Here, I’d like to share my thoughts on its positive effect as well as negative one. The most obvious advantage lies in the wide choice of courses. Learners can have access to the courses tailored for personal needs regardless of time and space. As a result, learning occurs in such an efficient way that gaining knowledge is easier than ever. The downside is just as noticeable. Along with individualized courses, the Internet presents half-truths that puzzle the young minds where self-control and judging power are still forming. Therefore, I strongly suggest that the use of the Internet should be under supervision of adults. And parents and teachers should provide guidance to ensure it best serves the mental and physical growth of the teens. 【导语】本篇书面表达属于应用文。要求考生应学校校报的邀请投稿，就“网络对教育的影响”谈谈自己的看法 【详解】1.词汇积累 转换：transform → turn 积极的：positive→ active 困惑：puzzle→ confuse 建议：suggest→ advise 2.句式拓展 简单句变复合句 原句：The Internet has transformed the world into a global village, altering all aspects of our life, especially education. 拓展句：The Internet has transformed the world into a global village, which is altering all aspects of our life, especially education. 【点睛】【高分句型1】Along with individualized courses, the Internet presents half-truths that puzzle the young minds where self-control and judging power are still forming.（运用了关系代词that、关系副词where引导的定语从句） 【高分句型2】Therefore, I strongly suggest that the use of the Internet should be under supervision of adults.（运用了that引导宾语从句） 2．近年来，随着科技发展，电子产品越来越多，学生的汉字书写能力大大降低。假定你是校书法协会（Calligraphy Association）的会长，为了让同学们重视书写，写一封倡议书，内容包括： 1. 减少对电子产品 (electronic products) 的依赖，多动手记笔记； 2. 养成练书法和写日记的习惯。 注意: 1. 词数100左右； 2. 可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 3. 信的开头和结尾已经给出，不计入词数。 Hello, everyone, _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Calligraphy Association 【答案】Hello, everyone, With the development of technology, more and more students prefer to use electronic products for taking notes and sending messages, rather than write on the paper.

Even so, the little money I received was difficult to support my life. I was not able to buy a car for myself or travel even when I had some free time. After continuing this cycle of work for years, I finally decided to give up and take up the job of a joker (小丑) who does silly things to make others laugh. I don’t know why I chose to be a joker. The pay was very low, but at least the work was less than before. I wondered how this job would be any different from the last job. Once I was called to go to a hospital and put up a show for the little kids who were admitted for weeks in this hospital. I didn’t want to go that day, but I had to pay my bills. There were beautiful roses outside the hospital gate, but I was in no mood to enjoy them. Upon reaching the hospital, I dressed myself up as a joker in the restroom and was on my way to the stage when I saw a kid in a wheelchair staring at me with bright eyes. He was a beautiful boy who was suffering from cancer. He looked so pale and weak that I could feel the pain he was going through. The smile on his face made me realize that I must do my best to give this kid some comfort during his sufferings. The nurse took the kid to his seat in a big room together with many other kids. I walked up to the stage and began to show my tricks. I put my heart into the show more than anything else I had ever done. As a result, I was able to make the kids laugh loudly and happily, and they all were enjoying the show. The smiling faces of these happy children battling with their lives gave new energy to me. Paragraph 1: After that day, my performance as a joker her and more and more popular. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: I decided to pay him a visit once again. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】范文 Paragraph 1: After that day, my performance as a joker became more and more popular. I was called to various shows so that I paid all my debts. And I even bought a very expensive car for myself within a year. My life developed well just like the roses which grew outside the hospital gate. All of this happened because of that boy in the wheelchair. It was the smile on his face that day that gave me the courage to ignore the daily worries and face the problems in my life in a positive manner. Paragraph 2: I decided to pay him a visit once again. On a summer morning, I visited the hospital with some toys and beautiful flowers for the boy. Seeing him in his room, I said, “You look much better.” “Thank you. I remember you, Mr. Joker,” the boy said joyfully. “Your performance that day really inspired me. It is the best one I have ever seen in my life.” Hearing his words, I felt even prouder.

She practiced over and over again in order to regain her dancing skills. “Hi, Mary,” in rushed her friend Jessica.“How is your arm?

I am the next one!” Mary nodded in reply but felt uncomfortable, “This is just my competitor.

Paragraph 2: Hearing her name called, Mary walked on the stage with her heart beating faster and faster. She kept reminding herself, “I have been practicing for so long, and I will certainly make it.” But the serious pain in her arm came again when she was performing the most difficult spin.

