人物精神
专业、勇敢、无私、坚韧、合作;不同国籍、年龄与信仰的人因共同事业建立联结。
主题意义
疾病不尊重国界;有效的人道援助以需要为先,并依靠专业责任和跨国协作。
【关键句】It is vital not to take any chances. / It is absolutely essential for us all to collaborate.
【长难句抓手】日记按“决定—接岗—协作—病例—反思”推进;人物、行动与感受共同支撑“共同事业超越国界”,两处形式主语it使重要判断先行。
【课堂追问】What enabled people from different countries to become a strong team?
【参考】Professional duty gave them a common cause, while mutual trust, clear roles and collaboration turned their differences into a source of strength.

语言力量
短演说通过重复、对比和层层递进,把具体战场提升为关于自由、平等与共同责任的国家命题。
主题意义
真正打破社会边界,需要把抽象理想转化为生者继续完成的共同任务。
【关键句与结构】It is rather for us to be dedicated to the great task remaining before us. 历史背景 → 建国理想 → 战争考验 → 生者责任 → 未来愿景。
【迁移任务】用一句话回答:How can words help break social boundaries? Give one reason.
【示例】Words can break social boundaries when they reshape a shared understanding of equality and persuade people to take responsibility for change.
知识点1:核心词汇精讲
assist:提供帮助,而非替人完成
【教材语境】MSF根据医疗需要为受冲突、疫情或医疗资源不足影响的人提供帮助。
1. assist v. 帮助;assistance n. 帮助;assistant n. 助手;assist比help更正式。
2. assist sb with sth;assist sb in doing sth;come to sb's assistance。
3. assist后可接with或in doing;不要写assist sb to doing。
【即时小练】Local volunteers ______ doctors with patient registration and translation.(assistance)

devotion / dedicate:把价值转化为行动
【教材语境】MSF成员对共同事业的奉献与林肯号召生者投身未竟事业形成主题呼应。
1. devotion n. 奉献;devote v. 投入;dedicate v. 献身、把……用于;dedication n. 奉献。

知识点2:话题表达与语篇迁移
话题词汇与表达迁移
表达功能
核心表达
迁移句型
描述边界
national/social/cultural/ideological boundaries; division; prejudice
The boundary was created by unequal access and long-held prejudice.
说明援助
provide assistance; based on need; relieve pressure; offer medical care
The volunteers provided assistance based on need rather than nationality.
强调合作
collaborate with; join together in a common cause; make a joint effort
Communities must collaborate on solutions that affect them all.
倡导包容
be inclusive; mutual respect; equal opportunity; listen before judging
An inclusive society gives every person a fair chance to contribute.
评价人物
devotion to; be dedicated to; set sb apart; correct prejudice
What set her apart was her devotion to truth and mutual understanding.
提出行动
It is vital/essential to...; It is up to us to...; work towards...
It is up to us to turn shared values into practical action.
【运用原则】用“boundary—cause—action—collaboration—change”组织表达;既指出差异,也说明共同目标和可执行行动。
【迁移训练】围绕“Listening is the first step towards breaking a cultural boundary”写3句话:界定问题、提出行动、说明影响。
【示例】Cultural boundaries often grow from limited contact and quick judgement. It is therefore vital to listen to personal stories and ask respectful questions. Through mutual learning, unfamiliar differences can become starting points for collaboration.
知识点3:形式主语it与单元写作
形式主语it:观察—比较—归纳—判断—运用
【观察】It is vital to listen before judging. / It is important that every voice should be heard. / It takes time to build mutual trust.
判断维度
形式主语it
指代性it
作用
代替后置的不定式、动名词或从句,使句子平衡
指代上文已出现的具体事物、事件或内容
常见结构
It is + adj./n. + to do/that...;It takes sb...to do;It is said that...
The report is useful. It shows where help is needed.
判断方法
删除it并查看句尾是否有真正主语;若有,it通常为形式主语
能明确回答“it指什么”,通常为指代性it
高频错误
漏掉to/that;for/of sb混用;主从句结构不完整
无明确指代对象却机械使用it
判断流程
① 看it能否指代上文具体对象 → ② 找句尾真正主语 → ③ 判断不定式或从句类型 → ④ 选择合适结构。
结构一:It is + adj./n. + (for/of sb) + to do;for说明动作执行者,of评价人的品质。
结构二:It is + adj./n. + that从句;必要、建议类形容词后的从句可用(should) do。
结构三:It takes sb time to do;It is said/reported/believed that...。
【易错辨析】形式主语it不指代具体名词;指代性it能明确回指上文对象,如The report is useful. It shows...。
【高频错误】漏写to或that;for/of误用;把真正主语重复保留;that从句成分不完整。
即时训练
1. 改写:To collaborate across cultures is vital.
【答案】It is vital to collaborate across cultures. 不定式后置作真正主语。
2. ______ is important for volunteers to receive training before departure.
【答案】It。句尾不定式为真正主语,句首使用形式主语。
3. 改写:That every participant should be treated equally is essential.
【答案】It is essential that every participant should be treated equally. that从句后置。
4. 改错:It is difficult for understand another culture without real contact.
【答案】for understand → to understand。该结构为It is + adj. + to do。
5. 改写:People believe that dialogue can reduce prejudice.(形式主语it)
【答案】It is believed that dialogue can reduce prejudice. 使用“it + 被动报告结构 + that从句”。
6. 翻译:对不同文化的人来说,彼此倾听是很重要的。
【答案】It is important for people from different cultures to listen to one another.

