Both of Jessica's parents were lawyers and expected her to follow suit. So she went to law school, got a job at a great firm in Washington, DC, and worked as a lawyer for a decade. But her heart was never in it. “I had a big salary but no personal satisfaction,” she says.
Jessica found pleasure in the same thing that had brought her joy since joining the church choir at the age of 12. “Singing always felt like communicating something real at a spiritual and emotional level,” says Jessica. Yet she never considered it a career option.” That seemed like something people did in fairy tales, and I would never let my parents down.” She says.
It was her mom's diagnosis of brain cancer in 2009 that made Jessica realize she had to write her own happy-ever-after.” Work was busy and my mother was ailing. So I was flying back and forth from Washington, DC to Houston to see her,” Jessica says. “I finally said, “ enough!” and quit.” While caring for her mom, Jessica made a plan. She would spend her savings and study music for a year, and then open a part-time law practice so she could pursue her passion. Before her mother passed away two years later, she encouraged Jessica to follow her dream. Her song Live This Life was inspired by her mom, and her dad came to watch her perform at clubs.
In 2012, Jessica moved to Nashville to try singing and songwriting. A decade of presenting cases in court gave her the confidence to sing for a crowd. “At 20, I would have been too shy to perform,” says Jessica.
“Doing music is so free.” Jessica says. “There's no pressure to be a star. Success, to me, isn't
a dollar amount or a record deal; it's doing what I love.”
1.Which of the following is TRUE?
A.Jessica didn't really like working as a lawyer.
B.Jessica didn't know what she truly loved for ten years.
C.Jessica wasn't satisfied with the pay she got as a lawyer
D.Jessica was grateful for her parents' arrangement for her
2.What does the underlined word “ailing” in Paragraph 3 mean?
A.Sick B, Crazy. C. Worried D. unhappy
3.What was Jessica's mother's attitude toward her singing?
A, Unknown B. Doubtful C. Supportive D. Negative

On April 22, 2012, I jumped from an airplane 13,000 feet up. What was the purpose? It was just to overcome my fear of heights.
Seven years ago, when I went to France, I couldn't go up the Eiffel Tower because I was afraid. It seemed so high. I wanted to overcome my fear, so I could dare to go skydiving(跳伞). At first, I didn't think I could, but I finally made it.
I don't think that I could have jumped out of that plane without the encouragement of my wonderful friends and classmates—Yucel and Tatiana! It was a pity that we couldn't jump together. However, as we prepared to jump, there was something special among us—a special bond.
I made a reservation(预定) to go skydiving one week before the day of my jump. I felt nervous during the whole week, kind of blue; but mysteriously. When it was the moment to jump from the airplane, I didn't feel any fear… I just jumped! That was awesome! Awesome!
There was a whole new world and the beautiful sky. I had never seen such a beautiful world!!! First, I felt an awful acceleration(加速度), and then I felt like I was lying in the air… like a bird! I think it was an illusion, but it was wonderful!
The oncoming wind blew me strongly. It was amazing! After about 50 seconds of freefall, the parachute opened. When I landed on the ground, I felt a lack of oxygen. It was difficult to breathe in during the freefall.
I was so glad that I survived and was able to overcome my fear! Everything went well! If possible, I want to jump again. My first jump is an outstanding memory for me.

Good hobbies can bring a lot of pleasure to kids and their parents. Hobbies are things that a person likes to do in his spare time. Some kids like swimming or playing sports, while others may like quieter hobbies such as reading, music, cooking, computer games or board games (棋类游戏). Older kids who can read might enjoy the guitar or the piano, while younger ones might enjoy playing the toy drums and singing along.
Good hobbies for kids can be any type of activity that is beneficial for their over-all growth and has been proven to help them later in life, including self-confidence and any skills that they might learn. When choosing hobbies, parents should remember not to push kids too hard, otherwise they might give up before they really try the hobbies. Also you should give your kids the right to choose hobbies by themselves.
Good hobbies are something that will grow with your kids, stretching(使发挥全部本领) and challenging them enough to keep them interested, but do not take them away from their school work. Instead, good hobbies can help to improve their homework.
Also some hobbies are appropriate only for certain age groups, and can be very good for developing specific areas. For example, some musical instruments are age-specific. Older kids who can read might enjoy the guitar or the piano, while younger ones might enjoy playing the toy drums and singing along.
Take my own experience as a working parent, my daughter started a new hobby in 6th grade. It has turned out to be a good thing for her self-confidence and mental ability. So trying a wide variety of hobbies, maybe one at a time, can be a good thing for everyone.

Passage 4
Stamp collecting is a hobby of mine. Since I have spent a large amount of money on this hobby, a friend asked me whether I regard stamp collecting as a hobby or investment.
My interest in stamps goes back to the days when I was a little boy admiring the beautiful little pieces of paper stuck on the top right corners of envelopes. As I grew to take a more than superficial interest in stamps, my stamp collection grew in quantity and quality, especially after I started earning an income and became able to buy the stamps that I loved and could afford. I discovered the difficulty of having to store the stamps. It is expensive to buy the tools needed to properly collect, store and display stamps.
So far, my hobby has gone from being a little boy's love of beautiful pieces of paper to a more specialized(专门的) and intentional effort to collect stamps based on selected countries and themes.
I now have an outstanding collection that includes a priceless collection of a particular country's stamps. I cannot put a price to it because very few others have an interest in that country's stamps, and the only similar collection I have seen is in a museum.
So would one consider my interest in stamp collecting a hobby or investment? I think it could be seen in both ways. I enjoy stamp collecting as a hobby that could turn out to be highly profitable investment.
