Part Ⅰ Writing
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay entitled Malting Friends Online. You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below in Chinese:
1. 1.网上交友現象越来截止普遍。
2.這种做法有利有弊。
3.我的提议。
答案:[高分作文]
With a wide variety of virtual communication tools springing up like mushrooms, making friends online has become increasingly fashionable over the past decade.
This channel of communication enables people to get acquainted with cyber friends from anywhere without any limitations, enriching their life experiences and even extending their knowledge. What's more, it is not rare for some to find their bosom friends and even Mr. /Mrs. Right.
But as a double-edged sword, making friends without physically meeting each other undoubtedly has evils--tragedies occur when cyber-friends finally decide to date. Not coming singly but in pairs, some spouses get divorced because one party falls in love with cyber-lovers.
The network renders people convenient and efficient means to get in touch with the rest of the world and we should make good use of it instead of falling victims to it.
[评析]
這是一篇以分析某現象的利弊為主的阐明文。
第一段用一句话阐明了伴随多种各样的(a wide variety of)虚拟通信工具如雨後春笋般涌現(springing up like mushrooms),网上交友在過去拾年裏(over the past decade)变得越来越(increasingly)流行。with引导的名詞+doing构造是表达原因的經典使用方法。
第二段用What's more连接了两個好处。其中的亮點詞汇有:enable people to get acquainted with“使人們认识……”;enriching experiences“丰富經验”和extending knowledge“拓宽知识面”两個短語用了目前分詞作伴随状語;it is not rare表达“并不罕見”,比it is common更有力;bosom friends“知心朋友”;Mr./Mrs. Right“另二分之一;心上人”。
第三段话锋一转,运用比方“就像一把双刃剑(as a double-edged sword)”,引出了害处。成語Not coming singly but in pairs“無独有偶”的前後讲了两個害处,恰恰与前一段的两個好处形成對比。
最终一段简洁地发出呼吁:网络給我們提供了便利、高效的接触外界的手段,我們应當好好运用它,而不应當成為其受害者。亮點詞汇有:render, convenient and efficient means, fall victim to。
例二:
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay entitled On Conserving Energy. You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below in Chinese:
1. 1.能源短缺問題已經非常严重;
2.可以采用节能措处理能源短缺問題;
3.你的見解。
答案:[高分作文]
Nowadays there is growing concern on the serious problem of energy shortage. Many people worry that energy resources on the earth will be exhausted if we use them in an unchecked way. And they believe that the energy shortage will cause serious problems and even crisis.
Conserving energy is one of the measures which have been taken to solve the problem of energy shortage. For example, some countries have a daylight saving system to use less electricity for lighting. Also, some cities have enforced some facilities for saving water at public places such as rest rooms and bars. Still more, some have enforced serious penalties on overuse of electricity, water, and farming land. By these means, people hope the drain on energy resources could be slowed down.
In a word, it is high time that serious consideration was given to conserving energy. Only through immediate and effective action, can we human beings survive and enjoy life as desired.
[评析]
节能是目前备受关注的一种话題,因此可說的内容诸多,紧紧围绕提纲规定進行论述是本文的鲜明特點。文章首段直截了當地提出能源短缺這样一种话題,中间段概括阐明节能是处理能源短缺問題的重要措施之一,运用并列型扩展法简介了几种节能措施。末尾段重申主題,再次强调問題的紧迫性和严重性。
本文詞語和句型运用自如。如第二段的列举法虽然没有使用first,second等詞語,但使用了Also,still more,使整個段落看起来内容充实,条理清晰。結尾段使用了此类分析問題的作文的經典結尾句型“it is high time that…”。
例三:
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay entitled On English Learning. You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below in Chinese:
1. 1.你认為在英語學习過程中存在的重要問題是什么?
2.导致這些問題的原因有哪些?
3.對于处理這些問題,你有何提议?
