2014揭阳一模考试作文讲评

阅读下面的文字，根据要求作文。（60分）

在高三（1）班的主题班会上，张甲同学“要敢于选择人生的第二志愿，亮出人生的第二张名片”的发言引发了大家的争论。赞成者说：人生本来就是丰富多彩的，选择第二志愿，亮出第二张名片。实质上是对自己的一次再发现。反对者说：有志者事竟成，实现理想要孜孜以求，不能半途而废。还有人认为无所谓第一、第二，顺其自然，尽力就好。一时众说纷纭，莫衷一是。

你对此有何看法？请根据你对材料的理解，任选一个角度，写一篇文章。

要求：①明确立意，自定文体，自拟题目。②不少于800字。③不要套作，不得抄袭。

本题考查考生的能力主要有：

①对自然和社会的观察、思考能力及创造性思维；

②围绕中心选取材料、合理安排结构的能力；

③综合运用多种表达方式（记叙、描写、议论和抒情）的能力；

④调动语言知识积累的能力。

【写作提示】这是一段综述性材料。审题时，考生可以以“看法”为中心，从“赞成”“反对”“无所谓”三个方面发散思维，具体立意可以多向度展开。人生的选择不是唯一的。出于多种原因，人们往往将“第一志愿”的达成看作是成功人生的标志，有时明知不可而为之。其实，选择“第二志愿”同样可以成就精彩的人生，因为选择“第二志愿”的过程其实也是重新发现自己的过程。同理，不为“第一张名片”所累，在认真履行“第一张名片”所赋予的职责的同时，拥有展示自己个性风采的“第二张名片”，可以让自己的人生变得更加丰富多彩。写作时要把握好立意的“度”，注意展开辩证分析，避免片面化、绝对化。

【审题点拨】

这是一道“定向类材料作文”。说它“定向”，是因为本题材料中的三种观点，我们在写作文时，任选其中一种立意皆可。这也是一道“隐喻类材料作文”。对材料中的“志愿”和“名片”，构思时应化实为虚，由此及彼，“第二志愿”和“第二名片”在此段材料中是指我们学习、工作、生活的另一领域或人生新风景。

审题难度不高，但摆事实和讲道理注意辩证分析。行文时不要用一种观点否定另一种观点。如例文《懂得转身，也是一种智慧》，先指出人生选择多种多样，为“第一”不懈奋斗，当然“很好”，接着指出“如果实在走不通，选择‘第二志愿’，人生也许‘柳暗花明’”，辩证分析，使观点不至于偏颇。根据材料，可以有以下立意：①不同的追求，可以有同样的精彩；②找准自己的人生目标，活出精彩人生。

【存在问题】

1、审题不严谨，偏题作文较多。一部分同学行文时，断章取义，无视材料中的“第一”、“第二志愿”、“第二名片”这些关键词，诸如理想、变通、坚持、退路、执着追求、锲而不舍、第二计划、高考志愿、重新开始、海阔天空、有志者事竟成等立意，脱离材料，泛泛而写。

2、事实论据贫乏，以叙代论。如，林书豪、刘伟、乔布斯等人的例子在作文中多次出现，且与观点牵强。少部分同学的作文对例子缺少必要的分析，以叙代论。

（1）准确选例，确凿充分。选用的事实论据，要典型，有代表性，能够证明文章的观点。

（2）正确叙例，适当概括。议论文的目的在于阐明道理，要把重点放在说理方面。但有些同学在叙例时常常不厌其烦，讲得有头有尾，使议论文宛然一篇叙事文章，这样一来必然占去很多篇幅，留给议论分析的余地就很小了。

懂得转身，也是一种智慧

建始一中 胡邦蓉

人的一生，犹如无数个十字路口交织而成，这样或那样的选择满天飞。敢于选择“第二志愿”，学会转弯，其实，也是一种智慧。

每一个人，总有扎根于心底的，所谓的“第一理想”。不懈为之奋斗，不半途而废，当然好。可是，如果实在走不通，选择你的“第二志愿”，学会转弯，你的人生，也许将会出现别样的风采。

