情节推导策略

故事类型的文本可以通过对环境、人物表情、动作、外貌等的描述，形象地帮助学生理解词义。

例13：shocked

In the Phantom's house，Christine pulled off his mask and saw the real man.At first，she was shocked at his horrible face with yellow eyes and no nose，but then she felt sorry about his suffering.

教师可以引导学生阅读理解故事的情节，让学生设身处地想，当Christine拉下鬼魂的面具，看到他的真实的面容时，词汇“horrible face，yellow eyes，no nose”暗示出她会产生的即时反应，而后对他的遭遇产生遗憾和同情的心理。这些生动的细节描述既能帮助学生体会Christine的情感发展，又能理解“shocked”的词义。
