高考英语热点时态命题分析
英语一共有16种时态,中学阶段比较常用的有10种,但高考英语对时态的考查主要涉及四种,它们是一般过去时、过去进行时、现在完成时、过去完成时。去年全国18套高考英语试卷共涉及时态考点21道题,但其中有19题考的是上面提到的四种时态,约占整个时态考点的90%。由此可见这四种时态不仅重要,而且很“热”。
最新五年(2004~2008)全国高考试题单项选择
命题趋势
单项选择填空,主要考查考生所学过的时态、语态、短语、习惯用法、语法、交际用语等语法项目以及灵活运用这些语言语法项目的能力。该题型所考查的内容覆盖面广,知识及信息含量大。具体来说,主要包括以下语言语法项目:
1. 冠词
2. 名词
3. 代词
4. 形容词、副词及它们的级
5. 连词
6. 介词
7. 数词
8. It的用法
9. 动词(动词词组、非谓语动词、虚拟语气等)
10. 倒装
11. 从句
12. 情景交际及其它
最近5年来,高考题中,单项选择这一题型的考试,出现了以下一些命题趋势:
1. 纯语法项目的考题越来越少,取而代之的是灵活多边的英语知识和能力的综合考查以及大量的交际英语方面的情景交际对话:
2. 四个备选项中,应排除的三项越来越具有迷惑性。考生如不考虑该题特定的语意情景,往往无从下笔,从语法角度上来看,难以选择正确答案;
3. 进年来,由于大纲越来越强调交际英语以及运用英语的能力,这一题型的题量和赋值有逐渐减少的趋势。这一点,广大考生以及第一线的老师应有所了解。
应试对策
考生在答题时,思维应清晰,主应考虑到:
1. 细心审题,解析每一个考查要点;
2. 分析题干以及备选项所提供的全部信息;
3. 要注意所考查的语言语法项目在特定情景下的特殊用法,尤其要排除母语的干扰;
4. 注意时态、语态、主动、被动以及结构一致性;
5. 利用排他法排除干扰项;
6. 学会猜题也是一种技能,如无法判定正确答案,可选择表面上极不可能的选项。

