（1）2001年真題。Directions:
Among all the worthy feelings of mankind, love is probably the noblest, but everyone has his/her own understanding of it.
There has been a discussion recently on the issue in a newspaper. Write an essay to the newspaper to:
1) show your understanding of the symbolic meaning of the picture below,
2) give a specific example, and
3) give your suggestion as to the best way to show love.
You should write about 200 words on ANSWER SHEET 2.
真題分析：
本題的出題者預(yù)設(shè)了一個(gè)情景，即最近報(bào)紙上正在進(jìn)行關(guān)于“愛(ài)”的大討論，要求考生根據(jù)給出的圖為報(bào)社寫(xiě)一篇相關(guān)的文章。其實(shí)無(wú)論題目中是否給出了一個(gè)具體的情景，對(duì)于考生的寫(xiě)作基本上沒(méi)有什么大的影響�？忌梢院�(jiǎn)單考慮或者忽略給定情景，而專(zhuān)注于對(duì)圖畫(huà)的分析和解讀。
這幅圖內(nèi)容非常簡(jiǎn)單，一盞畫(huà)著笑臉火焰的油燈，以及上面的一行字“愛(ài)心是一盞燈，在越黑暗的地方越明亮”，相當(dāng)于中國(guó)古語(yǔ)中“雪中送炭”的效果。該圖的寓意非常深刻，說(shuō)明人們?cè)诶Ь持械玫降膸椭欠浅Ｕ滟F的，從而鼓勵(lì)人人在他人困難的時(shí)候獻(xiàn)出愛(ài)心，互相幫助。
思路拓展：
情感類(lèi)的題目也可以聯(lián)系到人際關(guān)系、社會(huì)道德和風(fēng)氣、情商教育等相關(guān)領(lǐng)域。這與中國(guó)現(xiàn)在正在建設(shè)的社會(huì)主義精神文明和社會(huì)主義和諧社會(huì)的努力是一致的，因此我們可以找到很多相關(guān)的素材，包括好人好事、典型事跡等，都可以為考生在作文中所用。
范文：
The light of an oil lamp is approximately insignificant in the daytime; however, the darker the environment is, the more brilliant it seems, just as is depicted in the picture. The importance of love, to some extent, can be interpreted according to a similar logic—love is more precious when it is given to those who are in difficulties and adversities.
To specify this statement, I would like to take Kong Fansen as an example. Kong, instead of settling for his comfortable official position in the rich and well-off Province of Shandong, volunteered to serve in a most backward area in Tibet where the weather is notoriously abominable. Kong was consistently dedicated to the fulfillment of the principle of “serving the people”, and he always appeared at the most critical moments of local residents’ hardship and impediment. Freezing as it was in Tibet, Kong’s love and care largely warmed people’s hearts.
Kong’s story, suggest that the best practice to show love is to help those who are in need. We should always be ready to provide assistance to others, even if it is merely minor things like listening to others’ troubles. A little of our generosity might brighten the whole world of the unfortunate.
譯文：
一盞燈的燈光在白天的時(shí)候是無(wú)關(guān)緊要的；但是，當(dāng)周?chē)h(huán)境越黑的時(shí)候，燈光就顯得越明亮，就像圖中所示的那樣。在某種程度上，愛(ài)的重要性可以用相同的邏輯來(lái)進(jìn)行解釋——當(dāng)人們處于困難或者逆境中的時(shí)候，他們得到的愛(ài)就越珍貴。
為了具體說(shuō)明這個(gè)問(wèn)題，我將以孔繁森作為一個(gè)例子�？追鄙瓫](méi)有在富裕和小康的山東省滿足于其領(lǐng)導(dǎo)崗位，而是主動(dòng)要求去西藏一個(gè)氣候惡劣的落后地區(qū)服務(wù)。他堅(jiān)持致力于實(shí)現(xiàn)“為人民服務(wù)”的原則，總是在當(dāng)?shù)厝罕娪龅嚼щy的關(guān)鍵時(shí)刻出現(xiàn)。雖然西藏嚴(yán)寒無(wú)比，但孔繁森的關(guān)愛(ài)卻溫暖了人們的心。
孔繁森的故事告訴了我們，給予愛(ài)的最好方式就是幫助那些需要幫助的人。我們應(yīng)該隨時(shí)給予別人幫助，即使只是做一些小事情，諸如傾聽(tīng)別人述說(shuō)煩惱。我們的一份慷慨也許會(huì)點(diǎn)亮不幸的人們那灰暗的世界。
