平时注意积累论据，注意培养批判性思维。

批判性思维论点论据积累：

生活方式类

e.g. 1.

在当代社会，打造一个引人入胜的外表已经变得比外表下的内容更加重要了。

the reality or truth behind that image.

I agree that image has become a more central concern, at least where short-term business or

political success is at stake. Nevertheless, I think that in the longer term image ultimately

yields to substance and fact.

1. The important role of image is particularly evident in the business world.

2. The growing significance of image is also evident in the political realm, particularly when

it comes to presidential politics.

3. In the long terms, however, the significance of image wanes considerably.

e.g. 2

现代生活越来越快的节奏弊多利少。

Agree

1. The rapid pace of life has resulted in health problems in unprecedented large numbers.

2. Although people today have more leisure time, they are not in a better position than their

ancestors to enjoy themselves.

3.

More

unfortunately, people

seem

to

have become

addicted

to

the

rapid pace

life.

e.g. 3

现代社会的很多问题是法律和立 法系统无法解决的，因为道德行为是无法用法律约束

的。

behavior cannot be legislated.

I

agree

with

this

assertion

insofar

as

it

relates

to

constraints

on

certain

personal

freedoms.

However, when it comes to the conduct of business, I think that moral behavior not only can but

must be legislated for the purpose of alleviating societal problems.

4. Morality laws that impinge upon freedom of choice about our personal lives

—

to control what

we do with and to ourselves

—

simply do not work in a democratic society.

5. Morality laws impinging on personal freedoms are not made any more useful or effective by

purporting to serve the greater good of society, because on balance their costs far outweigh their

benefits.

6. In sharp contrast to personal behavior, the behavior of businesses can and must be controlled

through legislation.

e.g. 4

电视时代的读书已经不像以前那么重要了。人们通过看电视 学到的和他们读书所能学

到的一样多。

television, reading books is not as important as it once was. People can learn as

much by watching television as they can by reading books.

Disagree

1.

Admittedly,

television

holds

certain

advantages

over

books

for

imparting

certain

types

of

knowledge.

2.

However,

the

speaker

overlooks

several

respects

in

which

books

are

inherently

superior

to

television as a medium for learning.

3. The speaker also ignores the decided tendency on the part of owners and managers of television

media

to

filter

information

in

order

to

appeal

to

the

widest

viewing

audience,

and

thereby

maximize profit.

4. Another compelling argument against the speaker’s claim has to do with how well books and

television serve their respective archival functions.

2.

人生观类

e.g. 1

differences.

Conformity: agreement

There is no doubt that society should encourage individuals to stand out to show their unique

character and qualities.

1. Conformity leads to the death of creativity.

2. A society that encourages individual differences will benefit from the creations and vitality of

its people.

3. “Whatever crushes individuality is despotism, by whatever name it may be called.” (John Stuart

Mill)

e.g. 2

无论在什么样的情况下，折衷自己的信仰要比坚持有害。

to them.

1. Having a belief is a good thing for an individual in a certain degree in the form of spiritual

support. However, if the bel

ief goes too extreme and even influences people’s life and family

negatively, it is best to reconsider whether the belief worth so much persistence.

2. Choosing to compromise does not mean that we have to give up our original belief. On the

contrary, we are finding a better way to perfect our belief.

e.g. 3

年轻人应该被鼓励去寻求长期的现实目标而不是追求眼前的名声。

immediate fame and recognition.

1. Seeking immediate fame and recognition would turn out to be counterproductive.

2. Unfortunately, t

oday’s education and society seem to attach more importance to

immediate success.

3. In the long run, pursuing long-term goals not only benefit young people themselves but

also the whole society.

e.g. 4

大多数人选择职业是基 于很实际的考虑：经济需求、找工作简单、高薪水。很难得有

人能从自己的潜质和兴趣出 发去自由的寻找一份特定的工作。

economy, the relative ease of finding a job, and the salary they can expect to make. Hardly anyone

is free to choose a career based on his or her natural talents or interest in a particular kind of

work.

Although practical considerations often play a significant role in occupational trends, ultimately

the driving forces behind people’s career decisions are individual interest and ability.

1. At first glance the balance of empirical evidence would seem to lend considerable credence to

the speaker’s claim

2. However, upon further reflection it becomes clear that the relationship between career seekers

and the supply of careers is an interdependent one, and therefore it is unfair to generalize about

which one drives the other.

3. Another compelling argument against the speaker’s claim has to do with the myriad of ways in

which people earn their living.

3.

成功励志类

e.g. 1

这个世界上没有人能够靠墨守陈规（行动或者思维上的）而获得成功。

and conventional ways of thinking.

1. Traditional ways of thinking are treasures which will prevent us from wasting time and

energy on trial things.

2. However, we can create nothing if we are only confined to the conventional experience.

e.g. 2

鼓励年轻人们相信只要他们努力就能够完成伟大的事情，这 样做不仅仅是在误导而且

存在着潜在的危害性。

enough is both misleading and potentially harmful.

Encouraging young people to believe that they can accomplish great things does more good

than harm to them.

1. No one knows much he or she can achieve before trying.

2. Encouraging young people to believe that they can accomplish great things gives them

confidence, which helps to bring out their potential.

3. Some of them may finally get frustrated because not every one can accomplish great

things; however, every one will make progress through doing their best.

e.g. 3

失败是成功之母

Agree
