In the picture above,a man is talking on his phone loudly in a public place,being deliberately ignorant of other people's aversion to him within the same enclosed area.This illustration tries to point out the public cell phone behavior Public places,such as libraries,hospitals,galleries and theaters,are usually expected to be quiet and peaceful ne uses of mobile phones in such places are likely to disrupt the desirable working environment For instance.in a library,where people are pondering over the books,the constant mobile ringtones or the phone conversation will be intru-sive or irritating.Mobile phone usage in public places like hospitals can easily interfere with the medical equipment which can be harmful to the patient.Moreover,the environment at shopping malls,stores and other public places is very noisy and talking over cell phones will add extra decibel.Apart from that,using mobile phones in music galleries or theaters can result in others'discomfort and spoil their entertainment In my opinion,cell phones should be allowed in public places with some restrictions.What's more,in public places,quiet zones where phone use is banned should be set up.

In the picture above,in an unattended bookstore where there is no cashier and no staff,a customer is paying for the book he has chosen of his own free will.Such a bookstore is basically based on the customers'integrity.This illustration reveals the importance of integrity in todays society.cheif ieav-os onion,toona when no one is around There are many reasons why integrity is important Integrity means doing the right thing even when no one is around in our lives.First,living a life of integrity means that we never have to spend time or energy questioning ourselves.When we listen to our hearts and do the right thing,life becomes simple.Our actions are open to others,and we don't have to worry about hiding anything.What's more,when we have integrity,we gain the trust of others.We're dependable,and we become role models for others to follow when we hold ourselves accountable for our actions In our lives,we are going to be tested at one point or another by our integrity and ethics.Every time we do what we think is the right thing even though no one else sees us do it,we have taken a big step toward strengthening our integrity

On Media Violence According to the picture above,a boy is imitating what he has seen on a television program,taking a knife on one hand,and a stick with another,saying"kill them all!"What this illustration tries to reveal is the devastating effects of electronic media violent program on young people Everything that children see or hear in the media early on in their lives affects them in nowadays,it's virtually impossible to keep kids in a violence-free bubble.Over sixty percent of television shows being shown in prime time contain some form of violence.Current research shows that violent media is associated with aggressive behavior.Children who view media violence are more likely to have more feelings of hostility and less remorse for consequences Violent situations are all too common in everyday entertainment and there are far fewer non-violent programming choices.Therefore,parents should monitor and be more attentive to their children.They need to pay more attention to their childrens lives and not let them sit in front of the television,whether it is for movies,video games,or general television shows

The line graph shows audience rating at different time.From the graph,it can be seen clearly that the number of TV audiences is on the rise from 6 a.m.At noon the number of audiences accounts for about 20%of the total population.At 6 p.m.,audience balloons to the peak of the day,reaching approximately 59%,and then the number ofTV audiences drops dramatically.There are several reasons leading to the trend of the audience rating.In the first place,traditional Chinese families would like to get together after dinner,watching news report or other entertainment programmes,therefore 6 p.m.witnesses the highest point of the whole day.Second,the drop of audience rating after 6 p.m.is partly due to the prevalence of Internet.There is a trend that more people resort to virtual space and computer games for entertainment at night.Third,since working people and students are occupied by theirjob sand study at daytime,only retired people and housewives are potential audience.Therefore,audience rating is in accordance with people's pace oflife.Internet has impacted TV audience to some extent.

The pie chart above evidently ilustrates various target elements in terms of consumers'choosing restaurants in a certain city in 2017.To be specific.distinguishing feature took a lion's share,accounting for approximately 36.3%.While service and surr

