內(nèi)容導(dǎo)讀：

　　由于國內(nèi)英語教學(xué)中寫作訓(xùn)練薄弱，大批學(xué)生只會單詞，不懂語境和搭配，出現(xiàn)了各種可笑的中文思維現(xiàn)象。我們寫作教學(xué)中專門強調(diào)語感的培養(yǎng)，除單詞記憶和句型操練之外，在此專門選編了300個閃光的英文句子，涉及面很廣，配有譯文并用黑體標(biāo)出了句子銜接的主干框架。讀者可以在閱讀中仔細(xì)領(lǐng)會每句話表達的妙處，遣詞造句的獨特設(shè)計。也可以作為寫作的范本加以背誦，提高自己的語感和閃光點意識。

Those who object to the rising migrant population argue that increasing numbers lead to rising crime rates and harm social stability .

　　目前，針對流動工人的問題展開了普遍的爭論。反對流動工人增加的人認(rèn)為這會導(dǎo)致犯罪率升高，從而危害社會穩(wěn)定。他們主張應(yīng)該嚴(yán)格限制進入中國城市的流動工人。但是，另一方面，支持廉價勞動力流入的人主張，為了支持大規(guī)模的城市基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施建設(shè)規(guī)劃，流動人口是必需的。

　　4. It is widely acknowledged that extensive deforestation contributed to heavy summer flooding . Experts argue that China must introduce a massive afforestation program . But I doubt whether afforestation alone will solve the problem .
