读后悟考点
Ⅰ.扫词汇障碍
熟词生义
work (Para.5)
(常见义)n.& v.工作→(文章义)n.作品
构词法
greeting
greet (问候)+ing→n.问候;致意
amazing
amaze (使惊奇)+ing→adj.令人惊奇的
currently
current (目前的)+ly (副词后缀)→adv.目前;现在
Ⅱ.破译长难句
[教材1] About 35,000 works are currently being displayed in over 300 rooms in the Louvre,and it would take a lifetime to see everything!
[分析] 本句为and连接的并列句。第一个分句中,currently为副词,修饰谓语,are being displayed为现在进行时的被动形式;第二个分句中,it作形式主语,to see everything为不定式短语作真正的主语,take意为“需要;花费”。
[翻译] 卢浮宫共有300多个房间,目前正在展出的艺术品大约是35 000件,而要看完所有的展品大概需要一辈子!
[教材2] I'll say bye for now, and hope you can all visit this fantastic place one day to feel the power of these great works of art for yourselves.
[分析] 本句为并列句。and连接两个并列分句;第二个分句中you can all visit this fantastic place one day...works of art for yourselves为省略了that的宾语从句,其中to feel the power...for yourselves为不定式短语作目的状语。
[翻译] 现在,我要跟大家说再见了,希望你们有天都能前来参观这个了不起的地方,亲身感受这些伟大艺术品的力量。
[教材3] By the way, if you have enjoyed this live broadcast, subscribe to find out where I'm visiting next!
[分析] 本句为复合句,if引导条件状语从句;where 引导宾语从句。
[翻译] 顺便说一下,如果你喜欢这个现场直播,请订阅查看我接下来要去哪里参观!
Ⅲ.学表达技巧
比喻修辞
[教材1] It looks like she has just flown down out of the sky and is standing on a ship.
[分析] 句中looks like是明喻,表示“她好像刚从天上飞下来,正驻足在船上”,生动形象地描绘出了雕像令人惊叹的样子。明喻中除用like作比喻词以外,常用作比喻词的还有as,as if,as though,as...as等。

日子一天天一周周过去,现在走在这座巨大的建筑物里就像走在她的家里一样。(2024·浙江1月卷)
Days turned into weeks, and now walking in the huge building was like walking in her house.
夸张修辞
[教材2] About 35, 000 works are currently being displayed in over 300 rooms in the Louvre, and it would take a lifetime to see everything!
[分析] 句中a lifetime用夸张修辞来表达卢浮宫之大,作品之多,意为“想要全部看完恐怕得要花上一生的时间”,以言过其实的说法表达强调。它可以加强语势,增强表达效果。
[仿写] 尝试用夸张修辞补全句子
我觉得大多数语言要想掌握好都要花上一辈子的时间。
I think most languages take a lifetime to learn well.
动作描写
[教材3] Her head and arms are missing,but you can imagine her holding her arms up high,celebrating the result of an ancient battle.
[分析] 句中holding her arms up high (高举手臂),此句通过动作细节描写刻画出了雕像的样子。

Ⅰ.阅读理解(每题4分,共28分)
A
I was in my early 30s, seeking a creative outlet unrelated to boring housework and raising little kids. At 65, George had recently retired and was seeking a rewarding hobby for his golden years.For both of us, painting was “it” and we met at a local painting class.Thus began a friendship that was to last for 25 years—until the day he died.
George took to painting with an aweinspiring (令人惊叹的) level of passion and commitment, even changing the spare bedroom of his home into a studio.How I envied him, as in my own home I had neither the space nor the funds for such a luxury. His painting equipment was comprehensive. George housed many of these items in a tool box—a red metal tool box.For about six years George and I studied together through various units until the completion of the course.
