In Kansas City, Missouri, a computer helps fire-fighters. The computer contains information about every one of the 350,000 street addresses in the city. When fire-fighters answer a call, the computer will give them important information about the burning building: its position, size, type and so on. In fact, the computer system has almost unlimited ways of helping fire-fighters with the problems facing them. For instance, it can give medical information about invalids(病残者) living in a burning building. With this information, the fire-fighters can take special care to find these sick persons and remove them quickly and safely.
The Kansas City computer system also helps a medical record of each of the city’s 900 fire-fighters. This kind of information is specially useful when a fireman is injured. With this medical information, doctors at the hospital can treat the injured fire-fighters more quickly and easily.
The fire-fighters themselves greatly appreciate the computer’s help. They know about possible dangers ahead of them and can prepare for them. Many times the computer information helps to save lives and property(财产), sometimes the lives are those of fire-fighters themselves!

浅谈英语课外阅读的指导 五常市高级中学王晓丽高中英语大纲明确指出：“要提高学生阅读能力，单纯通过教科书中的课文教学是不够的，还要根据学生的具体情况，有计划地指导学生在课外阅读一定数量的读物。” 在教学实践中我体会到，学生优秀的习作几乎都是得益于课外阅读和对真实生活的体验。英语的学习单靠简单的记忆已不能取得高分了，更需要阅读能力的提高。要提高学生阅读能力，单纯通过教科书中的课文教学是不够的，还要根据学生的具体情况，有计划地指导学生在课外阅读一定数量的读物。阅读教学在我国外语教学中历来受到重视。 首先，合理选择材料：思想性强，内容健康；兴趣是成功的原动力，作为教材延伸形式出现的课外阅读，材料要多样化，要讲求趣味性。这就对我们外语教师提出了更高、更全面的要求。让学生独立阅读，但又不是“放羊式”的阅读，而是在教师有计划的指导下进行的课外阅读。 其次，精读和泛读结合：泛读广泛、大量、快速，故重点放在针对问题快速地捕捉信息上。快阅读，知大意；根据上下文猜测词义；根据构词法猜测词义；注意深层意思的理解；把理解题目作为提纲来读。 英语是实践性很强的课程，英语学习不能局限在小课堂里，构建课内外结合、校内外沟通的英语教育体系，创造一个广阔的英语学习空间。 1.《高中英语阅读训练》是一本很好的读物。题材较为广泛，如人物传记、寓言故事等。每单元编配三篇阅读训练材料，包括一篇快速阅读材料和两篇泛读材料，较长的分为上、下两篇。A篇为快速阅读，题材与课文基本相同，难度略低于课文，其目的是为了复习和巩固课堂上所学的语言知识，培养学生对阅读的兴趣，训练他们快速阅读的技能。因此，我在每上完一模块教材后就利用几分钟时间，安排学生当场独立完成（从高一到高二，从慢到快），并要求学生在阅读文章上面记录阅读的时间及正确理解率，以便学生以后检查自己的阅读理解率的提高情况。B、C两篇材料要求学生在课外完成，教师做不定期的检查。 2在课外阅读过程中，学生可以饶有兴趣地将课内所学的知识自然而然地迁移到课外阅读中。新颖丰富的课外阅读材料可以激发学生英语学习的兴趣和求

新课标下的高中英语课外阅读活动 瑞安隆山高级中学：项玲玲 【摘要】本文论述了新课程标准背景下开展高中英语课外阅读活动的必要性阅读材料选择的原则和范围、阅读活动的指导和管理以及课外阅读活动的模式。 【关键词】新课程标准，高中英语，阅读材料。 一、新课程标准下开展高中英语课外阅读的必要性。 《普通高中英语课程标准》（实验）（以下简称新课标）更加注重对学生综合语言能力的培养。新课标要求学生具备的综合阅读能力包括语篇领悟能力和语言解码能力；强调多学科知识的贯通；注重培养学生的语篇分析能力、判断能力和逻辑理解能力；要求学生提高阅读速度，增强阅读量和扩大记词汇量等。同时，新课标明确指出，除教材以外，高中英语阅读量六级23万词以下，八级应达到30万词以上。虽然英语实验教材在话题、语篇和词汇等方面都进行了改革，但仍然存在阅读量有限和题材单调等问题。为了实现新课标提出的阅读能力目标，教师应结合教材中课文的主题补充各类富有时代气息的课外阅读材料，指导学生进行大量的课外阅读。 在使用现行高中英语新教材的过程中，笔者所在学校进行了教学改革实验。笔者经过观察、与学生交流讨论，并通过问卷调查的方式对高二105名学生的英语课外阅读状况做了详细的调查和分析。调查结果显示：①有85％的被调查对象认为，课外阅读能提高语言复现率，可以促进对课文内容的学习和掌握，同时也可以培养学生的阅读理解能力。②有56％的被调查对象进行课外阅读的时间较少。