10、essay of about 400 words. You should supply an appropriate title for your essay. （分数：20.00）_正确答案：()解析：范文 Perspiration Is More Important than InspirationOne of the great physicists points out the relation between perspiration and inspiration by saying that “genius is 99% perspiration and 1% inspirati

11、on“. I do believe this opinion is true. As far as I am concerned, inspiration is only temporary and void, but hard work is indispensable as the basis of success. To start with, inspiration is often short-lived and cannot ensure success. A famous Chinese fable The Pity of Zhongyong records the story

12、of a child. Zhongyong is thought to be a genius when he is very little because in spite of his young age, he can write poems and essays even better than great writers and poets. Apparently, Zhongyong is highly gifted and blessed with inspiration. However, Zhongyong does not make good use of his tale

13、nt. He prides himself in the fact that he does not have to work hard to be better than others and gives up learning completely. A few years later, Zhongyong“s gift gradually fades and he becomes just as normal as others. This fable is an excellent example warning us that inspiration won“t last long.

14、 It has to be maintained through personal endeavor. If we do not cherish the inspiration and work hard, we will end up gaining nothing. Besides, hard work helps to realize inspiration and serves as the basis of success. While it is true that many successes start with a good idea, it should also be n

15、oted that what matters more is the hard work that follows in order to make the idea come true. Entrepreneurs who are just starting a business know this best. They may see a golden business opportunity in a flash, but this is far from enough. In order to seize the opportunity, they have to make detai

16、led plans, do feasibility studies, look for investments and decide locations before they can open up a business. After this, they still have to learn to do marketing, promotion and coordinate all sorts of relations of the stakeholders. Various problems will occur and they must be prepared to solve t

17、hem one by one. If you ask a successful businessman about the secret of success, he will always tell you that his success is not only brought by inspiration, but more importantly based on years of unremitting efforts he has devoted to his career. Without actual action, thoughts will remain thoughts,

18、 intangible and void. To conclude, inspiration may be important, but it is hard work that makes things happen. 本题属于“支持与反对型”论说文，涉及的题材是“品德修养”。该题要求考生就爱因斯坦的名言提出个人的看法。按照题目的要求。可谋篇布局如下： 开头：从爱因斯坦的名言入题，指出灵感可能是短暂且空洞的，而努力则是成功不可或缺的基础。 主体：分两方面阐述原因。 1灵感常常稍纵即逝，并不能保证成功。举中国著名的寓言故事“伤仲永”的例子来说明，如果我们不通过努力来珍惜灵感，最终我们会一无所得

19、 2努力能够帮助实现灵感，成为成功的基础。举创业者的成功例子。成功的生意人会说他的成功不仅仅来自灵感，更来源于年复一年的不懈努力。没有行动，念头永远只是遥不可及的念头。 结尾：重申观点，灵感固然重要，但努力才是实现一切的根源。2.Two Tragedies in Life人生中的两种悲剧 George Bernard Shaw once wrote, “There are two tragedies in life. One is to lose your heart“s desire. The other is to gain it.“ To what extent do you agre

20、e or disagree with his statement? Write an essay of about 400 words. You should supply an appropriate title for your essay. （分数：20.00）_正确答案：()解析：范文 Ever Wanting, Ever WalkingGeorge Bernard Shaw wrote, “There are two tragedies in life. One is to lose your heart“s desire. The other is to gain it.“ I a

21、gree with what he said, especially the latter part of the statement. Gaining your heart“s desire is even more of a dreadful tragedy than losing it. When what you wish for falls into your possession, you may grow dependent upon the possession since it is got by your own persistent endeavours. You mig

22、ht take it as an indispensable part of your life and might even unconsciously turn on the “fear of losing“losing those that once bestowed the stage of joy and excitement on you. You become so attached to your belongings that you dread the thought of losing it every minute of every day. Besides, such

23、 dependence might also come from the fear to be back to square one because you might have to experience the same difficulties you“ve ever confronted again. Furthermore, once you obtain what you“ve been yearning for, it could be difficult to retrieve your original interest in it. It is determined by

24、human nature that we tend to be amused with the new and bored with the old. We are a forgetful race who needs constant reminding“ to treasure what we have, especially those easily acquired. We take it for granted and leave it high and dry, until it is replaced by a new found pleasure. The worst scen

25、ario imaginable is to lose the motivation to keep going after acquiring something wanted. Seeing the finish line ahead, we can gather the strength to hang in there and keep walking. With the goal accomplished, we might slack off and even get disoriented. Take the story in Shawshank Redemption for ex

26、ample. Since the day a prisoner was thrown into jail, his only desire was to breathe the air outside the high walls again. He woke up every day with the hope of getting his parole application approved. He behaved himself; he picked up a new hobby; he even began learning Bible. In a word, he was a mo

27、del convict. Twenty such years had passed when his appeal finally won permission from the parole committee. But two days after his release, he collapsed and committed suicide. This story vividly echoes the Bernard“s quotationgaining what you desire might be a tragedy in your life. Basing on the abov

