　　《剑13》Test 1地图题

　　☟☟☟

　　审题&解析

　　剑13的第1套测验题的小作文（地图）具备以往考察地图题的特点，年份之间的主要变化为设施的变化，方向依旧为扩大、改建、重修、新增等。但与之不同的是，地图题的整体性较强且变化幅度较大，尤其体现在一些比较明显的建筑物的改建。

　　此地图题描述或表达的难点：

　　1 关于简单变化的位置和相对位置描述，比如car park的描述。在car park的位置描述上，相对比较简单，但是car park的相对位置关系想要描述得到位、准确且出彩是需要一定的语言功底。

　　2 建筑物的粘连关系较强，在表达上需要一定的方法，否则将影响整体性得分。比如围绕中间部分hospital road而展开的描述，涉及到原有建筑物的改建，以及与周围粘连建筑物的关系的表述。

　　小作文范文

　　第1段：总体描述给出的地图（以对比的方式强调整体不同点）

　　The two maps illustrate how road access to the hospital in 2010 was different from it was in 2007.

　　第二段：可以选择由东到西的描述方式或者由西向东，但将二者对比发现东边的变化与其他建筑物相比没有太强的连带关系，故推荐先选择东边进行描述。

　　One distinguishable feature is the addition of a car park. In 2010, the originally shared car park became exclusive for the hospital’s staff, and the public could use the new car park, which is located east of the hospital building and accessible from the Ring Road, to access the hospital via the east entrance, an entry point that is also new.

　　第三段：在由东往西的描述过程中，带入中间部分的描写，之后描述西边的变化。

　　In addition, Hospital Road had a makeover in 2010. Noticeably, the six bus stops on both sides of the road were removed. Secondly, there were two roundabouts at each end of the road and a bus station sitting on the road’s west side. In addition, as the roundabouts and the stations were connected, visitors could exit or enter the station from either roundabout.

　　第四段：固定操作部分：描述变化的幅度以及变化后的突出特点。

　　Overall, access to the city hospital changed enormously, and the hospital became more accessible in 2010.
