武进区前黄实验学校英语组庄桃燕许辉静初高中英语阅读衔接教学研究课题计划一、研究的背景长期以来，初高中教学相对独立，仅以中考为纽带形成有明显局限性的联系。

而历史学科为非中考学科，受中考指挥棒的影响，学生，学校对历史的教学普遍不够重视，这种现实造成的实际情况也非一朝一日所能该变。

而对于学生来说，掌握基础的历史知识，并合理的运用又是十分需要和必要的。

我校是一所由江苏省前黄高级中学举办的公办民营学校，初中学生绝大部分将升入普通高中就读，初高中两个阶段联系密切。

如何使学生获得历史学习后续发展的能力，为高中教学打下坚实的基础，成为本课题研究的重点。

为此，应当探索灵活的教学模式，大胆地进行改革尝试。

在初高中教师对口协商的前提下，允许初中教师在教材取舍、考核方式及考核侧重点等方面进行改革，以务实创新的态度，努力搞好初中历史教学，让学生更好地适应高中阶段的学习。

再加历史新课程改革正在走向纵深，需要我们更深入的进行更高层次的学习和研究。

鉴于以上的情况，我们在初高中衔接创新教育的大前提下，着重于英语学科阅读能力的构成及培养研究。

学科能力是一种综合能力，它包含学生学习过程中的思维能力、想象能力、记忆能力、表述历史问题的能力等一般能力，所有这些能力可归并为阅读理解、语言和文字表述、整理和归纳、分析与运用四大类。

它们指向的目标各有侧重，其培养训练的方式也不一样。

初中阶段正是良好习惯塑造时期，利用地课堂时间，培养学生这方面的能力，养成习惯，将会使之获益终身，同时也为高中后续学习提供了稳妥的支撑。

二、理论思考（一）概念界定本课题是以当前正在进行的基础教育课程改革为背景，初中为立足点，解决英语学科阅读学习的衔接问题，是自下而上的发展性研究，而非传统的补偿性研究。

