1.新视野英语1长篇阅读 篇一

一、题型透析

长篇阅读主要考查段落信息匹配。

在筛选信息过程中，要求考生在把握文章整体的基础上，对文章的一些细节进行整理、归纳以及同义词转换。

通过历年真题可知，文章长度一般在900~1200词;

题材为科普知识、社会文化和经济生活类;体裁多为说明文或议论文。

篇章后附有10个句子，每句一题。每句所含的信息出自篇章的某一段落，要求考生找出与每句所含信息相匹配的段落。

有的段落可能对应两题，有的段落可能不对应任何一题。

二、4大命题特点

1. 题目绝对乱序，不遵循篇章阅读中的“题文同序”原则。

2. 绝对同义转换，题目大部分考查对某个句子同义转换或对某句话的概括。

3. 通常考查细节，题目多是对文中细节内容的考查。

4. 通常无特殊印刷体。

从这4个大特点我们足以看出这类题的难度：

绝对乱序意味着考生不能按“题文同序”原则逐一解题;

同义转换、细节及无特殊印刷体意味着考生要死掉大量脑细胞去理解所读到的信息，无法快速地定位!

三、4大解题步骤

四级信息匹配题的难点主要在于：

①文章较长;

②部分段落有干扰性(两个段落提到了相同的主题);

③题干中不涉及专有名词或数字(即使有数字也与原文不一致)等定位词，传统的定位法不再适用。

针对这些新特点，考生需要把握以下解题策略。

1. 做题步骤：50%―50%法

文章内容多，信息量大，题文不同序，对考生的短时记忆是一大考验，考生可以采用此方法进行应对，具体为：

第一步先读文章前1~4段，获取文章大意，并提炼所读段落的核心意思(英文关键词)。

第二步浏览5个题干(不一定是前5题)，画出每个题干句子的核心词(注意可能并非是定位词)，初步判断与所读段落是否匹配。

第三步画出剩下未匹配题干的核心词，并与剩下的文章交替阅读，直至做完。

四级真题中，至少3道题可在初步阅读文章后得出答案。

2. 语句核心词提炼的方法

语句核心词提炼是英文阅读的必备技能之一，是提高阅读效率的必经途径。

要想获得该能力，需要考生在明白基本原理的基础上，配以大量练习，但这一能力确实值得考生花大力气训练。

简单说来，这一方法有些类似于缩句练习。

比如某年四级考试真题中的第47题，在做题时可以在句子上快速画出其核心主干：

Airbnb’s success clearly illustrates the emergence of a huge sharing economy.

因此可以简化为Airbnb’s success…a huge sharing economy，方便在做题时查找和进行短时记忆。

3. 干扰段落排除的方法

有时会出现连续两个或两个以上段落讲述同一问题的现象，

这时就需要考生在提炼语句核心词的时候，要准确和全面。

比如某年四级考试真题中的第52题：

Airbnb is a website that enables owners and renters to complete transactions online.

该句的核心词除了Airbnb，website以外，还包括online，如果只画出核心词Airbnb和website，则会误选[B]段，原文的[A]段和[B]段均提到了Airbnb的问题。

一般来说，这种题型的干扰段落多为临近的上下段，因此考生可在这一范围内进行区分。

4. 关键词同义转换的方法

同义转换的方法包括：改变词性、意思相同或相近的词或词组、反义词或词组、句式的变换、语态的转换等。

例如某年四级考试真题中的第55题：

Sharing appeals to the sociable in that they can meet new people.

显然，语句核心词appeals to是[F]段中charm的同义转述;meet new people与meeting new people相对应。

这一方法考生相对较为熟悉。在此不多赘述。

2.新视野英语1长篇阅读 篇二

按照图式的理论, 一个人在接受新信息、新概念和新思想时, 只有把它们同他脑海里固有的知识联系起来才能产生意义。在阅读过程中, 学生要把新知识纳入或同化到原有的认知结构之中, 重建新的认知结构, 才能达成对外界客体新知识的顺应。英语阅读理解的过程, 其实就是读者利用已有的阅读技能领会作者所表达的意图, 从而达到与作者的思想沟通过程;在这种过程中, 读者必须积极调动自己原有的语言知识和经验即背景知识对阅读材料中的信息进行重新加工和构建:首先是文字信息输入, 然后读者在自己头脑贮存的信息中寻找能够说明所输入信息的图式。当这些图式被找到以后, 读者就产生了理解, 否则就不能理解, 或不能完全理解。

图式理论对英语阅读教学的启示

根据图式理论, 在阅读教学中, 可以分阶段对学生进行英语阅读教学:

一、阅读的第一阶段, 在学生原有的图式基础上, 帮助学生建立更多的图式。

图式知识越丰富, 读者的阅读理解力就越强。图式的丰富可从以下几方面做起:1.帮助学生建立丰富的语言图式。语言图式即关于语音、词汇和语法等方面的知识, 该图式是阅读的基础, 也是影响高职学生语篇理解的主要障碍。教师在教学中要把好词汇关, 授予学生一些记单词的方法, 比如, 利用构词法、利用语境、通过上下文猜测及语义场图式 (朱效惠、隋桂岚, 2005) 等方法, 帮助学生扩大词汇量, 加强语法训练, 使学生打好语言基本功, 扫清语言障碍, 为其阅读理解提供条件。2.帮助学生建立丰富的内容图式。内容图式指读者已拥有的关于语篇题材方面的背景知识, 这里的背景知识指两方面的内容:一是关于某种文化的生活方式、社会制度等方面的知识;二是具体阅读文章中涉及的有关学科或专业方面的知识。背景知识能够影响阅读理解的深度和广度, 它能够提供一种结构, 帮助读者组织文章信息, 确定哪些是重要信息, 并对隐含关系作出推测。读者的内容图式越丰富, 就能够越多地将注意力集中在高级阶段的信息处理和提出假设上, 从而达到对文章较好的理解

