[文体指导]
演讲稿的语言要准确、简洁,通俗易懂,层次清楚,条理分明。介绍说明事物的内容关系要明确,逻辑性强。演讲稿由开头语、正文和结束语三部分组成。
演讲稿的开头和结尾一般都有固定的格式,如:
Dear friends,
I'm glad to introduce myself to you.________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________
That's all.Thank you.
如果是熟悉的听众,开头和结尾可以活泼一些,灵活一些,如:
(1)Good morning,/Good afternoon,everyone...______________________________
______________________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________
______________________________________________________________________
That's all.Thank you.
(2)Good evening!Ladies and gentlemen.____________________________________
______________________________________________________________________

第一部分:开门见山提出本人要谈的问题及对问题的看法;
第二部分:说明理由,常见的关联词有:first of all,secondly,finally等;
第三部分:照应开头,总结全文。最后可以做简明扼要的总结,也可以谈自己的希望或看法等。
常见的句式有:in short,in a word...等。
3.演讲稿的语句表达要直接面对听众,尽管不要用复杂啰唆的句子,更不要采用深奥难懂的句子。话要说得准确易懂,最好用大众语言。除了要求以简单句为主的同时,可以适当穿插一些复合句结构。虽然文章要求以简单句为主,但是不要把文章写成单句的罗列,适当使用关联词承前启后,可以使文章前后连贯,浑然一体。

语法专项突破
01
一、动词的非限定形式(即非谓语形式)作主语
1. ing形式作主语表示一般的、抽象的、泛指的概念,常用it作形式主语。常用于固定句型:It's a waste of time doing...;It's no use/good doing...;It is useless doing...;There is no...等中。
2.不定式作主语,一般表示具体某一次的动作。常用 it作形式主语。
3.it作形式主语时,不定式或 ing形式是真正的主语,放在句子后部,以使句子保持平衡。
二、动词的非限定形式作宾语
[观察例句]
1.My English teacher promised to lend some books to me.
2.We only missed seeing each other by five minutes.
3.Do you mind being interrupted while studying
4.My mother couldn't help smiling when she heard the good news.
[归纳用法]
1.下列动词后只能用不定式作宾语,请牢记下面的口诀:
决心学会想希望,拒绝设法愿假装。
主动答应选计划,同意请求帮一帮。
decide/determine,learn,want,expect/hope/wish;refuse,manage,care,pretend;offer,promise,choose,plan,agree,ask/beg,help,afford,strive,happen,wait,threaten等
2.下列动词或动词短语后只能用 ing形式作宾语,请牢记下面的口诀:
考虑建议盼原谅,承认推迟没得想。
避免错过继续练,否认完成就欣赏。
禁止想象才冒险,不禁介意准逃亡。
consider,suggest/advise,look forward to,excuse/pardon;admit,delay/put off,fancy(想象,设想);avoid,miss,keep/keep on,practice;deny,finish,enjoy/appreciate;forbid,imagine,risk;can't help,mind,allow/permit,escape
此外,下列动词短语后也要用 ing形式作宾语:
be used/accustomed to,lead to,devote...to,go back to,stick to,object to,get down to,pay attention to,can't stand (无法忍受),give up,feel like,insist on,thank...for,apologize for,be busy (in),have difficulty/trouble (in),have a good/wonderful/hard time (in),spend time (in)
3.下列动词或动词短语后既可以用 ing形式作宾语,也可以用不定式作宾语,但意义上有区别,要特别注意:
后接不定式 后接动名词
regret to do sth.遗憾要去做某事 regret doing sth.后悔做过某事
forget to do sth.忘记要去做某事 forget doing sth.忘记已做过某事
remember to do sth.记得要去做某事 remember doing sth.记得做过某事
mean to do sth.打算做某事 mean doing sth.意味着做某事

[观察例句]
1.His wish is to be a doctor in the future.
2.My job is to clean the rooms every day.
3.Our task is playing all kinds of music.
4.My job is teaching.
[归纳用法]
1.不定式作表语常用来表示预计要发生的动作,也可用来表示未来的可能性和假设;但当不定式所作的表语仅用来说明主语的内容时,这时的不定式只作单纯的表语,而不具有未来的含义。
2. ing形式作表语多指抽象的、概念性的动作,句子主语常是表示无生命的名词或what引导的名词性从句。

