99年高考作文篇一

以1999年高考作文命题为发端

以1999年高考作文命题为发端，随着2000年考纲对作文“发展等级”的确立，作文高考的改革已悄然兴起。它打破了20多年来高考作文命题相对封闭的模式，伴随着课程、大纲、教材更新的快节奏，给中学作文教学的改革带来了新思维、新路子、新局面。突出人本、贴近生活、发展个性、鼓励创新，已成为致力于作文教改的广大教师的共识。笔者作为一名工作在教学第一线的高中语文教师，也想把作文教改中的一些心得体会讲出来，求教于方家。

一.想象创新并非瞎编滥造

自“假如记忆可以移植以来”，“大胆想象”、“大胆创新”成了作文教学中最时髦、使用频率较高的词儿。这本无可非议，然而，想什么，怎么想，“度”在哪里，却少有问津。于是违反自然规律的瞎编滥造，有悖生活常识的耸人听闻，远离道德伦理的荒诞情节，在一些作文（甚至高考作文）中屡见不鲜，而这样的作文竟被视为“想象丰富”而倍加推崇。

为了廓清弥漫在作文教学中的这种“浮夸风”的迷雾，必须指出，想象创新必须基于现实的存在和超越。文章是以生活的真实为生命的，任何偏离社会轨道、违反生活逻辑的文章，不管它多么富有“想象”，都会因其失却真、善、美的内核而被弃之如废纸。

一个广为人知的例子：一个美国儿童拾到了一个巨蛋，其结尾让人来续。一个美国孩子续说他们把蛋搬回家，后来孵化出来了里根总统。这种结尾可以说是想象得很出奇，但笔者认为这只能说是胡思乱想的离奇，不合事理、情理。假如以此作为范例来提倡敢于想象，只会是一种误导，到头来只会使作文创新成为什么都可以是，又什么都可以不是的玩艺儿。

二.想象创新离不开基本功。

基本功就是指我们平时所说的“题意、中心、内容、结构、语言、文体、字体”七个方面的内容，其基本核心在于文字运用的基本功，也正是韩愈老夫子所言“文从字顺各识职”的关键之点。作文时谁也不会按照条条框框行文，而真正起作用的恰是语感，紧追思路，任意为文，缀文成章，这是不可否认的作文的要义。

不能想象，一篇创意新颖但文理不通的文章能够得到读者的推崇；一篇想象奇特但语无伦次的作文能拿到高分。因此必须指出“不上树就想摘桃子”的做法是要不得的，离开扎实的基本功训练大谈作文创新，只能是空中楼阁，其结果是可想而知的。

三.想象创新必须重视思维训练。

著名作家王尔德说得好：“第一个用花比美人的是天才，第二个用的是庸才，第三个就是蠢才了。”

作文是创造性的劳动。目前高考、中考作文都要求有创意，可是真正有创意而令人耳目一新的文章却凤毛麟角，大都是人云亦云、千人一面。那么怎样才能做到不步人后尘，而“发人之所未发呢？”笔者认为，最必要的条件就是要培养学生的创新思维能力。

（一）求异思维可以避免人云亦云。是创新性的一个重要特点。作文教学应注意学生求异思维和创新意识的培养，特别是课堂上，要注意培养学生全方位，多角度的思考问题，鼓励学生敢于标新立异，不进框、不落套、不师云亦云、不邯郸学步。应设法引导学生突破常规，拓展思路，寻求多种解决问题的方法，找出最佳方案。反映学校生活、师生情感的文章举不胜举，要想使文章打动读者的心，必须突破传统的思维模式。或在结构上独创，不落窠臼，走出俗套；或在内容上出新，选材新颖，构思独特；或在语言表述上取胜，高人一筹。2001年高考考场作文《赤兔之死》之所以获得满分，不能不说凭借的是作者扎实的文言功底。

