高三教案 第746期(2) 发布时间:2021-04-12 点这里下载本页内容 (23.0 KB) 2020-2021学年度第746期总第40期 •Free climbing is when a rock climber ascends (登上) a cliff using only his hands, and feet to make upward progress and to support his or her body in the vertical world. Free climbing is done both with and without a rope, although most climbers use a rope for personal safety and to avoid the fatal (致命的) effects of gravity. •As free climbing is a physically challenging extreme sport, do you think women are equally capable of being successful? Why or why not? Two women achieved their feats in the field dominated by men. Let's take a look. Read and think 1. Who are the two female climbers mentioned in the article? What feats do they achieve? •US climber Emily Harrington reached the top of El Capitan in Yosemite National Park within a day, becoming the first woman to free-climb the Golden Gate route. 2. Did they meet with any difficulties psychologically or physically? How did they overcome them? •Emily Harrington said “I spent a lot of years feeling like I didn’t belong, like maybe I hadn’t earned my place to be a Yosemite climber,” which means she had some self-doubt. 3. What do the phrases “level the playing field” and “free of traces” mean? How did you work them out? •Given the explanation, “Women’s superior strength-to-weight ratio helps offset anything we may lack in power or reach, bridging the gap between the sexes,” we can conclude the phrase means ensuring that people are competing fairly, with no one having special advantages. •Given the explanation, “That means Eiter had to search for the holds and predict how the moves were going to play out by herself,” we know that there was no existing paths for Eiter. •Tips: When you come across an unfamiliar word or expression, take it easy. The following text will give you some clues. Practice makes perfect 1. Animosity, a feeling of dislike, developed among the musicians, causing the group to disband. Key: 1. 敌意; 憎恶 2. 外缘;周长 3. 小心翼翼地 4. (待人接物)精明的 4. What is the significance of the rising number of female climbing enthusiasts? •This battle with oneself embodies the spirit behind the sport. “Maybe that’s why more women feel more empowered to find their own way, break free of the mold, and climb what we want to climb. Women have decided to follow their hearts.” Critical thinking Share your opinions on female empowerment. Expressions |
