高考英语模拟试题作文精选 17 篇 1 据报道，目前我国居民每日使用塑料袋约 30 亿个，中国已成为白色污染大国。自今年 6 月 1 日起，全国的商品零售场所将不再免费提供塑料购物袋。请根据左侧的漫画， 结合生活实际，用英语写一篇 120 —150 词的短文，谈谈你对 ―限塑令 ‖的看法。 It is reported that around three hundred million plastic bags are used by Chinese residents each day. As is known in the picture, the earth is crying for help because of this serious white pollution. To our joy, all the shopping places will be banned from providing free plastic bags from June 1 this year. I can ’t agree more to this. For a long time, though we have known the bad effects of plastic bags on our environment, still we find it difficult to refuse them --- they are so convenient to us. Thanks to the government, firm measures are to be taken to limit them. I am sure people will become accustomed to giving up the plastic bags. Only by changing the way we treat the earth can we form a harmonious relationship with it. Saving the earth is saving ourselves. Stop using plastic bags. 2 阅读下面短文，然后按照要求写一篇 150 词左右的英语短文。 Some people prefer to spend most of their time alone. Others like to be with friends most of the time. Do you prefer to spend your time alone or with friends? I prefer to spend most of my time with friends, because friends offer excitement and new ideas, they can comfort me when something bad happens, and spending too much time by myself can be boring. Friends can offer excitement and fresh ideas to a situation. For example, if I am shopping, a friend makes the experience more fun. We can look at things together, and explore our likes and dislikes. Friends can also comfort me if something bad happens. If I get bad news, and a friend is around, I do not have to feel bad by myself. A friend will try and cheer me up, and attempt to take my mind off whatever negative things happened. For example, last year I broke my leg and was in a cast all summer. I had friends around me to cheer me up and distract me from the misfortune. Overall, I think having friends around me is the best way for me to spend my time. [写作内容 ] 1. 以约 30 个词概括作者喜欢与朋友共处的原因； 2. 然后以约 120 个词写一篇短文，包括以下要点： （1）你愿意独处还是与朋友共处？ （2）请简要说明原因，并以你的经历来支持你的观点。 [写作要求 ] 1. 可以使用实例或其它论述方法支持你的论点，也可以参照阅读材料的内容，但不得 直接引用原 文中的句子； 2. 标题自定； 3. 文中不能出现考生真实姓名和学校名称。 [评分标准 ] 概括准确、语言规范、内容合适、篇章连贯。 Possible version 1 Enjoy staying with friends The author enjoys being accompanied by friends more than being alone because friends comfort him and usually offer him excitements. Similarly, I would like to stay with my friends rather than stay alone. As the old saying goes, you may rely on your friends when you're out. Friends sometimes are just like the hand of god that will drag you out of trouble. In my case, math was once my nightmare in my study. However, it was my friend, Wang, who gave me a hand as well as a chance to break this curse. Although I was rather slow, he guided me through tremendous math problems with great patience. And finally, I step by step learned to work them out myself and I think this attributed to the endless effort made together by him and me. And no words can express my gratitude towards him. In a word, a friend in need is a friend indeed. May all of us treasure our friends. Possible version 2 Enjoy Being Alone The author prefers to spend his/her spare time with friends because he/she thinks friends can offer excitement and fresh ideas to a situation and they can comfort him/her if something bad happens. Personally, I prefer to spend most of my time alone. Friends are important in our growth, but we should not forget the shortcomings of spending too much time with friends. First, peer pressure may direct us into some wrong doings. In order to please their so- called ―friend ‖, teenagers may let their friends talk them into doing bad things. Moreover, even real friends may have different preferences. For example, I like classical music, but most of my friends love the noisy rock and roll. If we insist on spending our time together, both my friends and I would become unhappy. For this reason, I often feel like staying alone, especially when I want to do some reading. To sum up, it ’s good to have real friends, but we also have something that is for us to do alone. 