如何推断作者的观点态度
作者观点态度题是指针对作者的写作意图、观点态度和对事件的评价设问的题目。作者的观点态度除了直接言明外，还经常在文章中间接表达出来。我们可以通过全文的叙述，从文章的主要内容出发去理解作者的观点，切忌主观臆断，以自己的观点取代作者的原意。如第5题，从最后一段A Land of Adventure中的描述可以看出，作者认为此次旅行既有挑战性又很值得。
(二)阅读表达
1．How does the writer wake up in the morning
__________________________________________________________
2．What did the Sami use reindeer for
___________________________________________________________
__________________________________
He wakes up to the sound of the wind buffeting the cloth of his tent.
They used the reindeer's meat for food, their bones for tools, and their skin for making clothes and tents.
3．Why does the writer think the sweat and hard work are worth it
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
The beautiful and wild place makes him feel lucky. And nothing could be better than breathing the fresh air and enjoying the great adventure.

依据写作顺序把握文章意图
本语篇是一篇游记类文章，此类文章一般采用时间顺序、空间顺序、方位顺序或移步换景顺序行文，阅读时要把握作者的立足点和观察点，明确作者是怎样把观察到的全貌呈现在读者面前的，进而透过作者所写之景和所状之物来体会作者的内心感受，最终明确文章的主旨大意和写作意图。如本文第二、三段按时间顺序行文，运用了Around 9,000 years ago→Soon after→In 1909→Today的时间标志介绍萨勒克国家公园的历史，引导学生体会建立国家公园的意义。

课文写法借鉴
(一)赏用词之妙　
1．I wake up to the sound of the wind buffeting the cloth of my tent.
赏析：本句中运用了动词“buffet”，意为“(风)冲击”，描绘了风猛烈吹击帐篷的声音，表现了自然环境的恶劣。运用了动词短语“wake up to”，让读者身临其境地感受到作者的经历，增强了文章的感染力。
2．Being in such a beautiful and wild place makes me feel blessed to be alive.
赏析：本句中“blessed”一词被用作形容词，表示感到幸运或受到祝福的状态。它强调了作者对于身处这样一个美丽且充满野性的地方的感激和欣喜。同时，这种情绪也反映了作者对于生命的热爱和对于自然环境的欣赏。
提能训练/试翻译下面的句子
①I wake up to the sound of birds chirping, filled with energy and enthusiasm for the new day.
———————————————————————
②I couldn't wish for a more perfect job.I feel blessed to work here.
————————————————————————
我在鸟鸣声中醒来，对新的一天充满了活力和热情。
我再也找不到更棒的工作了。在这里工作我感到幸福。
(二)赏句式之高　
1．Even though the sun is brightly shining, telling whether it is morning or night is impossible.
赏析：本句是一个复合句。even though引导让步状语从句，表示“尽管”，这种表达方式突显了接下来的信息的重要性。主句中运用了动名词短语telling ... or night作主语，其中whether引导宾语从句，作telling的宾语，强调了判断时间的困难程度。
2．For example, this morning my breakfast is flat bread warmed over a fire, dried reindeer meat, and some sweet and sour berries that I found growing near my tent.
赏析：本句中的表语是三个食物名词，简洁明了地表达了作者的早餐内容。其中warmed over a fire为过去分词短语作后置定语，修饰flat bread；that引导定语从句，修饰先行词berries，更加生动形象地描述了早餐的具体情况。
提能训练/完成句子
①I looked forward to the pay, ________________________ how much it would amount to.
我期待着这份薪水，尽管我不确定它将是多少。
②The method _______________________ is to have our employees trained now and then.
我们公司采用的方法是不时地对员工进行培训。
even though I wasn't sure
adopted by our company
(三)赏文笔之美　
I leave my tent and walk over to the mountain edge. Spreading out before me, branches of the Rapa River flow through the valley below. I'm in the remote far north of Sweden in Sarek National Park, a place with no roads or towns.
赏析：这段文字描绘了作者一个人站在瑞典萨勒克国家公园的山区边缘，俯瞰拉帕河的分支在山谷中流淌的景象。作者使用了第一人称的视角，使读者能够更直接地体会到他的感受。同时作者还通过感官体验的描写增强了描述的画面感，如使用了flow through the valley below的表述让读者能够感受到河流流动的声音，使读者对所描绘的环境有更深入的感知。

