第二篇:大學英語泛讀期末考試試題
大學英語泛讀期末考試試題(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
B.the doors
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 “l(fā)ive,” 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,(考古學)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”(退出世俗社會的人)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(補償)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(懶惰)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級泛讀期末試題(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(馴服)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(從屬的)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(人文學者)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(協調)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(雙層玻璃的)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(飲料)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(垃圾填埋場).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年成考高中起點 英語試卷及參考答案

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(減輕)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(機會)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

Iordered.I learned that this new plan takes time, patience and a lot of faith in the theory that havingexcellent grades isn't really important.When my older kids, now in college and high school, were young, I brought in the rules ofmodern parenting.They are unspoken, but followed carefully.First, you must let your childhave a variety of activities.After all, you never know where you'll find a genius(天才).Second, if the child shows the slightest talent(才能), the activity must be pushed with lessons, special coaching(輔導)and practice of several days a week.Every minute should be taken and every minute has a purpose.That was really too much for my children.Now with the new plan, we told stories, We listened to music.And' the.kids played with bikes, balls, and whatever was handy.Nobody kept score.In fact, the boys played outside so much that the lawn was worn down to the soil in places.They've made friends with those who come from all over the neighbourhood to play games.We like those peaceful evenings.Ben and Nick have a good time this fall, MaYbe that's because the time offhas allowed us to enjoy each other's company;40.What was new for the family last fall?

