Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage. You must face the fact that in your inmost heart you hate the thought of moving. It is easiest not to leave the rooms where your children passed through their wonderful childhood and annoying teens to a friendly but slightly distant maturity.
Until, suddenly one day, the distance is absolute and they are grown up and gone. Then you find yourself living in too large a house, which consumes in its maintenance too much energy and money. When we found ourselves in this situation a few years ago, we determined to move while we still had the strength and before the emotional ties that the old house had wrapped around us became too powerful to be broken. Move while you can! But be sure you really want to, and do not move too often. It is an exhausting process.
Your first task is to find a house that will suit you. It must be smaller, quieter, easier to run, and more conveniently placed for transport. Not so small, though, that it will not have room for your largest pieces of furniture, and located not too far from the neighborhood where so many friendships have been built up. At last we found one: a late Victorian cottage, in a street where the houses, all small, range from late 18th to mid 20th century. It was near enough to where we wanted to live. It had no basement (底下层), which was a great convenience for aging legs; there were only two floors: one for ourselves and one where friends, children, and grandchildren could spread themselves when they came to stay. Each floor had two rooms. There was a kitchen on the ground floor, with the bathroom above it.

Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage. Equipment operator Dick Kemp is the proud owner of over 90 old
trucks. Some of his vehicles date back as far as 1916, just twenty years after the first motorized truck was ever built and a time when there were only 160,000 trucks in the United
States-compared with the 36,000,000 trucks that roar along the nation's highways nowadays. One of Kemp's most unusual trucks is a 1916 Selden with wooden spikes which was once used as a street sprinkler. Kemp began his collection in 1952 with a 1930 Bulldog Mack which he bought for only $50. This same vehicle was valued in the year 2006 at nearly a thousand times that price. Every year thousands of visitors come from all over the U.S. and Canada to see Kemp's collection, which is exhibited in a large garage and in a yard next-door. The Mack Truck Museum is open for public viewing and there is no charge. There is even a model truck playground for children to play in while their parents look at the real things.
Kemp does his own restoration work, making all the trucks look shiny and run smoothly. Many truck parts he has to make for himself because manufacturers have discontinued production long, long ago. He has received countless offers to sell his trucks, but his answer is always the same: "Nothing for Sale".

Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.
In the early days of sea travel, seamen on long voyages lived exclusively on salted meat and biscuits. Many of them died of scurvy (坏血病), a blood disease which causes swollen gums, livid (铅色的) white spots on the flesh and general exhaustion. On one occasion, in 1535, an English ship arrived in Newfoundland with its crew seriously ill. The men's lives were saved by Iroquois Indians (易洛魁印第安人) who gave them vegetable leaves to eat. Gradually it came to be realized that scurvy was caused by something lacking in the sailors' diet. Captain Cook, on his long voyages of discovery to Australia and New Zealand, established the fact that scurvy could be warded
off by the giving fresh fruit to the sailors.
Nowadays it is understood that a diet which contains nothing harmful may yet result in serious diseases if certain important elements are missing. These elements are called "vitamins". Quite a number of such substances are known and they are given letters to identify them, A, B, C, D, and so on. Different diseases are associated with a lack of particular vitamins. Even a slight lack of Vitamin C, for example, the vitamin most plentiful in fresh fruit and vegetables, is thought to increase our chances of catching colds.
The vitamins necessary for a healthy body are normally supplied by a good mixed diet, including a variety of fruit and green vegetables. It is only when people try to live on a very restricted diet, say, during the extended periods of religious fasting (斋戒), or when trying to lose weight, that it is necessary to supply the missing vitamins.
1.Which of the following happens because of scurvy?
A. People become hungry.
B. People lose blood.
C. People become livid.
D. People feel pain in their gums.
2.How would the sailors ward off scurvy on long trips?
A. They took fresh fruit with them.
B. They stopped in places to relax.
C. They often found Indians to help.
D. They ate vegetable leaves regularly.
3.Which vitamin helps protect us against colds?
A. Vitamin A.
B. Vitamin B.
C. Vitamin C.
D. Vitamin D.
4.What supplies all the vitamins we need to be healthy?
