篇一：2016届苏州期中考试“选择”作文评讲材料
2016届苏州期中考试“选择”作文评讲材料20160119
一、原题回放：
19.根据以下材料，选取角度，自拟题目，写一篇不少于800字的文章；文体不限，诗歌除外。
深黄的林子里有两条岔开的路，很遗憾，我，一个过路人，没法同时踏上两条征途，伫立好久，我向一条路远远望去，直到它打弯，视线被灌木丛挡住。
……
隔了多少岁月，流逝了多少时光，我将叹一口气，提起当年的旧事：林子里有两条路，朝着两个方向，而我——我走上一条更少人迹的路，于是带来完全不同的一番景象。——美?弗罗斯特
二、写作指导
1.可以从“选择”的角度谈人生应该如何做出选择。从诗歌中来看，一条是畅通无阻的路，一条是长满绿草的路。这两条路可以说是人生的两种境遇，一种是非常顺利，毫无阻碍；一种是既充满挑战又充满机遇。应该如何作出选择，答案并不唯一，可以说不同的人有不同的选择，不同的时候有不同的选择，不同的处境有不同的选择。
2.可以从“成功因素”的角度来谈勇于创造的重要性。在两条岔开的路面前，勇者选择了那条“绿草茸茸，等待人去践踏”的路，而拥有这种开拓、创新的精神才能有新的领域里的不断成功。成功的因素也许有很多，但勇气必不可少。
三、同类素材
1.“鲨鱼”多德森回忆自己的过去时，说：“我出生在厄斯特县的一个农庄里，17岁的时候，从家里逃了出来。我来到西部完全是一个偶然的机遇。当时我挎着一小包衣服，沿路走去，想到纽约市。我打算到那里去挣大钱。我觉得我能行。一天傍晚，我到了一个三岔路口，不知道该走哪一条路。我琢磨了半个小时，终于选择了左面的一条。就在那天晚上，我遇到一个在乡镇旅行演出的西部戏班子，我跟着他们来到了西部。我常想，如果当时我选择了另一条路，会不会成为另一种人。”
2.“哦，我想你结果还是一样。”鲍勃·蒂德博尔愉快而有哲理地说，“我们选择的道路关系不大；我们成为哪一种人，完全由本质决定。”（欧·亨利《我们选择的道路》）
3.蜗牛从墙根往上爬，花费半天时间爬到屋檐下。在它走过的地方，留下一条若有若无的乳白色的路，这是它脚步经过的全部痕迹。看，小小的蜗牛多么踏实，它走过的路上布满脚印。
4.其实地上本没有路，走的人多了，也便成了路。——鲁迅
四、阅卷手记：主要问题是不能紧扣材料意旨，论述泛化，单纯论述“选择”、“勇气”如何如何重要。
如果紧扣材料意旨，立意可为“选择一条充满艰险但又充满希望的新路”；“勇敢地走出一条新路。”
五、同学例文：
不一样的选择，不一样的结果 2016届高三（1）班 顾徐娇
小蓝和小月是一对双胞胎姐妹，从小都是成绩优异、老师喜爱的好学生。如今也已长大成人，成家立业了。现在每每聚在一起，小月总会发出一声感慨：“哎，当年我要是也和你一样选择，如今也??”（倒叙手法，设置悬念，深谙记叙文写作要诀）
高三第一学期，通过艰苦努力，期末考试两姐妹都取得了令人满意的成绩，准备高高兴兴地回家过年，来年继续奋斗。班主任开了一个简短的学期结束班会，具体内容无非就是寒假注意安全、认真完成作业之类的话。哦，不，最后班主任又加上了一句：“现在国家正在推行一项高考新政策——大专提前单招，有兴趣的同学可以到我这儿来继续深入了解。”老师并没有把这件事大力宣传，只是象征性的完成任务式的向同学们通报了一下。班上的大多数同学也根本没当回事。他们认为，高中嘛，当然是要参加高考了，其他的??况且这还是大专，和他们的本科目标完全不在一个层次上。于是大家收拾完书包，打打闹闹地走出了教室，
