Thankful to Know

Thankful to know when the landscape is shining,

When warm winds are blowing

And nature is fair,

Thankful to find that your smile is still glowing,

Thankful to know that your music is there.

Thankful to know when the night sky is gleaming

And breezes are colder

But sweeten the air,

Thankful to feel your strong hand on my shoulder,

Thankful to know that you always will care.

Thankful to know when the morning comes calling,

The world reemerges

And moves everywhere,

As I am driven by all of its surges,

Thankful you steady the life that we share.

Thankful to know as the years lie before us

Love is a fabric

That nothing can tear.

As you transform ordinary to magic,

Thankful to know that you?ll always be there.

Pizza and Comprehension

“Perry?s Pepper Pizza Parlor!” Perry said. “May I help you?”

“Yes, I?d like to order a large pepper pepperoni pizza with hot peppers and green peppers,” said the lady on the other end of the phone.

“Is that all, ma?am?” a sked Perry.

“Yes, but please put the hot peppers on half the pizza and the green peppers on both halves.”

“Also, I?d like the pepperoni on the hot pepper part but not on the green pepper part.”

“But didn?t you say you wanted the green peppers on both parts?”

“That?s right,” the lady replied.

“That?s not possible!” Perry pronounced.

“Why can?t I have green peppers on the whole pizza?”

“I mean the pepperoni part.”

“I don?t see why pepperoni placement is so difficult,” the lady said. “But if that?s too much trouble, just put the pepperoni on the whole pizza!” she added impatiently.

Perry sighed. “That will be twelve dollars and fourteen cents.”

“Can you deliver my pizza?”

“Sure can. What?s your address?”

“There?s no number, but I live on Forestview Road.”

“Can you help me a little more than that?” Perry asked, trying to be as pleasant as possible.

“I live in a white trailer with a pickup truck in the driveway,” responded the lady.

Perry wanted to scream, “So does everyone else in this county!” but he restrained himself. “Can you give me a little more help than that?” he asked calmly.

“Yes, there is no blue picket fence in front of our home,” said the lady.

“Are there blue picket fences in front of all the other homes on your road?”

“No, silly, but we used to have one a few years ago. Just look for the home that doesn?t have one there anymore.”

Perry began to dream about e arly retirement. “I?m kind of confused,” he said in a shaky voice.

“No offense, sir,” the lady said, “but you do have a listening comprehension problem.”Underline every statement that must be true based on the selection.

6. The caller said that she lived on Forestview Road.

Half-Truths

Beware of those who use the truth to deceive. When someone tells you something that is true, but leaves out important information that should be included, he can create a false impression.

For example, someone might say, “I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery. It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!”

This guy’s a winner, right? May be, maybe not. We then discover that he bought two hundred tickets, and only one was a winner. He’s really a big loser!

He didn’t say anything that was false, but he deliberately omitted important information. That’s called a half-truth. Half-truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest.

Untrustworthy candidates in political campaigns often use this tactic. Let’s say that during Governor Smith’s last term, her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs. Then she seeks another term. One of her opponents runs an ad saying, “During Governor Smith’s term, the sate lost one million jobs!” That’s true. However an honest statement would have been, “During Governor Smith’s term, the state had a net gain of two million jobs.”

Advertisers will sometimes use half-t ruths. It’s against the law to make false claims so they try to mislead you with the truth. An ad might boast, “Nine out of ten doctors recommend Yucky Pills to cure nose pimples.” It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Corporation.

This kind of deception happens too often. It’s a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well.

1. Which statement is true according to the article?

a. Whenever people tell the truth, they are really lying.

b. You can’t trust gamblers.

c. All governors help their states.

d. The truth can be used in dishonest ways.

