如何推测语气、态度
推测作者或文章中所提到人物的语气、态度的关键是看文中用到的描述性词语或陈述观点看法时采用的语句,通过语言中的感情色彩来判断是客观(objective)还是主观(subjective),是积极(positive)还是消极(negative),是批判(critical)还是漠不关心(indifferent)等。

For_economic_growth.
2.Pollution is a serious problem around the world,and much effort has been put into the fight against it.Do you think things will change significantly in the future? Why?(The answers may vary.)
I predict that the world will be much cleaner and greener in the future.First,cars running on traditional fuels will be replaced by those powered by new energy, such as electricity or solar energy.As a result, the effects of greenhouse gases on the climate will be significantly reduced.Second, almost all reading and writing will be done on computer and phone screens,so people will cut down fewer trees and use less paper.Third, new technologies will be invented to make sure that our daily activities do not have a negative impact on the environment.

本文的语篇类型为电视访谈。访谈文体的基本结构为“总—分”式,形式为主持人提问,被访问者回答,依靠一问一答推动访谈的进行。如本文以主持人采访嘉宾的形式展开,讨论了经济发展与环境保护之间的关系,强调了在发展经济的同时,应确保自然环境不被破坏。注意阅读此类文章时,主持人提出的问题表明或者引出不同的小主题,把这些问题串联起来,找到问题答案的核心内容,即可把握文章的主旨脉络与主旨大意。
(一)赏用词之妙
1.Then heavy industry factories moved in, and things became entirely different.
赏析:本句中使用了副词entirely来修饰形容词different,以强烈的语气表达出空气质量与之前截然不同。
2.The smog in the air has coloured the sky a smoky grey; it's also given me a cough that I can't get rid of.
赏析:句中的colour为名词活用作动词,指的是雾霾把天空染成了烟灰色,形象生动地描述出空气污染的严重性。
3.People tend to connect factories with pictures of clouds of dirty smoke and irresponsible businessmen eager to make huge profits.
赏析:本句中使用了大量描述性词语,增加了语言的感情色彩,同时令表达更生动形象,具有强烈的画面感。
4.It has to be a community-wide effort, and everyone can help by following the golden rule: reduce, reuse and recycle.
赏析:本句中运用了三个相同前缀的动词来描述个人可以采取的环保行动。用词精练且相同的词缀增加了语言的韵律感,同时起到加深读者印象的作用。

烟囱冒着滚滚浓烟。
(二)赏句式之高
1.Joining us in the studio tonight are James Smith, a local resident; Vincent Brown, senior manager of a local factory; and Julie Archer, chief of the Norgate Environmental Protection Committee.
赏析:本句把作表语的现在分词提至句首,使用了倒装语序。在写作中可用倒装语序起到强调突出、保持句子平衡的作用。此外,句中的三个并列主语后都使用了同位语,对主语进行说明,使表达更清晰明了。
2.We've been taking various measures, including the use of new technologies, to reduce pollution in the production process, even though these measures raise our production costs.
赏析:本句中使用了现在完成进行时表达这些工厂为了改善环境一直在努力。现在完成进行时表示某一动作由过去持续到现在,现在还在进行。此外,句中还运用了even though引导的让步状语从句描述新措施造成成本增加,来强调工厂为改善环境所作出的牺牲。
3.With pollution levels on the rise, the Norgate Environmental Protection Committee is searching for ways to fight the problem.
赏析:本句中使用了with复合结构,属于写作中的高级表达,一方面可以增加句式的多样化,另一方面用简洁的语言表达丰富的内涵,起到了更好的表达效果。
4.Mrs Archer, what are your thoughts on how to deal with pollution?
赏析:此处使用了“特殊疑问词+不定式”在句中作介词on的宾语,该句式结构紧凑,言简意明,能给文章增色添彩。
[提能训练] (完成句子)

⑤It is my honour to be here to share with you my opinions on what_to_learn in senior high school.
我很荣幸在这里和大家分享有关在高中要学习什么的看法。
(三)赏修辞之功
It's our duty to protect the environment while we aim for economic development.It's our duty to leave a better, cleaner and healthier planet to our children.It's our duty to build a human community with a shared future.
赏析:此处运用了三个结构相同、意义相关、语气一致的语言单位构成平行结构,令语言表达铿锵有力,节奏明快且有较强的影响力和感染力。三个句式中都使用了it作形式主语,不定式短语作真正的主语。形式主语it的使用既可以平衡句式结构,又可以令表达更灵活、更多样化。
[提能训练] (完成句子并体会平行结构的用法)
