重点单词词组讲解

1. Since middle school, my sister Wang Wei and I have dreamed about taking a great bike trip.从

中学起, 我姐姐王薇和我梦想做一次了不起的自行车旅行。

where it ends.

是我姐姐首先想到骑自行车沿湄公河从它的源头行走到入海口.

这是一个强调句。

强调句的结构是：

It was/is+强调成分+that-/who-分句

如果强调的部分是人，可用who，也可用that，强调其他成分与内容都用that。

强调时间和地点不能用when或where，只能用that。

e.g. It was in Shanghai that I saw the film.

（强调地点状语）

我是在上海看的这部电影。

All the members held a meeting in the club yesterday.

根据上下文和语文意图，说话人可以通过强调句分别强调主语，宾语，状语，使之成为信息中心。

all the m em bers that/w ho held a m eeting in the club yesterday.

(强调主语，w as 不能换用w ere)

a m eeting that all the m em bers held in the clu

b yesterday.

(强调宾语a m eeting)

It w as

in the club that all the m em bers held a m eeting yesterday.

(强调地点状语,that不可换用w here)

yesterday that all the m em bers held a m eeting in the club.

Later a helicopter flew by, and Smith was now standing on the roof with water up to his neck.

As he arrived at the Pearly Gates, Smith met God and complained about this. ―Tell me, God,‖he said, ―I had such faith in you to save me and you let me drown. What happened?‖

做改错题，是有规律可循的：

1.名词单复数！

2. 形容词错误○1意思颠倒，要改成反义词看到错的句子有形容词，先上下文看看，有没有意思反了

○2词性错误形容词和副词

3. 介词错误（1）固定短语的搭配问题，不如key to,answer to, be faced with等

所以看到错的句子有介词，先看左右，有没有搭配错误、连词错误的可能性

3.承上启下的错误

有时候，表示递进的，但题目中给出even if，所以要把if去掉；有时表原因的，但题目中是therefore，所以要改成because。。这样的错误也时常出现; 非限制性宾语从句只能由which引导，题目中很会用that来误倒

5. 代词错误

（1）代词与先行词不一致

前面说了是单数，后面用了them，所以要改成it。这类的错误也经常发生

6.时态错误

明明文章在说过去的事情，但用了个is，所以要改成was

看到错的句子有动词，先看上下，有没有时态问题

7 主谓不一致

they was doing

8 平行结构错误

前面连着2句都是to做什么，to做什么and do什么，这时候就要在这个do前加to

如果是to doing，就要改成to do

另类错误

（1）易混淆的词

比如：His persistence was awarded when the car finally started

中间的awarded是错误的，应该改成rewarded

（2）从上下文来看，应该改动的词

一般发生在名词的身上！！比如前面说美国人吃饭的习惯，后面写了Chinese，那就要改成American

（3）固定词组用错一个，造成意思完全改变

比如：It also takes rise to a blurring of the distinction between science and technology 要把takes 改成gives

这样的难点错误，解决方法是，能改则改，不能改确定哪个词错，骗2个0。5分

总的评注：做改错题一定要具有一双“慧眼”。重要的不是自己会运用一个语法点或知识点，而是能够识别出错误的用法，以审查的眼光去面对每一个改错题。这就需要掌握必要的答题步骤和技巧。

答题步骤：

1、一般来说，做题时千万不要拿起来就改。先花一、两分钟从头到尾通读全文，对文章大致内容有所了解，做到心中有数。

2、然后把重点放在有错误项的标题号行，寻找较容易辩认的语法错误，如主谓不一致、时态、语态使用错误、非谓语动词错误等等。

3、如果错行中不存在上述明显错误，则应查看是否有词语搭配错误，易混词错误、词性错误等等细节错误。

4、如果错行中既不存在语法错误，也不存在词汇错误，则从整体上查看上下文意思是否连贯，连接词是否使用正确，是否有逻辑混乱的现象，如否定句误用成肯定句造成句意不通等。注意：有时没有错项的行对改错很有帮助。

