高中英语议论文带答案版1GOING TO UNIVERSITY is supposed to be a mind-broadening experience. That statement is probably made in comparison to training for work straight after school, which might not be so encouraging. But is it actually true? Jessika Golle of the University of Tubingen, in Germany, thought she would try to find out. Her result, however, is not quite what might be expected. As she reports in Psychological Science this week, she found that those who have been to university do indeed seem to leave with broader and more inquiring minds than those who have spent their immediate post-school years in vocational(职业的) training for work. However, it was not the case that university broadened minds. Rather, work seemed to narrow them.Dr. Golle came to this conclusion after she and a team of colleagues studied the early careers of 2,095 German youngsters. The team used two standardized tests to assess their volunteers. One was of personality traits, including openness, conscientiousness(认真) and so on. The other was of attitudes, such as realistic, investigative and enterprising. They administered both tests twice--- once towards the end of each volunteer’ time at school, and then again six years later. Of the original group, 382 were on the intermediate track, from which there was a choice between the academic and vocational routes, and it was on these that the researchers focused. University beckoned for 212 of them. The remaining 170 chose vocational training and a job.When it came to the second round of tests, Dr. Golle found that the personalities of those who had gone to university had not changed significantly. Those who had undergone vocational training and then got jobs were not that much changed in personality, either--- except in one crucial respect. They had become more conscientious.That sounds like a good thing, certainly compared with the common public image of undergraduates as a bunch of lazybones. But changes in attitude that the researchers recorded were rather worrying. In the university group, again, none were detectable. But those who had chosen the vocational route showed marked drops in interest in tasks that are investigative and enterprising in nature. And that might restrict their choice of careers.Some investigative and enterprising jobs, such as scientific research, are, indeed beyond the degreeless. But many, particularly in Germany, with its tradition of vocational training, are not. The researchers mention, for example, computer programmers and finance-sector workers as careers requiring these traits. If Dr. Golle is correct, and changes in attitude brought about by the very training Germany prides itself on are narrowing people’s choices, that is indeed a matter worthy of serious consideration.1.Which if the following can best replace “beckoned for” in paragraph 2?A. ExaminedB. AttractedC. OrganizedD. Recognized2.What can we learn from the research?A. The degreeless have not changed in personalities.B. Going to university is a mind-broadening experience.C. Working straight after school narrows people’s minds.D. College students pride themselves on their education.3. According to the last two paragraphs,____________.A. college students enjoy a very good public image.B. the undergraduates have changed significantly in attitudeC. the degreeless are much better at dealing with challenging tasks.D. people show less interest in investigative jobs due to vocational training.4.What is the author’s attitude towards the finding?A. ConcernedB. OptimisticC. UnclearD. Doubtful答案:B C D A2Every year, thousands of new high school graduates pack their bags, move to new cities, and sign papers accepting loans, the money borrowed from a bank or lenders etc, which they might not be able to pay back. Without proper education on personal finance, especially as it relates to paying for college, young adults are guided into improper loan plans that result in years of debt after graduation. In order to set students up to succeed financially, it is important to educate students and parents on their financial options before school in the fall. The best way to support families heading for college is to require that every high school student take a personal finance class before graduation. This will help smooth the transition into adulthood.The average student takes out at least one loan to cover the costs of their education each year. In 2014 the average student graduating from college carried a negative balance of about $20,000 in debt, which often spread over multiple lenders. Upon graduation, students rarely know exactly how much money they owe, and even though they are in the state of being unable to pay their debts, they cannot wipe out student loans. These students spend much of their adult lives paying off the gradual increasing debts.A personal finance course would teach students how to manage their income and expenditures, while helping to significantly reduce the amount of debt students carry into adulthood. By teaching students how to save money and live within their means, this course will provide the next generation with a foundation to progress financially. Students choosing to get a job straight out of high school would also benefit from finance education for these very reasons. With education on how to manage their finances, all young people will have the knowledge to make healthy decisions, leading them to improve good credit and purchase needed items like cars and homes with skill and confidence.While not every young person makes financial mistakes, those who do can face years of difficulty trying to get their finances back under control. Rather than help them through these hard times when they happen, we should try to prevent them from happening at all. Making the completion of personal finance coursework a requirement for graduation would ensure that young people are at least aware of the basics of preserving a financial stability.1.After graduation from college, many young people ________.A. struggle to support their familiesB. spend years paying off their debtsC. get through the hard times smoothlyD. are able to manage their own finances well2.What is the third paragraph mainly about?A. Ways to improve financial credits.B. Advantages of taking a finance course.C. Skills of balancing income and expenditures.D. Introduction to the education on personal finance.3.Having financial knowledge, high school students are probably able to ________.A. smooth their way for collegeB. get out of their financial trapC. free from the cost of their college educationD. avoid the risk of the future financial trouble4.The main purpose of the passage is to ________.A. inform and explainB. argue and persuadeC. analyze and evaluateD. discuss and examine答案:B B D B3According to official government figures, there are more than twice as many kangaroos as people in Australia, and many Australians consider them pests(有害动物). Landholding farmers say that the country’s estimated 50 million kangaroos damage their crops and compete with livestock for scarce resources. Australia’s insurance industry says that kangaroos are involved in more than 80 percent of the 20,000-plus vehicle-animal collisions reported each year. In the country’s underpopulated re gion, the common belief is that kangaroo numbers have swollen to “plague proportions.”In the absence of traditional hunters, the thinking goes, killing kangaroos is critical to balancing the ecology and boosting the rural economy. A government-sanctioned(政府认可的) industry, based on the commercial harvest of kangaroo meat and hides, exported $29 million in products in 2017 and supports about 4,000 jobs. Today meat, hides, and leather from kangaroos have been exported to 56 countries. Global brands such as Nike, Puma, and Adidas buy strong, supple “k-leather” to make athletic gear. And kangaroo meat is finding its way into more and more grocery stores.Advocates point out that low-fat, high-protein kangaroo meat comes from an animal more environmentally friendly than greenhouse gas-emitting sheep and cattle. John Kelly, former executive director of the Kangaroo Industry Association of Australia, says, “Harvesting our food and fibers from animals adapted to Australia’s fragile rangelands is extremely wise and sus tainable. Many ecologists will tell you that there is no more humane way of producing red meat.”Opponents(反对者) of the industry call the killing inhumane, unsustainable, and unnecessary. Population estimates are highly debatable, they say, but “plague proportions” are biologically implausible. Little kangaroos grow slowly, and many die, so kangaroo populations can expand by only 10 to 15 percent a year, and then only under the best of circumstances. Dwayne Bannon-Harrison, a member of the Yuin people of New South Wales, says the idea that kangaroos are destroying the country is laughable. “They’ve been walking this land a lot longer than people have,” he says. “How could something that’s been here for thousands of years be ‘destroying’ the country? I don’t understand the logic in that.”Can Australians’ conflicting attitudes toward kangaroos be reconciled(和解)? George Wilson says that if kangaroos were privately owned, then graziers(放牧人)—working independently or through wildlife conservancies—would protect the animals, treating them as possessions. They could feed them, lease them, breed them and charge hunter a fee for access. “If you want to conserve something,” Wilson says, “you have to give it a value. Animals that are considered pests don’t have value.”Privatization could also help reduce