1、英语二大作文历年真题图表写作Directions:Directions:Study the following set of pictures carefully and write an essay in no less than 120 words.Your essay should cover all the information provided and meet the requirements below:1.Interpret the following pictures.2.Predict the tendency of tobacco consumption and giv

2、e your reasons.We meet smokers everywhere:in the streets,on college campuses and in shops.There are 5.8 billion people in the world,and the smokers are about 1.1 billion,which makes up 20 percent of the worlds total population.Smoking is very harmful.I think there are two main aspects to the damage.

3、First,smoking consumes a great deal of money.As is shown in the pictorial graph,smoking wastes 200 billion dollars each year in the world.Second,smoking does harm to the health of smokers,and it is the main cause of lung cancer.About 3 million people die because of the relevant diseases derived from

4、 smoking every year.Because more and more people are aware of the great harm of smoking to humans,the amount of tobacco consumption is on the decrease.From the following figures we can clearly see the tendency.The total amount of world tobacco production added up to 14.364 billion pounds in 1994,but

5、 it dropped to 14.2 billion pounds in 1995.At the same time,many countries call on people to give up smoking.So it is certain that the number of smokers is to decrease.About Tobacco ConsumptionFrom the above set of pictures,we can see that there were a total of 14.364 billion pounds of tobacco produ

6、ced in 1994 and 14.2 billion pounds in 1995.Because the amount of tobacco production is falling yearly,it can be predicted that the tendency of tobacco consumption would also be falling yearly.There are many reasons.Firstly,smoking wastes money.Every year there are two hundred billion dollars“burnt”

7、in the cigarette“fire.”Secondly,smoking would hardly do people any good and it can even cause cancer.Every year there are three million people“buried”in the cigarette“tomb”.Although tobacco consumption is falling,there are too many people who smoke.The population in the world is 5.8 billion,but abou

8、t twenty percent of the population,that is to say 1.1 billion people,smoke.So the situation is serious and the movement against smoking is still a difficult task.Directions:Directions:Study the following graphs carefully and write an essay in at least 150 words.Your essay should cover these three po

9、ints:1.effect of the countrys growing human population on its wildlife2.possible reason for the effect3.your suggestion for wildlife protectionTHE UPS AND DOWNS OF POPULATION GROWTHThe two graphs tell us something about population growth and wildlife extinction in the U.S.From 1800,the American popu

10、lation has been growing all the time.In the 100 years from 1600 to 1700,the number of wildlife species remained almost stable,with the next 200 years witnessing a growing trend in wildlife extinction.It can be easily seen that the more the human beings,the fewer the animal species.There may be sever

11、al reasons for this effect.First,as human population expands,more and more wild animals are hunted for food.Second,due to all kinds of pollution and the damage of ecosystem caused by man,some animals have nowhere to live.Third,some animals are of great medical value,they become the targets for makin

12、g money.It is time we took some measures to stop this disturbing trend.On one hand,government should pass some laws and regulations to prevent people from killing more wild animals and forbid further damage to our environment.On the other hand,we should cultivate the awareness that animals are our f

13、riends and their extinction poses a threat rather than brings benefits to us.Only when human beings live in harmony with all kinds of animals can we really build a beautiful and healthy world.Developed and developing countries witnessed different rates of growth in mobile-phone subscription from 200

14、0 to 2008.As the bar graph shows,the number of mobile-phone sub-scribers in developed countries rose steadily from 0.7 billion in 2000 to one billion in 2008.By stark contrast,cell phone users in developing countries soared from 0.4 billion to 4 billion in the same period.What accounts for this disp

15、arity?The answer involves two factors.The first reason is technology gap.Developed countries generally enjoy advanced technology,which enables them to popularize mobile phone ahead of developing countries.Another contributing factor is the difference in population size.As we know,developed countries

16、 usually have a small population but most developing countries a large.As the price of the mobile phone slides,more and more people in developing countries avail themselves of this service,which explains the substantial increase in mobile-phone subscription in these countries since 2003.From the cas

17、e of mobile-phone subscription,we see that developing countries are quickly catching up in science and technology,which is believed to be conducive to closing the gap between developing and developed countries.This bar chart indicates different market shares of automobiles of three types of brand af

18、filiations between 2008 and 2009.In 2008,cars with Japanese brands topped the three types of vehicles,accounting for 35%of the total market.What follows is the cars with Chinese brands,hitting 25%of the auto market,with the share of American brand bottomed out at 15%.In 2009,some developments are no

19、ticeable in that the cars with the largest share became those of Chinese brands,which occupied roughly 32%of the market,while cars with Japanese and American brands took 25%and 15%of the whole market respectively.It is observed that between 2008 and 2009,cars of Chinese and Japanese brands took turn

