Passage One

In the Middle Ages, St. Nicholas was everyone?s favorite saint. He was patron saint of all kinds of people,including merchants,sailor and small boys. Few facts are known about Nicholas, who was bishop of Myra, in Asia Minor, during the fourth century, but there are some very-fetched legends about him. This one , the

best knowing of all,may be true.

In Nicholas?s hometown, it is said, lived a fam ily so poor that the father could not afford dowries for his three daughters. Nicholas determined to rescue them from starvation and distress,but without making his generosity known. So, when the eldest daughter was old enough to marry, he dropped a bad of gold in at her window at night.(Some say he dropped it down the chimney, where it fell into the shoe or stocking she had left on the hearth to keep warm. And that?s why children hang up their stocking or leave a shoe ready for presents.) Nicholas did the same for the second and third daughters, but on the last occasion he was discovered by the grateful father. Nicholas swore him to secrecy. And that is why in some countries today, presents are given, especially to the children on 5 Decemeber, which is S t. Nicholas? eve.

_______.

A. that we can hardly believe

Passage Two

The English language reflects the history of the people who have spoken it. The early Celts, who inhabited most of England before Anglo-Saxons came, left a small heritage of words in English. The Romans, who abandoned Britain about 410 A.D. after hundreds of years of occupation, had a more lasting influence on the language.

Actually, Latin, the language spoken by the Romans, entered English at many different times. It arrived with the early Roman conquerors. It came with missionaries who introduced Christianity to Britain. It flourished during the revival of learning called the “Renaissance”,as scholars coined new words for new products and new processes. Greek, like Latin, has been enriching English since early times.

After the Romans left, the island was successfully invaded many times by tribes from Northern Europe. Two of these tribes, the Angles and the Saxons, drove the Celts westward and established the basic English language as we know it. The Danes came and added their store of words. After Norman Conquest in 1066, the vocabulary was almost doubled. Then French words, based originally upon Latin ,shared the stage with Anglo-Saxon words. Frequently both words remained and acquired different uses-like pork and pig.

English has continued to grow, adding new words as it added new experiences. Contacts with Dutch seamen, for example, brought new sailing terms like skipper and sloop into the language. Spanish, Arabic, Malayan, and Janpanese-these and many other languages have added words for our use.

5. The English language reflects the history of the people_______

A. who have written it

B. who have spoken it

C. who have learn it

D.who have written created it

6.When did Latin, the language spoken by the Romans, actually enter English?

A. At many different times.

B. At the time when the early Roman conquerors came.

C. At the time when missionaries introduced Christianity to Britain.

D. At the time when the Renaissance appeared in Europe.

7. When established the basic English language as we know it?

A. The Anglos and the Saxons

B. The Romans

C. Celts

D. The Danes

8. At that time, French words shared the stage with Anglo-Saxon words. The expression “shared the stage with” could most suitably be replaced by_________.

A. played as an important role as

B. acted on the same stage as

C. had the same stage as

D. were used as much as

9. English has continued to grow________.

A.adding new words as it added new adventures.

B. coining new words for new ideas.

C. introducing new words into any other language.

D. adding new words as it added new experiences.

Passage Three

Passen Sie auf!

This little expression from German may mean very little to you. But if you were about to sleep out on the street and someone excitedly shouted this to you, you?d st op immediatedly. You would re-act, not to the meaning of the words but to the urgency in his voice, Passen Sie auf means something like “watch out!” in the situation just described, however, the meaning would come through in any street in the world.

Many linguists believe that a language of feeling preceded a language of ideas. Before people attached specific meanings to words, they probably had emotional cries that were perfectly understandable. Just as you learn to understand the language of facial expressions and gestures, so you learn to

understand the language of tone and feeling.

A dog who lies down at a certain command may lie down if the command is worded differently but delivered in exactly the same tone. It is reacting to the nonverbal part-the tone-of the massage.