2. What does “deceive” mean?

a. removing one’s teeth in public

b. ignore warnings

c. fool

d. repair

3. What does “omitted” mean?

a. spent money

b. left out

c. told about

d. exposed

4. The author clearly wants people to _________.

a. think carefully about what they read and hear

b. wear mismatched socks during political campaigns

c. never trust anyone

d. vote for female candidates

5. Another appropriate title for this selection would be:

a. Natural Cat Food

b. Everyone Lies

c. Lying With the Truth

d. Nose Pimples

The Leader

Patient and steady with all he must bear,

Ready to meet every challenge with care,

Easy in manner, yet solid as steel,

Strong in his faith, refreshingly real,

Isn’t afraid to propose what is bold,

Doesn’t conform to the usual mold,

Eyes that have foresight, for hindsight won’t do,

Never backs down when he sees what is true,

Tells it all straight, and means it all too.

Going forward and knowing he’s right,

Even when doubted for why he would fight,

Over and over he makes his case clear

Reaching to touch the ones who won’t hear.

Growing in strength, he won’t be unnerved,

Ever assuring he’ll stand by his word.

Wanting the world to join his firm stand,

Bracing for war, but praying for peace,

Using his power so evil will cease:

So much a leader and worthy of trust,

Here stands a man who will do what he must.

RHL

The Leader

1. What are the qualities of a leader according to the author?

2. What qualities do you believe are important for a leader to possess?

3. Is the author referring to a specific person in this poem? If you think so, do you agree that he is a true leader?

4. Name someone who you believe is or was a great leader. Give your reasons. Note:The name President George W. Bush is spelled vertically down the left side of the poem.

I Build Walls

I build walls:

Walls that protect,

Walls that shield,

Walls that say I shall not yield

Or reveal

Who I am or how I feel.

I build walls:

Walls that hide,

Walls that cover what’s inside,

Walls that stare or smile or look away,

Silent lies,

Walls that even block my eyes

From the tears I might have cried.

I build walls:

Walls that never let me

Truly touch

Those I love so very much.

Walls that need to fall!

Walls meant to be fortresses

Are prisons after all.

In this poem, walls are not made of bricks or any physical materials. The author uses “walls” as a metaphor for someone hiding his feelings and thoughts from others and even from himself.

Why would someone build “walls” around his or her feelings?

Do you, or others you know, ever build such “walls”?

Does the narrator believe that it’s always a good idea to have these “walls”? How do you know?

Do you think that there are times when we need to “build walls”?

Mr. El and the Princess

“You should try one of these sundaes,” said Mr. Smitty.

Miss Joan nodded in agreement.

“I?ll get around to it,” Mr. El replied as he looked across the large Dairy Center tent. The three teachers were at their school?s Back to Sc hool Fair. It had grown into a major annual event, sort of a mini county fair.

“What are you staring at, Mr. El?” asked Miss Joan.

“I think I?ll stroll over there and talk to the County Dairy Princess,” Mr. El replied.

“She is beautiful,” Mr. Smitty remarked.

“I hadn?t noticed,” said Mr. El, trying not to smile.

Miss Joan rolled her eyes.

“Actually, my interest in her is purely professional,” Mr. El stated. “I might learn something about the dairy industry that I can share with my fourth graders.”

Mr. Smitty broke in, “Besides, he likes that new resource teacher, Miss Cheryl.”

“Miss Cheryl is kind of cute,” Mr. El admitted. “I like the way her eyes cross when she?s annoyed.”

“Why is it that you know how everyone looks when they?re annoyed?” Miss Joan asked.

Mr. El chose to ignore the question. “I?ll be right back,” he said as he walked toward the dairy princess.

Miss Joan and Mr. Smitty relaxed on a bench as they enjoyed their sundaes and watched Mr. El approach the princess.

Mr. El and the young lady seemed to be having a pleasant conversation when suddenly the princess walked away with a much less than pleasant expression on her face.

When Mr. El rejoined his friends, Miss Joan could not contain herself. “I?d give a million dollars to know what you said to her!” she exclaimed.

“You don?t have a million dollars,” Mr. El responded.

“I?ll buy you one of these giant hot fudge sundaes for the story,” Mr. Smitty proposed.

“Deal!” said Mr. El. “I was asking her what qualities the judges look for in choosing a dairy princess.”

“And?” Miss Joan demanded.

“Well it just goes to prove that a sense of humor isn?t one of the requirements,” Mr. El replied.

“What did you say?” Miss Joan asked with that “What terrible thing have you done?” look that she did so well.

