语气的作用!

的句型中加入一些变化也可以使文章耳目一新,巧用被动语态中的一些固定用法,或者注意
被动相结合的句式,可以让相对平实的文章满血复活!

卧龙先生日:倒装是英语写作中的一个重要修辞手法,基本上都学习过,只是不习惯在平时
的写作中使用。其主要作用就是强调,强调各个需要修饰的部分;其次还有一些过渡、描述
等作用,即制造悬念渲染气氛,又平衡句子结构。倒装句的使用不仅丰富了我们的语言表达,
还会提高我们对英语语言的欣赏能力。
状语前置有四种常见形式
1. 表示强调的倒装
1) only+状语或状语从句置于句首,句子部分倒装;
2) not, little, hardly, scarcely, no more, no longer, in no way, never等具有否定意义
的词或词组位于句首,句子部分倒装;
3) so / such…that 结构中的 so / such 位于句首可以构成部分倒装句,强调 so / such
和 that 之间的部分。例如:
Only after he had spoken out the word did he realize he had made a big mistake.
只有当他已经说出那个字后才意识到自己犯了个大错误。
2. 表示过渡衔接的倒装
倒装可以把前一句说到的人或物,或与前一句有联系的人或物在下一句紧接着先说出来,
从而使前后两句在意思上的关系更加清楚,衔接更紧密,起到承上启下的作用。
Not only should the parents spend more time with their children, they should also try
to communicate with their children more often.
父母不仅应该多花时间陪自己的孩子,而且也应该试着多和孩子沟通。
3. 制造悬念,渲染气氛
在写作过程中,有时作者也可以为了内容的需要或者为了强调,运用倒装来制造悬念,
渲染气氛。
Hanging on the wall was a splendid painting.
墙上挂着一幅精美的图画。
Strange as it may seem,parents‘attention sometimes hinders students’ academic
progress.
看起来很奇怪的是,父母的关注有时会阻碍学生的学习进步。
4. 平衡句子结构
1) 当句子以作状语的介词短语作为开头,如果主语较长或主语所带的修饰语较长时,
为了平衡句子结构,常将状语置于句首,句子用完全倒装语序;
2) 以副词 here/there 开头的句子,也可采用完全倒装来保持句子平衡。
On the ground lay some air conditioners, which are to be shipped to some other
cities.
地上放着一些空调,等着用船运到其他城市去。
Here is the letter you have been looking forward to.
你盼望已久的信在这儿。

consistently and deal with success or failure.
卧龙先生日: “排成队”顾名思义就是几个词连用,形成排比。同理,当我们在写作的过程
中,把几个副词进行连用,形成排比,达到气势磅礴的效果,不仅可以拉长句子,而且还能
使句子读起来一气呵成,给阅卷者带来相当强烈的震慑作用。
状语前置有四种常见形式
1. 副词连用于句末
句末两个或两个以上副词进行连用 …v.+adv.+and+adv. / …v.+adv., adv.+and+adv.

路子,从而达到增长与复兴。

world economy on a path of economic growth and renewal that is environmentally
sound and sustainable.
卧龙先生曰:在写作的过程中总会存在某些定式思维,习惯性地在一些情况下使用某些词的
常用词性。其实可以改变词性,这样做可以带来意想不到的效果,除了能“独辟蹊径”地完
成任务,还能让句子呈现出更多样化的效果。
三种“神样”的转换形式
1. 动词与抽象名词之间的相互转换
人们都很焦虑因为传统价值观念正在逐渐消失。
改 变 前 : People are concerned because the traditional values are gradually
disappearing.
改变后:People are concerned about the gradual disappearance of the traditional
values.
可以看出,动词和抽象名词之间的互换往往可以使我们把句子写得更加灵活多样。在此,总
结下类似的作文中常用的一些变化,见下表总结:
V. N. V. N.
improve improvement explore exploration
intend to intention discover discovery
graduate graduation aspire aspiration
decide decision provide provision
2. 形容词和抽象名词之间的相互转换

considerate of other gym members.
可以看出形容词和名词之间的互换也是相当常见,如果可以灵活运用,也能使句子产生
不同的效果。下表列举了较为常见的形容词和名词之间的互换:
Adj. N. Adj. N.
generous generosity disastrous disaster
possible possibility environmental environment
happy happiness governmental government
applicable applicability technological technology
optimistic optimism stable stability

