3 (2009·江苏) 鼠标是计算机时代最佳的人机交互工具之一。它极大地方便了人们的计算机操作。但是,过分依赖鼠标的习惯也会带来一些不利影响。请你以鼠标为切入点,根据下表所提示的信息,用英语写一篇短文。
鼠标的必要性 对多数人来说,操作计算机,上网冲浪…… 鼠标的便捷性 点击、移动、插入、拷贝、删除…… 编辑文本,搜索信息…… 收发邮件,选购商品…… 点播音乐,下载电影…… 如果过分依赖鼠标……(请考生结合自身感受,列举两到三点)
注意:1.对所给要点逐一陈述,适当发挥,不要简单 翻译。 2.词数150左右。开头已经写好,不计入总词数。 The mouse is a most effective device used by people to communicate with a computer. 【参考范文】 For most people,it’s almost impossible to operate a computer without a mouse,let alone
surf the Internet.A well-chosen mouse is really handy,flexible and convenient in controlling the screen.With the functions of inserting,deleting, moving and copying,it enables us to edit text, browse web pages and download what we want. It can also help us email people,shop online and find friends around the world.A simple click can even bring us a flood of music,movies and PC games.Just imagine,all this can be done with a cute mouse.
A convenient tool can certainly make our work easier,but it doesn’t always help in a posi-tive way.Too much ready information on our fin-gertips leaves little room for knowledge pursu-ing. Too many ready answers make us less exc-ited in finding truth.Relying too much on mouse clicking makes us lazier and less creativeboth mentally and physically.
4 (2009·北京) 假设你是红星中学高三一班的学生李华,为响 应绿化祖国的号召,你班四月十二日去郊区植树。请根据以下四幅图的先后顺序,介绍植树活动的全过程,给某英文杂志的“绿色行动”专栏写一篇以 “Green Action in Our Class”为题的英文稿件。 注意:词数不少于60。 提示词:郊区suburbs
【参考范文】 Green Action in Our Class April 12 is memorable because our class had a meaningful experience on that day.In the morning,we bicycled to the suburbs to plant trees,talking and laughing all the way.Upon arri-val, we began to work immediately.Some were digging holes.Some were carrying and planting young trees.Others were watering them.After getting the work done,we put up a board rem-inding people to protect the trees.Before leaving
we took some photos to record our green action we took some photos to record our green action. Seeing the lines of trees,we all had a sense of achievement.We feel it’s our duty to protect and beautify our environment.
书面表达按体裁一般分为记叙文、议论文、说明 文、描写文和应用文。 应用文多有一定的格式,其实,其他体裁的作文 也都有些可以套用的样板,犹如工厂里的模具一样。 熟悉和掌握这些模板,可提高文章的条理性,避免文 章思绪紊乱。好好利用这些“制胜法宝”吧。 记叙文 记叙文主要包括记人、记事和记叙某一场面等。 这三种记叙文的模板分别是:
1.记人的模板 记人的文章一般包括以下四个方面的内容: (1)Background information(such as name, gender,birth,age,education,family,occupation, place of work,etc.)背景信息,诸如姓名、性别、出 生信息、年龄、教育、家庭、职业、工作地点等。 (2)Big events in his or her life(in order of time)人生中的大事件(按时间顺序)。 (3)His/Her special features(such as career, interests,hobbies,rewards,contributions)他/她 的特色(如职业生涯、兴趣、爱好、获奖情况、 贡献等)。
(4)Evaluation评价。 此类文章的基本模式为: 人物+is a(n) famous/well-known/male/female actor/athlete/scientist/astronaut of years old.He/ She was born in...He/She became interested in when he/she was only/because...He/She began his/her training at the age of...He/She got the 1st/2nd...prize.He/She also won...He/She is especiallypopular with...He/She is one of my favourite actors/athletes/scientists/astronauts...