“Just to add a little levity to the conversation,” Mr. El went on, “I asked her if looking like a cow was one considerati on.”

“You did what?!” Miss Joan practically screamed.

“I think this is worth a double hot fudge sundae!” M r. Smitty announced.

“I thought she?d know I was kidding,” Mr. El stated. “I say stuff like that to my students all the time and they know I?m kidding.”

“That?s because they?ve learned not to take you seriously,” Miss Joan said.

“Well this girl, who?s at least twice the age of my fourth graders, ought to know that she doesn?t look anything like a cow. You can?t win a competition to be a princess of any kind without knowing that you?re smart and good looking.”

“Maybe she thinks that you think that she looks like a cow,” Mr. Smitty offered.

“Why would she care?” Mr. El countered.

“Good question,”said Miss Joan. “But don?t you see the damage you?ve done?” she added.

“Damage, what damage?” asked Mr. El.

“Up until today she was a self-confident young woman, destined for greatness. She might have become a scientist whose inventions would have saved millions of lives. She might have gone on to be a great leader who would bring pe ace and prosperity to the whole world!” Miss Joan paused to catch her breath. “But now,” she continued, “she?ll spend the rest of her miserable existence hiding her face. She?ll live her entire life wearing a character costume at some amusement park so that no one will ever gaze upon her cowlike features! And needless to say, she?ll never save the world!”

“You could just go over there and apologize,” Mr. Smitty suggested.

“That might just make things worse,” said Mr. El. “In a few minutes she?ll forget I exist; she?ll forget what I said, and she can go on to save the world.”

“I?ll have my sundae now,” Mr. El reminded Mr. Smitty. “Didn?t I hear …double hot fudge??”

As Mr. Smitty walked off to buy the sundae, Mr. Kay, the principal, came by. “Mr. El,” he said, “I have a nice surprise for you. I?ve lined up your student teacher for this fall. Her name is Miss Lee. She?s already a very accomplished young lady. In fact, you may have noticed her at the fair.”

“She?s here? I?d like to meet her,” said Mr. El.

“That?s her over there,” Mr. Kay said. “She?s wearing that shiny little crown.”

“You mean that Dairy Princess crown?” asked Mr. El.

“That?s her,” said Mr. Kay.

Miss Joan, who couldn?t help hearing the conversation, had a broad smile on her face. Mr. El was not smiling.

“Excuse me,” said Mr. El, “I have to rush to my room and prepare a lesson plan!”

“A lesson plan?” asked the principal.

“Yes,” sighed Mr. El, “A lesson about thinking before speaking.”

For Discussion:

1. What lesson did Mr. El learn from his experience?

2. Can you think of any examples of someone making a similar mistake?

3. Do you think that it?s always possible to know how someone will react to something you say? Word Meanings From Context

高中英语阅读能力的培养分析

高中英语阅读能力的培养分析 摘要:在高中英语的学习过程中,学生的阅读能力起着关键性的作用。在阅读学习过程中会涉及词汇的学习、语法学习以及阅读习惯等等,主要从四方面分析了如何提高高中生的英语阅读能力。 关键词:高中英语;阅读能力;文化知识 高中英语的学习中阅读能力主要指的是对语言文化的学习、获取外部信息的学习以及提高语言实践能力的学习。从高中英语的学习大纲中分析,它明确要求要提高学生的阅读能力,为进一步的学习打下扎实的基础。从学生的成绩方面进行分析,在高中英语的考试中,阅读成绩占有很大的比重。在现阶段的高中英语学习过程中,主要是对语言形式的学习,很少涉及阅读技巧的学习。如今的高中生在阅读中存在很大的问题,主要表现为阅读速度慢、理解能力差等。在教学中教师要提出有针对性的策略,帮助学生提高英语阅读能力。 一、重视词汇学习和词汇积累 在阅读中阅读能力的高低和词汇量具有很大的关系。现阶段的高中生英语词汇量稀少,在阅读过程中都不能将句子正确地翻译出来,会曲解文章的主要含义。在学习词汇的过程中学生不应单纯地死记硬背,而要讲究记忆的方法技