1. As a boy, the writer began to collect stamps because ___________________________
A.he had enough money
B.he liked the stamps
C.he thought it as an investment
D.he often received letters
2. What does the writer think his collections of stamps are like?
A.Similar.
B.Unique.
C.Priceless.
D.Superficial.
3. What difficulty did the writer meet with in his stamp collecting?
A.Buying good stamps.
B.Having similar collections.
C.Collecting stamps based on certain themes.
D.Getting the tools needed to store stamps.
4. What does the writer mean in his last sentence?
A.He thinks stamp collecting could be more interesting.
B.He doesn't regard stamp collecting as a potential investment.
C.Stamp collecting is his hobby now, but can also bring him some money.
D.Some people regard stamp collecting as a hobby while others an investment.

参考答案：DCABC
Habits, whether good or bad, are gradually formed. When a person does a certain thing again, he is driven by some unseen force to do the same thing repeatedly, then a habit is formed. Once a habit is formed, it is difficult, and sometimes impossible, to get rid of. It is therefore very important that we should pay great attention to the formation of habits. Children often form bad habits, some of which remain with them as long as they live. Older persons also form bad habits lasting as long as they live, and sometimes become ruined by them.
There are other habits which, when formed in early life, are of great help. Many successful men say that much of their success has something to do with certain habits in early life, such as early rising, honesty and so on.
Among the habits which children should not form are laziness, lying, stealing and so on. These are all easily formed habits. Unfortunately older persons often form habits which could have been avoided(避免).
We should keep away from(远离) all these bad habits, and try to form such habits as will be good for ourselves and others.
1. ________ are formed little by little.
A. Good habits
B. Bad habits
C. Both good habits and bad habits
D. Either good habits or bad habits

C. children
D. other persons

A. to form bad habits; to form good habits
B. to form good habits; to form bad habits
C. to form such habits as will be good; to get rid of bad habits
D. to get rid of bad habits; to form good habits
4. Why should we pay much attention to the formation of habits?
A. Because habits are of great help to every one of us.
B. Because a man can never get rid of a habit.
C. Because it's hard and sometimes even impossible to throw away bad habits.
D. Because we are forced to do them again and again.
5. According to the passage, early rising ________.
A. has something to do with success

In China, I had English classes five times a week since fifth grade. However, I didn’t know how different textbook English could be from everyday English until I came to Hotchkiss School, Connecticut.
When I first studied English, I was told to say,”I am fine” when people say “How are you?” But in the US, I found that people say, “I am good” or “I’m tired”.
One day, someone greeted me with “What’s up?” It made me confused . I thought for a moment and then smiled because I didn’t know what to say.
Since then, I have discovered more and more differences between Chinese and US cultures.
To my surprise, US girls spend a lot of time in the burning sun to get a tan(晒黑). However, in China, girls try every possible way to get their skin paler, or “whiter”.
I was also surprised by how hardworking US students are 。In China, schoolwork is almost everything, so we study hard and that’s it. But here, a “good” student gets good grades, does a lot of work for the public and plays sports or music.

Keeping fish as pets is a popular hobby. Fish take up little room, are inexpensive to feed, and provide an interesting and colorful display in any room.
A tank, or an aquarium (养鱼缸), must be chosen carefully. Many new aquarium owners buy too many fish for their tanks. Fish cannot be crowded. Two fish can live comfortably in each gallon of water, only ten fish can live in a five-gallon tank. Can you see why a goldfish would not live long in a tiny（很小的）, round bowl?
If too many fish are kept together, they will not have enough oxygen (氧气) or room to swim about freely. They will have more diseases. Also, some kinds of fish cannot be kept together. They will fight and may even kill one another. As your interest in fish grows, the number of fish you have may grow, too. Then you may want to invest in another tank.
If you start with a ten-gallon aquarium, what kind of fish would be best? The two major groups of tropical (热带的) fish are those that lay eggs and those that give birth to live young. If you want to raise young fish, guppies (孔雀鱼) would be the best choice because they can produce many babies in a short time.
You can buy fish and aquariums in most pet stores. Ask the owner to help you choose the right fish. You can also find many books about tropical fish in the library.
