Part I writing (100 points)1.Summary writing (40points)Directions: Read carefully the following passage and summarize its contents in15--200 words. You must not copy complete sentences directly from the passage, which will incur deduction of your scores.Language is more than just a means of communication. It influences our culture and even our thought processes. During the first four decades of the 20thcentury, language was viewed by American linguists and anthropologists as being more important than it actually is in shaping our perception of reality. This was mostly due to Edward SAPI and his student Benjamin Whorf who said that language predetermines what we see in the world around us. In other words, language acts like a polarizing lens on a camera in filtering reality—we see the real world only in the categories of our language.Cross cultural comparisons of such things as color terms were used by SAPI and Whorf as evidence of this hypothesis. When we perceive color with our eyes, we are sensing that portion of electromagnetic radiation that is visible light. Infect, the spectrum of visible light is a continuum of light waves with frequencies that increase at a continuous rate from one end to the other. Another words, there are no distinct colors like red and green in nature. Our culture, through language, guides us in seeing the spectrum in terms of the arbitrarily established categories that we call colors. Different cultures may divide up the spectrum in different ways. This can be seen in the comparison of some English language colors with their counterparts in the Tiv language of Nigeria:Note: value refers to the lightness or darkness of a color. High value is light and low value is dark.SAPI and Whorf interpreted these data as indicating that colors are not objective, naturally determined segments of reality. In other words, the colors we see arepredetermined by what our vulture prepares for us to see. This example used to support the SAPI- Whorf hypothesis was objectively tested in the 1960’s. That research indicated that they went too far. All normal humans share similar sense perceptions of color despite differences in color terminology from one language to another. The physiology of our eyes is essentially the same. People all over the world can see subtle gradations of color and can comprehend other ways of dividing up the spectrum of visible light. However, as a society’s economy and technology increase in complexity, the number of color terms usually also increases. That is to say, the spectrum of visible light gets subdivided into more categories. As the environment changes, culture and language typically respond by creating new terminology to describe it.It is now clear that the terminology used bya culture primarily re flects that culture’s interests and concerns. For instance, Indians in Cnada’sNorthwest Territories typically have at least13 terms for different types and conditions of snow, while most non-skiing native Southern Californians use only 2terms--ice and snow. That does not mean that the English language only has 2terms. Quite the contrary, there are many more English words that refer to different states of frozen water, such as blizzard, dusting, flurry, frost, hail, hard pack, powder, sleet, slush, and snowflake. The point is that these terms are rarely if ever used by people living in tropical or subtropical regions because they rarely encounter frozen water in any form other than ice cubes. The distinctions between different snow conditions are not relevant to everyday life and children may not even have the words explained to them. However, people in these warmer regions make fine distinctions about other phenomena that are important to them. For instance, coastal Southern Californians often have dozens of surfing-related words that would likely be unknown to most Indians in the Northwest Territories or to people living in Britain for that matter.The number of terms related to a particular topic also may be greater or smaller depending on such social factors as gender. For example, North American women generally make far more color distinctions than do men. This may be largely due to the fact that subtle color differences are important factors in women’s clothing and makeup. Parents and peers usually encourage and train girls early to be knowledgeable about these distinctions.The cultural environment that people grow up in can have surprising effects on how they interpret the world around them. This became apparent during a Washington D.C. murder trial in 2002. A deaf man was convicted of stabbing to death two of his classmates at Gallaudet University. At his trial, the defendant said that he was told to do it by mysterious black-gloved hands. His delusions did not come in the form of spoken language. He was told to commit these brutal murders through sign language—his mode of communication. Another example is provided by Guugu Timithirr language speakers of the Cape York Penisula in northeastern Australia. This group of Aborigines do not have words for left, right, front, or back. They sue absolute rather than relative directions. When they refer to people or objects in their environment, they use compass directions. They would say “I am standing southwest of my sister” rather than “I am standing to the left of my sister.” Critics of the SAPI—Whorf hypothesis would point out that the Aborigines who speak this language also usually learn English and can use left, right, front and back just as we do. However, if they do not learn English during early childhood, they have difficulty in orienting themselves relatively and absolute orientation makes much more sense to them.2.essay writing（60points）Directions: Based on the assumption that the younger one starts to learn a foreign language, the higher the proficiency one would achieve ultimately, the education authorities of most regions in China have decided that English course should be offered from Grade One in all primary schools in both urban and rural areas. Write an essay of about 400 words unequivocally expressing your stance on this issue. Whatever position you take, make sure to justify your decision. Give a title to your essay.Part 2 translation3.Translate the following passage into Chinese(25points)Modernization and economic development neither require nor produce cultural westernization. To the contrary, they promote resurgence of, and renewed commitment to, indigenous cultures. At the individual level, the movement of people into unfamiliar cities, social settings, and occupations breaks their traditional bonds, generates feelings of alienation, and creates crises of identity to which religion frequently provides an answer. At the societal level, modernization enhances the economic wealth and military power of the country as a whole and encourages people to have confidence in their heritage and to become culturally assertive.As a result, many non-western societies have seen return to indigenous cultures. It often takes a religious form, and the global revival of religion is a direct consequence of modernization. In non-western societies this revival almost necessarily assumes an anti-western cast, in some cases rejecting western culture because it is Christian and subversive, in others because it is secular and degenerate. The return to the indigenous is most marked in Muslim and Asian societies.4.Translate the following passage into English (25points)《清明河上图》描绘的是北宋都城汴京在清明时节的繁华热闹景象。
2009年考研英语写作指导及范文(一)
2009年考研英语写作指导及范文(一)For this part, you are allowed to write a short essay. You should write at least 150 words based on the chart and outline given below：1. 近十年来X市越来越多的人选择出境旅游2. 出现这种现象的原因3. 这种现象可能产生的影响原文Traveling abroadThe number of people in X city who prefer traveling abroad has been growing larger and larger in the past 10 years. In 1995 the number was only more than 10,000 and it grew to about 40,000 in 2000. But it changed greatly to almost 130,000 in 2005.I think one of the reasons for the changes may be the developing economy. Since people make more money now, they can afford for such a traveling. And then they are becoming more and more willing to study more about the world. Traveling abroad can help to broaden their horizons to achieve the goal. It can also provide a different scene abroad from the ones at home. The last reason is that people want to relax themselves and live a better life.What effects can it bring about?On one hand, it can make the city more beautiful. People get a lot from traveling abroad and can give suggestion on the city's construction. It can also make foreigners know more about the city and give the city more chance. On the other hand, if more people travel abroad, it will be harmful to the local traveling companies.In a way, since every matter has its two sides, we must consider it carefully点评这篇作文写得还可以，达到大学英语六级写作的起码要求。

