26、在平時寫作時，考生要注意前后句子之間是否存在聯(lián)系，善于發(fā)現(xiàn)各個簡單句之間的關聯(lián)，用恰當?shù)倪B接詞將簡單句連接起來，組成準確地道的復雜長句，增加文章的氣勢。 【例1】,【例2】 【例3】,【例4】,2. 長句變短句 長句固然能表達出復雜而縝密的思想，但如果片面追求復雜句子，反而會顯得華而不實，成為表達的累贅。寫作中句子的長短應根據(jù)表達的需要而定。短句不僅指句子長度較短，也指句子內(nèi)部結(jié)構精煉，簡潔是寫作的一個重要原則，用詞累贅則是寫作的大忌。 【例1】 【原文】His father, who is a salesman, became a millionaire overnight. 【優(yōu)化】His

27、 father, a salesman, became a millionaire overnight. 【例2】 【原文】Perhaps they basically distrusted our capacity to judge correctly. 【優(yōu)化】They distrusted our judgment.,一、將下面的長句和短句進行優(yōu)化改寫，使其更符合表達要求。 【原句】 【優(yōu)化】,【原文】【優(yōu)化】,主動句和被動句變換 與漢語相比，英語更注重動作本身，而不是動作的執(zhí)行者，因此在英語中被動語態(tài)的使用相對多一些，但這并不表明要一味地追求被動語態(tài)的使用。 1. 主動變被動 1）不需

28、要體現(xiàn)動作的執(zhí)行者 【原文】 We should pay more attention to the elderly who had devoted their youth and energy to our country. 【優(yōu)化】 More attention should be paid to the elderly who had devoted their youth and energy to our country.,2）需要強調(diào)動作的承受者 【原文】 The employees elected Mr. Li chairman of the committee last wee

33、】 Looking into the future, I will try my best to serve my fellow students if I am lucky enough to be President of the Student Union. 【例2】 【原文】 In 1836, there arose the working-class movement which is known as Chartism(人民憲章運動), which was the first proletarian revolutionary movement（無產(chǎn)階級革命運動）. 【優(yōu)化】 in

34、 1836, there arose the working-class movement known as Chartism, which was the first proletarian revolutionary movement.,專項訓練,一、要求：請將下列句子中劃線的從句部分改為非謂語動詞形式。 【原文】【優(yōu)化】,比較句變換 1. 表示相似性 1）just as, so（正如,也一樣） 【例】 Just as food is necessary to life, so are books to our spirit. 2）share/ have in common （在方面有共同

40、ly and vice verse,松散到緊湊變換 如果一篇文章只是具有意義上的連貫，而形式上比較松散，就很難突出主題，較好地表達作者的意圖。為了能夠使文章主題明確、線索明了，而且句式富于變化，句與句之間、段與段之間都需要一定的連接手段。寫作中常用的連接手段有： 1. 使用過渡性詞語 表示過渡性的詞語從功能上分，主要可以分為表轉(zhuǎn)折、表讓步、表層進、表舉例或列舉、表總結(jié)、表強調(diào)、表比較或?qū)Ρ鹊冗B接詞語。 表轉(zhuǎn)折：but, however, nevertheless, instead, on the other hand 表讓步：although, though, despite, even so

41、, even if/though, regardless of, in spite of 表層進：first, to begin with, furthermore, besides, moreover, in addition, whats more, last but not least 表舉例或列舉：for example, for instance, as an illustration, such as 表總結(jié)：in summary, in a word, in brief, in conclusion, to conclude, in short, on the whole 表強調(diào)

42、: indeed, of course, in particular, above all, most important, in fact 表比較或?qū)Ρ?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. 使用過度性的句子 與段落中句與句之間的連貫一樣，一篇文章中各段落之間也需要以一定的方式來明確各段之間的邏輯關系，從

45、而使整篇文章形成一個統(tǒng)一連貫的整體。段與段之間除了借助一些篇章層次上的連接性詞語，如however, similarly, therefore, on the other hand, on the contrary, in contrast, in conclusion, in short等， 還經(jīng)常需要使用一些表示過渡性的句子來確保其連貫性。 【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. 利用代詞指代上文提到過的事物 英語中比較習慣運用代詞來代替上文提到過的人或事物，從而增強上下文的連貫性，并避免重復，使語言更加簡潔明了。 【例】 Installing monitor cameras is good

Consequently the guards can easily know what is going on in the districts from the screens of the monitor cameras.,句式變換綜合練習,訓練一 Directions: For this part, you ar