二、阅读的第二级阶段, 激活学生记忆中存储的图式。

图式理论认为, 在阅读时, 正确理解课文必备的条件之一就是读者在阅读过程中能成功地激活此图式。图式的激活可通过下列方式:1.课文的导入, 可以把学生的注意力引导到指定的教学任务中来, 使他们积极主动地调动与课文相关的图式, 去理解该文章。导入的方式可有多样, 比如借助文中的插图、一些实物、文中的背景知识、多媒体及优美的音乐等。2.通过课文的标题来预测大意。因为课文的标题体现了文章的主旨、体裁以及作者的写作意图。3.设置明确的阅读任务, 进行任务型教学方式, 激发学生积极主动地调动已有的图式, 达到理解文章所隐含的深层意义。

三、阅读的第三个阶段, 充分利用激活的图式, 培养学生对文章的深层理解能力。

1.利用图式的差异性, 在阅读中, 可开展比较性的阅读方式, 如比较文章中人物的刻画手法、文章之间的语言风格、文章的结构特点及主题等方面。来加深对文章的理解, 有利于发现问题, 增强对文章的长时记忆, 抓住文章的本质, 从而达到提高阅读能力的目的。2.利用图式的预测性, 培养推断能力。任何文章都不可能提供全部的细节, 一篇文章的主题是潜伏在语言文字背后的, 作者不可能将主题直接诉诸于文字。3.运用交互式阅读模式, 培养学生的综合阅读能力。按照皮亚杰建构论, 个体的认知图式是通过同化和顺化的交替而不断发展, 是从一个平衡状态向另外一个较高平衡状态过渡的过程。而交互式阅读模式是指较低层次阅读技能 (自下而上模式) 与较高层次阅读技能 (自上而下模式的相互作用, 以达到处理和理解语篇的目的。

四、阅读的第四阶段, 内化、修正图式, 弥补缺漏的图式, 拓展新的图式。

在皮亚杰看来, 图式是主体内部的一种动态的、可变的认知结构, 其在认知过程中发挥着不可替代的重要作用, 即能过滤、筛选、整理外界刺激, 使之成为有条理的整体性认识, 从而建立新的图式。图式的过滤、筛选到整合的过程, 也是图式的内化, 修正, 补充和拓展的过程。教师可以鼓励学生扩大阅读量、开展读后交流, 运用内容图式进行读后的分析, 归纳;运用修辞图式对语篇的线性结构或层次结构进行分析和讨论, 以达到由内引外, 以扩展促储存, 加强内化图式, 修正图式, 拓展图式的目的, 解决由于图式差异或不合适的图式干扰而造成的阅读问题;使阅读的内容浓缩成框架, 使知识间的逻辑关系清晰和明朗化, 便于记忆和再现。

摘要：本文就目前高职英语阅读教学中存在的问题, 阐述了将图式理论引入高职英语阅读课堂教学的可行性和重要性, 探讨了图式理论在高职英语阅读教学应用。并利用图式理论, 培养学生的推断能力, 发现问题、解决问题的能力, 进而提高其英语阅读水平和能力。

3.新视野英语1长篇阅读 篇三

【摘要】语言承载着文化，高职大学英语是高职的基础必修课，阅读是英语运用能力当中的关键之一。基于此，本文从文化教育出发，结合当前高职大学英语教学当中的一些问题，提出了提高阅读能力的方法和渗透文化教育的策略。

【关键词】文化 高职 大学英语 阅读

高职院校肩负着为国家培养应用型人才的重任，在国家人才战略当中占据着重要的地位。随着“地球村”概念的出现与发展，第二语言教育逐渐达到顶峰，英语是全球使用最为广泛的语言，它承载着西方文化。一直以来高职院校当中英语只是一门“工具”，严格说这与国家文化战略是不符的，所以从文化的角度来看，培养复合型高素质人才的关键还是要落实文化教育。

一、概述

1.文化缺失现象。高职院校大学英语教育在发展过程当中多数时候将英语当做“工具”。从文化的角度看，这种理念导致的是文化性的异化。高职院校大学英语课程的开设，在最初就带有功利性即满足社会大众的需求。语言是文化的载体，语言学家的观点中一直强调学好第二语言的关键就是要了解该语言的文化。高职院校大学英语的功利性导致的结果便是价值取向、文化属性方面的异化，甚至出现“中国文化失语”这样的现象。所以在教学中渗透文化，落实文化教育十分紧迫而且必要，同时意义重大。

2.意义。

（1）文化教育的意义。语言是文化的载体，二者的关系是相互依存的，文化不同，价值观、世界观、思维模式等也不同。处理不好文化差异，跨文化交流中便出现各种问题，最直观的例子便是翻译问题。很多西方文学的译作当中语境是明确的，但就是感觉啰嗦或者感觉读起来不顺畅，反过来汉译英也同样如此，这就是忽视文化因素的结果。高职大学英语阅读课程当中使用的阅读材料，显然涵盖了英语国家的各种文化因素，在教学中这些因素是不能忽视的，既要强调基础语言知识，也要强调文化教育，这是提高学生英语交际能力的关键。

（2）阅读的意义。阅读在英语教学中的作用是极其重要的，它能够为英语的听、说、写技能的培养提供有力的保障。首先“听”，直白说就是“听得懂”，其基础是词汇量和语言规律，阅读是积累词汇量，找到语言规律的重要途径。其次“说”，即口语表达能力，同样需要阅读的积累，并从阅读中了解语言的文化背景，从而提高表达能力。“写”也是一样的需要阅读积累。所以阅读是其他英语运用能力的关键点。

二、高职大学英语阅读教学

1.阅读教学目标。大学英语在高职院校当中一门基础必修课，阅读能力是培养的关键目标之一。从教学大纲来看，学生要能够阅读中等难度的英语资料并正确理解，要能够阅读合同、信函、技术说明书等实用文字材料或专业文字资料，要通过阅读掌握词汇、短语、语法、句型等，并就文章大意展开话题讨论。

