第四节行为—认知学习理论案例分析【案例一】英语比较级和最高级的教学教师通过实物比较（三个球）给出版书例句：The basketball is bigger (than the football.)（比较级）The table tennis ball is the smallest of the three.（最高级）What about the basketball? It's the biggest of the three. （最高级）然后让学生以组的形式做对话练习：Model 1A: Is "Micky Mouse and Donald Duck" the best of all these cartoons?B: Yes, it is.Model 2 A: Are whales the biggest animals in the world?B: Yes, it is .练习结束后，让学生发现比较级和最高级的用法。

......听到指令后，有的学生立刻开始讨论，有的盯着黑板上的例句思索。

我在几个小组间巡视，听见有一部分学生说“最高级表示三者间的比较”。

我想他们可能受到我引入时举的例子都是三个的影响了。

于是我叫这几位同学看操练过的句型2，并很夸张地把例句中的“of all these cartoons, in the world“读出来。

反应快的学生马上兴奋地叫起来，“对，不光是三者，三者以上也可以的！”见别人仍茫然不解，便迫不及待地替他解释。

Cool, right?Blue whales are really big, like super big! They can grow up to 100 feet long and weigh as much as 200 tons. That's like the weight of 33 elephants! They are also super fast swimmers, reaching speeds up to 30 miles per hour. They are like the superheroes of the ocean!Blue whales eat tiny shrimp-like animals called krill. They can eat up to 4 tons of krill in just one day! That's a lot of food. They use special plates in their mouth called baleen to filter out the water and keep the krill inside.Even though they are huge, blue whales are gentle giant. They are very friendly and calm animals. They like to swim in groups called pods and they communicate with each other using low-frequency sounds that can travel long distances in the ocean.But, sadly, blue whales are endangered. That means there are not as many of them as there used to be. They are often hunted for their blubber, oil, and bones. We need to protect these amazing creatures and make sure they are safe in their home, the ocean.So, let's all do our part to help blue whales and all the other animals in the ocean. They are really important to our planet and we need to take care of them. Go blue whales!篇2Hey guys, do you know about blue whales? They are like the biggest animals in the whole wide world!

That's faster than a car on the highway. They can dive super deep too, like 1,000 feet deep! They are like the superheroes of the ocean.But you know what? Blue whales are in danger. People used to hunt them for their blubber and oil, but now they are protected. We need to take care of these amazing creatures so they can keep swimming in the ocean for a long time.So next time you see a blue whale on TV or in a book, remember how awesome they are and how important it is to protect them.

They even sing songs to each other using special sounds that can travel for miles and miles under the water.But did you know that blue whales are also endangered? That means there are not as many of them left in the world. We need to make sure we protect these amazing creatures so they can continue to swim in the ocean for many more years to come.So remember, blue whales are the biggest, most amazing animals in the world. Let's do our part to keep them safe and happy in their big blue home. Thank you for listening!篇5Once upon a time, in the big blue ocean, there lived a huge and majestic creature called the blue whale. The blue whale was the biggest animal in the world, even bigger than dinosaurs! It was so cool and awesome!The blue whale loved to swim and play in the ocean with its friends. It would swim for miles and miles, leaping out of the water and splashing around. Sometimes, it would even sing beautiful songs that could be heard for miles underwater. Its friends, like dolphins and sea turtles, loved to listen to its songs and play games with it.The blue whale was also very friendly and kind. It would always help other animals in the ocean when they were in trouble. Whether it was a lost fish or a stranded seal, the blue whale would come to the rescue and make sure they were safe.But sometimes, the blue whale would also face dangers in the ocean. Sometimes, it would get caught in fishing nets or hit by ships. It was very sad when this happened, but the blue whale knew it was important to stay strong and keep on swimming.Overall, the blue whale was a wonderful creature that brought joy and happiness to the ocean. It was a true king of the sea, admired by all the creatures that lived in the deep bluewaters. And so, the blue whale continued to swim and play, spreading its love and friendship wherever it went.篇6Hey guys, do you know about blue whales? They are the biggest animals in the whole wide world! Today, I'm going to tell you all about these amazing creatures.First of all, did you know that blue whales are the largest animals on Earth? They can grow up to a whopping 100 feet long and weigh as much as 200 tons! That's like 25 elephants put together. Wow, that's super big!Blue whales are also super cool because they are marine mammals, which means they breathe air just like us. They have to come up to the surface of the water every so often to take a breath. And get this – their spouts can shoot water up to 30 feet in the air! How awesome is that?Another interesting thing about blue whales is that they eat tiny shrimp-like animals called krill. They can eat up to 4 tons of krill every single day! That's a whole lot of food. And did you know that their tongues alone can weigh as much as an elephant? Imagine having a tongue that big!But as amazing as blue whales are, they are also in danger. Their population has been decreasing because of things like pollution and getting hit by ships. So, let's all do our part to protect these incredible creatures and keep them safe in the ocean.So, next time you think about blue whales, remember how big, cool, and important they are. Let's make sure they stay around for a long, long time!。

