扫读首尾部分，把握文章主旨
本篇课文分为两部分，前一部分交代了Abraham Lincoln演讲的历史背景和意义，后一部分呈现了完整的演讲内容。演讲稿通常像议论文一样论点鲜明、逻辑性强，同时又讲究使用各种修辞手法，行文具有较强的感染力。阅读演讲稿时应首先扫读开头和结尾部分，可在第一时间把握演讲稿的主题。特别是演讲稿的结尾部分通常有一些用于总结或号召的语言，这些语言也有助于对主题的把握。
(一)赏用词之妙
1．On a grey afternoon on 19 November 1863, a tall, thin man mounted a platform in a field in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania and began to speak.
赏析：此处的grey一词既描述了当时阴沉的天气，又衬托了人们沉重、迷茫的心情。mount意为“登上，走上”，常用在较为正式的文体中，也有“骑上，乘上；逐步增加；组织开展”的意思。
2．For two years, its people had been deep in a civil war between the slave-owning Confederate Southern States and the “free” Northern States of the Union.
赏析：本句中的deep为熟词生义的用法，此处意为“深陷”，写出了人们深受战争之苦。
3．Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation, so conceived, and so dedicated, can long endure.
赏析：本句中的so conceived, so dedicated回指第四段中的conceived in Liberty, dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal，突出强调“我们”的国家孕育于自由之中，献身于人人生而平等的理想。
①Friends are like lights, brightening the grey days for us.
________________________________________________________________________
②Courage is the ladder on which all the other virtues mount.
________________________________________________________________________
(二)赏句式之高
1．He gave them a new vision of what the United States of America should be, based on the ideals set down by its Founding Fathers 87 years before.
赏析：此处使用what引导的宾语从句及过去分词短语based on ...具体解释了主句中提到的愿景指的是什么。
2．The world will little note, nor long remember, what we say here, but can never forget what they did here.
赏析：此处两个由what引导的宾语从句，分别作remember及forget的宾语，彰显了语言的对称之美。
①________________________， the film attracts many people, whether they are old or young.
这部电影改编自一个真实的故事，吸引了很多人，无论老幼。
②He sat there, choosing to remain silent, and _____________________________________.
他坐在那里，选择保持沉默，没有对所发生的事情发表任何评论。
(三)赏修辞之功
1．But in a larger sense, we can not dedicate — we can not consecrate — we can not hallow this ground.
赏析：此处使用了排比的修辞手法，增强了语言的韵律美和演讲的气势，能够唤起情感共鸣，给听众留下深刻印象。
2．It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us — ...and that this government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
赏析：此处先是使用了四个that从句作task的同位语，同时，最后一个that从句中的of the people, by the people, for the people也采用了排比的修辞手法。这些使表达层层展开，又层层推进，语势逐渐增强，在文章结尾处将整篇演讲稿的气氛推到最高点，具有极强的感召力。
①___________________________________ can we reach our destination; only through hard work ________________________.
只有出发才会到达目的地，只有努力才能取得成功。
②The sun is smiling and _____________________________________.The wind is whistling and ________________________________________________________________________.
太阳在微笑，鸟儿在歌唱。风在呼啸，花在舞蹈。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Praised as the “Edgar Snow of a New Era”， British journalist Andrew Moody devoted himself to accurately reporting on China for over a decade.
Born in West Stockwith, Nottinghamshire, on September 2, 1960, Moody's interest in journalism began at age 15.What came next was a storied career that would span four decades.
A visit to Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, in 1997 turned his attention to China.During that visit, he was surprised by the great changes that had taken place in China.
Moody began working for China Daily in 2008.In his 13 years at the paper, he published more than 1 million words in the newspaper group's different publications.
“These stories aim to explain to a wider audience the strategies and aims of the Chinese government, and also look at the challenges and difficulties it faces，” Moody wrote.“It is also to highlight important issues, which go largely ignored in the mainstream Western media, which often fail to provide a full or true picture of China.”
To better cover China, Moody read a lot.In his Beijing apartment, there were more than 160 books about the nation.
Su Qiang, a China Daily editor who worked with Moody for eight years, said, “He had read all the books that top experts had written about China, and he closely followed how the world viewed China.”
Moody also learned to speak Mandarin, traveled to most provinces and autonomous regions throughout China and immersed (沉浸于) himself in the Chinese way of life.
“China is moving into a new era in which it is much more confident about its position and status in the world.I had a definite sense of history in the making，” said Moody.He hoped that he could be one of the witnesses and reporters of this historic time.
