1、基础写作1-2题型探究 探究点一难句的表达下面我们来谈论一下基础写作的解题方法。基础写作的难点是难句的表达。每一道题目的中文内容都有一些与英文表达稍有差异甚至大相径庭的表达形式。【举例说明】假设你是李华, 请根据你校美化校园的规划, 用英语给你在美国的笔友Peter写一封信, 介绍该规划。信的主要内容如下:【写作要求】1应包含所给出的全部信息, 开头和结尾已经给出,但不计入总句数;2必须使用5个句子组成连贯的短文。Dear Peter,I would like to tell you that our school has worked out a new program. .Welcome
2、to our school if you have any chance.Yours,Li Hua【学生样本】Dear Peter,I would like to tell you that our school has worked out a new program.In order to make our school beautiful and clean the air, we plan to have more trees in our school now.In order to get good places to study and live, we have many pl
3、ans.First, we plan to build a botanical garden and let students visit and use.Second, we plan to build up a small garden for people to rest and study.At last, we plan to build some statues of famous people to effect students and teachers.Welcome to our school if you have any chance.Yours,Li Hua【评论点拨
4、】 我们来看看学生的样本有什么地方可以改进:第句:“In order to make our school beautiful and clean the air ”比较生硬, to make our school beautiful应该改为to make our school more beautiful;“we plan to have more trees in our school now”中的have改为plant会好些。第句:没有涉及表格内的内容, 是个废句, 而且还霸占了后面的信息的位置。第句:“First, we plan to build a botanical garden
5、 and let students visit and use.”中的画线部分没有表达出“供同学们参观、实践”的意思。第句:“Second, we plan to build up a small garden for people to rest and study.”中应删掉up, study后应该加上in。不过改为“Second, we plan to build a small garden in which we can take a rest and do some reading.”会好些。第句:“At last, we plan to build some statues of
6、 famous people to effect students and teachers.”中的effect应该改为encourage。另外,这篇文章的主语全部都是we, 虽然可以最大限度地减少英语表达方面的错误, 但是比较单调, 可能影响高分。不过, 我们只要变换句式, 例如改为被动语态等, 就可以达到很好的效果。【参考范文】Dear Peter,I would like to tell you that our school has worked out a new program.The purposes of the program are to make our school m
7、ore beautiful, to make the air cleaner and fresher, and to turn our school into a better place for us to study and live in. According to the program, we will plant different kinds of trees, flowers and grass in and around our school.A botanical garden will be built for us to visit and practice in. B
8、esides, we are to build a small garden in which we can do some reading and take a rest. Whats more, some statues of famous people will be set up to encourage us to work harder. Welcome to our school if you have any chance.Yours,Li Hua【注】 由于主语灵活变动, 使文章读起来摆脱了呆板, 行文有了生气。 探究点二句子的质量我们经常说某个句子地道, 就是因为这个句子体
9、现了英语民族的思维方式。在基础写作中,要经常使用这种地道的句子。【举例说明】比较以下句子:1Clinton had wanted to collect a heavy tax on the middle class.修改后:A heavy tax on the middle class was Clintons idea. 2The people who listen to the radio have a habit of getting up early, but those who watch TV usually go to bed late.修改后:Radio listeners a
10、re early birds, but TV viewers are usually night owls.3After the American farmers used the industrial methods into agriculture, they made great progress in agriculture.修改后: The use of industrial methods was the reason for Americas great progress in agriculture. 【评论点拨】第1句首先呈现信息的焦点“向中产阶级征收重税”, 然后才说“这是
11、克林顿想干的事情”。句子的was就是“曾经”的意思。第2句运用构词法与修辞手法。the people who listen to the radio被复合词radio listeners所代替, those who watch TV被复合词TV viewers所代替, 干脆利落。have a habit of getting up early读起来有点呆板, 使用修辞手法把早起的人比喻为early birds, 又把晚睡的人比喻为night owls, 这样读起来就会饶有趣味。 第3句运用名词化的技术。所谓名词化, 就是把英文的动词改为名词, 通过其他词来指示名词之间的关系。the Ameri
12、can farmers used the industrial methods into agriculture.是一个句子, 修改后变为名词短语 the use of industrial methods。句子they made great progress in agriculture变为名词短语Americas great progress in agriculture。前一个名词短语是原因, 后一个名词短语是结果, 中间用名词reason就说明了两个名词短语之间的关系。 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。A cancer-stricken Briti
