一、比较《唐雎不辱使命》和《公输》完成下面练习。

【甲】

秦王怫然怒,谓唐雎曰:“公亦尝闻天子之怒乎?”唐雎对曰:“臣未尝闻也。”秦王曰:“天子之怒,伏尸百万,流血千里。”唐雎曰:“大王尝闻布衣之怒乎?”秦王曰:“布衣之怒,亦免冠徒跣,以头抢地耳。”唐雎曰:“此庸夫之怒也,非士之怒也。夫专诸之刺王僚也,彗星袭月;聂政之刺韩傀也,白虹贯日;要离之刺庆忌也,仓鹰击于殿上。此三子者,皆布衣之士也,怀怒未发,休祲降于天,与臣而将四矣。若士必怒,伏尸二人,流血五步,天下缟素,今日是也。”挺剑而起。.

秦王色挠,长跪而谢之曰:“先生坐!何至于此!寡人谕矣:夫韩、魏灭亡,而安陵以.

五十里之地存者,徒以有先生也。”

【乙】

子墨子见王,曰:“今有人于此,舍其文轩,邻有敝舆而欲窃之;舍其锦绣,邻有短褐,..

而欲窃之;舍其粱肉,邻有穅糟,而欲窃之。此为何若人?”王曰:“必为有窃疾矣。”

子墨子曰:“荆之地,方五千里,宋之地,方五百里,”此犹文轩之与敝舆也;荆有云梦,犀兕麋鹿满之,江汉之鱼鳖鼋鼍为天下富,宋所为无雉兔狐狸者也,此犹粱肉之与糠糟也;荆有长松、文梓、楩、枬、豫章,宋元长木,此犹锦绣之与短褐也。臣以王之攻宋也,为与此同类,臣见大王之必伤义而不得。”

王曰:“善哉!虽然,公输盘为我为云梯,必取宋。”

1、解释文中加点的词语。

挺()谢()敝()舆()

2、把下面两句话翻译成现代汉语。

(1)布衣之怒,亦免冠徒跣,以头抢地耳。

(2)此犹锦绣之与短褐也。

3、下面加点字意义和用法相同的一项是()

A、天下缟素吴广素爱人 .

B、怀怒未发野芳发而幽香

C、愿借子杀之呼尔而与之

D、吾义固不杀人固国不以山溪之险

4、【甲】【乙】两文段都以(对话)描写刻画人物形象,【甲】文中唐雎以“士之怒”反击秦王的(“天子之怒”),并效仿“三士”欲刺秦王,产生了(迫使秦王屈服,不辱使命,保全安陵国)的效果。【乙】文中墨子连用三个对比,将楚宋两国的特产作了比较,从而类推出楚国攻宋正如楚王自己所说的(“必为有窃疾矣。”)

5、【甲】文中唐雎针锋相对,寸步不让,使秦王理屈词穷。这场斗争,表现了唐雎的(凛然正气)和(不畏强暴)的布衣精神。【乙】文中墨子使用了(以子之矛攻子之盾)的策略使楚王理屈词穷,但楚王仗着楚国的实力仍不放弃攻宋,这说明要制止侵略(单靠说理式不够的,还得有足够的实力做后盾。)

6、唐雎与墨子都取得了外交上的胜利,避免了战争的爆发,唐雎主要是靠(勇敢)、墨子主

要是靠(智慧)取胜。

二、阅读《曹刿论战》与《得道者多助 失道者寡助》两个文段,回答问题。[甲]十年春,齐师伐我。公将战,曹刿请见。其乡人曰:“肉食者谋之,又何间(jiàn)焉?”刿曰:“肉食者鄙(bǐ),未能远谋。”乃入见。问:“何以战?”公曰:“衣食所安,弗(fú)敢专也,必以分人。”对曰:“小惠未徧(biàn),民弗从也。”公曰:“牺牲玉帛(bó),弗敢加也,必以信。”对曰:“小信未孚(fú),神弗福也。”公曰:“小大之狱,虽不能察,必以情。”对曰:“忠之属也,可以一战,战则请从。”

公与之乘,战于长勺(sháo)。公将鼓之。刿曰:“未可。”齐人三鼓。刿曰:“可矣。”齐师败绩。公将驰之。刿曰:“未可。”下视其辙,登轼而望之,曰:“可矣。”遂逐齐师。

【乙】天时不如地利,地利不如人和,三里之城,七里之郭,环而攻之而不胜。夫环而攻之,必有得天时者矣,然而不胜者,是天时不如地利也。城非不高也,池非不深也,兵革非不坚利也,米粟非不多也,委而去之,是地利不如人和也。故曰:域民不以封疆之界,固国不以山溪之险,威天下不以兵革之利。得道者多助,失道者寡助。寡助之至,亲戚畔之。多助之至,天下顺之。以天下之所顺,攻亲戚之所畔,故君子有不战,战必胜矣。

1.结合文意,解释出下列加点的词语得道

(1).肉食者鄙(2)亲戚畔之..

2.翻译下面句子。

(1)小信未孚,神弗福也。

(2)域民不以封疆之界,固国不以山溪之险、下列加点词义相同的一项是

(1)成,将以攻宋问 : 何以战(2)愿借之子杀之小大之狱....

(3)可以一战上下一白(4)国恒亡人恒过 ....

4.简要回答问题。

⑪曹刿认为“可以一战”的最重要的条件是什么?(用原文回答)

______________________________________________________________

⑫有人说,“长勺之战”的胜利,曹刿功不可没;但从某种意义上说,鲁庄公也有一定的功劳。你的看法呢?

______________________________________________________________

_______________________________________________________________________

5.读甲乙两文 回答问题()

1.甲乙两文的思想观点有相同之处、都着眼于“”。甲文认为()是战争取胜的先决条件,乙文认为“()”是取胜的重要条件。甲乙两文都运用了()手法,不同的是甲文用对比突出()的谋略,乙文用对比证明“()”的重要。

答案:1.(1)目光短浅(2)通“叛”背叛 2(这只是)小信用,未能(受到神灵充分)信任,神灵不会保佑你的。(2)管理百姓不能只靠划定的疆域的界限,巩固国防不能靠山川的险要。3.(4)4⑪小大之狱,虽不能察,必以情 ⑫本题是开放题,可从“有功”“无能”或“兼而有之”三个角度来答题,能自圆其说即可。从“有功”方面答:鲁庄公知人善任,用人不疑,虚心听取曹刿的意见,作为决策者,有一定的功劳。也可从“无能”方面答:鲁

庄公是个平庸的国君,作为统治者目光短浅,不能深谋远虑,他把战争的希望寄托在施行“小惠”和祈求神灵的保佑上,说明他政治上、军事上的无能,完全依靠曹刿的才能才取得

这场战争的胜利。也可以把“有功”“无能”结合起来答。5. 民取信于民人和对比曹刿得道

三、比较《曹刿论战》和《公输》,完成下列习题。

【甲】

十年春,齐师伐我。公将战。曹刿请见。其乡人曰:“肉食者谋之,又何间焉?”刿曰:“肉食者鄙,未能远谋。”乃入见。问:“何以战?”公曰:“衣食所安,弗敢专也,必以分人。”对曰:“小惠未徧,民弗从也。”公曰:“牺牲玉帛,弗敢加也,必以信。”对曰:“小信未孚,神弗福也。”公曰:“小大之狱,虽不能察,必以情。”对曰:“忠之属也。可以一战。战则请从。”

