漂流一百三十二年的瓶中信

在西澳大利亞被沖上岸的是一個遭時間遺忘的訊息。

在沙灘上尋找貝殼、海玻璃（編按：海玻璃是指經過自然界中的水、沙、波浪打

磨後形成的光滑玻璃殘骸，通常可以在海洋、大河或大湖岸邊找到。）或是五顏六色的岩石是許多人喜愛的休閒活動。有些人甚至用金屬探測器來尋找埋藏的寶物或其他東西。只有少數幸運的人會意外拾獲被潮水送來的瓶中信。這個把一封寄給未知收件人的信放入瓶中並將其扔進海裡的傳統有個有趣的過往。當譚雅．伊爾曼在澳洲韋奇島附近的海灘上發現一個有紀錄以來最古老的瓶中信時，便揭開了此做法早期的科學用途。

伊爾曼在家庭出遊時注意到沙堆裡的古老玻璃瓶，認為它會是個很棒的裝飾品。她在清理這個布滿沙子的杜松子酒瓶時，一張捲起來並用細繩綁著的紙條掉了出來。這頁潮溼紙張上的訊息以德文寫成，並押上1886 年六月十二日的日期。根據德國航海船艦寶拉號的官方文件，一名船員在距離西澳海岸約九百五十公里處將該瓶子拋進大海。進一步的研究證明了這封信的真實性，它被丟入大海漂流一百三十二年，且是曾被重新拾獲的最古老瓶中信。

歷史學家證實，數以千計類似的瓶子在1864 年至1933 年間被德國船舶丟出船外。其中包含船長所寫的官方文件，其詳細記錄了航線、座標以及其他訊息。這些早期的瓶中信是德國海軍氣象天文臺嘗試將世界各地洋流繪製成地圖所做的努力。

這些紙張背面的訊息則指示拾獲者寫下瓶子被發現的時間和地點，並將它們送回德國海軍氣象天文臺漢堡辦公室或最近的德國當局。使用這些訊息作為參考是早期研究自然界模式（尤其是廣闊洋流）的方法。

此篇文章节选字2019年5月23日《时代周刊》上的关于青少年心理教育的研究，

原文链接：https://https://www.wendangku.net/doc/e717578866.html,/5593706/hard-work-achievement-mindset/

原文为：

A star athlete at the college where I work recently stopped by my office. After committing a few unforced errors during a weekend match, she was — several days later — riven by self-criticism and distracted on the field.

“I can’t stop beating myself up,” she told me. “I’m at peak fitness, and I practice hard. How is this happening?”

This student, like many I teach, believes she should be able to control the outcomes of her life by virtue of her hard work. It’s a mentality verging on invincibility: a sense th at all-nighters in the library, a jam-packed calendar and hours on the field should get her exactly where she needs to go in life. Nothing can stop me but myself.

I study and write about resilience in young adults, and I’m noticing a troubling spike in students like this athlete. Their faith in their own sweat equity confers a kind of contingent confidence: when they win, they feel powerful and smart. Success confirms their mindset. The problem comes when these students fail. When they fall short of what th ey imagine they should accomplish, they are crushed by self-blame. If my accomplishments are mine to control, they reason, my failures must be entirely my fault, too. Failing must mean I am incapable, and maybe will be forever. This makes it incredibly difficult for students to move on.

We talk often about young adults struggling with failure because their parents have protected them from discomfort. But there is something else at play here among the most privileged kids in particular: a message transmitted to them by doting parents who have falsely promised them that they can achieve anything if they are willing to work for it.

Psychologists studying students in high-achieving schools have sourced this phenomenon to a misapplication of “mindset” research, which has found that praising children for their effort will increase academic performance. Developed by Stanford psychologist Carol Dweck and popularized in her 2006 bestselling book, Mindset: The New Psychology of Success, mindset education has infiltrated the classrooms around the world. But a2018 meta-analysis found that while so-called growth-mindset interventions, in which educators respond to their students’ challenges by praising effort (“You worked hard!”) over ability (“You’re really smart!”), may benefit high-risk or economically disadvantaged students, they do not necessarily help everyone.

One possible explanation comes from psychologists Suniya Luthar and Nina Kumar, who argued in a research paper last year that teens growing up in wealthy, pressure-cooker communities are actually hurt by the message that effort equals success. For them, Luthar and Kumar wrote, “it is not a lack of motivation and perseverance that is the big problem. Instead, it is unhealthy perfectionism, and difficulty with backing off when they should, when the high-octane drive for achievements is over the top.”