So even after he was diagnosed with a degenerative (退化性的) disease, Moody still soldiered on.
“All he cared about was whether he could keep on working，” said Wang Liping, Moody's attending doctor.
When he passed away in June, many people were sad.
“He will be a huge loss to those who are working hard on the dialogue between China and the outside world，” said Kerry Brown, a professor of Chinese Studies at King's College London.
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了一位致力于准确报道中国的外国记者安德鲁·穆迪的生平事迹。
1．What can we know about Andrew Moody
A．He considered Edgar Snow to be his role model.
B．He reported on China for four decades.
C．He started to be interested in journalism as a teenager.
D．He moved to China to work in 1997.
解析：细节理解题。根据文章第二段第一句可知，安德鲁·穆迪青少年时就开始对新闻工作感兴趣。
√
2．What did Moody try to do when working for China Daily
A．To draw a wider audience to the newspaper.
B．To report on the typical Chinese way of life.
C．To accurately introduce China to more people.
D．To actively communicate with the mainstream Western media.
√
解析：细节理解题。根据第四、五段的内容，并结合第六段中的“To better cover China, Moody read a lot.”可知，当穆迪为《中国日报》工作时，他精准地向更多的人介绍了中国。
3．What are paragraphs 6～8 mainly about
A．Moody's findings in China.
B．Moody's effort to better cover China.
C．Moody's life in China.
D．Moody's colleague's impression of him.
√
解析：段落大意题。第六、七段提到为了更好地报道中国，穆迪读了很多书，并密切关注世界对中国的看法。第八段则描述了他学说普通话，实地走访了中国大部分地区。由此可知，第六至八段主要是讲穆迪如何努力地、更好地报道中国。
4．Which of the following best describes Moody
A．Intelligent and hardworking.
B．Responsible and cautious.
C．Friendly and humorous.
D．Devoted and passionate.
√
解析：推理判断题。根据第一段的“British journalist Andrew Moody devoted himself to accurately reporting on China for over a decade”可知，穆迪对工作是投入的，全心全意的；再根据第二段的“Moody's interest in journalism began at age 15.What came next was a storied career that would span four decades”可知，他对新闻报道工作是极其感兴趣的，充满热情的。
B
One side effect of globalization and the related phenomenon of greatly increased mobility (流动性) is that the traditional definition of “foreigner” has passed its “best-before date”．
Is a European who has lived in China longer than in his home country, becoming fluent in the language and knowing the culture well in the process, still a foreigner in China, or has he become more of a foreigner in his own hometown What about a Beijinger who had her schooling in Canada and then lived and worked there for another 20 years while raising a family who has no intention of returning to China？Does she think and act like a foreigner What do we mean by this label (标签)
When I grew up in the suburbs of Chicago, the faces I would see during a walk through a local shopping mall back in the 1960s and 1970s included almost none of Asian descent (血统)．Today the local malls are full of Asian faces, and a glance at the ranks of top scoring students in local schools reveals lots of Asian surnames.
To some extent, this is no great surprise in the American context, because America is a land of immigrants, and a cultural melting pot.Apart from the native American Indians, Americans are (or were)，in some way, all foreigners anyway.Absorbing a large number of immigrants is an established pattern in American history.
In most places, the traditional foreigners were people who didn't speak or read the local languages well and were unfamiliar with local customs and lifestyles.But, nowadays, a foreigner walking down the street may have better SAT scores than you, or a higher degree from a better university.
The traditional role models are getting mixed up, and it looks like this is just the beginning of a new chapter.Today, the whole thing has totally changed.It's not about where people are from or what color their skins are.It's about who they are, what values and skills they bring, and how they think.
语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文，主要论述了随着全球化的发展和人口流动性的大幅增加，传统意义上的“外国人”的概念已发生了根本性的变化，人们需要对此重新定义。
5．What does the underlined part in paragraph 1 mean
A．The term “foreigner” should be redefined.
B．The term “foreigner” should no longer be used.
C．There are no more foreigners in the world today.
D．The term “foreigner” is not proper to define people.
解析：句意理解题。分析第一段的内容可知，画线部分表示传统意义上对于“外国人”的定义已经“过期”。由此可知，如今对“外国人”的定义已发生了很大的变化，应重新定义“外国人”一词。
√
6．What does the author tend to tell us by mentioning a European and a Beijinger
A．It's no longer proper to define foreigners according to their birthplaces.
B．The label of foreigners can never be removed.
C．Most foreigners can do well in learning languages.
D．It's impossible for a foreigner to get recognition abroad.
