上海中考英语作文2012I woke up early in the morning and felt a surge of excitement running through me. Today was the day of the Shanghai Junior High School Entrance Exam, also known as the Zhongkao. The exam would determine which high school I would attend, and I couldn't help but feel a mixture of nervousness and anticipation.As I entered the exam room, I saw rows of desks and chairs neatly arranged. The atmosphere was tense, with students whispering nervously to each other. Theinvigilators walked around, making sure everyone was seated properly and had all the necessary materials. The clock ticked away, and soon it was time to begin.The first section of the exam was English. I read the comprehension passages carefully and answered the questions to the best of my ability. The next part was grammar, where I had to choose the correct verb tense or fill in the blanks with the appropriate words. It was challenging, butI tried to stay focused and not let the pressure get to me.After the English exam, there was a short break before the math section. I took a deep breath and prepared myself mentally. The math questions were a mix of calculations and problem-solving. Some were straightforward, while others required more critical thinking. I solved each question methodically, double-checking my answers to avoid any careless mistakes.The third section was Chinese, which included reading comprehension and writing. I read the passages carefully, underlining key points and making sure I understood the main ideas. The writing section required me to write an essay on a given topic. I brainstormed ideas quickly and started writing, trying to showcase my language skills and creativity.Finally, the exam was over. I felt a mix of relief and exhaustion. It had been a long and challenging day, but I knew I had given it my all. Now, all that was left was to wait for the results.In the following days, I couldn't help but replay the exam in my mind. I wondered if I had answered all the questions correctly or if I had made any silly mistakes. The uncertainty was nerve-wracking, but I tried to stay positive and focus on other things to distract myself.A few weeks later, the results were announced. I held my breath as I scanned the list, searching for my name. And there it was, my hard work had paid off. I had achieved a score that allowed me to enter one of the top high schools in Shanghai.I felt a sense of accomplishment and relief wash over me. The months of preparation and dedication had paid off, and I was excited for the next chapter of my academic journey.

2012上海英语中考作文

2012上海英语中考作文As the world progresses, technology has become an integral part of our daily lives, and this includes the realm of education. In my opinion, the integration of technology into the classroom has had a profound impact on the way we learn and interact with knowledge.Firstly, technology has made information more accessible than ever before. With the internet at our fingertips, we can now research and find answers to our questions in a matter of seconds. This has not only made the learning process more efficient but also encouraged us to be more proactive in our learning journey.Secondly, the use of digital tools such as educational software and applications has transformed the way we engage with educational content. Interactive lessons and multimedia presentations have made learning more dynamic and lessreliant on traditional textbooks. This has been particularly beneficial for visual and auditory learners, who can now better connect with the material being taught.However, the reliance on technology also presents some challenges. One of the main concerns is the potential for distraction. With so many digital devices in the classroom, it can be difficult for students to stay focused on the task at hand. Additionally, there is the issue of digital divide, where not all students have equal access to technology, whichcan lead to disparities in educational opportunities.In conclusion, while technology has brought about significant positive changes in education, it is important for educators and students to be mindful of the potential drawbacks. It is crucial to find a balance that maximizes the benefits of technology while minimizing its negative impacts. As a student, I am excited about the possibilities that technology offers, but I also recognize the need for responsible and thoughtful use of these tools in the learning environment.。

Oh, you’ve got the flu! Late autumn and early winter is flu season. The flu is annoying. It takes weeks to get over. It prevents us from concentrating (集中注意) in class and having fun on the playground. So can we do anything to prevent it?Can exercise help our body fight off a cold or flu? This is a good question, but not easy to answer. There isn’t any research addressing this question. There was one small study among college students. But it did not show any difference in the body’s response (反应) to flu vaccine (流感疫苗) between students who exercised and those who did not. Exercise at the start of a cold or flu is unlikely to change the course of the illness.On the other hand, a person who exercises often will be in better physical condition. They will be more energetic. They may sleep more soundly and therefore be better rested, and may feel happier and less stressed by a cold or flu. So regular exercise is likely to help a person fight off colds and the flu.Because the flu and colds are caused by viruses, frequent hand-washing, keeping your hands away from your face, and avoiding contact with infected (被感染的) people will all help to prevent infection. Smoking makes a person more easily infected by viruses, so avoiding smoke is another way to be protected.74. _______________is flu season.A) Early spring and late autumn B) Late autumn and early winterC) Early autumn and late winter D) Late winter and early spring75.

