寻找主题句概括大意
解答段落大意题,最关键的是要找到段落主题句。段落主题句常出现在段首或段尾,一般段内层次较为分明,多采用“总—分”或“分—总”结构。但有时主题句会出现在段落的中间,这时段落结构一般是:细节—主题—细节。另外,特别关注段落内起过渡作用的词汇,如however, but, and, also, for example, in conclusion, on the contrary等。本文第四段是“总—分”结构,段落主题句在段首,由此可知答案。
5.What's the attitude to the space exploration according to the author?
A.Supportive. B.Neutral.
C.Objective. D.Negative.
答案:1~5 BCBDA
(二)阅读表达
1.What can we benefit from future discoveries?
We_can_survive_well_into_the_future.
2.Why is China's space industry developing so fast?
Because_of_China's_rapid_economic_development_and_the_strengthening_of_scientific_research_exchanges,_as_well_as_the_efforts_of_the_vast_number_of_scientific_research_workers.
3.What does the title “SPACE: THE FINAL FRONTIER” mean to you?
While_I_support_space_exploration,_I_don't_think_space_is_the_final_frontier_just_yet.There_is_still_much_to_learn_about_the_Earth,_and_we_are_only_at_the_very_beginning_of_the_new_technological_breakthroughs_involving_information_technology_and_AI.There_are_many_scientific_and_technological_frontiers_all_around_us.
|阅|读|技|能|提|升| 厘清说明顺序,把握说明对象
本文为科普文,按照时间顺序简要介绍了人类探索太空的历史。首先以问题的形式开头,吸引读者一探究竟。然后以时间线索娓娓道来,这有助于学生将碎片化的信息结构化、清晰化,使文章的内容更有张力。文章通过举例说明了美国和苏联在太空探索领域取得的成就,随后运用举例子和列数字等科普文常见的写作手法,详细、准确地介绍了太空探索之路上的艰险及中国的太空探索计划虽然起步较晚,但发展迅速,成就显著。
科普文章与科学论文之间最大的区别是受众不同,科普文的核心目标在于既要抓住科学方法和科学事实,又要保持语言通俗易懂。
(一)赏标题之美
本文的标题是“SPACE: THE FINAL FRONTIER”。final frontier 意为“最后的边境”,它带给读者无限的遐想——是地球的边境还是宇宙的边境?一个好的标题能起到画龙点睛的作用。该标题简洁且引人注目,能够吸引读者的兴趣,使读者迫切地想读下去,一探究竟。
(二)赏用词之妙
1.Over eight years later, on 20 July 1969, American astronaut Neil Armstrong stepped onto the moon, famously saying, “That's one small step for [a] man, one giant leap for mankind.”
赏析:stepped突出了人类终于真真实实地踏上月球,并突出强调了步伐的踏实、坚定有力; giant leap突出了人类进入太空在以前是不敢期望的,现在终于实现了,是一个大的进步、质的飞跃。
2.However, while such disasters brought much sadness and disappointment, the desire to explore the universe did not die.
赏析:句中die一词用得非常确切,表明了科学家探索宇宙的渴望永不磨灭,有强烈的感情色彩。
提能训练
①(完成句子)The door opened and Jim stepped_in and closed it.
门开了,杰姆迈步进来并随手关上。
②(完成句子)The result has been a_giant_leap in productivity.
其结果是生产力的大幅提高。
③(翻译句子)Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken winged bird that cannot fly.
紧紧抓住梦想,因为一旦梦想消亡,生活就像折断翅膀的小鸟,无法飞翔。
(三)赏句式之高
1.China became the third country in the world to independently send humans into space in 2003, when Yang Liwei successfully orbited Earth in the Shenzhou 5 spacecraft.
赏析:本句为复合句。when引导非限制性定语从句,对2003年进行补充说明;to independently send humans into space是不定式作后置定语修饰country。该句概括地介绍了中国成为世界上第三个独立将人类送入太空的国家的情况。
2.Despite the difficulties, scientists hope to make more valuable discoveries that will enable the human race to survive well into the future.
赏析:Despite the difficulties作状语,表明了太空探索困难重重。主句中hope后接不定式作宾语,其中包含一个that引导的定语从句,修饰先行词discoveries。本句突出了太空探索的重要性,以及科学家们对太空探索的前景充满希望并继续探索太空的坚定信念。
提能训练/完成句子
①I always remember the day when_we_first_met,_and it was a sunny afternoon in the park.