Children ,too, learn early this nonverbal language.They enjoy the parents?s soft voice and may cry at a harsh tone. They make their own wants known long before they know specific words.

This special kind of language without words is sometimes called “presymbolic”, that is, it

probably came into exsitence before the use of words. Much language is really presymbolic. When you cry out to a friend, “Hi!”you are really not asking, “How are you?” You are merely making a sound of reco gnition and pleasure. The importance is not in the communication of an idea but in the communication of a feeling. Much “small talk” resembles presymbolic language. The speakers are not usually too much interested in the content of so much talk. They enjoy making contact with another person.

10. What can we conclude from the situation described in Para.1 and Para.2?

A. A language of ideas came long before a language of feeling.

B. A language of feeling came long before a language of ideas.

C. Before they put specific meaning to words, people probably had emotional cries.

D. Before they had emotional cries, people probably put specific meaning to words.

11. It can be learnt from the passage that children learn________.

A. the nonverbal language much earlier than they know specific words.

B. the parents? soft voice much easier than their harsh tone.

C. how to make their own want as they were born.

D. how to react to the language of feeling as the grow.

12.What does the word …presymbolic” mean?

A.Someting that came into use before symbols were created.

B.A special kind of language withour before.

C.Someting that came into existence before the use of words.

D.Someting that is verbal.

13.Which of the following is TRUE from the passage?

A.All the languages in the world are nonverbal.

B.The verbal language is more important than the nonverbal language.

C.Much language is really presymbolic.

D.People learn to understand not only the language of facial expressions and gestures but the langugae of tone and feelings as well.

14.What could be the BEST title for this passage?

A.The Symbolic Language

B.The Language of Ideas.

C.The Verbal Language.

D.The Language of Feeling.

Passage Four

One argument used to support the idea that employment will continue to be the dominant form of work, and that employment willl eventually become available for all who want it,is that working time will continue to fall.People in jobs will work fewer hours in the day,fewer days in the week,few weeks in the year, and fewer years in a lifetime, than they do now.This will mean that more jobs will be available for more people,This, it is said, is the way should set about restoring full emmployment.

There is no doubt that something of this kind will hanppen. The shorter working week,longer holidays,earier retirement,job-sharing-these and other ways of reducing the amount of time pepole spend on their jobs-are certainly likely to spread. A mix of pait-time paid work and part-time unpaid work is likey to become a much more common work pattren than today, and a fleexi-life patten of working-invlving paid employment at certain stages of life,but not at others-will become widespread.But it is surely unrealistic to assume that this will make it possible to resotre full employment as the dominant form of work.

In the first place, so long as employment remains the overwhelmingly important form of work and source of income for most people that it is today,it is very diffucult to see how reductions employee? working time can take pla ce on a scale sufficiently large and at a pace suffuciently fast to make it possible to share out the available paid employment to everyone who wants is .Such negotiations as there have recently bee,for example in Britain and Germany, about the possibility of introducing a 35-hour working week,have highlighted some of the difficulties. But, secondly,if changes of this kind were to take place at a pace and on a scale sufficient to make it possible to share employment among all who wanted it ,the resulting situation-in which most people would not be working in their jobs for more than three short days a week-could hardly continue to be one in which employment was still regasded as the only turely valid form of work.There would be so many people spending so much of their time on other activities,including other forms of useful work, that the primac of employment would be bound to callde into question, at least to some least.

