二、惊天重合：史上第三大难题（1）

道长：史上第三大难题——2002年考研写作考的是什么？

小波妞：道长上节课刚讲过，好像是美国小女孩穿中国服装，主题是文化交流吧？啊呀！2010年的考题文化融合与2002年的文化交流不是类似的意思吗？

道长拊掌大笑：孺子可教也！文化融合就是文化交流，2010年完全是2002年旧题重考，热锅炒冷饭而已，也可以写成文化交流。

小波妞颇为不解：为什么会原题重考呢？

道长：考研命题是一件非常严肃的事情，影响到上百万人的命运，国家异常重视。一般不会随意考查从未考查过的、没有把握的话题，而历年经典真题才是最可靠、最保险的借鉴来源，这就是为什么历年写作真题反复重考的根源所在！

小波妞：那岂不是背熟历年真题范文，考研写作易如反掌？

道长：然也！即使不是原题重考，背过的核心写作词汇、词组、句型也可以使用。让我们来看一下2002年教育部考试中心《考试分析》中公布的当年全国第一、写作状元的20分作文以及全国第二、写作榜眼的18分作文。这两篇作文已在国内流传多年，只要考生2010年考前背过，写作不在话下。下面这些黑体字、尤其是第二、三两段在2010年作文中完全可以使用。不幸的是，很少有人重视，更别提背过。先来看当年的20分范文，你把文章翻译一下。

This is a very interesting picture of a lovely American girl dressed in traditional Chinese costume with a sweet smile on her face. She wears a pearl necklace, colorful ribbons, ear rings, and other accessories that are characteristic of the clothes of a Chinese minor nationality. It is obvious that as a result of our open-door policy, more and more foreigners visit China and become interested in our national culture, which is making it go international.

There is no reason to make a fuss about this phenomenon. With the rapid development of technology and economy, the world is becoming smaller and smaller, and international cultural exchanges have become more and more frequent, which is inevitably improving our mutual understanding and friendship with other countries.

As Chinese citizens, we should respect our own national culture and learn useful things from the cultures of different nations, which will enable us to make great progress in many ways. I believe a happy and bright future is awaiting us if we make every effort to promote cultural development both nationally and internationally.
