课文写法借鉴
NO.2
(一)赏用词之妙
1.The Aboriginal population might be small, but its influence is still visible.
赏析:still一词表明了土著人人数虽少,但影响依然存在。visible“可见的”,说明土著人的影响“显而易见”。
2.They have a straightforward and free-and-easy attitude towards life, and their friendliness and warmth made me feel at home wherever I went.
赏析:本段文字主要描写了当地人对待生活的态度——简单直率、随性洒脱。他们的友善和热情让作者无论走到哪里都有宾至如归的感觉。
①Only an hour ago the blackness was absolute, but now
___________________, silvery.

very straightforward
made me feel at
home
(二)赏句式之高
1.Most of their musical instruments are really just sticks found on the ground, among which there is an amazing instrument called the didgeridoo.
赏析:本句是一个主从复合句。过去分词短语found on the ground作定语,修饰sticks。among which是“介词+关系代词”引导的非限制性定语从句,先行词为 their musical instruments。高级句式的运用,使语言凝练、简洁、紧凑。
2.To play the didgeridoo, you put your mouth on one end and blow while vibrating your lips.
赏析:本句中while vibrating your lips是状语从句的省略。省略句式的运用,使得语言凝练、简洁。
①I was amazed at a lot of exciting moments, ______________ a freestyle skiing player's perfect skills and quick mind ______________
_____________ me.
我对很多激动人心的时刻感到惊讶,其中自由式滑雪运动员的完美技巧和敏捷的思维给我留下了最深刻的印象。

(三)赏描摹之韵
1.(心理描写)I can't wait to see all of them!
赏析:can't wait to do sth.“迫不及待地做某事”直接抒发了作者对去澳大利亚旅游的渴望和期待,这也为下文作者去旅游,了解异域风情做了铺垫。
2.(动作描写)A skilled player can play for a long time without stopping to breathe.He does this by continually breathing in through his nose while breathing out through his mouth and into the didgeridoo.
赏析:本段通过动作描写,详细地描述了吹奏这种独特乐器的技巧与方法。
提能训练/完成句子
①So excited was I that I ____________________ the watchtower.
我太激动了,以至于迫不及待地登上了瞭望塔。

The Eiffel Tower
What makes the Eiffel Tower an appealing landmark to visit?
A Dream Come True
Over 125 years ago, four men had a wild idea.They wanted to build the tallest structure in the world — one that would measure 300 meters (984 ft) in height.They planned to build it out of more than 18,000 pieces of metal and use 2.5 million metal pins, called rivets (铆钉),
①
to hold the pieces together.The four men claimed that their structure would be both attractive and strong enough to stay standing in high winds.Many people thought their dream was impossible, and others said that the structure would look ridiculous.That structure was neither impossible nor ridiculous.Today, it's one of the best-known and most-loved landmarks in the world.It's the Eiffel Tower.
②
Standing Tall
When the Eiffel Tower was finished in 1889, it was the tallest structure ever built.That record stood until 1930, when New York's Chrysler Building surpassed it.Since then, a handful of other buildings have claimed that honor.Even so, the Eiffel Tower is quite remarkable.Four gigantic support beams, which make up the legs, gently curve toward each other to form a single tower at the top.The metal is wrought iron,
③
which is very strong yet easy to shape.Workers paint the Eiffel Tower every seven years.The tower's color has changed from dark red to dark yellow to brown and most recently to bronze.
Towering Above Paris
The Eiffel Tower is in Paris, the capital of France.It was built for the 1889 World's Fair, which marked the hundredth anniversary of the French Revolution.The tower is on the south bank of Seine ( SEN )
④
River at one end of a large park called the Champ de Mars (sham duh
MARS).People come from around the world to enjoy the huge landmark as well as many nearby attractions.Art and culture surround the Eiffel Tower.That part of Paris has museums, gardens, fountains, ponds, palaces, monuments, and cultural centers.Upscale hotels, restaurants, and stores are also found in the area.Old and new blend together, and the Eiffel Tower rises above it all.

Going against the tide of flocking to well-known tourist destinations on vacation, a growing number of holidaymakers in China tend to spend their leisure time at lesser-known tourist attractions.Reverse tourism (逆向旅游) has appeared as a new trend among young holidaymakers in China.
According to data from an online travel agency,the number of rooms booked at hotels in less-traveled cities during the holiday was up 30 percent year on year.Bookings for four-star or five-star hotels in less-traveled places all increased at least 10 times.Some lesser-known scenic spots posted double-digit growth during the holiday such as Baimaiquan Park in Jinan,the capital of Shandong Province.
Besides crowds, some vacationers chose less-traveled places to save money on trips to popular destinations.In addition, lesser-known attractions are not as “commercial” as developed ones and are able to offer more actual experiences and natural ncounters.Essentially
speaking, total relaxation is becoming a real expectation for many people when they travel.Changes in demand may be the fundamental reason for the popularity of reverse tourism.
“The rise of reverse tourism is not a bad thing,” said Zheng zhou Daily.It means that vacationers now have more options, which brings more possibilities to the tourism market.More importantly, it noted, the trend is set to force popular destinations to improve themselves instead of resting on their past honor.
Jiang Han, a senior researcher, said that reverse tourism will become one of the future directions for the market.To give a real boost to the tourism market, Jiang suggested that more efforts be made to
tap the potential of underrated (被低估了的), lesser-known destinations.It is necessary to dig deeper into the local customs and highlight the local characteristics to improve the quality of local tourism.
