Most importantly, all along China has relied heavily on homegrown technology. The Shenzhou-7 mission marks a historic breakthrough in China’s manned space program. It represents the comprehensive strength of our nation. 热点2:北京奥运经过运动员们16天的激烈拼搏,第29 届奥运会于日在北京落下帷幕.中国运动员发挥出色,获得了51枚金牌,为中国赢得了巨大的荣誉.奥运会期间,有很多值得我们回味的地方.你作为一名中学生—李华,围绕奥运会对人类的影响,谈一下自己的看法,题目自拟.注意:词数120左右.What a Great Olympic Games!The 29th Olympic Games has been over in Beijing, China on August 24,2008, which has left a great impression on the whole world. About 204 countries and regions attended the Olympic Games. In the Games, our Chinese athletes have won 51 gold medals, while America,36; Russia,23. This is the first time that we, Chinese athletes have won so many gold medals in one Olympic Games, which means our sports games belong to the first class in the world!It is our athletes’ intelligence and other qualities that have won the great honor for us Chinese all! Days when we were looked down upon have gone forever! From the very Games, we have proved that our government has the ability to hold the Olympic Games successfully! Not only can we hold the Olympic Games well, but also we can perform well. The fact has showed everything to the world! It is the successful 29th Olympic Games that destroys the saying of those who doubted about it days ago! What a great, successful and impressive Olympic Games! 热点3: 刘翔退赛在2008年北京奥运会上,中国著名运动员刘翔因腿伤退出比赛,引起人们的广泛争议,下面是新浪网站的一项调查: 运动员受伤后,应该坚持还是应该退出?
请你结合上表,写一篇英语短文,谈谈自己的看法.In the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games Chinese athlete Liu Xiang dropped out of the race due to his foot injury, which led to a heated discussion among people across the country.According to a survey conducted by Sina Website, about 34% of the people think an athlete should quit the race when injured since health is much more importa While nearly 20% of the netizens believe that an injured athlete should hold on to the end instead of giving up halfway. They regard the sport field as a battlefield in which every athlete should fight for the honor of his or her country in spite of any difficulty.In my opinion, it’s a right choice for Liu Xiang to choose to quit the race. For one thing, nothing is more important than health and sports doesn’t mean sacrificing one’s hea for another, after Liu Xiang recovers fully, he still has many chances to realize his dream. 热点4：奥运会获奖运动员的高薪问题近几年，奥运会获奖运动员的高薪问题引起了广泛的社会关注。有些人支持这种做法，认为运动员们付出了很多努力，应该得到回报；有些人则持反对意见。请你就此写一篇100词左右的英语短文并发表自己的看法。In recent years, the topic whether it is fair for athletes to pocket large sums of money has aroused more and more discussion.Those who support giving sportsmen high salaries think that athletes have won a great reputation for our country in the Olympic Games. What’s more, athletes must undergo painstaking physical and psychological training. Besides, they offer a lot of encouragement to young people to take part in physical activities.However, some people have different ideas. They consider that athletes do little to boost the national economy directly. Thus they should not receive so much money.I believe that they should get high salaries, considering all the efforts they have made. 热点5：高三备考复习效率在紧张的高三备考阶段，英语老师为了提高复习效率，广泛征求学生意见。假如你叫张华，请根据以下提示，给英语老师写封信，表达你们的需求和建议。●适当放慢进度，留出思考时间●反复训练重要、易错知识点●指导方法●减少作业量以保证质量●给予更多鼓励注意：1.根据以上内容写一篇短文，不要逐句翻译，可适当增加细节以使行文连贯。2.要准确使用语法和词汇；使用一定的句型、词汇，清楚、连贯地表达自己的意思；3. 词数：100个左右。开头已给出，不计词数。Dear Mr. Wang,We’re so pleased that you are willing to share our views.In the course of the general revision, what we need is solid foundation. As you know, we didn’t learn well enough in the first two years, so please slow down and make sure we have really mastered something. Besides, we need a little more time to think for ourselves. As for those important points which also make us confused, would you please give us more practice in case we forget? Meanwhile, we need your instruction, for example, in how to write in natural English. I still have another request: assign us less homework in order that we can do it more efficiently.By the way, we often feel frustrated, which has a very bad effect on our study. We would appreciate it if you would give us some encouragement from time to time. 热点6：高考状元与广告高考过后，总有一些学习用品商家千方百计在高考状元身上下工夫，让状元们说是使用过他们的产品后才取得了优异成绩。请你用英语写一篇100词左右的短文，谈谈自己的看法。内容应包括以下要点：1. 简要描述这种现象； 2. 给状元们提一点建议。注意：1. 可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。2. 参考词汇：状元 Number One Scholar；产品 product；适合suitableAfter the college entrance exams, some companies that sell learning products are always trying to do anything they can to make full use of Number One Scholars in order to sell their products.In fact, it’s not easy for students to become Number One Scholars. Most of them succeed not because of the products, but their proper way of learning and hard work. Every student has his own way of studying, so the Number One Scholars’ experience may not be suitable for all the students. Most important of all, not all of these products are good enough to help us study.I do hope that Number One Scholars can think of the poor students instead of themselves only. 热点7：三鹿奶粉事件近期，“三鹿奶粉事件”吵得沸沸扬扬。经相关部门调查，发现三鹿牌婴幼儿配方奶粉里有一种对婴儿有害的物质三聚氢胺。到目前为止，奶粉污染事件已导致4名婴儿死亡，约5,4000名婴儿染病。假如你是一名记者，请你对这一事件做一下简要介绍并发表自己今后对如何确保食品安全的看法。字数130左右。Recently, the incident of Sanlu milk powder has become the focus of people’s attention. According to the investigation of related departments, the powder was found to contain a chemical called C3N6H6 which can cause great damage to infants’ health. So far, four children have died and approximately 54,000 have developed illness after drinking the milk.From this incident, we can see that there are still more things to be done. Firstly, the government needs everything possible to ensure the quality of products, particularly the safety of food as this concerns everyone's life. Secondly, as for the producers, it is very important for them to be morally honest. They should never try to pursue profit or economic growth at the expense of health and life of people. Thirdly, we consumers must attach importance to the things we eat and develop an awareness of how to protect our legal rights if cheated. Only in this way will we be able to build a more secure and harmonious society. 热点8：可持续发展可持续发展已成为全球共识，如何实行可持续发展是摆在世人面前的重大问题。请就下面表格所提供的内容进行陈述并谈谈你的看法。 注意：1．不要逐条翻译。2. 可适当发挥3. 词数：120左右4. 文章的开头部分以给出参考词汇：差距 gap