2.记事的模板 记事的文章一般包括这样三个部分: (1)Setting the Scene Describe the time,place,weather.Say what the main character was doing. (2)Development of the story Describe the main action. (3)Conclusion Describe the scene at the end and mention themain characters’ feelings. 这类记叙文的模板如下: One (it was fine/raining/cloudy).I was doing
sth. when,suddenly,sth.happened. So first I and...Then I...Meanwhile,...Finally... The boy was taken to hospital and was saved. The next day...What a happy/terrible/busy/plea- sant day... 记叙文写作的注意事项: (1)主题要明确,内容要充实。文中的故事要有头 有尾,要有高潮。 (2)记叙文可围绕5W(who,what,when,where,why, how)展开。 (3)主次分明,详略得当。叙述时,主题要鲜明, 要善于抓住典型事例。
议论文 议论文形式主要有立论型、驳论型、列举型、利 弊型,这四种模板分别是: 1.立论型 立论型议论文是指自己提出论点,并加以证明的议论文。其模式为: It is well-known/As we all know+论点.Why? Firstly...(supporting sentences) Secondly... (supp-orting sentences)Thirdly...(supporting sentences)Finally...(supporting sentences) Conclusion:Therefore/Thus/In a word/To concl-ude +论点(再次点题,但通常适当转换表达).
2.驳论型 驳论型议论文是指对某一错误论点给予驳斥,并 提出自己的论点并加以证明的议论文。其模式为: Some people think that.../It is commonly believed that+错误观点.But it is not true/I don’t agree.In my opinion,+正确论点.Why?Firstly...(su- pporting sentences)Secondly...(supporting sentences)Thirdly...(supporting sentences)Finally...(supporting sentences)Conclusion:Therefore/ Thus/In a word/To conclude+论点(再次点题,但 通常适当转换表达).
3.列举型(选择型) 模式一:According to a survey/our recent discussion,people have different opinions over... (或There was a survey/discussion about...)50% think that观点一(supporting sentences).On the other hand,about 30% argue that观点二(support- ing sentences)Another 20% believe that...As to me,自己的观点(supporting sentences). 模式二:提出某种现象(如:Nowadays few people pay attention to dealing with waste batt- eries.)A majority of people think that
观点一.In their views there are 2 factors contrib- uting to this attitude as follows:in the first place, 原因一.Furthermore,in the second place,原因二. So it goes without saying that观点一. People, however,differ in their opinions on this matter. Some people hold the idea that观点二.In their views,on the one hand, 原因一.On the other hand,原因二.Therefore,there is no doubt that... As far as I am concerned,I firmly support the view that...It is not only because...but also because...The more...the more...
4.利弊型 Nowadays,there is a widespread concern over(the issue that)作文题目.In fact,there are both advantages and disadvantages in题目议题. Generally speaking,it is widely believed there are several positive aspects as follows.Firstly,优点一. And secondly优点二. Just as a popular saying goes,“every coin has two sides”,讨论议题is no exception,and in another word,it still has negative aspects.To begin with,缺点一.In addition,缺点二. In my opinion/I think...+自己的观点.
议论文应该做到:观点明确,论据充分,语言精 炼,论证合理,思维严密。写作注意事项: (1)把握好议论文的三要素,即:论点、论据和 论证方法。论点要明确,论据要充分,论证要严密。 (2)选用合适的论证方法。常用的论证方法有: 归纳法(从分析典型,即分析个别事物入手,找出事物的共同特点,然后得出结论)、推理法(从一般原理出发,对个别事物进行说明、分析,尔后得出结论)、对照法(把正反两方面进行对照,然后加以分析,得出结论)、驳论法(先列出错误的观点,然后加以逐条批驳,最后阐明自己的观点)等。
(3)掌握议论文的一般结构。议论文一般由引子、 正文和结论句三部分组成。一般在引子部分提出论点,即文章的主题,在正文部分摆出有利的事实,对论点进行严密的论证,最后根据前面的论证得出结论。 (4)层次要清楚,态度要诚恳,做到以理服人。
说明文 说明文可根据其内容不同分为说明现象型、说明步骤型、说明利弊型以及说明图表型等。鉴于内容上的不同,其表现形式也大不相同。他们的模板分别为: 1.说明现象型 Nowadays/Recently(what amazes us most is) +现象...(supporting sentences).There are many/ several reasons for this.The main reason is...Se- condly...Thirdly...As a result...There are many advantages/disadvantages.For one thing...,for another...Then how to solve the problem?There
are several ways/We can take some measures to solve it. Firstly are several ways/We can take some measures to solve it.Firstly...Secondly...Thirdly...In conclusion... 此类说明文写作时,要善于挖掘深层的东西,如 该现象反映的问题、导致该种现象的原因、如何解决(措施、方法)等。 2.说明步骤型 First of all/Firstly...Then/Secondly...Thirdly/ After that...Fourthly...Finally...
