《历跨夏潮怀鸿鹄 再越冬彩展骐骥》

击缶而歌,活字印刷,如豹飞驰,似蛟腾游,初展华夏鸿鹄之姿;飞流直下,水墨丹青,翩若惊鸿,矫若游龙,再显九州骐骥之势。铺开双奥盛景的画卷,抚上其国泰民安的底色,我辈肩负民族复兴之大任,当自滚滚春潮汲墨再提笔,怀鸿鹄以跨险阻,展骐骥以再越难。

先辈明德贤笃志,身向复兴澎湃行。以民族大任为方,循前辈足迹为向,迈出跨越初步。且看为5G网络实现再跨越,搭建者张嘉携团队成小海坨山“荒山通网”之佳绩,尽显坚毅;且看“雪之梦”号、“瑞雪迎春”号高铁疾驰再提速,建设者程红彬加强技术攻坚而获世界游客赞誉,尽显匠心;且看冰立方“由水变冰“再突破,设计者杜诗亮精妙巧思以造环保场馆,尽显智慧。他们从平凡中绽放卓越,从落后处跨越领先;从困阻中寻找机遇,在倥偬间不移其心。“不负韶华,不负时代,不负人民。”转看我辈青衣,不应好高骛远,更不应嫌弃“担子重”而就此“躺平”,而应在榜样的引领下树立跨越之志向,坚定再跨越之信念,努力绽放复兴之花。

人生万事须自为,跬步江山即寥廓。怀脚踏实地之能,担民族复兴之任,再越崇山峻岭。继夏奥金牌榜第一后,冬奥赛场上中国残奥队再次拿下榜首辉煌。高尔基叩问胜利本意后自答:“最伟大的胜利,就是战胜自己。”于我有为青年,最卓越的成功,就是再次跨越旧我。可在成就面前,我们该如何打败自我再创辉煌?

勇于迸发,是谷爱凌给出的回答。她突破自我的1620度转体尝试,实现了自己的滑雪生涯上的“再跨越”;沉着冷静,是范苏圆、凌智交出的答卷。二人在冰壶场上的默契配合,为中国队赢下混双首胜;脚踏实地,是武大靖展现出的“有过辉煌,无惧低谷”。速滑接力场上,他再次突破自我,助力队友,为中国队摘得首金。跨越需要力量,再跨越则需要怀揣勇气,需要不惧险途,需要如曼德拉曾言,成为“坠落后总能再度升起”的最伟大的光辉。双奥奇迹实现的春潮,涤净过浮躁繁杂后,冲刷过迷惘低谷后,我们更应在感受到国家“再跨越”进程的号召后,奋起直追,历练自身,劈荆棘载途,成为堪当时代复兴使命的青年。

风光霁月人所为,民族复兴看吾辈。得鸿鹄之志在心,有骐骥之能在身,终抵复兴彼岸。我辈青年,当做洪流而非涓溪,汹涌地推动民族复兴的浪头前进;我辈青年,当做高山而非苇草,激昂地在天地间为华夏立身开太平;我辈青年,当做鸿鹄,当成骐骥,奋力地在奋斗的鲜艳底色上书写青春,因而能继“双奥”国家辉煌之姿,在不懈的跨越与再跨越中,开创民族复兴的新纪元。

今天,老师宣布了成立学习小组,并同时宣布小组组长。这时,老师的神情严肃极了,而我们班的同学却在议论着:“什么?成立学习小组?不早有了吗?”突然一个同学看到老师的神情,马上静了下来,其他同学也跟着静了下来。蒋老师又宣布了一个条件:每个组要有5人,必须有男有女,还要有优秀生,中等生,还要有学习有困难的同学。

成立学习小组开始了,我可挑剔了,扫瞄了一下四周,看看有没有坐得近,学习非常优秀,关系又好的组长呢?嘿!孙玉洁,我眼睛一亮,她和我平时关系挺不错的,放学还一起结伴回家,坐得又这么近,学习又好,选她最合适不过了。于是,我到这个组长这里报了个名儿。再看看组长,她可是忙得不可开交,写完一个名字后又接着写第二个人的名字。而第一位同学又去给组长“招兵买马”,马上,他把组长的“邻居”——项广依,起初,他有些不同意,在这位同学的劝说下,最终,他还是“甘拜下风”地同意了。写完了名单,我们组的所有组员都松了口气,笑容从脸上舒展开了。就在这一刻,老师让所有组长把名单上交,我再次扫瞄四周,有的组长看去紧张极了,有的去很轻松。”如果符合名单请拍三下手,如果不符合的就安静。”蒋老师和蔼地说,接着,老师公布了小组名单。“吕弘键、蒋英光……”终于报到我们,听到了一阵掌声,我们的笑容更灿烂了。可是,有那么多的组没有得到掌声,我感到了蒋老师又要给我们讲一套又一套的大道理了。果然如此,当她报完所有的名单后,就开始讲起了大道理。她说:“同学们,如果我没说这些条件,说不定你们就会出现好的学生和好的学生在一起,扔下学习有困难的同学不管,今天,我就是想告诉你们,我们不能岐视这些有困难的同学,不管他的多大困难,我们都要尽自己最大的努力去帮助他们。”

