阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。

Getting rid of dirt,in the opinion of most people,is a good thing.However,there is nothing fixed about attitudes to dirt.

In the early 16th century,people thought that dirt on the skin was a means to block out disease,as medical opinion had it that washing off dirt with hot water could open up the skin and let ills in.A particular danger was thought to lie in public baths.By 1538,the French king had closed the bath houses in his kingdom.So did the King of England in 1546.Thus began a long time when the rich and the poor in Europe lived with dirt in a friendly way.Henry Ⅳ,King of France,was famously dirty.Upon learning that a nobleman had taken a bath,the King ordered that,to avoid the attack of disease,the nobleman should not go out.

Though the belief in the merit(好处) of dirt was long-lived,dirt has no longer been regarded as a nice neighbor ever since the 18 century.Scientifically speaking,cleaning away dirt is good to health.Clean water supply and hand washing are practical means of preventing disease.Yet,it seems that standards of cleanliness have moved beyond science since World War Ⅱ.Advertisements repeatedly sell the idea: Clothes need to be whiter than white,cloths ever softer,surfaces to shine.Has the hate for dirt,however,gone too far?

Attitudes to dirt still differ hugely nowadays.Many first-time parents nervously try to warn their children off touching dirt,which might be responsible for the spread of disease.On the contrary,Mary Ruebush,an American immunologist(免疫学家),encourages children to play in the dirt to build up a strong immune system.And the latter(后者) position is gaining some ground.

What if he gets into trouble for making a mistake? "Ollie felt sorry for him." Yeah, and either way. I guess it's not really our money, "I said.

We both felt a sense of satisfaction just because of a small act of kindness.

上海高考英语题型训练: 写作 2020高三第一学期期末质量抽查 IV. Summary Writing (10 分) Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point (s)of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible. 松江 It goes without saying that the language spoken by the majority of British people has the same name as the language spoken by most citizens of the U.S.A. Nonetheless, quite apart from well-documented lexical (词汇的)differences - pavement/sidewalk, lift/elevator, etc. - there are still some words and phrases which can cause confusion and misunderstanding between speakers of the two different forms. That's why sonic people say that Great Britain and the United States are nations separated by a common language. There are practical reasons for this. When the first English settlers arrived in what we now call America, the language they spoke was naturally the same as that spoken by their compatriots (同胞)on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean. However, they immediately saw things which didn't exist in Europe, often items used and made by Native Americans, such as canoes and moccasins and creatures such as buffalo. They also picked up words which they heard being used by other European immigrants. The word "boss”,for example, was used by settlers from Holland in New York in the mid-17th century. It comes from the Dutch word "baas'" which means master. The word "cookie" also comes from the Dutch "koekje”. There are many words, phrases and even grammatical structures which are mistaken for Americanisms (美式英语用语)in Britain when they are nothing of the sort. Very often, they represent not an American import, but an original form of British English which has disappeared in Britain. The verbs "guess” meaning think and “loan” me aning lend and the adjective "mad" meaning angry are frequently criticized as Americanisms, yet they all appeared in British English hundreds of years ago. In the case of “loan”, it was used as long ago as 1,200 years! In fact, English spoken in the UK has changed so thoroughly in the last 500 years that American English now represents the last place where some original British English forms can be found. 参考答案:Although American English and British English are the same language, there are great differences. Two reasons account for the phenomenon. New words were created after the first English settlers in America saw new things and learned words from other Europeans. Additionally, some original expressions have been changed by British people while they are still being used by Americans. 崇明 Giving Thanks This is the season for taking the time to reflect on what we're thankful for in life. Spending that time with friends and family to give thanks is what makes the holidays so special. But why should we limit it to just a few weeks in the years? Gratitude is a

