We can see clearly from the chart that the percentage
10、 of male respondents supporting the idea of down-to-earth marriage is much higher than that of female ones. There is no doubt that this reflects the difference between man and woman. For one thing, the reason lies in their different demands for marriage. The majority of women focus on the sense of s
11、ecurity. After all, marriage is not equal to love, and the basic material foundation is necessary, especially after marriage. Meanwhile, they take material foundation as the reflection of mens responsibilities. For another, to some extent, it is the consequence of social reality, such as the high li
12、ving standard, high wedding cost and more free and independent minds. Taking into account what has been discussed above, we can arrive at the conclusion that the finding that men and women have distinct attitudes towards down-to-earth marriage is consistent with the difference between the two gender
13、s as well as the development of society. I believe that the percentage of people supporting the so-called down-to-earth marriage will change constantly as time goes on. 【试题解析】 本题属于图表作文。从柱状图可以了解到男女两性 对裸婚的不同态度。在具体行文方面，考生应首先简单描述图表内容；然后从男女双方对婚姻的要求及现实社会生活两方面具体分析他们的不同观点及其成因；最后总结自己观点。 【知识模块】 作文 2 【正确答案】 No
14、t Be Fooled by the Superficies In the picture, there are two rabbits harvesting carrots. The bigger rabbit leans against a big bundle of flourishing leaves with exultation; while the small rabbit holds a small bundle of wretched leaves, totally frustrated. Actually the size of the carrots under the
15、ground is contrary to the size of the leaves above the ground. The moral of this picture is obvious. On the one hand, one should not be fooled by the surface of things. Instead, he should investigate the whole thing before a conclusion is drawn finally. If the small rabbit digs his carrot out, he wo
16、uld not feel discouraged any more. On the other hand, one should always hold determination in mind no matter what happens if he wants to achieve his goal. If the small rabbit feels disappointed and gives up the carrot just because of its small leaves, he would never know that his carrot is much bigg
17、er than his peers. So long as he is persistent, he will finally get his reward. To conclude, one must not judge anything from its appearance. If one holds an objective attitude and never gives up halfway, he is sure to win in the end. 【试题解析】 本题是图画作文。在具体行文时，考生应首先对图画进行简单描述。然后指出图画中隐含的两个道理：一个是不能只看事物的表面现

At the same time, a thirst
19、y refugee is crawling to him, holding in the air a broken bowl for help. It goes without saying that the drawing satirizes the recent popular Ice Bucket Challenge and this absurd deed should be stopped. First, the challenge aims at charity at the beginning, but soon it becomes a kind of farce. Those
20、 celebrities are playing the game wildly and enjoying themselves very much. Except for the concern of how fast their photos are spread on the Internet, they seem to show little concern for those patients. Besides, many regions in the world are suffering from the most serious drought in history. The
21、challenge becomes a movement to waste water rather than serious charity. In conclusion, only when those celebrities stop entertaining and take everything in a serious way can they deserve their name and be respected by ordinary people. 【试题解析】 本题是图画作文。在具体行文时，考生可先简单描述图画内容。然后揭示图画隐含的讽刺意义：很多名人只关心自己的照片在网上

One man is working hard although he is still somewhat far away from the treasure. The other man had gone
23、much farther than the first man, but he retreated when he was only one step away from the treasure. The picture mainly tells us that no matter what we do, we can not achieve our goal without determination. On the one hand, there are a lot of hardships and difficulties on the way to success, and vict
24、ory only belongs to those who can hold on straight to the end. Those who are not brave enough to face challenges and overcome their own weaknesses will definitely quit halfway. On the other hand, the hardest time is when one is about to succeed. A determined person has strong will and confidence in
25、what he is doing, thats why he can overcome hardships and difficulties and carry through to the end. In conclusion, we must realize that determination and confidence are the decisive factors to success. Without them, we will never find the treasure of our life. 【试题解析】 本题是图画作文。图中有两个人在挖地下隧道，试图找到宝藏。在具体

But because he has got used to writing with a mouse, he is so embarrassed that he does not know how t
27、o write with traditional writing tools. The picture mainly tells us that it is the overdependence on computer that leads to our forgetting of words. On the one hand, this phenomenon is not uncommon among young people. Nowadays, it is really no big deal for them to design a delicate resume or write a
28、nd edit a document with a computer. When they are asked to write something with a pen, they may either write poorly or even forget how to write. On the other hand, people are becoming more and more dependent on computers, thus they write worse and worse. Many people consider handwriting no longer pr
29、actical. With the help of a computer, it does not matter whether your handwriting is good or not. Actually, people today rarely pick up a pen to write anything.
