山东高考英语作文题目：给美国朋友Tom的回信（汇集20篇）

阅读下面的材料，按照要求作文。

颜回是孔子的杰出弟子，他终生贫困，并不幸早逝。按照世俗的看法，颜回的一生是不幸而凄惨的。但是我们看到的颜回却是“人不堪其忧，回也不改其乐”，虽居陋巷，箪食瓢饮，内心世界却充盈着无比的快乐。

这就是历有名的“孔颜之乐”，留给后人的问题是，高度的精神修养是否能够冲淡现实生活中的不幸?或者说，当人们面对简陋匮乏的现实生活时，内心的幸福感究竟源自何处?

对此你一定有过自己的体验和思考，请结合上述材料，写一篇文章。

注意角度自选，立意自定，题目自拟。明确文体，不得写成诗歌。不得少于800字。不得抄袭、套作。

佳作欣赏：【幸福的源泉在于修养】

颜回，“孔门七十二贤”之首，后人尊为“复圣”。他何以有幸获此殊荣?因其居陋巷，箪食瓢饮，“人不堪其忧，回也不改其乐”，更因其崇高的德行。

我明白了，高度的精神修养可以冲淡现实生活中的不幸，成为身陷困厄之人的幸福源泉。

顾城曾说：“我是一个任性的孩子，我想涂去一切不幸，我想在大地上，画满窗子，让所有习惯黑暗的眼睛，都习惯光明。”当命运的喉咙被无情卡住时，埃尼奥·莫里康内却没有妥协，对音乐的狂热痴爱使他从容面对一切。父亲卧病不起时，年幼的埃尼奥不得不辍学工作来维持这个风雨飘摇的家。即使如此，他仍呵护着他那颗勇往直前、快乐向上的心，最终成为世界公认的“电影配乐大师”，为自己的人生添上了浓墨重彩的一笔。可见，高度的精神追求能冲淡生活的悲苦，并让人找寻到属于自己的幸福。

我懂得了，幸福感源于何——源于心灵的丰盈、精神的修养。苏轼若因为被贬而整日郁郁寡欢，我想，他一定无法创作出精彩的“云散月明谁点缀?天容海色本澄清”;刘禹锡如果因居陋室黯然神伤，我想，他一定无法怡然地书写《陋室铭》;“当代愚公”李保国如果嫌弃太行山区生活苦，我想，他一定无法安然地三十五年如一日，为荒山带来苍翠，为乡亲拔除“穷根”……他们知道，真正的悠然是懂得享受明月清风、阳光鸟鸣;真正的快乐是不畏困厄之锁，把住信念之舵，思想不迷航、行为不迷失;真正的幸福在于执着于精神追求。

生活哪有一帆风顺?因为大地的凹凸，才有了河流;因为温度的变换，才有了春夏秋冬;因为有了境遇的顺逆，才使我们的生活更加绚丽。身在尘世间，我们不能左右环境，但我们可以左右自己的心。面对难题，有的人自怨自艾、意志消沉，以致一发不可收拾，终将迈上不归路。而有的人却始终相信人生是一幅山水画，即便山峦重重，也相信有峰回路转;即便路途艰难，也背上一份希望，大步向前——他们的底气，源于他们的精神追求與修养。

修养高，智慧就能开启，开启了智慧的人才能明白人生的真谛，才能与“大道”同行，才能感受到真正的幸福是什么。这也许就是上天赋予人的终极使命。

《儒林外史》中的严监生，虽一生富贵，但直到死都在与自己的小心眼怄气，活得不如一生清贫的颜回快乐，此正说明精神的幸福才是真正的幸福。

幸福遵于自我的内心，内心的主君是修养。当今，最重要的修养是精神教养，所以，我们，未来的主人，请谨记，提高个人修养，是提升幸福感的正途。

现在，许多人喜欢出国留学。出国留学经常被认为是一个很好的机会，它能使人在旅途中获得光明的未来。我们不仅可以从国外学习不同的文化和知识，出国留学也可以丰富我们的生活。

一枚硬币有两面。同样，不同的人有不同的想法。对出国留学的保守和消极的关注已经逐渐从我们的社会中显现出来。人们开始怀疑出国留学出了什么问题。有几个问题值得我们讨论。

