第二篇:大学英语泛读期末考试试题
大学英语泛读期末考试试题(B)(1)(1)When young people get their first real jobs, they may face a lot of new, confusing situations.They may find that everything is different from the way things were at school.It is also possible that they will feel uncomfortable and insecure in both professional and social situations.Eventually, they realize that university classes can't be the only preparation for all of the different situations that arise in the working world.Perhaps the best way to learn how to behave in the working world is to identify a worker you admire and observe his behavior.In doing so, you will be able to see what it is that you admire in this person.For example, you will observe how he acts in a crisis.Perhaps even more important, you will be able to see what is his approach to day-to-day situations.While you are observing your colleague, you should be asking yourself whether his behavior is like yours and how you can learn from his responses to a variety of situations.By watching and learning from a model, you will probably begin to identify and adopt good working habits.1.The young people just graduated from school may not behave well in the working world, because _____.A.what they learned in university classes is not adequate for their new life
B.they are not well educated C.the society is too complicated to adapt to
D.they failed to work hard at school 2.In the last line of the first paragraph, the word “arise” means _____.A.bring about
B.come into being
C.occur to
D.cause to happen 3.The best way to learn how to behave in the working world is _____.A.to find a worker and follow him closely
B.to find a person you admire and make friends with him C.to find a person you respect and watch carefully how he acts in different situations D.to make the acquaintance of a model you admire 4.In the last line of the second paragraph, the word “approach” means_____.A.means of entering
B.speaking to someone for the first time C.way of coming nearer to
D.manner of doing something 5.The passage could be best entitled _____.A.“Learn from a Model”
B.“Learn, Learn and Learn Again”
C.“Learn Forever”
D.“One Is Never Too Old to Learn”(2)The first English window was just a slit in the wall.It was cut long, so that it would let in as much light as possible, and narrow, to keep out the bad weather.However, the slit let in more wind than light.This is why it was called “the wind's eye.” The word window itself comes from two Old Norse words for wind and eye.Before windows were used, the ancient halls and castles of northern Europe and Britain were dark and smoky.Their great rooms were high, with only a hole in the roof to let out the smoke from torches and cooking fires.As time went on, people wanted more light and air in their homes.They made the wind's eyes wider so as to admit air and light.They stretched canvas of tapestry across them to keep out the weather.1.The first window was a _____.A.large hole in the wall
B.hole covered with canvas
C.slit in the wall
D.slit with a piece of paper over it 2.The word window meant _____.A.opening to look through
B.light given
C.wind
D.wind's eye 3.The window got its name because it _____.A.kept out the wind
B.blew out the smoke
C.let in more wind than light
D.let in mostly light 4.In the ancient castles, smoke went out through _____.A.the windows

C.the chimney
D.a hole in the roof 5.It seems true that the larger, canvas-covered windows _____.A.were not as good as the first windows
B.let in more light and kept out more wind
C.did not let any air in
D.were as good as today's windows(3)It was once believed that a person was in great danger when he sneezed-people imagined that the soul could escape from the body at the moment of sneezing.“God bless you” was a prayer for assistance in keeping the soul where it belonged.The German word Gesundheit(good health)is a variation of this prayer;the Irish deiseal and the Italian felicita are similar prayers.The Hindus say a word that means “live,” and when a Mohammedan sneezes, he praises God.The Zulus of South Africa, far from being afraid of sneezes, believe that a sneeze signifies a friendly spirit's blessing.Whenever a child sneezes, they shout “Grow!” hoping the friendly spirit that stimulated the sneeze will help the child grow tall and strong.The ancient Hebrews also believed that a sneeze was good-a sneeze indicates life;the dead never sneeze.The Japanese say that if you sneeze once, someone is saying good things about you;if you sneeze twice, bad things are being said about you;if you sneeze three times, you have caught a cold.1.People once thought that anyone who sneezed was _____.A.sick
B.in danger
C.in good health
D.evil 2.“God bless you” was said in order to _____.A.make children grow tall and strong
B.insure good health
C.keep the soul in the body
D.prevent someone from saying evil things about the sneezer 3.Gesundheit is a sneezing prayer most like _____.A.the Zulu prayer
B.“God bless you”
C.the Japanese prayer
D.a warning 4.The Zulus believe that sneezing is caused by _____.A.a good spirit
B.a bad spirit
C.illness
D.children 5.It would be reasonable to conclude that _____.A.many people say prayers when they sneeze
B.a prayer keeps the soul where it belongs C.all peoples were afraid of sneezes
D.the moment of sneezing is very dangerous(4)Brenda Linson never goes anywhere without an empty spectacles case.It is as vital to her as her purse.Yet, she doesn't wear glasses.The reason she can't do without it is that she can't read and she can't write.If ever she gets into any situation where she might be expected to do either of these things, she fishes around in her bag for the specs case, finds it's empty, and asks the person concerned to do the reading for her.Until a few months ago hardly anybody knew about her problem.Her husband didn't know and her children didn't know.The children still don't.She had any number of tactics for hiding her difficulty-for example, never lingering near a phone at work, in case she had to answer it and might be required to write something down.It has never occurred to the children that their mother cannot read.She doesn't read them stories, but then their father doesn't either, so they find nothing surprising in the fact.Similarly they just accept that Dad is the one who writes the sick notes and reads the school reports.Now that the elder boy Tom is quite a proficient reader, Brenda can skillfully get him to read any notes brought home from school simply by asking, “What's that all about, then?” Brenda's husband never guessed the truth in ten years of marriage.For one thing, he insists on handling all domestic correspondence and bills himself.A salesman for a large company, he travels a great deal and so is not around so much to spot the truth.While he's away Brenda copes with any situations by explaining that she can't do anything until she's discussed it with her husband.Brenda was very successful in her job until recently.For the last five years she had worked as waitress at an expensive restaurant, and had eventually been promoted to head waitress.She kept the thing a secret there too, and got over the practical difficulties somehow.1.Brenda carries an empty spectacles case wherever she goes because_____.A.she is always so forgetful
