Fluid intelligence is the type of intelligence that has to do with short-term memory and the ability to think quickly, logically, and abstractly in order to solve new problems. It l in young adulthood, levels out for a period of time, and then 2 starts to slowly decline as we age. But 3 aging is inevitable, scientists are finding out that certain changes in brain function may not be. One study found that muscle 1oss and the 4 of body fat around the abdomen are associated with a decline in fluid intelligence. This suggests the 5 that lifestyle factors might help prevent or 6 this type of decline.

The researchers looked at data that 7 measurements of lean muscle and abdominal fat from more than 4,000 middle-to-older-aged men and women and 8 that data to reported changes in fluid intelligence over a six-year period. They found that middle-aged people 9 higher measures of abdominal fat 10 worse on measures of fluid intelligence as the years 11 .For women, the association may be 12

to changes in immunity that resulted from excess abdominal fat; in men, the immune system did not appear to be 13 . It is hoped that future studies could 14 these differences and perhaps lead to different

15 for men and women.16 there are steps you can 17 to help reduce abdominal fat and maintain lean

muscle mass as you age in order to protect both your physical and mental 18 . The two highly

1. 【答案】C peaks

【解析】此处考察词义辨析+句间逻辑关系。文章首段首句为主题句，谈到一个概念：流体

智力（fluid intelligence），是一种智力类型，它与短期记忆和快速、逻辑和抽象地思考以解

决新问题的能力有关。想要解决空格处需要分析整句话的逻辑关系。前文提到青年人，后文

提到这种流体智力智力随着年龄增长会慢慢下降，所以根据时间发展的关系，前面提到这种

智力在青年时达到峰值（peaks），并且会停留一段时间，随后随着年龄的增长会逐渐下降。

正确答案为 peaks。pauses 暂停；return 恢复，返回；fades 逐渐消退。

2. 【答案】D generally

【解析】此处考察词汇辨析。根据上一道题目的具体分析，不难得出空格处应该是对这种普

遍现象得修饰，we age 体现我们大所数人，所以应该选择 D generally。alternatively 要不然，

或者（二者择其一）； formally 正式地，正规地；accidentally 偶然地。

3. 【答案】A while

【解析】此处考察句内逻辑关系。空格处所在句子是以转折词 But 开始，但考察句内之间

的意思转折：但是， 3 年纪增长不可避免，科学家发现某些大脑功能不会发生变化。年纪

增长和科学家的发现是对立的观点，所以应该选择 while，尽管。since 因为；当......时；once

一旦；until 直到。

4. 【答案】C consumption

【解析】 此处考察词义辨析+句内逻辑关系。并列连词 and 将空格处与前文 muscle loss 并

列，行车前后近义词的关系，那么空格处要选择一个与肌肉消失表达意思相近的词。所给选

项中只有 C 选项 consumption 意思是消耗的意思，带入原文符合句意。detection 侦查，勘察；

accumulation 积累，积攒，增加；separation 分开，分离。

5. 【答案】A possibility

【解析】此处考察词义辨析。suggest 一词是解题的关键，这个单词用在考研英语的文章中

大部分都是暗示的意思，

that 引导的同位语从句中句子的谓语动词前还有情态动词 may 表推

测，这都是在说明一种不太确定的可能性，所以选择 possibility。decision 决定；goal 目标；

requirement 要求。

6. 【答案】A delay

【解析】此处考察词义辨析+句内逻辑关系。并列连词 or 将空格处和前文 prevent 构成近义

词的关系，delay 延迟和 prevent 阻止是相近句意表达。ensure 确保；seek 寻求，请求；utilize

利用，使用；

7. 【答案】C included

【解析】此处考察词义辨析。根据题干和选项特点不难看出句中 that 引导的是一个定语从句，

从句列举了 data 的具体分类和实验人群，所以定语从句是在具体说明 data 的内容，要选择

included 包含，包括。modified 改变；supported 支持；predicted 预测。

8. 【答案】B compared

【解析】此处考察动词短语词义搭配和辨析+上下文语境。空格处表 devote to 把......专用于，

完全用于；compare A to B 将 A 和 B 进行比较；convert A to B 将 A 转变成 B；apply A to B

将 A 应用于 B。空格处所在句意为将那些数据和已知报道进行....。后文和下文都是在进行

不同情况的比较来得出答案，所以应该选择 compare。

9. 【答案】A with

【解析】此处考察介词的用法。这个介词里只有 with 能体现的是某种状态：有着较高腹部

脂肪检测结果的中年人.......