5、找到错误项之后，按要求形式进行改正、删去或增添，并设法找到一个正确项使句子在语法、语义和逻辑上都成立。

IV. 短文改错（共10小题；每小题1分，共10分）

There are so much road accidents every day.45. ______

They are often caused by carelessness. But there46. ______

are many rules that help to make the road safety.47. ______

高中英语教学案例设计

高中英语教学案例设计 一、学生分析 教学对象为高中一年级学生，他们的认知能力比初中阶段有了进一步的发展，渐渐形成用英语获取信息、处理信息、分析问题和解决问题的能力，因此需要特别注重提高学生用英语进行思维和表达的能力。他们学习英语方法由死记硬背转型向理解型并应用到交际上，他们有自己的学习技能和策略，学会把语言学习与现实生活和兴趣联系起来。通过任务型课堂活动和学习，学生的学习自主性得到加强，不再认为英语的课堂学习很枯燥，主动参与到活动中去，成为课堂的主体，同时也加强了与他人交流合作的能力。 二、教材分析 这一课是本单元第一个课时。由于这课出现的生词比较多，在课前教他们读了一下。在备这一课时，发现它的有关宇宙的知识很专业，起初比较担心，但是得知高一的学生地理课上已经学习了相应的部分知识，有了一定的知识储备，这样在处理的时候就注意到详略的问题，我觉得在今后也必须对学生的知识结构有所把握，这样才会更好地抓住要点和难点。 三、教学目标 本课为阅读课型，主要介绍有关太空知识和人类起源。通过阅读使学生了解宇宙的形成，和人类的形成。课文内容用不同的形式来让学生自己归纳，提高阅读技能。由于这课讲述有点抽象，需要足够的图片，方便理解并形成感性认识。本课目的要使学生了解宇宙形成和人类起源，培养环境保护意识。 教学内容大致分为以下几个方面：

高三英语上学期期末工作总结 高三这一年，对老师和学生来说都是一次磨砺。作为一名高三的英语老师，我会感到肩上的担子更重，压力也更大。但同时自己心中也暗自下定决心,一定要很好的完成这一任务,不辜负学校领导对我的信任,不辜负学生家长对我的期待,更不能辜负学生对我的期望。这样就促使我们用更多的时间去学习、研究近几年的高考题型，以便能够更好地教授学生。 本学期，我担任了高三4和高三5两个普通班的英语教学工作。即将过去的这一学期，我扎扎实实，勤勤恳恳、尽职尽责，较好地完成了学校交给的教学工作任务。现简单总结如下： 在业务上，顺应我国教育改革的形势及高考的要求，不断学习，大胆创新，积极进取，从教育教学的各个环节努力提高自身素质，我做到下面几点：一扎实开展常规教学，切实提高教学质量。 1、认真备好每一节课。高三第一学期我们学校启用了优化探究的基础知识的复习。我深入钻研教材，多方查阅参考资料，把手头的教材当成宝，吃透，并认真消化，同时把以前学过的相关的知识点和新的知识点串联起来，而且不时地与老教师进行相关的探讨，一方面以弥补自己教学经验不足的缺陷；另一方面让学生感受到教材的教授既能让他们学到新知识也能让他们对某些学过的知识得以巩固。我深知立足教材，夯实基础知识才是我们这样的学生的唯一途径。教学和复习都因该注重实效，实实在在地为学生服务。 2、努力上好每一堂课。我深知学生学习重在课堂，努力向45分钟要效益，根据实际情况，充分调动学生的积极性。在教学过程中我本着“培养主体意识，强化课堂训练”的原则，积极做好学生的思想工作，提高学习的自觉性、积极性和主动性；帮学生树立信心。 3、认真批改作业，并及时给学生反馈作业情况，对作业中出现的错误进行课堂集体订正并举一反三，效果不错，大大降低了以后犯同类错误的机率。课后及时与学生进行交流，了解学生的学习状况，时刻关注学生思想动态。根据高三学生思想状况复杂、压力大等状况，我努力创造机会，多和学生一起交流，帮他们排忧解难，使他们时刻都能保持较好的学习状态。 4、在高三进行的各次月考、周考中，我都给学生进行详细的分析，分析错误，分析成绩，分析考试策略，分析解题技巧，使得她们都能越战越勇。 5、注重课后复习检测。复习、检测工作在教学中很重要，复习可“温故而知新”，检测则可及时了解学生对所学知识的掌握情况。本学期教学中，我除了要求学生在课后对前面所学知识进行经常性的复习外，在课堂教学中，也充分地利用一切可能的机会，尽量将前面所学知识结合起来对学生进行提问，帮助他们掌握前面所学知识。通过周检测、月考检测，对学生所学知识进行查漏补缺工作。

