07年考研英语尘埃落定。首先，小作文考信，大作文考图画，这都没有出我们的预料。信十分简单，用老师的方法：先用中文列个题纲。比如：①图书馆开门太晚。②冬天不供应热水。③增添设备减少借还书时间，等等。然后变成英文，100余词的作文屈指可成。其次，今年的大作文并未按跟局势挂钩来出（去年跟“超女”、“追星”等话题挂钩），这也在我们预测之中。但图画含义之深刻，却出乎大多数人的意料之外。40分钟的大作文时间，起码抽出3～5分钟去想写什么内容，千万不能跑题。至于何谓“不跑题”？这亦未有定论。比如03年考“温室的花朵”，有人认为其暗指家长对独生子女的溺爱，这因固然很好。但也有人认为其喻意是指一个国家或民族必须有强大的政府保护，否则其人民将遭殃（如巴勒斯坦，黎巴嫩等），这也未尝不可。

至于07年作文含义？有人认为守门员觉得门太宽，难以守住，而踢球者觉得门太小而守门人太高，向影很大，无处不在，如何路易呀？这都是缺少自信的表现，于是就以信心为题下笔来写。当然，也有人不这么认为。他们认为07年图画代表了“主观”与“客观”的区别。虽然球门宽窄是固定的，但在守者眼里太“宽”而在攻者眼里又太“窄”。这有点象明月——“世人喜其朗亮，而盗贼恶其光明”；又象春雨——“农夫喜其润泽，而旅人恨其泥泞”是一个道理。这也说得过去。总之，作文没有固定答案，只要讲得有道理，就不算跑题。然后，开始写。这就是英文表达的问题了。（见范文）

51.小作文

Dear Sir Jan 20 2007

I''m a student in our university and now,I would like to convey in this letter my frank suggestions to improve our library services to you. In the first place,if you open much earlier in the morning,for example,before 7：30 am,students would be able to avoid the chilly wind waiting outside.In the second place,if you provide students with hot water,they would feel grateful to you because it is both inconvenient and improper to drink cold water in winter.Last but not the least is that you should,if possible,buy more computer equipment so as to shorten the time of borrowing and returning books. It is my sincere belief that if you do sth as I have suggested above,it will not only benefit the students,but also do googd to the university faculty.
Sincerely Yours Li Ming

52.大作文

Here is a picture of a football match in which a goal keeper is standing in front of a goal,ready to protect it while a footballer is trying to kick the ball in.At the same time，the goal keeper is thinking：“How wide the goal is！How can I keep it？”while the footballer is thingking about what is contrary to this：“The goal keeper is so big that I nearly don''t''t have any chance of kicking in.”

Obviously，as is shown in this cartoon,both of them don''t''t have enough confidence and if you have no confidence,how can you get your goal in life？！Losing one''s self-confidence before doing things can not merely affect your thoughts but also do harm to the actions you will take. For example，when I was in the middle school,once,our school basket ball team would play against another team which was very famous in our city and eveyone in our team felt that the only consequence would be our team''s failure.As a result,we didn''t even make any preparations beforehand.of course，the result was—we failed.One year later,we met the same team in a match again.This time，our teacher inspired us with confidence and hope.Then，we made a detailed plan and we practiced and out of everybody''s imagination,we finally won.So,our conclusion was—“Confidence is the first step to success！”
