2015年考研英语写作命题解析与参考范文2015年考研英语已经落下帷幕,英语(一)与英语(二)的写作难度与往年基本持平,仍然延续了多年以来的命题趋势,大量借鉴以往考查过的真题成为今年命题最大的特点。
其中,英语(一)小作文源于2011年英语(一)小作文,大作文源于2009年大作文;英语(二)小作文源于2010年英语(一)小作文。
下面笔者逐一加以解析。
英语(一)小作文题目You are going to host a club reading session. Write an email of about 100 words recommending a book to the club members. You should state reasons for your recommendation.You should write neatly on the ANSWER SHEET. Do not sign your own name at the end of the letter. Use “Li Ming” instead. Do not write the address. (10 points)1 命题渊源2015年考研英语(一)小作文沿用以前的命题方式,仍然考查书信。
2011年考研英语(一)小作文就考查过关于电影的推荐信,四年之后考查关于书籍的推荐信,这再次高调说明了历年真题在备考考研英语写作时的重要地位。
读书的话题在国内各种考试中被反复考查。
1999年6月四级写作考查了“选择性阅读还是博览群书”的提纲作文;2003年9月六级写作考查了关于美国某大学图书馆阅读偏好的图表作文;2013年6月四级写作考查了“文学的重要性”的图画作文。
在全民沉迷于手机的今天,这个话题颇有实际意义,与今年考研英语大作文考查的关于手机成瘾的话题互为呼应。
2 写作方法考生可以分三段来写作此次小作文。
第一段可进行自我介绍,说明自己是俱乐部读书会主持人,并开门见山地交代写信的目的――推荐书籍。
考生需要注意的是,英文中没有书名号,写作时涉及的书名、杂志名可使用下划线来表示(编注:书写体用下划线表示,在印刷体中用斜体表示),文章、诗歌、电影的名称可使用双引号来表示。
第二段具体说明两三点推荐该书的原因。
第三段进行总结,再次表明写推荐信的目的――推荐书籍。
3 参考范文Dear Friends,As the host of the upcoming reading session, I am writing this email to recommend my favorite book to you, Tao Te Ching, which is written by Lao Tzu.The primary causes of my recommendation are as follows. To begin with, it is one of the best-loved classical books in China and even universally popular throughout the world. In addition, the book encapsulates the main tenets of Taoism, and upholds a way of being as well as a philosophy and a religion.I hope the above information will help you come to know the book. If you need any further information about it, please do not hesitate to contact me.Yours sincerely,Li Ming大作文题目Write an essay of 160~200 words based on the following picture. In your essay, you should1) describe the picture briefly,2) interpret its intended meaning, and3) give your comments.You should write neatly on the ANSWER SHEET. (20 points)1 命题渊源2015年考研英语(一)连续第16次考查图画作文,且此次考查的话题是反复考查过的流行文化话题。
此话题之前已考查过五次,分别为1993年的提纲作文“电视广告”、2006年的图画作文“偶像崇拜”、2009年的图画作文“网络的‘近’与‘远’”和2010年英语(二)的图表作文“手机入网”。
如果考生背过2009年的范文或2010年英语(二)的范文,就可以借鉴其中的很多表达。
同时,这也是考研英语写作在六年之内第三次考查手机这一话题,而且今年考查的话题与2009年图画作文“网络的‘近’与‘远’”十分相似,几乎可以算是原题重考。
手机或上网成瘾这一话题在国内其他英语类写作考试中曾经被反复考查,分别为2007年专四的提纲作文“是否应该网上交友”、2012年六级的图画作文“网络对人际关系的影响”、2013年四级的三篇图画作文“网络对人们沟通方式的影响”“网络对学习的影响”和“过度使用手机的后果”。
可见,四、六级考试经常考查的话题也是考研英语写作常考的话题,考生在复习考研英语写作时不妨翻翻四、六级考试的写作题目。
2 写作方法考生写作时,第一段应描述图画,可以写成三句话。
首句可进行总体描述:人物(四个年轻人)+动作(玩手机)+环境(饭桌旁)。
第二句可进行细节描述:四个人面对满桌丰盛菜肴无动于衷,沉迷于手机。
末句按照文字说明写即可:这提醒我们手机时代的聚会像什么样子。
第二段应进行意义阐释,考生可以使用因果、举例、正反、联系现实等论证手段。
需要注意的是,手机有利有弊,最好不要完全批判,而应进行正反论证,具体阐明手机的优缺点,并使用论据加以支持。
第三段可给予结论或建议措施,呼吁人们合理利用手机的优点,同时避免沉迷,与2009年真题“网络的‘近’与‘远’”的写法有异曲同工之妙。
3 参考范文As is shown in the portrayal, four youngsters are sitting at a table, ready to have dinner. Unfortunately, instead of eating and drinking in front of a variety of delicious and nutritious dishes, each of them is holding a mobile phone and is staring at the screen, with no thought of chatting or eating at all. Here we are reminded what a gathering looks like in the era of mobile phones.Like the Internet, mobile phones benefit people hugely. With mobile phones,one’s home can become a library, a school, an office and an entertainment center. All transactions, from bankingto shopping, can be performed electronically and all information,from train schedules to discount-price goods, are available at the press of a button. Despite the increase in efficiency and convenience brought about by digital products, the changes they bring could very well lead to potentially adverse consequences. For example, as nearly all activities could be conducted on mobile phones, we could all become isolated, never feeling any need to leave the screen. It would be misfortunate that we become so addicted to the virtual world that we are seldom exposed to face-to-face social interactions.According to the preceding discussion, it is readily apparent that the mobile phone, as an increasingly popular form of communication among people, has both its positive sides and negative sides. For certain, the mobile phone can be used by young people in productive and useful ways. However, the adolescents must set time limits on the use of digital products. Otherwise, their academic work and social life will eventually pay the price.英语(二)小作文题目Suppose your university is going to host a summer camp for high school students. Write a notice to1) briefly introduce the camp activities, and2) call for volunteers.You should write about 100 words on the ANSWER SHEET. Do not use your name or the name of your university. Do not write your address. (10 points)希望以上资料对你有所帮助,附励志名言3条:1、理想的路总是为有信心的人预备着。