I watched from a distance as the homeless man quarreled with those who did not leave money for him – the majority. I walked up to him and right on queue he asked me for a quarter. “I’ll give you a quarter if you tell me your story.” He laughed, “You’ll give me a quarter for my story?” I lay the qu front of him and corrected myself –“Nah, here’s the quarter but it would be nice to hear your story.” I followed his eyes to the quarter and for a brief moment I saw a glimmer of reflection. I sat down next to him and waited. I was a sniper(狙击手)and was supposed to shoot down the “I was in the army,” he said. “ carefully to his grizzly voice as he went deeper into the story. enemy from the distance.” I listened He wore dirty old torn clothes and smelled like a dead rat left in a mouse trap. He told me how he used to hunt with his family and was really good at it. He had his own way of respecting animals by not wasting what he killed for food and not killing more than he needed. When the army came knocking on his door, he felt pride and joined up. All those years of polishing his hunting skills could now serve a larger purpose—to defend us from the bad guys. He set out to fight in Iraq. It wasn’t long before he realized his ideals and expectations were just a shadow of the truth. He became disillusioned with the killings, which he felt were of innocent people. “I was a sniper but I never really killed anyone,” he said. “One day I had to do it. They asked me to shoot this lady from the distance. I saw kids near that lady and my hands were on the trigger (扳机). Man, I was tearing up ... I couldn’t do it. She wasn’t doing anything to anyone and she was with the kids—I couldn’t see through my tears. It just didn’t make any sense to me.” The story goes on as he describes eventually being put into prison for 180 days for refusing to follow orders. He told me how he was black listed so that he couldn’t get a job. All the rights we take for granted were taken away from him. Why? Here was a man who was being punished—and for what? For refusing to kill the lady? For being a hero? “I have no regrets,”　 anyone the homeless man said. “I may be homeless now, but I never killed that lady. I never killed He in the army. It didn’t feel right. I didn’t go there to do that. I went there to save people.”　 okay. But I wouldn’t be able to live with continued, “I can live with being homeless—that’s killing innocent people.” On that lonely Friday night, I met a hero. It just never occurred to me that a hero could be a smelly old man left on streets. 1. It can be learned from the passage that the homeless man_______. （） A. never killed animals B. had a strong respect for life C. deserved the punishment he received D. felt guilty about disobeying the order

高三英语课堂教学案例

高三英语课堂教学案例 教学教案理念 ⑴运用任务型语言教学模式，训练培养学生对语言的综合运用，实 现目的，感受成功，教学进度整体把握，教学形式不拘一格。 ⑵课堂以学生为主体，以任务为主线，器重体验参与，老师起到“设计者、研究者、促进者、协调者”的作用。 ⑶在教学中，突出交际性，注重读写的实用性，要进行情感和策略调整，以形成积极的学习态度，促进语言实际运用能力的提高。 ⑷课后访谈调查，读写摘记，器重语言运用。 ⑸正视个体差异，提倡过程激励，以多条理、多角度、多主体的结果与过程并重的评价方式激励进步。 一、学情剖析 一方面，高中中学年龄段的学生对四周的事物较为敏感，有自己的观点和看法，他们不满足于教科书上的知识，想取得更多的信息。在英语学习上，他们不只是想把英语作为一门死记硬背的课程来学，更希望能学到知识性和趣味性兼有的内容，从英语学习中取得更多的知识和能力。另一方面学生对体育比较感兴趣，对吉尼斯纪录有一定的了解因此，应结合学生的实际情况，因材施教，激发学生兴趣，让学生主动学习，学有所获。 二、教学内容剖析 (一)知识背景及新课程、新教材 本单元以世界纪录为中心话习题，只要内容波及以阿里西塔福尔曼为代表的几个世界吉尼斯纪录的保持者及其运动经历，重点讨论了创造吉尼斯纪录所必备的身体素质心理素质创新意思以及挑战自我的决心和毅力语言和技能都是围绕这一中心展开的。 本课是是本单元第二课——“浏览课”，于是本单元的重点。文章的主习题是“路永在前方”其内容介绍了世界吉尼斯的保持者阿西里塔福尔曼，他不是职业运动员，但其运动成就让许多运动员可望不可即，本课通过阿里西塔福尔曼的成长经历以及取得这些成就的精神动力激励学生认识自我的潜力找到精神动力的源泉，实现梦想。 (二)教学重点难点 (1)重点：1.了解记叙文的文体特点并以此指导浏览;训练skimming, scanning, careful reading等浏览微技能;3.对文章深条理的理解及细节的观赏，认识及剖析主人公的人物特征及人物性格。 (2)难点： 1。浏览技能的训练;2.对记叙文的鉴赏能力及人物评价。 (确立依据：浏览在整个英语教育体系和高考中都占有重要比例，浏览能力的提高不是一朝一夕事。再高明的教师也不可能把自己的浏览能力传授给学生。学生浏览能力的提高只能在教师的指导下通过实践训练取得。复述课文是检查学生对课文的理解程度，同时又是提高学生白话能力的重要方法) 三、三维教学目的