出国留学的不利因素可能影响文化和经济生活。我们中国人如果出国留学，在国外生活，就会经历文化冲击。有些同龄人可能无法适应新的学习和生活环境，这可能与他们的学习环境大不相同。生活是美好的，是艰难的。如果一个人对另一个国家的新文化感到不舒服，他在那个国家学习不会感到高兴。

此外，出国留学可能会给学生造成许多生活费。一些中国学生在学业上很成功，因此在学习中获得奖学金。然而，大多数出国留学的同行都没有获得奖学金。此外，他们不得不远离父母和祖国，应付许多意想不到的困难。例如，医疗保险、日常饮食、衣服、租金和交通运输可以产生大量的生活费用。通常，他们需要在很大程度上依赖父母的海外月供。

穿过岁月浩瀚的烟尘，走过泥泞坎坷的道路，挨过寒冷渺茫的黑夜，中国，奏响了高速发展的交响曲。如果光芒四射是发展的奇迹，那么科技发展则是我们不断进步的力量源泉。

一百年前，一群学生走上街头，高举着科学的旗帜，呐喊着进步图存和科学救国，他们用科技这剂良药，将奄奄一息的中国救活，让他重新站了起来。

历史的车轮滚滚前行，“五四”运动一百年后的今天，千帆竞发，国际竞争又将“科技强国”的使命推至青年人面前。身为新时代的青年，我们听到了时代的声音和祖国的召唤，扛起责任的大旗，牢记使命，以知识建设祖国，用科技创造强国。

科技强国，是颠扑不破的真理。当今中国，正在走向世界舞台的中央。我们抓住机会，赶上了信息革命的末班车，并在全国人民的努力下，后来居上，引领着科技潮流，也引领着世界潮流。是什么让我们在国际舞台上掷地有声?是什么让居心叵测的国家对我们虎视眈眈却只能按兵不动?是科技的力量。

是我们的北斗导航系统，让我们摆脱了对GPS的依赖，让我们的导航定位不再受制于人;是我们的华为5G技术，让我们立于信息时代的潮头;是我们的“墨子号”量子通信卫星，让我们的信息绝对安全保密，再也不用担心被他人窃取……是这些强大的科技，让我们越来越自信，让国家屹立于世界民族之林而不倒。

身为新时代的新青年，我们应肩负使命，用心建设祖国，用科技强国。周总理的教诲“为中华之崛起而读书”犹在耳旁回响，邓小平的“科学技术是第一生产力”的理念，我们绝不会忘。我们，一定会接过建设祖国的接力棒，走好这漫漫长征路，我们一定会努力学习，日后将知识转化成科技，转化成力量，做这个时代洪流中的弄潮儿。

前有风餐露宿的“两弹元勋”邓稼先、焚膏继晷的“中国科技众帅之帅”朱光亚等先辈们的努力，我们，以吾辈青春之名起誓：作为未来中国的希望，我们青年们一定沿着前辈大师们的足迹，以自己的光和热挥洒青春与热血，牢记使命，将所学知识化为科技力量，不忘初心，撸起袖子加油干!

贾平凹先生曾言：“我有使命不敢怠。”唯愿你我皆以此为座右铭。不驰于空想，不骛于虚声，传承五四精神，深悟科技力量，牢记使命，无畏前行，无问西东，为祖国的强大再添辉煌!

What Is American Dream?

什么是美国梦？

What is the American Dream? Is it the same for all Americans? Is it a myth? Is it simply a search for a better life? How has the American Dream changed over time? Some see their dreams wither and die while others see their dreams fulfilled. Why? Everyone has dreams abut a personally fulfilled life... and what is your dream?

什么是美国梦？所有的美国人都是一样的吗？它是虚构的事吗？它是为了追求更好的生活吗？美国梦随着时间是如何改变的？有些人的梦想破灭了而有些人却实现了梦想。是什么原因呢？每个人都有自己想要实现的梦想，你的梦想是什么呢？

The term American Dream was first used by James Adams in his book The Epic of America which was written in 1931. He states: The American Dream is that dream of a land in which life should be better and richer and fuller for everyone, with opportunity for each according to ability or achievement. It is a difficult dream for the European upper classes to interpret adequately, and too many of us ourselves have grown tired and mistrustful of it. It is not a dream of cars and high wages merely, but a dream of social order in which each man and each woman shall be able to get to the fullest stature of which they are capable, and be recognized by others for what they are, regardless of the fortuitous circumstances of birth or position."

