拓展阅读课学情分析
高一是打基础的一年，高一英语是承上启下的一年。

大多数同学都能意识到学好英语非常重要，也很必要，喜欢学习英语，充分认识到学好英语的重要性，学习积极性高，能带着极大的兴趣去学英语。

但基础相对较薄弱的部分同学有不喜欢学习英语甚至有厌恶学习英语的倾向，他们认识不够，认为英语可学不可学，中国人说好汉语就行了，认为学习英语太难，国语都学不好还学英语，认为英语单词难背，比较枯燥。

这就给我们英语教学带来了一些不利影响。

听课是学生获得语言知识和培养语言技能的重要途径，积极配合老师进行听说读写训练，切实提高上课四十五分钟效率具有非常重要的意义。

但是只有少部分同学能集中注意力，认真配合老师，做到各种感官齐用，而将近半数的同学上课有时思想开小差，要走神。

导致学生注意力不集中的原因有：没有明确的学习目的和任务；对所学内容不感兴趣；受学习环境的干扰；过度疲劳和焦虑等。

为此，在平时的教学中，教师除了要提高自身素质，尽力使课上得生动有趣外，还要帮助学生解决这坏习惯，要求他们：明确目标，规定任务。

引导他们确立适当的学习目标，制定详细的学习计划，使每次学习都应有具体的任务，鼓励学生带着问题去学。

另外，还要激发兴趣，强化动机。

认识学习的意义，培养间接兴趣，并可利用兴趣迁移。

鼓励他们有坚强的毅力，对自己的学习负责，积极自信地参与听说读写各项活动。

当然，最需要注意的是引导学生善于发现问题，不懂或不清楚处及时作记号，留待课后及时与老师讨论解决。

此外，还要劳逸结合，心境愉快。

上课时能采取积极的态度，把学习英语看作是一件非常愉快的事情。

科技化、信息化、网络化社会的到来要求学生有很强的英语阅读能力。

《普通高中英语课程标准》对普通高中学生的六级阅读要求是：除教材外课外阅读量应累计达到18万词以上；七级阅读要求是：除教材外，课外阅读量应累计达到23万词以上；而八级阅读要求是：除教材外，达到30万词以上。

为此，定时补充阅读文章，记忆大量单词应成为高一起始年段学生的一种习惯。

多数学生能意识到阅读的重要性，能不定时地补充一些短文和词汇，少数对英语感兴趣的学生还能通过英语报刊杂志或网络进行英语的大量阅读。

从阅读方式来看，多数学生在用不正确的阅读方式阅读短文，如发出声音读，用笔指划着读等。

这有赖于教师要进行正确的阅读技巧的指导。

许多同学已经能做到先根据上下文猜测词义，然后再查词典和记忆，但仍有一部分同学一遇到生词就查词典，把一篇文章支离破碎。

处理词汇的方法不同将直接引起阅读效果的差异。

目前学生在英语学习的各环节中最不注意的是预习和课后的及时巩固复习，另外，听说读写的能力训练也主要是在课内进行，如何由课内延伸到课外也是个问题。

为此，教师要通过对学生的严格要求、不断教育和训练，使学生形成良好的英语学习习惯。

为此，学习的关键在于能寻找科学的学习方法，养成良好的学习习惯，积极有意地去观察、探究各种事物的发展规律，切实提高自主学习的能力和提出问题、分析问题和解决问题的能力。

对遇到的疑难问题多作思考和查证，惟有这样，才能使自己在未来的终身学习社会中立于不败之地。

Book Two Module Two
拓展阅读课效果分析
在学习第一篇文章之前，导入部分让学生在上课前明确这节课的任务，快速进入角色。

读前的回答问题是开放性的，让学生根据文章标题预测一下文中内容，学生的回答无对错之分，学生同桌之间讨论得很积极，这是为有效发展学生的思维和表达能力，采取的课标所提倡的思维训练活动。

