如今大多数人都意识到了我们的地球所面临的环境挑战。年轻人都理解节约能源和减少浪费是遏制气候变化、预防能源短缺的必然途径。正如图中所示，两个穿着西装的人正大摇大摆地离开一个满是鸡肉、猪肉、鱼、龙虾等各种剩余食物的餐桌。文字说明显示：“每年浪费达两千亿元”。
对于有着环保意识、追求在大学校园里产生积极影响的同学们而言，最简单、最有效的方式就是遵循3R原则：减少浪费（reduce）、再利用（reuse）和回收（recycle）。第一个R代表了“减少浪费”。同学们能够在校园里以很多方式减少浪费并限制能源使用。例如，通过睡前关闭电脑和记得离开房间之前关灯可以限制用电。第二个R是“再利用”。很多大学校园里普遍使用的产品（例如刀子、勺子和筷子）都是既有一次性的，也有可重复使用的。无论何时，同学们都应该选择可再利用的产品，而非一次性产品。第三个R代表了“回收”。由于很多校园各处都有垃圾回收箱，同学们的物品回收变得前所未有的便捷。
高度浪费导致了能源消耗以及环境恶化。我们应该竭尽全力来应对我们这个星球所面临的环境挑战。对大学生而言，遵循3R原则是减少浪费、使世界更环保的一种简单而有效的方式。

It is shown in the drawing that a young man wearing a mask is staring at the huge characters “PM 2.5” in the polluted sky．In this flourishing and prosperous metropolis，whose streets are filled with a great many cars，air pollution is extremely serious．Below the portrayal，there is a caption which reads： “Air Quality.”
Motor vehicle exhaust is the primary cause for the notoriously poor air quality for cities like Beijing，Jakarta and Delhi．Today，whether in Bangkok，Beijing or Berlin，the roads of the world's most populous urban areas are flooded with more motor vehicles than at any other time in history．For instance，there are now more than five million cars in Beijing，with over 1,000new cars being registered every day．Shanghai，Guangzhou and other big Chinese cities，all home to over three million automobiles，have also witnessed strong growth in vehicle sales．Due to the poorer quality of air in large cities，the rates of asthma and other lung-related ailments are considerably higher than in rural areas.
In my view，restrictions on vehicle driving are not only justified but，indeed，can be extremely beneficial for densely populated cities in China and elsewhere．To begin with，imposing such measures in major cities can help alleviate air pollution and thus promote a cleaner environment．What is more，improved weather conditions and more blue-sky days can help boost urban populations' general health as well as psychological well-being.

如图所示，一个戴着口罩的年轻人正凝视着被污染的天空中的几个巨大字母：PM 2.5。在机动车数量庞大的繁华大都市中，空气污染极其严重。漫画下方的小标题写着：“空气质量”。
汽车尾气是北京、雅加达和德里等城市空气质量差的主要原因。今天，无论在曼谷、北京还是柏林，这些世界上人口最稠密的城市的道路上都挤满了机动车，其数量比历史上任何时候都要多。例如，目前北京的机动车数量超过了五百万，且每天新增一千多辆。上海、广州和中国其他大城市，机动车保有量都超过三百万辆，它们同样见证了汽车销量的强劲增长。由于空气质量差，大城市中哮喘和其他肺部疾病的发病率比农村地区要高出许多。
在我看来，机动车限行的政策不仅是合乎情理的，而且也确实对中国和世界上其他人口稠密的城市极其有利。首先，在大城市执行此类政策有助于减轻空气污染，并有助于营造更加清洁的环境。其次，有所改善的天气条件以及更多的蓝天日也有助提升城市人口的整体健康以及幸福感。