美国梦这个词最早出现在詹姆斯·亚当斯1931年写的《美国史诗》这本书中。他写道：美国梦是指渴望生活在能够让人们生活丰裕富足的热土上，每个人都有机会实现自己的价值。它是一个欧洲上流社会很难理解和体会的梦想，并且我们中的相当多人对此持怀疑和不信任的态度。这个梦想不仅仅是拥有汽车和高工资，而且还应当包括这样一种社会秩序，在这种秩序下，男人和女人不论他们出身如何，社会地位如何，都能最大程度地实现自己的潜能并为他人所认可和接受”。

In the united States Declaration of Independence, our founding fathers state: "... all Men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness." Might this view be considered the foundation of the American Dream?

在美国的《独立宣言》中，我们的创始人指出：“……所有的人人生而平等，创物主赋予他们若干不可剥夺的权利，这其中包括生命权，自由权和追求幸福的权利。”这一说法也许可能被视为美国梦的基础？

Were homesteaders who left the big cities of the east to find happiness and their piece of land in the unknown wilderness of the west pursuing these Rights? Were the immigrants who came to the United States looking for their bit of life, liberty, happiness and their Dream? And what did the desire of the veteran of World War II—to settle down, to have a home, a car and a family—tell us about this Dream? Is the American Dream attainable by all Americans? Would Martin Luther King feel his Dream was attained? Did Malcolm X realize his Dream?

农场主为了寻找幸福离开了东部的大城市，抛弃了他们在西部未知荒野上的土地，他们是在实现自己权利吗？移民来到美国，是为了自己想要的生活，追求自由、幸福和梦想吗？二战老兵的愿望又是什么呢，安定下来，有居住的房子，汽车然后组建家庭——告诉我们这就是梦想？所有美国人都能实现美国梦吗？马丁·路德金会认为自己能够梦想成真吗？马尔科姆·X实现自己的梦想了吗？

[什么是美国梦的英语作文

阅读下面的材料，根据自己的感悟和联想，写一篇不少于800字的文章。

单反相机并不是被同行打败，居然是毫不相关的行业：智能手机。康师傅和统一方便面销量直线下滑，并不是因为其它品牌方便面崛起，而是因为美团、饿了吗等外卖。打败卖单车店铺或修自行车铺的也不是同行，而是共享单车。

有人曾开玩笑说：“打败小偷的是移动支付。”这一切都很像科幻小说《三体》中所说的：“我消灭你，与你无关。”“敌人”在哪里?你想过吗?

要求：①自选角度，自拟标题;②文体自选(诗歌除外)，文体特征鲜明;③不得抄袭，不得套作。

佳作欣赏：【居安思危方能不败】

单反相机可能从没想过它们会在时代的潮流中被智能手机打败，方便面巨头也可能没想过越来越懒散的人会有一天竟然拒绝它们。时代并没有给这些处在鼎盛时期的企业任何提醒就抛弃了它们，它们也没能在时代之中看到自己的发展方向而走向下坡。所以，任何人都应该站在时代的潮流之上，居安思危方能立于不败之地。

代打败你，可能并不是你违背了历史潮流，而只是因为你只是在时代潮流之中不能立于潮头。每一个“弄涛儿”只能向涛头而立，方能“手把红旗旗不湿”。

马从不曾忘记奔跑，因为它知道只有跑得快才能逃避敌害，获得生存;蚂蚁一入秋就开始不停忙碌，因为它知道只有积累得多才能穿越寒冬;小树在还是苗的时候就不停地向深处扎根，因为它知道只有根扎得牢才能顶得住暴雨狂风。动植物尚且知道在安逸的条件下为以后的艰难做准备，我们人类呢，不是更应该懂得，居安思危方能立于不败之地吗?

经济发展迅猛、生活环境不断改善、生活水平不断提高的今天，人们往往会过度沉浸于自我的优越感之中，而忽视了来自周围的危机和挑战。要知道，糖衣炮弹有时比冷兵器的杀伤力来得更为强大。你的对手可能是“智能手机”“外卖”等你意想不到的对象。而作为一个人，一个社会，甚至一个民族，一个国家，如果失去了赖以生存的精神家园，失去了前进的精神动力、智力支持和思想保证，又怎么能够脚踏实地地向未来发起挑战，又怎么能够如初生的朝阳般充满生机和活力，不断向上攀登，直至达到人生的辉煌点?因此，摒弃盲目的优越感，树立必要的危机意识，我们才能在发展路上越探越深，越行越远。

