審題立意
1. 導(dǎo)語(yǔ)解讀：要求考生從評(píng)論“不入虎穴，焉得虎子”入手，就冒險(xiǎn)這一話題展開論述。
2. 文章立意：作為年輕人，應(yīng)該朝氣蓬勃，勇猛果敢而不是怯懦退縮，勇于冒險(xiǎn)而不是貪圖安逸。作為大學(xué)生，要敢于嘗試并挑戰(zhàn)新鮮事物，參與冒險(xiǎn)活動(dòng)。
寫作思路
1. 第一段簡(jiǎn)要描述引語(yǔ)，然后提出論點(diǎn)：如果沒有冒險(xiǎn)精神，一輩子就會(huì)一事無成。
2. 第二段通過舉例的方式闡述參與冒險(xiǎn)活動(dòng)的好處：培養(yǎng)人們的勇氣和意志力等。
3. 第三段呼應(yīng)前文，再次強(qiáng)調(diào)培養(yǎng)冒險(xiǎn)精神的重要性。
參考范文
A famous saying goes like this: “Nothing ventured, nothing gained”, which means we can gain nothing if we venture nothing. It shows that the adventurous spirit is an essential quality for people to achieve success. A person who never takes any risk or tries new things will never make any progress. 1
Nowadays, there are more and more adventures like bungee jumping and rock climbing, which enjoy great popularity especially among the youth. 2 Some people argue that such activities are too risky so they never venture to try, while 3 others insist that these activities do more good than harm and should be encouraged. As for me, I agree with the latter. In my opinion 4 , people can develop courage and willpower by embarking on adventures. If a person is afraid of risks or new things, he will never experience the joy of life or make any progress. If the leaders of a country are fearful of taking risks, the country will cease to advance.
In conclusion 5 , adventures bring us many rewarding benefits. As long as we take everything into consideration and make full preparation before taking risks, we can minimize the dangers and maximize the benefits.
有一句名言是這樣說的：“不入虎穴，焉得虎子”，意思是說，沒有冒險(xiǎn)就沒有收獲。這表明冒險(xiǎn)精神是人們獲得成功的必備品質(zhì)。一個(gè)從不敢承擔(dān)風(fēng)險(xiǎn)或嘗試新事物的人永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)有任何進(jìn)步。
如今，越來越多的冒險(xiǎn)活動(dòng)尤其受年輕人的歡迎，比如蹦極和攀巖。有些人認(rèn)為這些活動(dòng)風(fēng)險(xiǎn)太大，因而從不愿意嘗試，而另一些人則堅(jiān)持認(rèn)為這種活動(dòng)利大于弊，應(yīng)該鼓勵(lì)。就我而言，我贊同后者。在我看來，人們可以通過參加冒險(xiǎn)活動(dòng)鍛煉勇氣和毅力。一個(gè)害怕冒險(xiǎn)或嘗試新事物的人永遠(yuǎn)體會(huì)不到生活的樂趣，也永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)取得任何進(jìn)步。如果一個(gè)國(guó)家的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人害怕冒險(xiǎn)，這個(gè)國(guó)家也只會(huì)止步不前。
總之，冒險(xiǎn)活動(dòng)會(huì)帶給我們很多好處。只要我們?cè)诿看蚊半U(xiǎn)前有全方位的考量并做好充分準(zhǔn)備，就一定能將危險(xiǎn)降至最低，并得到最大收獲。
范文點(diǎn)評(píng)
1. 開篇簡(jiǎn)要說明諺語(yǔ)的含義及寓意。
2. 自然過渡，說明當(dāng)今社會(huì)不乏冒險(xiǎn)活動(dòng)，并指出很多年輕人很喜歡這些冒險(xiǎn)。
3. 采用對(duì)比論證的方法，引出人們對(duì)冒險(xiǎn)的不同看法，緊扣作文話題。
4. 第二段后半部分明確表達(dá)自己的觀點(diǎn)：參加冒險(xiǎn)活動(dòng)利大于弊。
5. 末段總結(jié)全文，重申觀點(diǎn)，并指出我們應(yīng)對(duì)冒險(xiǎn)做好充分的準(zhǔn)備。

句法點(diǎn)評(píng)
1. Some people argue that such activities are too risky so they never venture to try, while others insist that these activities do more good than harm and should be encouraged.
這是一個(gè)復(fù)合句。while在句中作并列連詞用，意思為“而，然而”，表對(duì)比，相當(dāng)于but，但含有對(duì)比的意思。
2. As long as we take everything into consideration and make full preparation before taking risks, we can minimize the dangers and maximize the benefits.
