第七部分：短文写作

（第51题，30分）

一、基本写作步骤

1．审题

所谓审题，就是审清作文的要求和所给的材料，如图表说明、关键词、段首句、提纲等等。审题是写作的第一步，也是文章成功的关键所在之一。在考试之中，由于时间仓促，心情紧张，匆忙审题，造成离题万里的现象屡见不鲜。因此可以说能否审清题意是作文、乃至考试成败的关键。在平时进行写作练习的时候，就要有意识地养成认真审题，仔细研究的良好习惯。

弄清作文要求之后，就要确定文章的主题思想。主题思想明确、深刻，才能确保文章言之有物，顺理成章。围绕主题去构思、写作文章，才能思路清晰，不致节外生枝离题万里。 2．提纲

提纲有利于作者理清思路。尤其在考场上，根据提纲写作，能写出层次分明，逻辑性强，表意清晰的好文章，可避免考试时由于情绪紧张而造成的不应有的失误。

提纲有多种类型，可详可略，写作时也可根据自己的经验和特点编写适合于自己的提纲。常见的提纲种类有罗列式提纲、主题式提纲、句子式提纲。所谓罗列式提纲，就是根据题目和所给材料，围绕中心思想，罗列一系列相关的词、短语或句子。主题式提纲比较简略，只写出文章的主题思想即可，写作时依据主题思想，围绕重点，进行扩充和展开。句子式提纲比较详细，顾名思义，就是用句子把文章的主要观点写出来。 3．成文

文章的组织结构：一定要按所列提纲写。一般分为开头、正文、结尾3部分 （1）开头；如引语法、主题句法、提问法、事例法、描述法等。 常用句式：

① There is an old /popular saying /proverb which says /goes…..

② Nowadays more and more people are beginning to be aware of the importance/ seriousness of …

③There are different opinions among people as to …Some believe … Others, however, disagree with it. They think…

④….has been playing an increasingly important role in our day-to-day life. It has brought us a of benefits but has created some serious problems as well. ⑤ One of our ancient philosophers said, …..Chinese people have always been holding this idea to be one of their standards of morality. (2) 主体： 要注意启承转合，常用句型：

① On the contrary, there are some people in favor of ……. They believe …..Moreover, they think…..

② There are many ways to ….. First, _____. Second _____. Finally, ______. ③ Confronted with______, we should take a series of effective measures to _____. For one thing, ____. For another, ______. Finally, _______. (也可用于结尾) ④ Although the popular belief is a fact, a current study(survey/investigation) indicates that... (3) 结尾

总结文章的主要内容，或者提出希望或展望未来，或者对文章提出的观点进行反问，启发读者思考。如：An open China has realized the importance of business. Why should we give up this opportunity and rely on agriculture? 常用句型：

① From what has been discussed /mentioned above, we may conclude that… ② Therefore, it is not difficult to draw /come to the conclusion that…. ③ Only in this way/ in doing so, can sth. be really ….

④ Given the reasons /consideration I have just outlined/ discussed/ presented, I strongly recommend that …..

Although more and more working people are realizing the importance of physical exercises, they cannot spare their limited time to do some exercises because of the heavy burden of supporting their families on their shoulders. Apart from that, their daily lives at the office cannot provide them with the exercise their body needs. Lack of physical exercises is one of the main contributing factors to poor health among the working people.

Some people take it for granted that some lucky numbers can bring them good luck.

On the contrary, there are many people who won't agree, and they claim that numbers have nothing to do with luck. They regard numbers simply as mathematic symbols for counting. They are anything but a mystery. They laugh at those who think numbers can bring good luck.

I'm in favor of the latter opinion. I think our society is very modern now. We mustn't count on the so-called lucky numbers to fulfill our wishes. Whether we can have good luck depends on ourselves. If we work hard, good luck will come to us. (186 words)

You should write 150 words or so and you should base your composition the outline below.

1．假冒伪劣商品充斥于各个角落 2. 假冒伪劣商品的原因和危害 3．怎样杜绝假冒伪劣商品 Sample writing:

On Fake Commodities

Today, there are many fake commodities sold in the market. Some can do great harm to us. Why there are so many fake commodities?

There are always two reasons, I think. First, the factories spend less time and less money in producing the fake commodities than the good ones. In this way, they can make a greater profit. Second, the fake commodities are always cheaper and many people like to buy them. As a result, the fake commodities became more and more widely spread. It's very obvious that fake commodities are harmful. For example, there is a man just catching a cold. If the man takes some fake medicine, perhaps he will get worse, or even die. He is so poor just because he has bought some fake commodities. The fake commodities do harm to the people, at the same time, they do harm to society.

Many factories selling good commodities will go bankrupt in a short time, which will cause many workers out of work.

There are many ways to eliminate fake commodities but the following ones may be effective. First, the laws of the protection of consumers should be enforced to severely punish those who produce or sell fake commodities. Second, consumers should be taught how to tell good commodities from fake ones. Third, they should be advised to protect their own interests and not to be led astray by false advertisements. In a word, the whole society should pay close attention to the problem of fake commodities and launch a campaign against them. Only in this way will fake commodities be possibly eliminated from the market in the future. (272 words) （四）评论型作文

An old saying goes like this, \ Lincoln once remarked, \ （2）分析引语的句式

From this saying, we can see / know / conclude that…

This saying / statement tells us / reveals / shows / points out that … 3. 例文

Directions: For this part. You are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay entitled The Way to Success by commenting on Abraham Lincoln's famous remark, \me six hours to chop down a tree, and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.\ Sample writing:

The Way to Success

Abraham Lincoln once observed, \will spend the first four sharpening the axe.\As far as I'm concerned, this remark can be interpreted as follows: If you want to successfully achieve a certain goal, you must be well prepared for it at first. A good preparation involves sufficient learning, good strategies and a healthy mentality.

To be well prepared, you must first equip yourself with the required knowledge and skills. Only in this way can you move smoothly in all kinds of tough and complex situations. In the process of preparation, you will formulate good strategies which can contribute to reducing the potential mistakes, thus leading to higher efficiency. Finally, you must learn to cultivate a healthy mentality. You must be fully prepared for the possible setbacks you may encounter and devote yourself wholeheartedly to whatever goal you pursue.

假如你是Jim Lee，你最近对你所在班的60名同学（男女各半）进行了上网目的的调查。现在调查结果（如下表所示）用英语给某报社的编辑写一封信报告此事，以引起舆论的关注。

注意：

1.报告应包括图表所示的内容；

2.叙述调查结果时要避免重复使用百分比； 3.叙述过程中要适当添加评语； 4.词数：150左右。 Sample writing: Dear Editor,

I'm very honored to write this letter to you about a survey I have recently made among 30 boys and 30 girls in my class about their purposes of getting on the Internet. The girl's favorite is chatting, and the portion of those fond of chatting is 35%. On the contrary, very few boys like chatting on the internet, accounting for less than 5%. What the boys like doing most is playing games and reading news is just next to that. Both boys and girls like reading news and sending e-mails on the Internet. Maybe they think it's the most convenient way to get the latest information. In order to keep themselves well informed about the development of the world affairs, they have taken advantage of the internet. What we should pay attention to is that only a very small part of the boy and girl students, use Internet as a tool to study despite its great convenience and promptness. As far as I am concerned, students

should make good use of the internet to serve them both in their life and study, especially in the latter perspective. What do you think about it?

I'm really looking forward to getting your reply. Best regards for you.

Yours sincerely,

Jim Lee
