作文是决定语文考试成绩的“半壁江山”，因此作文的成败往往决定了整个语文考试的成败。那么怎样让考试作文得高分呢?我觉得以下几点必须注意。
1、题和立意凡考试作文必须审题，原因是考生要在同一环境下，作公平的竞争。审题，就是要对试题展现的所有内容作全面、准确的审读和理解，把命题者的意图读出来，把题目的各种限制审清楚，明确要我写什么，怎么写，写到什么程度，真正做到全面领会，深刻把握，不偏不漏、不折不扣地按要求写作文。高考作文评判明确规定，凡审题有问题的试卷最后得分一般都不超过二类卷最低分。由此可见，审题的准确与否是作文成败的关键因素。立意，就是要作者站在时代的高度，去观察、认识生活，提炼主题，使主题体现时代的精神，既反映时代，也作用于时代，跳动时代的脉搏，推动着时代的前进。文章的“意”， 其实就是作者在体验生活中逐步孕育而成的一种思想，是作者的主观认识与客观实际相“撞击”的产物，它反映作者的思想水平、认识水平以及在社会生活中形成的世界观、人生观、价值观等。近两年的作文教改提倡学生写真实生活、真实自我，有些同学忽视了对文章思想倾向的把握，看问题不全面，观点偏激，更有甚者由腐败现象而怀疑党的领导和党的政策。尽管当今的中国社会政治清明，言论自由，话说错了不会追查什么政治问题，但作为未来社会的建设者，正确的是非观还是应该有的。这一点必须注意。
2、标题和段落标题是文章的眼睛，也是阅卷老师对文章的第一印象，特别是自拟题目写作，阅卷老师很看重考生所拟的标题。俗话说：“秧好一半谷，题好一半文”，可见题目的重要性。有些考生先写正文再拟标题，文章写好后也许是没有时间写标题，也许是忘了补写标题。虽然评分规定无标题扣2分，但实际结果却远非2分。有人曾做过这样的实验，将几篇写得较好的作文，按保留标题和隐去标题两种类型请两组老师分别予以阅卷，其分数差别一般都在5分以上。这是因为阅卷老师对无标题作文产生了一种心理距离，不知不觉便降低了分数等级。至于如何拟题，我觉得应做到这样几条：①确切。指符合文章内容，也指遣词造句符合规范)。②精练。指标题字数恰当。③生动。指题目能体现出一种活力，具有可读性，饶有情趣。④新颖。指有新视角、新思路、新感悟，能够给人一种新鲜感。⑤有意蕴。指有内在的含义。拟题方法多种多样，可以运用修辞拟题，可以引用俗语拟题，可以化用古语拟题，可以借用成语拟题，可以套用流行语拟题，也可以巧用其他学科公式或符号拟题等等，考生可以根据自己的情况灵活运用。段落：考试作文最忌首、腹、尾三段式的结构。把文章分为几段更好?千字以内的作文，我觉得分为5-8个自然段就可以了。因为自然段分得越自然，越显得你成熟老练。另外，要把每一段的首句写好。每一段的首句犹如人的眉目，把首句写好，“眉清目秀”，整个段落都显着精神。
3、文体和内容高考作文试题对文体的要求有两类：一类是规定必须写某种文体，如“写一篇议论文”;另一类是排除写某种文体，如“除诗歌外，其他文体不限”。考生必须按规定的文体去写。近几年高考作文题中“文体不限”，让考生自由选择文体，这里要特别注意，文体不限不是不要文体，而是要你在选择了一种文体后，一定要按这种文体特点写作，要写什么象什么。不可随心所欲，写成不伦不类的“四不像”文章。文章内容方面：不假思索就能想到的东西，绝对不要写;稍加思索想到的也不要写;花上几分钟，想别人想不到的内容来写。记叙文最好将主人公设定为自己，用第一人称入文，让“我”的激情在文章中闪光，情真意切，引起共鸣。议论文切忌大话、套话、废话，要避免空发议论，无病呻吟，滥提口号，乱发号召，空表决心等等。作文可以虚构，“允许”编写故事，但不等于提倡“编写故事”，编写故事要做到“大胆想象，自圆其说”。滥编、胡编，绝对不会得高分。
4、开头和结尾应试作文的开头结尾，就是文章的刀刃。平时在课内外所学的各种开头结尾的方法完全可以用在应试作文上。不管你使用什么方法开头和结尾，必须做到开头起笔入题，结尾点明主旨。为了给评卷老师一个好的印象，开头结尾千万不要涂抹。有道是：良好的.开端是成功的一半。可有些考生犯“入题慢”的毛病：有的把大段的原材料全部照搬;有的把本来简洁的原材料进行扩展;有的开篇摆材料，古今中外，慢慢道来。开篇松散，占去了大量的篇幅，后面的真正应该说的内容却“千呼万唤不出来”，有的只是一笔带过，草草收兵，比例严重失调，使老师难以衡量其实际写作水平。古人写文章讲究“凤头”、“猪肚”、“豹尾”，这是有一定道理的。可有些考生作文来不及刹尾，或用一句话硬断，或点上一串省略号，这样即使你雕出了“凤头”，壮大了“猪肚”，也会因为没有“豹尾”而不成其好文章，得不到高分。阅卷老师衡量一篇文章的好坏，首先是看其整体。所以，考生交给老师的无论如何也应是一篇完整的作文。
5、语言和字数考试作文语言要规范准确，具有个性和活力。不要文白夹杂;不要使用别人看不懂的方言和词汇;少用长句多用短句;可引进部分时代新词汇，引用名言警句，引用流行的通俗歌曲歌词，引用百姓口头民谣，但取向一定要积极向上，真正让语言亮起来。照理说，文章是表情达意的工具，有话则长，无话则短，似乎不应有字数的限制。但考试作文，作为一种特殊形式的作文，为了达到一定的考查目的，并考虑到考试时间等因素，一般对字数都作了规定。我们必须按照规定去做。限最低字数的，一定要写够数量或稍微超过50—100字才好。如果字数不足，虽然评分标准规定，不足字数的，每少50字扣1分，但实际情况是，字数不足往往被认为文章内容单薄，分数很难上档次。限最高字数的，不要超过。否则，给人一种臃肿的感觉，再说，作文写得长，花的时间多，解答前面的题用的时间少，必定会受到影响。如果没有限最高字数，一般就是以作文纸为限，即要在作文纸格子内行文。千万不要自作多情，超出作文格子，以免出力不讨好。
6、书写和卷面近年高考作文评分标准中，书写都占相当的比分。一般不要求写得好看，但要求书写整齐易辨认，一笔一画清清楚楚，不写草字。标点符号书写也要规范，特别是格式要正确，句号、逗号、问号、叹号、顿号、分号不要出现在一行之首;引号、括号、书名号前半不出现在一行之末，可以在这些符号后面挤着写一个字;引号、括号、书名号后一半不出现在一行之首，可以把这些符号挤在上一行之末。省略号、破折号占两个格，不能断开，写不下时挤在一行之末。至于作文的卷面，正如人的容貌一样，给人的印象是重要的，尤其是高考作文，卷面整洁与否直接影响着阅卷老师的心理和情绪，书写工整，卷面清洁，让人一看心中先喜三分，其结果是可想而知的。
7、检查与修改考试作文试题和其他试题一样，做完后也需要认真检查，看有没有笔误的错别字，有没有不通顺的句子，有没有需要调整的内容。审查发现了错别字、错用了词语一定要修改过来，对于句段该删的要删掉，该增的要增补，只是要改得清楚、整洁，使人一目了然。不能因为修改而影响了卷面的整洁。

