“話題整合”是一種復(fù)習(xí)新思路。它主張以語(yǔ)篇為載體,在理解與表達(dá)的語(yǔ)言實(shí)踐活動(dòng)中,通過(guò)文本解讀,將語(yǔ)言知識(shí)學(xué)習(xí)、語(yǔ)言技能發(fā)展、文化內(nèi)涵理解、多元思維發(fā)展、價(jià)值取向判斷、學(xué)習(xí)策略運(yùn)用等有機(jī)整合在一起。在高三總復(fù)習(xí)階段,因時(shí)間緊、任務(wù)重,教師在復(fù)習(xí)中不可能顧及初中教材及不同版本的教材,這樣就不利于學(xué)生構(gòu)建話題知識(shí)網(wǎng)絡(luò),難以促進(jìn)學(xué)生知識(shí)和技能的穩(wěn)步提高(駱永聰2017)。而話題整合有利于使緊張的高三英語(yǔ)復(fù)習(xí)教學(xué)更高效。話題整合旨在培養(yǎng)學(xué)生的整體性和綜合性邏輯思維,通過(guò)整合后的比較學(xué)習(xí)和自主閱讀,激發(fā)學(xué)生回顧話題內(nèi)容,歸納共同要素,構(gòu)建新的概念,最終實(shí)現(xiàn)思維品質(zhì)的提升。本文以話題The Chinese pioneer artists 為例,選取北師大版高中《英語(yǔ)》必修2 Unit 5 Lesson 3 Kong goes for folk!(見(jiàn)附錄1)和2018 年普通高等學(xué)校招生全國(guó)統(tǒng)一考試(全國(guó)III 卷)閱讀理解C 篇(見(jiàn)附錄2),對(duì)話題整合讀寫(xiě)教學(xué)模式進(jìn)行實(shí)踐探究。另外,本課例是2018 年泉州市高三英語(yǔ)教學(xué)工作會(huì)暨北師大版高中英語(yǔ)學(xué)科研訓(xùn)會(huì)上開(kāi)設(shè)的高三復(fù)習(xí)教學(xué)示范課,指導(dǎo)老師為福建省泉州市教育科學(xué)研究所蔡曉莎。本課例受到了與會(huì)教師和專家的一致好評(píng)。
從文本內(nèi)容上看,北師大版高中《英語(yǔ)》必修2 Unit 5 Lesson 3 Kong goes for folk!講述了著名古典鋼琴音樂(lè)家孔祥東將古典音樂(lè)和中國(guó)民族音樂(lè)相結(jié)合,用鋼琴演奏中國(guó)民樂(lè)并讓世界為之矚目,成為當(dāng)今音樂(lè)界先鋒人物的故事。2018 年普通高等學(xué)校招生全國(guó)統(tǒng)一考試(新課標(biāo)全國(guó)III 卷)閱讀理解C 篇介紹了中國(guó)建筑師王澍將傳統(tǒng)的中國(guó)元素融入現(xiàn)代建筑,成為第一個(gè)獲得有建筑界諾貝爾獎(jiǎng)之稱的普利茲克建筑獎(jiǎng)的中國(guó)人。兩篇文本都講述了中國(guó)藝術(shù)界的先驅(qū)人物從中國(guó)傳統(tǒng)中汲取創(chuàng)作靈感并獲得世界認(rèn)可的故事。
從主旨上看,無(wú)論是音樂(lè)家孔祥東,還是建筑師王澍,他們都有一種濃厚深切的家國(guó)情懷,他們從博大精深的中國(guó)傳統(tǒng)文化中尋根溯源,并與現(xiàn)代元素進(jìn)行有機(jī)融合、創(chuàng)新,最終獲得世界對(duì)中國(guó)藝術(shù)家的身份認(rèn)同。這兩篇文本啟發(fā)讀者要增強(qiáng)國(guó)家認(rèn)同感和家國(guó)情懷,提高中華民族的文化自信,成為一個(gè)有文化修養(yǎng)和社會(huì)責(zé)任感的人。
