Question

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。
It was a winter morning, just a couple of weeks before Christmas 2005. Trevor, my husband, parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does. After putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone.
The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family.
I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that, several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before.
People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity（人性）as a whole. No matter how big or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be everlasting.

Answer 1

The author describes her experience of losing her bike but afterwards getting help from many people. The author thinks highly of the acts of kindness and believes it will influence many other people.
This reminds me of my experience when I was eight years old. I was left alone at home, doing my homework when an old man knocked at my door and begged for food. He was in rags and tired, obviously coming from a long distance. I hesitated at that moment because my family was not well off. But when I saw his worried look, I filled his bowl with rice. He was very thankful to me and said that I would be rewarded for my kind heart. Many years have passed, I still well remember that I have ever given a hand to an old man who was in need.
Nowadays, some people claim to have been cheated out of money when they try to offer help to others. However, I still insist that the acts of kindness should be encouraged. If everyone is willing to hold out their hands to those in trouble, there will be fewer problems in this world.

试题分析：本文首先描述了丢了自行车后来得到了很多人的帮助，作者认为这样的善意的行为对其他人有很好的影响。你对“助人为乐”的看法，可以叙述一次你得到别人帮助的具体的经历来说明助人为乐的社会价值。你认为这个社会应该需要助人为乐的精神，因为助人为乐能够让我们的社会更和谐更美好。要求考生在保证内容要点全部概括的基础上可以充分发挥自己的想象，进而用自己的语言来表达某种观点或看法，增添了写作的灵活性，同时能较好地考查考生的想象能力和英语语言表达能力
点评：开放性作文只给出了一个话题，给考生自由发挥的余地很大。对于考生的综合能力要求较高，要求考生有很强的谋篇布局的能力和组织要点的能力。在完成开放性作文时，首先要选择自己熟悉的短语或者句型，在你的能力范围之内，选择句式时要赋予变化，因为这样你才可以更好的驾驭。同时也要选择合适的连接词，把各个要点组织成一个完整的整体，如besides, further, last but not least等。在发表个人观点的时候，可以使用谚语来提升整个文章的档次和文采，也能增加得高分的可能性。
