预测作文
(一)Global Shortage of Fresh Water
1.人们以为淡水是取之不尽的(提示:雨水、河水、井水……)
2.实际上淡水是非常紧缺的(提示:人口增长、工业用水增加、污染……)3.我们应该怎么办 【范文】
At present, many people take it for granted that fresh water will never be used up because we can find it not only from the rain, but also in the rivers, lakes and wells.Consequently, it is not neceary for us to worry about global shortage of fresh water.In fact, the situation has become so serious that everyone should be aware of it and take immediate actions.With the world population increasing rapidly year after year, water resources are being consumed at an appalling speed.What's more, with the development of science and technology, modern industry needs much more water than before.Thirdly, pollution is also a worrying problem—water in rivers and wells becomes undrinkable because of industrial wastes.We should take urgent measures to protect fresh water resources.The government should increase the efficiency of water usage by such methods as water recycling and purification of sea water.The people, on the other hand, should form the habit of cherishing every drop of water.Last but not least, pollution must be effectively controlled, if we ever want to improve the quality of life.【点 评】
本篇范文的最大特色是将批驳类与办法类结合,首段指出一些人的错误认识;第二段从三方面进行批 驳;第三段指出我们的做法。范文首先指出,一些人认为淡水是取之不尽的,然后在第二段中进行批驳。首先,水资源正在被以惊 人的速度消费。其次,现代工业需要更多的水资源。另外,因为工业污染,有些水已经不适宜饮用了。第三段阐述正确做法,即政府提高水资源的利用率、人人养成 节约用水的习惯以及有效地控制水污染。
第一段第一句中的take it for granted表示“想当然”,be used up表示“用完,耗尽”。第三段第一点中的efficiency,recycling和purification分别指“效率”、“再循环”和“净化”。

(二)Why Are There So Many Rural Laborers in Big Cities? 1.近年来越来越多的民工涌入大城市 2.产生这一社会现象的原因 【范文】
For a number of years, there has been a steady rise in the number of rural laborers who flood into big cities.Many men work on construction sites, while many women work as dishwashers in restaurants or babysitters for city dwellers.Three reasons, in my mind, can account for this social phenomenon.First and foremost, the limited land can no longer produce enough crops for an ever-increasing rural population.In the second place, there are far more opportunities in big cities—rural laborers dream of earning money through hard work.Last but by no means least, many of them want to live permanently in big cities, because they admire the way of living there, and wish their children to receive good education.I firmly believe that if we try our best to create a healthy social atmosphere, rural laborers will make greater contribution to our nation.【点评】
本题谈论的是一种社会现 象。第一段首句引入某一现象,第二句举例说明,第三句是个过渡句,引起下面解释原因段落的第二段;第三段是简洁的结束语,其中的宾语从句嵌套一个状语从 句。
范文首先指出大量农民工涌入大城市这一现象,并引出第二段所阐述的三个原因。首先,农村有限的土地不能满足日益增长的人口消费。其次,大 城市有更多的工作机会。最后,农民工向往大城市的生活,想永远居住在大城市。末段总结指出,如果创造一个健康的社会环境,农民工就可以为国家做出更大的贡 献。第一段第二句中的construction site表示“建筑工地”,babysitter表示“帮人看孩子的人”。第二段第一点中的rural指“农村的”;第三点中的permanently和 admire分别指“永久地”和“羡慕”,receive education指“接受教育”。

(三)Silence Is Gold
1.许多场合中“沉默是金”是正确的 2.但也有例外的情形 3.结论 【范文】
When we talk of the famous proverb “Silence is Gold”, we should not simply label it as right or wrong, but explore it in depth.This proverb is especially true under several situations.First, if we have made a promise not to let out a secret, we should always keep silent.Second, we should avoid talking over facts or statistics of which we are not sure.Third, whenever we are expreing our ideas, brevity is the soul of wit and talking too much will always lead to faults and mistakes.Neverthele, there are also some exceptions.If we find out a flaw in other's speaking or writing, we should not hesitate a moment to point it out.And to friends or acquaintances seeking advice, we should feel free to help them.In a word, we can draw the conclusion that in most cases “silence is gold”, but in certain circumstances, talking is the right choice.【点评】
