1、一、 1998 年考研真题：职业道德 /诚信 The past several years have witnessed a phenomenonthat 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 inthe given cartoon commits herself to lay eggs which are round without anyangles and
2、corners and have shells, egg whites and yolks. Odd and funny as they sound, suchfalse promises can be seen and heard everywhere in our country. Administrationdepartments assure to perform their tasks effectively and fairly without takingany bribes; manufacturing units guarantee to turn out products
3、of good quality;commercial enterprises swear to provide genuine commodities and polite andenthusiastic services. Can you find anything new and substantial other thantheir obligations, duties and jobs in these so called promises? I guess youranswer will be negative. As a matter of fact, their intenti
4、on to make suchcommitments is nothing but to put on civilized outer clothing to please ordeceive the public. I dare say that our society issuffering corruption and cheat which are causing damage to society bothmaterially and morally. But the hen and her like should know that by dishonestwords no one
5、 can survive the intense competition under market economy system.They should remember the old saying, “Honesty is the best policy”.】 二： 2000 年考研真题 /史上最经典考题：环境问题 As is vividly/symbolicallyshown/described/depicted/illustrated/revealed/portrayed in thecartoons/drawings/portrayals/photos/photographs/pic
6、tures, with the rapid/speedysocial and economic development, the number of fishes has sharply decreased. Inone picture, there were various kinds of fish and only one fishing-boat in1900. On the contrary, in 1995 there was only one fish, but many fishing-boats. The purpose of thispicture/cartoonist i
7、s to show us that due attention has to be paid to thedecline of ocean resources. Owing/Due to over-fishing, the number of fishes hasobviously shrunk. If we let this situation go/continue as it is, we do not knowwhere fish will be in the near/forthcoming future. By that time, our environmentwill suff

He hassuccessfully settled the p
11、uzzle of “stopping or going on” which might haveconfused many others. With the increasing pace of modern life, perhaps nochange has characterized the past decade more dramatically than that ofpeoples view on their own life. It is generally agreed upon that people haveto adjust themselves to this new
12、 change. On the one hand, no doubt, people willgain a lot by setting new goals in their daily life. Take the famous scientistThomas Edison for example. He had done very well in his early life, butcontinued to pursue something more difficult all through his life. On the otherhand, if one is obsessed
13、with the success he has achieved, he would lose thechance to pursue new success. What is more, he may become the slave of his success.There are many cases showing that people lose their courage to betterthemselves after becoming successful. To sum up, onesview on his success determines his future. I
14、n my opinion, it is necessary tocarry out a nation-wide campaign publicizing people who have a burning desirefor more and ever greater achievement when they are already well-known. So thatpeople in the society will develop a forward-looking attitude and make theirlife worth living and the world more
15、 beautiful as well. 四、 2007 年考研真题 /史上第二大难题：青年面对社会（信心 /困难 /挑战 /金融危机 /就业难） As we can see from the picture, a football match isgoing on. On guarding the goal, the man on the left seems to be keeping a “hugegoal” that is easy and inevitable for a goal, while the person on the right hesitatesto kick the
16、ball with an illusion about the “huge keeper”. It is obvious thatboth of them exaggerate the difficulties in front of them. This picture does reflect a thought-provoking socialphenomenon which is not uncommon in Chinanow. The young always give up because the problem is beyond their ability tocope wi
17、th. Superficially, it seems to be somewhat reasonable, but when weighingin the mind, we find there is an apparent tendency underlying thisphenomenon: the lack of confidence. Firstly, it is well-known that we exist ina dynamic world with various difficulties. We can do nothing but face them.Secondly,
18、 attitude is the key point to take the firststep. Assuming bravery and confidence to solve the problem, you will find thequestion is not as “huge” as you imagine. Take us for example, the entranceexam for graduate students even seems to be a horrible monster beforeus. Some people give up, some persi
19、st. So, with confidence and the rightassessment of the difficulties, try and exert your strength, and then we willovercome all problems. On the whole, I believe we young people should facethe difficulties in right manner. And nothing is impossible, just do it. 五、 2008 年考研真题：青年面对社会（合作 /团队精神 /众志成城 /齐心