介绍美国的英语作文1
A history of long and effortless success can be a dreadful handicap,but,if properly handled,it may become a driving force.When the United States entered just such a glowing period after the end of the Second World War,it had a market eight times larger than any competitor ,giving its industries unparalleled economies of scale.Its scientists were the worlds best,its workers the most skilled.American and Americans were prosperous beyongd the dreams of the Europeans and Asians whose economeics the war had destroyed.
It was inevitable that this primacy should have narrowed as other countries grew richer.Just as inevitably,the retreat from predominace proved painful.By the mid 1980s Americans had found themselves at a losss over their fading industrial competitiveness.Some huge American industries,such as consumer electronics,hand shrunk or vanished in the face of foreign competitiong.By 1987 there was only one American television maker left,Zenith.(Now there is none :Zenith was bought by SouthKoreasLGElectronics in July.)Foreign made cars and textiles were sweeeping into the domestic market.Americas machine-tool industry was on the ropes.For a while it looked as though the makeing of semiconductors,whidh America had invented and which sat at the heart of the new computer age,was going to be the next caualty.
All of this caused a crisis of confidenc.Americans stopped taking prosperity ofr granted .They began to believe that their way of doing business was failing,and that their incomes would therefore shourtly begin to fall as well .The mind -1980s brought one inquiry after another into the causes ofAmericas in dustrial decline.Thir sometimes sensational findings were filled with warnings about the growing competitiong from overseas.
How things have changed!I1995 the United States can look back on five years of solid growth while Japan has been struggling.Few Americans attribute this Self doubt has yielded to blind pride.American industry has changed its structure ,has gone on a diet ,has learnt to be more quik witted,according to Richard Cavanagh,executive dean of Harvards Kennedy School of Government.It makes me proud to be an American just to see how our businesses are improving theirproductivity,says Stephen Moore of the Cato Institute ,a think tank in Washington,DC,And William Sahlman of the Harvard Business School believes that people will look back on this perido as a golden age of business management in the United States.

