　　Part ⅠWriting

　　①審題及布局。此寫作題是一篇提綱式作文。在布局上，按照提綱的要求展開寫作即可。第一段指出地震發(fā)生的時(shí)間、地點(diǎn)和災(zāi)情;第二段講述全國人民對(duì)四川的捐助情況;第三段說明自己作為學(xué)生能為災(zāi)區(qū)做些什么。②語言。作為一篇記敘文，語言表達(dá)要準(zhǔn)確生動(dòng)，句式要多樣，詞匯要豐富，這樣可以增添文采。

　　Hand in Hand We Stand

　　On May 12, 2008, an 8.0-magnitude earthquake struck Sichuan. Thousands of people lost their lives and even more people were left homeless. But, hand in hand, the Chinese people faced this disaster with compassion and courage.

　　People across China offered to make donations energetically. Relief materials and funds were continuously pouring into quake hit areas. What’s more, several rescue teams and medical professionals, at home and abroad, was sent to the earthquake stricken areas to search and rescue the survivals.

　　As far as we students are concerned, we should provide our helping hands for the earthquake stricken compatriots. We can donate our spare money to the suffering people who are in urgent need of food and medicine. Blood donation is also of vital significance for those injured people. Students who are equipped with professional skills can volunteer to the earthquake stricken areas to rescue more lives. Besides, our spirit support and sincere prayers can help the broken hearts overcome the temporary disaster.第一段開門見山，指出地震發(fā)生的時(shí)間和地點(diǎn)。其中，hand in hand “手挽手”、face this disaster with compassion and courage“用熱情和勇氣面對(duì)災(zāi)難”屬于高分表達(dá)，為文章增色不少。

　　第二段直接說明全國人民對(duì)災(zāi)區(qū)的捐助情況。What�餾 more的使用使文章層次分明，結(jié)構(gòu)清晰。make donations“捐贈(zèng)”、pour into“涌入”這些都是高分表達(dá)。

　　第三段闡述自己作為學(xué)生能為災(zāi)區(qū)做點(diǎn)什么。Besides進(jìn)一步說明，支持不光包括物質(zhì)方面，還包括精神方面。As far as one is concerned是表達(dá)自己觀點(diǎn)時(shí)的常用句型;in urgent need of “急切需要”;be equipped with“具備”均為高分表達(dá)。

　　Part ⅡReading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning)

　　本文主要介紹了飛機(jī)的相關(guān)知識(shí)，包括飛機(jī)內(nèi)部的一些重要儀器及它們的功能，飛機(jī)的制造和發(fā)展，指出了現(xiàn)代飛機(jī)與早期飛機(jī)的不同之處及相關(guān)問題;介紹了飛機(jī)場的規(guī)模和功用，飛機(jī)跑道、機(jī)場控制塔、機(jī)場大樓等的工作原理及作用等。

　　1. N)。[精析]本文介紹了飛機(jī)、飛機(jī)場等有關(guān)設(shè)施的特點(diǎn)，并沒有介紹飛機(jī)的發(fā)展史。

　　2. NG)。[定位]由題干關(guān)鍵詞an automatic pilot定位到第1個(gè)標(biāo)題下的第二段第一句話。

　　[精析]原文指出自動(dòng)駕駛儀無需駕駛員按任何按鈕便可駕駛飛機(jī)，甚至可以自動(dòng)起飛和降落。但并未提及它駕駛飛機(jī)比駕駛員強(qiáng)。

　　3. Y)。[定位]由題干關(guān)鍵詞the radio equipment定位到第1個(gè)小標(biāo)題下第二段末句，“The radio equipment allows…to receive navigation signals.”

　　[精析]該句意為“無線設(shè)備使駕駛員能夠與地面控制人員談話，接收導(dǎo)航信號(hào)”，是題干的同義轉(zhuǎn)述。

　　4. Y)。[定位]由題干關(guān)鍵詞solid定位到第2個(gè)標(biāo)題下首段首句Early airplanes were made of wood frames covered by fabric and held in shape by wire.

　　[精析]該句意為“早期的飛機(jī)是由鐵絲固定，織物包裹的木結(jié)構(gòu)制成的”，這顯然不如現(xiàn)代飛機(jī)堅(jiān)固。
