高考英语书面表达中的高级表达一、使用主从复合句复合句可以把结构松散的句子连接起来，从而使表达显得高级。
高考写作中用到的复合句包括下列几种：(1)定语从句I’m writing to express/convey/extend my sincere/heartfelt gratitude/appreciation to you for your timely/generous help/assistance/what you have done for me, without which I wo uldn’t have made such rapid progress.We paid a visit to the city museum and some places of interest, which made me have a better understanding of(have a deeper insight into) the English society, culture and history.It also helps to listen to Chinese songs and watch Chinese movies, which can enable you to gain a better understanding of Chinese.To begin with, it is a good idea to make more Chinese friends in yourdaily life, with whom you can practice your spoken Chinese.(2)状语从句The doctor arrived there in time. The boy was saved. It was not too late.→ The boy was saved because the doctor arrived there before it was too late.Music is so appealing to me that I always listen to music whenever I’m free, which brings me into a different world.(3)名词性从句(包括主语从句、表语从句、宾语从句和同位语从句)We can, therefore, come to the conclusion that smoking is harmful to our health.I sincerely hope you can accept my apologies and understand my situation.I hold a firm belief that you will take my advice into consideration.Xi ao Ming was always late for school. His teacher didn’t know why.→ His teacher didn’t know why Xiao Ming was always late for school.如果考生驾驭句子的能力较强，则还可以恰当使用复杂的复合句（就是从句中还包含从句）。
例如：I want to know whether you want to meet Miss Tang when she comes back from Japan, where she works as an engineer. (本句包含3个从句)二、使用高级词汇1、巧用习语(idiom)英语中有大量习语，如果运用得当，则可大大增加文章的感染力。
考生要在平时的学习过程中不断积累。
例如：①What she explained doesn’t hold water. 她的解释站不住脚。
②Many families struggle to make ends meet.很多家庭只能勉强维持生计。
③I don’t know why she is always in low spirits.我不知道她为什么总是情绪低落。
④He turned a deaf ear to what I said. 他对我的话一点也听不进去。
⑤This sentence doesn’t make sense.这个句子讲不通。
2、用短语代替单词英语中同义词众多，在表达的时候，尽量用短语代替单个的词。
例如：① I have made up my mind to study English better this term. (同义词：decide)② I have no idea how to enlarge my vocabulary. (同义词：don’t know)③ A burning cigarette end resulted in/led to the big fire. (同义词：cause)④ Since my childhood I have been fond of music. (同义词：like)⑤ We will take the matter into account(consideration). (同义词：consider)3、善用小词在写作中巧用、活用某些小词，常常会起到画龙点睛、四两拨千斤的作用。
(1)动词：see, find , have, take, get, strike, run, cover, fail, go, make, manage, keep, stay, do(行，可以), help(有用), work(起作用), count, etc.例如：①2005 saw the successful launch of Shenzhou VI in China.②China has a history of more than 5,000 years.③Saddam Husain got hanged on the 30th of December, 2006.④How does Shenzhen strike you?⑤I have to earn more than 6,000 yuan if I want to cover my expenses in Shenzhen.⑥When I received the news that I got the first place, words failed me.⑦This is how the story goes.⑧After a few years’ training, she made an excellent teacher.⑨Mary’s mother asked her to seize time to go over her lessons for the final exam, but it didn’t help.⑩It is the ability to do the job well that counts.(2)名词、形容词、副词、介词等：a must, a hit, a success, a better/best choice/seller, arrival, stay, top, new, pretty(相当地), terribly, badly, in(时尚的), out(过时的)，beyond, under, on display/on second thought(s), at the news of/at the sight of, etc.例如：①English is a must for us.②Of all the 2006 films Zhang Yimou’s Curse of the Golden Flower(满城尽带黄金甲) was the bestseller.③I made lots of friends during my stay in France.④Wendy Wang must be one of the top students in our school.⑤This kind of work is quite new t o me.⑥I am going to find a nice apartment pretty soon.⑦Doctors were badly needed in that area after the flood.⑧Short skirts are in again.⑨His lecture is beyond my understanding.⑩Shenzhen Metro Line 3 is still under construction.On my arrival I found the front door was open.At the news of his death I was shocked.4、使用名词表达动词意义① His failure in the exam again made his mother very worried.② On arrival home I found the front door open.③ Living near the airport may lead to people’s loss of hearing.④ No one can enter the office without permission.⑤ The railway line is still under construction.5、使用形容词（短语）做状语或者使用非谓语动词结构等① They returned home, safe and sound.②Full of fear, I walked in the darkness.③ While walking along the streets I met Jane.④ We started out very early in order to catch the first early bus.⑤ I arrived home, really exhausted.6、使用表示过渡的连接词高考“基础写作”的评分标准中特别强调句子间的连贯性。
之所以把衔接和连贯作为重要标准来要求，是因为衔接和连贯是构成语篇的最基本条件。
