写作项目——Write an argumentative essay on farming
本单元的写作项目为写一篇关于农业的辩论性文章，属于正反观点式议论文。正反观点式议论文是对某个议论对象从正反两个方面进行剖析、论证，从而否定错误观点，树立正确观点的文章。作者通过摆事实、讲道理、辨是非来确定其观点的正误，支持或否定某种主张，从而达到让读者信服或接受其观点或看法的目的。
|由教材学写作|
一、学写作架构
议论文的篇章结构如下：
二、学要点构思
议论文写作中比较常见的一种写作结构是“提出问题—分析问题—解决问题”。如本文从不同角度介绍和分析了两种耕作方式的优点和缺点，按照“Benefits — Problems — Solutions”的逻辑层次，客观地探讨了农作物生产的客观现状和解决问题的路径。在分析Chemical farming时，作者先指出了Benefits: fight crop disease and increase production，然后提出了Problems: sometimes harm both the land and people's health，最后给出了Solutions：switch to organic farming。
三、学写作手法
为使论证更具权威性，增加说服力，议论文的写作中常运用下列手法：
1．例证法：用典型事例作为论据来证明论点。如课文第二段采用大量例子说明长期使用化学农药会危害土地和人类健康。
2．对比法：增强论证的鲜明性，使读者清楚作者赞成什么，反对什么。如课文对比介绍了化学耕作与有机耕作各自的优缺点，使读者对此有所了解，进而形成自己的判断。
四、学逻辑衔接
议论文写作常常在段落间和句子间使用衔接词，使文章脉络更加清晰，逻辑关系更加明了。如本文运用了大量的衔接标识词，例如：表示转折的however, but；表示举例的for example, for instance；表示并列和递进的and, also；表示补充信息的in addition；用以引出不同信息的as for, as an alternative；用以引出原因和结论的because, therefore，等等。用这些标识词连接句子和段落，构成语篇，体现了文本较强的逻辑性和所说明内容的全面性。
(根据语境选用合适的衔接词填空：therefore, however, for example)
①He set down a series of rules that Chinese people have followed for centuries.______________________， a son has to respect his father.
②We do like red, for red stands for happiness and good fortune in our culture.__________， it is not surprising that you can see people wear red clothes and hang red lanterns during the Spring Festival.
③He was feeling bad. He went to work, ______________， and tried to concentrate.

Recently，our class had a heated discussion on whether scientists should clone human beings.Opinions are divided as follows.
Some students are in favour of it.They think cloning human beings provides a constant supply of stem cells to help repair damaged human tissues and organs.
However，others are against it because the cloned children would be under psychological pressure throughout their childhood.On the other hand，this may put scientists under great moral pressure.
As for me，I support it，but the government must pass laws to direct its development properly.
Ⅲ.读后续写(25分)
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
There was a farm not far from the coastline.It belonged to a man called Tom.Tom couldn't do everything by himself on the farm with so many cows，chickens and vegetables to take care of.Thus，he needed to employ one man to help him run the farm.However，
no one worked on his farm for long.Why？Because the work was too tiring.Since the farm was near the sea，there were often storms from the sea that struck his farm，especially the unroofed stock barn (露天牲口棚)．When a storm came，Tom and the man he hired had to get up quickly and try to reduce the losses caused by the storm.Therefore，no one liked working there.Tom had to look for people to work for him all the time.
One day，a man called Henry read the poster that Tom had put up and then came to his farm.
“Sir，I can work for you.” said Henry.
Tom looked at Henry.This young man was neither strong nor tall.
“Are you sure？” asked Tom.
“Yes，sir.I can do the work well.But you must pay me twice what you paid others before，” said that young man.
Tom was surprised.He didn't really believe such a man could do the work well.But it was really hard for him to find someone else to work for him.At last，he decided to give Henry a try.However，before hiring him，he said，“Can you really be a good helper？The work on the farm is hard and tiring.And there are often storms.”
Henry smiled and said，“Don't worry.I can be a good helper.You'll see.And storms won't be a problem.They won't even disturb our sleep.We can sleep very well even on stormy nights.”
And then Henry stayed on the farm.To Tom's joy，Henry worked hard and did his work well.It was obvious that he hadn't lied.
However，one night，there was a big storm.Tom was woken up by the strong wind.He was worried that the storm would cause great losses to his farm.And he saw his helper nowhere.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式作答。
Tom guessed Henry must still be sleeping. ____________________
____________________________________________________________
Tom thought he had employed the wrong man.__________________
____________________________________________________________
参考范文：
Tom guessed Henry must still be sleeping.So anxious was he that he knocked at the door of Henry's room violently.To Tom's surprise，Henry was still lying in his bed.It was extremely evident that Henry didn't realize how serious the situation was.Filled with anger，Tom shouted，“Get up! There is a big storm.We must work right now.” Calm and peaceful，Henry responded，“Sir，have you forgotten I told you that storms wouldn't disturb our sleep Why not just go back to sleep？” Hearing the words，a wide disappointment took hold of Tom.
Tom thought he had employed the wrong man.Feeling helpless，he rushed out to work on his own.Nevertheless，the instant he went outside，an unexpected scene came into his sight，all the roofs covered and all his chickens，horses and cows settled，without any loss.Tom was seized by a strong sense of relief，tears streaming down his cheeks.It was Henry that did all the work well in advance before the storm came.At this time，Tom realized he had hired the best man，a really good helper.
