三、学生训练务必得法
教师的教学能力最终要转化为学生的学习能力,对高三学生而言,就是要通过 训练转化为学生的答题能力。一是严格限时训练。限时训练就是让学生在规定 时间内做完训练题目,既训练速度,又锻炼准确度。限时训练可短可长,可以 是课前十分钟,可以是一节课,但必须坚决做到即练即评,长期坚持,通过教 师评阅提升学生答题速度和效度,做到日日清,周周清,月月清,适应高考临 场答题要求。二是严格规范答题。要认真研究高考原题和高考答案,根据学生 的答题情况认真进行比对。要把学生在考试时的原生态答卷原汁原味地展示出 来,再让学生自己对照答案进行打分、评价,找出与标准答案的差距,小组内 相互交流、讨论,制定答题标准模板,保证将来一分不丢。三是突出变式训练 。对于临界生的典型错题或遗漏知识点,要进行变式训练,一题多变进行训练 ,把错题作为“母题”,至少进行一题五变以上,让学生写出每道题的解题思路 ,最后总结出此类变式的特点和解题入手点。

I grew up and left home for college and since then, my dad had been calling me every Sunday morning, no matter what. Several years later I bought a house, which my dad painted by himself for three days in the 80-degree summer heat. All he asked was for me to talk to him. But I was always busy, unable to find any time for conversation with him. One Sunday morning we had a telephone talk as usual. I noticed that my dad had forgotten some things we discussed lately. I was in a hurry, so our conversation was short. Later that day came a call saying my father was in hospital.
Possible version 1:
• When I rushed to hospital, I found my dad lying there, weak and hopless. Holding back the tears, I talked to him gently. His face lit up . Only then did I realize the conversation was more than conversation . It was love .I was grateful that my father got over the illness and now it is I who always enjoy starting the coversation.(62字)
