前言：追溯這類話題的考察，最近的一次是在2011年真題："旅途之'餘'"；論述旅遊景點環境破壞與汙染話題；至今，已經有兩年未曾考察這樣的社會話題。社會現象與熱點話題，又可分為社會積極話題（2010年文化火鍋-文化融合）、社會負面話題（2011年環境）以及社會中性話題（2013年大學生畢業選擇）；個人愚見，社會積極話題，屬歌功頌德，讚美和諧社會，考得意義不是那麼大吧？社會中性話題，呈現一個社會的普通現象，因為2013剛剛考過，應該也不太會在2014年真題出現。再者，中性話題實在範圍太廣，無法預測，也不想預測；於是，社會負面話題，成為了2014年的準熱門。（全屬個人拙見，考生自行判斷）！
社會現象與熱點話題，根據歷年命題，又分為以下幾類，考生在考前應該對每個話題進行準備，提煉作文結構與框架，準備相應主題詞與論據和素材。如果考試碰到考前準備的相關話題，靈活應變，自圓其說，順利成文即可。
A類：網絡與科技類此類題目最近的題源是2009年"網絡的'近'與'遠'"；自那之後，未曾考察；然而，近2年的四六級卻瘋狂地迷戀上了這個主題；因為考生也需進行相應準備。
Topic 5：Internet rumors 網絡謠言
The cartoon informs us of the phenomenon of the Internet rumors. The spread of the Internet rumors should be based on three conditions: firstly, the widespread availability and convenience of theInternet. Compared with other channels of transmission, the Internet enjoys afeature of fast speed and wide extent，whereby spreader can lower the cost of distributing rumors. Secondly,there are many ill-intentioned people existing on the Internet, as snakes inthe grasses. These people are always hopping to draw others'attention or even disturb public order via circulating rumors. They focus onself-satisfaction while overlook the negative impact of their misdeeds onothers'peaceful life. They are selfish and to blame. Thirdly, the anonymity of theInternet which enables some spreaders to avoid being pushished for theirmalpractice. Sometines, they can circulate undesirable informationuninhibitedly without suffering much in the way of consequences.
Definitely, itis widely accepted that the Internet rumors exert a detrimental impact on ourlife. Perhaps it is time that we should take some measures to clamp down onthis trend. （177words）
這幅漫畫告知了我們網絡謠言的現象。網絡謠言的傳播基於三種條件：其一，網際網路的廣泛使用和其便利性。相對於其他傳播途徑，網際網路的傳播速度更快範圍更廣，而且成本也更為低廉。其二，大量的居心不良的人的存在，這些人總是希望通過傳播網絡謠言來吸引人們的注意力甚至擾亂社會，他們關注自我愉悅，卻忽視了這可能會影響他人的正常生活，這些人時自私的；其三，網際網路的匿名性，這使得很多人可以避免傳播惡意謠言帶來的懲罰。有些時候他們可以肆無忌憚地傳播謠言卻可以不承擔後果。
眾所周知，網絡謠言會對我們的生活造成有害的影響，或許，是時候我們採取一些行動來壓制一下這種趨勢了。
特別提示：部分考生也準備過"個人信息洩露 personal data leakage"這個話題，鑑於篇幅，這裡不予呈現；另外，2013年12月14日的四級作文"低頭族-過度使用手機"已經考察，但不敢斷言本次考研會重複考或者不考，也需稍作準備。
B類：青少年面對社會類此類題目最近的題源是2013年"畢業生的選擇"；考察的話題為與大學生緊密相關的話題。類似的話題，還有2007年"缺乏自信"、2006年"將崇拜寫在臉上"。以下範文為2006年真題，注意行文展開，不需背誦！
From the picture given above, we can observe that there are two young men using different ways to show admiration towards their role model. By writing "Beckham" on his face, the man on the lef tpicture expresses his intense enthusiasm for Beckham. Meanwhile, to make himself resemble his idol, the man on the right picture spends 300 RMB making aBeckham's hairstyle.