grazing pressures. If kangaroos were more valuable than cattle or sheep, farmers would keep less live-stock, which could be good for the environment. Under this scheme, landholders would work with the kangaroo industry on branding, marketing and quality control. The government’s role would be oversight and regulation.1.What can be learnt from the first three paragraphs?A. Kangaroo meat is healthier than other red meat.B. Global brands make small profits on kangaroos.C. Kangaroos are more friendly to the environment.D. Overpopulated kangaroos have become a financial burden.2.What does the underlined word “implausible” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?A. Unreasonable.B. Immeasurable.C. Unquestionable.D. Unchangeable.3.Which of the following might be the benefit of privatization?A. The popularity of kangaroo hunting.B. The reduction in the number of kangaroos.C. The establishment of more conservation areas.D. The better management of the kangaroo industry.4.The passage is written to ________.A. argue against the killing of kangaroosB. stress the importance of protecting kangaroosC. present different opinions on the kangaroo industryD. provide a solution to the problem caused by kangaroos答案:C A D D4Bullying(霸凌) can take a variety of forms, from the verbal to the physical as well as indirect forms, such as being excluded from social groups. Bullying is clearly unpleasant, and can make the child experiencing it feel unworthy and depressed. In extreme cases it can even lead to suicide, though this is thankfully rare.Until recently, not much was known about the topic, and little help was available to teachers to deal with bullying. Perhaps as a consequence, schools would often deny the problem. …There i s no bullying at this school‟ has been a common answer if asked, almost certainly untrue. Fortunately more schools are now saying: “There is not much bullying here, but when it occurs we have a clear policy for dealing with it.” Three factors are involved in this change. First is an awareness of the severity of the problem. Second, a number of resources to help tackle bullying have become available in Britain. For example, the Scottish Council for Research in Education produced a package of materials, Action Against Bullying, circulated to all schools in England and Wales as well as in Scotland. In Ireland, Guidelines on Countering Bullying Behaviour in Post-Primary Schools was published, too. Third, there is evidence that these materials work, and that schools can achieve something.Evidence suggests that a key step is to develop a policy on bullying, saying clearly what bullying means, and giving explicit guidelines on what will be done if it occurs, what records will be kept, who will be informed and what punishments will be employed. The policy should be developed through consultation over a period of time. Pupils, parents and staff should feel they have been involved in the policy. Other actions can be taken to back up the policy. There are ways of dealing with the topic through the curriculum, using video, drama and literature. But curriculum work alone may only have short-term effects; it should be an addition to policy work. There are also ways of working with individual pupils, or in small groups. Work in the playground is important, too. One helpful step is to train lunchtime supervisors to distinguish bullying from playful fighting, and help them break up conflicts. Another possibility is to improve the playground environment, so that pupils are less likely to be led into bullying from boredom or frustration.With these developments, schools can expect that at least the most serious kinds of bullying can largely be prevented. The more effort is put in and the wider the whole school is involved, the more substantial the results are likely to be. The reduction in bullying and the consequent improvement in pupil happiness is surely a worthwhile objective.1.The writer thinks that the response …There is no bullying at this school‟ shows.A. bullying can be easily dealt withB. bullying doesn’t exist in the schoolC. the school knows nothing about bullyingD. the school lacks the knowledge and resources about bullying2.From paragraph 2, we can learn that.A. reasons for the increased rate of bullying are clearB. in the previous years, British government policy failedC. developments in dealing with bullying have led to a solutionD. there is no research into how common bullying is in British schools3.According to the passage, what is the most important part of reducing bullying?A. Develop a policy through consultation.B. Deal with the topic through the curriculum.C. Work with individual pupils or in small groups.D. Give detailed guidelines on the right things to do.4.Which of the following is the most suitable title for the passage?A. Bullying: what parents can doB. Bullying: are the schools to blame?C. Bullying: the link with academic failureD. Bullying: from no way out to prevention答案:D C A D5Hollywood’s theory that machines with evil(邪恶) minds will drive armies of killer robots is just silly. The real problem relates to the possibility that artificial intelligence(AI) may become extremely good at achieving something other than what we really want. In 1960 a well-known mathematician Norbert Wiener, who founded the field of cybernetics(控制论), put it this way: “If we use, to achieve our purposes, a mechanical agency with whose operation we cannot effectively interfere(干预), we had better be quite sure that the purpose which we really desire.”A machine with a specific purpose has another quality, one that we usually associate with living things: a wish to preserve its own existence. For the machine, this quality is not in-born, nor is it something introduced by humans; it is a logical consequence of the simple fact that the machine cannot achieve its original purpose if it is dead. So if we send out a robot with the single instruction of fetching coffee, it will have a strong desire to secure success by disabling its own off switch or even killing anyone who might interfere with its task. If we are not careful, then, we could face a kind of global chess match against very determined, super intelligent machines whose objectives conflict with our own, with the real world as the chessboard.The possibility of entering into and losing such a match should concentrating the minds of computer scientists. Some researchers argue that we can seal the machines inside a kind of firewall, using them to answer difficult questions but never allowing them to affect the real world. Unfortunately, that plan seems unlikely to work: we have yet to invent a firewall that is secure against ordinary humans, let alone super intelligent machines.Solving the safety problem well enough to move forward in AI seems to be possible but not easy. There are probably decades in which to plan for the arrival of super intelligent machines. But the problem should not be dismissed out of hand, as it has been by some AI researchers. Some argue that humans and machines can coexist as long as they work in teams—yet that is not possible unless machines share the goals of humans. Others say we can just “switch them off” as if super intelligent machines are too stupid to think of that possibility. Still others think that super intelligent AI will never happen. On September 11, 1933, famous physicist Ernest Rutherford stated, with confidence, “Anyone who expects a source of power in the transformation of these atoms is talking moonshine.” However, on September 12, 1933, physicist Leo Szilard invented the neutron-induced(中子诱导) nuclear chain reaction.1.Paragraph 1 mainly tells us that artificial intelligence may.A. run out of human controlB. satisfy human’s real desiresC. command armies of killer robotsD. work faster than a mathematician2.Machines with specific purposes are associated with living things partly because they might be able to.A. prevent themselves from being destroyed B achieve their original goals independentlyC. do anything successfully with given ordersD. beat humans in international chess matches3.According to some researchers, we can use firewalls to.A. help super intelligent machines work betterB. be secure against evil human beingsC. keep machines from being harmedD. avoid robots’ affecting the world4.What does the author think of the safety problem of super intelligent machines?A. It will disappear with the development of AIB. It will get worse with human interference.C. It will be solved but with difficultyD. It will stay for a decade.