谈高三英语写作技巧培养 发表时间:2009-07-10T13:46:38.327Z 来源:《中学课程辅导●教学研究》2009年第4期供稿作者:马反修 [导读] 本文指出中学英语教学的实质,以及在教学中如何运用技能训练来演练英语写作,旨在为英语写作教学起到抛砖引玉作用。 谈高三英语写作技巧培养 马反修 摘要:本文指出中学英语教学的实质,以及在教学中如何运用技能训练来演练英语写作,旨在为英语写作教学起到抛砖引玉作用。 关键词:高三英语;写作;技能 作者简介:马反修,任教于河南省虞城县二高。 纵观近几年的英语高考试题,写作实际上是考查学生综合运用英语语言的能力。结合笔者的教学实践,就英语写作训练谈谈自己的一孔之见,以抛砖引玉。 一、勤读、多背好句和范文 “熟读唐诗三百首,不会写诗也会吟”,英语文章也是如此。要想写好一篇文章,没有充足的词汇量是不行的。课文中的俗语和谚语的识记是通过背诵来完成。背诵是语言学习的重要手段,也是语言学习的必经之路。 背词句。利用有限的时间,背诵课文中的重点句型和短语尤其是课文中的俗语和谚语和经典句子。 Eg. proverbs; No pains no gains. There is a will there is a way. All roads lead to Rome. It is no use crying over spilt milk. Useful structures It’s time for sth. /to do As far as sb. Know, It’s suggested / said /reported that… 背范文。将近几年高考中的作文和课文中好的段落以及报刊上的各种各样的体裁和优秀文章让学生背,数量至少要达到六十篇,这样学生才能在自己的脑子中形成一定的写作框架,做到心中有数。 多读书。为了培养学生用英语思维的定势,增加对英语国家文化、社会风俗习惯、风土人情、思维方式的了解,扩大视野,选择课外阅读,让学生学会分析、判断、猜测、推理和领悟。 二、亲自动手,自己写作 临渊羡鱼,不如退而结网。如果仅仅背了大量文章、佳句,不亲自动手写还是不行,世上没有一成不变的文章让你照搬。 循序渐进。“冰冻三尺,非一日之寒”英语写作能力并非是一蹴而就,它必须由浅入深,由简到繁,由易到难,循序渐进,一环紧扣一环地进行训练。教师应注重基本功训练,严格要求学生正确,工整,熟练地书写字母,单词和句子,同时注意大小写和标点符号。进行组词造句,组句成段练习时,要学生写出最简单的短句,为以后英语作文打好扎实的基础。如写“我的家庭”时,指导学生写出一简单句。There are three members in my family. My father, mother and me. My father is a worker. My mother is a teacher. I’m a student. They are both very busy all days, but they love me so much. I also love them. I often help them with housework..这种练习可以安排在刚开始的一轮复习中,要求学生能够用最基本的时态去完成写作。例如:Yesterday I called on my one of old friends .he was doing his homework. He said he would like to help me with my English. I was very happy at that time . we had a wonderful time.另外结合高中英语基础知识的复习,对学生提出较高写作能力的要求。复习American English一课时,可要求学生写出American English and British English之间的差别。 范例引路。学生在进行短文写作训练时,教师应提供各种文体的范文,讲明各种文体的写作要求和注意事项,如日记,便条,书信,通知的格式等,并给予必要的提示,并掌握各种体裁文章的格式。在平时的教学中,教师应该指导学生对付高考中各种体裁文章。 限时训练。训练写作时,教师当场发题,限时交卷。这样能促使学生瞬间接受信息, 快速理解信息,迅速表达信息,提高实际应用和应试能力。这一步是关键,也是学生的难关。这样做必须使学生明白高考书面表达题既不是汉译英,也不是可任意发挥的作文。它要求的是将所规定的材料内容经整理后,展开思维,考查学运用所学英语知识准确地表达意思的能力;必须要求学生在写作过程中牢牢记住以下口诀:“先读提示,要点与格式要弄清;时态语态要当心,前后呼应要一致;结构搭配,莫违背;文章写好细检查,点滴小错别忽视”。学生明确目的,并掌握要领后,要严格在规定时间内完成作业"训练的初级阶段。教师把时间放宽一点"随着学生写作能力增强,时间相应缩短,逐步做到30分钟内完成任务,不能养成拖拉的习惯。 多想精炼。在平时的教学中,教师要鼓励学生感悟生活,要求学生多看、多听、多想,用心体验和感悟身边的人和事,然后将自己的体验和感受用英语写出来。教师要求学生每周写两篇,有话则长,无话可短。上交,并反馈。同时把优秀的文章在班级“英语角”报上发表。对于他们在日记中所写的事情,用英语写下自己的评语,对不同水平的学生作不同的要求。或鼓励或表达自己的看法和体会。久而久之,学生的日记越来越长,语言也更通顺了。而且作业评语成了师生心心交流的桥梁。除了写日记外,有时笔者根据所学单元知识布置一篇作文,或不时给学生提供一些与时事或与学生学习活动和生活有关的材料。此类话题的现实性能诱发学生的写作兴趣,使其有话可写,有感而发;还能增强其信心,使其写作能力、技巧得到充分的锻炼和提高。对于优秀的学生,在表扬的同时要给予指正:Wonderful! You haven’t made any mistakes, but you should pay attention on your handwriting. 对于有待进步的学生需要给鼓励性的评语,激发他们的写作热情,增强他们的信心: If you try your best, you will be successful. 除了写日记外,有时笔者根据所学单元知识布置一篇作文或者不时给学生提供一些与学生学习活动和生活有关的材料。此类话题的现实性能诱发学生的写作兴趣,使他们有话可写,有感而发;还能增强信心,使他们的写作能力、

