抓主旨推写作意图
在解答写作意图题时,要抓住文章主题句,在理解文章大意的基础上,分析和推导出作者的写作目的。如在解答第5题时,应纵观全文,由段落主题句可知:第一段介绍足球运动风靡全球,二、三、四段解释原因,最后一段做出总结。由此可推出作者写此文的目的主要是解释足球在全世界流行的原因。
(二)阅读表达
1.How does the author support his idea in Paragraph 4?
By_giving_examples.
2.How do you understand “walls” in the fourth paragraph?
“Walls”_may_refer_to_conflict,_prejudice,_dispute,_misunderstanding_and_so_on.

本文语篇类型为论说文。论说文一般具有以下特征:(1)文章第一段以清晰简洁的中心句提出明确的观点或主题;(2)文章的开端、主体内容和结论之间具有清晰的逻辑关系和过渡;(3)主体内容部分的段落提供了支持性论据(包括事实性的、逻辑性的、数据性的和引用的论据);(4)结论部分会基于前面所提供的论据重申观点。如本文第一句直接点明了文章的主题“足球是世界上最受欢迎的运动之一”,随后分析了足球受欢迎的原因,最后引用名人名言深化主题。
英语论说文一半以上的段落都是演绎型,即段落一般由主题句(首句)与支撑句组成。本文每段即是由段首主题句引领,然后通过摆事实、讲道理的方法展开论证,整篇文章层次分明、逻辑性强。
(一)赏用词之妙
1.Given that Neil Armstrong wanted to take a football to the Moon, we could even say that it is also the most popular sport out of this world!
赏析:even作“确实,甚至”解时,常置于be动词、助动词、情态动词之后,实义动词之前,主要用于加强语气,此处突出了足球受欢迎的程度。
2.All over the world you can see kids playing to their hearts' content with a ball made of plastic bags; just like Pelé did when he was a boy.
赏析:to their hearts' content生动地描写了孩子们踢着简易足球时的心满意足的心情,从侧面证明足球是一项简便、花费很少的运动。其中content是不可数名词,意为“满足、满意”,通常指一种心理感受,感觉某事很舒适或很令人高兴。
3.It breaks down walls and brings people together on and off the field.
赏析:break down的字面意思为“打倒,砸破”,此处是指“打破隔阂”,形象描述了足球在人们之间起到的沟通作用。
[提能训练]
①(英译汉) She didn't even call to say she wasn't coming.
她甚至没打电话来说一声她不来了。
②(完成句子)John wanted a week's vacation so he could go to the lake and fish to_his_heart's_content.
约翰想请一周的假,这样他就可以去湖边尽情地钓鱼了。
③(完成句子)This broke_down_the_barriers to communication and helped him build some good professional relationships.
这消除了交流的障碍,并且帮助他建立了一些良好的业务关系。
(二)赏句式之高
1.Given that Neil Armstrong wanted to take a football to the Moon, we could even say that it is also the most popular sport out of this world!
赏析:given that引导条件状语从句,given that表示“鉴于,考虑到”,相比于普通用词if,增加了句式的丰富性。
2.Football as we know it today started in Great Britain, where the game was given new rules.
赏析:as引导方式状语从句明确界定了football的内涵,令表达更准确; as we know it today有时被视为是一种固定表达。where引导非限制性定语从句对先行词Great Britain作了细节说明,让句意更丰富、内容更充实。
3.You do not have to be a fan to recognise the skill of professional players — how they use their bodies to pass, score and defend can be amazing to see — or to feel the excitement of a game ending with a surprising twist.
赏析:句中how they use ...defend为how引导的主语从句,形象生动地描写了职业球员的技巧。ending ... twist为现在分词短语作定语修饰 a game,简洁地描述了赛场上的精彩时刻。
[提能训练|完成句子]
①Given_that_she_is_interested_in_children,_I'm sure teaching is the right career for her.
考虑到她喜欢孩子,我相信教书是适合她的职业。
②Some people predict the extinction of family life as_we_know_it_today.