我永远记得我们第一次相遇的那一天,那是一个阳光明媚的下午,在公园里。
②Despite_the_difficulties_that_we_faced,_we managed to successfully complete the project on time.
尽管我们面临困难,但我们还是设法按时成功地完成了这个项目。
(四)赏衔接之顺
Before the mid-20th century, most people felt travelling into space was only a dream that could never come true.However, scientists were determined to realise that dream ... Afterwards, the USSR focused on sending people into space ... Over eight years later, on 20 July 1969, American astronaut Neil Armstrong stepped onto the moon ...
赏析:本段文字中使用了表示时间的衔接性词语,如Before the mid-20th century, Afterwards, Over eight years later 等,使得文章流畅、连贯,层次清晰。
提能训练/补全语段
①Before_the_mid-20th_century (在20世纪中叶之前), the use of computers was limited to large institutions and government organizations. ②Afterwards(之后), technological advancements revolutionized the accessibility and functionality of computers, making them an essential tool in various industries.
③Over_ten_years_later (十多年以后), smartphones emerged as a dominant force in the technology market, transforming the way we communicate and access information.
探索是我们的天性。从人类在地球上生命的早期开始,我们对未知的好奇心就驱使我们去探索新的地方。我们渴望探索茂密的原始森林、攀登巍峨的山脉、穿越深邃的海洋以及揭秘遥远的太空。我们渴望探索所有空间的最远边界。了解太空探索的原因,有助于帮助学生了解人类在太空探索事业上的进程和贡献,从而树立远大志向,刻苦学习,为未来的科技事业贡献自己的力量。
Why we explore
In 1969, when Neil Armstrong first landed on the Moon, many people thought that soon we would be regularly visiting other planets in our solar system and would even dare to travel beyond it.This is clearly not the case.The reality is that space exploration is extremely difficult and dangerous, can take a very long time and costs a huge amount of money.Some people believe that while space exploration expands our understanding of the universe, it is a waste of the public purse and does nothing to enhance the quality of our lives here on the Earth. Why do we continue to explore space, then?
It is in our nature to explore.From the very early days of human life on the Earth,our curiosity about the unknown has kept us adventuring into new places.We long to visit thick and wild forests, climb vast mountain ranges, and cross deep oceans.We desire to explore the furthest frontier of all — space.As Stephen Hawking once said, “Remember to look up at the stars and not down at your feet.. Be curious.” That we are fascinated by the sky is evident in ancient tales from around the world, such as that of Chang'e.While space exploration is a reality, we remain curious about the mysteries of the universe.With each space mission comes greater insight, thus motivating us to continue.
The results of these space investigations have made major contributions to an understanding of the origin, evolution, and likely future of the universe, such as planets, stars, and all other forms of matter and energy.Exploring space helps address fundamental questions about our place in the universe and the history of our solar system. confirmed that the Earth is round and that it orbits the Sun. As we learn more about the universe, we may one day answer the question whether there is life on other planets.
With technologies first researched and developed for space exploration, we can solve some of the big problems facing mankind, making our lives safer and easier.One of these is earthquake shock absorbers. Shock absorbers originally applied to the space shuttle launch have also been set up in the cities with a high frequency of earthquakes in order to protect buildings and save lives.Some technologies need further research to better solve real-life problems.For example, liquid hydrogen is a clean alternative energy source that is used widely as rocket fuel, and it is likely that hydrogen fuel mass-produced and launched in the near future. These scientific and technological advances can provide benefits to societies on the Earth in many areas including health, energy and information technology.This should be a strong motive for continuing to explore space.
Although space exploration demands huge investment, the space industry can actually bring great economic value.It has been calculated that the global space economy is increasing by billions of dollars every year.At the same time, space exploration can provide a variety of career opportunities for young people.Jobs in the space industry go far beyond the astronauts that receive widespread media coverage.There are many support staff on the ground, such as engineers, mechanics and research assistants.
Moreover, the amazing work these people do can provide education and inspiration for the next generation.For me personally, this is by far the biggest reason for humanity to explore space.Such wonders as a space shuttle launch or astronauts walking on the Moon are incredibly exciting and inspiring to witness, and it can be these moments them to become the scientists and engineers of the future. our thirst for knowledge alive and ensures that advances in space exploration and many other fields will continue to be made. When you have seen a man walk on the Moon, you grow up believing that anything is possible!
