Section Ⅰ Starting out & Understanding ideas
Life Behind the Lens①
[1]A white-haired② old man riding an ordinary bicycle around the streets of New York, always wearing the same blue worker’s jacket and simple black running shoes. If you saw him, you’d never think there was anything remarkable③ about him.And yet④ every member of New York’s wealthy high society wanted nothing more than⑤ to pose⑥ for this man.
[1]本句采用了照片说明文字的描写方式,突出了人物形象特征。
This ordinary-looking⑦ man was Bill Cunningham, one of the most important American photographers of the last 50 years.
What made Cunningham so great? It certainly wasn’t the use of expensive,technologically-advanced⑧ equipment.Cunningham always used simple, relatively⑨cheap cameras and took all his pictures on the streets of New York, not in a studio.[2]Nor was it a wide range of⑩ contacts and connections.[3]Although he always knew where fashionable parties and events were happening, Cunningham liked to photograph ordinary people in the poor Bronx as much as VIPs in rich Manhattan. He found inspiration where others could not, in simple, everyday scenes, such as a man buying oranges at the local grocery store, or a woman riding home on the graffiti-covered subway.[4]These things were real, and it was within their reality that Cunningham saw both beauty and potential.[5]Through his fascination with what people were wearing, and not who they were, he opened the doors of fashion to everyone — fashion as he saw it belonged to the people, not just to high society and big brands.
[2]本句为倒装句。表示否定意义的词位于句首时,句子用部分倒装。
[3]Although引导让步状语从句,从句中where引导宾语从句。
[4]本句是由and连接的并列句。第二个分句为强调句型。
[5]and连接分别由what和who引导的并列的宾语从句;破折号后是插入语,起解释说明作用。
Moreover, [6]what made Cunningham great was his devotion to photography, and the hours and hours of sheer hard work he put into his work. Cunningham would go out onto the streets of New York each and every day, regardless of the weather.[7]He would even stay outside in a storm, not coming back until he knew he had the right photos. He hardly ever took a day off and not once stayed home sick.[8]This devotion and hard work is what we see reflected within his photos.This is what makes them so special.
[6]what引导主语从句;and连接并列的表语;he put into his work为省略了关系词的定语从句。
[7]本句含有until引导的时间状语从句,not ...until ...“直到……才……”。
[8]句中两个what均引导表语从句。
Although he was a world-famous fashion photographer, Cunningham’s approach to life was uncomplicated .He lived in a small apartment with a shared washroom.A simple restaurant was where he usually had the same meal of sausages, eggs and coffee.
Cunningham never accepted the benefits offered to him for being a fashion photographer.[9]He valued his integrity and would not be bought by anyone, no matter how many free clothes or flights to faraway destinations he was offered. And if he went to a celebrity party, he was there to work rather than have fun .“Money’s the cheapest thing,” he once said, then added: “...freedom is the most expensive.” [10] This lack of self-interest and promotion kept Cunningham focused on his craft , enabling him to capture New York’s unique street style.
[9]本句为主从复合句。no matter how引导让步状语从句;and连接并列谓语;he was offered为定语从句。
[10]句中kept Cunningham focused on his craft为“keep+宾语+宾语补足语”结构。enabling him to capture New York’s unique street style为动词-ing短语作结果状语。
Cunningham’s passion for photography lasted throughout his life.He was 87 when he passed away, and had been working right up until his last illness.Nothing ever stopped him from getting the photo he wanted.His hard work made him more than a fashion photographer — he was a “cultural anthropologist ”, who we can thank for recording the life of a whole city and its people over half a century.Bill Cunningham was an observer, and not one of the observed , a worker not a star — and this was how he wanted it.

