2014年的考研英語已經拉下帷幕,今年的題目又是殺廣大考生一個措手不及。但是,仔細分析之后,尊老愛幼、家人之間的相互扶持,其實就是對2005年"養老足球賽"的延續,區別在于立意的角度不同而已。即2005年是負面話題,今年是正面話題。
至于英語二的城市化問題,考察的圖表也是經典的柱狀圖,一上升一下降,體現了城市化進程的加快。
兩篇小作文的信件寫作,考察是常規的建議信,一篇是給校長寫一份關于提高大學生身體健康的信件,一篇是寫一封給在美國準室友的信函。前者關于大學生提高身體健康的信件,在預測的大作文"過勞死"的結尾段提出的幾點建議措施就可以直接運用到這一封建議信中。后者實際上是基礎、強化、沖刺、預測班反復強調的一類信函,出國求學信的一個變通,考試考查的是給未來室友聊聊關于住宿愛好之類的,這個在出國求學信中都有詳細提及。
小作文不再贅述,以下僅就兩篇難度大分值大的大作文進行解析。
【英語一】漫畫作文"相攜",30年前母親大手牽小手,母親牽著自己成長;30年后的今天,子女攙扶著年邁的母親。
這篇看似簡單的兩代關系的漫畫作文,看似簡單,很多考生直接寫成了2005年"養老足球賽"的反向話題,殊不知遺漏了漫畫的一半重點。試想,如果這篇文章只是需要寫作"關愛老年人",那還要左邊圖中大手牽小手的30年前的場景何用?如果只是寫對老年人的關心,那題目怎么會是"相攜"?所以,在描述圖畫的時候需要描述出兩幅圖畫的關系,在主題詞主題句的寫作表達上,也需要同時寫出子女對父母的愛,父母對子女的愛。
這幅漫畫寫作中所涉及的一些重點詞匯,如關愛老年人(care for the elderly),相互支持(being supportive),中國傳統美德(Chiоnese traditional virtue),道德觀(the value of morality)等等,這些詞匯在我們強化班和沖刺班預測班都有提及。并且與預測班的"關愛陌生人"、"扶老年人"、避免"空巢老人"等主題基本一致。
中間段落的論據方式,可以用舉例論證,比如說緹縈救父的案例;有的考生用了原因后果的論證方式也是可行的,比如說分析了父母養育之恩,所以我們現在要更加關愛他們,如果不這樣做的話,很有可能造成社會上這種空巢老人的現象出現。
結尾段的寫作主要是給出個人評論和建議憧憬。對于這種相攜的社會現象,先評價這是一個正面話題。建議措施就應該是政府鼓勵、媒體提倡、個人實際行動。只有這樣,才可以憧憬一個更加美好的兩代關系。
【英語二】城市化進程:城市人口增長和鄉村人口的下降。從近幾年的考題來看,今年的英語二圖表還是相對簡單的,只是單線變化的柱狀圖,整個圖表與預測班講義的第一幅圖表變化幾乎一致,甚至連年代變化都一致。
開頭段直接描述圖表,先整體趨勢,接著分開描述兩個柱狀趨勢,城鎮人口的增長,鄉村人口的減少。并且總結一下,"盡管數字看似孤立,但是實際上緊密聯系"。
中間段分析這種變化的原因,按照原因的分析方法,內因找自身,大量的人口涌入城市,也許會因為自身覺得城市的環境、經濟、教育等方面有吸引力。外因找社會,一方面是城市經濟的快速發展、建設的突飛猛進,另一方面也可能是政府鼓勵、支持人們到城市發展。
結尾段直接預測趨勢,這種發展繼續下去可能會越來越好。并且可以預估一下,這種快速發展的趨勢在我看來不可逆轉。
這篇文章的寫作核心歸根結底就是經濟的發展所帶來的一切。九十年代的考研題目就考察過城市生活好還是農村生活好,這個分析我們在精講班就有一起分析過利弊。至于經濟方面的發展,同學們可以完全把預測講義的第一篇圖表作文"歸國潮"照搬過來,都是由于經濟的吸引、政策的吸引。整個結尾段就可以完全把"歸國潮"范文的結尾段照搬過來,只是把兩個重復的"歸國人員"這個單詞替換成"城市人"或者"農民工",整個第三段瞬間就可以直接寫出來。
【參考范文】
英語一:"相攜"
"No strings attached." This is the exact definition of love between parents and children, which is probably the most touching emotion. As is vividly shown in the pictures, there are two people, mother and her daughter, holding each other's hand tightly. In the first picture, a beautiful young mother was holding her daughter's little hand, with a warm smile on her face. Time has changed. As is illustrated in the second picture, thirty years later, the little girl has grown up and the mother has become elder. Yet they are still holding each other happily and tightly. Below the pictures, there is a topic which says, " Being supportive".
Without a doubt, the author's purpose is not the fact itself, but to show us what hides behind the picture: warm emotion between generation is of great importance, especially respecting and loving our aging parents, which can support us no matter hard the word around us becomes. I can think of no better examples than the epic story of the Chinese girl-warrior, Mulan, who disguises herself as a man to take the place of her elderly father in the army. A large number of stories like this tell us that caring for the aged parents is not only Chinese traditional virtue, but our fundamental responsibility as well. Furthermore, we are indebted to our parents for birth and growth. Without their loving care and unrelenting work, how could we have grown up healthily and successfully? We are supposed to show our warm love and take care of them without hesitation.
"Family love is mutual, silent, and everlasting." It is an old cliché, but I do agree with it. Therefore, what we should do is to show our pure and nature love to our dear family, especially our parents who raise us up. Meanwhile, mass media, such as radio, television, and Internet, should make every effort to propaganda and advocate this precious Chinese traditional virtue. Only in this way can we be worthy of the name of a Chinese.
英語二:城鎮化進程
As is clearly illustrated in the bar chart, the number of rural and urban population varied at different rate during the past two decades. To be specific, from 1990 to 2010, the n?umber of rural population increased sharply from 300 million to nearly 650 million. Meanwhile, the figures of urban population decreased steadily from above 840 million to around 670 million. Isolated as the figures seem to be, they are connected to one another clоosely.
This graph does mirror a not uncommon social phenomenon: rural workers flood into big cities. A number of factors might contribute to this tendency, but the following one might be the critical one. First and foremost, along with the development of big cites, the number of rural citizens has been soaring in the past years, which in turn contribute to the development of urbanization. In addition, the government has worked out a series of effective policies to attract rural citizens. For example, more highly praised job has been offered for them. Consequently, people in mounting numbers flood into modern cities.
In a word, this chart is a perfect index of China's fast expanding economy, especially the living quality in big cities, which attracted an expanding number of rural workers in recent decade. Meanwhile, it is reasonable for us to believe that the waves of rural citizens will definitely contribute to our nation's development.
