2011.1 欧洲
Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and the assignment below. (2011.1)
Too many people do not consider their task or project complete or acceptable until every detail has been done right. Fortunately, such people have not always had their way, since nothing would ever be completed if we had to check every detail before we could consider our work done. In fact, none of the world's greatest accomplishments would have been made, because none of them is perfect in every detail.
Assignment: Do people put too much importance on getting every detail right on a project or task? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations.
1. 题目翻译:
太多人只有等到所有的细节都完美无缺是才认为他们的任务或项目已经完成或者可以接受了。还好,这样的人并非总能得偿所愿,因为如果我们在认为工作已经完成之前,我们必须检查所有的细节,而这样任何事情都不可能完成。实际上,全世界最伟大的成就都不可能达成。因为没有一件事情能在每个细节上都完美无缺。
题目:人们过于重视项目或者任务的细节了吗?
2. 审题关键词:importance, detail
3. 论证分析-各段核心提纲:
正:Many things require us to be critical on details. Minor mistakes can lead to massive disasters.
反:Putting too much emphasis on details distracts us from looking at the big picture. It also takes much time and energy.
补:We should not be too harsh on ourselves.
2011.5 欧洲
Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and the assignment below. (2011.5)
While serious thinking about important matters may disturb people in the short term, it benefits them immeasurably in the long term. Only by confronting unpleasant truths and by weighing both sides of complex issues can people understand the facts—whether in history, politics, literature, or their own lives—and make appropriate decisions. People may find it difficult, or uncomfortable, to think seriously about important matters, but not doing so means that they are leading lives without meaning or purpose.
Assignment: Does every individual have an obligation to think seriously about important matters, even when doing so may be difficult? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations.
1. 题目翻译:
虽然严肃地思考重要的事情会在短时间内打扰人们,但是这种思考会在长期对人有不可估量的好处。只有通过面对让人不快的真相和估计事件的正反两面,人们才能了解实情,做出合适的决定。不论是历史、、文学还是他们自己的生活都是如此。人们可能会觉得严肃地思考重要的事情是困难而不快的,但是不这样做就以为着他们正过着没有意义和目标的生活。
题目:即使严肃地思考重要的问题可能很困难,每个人都有义务这样做吗?
2. 审题关键词:seriously, difficult
3. 论证分析-各段核心提纲:
正:Careful thinking can prevent people from making irrational decisions.
反:No matter how hard you think, it is impossible to think everything through by yourself.
补:Most useful thing in life are difficult. We have to take the pains to make ourselves better.
2011.10 欧洲
Think carefully about the issue presented in the following excerpt and the assignment below. (2011.10)
The making of illusions—misleading images or ideas that appear to be authentic or true—has become the primary business of our society. Included in this category are not only the false promises made by advertisers and politicians but all of the activities which supposedly inform, comfort, and improve us, such as the work of our best writers and our most influential leaders. These promises and activities only encourage people to have unrealistic expectations and to ignore facts.
Adapted from Daniel J. Boorstin, The Image
Assignment: Are people overly influenced by unrealistic claims and misleading images? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations.
1. 题目翻译:
创造幻觉,也就是那些看起来原创或者真实的,而实际上让人误解的形象或者想法,已经成为了我们这个社会的主要任务。这样的幻觉不仅仅包括广告上和政客所做的错误的承诺,还有所有应当通知、安慰和改进我们的活动,比如最好的作家所写的作品和最有影响力的领袖。这些承诺和活动仅仅鼓励人们拥有不切实际的期望而忽略了现实。
题目:人们受不切实际的声明和令人误解的形象太多的影响吗?
2. 审题关键词:unrealistic claims, misleading images
3. 论证分析-各段核心提纲:
正:They have created too many false hopes for people. Eventually, we will realize that they are merely illusions.
反:It is hopes, even they are false hope, that drive us to move forwards. We cannot live without them.
补:There is no such thing as complete truth. As long as they have given us hope, it is enough.
