读后悟考点
Ⅰ.扫词汇障碍
构词法
[教材1] This important agricultural festival takes place after all the crops have been gathered in.
agricultural: agriculture (农业)+al(形容词后缀, 表示“与……有关的”)→adj.农业的
熟词
生义
[教材2] They have a wide range of origins, such as the seasons of the year, religions, famous figures, and important events.
figure:[常见义]n.数字→[文章义]n.人物
[教材3] One example is the typical Chinese Spring Festival custom of lighting firecrackers to drive away the evil spirits and celebrate the new year.
spirit:[常见义]:n.精神→[文章义]n.神灵
Ⅱ.破译长难句
[教材1] During the MidAutumn Festival in China,families gather to admire the shining moon and enjoy delicious mooncakes.
[分析] 本句是简单句。不定式短语“to admire the shining moon and enjoy delicious mooncakes”作目的状语,shining作定语修饰moon。
[翻译] 在中国,中秋节期间,家家户户欢聚一堂,共赏明月,品尝美味的月饼。
[教材2] Although some believe festivals should not be commercialised,others believe the increase in spending is good for the economy and public happiness.
[分析] 本句是复合句。although在句中引导让步状语从句;“others believe...public happiness”是主句,其中believe后接宾语从句“the increase...public happiness”,该从句前省略了引导词that。
[翻译] 尽管有人认为节日不应该被商业化,但是也有人认为消费增长有利于(促进)经济和(提高)公众幸福感。
[教材3] And if you study festivals carefully, you may be surprised to find that different cultures actually have a lot in common after all.
[分析] 本句是复合句。“if you study festivals carefully”为if引导的条件状语从句,“you may be surprised...”是主句,其中“that different cultures...after all”为that引导宾语从句,作find的宾语。
[翻译] 如果你仔细研究节日,你可能会惊讶地发现不同的文化实际上有很多共同点。
Ⅲ.学表达技巧
过渡衔接
[教材1] However,no matter how different they may seem,all over the world,the spirit of sharing joy,gratitude,love,or peace is common in all festivals.
[分析] however的运用使文章内容衔接自然;no matter how引导让步状语从句,使文章句式富有变化,丰富了语言表达。
[仿写] 一个意志坚强的人总是努力完成工作,不管它有多么艰难。
A determined person always tries to finish the job, no matter how hard it is.
高级词汇
[教材2] It featured a parade and a great feast with music, dancing, and sports.
[分析] feature一词用词形象、地道,突出了节日特征。
[仿写] 作为回应,我创作了一幅以被树木和鲜花环绕的湖泊为特色的山水画。(2024·新高考Ⅰ卷应用文写作)

写作技巧