答案:A A D C6The Cost of Higher EducationIndividuals (个人) should pay for their higher education.A university education is of huge and direct benefit to the individual. Graduates earn more than non-graduates. Meanwhile, social mobility is ever more dependent on having a degree. However, only some people have it. So the individual, not the taxpayers, should pay for it. There are pressing calls on the resources (资源) of the government. Using taxpayers' money to help a small number of people to earn high incomes in the future is not one of them.Full government funding (资助) is not very good for universities. Adam Smith worked in a Scottish university whose teachers lived off student fees. He knew and looked down upon 18th-century Oxford, where the academics lived comfortably off the income received from the government. Guaranteed salaries, Smith argued, were the enemy of hard work; and when the academics were lazy and incompetent, the students were similarly lazy.If students have to pay for their education, they not only work harder, but also demand more from their teachers. And their teachers have to keep them satisfied. If that means taking teaching seriously, and giving less time to their own research interests, that is surely something to celebrate.Many people believe that higher education should be free because it is good for the economy (经济). Many graduates clearly do contribute to national wealth, but so do all the businesses that invest (投资) and create jobs. If you believe that the government should pay for higher education because graduates are economically productive, you should also believe that the government should pay part of business costs. Anyone promising to create jobs should receive a gift of capital from the government to invest. Therefore, it is the individual, not the government, who should pay for their university education.1.The underlined word "them" in Paragraph 2 refers toA. taxpayersB. pressing callsC. college graduatesD. government resources2.The author thinks that with full government fundingA. teachers are less satisfiedB. students are more demandingC. students will become more competentD. teachers will spend less time on teaching3.The author mentions businesses in Paragraph 5 in order toA. argue against free university educationB. call on them to finance students' studiesC. encourage graduates to go into businessD. show their contribution to higher education答案: B D A7Preparing Cities for Robot CarsThe possibility of self-driving robot cars has often seemed like a futurist’s dream, years away from materializing in the real world. Well, the future is apparently now. The California Department of Motor Vehicles began giving permits in April for companies to test truly self-driving cars on public roads. The state also cleared the way for companies to sell or rent out self-driving cars, and for companies to operate driverless taxi services. California, it should be noted, isn’t leading the way here. Companies have been testing their vehicles in cities across the country. It’s hard to predict when driverless cars will be everywhere on our roads. But however long it takes, the technology has the potential to change our transportation systems and our cities, for better or for worse, depending on how the transformation is regulated.While much of the debate so far has been focused on the safety of driverless cars(and rightfully so), policymakers also should be talking about how self-driving vehicles can help reduce traffic jams, cut emissions(排放) and offer more convenient, affordable mobility options. The arrival of driverless vehicles is a chance to make sure that those vehicles are environmentally friendly and more shared. Do we want to copy — or even worsen — the traffic of today with driverless cars? Imagine a future where most adults own individual self-driving vehicles. They tolerate long, slow journeys to and from work on packed highways because they can work, entertain themselves or sleep on the ride, which encourages urban spread. They take their driverless car to an appointment and set the empty vehicle to circle the building to avoid paying for parking. Instead of walking a few blocks to pick up a child or the dry cleaning, they send the self-driving minibus. The convenience even leads fewer people to take public transport — an unwelcome side effect researchers have already found in ride-hailing(叫车) services.A study from the University of California at Davis suggested that replacing petrol-powered private cars worldwide with electric, self-driving and shared systems could reduce carbon emissions from transportation 80% and cut the cost of transportation infrastructure(基础设施) and operations 40% by 2050. Fewer emissions and cheaper travel sound pretty appealing. The first commercially available driverless cars will almost certainly be fielded by ride-hailing services, considering the cost of self-driving technology as well as liability and maintenance issues(责任与维护问题). But driverless car ownership could increase as the prices drop and more people become comfortable with the technology.Policymakers should start thinking now about how to make sure the appearance of driverless vehicles doesn’t extend the worst aspects of the car-controlled transportation system we have today. The coming technological advancement presents a chance for cities and states to develop transportation systems designed to move more people, and more affordably. The car of the future is coming. We just have to plan for it.1.According to the author, attention should be paid to how driverless cars can __________.A. help deal with transportation-related problemsB. provide better services to customersC. cause damage to our environmentD. make some people lose jobs2.As for driverless cars, what is the author’s major concern?A. Safety.B. Side effects.C. Affordability.D. Management.3. what does the under lined word “field” in paragraph 4 probably mean?A. employed.B. replaced.C. shared. D reduced4.What is the author’s attitude to the future of self-driving cars?A. Doubtful.B. Positive.C. Disapproving.D. Sympathetic.答案:A D A B8Why College Is Not HomeThe college years are supposed to be a time for important growth in autonomy(自主性) and the development of adult identity. However, now they are becoming an extended period of adolescence, during which many of today’s students and are not shouldered with adult responsibilities.For previous generations, college was decisive break from parental control; guidance and support needed help from people of the same age and from within. In the past two decades, however, continued connection with and dependence on family, thanks to cellphones, email and social media, have increased significantly. Some parents go so far as to help with coursework. Instead of promoting the idea of college as a passage from the shelter of the family to autonomy and adult responsibility,universities have given in to the idea that they should provide the same environment as that of the home.To prepare for increased autonomy and responsibility, college needs to be a time of exploration and experimentation. This process involves “trying on ” new ways of thinking about oneself both the intellectually(在思维方面) and personally. While we should provide “safe spaces” within colleges, we must also make it safe to express opinions and challenge majority views. Intellectual growth and flexibility are fostered on debate and questioning.Learning to deal with the social world is equally important. Because a college community(群体) differs from the family, many students will struggle to find a sense of belonging. If students rely on administrators to regulate their social behavior. and thinking pattern, they are not facing the challenge of finding an identity within a larger and complex community.Moreover, the tendency for universities to monitor and shape student behavior runs up against another characteristic of young adults: the response to being controlled by their elders. If acceptable social behavior. is too strictly defined(规定) and controlled, the insensitive or aggressive behavior. that administrators are seeking to minimize may actually be encouraged.It is not surprising that young people are likely to burst out, particularly when there are reasons to do so. Our generation once joined hands and stood firm at times of national emergency. What is lacking today is the conflict between adolescen t’s desire for autonomy and their understanding of an unsafe world. Therefore, there is the desire for their dorms to be replacement homes and not places to experience intellectual growth.Every college discussion about community values, social climate and behavior. should include recognition of the developmental importance of student autonomy and self-regulation, of the necessary tension between safety and self-discovery.1.What’s the author’s attitude toward continued parental guidance to college students?A. SympatheticB. DisapprovingC. SupportiveD. Neutral2.The underlined word “passage” in Paragraph 2 means ___________.A. changeB. choice C .text D. extension3.According to the author ,what role should college play?A.to develop a shared identity among studentsB.to define and regulate students’ social behaviourC. to provide a safe world without tension for studentsD. to foster students’ intellectual and personal development4.Which of the following shows the development of ideas in the passage?答案:B A D C。
浅谈高中英语阅读教学的认知英语阅读是以文章作为语言实体和信息载体,阅读是对整体进行认知构建的语言分析过程。
根据高中英语课程标准,要求普通高中英语毕业生必须达到七级阅读技能目标,学生能从一般性文章获取和处理一些重要的信息,能理解文章主旨和作者的意图,能通过上下文客服生词困难,理解整片的意思;能通过文章中的线索推理获取信息等。
这就对高中英语教学提出了新的挑战,但是学生长期处于传统英语教学之中,无论是学生的学和老师的教都有很大的盲目性,以至于造成了学生英语效率低下,影响阅读能力发展。
一、英语阅读教学现状教师是教学的组织者和倡导者,在教学过程中起着重要的引导作用,一个优秀的教师不仅仅给学生传授知识,更重要的是培养学生学习能力,但长期以来,很多的老师不注重理论学习,按照以前传统习惯性思维方法。
或者是为了学生在高考中取得好的成绩,强制性记忆词汇和语法。
这样本身让学生停留在对材料理解的表面基础上,成绩提高仅仅靠“题海”战术,无法体验语言学习的乐趣。
所以说老师在英语教学中主要存在以下问题首先,过多强调语言知识传授,很多老师把阅读材料作为用来传授语言知识的一种形式,以词汇、语法为主线,将完整而意义明确的文章分解成很多零散的语言知识点传授给你学生,使学生很难理解文章的含义。
其次,采用单一阅读教学模式,很多教师在阅读教学中,更多的采用灌输教学方式,即便不同程度采用一些启发方式,也只是教师设计提问,学生被动回答,学习很难在课堂上发挥主体作用,从而使学生学习的积极性极大挫伤。
再次,缺乏对阅读策略的指导。
很多教师缺乏对阅读策略的指导,导致学生在阅读过程中总是不知道采用什么样的阅读策略去扑捉有效的信息,阻碍他们做出正确的推理判断。
同时在教学中,老师实行纯粹的阅读教学也对学生的阅读能力的提高造成很大的影响。
以上的种种想想只是高中英语教学中存在的一些基本问题,究其原因一方面是长期应试教育传统习惯的影响,老师和学生仅仅注重眼前的考试成绩,不重视能力的提高和终身学习的培养;另一方面是对英语学习的误解,不能很正确理解学习的真谛。
浅谈高中生英语阅读能力的培养摘要:在近几年的英语高考中,学生阅读理解能力的高低在考试中起着关键性的作用,并且阅读占得分量越来越重。
因此,着重培养学生用英语获取信息、处理信息、分析和解决问题的能力,逐步培养学生用英语进行思维和表达的能力,即就是阅读能力,是每位英语教育工作者必须面临的重要课题。
本文就高中生阅读理解能力培养和提高的方式、方法做了尝试性的探索。
关键词:高中英语阅读能力阅读习惯阅读策略如何培养和提高学生的英语阅读理解能力呢?本人通过教学实践,认为应该从学生的词汇量、广泛阅读、阅读习惯、阅读策略、广泛阅读等方面入手。
一、要使学生具有大量的词汇量并了解文化背景知识英语是一门语言。
要想培养和提高阅读理解能力,首先要掌握大量的词汇,了解说英语国家的文化背景知识。
