200年的写作考察的是图画
作文，它标志着真正意义上的图画
作文考察的开始。这是继1998年之后第二次考图画
作文，也是之后连续考察图画
作文的开始，1998年的图画
作文并不典型，因为包含的文字（包含图画内的和图画边的）太多；从2000年起，就变得言简意赅了。
这里给出了两张图画，形成了强烈的对比:1099年只有一艘捕鱼的船只，鱼儿却很多；到了1995年，船只成群，而鱼儿却只剩一条了。这里给人的震撼是巨大的，在多年的商业捕鱼之后，渔业资源受到了巨大的破坏。提纲共有三点，第一点是描述图画，第二点是推断绘画者的意图，第三点给出对策，也就是解决办法。我们应该根据提纲来构建文章的三个段落。
【核心词汇】
alert us to … 使我们对…有所警觉
the diminishing fishery resources 逐渐减少的渔业资源
ensure the moderate exploration and reasonable disposition of natural resources 保证适度开发和自然资源的合理配置
destructive ecological disaster 毁灭性生态灾难
heighten awareness 提高意识
【组词成句】
第二段的首句应该紧紧扣住提纲的第二点，同时道出绘画者的用意:
It is most obvious that the drawer means to alert us to the diminishing fishery resources because of excessive global commercial fishing. 句中的most表示“非常”，语气要强于very, mean后面加不定式时表示“意欲，想要做某事”，alert us to … 表示“使得我们对…有所警觉”， diminishing fishery resources表示“日益枯竭的渔业资源”，excessive表示“过渡的”。
【点石成金】
The picture, “a brief history of commercial fishing”, shows us that there have been less and less fish in the ocean for the last century. The two parts that comprise the picture display totally different scenes in 1099 and 1995. In1900 there were a large number of fish while only one boat was fishing on the ocean. But in 1995 fishing boats increased sharply while only one fish was left. We can’t help asking ourselves a disturbing question:will there be a day when no fish are for our descendants?
It is most obvious that the drawer means to alert us to the diminishing fishery resources because of excessive global commercial fishing. If no measures are taken to ensure the moderate exploration and reasonable disposition of natural resources, a destructive ecological disaster may not be far away and the nest victim will probably be man himself.
There fore, it is high time we took effective measures to solve this problem, The essential solution, in my opinion, is to combine fishing with raising and protecting not least, people’s awareness of protecting natural resources must be heightened through education and publicity. In a word, we can never solve the problem until all of us take actions to protect fishery resources.

The picture shows us that… We can’t help asking ourselves a disturbing question: will there be a day when…

Therefore it is high time we took effective measures to solve this problem. The essential solution, in my opinion, is to … In addition,… Last but not least,… In a word, we can never solve the problem until all of us take actions to,…
【结构点评】
第一段是描述图画，这里应将两幅图画的对比表现出来，并将重点落在渔业资源的大幅度减少上面。本段共分五句话。首句先总括性地说出上个世纪海洋中的鱼儿越来越少了一这事实。次句说两幅图画对比明显，第三句第四句分别说1900和1995年的情形，都使用了while来表示对比。最后一句非常精彩:我们不禁问自己一个令人担忧的问题，是否未来有一天我们的子孙将一条鱼也没有了呢？此句对下面引出绘画者的意图起了很好的铺垫作用。
第二段首句说出了画家的意图是想让我们对这个严重的问题有所警觉，之后进一步说，如果不采取措施，毁灭性的生态灾难就将不远了，而下一个受害者就是人本身。第三段是写对策，首句是常用的模板句，而后分三个方面来说，最后做结。
【妙笔生花】
首段次句中的comprise表示“组成”；末句非常引人注目，can’t help表示“忍不住”，之后是个问句:will there be a day when…表示“会有那一天时…吗？”，这是把问题推出极致的办法，能更容易地看清问题。
第二段的次句中的moderate exploration and reasonable disposition of natural resources表示“自然资源的适度开采和合理配置”，使用了平行的名词词组；destructive ecological disaster表示“毁灭性的生丰收灾难“，may not be far away 表示“可能就不远了”，victim表示“受害者”。请大家仔细品味这句话的语气——为了获得强烈的效果，在词、词组和句型的选用和排列上都要下功夫，这里看似简的himself实际上就是为了加强语气来增加上去的。
第三段的首句是常用的句型it is high time we…后面用过去时。第一点说的是将捕鱼和养鱼、护鱼结合起来，raise就是养的意思。第二占是说应立法控制商业捕鱼。第三点是说加强人们保护自然资源的意识，包含heighten awareness这个好词组。末句使用经典句never…until做结，语气强烈。

