真題分析：
本題承襲了考研漫畫內(nèi)容簡(jiǎn)潔、寓意深刻的風(fēng)格。一個(gè)滿頭大汗的運(yùn)動(dòng)員正沖破了一次長(zhǎng)跑比賽的終點(diǎn)，而在終點(diǎn)的不遠(yuǎn)處，赫然標(biāo)著兩個(gè)大字“起點(diǎn)”。通過漫畫的題目“終點(diǎn)又是新起點(diǎn)”，考生很容易就可以抓住本題的中心論點(diǎn)：在人生道路上，我們不能僅僅滿足于一兩次的成功，而只有不斷地追求，我們才能取得進(jìn)步和發(fā)展。這也符合哲學(xué)上事物是不斷發(fā)展的這一趨勢(shì)和真理。針對(duì)這類人生奮斗類的題型，一般提綱都會(huì)要求考生舉出事例，即使提綱沒有要求，考生也能夠?qū)懗鲆粌蓚€(gè)事例，以增強(qiáng)文章的說服力。一般來說，在這種情況下，舉殘疾人、先進(jìn)人物等的例子會(huì)比較切題，有效地加強(qiáng)文章的力度。

范文：
The picture presents a young runner who just finishes a long run and arrives at the finish line, sweating and smiling. While he stand at the end, a sign stating “beginning” lies not far away from his position, indicating that “an end means a new beginning”.
It is true that when a runner reaches the end of one race, he needs to realize that his immediate task is how to achieve the next goal, instead of indulging the past glory and accomplishment. The identical truth applies to every individual, organization, and nation, that setting new goals continuously is the source of advancement.
The deaf and mute American girl Helen Keller is a typical example of our case, as she had spent her whole life struggling and striving for one goal after another. It is not surprising that she finally turned out to be an excellent writer. Equally, businesses and industries should keep setting new tasks in order to preserve their competitiveness. Microsoft, for instance, never ceases creating new products the company launched Vista, Office 2007 and Exchange Server recently though it is already being such a huge conglomerate. In short, it is non-stop efforts that lead to progress.
譯文：
該圖展示了一個(gè)運(yùn)動(dòng)員剛完成一場(chǎng)賽跑、達(dá)到終點(diǎn)，他滿頭大汗但是卻非常滿意地微笑著。在他所站的終點(diǎn)標(biāo)志附近，該圖標(biāo)出了“起點(diǎn)”的標(biāo)志，說明了“終點(diǎn)是新的起點(diǎn)”。
確實(shí)，當(dāng)一個(gè)運(yùn)動(dòng)員跑到終點(diǎn)的時(shí)候，他必須馬上意識(shí)到他的下一個(gè)任務(wù)是達(dá)到新的目標(biāo)，而不是沉湎于過去的榮耀和成就。同樣的道理也適用于每一個(gè)個(gè)人、組織、以及國家，即不斷地設(shè)立新的目標(biāo)才能不斷地前進(jìn)。
聾啞的美國女孩海倫.凱勒是這方面的一個(gè)典型例子，因?yàn)樗簧荚跒橐粋€(gè)接一個(gè)的目標(biāo)而努力和奮斗。因此，她最后變成了一個(gè)優(yōu)秀的作家并不令人驚訝。同樣的，工商界如果想要保持它們的競(jìng)爭(zhēng)力，就要不斷地為自己設(shè)立新任務(wù)。例如，微軟公司作為如此大型的一個(gè)集團(tuán)，也從來沒有停止創(chuàng)造新產(chǎn)品的腳步，該公司在最近發(fā)布了Vista, Office 2007 和Exchange Server三大產(chǎn)品?？偟膩碚f，永不停止的努力才能引領(lǐng)進(jìn)步和發(fā)展。
閃光詞匯及詞組：
sweating and smiling: 這里我們要介紹英語中的一種特殊的修辭方法，叫做alliteration，即“頭韻”。一般在漢語以及英語中我們講究壓尾韻，而英語中經(jīng)常可以把一些開頭的輔音相同的單詞組合在一起，讀起來也非?，槵樕峡?。考生如果能在平時(shí)有意識(shí)地收集這些頭韻組合，在考試中用上一兩個(gè)，會(huì)大大為文章添彩。類似的短語還有我們?cè)凇敖?jīng)典應(yīng)用文背誦”部分中提到的safe and sound?！癏e has more brawn than brain”，他四肢發(fā)達(dá)頭腦簡(jiǎn)單。
achieve: v. 達(dá)到，完成
glory: n. 榮耀，光榮
accomplishment: n. 成就
identical: adj. 同一的，同樣的
advancement: n. 前進(jìn)，進(jìn)步
turn out to be: 變成