B.she uses it as a purse C.it may provide her with an excuse
D.she wishes to look like an educated woman 2.The word “fish” in the first paragraph means _____.A.search B.pretend C.examine D.touch 3.Brenda's children have never found out about her problem as _____.A.she isn't often at homeB.they are too young to guess the truth C.they find it normal to ask their father for everything D.they think it natural that short-sighted people like their mother don't do much reading or writing 4.What most probably made Brenda try hard to hide her difficulty? A.Her desire to be successful in her job.B.Her fear of losing face.C.Her deceitful nature.D.Both A and B 5.Of the following suggested titles, which is the most appropriate? A.Brenda and Her Family
B.A Woman Who Doesn't Wear Glasses C.A Woman with an Empty Specs Case
D.The Miserable Life of a Waitress(5)George's case is not unique.In the last fifteen or twenty years, quite a number of men and women have chosen to drop out of the working world to try a different kind of life.Most of them are in their thirties and forties, often well educated, although all ages and backgrounds can be found among them.A variety of reasons have led them to give up their work and the security it provided.Some, like George, have given up a career that was demanding too much from them.Others couldn't stand the pressure and the competition.A thirty-five-year-old woman, who had a high position in her company, decided to leave when she found herself suffering from allergies that made her life miserable.She had two children and no savings;but even her anxiety about the future couldn't spoil her feeling of relief and her new peace of mind.Her health improved.She may never work again;if she does, she says that she will take small temporary jobs.Some people, on the contrary, have quit jobs that were boring or meaningless to them.An office employee who has been pushing papers(has been doing paperwork)for years may start wondering whether those papers are achieving anything.An engineer in a large company, aware that he could be replaced by any man with the same training, may come to feel unimportant as an individual.Such people leave their work in the hope of finding stronger interests and a sense of personal worth.There are also people who leave their work to fulfill an old dream, such as writing books, painting, sailing to remote islands, or growing fruit trees.An army officer left the service at thirty-eight to build doll houses, and another one, who had always been interested in archaeology,(考古学)did the same at forty-five to dig ancient Indian sites.His wife was delighted-instead of keeping house, she was going to satisfy her own dream of learning to make paper.But most of the men and women who drop out of the working world have no special interest and no desire to take up any occupation.They want only to enjoy their freedom, their independence, and their leisure.No more rushing to catch a morning train, no more commuter(通勤者)traffic, no more anxiety to please a boss, no more meetings, no more obligations to behave and dress according to the rules.This endless vacation does not necessarily bring happiness;many of those who have chosen it as a style of life admit that leisure, too, can become boring.But they still prefer it to their former existence(But they like it more than working for a living).The main problem remains the lack of financial security, for, with few exceptions, the “dropouts”(退出世俗社会的人)are not wealthy.And so they survive by selling their possessions, by borrowing from friends and family, and by taking an odd job(a small temporary job)now and then for a short time when it becomes absolutely necessary.Sam would never have understood their attitude.In the first place, he had never been unhappy with his occupation, and he had never felt any conflict between his work and his personal life.Neither had he ever dreamed of doing anything but selling groceries and chatting with Fred.And there was yet another factor.Today's dropouts can always find some small job to do when they are in need of money, or perhaps they can get unemployment compensation(补偿)from the government for a while.But Sam had lived through the 1930s, when work of any type was almost impossible to find.In those days a job, no matter how unpleasant or poorly paid, was a man's most precious possession.Losing it was a disaster;not looking for another one, a shame.As for not wanting to work at all, it was unthinkable, for society was not used to loafers(流浪者)then.A nonworking family man would have lost the respect of his friends and his place in the community of responsible men.George might have tried to explain to his father the new point of view, to tell him that people have a right to be free, independent, and to watch birds all day if they want to.But he would not have convinced Sam, for whom independence and leisure were luxuries that had to be deserved through hard work.Sam himself had enjoyed a vacation once in a while, and he had been happy to rest in the sun without his tie.But that was only because, having earned his fun, he could enjoy it with a good conscience(良心).It would have shocked Sam to learn that those “shameless” people who choose to live in unearned idleness(懒惰)have a good conscience too.1.In the last fifteen or twenty years, people like George have chosen to drop out of the working world because _____.A.they have earned enough money to spend for the rest of their lives
B.they are not well paid at work C.they want to live a more leisurely life
D.all of them have work that is too demanding 2.After leaving her position the thirty-five-year-old woman felt _____.A.relieved and peaceful, though worried about her security
B.bored, without friends and companions C.that she needed another job
D.the pressures and burdens of life 3.According to the text, people would probably not drop out of the work force if they _____.A.often worry about their work
B.work without any complaints C.find it very easy to do their jobs
D.don't mind being controlled by others 4.According to Sam, a man's value lies in _____.A.reaching a higher position in society
B.enjoying full freedom and independence C.working hard and having a good relationship with his community D.earning money and sending his children to colleges and universities 5.Which of the following statements might cause Sam and George to argue? A.To be either a shopkeeper or a geologist will give one satisfaction.B.Happiness can be obtained only through hard work.C.Dropouts live a happier life than anyone else.D.Dropouts live a miserable life if they have no financial security.01级泛读期末试题(B 卷)

