高中英语选修课程的建设

参评学科:高中英语 高中英语选修课程的建设 摘要 选修课程是高中英语课程建设中的一项重要方式。当前,我国很多高中没有构建相应的平台去开发,实施和管理选修课程,由于英语教师没有开设选修课程的能力,很多学生根本没有真正选择课程的机会。如今英语选修课程都有必修化、应试化、活动化和重负化的特征。为了互补必修课程和选修课程的优势,老师们应该积极地探索选修课程开发本土化、内容优质化和教学多元化,从而充分发挥选修课的潜在功能。 关键词:高中英语;选修课程;建设

一、高中英语选修课程建设中存在的弊端 (一)选修课程的必修趋势 在现代的英语教育中,必修课程和选修课程要相互结合。而普通高中的选修课程大致分为“选修I”(重要选修课程)和“选修II”(随意选修课程)两种。重要选修课程是当地政府为发展学生除书本之外的知识而设立的,而随意选修课程是学校设立的[1]。开设选修课程的最初目标是使潜力和兴趣各不相同的学生都能够实现自身能力的发展。然而,很多学校的选修课程,特别是随意选修课程都必修课占据了时间。就重要选修课来说,各种各样的教材供应商为学校提供了现成的教材,学校和教师可以省心省力地让学生学习这些选秀课程。因为社会依然把“升学率”当成评价高中教学质量的主要依据,所以学校在选取教材的时候,依然会让学生选修与必修课类似的课程。就随意选修来说,很多学校由于教学管理、师资力量、教室资源等因素不能为学生提供大量的选修课程,这在客观上导致“大部分的学校和教师仅仅只将精力放在必修课和高考中一定会涉及的重要选修课程上”[2]。 (二)选修课程的应试趋势 面对高考升学率的压力,很多高中仍然拼命地实施“填鸭式”教学和“题海”战术,所以英语选修课程仅仅是单纯地列在课程表上以应付教育局的检查。学校领导对选修课程不够重视,教师经常占据选修课的时间,大部分的学生对选修课也是心不在焉,极度缺乏主动性和积极性,因此在学生和老师眼中,选修课被通常是可有可无。有些老师竟然将重要选修课当成应试教育的复习课或补习课;绝大多数的老师在随意选修课程上强化学生当天所学的知识或者是组织他们做练习题。[3];更有甚者开设了“高考改错专题”、“作文例析”等选修课,让人啼笑皆非。很多学校从高一的时候就通过“月考”和“周练”等办法来提高学生的外语竞争力;有些学校在高二的时候增加听说读写等语言知识与技能类的选修课程,其实只是还是为了提高学生的考试能力,学生的实践能力,例如对英美文化的了解和口语能力并没有得到提高。这种设计选修课的方式仅仅只是停留在应试教育的模式中,既脱离了语言学习与社会接轨的原则,也没有激发学生的兴趣,是高中英语选修课程建设中的一大败笔[4]。(三)选修课程随意化 选修课程是一种特殊的教学模式,但又不同于必修的课堂教学。然而,很多学校没有区分选修课程与传统教学活动。例如,有的学校将选修课程定义为在全校范围内定期或不定期举办“English corner(英语角)”、drama play(话剧)、speech competition(演讲)、英语歌曲比赛(The Singing Contest);有的学校甚至认为在各大年级开展英语诗朗诵、阅读竞赛、英语书写、英语板报就是开设选修课;更有学校在选修课上将学生的“错题集”进行展示。这