巧。词汇中有很多合成词和派生词,在具体的学习中只要记住自由词汇的含义也就等于学会了更多的词汇。在英语中还有很多是由单词主体和前缀、后缀构成的,在学习过程中只要掌握了这些前后缀,就等于学习了更多的词汇。 二、掌握必要的语法知识 在现如今的高中英语阅读中,句子的结构比以前的结构更加复杂,并且变得越来越长,所以,在分析句子的过程中只有掌握了必须的语法知识才能将复杂的句子简单化,将长句子变为短句子。例如,在遇到长句子时,句子中有很多陌生的单词,这就要发挥语法知识的作用。在高中英语中我们会学习到八种时态,包括一般现在时,现在进行时,一般将来时,过去将来时等等。句子还包括简单句、复杂句。在复杂句子中还有主语从句、宾语从句、表语从句等等。要想把握句子的整体含义,就要将句子的各个部分都分析清楚。 三、联系必要的文化知识 学生在学习过程中除了要学习必要的理论知识外,还要了解必要的文化背景知识和生活常识。在高中英语的学习中,会涉及很多西方的背景知识,例如,西方的节日和西方的传统。在阅读中会出现Easterisland(复活岛)等专有名词,当然还有可能包括一些书籍名称,在了解之后学习会变得更加简单。 四、培养良好的阅读习惯

如何培养学生英语阅读理解能力

如何培养学生英语阅读理解能力 阅读一直是英语教学中的一个重要环节。从句子到段落,从段落到文章的理解都要通过仔细阅读来完成。培养学生阅读理解能力一直是英语教学的目标之一。下面就如何培养中学生阅读理解能力提出个人的看法: 一、提高学习兴趣 俗话说:兴趣是最好的老师。只有引起学生浓厚的兴趣,才能取得良好的学习效果。 在教学开始时,我给每个学生起一个英文名,学生们很好奇,也很乐意自己拥有了新名字。无论是课上还是课下我都叫他们的英文名。在教学过程中,我认真研读教材,精心设计语言情景,通过学唱英文歌曲、竞猜、抢答、表演等形式组织好课堂教学,有时自编的小品都取材于班真人真事,让本人表演。我还专门成立了一个编剧小组,让他们积累素材。课堂教学的多样性,充分满足了学生的好奇心理,寓教于乐,学生不会生厌,让他们参与其中,充分发挥学生学习的主动性。 二、扩大词汇量 词汇量的大小直接影响学生的理解和阅读速度。扩大词汇量是提高阅读能力的重要前提。所以,对于每个英语学习者,都要

熟练掌握一定量的词,才能更好地进行阅读。词汇量的获得,首先是课本上的必须掌握。在记单词时不要单独记生词,那样很容易忘,最好把它放在句子或文章中一起记忆。把单词同整句话一起记,不仅记住了单词的意思,也记住了它的用法。其次,广泛阅读是扩大词汇量的一种非常有效的手段。在泛读时不要求对容完全掌握,能看懂、能接受信息、进行简单总结,能就所读容进行问答就行。广泛阅读可以是老师向学生指定阅读材料,然后统一检查、提问。也可以是学生自己阅读,老师不可以撒手不管,放任自流,在读物选择方面老师应给予指导,作到有布置、有指导、有检查。可以让学生们通过比赛看书多少、难易程度、词汇量的大小来激发读书的乐趣。 三、养成良好阅读习惯 良好的阅读习惯是提高阅读能力的前提,不同的阅读方法会产生不同的结果。良好的阅读习惯应该是:1. 不要出声读或指读,要默读。出声读和指读都会分散注意力,限制阅读速度。默读可以集脑,边读边想,可设问、可推测。2. 不要逐字逐句地读,要以意群或句子为单位。逐字逐句地阅读过多地把注意力放在单词上,不仅影响阅读速度,而且不容易抓住文章的中心大意。 3. 不要重复阅读,这样影响理解力的集中,减慢阅读速度,因此会挫伤学生的阅读兴趣。要调用自己的全部知识和智慧,一口气越障碍看到底。 4. 不要一见生词就查字典,要养成根据上下

