根据以下材料，自选角度，自拟题目，写一篇不少于800字的文章（不要写成诗歌）。 有人说：“痛苦是财富，这话是扯淡；痛苦就是痛苦，对痛苦的思考才是财富。” ① 正视痛苦，思考出路

如材料所述，痛苦就是痛苦，当我们经历痛苦时，最明智的做法是思考痛苦产生的原因，思考降低痛苦的方法，这样便能从痛苦中收获一笔宝贵的财富。

② 体验痛苦，收获财富

事实也不尽如材料所言，痛苦本身也可以是财富，它是一种真真切切的体验，代表着仍然鲜活的、拒绝麻木的心灵。文明的历史就是一部痛苦的历史。

③ 规避痛苦，乐享人生

乐而不淫，哀而不伤，学习规避痛苦，或者不沉湎在痛苦之中，是一种值得提倡的健康积极的生活态度。

④ 直面痛苦，承担人生

生活中的痛苦往往是不可规避的，因为它们是伴随责任而来的，这就要求我们在最开始就能预见痛苦，并且敢于直面它，承担起生活的分量。

根据以下材料，自选角度，自拟题目，写一篇不少于800字的文章（不要写成诗歌）。 有人说坚持做同一件事，坚持10年就能够成功，坚持20年就能够创造出奇迹。而事实上，绝大部分人同一件事情做了一辈子，依旧平凡无奇。

① 做好规划，审慎坚持

坚持了多年却没有成功，可能是一开始坚持的方向就有了问题，或者是没有一定的物质基础，所谓“无物以相之，亦不能至也”，也有可能是坚持的方式有问题，因为坚持并非是简单的重复，而是要有变化、有创新。所以在坚持之前应该做好规划，解决掉一些问题：坚持什么，凭借什么坚持，怎么坚持。

② 谋事在人，成事在天

有了正确的坚持不代表理所应当就会成功，成功都是有一定的偶然性因素的，需要把握时机。 ③ 勇于坚持，拒绝盲从

坚持本身就是一种成功，成功不一定是名利上的，也可以是精神修养上的，这种情况下，坚持住就是一切。

古希腊哲学家伊壁鸠鲁说：“认识错误就是拯救自己的第一步。”然而当代哲学家卡尔波普尔又说：“如果我们过于爽快的承认错误，就可能使自己发觉不了我们非常接近于正确。” 对此，你有怎样的思考和认识，请自拟题目，写一篇文章。

要求：（1）不少于800字。（2）不要写成诗歌。（3）不得透露个人相关信息。 ①重估错误

错误也许已经非常接近正确了，所以对于错误的价值要重新评估，要学着去观察错误，明辨错误。

②认识错误，走向成功

认识错误是为了从错误中吸取教训，迈出拯救自己的第一步，再一步步地达至成功，这是对待错误的明智做法。

③勇于尝试，勇于试错

不管是非常接近于正确的错误，还是正确反面的错误，错误都是和正确有着千丝万缕联系的，所以不要害怕犯错，勇于尝试，在试错中逐步走向正确，这种面对错误的态度，应是题中之义。

喜剧大师卓别林，参加了一场“谁像卓别林竞赛秀”，结果名列第三。对此有人以为卓别林将有以下选择：其一，追逐时髦，争当下次竞赛的冠军；其二，愤世嫉俗，从此退出戏剧舞台；一如既往，一笑置之……

根据以上材料，自拟题目，谈谈你的看法，建议及理由，写一篇不少于800字的文章（不要写成诗歌）。

①打破模仿，超越传统

本身这场比赛的意义就值得怀疑，为什么要比赛谁更像卓别林，而不能是比赛出“谁是下一个卓别林”呢，后者的意义在于挖掘出新一代的喜剧之王，而前者只是单纯的追求形似，高下立辨。

②外在可以模仿，精神难以复制

连卓别林自己都只能屈居第三的模仿秀，可见参赛者实力雄厚，但是它们可以比卓别林更像卓别林，却永远不能成为卓别林，因为他们只能把握住卓别林滑稽戏谑的外在形象，却不能体会其笑中带泪的精神内核。

③坚持真我

卓别林的第一个可能的选择是迎合潮流，成为人们以为的卓别林应该成为的样子，殊不知这是走上了迷失自我的不归路，所以坚持真我难能可贵。

④道不同不相为谋

可怜的卓别林在这场选秀中没有找到自己的用武之地，而是被开了一个大大的玩笑，他本真的表演并没有得到认可，可以想见选秀的这帮人并不能真正理解卓别林的艺术，他不妨参考第二种选择，但不是退出戏剧舞台，只是离开此地寻找有知音的舞台。

