毫无疑问,乐观者拥有更高的幸福指数,而悲观者永远也体会不到。因此我们必须以积极的态度面对生活。而且乐观的情绪能强烈地感染他人,这就意味着如果我们以乐观的视角面对周围的朋友们,他们也会同样地乐观。于是,乐观和幸福的气氛自然而然地就建立起来了。因此,让我们把著名诗人雪莱的名句铭记在心吧:冬天来了,春天还会远么? 名师点评
① where there is shadow, there is sunshine: 这句话读起来是不是很熟悉?
没错,它正是仿写了我们非常熟悉的谚语“Where there is a will, there is a way”:有志者,事竟成。
作者将这句话仿写得惟妙惟肖,可见作者对语言驾驭是何等的娴熟。
② while: 表示两种现象的对比、反差,常翻译成“而”。
③ perceptions and feelings: 近义词叠加。
近义词叠加也是一种向阅卷老师展示自己语言能力和词汇量的一种极为有效的手段。
翻译:只翻译出一种意思即可。即,这两个词合译为:感受。
④ Therefore, let s keep the famous line of shelley, the well-known poet, in mind for ever, that is, “If winter comes, can spring be far behind?”
全文的点睛之笔,堪称经典。
首先:keep sth. in mind 这个词组用得很地道。
其次:引用了雪莱的诗歌,表现出了深厚的文化底蕴。
第三:the famous line=“If winter comes, can spring be far behind?”即后者为前者的同位语。
同位语的介入,使句子结构错落有致,层次分明,朗朗上口。
第四:著名诗句“If winter comes, can spring be far behind?”淋漓尽致地诠释了乐观的生活态度。
实际上,历年真题的阅读中又何曾没有出现过这种模仿呢?广大考生可以去查阅2007年text 3中的最后一句:The financial fallout has begun, and the political fallout may not be far behind。
⑤ 非常重要: 本题题目要求最后一段也可能会变成:
support your view with an example/examples。
这时候,我们可以把文章的结尾改写为:
Examples of optimistic attitude toward life can easily be found anywhere in our world. How would have Zhang Haidi, suffering from the high paraplegia, made such glowing achievements in life, without her strong mind and optimistic attitude? Facing the serious diseases and hardships in life, she did not choose to hold back. Instead, she has been courageous and optimistic enough to defeat them. She has set an excellent example for us。

There is no doubt that this cartoon vividly depicts a negative but rampant scenario in modern society: commercial bribery. Frightened by the sharp punishment sword, the man, carrying a large pile of money used as bribery①, is trying his best to escape. What is conveyed by the drawing is both realistic and thought-provoking。
The implication of the given picture can be elaborated in terms of the decline of work-moral values and the view on money. For one thing, commercial bribery has a very damaging and destructive② effect on the whole society. Firstly, moral deficiencies as well as the humanity weakness revealed in the action of bribery③ may stain and pollute the atmosphere of professional ethics and cause others to copy. Secondly, fair competition may be threatened because bribery puts honest businessmen at a disadvantaged position. For another, the bad behavior of commercial bribery is largely driven by “profit”, showing that those people who are involved in bribery do not have a right view on money. It is true that money is indispensable④, but, there is no denying that money should be obtained and spent in a reasonable, wise and legitimate way。
To eliminate the immoral behavior of bribery thoroughly⑤, drastic actions should be taken and severe punishment measures should be adopted. Besides, a positive mental guidance on the right attitude to money should be popularized among the public. Only in this way can we have a fair and sound social environment。
