叙述文一般以讲述个人生活经历为主，对于经历的陈述通常由一定的时间概念贯穿其中，或顺序或倒序。但是四级考试中一般不出现单纯的叙述文，因为单纯的叙述文比较简单、易懂。所以四级考试中的叙述文大多是夹叙夹议的文章。这类文章的基本结构模式是： 1) 用一段概括性的话引入要叙述的经历 2) 叙述先前的经历及其感悟或发现 3) 叙述接下来的经历及其感悟或发现 4) 做出总结或结论 2000年12月四级考试阅读理解的第二篇就是这样的结构。我们可以将其结构简化为： 1) 总括性的话： Engineering students are supposed to be example of practicality and rationality, but when it comes to my college education I am an idealist and a fool. 2) 先前的经历或想法 In high school I wanted to be ，but I didnt chose a college with a large engineering department. 3) 往后的经历 I chose to study engineering at a small liberal-arts university for a broad education 4) 接下来的经历 I headed off for sure that I was going to have an advantage over others. 5) 再下来的经历 Now I am not so sure.I have learned the reasons why few engineering students try to reconcile engineering with liberal-arts courses in college. |
