2014年高考书面表达考前热身训练 （一） 阅读下面短文，按要求英语写一篇150词左右的短文向《21世纪报》中学生版投稿。 Florence Chadwick was born in California in 1918. She grew up on the beach and began competing as a swimmer at the age of six, when her uncle entered her in a race. For the next 19 years, she continued as a competitive swimmer. On July 4, 1952, at the age of 34, Chadwick attempted to become the first woman to swim 21 miles across the Catalina Channel, from a port on the California coast. That day the ocean was ice cold, the fog was so thick that she could hardly see the support boats that followed her, and sharks swam around her. Several times, her support crew used guns to drive away the sharks. While Americans watched on televisions, her mother and her trainer, who were in one of the support boats, encouraged her to keep going. However, after 15 hours and 55 minutes, with only a half mile to go, she felt that she couldn’t go on, and begged to be taken out of the water. Later, Chadwick told a reporter, “Look, I’m not excusing myself, but if I had seen land I know, I could have made it.” The fog had made her unable to see her swimming goal, and it made her feel she was getting nowhere. Two months later, she tried again. Although the fog was still heavy, yet this time she made it with the goal rooted in her mind. She knew behind the fog was the land she pursued. 【写作内容】 1．以约30个词概括短文大意；2．以约120个词就“Goal and Success”的主题谈谈你的看法，内容包括： 1）分析Chadwick第一次失败和第二次成功的原因； 2）Chadwick的故事对你有什么启发； 3）结合实际谈谈如何实现自己的目标。 【写作要求】 1．可以参照阅读材料的内容，但不得直接引用原文中的句子； 2．作文中不能出现真实姓名和学校名称。 ossible version 1 Goal and Success An American woman swimmer Chadwick succeeded in crossing the Catalina Channel after failing in her first attempt.