A. Any one of the different sorts of green vegetables.
B. Diets like those taken by religious people.
C. Certain important elements known by letters.
D. Mixed diets with different fruits and vegetables.
5.When should people take vitamins?
A. When wanting to be healthy.
B. When joining a religion.
C. When dieting to lose weight.
D. When protecting against sickness.
Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.
Time passed and my cards sold well. My enthusiasm for the greeting card business grew quickly. All along, I had been drawing fantasy art: monsters, dragons, castles, etc. With the birth of my first son in 1980, the content of my work went through a pretty dramatic change.
Fantasy went out of the window, and I began to illustrate reality. In the spring of 1983, we, The Mary Engelbreit Greeting Card Company, took our 12 little designs to New York to exhibit them at a national card show.
I remember how big the show was. I just couldn't get over it. I had no idea there were so many different card companies. And it was exciting because our 12 little cards were getting a lot of attention in that huge place!
I've been told one of the reasons we had so much success at that show is because my card style was different than anything else at the market. I typically draw complicated details and use deep colors and funny or meaningful quotations.
By 1985, many greeting card publishers started noticing my art, and two of them approached me with licensing contracts.
I have always believed if you choose a job you love, you'll never work a day in your life. If you ask about the mystery of my success, all I can say is this: to imagine is everything!
6.Before the birth of her first son, Mary Engelbreit's cards
focused on ________.
A. reality
B. daily life
C. fantasy
D. dragons

D. they were rich in color
9. A couple of greeting card companies ________.
A. presented Engelbreit with contracts

Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.
Before going to high school, I had a very simple view of life. I usually did not think about the subjects of crime, poverty, or homelessness. As far as I knew, these things did not exist. The area around my school forced my eyes open as early as the first day of school. On the long bus ride through the city, I saw homeless dogs walking the streets. I also clearly recall seeing a homeless person picking through a trash can for the first time ever. The poverty of the area around my school made me see how truly lucky I was. I now began to appreciate everything which had been handed to me in life. In the long run, this led me to put a lot more faith in God because of all that He had given
me. I started going to religious services more often. This also indirectly led to my involvement in the community around the school.
Students' lives become enriched simply by attending an
inner-city school. When a person is exposed to city life, many different advantages can be gained. For someone who had lived in the suburbs all his life, such as myself, a new style of living can be experienced. This alone expands one's views of life in general. The religious aspect of my life grew, I was easily able to get involved in community service projects, and I became much more aware of the dangers which exist in the city. Going to school in the city helped me to overcome the simple views I once had, and I am now better prepared to take on the challenges which await me in life.
1.What sort of school does the author go to?
A. A religious school.

attending her school?

3.Why does the author think she is lucky?
A. She has a better life than many other people.
B. She is a student at a very good school.

Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.
So long as teachers fail to distinguish between teaching and learning, they will continue to undertake things for children that children can only do for themselves. Teaching children to read is not passing reading on to them. It is certainly not endless hours spent in activities about reading. Douglas insists that "reading cannot be taught directly and schools should stop trying to do the impossible."
Teaching and learning are two entirely different processes. They differ in kind and function. The function of teaching is to create the conditions and the climate that will make it possible for children to devise the most efficient system for teaching themselves to read. Teaching is also a public activity: it can be
seen and observed.
Learning to read involves all that each individual does to make sense of the world of printed language. Almost all of it is private, for learning is an occupation of the mind, and that process is not open to public examination.
If teacher and learner roles are distinguishable, how can teaching aid the child in the quest for knowledge? Smith has one principal rule for all teaching instructions. "Make learning to read easy, which means making reading a meaningful, enjoyable and frequent experience for children."
When the roles of teacher and learner are seen for what they are, and when both teacher and learner fulfill them appropriately, then much of the pressure and feeling of failure for both is eliminated. Learning to read is made easier when teachers create an environment where children are given the opportunity to solve the problem of learning to read by reading.
6.The problem with the reading course as mentioned in the
first paragraph is that ________.
A. it is one of the most difficult school courses
B. too much time is spent in teaching about reading
C. students spend endless hours in reading
D. reading tasks are assigned with little guidance
7.The teaching of reading will be successful if ________.
