1. 主題句作文

試卷上已給出了幾個句子,由于它們通常高度概括或凝聚了全段的主要思想或信息內容,所以可看成這幾個個自然段的主題句。
(2)應試指南
針對這種類型的作文,大家應在主題句的基礎上,用具體實例來加以擴展和襯托,進一步闡明和證實主題句,最終完成一篇文章。
(3)實例分析
1例題
(2007年作文)
Directions:
66. Read the following statement and write and essay on it. In your essay, you should
1) state your opinion, and

2范文
“The man who reads well is the man who thinks well, who has a background for opinion and a stand for judgment.” From this statement we can see that reading is essential for thinking.
We are encouraged to think independently from early ages. Nowadays the creative talents are needed badly. Creativity is advocated as the key factor for development. It seems that thinking is more important. But what is the source of thinking? Only by knowing more can we think more deeply. Reading provides us a basis for thinking and a stand for judgment. The more a man reads, the better a man thinks.
Confucius sets a good example for us. By reading extensively, he set up the Confucian school. Confucianism has been the most influencing ideology in China . All the thoughts and opinions of Confucius must have sources—reading. To sum up, both thinking and reading are important, but reading is more important for it is the basis of thinking. No one can succeed without quick mind. But no one can have a quick mind without reading more.
2. 關鍵詞作文
(1)題型特點
題目已給出,同時附上若干與主題密切相關的詞或短語。
(2)應試指南
注重文章的篇章結構組織、材料攝取和語言表達。
3. 情景作文
(1)題型特點
一般沒有標題,給出一特定的情景。所給出的情景不是以主題句或關鍵詞形式出現,而是對事實的陳述,將文章的中心思想和信息在提供的情景中加以暗示。
(2)應試指南
從情境中去搜尋中心思想,在設置的框架范圍內,充分發揮各自的想象力去發展段落,但不能脫離所給的詞語或提示的情景去自由發揮。
4. 圖表作文
(1)題型特點
圖表作文是借助于圖畫或圖表進行寫作的一種方法。它要求作者將畫面直觀的內容或表格包含的信息轉換成傳神表意的文字形式。此類文章大多給出標題。
(2)應試指南
圖表作文首先應說明該圖表反映的總情況,然后對數字進行分析比較,歸納出增減變化,最后寫出圖表作者的意圖,得出適當的結論。比較而言,圖表作文對考生來講較為陌生,如遇到圖表試題應注意以下幾點:第一,要透過所列出的數值或曲線找出帶有規律性的東西;第二,不必對各種資料和數據逐條描述,要抓住重點;第三,掌握與圖表作文有關的常用詞語和表達法。