This table ilustrates the difference of degree of satisfaction among employees at different ages in some company.In general,the overall trend of the degree of satisfaction is different with the variation of ages.Of those who feel satisfactory about their jobs,those beyond 50 years old take up the majority,accounting for 40%,followed by those who are no more than 40 years old,which take up 16.7%.Those between 41 to 50 years old have the lowest satisfactory rate,merely0.0%.Of those who feel dissatisfactory about their jobs,those between 41 to 50 years old take up the majority,accounting for 64.0%,followed by those less than 40 years old,which take up 33.3%.Those who beyond 50years old enjoy the lowest dissatisfactory rate,taking up only 10%.Besides,there are still 50.0%of less than 40 years old employees,36.0%of those between 41 to 50 years old and 50.0%of over 50 years old employees remaining uncertain about the degree of satisfaction.The contributory factors to this result can mainly divide into three parts.Firstly,those less than 40 years old are ambitious,impractical and eager to find their places in work.With those characteristics,they often get upset find their places in work.With those characteristics,they often get upset when they fail to fulfill their goals.Secondly,those between 41 to 50 years old employees,confronted with challenges posed by their young colleagues,often face a great deal of working competition and pressure.Lastly,with their impending retirement,those beyond 50 years old face relatively small working pressure and feel satisfactory about their jobs.From this table,we can make a conclusion that if the companies want to raise the degree of satisfaction of its employees,it should make more efforts to improve the working environment,ameliorate the welfare and establish the effective incentive mechanism.

一、审题谋篇2014年的大作文从总体上来看不难，因为它考查到了现在的一个社会热点。而且从十年的考研真题来讲，2005年的大作文考查到的是赡养老人的问题，当年的图画是可怜的老父亲缩成了一只皮球，四个儿女守着四个球门，老人被儿女们踢来踢去。当年的描述图画部分比较难表达，而今年图画描述部分相比起来就容易得多。写作框架仍然采取标准三段式来写。第一段图画描述段的写作内容主要是描述图画，需包括两点：三十年前是个什么样子，现在是什么样子。三十年前“我”还是个孩子，母亲大手拉小手陪伴着我成长；现在，母亲上年纪了，我陪伴在母亲的身旁。图的重心应该是在右边一幅，突出的是子女长大后要关爱、感恩父母。第二段是图画内涵阐释段。首先用一句话阐释图片内涵，然后用事实对该内涵进行阐释。可正面举例说明社会存在这样良好的风尚，也可以从反面说明当前社会中人们忽视了对父母的关爱和回报。第三段评论段的写作内容为给出自己的评论和建议。可以指出年轻人应该把尊重和照顾年迈的父母视为一种道义责任。也可以从细节出发，年轻人在生活中如何做到孝顺父母。只有这样，我们的家庭才能和睦，社会才能更加和谐!二、参考范文As can been seen,love between a mother and a daughter is reflected by the drawing:in the left one,a young and amiable mother is holding one hand of her little daughter,while in the right photo,when the mother is aged,her daughter,who has grown up,is supporting her,just as the mother did thirty years ago.Just as the caption below summarizes,the implication conveyed in the picture is self-evident:we need to show our concern and love to our parents.However,most of us fail to do this job.As our pace of life gallops along,increasingly our society is seeing a decline in traditional moral values.It is revealed in the fact that we always put back filial piety.As young men now deem the career as the priority,they often choose to migrate with their jobs,and work around the clock,leaving parents in empty-nests.Besides,many people are used to substituting their care for parents with money or gifts.While it is beyond dispute that material support can improve our parents’living standards,what these aged people need most is company and love from us,such as a simple call,a short time at home.It is easy to draw this conclusion that,to our parents,nothing can be better than the filial piety from children.Whenever possible,we should gather around the table for a“reunion dinner”with our parents;whether busy or not,we need to give our parents a call and tell them we are fine.Only with our full awareness of caring our parents with gratitude can our parents lead a really happy life.三、万能句型1.As can been seen,…is reflected by the drawing:….2.Just as the caption below summarizes,the implication conveyed in the picture is self-evident:….3.As our pace of life gallops along,increasingly our society is seeing….4.It is revealed in the fact that….5.While it is beyond dispute that…,….6.It is easy to draw this conclusion that….7.Only with our full awareness of…can….