Linda was so grateful to Mary, and finished her dancing successfully. Paragraph 2: Hearing her name called, Mary walked on the stage with her heart beating faster and faster.

In the 1980s, when I was teaching at a high school in the western United States, I met a student named Daniel. He was a great kid from a tough neighborhood. Drugs, fighting and poverty: You name the problem and his neighborhood must have it. His parents ran a small farm. They were busy all day and night and had no time to take his studies and hobbies into account. A scholarship fund provided his tuition to Catholic High, where he was a great baseball player. Daniel struggled in the classroom, though. He was bright, but just left behind due to a difficult home environment. After school tutoring seemed impossible because of baseball practice. Some suggested Daniel give up sports and concentrate on study. But, in reality, if he was going to attend college he would need his sports; so to miss practice and then perform any less than at his best on the field was not wise. Daniel had a gentle personality and studied very hard. He got along well with his classmates in class, He respected his teachers, who were very concerned about his study. A fellow teacher, Mrs. Jones, offered to tutor Daniel in math at her home. I asked Daniel to come to my house for other subjects. No one paid us. Mrs. Jones summed it up this way: “Pay day doesn’t always come on Mondays, When we were not working with Daniel to improve his skills for the ACT (American College Test), the coach and Daniel’s dad took him to various colleges to talk with both baseball and football program coaches, He chose the college that offered him scholarships to play both sports.

Daniel came in and lifted me out of the seat behind my desk, held me around in the air, and yelled over and over, “I’m going to college! I’m going to college!” Hearing his words, I were so moved that tears ran down my face. “I guess you got your scores!” I asked excitedly. “Well, yeah!” he laughed. “And guess what? I got one point more than I need to be admitted. One point extra. Thank you! Now, where’s Mrs. Jones? I’ve got to tell her too!” I had never quite understood what the expression “Pay day doesn’t always come on Mondays” meant. But it was clear to me the instant Daniel ran into the room to announce his news. No amount of money could ever replace my joy when I heard the good news that a boy finally had a chance at a better life. 【导语】本文以人物为线索展开，讲述了Daniel是个好孩子，但无奈出生不好，为此Daniel努力学习，老师们也帮助他提高成绩。最终Daniel取得了上大学的分数，非常感谢作者。 【详解】1.段落续写： ①由第一段首句内容“他们花了几个月的时间才收到ACT考试的结果。”可知，第一段可描写Daniel拿到考试结果。 ②由第二段首句内容“‘我想你拿到分数中！’我兴奋地叫道。”可知，第二段可描写Daniel告知老师自己的分数以及作者的感悟。 2.续写线索：收到结果——Daniel得知分数——Daniel感谢——作者感悟 3.词汇激活 行为类 走进来：come in/ get in 叫喊：yell/ shout 宣布：announce / declare 情绪类 感动：moved / touched 快乐：joy / happiness 【点睛】[高分句型1] Hearing his words, I were so moved that tears ran down my face.