小蓝在离开学校前向班主任老师要了一份资料。回到家中，就开始认真阅读起来。“小月，我们报这个单招吧？我看着挺好的，有好多优惠政策，以后也能转本，工作也好找。”“姐，以我们的成绩，考取本科是绝对没有问题的，快点别想这个心思了，爸妈也不会同意的。”可小蓝心意已定，她要去报单招。
当小蓝拿着这些资料去和父母商量的时候，一向和蔼可亲的父亲脸色突然大变，没等小蓝把话说完，就把资料往地下一扔：“你想都不要想。我只知道有高考，这些个东西无非就是骗人的。你??你！就是不许你去！！！”没想到小蓝也倔上了：“我已经决定了，我就是要去报。现在的本科生那么多，找个工作多困难啊！还不如有一技在手，工作块块好找！”小蓝硬是不顾老师的劝说、父母的反对、妹妹的不解、同学的嘲笑，坚定地去报考了高职单招。
她是班上唯一一个没有参加6月份高考的考生，在大家都硬着头皮往本科的独木桥上挤搡的时候，她选择了一条几乎没人走的新路。当然，小月最后也如愿考取了本科院校。
两年半后，小蓝还没有毕业，许多公司就找上了门点名要她，冲的就是小蓝在学校的各方面出色表现和一大堆的技能证书。四年后，小月也本科毕业了。尽管她在学校里各方面表现得也很优秀，但是本科毕业优秀的人太多，五六个人来抢一个职位。小月拼尽了全力好不容易才争到了一个职位，可工资又少得可怜，和已经工作了一年干得
风生水起的小蓝比起来，真是差得太远了。小月生怕自己工作哪里没做好，被老板炒了鱿鱼，因为后面排着队的人太多了。而小蓝却是老板怕她哪天跳槽了，公司业务就得“歇菜”，所以工资待遇都要比那些本科生好得多。
在大家都在走夏季高考考本科的那条路时，小蓝走上了一条更少人迹的路，但她却给自己创造了一番完全不同的靓丽的人生景象。（全文实有字数985）
选择新路 2016届高三（1）班危岳峰
有人说：人生就是在做选择题。人的一生，是做好人还是做坏人，是做好事还是做坏事，是诚信还是奸诈，是向美还是追丑??等等，这些都是亟待我们去做好的选择题。
假如现在，人生的道路有两条，一条畅通无阻，一条充满挑战和机遇，你会选择哪一条？听听那些已选择过的老人的话吧。无论他们是开心的还是后悔的，他们都会教你走那条充满挑战的路。当然，最后的决定权还是在于你。
一帆风顺的人生路看似简单，实际上都是苟延残喘，没有任何的活力。就像是走平原，没有高山，没有丽水，人生际遇是多么平淡。这样子活下去，人的生存能力就会降低，得到的成就也很有限，更不可能超过前人。选择一帆风顺的人，就其本质来说就是没有目标，就是懒惰成精，只想走上天和父母给你安排好了的路，而不愿意自己创出一条新路，当然也就不会看到勇敢的人们走过新路之后所看到的靓丽景象。（这一节写得深刻，揭示出了本质）
充满挑战的路就完全不一样了。“红军不怕远征难，万水千山只等闲。五岭逶迤腾细浪，乌蒙磅礴走泥丸。”何等豪迈，何其快哉！孔圣人也喜欢登山，望山的喜悦让他“小鲁”“小天下”。伏尔泰说：“生命在于运动。”从广义的角度讲，“运动”完全可以看成是奋斗，是竞争。生命只有在不断的奋斗中才会不断成长，选择了奋斗就是选择了将生命提升到更高的境界，而不是让自己的身体处于停息的状态，白白长出一身赘肉。孟子说过：“生于忧患，死于安乐。”挑战的路就是这样有趣，它总是充满着机遇。哥伦布富于挑战精神，硬是要寻找另一条通往印度的新海路，于是他发现了新大陆，名垂青史。这难道不是最好的证明吗？
