高考优秀英语作文:谈勇气（20篇）

Each and every one of us is responsible for the greenhouse gases we emit in our daily actions and choices. Therefore, combating climate change is going to take the combined efforts of everyone on the planet.

The average household carbon footprint in China is 2.41 tons of carbon dioxide annually. Thats enough to fill half an Olympic swimming pool.

Surprised? Well, heres how you can work to reduce it:

1.Get started by calculating your own carbon footprint. This will give you a starting point from which to begin monitoring your progress. You enter details such as what sort of apartment you live in, your personal energy use and travel habits.

2. Each week, choose one day when you dont eat meat. Meat uses up lots of energy because it takes a long time to produce. Animals produce methane, which is another dangerous greenhouse gas, when they burp and fart.

3. Only buy the amount of food you need and if there are leftovers, get creative. For instance, make them into a soup. Ask to take food home from restaurants if theres some left, but remember to take your own container to avoid using a disposable carton.

我们每一个人负责温室气体排放在我们的日常行为和选择。因此,应对气候变化需要地球上的每个人都的共同努力。

平均每个家庭在中国的碳排放量是2.41吨二氧化碳。足够填充半个奥运游泳池了。

惊讶吗?下面是如何努力去减少这种:

1。开始计算你自己的碳足迹。这将给你一个起点的开始监视你的进步。您输入详细信息,比如什么样的公寓你住在,你的个人能源使用和旅行的习惯。

2。每周选择一天当你不吃肉。肉类消耗大量的能源,因为它需要很长时间。动物可以产生甲烷,这是另一种危险的温室气体——当他们打嗝、放屁。

3。只买适量的食物,如有剩饭,有创意。例如,让他们变成一个汤。要求把食物带回家从餐馆如果有一些离开,但切记要适用自己的饭盒,避免用一次性饭盒。

三点关键定档因素(不跑题是前提)

词汇多样性

语法复杂性

文章连贯性

书面表达的五项秘诀：

审题，遣词，造句，润色，谋篇

既然知道了这些关键因素和高分秘诀，我们要如何从这些方面入手呢审题的概念

拿到试卷后，首先浏览书面表达的题目，研究题目要求。正确的审题内容包括A、审标题B、审体裁C、审要点。审标题：看文章是否要求有题目(title)或者主题(topic)能够确保你不跑题;审体裁：确能够定文章的文体，为你写作提供方向。审要点：如果英语作文中，有要求要点的，一般打分时是踩点给分的，准确把握住要点，是高分的一个诀窍。

如何审要点要做到以下两个方面：

总结归纳要点：不是所有内容都要写出来，而是抓住其中的关键要点、衔接要点!

理顺要点：将提炼的要点按逻辑关系(如时间关系、因果关系、转折关系等)重新安排，这样整篇文章看起来就整体有序，流畅自然，更加容易打动评分老师，从而作文分数提升一档。

构思文章提纲：根据题目的要点，安排好段落和主次关系。要形成良好的分段意识，写作分段是必须要进行的(2至4段为佳)，这样显得文章不会拥挤并且层次分明。在行文意识上，要注意突出要点。

遣词的注意点

不出现语言错误

词语和短语搭配

适度使用加分词汇

避免词语重复

注意词语和短语搭配使用

可以适度的使用加分词句：高级词、同义词、短语等替代

造句的原则

表达意思要清楚无误。

多种表达方式表达相同含义

避免句式单调(简单句，并列句，复合句等适度调整)

表达意思清楚无误：具体化，细节化

可以用形象思维来表达(什么叫形象思维比如说你朗读的“很好听”，用“抑扬顿挫”来表达就是形象思维)

谋篇的攻略

注意分段、详略搭配、注意连贯

行文时多用关联词、引导词，把文章句子通过各种关系整合起来，达到起承转合，运用自如的目的，从而获取高分。

具体的连接关系有：并列关系、递进关系、因果关系、转折关系、让步关系、列举关系、条件关系、举例关系、时间关系等。

勇气是人类文明亘古不变的主题，但是对勇气的系统性研究却是最近才开始的。什么是勇气？勇气从何而来？它在身体和大脑中是如何体现的？为何我们会对它如此之挚爱？没有恐惧感是不是件好事情呢？本文将一一予以解答。

In his 20 years as a firefighter and paramedic in Colorado Springs, Bruce Monson, 43, has had his little fist-bumps with death: a burning roof collapsing on top of him, toxic fumes nearly suffocating him.

