One of the most important social developments that helped to make possible a shift in thinking about the role of public education was the effect of the baby boom of the 1950s and 1960s on the schools.In the 1920s,but especially in the Depression conditions of the 1930s,the United States experienced a declining birth rate—every thousand women aged fifteen to forty-four gave birth to about 118 live children in 1920,89.2 in 1930,75.8 in 1936,and 80 in 1940.With the growing prosperity brought on by the Second World War and the economic boom that followed it,young people married and established households earlier and began to raise larger families than had their predecessors during the Depression.Birth rates rose to 102 per thousand in 1946,106.2 in 1950,and 118 in 1955.Although economics was probably the most important determinant,it is not the only explanation for the baby boom.The increased value placed on the idea of the family also helps to explain this rise in birth rates.The baby boomers began streaming into the first grade by the mid-1940s and became a flood by 1950.The public school system suddenly found itself overtaxed.While the number of schoolchildren rose because of wartime and postwar conditions,these same conditions made the schools even less prepared to cope with the flood.The wartime economy meant that few new schools were built between 1940 and 1945.Moreover,during the war and in the boom times that followed,large numbers of teachers left their profession for better-paying jobs elsewhere in the economy.Therefore,in the 1950s and 1960s,the baby boom hit an antiquated and inadequate school system.Consequently,the “custodial rhetoric” of the 1930s and early 1940s no longer made sense;that is,keeping youths aged sixteen and older out of the labor market by keeping them in school could no longer be a high priority for an institution unable to find space and staff to teach younger children aged five to sixteen.With the baby boom,the focus of educators and of laymen interested in education inevitably turned toward the lower grades and back to basic academic skills and discipline.The system no longer had much interest in offering nontraditional,new,and extra services to older youths.1.What does the passage mainly discuss?
[A] The teaching profession during the baby boom.[B] Birth rates in the United States in the 1930s and 1940s.[C] The impact of the baby boom on public education.[D] The role of the family in the 1950s and 1960s.2.The public schools of the 1950s and 1960s faced all of the following problems EXCEPT____.[A] a declining number of students
[B] old-fashioned facilities
[C] a shortage of teachers
[D] an inadequate number of school buildings

促使人们在对公共教育之作用的思考上发生转变的最重要的社会状况之一就是,20世纪50年代和60年代生育高峰对学校的影响。在20世纪20年代,尤其是在30年代经济大萧条的情况下,美国经历了一次出生率的降低——在1920年,每1,000名15~44岁的妇女生育了大约118个婴儿,1930年为89.2个,1936年为75.8个,到了1940年为80个。随着

economics was probably the most impoItant deterrninant.一可知,经济的繁荣导致了baby boom,故选A.2.C 细节题。由题干关键词t11e.teaching profession定位第二段最后一句„teac】3ers leR their professionforbettei‘-payingjobs„(很多老师为了高薪离开了教师岗位),由此可推断出答案应为C.3.B 语义题。由题干关键词custodial rJaetoric定位文章第三段,第二句说到,三四十年代custodial rhetoric不再合理,该句中that is后就是custodial dletorjc的内容,即keeping youths aged sixteen antl older out oftlle lal)or mar-ket by keeping t】aem in scla00l,选项B正是该句的同义转述,故为答案。
4.B 推断题。作者在第三段首句提到生育高峰冲击了学校体系,可排除A;最后一段提到教育者的焦点也转向了低年级,转回到了基本的学术技能和学科上,而对向年龄较大的年轻人提供非传统的、新式的和额外的服务不再抱有太多的兴趣,言外之意,在生育高峰之前教育者的焦点不在基本的学术技能和学科上,故排除c,D与文意正好相反,只有B符合文意。
5.C 主旨题。本题针对文章的大意。文章开篇作者就点明了主题“促使人们在对公共教育的作用的思考上发生转变的最重要的社会状况之一,就是20世纪50年代和60年代生育高峰对学校的影响”。由此可见,本文的主旨应为C.