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 [購物]?)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(職業(yè)), and income levels.And guess what? In the end, four out of every five :people they met passed their: politeness test making New York the most polite city in the study.44, What does Lynne Truss argue in Talk to the Hand?.A.People are not as polite as they used to.B.”Excuse me“ is not welcome nowadays.C.Of all the adults in the US 70% are rude,D.People don't care about manners any more.45.What is TRUE about the politeness study discussed in the passage?

A.More people passed the tests in New York than in any other cities.B.Different kinds of people acted differently in the New York tests.C.Four out of five people passed the politeness test in the study.D.Manypeople in the experiment passed the tests by guessing D This is not a diet(減肥食譜)or a hard ~exercise program.Nobody can stick to those for long.Instead, it's a simple way to make weight loss a natural part of the life you already live.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(好處).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:淺談英語泛讀
淺談英語泛讀
中學英語教科書服務大綱所規(guī)定的教學目的就是提供給師生重要的教學材料。教材的組成是:聽力訓練、學生課本、閱讀訓練及練習冊。套教材設計,其實是通過泛讀、精讀、聽力的各項訓練中來判別的,來培養(yǎng)學生聽、說、讀、寫、譯等各項方面的綜合性能力,用來發(fā)展學生英語交際能力,加快學生的閱讀速度。閱讀又可分為精讀、泛讀和快速閱讀,因此,學生課本以及學生用書都是精讀課本,閱讀訓練屬泛讀內容。泛讀和精讀是和教學在高中英語教學中相輔相成的,聽力訓練和閱讀訓練是一個有機整體,重視高中英語泛讀教學是英語教學的內在要求。
一、英語泛讀缺位的原因
《高中英語課程標準》中講到:“除教材之外,課外閱讀量六級達到20萬以上,七級要達到30萬以上,八級要達到36萬以上?!睆倪@一要求當中我們就可以看出泛讀教學的重要性。平時加強泛讀教學能激發(fā)學生閱讀的興趣,增加他們的知識面,擴大他們的眼界,培養(yǎng)他們的閱讀技巧和策略,為高考英語速度和質量做了一個很好的鋪墊。既然泛讀教學如此重要,那為什么高中英語泛讀教學會存在缺位現象呢?究其原因有如下幾點:
1.教師認識不到位,學校領導重視不夠,教學管理部門監(jiān)管缺失,學生課業(yè)負擔重等方面原因同時存在。具體表現為:學校領導沒有重視泛讀科目;教師精、泛讀之間的關系及泛讀教學對學生英語學習影響也沒有很強的意識;教學的管理部門不能提供政策上的引導與督促;學生會忽視泛讀學習,是因為疲勞的應付各 種練習題、模擬題,而課業(yè)的負擔也很重。
2.有的教師雖然也提倡課外閱讀,同時也會布置相關任務(如概括中心思想或寫篇心得體會),但由于布置的任務跟作文相似,批起來時間長任務繁重,并且手頭要忙的作業(yè)太多,無法顧及每個學生特殊的情況。同時也缺乏有序的組織和有效地監(jiān)督,所以久而久之即使布置也如形同虛設。
3.從學生角度講,他們由于應付各科作業(yè),背誦已經花很多時間,盡管對有些跟他們生活息息相關的文章感興趣,但由于要完成很多作業(yè)而無法自作主張。
