2009年英语一考研作文Part B:网络的近与远一、客观描述图二、说明意思三、给出观点cture features two things, the spiders web and the "cubicle farm". The spiders web is of course our modern metaphor for the internet, which connects one point to every other point, and thus allows a web user to access a great deal of information. Being interconnected like this is what makes the internet so popular, as people can communicate with anyone in a variety of ways from all over the world. The second thing about this picture is the common office "cubicle farm" people at their desks using the computers, but without a lot of face to face contact with real people. Some people might argue that while the internet allows people to stay in touch more, make more friends and even find romance online, a down side is that sometimes it makes people more isolated. Some people stay in their homes and only make online friends, chat online and never experience direct human contact, if their average day at work is like this too, then the internet may be a curse rather than a blessing.2010年英语一考研作文Part B:Directions:Write an essay of 160-200 words based on the following drawing. In your essay, you should1)describe the drawing briefly, 2) explain its intended meaning, and3)give your comments。

As is vividly depicted in the drawing, in the middle of the cartoon stands a hot pot, containing many Chinese cultural symbols, such as Beijing operas, Daoism, and some foreigh cultural symbols, etc. How impressive the drawing is in describing the common phenomenon that Chinese culture is becoming increasingly integrated into the world. The drawer’s intention seems to be highly self-evident and the meaning causes us to be thought-provoking.It holds to be apparent that the cartoon is indicative of a pervasive phenomenon with regard to culture. When it comes to(一谈到) culture，its great impacts and benefits can’t be too estimated. As China opens to the outside world, our traditional culture is embracing the foreign culture, thus making our Chinese culture more diversified, colorful and internationalized just like a melting pot. What the picture conveys goes far beyond this. The fact that people from different countries are attracted to each other, indicating that to some extent different cultures can be accepted，respected，appreciated and shared internationally. In other words，Chinese unique culture can become international through worldwide economic and cultural exchanges. Since the trend of globalization become irresistible, cultural integration can effectively improve mutual understanding and friendship among different countries.In my personal sense, Chinese national culture as priceless spiritual treasure should be preserved and cherished. Meanwhile，there are good reasons to embrace foreign cultures on the ground that those ideas from the other cultures can provide a different perspective for us to observe the world in the long run. However，confronted with a different culture，we should be sensible enough to absorb its essence and to resist its dark side. Only in this way can we promote cultural integration and development positively, thus making our motherland dimensional，colorful and vigorous. （303 words）2012年考研作文As is subtly portrayed in the cartoon, two tourists are taking sightseeing ona small boat while discarding their picnicing leftovers casually into a lake. Unfortuantely, the lake is already littered and teamed with flowing rubbish like plastic containers, fish-bones, banana skin, watermelon rind, bottles, tins, food wrappings, and so on. And below the drawing, there is a topic which says: "after" the travel or "me" in the travel.From the portrayal, we can conclude that the painter wants to convey such a message: a good many popular places are flooded with visitors, who spoil the beauty of nature by creating and leaving behind God-knows-how-much trash. On the one hand, tourism, as a multibillion-dollar business, is booming everywhere. Some people, laboring under the belief that tourism serves as an engine of economic growth, seem to ignore its negative effects on the environment. Nevertheless, it is my view that these are not concerns that we can shrug off lightly. On the other hand, tourism has exerted great pressure on the environment we are living in: water is polluted, the ecological system is disturbed, and natural resources have been excessively used.Undoubtedly, tourism could not be banned in any country as it does help to shore up the economy in places which offer few sources of income. The significant point is that the unchecked growth of the travel business may render the development of an economy unsustainable. It is high time that we enhanced people's awareness to rectify this by taking the environmental protection into consideration. (255 words)如图所示，两名游客正在一艘小船上观光，同时把野餐的剩余垃圾随意丢入湖中。
