfortably”這類副詞的加入，使得描述更生動活潑，而不是單調(diào)的主謂賓。

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。

該句主干結(jié)構(gòu)是：A boy is sleeping, when his mother comes and turns off the television。

這個句型的含義是：一件事情正在發(fā)生(正在睡覺)，突然發(fā)生了另一件事(媽媽來關(guān)電視)。

“with the television on”： with 引導(dǎo)的伴隨結(jié)構(gòu)，即A boy is sleeping, while the television is on. 也可以寫成伴隨狀語A boy is sleeping, forgetting to turn off the television。

“blaming the boy for not having turned off the television again”，這句是媽媽關(guān)電視的伴隨動作，一邊關(guān)電視，一邊責(zé)怪孩子忘記關(guān)電視。

③ are used to doing: 習(xí)慣于做某事，使用短語表達，地道準(zhǔn)確。

④ to serve as responsible stewards of the planet:這是2005年真題閱讀中的原句，的文章里面的句型，引用的標(biāo)準(zhǔn)到位。

一般而言，環(huán)保類話題，都可以用這句話，引出第三段的個人評論。

歷年真題是一座巨大的寶庫，我們一定要充分利用，舉一反三。

二、網(wǎng)絡(luò)的利與弊

到底聽誰的？

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。

① so… that 句型：如此……以至于……。

② with an explosive amount of information on the Internet: 這是2004年真題閱讀第一篇中的句型。

③ it can be difficult to tell good information from bad: 這是2003年真題閱讀第一篇中的句型。可見，充分了解真題閱讀，對于提高寫作的幫助作用也很大。

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

倒裝句的寫法(部分倒裝)：

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

only放在句首，把情態(tài)動詞can和主語交換一下位置就寫成了倒裝句。

三、醉酒駕車與安全意識、社會責(zé)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。

名師點評

① as drunken as a fiddler: 醉得像一個游蕩者。實際上是一個比喻，相當(dāng)于漢語中的爛醉如泥。用語非常形象生動，一個酩酊大醉的司機形象躍然紙上！

② Life is one-way journey: you cannot experience it twice：非常富有哲理性，語言優(yōu)美、地道。respected and awed: 敬重和敬畏，語言簡潔、有力、到位。

③ DUI: 醉酒駕車，也可以寫成：drunk driving。

④ leaving…:動詞的ing形式作伴隨狀語。句型經(jīng)典。

四、大學(xué)生就業(yè)

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。

名師點評

① complaining that she will never take a job of serving others: 伴隨狀語。

② why finding a promising job is so difficult in modern society: 這個句子充當(dāng)了整個句子的賓語，叫做賓語從句。

特殊疑問詞why, what, when等引導(dǎo)的賓語從句必須使用正常的陳述語序，不得使用主謂倒裝的形式。

例如，這句就不能寫成：why is finding a promising job so difficult in modern society？finding a promising job是主語。is是系動詞。

再如：I don’t know what his name is。

絕對不能寫成：I don’t know what is his name。

③ 2008年真題閱讀選項中的句子。

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

稍加改動，變成了一個個性化的句子引入第二段內(nèi)容的模板，雖然沒有華麗的辭藻，但是非常精彩和純正。

④ be conscious that: 意識到，that后邊必須接完整的主謂賓結(jié)構(gòu)。

這個表達等同于be aware that，可以進行同意替換。

此外：be conscious of 和be aware of 在意思上也等同于這兩者，表示意識到。

但是：be conscious of 和be aware of后邊要接單詞或者短語，一般不能加句子。

⑤ the third industry: 第三產(chǎn)業(yè)，是service industry(服務(wù)業(yè))的同位語。

同位語其實一般都是廢話，等同于前面的詞。

巧妙地使用同位語，可以把單調(diào)的句子變得錯落有致、抑揚頓挫。

it does provide us with: does在句中表強調(diào)，翻譯成“確實”。

⑥ Only in this way can… realize… and can… be… and thus can… be…：排比句，短促有力，氣勢強大，使得對未來的展望顯得信心十足！

普通的被考生用爛了的這個句型：Only in this way can we live in a harmonious society，被本文的作者巧妙地改寫成了一個精彩的排比句。

五、節(jié)約資源

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。

佳作妙譯

水資源一度被誤認(rèn)為是一種無限的可再生資源，實際上，水資源是非常有限且寶貴的。有幸的是現(xiàn)在公眾開始關(guān)注這一問題了。如圖所示，一只可愛的快樂小豬存錢罐積攢著水龍頭里流出的每一滴水，就像存錢一樣。

然而，水資源短缺問題仍然威脅著全人類的生存和發(fā)展。浪費水的現(xiàn)象在日常生活中仍然隨處可見。例如，經(jīng)常有粗心大意者忘記關(guān)水龍頭。更有甚者認(rèn)為自己繳了水費就有權(quán)浪費，與他人無關(guān)。事實上，水資源不僅在生活中必不可少，在工農(nóng)業(yè)生產(chǎn)中也是不可或缺的。水資源是全人類共同的財富，很難想象當(dāng)沒有水的時候世界會是什么樣子。

雖然越來越多的人已經(jīng)認(rèn)識到了這種緊迫性，但是仍然要采取進一步的措施。從宏觀層面上講，全世界應(yīng)該共同努力反對浪費水。從微觀層面上講，要進行廣泛的宣傳活動。比如在電視臺播出關(guān)于如何節(jié)水的節(jié)目。節(jié)約用水就是存儲幸福，只有節(jié)約用水才能為子孫后代存儲更好的生活。

名師點評

① It is fortunate that now the public is starting to pay attention: 來自于2005年閱讀真題，原句是這樣的：Fortunately, the White House is starting to pay attention。

歷年真題是一座巨大的寶庫，廣大考生一定要學(xué)會充分利用這寶貴的資源！

② 第二段開頭，用了一個轉(zhuǎn)折詞，也就是“起承轉(zhuǎn)合”中的所謂的“轉(zhuǎn)”，把這篇作文改造成了一篇社會問題型作文，也就是大家最擅長寫的作文。

③ In fact, so precious is water that we cannot afford to waste it: 倒裝句，表語提前，句子倒裝。

倒裝句寫法：

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

第二步：表語precious提前。

第三步：主謂倒置，變成So precious is water that we cannot afford to waste it。

普通的so… that… 句型，也能被化腐朽為神奇，成為鉆石加分句型！

④ indispensable: 不可或缺的，替換important的一個很好的詞匯。

順便講一個英譯漢的技巧：大家可以看到，在譯文中，這句話被翻譯兩次：必不可少、不可或缺。

因為原文中出現(xiàn)了：not only… but also，所以這個單詞被拆開翻譯成了兩個近義詞，以使行文更加通順。

⑤ what the world would be like：注意賓語從句必須用陳述語序。

⑥ become aware of: 意識到。意思和用法都等同于be conscious of。后邊接詞語。

⑦ 非常重要：一般而言，歷年真題中談到的正面話題，或者人生哲理類的文章，有可能題目要求會變成：

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。

也就是第三段并非發(fā)表個人評論(建議措施)，而是舉例，這時候就需要我們?nèi)フ{(diào)整一下文章的敘述方法。

這種情況下，我們可以把結(jié)尾段調(diào)整為：

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。

這樣的話，結(jié)尾段就從建議措施，變成了論證文章的示例。

可見，隨機應(yīng)變，對寫好考研作文也很重要。

六、面對人生與社會：樂觀與豁達

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。