A. teachers can enable students to develop their own way
of reading
B. teachers can improve conditions at school for the
students
C. teachers can devise the most efficient system for reading
D. teachers can make their teaching activities observable
8.The word "examination" at the end of Paragraph 3 most
probably means "________".
A. inquiry
B. observation
C. control
D. suspicion
9.According to the passage, learning to read will no longer be
a difficult task when ________.
A. children become highly motivated
B. teacher and learner roles are identical
C. teaching helps children in the search for knowledge
D. reading enriches children's experience
10.The main idea of the passage is that ________.
A. teachers should do as little as possible in helping
students learn to read
B. teachers should encourage students to read as widely as
possible
C. reading ability is something acquired rather than taught
D. reading is more complicated than generally believed
Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage. Another example of the dangers of a restricted diet may be seen in the disease known as "beri-beri" (脚气病), which used to affect large numbers of Eastern peoples who lived mainly on rice. In the early years of the 20th century, a Dutch scientist named Eijkman was trying to discover the cause of beri-beri. At first he thought it was transmitted (传送) by a germ (细菌). He was working in a Japanese hospital, where the patients were fed on rice which had had the external husk (壳) removed from the grain, called "white rice." It was thought this would be easier for weak, sick people to digest.
Eijkman thought his germ theory was confirmed when he noticed the chickens in the hospital yard, which were fed on scraps (碎片) from the patients' plates, were also showing signs of the disease. He then tried to isolate the germ he thought was causing the disease, but his experiments were interrupted by a hospital official, who ruled that the huskless polished rice was too good for chickens. The chickens should be fed cheap rice with the external covering still on the grain, called "brown rice." Eijkman noticed that the chickens began to recover on the new diet. He began to consider the possibility that eating brown rice somehow prevented or cured beri-beri—even that a lack of some ingredient in the husk might be the cause of the disease. Indeed this was the case. The element needed to prevent beri-beri was shortly afterwards isolated from rice husks and is now known as Vitamin B. The white rice, though more expensive, was keeping alive the disease the hospital was trying to cure.
1.From the context, what do you think the author mentions in
the paragraph that is just before this first paragraph?
A. One example of the importance of vitamins.
B. One example of the benefits of eating healthy foods.
C. One example of the dangers of a restricted diet.
D. One example of the benefits of various vitamins.
2.The disease "beri-beri" ________.
A. kills large numbers of Western peoples
B. is a vitamin deficiency disease
C. is transmitted by diseased rice
D. can be caught from diseased chickens
3.The chickens Eijkman noticed in the hospital yard
________.
A. couldn't digest the huskless rice
B. proved beri-beri is transmitted by germs
C. were later cooked for the patients' food
D. were suffering from vitamin deficiency
4.Huskless, white rice ________.
A. was cheaper than brown rice
B. was less beneficial to the body than brown rice
C. was more beneficial to the body than brown rice
D. cured beri-beri
5.The ingredient missing from white rice ________.
A. was Vitamin B
B. did not affect the chickens
C. was named the Eijkman vitamin
D. has never been accurately identified
Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.
Whether or not vegetarianism should be advocated for adults, it is definitely unsatisfactory for growing children, who need more protein than they can get from vegetable sources. A
lacto-vegetarian (part milk, part vegetable) diet, which includes milk and milk products such as cheese, can, however, be satisfactory as long as enough milk and milk products are consumed.
Meat and cheese are the best sources of usable animal protein and next come milk, fish and eggs.
Slow and careful cooking of meat makes it more digestible and
assists in the breaking down of the protein content by the body. When cooking vegetables, however, the vitamins, and in particular the water-soluble (溶解于水的) Vitamin C, should not be lost through over-cooking.
With fruit, vitamin loss is too small to be important, because the cooking water is normally eaten along with the fruit, and natural chemicals in the fruit help to hold in the vitamin C.
Most nutrition (营养) experts today would recommend a balanced diet containing elements of all foods, largely because of our need for sufficient vitamins. Vitamins were first called "added food factors" when they were discovered in 1906. Most foods contain these other substances necessary for health, in addition to carbohydrates (碳水化合物), fats, minerals and water. The most common deficiency in Western diets today is lack of vitamins. The answer is variety in food. A well-balanced diet, having sufficient amounts of milk, fruit, vegetables, eggs, and meat, fish or chicken (i.e. any good protein source), usually provides the minimum daily requirement of all the vitamins. 6.Vegetarianism is not suitable for growing children because
they ________.
