# 1996年Text4一二段精读扩展范例

第一段

> What accounts for the great outburst of major inventions in early America -- breakthroughs such as the telegraph, the steamboat and the weaving machine?

* Account
  * 作名词常用搭配：on account of 由于，因为；on no account /not on any account决不；绝对不。
  * 作动词时：Account for sth. 有三层意思。占〔一定数量或比例〕:Afro-Americans account for 12% of the US population.非洲裔美国人占美国人口的 12%；是…的原因 Recent pressure at work may account for his behavior. 他的行为也许是最近的工作压力导致的；解释，说明Can you account for your movements on that night? 你能解释一下那晚的活动吗？
* Outburst: 爆发
* Breakthrough：重大突破。
  * 外刊例句：Given these differences, expectations for any major breakthrough from this visit are low.由于存在这些分歧，人们对这次访问取得任何重大突破的期待很低。

从这一段我们可以提炼出一个句型，例如谈诚信缺失的话题：**What accounts for the crisis of trust in today's society?** 在这句后面加两到三点原因一段内容就搞定了\~

第二段：

> Among the many shaping factors, I would single out the country’s excellent elementary schools; a labor force that welcomed the new technology; the practice of giving premiums to inventors; and above all the American genius for nonverbal, “spatial” thinking about things technological.

* single out：挑出，特别之处。
  * 外刊例句：He singled out corruption as the root cause of the country's woes.他指出腐败是该国苦难的根源。
* Excellent /outstanding/splendid /eminent
* elementary school:小学；Junior high school:初中；senior high school：高中；elementary rights基本权利
* 和钱有关的单词：premium：奖、奖金；cash现金；buck美金；coin硬币；note纸币；banknote钞票；fund 资金；change零钱；commission佣金；tuition学费；fare票价；admission入场费；cost成本；freight运费；postage邮费；rent租费；tip小费；red packet红包；phone bill电话费

这段话又可以提炼出一个作文句型，只要是涉及到原因都可以使用。**Among the many shaping factors, I would single out…A; B; and above all C.**

结合刚才总结的内容，一个很漂亮的表达就出来了（适用于所用解释原因的段落）：**What accounts for…话题…in today's society? Among the many shaping factors, I would single out…A; B; and above all C.**
