由于专硕近年来报考人数同比上升,英语二的考生也大大增加。之前相信许多英语二的考生都是和英语一考生同法备考的,冲刺期,考生们要及时回归到英语二的备考上面。近日一男教授在微博中说,强烈地预感,英语二作文会考某类产品使用变化对比,或者某种消费习惯变化对比。
下表是自2010年起考研英语分出英语二科目后,英语二的历年大作文考题:
2010 | 发达国家与发展中国家手机用户数量的变化 | 柱状图 |
2011 | 国产、日系、美系品牌汽车在2008年和2009年销售情况的变化 | 柱状图 |
2012 | 某公司员工工作满意度调查 | 表格 |
2013 | 某高校学生大一到大四兼职情况 | 柱状图 |
2014 | 20年间中国城镇人口、乡村人口变化图 | 柱状图 |
通过上面的表格,我们不难看出英语二的大作文一般都是以图表对比的形式考查考生英语的综合应用能力,这就需要考生在平日的备考中,多积累对比类词汇、短语、句子,以便在考场上写出优秀文章,同时考生一定要将这五年真题首先自己在规定时间内完成一轮,对比真题的参考范文,仔细查找不足,如果时间富裕的话,可背诵参考范文或其中的闪光句型、词汇,以为自己所用。下面我们以2010年真题“发达国家与发展中国家手机用户数量的变化对比”这道题目,来学习对比类文章的写法。
Directions: In this section, you are asked to write an essay based onthe following chart. In your writing, you should Interpret the chartand Give your comments.You should write at least 150 words.Write youressay on on ANSWER SHEET 2. (15 points)
对于一篇佳作的完成,首先要求内容完整。即将图表内容最能表现命题老师所要表达的主旨内容描述到位,考生不能仅仅局限于罗列出数字本身,更要注意通过图表中的对比类词汇,挖掘数字背后的现象,将对比的数字进行总结和升华。考生还要注意运用各种衔接词汇及短语使内容连贯,层次分明,便于阅卷老师阅读和理解。此外要注意文中不要存在语法错误。
就本题来说,考生在第一段要简洁描述出图表揭示的主旨,即指出00至08年发展中国家的手机用户和发达国家手机用户数量的变化趋势背后所反映的趋势,接下来要简洁明快的描述出主旨,切忌繁琐,要注意主旨为主,描述图表为辅。第二段要从分析手机用户数量趋势变化成因的角度进行,是整篇作文的重心,考生要发散思维列举两到三个形成变化的原因。在文章结尾处,要简明扼要的总结论述,同时发表自己的见解,预测未来趋势。
参考范文如下:
In this chart, we can see the mobile phone subscriptions in developed countries have a steady and slight increase from 1990 to 2007 and then remain constant in 2008. Meanwhile the mobile phone subscriptions in developing countries have witnessed a slow increase from 1990 to 2004 and then a great surge from 2004 to 20007: the biggest surge happens from 2005 to 2006.
This chart reflects different developing modes of mobile phone industry in developed and developing countries. The developed countries have a limited number of populations, most of whom are well-educated. Therefore, the spreading of the mobile phone service is efficient and soon the market is saturated. Also at the beginning the developed countries have more people who can afford this service. The developing countries have a large population who keeps a large demand for mobile service. As the mobile phone service becomes cheaper and cheaper, the increasing customers subscribe to benefit from this service。
As discussed above, it is not surprising to see this change. In my opinion, this trend that the number of mobile-phone subscriptions is increasingly increasing will continue for a while in the future。
通过今天的学习,相信各位考生都会通过本文提高“对比类”文章的关注度,为考场上积累优秀的闪光素材。考试将近,唯有全力以赴!预祝各位考生金榜题名!
