Universal history, the history of what man has accomplished in this world, is at bottom the History of the Great Men who have worked here," wrote the Victorian sage Thomas Carlyle. Well, not any more it is not.
Suddenly, Britain looks to have fallen out with its favourite historical form. This could be no more than a passing literary craze, but it also points to a broader truth about how we now approach the past: less concerned with learning from forefathers and more interested in feeling their pain. Today, we want empathy, not inspiration. From the earliest days of the Renaissance, the writing of history meant recounting the exemplary lives of great men. In 1337, Petrarch began work on his rambling writing De Viris Illustribus - On Famous Men, highlighting the virtus (or virtue) of classical heroes. Petrarch celebrated their greatness in conquering fortune and rising to the top. This was the biographical tradition which Niccolo Machiavelli turned on its head. In The Prince, the championed cunning, ruthlessness, and boldness, rather than virtue, mercy and justice, as the skills of successful leaders. Over time, the attributes of greatness shifted. The Romantics commemorated the leading painters and authors of their day, stressing the uniqueness of the artist's personal experience rather than public glory. By contrast, the Victorian author Samual Smiles wrote Self-Help as a catalogue of the worthy lives of engineers , industrialists and explores . "The valuable examples which they furnish of the power of self-help, if patient purpose, resolute working and steadfast integrity, issuing in the formulation of truly noble and many character, exhibit,"wrote Smiles."what it is in the power of each to accomplish for himself." His biographies of James Walt, Richard Arkwright and Josiah Wedgwood were held up as beacons to guide the working man through his difficult life. This was all a bit bourgeois for Thomas Carlyle, who focused his biographies on the truly heroic lives of Martin Luther, Oliver Cromwell and Napoleon Bonaparte. These epochal figures represented lives hard to imitate, but to be acknowledged as possessing higher authority than mere mortals. Communist Manifesto. For them, history did nothing, it possessed no immense wealth nor waged battles: "It is man, real, living man who does all that." And history should be the story of the masses and their record of struggle. As such, it needed to appreciate the economic realities, the social contexts and power relations in which each epoch stood. For:"Men make their own history, but they do not make it just as they please; they do not make it under circumstances chosen by themselves, but under circumstances directly found, given and transmitted from the past." This was the tradition which revolutionized our appreciation of the past. In place of Thomas Carlyle, Britain nurtured Christopher Hill, EP Thompson and Eric Hobsbawm. History from below stood alongside biographies of great men. Whole new realms of understanding - from gender to race to cultural studies - were opened up as scholars unpicked the multiplicity of lost societies. And it transformed public history too: downstairs became just as fascinating as upstairs.

2012再次考查书信的写法,这已经是英语二在出台以来第三次考查书信,第一次考察感谢信,第二次考察祝贺信。此次考察投诉信。英语二作为和英语一并行的英语试卷,和英语一在保持主流体型一致的情况下,又不得不和英语一进行区别,考察了工作实用的投诉题材,体现了专业硕士的特点。不过这应用文考查的电子辞典却是常考话题,考生应该不会出现措手不及,无话可写的情况。和英语一样,仍然围绕学生能够接触到的学校生活的进行考察。
首先,根据题干要求明确写作对象,语域和结尾礼词。
本文的写作对象是即网店的客服部门或客服经理。所以称呼可以使用Dear Sir or Madam。本文是一篇以学生消费者名义写出的一篇投诉信,属于公务信函,写作过程中应尽量使用正式语体。 结尾礼词可以使用Yours sincerely/ Sincerely yours,署名要严格遵守题目要求,使用Zhang Wei.
其次,根据题目规定的话题,构思作文。此处通常是考生犯下致命错误的地方:漏掉题目要求的要点,这样的错误在阅卷过程中是要严重。1) make a complaint 2) demand a prompt solution. 另外,因为是网络购物,还应提供相应的发票信息等以供查询。
参考范文
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to express my disappointment regarding the electronic dictionary that I bought from your on-line store last week, with the invoice number of ED53407.
I have to complain about the poor quality of the dictionary. For one thing, the dictionary often automatically turns off at the very moment I am eager to see the word explanations. For another, it seems loose in the conjunction part. The screen part can not be properly settled.
