US, when she got the news: Her older brother Brian, a student at Columbia University; was suffering from mental illness. Inspired by this, Malmon formed a group at her university to organize students to talk openly about mental health. It soon blossomed into a national organization that today has more than 450 campus chapters. Leaders with the organization spend their time talking with college students about the pressure that today's young people face. "What you hear often is just a need to be perfect,” said Malmon, "and a need to present oneself as perfect.” A new study in the UK proved that this need for perfectionism is simply part of today ”s society. In the study, two researchers studied more than 40,000 students from the US, Canada, and the UK. They found that what they called "socially-prescribed (社会定向型的) perfectionism” increased by a third between 1989 and 2016. Lead researcher Thomas Curran said that while so many of today's young people try to present a perfect appearance online, social media isn't the only reason behind this trend. Instead, he said, it may be driven by competition in modem society, meaning young people can't avoid being sorted and ranked in both education and employment. That comes from new normal situation like greater numbers of college students, national examination and parenting that increasingly emphasizes success in education. For example, in 1976, half of high school seniors expected to get a college degree of some kind. By 2008, more than 80 percent expected the same. The researchers also said changes in parenting styles over the last two decades might have had an impact. As parents feel increased pressure to raise successful children, they in turn pass their "achievement anxieties" onto their kids through "too much participation in their child's activities or emotions Those in the mental health community like Malmon say they're concerned about the impact the culture of perfectionism has on mental health on campuses. "Mental health has truly become this generation's social justice (公正)issue," she said. “It's our job to equip them with the tools and to let people know that it's not their fault." 4. What inspired Alison Malmon to start a group related to mental health? A. Her brother's mental illness. B. Her project during the freshman year. C. The pressure she had experienaed. D. Her strong interest in mental health. 5. What may be pushing today's young people to struggle to be perfect, according to the article? a. The impact of social media. b. Parents' high expectations of their children. c. The decreasing number of college students. d. The fierce competition in society. e. Their desire to draw their parents' attention. A. a.b, c B. a, d, e C. a,b, d D. b, c, e 6. What does Malmon think is a way to help young people manage the pressure of perfectionism? A. Enabling them to know what is to blame for their pressure. B. Lowering their expectations of themselves. C. Reducing parents' involvement in their children's life. D. Making them aware of what true social responsibility is. 7. What is the article mainly about? A. A new study on college students. B Research into the trend of perfectionism. C. A group devoted to helping people stay mentally healthy. D. Various pressures that today's young people are facing. 【答案】4. A 5. C 6. A 7. B 【解析】 【分析】 本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了完美主义给当代年轻人带来的巨大压力,并分析了完美主义出现的具体原因。 【4题详解】 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句和第二段第一句“Her older brother Brian, a student at Columbia University; was suffering from mental illness. Inspired by this, Malmon formed a group at her university to organize students to talk openly about mental health.”可知正是Malmon的哥哥Brian患上了精神病让Malmon决定创办一个研究精神病的研究小组。故A项正确。 【5题详解】 细节理解题。根据第四段“social media isn't the only reason behind this trend. Instead, he said, it may be driven by competition in modem society…That comes from new normal situation like greater numbers of college students, national examination and parenting that increasingly emphasizes success in education.”可知社交媒体不是年轻人所面临压力的唯一原因,当代社会的激烈竞争以及父母对孩子教育成功的期待都是重要原因。故C项正确。 【6题详解】 推理判断题。根据文章最后一句“she said. “It's our job to equip them with the tools and to let people know that it's not their fault."”可知Malmon认为年轻人应该让人们知道精神健康方面的问题不是他们的错误,而是社会以及父母给他们带来的。故A项正确。 【7题详解】 主旨大意题。本文是一篇说明文,文章前两段导入话题:完美主义给年轻人带来了巨大的精神压力,人们组建了研究团队对此进行研究。第三段第一句点明主题"What you hear often is just a need to be perfect,” said Malmon, "and a need to present oneself as perfect.”下文分析了完美主义产生的具体原因,并提出了年轻人的应对方法。所以本文主要讲述的是对完美主义的研究。故B项正确。 【点睛】本文小题4考查了阅读理解的主旨大意题,文章前两段导入话题,第三段点明主题,第一句"What you hear often is just a need to be perfect,” said Malmon, "and a need to present oneself as perfect.”就是文章的主题句。对于此类题型我们可以使用主题句认定法。我们会发现很多文章常常有表明作者观点的主题句。如果能找出这些主题句,必将极大地帮助我们解决主旨大意题。主题句通常出现在文章的开头或结尾,需要强调的是,部分文章开头属于导入,主题句会在之后出现,本文即属于此类文章。 Passage 1 (2019年安徽卷A篇) Remembering names is an important social skill.

