解析
本题考查写作中实现句子多样性的相关知识。解题思路是分析每个选项对实现句子多样性的作用,判断哪个选项不属于好的做法。
- 选项A:
- 改变句子的长度是实现句子多样性的有效方法。长短句交替使用可以使文章节奏更有变化,避免单调。例如,在描述一场比赛时,既可以用短句“Start! Run! Sprint!”来营造紧张激烈的氛围,也可以用长句“With a thunderous roar, the athletes burst out of the starting blocks, their muscles straining as they desperately tried to gain an early lead.”来详细描述比赛开始的场景。所以选项A是实现句子多样性的好做法。
- 选项B:
- 使用主动语态的动词能够让句子更加生动有力,增强表达的直接性和感染力。主动语态的句子通常结构更简洁,重点更突出。比如,“The dog chased the cat”比“The cat was chased by the dog”更能清晰地表达动作的执行者和承受者,使句子更有活力,有助于实现句子多样性。所以选项B是实现句子多样性的好做法。
- 选项C:
- 过度使用被动语态会使文章显得生硬、单调,缺乏活力。被动语态往往强调动作的承受者,而弱化了动作的执行者,容易让句子结构变得冗长和复杂。例如,“The window was broken by the ball”就不如“The ball broke the window”简洁明了。因此,过度使用被动语态不利于实现句子多样性,是不好的写作实践。所以选项C符合题意。
- 选项D:
- 将关键词放在句子的开头或结尾可以起到强调的作用,吸引读者的注意力,同时也能使句子的结构更加多样化。比如,“Surprisingly, he passed the exam”和“He passed the exam, surprisingly”,通过改变关键词“surprisingly”的位置,使句子有了不同的表达效果。所以选项D是实现句子多样性的好做法。
