Nothing Scucceeds Without a Strong Willby commenting on the humorous saying, “Quitting smoking is the eaiest thing in the world.I'va done it hundreds of times.” You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.Part I Writing
Nothing Succeeds Without a Strong Will
Nothing runs smoothly in our life.To achieve things successfully, a strong will is essential.Life is like a Marathon.Many people can’t get to the terminal.This is not because they are lack of vitality but because their will of success is not strong enough.To take quitting smoking as an example, some regard it as a piece of cake.They make up their minds to quit it in the morning, but in the evening they feel that the smell of cigarettes is tempting.Their throats are sore, their mouths are thirsty, and their hands are shaking.After the painful mental struggle, they tell themselves that “One cigarette is enough.Just take one, and the next day I will quit it.” By doing this, they surrender to their weak will.In the end, they have quitted smoking “a hundred times”, but in no time they succeed.Just like quitting smoking, nothing succeeds without a strong will.To be successful in one’s life, a strong will means that you know where you go and you will persist on the road you choose.Undoubtedly success belongs to those who overcome their weak will and who hang in there until the last minute 文章点评:
本文属于话题类作文,只看题目 “Nothing Succeeds without a strong will”考生会觉得比较抽象,难以下手。细看题目说明中给出了提示,要求考生结合戒烟屡次不成功的幽默引语对该话题进行分析阐述。
总体来说,这是一篇“中等偏上”的考生作文。本文先点题指出“坚强意志”的重要性;第二段从反面举例阐述——具体描写了意志不坚定者的心理活动,阐述为什么会戒烟失败;最后从戒烟延伸到生活中的其他事情,并复述坚强意志的内涵,点题收尾。
总体上来看,文章思路清晰,采用了生动的比喻和形象的心理描写,语言流畅,用语地道。
但一些重复表达(如第二段和第三段中的weak will)显得单调,可用shaky ones, weak-willed persons,the strong-willed等灵活表达。在备考中,多积累不同表达,相信会写出更生动的文章。
在论述上,叙述略显罗嗦。第二段心理描写过多,虽然流畅生动,但却使这篇考场作文超过了规定字数,反而成为失分点,这一点要引以为戒。

Nothing Succeeds Without a Strong Will
As we have read from above, quitting-smoking seems easy, but in reality it is rarely achieved.There is something provoking and interesting in this paradox, just because sword does not wear the stone as dripping water does.The ability to do something over and over again in a short time may imply its easiness, but in a long run, a lifetime maybe, things turn out to be quite the opposite.Also, as is often the case, one may have obtained all the tools and opportunities to achieve something, but in the end they still fail due to the will shortage.So how could we avoid the dilemma? Here is the prime condition of success: will and perseverance.Concentrate you energy, thought and mind exclusively on the business in which you are engaged, hang on in there and be patient, for, as Emerson put it, no one can cheat you out of your ultimate success but yourself.点评:
本次四级作文探讨的话题是成功与毅力之间的关系,话题不算新,一般考生对此都比较熟悉,所以对考生来说难度不大。写好这篇作文,需要抓住两点,一是紧跟题目要求,即对上述幽默性的话语做出评论,二是在评论的基础上要亮出自己的观点。
范文开头第一句即一针见血地对上述幽默性话语做出总结性概括,即戒烟看似简单实则很难,随后指出该话语本质上是一个悖论,并且以一个“水滴石穿”的俗语来指出困难所在,这句也是本文的一个亮点,体现作者在西方俗语方面丰富的知识储备。
第二段作者则进一步深入分析该话语,指出做某事在短期看来很容易,长期来看,恰恰相反,人们做事的结果也因此总是失败,原因则在最后一句点出:缺乏毅力。
第三段作者进一步给出了自己的观点,告诉大家如何避免陷入这种两难境地:首要条件即需要坚强的意志和长期的坚持。最后再以艾默生的一句名言 “没人能够骗你远离你最终的成功,除非你自己承认失败”来总结全文,切中主题,铿锵有力。

What is Integrity?