(完整word)高考英语概要写作2篇题目及答案

阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要(2017宁波模拟) Many Chinese students have studied English for approximately ten years, but most of them cannot even speak English correctly or fluently. In my opinion, there are several obstacles that have caused this to happen. The main obstacle is fear! Another is the habit of mentally translating from Chinese to English and then to change these thoughts into spoken words and sentences. Many of these difficulties are caused by the way Chinese people study and learn the language. We must learn to speak as a child does. When we are learning a second language we need to remember how we learned our native language. Learning to understand and speak a language is one of the first skills a child develops. How does a child learn the language? He listens for a time and then he tries to repeat the words. Parents give great praise for the smallest effort and slightest improvement. Therefore, the child develops courage and is excited about learning. It takes a long time before he knows anything about grammar, spelling or formal sentence structures. As for language teachers, they should avoid criticism and be very encouraging and generous with praise. Criticism or pointing out faults too often causes students to lose self-confidence and develop a fear of speaking. The best way to motivate a student is using praise. The most important aspect of speaking is having good self-esteem. Self-esteem is how you feel about yourself. When most Chinese people are asked how their English is, or they are told their English is very good, they immediately respond by saying, "Oh my English is very poor." If you say this to yourself often enough, you will believe it. When someone compliments(称赞)you, just say "thank you". __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ __________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________ 共()词

高中英语概要写作题型解读与技巧

概要写作题型解读与技巧 第一部分概要写作总体介绍 1.题型介绍 ◆选材特点 (1)所需阅读的短文词数在350以内; (2)所选材料体裁没有限制,以说明文、议论文和记叙文为主。 ◆评分参考 阅卷时主要考虑以下内容: (1)对原文要点的理解和呈现情况; (2)应用语法结构和词汇的准确性; (3)上下文的连贯性; (4)对各要点表达的独立性情况。 注意:理解准确,涵盖全部要求,完全使用自己的语言,准确使用相应的语法结构和词汇,得分相应比较高。相反,如果概要写作部分出现两句以上整句抄自原文现象,得分档次将会大大降低;所写内容与所提供内容无关不得分。 2考查能力 概要写作,简言之就是对所读过的文章简要概括,写出文章的中心大意,也可称之为摘要。写概要时,读者要是把文章的具体信息用一些具有概括功能的词和句表述出来,而不是抄袭文章的原句,更不是把细节性信息作为中心,而是要通过对文章中的单词、词组和句子进行合理转换,对文章的具体信息进行概括,再用合适的语言表述出来。这一题型主要考查学生对文章主旨大意的概括和准确获取关键词的能力,同时考查学生用简洁的语言概括文章重要信息的能力以及对文章整体结构的把握能力。因此,概要写作是基于阅读理解和书面表达,是二者的有机结合体,是阅读理解和书面表达的沟通桥梁。 第二部分概要写作步骤和方法 一.概括的写作步骤: 1. 确定主题句。确定阅读文章的主题句,一般在段首。没有主题句的需要自己组合。 2. 寻找关键词。分析主题句意义,确定关键词,关键词一般体现为名词、形容词,关键词的数目决定了概括的信息浓度。 3. 重构主题句。概括的主题句逻辑上要统摄后面所有的支撑句。可以从作者的写作目的逆推,反映写作目的主题句是高度抽象的,它基本决定了概括的质量。