2017考研英语阅读暑期训练:法学类(21)
Technology is a two-edged sword.Rarely is this as clear as it is in the realm of health care.Technology allows doctors to test their patients for genetic defects——and then to turn around and spread the results throughout the world via the Internet.For someone in need of treatment,that's good news.But for someone in search of a job or an insurance policy,the tidings can be all bad.Last week President Bill Clinton proposed a corollary to the patients' bill of rights now before Congress: a right to medical privacy.Beginning in 2002,under rules set to become law in February,patients would be able to stipulate the conditions under which their personal medical data could be divulged.They would be able to examine their records and make corrections.They could learn who else had seen the information.Improper use of records by a caregiver or insurer could result in both civil and criminal penalties.The plan was,said Clinton,“an unprecedented step toward putting Americans back in control of their own medical records.”
While the administration billed the rules as an attempt to strike a balance between the needs of consumers and those of the health-care industry,neither doctors nor insurance companies were happy.The doctors said the rules could actually erode privacy,pointing to a provision allowing managed-care plans to use personal information without consent if the purpose was “health-care operations.” That,physicians said,was a loophole through which HMOs and other insurers could pry into the doctor-patient relationship,in the name of assessing the quality of care.Meanwhile,the insurers protested that the rules would make them vulnerable to lawsuits.They were especially disturbed by a provision holding them liable for privacy breaches by “business partners” such as lawyers and accountants.Both groups agreed that privacy protections would drive up the cost of health care by at least an additional $3.8 billion,and maybe much more,over the next five years.They also complained about the increased level of federal scrutiny required by the new rules' enforcement provisions.One aim of the rules is to reassure patients about confidentiality,thereby encouraging them to be open with their doctors.Today various cancers and sexually transmitted diseases can go untreated because patients are afraid of embarrassment or of losing insurance coverage.The fear is real: Clinton aides noted that a January poll by Princeton Survey Research Associates found that one in six U.S.adults had at some time done something unusual to conceal medical information,such as paying cash for services.注(1):本文选自By EVAN THOMAS Newsweek;11/08/99,Vol.134 Issue 19,p67,1/2p,1c

篇章剖析
本文主要讲述了病人医疗隐私权立法及其引发的争议,采用的是指出问题——分析问题的模式。作者首先说明了病人医疗隐私泄露可能带来的问题,接着谈了提议中的病人医疗隐私权法案的内容。在

loophole n.漏洞
pry v.探查,侦查,窥探
provision n.规定
liable adj.有责任的 breach n.违背;不履行
难句突破
1.The doctors said the rules could actually erode privacy,pointing to a provision allowing managed-care plans to use personal information without consent if the purpose was “health-care operations.”
主体句式:The doctors said „
结构分析:本句中pointing to 这个作伴随状语的分词短语又包含了一个介词without引出的方式状语和由if引导的条件状语从句,使得句子的结构变得较为复杂。
句子译文:医生认为这些法规实际上是在破坏隐私权,因为其中一条规定允许管理式医疗保健计划(managed-care plan)在“开展医疗保健工作”时可以不经许可使用个人信息。
题目分析
1.答案为A,属推理判断题。文章以医生利用先进的互联网技术传播病人医疗信息会有助于治疗某些病人的疾病,但同时又给一些病人在就业和购买保险方面带来困难为例说明保护病人医疗信息的重要性,以及不当使用技术可能带来的不良后果。
2.答案为B,属事实细节题。“be open with their doctors ”只是这项法规试图达到的效果,并不是该法规赋予病人的权利。因此答案应该是B.3.答案为B,属事实细节题。文章引用医生的观点认为新法规不但不利于保护病人的隐私,反而会actually erode privacy,由此可见答案应该是B.4.答案为A,属推理判断题。前文讲到了病人因为羞于启齿或者担心失去保险赔付而隐瞒病情,使疾病得不到治疗;然后说The fear is real.继而引用普利斯顿调查研究协会的调查结果,意在说明这一问题的严重性。
5.答案为D,属事实细节题。文章中提到保险公司的反对意见时,引用了保险公司的说法:the rules would make them vulnerable to lawsuits.由此可见答案应该是D.A项中提出的政府加强对病人私人信息的控制的说法是不正确的,因为保险公司抗议的是政府要加强对法规实施情况的审查(the increased level of federal scrutiny required by the new rules' enforcement provisions)。
参考译文
技术是一把双刃剑。这一点在医疗保健领域尤为明显。借助技术,医生可以测试病人的遗传缺陷——并通过互联网很快将结果传遍全世界。对于那些需要治疗的人来说,这是好消息;但对于那些正在找工作,或者想要买一份保险的人来说,这样的消息可能非常糟糕。
上周比尔。克林顿总统向国会提交了一份病****利法案的推论:医疗隐私权。从2002年开始,根据2月即将生效的法规,病人将有权规定透露其个人医疗资料的条件。他们可以检查自己的病历并进行更正。他们也可以了解哪些人曾看过他们的信息。医护人员或者保险公司对病历使用不当将会导致民事或者刑事处罚。克林顿说,这一提案“在促使美国人重新获得对自己的病历控制权方面迈出了极其重要的一步。”
虽然政府称这些法规旨在平衡消费者和医疗保健行业的需求,但医生和保险公司对此都颇有微词。医生认为这些法规实际上是在破坏隐私权,因为其中一条规定允许管理式医疗保健计划(managed-care plan)在“开展医疗保健工作”时可以不经许可使用个人信息。医生们称其为一个漏洞,它使得医疗保健机构(HMO)和其他保险公司可以打着评估医疗保健质量的 3 页 共 3 页
凯程考研集训营,为学生引路,为学员服务!
