如何推断隐含意思
推断隐含意思即推断作者的言外之意或弦外之音,这类题干中通常含有infer,suggest,imply,conclude等标志性词语,如第5题。解题时一是要以文中信息为依据去推断,切忌主观臆断;二是要全面理解信息句,避免断章取义。本题的信息句在文章最后一段尾句。
(二)阅读表达

Beethoven's Symphony No.9 is not only his last great work, but also a grand finale to his life.The symphony reflects both his suffering and his strong will to fight it and it is one of the most famous and treasured pieces in the history of classical music.
2.Do you like music? What role does music play in your life?

梳理文章主线,把握人物形象
本文是一篇人物小传。人物小传是对一个人的生平、成就、经历等方面进行简要叙述的文学形式。文章常由一条主线将人物的相关经历联结成一个有机体。用来充当主线的一般是那些能够体现各种材料之间的内在联系,体现文章主题思想的事物或事理等。读文时,理清这条主线即能把握文章的结构、主题。本文以《第九交响曲》为主线,穿插介绍了贝多芬的生平,赞颂了他与命运抗争的勇气、不屈不挠的精神。
内化读文技法
人物小传注重通过对人物事迹的描写来塑造人物形象,突显人物个性。读文时,应关注评论性文字及修饰性词语,以把握人物的形象、性格特点。如本文通过对贝多芬不平凡的人生经历的描写,刻画了他面对挫折时所展现出来的坚强意志。
No.2 美表达/强化写作“基本功”
(一)赏用词之妙
1.On 7 May 1824, a crowd of music lovers streamed into a theatre in Vienna to hear the first-ever performance of the great Ludwig van Beethoven's Symphony No.9.
赏析:本句中使用了短语a crowd of“一大群”、streamed into“涌入”,生动形象地描述了观众涌进剧院去听《第九交响曲》的火爆场面。
2.Before him, he saw a sea of people all standing, clapping, and waving their hats and handkerchiefs to express their appreciation of his masterwork.
赏析:本句中使用了短语a sea of及三个连续动作standing、 clapping和waving,生动描绘出了观众们的热情,以及《第九交响曲》引发的热烈反响。本句中的“see+宾语+宾语补足语(doing/do/done)”是写作中的高级表达,尤其适用于动作描写。
3.Many important figures in the music world, including the brilliant musician Mozart, started making predictions about Beethoven's extraordinary future.
赏析:句中的including意为“包括”,常用于举例说明。需注意including为介词,其后要跟名词、代词或动名词等,included也有“包括”之意,但常放在被修饰的名词或代词之后,起着补充说明的作用。
4.The loss of his hearing deeply depressed Beethoven.He was so upset that, at first, he wanted to keep it a secret.
赏析:此处的形容词depressed、upset形象传神地描述出了贝多芬丧失听力之后低落的心情。
①_______________________________the Sanxingdui Museum to appreciate a variety of unique, grotesque bronze works.
一大群人涌进了三星堆博物馆,去欣赏各种独特的、奇形怪状的青铜作品。
②She has published more than 20 books________________, poetry and literary criticism.
她已出版了包括小说、诗歌和文学评论在内的20多部著作。
[仿写训练] (完成句子)
A crowd of people streamed into
including novels
(二)赏句式之高
1.Beethoven, who was almost completely deaf at this point in his life, was unaware of the audience's response until one of the singers turned him around to face the crowd.
赏析:本句中who引导的定语从句说明了当时贝多芬的身体状况:已近全聋,与主句谓语be unaware of相照应,也对until从句所描述的情形作出了解释。
2.When composing music at the piano, he would put one end of a pencil in his mouth and place the other end against the instrument so that he could feel the notes.
赏析:when引导的省略句简化了句子结构,与so that引导的结果状语从句搭配,简洁扼要地描述了在那些人生的至暗时刻,贝多芬是怎样坚持创作的。
①From that day on, when____________________________________, I always reach out to them, hoping to pass on the love and kindness to others.
从那天起,每当我遇到需要帮助的人,我总会向他们伸出援助之手,希望能够把爱与善良传递给别人。
[仿写训练] (完成句子)
meeting someone who is in need of help
②We can contact each other by video chat every night for half an hour in English and half an hour in Chinese, ______________________
________________.
每天晚上,我们可以通过视频聊天相互联系,用英语聊半个小时,再用汉语聊半个小时,以便我们能提高口语。
so that we can improve
our oral speaking
(三)赏修辞之功
As Beethoven's last great work, his Symphony No.9 was also a grand finale to his life — he died less than three years after the concert in Vienna, aged 56.
赏析:本句使用了暗喻的修辞手法,把《第九交响曲》比作贝多芬生命的终极乐章。音乐家不平凡的一生犹如一部恢宏盛大的交响曲展现在读者眼前,回响在读者的耳旁。
①The sky is overcast, darkened with gloomy clouds and the whole world seemed to______________________________.
天空阴沉,乌云密布,整个世界仿佛被一条巨大的灰色棉被笼罩着。
[仿写训练] (运用暗喻修辞完成句子)
be enveloped in a huge gray quilt
②__________________. She melted the ice and snow and let the grass break through the earth.
春天是位魔法师,她融化了冰雪,让小草破土而出。
Spring is a magician
(四)赏描摹之韵(写作手法)
本文采用了闪回的写作手法。文章开篇就描写了贝多芬的高光时刻——《第九交响曲》获得巨大成功;接下来,文章按照时间顺序回顾了贝多芬的一生;随后,文章回过头来详细介绍了贝多芬《第九交响曲》的内容和特点,并对贝多芬不平凡的一生和巨大的成就做出了点评。这种写法增强了文章的感染力,能够使文章更具吸引力,让读者更容易理解和接受文章的主题。

Ⅰ.阅读理解

“Time flies; Youth fades; Treasure each moment of your life,” accompanied by guitar and drums, the Band for One, made up of five people, sang the lyrics soulfully during a performance in Hangzhou, Zhejiang Province, on November 7.
Behind the band, there was a picture of a young man named Philip Hancock shown on the screen.And he is the reason why they were all there.Hancock was a 27-year-old Australian who taught English in Chongqing.When he died in 2018 due to a disease, his parents followed his wishes and donated his organs.
The five people introduced themselves onstage.They are the ones who received Philip's organs.“Last November, the Red Cross officials told me Philip's parents mentioned during an earlier memorial service that he loved music and dreamed of having his own band one day,” said Chen Xianjun, a recipient.Chen was instantly on board to form a band in memory of Philip, and so were the other four recipients.
Since they had no music experience, they had to start from scratch.From learning the guitar to mastering the maracas and taking on the drums, they took time out of their busy lives to practice over the past year.Peter Hancock, Philip's father, said after watching the band's performance, his biggest wish is for the five to enjoy their lives more.
Organ donation is not only the best way to honor a loved one, but also a remarkable way to save the lives of others.China faces a serious shortage of organs, with about 300,000 people waiting for organ transplant surgeries each year.But the good news is, more and more people have been signing up to be organ donors, showing the spirit of selflessness that Philip and so many others have shown.

At the age of 32, he had to learn with teenage students every day, starting from the most basic training of the legs and waist.At the time, he was mostly troubled by the dialogue in Beijing Opera.To him, it was the biggest obstacle, but he never gave up.