Among all the worthy feelings of mankind, live is probably the noblest, but everyone has his/her own understanding of it, There has been a discussion recently on the issue in a newspaper. Write an essay to newspaper to:

2001年英语写作又经历了一次重大变革——要求字数从150字以上提高到200字左右，也就是说，写在180字以下的文章要扣分。同时写作这部分所占的分数也由15分提高到20分，充分体出了对写作这一部分的重视。写作是一种产出性的技能，最能直接体现考生综合运作语方的能力，再怎么强调也不为过啊。
这次的漫画可谓历年考试中最为简明的，但却意义深远:油灯上面的火焰象是个孩子的微笑，在黑暗中发出明亮的光芒，上面有一句话:“爱心是一盏灯，在越黑暗的地方越明亮”——这句话很关键，前面是个暗喻，后面是个越…越…的结构。提纲分为三点，一是写出对漫画象征意义的理解，二是举出一个具体的事例，三是就献爱心的最好办法给出建议。我们应紧扣提纲，可分三段来写。在第一段中，不仅应包含漫画的描述，还应描述旁边的一句话。在第二段中，应举一个能与漫画所表达的深刻的道理相匹配的典型事例。
[核心词汇]
present 呈现
gives out bright flame 发出明亮的火焰
so innocent and pure smile 如此天真纯洁的笑容
devoted ourselves to 献身于
[组词成句]
文章首段的首句和次句应该描述漫画，首句可以说“在呈现给我们的这幅画中一盏油灯在黑暗的背景中发出明亮的火焰“。这里的present表示“呈现”。
In the picture presented to us, an oil lamp gives out bright flame against the dark background.
次句可以说“火焰设计成了一个孩子的模样，是如此的天真和纯洁”。其中innocent和pure分别指“天真的”和“纯洁的”。
The flame is designed to be a child’s smile, so innocent and pure.
[点石成金]
In the picture presented to us, an oil lamp gives out bright flame against the dark background. The flame is designed to be a child’s smile, so innocent and pure, The oil lamp here is a symbol of love, which is noblest among all the worthy feelings of mankind. Just as the Chinese characters in the picture say, live is a lamp; the darker the background is, the brighter it look. It is true that the harder the situation is, the more valuable love is.
This picture reminds me of one of our national heroes, Lin Zexu. At the end of the 19th century. He was exiled by the Qing Government to a border town in Xinjiang, where people were extremely pllr, in severe lack of water and suffering constant dust storms. But he was never discouraged by the harsh conditions. He called on people to plant trees, open ditches and build reservoirs, thus greatly improving the living conditions there. Even today’s people are benefiting from these projects. Who can deny that resulted from the sincere love of a most courageous person?
The best way to show love, I think, is to devote ourselves to our work and our nation. No matter where we work, what we do and how harsh the environment is, we must try our best to shoulder the responsibility of the job so as to help others live better and make contribution to our nation’s development.
【黄金模板】
In the picture presented to us, ….Just as the Chinese characters in the picture say, … It is that. ….
The picture reminds me of. …. Who can deny that resulted from…?
The best way to …., I think, is to ….
【结构点评】
第一段是描述漫画，前两句是纯粹的描述，第三句是推导其象征含义，第四句是描述旁边的一句话，末句是其引申含义。第二段是举例，这是个难点。提纲明确要求举一个特定的例子，这里不能一笔带过，最好自成一体。本文举了一个林则徐的例子。本段末句使用反问句来做小结，突显主题，效果强烈。第三段是给出献爱心的最好办法——投身工作，献身祖国，这一段要呼应上面两段并升华主题，实属不易。
【妙笔生花】
首段前两句是描述漫画，第三句创造性地与指令中的话相联系，来推导漫画的象征含义。第四句是描述旁边的话，注意分号的用法。第五句写出了其引申的意义，这里与上句一样都使用了“越…越…”的结构。
第二段首句的remind…of…表示“使某人想起某事”，这里使用是为了引出其后的事例。第二句的exile和border town分别表示“流放”和“边陲小镇”。第三句中的call on、 open ditches和build reservoirs分别表示“号召”、“开渠”和“建水库”。最后一句是反问句，语气很强。句中的the sincere love of a most courageous person表示“一个无比勇敢的人的真挚的爱”，呼应了主题。
第三段首句中的be devoted to 表示“献身于”。次句使用了让步状语从句，shoulder the responsibility 表示“担负责任”，make contribution to our nation表示“为祖国做出贡献”；句中how harsh the environment is 呼应了首段的末句，而help others live better和make contribution to our nation又在不同侧面上呼应了献爱心的主题。

