第二篇：2014上海高考英語改革（推薦）

2014上海高考英語改革

近日，2014年高考改革的消息一直不絕于耳，語法部分的變動是板上釘釘的定論------取消選擇題，替換為語法填空題。

下面，請大家先看一下2013年3月份左右高考考試院內部發布的2014年語法新題型的樣題，牛刀小試一下：

Directions: Read the following passage.For some blanks, there is a word given in the brackets.Fill in each of these blanks with the proper form.of the given word.Fill in the other blanks with words that are correct in structure and proper in meaning.There is a photo hanging above my desk.Whenever I look at that photograph, it takes me back to those early years __1__ everynew experience was important for me.It was towards the end of the school year __2__ it happened.I had been looking forward to that day with such eagerness.I can still remember the shouts of the spectators as I __3__(go)out onto the sports field with my classmates.Two days __4__(early), I had qualified for the finals of the 100 metres.Now looking around, I was determined __5__(win).…

請大家對對答案：

1.when2.that3.went4.earlier5.to win

眾所周知，高考英語的語法題型多年來一直以單項選擇的傳統題型來考查，2014年將全面取消語法選擇題（16題*1分=16分），替換為新題型：語法填空（見以上樣題），2個語篇，共15道題（15分）。

通過樣題，我們可以發現新題型語法填空的形式，基本可以分為兩種，提供提示詞的和沒有提示詞的。前者的考察點在于，以提示詞的適當形式填空；后者則以連接詞、或代詞、冠詞、介詞、固定搭配等為考察點。

相較語法選擇題，鑒于沒有可供排除的選項，故新題型的難度相對較高，需要考生有一個扎實的語法基礎，方可游刃有余的應對此題型。雖然2014年的考生大部分都花了十幾年的時間來訓練選擇題，對選擇題的題型及應試技巧爛熟于心，但是在考綱未發生重大變化的前提下，“萬變不離其宗”，縱然題型有變，但是主考的語法點并未發生變化。只要考生對語法的基本知識有系統的掌握，加之多年選擇題的大量操練，一樣可以應對新題型，無需感到緊張不安。

第三篇：2013上海高考英語作文參考

上海博物館擬舉辦一次名畫展，現就展出場所（博物館還是社區圖書館）征集公眾意見，假設你是王敏，給上海博物館寫一封信表達你的想法。你的信必須滿足以下要求：

1.簡述你寫信的目的及你對場所的選擇；

2.說明你的理由（從便利性、專業性等方面對這兩個場所進行對比）。

Dear exhibition organizers of Shanghai Museum:

My name is Wang Min, a student studying at Shanghai XX High School.I am writing to offer my views on the place where the exhibition should be held.As far as I am concerned, the painting exhibition should without doubt take place in Shanghai Museum instead of the community library.The reasons why I hold that opinion are as follows.First, in terms of convenience, Shanghai Museum is a much better choice for visitors who may not know well about Shanghai.Located near People’s Square, the best-known transportation center and tourist site in Shanghai, it is absolutely easy for anyone to find it.Considering that it is an exhibition of famous paintings that will attract guests from all over the world, the broad streets will serve as another advantage to provide easy access and sufficient parking space.Another advantage that Shanghai Museum has over the community library is that it has considerable experience in organizing such exhibitions.It is quite common for Shanghai Museum to be in charge of a wide range of activities.We should hand a task to a professional rather than an amateur and Shanghai Museum is just the professional who will fulfill the task skillfully.Modest as my reasoning may seem, I believe it makes sense.I hope you will include my views when you make the decision.Thank you!

Yours Sincerely

Wang Min

Dear Editor，When it comes to the selection of the columns for the school English newspaper, opinions vary from one to another.As far as I am concerned, the columns preserved will definitely make a feature of students interest and exert positive effects on their study and life.Comparatively speaking, I maintain that the value of the columns concerning health and culture far outweighs that of the entertainment.The immediate factor is nothing is more valuable than keeping healthy in that loss of health signifies kissing goodbye to life.Thats why more knowledge of how to keep fit, more effectively one can improve his quality of life.The second point to be mentioned is that progress in the acquisition of cultures contributes to broadening ones horizons, which in turn facilitates ones study and the establishment of philosophy of life.As for the addition, the career planning constitutes a top priority.For one thing, it concerns ones career development a great deal while for another, it makes a great difference to ones career success in the future.I am pretty convinced that a wise choice makes perfect.I am writing the e-mail in the hope that my advice will add a brilliant touch to the improved version of our school English newspaper.Yours sincerely，Cheng Fei