⑤人不知我而不愠

第三种选择可以见出卓别林的坦然大度，即使被误解，也不生气，只是一笑置之，纯当是给自己日后的表演增加选材，兴许他会创作出一出《真假卓别林》呢。

⑥勇于发声，诚实表态

卓别林不妨有这第四种选择，就是戳穿选秀主办方的荒诞结果，让真相昭告天下，也让世人反省喜剧表演的实质是什么，是不是只是夸张搞笑的动作，是不是还有什么更深层次的特质。 宝山区

根据以下材料，自选角度，自拟题目，写一篇不少于800字的文章（不要写成诗歌）。 纪录片《互联网时代》解说词：

从人类文明出现到2003年，所有存储下来的信息的总和仅仅相当于如今人类两天创造的数据量。全球最大的图书馆，美国国会图书馆的所有馆藏不足今天人类一天所产生数据量的万分之一。

互联网时代的数据拥有了全然不同的价值内涵，有用才被记录的时代结束了，一切能够被记录的都会是有意义的。

①联接成就意义

一切能够被记录的都会是有意义的，这取决于数据能否被广泛的分享和交流，所以互联网时代让我们看到了联接的巨大力量，没有一个数据是无用的，就像没有一个人是一片孤岛一样，用联系的观点来认识和改造世界，发展网状思维是新时代下的必然趋势。

②信息爆炸or信息膨胀

为什么身处信息的海洋，我们却时常有信息匮乏之感，并非是信息的数量不够，而是信息的质量出了问题，所以在这个大数据时代，“求真”依旧是悬在我们头顶上的达摩克里斯之剑。莫让信息爆炸变成令人难以忍受的信息膨胀。

③每一个“我”都是大写的“我”

互联网彻底颠覆了传统媒体，每一个网民都可以在互联网时代成为一个移动的自媒体，在网络空间的一言一行都可能掀起一个巨大的蝴蝶效应，如何在这样的空间中把控“记录”的影响，如何管好大写的“我”，可以结合自身经验来谈。

浦东新区

根据以下材料，自选角度，自拟题目，写一篇不少于800字的文章（不要写成诗歌）。 美国社交网站“脸书”掌门人扎克伯格喜得千金，宣布捐出所持99%股份用于慈善事业，并在“脸书”个人主页上附上一封给女儿的信，信中说：“和所有的父母一样，我们希望你能够在一个比今天更好的世界里长大，我们将为此作出自己的贡献，而这不仅仅是因为我们爱你，也是因为我们对下一代所有儿童负有道义上的责任?????”扎克伯格的举动引起了人们广泛的思考。

①换个方式改变世界

从脸书掌门人到慈善家，扎克伯格的华丽转身，让我们看到了科技大佬们更具人情味和社会责任感的一面。确实，除了做好自己的本职工作，我们都可以身兼数职，发挥自己的特长去更深入地融入社会，为改变世界献出自己的一份力。

②裸捐的境界

能够将资产的99%都捐出，这样的善举震撼到我们的心灵深处，从中我们不仅能够体会到扎克伯格做慈善的决心，同时也可以见出他对于财富的态度，不占有超过自己所需的物质，这种勤俭的作风值得学习。

③为善不获利不易于善

很多人都在讨论扎克伯格裸捐是否有避税方面的考虑，他自己出面澄清，捐出股票并不能避税。姑且不论他裸捐的动机是否纯粹，孔老夫子两千多年前就教育他的门生“为善不获利不易于善”，善举想要一直持续发扬下去，就不能只是由道德来引导，还要有实际的利益来驱动，这样的善才能长久。

静安区

根据以下材料，自选角度，自拟题目，写一篇不少于800字的文章（不要写成诗歌）。 一些医学毕业生，苦干、实干、细心，经年累月地练习同一套技术，最后熟练地掌握了这套技术，在该领域成了专家，另一些医学毕业生，能很快学会复杂的技巧，关注细节，又有前瞻性；遗憾的是，他们讨厌反复练习，同一套技术很快让他们厌倦。

