Question

【題目】Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s)of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.

As we all know that the biggest safety threat which faces airlines today may not be a terrorist attack with a gun, but the man with the portable computer in business class during the flight. In the last 15 years, pilots have reported well over 100 incidents that could have been caused by electromagnetic (電磁)interference. The source of this interference remains unconfirmed, but increasingly, some experts are pointing the blame at portable device such as portable computers, radio and cassette players as well as mobile phones.

RICA, an organization which advises the aviation(航空)industry, has recommended that all airlines should ban such devices from being used during"critical "stages of flights, particularly take-off and landing. Some experts have gone even further, calling for a total ban during all fights. Currently, rules on using these devices are left up to individual airlines. And although many of the airlines prohibit passengers from using such equipment especially during take-off and landing, most are reluctant to enforce a total ban, given that many passengers want to work during flights.

The difficulty is predicting how electromagnetic fields might affect an aircraft’s computers. Some experts know that portable devices send radiation which affects those wavelengths that aircraft use for navigation and communication. But because they have not been able to reproduce these effects in a lab, they really have no idea whether the interference might be dangerous or not.

The fact that aircraft may be vulnerable(易受損的) to interference raises the risk that terrorists may use radio systems in order to damage navigation equipment. As worrying, though, is the passenger who can’t hear the instructions clearly to turn off his radio because the music is too loud. So it still takes time to impose a ban on the use of portable devices during flights. (total words 311)

Answer 1

【答案】Safety threat to airline may be the portable devices. RICA recommended a ban during important stages of flights. Some experts even require it during all fights. Many airlines prohibit it during take-off and landing, but not enforce a total ban. Besides, experts aren’t sure whether the interference might be dangerous . So it takes time to handle .

【解析】

本文為概要寫作。本文首先要用不超過60個(gè)詞來概括大意和要點(diǎn)，但不能用文章中的原句。

概要寫作一般分為以下幾步：

首先，弄清題目要求。概要應(yīng)包括原文中的主要事實(shí)，略去不必要的細(xì)節(jié)；

第二，要細(xì)讀原文，找出文章主旨和結(jié)構(gòu)，析原文的內(nèi)容和結(jié)構(gòu)，將內(nèi)容分項(xiàng)扼要表述并注意在結(jié)構(gòu)上的順序。用一些具有概括功能的詞和句式，如各種復(fù)合句或非調(diào)語等對文章的具體信息進(jìn)行概括、表述出來；

第三，列出原文要點(diǎn)。本文的要點(diǎn)需要包括（1）Safety threat to airline may be the portable devices.（航空公司的安全威脅可能是便攜式設(shè)備）

（2）Many airlines prohibit it during take-off and landing（許多航空公司在飛機(jī)起飛和降落時(shí)都禁止這種做法）

（3）experts aren’t sure whether the interference might be dangerous（專家們也不確定這種干擾是否危險(xiǎn)）

注意：

寫概要時(shí)，要把文章的具體信息用一些具有概括功能的詞和句表述出來，略去不必要的細(xì)節(jié)。不要抄襲原句，通過對文章中的單詞、詞組和句子進(jìn)行合理轉(zhuǎn)換，對文章的具體信息進(jìn)行概括，再用合適的語言表述出來。切忌只簡單地寫出一些互不相干的句子，但也不要每兩句之間都加關(guān)聯(lián)詞語，以免顯得生硬。寫作時(shí)注意抓住文章的主旨大意，避免邏輯混亂。概要應(yīng)與原文一致，字?jǐn)?shù)應(yīng)在要求之內(nèi)。
