E类:文化教育话题
此类题目最近的题源是2012年考研"文化火锅";2013年6月15日的四级考试考察了"阅读文学的重要性"的话题;信息时代改变了很多东西,其中之一就是文化。文化现象在当代中国是永恒的话题;而且,话题可能集中于负面现象:文化流失。目前,国内各大电视台最火爆的节目,有"汉字拼写大赛"、"成语英雄"等,针对的都是中国人国语、中国传统文化话题;另外,2013年北京市高考改革,加大语文分值;算盘成为中国第30项非物质文化遗产等,都紧密和文化相关,因此,此类题目考生应该予以重视。
Topic 9:The loss of traditional culture 传统文化流失
From the cartoon given above, we can observe that there are two people watching Peking Opera. With the actress playing vividly on thestage, the old man is watching attentively. However, the little boy sitting beside does not even cast a glance at the actress and falls sleepy. It isobvious that he shows no interest in Peking Opera.
The cartoon reflects an interesting and common aspect in our daily life. However, from a deeper perspective, it also reveals the gradual loss of traditional culture in modern society. What exactly contribute to this phenomenon ? Possible reasons could be listed as follows: for one thing, quitea few people, especially youngsters, hold that Chinese traditional culture is out-dated and of little use in modern society. Perhaps, from their perspectives,traditional culture form the distant past can hardly adapt to or keep pace with the ever-changing new world. Moreover, exotic cultures, to some extent, have also posed a great challenge to the traditional culture of China. As we can see, a large body of people have been attracted by foreign cultures which feature diversity, novelty and richness-Crazy fans of foreign TV programs, electronic products or even ways of life abound in our daily life.
However, no one can deny the signficance of Chinesetraditional cultre. It is the crystallization of Chinese wisdom and civilization. An individual or nation showing no respect to the essence oftraditional culture cannot be expected to develop and be stronger. Hence, something could and should be done to reverse the inexorable decline in the emphasis of Chinese traditional culture. (263)
如上图所示,我们可以看到有两个人正在看京剧。当女演员生动地在舞台上表演,老者专心致志地看着。然而,坐在边上的小男孩甚至都没有瞥一眼女演员并且睡着了。很明显,他对京剧没有什么兴趣。
这幅图画反应了日常生活中有趣而又平常的一面。然而,从更为深层的角度来看,它也揭示了现代社会中的传统文化的流失。是什么导致了这个现象?是什么导致了这个现象?可能的理由可以罗列如下:首先,相当多的人,尤其是年轻人,认为中国传统文化在现代社会中过时而且没有什么用了。也许,在他们看来,来自遥远的过去的传统文化几乎是不能适应和跟得上持续变化的新世界的。再者,外来文化也在某种程度上对传统文化造成了巨大的威胁。正如我们所能看见的,相当多的人已经被以多样性、新颖性和丰富性为特征的国外文化吸引了- 对国外电视节目,电子产品甚至是生活方式狂热的粉丝在我们生活中比比皆是。
然而,没有人可以否认传统文化的重要性。它是中国智慧和文明的结晶。一个不尊重传统文化的精髓的民族和个人是无法发展和强大的。因此,我们可以也应该做一些事情,来扭转现在人们对中国传统文化的重视的不可遏制的下降。
参考阅读及浏览范文:On reading 阅读的重要性(2013年6月四级写作真题)
Fromthe cartoon given above, we can observe that there is a teacher and a student standing in a classroom. When receiving a literature book from her teacher, the little girl seems to be quite nervous and unwilling. Having observed her student's response, the teacher replies that "Just think of it as if you are reading a long text-message."
The cartoon aims at informing us of the phenomenon that quite a few students or youngsters are reluctant to read literature nowadays. With the Internet and electronic communication tools such as microblogs, mobile phones and QQ becoming increasingly widespread, a considerable number of people are more used to reading short context. They hold that, compared with long contents such as literature, these short ones are more convenient and time-saving. What's more, many students refuse to read long message such as literature in that they believe that literature is obsolete, boring and of little use in modern society. What they are fascinated with are the things related to high fashion, curiosity or novelty.
However, no one can disclaim the importance of reading literature. It enables people to enrich their knowledge and expand their horizons. Moreover, reading literature also inspires people tothink critically and independently. Last but not least, by spending time in reading literature, we can also develop and perfect human personality such as being patient and optimistic. Hence, why not just get out of the reality temporarily and spend some time on literature ? (244 words)
如图所示,我们可以观察到有一位老师和一个学生正站在教室里。当这个女学生收到老师给的文学书本的时候,她显得紧张而又不情愿。观察到女学生这种反应后,老师回应到:"你只要把它想成是正在读一条很长的短信就可以了。"
这幅漫画告诉我们一个现象,那就是,相当多的学生,或者是年轻人如今都不太乐意阅读文学作品。随着诸如微博、手机和QQ这样的互联网或电子通讯工具变得越来越普及,大多数的人更加适应于阅读短小的信息内容。他们认为,比起文学这样的长篇内容,这些短小内容更加方便和省时。再者,相当多的学生拒绝阅读文学作品是因为他们认为文学作品非常枯燥,并且在现代社会用处很小。他们着迷的是那些于时尚、新奇和新颖相关的事物。
然而,我们不能否认阅读文学作品的重要性。它能使我们丰富知识,拓宽视野。而且,阅读文学作品可以激发我们批判性地、独立性地思考问题。最后,通过花时间在阅读文学作品上,我们也可以发展和完善我们的人格,比如变得有耐心、乐观。因此,我们威慑么不可以暂时的远离现实而花一些时间在文学上呢?
