语言是认知世界的重要工具,掌握一门语言,可以打开另一个世界。我们要深刻意识到语言学习的重要性,了解汉字对我国文化传承和发展的积极意义,以及深度思考英语学习的策略和方法。高考命题对这一主题常有涉及,如:2020年浙江1月高考写作,给英国朋友George写封邮件邀请他参加外国学生中文演讲比赛;2020年天津5月高考书面表达,写发言稿探讨如何利用网络学习英语等。
(节选自人教版教材必修第一册UNIT 5)
Liu Wen: Hi! I've been studying English since primary school.I used to get high marks in English, but now I'm having a lot of trouble with my listening.When I listen to native English speakers talking in a video, I can catch only a few words.(在肯定句里用only a few,强调了能听懂的单词少)I can never quite get the main idea.Any advice? (程度副词never quite 的使用恰当地说明了自己的困难)
Jia Xin:Listening to English radio programmes helps me get used to how fast native speakers talk.I also repeat what I hear to help myself to experience the feeling of the language.Sometimes I even record my voice so I can listen to myself and compare my pronunciation with the radio host's!(listen,repeat,experience,record,compare等几个动词具体地描述了自己的做法,用词准确,表达清晰) ❶My biggest headache is how to be polite in English.❷It's so much easier to just say “Open the window!”, but in English that can sound really terrible.I have to think about who I'm talking to and then decide whether to say, “Open the window, please!” or “Could you open the window, please?” or even longer “Would you mind opening the window, please?” (清晰地讲述了自己的困难:如何得体地使用英语)
Li Rui: Yeah, that's really hard! I think it all depends on who you're talking to.If I'm talking to a close friend, I can use short requests, like “Open the window” — our relationship is close and we're equals, so I only need a few words to bridge the gap between us.But if I'm talking to someone who isn't very close to me, I must make my request longer — and I must make it a question, not a demand, e.g., “Could you open the window, please?” If I'm talking to someone senior to me, then I should say, “Would you mind opening the window, please?” (通过几个实例说明了如何得体地使用英语完全取决于你在跟谁说话)For me, vocabulary is my biggest problem — there are just SO MANY new words!I can't keep all the new vocabulary straight in my head, and I certainly can't remember how to use them all properly. (“HELP!” 表现了自己在词汇方面急需帮助)
由教材学写法
1.学亮点词汇
第一段中的catch意为“听清楚;领会”,属于熟词生义的用法,准确地表达了自己在听力方面存在的困难。第二段中的headache在此表示“令人头疼的事”,用词形象传神。第三段中的bridge为名词活用作动词,bridge the gap生动描写了好友之间仅需几句话便可拉近距离的情形。
2.学高级句式
句❶运用“疑问词+不定式”结构作表语,简洁明了地写出自己最大的难题就是不知道如何得体地使用英语。
句❷中it作形式主语,句子的真正主语不定式短语后置,使得整个句子结构平衡美观。
Ⅰ.多积词块——丰富表达方式
1.spoken English 英语口语
2.local accent 地方口音
3.an official language 官方语言
4.have a good command/knowledge of 精通
5.develop an interest in 培养对……的兴趣
6.enrich one's vocabulary 丰富某人的词汇量
7.gather all one's courage 鼓足勇气
8.refer to a dictionary 查阅词典
9.in delight 高兴地
10.practise speaking English 练习讲英语
Ⅱ.多积佳句——彰显表达功底
1.Reading aloud is a very effective way of learning English.
大声朗读是学习英语非常有效的方法。
2.One cannot learn a language well unless he works hard.
如果不努力是学不好一门语言的。
3.People's views on learning English vary from person to person.
不同的人对学习英语有不同的看法。
4.The way to learn a language is to practise speaking it as often as possible.
学习一门语言的方法就是要尽可能地多讲。
5.Our notes are much thinner than the books so that we can learn them by heart easily and can often review and read them.
我们的笔记比课本薄得多,因此我们可以较容易地记忆并且经常复习和阅读它们。
一、作文提升练习
下面是一篇学生习作,给外国朋友Tom就如何学好汉语提建议。请根据上面所学,对习作进行润色、升级。
Dear Tom,
How is everything going?❶ I'm writing to offer you some advice on how you can learn Chinese well. And my advice is as follows:
To begin with, as you know, there are four tones in the Chinese intonation.So you should pay attention to your pronunciation and intonation to deal with the difference between Chinese and English.________, you'd better read and recite some Chinese classics, which helps you learn more about great thoughts and traditional Chinese culture.Besides, keeping a diary can be a good way to express yourself well.❷Of course, to either learn some Chinese songs or watch some teaching videos is also of great help.