10. 【答案】C scored

【解析】此处考察词义辨析+上下文语境。空格处所在句子表达：有着较高腹部脂肪单位的

中年人在流体智力检测时得分不高，测量智力是会得出具体分数的，就像我们平时说的智力

测试。lived 生存，活着；managed 完成；scored 得分；played 表现。

11. 【答案】D went by

【解析】此处考察动词短语辨析。...as the years went by. 随着时间的流逝，也算是固定的搭

配。ran out 耗尽，放弃；set off 出发，动身，启程；drew in 吸引，拉入。

12. 【答案】B attributable

【解析】此处考察形容词辨析+上下文逻辑关系。空格处所在句子用分号隔开，分号代表前

后两句话讨论得是一个问题，有可能相同也有可能相反。分号前说免疫系统对于女性来说的

作用，后文是用男性来进行比较，说免疫系统对于男性的变化没什么作用。前后是相反的观

点，所以免疫系统对女性是有影响的。attributable to 归因于...; superior

to 优于，胜于；parallel to 平行于，与......平等；resistance to 抵抗。

13. 【答案】C involved

【解析】此处考察非谓语动词词义辨析。分析了上一题，这一道题也迎刃而解，空格处所在

句子是在表达对于男性而言，免疫系统没有对其产生影响，did not appear to be involved，似

乎不涉及在内。

14. 【答案】D explain

【解析】此处考察动词辨析+句意理解。It is hoped that ...体现出是寄希望于以后的实验研究

来得出结论。alter 改变，变更，更改；spread 开展，传播；remove 移除，清除。

15. 【答案】D treatment

【解析】此处考察词义辨析。空格处所在句子表明：希望今后的研究能够解释这些差异，并

可能导致对男人和女人的不同待遇。因为有差别才应该采取不同的对待方式。compensations

补偿；symptoms 症状；demands 要求，需求；treatments 处理，对待。

16. 【答案】B Meanwhile

【解析】此处考察段落之间的逻辑关系。there are steps 体现出有一些措施可供参考，可见空

or D. Mark your answers on the ANSWER SHEET (40 points)

Text 1

How can Britain"s train operators possibly justify yet another increase to rail passenger fares?

It has become a grimly reliable annual ritual: every January the cost of travelling by train rises,

imposing a significant extra burden on those who have no option but to use the rail network to get

to work or otherwise. This year" s rise an average of 2.7 percent, maybe a faction lower than last

year’s, but it is still well above the official Consumer Price Ind-er (CPI) measure of inflation.

Successive governments have permitted such increases on the grounds that the cost of

investing in and running the rail network. Should be borne by those who use it, rather than the

general taxpayer. Why, the argument goes, should a car-driving pensioner from Lincoln-shire have

to subscribe the daily commute of a stockbroker from survey? Equally, there is a sense that the

travails of commuters in the south East, many of whom will face among the biggest rises, have

received too much attention compared to those who must endure the relativity poor infrastructure

of the Mid lands and the North.

However, over the past 12 months, those commuters have also experienced some of the worst

rail strikes in years. It is all very well train operators trumpeting the improvements they are

making to the network, but passengers should be able to expect a basic level of service for the

substantial sums they are now paying to travel. The responsibility for the test wave of strikes rests

on the wines. However, there is a strong case that those who have been worst affected by

industrial action should receive compensation for the disruption they have suffered.

The Government has pledged to change the law to introduce a minimum service requirement,

so that even when strikes occur services can continue to operate. This should from part of a wider

package of measures to address the long-running problems on Britain’s railways. Yes, more

investment is needed ,but passengers will not be willing to pay more indefinitely if they must also

endure cramped, unreliable services interrupted by regular chaos when time tables are changed, or

planned maintenance is managed incompetently. They threat of nationalization may have been

seen off for now, but it will return with a vengeance if the justified anger of passengers is not

addressed in short order.

21. The author holds that this year"s increase in rail passenger fares

[A] has kept pace with inflation.

[B] is a big surprise to commuters.

[C] remains an unreasonable measure.

[D] will ease train operators burden.

答案：C

22. The stockbroker in Paragraph 2 is used to stand for

[A] rail travelers.

[B] car drivers.

[C] local investors.

[D]ordinary taxpayers.

答案：A

23. It is indicated in Paragraph 3 that train operators

[A] have suffered huge losses owing to the strikes.

[B] have failed to provide an adequate service.

