2014-5英语作文范文背诵（一）1. (2014高三英语综合练习（1）)Taking Chinese Character Dictation Contest broadcasted on CCTV as an example, the passage points out that many people now have trouble in writing Chinese characters in daily life, which may be caused by the overuse of digital devices.Nowadays, I feel a bit ashamed every time I am unable to write Chinese characters correctly, some of which are commonly used in our everyday life.What causes this phenomenon? As is mentioned in the reading passage, the popularity of digital devices is a major contributing factor. Unlike older generations, young people today prefer typing instead of writing by hand. Besides, some wrongly-written advertising signs can be seen everywhere, which mislead people a lot.We should attach great importance to Chinese traditional culture. First, we should call for the popularity of handwriting because Chinese characters are the most important part of Chinese culture. Opening calligraphy lessons in schools would be a meaningful method to rebuild children's interest in handwriting. Then, celebrating Chinese traditional festivals is also significant to pass on Chinese history and culture. In addition, don‟t forget to protect the cultural relics around our country, which are precious heritages left by our ancestors.2.

Coupons, group-buy deals as well as discounts are warmly welcomed and considered fashionable by consumers. [2] However, will they really help us save money and make us smart consumers? Undoubtedly, the answer is NO.[3]First of all, the gratification of saving money on one commodity will greatly stimulate consumers' desire to buy more. It is easy to presume that more money will be spent eventually. [4] Similarly, at the sight of such low price, many consumers tend to lose their mind and come back home with packages of unnecessary goods. It is absolutely a waste of money. [5]Last but not least, many consumers are passionate enough to purchase piles of group-buy coupons without realizing that there are many unpleasant additional clauses attached to them. [6] For instance, many restaurant coupons can only be used at a certain time with certain specified dishes, which can hardly be called a satisfactory consumption experience.[7]To conclude, there's no denying that these fashionable ways of consumption can to some extent help us save money. However, a much greater amount of money will be spent if we are indulged in using them. We will never become truly smart consumers if we don't spend money rationally.[1]开门见山，通过现象引出话题。

