Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write an essay on reading by referring to the saying “There are worse crimes than burning books. One of them is not reading them .” You can cite examples to illustrate your point. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.
審題立意
1. 導語解讀:要求考生根據(jù) “有比焚書更嚴重的罪行,其中之一就是不讀書”這句話,寫一篇文章,可以舉例說明。
2. 文章立意:有書不讀首先是一種資源浪費,占據(jù)了已經(jīng)很有限的資源卻不珍惜。而且有書不讀也會讓作者所付出的心血付之東流。
寫作思路
1. 第一段通過一個諺語,對擁有書卻不讀與“朱門酒肉臭,路有凍死骨”作類比。
2. 第二段通過兩層說明,解釋為什么把擁有書卻不讀書比作犯罪。
3. 第三段呼應主題,并對全文進行總結(jié),得出結(jié)論,只有擁有書并充分利用它們才能體現(xiàn)書的價值。
參考范文
Just as an old saying goes “The portals of the rich reek of flesh and wine while frozen bodies lie by the roadside”, having books but not reading them is just the same. 1
Having books but not reading them is compared to committing crimes and it is indeed the case. Firstly 2 , it is a waste of resources. They possess the valuable book resources but they don’t cherish them. On the contrary, some others who want to read books can’t access them because they are poor. Secondly 2 , many people regard owning books as the symbol of status and books become assets to show off their status. However, books are special goods and their value is embodied in teaching people knowledge. Writers spend a lot of time and effort finishing their works. But their painstaking effort has been undervalued and spoiled by those who show off their books as their possessions.
In summary, owning books is such a lucky thing that one should make the best of them. Only by doing so can the value of books be fully reflected. 3
正如一句古語所說“朱門酒肉臭,路有凍死骨,”有書卻不讀跟這種情況類似。
有書不讀被人比作犯罪,確實如此。首先,有書不讀是一種資源浪費。這些人擁有寶貴的圖書資源卻不珍惜,而有些想讀書的人卻因為沒有錢買不起書讀。其次,許多人把擁有書看作是身份的象征,書成了他們向人炫耀的東西。殊不知,書是一種特殊的商品,它的價值體現(xiàn)在能夠使人獲得知識。作者花費了大量的時間和精力去完成他們的作品,但是他們的心血被那些把書作為自己私有財產(chǎn)的炫耀者貶低、破壞殆盡。
總而言之,擁有書是一件很幸運的事,因此擁有書的人應該充分利用這些書。只有這樣,書的價值才能充分得以體現(xiàn)。

句法點評
1. On the contrary, some others who want to read books can’t access them because they are poor.
短語on the contrary意為“反之”,用于引出與上文相對的情形。
2. But their painstaking effort has been undervalued and spoiled by those who show off their books as their possessions.