3 目前医疗费不断攀升，有人因付不起昂贵的医疗费而只好忍受疾病的折磨。人们强 烈呼吁政府应当建立有效的医疗保障机制。请根据下面图画，以 ―Health Care ‖为题写 一篇短文 ，简要说明图画中所表达的内容 ，重点阐述这种现象所带来的后果和你的观点 。 another heartattack Bill $ 50,000 For MedicalCare hospital Discharge 注意： 1. 短文应包括图中所提供的主要信息，并做适当发挥，使短文内容连贯、完整。 2. 词数： 120―150 。 生词： hospital discharge-- 出院。 Health Care From the picture, we can see tat the old man was suffering from heart trouble. He had to go to hospital for medical care. When he saw the medical bill from the hospital, which was far beyond what he could afford, he was so shocked that he couldn`t stand on his feet. It`s really another heart attack form him. At present, any people can`t afford heavy medical fees. Because of this, they may get into deep debt in order to get proper medical care or have to bear the pain of diseases. Worse still, some have to wait helplessly for the last day of their life. If this situation continues, it will surely cause the instability of our society and eventually interfere with the development of our country. Therefore, we strongly call for the medical expenses to be reduced. The government should build up a favorable, medical system so that every person can afford their medical care and can enjoy their life as long as possible. 4 阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇 150 词左右的英语短文。 You may think birthdays mean only cake, presents, and a sweet song -- "Happy Birthday". However, there are many varieties of birthday celebrations. In the West, many birthday traditions come from an ancient belief that bad spirits showed up on a person's birthday. To drive troublemaking spirits away, friends would visit each other on their birthdays. Today, people still get together for birthday parties. But around the world, birthdays are celebrated in many different ways. In eastern Canada, children get their noses covered with butter on their birthdays. The butter is supposed to make children too slippery for bad luck to stick to them. Irish people lift birthday children upside down and hit them lightly on the floor for every year of their age. Mexico also has a unique birthday tradition. A paper-made animal is filled with candy and toys and hung from the ceiling. The birthday child with his eyes covered then tries to hit the animal with a stick until it bursts open.

But last year I had a very unforgettable birthday. Last year, I spend my birthday in the countryside with my cousins. We really had a good time. On that day, we got up very early, and then we went out to climb the mountain behind my cousins' house. On the way up the mountain, I saw beautiful plants and lovely birds that I had never seen before in the city. In the afternoon, we went fishing and can you guess what I had for the birthday supper: fish caught by myself.

While 47.5 percent of the respondents felt prices were rather high but still tolerable. Mr. Dou Lanqing, one respondent, said, ―The goods in supermarket are apparently more expensive than before. In the meanwhile, I have to pay a bigger bill if my family go out for dinner now. ‖ The report also found that many families began to take different measures to reduce the stress from the increasing prices. It shows that 35.4 percent of those surveyed generally put their money into banks, and that 27.6 percent tended to invest in stocks and mutual funds, down 8.2 percentage points quarter-on-quarter. Besides, most people prefer to work out a family budget. Mr. Dou said, ―With a reasonable budget, I can save more than 20% of my money every month, which used to be spent on unnecessary things. As long as we manage our money properly, the increasing prices, I think, should be not that terrible. ‖ [写作内容 ] 1. 以约 30 个词概括短文的要点； 2. 然后以约 120 个词就 ―物价上涨及中学生节省开支 ‖这一话题写一篇发言稿，发表看 法，并包括如下要点： （1）你在日常生活中对物价上涨的体会； （2）中学生在日常生活中应如何精打细算，节省开支； （3）呼吁同学们从小事做起，发扬节约的中华美德。 [写作要求 ] 1. 可以使用实例或其它论述方法支持你的论点，也可以参照阅读材料的内容，但不得 直接引用原文中的句子 ; 2．发言稿中不能现出真实姓名和学校名称。 3. 标题自定。 [评分标准 ] 概括准确，语言规范，内容合适，篇章连贯。 