三、主题表达训练
请你根据听力材料的内容,谈一谈作为中学生我们可以做些什么来防止沙漠化(desertification)。
参考答案:
As middle school students, we should try to do something to stop desertification.As far as I am concerned, we should inform people how important and necessary it is to stop desertification, and show them some ways they can do in their daily life to prevent this, such as saving water and reducing their carbon footprint.But above all, we should behave ourselves, setting good examples to others.Only when everyone devotes their own efforts can we make some achievements in preventing desertification.
听力素养“漫养成”
快速记录听力信息
听力录音转瞬即逝,因此,快速记录是听力考试中必须具备的一项能力。如果考生能够在很短的时间内把所听到的内容、重音、语调记录下来,并加以综合推断和理解,答题的正确率自然就会高。
在英语听力考试中,记录可以分为两种形式:一种是心记;另一种是笔记。无论是哪种记录形式,都不允许在听的过程中停下来去记录,只能是边听边记;对于没有听清的内容,也只好放弃继续往下听。
1.心记:心记也就是脑记、短时记忆。主要解决第一节的5个短对话。
一般采用句子复述法来进行,即重复所听到的内容,由简单到复杂,逐渐增加记忆的长度和难度,把语音与语义结合起来。
[典例]
W: Excuse me, sir, visiting hours are over now.Your wife must get some rest.
M: Oh, I'm sorry, doctor.I didn't hear the bell, or I would have left earlier.
[分析] 此对话关注的重点是visiting hours、 wife、 doctor、 bell等词。
2.笔记:对于信息量较大的听力材料,显然单靠心记是行不通的,而要把它记录下来,即做笔记。主要解决第二节的语篇对话或独白。
一般采用选择性记录。即对于长句可只记录几个单词,甚至几个单词的首字母;对于时间、数量只用阿拉伯数字记录即可。
3.速记方法:
(1)用标志性的字母代替较长的单词
这种方法适合记比较长的单词、常见的单词及专有名词(人名、地名、国家名、组织机构名称等),如:UN代表the United Nations; GB代表Great Britain; M代表mountain; tele代表telephone等。
(2)用核心成分代替句子
即用句中的核心成分代替整个句子,省去其他起语法功能的连词、冠词、介词等虚词;用阿拉伯数字代替它们的英语表达法。如:In Britain anyone who is physically and mentally fit and over the age of seventeen can apply for a driving license.可以速记为:Br.any physi ment fit age 17 app driv lice.。这些核心成分为整理答案的内容提供了充分的依据。
(3)用符号表示信息
如用“←”“↑”“→”“↓”等符号表示不同的方向,用“<”表示 less than,用“=”表示 be equal to,用“>”表示 more than,用“( )”表示 include。这样既可以节省时间又可以利用图形符号的直观性恢复省略掉的信息。

第Ⅱ卷 语篇综合训练
(一)阅读理解
The mental health benefits of being exposed (暴露) to nature have long been recognized, whether through activities like listening to birdsong or taking a walk in the park.
A study published recently shows that even half an hour of bird-watching could make us happier, healthier and help strengthen a deeper connection with nature. We already know that listening to birds throughout the day positively impacts our well-being. Even hearing birds indoors through an open window can boost our mental state, even though in the short term.
The study suggests that not only can bird-watching offer even more benefits than just listening to birdsong, but it's also more effective at increasing well-being and reducing stress than going on a nature walk. So why is bird-watching so good for us? It satisfies our biophilia, the thought that humans have a natural preference for nature — some might even say we should consider ourselves as part of nature — which is why being in natural surroundings makes us feel better.
Bird-watching can enhance positive feelings — the basis of well-being. Research shows that being aware of our feelings affects well-being more positively. For example, a study asked participants to either count
how many birds they had seen, or rate their joy upon seeing each bird species, and both groups reported well-being boosts. However, the joyful group experienced the most improvement, suggesting that participants' attention to positive feelings while bird-watching may have promoted the activity's benefits. But bird-watching can be more than just joyful. Research suggests that experiencing awe (敬畏) of nature can be life-changing for human well-being. “Noticing” is a key aspect of awe. It means that our full attention is on the birds rather than ourselves. Being in nature and noticing wildlife requires us to completely get lost in the activity, which can improve mental and physical health.
So, grab your binoculars (双筒望远镜) and step into nature for a lift in well-being. Take on the journey and enjoy every moment.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了观鸟活动对人们身心健康的好处,并鼓励人们拿起双筒望远镜,走进大自然,享受观鸟带来的愉悦和提升幸福感的过程。
1.What can a short-term exposure to birdsong do?
