内化读文技法
透过动作和心理描写剖析人物性格
两篇文章的语篇类型都属于写人记叙文。这类文章通过具体事例中人物的言行举止、心理活动及细节描写展现人物的性格特点和思想品质，使人物形象跃然纸上，便于读者了解。如第二篇文章通过描写Graham把书包在身后拖着，一副百无聊赖的样子，可以判断出他对各科不擅长且毫无兴趣、懒散调皮、缺乏自信。而后描写做实验时他全神贯注的样子，可以判断出他开始对学习产生兴趣，为下文他作出的成就做好铺垫。读文时应重点关注人物的动作和心理描写，分析人物的性格，加深对文章的理解。
(一)赏用词之妙
1．One day, he took us outside, and we built a rocket! I remember that he let me pour some fuel into the rocket，and then another student lit a match to set it off. It was great fun.
赏析：本段通过使用took、built等动词，叙述了老师带领学生到室外制作火箭的过程；使用pour、lit等动词，生动地描绘了学生们为火箭添加燃料和点燃火箭的过程。这些动词的连用能够让读者更好地理解制作火箭的细节和过程，从而产生更深的感触和理解。
2．The first day he walked into my class, he was dragging his schoolbag behind him and looking bored, but as soon as I set up an experiment to show how the human stomach works using acid and an onion, he gave me his full attention.
赏析：本段使用了动词dragging及looking bored描绘了Graham刚进入教室时的状态，他看起来很无聊，可能对即将开始的课程没有兴趣。使用gave me his full attention描绘了他对实验的关注和充满兴趣的神态，让读者更好地理解他的性格和情感状态，增加了故事情节的张力。

①She ________________ and the warm glow ________________， creating a cozy atmosphere in the room.
她点燃了蜡烛，温暖的烛光倾泻而出，为房间营造出温馨的氛围。
②I ________________________________________________________________________
and followed the group.
我拖着巨大的行李箱，跟在人群后面。
(二)赏句式之高
1．Sometimes I think, if only I could call him and ask for his opinion!
赏析：if only表示“要是……多好啊”，表达一种愿望和假设，从句用虚拟语气。此处表达格雷厄姆对老师的思念和信任。
2．The thing about being a teacher is that you have access to children's minds when they are open and eager to learn.
赏析：这是一个主从复合句。that引导的是表语从句，该从句中又包含when引导的时间状语从句。该句介绍了詹金斯先生的教学理念。
3．If what I do as a teacher can help turn a child like Graham into such a successful adult, then I know what I'm doing is worthwhile.
赏析：本句主干是I know ...，if引导条件状语从句，在从句中又包含一个what引导主语从句，what在从句中作宾语；主句中what引导宾语从句，what在从句中作宾语。

①If only all the people in the world loved peace!
________________________________________________________________________
②The most important thing is ______________________________， you'd better bring a raincoat with you.
最重要的是当你出去的时候，你最好带一件雨衣。
(三)赏逻辑之巧
1．Before Mr Jenkins taught me, science had simply been a subject full of strange words to me. I had no idea what hydrogen was, and I didn't really want to know, either! I found it all so boring and difficult. But Mr Jenkins made everything interesting.
赏析：本段使用了before引导的时间状语从句，展现了格雷厄姆在遇见詹金斯先生前后的巨大变化。恰当地运用了过去时和过去完成时具体地说明他前后的变化，同时使用了转折连词but突出了詹金斯先生对他的影响。
2．However, I have not done as well with all my students as I have with Graham.
赏析：本段使用了转折词however引出与前文相反的情况，即尽管詹金斯先生在教育格雷厄姆方面做得很好，但在对其他学生的教育上做得可能并不是都那么好。常见的表示转折的过渡词还有：but、yet、still、in fact、as a matter of fact、despite、in spite of等。