听了老师这番话,我有所启发:我们要尽最大的努力去帮助那些学习有困难的学生,而不是岐视他们,把他们当做垃圾一样,扔在垃圾堆里。

篇3:规则之“笼”守住生命高考作文题目预测

全文共 1182 字

+ 加入清单

阅读下面的材料,根据要求写一篇不少于800字的文章。(60分)

去年10月7日,经过连续搜救,17名擅自进入广西来宾市自然保护区露营被困失联的驴友,成功获救。来宾市为此次营救,耗费了巨大的公共资源,更严重的是营救中救援人员也面临巨大的危险。

这一事件引起了社会的强烈反响:当地政府呼吁驴友要严格遵守相关法律法规,不要擅自行动。有网友认为,驴友是公民,作为纳税人,有权享受公共服务,不应为救援买单;又有网友说“人生需要‘说走就走’的旅行”,并为他们的行为点赞。

对此你有何看法?请选好角度,自定立意,自拟标题作文;不要套作,不得抄袭。

规则之“笼”守住生命

17条生命因破坏规则而岌岌可危,而救援人员的性命安全也被牵扯其中——看到搜救17名失联“驴友”的新闻,我不禁感叹当代许多年轻人对规则的淡漠。为追求生活乐趣而破坏规则的人也许会高举自由主义的旗帜我行我素,但殊不知,遵守规则是对生命尊重的底线,也是个体自由的前提。

人的热情固然可贵,但滥用这种热情而缺乏理性思考便是不妥的。17名驴友受到一时热情冲动的驱使擅自进入自然保护区,而忽略了与保护区管理部门报备并随时联系这一至关重要的过程。与其说这是一种说走就走的胆魄,不如说这是一种缺乏责任心的极端自私。17条生命,也许是为人父母,也许是家中希望,在社会中各有各的定位和责任。他们在违反规则的同时,也将自身的姓名与周围人的生活悬在达摩克里斯之剑下,稍出差池,便会支离破碎。人的确是为自己而存在,需要有“做自己”的勇气;但人也是社会性的,而调节社会生活中种种矛盾的便是规则。若肆意破坏之,是对自身生命的漠视,也是对社会的不负责任。

公民社会之中,每个人都有各自的义务与权利。救援固然是救援人员应尽的义务,但遵守法律不也是公民死守的底线吗?若17名驴友不为救援买单,不受到应有的惩罚,那么把规则当做橡皮泥的社会风气将永远得不到纠正。柴静有言,对生命的尊重是这个社会的原则。而一条条规则正是保护我们自身最有力的网,正是这一原则最直观的体现。

充斥着我们生活的规则真的那么面目可憎吗?其实不然。“人生而自由,却无往不在枷锁之中。”卢梭的话给我们敲响了一个警钟,如果我们都接受对我们的自由一定的限制以及对我们选择权的一定减少,我们就都能获得更大的自由以及更多的选择权。保证了我们自由的,正是一条条枷锁。任何自由意志,都建立在适当限制及有能力负起责任的基础上。八达岭动物园老虎伤人事件不正是最好的佐证吗?若生命都没有了,谈何负责,谈何自由呢?

中国自古以来是德治、家族政治,而非法治,守法观念非一朝一夕可以建成。苏格拉底在临死前说的那句“法律可以以不义的方式判我有罪,但我不能因此违反法律”,正是我们社会所缺乏的精神养料。规则并不是限制,而是将人文精神转化为文字的再现;条条框框,正是框住了我们的生活与生命。

梦想如书香

时间,红了樱桃,绿了芭蕉,白了丝发,黄了书页……这些精致而富有内涵的文字触动着我的心绪,书香浅浅,萦绕四际。

静坐在香樟树下,洗头的书在风中微微作响,慢慢的翻看,一枚精巧的书签蓦地跳入我的视线。我抚摸着,品读着,悉心想着那些与书香相伴的时光,沉醉其中。流年在这一瞬间变得恍若止步,在我的心里投射出一些细碎的光影。于是,心脏也慢慢柔软下来。