Dear boys and girls, It ’s my great honour to make a speech here. Recently, the People ’s Bank of China conducted a quarterly survey on prices in 50 cities. Nearly half of the respondents said they couldn ’t tolerate the increasing prices, while some others considered it OK although they acknowledged the truth. As a result, many families began to seek various ways to save money. The survey does draw my attention to the rapidly increasing prices in my daily life. Take food as an example, the prices of pork, beaf, fish, chicken, as well as various vegetables, have risen at least 20%. It seems that money is flowing out of our pockets more quickly, but silently. Although we middle school students feel less stress than our parents do, we should also have a proper budget for our pocket money. For example, we can make the most of each exercise book and reuse some waste paper. Or we can also try to cut down our expenses on unnecessary magazines, CDs and so on. In a word, we can save money in many aspects in our daily life. All in all, saving money is a great Chinese virtue and it is especially needed in this period. Thank you! 6 阅读下面短文，然后按照要求写一篇 150 词左右的英语短文。 In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking care of your life and your health; when you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong, people around you will help you to correct it. And when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too. All these are your happiness. If you notice a bit of them, you can see that happiness is always around you. Happiness is not the same as money. It ’s a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you have something else that can’t be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have more chances to challenge yourself. So you cannot always say you are poor and you have bad luck. As the saying goes, ―Life is like a revolving (旋转的 ) door. When it closes, it also opens. ‖ If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person. [写作内容 ] 1．以约 30 个词概括上文中第一段的内容； 2．以约 120 个词谈谈你对幸福的理解，并包括如下要点： （1）反驳社会上有些人认为的幸福与金钱等同的观点； （2）你认为学生怎样在学习中寻求快乐？ [写作要求 ] 你可以使用实例或其他论述方法支持你的论点，也可以参照阅读材料的内容，但不 得直接引用阅读材料中的句子。 [评分标准 ] 概括准确，语言规范，内容合适，篇章连贯。 You can live happily with people around you, if you would like to help them and share your happiness as well as trouble with them. So happiness is always around you. When talking about happiness, many people think that happiness is money. But I don’t think so because rich people are actually not so happy as those who don ’t have much money. Happiness is just the feeling of your heart. When you feel happy, you are happy. Sometimes money may make you feel good for a short time, but what makes you always happy is that you must keep a happy mind. Study in school needs hard work, but you can still find happiness: you can play with your classmates and friends, who can help you and share your trouble and pleasure; you can take part in the activities or you can simply study, enjoying the wonderful things in your reading. 7 教育部部长周济说 2008 年起，全国所有公办普通高中禁止办复读班，招收高三复 读生。周济说，公办高中办复读班，是利用国家资源收费，不利于公平教育。 许多社会评论认为公办学校办复读班，给了那些高考没发挥好的考生重获新生的希 望，补习质量有保证，同时对学校本身来说可以创点收入，改善学校条件，增加教师待 遇。 请你根据以上提示，用英语写一篇短文，介绍此事的有关情况，并就此事谈谈你的 看法。 注意： 1．短文应包括以上所有信息，要适当发挥。 2．词数： 120-150 。 参考词汇：教育部长 Minister of Education 补习班 remediation classes 招收 enroll 高三复读生 returning senior three students 待遇 welfare Minister of Education Zhou Ji says that from 2008 on, all the public high schools are forbidden to run remediation classes and enroll returning senior three students. He says this harms the fairness of education as they are taking advantage of national recourses to charge fees. While critics say this gives new hope and another chance to students who failed in the entrance examinations to college because public high schools can guarantee high teaching quality. Meanwhile, public schools can raise fund to improve the school conditions and teachers ’ welfares as well. As far as I ’m concerned, remediation classes are a long-standing phenomenon. Anyway, many returning senior three students have realized their college dreams through remediation classes. They shouldn ’t be canceled in a day and we shouldn ’t act too hastily.

