06考研英语冲刺12大主题经典范文 2

范文2. 论学术腐败
　　图上有四个人在做 “科研论文”, 这四个人围坐在一起, 左边的人抄袭右边的人, 形成一个怪圈。
　　Type A
　　1) Show your understanding of the symbolic¹ meaning of the pictures below(描述点题段). 
　　2) Give a specific example, and. (举例说明段)
　　3) Give your suggestion as to the best way to overcome it (前瞻感言段)
　　The picture symbolically² depicts³ how some people who call themselves “scholars” are doing their research. Instead of writing their own research papers, they resort to copying each other’s works. Looking at the picture, we cannot but worry about the problem of intellectual honesty—an issue vital to the healthy development of our science and technology cause.
　　Suppose that every scientist or researcher does not do experiments, but plagiarize⁴ others’ research results, then what would happen? There would be no intellectual honesty and people would no longer believe what the scientists say. Since scientists are noble elites⁵ of society, if their words are incredible, then the credibility of the whole society would deteriorate⁶ and collapse⁷. 
　　Therefore, intellectual credibility is not something that we can afford to lose or leave it at large. We each individual should start from right here and now, and attach great value and importance to the urgency of the issue. It is time that drastic measures were taken by the authorities to change the situation.
　　Type B 
　　In your essay, you should first describe the drawing (描述点题段) then interpret its meaning(阐述寓意段), and give your comment on it. (前瞻感言段)
