Their tables will be set with the good dishes and silver, and the dress code will be Sunday best. But in many other homes, this china-and-silver elegance has given way to a stoneware (粗陶) and stainless informality, with dresses assuming an equally casual-Friday look. For hosts and guests, the change means greater simplicity and comfort. For makers of fine china in Britain, it spells economic hard times. Last week Royal Doulton, the largest employer in Stoke-on-Trent, announced that it is eliminating 1,000 jobs -- one-fifth of its total workforce. That brings to more than 4, 000 the number of positions lost in 18 months in the pottery (陶瓷) region. Wedgwood and other pottery factories made cuts earlier. Although a strong pound and weak markets in Asia play a role in the downsizing, the layoffs in Stoke have their roots in earthshaking social shifts. A spokesman for Royal Doulton admitted that the company "has been somewhat slow in catching up with the trend" toward casual dining. Families eat together less often, he explained, and more people eat alone, either because they are single or they eat in front of television. Even dinner parties, if they happen at all, have gone casual. In a time of

高中英语阅读理解专项练习（1）附参考答案阅读理解-----C At a recent class, yoga instructor Hagen taught several facial exercises designed to build up facial muscles．Some women practise moves including "The Lion" , showing the tongue hanging out and eyes rolled up．Hagen encourages class members to hold the position for 60 seconds, joking．"You can do this any time．It really helps you get a seat on the train．" Hagen recently published a book—The Yoga Face: Remove Wrinkles （皱纹）with the Ultimate Natural Facelift．She developed a workshop using facial yoga because women wanted to look their best． Facial muscles become weak and flabby （松驰的）and need regular exercise to reduce wrinkles．Besides "The Lion", other exercises include "Satchmo" ．in which the cheeks are blown out Louis Armstrong-style, and "Marilyn", in which attractive kisses are blown to strengthen mouth muscles for full and firm lips． Hagen recommends facial yoga for those wanting to find outer and inner beauty, saying, "The emotional aspect is just as important as the physiological （生理学的）."

如何上好一堂高中英语阅读课

如何上好一堂高中英语阅读课高金梅内蒙古集宁一中关键字英语阅读文化背景语法词汇技巧方法摘要阅读教学就是培养学生有效地进行阅读，培养学生在短时间内获取更多的信息并对信息进行分析推理判断的能力，所以教师要进行有效地教学，让学生在了解文化背景知识，掌握一定的词汇语法知识，有一定的阅读技巧的基础上进行阅读，阅读的效果通过练习进行检测。随着信息社会的出现，教育既要传播信息，又要培养学生摄取信息、处理信息的能力，而阅读教学的目的就是在于培养交际性阅读能力,有效地获取书面信息，并对此信息进行分析，推理和评价，以实现交际的目的。阅读课在英语教学中占有重要的地位，它是提高英语教学质量的主要途径，在阅读教学中，教师应改变观念，以学生为主体、教师为主导，加强对学生阅读技能的训练，采用阅读前作有效的导入，阅读中要善于提出明确的目标，阅读后加强训练以巩固，同时还要培养学生的自学能力，切实提高学生的阅读水平。英语阅读在英语教学中无疑有着举足轻重的作用，阅读亦为英语学习输入的重要手段。因此，提高学生的阅读水平至关重要。那么，如何才能达到此目的呢？本人认为，应该从以下几方面着手： 1.了解文化背景知识。在阅读前，如果我们对某方面的背景知识很了解，不仅可以提高阅读速度，而且可以提高我们对阅读时的信心和加深对文章的理解。有了背景知识，我们不必明白文章中的每一个单词就能理解文章。所以在平时教学中，有必要让学生查阅一些相关资料或者利用多媒体给学生演示一些相关的文化背景知识，这样可以扩宽学生的视野，提高学生阅读的兴趣。例如：十八世纪英国历史时有这样一个句子：“The last was the Battle of Waterlo o, won by the duke of Wellington over the great Napoleon, a victory so important and so complete that today, when we say that a man will …meet his Waterloo?, we mean he will encounter final disaster.”此句中提到了一位历史人物拿破仑（Napoleon）和一场著名的战役———滑铁卢战役（The Battle of Waterloo）。首先来了解一下拿破仑的身世，他在1804-1815 年间任法国皇帝，史称拿破仑一世。而滑铁卢是位于比利时首都布鲁塞尔以南20 公里处的小村。1815 年6 月，拿破仑一世与反法同盟联军在这里展开了最后的决战。结果，拿破仑败北，遭终生流放，这就是著名的滑铁卢之战。滑铁卢也因此而闻名于世，它几乎成了最终失败的代名词。该句中“meet his Waterloo”意指“最终遭受惨败”（尤指经过一段成功之后）。因此，当我们说一个人将“meet his Waterloo”时，指的就是他将遭受彻底的失败。又如对下列这段文字的理解：Tony Trivisonno came to America seeking the American Dream. But he didn?t find it-he created it for himself. All he had were 24 precious hours a day，and he wasted none of them. 这段话选自弗雷德里克·C·克罗弗德（Frederick C. Crawford）的短篇故事“Tony Trivisonno?s American Dream”。这段话是对托尼追寻美国梦的描述。从字面上看，我们只能理解到作者在描述一个勤奋的移民来美国努力工作，最终成功的故事。但如果我们结合“美国梦”及美国人生活特点这一社会文化背景，我们就会发现美国梦对不同的人有不同的意义。但对许多人尤其是对移民而言，它意味着改善自己生活的机会。了解了这一点，我们就会更好地理解这篇文章的潜在涵义。 2.注重词汇和语法知识。阅读理解不是一项独立的英语技能，它与词汇、语法、文化背景知识等密切相关。因此，在平时的教学活动中，我们要重视学生的单词、语法知识和文化背景知识的积累。 (1)打好词汇基础。每一篇文章都是由词汇组成的，词汇的记忆和应用是阅读理解的第一步。高中学生应该具有3000多词汇量，这需要在平时让学生通过音标，构词法，同义词反义词

