4、ogressing with the strong will and diligence towards the right direction, youll be the one!【作文解析】這是一篇議論文。作者首先提出問(wèn)題”what is success?”,但并沒(méi)有在這個(gè)問(wèn)題上著更多的筆墨，而是直接引出了自己的觀點(diǎn)：success is doing something one really feels like doing. 算是立意較為新穎的地方。隨后在第二段對(duì)這種成功背后的三種必要條件做出了闡述。整體看，行文流暢，用語(yǔ)規(guī)范地道。本篇亮點(diǎn)：1. 排比詞組或句子的運(yùn)用：Success i

6、，有些又以第三人稱指代，建議統(tǒng)一。2. 結(jié)構(gòu)上，一般情況下我們建議考生使用典型的“三段式”，即，提出問(wèn)題、分析問(wèn)題、解決問(wèn)題。該作者基本上遵循了這個(gè)原則，但第三段更多的卻是重復(fù)了第二段的中心思想，并沒(méi)有起到很好的總結(jié)作用。如果第三段，作者可以與第一段的“成功定義”相呼應(yīng)，例如：即使沒(méi)有這些身外之物，但心靈上的滿足，夢(mèng)想的實(shí)現(xiàn)，才是我心中成功的本質(zhì)。整體看，文章在語(yǔ)言表達(dá)和立意上還不錯(cuò)。但在文章結(jié)構(gòu)上有些松散，有待提高?！靖叻职妗縏he Way to Success First essaystream of thought typeThe Way to SuccessGenius is one

10、a way.【作文解析】本次六級(jí)考試作文題為T(mén)he way to success，與本次四級(jí)考試作文Nothing succeeds without a strong will遙相呼應(yīng)，大同小異，都是在討論成功這一話題。此次六級(jí)考試作文的話題依然是老生常談，即通往成功的道路，相信很多考生對(duì)此并不陌生，背過(guò)范文的同學(xué)寫(xiě)起來(lái)肯定也是得心應(yīng)手。該范文段落結(jié)構(gòu)清晰，闡釋說(shuō)理也足以讓人信服，是一篇不錯(cuò)的作文。開(kāi)篇作者通過(guò)引用愛(ài)迪生關(guān)于天才的一句名言來(lái)引出問(wèn)題，吸引讀者注意，引起讀者的思考。緊隨其后，作者就開(kāi)門(mén)見(jiàn)山地亮出了自己的觀點(diǎn)：只有堅(jiān)強(qiáng)的意志和不懈的努力才能打開(kāi)成功的大門(mén)。第二段，作者同樣以一個(gè)問(wèn)題

11、來(lái)引領(lǐng)全段，引發(fā)思考。然后通過(guò)對(duì)比不成功和最終成功的人的不同表現(xiàn)，來(lái)闡釋堅(jiān)強(qiáng)的意志對(duì)獲得成功的重要作用。第三段，作者進(jìn)一步闡釋“僅有堅(jiān)強(qiáng)的意志，沒(méi)有實(shí)在的努力，也能成功嗎？”同樣是先發(fā)問(wèn)，然后舉了愛(ài)迪生的事例，來(lái)證明答案是否定的。舉名人的例子，而非個(gè)人的實(shí)例來(lái)作為文章的論據(jù)才更有說(shuō)服力，這也是這篇作文的高明之處。最后一段，作者先以第一句話進(jìn)行了總結(jié)，然后為了加強(qiáng)作文結(jié)尾的力度，作者還對(duì)名言“Where there is a will, there is way”進(jìn)行了改編，換成了自己的觀點(diǎn)，為我所用，這也是本篇范文的一個(gè)兩點(diǎn)之處。注意，寫(xiě)作文時(shí)對(duì)名言進(jìn)行恰當(dāng)?shù)馗木帲粌H能體現(xiàn)幽默創(chuàng)新的一面，同

How about a 40% cut in fee, or a free repeat campaign?M: Well, lets take a break, were not getting very far. Perhaps we should think about this.【材料評(píng)析】這篇對(duì)話是圍繞一次商業(yè)活動(dòng)的推廣是否延期和如何收費(fèi)的討論。對(duì)話中，女士否決了延期四周這個(gè)提議

49、。理由是這次的活動(dòng)已經(jīng)錯(cuò)過(guò)了兩個(gè)重要的商業(yè)活動(dòng)事件，而且也沒(méi)有在重要雜志上打廣告。而男士則堅(jiān)持要求延期，并表示：活動(dòng)被耽擱的原因是女士所在公司沒(méi)有及時(shí)給出對(duì)廣告的修改。而男士認(rèn)為是女士所在公司提交細(xì)節(jié)修改建議太晚而導(dǎo)致耽擱。女士堅(jiān)持無(wú)需延期，且不應(yīng)延期，而應(yīng)定為活動(dòng)失敗。因此，女士向男士的公司提出降低收費(fèi)或者明年免費(fèi)為她們公司做活動(dòng)的要求。最后，男士提出延期四周并給出20%的降價(jià)?？上咳匀灰蟾偷?0%的降價(jià)和下一期的免費(fèi)活動(dòng)推廣。而男士提出還需再議。顯然，他對(duì)此提議并不表示贊同。這篇文章總體不難，考查文章大意。而文章本身圍繞是否延期和如何收費(fèi)這個(gè)中心討論點(diǎn)展開(kāi)，沒(méi)有較生僻的詞匯。但值得

50、注意的是，考生需要通過(guò)對(duì)話推知談話者的身份，并對(duì)說(shuō)話者的語(yǔ)氣和話外音所包含的內(nèi)容有所把握。另外，這是一篇在真實(shí)的商務(wù)談判場(chǎng)景中會(huì)經(jīng)常出現(xiàn)的狀況?？忌⒁馄綍r(shí)對(duì)商業(yè)和商務(wù)常識(shí)方面的知識(shí)積累，會(huì)對(duì)把握整個(gè)聽(tīng)力對(duì)話的大意很有幫助。22: What do we learn about the mans company?23: Why was the campaign delayed according to the man?24: What does the woman propose as a solution to the problem?25: What does the man suggest

56、e obtained totally different moral standards【材料評(píng)析】本篇文章主要是講述人們對(duì)待老鼠不同的道德態(tài)度。同是一個(gè)實(shí)驗(yàn)室里面老鼠，如果是為了人類(lèi)實(shí)驗(yàn)做貢獻(xiàn)，就是人們眼中的好老鼠；而一旦老鼠從實(shí)驗(yàn)室里面跑出來(lái)，攜帶病菌危害到了人類(lèi)健康，那么這些逃跑掉的老鼠就成為了人們眼中的壞老鼠。人類(lèi)會(huì)使用那些捕鼠夾子來(lái)消滅壞老鼠，但是對(duì)待好老鼠的時(shí)候態(tài)度截然不同，比如作者兒子的寵物老鼠死掉了，他們家甚至給它辦了一場(chǎng)葬禮。作者的觀點(diǎn)就是：如果我們對(duì)一樣事物貼上了標(biāo)簽，那么在道德層面上，我們內(nèi)心會(huì)根據(jù)標(biāo)簽的不同作出不同的反應(yīng)。并不是事物本身有任何好與不好，只是人類(lèi)自作主張給
