1.初中英语主题拓展阅读教学的价值1.1能够丰富英语阅读教学资源初中英语教学中开展主题拓展阅读教学活动能够打破教材内容的局限,让英语阅读教学资源得以丰富。
英语阅读不只是让学生学习基本的词汇、短语、句型和语法等知识,更是为了通过语篇的阅读理解,使学生了解相关领域的知识、文化,提升学生的文化素养。
现阶段社会发展步伐不断加快,各领域的知识、技术等不断创新,而英语教材内容并不能做到实时更新,因此从内容上来看具有一定局限性,不能满足学生学习和掌握前沿知识的需求。
在开展主题拓展阅读教学时,教师可以围绕教材中的主题内容,结合社会发展情况,为学生拓展相应的阅读材料,使学生通过拓展阅读资源了解当前社会发展的新局势,开拓学生视野,在讨论新话题、分析当下热门问题时,也能够激发学生自主阅读、讨论、分析的积极性。
1.2能够促进学生思维品质发展培养学生思维品质是初中英语核心素养培养中的主要目标,主题拓展阅读教学在培养学生思维品质方面发挥重要价值,其主要体现在以下几方面:(1)提升学生逻辑思维。

初中英语拓展阅读(2)ARed is used in many American expressions. It can be used to show happiness, as in the expression “a red-letter day”. This is a day when something special happens. The expressi on is probably based on church customs. For almost 600 years, church calendars have been marked with red to show special holy days. Today’s calendars are still marked that way with the dates of holidays and special days printed in red.The expressio n “a red-letter day” is often heard in everyday life. “A red-letter day” is a day that people are especially happy. It may be a day that you have long waited for, a wedding day, for example. Or it may be a day with a happy surprise. You might tell a friend that yesterday was a red-letter day, because you won some money in the lottery.“Rolling out the red carpet” is another commonly heard expression. It describes an especially warm welcome of any kind. A city may “roll out the red carpet” for its baseball t eam, when the team arrives home after winning a championship. A group of supporters go to the airport to greet the team. The red-carpet welcome includes a lot of cheering by thousands of fans, a parade, music and speeches of praise by local politicians.Red is also used in some expressions that are not happy. “Red-handed” is one. To be caught “red-handed” is to be found in an act of wrong doing. The evidence is clear. You are guilty.Today we use the expression to be caught “red-handed” in situation s that are not serious. For example, a mother might say she caught her son red-handed, taking cookies out of the cookie jar.Choose the best answer for each question.( )1.

In other words, lots of English people like the idea of sports. A lot of them watch sports on TV. But the number of the people who take part in sports is quite small.(6) On the whole, English people prefer to be fat rather than thin.The most popular sport in England is football.(7) Football is played on Saturday afternoons in most towns and the supporters of a certain team will travel from one end of the country to the other to watch their team play. There are four divisions of the football league.(8) Not surprisingly, the best teams are in the first division. But the best supporters are often in the fourth division. You have to be a good supporter to watch the fourth division football!Many other sports are also played in England,(9) such as golf, in which you try to knock a ball into a hole; basketball, in which you try to get a ball through a net; tennis, in which you try to hit a ball so that your opponent can not hit it. As you see, if the ball had not been invented, there would have been no sport.Of course, that is not quite true. Athletics isn’t played with a ball, nor horse racing. Perhaps that is why they are not so popular as football!(10)Put the underlined sentences into Chinese.6. ___________________________________________7. ___________________________________________8. ___________________________________________9. ___________________________________________10. ___________________________________________Help: divisions n. 级opponent n. 对手athletics n. 田径运动horse racing 赛马CNational Library of New Zealand is open from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm, from Monday to Friday and 9:00 am to 1:00 pm, on Saturday.

This is a television show for all the families, and I know you’re going to enjoy it.Let’s start with a story I heard the o ther day about a very proud pig. This pig lived on a farm with a lot of other animals. And of all the animals on the farm, he thought he was the most important. But it was not enough that he himself thought this way. He had to be sure that the other animals thought so, too. So he went up to one of the chickens and asked, “Who is the most important animal on the farm?” Straight away, the chicken answered, “You are, master.” Then he asked one of the farm dogs, and he got the same reply.Next, he asked a cow. When the cow seemed uncertain of the right answer, the pig looked angry and showed his teeth. “Oh, you are, of course, master pig,” said the cow. “Of course,” the pig said. “There is no doubt about it.”At last, the pig asked a big horse, “Who is the most important animal on the farm?” The horse lifted one foot, rolled the pig over, and placed his foot on the pig’s head. “All right,” said the pig, “you don’t have to do that just becaus e you don’t know the answer.”Choose the best answer for each question.( )1.

It was the time of the Gold Rush.Thousands of people were coming to California to dig for gold. And Levi Strauss came to sell canvas to these gold miners. Canvas was a heavy fabric. So Levi Strauss thought the miners might need it to mend tents.One day Strauss heard a miner said he couldn’t find clothes strong enough for the work he was doing. Strauss got an idea. He quickly took some of his canvas and made it into trousers. These trousers were just what the miners needed. In one day he sold all the trousers he had made.Strauss wanted to make better trousers. So he bought the fabric that was softer than canvas but just as strong. This fabric came from Nimes, a city in France, so the miners called it “denim” and bought more trousers from Strauss.However, denim had no color. Because of this the denim trousers did not look very nice, and they got dirty easily. To solve this problem, Strauss dyed the denim blue.Strauss started a company. Today the company is known around the world and its trousers are popular with many people from teens to the old. And the trousers are thought not only strong but also pretty. This is how jeans came out. Mark these statements with “T” (true) or “F” (false).( )6. In 1850, many people went to California to buy trousers made of denim.( )7. Levi Strauss was born in Germany, but did business in America.( )8. Denim first came f rom Levi Strauss’s hometown.( )9. A lot of people like to wear jeans in the world.( )10.