[C] are offering compensation to commuters.

[D] are trying to repair relations with the unions

答案：B

24. If unable to calm down passengers, the railways may have to face

[A] the loss of investment.

[B] the collapse of operations.

[C] a reduction of revenue.

[D] a change of ownership.

答案：D

25. Which of the following would be the best title for the text?

[A] Who Are to Blame for the Strikes?

[B] Constant Complaining Doesn"t Work

[C] Can Nationalization Bring Hope?

[D] Ever-rising Fares Aren"t Sustainable

答案：D

Text 2

Last year marked the third year in a row that Indonesia"s bleak rate deforestation has slowed

in pace. One reason for the turnaround may be the country "s antipoverty program.

In 2007, Indonesia started phasing in a program that gives money to its poorest residents

under certain conditions, such as requiring people to keep kids in school or get regular medical

care. Called conditional cash transfers or CCTs, these social assistance programs are designed to

reduce inequality and break the cycle of poverty. They are already used in dozens of countries

worldwide. In Indonesia, the programme has provided enough food and medicine to substantially

reduce severe growth problems among children.

But the CCT programs don"t generally consider effects on the environment. In fact, poverty

alleviation and environmental protection are often viewed as conflicting goals, says Paul Ferraro,

an economist at Johnns Hopkins University.

That"s because economic growth can be correlated with environmental degradation, while

protecting the environment is sometimes correlated with greater poverty. However, those

correlations don" t prove cause and effect, The only previous study analyzing causality, based on

an area in Mexico that had instituted CCTs, supported the traditional view. There, as people got

more money, some of them may have more cleared land for cattle to raise for meat, Ferraro says.

Such programs do not have to negatively affect the environment, though. Ferraro wanted to

see if Indonesia"s poverty-alleviation program was affecting deforestation. Indonesia has the

third-largest area of tropical forest in the world and one of the highest deforestation rates.

Ferraro analyzed satellite data showing annual forest loss from 2008 to 2012 - including

during Indonesia"s phase in of the antipoverty program - in 7,468 forested villages across 15

provinces. “We see that the program is associated with a 30 percent reduction in deforestation,”

Farrow says.

That"s likely because the rural poor are using the money as makeshift insurance policies

against inclement weather, Ferraro says. Typically. if rains are delayed, people may clear land to

plant more rice to supplement their harvest. With the CCTs, individuals instead can use the money

to supplement their harvests.

Whether this research translates elsewhere is anybody"s guess. Farrow suggests the results

may transfer to other parts of Asia, due to commonalities such as the importance of growing rice

and market access. And regardless of transferability, the study shows that what"s good for people

may also be good for the environment. Even if this program didn"t reduce poverty. Ferraro says,

“the value of the avoided deforestation just for carbon dioxide emissions alone is more than the

program costs”

26. According to the first paragraph, CCT programmes aim to _____.

[A] Facilitate health-care reform

[B] help poor families get better off

[C] Improve local education systems

[D] lower deforestation rates

答案：B

27. The study based on an area in Mexico excited to show that _____.

[A] cattle raising has been a major livelihood for the poor

[B] CCT programs have helped preserve traditional lifestyles

[C] antipoverty efforts require the participation of local farmers

[D] economic growth tends to cause environmental degradation

答案：D

28. In his study about Indonesia, Farrow intends to find out _____.

[A] its acceptance level of CCTs

[B] its annual rate of poverty alleviation

[C] the relation of CCTs to its forest loss

[D] the role of its forests in climate change

答案：C

29. According to Ferraro, the CCT program in Indonesia is valuable in that _____.

[A] it will benefit other Asian countries

[B] it will reduce regional inequality

[C] it can protect the environment

[D] it can benefit grain production

答案：A

30. What is the text centred on?

[A] The effects of a program.

[B] The debates over a program.

[C] The process of a study.

[D]The transfer ability of a study.

答案：A

Text 3

As a historian who"s always searching for the text or the image that makes us re-evaluate the

past, I"ve become preoccupied with looking for photographs that show our Victorian ancestors

smiling (what better way to shatter the image of 19th- century prudery?). I"ve found quite a few,

and - since I started posting them on Twitter 一 they have been causing quite a stir. People have

been surprised to see evidence that Victorians had fun and could, and did, laugh. They are noting

that the Victorians suddenly seem to become more human as the hundred-or -So years that

separate us fade away through our common experience of laughter.