无数飞鸟掠过头顶,细数那些一闪而过的光影,一如岁月般不着痕迹。

诗词·醇香的红枫

那一方深蓝色天空下,我抱着膝盖,坐在青青的草野上,双脚踢打着汩汩而来的绿水,这是一份多么闲适与自由的时光呀!我翻阅着,看见一叶红枫下的诗词,阳光肆虐的打在书页上,翻出一片明晃晃的光。视线不由得在那儿上面徘徊,书香悄然溜出来,将我的思想与周边的一切变得灵动起来……那涓涓流动的水与河岸青石擦出空灵的歌谣“蒹葭苍苍,白露为霜。所谓伊人,在水一方。溯洄从之,道阻且长。溯游从之,宛在水中央”;那悠扬的鹂鸣与丛草鲜花组成一段唯美的春天的动画“几处早莺争暖树,谁家新燕啄春泥。”;那一整地的绿茵草地,让我不禁脱口而出“野火烧不尽,春风吹又生。”的喃喃轻叹。

书香,你总让我对自然,对生活有新体验,新感受,让我对明天充满信心与希冀。

名著·诗意的银杏

翻开厚重的《红楼梦》,一枚金色的银杏书签翩翩然展现在我的眼前。它舒爽而别致,扇形上沾染着的小斑点,令他带有些许朦胧的诗意。在它的下面,是米黄色的纸,文言文的文字,充溢着古老的气息。

“宝玉,你好……”,这句是黛玉香消玉殒前留下的最后一句话,耐人寻味,惹人遐想。他们前世的缘分,今生的姻缘,却还是经不起命运的作弄,经不起眼泪不停的流啊!杜宏雷,让我对世态炎凉有了新的体会,对古代的封建礼教尤为不满。

书香啊,你总让我怀揣一颗好奇的心,对过去、对历史充满兴趣和怀想。

美文·清新的松针

秋至,我捧着一本美文精选,在阡陌中踽踽独行。我穿越人海,远离了街巷,来到了田垄上,一望微漾的秋水和轻飞者的叶,细数过往的白云和寂寞的天空。面朝稻海,金浪袭来,一个,两个……翻开书,里面夹着几枚松针,岁月无情,而松针却依然青翠如玉,似乎清晨刚将它采撷。转念一想,这一片片美文难道不也正想着松针一般,化为永恒,颂做经典吗?我爱席慕容的“生命是条河,在河的左岸是铭记,在河的右岸是忘却!”我也爱那句“幸福是场梦,当你醒来时,梦已消失得无影无踪。”

它们简短而精炼,它都是些细腻的文字,从我的眼睛这扇窗,直达我的心底。这些文字不会有太大的起伏,如同一条缓缓流淌的明净的细流,让我沉浸其中,但每个看上去浅浅的漩涡都会漩的心里。

书香,你总让我热爱眼前的世界,唉咏叹高山,爱赞美白水,你让我富有情感,变得纯真自然。一片叶子落在书上,发出低微的声响,眼睛在一片茫然中渐渐聚焦。我依旧在这棵香樟树下,凝视着着一切安详的事物,思索着,在成长的路上,是书香和阅读与我相伴,是书香抬高了我的精神;是书,将我的痛苦与烦恼变为薄如蝉翼的金饰;是书香吹开了文学的花蕾。

轻轻的将这片落叶夹进我的书里,我想,事件令它枯老,而书香将赋予它新生。

6.目前,越来越多的中学生利用周末上各种各样的培训班或请家教。对于这一现象,存在两种不同观点:

请根据以上提示,以“Is a training class or a tutor necessary”为题,写一篇短文阐述自己的观点。

要求:1. 包括所有提示内容,可适当发挥。

2. 信中不要涉及真实的人名和校名及其它相关信息, 否则不予评分。

3. 词数:不少于60词,开头已给出,不计入总词数。

More and more middle school students are going to all kinds of training class or getting a tutor at the weekend. There are two different opinions about it.

Some think it is necessary. First, they can learn better with the help of the teachers than by themselves. Second, they can strengthen what they learn in class. Third, they can get more useful things in those classes.

However, other people insist that it is not necessary. For one thing, students will not listen carefully in their normal classes if they can get the same knowledge in training classes. For another thing, most senior

students haven’t enough time to rest. What’s worse, the purpose of most of the training classes and family teachers is to earn money.