But did you notice with the improvement of people ’s living standard, how much is wasted on campus? For example, some students leave the lights on in the daytime, water running after washing dishes. In the dining-hall, you can see a lot of food thrown away every day. The habit of being wasteful has a bad effect on our character. We have to pay for those things wasted, and this adds to our expense. What is worse, we are wasting the earth ’s limited resource. So it ’s high time we dealt with this problem. How to reduce the waste? In my opinion, it is everybody ’s duty to save energy and resource. We must start with ourselves and from now! Then our society will go on developing and our life will be better. 9 春节期间，我国南方多个地区遭受了几十年来罕见的雪灾。它给人们的生产和生活 带来了极大的影响 ------- 房屋倒塌 , 断水断电 , 食品供应紧张 ⋯⋯ 。面对灾害 , 举国上下 齐心协力抗击雪灾 , 展示了强大的中国精神。请结合下图用英语为 China Daily 写一篇 简短的报道。 注意 : 1.报道要包含雷灾的危害和抗灾情况，并适当谈谈自己的感受。 2.字数 : 150 左右。报道的标题、开头已为你写好 , 不计人总词数。 Disaster Occurred ，Help Came During the Spring Festival, many areas across southern China saw a snow disaster never seen in more than 50 years. The snowstorm ________________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________________ _________. Disaster Occurred, Help came During the Spring Festival, many areas across southern China saw a snow disaster never seen in more than 50 years. The snowstorm caused great damage to houses and power lines. Millions of people suffered from the shortage of water, vegetables and power supply. Roads were blocked. Flights were cancelled and trains were delayed, leaving tens of thousands of passengers unable to go back home. Facing the disaster, the government took all kinds of urgent measures to ensure everything returned to normal as soon as possible. Soldiers cleared snow and ice on the road and rescued the people trapped in the snowstorm. Repairmen worked around the clock to ensure water and power supply, for which some even lost their lives. Large quantities of aid relief, including the money donated by ordinary people across the whole country, were rushed to the disaster areas. Thanks to the joint efforts, people in the disaster areas were able to recover to normal. Looking back upon the experience, I feel that united, we ’re strong. The efforts of the Chinese government and the Chinese people in face of hardships will be always appreciated. (164 words) 10 2008 年春节前后，中国南方遭遇特大雪灾，请你写一篇短文，谈谈你的所见、所 闻、所感。词数 120 – 150 左右。 A heavy snow struck south China around the 2008 Spring Festival. Many power lines were broken, which led to the break of the transportation. Many passengers were trapped at railway stations, airports, or expressways, waiting for help. Because of power cuts and lack of water, many citizens suffered a lot. They were isolated from the outside world. With the leadership of the Party and the governments at all levels, people from every corner of our country worked day and night to help those in difficult situations. Finally, we won the victory over the natural disaster. From this event, I can feel the warmth from our society. Living in a big family, we should help each other when facing difficulties. Only in this way can we build a harmonious society. 11 教育部在 07 年 8 月宣布，明年起，全国所有公办普通高中禁止办复读班、招收复 读生，你对此是支持还是反对，并说明理由。以下观点仅供参考。 观点 主要理由 赞成 ①公办高中办复读班，占用国家教育资源，不利于在校学生学习。 ②高分学生复读，非名校不上，不利于高校招生。 反对 ①学生应有择校权。 ②民办学校教学质量和收费不一。 注意： 1．字数： 120 字左右，文章开头已结出，不计字数。 2．提示：公办学校： public schools 民办学校： schools run by no—governmental sectors 复读： resume one ’s studies The China Ministry of Education has declared that all the public schools in China will be forbidden to admit students who resume their studies in any form since 2008. This arouses different opinions about the principle in society. Possible version 1: The China Ministry of Education has declared that all the public schools in China will be forbidden to admit students who resume their studies in any form since 2008. This arouses different opinions about the principle in society. In my opinion ,I think it is wise for the government to do that .Firstly ,the students who resume their studies have used too many teaching resources. It is a waste to devote extra money ,people and facilities to teaching them after they have already graduated. Secondly ,although many students have achieved good marks in the examination and can be admitted to