动词填空题的解题诀窍
德清一中 wangwaihang
今天打开电视机,中央台正在播学校关于“减负”,“补课 ”等话题的大讨论,说实话,我们一线的老师看到这,要么 “ be outspoken about…” 要么 “ to keep silent”。
不说不开心的话了,还是言归正传吧。
动词,是最多,最复杂,最生动的词,而英语又赋予了它比汉语还复杂的用法,所以能准确而又熟练的掌握它,真是很多学生的梦想,我这里把自己总结独创的方法抛出来,望能对大家有点小小的帮助,那我也就开心了。
看题:
1.The magnificent building _____ (stand) in the middle of the square.
分析:首先,我是以一个简单句来参照的。也许,你会问,什么是“简单句”,问得好,那就是一个主语,一个谓语,一个宾语。当然,有时,主语没有,那是祈使句;有时,宾语也没有,那是因为,谓语是个不及物动词。但无论如何,谓语动词,是必不可少的。
接下来,我就要说出我总结的小秘密了,可要看清楚了哦,不然,我会生气的!
我把作谓语的动词用V1表示,不作谓语的动词(或叫作非谓语动词)用V2表示。
V2(或叫作非谓语动词)有三种形式,我叫它们“三剑客”,即:-ing, 表主动,正在进行;-ed表被动,已经完成;to do表将来或目的 。
好了,我们再回来看这个题,首先让学生找V1,因为本句只有一个动词,所以,stand 就是V1,换句话说,它就作谓语。------大楼矗立在广场中央,用主动,第三人称单数,答案是stands.
2.______ (turn) left, and you will see a building . That is the hospital.
分析:也许,你会说,你在忽悠谁啊,别急,看此题。
首先告诉学生,这道题,要记住一个关键词:and ,并列连词。既然是并列,那就得平起平坐,and 后面是句子you will see a building,那and 前必然也得是句子,换句话说,turn是作V1的。好了,既然是句子,没有主语,那只能是我前面讲的祈使句,祈使句的特点就是“动词原形开头”。所以答案是Turn.
3.Sometimes people
can feel the earth ___________ (shake).
分析:哎,你这人怎么还在忽悠啊,那V2到现在还没出场呢,这怎么解释?别急,看此题:
首先让学生找V 1,。。。找找找,找找找,找到了吗吗吗吗?哦,找到了,那不就是“feel”吗?聪明!好,按照我先前讲的,一个简单句只能有一个谓语V1,所以,你这可怜的shake 只能是V2了,即:非谓语动词---几种选择???? 三种,对了,不是我讲的三剑客吗?好了,再来把shake逻辑主语the earth 划道横线,判断一下这二者之间的关系,既:主动还是被动。 好了,地球晃动是主动,而-ing表示主动,所以不就是shaking了吗?
这下总该不骂我了吧。
4. _______(enter) the room, I found him lying in bed, lost in thought.
分析:这道题,首先叫学生怎么办?
告诉你,一定要先看逗号“,”,让学生找这逗号后面有没有“and”一词,你那聪明的学生马上会汇报:没发现目标。哈哈,是的,那就好。我们知道,如果有“and”,那就表明前后都得是句子,因为and是并列连词,既然你后面的I found him lying in bed, lost in thought是句子,那前面也得是句子。可事实上没有and呀,那就表明前后两部分不能平起平坐,即:_______(enter) the room 不能是句子,那也即:enter 不能作V1,只能作 V2。
弄清楚了这些,那好办了,现在叫学生用笔把逗号“,”后的 “I”划一下,并用笔拉一个箭头到enter处,判断一下是主动还是被动:”I----- enter”是主动,好了,三剑客中,哪个表主动呢:不就是那个-ing 么?所以答案就是:Entering.
练习:
1. What he said just now _________(remind) me of the American professor.
主语 V1
said为过去时,所以V1也用过去时,即:reminded
2. The professor _____________(refer)
to at the meeting is from
V2 V1(已确定了)
V2:三种选择,判断The professor和refer之间的关系,是被动,所以选择过去分词,即:referred
3. In the United States, lunch __________(provide) for students for free at school.
V1
判断lunch和provide之间的关系,是被动,因为它是作V1,所以要加动词be, 即:is provided
4. --- What shall we do this weekend? --- I suggest _______(visit) the Dinosaur park.
V1 V2
因为suggest后面选择V2的-ing形式,I 和visit之间是主动关系,所以答案是:visiting
5. I’m afraid this is the best way (we can think of )________(help) you.
V1 V2
在这里,学生很容易把we can think of这部分弄混,告诉他们,这是个定语从句,修饰way的,然后再理解:什么最佳方式?哦,是去帮你的方式,还没有帮,选择V2的哪一种呢?哦,是to do ,所以,答案是to help
6. They _________(run out) of their water and food, which worried them a lot.
V1 关键词
在这里首先让学生找关键词,找which,which告诉我们前后都应是句子,也即: “They _________(run out) of their water and food” 部分是句子,所以run包out作V1,再看后面的worried一词,是过去时,而用完水应该是worried前提,所以比worried要先发生,所以用过去的过去,即过去完成时:had run out
7. Our school ______(offer) more than 20 optional courses for students to choose from this term. V1 V2(已知)
判断our school和offer之间是主动关系,从意思上来看,应该是完成了,所以用现在完成时,即:has offered
8. Have you ever considered __________(travel) abroad.
V1 V2
判断you 和travel之间是主动关系,而considered后面选择V2的-ing形式,所以答案是:travelling
9. He was reported ___________(cover) 30 miles on foot that day.
V1 V2
be reporeted 后面一般选择V2的to do形式,而再从意思上去分析,那天的步行应该是完成的,还应用完成时态,所以答案是:to have covered
10. He lay in bed with his eyes closed, _________(listen) to the music over the radio.
V1 V2
解释同上面的第4点讲解,然后判断一下he 和listen之间是主动关系,所以答案是:listening
综观以上几个题的分析,也许,会有点眉目,只要坚持练习和强化,效果必然是非常明显,我已经得到证实了。
望你们的徒儿们和你一道披荆斩棘,到达高考的西天,去取得高考的真经。
阿弥图拂!哈哈。

参考范文
Three brothers, who worked for the same company , received different wages due to their different attitudes towards their work, which shows right attitude is of great help to one’s life.
Their different attitudes towards their work result in their different wages. From the story I can conclude that those who take positive attitude towards work will be rewarded.
Different attitudes lead to different results. Take Xiao Hua as an example. They are both my classmates. Not only does he put his heart into study but he is also helpful both to teachers and students. So he has become a top student in our class, even in the grade. With his diligence and concentration, he is bound to succeed in entering his ideal university. However, Xiao Li never cares about his study because he is addicted to playing games, he turns a deaf ear to the teachers’ advice. As a result, he falls far behind others in his study.
In my opinion, attitude is everything. No matter what you do, you must do it well even if you may fail many times. Sooner or later you will be rewarded for your positive attitude towards your work or life.

