No. 191 (2021-02-25) 首场春雨劲头齐 体育课 赏 TED
今天开春以来降下第一场大雨,全副武装先来到食堂,为同学们拍下早餐的画面。早读教室如火如荼,今天年级重点监控三楼早读,同时提出理想的早读是战斗状态,是激情澎湃,是心无旁骛,是笔不离手,文不离口。并把高一(1)班作为早读标杆,班主任都可以过去学习。今天David同学报告的话题是: Your pain is the breaking of the shell that encloses your understanding. 疼痛是一种破茧而出的领悟。重生之美,不仅仅是蝶。有了渴望成功的心、脱离虚幻美好的勇气、恒然的坚持,成功就在眼前。蛹的消逝带来的是蝶的新生,只要有志向勇气与决心,再丑陋的毛毛虫也会变成美丽的蝴蝶;再失败的人也会走向成功;再矮小的树苗也会长成参天。David同学把重点放在了重生的讲解,其实这里更应该关注的是疼痛,不论是我们的肉体还是心灵或多或少会受到一些伤害。若是能正确对待,收获的将是一份忍耐,一份坚强,一份勇气,从而能够沉着应对人生路上那未知的困难与挑战。走在未知的旅途,满怀信心,不论是多么的刺痛,却也要奋力前行。昨天的作业同学们都做得十分认真,但Jack、Carl、Tom、George几位同学做得尤其用心。当谈到人们为什么会捕猎动物时,对美食颇有研究的Sharon同学看来:Some people hunt animals for food; 追求时尚的Shirley同学认为:Some people hunt animals for fashion; 在喜爱舞蹈的Amanda同学看来:Animal skin is used to make coats and bags.多才多艺、温文尔雅的Simon同学觉得只不过好玩而已:Others hunt animals just for fun.谈及人类的活动对动物的影响,William同学说:When we build farms or factories, we destroy animal habitats and leave many animals with nowhere to live, or no food to eat. 当我们建造农场或工厂时,我们破坏了动物的栖息地,使许多动物无处居住或没有食物吃。Nadim同学的看法是:We can also put animals in danger without ever entering their habitats. Air, water, noise and light pollution can all have a deep and damaging influence quite far from their source.我们也可以把动物置于危险之中,而不必进入它们的栖息地。空气、水、噪音和光污染都可能在远离源头的地方产生严重的破坏性影响。昨天还在头疼坚持上课的Park同学却有着自己的独到见解:Partly due to pollution caused by ship traffic and other human activities. 部分原因是由于船舶运输和其他人类活动造成的污染。Angela同学视觉放在人口的增长上面:As the human population continues to grow, so does the effect we have on animals.随着人口的持续增长,我们对动物的影响也在增加。文中涉及的要点:When you think of a fearsome hunter, images of lions and sharks may spring to mind.当你想到一个可怕的捕猎者,狮子和鲨鱼的形象可能会立刻跃入脑海。Laurel同学解读到:spring to mind: if sth comes or springs to mind, you suddenly remember or think of it马上想到,突然记起(或想到)。还提问Monica同学:If you refer to Hawaii, a vision of pretty beaches and blue seas may spring to mind.如果你提到夏威夷,美丽海滩和蓝色海洋的景象可能就会立刻浮现在脑海中。还提及一个用法:spring into action / spring into / to life: (of a person, machine, etc.) to suddenly start working or doing sth突然工作(或行动)起来:.“Let's go!” he said, springing into action. 他突然行动起来,说道:“咱们走!”拓展了类似的短语:bear / keep … in mind 记住……;lose one’s mind失去理智;bring… to mind 使……想起;come to mind 突然想起;change one’s mind 改变主意;make up one’s mind 打定主意、下定决心(mind的形式随one的单复数变化而变化);concentrate one’s mind on / upon… 集中注意力于……、专注。还归纳了词缀-some可置于某些名词后构成形容词,表示“易于……的;引起……的”:fearsome 可怕的;quarrelsome爱争吵的,好口角的;troublesome令人烦恼的、讨厌的。接着刚才Simon同学的话继续:Still others hunt animals just for fun: deer are tracked and shot by people who enjoy the excitement of the sport. 还有一些人猎杀动物只是为了找乐子:那些追踪、射杀鹿的人喜欢狩猎的刺激。track意为to follow a person or animal by looking for proof that they have been somewhere, or by using electronic equipment 跟踪,追踪。还记得想为老百姓做好事,将来要当一名警察的Carl同学,其理想高校是上海交大。