第三篇:朗阁雅思培训-雅思写作高分句型
雅思写作高分句型
朗阁海外考试研究中心尧亿丛
在雅思写作中,考生如果想得到高分,除了需要依靠较出彩的思想、高分单词以及常见关联词外,还需要运用高分句型。在这些句型中,除了常见的从句(定语从句、状语从句以及名词性从句)之外,强调形式和倒装形式更是拿分的关键点。以下,朗阁海外考试研究中心的专家将对此类句型进行总结。
一、强调形式
强调形式总共分成五大类:
1.对动词进行强调(dodoesdid + V)
Sitting in front of the screen the eye and physical posture of children.Some people that the overuse of chemicals(e.g.Fertilizers and
2.双重否定可表强调
We cannot deny that receiving the distance education is drawbacks.3.比较状语可表强调 to develop the children’s ability of learning on their own.to deal with their academic life those who do not have the gap year spent in working or travelling.4.what引导的主从可表强调
is the failure of the government’s policies.5.强调句型可表强调, 所强调的可以是单词、短语,也可以是从句,但必须保证其结构完整。被强调的成分可以是主语、表语、宾语、同位语、状语等,但不能是定语或谓语。
should shoulder the responsibility to protect the endangered species.(对主语强调)member.(对主语强调)
the young unemployed would have the opportunity to get jobs again.(对状语强调)(对宾语进行强调)
注:强调句中的时态要根据原句的时态而定。即原句为过去某种时态,则强调句中的be就用过去时;原句为现在的某种时态,强调句中就用be的现在时态。有时还可以用It might be/must have been/can’t be…that等句式。
例句:
they spend longer time in travelling.young people.强调句的判断:强调句型可以通过“还原法”来进行判断,若删除强调句型结构后,句子能还原为一个完整的句子,就是强调句。强调句可以看作是用固定的表达-It is/was…that(which, who, whom, where, when)…, 将句子的某个成分(除了谓语)进行重点强调。但是,去掉这个固定的句型部分,句子本身并无任何变化。
二、倒装形式
倒装共分两类:全部倒装和部分倒装。全部倒装是指将全部谓语动词都放在主语之前。部分倒装是指将谓语的一部分如助动词,系动词或情态动词放在主语之前。如果句中的谓语没有助动词或情态动词,则需添加助动词do, does或did, 并将其放在主语之前。
A.全部倒装:把全部谓语放在主语前。
1.there be句型(特殊的全部倒装句型)
There be…是一种较为常见的句子结构,通常用于表达“某地有某人或某物”,在使用此句型结构时,应注意下列问题:
1)主谓一致
例句:
There is little opportunity for children to stay at home until the age of 7 because their parents are both working.There are many reasons why we should not slaughter animals for their fur or leather.2)be动词可以是任何时间状态
例句:
There have been many government which invest a large sum of money in researching the space.There has been a discussion over whether children should be sent to school at a young age.3)在There be结构中除了运用动词be之外,还可以用seem, appear, happen, exist等。在这种句型中,谓语的单复数形式根据靠近谓语的主语而定。
例句:
There seemed to be no permanent solution to the disappearance of minority languages and cultures.2.there here now then放在句首时,句子进行全部倒装。
to realize the seriousness of this problem and take actions immediately.3.方位状语开头时,句子进行全部倒装。
On the internet are provided all kinds of entertainment activities.In books are embalmed the greatest thoughts of all ages.4.主语与表语互换位置(当主语过长而表语过短时,可以把主语与表语互换位置从而构成全部倒装)Important is that the government raises people’s awareness of the environmental protection.5.伴随状语开头(With或Along with放在句首时,句子应该全部倒装)With globalization have come many problems.B.部分倒装:只将情态动词、助动词或系动词放在主语前
1.only +单词、词组、状语从句位于句首,句子进行部分倒装。
2.以否定意义状语开头,句子进行部分倒装。
3.neither nor开头,句子进行部分倒装。
The financial incentive is not the only factor in encouraging employees, neither Economic success is not the only factor in achieving happiness, neither is social status.4.so开头,句子进行部分倒装。
5.让步状语从句由though或as引导时可用倒装,将表语放在句子最前面。as the mainstream form of education.6.so that引导的结果状语从句可用倒装。it.总之,如果考生能将这些原则运用到位,那么在雅思考试中写作成绩出高分是指日可待的。但是句型的熟悉还是在于勤奋的练习,所以朗阁海外考试研究中心还是建议众多的考生们勤加练习,在考试的时候才可以信手拈来。

新西兰和澳大利亚道路历史的介绍,毛利人和早期欧洲人是如何出行 的。现在道路情况的介绍,几条新道路。政府对修路不感兴趣,志愿 者自己建设。第一条道路是为了recreation, 有计划但未实行,最后一 条道路把很多美景连起来。相关英文原文阅读
