SWT一直都是PTE考试的重中之重,由于PTE的交叉打分机制,SWT一定程度上也决定着阅读分数的高低。但因为机经命中率比较高,考生往往忽略了练习的重要性,背一遍机经就去考试了。考试的时候如果纯靠回忆,很容易在高度紧张的时候忘记,而且一旦题目稍有变化将会不知所措,大大影响作文成绩。所以在备考阶段,对每篇SWT真题进行透彻的学习和分析,才是正确的复习方法。
以下是高频考题 怀特兄弟 的分析,并附上高分参考答案。
(7plus原创,谢绝转载,违者必究)
Orville and Wilbur Wright were brothers living in Dayton, Ohio. The two had started making bicycles during the 1890s and had a successful small business selling their Wright Specials for $18 each ($475 in today’s green). This experience with building light, strong machines would prove valuable in the coming years after the brothers’ interest turned to flight.
Others in the United States were also developing aircraft at the time the Wright brothers started turning their curiosity skyward. Samuel Langley had flown an unmanned steam-powered aircraft in 1896. Octave Chanute and others were flying gliders near Chicago late in the decade as well. But it wasn’t until the Wright brothers started working on the matter that the “flying problem” would finally be solved.
Beginning in 1899, the brothers designed and built a series of gliders to test their various ideas on a flying machine. They constructed a wind tunnel that allowed them to test designs without having to build a full-size model. They even built their own gasoline-powered motor for their aircraft.
解析:
首先,阅读语段内⽆无明显转折,使得写DespiteA, B … 或 While A, B… 这样的句型成为不可能。对于这种同向类型的语段总结,同样需要明确这三件事情,即 Who Did What。我们可以看出,第一部分在介绍怀特兄弟早年年经历,及这些经历对后期发明⻜飞机模型的奠基作用,第二部分写其同时代的⼈人所做的研究及成果,第三部分写怀特兄弟的创举。由此,我们可以选择从怀特兄弟的创举开始写起,逐步添加之前的信息,使得我们写的语段信息完整,且突出其重点— 即怀特兄弟的划时代的突破。
Starting from 1899, the Whites' brothersdevised various specialized devices to test their ideas on flying and putthem into application;
此部分是在概括语段最后部分
their genius coupled with their early contactwith special materials help them beat their contemporaries and became theground breakers in flying.
此部分是在总结前两段信息,其中 coupled with their early contact with special materialshelp them beat their contemporaries 就已将第一二段重点信息总结完全。
最后附上参考答案:
Starting from 1899, the Whites' brothers devised various specialized devices to test their ideas on flying and put them into application; their genius coupled with their early contact with special materials help them beat their contemporaries and became the groundbreakers in flying. (共计 42词)
