高考英语作文---拿高分的技巧和注意事项
把英语句子写活,凸显文章亮点常用的 10 种方法
写作时,如果仅局限在把内容交代清楚的水准上,只选用一些普通的、直截了当的词,
或一律使用简单句平铺直叙,那么,这样写出来的文章就会像一碗白开水,呆板、单调,
没有可读性。要使文章耐人寻味,有深度,同学们就应尝试使用一引起高级词汇或句型,
以凸显文章的亮点,使文章增添文采,给读者(尤其是阅卷留下深刻印象)。具体说来,
同学们可尝试以下方法:
一、灵活改变句子开头
在通常情况下,英语句子的排列方式为“主语+谓语+宾语”,即主语位于句子开头。但若
根据情况适当改变句子的开头方式,比如使用倒状语或以状语开头等,会使文章增强表
现力。如:
1. There stands an old temple at the top of the hill.
→ At the top of the hill there stands an old temple.
在小山顶上有一座古庙。
2. You can do it well only in this way.
→ Only in this way can you do it well.
只有这样你才能把它做好。
3. A young woman sat by the window.
→ By the window sat a young woman.
窗户边坐着一个年轻妇女。
4. The door opened and Mr Smith came in.
→ The door opened and in came Mr Smith.
门开了,史密斯先生走了进来。
二、避免重复使用同一词语
为了使表达更生动,更富表现力,同学们在写作时应尽量避免重复使用同一词语来表示
同一意思,尤其是一些老生常谈的词语。如有的同学一看到“喜欢”二字,就会立刻想起
like,事实上,英语中表示类似意思的词和短语很多,如 love, enjoy, prefer, appreciate, be
fond of, care for 等。如:
1. I like reading while my brother likes watching television.
→ I like reading while my brother enjoys watching television.
三、合理使用省略句
合理恰当地使用省略句,不仅可以使文章精练、简洁,而且会使文章更具文采和可读性。
如:
1. He may be busy. If he’s busy, I’ll call later. If he is not busy, can I see him now?
→ He may be busy. If so, I’ll call later. If not, can I see him now?
他可能很忙,要是这样,我以后再来拜访。要是不忙,我现在可以见他吗?
2. If the weather is fine, we’ll go. If it is not fine, we’ll not go.
→ If the weather is fine, we’ll go. If not, not.
如果天气好,我们就去;如果天气不好,我们就不去了。
3. She could have applied for that job, but she didn’t do so.
→ She could have applied for that job, but she didn’t.
她本可申请这份工作的,但她没有。
四、适当运用非谓语结构
非谓语结构通常被认为是一种高级结构,适当运用非谓语结构,会给人一种熟练驾驭语
言的印象。如:
1. When he heard the news, they all jumped for joy.
→ Hearing the news, they all jumped for joy.
听了这消息他们都高兴得跳了起来。
2. As I didn’t know her address, I wasn’t able to get in touch with her.
→ Not knowing her address, I wasn’t able to get in touch with her.
由于不知道她的地址,我没法和她联系。
3. As he was born into a peasant family, he had only two years of schooling.
→ Born into a peasant family, he had only two years of schooling.
他出生农民家庭,只上过两年学。
五、结合使用长句与短句
在英语写作中,过多地使用长句或过多地使用短句都不好。正确的做法是,根据实际情
况在文章中交替使用长句与短语,使文章显得错落有致,这样不仅使文章在形式上增加
美感,而且使文章读起来铿锵有力。如:
At noon we had a picnic lunch in the sunshine. Then we had a short rest. Then we began to
play happily. We sang and danced. Some told stories. Some played chess.
→ At noon we had a picnic lunch in the sunshine. After a short rest, we had great fun singing
and dancing, telling jokes and playing chess.
中午我们晒着太阳吃野餐。休息一会儿后,我们唱的唱歌,跳的跳舞,还有的讲笑话、
下棋,大家玩得很开心。
六、适当使用短语代替单词

→ He has made up his mind to be a teacher when he grows up.
他已决定长大了当老师。
2. He doesn't like music.

→ Sometimes I came across Jane in the supermarket.

4. He told me that the question was now under discussion.
→ He told me that the question was now being discussed.
他告诉我问题现正正在讨论中。
七、恰当套用某些固定表达

→ He was too tired to walk any farther.
他太累了,不能再往前走了。
2. The film was very interesting. Both the teachers and the students liked it.

