(4)“強(qiáng)”調(diào)句型：出現(xiàn)次數(shù)雖不及其他“強(qiáng)”類語匯頻繁，但是只要一出現(xiàn)，無一不是主題句。

2、“必殺技”之二：“新”字訣

　　帶有new、latest、contemporary等詞的句子往往會是關(guān)于新科技，新發(fā)明或者新事物的議論文的主題句所在，這些類型的文章在中口中的比重一直頗高。值得注意的是，這個特點(diǎn)在高級口譯的文章中更是體現(xiàn)得淋漓盡致。

例如：（2001年3月第一篇）
　　Some children do not like school. So what is new? But in Japan that familiar aversion has reached alarming proportions. About 50,000 unhappy youngsters a year (out of a total school-age population of 20 million) suffer what Japanese behavior experts call school phobia……

　　評析：new引出主題，即日本學(xué)生患恐學(xué)癥的人數(shù)已到警戒線。后文果然就圍繞這個新現(xiàn)象展開了論述，用舉例子、列數(shù)字、下定義等方法來支持主題。

3、“必殺技” 之三：“奇”字訣

　　unusual、extraordinary、exceptional、strange、unique、striking這類詞出現(xiàn)在新聞評論類文章是幾乎都和主題脫不了干系。新聞的使命是挖掘有新聞價值的事，稱得上“奇”的必然值得報道和探究。
例如：（2003年9月第四篇）

　　The strange fact is that the last hundred years have seen not only the dehumanizing of manual work with the introduction of mass-production method and scientific management and a consequent reduction in the satisfaction which an individual can derive from the performance of a skilled craft, but also universal acceptance of the idea that everyone ought to work，even though they may have no absolute economic necessity to do so……

　　評析：此句是中口歷年考題中較長的一句話，考生若逐字翻譯咀嚼，則生詞恐怕馬上會成為妨礙理解的攔路虎。可是，只要結(jié)合“強(qiáng)”字訣中的“強(qiáng)”調(diào)結(jié)構(gòu)，我們不難找到主題。首先strange預(yù)示著這個問題的本質(zhì)值得探討，而當(dāng)not only A，but also B結(jié)構(gòu)映入眼簾的時候則眼前頓時豁然開朗，主題已昭然若揭：人人應(yīng)該工作的觀念為什么會那么深入人心？這就是作者在后文要探究的“奇”事

4、“必殺技”之四：“真”字訣

(1)“真”發(fā)現(xiàn)：中口文章往往會談到科研成果，所以出現(xiàn)researches/ survey / interview等研究工作show / reveal / demonstrate或者 expert / specialists / professor / doctor這樣的專業(yè)人士find / say / argue / suggest等詞，往往預(yù)示著新發(fā)現(xiàn)或真道理，考生也應(yīng)該格外留意。

(2)“真”觀點(diǎn)：議論文有“先破后立”的寫法，作者會先批判錯誤觀點(diǎn)，繼而用indeed、in fact、actually等副詞或real 、true等形容詞來揭示主題。

例如：（1997年3月第六篇）
　　One of the most difficult questions to answer is how much a job is worth……
Another factor we must take into account is now socially useful a man’s work is……
Indeed, this whole question of just reward can be turned in its head. You can argue that a man who does a job which brings him personal satisfaction is already receiving part of his reward in the form of a so-called “psychic wage”……

　　評析：首段主題由most difficult question引出，可見其后的內(nèi)容都是圍繞工資展開。第二段的主題句也很明顯，顯然就是對影響工資的另一個因素的討論。而第三段indeed后面引出的才是作者真正的觀點(diǎn)，即人的工資的有一部分是“精神工資”，只有算上這部分工資，才能衡量一個人真正應(yīng)得的報酬。

5、“必殺技”之五：“并”字訣

　　從最近兩年的考題來看，中口文章似乎迷上“并”字訣，即作者在文章的前3段內(nèi)提出主題句，后面的段落少則3段、多則6段，段段并列，分別談?wù)撨@個主題的方方面面。

例七：（2000年9月第二篇）
　　There must be few questions on which responsible opinion is so utterly divided as on that of how much sleep we ought to have. There are some who think we can leave the body to regulate these matters for itself……
Other people feel sure that the present trend is toward too little sleep……
Then, to complete the picture, there are those who believe that most people are prepared to sleep too much……
　　
　　評析：首句提出人們對于睡眠時間長短問題眾說紛紜，后面的三段分別描述some、other people 和there are those who believe t
