2016年考研英语大作文模拟题 　　科技进步与交通堵塞 　　The picture above is trying to arouse our consideration about the role of the automobile over time by posing a striking contrast. More than one century ago, having seen the invention of the modern transportation, the two men could not help giving the shout “with this, we can go wherever we want!” However, the traffic congestion is so heavy now that the drivers in the cars are dozing off when trapped in this “disaster”. 　　What the painter purposes to tell us is that while the rapid development of economy and technology enables us to enjoy the advantages of modern vehicles, it also leads to heavy traffic jam, a serious problem that has preoccupied many metropolises and caused many inconveniences to us. Undoubtedly, the heavy traffic congestion not only wastes people’s time and energy, but also affects residents’ normal life, not to mention the exhaust fumes that exacerbate air pollution and endanger people’s health. 　　In my opinion, the city that can provide us with happiness and comfort is the city that can ensure good traffic condition, and it’s imperative for us to get moving to reduce the frequency of traffic congestion. As we all know, people’s shift from the private cars to public transportation is the most effective means to ease the troublesome situation, but the comprehensive implementation of this idea entails our government’s endeavor to improve related facilities and reduce the cost of bus and subway. Accordingly, we should bear in mind that the quality of life in cities can be improved only when the traffic jam is relieved. 　　(There is no denying the fact that the vehicle, as the representative of modern technologies, does bring convenience and efficiency to us, which could facilitate our life and work. But the dramatic technological advancements that have already provided us with speed and comfort have also increased the risk that we may be submerged in the “car sea”, suffering the polluted air.) 　　乐观 　　As is shown in the picture, a man is hesitating about attempting his first step, because he finds that the path to success is so rugged and arduous that he may face many formidable tasks and a variety of impossible mission. It seems that success is too remote for him to achieve, yet a ladder named optimism laid on the road reminds us that he can conquer the difficulties in the way if he take advantage of it. 　　What the painter proposes to tell us is that since the road to success is bound to be bumpy and full of inevitable setbacks, we should be optimistic and mentally prepared to confront the obstacles on the road. In other words, optimism plays a key role in our life. However, it’s not difficult to find that there are two strikingly different attitudes toward the life and toward the pathway to success now. Some people, like the man in the picture, are pessimistic about the way to success and exaggerate the difficulties. Undoubtedly, this sort of outlook on life will result in either resignation or depression, prohibiting personal improvement and progress. On the contrary, there is no doubt that those people who take a sanguine view about the prospect and life will reap the harvest at last. 　　In my opinion, an optimistic outlook is of utmost importance for us in today’s society which could be characterized by fierce competition, enormous pressure and busy life style. It will not only help us achieve success, but will also bring a fulfilling life to us. Accordingly, we should bear in mind that optimism is the passport to success and happiness, and a bright future will be on the horizon if we keep optimistic in the face of difficulties in our life. 　　人生目的 　　As is shown in the first picture, a smartly-dressed boy is showing off to his classmate by saying that his father has given him 100 Yuan as pocket money. However, he is struck dumb when his shabbily-dressed classmate proudly announces that he has got full marks in an examination, which will be given to his father as a gift. Undoubtedly, anyone who pays attention to this dialogue will draw a moral from the pictures. 　　Clearly, the purpose of the picture is to arouse our reflection on the question of what should be our aim or objective of our life in today’s society fueled by money and power. However, it’s not difficult to find that there are two strikingly different viewpoints on the life goal in our society now. Some people, like the arrogant boy in the picture, regard large fortune and dazzling appearance as the signs of success and hold the opinion that accumulating wealth is the ultimate object in life. On the contrary, others hold that a person’s value is measured by his achievements and contributions rather than his material wealth. Undoubtedly, those who have this kind of outlook on life will not only lead a fulfilling life, but also contribute to development of our society. 　　In my opinion, an outstanding life is based on right outlook on life and right object of life. So, school education should bear the accountability to help the young generation shape a right outlook and establish a proper object. We should bear in mind that only in this way can we have a good life. 　　(The two pictures above are trying to arouse our consideration about the aim in life by posing an interesting contrast.)
