我让学生运用“资源导向式思维”模式，从文本资源中按照“举行”“纪念”的语义搜索相关的语义链。
任务1：阅读文段，搜索与“举行”有关的词句，定位与其语义相关的词语，并加以对比分析。
【成果展示】学生通过寻读，寻找到10个与“举行”有关的词句。
①Discuss when they（five Chinese festivals） take place，what they celebrate and what people do at that time.
②Festivals and celebrations of all kinds are held everywhere.
③Sometimes celebrations would be held after hunters had caught animals.
④Some festivals are held to honour the dead，or satisfy and please the ancestors.
⑤In Mexico，people celebrate the Day of the Dead in early November.
⑥Festival can also be held to honour famous people.
⑦China and Japan have Mid-autumn Festivals，when people admire the moon and in China，enjoy mooncakes.
⑧There are dragon dances and carnivals and families celebrate the Lunar New Year together.
⑨Some Western countries have very exciting carnivals，which take place forty days before Easter，usually in February.
⑩In Japan，the Cherry Blossom Festival happens a little later.
【导学】提取词汇语义链，分析和对比“举行”在具体句子中的语义、结构和表达方式。在句子中，除hold有“举行”的含义外，其余的take place、celebrate、have、there be、happen等词语与“举行”含义似乎毫不相干。而在语境中，它们的确贴切地表达了“举行”的含义。因此，在语言学习中，经常关注英语语句的表达方式和用词特点，就能积累表达思想和观念时所需要的丰富词句。
任务2：阅读文段，搜索与“纪念”有关的词句，定位与其语义相关的词语，并加以对比分析。
【成果展示】学生通过寻读，围绕“纪念”在语篇中寻找与其相关的语句，训练“资源导向式思维”。
①Some festivals are held to honour the dead，or satisfy and please the ancestors.
②For Japanese festival Obon，people should go to clean the graves and light incense in memory of their ancestors.
③Festival can also be held to honour famous people.The Dragon Boat Festival in China honours the famous ancient poet，Qu Yuan.In the USA，Columbus is in memory of the arrival of Christopher Columbus in the New World.India has a national festival on October 2 to honour Mohandas Gandhi，the leader who helped gain India's independence from Britain.
④It（Easter）celebrates the return of Jesus from the dead and the coming of spring and new life.
【导学】honour、in memory of、celebrate都有“纪念”的含义，在语境中它们以非谓语动词、介词短语和谓语等形式构成语句。因此，在阅读中需要关注词语的结构特点和表达方式，体会词语在上下文中所表达的概念及其思想内涵。
