2017年6月英语六级真题第2套 Part II Section A (2)

在 第7段 中，女主持人使用了 rhetorical question："Why hasn't it changed?"，这个 question 并不是真正寻求 answer，而是通过 questioning 的方式来 emphasize 一个令人困惑的 reality：尽管这个 issue 已经被 discussed 这么多年，但 situation 依然没有 improvement。这种 rhetorical device 能够 draw attention to 问题的 urgency 和 absurdity，同时为接下来 guest 的 explanation 铺设了 logical transition，使得对话更具 critical depth。

信号词 Why How come Isn't it Don't you think Wouldn't you say What's the point of How can

仿写： 当你想要 highlight 某个 paradox 或 persistent problem 时，可以采用 rhetorical question。比如在讨论 environmental issues 时，可以说："We've known about climate change for decades. Why are we still doing so little?" 这种 structure 先 present a fact，然后用 why/how question 来 challenge the status quo。Template："[Statement of known fact/situation]. Why/How [negative situation continues]?"

在 第4段 中，男嘉宾连续使用了 repetitive structure："they make up... they make up..."，这种 repetition 通过 parallel construction 来 emphasize 一个 striking contrast：black male athletes 在 undergraduate enrollment 中占比不到 3%，但在 revenue-generating sports 中却占 50-60%。这个 repetitive pattern 不仅 reinforce 了 statistical disparity，更通过 rhythmic emphasis 让 listeners 清晰感受到这种 imbalance 的 severity。Repetition 在此处 serve as a rhetorical tool 来 highlight systemic inequality。

信号词 make up they are this is we see you find there is it shows

仿写： 当你要 compare 或 contrast two situations 时，可以使用 parallel repetitive structure。比如："In this company, women make up 50% of entry-level positions, yet they make up only 15% of leadership roles." 这种 pattern 是："Subject + make up + percentage + context, yet + subject + make up + percentage + contrasting context." 关键是保持 grammatical structure identical，只改变 key data，以 maximize the contrast effect。

在 第5段 中，女主持人使用了 "I think" 这个 hedging phrase，紧接着又说 "something like just barely more than half"。这些 softening expressions 并不是表示 uncertainty，而是一种 conversational politeness strategy。在 broadcast interview 中，使用 such expressions 可以 make the tone less confrontational，同时 invite the guest to confirm or elaborate。这种 rhetorical choice 体现了 professional interviewing technique，让 discussion 保持 collaborative 而非 adversarial 的 atmosphere。

信号词 I think I believe it seems perhaps probably kind of sort of something like roughly approximately

仿写： 在提出 sensitive statistics 或 controversial points 时，可以用 hedging language 来 soften the delivery。比如："I believe the data suggests that..." 或 "It appears that roughly half of..." Template 是："Hedging phrase + statistical/factual content"。但要注意，excessive hedging 会 weaken your authority，所以要 balance politeness with conviction。在 interview setting，hedges 是 good practice；在 argumentative writing，要 minimize them。

在 第4段 中，男嘉宾使用了 repeated phrase "there to be"："they are really there to be part of the revenue-generating working class... and not necessarily there to be part of the educating class"。这个 anaphora (首语重复) creates powerful parallel structure，强调了 black male athletes 的 dual identity paradox。通过 repeating "there to be part of"，speaker 把两种 incompatible roles 并置，让 contrast 变得 unmistakable。这种 repetition 不仅 provide rhythmic emphasis，更 underscore the fundamental contradiction in these athletes' college experience。

信号词 there to be they are we see this is what we find the point is the fact is

仿写： 当你要 present contrasting ideas 或 build up to a climax 时，使用 anaphora。Structure: "They are [X]. They are [Y]. They are [Z]." 或者像本文："Subject + be + there to be + role A... and not + there to be + role B." 关键是 maintain exact repetition at the beginning while varying the content that follows，以 create both unity and contrast。这在 persuasive writing 和 speech 中尤其 effective。

在 第8段 中，男嘉宾使用了 repetitive structure centered on "incentive"："there is really no economic pressure to change this. All of the incentive is really on winning... Coaches do not necessarily have the incentive to graduate players." 通过 three times mentioning "incentive" (或其 absence)，speaker 把 discussion 的 focus 牢牢锁定在 economic motivation 这个 root cause 上。这种 lexical repetition creates thematic coherence，让 audience 清楚地 understand that the problem is fundamentally about misaligned incentives。

信号词 incentive pressure motivation reason cause factor force driver

仿写： 当 explaining complex problems 时，identify 一个 key concept word 并 repeat it across multiple sentences 来 create thematic thread。Pattern: "There is no [key word]. All the [key word] is on [X]. [Subject] does not have the [key word] to [Y]." 这种 repetition 应该 natural 且 spaced out，不是 consecutive identical sentences。使用时要 vary the grammatical context (noun phrase, verb phrase, prepositional phrase) 来 avoid monotony while maintaining focus。
