课文写法借鉴
(一)赏用词之妙
1.Once when I was six years old I saw a magnificent picture in a book, called True Stories from Nature, about the primeval forest.
赏析:本句中使用了magnificent一词修饰作者所看到的图画,传达了作者当时的震撼心情。
2.Grown-ups never understand anything by themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them.
赏析:此处运用never, tiresome, always等富含感情色彩的词汇,以孩子的语气描述了成年人与儿童在理解事物方面的差异,幽默地表达了儿童的无奈,启发读者要学会保护自己的纯真。
[提能训练|完成句子]
①_________________________________ demonstrate the great intelligence of the labouring people.
这些壮丽的古代建筑显示了劳动人民的聪明才智。
②I think _______________________________________ through the screen of a smart phone.
我认为对你们来说,总是通过手机屏幕来看世界也是很令人厌倦的。
These magnificent ancient buildings
it is tiresome for you to always view the world
(二)赏修辞之功
1.In the course of this life, I have had a great many encounters with a great many people who have been concerned with matters of consequence.
赏析:本句中使用了重复的修辞手法——句中两次使用a great many,突出强调了数量之多,为后文作者表述自己的观点埋下了伏笔。
2.I would bring myself down to his level.I would talk to him about bridge, and golf, and politics, and neckties.And the grown-up would be greatly pleased to have met such a sensible man.
赏析:此处使用了反讽的修辞手法,表示成年人根本不懂儿童的世界,他们只是故作聪明罢了。反讽指正话反说或反话正说,如在指责过失、错误时,用赞美的词,旨在达到调侃、批评或讽刺的目的。反讽的表达方式具有生动、形象、幽默、诙谐的特点。
[提能训练|完成句子]
①(反讽)“_______________________”said Helen angrily.
“你多么无私啊!”海伦愤怒地说。
②(重复)Now is the time to forget everything in the past. ________
_____________________ the business.____________________________ for the future.
现在是忘掉过去一切的时候了。现在是言归正传的时候了。现在是为未来而努力工作的时候了。
How unselfish you are!

the time to get down to
Now is the time to work hard

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
When 12 girls from San Fernando high school in California received a grant (助学金) to develop an invention to solve a real-world problem, they decided to create a solar-powered shelter.Now for over a year, the girls have been working after school and over the winter and spring breaks to complete their project.“They have this amazing drive that I've never seen before, ” said Violet Mardirosian, a math teacher at San Fernando High.“I thought at the beginning that maybe some of them would give up, saying ‘I didn't expect this much work’, but they don't.They're just working hard and they're not giving up.”
Living in a low-income community, the girls have seen the problem of homelessness first-hand, which is why they chose that population to create a product for.Many of them are also from immigrant families and hope the solar-powered shelter might help refugees (难民).Seventeen-year-old Maggie Mejia said that while she had no engineering experience, the girls figured out as a team how to create the prototype (雏形), using how-to videos and books that taught them how to code.But the most important lesson she's learned over the course of the project isn't technical.“I've learned a lot about helping others, helping the community and showing a better world to other people,” she said.
The girls have been invited to MIT to show their invention.Mardirosian says all the participating students have expressed interest in going into STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) fields and that students from lower grades are already expressing interest in being involved next year.She says, “Many of them didn't think about engineering before.They thought maybe they're not made out to be an engineer.But working together, now they realize they're all needed in this field.Everyone has found their importance in this picture.”
语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。加州圣费尔南多高中的12名女孩获得一项助学金后,决定建立一个太阳能避难所。文章介绍了她们进行该项目的原因和感受。
1.Why did Mardirosian think some girls would quit the subject?

