2022年9月公布了23考研英语的新大纲，其中大作文新增加了样题，引起了很多考生的恐慌。从表面看文字内容增加了很多，但只要细读，其实与往年的命题规律差别不大，只是在写作思路上稍作调整。

52. Directions: Read the following excerpt from an article and write an essay. In your essay, you should explain whether or to what extent you agree with the author. Support your argument with reasons and relevant examples. Write your answer in 160-200 words on the ANSWER SHEET. (20points)

Many of us, whatever our field of work, fear that showing uncertainty can damage our image—and we may compensate by expressing overconfidence in an attempt to win trust. But in many situations people are willing to trust those who can admit they don’t have a definitive answer. Recent studies found that communicating uncertainty and even admitting our mistakes is not harmful and can even be beneficial to trustworthiness. So failure in “expertise” can be compensated by higher integrity and benevolence.When communicating uncertainty in a transparent way, we are perceived as less biased and willing to tell the truth.

即便文字材料较长，我们只需要像读阅读文章那样，找到观点句即可，即承认不确定或者不足，有助于建立信任，没必要强装过于自信。考生要在开头段总结文章观点，并表达自己的观点立场，也就是同意或者不同意。因为，开头段写法与以往差别较大。但中间段万变不离其宗，同样是论证自己的观点，论证方式仍以“因果论证，正反论证和例证”为主。参考范文如下：

This is a simple but thought-provoking excerpt from an article, in which the author illustrates that communicating uncertainty and even admitting one's mistakes is not harmful and can even help to gain trust. I completely agree with this idea.

It is understandable for some people to believe that pretending to be confident can earn more trust because having quick, confident answers is often seen as a mark of proficiency. However, it is more convincing for me that integrity is indispensable for fostering trust. First, telling the truth shows a willingness to openly express your feelings and private thoughts, which not only encourages others to interact, but also deepens friendships and relationships. Moreover, a humble person who admits the lack of knowledge proves helpful to gain trust. Last but not least, if one merely pretends to know what he does not know, this ridiculous behavior may constitute an obstacle that hinders his progress and growth in career, life and learning.

To sum up , when communicating with friends, classmates and colleagues, everyone should bear in mind that no one is perfect and no one knows everything. Under most circumstances, the act of admitting that you don't have all the answers and the readiness to seek the help of others can inspire greater trust within your team and would yield better results.