1.要攻克单词关,冲破词汇量低的封锁线。
词汇是语言不可缺少的建筑材料。
教师应加强词汇的教学,想方设法指导学生记忆单词。
要让学生下苦功切实掌握高中教材中的单词。
还得掌握多义词、近义词、构词法、词组与习语等词汇知识,还有日常生活中常用的词,为阅读理解打下基础。
2.学生要具备一些异域的文化背景知识。
教师要适当介绍英语国家的人文、地理、历史、科技、体育、生活习俗和风土人情等方面的知识,使学生了解东西方两种文化的差异,使用英语的思维方式。
二、精读和泛读并举,延伸阅读,培养阅读习惯在当前全球一体化的进程中,各种信息铺天盖地而来。
特别是高三年级在备考复习中,许多学生感到很茫然,不知选择何种材料来阅读。
这时,老师应加强阅读指导,让学生走近高考。
可以搜集一些有思想性、趣味性、知识性、挑战性和时代性,贴近生活,与学生水平相当的材料,尤其是社会类的材料,应作为首选,供学生精读和泛读。
从中感受英语学习的乐趣和英语语言的魅力。
另外,要让学生养成天天阅读的习惯,语言在于感受。
拳不离手,曲不离口就是这个道理。
至少每天完成一至二篇,其中有一篇作为精读,老师要引导帮助和实施监控,并作正确评价。
限时训练——阅读理解之议论文1. 【·湖北卷】Science has a lot of uses. It can uncover laws of nature, cure diseases, make bombs, and help bridges to stand up. Indeed science is so good at what it does that there’s always a tempt ation(诱惑) to drag it into problems where it may not be helpful. David Brooks, author of The Social Animal: The Hidden Sources of Love, Character,and Achievement, appears to be the latest in a long line of writers who have failed to resist the temptation. Brooks gained fame for several books. His latest book The So cial Animal, however, is more ambitious and serious than his earlier books. It is an attempt to deal with a set of weighty topi cs. The book focuses on big questions: What has science rev ealed about human nature? What are the sources of characte r? And why are some people happy and successful while othe rs aren’t?To answer these questions, Brooks surveys a wide range of d isciplines(学科). Considering this, you might expect the book to be a dry recitation of facts. But Brooks has structured his book in an unorthodox(非常规的), and perhaps unfortunate, way. Instead of introducing scie ntific theories, he tells a story, within which he tries to make hi s points, perhaps in order to keep the reader’s attention.So as Harold and Erica, the hero and heroine in his story, live throu gh childhood, we hear about the science of child development and as they begin to date we hear about the theory of sexual attraction. Brooks carries this through to the death of one of hi s characters.On the whole,Brooks’s story is acceptable if uninspired. As on e would expect, his writing is mostly clear and, to be fair, som e chapters stand out above the rest. I enjoyed, for instance, th e chapter in which Harold discovers how to think on his own. While Harold and Erica are certainly not strong or memorable characters, the more serious problems with The Social Animal lie elsewhere. These problems partly involve Brooks’s attemp t to translate his tale into science.1.The author mentions the functions of science at the beginni ng of the passage to__________.A. illustrate where science can be appliedB. demonstrate the value of Brooks’s new bookC. remind the reader of the importance of scienceD. explain why many writers use science in their works2.According to the author, which of the following could be a st rength of the book?A. Its strong basis.B. Its convincing points.C. Its clear writing.D. Its memorable characters.3.What is the author’s general attitude towards the book?A. Contradictory.B. Supportive.C . Cautious.D. Critical.4.What is the author likely to write about after the last paragra ph?A. Problems with the book.B. Brooks’s life experience.C. Death of the characters.D. Brooks’s translation skills.2. 【·陕西】Parents who help their children with homework may actually b e bringing down their school grades. Other forms of prenatal involvement, including volunteering at school and observing a child's class, also fail to help, according to the most recent stu dy on the topic.The findings challenge a key principle of modern parenting(养育子女) where schools except them to act as partners in their child ren's education. Previous generations concentrated on getting children to school on time, fed, dressed and ready to learn. Kaith Robinson, the author of the study, said, "I really don't know if the public is ready for this but there are some ways pa rents can be involved in their kids' education that leads to decl ines in their academic performance. One of the things that wa s consistently negative was parents' help with homework." Ro binson suggested that may be because parents themselves st ruggle to understand the task." They may either not remembe r the material their kids are studying now, or in some cases ne ver learnt it themselves, but they're still offering advice."Robinson assessed parental involvement performance and found one of the most damaging things a parent could do wa s to punish their children for poor marks. In general, about 20 % of parental involvement was positive, about 45% negative a nd the rest statistically insignificant.Common sense suggests it was a good thing for parents toget involved because "children with good academic success do have involved parents ", admitted Robinson. But he argue d that this did not prove parental involvement was the root ca use of that success." A big surprise was that Asian-American parents whose kids are doing so well in school hard ly involved. They took a more reasonable approach, conveyin g to their children how success at school could improve their li ves."1.

It can uncover laws of nature, cure diseases, make bombs, and he lp bridges to stand up. Indeed science is so good at what it does that there’s always a tempta tion(诱惑) to drag it into problems where it may not be helpful. David Brooks, author of The Social A nimal: The Hidden Sources of Love, Character,and Achievement, appears to be the latest in a long line of writers who have failed to resist the temptation.Brooks gained fame for several books. His latest book The Social Animal, however, is more ambitious and serious than his earlier books. It is an attempt to deal with a set of weighty topi cs. The book focuses on big questions: What has science revealed about human nature? Wh at are the sources of character? And why are some people happy and successful while other s aren’t?To answer these questions, Brooks surveys a wide range of disciplines(学科). Considering this, you might expect the book to be a dry recitation of facts. But Brooks h as structured his book in an unorthodox(非常规的), and perhaps unfortunate, way. Instead of introducing scientific theories, he tells a story, within which he tries to make his points, perhaps in order to keep the reader’s attention.So as Harold and Erica, the hero and heroine in his story, live through childhood, we hear about th e science of child development and as they begin to date we hear about the theory of sexual attraction. Brooks carries this through to the death of one of his characters.On the whole,Brooks’s story is acceptable if uninspired. As one would expect, his writing is m ostly clear and, to be fair, some chapters stand out above the rest. I enjoyed, for instance, th e chapter in which Harold discovers how to think on his own. While Harold and Erica are cert ainly not strong or memorable characters, the more serious problems with The Social Animal lie elsewhere. These problems partly involve Brooks’s attempt to translate his tale into science.1.The author mentions the functions of science at the beginning of the passage to__________ .A. illustrate where science can be appliedB. demonstrate the value of Brooks’s new bookC. remind the reader of the importance of scienceD. explain why many writers use science in their works2.According to the author, which of the following could be a strength of the book?A. Its strong basis.B. Its convincing points.C. Its clear writing.D. Its memorable characters.3.What is the author’s general attitude towards the book?A. Contradictory.B. Supportive.C . Cautious.D. Critical.4.What is the author likely to write about after the last paragraph?A. Problems with the book.B. Brooks’s life experience.C. Death of the characters.D. Brooks’s translation skills.2. 【·陕西】Parents who help their children with homework may actually be bringing down their school gr ades. Other forms of prenatal involvement, including volunteering at school and observing a child's class, also fail to help, according to the most recent study on the topic.The findings challenge a key principle of modern parenting(养育子女) where schools except them to act as partners in their children's education. Previous gene rations concentrated on getting children to school on time, fed, dressed and ready to learn.Kaith Robinson, the author of the study, said, "I really don't know if the public is ready for t his but there are some ways parents can be involved in their kids' education that leads to dec lines in their academic performance. One of the things that was consistently negative was pa rents' help with homework." Robinson suggested that may be because parents themselves st ruggle to understand the task." They may either not remember the material their kids are stud ying now, or in some cases never learnt it themselves, but they're still offering advice."Robinson assessed parental involvement performance and found one of the most damagi ng things a parent could do was to punish their children for poor marks. In general, about 20 % of parental involvement was positive, about 45% negative and the rest statistically insignifi cant.Common sense suggests it was a good thing for parents to get involved because "childre n with good academic success do have involved parents ", admitted Robinson. But he argue d that this did not prove parental involvement was the root cause of that success." A big surp rise was that Asian-American parents whose kids are doing so well in school hardly involved. They took a more r easonable approach, conveying to their children how success at school could improve their li ves."1.

