本文是議論文，結(jié)構(gòu)很清晰，即提出問題，分析問題，然后解決問題。問題包括幾個方面，根據(jù)嚴(yán)重性依次介紹。解決方法可以按照重要性的順序進行陳述。分析問題時，要注意客觀和全面，切忌主觀和片面。

[寫作思路]

第一段：指出人口老齡化的嚴(yán)重性，可引用數(shù)據(jù)，給人印象更加深刻可信。

第二段：指出人口老齡化帶來的問題，按嚴(yán)重性逐一介紹。

第三段：提出解決方案。

3.AThank-youLetterJune19th[l]DearSirorMadam[2]OnbehalfoftheStudentUnionofouruniversityIsincerelythankXcompanyAThank-youLetterJune,19th[l]DearSirorMadam,[2]OnbehalfoftheStudentUnionofouruniversity,IsincerelythankXcompany解析：這篇作文屬于應(yīng)用文寫作。在寫信的時候，首先必須把自己置于相關(guān)的情境中：明白寫信人(“我”)是誰，收信人(“你”)是誰，二者關(guān)系如何，寫這封信的目的是什么。在此基礎(chǔ)上，再根據(jù)outline的要求考慮如何把相關(guān)信息融入信中。這樣的信，才能得體。

以本作文為例，我們可以判斷：①寫信人是代表學(xué)生會動筆的，不應(yīng)看做私人信件。這種信可以用DearSirorMadam作抬頭，也可以直接稱呼對方DearMr.Smith之類(當(dāng)然可以假定寫信人是認(rèn)識對方X公司的經(jīng)理或老總的了)。落款則應(yīng)寫自己的名字。②寫信的目的有兩個，首先是感謝對方的贊助(送禮也是表示謝意的方式)，其次是表達良好的祝愿。要辨明重點，應(yīng)該以表示謝意為主，祝愿的內(nèi)容只需最后簡短表示即可。③學(xué)生會這樣的學(xué)生團體如果要給贊助過自己的企業(yè)表示感謝，應(yīng)該會送什么禮物呢?outline沒有明確說明，需考生沒身處地杜撰一個——這是本作文題的難點!絕不能太貴；一定要有紀(jì)念意義；該禮品注重精神價值而非物質(zhì)價值；該禮品應(yīng)該可以為公司收藏，可以放入公司“陳列室”里。從這些要求出發(fā)設(shè)想一個禮品出來吧!范文用記錄足球賽頒獎典禮的DVD作禮品，就很好，很得體。(此外還可以考慮送什么禮物呢?書畫作品、相冊、都可以吧!)

Analysis

[1]這是公函的格式。

[2]把outline的第1點開門見山說出來。應(yīng)用文忌套話空話，直接點題是最好的辦法。注意“代表……表示感謝”的說法。

[3]寫信時的必背句型。無論求職求學(xué)還是別的場合，都有可能需要隨信附送別的文件/物件之類，就要用到attached/enclosedpleasefind…。

[4]說明送禮意圖。remembrance，用得好。此處也可以用gift等。

[5]對禮物的含義加以說明是必要的。下面的幾句話都是說明該禮物與公司贊助的活動之間的關(guān)系的。

[6]再次表示感謝。

[7]緊扣outline的第3點。表示祝愿。注意文中“感謝”的表達方法：thank,gratitude，appreciate。詞語富于變化才能顯得有文采。

[思路]第一段說明學(xué)生的運動目的各有不同；

第二段詳細(xì)陳述兩種不同的觀點；

第三段提出自己的觀點：運動既要有興趣還要兼顧健康。

11.B解析：由題干關(guān)鍵詞award定位到第一個小標(biāo)題GeneralIntroduction下第二段第一句。Anawardofpatent，trademarkorcopyrightprotectionrequiresadelicatebalancebetweentheinterestsoftheinventororauthorandtheinterestofsocietyasawhole．(對專利、商標(biāo)、版權(quán)保護的獎勵需要巧妙地平衡發(fā)明者或作者的利益與整個社會的利益。)因此題干中thatoftheotherindividuals的表述錯誤。

12.theirPhysicalproblemstheirPhysicalproblems解析：由題干關(guān)鍵詞complaintsfromsomechildrenwhohavedifficultiesinlearning定位到第四個小標(biāo)題下第一段第一句。一些學(xué)習(xí)有困難的學(xué)生對于學(xué)校的抱怨源于他們身體的問題，也就是說他們的抱怨是由身體問題引起的。

13.randomelectricalactivityrandomelectricalactivity解析：第6個小標(biāo)題Dreams部分的第2段第1句：Thebraincreatesdreamsthroughrandomelectricalactivity．空白處需要名詞性成分。原文中用through，題目用experience，其實表示的都是方式，故答案為through后面的名詞短語randomelectricalactivity。

14.A解析：本題根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第五段而設(shè)?！癥ouknowtheoneslmean:lackofresourcesandtoolittlepoliticalcommitment.Theseareoftenthetrue‘killers’．”也就是說資源缺乏及政治支持稀缺是經(jīng)常面臨的挑戰(zhàn)。本段中詞組“subjectto”的意思是“受制于……。