Snacks can be a good way to stop your hunger and get the vitamins your body needs. But you need to pay attention to what you eat. Choosing healthy snacks means shopping smart. Be careful of the health claims on food packages. Just because something says “all natural” or “pure” it doesn’t always mean it’s good for you. Be careful of low-fat food claims, too. If the fat has been cut back the amount of sugar in the food may have been increased to keep the food tasting good. Many low-fat foods have nearly as many calories as their full-fat versions. Here are some ways to make healthy snacking part of your everyday routine.
*Keep healthy snacks with you. Keep plenty of fresh fruit and vegetables at home, so you can take them with you when you go out.
*Satisfy cravings (渴望) with healthier foods. If you’re crazy about chocolate, try a hot chocolate drink instead of a chocolate bar. Trade ice-cream for yogurt. If you want something salty, eat whole grain biscuits instead of potato chips.
*Pay attention to the amount you eat. As with everything, moderation (适度) is the key to smart snacking.

Possible version:
The author of the passage intends to inform us of the necessity for teens to choose healthy and moderate snacks, which is beneficial to their health. He also suggests to us some ways to make healthy snacking part of our daily life.
As we know, some snacks are high in fat or sugar. Taking too much fat can result in obesity. And most fat people act and react slowly, which has a bad effect on their work and study. Worse still, they are liable to some diseases, such as high blood pressure, high blood sugar, heart trouble and so on.
It’s highly advisable that those who are crazy about snacks should eat snacks when necessary. For example, after you take exercise and feel hungry, you’d better have some healthy snacks, such as fresh fruit, nuts, raisins and so on, which is much enough to add the necessary calories or nutrients.

Dear Mengsu,
Congratulations on your success in getting such a high mark in TOEFL. Your efforts have paid off. From your e-mail I know your success resulted from full preparations and your solid language but the most important factor is that you keep practicing.
A famous saying goes that “Practice Makes Perfect”. It means it is practice that enables us to do something efficiently, esp. learning a foreign language. Any perfect accomplishment of task is the result of longtime practice. If we understand this saying and apply it to our English study, we’ll benefit a lot from it.
With the coming of the 2008 College Entrance Examination, we are busy preparing for it. In order to improve my listening, I’ll keep on listening to some programmes on VOA and BBC and also the tapes that go with the listening materials. I’ll seize every opportunity to speak English so that I can develop an instinctive feel for the English language. I’ll read all available English newspapers and magazines to enlarge my vocabulary. Keeping a diary is a good way of improving my written English. When in trouble, I’ll turn to my teachers or my classmates for help.
I hope you will give me more advice on how to learn English well and wish you a good journey to Canada.

One day, Zeng’s wife decided to go out for shopping, but her little son insisted on going with her to the market. Thinking that she would come back very soon, and that the naughty boy would bring her a lot of trouble, she was unwilling to do so.
In order to persuade the boy to stay home, she told him, “Oh, come on, good boy, if you listen to Mom and then Mom will give you a present when I am back.”
“What present are you going to give me, Mom?” asked the son.
“We haven’t eaten meat for a long time, so I will kill our pig and let you enjoy a big nice dinner.” The mother comforted the boy when it happened that their pig was wandering in front of the house. Just at that time, her husband came back and heard what she said. Thinking of the nice meal, the boy gave in.
Not very soon, the mother came back, but what she saw shocked her. It was her husband who had killed the only pig of the poor family.
“Why did you kill it? You know that it is very important for my family.” she scolded him.