從結(jié)構(gòu)與語(yǔ)言上看,兩篇文本都屬于記敘類文體,均介紹了人物的背景信息,人物對(duì)中國(guó)傳統(tǒng)文化的借鑒、實(shí)踐及人物所取得的成就。兩篇文本分別以孔祥東和王澍回歸中國(guó)傳統(tǒng)文化,取得世界認(rèn)可的發(fā)展為明線,以兩位藝術(shù)家對(duì)中國(guó)傳統(tǒng)文化深厚的民族自豪感和自信心為暗線。兩篇文本結(jié)構(gòu)清晰、富有趣味性和可信性。如Kong goes for folk!(以下稱“孔祥東文本”)以時(shí)間發(fā)展順序展開(kāi)敘述孔祥東的成長(zhǎng)經(jīng)歷及成就,C 篇閱讀理解(以下稱“王澍文本”)則通過(guò)對(duì)比手法,將國(guó)人對(duì)傳統(tǒng)的誤解與對(duì)傳統(tǒng)的正確解讀進(jìn)行對(duì)比,將當(dāng)今人們創(chuàng)作藝術(shù)的誤區(qū)和傳統(tǒng)與當(dāng)代藝術(shù)有機(jī)融合的實(shí)踐進(jìn)行對(duì)比,凸顯恰當(dāng)有效地發(fā)揮中國(guó)傳統(tǒng)文化魅力的重要性。兩篇文本在行文中穿插了主人公的原話,更直觀、傳神且有力地說(shuō)明了孔祥東和王澍兩位藝術(shù)家的創(chuàng)作理念和家國(guó)情懷,進(jìn)而使文章更生動(dòng),也更具有可信性。
授課對(duì)象是高三年級(jí)理科班的學(xué)生,他們對(duì)北師大版高中英語(yǔ)教材的體例比較熟悉,也做過(guò)一定量的高考練習(xí)題。課前,他們已讀過(guò)這兩篇文本,并劃分好小組(5 人一組,共7 組;第7 組共7 人,組成“學(xué)霸團(tuán)”作為寫(xiě)作評(píng)審指導(dǎo)組,負(fù)責(zé)到各組指導(dǎo)寫(xiě)作并點(diǎn)評(píng)),每組選好了小組長(zhǎng)。
本班學(xué)生從未接觸過(guò)文本整合閱讀,可能會(huì)存在以下兩個(gè)問(wèn)題:一是習(xí)慣性地將文本割裂為孤立的單詞、短語(yǔ)和重點(diǎn)句型,對(duì)文本的學(xué)習(xí)局限于簡(jiǎn)單的信息提取或信息復(fù)現(xiàn),文體意識(shí)較為薄弱,缺乏把握文本結(jié)構(gòu)脈絡(luò)的能力,以及對(duì)文本內(nèi)涵的深層次挖掘能力;二是在平時(shí)的學(xué)習(xí)過(guò)程中缺乏閱讀為寫(xiě)作服務(wù)的理念,沒(méi)有意識(shí)到同一話題的文本能夠開(kāi)展整合閱讀及讀寫(xiě)能夠有機(jī)整合。另外,這是師生之間首次配合上課,如何調(diào)動(dòng)學(xué)生的學(xué)習(xí)積極性,協(xié)調(diào)師生、生生之間的互動(dòng),使課堂教學(xué)效果最優(yōu)化,是師生共同面臨的挑戰(zhàn)。
本班學(xué)生的英語(yǔ)口語(yǔ)表達(dá)能力、英語(yǔ)基礎(chǔ)知識(shí)水平和合作探究能力在同年級(jí)學(xué)生中表現(xiàn)突出,這得益于良好的學(xué)習(xí)習(xí)慣和學(xué)習(xí)方法,為本堂話題整合讀寫(xiě)課的開(kāi)展奠定了堅(jiān)實(shí)的基礎(chǔ)。
學(xué)生在學(xué)習(xí)完本課后,應(yīng)該能夠:
基于文本甄別孔祥東和王澍兩位藝術(shù)家與普通藝術(shù)家的不同,表述他們?nèi)绾螌?shí)現(xiàn)創(chuàng)新和突破,并分析作者達(dá)成這一寫(xiě)作目的所采用的寫(xiě)作手法;
基于文本探究孔祥東和王澍兩位藝術(shù)家取得成功的原因,評(píng)價(jià)他們的成就,并暢談自己閱讀后的感悟,由此培養(yǎng)正確的國(guó)際視野和家國(guó)情懷;
分析文本結(jié)構(gòu)、提取語(yǔ)言素材,實(shí)現(xiàn)寫(xiě)作輸出——概要寫(xiě)作。

Kong goes for folk!
