20##届高考英语考前作文必备范文
请根据以下提示，结合学习中的一个事例，谈谈你对这句话的理解，用英语写一篇短文。
It is known to all that it is diligence that makes up for the deficiency. ( 勤能补拙 )
Diligence
makes up for the deficiency, which means that hard work can compensate for weaknesses. To my way of thinking, diligence is of great importance to our study and work.
Take Tong Dizhou, the famous Chinese biologist, for example. It was when he was 17 that he attended the middle school. Poor as he was in Math, he didn’t give up, because he held the belief that diligence makes up for the deficiency. Determined to catch up with his classmates, he got up early to read. Only after he reviewed what he learned in the daytime did he go to bed. At length, he became a world famous biologist. From his experience, it is safe to say it’s diligence that really makes a difference.
In a nutshell, diligence, which can make up fo
r the deficiency, is not only a positive attitude towards life but also a reliable way to guide us toward success. So, everybody, be diligent and your efforts will pay off.
随着高考的临近，许多高三学生觉得时间紧、任务重，所以把课间10分钟休息时间也利用起来学习。请你以 “the Necessity of Taking a Ten-minute Break"为主题，用英语写一篇短文，针对这一现象谈一谈自己的观点和做法。
In our modern society, competition is becoming increasingly fierce. Therefore, many students are forced to work much harder with great pressure without having a good rest, which contributes to tiredness and low efficiency.
Take one of my experiences for example. Once I didn’t do well in my study. In order to keep up with my classmates, I often studied deep into the night. However, I was sleepy in class and still didn’t make progress. Seeing this, my head teacher had a talk with me. He suggested that I shouldn’t stay up but ensure enough rest, listen carefully and pay attention to improving my study method. He encouraged me to ask my teachers for help whenever I had any problems. With the head teacher’s help, I studied efficiently and made great progress.
Just as a famous saying goes, all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy. In my opinion, no one can concentrate on his study without a good rest. What really counts is that we should learn to combine study with rest. Only if we combine study and rest effectively can we study more efficiently.
请根据以下提示，并结合事例，用英语写一篇短文。
Difficulties arise in the lives of us all． What is most important is dealing with the hard times, coping with the changes, and getting through to the other side where the sun is still shining just for you．
There is no denying that difficulties arise in the lives of us all. But what really counts is how we deal with the difficulties to succeed．
Three years ago, when I began my senior high school study, I found it extremely difficult to learn English well because there were so many new words and grammar rules to keep in mind． Har
d as I might try, I still did poorly in the English exams． It was the hardest time in my life and I nearly lost heart and decided to give up when my mother found my problem． She encouraged me that it took a strong person to deal with tough times and if I chose to keep on and I would be a strong person and on the way to success． In order to prove myself, I worked even harder than ever． Gradually I began to catch up with the other students in my class． At the end of term I got the highest mark in English．
So if we want to meet the shinning sun on the other side of the difficulties, we should first take great courage to overcome them and then enjoy the joy of success．
请根据以下提示，结合你的生活，就在青年中开展志愿者活动这一话题,用英语写一篇短文。
Volunteers believe that some of the happiest people in the world are those who help to bring happiness to others.
In recent years, the volunteering spirit has spread among the Chinese people, especially among youngsters.
Volunteering actions are of tremendous benefits to both those in need and the society. Olympic Games are a good example. As is known to all, volunteers played an active role in Beijing Olympic Games. Without them, it would be a tough task to hold this unprecedented Olympic Games. Therefore, we can say that it was those volunteers who ensured the success of these games.
As the students of high schools, we should get actively involved in volunteering activities. By participating, we can learn how to work well in a team, how to improve our interpersonal skills and organizational ability. Undoubtedly, all of these are critical for our person growth. So we should take this chance to learn and to grow.
请根据以下提示，并结合事例，用英语写一篇短文。
If you can’t do what you like, then you should do
what you like.
Years of school life have taught me a lot of things, of which what I value most is that we should develop an interest in what we are bound to do, even if it’s not where our interest lies.
There was a time when I dislike English. For one thing, I was annoyed that I simply kept forgetting those English words that I tried to remember. Besides, I couldn’t figure out the English grammar. As a result, I tried to keep myself away from it, which led to the fact that I did poorly in English. Later, I got to understand that English is becoming more and more important with the development of our society. What’s more, we must have a good command of it if we are to enter our dream university. Anyhow, I began to develop an interest in it and have been making steady progress.