不过，最有能力迎接新的疾病的挑战，恰恰又是后者。

①实干型人才少不了

实干型人才相当于技术熟练的工匠，他们能出色地完成既定任务，是社会稳定秩序的维护者。 ②创新型人才不可或缺

创新型人才是时代的领航者，他们能够最快、最有效地应对新的挑战，他们是社会向前发展的引路人。

③实干型人才和创新型人才两者缺一不可

健康的社会应该实干型人才和创新型人才两者缺一不可，只有这样这个社会的基础才是稳固的，并且它还有着长足的发展动力。

虹口区

根据以下材料，自选角度，自拟题目，写一篇不少于800字左右的文章（不要写成诗歌）。 生活就像是驾驶马车，有人在车上昏昏欲睡，任马拉行；有人始终按照自己的意愿清醒地驾驶着马车。

①保持清醒，把控生活

生活中有许多坎坷、困难，非得依靠清醒的意志才能克服。而当我们需要预见未来的方向做出合适的选择时，同样需要清醒的意志。

②信马由缰，顺应生活

生活中也并非时刻都需要保持清醒紧张的自我意识，就像驾车时并非时刻需要拉紧缰绳一般，当你选择了一条确定的道路，大可任由马儿驰骋向前，这不是放纵也不是麻木，它是一种自然。需知迷途时得依靠老马，信马由缰中包含了顺应自然的大智慧。

③以上两种立意相互补充，具体情况具体分析

闵行区

站得高可以看得远，但是看不清，站得低，可以看得清，但是看不远！你有怎样的思考！ 请自选角度，自拟题目，写一篇不少于800字的文章（不要写成诗歌）。

①登高望远，开阔眼界

站得高才能看得远，而看得远才能够拥有更大的格局、更高的境界以及真正的全局眼光，不管是对个人还是对群体，更加开阔的眼界都具有非凡意义。

②俯身观察，格物致知

只有站得低才能看得清，而看得清才能把握住细节，进而把握原理，这体现了一种钻研精神，不能俯身观察，就不能了解局部，也就很难将全局的计划和战略落实下去了。

③以上两种立意相互补充，具体情况具体分析

黄浦区

根据以下材料，自选角度，自拟题目，写一篇不少于800字的文章（不要写成诗歌）。 “知止”二字作为座右铭高悬于李嘉诚办公室的醒目处，清人曾国藩一生的作为和成就也处处有“止”的烙印。

古语云“知行知止，知止而行”，意思是要懂得“行”，也要懂得“止”，懂得“于止中行”。 ①知止而行，止于至善

只有知道什么是不该做的，才能真正做好该做的，适度而为，当止则止，止于至善之所，这样的准则不管是求知的领域还是社会发展的领域都是适用的。

②当行则行，勇猛精进

光有止还不够，希望在于行动，所以本立意强调行的重要性，只有拿出强大的执行力，才能真正在现实中贯彻自己的意志。

③知行知止，能屈能伸

以上两种立意相互补充，具体情况具体分析

奉贤区

根据以下材料，选取一个角度，自拟题目，写一篇不少于800字的文章（不要写成诗歌）。 宋朝朱熹在他的《观书有感·其二》中说，“昨夜江边春水生，艨艟巨舰一毛轻。向来枉费推移力，此日中流自在行”。意思是：江边停泊着一艘大战船，水不深，船搁浅，怎样也不动；昨天夜里江边春水涨高了，只见那大船已如羽毛般轻轻飘浮在水面上。想到早先浅水时的想尽办法来推移战船，实在白费力气；现在水满了，那船不是在江心自由自在地行驶了吗？ ①借助外力，掌握时机，才能事半功倍

如果没有适合的时机，没有春水涨高的这一外部条件，大战船是很难重新漂浮在水面上的，可见合适的时机是成功必不可少的要素。

②学习离不开大量的积累，思而不学无益于事

原先的河水载不动大船，是由于水量不够，只有水量积蓄到一定的程度，才能有足够的力量承载大船，思维的航线才能重新营运，可见积累的重要性。

③做事讲究方法，不能只是使蛮力

如果最开始就能思考用什么方法才能“拯救”搁浅的大船的话，恐怕也就不会白费推船的气力了，磨刀不误砍柴工，讲究做事的方法很关键。

I prefer the newspaper online. As we all know，it is hard for us to getthe paper media，due to the high cost. Therefore, the most feasible way to get access to the foreign language is the Internet.

It is because the words on the online newspapers is more suitable for a high school student to read that we can benefit from it more easily. Another reason why we choose newspaper website is that there is not only one type of article. For example. BBC Homepage involves articles of all types ranging from news and world to literature and science.

