作文一：

Directions:Write an essay of 160 - 200 words based on the following drawing. In youressay, you should first describe the drawing then interpret the meaning, andgive your comment on it.

范文

Asis vividly depictedin the cartoon, fourchildren are playing a "football match" of taking care of their aged father. Each of them stands in adifferent corner of a football field. The eldest son kicked out the father with the other three children guarding their goals.

Thepurpose of the drawing is to show us that due attention has to be paidto the mistreatment of senior citizens. First and foremost, some people shirktheir duty of financiallysupporting their old and helpless parents due to their own interests. Furthermore, some elderly people are often ill-treatedby their own children and cannot lead a normal life. Last but not least, while some young people enjoy a comfortable life, theirparents are neglectedand reduced to utterpoverty.

Itis imperativefor us to take drastic measures. To begin with, relevant laws andregulations should be made to severely punish those who shunthe responsibilities of caring their parents. In addition, we should cultivate the awareness of the young that respectingthe old has always been the traditionalvirtue of Chinese culture. Only in this way can we curbthe current evil phenomenon revealed in the picture. (198)

作文二：

Directions:

Studythe following photos carefully and write an essay of 160~200 words in which youshould

1.describe the photos briefly,

2.interpret the social phenomenon reflected by them, and

3.give your point of view.

范文

As is vividlydepicted in the photos above,Beckham, the handsome British football superstar, is enjoying a striking popularity among youngpeople. In the first photo, Beckham’s name appearson a young man’s face.The caption indicatesthat worshipfor the idol is written on the face. In the second photo, this young man isdoing Beckham’s chichairstyle in a barbershop. We are informed that he isspending 300 yuan imitating his idol’s hairdo.

Undoubtedly, the photos have subtlyreflected the social phenomenon that idol worship is prevalentamong the youth nowadays. Beckham representsthe image of sport hero whose handsome appearance and unparalleled football skills are passionately adored byall the sportsfans. Likewise,several teenage girls won their fame overnight in The 2005 Super Girl ContestinChina,which provokednationwide noisy debates on the value and harm of admiring these idols. Generallyspeaking, young people are inclinedto adore the people who excelin appearance, intelligence or talent.

In my opinion, idol worship, the thought-provokingsocial phenomenon, is a double-edged sword which candeeply influencethe growth of young people. If we simply worship the idols by imitating theirhairstyles or pursuing fashions unreasonably,the obsessionwill certainly waste us a great deal of money or time, endangering theefficiency of our work. On the contrary, we willlead a positiveand fruitfullife if we endeavor to improve ourselves by bridging the gap between our modelsand us. Therefore, the latter attitude should be adopted to direct our way of life.

在考研英語閱讀中，長難句的結(jié)構(gòu)分析一直是閱讀理解中一個不容忽視的障礙，盤根錯節(jié)的從句和結(jié)構(gòu)復(fù)雜的非謂語動詞常常把我們搞得暈頭轉(zhuǎn)向，不知所措。其實，由于非謂語動詞短語比起從句來說會使整個句子更為緊湊和簡潔，所以在文章中常常會使用到非謂語動詞短語。

非謂語動詞短語的形式包括動名詞、現(xiàn)在分詞、過去分詞、動詞不定式，它們在句子中可以充當(dāng)不同的句子成分，本文就來談一下如何處理考研英語中分詞作狀語的情況。

1.表時間，可以和時間狀語從句互換

如：Studying in the university, he was very popular among his classmates.= When he studied in the university, he was very popular among his classmates. 讀大學(xué)期間，他在同學(xué)中十分受歡迎。

Seeing those pictures, she remembered her childhood. = When she saw those pictures, she remembered her childhood. 看到這些照片，她回憶起了自己的童年往事。

2.表原因，可以和原因狀語從句互換

如：Not knowing her address, I wasn‘t able to contact her. = Because I did not know her address, I wasn’t able to contact her. 由于不知道她的地址，我無法與她取得聯(lián)系。

3.表條件，可以和條件狀語從句互換

如：Walking to work, you will save quite a lot of money.= If you walk to work, you will save quite a lot of money. 如果步行去上班，你可以節(jié)省不少錢。

4.表讓步，可以和讓步狀語從語互換

如：Defeated, he remained a popular boxer. = Although he was defeated, he remained a popular boxer. 雖然戰(zhàn)敗了，但他依然是一為受歡迎的拳擊手。

5.表方式

如：He earns a living driving a truck. 他開車謀生。

6.表伴隨

如：Losing a job is hurting: you don't skip down to the job centre with a song in your heart, delighted at the prospect of doubling your income from the generous state. (考研閱讀真題2014 Text 1)

在這個句子中，delighted分詞短語作伴隨狀語，表示去求職中心的狀態(tài)。

7.表結(jié)果

分詞短語作結(jié)果狀語在考研英語閱讀中經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)，并作為因果邏輯關(guān)系的考點出現(xiàn)在題干和選項中，請大家一定要注意非謂語動詞短語的這種語法功能。

如：The best lawyers made skyscrapers-full of money, tempting ever more students to pile into law schools. (考研閱讀真題2014 Text 2)

在這句話中，tempting分詞短語作結(jié)果狀語，表示最好的律師掙錢很多這種現(xiàn)象帶來的結(jié)果是引起更多學(xué)生考法律學(xué)校。題干中的問題是A lot of students take up law as their profession due to，即學(xué)生學(xué)法律專業(yè)的原因是什么，這個問題從上句話中就可以找出答案，是因為經(jīng)濟(jì)回報的吸引，即選項the attraction of financial rewards。

By offering on-trend items at dirt-cheap prices, Cline argues, these brands have hijacked fashion cycles, shaking an industry long accustomed to a seasonal pace. (考研閱讀真題2013 Text 1)

在這個句子中，shaking 分詞短語作結(jié)果狀語，表示品牌綁架時尚圈的后果。

Science and technology would cure all the ills of humanity, leading to lives of fulfillment and opportunity for all. (考研閱讀真題2013 Text 3)

在這個句子中，leading分詞短語作結(jié)果狀語，表示科技將治愈人類所有疾病后帶來的結(jié)果。

8.與邏輯主語構(gòu)成獨立主格

如：Human nature being what it is, most people stick with default settings. (考研閱讀真題2013 Text 2)

在這種結(jié)構(gòu)中，需要注意非謂語動詞的主語是其前出現(xiàn)的名詞或名詞短語。Being what it is 的邏輯主語是human nature, 翻譯為人類本性就是這樣。

在考研英語閱讀中，分詞短語作狀語在句中出現(xiàn)的頻率很大，大家需要注意分辨清分詞短語與主句的邏輯關(guān)系，這樣我們才能更好地理清文章結(jié)構(gòu)，進(jìn)而在選擇答案時能夠做到有的放矢。