Stick to what you promise
As described in the passage, Mr Zeng firmly kept his wife’s promise to his child, form which we learn that Mr. Zeng is worth depending on and good at educating children.
I can’t agree more with Mr. Zeng’s education method. Had I been his child, I would have formed a deep impression on it and gradually cultivated this quality. Just as an old saying goes, “Action speak louder than words.” If our parents themselves can do what they promise, we are likely to follow them.
The passage so well retained me the remembrance of an experience. Once, I made a promise to myself that I wouldn’t play basketball that week. Nevertheless, it is so fascinating that I even tried to persuaded myself to enjoy it. In time, I resisted the temptation and kept my promise. Since then, I have realized that it is keeping our promise that makes us feel a sense of fulfillment and wins respect from others. So, please stick to your promise.

An old man went to live with his son, daughter-in-law, and four-year-old grandson. The family ate together at the table, but his shaky hands and failing sight made eating difficult. Peas rolled off his spoon onto the floor. When he grasped the glass, milk spilled on the tablecloth. The son and daughter-in-law became angry with the mess. So they set a small table in the corner. There Grandfather ate alone while they enjoyed dinner.
Since Grandfather had broken a dish or two, his food was served in a wooden bowl. Still, the only words the couple had for him were sharp when he dropped a fork or spilled food. The grandson watched silently. One evening, the father noticed the son playing with wood scraps and asked the child sweetly, “What are you making?” The boy responded, “Oh, I am making a bowl for you and mum to eat your food in when I grow up.”
The words struck the parents so hard that they were speechless. Then tears started to stream down their cheeks. The son took gently led Grandfather back to their table. From then on, he ate every meal with them. Neither of them seemed to care any longer when a fork was dropped, milk spilled, or the tablecloth soiled.

As for me, I always showed my respect and love to the old. When I was young, I brought my questions to them for help often, which made them busy but happy. I formed a habit to take a walk with them after dinner, talking about my study, ambitions and their rich experience.
In my opinion, we should treat the old people just like what we want to be treated when we are old. Honor and respect should be given to them by their relatives and the whole society, because they are in poor health, bad mental conditions, and can’t manage everything by themselves. Besides, they’ve already contributed a lot to their family and society and they deserve love from us all. (122 words )

We Have Different Ideas!
This may be the most important choice―the turning point in my life. Never before have I been so serious. For me, a Senior Three student, which university to choose is really a hard question, especially when I hold a completely different opinion from my parents.
I’m longing for Wuhan University for its long history, beautiful campus and academic atmosphere. Besides, it’s a good chance to experience a different culture.
But to my great surprise, when my parents heard this, they are strongly against my idea. Moreover, I was shocked to find mum crying! She asked in tears, “Why don’t you stay in Guangzhou? So young a girl, how can you take good care of yourself? Wuhan, oh! It’s too far away. What if I want to see you or you want to see me?” My father also asked me a serious question, “Are you sure you can find a good job in Guangzhou after graduation?”
Actually, I’ve thought about all these. As an independent and active girl, I certainly can handle all the problems. I insist on my choice, but I really value my parents’ agreement.

Where to Go for University?
The author described a conflict between her parents and herself on whether to go to Wuhan University. As an independent girl, she wants to experience more in another city while her parents worry a lot.
As her head teacher, I have the responsibility to help solve the problem even without her begging. Firstly, I should admit I really understand your feelings. Parents always love and care for their children no matter how old they are. It actually is a great challenge for a young girl to study in another city. What’s more, when in the 4th year, she may have to come back to Guangzhou several times to seek a good job here.
As an old saying goes, every coin has two sides. If you see it in a more optimistic way, you’ll find more benefits. In my memory, she’s always independent and strong. No matter what happens, she remains calm and intelligent. As a consequence, I believe she could handle everything. Additionally, Wuhan University is a most famous university in China, so, if she spares no efforts to study, she’ll certainly get a dreaming job. Most importantly, it’s a good opportunity to broaden her horizons and make more friends.
All in all, I’m fully convinced that to study in another city is really a good way to enrich one’s life experience.

An English proverb goes like this , " Spare the rod and spoil the child ." It implies that in order to enable a child to grow healthily , parents must make him eat bitter foods, do hard work and be sent to places where he can get the fullest training and knowledge.
First of all , eating bitter foods is necessary for a child . Poor food can help cultivate in him the frugal (节俭的 ) habit and make him realize what we eat daily is the fruit of the sweat of the laboring people . Consequently , he will not be wasteful when he grows up . Secondly , parents should also make the child do hard work . Doing hard work will give him an opportunity to taste the bitterness of labor. Moreover, hard work may also enable him to cherish the fruit of other's labor. Finally , children should be sent to somewhere where life is hard if possible . Human society is full of tests and trials . Flowers from a greenhouse can never withstand a storm . Therefore, children should be allowed to face the world and brave the storm . It is in difficult conditions that young people can get the most training and learn how to solve the problems in various circumstances .

