1 If I Were a Boy Again

If I were a boy again, I would practise perseverance oftener, and never give up a thing because it was hard or inconvenient. If we want light, we must conquer darkness. Perseverance can sometimes equal genius in its results. "There are only two creatures," says a proverb, "who can surmount the pyramids—the eagle and the snail."

If I were a boy again, I would school myself into a habit of attention; 1 would let nothing come between me and the 假如我再回到童年 假如我再回到童年，我会更多地培养自己的毅力，决不因为事情艰难或麻烦而放弃不干。如果我们要光明，我们就得征服黑暗。在产生的结果方面，毅力往往可以与天才相媲美。谚语说：?能登上金字塔的生物只有两种——雄鹰与蜗牛。? 假如我再回到童年，我会培养自己专心致志的习惯；一旦手头有事，决不让任何东西使我分心。我会牢记：一位优秀的溜冰手从不试图同时滑向两个不同的方向。subject in hand. I would remember that a good skater never tries to skate in two directions at once. The habit of attention becomes part of our life, if we begin early enough. I often hear grown-up people say, "I could not fix my attention on the lecture or book, although I wished to do so," and the reason is, the habit was not formed in youth.

If I were to live my life over again, I would pay more attention to the cultivation of the memory. I would strengthen that faculty by every possible means, and on every possible occasion. It takes a little hard work at first to remember things accurately; but memory soon helps itself, and gives very little trouble. It only needs early cultivation to become a power.

If I were a boy again, I would look on the cheerful side. Life is very much like a mirror: if you smile upon it, it smiles back upon you; but if you frown and look doubtful on it, you will get a similar look in return.Inner sunshine warms not only the heart of the owner, but of all that come in contact with it. "Who shuts love out, in turn shall be shut from love."

If I were a boy again, 1 would school myself to say 'No' oftener. 1 might write pages on the importance of learning very early in life to gain that point where a young boy can stand erect, and decline doing an unworthy act because it is unworthy.

If I were a boy again, I would demand of myself more courtesy towards my companions and friends, and indeed towards strangers as well. The smallest courtesies along the rough roads of life are life the little birds that sing to us all winter long, and make that season of ice and snow more endurable.

Finally, instead of trying hard to be happy, as if that were the sole purpose of life, if I were a boy again, try still harder to make others happy.

如果及早养成专心致志的习惯，它就会成为我们生命的一个部分。我常常听到成年人说：?我希望中注意力听演讲或读书，但往往做不到。?其原因就在于年轻时没有养成这种习惯。 假如我能重新活过，我会更加注意培养自己的记忆力。我要采取一切可能的办法，在一切可能的场合，增强记忆力。要精确地记住一切事物，起初的确要做出一番小小的努力；但用不了多久，记忆力本身就会起作用，使记忆成为轻而易举的事。只需及早培养，记忆自会成为一种才能。 假如我再回到童年，我会凡事都看光明的一面。生活就像一面镜子：你朝它微笑，它也会朝你微笑；但如果你朝它皱眉头，它也会朝你皱眉头；如果你用怀疑的目光看待它，它也会以同样怀疑的目光看待你。内心的阳光不仅温暖了自己的心，同时也温暖了所有跟他接触的人的心。?谁将爱拒之门外，谁就会被爱拒之门外。? 假如我再回到童年，我就要养成经常说?不?的习惯。一个少年要能挺得腰杆，拒绝做不值得做的事——就因为它不值得做。我可以写上好几页，谈谈早期培养这一点的重要性。 假如我再回到童年，我会要求自己对待同伴和朋友更有礼貌，而且对陌生人也确实如此。在坎坷的人生道路上，最细小的礼貌犹如在漫长的冬季为我们歌唱的小鸟，使得冰天雪地的严冬变得较易忍受。 最后，假如我再回到童年，我不会竭力为自己谋幸福——似乎那是人生的唯一目标；与之相反，我会更加努力，让他人幸福。 交流方式 当你说话、写信或打电话的时候，你的言语就传递了信息。人们用语言交流。