3.说明利弊型 Nowadays many people prefer A because it has a significant role in our daily life.Generally,its advantages can be seen as follows.First(A的优点之一).Besides/What’s more(A的优点之二). But every coin has two sides.It also has some disadvantages.The important one is(A的第一个 缺点).To make matters worse,(A的第二个缺点).
4.说明图表型 As is shown/indicated/illustrated by the figure/percentage in the table(graph/picture/ chart),作文题目的议题has been on rise/decrease(goesup/increases/drops/decreases),significantly/dramatically/steadily rising/decreasing from...to...From the sharp/marking decline/rise in the chart,it goes without saying that. There are at least two good reasons accounting for...On the one hand...On the other
hand,. is due to the fact that. In addition,. is responsible for hand,...is due to the fact that...In addition,...is responsible for...Maybe there are some other reasons to show...But it is generally believed that the above mentioned reasons are commonly convincing. As far as I am concerned,I hold the point of view that...I am sure my opinion is both sound and well-grounded. 说明文写作时应注意: (1)限制要说明的事物和范围; (2)可适当举例加以说明,以增加说服力; (3)说明文的结构可遵循引子、正文、结束语的模式。
描写文 描写文有人物描写、物体描写、场景描写和空间 描写之分。各种描写的模板为: 1.人物描写 He/She is XXX years old.He/She is XXX tall with a pair of glasses.He/She likes to wear some beard/a flower.He/She is a handsome/little/ charming man/woman with a strong will/great determination/wearing...She is a talkative/lazy girl.She never gets up before seven and always goes to bed before nine.He is a teacher with great patience,always ready to help you whenever you have a problem.
描写人物外貌和性格特征的常用词汇有: Features(外貌):good looking;funny looking; ugly looking;ordinary looking;white haired;tall; short;pretty;naughty;smart;wise,etc. Characters(个性品质):bright;diligent;lazy; healthy;humorous;charming;attractive;talkative; warm-hearted;kind-hearted;absent-minded; bad-tempered;near-sighted;far-sighted;a strong will;confident;independent;patient,etc.
2.物体描写 物体描写与人物描写有很多相同之处,但也有不 同的地方。其模板如下: I have a(n)...It is red/large/round/square.It is made of...It is about...long/wide/in height.It was bought...It dates back to...On the top of it there is... 3.场景描写和空间描写 场景描写和空间描写应有一定的顺序,或由远及 近,或由近及远;也可由东至西或由西至东;还可从上到下或从下到上,等等。 场景描写和空间描写通常使用的表示方位的词语有:
(1)where;in which;to which;from which,etc. (2)under;over;inside;beside;on top of,etc. (3)along;through;as far as,etc. (4)north;northern;south;southern,etc. (5)to the left;to the right;to the north,etc. (6)at the back;in front;in the middle;in the (far) distance,etc. 描写文写作的注意事项: (1)围绕主题,选好描写细节。写作时首先应该 围绕主题精心选择能刻画人物或事物的特征及使人们对其产生深刻印象的细节,不要面面俱到。
(2)顺序恰当。描写文的写法多种多样,但也有 其一般的规律。如:写人时要由上到下,由表及里;写景时要由近及远,写物时要由总体到局部,由主到次,切忌杂乱无章。 (3)努力运用生动形象的语言。描写时要借助形 容词,使我们所接触的人或物具体、形象地表达出 来。为了使文章更生动,要适当运用形容词的同义 词,或名词派生的形容词和副词等,避免重复和单调。 (4)灵活运用修辞手法。根据需要恰当地运用比 喻、拟人、夸张等修辞手法,使描述更生动、形象,更好地说明问题。 (5)正确使用时态。写描写文所用的谓语动词时 态常用现在时。
应用文 应用文在日常生活中使用的频率较高,也非常实 用。下面介绍几种常见应用文的写作模板: 1.口头通知 模块:称呼语(Ladies and gentlemen/Comr- ades/Friends/Boys and girls,etc.)+(May I have your)Attention,please?+正文部分+结束语(That’sall.Thank you.)。 2.致辞 致辞包括欢迎辞、欢送辞、告别辞及演说辞等, 其与口头通知有相似之处,但也有不同之处。其模块如下:
称呼语(Ladies and gentlemen/Comrades/ Friends/Boys and girls,etc.)+开场白(即客套话) +正文+结束语。 开场白常使用的客套话有: Welcome to our school/factory... Give a warm welcome to Mr. Brown. We feel greatly(very) honoured to see (meet/ be with) Professor Smith. You are welcome. We are glad/pleased to meet/see you here.
