§課文原文 Passage

1Lisa woke up early on Saturday morning. She looked out the window and saw that the sky was grey. Raindrops hit the glass, one after another. She sighed deeply, because she had planned a picnic with her friends at the park for two weeks. Everything was ready: sandwiches in the fridge, a new picnic mat and her favourite orange juice. Her mother promised to drive her to the park at eleven.

2She took out her umbrella from the cupboard and put her phone in her pocket. Just then, the phone rang. It was her friend Jenny. 'The picnic is cancelled. The weather is too bad, and the rain will not stop until tonight,' Jenny said sadly. Lisa nodded slowly, although her friend could not see her. She looked at the sandwiches and the picnic mat by the door.

3Then Jenny had an idea. 'Why don't we have the picnic at your home instead? We can sit on the mat in your living room and watch the rain outside!' Lisa laughed for the first time that morning. She moved the small table, warmed the sandwiches and waited by the door. Sometimes plans change, but a good day does not have to. The rain outside did not matter any more.

3逐步講解 Steps

  1. 找線索線索寫在文字度:The sky was grey. Raindrops hit the glass, one after another——天氣和動作都是線索。線索分兩種:直接(數字、動作)與間接(天氣、語氣)——兩種都要圈起。
  2. 聯想問作者為什麼這樣寫:She sighed deeply, because she had planned a picnic… for two weeks——嘆氣+鋪墊,你估到她好失望。
  3. 推論用線索推出結論:How does Lisa feel? 文中沒有 'disappointed' 這個字,但線索說了你知。推論不可以過頭:Lisa 很失望 ✔;Lisa 以後一世不再旅行 ✘——證據行到幾遠,結論就去到幾遠。
  4. detail vs inferenceDetail 題掃回出來就得:What was her plan? → a picnic at the park。Inference 題要線索+邏輯先推到。題眼字分辨:according to the passage 問 detail;What can you infer 問推理——先分題型再落筆。
  5. 情緒線索動作透露心情:sighed deeply 嘆氣=失望;laughed for the first time that morning=由愁轉喜。接著人物動作走。對比是情緒路標:was → but now is——but 之後的心情,才是人物現在的心情。
  6. 推論格式答案要帶證據:Lisa feels disappointed because the text says she sighed deeply when she saw the rain.——證據+推理先算完整。推論題最忌無中生有:答案一定要有文句撐住——憑空估的就算合理,都不要寫落答題簿。
  7. 一邊讀一邊推每段停一停問:為什麼作者這樣寫?P1 寫完準備功夫(sandwiches、picnic mat、orange juice),是為了 P2 取消那刻更傷——鋪墊就是線索。推論答案跟格式:feels+情緒+because+證據——三隻部件一個都不要少。

5例題示範 Example

根據 Lisa 野餐課文推論:Lisa 為什麼嘆氣?結尾為什麼說 The rain outside did not matter any more?

  1. 第一步:找線索——She sighed deeply,而且 planned a picnic for two weeks、everything was ready.
  2. 第二步:線索 + 常識 → 推論:她期待了很久,所以下雨令她好失望。
  3. 第三步:答推論題必帶證據——because the text says she had planned it for two weeks.
  4. 第四步:結尾推論——Jenny 提議在客廳照樣野餐,Lisa laughed for the first time that morning.
  5. 第五步:檢查推論有沒有文字證據,不要過度推測文中沒有的東西。
  6. 答案:Lisa sighed because she had planned her picnic for two weeks and everything was ready — the sandwiches, the mat and the juice — but the heavy rain cancelled it. At the end, the rain did not matter any more because Jenny suggested having the picnic at home: they could sit on the mat in the living room and watch the rain outside, and Lisa laughed for the first time that morning. 每個推論都有文中證據支持,這樣先算合格的 inference。