A. need more protein than vegetables can supply
B. cannot digest vegetables
C. use more energy than adults
D. cannot easily digest milk and milk products
7. A lacto-vegetarian can eat _________.
A. cheese, beef, and nuts
B. carrots, milk, and rice
C. potatoes, ham, apples, and beans
D. tomatoes, bacon, and oranges
8.Slow and careful cooking of meat ________.
A. preserves the vitamins
B. breaks down the vitamins
C. makes it easier to digest
D. reduces the protein content
9.The reason why the vitamin loss in fruit is not important is
that ________.
A. vitamins in fruit are not removed by cooking
B. chemicals are often used in the cooking of fruit
C. fruit has too few vitamins to be important to one's diet
D. the cooking water is usually eaten along with the fruit
10.Most nutrition experts today believe the food we eat should
contain ________.
A. more meat than vegetables
B. more vegetables than meat
C. fruit, cereals and fish as well as meat and vegetables
D. as many different kinds of vegetables as possible
Questions 1 to 5 are based on the following passage.
Language is a way to communicate with each other. We started to learn language when we were born. However, people are used to speaking their native language, so immigrants are having many problems between the first generation and the second generation because they don't have the same native language. Also, the second generation is losing their identity. Especially in America, there are many immigrants that came from different countries to succeed in the States. Because they suffer in lots of areas such as getting a job and trying to speak
English, they want their children to speak English, not only at school, but also at home in order to be more successful. Because of this situation, their children are losing their ethnic identity and, even more, they are ignoring their parents whose English is not very good.
I think most immigrants are trying to preserve their native language in their new country, but this doesn't help very much in getting a good job. My aunt didn't teach Korean to her children in order to help them succeed in the US; she did so, hopefully, to help them establish a Korean identity. Though the second generation is born in the new country, they often get confused about their identity. My cousins told me that when they visited Korea a few years ago, they felt different from other Koreans. They could even feel it just strolling around the street because they wore different clothes.
We must realize that language is important and valuable for many reasons. Immigrants should make an effort not to be ignored by their children and to make their children understand their heritage by teaching them the parents' language. This is important in helping the second generation establish their identity.
1.Which people are having trouble with language?
A. Natives.
B. People of the 2nd generation.
C. People when born.
D. Immigrants.
2.Why are children ignoring their parents?
A. Children have lost their identity.
B. Parents cause children to suffer.
C. They speak different languages.
D. They have different job levels.
3.The author's aunt taught Korean ________.
A. so she could preserve her language
B. so she would have a job in America
C. to help children succeed in their new country
D. to help children keep their Korean identity
4.The author's cousins felt ________.
A. they were not similar to people in Korea
B. they could not get a job in America
C. it was all right to look and feel different
D. it was important to keep their identity
5. A proper title for this passage is ________.
A. The Identity of the Second Generation
B. Korean Problems in America
C. Learning a New Language in the US
D. Keeping Your Culture in a New Land
Questions 6 to 10 are based on the following passage.
Two similar-sounding English words caused trouble for a man who wanted to fly from Los Angeles to Oakland, California. His problems began at the airport in Los Angeles. He thought he heard his flight announced, so he walked to the gate, showed his ticket, and got on the plane. After flying for twenty minutes, the man began to worry. Oakland was north of Los Angeles, but the plane seemed to be heading west, and when he looked out his
window all he could see was ocean. "Is this plane going to Oakland?" he asked the flight attendant (服务员). The flight attendant was shocked. "No," she said. "We're going to Auckland-Auckland, New Zealand."
English is not the only language with similar-sounding words. Other languages, too, have words that can cause mistakes, especially for foreigners.
Auckland and Oakland. When similar-sounding words cause a mistake, probably the best thing to do is just laugh and learn from it. Of course, sometimes it's hard to laugh. The man who traveled to Auckland instead of Oakland didn't feel like laughing. But even that mistake turned out all right in the end. The airline (航空公司) paid for the man's hotel room and meals in New Zealand and for his flight back to California. "Oh well," the man later said, "I always wanted to see New Zealand."
