26、在平时写作时，考生要注意前后句子之间是否存在联系，善于发现各个简单句之间的关联，用恰当的连接词将简单句连接起来，组成准确地道的复杂长句，增加文章的气势。 【例1】,【例2】 【例3】,【例4】,2. 长句变短句 长句固然能表达出复杂而缜密的思想，但如果片面追求复杂句子，反而会显得华而不实，成为表达的累赘。写作中句子的长短应根据表达的需要而定。短句不仅指句子长度较短，也指句子内部结构精炼，简洁是写作的一个重要原则，用词累赘则是写作的大忌。 【例1】 【原文】His father, who is a salesman, became a millionaire overnight. 【优化】His

27、 father, a salesman, became a millionaire overnight. 【例2】 【原文】Perhaps they basically distrusted our capacity to judge correctly. 【优化】They distrusted our judgment.,一、将下面的长句和短句进行优化改写，使其更符合表达要求。 【原句】 【优化】,【原文】【优化】,主动句和被动句变换 与汉语相比，英语更注重动作本身，而不是动作的执行者，因此在英语中被动语态的使用相对多一些，但这并不表明要一味地追求被动语态的使用。 1. 主动变被动 1）不需

28、要体现动作的执行者 【原文】 We should pay more attention to the elderly who had devoted their youth and energy to our country. 【优化】 More attention should be paid to the elderly who had devoted their youth and energy to our country.,2）需要强调动作的承受者 【原文】 The employees elected Mr. Li chairman of the committee last wee

If you are honest to others, （他们也会真诚地对待你，反之亦然）_. 【答案】 they will treat you sincere

40、ly and vice verse,松散到紧凑变换 如果一篇文章只是具有意义上的连贯，而形式上比较松散，就很难突出主题，较好地表达作者的意图。为了能够使文章主题明确、线索明了，而且句式富于变化，句与句之间、段与段之间都需要一定的连接手段。写作中常用的连接手段有： 1. 使用过渡性词语 表示过渡性的词语从功能上分，主要可以分为表转折、表让步、表层进、表举例或列举、表总结、表强调、表比较或对比等连接词语。 表转折：but, however, nevertheless, instead, on the other hand 表让步：although, though, despite, even so

41、, even if/though, regardless of, in spite of 表层进：first, to begin with, furthermore, besides, moreover, in addition, whats more, last but not least 表举例或列举：for example, for instance, as an illustration, such as 表总结：in summary, in a word, in brief, in conclusion, to conclude, in short, on the whole 表强调

42、: indeed, of course, in particular, above all, most important, in fact 表比较或对比:While, whereas, likewise, similarly, equally, in comparison with, compared with, in the contrary, in the contrast, by contrast,【例】 Walters goal in life was to become a successful surgeon. First, he had to get through high

43、school, so he concentrated all his efforts on his studiesin particular, biology, chemistry, and math. Because he worked constantly on these subjects, Walter became proficient in them; however, Walter forgot that he needed to master other subjects besides those he had chosen. As a result, during his

44、junior year of high school, Walter failed both English and Latin. Consequently, he had to repeat these subjects and he was almost unable to graduate on schedule. Finally, on June 6, Walter achieved the first step toward realizing his goal.,2. 使用过度性的句子 与段落中句与句之间的连贯一样，一篇文章中各段落之间也需要以一定的方式来明确各段之间的逻辑关系，从

45、而使整篇文章形成一个统一连贯的整体。段与段之间除了借助一些篇章层次上的连接性词语，如however, similarly, therefore, on the other hand, on the contrary, in contrast, in conclusion, in short等， 还经常需要使用一些表示过渡性的句子来确保其连贯性。 【例】 Every student will be faced with the same question when he passes the College Entrance Examination: Should he choose a goo

46、d major or a good university? Answers differ as for different groups of people. Some students give priority to a good major. What they cherish is a specialty they like most. In their mind, ,3. 利用代词指代上文提到过的事物 英语中比较习惯运用代词来代替上文提到过的人或事物，从而增强上下文的连贯性，并避免重复，使语言更加简洁明了。 【例】 Installing monitor cameras is good

47、 for residents and neighborhood. First of all, as what the advocates claim, it is an effective approach to improve the security situation.
