第四篇：

If we were asked exactly what we were doing a year ago，we should probably have to say that we could not remember But if we had kept a book and had written in it an account of what we did each day，we should be able to give an answer to the question.

It is the same in history Many things have been forgotten becau we do not have any written account of them Sometimes men did keep a record of the most important happenings in their country，but often it was destroyed by fire or in a war.Sometimes there was never any written record at all becau the people of that time and place did not know how to Write.For example，we know a good deal about the people who lived in China 4，000 years ago, becau they could write and leave written records for tho who lived after them.But we know almost nothing about the people who lived even 200 years ago in central Africa. becau they had not learned to write. Sometimes.of cour，even if the people cannot write，they may know something of the past.They have heard about it from older people，and often songs and dances and stories have been made about the most important happenings，and the have been sung and acted and told for many generations For most people are proud to tell what their fathers did in the past.This we may call remembered history’.Some of it has now been written down. It is not so exact or so valuable to us as written history is，becau words are much more easily changed when ud again and again in speech than when copied in writing.But where there are no written records，such spoken stories are often very helpful.

拓展：高中英语阅读能力提高方式

一、阅读方面的问题

1.阅读语法上的问题。现在的英语阅读材料，其语法的结构复杂，运用了大量的复杂语句，其语言表达的变化过大，隐含的信息分布较广。即使认识每一个单词，但是在整个语篇的理解上不能够做到准确到位。

2.阅读词汇上的问题。在英语阅读材料中，对大量的生词，也考虑到因人而异，有的学生词汇掌握较多，烦恼也相对较少。但是词汇积累较少的学生，容易忘掉学过的词汇或者是对于其意义记不太清楚，也有可能和同形词发生混淆，导致阅读压力增大。

3.阅读语篇上的问题。

1)对于整篇文章的归纳不强。

2)在英语阅读文章中，经常会运用到比喻、借代等手法，导致文章意思不够明确，学生难以理解文章的整体意思。

3)对部分涉及到其他学科知识的文章，导致对此类文章的理解就更难了。

4.阅读心理上的问题。曾经拜访的心理学者告诉我，当人在阅读的时候，如果紧张、焦急，很容易产生恐惧或者抗拒心理， 使得阅读能力不能发挥正常的水平。

5.阅读技能上问题。

1)不良的阅读习惯主要表现在逐词阅读、口读以及用笔或者手指指着读，缺少了解文章意群的观念， 直接用视觉接受文章文字信息。

2)缺乏阅读技巧，主要包括语法分析、句子的逻辑、承接语以及判断文章大意等。

二、提高阅读能力的策略

1.加强英语词汇与惯用手法的`积累

高中学生英语阅读能力的高低是与掌握词汇量的多少密不可分的，从目前笔者对学生的了解、观察来看，大多数学生掌握的词汇量相对较少，这也是影响学生阅读能力的主要因素之一。

1)构词记忆法英语的词汇大约有120 万左右，但是多数都是由构词法来组成的。构词法中包含了派生、合成以及转化。在教学中，学生一般使用的是前缀和后缀的含义用法， 此法能够依据已经了解的词汇来猜出相应的派生词， 也能够达到扩充词汇的目的。例如，super 这一前缀包含了“超过、超越”的意思，就可以联系猜出：超级市场：supermarket; 超人：superman; 超级明星：superstar。

2)联想记忆法联想法就是由一个词联想到一些与之相关联或者无关联的词汇， 例如：live 生活，就能够联想到直播、活、享受人生等词义。

3)广泛阅读记忆法想要让自己的阅读能够流利，就需要大量的阅读来丰富自身词汇量。曾经有一句名言就指出了阅读与词汇量之间的关系“To readwell, you need a strong vocabulary. To build astrong vocabulary, you need to read well.”

2.牢固掌握语法知识最近几年来，在高考的听力阅读中，对阅读理解短文的句式正逐渐走向复杂，掌握牢固的语法相关知识的好处也就随之体现出来了。比如在阅读理解中遇到难以理解的长句，就可以运用语法手段，进行分析，弄清楚各部分的关系，才能够正确的掌握整个句子的意思， 才能最终掌握整篇文章的意思。

3.培养学生良好的阅读习惯，掌握有效的阅读技巧良好的英语阅读习惯， 要求学生在平时的学习中多读、多背名作和写作精彩的段落，以增强自身语感。要让学生改正其不声读、不回读等不良习惯。只有这样，才能进行有效的阅读并提高其准确率。

有了良好的阅读习惯， 还需要正确的阅读技巧的辅助。作为英语教师，应当教授学生一切相关英语阅读提高的正确的思维方法。一般应注意以下几点：

1)Skimming—粗略的阅读。粗略的阅读即快速的浏览、阅读全文，掌握文章的主要意思，明确全文的意***。

2)Skipping—跳跃的阅读。阅读时， 做到一目十行，在全文中找到相关信息，无关联的尽量一带而过。

3)Guessing the new words—猜测生词。在高中的英语阅读中，经常会遇到生词，在不同的文章、语境中，单词所表示的意思都会不一样。这就需要学生根据上下文的意思以及构词法来猜测其意思。

三、注重合理的评价与课外阅读

1.合理的评价。作为高中英语教师，在适当的时间选取合理的评价，让学生体会到成功的喜悦，也能够大大的激发他们对英语学习的兴趣。试想一下，当学生能够经常取得成功，对英语阅读的恐惧心理也能够越来越轻，自信心也能够越来越强，学习热情也能水涨船高。经过长时间的影响，学生的自主学习能力也能够得到进一步的提高，阅读能力也随之提高，学生的词汇、语法、语篇等障碍也能够得到全面的清除。

2.课外补充阅读在课余时间，除了教材以外，应扩充学生的课外英语阅读量。一般来说，课外阅读量应保持在平时教材的两倍左右。最好是选择一些叙事、幽默、人物类型的文章，才能有效的调动学生的阅读兴趣，也能让学生更好的融入英语阅读当中。

总之， 目前高考听力中的阅读量以及阅读理解的量越来越大。在阅读教学中，除了掌握英语阅读技巧以外，还要坚持一定的限时阅读训练，以提高阅读和理解的速度。
