本文的语篇类型为记叙文。文章介绍了诺曼底登陆的背景、过程和历史意义,表达了对牺牲战士的缅怀。阅读记叙文时,应注意厘清双线:明线及暗线。本文的明线为时间线,作者按照时间顺序讲述了诺曼底登陆的经过、发展和结果,阅读时注意根据时间关键词,提炼行文脉络。本文中掺杂了经历这次战争的人对战斗惨烈情况的描述和自己的感受,这是文章的暗线——情感线,阅读时注意根据相关的描述性词语总结人物的情感。

课文写法借鉴
(一)赏用词之妙
1.By spring 1944, the Second World War had been raging across the globe for about five years.
赏析:本句中raging across the globe意为“席卷全球”,用词形象,充分展示了当时形势的残酷和严峻。
2.After waiting for the perfect combination of weather, moon and tides, the date for the start of Operation Overlord was set for 6 June.
赏析:本句中perfect用词贴切,突出了准备充分,将天时、地利、人和都考虑在内的情景。
3.Meanwhile, thousands more were journeying across the English Channel to Normandy, protected by fighter planes in the skies above them.
赏析:此处的journeying为名词用作动词,形象生动地呈现了数千人穿越英吉利海峡的壮观场面。
4.By mid-morning, hundreds lay dead in the water and amongst the tanks on the beach.
赏析:此处lay在句中用作系动词,意为“躺,平卧”,后跟形容词dead作表语,形象地刻画了战争的惨烈场面。

赏析:本句中Code-named “Operation Overlord”和the aim being to free north-west Europe from German occupation分别使用过去分词短语和独立主格结构作状语,使句子简洁流畅。
2.With these words ringing in their ears, Allied soldiers prepared for what would become known as D-Day.
赏析:With these words ringing in their ears是with复合结构,用来说明背景情况,强调了艾森豪威尔将军的话在鼓舞士气方面的积极作用,烘托大战一触即发的紧张气氛。
[提能训练|完成句子]

(三)赏衔接之顺
1.Boats were hit and men drowned, while those who did make it to the beach faced heavy machine gunfire.
赏析:本句中并列连词while通过对比前后两部分的内容,呈现了一幅惨烈的动态画面:船被击翻,一些人落水而亡,而那些成功抵达海滩的人面对的则是机关枪的猛烈扫射。
2.Although each year they are fewer in number, their outstanding acts of courage mean that we will always remember them—as well as those who lost their lives on the beaches of northern France.
赏析:此处先运用衔接词although与后文形成转折关系,然后又使用了并列衔接词as well as突出“那些在法国北部海滩上阵亡的人”,强调那些诺曼底登陆日的幸存者以及阵亡者将永远被记住。衔接词的使用让句式衔接紧密,过渡自然顺畅,逻辑清晰合理。

Over forty years ago, my brother, Harvey Cooley, met a soldier, David Lawson during basic training.In their free time, they hung out together.As the weeks went by, they grew very close, almost like brothers.However, after basic training, soldiers moved on to advanced training.They thought they would never see each other again.
Five months later, these men were in the same city waiting for transport to the front.Harvey and David had an unexpected surprise when they ran into each other.They talked very briefly since they had got to report in five minutes.They agreed to meet after they were discharged (退伍) from the service.Harvey wrote a brief note which he gave to David showing the date and location they were to meet.

David never forgot Harvey. The other day, while he was searching the Internet for information about Harvey, he found a poem dedicated (献给) to Harvey by me.He sent me an email and told me about his friendship with Harvey and we swapped phone numbers.
David called me and we talked about his friendship with Harvey.While on the phone with David, I learned about the note Harvey had written for him.David still had the note and sent me a copy of it.
It is amazing, to say the least, that David was able to track me down.Even more amazing is the fact that he still had Harvey's note after all these years.David told me it was a joy to finally hear about Harvey through me after over forty years.

In the heart of the war-torn city, where buildings stood like wounded soldiers, Emma waited in line for her weekly ration. The line moved slowly, a gloomy procession of gaunt (瘦削憔悴的) faces and threadbare coats. When her turn came, the ration officer handed her the allotted food with a detached efficiency. “Two loaves, half a pound of sugar, and a tin of powdered milk,” he recited. The portions seemed to shrink each week, mirroring the increasingly slim hope in people's hearts.
Clutching her meager (少且劣质的) supplies, Emma hurried through the bombed-out streets, carefully avoiding craters and debris. The city, once vibrant and bustling, now lay in a silent surrender to scarcity and fear. At home, her family's small garden offered a sharp contrast to the desolation around. Here, amidst the rows of struggling vegetables, her father toiled.
“Dad, let me help,” Emma offered, taking the shovel from his weary hands. Together, they dug into the earth, creating a hidden cache for extra food. It was a secret they guarded fiercely, knowing that in times of shortage, even neighbours could turn against each other out of desperation.
As they worked, Emma's mind wandered to the days before the war, when food was abundant and their garden was a source of joy, not just survival. She remembered her mother's cooking, the pleasant smell that filled their kitchen, the laughter that accompanied their meals. Now, each bite of their bland rations was a reminder of what had been lost.
In the evenings, the family gathered around a small table, sharing their rationed food. Conversation flowed, weaving tales of better times, igniting sparks of hope. Emma's younger brother, Tom, would often ask, “When will we have chocolate again?” It was a question loaded with longing, not just for the sweetness of chocolate but for the return of normalcy.
Despite the hardship, they found reasons to smile. Emma's father would recount stories from his youth, tales of adventure that seemed like fairy tales in their grim surroundings. Her mother would hum old tunes, filling their home with a semblance (表象) of warmth and normalcy.
As winter deepened, the rations grew scarcer, and the hidden cache in the garden became their lifeline. Each day, Emma and her father would check the hole, ensuring their precious supplies were safe. The hole, a mere cavity in the ground, symbolized their resilience, a refusal to give in to despair.
语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了饱受战争蹂躏的艾玛一家的生存状态以及对未来的憧憬。