③学生课外阅读材料的主要来源是报纸（英语周报或学英语报）。很多学生有目的地选择课外读物。课外阅读的首要目的要提高英语程度。④学生面临的主要问题是很难找到一些合适的阅读材料。⑤学生的英语成绩和在课外的阅读上所花费的时间呈正相关。⑥有60％的学生希望教师每周抽出一定的时间进行课外阅读指导或组织学生交流、讨论和展示。本文将介绍笔者所在学校开展课外阅读活动实践的一些思路和做法，以期与同行交流。 二、课外阅读材料的选择 1、课外阅读材料的选择原则 （1）发展性和拓展性 选择课外阅读材料要结合课内阅读内容，并作为其延伸，以弥补教材的不足，进而实现课内外知识的连接和扩展。在课外阅读过程中，学生可以将课内所学的知识迁移到课外阅读中。新颖且丰富的课外阅读材料可以激发生的兴趣和求知欲望，促使他们去探究和获取更多的新知识。所选择的课外阅读材料要有利于拓展思维和开阔其视野，要有利于培养学生的创新精神和阅读实践能力。 （2）趣味性
2011高考英语课外阅读材料 【每两天一篇—阅读+单词学习】 Unit One: How to Improve Your Study Habits TEXT Want to know how to improve your grades without having to spend more time studying? Sounds too good to be true? Well, read on... How to Improve Your Study Habits Perhaps you are an average student with average intelligence. You do well enough in school, but you probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessarily the case, however. You can receive better grades if you want to. Yes, even students of average intelligence can be top students without additional work. Here's how: 1. Plan your time carefully. Make a list of your weekly tasks. Then make a schedule or chart of your time. Fill in committed time such as eating, sleeping, meetings, classes, etc. Then decide on good, regular times for studying. Be sure to set aside enough time to complete your normal reading and work assignments. Of course, studying shouldn't occupy all of the free time on the schedule. It's important to set aside time for relaxation, hobbies, and entertainment as well. This weekly schedule may not solve all of your problems, but it will make you more aware of how you spend your time. Furthermore, it will enable you to plan your activities so that you have adequate time for both work and play. 2. Find a good place to study. Choose one place for your study area. It may be a desk or a chair at home or in the school library, but it should be comfortable, and it should not have distractions. When you begin to work, you should be able to concentrate on the subject. 3. Skim before you read. This means looking over a passage quickly before you begin to read it more carefully. As you preview the material, you get some idea of the content and how it is organized. Later when you begin to read you will recognize less important material and you may skip some of these portions. Skimming helps double your reading speed and improves your comprehension as well. 4. Make good use of your time in class. Listening to what the teacher says in class means less work later. Sit where you can see and hear well. Take notes to help you remember what the teacher says. 5. Study regularly. Go over your notes as soon as you can after class. Review important points mentioned in class as well