在其作为科罗拉多斯普林斯（Colorado Springs）市消防员和急救人员的20年生涯里，43岁的布鲁斯·蒙逊（Bruce Monson）跟死神有过小小的亲密接触：一座燃烧的屋顶从他头顶坍塌，有毒气体几乎令其窒息。

Yet far more terrifying than any personal threats are what Mr. Monson describes as the "bad kid calls," like the one from a mother who had put her 18-month-old son down in his crib right next to a window with a Venetian blind and its old-fashioned cord.

但是比所有的个人威胁都要恐怖得多的，是被蒙逊先生描述为"捣蛋鬼电话"的，就像是一位妈妈打过来的电话一样，这位母亲把自己18个月大的孩子放到了婴儿床上，而婴儿床则正好靠近一个带有软百叶窗和老式绳索的窗户。

"The kid had grabbed the cord and gotten it twisted around his neck, and the mother came in and found him hanging there," said Mr. Monson. "Im the first one in the door, shes in a panic, and she shoves the kid into my arms, crying, Please save him, please save him! "

"小孩抓住了那条绳子，然后被绳子绕住了自己的脖子，接着母亲进来就发现他悬在那里了"，蒙逊先生说："我是第一个上门的，她还在恐慌之中，一把就将孩子塞到我手臂里，哭着说，请救救他，快救救他！"。

The childs body was blue, but Mr. Monson and his fellows met parental despair with professional focus and did everything they could. "We worked on him for over an hour," said Mr. Monson. "Its like a state of calm. Youre so tuned in to what youre doing, youre not thinking about the reality of the situation."

孩子的身体都已经发紫了，但蒙逊先生和同伴的职业素养遭遇了父母的绝望眼神，他们竭尽所能。"我们在孩子身上努力了一个多钟头"，蒙逊先生说："那就好像是进入了一种入定的状态。你对自己的正在做的事情是如此的全神贯注，以至于到了弃现实情况于不顾的地步"。

Their best was not enough, however, and later, at the hospital, the terrible sadness settled in.

然而，尽其所能仍回天乏力，随后在医院里传来了噩耗。

As Mr. Monson filled out his report, the mother sat in the trauma rooms designated "bereavement rocking chair," rocking her dead son, saying her goodbyes, while family members filed in and wailed at the sight.

正如蒙逊在报告中所写的那样，那位母亲坐在创伤室指定的"丧亲摇摇椅"上，不断摇晃着她死去的孩子，喃喃着自己的告别，此情此景，一旁的家庭成员也哀嚎不已。

An image of that mother in her rocking chair comes to Mr. Monsons mind every time he answers another "bad kid" call, spurring him to keep going, to never give up or grow sloppy or cynical, to simply do his job; and through doing his job, he has saved far more lives than he has lost.

每次接到一个又一个的"捣蛋鬼"电话时，蒙逊先生的脑海总会浮现出那位母亲坐在摇摇椅上的景象，激励着他不断前进，永不放弃，永远都不能麻痹大意或者是愤世嫉俗，只想着做好自己的工作；通过他的努力，他所救活的生命远远超过了失去的。

Only once did he allow the furniture connection to spook him — when his own wife was at the same hospital having emergency surgery for a ruptured ectopic pregnancy, and his young daughter happened to climb onto the bereavement seat. "I knew it was a totally irrational thing to do," he said, "but I made her get out of that chair."

这种联想只有一次让他被吓到了—— 当他自己的妻子因为宫外孕破裂在同一家医院接受急救手术的时候，他年轻的女儿恰巧爬上了那张丧亲之椅。"我知道，这完全是一件荒谬的事情"，他说："但是我把她从椅子上弄下来了"。

Courage is something that we want for ourselves in gluttonous portions and adore in others without qualification. Yet for all the longstanding centrality of courage to any standard narrative of human greatness, only lately have researchers begun to study it systematically, to try to define what it is and is not, where it comes from, how it manifests itself in the body and brain, who we might share it with among nonhuman animals, and why we love it so much.

勇气是某种我们希望自己富有并无保留地仰慕别人拥有的东西。在人类文明的任何标准记叙当中，勇气的中心地位一直是屹立不倒的，尽管如此，但是研究者也只是最近才开始对它进行系统性的研究，试图去定义什么是勇气，什么不是勇气，勇气从何而来，它在身体和大脑中是如何体现的，在非人类的动物里面我们会跟谁分享勇气，以及为何我们会对它如此之挚爱。

A new report in the journal Current Biology describes the case of a woman whose rare congenital syndrome has left her completely, outrageously fearless, raising the question of whether its better to conquer ones fears, or to never feel them in the first place.

《现代生物学》杂志的一份新报告描述了一个案例，一位患有罕见的先天性综合症的女人，在全然无所畏惧的情况下彻底痊愈，报告向我们提出了一个问题，是否说克服恐惧，或者永远不把恐惧摆在首位是不是会更好？

In another recent study, neuroscientists scanned the brains of subjects as they struggled successfully to overcome their terror of snakes, identifying regions of the brain that may be key to our everyday heroics.