I hope my advice can be beneficial.If you have other questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
Sincerely,
Li Hua
(一)将文中加黑词汇和短语升级
1.deal with the difference between→bridge_the_gap_between
2.well→properly
(二)根据提示将文中句子升级
1.用“疑问词+不定式”作宾语升级句❶
I'm_writing_to_offer_you_some_advice_on_how_to_learn_Chinese_well.
2.用it作形式主语升级句❷
Of_course,_it_is_also_of_great_help_to_either_learn_some_Chinese_songs_or_watch_some_teaching_videos.
(三)在文中设空处加上衔接词
Then/After_that
二、续写语段思维活
结合主题,根据下面给出的开头语和情节脉络续写一个80词左右的片段。
情节脉络:因为奇怪的隔阂,Amanda一直无法取得父母在中国收养的妹妹Li的信任,这让她深感失望与困惑→因电视中正在播放中文动画片这一机缘巧合,使得Amanda发现了不信任的产生源于语言沟通的障碍→于是她主动提出跟妹妹一起看中文动画片……
“That's it,” Amanda sped to Li's room.
参考范文:
“That's it.” Amanda sped to Li's room.She gathered all her courage to ask Li in Mandarin whether she would like to see a cartoon with her.For the first time, Li nodded her head in delight, excitement shining from her eyes.Although Amanda was nearly at a loss to understand what the cartoon was about, Li spared no effort to make the program come across.Both sisters were immersed in the warmth between them.Mum came to the door and found them sitting side by side.Happiness welled up from the bottom of her heart.
课时作业(一) 语篇阅读训练——保准度
Ⅰ.阅读理解
When I was in eighth grade, my English teacher Joan announced that we were going to learn about prepositional phrases. “There are over forty commonly used prepositions,” she continued. “And everyone must memorize them.” Joan recited (背诵) these prepositions as easily as saying the days of the week. She said you would find grammar easy when you memorized them. I tried my best and finally succeeded. Then, grammar became easier, just as Joan had promised.
In addition to singing the prepositions, she shared other useful language points. I still remembered her catchy phrase: “Good better best, never let it rest, until your good is better, and your better is best.”
After high school, I went to college, majoring (主修) in — my parents couldn't believe it — English! In a creative writing class in my junior year, I recited the prepositions for my professor and classmates. I explained how my eighth grade teacher, Joan, had often said that a strategically placed prepositional phrase could add depth and variety to sentences. Impressed, my professor asked for a copy of Joan's list and other tricks of the trade that I remembered.
After graduating from college, I landed a job teaching eighth grade English. I tried best the way Joan had to make grammar easy. I started the unit with prepositions coming first. Memorization was the important part. Before long, the students were singing the prepositions to their favorite tunes. One year, since it was near Christmas, we all sang the prepositions to “Jingle Bells”.
I also required students to recite the prepositions in ten seconds or less. If you thought that was impossible, then you didn't know eighth graders. They welcomed any trouble, and with no homework as a motivator, they got right down to business. I pulled out a stopwatch and timed the students daily to judge their progress; 21, 16, 12, then bingo, 10 seconds!
I taught eighth grade English for thirtyeight years. Looking back, teaching English was a tough but worthwhile job, and I loved it every day.
语篇解读:本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述了作者的英语老师Joan教语法的独特方法对他的影响。
1.Why were Joan's students asked to memorize prepositions?
A.Joan wanted them to overcome their weak points.
B.Joan thought this benefits their grammar learning.
C.Memory exercises are a quick way to learn English.
D.Prepositions are a hot part to be examined in exams.
解析:选B 推理判断题。根据第一段中“She said you would find grammar easy when you memorized them.”可知,John 让学生记介词短语的原因是这对学习英语语法有好处。
2.What did the author do when he became a teacher?
A.He valued prepositions memorization like Joan did.
B.He often asked Joan for advice about English teaching.
C.He created some ways of teaching suitable for students.
D.He got to understand the difficulty in teaching prepositions.
解析:选A 细节理解题。由第四段中“I started the unit with prepositions coming first. Memorization was the important part.”可知,作者也是和他的英语老师Joan一样重视介词的记忆。
3.What can be inferred about the author's students from Paragraph 5?
A.They joined colorful afterclass activities.
B.They tried their best to avoid their homework.
C.They sometimes failed to follow the author's instructions.
D.They made gradual progress in remembering the prepositions.
解析:选D 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段尾句可知,学生在记忆时间上不断缩短,由此可见他们不断取得进步。
4.Which of the following can be the best title of the text?