永远战战兢兢，永远如履薄冰”的提醒，使张瑞敏率领海尔走向世界;“我们离破产永远只有十八个月”的告诫，使比尔?盖茨率领微软席卷全球。“居安思危，思则有备，有备无患”这样丰富的哲理，不仅对国家、对企业具有警示和指导意义，对于个人亦然，能居安而思的人，必然是永远走在时代前列，永远成为生活的强者，是对生活有着深刻认识的智者。我想，只有这样，我们才能创造人生的辉煌。

在顺境中看时代，在危机中求生存，树立危机意识，不断推动自身前进发展，你的人生将更加稳定和开阔，更加丰富和精彩!

《不沁何芳》

大观园竣工后，众人给园中桥上亭子的匾额题名。有人移用了欧阳修《醉翁亭记》中的“有亭翼然”。有人借鉴化用了“泻出于两峰之间”。贾宝玉根据情境，创造了“沁芳”一词。

匾额与对联，是园林的点睛之笔。撇开作者的深意，平心而论，单看题名，三个名称各有各的精彩。“翼然”来自于大家名篇，强调了亭子的灵巧飞扬，富有文人气质。“泻玉”铮然有声，让人想见流泉的晶莹剔透、气韵生动，想见苏轼的《醉翁操》：“琅然，清圆，谁弹?响空山。”而“沁芳”，点出了花木映水的佳境，暗含元妃的美德与恩泽，蕴藉含蓄。大观园是女儿国，一切青春的生命在这里融合、汇聚，“沁芳”，是必然的选择。

在文学史上成功地借鉴化用的例子，不胜枚举。王勃的名句“落霞与孤鹜齐飞，秋水共长天一色”即是对南北朝文学家庾信“落花与芝盖齐飞，杨柳共春旗一色”的化用，青出于蓝而胜于蓝。而苏州的沧浪亭，更是直接撷取屈原的“沧浪之水情兮，可以濯我缨”，体现了操守高洁的主题。中国文化博大精深，璀璨光华，无论是直接移用，或是借鉴化用，或是根据情景创新，都是在传承中的发展，关键在于运用得宜。没有香草美人喻美德的传统，“沁芳”也就少了一点深厚的意蕴。

中国是一个雍容典雅的国度，我们曾有过世界上最灿烂的诗篇。这种诗礼文化，浸润了一代代读书人甚至是平头百姓，化成了他们的思维方式和言行准则。传统文化熏陶下的君子之风，在同老一辈人的交往中，在大型历史连续剧《觉醒年代》里，可以窥见一二。你不能不为先辈们的坦荡胸襟与体贴周到动容。“沁”，是吸纳，是渗出。没有传统文化的传承、浸润，何谈散发着馨香的品格渗出?

这些年，传统文化得到了有识之士的重视，疫情中“青山一道同云雨，明月何曾是两乡”的运用，触动了人们心底那一根最美的弦。张艺谋揉传统美学为一炉的冬奥会开幕式，获得了广大群众的高度赞誉。然而，我们不能不看到，匆匆行走的脚步，网络世界的喧哗，让我们丢弃了多少内心的繁华?急功近利，焦躁的情绪充斥互联网，每一个新闻事件，都能激起汹涌的浪花。关于教材的讨论，有人断章取义怒斥曹文轩，有人移花接木揭发汪曾祺，有人甚至能在《岳阳楼记》中寻觅到移出课本的理由。试问，你可曾对那些经典作品细细地品读?

文化是浸润，是吸纳，是静水流深。孟子曰：“充实之谓美，充实而光辉之谓大”。中华文化是一个精美的大观园，古为今用，不管是如何运用，首先，请让我们细细吸纳它的芬芳，在吸收传承中，让它吐露出恒久的芳香。

The benefit of volunteering

As we all know, volunteering has a meaningful and positive impact on the community you serve and the people you help. In the meanwhile, it can have many benefits for you, too. In my opinion, there are two reasons to

volunteer: feel good about yourself while helping others; build your portfolio.

On one hand, volunteering makes you feel good about yourself on a purely selfish level. There are few things more satisfying than helping people. Hammering nails on a new home while the owner beams with pride right next to you is an amazing feeling. Walking or running to raise funds for a cause close to your heart helps to give you a sense of purpose and helps you realize just how lucky you are. As a volunteer, you will gain new perspective, for it’s so easy for us all to get a little too wrapped up in our own lives. On the other hand, from a professional standpoint, volunteering is a great way to add to your portfolio. From press releases to design pieces, from public speaking to fundraising,

you will have the opportunity to build your portfolio. This is especially beneficial for students or young professionals, although all of us should continually work on building our portfolios.