as points you remain confused about. Read about these points in your textbook. If you know what the teacher will discuss the next day, skim and read that material too. This will help you understand the next class. If you review your notes and textbook regularly, the material will become more meaningful and you will remember it longer. Regular review leads to improved performance on test. 6. Develop a good attitude about tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. The world won't end if you don't pass a test, so don't worry excessively about a single test. Tests provide grades, but they also let you know what you need to spend more time studying, and they help make your knowledge permanent. There are other techniques that might help you with your studying. Only a few have been mentioned here. You will probably discover many others after you have tried these. Talk with your classmates about their study techniques. Share with them some of the techniques you have found
高中生英语阅读的现状、问题及对策(一) 【内容摘要】阅读在听、说、读、写四项技能中占有很重要的地位。通过问卷调查发现影响学生阅读水平的几个因素。并就此提出相应的对策。 【关键词】中学生英语阅读选材策略合作自主性 作为语言学习的主要输入方式，阅读在听、说、读、写四项技能中占有很重要的地位。它是人们获取信息，进行学习或娱乐的最基本途径。在国内外各种语言测试中，阅读所占的比例很大。阅读能力的高低是检验学习者语言水平的主要标准之一。如CET、TOEFL、PETS等。然而尽管当前国内外学者对阅读教学的研究成果日益增多，但无论是教师的努力还是学生的大量阅读练习都收效甚微。笔者在多年的实际教学中，发现阅读仍然是学生学习英语的一个薄弱环节。鉴于此现象，本人所在的高二年级英语教研组自2003年九月参加了教育部基础教育课程教材发展中心的基础教育英语教学评价实验项目，使用了《高中英语学习评价手册》(以下简称评价手册)编写组编写的阅读手册。希望多维、多元、多样的评价方式促进学生阅读能力的提高。至今已完成高一(上、下)，高二(上)共三册。经过一年半的实验，本人意在进行一个阶段性总结。并通过调查试图发现在阅读训练中存在的问题，以及使用此书的总体反馈，以此希望来探讨影响高中生有效地提高阅读水平的各种因素。同时，借助调查结果来更好地指导本人下一阶段的实验工作。 一、调查方法 1．调查对象： 本人执教的高二(6)班(理科)61人．(注：由于学校办学机制，原来班上成绩拔尖的学生已被滚动到实验班。又从别的班进了一些学生。因此本班的英语成绩突出的人较少，一般的人居多。) 2．调查手段： 采用问卷调查法。问卷由14个问题组成。其中第4、5、6、8小题可多选。这些问题大体可分为四个方面：阅读自主性、选材及题型设计、阅读策略、以及该调查所反映的问题。二．调查结果及分析 1．阅读自主性 英语教学自从在中学开展以来，由于语言学习环境的制约，主要教学形式为课堂教学。英语学习只是单一的知识与文化追求。这潜在地对学生的外语学习过程的促进作用作了极大的制约。整体而言，中国学生学习外语的整体性动机也不十分明确。或者说，学生对英语学习多元化的语用目的还没有一个充分的认识。英语学习只是为了应付考试。事实上，学习动机对于学习活动的开展十分重要。JeremyHarmer这样解释动机：“Motivationissomekindofinternaldrivethatencouragessomebodytopursueacourseofaction．”(Jere myHarmer，l983)学习动机可分为外在动机和内在动机。影响内在动机的因素包括身体条件、教师的教学方法及人格魅力和成功等。而影响外在动机的其中最重要的一条就是学生对目的语即英语的态度。而从本人进行的问卷调查可以明显看出：当被问及“你对阅读是否有兴趣”时，78.7％的学生的回答是“一般”，甚至有16.4％的学生对此不怎么感兴趣。在回答“除了老师布置的阅读任务外，还会找其他的材料进行阅读吗?”这个问题时，47.5％的学生选择了“不会”。这说明仍有近半的学生阅读主动性、自主性不够。因此，培养学生学习英语的综合性动机对于提高他们的阅读自主性至关重要。而如何在日常教学中体现这种认识也是笔者一直关心的一点。令笔者稍感欣慰的是，虽然学生没有较强的阅读兴趣，但每周仍有65.6％的人进行二至三次的自行阅读。尽管这只是学生的工具性动机(学好英语是进入理想大学的必备条件)的一种体现。 2．阅读的选材及题型设计 在英语教学中，需要考虑的其中最重要的一点就是材料的选择。提供给学生的阅读材料应该

