relatives.We had a big dinner on the New Year’s Eve.There were about thirty people had the dinner together.It was really great.After dinner, we enjoyed the Spring Festival Gala Evening.On the New Year’s Day, we gathered together to play games or cards.We children got lucky money from adults.This was the most exciting thing for us.On the following days, we visited to each other, bringing our best wishes.My hero In my opinion,my hero is Arthur Pendragon.He is the king of ancient Britain.And he is a leader of the Knight of the Round Table.He lived in a farm when he was young.At that time,magician Merlin advised to choose a new king who can pulls out the caliburn.Nobody can pulls out it without Arthur.So he became the new king of Britain.He worked very hard and administered this country very well.So he was loved by people.Besides,he created the Knight of the Round Table which can protect Britain.There are lots of famous worriors in it.Arthur led them to defence enemies’ attack and unified the whole island of Britain.He devated his whole life to the country and the people,so I think he is my hero.King Arthur was dead,but British people believe the spirit of his will be continued.My Favourite Museum My favourite museum is Capital Museum.I like it because I’m
interested in Chinese history and culture.This museum also has some rules like othes,such as don’t shout and don’t run.I think it’s good because it can help visitors to hear the speakers clearly.If you want to know the knowledge of the Chinese history and culture, this is a right place for you.I like to visit the rooms on the second and third floors.I can learn about communications and the environment of ancient people.I can find out how people make tools with stones, and use it to hunt animals or cook food.It’s very interesting.I think the fourth floor is my favourite one,because there are lots of brones and ancient weapons.Many of them from the Warring States period or the Qin Dynasty.I can learn about how the Qin Dynasty unfied China.This knowledge is very useful and valuable.This museum is interestingfir people of all ages.You can find some history which you’re interested in.If you are in Beijing, make sure you visit the museum.This is ma favourite museum!
My Favourite Invention With the development of advanced science and technology, more and more modern inventions have appeared.Of all of them, I like mobile phone best.I think it is the most amazing invention in the 21st century.Mobile phone is small and light.It can make us call people wherever we are.What’s more, people can use it to read books, surf the Internet , play
the games and so on..Meanwhile, people don’t need to worry about forgetting something important because of the mobile phone.Nowadays, more and more people afford to buy mobile phones.It’s hard to imagine the life without mobile phones.My Favourite Sport I am an active boy,and I like doing sports very much.My favourite sport is swimming.I often go to swim with my good friends.They likes swimming ,too.And they are very good at it.They always swims better than me.When I am swimming in the pool, I am very happy.I look like a lovely fish in the pond.I enjoy swimming, because swimming can make me strong and healthy.It can also bring me a lot of happiness.Of course, I like watching this sport.I hope I will become a swimmer in the future.My Favourite Book One of my favourite books is the Notes of Yueweicaitang,by Xiaolan Ji,a famous secretary in Qing Dynasty.The story is set in the Qing Dynasty and tells us the story of the monster in China.It has about 1 hundred stories to tells the wonderful world,and there are many strange monsters and all kinds of people inside.The purpose of this book is to encourage good people and punish the wicked.My favourite part is about a businessman.After he becomes a rich businessman,he refuses to help an old man who has lived with him for ten years and finances his business.He is really ungrateful.And later,his
money was taken by away by a warlock named Yang and returns to the old man.That means evil will be recompensed with evil.And another story is about a woman.It writes about rural young woman Li Jie walks the night road,and meet a bad man who follows her.At the critical moment,her wit and calmness help her.She quickly hides in the grave and decisive market behind.She takes off formal dress and ornaments,mess up her hair and spits her tongue.She pretends to be a female ghost,and frightens the bad man to escape away.This story is for the readers today to set up the inspiration and encourage us to defeat the evil.This book is written with ancient Chinecse language.It eflects the decadence and darkness of the end of the feudal society.It’s very meaningful and I like reading it very much.My Problem Hello,teacher, I have some problems about my homework.My parents want to make me study better so they ask me to join lots of extra lessons, I feel very busy.Beisdes, I also have ro join in achool activities, it takes me lots of time so that I don’t have enough time to have lessons at school.One day, teacher asked us to do a lot of homework,and I have to join in school activities after class.When I finished it, it was too late, so I didn’t do my homework.I felt very tired and asleep.I feel terrible because I haven’t
finish my homework still now.But I don’t want to give up the school activities……So,what should I do? How can I make both my homework and activities well?