Fastforward some years and George was about 80 years old.One day, he rang and told me that he was giving up painting and giving away all his “stuff”.“I can't paint, Bev.I don't know why I ever thought I could,” he declared.Actually, he was mistaken about his painting ability because he had turned out some unique and wonderful works.However, George had decided he was through with painting, and no amount of talking could persuade him otherwise.And so that was why George left all his painting equipment to me.“You have the best talent and are most likely to use it,” he said.After considerable persuasion, I accepted this precious gift on condition that he could get it back at any time.He never did, of course.
I still use much of his equipment today.As I paint, I often remember George, his big personality, generous spirit and unfailing encouragement.The most treasured item is the red tool box, still in good shape.The original shop sticker is till firmly in place although the price has long since worn off.But that's all right because to my mind some things, like friendship, are beyond price.
[语篇解读]本文是记叙文。文章讲述了作者在绘画班认识了退休后来学画画的George,并成为了忘年交。George把自己一整套心爱的绘画工具送给作者,如今每当作者作画时,都会想起George。

2.What can we infer from Paragraph 3?
A.George once created some fine paintings.
B.George didn't like his painting equipment.
C.George always wanted to give up painting.
D.George misunderstood the author's painting ability.
解析:选A。推理判断题。根据第三段的“he was mistaken about his painting ability because he had turned out some unique and wonderful works.”可知,乔治曾经创作了一些很好的画作。故选A。

The art you choose to display in your home tells a story.It represents who you are and what you care about most.“After all, if there's any place in this world that you can be the main characters of your story, it is at home,” says independent author Kimberly Drew.
When talking about how to find and choose an artwork for the home, Drew isn't so interested in what makes up “art”.Instead, he thinks the important question is: “What kind of stories do you want to tell for yourself in your home space?”
Art is all around us in the everyday objects we keep.If they mean something to you, they can be art.Then think about how you might display them.
Next, let the art speak to you and your space.Social media, magazines, and television shows have endless advice on how to get a perfect home.While they're good for inspiration, there can also be a downside: They can push us to create the “ideal” home for external approval.Remember that art in your home is about and for you.You deserve all the beauty and joy it brings.
Buying art can sound confusing, but it's like buying anything else.Think about your budget and who you want to support.See if there are auctions that are attached to social issues you care about, or the artists whose work is benefiting an organization you support.You can also ask the artists directly, find out where they are showing next, email them or follow them and interact respectfully on social media.
Where you put the artwork in the home depends on you! But you can do something to keep the artwork safe.Try not to hang anything where the humidity (湿气) levels are high.If you're hanging a piece of art in a sunny room, make sure you'll protect the piece from direct light.And make sure the hanging device you use can support the weight of the piece.
[语篇解读]本文是说明文。文章主要介绍如何选择在家里摆放的艺术品以及如何保护好家中的艺术品。
4.What is the art you choose for your home based on by Drew?
A.Whether its artist is wellknown.
B.Whether its style matches your home.
C.Whether it is related to a good memory.
D.Whether it shows what you want to express.
解析:选D。细节理解题。根据第二段的“Instead, he thinks the important question is:‘What kind of stories do you want to tell for yourself in your home space?’”可知,Drew认为选择艺术品要基于它是否表达了你想表达的东西,故选D。
5.What can we learn from Paragraph 4?
A.It is quite difficult to understand one's unique art taste.
B.It's better to ask professionals to choose artworks for us.
C.We don't need to create an ideal home to gain others' approval.
D.The ideas from social media and television shows are confusing.
解析:选C。推理判断题。根据第四段的“They can push us to create the ‘ideal’ home for external approval.Remember that art in your home is about and for you.You deserve all the beauty and joy it brings.”可知,从第四段我们可以了解到我们不需要创造一个“理想的”家来获得别人的认可。故选C。
6.According to Paragraph 5, what should you consider when purchasing an artwork?
A.The size and the price.
B.The price and the artist.
C.The style of the auction.
D.The space of your home.
解析:选B。细节理解题。根据第五段的“Think about your budget and who you want to support.”可知,当你购买艺术品时应该考虑价格和艺术家。故选B。
7.What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A.The suggestions on enjoying the artwork to the full.
