11．3关于如何写过程分析段落的建议
1）按照事物发展过程的顺序解释过程
过程分析通常使用时间顺序法组织段落，因为告诉别人怎样做某件事的最容易的方法是一步一步地分析。
2）提及必要的用具、成分的分量和时机，在适当的地方提醒读者注意容易做错的地方。
3）使用列举符号表示步骤。
下面的列举符号（listing signals）常用于过程描述：
first，second，third，etc．
to begin with，then，finally，etc．
Exercise 11…1
Directions：Read the following paragraph，then find out the topic sentence，the listing signals and analyze the steps of the process．
In his will，Alfred Nobel left specific instructions as to how the winners of the
science awards he endowed are to be selected．First，each year the
Swedish Academy of Sciences（physics and chemistry）and the Caroline Medical Institute（physiology and medicine）solicit nearly two thousand remendations from past laureates，university professors and other
experts from all over the world．The second step is the review of remendations received and the
selections of preliminary candidates by special mittees within the two
Swedish institutions．The mittee members are specifically instructed that those chosen “shall have conferred the greatest
benefit on mankind，”and that no considerations be given to the candidates' nationalities．Next，after lengthy investigation and discussion，the final choices are made for each
discipline．Finally，telegrams informing them of their
awards are sent to the new Nobel laureates about one month prior to the award
ceremony．

Exercise 11…2
Directions：The sentences below constitute a paragraph on the scientific methods．However，the sentences have been given in a
disordered sequence．You should place them in their correct order．
a．Following
this method，the reseacher
first observe some aspects of nature and then poses a specific question about
what he has observed．
b．Experiments
based on this hypothesis are designed and conductedto test each contingency．
c．In order to
answer this question，potent data are collected．
d．After
thorough experimentation，the researcher validates，modifies，or rejects his original hypothesis．
e．Originating
from the branch of philosophy called epistemology，what we now know as the scientific method provides guidelinesf of
the systematic acquisition of knowledge．
f．On the basis
of these data，a hypothesis
is proposed to explain them．

第十二单元 组织段落方法——时间顺序法和空间顺序法
组织段落的常见方法有：1）时间顺序；2）空间顺序；3）重要性顺序和；4）熟悉度顺序。在前几单元，我们曾提到写叙述段落和过程分析时用时间顺序，写描述段落时用空间顺序。在这一单元里，我们将着重讨论这两种组织方法。另两种方法——重要性和熟悉度顺序——将在第19单元讨论。
12．1时间顺序法
段落内组织细节的最简单最常见的方法是时间顺序法（time order
organization）。时间顺序通常用于叙述和过程分析——先发生什么，然后怎样，再然后怎样，等等。正如我们在示范段落9－1和示范段落11－1所看到的一样。其实在你的生活中你经常运用这种方法。你也许曾经告诉你父母在学校里发生的事情。你也许向老师或同学叙述过你是怎样做一个实验的。这些用的都是时间顺序。
12．2关于如何写时间顺序段落的建议
1）写下你要记录的事件或步骤，然后按照时间顺序排列
2）确定你的写作目的，然后写出带有中心思想的主题句
3）从你列举的事件或步骤中删除与中心思想无关的细节
4）使用“first，then，the next step”等等列举符号把细节连接起来
12．3空间顺序法
段落组织的另一方法是空间顺序法（space order
organization）。空间顺序主要用于描述，正如我们在示范段落10－1和示范段落10－2所看到的。空间顺序和时间顺序一样，是生活中经常使用的方法。你也许曾在信中向你父母描述你的学院，或向你的同学描述一个风景区。
12．4关于如何写空间顺序段落的建议
按照你想让你的读者了解你要描绘的场面的方式移动——例如，从左到右，或从背景到前景，或按顺时针方向，等等。
12．5综合运用空间顺序和时间顺序
有时候，尤其在描写参观时，有必要同时运用空间顺序和时间顺序，以增强段落的统一性。
示范段落12…1
We enjoyed our visit to Dr Hassan's house，perched high up on a hill．Walking up the long driveway，we approached the huge bronze door．A butler was standing in the open
doorway，ushering
guests into the house．Going in，we passed the oak－pannelled library and the formal dining room before we arrived at
the ballroom，where the
reception was being held．Under three sparkling chandeliers，more than a hundred people were enjoying champagne，hors d'oeuvres and good
conversation．

Hassan's house．
