书面表达在高考中的重要性是毋庸置疑的,这不但是因为它所占分值比重大,而且更是因为它是对考生使用英语进行读、写乃至译等诸方面的综合检测。就体裁而言,书面表达作文一般呈记叙文和议论文体,而又以议论文居多,如2008年全国卷、上海卷、陕西卷、广东卷和山东卷等。 The importance of written expression in the college entrance examination is undoubted, not only because it is more important than the score, but also because it is a comprehensive test of candidates’ use of English for reading, writing and even translation. In terms of genre, written expressions are generally written in narrative and dissertation, and they are mostly based on argumentative papers, such as the national volume in 2008, Shanghai volume, Shaanxi volume, Guangdong volume, and Shandong volume.