公与之乘。战于长勺。公将鼓之。刿曰:“未可。”齐人三鼓。刿曰:“可矣。”齐师败绩。公将驰之。刿曰:“未可。”下视其辙,登轼而望之,曰:“可矣。”遂逐齐师。

既克,公问其故。对曰:“夫战,勇气也。一鼓作气,再而衰,三而竭。彼竭我盈,故克之,夫大国,难测也,惧有伏焉。吾视其辙乱,望其旗靡,故逐之。”

【乙】

公输盘为楚造云梯之械,成,将以攻宋。

。。。

墨子起,再拜,曰:“请说之。吾从北方闻子为梯,将以攻宋。宋何罪之有?荆国有余于地而不足于民。杀所不足而争所有余,不可谓智;宋无罪而攻之,不可谓仁;知而不争,不可谓忠;争而不得,不可谓强。义不杀少而杀众,不可谓知类。”。。。

墨子曰:“荆之地方五千里,宋之地方五百里,此犹文轩之与敝舆也;荆有云梦,犀兕麋鹿满之,江汉之鱼鳖鼋鼍为天下富,宋所谓无雉兔鲋鱼者也,此犹粱肉之与糠糟也;荆有长松文梓职楩枬豫章,宋无长木,此犹锦绣之与短褐也。臣以王事之攻宋也,为与此同类。臣见大王之必伤义而不得。”

。。。

楚王曰:“善哉!吾请无攻宋矣。”

1、解释下列加点词语意思

肉食者鄙必以情地方五千里胡不见我于王

2、翻译下面句子。

肉食者鄙,未能远谋。

此犹文轩之与敝舆也

3、下列加黑词语的意思和用法完全相同的一项是()

A. 行十日十夜而至于郢。知而不争。

B. 胡不已乎?吾既已言之王矣。

C. 愿借子杀之。公输盘之意。

D. 子墨于解带为械。以牒为城。

4、【甲】文中曹刿认为可以一战的理由是 _小大之狱,虽不能察,必以情。_文中和毛泽东“敌疲我打”《孙子兵法》中“以逸待劳”战术相近的句子是_一鼓作气,再而衰,三而竭。彼竭我盈,故克之_。【乙】文中墨子和公输盘都是技艺高超的工匠,他们的斗技是很精彩的。“_九设九距尽_”说明这场模拟攻守战的激烈。但结果是墨子胜利了。“_诎_”字,说明公输盘已是黔驴技穷;“_有余_”则说明墨子占有绝对的优势。但公输盘并不死心,反而想加害墨子。两个“_吾不言_”说明此时两人心照不宜,剑拔弩张,气氛十分紧张。最后墨子揭穿了公输盘的阴谋,并宣布“__臣之弟子禽滑厘等三百人,已持臣守圉之器,在宋城上而待楚寇矣。虽杀臣,不能绝也。_”,这就使楚国侵略宋国的企图完全破产了。

5、找出曹刿与墨子的共同点。用自己的话说说曹刿的“远谋”体现在哪里?用简明的话说说墨子是怎样一步步止楚攻宋的。

二人都在各自的领域取得了胜利,都有智慧讲谋略。

曹刿有爱国热情,敢于负责任,有深谋远虑,有远见卓识,冷静沉着,有卓越的军事才能。

墨子先使公输盘理屈词穷;然后使楚王理屈词穷;最后模拟攻守,说明楚国攻打宋国不会有好结果,促使楚王放弃攻宋

四、比较《曹刿论战》和《孟子·生于忧患,死于安乐》完成下列习题。

【甲】十年春,齐师伐我。公将战,曹刿请见。其乡人曰:“肉食者谋之,又何间焉?”刿曰:“肉食者鄙,未能远谋。”乃入见。问:“何以战?”公曰:“衣食所安,弗敢专也,必以分人。”对曰:“小惠未偏,民弗从也。”公曰:“牺牲玉帛,弗敢加也,必以信。”对曰:..

“小信未孚,神弗福也。”公曰:“大小之狱,虽不能察,必以情。”对曰:“忠之属也。可以一战。战则请从。”

(选自《曹刿论战》)

【乙】人恒过然后能改。困于心衡于虑而后作。征于色发于声而后喻。入则无法家拂士,.

出则无敌国外患者,国恒亡,然后知生于忧患,而死于安乐也。

(选自《孟子·生于忧患,死于安乐》)

1.解释文中加点的词。

(1)牺牲:(2)衡:

2.翻译下列句子。

(1)何以战?译文:

(2)人恒过然后能改。译文:

3.齐鲁长勺之战,鲁国如果没有曹刿这样的贤士就不会取胜,这个事例恰恰证明了《生于忧患,死于安乐》中的“,”。(用原句回答)(3分)

4.找出【甲】段中集中体现曹刿政治思想的句子,【乙】段中体现文章中心论点的句子,分别抄写在下面。

5.从【甲】段或【乙】段中,选出你感触最深的一个句子,谈谈你的理解。

【答案】

1.(1)牺牲:(祭祀用的)猪牛羊等。(2)衡:通“横”,梗塞,指不顺。

2.(1)(您)凭借什么作战?

(2)人常常犯错误,这样之后才能改正。

3.入则无法家拂士 出则无敌国外患者 国恒亡

4.【甲】小大之狱,虽不能察,必以情。【乙】然后知生于忧患死于安乐也。

5.示例:“人恒过然后能改”这句话表明了每个人难免会犯错误,当我们敢于面对并勇于改

正错误时,就会不断进步。

Even at school there had been an unhealthy competition between George and Richard.

“I'll be the first millionaire in Coleford!”Richard used to boast.

“And you'll be sorry you knew me, ”George would reply, “because I'll be the bes lawyer in the town!”

George never did become a lawyer and Richard never made any money.Instead both men opened bookshops on opposite sides of Coleford High Street.It was hard to make money from books, which made the competition between them worse.

Then Richard married a mysterious girl.The couple spent their honeymoon on the coas—but Richard never came back.The police found his wallet on a deserted beach but the body was never found.He must have drowned.

Now with only one bookshop in the town, business was better for George.But sometimes he sat in his narrow, old kitchen and gazed out of the dirty window, thinking about his former rival (竞争对手) .Perhaps he missed him?

George was very interested in old dictionaries.He'd recently found a collector in Australia who was selling a rare first edition.When the parcel arrived, the book was in perfect condition and George was delighted.But while he was having lunch, George glanced at the photo in the newspaper that the book had been wrapped in.He was astonished—the smiling face was older than he remembered but unmistakable!Trembling, George started reading.