Based on historical documents, modern survey and statistics, as well as the result of predecessor studies, the trend and main process of forest dynamics are recognized.
The forest area and forest coverage rates for each province of China from 1700 to 1949 are es- timated backward by every 50 years. Linking the result with modern National Forest Inventory data, the spatial-temporal dynamics of Chinese forest in recent 300 years (AD 1700–1998) is quantitatively analyzed. The study shows that in recent 300 years, the forest area in current territory of China has declined by 0.95×108 hm2 (or 9.2% of the coverage rate) in total, with a trend of decrease and recovery.
Before the 1960s, there was a trend of accelerated de- scending. The forest area was reduced by 1.66×108 hm2 (or 17% of the coverage rate) in 260 years. While after the 1960s, there has been a rapid increase. The forest area increased by 0.7×108 hm2 (or 8% of the coverage rate) in 40 years. The study also shows that there is a significant spatial difference in the dynamics of forest. The amplitudes of increasing and de- creasing in western China are both smaller than the ones in eastern China. During the rapid declining period from 1700 to 1949, the most serious decrease appeared in the Northeast, the Southwest and the Southeast, where the coverage rate in most provinces dropped over 20%.
In Heilongjiang Province, the coverage rate dropped by 50%. In Jilin Province, it dropped by 36%. In Sichuan Province and Chongqing Municipality, it dropped by 42%. In Yunnan Prov- ince, it dropped by 35%. During the recovery period 1949–1998, the western provinces, mu- nicipality and autonomous regions, including Ningxia, Gansu, Inner Mongolia, Si- chuan–Chongqing, Yunnan, Tibet, Xinjiang and Qinghai, etc, the increase rates are all below 5%, while the eastern provinces, municipality and autonomous regions (except Heilongjiang, Hubei, Jiangsu–Shanghai) have achieved an increase over 5%, among which the Guang- dong–Hainan, Guangxi, Anhui, Beijing–Tianjin–Hebei, Shandong, Henan, Zhejiang, and Fu- jian have an increase over 10%.

