內(nèi)容分析

【W(wǎng)hat】本板塊的語篇是一篇雜志文章。文章介紹了音樂家貝多芬的生平故事：貝多芬在孩提時代就展現(xiàn)出過人的音樂天賦；少年時代嶄露頭角，受到當(dāng)時音樂界許多重要人物的肯定；到青年時代他卻遭遇重大打擊，逐漸喪失了作為音樂人最為寶貴的聽力；此后他從絕望到振作，克服重重困難，繼續(xù)他熱愛的音樂事業(yè)，最終創(chuàng)作出了在音樂史上具有深遠影響的曠世巨作《第九交響曲》，而“扼住命運的咽喉”也成了他人生的最好注腳。

【W(wǎng)hy】本板塊旨在通過一篇介紹世界音樂大師貝多芬的文章，引導(dǎo)我們學(xué)習(xí)他與命運抗?fàn)幍挠職?、不屈不撓的精神。學(xué)習(xí)本板塊，要讓大家明白一個人的成功僅有天賦是不夠的，后天的努力和堅強的意志往往會成為更關(guān)鍵的因素。

【How】本板塊的語篇是一篇人物小傳類型的文章，最大的特點是采用了閃回（倒敘）的寫作手法。文章開篇就描寫了貝多芬的高光時刻——失聰許久，闊別舞臺多年后，貝多芬?guī)е约嚎嘈膭?chuàng)作的《第九交響曲》登臺演出，并且獲得巨大成功；接下來，文章回顧了貝多芬不平凡的一生：幼年天賦過人，年少聲名鵲起，躊躇滿志之時卻逐漸失聰，克服重重困難繼續(xù)音樂創(chuàng)作；隨后，文章回過頭來詳細介紹了貝多芬《第九交響曲》的內(nèi)容和特點；文章最后對貝多芬不平凡的一生和巨大的成就做出了點評。整篇文章以《第九交響曲》為主線，穿插介紹了貝多芬的生平，重點刻畫了他面對挫折所展現(xiàn)出來的堅強意志。在結(jié)構(gòu)上，過渡句的使用使得文章段與段之間內(nèi)容的切換順暢自然，整體性強?！?/p>

貝多芬幼年即展露才華，在父親管教下夜以繼日地學(xué)習(xí)音樂。沒過多久，他的鋼琴演奏已受人賞識。十多歲的時候，他已經(jīng)是有名的杰出少年音樂家了。pushsb.todosth.鼓勵；督促；逼迫;說服；勸解；鼓勵；敦勸Manyimportantfiguresinthemusicworld,includingthebrilliantmusicianMozart,startedmakingpredictionsabout
