　　我们在长辈的环绕下成长，自以为了解他们，其实每一位长辈都是一部厚书，一旦重新打开，就会读到人生的事理，读到传统的积淀，读到时代的印记，还可以读出我们自己，读出我们成长时他们的成长与成熟，读出我们和他们之间认知上的共识或分歧……

　　一不做二不休，我们再来看看国外小伙伴们高考作文都写些啥……

　　美国高考作文

　　SAT（Scholastic Assessment Test，学术能力评估测试）由美国大学委员会（College Board）主办，其成绩是世界各国高中生申请美国大学入学资格及奖学金的重要参考，它与ACT（American College Test）都被称为美国高考。

　　2016年以前，美国高考SAT的作文题一般都长这样：

　　Essay prompt

　　作文提示

　　Most people believe that individuals should be judged strictly by their actions. If their actions have negative results, it does not matter whether they meant to do good. Other people, however, believe that individuals with good intentions should not be judged as harshly as those who deliberately intend to do something bad. After all, motivations should be taken into account when people's actions are being judged.

　　很多人认为，我们应当严格按照一个人的行为来评判这个人。如果他的行为产生了负面结果，无论其本意好坏都无济于事。但另一些人则认为，如果一个人初衷是好的，就不应当受到和有意作恶者一样的严厉对待。毕竟，评判人的行为，需要考虑其动机。

　　Assignment

　　要求

　　Do good intentions matter, or should people be judged only according to the results of their actions? Plan and write an essay in which you develop your point of view on this issue. Support your position with reasoning and examples taken from your reading, studies, experience, or observations.

　　你觉得好的初衷重要吗，还是说我们只应通过人的行为结果来评判一个人？构思并撰写一篇作文，就这一话题阐述自己的观点。利用论证和你在阅读、研究、经历或观察中发现的事例来支持你的观点。

　　2016年，SAT进行改革，分为阅读、文法和数学三部分，写作改为选考。

　　新的作文题改成针对一段较长的阅读材料——通常摘自学术文章、文学作品、议论文或演讲，分析作者是如何用论据、论证来支持论点的。

　　我们来看一道真题，感受下这巨大的阅读压力……

　　Passage

　　阅读材料

　　Paragraph 1

　　Aerospace remains a strong component of our national fabric and is the largest positive contributor to our nation’s trade balance. However, this technological leadership position is not a given. To remain the leader in aerospace technology, we must continue to perform research and invest in the people who will create the breakthroughs of tomorrow, preserving a critical component of our nation’s economic competitiveness for future generations.

　　Paragraph 2

　　For NASA,1 past cutting edge technology investments led to design and flight of the Apollo missions, the space shuttle, the International Space Station and a myriad of robotic explorers that allowed us to reach destinations across our solar system and peer across the universe. NASA remains one of the nation’s premiere research and development agencies, pursuing breakthrough technologies that will expand the frontiers of aeronautics and space.

　　Paragraph 3

　　Unfortunately, the pioneering spirit embodied by this storied agency is endangered as a result of chronic underinvestment in basic and applied research. In a recent report on the state of NASA’s technology plans, the National Research Council offered a stark assessment: “Success in executing future NASA space missions will depend on advanced technology developments that should already be underway. However, it has been years since NASA has had a vigorous, broad based program in advanced space technology. NASA’s technology base is largely depleted. Currently, available technology is insufficient to accomplish many intended space missions. Future U.S. leadership in space requires a foundation of sustained technology advances.”

　　Paragraph 4

　　America is beginning an exciting new chapter in human space exploration. This chapter centers on full use of the International Space Station, maturation of multiple American vehicles for delivering astronauts and cargo to low Earth orbit, development of a crew vehicle and an evolvable heavy lift rocket—two critical building blocks for our nation’s deep space exploration future—and advancement of a suite of new in space technologies that will allow us to send explorers safely into deep space for the first time.

　　Paragraph 5

　　By investing in the high payoff, transformative technology that the aerospace industry cannot tackle today, NASA will mature the systems required for its future missions while proving the capabilities and lowering the cost of other government agency and commercial space activities. Developing these solutions will create high tech jobs.

　　Paragraph 6

　　NASA’s technology investments continue to make a difference in the world around us. Knowledge provided by weather and navigational spacecraft, efficiency improvements in both ground and air transportation, super computers, solar and wind generated energy, the cameras found in many of today’s cellphones, improved biomedical applications including advanced medical imaging and more nutritious infant formula, and the protective gear that keeps our military, firefighters and police safe, have all benefitted from our nation’s investments in aerospace technology.