3. Your son is old. He can look after himself now.
→ Your son is old enough to look after himself now.

八、综合使用各类所谓的“高级”结构

现在人人都知道这消息了,我想一定是吉姆把它泄露出去的。
2. We had to stand there to catch the offender.
→ What we had to do was (to) stand there, trying to catch the offender.

→ Her pronunciation is as good as, if not better than, her teacher’s.
如果她的语音不比她的老师好的话,至少也不会比她老师的差。
九、适当使用名言警句点缀
在写作时根据实际情况恰当地用上一两句名言警句来点缀文章,不仅使文章显得有深度、
有智慧,而且会让文章在评分中上一个“得分档次”。通常在写作中用得着的名言警句

高考英语作文五点注意事项
( 一 ) 仔细审题,确定要点。
在开始写作前一定要认真阅读题目中的所有信息 ( 中文提示、图示、注意事项等 ) 把
需要表达的全部信息要点列成提纲,列要点时,如果提示是图表,要认真审图,从图中
找出要表达的信息要点,如事件发生的背景,人物的衣着、表情、动作、位置、年龄、
外貌、图中的英汉文字等,如果有参考词汇,一定要用上。
( 二 ) 根据要点,先词组句。
近年来高考书面表达的要求不断提高,高分文章要有较多的词汇,较高级的词汇用法。
比如:表达 “ 丰富的 ” 可以用 rich, 但如果你用 abundant 这个词就属于较高级的词
汇。
再比如: “ 他强调小心驾驶的重要 ” 这个句子。
He emphasized the importance of careful driving.
其中 “ 强调 ” 这个词如果你用 attach much importance to 效果更佳。
( 三 ) 确定时态及人称,内容连贯,结构紧凑。
高考书面表达评分标准明确规定,如人称错误要扣分,不同的文体一般都有基本时态。
日记通常记叙发生过的事情,多用一般过去时。
议论文多用一般现在时。
通知等文体通常用一般将来时。
每个句子写好之后,句与句之间要选择恰当的连接词。
比如:
(1) 表示承接、递进用语, besides( 并且 ) 、 what's more( 并且 ) , moreover( 而
且 ) , firstly, secondly, finally( 最后 ) , from now on ( 从此 ) , after wards ( 后
来 ) , to make things worse/ what's worse( 使事情更为糟糕的是 ) , the worst thing of
all( 最糟糕的是 ) 。
(2) 表示转折关系用语。 otherwise, though, despite, in spite of...( 尽管 )on the other
hand( 另一方面 ) , as( 尽管 ) , all the same( 尽管如此 ) 。
(3) 表示因果关系用语。 because/because of......for( 因为 ) , owing to ( 由于 ) ,
thanks to ( 由于 ) , due to ( 由于 ) , so that ( 结果 ) 。
(4) 归纳总结用语。 in short/in a word( 简而言之 ) , on the whole( 从总体看 ) ,
generally speaking( 一般说来 ) , in my view( 我的观点 ) , in conclusion( 总之 ) 。
( 四 ) 句式丰富,避免单词。
英语书面表达评分标准要求, “ 应使用较复杂结构 ” ,这要求学生不仅会运用基本句
型,也要有意识地使用复杂句型,这是文章的亮点。
如何使用复杂结构,适当运用非谓语结构 ( 分词短语、动名词或不定式短语 ) 适当运
用各种从句 ( 定语从句、名词性从句、状语从句 ) 是有效途径。
例如: when he arrived in Beijing, he gave me an e-mail.( 时间状语从句。一般 )
改为: On arriving in Beijing, he gave me an e-mail.
Having arrived in Beijing, he gave me an e-mail. ( 使用了动名词,分别作状语。高级 )
Hardly had he arrived in Beijing when he gave me an e-mail. ( 改变时态,句子结构。高级 )
例如: I won't believe what he says. ( 一般 )
改为: No matter what he says, I won't believe.( 让步状从句,高级 ) 。
( 五 ) 注意书写,卷面整洁。
高考书面表达评分标准中对书写有较高要求。尤其是进行网上阅卷,如果书写较差,会
影响到扫描质量,因此,考生在答卷时,一定要认真、清楚规范地书写,以保卷面整洁。