Hello, everyone. Today I'd like to introduce Edgar Snow, an American journalist who helped readers in the West understand China in the 1930s. At a time when little was known about China abroad, he travelled with the Chinese Red Army, observed daily life and conducted interviews. His book Red Star over China told these stories with unusual authenticity and helped correct prejudice. It was brave of him to cross ideological boundaries in wartime. I admire his devotion to truth and believe that it is vital for us to listen before judging another culture. Thank you.

三、阅读理解(每题2.5分,共10分)
The River Lab Without Borders
Two secondary schools stood on opposite sides of the River Alba, which also marked the border between their countries. Students could see the other town from their classroom windows, yet few had ever spoken to anyone there. Both communities depended on the river for farming and drinking water, and both complained when the water turned cloudy after heavy rain. For years, however, they collected information separately and blamed problems on the other side.
A science teacher named Mara suggested that the schools form a shared river lab. The first meeting revealed an unexpected obstacle. One group measured distance in metres but recorded water quality with a different scale; the other used colour descriptions that were hard to compare. Even the names of several plants changed across the border. Rather than choosing one school's method and asking the other to follow it, the students designed a common data sheet. It used numbers, simple symbols and photographs, with explanations in both languages.
Each month, mixed teams tested water at six points along the river. They uploaded results to the same map and discussed unusual changes in short video calls. When one team found a sudden rise in a chemical linked to fertiliser, the shared records showed that the change began after storms, not at the national border. Students then visited farms in both communities. They did not accuse the farmers. Instead, they demonstrated how strips of grass beside fields could slow rainwater and keep more soil and fertiliser out of the river.
The project produced cleaner data, but its larger result was trust. Farmers were more willing to act because students from both sides presented the evidence together. The schools later added art and history activities, allowing families to share river stories as well as scientific results. The river still separated two countries on a map, but it no longer divided the young people studying it.
The lab succeeded because it did not pretend that differences in language or practice were unimportant. It made those differences visible, then built a fair system for working through them. In doing so, the students turned a boundary from a reason for blame into a reason to collaborate.
15. What obstacle did the students discover at their first meeting?
A. Neither school had equipment for testing water.
B. Their methods and descriptions were difficult to compare.
C. Farmers refused to discuss the river with young people.
D. The two towns depended on completely different water sources.
16. What does “a common data sheet” in paragraph 2 mainly refer to?
A. A shared system for recording comparable information.
B. A legal document that removed the national border.
C. A map showing which school owned each part of the river.
D. A list translating every plant name into one language.
17. Why were farmers more willing to take action?
A. They were promised financial rewards by both schools.
B. The students stopped mentioning fertiliser in their reports.
C. Evidence and solutions were presented jointly and respectfully.
D. The river stories proved that scientific testing was unnecessary.
18. What is the author's main purpose in writing the passage?
A. To argue that national borders should be removed from maps.
B. To show how a shared problem turned differences into collaboration.
C. To compare farming methods used in two neighbouring countries.
D. To explain why art is more effective than science in building trust.
【解析】15 B。定位第二段:双方使用不同量表、颜色描述和植物名称,信息难以比较;A、C、D均与原文不符。
【解析】16 A。该表用数字、符号、照片和双语说明建立共同记录系统;B夸大,C、D曲解其功能。
【解析】17 C。定位第四段:两边学生共同、尊重地呈现证据与方案,因此农民更愿行动;A、B、D无依据或相反。
【解析】18 B。全文以隔阂—方法差异—共同标准—联合行动—信任为主线,展示共同问题如何促成协作。
四、完形填空(每题1分,共15分)

