審題立意
1. 導(dǎo)語(yǔ)解讀：要求考生簡(jiǎn)要描述并評(píng)論圖畫內(nèi)容。
2. 漫畫解讀：圖片上清晰可見擁擠的人群正在搭乘電梯上樓，人群緩慢前行；而在他們的左邊一名男子步行走樓梯，暢通無阻。
3. 文章立意：多數(shù)人選擇搭乘電梯是因?yàn)樗麄冏鍪虑榱?xí)慣性選擇最省勁兒的方法，加之從眾心理的驅(qū)使，他們的腳步受到了阻礙。然而，對(duì)于選擇爬樓梯的人，雖然要付出更多的努力，但是卻節(jié)省了時(shí)間，加快了腳步。因此，只有不盲從，開辟新的道路，才能為成功創(chuàng)造更多的可能。
寫作思路
1. 第一段簡(jiǎn)要描述漫畫內(nèi)容，然后提出論點(diǎn)：絕不盲從，要開辟新道路。
2. 第二段通過對(duì)比論證闡述開辟新道路優(yōu)于盲目從眾：多數(shù)人選擇搭乘電梯是出于兩點(diǎn)原因：一是省力，二是習(xí)慣性從眾。這樣做反倒阻礙了自己前進(jìn)的腳步。然而，對(duì)于爬樓梯的人來說，雖然費(fèi)點(diǎn)勁，但由于無人與其爭(zhēng)搶，反倒加快了腳步，節(jié)省了時(shí)間。較之開辟新道路，盲目從眾更不易使自己脫穎而出，反倒錯(cuò)失成功的機(jī)會(huì)。
3. 第三段呼應(yīng)文章論點(diǎn)，再次強(qiáng)調(diào)盲從不是明智之舉，開辟新道路更易使自己脫穎而出，增加成功的機(jī)會(huì)。
參考范文
As is shown in the picture, facing two ways of going upstairs, a throng chooses to take the escalator while a man carrying his heavy baggage chooses to climb the steps. 1 If I were in the same situation, I would like to be the latter because climbing the steps seems faster than taking the escalator. 2 Obviously, the same can be said of the attitude people should take towards life. 2 Trying a new way turns out to be more efficient than just following others blindly. 3
Generally speaking, there are two reasons leading to the majority of people to take the escalator. One 4 is that people are inclined to do everything in the principle of least effort. The other 4 is that people have long been dominated by herd mentality in their minds. As a matter of fact, both “l(fā)east effort” and “herd mentality” unavoidably hinder movement. On the contrary 5 , climbing the steps enables people to quicken the pace and saves more time despite taking strenuous efforts.
To sum up, following others blindly is not always the wise choice. Trying a new way makes it possible to distinguish one from others, which proves to be a super opportunity for getting closer to success. 6
如圖所示，面對(duì)上樓的兩種方式，一群人選擇了搭乘電梯，而一位攜帶重行李的男士選擇了爬樓梯。如果我處于同樣的情境之下，我愿意做后者，因?yàn)榕罉翘菘雌饋肀瘸穗娞莞旖?。顯然，人們對(duì)待生活的態(tài)度也是同樣的道理：開辟新的道路結(jié)果會(huì)比盲從更有效。
一般說來，多數(shù)人選擇搭乘電梯有兩種原因。其一是因?yàn)槿藗冏鋈魏问虑槎純A向于本著“最省力原則”。其二是因?yàn)殚L(zhǎng)期以來人們受到“從眾心理”的驅(qū)使。事實(shí)上，“最省力原則”和“從眾心理”都不可避免地阻礙行動(dòng)。相反，爬樓梯雖然要付出艱辛的努力，卻能使腳步加快，也更節(jié)省時(shí)間。
總之，盲從不總是明智之舉。開辟新的道路有可能使人脫穎而出，它被證明是一個(gè)能夠讓人們更加靠近成功的絕佳機(jī)遇。
范文點(diǎn)評(píng)
1. 開篇簡(jiǎn)要描述圖片的內(nèi)容。
2. 自然過渡，引出在做選擇時(shí)應(yīng)持有的態(tài)度，緊扣作文話題。
3. 首段末句明確表達(dá)自己的觀點(diǎn)：開辟新的道路結(jié)果會(huì)比盲從更有效。
4. 分層次闡釋了人們搭乘電梯的原因，分析到位。
5. 采用對(duì)比論證的方式說明爬樓梯比搭乘電梯有優(yōu)勢(shì)，論證恰如其分，同時(shí)也體現(xiàn)了論證方法的多樣性。
6. 末段總結(jié)全文，重申觀點(diǎn)，并強(qiáng)調(diào)不盲從、開辟新道路的必要性。

句法點(diǎn)評(píng)
1. Obviously, the same can be said of the attitude people should take towards life.
本句使用了the same can be said of...這一結(jié)構(gòu)，意為“對(duì)于……也是同樣的道理”，指同樣的道理適用于另外一種情況。
2. Trying a new way makes it possible to distinguish one from others, which proves to be a super opportunity for getting closer to success.
此句包含兩個(gè)常用句式：①make it possible to，意思是“使……成為可能”。其中it是形式賓語(yǔ)，真正的賓語(yǔ)是to后面的distinguish one from others。由于真正的賓語(yǔ)太長(zhǎng)所以被后置，前面由形式賓語(yǔ)代替。②prove to be，意為“證明是，原來是，結(jié)果是”。此處，prove用作系動(dòng)詞，后可接形容詞或名詞，該結(jié)構(gòu)中的to be可以省略。
