protection。

Thank you for your concern 。

As too much use of plastic bags has caused serious white pollution , our

government encourages us to use environmental –friendly shopping bags。

These

bags are made of a variety of materials that can be easily treated when they bee

rubbish。 Besides， they can be reused 。 More and more people have realized the

advantages of such bags and started using them 。

I believe that the wide use of these shopping bags can greatly improve our

environment 。This is one of the many steps we are to make our country an even

cleaner place。

在“万方乐奏”中寻找“中国味”

我喜欢音乐，但不太懂音乐。因为我没有专门研究过音乐知识，既不识简谱，更不懂五线谱。不过，积多年之经验，我还是能分辨出不同国度和地域的音调。欧美的、非洲的、印巴次大陆的、日本的，等等。虽说不出个所以然，但做出判断还不是太难的。

各国和各民族的音乐都有着自己的历史渊缘，不仅曲调源于自己的生活和特殊情感，而且也离不开特定乐器作为载体。因此，音乐世界的丰富多彩是显而易见的。

正因为音乐具有历史渊缘，人们首先都适应和接受本国和本民族普遍认同的音乐形式和音调，音乐家一般都在本国本民族音乐的基础上考虑进一步提升和光大的问题。

鲁迅说：“只有民族的，才是世界的”。我以为这里有两层意思。一是只有得到全民族的认同，才有资格成为世界大家庭的组成部分。二是世界本身就是由各具特点、丰富多彩的东西所构成的。没有自己的特点，就得不到大家的认同，也就无法成为世界的组成部分。

音乐也是这样。当我们阅尽琳琅满目的世界寻找归去的路，不由自主还是想起蕴藏在国乐中让人魂牵梦绕的味道，这是顺理成章的。

尽管这个世界是相互包容的，但要有“中国味”才能站得住。西洋乐器固然在世界范围内影响力巨大，接受度剧增，但在中国至少在魂上还有着自己的坚持。交响曲我们有《北京喜讯到边寨》、钢琴曲我们有《黄河》、小提琴我们有《梁祝》，等等，不一而足。它们在形式上已突破了传统国乐，因为其中用了西方的“器”，但谁又能说他们不是中国的呢？关键是其“体”还是我们的。

音乐是人类共同的喜爱，这是共性。但因国家民族及所处地域的历史文化各异，音乐也就有了各自特点的多样性，这体现了个性。共性即寓于个性之中，没有个性就没有共性。从这个意义上说，有意识地寻找“中国味”，正是为了在音乐上促进这个世界的和谐并向着大同迈进。

I have a best friend, I can only use one word to describe her - thin. Her fingers can be like a bamboo, face on both sides of the narrow if sunken go in, let a person feel she has a cold and lonely, but her personality, on the contrary, she is a kind and brave man, she is my good friend -- small kaori.

One day, she took a walk through in the class, found that there are a lot of garbage on the ground, he picked up the broom swept up. After a while, a classmate came and said to her: "alas! Monitor to this extent, poor thing." He said with a smile: "everybody is responsible for keep the classroom environment health, I am the class monitor, it should be a good start. Even if Im not the monitor, I will do it."

In a short time, the whole class was her clean, I used to ask her: "dont you tired?" She did not cash out in front of me tired, but happy said: "in such a good learning in the classroom, again tired also worth it."

Her behavior and talk made me feel ashamed of myself, I can see so much waste in our class is not clean. Shes right, to do well every classmate, he must do. The composition

My friend is a very sensible monitor, let I touched her helpful phenomena, from here, I know that shes every move add beauty to the class, she let you felt happy because of her presence.