删除it并查看句尾是否有真正主语;若有,it通常为形式主语
能明确回答“it指什么”,通常为指代性it
高频错误
漏掉to/that;for/of sb混用;主从句结构不完整
无明确指代对象却机械使用it
判断流程
① 看it能否指代上文具体对象 → ② 找句尾真正主语 → ③ 判断不定式或从句类型 → ④ 选择合适结构。
结构一:It is + adj./n. + (for/of sb) + to do;for说明动作执行者,of评价人的品质。

结构三:It takes sb time to do;It is said/reported/believed that...。
【易错辨析】形式主语it不指代具体名词;指代性it能明确回指上文对象,如The report is useful. It shows...。
【高频错误】漏写to或that;for/of误用;把真正主语重复保留;that从句成分不完整。

The River Lab Without Borders
Two secondary schools stood on opposite sides of the River Alba, which also marked the border between their countries. Students could see the other town from their classroom windows, yet few had ever spoken to anyone there. Both communities depended on the river for farming and drinking water, and both complained when the water turned cloudy after heavy rain. For years, however, they collected information separately and blamed problems on the other side.
A science teacher named Mara suggested that the schools form a shared river lab. The first meeting revealed an unexpected obstacle. One group measured distance in metres but recorded water quality with a different scale; the other used colour descriptions that were hard to compare. Even the names of several plants changed across the border. Rather than choosing one school's method and asking the other to follow it, the students designed a common data sheet. It used numbers, simple symbols and photographs, with explanations in both languages.
Each month, mixed teams tested water at six points along the river. They uploaded results to the same map and discussed unusual changes in short video calls. When one team found a sudden rise in a chemical linked to fertiliser, the shared records showed that the change began after storms, not at the national border. Students then visited farms in both communities. They did not accuse the farmers. Instead, they demonstrated how strips of grass beside fields could slow rainwater and keep more soil and fertiliser out of the river.
The project produced cleaner data, but its larger result was trust. Farmers were more willing to act because students from both sides presented the evidence together. The schools later added art and history activities, allowing families to share river stories as well as scientific results. The river still separated two countries on a map, but it no longer divided the young people studying it.
The lab succeeded because it did not pretend that differences in language or practice were unimportant. It made those differences visible, then built a fair system for working through them. In doing so, the students turned a boundary from a reason for blame into a reason to collaborate.
15. What obstacle did the students discover at their first meeting?
A. Neither school had equipment for testing water.
B. Their methods and descriptions were difficult to compare.
C. Farmers refused to discuss the river with young people.
D. The two towns depended on completely different water sources.
16. What does “a common data sheet” in paragraph 2 mainly refer to?
A. A shared system for recording comparable information.
B. A legal document that removed the national border.
C. A map showing which school owned each part of the river.
D. A list translating every plant name into one language.
17. Why were farmers more willing to take action?
A. They were promised financial rewards by both schools.
B. The students stopped mentioning fertiliser in their reports.
C. Evidence and solutions were presented jointly and respectfully.
D. The river stories proved that scientific testing was unnecessary.
18. What is the author's main purpose in writing the passage?
A. To argue that national borders should be removed from maps.
B. To show how a shared problem turned differences into collaboration.
C. To compare farming methods used in two neighbouring countries.
D. To explain why art is more effective than science in building trust.

Inclusive Voices
When Lina began volunteering at a community radio station, she 19 ______ that nearly every programme about the town was produced by the same small group.

Interviews arrived in several languages, and no single person could check every detail. 22 ______ of lowering their standards, the station paired each newcomer with a local student.

It was 24 ______ that guests should understand how their words would be used. Before each interview, the team therefore explained the editing process and asked for permission. This careful routine gave nervous speakers a sense of 25 ______ and increased their confidence.
The first episode almost failed 26 ______ a guest used an expression that had no exact translation. Rather than hide the uncertainty, the hosts explained the phrase and invited listeners to compare similar sayings. Unexpectedly, this became the most popular part of the programme. People wrote to say that the discussion had helped them notice assumptions they normally took for granted.
The team also 27 ______ time to residents who could not visit the studio. Travelling took extra hours, but the warmth of face-to-face conversations 28 ______ for the rougher sound quality. After six months, the programme had grown 29 ______ a translation experiment into a shared public space.
Its success depended on 30 ______, not on one heroic presenter. Newcomers and long-time residents offered 31 ______ assistance, corrected one another respectfully and learned to disagree without closing the conversation.
