语篇分析（教师版）
分析维度 内容项
What：语篇的主题、内容、结构、逻辑关系 一、文章基本信息 文章标题：Alex around the world作者： Alex Zhang文章类型：叙述文主题/中心思想：文章主要讲述了作者分别参加印度婚礼和巴西里约狂欢节的经历，通过描述活动中的场景、习俗等，展现了不同文化活动的独特魅力以及给自己带来的深刻感受。
二、文本结构与内容分析 整体结构：文章分为两个部分，分别叙述印度婚礼和巴西里约狂欢节的经历。段落分布：先以 “10 January, Indian wedding ceremony, India” 为开头，介绍参加印度婚礼的情况，包含婚礼场地、宾客、新娘着装、特色习俗等，最后提到婚礼后的庆祝活动；后以 “26 February, Rio Carnival, Brazil” 为起始，讲述在里约参加狂欢节的过程，从刚下飞机的感受，到参加街头派对的所见所闻。文章无明显的引言、结论部分，主体就是对两个活动的叙述。逻辑关系： 两个部分是并列关系，分别独立讲述不同文化活动的经历。衔接与连贯：通过时间和地点的明确标注来区分不同部分；在叙述过程中使用 “although”“then” 等连接词体现句子间逻辑；通过代词 “I” 贯穿个人经历的叙述。段落功能：每个部分的段落都围绕该文化活动展开，介绍活动的相关信息，如婚礼习俗、狂欢节现场氛围等，为读者呈现活动全貌。
Why：语篇的深层涵义、情感态度、作者意图 三、写作意图与文化背景分析 文化背景：涉及印度和巴西的文化背景。印度婚礼文化中，新娘的着装、新郎骑马入场、围绕火的仪式等都有独特文化内涵；巴西狂欢节则体现了当地热情奔放的文化特点。作者自身文化背景使其对这些不同文化习俗感到新奇并着重描述。背景知识的运用：读者需要了解一些印度婚礼习俗（如围绕火的仪式和七步的含义）以及巴西狂欢节（如桑巴舞、街头派对的氛围）的背景知识，才能更好地理解作者描述的内容。写作意图：通过分享自己在不同文化活动中的亲身经历，让读者感受不同文化的独特魅力，也表达自己对这些经历的珍视。
四、情感态度与价值取向分析 情感态度：作者对印度婚礼和巴西狂欢节都充满积极、兴奋的情感，如 “I knew it would be the opportunity of a lifetime”“What an amazing first day in Rio!” 等表述，体现出对这两个活动的喜爱和赞叹。价值取向：传达了对不同文化的尊重和欣赏，以及对多元文化体验的推崇。
五、论点与文章有效性分析 论点清晰度与证据支持：文章没有明确的论点，主要是叙述经历，通过详细描述婚礼习俗、狂欢节场景等作为内容支撑。文章有效性与局限性：有效性在于生动的描述能让读者感受到活动的氛围；局限性在于缺乏深入的分析和探讨，只是表面的经历叙述。文章与现实的联系：在全球化的当今社会，多元文化体验越来越常见，文章容易引发读者对不同文化活动的兴趣和共鸣。
六、逻辑关系与推理分析 显性逻辑关系：在描述活动过程时存在时间先后的因果关系，如先到达活动场地，然后看到相应场景，接着参与活动等；两个部分之间是对比不同文化活动的关系。隐性推理与假设：隐性传达出不同文化虽有差异但都能带来快乐和美好体验的观点，假设读者会对不同文化活动感兴趣并产生向往。
How：语篇的文体特征、语言特点、修辞手法、结构分析 七、语言与文体特征分析 语言特点：语言风格生动形象，使用了较多描述性词汇，如 “brightly decorated”“eye - catching”“energetic” 等；词汇较为日常，感彩丰富。句式与句型分析：句式多样，有简单句、复合句，长短句结合，使文章节奏明快。文体特征：是非正式的感性叙述文体，以个人经历分享为主。修辞手法：未明显使用常见修辞手法。
八、写作手法分析 写作技巧与表达方式：运用细节描写，如对婚礼习俗、狂欢节现场人物动作和场景的描写，使读者身临其境；采用顺叙的方式，按照活动的发展顺序进行叙述，清晰易懂。
九、个人理解与批判性思维 个人理解与反思：作者通过亲身经历展现不同文化的魅力，能让人感受到多元文化的美好，同意作者对这些经历的珍视态度，也会引发对不同文化活动体验的向往。批判性思维与反思：文章整体较为客观，但在一定程度上可能因个人感受而存在对文化活动的理想化呈现，缺乏对文化背景更深入的挖掘和对活动背后社会因素的探讨。在看待作者的描述时，应结合更多的资料和背景知识，避免片面理解。
课文语言表达梳理 一、情感描述相关表达I knew it would be the opportunity of a lifetime..用法：描述得知某个机会时的内心认知替换表达：I realized it was an unparalleled chance..Although our two cultures are so different, the smiling faces are the same.用法：表达对不同文化中相同情感展现的感慨替换表达：Even though our cultures vary greatly, the smiling faces that convey happiness are identical..I could feel it already—the Carnival was in the air!用法：描述对某个欢乐场合的感受和认知替换表达：I could already feel the Carnival spirit in the atmosphere!

When experiencing the Rio Carnival, the author is fully immersed in the unique cultural atmosphere, with no signs of discomfort.

