Many years ago， there lived a very rich man who wanted to do something good for the people of his town. But first he wanted to find out if they deserved(值得)his help. So he put a very large stone in the middle of the main road into the town. Then he stood behind a tree,waiting and watching.

Soon an old man came along with his cow. “Who put this stone in the center of the road?” said the old man，but he didn’t try to move the stone away. He passed around the stone

Late in the afternoon,a young man came along. He saw the stone and said, “It will be dark at night. Some people will come along later in the

dark and will fall over the stone and

get hurt.” The young man then began to move the stone. He pushed and pulled and tried everything he could to move it out of the road.

Stop reading for a mirage and think about what you see when you look up at the sky on a clear night. You probably see many stars. Long long ago, farmers watched some stars to know when to plant their crops. Travellers did so to find their ways in the dark. Today stars are still important to some people. Scientists found out that most stars are very big.

In fact some stars are so far away that it would take millions of years to get to them even by spaceship. Another

thing we know today about stars is

that some are made up of hot gases. The gases are so hot that they send

out light. If you watch a star carefully, you may notice that it twinkles（闪烁）sometimes. As you may understand, light from a star must shine through the air before you can see the star. Air is always moving, it makes fight from the star move back and forth. When the light moves, it makes the star twinkle. Stars also have different colors. The color of a star depends on how hot it is. To our surprise, the cool stars are red and the hottest are blue white

(1) The speaker asked us ________. A．to stop looking up at the sky for a minute on a clear night

B．to think about what we saw when we looked up at the sky on a clear night

On every packet of cigarettes(香烟), people are warned against the 17 of smoking: “Warning: Cigarette Smoking Is Dangerous to Your Health”. 18 , millions of them start smoking or go on smoking. Why Facts show that families and surroundings(环境) play a very important part in 19 smokers. All those smokers come from smoking families or have smoking 20 or relatives. Films and TV plays also play a part. People 21 their “heroes” on TV drinking alcohol(酒) or smoking cigarettes. “Heroes” seem to fear 22 , neither killing themselves nor killing others with alcohol and cigarettes. If they are not afraid of the harm of smoking and drinking, 23 should common people be afraid

The simple warning on the cigarette packet does not influence smokers’ habits. Even 24 warnings, like showing pictures of smokers who have died of cancer, don’t seem to work. Knowing and believing seem to be two 25 things. If smoking is really as harmful as doctors say, it is time for smokers to think about it and try to give it up! 16.

初中英语阅读教学与写作教学的有效结合

初中英语阅读教学与写作教学的有效结合 “读书破万卷，下笔如有神”这一句俗语对阅读和写作之间的关系做了一个很好的诠释。阅读越多，其所累积的写作素材也就越多，写作起来也就更为顺畅。因此，在对这两个知识点进行教学时，最好的教学方法就是将这二者联系起来，进行结合教学。一、阅读与写作的关系人们对阅读和写作关系的研究可以追溯至上个世纪六七十年代，很多语言专家就对其做了大量的理论实证研究，并认为阅读和写作这两项技能是通过一定的具体语言而產生互动的，进而实现了作者和读者这二者间的各种信息传递。外语的习得首先必须要借助大量的有趣的、并且能够被理解的目的语。以英语为例，如果没有参与大量的阅读活动，那么就不可能具备较强的阅读能力，就更不可能把阅读材料里隐含的文化和语言知识，以及篇章结构等输入到自己的“资料库”中，也就更无从谈及将其内化为自己的东西，写出语意较为连贯、内容较为翔实、结构较为完整并且还符合英语这一语言规范的作文出来。图1 如上图1所示，阅读与写作的关系其实可以用信息输入和输出的关系表达出来，由上图可见，阅读是学生进行信息

输入的载体，学生经过讨论和归纳对这些信息进行加工，不断将其内化，写作则作为学生信息输出的一种手段而存在。二、初中英语中将阅读教学联盟和写作教学相结合的具体实践课前活动课前活动的最主要目的就是累积词汇，做到厚积薄发。在课前活动中，教师可以采用情境创设和课前预测的方式进行。首先，情境创设。情境创设的主要目的是将新词汇呈现出来。初中英语教师在进行阅读教学时，首先要做的就是要将学生引入到一个特定的语言情景中去，因为只有入境了才能生趣，才能够激发学生的求知欲望，才能将学生的阅读动机引发出来。例如，在对《英语Go for it》中unit6的Section B-3a中的阅读文章进行教学时，教师可以用图片将自己孩子的爱好展示给学生看，并在这些图片中引入新的词汇。比如want to be a collector、want to be a collector等等，待学生都了解完之后，再转入指文章“Ellen’s hobby”的教学当中。其次，课前预测。课前预测的目的是要激活新词汇，在阅读教学开始之前，教师可以先让学生对课文中的插图进行观察，然后再分析文章的标题，以此来对课文内容进行预测，这能够在一定程度上激发学生的阅读欲望。因为学生的这一预测过程类似破案一样，先是发现线索，然后是阅读文本，

