高中英语优秀作文赏读

GAOZHONGYINGYUYOUXIUZUOWENSHANGDU

尤溪县第七中学编

二0一六年一月

序言

从所周知：大量的英语阅读能提升和活用我们的英语。

第一：VocabularyExpansion

扩大词汇量

你读的越多，获得的词汇就越多，这样就不可避免的会增加你的日常词汇量。学习新

语言，阅读也是个不可或缺的。这样非母语的学生才能了解语境中单词的使用，促使自己

在口语和写作中更加自然流畅。

第二：BetterWritingSkills

提升写作水平

这和扩大词汇量有着异曲同工之效:多看那些出版的好作品能对一个人的写作产生重

大影响，观察韵律、流畅度以及其他作家的写作风格都会深深的影响到你自己。这就和音

乐家之间的影响一样，画家也会被各类名家的绘画技巧所感染，所以看别人的书也会影响

到读者的写作风格。

本教材精选了各地优秀的英语范文，引领学生精读，背诵。对于一些不熟悉的词汇和

短语，通过老师讲解或查字典，学习中能整理出范文内容纲要，将纲要熟记，然后模仿,

达到熟能生巧。

第一课：Never,NeverGiveUp

永不放弃

Weoftenhearpeoplesay,“Nevergiveup."Thesecanbeencouragingwords

andwordsofdetermination.Apersonwhobelievesinthemwillkeeptryingtoreach

hisgoalnomatterhowmanytimeshefails.Inmyopinion,thequalityof

第二课：LearningaboutLife

学习人生

•Aswegrow,welearnmanythingsaboutlife.Someoftheselessons

areeasyandsomearedifficult.Whatisthebestwaytolearnthem?Some

believethattheycanlearnbestbylisteningtotheadviceofothers,while

somepeoplebelievethatitisbettertolearnthroughpersonalexperience.

Bothmethodshavetheiradvantages.

在成长过程中，我们会学到生活中的许多事情。其中有些教训很简单，而有

些却很困难。什么是获取教训最好的方法？有些人认为，他们可以通过听取别人的

建议而获得最好的学习效果，而有些人却认为最好是通过亲身体验来学习。这两种

方法各有优点。

•Inthefirstcase,learningbylisteningtoothers,wehavethe

benefitoflearningfromothers?mistakesandarethusbeingabletoavoid

themourselves.Wecantakeadvantageoftheexperienceandwisdomofour

friendsandfamily.Thiswillhelpustomakebetterdecisionsandavoid

costlyerrors.Furthermore,thepeoplewhoknowuswellcanadviseus

effectivelybecausetheyunderstandourstrengthsandweaknesses.Atthe

sametime,theyaresometimesabletoseesituationsmoreobjectivelythan

weare.

第一种方法是听取别人的建议而学习，因为我们可以从别人所犯过的错误中

学习，避免再犯相同的错误。我们还可以利用家人和朋友的经验或智慧来帮助我们

做出更好的决定，避免犯下代价高昂的错误。止匕外，因为他们了解我们，知道我们

的优缺点，所以能提供有用的建议。同时，他们对于事情的看法有时比我们客观。

•Inthesecondcase,learningthroughdoing,wehavetheadvantage

ofgainingmeaningfulexperience.Wewillnodoubtbetterrememberthe

lessonswelearnwhenweenjoytherewardsorsuffertheconsequences

ourselves.Moreover,wecanoftendevelopotherskillsthroughpersonal

experienceandcanlearnfromourmistakes.

第二种方法是从做中学，这样我们可以因为得到宝贵的经验而获益。毫无疑

问，当我们因为自己所做的事情而享受成果或承担后果时，我们会对这些教训记忆

得更加深刻。止匕外，通过亲身体验，可以培养其他的技巧，而且也能从错误中学习。

•Finally,notwopeopleareexactlyalike.Therefore,whatfamily

andfriendsthinkmaybesuitableforthem,butnotappropriateforus.

最后，没有两个人是完全相同的，因此，家人或朋友的想法也许只适合他们

自己，不见得适合我们。

•Givenachoicebetweenthesetwowaysoflearningaboutlife,Iwould

stillchoosetheformer,learningthroughtheadviceofothers.Thisis

becauseIbelieveIshouldtakeadvantageofalltheresourcesavailable,

andtheexperiencesofmyfamilyandfriendsareavaluableresource.For

example,ifIwerepreparingtotakemyfirsttripabroadonmyown,the

adviceofotherswhohavealreadyexperiencedsuchatripcouldonlyhelp

me.Justaswecanlearnfromhistory,wecanlearnfromthepastactions

ofthoseclosetous.

若要我从这两种学习人生的方法中选一个，我仍然会选择前者，也就是从别

人的建议中学习。因为我认为，应该利用所有可获得的资源，而家人与朋友的经验

就是宝贵的资源。例如，如果我初次要准备自己出国旅行，那么有类似出国旅行经

验的人所提供的建议对我就很有帮助。正如我们能从历史中学习一样，我们也能从

周围的人的经验中学习。

•Inconclusion,Ifindadvantagesinbothwaysoflearning.Although

Iprefertolearnbylisteningtotheadviceofothers,thatdoesnotmean

Iwillforgolearningthroughmyownexperiences.Itdoesmean,however,

thatIwillapproachnewexperienceswiththeaddedbenefitofmyfamily

andfriends'goodadvice.

总之，我认为这两种学习方法各有优点。尽管我比较喜欢听取别人的建议，

但这不表示我就不会亲身去体验。然而，这确实意味着我除了会体验新的经验，同

时还要听取家人与朋友提供的忠告，这样才能获得更大的益处。

第三课：Learningbydoing

从做中学

【中文提示】

★实践是最有效的学习方法

★理由：能记忆犹新；比理论知识更有用；能从中吸取教训

★通过实践获得的知识有意义，所涉及的知识面更广泛

第四课：ChoosingFriends

选择朋友

Somepeopleprefertomakefriendswithpeoplewhoareverylikethem;others

preferfriendswhoareverydifferent.Eachofthetwokindsoffriendshiphas

文章大意：本文是一篇记叙文。介绍了两种友谊的好处：一是相似的人成为朋友；而是迥

异的人成为朋友。

第五课：SavetheForests

拯救森林
