C. 一篇去重庆旅游的初中生70字英语作文

记得去年夏天，我和姐姐和姐夫夫去北京旅游，我们是因为北京的全聚德烤鸭来的，我一看，呵，人还不少呢。
我这里人山人海，大家都是慕名而来，好不容易才轮到我们，我看到了师傅们烤鸭子的过程，我还知道每一只烤鸭都有一位专门的师傅在客人面前将鸭肉削为薄片。俗话说的好，其实它的吃法非常讲究，首先把烙好的荷叶饼放上香葱、蒜泥和甜面酱，再把削好的鸭肉片卷而食之，真是色香味俱全。
到北京的第二天，我就迫不及待的要求先去长城，大家也都积极响应。那天天公特别作美，本来北京的夏天特别炎热，但是那一天确是阴天，天气凉爽。我们早上九点不到就已经到了长城脚下。因为时间早，所以人还不是特别多，我们买好门票，就开始登城。
我蹦蹦跳跳的登上城墙。不知道是不是因为爬惯了洛带的长城，所以登这个真正的长城，并没有想象的那么累，我甚至觉得有些轻松，我毫不费劲的就爬到了第一个烽火台。
我问姐姐这是怎么回事。小姨正要回答，姐夫却让我自己想一下。我想了想，说，长城是用来抵御北方骑兵入侵的，北边之所以高，南边低，是因为，北边是用来防御的，所以修的高，而南边修的低，这样一方面可以节约石材，另一方面因为南面是和后方相连的，需要不断的补充粮草，姐姐你看，这边还有下城墙的楼梯。姐姐愉快的回答：“完全正确”。姐夫接着问，那北边的这些小孔又是干嘛的？我想了想有点回答不上来，于是小姨提醒我说，如果打仗，是不是需要使用一些武器呀，石材呀，那么这些小孔你觉得能有什么用处？我知道了，这些小孔，是用来射箭，而且可以用来掩护自己，让自己不被敌人射着。
看着这个伟大的工程，我若有所思，那时的人真是太厉害了，这样的工程居然在那个什么建筑工具都没有的时候，就靠人们的双手建成了。
接下来的几天，我去了科技馆，在那儿我看到了很多的稀奇玩意，例如软磁铁，可以同性相吸；气流可以投篮。我还去了天文馆，探索了神秘的宇宙。我到了故宫、颐和园、北海、奥运村等等。

A friend of mine named Paul received an expensive car from his brother as a Christmas present．On Christmas Eve when Paul came out of his office，a street urchin was walking around the shining car．“Is this your car，Paul？” asked．
Paul answered，“Yes，my brother gave it to me for Christmas.” The boy was surprised．“You mean your brother gave it to you and it didn't cost you nothing？Boy，I wish…” He hesitated．
Of course Paul knew what he was going to wish for．He was going to wish he had a brother like that. But what the boy said surprised Paul greatly.
“I wish,” the boy went on，“that I could be a brother like that.” Paul looked at the boy in surprise, then he said again, “Would you like to take a ride in my car？”
“Oh yes，I'd love that．”
After a short ride，the boy turned and with his eyes shining，said，“Paul，would you mind driving in front of my house？”
Paul smiled a little．He thought he knew what the boy wanted．He wanted to show his neighbours that he could ride home in a big car. But Paul was wrong again. “Will you stop where those two steps are？” the boy asked．
He ran up to the steps. Then in a short while Paul heard him coming back, but he was not coming fast. He was carrying his little crippled brother. He sat him down on the step and pointed to the car.
“There she is, Buddy, just like I told you upstairs. His brother gave it to him for Christmas and it didn't cost him a cent. And some day I'm going to give you one just like it…then you can see for yourself all the nice things in the Christmas windows that I've been trying to tell you about.”
Paul got out and lifted the boy to the front seat of his car. The shining-eyed older brother climbed in beside him and the three of them began an unforgettable holiday ride.

A friend of mine was fond of drawing horse. He drew the horses very well,but he always began the tail. Now it is the Western rule to begin at the head of the horse, that is why I was surprised. It struck me that it could not really make any difference whether the artist begins at the head or the tail or the belly（肚子） or the foot of the horse, if he really knows his business. And most great artists who really know their business do not follow other people's rule.They make their own rules. Every one of them does his work in a way peculiar(奇特的) to himself; and the peculiarity means only that he finds it more easy
to work in that way.

Now the very same thing is true to literature(文学). And the question, "How shall I begin?" only means that you want to begin at the head instead of beginning at the tail or somewhere else. That is, you are not yet experienced(有经验的) enough to trust to your own powers. When you become more experienced you will
never ask the question, and I think that you will often begin at the tail --that is to say, you will write the end of the story before you have even thought of the beginning.