Apart from the benefits of building up your confidence and making your portfolio better, there are probably many other benefits you will find in your volunteer work. So it is time for you to participate in more volunteer work to help others as well as help yourselves.

“本手、妙手、俗手”是围棋的三个术语。本手是指合乎棋理的正规下法;妙手是指出人意料的精妙下法;俗手是指貌似合理，而从全局看通常会受损的下法。对于初学者而言，应该从本手开始，本手的功夫扎实了，棋力才会提高。一些初学者热衷于追求妙手，而忽视更为常用的本手。本手是基础，妙手是创造。一般来说，对本手理解深刻，才可能出现妙手;否则，难免下出俗手，水平也不易提升。

以上材料对我们颇具启示意义。请结合材料写一篇文章，体现你的感悟与思考。

要求：选准角度，确定立意，明确文体，自拟标题;不要套作，不得抄袭;不得泄露个人信息;不少于800字。

What is a friend? Some people say, "friends are of course to make use of each other!" Someone said: "when he is rich friends, no money call." But I think the true meaning of the word "friend" is not this.

The bicycle is the most popular means of transportation in China. China is a country “on bicycle wheels”。 People ride them for various purposes such as going to and from school and work. Bicycles are very cheap and easy to buy in China.

There are many advantages to riding a bicycle. First， using a bicycle can greatly help reduce the air pollution in many big cities. Second， people can improve their health by riding a bicycle.

The future of bicycle will be bright. In some European countries， city governments have arranged pedestrians to use “public bicycles” to travel round the city center free of charge.

Music美国人的音乐爱好

James Fenimore Cooper, an early American writer, once said, "The Americans are almost ignorant of the art of music." If that was once true, you would never know it today. Most Americans——even those without a musical bone in their bodies——have a favorite style of music. Many people enjoy classical and folk music from around the world. But other popular music styles in America were "made in the U.S.A."

一位美国早期的作家柯柏(James Fenimore Cooper)曾说：「美国人对音乐艺术几乎可以说是相当的无知。」如果这话曾经是事实，今日你绝不会这么认为了。大部份的美国人，甚至包括那些没有音乐细胞的人，都有自己喜爱的音乐型态。许多人喜欢世界各国的古典音乐和民俗音乐，然而美国其它的流行音乐则是「在美国制造」的。

Country and western music lies close to the heart of many Americans. This style originated among country folks in the southern and western United States. Country music tells down-to-earth stories about love and lifes hardships. Guitars, banjos and violins——also known as fiddles——give country music its characteristic sound. The home of country music is Nashville, Tennessee——Music City U.S.A. Country music even has its own theme park called "Opryland" where you can enjoy music shows and fun rides. "The Grand Ole Opry," the oldest radio show in the United States, broadcasts country music live from Opryland every weekend.

乡村和西部音乐深得很多美国人的人心，这种型态的音乐起源于美国南部和西部的乡村小民们。乡村音乐传述着真实不加渲染的爱情故事和生活中的艰难。吉他、五弦琴和小提琴(violin又名fiddle)可弹奏出乡村音乐的特殊音色。乡村音乐的发源地是田纳西州的纳许维尔市——美国的音乐城市。而乡村音乐甚至还有它自己的主题乐园——Opryland呢!在那儿你可以享受音乐表演以及好玩的游乐设施。美国最老牌的广播节目「The Grand Ole Opry」每个周末都实况播放Opryland的音乐。

Jazz music, developed by African-Americans in the late 1800s, allows performers to freely express their emotions and musical skill. Instead of just playing the melody, jazz musicians improvise different tunes using the same chords. The peak of jazz music came in the 1920s, known as "The Jazz Era." This period produced musicians like Louis Armstrong, Benny Goodman and Duke Ellington. These musicians later created the "big band" sounds of the 1930s. Different styles of jazz developed in different cities, such as New Orleans, Chicago, New York and Kansas City. Composer George Gershwin brought jazz into the world of classical music with pieces like "Rhapsody in Blue."

