一、出题形式

从以上例子可见,图表作文一般在题目中给出作文的标题和一个或几个统计表格、圆形图、曲线图或条形图,有时还用英文或中文提纲的形式给出提示,要求我们:
1)用文字描述图表,客观解释图表中所传递的信息,并找出某种规律或趋势;
2)就图表中所反映的某种趋势或问题分析其原因或后果。
二、写作要领
图表作文着重说明事实,常常是通过对图表中所反映的具体数据的说明、分析、比较,对某种事物或现象的事实或变化情况等加以说明,并提出结论或看法。因此,图表作文常常采用议论文体的写作方法。写好图表作文,关键在于能否读懂图表中所提供的信息,把握各信息间的联系,用准确流畅的语言把这一信息表达出来,并就这一信息发表自己的看法。
三、写作步骤
写图表作文时,要注意遵循以下步骤:
1) 认真分析图表的含义,弄清图表中所含的信息及不同信息间的关系;
2) 确定文章的主题思想,构思出文章的基本框架,筛选出能说明图表主题思想的典型数据;
3) 编列文章的提纲;
4) 根据文章的提纲,将各段的提纲内容扩展成段落,然后将各个段落组成文章,注意段与段之间的衔接与过渡;
5) 检查与修改。
四、篇章结构
写图表作文时,常采用三段式的谋篇方式。文章的第一段往往分析图表中的数据变化反映什么问题或趋势,概述图表所揭示的信息。第二段分析造成这一问题或趋势的原因。第三段则
展望未来的情况或提出解决问题的办法或建议。这一结构可以简单地表述为:
第一段:概述图表反映的主题思想
第二段:分析产生的原因
第三段:展望未来或提出方法或建议

问题解决型
As is shown in the picture(graph\cartoon\table),it goes without saying that the drawing aims at revealing a common problem(in China):______.Its status as the focus of public concern mainly results from its profound influence on individuals, collective and even the whole world. Each of us should attach high emphasis on solving it.
As a matter of fact, the symbolic meaning the picture conveys is deep and profound. Naturally and necessarily, there are two major ways coping with this problem. The first way to tackle it is to appeal to authorities to take measures. Once achieving the success of solving the problem, the whole society also thrives/makes progress. Solving the problem can accelerate better individuals'development. The other way that is worth adopting is to work out new laws. Where there are better laws, there are more hopes, vitality and development. These advisable laws eventually brings economic prosperity and social harmony. Finally, I can safely come to the conclusion that it is high time we enhanced the awareness of people that is every vital to us. Only by these means can we succeed in solving the problem in the near future.(1 Therefore, measures should be taken to terminate the ridiculous affair. First and foremost, governments should establish some regulations to prohibit enterprises and people from making such misdeeds. What's more, people should get ready to pass criticism upon such misdeeds anytime and anywhere. After all, it is necessary to develop our society by performing hard work instead of talking nonsense.
In my opinion, it is imperative that we should take some drastic actions. On the one hand, we should appeal to our authorities to enact concrete laws to control commercial fishing. On the other hand, we should enhance people's awareness that ocean resources are vital to us and the ecological balance will be guaranteed with the strategy of sustainable development. Only by doing so can we effectively protect our natural resources. Also I am convinced that we humans can overcome this difficulty and we will have a bright future.)
To conclude, we should not yield to mediocrity regardless of seemingly insurmountable obstacles. So the prospect we are looking forward to will be bright and encouraging.

As is vividly in the picture(s),it is a contemporary social issue in China of common interests and permanent value. The picture(s)does reflect a thought-provoking social phenomenon which is not uncommon nowadays.When weighing in the mind,we find an apparent tendency underlying this sight:,Simple as it is,what the picture conveys to us is thought-provoking.With the development of economy and society, competition is becoming increasingly fierce.It is impossible for anyone to finish a task without .Hence, people in mounting numbers put great emphasis on .In fact, it has been universally acknowledged that the ability of s the most essential qualification that anyone who wants to achieve success should possess.