第五篇：上海高考英語滿分作文匯總

June 8th

Dear Haiqing，I hear you are very unhappy these days because your parents can‘t afford to buy you some brand-name shoes and garments you like very much.And I write you this letter to share with you what I think about this matter.To begin with，beauty is just skin deep.Don‘t you think it silly to pay so much attention to your appearance？ He is a shallow person who judges others by their appearance； in the same sense，he is a shallow person who thinks that a brand-name garment can add to his glamour.So please，just forget about those brand-name things.What really matters is not whether you wear brand-name shoes or garments but whether your clothes fit you.As a student，you have to wear the school uniform on the weekdays and to be honest，you look very smart in it.Then why do you have to bother to buy the expensive brand-name things？

Secondly，I know your parents are both average workers.Hard as they work，they don‘t earn much.Despite this，they do their best to give you a lot of things on demand.Look at the callus on their hands and wrinkles on their faces，how can you have the heart to ask for more than they can afford，which will surely break their hearts？ Remember，parents don’t owe us expensive summer camps； they don‘t owe us Sony Walkman； nor do they owe us Nike shoes，If you really want those fancy things，you should take a part-time job to contribute to their purchase rather than ask your parents for money to add to their already heavy burden.Don’t you think so？

Thirdly，we have such a wide variety of things available these days which are both nice and inexpensive.What‘s the point of paying much more for those brand-name things that are not much better？ My friend，take my advice，and you’ll be a wiser consumer as well as a more considerate child to your parents.Poverty，sometimes，is a good thing.It can test a person‘s character and it makes a man out of a boy faster than anything else.Keep working hard，and you are bound to be able to afford those things in the near future.Now you may as well focus on your study.Anyway，wouldn’t it be funny for a would-be achiever to be so preoccupied with brand-name things all day long？

Keep in touch.Yours

Huangping 459 2012 As is vividly described in the picture, the foreign pupils are raising their hands, eager to answer the teacher’s questions.Judging from the smiles on their faces, they must be very happy, relaxed and free.This reminds me of my primary school days, which was totally different from theirs.As far as I can remember, my teachers as well as my parents always told me to keep quiet and sit straight in class, not to do anything without the

teacher’s permission, including smiling and speaking out our viewpoints freely.I did as I was told.Frankly speaking, I’m fond of the atmosphere in western classes.But on the other hand, I still treasure the strict discipline learned when I was young.As a matter of fact, I think it is different cultures that make different classes and also different students.I am glad to see that the education of China is undergoing a significant reform, which aims to reduce students’ learning burden and encourage students to be more imaginative and creative.I firmly believe that in the near future more and more Chinese students will enjoy a free and open classroom atmosphere.192 2.As is described in the picture, a group of foreign students are raising their hands to give answers to the question in a joyful and active way.The purpose of the picture is to show us how active the class performance is in the foreign country.Compared with the class performance in local China, the difference is quite obvious.We Chinese students stay quiet in class, keep taking notes and listen to what teacher is talking in a careful way.I ask myself what causes lead to the phenomenon? Why class performance of Chinese students is quite different from that of foreign students? Possible reasons can be listed as follows.Most important of all, education system in China is the key reason.The first day we become the primary student, our teachers tell us to obey the rules in class.We put our hands back and stay quiet in class.Lecture-model teaching is the traditional way in Chinese class.Teacher is the leading actor or actress and student is always the supporting roles.Gradually we get into the habit of staying quiet in class and lose the ability to raise questions and give the answers.The second point to be mentioned is that Chinese students hold different attitudes toward study.In our minds, we always think what we should learn instead of how we should learn knowledge in a smart way.We behave us as a passive listener, but foreign student act as a active learner.As a saying goes, it is better to teach to fish rather than give a fish.Taking what has been discussed above into account, there is no doubt that we need to think it over whether we are supposed to be a learner or a quiet listener.193 2009 ?

It is said that a summer camp is to be held by your school and a few courses are available to choose from.I am interested in gardening, in that I believe it features my character and personal benefits.?

