It goes without saying that this picture aims at revealing a current problem: some organizations pose ridiculous conditions when recruiting new hires.In this drawing, a company is only willing to hire those who were born in the year of dog, a requirement that surprises and frightens many job applicants.Even a dog is wondering whether there is a higher possibility for it to be employed than a human.It seems to me that the artist is sending a message about the importance of a fair talent market which is currently absent in our society.Though the drawing is a little exaggerated, it is not rare for us to find in some recruitment advertisements discrimination of age, gender, educational background, and sometimes even height, which is quite humiliating.If we let this situation of physical traits outweighing actual ability to continue, it not only harms many job applicants' confidence and impedes their career path, but also prevents organizations from discovering potential talents.Accordingly, we urgently call for a healthy recruitment market that encourages fair competition.For one thing, employers and their HR need to realize that a just hiring process, in fact, benefits the performance of their organization.For another, relevant regulations should also be enacted and improved so that discrimination in recruitment can be sued and punished.譯文： 毫無疑問，這幅圖意在揭示一個當今的問題：一些機構在招聘新雇員的時候提出了荒唐的條件。在圖中，一個公司只愿意聘用屬狗的人，因而嚇退了不少求職者。甚至連一只狗都在想也許它比人類有更大的可能性得到這份工作。看起來作畫者是想給我們傳遞這樣一個信息，那就是強調現今社會中缺乏一個公平的人才市場。盡管這幅圖有點夸張，但是我們卻經常能在一些招聘廣告中發現各種歧視現象，包括年齡歧視、性別歧視、教育背景歧視，有時甚至還有身高歧視，非常污辱人。如果我們讓這種強調身體特征而不是實際能力的情況繼續下去的話，不僅會傷害到求職者的信心、阻礙他們的職業發展，而且也讓很多機構失去了潛在的人才。

因此，我們呼吁要建立一個健康的鼓勵競爭的招聘市場。一方面，雇主和他們的人力資源經理們應該意識到，一個良好的招聘環境實際上有利于他們自己的機構發展。另一方面，我們也要建立相關的法律法規，從而使招聘歧視現象得到訴訟和懲罰。閃光詞匯及詞組：

The picture depicts a scenario in which an ancient royal palace is being recklessly torn down.In front of the gate are two stone lions crying and hugging farewell, realizing their inevitable destiny of being destroyed.Besides, in the dust we can vaguely read a sign stating that the site was once deemed a municipal culture relic.The picture sharply addresses the serious conflict of the conflict between urban development and the preservation of historical sites.The issue is especially controversial in China, where there exists rich history, diversified tradition and cultural deposits.Take Beijing as an example, the municipal government is still trapped in the dilemma between constructing more modern buildings and maintaining the prestigious courtyard houses.Moreover, a brief survey on the internet reveals learn numerous tragedies about the irreversible damage to historical sites.In my opinion, a balanced economic development is not necessarily accompanied by the sacrifice of history.On the contrary, historical sites are the memory of our country's glorious past, which can enable citizens' identity with the nation.Therefore, we must work out a win-win strategy to promote economic development while retaining our cultural heritage.Meanwhile, a proper management of these sites can also bring a considerable amount of tourism income.譯文：

這幅圖描繪了一個古老的王府正在被無情地拆掉的場景。建筑門前的兩只石獅子正在擁抱和泣別，因為它們意識到了自己即將被毀掉的命運。此外，在灰塵中我們依稀可以辨認出一塊X市級文物的標志。

這幅圖尖銳地反映了城市建設和歷史遺跡保留之間的沖突問題。這個問題在中國尤其具有爭議性，因為中國有著豐富的歷史、傳統和文化遺跡。以北京為例，其市政府一直處于建設更多的現代大樓和保留著名的四合院之間的矛盾。此外，我們在網上簡單地搜索一下就可以找到很多對歷史遺跡造成不可逆轉破壞的悲劇故事。

我認為，一個健康發展的經濟不一定要伴隨著歷史的犧牲。相反，歷史遺跡承載著我們國家光輝的過去，可以增強公民對于國家的認同感。因此，我們必須制定出促進經濟發展和保留文化遺產的雙贏戰略。同時，對于歷史遺跡的有效管理也可以帶來不菲的旅游收入。閃光詞匯及詞組：

