Answer 1

分析 本文为图表作文，考生需要根据数据进行分析，从数据分析原因，得出结论．时态主要为一般现在时．
（高分句型一）As is shown in the chart，senior high school students spend less time reading as their grade rises．
该句型是描写图表类作文的经典之句，As is shown in the chart，由as引导一个非限制性定语从句，as充当主语，意思是正如；
（高分句型二）with their grade becoming higher，they have more homework to do，leaving no spare time for reading．
在解释中学生为什么没有时间阅读时，首先使用with their grade becoming higher，随着年级越来越高，伴随状况；leaving是现在分词做状语，表示结果；
高级词汇：on average平均；be devoted to 致力于；attach enough importance to 赋予…重要性；
First首先；Second其次；as a consequence结果；meanwhile与此同时；

解答 Senior High School Students'Outside Reading
    （高分句型一）As is shown in the chart，senior high school students spend less time reading as their grade rises．（描述图表内容）On average，students in Senior One spend 7 hours per week reading and those in Senior Two 5 hours．Much less time，only 2 hours，is devoted to reading by Senior 3 students．
    （列举理由）Reasons are various．First，most students don't attach enough importance to outside reading．As a consequence，their reading time is often taken up by other activities．Second，（高分句型二）with their grade becoming higher，they have more homework to do，leaving no spare time for reading．
  （我的看法）  In my opinion，students should arrange adequate reading time to broaden their horizons．Meanwhile，teachers may encourage their students'outside reading by offering them a list of good books．