（2）2007年真題。
Write an essay of 160-200 words based on the following drawing. In your essay, you should:
1) describe the drawing briefly,
2) explain its intended meaning, and then
3) support your view with an example/examples.
You should write on ANSWER SHEET 2.
真題分析：
在這道最新的考研題目中，出題漫畫較往年顯得更加生動(dòng)有趣，寓意也十分明顯。在一位球員即將進(jìn)球的瞬間，球員和守門員都顯得猶豫不決。球員認(rèn)為守門員長(zhǎng)得極其高大從而擋住了球門，使他的攻擊幾乎變成了“mission impossible”（不可能完成的任務(wù)）。同時(shí)，守門員卻覺得自己太渺小而球門太大，守門的任務(wù)十分艱巨，同樣也是“mission impossible”。對(duì)于有中文文化背景的學(xué)生來說，很容易就可以聯(lián)想到《孫子兵法》中說的“知己知彼，百戰(zhàn)不殆”，也就是說，只有充分了解自己和對(duì)手的所有優(yōu)缺點(diǎn)，我們才能夠有足夠的信心取得最終的勝利。從這一點(diǎn)上我們可以繼續(xù)引申，說明無論是個(gè)人、組織甚至對(duì)于國家來說，無論遇到什么情況，都要正確的評(píng)估自己以及具體事例的特點(diǎn)，從而充滿信心地去取得應(yīng)該取得的成就。
思路拓展：
關(guān)于人生價(jià)值類的題目在短短幾年時(shí)間內(nèi)竟然考了兩次，這必須引起我們的高度重視。出題者的思路也是可以理解的，正在參加考研的大學(xué)生們都風(fēng)華正茂，處于人生揚(yáng)帆的關(guān)鍵時(shí)刻。這個(gè)時(shí)候大學(xué)生們需要樹立正確的世界觀、人生觀和價(jià)值觀，從而有助于他們?cè)趯淼娜松缆飞先〉贸晒Α?BR> 人生價(jià)值的內(nèi)容包羅萬象，有對(duì)成功的理解、對(duì)生活的態(tài)度、對(duì)知識(shí)和學(xué)習(xí)的定位等等，以及如何面對(duì)困境和挫折、如何正確認(rèn)識(shí)金錢和人生的關(guān)系等等。這一類話題并不總是熱點(diǎn)話題，但又和許多領(lǐng)域緊密相連，特別是和教育領(lǐng)域的相關(guān)話題有關(guān)。同時(shí)，我們?cè)谠S多社會(huì)現(xiàn)象中也可以發(fā)現(xiàn)人們不同的人生價(jià)值，媒體上也經(jīng)常組織相關(guān)的大討論，考生應(yīng)予以密切關(guān)注。
范文：
This picture shows a critical moment that can occur in any soccer game—a players is about to kick the ball while the keeper is fully ready for the attack. Interestingly, the player and the keeper are experiencing quite opposite psychological processes: the player thinks the task is extremely difficult as the goal is quite small compared with the huge keeper, while the latter fears that the goal is too enormous for him to protect.
It is conspicuously indicated that in order to gain confidence and achieve success, we not only need to attain a thorough understanding of ourown merits and disadvantages of ourselves, but also those aspects of our opponents. Both the player and the keeper merely focus on their own faults and their counterparts’ advantages, leading to their hesitation at the key time.
In a recent interview of hurdler Liu Xiang, he revealed that his success is partly owed to his training team’s study of his strong competitors around the world, so that he can learn from the others and is more confident when facing any new race. Just as the ancient Chinese philosophical book The Art of War concludes, if you know yourself and your enemy, you’ll never lose a battle.
譯文：
該圖展示的是一場(chǎng)足球比賽中的關(guān)鍵時(shí)刻——一個(gè)球員正準(zhǔn)備要進(jìn)球，而守門員正全力準(zhǔn)備回?fù)暨@次進(jìn)攻。有趣的是，球員和守門員正在經(jīng)歷相反的心理歷程：球員認(rèn)為這項(xiàng)任務(wù)非常艱巨，因?yàn)榍蜷T如此之小而守門員長(zhǎng)得高達(dá)威猛；守門員卻害怕球門太大而他自己太渺小，很難保護(hù)球門。
這幅圖告訴我們，為了取得信心、達(dá)到勝利，我們不僅要對(duì)自己的優(yōu)缺點(diǎn)有充分的了解，而且還要對(duì)對(duì)手的優(yōu)缺點(diǎn)有充分了解。但是，圖中的球員和守門員只想到了自己的缺點(diǎn)和對(duì)手的優(yōu)點(diǎn)，因此在關(guān)鍵時(shí)刻躊躇不前。
在對(duì)中國運(yùn)動(dòng)員劉翔的一個(gè)最近的采訪中，他透露了自己的成功部分歸功于他的訓(xùn)練隊(duì)詳細(xì)研究了他在世界各國的對(duì)手們的特點(diǎn)，因此他可以學(xué)習(xí)他人的優(yōu)點(diǎn)，于是面對(duì)比賽的時(shí)候更有信心。就像中國古代的兵書《孫子兵法》總結(jié)的那樣，知己知彼，百戰(zhàn)不殆。
閃光詞匯及詞組：
be about to: 將要, 正打算
psychological: adj. 心理上的
enormous: adj. 巨大的，龐大的
attain: v. 獲得，達(dá)到
merely: adv. 僅僅

hesitation: n. 猶豫，躊躇
glorious: adj. 光榮的
