高一英语语法填空专项练习

高一英语语法填空专项练习（一）第二节语法填空（共10小题，每小题1.5分，满分15分） Do you ever wonder why you yawn? Why do you open your mouth wide and take a deep breath? Well, a scientist at the University of Maryland is searching for the answer. Professor Robert Provine has been studying yawning for the past two years. But he says he still does not know 31 people yawn. In fact, no one seems to know much about it. Professor Provine’s students have helped him find out more about yawning. They agreed to 32 (watch) while sitting alone in small rooms. In the rooms, they watched television programs, or pictures of people yawning. Or they just sat and 33 (think) about yawning. Students also kept records of when they yawned throughout the day. The professor says he has learned 34 number of things from these experiments. He says yawning seems linked in some way to sleeping. His students yawned most just before sleeping or 35 waking from sleep. He also found that people yawn much when they are __36 (bore ) or not interested in what they are doing. Now, Professor Provine is planning future experiments to help him find the purpose of yawning. He said there is some evidence 37 yawning is linked to 38 (excite). Yawning is common among runners 39 (wait) to begin a race. It is also common among people waiting to make a speech. Professor Provine says he is most interested in learning why seeing someone yawn makes others yawn as well. He says almost anything connected with yawning can make people yawn. As a matter of fact, I found 40 yawning a lot as I prepared this report. I wonder if hearing it can make you yawn. If it does, excuse me, if you did yawn, write and tell me. 答案：31.why 32.be watched 33.thought 34.a 35.after 36. bored 37.that 38.excitement 39.waiting 40.myself （二）第二节语法填空（共10小题; 每小题1.5分，满分15分） Traditional Chinese culture places much emphasis（重视）on food.

They need fast food. That is _32_ China’s fast-food market expands. A foreign fast-food restaurant __33__（call）KFC arrived in China first, quickly followed by _34_ such as Pizza Hut and McDonald’s. __35__ the development of China, foreign fast-food chains are realizing high-speed __36__ (grow) in China. However, these “junk foods”have long been criticized by health experts because __37__ can’t provide balanced nutrition(营养).

Among them, dumplings, soybean milk and noodles are __39__ most popular. Compared with foreign fast food, those traditional ones are healthier. __40__ many Chinese still enjoy the special taste and the good environment in the foreign fast-food chains even though there exist some potential（潜在的）risks. 第二节语法填空(共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，按照句子结构的语法性和上下文连贯的要求，在空格处填人一个适当的词或

让多媒体走进小学英语课堂

让多媒体走进小学英语课堂多媒体技术整合于英语学科教学，主动适应课程的发展，并与其和谐自然融为一体。作为课程改革不可或缺的条件，多媒体技术在教学中的飞速发展，必将使教师更新教学观念，营造学习环境，完善教学模式，变革评价方法，促进科学与人文统一，让课堂更精彩。那么，多媒体技术在小学英语教学过程中到底有什么作用呢？笔者认为主要表现在以下几个方面：一、运用多媒体，激发学习兴趣托尔斯泰说：“成功的教学所需要的不是强制而是激发学生兴趣。”培养学生学习英语的兴趣无疑是小学英语教学的关键所在。学生只有对自己感兴趣的东西才会开动脑筋、积极思考，外国学者在研究可靠学习发生的条件时指出：学生只能学到那些他们有兴趣的东西，在缺乏适当的环境﹑背景和铺垫的时候，学习不能发生。因此，在教学中要重视培养和引导学生学习英语的兴趣爱好。现代信息技术具有形象性﹑直观性﹑色彩鲜艳﹑图像逼真等特点，能将抽象的教学内容变成具体的视听形象，激发情趣，调动学生多种感官同时参与，从而激发学生的学习兴趣，使学生从多角度轻松舒畅地接受知识，并使其记忆长久。二、运用多媒体，突破教学难点小学生的思维正处在由具体形象向抽象思维过渡的时期，而有些教学内容之所以成为学生学习的难点就是因为缺乏语境而显得不具体。如果仅凭教师的描述和讲解，往往是教师花了很大精力，教学效果却事倍功半。而运用多媒体演示就能够突破时空限制，化静为动，使抽象的概念具体化、形象化，不仅突破了教材的难点，还可以加深学生对教学内容的理解和掌握，从而提高教学效率，达到事半功倍的效果。例如：在教学“in、on、behind、under、near”这几个表示空间关系的方位介词时，我利用多媒体设计了这样的动画：通过点按鼠标，一只小猫一会儿跳到书桌上，一会儿藏在桌子里，一会儿蹦到书桌下，一会儿躲到桌子后，一会儿又窜到桌子旁。随着小猫的位置移动，电脑会问：Where is the cat？这样连续演示几次，学生通过观察、思考，就能快速地回答：It’s on the desk\in the desk\under the desk……，动画刺激了学生的感官，诱发了思维，难点不仅易于突出，更易于突破。三、运用多媒体，提高创新能力创新能力是未来人才的重要素质，是一个民族兴旺发达的灵魂。因此发挥每个学生潜在的创造因素，培养学生的创新能力，是当前教育工作者研究的重要课题。要想培养创新能力，就要力求使学生处于动眼、动手、动口的主体激活状态。多媒体技术对文本、图形、声音、动画和视频等信息具有集成处理的能力，使教学手段趋于全方位、多层次，它能加速学生感知过程，促进认识深化、加深理解、