转弯，是如鲁迅的弃医从文；选择“第二志愿”，是如鲁迅的从医国人之身转而医国人之心。在那个纷繁动荡的年代，在那个黑白颠倒的时期，一个满怀着救国救民抱负的人，出现在时代的潮流中。怀揣着他的“第一理想”——强健国人体魄，踏上了征途。可是，在走这条路的过程中，愈发觉得走不通。于是，他勇于选择了他的“第二志愿”，用他那如匕首，如投枪的文字，去刺破时代的阴霾；用他灵敏的思想，去治愈国人精神上的创痛??于是，一代文学巨匠出现，一位思想家屹立于东方。因为他懂得了转弯，找到了人生的另一条路；因为他敢于选择了“第二志愿”，觅得了他真正所宜之地，才铸就了他辉煌的一生。

转弯，是如刘伟的从球到琴；选择“第二志愿”，是如刘伟的从一心学球到用脚练钢琴。刘伟，一个耳熟能详的名字。在别人展翅高飞之时，上帝却无情地束缚了他的双臂。幼时的他全心练球，只想靠足球来展示他的不凡，可是，一场车祸无情地夺去了他的双臂。成为足球明星的梦想瞬间化为泡影，内心的苦痛无人领会。在长时间的思考后，他决心用脚练琴，他选择了他的“第二志愿”，苦练多年，终于，他打造了他人生的巅峰，无臂的人也能活得不凡。他用灵魂、用生命演奏动人的乐曲，演绎了他辉煌的人生。因为他懂得转弯，不一路只走死胡同，他找到了属于他自己的交响乐；因为他勇于选择了“第二志愿”，没有为自己的“第一理想”徒尽心力，他找到了他人生的维也纳。

但是，选择“第二志愿”并不是指不坚定立场。对于一种东西，从未去尝试，便选择放弃，并转而奔向另一头，不是一种智慧，更不值得提倡；懂得转弯，也不是半途而废，从未努力过，便丢弃，更是一种愚昧。

人生本来就丰富多彩，选择“第二志愿”，也许是对自己的另一次发现；懂得转弯，也许，你的人生将会柳暗花明。

懂得转弯，也是一种智慧。

【点评】50分。文章紧扣观点，起承转合，结构严谨。用刘伟例来证明“上帝关闭一扇门的同时，也为你打开一扇窗”、“苦难是化妆的祝福”则是最好的例证，在本文略显牵强。

【优秀习作二】

别样的追求，同样的精彩

有一对孪生兄弟，哥哥名叫韩三平，他从四川大学毕业后进入四川峨眉电影制片厂，做了一名照明工。三十多摄氏度的高温让人热得汗水直流，他还要上上下下地调整灯光设备??他工作勤快，肯动脑，很快做了场记，之后，又由场记做到副导演、艺术中心主任、导演。他说，人生要勇于追求，不断地创造价值，这样才能彰显意义。

弟弟名叫韩三明，是个矿工，18岁便开始了挖煤生涯。他皮肤黝黑，长相普通，因为在影片《三峡好人》里扮演四处找媳妇的挖煤工而出了名。有人说，这回老韩可放了光了，他说，我不是演员那块料，

还是老老实实挖我的煤，一样能养家糊口。

韩三平执着于梦想并为之努力，终于从一名照明工做到导演，获得了成功；韩三明认为自己并不是当演员的那块料，于是抛弃意外而来的功名安于实际生活，老实挖煤，养家糊口，一样怡然自得。由此可见，别样的追求，同样的精彩，追求适合自己的生活是人生的智慧。

翻开历史的画卷，无数的先贤向我们走来，他们告诉我们淡泊也是一种美。

“误落尘网中，一去三十年”的陶渊明，也曾热衷于官场，想在仕途上一展自己的抱负。但是，他深知自己容忍不了官场的尔虞我诈，认清了自己不是当官的那块料，既没有官场人特有的圆滑与心计，也没有官场人那副奴颜媚骨，污浊的官场让他觉得自己是“羁鸟”，生活在“樊笼”里，于是，他便毅然辞官归隐，躬耕田园，享受到了“采菊东篱下”的悠然，享受到了“山气日夕佳”的美景，享受到了“不为五斗米折腰”的自由，享受到了“晨兴理荒秽，带月荷锄归”的怡然自得。

