But a lot of my friends did very little work. Some did just enough to pass the exams. Others didn't do quite enough. Fred Baines was such a student. He spent more time drinking in the Tea House than working in the library.Once at the end of the term, we had to take an important test in Chinese. The test had 100 questions. Beside each question we had to write "True" or "False". While I was studying in my room the night before the test, Fred was watching TV. Fred usually worried a lot the night before a test. But on that night he looked very easy. Then he told me of his idea."It's very simple. There are 100 questions and I have to get 50 right to pass the test. I'll take a coin into the room. I haven't studied a Chinese book for months, so I'll toss(掷,扔)the coin. In that way, I'm sure I'll get half of the questions right."The next day, Fred came happily into the examination room. As he sat tossing a coin for half an hour, he wrote down his answers. Then he left, half an hour before the rest of us.The next day, Fred met his Chinese teacher at the school gate. "Oh, good, "he said. "Have you got the results of the test?"The teacher looked at him and smiled, "Ah, it's you, Baines. Just a minute."Then the teacher reached his pocket and took out a coin. He threw it into the air, caught in his hand and looked at it. "I'm sorry, Baines, you failed!"根据短文内容,判断下列句子是否正确，对的写"√"，错的写"×"。

英语写作中的四大修辞类型亮点句修辞手段一般主要用于文学性写作中。

但在英语的英文写作中有时也需要运用一定的具有英文特征的修辞手段，而且运用得好，会使语句生动从而增添语句亮点。

以下四大类型的修辞类常用句型，希望大家能在考前多背背，多熟悉一下，进而提高作文成绩。

1.对比正反对比就是要巧妙地运用对称的英文句式来表达互为补充的意思，因此恰当地运用反义词语往往是必不可少的。

如果一旦所要表达的内容具有这种情况，就应尽力选用这种对称的句式并选用适当的反义词语来加强语句，实现语句的亮点。

1）“利远远大于弊”，可以这样表达：The advantages far outweigh the disadvantages.(注：句中the advantages 与the disadvantages 具有正反对比的关系和效果。

）2）如果你站得更高,你就看得越远.先写陈述句: You stand high. You can see far.变成: The higher you stand, the farther you can see.3)“我们既有与我们很为相似的朋友，又有与我们很为不同的朋友”，可以这样表达：We have friends similar to us and friends different from us.(注：句中similar to 与different from具有正反对比的关系和效果）2.排比英文中有时也使用排比句式，这种句式整齐而有气势，又不会使人感到单调。

例如，如“读书使我们聪明，锻炼使我们强健”，可以这样表达：Reading makes us wise while exercises make us strong.不劳而获。

No pains,no gains.3. 重复英文一般讲求简洁，因此为表达强调偶尔使用重复可以使语句的强调内容得到突出。

1)如“我们渴望成功，而且正在为成功而努力工作”，可以这样表达：We long for success and we are working hard for success.(注：此句为句尾重复，重复的部分为句尾的for success.)2)他真的喜欢你。

The earthquake was terrible. We can’t describe the scene what we saw with any words. Thousands of people were injured even died. And thousands of children became such unlucky ones who lost fathers or mothers. They longed to have families to continue their lives. I am sympathetic to their fate! But I believed that we can fight against the fate and change it. For example, there are many people keeping living without food or water for about 100 hours during the earthquake!What an unbelievable thing it is! Their great spirits showed the powerful life vitality of humans! However, they must keep fighting against the death. Many schools were destroyed and there were many students and teachers who left us forever. Sadness, hopelessness and different kinds of danger spread out here and there!But, fortunately, love is around us: the Communist Party helps us, the army helps us, the people allover the world help us. They offer us money, goods, love and so on ! With the help of such a large love, we will overcome the damage of the earthquake and face our beautiful future!( )54.

