第四讲 语篇体裁之记叙文主旨大意
一、作业讲解
二、新课导入
上一讲中我们说到了记叙文中的人物传记类,主要通过Timeline的形式来进行文本结构的展示。今天我们要完成第二部分,叙事不是单纯的叙事,事只是一个引子,真正的大boss是它背后所隐藏的道理,作者会learn a lesson from the experience, 读者也会有醍醐灌顶的效果,恍然大悟。而此“悟”常常发生在文章的conflict之后,也体现了作者在整个事件发生过程中情感和思想认识的一个转变,在题目中也会以最直接的方式体现出来,记叙文的主旨大意题就是选“醒悟”那一项,除了阅读理解之外,高考英语试卷中完形填空题也常常是以这种文本的形式来考察,对主旨大意的把握也就决定了大体方向。所以本讲将针对这种文本,从两个题型分别进行讲解。
三、知识点讲解
1、Story Map
这类文本跟上一讲的Timeline最明显的区别是故事的发展起伏更明显,通常伴随着作者思想意识上的变化,而这种变化的发生必然是伴随着故事发展的冲突而来,所以,简单的Timeline已经不能完整展示全面的文本信息,这时,升级版的Story Map就应运而生了。
请看以下文本:

I always looked for everything. Over time, Kate got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other.
War broke out one evening. Kate came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming. “Take your shoes away! Why under my bed!” Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me. I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder.
The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute but for a phone call. Kate answered it. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled(爬)under her covers, sobbing.
Obviously, that was not something she should not go through alone. All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart.
Slowly, I collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side. I got so into my work that I even didn’t notice Kate had sat up. She was watching, her tears dried and her expression one of disbelief. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes. She smiled at me, “Thanks.”
Kate and I stayed roommates for the rest of the year. We didn’t always agree, but we learned the key to living togeth