The famous classical pianist,Kong Xiangdong,surprised his fans last week by giving a concert combining classical music with Chinese folk music. Kong explained that he tried this because he wanted to create something new. “As a musician,playing the same music in different cities of the world is very boring,”says Kong.He also feels that playing Chinese folk music on the piano can help bring it to the rest of the world.
Music has always been part of Kong’s world.As his mother was a great music lover,he lived with music from birth. But it wasn’t always easy for the young Kong Xiangdong. His mother couldn’t buy him a piano until he was seven. She had to draw piano keys on a piece of paper so that he could learn to play as early as possible. The 5-year-old Kong would practise on the paper piano as his mother clapped the rhythm. He was made to practise the piano so much that,at times,he thought about giving up.However,he didn’t quit,and he became a great pianist. In 1986,at the age of 18,he became the youngest prize winner in Moscow’s Tchaikovsky International Competition.He went on to win awards in competitions across the world.
Because of Kong’s talent and hard work,he became famous worldwide.But after years of performing,he felt that in some ways he had lost his identity. This is why he went back to his roots and rediscovered the beauty in Chinese folk music.He began experimenting with different styles and his Dream Tour Concert is the result.
Kong’s new experiment in Chinese folk music is so important to him that he even changed his appearance. When he arrived at his concert last week,he had shaved off all his hair! Since his music style is new,he decided his hairstyle had to be new too!
Whether Kong is changing his appearance or transforming his music,he is a pioneer in music today. The concert last week was such a success that Kong’s Dream Tour Concert is expected to run for the next two years in Beijing,Shanghai,and other main cities before going to Paris and New York.

2018 年普通高等學(xué)校招生全國(guó)統(tǒng)一考試英語(yǔ)(全國(guó)III 卷)閱讀理解C 篇
While famous foreign architects are invited to lead the designs of landmark buildings in China such as the new CCTV tower and the National Center for the Performing Arts,many excellent Chinese architects are making great efforts to take the center stage.
Their efforts have been proven fruitful.Wang Shu,a 49-year-old Chinese architect,won the 2012 Pritzker Architecture Prize—which is often referred to as the Nobel Prize in architecture—on February 28. He is the first Chinese citizen to win this award.
Wang serves as head of the Architecture Department at the China Academy of Art(CAA). His office is located at the Xiangshan campus(校園)of the university in Hangzhou,Zhejiang Province.Many buildings on the campus are his original creations.
The style of the campus is quite different from that of most Chinese universities. Many visitors were amazed by the complex architectural space and abundant building types. The curve(曲線)of the buildings perfectly match the rise and fall of hills,forming a unique view.
Wang collected more than 7 million abandoned bricks of different ages. He asked the workers to use traditional techniques to make the bricks into walls,roofs and corridors. This creation attracted a lot of attention thanks to its mixture of modern and traditional Chinese elements(元素).
Wang’s works show a deep understanding of modern architecture and a good knowledge of traditions.Through such a balance,he had created a new type of Chinese architecture,said Tadao Ando,the winner of the 1995 Pritzker Prize.
Wang believes traditions should not be sealed in glass boxes at museums.“That is only evidence that traditions once existed,”he said.
“Many Chinese people have a misunderstanding of traditions.They think tradition means old things from the past.In fact,tradition also refers to the things that have been developing and that are still being created,”he said.
“Today,many Chinese people are learning Western styles and theories rather than focusing on Chinese traditions.Many people tend to talk about traditions without knowing what they really are,”said Wang.
The study of traditions should be combined with practice.Otherwise,the recreation of traditions would be artificial and empty,he said.
28.Wang’s winning of the prize means that Chinese architects are_________.
A.following the latest world trend B.getting international recognition
C.working harder than ever before D.relying on foreign architects
29.What impressed visitors to the CAA Xiangshan campus most?
A.Its hilly environment. B.Its large size.
C.Its unique style. D.Its diverse functions.
30.What made Wang’s architectural design a success?
A.The mixture of different shapes. B.The balance of East and West.