镜头背后的人生
一位白发老人总是穿着一件蓝色工装夹克和样式简单的黑色跑鞋,骑着一辆普通的自行车在纽约街头穿梭。如果你看到他,你不会觉得他有任何引人注目的地方。然而,纽约富裕的上流社会中每一个人都想着对他摆姿势、请他拍照。
这位看起来普普通通的人就是比尔·坎宁安,美国近五十年来最重要的摄影师之一。
是什么使得坎宁安享有如此盛誉?当然不是因为他用了昂贵、技术先进的设备。坎宁安总是使用简单、相对便宜的相机,他所有照片的拍摄地都是纽约的街道,而不是摄影棚。也不是因为他交友广泛,识人无数。虽然他总是知道时尚聚会和大型活动举办的地点,但无论是对于在贫穷的布朗克斯拍摄普通人,还是在富裕的曼哈顿拍摄贵宾,他都同样喜欢。他能在一些简单的日常场景中得到其他人无法得到的灵感,比如一个在当地杂货店买橘子的男人,或是一个乘坐画满涂鸦的地铁回家的女人。这些东西是真实的,在这种真实中,坎宁安看到了美好和潜力。他用自己迷恋的对象——关注人们穿什么,而不是这些人是谁——向所有人打开了时尚的大门。在他看来,时尚属于民众,而不仅仅属于上流社会和大品牌。
此外,坎宁安的伟大之处还在于他对摄影的奉献精神,以及他在工作中投入的大量时间和精力。不管天气如何,坎宁安每天都会走上纽约的街头。甚至在暴风雨时,他也会待在外面,直到他认为自己已经拍摄到满意的照片才回家。他几乎从未休过一天假,也从未因病待在家中。我们可以从他的照片中看到这种奉献和努力。这就是使得这些照片如此与众不同的原因。
虽然坎宁安是一位世界著名的时尚摄影师,但他的生活方式却并不复杂。他住在一间与其他人共用浴室的小公寓里。他经常到一家简单的餐馆吃同样的食物,有香肠、鸡蛋和咖啡。
作为时尚摄影师,坎宁安从未接受过这个职业带给他的好处。他珍视自己的正直,不为任何人所动摇,无论提供给他多少免费衣物或远程航班。而且如果他去参加名人聚会,他是去工作而不是玩乐。“钱是最不值钱的东西,”他曾说,“……自由是最昂贵的。”对自身利益和升迁毫不关注,这使坎宁安能够专注于自己的技能,捕捉到纽约独特的街头风格。
坎宁安对摄影的热爱贯穿他的一生。他在87岁时与世长辞,一直到最后生病前他都在工作。没有什么能阻挡他拍到想要的照片。他的辛勤工作使他不仅是一名时尚摄影师——他更是一位“文化人类学家”,我们感谢他记录了整个城市及其人民长达半个世纪的生活。比尔·坎宁安是一位观察者,而不是一位被观察者,是一名劳动者而不是一个明星——而这正是他想要的。

Step 1 品教材课文 Step 2 析写作手法
What do the Summer Palace, Yuanmingyuan and the Chengde Mountain Resort all have in common? These Qing-dynasty architectural marvels, along with many others, were all built by members of the same family — the Lei family. For seven generations, the Lei family quietly dominated imperial architecture.Their designs were admirable, varying from grand buildings to public works, such as roads and dams.So incredible was their skill that many of their buildings survived earthquakes and remained standing over hundreds of years. The Lei family were also pioneering engineers, who used a grid system to plan their projects in minute detail.They took careful notes and made models of their projects, many of which have survived to this day and are registered as part of UNESCO’s Memory of the World Programme. In addition to their architectural achievements, the Lei family showed diligence and humility.Each generation conscientiously learnt their craft and undertook ambitious projects, many of which took years to complete.Yet they did not seek fame, and even today, their great works are associated more with the imperial court than with them. With their remarkable skills, innovation, diligence and humility, the Lei family leave behind their buildings and the legacy that true craftwork is a treasure that can last beyond a lifetime. Para.1 Person 文章首句使用疑问句开头,构成悬念,使读者带着问题往下阅读,引起读者注意,同时引出话题,即这些清代的建筑奇迹的建造者——雷氏家族。 Paras.2-4 Qualities and examples 文章的第二至四段讲述了雷氏家族的人物品质并举例进行了一一说明。第二段中使用了动词-ing短语varying from grand buildings to public works作状语;最后一句中使用了部分倒装句,使表达富有变化。第三段中第一句使用了who引导的定语从句描述了人物品质;第三段和第四段的第二句使用了“代词+of+关系代词”引导的非限制性定语从句进行举例说明。 Para.5 Conclusion 本段共有一句话,使用with介词短语概述了雷氏家族的人物品质;使用that引导的同位语从句得出结论。