That's because Alexa, the artificial intelligence (Al) behind US company Amazon's Echo smart speakers, has been "letting out an unprompted (自发的),creepy (令人毛骨悚然的)cackle for no apparent reason, according to BBC News. Many social media users shared their stories of Alexa scaring them with the seemingly unprompted laugh. “Every time Alexa laughs, an angel dies," Tesla and SpaceX founder Elon Musk joked on social media. On March 7, Amazon released an update that fixed the problem, saying that the laugh was caused by Echo devices mistakenly thinking that users had said the command " Alexa, laugh". However, what should have been a funny story raised the ongoing topic of man versus machine. With the rise of artificial and robotic technology, " Digital machines started to demonstrate broad abilities in pattern recognition, complex communication, and other area that used to be particularly human," wrote Erik Brynjolfsson and Andrew McAfee in their book The Second Machine Age: Work, Progress, and Prosperity in a Time of Brilliant Technologies. They believe that AI will "do more and more, and our lives will get better". However, ever since the earliest days of AI there have been concerns that some day, software will take over the world. leaving the fate of humans unknown. “With artificial intelligence we are order the demon (魔鬼)Musk told students during a meeting at MIT in 2014. "If I had to guess at what our biggest existential threat is, it's probably that. So we need to be very careful Many scientists have shared the same concern. The late British physicist Stephen Hawking said at a technology conference in Portugal in November that "computers can. in theory, imitate human intelligence, and exceed it ••• AI could be the worst event in the history of our civilization." If creators are to safely control AL however, Hawking suggested that they " employ best practice and effective management" . I am an optimist and I believe that we can create AI for the good of the world," he said at the conference. "We simply need to be aware of the dangers, identify them, employ the best possible practice and management, and prepare for its consequences well in advance/* 8.

AI: The Biggest Threat 【答案】8. B 9. A 10. D 11. B 【解析】 【分析】 本文是一篇议论文,主要介绍了人们对人工智能带来的潜在危险的不同观点,提醒我们要提前做好充分准备。 【8题详解】 猜测词义题。根据第二段“Many social media users shared their stories of Alexa scaring them with the seemingly unprompted laugh.”可知很多社交媒体也分享了亚马逊公司的智能机器Alexa会发出令人毛骨悚然的笑声的事情。此句中的“laugh”与文章第一段中的划线词“cackle”意义一样,故B项正确。 9题详解】 推理判断题。文章前四段中介绍了亚马逊公司的智能机器Alexa会发出令人毛骨悚然的笑声的事情,在第五段中提出“However, what should have been a funny story raised the ongoing topic of man versus machine.”这个故事引起了人与机器对抗的话题。故A项正确。 【10题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段最后一句“They believe that AI will "do more and more, and our lives will get better".”可知Brynjolfsson和McAfee认为现在的人工智能机器展示出了多种能力,这些能力会让我们的生活变得更好。故D项正确。 【11题详解】 主旨大意题。本文是一篇议论文,主要介绍了人们对于人工智能带来的潜在危险的不同观点。在最后一段中作者引用了霍金的话,告诉我们要意识到人工智能的危险,要做好充分的准备。B项符合文章中心思想。故选择B项。 【点睛】本文小题1考查了猜测词义题,此类题型属于阅读必考题型,阅读时考生可以通过同义词或近义词来解题。本文第二段中的“laugh”与文章第一段中的划线词“cackle”意义一样,所以B项正确。在同一句、同一段或同一篇文章中,作者为了避免语言的单调、重复,有时会使用意思相同或相近的词。因此,考生只要读懂上下文,知道其中一个词的意思,就能猜出另外一个词的意思。并列关系(同义关系)提示词:and, also, as … as, the same as利用语境及前后的提示来猜测词义 。 