剖析 | 深度解析2017江苏南京盐城一检英语卷疑难(阅读B和写作)

说明



因为健康原因有段时间没有写文章了。一直就想把大市模拟卷的最难的部分评讲一下。先从盐城南京高三一模卷开始。这套卷难度不大,比去年同期的要容易。但是据说考生分数也不高,原因是写作分低。阅读B篇也很难,其它都还好。英语卷就像捏面团一样,前面容易,作文分降下来,还是那个面团。通观期末卷五套,发现都不难。不知道是不是未来高考就这个难度了?如果这样对考生也是幸事。在五套卷中,这套卷算中上的,因此值得认真对待。

阅读B篇

先说阅读。江苏阅读是不跟你讲解题技巧的。你看不懂文章,就不会做题,没什么投机取巧的。你在教辅书上看到的很多解题技能几乎都是针对容易题来的,越是难阅读,越是需要真功夫,需要你静下心来认真读。我们需要从语篇整体阅读速度和理解速度上下功夫,这里面还或多或少有些技巧,但这些技巧说到底都是千锤百炼出来的。我真诚提醒考生:千万不要走捷径,要在大量做阅读中总结不同题材的语篇阅读技巧。

B

In 1880, the traveller and journalist Lafcadio Hearn was living in New Orleans and writing for a couple of local papers, Daily City Item and Times-Democrat. Hearn sensed that New Orleans exists in a state of insidious disintegration (蜕变) — “crumbling into ashes” — thanks to its dangerous geography and its “frauds and maladministrations.” And yet, Hearn wrote to a friend, “It is better to live here in sackcloth and ashes than to own the whole state of Ohio.” New Orleanians have always resembled New Yorkers; they tend to share the sense that to live anywhere else would lead inevitably to a stupid and pitiable existence beyond the bounds of understanding.

In part, the spirit of New Orleans is rooted in the city’s below-sea-level unsteadiness, the condition of looking out — and even up — at the water all around you, the knowledge that water saturates (浸透) the ground you stand on. Katrina, the fierce hurricane that destroyed the Gulf Coast on August 29, 2005, tested the self-possession of every citizen who survived it. More than eighteen hundred people did not survive it, and hundreds of thousands lost their homes. The storm and the terrible flooding that followed — a natural disaster worsened by a range of man-made disasters — revealed much that had been fragile, or rotten, in Hearn’s time and grew worse with every decade: shabby civil engineering; corrupt and inefficient government institutions; and it turned out that an Administration in Washington witnessed for days a city drowning — a largely black city drowning — and reacted with annoying indifference. And yet, in the face of abandonment — in hospitals, on rooftops, on highway overpasses — the residents of New Orleans behaved with resilience (不折不挠). Rebecca Solnit, an acute observer of Katrina and its aftermath, has written, “The belief that a Hobbesian war of all-against-all had broken loose justified treating the place as a crime zone or even an unfriendly country rather than a place in which grandmothers and children were trapped in frightful conditions, desperately in need of food, water, shelter and medical attention.”

Alec Soth, a photographer who lives in Minneapolis and travels the Midwest and the South with the energy of a latter-day Walker Evans, did not join the artists who came to New Orleans a decade ago to capture what he calls the “eye candy of rot and ruin.” Instead, he waited, preferring to capture the city of water ten years later, a city in a state of both persistent suffering and persistent renewal. Soth shows us the upsetting image of a freestanding column — all that is left of a house in the hard-hit Lower Ninth Ward — but he moves toward a vision of promise, a lonely figure at his leisure, staring into the waters of today’s New Orleans. 

语篇解读

这篇文章有些晦涩难懂,不过我们还是能从蛛丝马迹中一窥全貌:

第一段:

重点是:(前面都是专有名词,不用看)New Orleans exists in a state of insidious disintegration (蜕变) — “crumbling into ashes” — thanks to its dangerous geography and its “frauds and maladministrations.”…It is better to live here…

这个句子大意:新奥尔良因为恶劣的地理环境、欺诈和不良管理,已经进入了危险的蜕变。。。最好还是生活在这里。

笔者读到这里是比较糊涂的,既然蜕变,为何依恋?难道金窝银窝不如自家的狗窝?