MASTERS OF TIME
In the quiet courtyards of Xi San Suo, behind the high walls of the Forbidden City①, time ticks② at its own pace③.[1]If it hadn’t been for a three-episode documentary④, outsiders would never have known that the plainly-dressed⑤ people working here are masters of their craft, who have spent their lives restoring⑥ precious antiques.Among these is the clock restoration master,Wang Jin.
[1]本句使用了if引导的虚拟条件句,表示对过去事实的虚拟,从句用过去完成时,主句用would have done结构,主句中的that引导宾语从句;who引导定语从句,修饰先行词masters。
Walking through the seven crimson gates towards his workplace, Wang Jin still regards himself as⑦ an ordinary worker in the Palace Museum, although now he is often stopped by admirers wanting their photo taken with him.Day in, day out⑧, Mr Wang and his students spend their time restoring clocks dating back hundreds of years.But for quite some time, he and his student Qi Haonan used to be the only two people repairing timepieces in the Palace Museum.
Qing emperors⑨ were very fond of clocks.Therefore, in order to please them, foreign envoys presented these emperors with⑩ the most intricate and splendid timepieces.Today, the Palace Museum has one of the most significant collections of timepieces in the world, mainly originating from Europe and China.[2]With objects ranging from small pocket watches to clocks over one metre in height , each of these requires its own unique method of restoration. Given the complexity of the work and the lack of necessary materials, this means that each expert can work on a maximum of two large pieces a year.But, through their painstaking efforts, Mr Wang and his students do more than repair the clocks — they bring them back to life .
The only sound to break the silence in Wang Jin’s workshop is the chiming melody of the repaired and polished clocks.To Wang Jin it is the most beautiful music in the world.Now, after eight months of endless adjustments , the time has finally come for Mr Wang to wind up the gigantic clocks that date back to the time of Emperor Qianlong.The intricately fashioned objects that have stood still for centuries instantly come back to life: water flows, boats sail, dogs bark, chickens flap their wings and a woman starts to spin.It is a truly awe-inspiring moment.[3]It is suddenly clear that when the clock masters say that “these antiques have lives”, it is neither an exaggeration nor a metaphor.
[2]with复合结构作状语。
[3]本句为主从复合句。that引导主语从句,it作形式主语,在主语从句中,when引导时间状语从句;that引导宾语从句。
But, despite the combined work of several generations of masters, it seems unlikely that the restoration of the clocks will ever be complete.[4]Even if every clock in the Palace Museum were restored, there would still be work to do, because restoration would probably need to begin again on the clocks that were repaired long ago. This is a race against time that can never be won! Nonetheless , Mr Wang remains optimistic about the future of these timepieces.Following in the footsteps of his own teacher all those years ago, Mr Wang has now passed on his skills to the new members, who will take on many of the future repairs.What’s more, inspired to follow in his father’s footsteps, Mr Wang’s son now has also taken up repairing antique clocks.This new generation of artisans will not only help preserve traditional skills; the innovation they bring to the craft will also ensure that the art of clock repairing stands the test of time .
[5]In today’s fast-paced world, the saying that “time waits for no man ” has never seemed more apt .Yet inside the hidden courtyards of Xi San Suo, there is something timeless about the way Mr Wang and his colleagues sedately piece together the past with skilful hands and modest hearts.It is as if they have become one with their craft and with the history of the country.
[4]Even if引导让步状语从句;because引导原因状语从句,在此从句中that引导定语从句,在从句中作主语。
[5]“否定副词never/not+形容词的比较级”结构表示最高级含义。

