Answer 1

One possible version:

As a proverb goes, “Preparedness ensures success and unpreparedness spells failure”. It can’t be denied that good preparation is one of the essentials of success.

The first two years of my junior middle school life went so smoothly and I got so good grades in every exam that I took it for granted that I was sure to be admitted by a key high school. Thus，in my junior three, I began totally loosening myself up and no longer focused on study. It is no accident that my academic performance declined sharply. Not until the last month of my junior three did I realize it and concentrated on learning again. However, it was too late to make full preparation then— I failed in the senior high school entrance examination.

From my experience, I see that at no time should we ignore the importance of making good preparation, and that success belongs to those who can suffer long years of patient toil and constant efforts.

【解析】試題分析：考查開放性作文。開放性作文給出了一個話題，并有部分的文字提示。給考生自由發(fā)揮的余地較大。對于考生的綜合能力要求較高，要求考生有很強的謀篇布局的能力和組織要點的能力。在完成開放性作文時，首先要選擇自己熟悉的短語或者句型，在你的能力范圍之內(nèi)，選擇句式時要賦予變化，因為這樣你才可以更好的駕馭。同時也要選擇合適的連接詞，把各個要點組織成一個完整的整體。【亮點說明】范文用了一些常見短語：take it for granted視為當(dāng)然，be admitted by錄取，loosening myself up放松自己，focus on專注于，belong to屬于，還有范文中的句式也很出彩：As a proverb goes, “Preparedness ensures success and unpreparedness spells failure”.這句話用了非限制性定語從句，Not until the last month of my junior three did I realize it and concentrated on learning again.這句話用了倒裝句，and that success belongs to those who can suffer long years of patient toil and constant efforts. 這句話用了定語從句， However, it was too late to make full preparation then— I failed in the senior high school entrance examination.這句話用到了however表轉(zhuǎn)折語氣。