The town is famous for a middle school that puts students through strict14-hour days in preparation for the exam,which is usually spread over two days. This year about9.4million students will appear,the Xinhua state news agency said,roughly the same number since2014and down from a peak of10.5million in2010.The fiercely competitive test is seen as a key to social mobility and the best chance for school leavers to land a white-collar job. Just40percent of students are expected to enrol in undergraduate degrees subsequently,however,Xinhua said,citing the 2017enrolment plan of the education ministry. But the exception is Maotanchang Middle School,whose website says80percent to90percent of its students have won college acceptances since2010. “My mother gave up her job and came here to keep me company,”said Xiang Licheng,a20-year-old who came to Maotanchang to prepare for a second attempt at the exam.He said the school had taught him endurance,among other life skills.“Every time I don’t feel like studying,I will not relax,as I see the hardship my mother goes through in caring for me,”Xiang said. Restaurant owner Zhang Xunze said he moved to Maotanchang three years ago so his son could attend the school.“We thought life was too boring and had nothing to do.So we gathered some money and started this restaurant,”said49-year-old Zhang,whose business is a short walk from the school gate. In the lead-up to the exams,students took part in incense-burning ceremonies to pray for good luck.They also released into the sky floating lanterns with“gaokao”messages.

It was pouring outside. The kind of rain that gushes over the top of rain gutters, so much in a hurry to hit the Earth, it has no time to flow down the spout. 她和妈妈刚在沃尔玛结束购物。这个天真的小女孩应该6岁大了，头发是 美丽的棕色，脸上有雀斑。外面下着倾盆大雨。雨水溢满了檐槽，来不及排走，就迫不及待地涌涨上地面。 We all stood there under the awning and just inside the door of the Wal-Mart. We all waited, some patiently, others irritated, because nature messed up their hurried day. I am always mesmerized by rainfall. I get lost in the sound and sight of the heavens w ashing away the dirt and dust of the world. Memories of running, splashing so carefree as a child come pouring in as a welcome reprieve from the worries of my day. 我们都站在沃尔玛门口的遮篷下。大家都在等待，有人很耐心，有人很烦 躁，因为老天在给他们本已忙碌的一天添乱。雨天总引起我的遐思。我出神地 听着、看着老天冲刷洗涤这世界的污垢和尘埃，孩时无忧无虑地在雨中奔跑玩 水的记忆汹涌而至，暂时缓解了我一天的焦虑。 Her voice was so sweet as it broke the hypnotic trance we were all caught in, "Mom, let's run through the rain." she said. 小女孩甜美的声音打破了这令人昏昏欲睡的气氛，“妈妈，我们在雨里跑吧。”她说。 "What?"

Mom replied. “不，亲爱的，我们等雨小一点再走。”母亲回答说。 This young child waited about another minute and repeated: "Mom, let's run through the rain." 过了一会小女孩又说：“妈妈，我们跑出去吧。” "We'll get soaked if we do." Mom said. “这样的话我们会湿透的。”母亲说。 "No, we won't, Mom. That's not what you said this morning," the young girl said as she tugged at her Mom's arm."
