用“内容细节巧判断”法解答文章出处题
对于此类题目,学生可以从各类文章的内容或细节并结合不同类别文章的特点作出判断。如:旅游景点的介绍→travel guide;科普知识→science report;推销介绍新产品→advertisement;文化教育类文章→education section;文章中有click here等网络用语→website;文章前面有日期、地点或通讯社名称→newspaper;时尚、名人或娱乐方面的介绍→magazine/journal。本文主要讲述了John Snow为战胜霍乱病毒所做的科学研究。故第5题应选A项。
(二)阅读表达
1.What qualities do you need to be a scientist
2.Why was it John Snow, not other doctors, who defeated “King Cholera”?
3.In order not to get infected with disease, what should we pay attention to in our daily life
内化读文技法
本文的语篇类型为叙事记叙文。这类记叙文多以时间顺序或空间顺序来行文。本文属于以时间顺序展开的叙事性记叙文,其暗线是科学家John Snow战胜霍乱病毒的科学研究步骤。读文时可以按照事件发展的开始、中间和结尾三个阶段来理清事件的行文顺序。本文第一段介绍了研究的背景;第二段则是提出问题和假设;第三段是研究过程;第四段是得出结论;第五段指出了John Snow的研究方法对科学家们研究疾病具有现实意义。
(一)赏用词之妙
1.However, he never lost his desire to destroy cholera once and for all.
赏析:句中的否定副词never加强了句子的语气, 反映了John Snow的坚毅品格和执着精神。其他表示突出和强调作用的否定副词(短语)还有:not, no, none, nobody, nothing, neither ...nor, nowhere等。
2.Snow suspected that the water pump was to blame.What is more, in another part of London, a woman and her daughter had died of cholera after moving away from Broad Street.
赏析:句中What is more意为“而且; 更重要的是”,它与前一句是递进关系。作为常用的过渡语,它能很好地推动叙事或故事情节的发展。在本句中,它的使用也表明了John Snow研究的科学严谨性。
仿写训练/翻译句子
①他从未错过任何一个变得更强的机会。
②更重要的是,一些中国著名音乐家将为我们演出。
(二)赏句式之高
1.It seemed that the woman liked the water from the pump so much that she had it delivered to her house every day.
赏析:句中使用了嵌套式从句,主句使用了“it seemed that ...”式的主语从句,从句中又使用了“so ...that ...”式的结果状语从句。这种嵌套式从句使叙述更加简洁,表意更加严谨。
2.The people who drank this water were much more likely to get cholera than those who drank pure or boiled water.
赏析:本句使用了嵌套式从句,主从句中都包含了who引导的定语从句,它们分别修饰先行词The people和those。本句简洁明晰地表明了John Snow的调查结果。
仿写训练
①(句式转换)Seemingly, some students would like to start work early and thus they can help offer their parents better lives.(用嵌套式从句改写)
→________________ some students would like to start work ____________ they can help offer their parents better lives.
②(完成句子)Scientific study shows people ____________________ before taking a math test did better than ____________________________________.
科学研究表明,在数学考试前获得充足睡眠的人比那些通宵学习的人表现得更好。
(三)赏衔接之顺
1.Snow began by marking on a map ...However, ...What is more, ...Accordingly, ...
赏析:文中第三段是John Snow的调查过程,该段使用了“however, what is more, accordingly”等句间衔接语,它们使叙述更有逻辑性,层次更加清晰。
2.Through Snow's tireless efforts, ...However, ...Moreover, ...For this reason, ....
赏析:文中最后一段是调查结果与John Snow取得的成就,该段使用了“however, moreover, for this reason”等句间衔接语,它们使表达富有逻辑,衔接紧密,意思连贯。
(四)赏结尾之翘
Moreover, in his use of maps and statistics, Snow transformed the way scientists study diseases.For this reason, Snow is considered the father of modern epidemiology.
赏析:此处是文章的结尾部分,这两句概括了科学家John Snow的伟大成就。叙事记叙文的结尾大都是对人物的成就进行概括性评价。这种方法也可以用于介绍人物的应用文写作。
He was very diligent and also believed that ①________________________________ (天才是百分之一的灵感加上百分之九十九的汗水).All these explained ②____________________________ (为什么他有这么多伟大的发明,并且他所做的一切激励着我在工作中发挥创造力).
科学无国界。我国老一辈科学家从国外学成归来,为新中国的崛起勤奋工作,无私奉献,奋斗不止。他们的事迹可歌可泣、感人至深。其中我国光学之父——王大珩就是一位杰出的代表。现在就让我们一起来看看他感人的事迹和对我国光学事业作出的巨大贡献吧!
Wang Daheng, the Father of Chinese Optics (光学)
In 1949, the field of applied optical science didn't exist in China.Understanding its importance for national strength, the Chinese government paid much attention to optical research.
Wang Daheng, a respected optical physicist, devoted his whole life to this cause.He kept watching on the development of China's first piece of optical glass, first electronic microscope, first laser device, and first large-size optical measuring equipment, and helped to found the Chinese Academy of Engineering.He is called the Father of Chinese Optics.
As a teenager, Wang Daheng often followed his father to the observatory and became greatly interested in the apparatus (仪器) there.In 1936, he graduated from Tsinghua University with a degree in physics.Two years later, he won a government scholarship to study in England.After earning his master's degree from Imperial College London in 1940, he began his doctoral studies in optical physics and technology.
In 1948, Wang gave up his established career and comfortable life in the West and returned to his motherland with the aim of empowering (增强某人的自主权) it through science and technology.At the time China did not have the capability to produce optical measuring equipment on its own.In 1951, Wang was instructed to found an institute of fine mechanics and was appointed its first president.Within less than two years, Wang and his team produced the first group of China-made optical glass.Over the following six years, they went on to develop the country's first electronic microscope, first high-precision theodolite (经纬仪), first optical rangefinder, and five other optical devices, laying the foundation for China's precise optical instrument industry.In 1961, they independently developed the ruby laser in China.In addition to scientific research, Wang advanced the study of optics in higher education.
nuclear bombs, missiles, and man-made satellites.In 1970, China successfully launched the When the satellite returned to Earth, the devices they designed brought back clear images of our home planet as seen from outer space for the first time.
To close the technological gap between China and developed countries, Wang and three other 1986, which led to the famous 863 Program.
In 1992, Wang and a group of other scientists called for the creation of the Chinese Academy of Engineering.In the following years, he won many honors from the state.He passed away in Beijing aged 96 on July 21, 2011 after living a full and fruitful life.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
In 2015, Professor Wang Zhenyi, who specializes in treating Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia (APL) (急性早幼粒细胞白血病), received a letter of thanks from America.The writer of the letter was Mrs Berna-dette Giandomenico, who once suffered from APL but was cured with All-Trans-Retinoic Acid (ATRA) (全反式维甲酸), a treatment developed by Wang and his medical team.
Working at Ruijin Hospital, Wang has been devoting his life to the treatment of leukemia.He received the country's highest honor in science and technology in 2010.
Born in 1924 in Shanghai, Wang was inspired by a family friend's experience of pursuing a career in medicine as a child.His grandmother's death caused by typhoid further strengthened his resolve to fight against diseases and rescue patients.With outstanding academic performance, Wang became a doctor at Guangci Hospital, today's Ruijin Hospital.
In 1978, a research paper from Israeli experts gave Wang inspiration on studying how leukemia cells could become normal.His research didn't progress as expected, though.In 1983, another research paper shed light on his study.As the paper suggested, after being treated with 13-cis-retinoic acid, white blood cells in patients with APL could become normal.Considering the difficulties and high cost of producing a drug made from 13-cis-retinoic acid, Wang's team decided
to replace that ingredient with ATRA, and they finally verified its positive effect after several months' experiments.In 1986, the drug was first adopted in treating a five-year-old patient.It turned out successful.After eight years of research, Wang's team eventually made the first breakthrough in the battle against APL.
To make sure every APL patient could afford the medicine, Wang has not patented his research result to date.“One cannot be a real doctor if one does not have expertise in medicine,” Wang said in an interview.“However, without a kind heart, a skilled doctor may cause harm to patients.”
Having worked in the field of hematopathology (血液病理学) for over 70 years, Wang has been well recognized for his remarkable contribution to saving lives.
语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要介绍了获得国家科学技术最高荣誉的王振义医生的个人经历以及他对白血病的研究过程。他在血液病理学领域工作了70多年,为挽救生命做出了卓越的贡献。