During the learning period, I expect to gain some unexpected knowledge.A radical technique I’d like to obtain is to know how to tell difference species of plants and flowers apart.This helps me to have a clearer outlook of those in my garden.Furthermore, the proper cutting time and frequency to water are some other skills I want to learn.A little knowledge concerning choosing suitable soil or reasonable positions will also be a good choice.? The main reason why I choose gardening is that I want to help my parents with their work in the domestic garden.In addition, I find that we students generally lack the knowledge of gardening, missing a chance to have a word with nature, so that knowing the surroundings is imperative.Last but not least, by attending the courses, I will have a meaningful summer vacation, and drowning myself between plants will by all means add a brilliant touch to my life.200 2008 1.A group dancing competition will be held in our school and the monitor calls on everybody to take an active part in it.While most of my classmates are still hesitating whether to participate, I have said yes to our monitor with great pleasure.Generally speaking, there are two reasons for my decision.First, it is a good opportunity for me to relax myself, which will enable me to study more efficiently.All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, so goes the saying, which clearly shows us the importance of relaxation.Besides, I think I am a good dancer after learning dance for more than five years.Participating in the contest will be a golden chance for me to show my dancing skills and make some contributions to the class.For the two reasons mentioned above, it is no surprise that I have such a strong enthusiasm for the group dancing competition.155

2.Today the monitor calls on everybody to take an active part in the group dancing competition which will be held in a couple of days in our school.But after some careful consideration, I have decided not to participate.There are a number of reasons for my decision.First and foremost, as the College Entrance Exam is just around the corner, study is the top priority for me.Participating in the group dancing competition has to give way because it might take me too much time.What’s more, without any experience of dancing, I don’t think I can be a good dancing partner.I am afraid my poor dancing skills will probably spoil the performance of the whole class.In this case, it’s better for me to be a spectator cheering for my classmates.For these reasons, it seems more appropriate for me to watch the competition than to dance myself.151 2007

A Present for Father’s Day

The Father’s Day will come soon.and I want to give my Dad a present.That is a VIP card of a health club.When I was a little boy, Dad worked hard as a teacher.During term, Mother and I sometimes accompanied Dad in his office till a late hour.From then on, I understood that Dad worked with great effort.There are still too many precious memories which I’ll cherish in my heart.And I want to give this present to express my thanks to him.Time flies and I’m 18 now.As I grow up, Father is getting older.He is now still diving into piles of books.With the health club membership, I hope that he will set aside some time to do more exercise.I think that he will relax in the health club and make more friends as well.150 2.It is widely acknowledged that a good present is of great value to a person and even prone to change his or her life.As for me , one of the most impressive presents I have given to my friends is a watch which I have used for three years.The watch was given to Tom, who is one of my best friends.Diligent and warm-hearted as he is , he sometimes has no sense of time, which causes him to be late for many things and leads to some trouble in work.By giving him such a watch, I hope he will pay more attention to punctuality, which may bring him more credibility in life and higher efficiency in both work and study.Besides, he used to tell me that he might feel lonely in the new environment after leaving the old friends in high school, and thus I hope that such a gift will remind him of the good old days we happily spent together and help him to feel better when he misses me.Anyway ,I do wish that Tom will like this present, which hopefully will bring him good luck.192 2006

Of the two universities listed above, I prefer the one in the north.The main reason is that the tuition is only 5,000 RMB for the university a year, compared with 8,000 RMB for the university in the south.This makes a big difference for a family like a mine, because my father is peasant and the only breadwinner in the family.Studying at the northern university can save my father big money.Another reason I take into consideration is the preference policy the northern university offers.Any candidate who chooses to study there may gain an extra 20 points, which greatly raises the possibility of my being admitted to this university.Of course, it doesn't mean that it will be quite easy to pass the entrance exam because this university has limited the number of qualified candidates to 10 only.However, I have been doing quite well in school, so I believe I can pass the entrance exam with flying colors.162 2.Compared with the northern university, the southern one is more to my liking.It is true that in terms of tuition the former is 3,000 RMB cheaper than the latter.However, that's not a problem to me because I can work my way through college once I get admitted.What counts is the reputation it has.Once I enter this school, my future career is guaranteed.Also, the university in the south recruits 20 new students instead of 10, which means that I will stand a better chance of getting admitted.The competition is very keen, though, as you can see because this university doesn't give candidates any extra points.So all I can do now is study hard, pass the tough entrance exam, and qualify as a student of the university of my choice.135

There is an old English saying that there must be a use for my talent.I have regarded it as my motto for many years.From my point of view, there is no difference between one person and another.With some useful talent, you will make your contributions to this society.When I was ten years old, there was an old man living at the corner of xx Road.He didn’t have the opportunity to study in school, but he learned how to make wood furniture.Every time people went to ask him to solve some problems of furniture, he was willing to help them.To my surprise, in his spare time, he would make some toys with small piece s of wood.Some of them were sold to the toy store and others were given to us.The moment I see the lovely toys made by this old man, I would remember the happy childhood.From this old man, we can see whatever kind of talent you have, you can find your own method to display your talent.The most important factor is your confidence.If you believe the saying that there must be a use for my talent, you will succeed.205