提能训练/翻译句子并体会其中的环境描写
As I stepped into the room, a wave of warmth surrounded me, accompanied by the comforting aroma of freshly brewed coffee. Sunlight filtered through the sheer curtains, casting a soft glow on the furniture. It felt like a peaceful sanctuary.
当我踏进房间，_______________________，伴随着刚煮好的咖啡的香气。阳光透过薄薄的窗帘，_________________________。这感觉就像一个宁静的避风港。

一股温暖的浪潮包围着我
给家具披上一层柔和的光晕

Now I spend three weeks out of every month travelling and have over 464,000 fans following me online. I've got to know more about this country and its people.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
While most parks tend to draw families in the summer and fall, there are also ideal spots for adventurous winter trips.
Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming
The country's oldest and best-known national park takes on an almost otherworldly atmosphere in winter: the air filled with rolling steam, the strong colors of hot springs, the surrounding white landscapes, let alone the impressive wildlife during this time, like bison (野牛), wolves and playful red foxes. Just book a guided hiking tour to get a ranger's perspective on the park and local people.
Joshua Tree National Park, California
With its giant red rocks and unique trees, you'll feel like stepping onto a foreign planet as you spend hours hiking the Panoram a Loop or Maze Loop. The park is recognized as an International Dark Sky Park, featuring virtually zero light pollution and the country's best views of a starry sky.
Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona
A significantly lower number of visitors in winter means you can take in unblocked views of the South Rim, and get to see the rare beauty of the Grand Canyon dusted with snow. For those adventurous and daring, it is recommended to hike the Bright Angel Trail and take the chance to see the canyon's wintertime wildlife, including mule deer, elk (驼鹿), and bald eagles.
Virgin Islands National Park, St. John
Surprise! Not all wintertime national park trips need to involve snow. Virgin Islands National Park is most famous for its white-sand beaches. You can also hike inland to visit old sugar plantations, or venture out to the water to swim along with sea turtles and manta rays. You will definitely enjoy a different winter here.
语篇解读：本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了四个适合冬季冒险旅行的国家公园。
1.Which park will one choose if he or she is interested in stars
A．Yellowstone National Park.
B．Joshua Tree National Park.
C．Grand Canyon National Park.
D．Virgin Islands National Park.
√
解析：细节理解题。根据“Joshua Tree National Park, California”部分中“The park is recognized as ... best views of a starry sky.”可知，如果游客对星星感兴趣，可以去Joshua Tree National Park。
2．What can we know from the passage
A．The Bright Angel Trail is challenging in cold weather.
B．The four parks are all well-known for the sports on snow.
C．There is a slight drop in visitor numbers in winter in these parks.
D．Virgin Islands National Park lies in an area with rolling steam and hot springs.
√
解析：推理判断题。根据“Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona”部分中“For those adventurous ... and bald eagles.”可推知，在冬天去the Bright Angel Trail徒步旅行是具有挑战性的。
3．What's the best title for the passage
A．The Ideal Spots for Adventures
B．The Rules to Follow in the Wild
C．The Big Attractions for Families
D．The Best National Parks in Winter
√
解析：标题归纳题。根据第一段并结合后文内容可知，本篇文章主要介绍了四个适合冬季旅行的国家公园。由此可知，D选项(冬季最佳国家公园)适合作本文最佳标题。
B
One week after I started working in Beijing, I decided to visit a place of interest called the Summer Palace. Before setting off, I researched it on the Internet. The Summer Palace is composed mostly of a lake, but it's surrounded by beautiful greenery and a walkway that circles the lake. It is recommended that you give the Summer Palace about three hours. If you try to walk around it, it could take five or six hours. With that knowledge of it, I set off.
The highlight of the tour had to be the view from the Tower of Buddhist Incense. It sits on the top of a large hill overlooking the lake and is worth a climb. It was built as a place to worship Buddha. And in the Summer Palace, unlike in most of other places, photography isn't allowed in most of the buildings. Most of the statues of Buddha and the other artifacts are ________ to photos.
off-limits
Another highlight was seeing the stage created for the Dowager Empress where she watched operas and other theater items. There are box seats that surround the stage and it is large. You could almost imagine royalty reviewing the actors from the boxes and the stage.
