a responsibility to reduce sea pollution.

I need to describe the problem. Our ship currently dumps all its rubbish

into the sea.Its easy to result in huge endanger. First of all, Non-organic

substances such as plastic bags kill fish and whales. Because fish get trapped

and whales cannot digest them. Secondly some rubbish is inherently toxic.

I can suggest some solutions. First and foremost we can create a better

system of disposing of rubbish for instance. We ought to store rubbish. Next, we

are supposed to make ships environmentally and friendly. A case in point is that

we should stop providing plastic bags.

We must act now before it is too late!

which you should lay out to people is your thought, not craft.” I will put my

personality with my interest and ability into my study, during these process I

will combine learning with doing. If I can achieve this “future”, I think that I

向未来扬帆起航

期盼，就是放飞心中的梦想，翱翔于无垠的蓝天之下。

——题记

春风又吹绿了江南，春又匆匆跑去，夏接上了这无聊的班……一年四季不停的交替着，我紧紧抓住时光，不愿它从我的身边溜走，可时光总顺着我的指尖悄悄的逝去，我拼命地与时间进行赛跑。

望着那幅《奔马图》，想着家人的话语，同个地点，同个场景，不同的事时光的流逝。“你一定要考上好的大学，不能让我们失望。”……这七嘴八舌的声音让我无法喘息，曾几何时，我已让他们有如此强大的期望了，肩上好重，心中好压抑，好想爆发，好想怒吼着说：“我没有这么强大，不要把所以的期望都放在我的身上!”可我不能，不能!我只有隐忍……刹那间，我貌似有了动力……

那幅《奔马图》上的几匹马是如此的健壮，提起脚，头向天空仰去，就好似向天空许下了一个坚定的意志，是一种不向上帝认输的坚定信念，它们想冲破一切阻碍，勇猛的，坚定不移的向前冲，奔向自己心中的那个梦想，那个目标。

沉默的我渐渐的在心中滋生了坚定的意志“我一定不能让我的家人失望，他们为我付出了太多了，我应该为他们支撑起一片蓝天了。”

彩虹无比美丽，人人皆知，但有谁想过，在这美丽形成之前，是先经过狂风暴雨的洗礼以及火球的曝晒后绽放的;有谁想过迷人的腊梅却是在风雪交加的天气下成长的。在这一切美丽的事物形成之前，总经过了各种挫折与困难的洗涤。

一只幼小的雏鹰正在渐渐的长大，她渐渐的放弃了家人给予她的羽翼，不论翱翔的路有多么的痛苦，不论翱翔的路要挥洒出多少汗水，她一定要学会飞翔更高更广的蓝天。这只小雏鹰的翅膀正在渐渐硬朗起来，她要学会自己面对一切，她要解决任何一个阻碍她前进的障碍。惋惜过去，却又不敢面对未来的我曾被深深卡在两堵让我望而却步的墙间，进退维谷，但现在我已准备好了，我抹去伤痛与泪水，站起来，迈开脚步向未来奔去。

我，想要成为一个家人心目中的佼佼者，要期盼着学业的成功与进步，我必须经历过各种的风霜。这个过程就像是一个探险游戏，在一个大森林里，只要害怕了，放弃了，走错一步后无法面对，我就会死亡于其中。

我期盼自己能成为家人的骄傲，我就必须努力，而且必须独立去克服种种困难，就像那幅《奔马图》一样，有着坚定不移的决心，好好把握时间，紧紧抓住时间，在这激流中载着我的梦想向未来杨帆起航!

It is believed that the computer is bringing the world into a brand new

era. At the time the computer was invented, scientists, marveling at its

calculating speed, felt that they had created a miracle. Nowadays, the function

of the computer is no longer confined to calculation; it permeates people’s

daily lives and has become an inseparable part of human society.

People become so heavily dependent on computers that it is hard to imagine

the life without computers. Therefore, some people are worried that “The real

danger is not that the computer will think like man, but man will think like the

computer.”

Their concern does make sense. Indeed, some people spend such a long time

working on computers that they have few interactions with people in real life.

According to a research, too many hours in front of a computer may lead to a

poker face and interpersonal isolation. This fact should arouse our attention,

because unlike computers, human beings are social creatures that need emotional

connections with others.

Yet, it is also unnecessary for us to be overwhelmed by the negative

impacts of computers. After all, we humans are intelligent and will be able to

figure out better ways to make improvements.

