(老师讲解后补充知识点---倍数用法)
文中事例:
"If one object had twice the weight of another, it would fall twice as fast."
一:倍数增减的表示法
A: 大于等于三倍
1.用times 表示倍数
2.词尾-fold表示倍数的用法
3.可以用triple/quadruple/quintuple六倍/septuple 七倍/octuple 八倍/ nonuple 九倍 替代“基数词+times"表示倍数
e.g. 你的房间是我房间的三倍大。
1)your room is three times/threefold as large as mine;
2) your room is three times/threefold the size of mine;
3) your room is triple mine./ your room is the triple of mine./ your room has triple the size of mine.
B: 两倍的用法
twice / double / twofold / as...again as
e.g.这件皮夹克的价格是我最近买的那件的两倍。
1)This leather jacket costs me as much again as the last one I bought.
2)This leather jacket costs me twice / double / twofold as the last one I bought.
注:double表示倍数时,可以做 adj. adv. n. v. det.
e.g. 1) I am double your age./ Your age doubles as mine.
2)I was paid the double of this amount.
3)I had to bend double to get under the table.
二:by & to 表示倍数的用法
1. by : 表示增加多少或者减少多少;
decrease by 30%
2.to: 表示增加到/ 至..... 或减少到/至;
decrease to 30%
注:increase / multiply 3 times: 增加了两倍/ 增加至三倍 (3*3=9)
Day2: 第二天的逻辑图
(思维导图自评)
1.遗漏细节;
2.示范中有明显的时间轴,一目了然;
3.示范中老师将文章中progression of ideas之后的部分概括为一个大框架下,更有条理;
4.自己做的思维导图有些许乱;可以采用直线式。
Day3:第三天的总结作业
【Summary】作者在这篇科学简史呈现出科学不断发展的几个方面:
1.研究方法的进步:①thought+argument☞prediction+experiment+observation;
②从盲人摸象式打开新世界到前车之鉴式提出新见解;
③科技的发展为自然研究打开了新道路;
2.研究领域的拓展:从日心说等自然科学(天文、物理、化学、生物、地理等)领域拓展到进化论等社会科学(人类学、考古学、伦理学)领悟;
3.研究地域的扩展:科学思想起源于古希腊,而后借助文字和the House of Wisdow(a magnificent library in Baghdad)的传承,成为其他地区探索和发展科学的重要途径。
D1-D3的总结:
1.第一天读文章是就要有意识的画出关键词和每一段第一句话;
2.第二天的思维导图尽量采取直线式,及时和老师的示范做比较,不懂及时问;
3.下次任务可以谈谈自己的心得感悟,不要局限在概要阶段。