The humbling, brutal, messy reality of life is that you can do everything in your power —and still fail.

When parents demand excellence in their kids while still promising them that effort is king, they tell them, wrongly, that they should be able to rise above any obstacle. But research has found that young people who push themselves onward in the face of unattainable goals experience physical and emotional stress. In a 2007 study by psychologists Gregory Miller and Carsten Wrosch, the authors determined that adolescent girls who refused to give up impossible goals showed elevated levels of CRP, a protein that serves as a marker of systemic inflammation linked to diabetes, heart disease and other medical conditions. A 2012 study by Luthar and Samuel Barkin showed a correlation between the “perfectionist strivings” of affluent youth and their vulne rability to drug and alcohol abuse, anxiety and depression.

The humbling, brutal, messy reality of life is that you can do everything in your power —and still fail. This is knowledge that comes early to underrepresented minorities on campus, including first-generation students and students of color. Their experience of discrimination and inequality teaches them early on to brace for what is, for now, largely beyond their control to change.

Yet for many others, the quixotic belief that success is always within their grasp is a setup. University of Chicago Professor Lauren Erlant calls this “cruel optimism,” or when the pursuit of a goal actually harms you because it is largely unachievable. The college admissions game promises young adults a meritocracy that will reward their hard work with entrance to the ivory tower –yet admissions scandals and ultra-thin acceptance margins make such a promise impossible to keep.

Adults help students pursue success in healthier ways in part by redefining failure as a feature, not a bug, of learning. At Smith College, where I teach, the Narratives Project asks students to explore how setbacks and missteps made them stronger or more effective. “It can be instructive to observe your own response when things don’t go your way,” said

director Dr. Jessica Bacal. “It might reinforce your passion for the work you’re doing or send you in a whole new direction –and there’s nothing wrong with that.”

Luthar and Kumar urge parents and teachers to spend time helping students find purpose, or goals they both genuinely love to pursue and that make an impact on the world. Researchers have found that adolescents with purpose report greater life satisfaction, have a strong sense of identity and are more psychologically mature.

Instead of allowing our kids to beat themselves up w hen things don’t go their way, we might all pause to question a culture that has taught them that being anything less than overwhelmed is lazy, that how they perform for others is more important than what actually inspires them and that where they go to college matters more than the kind of person they are.

The point is not to give our kids a pass on working hard and doing their best. But fantasizing that they can control everything is not really resilience. We are harming our children by implying that they can bend life to their will, and as students walk across commencement stages this year, we would be wise to remind them that life has a way of sucker-punching us when we least expect it. It’s often the people who learn to say “stuff happens” who get up th e fastest.

Correction, June 18

The original version of this story misstated the last name of the University of Chicago professor who coined the term “cruel optimism.” It is Berlant, not Erlant. The original version of this story also misstated which study found a correlation between the perfectionist tendencies of affluent youth and negative outcomes. It was a 2014 study from Suniya Luthar and Emily Lyman, which found a correlation between these tendencies and vulnerability to substance abuse and feelings of inferiority. It was not a 2012 study by Luthar and Samuel Barker that found a correlation between “the ‘perfectionist strivings’ of affluent youth and their vulnerability to drug and alcohol abuse, anxiety and depression.”

David Miles, an Australian inventor has been accused of cheating desperate farmers by charging up to $50,000 Australian dollars for delivering rain on demand without so much as explaining the technology behind his business.

On the official Miles Research website，Miles explains that in the 1990’s he realized that it was possible to influence weather patterns by creating a bridge between ‘the present’ and a ‘near-future event’ in the physical space-time continuum. He found that by applying small amounts of energy intelligently, even a large, messy weather system approaching from the future could be eased.

While somewhat fascinating, Miles’ explanation does little to explain how he is able to bring rainfall to the lands of farmers. He makes references to famous but debatable concepts like “the butterfly effect”. “We were advised against patenting because ifs basically exposing how it works. There are a lot of big companies that invest in hunting out patents,” Miles said “I understand the doubts，the only other way is to fully prove up our science and physics. If we did that, we'll lose it, it will be taken up as a national security interest and it’ll then be weaponized.”

Miles' claims raised suspicions for obvious reasons, including a since-deleted section of his company website, which claimed that his technology used “electromagnetic scalar waves”，which scientists say don’t even exist.