Though I tried my best to recite the passages and spell new expressions,it was still difficult for me to communicate with the native speakers and understand some long sentences in newspaper articles.With the tips from my English teacher, I was determined to listen to the English programmes over the radio every day and follow it to practice my spoken English. Meanwhile, I picked up some key words to guess the meanings in the context and looked up them in the dictionary later. “Practice makes perfect”. All these practice helps to improve English in a short time.When I found my English was not what it used to be, I felt very excited. Now I think if a good way is matered, it will not difficult for anyone to improve English.2012上海初三中考英语作文范文（6）Describe how you did something successfully. The title of thestory is “A Success Story of My Own”.I was not very good at sports. Last summer some friends of mine went to swim one afternoon. I went with them and saw what fun it was to jump into the water in the hot sun. Then I made up my mind to learn how to swim. Jimmy gave me some advice. She said, “Why not join the morning training course in the swimming pool? But you have to get up a bit earlier. It begins at 6:30. They have very good coaches there.” I was glad to take her advice, though I used to stay in bed in the morning. I was sure nothing could stop me. I went to the training course the very next day. Learning to swim was no easy job for me. It took me quite some time to pick up enough courage to jump into water for the first day. I worked very hard, overcoming difficulties one after another. My coach was kind and patient. When I had learned the movements of the feet and hands and how to move them in harmony, I began to learn how to breathe in water. It proved the hardest thing in the world. The coach showed me many times, but every time I tried I swallowed water instead of fresh air. I didn’t give up, keeping trying until suddenly I found I could. I succeeded!2012上海初三中考英语作文范文（7）Use the following points as a guideMy WishWhat is you wish? (what do you want to be in the future? What do you want to have one day?)Why is it you wish?What will you do to make your wish come true?My wish is to be teacher when I grow up because both my parents are teachers. My father teaches Chinese and my mother is teacher of English. So I am growing up on the school campus. I almost know every teacher in the school. They all like me and some of them say I should do something else when I grow up. However, I still want to be a teacher like my parents and have students all over the country because I like children. Of course I must study hard and do well in all the subjects. Thus I can enter a normal university after I finish my middle school.。

Billions of people learn about news stories of their own country and 52 the world every day, either by watching TV or reading newspapers. Newspapers have been an important 53 of everyday life since the 18th century. Many countries have hundreds of different newspapers. How do newspaper editors （编辑）decide which newsstories to print?

When one excuse oneself and leaves the table for a few minutes, one should leave one‟s napkin on one‟s chair. When one is finished with one‟s meal and is leaving the table, one should 81 one‟s napkin to the right of one‟s plate.What was napkin etiquette like before it developed into what it is today? In ancient Egyptian, Greek and Roman times, the etiquette was quite different. Napkins were much 82 . Often, they were as large as bath towels. Banquets （宴会）usually lasted for hours, and people ate with their hands. Although finger bowls filled with83 would sometimes be available, the large napkins were necessary if one wanted to stay reasonably clean.A second use for the napkin developed in the sixth century B.C. Roman society. At thattime, 84 were expected to take food home. The uneaten food was wrapped up and carried in one‟s napkin. It was considered not polite to leave empty-handed.Napkin size changed 85 with an invention. The invention that caused this size change was the fork. Since people began to use forks, their hands no longer get as dirty as before. Although napkins became smaller in size, many Europeans did not use them. The custom was to wipe one‟s hands on the tablecloth. At that time, tablecloths were so large that one could use a part of it to cover one‟s lap. Covering one‟s lap with the tablecloth served two purposes （目的）. One could wipe one‟s hands on it, and one could protect his lap from getting dirty.（）80.

Sneakers, of course! Almost everybody o86 at least one pair of sneakers. But, how many people know the history of the sneaker?Sneakers were first introduced around the b87 of the 20th century. The sneaker was invented when a shoe company glued a piece of rubber to the shoeshop. They called it an athletic （运动的）shoe.In 1917, U.S. Rubber sold athletic shoes called Keds. The shoes became known as “sneakers,” because they were so q88 that you could sneak up on （偷偷接近）people while wearing them. For many years, sneakers only came in one c89 choice –and it wasn‟t white. They were brown with black bottoms.The way sneakers looked changed in the early 1960s. A runner named Phil Knight and his coach, Bill Bowerman, decided to make them b90 . They made some experiments to find a light, comfortable athletic shoe, and went into the sneaker business.One day, Bowerman stuck a piece of rubber into a waffle maker （华夫饼干制造器）. W91 he heated it up, the iron made a pattern of criss-crosses （十字图案）in the rubber. Bowerman was inspired to use this on the sole （鞋底）of a shoe to give the shoe traction（摩擦力）and a lighter weight. He knew that this rubber wouldn‟t slip on the gym floor.The two men named their shoes Nike, after a Greek goddess. Nike was a symbol of victory. From then o92 , Nike shoes became winners, too. They were sold in many different colors and styles and have sold millions and millions all around the world.86. o__________ 87. b__________ 88. q__________ 89. c__________90. b__________ 91.