1. Keeping fish is a good hobby for the following reasons EXCEPT _____.
A. fish are not costly to feed
B. fish are nice to look at
C. fish reproduce babies quickly
D. fish need little space

激发阅读兴趣提高小学生英语阅读能力 许村小学贺微 摘要：在现代信息社会，随着计算机的普及、各种媒体的发展、计算机网络的繁荣，英语阅读的重要性不言而喻。但在实际英语阅读教学中，往往发现绝大多数学生都缺乏英语阅读兴趣，都是以被动的形式进行阅读的。这就要求教师必须改变以往教学观念，通过创设良好的 兴趣是带有情绪色彩的，它往往同愉快的情绪体验联系在一起。学生对英语感兴趣的主要诱因：学习目的，成就感，好奇心和教学法，教材，教师及环境(杨连瑞、肖建芳，2003)。 1、教材。布鲁纳认为，学习的最好刺激，乃是对所学材料的兴趣。(布鲁纳，1973)。阅读材料应符合学生的认知水平与能力水平。如果材料难度太高或者内容太过抽象，学生必然会失去阅读的兴趣，更加无法提高他们的阅读能力了。同时阅读材料并不单一，苏霍姆林斯基说，我在自己的实际工作中始终把握住两套教学大纲：第一套大纲是指学生必须熟记和
保持在记忆里的材料；第二套大纲是指课外阅读和其他的资料来源(苏霍姆林斯基，1994)。 2、教师。每一个老师都在尽量唤起学生对自己所教学科的兴趣。教师的课上得有趣，学生往往带着一种高涨的、激动的情绪学习和思考。教师在阅读中的作用是诱发学生的阅读兴趣，指导阅读方法，帮助学生养成良好的阅读习惯。 3、好奇心。学生有疑问才能产生读书的兴趣，才能引发思维不断深入，由一个被动接受者变为一个主动探索者，充分发挥学生的潜力(郭德俊，2005)。当学生接触到不明确事物或未完成的事态时，就会引起好奇心。这时受好奇心的驱使，探索未知的行为过程或结果， (1)了解小学生的认知水平与阅读心理。小学生处于学龄初期，该年龄期的学生一般说来很乐意并很有兴趣去掌握新知识、技能和技巧，他们渴望学会阅读。但他们的抽象意识不强，对于阅读更喜欢有插图的书，有情节性的故事描述。因此，在阅读理解过程中，教师要按照：由文字到思想、由形式到内容、由部分到整体的心理过程来组织教学。 (2)阐明英语阅读的目的，加强学生的学习动机。从大的方面来说，教师可以向学生阐明英语阅读的重要性。有意识地让学生明确掌握英语阅读对自身的影响，如生活中的日常用品中，常常出现整段的英文说明，学生如果看不懂，那么今后的生活都会跟不上时代的。以
如何提高英语阅读技巧 阅读能力是《英语课程标准》所要求培养的四项语言基本技能之一,也是学习外语最有效、最重要的手段。随着教育改革的不断深入,英语教学旨在培养学生学会学习、学会发展和让学生获得终身学习能力。因此,在教学中如何合理地利用教材中丰富的阅读材料,采取有效的阅读方法提高学 首先，在阅读过程中，应注意克服一些不良阅读习惯以促进阅读速度有效提高。常见的不良阅读习惯有：指读、声读和回视。 指读是指为了在阅读时能集中注意力，学生常常用手指、铅笔、尺子等指着一个个的字或放在这些字的下面阅读。指读减慢了阅读速度，分散读者的注意力，因此，阅读中一定要克服这个毛病。声读一般有三种形式：出声读、默读和心读。事实证明，阅读速度缓慢一般都是因为读者采用了某种声读的方式，所以要提高阅读速度就必须自觉地克服这种习惯。回视又叫返读。如果我们在阅读中多次返回重读，既会影响速度，也会影响理解。这些错误的阅读方法都会把阅读速度减慢，直接影响到我们的思路，因此应及时加以纠正。 兴趣是学习最好的老师，因此，在开始阅读时可以选一些自己感兴趣的、生词不多、篇幅不长的文章进行阅读。这方面文章在英语辅导报里就有一些趣味阅读值得推荐一下。一旦学生有了兴趣，对阅读题就不会有太多的恐惧感了。 在实际进行阅读中学生应加强掌握的几点基础： 一、词汇量 词汇量偏低会制约学生阅读速度。每年中考都会出现超出考纲的词汇，如果考生只满足于记住课本以内的词汇和用法，甚至连课本上的词汇都要大打折扣，怎么能适应中考阅读要求？因此，扩大常用词汇是做好英语阅读的必要手段。学生首先应该记住课本上的基本词汇。其次，通过补充大量英语课外读物，让学生在阅读中复习词汇、巩固词汇、增加词汇，并将补充词汇纳入考查范围之内。学生应适当学习一些基本的构词知识，这有助于学生快速、高效地积累词汇，同时也为猜测生词提供一定的参考依据，便于学生在阅读过程中遇到生词时能观其形，知其意。 二、知识面 中考试题中的阅读文章题材多样，涉及政治经济、社会文化、风俗习惯、历史、地理、科学技术等各个方面；体裁形式丰富，包括记叙文、说明文、议论文、应用文以及新闻报道、广告、通知、操作说明、表格等。这就需要考生在平时对各方面的知识都有所积累。所以增加一些题材广泛的泛读，扩大学生的知识面，让学生多掌握一些文化背景知识，了解当今英语国家历史文化、人物传记、科技教育等方面的社会知识对提高阅读速度是极其重要的，即便是增加非英语阅读也有助于英语阅读速度的提高。另外，还要鼓励学生多读英语报刊、杂志。 三、解题技巧 1.找主题句获取段落的主旨和大意 一篇文章通常都是围绕一个中心意思展开的，而这个中心意思往往由一个句子来概括。这个能概括文章或段落中心意思的句子叫做主题句。因此，理解一个段落或一篇文章的中心意思首先要学会寻找主题句。主题句一般具有三个特点：表述的意思比较概括，相对其主句来看，这种概括性更为明显；句子结构较简单，多数都不采用长、难句的形式；段落中其它的句子必定是用来解释、支撑或发展主题句所表述的主题思想。在一个段落中，大部分主题句的位置有两种： 1）主题句在段首。主题句在段首的情况相当普遍。一般新闻报道、说明文、议论文大