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) has warned people against doing business with him, but the Australian inventor claims the ACCC is only trying to defame him and his company, as in reality they are success based - if it doesn’t rain, they don’t get paid.

“Consumers signed the agreement that if by the end of June they receive 100mm, they pay $50,000, if they only receive 50mm, they would only pay $25,000. Anything under half，we don’t want to be paid,” Miles said of a handful of Wimmera farmers who agreed to take him up on his offer to deliver rain.

Believe it or not, one of the farmers who paid David Miles for his so-called rain-making capabilities told ABC Radio that he was quite happy with the results.

56.David Miles claims to be capable of ________.

A.influencing the weather system

B.predicting the future events

C.reducing the atmospheric temperature

D.easing the gravitational energy

57.ACCC issued warning against doing business with Miles because________.

A.he charged too much for the services provided

B.there was no solid science to hack up his technology

C.his practice was a threat to national security interest

D.he didn’t officially patent his technology with ACCC

58.According to Miles，how much will be paid if the farmers receive 15mm of rain?

A.$50,000.

B. $25,000.

C. $12,500.

D. $0.

Inventor Accused of Conning Farmers by Promising to Bring the Rain, But Not Explaining How

By Spooky on October 24th, 2019 Category:

David Miles, an Australian inventor who has been peddling weather modification technology for almost 20 years, has been accused of preying on desperate farmers by charging up to $50,000 Australian dollars for delivering rain on demand without so much as explaining the technology behind his business.

On the official Miles Research website, controversial inventor David Miles explains that in the 1990’s he realised that “it was possible to incrementally influence weather patterns using a variant of the Einstein –Rosen Bridge hypothesised in the 1930’s, to effectively create a bridge between ‘the present’ in the physical space-time continuum, and a near-future event, forecast to exist from one to ten days ahead in time”. He found that by applying small amounts of energy intelligently, even a large, chaotic weather system approaching from the future could be mitigated.

You’ll notice that, while somewhat intriguing, Miles’ explanation does little to explain how he is able to bring rainfall to the lands of farmers paying him tens of thousands of

dollars for rain contracts. He makes references to famous but controversial concepts like “the butterfly effect”, but nowhere does he actually reveal how the rain making actually happens. He claims that the mystery is intentional, as revealing too much could help others steal his ideas or even weaponize it.

“We were advised against patenting because it’s basically exposing how it works. There are a lot of big companies that invest in trawling through patents,” Miles told https://www.wendangku.net/doc/e717578866.html,.au. “I understand the scepticism, the only other way is to fully prove up our science and physics and peer review. If we did that we’ll lose it, it will be taken up as a national security interest and it’ll then be weaponised.”

The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) has accused Miles Research (formerly Aquiess) of preyin g on people’s desperation, and warned people against doing business with him, but the Australian inventor claims the ACCC is only trying to defame him and his company, as in reality they are success based –if it doesn’t rain, they don’t get paid.

“They signed the agreement that if by the end of June they’d received 100mm, they pay $50,000, if they only receive 50mm, they would only pay $25,000. Anything under half we don’t want to be paid,” Miles said of a handful of Wimmera farmers who agreed to take him up on his offer to deliver rain.

Believe it or not, one of the farmers who paid David Miles for his alleged rain-making capabilities told ABC Radio that he was quite happy with the results.

“I got involved because it sounded good, the fact you can control weather, because as a farmer rainfall is everything,” the farmer said. “I think the evidence is out there, you look at the forecast what’s meant to come and all of a sudden it increases dramatically. You know that he’s behind it and I reckon I haven’t seen such good crops in this district ever, everywhere.”

Still, there’s no way to prove that Miles is the one bringing the rain, and he has no interest in explaining his claims in detail, for now. He talked of creating a facility where he could safely show off his technology without fear of having it stolen, but didn’t offer a timeline of when it might be ready.

“We’ve got disparate components, we’ve been tutored in how to hide in plain sight … but we need a Defence-grade facility where we can bring it together, for the moment we’re having to operate fairly low-key,” Miles said.

Miles’ claims raised suspicions for obvious reasons, including a since-deleted section of his company website, which claimed that his technology used “electromagnetic scalar waves”, which scientists say don’t even exist.

“Electromagnetic scalar waves don’t exist,” University of Melbourne associate professor of physics Martin Sevior said. “There’s no such thing. He’s taken a few words and put them together and made them sound somewhat scie ntific but it’s meaningless.”

