Ⅳ.Analyzethefollowingdifficultsentencesinthetext
1.Thisissimilartothe“jetlag”yougetfromflying,butitseemsyoukeepgettingflashbacksfromyourprevioustimeperiod.
[句式分析] but连接两个并列句,(that)yougetfromflying是省略了关系代词that的定语从句,修饰jetlag。
youkeepgetting...period是表语从句。
[尝试翻译]
2.However,IlostsightofWangPingwhenwereachedwhatlookedlikealargemarketbecauseoftoomanycarriagesflyingbyinalldirections.
[句式分析] 这是一个主从复合句。
IlostsightofWangPing为主句;when引导的是一个时间状语从句,在该从句中包含一个由what引导的宾语从句,what在从句中作主语;flyingbyinalldirections为现在分词短语作后置定语,修饰carriages。
[尝试翻译]

2.可是,当我们到达一个看上去像是大市场的地方时,由于很多来自四面八方的气垫车从身边飞过,我看不见王平了。
想象性作文
本单元的写作项目属于新课标中说明文或记叙文中的“想象性”作文。
这类题目要求学生在头脑中创造出从未接触过的甚至根本不存在的新的形象。
想象性写作允许自由想象、自主发挥的空间较大,因此需要灵活的思维能力和丰富的想象能力。
要写好此类文章,应注意以下几点:
1.首先要确定写作主题。
确定主题,明确写作中心,是写好文章的前提,想象性写作也不例外。
因为想象虽然可以海阔天空,但总要围绕一个中心进行,这个中心就是主题。
2.想象美好,立意深刻。
想象性作文必须要有一个“美好”的中心思想。
如果只是瞎编一个热闹离奇的故事,就失去了想象的意义。
3.构思要巧妙,想象要合理。
构思和想象是写好此类文章的关键,既要合乎逻辑,又要匠心独运,或启迪思维,或引人入胜。
4.列出写作提纲,合理安排顺序。
通过合理想象列出写作素材,然后筛选确定;而后再根据写作对象的特点合理安排顺序。
5.前后一致,自圆其说。
不管允许想象的空间有多大,都要做到符合逻辑,顺理成章,这一点对于写好此类文章尤其重要。