“Integrity” is defined as “adherence to moral and ethical principles;honesty.” The key to integrity is consistency--not only setting high personal standards for oneself(honesty, responsibility, respect for others, fairness)but also living up to those standards each day.One who by and follows moral and ethical standards even when making life's hard choices, choices which may be clouded by stress, pressure to succeed, or temptation.What happens if we lie, cheat, steal, or violate other ethical standards? We feel disappointed in ourselves and ashamed.But a lapse of integrity also affects our relationships with others.Trust is essential in any important relationship, whether personal or professional.Who can trust someone who is dishonest or unfair? Thus, integrity must be one of our most important goals.Risky Business
We are each responsible for our own decisions, even if the decision-making process has been undermined by stress or peer pressure.The real test of character is whether we can learn from our mistake, by understanding why we acted as we did, and then exploring ways to avoid similar problems in the future.Making ethical decisions is a critical part of avoiding future problems.We must learn to recognize risks, because if we can't see the risks we're taking, we can't make responsible choices.To identify risks, we need to know the rules and be aware of the facts.For example, one who doesn't know the rules about plagiarism may accidentally use words or ideas without giving proper credit, or one who fails to keep careful research notes may unintentionally fail to quote and cite sources as required.But the fact that such a violation is “unintentional” does not excuse the misconduct.Ignorance is not a defense.“But Everybody Does It”
Most people who get in trouble do know the rules and facts, but manage to fool themselves about the risks they're taking by using excuses: “Everyone else does it,” “I'm not hurting anyone,” or “I really need this grade.” Excuses can get very elaborate: “I know I'm looking at another's exam, even though I'm supposed to keep my eyes on my own paper, but that's not cheating because I'm just checking my answers, not copying.” We must be honest about our actions, and avoid excuses.If we fool ourselves into believing we're not doing anything wrong, we can't see the real choice we're making--and that leads to bad decisions.To avoid fooling yourself, watch out for excuses and try this test: Ask how you would feel if your actions were public, and anyone could be watching over your shoulder.Would you feel proud or ashamed of your actions? If you'd rather hide your actions, that's a good indication that you're rationalizing it to yourself.Evaluating Risks
To decide whether a risk is worth taking, you must examine the consequences, in the future as well as right now, negative as well as positive, and to others as well as to yourself.Those who take risks they later regret usually focus on immediate benefits(“what's in it for me”), and simply haven't considered what might go wrong.The consequences of getting caught are serious, and may include a “0” on a test or assignment;an “F” in the class;Suspension or Dismissal from school;transcript notation;and a tarnished reputation.In fact, when you break a rule or law, you lose control over your life, and give others the power to impose punishment: you have no control over what that punishment might be.This is an extremely precarious and vulnerable position.There may be some matters of life and death, or highest principle, which might justify such a risk, but there aren't many things that fall in this category.Getting Away With It--Or Not
Those who don't get caught pay an even higher price.A cheater doesn't learn from the test, depriving him/herself of an education.Cheating undermines confidence and independence: the cheater is a fraud, and knows that without dishonesty, he/she would have failed.Cheating destroys self-esteem and integrity, leaving the cheater ashamed, guilty, and afraid of getting caught.Worst of all, a cheater who doesn't get caught the first time usually cheats again, not only because he/she is farther behind, but also because it seems “easier.” This slippery slope of eroding ethics and bigger risks leads only to disaster.Eventually, the cheater gets caught, and the later he/she gets caught, the worse the consequences.Students have been dismissed from school because they didn't get this simple message: Honesty is the ONLY policy that works.Cheating Hurts Others, Too
