近年來各類英語考試越來越多，對考生的要求也越來越高，而英語寫作更是一種綜合性的題型，它不僅可以反應(yīng)考生對知識點(diǎn)的掌握情況，更可以展示出學(xué)生對語言的運(yùn)用能力。重要的是英語寫作往往占有較多的分值。所以如何寫出來一篇好的作文，如何突破自己的寫作瓶頸很是關(guān)鍵。在此，整理了一些優(yōu)秀的2019長沙中考英語高分作文萬能素材，以供參考和學(xué)習(xí)。
The Love of Beauty 愛美
The love of beauty is an essential part of all healthy human nature. It is a moral quality. The absence of it is not an assured ground of condemnation, but the presence of it is an invariable sign of goodness of heart. In proportion to the deGREe in which it is felt will probably be the deGREe in which nobleness and beauty of character will be attained.
Natural beauty is an all-pervading presence. The universe is its temple. It unfolds into the numberless flowers of spring. It waves in the branches of trees and the GREen blades of grass. It haunts the depths of the earth and the sea. It gleams from the hues of the shell and the precious stone. And not only these minute objects but the oceans, the mountains, the clouds, the stars, the rising and the setting sun---all overflow with beauty. This beauty is so precious, and so congenial to our tenderest and noblest feelings, that it is painful to think of the multitude of people living in the midst of it and yet remaining almost blind to it.
All persons should seek to become acquainted with the beauty in nature. There is not a worm we tread upon, nor a leaf that dances merrily as it falls before the autumn winds, but calls for our study and admiration. The power to appreciated beauty not merely increases our sources of happiness---it enlarges our moral nature, too. Beauty calms our restlessness and dispels our cares. Go into the fields or the woods, spend a summer day by the sea or the mountains, and all your little perplexities and anxieties will vanish. Listen to sweet music, and your foolish fears and petty jealousies will pass away. The beauty of the world helps us to seek and find the beauty of goodness.

愛美
愛美及是整個健全人性不可或缺之一部分。它是一種道德品質(zhì)。缺乏這種品質(zhì)并不能作為受到責(zé)難的充分理由，但是擁有這種品質(zhì)則是心靈美好的永恒標(biāo)志。品德的高尚與美好所達(dá)到的程度可能與對美的感受程度成正比。
大自然的美無處不在，整個宇宙就是美的殿堂。美，在春日百花中綻放；美，在綠葉嫩枝間搖曳；美，在深海幽谷里游弋；美，在奇石與貝殼的繽紛色彩中閃爍。不只是這些細(xì)微之物，還有海洋，山川，云彩，繁星，日升日落 – 一切都是洋溢著美。這樣的美是如此珍貴，與我們溫柔，高尚的情愫是如此相宜。然而，想到很多人置身于美之中，卻幾乎對它熟視無睹，真是令人痛心不已。
所有的人都應(yīng)該去認(rèn)識大自然之美。沒有一條我們踩過的小蟲，沒有一片在秋風(fēng)拂掠之際飛舞的樹葉不值得我們研究與贊賞。欣賞美的能力不僅增加了我們快樂的來源，也加強(qiáng)了我們德性的修養(yǎng)。美使我們不安的心平靜下來，也驅(qū)散了我們的憂慮。到田野或森林去，在夏日的海邊或山上呆上一天，那么你所有微不足道的困惑與焦慮都會煙消云散。傾聽悅耳的音樂，你那愚蠢的恐懼與狹隘的嫉妒都會過去。世界之美將有助于我們找到為善之美。
Mirror, Mirror--What do I see鏡子，鏡子，告訴我
A loving person lives in a loving world. A hostile person lives in a hostile world. Everyone you meet is your mirror.
Mirrors have a very particular function. They reflect the image in front of them. Just as a physical mirror serves as the vehicle to reflection, so do all of the people in our lives.
When we see something beautiful such as a flower garden, that garden serves as a reflection. In order to see the beauty in front of us, we must be able to see the beauty inside of ourselves. When we love someone, it’s a reflection of loving ourselves. When we love someone, it’s a reflection of loving ourselves. We have often heard things like “I love how I am when I’m with that person.” That simply translates into “I’m able to love me when I love that other person.” Oftentimes, when we meet someone new, we feel as though we “click”。 Sometimes it’s as if we’ve known each other for a long time. That feeling can come from sharing similarities.
