從近幾年的廣東高考英語題來看，基礎(chǔ)寫作中經(jīng)常涉及到不同形式的數(shù)據(jù)，如2007年，2008年，2009年，2010年和2011年均有不同形式的數(shù)據(jù)表達(dá)。因此熟悉和掌握各種數(shù)據(jù)的表達(dá)方法對高考英語基礎(chǔ)寫作的備考極為重要。

現(xiàn)將歷年基礎(chǔ)寫作所給參考范文中含有數(shù)據(jù)的句子摘抄如下。

對這些含有數(shù)據(jù)的句子進(jìn)行分析，我們可以得知，基礎(chǔ)寫作主要是對年份、年齡、數(shù)量、排名、比例等數(shù)據(jù)進(jìn)行考查。高考在即，如何讓考生高效地掌握數(shù)據(jù)表達(dá)法，讓考生寫出地道的英文句子表達(dá)呢？筆者歸納了一些實用的通關(guān)表達(dá)法。

一、時間的表達(dá)

1. 表世紀(jì)：during the 18th century，in the late 19th century

2. 表年份：in 2013，in the year 2013，in early/late 2013，in the 1980s

3. 表日期：on June 1， 2013

4. 表鐘點：at 5 oclock sharp，around 6 p.m.，at 5∶30

二、年齡的表達(dá)

a woman aged 30， at the age of 13，an 8-year-old girl，in ones twenties

三、比例的表達(dá)

主要涉及到百分比的表達(dá)，“百分之幾”可用以下表達(dá)：

60% /sixty percent/60 percent of the ...

half of the ... ；one fourth （a quarter of ...）； three quarters of；two thirds；seven eighths； three out of five， three in five

四、排名的表達(dá)

rank+ （the+）序數(shù)詞，be + the+序數(shù)詞， be + in the+序數(shù)詞+place等；也可以用“is the+形容詞最高級+范圍”來表達(dá)。

五、總計的表達(dá)

... amount to ... / add up to / come to / sum up to

六、增減的表達(dá)

1. 數(shù)量增加

... increase / rise / grow / climb from ... to ...

The number sharply/rapidly/slowly/steadily went up/rose/increased/grew to...

2. 數(shù)量減少

... decrease / fall / drop from ... to ...

The number sharply/rapidly/slowly/steadily dropped/reduced/decreased to ...

七、倍數(shù)的表達(dá)

（be）+ 基數(shù)詞 + times as + 形容詞 + as ...

此外，在數(shù)據(jù)對比時，還常用到while，but，on the contrary，however，in contrast to等關(guān)聯(lián)詞語。

熟記以上語塊的最好方法就是背誦相關(guān)的通關(guān)句型。俗話說：“詞不離句，句不離篇”。除了要求學(xué)生背誦高考范文中出現(xiàn)的句子，筆者也適當(dāng)增加了一些經(jīng)典的例句。

1. Nearly 70% of us disagree because they think it makes them fall into the habit of dependence，while about 30% of my classmates think it necessary for our parents to accompany us.

2. Guangzhou，a city with a population of about thirteen million，has a history of more than 2，200 years.

3. Covering a total area of 7，434 square kilometers， this city has a population of about ten million.

4. Our outdoor activity will last 3 hours， and well be back at about 11：00.

5. Toyota sold about 8.42 million cars last year， ranking the first in the world.
