考博作文汇总1.北京大学（2013）Directions: Read the following paragraph and then write a response paper of about 250 to 300 English words. Write it neatly on ANSWER SHEET (2). When there is a heavy rain in the north of China, cities and towns are oftenflooded. But heavy rains in southern cities seldom pose severe problems. When there is a heavy snow in the south of China, cities and towns often run into chaos. But heavy snows in the north seldom pose severe problems. What should city planners do to deal with this and what do you think of the different ways of dealing with it?【参考范文】Different Ways to Solve Different Problems in Northern andSouthern ChinaThe heavy snow in 2008, which stopped me from returning home to enjoy the Spring Festival with my family, left a very deep impression in my memory. That snow caused severe losses in southern cities. And in this summer, I experienced “rain flood” in Beijing, which even killed some people. So, I wonder why the heavy snow and heavy rain can cause so much damage respectively in southern and northern China, while heavy rain or snow seldom causes severe damage in southern or northern China. It is a question deserves the city planners to carefully think over.Generally speaking, to solve these two problems, the city planners first need to reconstruct the system of drains, which is very important to drain the land dry when there is a heavy rain or snow melt. To avoid a heavy snow causing chaos in southern China, the city planners should formulate an emergency plan. For instance, they can coordinate with northern cities and store much anti-icing fluid. When the heavy snow continues for several days, they can organize cleaners to melt the ice with anti-icing fluid, ensuring the security and smoothness for transportation. For northern cities, the most effective way is to improve the draining system and reconstruct roads which are easy to be flooded.In a word, northern and southern China face different situations, which should be solved by different ways. The city planners should well plan the city and carefully construct the system of drains to avoid such natural disasters.译文：解决中国南方和华南地区不同问题的不同方法2008年的大雪，阻止了我回家与我的家人一起享受春节，在我的记忆中留下了非常深刻的印象。
那雪在南方城市造成严重损失。
在今年夏天，我在北京经历了“雨洪”，甚至杀了一些人。
所以，我不知道为什么大雪和大雨能够分别在中国南方和北方造成这么大的伤害，而大雨或雪很少在中国南方或北方造成严重的损害。
这是一个值得城市规划者认真思考的问题。
一般来说，为了解决这两个问题，城市规划者首先需要重建排水系统，这是非常重要的，当大雨或融雪时排干土地。
为了避免大雪在中国南方造成混乱，城市规划者应制定应急预案。
例如，它们可以与北方城市协调并存储许多防冰液。
当大雪持续了几天时，他们可以组织清洁剂用防冰液融化冰，确保运输的安全性和平稳性。
对于北方城市，最有效的方法是改善排水系统和重建容易被淹没的道路。
总之，中国北方和南方面临着不同的情况，应该通过不同的方式解决。
城市规划者应该对城市进行规划，并精心构建排水系统，以避免这种自然灾害。
2.北京大学(2012)Directions: Read the following paragraph and then write a response paper of about 250 to 300 English words. Write it neatly on ANSWER SHEET (2).A lot of people today are animal rights advocates. Some of them are very passionate and even quite radical about the issue. But others argue that “human rights” will always take priority. In fact, in many places even the most basic human rights are not adequately protected. So why animal rights? What do you think? And why?【参考范文】Animal Rights Should Be RespectedThere are growing concerning among general public about the issue of “Should animal rights be respected?”. Some people even believe that the most basic human rights are not adequately protected in many places, let alone animal rights. But in fact, the purpose of advocating animal rights is to arouse people to love and protect animals. It is wise for us to better understand the relationship between human and animals.First and foremost of all, we should respect the intrinsic value of animals rather than regard them as tools, which is precisely deduced from the philosophical demonstration of human beings based on their intrinsic value, or at least they have the right of being sheltered from abuse. It can be said that there is a mutual promotion between animal rights and human rights. In the second place, to protect animals is to protect ourselves. The survival of wildlife is facing with a variety of threats due to the deterioration of the environment and human hunting. For instance, there are over 100 kinds of many genes that help crops to overcome the harsh climate or even a new plague.All in all, it is really important to build a harmonious society respecting life. In such a society, human life is to be respected, and animal life is also to be cared about. Thus, it is worthy of thinking about how to protect animal rights.译文：动物权利应受到尊重一般公众对“应该尊重动物权利”的问题越来越关注。
