题目内容

【题目】阅读下面的短文,然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英文短文。

Every morning, on his way to work, Mike passed an old man who was always at the same place with a cup in his hand hoping to get a bit of change from those who passed by. For most people, this person was someone to be ignored as if he didn’t exist, someone who they didn’t want to be bothered with. However, Mike would always say good morning to him and wish him a nice day and sometimes would drop a dollar or two in his cup. This behavior went on for several years until one day before retirement.

He told the man that he would no longer pass by because it was his last day on the job. The man took his hand and shook it warmly saying that he had always looked forward to seeing Mike not because he dropped a few dollars in his cup. He said he would miss him because he was one of the few people who said hello and bid him good day. The man also said that his warm words always brightened his day and helped him to continue.

We all have the power of words and we often do not recognize that some can be devastating(毁灭性的) while some can be encouraging.

【答案】

Every day Mike said hello and sometimes gave one dollar or two to an old man who was begging for a bit of change. His words encouraged the old man to continue his hard life.

I couldn’t agree more with what Mike did for the old man every day. Words have such great power that they can influence people greatly, either devastating or encouraging.

Words have magic power over people. A few worm words may brighten a day while just a hurtful sentence may leave a deep scar in a fragile heart. In our daily life, we should pay attention to what we say since it is like a double-edged sword.

I also experienced the power of words. It was a time when I failed in the first exam at senior high school. So depressed did I feel that I did not feel like talking to anyone at all. Yet after class my teacher Mr. Wang invited me to his office and said smilingly to me, “I hope you will not be defeated by temporary failure. Pick up your courage and prove that you are the best next time, will you?” All of a sudden, my world was brightened by his inspiring words. It seemed as if a stream of warmth flowed into my heart and instantly I was filled with energy and ambition to fight again.

【解析】

试题分析:

本题特点是“读写结合”,考查考生阅读理解、要点概括、用英语叙事说理等多方面能力。解答此类试题,除了要注意一般写作规范之外,还要准确理解所给文章的中心思想并准确予以解读和概括。

【亮点说明

本文用两个句子准确概括了Mike的作为及其对老人的意义。接着阐明“语言的力量”,最后用自己的经历证明“语言可以毁灭也可以鼓励”一个人的强大魔力。较好地完成了考题任务。作者还使用了“比喻”等修辞手法,使文章增色不少。如double-edged sword; as if a stream of warmth flowed into my heart.如果将二、三两节合并,做如下改写,文章可能会更为紧凑。I appreciate what Mike did for the old man every day. Words have magic power over people; they can influence people greatly, either devastating or encouraging. A few worm words may brighten a day while just a hurtful sentence may leave a deep scar in a fragile heart. In our daily life, we should pay attention to what we say since it is like a double-edged sword.

【题目】My mom has eyes in the back of her head. She also taught me from an early age to be suspicious of strange men, especially when they give you presents. One day, a “nice man” bearing flowers managed to steal 20 euros from her purse, while she was holding it in her hands. “He said he was collecting for a church charity so I pulled out a euro,” she explains, “He said ‘no, no, that’s too much’ and offered to look in my purse to find a smaller coin. He must have slid out that 20 euro note at the same time. I did not even notice until an hour later. I felt so stupid.”

According to neuroscientists, the key requirement for a successful pickpocket is not having nifty (熟练的) fingers, it’s having a working knowledge of the loopholes (漏洞) in our brain. The most important of these loopholes is the fact that our brains are not set up to multi-task. Most of the time that is a good thing it allows us to filter (过滤) out all but the most important features of the world around us. But a good trickster can use it to against you. This kind of trick involves capturing all of somebody’s attention with other movements. Street pickpockets often use this effect to their advantage by manufacturing a situation that can not help but overload your attention system. Other strategies are more psychological. Pickpockets tend to hang out a “beware of pickpockets” sign, because the first thing people do when they read it is check they still have their valuables, helpfully giving away where they are. And in my mom’s case, the thief’s best trick was not coming across like a pickpocket. “He was a very nice guy and very confident. Not someone that would cause you to suspect,” she says. Apollo Robbins, a stage pickpocket, said smart move, like moving your hand in an arc motion rather than a straight line, is another popular strategy employed by tricksters.

At last, it should be pointed out that most thefts are opportunistic. The skill level of most thieves is far less than you think. But they are opportunistic enough to keep up with new technology.