15.The author uses the negotiation in Britian and Gremany as an example to

A. Supp ort reductions in employee?s working time

B.indiacates employees are unwilling to share jobs

C.prove the possibility of sharing paid employment

D.show that employment will lose dominance

16.At the end of the passage the author seems to imply that as a result of shorter working time

A.employment may not retain its ususl importance

B.employment may not be reagsaded as valid work

C.people can be engaged in far less unpaid work

D.people can be engaged in fai more unpaid work

17.The author?s attitide towa rds future full employment is generally

A.supportive

B.wavering

C.skeptical

D.unclear

Passage Five

During the early stages of the Industrial Revolution,advertising was a relatively srtiaightforward means of announcement and communication and was used mainly to promote novelties and finge products,But when factory production got into full swing and new products ,r.g.processed foods,came onto to the market,natioal advertising campaigns and brand-naming of products became necessary.Before large-scale factory production,the typical manufacturing unit had been small and adaptable and the task of distributing and selling goods had largely been undertaken by wholesales.The small non-specialized factory which did not rely on massive investment in machinery had been flexible enough to adapt its production according to changes in public damends.

Put the economic depression which lasted from1873to 1894 marked a turing point between the old method of industrial organization and distribution and the new. From the beginning of the nineteenth century until the 1870s,productions had steadily expanded and there had been a corresponding growth int retail outlets.But the depression brought on a crisis of over-production and under-consumption-manufacture goods piled up unsold and prices and profits fell.Towards the end of the century many of the small industrial firms realizd that they would be in a better position to weathe economic depressions and slumps if they combined with other small business and widend the range of goods they proudced so that all their eggs were not in one basket.They also realized that they would have to take steps to ensure that once their goods had been produced there was a marker for them.This period ushered in the first phase of what economics no w all “monopoly capitalism”,which, roughly speaking, refers to the control of the market by a small number of giant,conglomerate enterprises.Whereas previously the larger manufacturing units and combins ralied more and more on mass adverting to promote their new range of products.

A good example of the changes that occurred in manufacture and distribution at the turn of the century can be found in the soup trade.From about the 1850s the marker had been flooded with anonymous bars of soap,produced by hundreds of small manufactres and distributed by wholesales and door-to-door https://www.doczj.com/doc/db4639123.html,petion grew steadily throughout the latter half of the century and eventually the leading compains embarked on more aggressive selling methods in order to take customers away from their rivals.For instance,the future Lord Leverhulme decided to “brand”his soap by selling it in distinctive packeages in order to facilitate recongnition and encourage customer layalty.

Lord Leverhulme was one of the first industialists to realzie the adertisements should contain”logical and considered” arguments as well as eye-catching and witty slogans .Many advertisers followed his lead and started to include “reason-why”copy in their ads.For example,one contemporary Pears soap as went into great detail about how the product could enhance marital bliss by cutiing down the time the wife had-to

spend with her arms in a bowl of frothy suds.And an ad for Cadbury?s cocoa not only

Proclamined its purity but also detailed other benefits:”for the ianfant it i s a delight and a support: for the young girl,a source of health viogor;for the young miss in her teens a valuable aid to development……”and so on .As the writer E.S Turner rightly pointd out,the advertising of this period had reached the “stage of persuasi on as distinct from proclamation or iteration” .Indeed advertise or bust seemed to be the rule of the day as bigger and more expensive campagins were mounted and smaller firms whou didi not, or could not,advertise,were squeezed or bought out by the larger compaines.

18.An example of a producu which might well have been advertised during the early stages fo the Industrial Revolution is

A. a cooking utensil

B. a new child?s toy

C.tinned fruit

D.household soap

19.One of the more aggrassive selling methods in the soap trade by the leading compaines was to

The structure of the family, which is a basic unit of the society, changes along with the development of the society. In China?s feudal society which lasted several thouand years, a self-sufficient small peasant economy predominated. The family was not only the basic unit in everyday life but also a basic unit of production. Dring the last hundred years, great changes have taken place in China. The Chinese society, which had gone through the long feudal period, and later the semi-colonial, semi-feudal period, had turned into a socialist society. This historic change has led to changes in the Chinese family strcture. Large families began to divide into smaller extended families and stem families, with the trend pointing toward the emergence of more and more nuclear families.

