阅读是人们获取信息的最重要途径,在高中英语教学中,阅读是语言学习的重要环节,也是语言运用的重要方面。新课标要求高中毕业时,学生的阅读量除教材外,应达到30万字以上。因此,必须加强学生阅读兴趣的培养和阅读能力的提升。在高三复习过程中,对学生阅读能力的提升是复习效率高低的重要体现。对于学生阅读能力的复习提升,我们也可以使用情境与运用相结合的方法。
如在复习必修五第四单元(Model IV Unit4 Body Language)课文Show our feelings时,让学生浏览课文后,我做了两个假设:Supposewe are in America,I’ll show you several gestures of body language,please tell me the meaning of these gestures.学生答出后,我又说Suppose two people meet at their friend’s party.One is a Brazilian,the other is a Danish.What will happen?Discuss in group of four,then perform one situation tous.
学生开始讨论,4分钟后几组同学上台表演(role-play)下面是其中一组的表演片段:
A:I’m Peter from Brazilian,a friend of thebride,Miss Zhang.
B:I’m Brown from Denmark,a friend of thegroom,Mr.Smith.
Narrator:They meet at the couple’s wedding for the first time.After they are introduced toeach otherby the couple they began talking:
A:Whatagood day?
B:Yes!A lovely day!
A:(Moves forward to B).I’ve known Miss Zhang,the bridge,for at least ten years,but never found her so beautiful and happy.
B:(Frowns and Moves backward).My friend,Mr.Smiths is hand some,too.
A:(Moves forward again)!I’m sure theywill liveawonderful life.
B:(Looks uncomfortable).I think so.Oh,My God!I forgot to bring the gift to the couple.Imustbe leaving togetit.Bye!
A:(Looksdisappointed).Wait!Wait a moment!
她们表演结束后,同学们非常高兴,大家处于积极的交流状态下,此时,我发给学生一篇文章——2012年高考完形填空再造,即将所缺空填充后,编制了几道阅读理解题,让学生在5分钟内完成该文章的阅读。
阅读下面短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项。
Body language is the quiet,secret and most powerful language of all!It speaks louder than words.According to specialists,our bodies send outmore messages than we realize.In fact,non-verbal(非言语)communication takes up about 50%of what we really mean.And body language is particularly importantwhen we attempt to communicate across cultures.Indeed,what is called body language is somuch a partof us that it's actually often unnoticed.Andmisunderstandingsoccur asa resultof it.For example,differentsocieties treat the distance between people differently.Northern Europeans usually do not like having bodily contact(接触)even with friends,and certainly notwith strangers.People from Latin American countries,on the other hand,touch each other quite a lot.Therefore,it's possible that in conversation.Itmay look like a Latino is following a Norwegian all over the room.The Latino,trying to express friendship,will keep moving closer.The Norwegian,very probably seeing this as pushiness,will keep backing away which the Latino will in return regard as coldness.
Clearly,a great deal is going on when people talk.And only a partof it is in the words themselves.And when parties are from different cultures,there's a strong possibility ofmisunderstanding.But whatever the situation,thebestadvice is toobey theGolden Rule:treatothersas youwould like tobe treated.