One possible version:
1).We know sometimes difficult conditions can really make a man, so parents should let their children eat bitter foods, do hard work and experience a hard life.
I grew up in an ordinary family, which is not so well off. I could understand the hardships my parents were bearing at that time. Therefore, I work very hard now in the hope of entering the university and change the situation of my family and me.
I think that in a certain sense, difficult situations can stimulate a person's potential and pave the way for him to success. One can be strong, brave and faithful after all these hardships he has gone through. All in all, as far as I am concerned, I think that flowers from a greenhouse can never withstand a storm and that a hard life is good for children.
2).To make the child grow strong, parents should make him eat poor food, do hard work, and experience life in bad conditions, with which a child will value the labour and be capable of facing hardship.
I lived a happy childhood. Not only did my parents love me form the bottom of heart, but also they gave me chances to increase my ability. My parents attached primary importance to the management of my pocket money, which led to the consequence that often I could only watch my friends eating candies with my empty pocket. This experience helped me wake up to the truth that my parents worked hard to earn a life, and so would I in the future.
As the saying goes, "No pains, no gains." it is obvious that the way one lives his childhood plays an important part in his development. If one is brought up in a family that is wasteful, he is likely to be lazy when he grows up. On the other hand, a child who lives a hard life in his childhood, learning that one must be independent and frugal to face challenge, is bound to be strong. On parents' part, they can teach the child to help support the family. More can be done apart from food, hard work and bad conditions.
Instead of being spoiled, children should eat bitter food to learn to be frugal, do hard work to learn to cherish, and be sent to somewhere tough to learn to be brave.

As for me , I prefer traditional shopping. It is really fun to go into shops and look at the goods in person . We can choose what we really need and have a good bargain. We can talk freely with others instead of a cold machine. I often go shopping with my parents on weekends and we have a very good communication every time.

Teenagers’ Secrets Should be Shared with Their Parents
This passage mainly says that many teenagers have their own secrets but parents always want to know them ,which will probably hurt children’s feeling .As a result ,children won’t like to share their secrets with their parents.
Some people believe that parents should allow their teenage children to keep their own secrets. Teenagers are going through a special period .Wondering about and puzzled by changes of their body and mind, afraid to get misunderstood when their parents know it, they choose to copy adults’ behavior secretly. Parents should respect the right of their children.
This idea sounds right but is actually wrong. Most of the teenagers’ secrets, if not at all, should be shared by their parents. Many of their secrets kept to themselves may do them unimaginable harm.

Years ago it was very difficult to travel from one place to another. The journeys were often long, tiring and dangerous. Today the picture has changed. Science has improved transportation and communication facilities a great deal. Traveling has become safer, more enjoyable and above all, more economical.
Traveling―whether within one’s country or abroad―brings many invaluable benefits. People travel for pleasure, business or for education and knowledge. In the world of yesterday most people were only able to read about strange and fascinating places across the mountains and seas. Later, with the coming of the cinema and television, man’s curiosity about faraway places with strange sounding names was further stirred up. Today man’s curiosity can be satisfied in luxurious comfort. There are first-class ships and airplanes to take him where his dreams lie.
We travel to increase our knowledge of the world in which we live. Knowledge obtained from books alone is not enough. New knowledge of different land and peoples enriches our mind and soul. Books generally do not give us a very true picture of lands beyond our shores. Some of them are even misleading.

Transportation has changed a lot during the past years. In ancient times, the fast way to travel was to ride a horse or carriage, while most people just walked. Then, people had bicycles, ships, cars and trains and now we have planes or even spaceships, which are much faster. Modern transportation helps us a lot. It offers us quicker and more comfortable traveling and brings people to closer contact. We can also get more knowledge through traveling. With the help of more economical traveling and modern media, people’s curiosity about things in other places can be satisfied.

