Part 1 语境串记语篇
【英文语篇】
Along the canal, an ancient civilisation studied astronomy and built pyramids that still puzzle us today. Their knowledge of the sky seems far ahead of its time.
When the tropical climate turned dry, people had to abandon the city, and its great temples fell into ruin. The last citizens retreated into the jungle.
Every investigation brings new evidence: a notable discovery may be a simple substance, yet its value is equivalent to gold.
【中文译文】
沿着canal(运河),一个古老的civilisation(文明)研究astronomy(天文学),建造了至今仍令我们困惑的pyramids(金字塔)。他们对天空的了解似乎远超其时代。
当tropical(热带的)气候变得干旱,人们不得不abandon(抛弃)这座城市,宏伟的庙宇沦为ruin(废墟)。最后的居民retreated(撤退)进丛林。
每一次investigation(调查)都带来新证据:一个notable(显著的)发现可能只是简单的substance(物质),其价值却equivalent to(等同于)黄金。

Part 3 词根拆解 · 联想记忆 · 高考考点
1. canal /kəˈnæl/ n. 运河,水道
【核心考点】 canal是文化类与地理类语篇的高频名词。用法要点:①运河,水道——a canal town(运河小镇)、the Suez Canal(苏伊士运河)、a canal system(运河系统);②(人体)管道——the alimentary canal(消化道)。辨析:canal(人工运河/水道)vs channel(海峡/频道)vs river(河流)vs waterway(水道,总称)。写作金句:A canal is a road made of water, carrying trade, ideas and dreams between distant lands(运河是用流水铺成的路,把贸易、思想与梦想运往远方)。
【词根联想】 拉丁语canalis"管道,沟渠"(canna"芦苇")→ 芦苇管→ 水道。联想:can"管"→ canal(运河)、channel(海峡)、cane(藤条)。记住:canal = 芦苇做的管道。
【熟词生义】 熟词生义:canal在教材与真题中常作"运河小镇/水道"语境,如the neighboring canal town of Nanxiang(邻近的南翔运河小镇,2023新高考I卷原句)——小笼包发源地的地理提示。
【真题原句】
(2023新高考I卷·语法填空真题)"Shanghai may be the recognized home of the soup dumplings but food historians will actually point you to the neighboring canal town of Nanxiang as Xiaolongbao's birthplace."(上海也许是小笼包公认的家乡,但美食史学家会告诉你,邻近的运河小镇南翔才是小笼包的发源地。)(真题原句·canal 运河)

【词根联想】 拉丁语civilis"公民的"(civis"公民")→ 公民社会→ 文明。联想:civ"公民"→ civilisation(文明)、civil(公民的)、city(城市)。记住:civilisation = 公民生活之道。
【熟词生义】 熟词生义:civilisation与civilization为英/美拼写差异,阅读中均需识别;真题原句the dangers of everyday civilization(日常文明的危险,2021北京卷)用美式拼写。
【真题原句】
(2021北京卷·阅读真题)"Collapseology, the study of collapse, is more concerned with identifying trends and with them the dangers of everyday civilization."(崩溃学——关于崩溃的研究——更关注识别趋势,以及随之而来的日常文明面临的危险。)(真题原句·civilisation 文明)

3. notable /ˈnəʊtəbl/ adj. 显著的,著名的
【核心考点】 notable是说明文与议论文语篇的高频形容词。用法要点:①显著的,值得注意的——a notable discovery(重大发现)、notable progress(显著进步);②著名的——notable figures(著名人物)。派生词:notably adv. 尤其,显著地→ notably absent(明显缺席);note n./v. 笔记;注意;noted adj. 著名的(同根)。辨析:notable(显著的/著名的)vs noted(著名的,因…闻名)vs famous(出名的)vs remarkable(非凡的)。写作金句:A notable discovery may be a simple substance, for greatness often hides in plain things(重大发现可能只是简单的物质,因为伟大常藏于平凡之中)。
【词根联想】 拉丁语notabilis"值得注意的"(notare"标记",nota"记号")→ 值得做记号→ 显著的。联想:not"标记"→ notable(显著的)、note(笔记)、noted(著名的)。记住:notable = 值得标注的。
【熟词生义】 熟词生义:notable的同根形容词noted(著名的)在真题中常见,如a noted historian of technology(一位著名的科技史学家,2022年1月浙江卷原句);两者均为note的形容词派生。
【真题原句】
(2022年1月浙江卷·阅读真题)"Klein, a noted historian of technology, spins a narrative so lively that at times it reads like a novel."(克莱因——一位著名的科技史学家——把叙事讲得如此生动,有时读起来像小说。)(真题原句·noted 著名的;为 notable 的同根形容词)