（二）逆向思维常能令人耳目一新。对一些问题也可以从反面或对立面进行审视，从而得出新的结论，即我们平常所说的“反弹琵琶”。我们运用逆向思维就可以重新审视为人们所熟知的一些熟语或警句，如“班门弄斧”指在行家面前卖弄本领，对此人们一贯持否定、批评态度，但在新的历史条件下，鼓励人们敢于向权威挑战，展示自己的实力，故提倡“弄斧必到班门”；再如“酒香也怕巷子深”；“忠言不必逆耳，良药未必苦口”；“没有异想，何来天开”；“马无夜草也肥，人无横财也富”；“严父不一定出孝子，严师不一定出高徒”；“走，并非上策”等也

都有其存在的合理性，这些逆向思维所得出的结论独辟蹊径，令人耳目一新。

想象作文是不依据任何现成的描述而独立创造形象、表现个性化主题的结晶。从根本上说，是一个人的个性和独创性的张扬，是不同于他人的主题精神的对象化和外化。对于学生而言，创新是不同于自然科学的发明创造的。作文创新应该是“自我实现的创造性”。学生在作文中表达了自己的真知灼见，抒发了自己的真情实感，发挥了自身的想象能力，那么便是有创新。

高考作文

高考作文：怎样拟写新奇醒目的小标题

《惟“险远之地”见“奇观”》 《论生活中的“花”与“刺”》

《论“带刺”的玫瑰》 《花伞》

《水乡的桥》 《五环旗》

《妹妹的圆脸》 《荷叶上的露珠》

《春雨潇潇》 《还是我去干》

《洗礼》 《他和她》

《红雨衣》 《从净化自己脚下的那块土地开始》

《动口与动手》 《梧桐树下》

《树皮“爆响”的话题》

5、 运用修辞法

[1] 对比式， 例如：生于忧患，死于安乐。得道多助，失道寡助。有一位考生以由对比组成的选择问句 “我是天才，还是笨蛋？————假如记忆可以移植 ”为题，对比鲜明，隐含自己对记忆移植利弊的褒贬鄙视那些甘心做“专门记录科学家理论与思想的机器”和毫无主见的“人体缩微记忆库”的人，富有吸引力。

[2] 比喻式， 2000年有一考生拟题“人生也是一张答卷”，该考生把人生比成一张答卷，并以“选择题、填空题 判断题和问答题”分述，最后点明“在人生这张大考卷上，答案看似丰富多彩，但要交出一份满意的答卷，远非想象中那么简单”，新颖独特。

[3] 夸张， 以“挫折 ”为话题——《那个障碍粉碎了我》

[4] 反问， 99年高考，“假如记忆可以移植”——《我是谁？》

[5] 设问， 以“效率”为话题——《我今天做了什么？》

[6] 借代， 以“关注生活”为话题——《倾听自己的心跳》，“心跳 ”指代某次独特的自身经历。

[7] 对偶， 以“环保”为话题——《 一头白发，满山青葱》

[8] 拟人， 以“树”为话题——《树的“叹息”》。以环保为话题——《地 球就诊记》{99年高考作文}.

[9] 呼告， 以“书”为话题——《别了，漫画书！》。以“关注生活 ”为话题——《给生活加点苦吧！》

[10] 引用诗句， “假如记忆可以移植”——《前不见古人，后不见来者》 ——陈子昂《登幽洲台歌》，表示对移植记忆的困惑。

其它还有：

倒装式， 《｛回来吧！妈妈｝》； 顶真式，《人贵有志，志在奋斗》

仿词式，《战胜脆弱，从心做起》；矛盾式，《死海不死》等等。

数学式：

采用数学的形式作标题，借以昭示所要表达的主旨，具有直观、醒目、富有哲理、吸引人等特点，往往收到出奇制胜之效。

例如： 数学中的恒等式 [“勤劳×高科技＝致富”]

不等式 [成绩≠素质]

荒谬式 [99＋1= 0] 其中 “99”代表合格产品率，“1” 代表不合格率，文题通过这种荒谬的计算式，揭示了质量意识的重要性。

一些学生认为学英语很重要；一些学生则认为不必学英语；我认为……（观点、理由）

Some students think it is very important to master English. They believe “A foreign language is a weapon in the

struggle of life”. Others consider English useless. They feel learning English is nothing but a burden to them.

In my opinion, English is one of the most important subjects we learn at school. Of all subjects I like English best.