预览： 在小学阶段，我国教科书共安排到左右地单词, 根据我们教师地调查，我们小学生小学毕业也只了到左右地单词量 有人认为小学阶段英语学习要培养兴趣, 这并矛盾, 然而, 兴趣是建立在“懂”地基础上, 地故事.能与教师或同学就熟悉地话题（如学校、家庭生活）交换信息.能读懂小故事及其他文体地简单书面材料.能参照范例或借助图片写出简单地句子.能参与 简单地角色扮演等活动.能尝试使用适当地学习方法，克服学习中地困难.能意识到语言交际中存在文化差异.在小学英语学习中要完成此目标，最基础、最重要地 就是让学生掌握一定数量地词汇.词汇是语言地三大要素（语音、词汇、语法）之一.词汇教学在很大程度上决定着英语教学地成败.著名语言学家威尔金斯（）说：“ , .”二、小学生从几年级开始增加词汇量？我认为各个年级都可以适当地增加词汇量，低中年级主要根据学生地兴趣联系所学地教材适当地增加词汇量，主要目地在于提高学生地学习兴趣.其中高年级是学生增 加词汇量地一个重要时期.因为从中年级到高年级是一个新地转折点，这个时期学生地记忆力和理解力都飞速发展，因此必须采用不同地方法来学习.到了小学毕业 阶段主要重视英语知识以及阅读能力培养，需要同学们把学到地知识灵活运用到对语言、文章地理解中，不断提高分析判断能力、逻辑思维能力和语言运用能力.做 题地时候遇到不认识地单词，说明需要扩大词汇量.而词汇量地增加不是光靠背单词能解决地.如果光死背单词，不仅太枯燥，而且费时效果也差.词汇记忆难是事实，记忆词汇有许多方法，但多阅读，在阅读中巩固词汇地识记不失为一个好方法.另外多看课外读物也不失为一种好方法.阅读地好处是扩大知识面，增加词汇量，提高理解力，巩固词汇和语法结构，同时还有力地推进听说写能力 语言学者认为，阅读是对书面信息进行认知构件地心理过程.通过阅读，可使学生对已经学过地语言知识得到更好地巩固，更大程度上扩大所学语言地词汇量，有利于对语言进一步深入地学习和研究.那么，培养学生地阅读能力地创新教育又应如何体现，下面，笔者就谈一谈在教学实践中所采用地几个步骤： 一、提出问韪，激发学生地阅读兴趣 对于学生来说，只有感兴趣地东西才会使他们积极地参与、开动脑筋、认真思考，所以，在学生阅读一篇英文文章之前，教师应该就根据文章地特点、题材、难度，结合学生地学习程度，首先对整篇文章提出几个能引起学生兴趣地问题，问题要具有直观性，且要简单，要使学生通过对文章地“浏览”就能得出答案，要容易引起学生地共鸣，激发学生地学习兴趣，这样，学生能在教师地指导下进入阅读地第一步——略读.略读实际上也是“预读”，通过略读，可以使读者对文章地大意有—个初步地了解．能激发学生产生想要通过对文章进一步阅读来获取更多信息和学习地欲望.通过对文章地略读也有利于学生对所学文章地整体理解，使学生能较容易地抓住文章地中心思想，学生读得懂，就有了成就感，更能增强学生对文章阅读、学习地信心.教师在设计问题时，要注意所提出问题地趣味性、启发性、直观性和具有高度地概括性.学生带着问题去读文章就比较有针对性，教师在提出问题地同时也可以列出几个文章中地关键词，以便学生在阅读时能比较容易地抓住文章地关键.在学生阅读时.可对学生

小学生英语阅读兴趣的培养 首先要与家长沟通，在家长的帮助下，营造英语阅读重要性的舆论，同时也能为孩子树立英语阅读的榜样。然后教师要带头阅读，引导学生阅读;教师喜爱阅读，才能引导学生爱上阅读;教师把感情融入了朗读，才能让学生有感情的朗读。教师的阅读行为能够感染学生，同学之间的阅读爱好也是能相互感染。所以教师要先引导一批学生，使他们养成英语阅读的习惯，并通过他们的示范带头作用，来感染其他同学，从而逐步引导更多的学生喜爱英语阅读。 在注重老师和同学的示范和熏染作用的同时，教师也不能忽视阅读条件的创设。首先第一点，学生要有好的、适合的英语阅读材料。不适合的英语阅读材料是无法培养学生的阅读兴趣和阅读习惯的，所以我们提倡教师要在自己大量阅读和研究的基础上为学生选择和编写合适的英语阅读材料，因为教师自己编写的阅读材料可能比市面上卖的阅读材料更接近学生的语言水平和生活实际。也可以采取学生与教师合作编写阅读材料的方法(教师给出篇章的框架结构，学生可以根据自己的生活实际填写相应的语言)，因为这样的阅读材料才是学生真实水平的体现，切合他们的生活实际，学生也更容易理解和记忆。在这个过程中，学生同时也锻炼了写的英语能力，这样的自写、自读、自记的方式是学生积累语言有效方法。 在有了熏染的条件后，我们还要加以督促。因为大部分学生和我们自己一样，是有惰性的，如果缺少了督促的力量，学生就很难坚持下去。