審題:
這道題目屬于哲理類的題目,可以用多種方法來說明圖中所闡述的道理,文章的安排也有多種可能性。我們可以采用一種比較獨特的方式,先描述圖表,在第二段中就所表達的內(nèi)容進行提問,在第三段中以舉例說明我們對該問題的理解和認識,最后在第四段做結(jié)。
Sample:
A miserable picture unfolds before our eyes: a flood has destroyed a whole city. We can imagine the loss of lives and property. Under the picture, there was a thoughtprovoking sentence: every drop of water says it is not responsible for the flood.
This picture inevitably invites a series of questions: then who is responsible for the flood? Who has demolished the houses? Who has drowned the children?
A good case in point is pollution. Twenty years ago, most rivers were so clean—the water was drinkable and so many people went swimming and fishing. Only two decades later, many of them became so polluted that we can no longer drink the water—fishes have died out and nobody ever swims in it or washes clothes by it. Every one of us never thinks the industrial waste or the living garbage we once damped into the river would cause so serious a result—today the harsh reality has become too hard to swallow.
Finally we realize that every drop of water actually is responsible for the flood. Only if every citizen takes on his responsibility as a member of a family, a nation and the world can all of us wish to have a more beautiful future.
點評:
第一段對圖表和圖下的文字進行描述。這一段使用了少用的句型A miserable picture unfolds before our eyes以深化看到圖畫后受到的震撼。而后加入了聯(lián)想性的句子We can imagine the loss of lives and property,這是不多見的。然后描述了圖下的一句話。
第二段創(chuàng)造性地連問了三個問題,與圖下的文字針鋒相對,又為第三段的論述做了充分的鋪墊。三個問題中,第一個問題直接與上段末句形成對立,而后面兩句則是呼應(yīng)首段的次句,可謂環(huán)環(huán)相扣,聯(lián)系緊密。
第三段共分四句,舉了污染的例子。第一句是常用句型。第二句和第三句形成了鮮明的對比——二十年前的河流清澈,二十年后的卻污染嚴(yán)重。最后一句是關(guān)鍵——傾倒工業(yè)廢料、生活垃圾的人也沒有想到會有如此嚴(yán)重的后果。
最后一段是結(jié)論段,共分兩句。第一句話正好與圖中的話相反,這是在論述后得到的結(jié)論。第二句話引申說——每個公民都要盡自己的責(zé)任,我們才能擁有美好的明天。
心得:
在說理的文章中,找到切入點是很重要的,所以很多時候要用到舉例。一般說來,有多種例子可舉,并不一定哪一種就是最好的。這時由于時間有限,不可太猶豫。本文中舉了污染的例子,解答了第二段中的疑問,也直接引出了末段的結(jié)論,作用非常重要,請大家用心體會。
