浅谈高考英语写作中的高级表达 2007年起，广东高考英语科试题结构和分值都发生了很大变化。其中，书面表达部分的变化最引人注目。不仅分值由原来的25分增加到40分，而且由原来的一题变为“基础写作”和“读写任务”两部分。这样对考生的写作能力要求就大大提高了。那么，如何突破写作，获得高分，成为广大师生关注的问题。本文就写作中如何运用高级表达提出以下几点供广大师生参考。 1.使用复合句 复合句可以把结构松散的句子连接起来，从而使表达显得高级。高考写作中用到的复合句包括下列几种： (1) 定语从句 Mary is a girl in Class 1. She speaks English very fluently. → Mary is a girl in Class1, who speaks English very fluently. (2) 状语从句 The doctor arrived there in time. The boy was saved. It was not too late. → The boy was saved because the doctor arrived there before it was too late. (3) 名词性从句(包括主语从句、表语从句、宾语从句和同位语从句) Xiao Ming was always late for school. His teacher didn’t know why. → His teacher didn’t know why Xiao Ming was always late for school. 如果考生驾驭句子的能力较强，则还可以恰当使用复杂的复合句（就是从句中还包含从句）。例如： I want to know whether you want to meet Miss Tang when she comes back from Japan, where she works as an engineer. (本句包含3个从句) 2.使用某些惯用句型 写作中如果能恰当运用英语中某些常见的惯用句型，可以使文章显得富有“洋味”。考生可以参考本人归纳的“中学英语常见重要句型”(50个)。 3.使用高级词汇 一、巧用习语(idiom) 英语中有大量习语，如果运用得当，则可大大增加文章的感染力。考生要在平时的学习过程中不断积累。例如： What she explained doesn’t hold water. 她的解释站不住脚。 Many families struggle to make ends meet. 很多家庭只能勉强维持生计。 I don’t know why she is always in low spirits. 我不知道她为什么总是情绪低落。 He turned a deaf ear to what I said. 他对我的话一点也听不进去。 This sentence doesn’t make sense. 这个句子讲不通。 二、用短语代替单词 英语中同义词众多，在表达的时候，尽量用短语代替单个的词。例如： ① I have made up my mind to study English better this term. (同义词：decide) ② I have no idea how to enlarge my vocabulary. (同义词：don’t know) ③ A burning cigarette end resulted in/led to the big fire. (同义词：cause) ④ Since my childhood I have been fond of music. (同义词：like) ⑤ We will take the matter into account(consideration). (同义词：consider) 三、善用小词 在写作中巧用、活用某些小词，常常会起到画龙点睛、四两拨千斤的作用。 (1) 动词：see, find , have, take, get, strike, run, cover, fail, go, make, manage, keep, stay, do(行，可以), help(有用), work(起作用), count, etc. 例如： 2005 saw the successful launch of Shenzhou VI in China. China has a history of more than 5,000 years. Saddam Hussin got hanged on the 30th of December, 2006.