2.教学的方法。

（1）激发兴趣。兴趣是最好的老师，对英语阅读有兴趣，才能调动自身的积极性，进而全身心投入到阅读当中。所以正确选择阅读材料就比较关键，要保证材料的趣味性、难度适中，却需结合学生的专业情况选择对应的材料。比如旅游专业的学生则需对应于旅游相关的阅读材料，循序渐进，逐步提高阅读材料的难度和涉及范围，增加学生知识面，了解最新行业动态，提高实用性。

（2）传授技巧。

1）培养习惯。阅读习惯的好坏直接关系到阅读的质量。首先要改变逐字逐句默读的习惯，要让学生大声朗读，把握文章的主要信息，并利用这些信息推导文章大意。其次，培养出广泛的阅读习惯，即略读以及检索读。前者是让学生只了解文章布局、基本内容和写作基调等；后者则是在略读的基础上通过查阅资料精读文章的某个部分，这是培养学生快速获取信息的关键。

2）阅读方法。首先寻找主题句，就如同高中英语考试当中提供的完形填空材料一样，往往以首句作为主题句，承载材料的主题。能够快速获取信息的关键就是以主题句为突破口。其次，联系上下文，找到文章逻辑关系，一般可利用信号词，如for in-stance，so ，because，on the contrary等。最后猜测词义，即以逻辑关系为基础，猜测生僻词的含义，然后再查字典确定。这不仅能够提高学生的推理能力，理解能力也是提高阅读能力的有效手段。

3）渗透文化。阅读材料当中蕴含的文化因素是阻碍学生快速阅读的一个比较关键的因素，学外语之所以难，就在于文化的差异。这是结合上文内容得出的结论。所以从文化角度来看，提高学生的阅读能力还需要在教学当中渗透文化教育。

其一，观念上的重视。“中国文化失语”现象既揭示了英语教学当中中西文化的碰撞、融合，还揭示了语言教学与文化教育的失衡。所以首先要从观念上重视文化教育的重要性。其二，课堂教学的渗透。阅读材料包含着无法回避的文化因素，以旅游专业来看，涉外旅游就需要清晰地掌握中外文化，否则如何向国外游客介绍中国的人文景点、传统文化。最后，则应利用课外的碎片时间组织兴趣小组或实践活动，鼓励学生在课外广泛涉猎英文阅读材料，如报纸、杂志、小说等。或利用网络上的资源，尤其是电影、脱口秀等，推动文化意识的渗透。实践活动如歌唱比赛、演讲比赛、组织项目学习等。

结束语：在文化视野下，高职院校大学英语阅读教学不能忽视“中国文化失语”的现象，不能仅从基本语言知识出发展开教学。而是要将文化教育渗透进教学活动当中，使学生了解西方文化，掌握用英语推广中国文化的能力，实现英语教学模式的本地化、英语综合运用能力的国际化。

GRE阅读长篇文章文体特征介绍

GRE阅读文章一般为议论文体，而议论文与其他文体的最大差别在于，写作目的是传达作者对于某个问题的观点。大家在读GRE阅读文章的过程中第一要务，必须要判断当前的句子到底是表达的作者观点，还是表述事实信息，而前者的优先级要远远高于后者。请注意，最重要的信息是作者的观点，而不是从其他张三李四王二麻子嘴里说出来的话。

我们不难发现，表达观点的句子往往简单，很多时候用一些褒贬形容词就可以说清楚，而表述事实的句子往往复杂，涉及到实验现象与数据、历史年代与事件等。对于复杂的事实信息，我们知道它们的作用比知道它们到底是什么内容更重要。

GRE阅读长篇文章技巧：弄清主题

弄清楚这篇文章的主角(即被讨论对象)到底是什么，一篇GRE阅读文章的主角不一定是一个具体的人或者事物，也可以是某种抽象的机制。主角其实就一个，而龙套往往有一大堆。在篇幅上，主角较龙套往往也不占优势，龙套作为论证手段，有其存在的必要性。

然而,作为龙套的那一大堆细节重要性是较低的，不是阅读的重点，也不是命题的重点。大家在阅读的过程中，一旦发现有些复杂的内容所描述的对象其实是龙套，那么这些内容一概略读。这个问题在GRE阅读名篇《伊斯兰宗教法》中体现得非常明显，有兴趣的读者可以体会一下。

GRE阅读长篇文章技巧：找到观点

大多数文章的作者为了阐述自身的观点，会在文中引入对立面。首先，这种对立面可以体现为反派的观点，我们经常称之为老观点。这种老观点本身是次要的，而文章中用于支持老观点的细节就更加次要。所以，这些内容只需略读;其次，这种对立面也可以体现为文章在论述过程中用到的让步成分。有些让步成分内容复杂，语言困难，而且没有什么常规逻辑连词引导，因此难以识别。

而一旦考生纠缠于此，那么大量的时间就无谓地浪费掉了。对于这种情况，小站教育总结出的方法是：首先考生通过文首的主题段落或句子判断文章的方向(比如，作者认为某种思想到底好还是不好)，在随后的阅读过程中，一旦发现文章当中的任何内容所表述的方向与主题方向相反，那么这种内容一概略读。

GRE阅读文章多为学术论文

一篇完整的学术论文一般包含下列几个部分。一、引言部分：在这一部分主要告诉读者研究对象所处的学科类别与话题范围，研究的背景(如可行性与必要性)，以及对其他类似研究成果的介绍。

二、主体部分：该部分阐述作者自己的研究方法与理论，以及用于支持自己理论的相关实验现象或历史资料等。

三、延伸部分：在文章的尾部往往会出现话题的延伸，这种延伸的内容与主体部分并不一样，有的情况下会给主体部分的理论加一些限制补充的意见，使得在逻辑上更加严密;也有的情况下作者会提及今后进一步研究的方向。ETS在对原始论文进行压缩时，为了节省篇幅，正常情况下会只取原论文的主体部分。

