外研版九年级英语xx复习计划
xx中学xx
一、指导思想:
九年级下学期的教学和复习工作十分关键。面对着升学的压力和任务，面对着这两个班学生的英语程度相差很大的实际情况，要更加深入地研究教材，根据学科特点及学生特点研究切实可行的课堂教学模式和复习模式；同时,要进行分层次教学。对于基础好的学生要加大知识的容量，拓展知识的层面，使他们更上一层楼；对于基础较差的学生要因势利导，因材施教，使他们在原有的基础上有所提高、有所收获，为将来的学习打好基础。
二、学生情况分析
从上学期期末的质量检测成绩来看，九年级(2)、(3)两班学生的英语学习情况和其他班级很相似，学生英语水平普遍较差,成绩优秀的(3)班较多，(2)班特少，其余部分学生已经对英语失去了信心，还有一部分学生觉得英语越来越难，渐渐力不从心，不感兴趣了，发言也不是很活跃。针对这种情况，教学时需要注意在备课中增加趣味性，提高学生对英语学习的兴趣，同时注意绝大多数学生，注重打好基础，从最基本的东西抓起，避免拔苗助长。
三、总体目标
1、加强学习高效课堂教学模式，改革课堂教学模式，提高学生的学习能力，增强课堂效果，把课堂变成学生学习的乐园。
2、做好中考总复习工作，抓好优秀生，提高边缘生，盯住学困生，不让一个学生漏掉，鼓励学生向目标迈进，中考争取取得好成绩。
四、xx
关注学生的全面发展，整体提高；注重双基，夯实基础，强化学生能力。练习过程中注重精讲精练，精雕细刻，决不漏掉一个知识点。同时培养学生将所学的词汇、短语、句型、句法应用到实际中，提高日常交际能力，解决实际问题。
五、具体工作措施
1、钻研七、八、九年级六本教材，形成固定的知识体系，研究2015年的考试说明，精选2013和2014两年的中考题。
2、大练教学基本功，提高课堂教学能力。
3、实行课堂教学模式改革，实践高效课堂教学模式。
4、指导学生预习、听课、记笔记、复习、做作业、小结和讨论，养成良好的学习习惯。
六、总体教学与复习思路
1、单元复习。通览教材，进行知识点扫描。对基础知识和基本技能进行系统的复习，把好“基础关”；掌握各单元知识结构，全面地复习知识点，完成理解记忆；重视课标要求与教材的基础作用，强化基础知识和基本技能的训练；面向全体，面向基础。
2、语法复习。钻研考试标准和考试说明，对语法、词法、句子、时态和话题进行专项复习。统揽教材中的重点语法项目，让学生从整体上把握教材内容。
3、题型专练，模拟演练。按照中考题型（听力、单项选择、阅读理解、综合填空、任务型阅读和书面表达）进行题型专练，了解学生对基础知识和基本技能的掌握情况，抓住中考题型变化，确定训练方式，进行查缺补漏。最后进行几次中考模拟演练，演练之后教师要精讲精炼，在讲题上下功夫。
5、具体复习内容
第一轮复习：基础复习
时间安排：2月24日----4月25日
主要内容：复习教材中出现的单词、短语、常用句型；熟记对话和课文，理解所学语法内容。
阶段目标：完成理解性记忆内容，熟记课文中出现的单词、短语、常用句型；熟练掌握对话和课文内容，所学语法能达到一定的应用程度。
具体思路：复习应以大纲为依据，教材内容为根本，按教材的顺序进行单元复习。
复习一单元之前，给学生认真记忆书后单词和短语；课上检查，然后让大家找出本单元的知识点，总结用法，教师再做以适当的补充；这一阶段的复习，充分发挥学生的主观能动性，以教师总结为辅，学生复习为主。注重学生归纳，教师指导应注意事项。（对学生已掌握的内容少讲或不讲，对学生不够熟练的要重点讲。）同时教师要根据每单元的重点内容有针对性地设计一些练习题，巩固所复习的知识点。最后，再将单元的知识点赋予下一单元书后的单词和短语中，进行再一次检测。

Module 1 When I arrived, it was early morning and it was raining. I got out of the car, went through a gate and walked along a path. In the east, the sky was becoming light. I knew it was there, but there was nothing to see. After about a mile, a stranger appeared in front of me. “Am I going the right way?” I asked. He knew where I was going. “Yes,” he replied. “you’ll get there in five minutes.” Finally, I came to some rocks and stopped. I looked over them, but it was silent and there was no sign of it. Suddenly, the clouds cleared and the rain stopped. The sun rose behind me and beyond the rocks. I saw that the ground fell away and down to a river, far below me. I was looking across the Grand Canyon, one of the wonders of the natural world. I looked down to the Colorado River, from here a silver stream nearly one mile below me. If you put the two tallest buildings in the world on top of the each other at the bottom of the canyon, they still wouldn’t reach the top. Then I looked across to the other side of the canyon. How far is it? It’s about fifteen miles, maybe more. Finally, I looked to my left and to my right, and on both sides the canyon went far away, about 277 miles long. The Grand Canyon is not just big. It’s huge! I remained by the canyon for about half an hour, and I asked myself, “Is the Grand Canyon the greatest wonder anywhere in the natural world?” I certainly know the answer. But what do you think? Module 2 Thanksgiving is an American festival. People give thanks for their food. It’s celebrated on the fourth Thursday in November and it’s a time for a special dinner among family and friends. We’ve celebrated the festival since the first pioneers from England arrived in America by ship in the seventeenth century. While they were crossing the Atlantic, many people died, and after they landed, their first winter was worse than any English winter. The local people, the Native Americans, taught the pioneers how to grow corn, catch fish and keep cows, sheep and hens. The following year they celebrated together by eating a dinner of the new food. We still celebrate Thanksgiving today with a traditional dinner. The kitchen is the most crowded room in our house because we all help to prepare the food there. We lay the table, then before we begin dinner, my father gives praise for the food, so we remember where the festival comes from. We usually eat too much, but it’s only once a year! We often listen to speeches and tell stories after dinner as well. When it’s all over everyone helps wash the dishes.