“且放白鹿青崖间”的李白，因诗名被皇帝召进宫中，侍候在皇帝左右，得到皇帝的恩宠，拥有功名利禄，荣华富贵，这是多少人的梦想啊。可是，在纷繁复杂的世界中，李白认清了自己，他深知自己这样下去，不过是供统治者享乐的御用文人。“大济苍生”成泡影，满腹经纶无所用。于是，他大吼一声“安能摧眉折腰事权贵，使我不得开心颜”，毅然离开了那个并不适合他的地方，以青山为伴，以白云为友，且歌且吟，怡然自得。

而放眼今朝，他们却用自己的生活告诉我们：执着于梦想并为之不懈努力，生命将如夏花般灿烂。 美国黑人总统奥巴马，从小就有当美国总统的梦想，但他出身于一个平凡家庭，既没有万贯家财，更没有显赫的家世，然而，他一直没有放弃自己的追求，面对竞选资金问题，他用网上集资的方法解决；面对种族歧视，他用自己的智慧、真诚与朴素去说服民众??终于，这个扛着“改变和希望”大旗的年轻政治家，打破了美国的惯例，从社区底层崛起为白人政治圈中的黑人领袖。他的人生因此而更夺目。

别样的追求，同样的精彩。只要你认清自己的目标，找到适合自己的生活，你的人生将精彩无限。

点评：本文是一篇中规中矩的典型议论文。文章先从故事出发，引出中心论点：别样的追求，同样的精彩，追求适合自己的生活是人生的智慧。然后借助陶渊明、李白、奥巴马等人的事例来论证，论据涉及古今中外，虽谈不上丰富，但仍较典型，具有说服力。此外，语言流畅自然，多种修辞手法综合运用，文采斐然。评52分。

【名家作品】

人生的第二志愿

毕 淑 敏

人们常常把所有的注意力，都集中在第一志愿。这些年，随着考试严酷性的不断升级，关于填报志愿的说法，也越来越霸道了———那就是，全力以赴关注你的第一志愿。某些大学的录取人员公开宣布，我们是不会录取第二志愿的学生的。因为你的热爱不够专一，录来也学不好的。

高考形势特殊，僧多粥少，对于学校的取舍，旁人不好议论是非。但我以为，如果把高考报志愿的经验推而广之，把第一志愿至上，扩散成人生选择的一大信条，就有商榷的必要了。

人生的选择绝少是唯一的。

听一位美国心理学家讲座，谈到男女青年挑选恋爱对象时，他说，如果你在读大学的时候，一眼扫去，本班级上的异姓，有三分之一以上可以成为你的配偶候选人，那么??讲到这里，台下发出汹涌的低语声，均说：“那他就是一个神经病！”

美国的心理学家抖抖肩膀说：“喏！那他或她，就是一个心理健康的人。”这观点有点好玩，也有点耸人听闻，是不是？当然，他指的寻找伴侣，是在大学校园内，智商和背景有大的相仿，并不能波

及整个社会，说某个男人觉得与世上三分之一的女人都可成眷属，才属正常。

但这一论点也可以说明，既然结为夫妻这样严重的问题，都不妨有一手或是几手打算，那么，在其他场合的选择，当有更大的弹性。

当孤注一掷地把自己的命运押在某个“唯一”头上的时候，我们实际上处于自我封闭和焦灼无序的状态。内心流淌的是自卑和虚弱。以为只有这狭窄的途径，才是抵达目的地的独木桥，无法设想在另外的情形下，还有道路尚可通行。

于是每当选择的关头，我们可以看到那么多鸵鸟似的奋不顾身，色厉内荏地跑跳着。到了没有退路的时候，就把小小的脑袋埋入沙丘。他们并不仅仅骗别人，首先的和更重要的，是用这种虚张的气势，为自己打气加力。