D Have you ever imagined what it would be like to see the world through an animal's eyes? For example, what a chimpanzee sees as it sits at the top of a tree, or a penguin;s view as it dives into the sea to catch its dinner? These questions are answered in the nature documentary Animals with Cameras, produced by the BBC. The three-part series was first aired in the UK last month. To explore animal stories "told” by the animals themselves, the documentary's filmmakers worked with scientists to develop cameras that wild animals could wear. "Never before have we seen such high-quality footage (连续镜头)directly from the animal's point of view, ” BBC Nature executive producer Fred Kaufman told PBS. “ This miniseries greatly expands our comprehension of animal behavior and this camera technology opens up new possibilities for discovering so much more." Indeed, the groundbreaking technology provides a new viewpoint of the animal kingdom. New cameras with enough battery life to shoot for hours at a time were designed to be comfortable enough for animals to wear, according to the documentary's camera designer Chris Watts. The technical challenges didn't stop there. Some animals were very curious about the equipment, with some even fighting each other for the chance to wear a camera. In the case of chimpanzees, "we had to create dummy (仿造的)cameras, so that every chimpanzee could get one" , the miniseries' wildlife cameraman Gordon Buchanan told Live Science. For animals that were comfortable enough to be with human beings, the cameras could be fitted and removed by hand. But for others, the cameras came off automatically using a timed release and were collected afterward. This meant that the cameras needed to be as tough as possible. To avoid disturbing the animals, scientists who were good at dealing with wildlife came to help by putting the cameras on the animals. " The last thing we want to do is cause them distress." the documentary's producer Dan Rees told the BBC. “To follow an animal in the first place, there had to be a clear benefit in terms of knowledge about it that might be useful to protecting a species in the future. Their efforts certainly paid off. “ Footage that captures (捕 捉)these rare and exciting glimpses of animals bidden habits is important to scientists, but documentaries like Animals with Cameras also resonate with (引 起共鸣)audiences, connecting them with the beauty - and danger - of wildlife in their natural environments," Live Science noted. 12. According to the text, Animals with Cameras . A. is a documentary made by wildlife experts B. presents high-quality footage of animals for the first time C. shows wildlife from the unique viewpoint of animals D. mainly records the life of chimpanzees and penguins 13. The case of chimpanzees is used to .

To avoid disturbing the animals, filmmakers . A. set up a protected area for them to live in B. invited scientists to help equip them with cameras C. made the cameras look like animals in disguise D. fitted and removed the cameras by hand 15. The author's attitude toward the documentary can be described as . A. changing B. supportive C. cautious D. pessimistic 【答案】12. C 13. D 14. B 15. B 【解析】 本文是一篇说明文,主要介绍了研究人员使用最新的相机技术,让人们从动物的视角看世界。 【12题详解】 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“To explore animal stories "told” by the animals themselves, the documentary's filmmakers worked with scientists to develop cameras that wild animals could wear.”可知研究人员让动物带上相机来拍摄野生动物的世界。故C项正确。 【13题详解】 推理判断题。根据第五段前两句“The technical challenges didn't stop there. Some animals were very curious about the equipment, with some even fighting each other for the chance to wear a camera.”可知很多动物对这种相机非常好奇,甚至会为佩戴相机而打斗。这就需要人们把这些相机制造得更加牢固,以便更好地拍摄。第五段最后所列举的猩猩的例子正是为了证明这一点。故D项正确。 【14题详解】 细节理解题。根据倒数第二段第一句“To avoid disturbing the animals, scientists who were good at dealing with wildlife came to help by putting the cameras on the animals.”可知为了避免妨碍动物,研究人员邀请科学家帮助他们给动物带上相机。故B项正确。 【15题详解】 推理判断题。根据最后一段“Footage that captures(捕 捉)these rare and exciting glimpses of animals bidden habits is important to scientists, but documentaries like Animals with Cameras also resonate with (引起共鸣)audiences, connecting them with the beauty - and danger - of wildlife in their natural environments”可知作者认为这种相机拍摄的连续镜头对于科学研究十分重要,这种纪录片能够引起观众的共鸣,让人们欣赏到美景,也让他们意识到自然环境下野生动物面临的危险。