多媒体对小学英语教学的作用.docx

一、多媒体的设计要符合学生认知规律多媒体的设计应依据学生学习的需求来分析，并采用解决问题的最佳方案，使教学效果达到最优化。多媒体教学的手段能化被动为主动，化生硬为生动，化抽象为直观，化理论为实践。根据小学生的认知规律，他们缺乏坚实的理论基础，但直观的操作演示可以弥补这项弱点，可以帮助他们更好地理解和掌握。对此，学者们已渐有共识这种直观生动的教学形式极大地激发了学生的学习兴趣，也引发了学生丰富的想象力和创造力。在教学设计过程中，一方面，要运用多媒体的功能优势，将课本中抽象原理形象化，从而激发学生学习的兴趣，提高学习效果；另一方面必须让教学过程符合学生的认知规律，要多为学生创设动手操作的机会。例如，在教学?一课时，我利用多媒体设计了一次动物聚会，森林里有很多小动物，有些通过图片来呈现，有些通过动画来呈现。我带领学生边欣赏多媒体演示边复习了小动物的单词，然后引导学生猜每种小动物都来了几个，通过猜测的方式，强调复数的用法。这里我使用了链接的方式，让学生像在欣赏魔术表演一样，使其出于好奇而变得主动。通过设计符合学生知识基础和认知能力的多媒体教学内容，不仅能够激发学生学习的积极性和主动性，而且能够促进学生对知识的自我建构和内化。此外，考虑到学生的年龄特点，在每节课的教学过程中我还格外重视评价的作用，而多媒体技术在这方面也表现出独特的优势。

不论是学习单词、句型，还是与电脑进行互动交流，每个知识点都有图案背景，并提供过程性评价，随之出现的评价语言和动画无不让学生兴奋异常。这种符合学生认知规律和个性化特征的内容设计与反馈，不仅使学生们感受到获得成功的喜悦，更达到了快乐交互学习的目的。二、多媒体的应用要适时、适度和适量信息技术整合于课程不是简单地将信息技术应用于教学，而是高层次地融合与主动适应。必须改变传统的单一辅助教学的观点，创造数字化的学习环境，创设主动学习情景，创设条件让学生最大限度地接触信息技术，让信息技术成为学生强大的认知工具，最终达到改善学习的目的。为保证多媒体与英语教学有效的融合，充分发挥多媒体技术应用的效果，在利用多媒体进行教学设计过程中，要遵循适时、适度和适量的原则，即在恰当的时间选择合适的媒体，适量地呈现教学内容。在设计多媒体的过程中，要把握教学时机，不同的教学内容和教学环节，决定了多媒体运用的最佳时机也不同，精心策划才能妙笔生花，不能为使用多媒体而使用，不要一味追求手段的先进性、豪华性，而造成课堂教学过程中的画蛇添足。这就要求教师熟悉多媒体的功能和常用多媒体的种类、特点，以便在教学设计和应用过程中将多媒体与课程学习进行有效地融合，最终提高课堂教学效果。例如，在学习?这一知识点时，传统的英语课常常是借助钟表或模型来解释某一时刻，讲解整点、几点几分、差几分几点。