The assertion that the first pathways were the trails made by animals has not been universally accepted;in many cases animals do not follow constant paths.Others believe that some roads originated from following animal trails.The Icknield Way is given as an example of this type of road origination, where man and animal both selected the same natural line.By about 10,000 BC, rough roads/pathways were used by human travelers.The world's oldest known paved road was laid in Egypt some time between 2600 and 2200 BC.Stone-paved streets are found in the city of Ur in the Middle East dating back to 4000 BC.Corduroy roads(log roads)are found dating to 4000 BC in Glastonbury, England.The Sweet Track, a timber track causeway in England, is one of the oldest engineered roads discovered and the oldest timber track way discovered in Northern Europe.Built in winter 3807 BC or spring 3806 BC, tree-ring dating(Dendrochronology)enabled very precise dating.It was claimed to be the oldest road in the world until the 2009 discovery of a 6,000-year-old track way in Plumstead, London.Brick-paved streets were used in India as early as 3000 BC In 500 BC, Darius I the Great started an extensive road system for Persia(Iran), including the Royal Road, which was one of the finest highways of its time.The road remained in use after Roman times.In ancient times, transport by river was far easier and faster than transport by road, especially considering the cost of road construction and the difference in carrying capacity between carts and river barges.A hybrid of road transport and ship transport beginning in about 1740 is the horse-drawn boat in which the horse follows a cleared path along the river bank.朗阁海外考试研究中心
Research Academy for Foreign Language Examinations From about 312 BC, the Roman Empire built straightstrong stone Roman roads throughout Europe and North Africa, in support of its military campaigns.At its peak the Roman Empire was connected by 29 major roads moving out from Rome and covering 78,000 kilometersor 52,964 Roman miles of paved roads.In the 8th century AD, many roads were built throughout the Arab Empire.The most sophisticated roadswere those in Baghdad, which were paved with tar.Tar was derived from petroleum, accessed from oil fields in the region, through the chemical process of destructive distillation.The Highways Act 1555 in Britain transferred responsibility for maintaining roads from government tolocal parishes.This resulted in a poor and variable state of roads.To remedy this, the first of the “Turnpike trusts” was established around 1706, to build good roads and collect tolls from passing vehicles.Eventually there were approximately 1,100 trusts in Britain and some 36,800 km(22,870 miles)of engineered roads.The Rebecca Riots in Carmarthenshire and Rhayader from 1839 to 1844 contributed to a Royal Commission that led to the demise of the system in 1844, which coincided with the development of the UK railway system.朗阁名师题型难度分析

艺术对很多领域有影响。社区艺术可以促进旅游业,带来经济效益。列举社区可以发展的艺术形式,但很多人不参加社区艺术活动,分析 不想参加的原因。提到两个项目,鼓励儿童参加艺术活动。相关英文原文阅读
