小升初英语必备的阅读策略
1. 预测策略(Prediction Strategy)
【策略内容】
在开始阅读前或者阅读过程中,同学们可以借助文章的标题、书中的图片、已经学过的知识,还有自己的生活经验,对文章讲了什么内容、故事怎么发展、作者想要表达什么观点等进行合理的猜测。这个策略能让大家更想读文章,带着问题和好奇心去阅读,从而更高效、更深入地理解文章。
预测策略在英语阅读里非常有用。不同的预测线索,像标题、首句、配图、小标题、体裁等,能帮助我们从各个方面对文章进行猜测。在阅读过程中,如果文章内容和我们预测的一样,我们就能更快明白文章意思,对文章的整体理解也会更牢固,还会更有信心去阅读;要是出现了和预测不一样的情节,也没关系,这反而会让我们特别好奇,更想弄清楚作者为什么要这样写,从而更深入地思考文章的含义和作者的想法。这种先预测再阅读验证的过程,改变了以前只是被动接受信息的阅读方式,让我们在阅读时一直积极思考,不仅能提高我们阅读理解的速度和深度,还能锻炼我们分析问题的能力,对我们学好英语阅读有很大的帮助 。
【应用举例】
例 1:从标题预测内容
例如,文章标题是 “My Unforgettable School Trip”。看到这个标题,我们可以预测文章会讲述作者一次难忘的学校旅行。可能会提到旅行去了哪里,在那里做了什么有趣的事,为什么这次旅行让人难忘等。
【阅读语篇】
Last month, our school organized a trip to a science museum. When we arrived, we were greeted by a huge dinosaur skeleton. The guide showed us around and explained many amazing things about space and animals. We even got to try some cool science experiments by ourselves. I will never forget the day I learned so many new things and had so much fun with my classmates.
[策略分析]根据标题预测文章围绕难忘的学校旅行展开,扩展段落中 “trip to a science museum” 点明旅行地点,“saw a huge dinosaur skeleton”“tried science experiments” 等内容描述了旅行中的具体活动,“I will never forget” 强调了旅行的难忘之处,与预测的内容和方向一致。同学们在阅读时,因为之前的预测,会更关注这些体现 “难忘” 的细节,从而更好地理解文章是如何围绕主题进行叙述的,也能学习到如何描述一次活动经历。
例 2:依据首句预测情节
例如,段落首句为 “It was a sunny morning, and Emma found a small, injured bird in her garden.” 从这句话我们可以预测,接下来文章可能会讲 Emma 发现小鸟后做了什么,比如她怎么照顾这只受伤的小鸟,有没有带它去看兽医,最后小鸟的伤势有没有好转等。
【阅读语篇】
Emma felt sorry for the little bird. She carefully picked it up and took it inside. She made a soft bed for the bird using an old box and some cotton. Then, she called her father, who is a vet. Her father came home quickly and examined the bird. After a week of taking good care of the bird, Emma was happy to see it fly away again.
[策略分析]由首句引发的预测,让同学们在阅读扩展段落时,聚焦于 Emma 照顾小鸟的过程。“picked it up”“made a bed”“called her father” 等一系列动作描述,符合预测中照顾小鸟的情节发展。通过这样的阅读,同学们能理解如何按照事情发展的顺序进行写作,同时也能在预测和验证的过程中,提高对文章情节连贯性的把握能力,知道每一个行为都是为了推动故事发展。
例 3:结合配图预测情感
例如,文章配有一张图片,画面中一个男孩站在舞台上,脸上带着紧张又期待的表情,手里拿着小提琴。文章标题是 “A Big Day for Tom”。结合图片和标题,我们可以预测文章会讲述 Tom 重要的一天,可能是他第一次在众人面前拉小提琴表演,在这个过程中他可能会遇到一些小状况,也可能表演很成功,最后表达出他在这一天的感受。
【阅读语篇】
Tom had been practicing the violin for months for this school music show. When his turn came, his hands were shaking a little. But as he started to play, the beautiful music filled the hall. Everyone listened quietly and clapped loudly at the end. Tom felt so proud and happy that he almost cried. It was truly the best day in his life.
[策略分析]从图片和标题做出的预测,使同学们在阅读时关注 Tom 表演的过程和心情变化。“hands were shaking” 体现了他的紧张,对应预测中的小状况;“felt so proud and happy” 表达了他表演后的喜悦,符合预测中表达感受的部分。通过这样的预测和阅读分析,同学们不仅能理解文章内容,还能学会从人物的动作、表情等描写来体会人物的情感,提高对文章情感基调的感知能力。
例 4:利用小标题预测重点
例如,文章有小标题 “Our School's New Library”,前文提到同学们一直希望学校能有更好的阅读地方。由此我们可以预测,这部分内容会介绍新图书馆的样子,有哪些类型的书,同学们在里面可以做什么,新图书馆给大家带来了哪些便利等。
【阅读语篇】
The new library is on the second floor of our school. It has large windows that let in a lot of light. There are rows and rows of bookshelves with different kinds of books, like storybooks, science books, and magazines. We can read books there quietly, borrow books to take home, or even have reading clubs with our friends. Now, it has become the most popular place in our school.
