The bus journey from Dali to Lijiang was very unpleasant and I was feeling really unwell and was sick by the side of the road. It is a pity that I did not feel so good
as the scenery and housing along. The bus journey was truly beautiful but it is not humanly possible to enjoy such things when all you can think of is this Chinese bus going to get some of my carrots on its floors and seats?
I was very relieved to arrive in Lijiang—the place seemed bigger than Dali and initially more pretty as a picture. However, after walking for a bit around the place, I got the feeling that the place seemed overly touristy. This traditional and
old-looking town had a very new feeling to it as most of the old style buildings looked very new. This was hardly surprising as the town suffered a major earthquake in 1996, but all over the place e ven now, they were still building “old” style housing.
Feeling rather let down by the place, Peter, Rashad and I headed out for a meal. There were lots of barbecue (烤肉) type places where you selected your food to eat. Peter spoke to the restaurant people who told him that the place was cheap. We then made the big mistake of staying in the place without seeing the menu. Amongst other things, such as meat, we had also some tree and normal looking mushrooms cooked. When the bill arrived, it felt like we were having our pants pulled down.
We did not think that Lijiang could get any worse until we saw the nightlife. The music was loud in the clubs or bars along the streets. “Cool, this might be some sort of Chinese dance off.” I was thinking. Given my previous bad experiences of Lijiang, I should really have known better. However, the good things about the place are numberless, such as the attractive natural scenery, the ancient architecture, the century-old practices, and the hospitable locals.
1. From the first paragraph we can learn that .
A. the bus journey was boring and uncomfortable
B. the sides of the road were polluted seriously
C. the scenery isn’t beautiful as expected
D. the bus jogged along on the rough road
2. The underlined word “initially” means.
A. indeed
B. at first
C. in the end
D. really
3. The author had a very new feeling because .
A. it was the first time that he had visited Lijiang
B. many tall buildings had sprung up
C. the ancient town took a new look
D. the ancient town was man-made in a way
4. How did they feel while they were in the restaurant?
A. They thought they had appreciated good food.
B. They believed the bill was wrongly calculated.
C. They regretted having ordered mushrooms.
D. They had a more expensive meal than expected.
