美表达 / 强化写作“基本功”
NO.2
(一)赏用词之妙
1.Thankfully, goalposts do not really move — but when a player scores an own goal, he or she might wish they did.
赏析:本句中使用了评注性副词thankfully作状语,传达了说话人的内心情感。常见的此类副词还有:fortunately、hopefully、strangely、surprisingly、 undoubtedly等。
2.“Scoring an own goal” in football means accidentally ... If someone makes a bad mistake which unintentionally harms ...
赏析:第二句中的unintentionally与第一句中的accidentally为同义词,写作中灵活使用同义词可以避免用词重复,增加表达的灵活性。

Fortunately
(二)赏句式之高
1.Every language has its idioms, which are groups of words with meanings different from the meanings of the individual words.
赏析:本句中使用了which引导的非限制性定语从句对idiom做进一步的解释说明,有利于读者准确把握该词的含义。
2.“Scoring an own goal” in football means accidentally kicking or heading the ball into one's own net, and it is one of the worst things that can happen to a football player.
赏析:本句中使用了动名词短语“Scoring an own goal” in football作主语,使表达重点突出且意蕴丰富。注意使用动名词作主语时,谓语动词应用单数形式。
3.So, even if we do not know exactly where the ball is during the game, we can assume that it is somewhere in the ballpark.
赏析:本句中使用了even if 引导的状语从句,表示一种假设含义的让步,在丰富句意的同时,也可使整篇文章的句式更加多样化。
4.Sport is challenging and so is life.
赏析:本句中的“so is life”使用了部分倒装结构,表示前面的肯定情况也适用于后者。这一句式既简化了表达,又使上下文衔接更流畅,语意更连贯。

Doing exercise every day
so can her brother
(三)赏描摹之韵(写作手法)
1.Since sport is an inseparable part of day-to-day life, there are lots of sports idioms that have found their way into everyday language.
赏析:that引导的定语从句中采用了“无灵主语(that指代先行词sports idioms)”与有灵动词(find one's way)相结合的手法,这种搭配方式不但极大地丰富了句式结构,而且使表达更生动灵活。
2.However, when you are thrown a curveball, do not throw in the towel — work hard, be careful not to score an own goal, and you are sure to make it!
赏析:本句中使用了三个祈使句用以提出建议,句式简洁高效。此外,文中使用了三处习语,增加了语言的丰富性和表现力。
① that success is not final.So I always stay humble and never let it go to my head.
生活教给我,成功不是终点。所以我总是保持谦虚,不会让它冲昏头脑。

The single father, who has suffered from anxiety in the past, has been raising money for mental health support group Project 23.The group, which helps people with anxiety and mental health problems, was set up by Chris's friend Mark Sproston.
Chris's latest race, Run North West's festive 10K in Cheshire, was his fourth race and he says, possibly their last, as the kid may be too heavy in spring.Besides, Chris had been a little worried if the weather would be too chilly for his daughter.“No matter how difficult it is, I want to get us both a festive New Year medal before it gets too cold,” he added.“We have four medals now and we have run 51KM in total.”

Chris, who says exercise is an important part of positive mental health, believes there should be no reason why people can't exercise because they have kids.

B
I became aware of my stutter (结巴) when I was around 9, in the fourth grade. I began to see how other people viewed me. When the teacher asked the whole class questions, I never raised my hand though I knew the answer, because I knew I would stutter. Some kids would tell me that I talked funny, ask why I didn't talk normally, or laugh at me. As soon as that started to happen, I became more introverted (内向的).
It wasn't until the summer of 2015, before freshman year at high school. All my friends and my parents encouraged me to join the high school football team. I owed much to them, especially Coach Lane who taught me how to play football. He took the time — and had the patience — to actually teach me what to do, how to do it and how to understand the concepts of play.
In junior year, I started my first game for the high school team. I had a very good season and in January 2018, I signed the University of North Carolina. The older we get, the more of an understanding we have about the world and other people. So the first time my teammates in college heard me talk and heard that I stuttered, they did not say a thing. That was a big deal to me because I was so used to people making comments. My teammates actually tell me to slow down because talking faster causes me to stutter more. It's really helped me develop confidence.
Whenever I go back home to Georgia, I volunteer with children at my community, including those who have learning disabilities. I like to do that to inspire them with confidence. I had confidence issues when I was a kid because of my stutter, so I just don't want them to have to go through what I did. In the future, I would like to start a foundation to give back to people who stutter and create a program where kids all across the world who have a stutter can have a safe space.

Ⅱ.阅读七选五
Science shows that stretching (伸展) is essential after exercise.Stretching lengthens and mobilizes the connective tissue around your muscles.What's more,stretching helps your blood flow and even relieves your stress. 13_
You could feel sick.You won't be surprised to know that when you exercise, you raise your heart rate for a period of time.While it's great to get that blood flowing, it's just as important to get your heart rate back to a normal level after the workout is over. 14 As your heart is beating faster and your body temperature is higher, you could pass out or feel sick if you stop too fast.Stretching after physical activity allows a gradual decrease at the end of the episode.
Your muscles will likely become stiffer and more sore.When you exercise your muscles,it produces lactic acid (乳酸), which is actually what causes your muscles to become sore.When you rest between periods of exercise,your body naturally breaks down that lactic acid.Is there one thing that helps your body get rid of that lactic acid? 15_ Stretching helps you distribute oxygen throughout your body,which can reduce lactic acid production and rid your muscles of any accumulation of lactic acid.
16 Flexibility is closely related to injury risk.Poor flexibility will cause you to have muscles that get tired more quickly and joints that are more likely to suffer from injury.Besides, your weakened range of motion will lead to less blood and nutrients to your joints. 17 Sticking to stretching after physical activity can hopefully improve your flexibility.
A.You'll be at risk of injury.
B.You guessed it: stretching.
C.You'll improve your flexibility by stretching.
D.It does wonders for both your physical and mental health.
E.This is also known in the fitness world as “cooling down”.
F.There are harmful side effects if you don't stretch after exercise.
G.That's why people often feel pain in their weightbearing joints like knees and hips.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。科学表明运动后拉伸非常有必要,本篇文章介绍了运动后为什么要拉伸以及拉伸的好处。
13.选F 空前讲到了拉伸的好处。根据第二段和第三段的首句可知,空处承上启下,应该会讲到运动后不拉伸的坏处。故F项“如果你运动后不做伸展运动,就会产生有害的副作用”符合语境。
14.选E 根据空前的“it's just as important...workout is over”可知,E项“这在健身界也被称为‘降温’”承接上文,符合语境,且E项中的“This”指代“get your heart rate back to a normal level after the workout is over”。
15.选B 空前提出一个问题:有没有方法可以帮助身体摆脱乳酸。接下来应该回答这个问题并呼应主题,故B项“你猜对了:拉伸”对空前的提问进行了回答,并与下文的“Stretching”呼应。
16.选A 根据第二段和第三段的首句可知,空处应与前两段在逻辑上保持一致,也应该讲不做拉伸的坏处;再结合空后的“injury risk”可知,A项“你将会有受伤的危险”符合语境。
17.选G 根据空前两句内容可知,灵活性差会导致你的肌肉更快疲劳,关节更易损伤。除此之外,运动范围的缩小会导致关节的血液和营养供应减少。故G项“那就是人们的负重关节(如膝盖和髋关节)经常感到疼痛的原因”与上文构成因果关系,符合语境。
