Recently I have made an investigation on whether a model-test paper for Senior two should be difficult or easy. Opinions are various on this matter.
Some students think that a difficult exam is just like a challenge. The harder, the better. It can help students find out where they are weak in studies and improve their learning approaches.
Others, however, are against a difficult exam. In their opinion, if it is very difficult, they may become discouraged and feel terrible about the coming College Entrance Examination. Besides, with an easy exam, they can get high marks and gain confidence.
I prefer it to be neither too difficult nor too easy, because if it is too easy, teachers will not know how we are actually getting on with our studies, and if it is too difficult, we will lose heart.
試題分析:考查議論文寫作:本篇寫作題材是對高二模擬考試該偏難還是該偏易這個問題進行了一次調查,要求表述的不同觀點。這種文章一般層次比較清晰,有總述;不同觀點及依據(jù),要注意的是:在列舉雙方依據(jù)時要盡量使語言多樣化;考生應該用自己最熟悉、最有把握的詞、短語及句式,按一定的邏輯順序和意義層次完成短文,劃分好文章的自然段落,注意段落之間的發(fā)展和連貫。盡量使用不同長度的句子,使句型多樣化。適當使用連詞,使句子間的銜接自然流暢。一篇文章需要有正確的句子才能明了清晰的表達作者的意思。考生應明白高考書面表達題既不是漢譯英,也不是可任意發(fā)揮的作文。它要求的是將所規(guī)定的材料內容經整理后展開思維,考查運用所學英語知識準確地表達意思的能力。
【亮點說明】這篇文章有一些高級詞匯和復雜句型:The harder, the better. 越…越…,It can help students find out where they are weak in studies and improve their learning approaches.這句話使用賓語從句, I prefer it to be neither too difficult nor too easy, because if it is too easy, teachers will not know how we are actually getting on with our studies, and if it is too difficult, we will lose heart. 這句話使用了neither…nor…詞組,還有條件狀語從句,還有文章用了However和Besides,這樣的詞使文章更加連貫。
