经典例题:
阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Speed
is
very
important
in
avalanche
(雪崩)
rescues.
There
will
be
narrow
chances
to
escape
if
a
skier
is
buried
for
30
minutes
or
more.
Now
that
30
minutes
can
mean
the
difference
between
life
and
death
for
a
skier
lost
on
a
snowy
mountain,
most
people
would
depend
on
life?saving
dogs.
Noble
works
as
a
rescue
team
member
in
a
vacation
land,
California.
He
tells
us,
“Dogs
run
fastest
when
an
accident
happens.”
His
partner
Wylee,
a
life?saving
dog,
can
search
an
accident
scene
the
size
of
a
football
field.
It
only
needs
5
to
10
minutes.
However,
5
rescue
team
members
have
to
spend
a
couple
of
hours
in
the
same
area.
Apart
from
its
excellent
speed,
Noble
chooses
Wylee
as
his
partner
partly
because
it
weighs
only
about
half
what
other
kinds
of
dogs
weigh.
Rescue
team
members
have
to
carry
their
dogs
to
search
sites
in
addition
to
carrying
60?pound
backpacks
with
food,
water
and
other
equipment.
The
dogs
need
the
lift
so
that
don't
get
tired
before
they
start
working.
There
aren't
adequate
data
on
how
often
dogs
take
part
in
avalanche
searches
or
how
often
they
are
able
to
help
local
people
in
danger.
But
the
dogs
don't
save
that
many
people.
That's
because
there
aren't
that
many
to
save.
A
quarter
of
people
in
danger
die
from
serious
injuries
before
the
snow
stops
moving.
Of
those
buried
who
weren't
killed
by
injuries,
half
die
within
20
minutes.
If
there
is
a
chance
of
rescue,
though,
the
dogs
also
cut
search
time
for
the
remains.
Erica
Mueller,
a
famous
director,
wanted
to
see
how
the
life?saving
dogs
worked,
so
she
volunteered
to
spend
part
of
an
hour
in
a
roomy
snow
cave
waiting
to
be
found.
She
was
armed
with
a
radio
and
was
wearing
several
layers
to
stay
warm.
After
being
rescued
by
Wylee,
she
said,
“I
can't
talk
like
a
survivor,
but
it
was
definitely
a
cool
way
to
see
how
well
trained
those
dogs
are.”
[精彩范文]
Life?saving
dogs
are
of
vital
importance
and
help
in
avalanche
rescues
due
to
their
excellent
speed.
(要点1)
In
addition,
another
advantage
of
life?saving
dogs
is
their
light
weight.
(要点2)
Nonetheless,
the
number
of
people
rescued
was
not
large
owing
to
serious
injuries
and
limited
time.
(要点3)
However,
through
an
experiment,
a
famous
director
Erica
Mueller,
spoke
highly
of
the
life?saving
dogs
in
avalanche
rescues.
(要点4)
总评 该作文准确把握了文中的四个要点,无一遗漏或偏差,略去了不必要的细节信息。同时语法结构运用准确、词汇运用和同义词转换恰当丰富、语言概括精炼到位。
[亮点呈现]
(1)连接词运用准确恰当。要点1和要点2为并列关系,用In
addition连接;要点2和要点3之间为转折关系,用Nonetheless连接;要点4和要点3之间也是转折关系,为避免重复,用However来表示转折。
(2)采用同义替换、语义转换等进行灵活准确的表达。如用of
vital
importance替换very
important;将save改为rescue;用speak
highly
of来肯定搜救犬的表现。
实战演练:
阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Natalie
Doan,
14,
has
always
felt
lucky
to
live
in
Rockaway,
New
York.
Living
just
a
few
blocks
from
the
beach,
Natalie
can
see
the
ocean
and
hear
the
wave
from
her
house.
“It's
the
ocean
that
makes
Rockaway
so
special,”
she
says.
On
October
29,
2012,
that
ocean
turned
fierce.
That
night,
Hurricane
Sandy
attacked
the
East
Coast,
and
Rockaway
was
hit
especially
hard.
Fortunately,
Natalie's
family
escaped
to
Brooklyn
shortly
before
the
city's
bridge
closed.
When
they
returned
to
Rockaway
the
next
day,
they
found
their
neighborhood
in
ruins.
Many
of
Natalie's
friends
had
lost
their
homes
and
were
living
far
away.
All
around
her,
people
were
suffering,
especially
the
elderly.
Natalie's
school
was
so
damaged
that
she
had
to
temporarily
attend
a
school
in
Brooklyn.
In
the
following
few
days,
the
men
and
women
helping
Rockaway
recover
inspired
Natalie.
Volunteers
came
with
carloads
of
donated
clothing
and
toys.
Neighbors
devoted
their
spare
time
to
helping
others
rebuild.
Teenagers
climbed
dozens
of
flights
of
stairs
to
deliver
water
and
food
to
elderly
people
trapped
in
powerless
high?rise
buildings.
“My
mom
tells
me
that
I
can't
control
what
happens
to
me,”
Natalie
says,
“but
I
can
always
choose
how
I
deal
with
it.”
Natalie's
choice
was
to
help.
She
created
a
website
page
matching
survivors
in
need
with
donors
who
wanted
to
help.
Natalie
posted
introduction
about
a
boy
named
Patrick,
who
lost
his
baseball
card
collecting
when
his
house
burned
down.
Within
days,
Patrick's
collection
was
replaced.
In
the
coming
months,
her
website
page
helped
lots
of
kids:
Christopher,
who
received
a
new
basketball;
Charlie,
who
got
a
new
keyboard.
Natalie
also
worked
with
other
organizations
to
bring
much?need
supplies
to
Rockaway.
Her
efforts
made
her
a
famous
person.
Last
April,
she
was
invited
to
the
White
House
and
honored
as
a
Hurricane
Sandy
Champion
of
Change.
Today,
the
scars
(疮痍)
of
destruction
are
still
seen
in
Rockaway,
but
hope
is
in
the
air.
The
streets
are
clear,
and
many
homes
have
been
rebuilt.
“I
can't
imagine
living
anywhere
but
Rockaway,”
Natalie
declares.“My
neighborhood
will
be
back,
even
stronger
than
before.”
写前导读:本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了Natalie的家乡Rockaway遭受了飓风桑迪的侵袭以及灾后Natalie和当地居民对家乡重建所付出的努力。