Cheaters often feel invisible, as if their actions “don't count” and don't really hurt anyone.But individual choices have a profound cumulative effect.Cheating can spread like a disease, and a cheater can encourage others just by being seen from across the room.Recent statistics suggest 30% or more of college students cheat.If a class is graded on a curve, cheating hurts others' grades.Even if there is no curve, cheating “poisons” the classroom, and others may feel pressured to join in.(“If I don't cheat, I can't compete with those who do.”)Cheating also has a destructive impact on teachers.The real reward of good teaching is seeing students learn, but a cheater says, “I'm not interested in what you're trying to teach;all I care about is stealing a grade, regardless of the effect on others.” The and destructive attack on the quality of your education.Finally, cheating can hurt the reputation of the University, and harm those who worked hard for their degree.Why Integrity Matters
If cheating becomes the norm, then we are in big trouble.We must rely on the honesty and good faith of others every day.If not, we couldn't put money in the bank, buy food, clothing, or medicine from others, drive across a bridge, get on a plane, go to the dentist--the list is endless.There are many examples of the vast harm that is caused when individuals forget or ignore the effect their dishonesty can have.The savings and loan scandal, the stock market and junk bond swindles, and, of course, Watergate, have undermined the faith of many Americans in the integrity of political and economic leaders and society as a whole.Such incidents take a tremendous toll on our nation's economy and our individual well-being.For example, but for the savings and loan debacle, there might be funds available to reduce the national debt and pay for education.In sum, we all have a common stake in our school, our community, and our society.Our actions do matter.It is essential that we act with integrity in order to build the kind of world in which we want to live.Part II Reading Comprehension(Skimming and Scanning)1.A person of integrity not only sets high moral and ethical standards but also _______.A)sticks to them in their daily life B)makes them known to others C)understands their true values D)sees that others also follow them 2.What role does integrity play in personal and professional relationships?

Passage One
While Gail Obcamp, an American artist was giving a speech on the art of Japanese brush painting to an audience that included visitors from Japan, she was confused to see that many of her Japanese listeners have their eyes closed.Were they tuned off because an American had the nerve to instruct Japanese in their own art form or they deliberately tried to signal their rejection of her? Obcamp later found out that her listeners were not being disrespectful.Japanese listeners sometimes closed their eyes to enhance concentration.Her listeners were showing their respect for her by chewing on her words.Some day you may be either a speaker or a listener in a situation involving people from other countries or members of minority group in North America.Learning how different cultures signal respect can help you avoid misunderstandings.Here are some examples.In the deaf culture of North America, many listeners show applause not by clapping their hands but by waving them in the air.In some cultures, both overseas and in some minority groups in North America, listeners are considered disrespectful if they look directly at the speaker.Respect is shown by looking in the general direction but avoiding direct eye contact.In some countries, whistling by listeners is a sign of approval while in other courtiers it is a form of insult.Questions:
26, What did Obcamp’s speech focus on?
27, Why do Japanese listeners sometimes close their eyes while listening to a speech?
28, What does the speaker try to explain? Passage Two
Chris is in charge of purchasing and maintaining equipment in his Division at Taxlong Company.He is soon going to have an evaluation interview with his supervisor and the personnel director to discuss the work he has done in the past year.Salary, promotion and plans for the coming year will also be discussed at the meeting.Chris has made several changes for his Division in the past year.First, he bought new equipment for one of the departments.He has been particularly happy about the new equipment because many of the employees have told him how much it has helped them.Along with improving the equipment, Chris began a program to train employees to use equipment better and do simple maintenance themselves.The training saved time for the employees and money for the company.Unfortunately, one serious problem developed during the year.Two employees the Chris hired were stealing, and he had to fire them.Chris knows that a new job for a purchasing and maintenance manager for the whole company will be open in a few months, and he would like to be promoted to the job.Chris knows, however, that someone else wants that new job, too.Kim is in charge of purchasing and maintenance in another Division of the company.She has also made several changes over the year.Chris knows that his boss likes Kim’s work, and he expects that his work will be compared with hers.Questions 29 to 32 are based on the passage you have just heard.29.What is Chris’s main responsibility at Taxlong Company?