在另一份最新研究中，神经系统科学家扫描了成功克服了对蛇的恐惧感的研究对象的大脑，确定了有可能是我们平常英雄事迹的关键的大脑区域。

Researchers in the Netherlands are exploring courage among children, to see when the urge for courage first arises, and what children mean when they call themselves brave.

荷兰的研究者正在探索儿童的勇气之源，试图找出什么时候会催生出勇气来，以及孩子们自称勇敢时其意思是什么。

The theme of courage claims a long and gilded ancestry. Plato included courage among the four cardinal or principal virtues, along with wisdom, justice and moderation.

勇气这个主题有着久远而辉煌的历史。柏拉图把勇气与智慧、正义及节制一起，列为四种体液或称之为四美德。

"As a major virtue, courage helps to define the excellent person and is no mere optional trait," writes George Kateb, a political theorist and emeritus professor at Princeton University. "One of the worst reproaches in the world is to be called a coward."

"作为一项主要美德，勇气帮助我们定义优秀之人，它不是可有可无的选项"，普林斯顿大学的政治理论家和名誉教授乔治·卡泰（George Kateb）说："这个世界上最糟糕的指责之一就是被称为懦夫"。

Yet defining what it means to be courageous has often proved as thistly as distinguishing the wise ones from the fools. For Plato and many other authorities, courage is above all a martial art, most readily displayed on the battlefield — the iconic brave solder running into the line of fire to retrieve an injured comrade.

但是，要界定什么是勇敢，往往被证明跟在愚者中区分出智者一样的棘手。对于柏拉图和许多其他的权威来说，勇气首先是一种搏击术，最容易在战场上展示出来——标志性的铁血战士冲破火线救出受伤的战友。

But Dr. Kateb points out that if courage finds its highest expression in war, then the trait paradoxically becomes an immoral virtue, ennobling war and carnage by insisting that only in battle can men — and it usually is men — discover the depths of their nobility.

但是卡泰博士指出，如果说勇敢在战争中有最高表现的话，那么其特点就自相矛盾地成为不道德的美德，强调人们，通常是指男人，只有通过战争才能发掘其灵魂深处的高贵，从而把战争和屠杀高尚化。

Marilynne Robinson, the novelist and social critic, has observed that courage is "dependent on cultural definition" and "rarely expressed except where there is sufficient consensus to support it." Where religious martyrdom is lionized, there will be martyrs; where social or political protest is seen as glorious warfare in civvies, there will be a rash of red-faced declaimers, soapboxes on every street.

玛丽琳·罗宾逊（Marilynne Robinson），小说家和社会评论家，她已经注意到勇气"依赖于文化定义"，"很少被表达出来，除了在得到足够的舆论支持的场合"。在为宗教而罹难者被奉为圣人的地方，就会有殉道者；在社会或政治抗议被视为光荣的平民斗争的地方，每一条街道临时搭建的演讲台上就都会充斥着面红耳赤、激昂陈词的演说家。

In pioneering work from 1970s and beyond, Stanley J. Rachman of the University of British Columbia and others studied the physiology and behavior of paratroopers as they prepared for their first parachute jump.

在上世纪70年代及之后的开创性工作中，不列颠哥伦比亚大学的斯坦利.J.拉赫曼（Stanley J.Rachman）等人在其首次跳伞准备的过程中研究了伞兵的生理及行为特征。

The work revealed three basic groups: the preternaturally fearless, who displayed scant signs of the racing heart, sweaty palms, spike in blood pressure and other fight-or-flight responses associated with ordinary fear, and who jumped without hesitation; the handwringers, whose powerful fear response at the critical moment kept them from jumping; and finally, the ones who reacted physiologically like the handwringers but who acted like the fearless leapers, and, down the hatch.

这项工作发现了三个基本组别：超乎寻常的大无畏者，很少表现出心跳加速、血压升高、手心出汗及其他的与平常恐惧有关的战或逃反应，在跳伞的时候总是毫不犹豫；踌躇紧张者，在关键时刻其强大的恐惧反应令其不敢跳下；以及最后一组，在生理反应上与踌躇紧张者一致，但却像无畏的跳伞者一样行动、最终跳下舱口的人。

These last Dr. Rachman deemed courageous, defining courage as "behavioral approach in spite of the experience of fear." By that expansive definition, courage becomes democratized and demilitarized, the property of any wallflower who manages to give the convention speech, or the math phobe who decides to take calculus.