语法填空专题训练预热题第一节语法填空（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分）阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(不多于3个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。 We high school students do have some growing pains, but we can get rid of them correctly and wisely. 1 , some of us are upset 2 their body styles and looks. It’s unnecessary and it’s not important at all. We needn’t care about it. It is one’s inner beauty 3 matters. Second, we sometimes seem to be misunderstood 4 our teachers, parents and classmates. 5 (face) with this, we can find a proper time to have a heart-to-heart talk with them, trying to remove the 6 (understand). Some of us have fewer friends. I think being open-minded and friendly will do you good. Third, we may fall behind others, 7 makes us stressed. Actually we can encourage 8 to work efficiently, full of 9 (determine). At last, some of us don’t have much pocket money, so they feel unhappy. Isn’t it strange? So long as we have some, that’s enough. And we can learn 10 to spend money 【文章综述】本文讲述高中生成长中有很多的烦恼，我们应该用正确的方式来处理。【答案解析】 1.First与第三行的Second形成呼应，都表示列举 2.about 考察固定搭配be upset about…对…感到难过，失望；很多人对于自己的体型和外貌感到难过。 3.that本句是一个强调句型It is…that/who…；本句强调的是主语one’s inner beauty，句意：重要的是我们的内在美。 4.by本句话考查被动语态。Be misunderstood by 被。。误解。 5.Faced 本句中的faced是动词face的过去分词转换的形容词，构成be faced with…面对着…；在句中使用形容词来说明后面主句转换主语的情况。 6.misunderstanding考查名词。句意：我们找合适的时间来与父母面对面交谈，来消除误解。 7.which 本句是一个非限制性定语从句，which指代前面一句话的内容在句中做主语。 8.ourselves 本句中使用反身代词ourselves表示强调。我们经常鼓励自己高效工作。 9.determination 本句中介词of后面要接名词作宾语，故使用determine的名词determination。 10. how 本句考察的“特殊疑问词+不定式”在句中做宾语的用法，在本句中how to spend money作为动词learn的宾语。

语法填空专项练习一 A wealthy old lady who lived near Dr. Swift used to send him presents occasionally by her servant. Dr. Swift took her presents but never gave the boy anything for 1 trouble. One day as Swift was busy with his writing, 2 boy rushed into his room, knocked some books out of 3 place, threw his parcel on the desk and said, “My mistress(女主人) has sent you two of 4 rabbits.” Swift turned 5 and said, “My boy, that is not the 6 to deliver your parcel. Now, you sit in my chair, watch my way of doing it and learn your lesson.” The boy sat down. Swift went out, knocked on his door and waited. The boy said, “Come in.” The doctor entered, 7 (walk) to his desk and said, “8 you please sir, my mistress sends her kind regards and hopes you will accept these rabbits which her son shot this morning in her fields.” The boy answered, “Thank you, my boy.

I was alone on the road by now, but as I drove up to the light, it turned red, and I braked to a halt. I look left, right, and behind me. 1 . Not a car, no suggestion of headlights, but 2 I sat, 3 (wait) the light to change, the only human being for at least a mile in any direction. I started wondering 4 I refused to run the light. I was not afraid of 5 (catch) by the police, because there was obviously no cop 6 around and there certainly would have been no danger in going 7 it. Much later that night, the 8 question of why I’d stopped for that light came 9 to me. I think I stopped because it’s part of a contract (合同) we all have with each other. It’s not only the law, but it’s an agreement we have, and we trust 10 to honor it: we don’t go through red lights. Like most of us, I’m ready to be stopped from doing something bad by the social agreement that disapproves of it than by any law against it. 三 Did you know that in the mountains it can start to snow in August? It snows through the fall and winter. 1 , in spring, when all that snow melts, water falls down the mountainsides. Streams(溪流) form and come 2 to form rivers. Let’s follow one of the rivers in Utah. The Bear River begins nearly 13,000 feet 3 in the mountains. It ends only 90 miles 4 , but it will have dropped about 9,000 feet first! The most surprising thing about this river is where 5 ends. If you look at a map, you will see that nearly all rivers 6 (empty) into the sea. But 7 the water of the Bear River. This river flows into the Great Salt Lake, the
