C类：两代关系与家庭话题

　　Topic 6:爱幼不敬老

　　此类题目最近的题源是2005年"养老足球赛"及2003年"温室的的花朵"这两篇;特提供以下范文一篇，以供参考(此范文选自《考研英语高分写作100篇》由北京新东方英联邦部门总监何刚老师及天津新东方学校校长印建坤老师共同编著。范文质量很高，就直接引用，特此申明，并向两位新东方前辈致谢。)

　　As can be seen from thepicture, the department in a store which sells nutritive products for childrenis surrounded by crowds of parents, making the salespeople extremely busy. In contrast, the neighboring department that sells similar products for the elderly seems rather deserted by customers. Its saleswoman feels so bored that she can not resist falling asleep.

　　The picture mirrors a common social phenomenon from a unique angle-people tend to care more for the next generation than the previous one. On the one hand, young couples dote on children, most of whom are the "only children". Parents endeavor to prepare their kids for a bright future by raising them healthily. On the other hand,young couples fail to spend time with their old parents, and some of them are even too mean to provide the old with at least a decent living environment.

　　I think such a trend is quite abnormal and distressing. Filial duty used to be the most highly prized virtue among the Chinese for over two thousand years. Busy as people are, the duty should not be easily shirked. Supplying our old parents with material and emotional supportsis not only a repayment to them, but can also set a good example to educate theyouth. (214words)

　　从图中我们可以看到，一家商店中的儿童营养品专柜前挤满了父母们，以至于售货员几乎要忙不过来了。而隔壁的老年营养品专柜看起来似乎已经被顾客们遗忘了。这个售货员甚至无聊得睡着了。

　　这幅图从一个独特的视角反映了一个普遍的社会现象，即人们对于下一代的关心超过了上一代。一方面，年轻的夫妇们把大部分的注意力都放在他们的独生子女身上，让他们健康地成长并为他们创造美好的未来。另一方面，年轻夫妇们没能花时间和他们的老父母们在一起，有一些人甚至吝啬得不肯给父母提供像样的居住环境。

　　我认为这是一个非常不正常和令人沮丧的现象。子女孝敬老人的义务一直是中国两千多年的历史中最为推崇的美德。现代人即使非常忙，但也不应该把这一义务抛之脑后。为父母们提供物质和精神上的关爱和支持不仅是对他们的回报，也为教育年轻一代树立了榜样。

　　特别提示：建议考生，准备以下"啃老族 boomerang kids"、"就业难 graduates' unemployment"等与青少年相关的话题;两代沟通话题，也可以关注下。

　　D类：环境与资源话题

　　此类题目最近的题源是2011年考研"旅游景区环境破坏";类似题目在2012年12月22日的六级考试中"地球可以满足人们的需求，却满足不了人们的贪婪"关于资源过度开发，也已经考察;属于热点话题，应该有所准备。

　　Topic 7：Air pollution 雾都与空气污染

　　The cartoon vividly reveals the phenomenon of air pollution or the declineof air quality. Causes of this issue appears to be complicated and mixed: firstly, vehicle exhaust gases could be one of the most leading causes. With the improvement of economy and people's living standard, more and more urban inhabitants own their private cars. More automobiles will inevitably generate more exhaust gases. Additionally, household appliances widely used in cities also release a great amount of carbon dioxide gases, which further intensifies air pollution. Last but not least, many factories around the cities emit large quantities of untreated and poinsonous gases, which should also be responsible for the decline of air quality.

　　It is undeniable that air pollution will exert a detrimental impact on many aspects of people's life. For example, many diseases such cough，skin problems and lang cancer are mainly caused by it. Hence, it is about time that we should begin to take some measures to reverse the inexorable decline in the air quality. (167words)

　　此图生动地揭示了空气污染和空气质量下降的现象。这个问题的原因显得比较复杂：首先，机动车的尾气排放是主要原因。随着经济的发展和人们生活水平的提高，越来越多的城市居民都拥有了自己的汽车，而更多地汽车势必带来大量的尾气排放。其次，城市里广泛使用的家用电器排放了大量的二氧化碳，这也进一步加剧了空气污染。最后，城市周边的很多的工厂，也每天向空气中排放大量的未经处理的有毒气体,这也导致了空气质量的下降。

　　无可否认，空气污染会对人们生活的诸多方面造成有害的影响。比如，类似咳嗽、皮肤病和肺癌等很多疾病就主要是由空气污染造成的。因此，我们是时候开始采取一些行动来扭转空气质量的不可逆转的下滑了。

　　Topic 8：Thrift and waste 节约与浪费

　　Symptoms of waste in our soceity are not difficult to find. Lotsof foods on table which could not be eated at a time are thrown away casually. Besides, new clothes deemed out of fashion are also discarded by people. Last but not least, people without habits of turning off the faucet or power switchin time abound in our life, they waste water and electricity without evenrealizing it. Such careless waste can mostly be attributed to the absence of the consciousness of thrift. People today place a higher value on exploiting resources，while they overlook conserving and economizing resources.

　　There is an old saying in China,"waste is shameful, thrif noble."Definitely, China has always been a country which celebrates thrift and distastes waste. If this trend is to be left unfettered, it will not only waste financial and material resources,but also damage Chinese traditional virtue or even impair the interests of our future generations. Perhaps, it is about time we began to address this issue.(172 words)

　　在我们的社会中，浪费的现象并不难发现。满桌的没有吃完的食物被人们随意的扔掉;再者，崭新的却被认为跟不上时尚的衣服也被人扔掉了;最后，那些没有及时关掉水龙头和电源开关习惯的人在我们生活中大量存在，他们在毫无意识的情况下浪费了水和电。这些漫不经心的浪费大多数可以归结为节约意识的匮乏。现在的人似乎更重视开发资源，而忽视了保护资源和节约资源。

　　中国有句老话："浪费是可耻的，节约是高尚的"。的确，中国自古就是一个崇尚节约，反对浪费的国家。当前这种浪费之风如果得不到有效遏止的话，不仅会浪费宝贵资源，损失财力物力，甚至会破坏中国的传统美德以及子孙后代的利益。也许，我们是时候想一些办法解决这个问题了。