旗号窥探医患关系。同时,保险公司也对这些法规持反对意见,他们认为这些法规很容易让他们惹上官司。其中一条法规令他们尤为不满,该法规规定:保险公司对律师和会计这样的“商业伙伴”的侵犯隐私行为负责。这两个群体都一致认为,保护隐私会使医疗保健成本增加至少38亿美元,在接下来的五年里也许还会增加更多。根据新法规的执行条例,联邦政府将加大对医疗保健行业的审查力度,他们对此也表示不满。
新法规的目标之一就是要让病人不再担心自己的隐私被泄漏,从而鼓励他们对医生坦诚相告。今天各种各样的癌症和性病可能会因为病人羞于启齿或者担心失去保险赔付而得不到治疗。这种担心并非无中生有:克林顿的助手补充说,由普林斯顿调查研究协会在一月份进行的一项民意测试显示,在美国,每六个成年人中就有一个曾经做过刻意隐瞒医疗信息的事情,比如用现金支付服务费。

(1)2003年真题。Directions:
Study the following set of drawings carefully and write an essay in which you should:
1)describe the set of drawings, interpret its meaning, and
2)point out its implications in our life.You should write about 200 words on ANSWER SHEET 2.真题分析:
这又是一组对比的组图,非常简单明了。两张图的大背景都是暴风雨交加的恶劣天气,在左边的图中,花朵在温室中绚烂地开放;而右图中,同样的一朵花在离开了温室之后就黯然凋谢了。组图题为“温室花朵经不起风雨”,考生稍加分析就可以发现该图并不只是谈论花朵,而更是指向了我们平时所说的“祖国的花朵”们,也就是孩子们,这就自然而然地和社会问题联系在了一起。中国在实施了计划生育之后,独生子女们成为了家里的“小皇帝”、“小公主”,受到全家人的百般呵护,从小就在蜜罐中长大。这些孩子们人生道路几乎都是一帆风顺,没有经历过大的困难和挫折,因此一旦离开了父母的保护,就很容易由于经不起各种社会现实的打击而一蹶不振。通过这番分析,我们就可以得出文章的主要论点,即受到过分溺爱的孩子们经不起挫折和逆境。
思路拓展:
独生子女成长的问题在很大程度上牵涉到了中国的教育制度和教育方法等全方位的问题。我们可以联想到现阶段在教育界存在的其他热点问题,如传统灌输教育和素质教育之间的关系、孩子的学习和娱乐之间的关系、学生们的全面发展问题、教育费用和教育负担的问题、教育质量的问题、城乡教育制度差别的问题、教育公平性问题等等。这些问题都是平时政府、民众和媒体非常关注的问题,考生借助自己的大学生活背景也能够了解许多相关的情况。应该说,教育类的话题对于考生说是一个比较熟悉、也相对比较简单容易的话题。
范文:
As the title indicates, “greenhouse flowers cannot survive unpleasant weather”, the set of pictures apparently reminds us that excessive protection only leads to negative results.When a flower blossoms in the greenhouse despite of the external rain and thunder, it withers immediately once being moved out of its cozy haven.Children in China are always compared to “the flowers of our motherland”.It is alarming that a large portion of them are in danger of experiencing a similar misfortune to the flower in the picture.This is partly attributed to the birth of a generation of “only children”, who are quite pampered and spoiled by their parents.Leading a life full of success, love and sweetness, these children are quite ignorant of failure, hardship, and the taste of tears that abound in real life.Therefore, when they leave home, they might be overly sensitive to frustration and easily suffer depression that prevents them from a happy and promising future.This type of child is not what we hope for the future of our country.On the contrary, we need to nurture a generation that is fully prepared for independent life, so that it is ready to confront any challenge, adapt to changes of environment, and survive the heated competition in today’s world.译文:
正如该图的题目所显示的那样,“温室里的花朵经不起风雨”,这组图画清楚地告诉我们过度的保护只会导致负面的结果。当外面打雷下雨的时候,一朵花却能在温室中生机勃勃地开放。可是一旦离开了这个舒适的避难所来到外面的时候,这朵花立刻就凋谢了。
在中国,孩子经常被比作“祖国的花朵”。但是,令人担忧的是很多孩子有可能经历图中花朵的不幸。部分原因可以归结为“独生子女”一代的出生,这些孩子都被他们的父母惯坏了。他们的生活中只充满了成功、爱和甜蜜,而他们都不懂什么是失败、艰难,也很少尝过眼泪的滋味,但是实际生活中却是充满了失败、艰难和眼泪的。因此,他们可能会对挫折过于敏感、也很容易及沉湎于忧郁,使他们在踏入社会以后没有一个幸福和充满前景的未来。