(四)赏修辞之功
As John Dewey, the famous educationalist, said, “Education is not preparation for life；education is life itself.”
赏析：文章使用了引用的修辞手法，引述名人的话语，表明了教育方法对学生的重要性，增强了说服力。
[仿写训练] (完成句子)
People say， “ ” I guess this was a good beginning to my new school life.,人们说：“好的开始是成功的一半。”我想这是我新的学校生活的一个良好开端。
在学生的成长过程中，教师的教育对其影响很大。一个优秀的教师不仅能够传授知识，更能激发学生的潜能，点燃他们内心的火焰，用智慧和爱心引导学生发现自我，追求卓越，培养独立思考和解决问题的能力。教师对学生的影响深远而持久，有时甚至能改变学生的人生轨迹。因此，一个好的老师是学生成长道路上不可或缺的重要力量。
， the first words my math teacher, Ms Whitney, began with were “kindness” and “homework”. You must be feeling what I felt then: Why would homework, such an exhausting and difficult existence for students, be connected with anything good
, Ms Whitney began to explain in her gentle but authoritative voice: “Homework is the inference you have for your teacher, your classmates, and yourself. It provides you the precious opportunity to grow and learn. When others can't solve a problem, and you get a solution, you can do them a favor. There's a positive relationship between them.”
the two words had faded away. Homework promotes kindness, and kindness in turn creates an atmosphere that encourages everyone to practice their skills. It is a cycle of positivity.
Ms Whitney proved the truth behind those words during the following days. Every day, we were assigned into groups and made to stand next to each other, working on problems that came like a never ending rapids. In a classroom mostly filled with friendly discussion and Ms Whitney's cheerful voice calling out, “Kindness and Homework！” . Math class didn't feel as boring or tiring as it was before.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
At the beginning of Grade Two, I joined the cross-country running team in our school.
When I came to the first practice, I was filled with optimism. But as the distance we ran in each practice gradually increased from three to four, to six miles, I realized with surprise that no matter how hard I tried, I wasn't able to run as fast as others. In fact, I was one of the slowest on the team.
What was the point of putting myself through so much pain After the first few weeks, I wanted to quit.
Then we had our first cross-country meet.
When we started the race, I felt the great pressure of expectations sink onto my shoulders. And after a while I stopped running and struggled to walk up the hill. But then I heard my coaches shouting my name from the top of the hill. I felt confused and embarrassed; why were they cheering for me I was running terribly! As I tried my best to finish the race, I realized that my coaches didn't care how fast I ran. Neither did my teammates. During the rest of the season, they were always on the sidelines of every race, cheering for me just as loudly as they'd cheered for the front runner.
From then on, I began to put my effort into supporting my teammates instead of focusing on my own performance. In that way, I celebrated my teammates' victories as if they were my own; I felt their pain and exhaustion as if they were my own.
Cross-country running made me realize I don't need to be the best to be successful in life. It taught me to value my relationships with people more than my relationship with my ego. It taught me to cheer for others even if I don't know their names.

For 85 years, the Harvard Study of Adult Development has tracked an original group of 724 men and more than 1,300 of their male and female descendants (后代) over three generations, asking thousands of questions and taking hundreds of measurements to find out what really keeps people healthy and happy.
Through all the years of studying these lives, one crucial factor stands out for the consistency and power of its bond to physical health, mental health and longevity: good relationships.
In 2008, researchers telephoned the wives and husbands of Harvard Study couples in their 80s every night for eight nights. Researchers spoke to each partner separately and asked them a series of questions about their days.
On days when these men and women spent more time in the company of others, they were happier. Like most older people, those in the Harvard Study experienced day-to-day rises and falls in their levels of physical pain and health difficulties. But researchers found that the people who were in more satisfying relationships were cushioned (缓冲) somewhat from these ups and downs of mood — their happiness did not decline as much on the days when they had more pain. Simply put, their happy marriages seemed to have a protective effect.
Elizabeth Gillespie, a therapist of couples, stated that although most of us found that our experience of relationships might be hard, and at times, impossible, it is essential to our well-being.
Today we live in much more complicated environments, so meeting our social needs presents different challenges. We might be sitting on a gold mine of vitality that we are not paying attention to, because it is hidden by the shiny appeal of smartphones or pushed to the side by work demands.

