用英语讲好中国故事的英语作文（精选20篇）

plants seem to know which way is up and which way is down; besides, they seem to know right from left. if a cutting from a tree is kept alive, new shoots will grow from the end that grew in the highest part of the tree.

there is no noticeable difference between the top and the bottom of the living stick, even under a microscope. even so, the stick will not send out shoots from the end it regards as bottom even if this end happens to be on top!

scientists studying this subject further split their cuttings in the direction of length.

to their surprise, they made another new discovery. a good many more buds grew on the righthand side of the split surface than on the left. they split the sticks again and found that the buds again grew on the right side.

the results of the entire study showed a 60% choice for the right side, proving that growing plants are mostly "righthanded.”

植物似乎知道哪条路是向上的，而且它的方式是下降；此外，他们似乎知道从左。如果从一棵树上砍下一棵树，新的枝条将从生长在树的最高部分的末端生长。

即使在显微镜下，活杆的顶部和底部也没有明显的区别。即使如此，棍子也不会发出芽从年底它作为底部，即使这样的结局发生在顶部！

研究这个课题的科学家在长度方向上进一步分裂他们的岩屑。

让他们惊讶的是，他们发现了另一个新发现。一个好的许多芽长在剖分面右边比左边。他们又把树枝劈了，发现右边的芽又长了。

这项研究的结果表明，右侧为60%选择，证明了植物生长的大部分是“右手”。

苏武牧羊

西汉时，中郎将苏武出使匈奴，单于派汉朝叛使、被单于封为丁灵王的卫律前来诱降。卫律说："苏先生，我从前背叛汉朝归降匈奴，受到单于大恩，封我为丁灵王，拥有数万奴隶，马匹、牲畜漫山遍野。你今天投降了，明天也和我一样富贵，若白白地流血牺牲，又有谁知道你呢!"苏武怒斥道： "卫律，你身为汉民，不顾恩义，叛国投敌，你虽然能得逞于一时，最终却逃脱不了天地良心的审判。"

卫律见苏武不屈服，只得向单于报告。单于见苏武很有气节，十分钦佩，更想招降他。于是把苏武囚禁在一个大地窖里，不给饮食，苏武只得嚼雪止渴，用毡毛充饥。后来单于又将苏武移到北海荒无人烟的地方，逼迫他牧羊。北海在今苏联境内的西伯利亚的贝加尔湖一带。苏武到了北海，匈奴停止了对他的食物供应，他只得觅野鼠掘草根充饥。在这荒漠上，除了丛生的野草，就是漫天的风雪，终年见不到一个人影。苏武抱着代表汉廷的旄节牧羊，无论坐卧行走都拿着汉节。岁月一天天流逝，节杆上缀的三重旄牛尾都落尽了。

十九年过去了，苏武历尽艰辛，终于回到自己的祖国。他出使还是壮年，及至归国，头发胡须全白了。岁月改变了他的容颜，却改变不了他忠于祖国的赤子之心。

1924年11月，北京开展声势浩大的支持孙中山北上、反对北洋军阀政府的斗争;

1925年五卅运动爆发后，李大钊与赵世炎等人在北京组织5万余人的示威，有力地支持了上海人民的反帝斗争;

1926年3月，李大钊在极端危险和困难的情况下，积极领导并亲自参加了北京反对帝国主义和北洋军阀的三一八运动，号召人们用五四的精神、五卅的热血，不分界限地联合起来，反抗帝国主义的联合进攻，反对军阀的卖国行为。

李大钊的革命活动，遭到北洋军阀的仇视，他们下令通缉李大钊。

1927年4月6日，奉系军阀张作霖勾结帝国主义。在北京逮捕李大钊等80余人。

在狱中，李大钊备受酷刑，但始终严守党的秘密，大义凛然，坚贞不屈。

4月28日，北洋军阀政府不顾社会舆论的强烈反对和谴责，将李大钊等20位革命者绞杀在西交民巷京师看守所内。临刑前，李大钊慷慨激昂：“不能因为反动派今天绞死了我，就绞死了伟大的共产主义，共产主义在中国必然得到光辉的胜利”。

他高呼“共产党万岁!”英勇就义，时年38岁。

从前有一天，庄周梦见自己变成了蝴蝶，一只翩翩起舞的蝴蝶。自己非常快乐，悠然自得，不知道自己是庄周。一会儿梦醒了，却是僵卧在床的庄周。不知是庄周做梦变成了蝴蝶呢，还是蝴蝶做梦变成了庄周呢?