C.A secret food storage spot.
D.A mysterious box.
解析:词句猜测题。根据第三段“Together, they dug into the earth”和最后一段“Each day, Emma and her father would check the hole, ensuring their precious supplies were safe.”可知,他们一起挖地,挖出了一个隐秘的贮藏处,以获取额外的食物。
√
7.Which of the following is true according to the fifth paragraph?
A.Abundant food shows the war has unexpectedly brought prosperity to their family.
B.The family's conversations about a war-free future reflect their enduring hope.
C.Meals at the table are silent and rushed, highlighting their fear and anxiety.
D.The table becomes a place of conflict where family members argue over limited food.
解析:推理判断题。根据第五段“In the evenings, the family gathered around a small table, sharing their rationed food. Conversation flowed, weaving tales of better times, igniting sparks of hope.”可知,这家人在餐桌上会憧憬一下不再有战争的日子,这是他们内心长久以来的渴望。
√
8.Tom's longing for chocolate is symbolic in the story. What does this longing represent?
A.It's a simple thirst for a treat, unrelated to the broader themes of the story.
B.The desire for chocolate symbolizes a yearning for the comforts of life before the war.
C.His wish for chocolate indicates his dislike for the food rationing and nothing more.
D.It is a secret code used by the family to communicate about their hidden food.
解析:推理判断题。根据第五段“Emma's younger brother, Tom, would often ask, ‘When will we have chocolate again?’ It was a question loaded with longing, not just for the sweetness of chocolate but for the return of normalcy.”可知,对巧克力的渴望象征着对战前舒适生活、对没有战争的正常生活的向往。
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
Peace is a precious blessing. In peaceful times, schools thrive, families stay united, and cultures flourish. However, war ruins everything. 9 They leave us a terrifying and unforgettable impression.
Understanding war and peace connects to our sense of responsibility. Peace teaches us the happiness of being alive. 10 We can take part in school-based peace-promotion activities, like themed debates or charity events for war-affected regions. By doing so, we spread the message of peace and learn to empathize with those suffering.
History is a mirror. Studying past wars, such as World WarⅡ, shows us the horrors of aggression and the power of unity in seeking peace. 11 We learn that peace isn't just the absence of war but a state of mutual respect, cooperation, and understanding among nations.
12 On one hand, advanced weapons in war cause greater damage. On the other hand, the Internet spreads peace-related ideas rapidly. It enables us to connect with global youth who share the same vision of peace.
Yet, challenges exist. Misunderstandings between countries, resource conflicts, and ethnic tensions still threaten peace. 13 Our small effort, from promoting cultural exchanges to learning foreign languages for better communication, contributes to building a more peaceful world.
A.Technology adds new dimensions.
B.Peace-building is time-consuming and complex.
C.It's our duty to pass on the value of peace to the next generation.
D.Meanwhile, war teaches us the fragility of peace and the need to safeguard it.
E.The images of war-torn areas often shown in the media are heart-breaking.
F.We should also reflect on how to prevent history's tragedies from repeating.
G.As young people, we should stay informed, think critically, and voice our support for peaceful solutions.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了和平的重要性,呼吁人们尽己所能、建立一个更加和平的世界。
9.选E 根据下文“They leave us a terrifying and unforgettable impression.”可知,“They”指代前文提到的事物,需与“令人恐惧的印象”相关。上文提及“战争毁了一切”,选项E中的“images”与下句“They”形成指代关系,且“战争摧残地区的画面”符合战争危害的语境。故E选项符合语境。
10.选G 根据下文“We can take part in school-based peace-promotion activities”可知,下文列举了具体行动,需与上文“和平让我们懂得活着的幸福”衔接,说明“我们应如何做”。选项G提出年轻人的行动方向,与下文“参加学校活动”形成递进关系。故G选项符合语境。
11.选F 根据上文“Studying past wars ... the power of unity”可知,上文强调研究历史战争的意义,下文提到“和平不仅是没有战争,更是国家间的尊重与合作”。选项F通过“also”承接上文,提出“反思如何避免历史悲剧”,与下文对和平的深层理解形成逻辑衔接。故F选项符合语境。
12.选A 根据下文“On one hand ... spreads peace-related ideas rapidly”可知,下文从正反两面阐述科技对战争与和平的影响。选项A可以作为主题句,直接点明“科技”这一核心话题,与下文“武器”和“互联网”的具体例子构成总分结构。故A选项符合语境。
13.选B 根据上文“Misunderstandings ... resource conflicts ... still threaten peace.”可知,上文列举和平面临的挑战,下文提到“我们的小小努力也能为和平做贡献”。选项B承认和平建设的复杂性,为下文“即使小努力也有价值”提供逻辑铺垫,形成“挑战—应对”的衔接。故B选项符合语境。
