Section C
【原文重現(xiàn)】
In the humanities, authors write to inform you in many ways. These methods can be (36) classified into three types of informational writing: factual, descriptive, and process. Factual writing provides (37) background
information on an author, composer or artist or on a type of music, literature, or art. Examples of factual writing include notes on a book jacket or (38) album cover and longer pieces, such as an article describing a style of music
which you might read in a music (39) appreciation course. This kind of writing provides a (40) context for your study of the humanities.
As its name (41) implies, descriptive writing simply describes or provides an (42) image of, a piece of music, art or literature. For example, descriptive writing might list the colors an artist used in a painting or the (43)
instruments a composer included in a musical composition, so as to make pictures of sounds in the readers’ mind by calling up specific details of the work. (44) Descriptive writing in humanity, particularly in literature is often mixed
with critical writing.
Process writing explains a series of actions that bring about a result. (45) It tells the reader how to do something, for example, explaining the technique used to show a film. This kind of writing is often found in art, where
understanding how an art has created a certain effect is important. (46)Authors may actually use more than one type of techniques in the given piece of informational writing.
【篇章結(jié)構(gòu)】
此次復(fù)合式聽寫的話題比較專業(yè)，介紹了三類寫作題材，即事實(shí)性的，描述性的和解說(shuō)性的。短文結(jié)構(gòu)，先總后分。原文中充斥了許多長(zhǎng)難詞，致使考生預(yù)讀時(shí)就一頭霧水。尤其是全文的首句：In the humanities, authors write to
inform you in many ways. 關(guān)鍵是要正確理解humanities(人文學(xué)科)一詞。
