第一步:總結(jié)文章中的好的短句、長(zhǎng)難句、考點(diǎn)句;總結(jié)文章中句子如何開(kāi)頭,句子之間的關(guān)系、銜接,段落之間的銜接,并記憶和運(yùn)用可以在作文中使用的句型。
例1:He is a big spender. 他花錢(qián)大手大腳。
運(yùn)用:Many young adults are big spenders. 許多年輕人花錢(qián)大手大腳。
例2:1949 witnessed the liberation of China.
運(yùn)用:The dawn of the new century witnessed the increasing popularity of the web.
中國(guó)人寫(xiě)英文句子多喜歡用第一人稱(chēng)開(kāi)頭,寫(xiě)作文時(shí)候開(kāi)頭也缺乏變化。所以平時(shí)在超精讀時(shí)仔細(xì)研究文章中的句子是如何開(kāi)頭是很有必要的。
例3:He got off the plane. Reporters surrounded him. 這兩個(gè)句子沒(méi)有語(yǔ)法問(wèn)題,但放在一起就顯得缺乏連貫性。如果改成He got off the plane and was surrounded by reporters 或者He got off the plane. And he was surrounded by reporters 就可以了。所以平時(shí)要多研究英文句子是如何銜接的。

We can see how the product life cycle works by looking at the introduction of instant coffee. When it was introduced, most people did not like it as well as “regular” coffee and it took several years to gain general acceptance (introduction stage). At one point, though, Instant coffee grew rapidly in popularity and many brands were introduced (stage of rapid growth). After a while people became attached to one brand and sales leveled off (stage of maturity). Sales went into a slight decline(衰退)when freeze-dried coffees were introduced (stage of decline).
第一段中有三個(gè)句型可以在圖表作文中應(yīng)用:
1. instant coffee grew rapidly in popularity.
我們可以這樣模仿:the mobile phone has grown rapidly in popularity.
2. sales leveled off.
或者也可以這樣說(shuō):sales remained constant / steady / stable / much the same
3. sales went into a slight decline.
或者也可以這樣說(shuō): sales declined slightly / 如果下降幅度大可以說(shuō)sales declined dramatically / substantially / sharply / greatly / hugely.
第四步:總結(jié)文章主要討論對(duì)象、關(guān)鍵詞,作者、專(zhuān)家的觀點(diǎn)以及語(yǔ)篇及段落發(fā)展模式。對(duì)考試類(lèi)文章而言,還要總結(jié)文章的考點(diǎn)、題目的定位、答案的替換、正確和干擾項(xiàng)的規(guī)律、特征。

Passage Three
(31) Throughout the nation's more than 15,000 school districts, widely differing approaches to teaching science and math have emerged. Though there can be strength in diversity, a new international analysis suggests that this variability has instead contributed to lackluster (平淡的) achievement scores by U.S. children relative to their peers in other developed countries.(注意本段的differing / diversity / variability幾個(gè)同義替換,表明本段強(qiáng)調(diào)了美國(guó)各個(gè)地區(qū)的科學(xué)和數(shù)學(xué)教育差異很大〈多樣性,多元化〉的事實(shí)。文章第二句,作者話鋒一轉(zhuǎn),盡管多元化有好處,但有分析表明這導(dǎo)致了美國(guó)的孩子與其它發(fā)達(dá)國(guó)家的同齡人相比,學(xué)習(xí)成績(jī)比較平淡。這一句提出了美國(guó)教育存在的問(wèn)題,預(yù)測(cè)后文可能會(huì)作詳細(xì)闡述或提出解決問(wèn)題的辦法,注意這都是可能的考點(diǎn)。平時(shí)復(fù)習(xí)時(shí)一定要培養(yǎng)自己歸納、預(yù)測(cè)原文的能力?。?BR> 31. According to the passage, the teaching of science and math in America is _______.
[定位與替換] 本題問(wèn)美國(guó)的科學(xué)和數(shù)學(xué)教學(xué)的狀況。根據(jù)關(guān)鍵詞teaching of science and math定位到原文第一段。選B) characterized by its diversity以多樣性為特點(diǎn)。解題的重點(diǎn)在準(zhǔn)確判斷第一段所強(qiáng)調(diào)的內(nèi)容。
[干擾項(xiàng)分析] A) focused on tapping students' potential集中開(kāi)發(fā)學(xué)生的潛力,文中無(wú)信息支持;C) losing its vitality gradually逐步失去活力,D) going downhill in recent years近幾年走下坡路,文章雖指出了美國(guó)的教育體系有缺陷,但并未說(shuō)其失去活力或走下坡路,故不應(yīng)選C、D。
Indeed, concludes William H. Schmidt of Michigan State University, who led the new analysis, "no single intellectually coherent vision dominates U.S. educational practice in math or science.'' The reason, he said, "is because the system is deeply and fundamentally flawed." (Indeed, 在這里是加強(qiáng)語(yǔ)氣,“確實(shí)”的意思,經(jīng)常在文章中引出作者或者專(zhuān)家的重要觀點(diǎn)。專(zhuān)家Schmidt的結(jié)論:美國(guó)數(shù)學(xué)和科學(xué)的教育實(shí)踐缺乏連貫一致的知識(shí)觀念,原因是這個(gè)體系有深刻和根本的缺陷。到底是什么缺陷呢?這里專(zhuān)家只是作了抽象的概括,下文中可能會(huì)詳細(xì)闡述。注意coherent和第一段diversity是反義詞。)
The new analysis, released this week by the National Science Foundation in Arlington, Va., is based on data collected from about 50 nations as part of the Third International Mathematics and Science Study.(本段不是很重要,主要講這個(gè)分析是基于50個(gè)國(guó)家的數(shù)據(jù)。)
Not only do approaches to teaching science and math vary among individual U.S. communities, the report finds (= the new analysis), but there appears to be little strategic focus within a school district’s curricula, its textbooks, or its teachers' activities.(Not only … , but …倒裝強(qiáng)調(diào)句,語(yǔ)意重心在but后面的內(nèi)容:美國(guó)的各個(gè)學(xué)區(qū)在課程等方面缺乏戰(zhàn)略重點(diǎn)。the report finds是插入語(yǔ))(32) This contrasts sharply with the coordinated national programs of most other countries.(這與大部分其它國(guó)家的協(xié)調(diào)的國(guó)家計(jì)劃形成鮮明對(duì)比,是作者的結(jié)論句。This指代上面一句的意思,也即美國(guó)人的做法。這里也是一個(gè)重要的對(duì)比考點(diǎn)。)
