母鸡下蛋题，虽然没有明说第一段要描述图画，但描述是不可少的，下来是阐释寓意，说明了一个什么样的丑恶现象，这里并不是什么承诺了的事情没有实现，而是承诺的事情本来就应该实现，所谓承诺其实是本分。最后是评论，其实是让你解决问题，所以要写三段：图画描述段，寓意阐释段，解决问题段。本题属于漫画类，画的是一只下蛋的母鸡，可笑的是母鸡手中拿着一份承诺书，旁边还有一首诗对漫画的内容进行了讽刺。对于漫画类题型，考生注意对漫画的描述不是最重要的，与之相比，揭示出其中的深刻寓意更为重要。本题的提纲要求两点：第一点是写出漫画所包含的；第二点是给出评论。总的说来，第一点是相当固定的，考生只要对漫画进行简单描述就可以了。需要提醒的是我们应着力描写母鸡手中的承诺书，而不需要将旁边的诗进行逐句翻译，不过诗歌的题目倒是可以借鉴——《如此承诺》，因此考生可以将本文的题目写成如MyViewonSo-calledPromises等。提纲的第二点为考生留出了很大的想象的空间。诚信问题一直是社会热点问题，相信考生写作都会有很多的思路，只要选择自己能够驾驭的语言将其意义揭示出来，并发表自己的看法即可。考生可以从此种承诺产生的原因，和此种承诺的危害性等方面进行扩展。Ascanbeseenfromthecartoon，ahenismakingpromisesthathereggsareallroundandconsistofshells，eggwhitesandyolks.Weallknowthathen’sdutyistolayeggs，butshepromiseswhatsheshoulddo!Inourdailylife，manypeople，justlikethehen，keepmakingsuchpromisesinwhichtheytakedutiesandresponsibilitiesasvirtuetobeproudof.

船多鱼少题，第一段描述图画，第二段推断图画作者的意图，实则也是描述寓意，说明鱼类资源为什么会减少，最后让提出解决措施，用了一个：counter-measures.

本题体现了短文出题的多样性，采用了一张照片而不是传统的图画。这张照片十分具有感染力，但其中的难点是考生如何分析出图画的主题。我们可以看到题目中提示我们照片是一个美国女孩，因此我们可以将她引申为西方文化和思想的代表。而她身穿的中式服装则是中国传统和文化的代表。这身中式服装显然很适合美国女孩，而且女孩脸上甜蜜的笑容也说明她非常喜欢自己的装束。因此，我们可以认为这种和谐的氛围代表了西方人对于中国文化的接受、欣赏和认同。这就是本题的大致分析思路。考生可以结合当今世界的全球化趋势来说明文化既是民族的，也是世界的。中国应当在国内外大力弘扬其优秀的传统文化，吸引全世界的眼球，并达到中国和世界各国文化的共同发展。通过这道真题我们可以很容易联想到，在时代的世界缩小成为了一个“地球村”，交流和联系变得十分方便。这使得全世界的人民抛弃了先前的民族、种族、国家等各种偏见，随着经济和贸易往来、交涉的日益频繁，各国人民的文化交流也更加密切，增进了彼此之间的欣赏和认同感。考生可以指出各国人民之间通过增进交流和理解，有助于保持和平、实现人类的共同发展、进步和繁荣。Directions:1)describethesetofdrawings,interpretitsmeaning,and2)pointoutitsimplicationsinourlife.Youshouldwriteabout200wordsneatlyonANSWERSHEET2.这篇图画作文给出了提纲，共包括两点：第一点是描述图画，阐述其含义；第二点是指出其中暗含的意思，即在我们生活中的含义。考生应注意提纲要求中meaning和implication是有区别的，前者指图画本身的意思，而后者则指的是通过类比揭示其在现实生活中的道理。题目给出了两幅相对的图：第一幅图中，尽管外面狂风暴雨，温室里的花朵却依然怒放着。可是第二幅图中，我们看到同样一朵花一旦搬到了室外，在风雨中立即就凋谢了，由此也印证了题目中“温室中的花朵经不起风雨”的论断，这就是两幅图的含义。根据这一论断，考生可以自由联想其在生活中的含义。最明显的就是当前社会孩子的教育问题和独生子女问题。很多父母对孩子百般溺爱，恐怕孩子吃一点苦，受一点委屈，父母为孩子包办一切，将孩子当作是“温室里的花朵”，结果孩子缺乏独立解决问题的能力，一旦遇到挫折就手足无措。此外在当前的教育制度下，孩子学习负担沉重，绝大部分时间都在学校和家庭度过，根本没有接触社会的机会，这样又怎么能茁壮成长呢？经过以上分析，考生基本已经有了整体的思路。可以根据提纲将文章分为三段。第一段是描述图画。第二段是揭示其在现实生活中的含义。可以类比于生活中孩子的教育问题，并分析这种现象产生的原因。最后一段可以总结自己的观点，得出结论。Asisshowninthetwopictures,thesameflowerhasdifferentfatewhenputindifferentsituations.Whenthereisprotection,theflowerbloomsbeautifully.However,whenexposeddirectlytorainandstorm,theflowerquicklywithers.Wecansafelycometotheconclusionthatgreenhouseflowerscannotwithstandrainandstorm.