特别提示:那天,突发奇想,会不会考一个"人才流失-月亮还是外国的圆"这个话题?完全没有理性根据的预测,只是凭借直觉(instinct)的猜想;这道题目,也建议考生建议模仿"传统文化流失"的模式,进行写作。人才流失叫做"brain drain,直译'大脑流出'";论述原因的时候,可以从:一、很多出国留学的学生认为国外的就业形势更加理想,薪资更加丰厚,生活更加多元;二、他们认为国外的发展空间更大,而且对下一代而言,有更好的教育环境。最后一段,可以写:国外在很多方面确实超过了国内,然而,一个人也不能忘记自己的祖国。只要个人努力,不管在那片土壤上,都可以获得成功,过上幸福的生活。(就当翻译试试吧。)
个人觉得这幅图画挺有意思的,可以提现出"人才流失"的味道,纯属娱乐哈!
F类:公德话题
此类题目最近的题源是1998年"母鸡下蛋",论述商业领域过度承诺或者诚信缺失话题;此后,就未曾考察;当今社会,人情冷漠、"见老不扶"等现象多啊,也都提现了"人情冷,社会公德下滑"这一主题。是超级热点,却一直不考,因此考生也得准备。
Topic 10:The loss of social morality 社会公德流失
From the cartoon given above,we can observe that there are many people in a bus. When seeing that an elder man is entering into the bus, the old man near the seat just stands up instantly, saying" please have a seat here" and offers his seat to the elder one. However, all of the other people around,young and healty, show no intention of giving seats to the old and infirm man.
The cartoon aims at informing us of the phenomenon of the gradual loss of social morality. Quite a few people today are selfish and egocentric. when putting self-interest in the first place, they tend to overlook others' benefit or feelings and become nonchalant. Moreover, this phenomenon can also be attributed to people's concern that their social morality, which canbe best expressed through kindness, hospitality and warm-hearted behaviors,will sometimes invite unnecessary trouble.
However,no one can deny the importance of social morality. It is conducive to the harmony of society, people with the awareness of social morality are more likely to provide others with a helping hand, endeavor to abide by social orders and curb on their undesirable behaviors. Confronted with the inexorable decline in the emphasis of social ethics, The authorities should launch a large-scale educational campaign to create an atmosphere of respecting social ethics. Coinciding with this move, we ourselves should also enhance the consciousness of it. (241words)
根据上面所给的这幅漫画,我们看到有很多人在bus上。当看到有个老者正进入车子,一旁的老人马上站了起来,并说:"请坐我的位置"然后把座位让了出来。然而,周围其余的所有人,他们年轻而且健康,却没有显示出任何想要给这位年长且虚弱的老人让位的想法。
这幅漫画旨在告诉我们一个现象,关于社会公德的逐渐缺失。现在相当多的人都很自私,以自我为中心。而当把自己的个人利益放在首位的时候,他们往往就会忽略别人的利益和感受并且变得冷漠。再者,这个现象也可以归因于人们的某种担心,他们担心通过友善、热忱和热心的行为而得到良好展示的社会公德心,有些时候反倒会给他们带来不必要的麻烦。
然而,没有人可以忽略社会公德的重要性。它有利于社会和谐,拥有社会公德意识的人们更有可能为别人提供援助之手,努力地遵守社会规则并且约束自己的不良行为。面对对社会公德的重要性的不可抑制的下滑,政府应该开展大规模的教育运动来营造出一种尊重社会公德的氛围。与此同时,我们自己也应该提高意识。
特别提示:鉴于篇幅所限,也不列举类似的话题,包括:产品质量下滑(the quality decline of products),
食品安全问题(food security),假冒伪劣产品(fake and inferior products),酒后驾驶(drunken driving)以及学术抄袭与作弊(academic plagiarism/ cheating此题在《英语(二)dian点睛十篇范文》最后一篇已经涉略,可以去看看),盗版现象(piracy)。
这类话题比较辛辣,刺激得很,过于敏感,个人愚见,命题可能性不是非常大。不过到底会不会考,只待2014年1月4日考完才可盖棺定论。
后记:
1.以上话题,标注"Topic+数字"的范文,可以背诵,至少熟读,摘抄里面的表达、单词和论据;
2.其余参考范文(真题重现),皆为对考研英语写作命题精神的试探析,考前只需要预览文章结构即可。
3. 十篇范文,如果都不中,且贻笑大方,也属个人造诣不深,能力有限,望海涵!;但是依然希望相关表达可以在考试中运用出来。
4. 考前建议考生,一定要购买"考研英语答题卡",(淘宝上搜索一下,一家广东地区的店独家有售)进行真题预演,熟悉答题卡样式,提前适应考试环境;提前调试整个卷面的排版布局、字体安排、字迹间距、写多少行空多少行、左右两边都要对齐。
5. 2013年开始的考研,答题卡从A4纸变成了更大的A3纸,反面整页都是用来写作文的,间距也较之以前增大了,
建议考生用黑色的、0.5mm或者0.7mm的水性笔、签字笔答题;字不要写的过小、过细,写大,写粗,方便阅卷。
以上范文,摘自北京新东方国内部无忧考研VIP一对一学员专用的《2014-2015考研英语写作讲义》的部分内容,望对您有用。
最后,预祝全国考生:金榜题名凌云壮志气贯长虹!