Since the problems are unaccepted to me, I would like to get a refund or a new dictionary that can work well. Your prompt response will be highly appreciated.
Yours sincerely,
Zhang Wei
范文分析:
本篇范文很好地完成了题目规定的任务:陈述对产品进行投诉和要求厂家尽快给出解决方案,内容要点完整。文章开篇直奔主题,表达了写信目的,因为上周在网店买了一本电子辞典,使用后很失望,因要投诉。第二段具体列出了建议的产品在性能方面不能正常运转的具体方面,使用了必要连贯手法,比如For one thing, For another,之类的介词短语,让表达流畅有序、环环相扣。最后,针对出现的问题,要求退款或者更换产品,文章层次清晰,结构完整,语言流畅,句式丰富,达到了应用文的基本要求。
译文:
尊敬的先生/女士:
我写这封信是为了对于上周我从你们的网上商店购买的电子词典表达我失望,发票号码是ED53407。
我买的电子词典的质量很差,让我非常不满意。一方面,它经常在我急于浏览一个单词的解释的时候突然自动关机。另一方面,词典两个部分结合的部分好像很松,不能很好的支撑住屏幕部分。
既然这次点的问题都使我不能接受,我希望你们能够为我办理退款,或者给我更换一台新的功能良好的词典。希望能这问题能够得到尽快的解决。
忠诚的客户,
张 伟

Directions:
Write an essay based on the following table. In your writing, you should
1) describe the table, and
2) give your comments.
You should write at least 150 words.
Write your essay on ANSWER SHEET 2. (15 points)
审题谋篇:
考研英语二短短3年的历史上,基本上都考察图表作文。图标作文的类型基本可以分为table(表格)、line graph(曲线图)、bar chart/column graph(条形图/柱形图)、pie chart(饼图)四种。其中2010年考察柱状图,2011年还是柱状图,2012年考察表格作文。可见四种体型在未来几年都有可能涉及。而从话题上来讲,2010年考察手机订阅数据,2011年考察中国市场外资和国产汽车品牌的销售数据,2012年考察不同年龄段职场人士工作满意度的调查数据。
1 描述图表。图表类型及对策。表格作文有一定的难度,所以不少考生在表格图这部分栽了跟头.表格中数字较多,考生要很好的完成任务需要做到详略得当。表格数据凌乱、繁多,图形不够直观、数据间的关系较为隐蔽。这就要求考生有较强的判断与分析能力,在复杂的数据中进行量化比较和趋向分析,得到一个一般性的结论(general idea)。本题员工满意度的人群分类是按年龄段来区分的,并且这几个年龄段的工作满意度呈现不同的趋势,可以把年龄作为一个突破口来分析得出年龄越大满意度越大这样的一般性结论。
2.对图表内容进行论述。
针对本篇文章具体结论,可以在论证部分进行出现上述趋势的原因。 工作满意度高或低的原因可以从工作本身以及社会背景和个人人生态度等方面来论证。
最后需要说明的是,无论何种表格,对于数据都可以进行加减乘除的运算,其目的是算出增减规律。这样做就避免了表格作文中简单地数据罗列,既可以使文章的描写手段变化多样,又能得到更好的对比效果。
参考范文:
The table above revealed an overall picture of job satisfaction among employment of different age groups. Based upon the data of the table, most people under 40 are unclear or dissatisfied with their job, and 64% of those between 40 and 50 are not satisfied. For people over 50, the degree of satisfaction largely exceeds the younger groups under 40, amounting to 40%.
The phenomenon that elder people find more pleasure in job compared with the young may be rooted in the following reasons. First, people between 30 and 50 face more pressure to support the family, both the children and the senior, so that they neglect to enjoy in work. Second, the senior citizens have developed a lot in personality, so they are more prone to see the optimistic aspects of the work. Last, the current family pattern of "one family one Child" cause the aging of the society, which has posed more social responsibility to people under 50.
To sum up, the senior citizens enjoys more content than the young people. In order to improve this situation, and make life of those who are between 40s and 50s easier, the authorities, relevant departments and certain enterprises, should adopt some measures to increase salaries and perfect welfare system. What's more, adults under 40 themselves should also treat their work with a positive and proper attitude and spare more time on physical practice after long-hour work. Only in this way can we assure that as many people as possible will live a contented life.