“Bookends have bought ten bookstores from their rivals Dylans.The company, owned by multi-millionaire Richard Pike, is now the largest bookseller in Australia.”

1.George and Richard were____at school.

2.How did George feel about Richard after his disappearance?____.

3.George got information about Richard from____.

4.What happened to George and Richard in the end?____.

How I Turned to Be Optimistic

I began to grow up that winter night when my parents and I were returning from my aunt's house, and my mother said that we might soon be leaving for America.We were on the bus then.I was crying, and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me.I remember that I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning.

I do not remember myself crying for this reason again.In fact, I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives.When we were leaving I thought about all the places I was going to see—the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures.The country I was leaving never to come back was hardly in my head then.

The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism, but the idea did not come to me at once.For the first two years in New York I was really lost—having to study in three schools as a result of family moves.I did not quite know what I was or what Ishould be.Mother remarried, and things became even more complex for me.Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other.I was often sad, and saw no end to“the hard times”.

My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home.I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated at interviews with immigration officers, took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there, and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives.

From my experiences I have learned one important rule:Almost all common troubles eventually go away!Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little!I believe that my life will turn out all right, even though it will not be that easy.

1.How did the author get to know America?____.

2.Upon leaving for America the author felt____.

3.For the first two years in New York, the author____.

4.What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 4?____.

5.The author believes that____.

(C)

My grandfather came from Hungary and was the only one in his family who settled down in the United States.The rest of his family remained in Europe.When World War I broke out, he seemed to have become another man, downhearted.Such obvious change was not born out of his welfare, but out of fear:if his only son, my uncle, had to go to war, i would be cousin fighting against cousin.

One day in 1918, my Uncle Milton received his draft notice.My grandparents were very upset.But my mother, at the age of 10, felt on top of the world about her soldier brother going off to war.Realizing how he was regarded by his little sister and all of her friends my uncle bought them all service pins, which meant that they had a loved one in the service.All the little girls were delighted.

The moment came when my uncle and the other soldiers, without any training but all in uniforms, boarded the train.The band played and the crowd cheered.Although no one noticed, I'm sure my grandmother had a tear in her eye for the only son.The train slowly pulled out, but not about a thousand yards when it suddenly paused.Everyone stared in wonder as the train slowly returned to the station.There was a dead silence before the doors opened and the men started to step out.Someone shouted, “The war is over.”For a moment nobody moved, but then the people heard someone bark orders at the soldiers.The men lined up in two lines, walked down the steps, and with the band playing, marched down the street, as returning heroes, to be welcomed home.My mother said it was a great day, bu she was just a little disappointed that it didn't last a tiny bit longer.

1.What the grandfather was most worried about was____

2.The underlined phrase“draft notice”means“____”.

3.What did the“service pins” (in Para.2) stand for in the eyes of the little girls?____.

4.Which of the following words can best describe the ending of the story?____.

For several months after her death, the husband did avoid other women, but then he met someone and fell in love. On the night that they were engaged to be married, the ghost of his former wife appeared to him. She blamed him for not keeping the promise, and every night she returned to haunt him. The ghost would remind him of everything that happened that day, even to the point of repeating, word for word, their conversations. It upset him so badly that he couldn't sleep at all.

Desperate, he sought the advice of a Zen master who lived near the village. "This is a very clever ghost," the master said upon hearing the man's story. "It is!" replied the man. "She remembers every detail of what I say and do. It knows everything!" The master smiled, "You should admire such a ghost, but I will tell you what to do the next time you see it."

That night the ghost returned. The man responded just as the master had advised. "You are such a wise ghost," the man said, "You know that I can hide nothing from you. If you can answer me one question, I will break off the engagement and remain single for the rest of my life." "Ask your question," the ghost replied. The man took a handful of beans from a large bag and scattered on the floor, "Tell me exactly how many beans there are in my hand."

At that moment the ghost disappeared and never returned.

4.阅读心得体会精选篇 篇四

书 亲人

我翻开了那本陈旧的万年历,那是一本勃勃的红本子,貌不惊人却勾起了我的回忆。

小时候,爷爷在睡觉前总会拿起这个红本子读上一两页。这时候爷爷就会带上他的桃木色的眼镜,在白帜灯的照射下,闪闪发光。爷爷就颇像一位演说家爷爷似的。爷爷读的内容虽然我一句也听不懂,但他的声音抑扬顿挫,不像庙里和尚念经令人烦厌,而是越听越令人着谜。有时爷爷睡不着,还会给我讲些故事,诸葛亮的空城计、草船借箭,水泊梁山各个好汉的故事,唐王李世民的故事等等,他讲起来从没有重复过。我睡着了,有时还能听见爷爷自顾自的讲着,那时真觉得爷爷是一位才学家。现在爷爷不再读书,也不再讲故事了。他的眼睛不好,戴上眼镜也无济于事。

每晚都需要我给她读一两页万年历,我读完他总会对我慈祥的笑说道:“小孙儿长大了!”我赶忙拭了拭眼角边的眼泪,关上书,回想着,回想着,自言自语道:

“此情可待成追忆,只是当时已惘然。”

书 友人

我翻开了那本《水浒传》。这书又厚又小,图片封面也不精美,可它却是我最为珍藏的书。我常打开看看,听着书页翻动的声音,沉思起了过往。

我们相识于那个炎热的夏天。我在超市里买雪糕时被你写的字所折服,那是你便在我心中有了深刻的印象。后来我们成了朋友。你是我这乡野孩子在大城市里的第一个朋友。看着你的各种才能我十分自卑,感叹自己是一位乡野孩子。你却真诚赞美我,从不觉得这有什么。想一想那个暑假真令人难忘。

几年后,我仍记得那天的离别。你叫住我,送给我一本《水浒传》,从此之后我们便分别了。我淡淡地回忆着这一些,慢慢合上书,随口吟诵了两句诗:

“挥手自兹去,萧萧班马鸣。”

书 历史

我翻阅着《二十四史》,仔细地看着每一页的每一句。听着书页翻动的声音,渐渐地我仿佛看到了什么。我看到了大禹站在黄河边儿望江水滔滔,汤伫立牧野听风声飒飒;我看到了周武王登楼望大军肃然,周幽王游戏看烽烟四起;我看到了屈原愁困做《离骚》,老子过关诚传《道德经》;我看到了秦王号令天下恐,项羽兵败乌江终;我看到了汉末黄巾作乱起,一朝天下三国分;我看到了三国江山归晋,晋朝山河天下乱;我看到岳飞精忠报国为国捐躯,文天祥一心为宋誓死不屈;,我看到了元王弯弓射雕一统江河,明王农家起义统江山;我看到了林则徐虎门硝烟炮声四起,关天培兵守虎门战死炮台......我陡然起立,仿佛立身长江岸边,望江水滔滔,流永向前,我感叹:

“大江东去浪淘尽,千古风流人物。”

