【题目】请阅读下面文字, 并按照要求用英语写一篇 150 词左右的文章。
There’s no doubt that work deadlines can be stressful. When you have too many, you can feel overcome. And nearing deadlines encourages last-minute dashes for the finish line, like when students pull ‘all-nighters’ in an attempt to achieve weeks’ worth of essay writing in a handful of hours.
Yet there’s no question deadlines can serve a positive psychological function-after all, without them, many students might never even finish their work. You can see evidence for the power of deadlines in the ‘real world’, too. For instance, in 2015, when the US National Science Foundation dropped its usual twice-yearly deadlines for grant submissions in geoscience, as part of an attempt to help the overburdened system, the effect was dramatic. Annual submissions fell by 59% without the pressure of a deadline and it seems that many scientists lacked the urgency and motivation to deliver their applications.
As new research findings shed light on the psychology of deadlines, we can learn ways that deadlines can be used to increase focus and boost perseverance.

【答案】To meet deadlines, people have to work with every fibre of their being, feeling stressed and pressured. However, deadlines can function positively and powerfully, proved by the 2015 example.
Deadlines have great influence on our work. For one thing, part of the motivating power of deadlines has to do with our goal. To realize our goal, we are willing to burn the midnight oil to get the work done more efficiently. For another, deadlines can help keep us in focus and advance our work. Without deadlines, we might find our targets and priorities postponed indefinitely, creating a feeling that we are simply drifting along, lacking in work enthusiasm.
Here are my suggestions on how best to tackle the problem. Firstly, draw up a schedule and ensure everything goes according to it. If not, adjust it in time. Secondly, stay focused on your schedule and pace your efforts.
Now, get down to your work today and you will surely complete it before the deadline and gain an unexpected harvest.
【解析】
这是一篇读写任务。题干中“写作内容”中,很清晰地列出了写作时需要包含的三方面的内容。首先是总结文章内容,其次是谈谈“截止日期”的重要性以及就如何确保在“截止日期”内完成任务提出你的建议。第二三部分是文章写作时的重点,也是同学们需要自己发挥的部分。
第一步:总结文章概要。由第二段中的Yet there’s no question deadlines can serve a positive psychological function(但毫无疑问,截止日期可以起到积极的心理作用)可知,这篇文章主要讲述了虽然截止日期会给人带来压力,但截止日期具有积极的心理功能。范文第一段就是总结的这篇文章的中心,However与文中的yet呼应,前边一句是对第一段中心的总结,后一句是对后边两段内容的总结。其中的positively与 powerfully与文章中心句中的positive呼应。
第二步:谈谈设置“截止日期”的重要性。文章最后一句“we can learn ways that deadlines can be used to increase focus and boost perseverance(我们能够发现截止日期能被用来提高注意力,增强毅力。)”给我们写这一段提供了方向,我们可以从如何提高注意力与增强毅力两方面来谈。例如范文中前半部分主要写part of the motivating power of deadlines has to do with our goal(截止日期的激发作用与目标有关),我们可以关注目标,提升战斗力。后半部分主要写deadlines can help keep us in focus and advance our work(截止日期能让我们集中于目标,继续保持前进)。这两部分与文章最后一句中的两个方向吻合。
第三步:就如何确保在“截止日期”内完成任务提出你的建议。既然截止日期与日期有关,我们就是需要做出计划,按照计划执行即可。倒数第二段中的两个建议也就是要我们做出计划,严格执行。
第四步:列提纲 (重点词组)
work with every fibre of their being(绷紧神经工作);have great influence on…(对……有重要影响);has to do with…(与……有关);are willing to…(愿意);burn the midnight oil to…(熬夜去做……);keep us in focus(让我们保持注意力);pace your effort(调整好你的努力)等。
第五步:遣词造句:同学们在写作时不能逐句翻译,可以适当增加细节,以使行文连贯,同时要点表述要完整,文章要通顺,准确使用时态和语态。
第六步:连句成文:写作时要适当使用连词、过渡词和插入语,使文章浑然一体。同时恰当而合理地使用一些高级词汇和句型,如定语从句等,以提高文章档次。

【题目】 Have you ever frequently put off things you should do for various reasons? If so, it is procrastination (拖延). Procrastinators often put off doing things and leave them to the very last moment. 【1】Lazy people simply don’t do anything and are just fine with it. Procrastinators, on the other hand, have the desire to do something but can’t force themselves to start.
You might think procrastination is a bit annoying but fairly harmless. However, long term procrastination has bad effects on your health. Not having seen the doctor when your illness was easier to treat may shorten your life. Just thinking about what you haven’t done may cause discomfort. 【2】
Don’t place too much pressure on yourself. “This project has to impress everyone; I really can’t blow this opportunity,” 【3】 Overcome this mental block by simply allowing yourself to be imperfect with the next small task. You can always improve your work later.
【4】 Concentrating on the size and difficulty of a task will overcome you and promote procrastination. Any work can be broken into smaller steps. The trick is - with each step along the way — to focus on the next achievable tasks. Make sure you can easily imagine the outcome of your small task. Don’t write a book; write a page.
Focus on starting, rather than finishing. For someone who’s having a hard time starting a task, imagining a hard-to-grasp future can be depressing. The solution in this case, then, is to focus on starting. 【5】 We all know that if we start, we’ll eventually finish the task.
A.Break a long project down into short tasks.
B.So procrastination is about managing the time.
C.So we should apply ourselves to overcoming it.
D.However, procrastination is different from laziness.
E.Focus on the negative effects of the procrastination.
F.Bring your focus from the future to what can be done right now.
G.Placing such high hopes on a project only adds anxiety and fear of failure.
