《新思维英语阅读Ⅲ》教学辅导(第2章)CHAPTER 2GENDER ROLESTheme Introduction:Most of us would agree that men and women are different, but we disagree about exactly how and why they are different. The differences sometimes cause problems in family and social systems. In this chapter you will look at the question of gender roles, the roles we take in our family and at work according to our gender. Are these gender roles natural or created by society? Do different societies have different gender roles? And how are gender roles changing in today's world?Reading Skill Practised: Predicting and SurveyingGood readers can predict the content of what they will read, that is, they can guess the general ideas before they read. Do they have special magic powers? Probably not! They have simply learned to skim the title, headings, photos, etc. in order to gather a little information before reading. Skimming something in order to make predictions is called "surveying". Surveying a reading passage, a chapter, and a textbook before reading it helps the reader to make a mental map, and to read more quickly and accurately.Reading Skill (1): PredictingPredicting means to guess something, based on some information. Weathermen predict the weather, using clues and information. Research shows that readers who are skillful at predicting information, read more quickly and accurately. You can predict the content of the article, before you read it, by skimming. One reason to skim an article is to predict the general idea and the basic content.One way to use prediction in your reading is to make questions before you read. Asking your own pre-reading questions makes you an active reader. Another way to make predictions is to use your own background knowledge (what you already know) to imagine what the writer will say.Practice (Take Reading One as an Example)1. What do you want to know about gender differences? Write down two questions.2. Skim the article again, noticing the headings. From your own knowledge of gender differences, write down any facts you already know about the topics of these headings.Reading Skill (2): Surveying an ArticleBefore reading "A Women's World" (Reading Two), take about one minute to survey it. Surveying is skimming something in order to make predictions. Here are the steps for surveying an article: 1. Check to see how long the passage is. About how long will it take you to read it once? _______ words _________ minutes2. Skim (let your eyes move through the passage) and underline the following:titlefirst sentencelast sentence3. Skim the article very quickly, circling any subtitles, boldface or italicized words, special punctuation.4. Underline the first sentence in each paragraph. Skim those sentences only. Now try to predict the content. From your prediction, which of the following best describes the content of the reading? Tick your choice.___ The problems with the matriarchal system of the Khasi tribe___ The good points of the matriarchal system of the Khasi tribe___ The differences between boys and girls in the Khasi tribe5. Part of surveying a passage is active questioning. Good readers predict the content by making questions. What do you want to know about this topic? Write down two questions.Reading Skill (3): Surveying Your TextbookAs you have learned, to survey means to skim before reading, in order to make predictions about the general content. This is helpful in understanding a reading passage. It is also useful to survey your textbook when you start a new course. Take about 10 minutes now to survey your textbook, answering the following questions. Remember to use your skimming skills:1. Name of textbook:2. Skim the table of contentsHow many chapters are there?How many readings in each chapter?Which chapter titles catch your eye?3. Skim the Preface or Introduction. What is the purpose of this textbook? What is the most interesting thing that you read in the preface?4. Check the back of the book to see what is there. Mark an x beside any of these study aids you find:____ Answer Key____ References /Bibliography____ Glossary____ Index5. Write 3 sentences describing the contents of this textbook to someone who has never seen it.Rending Skill (4): Surveying a ChapterThe purpose of surveying a chapter is to see how the chapter is organized. If you survey the chapter before you start to read it, you will have a helpful map in your mind of the general content. This will help you to read more quickly and accurately.Steps for Surveying a Textbook Chapter:●Check the length of the chapter and decide whether or not you have time to read it all, or ifyou should divide it into two or more reading sessions.●Read the chapter title and subtitles, and ask yourself what you already know about it.●Look at any pictures, diagrams, or other visual aids.●Read the introduction to the theme and reading skill.Such a survey can help you predict the chapter's content, help you get your mind on the topic, and help you judge the time you will need to complete the chapter. The questions which you ask after surveying will give you a personal purpose for reading and help you keep your focus on the topic.Main Idea of Reading Materials:Reading One:本文通过对比的方式揭示了男性与女性在生理上以及在社会环境中体现出来的性别差异。