每当我一翻开书,我渐渐的便能看见那私人圣贤所描述,前进的虚影若隐若现,那是多么美好。人生太过虚无缥缈,但我仍极力去追寻。

书香如影随形,伴我成长。

——漆春梅

幼儿园时,书籍就像一粒尘埃,小小的一点儿也不起眼。我坐在教室的角落里,静静地听着老师讲童话故事。故事可有趣了,我幻想着有一天我会变成一个骑士,保护我的亲人与国土。从此那里尘埃就成了一颗种子,在我心里生根发芽。

小学时,得到了好几本童话书。我于是整天的阅读,废寝忘食。他们带给了我与众不同的感觉。喜乐时,王子与公主幸福地生活在一起;悲伤时,恶毒的巫女毒害了无辜的百姓。书籍变成了一棵小树苗,茁壮地成长。

中学时我接触了更多的文学书籍,他们让我或喜悦或愤怒或伤感或痛苦,高兴的或痛恨的眼泪突袭而来。我恨不得进入书中,进入他们的那个年代,告诉他们应该怎么做,但事实不行,我们只是作为书外人,作为一个读者,隔岸观火。他们真实的感受,我们体会不到,但作者的文采让我犹如身临其境,我就像是那个年代的人一样。

书籍带给人们奇妙的感觉。书籍像一位知心的朋友,热切地替我答疑解惑,在我困苦时,能够及时的帮助我;书籍像一盏路灯,不断的指引我向前去探索未知的道路;书籍像一簇灯火,温暖了我的心。我们怀着热切的心去探索书中未知的世界。

书籍如太阳光下的影子,如影随形,伴着我成长,一如我的父母精心哺育我的成长。“黑发不知勤学早”,读书要趁早。

读书之感

叶常发

“我爱书。我常常站在书架前,这时我觉得我面前展开一个广阔的世界,一个浩瀚的海洋,一个苍茫的宇宙。”(刘白羽)

——题记

“因为有了书,人类文明的进步加速了。”当你漫步在文字的海洋中,你会感悟到圣贤与诗人们所想象的那种使人琢磨不透,但却又使人努力寻求的即真理。你会由衷的佩服先贤伟大,因为他们给后人留下了不可磨灭的精神财富,并且使我们的民族拥有了自己的骄傲。千年弹指一挥间,当其他三大文明灭亡了,我们中华文明傲然挺立在亚洲之上,在中华儿女的传承之下,继续被发扬光大。

“生活里没有书籍,就好像没有阳光;智慧里没有书籍,就好像鸟儿没有翅膀。”(莎士比亚)书在我们的生活中充当着我们的朋友的角色。它伴随着我们成长,给予我们知识,更在我们伤心难过时,带给我们心灵的抚慰。尤其是在那个“万般皆下品,唯有读书高”的年代,人们皆以读书为傲。他们通过读书来博取高官厚禄,改变自己的命运。在那些文人雅士的眼里,书籍更是他们遗留给后世子孙最大的财富。

“书籍使我们成为以往各个时代的精神生活的继承者。”(钦宁格)在书里,你可以看见在现实世界中没有的景物。当你沉迷在书海中时,你会忘记一切;当你从梦中醒来,你会感觉到此时的你似乎又与之前不一样了。当你感到人生的无味,或许只有在书里你才可以找到去路;当你失去了前进方向时,你会想到书上那些名人的励志故事,让你重新拾起前进奋斗的目标与信心。

当我们遨游在书海中时,当我们的心灵被知识所充实的时候,你回首,你会发现,我们通过读书获得了精神的滋养和心灵的愉悦,我们整个身体都得到了文化的升华。当你受过知识的熏陶,你会从内而外自然而然的散发出一种名叫涵养的气息。

书籍是我们生命中不可或缺的物品。“人的影响短暂而微弱,书的影响则广泛而深远。”我们因阅读而成长,世界因阅读而精彩。让我们在书籍中成长,在美好生活中创造出属于自己的世界吧。

读书的生活

程倩

书带给了我们对知识的渴望,开课了,我们的事业给予了我们落去读书,让生活越来越美好。

小时候读书这个词儿仿佛离我很远,我只听知道,听妈妈给我讲故事,而现在却又很近。在我上学后,知识的增长使我充满了好奇心,我便迷上了读书。书有一种令人无法摆脱的魔力,他紧紧的抓住了我,在书中,我得到了知识力量,在书中,我找到了目标和希望;在书中,我拥有了信心。书净化了我的心灵,给了我快乐,因此还闹出了不少笑话,我读的第一本书是曹文轩的草房子,那是本现实中的童话书,书的内容精彩极了,扣人心弦,在读书的过程之中,迷迷糊糊地听到妈妈在叫我,但觉就是被钉在了木板上,怎么也走不开,眼睛也像是被催眠了,想眨眼都难,妈妈没有得到回应,跑来找我,看到我这副痴迷的样子,怒气冲上心头,狠狠的教训了我一顿,我这才知道,原来是饭点到了,该吃饭了。

长大了,我更爱读书了,也更加明白读书的好处。我清楚了对世界的感悟,书照亮了我的新书,证实了我的世界的无知与想法,我认为我们应该像杜甫那样读书,这样你就会明白书的魅力。唐代大诗人杜甫,他从小酷爱读书,在不懂的地方反复读,细细品味,非要非要把书弄懂为止。就是因为他运用了啃书的方式去读书,他才能把书中的知识和力量吃透。我们学习知识,也需要采用这种方法,将难掌握的知识点根基扎牢固,然后再慢慢品读。想要成功,就必须先像杜甫那样爱上读书。

I’ve loved my mother’s desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as mother sat doing letters.Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the more wonderful thing in the world.Years later, during her final illness, mother kept different things for my sister and brother.“But the desk,” she’d said again, “it’s for Elizabeth.”

I never saw her angry, never saw her cry.I knew she loved me;she showed it in action.But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter.They never happened.And a gulf opened between us.I was “too emotional(易动感情的)”.But she lived “on the surface(表面)”.As years passed I had my own family.I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family.I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive(原谅)me.I posted the letter and waited for her answer.None came.My hope turned to disappointment(失望), then little interest and, finally, peace— it seemed that nothing happened.I couldn’t be sure that the letter had even got to mother.I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.Now the present of her desk told, as she’d never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work.I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside —a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded(折叠)and refolded many times.Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose.Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.根据短文内容,选择最佳答案。

Not many years ago, some farmers were worried because hawks were taking many of their chicken.The farmers didn’t know what to do.Finally they went to the country officials and asked for help.“Kill the hawks,” the officials said, “We will even pay for them,” so the farmers began to think of ways to kill the hawks.The farmers killed many hawks.They no longer had to worry about their chickens.But they now had a new worry.Field mice were eating up a lot of the farmers’ grain.How did this happen?

