I’m very happy to receive your letter, and I’m glad to hear that you will go to China to learn Chinese here. I have already found a fiat for you. It is on Fangcao Street, which is not far from Jianxin Chinese School. Bus No.11 can take you there, and it is one stop before the Chinese School. The flat is on the third floor with 3 rooms, one of which is bedroom, the other two are bathroom and kitchen. There are a bed, a sofa, a desk and some chairs in this 25 square-metres small fiat, and the rent is 500 yuan per month. Maybe this fiat is not as good as your wish, but I’ll try my best to meet your needs. If it is not suitable enough, write to me and I will look for another better place.
Hope you will come here soon!
All the best!
Yours,
Li Hua

A Letter to the University President
Dear Sir,
I am writing to put up some suggestions concerning our teaching and campus life.
As a sophomore from the Math Department, I am quite satisfied with the present condition of my university, but I餯 like to say that there is still some room for improvement.
First, I believe that more attention should be paid to the guidance of our study methods. To some extent, university students are capable of studying by themselves, but more often than never, we find ourselves at a loss as to choose good books to read and appropriate topics for our research. It is clear that we need some advice from our teachers. If our teachers can lecture more on how to learn by yourself for us, especially for the freshmen, our skills will be further improved.
Second, more activities should be conducted to make our campus life more colorful. I餸 sorry to say that the present life on campus is quite boring. Every day we have classes, read in the library, or stay in the dormitory. Life here is routine. We need more meaningful activities organized to enrich our college life and enable us to study more efficiently.
一、说明文阅读理解的特征 一般说来,英语说明文与其它文体一样,文章所涉及的内容不外乎以下几个方面,即Who→What→When→Where→How→Why。
1. Who:问的是这篇文章的主体是谁?(即所要说明和描述的人或事物)
2. What:问的是主体做了什么事情?(即主体表现出的特性、功能和用途)
3. When和Where:是在何时何地发生的`?(即何时何地所表现出的特性、功能和用途)
4. How:通过什么方式表现出来的?
5. Why:这种特性功能用途的原因是什么?
做说明文阅读阅读的时候,一定要记住上面的Wh-word。边阅读,边搜记,牢记要点,把握全文。
二.说明文阅读理解的类型 掌握说明文阅读理解题的类型对考生来说非常有必要。一般来说,高考对阅读理解的命题类型主要有以下几种:
1. 细节理解题
说明文中考查的细节理解题大致与记叙文相似。命题区域都有其共同点。⑴在列举处命题。如用First(1y、Second(1y、Third(1yFinally、not only…but also、then、in addition等表示顺承关系的词语列举出事实。试题要求考生从列举出的内容中选出符合题干要求的答案项。⑵在例证处命题。句中常用由as、such as、for example、for instance等引导的短语或句子作为例证,这些例句或比喻就成为命题者设问的焦点。⑶在转折对比处命题。一般通过however、but、yet、in fact等词语来引导。对比用unlike、until、not so much…as等词语引导,命题者常对用来对比的双方属性进行考查。⑷在比较处命题。无端的比较、
相反的比较、偷换对象的比较,经常出现在干扰项中,考生要标记并且关注到原文中的比较,才能顺利地排除干扰。⑸在复杂句中命题。包括同位词、插入语、定语、从句、不定式等,命题者主要考查考生对句子之间的指代关系和语法关系。
细节类问题一般都能在原文中找到出处,只要仔细就可以在文中找到答案。但正确的选择项不可能与阅读材料的原文完全相同,而是用不同的语句成句型表达相同的意思。
2. 语义猜测题 说明文为了把自然规律,事物的性质等介绍清楚或把事理阐述明白,因此学术性强的生词较多,所以常进行生词词义判断题的考查。命题方式多以The underlined part “…” in Paragraph…refers to….或What does the underlined word mean?或What is the meaning of the underlined word?为设问方式。解题时考生应认真阅读原文,分析其对某些科学原理是如何定义、如何解释的,并以此为突破口抽象概括出生词词义。也可以通过上下文来猜测某个陌生词语的语意。或者找出某个词语在文章中的同义词。要注意破折号、同位语从句、定语从句、插入句等具有解释、说明作用的语言成分。说明文在阐述说明对象时易发生动作变换、人称转变的现象,这类题目常以 it,they,them 等代词为命题点,因此考生要根据上下文语境,认真阅读原文,分析动作转换背景,弄清动作不同执行者,以便准确判断代词的其实际指代对象。
3. 主旨理解题
说明文常用文章大意判断题考查考生对通篇文意的理解。即对文章的主题或中心意思的概括和归纳。主要考查考生对文章的整体理解能力。命题形式常以This passage mainly talks about ____.What is the main idea of the passage?为设问方式。这种试题多以This passage mainly talks about the major
surprising findings about….为回答方法。答题时首先阅读题干,掌握问题的类型,了解试题题干以及各个选项所包含的信息,然后有针对性地对文章进行扫读,对有关信息进行快速定位,再将相关信息进行整合、甄别、分析、对比,有根有据地排除干扰项,选出正确答案。
4. 判断推理题。
这种试题常以The passage is intended to...(2 The author suggests that...(3 The story implies that…(4 Which point of view may the author agree to?(5 From the passage we can conclude that...(6 The purpose of the passage is to...为设问方式。这种题型的答案在原文中不是直接就能找到的,它要求考生进行合理的推断。如因果关系,文中的某些用词、语气也往往具有隐含意义,考生要将这种含义读出来。说明文常出现图示判断题,这种试题可以事物之间正确的依赖关系为命题点,要求考生判断其正确的流程顺序相互关系等。考生一定要认真阅读原文,并对照原文介绍的情况,弄清图示的差异,根据题干需要最终做出正确判断。如:动物介绍性说明文常出现动物能力判断题,考查考生对特定动物所具有能力的判断。解题时考生应认真阅读原文对动物形态活动能力的判断,了解动物的生存环境和是否会使用工具,是否善于爬行、飞翔和游泳等。
观点态度题也是判断推理题考查的内容之一。说明文的对象为客观事实,但设题以议论的表达方式抒发对该说明对象的想法。如对某种新发明的赞赏,或对某个事物的批判。这类题目常见的题干表达方式有"What was the author?s attitude towards ...?" 等。
【实例探究】 Northwest China is part of the sandstorm centre in Central Asia. Sandstorms begin in desert areas. Sandstorms in China appear to have increased in recent years as a result of "desertification". This is a process that happens when land becomes desert because of climate changes and because people cut down trees and dig up grass.