上述诸点考虑，与其说是GRE阅读文章中的技巧，还不如说是一种基本功。道理上大家都能明白，但要把这些道理灵活地运用到实战中，还需要大量的训练。每当我们的阅读进程被文章中某一块难啃的骨头(难词、难句、难的原理)阻碍的时候，我们首先想到的不是到底怎样去啃，而是啃这块骨头的价值几何，这种文字价值甄别能力一旦练成，近则有益于高效突破GRE阅读题，远则有益于提高大家的文献快速阅读能力。

GRE长难句练习及解析：出版的书信全集

But those of us who hoped， with Kolb， that Kolb’s newly published complete edition of Proust’s correspondence for 1909 would document the process in greater detail are disappointed.

译文：但是我们当中的那些希望(也算上Kolb本人)Kolb新出版的19书信的全集能够更加详细的记录下这一过程的人都大失所望。

解释：该句考察的也是复杂修饰和插入语。首先是受who引导的定语从句的影响，主语those of us与谓语的距离很远是造成该句子你难以读懂的原因之一;修饰主语those of us的定语从句who hoped之中又套了一个of引导的宾语从句，宾语从句的主语complete edition又被一前一后的两个定语所修饰，让整个句子显得错综复杂难以理解是造成句子难懂的原因之二;再者，本就是从句套从句的句子当中又加入了一个小小的插入语with Kolb，这个句子虽小，但是却打断了定语从句前后完整的连接，这可谓是造成整个句子难理解的原因之三。

解法：放眼一望，不难看出本句是从句中套从句，还连带有插入语。为了避免干扰，考试可以直接跳过who引导的定于从句和with引导的成对出现逗号的插入语，直接定位到后面的句子谓语部分，化繁为简：But those of us are disappointed. 如此以来，此题志在必得。

GRE长难句练习及解析：放弃写小说

Fallois proposed that Proust had tried to begin a novel in 1908， abandoned it for what was to be a long demonstration of Saint-Beuve‘s blindness to the real nature of great writing， found the essay giving rise to personal memories and fictional developments， and allowed these to take over in a steadily developing novel.

译文：Fallois提出，Proust曾试图于19开始写一部小说，后又因为某一原因——即Saint-Beuve长期以来所展现出的对伟大文学作品真正本质的盲目无知——而放弃了它，发现该文章引发了某些个人的回忆和小说虚构情节的发展，最终让这些内容以一部稳定发展的小说这一形式取而代之。

解释：本句主要考察的是句子的复杂修饰。从that引导的宾语从句开始，以列举的方式描述其动机的变化。但是因为abandoned之后的状语 for…的结构复杂、用词抽象，并且for后面是what 引导的宾语从句中套的另外一个宾语从句，如此以来这个复杂的结构就隔断了句子前后的整体逻辑，干扰到考生对整句话的理解，所以这个结构不太容易被看出来。

解法：看到句子比较长又比较难理解，就先找句子的主谓结构，然后就不难发现该句子的大致结构为Proust had tried to…， abandoned…，found…，and allowed.。。之后再逐一解决各个小分句后面的部分，各个击破，最后整个句子的意思就迎刃而解了。

7.指导学生阅读长篇名著的一点尝试 篇七

一、因人因时而异，制定阅读计划

1.据时间的长短和学生的理解能力设计相应的阅读内容。平时时间零碎，可读一些短小精悍的作品，寒暑假可读那些长篇名著。

2.根据学段要求推荐不同书目。七年级的学生，可阅读《格林童话》《伊索寓言》《格列佛游记》《童年》等。到八、九年级，学生的思想和阅读能力有了一定提高，可推荐阅读结构复杂、内容较深的名著，如《朝花夕拾》《繁星》《春水》《钢铁是怎样炼成的》《骆驼祥子》《名人传》《三国演义》《红楼梦》《简·爱》等等。

3.学生根据自己的爱好，制定详细的阅读计划。通过由浅入深、循序渐进的阅读，逐步扩大自己的阅读量，提高自己的语文素养、陶冶情操。

二、指导阅读方法，养成良好习惯

1.保持良好的读书心态。读书的关键是自己不应盲目、无计划的读，应静下心来阅读，读名著需联系时代背景，要了解作者的创作背景，还要精心的揣摩原文，理解作品主题内容，要想做到这些，就得真正的读进去，必须有一个沉静的心态。

2.掌握阅读方法。如默读法、跳读法、精读法、略读法等，学会精读与略读。对精读的作品，可采用圈点批注，摘抄，评析等，教育学生养成“不动笔墨不读书”的习惯；对略读的作品大略了解基本内容即可。

3.坚持做读书笔记。摘抄自己喜欢的词句、段落、情节梗概、人物细节、内容赏析等，可写成读后感，谈谈自己对人物的评价，对主题的理解，对作品的感悟等。这样引导学生在摘抄的时候关注、思考自己的个人体验，这也是新课标的一个重要理念。

4.定时交流阅读心得。利用课前几分钟或阅读课进行交流，也可采用宣传栏、办报形式交流，方法不一，只要读有所得就行。

三、研读课本中的名著节选，指导好学生课外阅读

8.长篇小说《狼图腾》满分阅读笔记 篇八

读这本本书时，我首先想到的是草原。我向往草原，从电视上看到过，从课本的描述中想象过。我想那里应该是人间的天堂：阳光总是明媚，天空永远湛蓝，空气总是那么清新，人们的生活富足而安逸。当作者将他那个时代的草原胜景展现在我眼前的时候，我被震撼了，我有一种立即就往草原的冲动，那是我魂牵梦绕的地方啊。那里的湖水总是清澈，可以洗涤你心中的污垢;那里的草原辽阔，让心可以自由的驰骋。我想，面对这样的草原，再怎么自私的人也会变的伟大。由于面对它，你会发现心中有不洁之念时多么的龌龊。我向往草原，我在心里热爱着它，将它与我的生命相连。