The people were poor but they were happy. After all, their forefathers had lived in the same way for centuries.Then one day, some visitors from the city arrived. They told the villagers there were some people elsewhere who liked to eat frog. However, they did not have enough frogs of their own, and so they wanted to buy frogs from other places.This seemed like money for nothing. There were millions of frogs in the fields around, and they were useless to the villagers. What they had to do was to catch them. Agreement was reached, and the children were sent into the fields to catch frogs. Every week a truck arrived to collect the catch and hand over the money. The villagers were able to dream of a bett er future. But the dream didn’t last long.The change was hardly noticed at first, but it seemed as if the crops weren’t doing so well. More worry was that the children fell ill more often, and there were more insects around lately. The villagers decided that they couldn’t just wait to see the crops failing and the children getting weak. They would have to use the money earned to buy pesticides (杀剂) and medicine. Soon there was no money left.The people realized what was happening. It was the frog. They hadn’t been useless. They had been doing an important job--- eating insects. Now with so many frogs killed, the insects were increasing more rapidly. They were damaging the crops and spreading diseases.Now, the people are still poor. But in the evenings they sit in the village square and listen to sounds of insects and frogs. These sounds of the night now have a much deeper meaning.( )58.

Good old days will never be forgotten.DIt feels like every time my mother and I start to have a conversation, it turns into an argument. We talk about something as simple as dinner plans and suddenly, my mother will push the conversation into World War III. All these because I don’t plan to be a doctor. And much to her sadness, I don’t want to do any job related(和…相关) to science, either. In fact, when I said that I planned to major(主修) in English and communications, Her heart was broken.“Why can’t you be like my friend’s son?” she bemoans(抱怨) all the time. Her friend’s son received a four-year scholarship and is now earning 70,000 dollars a year as an engineer. I can’t be like him. He is Mr. Perfect. I’m the type of person who loves to help out in the community, write until the sun goes down, and most of all, wants to achieve a career because I love it, not because of fame (名声) or salary(薪水).I understand why my mother is worried about my future major. I’ve seen my mother struggle to raise me on her small salary and work long hours. She leaves the house around 6.30 a.m. and usually comes home around 5 p.m. or even 6 p.m. Howe ver, I want her to know that by becoming a doctor, it doesn’t mean I’ll be successful. I’d rather follow my dreams and create my own future.( )62. Which topic do the writer and his mother often talk about?A. The writer’s studies.B. The writer’s fut ure jobC. Dinner plansD.

They used to have money to spend , and free time to while away. They used to wear teenage clothes, and meet in teenage coffee bars and discos. Some of them still do. But for many young people, life is harder now. Jobs are difficult to find. There’s not so much money around. Things are more expensive, and it’s hard to find a place to live in. Teachers say that students work harder than they used to. They are less interested in politics (政治), and more interested in passing exams. They know that good exam results may bring them better jobs.Most young people worry more about money than their parents did twenty years ago. They try to spend less and save more. They want to be able to get homes of their own one day.For some, the answer to unemployment(失业) is to leave home and look for jobs in one of Britain’s big cities. Every day hundreds of young people arrive in London from other parts of Britain, looking for jobs. Some find jobs and stay. Others don’t, and go home again, or join the unemployed in London. ( )67.

For example, some high school and college students in the US often spend many hours as volunteers in hospitals, orphanages(孤儿院) or homes for the aged. They read books to the people in these places, or they just visit them and play games with them or listen to their problems.Other young volunteers go and work in the homes of people who are sick or old. They paint, clean up, or repair their houses, do their shopping or mow their lawns. For boys who no longer have fathers there is an organization called Big Brothers. College students and other men take these boys to baseball games or on fishing trips and help them to get to know things that boys usually learn from their fathers.Each city has a number of clubs where boys and girls can go to play games or learn crafts. Some of these clubs show movies or organize short trips to the mountains, the beaches, museums or other places of interest. Most of these clubs use a lot of high school and college students as volunteers because they are young enough to remember the problems of younger boys and girls. Volunteers believe that some of the happiest people in the world are those who help to bring happiness to others.( ) 70 . How do volunteers usually help those who are sick or old?A. They mow their lawns, do their shopping and clean up their houses.B. They cook, sew or wash their clothes.C. They tell them stories and sing and dance for them.D.
