●审题概述●

这是一道图表题。首先要看懂图表，从中找出规律。这幅图是关于研究生入学考试考生人数的变化。可以看出1997——2002和2002——2007这两段时间段中人数增加的趋势有所不同。重点分析这一变化的原因。

　　【范文】

This graph is about the increase of the numbers of people taking part in the 1entrance exams for graduate schools. From it we can see that during the first five years, from 1997 to 2002, the change is gradual. In 1997 there were 500,000 people, while in 2002 there were 1,500,000, showing an increase of one million people. But during the second five years, from 2002 to 2007, the growth is sharp——2.5 million, with 4 million people sitting the exams in 2007.

The reasons for this change may be as follows. First, 1999 was the starting year of 1the college expansion plan, which obviously means that after four years, in 2003, more students graduated from universities and colleges. Secondly, as the competition to find a satisfactory job has become more severe in recent years, to be equipped with a higher degree improves the chances of applicants finding a better job. Thirdly, not only new graduates feel the competition but also some people who already have a job. In order to get a promotion or to perform better in their jobs, lots of them returned to the 2battle field to fight for better career prospects.