Reading only the text books for knowledge cannot truly enable us to use a language. By reading the newspaper website, I can not only learn to use a languages but also can be more exposed to a variety of knowledge.

As the online newspaper is free, relatively easy to read and rich in knowledge, I love it best.

Dear Jerry,

Thanks for your letter! As you’ve recently heard of from the Internet that the air condition in Shanghai is rather bad, I would like to share with you my idea about the haze.

① The word HAZE used to be a common entry which could only be found in dictionaries;

however, it has become in some major metropolitan cities like Shanghai in China. open the window in the morning, you will seldom see blue sky and white clouds. jog on the school playground, you will find it rare to freely breathe fresh air. like me not only began to wear masks to self-protect but took some measures to crack it down.

So, what are the reasons resulting in such terrible haze? I am sure no single cause is responsible for such a big issue, but about the gases off from the tall chimneys in the chemical factories and the water out from some illegal small workshops, no one would doubt the responsibilities these pollution sources should take.

No matter how serious the haze is now, it is no use complaining about it all day without any practical actions. our government took some forceful measures to combat the air pollutions and the individuals raised their awareness to make their due contribution to a clean environment.

Anyway, everything is changing better and so will be the air condition. Best regards!

Yours sincerely,

Huang ming

高考将探索外语科目一年多次的社会化考试，学生可自主选择考试时间和次数。和目前的高考制度相比，你更喜欢哪种方式？请谈谈你的看法。

According to the reform program of the college entrance examination that the Ministry of Education has made，some of the subjects will be examed many times in a year.People have different oppinions about this.

Some say that this program give students more free time.Students can choose the exam time themself and it's obvious an effective way to improve their grades of the university entrance examination.On the other hand,if some of the subjects are finished ahead of time,students will be in less pressure during the time.

There are also many people against the program while others are in favour of it.It wil increase the burden of the students by the frequently tests.Also,it is a waste of the education resource cause the exam costs more in this case.

In my oppinion，to pass the exam before the reference time is a good way to relax ourselves while we are all under the pressure of the university entrance examination.So I'm looking forward to see the reform program to be brought into force.

What about you?What's your idea of the program?

Section A

Directions: After reading the passages below, fill in the blanks to make the passages coherent and grammatically correct. For the blanks with a given word, fill in each blank with the proper form of

the given word; for the other blanks, use one word that best fits each blank.

(A)

Different forms of hospitality (好客)

I am a British woman social anthropologist (人类学家). I once spent a year in Moldova, in

Eastern Europe, （25）______ (study) everyday life in the country. I stayed with a Moldovan

family to see from the inside how people managed their lives. I had a wonderful time and made

many new friends. What I observed is of course based on my own experience at a particular place

and time.

I often found (26) _______ surprisingly difficult to see life there through the eyes of a

Moldovan. This was (27) ______ the people I met were extremely hospitable and I was treated as

an honoured guest at all times. As my hosts, they wanted me to enjoy myself, and not to get (28)

______ (involve) in shopping, cooking, or other domestic jobs. Most mornings I was encouraged

to go out to explore the city, or carry out my research, and I returned later to find that my elderly

landlady and her sister had travelled across the city on buses to the central market (29) ________

(bring) back heavy loads of potatoes, a whole lamb, or other large quantities of products.

I was often invited to people?s homes, and was always offered food on entering. Most of the

actually all family members were busy with agricultural work in one form or another, usually (34)

_______ (grow) food for their own consumption and sometimes also producing food or other

countryside in search of work. If electricity had preceded steam, domestic industry might have

survived more fully.

Section B

Directions: Complete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only

be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.

Being sociable looks like a good way to add years to your life. Relationships with family,

friends, neighbours, even pets, will all do the trick, but the biggest longevity (长寿) boost seems to

come from marriage or a(n) ____ relationship. The effect was first noted in 1858 ___by William

Farr, who wrote that widows (寡妇)and widowers were at a much higher risk of dying than their

married peers. Studies since then suggest that marriage could add as much as seven years to a

man?s life and two to a woman?s. The effect ____ for all causes of death, whether illness, accident

or self-harm.

Even if the odds are stacked against you, marriage can more than compensate. Linda Waite of

the University of Chicago has found that a married older man with heart disease can ___ to live

nearly four years longer than an unmarried man with a healthy heart. Likewise, a married man

who smokes more than a pack a day is likely to live as long as a divorced man who doesn?t smoke.

