The Spring Festival is very important to Chinese people. In the past，people could not often have meat，rice or other delicious food. They could only eat these during the Spring festival. So every year they hoped that the Spring Festival would come soon. Now， although people‘s life is much better，and we can eat the delicious foods everyday. People still like the festival. Because most people can have a long holiday，and we are free to go on a trip or visit our friends or have parties with our family. In the evenings，we can have a big meal in the restaurant or stay at home with family and watch the TV programs.

I like the Spring Festival very much. How wonderful the Spring Festival is！

Progress in science and the improvement of living conditions have led to the rapid growth of the world population. Modern medicine, for example, has made it possible for babies to grow up healthily and for people to live longer. With improved living conditions, particularly in the countryside, people tend to have larger families. As a result, the world population has increased so rapidly that it has now exceeded 6 billion.

But the overgrowth of population presents a threat to the existence of human society. A large population demands a GREat deal of food supply and shelter space. However, limited productivity and scarce world resources can hardly meet the needs of the ever-increasing population. Thus, in the long run, the overgrowth of the world population will only harm mankind.

To guarantee the steady development of human society, mankind must realize the consequences resulting from fast population growth and carry out a family planning programme. Only by adopting effective measures, can human society develop steadily and have a bright future.

us fresh air. As greenhouse effect is getting more and more serious, planting

more trees is an effective way to respond to it.

being eroded by floods. Besides, trees can be applied to against desert.

Moreover, trees perform the function of the regulation of air temperature and

humidity. This benefit to people’s fitting to the environment.

Last but not least, trees are a kind of material of paper making, which

makes our life and communication between people more convenient.

From what has been mentioned above, we can get the conclusion that trees

improve both our environment and life, it is necessary for us to plant more

trees.

I do not think deeply about the life the significance, my life instead crosses very much meaningful. Even I do not need to know that anything is the life, so long as lived is sufficing. The significance when you seek for it, it only then exists, when your further seeks, it will vanish. Perhaps, only then in we felt when the life does not have the significance, only will then go to seek for it. As for found or not, depended entirely on individual lucky chance, because that was not individual strength can decide. we are not are living depending on the significance, but when we are not is living depending on the significance, our persons status has received the question, will this will test us be a qualified person. If in a person life had never thought tracks down one kind of significance, has never tracked down one kind of significance, has never had outside the material spiritual pursue, then he will be a personality damage person.if a person is only wants to live, so long as he had the basic survival to suffice, do not be too many. If he wants to enjoy, that he wants the thing will be many, not very easy to achieve.

But from says thoroughly understands the life significance the innate person, also has not seen their life to have anything different kind.

The class teacher and we discussed the "food security". In todays society, human food safety has been a serious threat.

Now the children all like to eat snacks, and addicted to eat. Although parents tell them who is bad to the body, but they still continue to buy snacks, just have a fair into a "sneak". In the snack, the children to buy one of the most dangerous, is the spicy dry tofu.

Understanding on the Internet, I learned the spicy dry tofu is composed of metamorphic pork, plastic bags, such as some are unsafe, unhealthy materials again.

So I advise you not to eat spicy dry tofu also dont eat snacks again as far as possible.

There are a lot of people like to eat mutton string, and believe. It tastes very good taste, and there is a sheep shan wei, let people think this is the authentic lamb kebabs.

这一节课老师与我们讨论了“食品安全”。在当今社会，人类的食品安全已受到了严重的威胁。

现在的孩子们都喜欢吃零食，而且吃上了瘾。尽管家长们告诉他们那些是对身体不好的，但他们还是一如既往的买零食，只不过有光明正大变成“偷偷摸摸”。在零食中，孩子们买的最危险的，就是辣条了。

在网上了解，我的得知辣条是由变质的猪肉，塑料袋等一些极不安全，又不健康的材料制作而成。看那些图片，有些工作人员在加工时，竟把脚放在了上面，这是多么不卫生啊!所以我劝大家不要再吃辣条了也尽量不要再吃零食了。

羊肉串，相信也有很多人喜欢吃。它吃起来口感很好，而且有一股羊膻味，让人们以为这就是正宗的羊肉串了。其实不是，羊肉串虽叫羊肉串，但是谁能保证上面的肉一定是羊肉呢?说不定是猪肉，这还算好的。有些竟是用老鼠肉做的，这样你还吃的下去吗?你可能会问：“羊膻味又是怎么来的呢?”羊膻味是把“羊肉串”放在羊尿里泡上一些时日，然后冲洗一下，这样一串串“香喷喷”的羊肉串就被烤出来了。说到这里，不用我劝，相信你就已经不会再吃了吧?

