Question

閱讀下面的短文，然后按要求寫一篇150字左右的英語短文。
Mayor Bloomberg has been the mayor of New York City for nearly nine years, but for ten years he has been wearing the same shoes. This is really rare to be seen on a billionaire.
“The mayor owns two pairs of work shoes,” said the spokesman. “One day he’ll wear one, the next the other. When they got worn down, he has them repaired. He could buy any shoes he wanted, but he says since they are comfortable, and they work, there’s no need for a new pair.” According to the spokesman, the mayor saves in his footwear and he also keeps it up in his personal as well as governmental finance. “When he buys a cup of coffee, he chooses the smallest size. He buys only what he needs.”
Such is the mayor of New York City, who cares little about his shoes, avoids wasting money and focuses his attention on his work and his people in the city.
But what about our fellow students nowadays? Some wear super expensive clothes and shoes; besides, they buy as many as possible, far more than two pairs. They always want the latest, the newest and throw the old ones away though they haven’t worn them for many times.

Answer 1

不唯一
The author introduces to us the mayor of New York City, a man who is rich but provident. The author also points out nowadays some students have the habit of wasting things.
When reading the passage, I am deeply moved by the mayor. Rich as he is, he has the virtue of saving. He spends money only on what he needs and never wastes money on what is of no use. I think this is really admirable.
The mayor reminds me of the great political leader of China, Chairman Mao. As the chairman of China, Mao led a very thrifty life. He used to wear old clothes at home. When his clothes were worn out, he would have them repaired and continued to wear them. He always told others that saving was a good virtue of Chinese people.
Thinking about the two great leaders, I feel deeply ashamed. As a young student who still has to depend on my parents, I have been leading too comfortable a life. I buy whatever I like though I don’t really need them. Besides, I like new things; when things get “old”, I tend to begin to dislike them and stop using them. Now that I realize that this is wrong, I’m determined that I shall follow the examples of the two great leaders and start to get rid of the bad habits.

試題分析：讀寫任務(wù)概括方法:我們應(yīng)首先找出這篇材料中故事的主角, 然后找出該主角(何時何地因何原因或出于何種目的)做了何事, 再弄清結(jié)果如何, 以及該故事說明了一個什么道理或給人有什么啟示。(1)由于字數(shù)限制為大約30個詞, 我們不一定要使用The story tells us或者The author/The passage shows us that等開頭套語。
(2)時態(tài)應(yīng)與原文時態(tài)一致。
(3)一般以第三人稱的形式來表述。如I要變成The writer, he/she等。這里主要說的是市長節(jié)約的做法值得稱贊。
點評：提醒考生背誦一些范文，特別是近幾年高考中的作文和課文中好的段落以及報刊上各種體裁的優(yōu)秀文章，學(xué)生也就能在自己的腦子中形成一定的寫作框架，做到心中有數(shù)，同時也能增強學(xué)生的寫作信心，提高寫作水平。