The cartoon aims at informing us of the phenomenon that many adolescents admire their role models in an excessiveand blind way. Quite a few reasons can account for this: for one thing, with the mass media spreading the positive image of superstars, young people can hardly resist the charm of them. They regard superstars as their examples and desire to be people like them. For another, youngsters' craze for superstars can also be attributed to the influence of thef orce of"group dynamics" : when members of their social networks show great enthusiasm for some idols, young people areso easily influenced by their friends or classmates and then imitate the behavior they see. This could be a subtle form of peer pressure.
We cannot draw an absolute conclusion whether idol-worship is good or bad. Simply imitating role model's dresses or behaviors, youngsters may lose themselves and it will definitely interfere withtheir personal life or studies. However，when learning idols' diligence,spirit and ambitions, young people can transform their worship to the passion for life, the stimulus to success and the driving force ofstruggling. Hence, whether idol worship is positive or negative is up to youngsters themselves. （272 words）
如圖所示，我們可以看到有兩個年輕人用不同的方式展現對他們的偶像的仰慕。通過把貝克漢姆寫在臉上，左邊這個人表達了對貝克漢姆的熱情喜愛。同時，為了使自己更加像偶像，右邊這個人花了300元錢做了貝克漢姆的髮型。
這幅漫畫在於告訴我們一個現象，那就是，很多的青少年都以過度而盲目的方式崇拜偶像。相當多的理由可以解釋這個現象：首先，大眾傳媒傳播明星的積極形象，年輕人幾乎無法拒絕他們的魅力。他們將偶像當成自己的榜樣，並且渴望成為他們那樣的人。另外，年輕人對明星的崇拜也可以歸結為所謂的"群體動力學"的力量的影響：當他們社交網絡中的成員顯示出對某些偶像的巨大熱情，年輕人很容易受到他們的朋友和同學的影響並且模仿他們所看到的行為。這是一種同齡人壓力的潛在形式。
我們無法得出絕對的結論，是否偶像崇拜是好還是壞。如果只是模仿明星的穿著、行為，年輕人可能會失去自我，這很明顯會影響他們的個人生活和學習。然而，當他們學習偶像的勤奮、精神和上進心的時候，年輕人可以將偶像崇拜化為對生活的激情，成功的動力和奮鬥的驅動力。因此，偶像崇拜是好是壞，由年輕人們自己決定。
特別提示：建議考生準備以下"論交友"這個話題；此文重在強調交友對人的影響，你可以試試：
C類：兩代關係與家庭話題 Topic 6:愛幼不敬老此類題目最近的題源是2005年"養老足球賽"及2003年"溫室的的花朵"這兩篇；特提供以下範文一篇，以供參考（此範文選自《考研英語高分寫作100篇》由北京新東方大英國協部門總監何剛老師及天津新東方學校校長印建坤老師共同編著。範文質量很高，就直接引用，特此申明，並向兩位新東方前輩致謝。）
As can be seen from thepicture, the department in a store which sells nutritive products for childrenis surrounded by crowds of parents, making the salespeople extremely busy. In contrast, the neighboring department that sells similar products for the elderly seems rather deserted by customers. Its saleswoman feels so bored that she can not resist falling asleep.
The picture mirrors a common social phenomenon from a unique angle-people tend to care more for the next generation than the previous one. On the one hand, young couples dote on children, most of whom are the "only children". Parents endeavor to prepare their kids for a bright future by raising them healthily. On the other hand,young couples fail to spend time with their old parents, and some of them are even too mean to provide the old with at least a decent living environment.