高中学生英语阅读能力的培养策略论文高中学生英语阅读能力的培养策略论文摘要:阅读是英语学习中主要的输入方式之一。
阅读对于提高高中学生综合运用语言的能力至关重要。
本文从五个方面具体阐述了如何培养中学生的英语阅读能力。
关键词:阅读能力;教学模式;教学网络;阅读方法;独立意识阅读是基于某种目的,不断运用头脑中已有的相关知识,对读物提供的文字信息进行选择、对读物含义进行推理和推测的过程。
阅读能力即理解和吸收书面信息的能力。
阅读能激起学生学习英语的兴趣,有助于扩大词汇量,丰富语言知识,提高学生综合运用语言的能力。
那么,究竟怎样来提高中学生的英语阅读能力呢?笔者就此问题进行探讨,以求教于方家。
一、突破传统,探索新的课堂阅读教学模式在教学中,我们常采取以下步骤:1.做好阅读准备。
教师介绍文章的背景或其它相关信息,提供几个线索性的问题,帮助学生树立学习目标。
2.进行阅读训练。
让学生在规定的时间内完成阅读任务。
分两步:第一步,快速阅读,掌握文章大意,并回答教师提出的问题。
第二步,仔细阅读,要求学生自查字典,弄清词义,了解文章细节,划出疑难句子。
3.检查阅读效果。
可采用这样一些方法:通过回答问题来了解学生理解文章中描述细节的程度;通过让学生判断句子正误的练习,了解其读后的推理能力;通过让学生概括文章大意或口头复述主要情节,了解学生深层理解能力、记忆能力和语言概括能力。
4.解释阅读疑难。
教师可向学生解释本课学习的重点语法内容;课本中未作解释的长句、难句与有关的文化背景、交际习惯、人文心理等内容。
教师在解释疑难的过程中,必须有目的、有针对性。
同时,为了避免母语的干扰,必须尽量使用英语,注意少作理性的归纳,多举实例;少做深层分析,以学生弄懂句意即可;严格控制讲解时间,切忌东拉西扯,一泻千里。
5.巧妙布置作业。
课后作业可分为口头与笔头作业两种。
口头如朗读课文或复述课文的一部分,笔头如改、缩、仿写某段文字。
但无论采取何种形式,都须坚持“精、易、活、趣”的原则。
如何提高高中生英语阅读能力摘要:本文阐述了英语阅读的重要性以及怎样提高高中生英语阅读能力的方法。
重要性在于学生可持续性发展的问题以及以后逐级考试的问题。
方法在于首先要消除学生的畏惧心理,然后精选阅读资料并激发学生的阅读兴趣,要注意课内外不同阅读方式的结合。
关键词:激活课堂;课内外结合;持之以恒;精读;泛读英语阅读是英语学习中一个非常重要的方面。
他反映了学生直接应用英语和可持续性发展的能力。
同时,阅读的重要性还可以通过其在各级的英语考试中比分逐渐增大,份量逐年加重中得到充分体现。
高中生阅读理解能力的考核已成为高考的一部分,并且阅读理解能力影响并制约着学生听、说、读、写能力的形成与发展。
《中学英语教学大纲》也把培养学生的阅读能力作为一个主要的教学目标。
所以,英语教学必须增加语言实践的量,使学生获得充分的语言实践机会,阅读是我国学生接触外语信息、参与外语实践的重要途径,因而提高阅读能力是培养语言综合运用能力的重要方式。
阅读能力是英语四会能力中最基本最重要的能力之一,培养阅读能力有助于扩大词汇量,丰富语言知识,提高语言的运用能力,是大面积提高中学英语教学质量的关键。
英语阅读既然如此重要,那么怎样才能提高此项能力呢?我认为可以从以下几个方面着手。
1、消除学生畏惧心理要消除学生的畏惧心理就必须使他们一开始就能读得懂并能享受其乐趣。
所以教师在选取阅读材料的时候要慎之又慎。
要选取那些简明有趣的、生词量少的且语法简单的短文,尽量不要超过他们的学习范围。
如果短文中有的地方较难理解,我们可以用学生学过的语言加以修改后发给学生。
以后随着学生阅读能力的提高再逐渐地加深阅读材料的难度。
2、精挑细选阅读材料,激发学生的阅读兴趣高中学生能接触的英语阅读材料首先是英语课本,那么对于课本当然主要以精读为主,在提倡朗读和背诵的基础上,全面提高阅读理解。
在实际教学中,我们要洞察学生的现有水平,把握阅读材料的难易度;根据学生的心理特征,兴趣爱好,开展易于接受,易于实施的教学活动;我们可以采用各种灵活多样的教学模式来激活课堂,让学生在英语阅读中获得真正的乐趣,使学生在语言的海洋中遨游,逐步培养其正确的英语语言阅读能力。

高中英语阅读理解能力的培养多年的高中英语教学经验越来越让我感觉到,学生阅读的兴趣低,动力不足,学生的视幅有限,学生的注意力不集中,短时记忆力差是普遍存在又汲待解决的问题,为改变学生这种现状,在教学中,我努力培养学生良好的阅读习惯,提高其阅读理解的能力。
一、学生阅读兴趣低,动力不足我经常给学生选择恰当的阅读材料,不能让学生见啥读啥,并依据实际情况对阅读材料进行认真的筛选以便培养学生阅读的速度。
在选择材料时我注意了以下四点: 1. 篇幅长度适中。
高中生学习任务重,时间紧,阅读材料太长不但会耗掉较多的时间,而且容易使学生产生阅读疲劳,从而失去阅读兴趣。
必须根据需要进行大量的阅读活动,只有这样才能最终提高阅读理解能力。
2.难易要适当。
阅读材料的生词量一般不得超过3 %。
文章太难,学生读不懂就会失去信心。
材料的难易度应遵循先易后难,逐步提高的原则。
3. 题材、体裁要新颖多样。
这样不但可以激发学生的阅读兴趣,也可以使他们广泛涉猎多方面的知识,扩大知识面,提高阅读速度。
4. 阅读材料的思想性。
教师应引导学生阅读那些内容健康,读了开头想要快点知道结尾的有益材料,尤其是那些与他们生活息息相关,能够启发他们思维、触动他们灵魂的好文章。
二、由于学生词汇量的储备不足和背景知识缺乏,导致他们不能快速进入阅读状态词汇量的掌握我教给学生如下方法:1、利用词缀猜测生词的含义。
词缀可分为前缀和后缀,前缀有in-,im-,un-,dis-,re-等,后缀有-er,-ness,-ful,-tion等。
2、利用“故事”法。
由于英语中的有些词都有一段背景故事,来源有成语故事、传说、宗教信仰、文学名著、电影故事,等等,具有深厚的内涵,因此,这类词汇需要通过生动的讲“故事”才能使学生清楚明了。
3、利用上下文猜测词义。
联系上下文能够理解词意,例如:同位语关系、反义关系、因果关系、持续关系等。
4、利用归纳法记忆单词。
可以把日常用的单词分为体育类词汇、经贸类词汇、旅游类词汇和医学类词汇,等等。
浅谈高中英语阅读教学摘要:阅读能力的培养是一个长期的、复杂的过程,没有固定的模式可循。
因此,作为教者,一方面必须借鉴他人的经验,另一方面,必须在教学中探索新的思路,积累心得,改进方法。
这样才能促进教学相长,促进学生阅读能力的提高,提高学生运用英语的能力及运用英语分析和解决问题的能力。
本文就高中英语阅读教学谈谈自己浅显的认识。
关键词:阅读能力阅读教学阅读理解英语课程标准》指出,基础教育阶段英语课程的总体目标是培养学生的综合语言运用能力。
而阅读能力的培养是高中英语教学的核心内容。
近年来,全国高考英语卷(nmet)对考生的阅读理解能力的要求有了较大幅度的提高,其主要特点是:侧重语篇领悟能力和语言解码能力的考查,强调多学科知识的贯通,注重语篇分析水平、合理判定能力及根据语义进行逻辑推理能力的考查;读速要求大大提高,阅读词汇量逐年增加。
阅读部分在高考英语的试卷中占有很大比重。
可以说阅读的成败在一定程度上决定了英语高考的成败。
可见,对于将来要参加高考的高中生来说,阅读能力的培养的重要性与必要性就更为重要了。
那么在高中英语教学中如何进行阅读教学呢?一、意群阅读很多学生反映看不懂,不理解。
其实并非如此,而是逐字翻译,忽略了词语之间的搭配关系,割裂地看句子和文章。
很显然take itfor granted是个固定词组;it作形式宾语,that从句作宾语。
如果这样理解,就容易了。
在阅读中,应使学生知道阅读理解的基本单位是意群,不是单词。
二、过好生词关阅读水平的高低很大程度取决于阅读者词汇置的大小。
就中学英语阅读来讲,可以说生词是学生的“拦路虎”。
因此,如何指导学生跳过或猜测生词至关重要。
1.利用信号词。
如and,in addition,besides,what’s more,for example,etc.这些词预示前后内容相似及相互补充说明;或者根据转折词but,however,instead, yet及连词although,though 等,其后所述内容与上文相反,跳过或猜测出生词的大意。
提高高中生英语阅读能力的教学实践探索当前在中学英语教学中,如何提高高中学生的英语阅读能力是一个值得探讨的问题,是中学英语教师教学中的一个挑战。
根据我多年的高中英语教学实践,提出我的一些想法和做法,与同行切磋。
克拉克(clark,l.h.1976) 说过,每个教师都要做阅读教师,要所有的教师都必须正视在上课时教学生阅读的必要性。