In my opinion, a training class or family teacher is not necessary. We can study well at school if we work hard. (In my opinion, whether a training class or family teacher is needed just depends. If you are really very weak at or interested in a certain subject, maybe it’s OK for you. But be sure to choose a good and suitable class or teacher, otherwise it would be a waste of time and money.)

7、如何减压让生活更美好 许多学习生活中的烦恼都会使人产生压力,为了更好地发现及解决同学们中存在的心理压力问题,你们班特意开展了一次以"Less Pressure, Better Life"为主题的英语演讲比赛,请你准备发言稿,谈谈你的一些缓解压力的好办法,与同学分享,内容包括:

(1) 同学们中普遍存在的压力是什么;

(2) 我的压力是什么;

(3) 我是如何成功缓解我的压力的。

注意:文中不得出现真实的姓名和校名。词数80~100。

★ 范文

Less Pressure, Better Life

Hello, boys and girls!

Pressure is a serious problem in today’s world. Students in our class are under too much pressure. Some students can’t get on well with their classmates, while others may worry about their exams。

I’m always under pressure, too. My parents want me to be the top student in class. So they send me to all kinds of after-classes at weekends. Last Monday evening, I had a talk with my mother. I told her I was not lazy. I really felt tired. I needed time to relax. My mother agreed with me at last. So I think a conversation with parents is necessary to solve the problem。

That’s all. Thank you!

8、节约用水 水是生命之源。随着水资源的短缺,节约用水是我们每个人的责任,请以此为话题写一篇不少于80字的短文。

优秀作文赏析:【家与国】

家,由一个个人组成;国,由一个个家组成。似乎是先有家,再有国,其实,要有家,就要先要有国。

我们为什么会有今天的幸福生活?而不是像百年之前我们的祖辈身处炮火之中?这是先烈们共同努力的结果,因为在他们心中,放在第一位的是祖国,没有独立强大的国家,怎能有安稳幸福的小家?

5000年前的大禹也深知这一点。他也有自己的家,但他引领众人治水多年,三过家门而不入,他将人民放在了第一位,所以人们才会如此团结,跟着他一路含辛茹苦,筚路蓝缕,励精图治,所以才有了中华文明的第一个国家——夏朝,所以才有了千千万万安稳的家。

大禹之后,有许许多多的仁人志士为国奉献一生。孟子广颂“儒家经典”,凝聚了万千中国人的心;辛弃疾铁血沙场,鲁迅弃医从文,等等,他们都是先救国,再管家。正因如此,才有了我们今天强大的祖国,才有了我们今天幸福的生活。

为什么我们都说“国家”,而不是说“家国”?小的家庭想要美满幸福,就得先强国。

十八世纪中叶,鸦片战争后,中国的黑暗时期来临。一个个不平等条约,一笔笔屈辱的赔款,国家一蹶不振。可是,中国亡了吗?不!没有!没有!中国的文化中有很多带着铁带着血带着骨气的成语:精忠报国、视死如归、嫉恶如仇……这些成语,已经成了华夏民族的基因!于是,便又有了一辈辈的革命烈士,梁启超、谭嗣同、朱德、周恩来

正是他们骨子里的不屈之魂,才使得中国这个东方雄狮从沉睡中苏醒。这就是为什么要强国的理由,因为光有家,国却衰败得不堪入目,国家和人民就会像砧板上的鱼肉——任人宰割。

人民、祖国、家庭,这就像是水、粮食、空气,每一个都无比重要。家庭幸福,人民回报祖国,祖国承载家庭。

现在,我们的国家快速发展了,这也是因为有了前人们的铺垫。闻一多、朱自清,用自己的思想将人们团结起来;邓稼先、钱学森,使我们国家有了原子弹、氢弹,用科学让祖国强壮起来。他们的贡献,为我们的幸福生活打下了坚实的基础。

一个人只是一棵小树,一群人就是一个家庭,无数个家庭团结起来,就是一个国家。国与家,密不可分!

篇20:圣诞节活动英语作文:美国怎么过圣诞?

全文共 6174 字

+ 加入清单

"We wish you a merry Christmas, we wish you a merry Christmas"Have you heard that song? Yup! Its Christmas time! This Christmas, I stayed with my "host family"1. It was an amazing experience to see how a typical American family would celebrate the biggest western festival of the year.

Christmas, like our Spring Festival, has a meaning in itself. Christmas Day, which is on December 25, is the birthday of Jesus Christ--the son of God. Thats why it is called Christmas. On that day, Christians would get together with their families to celebrate the birthday of Jesus. But nowadays, the religious meaning of Christmas has become less emphasized. To many families, it is just a time of family reunion and the ever-exciting present-giving.

