写作技法指导
(一)品参考范文
In 2015, for the first time, a Chinese scientist won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine. She is Tu Youyou.
Born in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province on 30 December 1930, Tu Youyou studied at Beijing Medical College (now Peking University Health Science Centre) from 1951 to 1955. Since 1955, she has worked at China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences as a tenured and chief researcher. In 1969, she worked as the leader of a research
team aiming to discover a treatment for malaria. By 1972, she had managed to extract qinghaosu from a Chinese herb, which is very effective in fighting malaria. Fourteen years later, she obtained a New Drug Certificate for qinghaosu, issued by the Ministry of Health of China. Because of her great contribution, she was presented with the Nobel Prize at the age of 85.In 2019, she was also nominated for “The Greatest Person of the 20th Century”.
Not only has she saved many people suffering from malaria, but also she has proved the effectiveness of Chinese herbs. Furthermore, she is admired because she devotes most of her time and energy to medical research.
(二) 根据参考范文,可总结出该类文体的框架结构
(三)由范文学写作
1.学行文逻辑
范文的第一段开门见山,通过叙述屠呦呦的主要成就(for the first time, a Chinese scientist won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine),对其进行总体介绍,以引起读者的关注;第二段为主体部分,以屠呦呦为中心组织材料,按时间顺序介绍其出生、教育背景、工作经历以及突出贡献等;第三段为结尾部分,对屠呦呦进行评价,主要从所带来的影响或给人们的启示等方面进行展开。
2.学衔接过渡
范文采用倒叙法,按照时间、空间和逻辑顺序介绍屠呦呦的生平事迹,增加了文本的连贯性,使表达更加顺畅紧凑。
(1)首段使用时间状语In 2015,先对屠呦呦的主要成就进行简单介绍。
(2)第二段中使用了时间副词短语:on 30 December 1930, from 1951 to 1955, Since 1955, In 1969, By 1972, at the age of 85和In 2019。使用了表示空间的名词短语:Ningbo, Zhejiang Province, Beijing Medical College (now Peking University Health Science Centre), China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences。表示因果关系的短语Because of her great contribution也增加了语言的连贯性和准确性。
(3)第三段进行评论,使用并列连词Not only ...but also ...进行过渡,接着下文中使用过渡语Furthermore,层次分明地多角度概括屠呦呦的贡献,并升华了其思想、品德和情操
3.学亮点表达
(1)首段使用了设置悬念的表达手法,让读者立刻对这位传记的主角产生了兴趣。
(2)第二段首句使用过去分词短语Born in Ningbo, Zhejiang Province on 30 December 1930作状语;第三句使用现在分词短语aiming to discover a treatment for malaria作定语,使语言表达更高级;第四句使用非限制性定语从句which is very effective in fighting malaria,不但从侧面凸显了屠呦呦的贡献,也增加了语言表达的层次性。
(3)尾段首句使用Not only ...but also ...的部分倒装句,从治病救人和国家荣誉两个角度描述了屠呦呦的贡献。

Ⅲ.读后续写(15分)
阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
From the first day he entered my classroom, Willard P.Frank existed in his own world, shutting out his classmates and me. My attempts at building a friendly relationship with him were met with complete indifference. I could see that his classmates fared no better. Willard was strictly a loner who seemed to have no desire or need to break his silence.
Shortly after the Thanksgiving holiday, we received word of the annual Christmas collection of money for the less fortunate people in our school district.
“Christmas is a season of giving,” I told my students. “There are a few students in the school who might not have a happy holiday season. By contributing to our Christmas collection, you will help buy food, clothing and toys for these needy people. We will start the collection tomorrow.”
When I called for the contributions the next day, I discovered that almost everyone had forgotten except for Willard P.Frank. The boy dug deep into his pants pockets as he walked slowly to my desk. Carefully, he dropped two quarters into the small container.
“I don't need milk for lunch,” he mumbled. For a moment, just a moment, he smiled. Then he turned and walked back to his desk.
That night, after school, I took our few contributions to the school principal. I couldn't help sharing the incident that had taken place.
“I may be wrong, but I believe Willard might be getting ready to become a part of the world around him,” I told the principal.
“Yes,” he nodded. “And we might do well to have him share a bit of his world with us. I just received a list of the poor families in our school who most need help through the Christmas collection. Here, take a look at it.”