6.The main topic of this passage is ________.
A. mistakes made by people in airports
B. troubles experienced by foreigners in a new country
C. difficulties had by people when taking a plane
D. problems caused by words that sound alike
7.She told him the plane would arrive in ________.

C. he noticed the direction of the plane
D. he walked up to the gate
9.The sentence "Oh well, I always wanted to see New
Zealand." reflects ________.
A. the man's sense of humor
B. the man's frustration
C. the man's disappointment
D. the man's despair
10.According to the passage one proper way to deal with a
mistake caused by similar-sounding words is ________.
A. to have a sharp ear

如何上好一堂高中英语阅读课 高金梅 内蒙古集宁一中 关键字英语阅读文化背景语法词汇技巧方法 摘要阅读教学就是培养学生有效地进行阅读，培养学生在短时间内获取更多的信息并对信息进行分析推理判断的能力，所以教师要进行有效地教学，让学生在了解文化背景知识，掌握一定的词汇语法知识，有一定的阅读技巧的基础上进行阅读，阅读的效果通过练习进行检测。 随着信息社会的出现，教育既要传播信息，又要培养学生摄取信息、处理信息的能力，而阅读教学的目的就是在于培养交际性阅读能力,有效地获取书面信息，并对此信息进行分析，推理和评价，以实现交际的目的。 阅读课在英语教学中占有重要的地位，它是提高英语教学质量的主要途径，在阅读教学中，教师应改变观念，以学生为主体、教师为主导，加强对学生阅读技能的训练，采用阅读前作有效的导入，阅读中要善于提出明确的目标，阅读后加强训练以巩固，同时还要培养学生的自学能力，切实提高学生的阅读水平。英语阅读在英语教学中无疑有着举足轻重的作用，阅读亦为英语学习输入的重要手段。因此，提高学生的阅读水平至关重要。那么，如何才能达到此目的呢？本人认为，应该从以下几方面着手： 1.了解文化背景知识。 在阅读前，如果我们对某方面的背景知识很了解，不仅可以提高阅读速度，而且可以提高我们对阅读时的信心和加深对文章的理解。有了背景知识，我们不必明白文章中的每一个单词就能理解文章。所以在平时教学中，有必要让学生查阅一些相关资料或者利用多媒体给学生演示一些相关的文化背景知识，这样可以扩宽学生的视野，提高学生阅读的兴趣。例如：十八世纪英国历史时有这样一个句子：“The last was the Battle of Waterlo o, won by the duke of Wellington over the great Napoleon, a victory so important and so complete that today, when we say that a man will …meet his Waterloo?, we mean he will encounter final disaster.”此句中提到了一位历史人物拿破仑（Napoleon）和一场著名的战役———滑铁卢战役（The Battle of Waterloo）。首先来了解一下拿破仑的身世，他在1804-1815 年间任法国皇帝，史称拿破仑一世。而滑铁卢是位于比利时首都布鲁塞尔以南20 公里处的小村。1815 年6 月，拿破仑一世与反法同盟联军在这里展开了最后的决战。结果，拿破仑败北，遭终生流放，这就是著名的滑铁卢之战。滑铁卢也因此而闻名于世，它几乎成了最终失败的代名词。该句中“meet his Waterloo”意指“最终遭受惨败”（尤指经过一段成功之后）。因此，当我们说一个人将“meet his Waterloo”时，指的就是他将遭受彻底的失败。