Dogs are social animals and without proper training, they will behave like wild animals.They will spboil your house, destroy your belongings, bark excessively,fight other dogs and even bite you.Nearly all behavior problems are perfectly normal dog activities that occur at the wrong time or place or are directed at the wrong thing.The key to preventing or treating behavior problems us learning to teach the dog to redirect its normal behavior to outlets that are acceptable in the domestic setting.One of the best things you can do for your dog and yourself is to obedience train(驯服)it.Obedience training doesn't solve all behavior problems, but it is the foundation for solving just about any problem.Training opens up a line of communication between you and your dog.Effective communication is necessary to instruct your dog about what you want it to do.Training is also an easy way to establish the social rank order.When your dog o
beys a simple request of “come here, sit,” it is showing obedience and respect for you.It is not necessary to establish yourself as top dog or leader of the dog pack(群)by using extreme measures.You can teach your dog its subordinate(从属的)role by teaching it to show submission to you.Most dogs love performing tricks for you to pleasantly accept that you are in charge.Training should be fun and rewarding for you and your dog.It can enrich your relationship and make living together more enjoyable.A well |trained dog is more confident and can more safely be allowed a greater amount of freedom than an untrained animal.1)Behavior problems of dogs are believed to _______.A)be just part of their nature B)worsen in modern society C)occure when they go wild D)present a threat to the community 2)The primary purpose of obedience training is to _______.A)teach the dog to perform clever tricks
B)make the dog aware fo its owner's authority C)provide the dog with outlets for its wild behavior
D)enable the dog to regain its normal behavior 3)Effective communication between a dog and its owner is _______.A)essential to solving the dog's behavior problems
B)the foundation for dogs to perform tasks C)a good way to teach the dog new tricks
D)an extreme measure in obedience training 4)Why do pet dogs love performing tricks for their masters?
A)To avoid being punished.B)To show their affection for their masters.C)To win leadership of the dog pack.D)To show their willingness to obey.5).When a dog has received effective obedience training, its owner _______.A)can give the dog more rewards B)will enjoy a better family life
C)can give the dog more freedom D)will have more confidence in himself
Passage Two
Engineering students are supposed to be examples of practicality and rationality, but when it comes to my college education I am an idealist and a fool.In highschool I wanted to be an electrical engineer and, of course, any sensible student with my aims would have chosen a college with a large engineering department,famous reputation and lots of good labs and research equipment.But that's not what I did.I chose to study engineering at a small liberal |arts(文科)university that doesn't even offer a major in electrical engineering.Obviously, this was not a practical choice;I came here for more noble reasons.I wanted a broad education that would provide me with flexibility and a value system to guide me in my career.I wanted to open my eyes and expand my vision by interacting with people who weren't studying science or engineering.My parents, teachers and other adults praised me for such a sensible choice.They told me I was wise and mature beyond my 18 years, and I believed them.I headed off to college sure I was going to have an advantage over those students who went to big engineerng “factories” where they didn't care if you had values or were flexible.I was going to be a complete engineer: technical genius and sensitive humanist(人文学者)all in one.Now I'm not so sure.Somewhere along the way my noble ideals crashed into reality, as all noble ideals eventually do.After three years of struggling to balance math, physics and engineering courses with liberal arts courses, I have learned there are reasons why few engineering students try to reconcile(协调)engineering with liberal |arts courses in college.The reality that has blocked my path to become the typical successful student is
that engineering and the liberal arts simply don't mix as easily as I assumed in high school.Individually they shape a person in very different ways;together they threaten to confuse.The struggle to reconcile the two fields of study is difficult.6)The author chose to study engineering at a small liberal-arts university because he _______.A)wanted to be an example of practicality and rationality
B)intended to be a combination of engineer and humanist
C)wanted to coordinate engineering with liberal-arts courses in college
D)intended to be a sensible student with noble ideals 7)According to the author, by interacting with people who study liberal arts, engineering students can _______.A)balance engineering and the liberal arts
B)receive guidance in their careers C)become noble idealists
D)broaden their horizons
8)In the eyes of the author, a successful engineering student is expected _______.A)to have an excellent academic record
B)to be wise and mature
C)to be imaginative with a value system to guide him
D)to be a technical genius with a wide vision 9)The author's experience shows that he was _______.A)creative B)ambitious C)unrealistic D)irrational
10).The word “they” in “...together they threaten to confuse.”(Line 3, Para.5)refers to _______.A)engineering and the liberal arts B)reality and noble ideals
C)flexibility and a value system D)practicality and rationality Passage Three
Priscilla Ouchida's “energy |efficient” house turned out to be a horrible dream.When she and her engineer husband married a few years ago, they built a $100,000, three-bedroom home in California.Tightly sealed to prevent air leaks,the house was equipped with small double |paned(双层玻璃的)windows and several other energy |saving features.Problems began as soon as the couple moved in, however.Priscilla's eyes burned.Her throat was constantly dry.She suffered from headaches and could hardly sleep.It was as though she had suddenly developed a strange illness.Experts finally traced the cause of her illness.The leyel of of formaldehyde(甲醛)gas in her kitchen was twice the maximum allowed by federal standards for chemical workers.The source of the gas? Her new kitchen cabinets and wall |to |wall carpeting.The Ouchidas are victims of indoor air pollution, which is not given sufficient attention partly because of the nation's drive to save energy.The problem itself isn't new.“The indoor environment was dirty long before energy conservation came along,” says Moschandreas, a pollution scientist at Geomet Technologies in Maryland.“Energy conservation has tended to accentuate the situation in some cases.”