随着作者的笔尖，我一步一步走进草原，越往下读，心里越是沉重。我被那些草原的灵魂——草原狼所震撼。当看到草原狼齐心协力围捕猎物时，我感受到的是团结的伟大;当读到阵阵他们捕到的小狼一只只死往的时候，我的心里是那样的难受，我不想看到这样的结局，但我无能为力;当读到领头狼和狼群主力为保护弱小而惨死在枪口之下的时候，除了悲痛，我更多的是愤恨，我痛恨那些可恶的刽子手;当读到小狼为了自由而导致浑身重创的时候，我感受到了自由对一只狼的重要;当读到结尾，草原狼消失，草原消失的时候，我只能说‘一切都结束了’。

1} To improve reading speed

Everything goes very fast in our society, so we need to improve our speed in our study.As English majors you need to read a lot of materials in English.If you don’t have a certain reading speed, you cannot complete this task.So to have a fast reading speed can save your time to get more information or knowledge from what you read in a short time.It is also an important symbol to reflect your language ability and reading ability and also it is important in your TEM 4 and TEM 8 in the future.If your speed is not fast enough, you may not finish your test on time.So it will lead to your failure in the test.So to catch up with the development of our times, and also to be successful in our study, we should improve our reading speed.2} To improve comprehension(understanding)

It is the key significant factor to measure your reading ability.Because our reading purpose is to understand what we read.If we merely emphasize the speed, that is, if you read fast without understanding, all the things you have read will disappear behind your mind.So to improve comprehension is the second task in our extensive reading course.3)To enlarge vocabulary

It is very important to improve your reading speed and the degree of comprehension.You know if you have not a certain quantity of vocabulary you will stop again and again to consult with your dictionary when you do some English reading.In this way, it will certainly affect your reading speed and comprehension.So to improve our reading speed and comprehension, we should enlarge our vocabulary.Active

How can we enlarge our vocabulary?

The Mill on the Floss, 1859-1860

Silas Marner, 1861

Romola, 1862-1863

Felix Holt, 1866

Middlemarch, 1872

Danil Deronda, 1876 etc.Writing Style: pithy, lucid and lively.Weak Points: She described the life of the laboring people and criticized the privileged classes in her works, but her expository tendencies are much weaker.She raised the problem of class contradiction more seldom and less forcibly.The significance of her works: It lies in the portrayal of the pettiness and stagnancy of English provincial life.Her honor: As a famous English woman writer, she has no rival in the study of aspiration and nobility in the mind of woman.The most important man on her literary life: George Henry Lewes.When she was in London at the age of more than 30 she met George Henry Lewes(through her close friend Herbert Spencer a philosopher).At that time, Lewes was a journalist and miscellaneous writer whose family had been broken by his wife’s infidelity.Lewes and Evans fell in love, but he could not free himself to marry her, because of the strictness of Victorian divorce laws.In July 1854 they left England to travel in Germany quietly announcing to their friends

their intension ton live as man and wife hanceforce.In spite of its having no legal status, they always regarded their association as a true marriage.Miss Evans called herself “Mrs.Lewes” and was a devoted stepmother to Lewes’ three sons.In 1855, she read Lewes a sketch of rural life she had written, he admired it greatly and encouraged her to continue writing fiction.She succeeded at last.In 1876, she had achieved a position of respect never approached by any other English woman writer.Even today among all the Victorian woman novelists, only the Bronte sisters seem her equals;in the study of aspiration and ability in the mind of woman she has no rival.At that time Lewes also won a name of his own as a philosophical and scientific writer and critic.Their increasing reputation put them well above mean gossip, so that during last years of their life together, they were often visited by the circle of friends included many of the most famous and respected of their contemporaries.2.About the Novel The Mill on the Floss It tells the love, estrangement and eventual reconciliation of the daughter and son of a country miller.Place: the bank of Floss Time: 19 century V.The Mill on the Floss 1—7 1.True or False(F)1)The story took place in France.(…the bank of Floss, the countryside of England)(T)2)Mr.Tulliver would like his son to be a business man or land-valuer.(T)3)Mr.Riley recommended Mr.Tulliver to send Tom to Mr.Stelling to get the best teaching.(F)4)Tom brought Maggie some nuts and sweets as present when he came home.(…a new fishing-line)(T)5)Tom was angry at Maggie when he was told that the rabbit had all dead.(F)6)Mr.Tulliver didn’t like Maggie because of her naughtiness.(He liked her very much)(F)7)Bessy’s sisters and Tulliver’s sister went well together.(They didn’t go well together)

(F)8)All of the persons at the dining-table, including Maggie’s father, talked against her after she had cut her own hair.{Her father stood up for her and protected her.} 2.Explanation and Discussion 1)(Chapter 1: Description of Dorlcote Mill and its picturesque surroundings.Chapter 2: From this chapter, we know the Tullivers had a son called Tom and a daughter called Maggie.Tulliver wanted to give his son a god education and let him become a business man or a land-valuer.)Why did Mr.Tulliver want to give his son a good education and let him become a business man or a

land-valuer?

Because(1)he wanted his son to be equal to those people who had beaten him because they had had better schooling.(2)A business man or a land-valuer was rich and respected and not frightened of any lawyer who he called rascal.You know he had a great prejudice against Lawyer Wakem.2)What’s the different comment on Maggie between Mr.And Mrs.Tulliver?

Mr.Tulliver considered Maggie was a quick, clever girl and he was fond of her.But Mrs.Tulliver thought she was naughty and half a fool in some things.3){Chapter 3: Mr.Tullver asked advice of Mr.Riley about Tom’s going to school because he had great faith in him.During their conversation, Mr.Tulliver gave his comment on Tom.} What’s Mr.Tulliver’s comment on Tom?

