范文二：文明旅游

有些旅游景点的文物景观遭到了严重的破坏，致使最近文明旅游的倡议越来越受重视，因此就“游客可付费在仿造长城上涂写留言”发表看法。

内容包括：(1)谈谈对某些人喜欢在旅游景点随便涂鸦留言的看法;

(2)对专门修一段仿造城墙让游客付高价留言的做法你是赞成还是反对，并简要陈述你的理由。

It is reported that tourists to China’s Great Wall can now leave their mark on a fake(伪造的) wall recently built near the real wall in Badaling if they pay 999 yuan.

In China, many visitors have the hobby of carving graffiti on places of interest, especially on some famous cultural relics. Last year I went to the Great Wall and found many people had left names and ugly words on the Wall, which destroys many historic bricks. In my opinion, such people should feel ashamed of leaving their marks on the great relics which were created by our ancestors.

So personally, I quite agree with this brilliant project though it has caused criticism from some people. The Great Wall would be ruined one day if we didn’t take any steps to protect it. The fake wall is a really good idea because it will protect our relics as well as making profits from the project

高考英语中常见的话题有哪些呢?下面是语文迷整理的十五大高考英语话题作文素材，希望对你有帮助。

一、面对挑战的感悟

Looking back on this, I realize that whatever challenges I am faced with, I will spare no effort and never give up. I’m sure to achieve final victory and become what I should be.

二、怎样看待司机的行为?

After reading the passage, I felt very angry with the driver. It was what he did that did shock me. I can’t believe the driver is so cruel. Generally speaking, the responsibility of a bus driver is to serve people. However, the driver is short of essential occupational morality. Having known the woman’s arm was stuck in the bus door, he continued to drive his bus. What an evil-minded driver!

三、对交友的看法

In my view, it takes time to build good relationship with others. You can’t expect to become good friends with someone soon after you meet him. You also can’t expect to become good friends with others if you do not spend time with them.

四、对心理问题的看法

As far as I’m concerned, mental problems are serious problems both in universities and middle schools. I believe physical and mental health is more important than good grades. Therefore, parents and teachers should first pay attention to students’ feelings. Only when they feel it fun to study, can they learn their lessons well.

五、对网络教育的看法

Personally, I appreciate this new form of education. It can provide different learners with more flexible ways to learn. Most of all, with online education, we can absorb the latest knowledge.

六、怎样应对同伴压力

First of all, since the whole world is full of peer pressure, we have to know that it is not easy for us to avoid it. Secondly, find out the truth about something and you’ll really feel better.

七、态度决定一切的启示

Different attitudes lead to different results. Take Xiao Hua for example, He’s my classmate. He always puts his heart into study, so he has become a top student in our class. With his diligence and concentration, he’s bound to succeed in the entrance examination. However, Xiao Li never cares about his study and turns a deaf ear to the teachers’ advice. As a result, he falls far behind others in his study.

八、对…行为的看法

As for me, Marry is really great because she’s ready to do…that seems very small. Maybe what she is doing is very common in others’ eyes but it will play an important role in our daily life.

九、目标的重要性(看法)

I was greatly inspired by such a story as it makes me realize the power of a goal in shaping one’s success and gives me strength to pursue my goal despite the hardships I’m to go through.

In my opinion, goals are important in our life. To begin with, as goals often enables us to be positive to ups and downs in our life. Moreover, bearing goals in mind, we’re less likely to be distracted from our way to success. Finally, as goals are what we’re longing for, they thus can motivate us to strive for greater achievements, making our life more fulfilling(令人满意的).

十、对考验的感受

From the story I’ve learned that the trials of life are of great importance in our growth. As the saying goes, “No cross, no crown(不经历风雨怎么见彩虹).” Only by facing and overcoming difficulties in our life can we grow up happily and healthily.

十一、对中学生活的感受

As for me, a student from the country, what I do every day is to devote myself to realizing my dream of attending a key university. So I seldom have time to do outdoor activities. Anyway, I’ve become more independent and as a student of boarding school, my experience has become a benefit in my future college life.

十二、有关命运转折点的启示

The passage inspired me greatly as I come to know that the happiness of life lies in our own hands. Although he was hopeless in any sport at school, He didn’t give up. Despite what others say about him, he made up his mind to improve himself push his body to the limit. With his determination and perseverance, he made a difference in his life.