2 Ways of Communication

When you speak, write a letter, or make a telephone call, your words carry a message. People communicate with words. But do you know people also communicate without words? A smile on your face shows you are happy or friendly. Tears in your eyes tell others that you are sad. When you raise your hand in class, the teacher knows you want to say something or ask questions. You shake your head and people know you are 不过，你知道吗?人们不用语官也能交流。你知道吗?脸上的微笑显示你高兴或友好。眼中的泪水告诉别人你很伤心。课堂上你一举手，老师就知道你有话要说或有问题要问。你摇摇头，人们就知道你在说?不?；你点点头，人们就知道你在说?是?。 其他事物也能传递信息。例如，公共汽车站的站牌帮助你弄清该乘哪一辆车。学校墙上的路牌帮助你找到图书馆。门上的牌子告诉你从哪儿进去或从哪儿出来。你可曾注意到，在你周围有许许多多招牌，saying "No". You nod and people know you are saying "Yes".

Other things can also carry messages. For example, a sign at the bus stop helps you to know which bus to take. A sign on the wall of your school helps you to find the library. Signs on the doors tell you where to go in or out. Have you ever noticed that there are a lot of signs around you and that you receive messages from them all the time?

People can communicate in many other ways. An artist can use his drawings to tell about beautiful mountains, the blue seas and many other things. Books are written to tell you about all the wonderful things in the world and what other people are thinking about.

3 The Fight against Youth Smoking

Since I took office I’ve done everything in my power to protect our children from harm. We've worked to make their streets and their schools safer, to give them something positive to do after school and before their parents get home. We've worked to teach our children that drugs are dangerous, illegal and wrong.

Today, I want to talk to you about the historic op-portunity we now have to protect our nation's children from an even more deadly threat: smoking. Smoking kills more people every day than AIDS, alcohol, car accidents, murders, suicides, drugs and fires combined. Nearly 90 percent of those smokers lit their first cigarette before they turned 18. Consider this: 3,000 children start to smoke every day illegally, and 1,000 of them will die sooner because of it.

This is a national tragedy that every American should be honor-bound to help prevent. For more than five years we've worked to stop our children from smoking before they start, launching a nationwide campaign to educate them about the 而你一直在从这些招牌中获取各种信息? 人们还可以用其他许多方式来相互交流。画家可以用他的绘画来表现壮丽的山脉、湛蓝的大海和其他许多事物。作家撰写书籍给你讲述世界上一切奇妙的事物，告诉你别人正在想些什么。 与青少年吸烟作斗争 自从我就职以来，我就在我的权力范围内为保护儿童不受伤害作了一切努力。我们已经努力使他们的街区和学校更加安全，让他们在放学以后和父母回家之前这段时间内有积极的事可做。我们已经努力教育我们的孩子，毒品是危险的、违法的和错误的。 今天，我想和你们谈谈我们目前所拥有的历史性机遇，这个机遇就是保护我们国家的孩子免受一种更致命的威胁：吸烟。吸烟每天导致死亡的人数比爱滋病、酗酒、车祸、谋杀、自杀、吸毒及火一起导致的死亡人数还要多。这些吸烟者中有90％是在18岁之前开始吸第一支烟的。请考虑以下事实：每天有3000名儿童开始违法吸烟，由于吸烟，他们中将有1000人因此而缩短寿命。 这是一个国家的悲剧。每一个人在道义上都有责任防止它的发生。在过去五年多的时间里，我们一直努力在孩子们开始吸烟之前就阻止他们，在全目范围内发起一场运动，教育青少年认识到吸烟的危害，减少他们获得烟草产，品的渠道，严格限制烟草公司向青少年做广告。如果我们采取这些行动。我们就可以在未来的五年内

（1）2000年真题。

Directions:

Study the following set of pictures carefully and write an essay in no less than 150 words.