The problem appears to be more troublesome in newly constructed homes rather than old ones.Back in the days when energy was cheap, home builders didn't worry much about unsealed cracks.Because of such leaks, the air in an average home was replaced by fresh outdoor air about once an hour.As a result, the pollutants generated in most households seldom built up to dangerous levels.11).It can be learned from the passage that the Ouchidas' house_______.A)is well worth the money spent on its construction
B)is almost faultless from the point of energy conservation C)failed to meet energy conservation standards
D)was designed and constructed in a scientific way 12)What made the Ouchidas' new house a horrible dream?
A)Lack of fresh air.B)Poor quality of buildig materials.C)Gas leakage in the kitchen.D)The newly painted walls 13)The word “accentuate”(Line 4, Para.3)most probably means “________”.A)relieve B)accelerate C)worsen D)improve 14)Why were cracks in old houses not a big concern?
A)Because indoor cleanness was not emphasized.B)Because energy used to be inexpensive.C)Because environmental protection was given top priority.D)Because they were technically unavoidable.15).This passage is most probably taken from an article entitled “________”.A)Energy Conservation B)House Building Crisis
C)Air Pollution Indoors D)Traps in Building Consruction Passage Four
In 1993, New York State ordered stores to charge a deposit on beverage(饮料)containers.Within a year, consumers had returned millions of aluminum cans and glass and plastic bottles.Plenty of companies were eager to accept the aluminum and glass as raw materials for new products, but because few could figure out what to do with the plastic, much of it wound up buried in landfills(垃圾填埋场).The problem was not limited to New York.Unfortunately, there were too few uses for second |hand plastic.Today, one out of five plastic soda bottles is recycled(回收利用)in the United States.The reason for the change is that now there are dozens of companies across the country buying discarded plastic soda bottles and turning them into fence posts, paint brushes, etc.As the New York experience shows, recycling involves more than simply separating
valuable materials from the rest of the rubbish.A discard remains a discard until somebody figures out how to give it a second life-and until economic arrangements exist to give that second life value.Without adequate markets to absorb materials collected for recycling, throwaways actually depress prices for used materials.Shrinking landfill space, and rising costs for burying and burning rubbish are forcing local governments to look more closely at recycling.In many areas, the East Coast especially, recycling is already the least expensive waste |management option.For every ton of waste recycled, a city avoids paying for its disposal, which, in parts of New York, amounts to savings of more than $100 per ton.Recycling also stimulates the local economy by creating jobs and trims the pollution control and energy costs of industries that make recycled products by giving them a more refined raw material.16)What regulation was issued by New York State concerning beyerage containers?
A)Beverage companies should be responsible for collecting and reusing discarded plastic soda bottles.B)Throwaways should be collected by the state for recycling.C)A fee should be charged on used containers for recycling.D)Consumers had to pay for beverage containers and could get their money back on returning them.17)The returned plastic bottles in New York used to _______.A)end up somewhere underground
B)be turned into raw materials
C)have a second |life value D)be separated from other rubbish
18)The key problem in dealing with returned plastic beverage containers is_______.A)to sell them at a profitable price
B)how to turn them into useful things C)how to reduce their recycling costs
D)to lower the prices for used materials 19)Recycling has become the first choice for the disposal of rubbish because _______.A)local governments find it easy to manage
B)recycling has great appeal for the jobless C)recycling causes little pollution
D)other methods are more expensive 20)It can be concluded from the passage that _______.A)rubbish is a potential remedy for the shortage of raw materials
B)local governments in the U.S.can expect big profits from recycling C)recycling is to be recommended both economically and environmentally D)lanfills will still be widely used for waste disposal 2009年成考高中起点 英语试卷及参考答案

If I failed, would I be okay facing them? And: t thought, 'So what? I can go back for further study in medicine.' I started to accept that it would be okay to say, 'I failed, but I tried.' Once I was comfortable with that th6fight, the fear came to an end.I realized I feared regret more than failure.And after you turn to the path you choose, there is nothing acceptable but Success” Now, Rose has no regrets about leaving medicine.“What I'm doing is not all that different from: what I Was doing as a doctor.The goal is the same: to relieve(减轻)pain.A former professor told me: 'You're helping hundreds of thousands of women with your shoes.As a doctor, you would have helped only the few who went to your office.You're having a much greater effect.' Looking back, Rose admits she caught a couple of lucky breaks.”To me, luck is about being prepared for those opportunities(机会)that come knocking.You have to have an open mind, the right skilis and all your senses working 'to see what opportunities present themselves.Luck can open the door, but you still have to walk through it.“ 36.Before starting:her shoe business, Taryn Rose was a

We decided to find out if good manners are really hard to see.In this politeness study, reporters were sent to many cities in the world.They performed three experiments: ”door tests“(would anyone hold the door open for them?);”paper drops“(who would help them gather a pile of ”accidentally“ dropped papers?);and ”service tests“(which salesclerks would thank them for a purchase [购物]?)In New York, 60 tests(20 of each type)were done.Along the way, the reporters met all types of people: men and women of different races, ages, professions(职业), and income levels.And guess what?

