高中英语必修4Module 4 Great Scientists 例题解析
例1书面表达
某学校对中学生课余活动进行了调查，结果如下。

请根据图表1提供的信息描述学生每天的课余活动，并针对图表2中任何一个数据所反映的情况写出你的一个看法。

词数不少于60。

生词：chart图表
图表１
图表2
思路解析
短文应包括下列内容：
1.图表1中六项活动及所用时间；
2.图表2中一个数据反映的情况；
3.自己的看法。

这篇书面表达题属于说明与总结相结合的文章，应当谨防只描写说明，而不进行总结和讨论，结尾也必须提供自己的看法，写作时容易漏掉要点，而且有时候会分析不到位，影响到考试的得分。

英语作文在高考中属于重点难点。

我们要根据不同的材料和题型的具体要求和提示，理清写作要点，确定正确的写作格式、人称和时态；勾勒简单层次结构、写作思路以及要点框架，用一定的次序有条不紊地表达观点。

通过精心地篇章谋划，准确、有效地使用语法、词汇和句型，清楚、连贯地表达自己的思想感情，做到“表达有力度，写作具风格”。

表格式书面表达是近年来高考常见的题型之一。

所用体裁多为记叙文、应用文和说明文，内容多涉及前后变化对比、正反观点对比或产品介绍等，在谋篇布局时要确定好文章的整体结构，注意处理好先写与后写、略写与详写，布局合理、格式精练、语言到位。

参考范文：
Chart 1 shows the daily average amount of time the students of the school spend on different after class activities.The students put the most time—93 minutes—into their homework,and next in line is watching TV,which takes up 46 minutes.They put in about the same amount of time listening to music and working on the computer,34 minutes and 30 minutes each.While 25 minutes is spent on sports,only 12 minutes goes into housework.
As is shown on Chart 2,only 10% of the time is taken up with sports activities.I think the school should encourage the students to do more exercise after class，and they may be healthier and more energetic.
Beethoven and Lennon(贝多芬与列农)
Ludwig Van Beethoven was one of the greatest musicians in the 19th century.John Lennon was one of the greatest musicians in the 20th century.Although there is a period of about 200 years between them,they are quite similar in certain ways.
Both men expressed the spirit of their time in their music.Beethoven lived in the period of rising capitalism.At that time,people were trying to break the period of feudalism(封建制),and they were pursuing（追求） freedom,equality,and universal love.This social trend（趋势）,especially the French revolution,greatly inspired Beethoven.His music was very active,passionate（充满热情的）,and vigorous.Some of his works praised heroism,some conveyed（传达） the love for nature,and some extolled (赞美)harmony among people.Similarly,Lennon's music revealed his time.In the 60s and 70s,the youth in America were deeply frustrated by the discrimination and injustice in the society and were longing to build a new one.Most of Lennon's song expressed the ideas of the youth.In one of his songs entitled “Imagine”,he sings,“Imagine all the people,living under peace”,and “The world will be united together as one”.These words show his anti war attitude and his hope for peace,and reflect the spirit of the 60s and 70s.
Both men were social rebels to some extent.They refused to bow to social conventions and power,Beethoven admired Napoleon him so much that he dedicated his Symphony No.5,the theme of which is heroism,to him.But then Napoleon corned himself and became an emperor.Beethoven was so angry that he openly declared he took
back what he had said about Napoleon,regardless of possible persecution.Lennon was also considered a trouble maker he was not even allowed to give public performances.But he ignored all this and stuck to his belief.
As musicians,both men led to great leaps in the history of music.Beethoven's main contribution to music was his symphonies.It was he who clearly defined the form of symphony and fully developed it,which marked the end of the classical period and the beginning of the romantic period.His nine symphonies,especially No.5,No.6,and No.9,are as highly regarded today as they were 100 years ago.Lennon's achievement combined rhythm and blues with rock music,which laid the foundation for modern rock and roll music.
Although they had many things in common,Beethoven and Lennon belonged to different ages and thus were different in many ways.Beethoven's life was full of disaster and struggle.At the age of 29,when he was at the climax of his career,he lost his hearing,which was not very different from death penalty to a musician.But Beethoven managed to overcome this barrier,and miraculously he will power!But Lennon's life was much easier.He was able to live in comparative comfort,for he earned a lot from his discs and concerts.His way to success was not so hard as Beethoven's.
The names of both Beethoven and Lennon are inscribed on the monument to the history of music.They will always be remembered for their unique styles,great productivity,and indomitable personalities.
Fill in the form according to the article.

1.______________________
19th century
2.______________________ live in comparative
comfort
参考答案：1.one of the greatest musicians of 20th century
2.full of disaster and struggle
思路解析
1.由第一段第二句可以看到John Lennon was one of the greatest musicians in the 20th century.
2.由倒数第二段Beethoven's life was full of disaster and struggle...But Lennon's life was much easier.He was able to live in comparative comfort中可以看出他们两个人不同的地方。

本题属于比较长的文章，答案可以从文章中直接找到，虽然题目比较简单，要迅速地找到答案却需要一定的技巧，同学们很容易就进行阅读理解题的一般模式：先读完整篇文章，再看题做题，花费了大量的时间在没有用的信息上。

做这样的题，不必看完全文，完全可以先看题目，再到文章中去寻找答案。

实际上要找到答案仅仅需要两段里面的两句话，其他的内容只是无用信息。

这样的方法可以用在测试中节省时间。

虚拟语气
虚拟语气意虚泛，愿望事实总相反。

所列条件是假设，亦表建议和委婉。

假设条件在现在，具体事实不实现。

从句使用过去时，主句动前would添。

过去事实已存在，后来设想不一般。

would加上完成时，过去完成凑条件。

表示将来可能性，小而又小很可怜。

would后面动词立，从句should加动原。

wish后接宾从句，主语想法不如愿。

从句虚拟分三种，现过将来谓语换。

as if (as though）所引状从句，情同宾从与wish连。

一个坚持俩命令，三个建议四请愿。

任何从句都在数，虚拟should放动前。

would you mind doing sth.,言者态度真恭谦。

would you please do sth.,请求语气很婉转。

would like to do sth.，表达愿望挺自然。

虚拟语气经常用，莫与直陈混一谈。
