2015考研英语一高频命题（大作文）

1、青少年教育

Parents should be sensible enough to（充分意识到） give their children more freedom to deal with troubles and problems. Only by undergoing（经历） more challenges and toils in adversity can young people cultivate strong personality and ability（强大的个性和能力）, and only in this way can they become winners in this competitive world.

父母应该充分意识到：应当给予孩子更多的自由去处理麻烦和问题。只有在困境中经历更多的挑战和艰辛，年轻人才能培养出强大的个性和能力，只有这样，他们才能在充满竞争的世界中成为胜者。

Many parents exert every effort（竭尽全力） to arrange everything for their children, depriving them of（剥夺） the opportunities to undergo frustration and ordeals（坎坷与磨难） and learn from them so that their grownup children can not deal with the stress from the competitive world and even become the so called “NEETs”（啃老族）.

他们竭尽全力为孩子安排好一切，剥夺了孩子经历坎坷与磨难并从中学习的机会，以至于孩子长大成人后不能处理来自竞争世界的压力，甚至成为所谓的“啃老族”。

2、青少年学习压力

All work and no play makes Jake a dull boy.（只学习不玩耍，聪明的孩子也变傻（在美国非常流行的谚语）） Before looking for after-class tutors, parents should learn well about their children as well as their studies.

只学习不玩耍，聪明的孩子也变傻。在进行课外补习之前，家长们应该先了解自己的孩子，就像了解他们的学习那样。

3、大学生就业困难

The deficiency of pre-employment education（职前教育） in university; Students do not focus their attention on study but on online games and campus love.

大学职前教育的缺乏；一些学生没有把精力放在学习上，而是专注于网络游戏和校园恋爱。

University can set some employment-related courses. What’s more, Students should have more social practice off campus.

大学可以开设一些与就业相关的课程。另外，学生应该有更多的校外实习经验。

应试教育的弊端

On a tree sprout four branches, which are symbols of academic abilities（学术能力）, practical abilities（实践能力）, organization abilities（组织能力） and acting abilities（表演能力）. A saw, a symbol of education, violently cuts down three branches, leaving the only one symbolizing academic abilities.

This picture illustrates a current problematic standard practice in education which stresses only academic learning. High scores in examinations or rather academic success is apparently the main pursuit by most students, parents and teachers. In china, a great educational background is always considered as a sure ticket to a lucrative career（有钱途的职业） and a successful life. Children, consequently, are expected to go along the same growth path from a famous kindergarten to a good primary school to a key middle school and then hopefully to a well-known university. If a child shows no interest in traditional learning, even though he is talented in other fields, he will be considered as an idle person without big dreams and be severely punished.

This education principle was fruitful（有成效的）when university students were highly valued by the job market but no longer productive since the job market has greatly changed. The job market requires more than academic ability nowadays. People with admirable educational background will also fail because of lack of other abilities. There are many forms of abilities for a person, and we’d better strive for a balanced development.

一棵树上生出四个枝杈，分别象征着学术能力、实践能力、组织能力和表演能力。一把象征教育的锯生硬地把三个分枝砍掉了，只剩下了一个象征学术能力的枝丫。

这幅图说明了当前在教育界，标准的惯例是有问题的：只强调学术学习。很明显，大部分的学生、父母、老师最主要追求的是考试中取得高分以及学术上的成功。在中国，好的教育背景一直被认为是高薪工作和成功人生的入场券。所以孩子们都期待能有这样的人生：从著名的幼儿园到知名的小学，再到重点高中，然后希望考上名牌大学。如果一个孩子对传统的教育不感兴趣，尽管他在其它领域有天赋，人们也会认为他是一个没有梦想无所事事的人，还会受到严厉的惩罚。

当职场赋予大学生高的价值，这个教育理念就是有益的，但因为职场有了很大的变化，这一理念已经不再有益了。现在的职场需要的不仅是学术能力，有着非凡教育背景的人因为缺乏其它能力也会失败。一个人有各种各样的能力，我们最好追求平衡发展。

1、过程比结果更重要

It is wise and advisable to（受人推崇） peacefully enjoy the process rather than to be preoccupied with anxious longing for the outcome. In addition, being impatient for results is not advocated（提倡） also because it will probably lead people to act rashly and consequently, exert destructive effects on fulfillment of expectations.