Just as the “mirror” or other person can be a positive reflection, it is more likely that we’ll notice it when it has a negative connotation. For example, it’s easy to remember times when we have met someone we’re not particularly crazy about. We may have some criticism in our mind about the person. This is especially true when we get to know someone with whom we would rather spend less time.
Frequently, when we dislike qualities in other people, ironically, it’s usually the mirror that’s speaking to us.
I began questioning myself further each time I encountered someone that I didn’t particularly like. Each time, I asked myself, “What is it about that person that I don’t like?” and then “Is there something similar in me?” in every instance, I could see a piece of that quality in me, and sometimes I had to really get very introspective. So what did that mean?
It means that just as I can get annoyed or disturbed when I notice that aspect in someone else, I better reexamine my qualities and consider making some changes. Even if I’m not willing to make a drastic change, at least I consider how I might modify some of the things that I’m doing.
At times we meet someone new and feel distant, disconnected, or disgusted. Although we don’t want to believe it, and it’s not easy or desirable to look further, it can be a GREat learning lesson to figure out what part of the person is being reflected in you. It’s simply just another way to create more self-awareness.

鏡子，鏡子，告訴我
充滿愛意人的生活在充滿愛意的世界里，充滿敵意的人則生活在充滿敵意的世界里。你所遇到的每一個人都是你的鏡子。
鏡子里有一個非常獨(dú)特的功能，那就是映射出在其前面的影像。就像真正的鏡子具有反射功能一樣，我們生活中的所有人也都能映射出他人的影子。
當(dāng)我們看到美麗的事物時，例如一座花園，那這花園就起到了反射作用。為了發(fā)現(xiàn)我們面前美好的事物，我們必須能發(fā)現(xiàn)在自己內(nèi)在的美。我們愛某個人，也正是我們愛自己的表現(xiàn)。我們經(jīng)常聽到這樣的話：“當(dāng)我和那個人在一起的時候，我愛那時的自己?！边@句話也可以簡單地說成：“在我愛那個人的同時，我也能愛我自己?！庇袝r，我們遇見一個陌生人，感覺仿佛是一見如故，就好像我們已經(jīng)相識甚久。這種熟悉感可能來自于彼此身上的共同點(diǎn)。
就像“鏡子”或他人能映射出我們積極的一面一樣，我們更有可能注意到映射出自己消極方面的“鏡子”。例如，我們很容易就能記住我們碰到自己不太喜歡的人的時刻。我們可能在心里對那個人有些反感。當(dāng)我們認(rèn)識自己不喜歡與之相處的人時，這種情況就更為明顯。
具有諷刺意味著的是，通常當(dāng)我們討厭別人身上的某些特質(zhì)時，那就說明你其實(shí)討厭自己身上相類似的特質(zhì)。
每次，當(dāng)我遇到不太喜歡的人時，我就開始進(jìn)一步質(zhì)問自己。我會捫心自問：“我不喜歡那個人的哪些方面？”然后還會問：“我是不是有和他相似的地方？”每次，我都能在自己身上看到一些令我厭惡的特質(zhì)。我有時不得不深刻地反省自己。那這意味著什么呢？
這意味著，就像我會對其他人身上令我厭惡的特質(zhì)感到惱怒或不安一樣，我應(yīng)該更好地重新審視自己的特質(zhì)，并考慮做一些改變。即使我不想做大的改變，至少我會考慮該如何修正自己正在做的一些事情。
我們時常會遇到陌生人，并感到疏遠(yuǎn)或厭惡。盡管我們不想去相信，不容易也不想去深究，但是弄清楚別人的哪些特質(zhì)在自己身上有所體現(xiàn)是非常有意義的一課，這也正是增強(qiáng)自我意識的另一個途徑。
To Be or Not to Be 生存還是毀滅
Outside the Bible, these six words are the most famous in all the literature of the world. They were spoken by Hamlet when he was thinking aloud, and they are the most famous words in Shakespeare because Hamlet was speaking not only for himself but also for every thinking man and woman. To be or not to be, to live or not to live, to live richly and abundantly and eagerly, or to live dully and meanly and scarcely. A philosopher once wanted to know whether he was alive or not, which is a good question for everyone to put to himself occasionally. He answered it by saying: "I think, therefore am."