这一类孩子决不是我们国家未来需要的人才。相反,我们需要培育一代能够独立生活的孩子,他们随时准备面对任何挑战、随时适应环境的变化、并能够在现代社会的激烈竞争中生存下来。

Educators are seriously concerned about the high rate of dropouts among the doctor of philosophy candidates and the consequent loss of talent to a nation in need of Ph.D.s.Some have placed the dropouts loss as high as 50 percent.The extent of the loss was,however,largely a matter of expert guessing.Last week a well-rounded study was published.It was published.It was based on 22,000 questionnaires sent to former graduate students who were enrolled in 24 universities and it seemed to show many past fears to be groundless.The dropouts rate was found to be 31 per cent,and in most cases the dropouts,while not completing the Ph.D.requirement,went on to productive work.They are not only doing well financially,but,according to the report,are not far below the income levels of those who went on to complete their doctorates.Discussing the study last week,Dr.Tucker said the project was initiated ‘because of the concern frequently expressed by graduate faculties and administrators that some of the individuals who dropped out of Ph.D.programs were capable of competing the requirement for the degree.Attrition at the Ph.D.level is also thought to be a waste of precious faculty time and a drain on university resources already being used to capacity.Some people expressed the opinion that the shortage of highly trained specialists and college teachers could be reduced by persuading the dropouts to return to graduate schools to complete the Ph.D.’
“The results of our research” Dr.Tucker concluded,“did not support these opinions.”
1.Lack of motivation was the principal reason for dropping out.2.Most dropouts went as far in their doctoral program as was consistent with their levels of ability or their specialities.3.Most dropouts are now engaged in work consistent with their education and motivation.Nearly 75 per cent of the dropouts said there was no academic reason for their decision,but those who mentioned academic reason cited failure to pass the qualifying examination,uncompleted research and failure to pass language exams.Among the single most important personal reasons identified by dropouts for non-completion of their Ph.D.program,lack of finances was marked by 19 per cent.As an indication of how well the dropouts were doing,a chart showed 2% in humanities were receiving $ 20,000 and more annually while none of the Ph.D.‘s with that background reached this figure.The Ph.D.’s shone in the $ 7,500 to $ 15,000 bracket with 78% at that level against 50% for the dropouts.This may also be an indication of the fact that top salaries in the academic fields,where Ph.D.‘s tend to rise to the highest salaries,are still lagging behind other fields.凯程考研,为学员服务,为学生引路!