32. The fundamental flaw of American school education is that ________.
[定位與替換]本題是問(wèn)美國(guó)學(xué)校教育的根本缺陷是什么。根據(jù)關(guān)鍵詞fundamental flaw可定位到原文第二段,但答案并不在其中(而是在第四段)。根據(jù)對(duì)文章的分析,應(yīng)該選A) it lacks a coordinated national program美國(guó)學(xué)校教育缺乏一個(gè)協(xié)調(diào)一致的全國(guó)性計(jì)劃。答案是從第四段This contrasts sharply with the coordinated national programs of most other countries. 推得的。本題解題的關(guān)鍵是跨段整合內(nèi)容。
[干擾項(xiàng)分析] B) it sets a very low academic standard for students它對(duì)學(xué)生設(shè)定了非常低的學(xué)術(shù)標(biāo)準(zhǔn),文中無(wú)內(nèi)容支持(只是說(shuō)美國(guó)學(xué)生學(xué)的多而不精);C) it relies heavily on the initiative of individual teachers它非常依賴(lài)各個(gè)教師的主動(dòng)性,文中無(wú)信息支持;D) it attaches too much importance to intensive study of school subjects 它太重視學(xué)校課程的深入學(xué)習(xí),與文章內(nèi)容相反,如果選項(xiàng)是attach too much importance to extensive, but not intensive, study of school subjects 才符合原文。
(33) On average, U.S. students study more topics within science and math than their international counterparts do. This creates an educational environment that "is a mile wide and an inch deep," Schmidt notes. (出現(xiàn)比較級(jí)時(shí)應(yīng)高度關(guān)注。第二句This指代第一句陳述的事實(shí):平均說(shuō)來(lái),與國(guó)際同齡人相比,美國(guó)學(xué)生在科學(xué)與數(shù)學(xué)方面要學(xué)習(xí)更多的科目。A mile wide and an inch deep屬于形象用法、比喻考點(diǎn)。)
For instance, eighth graders in the United States cover about 33 topics in math versus just 19 in Japan. Among science courses, the international gap is even wider.(作者接著舉例說(shuō)明美國(guó)的教育環(huán)境是a mile wide and an inch deep。)U.S. curricula for this age level resemble those of a small group of countries including Australia, Thailand, Iceland, and Bulgaria. Schmidt asks whether the United States wants to be classed with these nations, whose educational systems "share our pattern of splintered (支離破碎的) visions" but which are not economic leaders.
33. By saying that the U.S. educational environment is "a mile wide and an inch deep" (Line 2, Para. 5), the author means U.S. educational practice ________.
[定位與替換] 本題問(wèn)作者對(duì)美國(guó)教育實(shí)踐的看法。根據(jù)上面兩段This指代的事實(shí)以及For instance后對(duì)a mile wide and an inch deep的進(jìn)一步解釋可以看出,美國(guó)教育注重所開(kāi)科目的廣度而不重視深度,所以選D) scratches the surface of a wide range of topics只觸及了許多科目的表面。另外,education environment = educational practice。解題的關(guān)鍵是要跨段整合內(nèi)容,并準(zhǔn)確地識(shí)別指代和例證的含義。
[干擾項(xiàng)分析] A) lays stress on quality at the expense of quantity犧牲數(shù)量來(lái)強(qiáng)調(diào)質(zhì)量,和文中內(nèi)容相反;B) offers an environment for comprehensive education為全面綜合教育提供了環(huán)境,文中只提到科學(xué)和數(shù)學(xué)教育,并未出現(xiàn)全面綜合教育的概念;C) encourages learning both in depth and in scope鼓勵(lì)既深入又廣泛地學(xué)習(xí),這只是美國(guó)教育改革的方向,與原文內(nèi)容不一致。
The new report "couldn't come at a better time," says Gerald Wheeler, executive director of the National Science Teachers Association in Arlington.(本句是某個(gè)專(zhuān)家對(duì)the new report所作的評(píng)價(jià)。文章中出現(xiàn)概括性評(píng)價(jià)之后一般都會(huì)作進(jìn)一步的解釋說(shuō)明、原因分析等,這是命題者較喜歡的考點(diǎn)。)(34)"The new National Science Education Standards provide that focused vision," including the call "to do less, but in greater depth."
