針對這種現(xiàn)象,專家分析了近年的考題,對雙邊討論型文章的架構(gòu)進行了較為明確的分類,以幫助學生更好地分析題目,更為準確地構(gòu)建雙邊結(jié)構(gòu)。
一、利弊分析
09.1.17 Nowadays, people in some countries can choose to live and work anywhere they want, because of the improvement of the communication technology and transport. Do the advantages of this development outweigh the disadvantages?
此類題目中常有利弊字眼,或者在指令部分提出進行利弊對比分析,常見詞如“advantage, benefit, usefulness(好處);disadvantage, drawback, limitation(壞處)等”,考生只需對題目細節(jié)進行把握,弄清主旨,再構(gòu)建“好處”—— “壞處”的主體部分,列舉觀點。
該題主要就“人們可以隨意選擇生活和工作的地方”的現(xiàn)象進行討論,考生可多聯(lián)系社會現(xiàn)狀,總結(jié)利弊即可。

2010.2.20 Most countries want to improve standard of living through economic development, however, others think social value is lost as a result. Do you think the advantages of economic development outweigh the disadvantages?
二、補充說明
09.2.28 Some people believe that the best way to improve public health is by increasing the number of sports facilities. Others think that this has little effect and other measures are required. Discuss both views and give your opinion.
此類題目特點十分突出,一方面有“the only, the most…”等強調(diào)字眼,另一方面提出“other”的其他觀點,細想之下,后者似對前者的補充,主體段可先對前者進行承認,但不要承認其絕對性,為后文做好鋪墊,在論述另一方面時,主要使用列舉法進行說明。
該題是對“如何提高公眾健康”的措施進行討論,首先可分析建設體育設施的好處所在,再列舉一些其他有效措施,便可以達到兩面兼顧又不至于偏頗的目的。

2010.2.6 Air travel can only benefit the richest people in the world. The ordinary people can get no advantage with the development of air travel. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
三、對立比較
09.1.15 Students at schools and universities learn far more from lessons with teachers than from other sources (such as the Internet, television). To what extent do you agree or disagree?
此類題目的特點是:兩方面在某種層面上屬于對立關系,可以分別討論其利弊,以達到比較的效果。就該題而言,“跟老師學還是從其他資源上獲得知識”是個老話題,分別討論教師的作用和其他來源的好處,進行對比便是應對此題的最好辦法,有時雙方互為優(yōu)劣,僅提及好處即可。
相似考題:
2010.2.11 Some people think that politicians have the greatest influence on the world. Other people, however, believe that scientists have the greatest influence. Discuss both of views and give your opinion.
四、分類說明
09.4.30 Some people think museums should be enjoyable places to attract and entertain young people. Others think the purpose of museums is to educate, not to entertain. Discuss both views and give your own opinion.
這類題目常讓考生覺得棘手,兩個方面似乎都有道理,但處理不好又會“搬起石頭砸自己的腳”,前后論述自相矛盾。這個時候,如果能夠?qū)︻}目進行分類說明,便豁然開朗。
該題主要討論的是“博物館的功能”是教育還是娛樂,科技、自然博物館及一些主題博物館如杜莎夫人蠟像館都是屬于后者,而歷史、軍事乃至革命博物館就有前者意義。

A hundred years ago, people think that human race is steadily improving in every area of life. Nowadays, there is no certainty of this case. In which areas do you think we have made important progress nowadays? In which areas do you think we still need to make progress?
針對這四種類型的分析方法,考生可利用歷年真題進行分析練習,做到“胸有成竹”,在下筆之前有個清晰明確的脈絡,做到“事半功倍”。