2002年考察的也是图画文凭，但却是第一次使用照。照上是一个穿着我国传统服务的美国少女，下面有一行注释。文章给出了题目。提纲包括两点，一是描述图片并解释含义，二是对此现象作出评论。文章可以分为三段来写，首段简要地描述照片，次段阐释其含义，末段给出评论。
[核心词汇]
at first sight of 第一次见到
brighten my eyes 使我眼睛一亮
beam with a smile 微笑
an unexpected and yet harmonious design 一种出乎意料却又和谐的设计
convey 蕴涵
a deep and soul-stirring meaning 深刻又振奋人心的意味
when it comes to 当谈及…
cultural blending 文化融合
[点石成金] Cultures—National and International
At first sight of the picture, my eyes are brightened by the pretty girl, beaming with a smile. She is a typical American girl, but she is dressed in our traditional Chinese costume.
Through such an unexpected and yet harmonious design, the picture conveys a deep and soul-stirring meaning. The girl stands for two different cultures—western ture, which symbolizes the harmonious blending of the two cultures. And thus the picture assumes a kind of peaceful and inspiring beauty.
When it comes to cultural blending, we should attach importance to two factors. On the one hand, with economic globalization, the blending of different cultures has become a necessary trend of the times. Furthermore, the fact that all cultures are both open to and infiltrating into each other lays down the foundation for cultural blending. On the other hand, maintaining and vitalizing national cultures are most important in cultural blending—what have been and will always be most appealing to foreigners are the unique characteristics of national cultures. Only on this basis can we achieve efficient cross-cultural communication and promote world peace and prosperity.

