概要是包含文本主要信息的简本,其目的是向读者提供有关文章大意的简短而清晰的报告。目前,高考试题中的概要写作要求考生根据一篇350词以内的短文,写出一篇60词左右的内容概要。概要既要用词准确,结构合理,语义连贯,不得抄写原文,又要能完全概括出文章的主旨大意。
写作指导
第一步:归纳主旨大意(含段落大意)
1.概要写作的第一步便是阅读短文并抓取主题,进而提取主旨大意,即有关该主题的主要内容或作者在该主题上的观点或主张。归纳主旨大意,是为了整体上把握语篇要义,有利于区分主次、剔除细节信息。
2.确定段落主旨句时,要兼顾语篇大背景,即在全文主旨大意的统领下归纳段落主旨,将段落主旨纳入语篇主旨的架构中。不是所有的段落都有现成的段落主旨句,有的段落主旨句需要根据段落内容予以归纳和概括。
阅读语篇时,根据不同的文体可采取以下方法归纳主旨大意:
记叙文 圈出记叙文的六要素(who,when,where,what,how,why);如果是夹叙夹议文,还要写出故事给读者带来的启示或寓意
说明文 找出文章要说明的对象、观点或建议
议论文 提取议论文的三要素(论点、论据、结论)
第二步:提炼关键词
1.结合主旨大意,细读段落,找出每个段落的主旨句和关键词,区别段落中哪些是main ideas,哪些是supporting ideas,examples和additional information。通常是在相对重要的句子中提炼关键词。正确的关键词和关键句是概要写作最重要的内容和依据。
2.削减事例,尽量减少实例并省略细节。
第三步:合并和改写
1.合并信息首先需要对信息进行分类、整合,找到信息之间的联系,再将联系紧密的信息合并在一起。同一层级的主旨句不宜合并在一起,但如果联系紧密,且没有支持的细节信息,可以考虑合并。
2.在核心信息的基础上进行语言表达形式的改写,对原文的语言表达形式尽可能实现大规模的改变(改词、换句型)。
第四步:核查成文
核查连贯性,优先考虑使用最短连接词(but,then,later,finally,besides,thus,therefore,yet,however);核查标点和语法;核查词数,并最终连句成文。
常用表达
1.表示并列或递进
It helps drive Zhejiang’s development.Furthermore,it’s of great help to enhance the high-speed railway technology.
He found the influence had lasted for many years.Additionally,he found napping would do harm to children’s mental performance.
2.表示因果
Recently,the unsafe additives have made people worried about the food safety.Consequently,the government has already taken action to improve the situation.
Its quantity demand has increased rapidly due to the convenient bottled water.
3.表示转折
Drier climates also easily result in water shortages;nonetheless,good management can guarantee enough water to satisfy our fundamental demands.
4.表示对比
Fishes and birds migrate to feed,while some animals,such as a kind of mouse in Northern Europe,move for more spaces to live in.
It’s difficult for Chinese students to feel the joy of learning.At the same time,the situation to American students is quite different.
阅读下面短文,根据其内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
Your hunger doesn’t necessarily mean you are really hungry.It is an important sign of what is happening in your body—physically,emotionally and mentally.Sounds strange It is true and here in this article we shall discuss certain things that your hunger is trying to tell you.
实践演练
When you feel hungry,try to figure out if you are really hungry.Sometimes when you think that you are hungry,you might be thirsty.It is possible that you have been dehydrated(脱水) for a long time and your body is sending a signal through your hunger.So instead of eating,go for water and quench your thirst at the earliest.
If you feel hungry all the time,it could mean that you are depriving(剥夺) yourself of certain foods and hence the body is craving for these.If you are on a strict diet,then go for foods and legumes rich in protein along with complex carbohydrates(碳水化合物) like quinoa and brown rice that will take you a long time to digest and will keep you full for a long period of time.
You might get hungry for a certain kind of food only at times.This is because you become emotional about certain foods.For example,if you are happy and celebrating your anniversary,you might end up having a desire for the cake that you bought to celebrate the special occasion.This is called emotional eating.
Sometimes your hunger might mean that you need to take a break.When you end up working at a stretch,and you do not realize that your body needs rest,you can end up feeling hungry as it is a way your body is telling you to break free from work.
Sometimes when you are bored or stressed out,you might feel hungry.It is the body’s way of telling you that you need a change of scene.Go out,take a walk,talk to your dearest friend or simply take some deep breaths.Even after this,if you feel hungry,do eat.