Hawks eat not only chickens but also field mice.They eat more field mice than chickens.But the farmers didn’t know this.When they killed a lot of hawks, they changed the balance.When people move into a new place, they often destroy many wild plants.Often these plants are food for the animals.If the animals can’t find enough plants to eat, they will starve or have to leave the place.In one part of the USA, for example the deer there like to eat a certain kind of wild roses.The mountain lions there eat the deer.The number of deer, mountain lions and wild roses doesn’t change much if people leave things as they are.But people killed many mountain lions in order to protect the deer.Soon there were so many deer that they ate up all the wild roses.Then the deer began to eat the green leaves of young trees.These trees were important to the farmers.So the farmers thought of ways to protect their trees.Now the deer had nothing to eat, and many of them died.This was another lesson from nature.To keep the balance of nature is important for us to remember.根据以上短文内容判断正误,正确的用“T”表示,错误的用“F”表示。16.Finally the officials told the farmers to kill the hawks.17.Field mice eat not only chickens but also the farmers’ grain.18.When the animals can’t find enough plants to eat in a place, they will starve or have to leave.19.The number of animals changes much if people leave things as they are.20.It is important for us to keep the balance of nature.Little Tommy was doing very badly in math.His parents had tried everything—tutors(家庭教师), cards, special learning centers—in short, everything they could think of.Finally they took Tommy to a catholic(天主教的)school.After the first day, little Tommy came home with a very serious look on his face.He didn’t kiss his mother hello.Instead, he went straight to his room and started studying.Books and papers were spread(铺开)out all over the room and little Tommy was hard at work.His mother was surprised.She called him down to dinner and as soon as he finished eating, he went back to his room, without a word.In no time he was back hitting the books as hard as before.This went on for some time, day after day while the mother tried to understand what was happening.Finally, little Tommy brought home his report card.He quietly put it on the table and went up to his room and hit the books.His mom looked at it and to her surprise, little Tommy got an A in math.She could no longer hold her curiosity(好奇心).She went to his room and asked, “Son, what was it? Was it the nuns(修女)?”

Little Tommy looked at her and shook his head, “No.” “Well then,” she asked again.“WHAT was it?”

When my family moved to America from a small village in Guangdong, China, we brought not only our luggage, but also our village rules, customs and culture.One of the rules is that young people should always respect(尊敬)elders.Unluckily, this rule led to my very first embarrassment in the United States.I had a part-time job as a waiter in a Chinese restaurant.One time, when I was serving food to a middle-aged couple, the wife asked me how the food could be served so quickly.I told her that I had made sure they got their food quickly because I always respect the elderly.As soon as I said that, her face showed great displeasure.My manager, who happened to hear what I said, took me aside and gave me a long lecture about how sensitive(敏感)Americans are and how they dislike the description “old”.I then walked back to the table and apologized to the wife.After the couple heard my reason, they understood that the problem was caused by cultural differences, so they laughed and were no longer angry.In my village in China, people are proud of being old.Not so many people live to be seventy or eighty, and people who reach such an age have the most knowledge and experience.Young people always respect older people because they know they can learn from their rich experience.However, in the United States, people think “growing old” is a problem since “old” shows that a person is going to retire or that the body is not working well.Here many people try to keep themselves away from growing old by doing exercises or jogging, and women put on makeup, hoping to look young.When I told the couple in the restaurant that I respect the elderly, they got angry because this caused them to feel they had failed to stay young.I had told them something they didn’t want to hear.After that, I changed the way I had been with older people.It is not that I don’t respect them anymore;I still respect them, but now I don’t show my feelings through words.By Jack

Minutes later I heard a voice that I knew very much, even after 40 years, laughed and cried and caught up on each other’s lives.Now the empty place in my heart is filled.And there’s one thing that Linda and I know for sure: We won’t lose each other again!

Yes, she.It’s true that male mosquito doesn’t bite(咬)and only the female mosquito bites because she needs blood to lay eggs.She is always looking for things or people she wants to bite.If she likes what she finds, she bites.But if she doesn’t like your blood, she will turn to someone else for more delicious blood.Next time a mosquito bites you, just remember you are chosen.You’re different from the others!If the mosquito likes you, she lands on your body without letting you know.She bites you so quickly and quietly that you may not feel anything different.After she bites, you will have an itch(痒)on your body because she puts something from her mouth together with your blood.By the time the itching begins, and she has flown away.And then what happens?

First, they pollute the air.Then, when it rains, the rain water comes down and makes our drinking water dirty.Dirty rain, called acid rain(酸雨), is also bad for plants, animals and buildings.Scientists say that in 30 years, more than half of the people in the world won’t have enough clean water.We have to learn how to save more water for ourselves and our children.Here is some advice for saving water: ●Turn off the water while you brush your teeth.You can save as much as 450 liters(升)each month.●Leaky taps(漏水的龙头)waste a lot of water.Fix them right away!

●You can easily cut your 10-minute showers(沐浴)in half—and you’ll be just as clean.●When you wash dishes, don’t let the water run.●Only wash clothes when you have a lot to wash.If your washing machine isn’t full, you’re wasting water!

A.Something must be done to prevent water form being polluted.B.Clean water means much to human beings and living things around us.C.It’s time to take care of the water we use.D.Water is the most important natural resource on the earth.Waste can be seen everywhere in the school.Some students ask for more food than they can eat and others often forget to turn off the lights when they leave the classroom.They say they can afford these things.But I don’t agree with them.Waste can bring a lot of problems.Although China is rich in some resources(资源), we are short of(缺乏)others, for example, fresh water(淡水).It is reported that we will have no coal(煤)or oil to use in 100 years.So if we go on wasting our resources, what can we use in the future and where can we move? Think about it.I think we should say no to the students who waste things every day.Everybody should stop wasting as soon as possible.In our everyday life, we can do many things to prevent waste from happening, for example, turn off the water taps(水龙头)when we finish washing, turn off the lights when we leave the classroom, try not to order more food than we need, and so on.Little by little, everything will be changed.Waste can be stopped one day, if we do our best.根据以上短文内容,然后从每题所给的四个选项中选择最佳选项。

Christmas Eve means a warm get-together with friends, a candlelight dinner, or perhaps a celebration at a pub(酒馆)for students.But, for Cai Yingjie, the night has a different meaning: helping beggars(乞丐)and the homeless(people without homes).Cai, who is a student in journalism at Tsinghua, could be found at Beijing’s Wudaokou Light Railway Station that special evening.When she saw an old beggar, she took the cold, rough hands of the woman with her warm, clean hands, and gave the woman some warm bread and helped her put on a pair of new gloves(手套).The woman was surprised for a few seconds, then burst into tears, saying “for the first time I feel respected(尊重)”.Cai said, “A beggar’s life is very hard.That’s why I want to help them.” Cai was one of 14 Tsinghua students spending Christmas Eve among the poor.They walked in the cold wind along the streets from 4 to 7 pm on Friday, visiting 15 beggars in Beijing’s Haidian District.They brought bread and gloves with them, and stopped to greet beggars and offer them some of the warm food.Each beggar greeted them with a look of surprise.“I know the activity can’t help much, but it’s meant to show our respect and care for beggars and the homeless who have been neglected for so long,” said Sun, head of the group.“And Christmas is a good time for that.”