这些说明作者对这一纪录片持支持态度。故B项正确。 第二节(共5小题;每小题2分,满分10分) 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多 余选项° AL's friend Rachel invited him to go to the lake for the day with her family. Rachel really hoped he'd say yes. AL turned Rachel down. ___16___ He worried that her family and others at the lake would see what he saw when he looked in the mirror a strange excuse for a man. The truth about guys. Many people think of guys as being carefree when it comes to their appearance. ___17___Guys might think that they shouldn't worry about how they look, but body image can be a real problem for them. Unlike girls, guys are less likely to talk to friends and relatives about their bodies and how they're developing. Without support from friends and family, they may develop a negative self-image. Why is body image important? Body image is a person's opinions, thoughts, and feelings about his or her own body and physical appearance. ___18___ Body image is part of someone’s total self-image. So how a guy feels about his body can affect how he feels about himself. If he gets too focused on not liking the way he looks, a guy's selfesteem can take a hit. How does puberty (青春期)affect body image? Although body image is just one part of our self-image, during the teen years, and especially during puberty, it can be easy for a guy's whole self-image to be based on how his body looks. ___19___ It could be in your genes (基因). Lots of guys can have high expectations for puberty, thinking they'll develop quickly or in a certain way. ___20___ You can look at your uncles, grandfathers, and even female relatives, to get an idea of the kinds of choices your genes may have in store for you. A. You may hear a lot about being a tough guy. B. He like Rachel, too, but was self-conscious about taking off his T-shirt. C. Having a positive body image means feeling pretty satisfied with the way you look. D. The good news is that self-image and body image can be changed. E. But the reality is that a lot of guys spend plenty of time in front of the mirror. F. The best way to approach your own growth is to look at everyone in your family. G. That's because our bodies are changing so much during this time that they can become the main focus of our attention. 【答案】16. B 17. E 18. C 19. G 20. F 【解析】 本文是一篇议论文。任何人都或多或少在意自己的形象,男生也不例外。本文分析了形象对男生的重要性,并提出了树立良好形象的建议。 【16题详解】 横线后一句“He worried that her family and others at the lake would see what he saw when he looked in the mirror a strange excuse for a man.”解释了他拒绝Rachel的原因,他担心Rachel的家人不喜欢他的外貌。尽管他很喜欢Rachel,但对自己外貌的不自信让他拒绝了对方。故B项正确。 【17题详解】 横线前一句提出男孩子通常不太在意自己的形象,而横线后一句“Guys might think that they shouldn't worry about how they look, but body image can be a real problem for them.”告诉我们现在的男孩子很注意自己的外貌形象。由此可知横线句与前一句的句意相反,E项“但是实际情况是很多男孩子在镜子面前花费了很多时间”符合语境。故E项正确。 【18题详解】 横线前一句“Body image is a person's opinions, thoughts, and feelings about his or her own body and physical appearance.”告诉我们身体形象是人们对自己的身体及外面的观点态度和想法。C项“正面的身体形象意味着对你的外貌很满意”是对这一概念的具体解释。故C项正确。 【19题详解】 横线前一句“it can be easy for a guy's whole self-image to be based on how his body looks.”告诉我们青春期的男孩子通常以身体形象为基础形成自我形象。本句解释了这一现象出现的原因,正是因为青春期的男孩子身体变化太快,这些变化成为了人们关注的焦点。故G项符合语境,所以选择G项。 【20题详解】 横线后一句“You can look at your uncles, grandfathers, and even female relatives, to get an idea of the kinds of choices your genes may have in store for you.”告诉男孩子可以看自己的家人的形象来得知自己以后可能会长成的样子,因为基因在形象方面起着重要的作用。F项符合语境,所以选择F项。 第三部分 语言知识运用(共两节,满分45分) 第一节(共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分) 阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白 处的最佳选项。 Do birds have a favorite color?

