Question

14．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．
Education does Count（excerpt）-Bill Gates
Hundreds of students send me e-mail each year asking for advice about education．They want to know what to study，or whether it's OK to drop out of college since that's what I did．
My basic advice is simple and heartfelt．"Get the best education you can．Take advantage of high school and college．Learn how to learn．"
It's true that I dropped out of college to start Microsoft，but I was at Harvard for three years before dropping out-and I'd love to have the time to go back．As I've said before，nobody should drop out of college unless they believe they face the opportunity of a lifetime．And even then they should reconsider．
In my company's early years，we had a bright part-time programmer who threatened to drop out of high school to work full-time．We told him no．
Quite a few of out people didn't finish college，but we discourage dropping out．
Having a diploma certainly helps somebody who is looking to us for a job．
There's not a perfect correlation between attitudes in high school and success in later life，of course．But it's a real mistake not to take the opportunity to learn a huge range of subjects，to learn to work with people in high school，and to get the grades that will help you get into a good college．

Answer 1

分析 本文是读写任务型写作，这类作文可按照三段式模板写：第一段：概况所给短文要点．第二段：过渡词引出主题句---阐述理由．第三段：个人观点．特别要注意第一段的概括．用自己的语言概括，不能照搬照抄原文． 时态用一般现在时．人称用第一和第三人称． 重要短语：due to（由于），be sure to do sth （肯定会做某事），be beneficial to…（对…有益），drop out of school（辍学），have nothing to do with （与…无关），lighten the heavy financial burden （减轻经济负担），accumulate experience（积累经验），at an early age（在很小的年纪），as for（至于，关于），make full use of （充分利用），complete schooling（完成学业），achieve one's dream（实现某人的梦想）．
【高分句型一】
1．Some students want to drop out of school，①believing schooling has nothing to do with a successful career，②because there are many cases ③where people ④who don't finish their schooling are successful，such as Bill Gates．
①此处是由"现在分词+从句"作伴随状语，主句为"Some students want to drop out of school"．
②此处是由"because"引导的原因状语从句．
③此处是由关系副词"where"引导的定语从句，先行词为"case"．
     ④此处是由关系代词"who"引导的定语从句，先行词为"people"，关系代词"who"在从句中作主语．
【高分句型二】
1．Dropping out to find a job helps them to lighten the heavy financial burden on their parents．
此处是动名词短语"Dropping out to find a job"作主语，谓语动词用单数．
【高分句型三】
2．Schools are where people become knowledgeable．
此处是由连接词副词"where"引导的表语从句．
【高分句型四】
4．Schools are where people become knowledgeable．此处是部分倒装结构，具体结构为"Only+【状语成分：介词短语/when、if引导的从句/时间副词】+一般疑问句形式"．

解答 The author is often asked to give advice about education due to his successful experience．He thinks it is unwise to drop out and that learning is sure to be beneficial．（概括）
Some students want to drop out of school，believing schooling has nothing to do with a successful career，because there are many cases where people who don't finish their schooling are successful，such as Bill Gates．【高分句型一】Besides，the high tuition of college education is too much for ordinary families．Dropping out to find a job helps them to lighten the heavy financial burden on their parents．【高分句型二】Furthermore，experience counts most for a career and no wonder why some would like to accumulate experience by taking a job at an early age．（有些学生想中途放弃学业去创业的原因）
Knowledge is power．Schools are where people become knowledgeable．【高分句型三】（读书与事业之间的关系）
As for me，I will make full use of time to complete my schooling and achieve my dream．（个人观点：打算）

点评 读写任务型写作是将阅读与写作有机结合，要求考生既能读懂文章信息，又要依据要求规范连贯地表达内容，其中准确概括很有挑战且十分重要，根据记叙文、议论文、说明文等不同文体作相应概括，总的来说，遵循以下步骤：确定主题句；寻找关键词；重构主题句；重组支持句．写作时注意准确运用时态，上下文意思连贯，符合逻辑关系，尽量使用自己熟悉的单词句式，同时也要注意使用高级词汇和高级句型使文章显得更有档次，平时需注意积累短语和重要句型．