高中英语教学案例分析

高中英语教学案例分析 教材版本：人教版高中英语必修2 unit 1 授课时间：45分钟 一、学生分析 教学对象为高中一年级学生，智力发展趋于成熟。他们的认知能力比初中阶段有了进一步的发展，渐渐形成用英语获取信息、处理信息、分析问题和解决问题的能力，因此我特别注重提高学生用英语进行思维和表达的能力。他们学习英语方法由死记硬背转型向理解型并应用到交际上，他们有自己的学习技能和策略，学会把语言学习与现实生活和兴趣联系起来。通过任务型课堂活动和学习，学生的学习自主性得到加强，不再认为英语的课堂学习很枯燥，主动参与到活动中去，成为课堂的主体，同时也加强了与他人交流合作的能力。 二、教材分析 这一课是本单元第一个课时。 在上这一节课前并没有让他们了解太多的与课文内容相关的知识，只是由于这课出现的人名和地名比较多，我自己另外准备的引入（只是花了4到5分钟的时间），让学生对这课的话题作好心理准备，也为了完成本单元的目标作了铺垫。 三、教学目标 本课为阅读课型，主要介绍有关俄罗斯遗失琥珀屋的轶事。通过阅读使学生了解世界文化遗产，学会描述他们的起源、发展和保护等方面的情况。教师根据课文内容用不同的形式来让学生自己归纳，提高阅读技能。本课目的要使学生学会如何谈论文化遗产以及最后形成保护文物的意识。 教学内容大致分为以下几个方面： 1．看图片和听录音引入文化遗产这一话题。 2从网上下载一些琥珀屋图片并展示给学生看，分辨新旧琥珀屋，给学生以感官上的刺激，而且有利于帮助学生对文章的理解。（一些生词用板书） 3．学生阅读课文后完成精读练习。 4．语言学习--难句解释。 5．小结文章，一是找关键线索，二是写作手法。 6．小组讨论，包括复述课文，加深对文章的理解，以及学生总结自己通过本课学习学到了什么（达到教学目标--形成保护文物意识）。 课前需要准备中外文物图片以及对这些图片简短的录音描述五、教学过程 （一） warming-up引入 教师用 PowerPoint look at three pictures and listen to three tourist guide describe each of them. What do you think of them?） 1. The Pyramids in Egypt 2. Machu Picchu in Peru 3. The Great Wall of China 然后问问题：what do you think of them? They represent the culture of their countries, so they are called______) 引导学生讲出 cultural relics这个词组 接着分别说出 cultural relics的定义（学生个人观点） （引入部分使学生对本节课的话题有所了解，而且很有兴趣了解其它文物） （二） Reading使学生了解Amber Room形成、发展,经历了几个阶段 1、让学生解释文章的title—In Search of the Amber Room (Maybe it's lost) 2、为了让学生知道琥珀屋是什么样子，帮助理解文章，教师展示多张图片，新旧琥珀

Sir, I was halfway through Professor Raj Persaud's article ―What's the tipping point"(Financial Times Weekend, April 9-l0）when it occurred to me that what I was reading was not ironic(讽刺的）. If Prof Persaud wants to know why Americans tip in restaurants, he need only ask the first American he meets in London. Americans tip in restaurants for one reason, and one reason only: we tip to supplement (补贴）the salary of restaurant workers. Quality of service does not enter into it, beyond the fact that one may tip a bit less for poor service, or a little more for good service. Not tipping at all in a non-fast-food restaurant is not a choice. In the US, one used to tip about 15 per cent for dining in a family-style restaurant or in an upmarket (高档的）restaurant. Here, in San Francisco Bay area restaurants, we are encouraged to tip 20 per cent or more, to help restaurant workers live in this very expensive area. After eating at an Italian restaurant in my city, I left a tip of 20 per cent on the non-tax part of our dinner bill. It was expected. There is nothing more complicated (复杂的）than that about Americans tipping in restaurants. Ward Hoffman, Palo Alto, CA 94306, US * * *
