.第二节读写任务（共1小题，满分25分）阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。The age one becomes a legal adult in the US is largely the age at which most children are considered adults in the world. A few countries t this age lower, but in most of the western world, one is considered an adult at 18.For many parents the term legal adult does not mean their children posss certain adult characteristics. For example, being an adult implies being able to make mature decisions, participate in civic(公民的) matters, have lf-control, and be responsible. Some 18-year-olds simply lack the characteristics and need further time to develop them. It concerns some parents that an 18-year-old can make life-altering decisions, like marrying early or joining the army, which may not have been made with significant forethought.Even if a newly legal adult is still in high school, a parent is under no legal pressure, frequently, to continue to provide housing or care. Some exceptions to this rule have been proven, particularly in cas of divorce where a spou (配偶) still claims child support, or help with payments for college. Some parents feel that continued financial support really proves the fact that the child is really not quite an adult yet, regardless of age.【写作内容】1．以约30个词概括这段短文的内容；2．然后以约120个词就“我的18岁生日”这个主题进行表达，内容包括：（1）中西文化中父母对成人子女的态度和要求。（2）18岁生日对你意味着什么？（3）18岁以后你打算怎么做？【写作要求】1．在作文中可以使用自己亲身的经历或虚构的故事，也可以参照阅读材料的内容但不得直接引用原文中的句子；2．作文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称。【评分标准】概括准确，语言规范，内容合适，篇章连贯。 题型：未知难度：其他题型

答案

My understanding about being 18In many countries as well as the US, being 18 years old means entering adulthood. Then one needs to independently think more than twice not only for themlves but also for the whole world around.In western countries, leaving home is a symbol of becoming an adult, becau it was the starting point signaling the transition from youth to adulthood. However, people in China have little n of doing that. The young are still regarded or just consider themlves as kids far from being mature. As far as I am concerned, though my 18th birthday is still coming, few birthdays are as important as the big 18th. Things to do on my 18th birthday should be different than years past. I want my 18th birthday to be special, something I can look back on when I’m older. Not only will I invite the people I care about to celebrate it together with me, but I will write a letter to mylf about what is going on in my life and what I plan to do in the future. For example, I will write down what I want for mylf in 5, 10 and 20 years and then al the envelope and keep it in my pur until I turn 30. Little as I have known about what to do correctly, I will spare no effort to learn to be a grown-up. I will try my best to learn to be more independent and responsible as well as enjoying my precious life.

考点

据考高分专家说，试题“.第二节读写任务（共1小题，满分25分）.....”主要考查你对 [小作文 ]考点的理解。 小作文

小作文的概念：

作文多指便条、请假条等，在写作的时候要注意文章的格式（称呼、正文、签名、日期）。

小作文考题的几个特点：

1、重格式，不轻内容： 应用文的大作文的一个很大区别就是重格式，规律性强。格式和套路不对，一般会给阅卷老师留下很不好的印象。例如：信件一般不需要题目，通知和告示却需要，如2010年的题目Volunteers wanted。不只题目，还有客套话署名等。例如：公务信函中的称呼，一般而言，如果是不认识的人，称呼为敬词+尊称。例如，Dear Sir or Madam或 To whom it may concern；如果是写给关系正式的某团体中的人，称呼为敬词+尊称+名。例如，Dear Mr. xx或 Dear Ms. xx；对于关系较亲密的人可以直呼其名（Dear）Peter等。这都是有规律可循的。 2、轻思想，重交际： 这里所谓的轻思想，主要是指因为100字的应用文，除去那些客套话，其实一般主体部分也就2-3个句子就可以解决。这么短的篇幅，是不可能求思想性有多强。这点和大作文不一样，大作文中，如果你没有一定的思想深度，文章结构会很松散，让人感觉是句子的堆砌。而那种连贯性和衔接手法的应用也不会太准确。而小作文，我们要做到的只是注意用词语体以及语域的适当性，要点覆盖的全面性。 3、字数少，易得分： 应用文的篇幅很短，很容易得分。试想，想在阅读理解中10分，你需要在理解一篇500-600字的文章的基础上答对5道选择题。从这个角度而言，小作文的确是容易拿分的，应该成为考生提分的板块。 4、重套路，难发挥： 应用文的这一个特点，仍然是和它的套路性、格式化有关。因此我们更需要用词的准确性。需要我们对语言的语体特点(genre features)进行区分。以免让词汇的语体影响到准确性。写给机构的信函，应该避免使用太口语化的语言。例如06年是写给一个机构的申请信，而08年是写给友人的私人信件，那么两年的应用文写作中，就要求使用不同的语言。从称呼到正文部分，08年的文章用词都可以更口语化和随意一些。正因为这种套路的稳定性，对于同等基础的考生来讲，这部分很难达到技压群雄的效果，很难拉开和别人的距离。也就是说，对于所有考生来说，得10分不容易，得2分甚至4分也很不容易。