4.有些學生雖然有這種擴大閱讀量的意識,在實踐中卻又無法堅持,經常是“三天打魚,兩天曬網”,有始無終,缺乏計劃性和長期性。這樣導致很多學生無法接觸到大量的英語國家的信息和背景知識,使學生又處于知識面狹窄的狀況,這樣又影響了他們閱讀能力的提高。
5.還有的學生不要說不進行泛讀訓練,即使在平時做的閱讀理解 中也采取劃答案找答案的做題規(guī)律,根本不重視篇章的理解和文章的結構,常常在選標題時以文章中的例子為標題。因為平時老師在做閱讀理解時總是有過多的講解,分析孤立的詞匯與結構,學生也養(yǎng)成了不動腦經,不發(fā)揮聯想的主動的創(chuàng)造性思維的能力。久而久之,學生把閱讀看成是一件極其痛苦的事,為了做好閱讀理解而閱讀,根本領悟不到語言的美感,不能豐富大腦,不能從中獲得教訓或者是一個深刻的道理,達不成共鳴。
二、高中英語泛讀教學的應對策略
英國學者弗蘭克斯·格雷利特(Francoise Grellet)認為:“泛讀是一種熟練活動,主要是解決對文章的綜合理解問題。進行泛讀訓練時,首先應該從綜合理解開始,然后再向詳細理解過渡。要求學生完成的任務應該是綜合理解性的。同時,設計閱讀理解練習也應該是從對選文整體理解開始,而不是詞匯或較具體的內容。” 高中的英語教師,應當在教學實踐中努力開展好泛讀教學。所以,怎樣進行有效的泛讀訓練,筆者認為可以從以下幾點入手:
1.立足于教材,上好每一堂整體教學課,充分把每個模塊的Reading先整體教學,在整體教學的過程中同時擴充其他泛讀材料進行有效地訓練。
【案例】
如在教M6U4Reading“The UN------bringing everyone closer together”時,在學生回答了幾個問題之后,我們就趁熱打鐵讓學生把這篇文章分成四段,同時請同學告知每一段的節(jié)數,并寫上段落大意。接下來請學生回答兩個體現有概括性能力的問題,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?”緊接著引出這篇文章的Reading strateg,提問學生本文的作者的態(tài)度是favorable 還是unfavorable的,并且請學生們找出相關的句子和關鍵詞來證明自己的觀點。講到這里我們趁熱打鐵,給出一些相關的高考題訓練,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陜西高考閱讀理解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 如果每個單元的課文能這樣結合的話,學生在閱讀技巧上肯定會日積月累,總有一天會有所突破的。
第二,給學生們的閱讀材料要時代性的文章或者是能讓學生看了一眼就能感興趣的文章,也就是說與他們的生活息息相關的文章。筆者認為尤其是高一時一定要選生詞不超過2%的文章,最好是與課文類似的,平時閱讀理解完形填空中做過的文章,用這種泛讀材料一可以讓學生產生近距離感,二可以鞏固已學知識,三可以簡單講評,只要求學生歸納出中心思想或劃出主題句即可。
泛讀課在中學階段無法順利開展的主要原因之一在于學校沒有統一的泛讀材料。如果教師只是口頭強調增加閱讀量的必要性,而不檢測學生的閱讀進展及效果,那么閱讀效率永遠得不到提高。在此步驟中,執(zhí)教者借助統一征訂的某一期報紙,通過搶答題與必答題的形式檢測學生是否閱讀以及閱讀的效果。以上七道搶答題設置得比較簡單,主要以擴大學生的知識面以及激發(fā)學生的閱讀興趣為目的。五道必答題是在搶答題的基礎上,適當增加閱讀的難度,主要是針對閱讀文章的整體理解,旨在檢測學生是 否讀懂文章,是否理解文章大意,并不要求達到細節(jié)理解等深層次理解的程度。
Step 2 : Reading ability training(While-reading)本步驟主要由四個部分主成:
Training 1: Fast reading and guessing words 快速閱讀——訓練猜詞能力,訓練材料是與報紙第五版面相關的世博會話題。
Training 2: Words and expressions 詞匯講解——主要講解文章中出現的生詞及其 詞綴以及沒有任何生詞但無法理解的習語。
Training 3: Difficult sentences 難句理解——處理影響學生對文章理解的難 句,難點在于虛擬語氣。Training 4: Theme or opinion 總結歸納——訓練學生尋找主題句、提煉觀點句的能力。
本步驟目的:在閱讀技能方面主要訓練學生快速閱讀、猜詞以及理解文章主旨大意的能力。在詞匯方面主要掃清生詞和難句的障礙,擴大詞匯量。
訓練策略:詞綴閃卡、猜測習語在語境中的意思、提問解答。本步驟時長:25分鐘。