十三、对街头食品的看法

As far as I’m concerned, I often purchase some street food on my way to school in the morning because it is very convenient to me. As a student, I can’t spend much time waiting or eating in a restaurant. It is well-known that street food is very popular in cities and towns because they are tasty, quick and cheap, which attract a large number of customers every day. Most of them are so busy with their study and work that they can’t spare much time to enjoy their meals.

十四、如何更好地鼓励孩子学习

To get kids motivated to learn, I think we should not treat every child in the same way. To some kids, oral praise is essential. Don’t save the praise for only the top score. If possible, involve other adults in praising them. However, this method may not work well with other kids. Maybe what is more important to them is to watch a movie or go on a trip together with their parents. It just depends.

十五、如何适应大学生活

As far as I’m concerned, college life differs from middle school life a lot. So I think the ideal university life should help me get well prepared for society, including obtaining academic knowledge.

I think I will take an active part in all kinds of activities, as well as study hard to achieve my ideal university life.

christmas, annual christian holiday commemorating the birth of jesus christ. most members of the roman catholic church and followers of protestantism celebrate christmas on december 25, and many celebrate on the evening of december 24 as well. members of the eastern orthodox church usually delay their most important seasonal ceremonies until january 6, when they celebrate epiphany, a commemoration of the baptism of jesus. epiphany also traditionally commemorates the arrival of the three wise men of the east in bethlehem (near jerusalem, israel), where they adored the infant jesus and presented him with gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. the official christmas season, popularly known as either christmastide or the twelve days of christmas, extends from the anniversary of christ’s birth on december 25 to the feast of epiphany on january 6. christmas is based on the story of jesus’ birth as described in the gospel according to matthew (see matthew 1:18-2:12) and the gospel according to luke (see luke 1:26-56). roman catholics first celebrated christmas, then known as the feast of the nativity, as early as 336 ad. the word christmas entered the english language sometime around 1050 as the old english phrase christes maesse, meaning “festival of christ.” scholars believe the frequently used shortened form of christmas—xmas—may have come into use in the 13th century. the x stands for the greek letter chi, an abbreviation of khristos (christ), and also represents the cross on which jesus was crucified.

12月25日，是基督教徒纪念耶稣诞生的日子，称为圣诞节。从12月24日于翌年1月6日为圣诞节节期。节日期间，各国基督教徒都举行隆重的纪念仪式。圣诞节本来是基督教徒的节日，由于人们格外重视，它便成为一个全民性的节日，是西方国家一年中最盛大的节日，可以和新年相提并论，类似我国过春节。西方人以红、绿、白三色为圣诞色，圣诞节来临时家家户户都要用圣诞色来装饰。红色的有圣诞花和圣诞蜡烛。绿色的是圣诞树。它是圣诞节的主要装饰品，用砍伐来的杉、柏一类呈塔形的常青树装饰而成。上面悬挂着五颜六色的彩灯、礼物和纸花，还点燃着圣诞蜡烛。红色与白色相映成趣的是圣诞老人，他是圣诞节活动中最受欢迎的人物。西方儿童在圣诞夜临睡之前，要在壁炉前或枕头旁放上一只袜子，等候圣诞老人在他们入睡后把礼物放在袜子内。在西方，扮演圣诞老人也是一种习俗。

冬至到了，汉代以冬至为“冬节”，官府要举行祝贺仪式称为“贺冬”，官方例行放假，官场流行互贺的“拜冬”礼俗。《后汉书》中有这样的记载：“冬至前后，君子安身静体，百官绝事，不听政，择吉辰而后省事。”所以这天朝廷上下要放假休息，军队待命，边塞闭关，商旅停业，亲朋各以美食相赠，相互拜访，欢乐地过一个“安身静体”的节日。魏晋六朝时，冬至称为“亚岁”，民众要向父母长辈拜节;宋朝以后，冬至逐渐成为祭祀祖先和神灵的节庆活动。

唐、宋时期，冬至是祭天祀祖的日子，皇帝在这天要到郊外举行祭天大典，百姓在这一天要向父母尊长祭拜。明、清两代，皇帝均有祭天大典，谓之“冬至郊天”。宫内有百官向皇帝呈递贺表的仪式，而且还要互相投刺祝贺，就像元旦一样。