浅谈“学生英语阅读能力”的培养 发表时间:2016-04-08T11:01:01.997Z 来源:《中小学教育》2016年2月总第233期作者:史雪梅 [导读] 山东省栖霞市第一中学虽然听说读写环环相扣,但是阅读在英语学习中尤为重要。 山东省栖霞市第一中学265300 大家都知道阅读在英语教学中起着举足轻重的作用。首先,阅读是掌握和记忆英语单词的最佳手段;其次,阅读可以提高写作能力、分析能力,而且有助于口语和听力水平的提高。虽然听说读写环环相扣,但是阅读在英语学习中尤为重要。我们可以尝试以下做法:一、精选阅读材料,消除学生的恐惧心理 在阅读能力的训练过程中,要遵循循序渐进的原则。因此在选取阅读材料上一定要把握难易度,不可以没有挑战性但绝对不可以太难。要从高一开始严抓学生的阅读基本功,选择材料时做到由浅入深、由易到难,逐步克服学生害怕阅读的心理障碍,从而不断扩大学生的知识面,极大地提高学生的阅读兴趣,为提高学生的阅读能力打下基础。 阅读材料的内容应题材广泛、趣味性强,其目的是让学生体验到阅读给他们带来的快乐和愉悦,从而激发他们的阅读动机。所以阅读材料要有趣味性,如果文章枯燥乏味,结果会适得其反。同时阅读材料的篇幅不宜过长,否则会影响学生的阅读积极性。只要学生能在较短的时间内完成阅读内容并且有所收获,他们就容易获得成就感,而这种成就感可以强化其阅读的兴趣。 二、精读和泛读相结合 阅读时我们要合理搭配精读和泛读。学生通过精读可以掌握英语的各项技能,所以精读是学生获得英语知识的重要来源。泛读的重点放在针对问题快速的捕捉信息上。主要考查如下:快速阅读,掌握其大意;猜测词义,对深层意思的理解。 首先,学生在归纳大意这方面存在严重的问题,我们可以在阅读中注重培养学生做到:分析标题,根据标题预测内容。 我们知道,文章的标题往往是文章的中心,但是标题的特点、形式不同,所以分析标题可以帮助学生建立文章的图式,也可以建立标题的图式。 其次,分析文章版式。 文章结构是体裁的主要标识,如散文、戏剧、诗歌就有着完全不同的结构。在阅读过程中,直接从文章结构把握图式,是非常重要的理解步骤。要分析章节、段落、语句、语词的关系,如有些从句的位置不影响从句的含义,但有些从句的位置则会直接影响语句的意义。 例如2009年北京卷D篇:When students and parents are asked to rate subjects according to their importance,the arts are unavoidably at the bottom of the list.Music is nice,people seem to say,but not important.Too often it is viewed as mere entainment,but certainly not an education priority(优先).This view is shortsighted.In fact,music education is beneficial and important for all students.… 71.What’s the main idea of the passage? A.Music education deserves more attintion. B.Music should be of top education priority. C.Music is an effective communication tool. D.Music education makes students more imaginative. 通过分析这篇文章,我们知道这是一篇开篇点题的文章,再根据作者的观点、态度,我们不难看出第一段的最后一句话是主题句。所以答案是A。 三、默读和朗读相结合 阅读还要包括默读和朗读。单一的默读和朗读都是不可取的,默读阅读速度快,但容易分散注意力;朗读速度慢,但有助于集中注意力。富有感情的朗读,使语言材料具有表现力、感染力,并且准确的发音有助于说出一口流利的英语,所以要两者兼用。 四、开展主题活动,丰富阅读教学 教材每个单元都安排了适当的、有代表力的阅读材料,教师要针对学生已有的阅读水平,有目的地合理组织与本单元话题相关的材料来丰富高中英语阅读教学。如课前的class report、学校广播、英语角等都是学生展示自我的很好的平台;另外,可通过阅读组织写作比赛、演讲比赛、写读后感、办手抄报等丰富多彩的活动来调动学生参与英语阅读的积极性。 五、健全评价机制,促进阅读效果 学生是懒惰的,如果缺少了督促,阅读就很难坚持下去。让学生独立阅读,但绝不是“放羊式”的阅读,而是要在教师有计划的指导下进行的课外阅读。所以,教师既要做好指导,又要进行有效评价和监督。 第一,为了让学生做好课外阅读,我们教师也要提高自身素质,博览群书,为学生树立良好的榜样。 第二,在平时的教学中,我们教师要对学生加强阅读的指导与监督。指导学生在阅读中做到: (1)摘抄:摘抄精彩的词句、片段、格言和警句等,为语言运用积累素材。 (2)列提纲:列出文章的主题、框架和故事梗概,培养学生的语篇分析能力。 (3)写读书体会:分析文章的思想内容、人物形象和语言特点,提高学生的鉴赏能力。 第三,要对学生的课外阅读有一个形成性的评价,要定期或不定期地进行朗读和阅读理解的检查,开展小组内讨论与评价,督促学生养成英语阅读的良好习惯。 总之,在学生高中阶段进行有计划、有目的的系统阅读训练,可以帮助学生掌握良好的阅读技巧和策略,为未来学习和运用英语打好基础。

