4.5.2 表格

4.5.2.1 解题关键 1表格与饼图一样，都是静态图。切入点在描述分配；

2表格题考查列举数字的能力和方法。通过举一些有代表性的数据来说明问题； 3横向比较。介绍横向各个数据的区别、变化和趋势； 4纵向比较。介绍纵向各个数据的区别、变化和趋势；

5不需要将每一个数据分别说明，突出强调数据最大值和最小值；

6对比时要总结出数据对比最悬殊的和最小的。

4.5.2.2表格举例

Topic 4-4：The table below shows carbon dioxide emissions from transport in three European countries in 1994 and 2004．Summarise the information by selecting and reporting the main features and make comparisons where relevant.

范文

The given table provides an overview of carbon dioxide emissions from four main transport sources (namely，road transport，railways，civil aviation and shipping) in the United Kingdom，France and Germany in 1994 and 2004．

Germany，although having higher emissions than either the United Kingdom or France did，saw the amount decrease slightly from 47.2 to 46.7 million tonnes．By comparison，France recorded an increase of four million tonnes from 34.7 million in 1994，while the United Kingdom had a smaller growth，2.5 million tonnes over the same period．（纵向比较三个国家1994到2004年间二氧化碳释放量的整体趋势变化。）

In all the three countries, road transport was responsible for the majority of

emissions．（横向对四个二氧化碳释放源进行比较，点明最大释放源）In the United

Kingdom，road transport produced emissions up to 32.6 million tonnes in 2004，2 million more than ten years earlier，while other three transport sources did not show any

remarkable growth．（接着对三个国家的释放源进行描述说明，说明从1994年到2004年间的变化）A similar pattern was seen in France，where road transport added 3.6 million

tonnes to the total emissions within ten years．Germany，by contrast，was the only country of the three to experience a drop in road transport emissions．（比较德国和英国法国的区别）Other three transport sources had a lower emission volume as well，except civil aviation，with the amount rising to 1.2 million．（对其它二氧化碳释放源进行描述，比较10年间的变化）

As shown in the table，both UK and France failed to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from transport sources during the period 1994 to 2004，in contrast to the decrease in Germany．Road transport continued to account for the biggest source of emissions．(237 words)

4.5.3 曲线图 4.5.3.1 解题关键 ",

1曲线图和柱状图都是动态图，解题的切入点在于描述趋势。

2在第二段的开头部分对整个曲线进行一个阶段式的总分类，使写作层次清晰，同时也方便考官阅卷。接下来再分类描述每个阶段的specific trend，同时导入数据作为分类的依据。 3趋势说明。即，对曲线的连续变化进行说明，如上升、下降、波动、持平。以时间为比较基础的应抓住“变化”：上升、下降、或是波动。题中对两个或两个以上的变量进行描述时应在此基础上进行比较，如变量多于两个应进行分类或有侧重的比较。

4极点说明。即对图表中最高的、最低的点单独进行说明。不以时间为比较基础的应注意对极点的描述。

5交点说明。即对图表当中多根曲线的交点进行对比说明。

6不要不做任何说明就机械地导入数据，这不符合雅思的考试目的。