Part 4 Reading conprehensing

Passage one

In the United States, it is not customary to telephone someone very early in the morning. If you telephone him early in the day, while he is shaving or having breakfast, the time of the call shows that the matter is very important and requires immediate attention. The same meaning is attached to telephone calls made after 11:00 p.m. If someone receives a call during sleeping hours, he assumes it?s a matter of life or death. The time chosen for the call communicates its importance.

In social life, the time plays a very important part. In the U.S.A. guess tend to feel they are not highly regarded if the invitation to a dinner party is extended only three or four days before the party date. But it is not true in all countries. In other areas of the world, it may be considered foolish to make an appointment too far in advance because plans which are made for a date more than a week away tend to be forgotten. The meaning of time differs in different parts of the world. Thus, misunderstandings arise between people from cultures that treat time differently. Promptness is valued highly in American life, for example. If people are not prompt, they may be regarded as impolite or not fully responsible. In the U.S.A no one would think of keeping a business associate waiting for an

hour, it would be too impolite. A person who is 5 minutes late, he will say a few words of explanation, though perhaps he will not complete the sentence.

31.The main purpose of the first paragraph is that .

A. time is very important to everyone

B. different timing can make different meaning in communication

C. one should not choose the very early and late time to phone

D. telephoning time can show the caller?s respect for others

32.Supposing one wants to make a telephone call at dawn, this would mean .

A. it is a matter of life and death

B. the matter is not very important

C. the matter is somewhat important

D. the matter requires little attention

33.Accordig to this passage, time plays an important role in .

A. political life

B. private life

C. school life

D. communications

34.The best title for this passage would be .

A. the voices of time

B. the noises of time

C. the important of an announcement

D. time and tide wait for no man

Passage Two

Taste is such a subjective matter that we don?t usually conduct preference tests for food. The most you can say about anyone?s preference is that it?s one person?s opinion. But because the two big cola companies---Coca-Cola and Pepsi Cola are marketed so aggressively, we?ve wondered how big a role taste preference plays in brand loyalty. We set up a taste test that challenged people who identified themselves as either Coca-Cola or Pepsi fans: Find your brand in a blind tasting.

We invited staff volunteers who had a strong liking for either Coca-Cola

Classic or Pepsi, Diet Coke, or Diet Pepsi. These were people who thought they?d have no trouble telling their brand from the other brand.

We eventually located 19 regular cola drinkers and 27 diet cola drinkers. Then we fed them four unidentified samples of cola one at a time, regular colas for the one group, diet versions for the other. We asked them to tell us whether each sample was Coke or Pepsi; then we analyzed the records statistically to compare the participants choices with what mere guess-work could have accomplished.

Getting all four samples right was a tough test, but not too tough, we thought, for people who believed their brand of choice in all four trails. The diet-cola drinkers did a little worse-only 7 to 27 identified all four samples correctly.

While both groups did better than chance would predict, nearly half the participants in each group made the wrong choice two or more times. Two people got all four samples wrong. Overall, half the participants did about as well on the last round of tasting as on the first, so fatigue, or taste burnout, was not a factor. Our preference test result suggests that only a few Pepsi participants and Coke fans may really be able to tell their favorite brand by and price.

35.It is implied in the paragraph that .

A. blind tasting is necessary for identifying fans

B. the purpose of taste tests is to promote the sale of colas

C. the competition between the two colas is very strong

D. the improvement of quality is the chief concern of the two cola companies

36.The statistics recorded in the preference tests show .

Passage Three

Earlier this year, I visited a teenage drug-treatment center in the Midwest. It was my 20th visit to such a place and I thought I had heard everything about drug abuse?s terrible effects. Well, I hadn?t.

I met a pretty 11-year-old child who had recently completed treatment. I asked her when she began using drugs, and she replied, “I was two months old.” Her parents had put alcohol and drugs in her baby bottle to keep her quiet! By age six she was smoking marijuana, and by age ten she had resorted to prostitution to support to support her habit.

Never in my life have I felt so compelled to do something. If we don?t take action right now, we risk losing an generation of our children.