Motivated purposes of art refer tointentional, conscious actions on the part of the artists or creator.These may be to bring about political change, to comment on an aspect of society, to convey a specific emotion or mood, to address personal psychology, to illustrate another discipline, to(with commercial arts)to sell a product, or simply as a form of communication.Communication.Art, at its simplest, is a form of communication.As most forms of communication have an intent or goal directed toward another individual, this is a motivated purpose.Illustrative arts, such as scientific illustration, are a form of art as communication.Maps are another example.However, the content need notbe scientific.Emotions, moods and feelings are also communicated through art.Art as entertainment.Art may seek to bring about a particular emotion or mood, for the purpose of relaxing or entertaining the viewer.This is often the function of the art industries of Motion Pictures and Video Games.The Avante-Garde.Art for political change.One of the defining functions of early twentieth-century art has been to use visual images to bring about political change.Art movements that had this goal—Dadaism, Surrealism, Russian constructivism, and Abstract Expressionism, among others—are collectively referred to as theavante-garde arts.“By contrast, the realistic attitude, inspired by positivism, from Saint 朗阁海外考试研究中心
Research Academy for Foreign Language Examinations Thomas Aquinas to Anatole France, clearly seems to me to be hostile to any intellectual or moral advancement.I loathe it, for it is made up of mediocrity, hate, and dull conceit.It is this attitude which today gives birth to these ridiculous books, these insulting plays.It constantly feeds on and derives strength from the newspapers and stultifies both science and art by assiduously flattering the lowest of tastes;clarity bordering on stupidity, a dog's life.”-André Breton(Surrealism)Art as a “free zone”, removed from the action of the social censure.Unlike the avant-garde movements, which wanted to erase cultural differences in order to produce new universal values, contemporary art has enhanced its tolerance towards cultural differences as well as its critical and liberating functions(social inquiry, activism, subversion, deconstruction...), becoming a more open place for research and experimentation.Art for social inquiry, subversion and/or anarchy.While similar to art for political change, subversive ordeconstructivist art may seek to question aspects of society without any specific political goal.In this case, the function of art may be simply to criticize some aspect of society.题型难度分析
这篇文章搭配题型的难度较高,大部分考生对于heading题较心虚,同时还出现了人名-理论配对,让很多考生措手不及。填空题:
rates, attire, recognition 题型技巧分析
建议考生在做雅思人名观点配对题时不需要看完全篇再去做题,而是 可以采用定位法去有的放矢的解决,这样既快捷高效地完成了阅读任 务,也不再对阅读中的搭配题感到棘手和害怕了。今天要和考生们一 起探讨的是如何处理有关人名观点配对中,人名多次出现的试题。
人名观点配对一般考察的是某个人的言论(statement)、观点
(opinion)、评论(comment)、发现(findings or discoveries)。这样,一般这个题的答案在文中就只有两个答案区: 1.人名边上的引号里面的内容;
2.人名+ think /say /claim /argue /believe /report /find /discover /insist /admit /report...+ that从句。
人名在文中一般以以下方式出现: 1.全称(full name), 如:Brian Waldron 2.名(first name), 不常见
3.姓(surname), 如:Professor Smith 4.He/she(在同一段话中,该人再次出现时,用指示代词替代)因此,建议考生去文中找人名时,应该将上述四种情况均考虑进去。再者,应该谨记在心的是:如果一个人名在一段话中出现N次,也只 能算一次。如果一个人名在N段话中出现,就算N次。
该题的答案遍布于全文。因此应该从文章的开头往后依次寻找人 名。

标题配对题(List of headings)是雅思阅读中的一种重要题型,要求 给段落找小标题。它一般位于文章之前,由两部分组成:一部分是选 项,另一部分是段落编号,要求给各个段落找到与它对应的选项,即 表达了该段中心思想的选项,有时还会举一个例子。当然,例子中的 选项是不会作为答案的。解题思路:
1.将例子所对应的选项及段落标号划去 2.划出选项中的关键词及概念性名词
3.浏览文章,抓住各段的主题句和核心词(尤其是反复出现的核心 词),重点关注段落首句、第二句与末句
4.与段落主题句同义或包含段落核心词的选项为正确答案 剑桥雅思推荐原文 练习
