📌 这节课讲了什么

阅读课,板书标题是"阅读是思想库"——课上不只是做题,还把游戏里的英文道具说明直接拿来当阅读材料。

三条线:

  1. 读之前先看什么:词性 / 同义词 / 上下文;读标题、斜体字、首段前两句;分清正序题(填空、判断、选择)和乱序题(匹配);
  2. True / False / Not given 的判定逻辑:一致是 T,相反、反义词、否定是 F,原文根本没提是 NG;
  3. 实战三篇:儿童玩耍(The importance of children's play,判断 + 摘要填空)、Alexander Henderson 传记(判断 + 摘要填空)、摩天楼设计(Back to the future of skyscraper design / Could urban engineers learn from dance?,匹配)。

🧱 方法:读文章之前先看这些

板书最上面三列,是"遇到生词走哪条路"的三个方向:

思路 板书示例
词性 economy — economically / ecnomic(→ economic)

上下文 food — dumplings / chicken / vetgetables(→ vegetables)

读的时候先抓三样东西:

  • 读标题

  • 首段前两句

题型分两类来对待:

顺序 题型
正序 填空 / 判断 / 选择

💬 值得记住的句子

儿童玩耍那篇

Brick by brick, six-year-old Alice is building a magical kingdom.

Play in all its rich variety is one of the highest achievements of the human species.

'Somehow the importance of play has been lost in recent decades. It's regarded as something trivial, or even as something negative that contrasts with "work".'

the ability to self-regulate has been shown to be a key predictor of academic performance.

observing children at play can give us important clues about their well-being and can even be useful in the diagnosis of neurodevelopmental disorders like autism.

Children wrote longer and better-structured stories when they first played with dolls representing characters in the story.

'Many teachers commented that they had always previously had children saying they didn't know what to write about. With the Lego building, however, not a single child said this through the whole year of the project.'

生词表也一起给了:

* Lego: coloured plastic building blocks and other pieces that can be joined together

Henderson 那篇

Born in Scotland, Henderson emigrated to Canada in 1855 and became a well-known landscape photographer

Although he never liked the prospect of a business career, he stayed with it to please his family.

Henderson learned photography in Montreal around the year 1857 and quickly took it up as a serious amateur.

In spite of their friendship, their styles of photography were quite different. While Notman's landscapes were noted for their bold realism, Henderson for the first 20 years of his career produced romantic images, showing the strong influence of the British landscape tradition.

When Henderson died in 1913, his huge collection of glass negatives was stored in the basement of his house. Today collections of his work are held at the National Archives of Canada, Ottawa, and the McCord Museum of Canadian History, Montreal.

摩天楼那篇

Answers to the problem of excessive electricity use by skyscrapers and large public buildings can be found in ingenious but forgotten architectural designs of the 19th and early-20th centuries

'Policy makers think you can solve energy and building problems with gadgets. You can't.'

Instead, he shows it is entirely possible to accommodate natural ventilation and cooling in large buildings by looking into the past, before the widespread introduction of air conditioning systems, which were 'relentlessly and aggressively marketed' by their inventors.

游戏道具说明(阅读材料)

Four-toed foot of a fowl, pickled in a golden medicinal solution. Craftable item. Boosts the amount of runes obtained from defeating enemies for a certain duration. Since old times, the needy would scrape the meat clean even from a fowl's claw.

Warhawk Ashes Ashen remains in which spirits yet dwell. Use to summon the spirit of a warhawk. Spirit of a Stormwell warhawk, the talons of which have been sliced off so that razor-fine swords could be grafted in their place. With its lord vanquished, and its wings wounded, the hawk perished as it solemnly gazed at its former home. The storm is a warhawk's cradle.

板书在这些图旁边写了几个词:素养 / 学习 / 生活 / 嘴巴说 / 学完 / 学一半。

⚠️ 提醒 / 易错

  1. 第 12 题的三步定位。 板子在 12 题下面写了五个追问:问题在哪 / 谁的问题 / 什么时候的问题 / 什么情况下的问题 / 什么导致的问题。题目说"第一次用乐高创作时孩子想不出点子",原文的时间线却是 "had always previously had children saying they didn't know what to write about"(以前才这样),"With the Lego building, however, not a single child said this"。however 一出现,方向就反了——板书专门标了"时间线"三个字提醒。
  2. 第 13 题圈的是 people。 板子在 13 题旁边写了"原文:people 咋说的???"和"与过去相比":题干拿"现在的人"跟"过去"比,回原文就要去找 people 和时间对比。
  3. 第 11 题为什么是 NG:原文只说"孩子玩娃娃之后写的作文更长、结构更好",没有拿男孩和女孩作比较;题干多出来的这层比较,原文没提,所以选 NG。
  4. 摘要填空先定词性再填。 比如 populations of 3 ___ 后面跟的是复数谓语 have grown,答案就是复数名词 cities;increased 6 ___ in schools,increased 是形容词,后面接名词 competition。
  5. 匹配题是乱序的,所以先把题干里的名词性短语圈出来(比如第 4 题的 unforeseen problem arising from ignoring the climate),再回文章找同义改写。

说明:儿童玩耍 12、13 两题,Henderson 判断 1–8,以及 Henderson 摘要 9–13,板书上都只标了关键词和定位记号,没有写答案,本文照此如实保留。