【词根联想】 希腊语pyramis"金字塔"(可能源自埃及语)→ 金字塔。联想:pyramid本义为"小麦蛋糕"(形状像堆起的麦堆)→ 金字塔。记住:pyramid = 尖顶堆。
【熟词生义】 熟词生义:pyramid在经济学语境中指"金字塔式结构",如a pyramid scheme(金字塔骗局/传销),阅读与经济类语篇中偶见,需按语境理解。
【经典原句】
(经典原句)"The pyramids still puzzle us today, for their stones fit a pattern the sky itself seems to approve."(金字塔至今仍令我们困惑,因为它们的石料遵循着连天空都似乎认可的图案。)(经典原句·pyramid 金字塔)

【词根联想】 希腊语astronomia"天文"(astron"星"+nomos"法则")→ 星辰的法则。联想:astro"星"→ astronomy(天文学)、astronaut(宇航员)、asteroid(小行星)。记住:astro + nomy = 星辰之学。
【熟词生义】 熟词生义:astronomy与astrology(占星术)仅一词之差,含义迥异,为阅读词汇辨析考点;astronomical可引申为"天文数字般的"(astronomical prices天价)。
【经典原句】
(经典原句)"An ancient civilisation studied astronomy and built pyramids aligned with the stars, reading the sky like a calendar."(一个古老的文明研究天文学,建造与星辰对齐的金字塔,把天空当作日历阅读。)(经典原句·astronomy 天文学)

【词根联想】 希腊语tropikos"转向的"(tropos"转向")→ 太阳转向之处(回归线)→ 热带的。联想:trop"转"→ tropical(热带的)、tropic(回归线)、trope(转义)。记住:tropical = 太阳折返之处。

(经典原句)"When the tropical climate turned dry, the canals dried up and the fields turned to dust."(当热带气候变得干旱,运河干涸,田野化为尘土。)(经典原句·tropical 热带的)

【词根联想】 古法语abandonner"交出,放弃"(a-"向"+bandon"控制权")→ 交出控制→ 放弃。联想:ban"控制"→ abandon(放弃)、ban(禁止)、bandit(强盗)。记住:a + bandon = 交出掌控。

Part 7 关联阅读
Deep in the forest, an old canal still runs between the ruins, its water clear after centuries. Along its banks once stood a great civilisation that studied astronomy with astonishing skill. They built pyramids aligned with the stars, and their calendars were so precise that modern scholars still argue about how they were made. Their knowledge was written not in books but in stone, and the stars themselves were their pages. When the rains failed, the canals dried up, and the fields turned to dust. The people did not disappear overnight; they left slowly, carrying their tools and their gods toward higher ground. Historians still disagree about the cause, but the pattern is written clearly in the layers of dust and clay.
The tropical climate had always been generous, feeding a city of thousands. Then the drought came, year after year, and the earth cracked under the sun. Farmers could no longer feed their families, and the priests could not explain the anger of the sky. One by one, families decided to abandon their homes, and the great temples began to fall into ruin. The last citizens retreated into the jungle, and the jungle, patient as ever, grew over the plazas. The forest claimed the streets, and birds nested where traders once shouted prices. Within a few generations, the city was a secret kept by trees. The vines wrapped the doorways, and the silence grew deep where drums had once marked the hours.
Centuries later, an investigation began. Digging through the roots, explorers uncovered a notable discovery: simple tools made of a substance that was once as precious as gold. In that ancient world, the green stone was equivalent to wealth, carved into masks for the dead and jewellery for the living. Scientists still study the objects, trying to understand the minds that shaped them. The city is silent now, but every artefact tells a story, and every story reminds us that civilisations rise by their rivers and fall by their choices. Yet the deeper lesson is not about the past at all, but about how we use our own rivers today.