The Laba Festival is a traditional Chinese holiday celebrated on the eighth day of the twelfth month of the lunar Chinese calendar. "La" is the name given to the 12th lunar month and 8 is pronounced as "ba" in Chinese, which translated is "Laba." There are several legends about the origin of this festivity and we could not tell which one is true. But what we know today is that this festival started as a sacrificial offering to ancestors. It was also a time for the ancient Chinese to pray to heaven and earth that there would be a bountiful harvest. Many people hoped for good luck as well for the coming year.

农历十二月初八是中国的传统节日——腊八节，腊代表中国农历的十二月，而八是eight的发音，因此，这个节日被翻译成腊八。关于腊八起源的传说有很多，我们已经不能辨其真假。时至今日，我们确定的是这个节日起初是为了祭祀祖先，祈求丰收以及为即将来到的一年祈福。

Traditionally, the Laba rice porridge is the most important element of the festival. Generally, the porridge contains eight ingredients which can include glutinous rice, red beans, millet, Chinese sorghum, peas, dried lotus seeds and some other ingredients, such as dried dates, chestnut meat, walnut meat, almond, peanut, etc. The porridge must be boiled for many hours and then offered as a sacrifice to the ancestors. This must be done before noontime. Also, it is tradition that family members eat the porridge together. Then they leave some as a symbol of hope for a good harvest the coming year.

从传统上讲，腊八粥是腊八节最重要的元素。腊八粥通常由八种材料做成，这些材料可以是黏米，红豆，小米，高粱，豌豆，莲子和一些诸如红枣，栗子，核桃仁，杏仁，花生等谷物。粥要熬制数小时，然后作为祭品祭献给祖先。这个祭祀活动一定要在中午之前完成。之后，家人们坐在一起吃腊八粥也就成了传

Another custom is the soaking of Laba garlic. Garlic is soaked in vinegar for more than twenty days starting from Laba festival. Then when the Chinese New Year comes, the garlic and vinegar is used alongside jiaozi on the table.

腊八节的另一传统式腌制腊八蒜。从腊八节那天起，就将蒜泡在醋中二十多天，这样，到春节的时候，就可以在餐桌上与饺子同食了。

以下两题，选做一题。

要求：①内容具体，有真情实感；②除诗歌外，文体不限；③不少于500字；④凡涉及真实的人名、校名和地名，一律用A、B、C等英文大写字母代替；⑤不得抄袭。

1.人生就像是一条路，漫长而曲折。走过平坦的大道，就能感受到一路顺风的畅快；走过崎岖的小路，能感受跋山涉水的艰难。虽有苦有甜，但我们毕竟走过。

请以“我毕竟走过”为题目，写一篇文章。

2.阅读下面的材料，自选角度，自拟题目，写一篇文章。

“我只是雏菊丛中的一朵小花。”一朵雏菊伤感地叹息，“与这么多雏菊生长在一起，我的美丽完全被淹没了，根本不会有人注意到我。”

一个天使听见了雏菊的心声，规劝她说: “但是你真的很美丽！”

“我想成为唯一的一朵，身旁不要有其他任何同类！”

天使不想再听到雏菊的埋怨，于是把她带到了城市广场。

几天之后，市长带着一位园艺师来对广场进行改造。

“把土壤翻一翻，种上天竺葵吧！”

“等一等！”雏菊大叫，“你那样做我会死的。”

“如果这里还有一些和你一样的雏菊花，会对广场起到非常好的美化作用。”园艺师回答，“但是在你的周围找不到任何你的同类，你自己不可能形成一座花园。”

说完，园艺师把雏菊从地上连根拔起。

[我毕竟走过重庆中考作文题目

这学期我升入了初中，虽然我学习尽了最大的努力，但我的成绩还是不大理想。

我的语文考了69分、数学37分、英语考了76分、历史57分、生物53分、地理63分，政治67分，最让我不理想的是数学，在卷子发下来以后，有好几道题我都不会做，就因为这几道题，拉了我的分数。这次的考试让我觉得自己还是学的不扎实。以前的考试是粗心出错了，可这次的考试有好多题是不会错了。

这次的考试我们班有四门功课100的同学，这使我觉得自己有很多不足，让我觉得以后必须更加努力学习，灵活掌握知识，要奋起直追赶上和超过比我学习好的同学，学习同学们好的学习方法，加倍适应初中的学习环境，争取在下一次取得良好的成绩！

My father bought a computer as a birthday present for me last year. It

becomes my best friend in my room. Id like to play on the computer as soon as I

get home. At weekends, I often play games on line with my friends. Ive made a

lot of friends on the Intenet. But my eyesight becomes poorer and poorer, and I

am not able to finish my homework on time. Its terrible that my father will

remove the computer. From now on, I should pay more attention to my study.

