　　【构思点拨】
　　从图中我们可以看到，摆在我们面前的岔路口，我该选择那一条去走？这两条路会把路人引向截然不同的路途和目的地。这所谓的岔路口，不正是我们人生的岔路口么？显然，这幅图揭示的主题是：人生选择问题。
第一段：描述图画；第二段：人生慎重选择的重要性；第三段：建议措施。
【思维拓展】
人生哲理类文章，参考《面对人生社会：乐观、豁达》。这两篇人生哲理，人生态度类的文章，在行文风格上极为类似。内容也有所相关。
In the above picture, two roads diverge in front of us, who may stay there long, not knowing which one to take①. To turn left or to turn right, that is a hard decision②. Each road in its due direction may lead us to a different destination. This coincides with the life journey of human being, which is also full of hard and painful choices.
The underlying meaning of the drawing can be illustrated as follows. On the one hand, for a real road, if stepping on the wrong way, one can return to the original point, but life is a one-way journey: one cannot start it all over again. Different choices in life may make great differences. For example, one can get on different buses, meet different people and thus live a completely different life. On the other hand, to some extent, future is a combination of choices and efforts. Some people even believe that one's success depends more on how intelligently he chooses than on how diligently he works③. With a wrong direction, the farther we go, the farther we are away from our dream.
Therefore, positive mental guidance must be popularized among the public, especially the young, to help them to keep a clear mind and make wise choices in the life journey. Besides, every youngster should be educated to realize his position and the reality and choose his life goal in a down-to-earth manner. Only with right direction and destination can all the efforts made towards it pay off.
【参考译文】
如图所示，在我们面前出现了一个岔路口，我们可能会在那里沉思良久，不知该选择哪一条。很难抉择到底是改往左拐还是往右拐。每个选择都会将带给我们不同的终点。这与人生旅程一致，同样是充满了艰难和选择。
这幅漫画背后的寓意可以做出如下阐述。一方面：对于一条真实的路，如果踏上错误的那一条，我们可以回到原点，但是人生旅程是一条单行道：永远无法从头开始。不同的选择将让生活产生很大的不同。例如人们可能登上不同的公车，遇到不同的人因此而得到完全不同的生活。另一方面，某种程度上讲，人的未来是选择与努力共同作用的结果。甚至有人认为，与其说一个人的成功取决于刻苦努力，倒不如说，一个人的成功更多的取决于明智的选择。如果方向错误，走得越远，离梦想越远。
因此，必须在公众尤其是年轻人中普及积极的心理辅导，帮助他们保持清醒的头脑，在人生路上做出明智的选择。另外，应该教育年轻人认清到自身位置和现实，脚踏实地的选择自己的人生目标。只有在拥有了正确的方向和正确的目的地的基础上，我们为之付出的努力才会有回报。
【高分密码】
①  Two roads diverge(分离) in front of us, who may stay there long, not knowing which one to take. 这个句子及其简短，用词简单，但是却做到了言简意赅。给读者描述出了身临其境的感觉。
②  To turn left or to turn right, that is a hard decision. 非常明显，这句话模仿了莎士比亚作品中的名言的句式： “To be, or not to be, that is the question”。
全文的亮点句型之一。
可见平时多多积累句型，无疑会让考生受益匪浅。
描述图画这一句写的越精彩、越传神越好，它几乎可以决定全文的分数档。
只要细心模仿，持之以恒，你也一定能写出漂亮的英文！
③  Some people even believe that one's success depends more on how intelligently he chooses than on how diligently he works：这句话又是全文的一个句型亮点：
首先：depend more on A than on B：更多的取决于A，而不是B——这是真题中反复出现过的举行。
其次：“how intelligently he chooses”与“how diligently he works”句型结构完全平行，工整优美。
再次：“intelligently”和“diligently”两个词押尾韵。行文整洁有气势。
细心的捕捉英语语言的魅力，注意积累，英文中有很多对这样的可以巧妙押韵的词汇：
例如chances and challenges (机遇与挑战，押头韵和尾韵。可以仿照《乐观、豁达》一文中的句子“where there is shadow, there is sunshine”，写成：“where there is a challenge, there is a chance.” 意思为，有挑战的地方就有机遇);
再如：accepted and respected (头韵/尾韵，被接受和尊重，写建议措施的万能押韵词！)
再如：appreciated, and advocated (头韵/尾韵，被欣赏和提倡，写建议措施时万能押韵词！)
再如：effectively and efficiently (头韵/尾韵，建议措施的万能词。)
④本书范文长度略高于要求长度。这样在考场上，考生按需使用即可，万一忘记几句，也还够字数。