As to the possibility of getting dropouts back on campus,the outlook was glum.The main condition which would have to prevail for at least 25 % of the dropouts who might consider returning to graduate school would be to guarantee that they would retain their present level of income and in some cases their present job.1.The author states that many educators feel that
[A] steps should be taken to get the dropouts back to campus.[B] the dropouts should return to a lower quality school to continue their study.[C] the Ph.D.holder is generally a better adjusted person than the dropout.[D] The high dropouts rate is largely attributable to the lack of stimulation on the part of faculty members.2.Research has shown that
[A] Dropouts are substantially below Ph.D.‘s in financial attainment.[B] the incentive factor is a minor one in regard to pursuing Ph.D.studies.[C] The Ph.D.candidate is likely to change his field of specialization if he drops out.[D] about one-third of those who start Ph.D.work do not complete the work to earn the degree.3.Meeting foreign language requirements for the Ph.D.[A] is the most frequent reason for dropping out.[B] is more difficult for the science candidate than for the humanities candidate.[C] is an essential part of many Ph.D.programs.[D] does not vary in difficulty among universities.4.After reading the article,one would refrain from concluding that
[A] optimism reigns in regard to getting Ph.D.dropouts to return to their pursuit of the degree.[B] a Ph.D.dropout,by and large,does not have what it takes to learn the degree.[C] colleges and universities employ a substantial number of Ph.D.dropouts.[D] Ph.D.‘s are not earning what they deserve in nonacademic positions.5.It can be inferred that the high rate of dropouts lies in
[A] salary for Ph.D.too low.[B] academic requirement too high.[C] salary for dropouts too high.[D] 1000 positions.答案详解

four years after she arrived from Honduras,Martha,20,graduated from Fairfax High School in Los Angeles.She managed decent grades while working 36 hours a week at a Kentucky Fried Chicken.Her sister,Marlin,22,attends a local community college and will soon be a certified nurse assistant.The brothers are a different story.Oscar,17,was expelled two years ago from Fairfax for carrying a knife and later dropped out of a different school.The youngest,Jonathan,15,is now in a juvenile boot camp after running into trouble with the law.“The boys get sidetracked more,” says the kids' mother,Suyapa Landaverde.“The girls are more confident.”
This is no aberration.Immigrant girls consistently outperform boys,according to the preliminary findings of a just-completed,five-year study of immigrant children——the largest of its kind,including Latino,Chinese and Haitian kids——by Marcelo and Carola Suarez-Orozco of the Harvard Graduate School of Education.Though that trend holds for U.S.-born kids as well,the reasons for the discrepancy among immigrants are different.The study found that immigrant girls are more adept at straddling cultures than boys.“The girls are able to retain some of the protective features of [their native] culture” because they're kept closer to the hearth,says Marcelo Suarez-Orozco,“while they maximize their acquisition of skills in the new culture” by helping their parents navigate it.Consider the kids' experiences in school.The study found that boys face more peer pressure to adopt American youth culture——the dress,the slang,the disdain for education.They're disciplined more often and,as a result,develop more adversarial relationships with teachers——and the wider society.They may also face more debilitating prejudices.One teacher interviewed for the study said that the “cultural awareness training” she received as part of her continuing education included depictions of Latino boys as “aggressive” and “really macho” and of the girls as “pure sweetness.”
Gender shapes immigrant kids' experiences outside school as well.Often hailing from traditional cultures,the girls face greater domestic obligations.They also frequently act as “cultural ambassadors,” translating for parents and mediating between them and the outside world,says Carola Suarez-Orozco.An unintended consequence:“The girls get foisted into a responsible role more than the boys do.” Take Christina Im,18,a junior at Fairfax who arrived from South Korea four years ago.She ranks ninth in a class of 400 students and still finds time to fix dinner for the family and work on Saturdays at her mother's clothing shop.Her brother? “He plays computer games,” says Im.The Harvard study bears a cautionary note: If large numbers of immigrant boys continue to be alienated academically——and to be clear,plenty perform phenomenally——they risk sinking irretrievably into an economic underclass.Oscar Herrera,Martha's dropout brother,may be realizing that.“I'm thinking of returning to school,” he recently told his mother.He ought to look to his sisters for guidance.1.In the opening paragraph,the author introduces his topic by
[A]posing a contrast

[简析] 本句话是一个并列句,其主干“Martha graduated from Fairfax High School in Los Angeles.She managed decent grades„”。four years after she arrived from Honduras和20是插入语;while引导的断语作状语,表示让步。
2.“The girls are able to retain some of the protective features of [their native] culture” because they're kept closer to the hearth,says Marcelo Suarez-Orozco,“while they maximize their acquisition of skills in the new culture” by helping their parents navigate it.[简析]本句话的主干是“The girls are able to retain some of the protective features„”。Because引导的是原因庄宇从句;says Marcelo Suarez-Orozco是插入语;while 引导的是时间状语从句,其中的by引导的短语作状语,其中的it指的是new culture.3.One teacher interviewed for the study said that the “cultural awareness training” she received as part of her continuing education included depictions of Latino boys as “aggressive” and “really macho” and of the girls as “pure sweetness.”
