剖析2006年真题
一、2006年真题解说
2006年考研英语写作分为A、B两部分。以下对这两部分分别加以介绍。
Part A
51. Directions:
You want to contribute to Project Hope by offering financial aid to a child in a remote area. Write a letter to the department concerned, asking them to help find a candidate. You should specify what kind of child you want to help and how you will carry out your plan.
Write your letter in no less than 100 words. Write it neatly on ANSWER SHEET 2.
Do not sign your own name at the end of the letter; use “Li Ming” instead.
Do not write the address. (10 points)
在考研英语中，这是第二次考查应用文写作，模式仍是书信体。因此，像2005年一样，考生在写作时应注意：1.覆盖全部信息；2.注意格式和语域；3.语言准确，内容合理；4.不要过多使用指令中的英语表达。今年的写作主题是希望工程，这是1995年和2001年考研作文中曾经两次涉及过的话题。一般考生应觉得有内容发挥。不过，今年的应用文指令部分比去年要难一些，为方便考生复习，特将指令中关键的第一段翻译出来，供考生参考：
你打算资助边远地区的一个孩子，为希望工程做点贡献。给有关单位写一封信，请他们帮助寻找一个候选的孩子。你应当详细说明你需要帮助的那个孩子的情况，以及你将如何实施你的资助计划。
根据以上要求，考生在写作中应注意三个信息点： 1.说明自己的想法和要求； 2.介绍孩子的情况；3.如何实施资助计划。小作文命题看得出颇费心机，刻意考一种按常规难以归类的书信模式，但不难写。同学们只要照指令的情景和提纲部分扩展出100字就行。
Part B
52. Directions:
Study the following photos carefully and write an essay in which you should
1. describe the photos briefly,
2. interpret the social phenomenon reflected by them, and
3. give your point of view.
You should write 160-200 words neatly on ANSWER SHEET 2. (20 points)
2006年短文写作还是图画作文。给了两幅画面，一幅是一个人脸上刻着贝克汉姆的名字，另一幅是一个人花了300元剪了一个小贝的发型，两幅图均透露出社会上一些人崇拜偶像的现象，让考生对这种现象做出评价，很新鲜、灵活。感觉以往的英语作文试题大多考传统型的，如孝敬父母，毅力恒心等，这次让人很意外。
考生在看到大作文的第一眼是感觉亲切而高兴，觉得非常有趣，很有东西写。因为贝克汉姆对年轻人来说，实在是太熟悉太有诱惑力了，小贝的出场，无论对男生女生，通常引起的都是狂热与奔放。但是此时要静下心来，逻辑严密、条理清晰、有条不紊地去论述一下偶像崇拜的问题，很多考生马上又坐不住板凳了。要么提笔忘字，要么干脆无话可言，再或者干巴巴说几句就再也不能继续下去。其实，文章探讨的主题应该是当今社会出现的年轻人对明星盲目崇拜的现象。只要围绕这个主题写就行，至于从哪个角度去讨论，自己的具体看法是什么，那不是最重要的。关键是考生的文章观点要明确而清晰，尤其是，词句的表达要流畅规范。
图画作文通常写法：第一段揭示现象，描述图画；第二段发表自己对这个现象的分析议论；第三段针对该现象提出自己的看法或发出自己的倡导。可写性很强。

Part B 范文
There are two pictures:The first is a photo of a man’s face on which the name of the famous football player Beckham can be seen. In the second picture we can see a man in a barbershop, his hair being done in Beckham’s hair style, costing him 300 yuan.
Obviously,the two persons are fans of Beckham.These pictures, although a little exaggerating and satirical at first glance, can make us ponder: why does this phenomenon appear?As is known to all, with the development of modern communications, more and more people are influenced by some socalled “stars”. Therefore,we have many fans who run after and imitate them-film stars,athletic stars, even stars of supergirl singers. First,they do so because they admire them and want to obtain their fame and reputation. Second, although there is no denying the fact that some people do this out of pure adiration, yet, some just want to become wealthy overnight-without hard work, without sweat, just effortlessly.
Anyway, in my opinion, our government must educate our people-especially the youth-that some famous people get their reputation because they have made great contribution to our society-such as Liu Xiang. And we ourselves also must understand that their achievement is not easy job. We’d better turn our admiration into practical action to learn from them so that we can make even greater contribution to our country in the future.
译文
这里有两幅图：第一张是一个人脸上写着著名足球运动员贝克汉姆的名字。第二张我们可以看见一个人在理发店里，他让理发师按照贝克汉姆的发型给他做头发，花了300元。
很明显，这两人是贝克汉姆的崇拜者。这些图片，尽管第一眼看上去有些夸张和讽刺，仍然可以使我们深思：为什么会发生这种现象？众所周知的是：随着现代传媒的发展，越来越多的人都被这样的“明星”影响。因此，有很多追随和模仿他们的追星族——电影明星，体育明星，甚至“超女”歌星。第一，他们这样做是因为他们崇拜他们，想得到他们的名声。第二，尽管不可否认的是一些人这么做纯粹是出于崇拜，但是，也有一些人只是想一夜暴富——不需努力工作，不需流汗，只是无需努力。
以我的观点，无论如何，我们的政府都必须教育人民——尤其是年轻人—— 一些著名的人得到他们的声誉是因为他们为我们的社会做出了巨大贡献——比如刘翔。我们自己必须理解他们的成就是不容易的。我们最好将我们的崇拜转化为学习他们的实际行动，这样我们才能在将来为我们国家做出更大的贡献。

These pictures, although a little exaggerating and satirical at first glance, can make us ponder...
这些图片，尽管第一眼看上去有些夸张和讽刺，仍然可以使我们深思……
As is known to all...

Although there is no denying the fact that...
尽管不可否认的是……