Clever at thins out-of-doors and had got a lot of common sense.But slow with his tongue, he hated books and spelt badly, people never heard him say clever things like the little girl.4)Who did Mr.Riley recommend to Mr.Tulliver as Tom’s teacher?

Mr.Stelling.5)Why did Mr.Riley recommend Mr.Selling to Mr.Tulliver? Did he know Stelling very well?

No, he knew very little about Mr.Stelling.But he was a man of business and he knew his own interest.He recommended Mr.Stelling to Mr.Tulliver just because Stelling was a son-in-law of Timpson and Timpson was an important man in the place and could send Rilay a lot of business.So it is pleasant to be able to give advice when it is asked for.6)(Chapter 4-5: The author gives us a very vivid description about Tom and Maggie, especially about Maggie’s psychological movement before and after Tom came home to show she was very dear girl and full of emotion.).Analysis of Maggie’s psychological movement:

Expectant----------sad------------------happy----------fearful------------(P10 1st para.)(rabbits were dead)(P11-13)

(P13)

miserable------------------------easy----------------------happy-----------------------(Tom was angry and told her(Tom went up stairs(P17 next morning, they

her.)p16-17

They were very

happy.)7)What do you think of the author’s description of Tom and Maggie in Chapter5? Could you see the writing style of Eliot from the description?

A few words bring out the psychological state and innocent vivacity of the brother and sister remarkably true to life.It’s so successful.8)(Chapter 6: The Tullvers’ preparation for the aunts and uncles’ coming.)Why did they invite them to come?

Mrs.Tulliver was going to invite them to dinner in order to ask them

about Tom’s education.9)(Chapter 7: About the family gathering.A terrible determination was forming itself in Maggie’s mind).P23

(1)Do you know what is her terrible determination?

To cut her hair.(2)Why did Maggie determine to cut her hair? P25

Because she felt that her mother and aunts were all not satisfied with her hair.She wanted to be free from her troublesome hair, and she wanted people to think her a clever little girl and not to find fault with her hair.(3)What’s the attitude of all of the persons at the dinner table after she had cut her own hair?

Except her father, they all talked against her and laughed at her.(4)What do you think of Maggie’s action to cut her own hair? The action shows that she was a clever and daring girl.(What’s the result of the family gathering about Tom’s going to school, we’ll discuss it next time.)VI.Homework 1.The Mill on the Floss 8—13

(F)1)The family gathering about Tom’s going to school was very happy and perfect.(F)2)Mrs.Moss married a clergyman.(She married a poor farmer.)(T)3)Tom felt life was difficult during his first three months under the care of Mr.Stelling.(T)4)Mr.Tulliver was satisfied with Mr.Stelling.(F)5)Tom despised Mr.Stelling as he had despised Mr.Jacobs.(F)6)Mr.Tulliver was rather angry that his son should have the same education as Wakem’s son.(T)7)Philip was Tom’s newschool-fellow.2.Explanation and Discussion Chapter 8 Mr.Tulliver shows his strength of mind 1)What’s the result of the family gathering about Tom’s going to school?

The gathering was broken up in discord because of Mrs.Glegg’s scorn to Mr.Tulliver and Mr.Tulliver’s anger.2)What do you think of Mrs.Glegg and Mr.Tulliver from this chapter? Mrs.Glegg was rich, but miserly(P30 in the middle).She looked down upon Mr.Tulliver(P29,upper part;P30, lowerpart)Tulliver had his strength of mind to decide his own affairs.Besides he didn’t like Mrs.Glegg, so he didn’t want to listen to her and even disgusted with what she said.Chapter 9 Mr.Tulliver shows his weaker side.3)What’s Mr.Tulliver’s weaker side? P31 last para.Ordinarily Mr.Tulliver found the world difficult and he acted slowly and timidly.Only when he was angry, he acted surprisingly quickly.4)Did Mr.Tulliver love his sister or was he a good brother? Yes.How do you know it?

From this chapter, we know he was kind enough to lend money to his sister.When he saw his sister cried and worried about paying back the money he comforted her gently even if he needed the money badly.5)(But)Why did he go to her house to ask for his three hundred pounds since he knew that she was so poor and very difficult to return his money?

Because he had decided to pay five hundred pounds to Mrs.Glegg without being asked.He didn’t want to be in debt to his wife’s sister.After all he couldn’t bear Mrs.Glegg’s scorn.(However he still didn’t get the

money because he couldn’t make himself hard enough to force Mr.And Mrs.Moss to sell everything they had to pay him.)Chapter 10 Tom at Mr.Stelling’s

6)How did Tom feel at Mr.Stelling’s house?

He felt life was difficult because he had to learn Latin and to pronounce English in a new way which he had difficulty in.Even to the jokes of Mr.Stelling with him also he had not been used to.So for the first time in his life he had a painful feeling that everything he did or said was wrong.(So he longed for someone to play with.)7)Who did Tom long for to play with? Maggie.8)What do you think of the last sentence of Chapter 10? Could you see the writing style of George Eliot from this sentence?

The sentence just brings out the psychological state and spiritual features of Tom remarkably true to life.It shows the situation quite upset him.He felt very annoyed.We may see this sentence typically reflects the author’s writing style: pithy, lucid and lively.Chapter 11 Maggie visits Tom

9)(From this chapter, we know Maggie came to visit Tom because Mrs.Stelling had invited her to come and stay with her brother.The brother and sister were very happy to get together again.When Tom said that he felt ill at Latin but his father insisted that he must learn it, Maggie said “ I’ll help you now, Tom.”)

What does Maggie’s saying show?