It gives us great pleasure to get together with our honourable guest from the United States. Please permit me,on behalf of the Chinese people,to extend our heartfelt greetings to you. 常用的结束语有: Wish you a good journey.Thank you. Wish you a good time.Thanks. Wish him the best of health and success. Looking forward to seeing him again.
Let’s give our best regards and respects to Mr. John. 3.书信、假条和便条 英文信,特别是私人信件,通常包括以下五个 部分: (1)信头(heading) 包括写信人的地址和日期,通常放在信笺的右上 角,顺序是先写地址,后写日期。
(2)称呼(salutation) 称呼一般以Dear或My dear...开头,正式信函多 使用“Mr./Mrs./Miss+姓氏”。 (3)正文(body) 正文要求文字简明达意,层次分明,字迹清楚。 信件通常使用“Thank you for your letter of...”开头,然后再就有关问题陈述自己的观点。 (4)谦称和结束语(complimentary close) 信尾常用Sincerely yours/Yours sincerely,在 不太熟悉而应该客气的人之间常用Truly
yours/Yours truly,在亲密的亲友之间常用Yours affectionately/Affectionately yours/Yours,等等。 常用的结束语有:With best wishes谨祝安好; With kindest regards谨致最诚挚的问候;Give my love/regards to...向……问好等。 (5)签名(signature) 签名的位置是在谦称语下面一行至两行。正式信 件的签名要全姓名。 假条、便条的写作基本同书信,只是比书信简洁 些。
4.日记 日记包括以下三个部分: (1)日期和星期(date and day) 这一项要求写在日记标题的下一行,顶格。日记的 写法要符合英文习惯,月、日、年后再写星期几(一般星期不用缩写形式)。例如:2009年9月18日星期二,写成September 18th,2009,Tuesday,年可以省去。 (2)天气情况(weather) 这一项应写在日期和星期的同一行稍靠右的地方。表示天气的词有:fine,sunny,cloudy,cold,cool, snowy,foggy(有雾的),rainy,warm,stormy(有暴雨的)等。 (3)正文(body)
5.书面通知、启事、海报 书面通知常用A Notice或An Announcement为 题目。正文部分开门见山,直接点出主题。最后要有落款,写明出通知的时间和出通知的人或单位,时间也可写在正文的右上角。 启事分为失物启事和招领启事。写法与书面通知 大体相同,只是标题为LOST或FOUND,正文也要尽量简洁、明了。 海报的格式较灵活,一般没有太严格的要求,其 布局设计要尽量新颖,以便引人注目。但一般活动内容、时间、地点不放在同一行。例如:
Place:In the Auditorium Time:Sat. Oct. 1st, 6∶30—8∶10 p.m. (1) (2) Movie:Hamlet Place:In the Auditorium Time:Sat. Oct. 1st, 6∶30—8∶10 p.m. Admission Free Basketball Match On Playing Court #1 Class 10,Grade 2 VS Class 18,Grade 3 Time:Mon. June 6th,5∶00 p.m.
汉语式英语,逐字翻译 假如你是一名中学生,名叫方华,根据下表内容 用英语写信给某谈话节目的主持人开心姐姐,请求她 帮助你解决一个长期困扰你的问题:如何与同桌交流 、沟通。 你的情况 喜欢与同学交谈,乐于助人 你同桌的情况 学习勤奋,遵守纪律;性格内向,很少与人交流、沟通;有时爱发脾气
注意:1.开头已写好,不计入总词数; 2.可适当发挥,使文章更连贯; 3.词数120~150。 Dear Kai Xin, I’m a middle school student.