并一直Keep the goal in mind,这个例句让他一下看到了未来工作的画面:Police have been tracking the criminal for months.警察儿个月来都在追踪那名罪犯。当然聪明的他还知道track用作名词时其它含义:a muddy track through the forest穿过森林的泥泞小径;We followed the bear's tracks in the snow. 我们跟着熊在雪地上留下的足迹走。railway / railroad tracks铁路轨道;a running track 赛跑跑道。构成的搭配有:keep track of了解……的动态、与……保持联系;lose track of 不了解……的动态、与……失去联系;on the track 在轨道上。让同学们结合实际造句子时,作为班长的Kobe同学说有责任让全班同学走上正道:It is my duty to put them on the right track.平时注重节俭的John同学也记不清在超市花了多少钱了:John lost track of the money he spent in the supermarket. 接着刚才William同学那句话分析:When we build farms or factories, we destroy animal habitats and leave many animals with nowhere to live, or no food to eat. 当我们建造农场或工厂时,我们破坏了动物的栖息地,使许多动物无处居住或没有食物吃。句中nowhere用作副词,表“无处,哪里都不”,位于句首时,句子用倒装语序。Rachel同学说出了大家的心声:We young people have nowhere (else) to go.我们这些年轻人无处可去。Nancy同学说这篇文章并未提及相关她们小组的成员:Nowhere does the article mention the members of their group involved. 构成的搭配还有:go / get nowhere 毫无进展、一无所获;lead / get (sb.) nowhere没有结果;nowhere to be seen哪儿也看不到;nowhere near离……差得远,远谈不上。当讲到“neither/ nor+助动词/ 情态动词/ 连系动词be+主语”,表示“某人/某物也不这样”。Anna同学对下面例句印象更为深刻:She shouldn’t have yelled at you; neither / nor should I. 她不应该对你大喊大叫,我也不应该(对你大喊大叫)。如果前面句子的谓语既有肯定又有否定,或者形式不同,就用句型So it is / was with…或It is / was the same with…;班级Stephen同学非常聪明,但不够努力,Albert同学也是:Stephen is very clever but he doesn’t work hard at his lessons. So it is with Albert. / It is the same with Albert. so+主语+助动词 / 情态动词/连系动词be”表示对前面所述情况的肯定,意为“……的确如此”。如Mark同学因打球赛时不小心骨折,而休养时间太长,造成期末考试仅有一门学科捧得桂冠,所以略感失望,而且的确如此:Mark is a bit disappointed. So he is.如果说Tom同学也感到失望:那就是So is Tom.说到人们捕杀动物的原因,Sharon、Amanda、Simon几位同学们已经说得十分清楚了,但就该句话:What are the three main reasons why people hunt animals?的分析,对语法研究比较透彻的Gracie同学是信手拈来:本句是主从复合句,why people hunt animals是定语从句,关系副词why在从句中作原因状语,其中why也可以用for which替换:The reason why / for which his parents were disappointed was that he failed in the exam.他父母失望的原因是他没有通过考试。如果reason在句子中充当主语、宾语或表语,用which / that引导,作宾语时常省略:I don’t believe the reason (which / that) he has given us for his being late.我不相信他给我们的迟到的理由。
上午第三节体育课,同学们聚在室内观看TED演讲精选视频:《我的建筑哲学让社区参与设计》、《世界最大家族聚会,我们都被邀请了》、《这是我们的城市,让我们来修复它》,同学们看得津津有味,出现了很多刚刚学过的词汇:in addition to;identity;the forest region;illegally;unrealistic;undesirable;bring history alive;a family reunion;a city of four million people;incredibly unequal;at its full potential;natural resources;相信同学们看后,对自己的值日报告起到一个很好的示范作用。
午饭、午练、午休,一直到下午美术课后的听力,同学们全都快速赶来认真完成,其中Mark、Teresa、John三位同学取得满分的好成绩。随后本学期教我们历史的胡主任,对同学们课堂上的表现十分满意:听课专心、思维敏捷、气氛活跃、文明礼貌。再一翻看作业,好感更是爆棚,个个书写工整,并把错误红笔订正。历史课代表Helen同学也十分负责,督促每个小组将作业全部收齐,没有一人潦草应付或不交的现象发生,为本学期历史这一学科的学习开了一个好头。特别是下午第四节自习课的纪律,同学们坐在里面真是一种享受,相信学习的效果定会翻倍。同时学校各级领导每天多个时段的检查巡视对班级同学的自我管理起到了一个强大的助力作用。
下晚自习后,年级毛春铧主任来到内高宿舍查看同学们就寝情况。