[简析]本句话的主干是“One teacher said that„”。interviewed for the study作定语修饰teacher;that 引导的是宾语从句,其中的she received as part of her continuing education是一个省略了引导词的定语从句,修饰cultural awareness training.4.The Harvard study bears a cautionary note: If large numbers of immigrant boys continue to be alienated academically——and to be clear,plenty perform phenomenally——they risk sinking irretrievably into an economic underclass.[简析]本句话的主干是“The Harvard study bears a cautionary note„”。冒号后面的句子是在解释前面的句子;if 引导的是条件状语从句;破折号里面的内容是在进一步说明if 引导的从句。

had exposure to larger projects.If all of your experience was at no-name companies in North Dakota,then you need to tell me that the project youworked on had 15 developers and an annual budget of 3 million dollars.Otherwise I’m likely to think your prior experience was building simple ASP front ends to little Access databases.And finally,follow the directions for applying for the job.If I went to the trouble of describing how you should apply,there‘s probably a good reason for it.If I ask for a plain-text resume,don’t send a Word document or a link to your resume on your Web site.If I ask for a code sample,include it.If you can‘t follow those simple directions,how can I expect that you’ll be able to follow a spec?

第五篇:考研英语作文训练计划
30句+25分钟+大作文20分
考研是选拔性的考试,强人如山,牛人如海,跟他们拼命自然不是明智之举。我的作文不会写,模板没有时间背,单词不会拼,语法老是错,怎么办???那就更不能硬拼,要用巧劲。
本文以一种全新的理念帮你解决以上问题,总之,写好文章是外刊作者的事情,考研这么短的时间之内我要做的就是安排外刊作者与改卷老师见面。这句话的意思就是不要想用自己的语言组织出一篇能够顺利表达主题的文章,而是要把自己准备的句子呈现出来,自己写一些最基本的链接词句,把真题中的好句子用上,灵活的行文。作文不在于把文章塞进模板,而在于把模板分割开来去适应文章
有了自己的行文方式,不管什么文章,把不会的词一换,3分钟出结构,20分钟写出来,2分钟检查,搞定20分。本文的重点在于一种全新的理念:六部分结构组合法,以六部分为基础,用灵活的方式组成文章,而非用某一模板生搬硬套。这六部分分为:
一、宏伟开头
二、描写图画(图表)
三、引出问题
四、举例证明
五、解决措施
六、展望未来
这六个部分可以组成一切文章,只要有好的句子,做好连接,就可以在25分钟内搞出一篇有地道口味的文章,而且不用担心字数不够。在这里我不是反对背诵分类模板,而是那种理念和思维方式会束缚考生的发挥,同时会让人局限在如“火锅”这样的词上而迟迟下不了手。任何文字只要把图画描写清楚,阐明寓意,加上自己的评论即可,不要局限在出题目的老师所设置的障碍上,文章是你自己写的,If you don’t like it, change it!在冲刺阶段,尤其不能相信押题和背诵,而是把属于你自己的模板练好,筛选出自己的30万能句,本文将揭示如何组合,同时也提供了一些备选句,只要掌握方法,一篇行云流水的文章就应运而生。
30个句子比160篇要好多了,很多范文是两头小中间大,重点在中间,本身就有语言表达上的风险,加上时间匆忙老师改卷子是必然会漏掉一些内容,好句子没看到,语法错误倒是不少,这样就亏大了。所以我的文章是3段,每段60~70字,按情况微调,我不敢说比谁写的好,因为我只写简单句过渡,长的、漂亮的句子都是从外刊上摘下来的,所以急急忙忙改卷子的老师也不会说我写的不好。
考生只需熟练掌握这六个部分的排列组合,每个部分准备5个句子,按情况从30个句子中挑出6个组成文章,既不会因为时间紧构思不完,也不会因为基础差而满篇错误。
这里举一个例子:宏伟的开头。
诸多考生千篇一律的写:As is vividly described in this picture that „„ 然后,第二段的开头都是 The simple picture deliver a deeply meaning that„„殊不知这些句子和”I think”, ”some ”, “like”, “good” 等词一样,属于恶心中的恶心,老师读了几百遍,如何给你一个高分?有人说这样写比较保险,虽然不会高分,但至少不会出错,这种保守不无道理,但是严重的问题也随之出现:开篇这样写,老师就已经认定你背了模板,纵然文中有好句子也会被忽略,五档的分数已经与你无缘,好一点的就在四档徘徊吧!所以我们要在开头处把老师打晕,给他一个漂亮又不华丽的句子,既扼要主题又不显平庸的句群,上来的感觉并非是卓尔不群(老师都自视甚高,不会说哪篇文章是好文章),而是“这孩子文学素养还可以”,为引出后面跌宕起伏的另外5句做准备。
2011年的文章比较平缓,那些背了千奇百怪的模板的考试就紧张了,不知如何应对。主题简单,更要彰显文章流畅而不是立意深刻!
