【正确答案】Life in college is drastically different from that in high school. More free time and fewer classes lead to popularity of finding boyfriends and girlfriends. Love on campus is ubiquitous nowadays. Namely, campus love is somewhat a pre-performance for seeking for one's spouse and marriage. I maintain the opinion that there are varieties of love on campus and each has its distinctive characteristics.
To begin with, the first type places emphasis on the process of love itself instead of the result. Most students of this type only want to experience the unique feeling between two young hearts when they fall in love. Actually, such kind of love is prevailing to some extent, through which, they would get to know each other better and establish a stable relationship. There is a Chinese saying going that we are just to acquire an experience of love but not an ever-lasting marriage. College students are around 20 years old and it is still too distant for them to get acquired what is the real concept of marriage itself.
The second type is focused on studying rather than spending time wandering on campus. Such students have already realized the importance of study while they still have boyfriends or girlfriends in their spare time. They well balance the relation between love and study and achieve in both aspects at length. I really appreciate this type of campus love which is sensible and calm.
The last type is quite open-minded boys and girls who lack moral ethics while they fall in love with each other. As the advancement of modern times and foreign cultures, many students have walked away from the traditional virtues in love and finally leave a negative effect on campus. They often turn a deaf ear to suggestions from parents and teachers and indulge in their own private domain.
Campus love is a two-edged sword which brings benefit and harm as well. It all depends on how you regulate it. The brilliant student is the one who can put study first. Generally speaking, campus love is immature in some way in prime age, when one has to be equipped with knowledge and thoughts.
【答案解析】[亮点回放]
· 用词亮点:
(1)第1段:popularity是“普及,流行”的意思,这里是名词,意为popular phenomenon,有时候简单的一个名词就能表达形容词加名词的意义;第2句中的ubiquitous是“到处存在,普遍存在”的意思,多用于对于常见现象的描述,与上文的popularity交相呼应,相当于can be seen everywhere的意思。varieties of相当于all kinds of,形容多种多样,还有一种用法various,后面可不跟of直接加名词。
(2)第2段:place emphasis指的是“着重……,重点加强……”。这里emphasis是名词,因此前面应搭配动词put或place,或者直接用被动态be emphasized on。prevailing是指“占优势的,主要的,流行的”的意思,相当于popular,其动词形式为prevail,意为“流行,盛行”。acquire是“获得,学到”的意思,通常与“知识”或“真理”搭配。
(3)第3段、第4段:第1句中的wander是动词,表示“漫步,徘徊”,文中指情侣们在校园内漫步,此词多用于表示因目标不明确而找不到方向的情况。relation和relationship的区别体现在关系的亲密度上,前者指一般的交往,后者指亲密的关系。at length是at last, finally(最后)的意思,作者此处目的是用词多样化。sensible是指“明智的,有判断力的”,词根是sense,可以发散出来许多词,如sensitive(敏感的),sensibility(敏感性,情感)。最后一句的turn a deaf ear to是“不听,忽略”的意思,从字面意思上看可以解释为“耳朵聋,听不见”。domain是“领土、领地”,此处强调学生的私人空间。
(4)最后一段:two-edged是合成词,edge是指“刀刃”,合起来是双刃的,有两个对立部分的意思,通常用在议论文中指一个事物有正反两个方面——benefit和harm。regulate是“管制,控制”的意思,这里表示学生如何处理,平衡学业和恋爱的关系。regulate的名词是regulation,表示“规章、规则”。brilliant原义是“灿烂的,耀眼的”,这里表示“非常出色的,聪明的”学生。
· 句式亮点:
(1)第1段:第2句的比较级突出了高中生活与大学生活的巨大差异,为下文的讨论做了铺垫。以namely为首的句子一般是对上文的进一步解释说明。I maintain the opinion that通常是引出作者观点的点睛句。此外,还有I hold the opinion that, I believe that等句型。
(2)第2段:the first type is通常用在分类论述现象中,接下去可以用second type,依此类推。to some extent -般用在作者不是很确定的惰况下,表示委婉语气,也可以用to some degree、somewhat等。“There is a Chinese saying going that.…”是议论文中的黄金句型,表示“中国有句古话说得好”,此句型能增强说服力,通常是文章中的闪亮点。
(3)第3段、第4段:第3段最后一句I really appreciate自然地引出了作者倾向的观点,要比简单的I like...更好。As the advancement of modern times是议论文中形容社会进步与发展的典型句型,同样我们也可以说:with the development of modern times。
(4)最后一段:凡事都具有两面性。对于议论文来说,“…is a two-edged sword which brings benefit and harm as well”可谓是万能句。
· 篇章亮点:
(1)总的来看:本文属议论文,严格按照试题要求,先提出论点,然后进行论述,最后加以总结。
(2)第1段:先通过since从句和两个比较级简述大学生活的现状。接着用namely进一步解释说明,然后用“I maintain the opinion that...”引出观点。
(3)第2段:用to begin with引出第一个论据,简述当代大学生对于恋爱和婚姻的观点和看法,当代大学生普遍重视恋爱的过程而非结果,导致了大学生恋爱通常都是虎头蛇尾。
(4)第3段:the second type列举了大学生恋爱的另一种现象——在学业和恋爱中取得平衡。
(5)第4段:the last type列举了大学生们在恋爱中缺乏最基本的行为道德。
(6)最后一段:用一句中国的古话重申自己的观点。全篇论据充足有力,说服力强。