其中最后一组被拉赫曼博士视为勇敢，即"弃恐惧体验于不顾的行为方式"。按照这种扩展性定义，勇气变得民主化和非军事化，它是任何一位设法进行提名演讲的局外人的专属，或者是一位对数学恐惧的人决定去学微积分。

Through interviews with some 320 children aged 8 to 13, Peter Muris of Erasmus University Rotterdam and his colleagues found that children also equate courage with the conquering of ones fears, and more than 70 percent of the respondents claimed they had performed one or more brave acts, including rescuing a little brother whod fallen in the swimming pool, saving a cat from a tree, biking home through the woods at night, and stealing money from ones mothers purse — yes, that will make the heart race, all right.

通过对大概320位年龄在8岁到3岁之间的小孩的采访，鹿特丹大学（Erasmus University Rotterdam）的彼得·缪里斯（Peter Muris）及其同事发现，孩子们也把克服恐惧等同视为勇敢的表现，超过70%的调查对象声称自己进行了一或多项勇敢的行为，包括搭救跌落泳池的小弟弟，拯救树上的一个小猫咪，晚上穿越树林骑车回家，以及从妈妈钱包里偷东西——是的，这些都会令心跳加速，好吧。

Joel Berger, a biologist with the Wildlife Conservation Society and the University of Montana, also distinguishes between animals that behave boldly for lack of experience — like mockingbirds unfamiliar with humans that will alight on the rim of a persons cup to take a drink — and those that are aware of a danger but proceed in the face of it.

乔尔·博格（Joel Berger），野生动物保护协会及蒙大拿大学的一位生物学家，也把缺乏经验而行为大胆的动物区分出来——像不熟悉人类的嘲鸟会飞落到某人杯子的边缘喝上一口——而那些意识到危险的则会弃之不顾继续飞行。

He cited the time he and his colleagues had immobilized a young bison in preparation for taking blood samples, and when they returned, an unrelated adult male bison was standing guard over the yearling, refusing to let the scientists approach.

他举了一个例子，某次自己和同事固定住一头年轻的野牛，准备采血样，当他们回来的时候，一头不相干的成年雄性野牛却守卫在小牛的周围，拒绝让科学家靠近。

"He knew that he could be attacked by us, and there was no genetic kinship involved," said Dr. Berger. "Courage may be a human construct, but Id call this a courageous, even heroic act."

"它知道自己有可能被我们攻击，而且它们之间也没有遗传的亲缘关系"，博格说："勇敢也许是人类行为，但是我会把这一举动称为有胆量、甚至是英勇行为"。

Seeking to capture the sensation of courage in real time, Yadin Dudai, a neurobiologist at the Weizmann Institute of Science in Rehovot, Israel, and his colleagues scanned the brains of people with a known phobia toward snakes as they were confronted with a live, large, harmless but indubitably serpentine corn snake.

为了能实时捕捉到勇敢的体验，以色列雷霍沃特魏茨曼科学研究所的也丁·杜代（Yadin Dudai）及其同事，在一个放有一条大型的、活体的、无害的但是的确是蛇无疑的玉米锦蛇的现场扫描了一位已知对蛇有恐惧感的人的大脑。

Lying in the scanner, the subjects could choose either to allow a box holding the snake to come closer, or to keep it away. As reported last June in the journal Neuron, the participants who squelched their terror and pressed the "snake approach" button showed activation of a brain region called the subgenual anterior cingulate cortex.

躺在扫描仪里，受试者可以选择让装有蛇的箱体靠近自己，或把它拿开。根据去年6月《神经元》杂志的报导，克服了自己恐惧感、按下"让蛇靠近"按钮的受试者，在一个被称为亚属前扣带皮质的大脑区域发现有活动。

Located toward the front of the brain, the structure has been implicated in depression and, intriguingly, altruistic behavior, and is thought to help negotiate between emotion and cognition, impulse and calculation.

该结构位于大脑的前部，与抑郁、魅力及利他行为有关联，被认为是在情感和认知、冲动和考量之间起到帮助的部分。

The thumb-size bundle of neurons acknowledges the yellow belly within but then moves to stanch its quivering power. And it does this in large part by dialing down the activity of the amygdala, long known as the brains central headquarters of fear.

这个拇指大小的神经元束能认知内在的懦弱，但是随后会转移到平息颤抖的能量。它会在很大程度上降低黄杏体的活动，长久以来那都被认为是恐惧的中枢。

For the serious cowards among us, the chronic need to conquer fear can get tedious. Why not just skip the anterior cingulate reveille and muzzle the brains fear response for good? The story of SM, a 44-year-old woman whose rare genetic condition has selectively destroyed the brains twinned set of amygdala, shows the clear downside of a life without fear.