冬至节亦称冬节、交冬。它既是二十四节气之一，是中国的一个传统节日，曾有“冬至大如年”的说法。冬至进补，是我国传统风俗，俗语云：三九补一冬，来年无病痛。夏养三伏，冬补三九。冬至补一补,一年精气足。

我们在做任何事情，在方面上总会有两种选择：一是墨守成规，沿着前人的路走下去;二是根据前人的.经验，走创新之路。

在加速建设社会主义现代化的今天，我们更需要的是创新，而不是因循守旧，墨守成规，只有我们在现有的基础上，运用我们的知识，没取他人的经验，不怕失败，从指导思想到各项具体的工作都进行不断的创新，才能以最快的速度实现现代化。

如果不是远古人类敢于创新，去改变他们的生活环境，也许我们现在生活的还是古器时代。也就是说，如果没有他们的创新，就不可能有现在的我们，也不可能有我们现在的生活条件。

没有创新，哪来电灯?如果不是爱迪生不希望在蜡烛下工做，不希望沿着前人为我们创新的条件下走完一生;如果不是爱迪生没取前人的经验，不怕多次失败，敢于创新，我们现在哪能在漆黑的夜晚用电灯照亮我们周围的一切，看清楚夜晚的世界呢?

没有创新，哪来时代一代换一代?哪来科技一天比一天发达?在进行社会主义现代化建设的今天，提倡创新更具有时代意义。当今，新技术革命的浪潮已卷席全球，带来了各个领域的创新和发展，如果我们现在只守在前人这分基础上不思探索，不思发展，就必将被时代抛弃，我们的现代化建设就不可能顺利进行。

我们作为新时代的年轻人更要抛弃“墨守成规”的观念，敢于去追求创新这一时代的流行色，要以“创新者”的姿势立足于世界。

创新精神，使科学家硕果累累，使平凡劳动产生伟大业绩，使时代一代更一代。总之，创新是一切事物发展最根本的“路”。只有走创新之路才能使我们的事业，我们的社会更快地发展。

【命题示例】

阅读下列文字，按要求作文。

近日，互联网江湖热闹非凡，在这当中，马云和马化腾的“二马”之争最为引人关注。腾讯与阿里不断开辟新战场，如今，两大巨头的战火终于烧到时下最热门的互联网理财领域。

2014年开年短短15天，余额宝的规模就一举突破2500亿元，使天弘基金成为新的行业第一。紧随其后，腾讯微信理财通1月22日上线，作为继去年阿里巴巴推出“余额宝”后又一广受关注的互联网理财产品，微信理财通正在将互联网金融旋风从PC端带向移动端，由此也掀起了一股移动理财风潮。

在理财通上线的前一天，苏宁云商旗下易付宝正式推出了零钱宝。加上此前的百度百发、网易理财、新浪微财富，至此，阿里、百度、新浪、网易、腾讯等一众大佬，将互联网金融凑成一个热闹的江湖。

“互联网金融不可能一家独大，需要互补。”通过移动终端，把基金规模做大，互联网金融才能真正繁荣起来。

“目前的格局不是‘你死我活’，而是共同把蛋糕做大。”产业经济观察家梁振鹏说，“未来占领市场的关键，要看谁能解决支付安全问题。只有解决这个问题，才能获得除个人以外的有移动支付需求的企业客户，从而抢占市场先机。”

根据上述新闻素材，写一篇不少于800字的文章。

【多维解读】

(1)金融市场的创新。余额宝和微信理财通都是金融市场的伟大创新。以前基金公司总是在银行渠道排队等着发行，销售很不容易。余额宝的出现，开创了一个新模式。它使得天弘和支付宝合作的货币基金，可以像支付宝余额一样随时用于消费、转账等支出。这样既可提高支付宝客户资金余额的收益率，也可以为基金公司带来新的业务增长点。相比余额宝，微信理财通则一直致力于打造微信移动平台上的O2O市场，微信支付被赋予了不少线下支付场景，包括打车、吃饭、看电影等等，若腾讯能成功攻下移动平台上的O2O市场，则也将进一步推动用户将资金注入微信平台，以及微信理财通。这些科技创新带来了金融市场的变革。