考研英语美文篇二:考研英语文章(带段落翻译,强推)
Come on — Everybody's doing it. That whispered message, half invitation and half forcing, is what most of us think of when we hear the words peer pressure. It usually leads to no good — drinking, drugs and casual sex. But in her new book Join the Club, Tina Rosenberg contends that pee
r pressure can also be a positive force through what she calls the social cure, in which organizations and officials use the power of group dynamics to help individuals improve their lives and possibly the world.Rosenberg, the recipient of a Pulitzer Prize, offers a host of example of the social cure in action: In South Carolina, a state-sponsored antismoking program called Rage Against the Haze sets out to make cigarettes uncool. In South Africa, an HIV-prevention initiative known as LoveLife recruits young people to promote safe sex among their peers.
The idea seems promising, and Rosenberg is a perceptive observer. Her critique of the lameness of many public-health campaigns is spot-on: they fail to mobilize peer pressure for healthy habits, and they demonstrate a seriously flawed understanding of psychology. "Dare to be different, please don't smoke!" pleads one billboard campaign aimed at reducing smoking among teenagers — teenagers, who desire nothing more than fitting in. Rosenberg argues convincingly that public-health advocates ought to take a page from advertisers, so skilled at applying peer pressure.
But on the general effectiveness of the social cure, Rosenberg is less persuasive. Join the Club is filled with too much irrelevant detail and not enough exploration of the social and biological factors that make peer pressure so powerful. The most glaring flaw of the social cure as it's presented here is that it doesn't work very well for very long. Rage Against the Haze failed once state funding was cut. Evidence that the LoveLife program produces lasting changes is limited and mixed.
There's no doubt that our peer groups exert enormous influence on our behavior. An emerging body of research shows that positive health habits — as well as negative ones — spread through networks of friends via social communication. This is a subtle form of peer pressure: we unconsciously imitate the behavior we see every day.
Far less certain, however, is how successfully experts and bureaucrats can select our peer groups and steer their activities in virtuous directions. It's like the teacher who breaks up the troublemakers in the back row by pairing them with better-behaved classmates. The tactic never really works. And that's the problem with a social cure engineered from the outside: in the real world, as in school, we insist on choosing our own friends.

来吧,每个人都这么做。半邀请半强迫,低声的消息就是我们大多数人认为当我们听到来自同辈的压力。这通常会导致不好——饮酒,药物和一夜情。但在她的新书《加入俱乐部,蒂娜罗森博格认为,来自同辈的压力也可以是一个积极的力量通过她所谓的社会治疗,在组织和官员使用群体动力学的力量来帮助人们改善他们的生活,很可能也是世界首个。
Rosenberg, the recipient of a Pulitzer Prize, offers a host of example of the social cure in action: In South Carolina, a state-sponsored antismoking program called Rage Against the Haze sets out to make cigarettes uncool. In South Africa, an HIV-prevention initiative known as LoveLife recruits young people to promote safe sex among their peers.
罗森博格,普利策奖的收件人,提供一系列社会治疗行动的例子:在南卡罗来纳,一个国家禁烟计划称为暴力反抗阴霾使香烟土里土气的。在南非,艾滋病预防计划称为LoveLife招募年轻人成为同龄人宣传安全性行为。
The idea seems promising, and Rosenberg is a perceptive observer. Her critique of the lameness of many public-health campaigns is spot-on: they fail to mobilize peer pressure for healthy habits, and they
demonstrate a seriously flawed understanding of psychology. "Dare to be different, please don't smoke! " pleads one billboard campaign aimed at reducing smoking among teenagers — teenagers, who desire nothing more than fitting in. Rosenberg argues convincingly that public-health advocates ought to take a page from advertisers, so skilled at applying peer pressure.
这个想法似乎有前途,罗森博格是一个敏锐的观察者。她批判跛的许多公共健康运动是正确的:他们无法动员来自同辈的压力对健康的习惯,而且他们展示一个严重的缺陷对心理学的理解。“敢有所不同,请不要吸烟!“恳求一个广告牌运动旨在减少青少年吸烟的青少年,他们渴望只不过配件。罗森博格令人信服地认为,公共卫生倡导者应该从广告商页面,所以擅长运用同侪压力。
But on the general effectiveness of the social cure, Rosenberg is less persuasive. Join the Club is filled with too much irrelevant detail and not enough exploration of the social and biological factors that make peer pressure so powerful.

