　　满分佳作

　　(2017·江苏高考)请根据你对以下两幅图的理解， 以“Actions Speak Louder than Words”为题， 用英语写一篇作文。

　　　参考词汇：banner(横幅)　stump(树桩)

　　你的作文应包括以下内容：

　　1．简要描述两幅图的内容；

　　2．概述你对两幅图中不同做法的理解；

　　3．举例说明两幅图对你的启示。

　　Actions Speak Louder than Words

　　People celebrate Earth Day differently. In Picture 1, a man is trying to put up a banner on a lonely tree surrounded by stumps, but in vain, while Picture 2 shows a couple happily planting trees.

　　The message conveyed here is clear：“Actions Speak Louder than Words.” Our earth is suffering severe damage. Should we just pay lip service or take practical measures to protect it? The answer is definitely the latter.Immediate actions should be taken, ①like stopping cutting down trees, to better the environment.

　　Actions are important in other fields, too. Instead of shouting empty slogans, it is more meaningful to donate books and sports goods to children in need. We should strictly and voluntarily follow traffic rules, stopping at the red light rather than complaining about traffic jams.②Only when we match our words with actions can we

　　　make a difference in whatever we hope to accomplish.

　　热身体验

　　Ⅲ.阅读理解

　　(2017·合肥一中模拟)Seated in a convertible (敞篷车) with the top down at 60 miles an hour, Mary looked at the flies that sat on top of Mark's hair. How could they stay there? She wondered.

　　Mary had not seen Mark in years, until the other day when he came into the café where she worked. His appearance was different from when he was in high school. Now, he was a bit fat and thick glasses covered his eyes.

　　However, that didn't change Mary's feelings for him at all. He had just bought a brand new red sports car and asked her if she would like to go for a ride and then have dinner with him. Her heart beat with excitement as he opened the door for her. She noticed something very strange as Mark got into the car and started to drive away. On the hair was a group of flies just sitting there.

　　Mary stared in amazement. It seemed the faster they drove, the more determined the flies were to stick to his hair.

　　Mary remained silent. She leaned forward and turned the radio on, to try to replace her attention away from the flies, but she couldn't help thinking about them. She looked up at Mark, who was completely devoted to what was going on and continued to sing to the music while driving merrily along.

　　Finally, Mark pulled the vehicle over to the side of the road beside a diner and looked in the mirror and said, “Mary, I would like to comb my hair before we get something to eat. Could you reach under the seat and give me my hair cream？”

　　Mary reached under the seat and pulled out a camping backpack,

　　which contained a round jar and started to laugh wildly as she pointed to the label (商标)．

　　“That's not hair cream on your hair, Mark! It says it's Fly Trap Glue！”

　　In our daily life, we have so many difficulties and hardships that someone will be disappointed and give up the hope of success. However, when faced with difficulties and hardships, our attitude really counts.

　　Once I took part in a speech contest. So difficult was the topic that I completely had no idea about it. Even the time for preparation was limited. I felt hopeless and wanted to give up. But deep in my heart I didn't want to be a coward. So I recovered my courage and took the speech contest seriously. I said to myself, “If I try my best, I won't feel regretful, no matter what the result is.” In the following days, I spared no effort and struggled for my goal. Eventually my efforts paid off. I won the first prize, which was much better than I had expected.