The United States of America, also known as the United States, the U.S., the U.S.A., and America, is a country in North America that shares land borders with Canada and Mexico, and a sea border with Russia. Extending from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean, the United States is a federal republic, with its capital in Washington, D.C.
The present-day continental United States has been inhabited for at least 15,000 years by indigenous tribes.[1] After European exploration and settlement in the 16th century, the English established their own colonies-and gained control of others that had been begun by other European nations-in the eastern portion of the continent in the 17th and early 18th centuries. On 4 July 1776, at war with Britain over fair governance, thirteen of these colonies declared their independence. In 1783, the war ended in British acceptance of the new nation. Since then, the country has more than quadrupled in size: it now consists of 50 states and one federal district; it also has numerous overseas territories.
At over 3.7 million square miles (over 9.5 million km2), the U.S. is the third or fourth largest country by total area, depending on whether the disputed areas of China are included. It is the worlds third most populous nation, with nearly 300 million people.
The United States has maintained a liberal democratic political system since it adopted its Articles of Confederation on 1 March 1781 and the Constitution, the Articles replacement, on 17 September 1787. American military, economic, cultural, and political influence increased throughout the 20th century; with the collapse of the Soviet Union at the end of the Cold War, the nation emerged as the worlds sole remaining superpower.[2] Today, it plays a major role in world affairs.
The earliest known use of the name America is from 1507, when a globe and a large map created by the German cartographer Martin Waldseemüller in Saint-Die-des-Vosges described the combined continents of North and South America. Although the origin of the name is uncertain[3], the most widely held belief is that expressed in an accompanying book, Cosmographiae Introductio, which explains it as a feminized version of the Latin name of Italian explorer Amerigo Vespucci (Americus Vespucius); in Latin, the other continents names were all feminine. Vespucci theorized, correctly, that Christopher Columbus, on reaching islands in the Caribbean Sea in 1492, had come not to India but to a "New World".
The Americas were also known as Columbia, after Columbus, prompting the name District of Columbia for the land set aside as the U.S. capital. Columbia remained a popular name for the United States until the early 20th century, when it fell into relative disuse; but it is still used poetically and appears in various names and titles. A female personification of the country is also called Columbia; she is similar to Britannia.[4][5][6][7] Columbus Day, a holiday in the U.S. and other countries in the Americas commemorating Columbus October 1492 landing.
The term "united States of America" was first used officially in the Declaration of Independence, adopted on 4 July 1776. On 15 November 1777, the Second Continental Congreadopted the Articles of Confederation, the first of which stated "The Stile of this Confederacy shall be The United States of America."
The adjectival and demonymic forms for the United States are American, a point of controversy among some.

This Thursday is Thanksgiving Day. The writer O’Henry called it the one day that is purely American. Thanksgiving is not a religious holiday. But it has ritual meaning. Some Americans attend religious services on the day before Thanksgiving or on Thanksgiving morning. Others travel long distances to be with their families.
They have a large dinner which is the main part of the celebration. For many Americans, Thanksgiving is the only time when all members of the family gather. The holiday is a time of family reunion. Thanksgiving week is generally one of the busiest travel times of the year. However, experts say this year probably will be different. On September 11th, thousands of people died when terrorists hijacked airplanes that struck buildings in Washington D.C. and New York City. Many people now say they are worried about flying on a plane. Travel experts say almost 6 percent fewer people will make long trips this Thanksgiving compared with last year. Many Americans who usually visit family and friends by plane are driving shorter distances instead this week. Some mental health experts say the attacks have frightened people. They say people feel safer and happier close to home. More than any other holiday, Thanksgiving is a celebration of family and home.
Many people say that this year they are especially thankful for their families and friends and the good things in their lives. On Thanksgiving, people enjoy a long day of cooking, eating and talking. The traditional meal almost always includes the turkey with a bread mixture cooked inside. Other traditional Thanksgiving food served with turkey are sweet potatoes, cranberries and pumpkin pie. Stores are said to sell more food at Thanksgiving than at any other time of the year, and many people eat more food at Thanksgiving than at any other time of the year. Over the years, Americans have added new traditions to their Thanksgiving celebration. For example, a number off professional and university football games are played on Thanksgiving Day. Some of the games are broadcast on national television.