这则寓言是表现庄子齐物思想的名篇。庄子认为人们如果能打破生死、物我的界限，则无往而不快乐。它写得轻灵飘渺，常为哲学家和文学家所引用。

《庄子·蝶梦》中有一段妙语：“昔者庄周梦为蝴蝶，栩栩然蝴蝶也，自喻适志与，不知周也。俄然觉，则蘧蘧然周也。不知周之梦为蝴蝶与，蝴蝶之梦为周与?周与蝴蝶则必有分矣。此之谓物化。”

清人张潮写的《幽梦影》，可称得上是一副供燥热的现代人服用的清凉散。禅不可说，清言不可译。《幽梦影》中有这么一句妙语，可谓是点出了庄子哲学的精髓：“庄周梦为蝴蝶，庄周之幸也;蝴蝶梦为庄周，蝴蝶之不幸也。”

不是吗?庄周化为蝴蝶，从喧嚣的人生走向逍遥之境，是庄周的大幸;而蝴蝶梦为庄周，从逍遥之境步入喧嚣的人生，恐怕就是蝴蝶的悲哀了。

道理：

庄周梦蝶是庄子提出的一个哲学论点，认为人不可能确切地区分真实和虚幻。

庄子以故事的形式对此进行了如下阐述：“昔者庄周梦为蝴蝶，栩栩然蝴蝶也。自喻适志与!不知周也。俄然觉，则蘧蘧然周也。不知周之梦为蝴蝶与?蝴蝶之梦为周与?周与蝴蝶则必有分矣。此之谓物化。”[选自《庄子·内篇·齐物论第二》 ]

其大意就是庄子一天做梦梦见自己变成了蝴蝶，梦醒之后发现自己还是庄子，于是他不知道自己到底是梦到庄子的蝴蝶呢，还是梦到蝴蝶的庄子。在这里，庄子提出一个哲学问题——人如何认识真实。如果梦足够真实，人没有任何能力知道自己是在做梦。

听说城里很热闹，笨狼就想去看看。

他穿上红色的灯笼裤，戴上白色的鸭舌帽，唱首歌儿走出森林，来到了公路上。

开来了一辆绿色的出租车，前头亮着空车的标志。笨狼挥挥手，车停了，司机打开车门，礼貌地说：

“先生，请上车!”

笨狼伸出手，想拉司机一把，没想到司机撒腿就跑，跑得比兔子还快。

司机跑了，笨狼只好自己开车。

前面是街心广场，红灯亮了，大大小小的车停了一长溜儿。

笨狼不懂得交通规则。他一踩油门，“呼”的一声，绿色小汽车冲过了斑马线。

交通警察猛地举起了手臂，他想拦住这辆车。可是，他的口哨掉了，举起的手臂僵得像根木头，半天也没能放下来。

交通警察什么都见过，就是没见过一只狼开着绿色出租车闯红灯。

笨狼走进了城里最大的百货商店。

商店里的顾客和营业员看见笨狼来了，乱作一团。试衣间的门挤破了，柜台底下人堆人。商店经理用一个塑料水桶罩住脑袋，以为这样最安全。一个正在给女儿买洋娃娃的年轻妈妈，吓得把女儿和洋娃娃弄混了，抱着洋娃娃就跑，反而把宝贝女儿留下了。

商店里有自动扶梯。这新鲜玩艺儿，森林里还从没见过呢!

笨狼站在自动扶梯上，不用自己爬楼梯，就从一楼到了二楼，又从二楼到了三楼。笨狼好高兴，就一边坐自动扶梯，一边从口袋里掏出两个松球抛着玩。抛着抛着，咕咚，咕咚，松球掉了，沿着扶梯滚到了楼下。

笨狼想去捡，但是，自动扶梯越升越高。

“停下!”笨狼大声命令。但是，自动扶梯不理他，越升越高。

“你难不住我!”笨狼说，“咱们比比，看谁厉害!”

笨狼转身就往楼下跑。可是，笨狼跑下一级，自动扶梯就上升一级，笨狼跑得气喘吁吁，跑得脱下了鸭舌帽和灯笼裤，还是在老地方。笨狼好狼狈。

商店里的顾客和营业员见了，都哈哈大笑起来，唉，他们真没礼貌。

经理取下头上的塑料桶，给动物园和警察局打电话：“快快，快把这只狼捉住，关进动物园去!”

买洋娃娃的小姑娘踏上自动扶梯，来帮助笨狼。她牵着笨狼的手说：

“来吧，我们先到楼上去，再从另一个扶梯下来!”

