2017年高考英語作文最新熱點預測與練習
熱點1:美國金融危機
寫一篇以金融危機為主題的英語作文。
參考詞匯:
金融危機:financial crisis
參考例文:
what caused the financial crisis?
i think we can sum up(總結(jié),概括) the cause of our current economic crisis in one word — greed(貪婪).
over the years, mortgage lenders were happy to lend money to people who couldn‘t afford their mortgages. but they did it anyway because there was nothing to lose. these lenders were able to charge higher interest rates and make more money on sub-prime loans. if the borrowers default,they simply seized the house and put it back on the market. on top of that, they were able to pass the risk off to mortgage insurer or package these mortgages as mortgage-backed securities. easy money!and what went wrong with our financial system?
the whole thing was one big scheme. everything was great when houses were selling like hot cakes and their values go up every month. lenders made it easier to borrow money,and the higher demand drove up house values. higher house values means that lenders could lend out even bigger mortgages, and it also gave lenders some protection against foreclosures. all of this translates into more money for the lenders, insurers, and investors. unfortunately, many borrowers got slammed when their adjustable mortgage finally adjusted. when too many of them couldn‘t afford to make their payments, it causes these lenders to suffer from liquidity issue and to sit on more foreclosures than they could sell. mortgage-backed securities became more risky and worth less causing investment firms like lehman brothers to suffer.
moreover,insurers like aig who insured these bad mortgages also got in trouble. the scheme (體系,結(jié)構(gòu))worked well, but it reverses course and is now coming back to hurt everyone with a vengeance.

in the beijing olympic games chinese athlete liu xiang dropped out of the race due to his foot injury, which led to a heated discussion among people across the country.
according to a survey conducted by sina website, about 34% of the people think an athlete should quit the race when injured since health is much more important than a gold medal; while nearly 20% of the netizens believe that an injured athlete should hold on to the end instead of giving up halfway. they regard the sport field as a battlefield in which every athlete should fight for the honor of his or her country in spite of any difficulty.
in my opinion, it’s a right choice for liu xiang to choose to quit the race. for one thing, nothing is more important than health and sports doesn’t mean sacrificing one’s health for a gold medal; for another, after liu xiang recovers fully, he still has many chances to realize his dream.

參考例文:
in recent years, the topic whether it is fair for athletes to pocket large sums of money has aroused more and more discussion.

however, some people have different ideas. they consider that athletes do little to boost the national economy directly. thus they should not receive so much money.
i believe that they should get high salaries, considering all the efforts they have made.

dear mr. wang,
we’re so pleased that you are willing to share our views.
in the course of the general revision, what we need is solid foundation. as you know, we didn’t learn well enough in the first two years, so please slow down and make sure we have really mastered something. besides, we need a little more time to think for ourselves. as for those important points which also make us confused, would you please give us more practice in case we forget? meanwhile, we need your instruction, for example, in how to write in natural english. i still have another request: assign us less homework in order that we can do it more efficiently.
by the way, we often feel frustrated, which has a very bad effect on our study. we would appreciate it if you would give us some encouragement from time to time.

請你就《圣誕節(jié)將會取代春節(jié)嗎?》寫一篇100詞左右的英語短文并發(fā)表自己的看法。
參考例文:
will christmas replace the spring festival?
christmas arouses increasing attention year by year in china. christmas cards become popular with students. people hold christmas parties and exchange christmas girts. a lot or tv and radio programs about christmas are on. meanwhile the spring festival is less appealing (有吸引力的)to youngsters. thus some people wonder whether christmas will replace the spring festival.
this worry is fairly unnecessary. why ? one reason lies that christmas only affects christians,college students and joint-venture (合資企業(yè))workers. another reason is that christmas is mostly celebrated in cities. few people in countryside show extreme interest in this exotic(帶有異國情調(diào)的) festival. by contrast,the spring festival is the most influential traditional festival in every family.
i think,it is natural that with increasing exchanges with the west,a lot of western holidays have been gradually introduced into china. for us chinese we should never neglect or even discard our own traditional festivals. for centuries chinese have observed this traditional holiday to welcome the beginning of a new year. and we will treasure the spring festival forever.
熱點十:可持續(xù)發(fā)展

參考例文:
the idea of sustainable development has been accepted by the world. how to keep sustainable development is a big problem facing our planet.
the present situation is worrying. first,natural resources are becoming less than before. second,as some people are not aware of the importance of the environmental protection,the problems with it remain extremely serious to some degree. the gap between the rich and the poor has the tendency to become wider and wider.
to our great joy,many countries have taken action. on one hand,they have made relevant laws and regulations and put large amounts of money to the environmental protection. one the other hand,popularized education as well as international cooperation is being carried out.
as for myself,i should take the responsibility to devote myself to sustainable development,our future and the lives of our children and our grandchildren will be in danger.