Portrayed in the two cartoons is a thought-provoking scenario:In the left one,a young man,comfortably lounging on the chair,is looking at his huge bookshelf full of books contentedly,while the other,in the right drawing,is determined to finish reading 20 books in a year.By this scenario,the cartoonist is trying to awaken us to the importance of reading and sticking to our goals.It is universally held that with the advance of modern society,only those equipped with updated knowledge are most likely to reach the summit of their success,which can only be achieved through constant reading.Nevertheless,without actions,our objectives are bound to be a fantasy.Indeed,people fail always because they stop trying,not because they encounter invincible difficulties.From what has been mentioned above,we may reasonably arrive at the conclusion that only those who keep learning and cherish the spirit of persistence have opportunities to succeed.Action always speaks louder than words.If you understand and adhere to this principle in your study and work,you will definitely benefit greatly.

The picture shows us a cultural hotpot,in which contain the“food”from both the domestic and the abroad,from both the ancient and the modern period.At the bottom of the hotpot,a line of words appears,saying,“cultural hotpot—both delicious and nutritious.This picture was used to indicate that culture fusion benefit us a lot.
Nowadays,we are living in a world where one is cross-connected with others highly.That is to say,the development of our nation needs information from all around the world.As an ancient nation with splendid civilization,we also need to learn from westerners while enhancing and glorifying our traditional culture.In the same manner,those foreigners who are interested in our nation will get valuable hints for their nation’s development.Knowing more about the global culture will help people from different countries understand each other better and live with each other peacefully.Only with understanding,the global issues and disputes can be settled in a satisfying way.Just imagine that how horrible it is if each country isolates from others and resists the foreign information.
Of course,advocating culture fusion does not equal to accepting the foreign culture wholly without considering its bad influence.We must admit that each culture has its merits and dregs,which need us to treat them dialectically.

The pie chart given above reflects the public's attitude towards food safety.According to the figures,44.7%of the people take neutral attitude towards food safety,ranking first.The percentage of consumers being a little worried about food safety ranks the third among all.making up t 5.8%.There is no denying that food safety is related to people's health and basic livelihood.However,many producers tend to adopt poor-quality raw materials to lower costs,resulting in poor-quality products prevailing in our society,which not only poses threats to people's health,bul also wreaks havoc（破坏）on the economic development and social stability.Particularly,when the authorities concerned fail to give direct control and supervision,these profit-driven companies are unlikely to shoulder social responsibility.To conclude,such a trend will probably develop more dramatically in the future.Therefore,it is advised that administrators and the authorities should keep taking measures to reverse such trend,and it is only by consistent and persistent efforts that they can ultimately eliminate the misdeeds.

This bar chart shows the market shares of three different types of brandcars in domestic automobile market between 2008 and 2009.In 2008,Japanese brands cars took the lead in the automobile market,accounting for 35%,followed by Chinese brand cars,with 25%marketshares.American brand cars fell behind,with mere 12%market shares.In2009,Chinese brand cars saw a mild increase in their market shares,whichcame to 33%,while Japanese brand cars lost a lots of their market shares,taking up only 25%.American brand cars stayed almost the same position,occupying 13%market shares.It could be concluded that more and more people choose to buy Chinesecars instead of buying the foreign brands cars.In the past,Japanese carsdominated the Chinese car market because of the comparably low priceand low oil consumption.While,as our Chinese car industry has grown tobe maturer and maturer.We could also produce cars with highperformance,low price,and beautiful look.However,it cannot beneglected that the gap is not so obvious and if Chinese brand automakerswant to make a big difference,they have to make more efforts.

The bar chart shows the general trend of university students whotake parttime jobs at different stages during their college life.Seeing from the chart,more than half of the college students,about 66.77%take a parttime job at their first year.And the proportion increases slightly year by year,til the last year,the proportion reaches the maximal number,surging to 88.24%.There are basically three reasons behind this trend.To begin with,most students are eager to take a parttime job in the purpose of earning some money,which can ease their parents'burden.Besides,they can acquire more experience before officially entering the society.And with more experience,they can easily get a job compared to those who do not have any experience.Finally,they can not only turn what they have learnt into the application,but also learn more which they cannot obtain from their books.In my view,getting a parttime job is a good practice.However,the major task of students is still the study.They should make a balance between their academic life and their working life.
