北京拥 250 万辆汽车，其中私家车达到 170 万辆。
范文
With the living standards rising rapidly, more and more Beijing residents have cars of their own. Statistics show that in Beijing alone, there are 2500,000 cars, among which private cars add up to （ =number ） 1700,000. The increase in the number of cars brings about a lot of problems, such as air pollution, noise, traffic congestion and gas shortage. Then a controversy arises: whether private cars should be encouraged in Beijing? People differ in their opinions on it.
Many residents are against owning cars. According to them, private cars have to be limited in Beijing. The reasons for it are obvious. To begin with, cars contribute to air pollution. Beijing is now plagued by serious air pollution. If people are to have cars of their own, the already contaminated atmosphere will get even dirtier. Secondly, private cars can be a terrible threat to the already heavy traffic in the city. If more cars are allowed onto busy streets, there will be more traffic jams, which is really a public hazard to all of us. Finally, cars consume a large amount of fuel. Though China is rich in its oil resources, they are running out rapidly. All these facts allow of only one solution: to limit the ever growing number of cars.
In my opinion, private cars should be discouraged in Beijing. In order to leave clean air, wide and safe roads and abundant energy resources to our descendants, we have to say “No” to private cars. As far as the great demand for means of transport is concerned, we can develop mass transit to take the place of private cars. In short, Beijing does not need private cars.
译文：
随着生活水平的迅速提高，越来越多的北京居民拥有自己的汽车。统计数字表明，北京有 250 万辆汽车，其中私家车达到 170 万辆。汽车数量的增加产生了一系列问题，如空气污染、噪音、交通堵塞和汽油短缺。这样就引起了一场争论：北京是否应该鼓励私家车？人们对这个问题有不同的想法。
许多人反对拥有汽车。在他们看来，北京必须限制私家车。原因很明显。首先，汽车加剧了空气污染。北京的空气严重污染。如果人们都要拥有私家车，已经污染的大气将变得更脏。其次，私家车可能对北京业已拥挤的交通状况是一个可怕的威胁。如果更多的汽车开上繁华的街道，交通堵塞将会更严重。这对我们大家来说确是公害。最后，汽车消耗大量燃料。虽然中国拥有丰富的石油资源，但是它们正在日趋减少。所有这些事实只能有一种解决办法：限止日益增长的汽车数量。
我的看法是北京不应该鼓励私家车。为把清洁的空气、宽阔安全的道路和富饶的石油资源留给子孙后代，我们对私家车只能说 “ 不 ” 。至于对交通工具的巨大需求，我们可以发展公交系统来代替私家车。总而言之，北京不需要私家车。

Directions: Write an essay of 160-200 words based on the following drawing. In your essay, you should first describe the drawing, then interpret its meaning, and give your comment on it.
“ 考试恐惧症 ”
范文
Testing students by examinations has long been regarded as a reliable way to assess students’ competence . But disproportion ate emphasis on examinations has brought about terrible results. As is depicted in the picture, a schoolboy, frightened to death by examinations, huddles himself up under a desk, refusing to go to school. His parents are trying to comfort him, saying “Come out, there are no examinations today.”
This drawing implies the harmful effect of examinations on children’s psyche. On the one hand, teachers tend to make use of different kinds of testing to force students to work hard at school. On the other hand, most parents think that school records are the sole criterion for judging the quality of a child’s work. It often happens that a child is punished heavily by his parents just because he does not do well in one examination or another. Therefore, pupils are extremely afraid of taking examinations.
