閱讀是人們獲取信息的最重要途徑,在高中英語教學中,閱讀是語言學習的重要環(huán)節(jié),也是語言運用的重要方面。新課標要求高中畢業(yè)時,學生的閱讀量除教材外,應達到30萬字以上。因此,必須加強學生閱讀興趣的培養(yǎng)和閱讀能力的提升。在高三復習過程中,對學生閱讀能力的提升是復習效率高低的重要體現(xiàn)。對于學生閱讀能力的復習提升,我們也可以使用情境與運用相結合的方法。
如在復習必修五第四單元(Model IV Unit4 Body Language)課文Show our feelings時,讓學生瀏覽課文后,我做了兩個假設:Supposewe are in America,I’ll show you several gestures of body language,please tell me the meaning of these gestures.學生答出后,我又說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.
學生開始討論,4分鐘后幾組同學上臺表演(role-play)下面是其中一組的表演片段:
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!
她們表演結束后,同學們非常高興,大家處于積極的交流狀態(tài)下,此時,我發(fā)給學生一篇文章——2012年高考完形填空再造,即將所缺空填充后,編制了幾道閱讀理解題,讓學生在5分鐘內完成該文章的閱讀。
閱讀下面短文,從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中,選出最佳選項。
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(非言語)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(接觸)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.
