（一）预测范文

As is vividly portrayed in the cartoon above, wearing a formal black suit and a stripe tie, a boss is sitting in front of a desk and speaking to his female secretary with a report in her hands. It is obvious that the implication of the drawing is to show us that the cultural exchanges among different nations have reached a rather deep level.

The fact that people from different countries are attracted to many other cultures indicates that to some extent a culture can be accepted, respected, appreciated and shared internationally. In other words, a nation’s distinctive culture can become international through worldwide economic and cultural exchanges. Since the trend of globalization becomes irresistible, the increasing cultural exchanges can effectively improve mutual understanding and friendship among different cultures.

It is my view that a national culture as a priceless spiritual treasure should be preserved and cherished. Meanwhile, there are good reasons to advocate international cultures, for those ideas from other cultures can provide a different perspective for us to observe the world in the long run.

（二）参考译文

上图生动描述的情景是，一位老板穿着正式的黑色西装，系着条纹领带，正坐在办公桌前和手拿一份报告的女秘书聊天。显而易见，这幅图的寓意是想告诉我们：如今不同国家之间的文化交流已经达到了很深的程度。

不同国家的人们会被许多其他文化所吸引这一事实表明，在某种程度上一种文化可以在国际范围内被接受、尊重、欣赏和分享。换言之，一个民族独特的文化可以通过全球性的经济和文化交流走向世界。由于全球化潮流不可阻挡，因此日益频繁的文化交流可以有效地增进不同文化间的相互理解和友谊。

在我看来，我们应该保存和珍惜作为无价精神财富的民族文化。同时，我们很有必要推广世界文化，因为从长远来看，来自其他文化的观点可以为我们观察这个世界提供一种不同的视角。

（四）道长点评

国内考试写作部分已经两次考查“文化交流”或“文化融合”这一话题，分别是：2002年考研写作“文化交流”和2010年考研英语（一）写作“文化融合”。2015年，北京获得2022年冬奥会主办权，中医药学家屠呦呦获得诺贝尔生理医学奖，因此这一话题有可能再次成为文化类的热点话题，希望考生予以重视。