Environment
Everybody knows waste paper and used coke cans are discarded everywhere.You might have seen plastic bags flying in the sky and getting caught in the trees when the wind blows or maybe you have seen old cans floating in the rivers and polluting the water.Our environment is the place in which we live,but it is being ruined by us.There is a story about house and trees.It is said that a man's house was surrounded by a lot of trees.Though the wind was strong,the man could have a good rest under the trees.How comfortable the life was.One day,the man wanted to enlarge his house,so he cut down all the trees.Then the autumn came without the protection.the strong wind blew the roof of the house into the sky.The house was gone with the wind.What a pity!But that is the price people have to pay for destroying in the ecology balance.People shouldn't be short-sighted,Protecting the environment is everyone's task.As you know,there are four kinds of pollution.They are air pollution,water pollution,waste pollution and noise pollution.But what can we do to solve the pollution?I think,firstly,we can make cars that don't pollute the environment.We can ask companies to use modern clean
technology.In some big cities,we can limit the number of cars.Secondly,we can try to use less water and make sure that we don't pollute the water.We can tell factories that they are not allowed to pour waste water into the lakes and rivers.Thirdly,we shouldn't throw rubbish in parks and cities.We can pick up rubbish if we see it.We can put more rubbish bins in parks and cities.Fourthly,we can live far away from the noise and make the laws to limit the noise.In order to make our environment clean,let's join our hands together to make the world better.A Beautiful Place Century Park in Shanghai is a beautiful place.In different season, it is always beautiful.In spring, the leaves are green.The wind blows.The leaves shake and shake.In autumn, the leaves are yellow.The leaves fall when the weather is cold.If it is a sunny day, you also can have a picnic in the park.You can sit on the grass.The grass is soft.The flowers are colorful and nice.The lake is so clean that it looks like a mirror.You can see a blue sky with white cute cloud in the lake.They look like a beautiful picture.The air is also good.Century Park is a very beautiful place.You’d better visit it.

中考押题作文1
一触记忆，你就布满每个角落。似水年华中，你拉着我的手，我们一起走过。两年前，多幸运，让我遇见你。
两年前的我，猝不及防的被丢就进了初中的门槛，满心惊惶。也正是因为这样吧，才促成了咱们的相遇相知。那个秋日的黄昏，夕阳暖暖的笼着我，一如你带给我的我的亲切温柔。我趴在你怀里痛哭，哭诉着初中生活的不如意。你拍着我的背，笃定地看着我：“我相信你一定可以。”那一刻，我就在想：遇见你，可真是幸运啊。
后来，我们就成了无话不谈的朋友。两年来，我已习惯向你倾诉，心中的烦恼琐事，我总是一股脑的倒给你。或在教室，或在走廊，或在办公室，或在宿舍，无论在哪，你都能给我最中肯的建议、最贴心的安慰;语气或温柔、或严厉、或幽默、或振奋，可无论是哪一种，都是你掏心窝的话，都是最暖我心的话!无数次的心灵鸡汤，一直都是我心中最珍贵的存在。那些日日夜夜，我就在想：遇见你，我到底是多幸运啊!
还记得那个期中复习吗?那几天，你的嗓子难受极了，每说一个字，都牵动一阵难忍的疼痛。我们都劝你别讲了，可你笑着摆手拒绝了。沙哑的声音回荡在教室里，我们听在耳里，疼在心里。那声声低沉喑哑的嗓音，在我听来，却是最悦耳最动听的。那段本应是繁重忙碌的日子，现在忆来，却满满的只剩下感动。遇见这样优秀的你，我怎能说不幸运呢?