时间大师
在紫禁城高墙内西三所安静的庭院里,时间按着自己的节奏流逝着。要不是那三集纪录片,外面的人永远也不会知道,在这里工作的那些衣着朴素的人竟然都是精于各门技艺的大师,他们毕生都在修复珍贵的古董。这其中便包括钟表修复大师王津。
王津穿过七重深红色的大门,走向自己的工作地点。尽管现在他经常被想和他合影的粉丝拦住,他仍然认为自己是故宫博物院的一名普通工人。王先生和他的学生们日复一日地修复着数百年前的钟表,但在过去相当长的一段时间里,故宫博物院修理钟表的工匠只有他和他的学生亓昊楠。
清朝的皇帝们十分喜欢钟表。因此,外国使节们把最精致、最华丽的钟表送给这些皇帝来取悦他们。如今,故宫博物院拥有一部分世界上最重要的钟表藏品,这些钟表主要来自欧洲和中国。小到怀表,大到超过一米高的钟表,每一件都有其独特的修复方法。工作的复杂性和必要材料的缺乏意味着每位专家每年最多只能修复两件大型钟表。但是,王先生和他的学生们通过艰苦的努力不只是修复了钟表——他们还让钟表恢复了生命。
在王津的工作坊里,唯一能打破寂静的声音是在修理、抛光钟表时发出的报时的旋律。对王津来说,这是世界上最美的音乐。经过八个月无休止的调整,王先生现在终于进行到了为乾隆皇帝时代的巨型钟表上弦的时候。那些已经静止了几个世纪的造型复杂的摆件瞬间复活了:水流动着,船航行着,狗吠叫着,鸡拍动着翅膀,一个女人纺着线。这真是一个令人惊叹的时刻。人们突然明白,当钟表大师们说“这些古董有生命”时,这既不是夸张,也不是比喻。
但是,尽管经过了几代大师的共同努力,钟表的修复似乎永远不可能完成。即使故宫博物院的每一件钟表都被修复了,仍然有工作要做,因为可能需要重新开始对很久以前修复的钟表进行修复。这是一场与时间的赛跑,却永远不可能赢!尽管如此,王先生对这些钟表的未来仍持乐观态度。多年前,王先生继承了师父的事业,而现在他已将自己的技艺传授给了将承担未来许多修复工作的新成员。更重要的是,在继承父业这一壮志的激励下,王先生的儿子现在也开始修复古董钟表。新一代的工匠不仅能够协助保留传统技艺,他们给技艺带来的创新也将确保钟表修复技术能够经得起时间的考验。
在当今快节奏的世界里,“时间不等人”的说法似乎再贴切不过了。然而,在西三所的隐秘庭院里,王先生和他的同事们用灵巧的双手和谦逊的心沉着地拼凑着过去,带来了永恒,好像他们已经与自己的技艺和这个国家的历史融为了一体。

【我的发现】
1.根据句①、②可知,连接 引导表语从句时要在从句中充当成分。
2.根据句③、④可知,连接 引导表语从句时往往在从句中充当状语。
一、表语从句概述
用来作表语的从句叫作表语从句,说明主语是什么或者怎么样。放在系动词之后,一般结构是“主语+系动词+关联词+表语从句”。可以接表语从句的连系动词有be, seem, look, sound, taste, feel, remain, appear等。
二、表语从句的引导词及其用法
类别 连接词 例句
从属连词 that在从句中不充当句子成分,没有任何意义,只起连接作用,通常不可省略。 The trouble is that I have lost his address. 麻烦是我把他的地址弄丢了。
whether在从句中不充当句子成分,但有“是否”之意,一般不用if代替。 The question, however, is whether this is what the developing countries need the most. 然而,问题是这是否是发展中国家最需要的。

连接副词 when,where,why,how,whenever,wherever等在从句中作状语。 That’s where I can’t agree with you. 那是我不能同意你的地方。 The last time we had great fun was when we were visiting the Water Park. 上一次我们玩得很开心是我们参观水上乐园的时候。
其他连接词 because,as if/though等。as if/though引导的表语从句常置于系动词look, seem, sound, be, become等后面。because引导的表语从句常见于This/That/It is/was because ...句型中。 It’s just because he doesn’t know her. 这仅仅是因为他不认识她。 Now it seems as though she had known Millie for years. 如今看来她好像已经认识米莉许多年了。
三、表语从句用虚拟语气的情况
如果主句的主语是advice, demand, order, suggestion, requirement, request, command等时,表语从句用虚拟语气,谓语形式是“(should+)动词原形”,should可以省略。
My advice is that you (should) practise speaking English as often as possible.
我的建议是你应该尽可能经常地练习说英语。

Six months later,I came back home for my father’s funeral.Death was very confusing for a child.I didn’t understand what death meant;all I knew was that my father had been lying in bed and receiving medical treatment for his illness when I left,but now when I came back,he was nowhere to be found.He must be hiding somewhere.I was sure people couldn’t just disappear,especially without saying goodbye.Though my mother told me he had “passed on”,I thought she meant he’d traveled to another town.
Suddenly,an idea crossed my mind that my father might travel to Heaven.I knew exactly how to find my father.I ran to the front porch.However,I had grown during those six months in Virginia,and I could no longer squeeze under the porch.I sat in front of the porch all afternoon,calling for someone to answer me.No voice came.No father returned.No frog jumped out of his hiding spot.I was too big to talk to a sprite,so I started to cry.