Back to Nature
Tao Yuanming and Henry David Thoreau were both poets,but one lived in Ancient① China and the other[1] in 19th century America.Superficially②,these two men,whose lives were separated in time by nearly 1,500 years,[2]were polar opposites③.And yet they shared an intense respect for nature,which made them each an influential figure④ of their time.
[1]one...the other...“(两者中)一个……另一个”。
[2]whose引导非限制性定语从句,修饰these two men。
Both men made dramatical transformations to their lives in order to reconnect⑤ with nature.As an official⑥ in the Eastern Jin
Dynasty,Tao felt conflicted over⑦ life at court⑧.In 405,he quit the service of the court for good⑨,expressing his unhappiness in the now famous line⑩ that he would not “bow like a servant in return for five dou of grain”.[3]He spent the next 22 years until his death,working the land in a poor,rural area.[4]From his poetry,we can learn that although his life was arduous,he succeeded in finding contentment in its simplicity and in drawing pleasure from nature.[5]
[3]expressing his unhappiness...在句中作伴随状语。
[4]working the land in a poor,rural area在句中作伴随状语。
[5]本句为一个复合句。主句是“主谓宾”结构,that引导的宾语从句中含有一个although引导的让步状语从句。
While Tao's return to nature was a reaction to a lifestyle he was opposed to,Thoreau's was a personal decision to transform the way he lived.[6] He had a decent quality of life,but he wanted to live in a simpler way.For two years,two months and two days,he lived in a cottage in the forest on the edge of Walden Pond,focusing on himself and his writing.[7]He explained his reason for doing so in Walden:“I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately ,to front only the essential facts of life.”Both men were happy to withdraw from contemporary life,seeking a harmonious relationship with nature in the quietness of their lives.[8]
[6]While引导让步状语从句,he was opposed to是定语从句修饰先行词lifestyle,the way后的定语从句省略了in which或that。
[7]focusing on...为现在分词短语作伴随状语。
[8]seeking a harmonious relationship with...为现在分词短语作伴随状语。
Although Tao and Thoreau do not treat nature in quite the same way,their works show its beauty and value.Tao's nature is a place of fields and villages,in other words,rural,and his animals are domestic ones,such as chickens and dogs.The calm and peaceful life he wrote about is in contrast to21 and critical of the depressive22 court life:[9]
Beyond the dark and distance lies a village.
The smoke above reluctant23 to depart24.
A dog is barking somewhere down the lane25,
And chickens sit atop26 the mulberry27 tree.
[9]句中he wrote about为定语从句,修饰先行词life。
Thoreau's descriptions of nature emphasised28 the beauty and purity29 of the wild areas around him.Devoting himself to30 observations of the natural phenomena,he recorded his detailed findings in his journals.[10]Thoreau's writing aimed to convince people that animals and plants had a right to live and prosper,as we do.[11]We should live with them in harmony and enjoy nature's gifts,as he describes in his journals:
Live in each season as it passes;breathe the air,drink the drink,taste the fruit,and resign31 yourself to the influences of each.Let them be your only diet,drink and botanical32 medicines.
[10]Devoting himself to observations of the natural phenomena是现在分词短语作状语,和主语he之间是主谓关系。
[11]句中that引导宾语从句,在该宾语从句中又含有一个as引导的方式状语从句。
It takes considerable courage to reject33 the easy and familiar and instead try to live closer to nature,as both Tao and Thoreau did.[12] Their choices led them to quiet and reflective34 lives with fewer material desires.In today's modern world,their ideas about living simply and being at ease with35 nature may take us a step closer to attaining36 personal well being37 and fulfillment38.
[12]本句为主从复合句。as引导方式状语从句。主句中It作形式主语,后面的不定式短语to reject the easy...为真正的主语。

