捕捉故事要点,把握深层寓意
本文选自安托万·德·圣埃克苏佩里的《小王子》,语篇类型为短篇小说。短篇小说通常以精炼的文字展现意义深远的主题。在阅读时,要善于捕捉故事的要点,理解作者的用意,把握故事背后的深层含义。如本文节选部分通过描述主人公儿时的一段经历,作者想让读者明白童真与初心的重要性,进而理解成长的真正意义。
(一)赏用词之妙
1.Once when I was six years old I saw a magnificent picture in a book, called True Stories from Nature, about the primeval forest.
赏析:本句中使用了magnificent一词修饰作者所看到的图画,传达了作者当时的震撼心情。
2.In the book it said: “Boa constrictors swallow their prey whole, without chewing it.
赏析:本句中使用without chewing it,生动地描述了蟒蛇吞咽猎物时的凶猛形象,使得“蛇吞象”的画面更具冲击力。without为介词,后面可接名词、代词或动名词形式,作伴随状语。
3.Grown-ups never understand anything by themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them.
赏析:此处运用never, tiresome, always等富含感彩的词汇,以孩子的语气描述了成年人与儿童在理解事物方面的差异,幽默地表达了儿童的无奈,启发读者要学会保护自己的纯真。
[仿写训练|完成句子]
①________________________________________ demonstrate the great intelligence of the labouring people.

(二)赏句式之高
1.The grown-ups' response, this time, was to advise me to lay aside my drawings of boa constrictors, whether from the inside or the outside, and devote myself instead to geography, history, arithmetic and grammar.
赏析:本句中whether from the inside or the outside为插入语,对上文进行补充说明,不影响整个句子的结构。此外插入语还可用于表示说话者的态度和看法、引起对方的注意、转移话题、承上启下等。常见的插入语有形容词(短语)、副词(短语)、介词(短语)、非谓语动词(短语)、分句等。如:sure enough, strange to say, needless to say, certainly, however, in fact, in one's opinion, to tell you the truth, generally speaking, judging from/by ..., I think, what's more, what's worse等。
2.But, whoever it was, he, or she, would always say:“That is a hat.”
赏析:本句中使用了whoever引导的让步状语从句,与主句中的谓语would always say搭配,暗含了作者失望、沮丧的情绪。

1.In the course of this life, I have had a great many encounters with a great many people who have been concerned with matters of consequence.
赏析:本句中使用了重复的修辞手法——句中两次使用a great many,突出强调了数量之多,为后文作者表述自己的观点埋下了伏笔。
2.I would bring myself down to his level.I would talk to him about bridge, and golf, and politics, and neckties.And the grown-up would be greatly pleased to have met such a sensible man.
赏析:此处使用了反讽的修辞手法,表示成年人根本不懂儿童的世界,他们只是故作聪明罢了。反讽指正话反说或反话正说,如在指责过失、错误时,用赞美的词,旨在达到调侃、批评或讽刺的目的。反讽的表达方式具有生动、形象、幽默、诙谐的特点。
①(反讽)“________________________________”said Helen angrily.
“你多么无私啊!”海伦愤怒地说。
②(重复)Now is the time to forget everything in the past. ____________________________ the business.____________________________ for the future.

When 12 girls from San Fernando high school in California received a grant (助学金) to develop an invention to solve a real -world problem, they decided to create a solar- powered shelter.Now for over a year, the girls have been working after school and over the winter and spring breaks to complete their project.
“They have this amazing drive that I've never seen before, ” said Violet Mardirosian, a math teacher at San Fernando High.“I thought at the beginning that maybe some of them would give up, saying ‘I didn't expect this much work’, but they don't.They're just working hard and they're not giving up.”
Living in a low- income community (社区), the girls have seen the problem of homelessness first -hand, which is why they chose that population to create a product for.Many of them are also from immigrant families and hope the solar -powered shelter might help refugees (难民).Seventeen- year -old Maggie Mejia said that while she had no engineering experience,
the girls figured out as a team how to create the prototype (雏形), using how- to videos and books that taught them how to code.But the most important lesson she's learned over the course of the project isn't technical.“I've learned a lot about helping others, helping the community and showing a better world to other people,” she said.
The girls have been invited to MIT to show their invention. Mardirosian says all the participating students have expressed interest in going into STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) fields and that students from lower grades are already expressing interest in being involved next year.She says, “Many of them didn't think about engineering before.They thought maybe they're not made out to be an engineer.But working together, now they realize they're all needed in this field.Everyone has found their importance in this picture.”

