Answer 1

分析 高分句型：
句型一：
It is the wisdom of these men that moulded and changed the trajectory of the history．
正是这些人的智慧塑造和改变了历史的轨迹．
本句为强调句；它强调了句中的主语 the wisdom of these men （指的是：这些人的智慧；并非指人），故用连接词that引导后面的从句．
句型二：
If Chairman Mao had no wisdom，we wouldn't have had the new China and the happy life we are living now．
如果毛主席没有智慧，我们就不会有新中国以及我们现在过的幸福生活．
本句为虚拟语气句；由于if从句使用了一般过去时，故主句应使用情态动词would/wouldn't+have+done的形式．

解答 （To choose wisdom）
    Looking back，we see wise men exist in every dynasty and era in mankind's history．It is the wisdom of these men that moulded and changed the trajectory of the history．【高分句型一】Their wisdom become the topics of our daily conversations，the focus of our history books and even anecdotes that are widespread across the globe．（通过论述是历朝历代的智者塑造和改变了历史的轨迹，从而提出论点：即智慧最重要．）
    If Chairman Mao had no wisdom，we wouldn't have had the new China and the happy life we are living now．【高分句型二】If Edison had no wisdom，we would probably be still living in the dark during nights．If Albert Einstein had no wisdom，we wouldn't have got our knowledge about the universe，about space and time．（以历史上的伟人为例，论述了智慧的重要性．）
    As ordinary people，we don't need to become wise men like the ones I have just mentioned above．Yet we still need to learn and try to gain wisdom in everyday life．Wisdom is necessary for our studies，work and even entertainment．With wisdom，we may not become a great person，but at least we can be decent．（论述了智慧在我们普通人的日常生活中也很重要．）

点评 首先应注意议论文写作的三个要素：1、提出论点；2、组织论据，进行论证；3、得出结论； 其次，除了学会套用一些常用的句型和短语外，还需要根据题目的具体内容和要求，灵活地选用句式；另外，根据句子语气的需要，可在英语句中适当地增加一些情态动词"should/can/may/had better/must"，以及句与句之间合理使用一些并列、递进、转折等关系的关联词语，这样，议论文的结构会更加严谨，更具说服力和感染力．