回归自然
陶渊明和亨利·大卫·梭罗都是诗人,但一个生活在古代中国,另一个生活在19世纪的美国。从表面上看,这两个人的生活在时间上相差近1,500年,是截然不同的。然而,他们都对大自然怀有强烈的敬意,这使他们两个都成为当时有影响力的人物。
为了重新与大自然接触,两人都对自己的生活做出了巨大的改变。作为东晋的一名官员,陶渊明感到与朝堂生活有矛盾。公元405年,他永远退出朝堂,用一句现在很有名的话表达了他的不满,说他不会“为五斗米折腰。”在他死前的22年里,他一直在一个贫穷的田园耕作。从他的诗歌中,我们可以了解到,虽然他的生活是艰辛的,但他成功地从简单中找到了满足,从自然中获得了快乐。
虽然陶渊明回归自然是他对他所反对的生活方式的一种反应,但是梭罗回归自然则是想要改变生活方式的个人决定。梭罗原本拥有一个相当有品质的生活,但他想过一种更简单的生活。两年零两个月零两天,他住在瓦尔登湖边上森林中的一间小屋里,专注于自己和自己的写作。他在《瓦尔登湖》中解释了他这样做的原因:
“我到森林里去,因为我希望活得更从容些,只面对生活的基本事实。”两人都乐于从现代生活中抽身而退,在平静的生活中寻求与自然的和谐关系。
虽然陶渊明和梭罗对待自然的态度不尽相同,但他们的作品却体现了自然的美和价值。陶渊明的自然是田野和村庄,换句话说,就是乡村,他的动物是家养的,比如鸡和狗。他所描写的平静安宁的生活与压抑的朝堂生活形成了鲜明的对比和批判:
暖暖远人村,
依依墟里烟。
狗吠深巷中,
鸡鸣桑树颠。
梭罗对自然的描写强调了他周围荒野的美丽和纯洁。他致力于对自然现象的观察,在日记中他详细记录了他的发现。梭罗的著作旨在使人们相信,动物和植物有权利像我们一样生活和繁荣。我们应该与他们和谐相处,享受大自然的恩赐,正如他在日记中所描述的:
好好度过每一个季节,呼吸新鲜的空气,畅饮美酒,品尝水果,尽情享受这一切。让它们成为你唯一的珍馐、美酒和草药。
拒绝简单和熟悉的事物,而像陶渊明和梭罗那样,尽力去更接近自然,这需要相当大的勇气。他们的选择使他们过上了平静而沉思的生活,物质欲望减少了。在今天的现代世界,它们关于简单生活和与自然和谐相处的思想可能会让我们离实现个人幸福和满足更近一步。

Nature in Architecture①
Trees,plants and flowers are all around us and we enjoy their beauty every day.In fact,we are so used to② them that we may even take them for granted③ without realising how much inspiration they have given us.[1]When we look at a pine cone④,we might think how much it looks like the tiles⑤on a roof.An open flower might make us think how closely⑥ it resembles⑦ an umbrella.[2]It is natural to think in this way,[3]but of course it wasn't the umbrella that inspired⑧ the flower or the roof that inspired the pine cone.[4]
[1]本句采用了so...that...句型。
[2]make sb.do sth.使某人做某事。
[3]It is natural to do...it作形式主语,to do不定式是真正的主语。
[4]it wasn't that...为强调句型。
Nature has inspired many of the most fascinating⑨ designs around us,including⑩ those in architecture.From Barcelona's forest like Sagrada Familia to the modern style of Beijing's Water Cube ,nature is presented in various architectural designs .Today,architects continue to explore ways to capture the beauty of natural forms,to mimic the way nature works or even to make natural organisms part of a building.[5]

to make...三个并列的不定式短语作定语,修饰ways;make natural organisms part of a building为“make+宾语+名词(作宾语补足语)”结构。
ArtScience Museum,Singapore
People whose interest is exploring the relationship between art and science[6] will enjoy Singapore's ArtScience Museum.The building was designed to show the connection between nature and the modern city environment in which it sits.[7]Shaped to resemble a lotus flower,[8]it appears to float21 above the waterfront22 promenade23 and the water that surrounds it.[9]Its roof collects rainwater and channels24 it 35 metres down to a waterfall in the centre of the space.The water is then recycled25 through the building's plumbing26 system.Visitors are often amazed to find themselves in an urban building[10] that so truly captures the beauty of natural forms.[11]