What are you going to do if you are in a burning house? How will you escape? Do you know how to save yourself? Please read the following passage.Escaping a fire is a serious matter.Knowing what to do during a fire can save you life.It is important to know the ways you can use and show them to everyone in the family, such as stairways and fire escapes, but not lifts.From the lower floors of the buildings, escaping through windows is possible;learn the best way of leaving by windows with the least chance of serious injury.The second floor window is usually not very high from the ground.An average(平均高度的)person, hanging by the finger-tips will have a drop of about six feet to the ground.It is about the height of an average man.Of course, it is safer to jump a short way than to stay in a burning building.Windows are also useful when you are waiting for help.Be sure to keep the door closed.Or smoke and fire may be drawn into the room.Keep your head low at the window to be sure you get fresh air rather than smoke that may leaked(渗)into the room.On a second or third floor, the best windows for escape are those that open onto a roof.From the roof a person can drop to the ground more safely.Dropping onto cement(水泥)might end in injury.Bushes(灌木丛)and grass can help to break a fall.◆根据以上短文内容,然后从每题所给的四个选项中选择最佳选项。147.It is important to _______.A.put out the fire in the burning house B.know the ways to escape the fire C.jump off a burning house D.keep the door closed

A famous teacher was speaking to the students at our school.He began his lesson by holding up a ¥100 bill.Then he said to the three hundred students, “Who would like this ¥100 bill?” The students began to put up their hands at once.Then he said, “I am going to give this ¥100 to one of you, but first, let me do this.” He then made the bill into a ball.Then he said, “Who wants it now?” The hands went back into the air.“Well,” he said, “What if I do this?” and he dropped it on the floor and stepped on it.He picked up the dirty, crumpled bill and said, “Who still wants it?” Hands went back into the air.“My friends,” he said, “you have learned a valuable lesson today.No matter(无论)what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not go down in value(价值).It was still worth ¥ l00!”

In general,laws for children are a good thing.One hundred years ago in industrial countries, children worked 18 hours a day in a factory at age seven.The factory owner could beat a child who fell asleep or was not fast enough.Both parents and teachers could do the same.Today, there are many laws about children all over the world.Some people think children must obey rules or they should be punished,others do not agree.The Inuits or Eskimos in Alaska

almost never punish their children.The parents don’t hit them.If the children go too far,the parents punish them by making fun of them.Children in other parts of the world are not as lucky as Eskimo children.American parents can spank(打„„臀部)their children at home,but a teacher cannot hit a child in a public school.This is also true in Germany.In contrast(对比), it is against the law for anyone to hit a child in Sweden.Swedish parents cannot spank their children.The children also have a special government official who works for their rights.There is even a plan for children to divorce from their parents though this is not a law yet!

It’s hard to make friends if you stay at home alone all the time.Get out of the house and do things that will put you in touch with(接触)other people.It’s easier to make friends when you have similar interests.Don’t be afraid to show people what you’re really good at.Talk about the things you like and do best.People will be interested in you if there is something interesting about you.Look at people in the eye when you talk to them.That way, they’ll find it easier to talk to you, or people may think you’re not interested in them and may stop being interested in you.39 Be a good listener.Let people talk about themselves before talking about “me, me, me”.Ask lots of questions.Show an interest in their answers.Try to make friends with the kind of people you really like, respect(尊敬), and admire(羡慕)—not just with those who are easy to meet.Be friendly with a lot of people.That way, you’ll have a bigger group of people to choose from and have more chances for making friends.根据短文内容回答下列问题

Thanksgiving Day is a very special day for people in the United States.They celebrate it on the last Thursday in November.Canadians also celebrate Thanksgiving Day, but they do it on the second Monday of October.In Britain, where this festival is called Harvest Festival, people celebrate it earlier in the year, in September.A harvest is the fruit you take from the trees and the crops you take from the ground.In North America and Britain, harvest time for most fruit and crops is in the autumn.In these countries and other Christian places, people give thanks to God on a special day of the year.They thank God for the good things that have happened during the year and for the good harvest they have had.People usually take small boxes of fruit, flowers, and vegetables to their churches to show their thanks.The first thanksgiving service(仪式)in North America took place on December 4th, 1619 when 38 English people, arrived in America to make their home in the new country.They held this service not to thank God for the harvest, but to thank God for their safe journeys.The next year, many more English people arrived.They had a bad winter, but fortunately the harvest was good.They decided to celebrate it with a big meal.They shot and killed small animals to eat and cooked everything outside on large fires.About 90 Indians also came to the meal.Everyone ate at tables outside their houses and played games together.The festival lasted three days.A Thanksgiving Day celebration was held every year for a long time, but not always on the same day of the year.Then, in 1789, President George Washington named November 26th as the Day of Thanksgiving.In 1863, President Abraham Lincoln changed the date, and said that the last Thursday in November should be Thanksgiving Day.Nowadays, North Americans around the world get together with their families on this day to eat good food and have a happy time.回答问题 243.Is Thanksgiving Day celebrated on the same day in North American countries? 244.When did the first thanksgiving service take place in North America?

245.Who made the last Thursday in November Thanksgiving Day in the USA? 246.What does the word “fortunately” mean in Chinese?

Most people want to work, but it has become more difficult in today’s world to find work for everyone.The economy(经济)of the world needs to grow by 4% each year just to keep the old number of jobs for people.Often this is not possible, and so more people are out of work.Some people have no jobs now because new machines can do the work of many people in short time.Also, machines do not ask for more money and longer holiday.In all of the countries of the world, machines are taking work from people, not only in factories but also on the farms.One machine can often do the work from forty people.About 75,000 people are moving to the cities a day to look for jobs, but only 70% of them can find jobs.248.It was _______ for people to find work before than today.A.not possible B.difficult C.more difficult D.easier

249.If the economy of the world grows by 4% each year, _______.A.people will have no jobs B.people can still have jobs as before C.4% of the people will have jobs D.97% of the people will have jobs

250.One machine can do as much work as _______.A.40% of the people B.4% of the people in the world C.40 people D.75,000 people

A young man once went into town and bought himself a pair of trousers.When he got home, he

went upstairs to his bedroom and put them on.He found that they were about two inches too long.He came downstairs, where his mother and his two sisters were washing up tea things in the kitchen.“These new trousers are too long.” He said.“ They need shortening(缩短)by about two inches.Would one of you mind doing this for me, please?” His mother and sisters were busy and none of them said anything.But as soon as his mother had finished washing up, she went quietly upstairs to her son’s bedroom and shortened the trousers by two inches.She came downstairs without saying anything to her daughters.Later on, after supper, the elder sister remembered her brother’s trousers.She was a kind-hearted girl, so she went quietly upstairs without saying anything to anyone, and shortened the trousers by two inches.The younger sister went to the cinema, but when she came back, she , too, remembered what her brother had said.So she ran upstairs and took two inches off the legs of the new trousers.253.The young man bought the new trousers _______ his size.A.as long as B.two inches longer than C.as big as D.two inches shorter than

When you are learning English, you find it not clever to put an English sentence, word for word, into your own language.Take the sentence “How do you do?” as an example.If you look up each word in the dictionary, one at a time, what is your translation? It must be a wrong sentence in your own language.Languages do not just have different sounds;they are different in many ways.It’s important to master(掌握)the rules(规则)for word order in the study of English, too.If the speaker puts

words in a wrong order, the listener can’t understand the speaker’s sentence easily.Sometimes when the order of words in an English sentence is changed, the meaning of the sentence changes, but sometimes the order is changed, the meaning of the sentence doesn’t change.Let’s see the difference between the two pairs of sentences.“She only likes apples.” “Only she likes apples.”