现在，肉不可以吃，蔬菜也有危险，大部分蔬菜都会打农药，所以大家洗蔬菜时一定要清洗干净再吃，毕竟它会危害家人的健康。

现在，食品安全得不到保证，人们的健康受到威胁，所以制作食品的叔叔阿姨们要保证食品的安全，保证人们的健康。

As is known to all， food is a priority for the mon people.Recently，

however， reports about food problems have often been seen in the newspapers，

showing that people have always been concerned about what they eat every day.

The reason for this problem is that some of the food producers are too fond of

making money， leading to the result that they use whatever will make the food

look good or taste better without considering the bad consequences。 This is not

normal because people just cannot live without eating anything.

So we should take all the measures necessary to forbid the food producers

to make food that is not safe enough. Laws should be strengthened and the

government should have more control over these producers。 Only when people are

no longer worried about whether their food is safe or not can they enjoy a

better life.

Mid-Autumn Festival The 15th day of the 8th lunar month The joyousMid-Autumn Festival was celebrated on the fifteenth day of the eighth moon， around the time of the autumn equinox（秋分）。 Many referred to it simply as the "Fifteenth of the Eighth Moon".This day was also considered as a harvest festival since fruits，vegetables and grain had been harvested by this time and food was abundant.

Dear Jack,

Im glad to have received your e-mail but I am sorry you are having some

trouble in making friends.

In my opinion, friendship is one of the most important things in everyones

life because without friends we will suffer loneliness. If you would like to

take my advice, youll win real friendship. First, why not communicate with your

friend when possible and tell him/her what you think about friends and

friendship and let him/her know that you want to make friends with him/her.

Secondly, you should learn to share your happiness and sorrow with your friends.

Thirdly, it would be a good idea if you like to invite him/her to join in some

activities such as swimming and ball games, which can make you learn to

appreciate your friends and cherish your friendship.

I hope you will find these opinions and ideas useful. Best wishes!

“英语说明文”，顾名思义，就是一种以“说明、解释”为主要表达方式的英语文体。它是对客观事物的性状、特点、功能和用途等等做科学解说的。它既不像故事那样重在情节的叙述和描写，也不像议论文那样，重在阐明主张和论点论据；更不像科幻作品那样富于想象和虚构夸张。说明文是通过解说事物、阐明事理，使人们增长知识和技能。说明文是高考英语阅读理解题中的重点内容之一。说明文具有与自己特点相适应的说明方法，因此说明文结构复杂，专业术语多，易于拉开考生分数档次，便于高校分层次选拔人才。然而对于考生来说说明文抽象度高，解题难度增大了。高考对说明文的考查多为科普知识，动植物特性、自然现象和新产品、新工艺介绍以及人文地理、风土人情等方面的说明文，文中解释性、定义性、说明性的句子居多。因此考生要掌握说明文的命题特点，叙述方式，以冷静的心态阅读原文，重点突破长句结构特点和逻辑关系，以便对其做出准确的语意理解。

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(1y)Finally、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.

"Try and try until you succeed." This saying shows the importance of perseverance. I have found through experience that only through hard work can we succeed.Many people have failed in their work or studies, precisely because they had no perseverance. Life, in general, as in many things we do, has never been easy. No one promised us what it would be.

So, if we want to succeed in life, we must be brave to win. This is the standard that differentiates people who succeed in life and those who dont.