As is symbolically illustrated in the picture，a lovely baby is sleeping comfortably on the beautiful earth with a little bird singing around him．Meanwhile，a huge umbrella shelters the baby and the earth from the threatening outside world．The caption indicates that we should advocate for a low-carbon economy and cherish the earth.
The painter aims at reminding us of the relationship between a low-carbon economy and environmental protection．In the first place，a low-carbon economy is crucial to sustainable economic development．Economic expansion causes irreparable damage to our environment．The fragile ecological environment，insufficient environmental capacity and shortages of resources are becoming critical problems hindering the world's development．If we want to achieve sustainable development，environmental protection should be integrated into our economic endeavors. A low-carbon economy will have a direct impact on the overall situation of the world's modernization drive and its long-term development．In the second place，environmental protection is in line with traditional Chinese culture．One of the core principles of traditional Chinese culture is to maintain harmony between man and nature．Many philosophies including Confucianism，Taoism and Buddhism have emphasized the significance of a balanced environment．As an old Chinese saying goes，“Forefathers plant trees so future generations can enjoy the shade.” Therefore，protecting our environment and preserving a healthy environment for future generations goes hand in hand with Chinese culture.
In conclusion，a low-carbon economy is indispensable for sustainable development．Haunted by various environmental problems，we should put the low-carbon economy at the core of our economic development plans and solve wide-ranging environmental problems before they evolve into environmental crisis.

这幅象征性的图画显示，一个可爱的婴儿正舒适地睡在美丽的地球上，一只小鸟在他身旁歌唱。与此同时，一顶巨大的伞保护婴儿和地球免受可怕的外部世界的侵害。文字说明显示：“倡导低碳，呵护地球。”
画家旨在提醒我们低碳经济与环境保护之间的关系。首先，低碳经济对经济的可持续发展至关重要。经济的发展给我们的环境带来了无法弥补的损失。脆弱的生态环境、环境的承受能力不堪重负和资源短缺现在成为阻碍世界发展的至关重要的因素。如果我们想实现可持续发展，就必须将保护环境与为经济发展所做出的努力紧密结合起来。低碳经济将对世界的现代化进程和长期发展产生直接影响。其次，保护环境应该与中国传统文化保持一致。中国传统文化的一个核心原则是维护人类和大自然的和谐统一。很多哲学，包括儒家、道家和佛家思想都强调和谐环境的重要性。中国有句古话：“前人栽树，后人乘凉。”因此，为后代保护并维系一个健康的环境与中国传统文化是一脉相承的。
总之，低碳经济对可持续发展来说是必不可少的。由于被各种各样的环境问题所困扰，我们应该把低碳经济放在经济发展计划的核心位置，在各种各样的环境问题演变为环境危机之前将其解决。

It is symbolically depicted in the picture that a beautiful earth is in the universe．Unfortunately，there is a huge chimney in front of the earth，and gases in the shape of a horrible skeleton are rising from the chimney．Below the picture，there is a caption which says：“Environmental Degradation.”
State leaders around the world have acknowledged and accepted that we are likely to face global environmental degradation over the next few decades．People's activities have exerted great pressure on the environment we are living in：the air is polluted，the ecological system is disturbed，and natural resources have been excessively used，especially in emerging economies like China and India．I believe governments can implement a number of practices to ease impending environmental degradation．These include the promotion of environmental-friendly practices，restrictions on energy use，and the provision of incentives for alternative energy.
It would be impossible to solve the environmental problem overnight，and unfortunately，it is likely to worsen before it begins to improve．Overcoming the environmental degradation will be a difficult task，and one that will require not only the efforts of each government，but also the participation of every sector of society．Those countries that realize the grave seriousness of environmental degradation and work to alleviate it will reap the benefits for their economies，environments and people.
参考译文
如图所示，一颗美丽的地球位于宇宙之中。不幸的是，地球前面有一个巨大的烟囱，一团可怕的骷髅状气体正从烟囱中升起。图画下面的标题显示：“环境恶化”。
世界各地的政府领导人普遍公认我们在未来几十年可能面临全球环境恶化。尤其在中国和印度等新兴经济体，人类的活动对我们生存的环境已经产生了巨大的压力：空气被污染，生态系统被破坏，自然资源被过度开发。我认为政府可以采取很多措施来缓解迫在眉睫的环境恶化。这些措施包括提倡环保行为、限制使用能源以及鼓励使用替代性能源。
我们不可能一夜之间解决环境问题，相反，在环境开始改善之前，有可能还会恶化。制止环境恶化将是一项艰巨的任务，不仅需要各国政府的努力，也需要每个社会部门的参与。那些意识到环境恶化的严重性并努力减轻其恶化程度的国家将使他们的经济、环境和人民受益。