1.Biomimicry is not a new idea.Since ancient times, simple people and scientists have been watching and studying nature’s best ideas and then imitated these designs and processes to find answers and solved many situations in human history.
2.Biomimicry is a new way to perceive and value nature.It brings us the idea that the best way to benefit from the natural world is not to massively extract substances and valuables from it.The conscious emulation of life’s and nature’s genius is a survival strategy for the human race.It’s a possible path to a sustainable and better future.

1.The first sentence describes a beautiful scene of the dusk.The village is so far away that it looks fuzzy and the smoke rises gently and slowly.The scenery described in the sentence gives people a sense of peace and serenity, as if the world is not disturbed by any force.
The second sentence makes this beautiful rural painting come to life all of a sudden.Instead of writing about the songs of birds and insects, the poet wrote a very common song and bark of chickens and dogs, because the sound of chickens and dogs is the most characteristic of rural environment and the most harmonious and unified with the whole picture.It properly shows the life atmosphere of the countryside, and does not damage the peaceful mood at all.
2.Though we live in modern times, it isn’t possible for us to go back to nature to live a life as they do, what we should know is that it is urgent for humans to live with nature in harmony now, because we humans have already paid price for treating nature badly, such as global warming, floods, hurricanes, etc, which can be considered a sign that nature warns us.

To ease the working pressure,I drove to the rural area with my friend Harry last week.While walking on the lanes,I was attracted by the lotuses in the pond,the mulberry trees swinging in the wind and the flying dragonflies.“How amazing the scenery is!”Harry whispered to himself,unconsciously a smile spreading over his face.All of a sudden,we caught sight of a cottage in the distance.The nearer the cottage was, the more delighted we were,because we saw a beautiful botanical garden there.Enjoying the beautiful scene of the field,we felt a sense of fulfilment.

1.We, humans, are also a part of nature, but we tend to distinguish ourselves from nature and do the things, which may harm nature.Therefore, respect nature and its resources, show some compassion towards it.It is the responsibility of a human being to protect nature.We, as humans, should refrain from doing any harm to nature if we need to provide a good natural environment to the future generations.Just as Charles Darwin puts it, “Everything, what is against nature, will not last for long.”
2.When I think about the beauty of nature, the first thing that comes to my mind may be greenery.But the beauty of nature is more than the greenery.Everything I feel and see around, including mountains, forests, rivers, birds, plants, animals, air, etc.— all are a part of the beauty of nature.

1.(1)When I got up this morning the world was a cold place of dead white and pale blues.
(2)The little plum tree outside, with the faintly flushed snow lining its branches and artfully disposed along its trunk, stood in full sunlight.
(3)But the snow is falling heavily, in great soft flakes, so that you can hardly see across the shallow valley, and the roofs are thick and the trees all bending, and the weathercock of the village church, still to be seen through the grey loaded air, has become some creature out of Hans Andersen.
2.(1)The dining-room window had been transformed into a lovely Japanese print.
(2)It was as if our kindly countryside, close to the very heart of England, had been turned into a cruel grassland.

1.Today, environmentalists and the green movement argue that many silent chemical and radioactive toxins, as well as carbon emissions, pollute the earth, the effects of which we will not feel until it is too late and the damage has been done.We need to pay attention now, they say, or pay the price.
2.The book is relevant because it carefully compiles scientific evidence to make its case.It shows that even though the impact of pesticides seems invisible, it is real, and it shows how all of the earth is interwoven ecologically.Damaging the soil or water damages animals (Carson focuses on birds) and humans.
In these days, the political debate about climate change is fierce.We debate, despite overwhelming evidence and consensus among scientists, whether climate change is really happening in the world.Her book will provide some ideas for these global problems.

Section Ⅳ Writing a poem about nature
【教材词汇·练续写】
Having held the championship for the past two years, I was chosen to participate in the competition.My teacher insisted that I practice for the contest.“I have a bit of sore throat,” I lied.I even told Ms Sara not to worry as I was not puzzled about anything.However,when I stepped on the stage,my palms sweated heavily and my voice trembled.Finally,I walked off the stage and flushed with shame.“I should have practiced to enhance my ability,” I said to Ms Sara.Bending her head, she gently told me that getting well prepared for everything was of great importance.