“I have seen the film already.” “I have already seen the film.”

When you are learning English, you must do your best to get the spirit(精神实质)of the language and use it as the English speaker does.258.From the passage we know that _______when we are learning English.A.we shouldn’t put every word into our own language B.we should look up every word in the dictionary C.we need to put every word into our own language D.we must read word by word

259.The writer thinks it is _______ in learning English.A.difficult to understand different sounds B.possible to remember the word order C.important to master the rules in different ways D.easy to master the rules for word order

260.We can learn from the passage that ________.A.the meaning of an English sentence always changes with the order of the words B.The order of words can never change the meaning of an English sentence C.sometimes different order of words has a different meaning D.if the order of words is different, the meaning of the sentence must be different

261.“She only likes apples.” ________.A.is the same as “Only she likes apples.” B.is different from “Only she likes apples.” C.means “She likes fruit except apples.” D.means “She doesn’t like apples.”

262.Which is the best title(标题)for this passage? A.Different Orders, Different Meanings B.How to Speak English C.How to Put English into Our Own Language D.How to Learn English

I will never forget the lesson which Mr.Li gave us.One day Mr.Li was speaking to us in our school meeting room.He began his speech by holding up a ¥100 bill.He asked, “Who would like this ¥ 100 bill?” Most of us put up our hands quickly.Then he said, “I am going to give this ¥ 100 to one of you, but first let me do this.” He then made the bill into a ball and said, “Who wants it now?” We raised our hands again.But he said, “Wait a moment.” He then dropped it on the floor and stepped on it.After that, he picked up the dirty bill and said, “Who still wants it?” Many hands were still up.“My friends,” he said, “you have learned a valuable lesson today.No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not go down in value.It was still worth ¥100!”

“We always lose many chances we take in our lives.” He went on speaking, “We feel as if we are worth nothing.But remember, no matter what has happened to you, you will never lose your value, you are always valuable to those people who love you.Your value doesn’t come from what you do or who you know, but WHO YOU ARE.”

We are already familiar with computers—computers work for us at home, in offices and in factories.But it is also true that many children today are using computers at schools before they can write.What does this mean for the future? Are these children lucky or not? Many people who do not know about computers think of them as machines that children play with.They worry that children do not learn from experience but just from pressing a button and that this is not good for them.They think that children are growing not knowing about the real world.But people who understand more about computers say that computers can be very good for children.A computer can help them to learn about the real world more quickly, to learn what they want to learn and think for themselves.And for the future, don’t we need people who can think clearly, who know how to get information quickly and use it well?

7.作文阅读篇 篇七

一﹑阅读课材料的选择

阅读课的传统做法非常落后,其教学过程和方法的主要缺点是机械性地学习,容易使学生感觉紧张又索然无趣。因此,我们在开设阅读课时,首先从材料的选择上进行改革,放弃以往的短文阅读理解,结合学生的兴趣特点、阅读水平﹑接受能力和表达能力,广泛拓宽题材范围。(一)新近出版的英文报纸、杂志上的阅读材料。精选新近出版的英文报纸、杂志上的阅读材料。这些材料具有以下几个特点:特点之一是题材多样,内容新颖﹑丰富;特点之二是文字难度适中﹑篇幅长度灵活。(二)英文科技文章。当代科学技术发展迅速,每天大量的英语科技文章和其他科技资料发表在各类报刊和网络上,学生想及时掌握最新的科技信息,把握现代科技发展的脉搏,最好的办法是直接阅读科技文章,获取第一手信息。科技文章是一门专业性很强的课程,但是如果学生有较好的英语基础,再掌握英语阅读的技巧,阅读科技文章就并不难。(三)英语短篇小说阅读材料。阅读英语短篇小说,旨在提高学生的英语阅读水平和阅读理解能力,使学生了解相应的英语小说阅读常识﹑文学要素,提高文学欣赏能力。

二﹑阅读策略的运用

阅读教学虽然一直备受重视,但是许多老师只注重知识的教授而忽视实际能力的培养。落后的阅读教学方法使学生长期处于被动的阅读状态,严重挫伤了学生学习英语的积极性,致使很多学生失去阅读兴趣。新课标要求老师改变过去旧的教学理念。笔者以为以下四点教学方法很重要。(一)发现式教学方法。从阅读学的角度来看,阅读必须具备的是积极的思考。发现式思考是指在阅读活动中极大地调动学生思考的积极性、主动性,使学生在思维活动中积极地发现、挖掘,把握文章所表达的信息,使学生对文章有一个全面性的理解。这强化了学生对文章的理解,并加强了学生对文章的自身感悟,使其更容易参与到课堂活动中。这种教学方法要求教师在教学中根据不同的阅读内容提出不同的问题,启发学生在阅读内容中发现问题,并独立解决问题。(二)“图式阅读式”教学方法。图式阅读理论把传统的阅读观念、心理学观点和一些全新的认知心理学、语言学,以及人工智能理论融合起来,将阅读过程解释为读者在语篇的各个层次上和各个层次之间的“自上而下”的模式(top-down model)﹑“自下而上”的模式(bottom-up model)和“交替互补”阅读教学模式(interactive model)的三种信息处理方式相互作用的过程。首先在“自下而上”的模式中,读者获取信息从辨认最基本的语言符号开始,即从字母到单词﹑短语,然后从短语到句子﹑段落,最后从段落到篇章,再到对作者意图的把握,这种由点及面的教学模式更多见于中低年级阅读教学。其次在“自上而下”的模式(top-down model)中,阅读理论认为阅读过程是一个主动的﹑有目的的﹑有创造性的心理过程。读者在阅读中始终处于积极主动的状态,不断对视觉信息进行解码﹑加工和处理。这一过程不仅要求读者具有必要的语言能力,而且对读者的预测机制﹑认知能力和语篇分析能力提出了较高的要求。这种由面及点的教学模式较多见于中高年级阅读教学。随着对阅读心理过程研究的不断深入,“交替互补”阅读教学模式(interactive model)逐渐形成并趋于成熟。这种阅读模式认为,在实际阅读过程中,“自下而上”的模式和“自上而下”的模式会交替或同时出现,它取决于文章的类型﹑学生已有的背景知识和语言能力等因素。在阅读教学中,老师可以根据学生和阅读语篇的具体情况选择合适的教学模式。这样一种教学方法不仅能使学生学会为阅读搭建“脚手架”,突出学生的主体地位,而且能为学生综合运用各种阅读策略提供平台,使学生学会思考,促进学生思维的发展。(三)阅读教学交际化教学方法。阅读教学交际化是指在阅读课的课堂教学中,教师精心设计的教学程序使学生阅读信息的输入与输出,达到动态的平衡,让学生阅读与讨论有效地交流并相互交叉进行,从而使阅读课既达到提高学生阅读水平,又发挥学生的主动性,并将接受的信息最终转变成交际实践的内容。利用交际化的手法进行阅读教学,会提高学生听、说、读、写等综合能力。(四)情境创设教学方法。在高中英语阅读教学过程中,教师根据阅读内容,创设阅读情境,能够激发学生的阅读兴趣,激活与分享背景知识;引导学生自主与合作学习,促进知识的建构及自主探究能力的提高;优化阅读教学过程,增强阅读教学效果,促进知识与能力的转换,发展创新能力;形成正确的情感态度和价值观,促进学生全面发展。1.任务情境的创设。教师在教学过程中,积极创设任务情境,使学生在真实任务的驱动下自主阅读,积极主动地掌握并运用阅读策略,提高阅读能力。任务情境的创设,使学生带着愉悦的心情,积极主动地参与阅读训练。学生原有的阅读能力在情境催化下、在完成任务的实践中,通过自我监控、自我调节和自我强化,不断丰富和生长,从而有效地提高学生获取与处理信息的能力。2.探究情境的创设。创设探究情境是通过创设一定的情境,对文本中悬而未决的问题进行探究性思考,发展学生的创新思维能力。创新思维的形式主要有发散性思维、集中思维、批判性思维和求异思维等。教师要找准发散点,创设发散性情境,是培养学生发散性思维能力的关键。阅读活动是一种积极思考、理解和吸收信息的活动。它既是高中英语教学的目标之一,又是学习英语的一个重要的手段。阅读能力的提高始于基础,重在方法,贵在坚持,所以要积极探索有效的学习方法。