In this interesting cartoon, a retailer finds out the reason why sales in his store decrease: customers are too busy talking on their cell phones that they can only spare one hand to hold the stuff they bought.The picture vividly portrays the omnipresence of cell phones, which are playing an important role in our ordinary life.The popularity of cell phones is mushrooming towards every corner of the world.The advantages and convenience brought by cell phones are obvious.First of all, a portable phone immensely facilitates the communication among individuals, as it takes mere seconds to call any cell phone bearer regardless of his location.Moreover, given the more frequent information exchanges, cell phones make businesses much easier.Sometimes a huge order is determined when people are traveling somewhere.However, people should be cautious of the excessive reliance on cell phones.It is not rare to hear complaints from women that their husbands do most of their business on the phone even at home.In my view, the machine is a useful component of our life, but is never the whole of our world.After all, the most effective communication is to spend time with some people who love and care.譯文：

在這幅有趣的漫畫中，一個零售商發現了他的商店銷量下降的原因：因為每個顧客都忙著用手機在通話，他們只能用一只手來拿他們買的東西。這幅圖生動地刻畫了手機在我們生活中的無所不在，及其重要的作用。手機正在朝世界的每一個角落普及，同時其價格也在不斷下降。手機的優點和便利性是顯而易見的。首先，這種可以隨處攜帶的電話機大大方便了人們的交流，因為無論對方在何處，只要他有手機我們只要幾秒鐘就能夠給他打電話。此外，手機使信息交流更加頻繁，因此能夠促進商業的發展。有時候一筆巨大的訂單可能在人們的旅途過程中達成的。但是，人們也要警惕對于手機的過度依賴。我們經常可以聽到一些主婦們抱怨她們的丈夫即使在家時說的大部分話都是在手機上和別人在交談。我認為，手機是我們生活的重要組成部分，但不是我們的全部世界。畢竟，最有效的交流還是花時間和我們真正關愛的人談話。閃光詞匯及詞組：

As the old Chinese saying goes, only through reading thousands of books can one write fluently.It echoes with this picture in which a book is smiling with a symbolic candlelight on its top, indicating the enlightenment from books.The title of the picture further points out that reading books can enlighten and develop our thoughts with the help of other's thinking.The picture is meant to encourage people to read more books.As far as I am concerned, I think books are a treasury of all knowledge accumulated over thousands of years.Via reading books, we can not only learn what mankind has achieved, but can also be greatly inspired to develop and innovate on the basis of existing knowledge.This universal truth can be particularly proven in the academic field, where reading all previous literature of a specific discipline is of elementary significance to laying the foundation for new discoveries.A brief review of history about famous people with great accomplishments also demonstrates the fundamental importance of book-reading.Karl Marx, for example, had read so many books in the British Library before his writing of new theories that his footprints were left on the ground of the seat where he usually sat.The same principle applies to common people as well, and I am sure everybody can benefit from good books.譯文：

中國古語有云：讀書破萬卷，下筆如有神。這正符合該圖中的意境，上面一本帶著笑臉的書點燃了其頂部有象征意義的燭光，指明了書本啟蒙功能。該圖的題目進一步指出了讀書就是借助他人的思想開發自己的思想。

這幅圖意在鼓勵人們讀更多的書。我認為，書本就是人類通過幾千年世界積累的知識寶庫。通過讀書，我們不僅可以學到人們已經達到的成就，還可以在已有知識的基礎上受到啟發，從而進一步地發展和創新。這個普遍的真理尤其適用于學術界，任何一個學科的新發現都需要通過閱讀已有文獻來奠定基礎。

簡單地回顧一下歷史上有著杰出成就的名人更可以證明讀書的重要性。比如卡爾.馬克思在提出他的馬克思主義理論之前，在大英圖書館中讀了非常多的書、以至于他經常坐的那個位置下面都留下了他的腳印。同樣的道理也適用于普通人，我相信每一個人都能夠從好書中獲益。

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 on ANSWER SHEET 2.分析：

這又是一組對比的組圖，非常簡單明了。兩張圖的大背景都是暴風雨交加的惡劣天氣，在左邊的圖中，花朵在溫室中絢爛地開放；而右圖中，同樣的一朵花在離開了溫室之后就黯然凋謝了。組圖題為“溫室花朵經不起風雨”，考生稍加分析就可以發現該圖并不只是談論花朵，而更是指向了我們平時所說的“祖國的花朵”們，也就是孩子們，這就自然而然地和社會問題聯系在了一起。中國在實施了計劃生育之后，獨生子女們成為了家里的“小皇帝”、“小公主”，受到全家人的百般呵護，從小就在蜜罐中長大。這些孩子們人生道路幾乎都是一帆風順，沒有經歷過大的困難和挫折，因此一旦離開了父母的保護，就很容易由于經不起各種社會現實的打擊而一蹶不振。通過這番分析，我們就可以得出文章的主要論點，即受到過分溺愛的孩子們經不起挫折和逆境。

