亿人，而伦敦仅 548 亿。华盛顿的载客量还没有达到100 亿，只有 70 亿。北京地铁的载客

范文 1
Directions:
How can we meet the needs of today without diminishing the capacity of future generations
to meet theirs? Sustainable development implies a broad view of human welfare, a long term
perspective about social development. Write an essay which should cover:
1) describing the set of drawings below,
2) stating its main idea, and
3) giving your comment.
You should write about 160-200 words.
As can be seen from the above drawings, the father has planted a small tree that grows into a
big one andis left to his son to enjoy. Years later, his son sits under the big tree enjoying its shade.
In social development, we should not over utilize our natural resources, as in the case of
forests. A reasonable use of forests and reforestation are the best choices in the long run. Human
beings should plan ahead when it comes to social development. Even though trees are in short
demand today, we must still keep the deforestation under control, for we do not want to eliminate
all of our forests, which are essential to our existence. Reforestation is another wise practice. We
may not fully benefit from planting trees for the time being, but we must continue doing so, since
it will benefit later generations.
From the point of view of sustainable development, we have the responsibility to ensure that
future generations have enough natural resources to use and are not penalized for the
shortsightedness of present day decision makers. In other words, we should not use up our natural
resources just to meet our own present day needs, while ignoring the future of our planet.

画中可见， 一位父亲种了一棵小树， 这棵小树将长成参天大树， 他的儿子将会从中受益。
多年以后，他的儿子坐在树下享受着大树带来的阴凉。
在社会发展中，我们不能过度使用自然资源，比如说森林资源。从长远来说对森林的合
理利用和植树造林是最好的选择。人类应当为社会发展做长远的打算。尽管木材在当今社会
十分短缺，我们也必须控制滥砍滥伐，因为我们不愿看到森林这一人类赖以生存的基础被彻
底用尽。植树造林无疑是又一项英明的举措。我们也许暂时不能够充分享受植树给我们带来
的益处，但是我们必须继续将这一举措坚持下去，因为它会使我们的后代受益。
从可持续发展的角度来看， 我们有责任来保障后代有丰富的自然资源可利用，并且不会
使他们因今天决策者的目光短浅而受到惩罚。换句话说，我们不应该仅为满足我们自己当前
的需要而用尽所有的自然资源，忽视我们后代的需求。
范文 2
Directions: Study the following set of cartoons carefully and write an essay in which you should
1) describe the cartoons,
2) interpret its meaning, and
3) point out its implications in our life.
You should write about 160-200 words neatly on ANSWER SHEET 2. (20 points)
In the above cartoons, a young woman happily eats bananas and casually discards the peels on the
street, unaware of the fact that such actions not only pollute the environment but also pose a
danger to others. In the next illustration a disabled man struggles to properly dispose of the trash
she has left behind.
Being well dressed is of great importance in keeping a good appearance. The way a person is
dressed helps him to have a good appearance, which conveys his confidence and attitudes towards
life. However, we should always bear this in mind: don t judge a person by his appearance. One
s confidence and good impression on others does not usually develop from the way one dresses
or looks, but the inner qualities one possesses. Because of this, the old man is displaying a more
beautiful virtue even though he is disabled and somewhat ugly physically compared with the
young girl.
No doubt beauty usually refers to what appeals to the eyes. A nice, pretty girl is regarded as
beautiful. A bunch of vigorous flowers are also considered as beautiful. A splendid waterfall
coming down from a mountain is as well looked upon as beautiful. However, beauty also refers to
what appeals to the mind. The virtues of the Chinese people are regarded as beautiful, because
they have helped to produce such a magnificent culture in the world. In a word, we should not
only pay attention to our physical appearance, but also improve our heart and soul.
译文
漫画中描绘了一个穿着入时的女孩把香蕉皮随手丢弃在地上，而不是把它放入垃圾桶
内。之后，一位年长的残疾人把它拾起放入了垃圾桶。穿着漂亮固然能够展现美丽的外表。
一个人的穿着方式有助于其拥有漂亮的外表，这体现了一个人对生活的信心和态度。然而，
我们应该始终记住这样的原则： 不以貌取人。一个人的自信和良好的形象往往不只在于她的
长相和穿着，而在于她的内在品质。正因如此，这位拥有高尚道德的长者看起来要比这位时
髦女孩更加美丽，尽管他有残疾而他的外表也比不上这位年轻的女孩。
毫无疑问，美丽是指那些吸引人们目光的东西。一个漂亮迷人的女孩是美丽，一束盛开
的鲜花同样是美丽，一个壮观的瀑布从山上飞流直下也是美丽。然而，美丽还指那些能够吸
引人们思想的东西。中华民族的传统美德是美丽，因为正是这样的美德才孕育了世界上如此
灿烂的文化。 一言以蔽之，我们不仅要只注意自己的外表，同时也要使我们的心灵得到升
华。
