【试题解读】
1.审题立意
该篇书面表达的考查形式是应用文中的书信,是提纲类作文,具体形式是以申请信的模式给出。
从测试内容上来看,写作要点是打算参与青年野外生存训练活动,主题是有关“人与自然”的,让考生学会关注生活,以及培养在野外的个人生存能力,从而间接地告诉考生除了学习外,也要关注自己的身心健康并热爱生活。
从提示上来看,试题具有很大程度的开放性,给予考生充分的发挥空间。因为书信的格式以及开头和结尾已经给出,所以考生的重点应放在提示信息上。首先,要求考生对个人情况进行介绍,这对于考生而言比较容易,能够增强考生的信心;而参加该活动的原因和个人期望应与作者的身份(高三毕业生)联系起来,从而有助于发挥。
2.写作要点
(1)个人情况介绍(高三毕业生);
(2)参加青年野外生存训练活动的原因;
(3)希望从这次训练活动中得到的收获;
(4)询问活动的具体安排(时间和地点等)。
3.注意事项
(1)文章应写成书信的格式,注意层次与脉络;

【佳作赏析】
Dear Sir/Madam,
Im a senior high school student who will graduate in June.① As far as I know,② your association will hold a field survival training for teenagers this summer vacation. Im interested in it.
As a student, I have been devoting so much time to studying that I am lacking in sports,③ which leads to my poor health.④ Thus, I want to sign up for the training to improve my health⑤ and learn how to survive in the wild. Meanwhile, I hope by this training, I can become healthier and more confident.
Whats more, is it convenient for you to tell me where we will receive the training and when it will start and end?⑥
Please reply to me at your convenience.
Sincerely yours,

亮點分析:本篇习作的最大特色在于内容丰富、语言多变。尤其是在语言的精心选择和运用方面,独具匠心,颇具个性色彩。devote...to...、lead to、sign up、survive、confident、convenient等十分出色的词汇数不胜数,精彩纷呈。除此之外,定语从句、结果状语从句、宾语从句等高级句式以及简单句等的交叉使用为文章增添了一份地道与品位。更加难能可贵的是书信末尾使用了疑问句,增加了表达的委婉性。所有的这些都反映出作者丰富的语言知识和扎实的语言运用能力。所以,这是一篇值得我们慢慢品味的出色习作。
①该句是由who引导的定语从句,表明了作者目前的情况,而且位于文章开头,足以见得作者对自己英语水平的自信。
②As far as I know是引入个人观点和信息的常见句式,作者使用的恰当自然。
③该句中使用了so...that...结构,表明自己一直致力于学习所产生的后果,而且短语devote...to...运用得新颖得体,让人眼前一亮。
④which引导的非限制性定语从句的使用,进一步表明缺乏锻炼的后果,与上文相得益彰,表达自然。
⑤不定式短语to improve...的使用,简明扼要地表明了作者报名参加训练营的目的。
⑥该句亮点颇多,首先使用了高级词汇convenient,表明了作者表达的委婉,其次,句式中it为形式主语,不定式结构为真正的主语,且为疑问句,更增加了作者的礼貌程度,而且在不定式结构中又涵盖where和when引导宾语从句,足见作者语言使用的熟练程度,而且放在信的结尾处,为文章增色不少。
