Pygmalion

【导语】

《皮格马利翁》的神话故事我们耳熟能详，听一听Patricia Barber的这首歌，它会使我们对这个熟悉的故事有更深刻的理解。

Pygmalion —Patricia Barber Cold as stone，

possessor of bone－chilling beauty

I，alone

wanting but not wanting to be

scratching and clawing at this

waiting for something to give

So give me a sign

a shiver，a sigh

a look in your eye

a reason to live

Fantasy still

captor and captive are we

strangers until

desire and goddess intrigue

a slanting and movement of hips

a flush，a warmth of the skin

as night falls I wait

for breath，for fate

the sweet salty taste

pressing lips on lips

1

Unrequited love

is what I know of love

spellbound

I will stay

imagination may be for fools

imagination may be cruel

to be kind

at the end

of the day

Ivory girl

chiseled and cooler than clay

icy reserve

is provocation.will you betray

eyes that linger and hold too fast? if you stumble，if the mask

should crumble or fall

warm blooded after all

the longer you stall

so shall I last 【词海拾贝】

如何写图表作文

图表作文是近十年高考书面表达常考形式之一，它要求学生对数据、文字内容进行分析，系统准确地表达出图表的含义与内容，并得出令人信服的结论。

1．审读图表前的文字说明，弄清图表性质，做到“四确定”。首先，确定文章体裁；其次，确定文章的结构；再次，确定文章的时态，动词是句子的核心，时态是句子的灵魂；最后，确定文章的人称。高考书面表达评分说明中曾要求“凡不以第一人称口吻表达者，从原

11

得分中扣除7分”，由此可见人称错误很有可能满盘皆输。

2．审读图表后的要求，寻找做题规律，要注意以下几个方面：

(1)词数：××左右。

(2)开头或结尾已给出。这就要求考生首先不能另行开头或结尾；其次，要细读所给语句的人称、时态和语言表达风格与口吻，力求前后一致。

(3)内容完整，即要点齐全。图表中的内容要注意详略得当和准确全面。

(4)行文连贯。行文时要必须做到形连和意连。形连要力求特色词汇的使用，以增加得分“亮点”。意连要求能涵盖高考书面表达各种文体常用的几个特色词和短语，如：however；besides；instead；in the meanwhile；for instance；on the contrary；worse still；in conclusion；all of a sudden；as a matter of fact等，只有这样才能写出好文章。

(5)注意句式的变化，力求在语言表达正确的基础上追求句式变换，确保语言表达的高级性。常见写作技巧主要包括：简单句与复合句的交错使用；主动语态为主，适度穿插被动语态；大胆使用平行结构；适当调整句中定语、状语的位置，使句子表达多样化；三大从句与三种非谓语动词灵活互换；特殊句式(如强调句、感叹句、疑问句、省略句)点缀其间等。

总之，图表作文写作要坚持“慢审快写”的原则，必须牢记：审读提示，弄清结构与体裁，时态、人称要得当，开头、结尾要呼应；再读图表，句子结构要搭配语言习惯。

【典型句式】

1．首段常用句式：

I made a survey of...

12

In order to work out/find out...I made a survey... Recently，a survey has been done about.../Recently，we've conducted a survey to find out... 2．中段常用句式：

As the survey/chart/diagram shows.../According to the survey/chart/diagram... Some students think...while the other students argue that... The reason why.../for..，is that... What caused me to...are as follows.First...Second...Third... Last but not least... The reason behind it is that... 3．末段常用句式：

It can be seen/concluded that... We can make a conclusion that... In conclusion... I think that... In my opinion...

Is it the only way out to go to college? On_Monday，we_had_a_discussion_about whether it is the only way out for senior students to go to college at the class meeting. 60% of us consider it very necessary to go to college because it can help us to improve our knowledge as well as our quality，which will be an advantage to find a good job.30% of the students hold the view of “all roads lead to Rome”，thinking it doesn't make any difference whether they will go to college or not.However，the others confirm they don't go to college for its high tuition and it is hard for college graduates to find jobs. In my opinion，we can receive a better education at college so that we can make greater contributions in the future.

Ⅲ.阅读理解

阅读下面短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项。

Have you seen a historical film recently? Do you think it was accurate? Some say that there is no such thing as a historical film. In

18

many cases, Hollywood film－makers simply change the facts. Just look at these supposedly “historical” films.