But I’ve discovereda way to experience the thrill(兴奋，紧张) of climbing rock. Indoor climbing is an easy and excitingway to get a taste of rock climbing. And it is also much cheaper and safer! Indoor climbers don’tclimb on real rock, but on a plastic wall. You can probably find a climbing wall near you. Many gyms,schools and camps have one.You can climb in doors at any time of the year, no matter how the whether is. It is usually notexpensive. Most gyms provide the equipment you need. The convenience of indoor climbing isone reason why it has become so popular. But the main reason people climb is for rush(刺激感) they get. When I stand at the roof of the wall and look up, I’m always scared, but once I start climbing, fear changes to determination. With my heart pounding(心剧烈跳动), I reach the top and look down. I can’t stop grinning. I did it!Indoor climbing is a great workout(锻炼). Climbing uses muscles(肌肉)that are hard to exercise, especially those in the shoulders, arms, chest and back. Many people say climbing makes exercise fun. Most gyms have several climbing walls with various degrees of difficulty. The easier ones are like climbing a ladder. The difficult ones bulge out(凸出)in places so that climbers must sometimes climb parallel(平行的)with the floor.Although gym climbing is easier and safer than real rock climbing, you should still be careful. Always climb with a partner. As you climb, your partner pulls you climbing rope through something called a belay device(绳索控制器). The belay catches you if you slip. But make sure your partner knows how to use this equipment. And if you are a first-timeclimber, get some instruction before you begin.93.

Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题): (12分)This letter was sent to a newspaper in Germany.13 October Dear EditorI am writing to ask what has happened to our youth. They are not as polite, hard-working or clever as my generation.I will give you two examples.Last Friday, I got on the underground at 9.15 a.m. It was very busy so there were no free seats. There were some teenagers sitting on the seats nearest me. I don’t know why they were not at school. They were talking loudly and laughing. It was difficult to read my newspaper with all the noise. A heavily pregnant(怀孕的)woman and her daughter got on at the next stop, with lots of shopping bags. I expected the teenagers to let them sit down. They saw the woman but did nothing. I had to ask them to give her a seat. They reluctantly(勉强地)did so but gave me a rude look. I got off at the next stop and was glad that the teenagers didn’t follow me.Last Saturday, I had dinner with my friend’s family. I was looking forward to meeting his children, who I hadn’t seen for ten years. During dinner, we started talking about world po litics. It soon became clear that they didn’t know much. They couldn’t tell me the name of the King of Spain or the President of Italy. All they knew about was the internet and which singers were the most beautiful. In my day, students knew the kings, queens and presidents of every country in Europe.I worry about the future of Germany. How could these young people become responsible workers and parents? They sit around Mcdonald’s after school instead of going to the library like I did at their age. Maybe t hey have too much money. Perhaps another reader can give us an idea about what to do with this ‘lost generation’.Franz V ogtsHamburg93. Who was the letter sent to?It was sent to ____________ of a newspaper in Germany.94.

To my surprise, he played nearly 80 percent correct," said the father. He used to think that 3 years old is too young an age to learn piano, but Niu Niu changed his mind. He continued to allow Niu Niu to watch his teaching of other students and gave him more sheet music to play.Playing for funZhang started teaching Niu Niu standard piano lessons when he was four. Unlike many other piano teachers, Zhang didn’t insist that Niu Niu play strictly with the correct finger positioning(指法). He said that the strict finger positioning would rob some kids of fun of playing. So Niu Niu could play in his own way. He could play the tone successfully. But Niu Niu was required to play the music without looking at the sheet music. Now he can memorize about 80 pages.

It was nice to go on holiday and not have to make up on the SPF50 and sit under an umbrella with three caps on," Tom said.For all the fame and wealth that Harry Potter has brought its young stars, there have been plenty of downsides, too.Tom is now 23 but talks like he is ten years older, and his co-stars have been working since they were young children. And while he says he has no regrets about being in the movies, he also says that at the same time he had to grow up fast."One thing that people keep on saying to me is that the wealth and the fame must have made up fax missing out on my childhood," he says. "But the idea of money ---putting a price on your childhood--- is ridiculous(可笑的). You will never get those years back. Don't you think you can put a price on them?""And to me, fame is not a positive thing. The idea of being famous is a lot better than the reality."The youngest of four brothers brought up in a middle-class home in Epsom, Surrey, he honestly says that no one in the family knew what to do with all the money he was making.
