考研作文真题解读

　　1.98年范文：

　　Directions:

　　Study the following set of pictures carefully and write an essay in no less than 150 words.

　　Your essay must be written clearly on the ANSWER SHEET II.

　　Your essay should cover all the information provided and meet the requirements below:

　　1. Write out the messages conveyed by the cartoon.

　　2. Give your comments.

　　The past several years have witnessed a phenomenon that a variety of promises have been arising from all walks of life. Regretfully, quite a lot of promises are sheer nonsense, just as the hen in the given cartoon commits herself to lay eggs which are round without any angles and corners and have shells, egg whites and yolks.

　　Odd and funny as they sound, such false promises can be seen and heard everywhere in our country. Administration departments assure to perform their tasks effectively and fairly without taking any bribes; manufacturing units guarantee to turn out products of good quality; commercial enterprises swear to provide genuine commodities and polite and enthusiastic services. Can you find anything new and substantial other than their obligations, duties and jobs in these so called promises? I guess your answer will be negative. As a matter of fact, their intention to make such commitments is nothing but to put on civilized outer clothing to please or deceive the public.

　　I dare say that our society is suffering corruption and cheat which are causing damage to society both materially and morally. But the hen and her like should know that by dishonest words no one can survive the intense competition under market economy system. They should remember the old saying, “Honesty is the best policy”.

　　Directions:

　　Among all the worthy feelings of mankind, love is probably the noblest, but everyone has his or her own understanding of it.

　　There has been a discussion recently on the issue in a newspaper. Write an essay to the newspaper to

　　1) Show your understanding of the symbolic meaning of the pictures below.

　　2) Give a specific example, and

　　3) Give your suggestion as to the best way to show love.

　　You should write about 200 words neatly on ANSWER SHEET II.

　　When we use the word “love”, we do not simply mean an attraction to a person of the opposite sex, which is a very narrow definition of the word. The picture below illustrates the real meaning of love, by stressing the fact that love is emotional strength, which can support us no matter how dark the world around us becomes. As a matter of fact, throughout history people of many different cultures have regarded love as the most sublime of human emotions.

　　As an illustration of the power of love, we should remember how the Chinese people of all nationalities respond to the call to help the victims of the deadly earthquake in Sichuan Province. Although their incomes are still low by international standards, people all over the country do not hesitate to donate whatever they can——be it money or goods——to help their needy fellow citizens. Furthermore, they do this with no thought of gain for themselves.

　　It is my view that the best way to show love is to help people who are more unfortunate than we are. We should always be ready to give a helping hand to those who are in trouble, no matter whether they are family members or complete strangers. Only by doing so can we help to make the world a better place, for, as the picture shows, the darker the shadows of sorrow become, the more brightly the lamp of love shines. by jiang yang