原来商店里有两个自动扶梯，一个管上，一下管下。

笨狼在楼下找到了松球，一个留给自己，一个送给买洋娃娃的小姑娘。

警察和动物园的工作人员来了。他们戴着头盔，拿着麻醉枪。

笨狼可不想被抓住。他冲出商店，钻进绿色出租车，使劲一踩油门，“呼”，汽车像一阵风似的开远了。

在2021年东京奥运会上，有一位短跑运动员，他拼尽全力，仍未登上领奖台，但他却凭借9秒83的成绩，成为第一个闯进奥运会男子百米决赛的黄种人。

这个成绩，一举打破亚洲纪录。他的名字在赛后轰动世界，是继刘翔之后，又一个封神的中国田径英雄。

很多人不知道的是，这个国人心目中的短跑英雄，却是一个超期服役的80后运动员，甚至几次想打报告退役。

不过幸好虽然伤痛、年龄等因素让他在训练中倍感压力，但他却从未放弃过心中的梦想。

他就是中国飞人苏炳添。

在短跑之路上，他为自己书写了一个又一个传奇。

苏炳添，1989年出生在广东中山古镇镇，父母亲都是地地道道的农民。

古镇镇特别重视田径运动，经常在村子里举办比赛，比苏炳添大9岁的表哥就是村子里的短跑冠军。

苏炳添和表哥的关系很要好，两人经常在一起追逐玩耍，有时候，苏炳添比表哥跑得还快。

上学后的苏炳添真正接触田径运动还是在初中，看着学校田径队员的专业训练，苏炳添也想加入。

无奈苏炳添个子低，达不到入队的标准，被教练拒绝了。为了加入田径队，苏炳添给教练展示了一个绝活，他以1米5高的身材，向上跳跃后可以摸到2米9高的门板。

教练惊讶到合不上嘴，随后如获至宝般地接收了苏炳添。

县城的体育学校，训练条件实在有限，连最基础的训练设施都不完善，现有的设备也都是破破烂烂。

就在这样的条件下，苏炳添坚持每天早晨5点半就起床训练，一练就是一整天，每周六日天天如此，从未间断过，但他从来都没有抱怨过累。

经过教练专业的指点，苏炳添无论在技能上，还是在体能上，都有了突飞猛进的进步。 他在学校、村里的各项比赛中多次夺得冠军，这也为苏炳添日后成为“飞人”打下坚实基础。

Today, daddy leads me to buy the flower to the flower shop, I elected three to plant flowers: Fresh refined lily, warm moving carnation, what I most like is that posture myriad rose.

今天,爸爸让我买花花店,我选三种花:清新雅致的莉莉,温暖的移动的康乃馨,我最喜欢的是姿态万千玫瑰.在花店的玫瑰有许多种颜色:白如雪,红象火,黄的像金的,粉红的喜欢美丽的云……我选择了一个最可爱的深紫到红的玫瑰.会在家里,我插入他们的水罐,坐在桌前仔细观察玫瑰.玫瑰的干得很直很直,有缝隙,那么厚,是几spinules也带来.这个瓶子绿色的叶子是中国橄榄形,也软也是薄、边缘变得锯齿,动脉是动脉分叉.这是一个开放的花芽的渴望,在芽期把它与迷人的迷人的年轻女孩,笑脸包含了春天,美丽的极.第二天一早,我发现玫瑰已绽开了笑脸,一个花小酒杯、花瓣略有有可能成为螺杆式分割开,可是没有看着里面stamen和雌蕊.玫瑰看起来漂亮和富有魅力,我轻轻贴近,深深地吸气!一个光迎鼻孔清香.玫瑰是蔷薇科植物,其祖先是一个everflowering玫瑰,后来都掺杂着野玫瑰,已经成为现在的玫瑰.虽然带着刺的玫瑰,但我同样我喜欢温柔而美丽宜人,芳香四溢的溢出玫瑰.

Since the implementation of reform and opening up policy in mainland China in 1978, changes in society, economy, ideology, humanities and even politics have never been seen in Chinese history. The economic environment, the educational environment, the values and the population distribution have changed greatly.

Since the implementation of reform and opening policy on the economy, China, economic development has made great progress, the gross national product (GDP) in less than 30 years, an increase of more than 25 times, the overall size of the economy has surpassed Germany, ranked third in the world (only in the United States and Japan). But at the same time, the two level of polarization between the rich and the poor is serious.

In todays China, though college education is more popular, the number of college students who have enrolled and graduated every year has increased significantly, but in fact, education is facing an unprecedented "commercialization" and "industrialization" crisis. The center of all peoples life begins to revolve around money and material. The traditional social morality and ethical values are no longer considered, even mocked and spurned. This brings great problems and crises in social security and family and marriage.

Now Chinese is also experiencing large population migration hitherto unknown, the so-called "three drift" phenomenon: one is a large number of rural population to Beijing, Tianjin and other places to move, two is to Shanghai as the center of the Yangtze River Delta is the three mobile, to Guangzhou as the center of the Pearl River Delta mobile.