Improve Your Relationships
Having stable and positive relationships in your life can make you happier and more fulfilled. Whether it's your friends, family, or significant other, improving a relationship can sometimes be confusing. 9
Express your appreciation for the person.
10 Notice the positive things that the person is doing and go out of your way to show your appreciation for them. You can also show your appreciation by remembering important events like anniversaries or birthdays.
11
If you hardly see each other or talk to each other, it can be difficult to maintain a relationship. Take extra time out of your day and devote it to the person that you want to improve relations with. Try to work around the other person's schedule so that you can spend the time together. You can share a meal, watch a show, listen to music, or go shopping with them.
Turn off distractions.
Distractions like a cell phone, social media, or video games can create a division in between you and another person. If you notice that you are always distracted, you should turn off your cell phone or computer and talk to them. 12
Seek therapy (心理治疗) if you can't get along.
To fix or improve family relationships or relationships with your significant other, you can turn to therapy. If you notice that you and the person are always arguing over the same kinds of things, and nothing has worked, you should consider seeking therapy with them. 13 And family therapy may be able to restore bonds between family members.
A．Spend more time with the person.
B．Maintain a relationship if possible.
C．People often like to be praised for achievements.
D．A specialist can help solve long-term issues in the relationship.
E．If they are the one always distracted, ask them if they can do the same.
F．Follow the tips and you can develop good relationships with your family.
G．Luckily, by adjusting your behaviour, you can improve any relationship in your life.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了几条通过调整个人行为来改善生活中各种关系的建议。
9．解析：选G 根据前文中的“confusing”以及后文小标题“Express your appreciation for the person.”等具体建议可知，空处应提出做出改变的建议。故G项“幸运的是，通过调整你的行为，你可以改善你生活中的任何关系”符合语境，起到承上启下的过渡作用。

At the beginning of Grade Two, I joined the cross country running team in our school.
When I came to the first practice, I was filled with optimism. But as the distance we ran in each practice gradually increased from three to four, to six miles, I realized with surprise that no matter how hard I tried, I wasn't able to run as fast as others. In fact, I was one of the slowest on the team.
What was the point of putting myself through so much pain After the first few weeks, I wanted to quit.
Then we had our first cross country meet.
When we started the race, I felt the great pressure of expectations sink onto my shoulders. And after a while I stopped running and struggled to walk up the hill. But then I heard my coaches shouting my name from the top of the hill. I felt confused and embarrassed; why were they cheering for me I was running terribly! As I tried my best to finish the race, I realized that my coaches didn't care how fast I ran. Neither did my teammates. During the rest of the season, they were always on the sidelines of every race, cheering for me just as loudly as they'd cheered for the front runner.
From then on, I began to put my effort into supporting my teammates instead of focusing on my own performance. In that way, I celebrated my teammates' victories as if they were my own; I felt their pain and exhaustion as if they were my own.
Cross country running made me realize I don't need to be the best to be successful in life. It taught me to value my relationships with people more than my relationship with my ego. It taught me to cheer for others even if I don't know their names.

For 85 years, the Harvard Study of Adult Development has tracked an original group of 724 men and more than 1,300 of their male and female descendants (后代) over three generations, asking thousands of questions and taking hundreds of measurements to find out what really keeps people healthy and happy.
Through all the years of studying these lives, one crucial factor stands out for the consistency and power of its bond to physical health, mental health and longevity: good relationships.
In 2008, researchers telephoned the wives and husbands of Harvard Study couples in their 80s every night for eight nights. Researchers spoke to each partner separately and asked them a series of questions about their days.
On days when these men and women spent more time in the company of others, they were happier. Like most older people, those in the Harvard Study experienced day to day rises and falls in their levels of physical pain and health difficulties. But researchers found that the people who were in more satisfying relationships were cushioned (缓冲) somewhat from these ups and downs of mood — their happiness did not decline as much on the days when they had more pain. Simply put, their happy marriages seemed to have a protective effect.
Elizabeth Gillespie, a therapist of couples, stated that although most of us found that our experience of relationships might be hard, and at times, impossible, it is essential to our well being.
Today we live in much more complicated environments, so meeting our social needs presents different challenges. We might be sitting on a gold mine of vitality that we are not paying attention to, because it is hidden by the shiny appeal of smartphones or pushed to the side by work demands.

6．How did the researchers carry out the study
A．By working with other researchers.
B．By tracking specific groups of people.
C．By helping participants with social difficulties.
D．By comparing the results from different people.
7．Why did the author mention the examples in Paragraph 4
A．To provide evidence for the bond of health and longevity.
B．To introduce the concept of physical pain and health difficulties.
C．To show the negative impact of unhappy marriages on older people's mood.
D．To support the positive impact of satisfying relationships on people's lives.
8．According to Elizabeth Gillespie, what is essential to our well being
A．Having good social connections.