There are several reasons why English is my favorite subject. First, English is one of the most widely used languages

of the world. Nearly all information on the Internet and over half of the world’s technical materials are in English, thus a good command of English will greatly benefit me in my work. Secondly，it is believed that good English also leads to greater chances and opportunities. In the competition for a well-paid job, the one who can speak English has an advantage over those who cannot.

For all these reasons we should not only learn English but master it in the shortest time possible. (166words)

An Unforgettable Lesson

In my life I have experienced many important things. But perhaps the most unforgettable thing which is really worth mentioning is the lesson given by my Chinese teacher just after she had an accident.

One morning just before our Chinese lesson, we were told our Chinese teacher, Miss Liu, had had an accident. One of her legs was badly injured and she couldn’t come to teach us. While we were planning to visit her after school, we also thought that maybe we would be free to do whatever we wanted during our Chinese lesson, and hoped our homework load would be reduced. But to our surprise, shortly after the bell, Miss Liu, with the help of a stick, came to the door of our classroom. With great respect w all stood up and greeted her.

She sat on a chair and began her lesson. She spoke slowly but forcefully. She prepared her lecture quite well and demanded that we do the same. Towards the end of the lesson, we got lots of homework from her.

A good teacher is many things to many people. Everyone has definite ideas about what a good teacher is. In my

opinion the teachers who demanded the most from the students are perhaps liked best. (210 words)

请你谈谈轿车大量进入家庭后，对家庭、环境和经济可能产生的影响。

Nowadays the number of people who own private cars is on the rise. Like everything else, private cars have both

favorable and unfavorable aspects. Generally, the favorable aspects can be listed as follows.

First, private cars can bring convenience and mobility to owners. A car allows a person to move comfortably and

safely as well as quickly and freely. Because my family owns a car, we are able to make extensive journeys every year. Therefore, I believe the tourist industry in China will develop more quickly with the increase in the number of private cars. Secondly, if more people buy cars, the automobiles industry will develop dramatically. What’s more, the growth of the automobile industry can trigger the boom of other important and related industries such as iron and steel production, energy and technological application.

Every coin has two sides. The negative aspects are also apparent. To begin with, too many cars will give rise to a series of problems, such as serious environmental pollution and more traffic accidents. In addition, the driver may have drive around and around looking for available parking spaces.

Through above analysis, we can see that private cars should be restricted rather than encouraged. (199 words)

Duo to the one-child policy in China, most families have only one child and therefore this child is regarded as the

treasure of the whole world family. Both the parents and grandparents usually over indulge the child.

We can see in the picture, When a child is learning to ride a bicycle, the parent and the grandparent are sweating from running alongside the bike and are trying their best to protect the child for fear that they should fall and hurt themselves.

We all know the greatest glory consists not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall. So I think, for the parents, they should be aware of the negative effect too much pampering has on their child. Under the parents’ protection, the child knows only comfort and ease. If they don’t learn how to live independently, how can they cope with the adversities which they will meet in the future?

For the children, they should let their parents know that they have confidence in themselves and are able to exist in the competitive community without the constant watchful eye of an eager parent.

The path to success is filled with various kinds of difficulties and obstacles. Only when we have learned to stand on our own two feet, can we survive in the 21st century. (219

Dear Xu Haiqing,

You said in your letter that many of your classmates were wearing fashionable clothes, but you couldn’t afford to buy the best brands. So you felt very depressed. There are different views on people’s wear. The following are my ideas about it.

Firstly, you shouldn’t put too much emphasis on physical appearance. You must always remember the most important task for you today is to concentrate your attention on your studies. No matter what you wear, you will really look your best when you come out first in your examinations.{99年高考作文}.

A famous saying goes, “Frugality is the mother of virtue.” So, secondly, you must understand that it is a fine virtue to learn live in frugality. Since your family is not able to provide you with enough money to buy clothes of the best brands, it is all the more necessary for you to try every means to lighten the financial burden of your family. You will find the virtue of frugality will benefit you a lot in your later life.

I hope you understand what I mean. I am sure you will take a positive attitude towards life and will be happy again when you read my letter. (205 words)

Today Miss Wang asked me to be in charge of the wall newspaper of our class. I was so glad at that. But now I don’t know whether I should accept the task or not.