[策略分析]依据小标题和前文背景进行的预测,帮助同学们在阅读时快速抓住关键信息。“on the second floor”“large windows” 描述了图书馆的位置和外观;“different kinds of books” 介绍藏书情况;“read books”“borrow books”“have reading clubs” 说明了同学们能在图书馆进行的活动。通过这样的预测阅读,同学们能学会如何从标题和上下文获取文章重点,提高信息筛选和归纳的能力,更好地理解文章是如何围绕一个主题展开介绍的。
例 5:根据体裁预测表达方式
例如,文章是一首标题为 “My Pet Cat” 的小诗。基于我们对诗歌通常用优美的语言、生动的意象来表达情感的认识,以及标题内容,我们可以预测这首诗会描写小猫的样子、性格,诗人和小猫之间发生的有趣故事,从而表达出对小猫的喜爱之情。
【阅读语篇】
My cat is soft as a cloud,
With eyes that shine like stars so proud.
She chases toys all around the floor,
And purrs loudly by my door.
[策略分析]根据诗歌体裁和标题做出的预测,引导同学们在阅读时关注诗歌中描写小猫特点的意象。“soft as a cloud” 用比喻描写小猫柔软的特点,“eyes that shine like stars” 生动展现小猫眼睛的明亮,“chases toys”“purrs loudly” 描绘小猫的行为。同学们通过品味这些诗句,能更好地理解诗歌是如何用简洁而富有表现力的语言来表达情感的,提升对诗歌这种文学体裁的阅读理解能力和欣赏水平。
2. 略读策略(Skimming Strategy)
【策略内容】
略读策略指的是在阅读英语文章时,以较快的速度浏览全文,重点关注能够揭示文章关键信息的部分,如标题(title)、小标题(subheadings)、每段的首句(first sentence)和尾句(last sentence)、加粗(bold)或斜体(italic)等特殊标注的内容、图表(charts and graphs)及其说明文字等,从而快速获取文章的主旨大意(main idea)、核心观点(key points)、段落结构(paragraph structure),而不过多纠结于具体细节(details)。该策略常用于在短时间内了解文章的整体框架,判断文章是否符合阅读需求,为进一步的深入阅读或答题做准备 。
通过运用略读策略,初中学生面对各类题材和体裁的文章时,都能在短时间内梳理文章脉络,抓住主旨大意和核心观点。这不仅为后续精读文章、解答理解性题目打下基础,还能在日常阅读英语材料(如通知、新闻、推荐文章等)时,快速筛选出有用信息,逐渐培养高效的阅读习惯和信息处理能力,全面提升英语阅读素养。

4. 猜测词义策略(Word-guessing Strategy)
【策略内容】
猜测词义策略是指在英语阅读过程中,当遇到不认识的单词时,通过挖掘上下文语境(context)、剖析构词法(word - building)(包括前缀、后缀、词根)、寻找同义词(synonyms)和反义词(antonyms)、参考【应用举例】说明(examples)等多种线索,推测生词含义的方法。运用该策略,能够避免因生词而中断阅读思路,保证阅读的连贯性,同时帮助学生在实践中扩大词汇量,逐步培养自主解决阅读中词汇障碍的能力,增强阅读的流畅性和自信心。
对于初中学生而言,猜测词义策略是突破阅读障碍的有效工具。在实际阅读中,学生遇到生词是常见现象,如果每次都依赖查字典,不仅会打断阅读节奏,还不利于培养自主阅读能力。
上下文语境是最常用的猜测线索,因为文章中的句子和段落之间存在紧密联系,通过前后文描述的事件、状态、行为等信息,学生能够合理推断生词含义,同时加深对文章整体内容的理解。通过不断练习猜测词义策略,学生在阅读中会更加自信,能够更流畅地理解文章内容,逐步提升英语阅读能力和词汇积累量。
【应用举例】
例 1:利用上下文语境猜测词义
【阅读语篇】
After a long day at school, Lily felt exhausted. She just wanted to lie on the bed and rest.
[策略分析]“exhausted” 为生词,从 “After a long day at school”(在学校度过漫长的一天后)和 “She just wanted to lie on the bed and rest”(她只想躺在床上休息)可以推断出,Lily 在经历长时间学习后非常疲惫,所以 “exhausted” 意思是 “极其疲惫的”。通过上下文描述的状态和行为,学生能够理解生词与整体语境的关联,从而推测出词义。
例 2:借助构词法猜测词义
【阅读语篇】
The unhappy boy sat alone in the corner, not talking to anyone.
[策略分析]“unhappy” 中 “un -” 是常见的否定前缀,表示 “不”,“happy” 是学生熟悉的单词 “开心的”,通过构词法可知 “unhappy” 意为 “不开心的” 。这种方法帮助学生利用已知的词根和词缀知识,快速理解派生词的含义,同时也能让学生在遇到类似构词形式的生词时,尝试自主分析词义。
例 3:依据同义词线索猜测词义
【阅读语篇】
The little girl was frightened, scared to move when she saw the big dog.
