第二节 开放作文（15分）
【参考范文】
What an interesting picture! A Western young man, sitting at a table, is ready to eat a bowl of noodles. He is holding two forks the same way as we Chinese hold chopsticks. He is trying so hard to pick up the noodles that he is sweating a lot. At first glance, I think it’s a bit funny, for we Chinese take for granted that chopsticks are the tools for eating noodles. The man in the picture is trying to copy us. Obviously he is doing it the hard way. Maybe using one fork will do a better job, In my opinion, we don’t need to copy others’ ways of thinking. Sometimes a simpler way of doing things may be a better way.
【解析】
本文是开放性作文，要求考生把握好图画内容，发散表达。考生重点要看出这个人是卷发高鼻的外国人，要体会到西式刀叉对中式食物的矛盾性。
【专家简评】
北京卷每年的第二篇作文（开放作文）一直都比较新颖，也能引人思考，问题是往往那个思考的关键点（文眼），学生未必能抓住或说未必能清楚地表达出来，尤其是要达到一语破的之妙，在高考那种氛围中，似乎不易。In my opinion,we don’t need to copy others’ ways of thinking. Sometimes a simpler way of doing things may be a better way. 这样的灵智多么需要现场的急智啊！如何让自己的思想收缩在几个简单的句子结构里面，这本身就是智慧。
北京卷的短文写作基本形成了自己的风格。近几年一直比较稳定。而2010年的北京随着课改的深入，高考应该会发生一些变化。
