第二六篇

　　26 Study the following drawing carefully and write an essay in which you should:

　　1. describe the drawing,

　　2. interpret its meaning, and

　　3. make your comment.

　　You should write 160~200 words neatly on ANSWER SHEET 2.

　　該文可分四段來寫。第一段描述圖畫。第二段分析該現(xiàn)象產(chǎn)生的原因。第三段談嚴(yán)重的后果。最后一段是結(jié)論段。In the picture, a student is talking to his class�瞞ates: “I will certainly choose Mr. Li�餾 optional course, for everyone could pass the examination.”

　　I feel extremely disappointed whenever I hear such remarks on campus. The diploma has been regarded as the guarantee for a secure future, and to get the diploma students have to pass all the examinations. Instead of acquiring knowledge and developing skills, many students concentrate on various techniques to pass various examinations.

　　Such a belief will bring many harmful consequences. First of all, when they make every effort to pass examinations, they will be most likely to memorize certain answers and even go directly to teachers for a certain scope covering examination items. In this way they deprive themselves of the right to think, to explore and to find. Second, some teachers are too lenient with students—they may want to leave a good impression or they just lack patience. In the long run, the teaching quality will deteriorate as nobody is exercising quality control. Lastly, cheating will be on the rise as long as we judge students solely by examination marks. If a test is full of multiple�瞔hoice questions, it is more likely for a student to peer at another test paper. But if the teacher takes pains to design more creative open�瞖nded questions, fewer students will make the wrong choice.

　　This phenomenon has been worrying me for a long time. The aim of college education, in my belief, is to cultivate skills and inspire creativity. The best way is that a teacher demonstrates the beauty of his course and the great happiness of exploring in his field. Only if the students are inspired will it become possible for them to understand the importance of confidence and integrity.第一段將圖中人物的話譯出。第二段的首句談了自己的感受。而后闡述了為什么學(xué)生會說出上面的話——為了畢業(yè)文憑，學(xué)生對如何通過考試非常重視。

　　第三段談了這種理念帶來的嚴(yán)重后果。首先重視考試會剝奪他們思考、探索和尋獲的能力。其次有些老師對學(xué)生太寬松，長此以往將導(dǎo)致教學(xué)質(zhì)量的下降。最后，作弊之風(fēng)將日盛。如果考試中多一些創(chuàng)造性的問題，將會比都是選擇題要好得多。

　　末段是筆者有感而發(fā)。在統(tǒng)領(lǐng)句后，談了自己對教育的看法：教育的目的是培養(yǎng)技能和激發(fā)創(chuàng)造力。最好的辦法就是老師展示課程之美和在此領(lǐng)域中耕耘的巨大快樂。只有學(xué)生被激勵(lì)，才有可能讓他們理解自信和誠實(shí)的重要性。該段是對第二段的呼應(yīng)，是對解決該問題提出自己的看法。在大作文的寫作中，有相對主觀和客觀的方法，其中客觀的方法用得比較多，這是為了給人留下真實(shí)可信的印象。但有的時(shí)候也可以使用主觀的方法，這種方法的個(gè)性化較強(qiáng)，給人的沖擊力較大，如果有獨(dú)到的見解，且談得入情入理，會取得很好的效果。該文就是這樣的例子，在第二段與第四段開頭顯露無疑。這樣寫會讓人感覺到寫作者的豐富情感和深刻的憂患意識，只要能一針見血地指出問題的要害，整體的效果就很強(qiáng)烈了。