8.激活语篇分析 优化阅读教学 篇八

[摘要]本文通过对语篇分析的意义、影响语篇理解的因素分析,结合人教版新教材的具体材料,从背景知识、语篇篇章结构、逻辑联系语等三方面阐述了课堂语篇教学的可行性和必要性。从而构建以学生为中心,以语篇教学为手段,以培养学生阅读能力为目的的课堂教学模式。

[关键词]语篇分析背景知识篇章结构教学模式

在现行的高中英语教学中,教师讲解了很多的阅读材料,学生在课外也进行了大量的阅读,结果却不尽如人意,许多学生的阅读能力没有提高,或者说提高很慢。分析其原因,尽管有词汇量不足、语感差等诸多因素,但还有一个非常重要的原因,那就是对语篇分析把握不够。

一、语篇分析与阅读理解

阅读理解是一个复杂的认知心理过程,它既是语言文字的处理过程,又是学生已有背景知识的运用和处理过程。任何事物都可视为一个有机的整体。在外语教学中应重视整体的语篇教学,否则会导致只见树木,不见森林,能理解词句,不理解全文。总的说来,在语篇分析理论的基础上组织阅读教学,对促进学生的阅读理解能力具有重要意义。

二、影响语篇理解的因素

按照语篇分析理论,导致学习者语篇理解困难主要有以下几个因素:

1.背景知识

在阅读过程中,学生的知识面和西方的文化背景是影响阅读理解的一个重要因素。阅读材料取材广泛,形式多样,涉及面大。如果忽视英语的知识性和文化性,就会阻滞学生阅读能力的提高。另外,语篇所涉及的时间、地点、人物等情景也影响对语篇的理解。

2.语篇思维模式

在扫清词汇和语法障碍的前提下,篇幅较长文章的阅读效果取决于对文章篇章结构的理解。

3.衔接手段与连贯性

衔接是语篇特征的重要内容,是语篇的有形网络,而连贯是无形网络。阅读中语篇的连贯性影响着对作者逻辑推理的理解。

三、语篇教学法的具体实施

1.丰富和激活背景知识

背景知识是理解特定语篇所必须具备的外部世界知识。许多专家都认为,背景知识对理解的影响大于语言知识,背景知识的缺乏会造成阅读理解障碍,而具备相关的背景知识但不会运用也会造成阅读理解障碍。培养学生有意识地运用背景知识进行阅读,将给语篇教学带来许多帮助。如人教版英语模块1第五单元内容为穷苦的黑人工人Elias叙述他眼中的Mandela。这篇文章如果学生能事先了解南非黑人当时的生活状况以及他们不平等的社会地位,通过Elias的视角对Mandela的叙述,就更能发现Mandela的伟大之处以及对Mandela有一个更完整的认识。

另外,模块3第五单元Canada一文,也可以通过呈现加拿大的国旗、首都、城市、五大湖等内容来激活学生这方面的知识。这样日积月累,学生头脑中的背景知识会越来越丰富,阅读时就会调动相关背景材料,顺利理解所读内容。对于语篇学习,这一点相当重要。

2.把握语篇体裁,分析语篇篇章结构

语篇体裁框架是高度抽象化的篇章模式,它揭示了不同体裁语篇的本质性和主要的特点。了解体裁框架有助于学生更准确地了解特定语篇的含义,抓住其要点。研究表明,阅读时人们会求助于大脑中原有的体裁框架,如果所读语篇的体裁与原有的语篇体裁框架相吻合,理解就容易得多。反之,理解就会发生困难。熟悉特定的体裁框架,可以帮助学生迅速依据标题、图片等对文章内容作预测。通过对人教版语篇体裁的统计和分析,里面叙事体文章占多数。叙事体的文章,作者往往以某一条线索为主线,或以时间,或以地点,或以人物。因此,在分析此类文章时,教师要指导学生抓住主要线索,对文章进行分析。另外,有些文章以事件的发展为线索,例如模块1第四单元Earthquake是一篇新闻报道,作者用生动的语言向我们介绍了唐山大地震这二十世纪人类遭受的最惨重的自然灾害。这一部分内容可表述为:

把握语篇体裁框架后,认真分析语篇的篇章结构,可以帮助我们从微观的角度对语篇教学进行层次分析、信息加工和处理等。可以说,分析语篇篇章结构是语篇教学的重点,这样做不仅能培养学生的阅读理解能力,还有利于培养学生综合运用语言的能力,对指导学生进行完形填空、书面表达、短文改错等综合运用语言的练习方面,将起到积极的作用。

3.阅读中不要忽视逻辑联系语

篇章行文讲究流畅,通过承上启下形成一个有机的整体,服务于一个主题。而逻辑联系语指的是表示各种逻辑意义的连句手段。在中学英语教材中主要出现以下几类:

a.列举:first,second,then,next,for one thing...foranother?(thing),to begin with,last,finany,in the end...

b.概括:so,thus,therefore,finally,in short,above all,as a result,in a word...

c.转折:but,or,although,in spite of,however,instead,onthe contrary...

d.因果:because,so,for this reason,thus,for,as,since,therefore,as a result...

e.递进增补:and,also,too,in addition,whats more,for example,in Other words,besides...

如果学生在阅读过程中能抓住这些词,就能快速、准确地掌握语篇内容。