I do recommend taking a boat ride if you go, which takes you from one side of the lake to the other side where you can see another set of buildings. And it is fun. You can also rent an electric or paddle boat if you want. But since it was just me, I went on one of the biggest boats with other people.
I spent another four hours wandering around the Summer Palace. But I didn't see all of it because it was getting dark. How I wish I could visit it again.
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章记叙了作者游玩北京颐和园的经历。
4．Before setting off to the Summer Palace, the author ___________.
A．asked others about it
B．didn't think it was large
C．didn't think it was small
D．learned something about it
√
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段中“Before setting off, I researched it on the Internet.”可知，作者在出发前上网了解了一些颐和园的情况。
5．What does the underlined word “off-limits” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A．Forbidden. B．Allowed.
C．Charged. 　 D．Limited.
√
解析：词义猜测题。根据第二段中“And in the Summer Palace, unlike in most of other places, photography isn't allowed in most of the buildings.”可知，颐和园的大多数建筑不允许拍照。由此推知，位于建筑中的佛像和手工艺品大多也禁止拍照，因此off-limits与forbidden意思相近。
6．What do we know about the stage mentioned in the text
A．It sits on the top of a hill.
B．It is the largest stage all over China.
C．Operas are performed there at times.
D．It was for royalty to watch performances.
√
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段中“Another highlight was ... and other theater items.”可知，戏台是给皇室看戏剧等演出的。
7．Which of the following correctly describes the author's tour
A．She took a boat by herself.
B．She spent four hours in the Summer Palace.
C．She only toured parts of the Summer Palace.
D．She didn't enjoy the trip because it was too late.
√
解析：细节理解题。根据最后一段中“But I didn't see all of it because it was getting dark. How I wish I could visit it again.”可知，因为天快黑了，所以作者没能欣赏到颐和园的全部景观。
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
Cities are diverse ecosystems. In addition to visitors from the world, a large number of species share our urban areas. _____
Because cities are built for humans, they do not always provide suitable habitats for wildlife. _____ But when we cut grass or plant flowers, we destroy natural habitats.
8
9
However, our actions sometimes help other species. When a bridge in Austin, Texas was repaired, engineers added small gaps running along the length of its bottom. This made a good home for bats, and soon the bridge was the home of thousands of bats. ______Now, they have come to value their winged neighbours. The bats are a tourist attraction, and they eat lots of bugs every night.
10
_____The Beijing Olympic Forest Park is a good example. The park used native plants and created open, natural spaces for wildlife: The result is a zone in Beijing with over 160 species of birds. In many ways, the park is the opposite of a zoo. ______
11
12
Another example is a tall “Birdscraper” building in New York, which is in the middle of a lake. Birds would sit on it, and their droppings would fall into the water to feed water plants which would then create oxygen through photosynthesis (光合作用)．
Only if we learn to share our space can we become better neighbors to the wildlife around us.
A．Therefore, we should learn to exist in harmony with nature.
B．Instead of being kept in cages, wildlife can move about freely.
C．At first, people were afraid of the bats and tried to get rid of them.
D．There are also structures built with the objective of bringing wildlife into the city.
E．For example, most city parks are kept neat and tidy so that humans will find them beautiful.
F．In the past, bats always disturbed the life of people there and caused a lot of trouble to them.
G．As our cities spread, we need to think about what it is like for other species to have human neighbors.
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了作者对人类城市与野生动物关系的思考。
8．选G　根据上文可知，本段谈论的是人与其他物种之间的关系，选项G(随着我们的城市扩张，我们需要思考其他物种有人类邻居是什么样的) 符合语境。
9．选E　根据上文可知，城市是为人类建造的，城市的公园也是为人类服务的。选项E(例如，大多数城市公园都保持整洁，这样人们就会发现它们很美) 符合语境。
10．选C　根据后句的时间标志词可以判断，空格处所填句子与后文内容存在时间节点的对照关系，选项C中的At first与后面的Now形成对比，且与蝙蝠有关。
11．选D　联系下文可知，本段主要介绍有些建筑是为野生动物建造的，所以选项D (也有一些建筑是为了将野生动物引入城市而建造的)符合语境。
12．选B　根据上文可知，这个公园为野生动物提供开放的、天然的空间。选项B(野生动物可以自由活动，而不是被关在笼子里)符合语境，其中的Instead of与空前句中的opposite形成意义上的呼应。Section Ⅰ　“Reading and Thinking”的课文习读环节

