7 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.

　　該文可分三段來寫。第一段描述圖畫。第二段分析該圖畫所代表的現象。第三段談解決問題的辦法。I am sure that any one of you will be as shocked as me while looking at the two pictures: a person at the crossroads wants to know the right road to Li village, but only after he puts a coin into the slot does the signpost begin to point directions. What a genius design—we can expect that after some time a large sum of money will be collected with little effort.

　　The above pictures remind us of a common phenomenon in the present society. Some government departments try in a hundred and one ways to collect money by inventing different names. Obviously, they put economic interests in the first place and forget the promise to work for the public benefits.

　　To prevent such unpleasantness from happening again, laws should be established to standardize the various expenses of the government in the first place. When their rights and obligations become transparent, common people will realize whether an expense is reasonable or not. Moreover, a supervisory mecha�瞡ism should be set up as soon as possible—only under the joint efforts of the mass media and all citizens, can we have a society of fairness and justice.第一段描述圖畫，將兩圖的對比突顯了出來。

　　第二段首句是段落統領句。第二句說有些政府部門千方百計巧立名目來撈錢。第三句說他們將經濟利益放在首位，忘了為公眾服務的承諾。

　　第三段首先講應立法來規范政府收費。次句說當權利和義務變得透明時，普通人會知道某項收費是否合理。第三句說應盡快建立監督機制——只有媒體與公眾同心協心，我們才能擁有平等與公正的社會。雙圖的情形總體上比單圖少，描述時應注意突顯對比或時間的接續。將圖中事件與某種社會現象建立聯系，是非常關鍵的步驟。這種聯系有時不是唯一的，如2003年真題中的花朵就既可以指對孩子的教育，也可以指全球經濟一體化下的某些國內企業，而這兩種寫法都可以得到很高的分數。大家不妨將讀圖的實踐做一記錄，看看哪些理解對了，哪些理解有偏差，經過這樣的訓練，準確率將大大提高。