同时也让学生对短文内容产生兴趣，激发学生的求知欲，使他们在最短的时间内投入到高效的学习中去。

快读的第一个活动使学生能从整体上理解课文，看看自己的预测是否对，成功的喜悦会增强他们的自信心。

第二个活动是把段落和大意搭配起来。

理解文章的主旨大意和篇章结构是高考阅读理解的重点，具有一定的难度，所以在日常的阅读
教学中要特别重视这一能力的培养与提高。

这一环节的设计目的正是要求学生快速阅读文章，把握段落主旨大意，进一步理解好文章的结构。

尽管多余选项有一定的干扰性，但大部分学生作出了正确的选择。

细读所设计的第一个活动是辨别正误，让学生查读整篇文章，在辨别正误的同时说错误的原因，培养快速获取所需信息的能力。

其中第四题干扰性比较大，不少学生会掉入老师所设的小“陷阱”里。

细读的第二个活动是选择正确答案，分别考查学生对课文细节的理解，对作者写作思路的把握，对整个语篇内容的把握，培养学生的快速阅读的能力和迅速从文章中提取重要信息的能力。

其中第一题的第四个选项部分学生不注意usually这个词，就会选错答案。

读后第一个活动是根据文章内容完成短文题，考察学生对语篇的整体理解和记忆力，练习了高考的新题型，重点是动词的运用。

通过让学生讨论，可以让学生主动思维，多动脑，养成自主学习，合作学习的学习习惯，进而增强学好英语的自信心，学生做得非常好。

读后第二个活动使用文中的单词和短语翻译句子，这些单词词组在课本上也出现过，让学生再次回顾利用这些词汇是加深了学生对知识的掌握，结果经过进一步的学习，学生掌握得很熟练。

导入第三篇文章的学习，是通过两个与世界无烟日有关的问题，以抢答的形式进行，激起学生的兴趣，为阅读做好铺垫。

快读要求学生带着问题快速阅读文章，了解文章主旨大意，为进一步理解好文章打好了基础。

对这两个问题，学生大部分都能快速找到答案。

细读要求学生细致地阅读，更好地从细节上加深对文章的理解，然后对答案做出准确到位的选择。

三个题目的设置巧妙，在文章中并不能直接找到答案，所以部分学生没做对。

猜测词义活动提醒了学生：阅读中碰见生词不能立刻就查字典，要根据上下文猜测词意，这是阅读理解的一个重要能力，要常抓不懈。

读后活动是新题型七选五。

高考新题型七选五主要考查考生对文章的整体内容和结构以及上下文逻辑意义的理解和掌握。

在此主要通过学生的讨论，加深对文章理解的同时，初探该题型的做题技巧；另外，通过让学生讨论，可以让学生主动思维，多动脑，养成自主学习，合作学习的学习习惯，进而增强了学好英语的自信心，从而减少了对新题型的恐惧心理。

两篇文章学习结束时，老师适时总结，和学生一起读出现在白板上的誓言—Keep away from drugs; value our lives! —呼吁学生珍爱生命，远离毒品，养成良好生活习惯，所有的学生都读得很起劲。

课后作业是课堂学习的有效延伸和补充，分别是阅读《快乐阅读》的第二篇文章和上网查询世界无烟日的更多主题。

通过设置这样的作业可以帮助学生进一步了解毒品，进一步
巩固本模块话题相关的词汇;同时可以帮助学生关爱他人，远离毒品，养成良好生活习惯。

最后的板书设计让学生一看黑板就可以一目了然地看清楚本节课中的重难点，给本课画一个比较圆满的句号。

但是通过本节课，可以看出，部分基础较薄弱的学生，阅读速度过慢，对文章的深层理解不到位。

所以，在以后的教学中，老师要加大感情投入，努力激发学生的阅读兴趣，精选各种题裁的课外阅读材料，通过阅读扩大学生的词汇量，并适时对学生的阅读方法加以指导，相信学生一定越来越喜欢英语，喜欢阅读！