一些人预言我们现在熟知的家庭生活方式将会消失。
③The park, where_many_people_dance_every_evening,_is beautiful.
那个公园很美,许多人每天晚上在那里跳舞。
④How_she_did_it is not clear.
她怎样做的这件事不清楚。
⑤The lady standing_by_the_window is our English teacher.
站在窗边的那位女士是我们的英语老师。
(三)赏修辞之功
“Some people believe football is a matter of life and death, ...” said Bill Shankly, the famous footballer and manager.
赏析:此处作者运用了引用的修辞手法,直接引述了Bill Shankly的话,用以表达自己的观点。通过引用某处的句子或段落或某人的讲话等来阐述观点、提供论据,可以使表达更准确,更科学,更具体,也更具说服力。
(四)赏逻辑之巧
What's more, football has become one of the best ways for people to communicate: it does not require words, but everyone understands it. It breaks down walls and brings people together on and off the field. Take, for example, the famous football game on Christmas Day 1914.
赏析:课文第二段和第三段解释了足球运动风靡世界的两个原因,本段以顺序衔接词What's more开头,承接上文、继续解释足球这项运动深受欢迎的原因,同时用短语Take, for example引出事实作为论据,逻辑自洽,说服力强,且易于读者接受。
What's_more,_knowing these good table manners will help you make a good impression. Take,_for_example,_while enjoying the meal, you need to avoid making noises while chewing food.
此外,了解这些良好的餐桌礼仪有助于你给人留下好印象。例如,当你用餐时,应避免在咀嚼食物时发出声。
生命在于运动。体育锻炼有益于身心健康,有益于生活质量的提高。我们在校学生更应加强锻炼,劳逸结合。运动既能健体强身,又能减压益智。就拿选文中的太极拳来说吧,它阴阳辩证,刚柔相济,集健身、养性与怡情为一体,已被列入世界非物质文化遗产名录。这么好的运动,你不想试一试吗?
Finding a balance: my tai chi experience
When my friend first suggested that we join the new Tai Chi Club at school, I hesitated. I always believed tai chi was for old people. After the first class, however, I had to admit that I had been wrong about tai chi. It was amazing! One year later, I can honestly say it has had a huge effect on me physically and mentally. Just as importantly, practising tai chi has inspired me to explore the Chinese culture behind it.
The first few tai chi classes were fun and easy, and the moves really caught my imagination, with descriptive names like “white crane spreading its wings” and “golden rooster standing on one leg”.When I asked my coach where these interesting names came from, he told me about the history of tai chi. Zhang Sanfeng, a 13th-century Taoist, was said to have invented tai chi after drawing inspiration from a fight between a snake and a bird. However, nowadays people tend to believe that Chen Wangting, a 17th-century master of Chinese martial arts, developed tai chi based on martial arts skills. No wonder some tai chi moves are named after animals — Chinese martial arts have a long-standing practice of imitating animals.
After learning the basics of tai chi in those first few classes,
doing the same moves over and over again. Luckily, my coach taught me how to relax my muscles and focus on peace of mind while performing the routine. found to my satisfaction that my balance and flexibility slowly improved, that I was able to do more difficult moves, and that my love for tai chi returned stronger than ever.
In time, I began to look into the ancient Chinese culture behind tai chi. I discovered that tai chi is deeply rooted in the Chinese philosophy of yin and yang, which are believed to form the unity of opposites. Neither can exist independent of the other; for example, there is no shadow without light. The practice of tai chi aims to maintain the balance of yin and yang in the body through opposite movements: forwards and backwards, up and down, left and right, breathing in and breathing out. Eventually, tai chi brings about a state of physical balance and mental peace.
A year of practising tai chi has had a positive effect on my everyday life. I sleep better at night, and I am more energetic during the day. I feel happier and more confident. Tai chi has taught me to relax my mind, enabling me to stay cool in stressful situations. I am sure I will continue to practise tai chi and enjoy the benefits it has brought me.