It's fun!You don't have to give up the foods you love or do regular exercises.It's about balancing calories(平衡卡路里)in tiny ways that add up to big benefits(好处).You just use some tricks the ”naturally thin" people do.Pick the ones you like, stick with them, and you'll lose weight and be strong!Talk it UP Every time you pick Up the phone, stand up and walk around.Heavy people sit on average two and h half hours more every day than thin people, according to astudy.Get face time We use e-mailso much that we've forgotten what our colleagues look like.Pick a colleague or two who sit farthest from you: and deliver 10 of those daily messages in person.And go out of your way: go to a bathroom ora copy machine on another floor and take the stairs, of course.Think about your drink Consider beer or wine instead of a frozen drink: A glass of regular beer has 140 calories and a serving of wine has 126 calories, while a strawberry daiquiri has about 300 and a margarita 340.Reduce a total of 100 calories each day and you'll be able to lose about 10 pounds in a year.This is really not difficult to do.47.What is mainly talked about in the passage?

第三篇:浅谈英语泛读
浅谈英语泛读
中学英语教科书服务大纲所规定的教学目的就是提供给师生重要的教学材料。教材的组成是:听力训练、学生课本、阅读训练及练习册。套教材设计,其实是通过泛读、精读、听力的各项训练中来判别的,来培养学生听、说、读、写、译等各项方面的综合性能力,用来发展学生英语交际能力,加快学生的阅读速度。阅读又可分为精读、泛读和快速阅读,因此,学生课本以及学生用书都是精读课本,阅读训练属泛读内容。泛读和精读是和教学在高中英语教学中相辅相成的,听力训练和阅读训练是一个有机整体,重视高中英语泛读教学是英语教学的内在要求。
一、英语泛读缺位的原因
《高中英语课程标准》中讲到:“除教材之外,课外阅读量六级达到20万以上,七级要达到30万以上,八级要达到36万以上。”从这一要求当中我们就可以看出泛读教学的重要性。平时加强泛读教学能激发学生阅读的兴趣,增加他们的知识面,扩大他们的眼界,培养他们的阅读技巧和策略,为高考英语速度和质量做了一个很好的铺垫。既然泛读教学如此重要,那为什么高中英语泛读教学会存在缺位现象呢?究其原因有如下几点:
1.教师认识不到位,学校领导重视不够,教学管理部门监管缺失,学生课业负担重等方面原因同时存在。具体表现为:学校领导没有重视泛读科目;教师精、泛读之间的关系及泛读教学对学生英语学习影响也没有很强的意识;教学的管理部门不能提供政策上的引导与督促;学生会忽视泛读学习,是因为疲劳的应付各 种练习题、模拟题,而课业的负担也很重。
2.有的教师虽然也提倡课外阅读,同时也会布置相关任务(如概括中心思想或写篇心得体会),但由于布置的任务跟作文相似,批起来时间长任务繁重,并且手头要忙的作业太多,无法顾及每个学生特殊的情况。同时也缺乏有序的组织和有效地监督,所以久而久之即使布置也如形同虚设。
3.从学生角度讲,他们由于应付各科作业,背诵已经花很多时间,尽管对有些跟他们生活息息相关的文章感兴趣,但由于要完成很多作业而无法自作主张。
4.有些学生虽然有这种扩大阅读量的意识,在实践中却又无法坚持,经常是“三天打鱼,两天晒网”,有始无终,缺乏计划性和长期性。这样导致很多学生无法接触到大量的英语国家的信息和背景知识,使学生又处于知识面狭窄的状况,这样又影响了他们阅读能力的提高。