Anyone who has ever taken chemistry has studied the periodic table (元素周期表).Most people who have memorized the elements in the periodic table have probably not given any thought to who created it.In 1869,Dmitri Mendeleev published the very first periodic table.Although there were a few people who attempted to create a periodic table,Mendeleev's table was the most complete of all of them.
Dmitri Mendeleev was born on February 8, 1834 in Tobolsk Governorate,the Russian Empire.His father was a teacher of philosophy and fine arts.Mendeleev was the youngest of more than a dozen children.His father lost his teaching position when he became blind.His mother had to go to work to support the family by restarting the family glass factory.
That worked out until Dmitri Mendeleev was 15, when the factory burned down.As a teenager,Mendeleev was educated at Main Pedagogical Institute in Saint Petersburg, Russia.As a 21-year-old in 1855,he wrote a textbook called Organic Chemistry and won the Demidov Prize, making him a major leader in the world of Russian chemistry education.Mendeleev earned a Master's degree in chemistry in 1856.
On April 4,1862, right after he wrote his first book, Dmitri Mendeleev proposed (求婚) to Feozva Nikitichna Leshcheva.The couple got married three weeks later at a church in Saint Petersburg.They ended their marriage nine years later after having a daughter.Nearly 20 years after he married his first wife,he got married to Anna Ivanova Popova.Mendeleev had four children from his marriage to Anna Popova Mendeleev.A couple of years before his
death,Dmitri Mendeleev was awarded membership of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.Despite many scientists who worked on their own periodic tables ahead of Mendeleev, he has gone down in history as the father of the periodic table.
语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。文章介绍了发明元素周期表的科学家门捷列夫的生平。
5.What do we know about Dmitri Mendeleev's family from the text