所以我们在平时的教学中，要对学生的阅读有一个形成性的评价，要定期或不定期的进行朗读和阅读理解的检查，并及时与家长反馈与沟通，以取得家长的支持，共同督促家长养成英语阅读的习惯，让英语阅读成为学生生活的一部分。这样才能达到我们进行阅读教学的目标。 要培养学生良好的阅读习惯就需要：一、喜爱阅读的教师和同学，二、适合的阅读材料，三、必须及时进行阅读的督促和评价。 英语阅读材料该如何选择 (1)增加趣味，贴近生活 阅读材料，尤其是适合小学高年级学生的英语阅读材料，不仅要趣味性浓，并且要贴近生活，以激发学生读的兴趣。只要学生们有兴趣去阅读，各式各样的、内容丰富多彩的文章，都可以将其列入考虑范围之内。 (2)难易适度，循序渐进 阅读材料的难易程度直接影响学生的阅读心理与情感。而它往往又和生词量有关，生词太多，学生读不懂阅读材料，达不到训练的目的，还会对阅读产生畏惧心理而放弃阅读，给进一步的阅读教学造成障碍。其次，文章体裁的不同也会对阅读材料难易产生影响。故事、童话、幽默小品等形式的阅读材料往往比较适合于小学高年级的学生。在充分利用教材资源的基础上，可以选择能为教学目的
提升英语阅读理解的方法 英语教学的目的是培养学生具有较强的阅读理解能力和一定的听、说、写、译能力，使他们能够运用英语进行信息交流。阅读不仅可以扩大学生的词汇量，使其熟悉英语的习惯表达方法，而且还有助于学生准确地理解各种英语表达方式的含义，正确地把握英语语言规律。 教育部最新颁布的《英语课程标准》（实验稿）将英语定为基础教育的必修课，把英语课程学习提到磨砺意志、陶冶情操、拓展视野、丰富生活经历，开发思维能力，发展人文素养的高度，并对高中阶段英语教学听、说、读、写四大技能应达到的目标进行了详细地描述，其中对高中毕业生阅读能力的要求是： （1）能理解阅读材料中不同的观点和态度； （2）能识别不同文体的特征； （3）能通过分析句子结构理解难句和长句； （4）能在教师的帮助下欣赏浅显的文学作品； （5）能根据学习任务的需要从电子读物或网络中获取信息并进行加工处理； （6）除教材外，课外阅读量应累计达到36 万词以上。 高考中对此项能力的测试也变得日益重要，比例也日益增大。近几年的英语高考题，阅读题量大，难度高，有些考生难以在有限的时间内完成，阅读理解能力的好坏对考试的成败具有决定性的意义。因此本文就英语阅读理解教学谈谈几点做法： 1 培养阅读兴趣，扩大阅读量，培养英语思维 孔子就说过：“知之者不如好之者，好之者不如乐之者”。心理学家认为：“兴趣就是认识某种事物或爱好某种活动的倾向。”要使学生乐学善学，就必须激发他们的学习兴趣，唤起他们的求知欲和获得知识的满足感，从而培养学生的学习能力。研究证明，人类对不同于自己的外部事物具有一种好奇和渴望了解的欲望或兴趣。西方文化的文明是完全不同与我们的传统文化的一种文明，不同的文化造就了不同的风格、习惯、价值观念和思维方式。教师在教学时要时刻注意充分把握学生的这种好奇心理，适时地多给学生介绍西方文化的知识、习惯和风俗，以西方人的思维习惯进行思考，还要在平时给学生多介绍些英美等国家的文化背景文章、资料，扩大他们的阅读范围，不断丰富这方面的知识。设法培养学生对异国文化的兴趣，尽可能为学生创设一定的语言环境，培养学生用英语思维的习惯。 2 扩大词汇量，尽量减少阅读障碍 词汇是阅读的基础，特别是英语的应用词汇、与现实生活和最新的科技等密切相关的词汇尤其重要，读者的词汇量越大，理解语言的范围就越广。词汇的记忆与储存不够，就会造成在阅读过程中因“生词障碍”而“处处碰壁”的现象，无法理解句意。可以说，掌握足够的词汇是理解文章的关键。我们每天坚持听写单词、句子，采取抽查，互查，全收全改等多种手段狠抓单词直到学生牢固掌握为止。每周精选两篇小短文要求学生背诵，以扩大词汇量，同时也教给学生们一些记忆单词的方法，如拼读法、词缀法等，对于词汇只能扎扎实实地去记忆、背诵，而记忆、背诵的要诀在于“坚持、反复”。只有基本功夯实了，提高英语阅读能力才能成为可能。 3 阅读能力培养 3.1 把握文章主旨 在阅读教学上，有意侧重于培养学生整体把握文章的主旨大意的能力，引导学生从表层阅读理解向深层阅读理解过渡，突出句与句、段与段之间的关系，重视语篇承接语（connectors）、句子交际功能的标识语（indicators）以及代词的指称和照应等。在阅读材料的处理上，要使学生整体感知阅读材料，理清文章脉络，领略文章大意，明确文章的主题思想，注重培养学生获取文章整体信息的能力。看到一篇文章，指导学生首先应该看Title，然