爵士乐是十九世纪末期由非裔的美国人发展出来的。它让表演者自由地表现他们的情感和音乐技巧。不仅演奏旋律，爵士音乐大师用同样的和弦即兴演奏出不同的曲调。爵士乐的高峰期出现于二○年代，该时期被称为「爵士年代」。这个时期创造出来的乐手有阿姆斯特朗(Louise Armstrong)，古德曼(Benny goodman)和埃林顿(Duke Ellington)。这些乐手稍后都创造了三○年代的「大乐团」之音。在不同的城市也孕育出不同的爵士风格，像是纽奥尔良、芝加哥、纽约和坎萨斯市。作曲家盖希文(George Gershwin)更以像「蓝色狂想曲」这样的作品，将爵士乐带入古典音乐的世界里。

老实说，我很荣幸成为你的朋友。我还记得我们在一起的日子。我觉得你是世界上最善良的人。我们在一起的时候，我们总是亲如兄弟，所以在我的心里我很感激你。你离开后，我总是想起你。下一次如果我们有机会见到对方，我会对你说“谢谢你”。谢谢你的善良。让我现在的人生有了意义。

Although we are in two different places now, we are still together, because we are always heart to heart. I believe we can see each other again. Since we are always close friends as well as dear brothers. Because of you, my life is always so significant. Wherever I am, I will pray good luck for you.

虽然现在我们在两个不同的地方，但我们依然在一起，因为我们总是心连心。我相信我们还能再次见面。 因为我们是亲密的朋友，亲爱的兄弟。因为你，我的人生总是那么的有意义。无论我在哪里，我都会为你祈祷好运。

Last but not the least, I hope you can make it and have a bright future.

最后但并非最不重要的是我希望你能有一个光明的未来。

Sincerely yours,

父母悄悄到孩子的学校探望,却遭到了孩子的冷落.最近,朋友圈里一篇堪称“声泪俱下”的文章《》引发网友热议。文中记录了作者的老友在国庆期间探望独生女儿，本准备送去惊喜却反遭女儿抱怨的故事。父亲问女儿为何如此冷漠，女儿说一是有代沟，二是她已和同学约好要去外地游玩，父母却未经她同意就来到学校，对她极不尊重。

很多人不赞同女儿的做法，认为她不尊重父母。网友“路星河”留言：“可怜天下父母心啊!有多少孩子能体谅父母?也许只有自己当了父母之后才会明白父母的苦心，只是别等到‘子欲养而亲不待’。”

也有网友认为父母的做法有待商榷，微信网友“Dreamer”说：“为什么出发前不沟通好探望时间，父母是否明白，这种长假，孩子与同学肯定有安排。因为我们是孩子的爹娘，所以就来了?只能说，因为爹娘忘了尊重子女作为成年人的自主权，所以，他们注定换不来女儿的爱与尊重。”

对此现象，你怎么看?请综合材料内容及含意作文，体现你的思考、权衡与选择。

要求：选好角度，确定立意，明确文体，自拟标题;不要套作，不得抄袭;不少于800字。

我的朋友My Friend

Zeng Qiao is one of my friends。 She is a beautiful， outgoingand good-tempered girl。 She smiles frequently。 I think it’s her smile that makes her beauty。 We live in the same dormitory， so that we always stay together， no matter going to classroom or having dinners。 At first， I don’t like her very much， because she is always talking。 It seems that she can’t stop open her mouth。 I am a little bit quiet and introverted， so I seldom talk to others。 But gradually， I find that she can have influence on others by what she says。 Zeng Qiao likes sharing interesting things with others。 For example， she likes telling us her funny stories of her childhood or her former classmates。 She always tells me that I should be more extroverted and learn to talk to others。 Under the influence of her， I municate with others more frequently and I find that it feels so great。 I am so grateful that I can have such a good friend。

曾巧是我的一个朋友，她是个漂亮活波，脾气又好的女孩子。她很喜欢笑，我觉得是她的笑容使她看上去漂亮。我们住同一间宿舍，因此不管是去教室还是吃饭都形影不离。之前我并不喜欢她，我认为她太喜欢说话了，总是停不住她的嘴。相反我性格内向，喜欢安静，很少跟别人说话。但是渐渐地，我发现她是个善于用言语影响别人的女孩子，她喜欢跟别人分享搞笑的事，那些童年的故事或是以前同学的事情。她经常开导我要变得外向，多试着跟别人说话。在她的影响下，我跟别人交流也更多了，并且发现这感觉十分好。我觉得有这样的朋友很幸运！

每隔几分钟就要看一眼手机，不断刷新着微博、微信、QQ，看好友在干什么，那些飘在风中的代码时时刻刻左右着我们的情绪。岂止是手机改变了我们的生活，放眼望去，载人航天，载人深潜，北斗导航……科技已把世界的每个角落从孤立变为联系的整体，它可以让千里之外的陌生变为熟悉。然而我们在为此狂欢的时候，对身边的人与事又知多少?

