MY AMAZING NAADAM EXPERIENCE
I experienced the Naadam Festival in China's Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region① for the first time②this year.The festival falls③ on the fourth day of the sixth month of the lunar calendar, usually lasting for three days.Naadam means “games” in Mongolian,and it is represented④ by three events⑤:horse racing⑥,wrestling⑦,and archery⑧,which are all so exciting to watch!
画线部分为v.-ing形式作状语。
画线部分为关系代词which引导的非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词three events。

inner/'Inə(r)/adj.内部的;里面的;内心的
autonomous/ɔː'tɒnəməs/adj.自治的;有自治权的

我惊艳的“那达慕”
之旅
今年,我第一次在中国内蒙古自治区体验了“那达慕”大会。这个节日每年农历六月初四开始,通常持续3天。“那达慕”在蒙古语中是“游戏”的意思,它有3个代表性项目:赛马、摔跤和射箭,这些项目观看起来都非常令人兴奋!
On the first day,I set off⑨ to the games early with my friend Burin.I saw a lot of people wearing fancy⑩ Mongolian robes⑪.Some were feeding their horses,some were practising archery,and others were chatting or taking photographs⑫.Burin told me that Mongolians travel every year from near and far⑬ to attend the festival, just as their ancestors had done for centuries.
画线部分为as引导的方式状语从句,as在句中意为“正如”。
⑨set off出发;动身;启程(=set out)
set off/out for someplace=leave for someplace动身去某地
⑩fancy/'fænsi/adj.花哨的;精致的;昂贵的vt.想要(后面只能接v.-ing形式);倾慕;自认为是 n.爱好;想象力
⑪robe/rəʊb/n.[C]袍服;礼袍
⑫take photographs 拍照
take photographs of...给……拍照
⑬from near and far 从四面八方
第一天,我和朋友布林很早就出发去了大会。我看见很多人穿着精致的蒙古族长袍。有的人在喂马,有的人在练习射箭,其他人或是在聊天,或是在拍照。布林告诉我,蒙古族人民每年都会从四面八方赶来参加这个盛会,就像他们的祖先数百年来一直做的那样。
After the opening ceremony and some amazing performances,the wrestling competition began. Mongolian wrestling is different from the wrestling in the Olympic Games.There are no rounds⑭,and wrestlers are not separated by weight.The wrestler loses if any part of his body above his knee touches the ground.After singing some songs,the competitors danced onto the green field, waving their arms in the air as if they were eagles⑮.I was quite moved by their show of strength⑯ and grace⑰.
waving their arms in the air在句中作伴随状语。as if在句中引导方式状语从句,且从句使用了虚拟语气。
⑭round n.比赛阶段;轮次;局;场
⑮eagle/'iːɡl/n.[C]雕
⑯strength n.[U]力气;[C]长处
strengthen vt.加强
⑰grace/ɡreIs/n.[U]优美;优雅;高雅
graceful adj.优雅的,优美的
开幕式和一些精彩的表演后,摔跤比赛开始了。蒙古族摔跤与奥运会上的摔跤比赛不同。蒙古族摔跤没有回合,摔跤选手也不按体重分组。如果摔跤选手膝盖以上的任何身体部位碰到地面,他就输了。唱了几首歌后,选手们在绿地上跳起了舞,他们像雄鹰一样在空中挥舞着手臂。他们对力量与优雅的展示深深地打动了我。
I absolutely⑱ enjoyed the archery,too,but the horse races were my favourite part.However,I was surprised to see that the riders were boys and girls! I heard it is because children are lighter and the horses can run faster and farther. At first,I was a little worried about the children's safety,but Burin said,“Don't worry.They've been riding horses all their lives.They'll be just fine.”That was the moment⑲ I started to understand why people say “Horses are at the heart of Mongolian culture”....
I started to understand why people say “Horses are at the heart of Mongolian culture”为定语从句,修饰先行词the moment;在该定语从句中包含一个why引导的宾语从句。
⑱absolutely/'æbsəluːtli/adv.绝对地;完全地
absolute adj.绝对的;完全的
⑲moment/'məʊmənt/n.[C]片刻;瞬间
in a moment立刻,马上
for the moment暂时,目前
at this moment在此时
at that moment在那时
我也非常喜欢射箭,但赛马是我最喜欢的部分。然而,我惊讶地发现,骑马的人竟是一些小孩儿。我听说这是因为孩子们比较轻,马可以跑得更快更远。起初,我有点担心孩子们的安全,但布林说:“别担心。他们一生都在骑马,不会有事的。”也就是在那一刻,我开始理解为什么人们说“马是蒙古族文化的核心”……
I'm finally back home now,feeling really tired,but celebrating Naadam with my friend was totally worth⑳ it. He invited me back for the winter to stay in a traditional Mongolian tent㉑ and eat hot pot㉒.I can't wait!
该句为转折连词but连接的两个并列句。在第一个分句中feeling really tired为v.-ing形式作状语,表示伴随;在第二个分句中,v.-ing短语celebrating Naadam with my friend在句中作主语,谓语动词用单数形式。
⑳worth adj.值得的(用well修饰)
be worth+名词 值得……
be worth doing某事值得做
be worth it是一种非正式表达,常用来表示“某事值得做”。
㉑tent/tent/n.[C]帐篷
㉒pot/pɒt/n.[C]罐;壶;锅
现在我终于回到家了,感到十分疲倦,但是和我的朋友一起欢度“那达慕”大会是完全值得的。他邀请我冬天再去,住在传统的蒙古包里,吃火锅。我等不及了!

[参考范文]
The Dragon Boat Festival, also called the Duanwu Festival, is celebrated on the fifth day of the fifth month of the Chinese lunar calendar.For thousands of years, the festival has been marked by eating zongzi and racing dragon boats.Zongzi is mainly made of rice, but the fillings vary a lot in different regions.Chinese people eat zongzi in memory of Qu Yuan, a famous Chinese poet.Dragon boat races are popular in the southern provinces where there are many rivers and lakes.
Today, the Dragon Boat Festival is still a very important festival in China.
Part 2 读后续写日积月累
Ⅰ.课文经典挖掘品鉴——好词活用
1.They have a wide range of origins,such as the seasons of the year,religions,famous figures,and important events.
wide的常用意思是“宽的,宽阔的”,如a wide river,a wide smile等。而在本句中指“广泛的”,用来突出范围之广。此外,wide还可以用作副词,指“尽可能远地;全部地,充分地”,如“He fell asleep with the door wide open.”和“The deer stood there with its legs wide apart.”。但要与widely区分开,widely是副词,意为“广泛地,范围广地”。
2.With the development of modern society and the spread of new ideas,some traditions may fade away and others may be established.
fade away体现了传统习俗的缓慢发展变化,相比disappear,用词更加准确、生动,能够呈现出一种画面感,引人遐思。
3.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.
no matter how引导让步状语从句,强调了后半句所说的相似点,增强了表达效果。“no matter+疑问词”引导让步状语从句时,相当于“疑问词+-ever”。这种句型结构在高考题中出现的频率很高,考生需要能够理解这类句式所表达的意思并且学会在读后续写中运用这种结构来表达人物的动作与心理。
Ⅱ.扣点描述句式呈现
1.Our opinions differ widely (=greatly) on this issue.在这个问题上,我们的分歧很大。
2.The house lights faded.Naomi took the stage.观众席的灯光逐渐变暗。内奥米走上了舞台。
3.But his smile faded as he rubbed his beard with bony fingers,in thought.但当他沉思着用瘦骨嶙峋的手指抚摸着胡子时,他的笑容逐渐消失了。