20、协力 /互助） As is vividly depicted in the picture, two disabled men are running fast throughteamwork although each of them has only one leg. Obviously, it isteamwork that makes it possible for them to go anywhere they want to. Simple as it is, what the picture conveys to us is thought-provoking.With the
21、 development of economy and society, competition is increasinglyfierce. It is impossible for anyone to finish a work all by himself.Hence, people in mounting numbers put great emphasis on teamwork. In fact, ithas been universally acknowledged that the ability of teamwork is the mostessential qualifi
22、cation that anyone who wants to achieve success shouldpossess. Accordingly, it isimperative for us to take some measures to enhance the sense ofteamwork in our society. We should bear in mind that teamwork is ofgreat significance to both our society and ourselves. Every one shouldhave the ability of
23、 teamwork. Only in this way can we achieve success and onlyin this way can our society become more harmonious to live in. 六、 2009 年：流行文化（网络） As is illustrated in the cartoon, each person sits in their own work room.In front of them is a computer. Everyone looks at the screen carefully, andcommunicat
24、e with their colleagues through the net instead of talking face toface. Their work places are placed like a net. And below the cartoon, there isa topic which says: the near and far among the Internet. From the cartoon, we can conclude that the cartoonistwants to convey such a message: with the popul
25、arity of computers,people from all over the world become nearer by using the Internet tocommunicate with each other. Meanwhile, people also become far away from theirfriends. All of us accept the fact that the development of the internet bringslots of conveniences to our daily life, for instance, we
26、 can buy a book on thenet instead of going to a bookstore. Besides, we can communicate with ourfriends on the net without going out of home. But we cant ignore the otherside of these: the time we spend with friends or family becomes less. And wehardly see them once in a week. It will make us feel lo
27、nely if we continue touse the tool on the net to talk with friends instead of talking with them onthe phone or going out with them. To my best understanding, we should use the net to communicate witheach other in a proper way. It is just a tool when we really need it to serveus. If we want to keep o
28、ur friendship more effectively, we should spend moretime with them in our real life. Only in this way can we not onlymake full use of the communication tool on the net but also make our friendshipstronger. 七、 2010 年英语（一）真题 /史上最难考题：文化融合 As is symbolically illustrated in the portrayal, there is a boil
29、ing hot pot containingvarious ingredients of multi-cultures. These pluralistic cultures canbe categorizedas celebritieshome and abroad as Bi Sheng, Lao She, Shakespeare and Einstein, philosophical concepts asBuddhism, Taoism, Confucianism, benevolence, ritual, humanism, Enlightenment,post-modernism
30、and deconstruction, as well as performing arts asBeijing Opera, Gong Fu, Liang Zhu and Swan Lake. We are informed that theculture “hot pot” is both delicious and nutritious. The purpose of the cartoonist is to show us that instead of beingoutdated and of little value in a rapidly modernizing world,
31、cultural blendingshould be encouraged and maintained. On the one hand, mosaic cultures are partof the universal heritage of humanity and they are powerful means of bringingtogether diverse peoples and social groups. Consequently, cultural reintegrationhas become indispensable as a means of promoting
32、 further culture developmentand maintenance. On the other hand, for China, as for any other rapidlydeveloping country, there is a danger that age-old customs and traditions maybecome lost in the shadows of modernization. If Liang Zhu, Beijing Opera orSwan Lake Ballet ever perished from the earth, it
33、 would bea tragedy of immeasurable proportions. In my view, multi-cultures can be kept alive bythe people with the time to do so, and is extremely vital in ensuring acommunitys future development and prosperity. As a consequence of successfulcommercialization efforts, unwavering government support a
34、ndgrowing interest overseas, the future of cultural blending looks brighter andmore secure than ever before. 八： 2010 年英语（二）真题：流行文化（手机） From the information given in the above column chart,we can see a striking contrast in mobile-phone subscriptions betweendeveloping and developed countries from 2000