In all aspects of the changes in China, the state has also changed its previous religious policies. The family church has provided a certain space for the development of domestic church, so the family church has also undergone great changes and development. The overseas magazine media reports that the Chinese family church is experiencing 7 changes and has its own characteristics in the model.

From the countryside to the city, this is the most remarkable and new change. Many urban family churches are showing vigor and rapid development with young, highly educated and energetic party. From coastal to inland, the more developed coastal family church tradition, the western missionaries and early activities in the area concerned. In many of Chinas inland areas, even among ethnic minorities, the spread of the gospel and the establishment of the church have been greatly developed.

From grassroots to multilevel, todays gospel is no longer a belief of civilians with a low educational level and at the grass-roots level of the society. It has become a research topic in many universities, and also a popular belief among college students, professors and white-collar workers. The urban churches, dominated by intellectuals, were set up in cities and grew rapidly. The integration of many "returnees" Christians also played an important role in the transformation and development of urban family churches.

From single to pluralistic, in the past, Chinese churches were basically single (non sectarian) in terms of sectarianism, and basically conservative in theological thoughts. Such a situation is changing. With the influx of various sects and theological ideas and ideas from abroad, Chinese family churches have also changed from single to pluralistic. From receiving to paying, when Chinese economy, especially the development of coastal economy, has developed, the believers of Chinese churches have made great progress in giving money and giving resources, especially in the Church of Wenzhou. The disaster relief in Sichuan has become a concentrated expression of the participation of Chinese family churches in social care and love.

From domestic to overseas, many families in the church is across the border, to neighboring countries sent missionaries to carry out the gospel mission. Although the number of people is still in the minority, "the gospel into China, the gospel out of China" is becoming the vision and mission of more and more Chinese believers. Among them, from Wenzhou and Fujian area due to emigration of Christians, or to do business overseas, and more enthusiasm into the construction conditions and the local Chinese Church and missionary.

From the close to the cooperation, in the past, because of the historical and political environment and many other reasons, the Chinese family churches are mostly not reciprocal. And now the situation is changing. Especially in the emerging churches in the city, facing the regional even national prayer meeting, and the camp and propaganda workers, there began to be cooperation between the churches. Cross system theological training, worker training, and so on, also appear more and more.

In the process of marching and developing to the city, the family church has formed a very typical model of development. The phenomenon of "series" and "parallel" is obvious. The so-called "series" refers to one or more full-time on his staff, led more than a dozen parties, forming a vertical type feed management mechanism; the so-called "parallel", refers to the different church between the "horizontal connection", or a church planting out many churches, the plain independently, but there is often a joint meeting between his staff, and the Ministry of cooperation.

The clergy have good cultural accomplishment, and the theology of equipment. Many people graduated from colleges and universities, give up very good career and personal future commitment to Gods call, with a strong sense of mission, and by many underground seminaries or network Seminary, accept the systematic theology of equipment. Some people even go back home after receiving theological equipment abroad, and the spiritual vision and theological attainment of the church personnel are greatly improved compared with the past.

管仲是我国古代有名的治国贤才，齐桓公不避前嫌重用管仲，把齐国治理得强盛起来，管仲还辅佐齐桓公成就了一代霸业。这一切，使得齐桓公十分关注有才干的人，他深知人才对于一个国家、一个国君来说是多么重要。他想，光有一个管仲还不行，还需要有更多的像管仲这样的人才行。于是齐桓公决心广纳贤才，他命人在宫廷外面燃起火炬，照得宫廷内外一片红红火火，一方面造成声势，一方面也便于日夜接待前来晋见的八方英才。然而，火炬燃了整整一年，人们经过这里时，除了发些议论或看看热闹外，并无人进宫求见。大臣们只是面面相觑，也不知是什么原因。

有一天，竟然来了一个乡下人在宫门口请求进去见齐桓公。

门官问乡下人：“你有何才干求见大王？”

乡下人回答说：“我能熟练地背诵算术口诀，我希望大王接见我。”

门官报告了齐桓公。齐桓公觉得十分好笑，背诵算术口诀算什么才能？于是让门官回复乡下人说：“念算术口诀的才能太浅陋了，怎么可以接受国君的召见呢？回去吧。”

乡下人不卑不亢地说：“听人们说，这里的火炬燃烧了整整一年了，却一直没有人前来求见，我想，这是因为大王雄才大略名扬天下，各地贤才敬重大王希望为大王出力，又深恐自己的才干远不及大王而不被接纳，因此不敢前来求见。今天我以念算术口诀的才能来求见大王，我这点本事的确算不了什么，可是如果大王能对我以礼相待，天下人知道了大王真心求才、礼贤下士的一片诚意，何愁那些有真才实学的能人不来呢？泰山就是因为不排斥一石一土，才有它的高大；江 海也因为不拒绝涓涓细流、广纳百川，才有它的深邃。古代那些圣明的君王，也要经常去向农夫樵夫请教，集思广益，才会使自己更加英明起来啊！”

