预测范文
The ancient culture of China is one of the great treasures of human civilization. In the photo above, a foreign lady is pleasantly appreciating a traditional Chinese handcraft in a museum. At the same time,it seems that the little handiwork is smiling as well.
In my opinion, the traditional Chinese culture is not only certain to survive, but, in fact, is destined to thrive and prosper. One factor that has already begun to contribute to the preservation of Chinese traditional culture is its commercialization. Another reason that the future of China's ancient culture can be considered "safe" is the active efforts to protect it on the part of the Chinese government. Finally,the culture of China is buttressed and supported by widespread and growing international interest in China and its traditions.
For China, as for any other rapidly developing country, there is a danger that age-old customs and traditions may become lost in the shadows of modernization. If tai chi chuan, kung-fu or Peking opera ever perished from the earth, it would be a tragedy of immeasurable proportions. Fortunately, as a result of successful commercialization efforts, unwavering government support and growing interests overseas, the future of China’s traditional culture looks brighter and more secure than ever before.
参考译文
中国古老的文化是人类文明的伟大财富之一。在上述照片中,一位外国女士正在一座博物馆中愉快地欣赏一件中国传统工艺品。与此同时,似乎这件工艺品也正在微笑。
在我看来,中国传统文化不但肯定能够存活,而且必将繁荣兴盛。首先,已经开始对中国传统文化的保存做出贡献的一个因素是其自身的商业化。其次,中国古老文化可被视为“安全”的另一个原因是中国政府做出的保护文化的积极努力。最后,中国文化得到越来越广泛的对中国及其传统感兴趣的国际上的扶持和支撑。
中国跟世界上其他快速发展的国家一样,年久的习俗和传统面临着消失在现代化阴影里的危险。如果太极拳、中国功夫或京剧永远从地球上消失,那将是不可估量的悲剧。幸运的是,由于成功的商业努力、政府坚定不移的支持和不断增长的海外兴趣,中国传统文化的将来会比过去任何时候更明朗、更安全。

佳句拓展
Over the course of thousands of years, the Chinese people have created their own unique customs and traditions, and passed them on from one generation to the next.在几千年的历程中,中国人民创造了他们独特的习俗和传统,并把它们一代代传给后人。
In recent decades, however, some people have become increasingly concerned that China's cultural heritage could become marginalized or even disappear entirely. 然而最近几十年来,一些人已越来越担心中国的文化遗产可能会边缘化或者完全消失。
Whether through kung fu schools in New York, the United States or Chinese calligraphy exhibits at the Museum in Paris, France, many people around the world now have the chance to learn about China’s 5,000-year-old culture, ensuring that its reach and influence extend well beyond China’s own boarders.无论是通过美国纽约的武术学校,还是法国巴黎博物馆的书法展,现在世界上很多人都有机会了解中国五千年的文化。

3)give you comments.
As is shown in the picture above, raising up his head, a young boy is holding a glorious sun with his firm hand. The caption indicates that “With dreams, our heart can fly high; with flight, our dreams will not be far away”.
Some people think that dream is good for success while others argue that it is not so good because it may get people unrealistic. Obviously, dream is necessary in our life only if it is encouraging and realistic. First and foremost, there is power in dream. The dream can lead people to the path they want to go on and it gives us passion. The dream can be enthusiastic love of life that puts sparkle in our eyes, a lilt in our steps and smoothes the wrinkles from our souls. Furthermore, we are born with wide-eyed, enthusiastic wonder as anyone knows who has ever seen an infant’s delight at the jingle of keys or the scurrying of a beetle. It is this childlike wonder and dream that gives enthusiastic people such a youthful air, no matter how old they are. Lastly, people with dreams also love what they do, regardless of money or power or title.
In short, God gives each bird its food, but he does not throw it into its nest. Wherever you want to go, just cherish your precious dreams and let your dream be realized.
参考译文
如图所示,一个小男孩抬起头,正在用坚定的手托举着一颗辉煌的太阳。文字说明显示:“有了梦想,我们的心有了飞翔。有了飞翔,我们的梦想不再遥远”。
有些人认为梦想对成功有好处,而其他人认为由于梦想可能使人们不太现实,因此梦想没什么好处。显而易见,只有在梦想鼓舞人心并非常现实的情况下,梦想才对我们的生活是必须的。首先,梦想拥有力量。梦想可以引领人们走上他们想选择的道路,并且给予我们激情。梦想可以是对生活的热爱,使我们的眼中熠熠闪光,使我们的步伐轻快,抚慰我们灵魂的创伤。其次,我们生来就拥有天真热情的惊喜之情,任何人只要曾经见过婴儿对于钥匙叮当声或甲虫爬行的快乐,都会深有体会。正是这种孩子似的惊喜和梦想,才赋予热情的人们一种青春的气息,无论他们岁数多大。最后,拥有梦想的人们不顾金钱、权利或职位,也热爱他们的所作所为。
总之,世界上有许许多多的机会,但我们必须自己去把握。无论你想做什么,珍惜你可贵的梦想并让梦想实现。

考研命题组成员多为重点大学英语系资深教授,面对多为年轻人的考研考生经常诲人不倦,谆谆教导考研考生如何面对社会,这也是考研写作从2003至2013共十一年之间六次考察这一话题的原因。
经典句型
Some people are committed to their dreams and work hard to achieve their goals.有些人终于他们的梦想并努力工作来实现目标。
We need to live each moment wholeheartedly, with all our senses so that we can find pleasure in the fragrance of backyard, the crayon picture of a child, and the enchanting beauty of a rainbow. 我们需要全心全意地享受每时每刻,因此我们可以享受后院的芳香、小孩的蜡笔画以及彩虹迷人的魅力。
If we cannot do what we love as a full-time career, we can do it as a part-time vocation, like the head of state who paints, the nun who runs marathons and the executive who handcrafts furniture.如果我们不能把我们热爱的事物变成全职,我们可以业余时间来做,正如喜欢绘画的国家领导人,跑马拉松的修女和手工制作家具的管理者。
