如果在每年報(bào)考大學(xué)四、六級(jí)(CET4& CET6)的數(shù)百萬莘莘學(xué)子當(dāng)中做一項(xiàng)調(diào)查問卷來找出歷年試題中令他們頭痛的部分,我相信絕大多數(shù)的考生都會(huì)毫不猶豫地在“寫作”一項(xiàng)中涂上濃重的一筆。其實(shí),這是一種認(rèn)識(shí)上的誤區(qū)。眾所周知,四、六級(jí)作文的出題模式素來以“八股文”而著稱,這樣也就造就了其極強(qiáng)的可操作性,而它直接的體現(xiàn)就是不同體裁文章類型的模板的衍生?,F(xiàn)在市場(chǎng)上充斥著海量的類似輔導(dǎo)書籍,但其中具有系統(tǒng)性和科學(xué)性的精品可謂少之又少,魚目混珠和嘩眾取寵者倒是占據(jù)了大壁江山。為了使廣大飽受寫作折磨之苦的蕓蕓眾生早日擺脫困擾,我仔細(xì)研讀了歷年四、六級(jí)考試的寫作真題及相關(guān)的優(yōu)秀范文,經(jīng)過認(rèn)真的研究和揣摸,終于總結(jié)出了一套完整的作文模板。在這里,我愿針對(duì)在考試中出現(xiàn)比率高的也是典型的議論文題型——正反闡釋題做一個(gè)詳細(xì)的講解,希望一方面可以起到拋磚引玉的作用,并同時(shí)為四、六級(jí)寫作部分教學(xué)的研發(fā)提供一些思路。
四、六級(jí)寫作中正反闡釋題的標(biāo)志極其明顯,現(xiàn)列舉幾道真題如下:
2000年6月(四、六級(jí))
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic “Is a Test of Spoken English Necessary?” The first sentence has already been written for you. You should write at least 120 words, and you should base your composition on the outline (given in Chinese) below:
1.很多人認(rèn)為有必要舉行英語口語考試,理由是……
2.也有人持不同意見,……
3.我的看法和打算
1999年6月(四、六級(jí))
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic “Reading Selectively or Extensively?” You should write at least 120 words, and you should base your composition on the outline (given in Chinese) below:
1.有些人認(rèn)為讀書要有選擇
2. 有些人認(rèn)為應(yīng)當(dāng)博覽群書
3.我的看法
1995年6月(六級(jí))
Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a composition on the topic “Should Firecrackers Be Banned?” You should write at least 120 words, and you should base your composition on the outline (given in Chinese) below:
1. 有人認(rèn)為放鞭炮是好事,為什么?
2. 有人認(rèn)為放鞭炮是壞事,為什么?
3.我的看法
從上述三道真題我們不難看出:此等類型寫作題干部分皆由三點(diǎn)提綱組成:一部分為正方觀點(diǎn),另一部分為反方觀點(diǎn),后要求陳述考生個(gè)人觀點(diǎn)。據(jù)此,我們可以勾勒出這樣一個(gè)萬能模板:
Opening:
There is no consensus of opinions among people as toX(爭(zhēng)論的焦點(diǎn))。Some people are of the view that (觀點(diǎn)1),while others take an opposite stand, firmly believing that(觀點(diǎn)2)。
Body text:
A:Those people who maintain(觀點(diǎn)1)hold that(論據(jù)1)。They also claim that (論據(jù)2)。
B:Nevertheless, the other people who contend(觀點(diǎn)2)argue that(論據(jù)1)。They also point out that(論據(jù)2)。
Conclusion:
A: one-sided---As far as I am concerned, the former/latter opinion holds more weight. For one thing, (論據(jù)1)……For another,(論據(jù)2)……When all the factors are examined, we may reasonably come to the conclusion that…….
B: Balanced---From the above discussion, I have to admit that there are merits to both sides of the issue. However, I would like to take a more neutral position. On the one hand, (針對(duì)觀點(diǎn)1立場(chǎng)或相關(guān)措施及建議)…; on the other hand,(針對(duì)觀點(diǎn)2立場(chǎng)或相關(guān)措施及建議)。