First, natural resources are becoming less than before. Second, as some people are not aware of the importance of the environmental protection, the problems with it remain extremely serious to some degree. The gap between the rich and the poor has the tendency to become wider and wider.To our great joy, many countries have taken action. On one hand, they have made relevant laws and regulations and put large amounts of money to the environmental protection. One the other hand, popularized education as well as international cooperation is being carried out.As for myself, I should take the responsibility to devote myself to sustainable development, our future and the lives of our children and our grandchildren will be in danger. 9.

It’s a real success.With the development of the economy, more and more families have bought private cars, thus leading to much heavier traffic problems and more serious air pollution. Therefore, I think it’s necessary to launch such campaigns. And I hope more and more cities and their residents will take part in this type of activity.

Tom and his parents differ in their wishes about his future.Firstly I have some suggestions for Mary. From your call, I know you don’t approve of your family rules. I suggest that you have an honest talk with your parents because if you exchange opinions, then you will understand each other better. As for Tom, I think you can tell your parents what you are interested in and tell them interest is the mother of success and you will try your best to achieve your goal. I believe they will agree with your opinion sooner or later. Good luck!( 20:35:24) 11. 据《中国青年报》报道，浙江省高中生从新学期开始必须选修一门新课程，如修马桶、做凳子、换灯泡等日常生活实用技术。对此，绝大多数人认为很有必要，但也有人持怀疑态度。现在请你用英语写一篇120词左右的短文，简要介绍该相关报道和双方观点，并谈谈你的看法。下表是双方主要观点：大多数人赞成:

On the other hand, some people are concerned about it. They think that this course will be a new burden to fall on students.

