26、确地表达出图表的含义与内容,并得出令人信服的结论。1审读图表前的文字说明,弄清图表性质,做到“四确定”。首先,确定文章体裁;其次,确定文章的结构;再次,确定文章的时态,动词是句子的核心,时态是句子的灵魂;最后,确定文章的人称。高考书面表达评分说明中曾要求“凡不以第一人称口吻表达者,从原得分中扣除7分”,由此可见人称错误很有可能满盘皆输。2审读图表后的要求,寻找做题规律,要注意以下几个方面:(1)词数:左右。(2)开头或结尾已给出。这就要求考生首先不能另行开头或结尾;其次,要细读所给语句的人称、时态和语言表达风格与口吻,力求前后一致。(3)内容完整,即要点齐全。图表中的内容要注意详略得当和准确全
27、面。(4)行文连贯。行文时要必须做到形连和意连。形连要力求特色词汇的使用,以增加得分“亮点”。意连要求能涵盖高考书面表达各种文体常用的几个特色词和短语,如:however;besides;instead;in the meanwhile;for instance;on the contrary;worse still;in conclusion;all of a sudden;as a matter of fact等,只有这样才能写出好文章。(5)注意句式的变化,力求在语言表达正确的基础上追求句式变换,确保语言表达的高级性。常见写作技巧主要包括:简单句与复合句的交错使用;主动语态为主,适度穿插
28、被动语态;大胆使用平行结构;适当调整句中定语、状语的位置,使句子表达多样化;三大从句与三种非谓语动词灵活互换;特殊句式(如强调句、感叹句、疑问句、省略句)点缀其间等。 总之,图表作文写作要坚持“慢审快写”的原则,必须牢记:审读提示,弄清结构与体裁,时态、人称要得当,开头、结尾要呼应;再读图表,句子结构要搭配语言习惯。【典型句式】1首段常用句式:I made a survey of.In order to work out/find out.I made a survey.Recently,a survey has been done about./Recently,weve conducted