　　Paragraph 7

　　For many of the tens of thousands of engineering and science students in our nation’s universities today, the space program provides the opportunity to invent technologies today that will form the foundation for humanity’s next great leap across the solar system. For this new generation of engineers and scientists, and for those working across NASA at this moment, the future starts today. Modest, sustained federal investment in space technology, at a funding level approaching 5 percent of NASA’s budget (well below the R & D 2 budget of many corporations), is the key ingredient to their success. A NASA that is reaching for grand challenges and operating at the cutting edge is critical not only for our country’s future in space but also for America’s technological leadership position in the world.

　　Paragraph 8

　　Nearly 50 years ago, a young president gave NASA a grand challenge—one chosen not for its simplicity, but for its audacity, not for its ultimate goal or destination, but to “organize and measure the best of our energies and skills.” In accomplishing that goal, NASA not only defined what we now call “rocket science,” but also made a lasting imprint on the economic, national security and geopolitical landscape of the time.

　　Paragraph 9

　　NASA can do the same today. This is the task for which this agency was built. This is the task this agency can complete. America expects no less.

　　Prompt

　　提示

　　Write an essay in which you explain how Bobby Braun builds an argument to persuade his audience that the US government must continue to invest in NASA. In your essay, analyze how Braun uses one or more of the features listed in the prompt instructions (or features of your own choice) to strengthen the logic and persuasiveness of his argument. Be sure that your analysis focuses on the most relevant features of the passage.

　　请写一篇作文，解释鲍比·布劳恩如何构建论述，说服听众同意美国政府必须继续资助NASA。请在文章中分析布劳恩如何运用提示说明中列出的一种或几种特点（或你自选的特点），来加强论述逻辑和说服力。请确保你的分析是针对文章最相关的特点。

　　Your essay should not explain whether you agree with Braun’s claims, but rather explain how Braun builds an argument to persuade his audience.

　　勿在文中解释你是否认可布劳恩的观点，而应解释布劳恩如何构建论述说服听众。

　　中国作文VS美国作文

　　国内对于写作有一个偏见，那就是将辞藻华丽等同于文笔好，将文笔好等同于好文章。

　　而进入到美国大学，我们首先要做的就是去除这些雕饰，回归写作本质：让读者明白自己说什么。

　　“当我拿到一篇文章，几乎能一眼判断出，这篇文章是出自中国学生之手，还是美国学生之手。”Emily说。她有两年教导中国学生的经验，对那些中国学生的写作“套路”，已经了然于心。

　　Emily是土生土长的美国人，本科毕业于达特茅斯学院，硕士毕业于耶鲁大学，目前在耶鲁攻读博士学位。与此同时，她还有另一个身份：在耶鲁教授本科生写作课，尤其是大一新生的学术写作入门。

　　在Emily看来，中国学生很爱用长句，喜欢用各种复杂的术语来重复同一种意思，喜欢诗意的、华丽的辞藻和句子，但美式写作则会认为以上都是一种干扰，是在用“非常华丽的辞藻来干扰你的读者，使他们不能抓住文章的中心，所以我花了很多时间让我的学生，把那些所谓华丽的句子，全都删去，使得他们句子中最基本、最清晰的元素，立即可见”。

　　“说明性”是美国大学教育中定义学术写作的一个要义。其实任何写作都应该具备这样的功能，无论写作还是演讲，目的应该是让别人“懂”——理解作者或讲述者要表达的意思，而中国学生有时引以为傲的写作，很多时候并不介意让别人“看不懂”。

　　这是中国学生在写作上直接可见的一个问题，也是在形式上跟美国写作要求不相兼容的一个问题。但在这些行文风格背后，还有更严重的能力缺乏，那就是学习能力和思维方式。

　　正如那个SAT高分录取，最后却被美国大学劝退的学生所说，这些写作上的“不兼容”，最终会给美国大学留下“学习能力”不足的印象：因为中国学生不能把文本材料有逻辑地分解成一篇有观点的文章，并且让别人也能看懂——这中间，教授想看到的是学生的分析能力，而不是某个出其不意、又缺乏论证的观点。

　　难怪会有这样一篇切身体会：留学生在美国：最难的莫过于用英文写作！

　　怎么样？看完美国高考作文题目，今天高考的宝宝们心里是不是瞬间平衡了许多~~~
