Researchers were particularly concerned about its
8、 structure and functions. It was not long ago that scientists made the remarkable discovery that our brains are divided into two halves-left brain and right brain, and that each half has separate features and roles. The left brain is said to be the logical brain. It is the left brain that we use to
9、solve mathematical problems and go think logically. For example, if you are asked how to make coffee, this is what hap-pens. Your left brain begins to work; it searches its files for information on coffee making. If it finds the files, it begins relating what to do step. If it does not find any reco

This contains all the artistic functions, including art and music appreciation. When you want to draw a picture or compose a piece of music or write poetry, it is the right b

To some people, the left brain is dominant and to others, the right brain is. Of people who are good in mathematics and language expression-that is, putting into practice w

They are the type who will not believe in anything until they see it. Right brained people are more artistic and have a go
13、od sense of music appreciation. They are also more sensitive and tend to be emotional. They are more open to new ideas and are willing to accept radical positions. Is the left brain better or the right brain? Both sides of the brain are equally important. In an ideal situation, a person should be ex
14、actly equal in both sides of the brain. However, as in most things, the ideal never happens. People are dominated by one or the other side of their rains. In order to function effectively in the world, we must learn to use both sides of the brain. In many situations that we meet in the world, there
15、will be requirements for both sides of the brain to work together as partners. For example, when you want to write a story, which brain do you use? The answer is both brains. You need the right brain to think of the ideas and you need the left 10 side to arrange everything in a logical sequence. You

However, many aspects concerning our brains still remain unknown. With scientists persistent efforts, more secrets of the human brain will be reveale

24、ousy time. It was a wasted semester. I did learn a few things, though. First, when I plan on rooming with a non-college person, I am taking the risk that he or she will not be around for an entire semester. Next, if you want to be bored to death, live at home. Ive now decided that the best place for
25、 me is the dormitories, and thats where Im living next semester. That way Ill have the library to study in, and plenty of people around for social life. Besides, nothing would be worse than living in three different places in one semester.)解析:解析: 这是一篇记叙文。文章是以列举的写作方式,按照时间发展的先后顺序展开的。基于记叙文写作的六要素:时间,地点,
26、人物,起因,经过和结果,文章的最后应该是事件发展的结果。首先分析一下前边几段的内容和相互间的联系。 第一段:介绍的是事件发生的时间、地点以及事件的主人公一一我,主要讲到我大学的第一个学期是我有史以来最差的。开始的时候一切顺利。我决定在夏天和两个高中时很要好的同学一起在学校外租房住。我们找到了一个足够漂亮的公寓,离学校两英里远。但问题就从这个时候开始了。 第二段:讲的是事件的开端,即:决定和我合租公寓的两个女孩中的一个要放弃上大学,One of the two girls I was to share an apartment with was going to work instead of
27、going to college而去工作。然而就在我们就要搬进去之前的一个星期,那个女孩发现她不能找到她期待的工作,She found out that she did not get the job she had been counting on。她只能住在家里,而我们两个则陷入了承担每月高额的房租的泥潭中。我们维持了一个月,但最终我们不能支撑下去了,所以Joan 搬了出去,我又开始寻找房子。 (1)share with 分享 (2)count on 期望 (3)be stuck with 被困住 第三段:写的是事件的发展,即:我又找到了另一所公寓,租金还好。房间带一个四人共用的浴室。这地
28、方很吵,但这是我那时能支付得起的最好的地方。然而有一天,当我从学校回来,发现有烟从屋子后面冒出来。等火被扑灭的时候,我的房间已经化为灰烬,My room was a charred mess。不可能再在那儿住了,我只好再次搬家。 be a charred mess 化为灰烬 第四段:是事件的进一步发展高潮,即:在利用全部的周末找住宿的地方后,我最终放弃了,于是搬回了家。我不得不每天开 40 多英里的车去学校,所以在油费上花的钱足可以租房了。每天,我开车去学校,到教室上课,回家,然后在家坐在一个空荡荡的屋子里几个小时。我烦透了,甚至失去了学习的兴趣。这个学期就一直在搬家,我的精神根本就没有集中在
29、学习上,所以这学期就这样过去了。 通过前四段作者的经历,我们最后需要补充的一段内容就比较容易确定。从记叙文的结构看,这里应该是事件发展的结果;从文章的内容看,这里应当是屡次搬家给作者带来的影响和教训。写作是一定要与 My first semester of college was the worst Ive been through 相呼应。 下面来看一下句子的组织: (1)我以很低的成绩结束了这个学期的生活。 I finished the semester with low grades (2)然而,我学到了一些东西。 I did learn a few things,though 其他说法
30、: However, I learned a lot from it (3)take the risk of 冒险 当你打算和一个不上大学的人合租房子时,你就冒着一定的风险,他很可能一个学期都不在。 When you plan on rooming with a non-college person,you are taking the risk that he or she will not be around for an entire semester 其他说法: When you are going to share a room with a person who is not in
31、 college,you are running risk that he or she may not appear for the whole semester (4)be bored to death 无聊致死 如果你想无聊致死,就待在家里。 If you want to be bored to death,live at home (5)这样,我就又可以在图书馆学习,并且参加集体生活。 That way I will have the library to study in and plenty of people around for social life 其他说法: In tha

