盡管新高考英語(yǔ)寫(xiě)作第二節(jié)有了讀后續(xù)寫(xiě),但寫(xiě)作的第一節(jié),同原高考的書(shū)面表達(dá)一樣,依然是高考語(yǔ)言技能中的一個(gè)重要組成部分。它要求考生根據(jù)所給的情景,用英語(yǔ)寫(xiě)一篇約80詞的短文(原高考書(shū)面表達(dá)是約100詞)。從近幾年高考英語(yǔ)書(shū)面表達(dá)來(lái)看,考得最多的是書(shū)信、郵件、發(fā)言稿、通知、投稿等。內(nèi)容與考生的學(xué)習(xí)和生活密切相關(guān)。只要你能用初中學(xué)過(guò)的單詞和句型按要求表達(dá)完所有要點(diǎn),就可以拿到六成的分?jǐn)?shù)。但是如果你想要獲得高分或滿分,就須恰當(dāng)運(yùn)用一些高中詞匯和高級(jí)句型來(lái)表達(dá)了。下面筆者談?wù)勗鯓訉?xiě)出精彩的高分作文。
一、巧用高級(jí)句型,彰顯語(yǔ)言能力
1. 同位語(yǔ)
同位語(yǔ)通常由一個(gè)名詞或名詞短語(yǔ)充當(dāng),用以解釋或補(bǔ)充說(shuō)明它前面的一個(gè)名詞。寫(xiě)作中介紹或涉及人物、地點(diǎn)、場(chǎng)館、景點(diǎn)、古跡、書(shū)籍、影片、體育項(xiàng)目等等,都可能用到同位語(yǔ)。
[例1]知道你們英語(yǔ)報(bào)社在為Best Helper Award挑選人選,我迫不及待地推薦交流生Tom,他總是樂(lè)于助人。
Learning that your English newspaper is selecting someone for the Best Helper Award, I cant wait to recommend Tom, an exchange student, who is always ready to help others.
2. 非謂語(yǔ)動(dòng)詞
即恰當(dāng)運(yùn)用現(xiàn)在分詞短語(yǔ)、過(guò)去分詞短語(yǔ)、不定式短語(yǔ)和動(dòng)名詞短語(yǔ)。其中,最常用也最能體現(xiàn)寫(xiě)作功底的是現(xiàn)在分詞短語(yǔ)。
(1)現(xiàn)在分詞短語(yǔ)
[例2]我從報(bào)紙上得知北京冬奧會(huì)需要一些英語(yǔ)志愿者,我特意寫(xiě)信申請(qǐng)當(dāng)志愿者。

Located(=Lying)in northwest Beijing, the Old Summer Palace is the most magnificent royal garden of the Qing Dynasty.
(3)不定式短語(yǔ)
[例5]要更好地了解這個(gè)劇本,你可以在網(wǎng)上搜查一下,對(duì)它的背景了解更多。
To have a better understanding of the play, you can search the Internet and learn more about its background.

(4)動(dòng)名詞短語(yǔ)
[例8]盼望著很快收到你的來(lái)信。
Looking forward to hearing from you soon.
3. 強(qiáng)調(diào)句型
即“It is/was +被強(qiáng)調(diào)部分+that+其余部分”句型,除謂語(yǔ)外,各個(gè)成分均可用此句型強(qiáng)調(diào)。
[例9]就是李老師的鼓勵(lì)和幫助讓我有了自信心。
It was Mr. Lis encouragement and help that made me have self-confidence.
4. 倒裝句
在寫(xiě)作中用得最多的是以下兩個(gè)倒裝句型:
(1)“only +狀語(yǔ)”位于句首的部分倒裝句
[例10]只有通過(guò)改變我們的生活方式我們才能保護(hù)環(huán)境。
Only by changing the way we live can we protect the environment.
(2)not only...but also...連接兩個(gè)并列句時(shí),not only后的這個(gè)分句用部分倒裝。
[例11]這次活動(dòng)受到了師生的高度評(píng)價(jià),因?yàn)樗粌H是一次鍛煉的機(jī)會(huì),而且還是考生培養(yǎng)團(tuán)隊(duì)精神合適的場(chǎng)合。

可以含蓄表達(dá)虛擬條件的有詞but for(要不是), without(如果沒(méi)有), or, otherwise(否則)等。
[例13]沒(méi)有/要不是你慷慨的幫助,我可能就會(huì)輟學(xué)了。
Without / But for your generous help, I could have dropped out of school.
6. 三大從句
是指定語(yǔ)從句、名詞性從句和狀語(yǔ)從句。其中,定語(yǔ)從句跟漢語(yǔ)的表達(dá)方式不同,掌握起來(lái)相對(duì)較難,恰當(dāng)運(yùn)用定語(yǔ)從句,尤其是非限制性定語(yǔ)從句,更能彰顯考生的語(yǔ)言能力。
(1)定語(yǔ)從句
包括使用限制性、非限制性定語(yǔ)從句。

[例29]As the saying goes,“Every coin has two sides”。俗話說(shuō)“凡事都有兩面”。
二、妙用銜接詞語(yǔ),確保行文流暢
能使篇章渾然一體的就是恰當(dāng)使用銜接詞。這些銜接詞在句與句之間、段與段之間起承上啟下的作用,使文章前后連貫、結(jié)構(gòu)緊湊、過(guò)渡自然,從而提升表達(dá)的層次,成為增分的亮點(diǎn)。
1. 表示起始與時(shí)間順序銜接詞

三、規(guī)范工整譽(yù)寫(xiě),提升作文檔次
Your handwriting counts! 規(guī)范工整的書(shū)寫(xiě),會(huì)讓閱卷老師為你的作文提高一個(gè)檔次。所以平時(shí)要舍得花點(diǎn)時(shí)間練好英文書(shū)法,養(yǎng)成規(guī)范書(shū)寫(xiě)的好習(xí)慣,你的作文就會(huì)在蕓蕓眾生中脫穎而出。