佛说：“前世的五百次回眸，才换来今世的一次擦身而过。”茫茫人海中，多么的幸运，让我遇见了你。
“长相思兮长相忆，短相思兮无穷极。早知如此绊人心，何如当初莫相识!”如今已是分别，放心吧，我会带着你教给我的，继续走下去。就让我再为你道上一句：“辛苦了，我最亲最亲的你。遇见你，我真的好幸运……”
中考押题作文2
体育中考完毕，，也荣幸好好地参观考察了一下职校。
碰触职业学校的第一件事竟然见到教师争执：一位送考的初三教务主任想把车开进职业学校校区停车，可一到学校门口就被保安老师傅阻拦。学校门口涌向了待考的学员，车之前车子挤得密不透风，一位教师往前希望帮助这名开车的教师，因而和保安老师傅吵了起来，任凭他多大嗓门，保安老师傅从始至终不能。过后要我惊讶，一个门卫师傅这般爱岗敬业。走入整洁的校园内，第一觉得便是空气，学生规定。每过一段都是有一批职校生协助清除待考学生丢掉的废弃物。服装工作服装的学员接待员热情得给待考的学员各式各样帮助。待考区还有一个职校生自身开设的医疗站。许多关键点，无时无刻不表露着这一院校标准，干净整洁的一面。我不懂：职校的生源是二中，三中的学生占多数，这批学生习惯养成，学习态度在中学环节都很差，这一点我深有感触，可为什么来到职校，这批在我眼中是歪瓜劣枣的学生如何就一下变好啦呢?
中午我返回课室，带著疑惑和一些老师沟通交流。我与老师都会赞扬职校的管理制度。自身静下心来细心想一想：初中教育和高等职业教育的总体目标不一样，大家老师是务必让学生升学，而职校沒有升学的工作压力，学生能够个性化发展趋势。也就是说，在职校的小孩，每一个人都找到信心和自身前行的方位。学生自身本质造成了驱动力，那麼孩子成长一定是顺向的发展趋势。和公司办公室老师在沟通交流的全过程中，老师们嘴中说得数最多的就这样的事例：中学太差的学生，来到职校以后都是有了非常好的发展趋势，有的考入了高校，有的自身设立了企业，也有的出国留学数不胜数，举不胜举。
在这里，希望父母在看待小孩中考成绩的难题上应开朗和积极主动，小孩的运势并不是一次考試决策，以后的路对小朋友们还很精彩纷呈和颇具挑戰。老师和父母应给孩子大量的激励，无论結果怎样，大家始终是最棒的!

是你，那便是你。
你古旧长袍曳了地，你一脸寞色却灵魂淋漓，你跌跌撞撞全然不顾风雨，你向我走来，懊悔落魄披在你的躯体。
我幸运地看到了你，亦看到你满目的“败红衰翠”。
你是风流的.北宋才子，桀骜不驯，放荡不羁，他人称你柳永，我只唤你柳七，那年才高气傲的你惹恼了仁宗，摇身于纸上的“柳三变”，为风尘女子写词以获衣食，最终潦草死于一代名妓之家，曾与你一同吟词和曲的玉英将你安葬，你便永久归去。
后人提笔描绘那是，“半城缟素，一片哀声。”
一日，我幸运地看到了你，我轻吟那油墨印出的小小字体。“仙娥画舸，露渍红芳交乱，难分花与面。”
我徜徉于你的词作，瞥得你的愁，你情愫偏执，误了功名，便永无止境地沦落，终“无语凝噎”，你感叹“便纵有千种风情，更与谁人说。”
“隐隐棹歌，渐被蒹葭遮断，曲终人不见。”
你使我念起唐朝诗人鱼玄机，不知怎的，总觉你与她有相通之处，不知垂危的你是否怨怼，这荏苒一生若并非此般虚度。若有重来，可否让你如少年时宏大梦想般泰然走过。
你于我无尽的感慨，这深重的震撼是成容若亦不曾给予的，你是我眼中隐晦逼仄的神话，甚至于信仰，我时常庆幸，我没有你的满腹才情，没有你的桀骜不驯，仍旧是一个不谙世事的孩子，能以仰望的姿态忖度的心理去贴近你，同时继续平凡下去。
纵然你生无所依，却永不至死不足惜。
你将成为我内心一本长久搁置的书籍，我熟知其中的字眼，浣洗灵魂的孤傲与空寂。
多么幸运，在那烟雨朦胧的北宋雨季，我偶然一瞥，遇见了你。