Step 3: Ability application(Post-reading)本步驟目的:即學即用,讓學生在做中學。檢測手段:高考閱讀理解一篇、迷你辯論。本步驟時長:15分鐘左右。執(zhí)教者要求學生在六分鐘內完成一篇2003年上海高考英語試卷閱讀理解C篇,這是一篇議論文,是關于考試體系要保護還是廢除的討論。執(zhí)教者經過略微修改,降低了三道選擇題的難度。這三道選擇題 分別檢測了猜詞、作者觀點及文章主旨三個方面,考查學生對本節(jié)課訓練的這三個技能的掌握程度。執(zhí)教者指導學生先獨立思考,然后再小組討論。
第三,制定明確具體的泛讀計劃。泛讀是提高學生閱讀理解能力的主渠道。只有通過系統的、嚴格的閱讀訓練,才能使學生掌握正確的閱讀方法和形成基本的閱讀技能,加快閱讀速度,擴大閱讀量,提升語感。筆者認為從高一開始每周就可開設一節(jié)泛讀課。假如每節(jié)泛讀課讀3-4篇300-400 字的文章,按每學期18周計算,一期可讀70篇,高中三年累計可泛讀300篇左右,其閱讀量可達12萬字左右,是中學六年教科書詞匯總量的兩倍。同時,泛讀教學除了時間的安排要納入計劃外,我們也要規(guī)定 教學指標,如對閱讀速度、閱讀技巧等項目要做出具體的安排。
泛讀的任務在于著重提高學生的閱讀理解能力;培養(yǎng)細致觀察以及假設、判斷、分析、歸納、推理論證等邏輯思維能力;培養(yǎng)速讀能力以及閱讀的興趣,擴大詞匯量,拓展文化背景知識。從用途上看,泛讀的實用性最廣。在實際生活里,80%?90%的閱讀方式都是泛讀。目前的英語閱讀教學主要是整體閱讀教學模式,而此種模式是建立在圖式理論(Schema Theory)的基礎上,其核心思想是理解新知識時,總是將新知識與已有的知識聯系起來。顯然,與話題有關的原有知識越多,閱讀理解的難度就會越小。
第四,循序漸進方法靈活。泛讀教學可分為課內閱讀與課外閱讀,首先在教 師指導下實施課內閱讀,再擴大到課外閱讀。泛讀教學應從高一到高三不間斷,教師可分三個階段進行:
1.高一年級階段
這一階段,學生剛從初中進入高中,教師應注意初、高中英語知識的銜接,引導學生把精讀課中學生所學知識運用到泛讀課上,向學生介紹閱讀技巧,利用閱讀教材中的限時閱讀材料加強學生閱讀速度訓練,同時,培養(yǎng)學生良好的閱讀習慣,適當地進行口、筆頭語言輸出,主要以回答問題、角色扮演、轉換角色、講述、改寫、縮寫、續(xù)寫課文等形式練習。教師的訓練方法應得當,形式應靈活多樣,教師可采取閱讀前活動、閱讀中活動、閱讀后活動;根據閱讀材料的類型運用串講法、問題法、討論法、默讀記時法等形式吸引學生參與,活躍課堂氣氛,增加師生互動的機會,從而有利于學生理解詞、句子和語篇,激發(fā)學生的閱讀興趣與信心。
2.高二年級階段 學生經過一年的英語學習與訓練,詞匯量大大增加,掌握了一些閱讀技能,閱讀速度比以前加快了,基本上養(yǎng)成了一些較好的閱讀習慣,有了一定的閱讀興趣,但仍然需要教師的指導,這一階段還要進一步加大閱讀量,引導學生閱讀《英語周報》、《21世紀報》等中級層次的英文報刊,并逐漸增加不同題材、不同體裁的命題話題、命題作文的練習。
3.高三年級階段
學生經過兩年的學習,詞匯量加大,閱讀速度大大加快,教師應鼓勵學生進一步加大課外閱讀,同時,繼續(xù)加大命題話題、命題作文的練習,逐步加大訓練 的難度強度。引導學生的閱讀材料從《英語周報》、《英語畫刊》等以課程練習為主的英語報刊雜志,到《英語沙龍》、《中國日報》等高信息量的閱讀材料。
第五,選取適當的材料,注意方法育泛讀材料選擇相當重要。教師為學生選定泛讀材料要具有足夠的語言輸人量,要具有思想性、時代感、知識性、真實性,具有可理解性,要題材廣泛、體裁多樣。泛讀要注意方法,急于求成行不通,要循序漸進,方法單一效果難有保證,要靈活安排。方法的選擇要根據具體情況區(qū)別對待。如對待不同的年級、不同的學生,要采取的方法也應有所差別,同樣的學生在閱讀不同類型的文章時,也要有所差別。
每天上課給學生一篇較短的泛讀材料讓他們限時閱讀,讀完后回答出大意即可。這樣慢慢地就能培養(yǎng)學生的閱讀速度和提高他們對把握整體的敏感度。除了回答中心思想,也可以采取復述,改寫,縮寫,續(xù)寫等形式練習。如果能堅持一個星期寫一篇文章的話,作文也相應得到了訓練,對作文的提高也有著舉足輕重的作用。還有一些學生有增加閱讀量的意識,由于沒有很好地計劃性和長期性,所以經常有始無終。對于這些學生,筆者往往采取課后定期輔導,鼓勵他們的同時給他們一個督促的作用,使他們能持之以恒而達到一個比較理想的效果。
不管是從理論中還是從實踐中來講,泛讀課其實是高中英語教學絕對不能缺少的一部分,開設泛讀課在高中英語教學中最基本的,也是絕對可以執(zhí)行的。筆者認為,只要教師意識到泛讀教學缺位帶來的負面影響,更新觀念,認識到位,措施得力,通過在教學中增加泛讀教學,加大英語語言輸入量,持之以恒地不斷進行泛讀教學,必然會逐漸改變英語教學中長期形成的“耗時低效”狀況,起到事半功倍的效果。
第四篇:讀書筆記(泛讀)
Oliver Twist 《霧都孤兒》讀后感