And it goes on until one of the men crashes through a window and falls thirty feet to the ground below. He is dead!Of course, he isn’t really dead. With luck he isn’t even hurt. Why? Because the men who fall out of high windows or jump from fast moving trains are professionals. They do these for a living. These men are called stuntmen. That is to say, they perform tricks. There are two sides to their work. They actually do most of the things you see on the screen. However, they do not fall onto hard ground, but onto empty cardboard boxes covered with a mattress. And, when they hit one another with chairs, the chairs are made of soft wood, and when they crash through windows, the glass is made of sugar! But although their work depends on trick of this sort, it also requires a high degree of skill and training. Often a stuntman’s success depends on careful timing. For example, he has to jump out of the range of the explosion just at the right moment.Naturally stuntmen are well paid for their work, but they lead dangerous lives. They often get seriously injured, and sometimes killed. A Norwegian stuntman, for example, skied over the edge of a cliff a thousand feet high. His parachute failed to open, and he was killed.Choose the best answer for each question.( )11. From the passage, we know that stuntmen are those who _____________.A. often dress up as actorsB. prefer to lead dangerous livesC. often perform seemingly dangerous actionsD. often fight with each other( )12. Stuntmen earn their living by __________________.A. playing their dirty tricksB. selling their special skillsC. jumping out of high windowsD. jumping from fast moving trains( )13. ___________ is the main factor of a successful performance.A. StrengthB. ExactnessC. SpeedD. Trick( )14. What can be inferred from the example of the Norwegian stuntman?A. Sometimes an accident may occur to a stuntman.B. The percentage of serious accidents is high.C. The cliff is too high.D.

在初中英语拓展阅读教学中探究主题意义——以《多维英语（ADreamComesTrue）》阅读教学为例
在初中英语拓展阅读教学中探究主题意义——以《多维英语（ A Dream ComesTrue）》阅读教学为例《普通高中英语课程标准（2017年版）》（教育部，2018；以下简称《课标》）提出发展英语学科核心素养，落实立德树人的根本任务（中华人民共和国教育部，2018）。
随着教学改革是深入，越来越多的教师发现仅仅依靠教材内的阅读材料，很难提高学生的阅读素养。
因此，补充语言地道真实、内容有趣又有意义的阅读材料得到了很多老师的认可。
找到适合学生的阅读材料，开展阅读教学，不仅能提升学生的阅读能力与语言能力，还有助于其思维品质、文化品格、学习能力的提升，能促进其全面、健康发展（王蔷、陈则航，2016）。
《义务教育英语课程标准（2011年版）》（教育部，2012）对初中生的阅读素养提出了具体、详细的要求，并指出初中生应完成15万词以上的课外阅读量。
然而，从目前的英语阅读教学现状来看，大多数教师习惯了对教材“豆腐块”式的短小的阅读材料进行“精耕细作”，并没有增加学生的课外阅读。
且在教学过程中，侧重语言的“形”，即语言的工具化，如阅读技能训练、表层信息理解、语言点教学等；而忽视了阅读过程中，所读语篇主题意义的“神”，即，引领学生探究围绕着“人与自我”、“人与社会”、“人与自然”三大主题语境背后的内涵，忽视了情感渗透以及价值观培养等人文教育，忽视了培养学生用英语进行思辨和表达的能力，忽视了在阅读教学中发展核心素养、落实学科育人的目标。
而阅读教学是培养学生思维品质的重要途径之一。
那么怎么通过课外阅读材料的选择，围绕英语学科核心素养进行有效阅读教学，这是全体英语教师需要面对的问题。
本文基于我课题组一位老师《多维英语》第十五级中A Dream Comes True一文的阅读教学设计，探讨如何在课外拓展阅读教学中探究主题意义。

Today there are 6.4 billion people on the earth. By the year 2050 there may be 12.5 billion. There are many people to feed. We need more and more food.
One way to produce more food is growing stronger plants. For thousands of years, farmers have made plants better. Every season, they pick the best plants for the next season. It works very slowly. Since 1983, scientists have been able to change plants more quickly by changing their genetic(遗传的) material. Foods from plants grown in this way are called genetically modified (转基因的) foods, or GM foods.
By changing the genetic material of a plant, it is possible to make new plants. Scientists make plants which are strong against plant diseases (疾病). They can also help in our diseases: a kind of rice will be grown, for example, which stops people becoming blind.
Rich countries produce GM foods because they are easy to grow and bring in more money. Poor countries are interested in them because they help produce more food.
GM plants are not natural. No one knows how good or bad they are. Making GM foods is only one way of feeding people in 2050.There are strong feelings against them because they are
unnatural. They may feed people, but then hurt them or their children later. But both rich and poor countries are interested in their uses, and they are not going to go away. In 2050, we may think differently about them.