四、阅读表达 （一） Confidence is very important in daily life. It can help you to develop a healthy attitude. A study shows that the people who are more confident are much happier. They can have more chance to make themselves successful. But how to be more confident? Here are some suggestions： Speak loudly. When you are not confident , you can’t do well what you want to do. You speak in a voice so low that other people can hardly hear you. Try to speak loudly enough so that people can hear you clearly. The high voice can help you become more confident . Play sports. Physical exercise makes you tired but completely relaxed. A strong body helps you be full of confidence. Encourage yourself. Write down a list of things you did during the day to see how many things you have done well. Did you finish your homework？Did you tell a joke that made everybody laugh? Give yourself praise for the good things you’ve done. Get rid of fear. Fear comes along with failure. But it’s easy to overcome if you know that failure is part of your life. Don’t hide your head just because you said something stupid last time. Try to start again and believe you can do better. Pick up a hobby. If you like singing , sing as much as you can. In some ways , a hobby can make you outstanding. And it will make you happy and confident . 1.How many suggestions can help you to be more confident? ______________________________________________________ 2. 从文中找出与下面句子意思相近的句子 You speak in a voice too low for other people to hear you. ______________________________________________________ 3.How can you encourage yourself ? ______________________________________________________ 4.将短文中划线句子译成汉语。 ______________________________________________________ 5.请给短文拟一个适当的标题。 ______________________________________________________ (一)答案： 1.Five suggestions. / 5. 2.You speak in a voice so low that other people can hardly hear you. 3.Give yourself praise for the good things you’ve done. 4.如果你明白失败是人生中的一部分，就容易克服。 5.How to be more confident？/ Suggestions to be more confident / Suggestions for confidence (二) Waste can be seen everywhere in the school. Some students ask for more food than they can eat and others often forget to turn off the lights when they leave the classroom. They say they can afford these things. But I don’t agree with them. Waste can bring a lot of problems. It is reported that we will have no coal or oil to use in 100 years. So if we go on wasting our resources, what can we use in the future? Think about it. (1) I

The festival is a very busy time for travel when friends and families come together to celebrate. After we finish the Thanksgiving Day festival, there are plenty of other things to see and do. We live in New York City, and we go to watch the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, along with thousands of people as it goes along several streets and finishes at the famous Macy’s Store. Thanksgiving is also the start of the Christmas season, and we start shopping for presents. Football is also important at Thanksgiving, with many teams playing games. Like many Americans, we usually watch the games on television and enjoy ourselves very much.
Module 1 Unit One The flight was late. Lingling: Welcome back, everyone! Betty: Hi Lingling! How was your holiday? Lingling: Not bad! I went to Henan Province. But the trip back was very long. The train was full of people, and I had to stand for over six hours. Betty: Bad luck. Where's Tony? Daming: He's staying with his family in the UK, and flying back tomorrow. The flights were late today. Betty: Why is travel so difficult in winter? Lingling: Well, it's the busiest season in China because of Spring Festival. Where did you go, Daming? Daming: We flew to Hong Kong—and the flight was late! But we took the boat to Landau Island and went to Disneyland. Lingling: How about you, Betty? Betty: We had quite a good time in Beijing. We went sightseeing by bus and by taxi. And last weekend, we took a tour by coach to the Summer Palace and went for a long walk. Daming: And now, better get back to work ... We've got exams at the end of the term. Betty: Yes, but there are plenty of fun things to do this term ... the school trip ... Lingling: ... and the school leavers' party ... Daming: ... the visit to the English-speaking theatre in Beijing ... Lingling: And our trip to Los Angeles! We'll have a great time! Unit Two Excuse Me. You're Sitting in My Seat! The train to Beijing! Lin often dreamed about the train, and about going to the capital. Now it was in front of him, to set off soon. He looked at his brother. "Don't forget where you come from, little brother," Jin said. "And watch your bags carefully." Lin nodded, unable to speak. This was his first long trip by train at the start of his new life, leaving his village and his home for the last 16 years. He held Jin in his arms. With tears in his eyes, Jin pushed Lin away. "Go, brother. Write to us as soon as you get there, OK?" Lin jumped onto the train. There were people and bags everywhere. He pushed past them towards his seat. A young man was sitting in Lin's seat. He was wearing jeans and a very smart jacket, and was smoking a cigarette. What should he do? Six pairs of eyes looked at Lin, while the man looked out of the window. "Sir, you're sitting in my seat," Lin said, with a nervous smile. The other people watched with interest. The man didn't turn to look at Lin, but just looked out of the window. "Excuse me. I have a ticket with the number of the seat you're sitting in!" Lin said in a stronger voice. "I also have a ticket with that number—though it is in another car. Besides, I was here first," said the man, without moving his head. Though he was sitting, he looked very tall and strong. Lin looked at the other passengers for help. "But ... " he started to say. "But what?" The man turned and looked at Lin. "I'm not moving." Finally a man wearing glasses spoke in a loud voice. "This young man has the right ticket for that seat. You should move." Lin felt brave. "See? Please move. I've got a long way to go." "How long?" the young man asked. "To the last stop, Beijing." "I'm getting off before you. Then you can have my seat. "