Our top priority should be prevention, and the closest thing we can do at present is parent groups. That?s why, last November, I became involved with the television project called “The Chemical People,” a Public Broadcasting Service program aimed at helping communities organize against drug and alcohol abuse. Nearly 11000 “town meeting” were set up by 35 voluntary organizations. Since then, at least 8000 of these meetings have grown into permanent anti-drug parent groups.

Reader’s Digest has been a leader in building awareness of the horrors of teenage drug and alcohol abuse. The numerous articles I have read in The Digest have provided me with a greater knowledge of the issue and have increased

readers? determination to fight back. Millions of reprints of these articles have been distributed as a public service. I salute Reader’s Digest for the spotlight it has played on one of our nation?s greatest problems.

The White House is committed to the drive against drugs. My husband?s concern is as strong as mine. But we can do it alone. We need dedicated, active people who will work together. Won?t you please join us and help save our children?

39.Why did the author think she had heard everything about drug abuse?s terrible effects?

A. Because she met a child who had recently completed treatment.

B. Because she had visited teenage drug-treatment center many times.

C. Because she became involved with the television project called “The Chemical People”.

D. Because she had read numerous articles in Reader’s Digest.

40.What is the main function of Reader’s Digest in the passage?

A. To print numerous articles for teenagers.

B. To build drug-treatment centers.

C. To solve the problem of teenage drug and alcohol abuse.

D. To raise public awareness of the severance of teenage drug and alcohol abuse.

41.According to the passage which of the following does nothing for fighting against teenage drug and alcohol abuse?

A. The Chemical People

B. Reader’s Digest

C. International Anti-drug Organization

D. White House

42.What is the best title for the passage?

A. To Save Our Children

B. Join the “town meeting”

C. Solutions to the Issue of Teenage Drug Abuse

D. How to Acquire Knowledge of Teenage Drug Abuse

英语试卷分析(共七篇)

三年级英语期末试卷分析 一、整体来看。 本次命题体现素质教育要求,加强考试内容与学生生活实际的联系,重视对学生运用所学的基础知识和技能的考查,有利于促进学生生动、活泼、主动地学习。试卷从教材教学要求和学生的实际水平出发,着重考查学生听力、理解、运用语言以及书写的能力,试题难易适度,题型灵活多样,符合新课标的要求。 二、试题的特点。 1、注重了基础知识的考查 试卷中能充分体现考查学生基础知识为主要目标的命题原则,坚持依据于课本,对于一些学生必须掌握的基础知识作为重点考查的内容。如:听力题的一题、二题、三题、五题;笔试题的一题、三题、四题,因为这些基础知识的掌握能更好地为今后的学习打下坚实的基础。 2、英语教学与学生的生活实际相联系 小学英语的教学内容贴近学生生活,本次测试试题内容同样体现了贴近学生生活的原则,侧重用已学过的英语知识解决实际问题,既源于课本,又高于课本,充分体现了素质教育的内涵,特别是笔试部分的二题中设计的仿例拼写地名,重视了对学生书写的能力,以及与语文学科的整合,对教师的教学及学生的后续学习都有一定的导向作用。 三、各大题的分析与探究。 1、听力部分 听力测试旨在考查学生听音、辨音及听力理解和快速反应能力。共六大块内容,分别为:一听音标号;二听音判断;三、听音连线;四、听音选择;五听音涂色;六、听音排序。其得分率为85%左右,失分较多的是第四大题题,失分的主要原因是录音不清晰。学生反映这一题的录音模糊不清。还有就是第四大题第四小题,文化部分内容,由于教师平时的教学不够重视导致部分学生没能较好完成选择。 2、笔试部分 笔试部分主要考查学生的语言基础知识和基本技能,包括字母、词、句的正确运用和读写能力的考查。共四大块内容,分别为:一、正确抄写下面字母。此题的得分率为90%。失分原因是部分学生书写印刷体。二、仿例拼写地名。此题的得分率是75%。部分学生拼音较差,不能拼出正确地名;大部分学生不了解书写地名的正确格式,如:开头第一个字母没大写;两个字空间空格等。学生平时没有接触过类似题型,教师也没有拓展,导致严重失分。三、看图选择正确的单词。此题的得分率为95%,学生整体完成情况较好,只是小部分学生将第六小题的hand选成head。四、连一连,此题的得分率是90%。 从整个笔试部分的分析来看,学生的基础知识与运用部分比期中要好,但普遍还存在着以下几方面的问题。1)学生掌握了基础知识,但还不能灵活运用。2)知识面狭窄,缺乏一定的生活常识。3)语言综合运用能力较差。以上这些还有待于在今后的教学中得到加强。 四、今后努力的方向 1、努力更新语言教学观念,以学生发展为主,注重学生听、说、读、写等各种能力的培养。 2、改革课堂教学模式,注重培养学生语言实践能力。在课堂教学中,尽量多给学生一些听、读和说的机会,让学生围绕所学内容,并给结合自己生活实际进行对话练习,将所学知识与学生日常生活融为一体,少一些机械记忆,多一些灵活运用。同时,课堂上尽量给学生创造一种宽松愉悦的学习氛围,利用游戏、对话表演等多种形式激发学生的学习兴趣,使学生感到学习英语既容易又有趣。

