总结:描写变化的基本原则是地图每个细节都要提到,不要忽视细节。

要注意描写变化的书写顺序,一般分为时间顺序和空间顺序。To

注意文章的时态,如果地图题反映的是一个地方过去的一段时间的变化,则文章用一般过去时。如果地图题反映的是一个地方将来一段时间的变化趋势,则文章用一般将来时或表“估计”的词汇。如果地图题反映的是一个地方从过去到现在的变化,可用现在完成时。

二、How to describe maps.

地图题只考查两个类型,一个是选址类考题,要根据地理位置的描述来择优选择建设方案。这类题写法上往往先介绍图片上事物所处的位置,接着说明影响方案选择的因素,如涉及空间、交通和环境,最后确定哪个方案最好。另一类地图题是某个区域内,某个事物不同

年代的变化情况。

be near 距离某处很近

be next to 紧邻

空间表达时需要注意区分:在空间状语里,in 表内部,on 表接壤,to 表分开。常用的空间词:lies 靠近is located 坐落is situated in 位于across 交叉parallel 平行intersect 交点near/next to/close to/adjacent to 靠近on the …side of the …面on both sides of 两边just off …靠近on the opposite side 在另一边on the border 在边缘上

center/middle/central area 中间例句:It lies 450 kilometers from the nearest city, which is on the north side of the KK mountain. Part 3:表顺序表顺序的使用在流程图中是典型,表顺序的关联词能够使描述的流程更加清晰,结构条理明显。就如我们常用的产品安装说明一样,标明了1、2、3、4 步,简洁明了。常见的表顺序的连词如下:开始:first of all, initially, to begin with, in the first place, first, the first stage involves …, during, in the first place 其次:second, then, next, also, in the second stage, following this/that, afterwards the first (reason) is 然后: after that, at the same time, in the meantime, meanwhile, prior to, until, in the third stage, in addition, at the same time, from that moment on, once when 最终:finally, lastly, in the final stage, in the end 例句:First the fruit is picked from trees by hand. It is then transported to the cannery by large trucks. Part 4:表动作动词部分应当是流程和地图题的重点,这里要做一个明确的区分:流程图的动作以流程步骤中的操作动作为主,而地图题中的动作以地理位置变迁的变化动词为主。

词汇分成两大部分:

A. 流程动词:细节动作:lay, put 放strike 打compress 压缩release 释放move, flow 流动press 按压adjust 调整rotate 旋转chop 砍grind 磨碎light 点燃burn 燃烧ignite 点燃reflect 反光turn up 调高turn down 调低wind 缠绕unwind 解开revolve 旋转unfold 打开reverse 颠倒,倒转heat up 加热expand 膨胀bend 弯曲spin 旋转

absorb 吸收evaporate 蒸发volatilize 挥发draw 提取poured into 倒入变化:accumulate 积累gather/collect 收集obtain 获得turn off 关闭cool down 冷却

disconnect 断开连接renovate 革新,更新,修复process 加工fade 褪色increase 增长promote 促进;升职reduce 减少renew 使更新,使恢复convey 运送replace 取代shrink 收缩melt 溶解heal 治愈recycle 回收组成:be made up of 由...组成be made of 由...制成separate 分开
