(英语)高三英语阅读理解专项训练及答案
（英语）高三英语阅读理解专项训练及答案 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 The setting was a packed gymnasium just before the start of a game against another school. There were five girls who were members of the Danville High School basketball team—all of them starters. They were not in uniform to play that night and would not be on the team for the rest of this season. They were there to admit their breaking of team rules. They were there to support their coach's decision to take them off the team. They were there to let the town know there was a problem in their little community that needed to be addressed. And they did it with sincere regret rather than defensiveness. While the school had been out for the New Year's holiday, the five girls had gone to the party with several of their friends. There was alcohol there. And they all drank some. Coach Rainville has a zero tolerance rule on drugs and alcohol for her members though it was a hard decision to make. When classes resumed and accounts of holiday parties were shared, rumors about the five girls began closing in on them. The coach said she couldn't back down on her rules. And the players—two junior students and three senior students—agreed. That night in the gym was part of their public support of the coach's decision. “We hope you will understand that we are not bad kids. What we did was definitely not worth it. We hope this event will make everyone realize that there is a big drug and alcohol problem in our community,” one of the senior students said, “And if you work with us to try to solve this problem, you will help us feel that we have not been thrown off our basketball team for nothing.” The five left the floor to deafening applause. The team may not win another game this year. But they've learnt something about personal responsibility, the effect of one's action on others, and honesty that will serve them well throughout life. （1）It can be inferred from the passage that the five girls who were kicked off the team were ________. A. very good players on the team B. addicted to alcohol and drugs C. three junior students and two senior students D. scolded by their parents for drinking alcohol （2）What did the girls do to support their coach's decision? A. They didn't fight for Danville High School any more. B. They all gave speeches to apologize in the local press. C. They admitted their mistake in public in the gymnasium. D. They would never drink any alcohol throughout their life. （3）Which word best describes the coach Rainville? A. Indifferent. B. Strict. C. Stubborn. D. Cruel. （4）Which would be the best title for the passage? A. Growing up with pain B. A bad mistake C. Team rules are everything D. Basketball girls in high school 【答案】（1）A
小学生英语阅读能力培养
小学生英语阅读能力培养 当今社会是个信息社会，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，指导我们的学习、工作、生活。在《小学英语新课程标准》的指导下，目前的小学英语高年级教材，词汇量已大大增加，每个单元都出现了两篇阅读理解。笔者在日常高段英语教学中发现，学生的英语阅读能力普遍较弱。学生在阅读的时候通常会有畏难情绪，通常是读了几遍，也不知道文章讲的是什么意思，更不用说叫学生用自己的语言去回答问题。笔者认为在英语学习过程中，英语阅读能力的培养至关重要。 一、何谓阅读理解 阅读理解是一个心理过程。一个信息以文字符号为载体（图像也可），通过阅读过程传递，在这个过程中，头脑经过接收分析和猜想，把信息恢复过来，这就是阅读理解过程。阅读的过程可分为两类，一类活动的任务是扩大输入、阅读欣赏。这类活动以读为主。另一类活动的任务是针对性地训练阅读技巧。这些技巧包括预测所读内容、抓主题大意、抓特定细节、根据上下文猜词义、推断隐含意义等。
二、小学生在阅读中存在的困难 1、心理障碍。由于小学生词汇量少，在阅读中“拦路虎”较多，加上缺乏适合小学生的阅读材料，往往使小学生对英语阅读产生惧怕心理，对英语读物望而生畏，造成心理紧张，而越紧张就越难以读懂，形成失败定势。有一名学生曾经对我说：“我是很想多看看一些英语短文，可是有好多生词，我不认识。一开始，我还有耐心去查字典。可是我查完一个，一看，下一个还是不认识，我又要接着查。好累好累，终于我没兴趣再看下去了。渐渐地，我对阅读失去了兴趣、信心。我越是害怕自己看不懂，考试的时候就越看不懂这些阅读文章。”笔者想这名学生道出了绝大多数学生的心里话。 2、缺乏语感能力。语感能力是学生在掌握知识和培养各种言语技能到一定程度时获得的一种能力。小学生语感能力还未形成，理解力也差，听别人说话抓不住要领，不善于猜测词义，几乎每句话都要通过翻译成汉语才能继续阅读。于是往往读懂了上句，猜不到下句会说什么，读了下文又联系不到上文，造成前后脱节，阅读速度异常缓慢。因为在高段，有些阅读文章的句子会比较长，学生的语法知识相对来说也很少，对学生的阅读造成一定的困难。 3、缺乏良好习惯。笔者曾经在教学中发现有些学生在阅读文章的时候，喜欢读出声音来。他们说，只有读出声

浅谈小学生英语阅读能力的培养
————————————————————————————————作者：————————————————————————————————日期：