It is obvious that there are some problems in college English learning. In my opinion, something most discouraging is that many students find difficulty in communicating with a native speaker although they have learned English for many years.
There are two reasons explaining this phenomenon. Firstly, most of the students, even many teachers of English pay little attention to the use of the language. To them, the most important thing of learning English is to memorize some grammatical rules and enlarge the vocabulary. Secondly, many students have not realized the real purpose of learning English. They hold that they study English to pass tests, not to master a useful tool for their own use.
To change this situation, my suggestion is that more emphasis be put on improving communicative abilities in English. For example, why not advocate that the listening and speaking should be included in the test of English at various levels?
[评析]
作文首先直接提出英語學习中存在的問題,即通過数年英語學习之後,學生仍然不能用英語進行交流。第二段揭示并分析产生這种現象的两個原因。主題句為:There are two reasons explaining this phenomenon.扩展句的重要内容:一是對語言运用的學习不够重视;二是學习英語的目的只是為了通過考试。最终提出处理問題并且現实可行的提议,用問句結尾,引起阅卷老師對本文的注意。
本文的語言体現精确,三個段落的過渡自然。文章開頭句子明确提出問題It is obvious that there are some problems in college English learning,第二段首句提出产生這种現象的原因有两個There are two reasons explaining this phenomenon,末段的首句用To change this situation来承接上文,最终用for example引出自已的提议。
例四:
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay entitled Cheating on Campus. You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below in Chinese:
1. 1.在大學裏存在著考试作弊的現象;
2.你是怎么看待這一現象的;
3.怎样才能制止這种現象。
答案:[高分作文]
Cheating on exams is becoming a serious problem on campus. 23% of students have ever been found doing so on their exams. Some of them copy from each other, some take out their textbooks or reference books to copy, still some use the modern communication tools such as mobile phone as a way to get related information. It is obvious that cheating on exams has bad effect on students' academic performances as well as morality practice.
Many remarkable factors contribute to the cheating in exams. First, some students just play time away and want to pass the exam without efforts. And some students are under great pressure from parents and they fear to fail the exams. Second, college or universities must bear the blame for their placing more emphasis on grades than learning. Rigid grading system promotes cheating.
How can such an unhealthy phenomenon be eliminated? In my opinion, there are two ways we can adopt. First of all, a severe punishment should be put into effect to prevent students from cheating. In addition, we shouldre form our examination system to make it a real effective tool to measure students' abilities.
[评析]
本文的第一段指出考试作弊在诸多大學裏是一种很严重的問題,通過数字阐明問題的严重性,主題句的提出显得有理有据。接著列举了學生的多种作弊手段。第二段主題句“Many remarkable factors contribute to the cheating in exams.”显示本段的重要内容是分析考试作弊的原因,分别從學生和學校实行的制度两個方面進行分析。第三段提出根除作弊現象的措施。本文段落之间的衔接自然得体,如第三段開頭用了一种問句“How can such an unhealthy phenomenon be eliminated?”,很自然地将话題转到怎样制止作弊上来了。各個段落内部扩展句之间的逻辑层次清晰,分析透彻。如結尾段在论述采用何种措施根除作弊時,用first of all, in addition体現了两种措施逻辑与意义上的关系。
例五:
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay entitled On Internet-based Instruction. You should write at least 120 words following the outline below in Chinese.
1. 1.近年来网络化學习发展迅速;
2.网络教育蓬勃发展的原因;
3.我怎样运用這种形式充電。
The past decade has witnessed a boom in Internet-based instruction both at home and abroad. Online education with or without record of formal schooling is readily available.
The attraction of the fenceless school for students is obvious. Learners can cast aside the restriction of age, profession or educational background and select freely according to their own need the studying contents. Additionally, with the instructors posting syllabi, reading assignments, and schedules on Websites, and students sending in their assignments online, time and space are no obstacles to anyone. Meanwhile, expenses and resources are accordingly saved for both students and schools. Obviously, webucation broadens the channel of knowledge reception, realizes learner-centered auto-study and enhances the learners' ability of knowledge acquisition and knowledge updating.
