高考必备背诵话题1.Project话题：Starting a new school club参加学校社团的意义As teenagers, we should not always get “buried”in textbooks(专注于课本). There are so many societies（社团，单数为society可做社会讲）we can try. I am now in an English drama club, in which I can not only communicate with native speakers （说母语的人）, but also explore my acting skills （演技）. An English club is a good way for English lovers to connect with peers （同龄人）who have the same interests and find companions（伙伴）to chat with freely. Actively participating in societies （积极参与社团—此处为动名词作主语）helps us to develop in an all-round manner.（全面地发展）2.Project话题：Growing pains 成长的烦扰As teenagers get older, they undergo（经历，经受，underwent,undergone）great physical and psychological/ˌsaɪkəˈlɑːdʒɪkl/ changes（身体和心理上的变化）. They may not have the wisdom to make good choices in their behavior. In the social world（社会的世界）, they struggle to depend on themselves. They may badly want and need their parents’love, yet feel distant（感到有距离感）; they may want to be part of the group, yet desire independence. Since teenagers have difficulty balancing these needs, they often question who they are and how they fit in society. （适应社会）3.Reading话题：Dying to be thin…想瘦身想得快死了……Some weight control methods like crash diets and diet pills can be harmful or even fatal. The long-term abuse of pills doesn’t result in a slim figure but they do have side effects: physical and psychological problems. While some of those weight-loss pills may result in initial weight loss for the first couple of weeks, the effects will soon wear off. Experts say that students need to choose the safest and simplest method to lose weight. It’s recommended to consult a doctor about whether you need to lose weight or not and what plan best suits you. There is no need at all for a perfectly normal girl to take a lot of trouble to lose weight. Health is the primary concern.（改编自网站专栏文章）【词语注解】crash diets 速效节食fatal 致命的wear off逐渐消失consult a doctor about sth. 和医生咨询某件事There is no need for sb. to do sth.没必要做某事4.Task话题：Analyzing statistics 数据分析和提出建议According to our survey, we have found that over half the students surveyed often play sports. The most popular sport is basketball, which is played by 45% of the students. This is followed by football, which 40% of the students often play. A small number of students play other sports, such as table tennis.We recommend offering students more sports. For this reason, we suggest that we organize a school basketball tournament, since basketball is the most popular sport in the school. Each class would have its own basketball team which would practice several afternoons aweek. Then on sports day, the classes could compete against each other. We could offer awards to the winning team and the most enthusiastic players. This would be a good way to build the school spirit with an activity that many students enjoy. （改编自英文教材）【词语注解】This is followed by football.足球紧随其后。

Travel reveals the big picture. We may lose ourselves in our own lives from time to time. Sometimes we can’t separate our daily existence from the broader perspective. Travel provides a chance to get away from your routine. It forces you to see your life from the outside. Travel improves your social skills. During travel, you’ll be forced to interact with many, many more people than you’re used to. And sometimes you won’t even be able to use your first language（母语）. So just throw away your shyness –that won’t guide you to your destination. Go and interact with people. They’re an important part of the experience. （改编自英文专栏文章）【词语注解】more than just a stamp in your passport不仅仅是你护照上的印戳the big picture大局（自顶向下的角度来看一个问题或情况）separate our daily existence from the broader perspective.将我们的日常生活和更广阔的视野隔离/区分get away from your routine 摆脱刻板的生活social skills社交能力interact with sb.和某人互动6.单元话题：Amazing people 伟大的人物（屠呦呦）Tu You you has become the first Chinese woman to win a Nobel Prize, for her work in helping to create an anti-malaria[mə'lɛrɪə] medicine（抗疟疾的药）.

The students are not worth helping. They receive a good education and they should know when to pay back others kindness. They don’t need money; they need more moral lessons. Gratitude is a nice quality in human beings. Someone who doesn’t understand others’sacrifice（牺牲）and never appreciates（感谢）others’help does not deserve it. It’s human nature to seek approval for good deeds. Therefore the students should have said “thank you”as it would encourage other people to do good deeds.（改编自英文报纸）【词语注解】grateful adj.感谢的moral lessons思想品德课gratitude n. 感谢It’s human nature to seek approval for good deeds.做好事希望得到认可是人的天性8.单元话题：Languages保护方言的意义。