[11]that引导定语从句,在句中作主语。
The Eastgate Centre,Harare
Harare's Eastgate Centre is a superb27 example of biomimicy28.To use biomimicry is to create structures based on29 natural forms and processes30.[12]Zimbabwean architect Mick Pearce was inspired to create the Centre while watching a nature documentary31 in which termites32 were constructing33 their nests34.[13]The insects35 built mounds36 covered in little holes designed to allow air to move freely in and out of the mounds.[14]In a similar
way37,the Eastgate Centre has a “skin” covered in holes.During the day,warm air is drawn into the building through the holes,cooling as it reaches the middle of the building.[15]At night,the heat absorbed38 by the wall during the day [16] warms39 the cool air,creating a comfortable temperature inside.[17]The design reduces the need for40 traditional air conditioning41 and heating systems42,so the building uses less energy and costs less to run.
[12]不定式作主语和表语。

The Algae House,Hamburg
The world's first algae powered43 building is in Hamburg,Germany.The surface44 of the apartment building45 is covered in panels that contain algae.The algae are fed with liquid nutrients46 and carbon dioxide47 to encourage them to grow.In bright sunshine,they grow faster and provide shade48.The panels also capture heat from the sun and convert it into49 energy that powers the building.[18]And that's not all-the algae inside the panels can be harvested50 and used to produce fuel.The building therefore not only responds to51 its environment and uses less energy,but also reduces damage to52 the environment by generating its own renewable energy.[19]

融入建筑中的大自然
树,植物和鲜花每天都环绕在我们身边,我们每天都欣赏它们的美。事实上,我们已经如此习惯了它们,以至于我们可能已经把它们视为理所当然,而没有意识到它们给了我们多少灵感。当看到一个松果,我们可以会想它看起来多像屋顶上的瓦片。一朵盛开的花可能会让我们觉得它和雨伞是多么相似。这样思考是很自然的,但当然不是雨伞给了花朵以灵感,也不是屋顶启发了松果。
大自然启发了我们周围许多最迷人的设计,包括建筑设计。从巴塞罗那森林般的圣雄家庭大教堂到北京水立方的现代风格,大自然在各种建筑设计中都得到体现。今天,建筑师们继续探索捕捉自然形态之美的方式,模仿自然的运作方式,甚至使自然生物成为建筑的一部分。
新加坡的艺术科学博物馆
对探索艺术与科学之间关系感兴趣的人会喜欢新加坡的艺术科学博物馆。该建筑旨在展示自然和它所在的现代城市环境之间的联系。它的形状像一朵莲花,仿佛漂浮在海滨长廊及其周围的水面上。它的屋顶收集雨水,并引导它向下35米到达空间中心的瀑布。然后,水通过建筑的管道系统循环使用。游客们常常惊奇地发现,他们置身于一座城市建筑中,它如此真实地捕捉到了自然形态的美。
哈拉雷的伊斯特盖特中心
哈拉雷的伊斯特盖特中心是仿生学的典范。利用仿生学就是基于自然的形态和过程来创造建筑物。津巴布韦的建筑师米克·皮尔斯在观看一个自然纪录片时受到启发创建了这个中心。在纪录片中,白蚁正在建造它们的巢穴,白蚁在土丘上留有小孔,让空气自由进出,同样地,哈拉雷的伊斯特盖特中心的“皮肤”上也布满了洞。白天,
温暖的空气通过这些洞被吸进建筑物,当它到达建筑物中间时就会冷却。晚上,白天墙壁吸收的热量会使冷空气变暖,创造一个舒适的室内温度。该设计减少了对传统空调和供暖系统的需求,因此该建筑物使用更少的能源,运行成本更低。
汉堡的藻类之家
世界上第一座以藻类为动力的建筑物位于德国的汉堡。公寓楼的表面覆盖着含有藻类的面板。藻类以液态营养物和二氧化碳为养料促进它们的生长。在明亮的阳光下,它们长得更快,提供阴凉。太阳能板还能从太阳中获取热量,并将其转化为能量,为建筑物供能。不仅如此,太阳能板内的藻类还可以用来生产燃料。因此,建筑物不仅能对环境做出反应,减少能源消耗,而且还能通过生产自己的可再生能源来减少对环境的破坏。
建造这样的建筑物能使我们与环境更和谐地生活。在保护明天的世界的同时满足今天的需要可能是一个挑战,但即便是最简单的生物体也可能会教我们如何实现这一点。