American culture, in a sense, is an extension of European culture, because the language of the Americans, demographic composition and her spirit of the foundation are from Europe. On the other hand, American culture with Europe, because European immigrants in the North American continent to drive away after taking the Indians, in a barren wilderness land to create a stunning is the splendid civilization. Therefore, in the United States talk about cultural practices and social propriety, it is necessary to take account of the same culture of Europe and the United States, but also pay attention to both of the opposite sex. Cultural practices is a wide scope and complexity of the topic, people involved in social life and relations In all aspects.
Of tolerance.The United States is a country of immigrants, the ancestors from around the world. People emigrated to the United States, not only in the location to move on, but also in their country and customs of the council to a new place of residence. As miscellaneous, people their differences very obvious because the differences are very common, people do not particularly pay attention to unity. In time, the cultural practices of the Americans formed a higher level of tolerance (tolerance), the different cultures and different appraisals on tolerance, an acceptable attitude. At this point, the U.S. society feasible than the custom of other countries in the world more broadly.
From a political perspective, this tolerance of performance in the pursuit of freedom and the right to freedom of maintenance. From the religious that it reflected in the harmonious coexistence of different faiths. From the viewpoint of life, and it appeared in different communities, different ethnic communities live in peace. In a nutshell, in the United States, each person can basically arbitrary choice of different ideas, beliefs, traditions and customs and way of life; people can also keep a considerable extent, their customs and instrument.
For example, Jews can celebrate their religious festivals, and Christians are to their Christmas and Easter. For example, again, the United States by Chinese in Chinatown Chinese live and work; the same token, the Vietnamese immigrants in their "little Saigon" according to Vietnams way of doing business and engaged in various activities.

The Culture of the United States is a Western culture, and has been developing since long before the United States became a country. Today the United States is a diverse and multi-cultural nation.
The types of food served at home vary greatly and depend upon the region of the country and the familys own cultural heritage. Recent immigrants tend to eat food similar to that of their country of origin, and Americanized versions of these cultural foods, such as American Chinese cuisine or Italian-American cuisine often eventually appear. German cuisine also had a profound impact on American cuisine, especially the mid-western cuisine, with potatoes and meat being the most iconic ingredients in both cuisines.Dishes such as the hamburger, pot roast, baked ham and hot dogs are examples of American dishes derived from German cuisine.
The primary, although not official, language of the United States is American English. According to the 20xx U.S. Census, more than 97% of Americans can speak English well, and for 81% it is the only language spoken at home. Nearly 30 million native speakers of Spanish also reside in the US. There are more than 300 languages besides English which can claim native speakers in the United States-some of which are spoken by the indigenous peoples (about 150 living languages) and others which were imported by immigrants. American Sign Language, used mainly by the deaf, is also native to the country. Hawaiian is also a language native to the United States, as it is indigenous nowhere else except in the state of Hawaii. Spanish is the second most common language in the United States, and is one of the official languages, and the most widely spoken, in the U.S. Commonwealth of Puerto Rico.
There are four major regional dialects in the United States: northeastern, south, inland north, and midwestern. The Midwestern accent (considered the "standard accent" in the United States, and analogous in some respects to the received pronunciation elsewhere in the English-speaking world) extends from what were once the "Middle Colonies" across the Midwest to the Pacific states.

The main content of American culture is the emphasize on individuals value,the pursue of democracy and freedom,the promotion of deploitation and competition and the need of realistic and practicality.Its core is individualism:self first,personal need first,pursue of individual benefit and enjoyment,emphasize on achieving individual value by self-strive and self-design.This type of intentionally build up of personality and pursue customized individualism has its pros and cons,it gives incentives to people and make them exert on their potential and wisdom and as a result accelerate the development of the entire race and nation; on the other hand it is difficult to keep good relationship among people if everyone is egocentric thus make the entire society lack of unity.
American citizens emphasize on achievements and respect heroes.They have great sense in their hearts to praise success and heroes.Personal achievements are one of those with the highest value in Americans mind.Americans have very strong senses of success.Success is the pursuit of most Americans,it is their attractive future and the incentives for moving forward.They believe that ones personal value is equivalent to his achievements in his career.Some high achievers in their career such as entrepreneurs,scientists,artists and all kinds of super starts became modern heroes.The process and result of how they strived have become the frame of reference of social culture value and the real life text book for parents to educate their children.
American society has great movements within itself.These movements are shown in two aspects:movements amongst locations and movements inside the society.The United States are relatively more open and have more freedom.Developed transport and the tradition of adventure and sporty makes a lot of American migrate from countryside to cities,from downtown to uptown; and from north to the southern sunny land,from one city to another.Unlike European countries,the social classes in America is not so stable.Further more,with the advocation of public education,movements upwards along the social ladder have become possible.Many people living in the states,no matter whether they are Native American or immigrants from overseas,have the same dream of changing their social class and make their lifetime dream come true through their own efforts.This is what they often called "American dream".