At first sight of the picture, my eye are brightened by…

[结构点评]
文章分为三段，实际上是把提纲的第一点分成两段来写。首段的描述非常简练，次段采用总—分—总的结构:首句是段中的主题句，而且分两句来说。段中的第二句说这个女孩代表了两种不同的文化，第三句说她的笑是整幅画中必不可少的笔法，象征着两种文化的和谐融合。
第三段是对文化融合这一现象的评论，从两个方面来说。第一点是时代的潮流。第二点是说这一过程中保持和振兴各族文化是非常重要的——各个文化的独特之处才是最吸引外国朋友的。最后做结。
[妙笔生花]
第二段第二句的stand for 表示“代表”。第三句的touch、symbolize和harmonious blending 分别表示“笔法”、“象征着”和“和谐融合”。第四句的assume和inspiring分别表示“呈现、具有”和“激励人心的”。
第三段第二句中的economic globalization和trend of the times分别表示“经济全球化”和“时代潮流”。第三句中的open to、infiltrating into和lays down the foundation for分别表示“对…开放”、“渗透入”和“为…打下基础”。第四句中使用了破折号进行补充说明，前面的maintain和vitalize分别表示“保持”和“振兴”，破折号之后的appealing和unique分别表示“吸引人的”和“独特的”。末句以unique开头的倒装句结尾，句中的cross-cultural communication和promote world peace and prosperity分别表示“跨文化交际”和“促进世界和平和繁荣”。
2003年真题作文
Directions:
Study the following set of drawings carefully and write an essay in which you should:
1. describe the set of drawings, interpret its meaning, and
2. point out its implications in our life.
You should write about 200words neatly on ANSWER SHEET 2. (20 points)
【审题解题】
2003年考察了图画作文，提纲要求共分两点:第一点是描述图画，阐述其含义；第二点是指出在我们生活中的含意，即暗含的意思。注意这里meaning 和 implication 是不同的，前者指图画本身包含的意思是什么，而后者在这里指的是在现实生活中通过类比（analogy）所揭示的道理。
题目给出了两幅相对的图画:上面一幅图中，尽管外面正在下雨，温室中的花朵却在怒放。可是下面的一幅图中，这花朵一旦搬到了外界，在雷雨中立即就凋谢了，由此我们得出了“温室中的花朵经不起风雨”的推论，这就是两幅图画的含义。
其暗含的意思可以想见，指的就是当前社会孩子的教育问题。许多父母对孩子呵护有加，百般溺爱，不让孩子吃一点苦，受一点委屈，这样对孩子就好吗？此外在当前的教育制度下，孩子学习负担过重，绝大部分时间都在学校和家庭度过，没有多少接触社会的机会，又怎能茁壮成长呢？
经过分析文章最后定为三段。第一段是描述图画。第二段是类比于生活中孩子的教育问题，并从两方面来分析此现象产生的原因。而后的段内得出结论，这样的孩子就象温室里的花朵一样，是经不起人生的磨难的。最后一段是做结，由于提纲中没有单独例举这一点，所以此段可以非常简洁。
【核心词汇】
shape sharp contrast 形成强烈的对比
in full bloom 盛开
wither 凋谢，凋零
cannot stand natural wind and rain 经不起自然风雨
compare … to … 把…比做…
bring up children with tender care 细心照顾孩子成长
owing to 由于
the examination-oriented education system 应试教育体系
be heavily burdened with studies 背着沉重的学习负担
take part in social activities 参加社会活动
stand sufferings and overcome obstacles 经受磨难和克服困难
【点石成金】
The above two pictures have shaped sharp contrast to each other. In one picture, a flower grows in a greenhouse and is in full bloom in spite of the outside rain. But in the other, the flower, moved outside and without the protection of the green-which is raised in a greenhouse and carefully protected, cannot stand natural wind and rain at all.
It is most likely that the drawer means to compare children in our country to the flower in his drawings and reflect a problem in the present education of our children. For one thing, nowadays, most children are brought up by their parents with tender care. Parents always try their best to meet the children’s demands, to provide them with the best environment of growth and study and to protect them form any possible harms, setbacks and sufferings. For another, owing to the present examination-oriented education system, most children ant too heavily burdened with studies to have time to take part in social activities, so they learn little about the society, the real world outside their family and school. Growing up in such a manner and such an environment, the children will inevitably and naturally lack the ability to stand sufferings and overcome obstacles when they leave their parents and step into the society.
To sum up, the problem of children’s education must be solved timely and effectively because it is they who constitute the future of our country.
【黄金模板】
the above two pictures have shaped sharp contrast to each other. In one picture,…… But in the,…… The two pictures show that……
it is most likely that the drawer means to compare……to…… in his drawings and reflect a problem in …… For one thing …… For another……
to sum up ……
【结构点评】
谋篇布局时我们一定要扣昆所给的指令，特别是提纲。本文花分三段来写。第一段是描述两篇相对的图画，第一句是开篇句，第二、三句分述两幅图，第四句是本段重点，在对比过程中，得出图画的含义。
第二段首句推测绘画者的意图，引出了孩子教育这一重要问题。而后分两个方面来描述其原因。此段的末句非常精彩，是根据上述两个原因所作的推论，说明在此种情形下，孩子们离开父母、独自生活时又怎能经得起人生的风雨呢？
最后一段下结论，非常简洁， 但却相当于原因——办法类混合模板中的办法模块，说这一问题必须尽快有效地解决，因为孩子是我们国家的未来。
2004年真题作文
Directions:
Study the following drawing carefully and write an essay in which you should
1) describe the drawing
2) interpret its meaning, and
3) support your view with examples.
You should write about 200 words neatly on ANSWER SHEET 2. (20 points)
【审题解题】
2004年再次考察了图画作文—写作中这种形式的作文占据统治地位已有多年，这种趋势很可能仍将继续。提纲要求共分三点:第一点是描述图画；第二点是阐述其含义；第三点是用例子来支持自己的观点。
题中给出的图画是主人公是个正跑到终点线上的小男孩，他头上冒汗，嘴角却含着笑，地上一个箭头写着终点，而另一个却又写着起点。下面有一行字“终点又是新起点”。而这正是千百年颠扑不破的真理啊。人类的发展与进步的历史不就是不断奋勇向前的历史吗？
经过分析文章最后定三段。第一段是描述图画。第二段是类比于人类一条永恒的真理。第三段是举例，举的是著名的画家毕加索的例子——他的一生极具传奇色彩，他不仅是二十世纪世界最伟大的艺术家，而且还被喻为“最年轻的艺术家”——他一直到90岁高龄还保持极高的创作热情，勇于探索，不断创新。最后的段内做结，一个人、一个民族、一个国家想要实现梦想，创造奇迹，应该向毕加索学习，把终点当成是新的起点——这里是呼应主题，起了画龙点晴的作用。
【核心词汇】
annular tracks 环形跑道
the finishing line 终点线
start a new run 开始新的跑步
demonstrate a universal law 证明了一个普遍规律
keep forging ahead 不断前进
resting on laurels 停留在荣誉上面
remind…of… 让…想起…
enterprising spirit 进取精神
unremittingly 不松懈地
realize dreams and accomplish wonders 实现梦想，创造奇迹
【点石成金】
In the picture presented to us, a boy is running on annular tracks and reaching the finishing line. Heavily sweating as he is, a happy smile hangs on his lips. However, where an arrow marked with “Beginning”.
Though this picture only describes a runner who is going to start a new run after reaching the finishing line, yet it demonstrates a universal law that governs the development of mankind. In other words, if we want to make constant progress we must keep forging ahead instead of resting on laurels. Robertson once said, “Whenever he is satisfied with what he does, he has reached his culminating point—he will progress no more .”
This reminds me of Picasso, whose works greatly influenced the path of 20thcentury art. But what has impressed me most is not the notable success he has achieved but his enterprising spirit. Besides “the greatest artist of the 20th century”, he is acclaimed as “the youngest artist in the world” because he unremittingly pursued and explored new styles of painting all his life. After producing his most famous postimpressionist style, he later developed many other styles and even at the last moment of his life he was creating a new painting. I firmly believe that any person, any people or any country who ever wants to realize dreams and accomplish wonders should learn from Picasso and takes ends as new beginnings.