Of course, I need to concede that my collection of ‘Smiling Victorians" makes up only a tiny

percentage of the vast catalogue of photographic portraiture created between 1840 and 1900, the

majority of which show sitters posing miserably and stiffly in front of painted backdrops, or

staring absently into the middle distance. How do we explain this trend?

During the 1840s and 1850s, in the early days of photography, exposure times were

notoriously long: the daguerreotype photographic method (producing an image on a silvered

copper plate) could take several minutes to complete,resulting in blurred images as sitters shifted

position or adjusted their limbs. The thought of holding a fixed grin as the camera performed its

magical duties was too much to contemplate, and so a non-committal blank stare became the

norm.

But exposure times were much quicker by the 1 880s, and the introduction of the Box

Brownie and other portable cameras meant that, though slow by today"s digital standards, the

exposure was almost instantaneous. Spontaneous smiles were relatively easy to capture by the

1890s, so we must look elsewhere for an explanation of why Victorians still hesitated to smile.

One explanation might be the loss of dignity displayed through a cheesy grin. “Nature gave

us lips to conceal our teeth.” ran one popular Victorian maxim, alluding to the fact that before the

birth of proper dentistry mouths were often in a shocking state of hygiene. A flashing set of

healthy and clean, regular “pearly whites” was a rare sight in Victorian society, the preserve of the

super- rich (and even then, dental hygiene was not guaranteed).

A toothy grin (especially when there were gaps or blackened gnashers) lacked class: drunks,

tramps and music hall performers might gurn and grin with a smile as wide as Lewis Carroll"s

gum-exposing Cheshire Cat, but it was not a becoming look for properly bred persons. Even Mark

Twain,a man who enjoyed a hearty laugh, said that when it came to photographic portraits there

could be “nothing more damning than a silly, foolish smile fixed forever”.

31. According to paragraph 1, the author"s posts on Twitter ______.

A. illustrated the development of Victorian photography

B. highlighted social media"s tole in Victorian studies

C. re-evaluated the Victorian"s notion of public image

D. changed people"s impression of the Victorians.

答案：D

32. What does the author say about the Victorian portraits he has collected?

A. They are rare among photograph of that age

B. They show effect of different exposure times

C. They mirror 19th-century social conventions

D. They are in popular use among historians

答案：A

33. What might have kept the Victorians from smiling pictures in the 1890s?

A. Their inherent social sensitiveness

B. Their tension before the camera

C. Their unhealthy dental condition

D. Their distrust of new inventions

答案：C

34. Mark Twain is quoted to show that the disapproval of smiles in pictures was ______.

A. a thought-provoking idea

B. a misguide attitude

C. a controversial vies

D. a deep-rotted belief

From the early days of broadband advocates for consumers and Web-based companies

worried that the cable and phone companies selling broadband connections had the power and

incentive to favor affiliated websites over their rivals. That"s why there has been such a strong

demand for rules that would prevent broadband providers from picking winners and losers online,

preserving the freedom and innovation from what have been the lifeblood of the Internet.

Yet that demand has been almost impossible to fl- in part because of push-back from

broadband providers anti -regulatory conservatives and the courts. A federal appeals court

unchanged in again. Tuesday, but instead of providing a badly needed resolution. It only

prolonged the fight. At issue before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the dirtiness of Columbia Court

was the latest take of the Federal Communications (FCC) om net neutrality, adopted on a party

-line vote in 2017. The publican penned order not only eliminated the strict net neutrality rules the

FCC had adopted. When it had a democratic majority in2015. But rejected the commission"s

authority. To require broadband providers to do much of anything. The order also declared that

state and local governments couldn"t regulate broadband providers either.

The Commission argue that other agencies would protect against anti-competitive behavior,

such as a broadband-providing conglornerable like ATRT favors its own video- stressing service at

the expense of Notfish and Appie TO caps on their rivals streaming services but not their own.

On Tuesday. the appeals court. Unanimously upheld the 2017 order deregulating broadband.

provides citing a Supreme Court ruling from 2005 that upheld a similarly deregulating more. But

Judge. Patricia Millett rightly argued in a concurring opinion that "the result is unhinged from the

realities of modem broadband service”, and said Congress on the Supreme Court could intervene

to avoid trapping Internet regulations in technological.

In the meantime, the court threw out the FCC’s attempt to block all state rules. On not

neutrality, while preserving the Commission"s power to prompt individual going on between the

Justice Department and California when enacted a tough net neutrally laws in the world of the

FCC"s abdication.