From the experience I’ve learned that we shouldn’t give up in the face of difficulty. Instead, we should meet life’s challenges and think of ways to improve ourselves.
请根据以下提示，并结合事例，用英语写一篇短文。
It is universally acknowledged that people cannot succeed or achieve their targets without a strong will and persistence．No one can deny the fact that persistence is the key point in accomplishing one' s task．Strong will is a kind of good quality which successful people should own．
Nothing Succeeds Without a Strong Will
It is universally acknowledged that people cannot succeed or achieve their targets without a strong will and persistence. One of the most typical examples is that in the present-day society, a growing number of people give up or fail to quit smoking just because of their poor willpower during the process. A variety of factors may account for this phenomenon as follows.
For one thing, no one can deny the fact that persistence is the key point in accomplish
ing one’s task. It is of importance for people to stick to their original aim. A great number of dragsters would stop smoking a couple of days after they have made their determination, but only a few of them may succeed in the end. For another, the people who cannot quit smoking may easily be affected by his circumstance and surroundings. In that case, people tend to fail to resist various temptations around them.
From what has been discussed above, we may safely come to the conclusion that only by concentrating on the object and strong self-discipline can we obtain our goals successfully in the future.
请根据以下提示，结合你生活中的一个事例，用英语写一篇短文。
Failure is annoying, but what failure can teach us may never be taught in other ways．
No one can ever achieve any success without failure as failure can usually help us learn what our strengths and weaknesses are.
When I was in Junior High School, most of my teachers and students thought it better to study science, saying that it promised a better future. I tried to follow this trend despite the fact that I was not good at Physics. It was only two months later, when I failed an extremely important Phy
sics exam, that I realized my talent lay in subjects like Chinese, English as well as History. I switched for arts immediately.
The following years witnessed my excellent school performance then. So failure is not as terrible as we have expected as long as we can learn something from it.
请根据以下提示，结合学校生活，就逃课的后果这个话题，用英语写一篇短文。
With the new term around the corner, some people roughly calculated the cost of skipping class, which added up to as much as 282 yuan per day.
The calculation and the result remind us that, as a student, on no account can we skip class, or we will pay a heavy price fo
r our behavior.
There does exist the fact that a small part of students turn a deaf ear to the rules and regulations of the school, ending up cutting class, followed by the consequences mentioned below. To begin with, their lessons will be left behind, thus having a slim chance to catch up with others. In addition, there is no denying that skipping class is equal to wasting time. Lastly, their behavior can’t live up to their parents’ and teachers’ expectations. Therefore, bear it in mind that you should never skip class.
请根据以下提示，以My Understanding of Happiness为标题，用英语写一篇短文。
The understanding of happiness varies from person to person．Material basis doesn’t necessarily equal happiness．How to enhance（提升）the sense happiness is of vital importance.
My Understanding of Happiness
Having the sense of happiness is of great significan
ce. As a vital factor of life, it brings us power, arouses our enthusiasm for loving life, and helps us create a promising future.
In addition to material basis, the sense of happiness also refers to several other aspects. Firstly, based on a recent survey, the majority of individuals admit that they are no longer content with being fed and clothed adequately, and their happiness depends more on their success in careers, friendship and love. Secondly, a great many people claim that health is the key to their sense of happiness. It is health that enables them to build up a solid foundation for anything significant.
As a student, I am convinced that never can money equal happiness. To enhance our sense of happiness, we should advocate and encourage our friends and classmates to enrich their knowledge, broaden their horizon and cultivate their ability.

012年CCTV播入的纪录片《舌尖上的中国》（A Bite of China）红遍大江南北。掠过的镜头向我们展现了如此诱人又如此熟悉的家乡味道。请根据以下提示，并结合事例，用英语写一篇短文。
“No matter how far you go, no matter who you become, you will still have a taste for the food you grew up with.”
Recently, the TV program A Bite of China has attracted much attention. Its celebration of the diversity of delicious local food around China reminds me of the food in my hometown.
Many people complain that life changes too fast. But I believe that there is one thing that never escapes us, the taste for the food we grew up with. I grew up in a family of three generations under one roof. Living together with dozens of your relatives proved to be great fun. My grandma would tell us all those amazing ancient stories while making sticky rice cakes in the shape of lovely animals for us. My uncle, who works at a local restaurant featuring fish specialties, would bring back some of his best dishes back home to share with the family. I have traveled to other places in China, but ne
ver have I tasted better fish than my uncle’s.
