第4题考查让本处于尴尬境地的原因,选项A看似与本题有关联,属于这一事件的导火索,但却并非其直接原因,故应排除在外。推理判断题的解题一定要分清直接原因和间接原因,只有与设问存在直接因果关系的选项才是正确选项。

A.Apologise to your teammate.

本文为书信文体。阅读此类文章需要了解书信的类别,把握写信的目的,准确定位其主要内容及所蕴含的思想感情。如课文第一封信,根据文章首句“I'm in a total mess here — hope you can help me out!”可知为求助信。这类书信的行文结构一般为“提出困难→描述问题→提出期望”,内容一般是描述自己或他人的困难,争取同情和理解,并用礼貌和恳切的语言请求帮助,使收信人乐于伸出援手。第二封信是对第一封信的回复,是Agony Aunt就Ben的问题给出的建议。建议信的行文结构一般是“困难背后的现象→困难出现的原因→给出具体的建议”。
(一)赏用词之妙
1.I'm crazy about basketball, and pretty good at it too, which is probably why I was so mad when we lost our last match.
赏析:短语be crazy about描写了作者对篮球的热爱,为下文描写输掉比赛后作者的愤怒心情做好了铺垫;副词so修饰mad强调了作者的愤怒情绪,为后面情节的发展埋下了伏笔。
2.Embarrassed and ashamed, I can't concentrate on anything.
赏析:过去分词形式的形容词Embarrassed and ashamed形象地传达了作者内心尴尬又羞愧的复杂情感。
3.Treated this way, you're sure to feel hurt — we should always be able to trust those closest to us,and it hurts even more when we find we can't.
赏析:本句中使用了两个hurt。第一个hurt 为形容词,表示情感上受到了伤害;第二个 hurt 为不及物动词,意为 “伤心”。两个hurt的使用传达了知心阿姨对Ben的同情心,给予Ben以情感上的共鸣,有利于后续建议的提出。
[提能训练|完成句子]
①_He_is_crazy_about_football and playing football is his dream, which he will never give up.
他狂热地喜欢足球,踢足球是他的梦想,他永远不会放弃。
②He turned_away,_embarrassed,_his face flushing red.
他尴尬地扭过头去,羞红了脸。
③What_hurts is that he never even said goodbye.We felt_hurt and betrayed.
令人伤心的是,他甚至从没有道别过,我们觉得自己受到了伤害和欺骗。
(二)赏句式之高
Tell your friend you're angry with him for repeating what you said and making the situation worse, but that you want to move on.
赏析:本句中Tell your friend ...为祈使句,后面是but连接的两个宾语从句,描述了需要与朋友沟通的内容:你对此很生气,但是你不打算再追究。此外,第一个宾语从句中又含有and连接的两个动名词短语,介绍了对方的哪些行为让作者感到生气。

He is thinking about when_he_should_leave_and_what_he_should_bring_with_him.
他正在考虑什么时候出发以及随身应该带些什么。
(三)赏衔接之顺
We played well, but I felt the team were let down by one member, our point guard. The point guard is a key player, but it was like he wasn't even on the court! Disappointed by his behaviour, I said all this to my best friend.I was just letting off steam really, because I was so angry, but then my friend went and told everyone else what I'd said.
赏析:本段文字中三次使用了转折连词but描述了一系列意料之外的事件的发生:比赛本来打得不错,却被一个队友拖累了;这个队友本来是一个关键球员,但却表现得不在状态;自己向朋友抱怨、发泄怒气,朋友却将这些不满告诉了别人。在but的衔接下,复杂的事件变得逻辑清晰,层次分明,且语意过渡自然、前后逻辑顺畅。
[提能训练|试用连词but完成下列句子]
①We got there early_but_Mike_had_already_left.
我们很早到了那里,但是迈克已经离开了。
②He tried to draw attention by shouting, but_he_didn't_succeed.
他试图通过喊叫来引起注意,但没有成功。
(四)赏修辞之功
第二封信中使用了“Loose lips sink ships (祸从口出); loose lips (口风不紧); let off steam(发泄怒气); think first, speak later (先思而后言)”等俚语和俗语,让表达更活泼生动,且易于理解,同时增加了文章的生活气息,更有利于读者产生共鸣。
熟记英语中常见的俚语或俗语:
butterflies in one's stomach 心里紧张,七上八下
on the tip of one's tongue 一时想不起来
cost an arm and a leg 花一大笔钱
kill two birds with one stone 一箭双雕,一举两得
make a mountain out of a molehill 小题大做
put one's foot in one's mouth 说错话
[提能训练|完成句子]
①When he realized he had put_his_foot_in_his_mouth,_he had butterflies_in_his_stomach.
当他意识到他说错话时,他心里忐忑不安。
②It is good to kill_two_birds_with_one_stone but this may cost_an_arm_and_a_leg.
一箭双雕很好,但这可能会花费很多。
如何建立和保持良好的人际关系,开展正常的社会交往是我们青少年成长过程中的重要话题。我们要学会善解人意,设身处地为他人着想。为人处世,应该做到Honesty is the best policy (诚实乃上策)。说话要察言观色,先思后言(Think before you speak; Think first, speak later),这样才能“知己知彼,百战不殆”。
常言道,友谊地久天长。交朋结友也是我们青少年重要的社交方式之一,友谊要建立在互相尊重、理解和包容的基础之上。选文是怎样看待朋友、友谊的呢?让我们一起仔细“悦”读吧!
Friends are gifts and treasures. important to themselves, many put friends ahead of homes, jobs, clothes and cars.
A true friendship carries a long history of experience connected. It is a treasure we should protect. Unfortunately, the better friends you are, the more probably you'll have disagreements. And the result can be what you don't want — an end to the relationship.
The good news is that most troubled friendships can be mended. First, don't let your pride be in your way. Most of us can forgive each other when differences are brought out in the open. Second, apologise when you're wrong — even if you've been wronged. Over the course of a friendship, even the best people make mistakes.Sometimes, it may be the best if the wronged person takes the lead and apologises. When you apologise, give your friend a chance to admit that he has been wrong. Third, see things from your friend's point of view. And finally, accept that friendship changes as our needs and lifestyle change.
Making friends can sometimes seem easy.The hard part is keeping the connections strong during the natural ups and downs that have an effect on all relationships. My suggestion: Consider friendship an honor and a gift, and worth treasuring and nurturing (培养).