colleges ,they still refuse to go to college ,dreaming of attending the first —class colleges. As a result ,lots of colleges fail to adopt enough students while many students who get lower marks have no chance to receive education at college .That ’s really a shame .Lastly ,one can imagine it ’s unfair for us Grade 3students to compete with them. In a word ,I hope the rule would help deal with these problems. Possible version 2: The China Ministry of Education has declared that all the public schools in China will be forbidden to admit students who resume their studies in any form since 2008. This arouses different opinions about the principle in society. From my point of view ,I don ’t quite agree with the rule. Firstly ,as is known to us all ,the public senior high schools can choose us students freely and charge us a lot for studying there .Therefore ,we have every reason to ask them to educate us . In fact ,as citizens ,we have the right to choose where to study .Secondly ,according to the rule ,we have no choice but to go to schools run by non —government sectors. However ,their teaching resources and their management are far from satisfactory .What ’s worse ,we students have to pay much more money ,which really has a bad effect on our hard life. Thirdly ,we are willing to bear more pressure and to study harder so as to realize our dreams .That is our own business. In conclusion ,I don ’t think the rule is a good idea. 12 中国人口的老龄化趋势让人们更加关注老年人的晚年生活。请你根据所给提示。续 写一篇 150 字左右的英语短文。文章的开头已给出。 How to care for the elders Young people always complain that they face lots of pressures with caring for elders. How the aging people can be cared well is a hot topic in recent years. In my opinion, we, our government and our society can do just as follows ⋯ Firstly. Our government should adopt more effective measures to make the elders have enough money for their living, medicine and so on . then the elders will feel that they can support themselves and live a happy life free from anxiety and worry . secondly ,for the young, never to make your parents feel lonely is more preferred . There is no better idea than spending more time with your parents even when you are very busy ,as the happy moment with their sons or daughters is what the elder want most. Thirdly, the whole society should provide necessary space for the elders to take some activities ,during which they can enjoy the happy time with their friends. Above all ，creating an atmosphere where the old are cared and respected depends on the effort of the whole society. We must do lots of joint efforts to guarantee them a peaceful and content life. 13 最近，不少城市发出了 ―减少白色污染 ‖的倡议，得到广大市民的支持。请以 ― People should not be encourage d to use plastic bags ‖为话题在博客上发表简单评论。 注意：词数 120 左右。参考词汇：可分解的 degradable 窒息 choke Plastic bags are very popular in our daily life. People go shopping with plastic bags in free markets, super markets, or departments. But plastic bags are one of the major pollutants. We can see littered plastic bags thrown everywhere, especially along the railways or highways, in the parks or in the rivers. Because plastics is not degradable, once it is thrown in the environment, it will exist for a long time and pollute soil and water. They are even dangerous to wildlife as thousands of sea animals are killed each year when they eat or are choked by plastic bags. What ’s more, ―white pollution ‖ creates a bad image for China. So government should make a law to forbid the use of plastic bags in department stores and supermarkets. Meanwhile, people should be encouraged to replace them with paper bags or cloth bags. 14 请用英语写一篇 120— 150 词左右的短文，简要描述漫画内容，并结合现实生活， 就漫画主题 ―虚惊一场 ‖发表感想。 参考词汇：谴责 —— condemn ； 和谐 —— harmonious 灭火器 —— extinguisher Look at the picture above. The lift door opened and out came two men and a lady with a child. The two men were smoking hard and the heavy smoke inside the lift rushed out. The lady was coughing badly and the child was puzzled. The worker mistook the lift was on fire and took extinguisher immediately to put out the fire. Warnings ―No smoking inside the lift ‖ were clearly written on board, but a few people ignored them at all. Smoking not only does great harm to their own and others ’ health but also pollutes the environ ment. They didn ’t think of others and enjoyed smoking without noticing others ’ feelings. The bad behavior seriously hurt other people and the two men should be condemned and punished. In my opinion, Members of our society should follow the public moral rules and think of others first. Only in this way can we make our society harmonious. 