我有一个要好的朋友，我只可以用一个字来形容她——瘦。她的手指可像一枝竹子一样，脸狭两边好像凹了进去，让人觉得她有一种冷漠、孤独的样子，但她的性格恰恰相反，她是一个善良、勇敢的人，她就是我的好朋友——小薰。

有一天，她在班里走了走，发现地上有许多垃圾，便拿起扫把扫起来。过了一会儿，有一个同学走过来对她说：“唉!班长沦落到这种地步啊，真可怜。”他微笑着说：“保持课室环境卫生人人有责，我是这个班的班长，更应该带好头做起。就算我不是班长，我也会这样做。”

不一会儿，整个班被她打扫得干干净净，我过去问她：“你不累吗?”她在我面前没有变现出累的样子，而是开心的说：“能够在一个这样好的教室里学习，再累也值得。”

她的行为和说话让我感到惭愧，我看见我们班这么多垃圾也不清洁一下。她说得对，要每一个同学做好，自己必须做好。作文

我的朋友是一个非常懂事的班长，她乐于助人的现象让我感动，从这里我知道：她的一举一动都为班级增添美丽，她让大家因为她的存在而感到幸福。

导语：人类的每个进步都伴随着反面的因素，微信是人际交流的空前发展，但也是使信息大幅贬值、人际矛盾急速上升的渊薮。下面是yuwenmi小编为大家整理的优秀英语作文，欢迎阅读与借鉴，谢谢!

Nowadays, WeChat is becoming more and more popular in the world. Different people, however, hold different opinions on this matter. Opinions are divided into two groups.

According to some people, there are lots of reasons for the popularity of Wechat. First of all, it is easy to use. You can log in to it with your phone number and start a conversation by tapping the speak button. In addition, Wechat is a wonderful platform for people to share an ample amount of information. It even supports sending photos and videos. Meanwhile, using Wechat, you can also do group chats, or find new friends nearby to talk to, which helps make many friends and express your feelings and opinions more freely.

On the other hand, some people argue that although Wechat benefits us a lot, it has some drawbacks. When using WeChat, people tend to forget time and some may even get addicted to it, which will definitely affect their study and work. At the same time, spending too much time on the screen does affect eye health, which may cause trouble. Worse still, people may reveal their personal information while using it, which may lead to crimes.

As far as I’m concerned, everyone is supposed to exploit Wechat within limits. As a student, I acknowledge that Wechat is not only beneficial but also dangerous. Therefore, I insist that we shouldn’t spend too much time on it. We should balance life’s competing interests--- in a student’s case, study, health and safety. And it’s of vital importance for us to protect ourselves when we use it.

【参考译文】

如今，微信是世界上越来越受欢迎。然而，不同的人对这件事持有不同的意见。意见分为两组。

对于一些人来说，有很多的微信流行的原因。首先，它很容易使用。您可以登录到它与您的电话号码，并开始交谈，轻敲发言按钮。此外，微信是人们分享大量信息的一个很好的平台。它甚至支持发送照片和视频。同时，使用微信，你也可以做群聊，或找到新的附近的朋友交谈，这有助于使许多朋友表达你的感受和意见更自由。

另一方面，一些人认为，虽然微信能带来很多好处，它有一些缺点。使用微信的时候，人们往往会忘记时间，甚至可能会沉迷于它，这肯定会影响他们的学习和工作。同时，在屏幕上花费太多的时间会影响眼睛的健康，这可能会导致麻烦。更糟糕的是，人们在使用时可能泄露个人信息，从而导致犯罪。

就我而言，每个人都应该利用微信的范围内。作为一个学生，我承认，微信不仅是有益的而且危险的。因此，我坚持认为我们不应该花太多时间在上面。我们应该平衡生活的竞争利益---在学生的情况下，学习，健康和安全。对我们来说，保护我们自己是非常重要的，当我们使用它。

The Best Kind of Love

i’m young again!” she shouts euberantly.as my friend raves on about her new love, i’ve taken a good look at my old one. my husband of almost 20 years, scott, has gained 15 pounds. once a marathon runner, he now runs only down hospital halls. his hairline is receding and his body shows the signs of long working hours and too many candy bars. yet he can still give me a certain look across a restaurant table and i want to ask for the check and head home.

