抓住话语中的意流指示词
意流指示词是指在句子开头或句子与句子之间具有逻辑关系的某些连词、副词或词组。如yes, sure, certainly, of course, no, sorry, well, not really, why not, but, however, yet, besides等,它们连接的句子或句子成分往往是说话人要强调的内容。
一、语气性意流指示词
其中yes, no, sure, certainly, sorry等是表明说话人态度与反应的语气性意流指示词。根据此类词,我们可以了解说话人的基本态度。一般来说,如果在句子开头听到yes, sure, certainly, of course,表明说话人对某事肯定或赞许;如果是no, not really, sorry, I am afraid,则表明说话人对某事否定或不同意。
[典例1]
Q:Will the man do his homework
A.Yes, he may do it.
B.No, he doesn't want to do it.
C.Yes, he will by all means.
[听力原文]
W:Have you finished your homework yet, Bill
M:No, and I'm not going to.
[分析] 根据男士在回答时出现的“No”,我们即可排除选项中肯定性的答案A、C,而选择与听力原文意思相近的答案B。
[典例2]
Q:What do we learn from the conversation
A.The man saw a film in the cinema.
B.Both of them watched the film on TV last week.
C.The film will be shown on TV next week.
[听力原文]
W:Do you remember the film about Gone with the Wind that was on TV last week
M:Sure.We watched it together.
[分析] 女士问是否记得上周在电视上播放的《乱世佳人》时,男士首先用sure这个肯定性意流指示词,表示同意女士的话题,接着又出现了together,因此很容易确定B为正确答案。
这里需要注意的是,如果对话中一方以Would/Do you mind doing sth.提问,则yes, no的意思与上面所说的意思相反。请看下例:
[典例3]
Q:What does the woman's answer mean
A.She doesn't want him to sit beside her.
B.She doesn't like him at all.
C.Please sit down.
[听力原文]
M:Excuse me, do you mind my sitting here
W:Oh, no, of course not.
[分析] 由于Do you mind doing sth.是“你是否介意”的否定性问句,回答时用“no”,是不介意的意思,表示同意,因此C项为正确答案。如果女士回答时用“yes”,说明她介意,也就是表示反对。
二、转折性意流指示词
but, yet, however, besides等是转折性的意流指示词,其中but出现的频率最高。当话语中出现but一词时,要特别注意but后的内容。因为but前的往往是婉转的客套话(冗余信息),而后面的才是说话者真正的看法(主要信息)。在口语表达中常见的还有to be honest, to tell the truth, in fact, as a matter of fact, actually等。
[典例]
Q:What does the man want to do with the coins
A.He needs them for his bus fare.
B.He lends them to the woman.
C.He buys some things with the coins.
[听力原文]
W:I wonder if you have some change.I want to make a call.
M:I would like to lend you some change, but I have only three coins, and I need them for my bus fare.
[分析] 由男士说的话“but I have ...fare.”可知,他需要用这些硬币坐公交车,故选A。
这样的例子有很多,它们的共同之处都是but(或其他转折性意流指示词)后的内容是回答提问的主要信息。听清其意,选择正确的答案就很容易了。
三、倾向性意流指示词
倾向性意流指示词一般不出现在句首,而是句子中间的动词或助动词词组,如would rather ..., prefer ...to ..., had better, prefer ...rather than ...,表示说话人通过比较与选择,喜欢或情愿采取的某种行为。它们多用于购物、就餐、旅游等存在比较与选择机会的场合。例如,当顾客去商店购物时,售货员常会问:
Which do you prefer, A or B
对话情景提供了A、B两种可供选择的物品,如果选择了A,那么回答时有以下几种说法:
I prefer A to B.
I prefer to take A rather than take B.
I would like A rather than B.
紧跟在prefer, would rather或would like后面的内容是说话人倾向的目标,因此往往是信息的重点。
[典例]
Q:What does the man imply about Marion
A.She doesn't like going shopping.
B.She went shopping yesterday.
C.She doesn't live near the shops.
[听力原文]
W:Didn't Marion go shopping with you yesterday
M:Even if she hadn't had a lot of study, she would have preferred staying home to going shopping.
[分析] 在这个例题中,只要我们把握住prefer A (staying home) to B (going shopping)的句型结构,就会知道Marion的倾向是“待在家里”而不是“去购物”。与此对应的选项是A。