战斗的意义是成长。选择了挑战，就是选择了更多成长的机会。成长过程中，我们去认识这个世界，去熟悉这个世界，去掌控这个世界。无论是谁，其至高成就总是来源于不断的挑战和奋斗，一帆风顺的人生表面上让人羡慕，但其实并非如此。一帆风顺是弱者才会选择的方式，然而弱者的结果就是他们最后还是弱者，因为他们缺乏成长的经历，直至后悔终身；而强者却是利用外界的挑战长成了强者，收获了一路鲜花，雨后的彩虹向他们绽开了笑脸。
古今中外，多少先人能士的事例告诉我们，宁愿选择挑战，也不要畅通无阻。因为只有蝼蚁才把挑战和坚信看成了高山，而龙的眼光在远方，它选择越过高山。（精彩的结尾，写出了霸气！）（全文实有字数894）
走自己的路 2016届高三（1）班 黄永俊
齐白石曾说：“学我者生，像我者死。”人生在世，总有踏着前人的脚步，仿效学习的过程。但若一直遵循别人走过的路，便会走向平庸，甚至走向灭亡。走自己的路，才能走出真我的风采。（观点鲜明，解决了“是什么”）
走前人留下的路，是为了收获一份经验，一种感悟。走自己的路，则是为了收获一份成功，一种回报。（写得精辟，耐人寻味）
在秦烟汉尘、唐风宋雨里，我寻觅着那些驻留在长空大地上的诗心墨痕，与风尘仆仆、艰难前行的先驱者们不期而遇。
“空山新雨后，天气晚来秋。”穿过明月清泉，竹林莲叶，我看见王维正在香案前吟哦。在那个才人辈出的年代，他宛如一株淡雅的莲花，散发出一种与众不同的馨香。“诗中有画，画中有诗。”他创造性地走出了一条与众不同的新路，在文学史上赢得了“诗佛”的美名。
“数风流人物，还看今朝。”几千年后的一个冬天，一位伟人站在六盘山上高声吟唱，他就是“中国人民的大救星”毛泽东。当机械教条主义者们把目光只停留在几个大城市的时候，他却创造性地提出了建立农村根据地的主张，走出一条以农村包围城市的新路，带领秋收起义的部队隐没进茫茫的竹海。尽管屡遭挫折，他却坚信“星星之火可以燎原”，率领中国人民打败了日本帝国主义，赶跑了蒋介石及其国民党反对派，让“中国人民从此站起来了”。
条条大道通罗马，何必每个人都遵循前人的脚步，去挤那一座独木桥？真正的猛士是不屑于走前人踏平的路的。他们觉得，踏上一条遍地荆棘的新路，在艰辛的开辟中，才能感受到人生无尽的乐趣。（以上论述“为什么”）
走自己的路，就要拿出勇气。像张纯如，不是没有人想过要揭露日军残酷屠杀中国人民的暴行，但只有她——一个二十多岁的弱女子，义无反顾地写成《南京暴行：被遗忘的大屠杀》。该书出版后，一时洛阳纸贵，激起强烈的社会反响。一个弱女子，敢于触及人类历史上最黑暗的一面，这该需要有多大的勇气啊！
走自己的路，就要善于动脑。不是每一条新路都能通向新路，这需要我们善于运用智慧的眼光，作深入细致的分析研判，才能在人生道路的岔路口上，选准正确的方向。
走自己的路，就要付出艰辛的努力。王右军写尽十八缸水，达芬奇画遍了不同的鸡蛋，曹雪芹历尽磨难才著成千古奇文《红楼梦》。一分耕耘，一份收获啊！（以上论述“怎么办”）
一个刘翔成功了，不代表人人都可以去学跨栏；一个丁俊晖成功了，不代表我们都可以辍学练球。走自己的路，不管前路有多少荆棘拦阻，拿出勇气，使出智慧，付出努力，才能收获属于自己的一份成功！（结尾精彩）（952）

The continuous presentation of frightening stories about global warming in the popular media makes us unnecessarily frightened. Even worse, it our kids.