Evidence that the LoveLife program produces lasting changes is limited and mixed.
但在一般的社会治疗的有效性,罗森博格不太有说服力。加入俱乐部充满了太多不相关的细节和没有足够的探索的社会和生物因素,使来自同辈的压力如此强大。最明显的缺陷的社会治疗,这里介绍的是,它不工作很好很长时间。暴力反抗霾失败一旦国家资金被削减。证据表明LoveLife程序产生持久的变化是有限的和混合。
There's no doubt that our peer groups exert enormous influence on our behavior. An emerging body of research shows that positive health habits — as well as negative ones — spread through networks of friends via social communication. This is a subtle form of peer pressure: we unconsciously imitate the behavior we see every day.
毫无疑问,我们的同辈群体对我们的行为产生巨大的影响。一个新兴的研究表明,积极的健康习惯——以及消极的——通过网络传播通过社会交往的朋友。这是一个微妙的形式的来自同辈的压力:我们每天无意识地模仿我们看到的行为。
Far less certain, however, is how successfully experts and bureaucrats can select our peer groups and steer their activities in virtuous directions. It's like the teacher who breaks up the troublemakers in the back row by pairing them with better-behaved classmates. The tactic never really works. And that's the problem with a social cure engineered from the outside: in the real world, as in school, we insist on choosing our own friends.
更不确定,然而,如何成功的专家和官员可以选择我们的同辈群体在良性方向和引导他们的活动。就像老师打破了后排的麻烦制造者通过配对更听话的同学。这一策略从未真正的作品。这是一个社会的问题治疗工程从外面:在现实世界中,在学校,我们坚持选择自己的朋友。
考研英语美文篇三:考研英语阅读理解文章都出自哪里
考研英语阅读理解文章都出自哪里
在我们备考考研英语时,往往发现历年真题中阅读理解文章的来源是有规律的。考研文章绝大多数来自英美国家的报刊杂志,以面向大众的大众社科类和科普类刊物为主。
1、 经济类文章主要来源:The Economist (经济学人),Business Week (商业周刊),Wall Street Journal(华尔街杂志);
2、 科学技术类文章主要来源:Nature (自然),Discovery (探索),Science (科学),National Geographic (国家地理),Scientific American (科学美国人),New Scientists (新科学家);
3、 社会生活以及文化类文章主要来源:Newsweek (新闻周刊),Times (时代周刊),U.S News and World Report (美国新闻与世界报道),The Washington Post (华盛顿邮报),USA Today (今日美国),The Times (泰晤士报),The Guardian (卫报);
4、 其它来源:Independent (独立日报), International New York Times(国际纽约时报), Telegraph (英国电信日报)。
经过上面的整理,我们不难发现倘若我们准备的时间充分,我们完全有可能在考研前、在平时复习的过程中就把当年考试的文章事先阅读过,那样自然就能取得一个很好的成绩了。
但是,我们广大的考生在复习的过程中无论花费多少时间几乎是不可能把上面说到的所有杂志都阅读完毕的,而且每年选择来考查考生的文章并不一定是本年度发表的文章。这就为我

们复习的工作增加了很大的难度。
所以,我们有必要对历年的文章来源再次进行总结。结果我们发现,在绝大多数情况下,历年真题的文章来源一般控制在过去的5年之内,即倘若2016年参加考研的话,2016年的文章一般来自于2011年到2015年之间的报刊杂志上,当然历史上也有少部分文章不受年份的限制。这时我们阅读的范围就小了很多。
又因为在整理统计过程中,我们发现历年真题的文章一般字数上控制在450字到550字之间,段落上一般控制在3到6个段落,所以我们可以把精力主要集中在符合前面字数、段落以及年份的文章来进行复习和阅读,如此一来我们就把复习的范围大为减少了。
倘若我们找到了这个规律,那么我们的广大考生在平时复习时,在选择阅读的材料上就有了目的性,相对来说,我们广大的考生也会事半功倍的。
