In 1923, a big earthquake hit the city of Yokohama, a city in Japan. It happened at night when most people were sleeping. When the earthquake happened, it seemed that the world was at an end. Houses and tall buildings fell down. Water and electricity were cut off. There were fires and smoke everywhere. In a few seconds the whole city was almost destroyed and lay in ruins. The number of people who were killed reached more than 140,000. Besides, a large number of people were injured and lost their homes. It was one of the biggest earthquakes in history.

试题分析：考查提纲类书面表达的写作。要点都已经给出，根据要点写描述一下1923年发生在日本的地震的情况，要点包括地震的细节，具体内容提纲中都已经给出来了，写作时要把要点都包括进去，不要有遗漏，审题时注意本文使用的时态，运用合适的语法规则和词汇把各要点都准确表述出。难点在于选择词汇和句型，可以灵活运用省略句，倒装句和强调句型准确表述。如范文里面的When the earthquake happened, it seemed that the world was at an end 和In a few seconds the whole city was almost destroyed and lay in ruins.还有要用适当的关联词把文章串联起来：如besides等等。 点评：提纲类短文的关键在于要点要全面包括，不能有遗漏和省略。同时注意谋篇布局的顺序，词汇句型的选用，运用合适的连接词连接全文，同时选择高级的词汇和语法项目让文章更有文采。
