高三英语上学期期末工作总结 高三这一年，对老师和学生来说都是一次磨砺。作为一名高三的英语老师,我会感到肩上的担子更重，压力也更大。但同时自己心中也暗自下定决心，一定要很好的完成这一任务,不辜负学校领导对我的信任，不辜负学生家长对我的期待，更不能辜负学生对我的期望。这样就促使我们用更多的时间去学习、研究近几年的高考题型,以便能够更好地教授学生。 本学期，我担任了高三三和高三四两个普通班的英语教学工作。即将过去的这一学期,我扎扎实实，勤勤恳恳、尽职尽责,较好地完成了学校交给的教学工作任务。现简单总结如下： 在业务上,顺应我国教育改革的形势及高考的要求，不断学习，大胆创新,积极进取，从教育教学的各个环节努力提高自身素质,我做到下面几点: 一扎实开展常规教学，切实提高教学质量。 1、认真备好每一节课。高三第一学期我们学校启用了优化探究的基础知识的复习。我深入钻研教材,多方查阅参考资料,把手头的教材当成宝，吃透,并认真消化,同时把以前学过的相关的知识点和新的知识点串联起来，而且不时地与老教师进行相关的探讨,一方面以弥补自己教学经验不足的缺陷;另一方面让学生感受到教材的教授既能让他们学到新知识也能让他们对某些学过的知识得以巩固。我深知立足教材，夯实基础知识才是我们这样的学生的唯一途径。教学和复习都因该注重实效，实实在在地为学生服务。 2、努力上好每一堂课。我深知学生学习重在课堂，努力向４０分钟要效益,根据实际情况,充分调动学生的积极性。在教学过程中我本着“培养主体意识,强化课堂训练”的原则，积极做好学生的思想工作，提高学习的自觉性、积极性和主动性；帮学生树立信心。 ３、认真批改作业，并及时给学生反馈作业情况，对作业中出现的错误进行课堂集体订正并举一反三,效果不错,大大降低了以后犯同类错误的机率。课后及时与学生进行交流，了解学生的学习状况,时刻关注学生思想动态。根据高三学生思想状况复杂、压力大等状况,我努力创造机会,多和学生一起交流,帮他们排忧解难,使他们时刻都能保持较好的学习状态。 ４、在高三进行的各次月考、周考中，我都给学生进行详细的分析，分析错误,分析成绩，分析考试策略,分析解题技巧，使得她们都能越战越勇。 5、注重课后复习检测。复习、检测工作在教学中很重要，复习可“温故而知新”,检测则可及时了解学生对所学知识的掌握情况。本学期教学中,我除了要求学生在课后对前面所学知识进行经常性的复习外,在课堂教学中,也充分地利用一切可能的机会,尽量将前面所学知识结合起来对学生进行提问,帮助他们掌握前面所学知识。通过周检测、月考检测，对学生所学知识进行查漏补缺工作。 二、制定计划，加强复习的目标性。 １、夯实基础,发展能力。

哈32中2016～2017学年度上学期高三期末考试 英语试题 第一部分听力（共两节，满分30 分）（略） 第二部分阅读理解（共两节，满分40分） 第一节(共15题：每小题2分，满分30分) 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项写出。 A In his new show,Evan Ruggiero plays guitar,sings pop standards and shows everybody his fine footwork. What makes all of these especially unusual is that Ruggiero, 24, has only one leg. When he was a 19-year-old musical theater student at New Jersey’s Montclair State University, Ruggiero had a rare bone cancer in his right leg. Finally his leg would have to be amputated (截) below the knee. Such a setback could have easily ended the career of a less tough person,but Ruggiero,who has been dancing since he was five,now puts the experience into his performance. His show, “The One-Legged Song and Dance Man: Volume 3”,explains how he returned to dance just 18 months after the amputation. His dance now relies on the use of a peg leg(假肢) ,he explains. The secret to his surprising success, he says, was being a “stubborn”patient who refused to give up on his dance and performing studies, despite the advice of his doctor. “It was a real setback,but after it was all over,I said, ‘You know what? I need to pick up right where I left off and continue my career, ’”Ruggiero said. Ruggiero has come to view his peg leg as an instrument. “Tap dancers—they’re always calling themselves musicians, and their feet are their instrument, ” he said. Noting that many audience members will never have seen a one-legged dancer