如何推断作者的观点态度
作者观点态度题是指针对作者的写作意图、观点态度和对事件的评价设问的题目。作者的观点态度除了直接言明外，还经常在文章中间接表达出来。我们可以通过全文的叙述，从文章的主要内容，尤其是饱含情感色彩的词汇及表逻辑关系的关键词出发去理解作者的观点，切忌主观臆断，以自己的观点取代作者的原意。如第5题，从最后一段A Land of Adventure中的“difficult”“However ... feel blessed”等词汇可以看出，作者认为此次旅行既有挑战性又很值得。

依据写作顺序把握文章意图
本语篇是一篇游记类文章，此类文章一般采用时间顺序、空间顺序、方位顺序或移步换景顺序行文，阅读时要把握作者的立足点和观察点，明确作者是怎样把观察到的全貌呈现在读者面前的，进而透过作者所写之景和所状之物来体会作者的内心感受，最终明确文章的主旨大意和写作意图。如本文第二、三段按时间顺序行文，运用了Around 9,000 years ago→Soon after→In 1909→Today的时间标志介绍萨勒克国家公园的历史，引导学生体会建立国家公园的意义。
(一)赏用词之妙
1．I wake up to the sound of the wind buffeting the cloth of my tent.
赏析：本句中运用了动词“buffet”，意为“(风)冲击”，描绘了风猛烈吹击帐篷的声音，表现了自然环境的恶劣。运用了动词短语“wake up to”，让读者身临其境地感受到作者的经历，增强了文章的感染力。
2．Being in such a beautiful and wild place makes me feel blessed to be alive.
赏析：本句中“blessed”一词被用作形容词，表示感到幸运或受到祝福的状态。它强调了作者对于身处这样一个美丽且充满野性的地方的感激和欣喜。同时，这种情绪也反映了作者对于生命的热爱和对于自然环境的欣赏。
①I wake up to the sound of birds chirping, filled with energy and enthusiasm for the new day.
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
②I couldn't wish for a more perfect job.I feel blessed to work here.
________________________________________________________________________
________________________________________________________________________
(二)赏句式之高
1．Even though the sun is brightly shining, telling whether it is morning or night is impossible.
赏析：本句是一个复合句。even though引导让步状语从句，表示“尽管”，这种表达方式突显了接下来的信息的重要性。主句中运用了动名词短语telling ... or night作主语，其中whether引导宾语从句，作telling的宾语，强调了判断时间的困难程度。
2．For example, this morning my breakfast is flat bread warmed over a fire, dried reindeer meat, and some sweet and sour berries that I found growing near my tent.
赏析：本句中的表语是三个食物名词，简洁明了地表达了作者的早餐内容。其中warmed over a fire为过去分词短语作后置定语，修饰flat bread；that引导定语从句，修饰先行词berries，更加生动形象地描述了早餐的具体情况。
①I looked forward to the pay, ______________________________ how much it would amount to.
我期待着这份薪水，尽管我不确定它将是多少。
②The method ____________________________is to have our employees trained now and then.
我们公司采用的方法是不时地对员工进行培训。
(三)赏文笔之美
I leave my tent and walk over to the mountain edge. Spreading out before me, branches of the Rapa River flow through the valley below. I'm in the remote far north of Sweden in Sarek National Park, a place with no roads or towns.
赏析：这段文字描绘了作者一个人站在瑞典萨勒克国家公园的山区边缘，俯瞰拉帕河的分支在山谷中流淌的景象。作者使用了第一人称的视角，使读者能够更直接地体会到他的感受。同时作者还通过感官体验的描写增强了描述的画面感，如使用了flow through the valley below的表述让读者能够感受到河流流动的声音，使读者对所描绘的环境有更深入的感知。
As I stepped into the room, a wave of warmth surrounded me, accompanied by the comforting aroma of freshly brewed coffee. Sunlight filtered through the sheer curtains, casting a soft glow on the furniture. It felt like a peaceful sanctuary.
当我踏进房间，__________________________，伴随着刚煮好的咖啡的香气。阳光透过薄薄的窗帘，________________________________。这感觉就像一个宁静的避风港。