Al Gore famously how a sea-level rise of 20 feet would almost completely Florida, New York, Holland, and Shanghai, the United Nations says that such a thing will not even happen, that sea levels will rise 20 times less than that.
When with these exaggerations (夸大), some of us say that they are for a good cause, and surely there is no done if the result is that we focus even more on dealing with climate change.
This is astonishingly wrong. Such exaggerations do plenty of harm. Worrying extremely about global warming means that we worry less about other things, we could do so much more good. We focus, , on global warming’s impact on malaria (疟疾)—which will put more people at in 100 years—instead of helping the half a billion people from malaria today with prevention and treatment policies that are much cheaper and dramatically more than carbon reduction would be.
Exaggeration also wears out the public’s to cope with global warming. If the planet is certain to be destroyed global warming, people wonder, why should we do anything?
The cost of exaggeration, I believe, is the unnecessary alarm that it causes —particularly among children. An article in The Washington Post mentioned nine-year-old Alyssa, who cries about the possibility of mass animal from global warming.
The newspaper also reported that parents are effective outlets for their 8-year-olds’ concern with dying polar bears. They might be better off educating them and letting them know that, to common belief, the global polar bear population has doubled over the past half-century, to about 22,000. the possible disappearing of summer Arctic ice, polar bears will live on with us.
31. A. exhaustsB. amazes C. terrifiesD. interests

33. A. cover B. flood C. reduce D. expand
34. A. even though B. as if C. in that D. in case
35. A. measuring B. proving C. estimating D. advocating
36. A. facedB. identified C. filled D. entitled
37. A. good B. harm C. benefit D. disadvantage
38. A. announcement B. argumentC. story D. dialogue

第三部分：阅读理解 (共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)
请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Below are the four most famous bridges in the world.
Ponte Vecchio Bridge
The Ponte Vecchio (literally “old bridge”) is a bridge built in the Middle
Ages over the Arno River in Florence, Italy, the only Florentine bridge to
survive World War II. The bridge is unique for still having shops built along
it, as was common in the days of the Medici. Butchers originally occupied
souvenir sellers. It is said that the economic concept of bankruptcy originated here: when a merchant could not pay his debts, the table on which he sold his goods was physically broken by soldiers, and this practice was called “bancorotto (broken table)”. Golden Gate Bridge
The Golden Gate Bridge is a suspension bridge spanning the Golden Gate,
the strait between San Francisco and Marin County to the north. It is the
masterwork of architect Joseph B. Strauss, whose statue graces the southern
observation deck. The bridge took seven years to build, and was completed in 1937. The Golden Gate Bridge used to be the longest suspension bridge span in the world. And today it has become one of the most popular tourist attractions in San Francisco and California. Since its completion, the span length has been surpassed by eight other bridges. The famous red-orange color of the bridge was specifically chosen to make the bridge more easily visible through the thick frog that frequently covers the bridge. Millau Bridge Started in 1998 and opened to traffic in 2005, the Millau Viaduct is a huge cable-stayed road-bridge that spans the valley of the river Tarn near Millau in southern France. It is the tallest highway bridge in the world, with the highest pylon’s summit at 343 meters—slightly taller than the Eiffel Tower. The speed limit on the bridge was reduced from 130 km/h to 110 km/h because of traffic slowing down, due to tourists taking pictures of the bridge from the vehicles. Shortly after the bridge opened to traffic, passengers were stopping to admire the landscape and the
bridge itself.
