2014高考英语作文写作专项训练之说明文 （基于2013全国各地高考试题的分析整理）

一、 文体题型概述 （一）统计分析

说明文是今年来高考英语书面表达比较常见的一种体裁，其特点是对事物或做事情的方法进行客观地介绍。有些书面表达题虽是以应用文的形式出现的，但其主要内容也属于说明文。以下是2013年高考说明文的分类统计：

分析上表可以看出，去年高考英语说明文以图画或者文字形式出现，并且常与其他文体

整合考察。要求学生能够按照一定的说明顺序对一定事物或事理进行介绍和说明，以达到实际应用和交际的目的。 （二）技巧策略

写说明文宜采用三段式：第一段主要介绍要说明的对象及说明的目的；第二段说明事物的主要特征或做事情的方法步骤；第三段进行总结概括。时态通常用一般现在时。

写作时应遵循以下几个步骤：

1、仔细审题，明确说明对象，抓住要说明的事物或事理的主要特征。

2、选择合理的说明顺序（时间顺序、空间顺序或逻辑顺序）分层次进行说明，注意条理清晰。

3、选择恰当的说明方法，比如定义法、举例法、比较法和细节描述法等，不要遗漏主要内容。
