TPO閱讀部分是一個非常好的語料庫，雖然里面的內(nèi)容大都是科普類的，可能很難直接搬到我們的作文中，但是論證所需的詞、短語、句式、乃至結(jié)構(gòu)都是完全可以搬到我們的寫作中來的，那么今天就和出國留學(xué)網(wǎng)的小編一起來看看TPO閱讀有哪些經(jīng)典語句適合做托福開頭？
原文材料
These ideas remain controversial. Proponents point to features such as the terraced “beaches” shown in one image， which could conceivably have been left behind as a lake or ocean evaporated and the shoreline receded. But detractors maintain that the terraces could also have been created by geological activity， perhaps related to the geologic forces that depressed the Northern Hemisphere far below the level of the south， in which case they have nothing whatever to do with Martian water. [TPO 8-3-4]
這些觀點仍然存在爭議。支持者們指出照片里顯示的臺地“海灘”可能是由湖泊或者海洋蒸發(fā)干涸之后或者海退之后形成的。但是反對者認(rèn)為這些臺地也可能是由于地質(zhì)活動造成的，也許與使得北半球比南半球地勢更低的地質(zhì)力有關(guān)。在這種情況下，它們就和火星水系沒有任何關(guān)系。
參考句式
The issue whether [轉(zhuǎn)述題目] remains controversial. Proponents point to the benefits of A such as a1 and a2. But detractors maintain that its advantages pale in comparison to the drawbacks.
X 這個問題依然存在爭議。支持者提出 A 的好處，比如 a1， a2。然而，反對者堅持認(rèn)為 A 的好處和壞處相比不值得一提。
這個經(jīng)典的句式可以作為開頭的爭議部分。我們只需要在后面加一個表明立場的話就可以了。如果有興趣前面也可以搞個背景。
參考練習(xí)
The issue whether governments should place economic development high on their list of priorities remains controversial. Proponents point to the benefits of a strong economy such as higher standard of living and lower unemployment rate. But detractors maintain that its advantages pale in comparison to the drawbacks.
政府是否應(yīng)該把經(jīng)濟(jì)發(fā)展放到優(yōu)先的位置上依舊是有爭議的。支持者指出好的經(jīng)濟(jì)有很多好處比如更高的生活水準(zhǔn)以及降低失業(yè)率。然而反駁者堅持認(rèn)為這樣做弊大于利。
