【题目分析】
2015年的作文沿袭近年的命题特点:英文指令+图画;其中图画在其主旨明确的情况下,一般不再配有文字说明。本次考研英语一作文的图画关键词为“手机、年轻人、聚餐”,话题为“手机对年轻人生活的影响”。监考发现,本次作文话题明确,因此跑题率不高。其实类似的话题在2009年的考研英语一、2013年12月的四级考试、2012年12月的六级考试中均曾出现过。可见考研复习中,适当关注曾经考过的四、六级真题作文亦有一定的帮助作用。
【范文欣赏】
This is a simple but enlightening cartoon: beside a table sit fouryoungsters, focusing all eyesight on their smart cell phones and sharing photosof their dinner on Wechat or weibo, with tasty dishes uneaten. Although theygather for the purpose of friendship, scarcely do these guys chat with eachother.
Such a scenario, apparently, can be associated with the excessiveuse of cell phones among teenagers. As a matter of fact, cell phones haveconstituted an obstacle that hinders the normal communication in life. A casein point is that a host of youngsters, like the guys in the picture, spend muchtime on mobile phones to surf the Internet, chat with friends or comment others’wechats. This trend is particularly worth concern for the background that theyare addicted to the virtual world, ignoring the real life. It is cell phonesthat make our communication convenient, but it is cell phones that do notenable youngsters to spend adequate time in caring friends, families and otherssignificant matters.
Do bear in mind: cell phones are just our tools. As a cell phonesuser, I am convinced that it is not advisable for youngsters to be the slave ofcell phones. Accordingly, youngsters should be educated, advocated andencouraged to take a rational attitude toward modern technologies, includingthe Internet, cell phones, TV and computers.
【范文翻译】
这是一幅简单但有启发性的漫画:在一餐桌旁边坐着四位年轻人,他们盯着自己的智能手机并分在微博或微信上分享着就餐的照片,桌子上的美味食物丝毫未动。尽管他们为了友情而聚餐,但他们几乎没有交流。
这样一种情节能自然联系到手机在年轻人中的过度使用。事实上,手机已经构成一种障碍,阻碍着正常的交流。一个典型例子:像图画中的年轻人一样,很多年轻人花费太多时间在手机上网、聊天或其评论他人的微信。这种趋势很值得关注,因为他们沉溺于虚拟的世界,忽略了真实生活。正是手机使得我们的交流方便,但也正是手机没有使得年轻人花足够的时间关心朋友、家人和其他重要的事情。
牢记:手机只是我们的工具。作为手机用户,我相信年轻人当手机的奴隶是不明智的。因此,手机用户应该被教育、倡导和鼓励理性对待现代科技:网络、手机、电视和计算机。
【解题精讲】
第一段:简要描述图画
图画描述部分是整篇作文中最为灵活也是最能体现考生写作基本功的一部分。但无论是什么样的图画,均可从几个点切入:主题相关人、相关物、动作、环境、图片文字等。
明确以上几点之后,考生即可对图画进行简要描述。直观内容:几个年轻人围坐在餐桌旁,盯着各自的手机在看;可以推测的信息:他们或许在微博或微信上分享就餐的照片,但“低头族”是他们显然的特征。首段还可以按照如下方式描述:Sitting beside a table, four youngstersfocus their eyesight on cell phones, with tasty food ignored. Their gatheringis for the purpose of friendship, but they rarely communicate with eachother.
第二段:阐述图画的现实意义。
各句功能依次是:图画联系主旨、危害1、现象、举例、原因和危害2。当然,这些功能句的完全可以根据需要调整前后顺序或删除添加。
首句图画联系现实寓意,使用被动句和插入语写法:Such a scenario, apparently, can be associated with the excessiveuse of cell phones among teenagers. 重点是写出了手机在青年人中的过度使用。
二句点出负面影响,使用主谓宾+定语从句:As a matter offact, cell phones have constituted an obstacle that hinders the normalcommunication in life. 重点是指出手机成为生活中的正常交流的障碍。
三句具体说明,采用举例法描述客观事实:A case in point is that a host of youngsters, like the guys in thepicture, spend much time on mobile phones to surf the Internet, chat withfriends or other entertainment.
四句通过原因分析指出现象的本质,即 they are addicted to the virtual world, ignoring the real life.
最后使用强调句式指出危害It is cell phones that do not enable youngsters to spend adequatetime in caring friends, families and others significant matters.
第三段:得出结论,评价建议
尾段三句话,功能为:号召、观点和建议。必须要说明的是,这三个部分的顺序必然不是固定的,可以随意前后调整顺序。号召时使用remember/ keep in mind/ never forget/ do bear in mind等均可;表述观点时使用I deem/ I am convinced that / it is myconviction that,但不建议使用as far as I amconcerned,因为阅卷时发现这个表达使用频率过高因此被用烂了;表建议时使用了被动的排比句:educate, advocate and encourage.