思路拓展：

獨生子女成長的問題在很大程度上牽涉到了中國的教育制度和教育方法等全方位的問題。我們可以聯想到現階段在教育界存在的其他熱點問題，如傳統灌輸教育和素質教育之間的關系、孩子的學習和娛樂之間的關系、學生們的全面發展問題、教育費用和教育負擔的問題、教育質量的問題、城鄉教育制度差別的問題、教育公平性問題等等。這些問題都是平時政府、民眾和媒體非常關注的問題，考生借助自己的大學生活背景也能夠了解許多相關的情況。應該說，教育類的話題對于考生說是一個比較熟悉、也相對比較簡單容易的話題。

范文：

As the title indicates, “greenhouse flowers cannot survive unpleasant weather”, the set of pictures apparently reminds us that excessive protection only leads to negative results.When a flower blossoms in the greenhouse despite of the external rain and thunder, it withers immediately once being moved out of its cozy haven.Children in China are always compared to “the flowers of our motherland”.It is alarming that a large portion of them are in danger of experiencing a similar misfortune to the flower in the picture.This is partly attributed to the birth of a generation of “only children”, who are quite pampered and spoiled by their parents.Leading a life full of success, love and sweetness, these children are quite ignorant of failure, hardship, and the taste of tears that abound in real life.Therefore, when they leave home, they might be overly sensitive to frustration and easily suffer depression that prevents them from a happy and promising future.This type of child is not what we hope for the future of our country.On the contrary, we need to nurture a generation that is fully prepared for independent life, so that it is ready to confront any challenge, adapt to changes of environment, and survive the heated competition in today’s world.譯文：

正如該圖的題目所顯示的那樣，“溫室里的花朵經不起風雨”，這組圖畫清楚地告訴我們過度的保護只會導致負面的結果。當外面打雷下雨的時候，一朵花卻能在溫室中生機勃勃地開放。可是一旦離開了這個舒適的避難所來到外面的時候，這朵花立刻就凋謝了。

在中國，孩子經常被比作“祖國的花朵”。但是，令人擔憂的是很多孩子有可能經歷圖中花朵的不幸。部分原因可以歸結為“獨生子女”一代的出生，這些孩子都被他們的父母慣壞了。他們的生活中只充滿了成功、愛和甜蜜，而他們都不懂什么是失敗、艱難，也很少嘗過眼淚的滋味，但是實際生活中卻是充滿了失敗、艱難和眼淚的。因此，他們可能會對挫折過于敏感、也很容易及沉湎于憂郁，使他們在踏入社會以后沒有一個幸福和充滿前景的未來。

這一類孩子決不是我們國家未來需要的人才。相反，我們需要培育一代能夠獨立生活的孩子，他們隨時準備面對任何挑戰、隨時適應環境的變化、并能夠在現代社會的激烈競爭中生存下來。

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)state your points of view.You should write on ANSWER SHEET 2.不對，我的標準答案是2+1=3，扣十分

范文：

As is described in the drawing, a student fails in a knowledge competition simply because his answer to one question, though being 100% correct, is not exactly the same as the so-called standard answer.It is discernable that other students are quite puzzled by why “1+2=3” is wrong while “2+1=3” is right.The drawing reminds its audience of a widespread phenomenon in the area of basic education in China, that is, educators stick blindly to fixed standards without allowing any room of flexibility or variation.Students are required to mechanically remember what is written in the books, but receive no encouragement to question, challenge, and disagree.Consequently, children’s creativity is largely limited or killed, which exerts a detrimental impact on their future development, especially in the current society which puts so much emphasis on creativity, innovation, and inventiveness.As far as I am concerned, there needs to be a comprehensive renovation in the educational system, where new educational concepts, such as to inspire creation, are installed.Only by new teaching methods other than stiff memorization can we cultivate children into talents who will meet the requirements that society demands.Likewise, this new tendency would also benefit educators themselves to realize their own potential.譯文：

正如圖中描繪的那樣，一個學生在一次智力競賽中的失敗僅僅是因為他的答案和所謂的標準答案不是完全一致，盡管他的答案也是完全正確的。我們可以看到其他學生對于為什么1+2=3是錯誤的而2+1=3是正確的感到十分疑惑。

這幅圖實際上是在提醒讀者在中國基礎教育界存在的一個普遍的負面現象，那就是教育者盲目地堅持標準，而不提供靈活和變化的空間。老師要求學生們機械地背誦書上的知識，但是從來不鼓勵學生質疑、提出挑戰或者不同見解。因此，孩子們的創造力受到了限制和扼殺，這對于他們的未來發展是有害的，特別是現代社會十分強調創新性和獨創性。