所谓英语学科阅读能力结构是基于英语学科的特点，要求学生领会教科书的篇章结构、大小子目和内在联系，哪些是基本史实，哪些是基本原理或观点。

学生在阅读教材的过程中通过感知，参与了观察、思维、想象分析、归纳、综合等多种思维活动，过程中养成历史学习的综合能力。

Trying to help injured, displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking; survival is never certain. However, when it works, it is simply beautiful.I got a rescue call from a woman in Muttontown. She had found a young owl(猫头鹰) on the ground. When I arrived, I saw a 2-to 3-week-old owl. It had already been placed in a carrier for safety.I examined the chick(雏鸟) and it seemed fine. If I could locate the nest, I might have been able to put it back, but no luck. My next work was to construct a nest and anchor it in a tree.The homeowner was very helpful. A wire basket was found. I put some pine branches into the basket to make this nest safe and comfortable. I placed the chick in the nest, and it quickly calmed down.Now all that was needed were the parents, but they were absent. I gave the homeowner a recording of the hunger screams of owl chicks. These advertise the presence of chicks to adults; they might also encourage our chick to start calling as well. I gave the owner as much information as possible and headed home to see what news the night might bring.A nervous night to be sure, but sometimes the spirits of nature smile on us all! The homeowner called to say that the parents had responded to the recordings. I drove over and saw the chick in the nest looking healthy and active. And it was accompanied in the nest by the greatest sight of all — LUNCH! The parents had done their duty and would probably continue todo so.4．What is unavoidable in the author’s rescue work according to paragraph 1?A．Efforts made in vain.B．Getting injured in his work.C．Feeling uncertain about his future.D．Creatures forced out of their homes.5．Why was the author called to Muttontown?A．To rescue a woman.B．To take care of a woman.C．To look at a baby owl.D．To cure a young owl.6．What made the chick calm down?A．A new nest.B．Some food.C．A recording.D．Its parents.7．How would the author feel about the outcome of the event?A．It’s unexpected.B．It’s beautiful.C．It’s humorous.D．It’s discouraging.When everything is going wrong, there's nothing like listening to a few bars of your favorite sad song. But why do we find pleasure in sad music? This puzzled two researchers at the Freie Universität Berlin in Germany who set out to explore our strong feeling for sad songs in a world where entire industries exist to help us remove sadness from our lives.Their study — based on a survey of more than 770 people around the world and published this month in the journal, PLOS ONE — discovered sad music can create positive emotions, like peacefulness and kindness, and that choosing the tearful ballad on your music player offers three benefits.The biggest turned out to be that sad songs allow you to feel sadness without any of its “real-life contexts.” In other words, you can safely explore what it's like to be a little blue without experiencing the great pain of losing a loved one, for example.“Emotion control” was another important benefit. Many of those surveyed said that when they were in a bad mood (情绪), experiencing sadness through music made them feel better afterwards and provided an emotional improvement. That may be because the songs help them to express and let go of their emotions, researchers noted. “Sad music promotes and creates a space for reflection and reexamination of personal experiences, thoughts and feelings,” one of the researchers addedThe benefit of “empathy” (同理心) made the listener feel good by allowing him to share the sadness of another human being through the song. When we're having social problems, like when we're feeling lonely, homesick or missing someone, the sad songs can offer comfort by showing someone else shares our state of mind, the study found.So it turns out that Elton John was right: Sad songs do say so much.8．What does the underlined word “This” in Paragraph 1 refer to?A．When things go wrong.B．What to explore in sad songs.C．Why sad music brings us joy.D．How to remove sadness from life. 9．Which of the following best describes the findings of the study?A．Benefits of sad music.B．Strong feelings in sad music.C．Real-life contexts of sad music.D．Empathetic comforts from sad music.10．How does sad music achieve "Emotion control"?A．By freeing us from bad moods.B．By bringing great pain to us.C．By helping us reflect on exams.D．By providing a space for us.11．Why is Elton John mentioned at the end of the passage?A．To prove Elton John was right.B．To show Elton John wrote songs.C．To make the readers think deeply.D．To stress the point of the passage.Searches on Google, finding friends through Facebook and being able to buy simplyanything on Amazon have all been made possible thanks to major leaps forward in technology over the past 15 years.However, that comes at a price. As our lives are gradually automated, many people are losing their jobs. And advancing technology has not delivered jobs as it should. At the end of 2015 a total of 74, 505 employees were working for Google's Alphabet and Facebook, accounting for less than a third of Microsoft's total staff. However, the combined stock-market value of these companies was twice as big as Microsoft's. Newcomer tech giants in the market are in need of even fewer workers. In 2016, semiconductor manufacturers slashed their number of workers by half to just 359,000.Despite major concerns about the future of jobs and the economy in general, 140 years of data has shown technology as a whole has actually brought to life more jobs than it has ended. Technology has been described as a “great job-creating machine”. For instance, while roles in the agriculture, washers, and examples of repetitive services, have decreased, there has been a rise in caring posts, such as teaching, educational support assistants; welfare, housing, youth and community workers; and care workers and home caring.The aging battle between man and machine will continue as it has for centuries. The question is “Are machines taking over our jobs, or is our workload being eased by their presence?” This will be an ongoing debate especially with the current rise in machine learning technology and artificial intelligence.12．What does the underlined word “slashed” in Paragraph 2 mean?A．Cut.B．Increased.C．Counted.D．Predicted. 13．What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 3?A．Introduce a view.B．Prove a theory.C．State the opposite.D．Draw a conclusion.14．What posts are on the rise thanks to the development of technology?A．Farmers.B．Washers.C．Miners.D．Teachers. 15．Which of the following is a suitable title for the text?A．Is technology leading us nowhere?B．Is technological progress real progress?C．Does technology destroy or create jobs?D．Does technology bring convenience tohumans?At the end of a long day, it’s all too easy to take a hot shower, brush your teeth, and then jump into bed. 16 As it turns out, going to bed with wet hair isn’t as harmless as you probably thought.The first negative result of sleeping with wet hair is purely cosmetic (美容). 17 lf you try to style your hair in the morning after sleeping on it wet, you’re probably going to have trouble styling the resulting curliness (卷曲), funny waves, and flat sides.When you wake up, you’re probably going to have to re-wet it again to properly dry it and regain control. 18 .Sleeping with wet hair does not immediately damage your hair, but it can certainly lead to hair breakage, because hair is weakest when wet.19 First, you can swap your cotton pillowcases for silk ones. Silk has a much smoother surface, so you won’t experience as much unfortunate breakage.Next, you can make sure to sleep with your hair down, instead of up in a tight ponytail. In addition, you should replace your tight bands with a soft one that isn’t going to roughly pull at night.20 Dry oils and texturizing mousses (摩丝) are some of the best ways to ensure you don’t wake up looking like a lion while protecting your precious hair from damage.Now that you know how bad sleeping with wet hair is, make sure you’re not making these hairstyle mistakes.A．Finally, never skip out on applying product.B．Here are some tips that can help dry any hair faster.C．This unnecessarily adds time to your morning routine.D．If you haven’t noticed, the ends of your hair tend to dry first.E．You can’t predict how your wet hair is going to look in the morning.F．But have you ever thought about the risks of sleeping with wet hair?G．If you must sleep with wet hair, there are a few ways to minimize the damage.二、完形填空Tears clouded my eyes as I stood in our washing room, holding Brett’s jeans and shirt full of burn holes.21 and defeated, I sank to the floor.