5.还有的学生不要说不进行泛读训练,即使在平时做的阅读理解 中也采取划答案找答案的做题规律,根本不重视篇章的理解和文章的结构,常常在选标题时以文章中的例子为标题。因为平时老师在做阅读理解时总是有过多的讲解,分析孤立的词汇与结构,学生也养成了不动脑经,不发挥联想的主动的创造性思维的能力。久而久之,学生把阅读看成是一件极其痛苦的事,为了做好阅读理解而阅读,根本领悟不到语言的美感,不能丰富大脑,不能从中获得教训或者是一个深刻的道理,达不成共鸣。
二、高中英语泛读教学的应对策略
英国学者弗兰克斯·格雷利特(Francoise Grellet)认为:“泛读是一种熟练活动,主要是解决对文章的综合理解问题。进行泛读训练时,首先应该从综合理解开始,然后再向详细理解过渡。要求学生完成的任务应该是综合理解性的。同时,设计阅读理解练习也应该是从对选文整体理解开始,而不是词汇或较具体的内容。” 高中的英语教师,应当在教学实践中努力开展好泛读教学。所以,怎样进行有效的泛读训练,笔者认为可以从以下几点入手:
1.立足于教材,上好每一堂整体教学课,充分把每个模块的Reading先整体教学,在整体教学的过程中同时扩充其他泛读材料进行有效地训练。
【案例】
如在教M6U4Reading“The UN------bringing everyone closer together”时,在学生回答了几个问题之后,我们就趁热打铁让学生把这篇文章分成四段,同时请同学告知每一段的节数,并写上段落大意。接下来请学生回答两个体现有概括性能力的问题,即:“Why does the author choose the title ‘The UN------bringing everyone closer together?’ Can you find some examples from the text?”和“What does the author feel about being a Goodwill Ambassador and what is her attitude towards wars and conflicts in the world?”紧接着引出这篇文章的Reading strateg,提问学生本文的作者的态度是favorable 还是unfavorable的,并且请学生们找出相关的句子和关键词来证明自己的观点。讲到这里我们趁热打铁,给出一些相关的高考题训练,如:Spring is coming, and it is time for those about to graduate to look for jobs.Competition is tough, so job seekers must carefully consider their personal choices.Whatever we are wearing, our family and friends may accept us, but the workplace may not.(2012陕西高考阅读理解D)Q:The author’s attitude towards strange styles in the workplace may best be described as ____B___.A.enthusiastic B.negative C.positive D.sympathetic 如果每个单元的课文能这样结合的话,学生在阅读技巧上肯定会日积月累,总有一天会有所突破的。
第二,给学生们的阅读材料要时代性的文章或者是能让学生看了一眼就能感兴趣的文章,也就是说与他们的生活息息相关的文章。笔者认为尤其是高一时一定要选生词不超过2%的文章,最好是与课文类似的,平时阅读理解完形填空中做过的文章,用这种泛读材料一可以让学生产生近距离感,二可以巩固已学知识,三可以简单讲评,只要求学生归纳出中心思想或划出主题句即可。
泛读课在中学阶段无法顺利开展的主要原因之一在于学校没有统一的泛读材料。如果教师只是口头强调增加阅读量的必要性,而不检测学生的阅读进展及效果,那么阅读效率永远得不到提高。在此步骤中,执教者借助统一征订的某一期报纸,通过抢答题与必答题的形式检测学生是否阅读以及阅读的效果。以上七道抢答题设置得比较简单,主要以扩大学生的知识面以及激发学生的阅读兴趣为目的。五道必答题是在抢答题的基础上,适当增加阅读的难度,主要是针对阅读文章的整体理解,旨在检测学生是 否读懂文章,是否理解文章大意,并不要求达到细节理解等深层次理解的程度。
Step 2 : Reading ability training(While-reading)本步骤主要由四个部分主成:
Training 1: Fast reading and guessing words 快速阅读——训练猜词能力,训练材料是与报纸第五版面相关的世博会话题。
Training 2: Words and expressions 词汇讲解——主要讲解文章中出现的生词及其 词缀以及没有任何生词但无法理解的习语。
Training 3: Difficult sentences 难句理解——处理影响学生对文章理解的难 句,难点在于虚拟语气。Training 4: Theme or opinion 总结归纳——训练学生寻找主题句、提炼观点句的能力。
