正确答案： The picture tells us a vivid story: two competitors are fighting for a big apple in the middle of a platform high above a steep hill. Unfortunately, both of them are tied to the different ends of the same string. If one manages to move a step closer, his opponent will surely be one step backward and may probably fall down, and vice versa. Clearly, neither of them would get the apple if they do not cooperate and find a workable way to share it. The same can be said to our life. If we want to complete our work effectively and efficiently in this busy, modern world, we must all learn to cooperate with each other. In our society, most tasks demand the cooperation of many individuals to accomplish efficiently. In a win-win situation, we must learn to be supportive and cooperative. Besides, as the transportation and communication system is rapidly developing, people all over the world can get in touch with each other more easily. It is hard for a person who is isolated from the society to have a deep understanding of the world he lives in and to accomplish a feat in his career. Therefore, cooperation is becoming increasingly important for a person to earn a full life in a modern society. From what mentioned above, we can draw a conclusion that it is very shortsighted and out-dated for some people to believe that their success can be achieved at the cost of the fall(on the part)of their opponents, and only when we cooperate with others can we reach the win-win situation. 涉及知识点：短文写作

2． While you enjoy the sunlight, it casts your shadow on the ground. There has been a discussion recently on the issue in a newspaper. Write an essay to the newspaper to1. show your understanding of symbolic meaning of the picture, 2. give a specific example, and3. give your comments.You should write neatly on ANSWER SHEET 2.(20 points)

正确答案： As can be easily seen in the picture, a small green tree is growing vigorously in the bright sunshine, yet there is a long shadow behind it. Simple as it is, the symbolic meaning the picture conveys is deep and profound. Just as the caption goes, where there is sunlight, there is a shadow. A good case in point is the quick development of Chinese economy and the environmental problems it causes. It is universally acknowledged that the Chinese economy has been growing rapidly in the past 20 years, bringing sunshine to our life. However, the rapid development also casts its shadow on our life—our land, water, and air have been seriously polluted. In some areas the negative effects on the natural environment are so severe that people have to move to other places. Therefore, we are heading for an environmental crisis if we do nothing to change it. Admitting the coexistence of

sunshine and shadow does not mean we should let mother nature run its course. Instead, we should take strong actions to solve the problem. If a light is lit in a shadow, the shadow will surely be dissipated. The same holds true with the environmental problem. If each and every one of us, particularly the government officials, pays due attention to the problem of pollution, and takes effective measures to stop it, our land, water and air can be clean again. Only in this way can our economy develop at high speed without compromising the environment. 涉及知识点：短文写作

3． Write an essay of 160-200 words based on the following drawing. In your essay, you should1. describe the drawing briefly, 2. explain its intended meaning, and then3. give your comments.You should write neatly on ANSWER SHEET 2.(20 points)

正确答案： At first glance one can’t help being attracted to this impressive drawing. In the picture, the man is holding high, in both hands, his prestigious award and certificate respectively. However, both the award and the certificate are so brilliant that he could not see anything else, as the caption suggests. Funny as the cartoon looks, its drawer intends much deeper and profound meaning than what you might find at the first glance. What the picture conveys is that pride goes before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall. In other words, pride goes before, and shame comes after. If you are obsessed with your past success and think nothing of further efforts, you will become, to some degree, self-centered and narcissistic, which will result in your fall from grace. Take my friend Tom at the senior high school as an example. When we were at school, Tom was always an A student in almost all the subjects. But later he became too obsessed with his achievements. As a result, he failed in the national college entrance examination. Although he finally managed to enter a prestigious university the next year and became top student of the class, he was one year behind me in terms of high-education. This example shows that no one could afford the destruction and fall brought about by too much pride and haughty spirit. 涉及知识点：短文写作

4． Write an essay of 160-200 words based on the following drawing. In your essay, you should1. explain its symbolic meaning of the cartoon, 2. support your view with examples, and then3. give your comments.You should write neatly on ANSWER SHEET 2.(20 points)

正确答案： This is an unusual cartoon, appealing, thought-provoking and worth the attention of anyone interested in personal development. In the picture, a man, represented by the thumb, is accusing the four other people, which are symbolized by the four fingers. Unfortunately, he does not realize that other four people are looking at the accuser himself for any possible shortcomings. It is clear that when one slates others, one should be aware that he or she may be the one who deserves criticism the most. The implication of this cartoon can be exemplified by my personal example. Once I went to the park nearby to fly my kite. When I arrived

at the park, to my astonishment, I found a big scrum of people only on one side of the open space. And the kites are nearly entangled. How stupid they were, I said to myself and went to the other side of the open square to fly my kite. However, as I flew the kite, I had to move gradually backward to keep the kite in the air. In the end, I found myself rolled into the scrum. This experience of mine teaches me a very important lesson; one ought to examine himself carefully before criticizing others. On the other hand, when we are criticized by others, we should pay serious attention and have high tolerance towards these criticism. We must read them not to understand others but to understand ourselves. This attitude will be beneficial to both ourselves and criticizers.