又如对下列这段文字的理解：Tony Trivisonno came to America seeking the American Dream. But he didn?t find it-he created it for himself. All he had were 24 precious hours a day，and he wasted none of them. 这段话选自弗雷德里克·C·克罗弗德（Frederick C. Crawford）的短篇故事“Tony Trivisonno?s American Dream”。这段话是对托尼追寻美国梦的描述。从字面上看，我们只能理解到作者在描述一个勤奋的移民来美国努力工作，最终成功的故事。但如果我们结合“美国梦”及美国人生活特点这一社会文化背景，我们就会发现美国梦对不同的人有不同的意义。但对许多人尤其是对移民而言，它意味着改善自己生活的机会。了解了这一点，我们就会更好地理解这篇文章的潜在涵义。 2.注重词汇和语法知识。 阅读理解不是一项独立的英语技能，它与词汇、语法、文化背景知识等密切相关。因此，在平时的教学活动中，我们要重视学生的单词、语法知识和文化背景知识的积累。 (1)打好词汇基础。每一篇文章都是由词汇组成的，词汇的记忆和应用是阅读理解的第一步。高中学生应该具有3000多词汇量，这需要在平时让学生通过音标，构词法，同义词反义词
适合大学生阅读的英文原著 对于阅读英文书有一些小建议，是以前ABC360的外教教我的，也有很多书是外教老师推荐的，从一个外国人的视角而言非常有新意。现在拿出来借花献佛咯～ 1.挑选适合自己水平的书看。如何知道是否适合自己呢？拿起一本书，随便翻开一页浏览一下，如果低于5个单词不认识，那这本书对你来说太容易了点；如果有超过10个单词不认识，那这本书你看着会有点累；最适合的情况一般是在5到10个之间。 2.不要去深究词意，学会猜词和跳读。读英文书的时候不要去死抠词意，更不要在一旁备着词典查单词。你要享受书本内容，真正处于阅读状态。想想当你读中文书的时候，出现生字词的时候几时你会专门去翻字典？所以读英文书也是一样。遇到生词，直接跳过，如果出现了好几次，那就联系上下文猜猜大概的意思。只有在实在是这个生词会影响阅读和理解时，才需要去查意。 3.再者建议是从自已感兴趣的出发，可以读自已以及读过的中文译本的英文原著。比如我非常喜欢哈利波特，在反复读过很多遍中文版后，选择了这一套书作为英语读物的启蒙。因为之前看过很多遍，所以即使是英文版理解起来也几乎没有难度，也很能引发自已的兴趣。 4.读现代作家的书，畅销书、或者是一些童话。王尔德的童话和《小王子》很多畅销书，特别是划分在青少年读物的那些非常好读，情节有趣，语言生动简单，生词不会太多。 5.如果水平不够高，不建议阅读古典名著。很多名著作品距离现代都有一定
的时间，所以很多生词及现在不常用的习语。读起来非常容易有挫败感。 初级的话推荐床头灯系列和书虫系列。薄薄的一本，都是名著。 水平中上的话就看你喜欢的是什么书了。比如“Pride and Prejudice”"the Sun Also Rises"这种的，看过中文版了解大致情节的再看英文版比较好。 类型有很多，喜欢小说看小说（浪漫的，惊悚的，动人的），喜欢读诗的读诗，关键还是选择有兴趣的让你读完的书。 简单列下书目： 《life of Pi》 我们翻译老师推荐的书目，语言非常好，用词生动而且流畅，情节很棒。不过读起来生词略有一点多。 《gone with wind》《飘》 处于个人兴趣读的，难度挺大的，我差不多看了一整年吧………… 《north and south》《南方和北方》 BBC的同名英剧很棒，但是书不是很推荐，语言非常啰嗦。 《pride and prejudice》《傲慢与偏见》 简奥斯汀最好读的一本，情节的话女生应该都会挺喜欢的 《the remains of the day》 英语课的必读书目，语言偏晦涩，多长句。感情描述非常凝练克制，但是是本非常好的书，今年目前读过的最喜欢的一本。有同名的电影也非常值得一看。《and then there are none》、《murder is easy》、《endless night》、《evil under
