因此,应该采取有效措施缓解严重的交通堵塞问题。第一,通过提高税费限制私家车拥有率(保有量)。第二,应该鼓励和推广低碳的公交车、地铁等公共交通工具,以便我们拥有更顺畅的交通。
名师点评
① it is more of a parking lot than a crowded street: more of A than B的结构,通过字面可以理解成:更多的是A而不是B。
翻译的时候,往往翻译成:与其说是B,不如说是A。
反过来,当我们想用英语表达“与其……不如……”的时候,我们可以采用这个结构。
实际上,这个结构在历年真题阅读中曾多次出现。如2000年Text 3中的选项:Futurist poetry is more of a transient phenomenon than literature。
② With the number of private cars increasing: with 短语表伴随,翻译成“随着”。
③ exhausted gas emitted by cars: 其中emitted by cars是过去分词短语作后置定语。
相当于定语从句:gas which is emitted by cars(被汽车排放的尾气)。
写法:请参考《商业行贿》点评第①条。
④ taxes levied on the sales of private cars: 其中levied on the sales of private cars(针对私家车被征的税),为过去分词做定语。写法:请参考《商业行贿》点评第①条。
九、科技与生活
思路点拨
图中描述的是武广高铁的开通,给城际交通带来了极大便利。表面上看,它反映
的是城市与城市之间距离被“缩短”的问题,但是更深层次来讲,是科技带来了这一切,
所以这幅图可以有两个切入点:城际交通、科技改变生活。本文作者选取了第二个角
度为主要论述视角。
第一段:图画描述;第二段:两个角度论述科学技术是第一生产力;第三段:提
出建议、展望未来。
思维拓展
科技的话题,实际上是映射热点问题:上海世博。
世博的主题“城市让生活更美好”,其中一个侧面就是城市与科技。
可以反映“科技”主题的图片有很多,如现代通讯、网络等。
例如下图,表面上看是反对迷信,深层含义实际上就是崇尚科学。
崇尚科学

As is vividly depicted by the picture above, a traveler happily starts his journey by high-speed railway from Guangzhou to Wuhan. In the year of 2009, Wuhan-Guangzhou high-speed railway went into operation, reducing travelling time from 12 hours to 3 hours, bringing much convenience to the transportation between the two cities①. No wonder the caption in the picture says “with the Wu-Guang high-speed railway, cities far away is just like a place nearby”。
Science and technology are the primary productive forces② and have been playing a key role in the national economy development. On the one hand, progress in science and technology has promoted economic and social progress greatly. Take the high-speed railway as an example. Firstly, the railway becomes a new engine③ of booming of regional economic.
Secondly, the railway helps to attract a lot of tourists, so that tourism in these cities flourishes. Last but not the least, the load
of the existing transportation network can be released to a great extent. On the other hand, with the development of science