Our school had been on winter vacation since December 11. I stayed at my friend, Stephen Stapczynskis house--his family was my "host family". Although Christmas was still more than ten days ahead, the festive spirit had already been teeming everywhere. The Christmas tree had already been set up, and on every windowsill, there were Christmas lights. On the first day I arrived at their house, Stephen and I helped Mrs. Stapczynski put decorations on the Christmas tree. The tree looked so nice with all the lights on and the beautiful ornaments dangling from its branches.

As Christmas came closer, the whole neighborhood had made preparations too. Some people would hold parties at their houses, inviting all their neighbors to come. So every night, if you went out, you would see a long line of cars parked in front of some house--a partys on!

Whats more, the Christmas decorations that some people put on their windows and in gardens were just amazing. On one night, we went out in our car for a "tour of lights". There was one street that was so famous for its lights that it got its way into the local paper. We had a hard time finding the well-hidden street, but it turned out to be worth the effort. Lights shone brightly in front of nearly every house, on trees, bushes, doors, windowseverywhere, taking different shapes, making it seem almost like daytime. Huge inflatable figures in the front gardens were waving to us: there were Santa Clauses2, of course, chuckling merrily away; and there were also other Christmas figures, like Rudolph3--the red-nosed reindeer--with his red nose gleaming ever so brightly; even Bart Simpson--a character in the famous comedy The Simpsons--had joined the jolly party, wearing a Santas hat. The street set off a lot of "ooh"s and "aah"s inside the car.4 When we left, there was a line of cars in the street, all there to see the lights.

Christmas is the time for exchanging presents. Stephen and Niko had been thinking about their Christmas lists (a list of things they wish "Santa"to give them for Christmas) for a long time. I didnt want to ask for anything, but the Stapczynskis were so kind to "force"me make one list as well (Mr. Stapczynski told me if I didnt make one he would chop off my legs). So I wrote down a couple of things that I would like to have, and gave the list to them--sorry, my mistake--to Santa.

Finally, Christmas Eve came. There was a special Christmas service at the church at 6 p.m. It was certainly a very interesting experience for me. The priest started the service reading and sang out extractions from a holy book--The Divine Liturgy. For several times, we would stand up and pray.

Sometimes, the church choir would start singing. The atmosphere was very quiet and holy. Then there was a ceremony called "The Receiving Communion". People waited in line to "receive"a spoonful of food from the priest. It was a very special Christmas tradition. The food was made from bread and wine. The bread represents the body of Jesus, and the wine represents his blood. After this ceremony, the priest had a speech. He reminded us not to forget the true meaning of Christmas, and let Jesus really live inside us--that is, to love the people around us wholeheartedly. I think that no matter if you are a Christian or not, this principle should be part of our lives. After the priest finished his speech, the part that I enjoyed most came: Christmas carols5. Christmas carols are songs that people sing at Christmas, such as "Jingle Bells", "We Wish You a Merry Christmas", "Silent Night"and so on. Some were very merry, others sounded quite holy, but all of them were beautiful. I closed my eyes, and let all the peacefulness and happiness that were in the songs flow through me. What a feeling it was!

We went to sleep earlier that day for we had to get up early on Christmas Day to open our presents. Sure enough, when I was still half-way during a sweet dream, Stephen burst into my room and told me to get up and open presents. There were a huge pile of presents under the Christmas tree, and there was such a mysterious mist shrouding them that made me eager to see what they all were. So one by one, we went through all the presents. Mr. and Mrs. Stapczynski had bought me everything I had written on my Christmas list--and a lot more! I got music CDs, film DVDs, clothes, books I was very happy, and I didnt know how to express my appreciation for what they had done for me.

Stephen and Niko had gotten a lot of presents too, and they had already been trying out their new games!

In the afternoon, we went to Mrs. Stapczynskis brother, Uncle Stans house. They had prepared a marvelous meal for us. A lot of their friends and relatives also came. I saw Stephen and Nikos grandparents, Yiayia and Papou (words of grandma and grandpa in Greek--Mrs. Stapczynskis parents came from Greece, so they like the boys using Greek words to call them). They were very kind to me, and treated me just like one of their family members. We had a very luxurious meal, consisting of turkey, beef, pork, and all sorts of other food.

After the meal, when all the stomachs were full and everyone was feeling drowsy6 from all the food, we just sat around the table and chatted, just like what we Chinese people do at the Spring Festival. After all, Christmas, like the Spring Festival, is a time for us to get away from our busy lives, a time for family gathering, and a time to have some fun.