I think such a trend is quite abnormal and distressing. Filial duty used to be the most highly prized virtue among the Chinese for over two thousand years. Busy as people are, the duty should not be easily shirked. Supplying our old parents with material and emotional supportsis not only a repayment to them, but can also set a good example to educate theyouth. （214words）
從圖中我們可以看到，一家商店中的兒童營養品專櫃前擠滿了父母們，以至於售貨員幾乎要忙不過來了。而隔壁的老年營養品專櫃看起來似乎已經被顧客們遺忘了。這個售貨員甚至無聊得睡著了。
這幅圖從一個獨特的視角反映了一個普遍的社會現象，即人們對於下一代的關心超過了上一代。一方面，年輕的夫婦們把大部分的注意力都放在他們的獨生子女身上，讓他們健康地成長並為他們創造美好的未來。另一方面，年輕夫婦們沒能花時間和他們的老父母們在一起，有一些人甚至吝嗇得不肯給父母提供像樣的居住環境。
我認為這是一個非常不正常和令人沮喪的現象。子女孝敬老人的義務一直是中國兩千多年的歷史中最為推崇的美德。現代人即使非常忙，但也不應該把這一義務拋之腦後。為父母們提供物質和精神上的關愛和支持不僅是對他們的回報，也為教育年輕一代樹立了榜樣。
特別提示：建議考生，準備以下"啃老族 boomerang kids"、"就業難 graduates' unemployment"等與青少年相關的話題；兩代溝通話題，也可以關注下。
D類：環境與資源話題此類題目最近的題源是2011年考研"旅遊景區環境破壞"；類似題目在2012年12月22日的六級考試中"地球可以滿足人們的需求，卻滿足不了人們的貪婪"關於資源過度開發，也已經考察；屬於熱點話題，應該有所準備。
Topic 7：Air pollution 霧都與空氣汙染
The cartoon vividly reveals the phenomenon of air pollution or the declineof air quality. Causes of this issue appears to be complicated and mixed: firstly, vehicle exhaust gases could be one of the most leading causes. With the improvement of economy and people's living standard, more and more urban inhabitants own their private cars. More automobiles will inevitably generate more exhaust gases. Additionally, household appliances widely used in cities also release a great amount of carbon dioxide gases, which further intensifies air pollution. Last but not least, many factories around the cities emit large quantities of untreated and poinsonous gases, which should also be responsible for the decline of air quality.
It is undeniable that air pollution will exert a detrimental impact on many aspects of people's life. For example, many diseases such cough，skin problems and lang cancer are mainly caused by it. Hence, it is about time that we should begin to take some measures to reverse the inexorable decline in the air quality. (167words)
此圖生動地揭示了空氣汙染和空氣品質下降的現象。這個問題的原因顯得比較複雜：首先，機動車的尾氣排放是主要原因。隨著經濟的發展和人們生活水平的提高，越來越多的城市居民都擁有了自己的汽車，而更多地汽車勢必帶來大量的尾氣排放。其次，城市裡廣泛使用的家用電器排放了大量的二氧化碳，這也進一步加劇了空氣汙染。最後，城市周邊的很多的工廠，也每天向空氣中排放大量的未經處理的有毒氣體,這也導致了空氣品質的下降。
無可否認，空氣汙染會對人們生活的諸多方面造成有害的影響。比如，類似咳嗽、皮膚病和肺癌等很多疾病就主要是由空氣汙染造成的。因此，我們是時候開始採取一些行動來扭轉空氣品質的不可逆轉的下滑了。
Topic 8：Thrift and waste 節約與浪費
Symptoms of waste in our soceity are not difficult to find. Lotsof foods on table which could not be eated at a time are thrown away casually. Besides, new clothes deemed out of fashion are also discarded by people. Last but not least, people without habits of turning off the faucet or power switchin time abound in our life, they waste water and electricity without evenrealizing it. Such careless waste can mostly be attributed to the absence of the consciousness of thrift. People today place a higher value on exploiting resources，while they overlook conserving and economizing resources.