It shows her innocence and love to Tom.10)(Maggie was very happy with Tom here.She learned a lot more about Latin, also she became good friends of Mr.Stelling because of her cleverness.So she told Tom that she would like to go to school with Mr.Stelling and learn just the same things as he did;she felt sure that she would be able to do the work.But Tom insisted that she couldn’t do it.So they decided to ask Mr.Stelling about it.)What’s Mr.Stelling’s answer?(P41)Do you agree with Mr.Stelling’s opinion “girls are quick, but they do not go deep into things”?(Divide the class into 2 groups to prepare for the debate.Group 1: the students who are in favor of it.Group 2: those who are against it.Each group will prepare enough arguments to support their point of view.After discussion, each group will choose four representatives to take part in the debate.)

To Mr.Stelling’s opinion, Tom was very happy, but Maggie was so upset that she didn’t even reply.} Chapter 12 The Christmas holidays 11)(Then Christmas Day came.Christmas was usually very happy, especially for the children.But this Christmas Day was not quite so happy as it had always been before.Because Mr.Tulliver was angry at Christmas dinner.Do you know)Why was Mr.Tulliver angry at Christmas dinner?

He had an enemy, Pivart who had land far up the stream and was making

channels to lead the water from the steam to it.He thought Pivart’s water-channels would stop his mill-wheel.And it’s Wakem who was encouraging him.12)(Mrs.Moss and Mrs.Tulliver hoped that he wouldn’t go to law.But Mr.Tulliver still wanted to do it eagerly.)Why did Mr.Tulliver still want to do it since his sister and Mrs.Tulliver opposed this idea? What increased his eagerness to go to law? P44

It’s just Mrs.Tulliver’s words “Do what you like;but whatever you do, don’t go to law.” Mrs.Tulliver’s words always seemed to make her husband do just the opposite.13)(One evening near the end of holidays, Tom told his father that Lawyer Wakem was going to send his son to Mr.Stelling.)How did Mr.Tulliver feel when he was told that his son would have the same education as Wakem’s?

Secretly rather proud.Chapter 13 The new school-fellow 14)Who was Tom’s new school-fellow?

Philip Wakem.15)(As I told you the author was very good at describing the character’s psychological movement in this novel,)Could you tell us Tom’s psychological movement during the first meeting with Philip? Uncomfortable----better to have this companion than no one----{P45}

{P46} willing to communicate with Philip----Philip must be kept in check(P46-48 to see that P.was good at

Contrast between Tom and Philip:

Tom: strong and lively，but difficult in Latin，good at things out of doors

slowly in his studies, having a lot of common sense，not interested in music enjoying the drill-lesson，or not understand it.Philip: deformed

but proud，timid

advanced in his studies, interested in music and drawing, willing to help others.Chapter 15 Maggie’s second visit

2)(Maggie paid the 2nd visit to Tom.To show his bravery and give Maggie a big surprise, Tom played sword-ex.s before her, but unluckily, he hurt his own foot.)Chapter 16 The end of a quarrel 3)(From the 1st paragraph, we know there was a terrible fear in Tom’s mind after

he hurt his foot.)What’s Tom’s terrible fear in his mind after he hurt his foot?

If his foot would be deformed.4)Is it Maggie who guesses that this fear was in Tom’s mind? No.Mr.Stelling and the doctor? No.5)Who guessed it and asked the question which Tom had not dared to ask by himself? Philip Wakem.6)Did he ask the question in kind-heart or in ill will? Did he hope that Tom would be deformed?

He asked the question in kind heart.He wanted to see Tom’s mind at rest, or he wanted Tom to be easy.Don’t trouble himself so much.He hoped Tom would recover soon.Chapter 17 Philip and Maggie 7)How is it about feelings of Philip and Maggie to each other?

Philip thought Maggie was a nice girl and he wished he had a sister with dark eyes just like hers.Maggie thought Philip seemed a nice boy, clever and could play music and sing.She loved him and also wished he had been her brother.8)(Mr.Tulliver came a few days later to fetch Maggie.When Maggie and Tom told him something about Philip, he gave his own opinion about how Tom should get along with Philip.)What’s it?(What’s Mr.Tulliver’s idea or opinion about how Tom should get along with Philip?)

If he is good to you, pay back to him and be good to him.But don’t be too friendly with him;he’s got his father’s blood in him too.Never trust bad blood.Chapter 18 The end of childhood 9)(From this chapter, we know Mr.Tulliver had lost in the affair against Pivart in the law-court.Maggie brought the bad news to Tom and wanted him to go home.As you know Tom had never been anxious about the future;he had a strong sense of the respectability of his family.)How did he feel when he heard of this bad news? Surprised, unexpected, turned pale and trembled, grieved so much.10)Do you think the title of Chapter 18 “The end of childhood” is fit to its contents? Why?

Yes, because of the great disaster of the family, Tom and Maggie were involved in the business of grown-up life.They were very sad and worried about their family.That shows their innocent and lively childhood ended.Chapter 19 What had happened 11)(From this chapter, we know Mr.Tulliver had lost his affair against Pivart.But he didn’t want Wakem and Pivart tought he was crushed, so he tried to bear the shock well.P64 paragraph 3 As he passed the post office, he longed to have Maggie near him—he did not know why.)Do you know why? {Do you know why Mr.Tulliver longed to have Maggie near him as he passed the post office? }

When you are in agony, the person you most want to see will be the dearest one of yours.Maggie was his favorite girl, so he longed to have her near him to give him comfort when he felt miserable.12)(You know, of course Mr.Tulliver saw that the cost of the affair would take more money than he possessed.)Why did he tell his wife that there was nothing to grieve about, and that he would have no difficulty in meeting the cost? And what does this sentence show?

It shows that Mr.Tulliver had a strong character.He didn’t want Wakem and Pivart thought he was crushed.Even he didn’t want his wife thought he was an incompetent husband.(However at last Mr.Gore’s letter(or note)made him ill.It said: Furley had lately been in great need of money;he had been raising money on all his property and had sold his rights in the Tulliver’s property to—Wakem.That means all of his property, land and mill would belong to Wakem—his great enemy.So he couldn’t bear such a big strike and was seriously ill.)Chapter 20 Mrs.Tulliver’s treasures

13)(When Tom and Maggie reached home, their father was still lying with his eyes closed.A servant was there, but not their mother.)Where is their mother? What was she doing there?

In the store-room, she was sitting among all her carefully stored treasures.Grieved so much at ideas that all these treasures would be sold up—and go into strange people’s houses.And she grumbled out why Mr.Tulliver married her and brought her to this trouble.14)How is it about Maggie when she had listened to her mother’s speech?

She became more and more angry, so she could not help crying.She criticized her mother boldly for caring only for things, not their father when her dear father was lying there upstairs in a sort of living death.She would not let anyone find fault with her father.She hoped Tom to do so.15)What does Maggie’s action show?

It shows that Maggie was full of feelings.She had deep love for her father.She thought her father was the first, the property of the family was the second.(After a time Tom and Maggie went into their father’s room.The two children forgot everything else in the sense that they had one father and one sorrow.)V.Homework 1.The Mill on the Floss 21—25

Daily Report II.Time Reading(Supplementary Material)III.The Mill on the Floss 21—25 1.True or False(T)1)All the relations came to the family council except Mr.Deane and Mr.Moss.(F)2)Mrs.Tulliver wished the hotel or strange people would buy the silver teapot and the table-cloth with her name on them.(She wished her relatives would buy them.Because she thought if they were put in front of strangers with her name on them, it would be a disgrace to the family.)(F)3)Mrs.Pullet was sorry for her sister and her children, so she decided to give some money to Tom and Maggie.(P74 the last paragraph but 3)(T)4)Tom didn’t think it would be right for his aunt Moss to pay the money because it would be against his father’s wishes.(T)5)Wakem told Mrs.Tulliver he would be willing to keep her husband as manager of the business.(F)6)Tom went to his uncle Deane’s bank to ask advice about getting some employment, but Mr.Deane didn’t give any advice to Tom about it.(He said Tom must set about learning accounts.)(F)7)The amends which Mr.Tulliver promised to make to Bessy is to share her housework.(P86…is to stop in the old place and serve under Wakem.)

(T)8)Mr.Tulliver told Tom to write his promise to make his wife’s amends and his determination to have his revenge on Wakem.(F)9)Maggie was now on the edge of womanhood, her mind is full of new hopes, new dreams and new joys.(Usually, at the age of Maggie, the mind of a girl is full of new hopes, new dreams and new joys, but the season of great change about her family was to her the hardest time of all her life.)(T)10)Tom fully shared his father’s feelings about paying off the debts.2.Explanation and Discussion Chapter 21 The family council 1)(The family had a council to discuss the situation.Mrs.Tulliver wished her relatives would buy the silver teapot and the table-cloths with her name on them.Because she hated that her teapot would be sold to the hotel, put in front of travelers with her name on it and her table-cloth would go into strange people’s houses and perhaps be cut with knives.It would be a disgrace to the family.But Mrs.Glegg said to Mrs.Tulliver “The disgrace is to have married a man who has brought you to ruin.”)What was the reaction of Maggie and Tom when they heard of these words?

Maggie was very angry.She jumped up from her seat and ready to stop

her aunt from speaking against her father.But Tom remained more calm than Maggie.He said to Mrs.Glegg: “if you think…(P72-73)”

These words show Tom’s great courage and good sense though he was only sixteen.And they made Mrs.Glegg feel very much embarrassed.2)Did Mrs.Glegg and Mrs.Pullet promiseto leave any money to Tom and Maggie?

No, instead of doing that, Mrs.Glegg even insulted them(P74 paragraph 6 in the middle).So Maggie was filled with wild anger and told them to keep away.3)What do you think of Mrs.Tulliver’s relatives from The family council? Hypocritical and miserly.4)(Then came Mrs.Moss)What’s Mrs.Moss’s attitude to Tom and Maggie?

Kind, sorry for them.Though she was very poor she decided to be sold up to pay the money(￡ 300).5)What’s Tom’s opinion about the money?

He didn’t think it would be right for his aunt Moss to pay the money.It would be against his father’s wishes.Because his father told him before he was in debt that he decided to give Sister Moss that money.Chapter 22 Tom seeks employment 6)(The days passed, Mr.Tulliver was slowly getting better.But his fate and fortune were changing rapidly.Both the mill and the land were sold to Wakem.So Tom had to go to work to support the family.Tom decided to ask Mr.Deane for advice about getting some employment.)Why did Tom decided to ask for Mr.Deane’s advice?

Because Mr.Deane had a great business and he had risen in the world rapidly—and that was Tom wanted to do.7)How did Mr.Deane explain his success in business?

He made himself fit for his work or business.(P80 paragraph 4 Just as he said “If you want to slip into…)

8)How do you understand this sentence “ If you want to slip into a round hole, you must make a ball of yourself”?

Christmas is a Christian festival celebrated in memory of the birth of Jesus Christ.The name derives from the Old English Chrites Mœsse, or Christ’s Mass, and the present spelling probably came into use about the 16th century.Nearly all Christian churches observe the birth of Christ on December 25.This date was not set in the West until about the middle of the 4th century and in the East until about a century later.Almost from the first, most Christians have regarded Christmas as both a holy day and a holiday.For Christ’s birth brought a new spirit of joy into the world.Christmas customs vary in different lands, such as in Germany, Europe, Asia and America, etc.The custom of Christmas tree was firstly begun by Martin Luther in Germany.The beloved image of Santa Claus as a fat, jolly, bearded old man derives from St.Nicholas, a fourth century Christian bishop of Asia Minor, who was noted for his good works.5.P117 Glossary 6.Topics for Discussion and Reflection(Activity): 1)Some holidays and festivals celebrated in the Western countries or China are listed in the glossary.Do you know on which day is each of them celebrated?
