第二节 常考文体（下）

二、说明文

说明文是对某事物的特征、功能、结构、本质、用途、原理、来源等进行客观和具体的阐述。目的在于提供知识、表明观点。在最近几年的考研中，英语短文写作的模式正在发生着一些显著变化。其中之一就是“图表作文”的频繁出现。对于“图表作文”的写作形式而言，议论文体居多，但在写作的过程中总是需要对“图表”进行分析、说明以揭示某种现象或得出某种结果。所以我们要对说明文，尤其是对“图表性”的说明文给予足够的重视。

（一）说明文的说明对象

说明文的说明对象可以是具体的客观事件、人物、自然环境，也可以是某些抽象的东西，比如原理、概念、定律、思想等。

（二）说明文的应用范围

说明文可以是报告、文献、教材、历史资料、广告、说明书、宣传等。

（三）说明文常用的写作方法

10.描述说明法。

（四）说明文的写作要求

说明文要求重点说明一个问题或事物或事物的一个方面，要求观点明确、举例充分、详略得当、条理清楚、层次分明。

（五）实例分析

A vocabulary of a new language is acquired in several ways：by guessing from the context，by use of the dictionary in connection with our reading，and by special vocabulary drill apart from reading.Shall we build up our vocabulary slowly and laboriously so that years later we can read fluently；or shall we learn our vocabulary at the same time that we are reading? Perhaps the easiest and most interesting way to increase the vocabulary is to get a story written in an easy style(the teacher or librarian can recommend one)and read it as a story.To read a selection as a story means to read whole sentences and paragraphs rather than to translate word for word.Even though we lose the meaning here and there，we finally grow familiar with certain words without looking them up at allOf course，this is just what we do in reading stories in our own language.Such reading gives us a better feeling for idiomatic usage and for syntax than would be gained from wordforword translation.(该段主要介绍了几种扩大词汇量的方法，但着重介绍了其中的一种，即“阅读简易小说”。这种说明方法称为“比较法”。)

This“feeling”for vocabulary and usage must，of course，be verified and strengthened by definite study of rules and idioms.Rules of grammar are timesavers.A rule is a statement of the way things are ，or the way things act.(定义法)We might learn all the ways of the words in a given language by reading many books that have been written in it，and noticing the usual way of behavior of words.But we do not need to do this because it is what has been done by the men who tell us what the rules are.By using their work，we can save time and energy and make more rapid progress.(该段主要给我们讲述了在单词记忆过程中如何节约时间的问题，并且向我们推荐了一种比较好的节省时间的方法。说明方法有“对比法”和“下定义法”。)

Idiomatic expressions of whatever length should be learned as a whole，as though each expression were a word in a vocabulary.They should be learned by use both in reading and in conversation，and by drill.(该段主要介绍如何才能加深对词汇的记忆，并指出了几种记忆词汇的方法。)(324 words)

分析：该篇短文运用“比较法”、“对比法”以及“下定义法”向我们介绍了记忆词汇和巩固记忆的诸多方法。条理分明，语言浅显易懂，逻辑顺序合理。