The endless legal battles and back- and -forth at the FCC cry out for Congress to act. It needs

to give the commission explicit authority once and for all to bar broadband providers from

meddling in the traffic on their network and to create clear rules protecting openness and

innovation online.

36. There has long been concern that broadband providers would

A. bring web-based firms under control

In the movies and on television, artificial intelligence (AI) is typically depicted as something

sinister that will upend our way of life. When it comes to AI in business, we often hear about it in

relation to automation and the impending loss of jobs, but in what ways is AI changing companies

and the larger economy that don"t involve doom-and-gloom mass unemployment predictions?

A recent survey of manufacturing and service industries from Tata Consultancy Services

found that companies currently use AI more often in computer-to-computer activities than in

automating human activities. Here are a few ways AI is aiding companies without replacing

employees:

Better hiring practices

Companies are using artificial intelligence to remove some of the unconscious bias from

hiring decisions. “There are experiments that show that, naturally, the results of interviews are

much more biased than what AI does,” says Pedro Domingos, author of The Master Algorithm:

How the Quest for the Ultimate Learning Machine Will Remake Our World and a computer

science professor at the University of Washington. In addition, “(41)________” One company

that"s doing this is called Blendoor. It uses analytics to help identify where there may be bias in the

hiring process

More effective marketing

Some AI software can analyze and optimize marketing email subject lines to increase open

rates. One company in the UK, Phrasee, claims their software can outperform humans by up to 10

percent when it comes to email open rates. This can mean millions more in revenue. (42)_______

These are “tools that help people use data, not a replacement for people,” says Patrick H. Winston,

a professor of artificial intelligence and computer science at MIT.

Saving customers money

Energy companies can use AI to help customers reduce their electricity bills, saving them

money while helping the environment. Companies can also optimize their own energy use and cut

down on the cost of electricity. Insurance companies, meanwhile, can base their premiums on AI

models that more accurately assess risk. Domingos says, “(43)________”

Improved accuracy

“Machine leaning often provides a more reliable form of statistics, which makes data more

valuable,” says Winston. It “helps people make smarter decisions.”(44)________

Protecting and maintaining infrastructure

A number of companies, particularly in energy and transportation, use AI image processing

technology to inspect infrastructure and prevent equipment failure or leaks before they happen. “If

they fail first and then you fix them, it"s very expensive,” says Domingos. “(45)________”

A. AI replaces the boring parts of your job. If you"re doing research, you can have AI go out and

look for relevant sources and information that otherwise you just wouldn"t have time for.

B. There are also companies like Acquisio, which analyzes advertising performance across

multiple channels like Adwords, Bing and social media and makes adjustments or suggestions

about where advertising funds will yield best results.

C. One accounting firm, EY, uses an AI system that helps review contracts during an audit. This

process, along with employees reviewing the contracts, is faster and more accurate.

D. We"re also giving our customers better channels versus picking up the phone to accomplish

something beyond human scale.

E. You want to predict if something needs attention now and point to where it"s useful for

employees to go to.

F. AI looks at resumes in greater numbers than humans would be able to, and selects the more

promising candidates.

G. Before, they might not insure the ones who felt like a high risk or charge them too much, or

they would charge them too little and then it would cost the company money.

World War II was the watershed event for higher education in modern Western societies.

(46)Those societies came out of the war with levels of enrollment that had been roughly constant

at 3-5% of the relevant age groups during the decades before the war. But after the war, great

social and political changes arising out of the successful war against Fascism created a growing

demand in European and American economies for increasing numbers of graduates with more

than a secondary school education. (47) And the demand that rose in those societies for entry to

higher education extended to groups and social classes that had not thought of attending a

university before the war. These demands resulted in a very rapid expansion of the systems of

higher education, beginning in the 1960s and developing very rapidly (though unevenly) during

the 1970s and 1980s.

The growth of higher education manifests itself in at least three quite different ways, and

these in turn have given rise to different sets of problems. There was first the rate of growth: (48)

In many counties of Western Europe, the numbers of students in higher education doubled within

five-year periods during the 1960s and doubled again in seven, eight, or 10 years by the middle of

the 1970s. Second, growth obviously affected the absolute size both of systems and individual

institutions. And third, growth was reflected in changes in the proportion of the relevant age group

enrolled in institutions of higher education.

