The hot sun above was bright. It made the temperature rise. On the road all was quite. There were few cars to be seen. Therewere even fewer people about. The shops alongside the road were wide open.Their bamboo shades were rolled down to keep out the blazing sun. There was no wind at all. The pavement way, though shady, was stuffy. Even theshopkeepers seemedaffected by this mid – day heat and stuffiness. Theylooked bored and unwilling to serve the few occasional customers.这是一段描写文；在读文章之前要求读者带着问题阅读：① 段落的中心思想是什么？② 段落是采纳什么方法描写的？不难发觉，段落的中心思想是描写 某一天中午的高温、 闷热的情形； 作者采纳由上到下、 由远到近的空间次序的方法描写；文章中用火热的太阳、道路寂静、车辆稀有、为拦住阳光，商店的竹窗 帘落下来、店主不愿接待顾客等情形的描写生动地衬托了段落的中心思想；2． 记叙文 〔narration〕 ：记叙文表达过去发生的事情，着重写事或人；其要素是五“何”原就，即在写作中必需交待清晰五个方面的内容： 何时、何地、何人、何事以及何如；记叙文主要是按时间次序陈述大事， 中心思想是通过陈述、 举例、说明及细节来说明； 文章段落的中心思想可能是段落的任何一个句子或示意； 请读下面题为“ My 35 Years In China ”记述文章的开头段落，并留意体会文章的 开头方式和绽开手法：There is a saying in China that “Time flies like an arrow. ” When I cameto China the People’s Republic of China had just been born. Today, the new China has proudly celebrated her 35 th anniversary and now stands in full splendor and looks to the world with confidence. Meanwhile timehas turned me from a strong 40-year-old into a gray-haired old man. This year marks 75 th birthday as well as 35 th year that I have been livingand working in China. In that time I have lived in this fascinating landand shared joys and suffering with Chinese people, so that in my old age I can proudly say “the longer I live in China, the younger my heart become.”这段文章的目的是通过时间次序、 举例对比的写作手法–––从中华人民共和国成立到如今中国面对全世界，自豪地庆祝 35 周年纪念日；从一位四十岁的中年人变成了两鬓灰白的老人， 感觉光阴似箭的心情； 文章的中心思想是环围着中国生活的 35 年时间过得很快而写成的；精品资料 欢迎下载又如：一九八八年六月全国四级统考的作文， 题目是：An Early Morning Walk；这是一篇属于记叙文体裁的文章， 要求同学写出 “我” 由起床开头到去公园以及 在公园所见所闻的全过程； 在第三段中， 仍要求写出自己的思想， 对早上寂静的环境的表达以及对公园所见的情形给以详细的描述；见下面参考范文：An Early Morning WalkOne morning I got up early, and everything around was very quite. The sun had just risen, shining brilliantly. Everything seemedto be covered with a layer of golden silk, there were only some birds singing occasionally in the high trees. I tripped all the way toward the park,breathing the fresh air, feeling extremely happy.When I arrived at the park, I found, to my surprise, there were somany people there. Men and women, boys and girls all enjoyed themselves by various activities. Some were doing morning exercises, some were playing badminton, some old people were having their tea while talkingto each other cheerfullyWalking around the park, to my delight, I found a few middle school students were talking to each other in English in the southeast cornerof the park, I went to them at once and spoke to them in English, we became friends right away. I was very glad to find another opportunity to practice myspoken English. Onthe way home, I thought early morning walk was reallyhelpful. Taking an early walking makes a man healthy and wise. 注：（打横线的句子为段首句和段尾句； ）3． 说明文（exposition ）：说明文就是用言简意骇的文字向读者介绍事物的过程，讲解思想和信念，把信息呈现给读者；写说明文要把握的要素是“什么（ what）”和“为什么（ why）”，即通过点明论点和阐明缘由或过程，说明事物的特点和性能，或阐明某种观念、原理或现象；说明文包括实体事物说明文、事理说明文和文艺说明文；请读下面一段题为“ Read Good Books”的说明文章：From good reading wecan derive pleasure, friendship, experience, and instruction. A good book may absorb our attention so completely that for the time being we forget our surrounding and even our existence. Reading good books is one of the greatest pleasures in life. It increases ourcontentment when we are cheerful, and lessens our troubles when we are sad. Whatever may be our main purpose in reading, our contact with good books should never fail to give us enjoyment and satisfaction.这是一段事理说明文，要把事情理由讲清晰；段落的中心思想是段落的中间句 Reading good books is one of the greatest pleasures in life. 其它句子都是为了衬托中心思想，要说明读书是生活中最大乐趣之一的缘由；要留意，说明文除了要把握其空间次序 （从上到下， 由外到内）、仍要把握其规律次序 （先因后果或先果后因） 、熟悉次序（由浅入深、由此及彼、由局部到整体、由现象到本质、由详细到抽象） ；这段说明文就是用读书可以使人忘掉四周一切，可以使人开心时心情更开心， 难过时可以削减痛楚等现象说明其本质–––读书可以精品资料 欢迎下载使我们获得享受和满意；又如：一九九二年六月全国四级统考的作文题目是： How I Overcame My Difficulties in Learning English. 段首句是：①在英语学习中存在的困难；②我是怎样克服困难的； 多数同学能依据所学学问较好地写出文章所给的提纲内容，从文章开头交待英语学习中有哪些困难，回答说明文 what, 到论及如何克服这些困难的过程，完成说明文的 why 和 how 的阐释，内容较充实，说明清晰；但少数同学审题失误， 全文只说明白英语学习的困难是什么， 却疏漏了说明文最关键的一步，即没有扣住 how 的阐明，而是表决心似的大喊“今后要努力学习 英语”之类的口号， 导致全篇跑题； 这就要求同学在实际写作中把握好写说明文的要点；4. 谈论文（ argumentation ）： 谈论文就是讲道理、讲是非；一段完整的议 论文是由论点、 论据和论证构成的； 说明文是把信息呈现给读者， 那么谈论文就是用信息去说服读者； 这两种文章都是以来自各方面的事实和印象为基础的； 最常见的谈论文次序为： ① 提出问题或表达一种观点即引论； ② 分析、评论提出的问题或观点即正文 . ③ 对提出的问题、观点说明态度或提出解决方法即结论， 也就是文章的结尾；现引用一篇题为“ Smoking and Cancer ”谈论文的引论和结论段落，分析如下：[ 引论] Americans smoke six thousand million cigarettes every year. This is roughly the equivalent of 4:195 cigarettes a year for every person in t。