But Miles doesn’t seemed deterred by his critics. He continues to claim that he can deliver rain to farmers brave enough to invest in a rain contact.

“We’re going out and putting our name on the line that we will deliver rain.We’re prepared to let the client region define the metrics —if you’re confident of getting 50mm, perhaps start at 60mm. Our pricing is coming in under the cost of shipping water,” the inventor added.

“When engaged to deliver rain in recent times we’ve be en able to (deliver) most of what was (promised), sometimes not enough, it’s not perfect. We have been able to achieve about 80 per cent. We lose our reputation if we fail —we haven’t failed.”

How and why, roughly 2 million years ago, early human ancestors evolved large brains and began fashioning relatively advanced stone tools, is one of the great mysteries of evolution. Some researchers argue these changes were brought about by the invention of cooking. They point out that our bite weakened around the same time as our larger brains evolved, and that it takes less energy to absorb nutrients from cooked food. As a result, once they had mastered the art, early chefs could invest less in their digestive systems and thus invest the resulting energy savings in building larger brains capable of complex thought. There is, however, a problem with the cooking theory. Most archaeologists (考古学家）believe the evidence of controlled fire stretches back no more than 790,000 years.

Roger Summons of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has a solution. Together with his team, he analyzed 1.7 million-year-old sand-stones that formed in an ancient river at Olduvai Gorge in Tanzania. The region is famous for the large number of human fossils (化石) that have been discovered there, alongside an impressive assembly of stone tools. The sand-stones themselves have previously yielded some of the world’s earliest complex hand axes — large tear-drop-shaped stone tools that are associated with Homo erectus (直立人) . Creating an axe by repeatedly knocking thin pieces off a raw stone in order to create two sharp cutting edges requires a significant amount of planning. Their appearance is therefore thought to mark an important moment in intellectual evolution. Trapped inside the Olduvai sand-stones, the researchers found distinctive but unusual biological molecules（分子）that are often interpreted as biomarkers for heat-tolerant bacteria. Some of these live in water between 85°C and 95°C. The molecules’ presence suggests that an ancient river within the Gorge was once fed by one or more hot springs.

Dr. Summons and his colleagues say the hot springs would have provided a convenient “pre-fire” means of cooking food. In New Zealand，the Maori have traditionally cooked food in hot springs, either by lowering it into the boiling water or by digging a hole in the hot earth. Similar methods exist in Japan and Iceland, so it is plausible, if difficult to prove, that early humans might have used hot springs to cook meat and roots. Richard Wrangham, who devised the cooking theory, is fascinated by the idea. Nonetheless, fire would have offered a distinct advantage to humans, once they had mastered the art of controlling it since, unlike a hot spring, it is a transportable resource.

63.All of the following statements can support the cooking theory EXCEPT__________.

A.cooking enabled early humans to invest less in digestive system

B.cooking enabled early humans to devote more energy to building big brains

C.our brain became larger around the same time our digestive system weakened

D.the controlled fire wasn’t mastered until about 790,000 years ago

64.The presence of biological molecules was important because_________.

A.they suggested a possible means of cooking without fire

B.they cast light on how early Homo erectus lived

C.they provided a convenient way of studying stone tools

D.they made studies of pre-historic cultures possible

65.The underlined word “plausible” probably means _________.

A. noticeable

B. applicable

C. reasonable

D. affordable

66.What may be the conclusion of the study by Dr. Summons and his colleague?

A.Early humans were capable of making complex stone tools.

B.Hot springs help explain how human brains got so big.

C.Homo erectus were adaptable to tough and complex territories.

D. Human brains are highly advanced as shown by their size.

Did cooking in hot springs make humans brainy?

Geothermal springs could help explain how early humans evolved such big brains

How and why, roughly 2m years ago, early human ancestors evolved large brains and began fashioning relatively advanced stone tools, is one of the great mysteries of evolution. Some researchers argue these changes were brought about by the invention of cooking. They point out that our bite weakened around the same time as our larger brains evolved, and that it takes less energy to extract nutrients from cooked food. As a result, once they had mastered the art, early chefs could pare back their digestive systems and invest the resulting energy savings in building larger brains capable of complex thought. There is, however, a problem with the cooking hypothesis. Most archaeologists believe the evidence of controlled fire stretches back no more than 790,000 years.