35、 to 2008. During this period, therehas been a dramatic increase from 0.4 to 4 billion mobile phone subscriptionsin developing countries, while that of developed countries remained steadyunder 1 billion during the decade. At least two fundamental factors could contributeto this phenomenon. On the one
36、 hand, with the rapid increase in economyhappening in the developing countries, the telecommunication industry in thosecountries got a great bound to meet the demand of globalization. As aresult, the user of mobile phone which can narrow the distance between peopleand link the whole world together r
37、ose at an incredible speed. On the otherhand, the extremely advanced civilization of developed countries means lesspotential in many aspects including in the area of private telecommunicationtools and their demand for further enlargement of such tools tend tosaturation. In conclusion, while mobile p
38、hones subscriptions, ifused carelessly or without restraint, could prove to be a double-edged sword, thefact remains that it is already extremely prevalent inboth developing and developed countries and even today, continue rise inpopularity. Given the levels of intelligence, prudence and discretion
39、imbuedin people, I am sure that most of them will be able to sidestepthe potential drawbacks of mobile phones, while taking advantage of all itsmerits. 九、经典模拟题：全球变暖 As is subtly revealed in the cartoonsabove, global warming is a real threat to our world. In the first drawing, theglaciers in the pola
40、r region are rapidly melting owing to global warming. Inthe second picture, a homeless polar bear is staying on an isolated big blockof ice. The purpose of these portrayals is to show us thatglobal warming is a looming threat to people all over the world. To begin with,global warming leads to the ri
41、se of sea levels. Large sections Chinese coastalregions would gradually disappear under rising sea levels because of globalwarming, severely impairing the countrys social and economic progress. Chinas longcoastline is the base for about 70% of the large cities, over half of thedomestic population an
42、d nearly 60% of the national economy. With comparatively-advancedsocial, economic and cultural developments, Chinas off-shore regions willsuffer great losses if the sea level does not cease rising. In addition, globalwarming increases the possibility and intensity of extreme weather such as hurrican
43、esand snowstorms. Hurricanes and typhoons have become stronger and longer-lastingover the past 30 years. These upswings correlate with a rise insea surface temperatures due to global warming. Taking into account the devastating effects of global warming,we can draw the conclusion that global warming
44、 is a great threat to our world.Facing the growing menace of global warming, more scientific and activepreventive measures should be taken on a larger scale to change for the better. 十、经典模拟题：低碳经济 As is symbolically illustrated in thepicture, a lovely baby is sleeping comfortably on the beautiful ear
45、th with alittle bird singing over him. In the drawing, a huge green umbrellashelters the baby and the earth from the threatening outside world. The captionindicates that we should advocate low carbon economy and cherish the earth. The painter aims at reminding us the relationshipbetween low carbon e
46、conomy and environmental protection. In the first place, lowcarbon economy is crucial to sustainable economic development. Economicexpansion causes irreparable damage to our environment. A fragile ecologicalenvironment, insufficient environmental capacity and shortage of resources arebecoming critic
47、al problems hindering the worlds development. If we want toachieve sustainable development, environmental protection should beintegrated into our economic endeavors. Low carbon economy will have adirect impact on the overall situation of the worlds modernization drive andits long-term development. I
48、n the second place, environmental protection is inline with traditional Chinese culture. One of the core principles oftraditional Chinese culture is to maintain harmony between man and nature. Manyphilosophies from Confucianism, Taoism and Buddhism have emphasized thesignificance of a balanced envir
49、onment. As an old Chinese saying goes, “Forefathersplant trees so future generations can enjoy the shade.” Protecting ourenvironment and preserving a healthy environment for future generations goeshand in hand with Chinese culture. Generally speaking, low carbon economy is indispensablefor sustainabledevelopment. Haunted by various environmental problems, we should put thelow carbon economy at the core of our economic development plans and solvewide-ranging environmental problems before they evolve into environmentalcrisis.