We often hear such statements: “I spilled juice, but it wasn't my fault.”“I got in trouble at school, but it wasn't my fault.” or “I was in a car accident, but it wasn't my fault.” That “It's not my fault” is a natural response for so many people, especially teenagers.
Parents complain they are tired of the “excuse”.The reason why variations of “It's not my fault” are so popular is that it lets us off the hook with guilt and blame.I'm a fan of not taking responsibility for things that I can't control.Teens who often say “It's my fault” when something bad happens tend to be highly self-critical and much easier to be troubled by anxiety and depression.
While it is important to recognize lack of reason to blame oneself, many teens often rely on “It's not my fault”.When trying to get them to take responsibility, some parents usually attempt to convince their teens that something is their fault.The approach tends to be ineffective and turn into a power struggle.No one wins.A more effective approach can be to stress significant drawbacks to consistently focusing on removing our responsibility with this phrase.
Overuse of the phrase can result in feelings of lack of ability to control their own lives.This sense has been shown to cause low motivation.Besides creating feelings of lack of ability, overuse of “It's not my fault” focuses a teen's attention on what is done as opposed to what needs to be done.
People may not have caused all their problems but they have to solve them anyway.The example I frequently share with teens is the question of what one will do if he is pushed into a deep lake.One can certainly stay in water, yelling, “It's not my fault.” However, that won't get him out of water.He needs to swim to the shore, regardless of the fault.
If you take a proper approach to communicating with your teens, you can help them avoid dependence on “It's not my fault”.
语篇解读:本文是一篇议论文。针对青少年经常说“不是我的错”这一现象,作者分析了其原因、危害及父母应该如何引导孩子承担责任。
5.What phenomenon is described in paragraph 1?
A.The teenagers' dislike for school life.
B.The common trouble faced by teenagers.
C.The reasons for blaming others for accidents.
D.The tendency to be irresponsible for the mess in life.
解析:推理判断题。根据第一段内容可知,作者通过列举生活中的例子来说明,“不是我的错”是很多人尤其是青少年的普遍反应。由此可推知,第一段主要描述了人们在生活中出现麻烦时往往推脱自己的责任。
√
6.What type of teens tends to suffer great mental pressure?
A.Those allowing others to find excuses.
B.Those lacking confidence and ambition.
C.Those unable to get along well with others.
D.Those often blaming themselves for incidents.
解析:细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句可知,那些总是把责任往自己身上揽,指责自己的人更容易产生心理压力。
√
7.What's the author's attitude to some parents' usual way of guiding children?
A.Negative. B.Supportive.
C.Ambiguous. D.Neutral.
解析:观点态度题。根据第三段中的“The approach tends to be ineffective and turn into a power struggle.”可知,作者不赞同一些父母平常引导孩子的做法。
√
8.What can we learn from the passage?
A.We should avoid troubling others.
B.We should focus on how to solve problems.
C.We should dare to point out others' mistakes.
D.We should be self-critical as much as possible.
解析:推理判断题。根据倒数第二段中的“People may not have caused all their problems but they have to solve them anyway.”可知,我们应该将注意力放在如何解决问题上。

Ⅱ.阅读七选五
Every kid wishes to be an adult.Do you remember playing house as a child — pretending to be a grown-up like your parents? Did you imagine you were a doctor, a soldier or a teacher? At that time, anything seemed more exciting than being young. 9 They become “kidults” (kid + adult), who participate in the culture and activities traditionally intended for children.
Some kidults collect toys they once played with. 10 It is not unusual to see a 20-something woman with a big, Snoopy-shaped cushion (坐垫) on her sofa or a Hello Kitty mobile phone accessory.
11 For example, Bloomsbury even published some novels with an adult cover.That way, no one else on the subway will know that an adult is actually reading a children's book!
“Kidults can be like vitamins to society.Adults who value their childhood and hold on to pure, childlike emotion may be needed in such a rough and dry society,” said Lee Sojung, a professor at Hankuk University of Foreign Studies. 12 It could give children and their parents books, movies, and cartoon shows to enjoy together.He may be right.
Tim Greenhalgh, a professor in London explained that some kidults just refused to grow up. 13 Kidults would like to forget their age and openly show their fear of society and adulthood.“So, they can escape from increasingly complex and stressful lives that are hard to deal with,” Greenhalgh said...
A.Other kidults still enjoy children's stories and fairy tales.
B.But now some adults find they cannot leave childhood behind.
C.And some adults often run into the problem of finding a good job.
D.They do so because life in a busy and stressful city frightens them.
E.Hello Kitty, Garfield, and Snoopy have many adult fans around the world.
F.They may not be great parents as well as able to take on adult responsibilities.
G.He added that kidult culture may fill the generation gap between adults and kids.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文中讲到每个孩子都希望长大成人,但现在一些成年人却无法完全抛下童年的记忆。有专家认为成年人拥有童年情结是很有必要的。
9.选B 根据下文可知,此处描述很多成年人依然童心未泯,依然参与童年的一些活动。由此可知,选项B(但是现在一些成年人发现他们想要重温童年)符合语境。
10.选E 根据上文可知,空处所填会继续围绕成年人收集他们曾经玩过的玩具这一段落主题句展开。由此可知,选项E(凯蒂猫、加菲猫和史努比在世界各地都有许多成年粉丝)与本段首句的话题一致且衔接下文。
11.选A 空处是本段的主题句。下文以举例的方式说明有些成年人喜欢读儿童读物的现象,故空处应与此处话题一致。由此可知,选项A(另一些成年人仍然喜欢儿童故事和童话故事)与上述分析一致。
12.选G 上文引用专家的话来说明我们可能需要珍视有孩童般情感的成年人这一观点,故空处应继续这一话题。由此可知,选项G(他补充说,童心未泯的成年人文化可能会填补成年人和孩子之间的代沟)符合语境。G项中的主语“He”指代前文中的这位教授,此处为教授对自己观点的补充说明。
13.选D 由上文可知,空处将继续展开一些成年人拒绝长大这一话题。由此可知,选项D(他们这样做是因为繁忙和紧张的城市生活让他们感到害怕)符合语境。选项D与上文话题一致且能自然地衔接下文。