英语阅读理解试卷分析

英语阅读理解试卷分析 本次我们课题组收取了一个理科班和一个文科班学生的试卷,课题组成员有针对性的对这两个班学生的试卷进行分析和研究,发现了学生在做阅读理解时存在的一些问题,并也提出了解决方法。 一、存在问题 1﹑缺乏生活常识 现在有许多阅读文章与日常的生活有着密切的联系比如有一篇文章“A sign is another kind of language.”这类话题比较接近现实生活。 2﹑缺乏对东西方文化差异的了解 语言是一种特殊的社会文化现象它是人们在长期的社会生活实践中约定俗成的。每一种语言都是在特定的社会历史环境中产生和发展起来的因此每一种语言都反映出使用该语言的国家和民族在不同的社会历史时期所特有的文化现象。例如在一篇文章中有一个句子“You are indeed a lucky dog”如果按字面翻译成汉语就是“你真是一条幸运的狗。”这在汉语中完全是一句骂人的话。“狗”一词在中国人看来是贬义的如我们常说“癞皮狗”“狗崽子”“狗头军师”等等用来描绘所厌恶的人。可是在英语中这句话是说“你真是个幸运儿”。“狗”在这儿用来指人不但没有骂人的意思而且还表示一种亲昵的关系。在美国“狗”是家庭成员。人们认为它往往含有褒情善意。因此同一个词在不同的文化背景中意义不同。我们要想掌握和运用一门语言就必须了解并学习产生这门语言的社会背景文化否则就无法正确理解和运用这门语言。而在以往的外语教学中往往把主要精力

集中在语言知识的传授上而忽视了文化背景知识对语言的重要作用培养出来的大部分学生尽管掌握的词汇量很大语法知识也很好但却缺乏在不同的场合恰当地使用语言的能力有时运用母语的交际习惯来套用外语以至闹出笑话。 3﹑忽视阅读的时代特征 21世纪是信息高速时代对英语水平的要求越来越高。作为一名中学生适当的关心一下国家和国际的大事是非常必要的因为现在有不少的阅读文章和作文内容涉及当时正在发生的一些国内外大事。例如去年的很多试卷里出现的是北京奥运会和四川汶川大地震的话题,紧随时代。 4﹑缺乏猜词能力 阅读理解难度较高必须在有了充足的词汇的基础上才能进行阅读训练。它是检查学生英语学习水平的高低的重要标志。但是有部分学生缺乏根据上下文猜词的能力平时在阅读时依赖字典一旦在考试时文章里出现大量生词就会慌了手脚。在阅读过程中遇到生词是不可避免的。如果一遇到生词就去查字典或跳过去不看都会影响对文章的理解。这样就要猜测生词的意思。不同的语境单词的意思也就不一样。所以要根据上下文线索和构词法等知识去猜测。 5、缺乏阅读的推理技巧 有的同学还会经常碰到这样的问题文章本身对我来讲没有生词但做阅读理解题时经常会出现偏差。当然这种情况更多地是涉及到阅读理解的考试。说明学生在阅读过程中遇到了理解上的障碍因此在阅读理解中掌握一些推理技巧也是十分重要的。