As I gazed down to read, I discovered Willard P.Frank and his family were the top names on the list. Seeing this, I decided to do something for him.
(根据前文和段首的句子可知续写的线索为:我看到Willard家里的窘迫→我询问了Willard的家人→我了解了Willard捐赠的原因→我分享Willard的故事给同学们→同学们夸赞Willard→Willard露出了微笑,打破了沉默。要求逻辑通顺,情节合理。词数80左右。)
On that Sunday, I paid a visit to Willard's family. ______________
________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
参考范文:
On that Sunday, I paid a visit to Willard's family. On entering his house, I was surprised to find a barely empty room with only a broken bed and a dirty second hand sofa. When asked why he had given the two quarters, Willard mumbled, “There are people poorer than me, so I just want to do some help by contributing my milk money.” Hearing his words, I couldn't help bursting into tears. I thought I should help him break his silence. The next day, I shared his story with the whole class. After a silence, all the students clapped, saying “Willard, you are great!” They walked slowly to him and hugged him tightly. A friend relationship was built and Willard's silence was broken by a smile on his face.
二、阅读拓展训练
阅读七选五
We youngsters believe that our responsibilities to the country begin only when we enter the workforce. This is because we consider ourselves as helpless to do anything at that time. 1
Raise awareness of important social issues in the country. The voice of the young can make itself heard in areas like education, pollution and health care. These are issues that directly influence our lives and should be taken notice of by us. 2
Support the community by actively participating in volunteering. Volunteers are always needed to assist old people's homes and other charity organizations. 3 Simple things like cleaning the house, entertaining or listening to the elderly, or making voice recordings for the visually disabled are all within our reach and far more significant than shopping or hanging out at shopping malls.
Participate in various activities that promote our environment. Planting new plants and trees to minimize pollution and create a clean environment in which to live. 4 Using one-off materials, such as plastic bags and lunch boxes, also causes burden to nature. We should avoid these and many other similar behaviors if we want to see a better environment.
5 There are many things we cannot do right now, such as influencing public policies, but we may prepare ourselves to be ready when the time comes for us to contribute. A significant amount of time and money has been invested in developing us as young leaders of the future, and we must not ignore our responsibilities. In the end, taking on our responsibilities to our society is a big step in helping to improve life in our country.
A.Get well prepared for any possibilities.
B.Invest time and money to ensure a better future.
C.Other efficient strategies include not littering in the streets.
D.As a result, we postpone any duty until we enter the workplace.
E.But we should realize that there are roles we may play at the moment.
F.Thus, by providing our services regularly, we are promoting a caring culture.
G.By showing that we care about our society, we can better ourselves and our country.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要讲述了年轻人应该为社会承担的责任。
1.选E 上文提出了作者认为不正确的观点“我们认为责任始于参加工作”,并给出了原因,空处承接上文引出作者自己的、相反的看法——年轻人并不是做不出什么贡献,年轻人对社会也有用,也有需要承担的责任,与上文构成转折关系。故选E。
2.选G 上文“Raise awareness of important social issues ...should be taken notice of by us.”说明年轻人对社会问题的关心是有作用的,选项G“通过展示出我们对社会的关心,我们可以让自己和国家变得更好。”承接上文,进一步说明了年轻人关心社会问题的作用,可以让自己和国家变得更好。故选G。
3.选F 上文“Support the community by actively participating in volunteering. Volunteers are always needed to assist old people's homes and other charity organizations.”建议我们参加志愿服务,帮助老年人和其他需要帮助的人,选项F“因此,通过定期提供服务,我们在提倡关怀文化。”承接上文,说明了年轻人去当志愿者的作用。F项中“providing our services”与上文中“volunteering”相呼应。故选F。
4.选C 上文“Participate in various activities that promote our environment. Planting new plants and trees to minimize pollution and create a clean environment in which to live.”说明,我们可以通过参加各种活动来创造干净的生活环境。选项C“其他有效的策略包括不在街上乱扔垃圾。”承接上文,是创造干净环境的一种方法。故选C。
5.选A 下文“There are many things we cannot do right now, such as influencing public policies, but we may prepare ourselves to be ready when the time comes for us to contribute.”说明,虽然有些事情年轻人现在不能做,但可以为将来做好准备。选项A“为各种可能性做好充分准备。”概括本段主要内容,可作为小标题,故选A。