30.What problem did Chris encounter in his Division?
31.What does Chris hope for in the near future?
32.What do we learn about Kim from the passage? Passage Three
Proverbs, sometimes called sayings, are examples of folk wisdom.They are little lessons which older people of a culture pass down to the younger people to teach them about life.Many proverbs remind people of the values that are important in the culture.Values teach people how to act, what is right, and what is wrong.Because the values of each culture are different, understanding the values of another culture helps explain how people think and act.Understanding your own culture values is important too.If you can accept that people from other cultures act according to their values, not yours, getting along with them will be much easier.Many proverbs are very old.So some of the values they teach may not be as important in the culture as they once were.For example, Americans today do not pay much attention to the proverb “Haste makes waste”, because patience is not important to them.But if you know about past values, it helps you to understand the present and many of the older values are still strong today.Benjamin Franklin, a famous American diplomat, writer and scientist, died in 1790, but his proverb “Time is money” is taken more seriously by Americans of today than ever before.A study of proverbs from around the world shows that some values are shared by many cultures.In many cases though, the same idea is expressed differently.Questions 33-35 are based on the passage you have just heard.33.Why are proverbs so important?
34.According to the speaker what happens to some proverbs with the passage of time?
What do we learn from the study of proverbs from around the world? Section C
Compound Dictation
Our lives are woven together.As much as I enjoy my own company, I no longer imagine I can get through a single day much less all my life completely on my own.Even if I am on vacation in the mountains, I am eating food someone else has grown, living in a house someone else has built, wearing clothes someone else has sewn from cloth woven by others, using electricity someone else is distributing to my house.Evidence of interdependence is everywhere;we are on this journey together.As I was growing up, I remember being carefully taught that independence not interdependence was everything.“Make your own way”,” Stand on your own two feet” or my mother’s favorite remark when I was face-to-face with consequences of some action: Now that you’ve made your bed, lie on it.Total independence is a dominant thing in our culture.I imagine that what my parents were trying to teach me was to take responsibilities for my actions and my choices.But the teaching was shaped by our cultural imagines.And instead, I grew up believing that I was supposed to be totally independent and consequently became very reluctant to ask for help.I would do almost anything not to be a burden, and not require any help from anybody.听力答案:11.^^ask the staff 12.b ^^ TV program13.^^^^^^ missing her flight 14.at a restaurant 15^^^^of the woman 16.^^^^alow-rent apartment 17.^^^otpic more focuse 18,they didnot 19,he likes 20,the cold 21 depressing 22they work 23,french 24,careers 25,its26 the art of 27to enhance 28how listeners 29 directing 30twoofhis employee 31advancement 32sheis competing 33The help 34.Their wording 35.Some 36company 37single 38completely39vacation 40built 41ecectricity42 evidence 43journey
本次听力考试长对话第一篇难度略低与以往水平,话题关于瑞典的天气和生活方式,对话以man speaker提供信息为主,woman speaker穿针引线,所以大家集中精力听man speaker的话即可。
文章大意:对话先谈论了瑞典的季节,冬天异常寒冷,低至零下26度,但是室内非常温暖,所以瑞典人到了英国会抱怨室内温度低。接下来讨论了不同季节的日光长度,圣诞节期间每天只有1小时光照,而五月到七月,直到午夜还有还有日照,所以瑞典享有“The Land of Mid-night Sun”的美誉。瑞典人夏季很早上班,下午2,3点就下班,享受漫长的夏季夜晚。他们的生活方式用原文中的一句话来概述就是“They like to work hard, but play hard too.”。
出题点有4处,全部为细节题,第19题:“What do we learn about the man from the conversation?”,答案出现在对话开篇。第20题: “What do Swedish people complain about when they visit England in winter?”,答案出现在文中,瑞典人拜访英国会抱怨英国人的室内很冷。第21题“How does the man describe the short hour of daylight around Christmas in Sweden?”,man speaker 的评论是 “a bit depressing ”.第22题“What does the man say about the Swedish people?”,瑞典人工作努力,也很会享受盛会。
考场上,大家只要能follow the man speaker’s track,抓住细节,就一定会找出答案。Wish all of you good luck!