初中英语期中考试试卷分析

初中英语期中考试试卷分析 目前我市使用了两个版本的初中英语教材:仁爱英语和新目标英语。仁爱英语命题的目的是了解学情;新目标英语命题的目的是进行教学质量调查。两者命题有一个共同点:实现新课程要求的三维目标,传道(情感、态度、价值观)、授业(引导学生掌握知识和技能)、解惑(引起主动学习,学会学习方法)。 一、试卷特点: 1.试卷注重基础,体现灵活运用,难度和区分度恰当无偏题、怪题出现。 试题注重考查学生在一定语境下对语言基础知识的掌握情况和综合运用英语的能力。语言基础知识的考查重点突出、覆盖面广;情景设置合理,避免了纯知识性的死记硬背题;词汇和语法的测试充分注意了语言的真实性、趣味性和实践性;注重语感,灵活性强,突出语言形式向语言意义的转化。 2.试题从知识立意逐渐向能力立意转变。 加大了能力考查的比重。试题突出了语言的交际性,强调在特定的语境中英语知识的灵活运用。适当增加了测试词汇量,加强能力检测。如阅读理解考查的内容注重了对学生在语境中运用语言能力的考查。加大了对语言的熟练程度和深层次能力考查的力度。如“阅读理解”部分注重了对归纳,推断和猜测整个句子等深层次能力的考查。阅读材料贴近生活,同时题材广泛,体裁多样、生动有趣,并富有思想性。淡化语法,强调能力。语法知识的测试充分注意了语言的真实性和实践性。纯知识性的试题的比例减少到最低限度,命题者通过设置不同的语境,把对语言知识的考查中心放到了根据上下文中和一定的语境中,让语法测试试题具有更积极和更现实的意义,能更多地体现语言的交际功能。 3.书面表达难度控制合理。 书面表达给学生留有充分发挥能力的空间,加大了考查学生综合运用语言能力的力度,使试卷更具现实性。书面表达题对初中英语教学有着良好的导向作用,要求学生要充分运用所学语言记录自己的真实情感,进一步体现了英语学科的交际性和工具性。 二、七年级英语试卷分析及教学建议 本次期中考试,七年级英语试卷题量适度、难易适宜,试题大部分都是基础题。从总体上说,试题出题范围很合适,适合七年级学情。对学生来说,只要细心,就会得高分。 第一题听力部分 本题满分为20分,得分率为60%,是本次考试失分最多的一道题,如听力IV,听对话,选答案,共5道小题,大部分学生只能做对一、两道题,究其原因,是学生听力训练少、考试经验不足所致。 第二题单项选择 本题共15分,得分率为86%。本题为基本题型,学生失分较少,不过,学生因语法知识欠缺,导致的问题还是显而易见的。如3. I am from Canada. ____ from the U.S.A. 学生知道应该填I am not,但试卷没有该选项,而是巧妙地提供了I’m not这个选项,学生不知道am和not没有缩写形式,大多选了B这个错误选项。5题中different后应跟名词复数这一点大部分学生也不知道。类似的语法点教师以后应该强调到。 第三题句型转换 本题共5分,学生平均只得了3分。问题多出在助动词do和does没有掌握好。 第四题补全对话 本题共10分,得分率在95%左右。这道题老师指导的不错,学生答的也不错。