无论是平时的考试,还是高考,考生利用汉语的思维方式直接把内容要点逐字翻译成英语的现象屡见不鲜。碰到这样的作文,阅卷人至多象征性地给出一个分数。例如,将“学习成绩好,喜欢与同学交谈,乐于助人”直接翻译成“Study mark is good,enjoy talking with classmates,ready to help others.”这种让人无法理解的英语表达方式,实在让人“不敢恭维”。
【解题探究】在写作中,考生应始终有用完整的语句表达内容要点的意识,切忌把内容要点逐字逐句地翻译成英语。建议考生先打草稿,然后仔细检查草稿中是否存在利用汉语思维直接将要点逐字翻译成英文的现象,尤其是语句中是否缺少谓语部分以及修饰性成分的处理是否得当等,待确认正确无误后,再工整地誊写到试卷上。 【参考范文】 Dear Kai Xin, I’m a middle school student.I’m doing well in my studies,and ready to help others.At school I
like to talk with my classmates.However,I have a problem that troubles me all the time.It is the relationship between my deskmate and me. My deskmate is a hard-working student.He Is introverted and cross and doesn’t like talking with others.I don’t know how to communicate with him.We seldom exchange feelings and thoughts.I hope we can know more about each other and understand each other better.I do hope we’ll be closer.What can I do? Yours, Fang Hua
要点不全,审题不准 (2008·天津)假设2008年2月12日是你父亲的生日,下面三幅图描绘的是你给父亲买完礼物后乘坐地铁回家时经历的一件事。请根据图示,用英语写一篇日记记叙这件事,并谈谈自己的感受。 注意:1.词数不少于100; 2.可适当加入细节,以使行文连贯。 参考词汇:地铁(列车)subway train
第一幅图画中右上角的日历、三幅图画中人物的 表情以及第三幅图画中老人所说的“谢谢啦”都是信 息点。当然,三幅图画上方的文字说明部分“在回家 的地铁上”、“下一站”和“约1分钟后”更不能遗漏。 此外,图画中“你”所拿的提包、老人手中的两个行 李箱和列车上拥挤的人群都是细节内容,不容忽视。 由于三幅图画是一个连环画,叙述的是事情的整个过 程,所以应当使用恰当的关联词进行衔接。如果语句 之间缺乏必要的过渡成分,整篇文章会显得杂乱无章。
【解题探究】要点齐全是高考评分标准的基本要求之 一,写作过程中切忌遗漏内容要点,三幅图中人物手 中的物品、列车中拥挤的人群,甚至图画中人物的表 情都是很重要的内容要点,行文中应该涉及。另外, 图画上方的文字说明部分以及第三幅图画中出现的三 个字也必须体现在短文中。同时语意连贯是高考评分 标准的基本要求之一,因此语句之间不能缺少必要的 关联词。
【参考范文】 February 12th, 2008 Today was my father’s birthday.I got on the subway train after I had bought the present.And when I was on the subway train,I imagined the situation where I gave the present to my father, and my father would be very happy. On the next station,there was a lady who had no seat in the front of me.She also had two heavy bags.After a minute,I stood up and gave the seat to her.She was very happy and appreciate.She said“Thank you!”to me,which made me feel proud. Today was best.I felt the fun to help other people.
逻辑不清,不能正确使用关联词 (2008·辽宁)假设你是李华,准备参加学校举办 的主题为“健康成长”的英语作文比赛。请按要求写一篇短文,主要内容包括: 1.乐观的人生态度; 2.努力学习; 3.参加体育锻炼。 生词:态度 attitude 注意:1.词数100左右; 2.可以适当增加细节,以使行文连贯。
写作要求中所给出的三个内容要点是并列关系,不 存在主次之分,行文过程中不宜打乱要点顺序。使用 关联词语时,要根据要点之间的关系进行确定。另外, 要注意first,second,third等和firstly,secondly, thirdly等前后要保持一致,不可混合使用。此外,不能 使用on the other hand,因为on the one hand...on the other(hand)...表示“一方面……另一方面……”, 表示的是同一事物的两个对立面。
【解题探究】写作要点中只给出了三个要点,写作中不能仅仅满足于涵盖这三个内容要点,还要适当发挥,阐述之所以这么做的原因或意义。由于三个内容要点之间是并列关系,表述时应按其先后顺序,不必另行调整,以免造成逻辑混乱。在使用关联词语时,应考虑并列类或递进类,不可错用其他类关联词语。
【参考范文】 We all want to grow up happily and healthily, and for this goal we must do several things. Firstly, we should develop a good attitude to life.Life consists of not only sunshine but also hard times.We should be brave in front of diffi- culties.Secondly, we must study hard because knowledge is power.If we have the power,we can help to build our country and enjoy life better. In order to study well, we need to do sports so that we can keep fit.We can go runn-ing, play ball games or simply take a walk after a day’s study. If we do those things well, we will be able to grow up happily and healthily.