There is an old saying in China,"waste is shameful, thrif noble."Definitely, China has always been a country which celebrates thrift and distastes waste. If this trend is to be left unfettered, it will not only waste financial and material resources,but also damage Chinese traditional virtue or even impair the interests of our future generations. Perhaps, it is about time we began to address this issue.(172 words)
在我們的社會中，浪費的現象並不難發現。滿桌的沒有吃完的食物被人們隨意的扔掉；再者，嶄新的卻被認為跟不上時尚的衣服也被人扔掉了；最後，那些沒有及時關掉水龍頭和電源開關習慣的人在我們生活中大量存在，他們在毫無意識的情況下浪費了水和電。這些漫不經心的浪費大多數可以歸結為節約意識的匱乏。現在的人似乎更重視開發資源，而忽視了保護資源和節約資源。
中國有句老話："浪費是可恥的，節約是高尚的"。的確，中國自古就是一個崇尚節約，反對浪費的國家。當前這種浪費之風如果得不到有效遏止的話，不僅會浪費寶貴資源，損失財力物力，甚至會破壞中國的傳統美德以及子孫後代的利益。也許，我們是時候想一些辦法解決這個問題了。
E類：文化教育話題此類題目最近的題源是2012年考研"文化火鍋"；2013年6月15日的四級考試考察了"閱讀文學的重要性"的話題；資訊時代改變了很多東西，其中之一就是文化。文化現象在當代中國是永恆的話題；而且，話題可能集中於負面現象：文化流失。目前，國內各大電視臺最火爆的節目，有"漢字拼寫大賽"、"成語英雄"等，針對的都是中國人國語、中國傳統文化話題；另外，2013年北京市高考改革，加大語文分值；算盤成為中國第30項非物質文化遺產等，都緊密和文化相關，因此，此類題目考生應該予以重視。
Topic 9：The loss of traditional culture 傳統文化流失
From the cartoon given above, we can observe that there are two people watching Peking Opera. With the actress playing vividly on thestage, the old man is watching attentively. However, the little boy sitting beside does not even cast a glance at the actress and falls sleepy. It isobvious that he shows no interest in Peking Opera.
The cartoon reflects an interesting and common aspect in our daily life. However, from a deeper perspective, it also reveals the gradual loss of traditional culture in modern society. What exactly contribute to this phenomenon ? Possible reasons could be listed as follows: for one thing, quitea few people, especially youngsters, hold that Chinese traditional culture is out-dated and of little use in modern society. Perhaps, from their perspectives,traditional culture form the distant past can hardly adapt to or keep pace with the ever-changing new world. Moreover, exotic cultures, to some extent, have also posed a great challenge to the traditional culture of China. As we can see, a large body of people have been attracted by foreign cultures which feature diversity, novelty and richness-Crazy fans of foreign TV programs, electronic products or even ways of life abound in our daily life.
However, no one can deny the signficance of Chinesetraditional cultre. It is the crystallization of Chinese wisdom and civilization. An individual or nation showing no respect to the essence oftraditional culture cannot be expected to develop and be stronger. Hence, something could and should be done to reverse the inexorable decline in the emphasis of Chinese traditional culture. (263)
如上圖所示，我們可以看到有兩個人正在看京劇。當女演員生動地在舞臺上表演，老者專心致志地看著。然而，坐在邊上的小男孩甚至都沒有瞥一眼女演員並且睡著了。很明顯，他對京劇沒有什麼興趣。
這幅圖畫反應了日常生活中有趣而又平常的一面。然而，從更為深層的角度來看，它也揭示了現代社會中的傳統文化的流失。是什麼導致了這個現象？是什麼導致了這個現象？可能的理由可以羅列如下：首先，相當多的人，尤其是年輕人，認為中國傳統文化在現代社會中過時而且沒有什麼用了。也許，在他們看來，來自遙遠的過去的傳統文化幾乎是不能適應和跟得上持續變化的新世界的。再者，外來文化也在某種程度上對傳統文化造成了巨大的威脅。正如我們所能看見的，相當多的人已經被以多樣性、新穎性和豐富性為特徵的國外文化吸引了- 對國外電視節目，電子產品甚至是生活方式狂熱的粉絲在我們生活中比比皆是。
然而，沒有人可以否認傳統文化的重要性。它是中國智慧和文明的結晶。一個不尊重傳統文化的精髓的民族和個人是無法發展和強大的。因此，我們可以也應該做一些事情，來扭轉現在人們對中國傳統文化的重視的不可遏制的下降。
參考閱讀及瀏覽範文：On reading 閱讀的重要性(2013年6月四級寫作真題)
Fromthe cartoon given above, we can observe that there is a teacher and a student standing in a classroom. When receiving a literature book from her teacher, the little girl seems to be quite nervous and unwilling. Having observed her student's response, the teacher replies that "Just think of it as if you are reading a long text-message."