UNIT 3　课时检测(一)　“Reading and Thinking”的课文习读环节
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
While most parks tend to draw families in the summer and fall, there are also ideal spots for adventurous winter trips.
Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming
The country's oldest and best known national park takes on an almost otherworldly atmosphere in winter: the air filled with rolling steam, the strong colors of hot springs, the surrounding white landscapes, let alone the impressive wildlife during this time, like bison (野牛), wolves and playful red foxes. Just book a guided hiking tour to get a ranger's perspective on the park and local people.
Joshua Tree National Park, California
With its giant red rocks and unique trees, you'll feel like stepping onto a foreign planet as you spend hours hiking the Panoram a Loop or Maze Loop. The park is recognized as an International Dark Sky Park, featuring virtually zero light pollution and the country's best views of a starry sky.
Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona
A significantly lower number of visitors in winter means you can take in unblocked views of the South Rim, and get to see the rare beauty of the Grand Canyon dusted with snow. For those adventurous and daring, it is recommended to hike the Bright Angel Trail and take the chance to see the canyon's wintertime wildlife, including mule deer, elk (驼鹿), and bald eagles.
Virgin Islands National Park, St. John
Surprise! Not all wintertime national park trips need to involve snow. Virgin Islands National Park is most famous for its white sand beaches. You can also hike inland to visit old sugar plantations, or venture out to the water to swim along with sea turtles and manta rays. You will definitely enjoy a different winter here.
1.Which park will one choose if he or she is interested in stars
A．Yellowstone National Park.
B．Joshua Tree National Park.
C．Grand Canyon National Park.

B．The four parks are all well known for the sports on snow.
C．There is a slight drop in visitor numbers in winter in these parks.

C．The Big Attractions for Families
D．The Best National Parks in Winter

One week after I started working in Beijing, I decided to visit a place of interest called the Summer Palace. Before setting off, I researched it on the Internet. The Summer Palace is composed mostly of a lake, but it's surrounded by beautiful greenery and a walkway that circles the lake. It is recommended that you give the Summer Palace about three hours. If you try to walk around it, it could take five or six hours. With that knowledge of it, I set off.
The highlight of the tour had to be the view from the Tower of Buddhist Incense. It sits on the top of a large hill overlooking the lake and is worth a climb. It was built as a place to worship Buddha. And in the Summer Palace, unlike in most of other places, photography isn't allowed in most of the buildings. Most of the statues of Buddha and the other artifacts are off limits to photos.
Another highlight was seeing the stage created for the Dowager Empress where she watched operas and other theater items. There are box seats that surround the stage and it is large. You could almost imagine royalty reviewing the actors from the boxes and the stage.
I do recommend taking a boat ride if you go, which takes you from one side of the lake to the other side where you can see another set of buildings. And it is fun. You can also rent an electric or paddle boat if you want. But since it was just me, I went on one of the biggest boats with other people.
I spent another four hours wandering around the Summer Palace. But I didn't see all of it because it was getting dark. How I wish I could visit it again.
4．Before setting off to the Summer Palace, the author ________.
A．asked others about it
B．didn't think it was large
C．didn't think it was small
D．learned something about it
5．What does the underlined word “off limits” in paragraph 2 probably mean
A．Forbidden. B．Allowed.
C．Charged. D．Limited.
6．What do we know about the stage mentioned in the text
A．It sits on the top of a hill.
B．It is the largest stage all over China.
C．Operas are performed there at times.
D．It was for royalty to watch performances.
7．Which of the following correctly describes the author's tour
A．She took a boat by herself.
B．She spent four hours in the Summer Palace.
C．She only toured parts of the Summer Palace.
D．She didn't enjoy the trip because it was too late.