对于我们当中具有严重胆怯的人来说，习惯性的克服恐惧的需要会变得乏味起来。何不干脆一劳永逸地无视大脑前扣带的起床号，让大脑对恐惧的反应缄默呢？那个SM的故事，一位患有罕见遗传病的44岁女人选择性地破坏其大脑孪生杏黄体集之后的结果，表明了缺乏恐惧的生活的明显缺陷。

As Justin Feinstein, a clinical neuropsychologist at the University of Iowa, and his colleagues describe in Current Biology, the otherwise normal SM is incapable of being spooked.

正如衣阿华大学的临床神经心理学家贾斯汀·范士丹（Justin Feinstein）及其同事在《当代生物学》杂志中所描述的那样，在其他方面正常的SM对受惊吓已无反应。

She claimed to fear snakes and spiders, and maybe she did in her pre-disease childhood, but when the researchers took her to an exotic pet store, they were astonished to see that not only did she not avoid the snakes and spiders, she was desperate to hold them close.

她宣称害怕蛇和蜘蛛，也许她在患病前的儿童时期的确如此，但是当她被研究人员带到一个国外的宠物店的时候，他们惊奇地发现，她不仅不回避蛇和蜘蛛，而且还拼命抓起它们套近乎。

The researchers took SM to a haunted house, and she laughed at the scary parts and blithely made the monster-suited employees jump. She was shown clips from famous horror films like "The Silence of Lambs" and "Halloween," and she showed no flickers of fright.

研究人员把SM带到鬼屋，她却冲着可怕的地方大笑，还快活地让穿着怪物服装的工作人员乱跳不已。给她看著名的恐怖片像《沉默的羔羊》和《万圣节》的电影剪辑时，她都没有表现出丝毫的恐惧感。

This fearlessness may be fine in the safety of ones living room, but it turns out that SM makes her own horror films in real life. She walks through bad neighborhoods alone at night, approaches shady strangers without guile, and has been repeatedly threatened with death.

这种大无畏也许在一个人的客厅里面是安全的，但是事实证明，SM在现实生活中制造了她自己的恐怖电影。她晚上独自一人穿过其恶邻的屋子，毫不保留地接近名声不好的陌生人，并以多次受到死亡的威胁。

"We have an individual whos constantly putting herself into harms way," said Mr. Feinstein. "If we had a million SMs walking around, the world would be a total mess."

"这里我们看到了一个不断将自己置身于伤害方式的个体"，范士丹先生说："如果我们周围有一百万个SM在游荡的话，整个世界都将变得一团糟"。

The bad calls would keep coming, and the rocking chairs never stop.

捣蛋鬼电话仍在不断打进来，而摇摇椅则永远也不会停止摇摆。

We know lots of things, like what the difference is between “chef” and “cook”, all the parts of the body…

We tried to write a letter to Principal Zhang. We made a play and we drew our own comics and tried to sell it. We gave some other students English lessons, we taught them about Chinese Dragon, Chinese Martial Arts and the Olympics.

Every afternoon, we played exciting games: Chinese Whispers, Tongue Twisters, Wheelbarrow, egg and spoon, three legs…

On the last day, we had a good time. We made black tea. We put tea bags, some milk and lots of water in to a big bowl, and then we stirred the tea until it became red and dark. Oh, it tasted good! Later, we used eggs, flour and milk to make many pancakes. To cook them is very interesting. When we finished it, the pancakes looked round and nice. We put some jam on it. How delicious! I won’t ever forget it.

The summer Camp is a really good chance for me. I know the local things in England. I learned a lot and like English more. I also know better ways to learn English well.

I hope one day I can see you in England.

今天我读了一本书，叫《永远读不完的故事》让我受益匪浅。

文章主要讲了在人公巴斯蒂安从一家书店，偷了一本书，书名为《永远读不完的故事》，书中是一个神奇的王国幻想王国正在毁灭，天童女王生命垂危。阿特雷耀被天童女王选中去寻找解决幻想世界的办法。于是得知需要一个人间的小孩为天童女王取一个新的名字，她和幻想王国才能得救。正在读这本书的巴斯蒂安，被拉入故事之中，成了天瞳女王与幻想王国的拯救者，从此他便，有了无限大的权利，他的每一个愿望都会实现，

可是随着他的愿望一个一个实现他的记忆也在一点一点的消失，甚至他忘了自己是谁，他就永远回不到人类世界的时候，他的朋友帮助了他，让巴斯蒂安知道她一直寻找的东西，那就是他丢失的爱!巴斯蒂安用到自己的最后一个愿望的同时，他也失去了最后一点记忆，他忘了自己的名字，于是没有名字的男孩在朋友们的附中下，找到了生命之水，结束的在这里的一切回到了自己原来的世界。

