第四节 图表作文 1.写作攻略 图表作文是考研英语写作中较为常见的题型之一,也是难度较大的一种写作题型。这类作文可综合提供题目、数据、图像、提纲,形式多样,但实际上只涉及5个方面:描述图表
(1)考生应仔细研究题目以及提示信息,认清图表中的数字、线条、阴影等部分的变化趋势和走向,抓住其主要特点,然后根据图表所显示的中心信息确定内容层次以及主题句。 (2)考生应该仔细研究图表所给出的大量信息,从中选取最重要,最有代表性的信息,然后根据全文的主旨去组织运用所获取的关键信息。切忌简单地罗列图表所给出的信息。 (3)图表作文一般采用的时态为一般现在时,但如果图表中给出了具体时间参照,考生则应对时态进行相应的调整。 (4)图表作文有一些固定句型和表达法,考生应对此融会贯通。 (5)图表作文可以细分为表格,曲线图、柱形图和饼形图。除了上述共同要点,考生还应了解这四种图在写作方面的不同特点。 —— 表格可以表示多种事物的相互关系,所以考生要对表格中所给出的大量数字进行比较分析,从中找出其变化规律。 —— 曲线图常表示事物的变化趋势,考生应认真观察坐标系所显示的数据信息,并且密切注意交汇在坐标横轴和纵轴上的数字及单位。 —— 柱形图用来表示各种事物的变化情况及相互关系,要求考生通过宽度相等的柱形的高度或长度差别来判断事物的动态发展趋势,因此考生应密切关注坐标线上的刻度单位及图表旁边的提示说明与文字。 —— 饼形图表示各事物在总体中所占的比例及相互关系,旨在要求考生准确理解并阐述一个被分割成大小不等切片的饼形图所传达的信息。考生应清楚掌握部分与整体,部分与部分之间的相互关系,这种关系通常是以百分比的数字形式给出的。 (6)列出各段主题句。考生可以根据所给提纲或已知信息列出每段的主题句,为全文的展开做好铺垫。 (7)围绕主题句完成段落的展开。尽量做到主题明确、条理清楚、文字简练。 (8)检查与修改。对图表作文的检查与修改应着重看文章中所列举的信息是否与图表所显示的信息一致,资料是否恰当。 2.必背模版句型 As can be seen from/in the chart/diagram/table/graph... 从表格/图形中我们可以看到…… The table shows a three times increase over that of last year. 表格显示比去年上升了3倍。 According to /As is shown in the Table /Figure/Chart... 如表格/图表中显示…… The number is 5 times as much as that of... 此数字是……的5倍。 It has increased by three times as compared with that of ... 同……相比,增长了3倍。 It can be seen from the chart/diagram/table/graph/figures/statistics that... 从表格/图表/数据中我们可以看到…… From the table/figures/data/results/information above, it can/may be seen/concluded/shown/estimated/calculated/inferred that... 从以上的表格/图表/数据/结果/信息中,我们可以看到/总结/预测/计算/得出…… A has the highest sales figure in the three departments, followed by B and C. 在3个部门中,A的销售额最高,其次是B和C。 The figure of A is about twice as much as that of B.

Write a report describing the information shown below. Road accidents in Britain when/where accidents occurredAge 2-4Age 5-7Age 8-11Age 11-13Age 14-16TOTAL Going to school21383127 Going home from school21692231 Playing in the street89812651202 Cycling into the street110259247 Shopping for their parents432132152 TOTAL9815281217359 The chart above organizes data about road accidents involving children in Britain by and by when and where the accidents occurred. It can be seen that the incidence of accidents decreases as the childrens age increase and that age correlates with the circumstances surrounding the accident. For all ages, the most common situation leading to accident is playing in the street but young children were particularly affected. Children between the ages of 5-7 seemed to get into accidents while engaged in activities appropriate to their age, such as shopping for their parents or going home from school. In fact, this age group accounted for the most road accidents of all. Children between 8 and age 11 had the most accidents cycling in the street. After age 11, the number of accidents dropped considerably in all situations. From the chart, we get to know that playing in the street is the most common and universal site of accidents of all ages, but the risks that other sites and situations present vary with the childrens ages. 题目:表格给出了英国在不同地点和不同年龄段的人所发生的交通事故。请描述一下这个表格。 译文 上面的图表中的数据反映了英国不同年龄段的孩子在不同地点发生交通事故的情况。我们可以看到随着年龄的增长,孩子出现交通事故的次数在不断下降,而且年龄段与发生事故的地点也有关系。 就所有的年龄段看,最容易出现事故的情况是在马路上玩耍,尤其是对那些年龄小的孩子。处在5至7岁之间的孩子在做适合他们年龄段的事情时,比如替父母上街买东西,或者从学校回家,也很容易出事。事实上,这个年龄段的孩子发生事故最多。8至11岁的孩子在街上骑车最容易发生事故。11岁以后,在所有场合的事故发生都有所减少。 从表中我们知道,对所有的年龄段的孩子来说,在马路上玩耍都是最容易发生事故的,但是其他情况的危险性则随着年龄的变化而不同。 更多信息请访问:新浪考研频道 |