1. A friend of the writer's drew the horses ____.

A. very well

B. in the way of western rule

C. in the way of his own rule

D. all of the above

2. The writer was surprised because ____.

A. the artist began to draw at the head of the horse

B. the artist began to draw at the tail of the horse

C. the artist made his own rule

D. the artist did not follow other people's rule
3. You are not yet experienced because ____.

A. you don't know where to begin

B. you want to begin at the head instead of beginning at the tail

C. you always asked question

D. you do not trust to your own powers
4. When you become more experienced you will ____.

A. never ask question

B. often begin at the tail

C. should write the end of the story

D. should think of the beginning

5. The topic of the passage is ______.

A. How to draw a horse

B. How to write a story

D. Trust to your own powers

1、You would like to take good photographs of real-life situations but you have few ideas for pictures. I suggest you look around you. The everyday world is full of scenes being played by an ever-changing group of actors. You probably passed a dozen picture situations without noticing on your way to work this morning.

The realistic approach to photograph has been perfected in the past by such maters as Henri Cartier-Bresson and Bill Brandt. But while you can learn a great deal from looking at the work of others, any success you can hope to achieve in this field has to come from developing an indivial approach.

The main requirement for any photographer has little to do with technical matters. You must develop an awareness of the world around you and the people who live in it, and you should learn to notice when a situation may develop to a point where you will be able to take a good picture. Those who have reached this happy state will be prepared when that moment comes, and will simply raise their camera quickly and shoot. Others who are not so aware will be struggling with camera cases and lens caps.

Film manufactures must be delighted at the thought of the inexperienced photographer setting out in search of the right situation and the right moment. Many miles of costly material have passed through thousands of cameras as this endless search continues. But although a lot of this waste must be put down to inexperience, you'll find that even the professionals have to use a lot of film when they are out shooting.

Not every shot is going to be a winner. If you look at the work of even the best photographers, you'll notice dozens of pictures have had to be taken only because they lead up to the successful shot of a situation that the photographer has obviously been observing through the lens. You may find that you have taken one or two pictures after the right moment has passed as well. There is seldom more than one shot which stands out. There is just one point where it all comes together, and you often have to waste film to catch that precious moment.

1. According to the passage, one can become a better real-life photographer by _____.

A. watching other photographers at work

B. learning about famous photographers

C. just taking a great many photographs

D. developing skills and ideas for yourself

2. The writer thinks that a photographer is required to _____.

A. go out and search for unusual situations

B. be highly skilled in camera techniques

C. be able to tell when a good situation might come

D. have a camera which is easy and quick to use

3. Most likely, to catch the right moment, one must _____.

A. take pictures without too much preparation

B. take a whole series of similar pictures

C. take great care to set up the situation

D. take one picture just at the right moment

4. Which of the following is TRUE?

A. The waste of film in photography is essential to the proction of good pictures.

B. Film manufacturers usually enjoy pictures by inexperienced photographers.

C. Only amateur photographers waste film in taking pictures.

D. The waste of film, which is the result of poor choice of subject, is expensive and unnecessary.

5. The passage is _____.

A. part of a book of camera instruction

B. an advertisement for film

C. a history of photography

D. an introction to photography

KEY: 1. D 2. C 3. B 4. A 5. D

2、The Komodo lizard is the world's largest lizard(蜥蜴). It was not discovered until this century and was named only in 1921. It was formerly found on three Indonesian islands: Komodo, Rintja and Flores. By the 1930's, in spite of government protection, the population of this great lizard had been reced to a few hundred. It was, however, still found on the three main islands and there were still lizards of over 4 metres in length. By 1963, after a period of only fifty years since its discovery, the entire population was based on Komodo. It is now unusual to see one as long as 3 metres. The lizard's normal food consists mainly of wild goats and pigs, animals which the islanders also hunt. This, of course, means that the lizard often gets too little to eat. It will certainly die out soon its hunting and breeding(繁殖) grounds are protected more effectively.
1. The Indonesian government _____ Komodo lizards.

A. thought it necessary to protect

B. didn't think it necessary to protect

KEY: 1. A 2. B 3. C

3、In the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 p.m. If someone receives a call ring sleeping hours, he assumes(想当然地认为)it's a matter of life and death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance.

In social life, time plays a very important part. In the U.S.A. guests tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the attention to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But it is not true in all countries. In other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten. The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings arise(产生) between people from cultures that treat time differently. Promptness is valued highly in American life, for example. If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible. In the U.S. no one would think if keeping a business associate waiting for an hour. It would be too impolite. A person who is 5 minutes late is expected to make a short apology. If he is less than 5 minutes late, he will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence.

1. "The same meaning is attached to telephone calls after 11:00p.m." Here "attached" means _____.