作者随后又用纽约做比较:…to live anywhere else would lead inevitably to a stupid and pitiable existence.这句话大意是:住在纽约外的其它地方,都必然会陷入愚蠢和可怜的境界。

其实这里就涉及到题眼了:有比较的地方就有题目

58. New Orleanians are similar to New Yorkers in that ______. 

A. they refuse to leave their homeland

B. they exist in insidious disintegration

C. they possess dangerous geography

D. they have a sense of boring existence

答案A项是不用解释的。BC两项都是新奥尔良特有的,D项根据读者自己的常识推测的。

干扰项设置比较有水平,因为这种比较很容易张冠李戴。

第二段:

In part说明了下面开始讲原因:the spirit of New Orleans is rooted in the city’s below-sea-level unsteadiness…,大概就是新奥尔良的这种精神根源于它的海拔低环境。

接下来一个专有名词Katrina,这肯定是举例了,不用细看,例子都是为了说明前面论点的。

用余光扫一下,可知destroyed,not survive,lost their homes可知一场飓风,百姓受苦了!

这个例子结束的时候有revealed,turned out,很重要,暗示后面是作者的总结:shabby civil engineering; corrupt and inefficient government institutions…an Administration in Washington witnessed for days a city drowning…and reacted with annoying indifference。我们大致可以总结:民用设施很差、政府机构腐败低效、官方冷漠心寒。

尽管如此,作者还是不忘照应主题句,一个and yet转折来强调老百姓的不折不饶精神。最后一句比较费解,主要是a Hobbesian war of all-against-all的理解,但我们可以不用深究,因为引用名人所说无非是证明前面的论点。

59. What can we know from the hurricane Katrina and its damaging consequences? 

A. A range of man-made disasters led to the fierce hurricane. 

B. The hurricane happened following a terrible flooding. 

C. The American government failed to provide help and support. 

D. The residents of New Orleans have a deep hatred for governors. 

利用例子的细节出题。由The storm and the terrible flooding that followed — a natural disaster worsened by a range of man-made disasters可知A项错在led to, B项错在following,干扰项都是利用时间顺序错位。D项文章没有提及,百姓只是受苦和忍受,没提憎恨。

第三段:

本段要抓住几个路标词句:instead, but he moves….

Alec Soth…did not join …Instead, he waited, preferring to capture the city of water ten years later, a city in a state of both persistent suffering and persistent renewal…but he moves toward a vision of promise

大意是:Alec Soth关注的是这座城市十年后的情景:重生和持久的忍受,对未来的期待。

60. Why did Alec Soth refuse to join other artists to take photos of New Orleans a decade ago?

A. He also treated New Orleans as a crime zone. 

B. He had high expectations of the future of New Orleans. 

C. He couldn’t put up with the suffering the hurricane caused. 

D. He was traveling the Midwest and the South with Walker Evans.

关键是but后的句子对应B项。其它各项都没有提及。

这篇文章给我们的启发是:

文章不用全看懂,你只要抓住主题句以及某些和情感有关的形容词也能大致明白大意。所以,千万不要因为一头雾水而误以为自己什么也看不懂。我发现所有阅读理解都能用一句话说清楚,本文就是:新奥尔良环境恶劣,政府也不行,但老百姓伟大。

写作


81. 请阅读下面短文,并按照要求用英语写一篇150词左右的文章。

On Nov. 25, 2016, Luo Er in the city of Shenzhen published an article about his 5-year-old daughter’s leukemia(白血病)to raise money for her treatment via WeChat, China’ most popular messaging app. According to the WeChat account, Luo raised more than 2 million yuan. 

However, he was flooded with considerable criticism. On one hand, he was revealed as the owner of three apartments. On the other hand, the Shenzhen hospital treating Luo’s daughter confirmed that the five-year-old leukemia patient was receiving the highest level of medical care, but said the cost of the treatment totaled 200,000 yuan, with more than 82% of those expenses covered by government health insurance. That meant Luo raised 75 times his spending on his daughter’s treatment via WeChat. On Nov. 30, Shenzhen’s civil affairs authority said it had launched an investigation into the case. 