Charles bridge The Charles Bridge is a famous stone Gothic bridge that crosses the Vltava River in Prague, Czech Republic. Its construction started in 1357 under the support of King Charles IV, and finished in the beginning of the 15th century. As the only means of crossing the river Vltava, the Charles Bridge was the most important connection between the Old Town and the area around Prague Castle. Connection made Prague important as a trade route between Eastern and Western Europe. Today it is one of the most visited sights in Prague with painters, owners of kiosks and other traders alongside numerous tourists crossing the bridge.

The continuous presentation of frightening stories about global warming in the popular media makes us unnecessarily frightened. Even worse, it our kids.
Al Gore famously how a sea-level rise of 20 feet would almost completely Florida, New York, Holland, and Shanghai, the United Nations says that such a thing will not even happen, that sea levels will rise 20 times less than that.
When with these exaggerations (夸大), some of us say that they are for a good cause, and surely there is no done if the result is that we focus even more on dealing with climate change.
This is astonishingly wrong. Such exaggerations do plenty of harm. Worrying extremely about global warming means that we worry less about other things, we could do so much more good. We focus, , on global warming’s impact on malaria (疟疾)—which will put more people at in 100 years—instead of helping the half a billion people from malaria today with prevention and treatment policies that are much cheaper and dramatically more than carbon reduction would be.
Exaggeration also wears out the public’s to cope with global warming. If the planet is certain to be destroyed global warming, people wonder, why should we do anything?
The cost of exaggeration, I believe, is the unnecessary alarm that it causes —particularly among children. An article in The Washington Post mentioned nine-year-old Alyssa, who cries about the possibility of mass animal from global warming.
The newspaper also reported that parents are effective outlets for their 8-year-olds’ concern with dying polar bears. They might be better off educating them and letting them know that, to common belief, the global polar bear population has doubled over the past half-century, to about 22,000. the possible disappearing of summer Arctic ice, polar bears will live on with us.

A
Below are the four most famous bridges in the world.
Ponte Vecchio Bridge
The Ponte Vecchio (literally “old bridge”) is a bridge built in the Middle
Ages over the Arno River in Florence, Italy, the only Florentine bridge to
survive World War II. The bridge is unique for still having shops built along
it, as was common in the days of the Medici. Butchers originally occupied
souvenir sellers. It is said that the economic concept of bankruptcy originated here: when a merchant could not pay his debts, the table on which he sold his goods was physically broken by soldiers, and this practice was called “bancorotto (broken table)”. Golden Gate Bridge
The Golden Gate Bridge is a suspension bridge spanning the Golden Gate,
the strait between San Francisco and Marin County to the north. It is the
masterwork of architect Joseph B. Strauss, whose statue graces the southern
observation deck. The bridge took seven years to build, and was completed in 1937. The Golden Gate Bridge used to be the longest suspension bridge span in the world. And today it has become one of the most popular tourist attractions in San Francisco and California. Since its completion, the span length has been surpassed by eight other bridges. The famous red-orange color of the bridge was specifically chosen to make the bridge more easily visible through the thick frog that frequently covers the bridge. Millau Bridge Started in 1998 and opened to traffic in 2005, the Millau Viaduct is a huge cable-stayed road-bridge that spans the valley of the river Tarn near Millau in southern France. It is the tallest highway bridge in the world, with the highest pylon’s summit at 343 meters—slightly taller than the Eiffel Tower. The speed limit on the bridge was reduced from 130 km/h to 110 km/h because of traffic slowing down, due to tourists taking pictures of the bridge from the vehicles. Shortly after the bridge opened to traffic, passengers were stopping to admire the landscape and the
bridge itself.
Charles bridge The Charles Bridge is a famous stone Gothic bridge that crosses the Vltava River in Prague, Czech Republic. Its construction started in 1357 under the support of King Charles IV, and finished in the beginning of the 15th century. As the only means of crossing the river Vltava, the Charles Bridge was the most important connection between the Old Town and the area around Prague Castle. Connection made Prague important as a trade route between Eastern and Western Europe. Today it is one of the most visited sights in Prague with painters, owners of kiosks and other traders alongside numerous tourists