5. Which of the following is TRUE according to the last paragraph?
A. The author had a good impression of the music in the clubs.
B. The author once visited the town and loved Chinese dance.
C. Most of the people in Lijiang are warm-hearted.
D. The natural scenery has been damaged by noises.

高考英语书面表达考前精讲精练（答案）
书面表达解题指导
题型特点
《高中英语课程标准》对书面表达所要求达成的目标有着具体的描述，即：能比较详细和生动地用英语描述情景、态度或情感；能阐述自己的观点和评述他人的观点，文体恰当，用词准确；能用英文书写摘要、报告、通知和公务信函等；能根据用文字及图表提供的信息写短文或报告；能在写作中做到文字通顺、格式正确。
书面表达命题形式分类
1. 提纲式
提纲作文通常会罗列出一系列要点，要求考生根据所列要点来组织语言，按照一定的逻辑顺序正确地表达信息。
技巧：考生应按照所提供的提纲思路进行构思，并在提示上标出要点。要分析各点之间的逻辑关系，确定连接词、过渡句。要注意发挥自己的想象力，采用不同的表达方式，将要点完整地表达出来。
2. 图画式
这种命题方式一般提供一副或多幅图画。这些图画通常寓意深刻，或批判某种现象，或褒扬好人好事，或提倡某种活动，或阐述某个事件。图画作文首先考查的是考生的理解能力，它要求考生尽快获得图画所传递的信息，从而根据所掌握的信息进行发挥创作。
技巧：考生应注意读懂图画及写作要求，分析写作的主题，并确定好文章的体裁及段落发展方式。如果画面内容是以描述为主，则按空间方式或时间先后顺序排列。如果图画内容是以解释说明为主，则不需要考生再将图中所看到的人或事本身进行详细描写，而是直接写出图画的意义。
该类型的作文给了考生一定的想象余地和发挥空间。同时，它也暗含了条件和限制，考生所有的叙述都不得脱离图画。考生可以增加细节，但是增加的细节只是基于写作的需要，不能违背图画的本意。
3. 图表作文
图表作文的命题形式一般可分为表格、曲线图、柱形图和饼形图等。图表作文的体裁多为议论文或说明文，其内容大多涉及各种情况对比。
技巧：写此类作文时，要以题目中的要求为指导，仔细解读图表，准确把握图表传递的信息，归纳要点，将其扩展成文。
读写任务解题指导
读写任务写作是具有一定开放性的写作命题，其选材内容都是考生熟悉的题材，也就是贴近考生学习和生活的话题。读写任务侧重考查考生对所读材料的归纳概括能力和运用英语进行书面表达的能力，可以说这是一种考查阅读和写作的综合能力的试题。
【写作技巧】
材料概括部分
(一) 写作步骤
1. 寻找关键词。文章的关键词可结合写作内容中的“就……”主题发表自己的看法的要求来确定。如，要求你“以约120词讲述一次你（或你的朋友）想家的经历”，那么所阅读的文章的主题词就应是homesick。
2. 确定主题句。文章的主题句首先可通过所给阅读材料的标题来确定，阅读材料的标题即是文章的论点或主题句。没有标题的文章，我们就尤应注意第一段（总起段）和最后一段（总结段），或每一段的第一句或第二句（总起句）和最后一句（总结句）。没有主题句的需要自己根据段落大意总结。
3. 重构主题句。概括的主题句要归纳总结性强，能涵盖后面所有的支撑句的内容。
4. 重组支撑句。支撑句的意义在逻辑上受制于主题句，可以是补充过程或者提供证据。
(二) 写作方法
1. 使用意义相同或相近的单词、短语或句式，或使用不同的句子结构表达同一意思，如改变语态、肯定变否定等，避免照搬原文句子。
2. 概括议论文时则要尽可能客观简要地转述阅读材料的观点。概括对方观点首先是要转换视角，即以“第三人称”或“无人称”来概括。
3. 如果所给的阅读材料是一则故事，应该用最简练的语言来说明故事讲述了什么，不能拖泥带水讲细节，而且最好讲出故事给你的启示或其中的一个道理。
4. 如果是说明性或描述性短文，就必须用概括性的文字说明客观事物或现象。
特别提醒：不要照搬原文中的句子，而必须用自己的话来转述。概括可采用总→分的形式，即第一句话是主题句，清楚明白地告诉读者文章的主要内容（这句话举足轻重），后面的句子对主题句进行解释和支撑，主题之外的内容要毫不吝啬地予以删除。
陈述观点部分
（一）写作步骤
1. 阅读短文，找出文章的内容要点。
(1) 议论文：找出论点、论据和结论。其关键是找出主题句或结论句。若文中有一分为二的观点，两种观点都要概括，不要漏掉其中一方的观点。
(2) 记叙文：找出时间(when)，地点(where)，人物(who)，做了什么事(what)，结果怎么样(how)等五要素。其中，最重要的要点是某人(who)做了何事(what)。若是夹叙夹议的文章，还要加上作者的看法、观点、经验或感悟。
(3) 说明文和新闻报道：通常会有中心句(多在首段)，写概要时注意要找出中心句，抓住关键词。对现象分析型说明文，要找出“现象”、“造成这种现象的原因”及“解决这种现象或问题的措施或建议”。
(4) 发言稿：通常会很明确地表明观点或态度，写概要时要从发言者的言语中明确作者的态度，把握作者的写作目的。或先概括每段大意，进而归纳全文主旨。
2. 过渡，引出自己的观点。写了摘要和过渡的话后，再引出自己的观点(赞成或反对)或引出类似的故事。
3. 例证，论证自己的观点。
(1) 议论文：在提出自己的观点后，就用具体的事例来论证自己的观点。
(2) 记叙文：编写与阅读文章主题相同但情节不同的故事(亲身经历或虚构)。
4. 结论，注意前后呼应。
5. 润色，使其锦上添花。
一查人称是否符合要求；二查语法方面的问题，包括用词、时态等细节方面的错误，确保语言规范；三查逻辑关系，看前后观点是否一致；四查是否使用一些较为高级的句型、结构和词语，如主从复合句、倒装句型、非谓语动词结构、with 短语结构、恰当的连接词、短语动词等。
(二) 写作方法
1. 分析写作内容所给各要点的意义，确定自己的观点。观点一定要鲜明、突出、不可模棱两可。一般情况下，所要简述的观点和感想要合乎人们的共识，尽量做到合情合理，避免偏激。
