分析 本篇寫作題材是社會現象的兩種不同觀點．主題是關于"太空探索是否值得"這一話題的討論，這種文章一般層次比較清晰，四段：第一段為總述；第二段正方觀點及依據；第三段反方觀點及依據；第四段自己觀點．要注意的是1．在列舉雙方依據時要盡量使語言多樣化；2．自我觀點表達時要有正確的判斷，要有辯證的思維．一篇文章需要有正確的句子才能明了清晰的表達作者的意思．考生應明白高考書面表達題既不是漢譯英，也不是可任意發(fā)揮的作文．它要求的是將所規(guī)定的材料內容經整理后展開思維，考查運用所學英語知識準確地表達意思的能力．
【亮點說明】文中使用了非常好的短語和句子為文章增色不少，比如be worth doing，far away from，spend on，be used to，On the other hand，benefit from，enable sb．to do，on the other hand；還運用句型whether引導的賓語從句．并注意了句子的銜接如：firstly，secondly，such as，What's more，Also 等等．

點評 英語寫作是一項主觀性較強的測試題．它不僅考查學生的寫作基礎而且還考查學生在寫作過程中綜合運用語言的能力．在撰寫時要注意主謂語一致，時態(tài)呼應，用詞貼切等．要提高英語寫作水平，需要兩方面的訓練：一是語言基礎方面的訓練，要有扎實的造句、翻譯等基本功，即用詞法、句法等知識造出正確無誤的句子；二是寫作知識和能力 方面的訓練以掌握寫作方面的基本方法和技巧．
