浅谈高考英语写作中的高级表达

1、浅谈高考英语写作中的高级表达2007年起，广东高考英语科试题结构和分值都发生了很大变化。其中，书面表达部分的变化最引人注目。不仅分值由原来的25分增加到40分，而且由原来的一题变为“基础写作”和“读写任务”两部分。这样对考生的写作能力要求就大大提高了。那么，如何突破写作，获得高分，成为广大师生关注的问题。本文就写作中如何运用高级表达提出以下几点供广大师生参考。1.使用复合句复合句可以把结构松散的句子连接起来，从而使表达显得高级。高考写作中用到的复合句包括下列几种：(1) 定语从句Mary is a girl in Class 1. She speaks English very fluentl

2、y. Mary is a girl in Class1, who speaks English very fluently.(2) 状语从句The doctor arrived there in time. The boy was saved. It was not too late. The boy was saved because the doctor arrived there before it was too late.(3) 名词性从句(包括主语从句、表语从句、宾语从句和同位语从句)Xiao Ming was always late for school. His teacher

3、 didnt know why. His teacher didnt know why Xiao Ming was always late for school.如果考生驾驭句子的能力较强，则还可以恰当使用复杂的复合句（就是从句中还包含从句）。例如：I want to know whether you want to meet Miss Tang when she comes back from Japan, where she works as an engineer. (本句包含3个从句)2.使用某些惯用句型写作中如果能恰当运用英语中某些常见的惯用句型，可以使文章显得富有“洋味”。考生可以

4、参考本人归纳的“中学英语常见重要句型”(50个)。3.使用高级词汇一、巧用习语(idiom)英语中有大量习语，如果运用得当，则可大大增加文章的感染力。考生要在平时的学习过程中不断积累。例如： What she explained doesnt hold water. 她的解释站不住脚。 Many families struggle to make ends meet. 很多家庭只能勉强维持生计。 I dont know why she is always in low spirits. 我不知道她为什么总是情绪低落。 He turned a deaf ear to what I said. 他

5、对我的话一点也听不进去。 This sentence doesnt make sense. 这个句子讲不通。二、用短语代替单词英语中同义词众多，在表达的时候，尽量用短语代替单个的词。例如： I have made up my mind to study English better this term. (同义词：decide) I have no idea how to enlarge my vocabulary. (同义词：dont know) A burning cigarette end resulted in/led to the big fire. (同义词：cause) Sinc

6、e my childhood I have been fond of music. (同义词：like) We will take the matter into account(consideration). (同义词：consider)三、善用小词在写作中巧用、活用某些小词，常常会起到画龙点睛、四两拨千斤的作用。(1) 动词：see, find , have, take, get, strike, run, cover, fail, go, make, manage, keep, stay, do(行，可以), help(有用), work(起作用), count, etc. 例如： 20

7、05 saw the successful launch of Shenzhou VI in China. China has a history of more than 5,000 years. Saddam Hussin got hanged on the 30th of December, 2006. How does Shenzhen strike you? I have to earn more than 6,000 yuan if I want to cover my expenses in Shenzhen. When I received the news that I go

8、t the first place, words failed me. This is how the story goes. After a few years training, she made an excellent teacher. Marys mother asked her to seize time to go over her lessons for the final exam, but it didnt help. It is the ability to do the job well that counts.(2) 名词、形容词、副词、介词等：a must, a h

9、it, a success, a better/best choice/seller, arrival, stay, top, new, pretty(相当地), terribly, badly, in(时尚的), out(过时的)，beyond, under, on display/on second thought(s), at the news of/at the sight of, etc. 例如： English is a must for us. Of all the 2006 films Zhang Yimous Curse of the Golden Flower(满城尽带黄金

10、甲) was the best seller. I made lots of friends during my stay in France. Wendy Wang must be one of the top students in our school. This kind of work is quite new to me.

11、 His lecture is beyond my understanding. Shenzhen Metro Line 3 is still under construction. On my arrival I found the front door was open.

12、ng near the airport may lead to peoples loss of hearing. No one can enter the office without permission. The railway line is still under construction.5使用形容词（短语）做状语或者使用非谓语动词结构等 They returned home, safe and sound. Full of fear, I walked in the darkness. While walking along the streets I met Jane. We s

13、tarted out very early in order to catch the first early bus. I arrived home, really exhausted.6 使用表示过渡的连接词(详见“英语写作常见过渡词汇汇编”)高考“基础写作”的评分标准中特别强调句子间的连贯性。之所以把衔接和连贯作为重要标准来要求，是因为衔接和连贯是构成语篇的最基本条件。常用的连接词有：and, but, so, besides, morever, whats more, whats worse, in addition, however, therefore, suddenly, fin

14、ally, while, also, too, thus, yet等等。例如： He thought he understood the problem; however, he was mistaken. They cost a lot of money; thus you should use them carefully. I dont like the dress; moreover, its too expensive. I was late for the film; what was worse, I left my ticket at home.7.使用比喻、拟人等修辞手法比喻

15、性结构新鲜活泼，形象具体，能给读者留下较深刻的印象，具有强大的感染力。例如： The Great Wall runs across China like a huge dragon. To finish the work ahead of time, I have been as busy as a bee recently. He is a lucky dog. Dusk found him crying in the street. (拟人)8 使用英语中的谚语(详见“英语常见谚语汇编”)和汉语一样，英语中也有大量谚语。若能在写作中恰当运用，会给文章增色不少。现例举几条励志类的谚语。 Where there is a will, there is a way. Time
