剖析近十年真題
第一節(jié) 剖析2006年真題
一、2006年真題解說
2006年考研英語寫作分為A、B兩部分。以下對這兩部分分別加以介紹。
Part A
51. Directions:
You want to contribute to Project Hope by offering financial aid to a child in a remote area. Write a letter to the department concerned, asking them to help find a candidate. You should specify what kind of child you want to help and how you will carry out your plan.
Write your letter in no less than 100 words. Write it neatly on ANSWER SHEET 2.
Do not sign your own name at the end of the letter; use “Li Ming” instead.
Do not write the address. (10 points)
在考研英語中,這是第二次考查應(yīng)用文寫作,模式仍是書信體。因此,像2005年一樣,考生在寫作時應(yīng)注意:1.覆蓋全部信息;2.注意格式和語域;3.語言準確,內(nèi)容合理;4.不要過多使用指令中的英語表達。今年的寫作主題是希望工程,這是1995年和2001年考研作文中曾經(jīng)兩次涉及過的話題。一般考生應(yīng)覺得有內(nèi)容發(fā)揮。不過,今年的應(yīng)用文指令部分比去年要難一些,為方便考生復習,特將指令中關(guān)鍵的第一段翻譯出來,供考生參考:
你打算資助邊遠地區(qū)的一個孩子,為希望工程做點貢獻。給有關(guān)單位寫一封信,請他們幫助尋找一個候選的孩子。你應(yīng)當詳細說明你需要幫助的那個孩子的情況,以及你將如何實施你的資助計劃。
根據(jù)以上要求,考生在寫作中應(yīng)注意三個信息點: 1.說明自己的想法和要求; 2.介紹孩子的情況;3.如何實施資助計劃。小作文命題看得出頗費心機,刻意考一種按常規(guī)難以歸類的書信模式,但不難寫。同學們只要照指令的情景和提綱部分擴展出100字就行。醫(yī)學全在線www.med126.com
Part B
52. Directions:
Study the following photos carefully and write an essay in which you should
1. describe the photos briefly,
2. interpret the social phenomenon reflected by them, and
3. give your point of view.
You should write 160-200 words neatly on ANSWER SHEET 2. (20 points)
2006年短文寫作還是圖畫作文。給了兩幅畫面,一幅是一個人臉上刻著貝克漢姆的名字,另一幅是一個人花了300元剪了一個小貝的發(fā)型,兩幅圖均透露出社會上一些人崇拜偶像的現(xiàn)象,讓考生對這種現(xiàn)象做出評價,很新鮮、靈活。感覺以往的英語作文試題大多考傳統(tǒng)型的,如孝敬父母,毅力恒心等,這次讓人很意外。
考生在看到大作文的第一眼是感覺親切而高興,覺得非常有趣,很有東西寫。因為貝克漢姆對年輕人來說,實在是太熟悉太有誘惑力了,小貝的出場,無論對男生女生,通常引起的都是狂熱與奔放。但是此時要靜下心來,邏輯嚴密、條理清晰、有條不紊地去論述一下偶像崇拜的問題,很多考生馬上又坐不住板凳了。要么提筆忘字,要么干脆無話可言,再或者干巴巴說幾句就再也不能繼續(xù)下去。其實,文章探討的主題應(yīng)該是當今社會出現(xiàn)的年輕人對明星盲目崇拜的現(xiàn)象。只要圍繞這個主題寫就行,至于從哪個角度去討論,自己的具體看法是什么,那不是最重要的。關(guān)鍵是考生的文章觀點要明確而清晰,尤其是,詞句的表達要流暢規(guī)范。
圖畫作文通常寫法:第一段揭示現(xiàn)象,描述圖畫;第二段發(fā)表自己對這個現(xiàn)象的分析議論;第三段針對該現(xiàn)象提出自己的看法或發(fā)出自己的倡導?蓪懶院軓。
二、經(jīng)典范文賞析

Part B 范文
There are two pictures:The first is a photo of a man’s face on which the name of the famous football player Beckham can be seen. In the second picture we can see a man in a barbershop, his hair being done in Beckham’s hair style, costing him 300 yuan.
Obviously,the two persons are fans of Beckham.These pictures, although a little exaggerating and satirical at first glance, can make us ponder: why does this phenomenon appear?As is known to all, with the development of modern communications, more and more people are influenced by some socalled “stars”. Therefore,we have many fans who run after and imitate them-film stars,athletic stars, even stars of supergirl singers. First,they do so because they admire them and want to obtain their fame and reputation. Second, although there is no denying the fact that some people do this out of pure adiration, yet, some just want to become wealthy overnight-without hard work, without sweat, just effortlessly.
Anyway, in my opinion, our government must educate our people-especially the youth-that some famous people get their reputation because they have made great contribution to our society-such as Liu Xiang. And we ourselves also must understand that their achievement is not easy job. We’d better turn our admiration into practical action to learn from them so that we can make even greater contribution to our country in the future.
譯文
這里有兩幅圖:第一張是一個人臉上寫著著名足球運動員貝克漢姆的名字。第二張我們可以看見一個人在理發(fā)店里,他讓理發(fā)師按照貝克漢姆的發(fā)型給他做頭發(fā),花了300元。
很明顯,這兩人是貝克漢姆的崇拜者。這些圖片,盡管第一眼看上去有些夸張和諷刺,仍然可以使我們深思:為什么會發(fā)生這種現(xiàn)象?眾所周知的是:隨著現(xiàn)代傳媒的發(fā)展,越來越多的人都被這樣的“明星”影響。因此,有很多追隨和模仿他們的追星族——電影明星,體育明星,甚至“超女”歌星。第一,他們這樣做是因為他們崇拜他們,想得到他們的名聲。第二,盡管不可否認的是一些人這么做純粹是出于崇拜,但是,也有一些人只是想一夜暴富——不需努力工作,不需流汗,只是無需努力。
以我的觀點,無論如何,我們的政府都必須教育人民——尤其是年輕人—— 一些著名的人得到他們的聲譽是因為他們?yōu)槲覀兊纳鐣龀隽司薮筘暙I——比如劉翔。我們自己必須理解他們的成就是不容易的。我們最好將我們的崇拜轉(zhuǎn)化為學習他們的實際行動,這樣我們才能在將來為我們國家做出更大的貢獻。