阅读技能目标：

思考文化差异对人们观念和行为的影响。
A. The author mentions “Although our two cultures are so different, the smiling faces are the same.” Evaluate the author's attitude expressed in this statement. Do you agree with this view Why or why not
Answer: The author's attitude in this statement is one of finding common ground and emphasizing the universality of human emotions. The smiling faces represent happiness and friendliness, which are emotions that exist across cultures. I agree with this view because, despite differences in customs, traditions, and ways of life, basic positive human emotions like joy are shared. For example, in various cultures around the world, celebrations often involve expressions of happiness, whether it's through smiles, laughter, or other forms of merriment. This shows that at a fundamental level, people have similar emotional responses to positive experiences..
B. The author seems to be highly enthusiastic about both the Indian wedding and the Rio Carnival. Assess whether this positive attitude might overlook some potential drawbacks or issues related to these cultural events.
Answer: While the author's enthusiasm highlights the positive aspects of these cultural events, it might overlook some potential drawbacks. For the Indian wedding, the elaborate traditions and large - scale celebrations could lead to significant financial burdens on the families involved. Also, some of the customs might be restrictive in modern - day perspectives. Regarding the Rio Carnival, the large crowds and public nature of the event could pose safety risks, such as overcrowding and potential for pickpocketing. Additionally, the environmental impact of the event, like waste generation from food stalls and decorations, might be ignored in the author's positive portrayal.
目的： 该问题让学生对作者在文本中呈现的态度和观点进行思考与评判，能够结合自身知识和生活经验，分析观点的合理性与局限性。
阅读技能目标：
掌握评估作者观点的方法。

A. Complete the sentence:
"In the Indian wedding, the couple performs rituals around the sacred fire, which reflects the Indian culture's ______ for the fire. In a Western wedding, the bride and groom exchange vows in a church, indicating the Western culture's emphasis on _____."
Answer: "In the Indian wedding, the couple performs rituals around the sacred fire, which reflects the Indian culture's reverence for the fire. In a Western wedding, the bride and groom exchange vows in a church, indicating the Western culture's emphasis on religion."
B. Compare the way celebrations are conducted in the author's implied culture (from the text) and the Indian culture. What are the major differences and similarities in terms of values emphasized.
Answer: In the implied culture of the author (from the text), it seems that celebrations might be less elaborate and perhaps more subdued compared to the Indian culture. The Indian wedding is a highly formal and ritual - filled event, emphasizing family bonds, religious traditions, and community participation. Values like respect for elders, family honor, and the sanctity of marriage are prominent. In contrast, the author's culture might place more value on simplicity and personal choice in celebrations. However, both cultures likely value the gathering of loved ones during celebrations as a way to strengthen relationships.
C. In your own cultural perspective, how would you view the public and energetic nature of the Rio Carnival compared to the more formal and ritual - based Indian wedding
Answer: In my culture, the public and energetic nature of the Rio Carnival might seem overwhelming at first. Our celebrations tend to be more private or within a smaller community, focusing on close - knit family and friends. The emphasis is often on quiet reflection and sharing traditional food and stories. In comparison, the Rio Carnival's exuberance and large - scale public participation are a display of collective joy and freedom. It makes me realize the diversity of ways in which different cultures express celebration and community spirit

C. Discuss with your group If you could combine elements from the Indian wedding and the Rio Carnival to create a new cultural celebration, which elements would you choose and why
Answer: (Group discussion answer)
"We could select the ritual around the sacred fire and the part where the couple exchanges vows from the Indian wedding. These ceremonies are solemn and rich in cultural connotations, symbolizing love and commitment. From the Rio Carnival, we can choose the energetic samba dance and the colorful costumes, which can add a lively and enthusiastic atmosphere to the celebration.

A. Analyze the overall structure of the passage. How do the descriptions of the Indian wedding and the Rio Carnival relate to each other, and what is the author's purpose in arranging them in this way
Answer: The passage has a parallel structure, with separate sections for the Indian wedding and the Rio Carnival. The two parts are related in that they both showcase different cultural events that the author has experienced. By presenting them side - by - side, the author aims to highlight the diversity of cultures while also emphasizing the common human emotions (as shown by “Although our two cultures are so different, the smiling faces are the same”). This arrangement allows readers to compare and contrast the unique features of each event, and to appreciate the richness of different cultural traditions.
B. The picture of the bride and groom in the Indian wedding interacts with the written text. How do they jointly construct a more complete and vivid image of the Indian wedding Analyze from aspects such as the clothing, expressions, and the overall atmosphere in the picture.
Answer: In the picture, the bride's eye - catching red silk sari and the groom's traditional attire, as described in the text, provide a visual confirmation of the rich and colorful clothing customs in an Indian wedding. Their expressions, although not clearly described in the text, can be assumed to be filled with happiness and anticipation, which aligns with the romantic and joyous atmosphere depicted in the written description. The overall atmosphere in the picture, with the red curtain background, enhances the sense of solemnity and festivity that the text also conveys. Together, the picture and the text give readers a more immersive and comprehensive understanding of the Indian wedding, combining visual and textual elements to create a vivid and detailed image.

Differences: The Indian wedding is a formal ceremony with specific traditions, while the Rio Carnival is a street - based, more free - flowing celebration with music, dancing, and a parade - like atmosphere.
B. Analyze how the author's cultural background influenced their perception of the Indian wedding customs
Answer: The author was unfamiliar with some of the customs, like the bridegroom's entrance on a white horse, which they had never seen before. However, some parts, like the father leading the daughter to her husband, reminded the author of their sister's wedding, showing that they tried to relate the new experience to their own cultural knowledge.

Answer (example): Yes, it was a good introduction. The street party with its samba music, dancing, and the atmosphere of celebration is a significant part of Brazilian culture.