when my friend asked me “what will make this love last?” i ran through all the obvious reasons: commitment, shared interests, unselfishness, physical attraction, communication. yet there’s more. we still have fun. spontaneous good times. yesterday, after slipping the rubber band off the rolled up newspaper, scott flipped it playfully at me: this led to an all-out war. last saturday at the grocery, we split the list and raced each other to see who could make it to the checkout first. even washing dishes can be a blast. we enjoy simply being together.and there are surprises. one time i came home to find a note on the front door that led me to another note, then another, until i reached the walk-in closet. i opened the door to find scott holding a “pot of gold” (my cooking kettle) and the “treasure” of a gift package. sometimes i leave him notes on the mirror and little presents under his pillow.there is understanding. i understand why he must play basketball with the guys. and he understands why, once a year, i must get away from the house, the kids -and even him -to meet my sisters for a few days of nonstop talking and laughing.

there is sharing. not only do we share household worries and parental burdens - we also share ideas. scott came home from a convention last month and presented me with a thick historical novel. though he prefers thrillers and science fiction, he had read the novel on the plane. he touched my heart when he eplained it was because he wanted to be able to echange ideas about the book after i’d read it.

there is forgiveness. when i’m embarrasssingly loud and crazy at parties, scott forgives me. when he confessed losing some of our savings in the stock market, i gave him a hug and said, “it’s okay. it’s only money.”there is sensitivity. last week he walked through the door with that look that tells me it’s been a tough day. after he spent some time with the kids, i asked him what happened. he told me about a 60-year-old woman who’d had a stroke. he wept as he recalled the woman’s husband standing beside her bed, caressing her hand. how was he going to tell this husband of 40 years that his wife would probably never recover? i shed a few tears myself. because of the medical crisis. because there were still people who have been married 40 years. because my husband is still moved and concerned after years of hospital rooms and dying patients.

there is faith. last tuesday a friend came over and confessed her fear that her husband is losing his courageous battle with cancer. on wednesday i went to lunch with a friend who is struggling to reshape her life after divorce. on thursday a neighbor called to talk about the frightening effects of alzheimer’s disease on her father-in-law’s personality. on friday a childhood friend called long-distance to tell me her father had died. i hung up the phone and thought, this is too much heartache for one week. through my tears, as i went out to run some errands, i noticed the boisterous orange blossoms of the gladiolus outside my window. i heard the delighted laughter of my son and his friend as they played. i caught sight of a wedding party emerging from a neighbor’s house. the bride, dressed in satin and lace, tossed her bouquet to her cheering friends. that night, i told my husband about these events. we helped each other acknowledge the cycles of life and that the joys counter the sorrows. it was enough to keep us going.finally, there is knowing. i know scott will throw his laundry just shy of the hamper every night; he’ll be late to most appointments and eat the last chocolate in the bo. he knows that i sleep with a pillow over my head; i’ll lock us out of the house at a regular basis, and i will also eat the last chocolate.

i guess our love lasts because it is comfortable. no, the sky is not bluer: it’s just a familiar hue. we don’t feel particularly young: we’ve eperienced too much that has contributed to our growth and wisdom, taking its toll on our bodies, and created our memories.i hope we’ve got what it takes to make our love last. as a bride, i had scott’s wedding band engraved with robert browning’s line “grow old along with me!” we’re following those instructions.

“if anything is real, the heart will make it plain.”

It is exciting to visit different places. As you travel you will see beautiful sceneries typical of the region. Besides you can meet and make friends with people of different colors and races. Finally you can get to know the customs and living habits of the local people. Today people are so fond of travelling that tourism has become one of the faster growing industries in most countries.

The main reason why people travel is perhaps for pleasure. For example having worked hard throughout the weekdays people will find a widened trip to the nearby mountains or beaches a real relaxation. For another example spending an annual holiday travelling abroad is an especially satisfying experience for those who do not have much of an opportunity to be away from their homelands. When people return from their travel they will generally feel fresh and energetic ready to work harder.

