新航道为你提供一些有关托福考试的资料，关于托福考试，导师发现很多在中国人眼中写作水平良好、用词也相对比较准确的同学，在国际性托福

考试写作部分中成绩却并不如人意。究其原因，一是表达不符合英语思维;二是对西方文化知之甚少，导致无话可说。新托福写作的评分标准和雅思写作

的评分标准基本相似，在语言上的考察点也很高，所以新托福考试一定要高度重视词汇修辞的重要性，包括遣词和造句。
　　那么，在托福写作中取得高分的奥妙是什么呢?大家可以想想看，下面我们就对这些分别加以说明。
　　巧用修辞
　　1. 排比对称结构
　　Despite all the evidence, experts continue to debate weather global warming exists, how extensive the problem is, what the likely effects

will be and whether any remedy is possible.
　　Despite all the evidence, experts continue to debate the existence of global warming, the extent of the problem, its likely effects and any

possible remedy.
　　2. 比喻
　　(1)明喻：比喻词出现：as, like, as if…
　　In many ways, no doubt, our world grows more and more complex, sputniks cannot be simple; yet how many of our complexities remain

futile, how many of our artificialities false. Simplicity too can be subtle-as the straight lines of a Greek temple, like the Parthenon at Athens, are

delicately curved in order to look straighter still.
　　(2)暗喻：比喻词不出现。
　　America has given the Negro people a bad check, which has come back marked insufficient funds.
　　3. 对照：加深印象
　　Extremism in defense of liberty is no vice; moderation is the pursuit of justice is no virtue.
　　4. 类比
　　The Negro has a callus growing on his soul and it is getting harder and harder to hurt him here. That is a simple law of nature. Like a callus

on the foot in a shoe that is too tight. The foot is nature’s and that shoe was put on by man. The tight shoe will pinchyour foot and make you

holler and scream. But sooner or later, if you do not take the shoe off, a callus will form on the foot and begin to wear out the shoe.
　　It is the same with the Negro in America. That shoe-the white man’s system—haspinched and rubbed and squeezed his soul until it has

almost destroyed him. But it did not. And how a callus has formed on his soul, and unless that system is adjusted to fit him, too, that callus is

going to wear our that system.
　　5. 拟人
　　Dawn was beginning to prowl about the sky and put out the starts.
　　6. 夸张
　　For she was beautiful—her beauty made the bright world dim, and everything beside seemed like the fleeting image of a shade.