当你被某个人吸引的时候,就意味着你潜意识里被他的潜意识下意识地吸引着。
When you are attracted to someone, it means you are subconsciously attracted
to their subconscious subconsciously.
卧龙先生日:强调是语法学习中比较常用的知识点,语法规则难度不大,但却往往还是不习
惯在写作过程中应用这个语法点。比较常用的强调句型无非就是“It is… that…”或者“It is...
who…”这两种句型,表达出中文“正是……导致了……”的意思,只是强调的部分不同而已。
在写作过程中多尝试运用强调句,也能带来不错的效果。
状语前置有四种常见形式
1. 强调主语
通常使用“It is / was + subject + that / who”的句型来对主语部分进行强调。
However, it is only those who reach the very top of their profession who can get these
huge salaries.
然而,只有那些在他们的职业领域达到高峰的人们才能获得高薪。
2. 强调宾语
通常使用“It is / was + object + that / who”的句型来对宾语部分进行强调。

这个栅栏是汤姆昨天刷白的。
3. 强调地点状语
通常使用“It is + 地点状语 + that”的句型来对地点状语进行强调。
It was not in the street that I saw her.
我不是在街上见到他的。
4. 强调时间状语
通常使用“It is+时间状语+that”;“It is not until+时间状语+that”的句型来对地点
状语进行强调。
It was at midnight that he got home yesterday.
他昨天是半夜到家的。
5. 强调介词短语
通常使用“It is+介词短语+that”的句型来对介词短语部分进行强调。
It was by the end of the last term that we had finished Comprehensive Reading.
直到上个学期末我们才学完了《综合阅读》。
6. 其他强调
当句子中没有其他的助动词时,可以在动词前使用助动词do表示对该动词的强调。
I do hope he will pass the exam this time.
我确实希望他这次可以通过考试。
Not a word did she say during the discussion.
她在讨论中一句话也没说。
— 根据要求翻译下列句子
1. 强调主语
通常都是总统而不是内阁成员向公众提出呼吁。
It is usually the President, not the cabinet, who makes the public appeal.
尽管朋友对青少年的性格塑造肯定有很大的影响,但是父母和兄弟姐妹们对他们性格
的形成会产生更大的影响。

and siblings have a bigger influence.
2. 强调宾语
他昨天在街上碰到的是他的朋友。
It was his friend that he met in the street yesterday.
3. 强调地点状语
他在住的宾馆里找到了他的钱包。
He found his wallet in the hotel where he was staying.
4. 强调时间状语

It could be that the doctor did the operation yesterday.
直到 18 世纪初,这一事件的意义才为公众所熟悉。
It was not until the early 18th century that the significance of the event became
familiar to the public.
5. 强调介词短语
主要是由于运气而不是判断使司机成功地避免了这次车祸。
It was mainly luck, not judgment, that enabled the driver to avoid the accident.
只有在当地导游的帮助下这个登山队员才获救了。
The climber was rescued only with the help of a local guide.
其他强调
在 20 世纪 30 年代汽车行驶速度很慢,但是它们确实比 20 年代的时候要快很多。
Cars were slow in the 1930s, but they were much faster than in the 1920s.
卧龙先生曰:简单说来,就是运用“ (be)+of+抽象名词”的句型,其意思就相当于其中那
个名词所对应的形容词,用来说明某种特征或属性。这种句式其实很好模仿,但是由于我们
总是习惯性地使用形容词,所以平时并不常使用“of+抽象名词”的用法。
— “of”小词显神功
1. Whether people in the developing world are suffering is of no interest to many wealthy
citizens in industrial countries.
工业化国家富裕的居民对发展中国家人们是否生活在苦难中毫无兴趣。
2. I believe the speech will be of important significance to this summit, as well as the
future development of the world media industry.

意义。

those hours.

