【真题解析】
首先就审题而言，诸考生们需要掌握短文写作题型的审题技巧，以更快、更有效地做题。
1. 文字性规定部分
Study the following photos carefully and write an essay of 160~200 words in which you should
1. describe the photos briefly,
2. interpret the social phenomenon reflected by them, and
3. give your point of view.
You should write 160-200 words neatly on ANSWER SHEET 2. (20 points)
You should write neatly on ANSWER SHEET 2. (20 points)
本部分规定的内容每年都差不多。对于此部分，考生们只需在审题时关注一个内容即可，即题目所给出的作文写作提纲。
1. describe the photos briefly,
2. interpret the social phenomenon reflected by them,
3. give your point of view
显然，题目要求作文要包括三个内容：描述图画，阐释寓意，给出评论。这也就是图画作文的文章结构，分为三段话，每段话完成一个题目要求。
2. 图画部分
本题中的图画属于照片类型，这是考研英语(一)的短文写作较少采用的图画类型，但是也反映了一定的社会热点话题。图画中汉字和图画相结合，减小了看图的难度。汉字为：把崇拜写在脸上;花300元做个“小贝头”。图画方面，题目给出了两幅图画。第一幅图画中，一个年轻人在自己的脸上写上了贝克汉姆的英文名字;第二幅图画中，另一个人在理发店正花300元做个贝克汉姆的发型。结合汉字和图画，可得出寓意为：盲目追星。属于一个存在已久的社会问题。对于这一题目，写作时需分为三段话，接下来就写作思路进行具体解析：
(1)描述图画
对于描述图画而言，考生们在写作时往往会出现两个极端状况：觉得描图不重要，随随便便写一点图画的内容;或者，觉得特别重要，而担心遗漏图画的内容，以至于“眉毛胡子一把抓”。对于本题，主要任务就是能通过描述图画来显示出寓意，所以要描述重点细节，也就是与寓意相关的图画细节。本题中，两幅图虽然具体内容不大一样，但是表示的寓意却是相同的，因此，写作时，需描述这两幅图都能够反映盲目追星这一寓意的细节内容。具体语言详见参考范文。
(2)阐释寓意
本段中，考生的主要问题在于没有明确的写作思路，以致乱写一通，凑凑字数，而显得非常空洞，没什么意义。因此，对于寓意阐释段，大家务必要找到其写作角度，从而“柳暗花明又一村”，打开写作思路。本题中，可分析青少年盲目追星这一社会问题产生的原因。此外，还须注意写作的段落结构以及组织连贯性，具体内容上最好分条陈述。具体语言详见参考范文。
(3)给出评论
本段内容比较简单，就是针对第二段中分析的这一社会问题提出相应的解决建议，比如政府、社会、媒体、个人等应该如何帮助解决这一问题。具体语言详见参考范文。
【参考范文】
Here are two pictures, both interesting and with similar implication. As is vividly depicted in the first photo, a young man writes the name of Beckham on his face, which successfully captures our eyes. In the same way, the second picture describes that another teenager is spending 300 Yuan doing Beckham’s fashionable hairstyle in a barbershop, finally completing the comparison of the two pictures. Apparently, what the two drawings have subtly conveyed by their analogy is supposed to be given further analysis.
What might account for this problem? For my part, the following two are of utmost importance. To begin with, it is universally admitted that the general public have failed to realize the harmfulness of blind idolatry and a big part of their attention has been distracted by the so-called “great events”. So long as you regard this analysis reasonable, I may go further. Another special consideration in this case is that our education tends to stress test-taking and mechanical learning, over the ability to confront realistic problems, including how to worship stars rationally. No other case can better illustrate the fallout of what I have discussed than the picture above.
On the basis of the analysis above, it is advisable for us to take steps to reverse this evil trend. Of all the steps, to appeal to mass media may be the most effective one. Only in this way can we resolve this problem and embrace a brighter future.