安静地享受过程远比匆忙地寻求结果更智慧，更受人推崇。除此之外，对结果毫无耐心也不值得提倡，因为它会使人们行动鲁莽，注重结果，破坏期待。

2、行动的力量

The more action we take, the more likely we are to accumulate experience, master skills and get close to our destination. Dream guides action; action facilitate dream.（梦想引导行动，行动实现梦想）

行动越多，积累的经验、技能越多，距离终点越近。梦想引导行动，行动实现梦想。

3、努力创造机会

Fighting for opportunities are always necessary and rewarding, especially in this competitive world. Waiting for opportunities form heaven is mostly like to result in a dull and unproductive life.

努力创造机会总是必要的，也是值得的。尤其是在这个竞争激烈的社会。等到机会从天而降很大程度上会导致过一种枯燥而没有成就的生活。

态度与幸福

As is revealed in the cartoon, a boy is contemplating（认为）the true meaning of happiness. It is indeed a tough question for him: what is happiness? Making a huge sum of money, or winning true love, or keeping good health, or what? The picture is fairly thought-provoking（发人深省）, which intends to convey to us this message: Due attention should be paid to the constant topic of human—happiness.

We can easily recognize the significance of attitude in terms of happiness. On the one hand, some have suffered a great deal but generally remain happy. Take the victims of Wen Chuan earthquake as an example, they lost their families and even something more precious, but they eventually stepped out of the pain to rebuild their home. On the other hand, people who have a relatively easy and comfortable life, and yet are essentially unhappy. Without a positive attitude or the determination to find the little happiness of life, you are destined to（注定）be grievous, no matter what kind of situation you are in.

Considering all the points discussed above, it is advisable that we highly value optimism and apply it in our studies and work. We are, therefore, supposed to take a rational attitude. Happiness is an attitude, not a condition, which lies in the unswerving efforts（坚持不懈的努力）to complete one’s life.

如图所示，一个男孩沉思着“幸福”的真正含义。这对他确实是很难回答的问题，什么是幸福呢？挣大钱，赢得真爱，永葆健康，还是其它？这个图片令人沉思，它试图传递给我们这样一个信息：我们应该适当关注人类这个永恒的话题——幸福。

我们很容易就能认识到在“幸福”这个话题中“态度”的重要性。一种情况，一些人遭受了很多，但仍然很幸福。就拿汶川地震的受害者为例，他们失去了家园，甚至是更加宝贵的东西，但最终还是走出痛苦，重建了家园。而有些人过着相对惬意舒适的生活，但一点儿都不快乐。可见，如果你没有积极乐观的态度和寻找生活中小幸福的决心，不管你身处何境，都注定是悲伤的。

综上所述，我们应该重视乐观的态度并把它应用到我们的学习和工作中。因此，我们应该有一个合理的理念：幸福是一种态度，而不是一种条件，它的实现在于通过不断地努力让自己的人生更加完美。

1、城市快速发展问题

The unprecedented expansion of cities undoubtedly leads to the excessive concentration of population, which in turn brings about a series of problems, such as environmental pollution， traffic jam，crime and high housing prices（环境污染、交通堵塞、高房价）.

城市空前扩张无疑造成人口的过度集中，这反过来又会产生一系列问题，如环境污染、交通堵塞、高房价。

The focus of urban authorities should be on consolidation and upgrading（整合和升级） of urban infrastructure. Great attention should be paid to developing a mechanism to monitor the carrying capacity of both resources and environment of cities to achieve urban layout optimization.

因此市政部门应关注城市基础设施的整合和升级。还应该重视建立一种机制来监督城市资源和环境的承受能力，以达到城市布局最优化。

2、低碳生活

There could be a different way to live our lives—a low-carbon way（低碳生活）. A low-carbon life can help save energy, cut down the pollution and reduce the amount of carbon dioxide that is the main cause of the greenhouse effect.

还有一种不同的生活方式，即低碳生活。低碳生活有助于节约资源、降低污染、减少二氧化碳的排放量。

3、不文明旅游

Laws and regulations must be set up and firmly implemented to eliminate bad manners in the places of interest. Also, a national-wide campaign must be launched to enhance people’s awareness of protecting the nature. Only by enforcing these measures, can we effectively, efficiently, and eventually solve the problem.

应该制定法律、法规并强力实施消除景点的不良行为。另外，发起全国范围内的运动来增强人们保护自然的意识。只有强制执行这些措施，我们才能有效、高效、并最终地解决这个问题。

环境保护

The cartoon presents the Earth with a personified human face that seems quite unhappy. An examination of the picture immediately reveals that the source of its mood is the air pollution resulting from a huge number of automobiles spread around its surface.

