1. 09年范文: As issymbolically illustrated in the cartoon, a large number of people aresurfing on line within a stretching spider web, either to entertain themselvesor to meet the work's needs. Unfortunately,it seems rather ironic to present people separated from each other by thespider web when they attempt to communicate. Undoubtedly, the spider web servesas a symbol of Internet, both connecting people and isolating them fromeach other. Themetaphorical and impressive portrayal has subtly revealed the duality of therelationship between man and Internet. On the one hand, there is no denying that Internet is currently one of the most efficientmedia used for interpersonal communication. As a college student, I get online every day to discuss news with other people on BBS, to study English byregistering for web courses, to chat freely through MSN Messenger with myfriends. But on the other hand, a goodmany people admit that they are too much addicted to Internet to maintain face-to-face contact withtheir friends and colleagues. Onceindulged in the fictitious world, people feel reluctant to approach others andto concentrate on real life. That's why some people have lost the skill ofdirect contact and get alienated from others. Hence, it is necessary for us touse Internet in a reasonable way andrestrain from overindulgence. After all, Internet is invented to connect you and me, and to bring conveniences to ourlife rather than set a barrier to keep people beyond reach. 2. 08年范文: As issubtly portrayed in the drawing, two handicapped young men areheading towards their destination with vigorous strides, leaving all theircrutches behind. The hardship of disability being no longer an obstacle ontheir journey, they support each other with firm hands and proceed steadily. The caption indicates that they cantravel north and south extensively with combined legs. It isapparent that the cartoonist aims at reminding us of the importance of cooperationin our daily life. Hardly can anyone achieve success in hiscareer without the assistance ofhiscolleagues and partners. As competitionin all lines of work grows increasingly fierce, we must defeat our rivalsthrough powerful team work. Takebasketball hero Yao Ming for an example,he can slam the dunk smartly because all his teammates contribute more orless to his outstanding performance. Likewise,the successful launching of Chang’e No.1 lunar probe should be attributed tothe Chinese scientists’ joint efforts instead of individual accomplishment. Ifwe work separately, we will be confined to frail minds and limited resources. On the basis of the analysis above,we may draw a conclusion that cooperation and team work really count in this competitive society.Hence, we should associate ourselves harmoniously with our companions in every attempt towards our goals. Inaddition, it is indispensable to train our kids frequently to interactsmoothly with others in a team. As theproverb goes, unity is strength. 3、 07年高分作文 As we cansee from the picture, a football match is going on. Onguarding the goal, the man on the left seems to be keeping a “huge goal” thatis easy and inevitable for a goal, while the person on the right hesitates tokick the ball with an illusion about the “huge goalkeeper”. It is obvious that both of themexaggerate the difficulties in front of them. This photo does reflect athought-provoking social phenomenon which is not uncommon in China now. Theyoung always give up because the problem is beyond their ability to cope with. Superficially, it seems to be somewhatreasonable, but when weighing in the mind, we find there is an apparenttendency underlying this phenomenon: the lack of confidence. Firstly, it is well-known that weexist in a dynamic world with various difficulties. We can do nothing but facethem. Secondly, attitude is the keypoint to take the first step. Assume bravery and confidence to solve theproblem, you will find the question is not as “huge” as you imagine. Take usfor example, the entrance exam for graduate students even seems to a horriblemonster before us. Some people give up, some persist. So, with confidence andthe right assessment of the difficulties, try and exert your strength, and thenwe will overcome all problems. On thewhole, I believe we young people should face thedifficulties in right manner. And nothing is impossible, just do it. 4. 06年范文: As is vividly depicted in the photosabove, Beckham, the smart British football superstar, isenjoying a striking popularity among the adolescents. In the first picture,Beckham’s name appears on a young man’s face. The caption indicates thatworship for the idol is written on the face. In the second photo,another young man is doing Beckham’s chic hairstyle in a barbershop. We areinformed that he is spending 300 yuan imitating his idol’s haircut. Undoubtedly, the pictures have subtlyreflected the social phenomenon that idolworship is prevalent among the teenagers nowadays. Beckham representsthe image of sport hero whose handsome appearance and unparalleled footballskills are passionately adored by all the sports fans. Likewise, severalteenage girls won their fame overnight in The 2005 Super Girl Contest in China, whichprovoked nationwide noisy debates on the value and harm of admiring theseidols. Briefly speaking, young people are inclined to idolize the peoplewho excel in appearance, intelligence or talent. Hence,idolatry, the thought-provoking social phenomenon, is a double-edged swordwhich can exert profound influence on the growth of young people. If we simplyworship the idols by imitating their hairstyles or pursuing fashionsunreasonably, the obsession will certainly waste us a great deal of money ortime, endangering the efficiency of our work. On the contrary, we will lead apositive and fruitful life if we endeavor to improve ourselves by bridgingthe gap between our models and us. Accordingly, the latter attitude shouldbe adopted to direct our way of life. 5、05年范文 As is shown inthe picture, we can see that with the rapid/speedy social and economicdevelopment, thenumber of the young/youth whofinancially support senior citizens sharply decreases. In the picture,there are four grown-up children whoare playing a football match of caring the old. The caption reads, it isa “football game of looking after the elders”. The purpose ofthe picture is to show us that due attention has to be paid to the mistreatment of the elderly.Owing to selfishness, the number of adolescents taking care of the elder has obviously shrunk. If we let this situation go as it is, we do not know where the aged will be in the future. By that time, our society will suffer a great destruction. Hence, it isimperative for us to take drastic measures. For one thing,we should appeal to our authorities to make strict laws to severlypunish those ill-treating old people. For another, we should enhance the awareness of people that repecting our parents is very vitalto us. Only in this way can we protect our aged parents. Also Ibelieve that we human beings can improvethe present situation, and we willhave a brighter future. 