大学英语B阅读理解练习题及答案

Passage 1 Many people who work in London prefer to live outside it, and to go in to their offices or schools every day by train, car or bus, even though this means they have to get up early in the morning and reach home late in the evening. One advantage of living outside London is that houses are cheaper. Even a small flat in London without a garden costs quite a lot to rent. With the same money, one can get a little house in the country with a garden of one’s own. Then, in the country one can really get away from the noise and hurry of busy working lives. Even though one has to get up earlier and spend more time in trains or buses, one can sleep better at night and during weekends and on summer evenings, one can enjoy the fresh, clean air of the countr y. If one likes garden, one can spend one’s free time digging, planting, watering and doing the hundred and one other jobs which are needed in a garden. Then, when the flowers and vegetables come up, one has got the reward together with those who have shared the secret of Nature. Some people, however, take no interest in country things: for them, happiness lies in the town, with its cinemas and theatres, beautiful shops and busy streets, dance-halls and restaurants. Such people would feel that their life was not worth living if they had to live it outside London. An occasional walk in one of the parks and a fortnight’s (two weeks) visit to the sea every summer is all the country they want: the rest they are quite prepared to leave to those who are glad to get away from London every night. 1. Which of the following statements is NOT true? A. People who love Nature prefer to live outside the city. B. All the people who work in London prefer to live in the country. C. Some people enjoying city life prefer to work and live inside London. D. Many nature lovers, though working in London, prefer to live outside. 2. With the same money needed for ________, one can buy a little house with a garden in the country. A. getting a small flat with a garden B. having a small flat with a garden C. renting a small flat without a garden D. buying a small flat without a garden 3. When the garden is in blossom, the one ________ has been rewarded. A. living in the country B. having spent time working in the garden. C. having a garden of his own. D. having been digging, planting and watering 4. People who think happiness lies in the city life would feel that ________ if they had to live outside London. A. their life was meaningless B. their life was invaluable C. they didn’t deserve a happy life D. they were not worthy of their happy life 5. The underlined phrase “get away from” in the 3rd paragraph refers to ________. A. deal with B. do away with C. escape from D. prevent from 很多在伦敦工作的人喜欢住在伦敦郊外,然后每天乘火车、汽车和公交车去上班或上学。这也就意味着他们不得不早出晚归。

如何培养学生英语阅读理解能力(1)