這部小說主要情節(jié)是,一個不知來歷的年輕孕婦昏倒在街上,人們把她送進了貧民收容院。第二天,她生下一個男孩子后死去,這個孤兒被取名為奧利弗·退斯特。奧利弗在孤兒院里掙扎了9年后,又被送到棺材店老板那兒當學徒。難以忍受的饑餓、貧困和侮辱,迫使奧利弗逃到倫敦,又被迫無奈當了扒手。他曾被富有的布朗羅先生收留,不幸讓小扒手發(fā)現又被帶回賊窩。善良的女扒手南希為了營救奧利弗,不顧賊頭的監(jiān)視和威脅,向布朗羅報信,說奧利弗就是他找尋以久的外孫。后來,南希被賊窩頭目殺害,警察隨即圍剿了賊窩。奧利佛終于得以與親人團聚。
這本書中最讓我敬佩的是奧利弗他并未向侮辱屈服,折磨也未能改變他善良的本性,在重重艱難之后他獲得了幸福,奧利弗十分堅強和勇敢,而那些撒謊、欺詐、偷盜的人,真的很可惡。我記得古代有句話:人之初,性本善。我想,犯罪的人本性是好的,他的罪惡不是天生的,是因外界的不良影響而造成的,如果在現代社會中,人人學習奧利弗他那不彎腰,不低頭,堅持不懈的精神,那么善良的本性不會消失。
Uncle Tom's Cabin《湯姆叔叔的小屋》讀后感 《湯姆叔叔的小屋》記述的就是當時的故事。這本書無情地揭露了南方奴隸制度的殘暴面目,重新激起了北方人民對它的極度義憤,從而南北矛盾尖銳,直至1864年美國國內戰(zhàn)爭爆發(fā),因此它被認為是美國南北戰(zhàn)爭的導火線之一。小說以穿插輪敘的方式,描繪了兩個黑奴不同的遭遇,對奴役的不同態(tài)度及不同結局。這是斯陀夫人獨具匠心的地方??纤莸囊粋€莊園主謝爾貝因負債累累,受人鉗制,被迫賣掉莊園上最得力、最忠實可靠的黑奴湯姆和謝爾貝太太寵愛的使女伊麗莎的愛子小哈利來抵債。伊麗莎偷聽到消息,攜子連夜逃走。途中夫妻不期而遇,在廢奴派人士幫助下,逃到加拿大,取得了自由。后喬治決心到非洲為建設一個非洲人的國家而努力奮斗。這是一個敢于斗爭的黑人青年,從而走上了光明的道路。湯姆則被賣給了奴隸販子海利,在船上救了一個落水的伊娃,那小女孩的父親圣·克萊亞就買他作家奴,待他寬厚。但老人不久死于非命,湯姆又落到了殘暴的莊園主雷格里的手中。期間雷格里要湯姆鞭打女人,被他當面拒絕,后凱茜和愛彌琳設計逃走,他寧死也沒有說出其二人下落,被活活打死。作者塑造了許多人物,湯姆是最主要的一個。他的忠厚和老實讓我喜歡,他的正義感及助人為樂的精神更是令人敬佩。可他對宗教的篤信,實在讓人費解,作者對此人的刻畫有血有肉,讓人感動。
Tess of the D'Urbervilles《德伯家的苔絲》讀后感 《德伯家的苔絲》是英國著名小說家和詩人托馬斯·哈代創(chuàng)作的代表作之一。苔絲本是一位純潔美麗又非常勤勞的農村姑娘,她向往人生的真和善,但又時時遭到偽和惡的打擊。苔絲的悲劇始于為了全家人生計去遠親家打工,卻因年幼無知而被亞雷騙去了處女的貞操,成了一個“墮落”的女人,受到社會輿論的非議,把她看成不貞潔的罪人;苔絲后來與青年克萊相愛,又因為新婚之夜坦誠有污點的過去而被丈夫遺棄,而與近在眼前的幸福失之交臂;出于高度的家庭責任感和自我犧牲精神,苔絲為換取家人的生存而再次違愿淪為亞雷的情婦;最后因為丈夫的回心轉意使得絕望的苔絲憤而舉起了復仇的利刃,終于成了一個殺人犯,最后不得不付出了生命的代價,導致“象游絲一樣敏感,象雪一樣潔白”的苔絲最后終被完全毀滅。
苔絲在綠草如茵,風景如畫的鄉(xiāng)野里長大,盡管家庭生活窘迫,但少女時代的苔絲內心是明朗,歡快的。她熱愛生活,敢于面對一切困難,為了維持家庭,不惜犧牲自己。苔絲一生都是強權和暴力的受害者。亞雷之所以敢稱霸四野,為非作歹,為所欲為,不僅因為他有錢,有勢,而且更主要的是有資產階級國家機器,法律的保護。社會和法律都認為侮辱和迫害苔絲的人是正當的,而受迫害的苔絲則是有罪的。苔絲一生都必得逆來順受,忍受含垢,不能自衛(wèi),而當她有生以來第一次起來自衛(wèi)的時候,證明了,埃斯庫羅斯所說的那個眾神主宰對于苔絲的戲弄也完結了。
Little Women《小婦人》讀后感
《小婦人》講述的是馬奇一家的故事。家里有四姐妹:追求高貴但會照顧人的大姐梅格,充滿躁動卻關心家人的二姐喬,優(yōu)雅自私卻頗得人愛的艾美以及忘我無私卻需要家里人的貝思。她們的母親是慈祥的馬奇太太,父親馬奇先生隨軍當兵。這樣的一家人和她們的鄰居男孩勞里、勞里的爺爺勞倫斯先生、馬奇嬸嬸,以及周圍的朋友所發(fā)生的如家庭日記般簡單的故事,卻流露著耐人尋味的親情、友情、愛情。
這本書告訴我們如何懷著一顆收獲的心體會,感受并對待它們,并且試著像馬奇一家一樣,為了這些愛,變得更堅強獨立。
書中有許多感人肺腑的話語:
貝思患病危在旦夕時,馬奇姐妹在祈禱: “如果上帝賜給貝思一條生路,我一定不再抱怨?!?/p>
梅格虔誠低語“如果上帝賜給貝思一條生路,我一定愛她敬她,終生做她的奴仆。” 艾美傷心地哭了“假如失去溫柔可愛的姐姐,即使有一千個一萬個綠松石戒指,也不能給她帶來安慰啊?!?/p>
喬認識了巴爾教授這個朋友后說:“嗯,冬天過去了,我一本書都沒寫,也沒有發(fā)財,但是我交到了一個很值得相處的朋友,我要努力一輩子享有他的友誼?!?/p>
