参考答案和解析
正确答案：
Water shortage has become much more serious than before. According to the statistics. 2.2 billion people in 62 countries are facing the shortage of fresh water in the world; there is 300 million people in 26 countries are severely short of water. It is expected that other eight countries will join the 26 countries for severely lacking water in 2010 and 2.7 billion people around the world will face the problem of severe water short-age in 2025.
The chief reason for water shortage is the low efficiency of water using. As we can see, some water can be reused. For example, we can use the water that we have used to wash clothes, to rinse the toilet. As statistics show, one ton of water will be used while one ton of paper is produced. But with the use of recycled water, the consumption of water can be reduced to half ton. Obviously, with the use of recycled water, the water use efficiency will increase, thus a great lot of water can be saved. But unfortunately, in most of the countries, many companies, particularly in some industries that consume masses of water every day, such as paper making and steel making, haven’t built up their recycle system of water. Lots of water is directly drained without recycling everyday.
So how to build up more recycle system of water has become most pressing business that can solve the water shortage problem.

正确答案：

As is illustrated in the picture, the two disabled persons whose crippled legs are bound together do a lot of traveling. Accordingly, this far-reaching picture reflects a common phenomenon in today’s society: the people who are in the dark want to turn the corner but they can not make it respectively and in turn they have to choose to pull together in times of trouble.
　　There are several reasons accounting for this. Since we have to live in an on-the-move lifestyle, we may encounter various plights, where we would be at a loss rather than to seek for others’ assistance. Further more, if we do not offer help to each other when we confront dilemma, we would not realize our dream. And no issue in China is as basic to build up the society in harmony as to conduct coordination in face of disasters.
　　Judging from what have been argued above, people have come to realize the value of mutual aid. It is, therefore, necessary that some effective steps be made to advocate spirit of supporting each other. To begin with, the government should make laws to encourage people to unite.

Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled How Should Parents Help Children to Be Independent? You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below.

1. 目前不少父母为孩子包办一切

2. 为了让孩子独立, 父母应该……3. 总结


正确答案：Recently, numerous reports related to children's dependence on their parents on various media have, once again, aroused wide concern among public about kids' lack the ability to face their lives by themselves. It is widely accepted that excessive reliance on one's parents is bound to be harmful to his prospect and thus it is necessary that some urgent actions be taken to alter current trend.
For one thing, more opportunities should be given to children to participate in different competitive and cooperative activities, for competition is one of effective ways to lead them to achieving outstanding accomplishments and cooperation can build trust between each other and help to bring long-term relationship among peers. For another, it is suggestive that children receive some outward-bounds, which are beneficial to kids' physical and emotional endurance, to inspire children's underlying potentials and shape their best character and consequently cultivate their awareness of independence.
In a nutshell, parents are supposed to be subject to the limitations of traditional concepts of raising a child; on the contrary, children ought to be offered more chances to explore as many as possible areas in their lives to find their optimal careers. Accordingly, the cultivation of the ability to be independent might be regarded as a basic education, which plays a crucial role in a child's all-round development.

A Helpless Father

The picture ironically shows that a pitiable old man in rags is being helplessly kicked off by his three sons and a daughter, who all wear decent clothes. The father’s negligent children are all guarding their home gates lest their old father “roll into” their households. In other words, they four ignore their moral sense of assuming the responsibility for their old father even though they may be all living a satisfying life. That is a painful scene we often encounter in our daily life.

Sad to say, the moral decline of the younger generations may be a rather explosive situation in our modern society. People definitely have their living conditions improved by wider and wider margins, as evidenced by the four children’s decent dressing, but their moral sense still remains sadly unchanged or in some cases becomes dramatically downgrading. Most people might have become too much self-centered, and even worse, they discard the tradition of giving respect to the elderly. They no longer care for their elders, let alone their neighbors or the disadvantaged; instead they try every means to avoid responsibility for other citizens. When one cares for others, one might even appear stupid or may even be distrusted.

Therefore, we have to take some useful measures to avoid the scene that is mentioned above. We must launch a variety of campaigns about the return to the good tradition of giving help and love the elderly. Moreover, we must appeal to our government to establish some relevant laws to punish those who avoid their duties. The last but not the least, our respect for age is an indication of the progress of human society, as imperatives of traditions require. We sincerely wish that the old man could be welcome to any of the four households, elegantly dressed, and a smile on the face.

