分析 本篇写作题材是社会现象的两种不同观点．主题是关于"太空探索是否值得"这一话题的讨论，这种文章一般层次比较清晰，四段：第一段为总述；第二段正方观点及依据；第三段反方观点及依据；第四段自己观点．要注意的是1．在列举双方依据时要尽量使语言多样化；2．自我观点表达时要有正确的判断，要有辩证的思维．一篇文章需要有正确的句子才能明了清晰的表达作者的意思．考生应明白高考书面表达题既不是汉译英，也不是可任意发挥的作文．它要求的是将所规定的材料内容经整理后展开思维，考查运用所学英语知识准确地表达意思的能力．
【亮点说明】文中使用了非常好的短语和句子为文章增色不少，比如be worth doing，far away from，spend on，be used to，On the other hand，benefit from，enable sb．to do，on the other hand；还运用句型whether引导的宾语从句．并注意了句子的衔接如：firstly，secondly，such as，What's more，Also 等等．

点评 英语写作是一项主观性较强的测试题．它不仅考查学生的写作基础而且还考查学生在写作过程中综合运用语言的能力．在撰写时要注意主谓语一致，时态呼应，用词贴切等．要提高英语写作水平，需要两方面的训练：一是语言基础方面的训练，要有扎实的造句、翻译等基本功，即用词法、句法等知识造出正确无误的句子；二是写作知识和能力 方面的训练以掌握写作方面的基本方法和技巧．