The cartoon aims at informing us of the phenomenon that quite a few students or youngsters are reluctant to read literature nowadays. With the Internet and electronic communication tools such as microblogs, mobile phones and QQ becoming increasingly widespread, a considerable number of people are more used to reading short context. They hold that, compared with long contents such as literature, these short ones are more convenient and time-saving. What's more, many students refuse to read long message such as literature in that they believe that literature is obsolete, boring and of little use in modern society. What they are fascinated with are the things related to high fashion, curiosity or novelty.
However, no one can disclaim the importance of reading literature. It enables people to enrich their knowledge and expand their horizons. Moreover, reading literature also inspires people tothink critically and independently. Last but not least, by spending time in reading literature, we can also develop and perfect human personality such as being patient and optimistic. Hence, why not just get out of the reality temporarily and spend some time on literature ? （244 words）
如圖所示，我們可以觀察到有一位老師和一個學生正站在教室裡。當這個女學生收到老師給的文學書本的時候，她顯得緊張而又不情願。觀察到女學生這種反應後，老師回應到："你只要把它想成是正在讀一條很長的簡訊就可以了。"
這幅漫畫告訴我們一個現象，那就是，相當多的學生，或者是年輕人如今都不太樂意閱讀文學作品。隨著諸如微博、手機和QQ這樣的網際網路或電子通訊工具變得越來越普及，大多數的人更加適應於閱讀短小的信息內容。他們認為，比起文學這樣的長篇內容，這些短小內容更加方便和省時。再者，相當多的學生拒絕閱讀文學作品是因為他們認為文學作品非常枯燥，並且在現代社會用處很小。他們著迷的是那些於時尚、新奇和新穎相關的事物。
然而，我們不能否認閱讀文學作品的重要性。它能使我們豐富知識，拓寬視野。而且，閱讀文學作品可以激發我們批判性地、獨立性地思考問題。最後，通過花時間在閱讀文學作品上，我們也可以發展和完善我們的人格，比如變得有耐心、樂觀。因此，我們威懾麼不可以暫時的遠離現實而花一些時間在文學上呢？
特別提示：那天，突發奇想，會不會考一個"人才流失-月亮還是外國的圓"這個話題？完全沒有理性根據的預測，只是憑藉直覺（instinct）的猜想；這道題目，也建議考生建議模仿"傳統文化流失"的模式，進行寫作。人才流失叫做"brain drain，直譯'大腦流出'";論述原因的時候，可以從：一、很多出國留學的學生認為國外的就業形勢更加理想，薪資更加豐厚，生活更加多元；二、他們認為國外的發展空間更大，而且對下一代而言，有更好的教育環境。最後一段，可以寫：國外在很多方面確實超過了國內，然而，一個人也不能忘記自己的祖國。只要個人努力，不管在那片土壤上，都可以獲得成功，過上幸福的生活。（就當翻譯試試吧。）
個人覺得這幅圖畫挺有意思的，可以提現出"人才流失"的味道，純屬娛樂哈！
F類：公德話題此類題目最近的題源是1998年"母雞下蛋"，論述商業領域過度承諾或者誠信缺失話題；此後，就未曾考察；當今社會，人情冷漠、"見老不扶"等現象多啊，也都提現了"人情冷，社會公德下滑"這一主題。是超級熱點，卻一直不考，因此考生也得準備。
Topic 10：The loss of social morality 社會公德流失
From the cartoon given above，we can observe that there are many people in a bus. When seeing that an elder man is entering into the bus, the old man near the seat just stands up instantly, saying" please have a seat here" and offers his seat to the elder one. However, all of the other people around,young and healty, show no intention of giving seats to the old and infirm man.