2. 掌握一定的技巧和方法，如：在内容上，要包含全部的提示要求；在语言表达上，要尽量使用高级词汇、短语、固定结构等，做到选词准确、用语规范、表达丰富多彩。
3. 在谋篇布局上，做到思路清晰，段落分明，层次清楚，文章首尾呼应，段落衔接连贯。篇章结构严谨，一气呵成，注意分段成文，以便层次分明。
4. 巧妙过渡和结尾，以起到妙笔生花、画龙点睛的作用。
??练就自我??
阅读下面短文，然后按要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
Big or small, rejection affects us all. Harry Potter was rejected. So was The Twilight Saga. If authors J. K. Rowling and Stephenie Meyer hadn’t kept trying with publisher after publisher, we’d all have missed out on some great adventures.
Rejection doesn’t have to be about the big thing like not getting into your top college, not making the team, or not getting asked to the prom (舞会). Everyday situations can lead to the feeling of rejection, too, like if your joke doesn’t get a laugh, if no one remembers to save you a seat at the lunch table, or if the person you really like talks to everyone but you.
Feeling rejected is the opposite of feeling accepted. But being rejected (and we will all be at times) doesn’t mean someone isn’t liked, valued, or important. It just means that one time, in one s ituation, with one person, things didn’t work out.
Rejection hurts. But it’s impossible to avoid it altogether. In fact, you don’t want to— people who become too afraid of rejection might hold back from going after something they want. Sure, they avoid rej ection, but they’re also 100% guaranteed to miss out on what they want but won’t try for.
【写作内容】
1. 以约30个词概括上文的主要内容。
2. 以约120个词就“How to deal with rejection”这一话题发表你的看法，内容包括：
(1) 讲述一次你被拒绝的经历；
(2) 你当时的感受；
(3) 你认为应该如何正确面对拒绝。
【写作要求】
作文中可以使用亲身经历或虚构的故事，也可以参照阅读材料的内容，但不得直接引用原文中的句子。
【评分标准】
概括准确，语言规范，内容合适，语篇连贯。
One possible version
Everyone has experiences of being rejected. Although rejection makes us feel hurt, we can never avoid it, or we’ll certainly miss out on things we want.
Three years ago, I competed with my classmates for an important role in an English show to be held in my school. I was so eager to participate in it that I practiced hard in my spare time. However, I was turned down in the last round. I felt really disappointed and deeply hurt because my friends made it but I failed.
As far as I’m concerned, if we can deal with rejection well, it will have a minimal effect on us. First, we should have a positive attitude toward rejection; that is to say, we ought to acknowledge it and keep reminding ourselves that rejection is always a possibility. Second, we can tell our family or friends what happened and how we feel about it or even cry if we want to —it’s a natural way to release our emotions. Last but not least, we should consider rejection as an opportunity for self-improvement and try our best to get accepted next time.
