Accordingly，it is imperative for us to take drastic measures．For one thing，we should appeal to the authorities to make strict laws to control urbanization．For another，we should enhance people's awareness that sustainable development is extremely vital to us.

人类历史被认为是人类从乡村迁移到城市的过程，因此城市化被视为人类文明的象征。然而，如图所示，在我们享受城市生活的便利的同时，我们也不得不承受城市化带来的很多问题。环境污染是其中最严重的问题之一。
首先，城市人口激增破坏了我们的自然环境。日益增长的城市人口制造了堆积如山的生活垃圾，严重破坏了生态系统。一个恰当的例子就是倾倒在郊区的垃圾山。即使人们填埋或焚烧垃圾，也可能会导致土壤或空气污染。此外，成百上千吨的工业废水夜以继日地污染着城市河流。人们享受在河里游泳、岸上垂钓的日子已经一去不返了。有时更糟的是，化工厂倾倒的未经处理的废水直接污染了城市供水。饮用水已成为稀缺资源，人们不得不饮用多少有些污染的水源。后果之一就是很多新型疾病的出现以及越来越多的癌症病例。
因此，我们的当务之急是采取严厉的措施。一方面，我们应该呼吁政府制定严格的法律来控制城市化。另一方面，我们应该提高人们的意识：可持续发展对于我们至关重要。

The increasing pressure of hunting for jobs has brought a great number of university graduates to attend civil servant examinations．Of course，only a few of them can ultimately achieve their goals．As is portrayed in the cartoon，a good many people are scrambling for a golden bowl on which is written “Civil Servant”.
In my opinion，this craze is for a lot of reasons，which have the following aspects．First of all，the expansion in college enrollment and the irrational arrangement of courses and majors have made it increasingly difficult for students to find jobs．Thus，the pressure for university graduates to find a satisfactory job has become much more serious than ever before．In addition，government posts are relatively stable，with good income and welfare benefits．The workload is modest compared with many other positions，and many troublesome problems，such as accommodation and medical care can also be solved with some favorable policies．These advantages are so appealing that few are willing to abandon these opportunities.
In conclusion，the craze of university graduates for government posts is caused by a combination of multiple factors．It must be pointed out that sometimes it is not worth getting such a post at the cost of one's specialties or even academic life．My advice is that more measures should be taken to guarantee the benefits of posts other than government ones，so that the gap between civil servants and other employees can be lessened．This is the best way to diminish the craze.

不断增长的就业压力使得很多大学毕业生参加公务员考试。当然，只有少数几个人最终能实现目标。如图所示，很多人正在争抢一只写着“公务员”的金饭碗。
在我看来，这一热潮出于多种原因，可以归结为以下几个方面。首先，大学扩招以及不合理的课程与专业设置使得大学生就业越来越难。因此，对于大学毕业生而言，找到满意工作的压力前所未有。其次，政府职位相对轻松，工资和福利较好，和其他很多职业比起来工作量适中，而且一些有利的政策可以解决诸如住房和医疗等很多棘手的问题。这些优势如此吸引人，以至于很少有人愿意放弃这一机会。
总之，大学毕业生考公务员热是由很多原因综合引起的。必须要指出的是，有时候并不值得以个人专业甚至学术生涯为代价来获得这样的职位。我的建议是，我们应该采取更多措施确保政府之外职位的各项福利，以便缩小公务员与其他企业员工之间的差距。这是给公务员热降温的最好方法。

If given the choice，a great many people would change at least one aspect of their appearance．As is depicted in the drawing，a young lady is requesting a doctor to give her a straighter nose，bigger lips，bigger eyes，and so on．These changes fall into the category of plastic surgery—the branch of surgery dealing with therapeutic or cosmetic reformation of body parts—which has gained tremendous popularity in recent decades.
Firstly，one's appearance is his or her parents' blessing，and has been one part of his or her body．After breast enlargement surgery，many women look sexier than before．However，many of them are later diagnosed with mammary gland diseases．An even more serious effect is that they risk being unable to breast-feed．Secondly，advocating for such a practice will mislead people in their judgment of beauty．The concept of beauty is quite rich in its content．It should include many virtues like honesty，diligence，and so on，which should be the real mainstays of our spiritual life. The practice and the debates about man-made beauty will confuse those who are to develop a correct concept of beauty.
Considering the above possible harms the practice may bring about，I am strongly against it and advocate seeking true and natural beauty．Besides，people，especially women，should put more attention on the cultivation of their inner hearts．Inner beauty outweighs outer beauty in the long run.