高中英语新课程标准规定:在高中英语教学中,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阅读能力。
阅读是理解和吸收书面语言的手段,它有助于扩大词汇量,丰富语言知识,了解英语国家的社会和文化。
围绕听、说、读、写的综合训练来开展阅读教学,有效提高学生的英语阅读能力。
一、重视把词汇教学应用到阅读中的教学习惯词汇是语言的基础。
目前,仍然还有相当一部分教师在阅读课文教学时,先讲每个单词的用法,然后再要求学生去读课文。
依我之见,这样对学生阅读能力的提高没有任何的作用。
我们应该将词汇运用到阅读文章中,根据文章上下文语境来猜,即使学生猜错,也没有关系,只有长期坚持,学生阅读能力才能提高。
例如,我在要求学生记忆单词时,不是要求学生按照词汇表顺序一个一个死记,而是将词汇按照构词法、词义相同相近或词形相似分成组,然后将这些单词编成小阅读段落,使学生把词汇与阅读紧紧联系起来。
学生记忆起来即有趣又深刻。
如记忆:able, unable, disable,disabled, ability, disability, competence, talent 这组词汇。
我把它编成另类阅读:i am glad that i am able to form the ability to get on well with others. i hear that some people of talent are unable to communicate well with others, which will bring bad effect on their competence. as we know, jobs often call for cooperation.a man weak in communication is disabled in some way.二、重视阅读教学过程中的启发式教学阅读教学过程包含两个阶段:一是指非毕业班常规的教学方式。
英语教学论文范文(精选6篇)(4)摘要:随着全球化进程的加快,英语作为国际通用语言,在各个领域都发挥着重要作用。
在我国,英语教育也受到了越来越多的重视。
本文精选了六篇优秀的英语教学论文,通过分析这些论文的研究方法、研究内容以及研究结论,为我国英语教学提供了一些有益的借鉴和启示。
一、论文1:基于任务型教学法的高中英语阅读教学研究1. 研究方法:采用文献综述、问卷调查、课堂观察等方法,对任务型教学法在高中的应用进行了实证研究。
2. 研究内容:分析了任务型教学法在高中的应用现状,探讨了任务型教学法对提高高中英语阅读教学效果的作用。
3. 研究结论:任务型教学法有助于激发学生的学习兴趣,提高阅读理解能力,培养学生的自主学习能力。

3. 研究结论:项目式学习有助于提高学生的写作能力,培养学生的创新思维和团队协作能力,提高课堂教学效果。
浅谈高中英语阅读教学的有效性近几年高考的英语阅读理解试题既突出了较大的阅读量,还考查了学生对文章整体意义的把握及创新思维能力,要求考生必须具备较高的阅读速度和快速思维能力。
试题的这一转轨,高中英语阅读课就倍受教师的重视,但教学效果却总是不理想。
究其原因一方面,学生英语阅读能力的高低与其词汇量、文化背景知识和阅读技巧的掌握等密切相关;另一方面,教师在阅读课教学中所采用的教学方法也直接影响着学生对阅读方法和策略的掌握和应用。
因此,教师在阅读课教学中采取怎样的阅读教学方法应该引起教师的重视和思索。
一、强化朗读训练,培养语感,这是提高英语阅读教学的基础。
朗读是学生学习英语的重要手段。
叶圣陶老先生指出:“至于文字语言训练,最要紧的是训练语感,离开了语感,一切说写都无法进行。
”英语也属于文字语言训练,因此最要紧的是训练语感,我们只有要求学生通过反复朗读,才能掌握课本上的词汇和句型。
学生应在老师指导下尽量多朗读英语读物,这样才能扩大知识面,培养语感。
朗读实际上是训练口头表达能力的一种基本的方法,尤其是速读。
人教版版的英语教材每单元都有一个主题,在听、模仿理解主题后,让学生朗读课文,课上每组检查一名学生,课下教师检查组长(速读),组长检查组员,当天过关。
长期坚持朗读,培养学生语感,提高了阅读速度,培养了学生阅读理解能力。
二、抓住语境,学会猜词是英语阅读教学的基础。
语言教学离不开语言环境,因此我们在英语教学中引导学生体会语境,联系文句理解不同词语的意思。
特别是在阅读时肯定会出现一些生词,学生容易发生歧义,导致对文意的误解。
为此我们就交给学生一些猜词的技巧:1)通过因果关系猜词。
首先是找出生词与上下文之间的逻辑关系,然后才能猜词。
有时文章借助关联词(如because,as,since,for,so,thus,as a result,of course,therefore等等)表示前因后果。
例如:you shouldn’t have blamed him for that,for it wasn’t his fault.通过for引出的句子所表示的原因(那不是他的错),可猜出blame的词义是”责备”。
如何提高高中生的英语阅读能力我们已经进入了社会生活信息化和经济全球化的二十一世纪,知识日新月异,科技突飞猛进。
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、写四大技能应到达的目标进行了详细地描述,而我们英语教学的目的就是要培养学生独立阅读能力和应用语言的能力。
因此这就要求我们在教学中必须注意培养学生英语阅读理解能力。
同时,阅读理解始终是高考试题中的重头戏,它占笔答部分分值的三分之一。
它集中、全面地检测了考生从短文中获得信息能力以及理解的准确程度。
综观近年来的高考阅读理解可以得知以下几方面的特点: 1、信息量增大。
阅读全节总词汇量逐年增加,对考生阅读速度的要求明显越来越高。
试题的设计发生了变化,表层意义理解有所减少,而深层含义试题有增加,重视了思维能力的考查。
要求考生通过字里行间,挖掘作者的写作思路和真正意图,领会文章的话外之音。
3、非大纲词汇有所增加。
由于新词的出现,考生只用通过context来理解词汇的含义。
语言必须面对猜词的事实在试题中的导向很明显。
4、语篇结构较为复杂。
2007、2008、2009高考连续三次五篇短文的语篇构成都有相当难度。
作者在阐述问题时都使用多种语篇手段和修辞方法。
行文的跳跃程度较大,陈述次序富于变化,隐含信息较多等。
考生读懂了文字,也不一定能立刻领悟语篇的意思。
因此如何提高高中生的阅读理解能力一直是外语教学的重要目标,下文是我人对如何提高阅读能力的几点体会:一、培养学生良好的阅读习惯1、要引导学生识别意群和关键信息,使学生不要过多地关注每个单词的词义。
这样,在阅读中,他们才能读得很快,更好地记住关键的信息。
老师可以教学生练习划分意群或拿一些已经划出意群的短文给学生读,关于基本句型的知识也可以帮助学生更好地把握长句中的重要信息。
浅谈高中英语阅读能力的培养英语课程标准指出,基础教育阶段英语课程的总体目标是培养学生的综合语言运用能力。
而阅读能力的培养是高中英语教学的核心内容。
近年来,全国高考英语卷(nmet)对考生的阅读理解能力的要求有了较大幅度的提高,其主要特点是:侧重语篇领悟能力和语言解码能力的考查,强调多学科知识的贯通,注重语篇分析判断能力及根据语义进行逻辑推理能力的考查;阅读速度要求大大提高,阅读词汇量逐年增加。
完形填空和短文改错中对阅读能力的考查在高考英语的试卷中占有很大比重,总分达80分之多。
因此,阅读能力的培养在高中英语教学中极为重要。
下面就如何培养和提高高中生的阅读理解能力,谈谈我的看法。
一、循序渐进,逐步提高阅读能力的培养和提高并非一朝一夕所能达到,需要经过师生长期坚持不懈的努力。
因此,学生进入高一后,教师就要制订计划,有条不紊地对学生进行系统的阅读训练。
高一重点培养理解分析能力。
高二重点培养学生初步鉴赏文学作品的能力,可以开设小说赏读课。
高三强化阅读技巧和速度,提高解题能力。
通过循序渐进,逐步落实这些目标,学生的阅读能力一定会有很大的提高。
二、立足课本,优化课堂教学模式新课标指导下的英语教学要“以人为本,以学生为主体”。
除了强调语言技能和语言功能的掌握,更强调对学生情感因素的关注。
教师应该运用整体教学的原则,充分利用课本提供的语言材料,指导学生进行整体感知,并利用多种教学手段深入挖掘,循环加深,最后整体推进,真正培养学生的良好阅读习惯。