As far as I’m concerned , examinations are an effective form of assessment if properly used. But teachers and parents should encourage pupils to concentrate on what they do well at school. And schools have an important duty to try to fit a child’s interest to his possible future career. On no account should they reckon examination as the only means of stimulating pupils to pursue knowledge. （ 218 words ）
译文：
通过考试来测试学生长期以来被认为是评估学生能力的可靠方法。可是不恰当的强调考试已经产生了可怕的后果。正如这幅画所描绘的，一个学童由于极度害怕考试躲在书桌底下缩成一团，不肯去上学。他的父母亲正在努力安慰他，告诉他说， “ 孩子，出来吧，今天没有考试。 ”
这幅画暗示了考试对儿童心灵的有害影响。一方面，老师们往往利用各种测试来迫使学在校努力学习。另一方面，许多家长认为学习成绩是评判孩子学习质量的惟一标准。常常发生这样的事：儿童由于在某次考试中没考好而受到家长的严厉惩罚。因此，学生十分害怕考试。
至于我，我认为，考试如果使用得当，是一种有效的评估形式。可是教师和家长有义务鼓励学生把精力集中在学校里学习得好的功课上。学校的一项重要职责是力图使学生的兴趣适合于他将来可能的工作。他们无论如何也不能把考试认为是激励学生学习知识的惟一手段。

范文
It is vividly depicted in the cartoon that a boy is running along the racetrack with painstaking efforts, sweat pouring down his face. After a long journey, he is making the final spurt toward the finishing line, with strong determination to become the champion. It seems that he could rest for a while to enjoy the ecstasy of victory. However, straight ahead lies a sign which indicates a new "starting point" and urges him to continue rushing to the next destination.
Undoubtedly the cartoon conveys the meaning that life is like the process of running in which one should make constant efforts and never stop making progress. Owing to the quickening pace of life, competition goes increasingly fierce in all walks of life, stimulating everyone to pursue one goal after another. Once a person stops making progress, he can hardly maintain his past glory and survive in this competitive world. As Deng Xiaoping, the great Chinese leader said, "development is the only way." No matter how powerful a country is, no matter how successful a specific institution, it will definitely seek new development in high speed. Generally speaking, neither a country nor a person can remain stagnant.
A case in point is the successful launching of "Shenzhou V Spacecraft" which sets china in a high position of aviation and space flight. Although it means a great achievement for us Chinese, we are facing new challenges in the future and need to do further research in space technology. Another illustration is closely related to us, the examinees. If we pass this test and are fortunately admitted by a university, we shall not stop making efforts. Instead, we are confronted with the challenge of conquering the difficult graduate courses. We still have to strive for success in our future academic study, employment and career. On the whole, these examples effectively clarify the saying that "destination is another starting point." （ 317 ）
译文：
这幅图画生动地描绘了一个男孩在沿着跑道奔跑。他付出了艰辛的努力，汗水淌下脸庞。在长途跋涉之后，他在朝着终点冲刺，并拥有强大的决心成为冠军。似乎他可以休息一下，去享受胜利的狂喜。然而，正前方有一个写着 “ 起点 ” 的标记，鼓励他继续朝着下一个目标冲去。
毫无疑问，这幅画显示了人生就像跑步的过程一样，人们应该做出不断的努力，而且决不要停止前进。由于生活节奏的加快，各行各业的竞争日趋激烈，激励每个人去追求一个又一个的目标。一旦一个人停止取得进步，他就很难保持过去的荣誉并在此竞争世界中生存下去。正如伟大的中国领导人邓小平所说： “ 发展才是硬道理。 ” 无论一个国家多么强大，无论一个具体的组织多么成功，它都需要寻求高速发展。总之，无论一个国家还是一名个人都不能停滞不前。
一个典型的例子就是 “ 神舟五号 ” 飞船的成功发射，使中国在航空和空间飞行中处于高端地位。尽管这对我们中国人意味着巨大的成就，但我们在未来正面临着新的挑战，并需要在空间技术方面进行继续研究。另一个例子和我们考生密切相关。如果我们经过了考试，并幸运地被一所大学所录取，我们也不应停止努力。相反，我们面临着征服艰巨的研究生课程的挑战，并且还要在未来的学术研究、就业和职业生涯中努力争取成功。总而言之，这些例证有效地证明了 “ 终点又是新起点 ” 这一说法。

养老 “ 足球赛 ”
范文
As is vividly depicted in the cartoon, four children are playing a "football match" of taking care of their aged father. Each of them stands in a different corner of a football field. The eldest son kicked out the father with the other three children guarding their goals.