China warned Somali pirates on Tuesday it was prepared to use force when its navy ships arrive in the Gulf of Aden to combat a wave of piracy that has disrupted international shipping, AFP reported.中国警告索马里海盗，称其海军舰艇将奔赴亚丁湾。中国已做好使用武力的准备，来打击扰乱国际海运的海盗行为。
Two Chinese destroyers and a supply ship set sail on Friday -- the first time in recent history that the nation has deployed ships on a potential combat mission well beyond its territorial waters.中国2艘驱逐舰以及一艘补给舰将于周五启航——这是中国历史上首次将其军舰部署在领海之外，执行可能的战斗行动。China would also be willing to provide rescue and aid services to Taiwan-owned ships as long as they registered with the mainland, he said.中国将很乐意为在大陆注册的台湾船只提供援助。About 100 ships -- seven of them Chinese -- have been attacked by Somali pirates since the beginning of the year.今年年初以来，约有100多条船——有7艘是中国船只——遭到了索马里海盗的袭击。At least one Chinese vessel is believed still to be in the hands of the attackers.至少有一艘中国船只已确定落入了袭击者之手。The UN Security Council last week gave nations a one-year mandate to act inside lawless Somalia to stop the rampant piracy in the Gulf of Aden.上周，联合国安理会授权各国在混乱的索马里水域采取行动，遏制亚丁湾猖獗的海盗袭击( 20:41:21) 13. 目前，每个城市每天都产生大量垃圾，垃圾分类刻不容缓。请根据下表，写一篇英语短文。严峻形势:每天产生大量垃圾，已成为令每个城市头疼的问题。垃圾分类意义：1. 减少垃圾量和垃圾对环境的污染；2. 回收资源，有利于环境保护。呼吁：政府应采取有效措施，在公共场所放置垃圾箱供市民投放不同的垃圾。 注意：1. 词数：100左右；2. 内容可适当发挥，注意行文连贯；3. 参考词汇： 垃圾分类 rubbish classificationOne possible version:Society produces a lot of rubbish, such as leftover food, waste paper, plastic bottles and batteries every day.

I think rubbish classification is a good way of dealing with it.Firstly, rubbish classification can reduce the amount of rubbish and the rubbish pollution to the environment. What is more, it can recycle resources, which will do good to our environmental protection.Since rubbish classification has so many advantages, our government should take effective measures and immediate actions. Different dustbins should be placed in public places so that residents can leave their sorted rubbish in them.( 20:45:05) 14. 据报道，某校的几个学生在宿舍开了一家超市，由于物品价格低廉，受到很多学生的欢迎。人们对此议论纷纷，褒贬不一。请你根据下表提示，用英语写一篇短文。赞成的理由:

Besides, it may have a negative effect on their own study.As far as I’m concerned, they can stick to their choice so long as they obey the school rules and concentrate their attention on study. ( 20:48:48) 2009高考英语备考要诀提高复习效率，保证复习质量，是很多同学头疼的问题，在埋头复习的时候，还应该处理好几个关系：1、工夫和功夫现在高考特别强调以能力立意命题，注意对学生理论联系实际和创新意识的考查。由此，同学们的功夫要想达到高考所需要的高度，单纯地靠拼时间、搞题海、死记硬背等做法已不适应新的考试要求。所以，同学们不能只以学了多长时间为目的，而是要看有多少是有效时间，更要看是否在能力上有所提高。当然，功夫是要有工夫做保障的，所以，要想学习好，就不能偷懒，就要多学多练。而且，要学得聪明，要反思自己的学习，要问一问自己学得是否有长进？对自己的弱科弱项是否有主动补习的计划？是否充分利用了学习资源等等。2、做题和写题同学们每天都忙于做题，但往往只重数量却忽视了质量，只关注会做不会做、结果对不对，却忽视了其他更加重要的，比如书写、思路的总结。书写规范也是思维能力和逻辑推理能力的体现，对提高理性解题能力非常有帮助。由于同学们使用的教辅资料预留书写空间太少，要尽量主动选择一些题目规规矩矩书写解答过程。建议每科自备一个“好题本”，将经典题目及其解答过程规范书写下来，并经常翻看此本，定会受益匪浅。平时还要多看一些有详尽解答过程的例题。先独立念题、审题、分析，找出解题路径，然后和答案对照。对一些典型例题不能只满足于看明白，要独立默写出解答过程，这样既可以培养书写能力又可培养对题目背景深刻理解的能力，还是检验是否真会的有效措施。3、听明白和想明白
许多同学常苦恼于课上听老师讲得很明白，可一到自己做题怎么就不会了呢？事实上，听得明白是你在老师一步一步的引领下明白的，这并不是你自己真实能力的体现，更不代表你已经具备了解决这些问题的能力。因此，要想提高分析问题解决问题的能力，就必须在“听明白”的基础上进一步去“想明白”。“听明白”只能说你被别人说服了，而“想明白”是自己说服自己，是真正弄明白，想明白更是对基础知识和基本技能进行加工、浓缩、提炼、升华，形成综合能力的关键。
所以，课上要积极思考，课下要及时再想一想。 选校网