Some Internet users said they thought the campaign may be a marketing exercise or even a downright fraud. “If it were me, I would never use this incident to push my kid in front of the public,” one Internet user wrote on China’s Weibo site. Another said, “I feel that we are c and I’ll save my kindness for others who truly need it and don’t write articles for marketing.”

【写作内容】

1. 用约30个单词写出上文概要;

2. 用约120个单词发表你的观点,内容包括:

  (1)你对这一事件的看法;

  (2)从“公平、诚信”等方面谈一谈你得到的启示。

一、概要怎么写:

写概要一定要先看明白体裁,本文是新闻。新闻类的概要基本都是第一段,但是还要关注下面几段有没有意见,如果有意见还要注意是单一意见还是正反意见,各有不同的写法。

Luo Er, a famous and rich person, managed to raise a large sum of money via Wechat. However, he was criticized for cheating by the public.

这是比较快速的写法,因为去掉了细节(具体时间什么的),同时把下面单一的意见保留进来。如果是相反的意见怎么办,那就是:People’s opinions vary greatly.

二、如何谈看法

先表明自己的立场(I am opposed to his behavior)。谈看法无非就是这件事(事物)的重要性或危害性。

这里就涉及到一个思维发散问题:罗尔的欺骗会有什么后果?

deprive people of trust in donation to those in real need --throw the society in a vicious circle 

这一层不难想,然后让这个程度拔高一点(写作就是或者让它更好,或者更坏)

I am opposed to Luo’s behavior because it is bound to deprive the public of trust in donating money to those in real need and aggravate people’s indifference to others’ suffering. Mr Luo just hid from due responsibilities to take care of his daughter. He will end up being isolated from the society.

这一段你可以积累表示负能量的常用词块:deprive, indifference, hide from due responsibilities, be isolated from

三、如何谈启示

其实启示和看法我看不出有什么不同的,这里需要换个角度说公平诚信的好处了。说起来,就是鸡汤。

我在前面的写作文章里说到,鸡汤类的东西都是可以捆绑在一起的,彼此成因果关系,举个例子,说公平,就要说到机遇、自信等。

先来一个主题句:It should set alarm bells ringing to awaken us to the importance of credibility and fairness. 

思路:

(1) good interpersonal relationships --》strengthen emotional ties 

(2) ensure a harmonious society where each individual will give a helping hand to each other.

Otherwise, …

Dishonesty will cost one opportunities

成段: 

The news should set alarm bells ringing and awaken us to the importance of honesty and just. First, honesty can contribute to good interpersonal relationships and strengthen ties, removing the barriers to communication. (bridge gap) Besides, honesty can ensure us a harmonious society where each individual will give a helping hand to each other. Otherwise, dishonesty will undoubtedly cost us opportunities and no one will trust you. Worse still, it can give rise to guilty conscience and have bad effects on mental development. So I think the authority should enhance the supervision of the identity of those seeking help.

额外一些句子:

1. Having one’s lies exposed could mean losing one’s job, being deserted by friends and family, or even spending time in prison. 

2. Were there no credibility in our society, never could we survive the fierce competition in the age of globalization. 

3. honesty is a blooming flower on the tree of life which should be pursued in the hearts of all.

范文对比:

A father, who posted his daughter’s illness via WeChat to raise money for her treatment, was criticized by the public because he had the ability to cover the medical expenses. 

I’m in complete disagreement with the behavior of the father. It’s apparent that raising money on the Internet is an effective way to help those in need, which can not only assist them in getting through the hardships but also be helpful in creating a harmonious society. However, this father can afford the medical expenses but turned to others for help, which betrayed the public’s trust and made them feel cheated.

As far as I’m concerned, only when one is in desperate need can they seek for help from others. Meanwhile, the government and relevant authorities should make efforts to enhance the supervision of the identity of those seeking help and get to the truth of their problems.