Part 1 语境串记语篇
【英文语篇】
Along the canal, an ancient civilisation studied astronomy and built pyramids that still puzzle us today. Their knowledge of the sky seems far ahead of its time.
When the tropical climate turned dry, people had to abandon the city, and its great temples fell into ruin. The last citizens retreated into the jungle.
Every investigation brings new evidence: a notable discovery may be a simple substance, yet its value is equivalent to gold.
【中文译文】
沿着canal(运河),一个古老的civilisation(文明)研究astronomy(天文学),建造了至今仍令我们困惑的pyramids(金字塔)。他们对天空的了解似乎远超其时代。
当tropical(热带的)气候变得干旱,人们不得不abandon(抛弃)这座城市,宏伟的庙宇沦为ruin(废墟)。最后的居民retreated(撤退)进丛林。
每一次investigation(调查)都带来新证据:一个notable(显著的)发现可能只是简单的substance(物质),其价值却equivalent to(等同于)黄金。

【词根联想】 拉丁语canalis"管道,沟渠"(canna"芦苇")→ 芦苇管→ 水道。联想:can"管"→ canal(运河)、channel(海峡)、cane(藤条)。记住:canal = 芦苇做的管道。
【熟词生义】 熟词生义:canal在教材与真题中常作"运河小镇/水道"语境,如the neighboring canal town of Nanxiang(邻近的南翔运河小镇,2023新高考I卷原句)——小笼包发源地的地理提示。
【真题原句】
(2023新高考I卷·语法填空真题)"Shanghai may be the recognized home of the soup dumplings but food historians will actually point you to the neighboring canal town of Nanxiang as Xiaolongbao's birthplace."(上海也许是小笼包公认的家乡,但美食史学家会告诉你,邻近的运河小镇南翔才是小笼包的发源地。)(真题原句·canal 运河)

【词根联想】 拉丁语civilis"公民的"(civis"公民")→ 公民社会→ 文明。联想:civ"公民"→ civilisation(文明)、civil(公民的)、city(城市)。记住:civilisation = 公民生活之道。
【熟词生义】 熟词生义:civilisation与civilization为英/美拼写差异,阅读中均需识别;真题原句the dangers of everyday civilization(日常文明的危险,2021北京卷)用美式拼写。
【真题原句】
(2021北京卷·阅读真题)"Collapseology, the study of collapse, is more concerned with identifying trends and with them the dangers of everyday civilization."(崩溃学——关于崩溃的研究——更关注识别趋势,以及随之而来的日常文明面临的危险。)(真题原句·civilisation 文明)

【核心考点】 notable是说明文与议论文语篇的高频形容词。用法要点:①显著的,值得注意的——a notable discovery(重大发现)、notable progress(显著进步);②著名的——notable figures(著名人物)。派生词:notably adv. 尤其,显著地→ notably absent(明显缺席);note n./v. 笔记;注意;noted adj. 著名的(同根)。辨析:notable(显著的/著名的)vs noted(著名的,因…闻名)vs famous(出名的)vs remarkable(非凡的)。写作金句:A notable discovery may be a simple substance, for greatness often hides in plain things(重大发现可能只是简单的物质,因为伟大常藏于平凡之中)。
【词根联想】 拉丁语notabilis"值得注意的"(notare"标记",nota"记号")→ 值得做记号→ 显著的。联想:not"标记"→ notable(显著的)、note(笔记)、noted(著名的)。记住:notable = 值得标注的。
【熟词生义】 熟词生义:notable的同根形容词noted(著名的)在真题中常见,如a noted historian of technology(一位著名的科技史学家,2022年1月浙江卷原句);两者均为note的形容词派生。
【真题原句】
(2022年1月浙江卷·阅读真题)"Klein, a noted historian of technology, spins a narrative so lively that at times it reads like a novel."(克莱因——一位著名的科技史学家——把叙事讲得如此生动,有时读起来像小说。)(真题原句·noted 著名的;为 notable 的同根形容词)

