英文段落的这种各个句子与主题的关联性被称作段落的统一性。
请看以下两例:
(1)

(2)语篇的连贯性
英语议论文的段落多采取直线展开式,即段落开始直接切入主题,并给出事实、例证、推理等。
英语议论文段落这种展开方式是形成其语篇连贯的基础。
语篇的连贯是指段落中各句的意义通过某种有序的排列(如时间顺序、因果顺序、逻辑顺序等)而相互关联。
在论述该段落主题的时候,每后一个句子都是建立在前面一个句子的基础之上的。
如果去掉段落中的一个句子,这种连贯便会受到影响,就会造成读者在理解上的困难。
3.议论文中心段落的主题句及其论据、议论文中常用的词句与短语
(1)议论文中心段落的主题句及其论据
一篇议论文能否获得高分与其中心段落主题句的质量不无关联,而主题句质量的高低则又取决于审题的好坏和论据的选择(即所选的论据在逻辑性、说理性、准确性及与主题内容的关联性等方面是否都经得起推敲)。
需要明确的是,中心段落只应有两个组成部分:
段落的主题句和支持主题句的论据。
段落的主题句也应有两个部分组成,即:
主题句=主题+作者对主题的看法或态度,两者缺一不可。
假设应试者被要求写一篇有关吸烟的议论文,那么SMOKING就是中心段落的主题。
请看下面这个主题句:
Smokingisahabitofmanymen.
该主题句暴露出两个问题:
(1)作者审题不清;
(2)作者没有表明对主题的看法或态度。
一般说来,议论文要求应试者阐明自己对某问题的看法或态度。
因此当我们拿到议论文的题目以后,要认真审题,权衡某事的利与弊,然后确定我们的立场。
如何构建段落的主题句呢?
拿到议论文的题目以后,经认真审题后,用英文列出你所能想起的与主题有关的例证。
我们还用吸烟这个话题为例:
SMOKING
1.Smokingcancausesuchadiseaseaslungcancer.
2.Reportssaythatmerely3gramsofnicotinecankillalargeanimal.
3.Expertssaythatsmokingonecigarettecanreduceone’slifebyabout15
minutesandthatchainsmokingisevenmorehazardous.
4.Smokingafteramealcanalsodisturbone’sdigestivesystem.
5.Heavysmokingcanseriouslyaffectanadult’ssexuality.
6.Smokingdoesharmtosecond-handsmokersaswell.
7.Smokingmakesone’smouthsmell.
8.Thelifeexpectancyofsmokersisshorterthanthatofnonsmokers.
9.Smokinginbedmaycausefire..
根据上面所列出的七个句子,我们可以选择以下两个主题句,即:
<
Smokingisabadhabit.
Smokingisabadhabitthatdoesalotofharmtohumanhealth.
第一个主题句表明了作者的态度,但不如第二个具体,因此在展开中心段落时不仅要谈吸烟对人体健康的不良影响,还要涉及吸烟在其它方面造成的危害。
这样的段落考生较难掌握。
因此主题句越是相对地具体段落就越好展开。
但这并不等于说第一个主题句不好;
如果主题句太过具体,段落可展开的范围就会过窄。
如果范围较窄,有些考生所能列出的例证就会相对较少,整篇文章写下来后可能达不到所要求的字数。
因此选择哪一个主题句要视具体情况而定。
用于支持段落主题句的论据其实就是我们开始列出的那些例证,但应视主题句所涉及范围的大小而有所取舍。
下面我们就上面的两个主题句分别构建两个不同的中心段落:
Smokingisabadhabit.Foronething,smokinginbedmaycauseaterriblefire.Foranother,regularsmokingmakesone’smouthsmellbad.Andworstofall,cigarettesmokingdoesgreatharmtohumanhealth.Inmanycases,cigarettehasprovedtobethedirectcauseofsuchafataldiseaseascancer-henceitsnickname,"