英语阅读兴趣的培养 【关键词】英语阅读兴趣策略优点 阅读既是学生获得语言知识的平台，又是培养学生自主学习能力的一种方法，同时也是学生提高文化底蕴和加强自身修养的重要途径。我们使用的是译林牛津版的教材。译林牛津版的教材的特点是每个单元都是围绕一个话题进行编排。而教材选用的语言材料具有规范性的特点，较少体现东西方文化的差异。学生必须通过大量的课外阅读才能更好地了解西方文化。因此学生课外阅读习惯 的培养就显得尤为重要。 一、培养学生阅读能力的兴趣 学生如果缺乏兴趣，教学则成为死亡之吻。兴趣是学习最好的老师。在课堂阅读的教学过程中，教师应让学生充分感受到英语的魅力，同时激发学生的阅读兴趣。pwp教学模式将阅读教学分为三段：pre-reading ，while-reading ，after-reading。在读前阶段，老师的导入要能够激起学生的阅读欲望。美国教育家哈曼说过：”那些不设法勾起学生求知欲望的教学，正如同捶打着一块冰冷的生铁。”一篇文章如果导入的精彩，就犹如给一个篇文章披上一层神秘面纱。使得学生跃跃欲试想一睹文章的芳容。例如牛津译林版9a 第六单元的阅读课笔者是这样导入的。课前让两个同学表演根据课文改编的哑剧。一位学生（扮演a murder）蒙面持刀冲进教室（break into ）。另一名学生（扮演 an engineer）正在用电脑工作。谋杀
者杀了工程师。工程师流血而死(bleed to death)。谋杀者清理他的指纹（fingerprint）。他强行进入电脑的数个系统(system)。最后逃离了现场。通过学生形象生动的表演，导出本节课几个重要单词和词组。然后笔者问学生如果这是一个真实的场景怎样帮助警察寻找线索（clue）.这样一来就激起学生想一探究竟的心理。随后 指导学生阅读该篇文章。 通过长期坚持培养学生对教材的阅读兴趣，学生对阅读不再反感。当他们对阅读的兴趣越来越浓，课内阅读已经满足不了他们的 欲望。这时他们就会主动找材料进行课外阅读。 二、英语阅读能力训练的策略 为了帮助学生养成良好的阅读习惯，教师应在教学中循序渐进地训练学生运用各种阅读策略。阅读策略（reading strategies）指读者有意识地使用，用来解决阅读问题的技巧，比如略读、寻读、猜测词义等。策略是读者可以选择的技巧，使用正确可以帮助读者进行有效的理解。 1.略读。 略读是比较常用的阅读方法之一，其作用是为了解全文的大意。学生在阅读时不必逐词、逐句、逐行地阅读。学生可以通过找出文章的关键句（通常位于句首或句末）来获知文章的大意。教师可以 通过限时阅读来培养学生养成略读的习惯。 2.寻读。

提高英语阅读兴趣的策略与方法 摘要：阅读在任何一门语言的学习中都占有非常重要的地位，但又往往是学习的难点。因此找到有效的方法提高阅读效率和兴趣是非常关键的。寻找阅读的切入点;降低阅读难度，排除词汇障碍;灵活设置题型，增强学生间的挑战;了解文化差异，熟悉英语国家的礼仪习惯，文化习俗以及限定时间，快速阅读都是激发阅读热情，提高阅读兴趣的有效方法。 关键词：阅读兴趣有效学生词汇教学 在任何一门语言学习中，阅读所占的比重都是举足轻重的，英语阅读也不例外，而同时阅读又是一件及其枯燥的事情，尤其是对于英语基础不好的学生，他们会把读懂一篇文章视作无比困难的事。但阅读无论对于应试成绩而言，还是作为获取更多知识的语言工具来说都起着决定性因素，由此尽力增强其趣味性就显得更为重要。那么如何做到这一点呢？下面我就几个方面谈一下自己的一些体会和做法： 一、寻找阅读的切入点 良好的阅读习惯的培养和形成不是一蹴而就，需要一个漫长的过程。而当我们接收一个新的班级时，很多情况下孩子们已经形成了对英语的厌倦的态度，这就需要我们教师
花很大的心思去帮他们调整，分析原因，对症下药。找到一个激发阅读热情的良好切入点。 1.一些学生对阅读材料的内容不感兴趣，为了培养他们的兴趣，教师不妨“投其所好”，先让学生阅读他们感兴趣的英语阅读材料，如幽默故事等，贴近他们的生活，便于产生兴趣。 2.与学生一起收集日常生活中遇到的英语阅读材料，如商品的英文名称及说明等，定期让学生展示并说明自己的收集品，然后交换各自收集的材料来阅读欣赏，展出一些有趣的或学生喜爱的收集品。游戏当中就极大的丰富了他们的词汇，激起学习英语的兴趣。 3.和学生一起创办英语班报，让学生找来自己喜欢的英语文章或自写英语文章，编辑成班报，让学生们传阅。让他们在彼此的欣赏中增强英语学习的自信！ 二、降低阅读难度，排除词汇障碍 首先，在日常教学中，每每讲阅读和做阅读的同时就是我们复习词汇知识的过程，对于用词丰富的章节和段落，在略读之后会进行精读，不断的重现一些生疏的词汇和词组。课程标准要求初中一年级课外阅读达到4万词以上，二年级达到1O万词以上，三年级达到l5万词以上。这就需要我们拓展课外阅读，只有大量阅读，才能娴熟地掌握阅读技巧，才能广泛涉猎，才能开阔学生们的眼界，学到新的知
如何激发英语阅读兴趣 (1)“明目” “明目”既明确目的。教师首先让学生认识英语阅读的重要性，以提高英语阅读的内动力。例如，当前的中高考、大学四六级考试，部分机器、药品等的使用说明，求职、出国学习或工作等都涉及到英语阅读知识。一旦明白了英语阅读的重要性，就会为培养和提高英语阅读能力注入充足的内动力。 (2)创境 创境及创造意境。教师应设法创造诱发学生进行英语兴趣阅读的环境，可从班级环境、校园环境、人文环境等方面下手。例如，在教室内张贴英语名言等。另外，还可以见机行事，在“愚人节”可以“捉弄”学生，让他们了解西方的知识。 (3)引领 引领主要包括故事引领和榜样引领。故事引领是指通过教师或学生讲的故事来激发学生进行英语阅读的兴趣;榜样引领指教师带头进行广泛的英语阅读，为学生树立榜样。人人爱听故事，高中生也不例外。既开阔了眼界、享受到课外阅读的乐趣，又培养了阅读兴趣。还可以在班级中开展英语读书交流会等活动，形成“英语书香班级”。 (4)延伸 延伸课堂内容，即教师引导、激发学生去阅读与课内所学内容相关的材料，以扩大知识面。教师在指导学生学习教材时，要趁热打铁，及时推荐与所学内容相关的英语阅读材料，设计能提高学生阅读能力的具体练习题，让学生带着渴求的心情走出课堂，进入课外阅读。 (5)投好 投其所好，教师根据学生的兴趣和爱好，选择适合学生特点的英语阅读材料，以培养学生的阅读与创新能力。如果条件不达标，可以推荐一些英语杂志和英语简易读物。 (6)享受 为了巩固阅读兴趣，应及时为他们提供展示自我的机会，表扬他们的点滴进步，使他们享受阅读成功的喜悦。例如，举行英语读书比赛、英语朗诵会、英语板报等活动。

