我国古代的读书人,从上学之日起,就日诵不辍,一般在几年内就能识记几千个汉字,熟记几百篇文章,写出的诗文也是字斟句酌,琅琅上口,成为满腹经纶的文人。为什么在现代化教学的今天,我们念了十几年书的高中毕业生甚至大学生,竟提起作文就头疼,写不出像样的文章呢?吕叔湘先生早在1978年就尖锐地提出:“中小学语文教学效果差,中学语文毕业生语文水平低,……十几年上课总时数是9160课时,语文是2749课时,恰好是30%,十年的时间,二千七百多课时,用来学本国语文,却是大多数不过关,岂非咄咄怪事!”寻根究底,其主要原因就是腹中无物。特别是写议论文,初中水平以上的学生都知道议论文的“三要素”是论点、论据、论证,也通晓议论文的基本结构:提出问题――分析问题――解决问题,但真正动起笔来就犯难了。知道“是这样”,就是讲不出“为什么”。根本原因还是无“米”下“锅”。于是便翻开作文集锦之类的书大段抄起来,抄人家的名言警句,抄人家的事例,不参考作文书就很难写出像样的文章。所以,词汇贫乏、内容空洞、千篇一律便成了中学生作文的通病。要解决这个问题,不能单在布局谋篇等写作技方面下功夫,必须认识到“死记硬背”的重要性,让学生积累足够的“米”。1.海关n.

One possible version： The majority of our class had decided to visit the Great Wall by means of bicycling on Sunday. Suddenly it occurred to us that the Palace Museum was more appealing. So we changed our minds. On the way we teamed up to carry our luggage and at the entrance we elected Tom to buy tickets. Just as is apparently indicated in its brochure, there are a good many valuable collections. It is believed that nowhere in the world can impress us so deeply as the Palace Museum.

Good afternoon, everyone!The topic of my speech today is “Being a GoodListener”．________________________________________________________________________Thank you for your listening![范文]Good_afternoon,_everyone!The_topic_of_my_speech_today_is_“Being_a_Good_Listener”．Good listening can always show respect, promote understanding, and improve interpersonal relationship.Many people suggest that parents should listen more to their children, so they will understand them better, and find it easy to narrow the generation gap; teachers should listen more to their students, then they can meet their needs better, and place themselves in a good relationship with their students; students should listen more to their classmates, thus they will help and learn from each other, and a friendship is likely to be formed.What I want to stress is that each of us should listen more to others. Show your respect and never stop others till they finish their talk; show you are interested by a supportive silence or a knowing smile; be open－minded to different opinions even though you don't like them. In a word, good listening can really enable us to get closer to each other.Thank_you_for_your_listening!考点探究互动探究·能力备考Ⅰ.词汇短语过关1．means n. 方法；手段by all means 务必；一定；当然可以by any means 无论如何by no means 决不(用于句首时引起部分倒装)by this/these means 用这种/这些办法by means of 依靠……方法，借助……手段[即学即练1](1)Taking a plane is ________________________ getting there.去那儿最快的方式是坐飞机。
