Taking office on January 1st 2014, Mr de Blasio vowed to pursue a progressive agenda of curbing inequality and promoting justice. His supporters note that he won state funding for universal nursery school, and enrolled 53,000 children in 2014, up from 20,000 the previous year. He signed a law obliging companies with five or more staff to offer them paid sick leave. He introduced an ID card for the city’s many illegal immigrants. He has a plan to “build or preserve” 200,000 affordable houses over ten years. To receive city subsidies, developers will have to set aside part of any new project for cheap apartments.
这个段落选自2015年《经济学人》一月份的文章《the blue thread frays》(磨损的蓝线),在这个段落中,考生需要着重注意以下几点:
(1) Taking office on January 1st 2014, Mr de Blasio vowed to pursue a progressive agenda of curbing inequality and promoting justice.
(2) His supporters note that he won state funding for universal nursery school, and enrolled 53,000 children in 2014, up from 20,000 the previous year.
(3) He signed a law obliging companies with five or more staff to offer them paid sick leave. He introduced an ID card for the city’s many illegal immigrants. He has a plan to “build or preserve” 200,000 affordable houses over ten years.
(4) To receive city subsidies, developers will have to set aside part of any new project for cheap apartments.
在上面四个小句中,第一个需要注意的知识点为Taking (动词的现在分词形式)与 Mr de Blasio之间的关系,以及在这个句子中非常明显的and并列;非谓语动词中,现在分词表主动,由后面的主语发出的动作:2014年1月1日就职时,布拉德西奥先生曾许诺会采用一系列激进的改革措施来遏制不公和宣扬正义;
第二个句子中包含了一个宾语从句(note that...),且在宾语从句中又并列着一个小句(won...,and enrolled...),他的支持者提到,他为普及幼儿园争取到了州政府资金,并在2014年招收了53000个孩子,而前一年仅有20000个;
第三个句子中注意需要注意的是词汇:
paid sick leave 薪资照付的病假
illegal immigrants 非法移民
affordable houses 经济适用房
cheap apartments 廉价公寓
补充例句:It urged local governments to make more efforts on the renovation of "shanty towns" and increase low-rent houses and affordable houses to low-income families.
督促当地政府进竭尽努力改造棚户区,并为低收入家庭增加廉租房和经济适用房。
He signed a law obliging companies with five or more staff to offer them paid sick leave.(这个句子中的obliging比较有意思,考生可以思考一下这个obliging与law之间的关系)
他签署了一项要求超过5个员工的公司(含5个)提供带薪病假的法律,他为该市的许多非法移民了办理了身份证,他还计划在10年间“建造或保留”200000栋经济适用房;
在第四个句子中,不定式表目的(To receive city subsidies),各位考生也可以应用在写作当中;为了获得市政补贴,开发商必须将新开发项目的部分用于经济适用房;
段落大意:2014年1月1日就职时,布拉德西奥先生曾许诺会采用一系列激进的改革措施来遏制不公和宣扬正义;他的支持者提到,他为普及幼儿园争取到了州政府资金,并在2014年招收了53000个孩子,而前一年仅有20000个。他签署了一项要求超过5个员工的公司(含5个)提供带薪病假的法律,他为该市的许多非法移民了办理了身份证,他还计划在10年间“建造或保留”200000栋经济适用房;为了获得市政补贴,开发商必须将新开发项目的部分用于经济适用房;