15 阅读下面的文字，用英语写一篇 120 —150 词的短文。 （开头已给出，不计入总词数。） 最近，山东省教育厅下重手整治全省中小学加班加点的现象。作为一名高三学生， 请结合自己及身边的实际谈谈你对这一举措的认识。 Shandong Provincial Education Department has recently taken strict measures to make sure that no student has to go to school on weekends or during official holidays. ___________________________________________________________________ _______ ___________________________________________________________________ _______ Shandong Provincial Education Department has recently taken strict measures to make sure that no student has to go to school on weekends or during official holidays. For the first time in our senior middle school life my friends and I enjoyed a full-length winter vacation ,and for the first time in years we are free to do what is necessary and important to meet our personal needs .In the past years ,we kept working hard from morning till night in order to get a higher mark in the college entrance exam. We omitted everything (such as art classes ,social activities ,etc. )that did not have a direct relationship with that goal .Consequently ,many of us are weak both physically and mentally.

They pointed out that nationwide traveling has put big pressure on transportation, tourist safety and the environment. The Golden Week results in crowded scenic spots and packed hotels, making the quality of service decline. However, other people argue the golden week has encouraged people to spend more during the seven- day holiday so it has brought huge profits to the nation ’s tourism industry and promoted the economic growth. Despite the fact that voices calling for its cancellation are becoming even stronger I still think people need to relax and common vacation time is very important. It should take into consideration not only incomes, but also the satisfaction of those who take the holiday. Opinions of those who object ： In my opinion, the current golden week might as well be canceled and we should readjust the nation ’s public holidays. The new 1ist of public holidays may include important traditional festivals, such as the Dragon Boat Festival and the Mid-Autumn Festival. 17 据报道，法国生产汽车的雪铁龙公司 (Citroen) 在广告中使用了我国领导人毛泽东的 照片。此事在我国网民中引起了激烈的争论。请你根据下面的调查表所提供的信息，给 某英文杂志社写一篇文章，简要叙述此事件并发表自己的看法。 被调查者的态度 所占比例 抗议使用 45．3％ 不反对使用 41．6％ 无所谓 13．1％ 要求： 1.行文应连贯流畅，内容要充实完整； 2. 词数 120—150 之间， Two possible versions: (1) It is reported that the French ear-maker Citroen has used the photo of the late Chinese leader Moo Zedong in the advertisement. This amused heated discussions among Chinese Internet users. According to a recent survey, about 45.3% of the people were against it while 41.6% of the people were for it. Only 13.1% of the people didn't express their opinions. In my opinion, it is wrong for Citroen to use Chairman Mao's photo to nm their advertisement. As we all know, Chairman Mao was a beloved leader in China. We think this action insulting to Chairman Mao the whole Chinese nation. China is a big auto market for Citroen. If the Chinese people are hurt by the ad, they won't buy Citroen cars in the future. What's more, from the business aspect, it is a violation of the rights of citizens. So this action is both politically and culturally unacceptable. (2) It is reported that the French car-maker Citroen has used the photo of the late Chinese leader Mao Zedong in the advertisement. This amused heated discussions among Chinese Internet users. According to a recent survey, about 45.3% of the people were against it while 41.6% of the people were for it. Only 13.1% of the people didn't express their opinions. In my opinion, it is just a kind of humor that advertisements often use. As far as I know, some other great or historic figures can often be seen in the advertisements. Citroen is not making fun of Chairman Mao, but referring to his revolutionary spirit. Chairman Mao is an international famous . leader, and the ad won't make people think any less of him. So I think we needn't take it very seriously because it is not really disrespectful to Chairman Mao and the Chinese public.