同时注重开展多种生动活泼的教学活动,挖掘教材中含有跨文化背景和社会内容的语言现象,并结合这些语言现象,广泛向学生传授文化、语言和认知等方面的知识,真正提高学生的语言应用能力。
同时要结合听、说、写,整体训练,提高阅读理解能力,为以后高层次的阅读奠定基础。
三、精选材料,广泛阅读精选难度适中,内容新颖,题材广泛,体裁丰富的文章,并注意在问题的设置上要体现对分析、判断、推理和综合能力的考查,以求开发学生学习语言的潜在能力。
高中英语课外阅读的意义及其常模的构建阅读,是我们从某个材料中获取相关信息的过程,它包括文字、符号、图画、公式或图表等,而课外阅读,是一种主体性自主学习过程。
从小培养孩子们的阅读能力,可以激起孩子们对整个学科的兴趣。
前苏联著名的教育家苏霍姆林斯基说得好,“如果学生的智力生活仅限于教科书,如果他做完了功课就觉得任务已经完成,那么他是不可能有自己特别爱好的学科了。
”因此,我们必须力争去培养孩子们的阅读兴趣,以及对英语这门学科的兴趣。
让孩子们不仅仅是为了增强解题能力而去阅读,而是因为单纯的喜爱而去阅读!课外阅读和课堂阅读是不一样的课堂阅读有着较强的控制性,学生处于被控状态。
课堂阅读要求学生在一定的时间内完成对某一篇文章的阅读,并根据自己对文章的理解回答指定的题目。
因此学生在进行课堂阅读时都感到时间的急迫,对于一些语言点没有时间进行深入研究,只想了解文章的大意就好,甚至只是想了解与问题的有关的内容。
有时,出于解题需要,有些学生会先看问题再进行阅读,因此,与问题有关的句子会进行多遍阅读,而不会看与问题不相关的语句。
课堂阅读的选材不以学生的兴趣为依据,阅读内容和风格往往向高考看齐。
所以说课堂阅读带有极强的解题拿分的功利性。
课外阅读从另一方面诠释阅读的真正含义学生可以根据自身的实际情况,在空闲时间阅读文章,这并不会给予学生时间的逼迫感。
学生有足够的时间来解决遇到的问题。
学生进行课外阅读的目的几乎与解题无关,而是他们可以在学习任务繁重时通过课外阅读缓解自己的学习压力;也可以在节假日通过课外阅读增长自己的见识,拓宽自己的知识面;亦可以在迷惘失措时通过课外阅读得到新的启发和前进的动力……进行课外阅读的目的因个人的实际情况而决定,其出发点与课堂阅读截然不同。
由于有充足的时间作为基础,学生课外阅读所采取的方式是精推细酌法。
利用身边的工具书将文章中的不懂或疑难一一解决,并对文中的优美句子进行赏析。
课外阅读的文体与选材完全决定于学生个人的意向与爱好,不受任何的限制。
浅谈高中英语阅读技能教学在高中英语新课程课堂教学中阅读理解教学尤其重要。
阅读技能是学生应掌握的最核心技能。
通过阅读,学生不但能了解各地的政治,经济,文化等领域的知识,还能丰富课余生活。
许多教师,学者和专家都一致赞同阅读理解是高中英语教学的重点及难点。
有的教师甚至认为,阅读理解能力的强弱决定学生对语言材料的领悟的深浅,还是语言学习过程中发展各项技能的基础。
在当前高中英语新课程教学测试中,阅读理解所占分值比例最大。
因此,在英语教学中阅读教学是英语教师的教学重点。
阅读的基本技能包括略读(skinning),查读(scanning),理解大意(reading for main ideas),猜测词义(dealing with unfamiliar words and phrases),预测下文(predicting),了解重要细节(reading for specific information), 推理判断(inferring), 理解句子和文章组织结构(understanding sentence and text organization),了解文章风格和文体(understanding the writing style)等等。
在英语阅读教学中,教师应围绕新课程标准的阅读要求,结合阅读材料的内容和特点,联系阅读的基本技能对阅读教学进行试验性设计。
在通常情况下,阅读教学主要有读前准备阶段(pre-reading),快速阅读阶段(fast reading),仔细阅读阶段(careful reading)和课后综合练习阶段(post reading)。
采用的方法主要有任务型教学法,即以“学生中心,在练中学,用中学”的教学模式。
普通高中课程标准实验教科书必修二第四模块的阅读课文three great composers of the eighteenth century为例来浅谈高中英语阅读教学策略。
一:读前准备阶段(pre-reading)three great composers of the eighteenth century介绍三位外国音乐家——海顿(haydn),莫扎特(mozart)和贝多芬(beethoven)的生平事迹。
提高高中生英语阅读理解能力在英语教学过程中,听、说、读、写是必不可少的四个环节。
阅读理解是外语教学的重要一环,是高中英语教学的重点。
在教授阅读理解这一环节时,一定要清楚我们不仅要让学生学会语言知识,获取文章提供的信息,领悟文章的内涵,更重要的是要使学生掌握阅读的方法和技能,真正成为有阅读能力的人。
阅读能力是一种语言的综合能力,它的获得需要两个最基本的因素:语言能力和阅读技巧。
语言能力的形成是长期积累的结果,它包括一定的词汇量和基本的语法知识。
这些需要同学们平时就注重词汇量的积累,试想一篇文章中生词连篇,如何谈得上理解?更谈不上提高。
阅读是需要有一定技巧的,它包括寻找中心句、中心词的能力,猜测词义的能力,推断文章隐含意思的能力,总结文章主旨能力等等。
笔者在此具体谈一谈如何提高英语阅读理解能力:1、积累词汇。
词汇是语言的最基本单位,学习语言是以词汇为基础的。
读者的词汇量越大,理解语言的范围就越广。
词汇的储存量不够,在阅读过程中因生词过多而处处碰壁的现象就会发生,这样就很难理解文章大意。
因此,对于教学大纲中所要求的词汇,学生一定要熟掌握。
在这个过程中,教师可以用恰当的方法对学生进行监督、检测。
同时,除了大纲要求的词汇以外,学生还应通过扩大阅读量来扩大自己的词汇量。
2、掌握基本的语法知识。
储备了足够的单词,还不足以能很好地理解一些文章。
有些阅读材料中的难句、长句常常令学生生畏,这就需要掌握一定的语法知识。
语法知识在语言学习中起着举足轻重的作用,教师要教授给学生基本的语法知识,以便学生在阅读中遇到一些长句、难句,能够准确地理解。
3、广泛阅读。
要提高阅读能力,只读教材上的阅读材料是远远不够的,阅读能力的提高必须建立在广泛的阅读基础之上。
在授课过程中,我给学生选择了一些难易适当、能体现英语国家语言文化的,涉及当今热门话题的短文给学生阅读,这样不仅扩大了学生的阅读量,同时还激发了学生的阅读兴趣,学生的阅读能力提高了不少。
浅析如何培养高中学生的英语阅读能力摘要:结合高中英语阅读教学的实践与研究,根据学生实际和高中英语新教材的特点,遵循阅读教学的原则、方法和策略,就如何培养学生的阅读能力提出有效的训练方法和能力培养,力争通过阅读能力的培养达到提高英语教学质量,以此作为培养学生听说读写的综合能力关键词:阅读教学;教学原则;阅读方法;训练策略;能力培养高中英语阅读教学是高中英语教学的重要内容,全日制普通高级中学英语教学大纲中明确指出“全日制高级中学英语教学的目的是在义务教育初中英语教学的基础上使学生巩固、扩大基础知识和发展听、说、读、写的基本技能,提高初步运用英语进行交际和培养阅读能力”。
由此可以看出,高中英语阅读教学必须符合学生学习语言的发展规律,真正将阅读能力的培养作为英语教学的有效途径。
为此,我们应在英语阅读教学中大力培养学生的各种自主学习能力,在教学中有所发现、有所创新。
充分利用科学理论,教学研究和学法指导,因材施教,激发学生的各种潜能,提高英语阅读教学效果。
目前,我国基础教育正处于由应试教育向素质教育转轨的重要时期。
素质教育就是要全面贯彻教育方针,全面提高学生的综合素质。
但长期以来英语教学处于滞后状态,面临严峻挑战,“费时过多,效益较底”的境况困扰着每一位英语教师。
传统的英语教育因知识总量的迅速增加,知识更新周期不断缩短,学校与社会脱节的“封闭教育”、学校片面追求升学率的“应试教育”,以及重理论轻实践的“高分低能教育”都对人才的培养有着较大的阻碍作用。
在英语阅读教学活动中只注重知识的讲解而忽视学生能力的培养,学生的主体地位无法得到体现,老师教学方法单一,缺少启发引导和自主创新形式,无法培养学生的学习兴趣及调动他们的主动性,积极性,更无利于学生自主发展和独立人格意识的形成。
因此,结合我校处于城乡结合部的实际情况,我们应该积极探索结合自身实际的阅读教学方法与课程改革相配合,挖掘学生的各种潜能。