Spring is tht best season of the year. The weather gets warmer and warmer. My clas iamates and I took a one-day sightseeing around our city.The scene was pretty. But when we saw the rivers along our city, I felt very sorry, and thoughit a lot.

With the development of modern agriculture and industry, more and more waste water is being poured into rivers. It has caused serious pollution. The river is becoming so dirty that no living things can live in it. The river is giving off a terrible smell.

We make an urgent appeal that measures should be taken to cope with the situation. Our government should start building various facilities such as sewage treatment!plant and encourage scientists to work out more and better ways to reduce the pollution of water.

Water is tho source of our lives. It is very important to protect water.

春天是一年中最好的季节，天气变得越来越暖和。我和我的同学们进行了一次环城一日游，所到之处景色宜人。但当我看到沿着城区流过的河流时，我感到很惋惜，想了很多。

随着现代工农业的发展，越来越多的污水排进河里，河水被严重污染。河水变得如此的肮脏以致于生物不能在里面生活。河水发出难闻的气味。

我们急切呼吁采取措施改变这种状况。政府应当建立各种设备，例如污水处理厂，并且鼓励科学家们想出更多更好的办法以减少水污染。

水是生命之源，保护水资源十分重要。

My classmates and I had an outing this spring. We had a good time. But meanwhile I noticed that water pollution in our city was becoming more and more serious.

On our way, we could see women washing clothes in the river. Litter was floating on the river. Waste water produced by a chemical factory was being discharged into the river. We did not see any fish in the river. The fiver was not so clear as before. Water quality was very bad. I am worried

about it because water is important to all living things. Man can not live without water. I hope people pay more attention to this problem, especially the government. Try to control the pollution of water as early as possible.

At last I would like to say, "To protect water is to protect life."

今年春天，我和我的同学去春游，我们玩得都很高兴。但同时，我也注意到我们城市的水污染变得越来越严重了。

沿途我们看到许多妇女在河边洗衣，河面上漂着垃圾，一家化工厂正将废水排入河中。河中看不到一条鱼，河水也不像从前那样清澈了，水质很差。对此我深感担忧，因为水对于所有生物都非常重要。没有水人类将无法生存。我希望人们能多关注这个问题，特别是政府部门，争取及早解决水污染问题。

最后，我想说“保护水就是保护生命。”

Pollution: a Social Problem-污染 —— 一个社会问题

When we read newspapers, we often come across the word pollution. This word was not familiar to the people some decades ago. But now, it is a serious threat to us because.it means the poisoning of the air, seas, rivers and lands, which would do harm to our health.

There are many factories that bring pollution to us. We can not have fresh air in the morning. This is mainly because of the poisonous smoke coming from factories, especially chemical ones. In rivers, seas and oceans, there are industrial wastes. Some factories just throw their wastes into seas or let them flow into rivers. When people drink the water from such rivers, they get poisoned. Besides, there is rubbish from ships and when sometimes an accident occurs in an ocean, oil flows out from tankers.

On land, the accumulation of rubbish in the streets may dirty the city and ruin our health. This is mainly due to the improper disposal of rubbish by people.

If we do mot fight against pollution, surely one day all of us will be killed. Some people like to put the blame on the industrial revolutions. On the contrary, the pollution problem will be solved only with the help of modem science and technology.

