2015年6月英语四级真题第2套 Part II Section B (1)

女士在 第7段 提出了一个 rhetorical question："Can one person really make a difference? If only a few people recycle, then what's the point?" 这个 questioning 并非真的在寻求 answer，而是在表达一种 skepticism 或者 doubt。这种修辞手法让 dialogue 更加 engaging，因为它提出了很多人心中的 common concern，从而引出男士更有 persuasive power 的回应，强化了 individual responsibility 这个 key message。

信号词 Can...really...? what's the point? Why bother? Does it even matter? Is it worth it? What difference does it make? Why should we care?

仿写： 写作 dialogue 时，可以让其中一方提出类似的 doubt 或 concern，用 "Can...really...?" 或 "If...then what's the point?" 这样的 pattern。关键是让 question 听起来像真实的 hesitation，然后另一方用 strong statement 来 counter。仿写模版："Can [单个行为] really make a difference? If only [少数人行动], then what's the point?" 然后用 "If not [you/we], then who?" 这样有力的 counter-question 来回应。

男士在 第8段 用了一个 powerful rhetorical question："If not you, then who?" 这是一个 classic motivational device，通过 question form 来直接 challenge 听者，促使其 take personal responsibility。这个 technique 不需要 answer，因为 answer 是 self-evident 的——责任就在每个人身上。这种修辞极大地 strengthen 了文章关于 individual action 重要性的 central theme。

信号词 If not...then who? If not now, then when? Who else but you? Who will do it? Who is responsible?

仿写： 这种 pattern 在 persuasive dialogue 中非常 effective。写作时可以用 "If not [target audience], then who?" 的 structure，配合 "If not [time], then when?" 这样的 parallel questions 来 build momentum。仿写模版：在回应 skepticism 时，直接用 "If not you, then who? If not now, then when?" 这样的 consecutive rhetorical questions 来 create a sense of urgency。

在 第2段 中，"Recycling" 这个 key word 被 repeatedly used 在 consecutive sentences 的 sentence-initial position："Recycling is...", "Recycling also...", "Recycling lowers..."。这种 anaphora (首语重复) 的 technique 通过 rhythmic repetition 来 emphasize recycling 的 multiple benefits，让 listener 对这个 central concept 形成 strong impression。每次 repetition 都引入一个 new benefit，使得 information 既 organized 又 memorable。

信号词 Recycling This It They We

仿写： 写作时可以 identify 一个 core concept，然后用它来 start multiple sentences in succession，每句 elaborate on a different aspect。Guideline 是：pick your keyword → use it to begin 3-4 consecutive sentences → follow each with a distinct benefit or feature。仿写模版："[核心词] is [benefit 1]. [核心词] also [benefit 2]. [核心词] can [benefit 3]." 注意每句的 verb 要有 variation (is, also, can, lowers 等)。

在 第8段，"waste" 这个 concept 被 strategically repeated："waste problem"、"waste that go into landfills"、以及 implied waste 在 "old pair of slippers, a broken TV set or a used magazine"。这种 thematic repetition 通过不断 circle back 到 waste 这个 central issue，让 listener 意识到 problem 的 pervasiveness 和 personal connection。从 abstract "waste problem" 到 concrete "your old slippers"，repetition 配合 specification 来 drive home the message。

信号词 waste garbage trash disposal landfill

仿写： 这种 approach 适合用来 connect abstract problem 和 personal responsibility。Strategy 是：先 mention problem in general terms → repeat in different contexts → end with concrete personal examples。仿写模版："We all contribute to [problem]. The [problem] we see everywhere started as [具体例子 1], [具体例子 2], or [具体例子 3] from somebody's [地点], maybe yours."

在 第8段 的结尾，男士说 "maybe yours" 时省略了完整的 sentence structure。Complete form 应该是 "maybe it came from your house" 或 "maybe yours is one of those houses"。这种 ellipsis 让 statement 变得 concise 而 impactful，直接将 responsibility 指向 listener，比 full sentence 更有 punch。省略制造了 abruptness，让 final words "maybe yours" 像 accusation 一样 linger，强化了 personal accountability 的 message。

信号词 maybe yours perhaps probably possibly why not?

仿写： 使用 ellipsis 的 key 是 ensure context 足够 clear，让 omitted parts 显而易见。Technique 是在 list 或 concluding remark 中，drop obvious elements 只保留 punch word。仿写模版：在给出 several examples 后，用 "maybe yours" 或 "perhaps [关键词]" 来 end，省略主语和动词。比如："All these problems started somewhere—someone's choice, someone's action, maybe yours."