齐桓公听了乡下人的这一番话，被深深打动，认为乡下人说得太有道理了，于是马上以隆重的礼节接见了他。这件事很快传开了，不到一个月时间，各地贤才纷纷前来，络绎不绝。齐桓公大为高兴。

一个统治者若真心求贤，就必须有诚意、礼贤下士，以宽广的胸怀接纳人才。

The Great Wall of China

The Great Wall of China is called the "Ten thousand Ii Great Wall" in Chinese. In fact, it s more than 6 000 kilometres long. It winds its way from west to east, across deserts, over mountains, through valleys till at last it reaches the sea. It is one of the wonders of the world.

The Great Wall has a history of over twenty centuries. The first part of it was built during the Spring and Autumn Period. During the Warring States Period, more walls were put up to defend the borders of the different kingdoms. It was during the Qin Dynasty that the kingdom of Qin united the dif ferent parts into one empire. To keep the enemy out of his empire, Emperor Qin Shi Huang had all the walls joined up. Thus, the Great Wall came into being.

The Great Wall is wide enough at the top for five horses or ten men to walk side by side. Along the wall are watchtowers, where soldiers used to keep watch. Fires were lit on the the towers as a warning when the enemy came.

It was very difficult to build such a wall in the ancient days without any modern machines. All the work was done by hand. Thousands of men died and were buried under the wall they built. The Great Wall was made not only of stone and earth, but of the flesh and blood of millions of men.

Today the Great Wall has become a place of interest not only to the Chinese but to people from all over the world. Many of them have come to know the famous Chinese saying: "He who does not reach the Great Wall is not a true man."

中国的长城

中国的万里长城被称为“万里长城”。事实上，它有6000多公里长。它蜿蜒地从西向东，穿过沙漠，越过高山，穿过山谷，直到最后到达大海。它是世界奇观之一。

长城有二十多个世纪的历史。它的第一部分是在春秋时期建造的。战国时期，有更多的城墙被用来保卫不同王国的边界。正是在秦朝，秦国把帝夫的发福部分统一为一个帝国。为了把敌人赶出他的帝国，秦始皇把所有的城墙连在一起。于是，长城诞生了。

长城的宽度足以让五匹马或十个人并排走。沿着墙的是瞭望塔，士兵们常常在那里守望。当敌人到来时，在塔上点燃了火作为警告。

在古代没有任何现代机器的情况下，很难建造这样一堵墙。所有的工作都是手工完成的。成千上万的人死了，被埋在他们建造的城墙下。长城不仅是由石头和泥土建成的，而且是几百万人的血肉所组成的。

今天，长城不仅对中国人，而且对来自世界各地的人都有兴趣。他们中的许多人都知道中国著名的谚语:“没有到达长城的人不是真正的人。”

根据1988年汇编的《中国地震简目》，中国历史上从周幽王开始到新中国成立前夕的2730年间，在可评定参数的地震记载中，共发生2289次破坏性地震。其中，属于大地震和特大地震级别的就有111次(其中19次在台湾)之多。在元、明、清、民国四个时段(公元1271-1949年)共计678年间，集中了历史记载和仪器纪录以来的中国历史上16次8级及8级以上的特大地震。

中华民族的先人对于地震这种自然灾害早就予以密切的关注，在浩如烟海的历史文献中，就蕴藏着大量的地震史料，其内容之丰富、时限之长远，在世界上是无与伦比的。在地震的观察和研究中，我们的祖先也做出了许多有益的贡献。

1.张衡与地动仪

东汉伟大的科学家张衡早在公元132年就创造了世界上第一架能指示地震方向的地震仪器——候风地动仪，开创了人类用仪器观察地震的历史。地动仪由青铜铸成，外表刻有篆文以及山、龟、鸟、兽等图形。仪器内部中央立着一根铜质都柱;仪体外部周围铸着八条龙，按东，南，西，北，东南，东北，西南，西北八个方向布列。龙头和内部信道中的发动机关相连，每个龙头嘴里衔有一粒小铜珠。地上对准龙嘴处，蹲着八个铜蟾蜍，昂着头，张着嘴。当某处发生地震，都柱便倒向那一方，触动牙机，使发生地震方向的龙张嘴吐出铜珠，落到铜蟾蜍嘴里，发出“当啷”声响，人们就知道哪个方向发生地震。

