2008年的考研英语作文的题目可以用“波澜不惊”来形容，充分体现了命题者一贯稳重的风格。
图画作文中场景是：两个独腿的人在相互配合下前进。一眼就能看出它反映的主题是社会的一个时髦话题—“合作”，或者“团队精神”。要说去年图画作文的寓意设计得有一定难度，今年内涵是十分明确的，跑题的人应该是寥寥无几，完全控制在合理的范围内。今年图画作文给人的总体感觉是：主题鲜明，时代感强。
我记得很清楚，我在年底课堂的板书上写过“team spirit”（团队精神）这个关键词。《“考试虫”八套模拟试卷》中第四（二）卷的作文题目是Cooperation. 现作为范文刊登出来，供大家参考：
范文：
Cooperation
If we want to complete our work effectively and efficiently in this busy, modern world, we must all learn to cooperate with others. As the cartoon shows, if we lose our partner, then we will fail as well.
This lesson in cooperation may seem rather simple, as most people are taught that they should cooperate when they are children in school. However, many people still make the mistake by the men in the picture: they believe others must fail for their own success. Supposing that a company leader assigns two workers to do a project together, and both of them impatiently are waiting for a promotion. The two believe they must beat their “enemy” to win the promotion. To achieve this they may do things to make their partner in unfavorable position, such as interrupting their work whenever they can. In the end, without realizing it, they have ruined their own project, too. So, for our common benefit, we ought to be cooperative. Additionally, cooperation can save us a lot of time and energy if each person handles the tasks that they do best.
It can be difficult to be cooperative with someone you dislike. In such a situation, just sit calmly and clear your mind for a minute. Focus style=\"MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt; TEXT-INDENT: 21pt; mso-char-indent-count: 2.0; mso-char-indent-size: 10.5pt\">全篇244词，稍加调整，就可变成今年作文，这才是真正的“原题命中”！