本文的特色在于其并未完全 肯定或完全否定所提到的谚语,而是从正、反两个方面去分析,即第二段指出其正确性,第三段谈例外情况;末段总结,呼应全文。
范文首先提出所要讨论的 谚语“沉默是金”。第二段分三个方面阐述其正确性,即发誓保守秘密,对于不确定的事情要保持沉默,而在表达自己的思想时,力求简洁。第三段指出例外,为别 人指出错误或为朋友等提建议时,不要坚持“沉默是金”。末段总结,呼应第二、三段。
第一段中的label...as...表示“将……看作……”,而 explore...in depth表示“深入探究……”。第二段第一点中的make a promise表示“允诺”,let out a secret表示“泄露秘密”,keep silent表示“保持沉默”;第三点中的brevity is the soul of wit也是个谚语,表示“言贵简洁”。第三段第二点中的acquaintance指“熟人”。

CET-6中阅读理解部分的四篇短文,多为1000词左右的说明文和议论文,内容涉及社会、政治、经济、文化、教育、科技等。从内容上看与四级相比没什么变化,但其篇幅长度和语言形式要比四级难的多。从近两年的阅读短文来看,更趋向于现实性新闻语篇。
考试的重点也从具体的细节理解转向主旨和内涵意义的理解,主要以篇和段的主旨理解和推断为主。这在一定程度上给应试者带来了阅读和理解上的困难。本文拟从语篇和认知心理规律等方面探讨阅读的技巧,从而揭示阅读理解的破题原则和对策。
一、阅读的语篇类型及其结构
从文体学的角度看,语篇在结构上均为正式程度较高的主题说明和论说性短文。篇和段在宏观结构上遵循主题 → 例证、解释、说明、推论 → 总结的篇章组织形式。从篇的结构看,首段多为全篇的主题段,说明全篇讨论的主题及其范围,后续段多为与主题相关的分主题段。而从段的角度看,开头句或结尾句为主题句,阐明一段的主题及其相关说明或论说的范围,中间部分为例证、解释或说明,最后一句为总结句。相对于中文而言, 英语语篇更倾向于采用直接的、直线型结构, 注重时间、空间顺序和严谨的逻辑关系, 围绕段首、段中或段尾的主题句, 进行叙述、例证或逻辑推理分析。下面以2004年6月CET-6试题第二篇阅读理解为例加以说明。
Given the lack of fit between gifted students and their schools, it is not surprising that such students often have little good to say about their school experience.In one study of 400 adults who had achieved distinction in all areas of life, researchers found that three-fifths of these individuals either did badly in school or were unhappy in school.Few MacArthur Prize fellows, winners of the MacArthur Award for creative accomplishment, had good things to say about their precollegiate schooling if they had not been placed in advanced programs.Anecdotal(名人轶事)reports support this.Pablo Picao, Charles Darwin, Mark Twain, Oliver Goldsmith, and William Butler Yeats all disliked school.So did Winston Churchill, who almost failed out of Harrow, an elite British school.About Oliver Goldsmith, one of his teachers remarked, Never was so dull a boy.Often these children realize that they know more than their teachers, and their teachers often feel that these children are arrogant, inattentive, or unmotivated.Some of these gifted people may have done poorly in school because their gifts were not scholastic.Maybe we can account for Picao in this way.But most fared poorly in school not because they lacked ability but because they found school unchallenging and consequently lost interest.Yeats described the lack of fit between his mind and school: Because I had found it difficult to attend to anything le interesting than my own thoughts, I was difficult to teach.As noted earlier, gifted children of all kinds tend to be strong-willed nonconformists.Nonconformity and stubbornne(and Yeat level of arrogance and self-absorption)are likely to lead to conflicts with teachers.When highly gifted students in any domain talk about what was important to the development of their abilities, they are far more likely to mention their families than their schools or teachers.A writing prodigy(神童)studied by David Feldman and Lynn Goldsmith was taught far more about writing by his journalist father than his English teacher.High-IQ children, in Australia studied by Miraca Gro, had much more positive feelings about their families than their schools.About half of the mathematicians studied by Benjamin Bloom had little good to say about school.They all did well in school and took honors claes when available, and some skipped grades.本篇短文的第一段为点题段,而第一句又为点题句,说明该短文的论题为Given the lack of fit between gifted students and their schools, it is not surprising that such students often have little good to say about their school experience.,其中主题为gifted students,述题为the lack of fit between gifted students and their schools;often have little good to say about their school experience。第二段和第三段为论述说明段,说明天才学生和学校教育格格不入背后的原因和由此而产生的主题结果。