[2]通过一问一答的方式表明自己的态度：[3][4][5] 分别从三个方面来论述团购等消费方式并不能真正省钱。

[6]通过举例说明有些团购券的附加条款限制了消费者的自由，并不能让消费者满意消费。

[7]结尾指出沉溺于这种消费方式并不明智，强调应理智消费。

范文（二）The advantages of being careful with money in daily lifeNowadays, there is a hot debate on whether people, including students should be careful with their money in their daily life since they try their best to save money. Some people think it is not good to do so because this may not make people smart consumers. But in my eyes, the advantages of being careful with money in daily life outweigh the disadvantages.Firstly, being careful with money is a virtue that can always benefit people. Being thrifty is of great help, especially when the economic status around the world is not very good and it becomes harder to earn money than before. A good habit of being careful with money will help many people go through this difficult period or any other difficult financial situation in their life. People with this awareness will think carefully before deciding to buy anything. For students, this awareness is also of great help since they mainly depend on their parents forfinancial supports. When they keep this awareness in their mind, they will definitely avoid wasting money.Secondly, being careful with money is, in fact, a good way of practicing how to manage one's money. In current society, it is necessary to learn something about finance. But theories are usually hard to learn. In contrast, most people can learn quickly by practicing. Being careful with money means an efficient use of money, which, in essence, equals to part of the job of a financial planner. Being careful with money can teach people to make best use of their money.It is true that being too careful with money may have some disadvantages; for example, it may cause people to ignore other aspects of commodities. But overall this behavior is good and has its reality basis. Money-consciousness is always needed in the market-oriented economy.3. (2014高三英语综合练习（3）)Potential is limitlessIt‟s universally acknowledged that a person‟s potential is limitless. When ex posed to various pressure or challenges, many people will be sceptical of themselves, thinking they are incapable. Perhaps, never have they realized how powerful a person‟s potential will be.An interesting story will never fade from my memory though I heard of it many years ago. An injured soldier was informed that he would spend his rest life on the wheelchair. Hearing the news, so desperate was he that he drowned sadness in drink every day. It never rains but pours.One day, hardly had he got out of a pub when he was robbed by three guys. Unwilling to give in, he struggled against them, however, which set off the robbers‟ anger and therefore they set fire to his wheelchair. Just when the big fire was endangering his life, he suddenly jumped out of his wheelchair and ran through a whole street swiftly. Then he stopped to take breath, only to find that he should walk and even run normally.The story makes me firmly believe that our potential is limitless. Consequently, it‟s of vital importance for us to spread the wings of our mind and grow our potential to the fullest.4. (2014高三英语综合练习（4）)The writer encountered a little disabled girl when he was working as a cashier in a clinic. The girl‟s smile taught the writer a profound lesson, and inspired him to become successful.After reading the story, I was deeply touched too. I‟m in favor of the idea that when you smile to the world, the world will smile back to you. The story reminds me of my friend Joe, who used to complain a lot when he came across any kind of difficulty or whenever something unpleasant happened to him. Later, Joe‟s classmate sitting next to him in Senior Grade One helped him to change greatly. The classmate was born in a very poor family, but instead of complaining, he always smiled to everybody around and devoted himself to his studies. Ever since he met his deskmate, more and more smiles appeared on Joe‟s face and soon he even made greater progress in his studies.In a word, attitude is everything. Only when we take a correct attitude toward life can we enjoy a better, more meaningful and more beautiful life.5. (2014高三英语综合练习（5）)A life without a goal is a life without hope.As John Ruskin puts it, “Living without an aim is like sailing without a compass”. Goals of life determine what we are going to be.I used to be so addicted to computer games that I had little time for study and thus fell behind. My parents and teachers were greatly worried about me. It was what my English teacher said to me that helped me out. She told me hat I must have my own goal of life, otherwise my future would be hopeless and that playing computer games was fun but it wouldn‟t guarantee me a bright future. I finally realized that I must set up a goal and work hard towards it right away. In the days that followed, whenever I felt tired or had an urge to play computer games,I thought of my goal and soon regain strength.As the saying goes, a life without a goal is a life without hope. Bearing my goal of life in mind, I am always full of energy in my study.6. (2014高三英语综合练习（6）)The writer mainly tells us not only students but also other people would feel stressed on different occasions. Also, he gives some suggestions on how to reduce pressure.As far as I …m concerned, pressure is part of life. It‟s quite natural for us to feel stressed occasionally, at an exam, or when speaking to a stranger. So it‟s of great importance to have a right attitude towards pressure. What we need to do is to relax ourselves and face the challenge positively and initiatively.As Senior 3 students, we have to deal with some grown-up problems and make decisions by ourselves. Family can be one of the biggest causes of stress, such as problems with arguing with parents or brothers or sisters. We also have lots of stress from school, either from our classmates or teachers. However, the greatest pressure comes from study, which worries most of us as the National Matriculation Test is approaching. We also feel stressed about choosing our education after high school or not affording to go to university.In order to reduce pressure, first, a balanced diet and enough sleep are necessary; secondly, I would schedule my study properly so that I can have time to do sports or listen to music; also, friendship, support from my parents and encouragement from my teachers can help me a lot. I would try every means to relax myself and work with high efficiency to achieve my goal.7. (2014高三英语综合练习（7）)This passage lists some of the causes for the decline of Chinese students‟ health and discusses one possible solution to the problem – including P.E. in the Gaokao.In my opinion, it‟s unreasonable to include P.E. in the Gaokao. While students may spend more time doing physical exercise to prepare for the test, this doesn‟t mean they will improve their health. On the contrary, additional test pressure and excessive exercise may make their health worse. Moreover, it‟s unfair to students born with health problems and to those not gifted in sports.It is often said that “a healthy mind needs a healthy body.” With good health, you have enough energy to perform at your best. I think the core issue however is how to get students healthier. Besides a test, I think schools should do things such as stop selling the soft drinks and junk food, as well as give students less homework and more time for outdoor activities.8. (2014高三英语综合练习（8）)From the article, we know a school has set a regulation about civilized communication between boys and girls to prevent students falling in love at an early age, which has caused different opinions.