河南上万大学生蜂拥招聘会    浙江招聘会现场
经典范文092
As is illustrated in the pictures，thousands of students in Henan and Zhejiang Province go to two conferences to find jobs．Job hunting is a headache for college graduates.
Why do college graduates find it increasingly difficult to get jobs？The causes of this phenomenon are various．For one thing，a few years ago colleges and universities enrolled so many students in popular majors—such as economy，finance and so on—that the number of graduates is greater than the need in the market．For another，most graduates would rather stay in large cities，even without suitable jobs to do，than go to the country．According to the recent statistics by China's Ministry of Education，7 million college students graduated all over the country in 2013 and only 72％ of them are employed right after graduation.
I assume this hard nut can be cracked if both colleges and students take effective actions．First and foremost，universities should research the market and develop special skills to suit its needs．In addition，students' attitudes towards employment should be changed．Going to some small cities and the countryside，they can give full play to their professional knowledge and practical skills．Briefly speaking，if we attach more importance to doing so，the situation can be improved.

如图所示，河南和浙江省上万名大学生进入两个招聘会寻找工作。找工作对很多大学毕业生来讲已经变成了非常头疼的问题。
为什么大学生越来越难找工作？造成这一现象的原因多种多样。首先，几年前各大学院和大学录取了很多经济、金融等热门专业的学生，以至于毕业生的数量超出了市场需求。其次，大多数大学生宁愿在大城市待着，甚至没有适合的工作，也不愿去乡村。根据中国教育部的最新调查，2013年全国有700万大学生毕业，其中只有72％毕业后马上找到了工作。
我认为如果大学和学生都采取有效措施，这个难题是可以解决的。首先，大学应该调查市场来培养学生的特殊技能以适应需求。其次，学生应该转变就业观念。去小城市和乡镇，他们可以充分发挥自己的专业知识和实践技能。总而言之，如果我们更加重视这一问题，情况可以得到改善。

In the picture above there are two lovely college students．The girl on the left is wondering why the girl on the right continues to pursue a Master's degree after college education. The latter answers confidently，“With a Master's degree，there are a lot more preferable choices.”
There are a great many reasons for my decision to apply to postgraduate programs．The primary one is that I enjoy learning and acquiring knowledge．I remember that when I became a college student，my burning desire for further studies felt increasingly strong．The decision was naturally made when I realized I would not be content to simply end my educational career at the college level and enter the working world so soon．I also decided to stay on the academic assembly line because of the values of a second degree．In today's world，where the college population has grown rapidly，a Master's degree has become essential if I wish to compete for a rewarding job．It ensures me a secure future in a society in which college graduates in expanding numbers have failed to be employed.
For these reasons，I won't mind spending another three years in the ivory tower，I won't mind giving up opportunities to make money，and I won't mind sacrificing many beautiful things in this period of my life.

上述图画中有两名可爱的女大学生。左边的女生正在疑惑为何右边的女生决定大学毕业之后继续攻读硕士学位，后者则自信地回答：“考研之后，会有更多更好的选择空间。”
有很多理由使我决定攻读硕士学位。最主要的是我喜欢学习，乐于追求知识。记得我读大四时，我想继续读下去的愿望变得越来越强烈。当我意识到我不会甘心大学毕业就结束我一生的正规教育，这么早就走上社会时，决定就自然形成了。其次，我决定继续留在大学里还因为硕士学位的价值。现在大学生的人数快速增长，如果想找到一个好工作，硕士学位就变得十分必要。当越来越多的大学生找不到工作时，硕士学位却能保证我有一个稳定的未来。
正因为这些理由，我不在乎再在大学里待三年时间，不在乎放弃赚钱的机会，不在乎牺牲我这个年龄段许多美好的东西。

