product ofhis time.时势造英雄。写作要求精练，因为，简洁的表达能起到更加强调的作用。我们要写出效果好、影响大的文章，就要想方设法：1.避免使用空洞、多余的短语；2.避免过多地使用较长的句子结构，如并列句和从属句等；3.避免不必要的重复。请看下面各例：l.Owingt。the fact that I had a lot of work to do,it wasnt possible for me to accepttheir invitation.本句要表达的意思很简单，可是一堆空洞的短语使句子显得很累赘，改为下面的句子就简洁明了多了。修改：Iwas to。busyto accept their invitation.2.He is a man who is honest,who always payshis just debts,and who observes the golden rules in his dealings withothers.英语中比较重要的从属概念可用从句的形式表达，其它次要的概念常用词或短语来表达，因为句子比短语显得更重要。考研教育网提醒大家，过多地使用从句会把次要的与主要的概念混为一谈，削弱句子的重点。该句可改为：修改：He is an honest man who always payshis just debts,and who observes the golden rules in his dealings withothers.3.My hometown is a quiet,peaceful place.It is quiet and peacefulbecause of the small number of people living there.有时为了构成平行的句子结构或达到强调的目的，我们会重复使用某些词语。但是，无目的地重复会导致笨拙。所以本句可改为：修改：My hometown is aquiet,peaceful place because of the small number of people.【正确答案】考研英语写作注意事项：句子要简洁第16题【单选题】We have to modify our plan a

break free of all the ideas that we take forgranted.Because we can feel that things are heavy,we think of weightas being a fixed quality in an object,but it is not really fixed at all.If youcould take a one-pound packet of butter 4,000 miles out from the earth,it would weigh only a quarter of a pound.How much would four poundsof tea weigh if it was taken 4,000 miles out from the surface of theearth?A、1 pound.B 2 pounds.C 3 pounds.D、4 pounds.【正确答案】A【答案解析】本题问的是一磅茶如果被带出离地球表面4000英里的地方，重量会是多少？4000这个数字比较关键，因为在本段最后一句中出现了这个词，一看该句If you could takea one-pound packet of butter 4,000 miles out from

feel bad.This wasn/t always so.The earliest formsof art,like painting and music,are those best suited for expressing joy.But somewhere from the 19th century onward,more artists beganseeing happiness as meaningless,phony or,worst of all,boring,as wewent from Wordsworths daffodils to Baudelaires flowers of evil.Youcould argue that art became more skeptical of happiness becausemodern times have seen so much misery.But its not as if earlier timesdidnt know perpetual war,disaster and the massacre of innocents.Thereason,in fact,may be just the opposite:there is too much damnhappiness in the world today.After all,what is the one modern form ofexpression almost completely dedicated to depicting happiness?Advertising.The rise of anti-happy art almost exactly tracks theemergence of mass media,and with it,a commercial culture in whichhappiness is not just an ideal but an ideology.People in earlier eras weresurrounded by reminders of misery.They worked until exhausted,livedwith few protections and died young.In the West,before masscommunication and literacy,the most powerful mass medium was thechurch,which reminded worshippers that their souls were in danger andthat they would someday be meat for worms.Given all this,they did notexactly need their art to be a bummer too.Today the messages theaverage Westerner is surrounded with are not religious but commercial,and forever happy.Fast-food eaters,news anchors,text messengers,allsmiling,smiling,smiling.Our magazines feature beaming celebrities andhappy families in perfect homes.And since these messages have anagendato lure us to open our walletsthey make the very idea ofhappiness seem unreliable.Celebrate!”commanded the ads for thearthritis drug Celebrex,before we found out it could increase the risk ofheart attacks.But what we forgetwhat our economy depends on usforgettingis that happiness is more than pleasure without pain.Thethings that bring the greatest joy carry the greatest potential for loss anddisappointment.Today,surrounded by promises of easy happiness,weneed art to tell us,as religion once did,Memento mori:remember thatyou will die,that everything ends,and that happiness comes not indenying this but in living with it.It/s a message even more bitter than aclove cigarette,yet,somehow,a breath of fresh air.A、poetry is not as expressive of joy as painting or musicB、art grows out of both positive and negative feelingsC、poets today are less skeptical of happinessD、artists have changed their focus of interest【正确答案】D【答案解析】该问提到两位诗人的目的何在。原文举这两位诗人是为了说明艺术家的转变：过去描述幸福，后来描述不幸。因此D为正确答案。A、religiousB、unpleasantC、entertainingD、commercial【正确答案】B【答案解析】从上下段可以看出过去人不好过日子，所以选词义表示“负面的、不好的选项。四个选项中，只有B令人不快的符合题意。A、emerges in the wake of the anti-happy artB、is a cause of disappointment for the general publicC、replaces the church as a major source of informationD、creates an illusion of happiness rather than happiness itself【正确答案】D【答案解析】由原文可知，如今的广告给人造成幸福的幻觉,而非真的幸福，那么D 为正确答案。A、happiness more often than not ends in sadnessB、the anti-happy art is distasteful but refreshingC、misery should be enjoyed rather than deniedD、the anti-happy art flourishes when economy booms【正确答案】B【答案解析】注意原文we need someone to tell u s，yet,somehow,a breath of fresh air.”（忧愁的艺术告诉我们的尽管苦涩，却带来一股令我们清醒的清新气息。本句中someone就是指本篇讨论的现代艺术，而现代艺术的本质是anti-happy 的。看看 B 中 more bitter”对应distasteful；”a breathof fresh air”对应refreshing。而 that happiness comes not indenying this but in living with it 中的代词 this/it 都是指人生的unhappiness,意思也就是m isery,这句话的意思是幸福不在于否认生活中有m isery,而是应该去接受或容忍它。命题者将这句话前错后对地改写了，Misery should be enjoyedrather than denied.这里enjoy作者用了个非常具有干扰性的词。A、Religion once functioned as a reminder of misery.B、Art provides a balance between expectation and reality.C、People feel disappointed at the realities of modern society.D、Mass media are inclined to cover disasters and deaths.【正确答案】A【答案解析】由文中可知，宗教在过去提醒人们苦难的存在,如今宣传不幸的艺术起着同样的作用。A说到了宗教的这一作用，为正确答案。第22题【单选题】Secondary school had its own share of challenges.I was a tall kid andwasnt good at any sport,except looking.I