But during the five years’ labor, I found myself burning calories running about only for a tip. I had had enough so I moved to a smaller town hoping to pursue a college degree. I promised I would never serve people again - at least not in such way. It was time to serve myself. Luckily, I received a position as an afterschool program tutor at a local middle school, with the added benefit of completing English education degree. I had the opportunity to go big! The kid would need me - a role model and a trustworthy friend, I believed. But my first day was welcomed by the students’ indifference (冷漠). The desks were messy and the whole room smelled of dirty gym socks. My excitement began to die down. I doubted whether the new job was a mistake. The playground activity was deafening while homework time was not much better. After my repeated persistence, they finally turned off the playground mode. But just a few minutes passed when I noticed two kids quarreling in the corner. I supposed it was another little incident but one kid named Jeremy bothered me. He shouted at me for coming at him. And when I asked them to return to their seats, he slammed (用力摔) his backpack and grew mad as I tried to urge him to take the right attitude. “I don’t like you, homework and this afterschool program! All you guys do is yell at me. I’m never coming back.” he walked out of the classroom, slamming the door. Naturally, I was so frustrated (挫败的). I wondered why I am here. Most kids disrespected me! I paused to take a deep breath. Then suddenly I thought to myself, “You said you would never serve people again, but you don’t understand what these kids really need.” At that moment, I remembered my middle-school life. I always had a poor attitude, never did my schoolwork, repeatedly got into fights, and disrespected my elders. 注意： 1. 续写词数应为150左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Realizing I was not different, I walked out into the hall and caught up with Jeremy. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ At that moment, my heart broke for this boy and his family life. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【答案】Realizing I was not different, I walked out into the hall and caught up with Jeremy. “I’m sorry, Jeremy. Could I have a talk with you?” I said, trying to be calm and sincere. He turned around, looked at me for a moment and nodded, “OK”. “Jeremy, could you tell me what have happened to you?” I asked. Hesitantly, Jeremy began to share with me about his story. From what he said, I knew his mother was killed in a car accident three months before. Worse still, his father, who was in deep sorrow, lost his job at the same time. After that, his father became bad-tempered and often shouted at him, ignoring all his requests. As he told me what was happening, he began to cry. At that moment, my heart broke for this boy and his family life. I gently hugged him and patted him on the back. Then I walked him home and encouraged him to face life in a positive way. After that, I often chatted with Jeremy and helped him deal with his troubles. I even paid a visit to his father several times. As time went by, Jeremy behaved better and better and smiles often appeared on his face. At the end of the program, Jeremy hugged me tightly and thanked me again and again. At that moment, I suddenly realized what it meant to serve --- Get to know a person from the bottom of your heart and give what he needs. 【导语】本文以作者的经历为线索展开。作者高中毕业后，去做了一名服务员。五年之后，作者去一所中学担当了一个课外活动的老师。在第一堂课上，作者遇见了一个非常暴躁的学生—Jeremy。作者和Jeremy了解他的情况，了解了他悲惨的家庭生活。之后作者一直帮助Jeremy，并取得了成功。通过自己的经历，作者明白了为他人服务的真谛。 【详解】1.段落续写：①由第一段首句内容“意识到我没有什么不一样，我走出去进入大厅，赶上了Jeremy。”可知，第一段可描写作者和Jeremy聊天，了解他的情况的过程。 ②由第二段首句内容“在那一刻，我为这个男孩和他的家庭生活心碎了。”可知，第二段可描写作者帮助Jeremy，鼓励他，并且最终获得成功的故事。 2. 续写线索：询问情况——Jeremy讲述家庭情况——了解情况——鼓励帮助——Jeremy转变——感悟 3.词汇激活： 行为类①一谈话：talk with sb. / chat with sb. / have a conversation  ②同意：nod/agree    情绪类① 感谢：showing his appreciation/show his gratitude/be grateful  ② 积极：positive attitude/act positively 【点睛】[高分句型1]I said, trying to be calm and sincere.（现在分词作状语） [高分句型2] Worse still, his father, who was in deep sorrow, lost his job at the same time.（由关系代词who引导非限制性定语从句） [高分句型3] I suddenly realized what it meant to serve.（what引导的宾语从句） ( 1 )原创精品资源学科网独家享有版权，侵权必究！ 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$ Unit2 Improving Yourself写作提高训练 - 2024-2025学年高二英语专项提高训练必刷好题 （外研版2019选择性必修第二册） 一、书信写作 1．假定你是李华，当今网络已经把世界变成了真正的“地球村”，你应学校校报的邀请投稿，就“网络对教育的影响”谈谈你的看法。内容包括： 1. 网络对教育的影响（利与弊）； 2. 你的建议。 注意：1. 写作词数应为80左右； 2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 Influences of the Internet on Education ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2．近年来，随着科技发展，电子产品越来越多，学生的汉字书写能力大大降低。假定你是校书法协会（Calligraphy Association）的会长，为了让同学们重视书写，写一封倡议书，内容包括： 1. 减少对电子产品 (electronic products) 的依赖，多动手记笔记； 2. 养成练书法和写日记的习惯。 注意: 1. 词数100左右； 2. 可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 3. 信的开头和结尾已经给出，不计入词数。 Hello, everyone, _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Calligraphy Association 3．假设你是李华，你校英文报正在举办有关因特网的征文活动，请根据下列要求，结合自身经历写一篇短文，提出你对如何使用因特网的看法。 要求：1. 因特网虽然给我们带来了很多便利，但我们要限制使用因特网的时间； 2. 因特网的不利影响及我们的做法。 注意：1. 词数80左右； 2. 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 4．假设你是李华，你和你班同学李江打篮球时因为碰撞而发生争执，导致关系紧张。请你结合此事，并根据以下提示，用英语写一篇短文，并向校英文报“Happy Teens”专栏投稿。 1. 简要描述事情的经过； 2. 反思冲突发生的原因； 3. 思考解决冲突的方法。 注意：1. 词数80左右； 2. 可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 5．假定你是李华,上周五早上你校举办了首届学生生活技能录像(videos)展示活动,主题为“劳动创造美好生活(Work Creates a Better Life)”,请你为校英文报写一篇报道,内容包括: 1.活动主题;