【词根联想】 希腊语pyramis"金字塔"(可能源自埃及语)→ 金字塔。联想:pyramid本义为"小麦蛋糕"(形状像堆起的麦堆)→ 金字塔。记住:pyramid = 尖顶堆。
【熟词生义】 熟词生义:pyramid在经济学语境中指"金字塔式结构",如a pyramid scheme(金字塔骗局/传销),阅读与经济类语篇中偶见,需按语境理解。
【经典原句】
(经典原句)"The pyramids still puzzle us today, for their stones fit a pattern the sky itself seems to approve."(金字塔至今仍令我们困惑,因为它们的石料遵循着连天空都似乎认可的图案。)(经典原句·pyramid 金字塔)
【搭配词块】 the pyramids of Egypt 埃及金字塔 / a pyramid scheme 金字塔骗局 / pyramidal adj. 金字塔形的 / a pyramid of 金字塔形的一堆

【词根联想】 希腊语astronomia"天文"(astron"星"+nomos"法则")→ 星辰的法则。联想:astro"星"→ astronomy(天文学)、astronaut(宇航员)、asteroid(小行星)。记住:astro + nomy = 星辰之学。
【熟词生义】 熟词生义:astronomy与astrology(占星术)仅一词之差,含义迥异,为阅读词汇辨析考点;astronomical可引申为"天文数字般的"(astronomical prices天价)。
【经典原句】
(经典原句)"An ancient civilisation studied astronomy and built pyramids aligned with the stars, reading the sky like a calendar."(一个古老的文明研究天文学,建造与星辰对齐的金字塔,把天空当作日历阅读。)(经典原句·astronomy 天文学)

【词根联想】 希腊语tropikos"转向的"(tropos"转向")→ 太阳转向之处(回归线)→ 热带的。联想:trop"转"→ tropical(热带的)、tropic(回归线)、trope(转义)。记住:tropical = 太阳折返之处。

【词根联想】 古法语abandonner"交出,放弃"(a-"向"+bandon"控制权")→ 交出控制→ 放弃。联想:ban"控制"→ abandon(放弃)、ban(禁止)、bandit(强盗)。记住:a + bandon = 交出掌控。

【词根联想】 拉丁语ruina"倒塌"(ruere"倒下")→ 倒塌之物→ 废墟。联想:ru"倒下"→ ruin(废墟)、ruin(毁灭)。记住:ruin = 倒下的东西。
【熟词生义】 熟词生义:in ruins(成废墟)与fall into ruin(沦为废墟)为高频短语;ruin作动词时"毁掉"的用法如The storm ruined our trip(暴风雨毁掉了我们的旅行)亦为阅读常考。
【经典原句】

Deep in the forest, an old canal still runs between the ruins, its water clear after centuries. Along its banks once stood a great civilisation that studied astronomy with astonishing skill. They built pyramids aligned with the stars, and their calendars were so precise that modern scholars still argue about how they were made. Their knowledge was written not in books but in stone, and the stars themselves were their pages. When the rains failed, the canals dried up, and the fields turned to dust. The people did not disappear overnight; they left slowly, carrying their tools and their gods toward higher ground. Historians still disagree about the cause, but the pattern is written clearly in the layers of dust and clay.
The tropical climate had always been generous, feeding a city of thousands. Then the drought came, year after year, and the earth cracked under the sun. Farmers could no longer feed their families, and the priests could not explain the anger of the sky. One by one, families decided to abandon their homes, and the great temples began to fall into ruin. The last citizens retreated into the jungle, and the jungle, patient as ever, grew over the plazas. The forest claimed the streets, and birds nested where traders once shouted prices. Within a few generations, the city was a secret kept by trees. The vines wrapped the doorways, and the silence grew deep where drums had once marked the hours.
Centuries later, an investigation began. Digging through the roots, explorers uncovered a notable discovery: simple tools made of a substance that was once as precious as gold. In that ancient world, the green stone was equivalent to wealth, carved into masks for the dead and jewellery for the living. Scientists still study the objects, trying to understand the minds that shaped them. The city is silent now, but every artefact tells a story, and every story reminds us that civilisations rise by their rivers and fall by their choices. Yet the deeper lesson is not about the past at all, but about how we use our own rivers today.