A.An influential teacher
B.How to learn English grammar?
C.My major in college
D.My job
解析:选A 标题归纳题。通读全文可知,文章主要讲述了作者的英语老师对他的影响。
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
Learning Chinese as a second language is good for me in many ways.
__5__ Before learning Chinese it felt as if I were on a boat, sailing on the water and looking around but not truly being able to see the wonders that lay below me.But after being more familiar with this language, I can read a large number of the words and write most of them, too.__6__
Learning Chinese has also given me new pieces of knowledge.Now, I see the word “lion” written in Chinese and I can almost see the word that ancient Chinese people wrote to represent the king of the forest.__7__ I came to learn that a few thousand years ago, ancient Chinese people already started grasping complicated concepts and putting them to use, most of which they fortunately wrote down.As a result, today we can read all about that knowledge and put it to use.
Books and characters aside, learning Chinese can raise musical skills and salaries.__8__ Chinese just so happens to be one of these tonal(声调的) languages!Also, learning Chinese can give you job chances in China, perhaps even as a translator.The more job choices you have, the more likely you are to earn a higher salary.
To learn Chinese, you can go to a Chinese school.__9__ Anyway, I believe that learning Chinese can help you just as it has helped me!
A.I almost see a real lion, dancing before my eyes!
B.It has allowed me to understand my family better.
C.Or you can ask for help from a friend or family member.
D.Knowing a second language has helped me read interesting books.
E.Every time I visit China, I feel like a sailor entering a beautiful sea.
F.A study showed that learning tonal languages can help people learn music.
G.Without question, this has allowed me to enjoy more of the beauty of China.
5.选E E项中的sailor,sea和下文中的boat,sailing,water相对应,作者把自己来到中国比喻成水手进入大海。
6.选G G项中的this指代上文中的“I can read a large number of the words and write most of them, too”,说明熟悉汉语有助于作者领略中国之美。
7.选A A项内容与上句涉及同一个主题lion,说明了汉字作为象形文字的神奇之处。
8.选F F项中的help people learn music与上文中的raise musical skills在语义上一致,且下文中的these tonal languages指代F项中的tonal languages。
9.选C C项内容与上文中的“you can go to a Chinese school”是学习汉语的两种不同途径。
Ⅲ.完形填空

阅读下面材料,根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段,使之构成一篇完整的短文。
“Thanks again, Anna,” Peter Smith said, “You did a great job.”
“You're welcome.” Anna Johnson could hardly keep the excitement from her voice.Her first babysitting job had gone perfectly.She'd played games with Peter's three children until it was bedtime.Mr Smith walked her to her front door and waited while she let herself into the house.Anna hadn't even looked at the money Mrs Smith had pressed into her hand at the end of the evening.She'd expected five or six dollars.Now, she saw that it was a twentydollar bill!
Anna imagined her parents' faces when she handed them the twenty dollars.
Things hadn't been easy for the Johnson family since Anna's dad had lost his engineering job a year ago.There had been no new clothes or movies in the last year.They no longer went out to eat on Fridays.Anna didn't really mind, as long as her family was together.But now she could help.Twenty dollars!That was enough to fill the car with gas or to buy a bag of groceries.
Her excitement faded as she wondered if Mrs Smith realized how much money she had given her.Could she have made a mistake?Anna felt bad as she remembered that Mrs Smith had simply pulled the money from her purse without looking at it.
Anna thought, “Maybe Mrs Smith meant to give me the twentydollar bill.Babysitting three children is a lot of work.” Soon Anna remembered that the Smiths didn't seem to have much money, either.But, she silently argued with herself.“They gave me the money.I didn't steal it.”
She found her parents in the living room.Anna took a deep breath and told them what had happened.“I wanted to give the money to you to help out the family, but I think Mrs Smith made a mistake.”She continued.“I'm going to give it back to her.”
Dad settled his big hand on her shoulder.“You just gave us the best gift, Anna.”Mum kissed her.“We're very proud of you, sweetheart.”

I knew that I had put it in my purse.Then this morning, I couldn't find it.”She started to cry.“It's the last payment for something my husband needed.I made a mistake of giving you the twenty dollars, but you are such an honest and kind girl that you did not keep it.”
Paragraph 2:
Mrs Smith opened her purse and counted out six dollars.“I hope you'll babysit for us again.Our children think you're the best babysitter they've ever had, and so do I.I think they will be proud of having such a great sister babysit them!”Anna said yes and went back home happily.When she gave her mother the six dollars, the best gift for her, she felt very proud because she thought she did a great job.