本步骤目的:在阅读技能方面主要训练学生快速阅读、猜词以及理解文章主旨大意的能力。在词汇方面主要扫清生词和难句的障碍,扩大词汇量。
训练策略:词缀闪卡、猜测习语在语境中的意思、提问解答。本步骤时长:25分钟。
Step 3: Ability application(Post-reading)本步骤目的:即学即用,让学生在做中学。检测手段:高考阅读理解一篇、迷你辩论。本步骤时长:15分钟左右。执教者要求学生在六分钟内完成一篇2003年上海高考英语试卷阅读理解C篇,这是一篇议论文,是关于考试体系要保护还是废除的讨论。执教者经过略微修改,降低了三道选择题的难度。这三道选择题 分别检测了猜词、作者观点及文章主旨三个方面,考查学生对本节课训练的这三个技能的掌握程度。执教者指导学生先独立思考,然后再小组讨论。
第三,制定明确具体的泛读计划。泛读是提高学生阅读理解能力的主渠道。只有通过系统的、严格的阅读训练,才能使学生掌握正确的阅读方法和形成基本的阅读技能,加快阅读速度,扩大阅读量,提升语感。笔者认为从高一开始每周就可开设一节泛读课。假如每节泛读课读3-4篇300-400 字的文章,按每学期18周计算,一期可读70篇,高中三年累计可泛读300篇左右,其阅读量可达12万字左右,是中学六年教科书词汇总量的两倍。同时,泛读教学除了时间的安排要纳入计划外,我们也要规定 教学指标,如对阅读速度、阅读技巧等项目要做出具体的安排。
泛读的任务在于着重提高学生的阅读理解能力;培养细致观察以及假设、判断、分析、归纳、推理论证等逻辑思维能力;培养速读能力以及阅读的兴趣,扩大词汇量,拓展文化背景知识。从用途上看,泛读的实用性最广。在实际生活里,80%〜90%的阅读方式都是泛读。目前的英语阅读教学主要是整体阅读教学模式,而此种模式是建立在图式理论(Schema Theory)的基础上,其核心思想是理解新知识时,总是将新知识与已有的知识联系起来。显然,与话题有关的原有知识越多,阅读理解的难度就会越小。
第四,循序渐进方法灵活。泛读教学可分为课内阅读与课外阅读,首先在教 师指导下实施课内阅读,再扩大到课外阅读。泛读教学应从高一到高三不间断,教师可分三个阶段进行:
1.高一年级阶段
这一阶段,学生刚从初中进入高中,教师应注意初、高中英语知识的衔接,引导学生把精读课中学生所学知识运用到泛读课上,向学生介绍阅读技巧,利用阅读教材中的限时阅读材料加强学生阅读速度训练,同时,培养学生良好的阅读习惯,适当地进行口、笔头语言输出,主要以回答问题、角色扮演、转换角色、讲述、改写、缩写、续写课文等形式练习。教师的训练方法应得当,形式应灵活多样,教师可采取阅读前活动、阅读中活动、阅读后活动;根据阅读材料的类型运用串讲法、问题法、讨论法、默读记时法等形式吸引学生参与,活跃课堂气氛,增加师生互动的机会,从而有利于学生理解词、句子和语篇,激发学生的阅读兴趣与信心。
2.高二年级阶段 学生经过一年的英语学习与训练,词汇量大大增加,掌握了一些阅读技能,阅读速度比以前加快了,基本上养成了一些较好的阅读习惯,有了一定的阅读兴趣,但仍然需要教师的指导,这一阶段还要进一步加大阅读量,引导学生阅读《英语周报》、《21世纪报》等中级层次的英文报刊,并逐渐增加不同题材、不同体裁的命题话题、命题作文的练习。
3.高三年级阶段
学生经过两年的学习,词汇量加大,阅读速度大大加快,教师应鼓励学生进一步加大课外阅读,同时,继续加大命题话题、命题作文的练习,逐步加大训练 的难度强度。引导学生的阅读材料从《英语周报》、《英语画刊》等以课程练习为主的英语报刊杂志,到《英语沙龙》、《中国日报》等高信息量的阅读材料。
第五,选取适当的材料,注意方法育泛读材料选择相当重要。教师为学生选定泛读材料要具有足够的语言输人量,要具有思想性、时代感、知识性、真实性,具有可理解性,要题材广泛、体裁多样。泛读要注意方法,急于求成行不通,要循序渐进,方法单一效果难有保证,要灵活安排。方法的选择要根据具体情况区别对待。如对待不同的年级、不同的学生,要采取的方法也应有所差别,同样的学生在阅读不同类型的文章时,也要有所差别。
每天上课给学生一篇较短的泛读材料让他们限时阅读,读完后回答出大意即可。这样慢慢地就能培养学生的阅读速度和提高他们对把握整体的敏感度。除了回答中心思想,也可以采取复述,改写,缩写,续写等形式练习。如果能坚持一个星期写一篇文章的话,作文也相应得到了训练,对作文的提高也有着举足轻重的作用。还有一些学生有增加阅读量的意识,由于没有很好地计划性和长期性,所以经常有始无终。对于这些学生,笔者往往采取课后定期辅导,鼓励他们的同时给他们一个督促的作用,使他们能持之以恒而达到一个比较理想的效果。
不管是从理论中还是从实践中来讲,泛读课其实是高中英语教学绝对不能缺少的一部分,开设泛读课在高中英语教学中最基本的,也是绝对可以执行的。笔者认为,只要教师意识到泛读教学缺位带来的负面影响,更新观念,认识到位,措施得力,通过在教学中增加泛读教学,加大英语语言输入量,持之以恒地不断进行泛读教学,必然会逐渐改变英语教学中长期形成的“耗时低效”状况,起到事半功倍的效果。
