2、描述數(shù)字變化的常用句型及詞匯
趨勢寫作 identify trend
12個單詞 + 3個句式 + 4個連接詞
a、12個單詞
趨勢 |
描述單詞 |
注意事項 |
上升 |
grow, climb, soar |
1.其中“soar”和“sink”為極限詞匯,不能添加任何修飾; 2.在句子和文章中,事實上很少用到上述動詞的原型,相反使用最多的是它們的“過去式”,以及對應的名詞; 3.上升和下降需要和數(shù)字建立連接,可供選擇的介詞to, by, of ??? To 配合動詞和名詞,表示“達到” ??? By/of 表示“變化了”;by跟在動詞后面,而of跟在名詞后面 |
下降 |
drop, fall, sink |
|
平穩(wěn) |
stay unchanged at+不變的值 |
? |
波動 |
varybetween…and…(兩個極值;名詞fluctuation between…and… |
? |
程度 |
dramatically (significantly)劇烈的;progressively (gradually)逐漸的;slightly (slowly)緩慢的 |
表中所提供的單詞均為“副詞”,需搭配動詞使用;如果需要搭配、修飾“名詞”,則上述的詞匯應變?yōu)椤靶稳菰~”,即:dramatic, progressive, slight ? |
b、3個重要的句式:
例句:在2005年到2006年間,當澳洲當?shù)氐乃Musage charge增加了每千升per kiloliter 0.25元。(看看下面的三種不同表達形式)
(1)主謂句(強調(diào)量詞的變化)
The usage charge in Australia grew by $0.25 per kiloliter during 2005-2006.
(2) 主謂賓句(強調(diào)量詞的變化,詞性變化)
The usage charge in Australia had a growth of $0.25 per kiloliter between 2005 and 2006.
(3) 被動句(強調(diào)變化本身)
A growth of $0.25 per kiloliter was found in the usage charge in Australia over 1 year to Year 2006.
NB: 表示時間的變化,常用的手法
From…to…; between…and…; during…-…; for/over時間差to終止時間
c、4個連接詞
第一種:一個對象在不同時期的變化(時間變化),before /, after which
第二種:不同對象的比較 similarly (= The similar pattern is found in…) / however (In contrast,)
當不是特別能夠確定圖表的具體數(shù)值時,我們可以在數(shù)字前加上about, around, nearly, approximately, or so等一些比較模糊的副詞修飾。
看一道例題:
During 1979- 1999, visits overseas by UK residents, about 12 million in 1979, had a growth to nearly 52 million. The similar pattern was found in visits to the UK by international residents from around 10 million to 30 million. 6.5分
UK residents, about 12 million in 1979, had a growth to nearly 52 million. The similar pattern was found in visits to the UK by international residents from around 10 million to 30 million, but climbing slower than the former. 7分
In 1979, visits abroad by UK residents, 2 million more than those to the UK by overseas residents, was 12 million, after which a dramatic rise to nearly 52 million was found in 1999, when the similar pattern was seen in the visits to the UK by international residents to nearly 30 million. 8分
NB:高分的內(nèi)容應該是信息量較大的,而且處處充斥著比較和對比的感覺。在一個句子中,充分利用“插入語-解釋和補充”,以及非限制性定語從句來補充其他的內(nèi)容,最后利用similarly或however進行比較。