A.It can change people's view on nature.
B.It can prepare people for further bird-watching.
C.It can contribute to improving people's mental state.
D.It can improve people's physical health significantly.
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段中“Even hearing birds indoors through an open window can boost our mental state, even though in the short term.”可知,短期接触鸟鸣声有助于改善人们的精神状态。
√
2.What does the underlined word “biophilia” in paragraph 3 mean?
A.The love for the natural world.
B.The tiredness of being in nature.
C.A kind of medicine made from plants.
D.A preference for birds that can sing sweetly.
解析:词义猜测题。根据画线词后文“the thought that humans have a natural preference for nature — some might even say we should consider ourselves as part of nature — which is why being in natural surroundings makes us feel better.”可知,biophilia指的是人类天生对自然世界的热爱。
√
3.What is the key factor in experiencing awe while bird-watching?
A.Counting the number of birds.
B.Spending a long time in nature.
C.Using high-quality binoculars.
D.Concentrating on the birds instead of oneself.
解析:细节理解题。根据第四段中“‘Noticing’ is a key aspect of awe. It means that our full attention is on the birds rather than ourselves.”可知,在观鸟时体验敬畏的关键因素是把注意力集中在鸟身上,而不是自己身上。
√
4.Which of the following would be the best title for the text?
A.Bird-Watching: A Path to Enhanced Well-Being
B.The Preparations for Going Bird-Watching
C.The Methods for Improving Your Mental Health
D.Bird-Watching: A Way to Connect with Nature
解析:标题归纳题。通读全文并结合第二段可知,文章主要介绍了观鸟活动对人们身心健康的好处,并鼓励人们拿起双筒望远镜,走进大自然,享受观鸟带来的愉悦和提升幸福感的过程。故A项“观鸟:提升幸福感的途径”适合作文章标题。
√
(二)阅读七选五
When the monthly electricity bill came home, parents always couldn't believe their eyes, as the amount was much more than needed. 5 Here are some tips for parents to educate their children on how to save energy.
Switch off the lights.Assign one day in a week for a “turn off” practice, for a few hours.Tell the kids the significance of using less electricity and how it impacts the environment. 6
Use energy-efficient transportation.When parents and their children are out on vacation, have a cycling outing.When the whole family rides bicycles together, it not only serves as a great bonding exercise, but it also teaches the children about eco-friendly transportation options. 7
Play a game. 8 Engage them in a game instead.Ask the little ones to walk around the house with pen and paper, and make a note of all the equipment that consume energy.Let them suggest what measures can be taken within the home to reduce consumption of electricity and go green.Parents can stick small notes near these appliances to give them interesting information on conservation.
9 Create a theatre-like experience at home on a Sunday and gather everyone in the family, especially the kids, to watch an informative film about environmental issues or climate change.If parents have slightly older children, they can discuss the film and ask them what they think.
A.Watch an environmental film.
B.Talk with children about their opinions.
C.Play some games related to environmental protection.
D.Lecturing kids about environmental issues won't help.
E.It makes them aware of the environmental effect of cars.
F.Light up some candles and play a board game to keep the children occupied.
G.So parents should urge their children to take up environment-friendly projects.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了教育孩子们节约能源的四个方法。
5.解析:选G 由上文可知,这里主要讲每月电费超出父母预计。故G项“因此,父母应该敦促他们的孩子从事环保项目”承接上文,符合语境。其中“take up environment-friendly projects”与上文“the amount was much more than needed”形成因果关系。
6.解析:选F 由上文可知,这里主要建议父母每周关一次电。故F项“点燃一些蜡烛,玩棋盘游戏,让孩子们有事可做”承接上文,符合语境。其中“Light up some candles”和上文“a ‘turn off’ practice”对应。
7.解析:选E 由上文可知,这里主要讲父母可以让孩子们骑自行车出行 ,这样更加环保。故E项“这让他们意识到汽车对环境的影响”承接上文,符合语境。其中“It”与前一句的事情对应,“them”也与前文中的“the children”对应。
8.解析:选D 由下文可知,这里讲要让孩子们参与到节约能源的活动中,而不应该只是一味说教。故D项“口头教育孩子们有关环境问题没有帮助”与下文构成转折关系,符合语境。其中“kids”与后文的“them”对应。
9.解析:选A 由后文可知,这里主要讲父母可以和孩子们一起看一部关于环境问题的电影。故A项“观看有关环境的电影”引出下文,符合语境。其中“an environmental film”与下文中“an informative film about environmental issues or climate change”对应。
