（2020年8月15日真题）
学生在主体部分回应个问题的时候写了如下一句话： External environment plays a decisive role in children’s growing, which may take the most responsibility for their crimes. 教师修改后的句子，如下： The external environment plays a decisive role in children’s growth, which is arguably the most important factor that either curtails or provokes the criminal gene. * 定冠词的缺失被补上了。 * “成长”这个概念有现成的名词growth。 * which引导的用来修饰growth的定语从句是这个句子提升的关键： 1）arguably the most important factor替代原来的简单粗暴的take the most responsibility； 2）either curtails or provokes the criminal genets替代原来的简单粗暴的crimes。其中，criminal genes——“犯罪的基因”是一个很有意思的表达，either ... or …——“要么…要么…”用来介绍两个可能的情况，是不是比直接认定犯罪显得更理性一点。同时curtail和provoke这两个词要学会。 ★ 小总结 ★ 词汇肯定是要升级。词汇的升级不仅仅在于类似“curtail”和“provoke”这样的词（直接的“难度词”），类似“criminal genes”这种时髦的、有表达风格的词汇也要积累。