Students should think now about what extracurricular (课外的) activities they'd like to participate in. Participating in extracurricular activities may help you deepen your physical, creative, social, political, and career interests by bringing you into communication with other like-minded people you didn’t previously know.
You can join groups as a way to get support from other students. A club or group can also be a great way to meet people who are different from you. Lots of youth programs bring people together with those who are different as a way to break down the barriers between people.
Participating in extracurricular activities helps you in other ways, too. It looks good on college and job applications and shows admissions officers and employers you're well-rounded and responsible. Specific activities help with specific goals.
The most basic reason for joining a club or team is that it gives you something better to do than staring at the wall, wandering the hall, or sleeping all afternoon. People who are participating are less likely to pick up bad habits, like smoking or drinking.

Our school offers many different kinds of after-school activities. These include sports, music and drama. I’m one of the members of drama club. I think it is very important for students to participate in extracurricular activities. Extracurricular activities can improve our social life, introducing us to new people outside our class or school. In addition, they can reduce the stress and pressure we experience as the result of our studies. Also, they can bring us a lot of enjoyment. If we feel fresh and relaxed we can study better, so they will also be good for our grades. Thus, in my view, if we focus too much on any one thing, either study or after-school activities will be negatively affected. But with the right balance both can improve. (128 words)

A lot of people think that teachers need to love their students, that they need to have an expert knowledge of their subjects, and that they should devote themselves completely to their jobs. All of these ideas are, of course, true to a certain degree but they are perhaps a little too simple.
It is impossible for anyone to love everyone they know, and teachers deal with a great large number of students over the years. On the other hand, teachers should certainly be able to make their students feel that they are concerned. A deep knowledge of the subject is extremely important, but equally important is the ability to pass that knowledge on to the students effectively ― a teacher needs to be trained in the skills of teaching. Finally, teachers have to devote a lot of time and energy to their work, of course. However, they are also models that their students must follow; so it is important that they should be well-balanced people with interests outside their school work. A teacher who only lives for work is likely to become too narrow-minded.

Ladies and gentlemen,
It’s my honor to have the chance to speak here.
Most people think a teacher should love his students, have an expert knowledge and devote himself to the job. The ideas are partly true.
In my opinion, a good teacher should love his students. However, it’s impossible for a teacher to love his every student. Besides, for a teacher, the ability to pass the knowledge on to his students is more important than his expert knowledge. A good teacher should be ready to teach the students how to learn rather than what to learn. Moreover, not only should he work hard, but also he should be a well-balanced person.
My English teacher, Miss Wang always helps us out and is concerned about us. And also, he remains young psychologically and tries hard to understand his students. She often stays with us and shares with us her experiences. She amuses us by telling jokes in class at times, which makes us learn English in a relaxed phenomenon. In addition, She keeps upgrading her knowledge and takes every chance to study.
All in all, she is a worthy teacher. I like her very much.
That’s all. Thank you.

According to Shenzhen Daily, the city’s vehicle population has reached over 1 million and 80 percent of the vehicles are private cars.
Nowadays more and more families own private cars. Private cars,
as the product of modern civilization, have been playing a vital role in
people's daily activities. Firstly, private cars are a convenient means of
transportation. You can go wherever you like. Secondly, there is no doubt that
private cars will have a great impact on the economic growth. The rapid car
industry growth will contribute much to keeping the country's economy growing
at a higher rate in the near futrue.
But every coin has two sides. The development of the
private cars will bring about a series of problems. For example, the polluted
air given off by cars will do great harm to our health, too many private cars
will lead to traffic jams and a great deal of energy will be wasted and so
on.That is why many people suggest we should go cycling in the city
instead.
However, I think that the advantages of owning a car outweigh the disadvantages. Therefore, it seems to me that China should increase its output of automobiles and enlarge the private car market. We should take advantages of private cars and make them serve us better. Meantime ,we hope that satisfactory solutions to these negative problems will be found soon.

Travel by Bike in the City
In this passage, the writer explains the advantages and disadvantages of owning private cars in the city. And he agrees to enlarge the private car market and make better use of them.
But I think bikes should be the most popular form of transportation in our city.
First, a bike is much cheaper than a car, most consumers can afford it, and if there is something wrong with a bike, people can have it fixed easily. Second, bikes need much less parking space than cars. The third reason is that it can save energy for our country. Moreover, it brings no pollution to the air, so it helps to clean the atmosphere.
Therefore, the best form of transportation is travelling by bike ,which is a healthy, “green” and economical way. But with the development of our economy, the day when we use cars as the most popular form of transportation is sure to come.

