社會(huì)發(fā)展類,一直都是一個(gè)大類別,大體上說(shuō)包含了如全球化,老齡化,家庭倫理,城市發(fā)展等方面。本次考題,毫無(wú)疑問(wèn)是涉及城市發(fā)展類的話題。隨著城市化的加劇,城市中僅存的那點(diǎn)空地該被如何利用已然成為了一個(gè)熱門話題。 題干中給出了兩個(gè)關(guān)鍵點(diǎn)。其一為用空地種樹,其二為利用空地開發(fā)建房。本題是將兩者比較之后得出一個(gè)明確的結(jié)論,哪個(gè)方案才更好。
Some people think it is more important to plant trees in open spaces in towns and cities than building houses in these spaces. To what extent do you agree or disagree? 20160827
Open spaces in cities and town have become rather precious unprecedentedly due to the fact that majority of cities and towns are far more congested than before. The populace, consequently, concern about how to utilize the limited open spaces, and either planting trees or constructing accommodations there is a wise choice.
本段共有兩句話。第一句是一如既往地引言。通過(guò)一個(gè)現(xiàn)象的描述引出本文討論的重點(diǎn)。第二句就順理成章地點(diǎn)明主題。本段中并未表達(dá)筆者觀點(diǎn)。
For one thing, it is fairly evident that planting trees can elevate circumstance where people are living. Initially, trees can function as air purifiers, thus improving air quality in urban areas. Forestation in urban areas cannot only provide local residents with places for relaxation, but also promote urban landscapes that the public think is able to relax the local mentally. After working busily for 8 or 9 hours every day, people surely like spending their free time in walking in the park with a great number of trees or standing in their balconies with watching a huge piece of wood downstairs.
本段著重討論題干中給出的第一個(gè)方案,就是用空地種樹。本段先是羅列了種樹的好處。隨后又用例子生動(dòng)地例證了這些種樹的優(yōu)勢(shì)。
For another, people on the side of building houses suppose that it is an imperative tendency that cities ought to accommodate the increasing population according to two key reasons, the boom of population and the movement of population from rural areas to urban areas. Nevertheless, what they neglect is that this trend can only bring about negative consequences to people’s life. High density of population can definitely arouse congestion of transport in cities and shortage of social resources. By analogy, low quality of life is what the local can only enjoy living in cities with huge population.
與上段相互對(duì)應(yīng),本段重點(diǎn)討論另外一個(gè)方案,利用空地建房?,F(xiàn)實(shí)說(shuō)明了為什么會(huì)有人支持這一觀點(diǎn)。再將這一觀點(diǎn)反駁掉。本段寫法俗稱為“讓步段”。這樣,本文筆者的觀點(diǎn)就表達(dá)的非常明確了。
On the basis of the above discussion, what our cities and towns need is trees rather than growing housing and mounting population.
由于之前主段觀點(diǎn)非常明確,因此結(jié)尾言簡(jiǎn)意賅地總結(jié)了全文。清晰地表達(dá)了筆者的觀點(diǎn)。
在以往的城市發(fā)展類別的考試中,還有如下幾個(gè)方面的問(wèn)題需要考生們?cè)趥淇茧A段重視起來(lái)。