图画中一对情侣坐在船上欣赏湖面美景,可是身后却是一片狼籍——丢弃在水面上的垃圾,此时,画面上的男子还在向水里扔苹果皮。这种道德问题普遍存在,所以宜小中见大来引出主题。
“To throw or not to throw: that is a question!”.This old Shakespeare’s puzzlement may be obvious in this thought-provoking picture that moral problems are threatening our environment not less than society.(“扔还是不扔”这个古老的莎士比亚的困惑如今看起来好像十分明显,这幅发人深思的图告诉我们,道德问题危害环境的同时也威胁着整个社会。)然后 As is described that+描写图画,这样就构成了第一段。35个词的开篇既不落俗套,又点明主旨,而且描写图画只要再写30个字左右就完成任务了,这样按部就班的拼凑却不会显得生硬的难以下咽。其实,最大的好处不再于此!此句出于莎士比亚的歌剧:To be or not to be: that is a question!这是每个英语专业的老师当年的必修课,不仅是因为这一句是出自于名家大作,更是因为这样的文字可以唤起老师的回忆,回忆当年的大学时光,或感叹今日自己壮志未酬,或感叹自己年少时的意气风发,(也可能想起那时青涩的恋人)总之动之以情就赢了!
2010年的文章比较生僻,但是如果不把重点集中在“火锅” 一词之上,而是上来就用文化融合开头,之后再描写图画,就水到渠成,轻松加愉快:一来点明的主旨,二来也多了不少字,为不会写的那些词争取到了替代品。
The rapidly development of economy of China has been accompanied by a
corresponding increasing trend of cultural communication among the world.As is described in this imaginative and humorous picture, we can figure out numbers of cultures in the hot-pot such as „„(中国经济的迅猛增长,随之而来的是在世界范围内的一种文化交流的增长趋势。正如这幅富有想象力和幽默感的图画所描述,我们可以发现数种文化聚集在火锅之内,诸如„„)事实证明,“火锅” 怎么写都没有扣分,只要写出代表不同的文化即可,至于外国人的名字不会拼,那就多拼几个中国人呗。这一句是从China
Daily上面抄的,真是万能中的万能!后面会详细举例如何用它“一夫当关万夫莫开”。此句更是体现了翻译题目中的诸多知识点:
(1)双介词结构:of„.of„..仔细研究过翻译真题的考生可以发现每年这种双介词结构都不下于两个,尤其是A of B of C的结构。
(2)汉语主动,英语被动:has been accompanied by 用被动的形式表达主动的趋势,也体现了地道英语喜欢以物作主语,而汉语思维则会写成The cultural communication is increasing with Chinese development.这样感觉如何?
(3)非谓语动词:accompanied,corresponding,increasing,这个可是尤其重要的,句法中只可以出现一个动词,但是恰恰是非谓语动词使得句子活灵活现,不管是作表语、定语还是什么成分,都比普通的adj 和adv 生动的多。
用知识点举一反三,改卷老师自然高兴又欣慰,翻译的讲义会详细讲解。
以上只是第一段的举例,如何准备句子,如何谋划篇幅,如何连接拼凑,如何写好标题,以及如何练好书写,本文都会一一解答。如果您有充分的时间准备或已经是英文高手,就不必浪费时间在这上面,毕竟这只是应试教育的产物,从反测试学的角度帮助考生在最短的时间里争取最多的分数,一是突破英语这个难关,二是为最后的政治和专业课争取背诵的时间。如果您觉得我的思路是故弄玄虚,糊弄大家,完全可以不用理会,也不用拍砖了,留着力气继续奋斗吧!
是为序。