浅谈高中英语课外阅读中存在的问题和对策 发表时间：2013-07-15T08:28:19.123Z 来源：《教育与发展》2013年第5期供稿作者：杜延清 [导读] 高中学生获取知识的主要途径离不开阅读，阅读无论是对自己的心灵，还是提高自身素质都有重大作用。 陕西省神木县第七中学杜延清 摘要：高中学生获取知识的主要途径离不开阅读，阅读无论是对自己的心灵，还是提高自身素质都有重大作用。英语课外阅读也一样，它可以拓展学生的视野，对学生自身的成长也不可小视。本文通过调查高中生英语课外阅读存在的主要问题，分析其成因并提出改进措施。关键词：高中学生英语课外阅读拓展视野 一、阅读的含义 阅读是一种从印的和写的语言符号中取得意义的心理过程。阅读也是一种基本智力技能，这种技能是取得学业成功的先决条件，是由一系列的行为和过程构成的总合。阅读是语言和思维相互作用的一种复杂的智力活动，由此获得重要信息，从而提高认识世界、改造世界的能力。由此可以看出，阅读是一种复杂的语言认知活动，也是一种复杂的心智和情感活动。许多观点都印证了多数英语学习者的尝试和经验：没有阅读，英语学习寸步难行；有了阅读，英语学习节节提高；阅读越少，进步越慢；阅读越多，进步越快。对于多数中国英语学习者来说，阅读是决定英语学习成败的关键。 二、课外阅读存在的主要问题 1.阅读取向不合理。 调查中发现相当一部分学生在课外阅读的认识上存在一定的误区，认为课外阅读对提高成绩没有明显的帮助，甚至认为会耽误文化课的学习，很多学生因此认为没有必要购买阅读课外读物，即使购买，也只是一些与考试有关的辅导资料、参考书或试题集锦等。 2.阅读目标不明确。 调查统计：90%的高中生认为应该有课外阅读，66.72%的学生喜欢课外阅读，70%的同学认为课外阅读对学习有帮助，而能真正明确阅读目的的学生只有10%左右。一般来说，他们看课外书随意性大，阅读从很大程度上讲是对时尚的一种盲从。有的“想看啥，就看啥，和学习无关。”有的说“腻了课本，找课外书调剂。” 3.阅读策略不科学。 在阅读方法上，不少学生毫无策略可言。在阅读中不能合理有效地运用精读、泛读、快读、慢读等方法，不动笔，不作笔记，不进行有意识的搜集、整理、消化，囫囵吞枣，不求甚解。 三、形成的原因 调查认为，目前相当一部分高中生不喜欢、甚至排斥课外阅读，大致与以下因素有关： 1.视听文化的冲击。 和广播、电视、网络等可以直接将信息作用于视听感官相比，书籍阅读就显得较为枯燥，人们不再也不愿花时间从书籍中获取信息，一定程度上造成了大众阅读的缺失。 2.老师和家长的干涉。 许多家长都渴望子女将来能上大学，希望孩子“念学校里的书”。每当孩子在课余时间读课外书时，他们就会阻止。据统计：不干涉孩子阅读课外书的家长仅占8%，反对孩子阅读任何课外书的家长占33%。更有甚者不分青红皂白把所有的课外书都称为“闲书”。这使得学生的读书热情不但未受到保护，反而遭到压抑甚至扼杀。 3.阅读条件的制约。 调查显示，学生课外阅读的第一黄金时间是寒暑假，首选者占48.9%；第一地点是家里，占78.2%；仅有14.9%的学生把学校图书馆作为阅读课外书籍的主要来源。理应是学生阅读的神圣殿堂的学校图书馆、阅览室，在广大学生心目中却几乎没有位置。 4.应试教育的误导。 开展课外阅读活动是一项重在提高学生素质的教学措施。受应试教育的影响，目前许多学校评价教师教学优劣还常以升学率为唯一的依据，大多数教师追求的是“短期效益”，只重视课堂教学，忽视阅读。 四、改进措施 1.明确课外阅读的重要意义。 大力宣传、普及对优秀书籍的阅读，激发学生的阅读兴趣。学生长期只重课内学习而忽略课外阅读，为此，教师上课时应设法吸引学生，或旁征博引，或谈古论今，潜移默化地感染学生，让学生了解课外阅读的重要性，逐渐培养阅读兴趣。 2.推荐有益读物，提高阅读品位。 在课外阅读初期，学生大都有随意性和消遣性的阅读习惯，且贪多而不求甚解。教师不仅要引导他们多读书，而且要读好书。 3.提示阅读方法，做好读书笔记。 