What:本语篇围绕珠穆朗玛峰的介绍展开。重点介绍了珠穆朗玛峰的基本信息——位于中国西南部,海拔8848.86,是世界最高峰,以及攀登珠穆朗玛峰的四大危险因素——浓云、大雪、风暴、呼吸困难等;列举了三个人类勇登珠峰的壮举;探讨了登山者的精神——我们决不应该放弃实现我们梦想的尝试。它也显示了人类有时能比自然的力量更强大,启示学生在生活中要敢于坚持,勇于挑战,不轻言放弃。
Why:该语篇通过探讨人类冒险攀登珠穆朗玛峰背后的原因,使学生认识到人类克服困难、挑战极限的勇气与实践精神,联想到自己在学习和生活中所遇到的“珠峰”以及如何想办法克服困难、登上人生的“珠峰”,从而培养学生勇于挑战自我、面对困难永不放弃的精神。
How:本语篇是一篇说明文,其基本特点:数据事实,说明对象、事物的基本特征。用该文本能巩固“预测(Prediction)”、“略读(skimming)”、“寻读(scanning)、细读(close reading)”等阅读策略。
