找準連接詞， 巧析段落句

A. 連接詞

連接詞語是連接詞與詞，短語與短語以及句與句的詞，常用連接詞語用法小結如下：

1. 表選擇關系或對等關系的連接詞語：and， as well as...， both... and...， either... or...， neither... nor， or等。

2. 表轉折關系的連接詞：and yet， at the same time（然而）yet， but， on the contrary， on the other hand， however， while等。

3. 表解釋說明的連接詞：and so on， and the like， that is， that is to say， in other words， such as， for instance等。

4. 表因果關系或對等關系的連接詞：as a result， as a result of...， because of， due to...， therefore， so， owing to， thanks to等。

5. 表遞進關系的連接詞：above all， besides， not only... but （also）， whats more， whats worse， in addition， worse still， moreover等。

6. 表示總結的連接詞：briefly， in a word， on the whole， in short， in brief， to sum up， in all等。

B. 段落結構分析

英語段落結構一般有三部分構成：主題句+擴展句+結尾句。

1. 主題句：是英語文章段落的中心思想句。它是英語文章段落的靈魂，在英語文章段落中居于主導地位。我們都知道英語文章一般喜歡開門見山，所以主題句一般位于英語文章段落的句首。其他句子都要圍繞它而展開。例如：Our life today depends very much on energy. In towns and in villages， on farms and in factories， machines have made life easier than it used to be. The machines use energy， and energy is needed for heating， lighting， communications， carrying goods—everything. Factories and industrial plants use a great deal of energy to make the things that we use and buy and sell.

2. 擴展句：是為主題句起解釋說明或論證的句子。通常我們寫擴展句所采用的方法是舉例子、列數(shù)據(jù)（according to the recent study / survey）等。例如：（主題句） There are several factors affecting climate. （擴展句1） One factor is the amount of sunlight received. （擴展句2） Altitude， or the height above sea level， also determines climate. （擴展句3） The oceans have an effect on the climate of adjacent land. （擴展句4） In addition， climate is influenced by the general circulation of the atmosphere.

3. 結尾句：結尾句就是總結句。英語寫作也類似于漢語寫作，最后再把自己本段落的寫作目的陳述一下。但是在英語寫作中結尾句畢竟還是少數(shù)。

C. 相關練習

選詞填空

then； later； since； whenever； on the other hand；

and； once； while； on the contrary； in the first case

Do you want to live with a strong sense of peacefulness， happiness， goodness and selfrespect？ The collection of happiness actions broadly categorized as “honor” helps you create this life of good feelings.

Heres an example to show how honorable actions create happiness. Say a store clerk fails to charge us for an item. If we keep silent， and profit from the clerks mistake， we would drive home with a sense of sneaky excitement. （1） we might tell our family or friends about our good fortune. （2） ， if we tell the clerk about the uncharged item， the clerk would be grateful and thank us for our honesty. We would leave the store with a quiet sense of honor that we might never share with another soul.

（3） ， what is it to do with our sense of happiness？

（4） ， where we dont tell the clerk， a couple of things would happen. Deep down inside we would know ourselves as a type of thief. In the process， we would lose some peace of mind and selfrespect. We would also demonstrate that we cannot be trusted， （5） we advertise our dishonor by telling our family and friends. We damage our own reputations by telling others. （6） ， bringing the error to the clerks attention causes different things to happen. Immediately the clerk knows us to be honorable. Upon leaving the store， we feel honorable and our selfrespect is increased. （7） we take honorable action we gain the deep internal rewards of goodness and a sense of nobility.

There is a beautiful positive cycle that is created by living a life of honorable actions. Honorable thoughts lead to honorable actions. Honorable actions lead us to a happier existence. （8） its easy to think and act honorably again when were happy. （9） the positive cycle can be difficult to start， （10） its started， its easy to continue. Keeping on doing good deeds brings us peace of mind， which is important for our happiness.