【问题设计】
According to the passage which is NOT likely to cause "desertification"?
A. Climate changes. B. Cutting down trees.
C. Digging up grass. D. Saving water.
我们生活在当下。
这是最美好的时代,也是最糟糕的时代:我们赚的钱更多了,人情味却更少了;我们的交通工具更先进了,公交车上站着的老人却更多了;我们登上月球探索太空,却不愿伸手帮助对面的邻居;我们的股市价格一路狂升,价值观却成倍地下降;我们的社会都知道“此仇不报非君子”,却怎么也流行不起来“滴水之恩,当涌泉相报”……
而社会上数不胜数的忘恩负义之人,仇视一切事物之徒,更加深了社会道德危机。人们的心越来越狭隘,只懂索取、不懂回报之人,仿佛充斥着整个社会。
记得曾读到一则故事:一对老夫妇遇到一个赶着回家过圣诞节的'年轻人。年轻人买不到车票,在大雪纷飞的夜晚无法回家。老夫妇邀他共度圣诞节,遭到推辞后,竟主动将自己的车借给了年轻人。这样的举动令人感动,但接下来的事却让人心寒:这年轻人再也没有回来,从此杳无音信。
一位著名作家在谈到社会道德时,也曾说到他自己的亲身经历。他在一次散步时捡到一个钱包,打电话找到失主后,失主没有半句感谢之词,竟还要求他把钱包送还失主家中。
我们感叹丛飞节衣缩食为贫困学生捐款,却也愤慨在他重病之时无人援助;我们感叹雷锋无私地为人民服务的精神,却也无奈于现在有些中小学生不知“雷锋”为何人!
当整个社会呈现出暧昧的姿态时,我们需要一种有质感的态度来面对社会道德危机。这便是:滴水之恩,当涌泉相报!
一位即将不久于人世的老人,将自己的儿女唤到跟前,一一叙说何人何时帮助过自己,教导子孙们要报答人家。虽然老人一生坎坷,遭受过不少人的陷害,但他自始至终未提一句,只把感谢留给后人。这是我见过一个老人留给世界最好的礼物。他让人们明白了感激的力量与回报的感动。
一位女士把自己430元稿费,很随意地捐给了西北一个素未谋面的小女孩,但这位女孩却把她的恩德深深地记在心里,即便在贫困的条件下,仍坚持给她写信——虽然这位女士已忘了这件事。小姑娘的善良、知恩让人欣慰。
我们感叹华农大学生小李的爱心,更为那个四年级的女生深深感动;我们感叹大批青年出国深造,更感叹他们中不少人回国报效的高尚。
西方有位哲人说:“别人爱我,我爱别人,这是小爱;我爱别人,别人爱我,才是大爱。”所以基督教有句:施比受有福!
无论东西方,无论古今,“滴水之恩,当涌泉相报”都是我们为人处世的准则,它将促使我们的社会变得有思想、有内涵,它让我们可以遥望一个美好的未来。
名师点评
此文紧紧围绕“滴水之恩,当涌泉相报”这一论点,先从反面切入,指陈“社会上数不胜数的忘恩负义之人,仇视一切事物之徒,更加深了社会道德危机”;然后援引东西方典型事例与名言警句,由反及正地进行论证,其间“当整个社会呈现出暧昧的姿态时,我们需要一种有质感的态度来面对社会道德危机”起到了很好的过渡作用;最后再次强调有感恩之心是“我们为人处世的准则”,呼应前文,结构严谨。
综观全篇,现实性、针对性很强,材料丰富,表达严密,不少语句还富含哲理。由此不难看出,这位考生思想境界比较高,对人生有深刻的思考,作文功底也非常┰实。