Your essay must be written clearly on ANSWER SHEET 2.Your essay should cover all the information provided and meet the requirements below:

1. Describe the pictures

2. Deduce the purpose of the artist of the pictures.

3. Suggest counter-measures.

真题分析：

本题的题目是一组图，其中上下两幅图形成了鲜明的对比。考生需要抓住的细节包括年代的差别（分别是1900年和1995年，相隔约一个世纪）、渔船数量的差别、海洋中鱼的数量差别。这时只要简单地加以分析就可以发现，画图者

的意图是警告人们，如果人类继续无节制地开发自然资源，那么总有一天自然资源将会彻底枯竭，最终威胁到人类自己的生存。考生需要分析画图者的本意，并提出相应的解决措施。

这里需要再次提醒的一点是，在第一段描述图中内容时，要用过去时来说明两个不同年代的情况。

思路拓展：

环境问题是一个涉及内容十分广泛的话题，包括环境污染、沙漠化、森林退化、资源枯竭、全球变暖、生态失衡，同时还与人口增长、经济发展、能源开发等一系列社会问题紧密相连。从根本上来说，这都是由于人类无休止地向地球索取、而没有采取合适的方法来回报地球，造成地球的产能已经无法承受如此巨大的负担。考生在文章中可以提出，要彻底解决环境问题，需要各国政府和全世界每一个人的通力合作，需要唤醒所有人的环境保护意识，用所有可能的措施，包括政治和经济上的合作、全社会的大力倡导、法律的介入等一系列措施来治理这一问题。

范文：

The picture unveils a drastic change of ocean ecology during the past century due to the expanding scale of world commercial fishing. There were few fishing ships on the sea in

1900 when an enormous number of fish swam freely; in contrast, in 1995 a large fleet of ships were endeavoring to search for the only fish in the sea.

The tremendous contrast presented by the drawing alarmingly reminds us of the detrimental deterioration of oceanic ecosystem by the greediness of mankind. The industry of commercial fishing had undergone a booming expansion along with the growing public awareness of the merits of seafood, which made fishing unusually profitable. Lacking knowledge regarding the significance of ecological balance, businessmen sent out ships that insatiably chased fishes and thus posed a severe threat to all life in the sea. However, this trend may in turn endanger humankind.

To prevent the exhaustion of ocean resources, governments should unite to work out effective measures against commercial fishing. For instance, there should be limitations on fishing time and location so as to reduce the exploitation of the sea. Moreover, people also call for laws and regulations that are responsible for punishing excessive fishing. Last but not the least, the public attachment to the importance of balance preservation would play a decisive role in saving ocean species from extinction.

译文：

该图显示出20世纪以来由于全球商业捕鱼业的大规模扩张而导致海洋生态系统的巨大变化。1900年的时候海上只有一艘船，而海里有许许多多鱼儿在自由地遨游；相反，到了1995年，海上有许多渔船，它们都在努力寻找海里仅剩的一条鱼。

该图所显示出来的巨大反差使我们警醒地意识到人们的贪婪给海洋生态系统造成了巨大的破坏。随着公众意识到了海鲜食品的价值，商业捕鱼也在不断扩张，而且有着十分高的利润率。由于商人们缺少对于生态平衡的认识，他们的渔船无休止地捕鱼，给海洋生物的生存造成了巨大的威胁。但是，这个趋势可能最终会反过来威胁到人类自己的生存。 为了防止海洋资源的枯竭，各个政府必须联合起来，对商业捕鱼采取有效的措施。例如，为了防止过度捕捞，可以限制捕鱼的时间和地点。此外，人们还呼吁制定更多的法律法规来惩罚过度捕捞。最后，公众对于保持生态平衡重要性的认识对于拯救濒临灭绝的海洋生物起到了决定性的作用。