The cartoon aims at informing us of the phenomenon of the gradual loss of social morality. Quite a few people today are selfish and egocentric. when putting self-interest in the first place, they tend to overlook others' benefit or feelings and become nonchalant. Moreover, this phenomenon can also be attributed to people's concern that their social morality, which canbe best expressed through kindness, hospitality and warm-hearted behaviors,will sometimes invite unnecessary trouble.
However，no one can deny the importance of social morality. It is conducive to the harmony of society, people with the awareness of social morality are more likely to provide others with a helping hand, endeavor to abide by social orders and curb on their undesirable behaviors. Confronted with the inexorable decline in the emphasis of social ethics, The authorities should launch a large-scale educational campaign to create an atmosphere of respecting social ethics. Coinciding with this move, we ourselves should also enhance the consciousness of it. (241words)
根據上面所給的這幅漫畫，我們看到有很多人在bus上。當看到有個老者正進入車子，一旁的老人馬上站了起來，並說："請坐我的位置"然後把座位讓了出來。然而，周圍其餘的所有人，他們年輕而且健康，卻沒有顯示出任何想要給這位年長且虛弱的老人讓位的想法。
這幅漫畫旨在告訴我們一個現象，關於社會公德的逐漸缺失。現在相當多的人都很自私，以自我為中心。而當把自己的個人利益放在首位的時候，他們往往就會忽略別人的利益和感受並且變得冷漠。再者，這個現象也可以歸因於人們的某種擔心，他們擔心通過友善、熱忱和熱心的行為而得到良好展示的社會公德心，有些時候反倒會給他們帶來不必要的麻煩。
然而，沒有人可以忽略社會公德的重要性。它有利於社會和諧，擁有社會公德意識的人們更有可能為別人提供援助之手，努力地遵守社會規則並且約束自己的不良行為。面對對社會公德的重要性的不可抑制的下滑，政府應該開展大規模的教育運動來營造出一種尊重社會公德的氛圍。與此同時，我們自己也應該提高意識。
特別提示：鑑於篇幅所限，也不列舉類似的話題，包括：產品質量下滑（the quality decline of products）,
食品安全問題（food security），假冒偽劣產品（fake and inferior products），酒後駕駛（drunken driving）以及學術抄襲與作弊（academic plagiarism/ cheating此題在《英語（二）dian點睛十篇範文》最後一篇已經涉略，可以去看看）,盜版現象（piracy）。
這類話題比較辛辣，刺激得很，過於敏感，個人愚見，命題可能性不是非常大。不過到底會不會考，只待2014年1月4日考完才可蓋棺定論。
後記：
1.以上話題，標註"Topic+數字"的範文，可以背誦，至少熟讀，摘抄裡面的表達、單詞和論據；
2.其餘參考範文（真題重現），皆為對考研英語寫作命題精神的試探析，考前只需要預覽文章結構即可。
3. 十篇範文，如果都不中，且貽笑大方，也屬個人造詣不深，能力有限，望海涵！；但是依然希望相關表達可以在考試中運用出來。
4. 考前建議考生，一定要購買"考研英語答題卡"，（淘寶上搜索一下，一家廣東地區的店獨家有售）進行真題預演，熟悉答題卡樣式，提前適應考試環境；提前調試整個卷面的排版布局、字體安排、字跡間距、寫多少行空多少行、左右兩邊都要對齊。
5. 2013年開始的考研，答題卡從A4紙變成了更大的A3紙，反面整頁都是用來寫作文的，間距也較之以前增大了，
建議考生用黑色的、0.5mm或者0.7mm的水性筆、籤字筆答題；字不要寫的過小、過細，寫大，寫粗，方便閱卷。
以上範文，摘自北京新東方國內部無憂考研VIP一對一學員專用的《2014-2015考研英語寫作講義》的部分內容，望對您有用。
最後，預祝全國考生：金榜題名凌雲壯志氣貫長虹！
