He found the influence had lasted for many years.Additionally，he found napping would do harm to children’s mental performance. 2．表示因果 Recently，the unsafe additives have made people worried about the food safety.Consequently，the government has already taken action to improve the situation. Its quantity demand has increased rapidly due to the convenient bottled water. 3．表示转折 Drier climates also easily result in water shortages；nonetheless，good management can guarantee enough water to satisfy our fundamental demands. 4．表示对比 Fishes and birds migrate to feed，while some animals，such as a kind of mouse in Northern Europe，move for more spaces to live in. 假定你是李华，你校英语俱乐部即将举办文学名著读书会。请你为莎士比亚(Shakespeare)的《威尼斯商人》(The Merchant of Venice)写一篇概要，并在读书会上与大家分享。概要的内容包括： 1．作品名称及作者； 2．剧情介绍； 3．作品的意义及你的感受。 注意：可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。 第一步　审题谋篇 审题 1．本文是一篇概要。 2．本文使用的时态主要是一般现在时。 3．本文使用的人称主要是第三和第一人称。 谋篇 第一段：指出作品名称及作者； 第二段：具体介绍故事情节和故事高潮； 第三段：谈谈作品的意义以及自己的感受。 第二步　遣词造句 核心词汇 1．出身高贵但身无分文的noble but penniless 2．向某人贷款ask sb for a loan 3．向某人求爱woo sb 4．合同contract 5．偿还贷款repay the loan 6．一磅肉a pound of flesh 7．对……实施报复enforce a revenge on 8．扭转……的胜局，反击turn the tables on 9．主题theme 连词成句 1．《威尼斯商人》是莎士比亚的戏剧之一。 The Merchant of Venice is one of Shakespeare’s plays. 2．巴萨尼奥(Bassanio)是一位出身高贵但身无分文的威尼斯人。 Bassanio is a noble but penniless Venetian. 3．他向朋友安东尼奥(Antonio)借了一笔贷款，这样他就可以踏上向波西亚(Portia)求爱的旅程。 He asked his friend Antonio for a loan so that he can undertake a journey to woo Portia. 4．安东尼奥的钱投资于外国企业，所以他向夏洛克(Shylock)借钱以协助巴萨尼奥。 Antonio’s money is invested in foreign ventures，so he borrows money from Shylock in order to assist Bassanio. 5．由于无法拿回自己的钱，夏洛克试图对安东尼奥进行可怕的报复，索要他的一磅肉。 Unable to get his money back，Shylock attempts to enforce a terrible revenge on Antonio，demanding his pound of flesh. 6．波西亚通过一场争论扭转了夏洛克的胜局。 Portia turns the tables on Shylock by an argument. 7．他必须只能割肉，如果有血洒出来，夏洛克就必须死。 He must take the flesh only，and Shylock must die if any blood is spilled. 第三步　句式升级 1．用同位语将句2和句3合并成一句话。 Bassanio，a noble but penniless Venetian，asks his friend Antonio for a loan so that he can undertake a journey to woo Portia. 2．用非限制性定语从句升级句4。 Antonio，whose money is invested in foreign ventures，borrows money from Shylock in order to assist Bassanio. 3．用同位语从句将句6和句7合并为一句话。 Portia turns the tables on Shylock by an argument that he must take the flesh only，and Shylock must die if any blood is spilled. 第四步　组句成篇 用适当的过渡词语，把以上词汇和句式，再加上联想内容，组成一篇英语短文。 参考范文 The Merchant of Venice is one of Shakespeare’s plays.Bassanio，a noble but penniless Venetian，asks his friend Antonio for a loan so that he can undertake a journey to woo Portia.Antonio，whose money is invested in foreign ventures，borrows money from Shylock in order to assist Bassanio.However，if the loan can not be repaid in time，Antonio will give Shylock a pound of flesh. News arrives that Antonio’s ships have been lost at sea.Unable to get his money back，Shylock attempts to enforce a terrible revenge on Antonio，demanding his pound of flesh.However，Portia turns the tables on Shylock by an argument that he must take the flesh only，and Shylock must die if any blood is spilled.Thus，the contract is canceled. This play，in my opinion，focuses on several main themes，such as friendship and the strength of women. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