本模块的话题是抽烟、吸毒。

本节课的主要学习内容是与此话题有关的高一《快乐阅读》第二期主题阅读的两篇文章—第一篇和第三篇。

第一篇文章由一个瘾君子吸毒后啃吃另外一个人的脸的新闻引出了医生对新型毒品bath salts 危害的介绍。

吸食毒品严重危害人民健康，可以导致精神分裂。

毒瘾发作时如万蚁啃骨，万针刺心，求生不得，求死不能，甚至“吃”别人的脸。

通过安排此篇文章的阅读，旨在在进行读前、快读、细读、读后的活动中，提高学生的阅读能力，尤其是快读和查读能力；同时，帮助学生了解关于吸毒的危害，关爱他人，远离毒品，养成良好生活习惯。

第三篇文章介绍了世界无烟日的来历和具体目标。

小小一支烟，危害万万千。

世界卫生大会专门确立了世界无烟日，希望以此来约束并制止人们抽烟。

学生通过完成所设计的各种读前、读中、读后活动，巩固本模块所学单词词组，进一步提高阅读能力; 此外，帮助学生提高自我保护意识，不吸烟，热情参与社会公益活动，关爱社会，关爱他人。

总之，所选两篇文章，是对教材的有效补充，有助于学生提高阅读能力，进一步了解吸毒、抽烟的危害。

附：高一《快乐阅读》第二期主题阅读
Passage1
A Man Who Ate the Face of a Human
Rudy Eugene, 31, was shot dead in Miami, Florida on May 28, 2012, when he was trying to eat a homeless man’s face. A bicycle rider described the frightening moment he saw: a naked man tore pieces of flesh from another man’s face at the side of a freeway before being shot dead by police when he refused to stop.
Rudy Eugene’s girlfriend didn’t believe it and was quite shocked at the news. She said, “He loved God; he always read the Bible; he would give you knowledge on the Bible. Everywhere he went, his Bible went. When he left, he had his Bible in his hand.” Ruth Charles, Eugene’s mother, was also shocked by the news reports and reached out to the media to try to clear his name. She said that her boy was good-natured, went to church often and had recently given her a Mother’s Day card.
Then what was the reason for Rudy Eugene’s crime? It is believed that Eugene was under the influence of a powerful drug called bath salts at the time.
Emergency room doctors at Jackson Memorial Hospital said they have seen an increase in accidents related to the drug. Dr Adams said, “When people take bath salts, their temperature rises to a quite high level, causing them to take off their clothes and become aggressive. Some have been known to use their jaws as a weapon of attack, and they become extremely strong. I took care of a 150_pound person who you would have thought he was 250 pounds. It took six security officers to keep the person under control.”
Dr Adams said that the new drug is not only a danger to those who take it, but also emergency responders who must retrain the drug-users of it. “It’s dangerous for the police, the fire fighters and the hospital workers taking care of them；they have to be restrained both chemically and physically.”

In fact, tobacco kills more people every year than alcohol, AIDS, car accidents, illegal drugs, murders and suicides combined.

The British Museum (BM) has published their annual (年度的) review celebrating the success of the previous year and looking forward to future activity. The BM was once again the leading visitor attraction in the UK (with 5.575 million visitors). One in four oversea visitors to London and one in ten overseas visitors to the UK now visit the British Museum as part of their trip.
The first part of 2013 has seen a big increase in visitor numbers — visitors in May were 42% up on the previous year and were the highest on record. The BM’s audience is of different kinds and above all young, with 43% of visitors aged between 16-34. 30% of the museum’s audience visit as a family group.
The annual review has seen great progress on the construction of the Museum’s new project the World Conservation(保护) and Exhibitions Centre（WCEC）. The new centre will make the BM more famous as the world leader in the exhibition, conservation, examination and analysis of cultural objects from across the world. The WCEC will enable the museum to store, study and display the collection for the future.