如果可以选择的话，很多人至少想要改变他们相貌的一个方面。如图所示，一位年轻的女士正在请求一位医生给她更笔挺的鼻子、更丰盈的嘴唇、更大的眼睛等等。这些改变都属于整形手术的范畴，整形手术是外科手术的一个分支，主要对人体器官进行治疗性或美容性的修正。最近几十年来，整形手术很受欢迎。
首先，人的外表是父母的赐予，也是他们身体的一部分。在丰胸手术之后，很多女性看起来比以前更加性感。然而，她们中的很多人随后会被诊断出乳腺疾病。更严重的后果是，她们面临着无法哺乳的风险。其次，提倡整容这种行为将误导人们对美的判断。美这一概念的内涵很丰富。它应该包括许多诸如诚实、勤奋等类似的美德，而这些美德才应该是我们精神生活中真正的支柱。整容的行为以及关于人造美的种种辩论将会误导一些人，使他们无法形成正确的审美观念。
考虑到这种行为可能带来的上述危害，我强烈反对整容，并提倡追求真实自然的美。此外，人们（尤其是女性）应该更加重视修养内在的心灵。从长远来看，内在美要胜过外在美。

As is revealed in the caricature，a young man in a T-shirt is surfing online in front of a computer．On the screen of the computer，we can see the young man saying provocative words，dirty words and rumors in a chat room．The caption indicates that “I'll give him something more powerful！”
Throughout most of China's long history，the relationships among people were based on carefully prescribed norms of behavior，that is，etiquette．Those who do not follow the prescribed rules of conduct are regarded as uncivilized barbarians．As for me，traditional Chinese etiquette should be taught in schools．Firstly，if young people can receive a systematic education on traditional etiquette in class，they can get more prepared for the future．Otherwise，they can only form right behaviors after breaking the rules and being corrected through costly consequences．Secondly，as these meticulous rules of conduct have been formed throughout Chinese history，they are unique Chinese characteristics and are inseparable from Chinese culture．To some extent，the course can serve to arouse young people's cultural pride.
In conclusion，traditional Chinese etiquette will not only make young people more prepared for their future，but also constitute an important measure for young people to form Chinese cultural identity and therefore to preserve Chinese tradition and further develop it.
参考译文
如图所示，一个穿着 T恤的年轻人正在一台电脑前上网。在电脑屏幕上，我们可以看到这个年轻人正在一个聊天室里发布挑衅、脏话和谣言。文字说明显示：“给他来点儿厉害的！”
在中国的历史长河中，大多数情况下的人际关系都建立在被仔细规定好的行为模式——礼仪之上。不遵守那些既定行为准则的人被认为是不文明的野蛮人。在我看来，学校应该在课堂上讲授传统的中华礼仪。首先，如果年轻人能够在课堂上接受系统的传统礼仪教育，他们就能为未来做好更充分的准备。否则，他们只有在违反准则并以高昂的代价被纠正之后，才能养成正确的行为。其次，由于这些精细的行为准则是在中国历史中形成的，因此它们有着独特的中国特征并与中华文化密不可分。在某种程度上，这种礼仪课程能够唤起年轻人的文化自豪感。
总之，中国的传统礼仪不仅能使年轻人为未来做好更充分的准备，也是帮助年轻人形成本国文化认同感，从而保护并弘扬中华文化的重要途径。