The cartoon, no doubt, aims at alarming humans of the heavy load we have exerted on Earth by our insatiable（贪得无厌的） production and usage of automobiles. However, the majority of people merely indulge in（沉迷于） the celebration of the convenience brought by cars, while forgetting or simply neglecting their harmful impact on the atmosphere. Admittedly（应当承认）, there are various factors contributing to the current worldwide air pollution, but it is undeniable that（不可否认地） the exhaust from automobiles is categorized as one of the major elements.

I would like to make the following proposals to solve this problem: firstly, we should apply the most cutting-edge technologies（前沿技术） in order to adopt new forms of energy（新能源） as substitutes for（取代）fossil fuels（矿物燃料）. It should also be guaranteed that the clean energy be inexpensive so that it can be widely accepted. Besides, there should be attempts to develop possible transportation means, so that citizens can be diverted from（摆脱）dependence on cars. In short, it is humans’ responsibility to resume（恢复，唤回）clean air for Earth.

这幅漫画以拟人的方式呈现地球，它的脸显得非常不高兴。仔细观察这幅图就会发现其郁闷来自于空气污染，这是由于其表面上有着无数车辆在行驶。

毫无疑问，这幅漫画意在向人们敲响警钟，即人类永不知足的生产和使用汽车给我们的地球带来了巨大的负担。但是，大部分人却沉溺于汽车带来的便利，而忘记了或者是忽略了其对大气层的负面影响。诚然，有很多因素导致了现在的全球空气污染问题，但是不能否认的是汽车废气被归为最重要的因素之一。

为了解决这个问题，我想提出以下建议：第一，我们应该运用最先进的技术从而以新能源替代化石燃料。同时，我们要确保清洁能源的价格低廉以得到大众的接受。此外，我们应该尝试发展各种交通方式，这样市民们能够摆脱对于汽车的依赖。简而言之，人类有责任使地球空气恢复到清洁状态。

1、中西方文化合璧

As national culture becomes international culture, people in the world better understand each other. We are all villagers in this global village（地球村）. Mutual respect and understanding make this world a better place to live in.

民族文化也是世界的，所以全世界的人们能够更好的理解对方。我们都是地球村的村民，相互的尊重和理解让这个地球更适宜居住。

Different countries are attracted to each other, indicates that to some extent different cultures can be accepted，respected，appreciated and shared internationally（被接受，被尊重，被欣赏以及被共享）.

不同国家之间相互吸引，表明从某种程度上来说，不同国家的文化能在全球范围内被接受，被尊重，被欣赏以及被共享。

保护文化遗产

Recently, there has been a growing concern among the public over the phenomenon that a great number of ancient buildings have been destroyed in some large cities, with launching of the construction projects. This has definitely generated serious negative effects（消极影响）.

To the best of my knowledge, several reasons can be identified to account for this phenomenon. To begin with, businessmen want to make huge profits when they build new buildings. Moreover, the government has not done enough to protect these ancient buildings. Last but not least, the fact that people have not realized the significance of our historical treasures（历史财富） is also responsible for this phenomenon（也是另外一个原因）.

Considering all the points discussed, it is highly sensible that we take prompt measures to resolve this problem. In the first place, the government is supposed to make laws to stop destroying ancient building. In the second, the media need to enhance people’s awareness in ancient building protection. Only by enforcing these measures, can we effectively, efficiently, and eventually solve the problem.

近日，人们越来越关心一个现象：在一些大城市，随着建筑工程的兴起，大量的古建筑被拆除。这种做法必定会产生严重的负面影响。

据我所知，有些原因可以解释这个现象。首先，商人想通过建设新的工程而谋取暴利。其次，政府在保护古建筑方面做得不够。另外，人们没有意识到历史遗产的重要意义也是造成这一现象的一个原因。

鉴于以上提出的观点，我们采取及时的措施来解决这个问题是非常理智的。首先，政府应该制定法律阻止破坏古代建筑。其次，媒体需要加强人们保护古建筑的意识。只有通过实施这些措施，我们才能有效地、高效地、并最终地解决这个问题。

1、诚信危机

Cheating is pervasive, such as plagiarism（剽窃） in academic circle, frauds in the business field and unfounded reports through the media. we need to recover our trust in each other and this will only happen when we individually and as a society learn to cherish honesty again as something really valuable to our human dignity.

失信随处可见，比如学术界剽窃，商人诈骗，新闻报道无根据。我们应该恢复彼此间的信任，只有当我们不论在个人层面还是集体层面都学会重新珍视诚信，将其作为真正为人类带来尊严的素质时，彼此间的信任才能出现。

A lack of trust is detrimental to personal relationship since “trust is the glue of life（信任是生活的粘合剂）. it’s the most essential ingredient in effective communication. It’s the foundational principal that holds all relationship.

