分析人物性格,把握小说思想
本篇课文节选自法国小说家儒勒·凡尔纳的代表作20,000 Leagues Under the Sea(《海底两万里》)。本文按照事件发生的顺序对主人公遇到潜艇的经历进行了描述,主要描述了主人公“我”,一个教授,从船上掉入海中后,意外被水中一艘看似海中巨大怪物的潜水艇救下、带走的一个留有悬念的故事。故事中有大量的对话描写和动作描写,突出了主要角色的性格特点,表现了人类对未知世界的探索精神,以及勇敢面对困境和挑战的冒险精神。
(一)赏用词之妙
1.The crash was so violent that I have no clear recollection of falling from the boat.
赏析:句中的“recollection”意为“回忆”,为高级用词,更加形象地描绘出主人公回忆时的状态。
2.Near one o'clock in the morning, I suddenly felt terribly tired.
赏析:句中副词“terribly”比“very”高级,强调主人公极度劳累的状况。副词作状语,常用来修饰形容词、动词或整个句子,用来加强程度。
[仿写训练] (用高级词汇完成句子)
①I ____________________ meeting her before.
我不记得以前见过她。
②______________________ and I started to feel strange.
天气很热,我开始感到奇怪。
(二)赏句式之高
1.The blow produced a sound of metal; and, incredible though it may be, it seemed as if it was made of metal plates.
赏析:本句是并列句。and前面是一个简单句,后面是主从复合句。从句是though引导的让步状语从句,使用了倒装结构,强调这件事是难以置信的。主句使用了it seemed as if表达一种猜测。
2.Some moments after, eight strong men, their faces covered, appeared noiselessly, and drew us down into their incredible machine.
赏析:本句是简单句。句中的their faces covered是独立主格结构,形象地表达了八个壮汉出现的样子。并列连词and连接两个连续的动作,为故事情节制造悬念。
[仿写训练] (用高级句式完成句子)
①The wind was blowing hard; and ________________________________, ________________ they had no intention of backing down.
风刮得很大,虽然天气很恶劣,但他们似乎没有要退缩的意思。
②________________,Father left the kitchen, promising to keep their secret.
一切安排妥当,爸爸离开厨房,答应保密。
(三)赏逻辑之巧
At this moment a hard body struck me.I held onto it; then I felt that I was being drawn up, that I was brought to the surface of the water, that my chest collapsed — my eyes closed, unconscious.I soon woke up, and half opened my eyes.I saw a face which I immediately recognised.“Ned!” I cried.
赏析:本段重点描述了“我”被救的过程。开头用At this moment恰当说明当时发生的事情,且给人身临其境的感觉。then说明事情接下来的发展。用三个that引导的宾语从句连续描述了一系列动作和状态,增强了紧张感和情节的连贯性。破折号后面又进一步表明了结果。紧接着用soon来表明不久又发生的事情。
[仿写训练] (完成语段)
At this moment ①______________________.I felt that ②____________________, that ③____________, that I ④____________ — I collapsed, unconscious.I soon woke up and found myself in the hospital.
就在这时,一块大石头砸到了我。我觉得我的头很痛,我的胳膊断了,我受了重伤——我倒下了,失去了知觉。我很快醒来,发现自己在医院里。
(四)赏修辞之功
1.Might I hope to be saved
赏析:此处使用了设问。这一修辞手法可以引起读者注意,启发读者思考。
2.“Why, Ned, why?”
赏析:简短的问句中使用了两个“why”,这种重复的修辞手法突出强调了说话者急于想知道答案的心情。
[仿写训练] (完成句子并体会修辞手法的运用)
①I have met all kinds of roads.________________________________________
我见过的路很多。这条路通向哪儿呢?
②“______________________________” asked he.
他问:“你为什么会迟到?为什么?”