可惜世上的事情，不如愿者十有八九。当冰冷的结局出现时，很多人就像遇到雪崩的攀援者，一堕千丈。

此刻，你以前不经意间随手填写的第二志愿，就像保险绳一样，在你下坠的过程中，有力地拽住了你，还你一方风景。

第二志愿如同灰姑娘，龟缩在角落里，打扫尘埃，收拾残局，等待那不知何日才能莅临的金马车。

其实人的才能是多方面的，守节般的效忠第一志愿，愚蠢不说，更是浪费。

寻找第二志愿的过程，实质上是对自己的一次再发现。除了那最突出最显著的特点之外，我还有什么优长之处？第一志愿和第二志愿之间，可否像两位相得益彰的前锋，交互支援？我还有哪些潜藏着的特质，有待发掘和培养？平日疏忽的爱好，也许可在失落中渐渐显影。

第二志愿的考虑和填写，也许比第一志愿更取舍艰难。

不可搪塞第二志愿。它依旧是人生重要的选择，是你面对逆境的备份文件。它是进可以攻退可以守的支撑点，它是无惧无悔的屏障，它是一个终结和起跑的双重底线。

或许有人以为，有了第二志愿第三志愿??人就易颓败。这是一个谬论。亡命之徒不可取，它使人铤而走险，一旦失利，便是绝望与死寂。不妨想想杂技演员。有了保险绳的时候，他们的表演会无后顾之忧，更精妙绝伦。

在填写第一志愿的时候，把其后的每一份志愿也都认真地考虑，这是人生不屈不挠的法门之一。

A

When several people look at the same person, it is not unusual for each of them to see different things; when you are alone observing one behavior or a person at two different times, you may see different things. The followings are but some of the factors that lead to these varying perceptions(感知,认识):

(1) Each person’s perceptions of others are formed by his or her own cultural conditioning, education, and personal experiences.

(2) Sometimes perceptions differ because of what we choose to observe and how we deal with what’ve observed. It is not necessarily true that person perception is based on observations of a particular person. Your observations may be totally controlled by what others have told you about this person; or you may focus primarily on the situation or role relationship. Most people do not use the same standard to measure their parents, their friends, and strangers.

(3) Sometimes we see only what we want to see or don’t see what may be obvious to others because of our own needs, desires, or temporary emotional states. This is a process known as selective perception. Selective perception is obviously more difficult when contradictory information is what I saw was not shoplifting(入店行窃).” We can reduce the importance of the contradictory information ——“All kids get into mischief(顽皮). Taking a book from a bookstore isn’t such a big deal.” We can change the meaning of the contradictory information--- “It wasn’t shoplifting because he was going to pay for it later.”…

26. The first factor given by the author that affects our perception is _____.

A. our hearing and visual abilities

B. cultural background and personal experiences

C. the experience one learns from others

D. critical measures taken by other people

27. While observing a particular person,________.

A. one is likely to take all aspects into consideration

B. one pays more attention to his/her advantages

C. children often differ from grown-ups in perception

揭阳市20xx年高中毕业班高考第一次模拟考试英语试题 第3页 （共12页）

D. one tends to choose certain aspects to look at

28. Observation of the same person by two people at the same time may differ because _____.

A. they follow different standards

B. either of them may be slow to catch information

C. the time for observation is not long enough

D. each of them uses different language to express his/her impressions

29. The underlined word “stimulus” in Paragraph 4 refers to _____.

A. something attractive

B. selective perception

C. contradictory information

D. shoplifting

30. The worst thing in selective perception is that ______.

A. the information received runs against your desire

B. facts can be twisted or totally ignored

C. importance of the contradictory information can be overrated (估计过高)

D. misbehaved children may not be punished

B

One year our family decided to have a special celebration of Mother’s Day, as a token of appreciations for all the sacrifices that Mother had made for us. After breakfast we had arranged, as a surprise, to hire a car and take her for a beautiful drive in the country. Mother was rarely able to have a treat like that, because she was busy in the house nearly all the time.