我们看报的时候，经常会看到“污染”这个词。这个词对于几十年前的人来说并不熟悉。然而对于我们来说，它是一个严重的威胁，因为它意味着危害空气、海洋、河流和土地，进而对我们造成伤害。

有很多工厂给我们带来了污染。早上我们呼吸不到新鲜的空气。这主要是因为这些工厂里排放出有毒的气体，尤其是化工厂。在江河湖海里到处都有工业垃圾。一些工厂把废弃物排放到江河和海洋里。人们喝了这里面的水就会中毒。除此之外，还有从船上扔下来的垃圾和海洋里发生事故的船只流出来的油。

在陆地上，街道上乱扔的垃圾不仅影响市容，还危害我们的健康。这主要是因为人们对垃圾的不正确的处理。

我们如果不对污染采取措施，总有一天我们会被杀死的。有些人总爱把这归咎于工业革命。相反，污染问题还必须靠现代科学和技术来解决。

高考英语的满分作文 2008年奥运会和我 The 2008 Olympic Games, and me

The year of 2008 is getting closer and closer to us. We need to take actions from now on to prepare for the game. What we need to do most is to work on our disadvantages and shortcomings. As a student of Senior high, I can do my own part. Although I can’t transform our city into more a beautiful place on my own, I can help Beijing in small ways and encourage our classmates and people around me to follow my lead.

2008年离我们越来越近了，我们必须从现在开始采取行动，来为奥运会做准备。我们最需要做的，是克服缺点和改进不足之处。作为一名高中生，我们可以做我们力所能及的事情。虽然我不能光靠我自身的力量把这座城市妆点得更美丽，但我可以用自己的方式，来改变北京并且鼓励我的同学们和我周围的人和我一起做。

Let me take the environment for example, the atmosphere around Beijing is quite disappointing, factories and cars keep giving off exhausts into the air, we can hardly see the blue sky with our naked eyes, because the sky is covered with a thick layer of harmful substances. The sky is gray instead of blue. To our delight, the government has passed some laws of protecting the air, and we can do something useful, too. For example, whenever we go out for a long distance, ride the bike or take the buses and subways instead of taxis. You may not have a clue how it works. Of course doing that only by one person is far from enough, but we can let more people do that together. In that case the result may be more than we bargained for.

让我以环境为例，北京周围的大气环境比较令人失望，工厂和汽车不断地向空中排放废气，我们几乎用肉眼看不到蓝色的天空了。因为天空被一层厚厚的有害物质所覆盖， 天空成了灰色，而不是蓝色。令我们高兴的是，政府已经出台一些保护大气环境的相关法规。我们呢，也可以做一些有用的事情。比如说，每当我们要出远门的时候，骑自行车或乘坐公交车和地铁来代替出租车。你可能不知道这会有什么用。当然，只靠一个人的力量是远远不够的，但是我们可以让更多的人一起去做。 这样的话，结果才有可能收效显著。

Another thing we need to work on is our English skills. Teachers and parents often put great emphasis on our English skills especially listening and speaking. I want to be a volunteer in 2008, to be an interpreter. For now, I must do something helpful to improve my spoken English. Rome isn’t build in a day, so is English. It can’t be improved in a day or two. It takes time and energy. There are no shortcuts to improve your spoken English; the most productive way is to grab all opportunities around you to open your mouth. For instance, taking part in all kinds of English contests is a good way, you can meet some excellent contestants, and you can share the experience of learning and some good method of learning. I will keep participating in all English activities to polish up my English. I’m sure by the year of 2008, I will be able to master English well just as my mother tongue.

我们需要做的另一件事，是提高我们的英语水平。老师和家长总是着重强调要提高我们的英语能力，尤其是听力和口语方面，在2008年，我想成为一名志愿者，做一名口语翻译。现在我必须做一些有助于提高我口语的事情。“罗马非一日建成”，英语也不可以在一、两天内得到提高。它需要花费很多的时间和精力，在提高口语方面，没有捷径可走，最有效的方式就是抓住身边的机会开口讲英语。比如：参加各种英语竞赛是一种很好的方式。你会遇到些非常优秀的选手，与他们交流学习体会，借鉴好的学习方法。我将继续参加各类英语活动，来提高我的口语能力。我相信在2008年，我将会像掌握母语一样熟练掌握英语。

All in all, I’m sure that Beijing Olympic Games will be one of the most successful Games in history. I believe our long-cherished dream will be fulfilled in a perfect way! 总之，我相信， 2008北京奥运会将是有史以来最出色的奥运会之一，我坚信，我们长时间以来的梦想会以完美的方式得以实现。

是。有些种类的污染，甚至是致命的人。现在是时候，我们采取了一些措施来解决这个问题。我认为我们可以先号召人们注意这个问题，使他们将是它的严重后果。然后，我们可以通过一定的法律来制止发送垃圾工厂。最后，我们可以做更多的调查工作，看看如何来处理废物。...