在暑假这两个月的时间里，我度过了一个既丰富又快乐的暑假。第一个月我上了补习班，学到了丰富的知识。第二个月我学会轮滑啦!十分高兴。

那天下午，我的同伴通知我今晚去滑轮滑，我答应了。

来到场地，哇，好大，旁边是江面，不时一阵阵风吹来，很凉爽。我们穿上轮滑鞋，扶着围栏，慢慢走进里面。里面是用大砖铺成的，十分滑，不一会儿，我因重心不稳大摔了一跤，我边爬起来边叫疼。同伴告诉我要向前倾一点，才不会摔倒，我试了试，果然不会摇摇晃晃的。我看着别人滑得很轻松，但自己不一会儿却已经满头大汗了，那鞋几斤重，把脚抬起来十分费力气。我不知道怎么才能让它滑起来，就跑跑跑，停下来让它滑起来，但这种办法不但很费力还跟乌龟一样速度前进，我滑了半圈，同伴都滑了好几圈了。同伴见我不会，就停下来教我，把腰弯一点，然后站稳，把一只脚往外推，然后换另一只脚往外推，我试了又试，不仅速度跟同伴一样，还省了不少力，但还很生疏，有时还要被自己绊倒，摔得这里青一块，那里紫一块，这下水平跟他差不多了。我练习了一会儿，已经完全掌握这个技能了，速度也快了些，但还不会转弯。我和同伴坐在椅子上喝水歇歇，看着别人怎么弯。我们把看到的办法试了试，果然把左脚放出左边就转左，放出右脚就转右。我和同伴们手牵手滑了一圈又一圈，十分高兴。

时间在飞逝，已经十点半了，我们不得不回家了。过后，我们又去滑了几次，但还不能成为高手，但我懂得了两个道理：不经风雨，怎能见彩虹;不经磨难与挫折怎能成功。

Li Xiaohu spent too much time playing computer games and he fell behind

others. As a good/close friend of his， I must do something to help him.

First， I think it’s very important for him to learn lessons well. He should

spend most of his time on his study instead of computer games.

Secondly， I must tell him that playing computer games too much is bad for

his health， especially for his eyes. So he must give it up. I can play more

sports with him after school. Maybe he will become more interested in sports

When memory began for me, my grandfather was past sixty-a great tall man

with thick hair becoming gray. He had black eyes and a straight nose which ended

in a slightly flattened tip. Once he explained seriously to me that he got that

flattened tip as a small child when he fell down and stepped on his nose.

The little marks of laughter at the corners of his eyes were the prodnct of

a kindly and humorous nature. The years of work which had bent his shoulders had

never dulled his humour nor his love of a joke.

Everywhere he went, "Gramp" made friends easily. At the end of half an hour

you felt you had known him all your life. I soon learned that he hated to give

orders , but that when he had to, he tried to make his orders sound like

suggestions.

One July morning, as he was leaving to go to the cornfield, he said :

"Edwin, you can pick up the potatoes in the field today if you want to do that.

" Then he drove away with his horses.

The day passed, and I did not have any desire to pick up potatoes. Evening

came and the potatoes were still in the field. Gramp, dusty and tired, led the

horses to get their drink.

"How many bags of potatoes were there?" Gramp inquired. "I dont know.

"

"How many potatoes did you pick up?"

"I didnt pick any. " "Not any! Why not?"

"You said I could pick, them up if I wanted to. You didnt say I had to.

"

In the next few minutes I learned a lesson I would not forget: when Gramp

said I could if I wanted to, he meant that I should want to.

Gram hated cruelty and injustice. The injustices of history, even those of

a thousand years before, angered her as much as the injustices of her own

day.

She also had a deep love of beauty. When she was almost seventy-five, and

had gone to live with one of her daughters, she spent a delightful morning

washing dishes because, as she said, the beautiful patterns on the dishes gave

her pleasure. The bird, the flowers, the clouds-all that was beautiful around

her- pleased her. She was like the father of the French painter, Millet, who

used to gather grass and show it to his son , saying , "See how beautif ul this

is ! "

In a pioneer society it is the harder qualities of mind and character that

are of value. The softer virtues are considered unnecessary. Men and women

struggling daily to earn a living are unable, even for a moment, to forget the

business of preserving their lives. Only unusual people, like my grandparents,

manage to keep the softer qualities in a world of daily struggle.

Such were the two people with whom I spent the months from June to

September in the wonderful days of summer and youth.