除了常用的泛读、略读、跳读、精读、细读、熟读成诵等方法外，还可以介绍其他的方法。要教育边读边思考、重感悟、重积淀、批判地吸收。做读书笔记的方法如圈点批注法、分门摘录法、提纲挈领法、写心得体会法等。 4.开展丰富多彩的活动，巩固阅读成果。 为巩固和扩大阅读成果，教师应有计划组织一些活动来加以促进，如举行阅读、朗读、演讲比赛，这样能增强学生的参与意识，有效促进课外阅读活动。 5.家庭和社会各界应为学生营造良好的阅读环境。 家长们应该意识到：“有爱看书的父母，才有爱看书的孩子。”因此，作为孩子第一位老师的家长应该作出表率，自己多读书，也支持孩子读书。工作之余可以和孩子一起去书店、图书馆或在家中交流阅读经验和体会，从而营造出良好的家庭阅读氛围。其次，新闻出版部门应规范、净化课外读物市场，为学生提供更多积极，健康的书籍。再次，公共文化机构如城市图书馆、社区或村镇图书室应积极向青少年学生开放，降低其阅读门槛，这也有助于其良好阅读习惯的培养。 可见，阅读是一个人做任何事情的基础，学生必须凭借书籍不断充实自己，长大后才能稳定地立足于社会。因此，作为教师，应努力
新课标下农村高中英语阅读能力的培养 摘要：《高中英语新课程标准》明确要求：高中英语教学应“侧重培养学生阅读能力”。因此，阅读理解在高中英语学习中占据着重要地位。目前，《课标》对阅读理解教学和检测提出了更新更高的要求，如何培养学生英语阅读能力是一个当务之急的课题。英语课程标准目标要求能读懂简单读物和报刊、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。但由于农村中学学生使用英语环境面狭小，学生手头资料少、课外补充阅读少，学生的阅读能力还有很大的欠缺。本文就我所处的农村中学英语阅读教学所面临的困难做了细致的分析，找出合适的对策予以解决，并指出了掌握科学的阅读技巧和阅读方法是提高英语学习水平的重要手段。 关键词：农村中学阅读能力阅读方法能力培养 一、现状与影响学生阅读能力的因素 农村中学较之城市中学在资源配置上差距很大。城市学校设施齐全、资料丰富、师资强，而农村学校在各条件上正相反，不要说语音室，就连资料都不齐全，教材也有城市化倾向，总体讲是起点高、难度大、内容多，农村中学师生均不能很好适应。其次，在生源上，以我校为例，学生高一年的录取成绩是整个福清地区最后几名，很多学生在初中时的英语基础就很差，对英语的兴趣不高，尤其是在阅读方面，进入高中，随着难度的加大，学生的兴趣也在慢慢呈下滑趋势。本人对进行英语学习和教学活动的学生和教师进行了调查，结果反映出影响农村英语阅读的因素
学生本身的语言认知水平、智力水平、生理发展水平、心理因素等一般因素外，影响农村中学英语阅读教学的相关因素还有以下方面： 1、语言基础知识对阅读理解的影响 目前农村中学学生接触的英语材料大都只有课本及练习，英语阅读课在很大程度上还停留在以文章作为实体而非载体的基础上，通过阅读材料传授语音、词汇、语法等语言知识，忽视了培养学生运用科学的阅读策略和方法去获取信息的能力，忽视了语言运用能力的真正养成，学生独立学习能力相当有限。新课程强调从学生的学习兴趣、生活经验和认识水平出发，倡导体验、实践、参与、合作与交流的学习方式和任务新的教学途径，发展学生的综合语言运用能力，使语言学习的过程成为学生形成积极的情感态度、主动思维和大胆实践，提高跨文化意识和形成自主学习能力的过程要提高阅读的理解能力，丰富的词汇，扎实的语法知识和熟练的习语等对学生来说都是至关重要的。 （1）词汇量 影响学生阅读的第一关是词汇量。一个人掌握的词汇越多阅读时所遇到的障碍越小；反之，掌握的词汇少，容易曲解其含义，误解整个句子，甚至整篇文章。扩大词汇量的方法有多种。如：注重学习与积累，我们知道词汇的积累是一个循序渐进的过程，掌握科学的记忆方法，多看多读，积少成多；掌握构词法，通过词的合成，转化，派生来记忆单词，不仅能扩大词汇量，而且有助于记忆如；通过近义词，反义词等联想对比法以及对于熟词偏义，具有特殊意义的词加以记忆