中学生英语阅读兴趣及能力的培养 ----课题研究报告 一、研究背景 新的英语课程标准《新课标》指出“中学英语教学的目的是巩固,扩大学生的基础知识，发展听、说、读、写的基本技能，侧重培养阅读能力，五级标准是要求学生能读懂供7-9年级学习阅读的简单读物和报刊、杂志，克服生词障碍，理解大意。能根据阅读目的运用适当的阅读策略。”说明新课程标准非常重视英语阅读，同时对英语阅读能力的培养也提出了比以往更高的要求新标准建议：中学英语教学须加强对学生学习策略指导，为他们终生学习奠定基础。 《标准》明确规定：“使学生养成良好的学习习惯和形成有效的学习策略是英语课程重要任务之一”。因此有必要对学生进行阅读能力的培训。 英语阅读教学，作为课堂教学的一部分，在没有英语真实语言环境的情况下，已经成为学生感受语言、使用语言的重要手段之一。 指导学生进行由浅入深、循序渐进的课外阅读，一方面可以拓展学生的知识面，扩大单词量，提高语言的综合运用能力。另一方面，学生借助课外阅读中的背景知识和有关内容可以加深对教材的理 解。语言具有社会性，语感的形成离不开语言环境和必要的文化背景知识，离不开语言实践活动。只有足够量的积累，对语言的运用和感悟能力才能有质的飞跃，阅读就是这个“量”的积累过程。更重要的是，阅读有助于培养学生自学能力和学习的主动性，使其阅读理解能力有或多或少的提高。 二、研究的目的 1.新教材、新课标的要求
新英语课程目标把阅读技能目标描述为：朗读各种文体、英语诗词、报刊杂志、原著及各种商品说明书等非专业技术性资料并理解大意。根据情境、上下文、构词法、句子结构来猜测生词及词组的意思，分析句子结构、理解句子，理顺事情发生顺序，人物行为等。用参考资料、工具书、网络等不同资源、渠道，推理、提取筛选、重组加工信息，解决各种问题。进而培养良好的阅读习惯、阅读策略，形成阅读兴趣，最终提高阅读能力。 2.中考考察力度的加大 近年来，中考英语加大了对阅读能力的考查力度，试卷中阅读量逐渐加大，阅读理解四篇，完形填空两篇。阅读材料的难度逐渐加大，尤其是任务型阅读理解与任务型完形填空难度较大。阅读理解篇幅、阅读量增加，150分的卷面成绩中阅读占了60分。让学生自主地多进行英语阅读，是中考的导向之一，目的是要让学生学以致用。养成英语阅读习惯，从长远来看，是为了让学生掌握一门语言工具，增加竞争砝码；从短期来说，就是要让学生在中考中取得满意的成绩。 3.实际教学发现的问题 新的课程标准对学生的阅读能力提出了更高的要求。但从教学实际中往往发现绝大多数学生没有自主进行英语阅读的意识和习惯，都是以被动的形式进行的，即便有课外阅读，阅读量也是远远不够的。其次，在阅读过程中，如果遇到生词，即使是符合拼读规律的单词，有一大部分学生也不敢自己尝试按照拼读规律读出单词，而是等着老师教。另外，学生在阅读时，不能够根据上下文猜测单词的意思，有时对于一词多义的单词不能够准确的判断单词在句中
如何提高英语阅读速度和阅读能力 1.想要提高英语水平，必须要有一个目标。 你的目标可以是要战胜托福SAT，看懂《经济学人》，或者进入自己理想的大学。 没有目标，就很容易迷茫，坚持不下去。没有目标，你就不知道自己差距还有多少。目标是一个参照物，让你知道自己在什么程度，距离目的地有多远。没有目标，你就会常年沉浸在《书虫》中，不去挑战更高难度的读物。 2.读过很多原著，为什么英语水平还很糟糕？ 我们总是很容易把英语看成一种很难的东西，实际上，并不是英语难，而是绝大部分的英语老师都太差劲，或者说，你用功的时间不够长，诸如每天背诵20个单词、永远读《五十度灰》之类的小说，这种学习方法是不可能学好英语的。 许多人“宣称”自己读了许多英语原著、读物，但是理解意思都是靠蒙，打开中文译文后，发现自己读的和作者写的根本不是一件事情，这种不考虑理解句子的结构、层级、修饰关系的阅读方法，就算读100本提高也只能收效甚微，原因是这种练习不是“阅读”，而是“脑洞大开”。 所谓的良好阅读能力，有几条最基本的法则： ?阅读速度快 ?文字能进入大脑，合上书本后能够概述读过的内容（用来检验自己是否读进去了） ?能精准地理解作者的意思，不脑洞大开 3.学英语到底要不要背单词？ 学英语不用背单词，这是许多英语培训机构的广告语。同时，也是许多学习书籍的宣传语。事实上，单词是肯定要背的，不仅要背，还要大量的背，搭配着阅读材料来背。