Roger Summons of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology has a solution. Together with his team of geomicrobiologists, he analysed 1.7m-year-old sandstones that formed in an ancient river at Olduvai Gorge in Tanzania. The region is famous for the large number of human fossils that have been discovered there, alongside an impressive assembly of stone tools. The sandstones themselves have previously yielded some of the world’s

earliest sophisticated Acheulean hand axes: large tear-drop-shaped stone tools that are associated with Homo erectus. Creating an Acheulean axe by repeatedly knocking flakes off of a raw stone in order to create two sharp cutting edges requires a significant amount of planning. Their appearance is therefore thought to mark an important moment in cognitive evolution.

Slower Walkers Have Slower Minds, Scientists Reveal

Of all human activities, few are so readily credited with enhancing the power of the mind as going for a good walk. However, those who assume that strolling along at a gentle pace is the symbol of superior intellect should think again, scientists have said. ______67_______ Doctors have long used walking speed to gain a quick and reliable understanding of older peopled mental capability, as it is increasingly recognized that pace is associated with not only

muscular strength but also the central nervous system. ______68______ The relationship was so obvious, however, that the US scientists now say walking tests could be used to provide an early indication of dementia（痴呆）.

Published in the Journal of the American Medical Association, the study revealed an average difference of 16 IQ points between the slowest and the fastest walkers at the age of 45, This reflected both the participants’ natural walking speed and the pace they achieved when asked lo walk as fast as they could._____69______ Actually, slower walkers were shown to have “speeded aging'' on a 19-measure scale devised by researchers, and their lungs, teeth and immune systems tended to be in worse shape than the people who walked faster.

The 904 New Zealand men and women who were tested at 45 were tracked from the age of three, each undergoing multiple tests over the years. The long-term data collection enabled researchers to establish that kids with lower IQ scores, lower linguistic ability and weaker emotional control tended to have slower walking speeds by middle age. _____70______ The research team said genetic factors may explain the link between walking speed, brain capacity and physical health or that better brain health might promote physical activity, leading to better walking speed. Some of the differences in health and intellect may be the result of lifestyle choices individuals have made.

Of all human activities, few are so readily credited with enhancing the power of the mind as going for a good walk.

在人类的所有活动中，很少有什么活动能像散步一样被认定为可以增强思维能力。However, those who assume that strolling along at a gentle pace is the hallmark of superior intellect should think again, scientists have said.

然而，科学家们说，认为缓步行走是智力超群标志的人们应该三思。

hallmark [?h??lmɑ?k]：n.特点；品质证明

In fact, based on a new series of experiments, they now believe the slower a person’s tendency to walk, the less able their brain.

事实上，根据一系列新的实验，科学家们现在认为一个人走路的速度越慢，大脑就越迟钝。

Researchers performed gait-speed analysis on hundreds of middle-aged people, comparing the results with a range of physical and psychological measures.

研究人员对数百名中年人进行了步速分析，并将结果与一系列生理和心理标准相比较。

gait [ɡe?t]：n.步法，步态

Doctors have long used walking speed to gain a quick and reliable insight into older people’s cognitive capability, as it is increasingly recognized that gait is associated with not only musculoskeletal mechanisms but also the central nervous system.

长期以来，医生们一直利用步速对老年人的认知能力进行快速可靠的了解，因为人们越来越认识到，步态不仅与肌肉骨骼机制有关，还与中枢神经系统有关。

本次的听力试题,语速适中,语音清晰,设问有梯度。从上表可以看出,第1、3、5、8、10、19 题失 分较多,其中1 到5小题只有念一次,许多学生在听力开始时,思想过度紧张,导致大脑一片空白,再加上追 求完美的心理,不舍得放弃,以至于一旦第一题没有听清楚后,还一直在琢磨究竟哪个是正确答案,结果就 如多米诺骨牌一样产生连锁反应,失分连连。第七段对话语速较快,很多学生没听清楚,因此第8、10 小题 基本就去蒙了,其中第8 题有47% 的学生选了 A.Atamusicparty 选项,只是因为在对话中听到了music 这个词. ②单项填空―― 基础知识是重点,强调语言实用性 a. 单选重双基，语境中活现 本卷单项选择部分考查要点突出,覆盖面广,没有刻意追求语言形式与结构的繁杂,而是强调考生在 各方面的实际运用能力;强调在注重实用性的基础上,将语法、词汇、习惯用语等语言项目的测试融入真 实的情景之中,体现了语言的交际功能。如第 3 题,把现在进行时的被动语态的考查放在机场的登机广播 中 b. 动词是重点 动词始终是单项填空的主旋律、重头戏。本卷题型中考查动词的有7题,与08、09 年高考一样占35%的分值。主要考查非谓语动词、情态动词、动词时态、语态、动词词义及词组的区别等。该题从以下几个方面考查学生的英语水平: 1. 基础语法知识 2. 对词义的正确理解 3. 相近词的辨析 4. 固定词组的搭配 5. 交际用语的灵活运用 各考查项目的分布情况如下: 第1题冠词；第2题名词辨析；第3题动词时态；第4题介词短语辨析；第5题副词辨析；第6题therebe 句型;第7题动词短语辨析;第8题疑问代词;第9题非谓语动词;第10题形容词辨析;第11 题情态动词;第12题定语从句;第13题动词短语辨析;第14题连词辨析;第15题代词;第16题情景交际;第17题非谓语动词;第18题