7.When did Dmitri Mendeleev become a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences
A.Right after he wrote his first book.
B.Before he got married to Feozva Nikitichna Leshcheva.
C.Nine years after his first daughter was born.
D.Several years before his death.
√

8.What is the main idea of the text
A.The process of Dmitri Mendeleev's creation of the periodic table.
B.The whole life of Dmitri Mendeleev.
C.Dmitri Mendeleev's contribution to the Russian chemistry society.
D.The effect of the periodic table on chemistry.
√
解析:主旨大意题。通读全文可知,本文介绍了“元素周期表之父”门捷列夫的生平。
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
How to become a scientist

In 2015, Professor Wang Zhenyi, who specializes in treating Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia (APL) (急性早幼粒细胞白血病), received a letter of thanks from America.The writer of the letter was Mrs Berna dette Giandomenico, who once suffered from APL but was cured with All Trans Retinoic Acid (ATRA) (全反式维甲酸), a treatment developed by Wang and his medical team.
Working at Ruijin Hospital, Wang has been devoting his life to the treatment of leukemia.He received the country's highest honor in science and technology in 2010.
Born in 1924 in Shanghai, Wang was inspired by a family friend's experience of pursuing a career in medicine as a child.His grandmother's death caused by typhoid further strengthened his resolve to fight against diseases and rescue patients.With outstanding academic performance, Wang became a doctor at Guangci Hospital, today's Ruijin Hospital.
In 1978, a research paper from Israeli experts gave Wang inspiration on studying how leukemia cells could become normal.His research didn't progress as expected, though.In 1983, another research paper shed light on his study.As the paper suggested, after being treated with 13 cis retinoic acid, white blood cells in patients with APL could become normal.Considering the difficulties and high cost of producing a drug made from 13 cis retinoic acid, Wang's team decided to replace that ingredient with ATRA, and they finally verified its positive effect after several months' experiments.In 1986, the drug was first adopted in treating a five year old patient.It turned out successful.After eight years of research, Wang's team eventually made the first breakthrough in the battle against APL.
To make sure every APL patient could afford the medicine, Wang has not patented his research result to date.“One cannot be a real doctor if one does not have expertise in medicine,” Wang said in an interview.“However, without a kind heart, a skilled doctor may cause harm to patients.”
Having worked in the field of hematopathology (血液病理学) for over 70 years, Wang has been well recognized for his remarkable contribution to saving lives.

Anyone who has ever taken chemistry has studied the periodic table (元素周期表).Most people who have memorized the elements in the periodic table have probably not given any thought to who created it.In 1869,Dmitri Mendeleev published the very first periodic table.Although there were a few people who attempted to create a periodic table,Mendeleev's table was the most complete of all of them.
Dmitri Mendeleev was born on February 8, 1834 in Tobolsk Governorate,the Russian Empire.His father was a teacher of philosophy and fine arts.Mendeleev was the youngest of more than a dozen children.His father lost his teaching position when he became blind.His mother had to go to work to support the family by restarting the family glass factory.
That worked out until Dmitri Mendeleev was 15, when the factory burned down.As a teenager,Mendeleev was educated at Main Pedagogical Institute in Saint Petersburg, Russia.As a 21 year old in 1855,he wrote a textbook called Organic Chemistry and won the Demidov Prize, making him a major leader in the world of Russian chemistry education.Mendeleev earned a Master's degree in chemistry in 1856.
On April 4, 1862, right after he wrote his first book, Dmitri Mendeleev proposed (求婚) to Feozva Nikitichna Leshcheva.The couple got married three weeks later at a church in Saint Petersburg.They ended their marriage nine years later after having a daughter.Nearly 20 years after he married his first wife,he got married to Anna Ivanova Popova.Mendeleev had four children from his marriage to Anna Popova Mendeleev.A couple of years before his death,Dmitri Mendeleev was awarded membership of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences.Despite many scientists who worked on their own periodic tables ahead of Mendeleev, he has gone down in history as the father of the periodic table.
5.What do we know about Dmitri Mendeleev's family from the text
A.His father was a chemistry teacher.
B.His mother became blind later.
C.Their factory burned down when Dmitri Mendeleev was 21.
D.Dmitri Mendeleev was from a big family.
6.What made Dmitri Mendeleev a major leader in Russian chemistry education
A.He created the periodic table.
B.His textbook won the Demidov Prize.
C.He earned a Master's degree in chemistry.
D.His first book was published.
7.When did Dmitri Mendeleev become a member of the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences
A.Right after he wrote his first book.
B.Before he got married to Feozva Nikitichna Leshcheva.
C.Nine years after his first daughter was born.
D.Several years before his death.
8.What is the main idea of the text
A.The process of Dmitri Mendeleev's creation of the periodic table.
B.The whole life of Dmitri Mendeleev.
C.Dmitri Mendeleev's contribution to the Russian chemistry society.
D.The effect of the periodic table on chemistry.