浅谈高中英语阅读课课堂教学设计 发表时间：2013-01-21T11:23:15.637Z 来源：《新校园》学习版2012年第9期供稿作者：杨彩红 [导读] 高中英语的阅读课文的选材丰富，是渗透着思想情感的教育，对学生的身心发展会产生较强的感染作用。 张圆 （兰州市六十中，甘肃兰州730060） 摘要：高中英语阅读材料贴近现代生活，许多阅读课文渗透着思想情感的教育，是高中英语教学的一个重要环节。本文对高中英语阅读课教学设计进行初步探讨，提出一种新的阅读课的课堂教学设计，强调学生在阅读教学中的主体性和参与性，重视学生的参与以及学生用英语获取信息、运用信息、处理信息、分析和解决问题的能力，同时也注重学生的知识拓展以及对英语文学作品的审美能力。 关键词：阅读课教学；教学设计 英语阅读课是扩充学生词汇量、丰富学生语言和提高学生语言运用能力的重要课程和途径，是学生拓宽视野，获取知识和信息的重要渠道。新课程标准指导下的Senior Englishfor China 新教材阅读课教材内容十分广泛，包括人文地理、科学发明、历史与文学、体育与健康、宇宙空间、新闻媒体、报刊杂志、旅游与休闲、人权等各种题材。体裁则更加丰富多彩，有记叙、说明、议论、小说、书信、戏剧、游记、幽默等。这样就具有话题广泛、信息量大、语言知识丰富等特征。它是各单元教学的核心，是培养学生阅读能力的经典范文，也是学生吸收和运用信息的主渠道。以高中英语阅读课文为例，对高中英语阅读课文课堂教学设计进行初步探讨，大致分为以下四个环节进行课堂教学设计，每个环节在教学中的侧重点不同，但又缺一不可。 一、导入（Leading in）———引出话题 课文导入环节是为了对阅读作教学准备，引起学生对阅读的兴趣和求知欲。设计好导入环节能有效地激发学生的学习兴趣，培养良好的阅读习惯。采用启发式教学方法，激活学生思维，让学生对文章所给的信息产生好奇的心理，给学生独立思考、大胆想象和自我发挥创造了思维空间，从而激发他们去捕捉文章中的信息。在教学中根据不同的内容可以使用的导入方式有以下几种： 1.背景介绍式（the way to introduce background information） 这种导入模式可以启发学生对有关话题的思考，常用于涉及西方文化的背景知识，比如外国的政治、历史、文学、地理、风俗习惯等题材的文章，我们可以利用PPT 来进行背景展示，也可以通过录像、文字资料、旅游指南、音乐、视频等进行介绍,目的是提供背景信息，启发学生的思维和想象，提升课程周边知识量。在阅读课The British Isles (高二Unit5)的教学中，让学生了解其历史、文化、自然风光等知识，还可以通过世界地图或者教学挂图来让学生了解the British Isles 的地理位置及其它的组成部分。 2.提问式（the way to ask questions） 这是一种常用的导入模式，教师通过教学参考资料或者课文中的重点和难点提出问题，让学生根据自己的常识进行回答，或者带着问题去阅读。提出的问题不仅与本单元的主题有关，而且与阅读材料关系密切。此任务型活动需要学生根据问题的启发，发表自己的见解。学生找到文章中的有关章节并不难，难点在于要求学生用自己的语言将答案概括出来。例如，在进行课文Table manners at a dinner party （高一Unit6）的教学时，笔者要求学生先讨论以下问题： （1）What table manners does the text about? （2）How does the text develop, in the order of content or in theorder of time? 3.讨论式（the way to discuss） 高中英语教材大多数内容都与我们的日常生活密切相关，比如，饮食健康、旅游、自然灾害、疾病与急救常识、环境保护等。在上课前先组织学生讨论与课文有关的话题，能激活学生头脑里的生活体验，启发学生预测课文的内容，展开简短的讨论，以便通过阅读验证自己的推测，让学生在阅读文章时有身临其境的感觉。例如，让学生例举平时在身边发生的紧急情况，比如溺水、交通事故、房子着火、出血、哽住、煤气中毒等，要求他们分组讨论如何自救，从而为阅读课文The rescue(高一Unit5)作好铺垫。 二、课文教学———课文呈现（Presentation） 课文教学是阅读课教学的核心部分，它是学生从文章中吸取信息而进行加工处理的一个阶段，学生要从所给的篇章中找出文章的细节描写、归纳出文章的中心思想，找出文章的主题句和主题段、归纳文章的语言知识，培养学生对获得信息、处理信息、分析问题和解决问题的能力，特别是注重提高学生用英语进行思维和表达的能力。在课文教学时，打破传统的授课模式，不再逐字逐段地为学生翻译句子或者向学生“满堂灌”或“满堂问”，而是要指导学生进行篇章分析，找出每段的中心词和中心句（key word and sentence），理解文章的体裁，掌握每个段落的大意（general idea），归纳出整篇文章的主题，最后让学生欣赏文章。课文阅读教学应该分为以下两步来进行： 1.快速浏览（Skimming)———初步感知 快速浏览是为了获取特定的信息而阅读，要求学生在限定的时间内找到问题的出处，并迅速找到问题的答案。