意识流小说the stream-of-consciousness novel“意识流”是西方现代文学艺术中,特别是小说和电影中广为应用的写作技巧。
是现代派小说的一个重要类型。
Stream-of-consciousness narration The narrator conveys a subject’s thoughts, impressions, and perceptions exactly as they occur, often in disjointed (不连贯的) way and without the logic and grammar of typical speech and writing.Stream-of-consciousness narration usually is written in the first person, as in Marcel Proust’s Remembrance of Things Past , but it can also, by means of free indirect discourse, be written i n the third person, as in Virginia Woolf’s Mrs. Dalloway.During the modern period of English literature, the first three decades of this century were golden years of the modernist novel. In stimulating the technical innovations of novel creation, the theory of the Freudian and Jungian psycho-analysis levels of consciousness existed simultaneously in the human mind, that one's present was the sum of his past, present and future, and that the whole truth about human beings existed in the unique, isolated, and private world of each individual, writers like Dorothy Richardson, James Joyce and Virginia Woolf concentrated all their efforts on digging into the human consciousness. They had created unprecedented STREAM-OF-CONSCIOUSNESS novels such asPilgrimage(1915-1938)by Richardson, Ulysses(1922)by Joyce, and Mrs.Dalloway(1925) by Woolf. Among them, James Joyce is the most outstanding stream-of-consciousness novelist; in Ulysses, his encyclopedia-like masterpiece, Joyce presents a fantastic picture of the disjointed, illogical, illusory, and mentalmotional life of Leopold Bloom, who becomes the symbol of everyman in the post-World-War-I Europe.Within the realistic period of American literature, one writer named Henry James is generally regarded as the forerunner of the 20th-century "stream-of-consciousness" novels and the founder of psychological realism. James's realism is characterized by his psychological approach to his subject matte. His fictional world is concerned more with the inner life of human beings than with overt human actions. His best and most mature works will rende the drama of individual consciousness and convey the moment-to-moment sense of human experience as bewilderment and discovery. And we as readers observe people and events filtering through the individual consciousness and participate in this experience. This emphasis on psychology and on the human consciousness proves to be a big breakthrough in novel writing and has great influence on the coming generations.发展20世纪20年代起,意识流技巧在小说领域取得了十分引人注目的成就,但是并未形成一个文学流派。

高考英语阅读理解核心概念的界定全文共6篇示例,供读者参考篇1Reading Is Fun: Mastering the Core Concepts for Gaokao English ComprehensionHey there, young scholars! Reading can be an exciting adventure, taking us to new worlds and introducing us to fascinating characters and ideas. However, when it comes to the Gaokao English reading comprehension section, it's essential to grasp some key concepts to truly understand what you're reading. Don't worry; we'll break it down in a way that's easy to understand and even a bit fun!Main Idea: The Big PictureEvery great story or article has a main idea – the central message or the most important point the author wants to convey. Imagine you're a detective trying to solve a mystery. The main idea is like the case you're trying to crack. It's the overarching theme or the essence of what the passage is all about.When you're reading, pay close attention to the introduction and conclusion, as they often provide clues about the main idea. Look for repetition of certain words or phrases, as they might hint at the central concept. Additionally, try to identify the author's purpose – whether it's to inform, persuade, or entertain – as this can help you pinpoint the main idea.Supporting Details: The CluesJust like a detective needs evidence to solve a case, you need supporting details to fully grasp the main idea. These are the specific examples, facts, or explanations the author uses to reinforce and clarify the central message.Think of supporting details as pieces of a puzzle. Each piece contributes to the bigger picture, helping you understand the main idea more thoroughly. Pay attention to key details like statistics, anecdotes, or examples provided by the author, as they can shed light on the main idea and help you comprehend it better.Context Clues: Unlocking MeaningsSometimes, you might come across unfamiliar words or phrases in a passage. That's where context clues come into play!Context clues are hints within the text that can help you decipher the meaning of unknown words.Imagine you're an explorer navigating through uncharted territory. Context clues are like the trail markers that guide you in the right direction. They might be synonyms, antonyms, explanations, or examples that provide clues about the meaning of a word.For instance, if you see the sentence "The diligent student worked tirelessly on her assignment," the context clues "diligent" and "worked tirelessly" can help you understand that the unfamiliar word "diligent" means hardworking or persistent.Inference: Reading Between the LinesHave you ever played a game of charades, where you had to guess what someone was acting out without using words? Reading comprehension sometimes requires a similar skill –inference, or the ability to draw conclusions based on clues in the text.When you make an inference, you're going beyond the literal meaning of the words and using your reasoning skills to uncover deeper meanings or implications. It's like being a detective, piecing together different clues to solve the case.For example, if a passage describes a character feeling nervous, sweating, and pacing back and forth, you can infer that the character is likely feeling anxious or apprehensive, even if the word "anxious" is never explicitly stated.Author's Purpose and Tone: The Underlying MessageEvery author has a specific reason for writing a piece, whether it's to inform, persuade, entertain, or something else entirely. This is known as the author's purpose. Additionally, the author's tone – the attitude or feeling conveyed through the writing – can provide valuable insights into their perspective and intent.Think of the author's purpose and tone as the secret ingredients in a recipe. Just like a chef carefully selects flavors to create a delicious dish, an author chooses words and writing styles to convey a specific message or emotion.For instance, if an author uses forceful language and presents one-sided arguments, you might infer that their purpose is to persuade the reader to adopt a particular viewpoint. On the other hand, if the writing is light-hearted and humorous, the author's purpose might be to entertain.Organizational Structure: The RoadmapJust like a well-planned road trip needs a map, a well-written passage follows a specific organizational structure to guide the reader through the information. Common structures include chronological order (events presented in the order they occurred), cause and effect (explaining why something happened and its consequences), compare and contrast (examining similarities and differences), and problem-solution (identifying an issue and proposing solutions).Recognizing the organizational structure can help you better understand the flow of ideas and how the different parts of the passage connect. It's like having a roadmap that shows you where you're going and how to get there efficiently.Practice Makes Perfect!Reading comprehension is a skill that improves with practice, just like any other skill. The more you read and apply these core concepts, the better you'll become at understanding and analyzing texts.So, keep practicing, young scholars! Read a variety of materials, from books and articles to short stories and poems. Pay attention to the main ideas, supporting details, context clues, inferences, author's purpose and tone, and organizational structures. Before you know it, you'll be reading comprehensionmasters, ready to tackle the Gaokao English section with confidence and ease!Happy reading, and may your adventures in the world of words be filled with wonder and knowledge!篇2Understanding Reading: The Key to Unlocking KnowledgeHey there, little bookworms! Today, we're going to dive into the exciting world of reading comprehension, specifically for the English section of the Gaokao. Now, I know what you might be thinking – "Ugh, not another boring lesson!" But trust me, this is going to be fun!You see, reading comprehension is like a secret code that opens the door to a vast treasure trove of knowledge. It's the key to unlocking all the amazing stories, fascinating facts, and mind-boggling ideas hidden within the pages of books. And when it comes to the Gaokao, mastering this skill is crucial for acing that English exam.So, what exactly is reading comprehension? Well, it's the ability to read a text and truly understand its meaning. It's not just about recognizing the words on the page, but aboutgrasping the deeper ideas, spotting the hidden clues, and making connections that the author wants you to see.Now, let's break it down into some core concepts that you'll need to master:Vocabulary PowerImagine you're on a treasure hunt, but you don't know the language of the clues. That's exactly what it's like when you encounter unfamiliar words in a text. Building a strong vocabulary is like stocking up on a trusty set of translation tools that will help you decipher those tricky words and unlock the true meaning of the passage.Main Idea ManiaEvery good story has a central theme or main idea that ties everything together. It's like the golden thread that runs through the entire text. As a reading comprehension master, your job is to spot that main idea and hold onto it tightly. It's the key to understanding the bigger picture.Detail DetectivesWhile the main idea is the backbone of the story, the details are the juicy bits that bring it to life. They're like the colorful gemstones that adorn a magnificent crown. As you read, keepyour eyes peeled for those crucial details that support the main idea and give you a deeper understanding of the text.Inference InvestigatorsSometimes, authors don't spell everything out for you. They leave little clues and hints scattered throughout the text, and it's up to you to put them together like a puzzle. This process is called making inferences, and it's an essential skill for unlocking the hidden meanings and implications that lie beneath the surface.Question QuestFinally, as you read, always keep an eye out for those pesky questions that the author might throw your way. They're like little challenges designed to test your comprehension skills. Don't worry, though – with your newfound powers of vocabulary, main idea mastery, detail detection, and inference investigation, you'll be able to tackle them like a pro!Now, I know that was a lot of information to take in, but don't worry – we're going to practice these concepts together until they become second nature. Remember, reading comprehension is a skill that takes time and effort to develop, but the rewards are endless.Just imagine all the incredible stories, fascinating facts, and mind-bending ideas that await you once you master this skill. You'll be able to explore new worlds, learn about different cultures, and even unlock the secrets of the universe – all through the power of reading comprehension.So, what do you say, little bookworms? Are you ready to embark on this exciting journey? Let's dive into those books and start unlocking the treasures hidden within their pages!篇3Title: Cracking the Code: Mastering English Reading ComprehensionHey there, young readers! Are you ready to embark on an exciting journey through the world of English reading comprehension? Buckle up because we're about to explore some super-important concepts that will help you become reading superstars!First things first, let's talk about the foundation of reading comprehension – vocabulary. Have you ever come across a word in a book that made you scratch your head, wondering, "What does that mean?" Well, you're not alone! Vocabulary refers to allthe words in a language, and the more words you know, the easier it will be to understand what you're reading.Now, let's move on to one of the coolest concepts – making inferences. This is like being a super sleuth, using clues from the text to figure out things that aren't directly stated. For example, if a story says, "The sky turned dark, and drops of water started falling," you can infer that it started raining, even though the word "rain" wasn't used.Next up, we have main idea and supporting details. Think of the main idea as the big, juicy burger, and the supporting details as the tasty toppings that make it even more delicious. The main idea is the most important point the author is trying to make, and the supporting details are the examples, facts, and explanations that back it up.Another essential concept is context clues. These are like little breadcrumbs that help you figure out the meaning of unfamiliar words. For instance, if the sentence says, "The puppy was frolicking in the park," you can use the context clue "in the park" to understand that "frolicking" probably means playing or running around happily.Let's not forget about fact and opinion. Facts are statements that can be proven true, like "The sun is a star." Opinions, on theother hand, are personal beliefs or feelings that can't be proven right or wrong, such as "Chocolate ice cream is the best flavor ever."Now, let's talk about sequence and order of events. This is like following a map or instructions to get from one point to another. In a story or article, the sequence and order of events help you understand what happened first, second, third, and so on. Paying attention to signal words like "first," "next," and "finally" can really help you keep track of the order.Lastly, we have the author's purpose and point of view. The author's purpose is the reason they wrote the text – was it to inform, persuade, entertain, or something else? The point of view is the perspective from which the story or article is told, like through the eyes of the main character or as an outside observer.Phew, that was a lot to cover, but don't worry – practice makes perfect! The more you read and apply these concepts, the more they'll become second nature. Remember, reading comprehension is like solving a puzzle – the more pieces (concepts) you have, the clearer the picture becomes.So, grab a book, put on your thinking caps, and get ready to crack the code of English reading comprehension. Happy reading, young bookworms!篇4A Student's Guide to Reading Comprehension on the GaokaoHi there, friends! It's me, your pal who's about to take you through the exciting world of reading comprehension for the Gaokao. Now, I know what you're thinking – "Reading? Comprehension? Boooring!" But trust me, this is going to be a blast!You see, the Gaokao is like this huge, epic test that all us high school students have to take to get into a good university. And one of the most important parts of the test is the English reading comprehension section. That's where they give you these long passages to read, and then they ask you all sorts of questions to see if you really understood what you just read.Now, I know reading can sometimes feel like a chore, especially when the passages are really long and full of big, fancy words. But here's the thing – reading comprehension is kind of like a superpower! If you can master it, you'll be able to understand all sorts of written materials, from books and magazines to websites and even instruction manuals (you know,those things your parents are always trying to get you to read before you put together that new toy).So, what are the core concepts you need to know to become a reading comprehension superhero? Well, let me break it down for you:Vocabulary: This is like the building blocks of reading comprehension. The more words you know, the easier it'll be to understand what you're reading. So, make sure you're always learning new words and practicing using them in sentences.Main Idea: Every passage has a main idea, or a central point that the author is trying to make. Your job is to figure out what that main idea is – it's like the superhero's mission statement.Supporting Details: These are the little bits of information that back up the main idea. They're like the superhero's trusty sidekicks, helping the main idea along and making it stronger.Inferences: Sometimes, the author doesn't just come right out and say everything. Instead, they leave little clues for you to pick up on, and you have to use your mighty brain power to put those clues together and draw your own conclusions. This is called making inferences, and it's like a superhero's secret power.Author's Purpose: Why did the author write this passage? Were they trying to persuade you of something, or just give you information, or maybe even entertain you? Figuring out the author's purpose is like uncovering the supervillain's evil plot!Tone and Mood: This is all about the feeling or attitude that the passage gives off. Is it serious and formal, or more lighthearted and casual? Picking up on the tone and mood is like sensing the superhero's emotions – it can tell you a lot about what's really going on.Now, I know that's a lot to remember, but don't worry –we're going to practice, practice, practice until it's all second nature. And before you know it, you'll be reading those Gaokao passages like a pro, zipping through the questions and saving the day with your amazing reading comprehension skills!So, what do you say?

Today, we're going to dive into the world of reading comprehension and unlock the secrets to acing this part of the test.First things first, let's talk about what reading comprehension actually means. It's not just about reading the words on a page – it's about understanding the deeper meaning behind those words. It's like solving a puzzle, where you need to put all the pieces together to get the full picture.Now, let's take a look at some of the core concepts you need to master for English reading comprehension:Vocabulary: Words are the building blocks of language, and having a strong vocabulary is like having a super-powered toolbox. The more words you know, the easier it will be to understand what you're reading. So, make sure you're constantly learning new words and their meanings!Context Clues: Sometimes, you'll come across words you don't know, but don't panic! That's where context clues come in handy. By looking at the words and sentences around the unfamiliar word, you can often figure out what it means. It's likebeing a detective and gathering clues to solve the case of the mysterious word.Main Idea: Every reading passage has a main idea, and it's your job to figure out what it is. The main idea is like the central theme or the big picture of the passage. It's the most important thing the author wants you to understand. Think of it as the captain of the ship, steering the rest of the passage in the right direction.Supporting Details: While the main idea is the captain, supporting details are the crew members that help the captain accomplish the mission. These are the small pieces of information that back up and explain the main idea. They're like the puzzle pieces that fit together to create the full picture.Inference: Sometimes, authors don't spell everything out for you. They leave little clues and hints, and it's up to you to use your detective skills to make inferences – to read between the lines and figure out what they're really trying to say. It's like putting on your detective hat and solving a mystery!Author's Purpose: Every author has a reason for writing what they've written. It could be to inform, persuade, entertain, or something else entirely. Figuring out the author's purpose is likecracking a secret code – once you've got it, everything else starts to make sense.Tone and Mood: Just like people, passages can have different tones and moods. Some might be serious and formal, while others could be playful and lighthearted. Identifying the tone and mood is like tuning into the emotional vibes of the passage, and it can help you better understand the author's message.Now, I know all of these concepts might seem a bit overwhelming at first, but don't worry – with practice and determination, you'll become a master of English reading comprehension in no time!Remember, the key is to approach each passage like a detective, gathering clues and putting the pieces together until you've solved the mystery.

Reading comprehension can be a tough nut to crack, but don't worry – I'm here to help you understand the key concepts that will make it a breeze!First up, let's talk about the main idea. The main idea is like the captain of the ship – it's the most important thing the author wants you to understand. It's the big, central thought that the whole passage revolves around. Sometimes the author will state the main idea right away, but other times you'll have to figure it out by looking at the details and examples they give.Next, we've got supporting details. These are like the crew members that help the captain sail the ship. They give you more information and examples to back up the main idea. You'll need to identify these details and how they relate to the main idea to really understand the passage.Now, let's talk about vocabulary. These are the words you'll encounter in the passage, and some of them might be new or tricky. But don't worry – you can often figure out the meaning of a word from the context, which is the way it's used in thesentence or paragraph. Context clues are like little hints that help you solve the word puzzle.Another important concept is inference. This is when you use the information in the passage, along with your own knowledge and experience, to figure something out that isn't directly stated. It's like being a detective and putting together clues to solve a mystery!Speaking of mysteries, let's talk about fact and opinion. A fact is something that can be proven true, like "The sky is blue." An opinion is someone's personal belief or judgment, like "Blue is the prettiest color." You'll need to be able to tell which is which in the passage.Next up, we have author's purpose. This is the reason why the author wrote the passage. Were they trying to persuade you to believe something? Inform you about a topic? Entertain you with a story? Figuring out the author's purpose can help you understand the passage better.Finally, let's talk about tone and mood. The tone is the author's attitude towards the subject, like serious, humorous, or angry. The mood is the feeling or atmosphere the passage creates for the reader, like suspenseful, relaxed, or sad. Payingattention to tone and mood can help you understand the deeper meaning behind the words.Phew, that's a lot of concepts! But don't worry, with practice and these key ideas in mind, you'll become a reading comprehension pro in no time. Just remember to read carefully, think critically, and have fun with it! Happy reading, kids!。
Lesson 19 English Social Differences 英国社会的差异A gentleman is, rather than does. He is interested in nothing in a professional way. He is allowed to cultivate hobbies, even eccentricities, but must not practise a vocation. He must know how to ride and shoot and cast a fly. He should have relatives in the army and navy and at least one connection in the diplomatic service. But there are weaknesses in the English gentleman's ability to rule us today. He usually knows nothing of political economy and less about how foreign countries are governed. He does not respect learning and prefers 'sport '.The problem set for society is not the virtues of the type so much as its adequacy for its function, and here grave difficulties arise. He refuses to consider sufficiently the wants of the customer, who must buy, not the thing he desires but the thing the English gentleman wants to sell. He attends inadequately to technological development. Disbelieving in the necessity of large-scale production in the modern world, he is passionately devoted to excessive secrecy, both in finance and method of production. He has an incurable and widespread nepotism in appointment, discounting ability and relying upon a mystic entity called 'character,' which means, in a gentleman's mouth, the qualities he traditionally possesses himself. His lack of imagination and the narrowness of his social loyal ties have ranged against him one of the fundamental estates of the realm. He is incapable of that imaginative realism which admits that this is a new world to which he must adjust himself and his institutions, that every privilege he formely took as of right he can now attain only by offering proof that it is directly relevant to social welfare.professional n. 职业的 cultivate vt. 培养hobby n. 业余爱好 eccentricity n. 怪癖cast a fly 垂钓 diplomatic service 外交部门govern vt. 治理 adequacy n. 适当grave a. 严重的 sufficiently ad. 充分地inadequately ad. 不充分地 disbelieve vt. 不相信devoted a. 热⼼的 excessive a. 过分的incurable a. 不可救药的 neotism n. 裙带关系discount vt. 看轻 mystic a. 神秘的entity n. 存在,本质 narrowness n. 狭隘quality n. 品质 estate n. 社会阶层realm n. 王国 realism n. 现实主义 adjust vt. 使适应privilege n. 特权 relevant a. 有关的 difference n. 差异1.professional n. 职业的通常略写为prof [反]amateur[辨异]profession, occupation, jobprofession “专业”,强调highly skilled/highly educated, such as lawyer, doctor, IT engineer, architectoccupation: normal and general, everybody can have an occupation.job不仅指⼯作,还可以表⽰⼲活,例如家务活。

我的姐姐用英语写作文六年级下册全文共3篇示例,供读者参考篇1My Sister's Experience with English Writing in 6th GradeMy older sister Lily has always been really good at writing, especially writing in English. She's in 6th grade now, and I've watched her English writing skills grow so much over the past year. Her English teacher, Mrs. Thompson, has really helped her take her writing to the next level.At the start of the school year, Lily wasn't sure if she wanted to keep pursuing creative writing or focus more on academic and essay writing. Mrs. Thompson had them do a bunch of different writing exercises and prompts to explore both styles. One of the first assignments was to write a short fictional story using specific descriptive words that Mrs. Thompson provided. Lily wrote this really cool dystopian story about a society where color was outlawed. Her descriptions of the gray, bleak world using the vocabulary words were so vivid.But then they also had to write persuasive essays on topics like "Should cellphones be allowed in school?" Lily is reallyopinionated, so she was great at structuring arguments and backing them up with evidence. I remember her showing me her essay arguing against cellphones where she talked about issues like cyberbullying and students being distracted and not paying attention in class.As the year went on, Lily started getting more and more into the essay writing. She just had a knack for taking a topic, researching it thoroughly using books and online sources, and then organizing all of her thoughts into a clear, logical essay structure. The evidence and examples she could pull from her research made her arguments so strong.One of the big assignments second semester was a research paper on a famous historical figure that they admired. Lily chose Harriet Tubman, as she's always been inspired by Tubman's bravery and heroism in risking her life over and over to lead enslaved people to freedom. Lily spent weeks reading multiple biographies, watching documentaries, and finding first-hand accounts from people who knew Tubman. Her final paper was so impressively researched and detailed.But Lily didn't completely abandon her creative writing skills either. For her research paper, she didn't just write a dry report regurgitating facts. No, Lily wove in really vivid anecdotes andscenes almost like a novel to make the reader feel the tension and danger of Tubman's missions. Like she described Tubman's dangerous journey guiding a group through the wilderness, having to hide breathlessly as search parties looking for runaways tramped nearby.That's just Lily's writing style – no matter what she's writing, she has a gift for using language to paint these imagery-rich scenes that make you feel like you're there. I got to read a short story she wrote for her creative writing unit about a young wizard in training. The level of imagination and world-building she put into the magical school setting with tantalizing hints about this greater wizarding society was so immersive.Mrs. Thompson also had Lily experiment combining creative and analytical writing for assignments like reading a novel, then writing an analysis breaking down its themes, character motivations, and author's choices. Or comparing and contrasting two different texts. I was blown away by Lily's insightful analysis connecting the novel The Giver to Plato's Allegory of the Cave and how both works explore breaking free from an oppressive reality.Her English writing really took off this year because Mrs. Thompson had such a great mix of creative and analyticalassignments that pushed Lily to develop diverse writing muscles. But it also helped that Lily is just a gifted writer in general who's always voraciously reading anything she can get her hands on –novels, nonfiction, even the diaries of historical figures when researching. She constantly expands her vocabulary and knowledge just from observing the writing styles and techniques of other great authors.I don't know yet if Lily wants to be a professional writer when she grows up. She's mentioned possibly being a journalist, novelist, or even an English teacher so she can inspire other kids to write as powerfully as Mrs. Thompson inspired her. Lily loves finding her voice and expressing herself through writing.Honestly, I'm a little jealous because writing can be such a struggle for me sometimes compared to Lily. She has a persistence and commitment to writing that's really admirable. She'll work for hours on a draft, leave it aside for a few days to get some distance, then come back to it with fresh eyes to tear it apart and rewrite sections to make the flow and language as tight as possible. I usually get impatient and just want to be done with an essay once I've hit the length requirement.What I've observed from Lily is that great writers aren't just born, they're made through tons of dedication and practice. Eventhough writing comes more naturally to Lily than me, she still works incredibly hard at it. She pushes herself to continue growing by trying out new techniques and stepping outside her comfort zone. Like this persuasive letter she wrote to our mayor proposing improvements to our town park that she's hoping to get published in the local newspaper. Public writing like that is still intimidating for Lily, but she wants to challenge herself.Lily's growth in her 6th grade English writing class has been so inspiring to watch. No matter what career path she chooses, I know her skills with writing and communicating her ideas in such an articulate, impactful way will make her extremely successful. I have a new level of respect for the amount of work and craft that goes into powerful writing. Lily's given me motivation to work harder on my own writing skills too. Who knows, maybe I'll be coming to her for writing advice before long!篇2My Sister Writing in EnglishEver since my sister Meili was little, she has always loved the English language. I can still remember back when we were kids, she would beg my parents to read her English storybooks at bedtime instead of Chinese ones. While I would just want to gostraight to sleep after the boring old folktales, Meili was absolutely fascinated by the strange words and sounds of English.My parents didn't really understand her interest in English at first. They had learned it in school themselves, but it was never more than just another subject. In their minds, Chinese was our mother tongue and the language we would use at home and in daily life. English was something you had to study, not something for fun or personal enrichment.But Meili was persistent in her English mania. Every time we went to the bookstore, she would make a beeline for the foreign language section and pore over the English books and magazines, even though she could barely read any of the words at that age. She would flip through them over and over, running her little fingers along the strange Roman letters as if trying to soak them into her skin through osmosis.When she started primary school, Meili took to English like a duck to water. While the rest of us found the alphabet and basic vocabulary baffling, Meili seemed to pick it all up instantly. She was always the first to raise her hand in English class and rattle off flawless pronunciations that made our teacher beam with pride. I remember feeling a mixture of awe and envy watchingher effortlessly master this language that seemed so impossibly difficult to me.As Meili grew older, her English abilities only became more impressive. By the time we reached upper primary school, she was devouring English novels and watching English movies and TV shows with smooth comprehension. She would often slip English words and phrases into her everyday conversations at home, much to the confusion of my parents who couldn't keep up with her linguistic adventures.I have to admit, there were times when I resented Meili's English skills a bit. It made me feel inadequate that this bizarre foreign language came so naturally to my big sister while I struggled just to put together basic sentences. Why was English so easy for her and so hard for me? Sometimes it felt like she was showing off with all her effortless English banter.But any resentment I felt was overwhelmed by a deeper sense of admiration and pride for Meili's talents. I watched in awe as she wrote poetic English essays, crafted with masterful vocabulary and vivid metaphors. Her teachers were constantly singing her praises and marveling at her English fluency that rivaled and often surpassed their own. It was clear that my big sister had a special gift.Now that we're in 6th grade, Meili's English writing has truly blossomed into something extraordinary. Just last week, she won our school's annual English essay contest with a breathtaking piece reflecting on the wonders of childhood imagination. Her writing transported the readers into a rich tapestry of whimsical scenes and profound contemplations, all woven together with impeccable grammar and an artistic command of the English language that belied her young age.As I watched Meili accept her award on stage, beaming with pride and clutching her winning essay, I felt a surging sense of affection and respect for my talented big sister. She had pursued her passion for English with relentless dedication, devouring every opportunity to immerse herself in this language that most of our classmates still found intimidating. And through sheer hard work and natural brilliance, she had transformed that passion into something truly special - the gift of skilled English expression.I know that Meili's English abilities will continue to set her apart and open up a world of possibilities as she grows older. With her talent for languages and love of diverse cultures nurtured from a young age, she will have opportunities that most of us could only dream of. She could become an interpreter,a writer, a teacher, or forge a path that carries her across the globe on the wings of fluent English. Whatever path she chooses, I have no doubt that my big sister will soar.And while I may never possess the same effortless fluency in English that Meili does, I know that I can still benefit from her talents. She has inspired me to work harder on improving my own English skills, even if they will never reach her lofty heights. More importantly, by watching Meili's journey, I've learned to embrace the things that make each of us unique - our individual passions, talents and perspectives that shape who we are.So yes, my big sister Meili writes in English, and she writes beautifully. But more than that, she writes her own story with passion, intelligence and an ingenuity that will carry her far in this increasingly interconnected world of ours. I will always look up to her with love, admiration and perhaps just a tinge of envy at her enviable English eloquence. After all, talent like that in a big sister gives you a built-in endless source of tutoring...if you're lucky enough to have one like mine.篇3My Big Sister and Her English WritingMy big sister Emily is really good at writing compositions in English class. She's in 6th grade now, and she's been putting a lot of effort into improving her English writing skills. I'm only in 4th grade, but I look up to her and think she's really talented.Emily has always loved reading and writing ever since she was little. Our parents got her started on simple picture books when she was around 3 or 4 years old. As she got older, she graduated to longer chapter books. By the time she was in 2nd grade, she was devouring novel after novel. Her favorite authors were Roald Dahl, J.K Rowling, and Rick Riordan.In 3rd grade, Emily's teachers started really pushing the students to work on their writing through journaling, creative stories, and book reports. Emily took to it like a fish to water. She'd spend hours working on her writing assignments, asking our parents for help on making her vocabulary more sophisticated and her sentences more descriptive.When she got to 4th grade, Emily's writing skills were already pretty advanced compared to the rest of her class. Her teachers praised her intricate storytelling abilities and her great command of grammar. They encouraged her to enter some local writing contests. Emily won a few of those competitions, which really boosted her confidence.Last year in 5th grade was when Emily's writing abilities in English really started to blossom. The curriculum put a bigger emphasis on longer form compositions and essays. There were assignments on persuasive writing, expository writing explaining concepts, and first-person narratives. Emily worked really hard on planning her essays, doing research, and revising multiple drafts until her writing was polished.My sister started keeping an English writing journal where she'd freely write stories, descriptions, and reflections just for fun. She'd let me read her entries sometimes. I was always amazed by her creativity and how vividly she could paint pictures with words. My parents were her biggest supporters, constantly encouraging her passion for the English language.Now in 6th grade, writing has become Emily's biggest strength academically. For their latest assignment, her English teacher asked the class to write a multi-paragraph personal narrative essay about a meaningful life experience. Emily chose to write about the time our family went on a trip to London and Paris a few summers ago.I remember watching Emily's writing process for that essay step-by-step. First, she made an outline planning the different sections she wanted to include - an introduction hook, storiesabout fun activities from the trip, a climax of her favorite memory, and a reflective conclusion. Then she spent a weekend just going through her travel journal and photos to jog her memory about specific details to include.After the brainstorming phase, Emily started writing a rough draft. She made sure to incorporate lots of descriptive details to paint vivid imagery for the reader. She used examples of sensory details like sights, sounds, smells, tastes, and textures from the trip. Her vocabulary was so impressive with advanced adjectives and verbs.When Emily had finished her first draft, she asked our parents and her English teacher for feedback. They provided lots of constructive criticism on areas that needed improvement. Emily took their suggestions to heart as she worked on revising her essay. She improved her transition sentences, enhanced her use of dialogue, removed unnecessary wordiness, and tweaked the pacing. I could see her determination through all the late nights revising.Finally, after multiple polished drafts, Emily's narrative essay turned out beautifully. It was 5 pages long and included an incredibly engaging story arc about our family's adventures abroad. Her teacher was thoroughly impressed and praisedEmily's effort. The essay was so good that Emily decided to enter it into a city-wide writing contest for middle schoolers.Just a couple weeks ago, we got the exciting news that Emily's travel narrative won first place in the competition! She was awarded a fancy plaque, a gift card prize, and the chance to have her essay published in a student writing magazine. Our whole family is so proud of Emily's hard-earned success and her dedication to improving as a writer.My big sister is such an inspiration to me with her passion for English writing. I'm in awe of her determination, creativity, and willingness to constantly revise her work until it's her best. Watching Emily's writing talents blossom over the years has motivated me to work harder on my own writing and language skills.I hope to follow in my big sister's footsteps as I progress through school. With Emily as my role model for a talented young writer, I'm sure I'll be able to improve my writing abilities as well. I have no doubt that her English writing achievements will only continue growing from here. Maybe someday Emily will even become a published author! No matter what, I'll always admire and be inspired by my incredible big sister.。

Answer the questions below each text by choosing A, B, C or D.(分数:10.00)__________________________________________________________________________________________ 解析:King Juan Carlos of Spain once insisted "kings don"t abdicate, they die in their sleep." But embarrassing scandals and the popularity of the republican left in the recent Euro-elections have forced him to eat his words and stand down. So, does the Spanish crisis suggest that monarchy is seeing its last days? Does that mean the writing is on the wall for all European royals, with their magnificent uniforms and majestic lifestyles? The Spanish case provides arguments both for and against monarchy. When public opinion is particularly polarised, as it was following the end of the Franco regime, monarchs can rise above "mere" politics and "embody" a spirit of national unity. It is this apparent transcendence of politics that explains monarchs, continuing popularity as heads of state. And so, the Middle East excepted, Europe is the most monarch-infested region in the world, with 10 kingdoms (not counting Vatican City and Andorra). But unlike their absolutist counterparts in the Gulf and Asia, most royal families have survived because they allow voters to avoid the difficult search for a non-controversial but respected public figure. Even so, kings and queens undoubtedly have a downside. Symbolic of national unity as they claim to be, their very history—and sometimes the way they behave today—embodies outdated and indefensible privileges and inequalities. At a time when Thomes Piketty and other economists are warning of rising inequality and the increasing power of inherited wealth, it is bizarre that wealthy aristocratic families should still be the symbolic heart of modern democratic states. The most successful monarchies strive to abandon or hide their old aristocratic ways. Prince and princesses have day-jobs and ride bicycles, not horses (or helicopters). Even so, these are wealthy families who party with the international 1%, and media intrusiveness makes it increasingly difficult to maintain the right image. While Europe" s monarchies will no doubt be smart enough to survive for some time to come, it is the British royals who have most to fear from the Spanish example. It is only the Queen who has preserved the monarchy" s reputation with her rather ordinary (if well-heeled) granny style. The danger will come with Charles, who has both an expensive taste of lifestyle and a pretty hierarchical view of the world. He has failed to understand that monarchies have largely survived because they provide a service—as non-controversial and non-political heads of state. Charles ought to know that as English history shows, it is kings, not republicans, who are the monarchy" s worst enemies.(分数:10.00)(1).According to the first two paragraphs, King Juan Carl of Spain(分数:2.00)ed to enjoy high public support.B.was unpopular among European royals.C.ended his reign in embarrassment. √D.eased his relationship with his rivals.解析:解析:细节题。