B.The suggestions on making full use of your home space.
C.The suggestions on matching your home with the artwork.
D.The suggestions on taking care of the artwork in your home.
解析:选D。段落大意题。根据最后一段的“Try not to hang anything...the weight of the piece.”可知,最后一段主要讲了保护家中艺术品的建议。故选D。
Ⅱ.阅读七选五(每题2分,共10分)
Tai chi is a gentle kong fu art that started in China.It uses slow and safe movements to create and balance inner energy (called Chi).1. It's believed to have received more and more attention since the 19th century.
Tai chi is suitable for all ages and levels of fitness.It puts very little harmful stress on muscles (肌肉) and joints (关节), making it generally safe.It's an exercise that can be easily done for less able people.2.
A 2019 review of studies suggested that tai chi might reduce the risk of falls in older people.3. Sideways and backwards movements can help to strengthen muscles required for good stability (稳定).It also improves people's sense of space.
Tai chi is good for people's body.Research shows that practising tai chi is usually good for knee health.4. So people will sit or stand a little comfortably.What's more, although tai chi is so slow and smooth, it can improve both upperbody strength and lowerbody strength when practised day by day.
5. Research has shown that the brain has the ability to change through your life, growing new cells (细胞), making new connections, and even increasing in size.Tai chi does good things in these changes.Besides, tai chi reduces people's stress and worry, and increases confidence.
A.It can also reduce back pain.
B.It requires focus of mind and body.
C.Even those in wheelchairs can try it.
D.Certainly, the main point is on balance.
E.There are many reasons for you to practice tai chi.
F.Tai chi can improve the minds of older people.
G.You will find a tai chi class that matches your fitness level.
[语篇解读]本文是说明文。文章介绍了练习中国功夫——太极拳的几点好处。
1.解析:选E。分析文章结构可知,本篇文章属于“总分型”。第一段总体介绍了太极拳,包括太极拳的起源、特点以及受关注度。第二至第五段分别阐述了练太极拳的好处,所以空格处是从“总”到“分”的过渡句,用来引出下文练太极拳的好处,所以E选项“练习太极拳的理由有很多。”符合题意。故选E。
2.解析:选C。根据第二段“Tai chi is suitable for all ages and levels of fitness...for less able people.”可知,该段说太极拳适合各种人,能力较差的人也可以完成,所以C选项“即使坐轮椅的人也可以尝试。”符合题意,与前句提到的less able people“能力较差的人”相呼应。故选C。
3.解析:选D。根据上文“A 2019 review of studies suggested that tai chi might reduce the risk of falls in older people.”可知,太极拳可以降低老年人摔倒的风险,而D选项“当然,重点在于平衡。”则是对上文的解释,降低摔倒风险的重点在于平衡,符合语境。再结合后文“Sideways and backwards movements can help to strengthen muscles required for good stability(稳定).”可知,太极拳的侧向和后向运动可以加强稳定性,与D选项提到的balance“平衡”相呼应。故选D。
4.解析:选A。根据上文“Tai chi is good for people's body.Research shows that practising tai chi is usually good for knee health.”可知,该段首句总述了太极拳对身体有好处,空格前句介绍了太极拳对膝盖有好处,A选项“它还可以减轻背部疼痛。”则说明了太极拳对背部的好处,这两点好处恰好呼应了下文“So people will sit or stand a little comfortably.”,练习太极拳可以缓解背部疼痛,让人们坐着更舒服,对膝盖有好处。故选A。
5.解析:选F。根据下文“Research has shown...in these changes.”可知,下文介绍了太极拳对大脑有好处。该空放在段首,是主题句,用于概括该段的主要内容。所以F选项“太极可以改善老年人的大脑。”符合题意,且F选项中的“mind”与下文的“brain”均为“大脑”的意思,属于同义词复现,相互呼应。故选F。