But as I lay there and wait for the world to turn half way around, I think about her. And sometimes I smile, and sometimes that smile will turn into asnicker, and then often that snicker will turn into a burst of laughter. And then there are times I get that lump in my throat and that tight feeling in my chest, and sometimes that feeling overwhelms me and begins to turn into a tear, and often that tear multiplies itself and I can no longer fight the feeling and I lose the battle.

文学、艺术、音乐）李仕才导读：一位美国早期的作家曾经说过：吗？美国人究竟有哪些音乐爱好呢？美国人对音乐艺术几乎是相当无知。”你认可这种观点 American Music Styles James Fenimore Cooper, an early American writer, once said, "The Americans are almost ignorant of the art of music." If that was once true, you would never know it today. Most Americans--even those without a musical bone in their bodies--have a favorite style of music. Many people enjoy classical and folk music from around the world. But other popular music styles in America were "made in the U.S.A." Country and western music lies close to the heart of many Americans. This style originated among country folks in the southern and western United States. Country music tells down-to-earth stories about love and life ′s hardships. Guitars, banjos and violins give country music its characteristic sound. The home of country music is Nashville, Tennessee--Music City U.S.A. Jazz music, developed by African-Americans in the late 1800s, allows performers to freely express their emotions and musical skill. ①Instead of just playing the melody, jazz musicians improvise different tunes. The peak of jazz music came in the 1920s. This period produced musicians like Louis Armstrong, Benny Goodman and Duke Ellington. Different styles of jazz developed in different cities, ②such as New Orleans, Chicago, New York and Kansas City. ③The 1950s saw the development of an explosive new music style: rock ′n ′roll. This powerful music style addresses issues like love, sex, drugs, politics and death. Often it rebels against the accepted values of society. Rock concerts, featuring loud music and sometimes weird stage acts, have become a major part of American youth culture. Music videos on television have spread the message of rock to the far corners of the globe. And the beat goes on. Pop music represents popular styles that have wide appeal.