【结构点评】
文章共分三段。第一段对图画进行描述。共分三句。第一句和第二句描述主人公，第三句重点描述了画有“起点”和“终点”的箭头。
第二段分三句。首句从图画引人其包涵的深刻的道理。第二句是进一步的说明。第三句使用了名言来支持论断。第三段是举例的段落。首句引出毕加索这一伟人，此句说给人印象最深的不是他巨大的成功，而是他的进取精神。第三句与第四句进一步说明。第五句是结语，这里没另起侧面落。
【妙笔生花】
第一段首句中的annular tracks 表示“环形跑道”，the finishing line 表示“终点线”。第二句中使用了让步状语从句的变体形式，heavily sweating as he is 就相当于although he is heavily sweating; 其后的hang 一词用得非常生动。第三句中的arrow 这里表是“箭头”，marked with 这里是过去后分词短语作后置定语，表示“标有…的”；follow表示“接着”，与immediately 联系紧密，这是Beginning 和End 均使用了大写。
第二段第二句中的constant progress 表示“不断进步”；forge ahead 表示“前进”，通常有迎着困难的意思；instead of 突显了对比，rest on laurels 表示“停留在荣誉上面”。第三句是一句名言，其中culminating 表示“终极的、最后的”，注意句中破折号的用法。
第三段第二句中的notable 表示“值得注意的、显著的”；enterprising spirit 表示“进取精神”，这是重点词组，望熟记。第三句中的unremittingly 表示“不间断地，不松懈的”，其后的动词的平行用法，pursue 和 explore 分别表示“追求”和“探索”。第四句中的postimpressionist style 表示“后印象派风格”，注意句中的even 起加强语所的作用，非常引人注目，充分表现了毕加索热爱绘画事业、不懈追求的精神。最后一句的结语，realize dreams 和 accomplish wonders 分别表示“实现梦想”和“创造奇迹”，注意句中ever的用法。

大作文参考范文:
In the picture, there are five people, in the middle of which is an old man who is crouching. Around the old man are three young men and a young woman, each of whom is in the front of a goal.
I think the picture means that neither of the sons and the daughter will look after their father when he is old. They regard their father as a burden to live with although it is their duty to support parents when they grow up. The old man is like a football, since all of his sons and daughter want to abandon him and keep him far away from themselves.
It is no doubt that this phenomenon is becoming common in modern society, but it is not a good manner for young people to imitate. Most parents devote all their lives to bring up their children. They give their children everything they have just because of love and hope. They won’t blame you even when you treat them in a bad way. Therefore, it is necessary and compulsory for children to love and take after parents when parents are old.