基础知识不牢,语法混用 假如你是英才高中将要毕业的高三学生李华,想去香港大学(the University of Hong Kong)学习,因此你打算写一封电子邮件,就相关事宜进行咨询。 内容要点: 1.你对环境科学(Environmental Science)很感兴趣,如何才能够被该大学的相关专业录取; 2.是否需要参加专门的英语考试; 3.该校的奖学金、学费、食宿安排和生活费用等 情况。
注意:1.邮件必须包含以上所有内容,可适当增 加细节; 2.词数120~150; 3.开头和结尾已经给出,但不计入总词数。 参考词汇:食宿accommodation Dear Sir, My name is Li Hua.I am a student from Yingcai Senior High School... Yours truly, Li Hua
开头的文字说明部分需要在邮件中简单提及。假 如考生基础知识薄弱,尤其是语法知识欠缺,显然难 以准确表达。本题是对考生的语言基础知识的考查。 就词汇而言,假如考生词汇不丰富,就难以表达出 “咨询”、“相关专业”、“录取”、“专门的”、 “奖学金”和“学费”等;就语法来说,倘若出现 “I write you askinformation.”“I very interested in Environmental Science.”之类的句子,怎能拿高分!
【解题探究】写作要求中的三个内容要点就是本文所要表达的主要内容。由于所给出的内容要点在逻辑上非常合理,写作时不必重新调整顺序。鉴于本文对学生的语言基础知识要求比较高,考生在表达过程中要注意词汇的选择和语句的使用,同时,应注意措辞,格式上要符合信件的格式要求。 【参考范文】 Dear Sir, My name is Li Hua.I am a student from Ying- cai Senior High School.Soon I will graduate and I plan to study in your university,so I am writing to ask for some information.

Thank you for your listening! 【参考范文】 The topic of my speech today is“Do trust us a generation born in the 90s”. Living in an environment full of fiercer competition,we,a generation born in the 90s,are facedwith more problems in entering higher
schools and getting employed schools and getting employed.Under these circumstances,we are developing our special manners and values,which has raised people’s concern. They worry we care too much about ourse-lves and are unwilling to cooperate with others, which makes it hard for us to achieve success in whatever we do.Besides,they consider us as lacking in determination,and this is what it takes to do any job well.Without it,we may easily give up in time of difficulty.They are also concerned that we are so eager to win instant fame that we follow fashion blindly,which will in turn ruin our values
and future. However,we,a generation born in the 90s, have our own advantages despite some weak- nesses.Firstly,we have the courage to meet challenges and take risks,which helps realize our dreams.In addition,we are quick-minded and creative.We can do our work more efficiently.Yet,we still need to learn more from those experienceed.Please do trust us!

As for me,I prefer reading biological books because I dream of becoming a biologist,further to learn about various creatures,and take some effective measures to protect them and call on people to live in harmony with them. In my view,we have benefited a lot from this activity,not only broadening our horizons,but developing our interest in science.Meanwhile, we can build up our confidence on how to do a thing better.
4 (2009·郑州名校联考) 仔细看题目中的图画,描述图画内容并就此进行评论。 要求:1.在图画内容的基础上可作适当的联想; 2.评论要切中要害; 3.词数120~150。 参考词汇:日用品daily necessities
【参考范文】 In this picture,we can see that a woman is doing shopping in a supermarket.She chooses a pair of slippers and buys other daily necess- ities.Walking beside the place where fresh fruits are sold,she suddenly finds it unnecessary to buy slippers.So she throws them away without any hesitation.Seeing what happens,a customer behind her is shocked by her behavior.
We can learn much from the picture.This phen- omenon often occurs around us.Most people hate it when someone does something like this.Those who throw things without thought are believed to lack responsibility to our society. That is to say,they only think of convenience to themselves but ignore others’ feelings.So what she does is absolutely wrong.We should create a pleasant environment where we can do anything delightedly.It is everybody’s duty to keep a clean environment in our world.
1 (2009·南京二次调研) 最近教育部就高中取消文理分科的可能性和可操 作性,广泛征集意见。消息一传出,立即成为人们热议的话题。社会各界对此存在严重分歧。支持者认为,取消文理分科有利于学生全面发展。分科会导致部分文科学生缺乏科学精神,部分理科学生不关心社会问题。反对者认为,取消文理分科将加重学生的学习负担。分科尊重学生个体差异,请你给China Daily写一篇文章,阐述分歧,并发表自己的观点(至少两点)。
要求:1.可根据内容要点适当增加细节,以使行文连 贯。 2.词数:150左右。短文开头已为你写好,不 计入总词数。 参考词汇:文理分科:separate students into science and arts文科生:liberal art students理科生:science students The Ministry of Education has been collecting opinions on the possibility and feasibility of ending the separation of science and arts in highschools.