本次四级第二篇长对话难度不高,话题是考生很熟悉的校园学习类。从对话的语气中可以猜出是学妹在请教学长关于工作所需的教育背景。
考查长对话一般是看两人谈话会有几个话题,换一个话题就会相应地换一个问题。这篇考试也不例外,三个问题分别是1.男人的专业?2.男人在中学的工作?3.男人上诺丁汉大学的原因?1和3尤其好辨别,相信同学们做对基本的2道题是肯定没有问题的。
抓住了“话题转换有考题”的技巧后,再运用我们课上反复强调的“听到什么选什么”的技巧,那答案就呼之欲出了。比如1应该是French, 2 是career work, 3是campus environment.再加上我们上课教的学习场景词汇中的高频词degree, secondary school, administration, literature, campus, major。如果考生在考场上能及时激活,那文章的大意一定非常明了。
Passage 2 难度适中,话题是升职,属于商务工作场景,大意是Chris 作为公司的采购部的职员希望得到提升,但是遇到了同是采购部的竞争对手Kim,Kim受到领导的喜欢而且表现也不错。原文描述了Chris和Kim在公司中的表现。涉及到的常考词汇有:purchase, maintenance, interview,salary, promotion, equipment, employee, responsibility。这些词汇在听力商务场景中讲过,要求大家必背的。在阅读课上商务类文章中也讲过数次。接下来我们看看具体的题目和答案所在处。Question 29: what is Chris’s main responsibility at Texalon company? 我们课堂上说篇章一般开头30秒会有一题的答案,这题的答案在第一句话。
Chris is in charge of purchasing and maintaining equipment in his division at Texalon company.In charge 管理和负责的意思。Purchase采购,maintenance 维修。Question 30: what problem did Chris encounter in his division? Unfortunately, one serious problem develops during the year.Two employees that Chris hired were stealing and he had to fire them.此题答案在文章中间部分,关键是problem 这个词。Question 31: what does Chris hope for in the near future? He would like to be promoted to the job.Promote 升职。Would like to 想要。Question 32: what do we learn about Kim from the passage? 原文:Chris knows, however, someone else wants the new job too.Kim is in charge of purchasing and maintenance in another division of the company.Kim这个女人也是负责采购和维修的,她希望得到这个工作。

第二篇:大学英语四级作文真题解析
大学英语四级作文真题解析
四级的题型包括论说文、说明文、记叙文。2017年6月份我们考的是考应用文,卖的是二手车、二手电脑,12月份考的是文字当中的A或者B的形式,到底是工作还是考研,到底是国企还是外企。2017年12月考到的是大家关心的医闹问题,同学感觉到这个问题比较伤感。医闹怎么说?我们可以翻成“医疗的一些问题、争端或者冲突”等等。这是第一套题。第二套题,讲的是所谓的老师和学生之间的关系如何营造。第三套题,父母和孩子的关系。
大家发现这道题从审题的难度来讲基本长没有什么难度,基本上是初中、小学词汇,题干不会出现什么问题。“How to”题型已经考过三次,重点在如何(how),也就是说我们重点是方法。从内容上来讲,但是发现这三道考题之间的关系是大家非常熟悉的话题,比说医闹关系,医生和患者之间的关系,老师和学生的关系,这是教育的话题,再比如家长和孩子之间的关系等等,所以从题材到内容来说都是四级考生已经必备的知识要素。
我们的四六级的写作满分是15分,包括两部分,第一是奖励分,第二是基本分的部分。
首先,奖励分是卷面的问题,大家都喜欢美的事物。也就是说要保持卷面清晰,给老师留下好的第一印象。第二是基本分。这里包括三部分。
第一是文章的结构。
我们在写作文的时候分三个层次,总分总的原则,第一自然段我们一定要进行引题部分,第二是分析,第三是总结。第一段把医患关系,家长和孩子关系,学生和老师的关系等等,这些核心的主题词引导出来。
第二是分析。根据不同文章的要求,不同文章的题材进行分析的过程。重点在方法、建议的措施上。所以这个文章中间分析的环节,重点讲的是建议、措施和方法。
第三是总结。注意要加上所谓逻辑关系词。比如三个方法,或者是三个建议的措施,三个原因,三个危害等等。