There?s a flip side, however, as partners are more likely to become ill or die in the couple of years

following their spouse?s death, and caring for a spouse with mental disorder can leave you with

some of the same ___ problems. Even so, the odds favour marriage. In a 30-year study of more

than 10,000 people, Nicholas Christakis of Harvard Medical School describes how all kinds of

social networks have similar effects.

So how does it work? The effects are complex, 46____ by socio-economic factors,

health-service provision, emotional support and other more physiological (生理的) mechanisms.

For example, social contact can boost development of the brain and immune system, leading to

better health and less chance of _47__ later in life. People in supportive relationships may __48__

stress better. Then there are the psychological benefits of a supportive partner.

A life partner, children and good friends are all __49_ if you aim to live to 100. The ultimate

social network is still being _____ out, but Christakis says: “People are interconnected, so their

health is interconnected.”

Section A

Directions: For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B,

C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.

Who needs sleep?

It?s 2 a.m. The time when you should be in beds, sound asleep. But pull back the curtains and

you might be surprised by the number of lights on in your street Night-time is ___51___ just for

sleeping. It has become the new daytime, offering us the chance to catch up on everything we

didn?t manage to finish during what used to be our ___52____ hours. Now, ___53___ sleeping, we

can check our bank balances by phone, buy groceries, surf the net for cheap flights or go to the

gym.

Such flexibility, ____54___, has a price. Our bodies are run by circadian rhythms (昼夜节律), a

prehistoric internal clock that regulates when we feel sleepy or awake and affects our body

temperature and level of alertness. It makes our brains and bodies ___55___ during the day and

allows them to recover through the night. So powerful is this clock that even two weeks on a

nightshift without break will not ___56___ its rhythm, and when scientists keep human volunteers

in isolation, without any indication of what time it is in the day, they still show daily cycles of

temperature changes, sleep and wakefulness, and hormone release. But, ___57___ working against

our body?s natural rhythm is likely to cause ourselves both physical and psychological damage.

Research also shows it may actually ___58___ our risk of health problems such as stomach

diseases.

Consultant Tom Mackey believes that our normal circadian rhythms are increasingly being

completely ____59__. “More and more of us are being pressured into doing things at odd hours.

This is going to have a(n) ___60___ impact on quality and length of sleep. If people don?t go to

bed at a reasonable time, say around 11 p.m., and have between six and eight hours of sleep, they

will be unable to concentrate. You need sleep for rest and ___61____. If you stuff your mind with

information for too long, then everything gets disorganized ---you become __62____ to manage

daytime activities.”

The circadian rhythms that run the sleep/wake cycle are as old as ___63____ itself. Our

prehistoric ancestors would have needed their biological clock to get them out hunting during the

day and probably in bed around nightfall to avoid intruders. Our night vision is not as fast as that

of nocturnal (夜间活动的) animals ---our natural rhythm was to sleep as the sun went down. The

invention of the electric light obviously ____64___ that. Like most biological systems, circadian

rhythms are not made to ____65___. Our internal clock runs a bit longer than 24 hours, hence its

Latin name, circadian, which means “about a day.”

A

When milk on the doorstepan delivering milk to our doorstep. His name was Mr. Basille. He

wore a white cap and drove a white truck. As a 5-year-old boy, I couldn?t take my eyes off the coin

changer fixed to his b

When I was a boy growing up in New Jersey in the 1960s, we had a milkmelt. He noticed this

one day during a delivery and gave me a quarter out of his coin changer.

Of course, he delivered more than milk. There was cheese, eggs and so on. If we needed to change

our order, my mother would pen a note - “Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery” - and

place it in the box along with the empty bottles. And then, the buttermilk would magically appear.

All of this was about more than convenience. There existed a close relationship between families

and their milkmen. Mr. Basille even had a key to out house, for those times when it was so cold

outside that we put the box indoors, so that the milk wouldn?t freeze. And I remember Mr. Basille

from time to time taking a break at our kitchen table, having a cup of tea and telling stories about

his delivery.

There is sadly no home milk delivery today. Big companies allowed the production of cheaper

milk, thus making it difficult for milkmen to compete. Besides, milk is for sale everywhere, and it

may just not have been practical to have a delivery service.

Recently, an old milk box in the countryside I saw brought back my childhood memories. I took it

home and planted it on the back porch （门廊）. Every so often my son?s friends will ask what it is.

So I start telling stories of my boyhood, and of the milkman who brought us friendship along with

his milk.