I was depressed by my job because I often had to work overtime. Even so, the little money I received was difficult to support my life. I was not able to buy a car for myself or travel even when I had some free time. After continuing this cycle of work for years, I finally decided to give up and take up the job of a joker (小丑) who does silly things to make others laugh. I don’t know why I chose to be a joker. The pay was very low, but at least the work was less than before. I wondered how this job would be any different from the last job. Once I was called to go to a hospital and put up a show for the little kids who were admitted for weeks in this hospital. I didn’t want to go that day, but I had to pay my bills. There were beautiful roses outside the hospital gate, but I was in no mood to enjoy them. Upon reaching the hospital, I dressed myself up as a joker in the restroom and was on my way to the stage when I saw a kid in a wheelchair staring at me with bright eyes. He was a beautiful boy who was suffering from cancer. He looked so pale and weak that I could feel the pain he was going through. The smile on his face made me realize that I must do my best to give this kid some comfort during his sufferings. The nurse took the kid to his seat in a big room together with many other kids. I walked up to the stage and began to show my tricks. I put my heart into the show more than anything else I had ever done. As a result, I was able to make the kids laugh loudly and happily, and they all were enjoying the show. The smiling faces of these happy children battling with their lives gave new energy to me. Paragraph 1: After that day, my performance as a joker her and more and more popular. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: I decided to pay him a visit once again. __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 2. Mary waited anxiously for her turn in the empty dressing room. Never had she been so nervous before. This competition was of vital importance to her comeback.“If I can win today,” she said to herself, “I can dance on the national stage next month.” Three months ago, her left arm was seriously injured in a car accident.After the medical treatment, she began to recover slowly. She practiced over and over again in order to regain her dancing skills. “Hi, Mary,” in rushed her friend Jessica.“How is your arm? Is it going to influence your performance?” “I guess it can be tolerated, for I am to win the match,” said Mary with a determined look. “Admirable! But I hear that a girl called Linda is really gifted and strong.She can be your real well matched competitor.Come on!” After Jessica left,Mary decided to practice her most difficult spin. “If I don’t try harder, I won’t grasp this chance,” she thought. But her arm began to hurt, making her worried. “Mary, what makes you think you have a chance tonight?” she said to herself. After the pain was gone, she continued to warm up. A slim girl hurried in and put down an equipment bag on the chair.Then, she took out her dance dress quickly and put it on skillfully. Seeing Mary, she smiled politely and said, “Hi, I’m Linda. I am the next one!” Mary nodded in reply but felt uncomfortable, “This is just my competitor. Because of her, I may lose tonight.” Her mind was wandering when Linda let out a scream, “Oh, God, I can’t find my music tape!” Linda searched her bag but in vain. “It may be missing on the way.”With these words, she then rushed out. Paragraph 1: Suddenly, Mary caught sight of a black box under the chair where Linda put her bag. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Hearing her name called, Mary walked on the stage with her heart beating faster and faster. ______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 3．There are many friendships in the world that cannot be measured by money, and the friendship between teachers and students belongs to one of them. In the 1980s, when I was teaching at a high school in the western United States, I met a student named Daniel. He was a great kid from a tough neighborhood. Drugs, fighting and poverty: You name the problem and his neighborhood must have it. His parents ran a small farm. They were busy all day and night and had no time to take his studies and hobbies into account. A scholarship fund provided his tuition to Catholic High, where he was a great baseball player. Daniel struggled in the classroom, though. He was bright, but just left behind due to a difficult home environment. After school tutoring seemed impossible because of baseball practice. Some suggested Daniel give up sports and concentrate on study. But, in reality, if he was going to attend college he would need his sports; so to miss practice and then perform any less than at his best on the field was not wise. Daniel had a gentle personality and studied very hard. He got along well with his classmates in class, He respected his teachers, who were very concerned about his study. A fellow teacher, Mrs. Jones, offered to tutor Daniel in math at her home. I asked Daniel to come to my house for other subjects. No one paid us. Mrs. Jones summed it up this way: “Pay day doesn’t always come on Mondays, When we were not working with Daniel to improve his skills for the ACT (American College Test), the coach and Daniel’s dad took him to various colleges to talk with both baseball and football program coaches, He chose the college that offered him scholarships to play both sports. But he needed a good ACT score. 注意： 1.续写词数应为150左右； 2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。 It took months to receive the results of ACT. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ “I guess you got your scores!” I asked excitedly. ____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 4．What It Means to Serve I didn’t continue college after graduation.