这是英语考试,大家一定要想清楚我们每句话首先保证的是准确,其次保证的是漂亮。如何保证准确漂亮?第一个是词的运用,我们在刚才的文章当中,是否出现了“重要important”这个单词,你可以换一些高级的词汇essential,当你把这些常见的单词进行高级化的替换以后,你的分值就会提高。再说一下句型的文化。好的文章,不仅是句子准确,还要考虑句子的高级化。比如说你是否运用了非谓语动词等高级语法。

第四篇:2016年6月大学英语四级真题答案与解析
写作
题目:
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a letter to express your thanks to one of your friends who helped you most when you were in difficulty.You should write at least 120 words but no more than 180 words.今年四级时隔九年之后首次考了一道应用文写作,虽然出乎意料,但是大家可以根据题干中的关键词“letter”迅速判断今年要写的是书信。书信本身难度不大,但是需要特别注意英文书信的书写格式。
一、四级书信格式要求
1、抬头:收件人的姓名
2、正文:三段式
3、落款:祝福(yours sincerely)+写信人名
二、感谢信格式模板: Dear ______, I am writing to extend my sincere gratitude for __________________(感谢的原因).If it had not been for your assistance in __________________(对方给你的具体帮助), I fear that I would have been___________________(没有对方帮助时的后果).No one would disagree that it was you who___________________________(给出细节).Again, I would like to express my warm thanks to you!Please accept my gratitude.Best wishes.Yours sincerely,Li Ming(注意:抬头的Dear+人名顶格靠左写,后面一定要加逗号!落款yours sincerely和写信人名顶格靠右写,yours sincerely后面也一定要加逗号!Yours sincerely为书信的惯用套话,这个必须得有!)
三、真题解析
再来看看今天第三套试卷的写作。写作要求让自己写一封感谢信来表达你对帮助自己克服困难的朋友的感谢。虽然书信大家可能在复习的时候准备的较少,但其实只要抓住了书信的基本格式,即多了抬头和落款,正文的写作应该较为简单,尤其是第二段,大家可以按照熟悉的原因分析段的方式来写。
1、写作思路: 第一段:表明对朋友的感谢并点题;
第二段:朋友用哪些方式帮我在哪些方面克服了困难
第三段:再次表示对朋友诚挚的感谢并祝愿朋友身体健康。
2、范文: Dear Tom, I am writing to extend my sincere gratitude for your great help when I failed that vital English interview.If it had not been for your assistance in giving me those brilliant suggestions and warm encouragement, I fear that I would have lost my way.No one would disagree that it was you who stayed with me and pulled me through the hard time.First and foremost, you told me it is the priority for me to calm down.This is due to the fact that the ability to stay sober and positive made me come up with quite a few ideas to cope with the consequence that failure triggered.Furthermore, you made me learn to analyze my lack of interview skills and find solutions.Plenty of evidence has shown that this work played an indispensable role in my success the next year.Last but not the least, you helped to build my confidence.Again, I would like to express my warm thanks to you!Please accept my gratitude.Best wishes.Yours sincerely, Li Ming
