或者：

In Utah, the minors constitute nearly one third of the local population. By comparison, the figures for other two states are 27.3% and 22.8% respectively.

请注意在第2个句子中，The figures for…are…是常用来描写后面的几个数据的句型，在起始点的描写中我们也有提及。除此以外，我们还可以用排序结构来描写后续的几个数据，比如：

It is followed by California and Florida (27.3% and 22.8% respectively).

有时候，三个数据中会存在某2个数据间存在倍数关系，这个时候，我们可以采用另外一个更为先进的“2+1”的写法来描写表象意义，我们仍旧用3月31日这个考题中第2排数据作为例子，这一排数据介绍的是三个州老年人口的比重，其中，Florida的数据是Utah州的2倍左右。若这一排数据作为主体段开篇的内容，我们可以这样来写：

In Florida, the elderly residents constitute 17.6% of the local population. This figure over doubles that in Utah while 10.6% of the citizens in California are of this age groups.

现在，我们再来看一下2008年3月13日的考题。同样是表格，同样是3个数据，我们仍旧可以采用最大值的表象意义来写：

At college C, over half (60%) of the lectures are of PHD qualification, which is much higher than that of other two colleges. The figures for college A and college B are 35% and 45% respectively.

或者：

At college C, lectures with PHD qualification constitute over half (60%) of the lectures. The figures for college A and college B are 35% and 45% respectively.

除了以上介绍的这几种最大值表象意义的写法外，在高分范文中同样有几个经典的写法，在这里也作一个总结。第一个是213页上2006年3月的考题，这是一个柱形图，图表里展示了5种交通方式的公里数，其中bus, rail份额最大，因此我们用表象意义来描写最大的这2个交通方式：

It is noticeable that buses and trains were the principal modes of public transport during the last decade in the UK, each with between 40 and 50 billion kilometers travelled.

第2个是在225页上的2006年4月的考题，题目由3个饼图组成，描写的是大学生开销最大的几个领域，其中accommodation, food所占份额最大，我们可以用主系表来描写其表象意义：

Accommodation and food were the two biggest items of expenditures. Altogether they constituted around 60% of the total expenditure in all three countries.

2. 最大幅度

除了最大值外，有时候用最大幅度作为主体段开篇也不失为一种合理的思路，从写法上来说还是采用我们已经介绍过的表象意义。比如2007年4月14日考题，第一个柱形描述了4种在英国的职业的年薪在3年中的变化，因为都是增长，只是存在涨幅的不同，所以我们采用幅度大小来作为数据的排列顺序就比较合理：

It is noticeable that fire fighter experienced the quickest growth in their annual salary, rising by around 7000 pounds during the three years.

以上几种最大值表象意义的写法非常具有代表性和可操作性，希望考生们能够仔细去体会一下其中的写作理论和思路。

三．总体趋势

总体趋势这种写法包括总数统计和总变化趋势2种，我们既可以将其作为主体段的开篇，也可以放到引言段里，作为第2个句子，这也是很多高分范文采用的方式。

1. 总数统计

总数统计有2种写法，即并列描写和对比描写，我们来看一下2007年6月2日考题，题目中在2个饼图上方分别有2个总的时间，我们可以分别用这2种方法来写：

Overall, a total of 7hrs 47min was spent by US general population on the media, compared to 6hrs 7min of the teenagers.

或者：

Overall, time spent by US general population on the media totaled 7hrs 47min, compared to 6hrs 7min of the teenagers.

在这2种写法中，我们活用了total这个单词，第一个句子里它作为名词使用，第2个句子中它作为及物动词使用，2种写法都非常不错，值得大家借鉴。

下面我们再来看看2006年3月的考题，同样的总数统计，同样的句型，我们可以这样写：

In 1990, a total of 100 billion passenger kilometers were travelled by UK residents using the surveyed transportation methods, which went up slightly by about 10 billion to reach 110 billion 10 years later.

对比描写即对比出大小关系，前面提到的2007年6月2日考题，我们用对比描写即：

The US general population spent more time than the teenagers on the media, with 7hrs 47min and 6hrs 7min respectively. 同样的方法可以运用于2006年4月考题：

In general, students in country A spent slightly more than those in country B (US $5000 and US $4500 respectively). In comparison, students expenditure in country C was considerably lower, at only US $1500 per year.

2. 总变化趋势

总变化趋势即总体上升，下降或者波动，这种写法相对比较简单，我们一般采用主谓宾的简单句，比如前面提到的2007年6月9日的考题：

Overall, the world population experienced an upward trend in the past six centuries, rising sharply from less than 500 million to 6 billion, a growth of 12 times.

我们还可以用主谓结构来写：

Overall, the world population rose sharply from less than 500 million in the 1400s to 6 billion in 2000, a growth of 12 times over 600 years. The increase was more dramatic after 1800 and only in the 1700s was there an obvious decline.

以上汇总了目前小作文主体段开篇的最主流的三种方式，希望对大家有所启迪。