20、s to be the No.1 in terms of market share while those with American brands ranked the last in both years.And the share of Chinese-brand cars witnessed a mild increase and that of the Japanese-brand cars saw a moderate decrease,while the American-brand cars stayed the same。From this graph,we can come

21、 to the safe conclusion that the Chinese automakers are doing a good job in outcompeting their Japanese and American counterparts in 2009,but the gap is not so significant and if no efforts were made from the part of the Chinese auto industry,the distribution map might be rewritten in the future.The

22、 table clearly reflects the statistics of job satisfaction of the staff in a certain company.According to the data given above,we may conclude that the percentage of people satisfied with their jobs is highest among those over 50 years old,at about 40%.Meanwhile,the proportions of the personnel feel

23、ing hard to say are the same between those under 40 and over the age of 50,at about 50%.In contrast,the figure of the staff not satisfied with their jobs is about 64%among those between the age of 41 and 50,the highest among all the three categories.The major determinant lies in peoples various atti

24、tudes.On the one hand,the staffs between the age of 41 and 50 usually have to undertake their responsibilities and pressure from both their families and their career.Sometimes they even go to extremes,and frantically pursue money,power,high social status,and so on,which are all symbols of successbut

25、 never of satisfaction.On the other hand,people over the age of 50 always shift their lifes goal from ultimate success to a relatively easy and comfortable life,and therefore become much more satisfied with their jobs.In view of the above reasoning,I am convinced that it is difficult for everyone to

26、 be content with their jobs,and that it is advisable for each person to adjust his or her understanding of job satisfaction to reality.It is also clear to me that,despite the diverse attitudes towards ones career,true satisfaction probably derives from a positive attitude.某高校学生兼职情况某高校学生兼职情况In the ba

27、r chart,it shows the changes of the proportion of the students having part-time jobs during the four years study in college.The proportion increases slightly from the first year to the third year,however,the fourth year has witnessed a fast increase,surging to 88.24%.There is no denying that taking

28、a part-time job certainly brings about both advantages and disadvantages.To begin with,students can learn how to get along well with others and know the society more profoundly by taking a part-time job.Furthermore,to take a part-time job provides the students with a valuable opportunity to put what

29、 he has learned from books into practice.Finally,studentscan make some money,which helps to unload their families financial burden.However,problems may also arise.The main job of college students is to study,not to work.If they have part-time jobs,they may have to reduce their time for study.As a re

30、sult,they may find it hard to adjust to what the college expects from them as well as their employers expectation,and finally,they may fall behind or fail in their studies.Due to the analysis above,you have to strike a balance between your study and the job.Study is your major task while a part time

31、 job is a minor one though work experience is desirable.Directions:Write your essay about 150 words on ANSWER SHEET.You should 1.interpret the chart,and 2.give your comments.As the bar graph indicates,both city and rural area witnessed a distinguished phenomenon in population fluctuation.Indeed,popu

32、lation in city increased at a breakneck speed and surpassed that of rural area during the period from 1990 to 2010while population in rural region slightly decreased down to a scale which was close to that of city.What accounts for this disparity?The answer involves two factors.The first contributin

33、g factor is the substantially fast developing steps of cities in China.No one can deny that since Chinese economic reform from 1980s which mostly benefits people in city.The second reason is that Chinese farmers enjoy the harvest from new policies that are established to benefit farmers.People in ru

34、ral areas are allowed to migrate for work and residence by the law and an increasing number of farmers choose to work in city and become migrant workers just because they would make much more money than ever before in city.All these are the result of urbanization.Based on the analyses above,we can s

35、afely draw the conclusion that the process of urbanization will continue in the years ahead,and every single Chinese benefits from the fast development of China.What is clearly presented in the above chart is the different numbers of urban residents and rural population among 1990，2000 and 2010The n

36、umber of urban residents climbed steadily from 300 million in 1990 to 660 million or so in 2010，while rural population decreased slightly from about 820 million to 680 million or so in the same periodIt is not difficult to come up with some possible factors accounting for this trend On the one hand，

37、with the rapid development of economy and society，people in mounting numbers crowd into cities in search of employment，a decent living and the excitement of urban life recently On the other hand，the economy in the rural districts is comparative less developed and thus the opportunity to make money a

38、nd pursue their future is as well lean As a result，an increasing number of folks are trying to escape this destiny by flocking into the urban areasGiven the analyses above，I firmly believe that such established trend will surely continue for quite a while in the forthcoming years and due importance should be attached to this evident situation谢谢