Frederick William Ⅰ，the King of Prussia , could never have imagined that his greatest gift to the Russian people would have such an amazing history . This gift was the Amber Room , which was given this name because several tons of amber were used to make it . The amber which was selected had a beautiful yellow-brown colour like honey . The design of the room was in the fancy style popular in those days . It was also a treasure decorated with gold and jewels , which took the country's best artists about ten years to make . In fact , the room was not made to be a gift . It was designed for the palace of Frederick Ⅰ. However, the next King of Prussia , Frederick William Ⅰ,to whom the amber room belonged, decided not to keep it. In 1716 he gave it to Peter the Great. In return , the Czar sent him a troop of his best soldiers. So the Amber Room because part of the Czar's winter palace in St Petersburg.About four metres long, the room served as a small reception hall for important visitors . Later,Catherine Ⅱhad the Amber Room moved to a palace outside St Petersburg where she spent her summers. She told her artists to add more details to it .In 1770 the room was completed the way she wanted . Almost six hundred candles lit the room ,and its mirrors and pictures shone like gold. Sadly , although the Amber Room was considered one of the wonders of the world , it is now missing . In September 1941, the Nazi army was near St Petersburg . This was a time when the two countries were at war . Before the Nazis could get to the summer palace , the Russians were able to remove some furniture and small art objects from the Amber Room . However , some of the Nazis secretly stole the room itself . In less than two days 100,000 pieces were put inside twenty-seven woooden boxs . There is no doubt that the boxs were then put on a train for Konigsberg, which was at that time a German city on the Baltic Sea . After that, what happened to the Amber Room remains a mystery . Recently , the Russians and Germans have built a new Amber Room at the summer palace . By studying old photos of the former Amber Room , they have made the new one look like the old one .In 2003 it was ready for the people of St Petersburg when they celebrated the 300th birthday of their city . A FACT OR AN OPINION? What is a fact? Is it something that people believe? No. A fact is anything that can be proved. For example, it can be proved that China has more people than any other country in the world. This is a fact. Then what is an opinion? An opinion is what someone believes is true but has not been proved. So an opinion is not good evidence in a trial. For example, it is an opinion if you say “Cats are better pets than dogs”. It may be true, but it is difficult to prove. Some people may not agree with this opinion but they also cannot prove that they are right. In a trial, a judge must decide which eyewit nesses to believe and which not to believe. The judge does not consider what each eyewitness looks like or where that person lives or works. He/she only cares about whether the eyewitness has given true information, which must be facts rather than opinions. This kind of information is called evidence.

He is now interviewing Li Yan, a volunteer for the 2008 Olympic Games.

第一单元友谊 Reading 安妮最好的朋友你是不是想有一位无话不谈能推心置腹的朋友呢？或者你是不是担心你的朋友会嘲笑你，会不理解你目前的困境呢？安妮·弗兰克想要的是第一种类型的朋友，于是她就把日记当成了她最好的朋友。安妮在第二次世界大战期间住在荷兰的阿姆斯特丹。她一家人都是犹太人，所以他们不得不躲藏起来，否则他们就会被德国纳粹抓去。她和她的家人躲藏了两年之后才被发现。在这段时间里，她唯一的忠实朋友就是她的日记了。她说，“我不愿像大多数人那样在日记中记流水账。我要把这本日记当作我的朋友，我要把我这个朋友称作基蒂”。安妮自从1942年7月起就躲藏在那儿了，现在，来看看她的心情吧。亲爱的基蒂：我不知道这是不是因为我长久无法出门的缘故，我变得对一切与大自然有关的事物都无比狂热。我记得非常清楚，以前，湛蓝的天空、鸟儿的歌唱、月光和鲜花，从未令我心迷神往过。自从我来到这里，这一切都变了。 ……比方说，有天晚上天气很暖和，我熬到11点半故意不睡觉，为的是独自好好看看月亮。但是因为月光太亮了，我不敢打开窗户。还有一次，就在五个月以前的一个晚上，我碰巧在楼上，窗户是开着的。我一直等到非关窗不可的时候才下楼去。漆黑的夜晚，风吹雨打，雷电交加，我全然被这种力量镇住了。这是我一年半以来第一次目睹夜晚…… ……令人伤心的是……我只能透过脏兮兮的窗帘观看大自然，窗帘悬挂在沾满灰尘的窗前，但观看这些已经不再是乐趣，因为大自然是你必须亲身体验的。