Many ___44___ (visit) to Uluru climb the rock even though there's no road to it, except for a chain-and-pole path that's been hammered into the rock by early explorers. There's even a sign at the bottom of the rock ___45___ (write) in seven languages, reading: "Please don't climb." For starters, the rock has spiritual significance for the local Aboriginal people, and ___46___(set) foot on it is considered disrespectful. Other concerns include some people leaving litter on top of the rock, and some even urinate (撒尿)on it since there's no toilet up there. When it rains, the human waste is washed down onto the rock, which can be ___47___ (harm) to the environment. Also, according to ABC News, 35 people ___48___ (die) so far trying to climb it. This is ___49___ the Australian government announced earlier this month that climbing Uluru ___50___ (ban), starting from Oct 26, 2019. 【答案】41. that 42. highest 43. or 44. visitors 45. written 46. setting /to set 47. harmful 48. have died 49. why 50. will be banned 【解析】 【分析】 本文是一篇记叙文,主要讲述了人们很喜欢到澳大利亚中部沙漠去攀登Uluru,这一做法带来了一系列问题,当地政府决定禁止人们攀登这块巨石。 【41题详解】 考查定语从句。句意:似乎在我们的血液里有某些东西,让人们想通过攀登来征服事物。本题定语从句的先行词是不定代词something,使用关系代词that来指代先行词,引导定语从句并在句中做主语。所以要填that。 【42题详解】 考查形容词最高级及常识。句意:似乎在我们的血液里有某些东西,让人们想通过攀登来征服事物。无论它是世界最高峰-珠穆朗玛峰,还是位于澳大利亚中部沙漠中地面以上348米的巨大岩石Uluru。根据常识可知珠穆朗玛峰是世界最高峰,应该使用形容词最高级做定语修饰。所以要填最高级形式highest。 【43题详解】 考查固定搭配。句意:似乎在我们的血液里有某些东西,让人们想通过攀登来征服事物。无论它是珠穆朗玛峰—世界最高峰,还是位于澳大利亚中部沙漠中地面以上348米的巨大岩石Uluru。句中使用whether…or…意为“无论…还是…”,连接上下文。所以要填or。 【44题详解】 考查名词。句意:尽管没有路,但很多游客还是会前往Uluru去攀登这块巨石。所填词在句中充当主语,而且表示人,所以要用visit表示人的名词形式visitor在句中做主语,而形容词many说明应该使用可数名词复数形式visitors。所以本句要填visitors。 【45题详解】 考查分词做定语。句意:在巨石的底部用七种语言写着一块牌子:请勿攀登。名词短语a sign与动词write构成被动关系,要用过去分词短语做定语,其作用相当于定语从句。所以句中要填written。 【46题详解】 考查动名词和不定式充当主语。句意:踏上这块岩石被认为是无礼的。本句中可以使用动名词短语做主语表示经常性习惯性的动作,也可以使用不定式短语做主语表示一次性的动作。所以可以填setting/to set。 【47题详解】 考查形容词。句意:下雨的时候,垃圾废物被冲下岩石,这对环境是有害的。句中应该使用harm的形容词形式与系动词构成系表结构,所以要填形容词harmful。 【48题详解】 考查时态。句意:根据ABC,到目前为止在攀登巨石时候,已经有35人死亡。句中时间状语so far意为“到目前为止”,通常与现在完成时连用,本句主语是复数名词,所以句中要填have died。 【49题详解】 考查表语从句连词。句意:这就是为什么这个月的早些时候澳大利亚政府宣布将从2019年10月26日开始禁止攀登Uluru。句中表语从句缺少连词,且该表语从句表示最后的结果,why引导表语从句表示最后的结果。所以要填why。 【50题详解】 考查被动语态。句意:这就是为什么这个月的早些时候澳大利亚政府宣布将从2019年10月26日开始禁止攀登Uluru。本句主语climbing Uluru与动词ban构成被动关系,且表示将来的事情,要用一般将来时的被动语态。所以要填will be banned。 【点睛】本文小题1考查了定语从句关系代词that 的用法,当不定代词充当定语从句的先行词,定语从句中需要使用关系代词时,我们通常使用that引导定语从句。只能用that作为定语从句的关系代词的情况有: 1.there be 句型中,只用that,不用which。 2.在不定代词,如:anything, nothing, the one, all, much, few, any, little等作先行词时,只用that,不用which。 3.先行词有the only, the very修饰时,只用that。