背单词经常被人诟病的一点是，即是你背完单词书以后，并不能真正地理解单词之中的微妙意思，比如说“Finish”和“Complete”的区别都要放在阅读中才能感受到。但是，前提是你得先对这个词有基本的印象，才能谈对这个词产生更深刻的认识。你要先认识“狗，犬，汪”三个字，以后再考虑三个字之间的区别在哪里。对于中初级学习者来说，迅速提高词汇量比分辨近义词的差别更重要。 单词书（背单词软件）的好处是可以对你进行查漏补缺，帮你完成基本的词汇构造，徘徊在6000以下的词汇量量级，阅读原著是很吃力，只能一直读很简单的书，或者读得极其痛苦。只要你不是从小大量阅读英文，背单词就是必须的。 学习英语必须明白2个关键点，第一个是单词不背是绝对不行的，第二个是光背单词也是远远不够的。在实践第二点的时候，首先要先把第一点给学明白了。 4.怎么背单词才科学？ 单词要怎么背？ 一天背20个，一年后就有6000个单词了？这个简直是痴人说梦。因为你必须把遗忘的也算进去。单词必须遵循一个原则——多量多遍。第一次的时候，每天背100-200个，然后第二天忘记50%，然后还剩下50-100个，然后复习昨天学的，再继续背100-200个。一本单词书至少要刷3次以上。第二次背的时候，可以把单词的数量调整到一次200-300个，反复多次，你会发现自己背得越来越快。 背单词有几个注意事项： ?不要在一个单词上消耗太多时间 ?要按照读音来记单词
培养学生阅读兴趣提高英语阅读能力 随着我国经济的迅猛发展，国家交往领域的不断拓宽，越来越多的外国人来到中国经商、投资、旅游，这就促使社会需要更多的具有较高英语素质的人才。当今的社会是信息的社会， 能直接阅读英语书籍、报刊杂志，从中获得必要的信息，对社会、经济、文化和科技的发展 都有着重要的作用。 职中学生可以有就业和升学双向选择，除了大部分学生就业之外，还有一部分学生准备考上 大学以便继续学得更多的本领，那么，针对这一群体，培养他们较高的英语阅读能力，就成 为了英语教学中极为重要的部分。从近几年高考英语试题中可以看出，阅读的比分逐渐增大，阅读份量也逐年加重，阅读材料也逐年变难。正如英语教学大纲所要求的：在英语教学中，听、说、读、写要进行综合训练，在进一步提高听说能力的同时，侧重培养学生的阅读理解 能力。可见，阅读能力的培养是整个中学阶段教学的重点。 为了培养和指导学生掌握正确的英语阅读方法，提高阅读能力，笔者从以下几个方面来加大 力度对职中学生进行英语教学，具体方法如下： 一、利用课文教学，培养学生的阅读兴趣，提高学生的阅读能力。 由于学生基础差，我们必须狠抓课本的教学。职中的英语课本起点较低，比起普高的教材是 容易多了，但很多同学就是连课本也读不懂。课文有连贯的语言，并有明显的情景、情节、 词汇、语法等知识。笔者在授课时向学生明确提出读懂课文的标准是：不一定要正确读出每 个单词的读音，但必须能正确理解该课文的大概意思。并向学生表明，读懂课文应是他们每 天必做的功课。进行课文教学，首先要把课文作为一篇阅读材料，让学生自己阅读，从整体 去理解课文内容，而不是局部地学习和思考，只有这样，才有利于学生的智力发展和阅读能 力的提高。长期以来，由于受教材的限制，特别是受多年的传统教学方法的束缚，对待知识 与能力的关系处理不当。许多教师把阅读课作为教授语法句型的途径，教师讲得过多，学生 思维太少，抑制学生的主观能动性，忽视了学生阅读技能的培养。长此下去，学生的阅读兴 趣就难以得到培养，阅读能力就更难得到提高。教学实践表明：学生对学习有了浓厚的兴趣，才有积极的探索、敏锐的观察、牢固的记忆、丰富的想象和创造性的运用，并从中体会到学 习乐趣。结合目前国内的教学环境及职中学生的特点，我认为在课文教学中采用“提问—阅读—思考—复述—巩固”五步法，对学生的阅读能力的提高是较有帮助的。 “五步”阅读法体现在教学中以教师为指导，以学生为主体的教学原则。通过这几个步骤的教 与学，改变了学生被动地接受知识和依赖老师的现象，激发学生的学习积极性，从而提高阅 读能力。 二、利用课外读物来帮助学生提高阅读兴趣，培养阅读能力。 在英语教学中，仅以课文为材料来提高阅读能力是有限的，加上现行的课文教学篇目少，且 阅读课教学担负着语言知识教学的任务，课文生词较多，不适用于流畅阅读的训练。那么， 我们必须要求学生多阅读课外读物，用来弥补课本上面阅读教材的不足。那么到底课外读物 是些什么读物？哪些课外读物适合职中的学生的阅读水平和阅读能力？这就要求教师能给学 生正确的指导或指点。因此教师应帮他们精心选择课外阅读材料，如名人轶事、历史故事、 民间故事、幽默小品、日常生活、科普文章等思想性强、趣味性强的阅读材料。也可充分利 用与教科书系列配套的《同步阅读训练》作为参考，还可以帮助他们介绍一些简易的英汉对 照读物，如“书虫”系列等。这样，让他们从较短的读物开始，逐渐过渡到较长的文章，从较 容易的读物开始逐渐过渡到难度较大的文章。日复一日，每天坚持阅读，他们的阅读兴趣自 然就会得以提高，阅读能力也就自然增强。不管他们是技能班的学生还是高考班的学生，只 要持之以恒，广泛的阅读，就有利于他们扩大词汇量、丰富语言知识、开阔视野、开拓思路，更有利于他们了解英、美等国的文化背景，社会风俗习惯及英语特有的语言表达方式，从而 提高阅读能力。
