问题     When hunting for a job, many people have encountered such a situation when experience is particularly required. It would seem that newly graduated students are doomed to have no job and thus have no experience all their life. But sometimes people who lack experience are free to imagine what is possible and thus can approach a task without constraints of established habits and attitudes. Do you think one of them is definitely advantageous over the others? Write an essay of about 400 words. You should supply an appropriate title for your essay.
    In the first part of your essay you should state clearly your main argument, and in the second part you should support your argument with appropriate details. In the last part you should bring what you have written to a natural conclusion or make a summary.
    Marks will be awarded for content, organization, grammar and appropriateness. Failure to follow the above instructions may result in a loss of marks.

答案 Imagination and Experience Enjoy Respective Merits For many occupations and tasks, imagination leads to creative thinking and solutions that may be beyond the ken of someone with years of experience in that particular field. There are, however, times when the reverse is also true. Therefore, neither enjoys absolute advantages over the other. They deserve equal attention. One example that immediately comes to mind is that of the superiority of new computer software programmers. The computer software producing companies want to hire the latest graduates that have only the basic programming skills and abilities - and the creative ideas that may not have been presented to the industry before. The latest and most creative ideas come almost exclusively from the imaginations of fresh talent lacking any formal experience with computer software companies. Another example that occurs frequently with management and human resources in business is the idea of forming cross-functional task forces to solve problems that arise in the course of doing business. Management creates cross-functional task forces by choosing individuals across several different functional areas, such as the marketing, finance, human resources and accounting departments, to form a team that will address the particular dilemma facing the company. The idea is to invite the idea of "thinking outside of the box", or looking beyond the normal solutions. Politicians give maybe the prime example of the battle between the comparative merits of imagination versus that of experience. The classic battle lines are formed when a new challenger with no political experience faces an incumbent politician with perhaps decades of experience. The newcomer will focus his or her campaign on imagination as he or she attempts to generate new ideas to solve either the age-old problems of government or newly arisen crises. The wizened old politician will focus his campaign and the issues in such a way as to maximize his experience in politics as the prerequisite for an elected leader. Generally, a given voting population opposes change. Therefore in politics, in the absence of problems that obviously require imagination and fresh ideas, the candidate with the greater experience will probably have the edge, all other things being equal. It goes without saying that in some cases imagination can be a much greater asset than ex-perience. What would the state of technology in the world be today without the imagination and ingenuity of Thomas Alva Edison, as an individual example? Similarly, experience has its irreplaceable merits, thus being worthy of equal attention.
解析     本文构思十分巧妙，作者没有走入极端，盲目支持想象力或经验的重要性，而是采用分情况讨论的策略，分别论述各自在不同领域中不可磨灭的价值。如第二段提到的软件开发领域、第三段中的公司管理领域、第四段中的政治领域等，都恰如其分地说明了二者的特有优势。另外，开头段中简明扼要地摆出论证要点，结尾段中的问句引起反思等写作手法，都是考生应当借鉴的。