Water is necessary to sustain life in desert areas.
3. 一些科技,比如致使大规模毁灭的武器有巨大的负面影响。
Some technologies, such as weapons of mass destruction, have enormous
negative effects.
卧龙先生日: 在学习写作的过程中总是习惯性地想要把句子写长,仿佛句子越长就越能体
现出我们的写作水平。当然,写长句确实可以在某些方面体现出 驾驭一些语法点的能力,
但是如果通篇的长句连在一起,会给人冗长繁琐的沉重感。于是,在这种时候学会长短句交
替写作,往往会使人眼前一亮。
— 长短句交替奏响美作之曲
1. Their command of the language in later life will benefit from this early exposure, while
learning other languages subsequently will be easier for them. They may also gain a
better understanding of other cultures.
他们后来掌握语言的能力得益于他们早期的经历,对于他们随后继续学习其他语言会更
容易。他们也可能更好地理解其他的文化。
2. Individuals with this attitude towards life are satisfied with their lives and likely to be
successful because they have followed their own dreams rather than being trapped by
the influence of others. Thus, individuals should be different from others if they are
aim to be successful and joyful in their life.
持有这种生活态度的人往往会对他们的生活比较满意并且更有可能成功,因为他们有着
自己的梦想而不是被他人影响。所以,如果人们想要在生活中获得成功和愉悦,他们应
该和别人不同。
3. Not only does he recall the smell of hospitals, the imprint of pain on the face of
someone who died from smoking, but he would also link these memories intimately
with cigarettes. The recollection of his mistake and its consequences may persuade
him to resist peer pressure to smoke.
他不仅可以回想起医院的味道和死于吸烟的人脸上痛苦的表情,他还会把这些记忆和香

简要描述图片内容;结合生活实际,就图片的主题谈谈自己的感想。
【学生习作参考】(建平,高三)
As is presented in the picture, sitting behind the children, a father commands in a obligating
voice ‘No sleep until you finish learning at midnight’, while holing up-side-down the Chinese
textbook, the child is gazing at the content absent-mindedly.
The picture reminds me of the lst parents’ meeting. A mother complained tearfully to the
class teacher about her child’s declines in achievement. ‘ Every day I supervise him to keep
studying until 2 a.m but how come it gets even worse?’ She couldn’t help crying aloud... The
incident enlightens me that behind a strict face, deep inside the parents’ hearts are still love and
expectations. But unfortunately, concerned parents can’t express themselves properly, thus
resulting in children’s lack of motivation and negative reaction.
Personally speaking, the essence to the problem is mutual understanding. Parents should
communicate with their children in a more understanding and gentle way, which not only makes
children feel their genuine support and love, but also promote their initiatives to study. As for our
students, it is advised to manage our time properly to raise efficiency. Only if we consciously
devote ourselves to study can the situation be improved.

假定你是校英语俱乐部的负责人,需要在英文校报上发表一篇文章,向新生介绍英语俱乐部。
文章需包含以下三个方面内容:
1. 英语俱乐部的宗旨 2. 英语俱乐部的主要活动内容 3. 参加英语俱乐部的益处
To freshmen:
Have you still been considering which club to join in? Then don’t hesitate to seize
(grasp / catch / get hold of) the precious opportunity of being a member of our English
club. Having been a beloved club in our school for many years, now it is considered more
than just a club as it serves as a platform to show you students’ outstanding
(distinguished / extraordinary / exceptional) abilities and help you develop a wide range of
skills. And guess what? Now, we are enrolling new members and we welcome all freshmen to
our club.
Our club aims to create an authentic environment where students can acquire (have /
gain ) a good command of English with great fun. With the get-together of peers who all
love English, your interest and passion for English can certainly be stimulated.
According to what we aim for, we will arrange three main activities in each academic
year. Firstly, appreciating several classical foreign movies on a regular basis is undeniably an
effective way to assist you to practise listening abilities. And it is the concept of combining
education with recreation that has made this activity a well-received one ever since the day
when it was launched. Secondly, apart from improving listening skills, we will also better
your oral English through our monthly English debate. Not only will our debate help you
gain better conversational skills but it can also cultivate (foster / develop / nurture) your
logical thinking. Last but not least, as the biggest event of the year, a book fair lasting for 4
weeks sponsored by our school will be held. And being a member of our club, you will be
guaranteed a free access to all the imported English magazines and books during the book
fair, which keeps yourself constantly exposed to the authentic English material.
If you eventually become one part of us, what you can benefit from our club, besides
what I have coved so far, will certainly beyond your expectation. So instead of being in a
dilemma about which club to join in, why don’t you contact us and make the wise choice
that you won’t regret?