Why are so many people so afraid of failure? It is simply because no one tells us how to fail so that failure becomes an experience that will lead to growth. We forget that failure is part of being human and that every person has the right to fail.
Most parents work hard at either preventing failure or protecting their children from the knowledge that they have failed. One way is to lower standards. A mother describes her child’s carelessly-made table as “perfect” even though it doesn’t stand still. Another way is to blame something else. If John fails science, it is because his teacher is unfair or stupid.
Success, which encourages repetition of old behavior, is not nearly as good a teacher as failure. Even a failure that seems definitive(决定性的) can cause fresh thinking or a change of direction.
After 12 years of studying ballet, a friend of mine applied to a professional company. She was turned down. “Would further training help?” she asked. The ballet master shook his head. “You will never be a dancer,” he said. “You haven’t got the body for it.”
In such cases, the way to use failure is to take stock bravely, asking, “What have I left? What else can I do?” My friend put away her shoes and moved into a dance treatment center, a field where she’s both able and useful.

It’s fine to fail
Failure is something people always try to avoid, without realizing that by facing it bravely, it’ll turn out to be great value in helping their growth.
It’s natural and normal that parents stop their children from experiencing failure. Anyway, it’s been widely accepted that, by means of appreciation and encouragement, children get inspired and tend to learn more. However, this idea ignores an actual fact that life consists of both success and failure. That’s why I believe that too much protection from failure may end up with more pain ? it creates an illusive, or fake, world to kids, not a true one.
The ballet girl gives us a good example of how to face her big failure, from which we see clearly what life is really like: the great amount of time that you’ve devoted to your dream may turn out to be something wrong. The only choice you can make is to smile to it, think of what you can do with it, and decide to still go further or change your way of life. If you face it bravely enough, the failure will lead to “fresh thinking”, and possibly your life will turn on a new page.
Can success bring the same good to us? No. Failure is painful, but it makes us learn more about life. There’s no escape, and there’s no need to escape!

Middle and high school days are both fun and busy. Students spend their days in class, listening to the interesting and sometimes boring words of the teacher. They spend the short breaks running, playing, and shouting happily before going back to the classroom again. But how should students spend their free time outside school?
In Western countries, it is common for students to have a part-time job after school and at weekends. Students can earn their own money and learn more about the “real world”. They enjoy the extra independence and money, and parents enjoy the quiet house. However, it seems that, in China, parents worry so much about their children’ studies that they would prefer to see their children spending most of their free time studying and preparing for all those exams.
It is natural for parents to feel that way, but I believe the answer lies in balance. Sometimes, Western school children work long hours after school to make money, and so they become too tired to listen in class or have no time for homework. But Chinese students spend so much time on their studies that all else becomes less important until they want that new MP4 player.
So, find a good and healthy balance! If you have a part-time job, you’ll be happy, and your parents will also be happy because you’re spending your hard-earned money and not theirs!

A possible version of the writing task:
There is a great difference between the way high school students spend their free time, and the writer hopes to find a balance between studying and having fun.
What worries the writer is just what we students are confused about: can our “spare time” actually mean something “spare”?
Take me for example. Every day I have just 1 hour in the afternoon to do some sports. At weekends, I usually have lots of homework assigned by teachers to finish. Even if I want to do something else, I will often be stopped by my parents. Like many other parents, they just want me to study all the time until I am admitted to a famous university. As a result, I can’t control my “spare time” on my own! Looking around at my friends, I find I’m not alone in such a situation. What a boring life for us students!
I just don’t agree with my parents about their way of controlling my spare time. Yes, for us students, studying is the most important thing to do. But we can’t be separated from the outside world. Studying all the time, I’m afraid what we are learning can’t match the real world. I don’t want to depress my parents, of course; but I do think that we need to find a way to settle this problem.

The writer of the passage tells us that we had enough time to play in our childhood. While we are growing up, worries come upon us and our spare time is less but homework more. So we felt growing up boring.
As far as I am concerned, growing up is really boring. As a teenager, I have to deal with a lot of worries while growing up. I have to go to school very early in the morning and get home very late in the evening. And I have to take all kinds of exams every year. I am also worried about being misunderstood by friends and losing them. Although we face worries, we should seek support from our friends, parents and teacher to solve them and try to find pleasure in growing up. In fact, the path of adolescence is full of sunshine. Why not enjoy the pleasure of growing up and its delicious taste?

