二、說明文
說明文是對某事物的特征、功能、結(jié)構(gòu)、本質(zhì)、用途、原理、來源等進行客觀和具體的闡述。目的在于提供知識、表明觀點。在最近幾年的考研中，英語短文寫作的模式正在發(fā)生著一些顯著變化。其中之一就是“圖表作文”的頻繁出現(xiàn)。對于“圖表作文”的寫作形式而言，議論文體居多，但在寫作的過程中總是需要對“圖表”進行分析、說明以揭示某種現(xiàn)象或得出某種結(jié)果。所以我們要對說明文，尤其是對“圖表性”的說明文給予足夠的重視。

How to Build up Your Vocabulary
A vocabulary of a new language is acquired in several ways：by guessing from the context，by use of the dictionary in connection with our reading，and by special vocabulary drill apart from reading.Shall we build up our vocabulary slowly and laboriously so that years later we can read fluently；or shall we learn our vocabulary at the same time that we are reading? Perhaps the easiest and most interesting way to increase the vocabulary is to get a story written in an easy style(the teacher or librarian can recommend one)and read it as a story.To read a selection as a story means to read whole sentences and paragraphs rather than to translate word for word.Even though we lose the meaning here and there，we finally grow familiar with certain words without looking them up at all監(jiān)f course，this is just what we do in reading stories in our own language.Such reading gives us a better feeling for idiomatic usage and for syntax than would be gained from word瞗or瞱ord translation.(該段主要介紹了幾種擴大詞匯量的方法，但著重介紹了其中的一種，即“閱讀簡易小說”。這種說明方法稱為“比較法”。)
This“feeling”for vocabulary and usage must，of course，be verified and strengthened by definite study of rules and idioms.Rules of grammar are time瞫avers.A rule is a statement of the way things are ，or the way things act.(定義法)We might learn all the ways of the words in a given language by reading many books that have been written in it，and noticing the usual way of behavior of words.But we do not need to do this because it is what has been done by the men who tell us what the rules are.By using their work，we can save time and energy and make more rapid progress.(該段主要給我們講述了在單詞記憶過程中如何節(jié)約時間的問題，并且向我們推薦了一種比較好的節(jié)省時間的方法。說明方法有“對比法”和“下定義法”。)
Idiomatic expressions of whatever length should be learned as a whole，as though each expression were a word in a vocabulary.They should be learned by use both in reading and in conversation，and by drill.(該段主要介紹如何才能加深對詞匯的記憶，并指出了幾種記憶詞匯的方法。)(324 words)
分析：該篇短文運用“比較法”、“對比法”以及“下定義法”向我們介紹了記憶詞匯和鞏固記憶的諸多方法。條理分明，語言淺顯易懂，邏輯順序合理。