Many windows in our house needed repair due to his breaking 24 to steal money when he chose to live on the street. Yet none of this could 25 the emotional damage Brett had done to our once quiet home.As a native speaker, Brett came to live with us when he was 12 years old. During the next few years I had dealt with Brett as 26 as possible, but inside I was shouting, “I don’t want him in my house another day, Lord! I just can’t 27 him!” Having wiped my tears, I continued 28 him as before.When Brett was nearly 18, he landed again in the juvenile hall (少管所). After that, my husband and I had to send Brett to a boarding school for helping 29 teens.At the 30 ceremony (典礼), each graduate held a white rose to give to the person who had 31 the most to him or her.Brett spoke 32 to his parents and then spoke to me, “You did so much. You were always there. For my mom and dad, I was their 33 . But you, although 34 enough by me, always 35 me such love. And I want you to know I love you for it.”Love is action. We may not always have positive feelings about certain people in our lives, but we can love them.21．A．Amazed B．Tired C．Calm D．Secure 22．A．ruined B．designed C．rented D．acquired 23．A．danger B．date C．trouble D．order24．A．on B．in C．up D．away 25．A．pick out B．relate to C．compare to D．regard as 26．A．patiently B．willingly C．strictly D．rudely 27．A．appreciate B．educate C．stand D．press 28．A．parenting B．pardoning C．comforting D．struggling 29．A．lazy B．troublesome C．disappointing D．careless 30．A．opening B．official C．victory D．graduation31．A．afforded B．meant C．supplied D．responded 32．A．lovingly B．globally C．proudly D．nervously 33．A．friend B．target C．kid D．teenager 34．A．confused B．troubled C．touched D．desired 35．A．cost B．proposed C．based D．showed三、语法填空语法填空Raising healthy, trustworthy, and independent teens 36 (require) honoring their growing need for privacy (隐私). However, it can be 37 struggle for parents to let go of supervising (监管) every aspect of their child’s life. In fact, giving kids more freedom is the key 38 helping them grow up and develop the skills they need to be functioning adults.As teens grow up, they seek more 39 (responsible) and independence. They want to be trusted to do more than they did when they were 40 (young). They also want to be thought of as mature. They want you to respect their opinions and desires.However, the foundation (基础) for teen privacy has to 41 (build) long before adolescence (青春期). Angela Lamson, a professor at East Carolina University, says building trust starts when your child is a baby and you begin building a strong parent-child relationship 42 also respects the child as an individual.As your child ages, if you 43 (create) an open dialogue and trust-based relationship already, you’ll be able to give them more freedom.Giving teens space and privacy lets them feel 44 (trust), as well as capable, independent, and confident.

She just didn’t want George to bring all that nature into her house!Susan and Moses Carver wanted George to have a good education. But the schools near George’s house were for white children only.
