His seven epic voyages to the Western Seas have left an indelible mark on history. Born in Yunnan in 1371, Zheng He rose to become a trusted official of Emperor Zhu Di. The emperor ordered him to explore foreign lands, develop trade, and build diplomatic relations. Zheng He’s fleet, known as treasure ships, was so large that each ship could carry 25,000 people and massive quantities of goods. From 1405 to 1433, he traveled to Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and even the east coast of Africa—routes that were too distant for most explorers of his time to reach. His voyages not only promoted trade between China and other countries but also encouraged cultural and technological exchanges. Zheng He’s courage and wisdom prove that exploration is not just about discovering new places, but about building bridges between nations. He is truly a pioneer whose spirit still inspires us today. 【译文】 我敬佩的一位伟大探险家 我最敬佩的伟大探险家是郑和，中国明朝一位勇敢的航海家。他七次下西洋的壮举在历史上留下了不可磨灭的印记。 郑和于1371年出生在云南，后来成为明成祖朱棣信任的官员。皇帝命令他出使海外，开拓贸易并建立外交关系。郑和的船队被称为“宝船”，规模极为庞大，每艘船能搭载2.5万人和大量货物。1405年至1433年间，他远航至东南亚、中东，甚至非洲东海岸——这些航线在当时对大多数探险家来说太过遥远，难以抵达。 他的航行不仅促进了中国与其他国家的贸易往来，还推动了文化和技术交流。郑和的勇气与智慧证明，探索不仅是发现新土地，更是搭建国家间的桥梁。他确实是一位先驱，其精神至今仍激励着我们。 亮点词块 1.epic voyages 壮举航行 2.indelible mark 不可磨灭的印记 3.trusted official 亲信官员 4.diplomatic relations 外交关系 5.massive quantities of 大量的 6.promote trade 促进贸易 7.cultural and technological exchanges 文化和技术交流 8.build bridges between nations 搭建国家间的桥梁 高分句子 1.Zheng He’s fleet, known as treasure ships, was so large that each ship could carry 25,000 people and massive quantities of goods.（运用so…that结果状语从句，贴合单元语法重点，突出船队规模） 2.From 1405 to 1433, he traveled to Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and even the east coast of Africa—routes that were too distant for most explorers of his time to reach.（用too…to结构强调航线难度，丰富句式表达） 3.Zheng He’s courage and wisdom prove that exploration is not just about discovering new places, but about building bridges between nations.（升华主题，点明探索的深层意义，提升作文深度） 【拓展1】 你的班级要举办“探索精神分享会”，请你写一篇短文，讲述马可·波罗的探索经历及其影响，词数不少于80。 Marco Polo: A Explorer Who Connected East and West ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【拓展1范文】 Marco Polo: A Explorer Who Connected East and West Marco Polo, a famous Italian explorer, is remembered as a bridge between Eastern and Western civilizations. His journey to China in the 13th century was full of challenges but achieved extraordinary results. At the age of 17, Marco Polo set off for China with his father and uncle. The journey was so tough that it took them 24 years to return to their hometown. During his stay in China, he traveled extensively, visiting cities like Hangzhou and Beijing. He was deeply impressed by China’s prosperity and recorded his experiences in a book called The Travels of Marco Polo. This book was so influential that it opened Westerners’ eyes to Eastern culture, technology, and wealth. It inspired many later explorers, including Christopher Columbus, to set sail for new lands. Marco Polo’s story shows that true exploration is enough to break down cultural barriers and promote mutual understanding. 【拓展1译文】 马可·波罗：连接东西方的探险家 马可·波罗，一位著名的意大利探险家，被誉为东西方文明之间的桥梁。他13世纪的中国之行充满挑战，却取得了非凡的成就。 17岁时，马可·波罗与父亲和叔叔一同启程前往中国。这段旅程异常艰难，他们花了24年才回到家乡。在中国逗留期间，他游历甚广，到访了杭州、北京等城市。他被中国的繁荣景象深深打动，并将自己的经历记录在《马可·波罗游记》一书中。 这本书极具影响力，让西方人得以了解东方的文化、技术和财富。它激励了后来许多探险家，包括克里斯托弗·哥伦布，扬帆起航寻找新的土地。马可·波罗的故事表明，真正的探索足以打破文化壁垒，促进相互理解。 【拓展2】 请根据以下提示，仿写一篇“探索引发的故事”，运用结果状语从句和too…to/enough to结构，词数100左右，开头已给出。 提示 信息 核心内容 主角（学生李明）、探索背景（学校组织“古村落考察”）、经历（发现失传的手工编织技艺）、结果（帮助村民推广技艺，带动乡村旅游） 语言要求 运用so…that、too…to或enough to，贴合单元语法重点 Last month, my school organized an exploration activity to an ancient village in the mountains. I joined the activity with great excitement, never expecting that a small discovery would change the village’s fate. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ 【拓展2范文】 Last month, my school organized an exploration activity to an ancient village in the mountains. I joined the activity with great excitement, never expecting that a small discovery would change the village’s fate. During the exploration, I met an elderly villager who was weaving cloth with a traditional loom. Her craft was so exquisite that I was immediately attracted. I learned that this weaving technique was nearly lost because young people thought it was too complicated to learn. Determined to help, I took photos and videos of her work and posted them online. The videos became so popular that many tourists came to the village to watch the weaving process. The villagers were encouraged and set up workshops to teach the craft. Now, the village is lively again, and the weaving technique is preserved. This experience taught me that a small act of exploration is enough to bring hope to a community. 【拓展2译文】 上个月，学校组织了一次前往山中古村落的考察活动。我满怀兴奋地参加了这次活动，从未想过一个小小的发现会改变这个村庄的命运。 考察期间，我遇到一位老奶奶，她正在用传统织布机织布。她的手艺如此精湛，我立刻被吸引住了。我了解到，这种织布技艺几乎失传，因为年轻人觉得它太复杂，难以学会。我决心帮忙，拍下了她织布的照片和视频并发布到网上。 这些视频大受欢迎，许多游客来到村庄观看织布过程。村民们受到鼓舞，成立了作坊传授这项技艺。现在，村庄又热闹起来，织布技艺也得以传承。这次经历让我明白，一次小小的探索足以给一个社区带来希望。 本话题作文的一些实用短语与句型积累 一、核心主题词汇 1.探索与探险相关（单元重点） · 探险家与航行：explorer 探险家；navigator 航海家；voyage 航行；journey 旅程；expedition 探险队；treasure ship 宝船；fleet 船队；set sail 起航；set off 出发；travel extensively 广泛游历 · 成就与影响：promote trade 促进贸易；diplomatic relations 外交关系；cultural exchange 文化交流；technological exchange 技术交流；break down barriers 打破壁垒；mutual understanding 相互理解；leave a mark 留下印记；inspire later generations 激励后人 · 语法相关：结果状语从句（so/such…that）；too…to 太……而不能；enough to 足以…… · 动作与感受：explore foreign lands 探索异国他乡；develop relations 建立关系；record experiences 记录经历；overcome challenges 克服挑战；be impressed by 被……打动；preserve traditions 传承传统 1. 语法相关（单元重点） · 结果状语从句（so…that/such…that）： · so + 形容词/副词 + that：The journey was so tough that few people dared to try.（旅程如此艰难，很少有人敢尝试。） · such + (a/an) + 形容词 + 名词 + that：It was such an important discovery that it changed history.（这是一项如此重要的发现，改变了历史。） · too…to 结构： · 表示“太……而不能”，例：The route was too dangerous to travel alone.（这条路线太危险，无法独自前行。） · enough to 结构： · 表示“足以……”，例：His courage was enough to face all difficulties.（他的勇气足以面对所有困难。） · 否定转移：too…not to 表示“太……不会不”，例：He was too smart not to find the solution.（他太聪明了，一定会找到解决办法。） 1. 表达类（单元基础） · 逻辑连接：because 因为；so 所以；not only… but also… 不仅……而且……；during 期间；from…to… 从……到……；even 甚至；however 然而 · 感悟表达：indelible mark 不可磨灭的印记；extraordinary results 非凡的成果；prosperity 繁荣；civilization 文明；pioneer 先驱；spirit of exploration 探索精神 二、实用句型积累 1.介绍探险家（贴合单元核心） · The great explorer I admire most is…, a…from… 我最敬佩的伟大探险家是……，一位来自……的……，例：The great explorer I admire most is Zhang Qian, a diplomat from the Han Dynasty. · Born in…, he/she… 出生于……，他/她……，例：Born in 1451, Columbus dreamed of sailing to Asia. · His/Her…was so…that… 他/她的……如此……以至于……，例：His fleet was so large that it shocked the world. · He/She traveled to…, which were too…to… 他/她到访了……，这些地方太……而……，例：He traveled to remote regions which were too far for most people to reach. 1. 描述探索经历（贴合单元主题） · The journey was full of…, but he/she… 旅程充满了……，但他/她……，例：The journey was full of storms and dangers, but he never gave up. · His/Her discovery was enough to… 他/她的发现足以……，例：His discovery was enough to promote cultural exchange between nations. · It was such a…experience that… 这是一次如此……的经历，以至于……，例：It was such an unforgettable experience that he recorded every detail. 1. 表达探索意义（贴合单元内涵） · Exploration is not just about…, but about… 探索不仅是关于……，更是关于……，例：Exploration is not just about discovering new lands, but about broadening horizons. · His/Her story teaches us that… 他/她的故事告诉我们……，例：His story teaches us that perseverance is the key to success in exploration. · It inspires us to… 它激励我们……，例：It inspires us to face challenges bravely and pursue our dreams. 三、课堂实用句型 · 提问句型：Who is your favorite explorer?；What did he/she explore?；What challenges did he/she face?；What achievements did he/she make?；Why do you admire him/her? · 回答句型：My favorite explorer is Zheng He.；He explored the Western Seas and visited many countries.；He faced storms and distant routes.；He promoted trade and cultural exchange.；I admire him for his courage and wisdom. 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $
