【答案解析】原文: Chinese Civilization China is a long-standing civilization. Each historical period has its own detailed written records, / passing on its culture to the modern day. / Therefore, Chinese young people have a strong sense of cultura identification. / To them, the idea of patriotism is of great importance, / as it has run consistently throughout all of Chinese history.由标题可知,文章围绕“中华文明”这一主题展开。考生在听第一遍的时候不要急于动笔,要把握文章整体结构,理清思路。听完第一遍可知,本文首先概述中华文明代代相传,直至今天。之后,文章出现表示顺承的词语Therefore,说明有史可查的中华文明带给中国年轻人很强的文化认同感。最后,由文化认同感再引申出爱国情怀,说明对于中国的年轻人来说,爱国思想至关重要,因为它贯穿了整个中国历史。听第二遍录音的时候要按意群来听,抓住句型和关键词,写出基本完整的句子。听第三遍的时候将句子补充完整,可根据语法规则将某些无法听清的弱读词,如its、of等,添加到句子中合适的位置。听最后一遍录音时要边听边校对,尤其要注意个别较长的单词的拼写、形容词的后缀和不定冠词a,消灭丢分点。短文的第二句中形容词比较多,如historical、detailed等,在听写时很容易将-al、-ed这些后缀漏掉,需要依靠扎实的语法基本功将其补全。此外,本句中的形容词性物主代词its是弱读词语,注意不要漏写,也不要将其误写成it’s。短文的第三句虽然不长,但第二、三遍录音没有对这一句话进行拆分,这就需要考生掌握一些实用的速记技巧,根据记忆迅速记录下文字。本句的易错点有两个:第一,Chinese首字母大写要明显,与小写C区分开;第二,identification一词较长,注意拼写正确。最后一句中的patriotism和consistently稍有难度,要注意拼写正确。