In my opinion, A Bite of China is about more than merely food. The program tells people about the real China. As a nation of food lovers, we are drawn to the series by the impressive-looking food, but we are even more impressed by the human interests in it – the love of the food, of our hometowns and of our mother country.
请根据以下提示，并结合生活学习实际，用英语写一篇短文。
You cannot control what happens to you, but you can control your attitude towards what happens to you, and in that, you will be mastering change rather than letting it master you.
I still remember the day when I got the lowest score in a physics exam and was laughed at by some classmates. Discouraged as I felt at that time, I made up my mind not to lose face again. Instead of distraction, I became active in class and did extra exercises out of class. Whenever I had difficulties, I overcame my shyness and turned to my teacher and my classmates for help. Finally I was able to improve my physics a lot, which increased my confidence so much that I took greater interest in study and worked harder than before. After some time, I became one of the top students in my class.
My experience tells me that it is not what has happened to us, but how we react to it that matters. When something happens, the only thing in our power is our attitude towards it.
你能理解别人吗，你能与人和谐相处吗？请就Understanding这一话题，用英语写一篇短文，使你对友谊、亲情或师生情谊有更深的了解。抒发真情，用词恰当，语言流畅。
A
Understanding is a bridge between teachers and students.
Once I copied my deskmate’s paper during an exam and handed it in. The next day, my teacher told the whole class about it. I lost face. I hated the teacher.
Days later, the teacher had a heart-to-heart talk with me. He said he could understand that I would like to be good. But to be good should depend on hard work. From then on, with his help, I became so interested in study that I made great progress.
I think understanding is an important part of our life. Understanding can make us successful. With understanding, the world will become warmer and warmer. Knowing that, I understand my teacher better. If I make something successful in the future, my teacher will be the first one who I should first thank.
B
As you know, where there is understanding, there is a way. Mutual understanding without doubt plays a key role in making friends, communication, even the international cooperation. Sure, it not only brings harmony to the world, but also is a bridge that paves the way for everyone to step into the society.
However, teenagers often think it impossible to make their parents and teachers to understand them. The reasons are not hard to find. On the one hand, teenagers have an appetite for fashionable things and excitement. In their eyes, their parents and teachers are too rigid to follow the times. On the other hand, their parents and teachers, growing in a completely different tradition, have a negative opinion of young people's behaviour.
Personally, first, both should acknowledge their differences. After all, everyone is unique in the world. Second, it is necessary to learn to be a little more tolerant. Only so can they find the beauty in others.
请阅读下面一则短信（message）:
中国人在食品里完成了化学教育。从大米里认识了石蜡；从火腿里认识了敌敌畏；从咸鸭蛋、辣椒里认识了苏丹红；从银耳、蜜枣里认识了硫磺。今天三鹿奶粉又让中国人知道了三聚氰胺（melamine）……
食品安全（food safety）已经给中国人的健康敲响了警钟，谈谈你的认识。
词数：100左右。
From 
the message mentioned above, we can see that food safety has gradually drawn people’s attention.
Why do the immoral phenomena happen so frequently in China? Driven by profits, some illegal businessmen add poisonous stuff like melamine to food regardless of people’s health and safety. What they do has violated laws and regulations. Additionally, some relevant departments fail to supervise them effectively
……Actually, only a small number of manufacturers have been fined, giving rise to such terrible events as listed in the above message.
In my opinion, apart from profits, manufacturers should bear some social responsibilities. Meanwhile, government should spare no efforts to regulate the market of food and laws must be passed to limit and regulate the food safety. Solving the problem needs the joint efforts of the whole society. Only in this way can we prevent the tough, disturbing problems from happening again.
假设你参加所在年级的英文写作比赛，请按如下要求完成一篇短文：
1. 简要描述下图内容，并点明主题；
2. 针对图中人物的观点谈谈你的看法。
What we can see in this picture is a small town, far away from cities.
In general, there are fewer job opportunities in small towns. Therefore, young people in the small town are eager to leave for big cities for jobs, like the guy in the picture.
In my opinion, it is quite understandable. But I hold the view that young people should stay at their hometown. For one thing, they can spend more time with their family. For another, they can contribute to the development of their hometown, because without their efforts, the small town will stay behind forever. Moreover, I'm convinced that young people will be paid off in return if they put their heart in the development of the hometown.
近日，多家媒体报道了湖北应城男孩王某“痴网10年，身染重病”的消息，在社会上引起了广泛关注。我校就此举行题为“网吧的危害（Harmful Influence of Cyber Bars）”的征文活动。请根据下图写一篇英语短文，描述图中的内容，并就其反映的现象发表评论和提出解决方案。
提示：
The report about the net-potato has caused extensive concern recently.
