2017考研英语二真题答案（图片版）2017年考研进行得如火如荼，此次英语二考的大作文是曲线图，虽然以往没有考过这类型的图表，但是难度并不大。这种图形写作与2010、2011所考的柱状图写法有很大相似之处，都是有关一定时间段内数量变化的类型，可以说是换汤不换药。该图表涉及内容是参观博物馆的人数变化数据，关键词也不难写，故此从难度上看，属于中低难度。图中的关键词，博物馆(museum)是中学词汇，有基础能力的同学可以相对轻松把握;博物馆参观者用简单的visitors即可;至于图表中的数字是十万，6378个十万即6.378billion.范文如下：Thestatisticsaboutmuseumsandtheirvisitorsarepreciselyillustratedbythelinechart.Duringthe3yearsfrom2013to2015,thefigureofmuseumsexperiencedagradualrise,andsoaringfrom4.145thousandto4.692thousand.Besides,followingthesametendency,thenumberofmuseumvisitors,asisshown,ascendedgraduallyfrom6.378billionto7.811billion,increasingbyabout1.43billion.Thefollowingfactors,frommyperspective,areresponsibleforthestatistics.Tobeginwith,asidefromdisseminatingknowledgeinschools,departmentconcernedadoptsotherwaystopromotethecomprehensivequalityofChinesecitizens,forinstanceprovidingmoreaccesstomuseumsisasimpleyeteffectivewaytobroadenvisitorshorizon.Inaddition,havingbeenexperiencingtheunparalleledmaterialprosperity,mostofChinesecitizensintendtopursueknowledgebyvisitingmuseums,touristattractionsandotherplaces.Moreover,museums,whicharesupportedbypublicfunding,providevisitorswithknowledgeandprofessionalservice.Individuals,therefore,areinclinedtoenjoytheirleisuretimebyvisitingmuseums.Tosummarize,thedatashownbythechartobjectivelyreflectwhatshappeninginoursociety.MuseumsundoubtedlyexertindispensibleeffectsonoursocietyandChinesecitizens,anditispredictablethat,inthenextdecade,bothlargecitiesandsmalltownswillwitnessthepopularizationofmuseums.2017年考研英语二，小作文考察的是一封邀请信的回函，要求写作内容包括：1、接受教授邀请给留学生做有关中国文化的presentation(介绍/演示)。2、提供介绍内容的关键信息。考官出题的套路并不好预测，和往年一样，让想依靠背模板来过写作关的同学眼前一黑，这完全证实了考研英语反押题反模板的一贯思路。不过从内容上看，写作手法也秉承了以往考研英语二小作文的思路-多种文体结合。此次写作完全可以写成一个感谢开头结合内容介绍的格式，思路简单但操作略有难度。写作过程中最难的地方在于有关中国文化的关键信息，对考生的基本功有一定要求。小作文DearProfessorWilliams，ItismyhonortoreceiveyourinvitationtogivepresentationaboutChineseculturetointernationalstudents.AndIamwritingtoexpressmyheartfeltgratitudeandprovidethespecificinformationaboutmypresentation,whichisaboutthebriefintroductionofConfucianism,thedominantphilosophyoforientalculture.Tobeginwith,thefirstpartofmypresentationisthebriefintroductiontoMasterConfuciusandtheAnalectsofConfucius.RelevantbackgroundaboutSpringandAutumnwarringstateperiodwillalsobeintroduced.Inaddition,thesecondpartisaboutetiquette,oneofthecoresofConfucianism,whichstabilizedancientChinesesociety.Moreover,Iwouldliketouploadthee-bookofEnglishversionoftheAnalectsofConfuciustotheofficialwebsiteofouruniversity,sothattheaudiencewillbefullyprepared.Thankyouforyourinvitation,andIwishmypresentationwillbeappreciatedbytheaudience.Yourssincerely,LiMing亲爱的威廉教授：很荣幸收到您邀请我给留学生做关于中国文化的介绍，我在此对您表达衷心的谢意并提供相关的具体信息。我的介绍是关于东方文化的主导哲学思想儒家的内容。首先，我介绍的第一部分是关于孔子和论语的简介。同时还会介绍有关春秋战国的背景。其次，我的第二部分是关于礼的介绍。作为儒家思想的核心之一，礼为古代中国社会具有了稳定性。再次，我会把这些作品的电子版上传到我们大学的官方网站，以便听众能方便的下载，并对我的讲授内容做出充分准备。感谢您对我的邀请，我希望我的介绍能被大家欣赏。李明阅读部分源于TheChristianScienceMonitorJuly1,2016AswildfireschallengeCalifornia,thecausesgobeyondclimateAshiftinthoughtWildfireseasonhasbecomelongerandmoreintenselately.Butbeyondaddressingclimatechange,someresearcherscallforaparadigmshifttoaddressthevarioushumanfactorsrelatingtopreventionandsafety.ByJessicaMendoza,StaffwriterJuly1,2016Azusa,Calif.-Onachain-linkfencealongRoute39hangsahomemadeposter,pepperedwithhearts,thankingfirefightersandpolice.Thesign,oneofahandfulscatteredacrosstown,saluteseffortstobattletheSanGabrielComplexfire,twinblazesthathaderuptedonJune20inthemountainsofAngelesNationalForestjusttothenorthofthecity.Withinadayofigniting,thefirehadburnedthroughnearly5,000acresandforcedhundredstoevacuate.NearlyaweekpassedbeforetheUSForestServiceandlocalandstateauthoritiesmanagedtocontainevenhalfoftheinferno.Recommended:CouldyoubeaHotshot?Takeourquiz!Threedaysin,youcouldstillseetheflames,saysJasminePerez,ateacher'sassistantandresidentofAzusa,whichsitsnortheastofLosAngeles.Andbecauseofthesmoke,sheadds,Inthemornings,itkindoflookedlikenighttimestill.TheSanGabrielComplexwasoneof12largefiresthatabout4,000firefighterswerebattlingacrossCaliforniaasofThursday.SuchnumberssoearlyinthefireseasonareatestamenttothegrowingfrequencyandintensityofwildfiresinthewesternUS,fireofficialssay-ashiftthatmanyexpertssayislikelyintertwinedwithclimatechangeanditsassociatedconsequences,suchasdrought.Butclimate,howevercritical,isonlypartoftheproblem,scientistssay.Agrowingbodyofevidencesuggeststhatotherhumanactivityandpolicyhaveatleastasmuchimpactonwildfiresasclimatechange.Toeffectivelyaddressalongerandmoreintensewildfireseason-andensurethesafetyofresidentsinfire-proneareas-bothenvironmentalandhumanfactorshavetobetakenintoaccountinmoreholisticways,theysay.Thatmeansmorethanjustsweepingdrybrushoffthefrontporch.Thoughsuchstepsareanimportantpartoftheprocess,officialsandresearchersalikearecallingforacomprehensiveapproachtowildfires:onethatincorporatesfiresafetyandbehaviorinkeypolicydecisionsandlegislation.Suchaneffortwouldalsorecognizethatfirecanbehelpfulaswellasharmfulandembracefire'splaceinhumansociety.Weneednotjustapolicyshiftbutalsoaculturalshiftinthed