It is natural that young people are often uncomfortable when they are with their parents.They say that their parents don't understand them.They often think that their parents are out of touch with modern ways; that they are too serious and too strict with their children; and that they seldom give their children a free hand.
It is true that parents often find it difficult to win their children's trust and they tend to forget how they themselves felt when young.They show that they have grown up and that they can face any difficult situation.Older people worry more easily.Most of them plan things ahead, at least in the back of their minds, and do not like their plans to be upset by something unexpected.
When you want your parents to let you do something, you will have better success if you ask before you really start doing it.
Young people often make their parents angry with their choices in clothes, in entertainment and in music.But they do not mean to cause any trouble; it is just that they feel cut off from the older people's world, into which they have not yet been accepted.That's why young people want to make a new culture of their own.And if their parents do not like their music or entertainment or clothes or their way of speech, this will make the young people extremely happy.
Sometimes you are so proud of yourself that you do not want your parents to say “yes” to what you do.All you want is to be left alone and do what you like.It is natural enough, after being a child for so many years, when you were completely under your parents' control.
If you plan to control your life, you'd better win your parents over and try to get them to understand you.If your parents see that you have a high sense of responsibility, they will certainly give you the right to do what you want to do.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章讲述的是年轻人不喜欢和他们的父母在一起,认为父母不理解他们。作者对此现象进行了分析,并对年轻人提出了一些中肯的建议, 告诉他们如何使两代人和睦相处。

Every kid wishes to be an adult.Do you remember playing house as a child — pretending to be a grown -up like your parents Did you imagine you were a doctor, a soldier or a teacher At that time, anything seemed more exciting than being young. 9 They become “kidults” (kid + adult), who participate in the culture and activities traditionally intended for children.
Some kidults collect toys they once played with. 10 It is not unusual to see a 20 -something woman with a big, Snoopy -shaped cushion (坐垫) on her sofa or a Hello Kitty mobile phone accessory.
11 For example, Bloomsbury even published the Harry Potter novels with an adult cover.That way, no one else on the subway will know that an adult is actually reading a children's book!
“Kidults can be like vitamins to society.Adults who value their childhood and hold on to pure, childlike emotion may be needed in such a rough and dry society,” said Lee Sojung, professor of Foreign Studies at Hankuk University. 12 It could give children and their parents books, movies, and cartoon shows to enjoy together.He may be right.
Tim Greenhalgh, a professor in London explained that some kidults just refused to grow up. 13 Kidults would like to forget their age and openly show their fear of society and adulthood.“So, they can escape from increasingly complex and stressful lives that are hard to deal with,” Greenhalgh said...
A.Other kidults still enjoy children's stories and fairy tales.
B.But now some adults find they cannot leave childhood behind.
C.And some adults often run into the problem of finding a good job.
D.They do so because life in a busy and stressful city frightens them.
E.Hello Kitty, Garfield, and Snoopy have many adult fans around the world.
F.They may not be great parents as well as able to take on adult responsibilities.
G.He added that kidult culture may fill the generation gap between adults and kids.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文中讲到每个孩子都希望长大成人,但现在一些成年人却无法完全抛下童年的记忆。有专家认为成年人拥有童年情结是很有必要的。
9.选B 根据下文可知,此处描述很多成年人依然童心未泯,依然参与童年的一些活动。由此可知,选项B(但是现在一些成年人发现他们想要重温童年)符合语境。
10.选E 根据上文可知,空处所填会继续围绕成年人收集他们曾经玩过的玩具这一段落主题句展开。由此可知,选项E(凯蒂猫、加菲猫和史努比在世界各地都有许多成年粉丝)与本段首句的话题一致且衔接下文。
11.选A 空处是本段的主题句。下文以举例的方式说明有些成年人喜欢读儿童读物的现象,故空处应与此处话题一致。由此可知,选项A(另一些成年人仍然喜欢儿童故事和童话故事)与上述分析一致。
12.选G 上文引用专家的话来说明我们可能需要珍视有孩童般的情感的成年人这一观点,故空处应继续这一话题。由此可知,选项G(他补充说,童心未泯的成年人文化可能会填补成年人和孩子之间的代沟)符合语境。G项中的主语“He”指代前文中的研究教授,此处为教授对自己的观点的补充说明。
13.选D 由上文可知,空处将继续展开一些成年人拒绝长大这一话题。由此可知,选项D(他们这样做是因为繁忙和紧张的城市生活让他们感到害怕)符合语境。选项D与上文话题一致且能自然地衔接下文。4 / 4

Ⅱ.阅读七选五
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文中讲到每个孩子都希望长大成人,但现在一些成年人却无法完全抛下童年的记忆。有专家认为成年人拥有童年情结是很有必要的。
9.选B 根据下文可知,此处描述很多成年人依然童心未泯,依然参与童年的一些活动。由此可知,选项B(但是现在一些成年人发现他们想要重温童年)符合语境。
10.选E 根据上文可知,空处所填会继续围绕成年人收集他们曾经玩过的玩具这一段落主题句展开。由此可知,选项E(凯蒂猫、加菲猫和史努比在世界各地都有许多成年粉丝)与本段首句的话题一致且衔接下文。
11.选A 空处是本段的主题句。下文以举例的方式说明有些成年人喜欢读儿童读物的现象,故空处应与此处话题一致。由此可知,选项A(另一些成年人仍然喜欢儿童故事和童话故事)与上述分析一致。
12.选G 上文引用专家的话来说明我们可能需要珍视有孩童般的情感的成年人这一观点,故空处应继续这一话题。由此可知,选项G(他补充说,童心未泯的成年人文化可能会填补成年人和孩子之间的代沟)符合语境。G项中的主语“He”指代前文中的研究教授,此处为教授对自己的观点的补充说明。
13.选D 由上文可知,空处将继续展开一些成年人拒绝长大这一话题。由此可知,选项D(他们这样做是因为繁忙和紧张的城市生活让他们感到害怕)符合语境。选项D与上文话题一致且能自然地衔接下文。