在进行课文Kwanzaa(高一Unit14)设计与课文有关的的几个问题，要求学生通过快速浏览来回答： （1）What is the name of the festival? （2）What is the festival about? （3）When do people celebrate Kwanzaa? 教师要让学生养成正确的阅读习惯，训练学生“Z”字型的阅读方式，避免一个词一个词地逐行阅读，而是要快速用眼、用心、用大脑去扫描文章，集中精力用大脑去捕捉每段文字所传达的信息并对信息进行简单的加工和处理。 2.详细阅读(Careful reading)———深化理解 详细阅读是课文教学的重要环节，是学生掌握课文内容的关键。首先要引导学生仔细阅读课文，了解课文的主要情节和细节，可以让学生分析段落、段落大意以及段落之间存在的内在逻辑联系。在详细阅读这一环节还可以给学生设计多项选择题或者正误判断题让学生讨论。分段细读，注意细节，帮助学生深化理解。例如，进行课文Chuck’s friend（高一Unit 1）的教学时，设计划分文章段落大意的题，目的在于教会学生理清文章的层次，进一步理解阅读材料的内容。 详细阅读之后，在学生基本掌握课文内容的基础上，教师通过播放录音，要求学生在听的过程中注意英语的语音语调和句子的停顿，

高中英语阅读课流程 阅读课应该是我们的传统课，是核心课，也是成熟的课型。大家对阅读课模式已经深入人心，但对其内涵还需要进一步解读和完善，尤其是青年教师。 一、读前(Before reading )：leading-in 1.导入，简洁明了，直奔主题，目的是激发学生阅读兴趣。 这次老师们导入都没有超过三分钟，把宝贵的时间留给了阅读，留给了学生。非常好。有的利用图片，视频，话题等直接引入。 2．预测 本文非常值得预测，而且课文中也提示这样做。预测之后检查预测，就形成了fast reading，同时告诉他们阅读策略。但并不是每篇文章都需要预测，要根据文章话题，结构而定。 3.生词处理 生词是否要处理（目的和需要）？何时处理好（时机）？怎样处理（方式）？阅读课的目的是为了理解，培养阅读能力和阅读微技能。生词处理的目的也应该为了阅读，为了更好的理解文本而服务。生词是否需要处理要根据生词的量而定。如果太多影响学生理解或即使学生猜测也不能理解的话，就很有必要处理，绝不能回避。本文共39个生词，既有生僻词汇，专有名词，也有重要词汇和重点短语，因而需要处理。 何时处理好（时机）？分散与集中相结合。根据文章需要可以在读前如专有名词，在读中如skimming, scanning中进行。如在回答问题中，在问题中，在答案中让学生通过句子和上下文进行猜测或者在同义词替换，或者举出一个语境来猜测。也可以在careful reading集中处理。 怎样处理（方式）？①给出英语解释；②在语境中猜测如use up。My money has used up, and I have to ask parents for help. I have run out of my money, and I have to ask parents for help. I have no money now.③用图片的方式在问题中或回 答问题中进行。如alternative energy ,利用图片展示wind energy, water energy, solar energy然后在组句Wind energy, water energy and solar energy are the forms of the alternative energy.这样学生就可以理解了。再例如，问句What people won’t have to pay for?中won’t have to pay for means free of change。④在长难句翻译中猜测。All forms of recreation, such as cinemas, bowling, softball, concerts and others will be provided free of charge. Free of charge means for free or needn’t pay for.⑤直接给出汉语意思。⑥部分不影响篇章理解的词汇可忽略。 二、读中(while-reading )Input：有序输入（top-down-top） 分层阅读并限时进行。限时要有依据，文本有多少单词，高一学生需要几分钟，高二学生设定几分钟，高三学生要几分钟。这些不仅要根据文本的长短，还要依据本文的生词量多少，文章的题材（说明、议论、记叙、新闻报道等），文章的