Though I have been in Class 4 for nearly two years, I have hardly done anything for it. I think it will be a good opportunity to devote my efforts to class if I take the job. On the other hand, I’m good at drawing. The job will also provide me with a good chance to show my talent.

However, I know that taking the job means having less time to relax and study. Perhaps it will take me several days to complete an excellent wall newspaper. Perhaps it will affect my studies as well. Perhaps…

No! No! No! I should believe my ability. I can get everything arranged well: relaxing, study, wall newspaper… It will be an hour for me to do something for my class. I want to be a person who is glad to challenge himself.

Now, I’ve decided I’ll accept the job. I’ll tell my decision to Miss Wang tomorrow. (187)

生活中一件事，说明人各有所长，无论才能大小都能成为有用的人。

There is an old English saying that there must be use for my talent. I have regarded it as my motto for many years.

From my point of view, there is no difference between one person and another. With some useful talent, you will make your contributions to this society.

When I was ten years old, there was an old man living at the corner of xx Road. He didn’t have the opportunity to study in school, but he learned how to make wood furniture. Every time people went to ask him to solve some problems of furniture, he was willing to help them.

To my surprise, in his spare time, he would make some toys with small piece s of wood. Some of them were sold to the toy store and others were given to us. The moment I see the lovely toys made by this old man, I would remember the happy childhood.

From this old man, we can see whatever kind of talent you have, you can find your own method to display your talent. The most important factor is your confidence. If you believe that there must be a use for my talent, you will succeed. (200 words)

下表提供了你所心仪的南、北两所大学的招生信息。通过比较作出选择，并结合个人情况说明理由。

I dream to become an astronaut. Two universities in China can make my dream become true. They are both very good, but I can only choose one.

From the Internet, I learned that there are more advantages offered by the northern university than the ones by the southern one. For example, the fee charged by the northern one is lower. And it will add 20 marks while the southern university will not. In contrast, the southern university’s good point is that it enrolls more students.

After comparing the above information, I think I will choose the northern university for the following reasons. Firstly, my parents may not be able to afford my study and living expenses. Secondly, an addition of twenty marks is certainly an irresistible attraction. More importantly, four years of independent life in the north will obviously help develop my personality required as an astronaut.

·你是否会参加比赛

·你做出该决定的具体理由

Version 1:

A group dancing competition will be held in our school and the monitor calls on everybody to take an active part in it. While most of my classmates are still hesitating whether to participate, I have said yes to our monitor with great pleasure.

Generally speaking, there are two reasons for my decision. First, it is a good opportunity for me to relax myself, which will enable me to study more efficiently. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, so goes the saying, which clearly shows us the importance of relaxation. Besides, I think I am a good dancer after learning dance for more than five years. Participating in the contest will be a golden chance for me to show my dancing skills and make some contributions to the class.

For the two reasons mentioned above, it is no surprise that I have such a strong enthusiasm on the group dancing competition.

Version 2:

Today the monitor calls on everybody to take an active part in the group dancing competition which will be held in a couple of days in our school. But after some careful consideration, I have decided not to participate.

There are a number of reasons for my decision. First and foremost, as the College Entrance Exam is just around the corner, study is the top priority for me. Participating in the group dancing competition has to give way because it might take me too much time. What’s more, without any experience of dancing, I don’t think I can be a good dancing partner. I am afraid my poor dancing skills will probably spoil the performance of the whole class. In this case, it’s better for me to be a spectator cheering for my classmates.

For these reasons, it seems more appropriate for me to watch the competition than to dance myself.

瑞士是欧洲中部的一个小国，面积仅4．13万平方公里，人口仅660万，但它已600多年没经历战争了。瑞士与德国比邻，德国曾是两次世界大战的策源地，然而，瑞士在两次世界大战期间都免于战祸，原因是瑞士人不仅热爱自己的祖国，而且都有较强的国防观念和较好的军事素质，瑞士的一位外交家说：“如果问我们为什么600多年没有打过仗，其主要原因是我们随时都在准备打仗。”瑞士是个中立国，可他又是一个典型的军事国。在瑞士无论怎样小的村庄都有打靶场。在那里，所有年满20岁的男子都有服兵役的义务，第一年的入伍时间为17周，以后随着年龄的增长，第的参加2－3周的演习和军事训练，一直持续到50岁。军装、靴子、钢盔、枪支、背包等军事物资都保管在自己家里，经常整理，常备不懈，一旦有紧急情况，全国一天之内便可集结62．5万人的预备役部队。70年代以后，新建的公私住宅都必须备有用混凝土灌注，厚厚的铁门，里面又有很宽敞的地下核隐蔽所，这项开支可以从政府那里得到补助。