44、一部分为文章的第一段,通过介绍人们对人脑工作的好奇及研究人员对其结构和功能的密切关注,从而提出本文的主题思想句:Not long ago that scientists made the remarkable discovery that our brains are divided into two halvesleft brain and right brain,and that each half has seperate features and roles主题思想句是全文叙述内容的归结,为下文作出了很好的铺垫。 第二部分为文章的第二、三段,在这两段中分别介绍了左脑和右脑的不同特点及作
45、用,主要从两个方面进行叙述:第一方面左脑被人们称为逻辑性大脑(logical brain),我们常常通过左脑解决数学问题以及进行逻辑思维。文章以沏茶为例,进一步说明左脑是如何进行思维的。 第二方面右脑通常被称为创造性头脑(creative brain),它可以使人们进行创造性思维,这种思维为人们提供了艺术及音乐方面的欣赏能力。文章以画图、谱写音乐、写诗等为例,强调了右脑的这种创造性思维在生活中的运用。 第三部分为文章的第四、五、六段,着重通过介绍左脑和右脑谁起主导作用展开叙述,从而进一步得出二者同等重要的结论。这一部分可划分为三个方面:第一方面,对于一些人来说,左脑起着主导作用,而另一些人则是
46、右脑起主导作用。 (1)左脑起主导作用的人的特点: 擅长数学和语言表达; 不是很敏感,相信靠推理得出的结论; 善于发现论点,相信亲眼所见的事实。 (2)右脑起主导作用的人的特点: 更具艺术感及很好的音乐欣赏能力; 敏感,易于情绪化; 喜欢汲取新思想并乐于接受一些比较激进的观点。 第二方面,通过设问句(左脑和右脑,谁更为重要?)提出二者同等重要的结论并进一步展开论述。理想情况下二者应该是同等重要。然而,大多数情况下,这种理想情况从未发生过,人们总是被某个半脑控制着。为了有效发挥二者的作用。我们必须学会如何使用左脑和右脑,使它们如同搭档一般工作。 第三方面,从根本上说,人们有必要了解有关人脑的一些
47、有趣的事实。然而,人脑的诸多方面尚为迷津,相信在科学家的不懈努力下,更多有关人脑的秘密将被揭晓。 通过以上分析,我们不难看出,文章的六个段落之间存在着相互依存的紧密关系。本文围绕科学家有关人脑发现的简要介绍一左脑和右脑的不同特点及作用一左脑和右脑合作情况三部分展开。 大纲也可以照此脉络来组织。 原文中部分有益的短语: (1)step by step 逐渐地;一步一步地 egHe learnt the rules of the game step by step他逐渐学会了游戏的规则。 (2)be sharp at 对敏锐;对机敏 egThe little boy is extremely sharp at finding unusual phenomena happening in the atmosphere这个小男孩对于大气中存在的异常现象感觉很敏锐。 (3)go through 遭受;经历;忍受(be through) egThe