一、上海卷作文题写作题目(70分)

预测，是指预先推测。生活充满变数，有的人乐于接受对生活的预测，有的人则不以为然。请写一篇文章，谈谈你的思考。

要求：(1)自拟题目;(2)不少于800字。

二、专家点评

这道作文题延续了上海卷一贯的风格，富有思辨色彩。关于对未来的预测，每个人都不陌生，但生活充满变数，对未来的预测不一定准确，那么应该如何对待这种预测?预测的依据有多少合理性?过去、现实与未来究竟有没有如同草蛇灰线一般有规律可循?对未来的预测能在多大程度上影响自己和他人的现实生活?有没有一定的积极性，比如使人的生活变得更加富有目标和条理性?

这些问题都可以在写作中加以思考，从而更好地认识自我与社会的关系，个体命运与社会的关联性等。写作时应体现出对变与不变、人事与天命、预测与不可预测等等的辩证思考。

莱昂纳多曾说：“我不过分注重结果，只在意过程。”如其所言，结果有时其实并不重要，只要过程辉煌且不留遗憾，那么即使天空不留痕迹，鸟儿也已傲然飞过。因此，学会在拼尽全力后云淡风轻，是佛家的“随缘”，更是一个人的高尚境界。

全力以赴对待过程，是一个人追求与野心的表现。1938年恢复高考制度，易中天跃跃欲试想要重回课堂。1939年恢复研究生考试，易中天鼓起勇气报名参加。可只有高中文凭的青年，想要用三个月跨过三年的门槛，谈何容易?但易中天不服输，他挤出全天中除工作外的所有时间，挑灯夜读，勤学苦背，在全力以赴的90天拼搏后拿下了武汉大学古典美学的研究生学位。他说：“考不上我不丢脸，考上了我赚了，为什么不拼尽全力试一试?考上了，你的一生都会变轨。”正是由于这种不懈的努力和追求，全力以赴的易中天成功了，获得了荣誉与赞扬。所以，学会全力以赴的对待过程。就可以为自己的未来添上翱翔的翅膀。

云淡风轻对待结果，是一个人修养与胸襟的体现。著名作家史铁生，文学著作无数，可也有一段艰辛岁月。母亲患病离世，自己双腿残疾，与小妹相依为命……青年的是史铁生怎么也没有想到，自己的人生会如此坎坷。可是母亲生前的激励和窗外菊花的傲然绽放使他正式结果，重新振作，于是《秋天的希望》《我与地坛》相继问世，它用云淡风轻的态度战胜了残疾，收获了人生果实。

反观当下，有多少人只注重结果成功与否而忽视了过程。为得到名利场上的官职，不惜玩弄手段丧失品德;给孩子报辅导班，只要成绩不满意，就当接大闹呼喊赔钱……这些事情不仅丢失了中华民族的优良传统，而且泯灭了人的本心。学会等待一朵花悄悄开放，学会在激烈的唇枪舌战后甘心服输，看似没有任何作用，但其实，那是你修养自身最高贵的途径。

雨果曾说：“让内心藏着一条巨龙，既是一种苦刑，也是一种乐趣。”将理想放在心头，像飞蛾扑火般用尽全力追求，然后无论失败与否，都云淡风轻地面对，你会发现即使失败，那也是你成长路上最浓墨重彩的一笔。