1．The

Patriot

The film was released in 2000 and was directed by Ronald Emmerish and starred Mel Gibson. It is set near Charleston，South Carolina，during the American Revolutionary War ( 1775—1783) and follows the story of Benjamin Martin and his fight for American freedom against the

British.The film was criticized for inventing and exaggerating British cruelty. The most criticized scene was one showing the burning of a church containing people of the town,

of

which

there

is

no

historical

record. Another historical inaccuracy was the description of American－owned slaves being freed to serve with the American forces. In reality, many slaves ran away from their American owners and fought with the British against the Americans. 2．Brave

Heart

The film(1995) starred Mel Gibson was directed by Toby Reisz. It is based on the life of Scottish national hero William Wallace and his fight against English rule in Scotland during the 13th century. The film includes an affair between William Wallace and Princess Isabella (based on Isabella of France). The film implies she is a mother－to－be when William Wallace will be killed. However, historically, the real Isabella was a child of nine still living in France at this time, never having met Wallace. The film also caused controversy because of its anti－English nature. Apparently, when the film was shown in Glasgow, there was a loud noise made by happy American audience. 3．U－571

19

This 2000 film was directed by Jonathan Mostow and starred Mathew MacConaughey, Havey Keitel and Jon Bon Jori. It took place during the Second World War (1939—1945). In the film, a German submarine(underwater warship) is boarded in 1942 by American soldiers who made themselves up as Germans. They took away the German submarine's code－language machine,

which,

in the film,

helped the Americans

get

many

secret

messages

from

Germany. However, the film was heavily criticized because it was actually the British who got the machine in May 1941 when they boarded U－110. The movie was also criticized for showing a scene where the U－boat sailors killed American sailors in the water after their ship sank, which is, in 99% cases, impossible to happen. 4. The 300 Spartans The latest controversy surrounds the film The 300 Spartans. The film (directed by Zack Synder) tells the story of the battle between the Greeks and Persians in 480 BC. It is regarded as a key event in the birth of western democracy(民主) by some historians. In the film, 300 Spartans under the king fight against the enemies, 120, 000 Persians led by Emperor Xerxes. The tiny Spartan forces repeatedly gain advantage over the invaders. These actions delay the Persians' attack and give the Greek armies enough time to prepare for the defense

of

Athens. But

the

Iranians

(modern－day Persians) aren't happy with the film. They say the film describes them as savage, killing－loving and war－loving. 【语篇解读】

这是一篇介绍性文章，主要向读者介绍了4部与历史有关的较为优秀的好莱坞电影《孤军雄心》《勇敢的心》《U－571》《三百斯巴达勇士》。

1．This article mainly________．

A．praises four “historical”

films B．shares with us four great movies C．tells the readers about the inaccuracy of four “historical”

films D．expresses the writer's positive attitude towards the “historical”

films 解析：主旨大意题。根据四部电影的内容来看，每一部都因为与历史事实有所偏差而遭到了批评，结合首段内容可以判断作者介绍了它们的失实之处。其他三项均不符合题意，故选C。

答案：C

2．As far as time is concerned, the war in________broke out earliest. A．The 300 Spartans

B．U－571

C．The Patriot

D．Brave Heart

解析：细节理解题。第一部电影的背景是在1775—1783年，第二部是在13世纪，第三部是在1939—1945年第二次世界大战期间，最后一部则是在公元前480年，所以最后一部电影的战争发生时间最早，故选A。

答案：A

3．Mel Gibson, a great American actor, starred in________．

A．Brave Heart and U－571 B．The Patriot and Brave Heart

C．The 300 Spartans and Brave Heart

D．The Patriot and The 300 Spartans 解析：细节理解题。根据1.The Patriot中“The film was released

21

in 2000 and was directed by Ronald Emmerish and starred Mel Gibson.”和2.Brave Heart中“The film (1995) starred Mel Gibson was directed by Toby Reisz.”可知梅尔·吉布森出演了The Patriot和Brave Heart，故选B。

答案：B

4．The passage probably comes from a________．

A．film poster

C．film review

B．fashion magazine D．tour guide 解析：推理判断题。根据全文内容来看，本文是对电影的评论，故选C。

答案：C

Ⅳ.七选五

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

__1__ Have you heard statements like “If you love me，you would do this for me”

or “You should be ashamed of yourself？”

Statements like these are used by people to make you feel guilty because you have made a mistake and disappointed someone，or if someone wants a favour of you.Guilt is a destructive emotion that is a waste of time.__2__ To overcome guilt from your life，use the following steps：

·Know the past can't be changed. Whatever happened or whatever you did in the past，you can't remove or change it by feeling guilty.If you cry and shout，you will not make the past different.It is better not to concentrate on the present.__3__

22

·__4__ If you hurt someone while not meaning it，apologize for what you have said or done and then forgive yourself.What happened in the past will teach you a lesson，so you won't repeat it again，but it is important to forgive yourself. ·Let the people you deal with know

you are not easy to feel guilty. If your boss gives you a hand time because you don't work overtime and starts saying that there is no money award for you to make you feel guilty，then you can say things like “That is perfectly fine.I will get the award next time.”

__5__Don't deny guilt or run away from it.Analyze it and deal with it.No matter how much time you spend feeling guilty，you are not going to be able to change it. A．You have to face guilt to overcome it. B．Try to learn from your experience. C．Do something useful to improve your life and your future. D．Don't let anyone make you feel guilty. E．So you should learn to remove guilt. F．Someone has disappointed you. G．It is important to apologize. 答案：1.D