Cities are diverse ecosystems. In addition to visitors from the world, a large number of species share our urban areas. __8__
Because cities are built for humans, they do not always provide suitable habitats for wildlife. __9__ But when we cut grass or plant flowers, we destroy natural habitats.
However, our actions sometimes help other species. When a bridge in Austin, Texas was repaired, engineers added small gaps running along the length of its bottom. This made a good home for bats, and soon the bridge was the home of thousands of bats. __10__ Now, they have come to value their winged neighbours. The bats are a tourist attraction, and they eat lots of bugs every night.
__11__ The Beijing Olympic Forest Park is a good example. The park used native plants and created open, natural spaces for wildlife: The result is a zone in Beijing with over 160 species of birds. In many ways, the park is the opposite of a zoo. __12__
Another example is a tall “Birdscraper” building in New York, which is in the middle of a lake. Birds would sit on it, and their droppings would fall into the water to feed water plants which would then create oxygen through photosynthesis (光合作用)．
Only if we learn to share our space can we become better neighbors to the wildlife around us.
A．Therefore, we should learn to exist in harmony with nature.
B．Instead of being kept in cages, wildlife can move about freely.
C．At first, people were afraid of the bats and tried to get rid of them.
D．There are also structures built with the objective of bringing wildlife into the city.
E．For example, most city parks are kept neat and tidy so that humans will find them beautiful.
F．In the past, bats always disturbed the life of people there and caused a lot of trouble to them.
G．As our cities spread, we need to think about what it is like for other species to have human neighbors.
UNIT 3　课时检测(一)
Ⅰ.阅读理解
[A]
语篇解读：本文是一篇应用文。文章介绍了四个适合冬季冒险旅行的国家公园。
1．选B　细节理解题。根据“Joshua Tree National Park, California”部分中“The park is recognized as ...best views of a starry sky.”可知，如果游客对星星感兴趣，可以去Joshua Tree National Park。
2．选A　推理判断题。根据“Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona”部分中“For those adventurous ...and bald eagles.”可推知，在冬天去the Bright Angel Trail徒步旅行是具有挑战性的。
3．选D　标题归纳题。根据第一段并结合后文内容可知，本篇文章主要介绍了四个适合冬季旅行的国家公园。由此可知，D选项(冬季最佳国家公园)适合作本文最佳标题。
[B]
语篇解读：本文是一篇记叙文。文章记叙了作者游玩北京颐和园的经历。
4．选D　细节理解题。根据第一段中“Before setting off, I researched it on the Internet.”可知，作者在出发前上网了解了一些颐和园的情况。
5．选A　词义猜测题。根据第二段中“And in the Summer Palace, unlike in most of other places, photography isn't allowed in most of the buildings.”可知，颐和园的大多数建筑不允许拍照。由此推知，位于建筑中的佛像和手工艺品大多也禁止拍照，因此off limits与forbidden意思相近。
6．选D　细节理解题。根据第三段中“Another highlight was ...and other theater items.”可知，戏台是给皇室看戏剧等演出的。
7．选C　细节理解题。根据最后一段中“But I didn't see all of it because it was getting dark. How I wish I could visit it again.”可知，因为天快黑了，所以作者没能欣赏到颐和园的全部景观。
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
语篇解读：本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了作者对人类城市与野生动物关系的思考。
8．选G　根据上文可知，本段谈论的是人与其他物种之间的关系，选项G (随着我们的城市扩张，我们需要思考其他物种有人类邻居是什么样的) 符合语境。
9．选E　根据上文可知，城市是为人类建造的，城市的公园也是为人类服务的。选项E (例如，大多数城市公园都保持整洁，这样人们就会发现它们很美) 符合语境。
10．选C　根据后句的时间标志词可以判断，空格处所填句子与后文内容存在时间节点的对照关系，选项C中的At first与后面的Now形成对比，且与蝙蝠有关。
11．选D　联系下文可知，本段主要介绍有些建筑是为野生动物建造的，所以选项D (也有一些建筑是为了将野生动物引入城市而建造的)符合语境。
12．选B　根据上文可知，这个公园为野生动物提供开放的、天然的空间。选项B (野生动物可以自由活动，而不是被关在笼子里)符合语境，其中的Instead of与空前句中的opposite形成意义上的呼应。