读完这本书，让我明白勇气是十分重要的，如果没有阿特雷耀没有勇气就不会接受这给艰巨的任务，就不知道解决的办法，幻想王国就可能遭到毁灭，想想在这个世界上有些人因为一点事就害怕了，退缩了。你就可能失去一些机会，有些小事就可能改变你的人生，不再平凡。勇气是实力的一部分，你就算多才多艺，没有勇气上台表演那么有什么用。

这本书让我们知道了勇气是非常重要的。

Hi Sharon,

This is Li Xia. I learned from your post that you want to improve your Mandarin. I feel honored to have the chance to help you with your Mandarin learning and I am very happy to have you as my English teacher. Im good at speaking standard Mandarin. Ive been a broadcaster in the school’s broadcasting station for years. When it comes to how to speak fluent Mandarin, I suggest that you learn a bunch of pronunciation rules first, which are quite different from the English ones. Another suggestion is to practice speaking. As the saying goes, “Practice makes perfect”. However, my English is just OK and I have many problems with my study. I really hope that you can give me good advice on how to study English well. I believe we both can make much progress with each others’ help.

Thank you!

下面是由语文迷网小编精心为大家整理的高考英语写作基本原则，希望对你有帮助。

一、 长 短 句原则

工作还得一张一弛呢，老让读者读长句，累死人!写一个短小精辟的句子，相反，却可以起到画龙点睛的作用。而且如果我们把短句放在段首或者段末，也可以揭示主题：

As a creature, I eat; as a man, I read. Although one action is to meet the primary need of my body and the other is to satisfy the intellectual need of mind, they are in a way quite similar.

如此可见，长短句结合，抑扬顿挫，岂不爽哉?牢记!

强烈建议：在文章第一段(开头)用一长一短，且先长后短;在文章主体部分，要先用一个短句解释主要意思，然后在阐述几个要点的时候采用先短后长的句群形式，定会让主体部分妙笔生辉!文章结尾一般用一长一短就可以了。

二、 主 题 句原则

国有其君，家有其主，文章也要有其主。否则会给人造成“群龙无首”之感!相信各位读过一些破烂文学，故意把主体隐藏在文章之内，结果造成我们稀里糊涂!不知所云!所以奉劝各位一定要写一个主题句，放在文章的开头(保险型)或者结尾，让读者一目了然，必会平安无事!

特别提示：隐藏主体句可是要冒险的!

To begin with, you must work hard at your lessons and be fully prepared before the exam(主题句). Without sufficient preparation, you can hardly expect to answer all the questions correctly.

三、 一 二 三原则

领导讲话总是第一部分、第一点、第二点、第三点、第二部分、第一点… 如此罗嗦。可毕竟还是条理清楚。考官们看文章也必然要通过这些关键性的“标签”来判定你的文章是否结构清楚，条理自然。破解方法很简单，只要把下面任何一组的词汇加入到你的几个要点前就清楚了。

1)first, second, third, last(不推荐，原因：俗)

2)firstly, secondly, thirdly, finally(不推荐，原因：俗)

3)the first, the second, the third, the last(不推荐，原因：俗)

4)in the first place, in the second place, in the third place, lastly(不推荐，原因：俗)

5)to begin with, then, furthermore, finally(强烈推荐)

6)to start with, next, in addition, finally(强烈推荐)

7)first and foremost, besides, last but not least(强烈推荐)

8)most important of all, moreover, finally

9)on the one hand, on the other hand(适用于两点的情况)

10)for one thing, for another thing(适用于两点的情况)

建议：不仅仅在写作中注意，平时说话的时候也应该条理清楚!

四、 短语优先原则

写作时，尤其是在考试时，如果使用短语，有两个好处：其一、用短语会使文章增加亮点，如果老师们看到你的文章太简单，看不到一个自己不认识的短语，必然会看你低一等。相反，如果发现亮点—精彩的短语，那么你的文章定会得高分了。其二、关键时刻思维短路，只有凑字数，怎么办?用短语是一个办法!比如：

I cannot bear it.

可以用短语表达：I cannot put up with it.

I want it.

可以用短语表达：I am looking forward to it.

这样字数明显增加，表达也更准确。

五、 多实少虚原则

原因很简单，写文章还是应该写一些实际的东西，不要空话连篇。这就要求一定要多用实词，少用虚词。我这里所说的虚词就是指那些比较大的词。比

我们说一个很好的时候，不应该之说nice这样空洞的词，应该使用一些诸如generous, humorous, interesting, smart, gentle, warm-hearted, hospital 之类的形象词。再比如：

走出房间，general的词是：Walk out of the room

但是小偷走出房间应该说：Slip out of the room

小姐走出房间应该说：Sail out of the room

小孩走出房间应该说：Dance out of the room

老人走出房间应该说：Stagger out of the room

所以多用实词，少用虚词，文章将会大放异彩!