《新思维英语阅读》教学辅导(第5章)《新思维英语阅读Ⅲ》教学辅导(第5章)CHAPTER 5 AGINGTheme Introduction:The search for the secret to long life has existed since time began. We all want a long, healthy life. We notice the signs of our own aging with concern. Why do we age? While medical science, and individuals consider ways to prolong human lifespan, the numbers of people over 60 — and particularly those over 80 — are growing fast. This rapid aging of global society brings many problems.Reading Skill Practised: Word AnalysisAs you learned in Chapter 4, learning to read without constant use of your dictionary will help you become a faster and more efficient reader. However, sometimes the context of the sentence does not give enough information for you to guess the meaning of unknown words. Another vocabulary strategy you can try is word analysis. In word analysis, the reader breaks down English words into common parts and guesses the meaning from the word origin.Reading Skill: Word Analysis (Prefixes)Sometimes the context of the sentence does not give enough information for you to guess the meaning of the unknown word. If that is the case, and you feel you need to know that unknown word's meaning to understand the sentence, then you should open your dictionary. However, there is another vocabulary strategy you might try: Word analysis. In word analysis, the reader breaks down English words into prefix (the beginning of the word), root (the middle of the word, and its basic meaning), and suffix(the end of the word). An example is the word international, which canbe broken down like this:Prefix Root Suffix inter nation al(between) (nat = to be born. Nation means literally\ (about, away of being)a group of people born together\and has come to mean a country.)International is about the relations or exchanges between two or morecountriesYou can use this strategy of word analysis to guess the meaning of theword. Especially if there is some contextual information in the sentenceor paragraph, word analysis can be quite useful.Here is a partial list of common prefixes.Prefix Meaning Example ad-, af- move towards advance anti- against anti-agingauto- self automobile bi- two biannual con-, corn-, co- with conversation en- to giveenlighten de- away from, down decreasehyper- over hyperactive inter-,intra- between, among, within international mini- small minibus maxi- large maximum mis- wronglymisunderstand mono- onemonologue poly- manypolytechnic pre- beforepreview pro- forwards, forth promotesub- under substandard super- above supernatural tele- far telephone trans- acrosstranslateultra- extremeultraconservativeun-, in-, im- negative, not unhelpful,impolite, illegalReading Skill: Word Analysis (Roots)Roots carry the basic meaning of the word. The meaning of the roots canbe changed by adding prefixes or suffixes. Here is a partial list of commonroots. Root Meaning Example aud hear auditorium bio life biosphere diet speak, word predictduct to lead conduct ferto bring, carry transfer firm to makestrong confirm gen(e) to create, make generate homo the same homogeneoushetero different heterosexualhydro water hydro-electric ject to throw objectlogy the study of psychology man hand manual mar sea marine mov, mot, mob to move motivate mort dead mortal port to carry portable psych mental, brainpsychologist serv to protect, to keepservantspect to look at spectatorstruct to build construct vis,vid to see, sight videoReading Skill: Word Analysis SuffixBy adding a suffix after the root, we can change the meaning of the word.Here is a partial list of common suffixes. Also added is the word form:adjective (adj): noun (n); adverb (adv).Suffix Meaning Example -ar of, for popular -able.-ible (adj)ability to lovable -er, -or, -ist (n) aperson who biologist-er, -est (adj) more, most shorter,shortest -ful (adj) full ofbeautiful -hood (n) state of beingmotherhood -ic, -al (adj) made of, about,internationalway of being-ious (adj) full of curious -ish(adj) like, similar to childish -ity (n) state of being dignity -ive (adj)causing, making active -ly (adv) in themanner of quietly -less (adj) without worthless -ness (n) state of beingkindness -some (adj) full of, causingtiresomeMain Idea of Reading Materials:Reading One:本文首先指出:人口老龄化问题已成为全世界面临的第一大问题,中国社会也同样面临老龄化危机的挑战;接着分析了老龄化危机的原因,随之在一系列解决方法中提出关怀老年人的一些措施。

考研英语阅读新思维:5 名词+过去分词结构

考研英语阅读新思维:5 名词+过去分词结构

2016考研资料分享群:248600511第五节名词+过去分词结构英语中的过去分词修饰名词,不长的时候一般放在名词的前面做前置定语。

如果这个过去分词做名词的修饰成分很长,为了避免头重脚轻,也是遵循英语句子注意尾重的原则,英语经常把它放到该名词的后面做后置定语。

下面举例来说明这些情况。

74. Works of several historians reveal the moral compromises made by the American early leaders and the fragi le nature of the country’s infancy.几位历史学家的作品揭示了美国早期领导者们所做出的道德妥协以及这个国家早期阶段不稳定的这种本性。

75. This “added-worker effect” could support the safety net offered by unemployment insurance or disability insurance to help families weather bad times.这种“附加工人效应”可以支持失业保险或残疾保险所提供的保障制度,以帮助家庭渡过困难时期。

76. People are absorbed into “a culture of consumption” launched by the 19th-century department stores that offered “vast arrays of goods in an elegant atmosphere.”人们被一种消费文化所吸引,这种文化是由19世纪百货商店发起的,这种百货商店在高雅的氛围中提供琳琅满目的商品。

77. The earliest forms of art, like painting and music, are those best suited for expressing joy.艺术的最早形式,像绘画和音乐,都是那些最适合表达快乐的艺术形式。