1- There is a marked difference between the education which everyone gets from living with others, and the deliberate educating of the young.
Religious associations began, for example, in the desire to secure the favor of overruling powers and to ward off evil influences; family life in the desire to gratify appetites and secure family perpetuity; systematic labor, for the most part, because of enslavement to others, etc.
2- But in dealing with the young, the fact of association itself as an immediate human fact, gains in importance.

二、试题分析1.【答案】C【解析】本题主要考查词义辨析和熟词生义，A 项come，B 项gone，D 项arrived 都表示“到，到达”的含义。
C项cross 意为“穿过”，这里是引申含义“突破”。
这句话指“价格已经突破100 美元每桶”，与上文的“16 美元一桶”做比较。
2.【答案】D【解析】本题考查动词与介词词组的搭配。
解题重点在于空后面的一个介词词组from …to…表示一个范围。
A 项covered 意为“覆盖”一般指地理范围；B 项discovered 发现；C 项arranged 安排；C 项D 项的动词都与介词词组搭配不合理。
D 项ranged 意为涉及的“范围延伸”。

Students can now delve into subjects that were previously inaccessible due to geographical or financial constraints. Online courses from prestigious universities, digital libraries, and academic databases are just a few examples of the wealth of knowledge available at one's fingertips.Moreover, the internet facilitates interactive learning. Students can engage in online discussions, participate in virtual labs, and collaborate on projects with peers from around the globe.

Issues such as digital divide, where access to technology is unequal, and the potential for misinformation, are real concerns that need to be addressed. Additionally, the lack of personal interaction and the riskof students becoming overly reliant on technology are aspects that must be carefully managed.In conclusion, the internet is a transformative force in education, offering unparalleled opportunities for learning and growth. While it is not without its drawbacks, thebenefits it brings to the educational landscape are undeniable. As we move forward, it is crucial to harness the power of the internet while mitigating its potential pitfalls, ensuring a balanced and effective educational experience for all.This composition is designed to reflect the key points one might discuss in a 2009 postgraduate entrance English composition exam, focusing on a contemporary topic such asthe role of the internet in education.。
考研英语作文真题2009
考研英语作文真题2009As the saying goes, "Practice makes perfect." This applies not only to academic subjects but also to different aspects of our lives. Many people argue that, in order to improve themselves, they should constantly practice and never give up. However, others believe that practice is not always the key to success. In this essay, we will explore the advantages and disadvantages of practice and its impact on personal growth.On one hand, practice is undoubtedly essential for acquiring skills and knowledge. Take the example of learning a musical instrument. Without regular practice, it is impossible to become a proficient player. The more one practices, the more familiar they become with the instrument and the better their musical abilities become. Similarly, in academic pursuits, practice plays a crucial role in honing one's skills and deepening their understanding of complex concepts. By practicing regularly, students can sharpen their problem-solving abilities, develop critical thinking skills, and improve their overall performance in exams.Moreover, practice cultivates discipline and perseverance. Through continuous efforts, individuals learn to overcome obstacles and setbacks. They become resilient in the face of failure and develop a growth mindset. This not only applies to academic pursuits but also to various other aspects of life. For instance, in sports, athletes must practice diligently to enhance their performance and reach their full potential. It is through practice that they build physical strength, endurance, and develop strategies to outperform their opponents. Similarly, in the professional world, individuals whopractice their craft diligently are more likely to succeed and excel in their chosen fields.However, there is also a flip side to the practice. It can sometimes lead to burnout and exhaustion. Excessive practicing without proper rest and balance can take a toll on individuals' mental and physical well-being. The pressure to constantly practice and strive for perfection can lead to stress, anxiety, and even emotional breakdowns. Additionally, excessive focus on practice may limit individuals' creativity and hinder their ability to think outside the box. Innovation and originality often arise from a combination of practice and open-mindedness.It is crucial to strike a balance between practice and other aspects of life. While practice is important, it should not consume one's entire existence. Taking breaks, pursuing other hobbies, and maintaining social connections are equally important for personal growth. By engaging in a diverse range of activities, individuals can broaden their horizons, gain new perspectives, and foster creativity. In fact, research has shown that individuals who lead well-rounded lives tend to perform better in their chosen fields compared to those who solely focus on practice.In conclusion, practice is undoubtedly an important element for personal growth and skill acquisition. It helps individuals refine their abilities and develop discipline. However, excessive practice without proper rest and balance can lead to negative consequences. It is crucial to strike a balance between practice and other aspects of life in order to lead a well-rounded and fulfilling life. By doing so, individuals can achieve success without sacrificing their overall well-being. So, let us remember that while practiceis valuable, it should be accompanied by rest, balance, and a holistic approach to life.。