六、 多变句式原则

1)加法(串联)

都希望写下很长的句子，像个老外似的，可就是怕写错，怎么办，最保险的写长句的方法就是这些，可以在任何句子之间加and, 但最好是前后的句子又先后关系或者并列关系。比如说：

I encore music and he is fond of playing guitar.

如果是二者并列的，我们可以用一个超级句式：

Not only the fur coat is soft, but it is also warm.

其它的短语可以用：

Besides, furthermore, likewise, moreover

2)转折(拐弯抹角)

批评某人缺点的时候，我们总习惯先拐弯抹角说说他的优点，然后转入正题，再说缺点，这种方式虽然阴险了点，可毕竟还比较容易让人接受。所以呢，我们说话的时候，只要在要点之前先来点废话，注意二者之间用个专这次就够了。

The car was quite old, yet it was in excellent condition.

The coat was thin, but it was warm.

更多的短语：

Despite that, still, however, nevertheless, in spite of, despite, notwithstanding

3)因果(so, so, so)

昨天在街上我看到了一个女孩，然后我主动搭讪，然后我们去咖啡厅，然后我们认识了，然后我们成为了朋友…可见，讲故事的时候我们总要追求先后顺序，先什么，后什么，所以然后这个词就变得很常见了。其实这个词表示的是先后或因果关系!

The snow began to fall, so we went home.

更多短语：

Then, therefore, consequently, accordingly, hence, as a result, for this reason, so that

4)失衡句(头重脚轻，或者头轻脚重)

有些人脑袋大，身体小，或者有些人脑袋小，身体大，虽然我们不希望长成这个样子，可如果真的是这样了，也就必然会吸引别人的注意力。文章中如果出现这样的句子，就更会让考官看到你的句子与众不同。其实就是主语从句，表语从句，宾语从句的变形。

举例：This is what I can do.

Whether he can go with us or not is not sure.

同样主语、宾语、表语可以改成如下的复杂成分：

When to go, why he goes away…

5)附加(多此一举)

如果有了老婆，总会遇到这样的情况，当你再讲某个人的时候，她会插一句说，我昨天见过他;或者说，就是某某某，如果把老婆的话插入到我们的话里面，那就是定语从句和同位语从句或者是插入语。

The man whom you met yesterday is a friend of mine.

I don’t enjoy that book you are reading.

Mir liu, our oral English teacher, is easy-going.

其实很简单，同位语--要解释的东西删除后不影响整个句子的构成;定语从句—借用之前的关键词并且用其重新组成一个句子插入其中，但是whom or that 关键词必须要紧跟在先行词之前。

6)排比(排山倒海句)

文学作品中最吸引人的地方莫过于此，如果非要让你的文章更加精彩的话，那么我希望你引用一个个的排比句，一个个得对偶句，一个个的不定式，一个个地词，一个个的短语，如此表达将会使文章有排山倒海之势!

Whether your tastes are modern or traditional, sophisticated or simple, there is plenty in London for you.

Nowadays, energy can be obtained through various sources such as oil, coal, natural gas, solar heat, the wind and ocean tides.

We have got to study hard, to enlarge our scope of knowledge, to realize our potentials and to pay for our life. (气势恢宏)

要想写出如此气势恢宏的句子非用排比不可!

七、 挑战极限原则

既然十挑战极限，必然是比较难的，但是并非不可攀!

原理：在学生的文章中，很少发现诸如独立主格的句子，其实也很简单，只要花上5分钟的时间看看就可以领会，它就是分词的一种特殊形式，分词要求主语一致，而独立主格则不然。比如：

The weather being fine, a large number of people went to climb the Western Hills.

Africa is the second largest continent, its size being about three times that of China.

如果您可一些出这样的句子，不得高分才怪!

导语：几个世纪以来，人们就幻想，有一天也有智慧的机器能像人类工作和忠实的仆人。今天，这个梦想已经在许多领域由于研究人工智能的迅速发展成真。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!

Intelligent machines such as robots are increasingly being used.They can do many things that used to be done by human.Discuss the benefits and dangers.

For centuriespeople have fantasized that someday machines could have intelligence like mankind and work as faithful servants.Today this dream has come true in many fields thanks to rapid development in artificial intelligence research.Wonderful as this seemsmachines have problems.