The cartoons vividly depict the relationship between wealth and happiness．In the first picture，a graduate is standing on the top of a hill captioned “high salary”．In the second drawing，a magnate is imprisoned by a diamond crown．The caption reads，“Wealth is not equal to happiness.”
There is no doubt that wealth brings happiness，especially in modern society．Various kinds of up-to-date household appliances，fashions and recreations make their appearance with each passing day．However，wealth can also lead to disasters if we have an inappropriate approach to it．Wealth may tempt weak-willed persons to become addicted to harmful habits，such as drug use and gambling，and result in their ruin.
From my point of view，one should never rely only on wealth to achieve happiness．because a person may lose his mind and go astray if he only intends to seek wealth and indulges himself in leading a luxurious life．For example，there are some government officials who take advantage of their positions to take bribes from the people turning to them for help．Hence，on no account can we equate happiness with wealth.
参考译文
这些漫画生动地描绘了财富和快乐的关系。图一中，一个毕业生站在一座名为“高薪”的小山顶上。图二中，一个富豪被囚禁在钻石皇冠之中，文字说明显示：“财富不等于快乐。”
毫无疑问，财富能带来快乐，尤其是在现代社会。各种各样的新式家用电器，最新的时尚和娱乐与日俱增。然而，如果我们采取不恰当的手段获得财富，财富也能带来灾难。财富可能诱惑意志薄弱的人迷上有害的习惯，例如吸毒和赌博，并且导致毁灭。
在我看来，人不能只是依赖财富来获得快乐。因为一个人如果只想寻求财富，并沉迷于过度奢华的生活，就会失去理智，误入歧途。例如，有一些政府官员利用职权，向有求于他们的人索取贿赂。因此，我们决不能把快乐等同于财富。

The caricature symbolically depicts a pupil carrying a schoolbag which looks so huge that it seems impossible for him to stand up．Imagining that his mother is sitting on the bag and urging him to get full marks，the poor boy wishes he could have a pair of invisible wings to fly freely in the blue sky．Below the drawing，there is a caption which reads： Stress.
For the majority of people，stress is a fact of life．As in the illustration，school time can be a period of constant pressure for students．Stress from upcoming examinations and endless assignments can take a toll not only on young people's health，but on their academic performance as well．College students，who have to juggle academic work，romantic relationships and a busy social calendar，are particularly susceptible to pressure.
In my opinion，by maintaining a healthy lifestyle and keeping organized，people can successfully manage and reduce stress．To begin with，a healthy lifestyle，which means adequate sleep，sufficient exercise and a balanced diet，is the most fundamental way to mitigate stress．In addition，people need some relaxation，such as watching movies，listening to music，reading a magazine，or chatting with friends，in a bid to release their stress.

这幅漫画生动地描绘了一个小学生背着一个看起来硕大无比的书包，以至于他似乎无法站立起来。想到母亲正坐在书包上督促他考取满分，这个可怜的男孩便梦想拥有一双隐形的翅膀，能在蓝天上自由地翱翔。在漫画下方，小标题写道：“压力”。
对大多数人而言，压力是生活的现实。如图所示，学生时代对学生而言有着各种各样的压力。即将来临的考试和无穷无尽的作业不但对年轻人的健康造成恶劣影响，也影响了他们的学业成绩。大学生尤其易受到压力的影响，因为他们需要同时应对学业负担、恋爱关系、繁忙的社会活动。
在我看来，通过保持健康的生活方式、合理安排日程等，人们可以成功地管理好并减少压力。首先，健康的生活方式，即充足的睡眠、适量的运动和合理的膳食，是缓解压力的根本之道。其次，人们需要一些娱乐消遣活动来缓解压力，如看电影、听音乐、读杂志或与朋友聊天等。

The pictures vividly reveal that heavy traffic is becoming increasingly serious all over the world．In the first picture，there is traffic congestion on the road，with numerous cars，trucks and buses．In the second picture，hundreds of people are waiting for a train.
We can deduce from the pictures that the photographer is trying to attract our attention to the issue of heavy traffic．First of all，every year men and women crowd into cities in search of employment，a decent living，and the excitement and stimulation of urban life．As people flood into cities in mounting numbers，city services and facilities have been strained to a breaking point．In addition，in a city with booming industry，land is precious and cannot be extravagantly used by traffic．Traffic flows constantly rise to fill whatever scale of roads and highways are provided for them.
It is imperative for us to improve this situation．For one thing，the number of private cars should be limited，while more bus routes should be opened up because buses can accommodate more passengers．For another，more streets and roads should be constructed．Since neither of the suggestions alone can effectively solve the problem，there is an increasing awareness that the two solutions may be combined with other possible solutions to produce the best effect.