American eating is funny. They eat almost everything with a fork, and it appears that holding a knife in ones right hand longer than a few seconds is considered to be against good table manners.
The system is that if it is absolutely necessary to use a knife, people take the fork in their left hand, and cut off a piece of meat or whatever it is in the normal manner. Then they put the knife down, transfer the fork to their right hand, and only then do they transport the food to their mouth. This is clearly ludicrous, but it is considered good manners.
There are several results of this system. First, if it is not absolutely necessary to use a knife, Americans dont use one, because obviously this greatly complicates things, and you will therefore see them trying to cut things like potatoes, fish and even bacon with a fork. Second, towards the end of a course, since only one implement is being used, food has to bo chased around the plate with the fork - and for the last mouthful the thumb has to be used to keep the food in place, although one is not supposed to do this.
Third, tables are generally laid with one knife and two forks, the outside fork being for the salad. There is no need for foreign visitors to follow the American system and try to eat the salad with only a fork, but if you do use your knife, remerber to save it for the meat course. Even desserts(甜食) (except ice cream) are eaten with a fork if at all possible, and the spoon you see by your dessert is meant to be for coffee (but if you use it for your dessert no one will say anything).

The understanding of American culture must not end with what we know on TV, because she has the most distinctive features of her own, which is diversity. As a country with a large immigrant population, the United States does not have a unique way of life, there is no only standard of conduct, and there is no unique culture. The diversity of the United States penetration in all aspects of the country, the following guidelines may not be able to help you overcome all from the cultural differences, but hope to everyone to prepare for the basic study in the United States and general plan to help.
Americans have a very different lifestyle than Chinese people. American food is light and easy to make, and the main course is meat, fish and chicken. A meal usually consists of only one main course, and salads and coffee are by no means less. Hot dogs and hamburgers are two of the most popular fast foods.
Americans are so active that more than a fifth of them move every year. The most detailed list of houses and apartments available on Sunday in newspapers across the country can be used to find homes or to find local estate agents. In addition to paying for rent, the rent house generally pays for utilities, namely gas, electricity, heating, hot water and simple electrical repairs and other repairs. The rent is usually a month, usually on the first day of the month. Electricity in most parts of the United States is 110-120 volts, 60Hz.
Almost every home in the United States has a car, and the American highway is very developed and accessible, so many americans work very far from where they live. They often go on a family trip during the holidays. The most popular means of transportation in the city are buses and subways. The subway is usually run day and night. Taxis are usually paid by distance or by distance. The whole country executes the right driving, the big city executes traffic regulation especially strict.

In 1869, the draft of the statue of Liberty was completed, and Bartholdy began to throw himself into the work of sculpture. He has traveled to the United States to win American support for the statue scheme, but Americans have been slow to realize the value of the gift. Until 1876, Bartholdy held in Philadelphia to celebrate the 100th anniversary independent exposition, in order to attract public attention of , the statue of liberty he held the torch hand on display at the fair, just a sensation.

We boarded the cruise ship and went up to the two floor. The river wind is very cool, put the hair on my forehead to the back, behind the hair along the wind, blown into the "fluttering" hairstyle.

Not far away, just 100 meters ahead, Statue of Liberty holds aloft the torch, gentle and kind, calm and steady.