To begin withpeople lose jobs when machines take their placesespecially in the mass production industry such as automobile business.In factories of the famous car company Fordalmost every step of car making is done by giant robots that work faster with higher reliability and precision than human labor.Because of the adoption of robotsthousands of workers are put out of their old jobs and forced to make changes in their work.Even such changes create job opportunities because robots need people to take care of and operatethe number of new jobs is much smaller than that of lostthus causing huge pressure on the labor market and government.

People become less smart because of the wide use of machines in their life.Nowadays people need to use their brain less than they did in the past.Everything is programmed and the only thing we need to do is to push a button or throw on a switch.This has given us great convenience but made us lazier and less smart.Everyone has the awkward moment troubling with the spelling of a simple word when writing with a pen.But with a computerit will automatically proofread the spelling and grammar of your writing.So people become less concerned with learning things right.This is not a progress but a regress of our intelligence and culture.

But machines have many benefits that nobody can deny such as great work efficiency and low cost of mass production.The workload that could take months to finish by manual labor could be done flawlessly by robots in minutes.We have more purchasing power to enjoy a wider variety of goods and services because of the reduction of production costs with factories using machines.Other benefits include that machines could do dangerous jobs for people in high risk businesses like mining and construction.

To concludemachines have many merits that make our life easier and more convenientbut they have caused many problems such as undercutting our job opportunities and overdependence on machines.

【参考译文】

机器人等智能机器正越来越多地被使用，他们可以做许多人类以前做过的事情，讨论它的好处和危险.。

几个世纪以来，人们就幻想，有一天也有智慧的机器能像人类工作和忠实的仆人。今天，这个梦想已经在许多领域由于研究人工智能的迅速发展成真。这似乎是最棒的，机器有问题。

首先，人们失去工作的机器取代他们的位置的时候，特别是在大规模生产汽车行业等业务。在著名的福特汽车公司的汽车制造工厂，几乎每一步都是由巨型机器人工作速度比人力更高的可靠性和精度。由于采用机器人，把从他们的旧的工作和被迫改变他们的工作是成千上万的工人。即使这样的变化创造就业机会，因为机器人需要人照顾和操作，新增工作岗位的数量要小得多的流失，造成巨大的压力对劳动力市场和政府。

聪明的人越来越少，因为机器在他们的生活中广泛使用。现在人们需要使用他们的大脑比他们在过去所做的，一切都是程序，我们唯一需要做的就是按下一个按钮或扔在一个开关。这给了我们很大的便利，却使我们越来越不聪明的。每个人都有尴尬的时刻困扰的一个简单的单词拼写时用钢笔写。但有一个计算机，它会自动检查拼写和语法的写作。这样的人越来越少，学习有关的事情。这不是进步而是倒退了我们的智力和文化。

但是机器有许多好处，没有人可以否认大工作效率和低成本大批量生产。工作量可能需要几个月时间才能完成的体力劳动可以完美无缺的机器人以分钟完成。我们有了更多的购买力来享受更多种类的商品和服务的生产成本和工厂使用机器减少。其他的福利包括机器可以做高风险业务如采矿和建筑的人危险的工作。

最后，机器有许多优点，使我们的生活更轻松、更方便，但会引起如削弱我们的工作机会和过度依赖机器的许多问题。

Winter solstice is the earliest Chinese festival, call it yesterday, as early as the han dynasty had formed when we are familiar with todays twenty-four solar terms. Twenty-four solar terms, every 15 days for a throttle, a throttle is divided into three. As the winter solstice is divided into "hou earthworms knot; 2 hou elk horn, three HouShuiQuan move." Are the ancients from traditional agricultural production routine. Fade as the farming civilization, modern agriculture is affected by season is not very big, such as the vegetables all the year round in the greenhouses, traditional throttle effect on guidance and restriction of agricultural farming is also a little bit fade.

People now pay more attention to the throttle keeping in good health, in winter it was the season of supplements. After spring, summer, autumn three season, the body organs need to enter a state of rest during the winter, physical consumption in winter supplements in the past. Left the teacher said, so also have "winter signings, dozen tiger next year" the proverb.

冬至是中国最早的节日，称之为冬节，早在汉代时候已经形成了我们今天熟悉的二十四节气。二十四节气，每十五天为一个节气，一个节气分为三候。如冬至分为“一候蚯蚓结;二候麋角解，三候水泉动。”都是以古人从传统农业生产生活规律中总结出来的。随着农耕文明逐渐消退，现代农业受季节的影响不是很大，比如大棚里的菜一年四季都可以吃到，传统节气对农业种田的辅导和制约作用也在一点点消退。

现在的人们更多关注的是节气养生，冬季也是进补的季节。经历春夏秋三季后，身体各个器官在冬季需要进入休息的状态，过去身体上的消耗在冬天进补。左老师说，因此也有“冬季进补，来年打虎”的俗语。