√
解析：推理判断题。根据第一段的内容及第二段中列举一个欧洲人和一个北京人的例子可推出，根据出生地来定义“外国人”已经不合时宜了。
7．What can be inferred from the third paragraph
A．In 1960s and 1970s, Asians didn't shop in Chicago.
B．Today, more and more Asian travellers like to shop in Chicago.
C．There are more Asian people today than in the 1960s and 1970s in Chicago.
D．Most Asian students do well academically in the schools in Chicago.
解析：推理判断题。根据第三段的内容可推出，当今在芝加哥的亚洲人比20世纪60年代和70年代多。
√
8．What's the main idea of the passage
A．Globalization and mobility have caused more and more immigrants.
B．The standards of defining “foreigner” have thoroughly changed.
C．America is a cultural melting pot.
D．Immigration is a global social phenomenon.
√
解析：主旨大意题。本文主要叙述了随着全球化的发展和全球人口流动性大幅增加，传统的对“外国人”的定义已发生了巨大的变化，应该重新定义，而且“foreigner”一词贯穿全文。
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
Globalization has brought different cultures together in a way unimaginable one hundred years ago.Today, Chinese, Indians, Arabs, Africans, Anglos, and Hispanics may all work in the same offices, attend the same schools or live in the same neighborhoods.As cultures meet with each other, many differences stand out. 9
We want to show, however, that there is more to these cultures than diversity.Let's take examples of the following old proverbs.
“Honesty is the first chapter in the book of wisdom.”
“One falsehood spoils a thousand truths.”
“Be honest to those who are honest and those who are not honest.”
“A sacrifice is spoiled by a lie and the merit of devotion by an act of cheating.”
10 These seem to be a sort of cultural unity.
We don't want to imply all cultures are the same.Cultural diversity is real, and people from different cultures view many situations in different ways. 11 They are justice, courage, patience, generosity, equality, mercy, kindness, respect for the elders and many more.Lying and stealing appear to be wrong no matter where you go.Perhaps some cultures make room for extenuating (情有可原的) circumstances more than others; perhaps different cultures apply these virtues in different ways; and when values are inconsistent, different cultures may place different levels of importance on them. 12 But both cultures may still value both.
To us, it seems as if there is some sort of code of right and wrong that everyone in the world seems to understand, regardless of culture.It is almost as if, behind all of the diversity, one finds a common understanding — a human culture — that goes beyond racial, social, and political boundaries. 13
A．And our society has lately stressed the importance of diversity.
B．All people seem to agree that we ought to have unique culture.
C．Each value supports more sayings from different cultures.
D．These sayings from four separate cultures all support the same value — honesty.
E．However, historically, different cultures seem to share a great many common values.
F．It is almost as if, despite all our differences, we are all still the same — we are just people.
G．For example, one culture may lean more toward justice and another culture more toward mercy.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了全球化将不同的文化聚集在一起，尽管我们有很多不同，但我们仍然是一样的——我们都是人类。
9．选A 下文由however引出了“文化不仅有多样性”，however表转折，故可推知本句应强调多样性的重要性。故A项“我们的社会最近也强调了多样性的重要性”符合语境。
10．选D 上文介绍了关于诚实的谚语，下文说这些似乎有一种文化统一性，可知本句是在总结上文这些谚语所体现的价值观：诚实。故D项“这些来自四种不同文化的谚语都支持同样的价值观——诚实”符合语境。
11．选E 由上下文语境可知，本句应与上文提到的文化多样性构成转折，引出不同的文化中存在哪些共同价值观，后文则进行了具体列举。故E项“然而，从历史上看，不同的文化似乎有很多共同的价值观”符合语境。
12．选G 上文提到当价值观不一致时，不同的文化可能会对他们有不同程度的重视，本句承接上文，针对这一现象进行具体举例，故G项“例如，一种文化可能更倾向于正义，而另一种文化可能更倾向于仁慈”符合语境且后文both cultures指代G项中“one culture”和“and another culture”。
13．选F 上文提到人们找到了一个共同的理解——人类文化，它超越了种族、社会和政治的界限，本句为本段最后一句，说明尽管人与人有很多不同，但“我们都是人”是一样的，与标题相呼应。故F项“这就好像，尽管我们有很多不同，但我们都是一样的——我们都是人”符合语境。4 / 4

“Be honest to those who are honest and those who are not honest.”
“A sacrifice is spoiled by a lie and the merit of devotion by an act of cheating.”