As for me, to enhance integrated quality by selecting some popular web courses annually will be a long-term mission.
[评析]
這是一篇重點在于分析某現象的原因的文章。
第一段用两句话简朴阐明了過去拾年裏国内外网络化學习发展迅速這一現象。亮點詞汇decade “拾年”,比用ten years显得有水平;witnessed“見证”,以時间地點作主語,事件作宾語,表达在某個時间或者地點发生了某事,属于拟人化的使用方法;boom“蓬勃发展”;(at) home and abroad“国内外”。Internet-based, instruction和Online education是“网络教育”的两种不一样体現,体現了用詞的多样性。
第二段分析這一現象的原因。第一句是承上启下的過渡句。第二句详细阐明了第一条原因:學习者可以不受年龄、职业、教育背景等的限制,自由选择課程。随即一句用Additionally引出了第二条原因:由于教學活動都在网上進行,師生都不受時空限制。紧接著用Meanwhile引出了第三条原因:费用和资源得到节省。最终用Obviously進行升华、小結:网络教育拓宽了接受教育的渠道、实現了以學生為中心的自主學习、提高了學习者获取知识和更新知识的能力。這一段中的the fenceless school 和webucation又是“网络教育”的此外两种体現。其他亮點詞汇尚有:cast aside, obstacles, accordingly, broadens the channel, learner-centered, enhances the ability, knowledge acquisition, knowledge updating等。
第三段简要扼要地阐明自已的打算:每年选几门受欢迎的网络課程来提高自已的综合素质。亮點詞汇有:enhance, integrated, annually, long-term mission。
例六:
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay entitled How to Live a Colorful Life on Campus. You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below in Chinese:
1. 1.許多大學生但愿自已的校园生活可以丰富多彩;
2.有許多方式可以丰富大學生活;
3.對此你有什么提议?
Nearly all students want to make their life on campus as colorful as possible. With a colorful life, a student can feel meaningful and confident. So it is necessary- for students to enrich their campus life.
There are several ways to live a colorful life on campus. It is a good choice for students to join various clubs and groups. By doing so, students can make a lot of friends whose interests are similar to theirs. Besides taking part in the activities on campus, students can also do some social practice, which is necessary for them to expand their horizon.
Taking myself as an example, I love to dance and join the dance club. I enjoy dancing with my friends and learn a lot from them. Moreover, I take an active part in social practice. Both are helpful to make my life on campus more enjoyable.
[评析]
文章的第一段提出丰富多彩的校园生活可以让學生感到自信,生活得故意义,随之自然地引出學生有必要學著使自已的校园生活丰富多彩。第二段提出使校园生活丰富多彩的两种措施。一种是参与多种俱乐部、學生团体;另一种是参与社會实践。最终一段作者重申主題。以自已為例,让讀者懂得自已的提议是有据可依的。
短文的第二段在简介两种措施時没有用first、second一类的詞,而是用了besides;最终一段用了分詞短語taking myself as an example開頭,通過這种方式,可以让阅卷老師覺得語言运用不落俗套。
例七:
Part Ⅰ Writing
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay entitled College Students' sense of Responsibility. You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below in Chinese:
1. 1.有的大學生有很强的责任意识,有的却连最基本的责任感都没有;
2.大學生肩负些哪责任;
3.大學阶段是大學生成長的重要阶段,呼吁大學生加强责任感。
Our times witness a striking difference between two groups of college students: those who bear a strong sense of responsibility and those without even a slightest one.
Perhaps some are still wondering--what obligations are undergraduates supposed to take? Obviously, all adult citizens should be responsible for themselves, their families, their societies and their nations. We university students are no exception. Besides, we are expected to be responsible for the institution where we are being educated.
Years at college are the most important period in a person's growth, when we acquire knowledge and find our roles in life, so we must enhance our obligation sense at this crucial moment in order to fulfill our duties well as individuals and members of our families, our schools, our society and our country.