But the best definition of existence ever saw did another philosopher who said: "To be is to be in relations." If this true, then the more relations a living thing has, the more it is alive. To live abundantly means simply to increase the range and intensity of our relations. Unfortunately we are so constituted that we get to love our routine. But apart from our regular occupation how much are we alive? If you are interest-ed only in your regular occupation, you are alive only to that extent. So far as other things are concerned--poetry and prose, music, pictures, sports, unselfish friendships, politics, international affairs--you are dead.
Contrariwise, it is true that every time you acquire a new interest--even more, a new accomplishment--you increase your power of life. No one who is deeply interested in a large variety of subjects can remain unhappy; the real pessimist is the person who has lost interest.
Bacon said that a man dies as often as he loses a friend. But we gain new life by contACTs, new friends. What is supremely true of living objects is only less true of ideas, which are also alive. Where your thoughts are, there will your live be also. If your thoughts are confined only to your business, only to your physical welfare, only to the narrow circle of the town in which you live, then you live in a narrow cir-conscribed life. But if you are interested in what is going on in China, then you are living in China~ if you’re interested in the charACTers of a good novel, then you are living with those highly interesting people, if you listen intently to fine music, you are away from your immediate surroundings and living in a world of passion and imagination.
To be or not to be--to live intensely and richly, merely to exist, that depends on ourselves. Let widen and intensify our relations. While we live, let live!

生存還是毀滅
“生存還是毀滅?！比绻选妒ソ?jīng)》除外，這六個字便是整個世界文學(xué)中有名的六個字了。這六個字是哈姆雷特喃喃自語時說的，而這六個字也就成了莎士比亞作品中有名的幾個字了，因?yàn)檫@里哈姆雷特不僅道出了他自己的心聲，同時也代表了一切有思想的男男女女。是活還是不活——是要生活還是不要生活，是要生活得豐滿充實(shí)，興致勃勃，還是只是活得枯燥委瑣，貧乏無味。一位哲人曾想弄清他自己是否是在活著，這個問題我們每個人也大可不時地問問我們自己。這位哲學(xué)家對此的答案是： “我思故我在?！?BR> 但是關(guān)于生存我所見過的一條好的定義卻是另一位哲學(xué)家下的：“生活即是聯(lián)系。”如果這話不假的話，那么一個有生命者的聯(lián)系越多，它也就越有生氣。所謂要活得豐富充實(shí)也即是要擴(kuò)大和加強(qiáng)我們的各種聯(lián)系。不幸的是，我們往往會因?yàn)樘煨圆粔蜇S厚而容易陷入自己的陳規(guī)舊套。試問除去我們的日常工作，我們的真正生活又有多少？如果你只是對你的日常工作才有興趣，那你的生趣也就很有限了。至于在其它事物方面，比如詩歌、散文、音樂、美術(shù)、體育、無私的友誼、政治與國際事務(wù)，等等——你只是死人一個。
但反過來說，每當(dāng)你獲得一種新的興趣——甚至一項(xiàng)新的造詣——你就增長了你的生活本領(lǐng)。一個能對許許多多事物都深感興趣的人是不可能總不愉快的，真正的悲觀者只能是那些喪失興趣的人。
培根曾講過，一個人失去朋友即是死亡。但是憑著交往，憑著新朋，我們就能獲得再生。這條對于活人可謂千真萬確的道理在一定程度上也完全適用于人的思想，它們也都是活的。你的思想所在，你的生命便也在那里。如果你的思想不出你的業(yè)務(wù)范圍，不出你的物質(zhì)利益，不出你所在城鎮(zhèn)的狹隘圈子，那么你的一生便也只是多方受著局限的狹隘的一生。但是如果你對當(dāng)前中國那里所發(fā)生的種種感到興趣，那么你便可說也活在中國；如果你對一本佳妙小說中的人物感到興趣，你便是活在一批極有趣的人們中間；如果你能全神貫注地聽點(diǎn)好的音樂，你就會超脫出你的周圍環(huán)境而活在一個充滿激情與想象的神奇世界之中。
生存還是毀滅——活得熱烈活得豐富，還是只是簡單存在，這就全在我們自己。但愿我們都能不斷擴(kuò)展和增強(qiáng)我們的各種聯(lián)系。只要一天我們活著，就要一天是在活著。