A. taken B. drawn C. given D. shown

2. According to this passage, time plays an important role in _____.

A. everyday life B. school life

C. communication D. private life

3. The best title for this passage is _____.

A. The Voice of Time

B. The Importance of Time

C. The Importance of an Announcement

D. Time and Tide Wait for No Man

4. According to the passage, the author of the article may agree to which of the following statements?

A. It is appropriate to send your invitation cards three or four days before a dinner party date in U.S.A..

B. It may be appropriate to send your invitation cards to your guests three or four days before a dinner party date in some countries.

C. It is best for one to make telephone calls at eight because it costs much less.

D. If one is less than 5 minutes late, he has to make a short apology.

4、At the Barber's Shop(理发店)

5、Mr Perkin's New Car
Mr Perkin stood at the bus-stop and watched the cars go by. Many of the cars
were new Beta 400s, and most of them were yellow. Mr Perkin always wore the
same clothes as other men, ate the same food as other people, and did the same
things after work, and at the end of the week, Mr Perkin did not like to be
different.
The following week, Mr Perkin bought a new, bright yellow Beta 400s. He was
satisfied with it, and drove to work in it the very next day. He was even more
satisfied with his new car, when he saw all the other Beta 400s, in front, behind,
and on both sides of him.
Mr Perkin parked(停车) his car in a big car-park(停车场) near his office,
and walked the rest of the way. But when he came back at five o'clock, there
were so many bright yellow Beta 400s in the car-park that he did not know which
car was his. He tried his key in some of the cars, but people passing by gave
him a look he didn't like. So he stopped.
Poor Mr Perkin had to wait nearly two hours until his was the only yellow
Beta 400s in the car-park.

1. Mr Perkin wanted a new yellow Beta 400s because

你要多少给你多少 先给你篇 要的加我QQ EB00014 The Shadow A scholar who used to live in a cold region took a trip to a place of tropical weather. He stayed in the house all day because it was too hot to go out. "Phew. It is so hot. I can't even go outside." At night, people came out from their houses to get fresh air. The scholar also went out of his house and looked around here and there. "There are a lot of people here. Now I feel better. But how come the house across the street is so quiet?" "Music flows from the house, and such beautiful flowers are in the house. There must be a pretty woman living in that house. "Then, one evening. "That house is quiet again. The only thing that moves in the house is my shadow." The scholar acted as if he was talking to his own shadow. Suddenly, his shadow on the house went into the inside the house. The scholar was shocked. Then, the next day. "How can I lose my own shadow? People will laugh at me. Phew. What am I going to do? I feel awful. What am I going to do now?" In a tropical region, everything grew really fast. Fortunately, the scholar's shadow grew a lot in a week. Then, one evening. Someone visited the scholar. "Who is it? Please come in." A well-dressed gentleman came into his house. "Excuse me, but have we meet before?" The gentleman answered. "Don't you recognize me? Well, I guess you've never imagined that I would show up in front of you with this kind of look. I have been enjoying my own life very much since I left you." "Then, you must be." "That's right! I am your shadow." "How amazing! How can this happen? And how are you doing?" "I will tell you everything. But promise me one thing before I tell my story. Don't you ever tell anyone that I used to be your shadow." "I promise!" "I went into the house across the street and met a Goddess. I learned a lot of things while I was staying there with her. Then, she allowed me to live my own life all by myself. Sometimes I gave severe punishments to bad people. People always welcomed me wherever I was. They just loved me." "Really? That's amazing! How can this happen?" "I've to go now. See you next time." A few years later, the shadow visited the scholar again. The scholar was writing a book, but he was so sad because no one read his book. He felt tired of writing. "You look very exhausted." "No one can understand my book." "You have to take a rest. Let's go to a spa. I will pay for the trip for you. Instead, you should be my shadow." "Oh god! Do I really have to be your shadow?" After long thinking about the shadow's suggestion, the scholar decided to go on the trip and be a shadow. There were lots of people in the spa, and a princess was one of them. The princess saw the shadow and thought, "He is so nice. I want to go out with him." She met the shadow. She liked him very much because he knew everything. The shadow pointed to the scholar and said, "He is my shadow. If you want to know about something, please ask him." "You look so smart." The princess decided to get married to the shadow. The shadow met the scholar and said, "I am going to marry the princess. You can come to the castle and live with us. But you have to be my shadow and have to live under my feet forever." "No, that doesn't make any sense. You are MY shadow." The shadow put the scholar in prison, and then he told the princess. "My shadow is out of his mind. He kept insisting that I am his shadow. There seems to be no chance of his recovery. I will help him to disappear quietly." "Yes, you need to help him." The princess and the shadow finally got married. But the scholar died in prison. <Whatever comes your way, don't forget to keep your self-esteem.>