如何培养学生英语阅读理解能力阅读一直是英语教学中的一个重要环节。从句子到段落,从段落到文章的理解都要通过仔细阅读来完成。培养学生阅读理解能力一直是英语教学的目标之一。下面就如何培养中学生阅读理解能力提出个人的看法: 一、提高学习兴趣 俗话说:兴趣是最好的老师。只有引起学生浓厚的兴趣,才能取得良好的学习效果。 在教学开始时,我给每个学生起一个英文名,学生们很好奇,也很乐意自己拥有了新名字。无论是课上还是课下我都叫他们的英文名。在教学过程中,我认真研读教材,精心设计语言情景,通过学唱英文歌曲、竞猜、抢答、表演等形式组织好课堂教学,有时自编的小品都取材于班内真人真事,让本人表演。我还专门成立了一个编剧小组,让他们积累素材。课堂教学的多样性,充分满足了学生的好奇心理,寓教于乐,学生不会生厌,让他们参与其中,充分发挥学生学习的主动性。 二、扩大词汇量 词汇量的大小直接影响学生的理解和阅读速度。扩大词汇量是提高阅读能力的重要前提。所以,对于每个英语学习者,都要熟练掌握一定量的词,才能更好地进行阅读。词汇量的获得,首先是课本上的必须掌握。在记单词时不要单独记生词,那样很容易忘,最好把它放在句子或文章中一起记忆。把单词同整句话一起记,不仅记住了单词

的意思,也记住了它的用法。其次,广泛阅读是扩大词汇量的一种非常有效的手段。在泛读时不要求对内容完全掌握,能看懂、能接受信息、进行简单总结,能就所读内容进行问答就行。广泛阅读可以是老师向学生指定阅读材料,然后统一检查、提问。也可以是学生自己阅读,老师不可以撒手不管,放任自流,在读物选择方面老师应给予指导,作到有布置、有指导、有检查。可以让学生们通过比赛看书多少、难易程度、词汇量的大小来激发读书的乐趣。 三、养成良好阅读习惯 良好的阅读习惯是提高阅读能力的前提,不同的阅读方法会产生不同的结果。良好的阅读习惯应该是:1. 不要出声读或指读,要默读。出声读和指读都会分散注意力,限制阅读速度。默读可以集中大脑,边读边想,可设问、可推测。2. 不要逐字逐句地读,要以意群或句子为单位。逐字逐句地阅读过多地把注意力放在单词上,不仅影响阅读速度,而且不容易抓住文章的中心大意。3. 不要重复阅读,这样影响理解力的集中,减慢阅读速度,因此会挫伤学生的阅读兴趣。要调用自己的全部知识和智慧,一口气越障碍看到底。4. 不要一见生词就查字典,要养成根据上下文猜测生词词义的习惯,在不影响理解全文的地方,要舍得放过难点,只有这样,才能保持阅读兴趣。5. 不要边读边译,这样影响速度,不能促进理解。应该直接用英语思维、记关键词、抓主旨。 四、重视阅读技能的培养 读书需要多种能力,需要语言能力、记忆能力、语言技能、理解

浅谈如何提高中学生英语阅读能力

浅谈如何提初中学生英语阅读能力 英语阅读是外语教学中的重要一环,而提中学生英语阅读理解能力也一直是英语教学的重要目标。怎么提高中学生的英语阅读能力呢?本人觉得调动学生学习的主观能动性,激发学生的主体意识是关键。 那么作为老师我们应该怎样帮助学生提高阅读理解能力呢?在初中阅读课的教学中应如何调动学生学习的主观能动性,激发学生的主体意识,以达到培养和提高学生的英语阅读能力呢?我觉得要做到以下几点: 一、作为教师要充分了解影响阅读理解的因素 影响阅读理解的因素很多,包括语言知识、认知技巧、个人经历、世界知识等等。语言知识包括词汇、语法、语篇等不同层次,是理解语言的基础。读者在阅读时不能一个词一个词地理解,有效的阅读,应该更多地关注关键词或语意群。背景知识是影响阅读理解的另一个重要因素。学生的已有知识、经历、概念能力、理解模式、情感、情绪以及其他种种非理性因素构成了学生的认知图式,这些因素相互影响,从而使读者在阅读能力方面存在着差异。 二、作为教师要为学生设计好提问,激发学生的主体思维 问题设计是英语阅读教学的重要手段,是帮助学生理解、鉴赏文章的切入点。教师设计问题,要遵循循序渐近的原则,要把问题建筑在学生的注意力和兴趣之上,服务于全面提高学生素质水平的目标需要。 初中英语课文内容参透了丰富的审美以及科学教育内容。在这些兼顾知识性、趣味性、思想性的阅读课教学中精心设计既有启发性又能激起学生探讨兴趣的系列问题,可以启迪学生动脑,激发学生思维,培养学生主动学习的习惯。 通过这样的提问,推想出课文中没有写到但又与之关系密切的若干内容,能使学生加深和拓宽对课文人物刻画、主题表现的领悟,激起他们去主动思考和探索。