汉顺帝阳嘉三年十一月壬寅(公元134年12月13日)，地动仪的一个龙机突然发动，吐出了铜球，掉进了那个蟾蜍的嘴里。当时在京师(洛阳)的人们却丝毫没有感觉到地震的迹象，于是有人开始议论纷纷，责怪地动仪不灵验。没过几天，陇西(今甘肃省天水地区)有人快马来报，证实那里前几天确实发生了地震，于是人们开始对张衡的高超技术极为信服。陇西距洛阳有一千多里，地动仪标示无误，说明它的测震灵敏度是比较高的。

新中国成立后的1975年，我国也曾经成功地预报过当年的海城地震，避免了惨重的人员损失，这被称为20世纪地球科学史和世界科技史上的奇迹。但因为引发地震的机制十分复杂，地震短期预报特别是临震预报至今仍是世界难题。

2.趋势预估

海城大地震发生在1975年2月4日19点36分，强度是里氏7.3级。早在1970年，全国第一次地震工作会议，曾确定辽宁省沈阳一营口地区为全国地震工作重点监视区之一。1974年6月，国家地震局召开华北及渤海地区地震趋势会商会，提出渤海北部等地区一二年内有可能发生5一6级地震。不久，国务院就批转了国家地震局“关于华北及渤海地区地震形势的报告”。对7个省、市、自治区发布了地震中期预报。1975年1月下旬，辽宁省地震部门提出地震趋势意见，认为1975年上半年，或者l一2月，辽东半岛南端发生6级左右地震的可能性较大。与此同时，国家地震局也提出了辽宁南部可能孕育着一次较大地震。

3.时刻关注，积极防备

1974年6月国务院转发的中科院的69号文件中，锁定了几个可能发生地震的地区，京、津、唐、渤、张，“立足有震，提高警惕，防备六级以上地震的突然袭击……”

此后，营口地区不断出现地震前的征兆，当地的地震工作者一再推测和锁定大地震可能发生的时间。1975年1月，辽宁省革命委员会发布了地震情况通报：丹东、营口、旅大、盘锦地区有发生五六级地震的可能。

2月4日0点30分，辽宁省地震办公室根据2月1—3日营口、海城两县交界处出现的小震活动特征及宏观异常增加的情况，向全省发出了带有临震预报性质的第14期地震简报，提出小震后面有较大的地震，并于2月4日6点多向省政府提出了较明确的预报意见。4日10时30分，省政府向全省发出电话通知，并发布临震预报。

由于震前作出了中期预测和短临预报，省政府和震区各市、县采取了一系列应急防震措施;因而大大减少了人员伤亡;比如，营口县政府在震前采取四条应急预防措施：①城乡停止一切会议;②工业停产，商店停业，医院一般患者用战备车送回家，少数重病思者留在防震帐篷里就地治疗。城乡招待所、旅社要动员客人离开;③城乡文化娱乐场所停止活动;④各级组织采取切实措施做到人离屋、畜离圈，重要农机具转移到安全地方。上述防震措施得到了很好的贯彻，各街道、乡一方面用广播喇叭，另一方面派干部挨家挨户动员群众撤离危险房屋，有的还在露天放映电影，因而最大限度地减少了伤亡。如处于地震烈度9度区的大石桥镇，共有居民72000人，震时房屋倒塌67%，但只死亡21人，轻伤353人。再如，一个当地驻军，震前正同鞍山市春节慰问团举行军民联欢会，与会人员上千人，当接到紧急防震通知后，决定联欢会只讲话不演节目。结果人员刚刚撤离，地震就发生了，礼堂倒塌，只伤了一个最后离开的战士。

4.大胆推测

1975年2月3日，工作于中科院地球物理所的李志永在结束了对沈阳水库一个月的观测后，到营口探亲。2月4日早，营口发生了有感地震，出于“地震就是命令”的责任感，他赶到营口市科技局和地震办，参与工作。在对地震台源源不断报上来的数据绘制出图表后，他在2月4日中午作出了一个重要的推测，在2月4日晚12点左右可能会发生7级以上的大地震。

从2月1日开始，营口地震台地震仪的指针开始摆动，到2月3日，小震增强。2月4日凌晨，辽宁省革命委会地震办公室发布简报称，即将发生5级以上地震。2月4日早晨7点50分，一场4.8级的地震发生了。这场地震让李志永和近一个月在水库的观测结果以及6年前在邢台地震中所取得的重要经验联系起来。“可能因为我介绍是北京来的，还有我的工作单位等，他们都把我看成专家了。”李志永后来推测说。他把这一推测结果和图表往3位局长面前一摆，阐述了自己在邢台地震期间的经验和自己的一套推论：“现在形势非常紧急……”局长听完，就往市里走，下午市里有个关于地震的紧急会议，李志永的这个推论被在会议上传达，并通过街道办等基层组织传达给市民。许多人证实，在海城地震发生之前的那天下午，居民被通知，晚上可能有大地震，必须做好抗震准备，睡觉不能关灯锁门，有的地方甚至通知放映露天电影，建议居民不要进屋睡觉等。

