Ⅲ.应用文写作(15分)
假定你是李华,你校英语俱乐部即将举办文学名著读书会。请你为莎士比亚(Shakespeare)的《威尼斯商人》(The Merchant of Venice)写一篇概要,并在读书会上与大家分享。概要的内容包括:
1.作品名称及作者;
2.剧情介绍;
3.作品的意义及你的感受。
注意:可以适当增加细节,以使行文连贯。
参考范文:
The Merchant of Venice is one of Shakespeare's plays.Bassanio, a noble but penniless Venetian, asks his friend Antonio for a loan so that he can undertake a journey to woo Portia.Antonio, whose money is invested in foreign ventures, borrows money from Shylock in order to assist Bassanio.However, if the loan cannot be repaid in time, Antonio will give Shylock a pound of flesh.
News arrives that Antonio's ships have been lost at sea.Unable to get his money back, Shylock attempts to enforce a terrible revenge on Antonio, demanding his pound of flesh.However, Portia turns the tables on Shylock by an argument: he must take the flesh only, and Shylock must die if any blood is spilled.Thus, the contract is canceled.
This play, in my opinion, focuses on several main themes, such as friendship and the strength of women.It teaches me to treat others kindly and cherish friendship. Therefore, it is definitely worth reading.
Ⅳ.概要写作(25分)
阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
There are many good reasons for adding recycling to your routine, ranging from a personal level to a global advantage.Recycling your waste makes you more responsible in the way you use and dispose of it.As a result, people end up saving a considerable amount of money while also saving the planet.Individuals, governing bodies and companies can take pride in minimizing their waste as they are helping to reduce global environmental damage and making this earth a better place.
Apart from the environmental benefits, think of the employment that it can generate.You put your waste in different bins.The manpower involved in the logistics and processing of your waste is considerable and thus you are helping to keep people in jobs.What could be more helpful in tough economic times as now than keeping people employed?
That is not all of the advantages of recycling.Many charities and community groups raise money through reusing and recycling goods.Your city has many charity shops that will take your unwanted clothes, electronics, furniture and other household items to resell as income for these nonprofit organizations and these donations are also tax deductible for you.Some other not-for-profit charities will deliver such clothing and other items to underdeveloped communities around the globe.So, think of the people in need in your local community and in other nations before you throw away all those unused or uneaten stuff into the trash can next time.
When we talk about recycling household and workplace things, we tend to ignore or are less aware of how to deal with the electrical and electronic waste.E-waste is valuable as a source of secondary raw material but poisonous if disposed of improperly.Due to rapid technology development, obsolescent (过时的) items have created a fast-growing mass of electronic waste around the globe.
参考范文:
Recycling is beneficial to the environment in terms of not only every individual but also the overall planet.(要点1) It can also help create jobs and keep people employed, generating employment.(要点2) In addition, charities and community groups can help those in need through people's recycling of goods.(要点3) We should also pay more attention to the problem of e-waste.(要点4)
二、阅读拓展训练
阅读七选五
Bettering yourself is a crucial ability that can help you live a happier life. 1 .
Read more books
There are books on virtually everything. So, reading more books can not only help you explore your current interests, but also develop new ones. 2 . Some books are written specifically with the intention of helping you start working on self-improvement and personal growth. Even a fiction novel can do wonders for you. The most vital thing is that you have to read about them.
Spend more time outdoors
Find opportunities to spend more time outdoors. If you have access to areas of nature, consider spending time there. A recent investigation demonstrates that even a short 15-minute walk in the forest can decrease negative moods like anxiety and depression. 3 . For example, make sure you have good hiking shoes if you begin hiking.

Kindness is one of the best ways to become a better you. First, it's free. It doesn't require much effort to be kind instead of indifferent or unkind. Second, it can help you feel much better about yourself. Third, it can improve other people's lives as well. Showing kindness requires you to become more aware of those around you. By doing so, you'll notice more of what people need, even when they don't say it.
Write in a journal
5 . You can also practice how to become more aware of your own thoughts. An investigation reveals that writing in a journal can improve your welfare and decrease mental distress (忧虑). When you start writing in your journal, just write down what comes to your mind, and don't judge what comes out.
