2、细阅读,因为往往作者在第一段就会给出事件主要要素,如时间、地点、人物、主要事件等。所以在进行报刊阅读时候,抓住第一段内容,相当于抓住了文章主要内容。第3页3、英文报刊或其网站:v中国日报ChinaDaily二十一世纪The21thCentury今日美国报(USAToday)http:/ 56 Whose fault is it?vMain Idea and Structure这是一篇经典报道性文章。文章先描述了1994年发生在加利福尼亚南部地域theBigOne,一次大地震结果。然后借一个在那次地震中死里逃生家庭之口,再现了地震惨烈情景,让读者有如亲身经历那场浩劫。报道随即谈到,即使科技发展到
3、一定程度,能够较为成功地预测地震发生时间和震级,但依然不能完全地掌控地震活动情况。第5页Focus Questionsv1.HowwasthecommunityaftertheearthquakeonJanuary17,1994?v2.WhyJoansfamilycouldmovebackintotheirapartment?v3.WhatstheBigOne?v4.Doscientistsknoweverythingaboutpredictingtheearthquake?Howdoyouknow?第6页Language Points in the Readingv第1段:OnJanuary
4、17,1994,anearthquakemeasuring6.6ontheRichterscalechangedthelivesofpeoplelivingnearLosAngelesintheSanFernandoValleyofsouthernCalifornia.1994年1月17日,一场里氏6.6级地震改变了居住在加利福尼亚南部SanFernando山谷洛杉矶附近人们生活。学习句中两个定语从句。anearthquakemeasuring6.6ontheRichterscale=anearthquakethatmeasured6.6ontheRichterscale,“测量为里氏6.6级
5、地震”。peoplelivingnearLosAngeles=peoplewholivenearLosAngeles,“住在洛杉矶附近人们”。Thedisasterleftatleast55peopledead,destroyedordamagedthousandsofhomes,broughtdownmajorhighways,andrupturedgasandwatermains.这场灾难造成了最少55人死亡,摧毁破坏了成千上万所房屋,破坏了公路干线,造成了煤气和主输水管道破裂。造成损失预计在300亿美元左右。这是一个简单句,只有一个主语,但有几个并列谓语动词,并列谓语部分用逗号隔开,最终
6、两个谓语动词之间要用一个and隔开。如:Jackboughtapackofcigarettes,unwrappedit,tookoneoutandlitit.Jack买了一包烟,打开它,取出一根,点燃了。第7页v第2段:EventhoughtheresidentsofCaliforniahavealwaysrealizedthatearthquakesareaveryrealthreat,mostsaygoingthroughoneisanexperiencethatyoucantimagineuntilitsactuallyhappened.即使加利福尼亚居民都一直意识到地震威胁是现实,可很
7、多人说地震这种经历,在它真正发生之前你是无法想象。这是个转折关系复合句,eventhough,“即使,即便”。earthquakesareaveryrealthreat.主谓是复数,宾语是单数,是把主语看成一类现象来看,“地震是一个真实威胁”。第8页vnot(A)until(B),“直到(B)才(A)”。not也能够用其它否定副词代替,如课文中:butIneverfeltituntilIwastogetherwithmyfamilyoutsideandsawthatmyfeetwerebleeding.我和家人到了外面看到我脚流血时候才发觉(我脚破了)。Theymanagedtoescapes
8、afely,exceptforthecutsonJoansbarefeet.他们总算安全逃脱,只是琼光脚给划破了。exceptfor,“除了”,表示美中不足遗憾。如:Thepaintingismostlyperfect,except forasmalltaintontheleftmarginofthepaper.这幅画几乎完美无缺,只可惜画纸左边有一个小污点。第9页v第3段:Noteveryonewasthatfortunate.并非全部些人都那么幸运。用否定词not开头后接一个泛指代词,用来表示部分否定。如:Not allarepresent.不是全部些人都出席了(有部分人没有出席)。Not
9、 anyoneisresponsibleforthat.不是任何人都有责任(有部分人没有责任)。第4段:Couldanyonehavepredictedthisquake?有些人预测到了这场地震吗?情态动词+现在完成时,用来猜测已经发生动作。如:Severalpeoplemust have woundedinthetrafficaccident.这场车祸中一定有几个人受伤了。变为普通疑问句就是:Mustseveralpeoplehave woundedinthetrafficaccident?回答:Yes,theymust./No,theymustnt.第10页vIntheareaswhere
10、theycantpass,pressurebuilds,eventuallyeruptingintoanearthquake.在移动不开地方,就产生了压力,最终造成地震暴发。这句话主干其实就是pressurebuilds,前面部分intheareawheretheycantpass是地点状语,“在移动不开地方”,后面部分是伴随状语,说明pressurebuilds产生结果,eventuallyeruptingintoanearthquake=whicheventuallyeruptsintoanearthquake,“最终造成地震暴发”。第11页v第5段:Theaftershocksofthe
11、quakecangivescientistssomehelpinmappingoutwherethesehiddenfaultlinesare.一场地震余震能够帮助科学家预先绘出隐藏着断裂带位置。1togivesb.sth.,这里give后接双宾语,类似使用方法动词还有tell,ask,lend等。如:Tellherthetruth,orshewillfindnothing.告诉她真相,不然她什么也不知道。2helpin(doing)sth.,在某方面帮助。3tomapout绘出第12页Answers to the Focus Questionsv1Howwasthecommunityafte