大思教育·英语课本倒背如流特训班 课文原文(高中·选修七) Unit 1 Living well Hi, my name is Marty Fielding and I guess you could say that I am “one in a million.”In other words, there are not many people like me. You see, I have a muscle disease which makes me very weak, so I can’t r un or climb stairs as quickly as other people. In addition, sometimes I am very clumsy and drop things or bump into furniture. Unfortunately, the doctors don’t know how to make me better, but I am very outgoing and have learned to adapt to my disability. My motto is: live one day at a time. Until I was ten years old I was the same as everyone else. I used to climb trees, swim and play football. In fact, I used to dream about playing professional football and possibly representing my country in the World Cup. Then I started to get weaker and weaker, until I could only enjoy football from a bench at the stadium. In the end I went into hospital for medical tests. I stayed there for nearly three months. I think I had at least a billion tests, including one in which they cut out a piece of muscle from my leg and looked at it under a microscope. Even after all that, no one could give my disease a name and it is difficult to know what the future holds. One problem is that I don’t look any different from other people. So sometimes some children in my primary school would laugh, when I got out of breath after running a short way or had to stop and rest halfway up the stairs. Sometimes I was too weak to go to school so my education suffered. Every time I returned after an absence, I felt stupid because I was behind the others. My life is a lot easier at high school because my fellow students have accepted me. The few who can not see the real person inside my body do not make me annoyed, and I just ignore them. All in all I have a good life. I am happy to have found many things I can do, like writing and computer programming. My ambition is to work for a firm that develops computer

第一单元 路永在前方 阿什利塔·福曼是一位热衷挑战并总想争创吉尼斯纪录的运动员。在过去25年中,他大约(approximately)已经打破了93项吉尼斯世界纪录,至今,他仍然是其中20多项纪录的保持者,还包括拥有最多的吉尼斯纪录这一项。但是这些记录并不是像游泳或足球等一般运动项目那样创建的,而是阿什利塔试图在非常有趣的地点,在富有想像力的运动项目中打破的。 最近,阿什利塔完成了他的梦想:在所有七大洲破一项纪录,其中包括在澳洲玩呼啦圈,在南美洲的水下做弹簧单高跷游戏,在北美洲的热气球中做膝部深弯曲运动。 虽然这些活动看起来孩子气且令人发笑而不是让人肃然起敬,但实际上(in reality),完成这些活动需要强大的力量,健康的体格和坚定的决心。 想想吧,你一边走路,一边还要把一瓶牛奶顶在头上,你的脖子需要的多好的适应力。你可以停下来休息或吃东西,但瓶子必须呆在头上。 当阿什利塔站在75厘米高的瑞士球上时,看起来虽然很轻松容易,其实不然。呆在球上得一直全神贯注,还需要有极强的注意力和极好的平衡感。特别是在双腿开始抖动的时候,你还得使劲呆在球上。 然而沿着12英里的马路翻筋斗,情况又是怎样的呢?翻筋斗是一项艰苦的运动,因为你必须克服头晕、极度疲劳和痛苦。每翻滚一个小时,只允许休息5分钟,不过也可以短暂地停下来呕吐(vomit)。 做标准的体操(gymnastically)弓箭步动作向前,以最快的节奏走完1英里的路程是阿什利塔又一个出色的项目。弓箭步冲刺对你的双腿是一个极端艰苦的考验。开始时呈站立姿势,然后右脚向前迈一步,同时左膝触地,然后再站起来,左脚向前迈出一步,同时右膝触地。想想吧,这个动作要反复做1英里远! 然而,这位有才能的运动员并不是天生的。小时候,他很不健康(unfit),而且对运动毫无兴趣。但他却对《吉尼斯世界纪录大全》非常着迷(fascinated)。 阿什利塔究竟是怎样成为一位运动员的呢?这是一个有趣的故事。少年时,他就开始探究人生的深层的意义。他研究过东方宗教,16岁时,他发现了一位名叫斯里琴摩的印度静坐功(mediation)导师,住在纽约市他家附近。自从20世纪70年代初,阿什利塔就一直是斯里琴摩的学生。斯里琴摩指出,人们发展他们的体魂与发展他们的头脑、心灵和精神上的(spiritual)自我具有同等的重要性,并且他相信人的体能是没有局限的。 当阿什利塔1978年在纽约市中央公园进行的24小时自行车马拉松(marathon)比赛中获得第三名时,他就知道总有一天他将进入《吉尼斯世界纪录大全》。尽管从没有训练过,他还是受到他的精神领袖的敦促参加了马拉松比赛。因此,当他取得第三名的时候,他开始有了这样的认识:他的身躯只不过是他的精神的工具,而且他似乎能够利用他的精神力量去完成任何事。从那时起,阿什利塔就拒绝接受任何身体极限的说法。 由于有了这种新的信心, 阿什利塔于1979年第一次打破吉尼斯纪录——跳爆竹27000次。不断努力打破纪录的动机源来自他对斯里琴摩思想的虔诚。每次试图破纪录的时候,阿什里塔都会达到一个体力不可逾越的极限点。这个时候,他就会进入自己的内心深处,与他的灵魂(soul)和他的老师相沟通。 在创纪录的努力中,阿什利塔总是要感谢他的老师。事实上,他常穿着一件T恤衫,后背上有斯里琴摩的名言: “完美的道路只有一条,它就在你前方,永远在你前方。” 集中精力于……

