審題立意
1. 導(dǎo)語(yǔ)解讀：要求考生根據(jù)漫畫(huà)內(nèi)容就“頭腦風(fēng)暴”這一話題進(jìn)行描述，并說(shuō)明如何充分利用頭腦風(fēng)暴。
2. 漫畫(huà)解讀：圖片上畫(huà)了一位男士和一位女士在聊天，男士頭發(fā)呈云狀，以突出主題“頭腦風(fēng)暴”。由下面注解文字可知，男士在向女士抱怨頭腦風(fēng)暴的利弊。正如抱怨的男士所言，頭腦風(fēng)暴有時(shí)候會(huì)起到集思廣益的作用，碰撞出很多思想火花，但在另外一些情況下，頭腦風(fēng)暴又會(huì)攪亂思緒，令所討論的問(wèn)題更加模糊不清。
3. 文章立意：頭腦風(fēng)暴是一種創(chuàng)意思維，只有合理利用，才能產(chǎn)生良好的效果。
寫(xiě)作思路
1. 第一段簡(jiǎn)要描述漫畫(huà)及注解文字，然后提出論點(diǎn)：只要條件合適，創(chuàng)造性思維就會(huì)得到發(fā)展、完善，從醞釀直至成熟。
2. 第二段分三個(gè)層次解釋說(shuō)明如何合理運(yùn)用頭腦風(fēng)暴。
3. 第三段重申主題，指明合理運(yùn)用頭腦風(fēng)暴對(duì)社會(huì)發(fā)展有益。
參考范文
As can be seen in the picture, a woman got confused by a man’s funny hairstyle, which looks like a mass of cloud and the caption under the picture says, “Some days you get a brainstorm, but other days you just get the clouds.” It conveys the message that collision of minds sometimes brings some really creative thinking, but sometimes leads the mind into total chaos. Despite its negative effect, brainstorming can generate fruitful results if applied properly. 1
Firstly 2 , brainstorming should be treated with correct attitude. Brainstorming is not something fantastic; it is in fact something interesting and meaningful. Furthermore 2 , brainstorming is not a thinking confined to one person. Just as an old saying goes, “Two heads are better than one”. 3 Collective force can strengthen the performance of a brainstorm. Besides 2 , brainstorm requires organizing, analyzing, investigating and selecting. Those practical ideas should be singled out to be delved into deeply until a good plan takes shape while those unpractical ideas should be excluded.
To sum up, if utilized appropriately, brainstorming can be beneficial to social development. 4
如圖所示，女士對(duì)男士看上去像一團(tuán)云的滑稽發(fā)型感到困惑。圖片下面的文字寫(xiě)道：“有些時(shí)候你收獲的是頭腦風(fēng)暴后產(chǎn)生的好主意，而有些時(shí)候頭腦風(fēng)暴卻使你云里霧里，不知所措?！边@幅圖傳達(dá)了這樣的信息：思想碰撞有時(shí)能帶來(lái)真正有創(chuàng)意的想法，而有的時(shí)候卻能讓人的思維陷入一片混亂。雖然有其負(fù)面效果，但如果妥善利用，頭腦風(fēng)暴就會(huì)產(chǎn)生富有成效的結(jié)果。
首先，應(yīng)該以正確的態(tài)度對(duì)待頭腦風(fēng)暴。頭腦風(fēng)暴不是異想天開(kāi)，事實(shí)上它是非常有趣、有意義的。此外，頭腦風(fēng)暴并不是局限于一個(gè)人的思維。正如一句俗話所說(shuō)：“三個(gè)臭皮匠賽過(guò)諸葛亮”，集體力量能增強(qiáng)頭腦風(fēng)暴的效果。而且，頭腦風(fēng)暴需要整理、分析、研究并篩選?？梢蕴暨x出那些實(shí)用性的想法，并深入探討直到計(jì)劃成形，而那些不具實(shí)用性的想法則應(yīng)剔除。
總之，如果合理運(yùn)用，頭腦風(fēng)暴對(duì)社會(huì)發(fā)展是有益的。
范文點(diǎn)評(píng)
1. 首段末句點(diǎn)出主題：只要合理利用，頭腦風(fēng)暴會(huì)產(chǎn)生好的結(jié)果。
2. 圍繞主題，分三個(gè)層次展開(kāi)論述，論證了自己的觀點(diǎn)。
3. 用一句俗語(yǔ)為例證，更具有說(shuō)服力。
4. 末句與首段尾句前后呼應(yīng)，起到了深化主題的作用。

句法點(diǎn)評(píng)
1. As can be seen in the picture, a woman got confused by a man’s funny hairstyle, which looks like a mass of cloud and the caption under the picture says, “Some days you get a brainstorm, but other days you just get the clouds.”
首句采用了as引導(dǎo)的非限制性定語(yǔ)從句，這是看圖作文的常用開(kāi)篇句式，類(lèi)似的表達(dá)方法還有：As is depicted in the picture...或As is shown/described in the picture...等。
2. It conveys the message that collision of minds sometimes brings some really creative thinking, but sometimes leads the mind into total chaos.
that引導(dǎo)同位語(yǔ)從句，說(shuō)明message的具體內(nèi)容。