I was a young boy and had been sleeping deeply a few seconds before. The light rain that was falling when I went to sleep, however, had turned into a big and noisy storm while I dreamed. The lightning (闪电) that had just hit felt like it was right outside my window. It took me a long time to fall back asleep again.The next day I walked out to a small spring about 50 yards from our home and saw where the lightning had hit. It had hit an Oak tree seriously. I felt bad for the tree, knowing that it was completely destroyed (毁坏). The next year, though, I noticed that the tree hadn’t died. In fact, it had fresh, new, green leaves growing on it and the burnt parts of the tree was starting to grow back too. I was amazed at this growing tree and couldn’t believe that it still grew after such a hard hit.Now, I’m an adult. Recently, I was reading something that threw fresh light on that tree. It was a scientific study that showed that the forest floor is all connected as a whole. When one tree is hurt, he other trees will share their own nutrients (营养) to keep it alive and growing throughtheir root system (根系). Reading this made me smile.Looking back at my own life, I see that I have taken quite a few lightning hits as well. Yet, through them all, I have felt the love of those around me. I doubt if even the strongest tree could stand what each of us goes through in this life. Thankfully, we aren’t alone. We are a part of a loving forest. And when one of us gets hurt, others are always there to help us recover. We aren’t meant to stand alone.4．What happened to the author that night when he was young?A．He had a bad dream.B．He got caught in a storm.C．He couldn’t sleep all night.D．He was woken up by a loud noise. 5．What surprised the author very much?A．The great power of a storm.B．The discovery of a small spring.C．The strong life force of the tree.D．The secret of the tree’s root system. 6．What does the scientific study show about trees in a forest?A．They can communicate with each other like humans.B．They share nutrients with each other when one is hurt.C．They have strong roots that keep them from any storm.D．They can grow fast because they are connected together.7．What does the text want to tell us?A．Love makes the world go round.B．No pains, no gains.C．He who plants a tree plants hope.D．A candle lights others and burns itself.Ma Myung-sun didn’t expect much from the bananas he planted on a farm in Seoul. He must use a greenhouse for part of the year to protect the bananas from South Korea’s cold winters. But warmer temperatures because of climate (气候) change have produced a welcome surprise in the form of flowers and fruit.The land area where tropical crops (热带作物) are grown in South Korea has increased from about 295 hectares (公顷) in 2021 to 3,306 hectares in 2023. There are 67 banana farms in the south. And Ma is among a growing number of farmers experimenting with crops usually grown in a warmer climate.“I want to try growing other tropical crops too. So, as you can see here, I have planted thesepapaya trees as well,” Ma said, pointing to a small papaya plant.Ma opened up part of his family’s farm to people from the city in 2006. He is happy about his small success but he worries about what it means for the climate. “I feel that the climate problem has become very serious,” said Ma, who has been a farmer for 25 years.South Korea lies in the temperate zone and has four seasons. But its climate appears to be getting warmer and wetter throughout the year. The average (平均的) yearly temperature has been continually rising. The average temperature of 13.7 degrees Celsius last year was the highest since its records began in 1973.Rainfall during last year’s rainy season was 660.2mm nationwide, nearly two times the 356.7 mm annual average figure. South Korea’ s climate conditions are becoming more like those of tropical areas, so farming experts say it is important for farmers to find the right crop types for the climate.Tropical fruits are usually expensive in South Korea, so shoppers should welcome the less costly local produce. “My kids love bananas. So, it would be good if we can buy bananas grown in our own country,” said Kim Ji-youn, who was buying imported (进口的) bananas in a Seoul supermarket.8．What’s the influence of climate change on Ma’s farm?A．The area where crops can be planted has become smaller.B．It has required him to water the crops more often.C．It has made it possible to grow some tropical crops.D．The farm’s production of traditional crops has dropped.9．What are South Korean farmers advised to do?A．Improve traditional crops.B．Choose proper crops to grow.C．Pay attention to climate change.D．Plant crops in the rainy seasons. 10．What can we know from the last paragraph?A．South Korea has to import fruit every year.B．Tropical fruit is difficult to sell in South Korea.C．Bananas grown in South Korea may be welcome.D．Local produce is of higher quality than imported products.11．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．Lasting Weather Changes Cause Farmers’ WorryB．People in South Korea Get Better Tropical FruitC．Rising Temperatures Harm Traditional Farm Crops UnexpectedlyD．