文体导读
事理阐释类说明文是一种以说明为主,阐明事理的概念、特点、演变、异同等的说明性文章。它着重于对客观事物进行介绍、解释或分析,目的是帮助人们了解新的知识。此类文章通常以总分或总分总的结构进行阐述。它在写作手法上采用举例子、做比较、分类别、析因果、列数字、做诠释、打比方、下定义、列图表、引用、假设、对比或类比等说明方法。此类语篇涉及科技、社会和文化生活等多个领域。高考主要考查学生准确把握文章主旨以及理解长难句的能力。
策略导航
(1)巧用彩色笔细品文章。借助彩色笔对文本中的不同部分做标注。例如,用紫色笔标注开头句,用绿色笔标注段落的主题句,用红色笔标注说明阐述的方法,用黄色笔标注逻辑关系词,用蓝色笔标注长难句,等等。写作时,根据标注的情况,进行仿写。
(2)利用“PRSR原则”构建文本框架,搭建读写支架。“PRSR原则”是事理阐释类说明文采用的一种写作视角,P为Phenomenon(现象),R为Reason(原因),S为Solution(措施),R为Result(结果),但有的文章并未完全涵盖PRSR四种要素。在阅读事理阐释类说明文时,利用“PRSR原则”有助于我们梳理文章的篇章结构和逻辑关系。在进行事理阐释类说明文写作时,我们可以利用“PRSR原则”对文章进行布局,同时还要使用正确的时态和人称。

案例导练
Keep a healthy weight
The key to keeping a healthy weight is regular exercise and good eating habits. Some people think exercise and good eating habits require lots of effort or planning. But thats nottrue. In fact, the best way to work them into our lives is to make small changes.
Teens should get 60 minutes or more of physical activity a day. Note the word“activity”. As long as you’re getting your body moving, it doesn’t mean doing complicatedexercises or hitting the gym every day. All that matters is that each week you get the rightbalance of activities, including aerobics (有氧运动), strength building, and flexibilityexercise. Make exercise a habit by arranging some time every day.
On days when you have soccer practice or an aerobics class, you may have no troubleexercising for an hour or more. But most of us are busy, and 60 minutes a day of exerciseseems like a lot of time. The good news is that it’s OK to divide it into shorter“exercisebreaks”throughout the day.
Just as you might have a healthy snack to stop yourself from getting hungry, exercisesnacks can keep energy levels high. So get up 15 minutes earlier and do some yoga or otherstretching activities. Fast walk or jog for 15 minutes at lunch. Do the same thing after school—or walk or bike home. Add to that climbing the stairs, taking gym class, and walkingbetween classes during the day, and you’ve probably reached your 60 minutes.
Eating well doesn’t mean dieting over and over again. In fact, studies have shown thatdieting often doesn’t work. The best way to keep a healthy weight is to make healthy foodchoices daily. For some of us, that means changing our mindset about food.
Use your creativity to come up with ways to fit exercise and healthy eating habits intoyour life in a way that works for you. We’re all different. Your best friend might prefer toschedule some gym time while you’d rather take your dog to the park. Knowing what’s rightfor you will make it a lot easier to do!
