95、 56 (important) than new ones. For example, if two pieces of advice 57 (give) to solve a problem, one from a new friend and the other from an old friend, people always tend to choose the latter one, although the new friends advice may be better. I, however, 58 (agree) with the old saying, believing

96、that new friends are not 59 (necessary) worse than old friends. Why? Because the 60 (long) of time cannot tell whether your friendship is better or not. Once you call someone friend, he must be a person 61 is reliable and whose interests are in common with 62 (you). Maybe a friends outside look 63 (

97、change) all the time, but the inside characters of him and his interests wont change at all.

There was a debate competition in my neighbouring school. My friend and I volunteered to participate in the debate. There were many topics to choose from a

102、nd I chose to speak on AIDS. Even though I had no idea what the competition would be like, I decided to go ahead and prepare for it and I used an article from a magazine as reference. On the day of the event, I practiced my lines but was feeling nervous as there would be many listeners and the stage

103、 fear was chasing me already and truly it caught up with me. I reached the auditorium (礼堂), and it was large. The competition began, and I was getting sweaty palms. I was at a loss when the speaker before my turn unexpectedly had chosen the same topic as me and also referred to the same magazine and

104、 reproduced it line by line, leaving me in a daze (恍惚) on what to do next as I just had a couple of minutes with me. Soon enough I was on the stage and I could gather courage and speak for only two minutes. I felt so bad. I had not only let my school down but also myself. I then decided to put in my

105、 best efforts and overcome my stage fear and prepare well for the next debate. Luckily I did not have to wait long as the next competition was organized by my school. This time my topic was against castes (印度的种姓; 等级制度) in indian society. I wrote the script with my own efforts and practiced for hours

106、 in front of the mirror even though I had learned the script by heart. The day came and this time I was confident about myself, I just went about doing my job and lasted for five minutes. I had a very satisfied feeling coming from within. When the results were announced, I had come second in the eve

107、nt, I was so happy and all my efforts paid off. _【参考范文】Twenty years ago, as a middle school student I attended a debate competition. (要点1)As I was not well prepared and I got nervous and feared, I lost the competition. (要点2)Soon another debate competition was held. I prepared for every detail, conqu

108、ered myself and got the second place. (要点3)From this experience I know efforts will pay off sooner or later. (要点4)【分析】这是一篇概要写作。【详解】写作步骤(1)细读原文。首先要仔细阅读短文, 掌握文章主旨和结构, 明确各段的大意。文章主要讲述了二十年前, 作者作为一名中学生参加了一次辩论赛。由于作者没有准备好, 内心紧张和害怕, 最后输了比赛。不久, 另一场辩论赛举行了。作者准备好了每一个细节, 战胜了自己, 获得了第二名。从这次经历中, 作者知道努力迟早会有回报的。(2)弄清要

109、求。新高考的概要写作是写全文概要, 不是写某一部分的概要, 或者就某些问题写出要点。(3)列出原文要点。分析原文的内容和结构, 将内容分项扼要表述并注意在结构上的顺序。在此基础上选出与文章主题密切相关的部分。(4)在写作时要特别注意下面几点: 概要应包括原文中的主要事实, 略去不必要的细节。安排好篇幅的比例, 概要应同原文保持协调, 即用较多的文字写重要内容, 用较少的文字写次要内容。注意要点之间的衔接, 要用适当的关联词语贯通全文, 切忌只简单地写出一些互不相干的句子, 但也不要每两句之间都加关联词语, 以免显得生硬。不排斥用原文的某些词句, 但不要照搬原文的句子, 如果不能完全用自己的话语表达, 至少对原文句子做一些同义词替换, 如果结构上也能有一些转换会更好。计算词数, 看是否符合规定的词数要求。【点睛】本文描写详略得当, 使用了高级词汇和高级句子。如: attend; a debate competition; well prepared; conquer; effort; pay off; sooner or later和As I was not well prepared and I got nervous and feared, I lost the competition. 运用了原因状语从句等。