Rather Ashrita attempts to break records in very imaginative events and in very interesting places. 但是这些纪录并不是像游泳或足球等一般运动项目那样创建的,而是阿什里塔试图在非常有趣的地点,在富有想象力的运动项目中打破的。 Recently, Ashrita achieved his dream of breaking a record in all seven continents, including hula hooping in Australia, pogo stick jumping under water in South America, and performing deep knee bends in a hot air balloon in North America. 最近,阿什里塔完成了他的梦想:在所有的七大洲中都破一项纪录,其中包括在澳洲玩呼啦圈,在南美洲的水下做弹簧单高跷游戏,在北美洲的热气球中做膝部深弯曲运动。While these activities might seem childish and cause laughter rather than respect, in reality they require an enormous amount of strength and fitness as well as determination. 虽然这些活动看起来孩子气且令人发笑而不是让人肃然起敬,但实际上,完成这些活动需要强大的力量、健康的体格和坚定的决心。 Think about the fine neck adjustments needed to keep a full bottle of milk on your head while you are walking. 想想吧,你一边走路一边还要把满满一瓶牛奶定在头上,你的脖子需要有多好的适应力。You can stop to rest or eat but the bottle has to stay on your head. 你可以停下来休息或者吃东西,但瓶子必须呆在你的头顶上。While Ashrita makes standing on top of a 75 cm Swiss ball look easy, it is not. 当阿什里塔站在高75公分的瑞 士气球上时,看起来虽然很轻松容易,其实不然。It takes a lot of concentration and a great sense of balance to