South Korean Farmers Try Growing Bananas in Warmer WeatherTeachers in many English classes across America are having students read fewer full-length (标准长度的) books. Scientists probed the problem in education not long ago.They report that students are given only short parts of books. Educators said this is because they believe today’s students have shorter attention lengths than those of the past. The teachers might feel stressed to prepare students for state and nationwide examinations known as standardized tests. They also might believe that short pieces of writing will help students in the modern world.The National Council of Teachers of English (NCTE) is a professional organization for teachers based in Champaign, Illinois. In 2022, the group made a statement about reading. “It is time to make reading and writing the height of English language arts education,” the group said.Seth French helped write the statement. He said the idea was not to take away books but to teach media literacy and have students read things in which they are interested. French used to teach an English class. He had students read plays, poems, and articles but only one book as a class. He said, “A lot of our students are not interested in some of these texts that they didn’ t have a choice in.”Maryanne Wolf studies the human brain at UCLA in Southern California. Wolf said deep reading is important to make connections stronger in the brain tied to critical (批判性的) thinking skills, background knowledge and empathy.Terri White teaches at South Windsor High School in Connecticut. White no longer assigns (布置) the book To Kill a Mockingbird to her class. She assigns about one-third of the book and provides a very short part of the rest of the book. White says the reason is that the class has to move quickly so she can teach all the required materials (材料).White also gives less homework because students have sports and other activities. She said she wanted her class to be“more about helping students become stronger and more critical readers, writers and thinkers, while taking their social-emotional well-being into consideration.”12．What does the underlined word“probed” in paragraph 1 mean?A．Recorded.B．Examined.C．Designed.D．Doubted. 13．What is paragraph 2 mainly about?A．Teachers’ difficulty in teaching.B．Effects of nationwide examinations.C．The necessity for students’ writing short pieces.D．The reasons for students’ reading fewer full-length books.14．What did the NCTE suggest in its statement?A．Controlling the number of books students read.B．Choosing some materials attractive to students.C．Teaching short materials like poems only.D．Assigning more short pieces of writing.15．Why does White deal with the book To Kill a Mockingbird that way?A．She wants to save some time.B．The book doesn’t attract her students.C．She expects her students to better understand the book.D．It is difficult for her to find enough materials about the book.Are you a student who always feels stressed? If the answer is yes, you are not alone. School can be stressful unless you know how to manage your stress.Learn to deal with your tasks.16 But the biggest one is the tasks and learning materials students need to deal with continually. This is why one of the simplest ways to reduce (减少) stress for students is to deal with some of the work. The best choice for students is the job writing service Edubirdie. At the company, students can find expert writers who will take over some of their tasks.Make changes in your food.Stress management for students starts with what they eat. This might come as a surprise.17 What you need to manage stress and keep yourself focused on (专注于) your school tasks is a proper diet. We are talking about food rich in vegetables, fruits, meat and whole grains.Find a way to exercise properly.When asked why they aren’t exercising often, most students say that they don’t have the time or energy for it. 18 And the best part is, you don’t need to exercise for hours every day. You can try easier activities. For example, after a long day of study, taking a walk at night can make up your energy. Take the stairs instead of the lift every day. 19Don’t cut down on your sleep.When you are too worried, you cannot act at your best. The tasks have taken you more time than they should, and you simply have no time left to study or write. When this happens, most students will reduce their sleep to focus on their duties. 20 If you keep reducing sleep, this will make you more worried.A．This is a great mistake.B．Walk to school or other places.C．Ty to avoid fatty food and sugar.D．School is stressful for a number of reasons.E．But your food is one of the keys to your energy levels.F．But exercise is what will actually raise your energy levels.G．In this way, you can have enough time to party with friends.二、完形填空I just finished filling my cart (购物车) in the supermarket.

She pointed to the woman, who was now making her way out of the supermarket.29 , I dropped my things and tried to catch up with her, saying, “You needn’t have done this. It’s okay. I can still put them back.” She 30 said, “Pay it forward one day, when you can.”Those words moved me deeply. I hugged (拥抱) her and 31 her.