要求：选好角度，确定立意，明确文体，自拟标题，不要脱离材料内容及含意的范围作文。

范文

科技时代，人们可随时随地记录与分享生活的点点滴滴，虽说有时会带来一丝忧伤，但科技时代的到来，已成为历史不可阻挡的趋势，我们要跟着前进的脚步一起奔跑!

20--年1月19日，柯达公司在纽约依据美国《破产法》第十一章提出破产保护申请。昔日的柯达曾是胶卷时代绝对的王者，占据全球2/3的市场份额，鼎盛时期在全球拥有超过14.5万名的员工，地位相当于今天的苹果或谷歌。但随着数码技术的出现，照相技术逐渐告别底片和相纸，一张巴掌大的光盘可存储成千上万张照片，底片和相纸除了部分专业人士外，基本已无人问津。是什么让柯达走向死亡?说到底是任何人都阻挡不了的科技的力量!

岂止是柯达的破产彰显了科技的力量，放眼望去，我们时时刻刻都在享受着科技带来的便捷。

不止一次看到这样动人的画面：重症病房外守候的亲人，站在隔离室门前，眼里噙满泪水，手里握着手机，轻轻地按动键码，发出一声声深情的问候;隔离室内，病人手脚不能动弹，却能侧过脑袋，盯着手机屏幕，轻声念着亲人的话语。或许这位亲人最终没能挺过来，可是这快捷的信息却能陪着他欣慰地走完人生的最后一程。科技的力量见证了一份又一份超越生死的人间温情。

科技时代，我们能在一分钟之内让邮件发遍全球; 科技时代，我们能在一分钟之内和千里之外的亲人见面;

科技时代，我们能在一分钟之内看遍全球的风景;科技时代，我们能随时随地地在网上分享自己的快乐;科技时代，我们能随时随地地记录自己值得珍惜的点滴……

遥想当年，康熙对西方科技很感兴趣，于是请了西方传教士给他讲西学，但这些知识最终也没有挽救清王朝落后的命运，根本原因是他们学习西学时大多是坐而论道、禁中清谈，并没有让科技知识在全社会推广。所以科技只有在社会上推广，被国人接受，才能真正转换成实际生产力。君看今日之中国，京广高铁、“嫦娥奔月”、汉字激光照排、3D打印……科技的日新月异，无时无刻不在改变着我们的生活，我们也无时无刻不在享受着科技带来的便利!

也许有人说，科技时代的到来让我们远离了传统的诗意，但科技时代的到来，没有谁能做真正的“隐者”。这是历史发展的大趋势，让我们跟着科技时代的步伐，一起奔跑!

Liang liang is no longer the boy he used to be – he has changed greatly. Only a year ago, he was overweight and a little lazy. He got tired easily and did not like sport. His favorite meal was fried chicken and chips. One day, he realized that he couldnt continue like this. So, he decided to change. He started to exercise. He ran in the school playground every day. He also began eating a healthier diet of more fruits and vegetable, and less meat. These changes helped him lose a lot of weight. He is now a very happy boy in very good shape, and he is always so active. What can we learn from Liang liang to feel better and look better? We should all be careful about what we eat and make sure that we get enough exercise.

dear leo,

how are you?

tem-4 is around the corner. according to the teachers’ telling, i know passing tem4 is not an easy thing. although it may not be too difficult to pass it, getting a high mark needs hard work. so i often go to the library to study.i like the feeling of working hard. while i prepare for the exam, i often feelso satisfied. i think it’s a good thing for me to prepare tem4. the most difficult thing for me to do well in tem-4 is the vocabulary. i find it’s hard to remember, and i am unwilling to remember words, because in middle school and high school ididntneed to remember vocabulary on purpose. i can remember them through the exercises. unfortunately, i can’t do it now. but my problem is i still can’t find a good method which is fit for me to remember vocabulary well. could you do me a favor? i am looking forward to your replying. best wishes!

sincerely yours,

john