But on the very morning of the day, we changed the plan a little, because it occurred to Father that it would be even better to take Mother fishing. As the car was hired and paid for, we might as well use it to drive up into the hills where the streams are. As Father said, if you just go driving without object, you have a sense of aimlessness, but if you are going to fish there is a definite purpose that heightens the enjoyment.

So we all felt it would be nicer for Mother to have a definite purpose . Father had just got a fishing rod the day before, which he said mother could use if she wanted to. Only Mother said she would much rather watch him fish than try to fish herself.

So we got her to make up a sandwich lunch in case we got hungry, though we were to come home again to a big festive dinner.

Well, when the car came to the door, it turned out that there was not as much space in it as we had supposed. It was plain that we couldn’t all get in.

Father said that he could just stay home and put in the time working in the garden. He said that there was a lot of rough dirty work that he could do, like digging a trench for the garbage, which would save hiring a man, and so he said that he’d stay home; he said that we were not to let the fact that he had not had a real holiday for three years stand in our way. He wanted us to go right ahead and not to mind him.

But of course we all felt that it would never do to let Father stay home, especially as we knew he would make trouble if he did. The two girls, Anne and Mary, would have stayed and helped the maid get dinner, only it seemed such a pity,for the two girls were eager to show their new hats on a lovely day like this. But they said that Mother had only to say the word and they’d gladly stay home and work. Will and I would have dropped out, but unfortunately we wouldn’t have been any use in preparing the dinner.

31. The author’s family decided to celebrate Mother’s Day specially to _______.

A. show love for their mother

B. show gratitude to their mother

C. show respect for their mother

D. to make up for a previous appointment

33.What problem did we find when the car arrived?

A. The car was too old to drive on mountain roads.

B. The car was larger than we expected.

C. The car was too small to accommodate us all.

D. The car was too plain looking.

34.Why didn’t the author drop out of the activity?

I was interested to read a newspaper article about a new concept in old people’s homes in France. The idea is simple, but revolutionary——combining a residential home for the elderly with a nursery school in the same building. The children and the residents eat lunch together and share activities. In the afternoons, the residents enjoy reading or telling stories to the children, and if a child is feeling sad or tired, there is always a kind lap to sit on and a cuddle(拥抱). There are trips out and birthday parties too.

The advantages are enormous for everyone concerned. The children are happy because they get a lot more individual attention, and respond well because someone has time for them. They see illness and death and learn to accept them. The residents are happy because they feel useful and needed. They are more active and more interested in life when the children are around and they take more interest in their appearance too.

Nowadays there is less and less contact between the old and the young. There are many reasons for this, including the breakdown of the extended family, working parents with no time to care for aging relations, families that have moved away, and smaller flats with no room for grandparents. But the result is the same——increasing numbers of children without grandparents and old people who have no contact with children. And more old people who are lonely and feel useless, along with more and more families with young children who desperately need more support. It’s a major problem in many societies.

That’s why intergenerational programmes, designed to bring the old and the young together, are growing in popularity all over the world. There are examples of successful attempts all over the world. Using young people to teach IT skills to older people is one obvious example. Using old people as volunteer assistants in schools is another, perhaps reading with children who need extra attention.

36. A nursery school is a place where _______.

A. future nurses are trained

B. the elderly live

C. children are taken care of

D. the old join in activities

37. Which is true according to the passage?

A. A number of assistants are employed to take care of the children.

B. The new concept benefits both the elderly and the children.

揭阳市20xx年高中毕业班高考第一次模拟考试英语试题 第6页 （共12页）

C. The children become stronger after getting more individual attention.

D. The children learn that sick people will die.

38. What is mainly talked about in Paragraph 3?

A. The reason why the old and the young are separated.

B. The support children need.

C. One reason why children don’t live with their grandparents.

D. The problem that the old and the young are separated.

39. What does the “intergenerational programmes” in Paragraph 4 refer to?

A. Combining elderly homes with nursery schools.

B. Letting the children and the residents eat together.

C. Asking young people to teach IT skills to older people.

D. Using old people as volunteer assistants in schools.

40. What is the best title for the passage?

A. Old people’s Homes in France

B. Building Bridges of Life

C. A Solution to the Elderly Problem

D. Children’s New Happy Life

As a group of young African immigrants struggle to adapt to life in the United States, an after-school drama program at White Oak Middle School aims to make their lives easier by first making them a little harder.