For questions 1-7, choose the best answer from the four choices marked A),B),C) and D). For questions 8-10, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage. How Do You See Diversity? As a manager, Tiffany is responsible for interviewing applicants for some of the positions with her company .During one interview, she noticed that the candidate never made direct eye contact. She was puzzled and somewhat disappointed because she liked the individual otherwise. He had a perfect resume and gave good responses to her questions, but the fact that he never looked her in the eye said “untrustworthy,” so she decided to offer the job to her second choice. “It wasn’t until I attended a diversity workshop that I realized the person we passed over was the perfect person,” Tiffany confesses. What she hadn’t known at the time of the interview was that the candidate’s “different” behavior was simply a cultural misunderstanding . He was an Asian-American raised in a household where respect for those in authority was shown by averting(避开) your eyes. “I was just thrown off by the lack of ye contact; not realizing it was cultural,” Tiffany says. “I missed out ,but will not miss that opportunity again.” Many of us have had similar encounters with behaviors we perceive as different. As the world becomes smaller and our workplaces more diverse, it is becoming essential to expand our under-standing of others and to reexamine some of our false assumptions . Hire Advantage At a time when hiring qualified people is becoming more difficult ,employers who can eliminate invalid biases(偏爱) from the process have a distinct advantage .My company, Mindsets LLC ,helps organizations and individuals see their own blind spots . A real estate recruiter we worked with illustrates the positive difference such training can make .

大学英语期末考试试卷分析

《大学英语二》试卷分析 一、本试卷共包括七个部分: 1.V ocabulary and Structure 20% https://www.doczj.com/doc/db4639123.html,plete the dialogue 10% 3.Fill in the blanks with the words given 10% 4.Reading Comprehension 30% 5.Translation 15% 6.Writing 15% 试题体现了英语教学的思想和要求。主要表现在:1.注重语言基础知识的考查,强调语言知识运用,大部分题目都创设了比较完整或相对独立的语境。2.定位语篇,突出能力考查,阅读都能把理解文章的主旨大意,掌握文章的整体要领作为命题的基本内容,旨在考查学生分析和解决问题的能力。3.大多数试题结构合理,难易基本适中。大部分考点中要求考生不仅要了解字面意义,还要结合上下文语境、联系相互的文化背景进行思考。参加本次考试的共34个教学班,平均分为79分。 二、试卷分析 1. 单项填空题。本题注重语境和知识点的覆盖面,未超出考纲规定的范围,也体现了以考查动词为主的理念。包含了动词短语、非谓语动词、动词时态语态题;另外,也考查复合句,冠词等语法知识。此部分学生的掌握程度也不错。 2. 补全对话题。语境设计合理,切近生活,考查了学生的日常交际能力。有利于课程改革和英语教学。这部分题学生得分率较高。 3. 阅读理解得分率较高。说明学生能够依据文章内容,进行概括归纳和推理判断的能力比较高。能理解文章的深层意思,从文章的信息中推断出答案。 5. 选词填空。掌握的欠缺,说明学生对英语语言的实际应用还有待提高好。 6. 翻译和写作。书面表达以检测考生运用书面英语的书面输出能力为目的,话题十分贴近学生生活,具有很强的现代气息,失分主要原因是词汇知识掌握不牢固。表现如下: 1、对单词记忆不准,书写时出错。 2、不会变化词性。 3、大部分学生的单词拼写有误。 建议加强词汇记忆的同时一定要注意训练学生正确运用词汇的能力。 三、今后教学方面的建议 1、认真研究考试说明,明确并把握英语命题改革的方向;针对性训练新的题型。 2、加强基本功训练,尤其是要加强单词记忆策略和单词拼写能力的培养。 3、加强学生在语境中对语篇和语义的领悟能力,培养学生的判断推理能力及文章深层 含义的理解。 4、进一步加强写作训练,提高学生遣词造句、组句成篇的能力,从而提高考生的书面 表达能力。