As a student at a medical school, Sam thinks poetry is a big part of his life, thanks to his new teacher, Rafael Campo, who believes poetry can benefit every doctor's education and work.Rafael is a physician, professor and a highly respected poet.
“Poetry is in every encounter with my patients.If we do anything when we're with our patients, we're really immersed in their stories, really hearing their voices.And, certainly, that's what a poem does,” he said.
Rafael worries that something important has been lost in medicine and medical education today: humanity, which he finds in poetry.To end that, he leads a weekly reading and writing workshop for medical students and residents.He thinks medical training focuses too much on distancing the doctor from his or her patients, and poems can help close that gap.
Third-year resident Andrea Schwartz was one of the workshop regulars.She said, “I think there's no other profession other than medicine that produces as many writers as it does.And I think that is because there's just so much power in doctors and patients' interacting when patients are at their saddest moments.” Not everyone believes that's what doctors should do, though.
Rafael said, “I was afraid of how people might judge me, actually.In the medical profession, as many people know, we must always put the emergency first.But, you know, that kind of treatment, if it's happening in the hospital, very regrettably, sadly, results in a bad outcome.The family is sitting by the bedside.The patient hasn't survived the cancer.Don't we still have a role as healers there?”
In a poem titled Health, Rafael writes of the wish to live forever in a world made painless by our incurable joy.He says he will continue teaching students, helping patients and writing poems, his own brand of medicine.
语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了Rafael认为诗歌可以让医生倾听病人的故事,可以缩短医生与病人之间的距离,因此他组建了读写讲习班。
4.What's Rafael Campo
A.He's a doctor.
B.He's a physicist.
C.He is a teacher in a senior school.
D.He is a student at a medical school.
解析:细节理解题。根据第一段中的“Rafael is a physician”可知,Rafael的职业是一名医生。
√
5.What does the underlined word “immersed” in Paragraph 2 mean
A.Committed. B.Forced.
C.Absorbed. D.Persuaded.
解析:词义猜测题。根据第二段画线词所在句中的“really hearing their voices”可推知,他与病人在一起的时候,会听病人们诉说自己的故事,应该会沉浸在病人的故事里,故“immersed”的意思是“沉浸于……”,与C项意思相近。
√
6.What does Andrea Schwartz think of poetry
A.It contributes to medical work.
B.It is mostly produced by doctors.
C.It has nothing to do with doctors.
D.It keeps doctors away from patients.
√
解析:推理判断题。根据第四段可知,Andrea Schwartz认为医务工作相比其他行业,会产生更多作家,这是因为病人处于痛苦时,医生与病人之间的互动力量很大,其实这是医生帮助病人的一种方式,医生和病患关系紧密就有助于医疗效果,故推知Andrea Schwartz认为诗歌有利于医疗工作。
7.What is the best title for the text
A.A Good Medicine Tastes Bitter
B.Poetry Heals the Pain
C.Sad Poetry Is a Ready Medicine
D.A Poem a Day Keeps the Doctor Away
√
解析:标题归纳题。本文主要讲述了Rafael认为诗歌可以让医生倾听病人的故事,可以缩短医生与病人之间的距离,有助于医学治疗,因此他组建了读写讲习班,故B项“诗歌治愈伤痛”适合作文章标题。
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
Literature is a term used to describe written and sometimes spoken material.It most commonly refers to works of the creative imagination, including poetry, drama, fiction,nonfiction, and in some instances, journalism, and songs.
What Is Literature
Generally speaking, literature represents the culture and tradition of a language or a nation. 8 It's clear that the accepted definition of literature is constantly changing and evolving.For many, the word literature suggests a higher art form.Merely putting words on a page doesn't necessarily mean creating literature.A common standard is the accepted body of works for a given author.
Literary Fiction vs Genre Fiction
9 Genre fiction includes types such as mystery, science fiction, romance, thriller, and horror.It typically does not have as much character development as literary fiction and is read for entertainment, escapism, and plots.Literary fiction explores themes common to the human condition and uses symbolism and other literary devices to convey the author's viewpoint on his or her chosen themes. 10 The main character typically comes to a realization or changes in some way during the course of a literary novel.
11
Works of literature, at their best, provide a kind of blueprint (蓝图) of human society.From the writings of ancient civilizations such as Egypt and China to Greek philosophy and poetry, from the epics of Homer to the plays of William Shakespeare, from Jane Austen and Charlotte Bront to Maya Angelou, works of literature give insight and context to all the world's societies.In this way, literature is more than just a historical or cultural artifact. 12
A.How To Create Literature
B.Why Is Literature Important
C.It can serve as an introduction to a new world of experience.
D.Some definitions also separate literary fiction from “genre fiction”.
E.The concept is difficult to precisely define, though many have tried.
F.Literary fiction involves getting into the minds of the characters and experiencing their relationships with others.
G.The differences in types do not mean that literary writers are better than genre fiction writers, just that they operate differently.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了文学的定义、类型和重要性。
8.选E 上文指出了文学的一般概念,即代表了一种语言或一个民族的文化和传统,后文提到公认的文学定义是不断变化和发展的,故本句应该表达文学的概念很难精确定义。故E项承上启下,符合语境。
9.选D 根据小标题Literary Fiction vs Genre Fiction可知,此段内容主要介绍小说的两种类型,故D项(有些定义将文学小说与类型小说分开)能够引出下文。
10.选F 根据后文“The main character typically comes to a realization or changes in some way during the course of a literary novel.”可知,空处主要介绍文学小说的特征,与下文衔接。故F项(文学小说包括进入人物的思想,体验他们与他人的关系)符合文意。
11.选B 根据本段内容“Works of literature, at their best, provide a kind of blueprint of human society ...In this way, literature is more than just a historical or cultural artifact.”可知,本段主要讲述文学的作用,表明文学的重要性。故B项能概括本段内容。
12.选C 根据空前一句可知,此处衔接上文,应继续介绍文学的重要性,即文学也可以充当一个新的经历世界的介绍。故C项符合语境。1 / 4

5.选C 词义猜测题。根据第二段画线词所在句中的“really hearing their voices”可推知,他与病人在一起的时候,会听病人们诉说自己的故事,应该会沉浸在病人的故事里,故“immersed”的意思是“沉浸于……”,与C项意思相近。

Ⅱ.阅读七选五
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了文学的定义、类型和重要性。
8.选E 上文指出了文学的一般概念,即代表了一种语言或一个民族的文化和传统,后文提到公认的文学定义是不断变化和发展的,故本句应该表达文学的概念很难精确定义。故E项承上启下,符合语境。
9.选D 根据小标题Literary Fiction vs Genre Fiction可知,此段内容主要介绍小说的两种类型,故D项(有些定义将文学小说与类型小说分开)能够引出下文。
10.选F 根据后文“The main character typically comes to a realization or changes in some way during the course of a literary novel.”可知,空处主要介绍文学小说的特征,与下文衔接。故F项(文学小说包括进入人物的思想,体验他们与他人的关系)符合文意。
11.选B 根据本段内容“Works of literature, at their best, provide a kind of blueprint of human society ...In this way, literature is more than just a historical or cultural artifact.”可知,本段主要讲述文学的作用,表明文学的重要性。故B项能概括本段内容。
12.选C 根据空前一句可知,此处衔接上文,应继续介绍文学的重要性,即文学也可以充当一个新的经历世界的介绍。故C项符合语境。