The report about the net-potato has caused extensive concern recently.
As we can see in the picture, a father is anxiously looking for his son addicted to online games. It seems that he has great trouble finding the boy because the street is full of cyber bars and he hardly knows in which one his son is enjoying games.
Nowadays, more and more cyber bars are being opened under cover of improving intelligence. In reality, these are places where large numbers of teenagers run into online chat or games and can rarely be pulled out. In my opinion, serious measures should be taken to reduce the number of cyber bars as well as to help teenagers develop some other hobbies which do them good.
下图中描绘的是现在有许多学生不想通过努力，只想依赖网络完成作业的现象。请你根据对该图的理解，用英语写一篇短文。
注意：
1. 简单描述一下该图的内容。
2. 分析导致这种现象的原因及可能带来的影响。
As is shown in the picture, in front of a computer happily sits a teenager, attempting to work on his homework with no efforts, only by searching the Internet for the answers. It does show us that our life has been greatly influenced and changed by the Internet.
On the one hand, with the touch of a button or the click of a mouse, we can acquire what we want from the Internet. On the other hand, as has been shown in the picture, while computers are helping students finish the academic jobs, they are also killing the students' creative thinking and exploration spirit. One effect of this keyboard dependence is that the young, nowadays, even can seldom spell correctly, so let alone the improvement of their learning capacity and skills.
In my view, while enjoying the conveniences of the Internet, we should learn how to handle the problems it has caused. Only in this way will the benefits of the Internet outweigh its problems.

Give Them a Free Hand!
In this picture, the girl is riding a bicycle, with her father running on the right, her mother with a medicine case running on the left, and her grandmother watching her worriedly. Both her parents give hands to help her, though out of breath. I think this is a true reflection of the Chinese society. In each family, there is usually one child, so he becomes the center of the family. His parents, even grandparents do everything for him. So when the child grows to a certain age, and when he knows he should do something, he may ask like the one in the picture, “Could you let me ride all alone？”
In my opinion, parents should give their children enough room to live by themselves. Only when their children can live all by themselves can they be the true owners of the country tomorrow. Please give them a free hand!
请按如下要求完成一篇短文。
1．简要描述下图内容，并点明主题；
2．联系实际，表达该图带给你的启示。
注意： 词数不少于120。
In the picture, two fat goats are tied to each other with a short rope. They both see some grass in front of them, and try hard to pull to get their own food in opposite directions. They are unsuccessful, because the length of the rope is too limited to allow either of them to eat the food at the same time.
The picture is trying to tell us that cooperation is better than conflicts. Both of the goats want their food at the same time, which has formed a conflict between them. However, if they decide to cooperate and eat the grass on the left first, and then the grass on the right, they will both be able to get what they want. Thus things will turn into a “winwin” situation.
We human beings sometimes act as foolishly as the goats, each focusing on his own benefits ahead and neglecting cooperation. We should remember that our goal is not that we get something and others get nothing, but that all people get what they want. Cooperation will benefit everyone.
在日常生活中，人们对于体育锻炼所持的观点各不相同，请你以“Health means wealth”为题写一篇不少于120词的短文，号召人们坚持健康积极的生活方式：每天锻炼一小时,健康工作五十年，幸福生活一辈子。
注意：1．适当想象发挥，不能逐句翻译：2．至少要有两个不同的观点或态度。
Health means wealth
People hold the belief that if they are 
healthy, they will have everything．Some of the young and middle-aged spend their holiday
s playing cards on online games, believing that they are healthy and there is no need for them to do sports．Some of them even continue to make more money, which means everything to them．
As far as I am concerned, I don’t think what some of the people do in their spare time is right．Games and money cannot bring us real happiness and wealth．Health is the most important thing for us and it can help us to do something that we want to do．We should all remember: exercise one hour a day, healthy work in fifty years, a happy life for life．

请根据以下提示，并结合生活学习实际，用英语写一篇短文。
Some students prefer to study alone. Others prefer to study with a group of students. Which do you prefer? Now, write an article based on two or three specific reasons and examples supporting your answer.
Students have many different ways to study. Some prefer to study alone whereas others prefer to study in a group. Personally, I have a preference for studying alone because it keeps me focused, saves precious time and helps me to cultivate the ability of independent thinking. When studying alone, I can be more concentrated because I’m in a peaceful study environment. Furthermore, studying alone can 
save my time. Working with other students, I will have to discuss with them, or I might be regarded as unfriendly, which, undoubtedly, will waste my time. So comparatively speaking, studying alone proves better to me.
