简单句用得太多,会造成文章读起来乏味。在评卷员看来,同样意思的内容,能够运用比较复杂的句式结构来表达,当然会认为其运用语言的能力要比只会用简单句来表达要强,评分自然就高。
1、巧用非谓语动词
运用非谓语动词,可使文句看起来更简洁,使语言更加丰富多彩,重点更加突出,增加文采。如:
I covered my ears,trying to keep the noise out,but failed. (2004广东卷)
2、巧用with复合结构
“with+名词/代词+现在分词/过去分词/形容词/副词/介词”结构,常作伴随状语以增加被描绘内容的生动性和情感性,使文章读起来更简洁明了。试比较:
I couldn’t go on studying because there was so much noise troubling me. (普通)
I couldn’t go on studying with so much noise troubling me. (高级)
3、巧用复合句
高考评分标准强调使用语法结构的数量和复杂性,鼓励考生尽量使用较复杂的结构,并且对由此产生的错误采取了宽容的态度。如果恰当运用各类从句,就会使文章出彩。
如:(定语从句) What’s more,people have easy access to the Internet,which enables them to send and receive e-mails whenever they like.
4、巧用倒装句、感叹句、强调句、虚拟语气句等
使用这些句式可使文章化平淡为生动,加强语气,使评卷老师感受作者的强烈情感。
(倒装句)Only in this way can Internet Bars be well used by people.
(感叹句)I thought,“How hard mum is working! She must be very tired.”
