读后悟考点
Ⅰ.扫词汇障碍
构词法
[教材1] For example, America's NASA space agency launched Voyager 1 on 5 September 1977 to study deep space, and it still transmits data today.
transmit:trans(前缀,变换,转移)+mit (送)→vt.& vi.传输;发送
[教材2] Yang Liwei successfully orbited Earth in the Shenzhou 5 spacecraft.
spacecraft:space(太空)+craft(飞行器)→n.宇宙飞船
Ⅱ.破译长难句
[教材1] China became the third country in the world to independently send humans into space in 2003,when Yang Liwei successfully orbited Earth in the Shenzhou 5 spacecraft.
[分析] 此句是复合句。when引导非限制性定语从句,对前面的2003这一先行词作解释说明,when在从句中作时间状语。
[翻译] 2003年,杨利伟乘坐“神舟五号”宇宙飞船成功环绕地球运行,中国成为世界上第三个能够独立将人类送入太空的国家。
[教材2] Then Shenzhou 6 and 7 completed a second manned orbit and the first Chinese spacewalk,followed by the vehicle Jade Rabbit being sent to the moon to study its surface.
[分析] Shenzhou 6 and 7 completed a second manned orbit and the first Chinese spacewalk是句子的主干。句中followed by the vehicle Jade Rabbit为过去分词短语作状语;being sent to the moon to study...为现在分词短语作后置定语,其中to study its surface为不定式短语作目的状语。
[翻译] 此后,“神舟六号”和“神舟七号”分别完成了第二次载人环绕地球飞行以及中国的第一次太空行走。紧接着,“玉兔号”月球车飞抵月球,开展月球表面研究工作。
Ⅲ.学表达技巧
心理描写
[教材1] Before the mid20th century, most people felt travelling into space was only a dream that could never come true.
[分析] never come true用得恰到好处,说明在20世纪中叶之前许多人认为到太空难度太大了。
[仿写] 如果你坐等成功,你的生活将永远不会改变,你的梦想将永远不会实现。
If you sit around waiting for success, your life will never change, and your dream will never come true.
高级副词
[教材2] For example, on 5 September 1977, America's NASA space agency launched Voyager 1 to study deep space, and it still transmits data to this day.
[分析] 用still一词凸显了1977年发射的“旅行者1号”的良好性能。
[仿写] 虽然他已经长大了,但他仍然依赖他的父母。
Although he has grown up, he still depends on his parents.
高级词汇
[教材3] However, while such disasters brought much sadness and disappointment, the desire to explore the universe did not die.
[分析] 使用not die来表现人们对太空探索的坚持,传递出人们对探索太空的欲望。
[仿写] 无论未来发生什么,我对你的爱永不消散。
My love for you will never die no matter what will happen in the future.
