1、Unit 5 Into the wildPeriod 3 Developing ideas教学设计 本课时学生将学习一篇记叙文,讲述了作者在黄石国家森林公园摄影时偶遇一只熊的故事。通过这个故事作者告诉我们要尊重自然,与自然和谐相处。而这也是学习本篇文章学生所应该树立的基本价值观和世界观。与此同时,本篇文章出现了大量学生所不熟悉的语言点,语法或语言现象。在教学过程中,在学生理解文意的基础上,教师可根据实际情况选择其中的一部分出来重点讲解和学习即可,不必贪多。如果在一篇文章中融入太多语言点,这对学生来说掌握起来难度太大,太耗费时间,同时也不利于学生思维品质的培养,与教材本意背道而驰,可能得不偿失。

11、法与技巧若干 在高考阅读题中,考生遇到的最大障碍往往有两个:一是被已认识的单词的某一熟知含义所误导;二是被完全不认识的单词的意思所阻碍,从而出现理解偏差或理解困难,影响阅读的速度。其实解决这两个困难的一个重要法宝是考生在心目中树立起上下文观念,要学会顺藤摸瓜,通过构词,语法,定义,同位,对比,因果,常识,上下文等线索确定词义。在阅读解题时要注意从以下七个方面着手:1)根据定义或解释、说明猜测生词的词义在be,be called,call等判断词出现的判断句中,或定语从句及标点符号,可以根据已知部分,猜测生词的含义。例如: The herdsman, who looks after sheep,
12、 earns about 650 yuan a year.通过理解定语从句的意思,能猜出herdsman是“牧人”。2)根据对比关系猜测生词的词义在but,however,yet,otherwise,though这些表示意义转折的连词出现的句子中,其前后的词有明显对比关系,根据已知的内容,通过这种对比关系,就很容易猜出生词的词义了。例如: Though Toms face has been washed quite clean, his neck still remains grubby. 和clean意思相对的便是“肮脏的”了,因此可猜出句中grubby的意思是“肮脏的”。3)通过因果关系猜
13、测词义because, since与as是连接原因状语从句的从属连词,so是连接表示结果的状语从句的连词,so.that与such.that中的that是连接结果状语从句的。当这些信息词出现在有生词的句子中,通过因果关系,依据已知部分就能猜出生词的词义。例如:She wanted the hairdresser to trim her hair a bit because it was too long. 根据because从句所讲的意思,我们就可推测trim就是“修剪”之意。4) 根据生活常识猜测词义运用逻辑推理能力,自身的生活经验及生活常识。再联系上下文能读懂的部分,可以正确猜出词义。例如
14、:Most of the roses are beginning to wither because of the cold. 根据句子意思及生活经验,wither表示“枯萎”。5)根据同等关系猜测词义同等关系,指的是一个词,一组词或短语在句中作同一成分,而且它们的词义都属于同一范畴。明显的标志是,这样的词组或短语中间常常用并列连词and或or来连接。例如: At forty-two he was in his prime and always full of energy. 从“年龄42岁”以及与prime具有同等关系的full of energy可以猜出prime的意思是“盛年时期”。6)
15、根据列举的事例猜测词义You can take any of the periodicals: “The World of English”. “Foreign Language Teaching in Schools”, or “English Learning”. 从后面列举的例子中,可以猜出periodical是“期刊,杂志”的意思。7)根据构词法知识猜测词义根据学过的构词法知识,知道词根和前缀或后缀的意义,就可猜出由它们组成的新词词义。例如在2006年福建的高考题文章中有这样一句: The schools are reluctant to take off even teachers with tickets for the England-Argentina game had trouble getting the day off.A.kindB.unwillingC. freeD.careless 【解题思路】通过破折号可知正确答案为B.