缺乏信任对人际关系有害，因为信任是生活的粘合剂，它是有效沟通的重要因素，是维系所有关系的基本原则。

Confucius, the greatest ancient sage in China, once said, "He who lack of credibility cannot be counted on for anything（人无信而无用）".

孔子，中国古代最伟大的圣人说过，“人无信而无用”。

诚信-食品安全问题

From the cartoons given above, we can see that the cow is explaining to the little baby that it is not her fault for giving the poisoned power milk/the keeper is feeding the pig with Clenbuterol （瘦肉精）.The cartoon wisely reflects the food safety issues （食品安全问题） which occur in recent years. Food safety related to people’s health and it concerns about people’s basic livelihood. Since the Sanlu Incident occurred in 2008, the entire society was increasingly concerned about food safety issue. It was in this context that the food safety issue has been referred to an unprecedented height.

Problems leading to food safety are as follows: 1) using poor quality raw materials in the food manufacturing process; 2) adding toxic substances（有毒物质）; 3) excessive use of food additives（食品添加剂）; 4) abusing of chemical additives and so on. There are many reasons that cause this problem. It is regulators, producers, and even consumers who share the responsibilities.

As Confucius instructed: better late than never. Prompt and strict measures should be taken to turn back （扭转）this evil trend. The government should launch a massive moral campaign to educate all citizens and draw up（制定） tougher laws to crack down on those irresponsible corporations and prohibit them from entering the food industry again. I am firmly convinced that through our combined efforts we are bound to enjoy more risk-free foods in the days ahead.

从上面的卡通图片我们可以看到：一只奶牛正在向这个小宝宝解释说生产有毒奶粉不是它的错/饲养员正在给猪喂瘦肉精。该卡通图片巧妙地反映了近年来我们社会中存在的食品安全问题。食品安全问题关系到人民健康，是最基本的民生问题。自2008年“三鹿事件”发生以来，全社会对食品安全问题的关注越来越高。正是在这种情况下，食品安全问题被提到了空前的高度。

食品安全主要存在以下问题：在生产食品过程使用劣质的原材料，添加有毒物质，过量使用防腐剂，滥用化学添加剂等。引起这一问题的原因有很多，监管者、生产者甚至是消费者都有责任。

正如孔子教导的：过而能改，善莫大焉。我们应该采取及时严厉的措施来扭转这一不好的局面。政府应该发起大量的道德运动以教育所有的市民，并制定更严厉的法律打击那些不负责任的企业，并禁止他们再次进入食品行业。我坚信，通过我们的共同努力，我们一定会在未来的日子中享受更多的无风险食品。

1、网络利弊

With amazing development of society, computers have led to the improvement of working style of many people. Moreover, internet links the world so that people can gain various information on it.

随着社会日新月异的发展，计算机引起了许多人工作方式的改变。并且，互联网连接着整个世界，人们可以得到各种各样的信息。

The more time people spend on internet, the less time they spend on communication in real life. What’s worse, some, especially the youngsters tend to become addicted to the internet（沉迷于网络）.

人们在互联网上花费的时间越多，在现实生活中花费的时间就越少。更糟糕的是，有些人，尤其是年轻人很容易沉迷于网络。

For my part, I believe the advantages far outweigh its negative effects（利大于弊）. It is preferable that we make full use of the advantages and meanwhile minimize the negative effects（扬长避短）.

我认为，利大于弊。建议我们充分发挥其长处同时避免其消极的影响。

人们对网络的依赖

As is shown above, in front of a computer happily sits a teenager, attempting to work on his homework effortlessly, with the help from the internet finishing the job for him. There has been a heated discussion about this picture in the news paper recently. Simple as the picture is, it does demonstrate certain thought-provoking social phenomenon.

The picture tells us that our life has been greatly influenced and changed by scientific and technological advances, an integral part（不可分割的一部分）to every aspect of modern life. What's more, individuals, organizations and governments attach due attention to this phenomenon. On the one hand, the progress can enhance people’s understanding on a subject, improve people’s learning capacity and skills, shrink the distance between cities and even continents; smooth the communication between residents and rid of the barrier（消除障碍） between people. Technical advances offer all people in the world a quality of life what was unimaginable（不可思议的） when personal computer first appeared 60 years ago. Our factory hums to the rhythm of robot assembly arms. Our banking is done at automated teller terminals that thank us with mechanical politeness for transaction. Our subway trains are controlled by tireless robot drivers. On the other hand, while computers, as have been mentioned above, help students finish the academic job, but this technology, at the same time, kills their creative thinking and exploration spirit（创造思维和探索精神）. The effect of board-dependence brought by it causes the young, nowadays, even can seldom spell correctly, let alone the negative effects triggered by porn movies, violent video clips and their like.（第二段比较长，目的是让大家积累素材，考试时建议不要超过规定字数）

In my view, while we are enjoying the conveniences of the science and technology, we should keep a watching -eyes on（注意、当心） those negative practice, and aim to reduce the problems it has caused. Then the benefits of these advances will outweigh the serious problems.