写作项目——Write an argumentative essay on sea exploration
本单元的写作任务是写一篇关于海洋探索的议论文。议论文是以议论为主要表达方式,运用一定的材料通过一定的论证方法来表明自己的立场、观点或态度的文体。议论文一般由论题、论点、论据论证和结论构成。在议论文中,作者先就论题(某一问题或现象)提出论点,然后辅之以相关的论据并在此基础上进行论证,以使读者同意自己的看法,最终得出结论。
由教材学写作
一、学写作架构
阅读课文,总结本课的篇章结构如下:
二、学要点构思
课文采用了PEEL结构,其中P代表Point(观点),E代表Evidence(论据),E代表Explanation(解释),L代表Link(衔接)。如Text 2第一句阐明观点,要更好地了解我们的星球,就必须探索占据地球大部分面积的海洋。紧接着,作者就反对者的担忧提出第一个分论点,即为了更好地理解和解决气候变化等全球问题,我们需要进行海洋探索行动。第二段是第二个分论点,指出海洋探索有利于人类更好地管理资源,并以生物研究、医药开发、地震预测等为例。第三段是第三个分论点,指出海洋探索事关未来的人类生存。第四段,作者再次回应反对意见,突出环保和发展之间需要谋求平衡。
三、学行文逻辑
议论文侧重以严密的推理来揭示事物的本质和规律,表明作者的观点和态度,上下文之间应有密切的逻辑关系。如Text 1在提出分论点后用also, because of, but if, although等进行进一步的分析解释,层次清晰,逻辑严谨。
仿写训练/完成句子
①I admire Tu Youyou a lot ________________________________________ to the world.
我非常钦佩屠呦呦,因为她对世界做出了巨大的贡献。
②________________________ and in bad mood,I still felt warm and happy.
尽管我疲惫且心情不好,但是我依然感受到了温暖和幸福。
③____________________ and keep a positive attitude, the opportunities are limitless.
但如果你下定决心,保持积极的态度,机会是无限的。
四、学论证手法
为使论证更具权威性,增强说服力,议论文的写作中常运用下列手法:
1.举出确凿典型的事实或数据来证明论点,如Text 1 中的“... spilled over 200 million gallons of oil into the sea in 2010”。
2.列举典型的例子进行论证,如Text 2 中的“For example, scientific research ships can help address important issues such as climate change”。
3.运用因果关系进行论证,如Text 1中的“Because of climate change, there is less ice now”。

针对练笔
参考范文:
A lively discussion was held in our class about whether it is better to employ self study or teamwork study. There are different ideas concerning the topic.
55% of the students support self study. Not only can it avoid interruption from others but also it can develop our ability to think independently. Besides, it will be much easier for us to gain a sense of achievement. On the other hand,45% of the students think that teamwork study can help create a more enjoyable learning atmosphere and develop the spirit of cooperation.
From my point of view, both of them have their own advantages and disadvantages, so individuals should choose the learning style that is suitable for themselves.

抓住话语中的意流指示词
意流指示词是指在句子开头或句子与句子之间具有逻辑关系的某些连词、副词或词组。如yes, sure, certainly, of course, no, sorry, well, not really, why not, but, however, yet, besides等,它们连接的句子或句子成分往往是说话人要强调的内容。
一、语气性意流指示词
其中yes, no, sure, certainly, sorry等是表明说话人态度与反应的语气性意流指示词。根据此类词,我们可以了解说话人的基本态度。一般来说,如果在句子开头听到yes, sure, certainly, of course,表明说话人对某事肯定或赞许;如果是no, not really, sorry, I am afraid,则表明说话人对某事否定或不同意。

B.No, he doesn't want to do it.
C.Yes, he will by all means.
[听力原文]
W:Have you finished your homework yet, Bill
M:No, and I'm not going to.
[分析] 根据男士在回答时出现的“No”,我们即可排除选项中肯定性的答案A、C,而选择与听力原文意思相近的答案B。
[典例2]
Q:What do we learn from the conversation
A.The man saw a film in the cinema.
B.Both of them watched the film on TV last week.
C.The film will be shown on TV next week.
[听力原文]
W:Do you remember the film about Gone with the Wind that was on TV last week
M:Sure.We watched it together.
[分析] 女士问是否记得上周在电视上播放的《乱世佳人》时,男士首先用sure这个肯定性意流指示词,表示同意女士的话题,接着又出现了together,因此很容易确定B为正确答案。
这里需要注意的是,如果对话中一方以Would/Do you mind doing sth.提问,则yes, no的意思与上面所说的意思相反。请看下例:

A.She doesn't want him to sit beside her.
B.She doesn't like him at all.
C.Please sit down.
二、转折性意流指示词
but, yet, however, besides等是转折性的意流指示词,其中but出现的频率最高。当话语中出现but一词时,要特别注意but后的内容。因为but前的往往是婉转的客套话(冗余信息),而后面的才是说话者真正的看法(主要信息)。在口语表达中常见的还有to be honest, to tell the truth, in fact, as a matter of fact, actually等。
[典例]
Q:What does the man want to do with the coins
A.He needs them for his bus fare.
B.He lends them to the woman.
C.He buys some things with the coins.
[听力原文]
W:I wonder if you have some change.I want to make a call.
M:I would like to lend you some change, but I have only three coins, and I need them for my bus fare.
[分析] 由男士说的话“but I have ...fare.”可知,他需要用这些硬币坐公交车,故选A。
这样的例子有很多,它们的共同之处都是but(或其他转折性意流指示词)后的内容是回答提问的主要信息。听清其意,选择正确的答案就很容易了。
三、倾向性意流指示词
倾向性意流指示词一般不出现在句首,而是句子中间的动词或助动词词组,如would rather ..., prefer ...to ..., had better, prefer ...rather than ...,表示说话人通过比较与选择,喜欢或情愿采取的某种行为。它们多用于购物、就餐、旅游等存在比较与选择机会的场合。例如,当顾客去商店购物时,售货员常会问:
Which do you prefer, A or B
对话情景提供了A、B两种可供选择的物品,如果选择了A,那么回答时有以下几种说法:
I prefer A to B.
I prefer to take A rather than take B.
I would like A rather than B.
紧跟在prefer, would rather或would like后面的内容是说话人倾向的目标,因此往往是信息的重点。

A.She doesn't like going shopping.
B.She went shopping yesterday.
C.She doesn't live near the shops.
[听力原文]
W:Didn't Marion go shopping with you yesterday
M:Even if she hadn't had a lot of study, she would have preferred staying home to going shopping.
[分析] 在这个例题中,只要我们把握住prefer A (staying home) to B (going shopping)的句型结构,就会知道Marion的倾向是“待在家里”而不是“去购物”。与此对应的选项是A。

写作项目——Write an argumentative essay on sea exploration
本单元的写作任务是写一篇关于海洋探索的议论文。议论文是以议论为主要表达方式,运用一定的材料通过一定的论证方法来表明自己的立场、观点或态度的文体。议论文一般由论题、论点、论据论证和结论构成。在议论文中,作者先就论题(某一问题或现象)提出论点,然后辅之以相关的论据并在此基础上进行论证,以使读者同意自己的看法,最终得出结论。
No.2 促写作/写作增分途径“多仿写”
由教材学写作
一、学写作架构
阅读课文,总结本课的篇章结构如下:
二、学要点构思
课文采用了PEEL结构,其中P代表Point(观点),E代表Evidence(论据),E代表Explanation(解释),L代表Link(衔接)。如Text 2第一句阐明观点,要更好地了解我们的星球,就必须探索占据地球大部分面积的海洋。紧接着,作者就反对者的担忧提出第一个分论点,即为了更好地理解和解决气候变化等全球问题,我们需要进行海洋探索行动。第二段是第二个分论点,指出海洋探索有利于人类更好地管理资源,并以生物研究、医药开发、地震预测等为例。第三段是第三个分论点,指出海洋探索事关未来的人类生存。第四段,作者再次回应反对意见,突出环保和发展之间需要谋求平衡。
三、学行文逻辑
议论文侧重以严密的推理来揭示事物的本质和规律,表明作者的观点和态度,上下文之间应有密切的逻辑关系。如Text 1在提出分论点后用also, because of, but if, although等进行进一步的分析解释,层次清晰,逻辑严谨。
仿写训练/完成句子
①I admire Tu Youyou a lot _____________________________ to the world.
我非常钦佩屠呦呦,因为她对世界做出了巨大的贡献。
②__________________ and in bad mood,I still felt warm and happy.
尽管我疲惫且心情不好,但是我依然感受到了温暖和幸福。
because of her great contributions
Although I was tired
③_______________________ and keep a positive attitude, the opportunities are limitless.
但如果你下定决心,保持积极的态度,机会是无限的。
But if you stay determined
四、学论证手法
为使论证更具权威性,增强说服力,议论文的写作中常运用下列手法:
1.举出确凿典型的事实或数据来证明论点,如Text 1 中的“... spilled over 200 million gallons of oil into the sea in 2010”。
2.列举典型的例子进行论证,如Text 2 中的“For example, scientific research ships can help address important issues such as climate change”。
3.运用因果关系进行论证,如Text 1中的“Because of climate change, there is less ice now”。

[针对练笔]
最近,你班同学就“Is it better to employ self-study or teamwork study?”进行了讨论,大家观点不一。请你写一篇短文,介绍此次讨论的情况并阐述自己的看法,然后发表在校报上。
参考范文:
A lively discussion was held in our class about whether it is better to employ self-study or teamwork study. There are different ideas concerning the topic.
55% of the students support self-study. Not only can it avoid interruption from others but also it can develop our ability to think independently. Besides, it will be much easier for us to gain a sense of achievement.
On the other hand,45% of the students think that teamwork study can help create a more enjoyable learning atmosphere and develop the spirit of cooperation.
From my point of view, both of them have their own advantages and disadvantages, so individuals should choose the learning style that is suitable for themselves.