28、e discussion, it is not exaggerated to say that gaining might turn into a tragedy in life. The progress of human history is driven by ongoing desires. It“s because of the fear of losing direction that we keep adding new desires, toward which we are ever walking. 本题属于“支持与反对型”论说文，涉及的题材是“品德修养”。题目要求考生就“

29、在多大程度上赞成或反对萧伯纳的名言”提出个人的看法。按照题目的要求，可谋篇布局如下： 开头：提出个人观点：同意萧伯纳的名言，尤其是后半部分。 主体：分两方面阐述原因。 1当你得到渴望的事物，你可能会对这个所有物产生依赖。会害怕失去和害怕重新再来。 2人们一旦得到所想之物，就难以找回曾经对它的渴望了，因为人的本质倾向于喜新厌旧。 3得到想要的东西后，我们可能会失去继续走下去的动力。引述电影肖申克的救赎里面的例子。 结尾：我们要不断设立目标，朝着我们想要得到的东西不停不歇地走下去。3.Can Chinese Ancient Classics Improve Our Morality?国学经典能否提

30、升我们的道德水平? Guo Xue, or the studies of Chinese ancient civilization, including philosophy, history, archaeology, literature, linguistics, etc, is thought to be the cure for the moral decline in the modern Chinese society. That is why some experts suggest the Chinese ancient classic literature, such as

31、 the Three-Character Classic and the Book of Rites, should be incorporated into the national curriculum as a compulsory course. What is your opinion? Do you think the Chinese classic literature is the possible answers to today“s moral problems? Wrote an essay of about 400 words. You should supply an

32、 appropriate title for your essay. （分数：20.00）_正确答案：()解析：范文 In Books We Find Morality?It is an instructive approach to integrate the teaching of ancient books into the national curriculum. Nevertheless, it is not the ultimate solution to our existing moral decline. In fact, I don“t think there is any

33、 simple or straightforward answer to such issue that results from years of accumulated wrongs. To begin with, ancient classics are only a formalistic method that beats around the bush. With the spoon-feeding teaching methodology, students might only be able to grasp the literal meaning of ancient cl

34、assics but not their cultural and moral significance. Besides, when a course is stipulated as compulsory, examinations are absolutely inescapable. To live up to the score-oriented expectations of teachers and parents, students will be too engaged in memorizing lines word for word to digest their con

35、notations, which takes us back to square, oneour twisted purpose of education. Furthermore, the fundamental solution to the twisted education in China lies in educators themselves. One of the chief causes of today“s moral problems is the fact that teachers are busy imparting knowledge to students wi

36、thout educating them in terms of moral conducts. By confusing the means of education with the end, we have produced morally-decayed talents. Educators should regard ancient classics as a teaching aid to guide students through history to present-day stories. An emphasis should be placed not only upon

37、 students“ understanding of the scripts, but more importantly on how they incorporate their learning into everyday behaviors. In this case, teachers act as a role model as well as a guide in leading students onto the right path of life. Finally, it is no doubt that we can find all sorts of moral sta

38、ndards in these ancient classics, but does reciting all the classics necessarily produce a saint? As we all know, young children learn about the world by watching and following the behaviors of those around them, rather than following the fictional character in the books they read. A good deed in re

39、al life is worth millions of moral teaching in the paper. The making of a righteous man starts from family upbringing. In order to make a convincing case, parents should set an example for children by their own actions. Little by little, children“s values, beliefs and conducts will be imperceptibly

40、influenced and internalized. As the essence of our five thousand years of history and culture, ancient classics should take up an indispensable part in our education. But we should keep in mind that they are the source of knowledge and means of teaching, but never the absolute answer to today“s mora

41、l problems. 本题属于“表达看法型”论说文，涉及的题材是“品德修养”。题目要求考生就“诵读国学古书能否改善当代社会的道德问题”提出个人意见。按照题目的要求，可谋篇布局如下： 开头：指出古籍不是解决道德问题的万全之策，需要多方的努力。 主体：分三方面阐述原因。 1古籍只是一种隔靴搔痒的形式手段。我国填鸭式教育模式会使学生只顾死记硬背古籍，不领会其内在的涵义。 2现行教育方法往往是只教书不育人，把教育的手段和目的混为一谈，培养出了人品不过关的“人才”。3在现实生活的一件好事比书中的大道理更能教育孩子。父母的言传身教更能塑造孩子的道德情操。 结尾：重申观点，古籍是知识的来源、教学的手段，而

42、不一定能达到教育的目的。4.Personality Cultivation in University大学的人格培养 As a fourth-year student about to graduate from a university, you have been through many courses and activities.

44、ation is composed of two aspects, the teaching of professional knowledge and the cultivation of personality. However, the latter is often deficient or problematic in Chinese universities. In my opinion, there are three aspects to be improved so that students“ personality can be better cultivated. Fi

45、rst and foremost, college counselors should play a better role as a listener and instructor to guide students onto the right path. Generally speaking, a counselor is the only teacher who supervises students throughout their four years of college. Naturally, he/she is the one most students turn to in

46、 times of trouble or confusion. With great influence comes great responsibility. It is thus the counselor“s duty to act as a good teacher by setting a good example, as well as a helpful friend by lending an empathetic ear.

Unfortunately, personality d
