第十二周 用途各异的被动、虚拟语气、倍数和比较句型
被动、虚拟语气、倍数和比较等句型在写作中都属于高级句式,它们的合理运用都能给文章增色添彩。
一、用英文思维的被动语态
英文中被动语态的使用比汉语要多,要普遍。一般说来,当强调动作承受者、不必说出动作执行者或执行者含糊不清时,多用被动语态。被动语态因为更突出客观事实而被广泛使用。所以同学们在写作时也应该注意多用被动语态,以赢得更高的分数。
1.主动语态变被动语态

→To enlarge vocabulary, more native materials should be read.
②They carried out a survey among 260 students.

(1)be+过去分词(be可使用各种时态)

②Luckily she was not badly injured and we sent her to the nearest hospital.(2017·湖北高考短文写作)

(2)情态动词+be+过去分词

为了提高空气质量,应该减少使用私家车。
②As can be seen from the chart, more and more people own mobile phones in China now.

二、委婉动听的虚拟语气
虚拟语气是高中阶段较难掌握的句型之一,在运用时要注意表达的准确性。在高考作文中,常不需要表达不可能实现的非真实条件,而一般表达要求、愿望或者强调论述观点的客观性。
1.陈述语气变虚拟语气

→If I had taken his advice, I wouldn’t have failed in the exam.

第三步让文章浑然天成(用时2周)
俗话说得好:好的开头是成功的一半(Well begun is half done);结尾好,一切都好(All is well that ends well)。一篇英语作文的开头如果写得好,就会给阅卷老师良好的印象,吸引他继续读下去;如果结尾又写得好,就会进一步强化阅卷老师对你所写文章的好感。如果再利用好衔接词汇使文章流畅自然,那么高分作文离我们还会远吗?