一、整体情况分析 本次考试英语文理科平均分为85.8，共有15个人超过120分，其中4个人达到130分，最高分为李佳瑶133.8分。 整套试卷贴近高考要求，原创性很强，内容贴近生活、贴近时代，综合性强，区分度及灵活度较高,而且知识覆盖面广,对学生的能力要求高。命题以课本为依托，重视语言知识的积累，同时突出语篇阅读，考查了第一轮复习所涉及的语言知识点，让学生感到平时的教学与考试密切相关，从而促使他们重视平时的学习和考前的复习。试卷总体上较好地体现了英语教学应遵循的重视积累，夯实基础，注重语篇，培养能力的原则，对高三英语教师的教与学生的学均起到了较好的导向作用。 二、学生答题情况分析 1.阅读理解：此次4篇阅读难度适宜，其中B阅读难度较大，学生失分率较高，3题，6题、11题、13题得分率较低。原因是学生不善于利用有效的信息进行排除和合理的推断，没有掌握如何从整体上、宏观上把握文章的脉络，明确段意，理解文章中心和作者的写作意图的技巧。其它原因：1）部分学生基础薄弱，阅读速度不够，造成阅读时间不足，文章来不及细读。2）学生词汇量不够，造成理解难度增大，解题正确率低。3）分析信息，处理信息能力差，无法合理分析关键信息，提取有效信息，耗费了很多时间，结果事倍功半。4）知识面陕窄。在现在的二轮复习阅读训练中应更加注重学生能力和时间的训练。对尖子生阅读训练内容要精挑细选，适当加大难度；对其他学生阅读训练内容降低难度，贵在让学生坚持训练。 2、完型填空：具有一定的教育和启发意义。本文难度不大，大意应该很好把握，基本上没生词，题目设计考虑了语篇，逻辑性强，但通过阅卷发现学生得分悬殊较大。英语较好的只错3.4个，英语基础不好的同学只对了3.4个，其实完型是考查学生在阅读理解的基础上对语篇、词汇、语法的综合运用情况。从失分率高的小题可以看出，一方面，个别学生未真正把握整个语篇含义就做题导致失分；另一方面，大部分学生在名词和动词的词义辨析和固定搭配方面掌握仍不牢固，与单选似乎有着同样的问题，今后既要强化完形答题技巧训练又要多方面搜集两大实词的辨析与用法。

高中英语试卷分析 高中英语试卷分析（一） 一、试题结构分析 与历次月考相比，题型结构有些变化。没有了听力题，其它试题基本不变。客观试题占75%，其中，单项选择占15分，完形填空占30分，阅读理解占30分。主观试题即写作占25%（25分）整卷突出语篇能力、强调英语语言的运用。学案中的原题只出现在单选题型里占66.7%，占整个试卷的10%，合10分。总体来讲，试卷难度较小。单选题只考察了几个单词的用法；完形填空和阅读理解文章难度也很低。写作基本上还是简单的单句翻译。各种题型得分比例为：单选题69%，完形填空35%，阅读30%，写作28.5%。平均仅36分。及格率仅为2.5%.从写作来看，能写出几个正确初二难度的的英语句子的学生很少。学生的词汇量很少，多数学生达不到正常的初二年级水平。 试卷体现了语言交际性原则，加大了应用能力考查的力度，考查不只停留在对于语言知识的识记与简单再现上，而且考查考学生语言知识的运用能力，即词汇及重要句型所用的语境是否恰当、得体，是否达到准确表达思想的目的。

二、本班现状 由于学生基础相差太大，成绩很不理想。这里不提过多的的历史原因。本班所谓的优秀生学生（各科考试总成绩排在前十名的学生中，只有一人勉强算英语学科的优秀生，一名算得上中等生，其余的基本上在差生行列，各科发展存在严重的不均衡问题。另外一些英语成绩相对不错的学生的各科总成绩却排在 全班中下游。这种片刻现象反映了学生能力和学习兴趣的不均衡。在日常教学中经常出现这样令人尴尬的局面，在很多学生一再要求和追问下，不知不觉地就讲到了小学三四年级的内容，很多学生正听得饶有兴趣，常常突然有学生喊起来：“老师你在干什么？”他嫌讲的内容太没必要了。当然学生在考试中出现的问题，在一定程度上反映了>英语教学中出现的问题。如，我们的学案虽属新课标规定内容，且难度正常，但学生难以接受。降低难度当然没问题，但短期内学好七八年都没学好的内容是不现实的。而且这毕竟是高中教学，而且将来的考试不会降低标准。可能我们过于注重教学形式，忽视教学效果，词汇教学费力不小但收效甚微，记忆力和理解力是制约学生英语水平的提高的严重障碍。另外学生知识面狭窄也是一些简单教学内容显得得复杂。

一模高三英语试卷分析 叶静 一、整体情况 宿迁市2013届第一次模拟考试己经结束，试卷难度与高考很贴近，尤其体现在：单项选择的难度，阅读理解的人文性，时代性，多样性，以及书面表达的时代性等诸多方面。 本次考试我们学校各班平均分数都很低班。整套试卷综合性强，内容贴近生活、紧跟时代。从考试结果来看全卷的难度、区分度都把握得还可以。 二、分项分析 （一）除了听力之外，其它各项得分都较低，尤其是单选和阅读理解。全区任务型阅读得分为2. 3,写作得分为11分。 二、各大题中主要失分题及原因分析 第一部分：听力 这次听力情景丰富，内容真实，语言地道，语速适中，从出题角度来看，这次听力除了考查学生能否获取详细的事实性信息外，还有理解会话者的观点、态度及意图，推测关系、地点，概括主旨等需深层理解的题目。 第二部分：单项选择题 本次单项填空主要考查了高三复习中常规的一些单词、短语、语法项目，覆盖面较广, 并体现了尽量在不同的语境中运用英语的能力考查，学生错误率较高的为21, 23, 25, 28, 29, 30, 34, 35 这几题。 第三部分：完形填空 这篇完形填空是一篇励志型夹叙夹议文章，文章的主题很好，学生在通读整体理解文章的大意上有点的难度.而在解题时却对一些词比较生疏，再加上其他的新单词的影响和几个难句，导致学生得分不高。 第四部分：阅读理解 四篇阅读理解难度适中继续保持知识性、趣味性、时代性强，信息量大，题材与体裁广泛的特点，涉及人物故事类，科普类，文化教育类，人文地理类等体裁。错误较高的是56, 61, 62, 64 ,66 和67 题。 学生对词义的猜测，文章主题的理解概括，及推断题很差， 第五部分：任务型阅读 任务型阅读，本次任务型阅读要求每空填一个单词，与高考要求相符。这篇任务型阅读无论是从选材还是题目的设计上来讲都是非常成功的，能综合考查学生阅读中的寻找信息及对信息进行总结、推理、及进行相应的变化等方面的相关能力。题目中有根据关键词在文

高三英语试卷分析 高三英语试卷分析（一） 一、整体情况分析 本次考试听力为20分，笔试为130分。本次考试的命题坚持了“贴近高考，注重语言的情景性、运用性”的试题设计原则，注重考查学生的语言基础知识积累和在语境中运用语言的能力。试卷在选材上注重题材、体裁的多样性，文章内容贴近生活、贴近实际，具有积极的情感态度导向，完全体现了天津卷英语学科高考的命题特点。命题从总体上讲有较好的区分度，能反映出学生的语言运用能力，对下一阶段高三的英语备考工作也有着正确的导向作用。 三、具体题型分析 1、听力部分整体得分较低，原因是听力能力差，次要信息较多，学生易受干扰。总体而言，题目较易、较浅显，听力得分率相对较高。从主要的失分题型中，说明我们在以后的教学中不仅要进一步加强听力训练和方法指导，培养学生的预测和捕捉关键信息，以及综合理解语言信息的能力，还得夯实学生基础，提高学生的语言基本功，从而提高语言理解能力。 2、单项选择：学生对语法方面能力欠缺，其主要原因为高三学生对语法知识有些遗忘，而有些学生干脆就一直未掌握；学生尽管每天都在背词汇，但效果较差，更不能对词汇进行深层掌握。为此，在余下的两个月时间内，我们尽量加强重点词汇的检查力度，并及时归纳总结各种词汇辨析，力求少失分。 3、完型填空：完型是考查学生在阅读理解的基础上对语篇、词汇、语法的综合运用情况。从失分率高的题目可以看出，一方面，个别学生未真正把握整个语篇含义就做题导致失分；另一方面，大部分学生在名词和动词的词义辨析和固定搭配方面掌握仍不牢固，与单选似乎有着同样的问题，今后既要强化完形答题技巧训练又要多方面搜集两大实词的辨析与用法。 4、阅读理解：此次4篇阅读难度适中，学生在查找个别细节、目的归纳、猜测词义、推理判断题上的能力仍然较弱，原因是学生不善于利用有效的信息进行排除和合理的推断，没有掌握如何从整体上、宏观上把握文章的脉络，明确段意，理解文章中心和作者的写作意图的技巧。其它原因：1）部分学生基础薄弱，阅读速度不够，造成阅读时间不足，文章来不及细读。2）学生词汇量不够，造成理解难度增大，解题正确率低。3）分析信息，处理信息能力差，无法合理分析关键信息，提取有效信息，耗费了很多时间，结果事倍功半。4）知识面陕窄。今后应更加注重学生读的能力的训练。 第五部分：任务型阅读 这篇任务型阅读无论是从选材还是题目的设计上来讲都是较为成功的，能够综合考查学生阅读中寻找信息及对信息进行总结、推理以及进行相应的变化等方面的相关能力。难度一般，题目中只有个别根据关键词在文中相关位置直接找出答案的细节题，大部分都需要学生对句子理解后加以适当转换的题型。 第六部分：书面表达 本次书面表达内容话题与学生实际密切相关，关于心理状态和对考试的认识。但从阅卷的情况来看，书面表达中还存在以下几点问题： 1 .要点不齐全。有点要点容易被学生遗漏或表达不清，反映第一轮复习还不够扎实。 2.基本功不扎实，出现了很多语法错误和汉语式英语的表达方式。更不能使用一些

考试六大应试技巧 一、自我暗示、消除焦虑 ①自我暗示法。用平时自己考试中曾有优异成绩来不断暗示自己：我是考生中的佼佼者；我一定能考得理想的成绩；我虽然有困难的题目，但别人不会做的题目也很多。 ②决战决胜法。视考场为考试的大敌，用过去因怯场而失败的教训鞭策自己决战决胜。 二、整体浏览，了解卷情 拿到试卷后，在规定的地方写好姓名和准考证号后，先对试卷进行整体感知，看看这份试卷共多少页、总题量是多少、分哪几大部分、有哪几种题型。这样不仅可以要防止试卷错误，尽早调换，避免不必要的损失；而且通过对全卷作的整体把握，能尽早定下作战方案。 重要的是初步了解下试卷的难易度，以便自己合理安排答题时间，避免会做的没有做，不会做的却浪费了时间的情况出现。 三、“两先两后”，合理安排 ①先易后难 ②先熟后生 四、“一慢一快”，慢中求快 一、书写速度应快，不慢慢吞吞。二、书写的内容要简明扼要，不拖泥带水，噜嗦重复，尽量写出得分点就行了。 五、分段得分，每分必争 对于会做的题目。对会做的题目要解决对而不全的老大难问题，如果出现跳步往往就会造成丢分的情况，因此，答题过程一定规范，重要步骤不可遗漏，这就是分段得分。 对于不会做的题目，这里又分两种情况，一种是一大题分几小题的，一种是一大题只有一问的。对于前者，我们的策略是“跳步解答”，第一小题答不出来，就把第一小题作为已 知条件，用来解答第二小题，只要答得对，第二小题照样得分。对于后者，我们的策略是“缺步解题”，能演算到什么程度就什么程度，不强求结论。这样可以最大程度地得到分数。 六、重视检查环节 如果自己的考试时间还有些充裕，那么根不可匆忙交卷，而应作耐心的复查。将模棱两可的及未做的题目最后要进行检查、作答，特别是填空题、选择题不要留空白。