Using Language Reading, listening and writing 亲爱的王小姐：我同班上的同学有件麻烦事。我跟我们班里的一位男同学一直相处很好，我们常常一起做家庭作业，而且很乐意相互帮助。我们成了非常好的朋友。可是，其他同学却开始在背后议论起来，他们说我和这位男同学在谈恋爱，这使我很生气。我不想中断这段友谊，但是我又讨厌人家背后说闲话。我该怎么办呢？Reading and writing 尊敬的编辑：我是苏州高中的一名学生。我有一个难题，我不太善于同人们交际。虽然我的确试着去跟班上的同学交谈，但是我还是发现很难跟他们成为好朋友。因此，有时候我感到十分孤独。我确实想改变这种现状，但是我却不知道该怎么办。如果您能给我提些建议，我会非常感激的。第二单元世界上的英语 Reading 通向现代英语之路 16世纪末期大约有5百万到7百万人说英语，几乎所有这些人都生活在英国。后来，在17世纪英国人开始航海征服了世界其它地区。于是，许多别的国家开始说英语了。如今说英语的人比以往任何时候都多，他们有的是作为第一语言来说，有的是作为第二语言或外语。以英语作为母语的人，即使他们所讲的语言不尽相同，也可以互相交流。请看以下例子：英国人贝蒂：“请到我的公寓（flat）里来看看，好吗？” 美国人艾米：“好的。我很乐意到你的公寓（apartment）去。” 那么，英语在一段时间里为什么会起变化呢？事实上，当不同文化互相交流渗透时，所有的语言都会有所发展，有所变化。首先，在公元450年到1150年间，人们所说的英语跟今天所说的英语就很不一样。当时的英语更多地是以德语

高中英语阅读文本的解读doc

悟文本之美，显阅读之效 ——来自高中英语阅读文本解读的全过程记录浙江省温岭市大溪中学黄海丽【摘要】本文将通过一个阅读文本解读的全过程记录，来展示文本解读的基本流程；并着重剖析文本解读的技巧与策略。只有教师领悟到文本的美与精华，才能充分去挖掘和利用文本所赋予的内涵，真正发挥阅读教学的有效性，凸显阅读的目的所在。【关键词】阅读文本解读流程技巧与策略一、引言阅读教学一直是高中英语课堂的重头戏。《新课标》明确指出英语阅读教学的真正目的是提高学生语言综合运用能力。然而，在日常的阅读教学过程中，教师习惯于把目光聚焦到高级词汇、短语、优美的句子以及复杂的句型结构上，而对文本内容的处理只是蜻蜓点水，停留在表层的理解。在各种大型的阅读教学展示课上，教师为了在有限的四十五分钟之内充分展示自己所谓“完整”的教学设计，快马加鞭，一环紧接一环，迫使学生走马观花，紧张和被动地接受，使学生失去了自我学习的意识，根本没有体验真正开放性的，深层次思维的阅读活动，从而很难达到《新课标》的阅读教学目的。分析上述现象，究其根源，教师没有树立起现代的教学理念，对文本的解读没有到位，教学重点把握不准，教学思路混乱，教学时间分配不合理。因此，为了实现《新课标》的阅读教学目的，在文本的解读中，教师要将整体性原则和趋向性原则结合起来，既要挖掘文本中真实优美的语言、新颖独特的内容、深刻丰富的寓意, 又要趋向于文本中最精华部分的教学，这样，才能将语言、内容、思想完美地融为一体，最大化地体现文本的功能，最大化地发挥阅读教学的有效性。笔者在多年的教学实践中不断探索和尝试,总结了“文本解读四步法”。下面将通过一个阅读文本解读的全过程记录，来展示文本解读的基本流程，并剖析和探讨文本解读的技巧与策略。二、文本解读的全过程记录 1、教材内容：NSEFC Book 6 Unit 4 Reading: THE EARTH IS BECOMING WARMER --- BUT DOES IT MATTER? 2、教材分析：这是一篇杂志文章，主要讲述了地球温度上升的现象和原因。这种现象是自然发生还是人为的？这个问题引起了激烈的争论。许多科学家认为，这种变化是人类燃烧矿物燃料所致。这些物质的燃烧产生以二氧化碳为主的温室气体。正因为自然界有温室气体的存在，地球才不至于很冷。但大量排放二氧化碳会使地球普遍升温。对于地球升温，科学家有不同的看法。有些科学家认为，地球升温，会给人类带来灾难，也有科学家认为，有利于改善人类生活。文章最后以开放性的问题结尾：对于全球变暖，人类要不要采取措施？这是一篇集语言、内容、思想为一体的文章典范。文本中不仅含有丰富的词汇、短语以及高级结构句型，还围绕当今世界热门的话题“全球变暖”展开；文章既呈现了科学家们的观点，也留给读者想象和思考的空间。同时，文章还通过两个图表来呈现全球气温上升以及空气中二氧化碳含量上升的现象。然而，如何在有限的阅读课堂实现阅读效率的最大化，让学生学会从图表中获取、分析、处理和归纳信息，用语言去表达图表反应的现象、陈述个人的观点，需要教师对文本进行仔细地解读，感知、构建、推敲和锁定其亮点，然后重新整合，有效地设计，从而构建成文本解读的最佳基本流程。