Good morning, everyone!
Recent years have witnessed the serious damage to the marine ecosystem and the extinction of many creatures in the sea, about which the whole world is deeply concerned.
For one thing, people should be aware of the importance of protecting the ocean. As a matter of fact, to protect the ocean is to protect human beings. For another, it is urgent that the government should take immediate measures to keep the balance of the marine ecosystem. I'm sure that only by raising our awareness of environmental protection and making great efforts can we solve the problem.

阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一篇完整的故事。
Tim and his father were sailing at sea. He tried to remember all the sailing knowledge his father taught. However, it wasn't easy for him. He could only master the skills to tie ropes and wear a life jacket in case of emergency.
Tim pulled in the sail (帆) of the boat over his head successfully. He looked back at his father, hoping for a smile or a nod. But his dad was looking up at the sail, not at him. Tim enjoyed sailing with his father, but he also felt nervous and different from his confident father.
Suddenly, the wind was blowing angrily. He put on his life jacket nervously. By comparison, his father never wore a life jacket, for he had been swimming and sailing for his entire life.
“Tim, can you take the helm (方向盘) for a minute?” his father asked, “Just keep it going straight. I'll run up to the back of the boat to check something.” Considering the changing weather, Tim hesitated, but he didn't want to see the familiar disapproving look on his father's face. “Uh, sure,” he replied and went to hold the helm tightly.
Suddenly, the wind shifted direction and the boat heeled (倾斜) so sharply that it might turn over. Tim knew he had to let some air out of the sail to help right the boat, but he would have to let go of the helm to do that.
He looked back for his father, but the sail blocked his view. “Dad!” he called, but the wind swallowed his voice. His heart was pounding in his ears. The boat began to heel more. Tim knew he had to act fast. He held the helm with one hand and used the other hand to reach for the mainsail line, trying to loosen it. After a few attempts, he managed to let the air out of the sail. The boat quickly righted itself.
Tim gave a sigh of relief. Then he looked around for his father. But there was no sign of him.
注意:1.续写词数应为80左右;
2.请根据“水里有东西——Tim发现父亲落水——Tim营救父亲——父亲爬上船”,描写营救落水的父亲的过程。
Suddenly, he saw a flash of something in the water._________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
参考范文:
Suddenly, he saw a flash of something in the water. Much to his surprise, the figure in the water was his father! Thoughts raced through his mind, but he struggled to maintain his composure. Tim reached the rope that his father had used to teach him sailing knots. As he recited the trick his father taught him, he formed the knot and pulled it tight. He knew that his father's life depended on his ability to throw the knot accurately. Focused and determined, he tied one end of the rope onto the boat and aimed the knot at his father. His father finally climbed back into the boat with Tim's help. Exhausted and shaken, his father's face was pale, but relief spread across it as he hugged Tim tightly.

With roaring ships, hammering oil drill, industrial fishing and coastal construction, humans have strongly influenced the underwater soundscape (声音景观) over the past couple of hundred years — in some cases posting a threat to whales, dolphins and other ocean creatures. Until recently, underwater sound pollution had not attracted the same attention. Now, a new paper published in the journal Science lays out the impacts, demonstrating that noise pollution can be just as harmful to the ocean environment as other kinds of pollution.
Even the cracking of glaciers and any drop of rain falling on the water's surface can be heard deep under the sea. Sea life uses sound to study their habitat, and to keep in communication with each other. They also use sound by listening to know something about their environment.
“It's a long-lasting problem that certainly weakens the animals all the way from individuals to populations,” says lead author Carlos M. Duarte, distinguished professor at Saudi Arabia's King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST), “We are hoping that this report will not only reveal elements of how humans impact the ocean through sound pollution, but that it will also bring the topic to the attention of policymakers who will be able to act based upon the very real solutions.”
Marine (海洋的) ecologist Kirsten Thompson of the United Kingdom's University of Exeter, who was not involved in the study, said the report could not have come at a better time. “It summarizes the fact that we are in this new phase of human-caused noise in our oceans that is having a dramatic impact on different species.” What matters most, she notes, is the fact that the paper “doesn't just point at the problem, but it shows how to solve it”.
Unlike plastic pollution or fertilizer runoff, noise pollution will not take years to fix. The moment we switch our noise off the impact disappears, Duarte says, pointing to marine life surveys conducted around April 5, 2020. Having the world use more renewable energy would lessen the need to drill for oil and gas. The international team of researchers also called for a global regulatory framework for measuring and managing ocean noise.