【参考范文】 The Ministry of Education has been collect-ing opinions on the possibility and feasibility of ending the separation of science and arts in high schools.But opinions from different parties are totally opposite. Most experts advocate the ending of the division of science and arts.They indicate that the separation of subjects strongly affects the overall quality of our people.It will result in some arts students’ lacking the spirit of
exploring science as well as some science students’ not caring about important issues, such as society and human beings.To them, without the separation,students are more likely to develop all-around abilities. However,many students and parents oppose this opinion,saying that canceling the separa- tion of subjects means putting more pressure and burdens on students,while focusing on fewercourses enables students to excel in specific areas.Furthermore,each student has his
or her strengths and weaknesses,which needs to be respected. In my opinion,even though our society needsmore experts rather than people who are “Jack of all trades but master of none”, separat-ing subjects too early is not good for students’ future development.What’s more,it is unrealistic to talk about this issue if the present system of examination isn’t reformed.Therefore,the Mini-stry of Education had better take a cautious attitude toward this problem.

【参考范文】 What We High School Students Learn from the Global Financial Crisis The global financial crisis broke out in 2008, which caused serious economic slide and incr- eased job loss.What can we learn from it? First,we should put all our heart into study to broaden our knowledge in various fields. Second,it is required that we should develop our abilities in many ways and improve our personal qualities to achieve our goals in this highly competitive society. Next, learning to cooperate
with others is another thing we must do,because sense of teamwork contributes to success more quickly.Last but not least,as young generation in China,we’d better set our long-term plans to meet what society needs. At present I think only by working hard can our ability be fully embodied.I’ll spare no effort to study hard to achieve my goal.

【参考范文】 An Unexpected Football One day,Li Hua went home happily with a football.As his son was longing for a football,he bought him one on his way home.He was so excited that he shouted even before his door,“ Son,I bought a football for you!” His son was so happy when he saw the foot- ball that he couldn’t wait to play it outside. Thinking of safety,Li Hua told his son to play far from his house.He said,“The farther,the better.” His son immediately went downstairs to play
football and Li Hua sat in the sofa watching TV comfortably. Suddenly,he heard a big “bang” and an object rushed into his room before he realized it was a football.The ball happened to hit the TV set,making it into pieces.When he calmed down,he found it was just the football that he bought his son!

【参考范文】 From the picture,we can see a man crossing the street in a hurry.But he is not walking on the pavement;instead,he is running in front of cars which are moving on the street.And to avoid hitting him,a car makes a sudden stop.The following car hits that car on its back.Thus an accident is caused.The man who is crossing the street doesn’t take life seriously,both his and others’.Running across a street without obeying the traffic rules is very dangerous because the running person can be easily hurt by cars.And
if the car which is about to hit the person makes a sudden brake,there may be a car accident,just as the picture shows,thus people in the cars might get hurt. Life is precious,and also vulnerable.We should not put our life and others’ in danger by any improper behavior.

注意:1.内容应包括图表中的要点,可以适当增加细节, 以使行文连贯; 2.词数120~150。 参考词汇:(过度)肥胖的obese
【参考范文】 Long-term exposure to American culture may be harmful.A new study has found that obesity is relatively rare among the foreign-born until they live in the United States. Only 8 percent of immigrants who lived in the United States for less than a year were obese,but that jumped to 19 percent among those who had been here for at least 15 years,compared with 22 percent of the U.S.-born residents surveyed. The study,published in Journal of the Ameri- can Medical Association shows the negative effects of the American dream of pursuing a better life in the land of plenty.
6 (2009·淄博三次调研) 全球性的金融危机波及各行各业,这对大学生就 业难的问题来说,无异于雪上加霜。作为高三学生应该有怎样的择业观呢?为此,某学校英语网站就以下几个方面组织学生展开讨论: 1.高收入2.大城市3.个人兴趣4.到国外工作5.经商,等等。 假如你是该校学生,请你用英语写一篇120~150 词的文章,就上述现象表达你的看法。 注意:文章不需要包括所有提示细节; 参考词汇:金融危机financial crisis。
【参考范文】 With the depression caused by the internat- ional financial crisis,it is naturally difficult for the university graduates to find a good job.But what is a good job?This depends largely upon what you think of it. As for me,the first choice is a good income. With enough money,we can do almost everything we want to,or even realize what we have been dreaming of.Without a good income,life will be difficult,and we’ll have to spend night and day finding new jobs.