下午的会议开完后，有群众打电话说有地气涌出地面，李志永和地震办的人驾车去看，在回头的路上，大地震就发生了，“我看见火球从地面上冒起，大地在不停地喷砂喷水，亲历这种场面和别人的描述感觉完全不同。”根据邢台地震中的经验，他初步判断地震级数为7.4级，并把数据提供给军方作为抢险救灾的依据。

海城大地震，震级7.3，震中烈度9度多，波及了6个市、10个县，却仅有1300多人死亡，占全地区人口的0.016%。在世界历史上成功地预报七级以上大震尚属首次。

Probably more food is consumed during the New Year celebrations than any other time of the year.

或许春节中食物的消耗比一年中其他时候都要大

Vast amounts of traditional food is prepared for family and friends, as well as those close to us who have died.

大量的传统食物被准备给家人和朋友,同样还有逝去的亲近的人

On New Years Day, the Chinese family will eat a vegetarian dish called jai.

在春节当天,中国家庭将吃一种蔬菜制的名为"jai"(春卷……大概)的食物

Although the various ingredients in jai are root vegetables or fibrous vegetables, many people attribute various superstitious aspects to them.

尽管春卷里的配料都只是根菜或粗纤维蔬菜，许多人还是把各种迷信方面的事归于它们

Other foods include a whole fish, to represent togetherness and abundance, and a chicken for prosperity.

用其他食物，包括一整条鱼，来代表团圆和富饶，或一只鸡来代表兴旺

The chicken must be presented with a head, tail and feet to symbolize completeness. Noodles should be uncut, as they represent long life.

这只鸡必须要有头有胃还有脚来象征完整。面则不能被切断，因为他们代表了长寿

In south China, the favorite and most typical dishes were nian gao, sweet steamed glutinous rice(糯米)pudding and zong zi (glutinous rice wrapped up in reed(芦苇)leaves), another popular delicacy.

在南方，最受喜爱和具代表性的食物是用甜糯米捏成的年糕，另一道受欢迎的美食是用芦苇包上糯米作成的粽子。

In the north, steamed-wheat bread (man tou) and small meat dumplings were the preferred food.

在北方，馒头和小甜饺是首选

The tremendous amount of food prepared at this time was meant to symbolize abundance and wealth for the household

这种时候准备巨量的食品是味了象征家庭的丰饶，富有。

人有意气，才能有豁达的胸襟。“惟江上之清风，与山间之明月，耳得之而为声，目遇之而成色”，苏子有意气，虽遭官场与文场一齐泼来的污水，但他仍意气风发，“侣鱼虾而友麋鹿”，心胸豁达可见一斑。“安能摧眉折腰事权贵，使我不得开心颜”，遭人诽谤的李白，被玄宗赐金放还，虽有昭昭若明星之德，日月齐辉之才，终化为泡影，但他仍意气风发，“举杯邀明月，对影成三人”，酒入愁肠三分酿成月亮，七分化为剑气，秀口一吐便是半个盛唐。若无意气，他怎会有如此豁达的胸襟?

人有意气，才能有千古留名，流芳百世，才能在国家危难之时挺身而出。几百年的风风雨雨，早已涤荡了风波亭的点点残血;几百年的潮起潮落，早已淹没了零丁洋里的声声叹息;几百年的猎猎西风，早已拂走了牧羊的老者;几百年的漫漫黄沙，早已淹没了西域路上的声声驼铃„„然而，岳武穆的满腔热血，文天祥的一颗丹心，苏武的一根竹杖，张骞的十几年牢狱之苦，早已映入史册，成为民族的精神瑰宝。若无意气，他们怎会有如此壮行?(2006年湖南省高考满分作文《谈意气》)

除了在上一例中提到的苏轼之外，这则材料中还用排比的手法写到了丹心谱就《正气歌》的南宋名将文天祥，忠心染出《满江红》的民族英雄岳飞，史称凿通西域,开拓丝绸之路第一人,中国第一位外交家,世界上第一位探险家张骞和“十年持汉节， 白雁上林飞”的中国历史上第一刚烈节义之士苏武。选择相似的事例运用排比的手法把他们组合在一起，既充沛了论证的气势，又充实了文章的内容，是近年来常见的也是很出色的用例之法，值得借鉴。在运用过程中需要特别注意的是选例的得当和语言的对称，不恰当的例子会混淆论点、影响论证的力度，而一旦为了形式而瞎拼硬凑，就走入了创作的误区，弄巧成拙了。