如: In most cases, the very first thing that we ask for when visiting a cafe or friend's house is the WiFi password. 4.先行词为序数词、数词、形容词最高级时,只用that。. 5.当先行词既有人,又有物时。如: We talked about the things and friends we met together when we lived in the countryside. 第四部分写作(共两节,满分35分) 第一节 短文改错(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分) 51.假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文,请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中 共有10处语言错误,每句中最多有两处。每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。 增加:在缺词处加一个漏字符号(∧),并在其下面写出该加的词。 删除:把多余的词用斜线()划掉。 修改:在错的词下划一横线,并在该词下面写出修改后的词。 注意:I.每处错误及其修改均仅限一词; 2.只允许修改10处,多者(从第11处起)不计分。 In most cases, the very first thing that we ask for when visit a cafe or friend's house is the WiFi password. It's almost like the internet has become one of your basic needs. And according to technology website Digital Trends, up to 60 percent of people in the world still didn't have an internet connection. The situation is even more worse in the least developed countries—only one tenth of the people has regular access to the internet. That's why in the recent survey in the US, 68 percent of the respondents think of internet access to a privilege instead of a human right. However, the United Nations made this clear in a report back in 2011 that it believes internet access should be a human right, and it "should be a priority (优先考虑的事)for all states" to make sure everyone has access to the web. 【答案】1 visit→visiting 2. your→our 3. And→But 4. didn’t→don’t 5.去掉 worse前的more 6. regular前的has→have 7. recent前的the→a 8. a privilege前的to→as 9.this→it 10.and后∧that 【解析】 【分析】 本文是一篇记叙文,主要告诉我们现在虽然网络已经成为了人们生活中司空见惯的东西,但是世界上仍然有很多人无法上网。 【详解】1.考查分词。句意:当我们前往咖啡馆或朋友家的时候,大部分情况下,我们第一个要的东西都是WIFI密码。句中when引导时间状语,动词visit与主语we构成主动关系,且与谓语动词ask for同时发生,要用现在分词做状语,所以要把visit改为visiting。 2.考查代词。句意:WIFI密码就像因特网一样成为了我们所需要的基本事物。句中应该使用our与第一句中we保持一致,且句子使用形容词性物主代词形式,所以要把your改为our。 3. 考查连词。句意:WIFI密码就像因特网一样成为了我们所需要的基本事物。但是根据技术类网站Digital Trend,世界上高达百分之60的人还无法上网。根据句意可知上下文为转折关系,而and表示并列关系,所以要把And改为But。 4. 考查时态。句意:根据技术类网站Digital Trend,世界上高达百分之60的人还无法上网。本句讲述的是目前存在的实际情况,应该使用一般现在时,而didn’t是过去时,所以要把didn’t改为don’t。 5.考查比较级形式。句意:在不发达国家,情况更加糟糕。句中worst是bad的比较级形式,而more要放在多音节词前面表示比较级,bad是单音节词,本句中的more是多余的。所以要删除more。 6. 考查主谓一致。句意:只有十分之一的人能够经常上网。当分数百分数做主语的时候,如果后面的名词是可数名词复数,谓语动词用复数;如果后面的名词是不可数名词或可数名词单数,谓语动词用单数形式。本句中people表示复数概念,谓语动词要用复数形式。所以要把has改为have。 7.考查冠词。句意:这就是为什么在美国最近的一项调查中百分之68的被调查者认为网络是特权而不是一项人权。句中名词survey意为“调查”,是一个可数名词,本句中泛指一个调查,而the表示特指,所以要把the改为a。 8.考查固定搭配。句意:这就是为什么在美国最近的一项调查中百分之68的被调查者认为网络是特权而不是一项人权。动词短语think of…as…意为“把…当作…”,所以要把to改为as。 