Love Your Life
热爱生活
Henry David Thoreau/享利.大卫.梭罗
However mean your life is,meet it and live it ;do not shun it and call it hard names.It is not so bad as you are.It looks poorest when you are richest.The fault-finder will find faults in paradise.Love your life,poor as it is.You may perhaps have some pleasant,thrilling,glorious hourss,even in a poor-house.The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the alms-house as brightly as from the rich man's abode;the snow melts before its door as early in the spring.I do not see but a quiet mind may live as contentedly there,and have as cheering thoughts,as in a palace.The town's poor seem to me often to live the most independent lives of any.May be they are simply great enough to receive without misgiving.Most think that they are above being supported by the town;but it often happens that they are not above supporting themselves by dishonest means.which should be more disreputable.Cultivate poverty like a garden herb,like sage.Do not trouble yourself much to get new things,whether clothes or friends,Turn the old,return to them.Things do not change;we change.Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts.
不论你的生活如何卑贱,你要面对它生活,不要躲避它,更别用恶言咒骂它.它不像你那样坏.你最富有的时候,倒是看似最穷.爱找缺点的人就是到天堂里也能找到缺点.你要爱你的生活,尽管它贫穷.甚至在一个济贫院里,你也还有愉快、高兴、光荣的时候.夕阳反射在济贫院的窗上,像身在富户人家窗上一样光亮；在那门前,积雪同在早春融化.我只看到,一个从容的人,在哪里也像在皇宫中一样,生活得心满意足而富有愉快的思想.城镇中的穷人,我看,倒往往是过着最独立不羁的生活.也许因为他们很伟大,所以受之无愧.大多数人以为他们是超然的,不靠城镇来支援他们；可是事实上他们是往往利用了不正当的手段来对付生活,他们是毫不超脱的,毋宁是不体面的.视贫穷如园中之花而像圣人一样耕植它吧!不要找新的花样,无论是新的朋友或新的衣服,来麻烦你自己.找旧的,回到那里去.万物不变,是我们在变.你的衣服可以卖掉,但要保留你的思想.
【答案】不唯一
Health
is
More
Important
than
Money
A
young
man
was
always
complaining
about
his
poverty.
However,
only
after
a
conversation
with
a
wise
old
man
did
he
realize
wealth
was
not
money
but
health.
I
definitely
approve
the
wise
old
man’s
idea
that
the
real
wealth
is
our
healthy
body
rather
than
enough
money.
My
reason
is
that
it
is
no
use
having
enough
money
if
we
have
no
health
body.
As
for
the
relationship
between
health
and
money,
in
my
opinion,
health
is
more
important
than
money.
Without
good
health,
it
is
impossible
to
do
whatever
you
want
to
do.
For
example,
supposing
you
are
handicapped
in
wheelchair,
even
if
you
have
a
big
sum
of
money,
you
can’t
still
travel
all
over
the
world
and
go
wherever
you
want
to
go.
As
a
result,
as
a
high
school
student,
not
only
should
we
be
concerned
about
our
study,
but
we
should
also
make
more
use
of
our
time
to
do
sports
and
do
more
body-buildings.
【答案解析】试题分析：概括原文的大意不是缩写，不能引用原文的语句，它也不是改写，不能把原句加以变形就完事；主要是概括和抽象，把具体的信息用一些具有高度概括功能的词和句表述出来。与原文某个或某些句子完全一致或大部分一致。有同学写摘要就从原文的开头部分、中间部分和结尾部分各抄一句，以为这就是“概要”，这种认识是错误的，这样的“概要”是得不了分的。
考点：提纲式作文。
点评：好作文应该是紧扣文章主题，遵循特定的文体格式，选用恰当的语言合理组织文章结构，内容统一、连贯，语法、拼写、标点正确，用词恰当。为了避免太多单词拼写错误，语法错误，不要为了追求词语的华丽而堆积一些自己也没把握的单词，不要刻意追求长句而写一些自己不知对错的有多个从句组成的长句。考试时最好选择自己最有把握的词汇，短语，句式。
支持:
Today, more and more English words find their way into the Chinese language. Even the Dictionary of Contemporary Chinese includes 239 English words. Some people support it while others do not.
Generally, I am in favour of the inclusion. As the number of English learners is on the rise, it’s not difficult for them to understand these words in Chinese contexts. Besides, it is, on some occasions, more convenient to use English words. Most people nowadays use “IT” instead of its translation “xinxi jishu.” In our global village, we can see that it’s not uncommon for one language to borrow words from other languages. In English, there are many words borrowed from Latin, French, or even Chinese. In fact, Chinese has never stopped taking words from other languages, say, “ganbu” or “minzhu” from Japanese.
So, it’s safe to conclude that it is reasonable to include English which facilitates daily communication.
反对:
With English words getting popular in both media and daily life, a Chinese dictionary has included 239 of them, leaving the public divided into two opposing groups: “For” and “Against.”
I tend to take the “Against” side for two reasons. Firstly, this inclusion has actually polluted our mother tongue. Sooner or later, many English accents will rise and fall with the four Chinese tones. And, rules don’t tell us how to pronounce such English-turned Chinese words as “wifi” and “Out” in a Chinese way! Secondly, such an inclusion may give rise to prejudices of the educated against those with little knowledge of English. Just for one illustration, while college students take “Bye-bye” for granted when parting from each other, it may unconsciously hurt the feelings of someone who is used to “zaijian.”
In short, not only has the inclusion poisoned Chinese, it may also bring about distance between the Chinese people.
试题分析：本书面表达是一篇议论文写作。今年江苏英语高考首次采用新题型，这也是2014年高考大纲中第一次出现。本书面表达的要求考生首先用30个单词概括所给的文字，然后再给出自己的评判。不管考生是赞成还是反对哪一观点，都要提供足够的理由或者论据。首先，概括部分考查了学生的概括能力，学生再概括的时候要注意语言的精炼性，要点要齐全。其次，阐述的理由或论据要简洁明了，层次分明。最后， 对自己的观点要作出总结。
【亮点说明】范文用了一些词组：如in favour of, on some occasions, it’s not uncommon for …, divide into, give rise to, take … for granted, be used to等等。注重句子的连接：如Besides, or, Firstly, Secondly, and, while, not only … but also …，句型上也是多变：With English words getting popular in both media and daily life, a Chinese dictionary has included 239 of them, leaving the public divided into two opposing groups: “For” and “Against.”这句话用了with的复合结构和非谓语动词作状语，In short, not only has the inclusion poisoned Chinese, it may also bring about distance between the Chinese people这句话运用了倒装结构等等。