如图所示，在电脑前坐着一个年轻人，正准备不花力气就把作业完成，来自网络的帮助很快就完成了所有的学习任务。最近报纸上对这样图画的讨论有很多。图虽然简单，但确实表明了一个发人深省的社会现象。

这幅图告诉我们，科技的进步极大地影响了我们的生活。科技是生活中重要的一部分，个人、组织、政府都很关注这一现象。一方面科技的进步提高了人们对事物的认识，提高了人们的学习能力和技能，缩短了城市和城市之间，甚至各大洲之间的距离，使人和人之间的沟通更加顺畅。科技的进步给世界人们生活带来的影响在60年前第一台电脑出现的时候是不可想象的。 我们的工厂里轰鸣着机器人组装臂的节奏声；我们的银行业务在自动柜员机完成，他们用礼貌的语言感谢我们办理业务；我们的地铁由不知疲倦的机器人司机驾驶。但是另一方面，虽然计算机在帮着孩子们完成作业，但是与此同时也在扼杀着他们的创造思维和探索精神。对于键盘的依赖使得很多孩子很少能正确的拼写和书写，就更不用提由于色情电影和暴力视频带来的负面影响了。

在我看来，我们在享受科技便利的时候，一定要小心负面的应用。并且想办法去克服这些问题，这样才能利大于弊。

1、传统道德

There is no doubt that traditional morality（传统道德）, as a national spirit, is a valuable contribution to social harmony（社会和谐） and progress and thus should be promoted and developed（被提倡，发扬） in modern times.

毫无疑问，传统道德作为一个国家的精神，对社会和谐进步有重要的贡献，因此应该在现代社会中被提倡，发扬。

让座

In the thought-provoking picture, a young man and a lady is sitting on the chair in a waiting room that is allocated specially for mothers with baby. Regrettably（令人遗憾的是）, they simply neglect the mother with a baby in her right arm and a big bag in her left hand standing just beside them with great efforts. The scene will set ordinary citizens to think seriously about the nation’s painfully declining moral climate（道德风尚的衰败）.

Some of this can be attributed to the lack of morality（道德缺乏）, a problem shown particularly in the younger generation. Their sense of moral standards （道德感标准）seems to be withering（下降） although their material comforts have been considerably enhanced. What makes matters even worse is the fact that such misdeeds as spitting, picking flowers in public gardens or making noises in public places are becoming so pervasive（普遍的） that they are likely to be taken for granted（习惯成自然） by the public. With today’s worsening morality, social bonds （社会联系）have been weakened, replaced by a greater emphasis on self. That is why new ideas must come forward to improve the nation’s moral climate though the challenge cannot be underestimated（低估）.

Moral decline will not be reversed（扭转）until we find new ways to improve our moral standards. For adults, we can make use of every chance to remind young people of the importance of good manners, both as a competent citizen（合格公民） in modern society and as a model for them to follow. Only in this way can the moral climate of our nation be improved, and we sincerely wish that the young man in the picture could realize that he has sit on a "wrong" seat.

在这个发人深省的图片中，一个年轻人和一位女士坐在等候室的座位上。遗憾的是，他们忽视掉了旁边站着的一位母亲，她右手抱着孩子左手提着个大袋子，非常吃力。这个场景让我们不禁沉思整个民族道德风气的衰败，令人痛心。

导致这种现象的一些原因可以归因为道德缺失，这一现象在年轻人当中尤为明显。尽管人们物质上的舒适度提高了，但道德感却下降了。更加糟糕的是，一些不良行为，比如说吐痰，在公园采花，在公共场所大声喧哗等越来越普遍，而且公众逐渐习惯成自然。今天随着道德感的下降，社会联系也已经弱化，取而代之的是更加明显的以自我为中心。这也是为什么我们必须提出要提高全民的道德风尚，尽管挑战是不容轻视的。

只有找到提高道德标准的方法，我们才能逆转道德感的下降。对于成年人，作为现代社会的合格公民和年轻人仿效的榜样，我们应该利用每次机会提醒他们良好习惯的重要性。只有通过这种方式，国家的道德风尚才能被提高。我们也真诚的希望，图片中的年轻人能够意识到他坐错了座位。
