一篇优秀的高考英语作文除了在选词方面的讲究之外，非常重要的一点就是句式结构的多样性和灵活性。也就是说，仅仅运用基本的句型，即使不出现错误，也很难体现文章的表现力，因而很难得到高分。高考英语作文的评分标准也明确规定，五档作文要求考生运用较多的语法结构，而由于运用较为复杂的语法结构所导致的少许错误是可以理解的。由此可见，句式结构的熟练运用是提高高考英语作文的重要途径。下文将介绍三类增强英高考语作文表现力的句式结构。
一、使用倒装句、强调句以改变句子的单调性
例句1：只有当你意识到学习的重要性你才会投入足够的时间
译文一： You will put in enough time when you realize the important of learning.
译文二： only when you realize the importance of learning will you put in enough time.
例句2：信念和决心让我有了今天。
译文一：Faith and determination has brought me where I am.
译文二：It is faith and determination that has brought me where I am.
二、运用并列句、感叹句、省略句使句式结构灵活多样
例句1：我父亲热爱读书，我母亲也热爱读书。
译文一：My father and my mother are both fond of reading.
译文二：My father is fond of reading, and so is my mother.
例句2：老师引领我们走进一个多彩的世界。
译文一：Our teachers lead us to a colorful world.
译文二：What a colorful world our teachers lead us to!
例句3：必要时你还可以向校长求助。
译文一：When it is necessary you can turn to the schoolmaster.
译文二：You can turn to the schoolmaster when necessary.
三、利用定语、状语及名词性从句以增强句式的紧凑性
例句1：杭州因西湖而闻名，西湖的水清澈美丽。
译文一：Hangzhou is well-known for the West Lake. Its water is clear and beautiful.
译文二：Hangzhou is well-known for the West Lake, of which the water is clear and beautiful.
例句2：虽然我还年轻，我却禁不住要关心家事。
译文一：Although I am young, I can't help concerning myself with family affairs.
译文二：Young as I am, I can't help concerning myself with family affairs.
例句3：让我感到困惑的是我莫大的付出到头来是徒劳无功。
译文一：My great effort turned out to be in vain, so I was really confused.
译文二：What confused me was that my great effort turned out to be in vain.
结语：通过以上的实例不难看出，同一个思想的表达可以采用不同的句式结构。而不同句式结构的运用也能给读者带来不一样的感受。在高考英语作文中，熟练而又准确地运用较为复杂的句式结构是取得高分的一个重要途径。