China news, Shanghai, October 8--- According to a random survey covering 3,800 elementary and secondary school students in Shanghai, the two groups of students have very different career outlooks. Most pupils dream of starting their own business after graduation, while high school students long for freelancing.
“It’s so cool to be your own boss, and you can decide when to start a day’s work,” said Jay (not his real name), a fifth grade pupil. The hottest topic between him and his classmates is usually about their future careers, and many of them have already had a thorough plan for the future. Jay says that he will start his business with his friends in a few years after graduating from college, when he will have already accumulated some money.
High school students’ choices tend to be more reasonable. Some of them say they will take an ordinary full-time job, while many of them also appreciate the freedom of freelancing: however, most of them will think twice before starting their own businesses, as it is extremely difficult to start a career from scratch.

I dream of being an excellent doctor after I graduate from university. First, I am told that to be a doctor, I can have a very good income. We have to admit that money is important. With it, I can live more comfortably and provide my child with a better environment. If I have enough money, I can also help the poor. Wouldn’t it be wonderful? More importantly, doctors are angels to the patients, who can help the sick get rid of pain and suffering or even give a second life to the dying. I can’t imagine how great I will feel when seeing a patient recover from the illness and live happily again because of my help.
Now what I should do is to study hard to make sure I can enter a famous medicine university, where I can get the required knowledge and skills to be a good doctor.

I started thinking about this issue at my brother-in-law's 60th birthday party last Saturday. Before we ate the main meal we sat around a table that was loaded with large bowls of snack items - chocolate-covered peanuts, cherries(樱桃), and a few other things. The eater had to reach into the bowl and grab a handful of snacks and then convey them to the mouth with the other hand. A lot of people were strangers to me and I observed a cat being carried around, a dog being petted, and a number of noses being blown, between eating handfuls of snacks. Ugh!
I started thinking about Chinese table manners. My wife and I will share things from the same plate or cup but we always put serving spoons out with the dishes on the table. We don't frequently use them, though. In my family we use our personal chopsticks to take food from the serving dishes. But we are careful and only touch the food we will eat ourselves.
I have heard of some people who use two sets of chopsticks, one for eating, and one for serving. I have also seen some people who invert their chopsticks, that is, to serve other people with the other ends that haven't touched their lips.

Table Manners and Hygiene
This passage describes the author’s experience of witnessing people’s unhealthy table manners at a birthday party, which gave rise to his opinion on the promotion of health and hygiene at dinner.
In terms of table manners and hygiene, people’s habits vary from person to person. Some of them have the preference of stirring the food, hunting for what seems to be their favourite bits, with the aid of their own chopsticks. To show hospitality, some hosts or hostesses frequently feed food into the guest’s dish, ignoring the serving chopsticks or spoons. Worse of all, some diners never hesitate to dig or blow their nose at table, making disgusting noise.
Personally, I am not quite in favour of the above manners, which is very likely to transfer / spread diseases. I absolutely agree with the author that communal or serving chopsticks and spoons are recommended to avoid the transference of any diseases while dining. There is no denying that dining together is the time for intimateness or close relationship between the relevant members or friends. However, the consideration of health and hygiene is significant as well
To conclude, priority should be given to healthy and hygienic manners at table so as to create a pleasant and harmonious dining atmosphere.

My Sports Shoes
These days I have been obssessed with a pair of new sports shoes. Now the bell for class was sending my classmates out of the classroom onto the playground. It was time for a basketball match, my favorite sport. I was on the team which won the game. I got warm congratulations from my classmates. However, I felt pain in both my feet. My old sports shoes were worn out.
I am now in need of a new pair of sports shoes. I have forgotten how many times I have stopped to admire the expensive Nike shoes on the window in Beijing Road.
Two days later, I brought my parents before the window. Mother noticed my eyes fixed on the brand-new Nike and slowly reached into her pocket. Clearly the price was higher than she could offer. She moved her eyes towards my father, who is newly out of job, for his advice. Father dug his fingers into his pockets. “Just enough for a Nike, but we need to save some money for future better use…”
In fact, my classmates will surely see what kind of shoes I wear. They are just what I love, fashionable and comfortable for a good player like me…
Now my parents read the great disappointment in my face…