In addition, I can cultivate my independent thinking by studying alone. In a group, on the other hand, I might relay on others, By and by, I will become quite dependent, and such dependency may be harmful to my further development.
All in all, I think studying alone is an excellent way to help me study better as well as the best way for me to become an independent person.
请根据以下提示，结合自己的学习生活，就如何缓解压力这一话题，用英语写一篇短
文，谈谈自己的建议或做法。
Nowadays students study hard and they are always under a lot of pressure. It’s necessary for them to have some ways to ease stress and minds.
Pressure is a common serious problem nowadays. Many students in our class worry about their exams.
Much pressure as we have from our studies, we need a relaxation after heavy work to renew our energy. Furthermore, burying ourselves all day under piles of books is not the only way to study.
I’m always under pressure, too. My parents expect me 
to go to a key university. One evening, I had a talk with my mother. I told her I was not lazy and I really felt tired. I needed time to relax. My mother agreed with me at last.
So I think a conversation with parents or teachers or good friends is an essential way to solve the problem. Besides, we can listen to music after class or we can even cry or shout in the open in order to refresh ourselves.
去年日本大地震不但导致核电厂爆炸，而且还在中国掀起了一场人们抢购食盐的浪潮。请你针对人们抢购食盐这一现象，用英语按以下要求为你们校报写一篇120词左右的短文。标题自拟，不计入总词数。
1．描述以上有关地震和人们抢购食盐的情况；
2．分析抢购的原因(如听信谣言、缺乏常识，……)；
3．简短表述你对这一事件的看法。
参考词汇：iodized salt碘盐；panic buying 抢购；rumour 谣言
No Need for Panic Buying
Last year, a major earthquake hit Japan，which not only led to the explosion in a nuclear power plant, but also a wave of buying salt in China.
Why did people rush to buy salt? One reason is that many people believed rumors that iodized salt could prevent the hurt of radiation. As a result, they rushed to buy salt. Other people worried about an increase of price so they followed. Another reason is the lack of common sense among the public. As we know, it is not helpful enough to guard against radiation even by taking larger amounts of salt than usual.
So in my opinion, panic buying of salt is absolutely unnecessary.
20##年9月10 日《21世纪报》 刊登了中国适龄儿童上学的调查结果（见下图）。 请根据图表及提示,为你校校刊的 “English Corner” 写一篇报道。 内容包括：
1． 图中所反映的情况。
2． 发生这些变化的原因。
1）1986年中国决定到20##年在全国普及九年义务教育。
2）学校增多，尤其是在乡村。
3. 你期望到20##年会是怎样的情况。
注意： 1. 开头已为你写好（不计入总词数）
2． 词数100 左右。参考词汇：九年义务教育：nine years of compulsory education
The 21st Century, a newspaper, published a report on Sept. 10th on school-age children attending school in China.
As is shown in the bar graph, the number of school age children attending school increased a lot between 1985 and 2002. In 1985, the percentage was just over 95.5%, but it rose in the five years that followed to about 98.5% in 1995. After that, the number continued to increase and by 2002, 99% of children were attending school.
These changes happened not only because, in 1986, the government introduced a law stating that by the year 20## every Chinese child would have nine years of compulsory education, but also because more schools were built especially in the countryside.
Therefore, I dare to say, from this tendency that the percentage of school age children attending school will climb to 100% by 2010.
请你根据以下提示, 用英语写一篇短文, 谈谈你对过度表扬或滥用表扬的看法。
It is widely acknowledged that everyone including God likes to hear praise. Praise is like the sun which can warm up one’s heart. Praise is like the star which can lighten up the darkness. Praise is also like fire which can melt ice. It is true that praise can make people feel happy and comfortable. However, any abuse of praise, in many people’s opinion, will do harm to the receiver.
I look upon praise as sunlight to the human spirit. Praise helps us recognize our strong points, thus adding to our self-confidence.
But while I admit the advantages of praise, I wouldn’t set aside the disadvantages of abusing it. Too much praise does harm to one’s development. If we want to improve ourselves, we have to know our shortcomings and get rid of them. Gett
ing excessive praise, we are likely to focus only on our strengths and may feel too proud of ourselves to ignore our weaknesses.
In a word, only proper praise does good to our development. Please don’t abuse praise.