The purpose of the drawing is to show us that due attention has to be paid to the mistreatment of senior citizens. First and foremost, some people shirk their duty of financially supporting their old and helpless parents due to their own interests. Furthermore, some elderly people are often ill-treated by their own children and cannot lead a normal life. Last but not least, while some young people enjoy a comfortable life, their parents are neglected and reduced to utter poverty.
It is imperative for us to take drastic measures. To begin with , relevant laws and regulations should be made to severely punish those who shun the responsibilities of caring their parents. In addition, we should cultivate the awareness of the young that respecting the old has always been the traditional virtue of Chinese culture. Only in this way can we curb the current evil phenomenon revealed in the picture. （ 198 ）
译文：
如图所示，四个孩子在打一场照顾他们年迈父母的 “ 足球赛 ” 。每个人站在球场的一角。大儿子踢出父亲，其他三个孩子守着球门。
这幅图的目的是告诉我们应该重视虐待老年人问题。首先，有些人由于自己的利益逃避赡养他们年迈无助父母的责任。其次，有些老年人经常被他们自己的子女虐待，不能过正常生活。最后，当一些年轻人享受舒适生活的同时，他们的父母被忽视，一贫如洗。
我们急需采取严厉措施。一方面，我们应该制定相关的法律法规严惩那些逃避养老责任的人。另一方面，我们应该培养人们的意识：尊老是中华文化的传统美德。只有这样我们才能制止图画中所显示的这种丑恶现象。

范文
What vivid pictures ! One presents a young man’s face, on which the name Beckham is painted, and the other depicts an equally disturbing situation, where a teenager spends 300 yuan on his haircut simply because he wants to follow Beckham’s hairstyle. Obviously, the drawer intends to remind us how crazily these youngsters are adoring their icons.
The pictures really set me thinking . I cannot help associating them with another hot word “supergirl”, which almost swept over every Chinese in the year 2005. They are mirrors, reflecting how eager the youth are to succeed like their icons. In recent years, with China’s steady economic growth, the youngsters have enjoyed material abundance, which, however, does not always mean spiritual satisfaction. On the opposite, many of them find themselves increasingly indulged in pursuing meaningless things. They imitate whatever their icons do: how to look cool, how to look for fun, and even how to play hide-and-seek with reporters. They envy how successful their icons have become, yet they never take a look at the thorny road, along which, their icons climb up to success.
Personally , I hold it self-evident that this kind of craziness will do great harm to the youth. It is high time that they were taught how to adore icons properly. It is the responsibility of every educational institution to call upon the youth to learn one thing about success: success always results from hard work. （ 237 words ）
译文：
多么生动的照片啊！一幅照片展现了一个年轻人的脸，脸上写着贝克汉姆的名字；另一幅照片描绘了同样令人不安的情境，一位青年花 300 元理个发，就是为了模仿贝克汉姆的发式。显然，作者打算提醒我们，这些青年人多么狂热地崇敬他们的偶像。
这些照片确实发人深省。我不由得把它们与另一个热门词 “ 超女 ” 联系起来，在 2005 年 “ 超女 ” 这个词几乎风靡全国。这些照片是镜子，反映了年轻人渴望成功，犹如他们的偶像。最近几年来，随着中国经济稳步增长，年轻人享受到了物质上的富裕，但是这并不总是意味着精神上的满足。相反，他们中很多人越来越沉溺于追求毫无意义的事。他们仿效他们偶像的行为：如何看上去酷、如何寻找欢乐，甚至如何与记者捉迷藏。他们羡慕他们的偶像已经飞黄腾达，然而却从来不看一看偶像们攀登通向成功的荆棘之路。
依我看，很显然，这种狂热对年轻人颇为有害。现在该是教育年轻人如何正确敬仰偶像。每个教育机构的责任是号召年轻人学会成功之道：成功总是来自于刻苦努力。