“马谡遭斩”不失为一个警示我们甭意气用事的教训。马谡自恃英明善战，但因一时意气用事而痛失街亭，最终，诸葛亮不得不挥泪斩马谡。

相对于“意气”一词的其他两个义项，意气用事要比较难写一些，因为它太容易流于平淡，当本文的作者却能从历史事件写起，以史为鉴，极具说服力。就以本则材料为例，作者用诸葛亮不得不挥泪斩马谡的悲剧警示世人不要意气用事，并由此将文章引入更深入的论证“怎样才能做到不意气用事呢”，用笔不多，收效蛮大。

需要指出的是，在诸葛亮挥泪斩马谡的这则史实，我们还可以分别从诸葛亮在选拔人才的过程中不经过严格的考察，贻误军机，造成不可挽回的损失(反面)以及他的公私分明，军纪严明(正面);马谡的不从实际出发，听不进良言劝告(反面)以及他的敢于承担责任等方面展开论述，从而支撑不同的论点。特别提醒，对材料的多角度运用是使用材料的一个重要方面，也是开拓思维的好方法。

本文选取“意气”一词的第二个义项“意志和气概”作为论述的对象，由毛主席在《沁园春.长沙》中的“书生意气，挥斥方遒”引入论述，既而由君而臣依次用刘邦、韩信和司马迁或正或反充分的阐释意气的涵义，但作者还没有就此而止，更深入一步，以女皇武则天为例，有理有据的写出了“这个女人，真可谓将意气二字发挥到了极致”。这样既丰富了文章的内容，更昭示了意气却不仅是男子的专利，更加全面的将意气的涵义论述到了极致。

【范文】Calligraphy is the essence of Chinese culture, which has developed into a special high-level art apart from satisfying the needs of daily writing. It has been flourishing for thousands of years in China. Shops with strong commercial atmosphere will gain some elegance if they are decorated with some quaint cultural calligraphic works. Sitting rooms, studies and bedrooms can be nice-looking with calligraphy works decorated. As a kind of art work, the writing of calligraphy is particular. The Chinese characters are written on Xuan paper which absorbs ink very well and then are mounted to hang on a wall. The calligraphy works are mostly a poem or a motto that the host of the room likes it much; if it is written by the host himself, it will demonstrate more his aspiration and interest as well as his talent.

望梅止渴

有一年夏天，曹操率领部队去讨伐张绣，天气热得出奇，骄阳似火，天上一丝云彩也没有，部队在弯弯曲曲的山道上行走，两边密密的树木和被阳光晒得滚烫的山石，让人透不过气来。到了中午时分，士兵的衣服都湿透了，行军的速度也慢下来，有几个体弱的士兵竟晕倒在路边。

曹操看行军的速度越来越慢，担心贻误战机，心里很是着急。可是，眼下几万人马连水都喝不上，又怎么能加快速度呢?他立刻叫来向导，悄悄问他：“这附近可有水源?”向导摇摇头说：“泉水在山谷的那一边，要绕道过去还有很远的路程。”曹操想了一下说，“不行，时间来不及。”他看了看前边的树林，沉思了一会儿，对向导说：“你什么也别说，我来想办法。”他知道此刻即使下命令要求部队加快速度也无济于事。脑筋一转，办法来了，他一夹马肚子，快速赶到队伍前面，用马鞭指着前方说：“士兵们，我知道前面有一大片梅林，那里的梅子又大又好吃，我们快点赶路，绕过这个山丘就到梅林了!”士兵们一听，仿佛已经吃到嘴里，精神大振，步伐不由得加快了许多。

悬梁刺股

东汉时候，有个人名叫孙敬，是著名的政治家。他年轻时勤奋好学，经常关起门，独自一人不停地读书。每天从早到晚读书，常常是废寝忘食。读书时间长，劳累了，还不休息。时间久了，疲倦得直打瞌睡。他怕影响自己的读书学习，就想出了一个特别的办法。古时候，男子的头发很长。他就找一根绳子，一头牢牢的绑在房梁上。当他读书疲劳时打盹了，头一低，绳子就会牵住头发，这样会把头皮扯痛了，马上就清醒了，再继续读书学习。

这就时孙敬悬梁的故事。

战国时期，有一个人名叫苏秦，也是出名的政治家。在年轻时，由于学问不多不深，曾到好多地方做事，都不受重视。回家后，家人对他也很冷淡，瞧不起他。这对他的刺激很大。所以，他下定决心，发奋读书。他常常读书到深夜，很疲倦，常打盹，直想睡觉。他也想出了一个方法，准备一把锥子，一打瞌睡，就用锥子往自己的大腿上刺一下。这样，猛然间感到疼痛，使自己清醒起来，再坚持读书。这就使苏秦"刺股"的故事。
