2017年大學英語四級作文高分句型(二)：強調句

　　套句展示：

　　It is universally acknowledged that + 句子(全世界都知道…)

　　這是一個在四級作文里面用來闡述觀點的經典句型，用詞也很出色。

　　It is universally acknowledged that trees are indispensable to us. 全世界都知道樹木對我們是不可或缺的。

　　It is…that + 句子…構成強調句型(The Emphatic Pattern)

　　英語常用的強調結構是“It is/was+被強調部分(主語、賓語或狀語)+ who(that)…”。一般說來，被強調部分指人時，用who;指事物時，用that;在美國英語中指事物時常用which來代替that。

　　與之類似的常用句型還有：

　　It is conceivable that + 句子(可想而知的)

　　It is obvious that + 句子(明顯的)

　　It is apparent that + 句子(顯然的)

　　It is conceivable that knowledge plays an important role in our life. 可想而知，知識在我們的一生中扮演一個重要的角色。

　　必考套句：

　　(1) It is the responsibility of to do sth.

　　【分析】注意，從形式上看該句子很像強調句型，而實際上并非如此，因為句中it是形式主語，動詞不定式作實際主語。

　　It is the responsibility of every citizen in our society to do his utmost to protect the environment.

　　(2) It is the , I suppose, that havehas given rise to .

　　【分析】該強調句型強調句子主語，I suppose作為插入語。這是一個很好掌握的四級長句，在作文中需要分析原因時，可以用它闡述自己的看法。

　　It is the tighter job market, I suppose, that has given rise to the increase in the number of unemployed college students in China.

　　(3) It is only when that .

　　【分析】強調句型強調when引導時間從句。

　　It is only when you nearly lose someone that you become fully conscious of how much you value him.

　　偉人偉招：

　　1. 百折不撓式

　　We must accept finite disappointment, but we must never lose infinite hope. (Martin Luther King, Jr.)

　　我們必須接受失望，因為它是有限的，但千萬不可失去希望，因為它是無窮的。(馬丁·路德·金)

　　【點評】該句為馬丁·路德·金生命的體驗，我們在作文中談到某種麻煩的解決方法時，借用過來妙不可言。另外We must do…, but we must never…用于觀點的轉折或者遞進效果很好。

　　2. 深入生活式

　　Genius is formed in quiet, character in the stream of life. (Goethe )

　　天才形成于平靜中，性格來自于生活的激流。(歌德)

　　【點評】歌德之才，恐非我輩能及，但大師的語言卻給我們無窮的靈感。表示“形成”記著用“is formed in”，簡單之處見真章。

　　2017年大學英語四級作文高分句型(三)：省略句

　　套句展示：

　　It is necessary that effective actions be taken to prevent this problem.

　　省略，在語言中，尤其在對話中是一種常見的現象，它可以使語氣明了。英語里被省略部分一般可以在句子中補上。本句是省略should的虛擬語氣，完整句為It is necessary that effective actions should be taken to prevent this problem. 這種對虛擬語氣的省略在四級作文句子里面廣為存在，

　　又如：It is hoped that great efforts should be directed to (expended on / focused on) finding (developing / improving)…中的should也可省略。

　　必考句型：

　　(1) Although many have tried, few have succeeded in attempts to .

　　【分析】本句中tried后的賓語可根據后半句的語義推測得知，所以可以省略，避免重復。

　　Although many have tried, few have succeeded in attempts to find perfect solutions.

　　(2) , be it , will bring a lot of happiness into our lives.

　　【分析】本句是一個超難句型，中間一節省略了whether和might，并進行了倒裝，將“be it”恢復后應為whether it might be。Be it…，可譯為“比方說”，用來給出更多細節。

　　The application of electric power, be it to light our rooms or to listen to music, will bring a lot of happiness to our lives.

　　(3) Christie stared angrily at her boss and turned away, as though to go out of the office.

　　【分析】as though引導方式狀語從句，謂語常用虛擬語氣，本句中主句的主語與從句的主語相同，故從句中的主語和謂語省略，即省略了she wanted;如果補全，即為：as though she wanted to go out of the office.

　　練習與進步：

　　1. 因為項目任務十分艱巨，這個項目需要的勞動力比我們已經投入的要多。

　　2. 雖然Dave Mitchell在舊金山長大，但他總是更喜歡記錄小鎮生活的平淡事實。

　　3. 就像土壤是地球的一部分一樣，大氣也是地球的一部分。

　　4. 沒有人會有時間去讀或聽講述世界發生的每一件事情。

　　9. 他經常坐在一間小酒吧里喝酒，喝得太多了，不利于他的身體。

　　10. 盡管相對貴一些，但是這個發動機效率更高，而且不需要經常維修。

　　偉人偉招：

　　1. 以退為進式

　　On earth there is nothing great but man; and in man there is nothing great but mind. (Hamilton )

　　世界上，沒有什么比人更偉大，而對于人來說，沒有什么比精神更偉大。

　　【點評】在你考試寫作文時，也可以用這種方式來分步把你的觀點說出來，這種句子體現了一種智慧上的美。另外nothing but…(只有…)句型我們要熟練掌握。

　　I have nothing but compassion for your situation.

　　Nothing but determination will get us through this.

　　2. 精力無窮式work as though your strength were limitless. (S. Bernhardt )

　　要這樣生活，仿佛你壽命永恒;要這樣工作，仿佛你精力無窮。(波恩哈特)

　　【點評】是個很生動的句型，很有文學魅力，可以背會用來鼓勵大家努力。用在最后一段的開頭，可以畫龍點睛。

　　3. 前輕后重式

　　Don’t believe that winning is really everything. It’s more important to stand for something. If you don’t stand for something, what do you win? (Lane Kirkland )

　　不要認為取勝就是一切，更重要的是要有信念。倘若你沒有信念，那勝利又有什么意義呢?(柯克蘭)

　　【點評】這是正反論述文的經典句型。前面的觀點是你反對的，后面的是你所支持的。例如在文章的最后一段可以這樣寫：Don’t be afraid that we won’t succeed in solving this problem; it is more important to know we are doing our best. 這樣，20多個單詞就毫不費力地寫出來了。