__10__ These seem to be a sort of cultural unity.
We don't want to imply all cultures are the same.Cultural diversity is real, and people from different cultures view many situations in different ways.__11__ They are justice, courage, patience, generosity, equality, mercy, kindness, respect for the elders and many more.Lying and stealing appear to be wrong no matter where you go.Perhaps some cultures make room for extenuating (情有可原的) circumstances more than others; perhaps different cultures apply these virtues in different ways; and when values are inconsistent, different cultures may place different levels of importance on them. __12__ But both cultures may still value both.
To us, it seems as if there is some sort of code of right and wrong that everyone in the world seems to understand, regardless of culture.It is almost as if, behind all of the diversity, one finds a common understanding — a human culture — that goes beyond racial, social, and political boundaries.__13__
A．And our society has lately stressed the importance of diversity.
B．All people seem to agree that we ought to have unique culture.
C．Each value supports more sayings from different cultures.
D．These sayings from four separate cultures all support the same value — honesty.
E．However, historically, different cultures seem to share a great many common values.
F．It is almost as if, despite all our differences, we are all still the same — we are just people.
G．For example, one culture may lean more toward justice and another culture more toward mercy.
UNIT 4 课时检测(四)
Ⅰ.阅读理解
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了一位致力于准确报道中国的外国记者安德鲁·穆迪的生平事迹。
1．选C 细节理解题。根据文章第二段第一句可知，安德鲁·穆迪青少年时就开始对新闻工作感兴趣。
2．选C 细节理解题。根据第四、五段的内容，并结合第六段中的“To better cover China, Moody read a lot.”可知，当穆迪为《中国日报》工作时，他精准地向更多的人介绍了中国。
3．选B 段落大意题。第六、七段提到为了更好地报道中国，穆迪读了很多书，并密切关注世界对中国的看法。第八段则描述了他学说普通话，实地走访了中国大部分地区。由此可知，第六至八段主要是讲穆迪如何努力地、更好地报道中国。
4．选D 推理判断题。根据第一段的“British journalist Andrew Moody devoted himself to accurately reporting on China for over a decade”可知，穆迪对工作是投入的，全心全意的；再根据第二段的“Moody's interest in journalism began at age 15.What came next was a storied career that would span four decades”可知，他对新闻报道工作是极其感兴趣的，充满热情的。
语篇解读：本文是一篇议论文，主要论述了随着全球化的发展和人口流动性的大幅增加，传统意义上的“外国人”的概念已发生了根本性的变化，人们需要对此重新定义。
5．选A 句意理解题。分析第一段的内容可知，画线部分表示传统意义上对于“外国人”的定义已经“过期”。由此可知，如今对“外国人”的定义已发生了很大的变化，应重新定义“外国人”一词。
6．选A 推理判断题。根据第一段的内容及第二段中列举一个欧洲人和一个北京人的例子可推出，根据出生地来定义“外国人”已经不合时宜了。
7．选C 推理判断题。根据第三段的内容可推出，当今在芝加哥的亚洲人比20世纪60年代和70年代多。
8．选B 主旨大意题。本文主要叙述了随着全球化的发展和全球人口流动性大幅增加，传统的对“外国人”的定义已发生了巨大的变化，应该重新定义，而且“foreigner”一词贯穿全文。
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了全球化将不同的文化聚集在一起，尽管我们有很多不同，但我们仍然是一样的——我们都是人类。
9．选A 下文由however引出了“文化不仅有多样性”，however表转折，故可推知本句应强调多样性的重要性。故A项“我们的社会最近也强调了多样性的重要性”符合语境。
10．选D 上文介绍了关于诚实的谚语，下文说这些似乎有一种文化统一性，可知本句是在总结上文这些谚语所体现的价值观：诚实。故D项“这些来自四种不同文化的谚语都支持同样的价值观——诚实”符合语境。
11．选E 由上下文语境可知，本句应与上文提到的文化多样性构成转折，引出不同的文化中存在哪些共同价值观，后文则进行了具体列举。故E项“然而，从历史上看，不同的文化似乎有很多共同的价值观”符合语境。
12．选G 上文提到当价值观不一致时，不同的文化可能会对他们有不同程度的重视，本句承接上文，针对这一现象进行具体举例，故G项“例如，一种文化可能更倾向于正义，而另一种文化可能更倾向于仁慈”符合语境且后文both cultures指代G项中“one culture”和“and another culture”。
13．选F 上文提到人们找到了一个共同的理解——人类文化，它超越了种族、社会和政治的界限，本句为本段最后一句，说明尽管人与人有很多不同，但“我们都是人”是一样的，与标题相呼应。故F项“这就好像，尽管我们有很多不同，但我们都是一样的——我们都是人”符合语境。
