Fifth grade book "Small Island" review points: the thoughts and feelings expressed in the text, the emotions of the characters
An essay in unit 4 of the fifth grade book, the test point of this lesson is the understanding of the thoughts and feelings expressed in the text. This test point is also reflected in the introduction to the text, especially the meaning of the military salute in the last natural paragraph.
What is this article about? It is the story of the warriors stationed in the Spratly Islands, and if you dig deeper into this text, you will understand why the island is so short of water. It will also be understood that the vegetables there are hard-won, precious, and necessary. Nansha is far from the mainland of the motherland, the nearest supply point also needs 1400 kilometers, 1 ton of water transport used to be equivalent to the price of 2.5 tons of oil (at that time, this is what was told to the students, the specific data you can continue to check), so the fresh water on the island is very precious. In order to grow edible vegetables, the warriors used their own fresh water to water vegetables, brushed their teeth and washed their faces without soap, and did everything they could to water vegetables. Bathing became a luxury on the island, and warriors liked to bathe with rainwater... There is a lot of more detailed information, which will not be described in detail here.
Back to the text, what we need to appreciate is the general's idea. For example, why did the general insist on staying on the island? Why don't you accept that plate of cabbage? What are the inner thoughts of the warriors on the island? What does the general think in his heart? In order to let the warriors share the cabbage with themselves, they scooped the soup themselves, why didn't they say anything at that time? And what does that last military salute mean?
These questions are all designed in the guide to review. There is no need to answer in detail here. We imagine that a gray-haired general comes to the island, and the soldiers are worried that the chief is not in good health, and insist on giving the general fresh vegetables, but the general thinks that he will not become a burden to the soldiers, and the soldiers will treat the general as an elder, how does the general feel at this moment? I want to interpret the article here basically do not need to say anything more, just look at the meaning of the military salute - the general is full of a deep respect.
