汉语大意
亲爱的校长,
我写这封信是想说说我们学校的食堂。食
堂里只有几个窗口,导致很多学生不得不排队
打饭。这是浪费时间,对不对?有时候食物不
新鲜,不好吃。因此,有些学生选择到街上去
买垃圾食品就不足为奇了,这些垃圾食品对他
们的健康是有害的。您会考虑如何改善吗?如
果您能够采取一些措施,我将不胜感激。希望
我的意见能够被考虑。
杰克
本文作者写信给学生反映学校食堂问题。
1.stand→ stands 因a few后要用复数名词。
2. have→ having 非谓语动词,因students
与have to line是主动关系,用现在分词。
3. 在waste前加a 词组:a waste of浪费。
4. But→ And 前后是并列关系。
5. deliciously→ delicious 在系动词taste后
用形容词作表语。
6. chose→ choose 前后句都是用一般现在时。
7. do→ does 主语which代表的是food,第
三人称单数。
8. 去掉how前的that 因think about后有how
to do sth.作宾语。
9. you→ it 因I would appreciate it if…(如
果……我非常感激)是一个固定句型。
10. to→ into 因take…into account (考虑)是
固定词组。

法。换句话说,略读是要求读者有选择地进行
阅读,可跳过某些细节,以求抓住文章的大概,
从而加快阅读速度。
具体来说,在阅读时,先把文章粗略地浏览
一下,找主题段和段落主题句。主题段通常
在文章的开头(第一段或第一、二段),简要
介绍文章的中心思想;每个段落的主题句可
能在段落的开头、结尾或中间(较少数);也
有些文章可能没有主题段和段落主题句,需
要从文章的字里行间去推断文章的主旨要义。
做题的时候,通过略读浏览全文,找
出主题句或关键词(常为重复出现的名词
等)确定文章主要内容,然后仔细比较和
分析备选标题(注意每个选项的关键词),
排除内容有偏差、题目过大(过于笼统)和
题目过小(以偏概全)的选项,确定最佳答
案。

真题演练
早餐很重要,但最近的一项调查表明,你校将近
30%的学生有不吃早餐的习惯。请用英语写一篇
题为 “Top Meal of the Day” 的短文刊登在校报英
语专栏上。主要内容要点有:
1.分析不吃早餐的原因;
2.不吃早餐的后果;
3.你的建议。
注意:
1. 词数100左右,标题已给,不计词数。
2.内容可适当发挥,注意行文连贯。
Top Meal of the Day
A recent survey shows that 30% of the
students in our school do not have breakfast.
Some students who stay up late studying
choose to miss breakfast so that they can
have a few extra minutes in bed. Some
schoolgirls want to stay slim and go to school
without breakfast. Besides, some parents are
too busy to prepare breakfast.
As a result, these students suffer from a lack
of energy and tend to get tired easily. They
often feel sleepy in class, so it is hard for them
to get high marks in tests.
In fact, breakfast plays an important part
in students’ life and study. So parents should
spare time to cook and provide a balanced
diet for their children. On the other hand,
students should start their day with a regular
breakfast. If possible, enjoy it with their
parents.
Thank You !