人教版选修10课文译文 一次成功的失败经历 如果起初不成功,就要一次又一次地尝试。——W·C·菲尔兹 1914 年 8 月,珀斯·布莱克鲍罗参加了欧内斯特·沙克尔顿爵士的“持久号”轮船南极探险。沙克尔顿是他那个时代最负盛名的探险家,加入他的探险活动被认为是一种巨大的荣耀。现在请看读帕斯所讲故事的第一部分。 1916 年 8 月 29 日慢慢地,我把头探出睡袋,向四周看了看。一切都是灰色的:小屋里面看上去是灰色的,晨曦看上去是灰色的,燃油炉上噗噗作响的罐子也是灰色的。同往常一样,气味中混合着汗液、海豹油脂和脏内衣的味道,几乎让人难以忍受。我尝试着想一些快乐的事情:温暖和干爽的衣服、舒适的卧室、阳光灿烂的日子、妈妈的脸庞,以及返家后得到的庆贺,因为我是试图横穿南极大陆的一次失败探险活动的成员之一,这种事以前还没有人做过。正想到这儿,一条黑毛毯掉下来把我盖住,几乎把美好时光的记忆封闭住了。 一想到由于冻伤变黑而必须截去的腐烂的脚趾头,我就感到喘不过气来。我们的境况让人绝望,谁也不清楚会不会活着回去。也许好些年后,我们的尸体会被其他探险队所辨认并搜集起来。 正当我快要变得自我怜惜起来时,我们营棚的门开了,一股冷空气穿过营棚。“把门关上!”我用一种自己都快辨认不出来的沙哑的嗓音嚷嚷道。“坚持下去,珀斯。不要变成另一个汤姆。”一个声音在应答。“我们又逮住了一只企鹅,今晚有企鹅汤喝了!”保佑弗兰克一吓尔德,他可是我们的头儿欧内斯特·沙克尔顿之外最好的人啦。我怎么能像汤姆·奥德·利兹那样自私自利和脾气暴躁呢!我挣扎着下床,新的一天开始了。 当初宣布探险活动时,我才 20 岁,老梦想着要去冒险。所以在 1914 年 7 月的一个早晨,我是怀着无比激动的心情读以下这则广告的: 为危险之旅招募人手:工资低廉、寒冷无比、数月不见天日、无法确保安全返回。如果成功,荣耀和报酬将会接踵而至。欧内斯特·沙克尔顿爵士。 同伟大的欧内斯特·沙克尔顿爵士去南极探险——我被深深地迷住了!我是探险的门外汉,但我年轻,身体健康而且精力充沛。我偷偷地上了“持久号”轮船,藏在一个小橱里。直到轮船已开始航行了,我才被人发现,而且晕船晕得很厉害。不管怎么说,沙克尔顿似乎对我傻乎乎的行为感兴趣,并且接受了这种局面。他让我当一名伙计,协助做 28 个人一天三顿的饭菜。 1915 年 1 月 18 日,正当我们接近南极时,“持久号”被海上的浮冰(有的坚固无比,有的破裂成若干巨大的冰块浮在水上)卡住了。周围的冰都冻结了,我们千真万确地被困住了!轮船在我们的眼前慢慢地被挤坏。我相信沙克尔顿肯定会对这次探险意想不到的结局而痛心,但他并没有把时间浪费在遗憾和悔恨中。他镇静地把大家召集在一起,然后紧急宣布我们必须在船沉下去之前,只抢出基本给养,尤其是小船、食物、炊具、蜡烛、卧具和衣服。为了显示自己的决心,沙克尔顿把一些金币和他的金表扔到冰上。然而,让我感到惊讶的是,他竟鼓励赫西带上班卓琴。他把班卓琴描述成让我们保持精神振奋的关键。 他的顽强精神赢得了我们对他的完全信赖。他对我们也总是坦诚相待(就像广告中那样),他从不灰心丧气,从不放弃,甚至当轮船沉下去时也是如此。1916 年 4 月 9 日,我们搬到了大象岛上现在的宿营地。不久沙克尔顿给我们这里的生活列出了规矩:取消级别和社会地位上的差异,每个人都得忙起来;公平分配食物和卧具;关心每一个人。这种团队精神鼓舞了船员们的士气,并挽救了我们的生命。 我们在大象岛上一安顿好,沙克尔顿就马上向大家解释了他的营救计划:22 人留在这里,他挑选其他五个人去南乔治亚求援。由于谁也不知道我们身处何地,所以不能指望任何外部救援。我永远也不会忘记眼看着小船从哗哗作响的波浪中消失在波涛汹涌的大洋里的情景。留在大象岛上的人发誓要按他所主张的那样做:在他返回来救我们之前要保持乐观、恢复健康。

Lesson 12 Persuasive speeches II Sample Speech with Commentary The following persuasive speech was presented in a public speaking class at the university of Wisconsin. It deals with a question of policy and is a good example of how students can utilize the methods of persuasion discussed in this chapter. Self-Defense on Campus Rebecca Hanson You’re tired; you’re hungry. You’re just spent a long day at College Library and you can’t wait to gel back to your room. Glancing outside, you remember how quickly it becomes dark. You don’t think much of it, though, as you bundle up and head out into the gusty wind. Not until you spy the shadows on the sidewalk or hear the leaves rustling beside you do you wish you weren’t alone. You walk quickly, trying to stop your imagination from thinking of murderers and rapists. Only when you are safely inside your room do you relax and try to stop your heart from pounding out of your chest. The speaker begins with an extended hypothetical example. Vivid and richly textured, it gains attention and relates the topic directly to the audience .It also contains a strong element of emotional appeal—especially for female students who have experienced the feelings described by the speaker. Can you remember a time when you felt this way? I would be surprised if you never have. The FBI reported last year that there were three murders, approximately 430 aggravated assaults, 1,400 burglaries, and 80rapes here in Madison alone. And while these statistics are quite alarming, they don’t even compare to the numbers of larger metropolitan areas. When you begin a speech with a hypothetical example, it’s a good idea to follow up with statistics showing that the example is not farfetched. The statistics in this paragraph are especially effective because they come from the city in which the speech was given.