Of course,everybody likes a permanent job with a good salary,but that’s not easy,since it is restricted by many factors.But for us senior highstudents,the most important thing is to do our lessons well,and this will help us reach a good level in our college entrance exam,which is a good foundation for our future.
7 (2009·烟台一次调研) 暑假本来是孩子休息、玩耍的时间,但很多孩子 一放暑假,就被迫奔波于各个补习班之间,这其中虽 然有家长“望子成龙”的期望,但也有越来越激烈的社 会竞争的因素。请仔细观察该图画,就此发表自己 的观点。 要求:1.画中所涉及的内容须包含在内; 2.词数120~150。 参考词汇:补习班extra course
【参考范文】 From the picture,we can see the boy is forced by his mother to take the violin extra course in summer holiday.This is often the case in many cities in China now.Many primary and middle school students have to go to extra courses to learn English,computer,playing the piano,drawing and so on in their holidays.But I don’t think that is a good way for children’s development. Firstly,summer holiday is a period for
children to have a complete rest children to have a complete rest.If they are burdened with many tasks,they will be bored with them.So it is a good idea to give them free time. Secondly,the best class is society and nature.Therefore,rather than force them to take extra courses,they should be instructed to the society and nature. Finally,many students can’t benefit from extra courses.Usually they find it is just a waste of money and time.So I am strongly opposed to this idea.
8 (2009·温州二次模拟) 家长陪大学新生报到的现象已引起了社会的普遍 关注,请仔细观察下面的漫画,对这一现象作一描述, 并发表自己的看法。 ——梁山伯:如今流行“老书童” 注意:1.词数120~150; 2.可适当发挥,以使行文连贯。
【参考范文】 As is shown in the picture,a freshman is coming towards his new university,followed by his devoted parents,who are carrying all his daily things with sweat rolling down.The boy is atse,listening to the music but taking nothing. This phenomenon surprises Liang Shanbo,a historical character who has a boy attendant, very much,“Is it popular to have old attendants?” Honestly speaking,this phenomenon is more and more popular nowadays.However,as far as I am concerned,parents make many sacrifices for
their children,which in turn creates children’s further dependence on them.Secondly,students entering college are grownups who can take care of themselves.In addition,going to univer-sity alone is good for them.Though they may come across difficulties on the way,they are old enough to deal with them,and through this they can become more independent and actually grow up.
9 (2009·威海模拟) 根据下列提示,写一篇英语作文。 从国外回来的人说,西方人比中国人说“对不起” 要多得多。中国人在做错了事或伤害了别人后才道 歉,而西方人想从你前面走过去,聚会时中途离开,约会(appointment)迟到,都要说声“对不起”。他们也常说“谢谢”,甚至在家里妻子给丈夫倒了一杯水,丈夫也不忘说“谢谢”。说“谢谢”表示你感激别人为你做的事,不管这事有多小。“谢谢”“对不起”是西方人最平常的用语,这样的用语对于相处融洽、增加亲切感大有益处。 注意:词数120~150。
【参考范文】 Western people say “Excuse me” more often than we Chinese.In China,“Excuse me” is only used to apologize when a person has done something wrong or has hurt someone else. Western people say it when they want to pass in front of someone,to leave the party,or when they find themselves late for anappointment.They also say “Thank you” more readily.Even at home the husband will thank the wife when she gives
him a glass of water.“Thank you” means you appreciate what someone has done for you,no matter how small it may be.“Excuse me” and “ Thank you” are the most ordinary words Western people use every day.These words can help people get along well with each other and add to some warm feelings between people.

【参考范文】 Dear Jack, I think what you are worrying about is not a big problem.When students move between classes,old friendships often suffer as new ones seem to take their places.But it isn’t always the case. If you truly value your friendship,you should be able to make the effort to save it.There is nothing to stop you spending time with your friend.Meet him or her during a break in class or at some other time.Explain that you feel as if the
two of you are growing apart and that you don’t want this to happen.First of all,your friend will be very touched that you care enough about your friendship and try to save it.If he or she feels the same way,you can then arrange to spend more time together after class or at weekends. The worst thing is that you are worried about something but do nothing for it.Take some actions,now! Good luck! Yours, Tom 返回