实施基础教育课程改革,运用科学的教学方法,精心设计课堂教学,构建全新的教学模式,有助于提高英语阅读教学效果。
研究高中学生英语阅读内容摘要:阅读的过程是对语言的认知过程,阅读有助于巩固和扩大词汇、丰富语言知识、提高运用语言的能力。
阅读可以训练思维能力、理解能力、概括能力与判断能力。
“侧重培养阅读能力”是教学大纲规定的高中英语教学目的之一,是培养学生理解和运用英语技能的一个基本方法,又是落实交际实践性的主要途径。
英语阅读就是读者利用相关的英语知识和非英语知识去解读包含一定英语知识和非英语知识的阅读材料。
英语知识是指读者英语语音、词汇、语法以及篇章知识的总和非英语知识是指读者英语知识以外的背景知识,即直接或间接获取的知识经验的总和。
加强阅读训练可以为学生创造大量获取语言知识和大量运用语言的机会和条件。
在课内外的阅读中既可培养学生对语篇进行分析、综合并从中获得信息的能力,也能培养学生的审美情趣,学会欣赏英语文学作品的美,通过自然渗透,陶冶学生良好的情操。
通过广泛的阅读,不仅有利于学生扩大词汇量,丰富语言,开阔视野,开拓思路,还有利于学生了解英美民族的文化背景、生活、习俗、思维习惯及英语特有的语言表达方式,从而提高阅读理解能力和英语运用能力。
学生学到的知识不断出现,反复循环,因而对知识的理解进一步加深,记忆更加牢固了,同时学生从阅读材料中获得诸如语言背景、生活习俗、风土人情等文化信息,开阔了视野,增长了见识。
在阅读过程中,学生摸索阅读技巧,积累阅读经验,他们的理解能力和直接应用能力不断得到训练和提高。
我们在实际教学中尽量做到课文阅读训练与课外阅读指导相结合,课外精读和课外泛读相结合。
由于学生在阅读中扩大了眼界,增长了知识,英语知识水平得到了强化和巩固,进一步开发了智力,而智力的开发又激发了学生的兴趣、意志和动机等非智力因素,促使自己去阅读更多的课外读物。
授之以鱼,不如授之以渔。
现代教育更重视培养学生的自我发展能力,这就要求教师不仅要教学生“学会”,而且还要教学生“会学”。
要用各种方法教会学生“怎样学”,使学生具备学习和运用英语的能力。
高中英语阅读训练之我见英语阅读训练是高中英语教学的重头戏,是高质量完成高中英语教学的根本保证,在阅读上有没有优势是学生能否取得好成绩的关键,因此,研究阅读教学提高学生的阅读成绩,是至关重要的。
我是从以下几个方面着手的:一.过好词汇关,夯实阅读基础,为阅读扫除障碍。
词汇能力是阅读训练的前提条件,学生词汇量不达标是当前阅读训练效率低的主要原因之一。
要做到这一点,除要求学生记住高考词汇表上的词汇外,我还增加课外阅读量,精心挑选各种题材的阅读材料,领着学生做,扩大他们的词汇量。
我每天都布置几个单词让学生记,随时提问,重复记忆,这样日积月累,学生的词汇量明显提高。
二.注重阅读方法的指导。
对于客观问题的类型,如:when/who/where/why/what/which等的问题,有时不必细读文本,用略读的方法即能找到答案,学生还应对材料中的数字、事实、物体及部分与部分的关系、时间关系、地点关系,并列和从属关系给予足够的注意。
附:book 1 module 6 阅读理解问答题:(1). what is the internet?(2). how did it start?(3). what is the world wide web?(4). who invented it?(5). when was it invented?(6). where did berners-lee come up with the idea of world wide web?(7). how many people are the internet users now?(8). is berners-lee a millionaire?(9). where does he work now?(10). what have you learned from the lesson?对于主观的问题类型,通常不能直接从文中找到答案,必须经过作者的意图、态度以及对整篇文章进行深一层的推理和判断才能回答。
高中英语阅读技巧
一、通过多种途径,增加学生的词汇量
多年的英语教学使我认识到,学生阅读存在障碍,最基本、最直接的原因在于学生的词汇量不够,他们无法理解阅读文章所传达的信息。
因此,扩大词汇量成为解决学生阅读问题的一个重要部分。
如何扩大词汇量呢?
1.学生必须有识记单词的意识。
学生可以给自己定一个计划,每天必须背下来15-20
个新单词,这个任务可以在早晨晨读的时间完成,当然也可以留在课后,日积月累,逐渐地词汇量就会增加上来。
2.利用好闲散的时间,学生可将单词记在卡片上,随身携带,随时随地都可以拿出来,这样单词背得就更加扎实了。
3.单词背诵要讲究方法。
学生可以在具体的语言环境,例如具体的句子或段落中来记忆单词,这样不仅能将单词的意思记下来,更能掌握该单词的用法。
同时,学生要了解一些基本的构词法,因为很多英语单词都是由加了前缀和后缀而变来的派生词。
因此,教师要向学生多介绍一些前缀和后缀的知识,如否定前缀in-、un-、dis-、il-,动词后缀-en、-ify,名词后缀-ness、-tion、-sion、-ment,形容词后缀-ful、-less、-ive等。
单词的背诵要采取联想的方法,如同义词、近义词、反义词等,背到单词“gain”时,我们就会想到“win、obtain、ac-quire”等单词。
二、在教学过程中传授学生阅读方法,培养阅读技巧
在语篇阅读过程中,困扰学生的不仅仅是词汇的问题。
有的学生词汇量已经达到了一定的程度,但是面对一篇阅读材料时却一脸茫然,不知道从哪里下手,对文章的分析和理解也不够透彻,甚至会脱离作者的观点,时间浪费了很多,却没有达到应有的效果。
其实阅读是有法可循的,只要按照正确的方法去阅读,学生定会达到事半功倍的效果。
那么怎么做呢?
1.指导学生锁定文章的主题段及主题句。
多数情况下,一篇文章的主题段往往位于一篇文章首段或尾段,而文章每一段的第一句或最后一句又往往是该段的中心句。
把握文章的主题段和主题句后,对文章的体裁、题材以及文章的中心思想会有一个整体的把握,有助于增加学生的自信,为下一步展开阅读做好铺垫。
2.培养学生查找关键词的能力。
阅读文章的时候,一定不要把注意力平均到每个词或短语上,因为每一篇文章都有一些重要的词或短语,这些词或短语更有助于我们理清文章的脉络、线索,所以我们必须有查找关键词的能力,如叙述类文章里time、place、person等就是关键词,要好好把握。
3.培养学生的推理能力。
学生所接触到的阅读题,并不仅仅只是那些停留在阅读材料表面上的东西,有一些东西需要在对材料理解的基础上进行逻辑推理,这就要求学生必须把握好表示逻辑关系标志的词,如although、de-spite、but、whereas等,通过逻辑词来理清段与段、句与句的逻辑关系,达到更好推理的目的。
4.培养学生猜词的能力。
高考阅读题中并不是所有的单词或短语考生都能认识,有一些单词不影响学生对文章的理解,但有些单词或短语则要求考生必须通过上下文猜测其含义,否则会影响学生对文章的理解。
这就要求学生在阅读过程中养成猜测词义的习惯,阅读过程中通过上下文中的同义词、关联词、解释等信息,恰当地猜测出词或短语的意思。
5.对学生进行限时阅读训练。
有些学生存在着做阅读题慢,效率低而且准确率不高的现象。
教师可以给学生300词左右的文章,要求在8分钟时间内完成,当然时间也可根据材料的难易而调整,这样可以使学生做阅读时更加集中注意力,提高速度和准确率。
三、鼓励学生做适当的课外阅读
众所周知,英语的语感是经过长期的反复的实践才形成的,读得多,知道的就越多,阅读能力提高的就越快。
所以,教师平时应鼓励学生进行广泛的阅读,但同时也要注意一些问题。
首先,阅读材料选取时难易要适中,材料太简单,达不到阅读训练的效果,材料太难,学生读起来费力,会使学生失去阅读的兴趣,有害而无益。
一般情况下,选择生词率在3%-4%为益,以后随着阅读能力的提高逐渐增加生词率。
其次,阅读材料获取的途径要广泛。
可以是来源于网络、英语期刊、英文报纸杂志等等,体裁可以是记叙文、议论文、说明文、也可是应用文,选材可以是小说、寓言、科普,也可是新闻时事性文章。
简而言之,就是要选取那些能够极大调动学生学习主动性的文章,从而提高学生的阅读能力。
四、总结
总之,学生英语阅读能力的提高是一个长期的、逐渐的过程,只有课上充分利用好教材,不断地扩大词汇量,注重阅读方法和技巧,课后进行大量的阅读,学生就一定会攻克阅读的难关,享受阅读理解给英语学习带来的乐趣。