(2)要倡导良性竞争。阿里与腾讯的对抗，无疑将是未来一段时间内业内最为重要的纷争。在过去一两年中，腾讯与阿里在各个领域的凶猛扩张，为各自聚合了非常庞大的资源，都是为了争取在移动互联网时代赢得胜利，在这个过程中谁先培养出用户习惯或便会拥有一定的优势，但如果双方仅靠相互封杀来争夺地盘，无疑有悖于商家的良性发展。鹬蚌相争渔翁得利，只有良性竞争才能真正长治久安。

(3)互联网发展的结果。将2013年称之为互联网金融元年一点也不为过。随着阿里巴巴“余额宝”的出现，互联网金融这匹“黑马”，随之引爆了整个行业。腾讯、百度、苏宁、易宝支付、盛大等一大批企业先后入局，以颠覆者的姿态向金融行业发出“挑战书”。银行业、基金证券行业从业者一时间诚惶诚恐。这并不是一场他们熟悉的战役，不按原来的打法，不按“规矩”出牌，市场冒出的新对手——互联网企业。更有人扬言，未来，互联网将彻底颠覆传统金融行业。

写好这篇文章评，首先要明确写作范围。应该说，这不成问题，很好理解。

其次，要选好角度，即选择你认识深刻而材料储备又丰富的小角度入笔。角度小才能开掘深。从大的方面看，阿里与腾讯共同承担着发展互联网的任务，应该维护互联网的和平，为用户提供更大的便利。在过去一两年中，腾讯与阿里在各个领域的凶猛扩张，为各自聚合了非常庞大的资源，都是为了争取在移动互联网时代赢得胜利，在这个过程中谁先培养出用户习惯或便会拥有一定的优势，但如果双方仅靠相互封杀来争夺地盘，无疑有悖于商家的良性发展。鹬蚌相争渔翁得利，只有良性竞争才能真正长治久安。具体到每个人，一般说来，做任何事情都需要人们真诚地合作，单靠一个人去完成是比较困难的甚至是不可能的。尤其在当今这个社会，人与人有着密切的关联，独自作战是不现实的。余额宝们的出现，带来了货币基金规模的突飞猛进，让银行和保险公司已感受到压力，由于余额宝等理财产品畅销，银行存款业务被分流，银行和保险公司受到很大的冲击，一旦银行存贷款利率化，银行依靠存贷差的发展模式走到尽头，银行的冬天就要来临。这实际上是科技创新带来的金融市场的变革。但是，互联网金融也需规范，这就需要国家监管部门出台相应的法规，规范金融市场，以使其健康稳步的发展。

再次，要进行发散思维，打开思路，提炼出尽可能多的观点或中心。

【佳作呈现】

Guyu twenty-four solar term of the sixth year solar term, as the sun reaches 30 degrees for the rain, "rain from the valley". "The filial piety" Qi Wei - aid God said: "after fifteen days Qingming, Guyu Chen refers to the Big Dipper, as, in March, said Yu Sheng hundred valley water is clean."

由于谷雨节气后降雨增多，空气中的湿度逐渐加大，此时我们在养生中应遵遁自然节气的变化，针对其气候特点进行调养。谷雨节气后是神经痛的发病期，如肋间神经痛、坐骨神经痛、三叉神经痛等。同时由于天气转温，人们的室外活动增加，北方地区的桃花、杏花等开放;杨絮、柳絮四处飞扬，过敏体质的朋友应注意防止花粉症及过敏性鼻炎、过敏性哮喘等。在饮食上应减少高蛋白质、高热量食物的摄入。

春季，肝木旺盛，脾衰弱，谷雨前后15天及清明的最后3天中，脾处于旺盛时期。脾的旺盛会使胃强健起来，从而使消化功能处于旺盛的状态，消化功能旺盛有利于营养的吸收，因此这时正是补身的大好时机。但是补要适当，不宜过，此时进补不能像冬天那样，应适当食用一些补血益气功效的食物。这样不仅可以提高体质，还可为安度盛夏打下基础。谷雨前后还适宜食用一些能够缓解精神压力和调节情绪的食物。多吃一些含B族维生素较多的食物对改善抑郁症有明显的效果。

In the spring, liver wood exuberant, spleen weakness, Guyu before and after 3 days 15 days and the last in the spleen, in a strong period. Spleen stomach the strong will be strong, so that the digestive function in a strong state, strong digestive function is conducive to the absorption of nutrients, so it is a good time to make up the body. But the compensation should be appropriate, should not be too, this time not as winter tonic, should be appropriate to eat some blood and Qi foods. It can not only improve the physique, but also lay the foundation for their summer. Guyu before and after eating some also suitable to relieve mental stress and emotional regulation of food. Eat some more food containing vitamin B has a significant effect on improving the depression.