选词填空
一、文章主旨: 根据首句,我们可以看到整篇文章的主旨意思:physical activity does the body good, and there’s growing evidence that it helps the brain too.(身体活动对身体活动有好处,越来越多的证据显示它对大脑也有好处),所以我们可以知道整篇文章实际是在讨论身体活动与大脑活动相关的影响。
二、对15个选项进行词性分类 A.n B.adv C.n D.v-ing E.v-ing F.adj G.adj H.v I.n J.adv K.adv L.n M.v N.v O.v

51.A 解析:审题,问的是这个研究的目的,根据题干中的大写字母JAGS定位到第一段,JAGS looked at this question那一句,可以发现研究的目的是为了回答这个问题,由此可知就是上文提到的两个问题,所以是跟personality affect longevity 有关的,答案选A 52.D 解析:审题,根据outgoing and sympathetic people 定位到第二段,由最后一句话可知 作者暗示这些人是更有可能度过艰难时期的人。答案选D 53.C 解析:审题,finding 研究发现,out of our exception 出乎我们的意料的,所以结合题文同序原则定位到第三段,一开头就出现了however,所以出乎意料的是有一些你认为有利的人格却对长寿没有影响。后面接着就举例说明了。答案选C 54.D 解析:关键词定位到倒数第二段,研究发现母亲的人格对孩子的寿命有影响,选D 55.B 解析:定位到最后一段,说明身、心健康二者才是促成长寿的原因。翻译
乌镇是浙江的一座古老水镇,坐落在京杭大运河畔。这是一处迷人的地方,有很多古桥,中式旅馆和餐馆。在过去一千多年里,乌镇的水系和生活方式并未经历多少变化,是一座展现古文明的博物馆。乌镇所有房屋都用石木建造。数百年来,当地人沿河边建起了住宅和集市。无数宽敞美丽的庭院藏身于屋舍之间,游客们每到一处都会有惊喜的发现。Wuzhen, an ancient waterside town in Zhejiang Province, is located by the Great Canal.It is a charming scenic spot with numerous old bridges, hotels and restaurants of Chinese style.In the past more than 1,000 years, the water system and life style in Wuzhen has experienced few changes, which is a museum unfolding the ancient civilization.All the houses there are constructed with stones and wood.For hundreds of years, the locals have built dwellings and markets along the river banks.There are innumerable roomy and beautiful courts hiding among the houses, and tourists will have surprise discoveries wherever they go.解析:
1.第一句是个标准的A is B, and A is C句式,根据我们之前在课程上讲过的公式直接套取即A is B, and A is C = A, B, is C。把“浙江的一座古老水镇”这个部分写成“乌镇”的同位语,用“坐落”作为该句的谓语部分。
2.第二句又是一个有逗号的句子,前方是个简单的主谓宾结构的句式,后方的“有很多”这个结构,我们在课堂上讲过,表示的并非是“真正的拥有”的意思,而是一种伴随的状态,可以用“with”的短语表达出来。
3.第三句,第一个逗号之前是明显的时间状语,提醒了第二个逗号前的句子应该使用现在完成时,第二个逗号之后的句子是用来陈述客观事实,可用一般现在时。前后句主语一致,都为乌镇,所以根据我们所说过的合句提分的方法,后句直接用“,which……”即可连接。而此句难点在于“展现古文明的”这个定语如何翻译,如果不会直接翻译,我们可以把这个句子拆成“是一座博物馆,它展现了古文明”来解决,或者像例文中所示一样,用我们所说过的非谓语动词作定语的结构,由逻辑主语主动发出并与谓语动词同时发出的原则选取doing作定语,译成“unfolding the ancient civilization”的后置定语即可。4.第四句是难度很小的一句话,判断出用一般现在时和被动语态即可。
5.第五句话从时间状语来判断,使用现在完成时即可。难度也较小。6.第六句逗号前的半个句子根据“在某地存在某人某物”的句型判断应该使用there be句型翻译。逗号后面的句子跟前面是个并列结构,用and并列即可。