这些照片生动地揭示了交通拥堵正在全世界变得日益严重。图一中，道路上交通堵塞，有无数轿车、卡车和公交车。图二中，成百上千的人正在等火车。
我们可以从这些图片中看出，摄影师正在努力吸引我们关注交通拥堵问题。首先，每年人们涌进城市寻求就业机会、体面的生活以及都市生活的激动与刺激。由于越来越多的人涌进城市，城市服务与设施的承受能力已经到达临界点。此外，在工业迅速发展的城市中土地非常珍贵，不能被交通过度挤占。无论公路和高速路修建到何种规模，车流总是不断地增加，直至挤满道路。
我们迫切需要改善这种状况。首先，由于公交可以运载更多乘客，我们应该限制私家车的数量，开辟更多公交线路。其次，我们应该建设更多道路。由于这两个措施都不能单独有效地解决这个问题，人们越来越意识到为了达到最佳效果，我们可以把这两个措施和其他可能的措施结合起来。

As is revealed in the cartoon，an aged lady is using a magnifying glass to examine a so-called honest dealer who is selling counterfeit branded leather shoes．The dealer asks the customer rudely，“What are you looking for？” The latter answers patiently，“I'm looking for honesty.”
In contrast with the negative consequences of lying and deception，practicing honesty is always in our best interests．First of all，one negative repercussion of dishonesty is that it can become a huge drain on one's time and energy．Those who get trapped in weaving a web of lies will soon find that they have little time or energy for anything else．Apart from depleting our time and energy，being dishonest can also have a serious influence on our mental health. Those who falsify their resumes in order to obtain employment，for example，may worry constantly about the possibility of losing their jobs if the boss were to detect the truth.
On the whole，while it may be impossible to eliminate all the deceit that exists around us，each of us can practice truthfulness ourselves．Considering the adverse effects that lying can produce，it is apparent that honesty is our only viable option.
参考译文
如图所示，一位上了年纪的女士正在拿着放大镜仔细端详一个所谓的“诚信”商家，而后者正在出售假冒的名牌皮鞋。店主无礼地问这位顾客：“看什么？”后者则耐心地答道：“我在找诚信。”
与撒谎和欺骗的不良影响相比，践行诚信总是符合我们的最佳利益。首先，不诚信的一个负面影响是它会消耗我们大量的时间和精力。那些忙于编造谎言的人会发现他们没有时间和精力去做其他任何事情。除了消耗时间和精力外，不诚信也会给我们的心理健康带来严重影响。例如，那些为了获得一份工作而伪造简历的人，可能会时常担心老板发现真相后自己就得失业。
总体而言，虽然我们身边的欺诈行为不可能完全被消除，但我们自己可以践行诚信。考虑到撒谎会带来的不良影响，很明显，诚信才是我们唯一可行的选择。

Most people today are aware of the environmental challenges facing our planet．Young people understand that cutting down on energy use and decreasing waste are necessary steps towards curbing climate change and preventing energy shortages．As is shown in the cartoon，two people in suits are strutting away from a dinner table which is full of all kinds of leftovers such as chicken，pork，fish，lobster，and so on．The caption reads that “200billion RMB are wasted every year.”
For environmentally-conscious students seeking to make a positive difference on their own college campuses，the simplest and best approach is to follow the “Three Rs” principle：reduce，reuse and recycle．The first “R” stands for “reduce”．Students can reduce waste and limit their energy usage on campus in many ways．For instance，electricity usage can be limited by turning off computers before going to sleep and remembering to turn off the lights before leaving a room．The second of the three Rs is “reuse”．Many products commonly used on college campuses，such as knives，spoons and chopsticks，are available in both single-use and reusable forms．Whenever possible，students should choose reusable products over disposable ones．The third “R” stands for “recycle”．With recycling bins placed in various locations across many campuses，it is easier than ever before for students to recycle.
High waste levels contribute to energy depletion and environmental degradation．We should all do our part to respond to the environmental challenges that we face as a planet．For college students，following the “Three Rs” is a simple but effective way to cut down on waste and help to make the world a greener place.