（33 words）In our daily school life some students can‟t resist the opposite gender‟s attraction，disturbing themselves. With such a school rule carried out, it‟s of great help for them to take control of themselves and realize the harm of abnormal communication. Meanwhile, however, it‟s not good for the students‟ emotional development and normal relationship.Personally, I h old a right attitude towards communication with the opposite gender. I‟ll get on well with my classmates no matter whether they are boys or girls, but keeping a certain personal distance is extremely necessary. It‟s of great importance for me to bury mysel f in my school work before I regret only because of my puppy（early）love.9. (2014高三英语综合练习（9）)Dear Peter,I am very glad to receive your letter, in which you asked me about family tradition recently referred to on CCTV and meanwhile among the masses. Different families hold different focuses of family tradition, such as unity, love and care, honesty, diligence, respect and responsibility.Now, I‟d like to introduce ours to you —hard-working, which my family would appreciate permanently. Inthe morning, my grandma usually gets up early, prepares us a good breakfast, and then begins to do other jobs. She works slowly, but always makes everything clean. Under the influence of my grandmother, my mother also does quite well both in her work and at home. Because of this attitude, every year she was titled "outstanding communist." After dinner, she often gives up entertainment, helping our family with housework. It‟s my grandmother and my mother's diligent deeds that make me believe that if there is dirt just mop it repeatedly, never quitting until removing it. I serve as a good help to my teachers and classmates as well as my family. Hardworking has deeply rooted in my heart in the form of invisible power.Family education is an important part of Chinese traditional culture and education. It can be a life of truth; also the principle of doing things. Good family tradition pushes one generation after another to ensure children‟s healthy growth, whose positive energy promotes social progress of civilization.What about your ideas about it? Looking forward to your letter.Yours sincerely,Li Hua10. (2014高三英语综合练习（10）)Patti, at the age of 5, lost her speaking ability accidently. With the help and encouragement of her mother and a doctor, she overcome many difficulties and succeeded in learning languages.I think Patti and her mom‟s attitudes towards illness and misfortune are positive. They tried every means to overcome difficulties, which led to her success at last. We should learn from their strong will and perseverance.As far as I am concerned, difficulties or misfortunes are an unavoidable part of our life. When facing them in real life, we should be brave and positive and determined to overcome them.Once in a school speech contest on environment, I was so nervous that I forgot everything. I lost and felt very sad then. But I didn‟t lose heart. Since then, I have read lots of books about speech skills, and found every chance I could to improve myself, so last month I got No 1 in the school speech contest, which has proved the power of positive attitude towards failure.11. (2014高三英语综合练习（11）)The Development of World Urban PopulationThis chart is cited from the UN report which reviews the "rapid change of urban population in the 20th century". It demonstrates that the rate of population in urban area has witnessed a sharp increase from 13% (0.22 billion) in 1900 to 49% (3. 2 billion) in 2005. It is predicted that the rate will amount to 60% (4. 9 billion) in 2030.There are several factors leading to the rapid development of urban population in the world. Firstly, with the development of economy, many industries have been boomed and prosperous, which attract more skillful workers and employees. Secondly, with the migrant famers pouring into city, the structure of the population has been changed greatly. Thirdly, the industrialization of the rural areas also contributes a lot to the increase of urban population.With the development of science and technology, the city will be developed at a relatively high speed. And with the increasing pace of industrialization both in the city and countryside, the urban population will absolutely become larger and larger.12. (2014高三英语综合练习（12）)Fly Y our DreamLadies and gentlemen,Today I would like to begin my speech with Jia‟s story.Born poor and previously a safety guard at Qinghua University, Jia never gave up on his college dream. By taking advantage of the academic resources at Qinghua, he finally made his way to college last year.Reading this piece of news, I am both shocked and moved. Jia pursued his dream and made achievements despite his disadvantaged financial and occupational background. Among the many reasons why he succeeded, I would point out the role of having a dream as the most critical one. As we can see around us, many would have dropped their dream and thought of themselves as doomed to be underprivileged the whole life, should they be in Jia‟s shoes. Yet that‟s far from the worst case. Take a look around us, and it is not unusual to find students with better family background than Jia but without a dream, spending their youth playing games and surfing the net. In my opinion, they are simply not making their life as worthwhile as a security guard did.Therefore, I would appeal that we all follow the example of Jia, find a dream and fight for it. After all, only if we do have a dream can we fly it and finally realize it!That‟s the end of my speech. Thank you.13. (2014高三英语综合练习（13）)A daughter writes to God recalling her unforgettable past about experiencing the love from her loving, thoughtful, patient and forgiving parents, deciding to follow h er parents‟ perfect example.What a touching letter! Undoubtedly, we all have experienced parents‟ love countless times during the process of our growth. It is they who keep, at all times, focusing their mind and energy on raising us, ensuring our lifelong safety and happiness.We are never short of such stories as parents‟ love. As a child, once I felt terribly sick at midnight. Hearing this, my parents rose immediately and took me to the nearest hospital. Accompanying me by my bed, they didn‟t even sleep a second the whole night.We can never thank our parents enough. Never ever will I let them down from now on. Studying hard is the only way, in my opinion, to express my gratitude to them. Only in this way can I guarantee to live up to their expectations in the future.14. (2014高三英语综合练习（16）)In the cartoon, a senior 3 student is reading in bed and taking some tonics, with many books beside his bed.Seeing it, I can't help wondering whether Senior 3 students should take a lot of tonics to keep fit. I don't think it unnecessary to. Taking tonics will cause us to put on weight, which is bad for our health. What's more, the price of tonics is rather high.Then how can we face the college entrance examinations? In my point, we can make progress if we follow the advice. First of all, we should work hard, do more practice and use our mind whenever we meet with problems. Secondly, try to build up our confidence, never give up or lose heart whatever happens. We also should keep a good state of mind. Thirdly, we must create our own way of learning and seek help from both teachers and classmates. Finally, we should have enough nutrients and do more physical exercise so as to keep fit. Don't stay up!.Make efforts, and we will succeed.15.