答案：
解析：
In the picture above,a man is talking on his phone loudly in a public place,being deliberately ignorant of other people's aversion to him within the same enclosed area.This illustration tries to point out the public cell phone behavior Public places,such as libraries,hospitals,galleries and theaters,are usually expected to be quiet and peaceful ne uses of mobile phones in such places are likely to disrupt the desirable working environment For instance.in a library,where people are pondering over the books,the constant mobile ringtones or the phone conversation will be intru-sive or irritating.Mobile phone usage in public places like hospitals can easily interfere with the medical equipment which can be harmful to the patient.Moreover,the environment at shopping malls,stores and other public places is very noisy and talking over cell phones will add extra decibel.Apart from that,using mobile phones in music galleries or theaters can result in others'discomfort and spoil their entertainment In my opinion,cell phones should be allowed in public places with some restrictions.What's more,in public places,quiet zones where phone use is banned should be set up.

答案：
解析：
一、审题谋篇2014年的大作文从总体上来看不难，因为它考查到了现在的一个社会热点。而且从十年的考研真题来讲，2005年的大作文考查到的是赡养老人的问题，当年的图画是可怜的老父亲缩成了一只皮球，四个儿女守着四个球门，老人被儿女们踢来踢去。当年的描述图画部分比较难表达，而今年图画描述部分相比起来就容易得多。写作框架仍然采取标准三段式来写。第一段图画描述段的写作内容主要是描述图画，需包括两点：三十年前是个什么样子，现在是什么样子。三十年前“我”还是个孩子，母亲大手拉小手陪伴着我成长；现在，母亲上年纪了，我陪伴在母亲的身旁。图的重心应该是在右边一幅，突出的是子女长大后要关爱、感恩父母。第二段是图画内涵阐释段。首先用一句话阐释图片内涵，然后用事实对该内涵进行阐释。可正面举例说明社会存在这样良好的风尚，也可以从反面说明当前社会中人们忽视了对父母的关爱和回报。第三段评论段的写作内容为给出自己的评论和建议。可以指出年轻人应该把尊重和照顾年迈的父母视为一种道义责任。也可以从细节出发，年轻人在生活中如何做到孝顺父母。只有这样，我们的家庭才能和睦，社会才能更加和谐!二、参考范文As can been seen,love between a mother and a daughter is reflected by the drawing:in the left one,a young and amiable mother is holding one hand of her little daughter,while in the right photo,when the mother is aged,her daughter,who has grown up,is supporting her,just as the mother did thirty years ago.Just as the caption below summarizes,the implication conveyed in the picture is self-evident:we need to show our concern and love to our parents.However,most of us fail to do this job.As our pace of life gallops along,increasingly our society is seeing a decline in traditional moral values.It is revealed in the fact that we always put back filial piety.As young men now deem the career as the priority,they often choose to migrate with their jobs,and work around the clock,leaving parents in empty-nests.Besides,many people are used to substituting their care for parents with money or gifts.While it is beyond dispute that material support can improve our parents’living standards,what these aged people need most is company and love from us,such as a simple call,a short time at home.It is easy to draw this conclusion that,to our parents,nothing can be better than the filial piety from children.Whenever possible,we should gather around the table for a“reunion dinner”with our parents;whether busy or not,we need to give our parents a call and tell them we are fine.Only with our full awareness of caring our parents with gratitude can our parents lead a really happy life.三、万能句型1.As can been seen,…is reflected by the drawing:….2.Just as the caption below summarizes,the implication conveyed in the picture is self-evident:….3.As our pace of life gallops along,increasingly our society is seeing….4.It is revealed in the fact that….5.While it is beyond dispute that…,….6.It is easy to draw this conclusion that….7.Only with our full awareness of…can….

解析：
Portrayed in the two cartoons is a thought-provoking scenario:In the left one,a young man,comfortably lounging on the chair,is looking at his huge bookshelf full of books contentedly,while the other,in the right drawing,is determined to finish reading 20 books in a year.By this scenario,the cartoonist is trying to awaken us to the importance of reading and sticking to our goals.It is universally held that with the advance of modern society,only those equipped with updated knowledge are most likely to reach the summit of their success,which can only be achieved through constant reading.Nevertheless,without actions,our objectives are bound to be a fantasy.Indeed,people fail always because they stop trying,not because they encounter invincible difficulties.From what has been mentioned above,we may reasonably arrive at the conclusion that only those who keep learning and cherish the spirit of persistence have opportunities to succeed.Action always speaks louder than words.If you understand and adhere to this principle in your study and work,you will definitely benefit greatly.