每段的第一句均为主题句,说明该段的主题和相关内容。中间部分为研究(study)及名人例证(Pablo Picao, Charles Darwin, Mark Twain, Oliver Goldsmith, and William Butler Yeats),以证明其分段主题。因此,考生必须在语篇的学习过程中,不断地总结其宏观的篇章结构,掌握篇和段的主题层次。在阅读过程中,大致地标出篇和段的层次结构,从而构建整体上的语义连贯形式和框架。
二、概念和命题的衔接与连贯
概念和命题是形成段与篇形式衔接和语义连贯的关键。现代语言学理论认为,同一主题的词汇项或概念往往可以形成同现,构成语篇的衔接和连贯。这种语篇衔接的同现关系由概括词和具体词形成的上下义词、同义词、同一词的不同形式等构成。而储存在大脑中的知识也是以概念的相互激活扩散网络表征形式储存的,与篇的概念形式相吻合。
心理学家认为保存在记忆里的是意义,而意义又是按命题储存在记忆里。命题是能够单独对之判断(真或假)的最小知识单位。一个命题相当于一个意念。一个命题有两个因素:关系项和主项的集合。主项是命题的题目,一般为名词或代词,有时也可以是动词或形容词。关系项即逻辑中所说的谓项,对主项起限制的作用。表示关系的一般是动词、形容词或副词。每个命题的关系项只有一个,而主项则可以多于一个。当关系项为动词时尤为如此。因此,一个概念命题可以形成相关的命题网络,从而构成语篇的语义连贯。阅读的过程就是概念和命题网络的建构过程。
例如上述短文中,与主题gifted students 相关的概念gifted children, gifted people, individuals, prize fellows, winners, high-IQ children, mathematicians, prodigy等构成了同一主题网,把段和篇中的句子衔接起来。而述题have little good to say about their school experience则用either did badly in school or were unhappy in school;had good things to say about their precollegiate schooling;all disliked school; have done poorly in school; had little good to say about school构成了全篇的述题语义连贯网络。形成全文以概念主题gifted students为命题主项,述题串为谓项的语义连贯网。因此,阅读过程中,勾勒出这些相关的概念和命题网络,有利于对全篇信息的理解和把握。
三、图式对语篇阅读理解的意义
图式是对过去经验的反映或对过去经验的积极组织,即知识在大脑中的储存单位, 包括各种各样的知识块, 如有关鸟的知识、有关学校、城市、交通、银行、文学、体育、篮球等概括的或具体的系统知识。现代心理学依此发展了合适图式的激活和特定图式细节的重建理论,前者主要揭示对图式的熟悉程度在阅读过程中所产生的影响。研究发现当人们缺乏一个与正在展开的故事相适应的图式时, 理解和记忆都会很困难, 因为他们无法了解所描述的事件的含义。而后者则指激活的图式可以作为提取计划, 而且由于图式的中心作用, 帮助人们归纳某些重要细节。在语篇信息的处理过程中, 熟悉的图式往往可以引导读者对中心信息的理解和记忆。以此为基础,认知心理学提出了自上而下和自下而上的阅读理论。前者指读者充分利用大脑中储存的各类相关知识推测上下文中可能出现的相关信息,后者指逐词逐句理解,逐步掌握全篇信息,适用于语言水平较低的读者。对语篇背景知识的了解,不同程度地影响阅读理解的效果。例如,读者在理解上述短文第一句的同时,可以依据自己了解的相关知识,在阅读理解的过程中,推断与主题天才和学校教育相关的信息。
四、语篇问题的形式及解读
CET-6 阅读理解题部分的考题以主旨题和细节题为主,考生可先读题以确定题型,而后依据问题中相关的词汇项找出其在短文中的位置,结合上下文理解与问题相关的信息。主旨题可在段首或首段中寻找,结合后续的论述和例证找出答案。而答案项中,往往有与段中原句相近的词汇表达,读者可以解读与原句相近的解释项来确定正确答案。再以2004年6月CET-6试题第二篇阅读理解中的问题为例:
26.The main point the author is making about schools is that________.A)they should satisfy the needs of students from different family backgrounds B)they are often incapable of catering to the needs of talented students C)they should organize their claes according to the students ability D)they should enroll as many gifted students as poible 此题为主旨判断题。从题中的point...about schools可以确定是全篇的主题,具体地讲,可以从第一段第一句或全段内容去判断,也可从全文各段的主题推断。阅读过程中,若能从勾勒概念与命题的语义网络中判断,则更有利于答案的确定,B项正确。
27.The author quotes the remarks of one of Oliver Goldsmiths teachers________.A)to provide support for his argument B)to illustrate the strong will of some gifted children C)to explain how dull students can also be succeful D)to show how poor Olivers performance was at school 此题为典型的事例要点说明题。这类题的答案通常在实例前或后的主题或总结句中,或就是对语篇组织结构知识的判断,即测试考生对段落各部分之间关系的理解和判断,故选择A项。30.The root cause of many gifted students having bad memories of their school years is that ________.A)their nonconformity brought them a lot of trouble B)they were seldom praised by their teachers C)school courses failed to inspire or motivate them D)teachers were usually far stricter than their parents 此题为短文主旨的理解判断。这类题需要注意的是答案选项中具体与概括的区别,因为答案选项中都有与主题相关的内容,但只是反映了其中的一面。因此,重要的是从选项中找出具有概括性的主题陈述。此类题通常要从各段的主题句或总结句中理解和把握。
五、结束语
总之,与四级和考研等应试中的阅读理解一样,考生既要注意背景知识的积累,又要掌握阅读中词、句、篇的相互关系。阅读过程中,标示出全篇各段主题句及概念和命题的衔接和连贯网络,清晰突显全篇的语义结构,从而把握全篇概括与具体的语义信息。