Each of these manifestations of growth carried its own peculiar problems in its wake. For

example, a high growth rate placed great strains on the existing structures of governance, of

administration, and above all of socialization. When a faculty or department grows from, say, five

to 20 members within three or four years, (49) and when the new staff predominantly young men

and women fresh from postgraduate study, they largely define the norms of academic life in that

faculty, And if the postgraduate student population also grows rapidly and there is loss of a close

apprenticeship relationship between faculty members and students, the student culture becomes

the chief socializing force for new postgraduate students, with consequences for the intellectual

and academic life of the institution this was seen in America as well as in France, Italy, West

Germany, and Japan. (50)High growth rates increased the chances for academic innovation; they

also weakened the forms and processes by which teachers and students are admitted into a

community of scholars during periods of stability or slow growth. In the 1960s and 1970s,

European universities saw marked changes in their governance arrangements, with the

empowerment of junior faculty and to some degree of students as well.

真题解析：

今年考研英语一的小作文应该说非常简单，因为正是跨考老师在课堂上多次强调的书信

类中的建议信。给外国朋友提出有关于在中国找工作方面的建议。建议信的考频无疑是考研

历年真题中考频最高的。分别在英一 2007 年、2009 年、2012 年、2014 年，以及英二 2011

年、2016 年、2019 年和 2020 年全都有涉及考察建议信的常用英语写法。例如：给学校图书

馆提建议、给学校校长提建议加强学生身体素质、给报社编辑写关于白色污染的建议信、给

留学生写关于大学生活的建议信、给亲属写如何准备大学生活的建议信、给好朋友写如何学

习翻译的建议信等等。只要学生们在考前有充分练习曾经考过的这些篇建议信真题，那么今

年考场上一定会发挥得又快又好！还是那句话，搞定历年真题，作文就足够了！

写作时，按照一般顺序。第一段写信目的；第二段具体给出拟定的讨论话题并给出理由

和讨论的安排；第三段表达客套性内容和期待。本文的三段内容可以这样安排：第一段第一

句写问候语与好久不见的朋友寒暄并表示对他即将来中国表示自己的愉快心情，第二句则直

奔主题给他提出几条关于在中国找工作的建议。第二段则具体罗列建议，例如准备一份实用

的简历，写简历时要注意简洁明了。同时为了给面试官一个良好第一印象，建议他要展现出

一个良好的个人形象。最后可让他也了解到中国的企业很喜欢有工作实践经历的员工。最后

第三段表示希望自己的建议能够对他有帮助，同时祝福他能有个好运气，未来事业上能有成

功的表现。当然还可以写欢迎他来中国的欢迎语并表示你对他来中国的期待。

因为小作文不需要太讲究辞藻，字数也不宜过多，只要能将提纲要点表达清楚和完整，

不出现语言、格式和语域的错误，就是一篇合格的小作文了。把更多的精力花在大作文上才

是明智的策略。下面附加小作文的范文以供同学们参考。

参考范文：

Dear John,

How are you getting along these days? I am very glad to hear that you are coming to China,

and I would like to offer you several proposals on how to find a job in China.

First and foremost, it is imperative for you to prepare a functional resume in Chinese. It

would be beneficial if your resume could be specific and brief. Remember that “brevity is the best

policy.” For the sake of making a wonderful first impression, may I suggest you show

your good personal stature. What’s more, it is helpful for you to know that Chinese companies

prefer employees with some hands-on experience.

I hope that you will find my suggestions helpful. I wish you have good luck and make a great

success in your future career.

Yours,

Li Ming

Part B

52. Directions:

Write an essay of 160-200 words based on the picture below. In your essay, you should

1) describe the picture briefly,

2) explain its intended meaning and

3) give your comments.

You should write neatly on the ANSWER SHEET.（20 points）

参考范文：

Emerging from the cartoon is an eye-catching scene that a frustrated boy, wearing a suit of

opera costume, is complaining that his classmates do not like his show because they think it is too

boring. His father, however, is encouraging his son to stick to his interests. The author of the

cartoon invites us to focus on a truth that we are not supposed to blindly follow or obey others’

opinions but stick with yourself.

This picture underscores the significant role that the being yourself plays in our daily life. In

reality, sticking with yourself not only constantly facilities the healthy growth of our mindset,

making it more likely for us to become winners in in a particular field. If you are yourself at work,

you will either thrive or wither, and if you wither chances are that you are in the wrong place to

begin with. Thus, as long as you carry on doing what feels right, it will all turn out right.

When it comes to being yourself, there can be a lot of pressure from the outside world as it

tries to influence who you are. But please remember that you can do the right thing regardless of

what others are doing. Be who you are, and never ever apologize for that!