第四篇:读书笔记(泛读)
Oliver Twist 《雾都孤儿》读后感
这部小说主要情节是,一个不知来历的年轻孕妇昏倒在街上,人们把她送进了贫民收容院。第二天,她生下一个男孩子后死去,这个孤儿被取名为奥利弗·退斯特。奥利弗在孤儿院里挣扎了9年后,又被送到棺材店老板那儿当学徒。难以忍受的饥饿、贫困和侮辱,迫使奥利弗逃到伦敦,又被迫无奈当了扒手。他曾被富有的布朗罗先生收留,不幸让小扒手发现又被带回贼窝。善良的女扒手南希为了营救奥利弗,不顾贼头的监视和威胁,向布朗罗报信,说奥利弗就是他找寻以久的外孙。后来,南希被贼窝头目杀害,警察随即围剿了贼窝。奥利佛终于得以与亲人团聚。
这本书中最让我敬佩的是奥利弗他并未向侮辱屈服,折磨也未能改变他善良的本性,在重重艰难之后他获得了幸福,奥利弗十分坚强和勇敢,而那些撒谎、欺诈、偷盗的人,真的很可恶。我记得古代有句话:人之初,性本善。我想,犯罪的人本性是好的,他的罪恶不是天生的,是因外界的不良影响而造成的,如果在现代社会中,人人学习奥利弗他那不弯腰,不低头,坚持不懈的精神,那么善良的本性不会消失。
Uncle Tom's Cabin《汤姆叔叔的小屋》读后感 《汤姆叔叔的小屋》记述的就是当时的故事。这本书无情地揭露了南方奴隶制度的残暴面目,重新激起了北方人民对它的极度义愤,从而南北矛盾尖锐,直至1864年美国国内战争爆发,因此它被认为是美国南北战争的导火线之一。小说以穿插轮叙的方式,描绘了两个黑奴不同的遭遇,对奴役的不同态度及不同结局。这是斯陀夫人独具匠心的地方。肯塔基州的一个庄园主谢尔贝因负债累累,受人钳制,被迫卖掉庄园上最得力、最忠实可靠的黑奴汤姆和谢尔贝太太宠爱的使女伊丽莎的爱子小哈利来抵债。伊丽莎偷听到消息,携子连夜逃走。途中夫妻不期而遇,在废奴派人士帮助下,逃到加拿大,取得了自由。后乔治决心到非洲为建设一个非洲人的国家而努力奋斗。这是一个敢于斗争的黑人青年,从而走上了光明的道路。汤姆则被卖给了奴隶贩子海利,在船上救了一个落水的伊娃,那小女孩的父亲圣·克莱亚就买他作家奴,待他宽厚。但老人不久死于非命,汤姆又落到了残暴的庄园主雷格里的手中。期间雷格里要汤姆鞭打女人,被他当面拒绝,后凯茜和爱弥琳设计逃走,他宁死也没有说出其二人下落,被活活打死。作者塑造了许多人物,汤姆是最主要的一个。他的忠厚和老实让我喜欢,他的正义感及助人为乐的精神更是令人敬佩。可他对宗教的笃信,实在让人费解,作者对此人的刻画有血有肉,让人感动。
Tess of the D'Urbervilles《德伯家的苔丝》读后感 《德伯家的苔丝》是英国着名小说家和诗人托马斯·哈代创作的代表作之一。苔丝本是一位纯洁美丽又非常勤劳的农村姑娘,她向往人生的真和善,但又时时遭到伪和恶的打击。苔丝的悲剧始于为了全家人生计去远亲家打工,却因年幼无知而被亚雷骗去了处女的贞操,成了一个“堕落”的女人,受到社会舆论的非议,把她看成不贞洁的罪人;苔丝后来与青年克莱相爱,又因为新婚之夜坦诚有污点的过去而被丈夫遗弃,而与近在眼前的幸福失之交臂;出于高度的家庭责任感和自我牺牲精神,苔丝为换取家人的生存而再次违愿沦为亚雷的情妇;最后因为丈夫的回心转意使得绝望的苔丝愤而举起了复仇的利刃,终于成了一个杀人犯,最后不得不付出了生命的代价,导致“象游丝一样敏感,象雪一样洁白”的苔丝最后终被完全毁灭。
苔丝在绿草如茵,风景如画的乡野里长大,尽管家庭生活窘迫,但少女时代的苔丝内心是明朗,欢快的。她热爱生活,敢于面对一切困难,为了维持家庭,不惜牺牲自己。苔丝一生都是强权和暴力的受害者。亚雷之所以敢称霸四野,为非作歹,为所欲为,不仅因为他有钱,有势,而且更主要的是有资产阶级国家机器,法律的保护。社会和法律都认为侮辱和迫害苔丝的人是正当的,而受迫害的苔丝则是有罪的。苔丝一生都必得逆来顺受,忍受含垢,不能自卫,而当她有生以来第一次起来自卫的时候,证明了,埃斯库罗斯所说的那个众神主宰对于苔丝的戏弄也完结了。

《小妇人》讲述的是马奇一家的故事。家里有四姐妹:追求高贵但会照顾人的大姐梅格,充满躁动却关心家人的二姐乔,优雅自私却颇得人爱的艾美以及忘我无私却需要家里人的贝思。她们的母亲是慈祥的马奇太太,父亲马奇先生随军当兵。这样的一家人和她们的邻居男孩劳里、劳里的爷爷劳伦斯先生、马奇婶婶,以及周围的朋友所发生的如家庭日记般简单的故事,却流露着耐人寻味的亲情、友情、爱情。
这本书告诉我们如何怀着一颗收获的心体会,感受并对待它们,并且试着像马奇一家一样,为了这些爱,变得更坚强独立。
书中有许多感人肺腑的话语:
贝思患病危在旦夕时,马奇姐妹在祈祷: “如果上帝赐给贝思一条生路,我一定不再抱怨。”
梅格虔诚低语“如果上帝赐给贝思一条生路,我一定爱她敬她,终生做她的奴仆。” 艾美伤心地哭了“假如失去温柔可爱的姐姐,即使有一千个一万个绿松石戒指,也不能给她带来安慰啊。”
乔认识了巴尔教授这个朋友后说:“嗯,冬天过去了,我一本书都没写,也没有发财,但是我交到了一个很值得相处的朋友,我要努力一辈子享有他的友谊。”