培养学生英语阅读能力

培养学生英语阅读理解能力 建湖县芦沟中学汤红玲 内容摘要:英语阅读教学是英语教学中极为重要的部分。英语教学的最终目的就是要培养学生独立阅读能力和应用语言的能力,在“十一·五”市级课题《语言学科阅读的指导与研究》我做了不少实验,一些做法有:一、充分利用课本作为主要依据;二、阅读要讲求效率,把辅导落到实处; 三、选择与教材难度相近的阅读材料;四、开展课外阅读活动. 关键词:培养英语阅读能力 英语阅读教学是英语教学中极为重要的部分。英语教学的最终目的就是要培养学生独立阅读能力和应用语言的能力,这就要求我们在教学中,必须注意培养学生英语阅读能力。针对“十一·五”市级课题《语言学科阅读的指导与研究》我做了不少实验,也获得了不少经验,现将这些做法总结如下: 一、充分利用课本作为主要依据 教材是进行教学的主要依据,充分利用教材中的课文是培养学生阅读能力的主要途径。 1、以小组为单位:任务到个人(3—4人一组)重在泛读。 ①给出问题后用10—20分钟进行快速阅读,做出书面或口头回答。 ②让其中一位找每段话的主题句,并总结全文主要内容。 ③最后一位可以在组内朗读全文。 这样的操作可以使各个层次的学生得到满足,并且使学生在教与学的过程中找到自信,使小组合作学习落到实处,促进了英语学习。 2、完成泛读后,重在语言点剖析,强调精读。 给学生指定段落(可以以组为单位),让他们自己研究主要语言点,鼓励他们提问和讨论,以求弄懂,必要时教师进行解释,以增强记忆。

3、针对课文内容设计相应的练习。 精心设计质量较高的练习能很好地检查学生的学习质量,习题量适中,难度要恰到好处,而且题型要多样,包括动词填空、单项选择等语法题和汉译英练习等综合运用题。这样使学生的书面答题能力进一步提高,从而促进阅读能力的提高。 以上的这种课文的课堂教学改变了那种课堂中从泛读到精读全由教师包讲到底的局面,使学生自学能力得到提高。 二、阅读要讲求效率,把辅导落到实处 效率体现在阅读速度和阅读能力两个方面,那么如何做到这两个方面呢? 1、指导学生,使其养成正确的阅读习惯。 学生不良的习惯有:阅读爱出声;用工具或手指点读;遇到生词就查字典,一词一句分析;“回视”现象严重,在阅读时,眼睛往往往回看,这样不仅影响速度,而且不利于整句、整段的总体把握等。为此,在平时学生阅读时,要作以下指导: ①阅读是默读,不可以出声。朗读与阅读是两种技能,朗读可以训练语音语调,当朗读一篇新材料时,由于注意力集中在语音语调上,往往对朗读的内容,尤其是长篇文章,不完全理解,因此,单纯朗读并不能提高阅读能力。可见,在阅读时要培养默读的习惯,必须控制自己的发音器官,嘴唇不要动,以免分散注意力而降低阅读速度。 ②阅读时不能用尺子等工具或手指进行指读。由于由小养成怕漏掉而点读的习惯,久而久之,部分学生并没有因为信息量的增大而改掉这个不良习惯,进行点读完全控制了眼睛的扫视范围,大大降低了阅读速度。 ③妥善处理阅读中的词汇问题,不能一遇生词就查字典。学生词汇量的大小影响阅读速度,但是帮助学生解决阅读中的词汇困难要区别于一般的词汇教学,教师要鼓励学生通过推断来猜测词义,而不宜进行“Word Study”式的教学。 ④克服回视的习惯。有时在阅读过程中遇到难句或不太熟悉的词,通过一遍不能理解句意,需要回视(返回来再读一遍),这是允许的,但有的同学明明看懂了,就是出
