Question

【題目】 A group of frogs （青蛙）were traveling through the woods. And two of them fell into a deep pit. When the other frogs saw how deep the pit was, they told the two frogs that they were as good as dead. The two frogs didn't listen and tried to jump out of the pit with all their might. The other frogs kept telling them to stop. Finally, one of the frogs heard what the other frogs were saying and gave up, so he died.

The other frog went on jumping as hard as he could. Once again, the other frogs cried at him and told him to stop and just allow himself to die. He jumped even harder and finally made himself out. When he got out, the other frogs said, "Didn't you hear us?" The frog explained to them that something was wrong with his hearing. He thought they were encouraging him the whole time.

There is power of life and death in the tongue. An encouraging word to someone who is down can lift him or her up and help them make it through the day. Be careful of what you say. Speak life to those who cross your path. The power of words—anyone can speak bad words that rob another of the spirit to go on in difficult times. But an encouraging word can go such a long way.

Answer 1

【答案】

After two frogs fell into a deep pit, one died because of his companions' discouraging words while the other that mistook them for encouraging ones got out. So words have powerful effects on people's attitude towards life.

We use words every day but not all of us realize their powerful influence. A student will spare no efforts to study because of others' inspiring words. On the contrary, if he is told that there is no possibility for him to succeed, he may really give up and end up as a failure totally.

My friend Mary had a traffic accident and got severely hurt. Though the chances for her recovery were little, her mother decided to tell a lie in order to cheer her up. It was the power of words that actually helped her stand up and walk again.

In conclusion, when faced with negative and discouraging remarks, we ought to turn a deaf ear to them as they will destroy our hope and faith. What matters more to us are those positive words that make us highly inspired and motivated. In the meantime, give our positive words to people around us because they will give us theirs in return.

【解析】

試題分析：文章大意：兩只青蛙掉進了深坑里，同伴們都認為它們上不來了，于是就勸它倆放棄，其中一只放棄了，死掉了。而另一只是聾子，它以為同伴們是在鼓勵它，于是鼓足勇氣，最后一躍跳了出來。

這篇短文就引發(fā)來一個問題，那就是語言既能給你希望，又能使你有挫敗感甚至失去希望。這就是語言給予你不同的感受。就是語言的力量。而該篇寫作就要求考生在概括文章大意的基礎(chǔ)上，就“語言的力量”發(fā)表考生的看法和感受，闡述語言在現(xiàn)實生活中的正負面影響；再舉例子，說明語言的正或負面的影響；最后告訴我們在日常生活中，應該如何利用好語言，讓語言產(chǎn)生積極的影響。亮點分析：短文中運用了one……while the other來對比兩只青蛙的不同表現(xiàn)。由此準確的概括了故事的內(nèi)容和主旨。the other that……也采用了同位語使得句子更加連貫。然後在用生活中人們被語言力量的影響來論述語言的正負影響。以身邊朋友Mary為例來說語言的影響力。總結(jié)了我們應該用積極的話語去影響別人。文中有fall into掉入，落下；because of因為，由于；get out從……出去；have effect on對…有影響；on the contrary相反；there is no possibility for sb to do sth對于某人做某事是沒有可能性的；give up放棄；end up as以作為…而結(jié)束；decide to do sth決定做某事；in order to為了…；cheer up歡呼，慶祝；it is/was…that；stand up站起來；ought to do sth；what matters more；in the meantime；in return；……大量短語和精彩的句子成分，使文章更加連貫，成功。讀起來朗朗上口。為文章增添了色彩。使文章成為一篇優(yōu)秀的范文。