My eyes wet, is very good-looking, he is my the window to the soul, in order to protect him, I cant work, for example, when reading a book after I pay attention to the distance of eyes from the book and pay attention to rest in a timely manner.

Mom and dad said: its nice of your hair. My hair is black and very hard, not only like my personality is straightforward. Im fine to identify, as long as see black hair, big eyes is me. Remember, dont have.

My specialty is: drawing and the violin. My ideal is: after be brought up as a painter or a famous violinist. Like me?

Thank you very much!

老师们,同学们,大家好!

我叫××。要想了解我,请往下看。

长着一双大大的眼睛,高鼻梁,嘴嘛,大人都说是樱桃小嘴,我想管他大小呢,还是我的眼睛重要,因为我最喜欢看书了。我的眼睛水灵灵的很好看,他是我心灵的窗户,为了保护他,我可没少下功夫,比如说,在看书时我既注意眼睛离书的距离又注意及时休息。还有我的头发,乌黑乌黑的,像黑黑的云一样。妈妈说:咱们一家头发真是一样呀,你是黑头发,我是黑头发,你爸爸还是。真是一家人呀。我的头发简直跟眼珠一样,黑黝黝的。爸爸妈妈都说:你的头发真好呀。我的头发不仅黑而且很硬,像我的性格一样爽直。我很好辨认,只要看到大眼睛黑头发的就是我。记好了,别找错啊。

我是一个爱交朋友的人。记得在一年级,魏同学掉了一块橡皮,我帮他捡起来,从此,他就把我当成了朋友。怎么样,我是不是爱交朋友呢?

我的特长是:画画和小提琴。我的理想是:长大后当一名画家或著名的小提琴家。喜欢我吗?

谢谢!

郑板桥的书法之所以闻名，被称为“板桥体”，是因为他的作品有它自身的特色，是独一无二，无可替代的，设想郑板桥当初如果只是用隶书或行楷，即使模仿名人的笔迹再出色，也不会在书法界有如此大的成就吧!

例如现在经营餐饮业，竞争很激烈，随时有被时代淘汰的可能性，据网上统计，业绩好、受顾客欢迎的，大多数是主题餐厅。有在一片黑暗中进食的餐厅，有专门以白领女性为顾客的餐厅，考虑到白领女性的烦恼，特地提供免费营养减肥套餐，并提供一次性拖鞋，除去她们穿高跟鞋的不适。这些餐厅之所以能在金融危机影响下，保持较好的业绩，因为他们的主管经营有道，知道如何突出店中的特色，迎合顾客的需要。

又如英国十六、七世纪的著名画家乔治·摩兰，他的油画作品起初被当做贡品运往中国的时候，人们以为远看还行，可近看一无是处，只看得见一片片的颜料。正是因为这种特色，他的油画作品还是渐渐别国人所接受了，甚至以有他的作品收藏为荣。

其实，我们自身又何尝不是如此呢?

由于现在上海着力建设国际金融中心和国际航运中心，因此今年财经大学、海事大学、海洋大学都非常热门，许多人是有从众心理的，即使自己的孩子不喜欢，也硬逼着他们填上这所学校。我认为这样的做法是不可取的，当我们自身的特色和别人的特色一样时，那也就不可称其为“特色”。反之，只要根据自己喜欢的专业来填报学校，即使这门专业是冷门，只要自己有兴趣，就可以学得很好，说不定毕业后会成为各公司争夺的人才呢!

做人也是如此，有谚语说：“走自己的路，让别人说去吧!”只要自己认为有意义的事，值得去做的事，那就放手一搏，努力去做吧，又何必在意别人的眼光呢!活出自己的特色就好。

但特色并不等于个性，在做任何事之前，要考虑是否侵犯了别人的利益，要在法律允许的范围内。

培养出属于自己的特色，我相信可以活得更精彩，生活也会充满乐趣。
