高分范文及解析

Introduction

<独立主格结构写背景引入> With traffic congestion and road accidents intensifying, some propose that the most effective approach is to motivate people to dwell in cities rather than outskirts. Personally, I regard this proposal as indefensible and even preposterous.

解析

the best way的题型，绝 对词，站对立面好写，反驳best. 再仔细审题：解决交通问题的最好办法是让人们都住进城区，这个观点与我们现实中主张的城市扩张完全相反，更加确认站其对立面更好写。

 intensify vt./vi. (使)加剧，(使)增强

 outskirt n. 常作outskirts，郊区

 indefensible adj. 站不住脚的

 preposterous adj. 荒谬的

Body 1

It is essential to try to understand why some people might advocate such a proposal. Once people live in cities with infrastructure adjacent to the residential area, their commuting distance will therefore be reduced to a large extent. In this case, commuters are more likely to opt for other travelling modes, such as walking, cycling, and taking public transport, instead of driving their private cars. Naturally, the number of vehicles on road will diminish, thus alleviating traffic and transportation problem to some degree. However, the aforementioned arguments in effect can hold no water. Instead, such action fuels traffic congestion, as cities will become intensely crowded and populated. City-dwellers flood into certain places during similar periods, which thus will incur slower traffic flows.

解析

让步：鼓励人们都住进城市，那么某种程度上人们的通勤距离就短了，自然而然会选择除私家车以外的同行方式，行驶的车辆少了，看上去交通问题也就缓解了。反驳：集中住城区，人口密度增大，反而更拥挤。(试想一下北京的天通苑和南京江北的柳州东路，即使选择坐地铁，也堵到怀疑人生。)

 adjacent to adj. 邻近

 commuter n. 通勤者

 opt vi. 选择(opt for sth.; opt to do sth.)

 alleviate vt. 缓解

fuel vt. 加剧

 be intensely crowded and populated 人口密集的

 flood vi. 大量地去

 incur vt. 导致(常作贬义)

Body 2

As a matter of fact, people who support this proposal mistakenly view longer travelling distance as the predominantcontributor to this problem. In reality, heavy traffic hinges on complex reasons, with high population density standing out. To illustrate, if residential areas are relocated and scattered, with each equipped with basic amenities, including hospitals, schools, shopping malls, etc., fewer residents will travel within certain areas. This thus can effectively address the problems of roads teeming with vehicles and public transport packed with commuters. / Besides, other remedies can also be put on agenda, including optimising road design, bettering public transit, and meanwhile encouraging working professionals to travel during off-peak hours.

解析

【解析】立论：更好的解决办法应该是反思路，分散人口，降低密度，从而疏散交通。顺带提一下其他老生常谈的方法：优化道路设计，完善公共交通，鼓励错峰出行。

 predominant adj. 占主要位置的

 contributor n. 导致某事的人/事

 population density 人口密度

 scatter vt. 分散

 amenity n. 便利设施(常作复数amenities)

 teem with sb./sth. v. 充满…

 remedy n. 消除办法，纠正办法

 put sth. on agenda 把…提上日程

 optimise vt. 优化

04

In conclusion, migration to cities is far from perfection. A constructive approach to resolving the traffic issue will have to involve relocating certain public institutions and facilities, bettering the road system, and upgrading the public transport network.