Project X is a program that uses drama, dance, poetry and other creative outlets to help students discuss the tough and sometimes painful problems they face as pre-teen immigrants with language barriers. A final unveiling of their creation will be performed for friends and family at the end of the year at Imagination Stage.

Wanjiru Kamau, coordinator of White Oak’s African Club said it’s important to give troubles to group members to help them find their place at the school. “It comforts those who are uncomfortable, and it discomforts those who are comfortable,” Kamau said of Project X.

Kamau teamed up with Imagination Stage after she noticed that many African students seemed uncomfortable talking about problems, such as being laughed at by their fellow students about how they look and talk. When most of the kids join the club, they speak little or no English, Kamau said. Each week, the club typically draws five to ten students who are originally from Africa for discussion sessions and the Project X programme.

“We are going to express ourselves through our words and our actions, and that’s powerful,” said teaching artist Meg Green as she introduced fill-in-the-blank poems the students wrote about their identities.

One student, Frank Ketchouang, 13, wrote, “I am from the world; I am love,” which drew oohs and aahs from the group. Ketchouang has been in the United States for less than a year, said Program Coordinator Chad Dike. When Ketchouang started attending Project X, he had been in the United States for two months and spoke no English. Now he’s one of the group’s most outgoing members and helps translate instructions from English to Creole for the group’s newest member, who is from Haiti.

Many people will give up when there’s a language barrier, “but these students prove them wrong”. Kamau said. “You do have something to give. You are important. When TV, media, etc. are bringing them down, this program is bringing them up.”

41. Project X is intended for helping the young African immigrants to_________.

A. get over language barriers

B. enrich after-school life

C. overcome tough problems

D. become more creative

42. How well the members learn in the Project X program is shown by_________.

A. their annual creative performances

B. their annual scores gained at school

C. the comments of friends and family

D. the comments of the program teachers

43. What do we know about the Imagination Stage?

A. It’s established by Kamau for Project X.

B. It’s a cooperative partner of White Oak’S African Club.

C. It’s a project designed by White Oak Middle School.

D. It’s operated once at the end of each year.

44. According to the author, what Franck Ketchouang wrote was______.

A. silly B. simple C. excellent D. contradictory

45. The passage is written mainly to_______.

A. introduce the Project X program

B. inspire immigrants to never give up

C. advocate White Oak’S African Club

D. call for more attention to immigrants

One day, while she was walking in the woods, a girl found two starving songbirds. She took them home and put them in a small cage. She cared them with love and the birds grew strong. Every morning they greeted her with a wonderful song. The girl felt great love for the birds.

One day the girl left the door to the cage open. The larger and stronger of the two birds flew from the cage. The girl was so frightened that he would fly away. As he flew close, she grasped him wildly. Her heart felt glad at her success in capturing him. Suddenly she felt the bird go limp. She opened her hand and stared in horror at the dead bird. Her desperate love had killed him.

She noticed the other bird moving back and forth on the edge of the cage. She could feel his great need for freedom. He needed to soar into the clear, blue sky. She lifted him from the cage and tossed him softly into the air. The bird circled once, twice, three times.

The girl watched delightedly at the bird's enjoyment. Her heart was no longer concerned with her loss. She wanted the bird to be happy. Suddenly the bird flew closer and landed softly on her shoulder. It sang the sweetest melody that she had ever heard.

even secretly read my diary.

To be honest,I am now suffering a lot from this.（主题句）Due to their excessive love,I don’t have many friends.As a girl of 18,I am not able to make my own decisions about many things.Though I can’t tolerate all this,I dare not speak up for I know this is all due to their deep love for me.

If I had the chance to talk with them about this,I would like to tell them that I can manage without their hovering over me!（假设）I’d like to say to them,“Please let go of释放 your anxiety.Give me some advice just when necessary,and for most of the time,let me think for myself.Your love should never be a burden on me.Love me,and let me fly with it.”
