托福名师在此为各位考生详细解析2015年9月下旬热点机经:
Do you agree or disagree with the following statement? Only movies that can teach us something about real life are worth watching.
你是否同意以下观点?只有能够从某些方面教导我们真实生活的电影才值得一看。
下面托福名师将从破题关键、论点分析和语料整理三个角度具体分析。祝各位考生一站成功、赢得考官青睐、走上人生巅峰。
一、破题关键
托福名师私下也常跟各位考生聊起什么电影值得一看?大多数考生都能很轻松地给出一番自己的见解,因此证明此类话题本身并没有什么难度。但此题加入了两个限定,一是“只有”,二是“教导我们真实生活”,读起来就变得佶屈聱牙,成了公认的难题。
此题破题关键就在于题干中出现的“只有(only)”。看到类似只有、仅仅等带有绝对语气的表述出现,从实战出发,我们毫无疑问选择批驳。
二、论点分析
关于批驳论证,文韬老师一向建议考生采取让步结构,再从比较论证、发觉自身两个层次建立分论点。
反对:并不是只有能够从某些方面教导我们真实生活的电影才值得一看。
确立主论点时,各位考生务必针对“只有”一词进行批驳。如果以“很多电影都有价值”为主论点,容易在展开时出现跑题、偏题等现象。
【理由】:
诚然能够从某些方面教导我们真实生活的电影还是值得一看的。
但是通过比较可以证明其它类型的电影也值得一看,比如科幻片激发想象力、卡通片让观众轻松愉快,他们都不展现真实生活,但也值得一看。
此外,教导我们真实生活的电影并不一定适合所有人,比如电影中有色情、暴力、凶杀等,小孩子就不一定能正确认知,因此所谓值得一看也并非针对所有人,更不必说只有真实的才值得一看。
三、语料整理
Delight and relaxation are indispensable elements to sound health. Comedies and cartoons are worth watching, for we may relax for a while by only watching and giggling. To tell the truth, many people with demanding jobs need those movies that are not too serious and didactic to release their pressure caused by tight daily work.
必不可缺的要素:indispensable elements
轻松一下:relax for a while
咯咯傻笑:giggle
要求严苛的:demanding
缓解压力:reduce pressure, release stress
减轻痛苦:alleviate pain, relieve pain
Watching science fiction movies also stirs people’s imagination, stimulates creativity, and gives them insights into various realms. So not only do viewers simply have different ways to develop their ability to think, but they also enjoy the visual delight provided by three-dimension effect.
激发想象力:stirs imagination
启迪创造力:stimulate creativity
思维能力:ability to think
立体效果:three-dimension effect
Many teenagers may have a Kongfu dream and consider that those Kongfu stars in action movies are heroes. Unfortunately, some children may indulge in such visual delight provided by action movies and believe that only their fist can help the weak in need. As a result, they are more likely to resort to violence, when they suffer difficulties in real life. Those worth watching movies actually pose a potential threat to our society and poison the young generation.

功夫明星:Kongfu star
动作电影:action movie
弱势群体:the weak group
