第三讲 怎样跳出“大众分”——词汇要“美”,妙语要“多”
在高考阅卷时,一份作文往往在1分钟内就被判定生死。大众化的词汇、平庸的表达已使长时间工作的阅卷老师产生了视觉疲劳,如果一篇作文中突然出现几个与众不同、让人眼前一亮的词汇,老师的给分也绝不会吝啬!
[写作技法指导]
高考英语书面表达评分标准对第五档的要求有这样一段话:语法结构或词汇方面有些许错误,但为尽力使用较复杂结构或较高级词汇所致。由此可以看出,高考英语书面表达要求考生尽量使用较复杂结构或较高级词汇。
何为较高级词汇?众所周知,词汇本来并没有“高低贵贱”之分,但某个词一旦得到使用,放在了具体语境中,使用得极为得当,体现了该词的美妙价值,为句子增色,让文章添彩,它就是较高级词汇;相反,使用时体现的价值平平,没有创意,它就是较低级词汇。
巧用4招,实现由低级向高级的转化
1.“语”众不同,避免人云亦云
写作时恰当得体地使用别人可能想不到的词汇或表达,会给阅卷老师耳目一新的感觉。
①If you want to apply for membership,you are asked to fill in the application form and send an email to pingpong 123.com.
→If you want to apply for membership you are required to fill in the application form and send an email to pingpong 123.com (2017·全国卷Ⅲ)

⑦Successfully,I have helped her in several English activities of my class,which have been appreciated by both teachers and classmates.
→Successfully,I have lent a helping hand to her in several English activities of my class,which have been appreciated by both teachers and classmates.
2.更新换代,避免重复
写作时应尽量避免重复使用相同的词语,要用贴切多样的词语来展示自己的水平。用词不同、表达方式迥异,以此彰显你驾驭语言的能力。
①Apart from regular training,our team will join in a variety of activities, such as joining in some national competitions on behalf of our school.
→Apart from regular training, our team will join in a variety of activities, such as participating in some national competitions on behalf of our school. (2017·全国卷Ⅲ)

③We may have different opinions in organizing class activities.We may have different ways to deal with such a situation.
→We may have different opinions in organizing class activities.We may have various ways to deal with such a situation. (2015·浙江卷)
3.单词与短语巧妙互用
一般情况下短语优先,应多使用词组、习语来代替一些单词,以增加文采。但有时单词比短语更生动,可以“一词传神”。
①Consequently, some viewers began to turn away from cinemas, causing a slower growth.
→As a consequence, some viewers began to turn away from cinemas,leading to a slower growth. (2017·江苏卷)
②I want to tell you something about my plan for the summer vacation and I’d like you to help me.

⑤I sincerely hope that you will consider my suggestions.
→I sincerely hope that you will take my suggestions into account. (浙江卷)

①Firstly,what I want to stress is that we are about to start our next lesson in classroom 8 of the Teaching Building at 10 am next Friday.
→To start with, what I intend to stress is that we are about to start our next lesson in classroom 8 of the Teaching Building at 10 am next Friday. (2017·全国卷Ⅰ)