法国人从莫斯科撤走后，有两个农夫上街寻找食物。一个聪明，一个愚蠢。他们发现一些烧焦的羊毛，便说“这些羊毛有用”，便一人一

包背在身上。

路上，他们看见街上有许多布匹，聪明的农夫便扔掉羊毛，捆一捆布背在肩上，愚蠢的农夫说：“为啥要扔掉羊毛？捆得好好的，扎得牢牢的。”他一点布也没拿。

他们往前走，看见一些扔在街的衣服，聪明的农夫又把布扔掉，拾起衣服。愚蠢的农夫说：“我为啥要把羊毛扔掉？”

继续往前走，看见扔在地上的一些银餐具。聪明的农夫把衣服扔了，尽可能把银器收拾好带走，但愚蠢的农夫还是不肯丢弃他的羊毛，因为“捆得好好的，扎得牢牢的”。{99年高考作文}.

再往前走，他们看见路上有金了。聪明的农夫扔掉银器，拾起金子。但愚蠢的农夫却说：“羊毛已经捆得好好的，扎得牢牢的了。”

回家的路上，下雨了，羊毛淋得响透，愚蠢的农夫只好把羊毛全扔掉，两手空空回家；聪明的农夫却因得到金子而富裕起来。

From this old man, we can see whatever kind of talent you have, you can find your own method to display your talent. The most important factor is your confidence. If you believe that there must be a use for my talent, you will succeed. (200 words)

下表提供了你所心仪的南、北两所大学的招生信息。通过比较作出选择，并结合个人情况说明理由。

I dream to become an astronaut. Two universities in China can make my dream become true. They are both very good, but I can only choose one.

From the Internet, I learned that there are more advantages offered by the northern university than the ones by the southern one. For example, the fee charged by the northern one is lower. And it will add 20 marks while the southern university will not. In contrast, the southern university’s good point is that it enrolls more students.

After comparing the above information, I think I will choose the northern university for the following reasons. Firstly, my parents may not be able to afford my study and living expenses. Secondly, an addition of twenty marks is certainly an irresistible attraction. More importantly, four years of independent life in the north will obviously help develop my personality required as an astronaut.

你班将组队参加学校组织的集体舞比赛（group dancing cooipetition)，班长希望大家积极参加。对此谈谈你的看法。

你的文章必须包括以下内容：

·你是否会参加比赛

·你做出该决定的具体理由

Version 1:

A group dancing competition will be held in our school and the monitor calls on everybody to take an active part in it. While most of my classmates are still hesitating whether to participate, I have said yes to our monitor with great pleasure.

Generally speaking, there are two reasons for my decision. First, it is a good opportunity for me to relax myself, which will enable me to study more efficiently. All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy, so goes the saying, which clearly shows us the importance of relaxation. Besides, I think I am a good dancer after learning dance for more than five years. Participating in the contest will be a golden chance for me to show my dancing skills and make some contributions to the class.

For the two reasons mentioned above, it is no surprise that I have such a strong enthusiasm on the group dancing competition.

Version 2:

Today the monitor calls on everybody to take an active part in the group dancing competition which will be held in a couple of days in our school. But after some careful consideration, I have decided not to participate.

There are a number of reasons for my decision. First and foremost, as the College Entrance Exam is just around the corner, study is the top priority for me. Participating in the group dancing competition has to give way because it might take me too much time. What’s more, without any experience of dancing, I don’t think I can be a good dancing partner. I am afraid my poor dancing skills will probably spoil the performance of the whole class. In this case, it’s better for me to be a spectator cheering for my classmates.

For these reasons, it seems more appropriate for me to watch the competition than to dance myself.
