厘脉络,明主旨
本文是说明文,介绍了中国从古至今的海洋探索历程。文章脉络清晰,逐层推进。作者用一条时间线贯穿全文,从早期的航海探索到明代郑和下西洋,再到现代的“一带一路”和中国海洋科考,最后表达了对未来的展望。阅读时注意从各段首句中标记出关键词汇,梳理出时间线索,从而更好地把握文章的主旨。
(一)赏用词之妙
1.Trade and curiosity have often formed the foundation of mankind's greatest achievements.
赏析:curiosity与trade搭配,共同构成人类取得伟大成就的基石,为下文人类探索海洋指明原因。此处curiosity为名词,意为“求知欲;好奇心”。
2.These fleets were a sight to behold and were in a league of their own at that time.
赏析:作者使用sight一词形象地描绘了郑和带领的七支大型船队浩浩荡荡出行的壮观景象,同时也突出了人类通过海洋传播文化的历史事实。a sight to behold意为“壮观的景象”。此处sight为名词,意为“景象;情景;视野;视觉”,其同义词有view, scenery等。
提能训练
①(单句语法填空)The moment I was back home, curiosity (curious)drove me to unwrapped the delicately-packed present.
②(词汇升级)The sunrise at the seaside was well worth seeing.quite a sight to behold
(二)赏句式之高
1.Here, merchants from China and many other places met to negotiate trade deals, which also led to more awareness of each other's cultures.
赏析:此句是主从复合句。句中to negotiate trade deals是动词不定式短语作目的状语;which引导非限制性定语从句。 该句描述了中国商人和其他许多地方的商人汇聚一起的盛况。
2.The ancient sea routes travelled by Zheng He are being revisited with the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road, which is part of the Belt and Road Initiative.
赏析:此句是主从复合句。句中travelled by Zheng He是过去分词短语作后置定语,修饰The ancient sea routes;which引导非限制性定语从句,修饰先行词the 21st Century Maritime Silk Road。该句介绍了“21世纪海上丝绸之路”的发展。
提能训练/完成句子
①To explore the mysteries of the ocean, scientists have made great efforts, which has led to many discoveries.
为了探索海洋的奥秘,科学家们付出了巨大的努力,这带来了许多发现。
②The damaged ships, found at the bottom of the ocean, tell stories of past voyages, which fascinate researchers.
在海底发现的受损船只讲述着过去航行的故事,这些故事让研究人员着迷。
(三)赏衔接之顺
Trade and curiosity have often formed the foundation of mankind's greatest achievements.To complete the great map of the world was a strong passion for the people of early civilisations.Marco Polo's tales inspired European explorers to search for sea routes from west to east.However, merchants and explorers from the East set sail from east to west many years before Columbus first did.
赏析:本段表明贸易往来和对世界的好奇心驱使着人类探索未知的世界,列举了马可·波罗、哥伦布等知名的西方航海家。接着用“However”话锋一转,提到了更早之前,东方就有向西方航行的探险活动,由此引出中国的海洋探索历史。

The next day, I went to Jenny's house.Before the speech, however, I changed my mind.
第二天,我去了珍妮家。然而,就在演讲之前,我改变了主意。

DIVING DEEP
Lying under waters across the globe are an estimated three million shipwrecks.All of them represent attempts over the centuries to explore Earth's furthest corners.Among these is the Esmeralda, the earliest wreck from the age of the European exploration of Asia.Today, some 500 years after the Esmeralda set sail, there is little — if any — land on our planet left unexplored.We have more detailed maps of the Moon, and even of Venus and Mars, than we do of Earth's own sea bed.
Given our limited knowledge, exploration of the oceans continues to lead to discoveries in various scientific fields.As with the discovery of the Esmeralda, many archaeological finds are made in shallow waters near the coast.These may sometimes include whole cities buried beneath the waves.One such find is the ancient Roman city of Neápolis, discovered off the coast of Tunisia.Believed to have been buried underwater by a tsunami in the fourth century AD, the ruins of Neápolis are almost 2,000 years old.The remaining streets and buildings offer a window into a fascinating period in our history.However, we are only beginning to overcome the challenges of pressure, darkness and extreme cold at vast depths.Fragments of the past lying deep beneath the oceans are still waiting to be discovered.
Amazing biological discoveries are also being made.The dark zones of the oceans may contain up to 90 per cent of the planet's fish.In these waters, more than 200 metres deep, are extraordinary creatures that appear Imagine bone-white coral 6,000 metres below the ocean's surface, growing at the rate of only one or two millimetres per year.Some of these could be 4,000 years old.Swimming through these black depths is the barreleye, a strange fish with eyes that can look upwards through its transparent forehead.In the very deepest ocean trenches that are more than 8,000 metres below the surface, the pressure is equivalent to 50 aeroplanes stacked one on top of another.Yet there is still life to be found, even around the deep-sea volcanic openings.These discoveries all help us understand the capacity for life on our planet, even in the most extreme circumstances.
Furthermore, the oceans are a valuable source of natural resources, some of which are completely new to us.Most notable of these is China's discovery of an ice-like substance, known as “fire ice”, under the South China Sea.In addition, China's underwater vessels, such as the Jiaolong and Shenhai Yongshi, have been exploring waters at depths of thousands of metres.The Jiaolong even holds the record for the deepest dive by a manned submarine, at 7,062 metres, giving China its place alongside the world's top ocean explorers.The research conducted by these vessels is giving scientists a greater understanding of how the sea bed was formed, as well as helping identify areas for deep-sea drilling, taking deep-sea exploration into a whole new era.
Being a tough environment of complete darkness, enormous pressure and intense cold, the ocean depths have long been beyond the reach of human exploration.However, through closer international scientific, economic and cultural cooperation, we are all becoming part of a global mission to open up our planet's final frontier.Humankind is entering a new age of oceanic discovery, and the world beneath the waves may one day be almost as familiar to us as the land we walk upon today.