我認為需要對教育系統進行一次全面的革新，加入一些新的教育理念，如鼓勵創新等。我們只有通過新的教育方法、而不是死記硬背，才能把孩子們培養成為適合社會要求的人才。同樣，這種新的趨勢對于教育者自身也是有好處的，能夠使他們開發自己的潛能。

范文：

What is delineated in front of us is a pair of parents who are eager to cultivate their little child into a well-rounded person.The poor girl seems to have a quite tight schedule, as her father is teaching her how to paint while her mother is preparing for her violin class.The dullness of the kid’s eyes portrays her unwillingness and dislike to learn so many things after school.The drawing reflects a common phenomenon in China that parents are obsessed with the wish of their child’s future success, which is, though, very understandable.Particularly due to the one-child policy, the only child is the greatest hope of parents and is provided with all the available resources.Meanwhile, we sadly discover that this generation of only children is deprived of what used to be the fun of childhood, like running around, playing various games with friends, and climbing trees, all of which are replaced by numerous tutoring courses and art lessons.Admittedly, an early and diversified education benefits children in exploring their potentials.Nevertheless, I strongly contend that children are entitled to enjoy a happy childhood filled with games and fun, instead of tedious classes.An appropriate extent of freedom can only do kids good, by promoting their comprehensive development both mentally and physically.譯文：

呈現在我們面前的是一對急于把他們的小女兒培養成為一個通才的夫妻。這個可憐的小女孩看起來時間表排得滿滿的，她的父親正在教她畫畫，而母親正在為她準備小提琴課。但是，這個孩子呆滯的雙眼卻泄漏了她不愿意在放學之后還學這么多東西的心情。

這幅圖反映了一個在中國很普遍的現象，即父母們都望子成龍，盡管這是一個我們都能夠理解的現象。由于獨生子女政策，這些孩子們都是父母最大的希望，父母給了他們一切可以得到的資源。同時，我們卻悲哀地發現這一代孩子被剝奪了屬于兒童的快樂，如四處亂跑、和小朋友們玩各種游戲、爬樹等，這些都被無數的輔導和訓練代替了。

我們承認較早的多樣化教育有利于開發孩子們的潛能。但是，我強烈地認為孩子們應該擁有一個充滿游戲和快樂的童年，而不只是乏味的課程。適度的自由對孩子們是有好處的，可以促進他們身體和智力上的全面發展。

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)state your point of view.范文：

The picture shows a boy who is crossing a river by stepping on his peasant parents’ heads like stones.The river symbolizes the heavy financial load on rural parents to support their children’s advanced education.As is quoted in the picture, a family in countryside can barely afford a high school student, not to mention a college student.The picture apparently mirrors an increasingly common social phenomenon in China—the hiking cost of education in contrast with the tiny income of the rural population.For one thing, the problem is partially attributed to the present disparity of wealth distribution.Sometimes the college tuition per student equals the annual income of a rural family.For another, colleges and other educational institutions fail to provide financial tools to assist students from poor areas.For example, the application for scholarship and student loan is usually so complicated that the procedure seems to take forever, while students see no trace of money.In my opinion, the government needs to reform the educational system with measures that can show immediate effect.Cutting tuition and other expenses proves to be most beneficial to students.Further, a large-scale reform at the macroeconomic level to bridge the gap between the rich and the poor is a basic solution to this issue.譯文：

這幅圖一個男孩子正在把他的農民父母的頭作為墊腳石來跨過一條河。這條河象征了農村的父母們為了供孩子們接受高等教育所承受的巨大財政負擔。正如圖中所說的那樣，在農村養一個高中生都很困難，更不用說是大學生了。

這很顯然反映了在當今中國一個越來越普遍的社會現象——快速增長的教育費用和農村人口的微薄收入之家的差別。一方面，這個問題部分歸咎于現有的財富分布不均。有時候一個大學生一年的學費就相當于一個農村家庭一年的收入。另一方面，大學和其他的教育機構沒有通過各種各樣的融資工具來幫助來自貧困地區的學生。比如說，申請獎學金和貸款的程序都非常復雜、需要花很長時間，而學生們卻很難真正拿到錢。

我認為，政府應該改革教育系統，采取一些立竿見影的措施。降低學費和雜費被證明是對學生最有利的。此外，解決這個問題的根本措施在于在宏觀經濟的層面上進行一個大規模的改革，從而縮小貧富差距。
