高考“短文写作”指导一、特点分析湖北高考“短文写作”近三年来题型稳定，呈现出以下特点：1. 体裁明显：夹叙夹议的半开放式作文2. 词数增加：从100词增加到120词左右3. 分值加重：从25分增加到30分4. 贴近学生：题材现实感强，富于哲理性，考生易于动笔5. 联系教材：话题与高中教材紧密联系2011-2013年湖北“短文写作”考查情况如下表所示：所得与二、写作策略从写作形式上讲，湖北高考的写作题型是比较典型的三段(或两段)式作文，即：引入段—叙述段—总结段。

引入段：从写作话题入手，提出一个问题或引出一个故事。

一般由一句或两句简短的话语组成。

叙述段：短文的主体。

讲述一个与写作话题相关，能证明中心思想的故事。

这个故事往往是由作者“讲述”而非直接“叙述”，人物的活动或语言是由作者描述和转述，很少直接引用，故而用词不多，篇幅不大。

总结段：作者讲述故事之后，用一到两句话概括蕴含在其中的哲理，从所讲述的故事中，表达作者的感想和体会，与前文的引入段遥相呼应，从而结束文章的写作。

根据情况，有时第一段的引入可以略去不写，而直接进入故事部分。

从写作实质上讲，湖北近三年的短文写作题体现了《考试说明》中“在考查考生的英语语言知识和语言技能的基础上，突出考查考生的综合语言运用能力，特别是运用英语获取信息、处理信息、以及分析问题和解决问题的能力”的要求，考生首先要能挖掘并提炼出所给材料的人文信息，从自己的生活经历或体验中感悟出一定的道理或哲理；其次，考生要有较强的语言控制能力，能用120左右的词来讲述一个事例，做到收放有度，详略得当，语言精准、到位。

三、解题方法湖北高考的短文写作必须有“审题—拟点(构思)—组句—成文—润色 (修改)”等过程。

下面我们以2013年湖北高考英语卷短文写作试题为例，谈谈半开放式作文的写作方法。

原题：请根据以下提示，并结合事例，用英语写一篇短文。

We all know that “sticks and stones may break our bones”, but we should also beaware that words can hurt people, too.注意：①无须写标题，不得照抄英语提示语；②除诗歌外，文体不限；③文中不得透露个人姓名和学校名称；④词数为120左右。

2. (2013·荆州模拟)Had it not been for the worsening air quality, the flightby the heavy fog for such a long time. (delay)如果不是空气质量越来越差, 航班不会因为大雾延误如此之久。

3. (2013·黄冈模拟)Kobe was hurt attempting a game-tying jumper on the baseline; otherwise, he the match. (participate)科比因跳跃抢球落地不稳而受伤, 不然, 他就参加比赛了。

4. (2013·武昌模拟)But for his help, we the program on time. (finish) 要是没有他的帮忙, 我们就不可能按时完成这个项目了。

5. (2013·黄冈模拟)Luckily we brought with us a map, without which wein the jungle. (get)幸运的是, 我们带着地图, 要不然就在丛林中迷路了。

6. (2013·荆门模拟)Without the flood in the village ten years ago, the group of youthsa happy life with their parents during their childhood. (lead)如果不是因为十年前村子里的那场洪水, 这群青年在他们童年时本来能够与父母一起过着幸福的生活。

完形填空(建议用时: 40分钟)AThe“Doorman〞On a trip to California, my family stopped for lunch.

We bring in things and ideas to make the office more fun. I was looking for something fun and different and that’s how I discovered the “Smile” cards a website offers. I ordered some and used them to do some of the kindness ideas which I had read about and turned them into Thanksgiving ideas. I wanted to give thanks to my co-workers for all the help and support they have given me since I started working there.Since I began my employment, I have had a series of events that have changed my life, including the loss of one of my daughters last year and most recently the loss of my brother. Through these tragedies(悲剧), my co-workers have continued to show me a huge amount of care and understanding. Often, during these times of need they have filled in for me when I was not able to come to work, or have offered kind gifts when I was in short of money, and have showed a deep and loving understanding when I was feeling very low and discouraged.They have truly been my main strength in being able to overcome some very serious problems I have faced during the last couple of years. Most employers or co-workers might have turned the other cheek and chose not to be involved or have looked down on me in judgment during these times, however, not once have they given up on me.This group of people are truly part of a unique and rare breed that still tries hard to give values such as respect, honor, spirit, and honesty not only into the workplace, but also within each other. I have worked in several different types of firms and never met a more devoted and loving set of people to work with. I just wanted to share this story to offer my thankfulness for such acts of kindness and recognize this group of people for all their hard work and understanding.In this day and age, it is so nice to know that such values are still at work. It is much too easy for most people to be understood by their own difficulties to be able to truly make such a powerful impact on other persons’ life.1. Where did the author find the “Smile” cards?A. In a store a friend told her.B. From a website online.C. From a newspaper today.D. From a TV program.2. Who does the author plan to send the “Smile” card to according to the passage?A. Her family members.B. Her earlier fellow workers.C. Her pen friends made online.D. Her present fellow workers.3. What made the author in low spirits and feel sad?A. Her loss of a new job.B. Her loss of a kind friend.C. The unemployment in the new year.D. The death of her daughter and brother.4. Why does the author write the passage?A. To make more kind friends now.B. To sell the “Smile” card to others.C. To express thanks to her co-workers.D. To find a new job in a new company.BAs children reach kindergarten and early grade-school age, they continue to become increasingly more aware of the wider world beyond home, school and their neighborhood. If you haven’t already done so, this can be an excellent time to teach your child about the environment, a nd how you can work together to go green as a family. If you’ve already introduced some eco-friendly habits in your home, here are some ways your growing child can contribute more to the greening of his world and beyond.My 7-year-old son discovered a magazine cover on the table that featured a cover line about polar bears being endangered because of global warming. I decided to be straight with him—I said yes, there is a danger to polar bears and other wildlife because of pollution. But I told him that we can all do something to go green and help make a difference, and perhaps help the polar bears and all living things on our planet.My grandmothers were immigrants(移民)who lived through wars in South Korea. They used to constantly remind me to turn off the lights, and even not to use too much toilet paper. As it turns out, these were great lessons. Have your child get into the habit of turning off lights and electronic equipment when he’s not using them. A nice bonus(津贴): reducing electricity use can help cut down your bills. A grade-schooler is old enough to understand that water comes from lakes and pools. Explain that wasting it can affect everyone who depends on that water. Wasting water also means wasting energy. A tap that runs for five minutes is equal to letting a 60-watt bulb run for 14 hours, according to the Environmental Protection Agency.Make it easier for your grade-schooler to go green by choosing different baskets for glass, metal, paper, and plastic. Have your child draw pictures of recyclable types to mark each basket. Once a season or more, have your child help you look for used clothing, books, toys and other things around the house to give away to local shelters(避难所).5.