登高重阳最重要的节日活动之一，即是登高。故重阳节又叫“登高节”。登高所到之处，没有划一的规定，一般是登高山、登高塔。当然人们登高也不单是攀登而已，还要观赏山上的红叶野花，并饮酒吃肉，享受一番，使登高与野宴结合起来，更有吸引力。如隋时孙思邈《千金方·月令》：“重阳日，必以看酒登高远眺，为时宴之游赏，以畅秋志。酒必采茱萸、菊以泛之，即醉而归。”记隋代风俗，已与后世近似。在南宋的《梦粱录》卷五载：“日月梭飞，转盼重阳。……是日‘孟嘉登龙山落帽，渊明向东篱赏菊’，正是故事。”

南宋韩元吉《水调歌头·九日》上片：“今日我重九，莫负菊花开。试寻高处，携手摄展上崔嵬。放目苍崖万仞，云护晓霜成阵，知我与君来。古寺倚修竹，飞槛绝尖埃。”描写了重阳赏菊及登高观景的韵致。由于重阳为秋节，节后草木开始凋零，所以有称重阳节野游活动为“辞青”，与三月春游“踏青”之说法相对应。清潘荣陛《帝京岁时纪胜》记：“(重阳)有治看携酌于各门郊外痛饮终日，谓之‘辞青’。”这也是一个颇有诗意的名称。在陕北正式收割的季节，有首歌唱道：“九月里九重阳，收呀么收秋忙。谷子呀，糜子呀，上呀么上了场”。陕北过重阳在晚上，白天是一整天的收割、打场。晚上月上树梢，人们喜爱享用荞面熬羊肉，待吃过晚饭后，人们三三两两地走出家门，爬上附近山头，点上火光，谈天说地，待鸡叫才回家。夜里登山，许多人都摘几把野菊花，回家插在女儿的头上，以之避邪。在福建莆仙，人们沿袭旧俗，要蒸九层的重阳米果，我国古代就有重阳“食饵”之俗，“饵”即今之糕点、米果之类。

宋代《玉烛宝典》云：“九日食饵，饮菊花酒者，其时黍、秫并收，以因粘米嘉味触类尝新，遂成积习”。清初莆仙诗人宋祖谦《闽酒曲》曰：“惊闻佳节近重阳，纤手携篮拾野香。玉杵捣成绿粉湿，明珠颗颗唤郎尝”。近代以来，人们又把米果改制为一种很有特色的九重米果。将优质晚米用清水淘洗，浸泡2小时，捞出沥干，掺水磨成稀浆，加入明矾(用水溶解)搅拌，加红板糖(掺水熬成糖浓液)，而后置于蒸笼于锅上，铺上洁净炊布，然后分九次，舀入米果浆，蒸若干时即熟出笼，米果面抹上花生油。此米果分九层重叠，可以揭开，切成菱角，四边层次分明，呈半透明体，食之甜软适口，又不粘牙，堪称重阳敬老的最佳礼馔。

一些地方的群众也有利用重阳登山的机会，祭扫祖墓，纪念先人。莆仙人以重阳祭祖者比清明为多，故俗有以三月为小清明，重九为大清明之说。由于莆仙沿海，九月初九也是妈祖羽化升天的忌日，乡民多到湄洲妈祖庙或港里的天后祖祠、宫庙祭祀，求得保佑。

新中国成立后，重阳节的活动充实了新的内容。1989年，我国重阳节定为老人节。每到这一日，各地都要组织老年人登山秋游，开阔视野，交流感情，锻炼身体，培养人们回归自然，热爱祖国大好山河的高尚品德。

Mid-autumn Day is more or less like Spring Festival. It falls on the 15th

day of the 8th lunar month. Its an important day for our Chinese, because its

a family reunion day.

On that day, there will be a big family dinner. Everyone who works outside

will go back home for the union. And they also eat moon cakes, which are the

special food for this festival. There are various kinds of moon cakes. They are

so delicious that everyone enjoys them very much.

In the evening, the moon is so bright and round, so people always prepare

some fruits and moon cakes and put them under the moon so as to pray for the

health and security all the year round. It seems that everyone is so happy.