浅谈小学生英语阅读能力的培养内容提要：根据《英语课程标准》中在语言技能一、二级读的目标描述，本文论述了小学生英语阅读培养的意义以及影响学生阅读能力的主要原因，归纳出提高学生的阅读能力的方法。 关键词：阅读能力阅读兴趣阅读习惯评价 在知识日新月异，信息突飞猛进的今天，英语作为承载和传输信息的一种国际化语言，越来越受到重视，一个人英语阅读能力的高低，往往决定了他吸收有用的信息的数量和质量。所以，从小培养学生的英语阅读能力具有重大的意义。《英语课程标准》中在语言技能一、二级读的目标描述中明确要求小学生能借助图片读懂简单的故事或小短文，并养成按意群阅读的习惯。 语言的本质是交际，交际既是语言学习的目地，也是语言习得的途径，因此，英语交际教学法也越来越受到英语教师的广泛重视和使用。在我们现有的人教版PEP教材中，从三年级开始的每一册书里面的每一个单元以学生接触较多的生活片段作为学习的主题，教师将着重点转移到了学生对语言的运用上，尤其是口语交际。在课堂上，我们越来越多的通过情境教学来培养学生的交际能力，很多老师往往侧重听说能力的培养，相应的，学生的口语水平有了很大的提高，而忽视了阅读能力的培养，我们通过平时的测验也慢慢发现学生的阅读能力、理解能力有所降低，这不利于学生的终身学习的发展。为此，在听说的基础上培养学生的阅读能力就显得尤为的重要，从小学阶段开始教师就应该有意识培养学生良好的英语阅读习惯和能力。 一、小学生阅读能力培养的意义 1、阅读可以促使学生产生巨大的成功感 兴趣是学生学习的最好的老师，是促进学习的真正动力。如果小学生能够读懂一些简单的英语笑话、小诗、童话等有趣的教材，在他们心中，就会产生巨大的成功感。而这种成功感会使他们学习英语的兴趣倍增，同时也进一步增强自信心，由此，他们学习英语的动机得到很大的激励，更加爱学英语，并且愿意主动地学习英语。 2、阅读可以增加学生词汇量 在小学阶段，词汇量对小学生学习而言是重点，也是难点，如果没有词汇作基础，学生语音、语法的学习就无从谈起，学生掌握的英语知识也相当有限。此外，词汇的学习也是学生出现两极分化的原因之一，我们可以发现，大部分学困生都不愿意花更多的时间记单词，或是他们不能更牢固地记忆单词。单纯的单词记忆，会使他们觉得枯燥，也很难记住，长此以往，他们对记忆单词产生了恐惧的心理，甚至对英语的学习也逐渐丧失了兴趣。为此，作

高考英语阅读理解专项训练及答案及解析
高考英语阅读理解专项训练及答案及解析 一、高中英语阅读理解 1．阅读理解 Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is gaining global popularity. According to a government white paper, TCM has been introduced in 183 countries and regions around the world. Westerners' understanding of TCM, however, may be limited to acupuncture, cupping and massage(针灸，拔罐和按摩). For instance, the purple, injury-like marks left on U. S. swimmer Michael Phelps，back from cupping for the purpose of relaxing his muscles and reducing pain became the center of attention during the Rio Olympics in 2016. As a matter of fact, Chinese herbs play a more important role in getting rid of diseases and keeping the body in good condition in the TCM treatment system than physical treatment. It is therefore disheartening to know that while 103 World Health Organization member countries have given approval to the practice of acupuncture, not many recognize Chinese herbal medicine. TCM falls far behind Western medicine owing partly to the slow development of Chinese herbs. Herbs are made into pills, powder and soup, and the kind of herbs used, their quality and quantity, and the processing of the ingredients (原材料) jointly determine the effectiveness of the prescription. Compared with Western medicine, which has standardized drug production processes and treatment methods, TCM lacks standardization, with the chemical composition and functions of its medicines being unclear and their effects being unstable. Fortunately, standardization has improved in recent decades, with an increasing number of factories producing patented TCM drugs. Another factor that has prevented the development of TCM prescription drugs is the lack of creativity. While Western medicine-making companies come up with new products every year, TCM drug producers tend to make medicines according to prescriptions handed down from the past. Chinese chemist Tu Youyou's winning the 2015 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for her research into malaria (疟疾) treatment may drive creativity to some extent in China's TCM industry. However, the current state of affairs cannot be changed within a short time. （1）Why does the author mention the example of Michael Phelps? A. Because he was injured in his swimming. B. Because cupping is a kind of important TCM treatment. C. Because westerners know a little about TCM. D. Because westerners attach great importance to TCM. （2）Why don't some member countries of WHO recognize Chinese herbal medicine? A. Because Chinese herbs can get rid of diseases. B. Because they only approve the practice of acupuncture. C. Because Western medicine is more effective. D. Because medicine made out of Chinese herbs develops slowly. （3）Compared with Western medicine, what is the weak point of TCM in Paragraph 4? A. The methods of planting herbs. B. The effectiveness of prescription. C. Lacking in standardization. D. Its stable functions.
