[典题演练]
阅读下面短文, 根据内容写一篇60词左右的内容概要。
A tax would be adopted on food items high on saturated (饱和的) fats, salt and sugar.Hungary did that and introduced such a kind of tax on the 1st of September. Denmark did something similar on the 1st of October, charging 16 DKK per kg of saturated fat on native and imported food, not including products with saturated fat content fewer than 2.3%. There are similar measures and suggestions in other EU countries as well, as well as overseas in the US.
An important reason why people continuously turn to unhealthy, fat, sugar and salt contained food, is the simple fact that it's often cheaper than a healthier meal contained at least in part of fresh produce. A study done at the University of Washington found that “when they compared the prices of 370 foods... junk foods not only cost less... but junk food prices are also less likely to rise as a result of inflation (通货膨胀). ” Thus it is only reasonable to adopt a tax against unhealthy, fatty food in order to give healthy food a fighting chance.
However, introducing such a tax would cause an overstepping of the government's authority. The role of government in a society should not expand further than providing basic services such as education, legal protection. Protecting the individual should go no further than the protection against the actions of a third person. For instance, we can all agree that governments should put measures in place to protect us from thieves etc. But should it also protect us from unnecessary spending? Limit us in the number of credit cards we can own? Tell us how we can invest our money? Of course not. But what this tax does is exactly that-it is punishing the citizens for a specific choice they are making by artificially inflating its cost. Thus it is clear that carrying out such a tax against a specific choice an individual should be able to properly make is a clear overstepping of the government's authority.
[思路点拨]
1.语篇解读
(1)文章大意: 本文是议论文, 主要讲述是否要收取脂肪税, 支持者认为这一举措给更高成本的健康膳食提供了公平的竞争环境, 但是其他人认为政府如果实施这项政策, 会“管得太多”, 而人们自己的选择也应该受到尊重。
(2)结构分析: 本文的篇章结构为“总——分”, 第一段内容为主题段, 引出了“征收脂肪税”这一话题; 第二、三段主要阐述了人们对于是否征收脂肪税的支持与反对两种观点及其理由。
2.筛选信息, 提炼要点
段落
关键词
1
Topic
fat tax
2
Those who support
healthier,a fighting chance
3
Those who are
against
overstepping of
government's authority, protecting the individual
3.转换表达, 合并成句
Para. 1: 用词语替换法把adopt改为introduce, 转换表达被动变主动。第一段可概括为: Many countries have introduced a tax on food items highly containing saturated fat, salt and sugar.
Para. 2: 用词义替换法把a fighting chance改为a fair competition environment, 因此第二段可概括为: Those who support think that the fat tax can provide a fair competition environment to healthier food that is more expensive.
Para. 3: 更换主语以及语态, 把doing作主语改为people与individual choices, 第三段可概括为: Some people regard this tax as an overstepping of the government's authority. Individual choices should also be respected without being controlled as long as they are legal.
4.适当衔接, 连句成文
人们对“fat tax”是否有必要存在两种截然不同的观点, 故应在要点2和3之间增加表转折的关联词however或but; 要点3和4在观点上都是表示反对的, 可以用表并列的词连接使得上下文连贯, 也可以不使用连接词。
完美成篇

To Kill a Mockingbird (excerpt)
I returned to school and hated Calpurnia steadily until a sudden shriek shattered my resentments. I looked up to see Miss Caroline standing in the middle of the room, sheer horror flooding her face.Apparently she had revived enough to persevere in her profession.
“It's alive!” she screamed.
The male population of the class rushed as one to her assistance. Lord, I thought,she's scared of a mouse. Little Chuck little, whose patience with all living things was phenomenal, said, “Which way did he go, Miss Caroline? Tell us where he went, quick!D.C.—”he turned to a boy behind him—“D.C.,shut the door and we'll catch him.Quick, ma'am, where'd he go?”
Miss Caroline pointed a shaking finger not at the floor nor at a desk, but to a hulking individual unknown to me. Little Chuck's face contracted and he said gently, “You mean him, ma'am? Yes sure, he's alive. Did he scare you some way?”
Miss Caroline said desperately,“I was just walking by when it crawled out of his hair... just crawled out of his hair—”
Little Chuck grinned broadly.“There ain't no need to fear a cottie, ma'am.Ain't you ever seen one?Now don't you be afraid, you just go back to your desk and teach us some more.”
Little Chuck was another member of the population who didn't know where his next meal was coming from, but he was a born gentleman.He put his hand under her elbow and led Miss Caroline to the front of the room.“Not don't you fret, ma'am,” he said“There ain't no need to fear cootie.I'll just fetch you some cool water.”
The cootie's host showed not the faintest interest in the furor he had wrought. He searched the scalp above his forehead, located his guest and pinched it between his thumb and forefinger.
Miss Caroline watched the process in horrid fascination. Little Chuck brought water in a paper cup, and she drank it gratefully. Finally she found her voice. “What is your name, son?” she asked softly.
The boy blinked. “Who, me?” Miss Caroline nodded.
“Burris Ewell. ”
Miss Caroline inspected her rollbook. “I have a Ewell here, but I don't have a first name... would you spell your first name for me?”
“Don't know how. They call me Burris't home.”
“Well, Burris,” said Miss Caroline, “I think we'd better excuse you for the rest of the afternoon. I want you to go home and wash your hair. ”,导语:伯利斯·尤尤厄尔头上的一只虱子引起了一场班级的轩然大波,尤其是卡罗琳小姐的惊呼及其后来的做法又会引起什么样的思考?让我们一起品读吧。