2016年高考英语全国Ⅰ卷试题及答案
2016普通高等学校招生全国统一考试（新课标I） 英语试卷类型A 第Ⅰ卷 第二节（共 5 小题，每小题 2 分，满分10 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 Secret codes (密码)keep messages private。Banks, companies, and government agencies use secret codes in doing business, especially when information is sent by computer. People have used secret codes for thousands of years. 36 Code breaking never lags(落后) far behind code making. The science of creating and reading coded messages is called cryptography. There are three main types of cryptography. 37 For example, the first letters of “My elephant eats too many eels” Spell out the hidden message “Meet me.” 38 You might represent each letter with a number, for example. Let’s number the letters of the alphabet, in order, from 1 to 26. If we substitut e a number for each letter, the message “Meet me” would read “13 5 5 20 13 5.” A code uses symbols to replace words, phrases, or sentences. To read the message of a real code, you must have a code book. 39 For example, “bridge” might stand for “meet” and “out” might stand for “me.” The message “Bridge out” would actually mean “Meet me.”40 However, it is also hard to keep a code book secret for long. So codes must be changed frequently. A. It is very hard to break a code without the code book. B. In any language, some letters are used more than others. C. Only people who know the keyword can read the message. D. As long as there have been codes, people have tried to break them. E. You can hide a message by having the first letters of each word spell it out. F. With a code book, you might write down words that would stand for other words. G. Another way to hide a message is to use symbols to stand for specific letters of the alphabet. 第三部分英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分） 第一节完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和D）中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 A Heroic Driver Larry works with Transport Drivers, Inc.

第二十九组 (建议用时：25分钟) 阅读理解 A He was in the first third grade class I taught at Saint Mary’s School in Morris, Minn.All 34 of my students were dear to me, but Mark Eklund was one in a million.Very neat in appearance, he had that happy-to-be-alive attitude that made even his occasional misconduct delightful. Mark often talked constantly. I had to remind him again and again that talking without permission was not acceptable.What impressed me so much, though, was his sincere response every time I had to correct h im for misbehaving.“Thank you for correcting me, Sister！” I didn’t know what to make of it at first, but before long I became accustomed to hearing it many times a day. One morning my patience was growing thin when Mark talked once too often, and then I made a new teacher’s mistake.I looked at him and said，“If you say one more word, I am going to tape(用胶带封上) your mouth shut！” It wasn’t ten seconds later when Chuck, another student, blurted out, “Mark is talking again.” I hadn’t asked any of the students to help me watch Mark, but since I had stated the punishment in front of the class, I had to act on it. I remember the scene as if it had occurred this morning. I walked to my desk, very deliberately opened my drawer and took out a roll of masking tape.Without saying a word, I proceeded to Mark’s desk, tore off two pieces of tape and made a big X with them over his mouth.I then returned to the front of the room.As I glanced at Mark to see how he was doing, he winked at me.When I walked back to Ma rk’s desk and removed the tape, his first words were, “Thank you for correcting me, Sister.” One Friday, I asked the students to list the names of the other students in the room on two sheets of paper, leaving a space between each name.Then I told them to think of the nicest thing they could say about each of their classmates and write it down.It took the remainder of the class period to finish the assignment, and as the students left the room, each one handed me the paper. That Saturday, I wrote down the name of each student on a separate sheet of paper, and I listed what everyone else had said about that individual.On Monday I gave each student his or her list.Before long, the entire class was smiling.“Really？” I heard the whispers.“I never knew that meant anything to anyone！”“I didn’t know others liked me so much！”Then Mark said, “Thank you for teaching me, Sister.” No one ever mentioned those pieces of paper in class again.I never knew if they discussed them after class or with their parents. Several years later, after I returned from vacation, my parents met me at the airport.Mother gave Dad a side-ways glance and simply said，“Dad？” My father cleared his throat as he usually did before saying something important.“The Eklunds called last night，” he bega n.“Really？”I said.“I haven’t heard from them in years.I wonder how Mark is.”Dad responded quietly.“Mark was killed in the Vietn am War，” he said.“The funeral(葬礼) is tomorrow, and his parents would like it if you could attend.” I had never seen a serviceman in a military coffin before. Mark looked so handsome, so mature. After the funeral, Mark’s mother and father found me.“We want to show you something，”his father said.“They found this on Mark when he was killed.We thought you might recognize it.” Opening a billfold, he carefully removed two worn pieces