6、 03年范文: The set of drawings above vividly depictsthe destiny of a flower in different circumstances. As is shown in the firstcartoon, the flower is placed in a comfortable greenhouse that shelters itfrom the threatening lightning and storm. With proper temperature, moisture andfertilizer, the flower is growing in full bloom. On the contrary, whenremoved from the greenhouse and exposed to the driving rain, the flower soonfades and withers, with the petals scattered on the ground. To begin with, thepurpose of the drawings is to show us that the flower growing in the greenhouse cannot withstand the test of the storm, yet the symbolic meaningssubtly conveyed should be taken more seriously. The delicate flower isnaturally associated with young people, to be specific, the onlychildren in our current society; the greenhouse epitomizes parents’doting care and abundant material supplies that can shield the children fromthe storms, or the harsh reality. Once the young people begin to seekindependence and accept challenges from the real world, they are found toospoiled to be strong enough in the face of difficulties. Accordingly, it is vital for us to derivepositive implications from these thought-provoking drawings. On the one hand,we can frequently use them to enlighten the youth tobe more independent in life. On the other hand, parents should besensible enough to give their children more freedom to deal with troublesand problems. Only by undergoing more challenges and toils in adversitycan young people cultivate strong personality and ability, and only in thisway can they become winners in thiscompetitive world. 7. 02年范文: The picture vividly depicts a lovely American girl in traditional Chinese costume with asweet smile on her face. She wears ribbons, necklaces and other accessoriesthat are characteristic of the clothes of a certain Chinese minoritygroup. Undoubtedly, the costume has added oriental charm/glamour to herbeautiful look/appearance/features. What the picture conveys goesfar beyond only/merely a new fashion trend.Instead, it carries cultural meanings/implications as well. The fact thatpeople from different countries are attracted to mysterious Chinese culture indicatesthat to some extent a culture can be accepted, respected, appreciated andshared internationally. In other words, a nation’sunique/distinctive culture can become international through worldwide economicand cultural exchanges. Since the trend of globalization becomeirresistible, the increasing cultural exchanges can effectively improvemutual understanding and friendship. It is my view thatnational culture as priceless spiritual treasure should be preserved andcherished. Meanwhile, there are good reasons to advocate internationalculture for those ideas from the other cultures, controversial or even absurdat first sight, can provide a different perspective for us to observe the worldin the long run. Nevertheless, when we are confronted with adifferent culture, we should be sensibleenough to absorb its essence and toresist its dark side. Only in this way can we promote culturaldevelopment positively and make our world dimensional, colorful and vigorous. 8. 01年范文: When we use the word“love”, we do not simply mean anattraction to a person of the opposite sex,which is a very narrow definition of the word. The picture below illustratesthe real meaning of love, bystressing the fact that love isemotional strength, which can support us no matter how dark the world around usbecomes. As a matter of fact, throughout history people of many differentcultures have regarded love as themost sublime of human emotions. As an illustration of the power of love, we should remember how the Chinese peopleof all nationalities respond to the call to help the victims of the deadlyearthquake in Sichuan Province. Although theirincomes are still low by international standards, people all over the countrydo not hesitate to donate whatever they can——be it money or goods——to helptheir needy fellow citizens. Furthermore, they do this with no thought of gainfor themselves. It is my view that the best way to showlove is to help people who are moreunfortunate than we are. We should always be ready to give a helping hand tothose who are in trouble, no matter whether they are family members or completestrangers. 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 morebrightly the lamp of love shines. 9、 2000年范文 As is shown inthe pictures, we can see that with the increase of commercial fishing,the number of fishes sharply decreased. In one picture,there were various kinds of fish and only one fishing-boat in 1900. On the contrary, in 1995 there was only one fish, but many fishing-boats. The purpose ofthis picture is to show us that due attention has to be paid to the decrease of ocean resources.Owing to over-fishing, the number of fishes has obviouslydecreased. If we let this situation go as it is, we won’t know where fishis in the future. By that time, ourenvironment will suffer a greatdestruction. Therefore, it isimperative for us to take drastic measures. For one thing,we should appeal to our authorities to make strict laws tocontrol commercial fishing. For another, we should enhance the awareness of people that the ocean resources are vital to us.Only in this way can we protect our ocean resources. Also Ibelieve that we human beings can overcomethis difficulty, and we will have a bright future. 10、 98年范文: The pastseveral years have witnessed a phenomenon that a varietyof promises have been arising from allwalks 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 roundwithout any angles and corners and have shells, egg whites and yolks. Oddand funny as they sound, such false 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 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 intention to make suchcommitments is nothing but to put on civilized outer clothing to please ordeceive the public. Idare say that our society is suffering corruption and cheat which are causingdamage to society both materially and morally. But the hen and her like should know that by dishonestwords no one can survive the intense competition under market economy system.They should remember the old saying, “Honesty is the best policy”. 1、求学信: Directions: You want to study at a certain foreignuniversity.