[评析]
本文開頭段只用了一句话就阐明了提纲中的差距:有的大學生有很强的责任意识,有的却连最基本的责任感都没有。其中動詞witness的拟人法使用、短語a striking difference(明显的不一样)、strong与slightest形成的强烈對比以及responsibility和one实虚詞結合,都是亮點体現。而两类人的定語分别使用了定語從句who bear a strong sense of responsibility和介詞短語without even a slightest one,体現了句型的变化多样。
第二段虽然不長,不過段首過渡句Perhaps some are still wondering-what obligations are undergraduates supposed to take?的使用,承上启下,拾分自然地引出段落主題:大學生肩负哪些责任。随即給出四個答案:成年公民都应當承担自我责任、家庭责任、社會责任、国家责任。大學生也不例外。而為了突出大學生和一般成年公民的区别,還用Besides补充了“學校责任”。
尾段强调了大課時期在人生中的重要性,并呼吁為了很好地履行我們作為個人以及家庭、學校、社會、国家的组员的职责,我們要加强责任感的培养,呼应第二段。全文以主人公的形象论述,有說服力。
例八:
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on the topic of On Being Volunteers. You should write at least 120 words following the outline given below.
1. 1.目前诸多大型活動都需要志愿者;
2.做志愿者的利弊;
3.假如我有机會做志愿者的话,我會……
答案: [高分作文]
On Being Volunteers
With China becoming increasingly prosperous by the day, large-scale events such as world expositions and sports games frequent this hot land, virtually all of which are thirsty for a large number of volunteers.
Apart from gaining some working and social experiences, the realistic advantages to serving as a volunteer are also obvious. Volunteers for the World Expo in Shanghai, for instance, may visit any pavilion after work, which makes them the envy of billions of queuers; likewise, volunteers of Beijing Olympics got allowances, quality uniforms, free riding of bus and metro, etc. More beneficially, their experience may add luster to their resume in job-hunting. But as the saying goes, "A penny has two sides. " The disadvantages to being volunteers are also elephants in the room. Doing voluntary jobs is undoubtedly time-consuming, and to those students, the majority of volunteers, the sacrifice is not only time but their school work. Besides, longtime exposure to various unexpected weather may do great harm to their health.
But anyway, if I have a chance to be a volunteer, I am sure to try my utmost, because during the course, I will learn how to carry out better team work and how to cope with emergencies, etc. , thus I will mature sooner than otherwise.
[评析]
這是一篇以分析某現象的利弊為主的阐明文。
第一段用一句话阐明了目前诸多大型活動频频在中国举行(with引导的短語简要指出原因:中国曰益繁华),它們都需要志愿者這一現象。其中語言亮點有increasingly修饰形容詞prosperous,表达“越来越”;by the day表达“曰益”;large-scale events表达“大规模的活動”;frequent作動詞,表达“频频发生”;virtually修饰all,表达“几乎”;of which介詞+关系代詞,引导定語從句,使句型出現变化;be thirsty for使用了拟人的手法,体現“迫切需要”。
第二段分析了做志愿者的利弊。第一句以Apart from開頭,引出了两個“利”——获得工作、社會經验以及某些現实性的好处,随即举了北京奥运會和上海世博會作為後者的例证(likewise自然地把两個例子衔接到了一起),并用More beneficially阐明前者對找工作更有协助。在转折到“弊”時,用了谚語(But as the saying goes, "A penny, has two sides."),而成語elephants in the room表达“明显的”,也是闪光用詞。Besides连接了两個弊端——花费時间、影响健康。
最终一段表明了自已的态度——假如有机會,将竭尽全力做好志愿者,同步简要阐明了理由:學會合作和应急以便更快地成熟起来。開頭的But anyway“但不管怎样(尽管有上述的弊端)”属于過渡詞,把第二段和第三段自然衔接到了一起。