9.考查形式宾语。在英语里只有it可以作形式主语或形式宾语,this不能充当形式宾语。本句中it作为形式宾语,真正的宾语是后面的宾语从句。所以要把this改为it。 10.考查宾语从句连词。当动词后面有两个或两个以上的宾语从句时,第一个宾语从句的引导词that可以省略,后面从句的引导词that不能省。本句连词and后面引导的是动词believe的第二个宾语从句,连词that不能省略,所以要在and后面加上that。 第二节 书面表达(满分25分) 52.假定你是李华,《芝麻街》杂志征稿讨论“中学生是否能带手机进入学校”问题。请 你给编辑写一封信说明你校情况并发表你的看法。要点包括: 1. 你校手机使用情况; 2. 带手机进学校的好处和坏处; 3. 你的看法和建议 注意:1. 词数100左右; 2. 可以适当增加细节,以使行文连贯。 Dear Editor, __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Yours Faithfully, Li Hua 【答案】Dear Editor There is a growing concern over the smart phone use among teenagers at school. Though our school makes it clear that phones are not allowed, a minority of students tend to ignore it. Once getting caught, they are severely punished. Now I’d like to go into details of the topic. In fact, we often enjoy a lot of benefits of phones. Firstly, it enables us to keep up-to-date with the current events. Besides, it’s likely that we encounter like-minded people and share common interests. Apart from that, smart phone can boost multitasking and decision-making ability. Nevertheless, the disadvantages of phone use should also be brought to our attention. In terms of our health, long exposure to smart phone does great harm to our eyes and affects brain development. For students, there is nothing like smart phone that gets us distracted when we are trying to concentrate on study After weighing the pros and cons, I conclude that it’s never a good idea to allow students to mobile phones to school. In everyday life, we should use phones moderately and wisely. 【解析】 【分析】 本文是应用文中的书信,要求考生把自己当成李华,《芝麻街》杂志征稿讨论“中学生是否能带手机进入学校”问题。请给编辑写一封信,说明你校的情况并发表看法。本文要求考生自行组织要点,总体难度较大。 【详解】第1步:审题。根据文字提示可知本文是一封书信,要求考生把自己当成李华,给《芝麻街》写信说明你校学生是否带手机进入校园的情况并发表你的看法。全文以一般现在时和第三人称为主。 第2步:组织要点。(1)你校手机使用情况:尽管学校明文禁止携带手机进入学校,但仍有少数同学带手机进校。(2)带手机进入学校的好处:及时了解最新事件;可以与志趣相投的人分享共同的兴趣爱好。提高处理多任务的能力;坏处:伤害眼睛;影响脑部发育;分散学习精力。(3)你的看法和建议:应该禁止学生带手机进入校园,学生应该更为合理使用手机。 第3步:根据提示及关键词组进行遣词造句,关键词为a growing concern、a minority of 、ignore、keep up-to-date with the current events、share common interests.、bring to our attention、 get sb distracted等。同时注意书信的惯用语和习惯表达。 第4步:连句成文,注意使用恰当的连词进行句子之间的衔接与过渡,书写一定要规范清晰,保持整洁美观的卷面是非常重要的。 【点睛】本篇范文结构完美,条理清晰。时态和人称运用准确,内容全面无遗漏,所提及的建议合理。考生运用了多样式的句型结构,整篇文章富有变化并不死板。尤其是使用了较多的高级词汇,如a minority of、distract、concentrate on、moderately等;尽量运用高级语法结构,如分词做状语Once getting caught, they are severely punished;定语从句there is nothing like smart phone that gets us distracted when we are trying to concentrate on study 等;同时文章还运用了一些串联成分,如apart from 、nevertheless等;这些串联词让各个要点更为紧密地结合在一起。以上写作技巧的运用提升了文章的层次,显示了考生具有很强的驾驭语言的能力。 查看更多