2020初三英语阅读理解及答案

2020初三英语阅读理解及答案下面有一篇文章，希望同学们用10分钟将此题做完，然后对照讲解找到准确的答案。 Passage 1 If you look at the sky one night and see something moving and shining that you have never seen before, it might be a comet (彗星). A comet sometimes looks like a star. Like a planet, a comet has no light of its own. It shines from the sunlight it reflects (反射). Like the earth, a comet goes round the sun, but on a much longer path (轨道) than the earth travels. If a comet isn’t a sta r, what is it then? Some scientists think that a large part of a comet is water frozen into pieces of ice and mixed with iron and rock dust and perhaps a few big pieces of rock. When sunshine melts (融化) the ice in the comet, great clouds of gas go trailing after it. These clouds, together with the dust, form a long tail. Many people perhaps have seen a comet. However no one knows how many comets there are. There may be millions of comets, but only a few come close enough for us to see. An Englishman named Edmund Halley, who lived from 1656 to 1742, found out a lot about the paths that comets take through the sky. Some comets move out of our sight and never come back. Others keep coming back at regular times. A big comet that keeps coming back was named after Halley because

初中英语阅读与写作教学

初中英语阅读与写作教学（大名县束馆中学河北大名 056900）【摘要】本文从阅读，写作，阅读与写作相结合三个方面阐述了如何进行初中英语阅读、写作的教学。【关键词】英语；阅读；写作；教学目前，初中英语的阅读教学不容乐观，主要存在着教师教学方法单一，学生阅读速度慢，解题弱的现象。对于英语写作往往被师生忽视，有一部分学生在考试中完全放弃写作题。在初中阶段的英语教学中，大部分教师对于阅读与写作往往采取分开教学，效果不理想。本人在教学实践中摸索出：“以阅读带动写作，以写作强化阅读”的教学方法，两者相辅相成、相互促进，取得了不错效果。 1. 改进初中英语阅读教学我积极倡导进行任务型阅读，就是以具体的任务为学习的动力或动机，从而在引导学生在完成阅读任务的过程中来发展学生的阅读理解能力与语言的应用能力。依据初中学生在认知与能力发展的“渐进性”规律以及教材的编写规律，灵活整合运用阅读文章，把初中英语阅读指导分为“了解性阅读、理解性阅读、致用性阅读”三个层次。（1）了解性泛读。能大致明确课文的内容是英语阅读的最初要求，了解性泛读就是进行整体粗读，领略课文内

容大意。在这个阶段的阅读过程中，教师所设计的任务问题可以紧紧围绕以下方面展开：本文所涉及人物、地点。课文中介绍了人物的哪些行为、态度、思想或哪些地点的文化、经济、风土人情？本文描写了什么事件？发生事件的原因、地点、经过、结果是什么？………如果学生在泛读过程中能较好地完成上面几方面的工作，那么就说明学生基本了解了课文的内容大意，也就基本上达到了泛读的目标要求。（2）理解性熟读。正确的理解全文内容、弄清文章结构、把握文章主题是英语课文阅读教学的基本目标，理解性熟读，就是通过多遍的阅读来理解文章内容。所谓熟读，它包含层意思：一是指能流利读通全文；二是能正确的理解全文内容、弄清文章结构，三是能把握文章的中心思想。（3）致用性精读。所谓致用，就是指通过英语范文阅读后在口头表达或书面时能较好地应用文中的词汇、语言或语句；精读就是指精确理解词汇、语法、习惯表达和英文思维模式。应该说，这是英语阅读教学的最高要求，也是英语阅读教学的难点。在理解词汇含义方面，由于一个英语单词往往有多种含义，因此教师要注意指导学生从文句的背景或从全文的内容意思来推测或揣摩。对语法的学习，关键要指导学生观察重点语法现象在文章中的应用，注意明确蕴含语法词组或短语中各单词的位置顺序，养成这种习惯，久而久之，学生就能较好地领悟英语的习惯性表达以及英文思维