新课程标准高考中英语写作能力的地位

新课程标准高考中英语写作能力的地位 发表时间:2009-07-17T15:38:21.890Z 来源:《中外教育研究》2009年第3期供稿作者:王金芳[导读] 本文拟就高考英语写作能力测试如何在形式、层级、内容等方面与《标准》的呼应进行探讨。新课程标准高考中英语写作能力的地位 王金芳河北省唐山市第八中学西校区 【摘要】高考英语对于高中英语教学具有很强的反拨作用,为了实现新课程标准中的写作能力培养目标,关键在于使高考英语写作能力测试在测试层次、测试形式、话题知识等方面与《普通高中英语课程标准(实验)》相呼应,从而实现高考英语写作能力测试的正向反拨作用,使高中英语写作教学沿着《普通高中英语课程标准(实验)》设立的目标前进。【关键词】写作能力测试课标呼应 【中图分类号】G632 【文献标识码】A 【文章编号】1006-9682(2009)03-0109-01 原高中英语教学大纲和考试说明把高中英语写作简单地定义为“100字或10句式的情景表达”(《修订大纲》,2001:7),提供情景的形式为图表、图画、提纲和短文。《普通高中英语课程标准(实验)》(2003年)(以下简称《标准》)对英语写作进行了重新要求,这个要求是对应于高中英语课程结构中的四个级别(六级、七级、八级、九级)的写作技能目标提出的,并就如何评价写作技能提出了相应的建议。高考是中学教学的指挥棒,对中学的教学影响有着巨大的反拨作用,在新课程改革日益深入的未来,要使《标准》中写作能力目标得以实现,改革现存高考英语写作能力测试,使之与新课程标准相呼应尤为关键,本文拟就高考英语写作能力测试如何在形式、层级、内容等方面与《标准》的呼应进行探讨。 一、写作能力测试层次的呼应 《标准》中的高中英语课程结构把高中英语课程结构分为六、七、八、九四个级别,每个级别都有与其相对应的写作能力目标。那么,高考英语最高应该测到哪一级写作技能目标呢?或者说,高考英语写作能力测试的最高标准是什么?这可以从分析《标准》中有关写作能力的要求和写作测试理论两方面得出结论。 根据《标准》的要求,高考英语对考生写作能力的要求应该达到八级写作技能目标,即:能根据所读文章进行转述或写摘要;能根据用文字及图表提供的信息写短文或报告;能写出语意连贯且结构完整的短文,叙述事情或表达观点和态度;能在写作中做到文体规范、语句通顺。因为在《标准》中的课程设计思路部分中明确提出,国家英语课程主张从小学三年级起开设英语课程,《标准》第二级为六年级结束时应达到的基本要求;第五级为九年级结束时应达到的基本要求;第七级为高中毕业的基本要求。尽管英语第6~8模块构成的八级属于选修课程,但是“所有学校应保证开设模块6~8”,可以看出,无论从课程开设要求,还是对高中的教学基本目标要求,第八级写作能力目标都是高中毕业生参加高考应该达到的基本要求,所以,从《标准》的要求方面看,八级写作技能目标应该是高考写作能力测试应该达到的目标。 根据J.B.Heaton 对写作能力测试级别的分类,八级写作技能目标在高考写作中也是比较合适的。作为高考考生主体的高中毕业生在英语水平上属于中级水平,高考也是中级水平的英语测试。Heaton在《英语测试》中,引用了某大型的英语测试机构的测试文件来描述中级英语写作能力测试的要求,根据这个文件,对中级水平的英语写作能力测试类型为:书信、日记、明信片、指导(guide)、说明(set of instruction);对中级写作能力标准的要求为:语法、词汇、拼写准确,虽有少数错误但不影响交际;字迹清楚、可认;使用一般性的语言进行清楚得体的表达;能使主题和论点进行有机联系(Accurate grammar, vocabulary and spelling, though possibly with some mistakes which don't destroy communication;handwriting generally legible;expression clear and appropriate, using a fair range of language;able to link themes and points coherently.)。《标准》中八级英语写作技能目标是把写作的文体类型和写作应该达到的标准综合起来进行描述的。把这个目标与Heaton 的描述进行比较,虽然在写作类型上略有不同,但在写作标准上大体一致。因此,根据国外考试理论,高考写作能力测试以《标准》中的八级目标为依据也是合理的。 高考英语考试写作能力测试的命题应该以八级写作目标为依据,在写作能力层次要求上,只能以八级写作能力目标为最高目标,而不能超出这个目标。如果高考对写作能力的要求高出这个目标,就可能导致中学英语写作教学脱离学生的认知水平实际、脱离教材的实际,求新求高,偏离《课标》。 二、写作测试形式的呼应 从写作能力测试的形式上来看,在目前的分省命题政策下,除少数省市以外(如2005年的湖南卷、上海卷),绝大多数省市高考英语试卷中对写作能力的测试都采取了短文改错和书面表达两种形式。这种写作能力考查形式自1991年出现至今,没有大的变动。在《标准》中,对终结性评价中的写作评价形式是这样建议的:短文写作(日记、小故事等);实用性写作(卡片、信件、说明、留言、填写表格等);图文信息转换(图表描述、信息解读、写配图说明);接续完成文段;写电子邮件等。对照《标准》中的建议写作测试形式,可以发现在高考英语写作能力测试部分呼应了《标准》的要求。如在现有的高考英语书面表达中,出现了日记、小故事等短文写作,也出现了留言、信件、说明等实用性写作,还出现了电子邮件写作。但是,对于图表描述、信息解读、写配图说明等图文信息转换、接续完成文段等写作能力考查形式,在现在的高考英语写作能力测试中很少得到使用。因为受传统习惯的影响,中国高考试题在使用过后很快就会流入社会,中学师生对于高考写作能力测试的形式非常熟悉,所以造成了高考测试形式的钝化,要使高考英语写作能力测试常考常新,并能全面考查考生的写作能力,在其考查形式上宜采用《标准》中的建议,既要使用短文写作、实用性写作等形式,又要适当使用图文信息转换,接续完成文段等形式。