必修4 Unit 1 A STUDENT OF AFRICAN WILDLIFE It is 5:45 am and the sun is just rising over Gombe National Park in East Africa. Following Jane's way of studying chimps, our group are all going to visit them in the forest. Jane has studied these families of chimps for many years and helped people understand how much they behave like humans. Watching a family of chimps wake up is our first activity of the day. This means going back to the place where we left the family sleeping in a tree the night before. Everybody sits and waits in the shade of the trees while the family begins to wake up and move off. Then we follow as they wander into the forest. Most of the time, chimps either feed or clean each other as a way of showing love in their family. Jane warns us that our group is going to be very tired and dirty by the afternoon and she is right. However, the evening makes it all worthwhile. We watch the mother chimp and her babies play in the tree. Then we see them go to sleep together in their nest for the night. We realize that the bond between members of a chimp family is as strong as in a human family. Nobody before Jane fully understood chimp behaviour. She spent years observing and recording their daily activities. Since her childhood she had wanted to work with animals in their own environment. However, this was not easy. When she first arrived in Gombe in 1960, it was unusual for a woman to live in the forest. Only after her mother came to help her for the first few months was she allowed to begin her project. Her work changed the way people think about chimps. For example, one important thing she discovered was that chimps hunt and eat meat. Until then everyone had thought chimps ate only fruit and nuts. She actually observed chimps as a group hunting a monkey and then eating it. She also discovered how chimps communicate with each other, and her study of their body language helped her work out their social system. For forty years Jane Goodall has been outspoken about making the rest of the world understand and respect the life of these animals. She has argued that wild animals should be left in the wild and not used for entertainment or advertisements. She has helped to set up special places where they can live safely. She is leading a busy life but she says: "Once I stop, it all comes crowding in and I remember the chimps in laboratories. It's terrible. It affects me when I watch the wild chimps. I say to myself, 'Aren't they lucky?" And then I think about small chimps in cages though they have done nothing wrong. Once you have seen that you can never forget ..." She has achieved everything she wanted to do: working with animals in their own environment, gaining a doctor's degree and showing that women can live in the forest as men can. She inspires those who want to cheer the achievements of women. WHY NOT CARRY ON HER GOOD WORK? I enjoyed English, biology, and chemistry at school, but which one should I choose to study at university? I did not know the answer until one evening when I sat down at the computer to do some research on great women of China. By chance I came across an article about a doctor called Lin Qiaozhi, a specialist in women's diseases. She lived from 1901 to 1983. It seemed that she had been very busy in her chosen career, travelling abroad to study as well as writing books and articles. One of them