历史建筑该不该保留？

The cartoon shows that a tourist carrying a backpack is visiting a certain so-called historical capital．To his astonishment，instead of the characteristic historical sites and traditional Chinese architecture，it is filled with monotonous apartment complexes，visually plain office towers and megamalls lacking in artistic value．The caption reads “Should we preserve historical architecture？”
While some would argue that “holding onto the past” is costly or unnecessary，the preservation of historic architecture should be made a priority in China．Even if for no other reason，China's historic buildings should still be cherished for their rich cultural and educational value．For instance，the Forbidden City，the Temple of Heaven and the Summer Palace are all treasures of the past，which make up the Chinese people's identity and serve as a window into China's history．Another factor that merits their preservation is the aesthetic value they provide to many cities．Specifically，historic buildings tend to be elaborate and beautiful，with intricately detailed ornamentation，vibrant tones and complex yet harmonious colors.
Every time an ancient structure is demolished，a part of history is lost forever．Unfortunately，it is too late to protect the thousands of hutongs in Beijing or Shanghai's old cities．However，by making the preservation of historic architecture a high priority，there is still hope of holding on to the countless remaining treasures of Chinese history.

漫画中，一名背着背包的游客到某个所谓的古都游览。但令他惊讶的是，那里并没有独特的历史遗迹或传统中国建筑，而是充斥着单调的公寓大楼、千篇一律的办公楼和缺乏艺术欣赏价值的大型购物中心。标题写道：“历史建筑该不该保留？”
尽管有些人认为“保留过去”的成本既高昂也没有必要，然而在中国还是应该将保留历史建筑作为优先事项。哪怕只因为其深厚的文化和教育价值，我们也应该爱护古建筑。例如，故宫、天坛和颐和园都是过去留下的财富，是中国人身份的一部分，也是了解中国历史的一扇窗。历史建筑值得保留的另一个原因是，对许多城市而言，它们都极具审美价值。确切地说，古建筑往往都很精美，有着复杂精细的装饰、鲜明的色泽以及复杂但和谐的色彩。
每当一座古建筑被拆除，一部分历史就会永远消失。不幸的是，现在想保护北京的数千条胡同或上海老城都为时已晚。然而，如果优先考虑保护历史建筑，那么保护现存的中国历史上的无数财富还是大有希望的。

In the cartoon above is a college student standing on a huge book．Wearing a suit and tie，the young man is looking into the distance from the book which is like a boat with unfurled sails．The caption reads：“College students starting their own businesses.”
The purpose of the picture is to show us that as long as they are cautious，university students can derive great benefit to their future careers from this kind of real-world experience．Above all，students who launch their own businesses or take on part-time jobs can gain valuable insight into their future career paths. For instance，by running one's own business as an accountant or marketing analyst，business majors can see whether a particular field interests them on more than an academic level．In addition，regardless of whether a student succeeds or fails in a business venture，or whether a part-time job proves interesting or dull，the mere fact of having work experience will come in handy when seeking a full-time job after graduation．In fact，employers will regard students with such work experience as more ambitious，hard-working and mature than graduates who lack it.
Ultimately，every student must decide how best to allocate his or her time outside of class．Indeed，many college-goers are wary of venturing into the real world until absolutely necessary．However，for those with a manageable schedule，an exploratory mind and an entrepreneurial spirit，work experience prior to graduation can offer important career benefits—not to mention a paycheck.
参考译文
上述漫画中有一名大学生站在一本大书上。这个年轻人穿着西装，打着领带，正在从张帆起航像一艘船一样的书上眺望。文字说明显示：“大学生创业”。
这幅图画的目的是告诉我们：只要大学生能谨慎行事，这种现实社会的经历对他们将来的职业是非常有益的。首先，创业或兼职的学生对自己未来的职业道路能有清晰的认识。例如，通过在创业过程中做会计或市场分析师，主修商业的学生就能知道某个专业领域在现实中是否能真正吸引他们，而不仅仅是从学术的抽象角度去看待这些专业。其次，且不管学生在创业中成败与否，或兼职工作是有趣还是无聊，只要学生拥有一份工作经验，那就能在毕业找工作时派上用场。事实上，与缺乏工作经验的毕业生相比，用人单位觉得这类学生更有抱负、更加勤奋和成熟。
最终，每个学生都得知道如何才能最好地分配课余时间。的确，有很多学生只有在迫不得已时，才会跨入现实社会中。但是对于那些能合理安排时间、有探索精神和创业理想的同学而言，毕业前的工作经验会使他们在未来的职场中受益匪浅，更别提他们已得到的那份经济回报了。