[策略分析]“frightened” 是生词,但句中 “scared” 是学生可能熟悉的单词 “害怕的”,且 “frightened” 和 “scared” 并列使用,通过同义词线索可以推测 “frightened” 也是 “害怕的” 意思。在阅读中,当遇到生词与熟悉的同义词处于相似语境或并列结构时,学生可以借助同义词来理解生词含义。
例 4:通过反义词线索猜测词义
【阅读语篇】
This book is thick, not thin at all.
[策略分析]“thick” 为生词,“not thin at all”(一点也不薄)中的 “thin”(薄的)是反义词线索,通过对比可知 “thick” 表示 “厚的” 。反义词线索能让学生在阅读中通过相反的描述来推断生词的含义,加深对词汇的理解和记忆。
例 5:利用【应用举例】说明猜测词义
【阅读语篇】
We saw many marine animals, such as whales, dolphins and sharks in the ocean park.
[策略分析]“marine” 是生词,从 “such as whales, dolphins and sharks in the ocean park”(比如在海洋公园看到的鲸鱼、海豚和鲨鱼)这些【应用举例】可知,这些动物都生活在海洋里,由此推测 “marine” 意思是 “海洋的”。【应用举例】说明为学生提供了具体的实例,帮助他们将生词与实际事物联系起来,从而猜测出生词的含义。
例 6:综合线索猜测词义
【阅读语篇】
The invention of the smartphone revolutionized communication. Now people can easily talk to others far away, share photos and get information in a second.
[策略分析]“revolutionized” 为生词,从 “Now people can easily talk to others far away, share photos and get information in a second”(现在人们可以轻松地与远方的人交谈、分享照片并瞬间获取信息)可知,智能手机带来了巨大的变化;同时 “revolution” 有 “革命” 的意思,“-ize” 作为后缀有 “使…… 化” 的含义,综合上下文语境和构词法线索,可以推测 “revolutionized” 意为 “彻底改变;使发生革命性变化” 。在实际阅读中,学生往往需要综合多种线索来准确猜测生词含义。
5. 分析推理策略(Analysis and Inference Strategy)
【策略内容】
分析推理策略是指在英语阅读过程中,读者依据文章中明确给出的字面信息,如具体描述、人物对话、事件发展等,同时调动自身已有的背景知识(background knowledge)和生活经验(life experiences),对作者隐含的意图(author's intention)、观点态度(viewpoint and attitude)以及文中未直接表述的内容(unstated information)进行深入的分析、推理和判断,从而理解文章深层含义(deep meaning)的阅读方法。该策略能帮助学生超越文字表面,培养逻辑思维能力(logical thinking ability)和批判性阅读能力(critical reading ability),真正实现对文章的深度理解。
对于初中学生来说,分析推理策略是提升英语阅读能力的重要方法。在阅读过程中,文章往往不会将所有信息和意图都直白地表达出来,这就需要学生主动思考,进行分析和推理。
通过结合字面信息与背景知识、生活经验进行推理,学生能够更深入地理解人物形象、情感态度、事件发展和作者意图。这种策略的运用有助于培养学生的逻辑思维能力。在推理过程中,学生需要梳理文章中的线索,找到信息之间的关联,进行合理的推导,这一过程锻炼了他们的思维逻辑性和条理性。同时,分析推理策略还能提升批判性阅读能力,让学生学会质疑、思考作者的观点,而不是仅仅被动接受信息,从而对文章形成自己独特的见解。长期练习分析推理策略,学生在阅读英语文章时会更加敏锐,能够捕捉到文字背后的深层含义,提高阅读的质量和效率,为更高层次的英语学习和文学鉴赏打下坚实的基础。
【应用举例】
例 1:人物品质推理
【阅读语篇】
Tom found a wallet on the school playground. There was a lot of money and a student ID card in it. Without hesitation, he took the wallet to the school office. The teacher praised him, but Tom just said, “It’s the right thing to do.”
[策略分析]文章中直接信息是 Tom 在操场捡到钱包,里面有钱和学生卡,他毫不犹豫地交给学校办公室,面对老师表扬很谦虚。结合学生已有的生活经验,知道捡到他人财物应归还,以及主动归还失物是诚实、正直的表现,由此可以推断出 Tom 是一个诚实(honest)、拾金不昧(not pocket the money one picks up)且品德高尚(of high moral character)的人。同时也能推测出作者通过描述这个事件,意图是赞扬这种良好的道德行为,传递正能量。
例 2:情感态度推理
【阅读语篇】
Lisa looked at the broken vase on the floor. Her eyes filled with tears. She remembered how much her grandmother loved this vase. “I’m so sorry, Grandma,” she whispered.
[策略分析]从 “looked at the broken vase”“eyes filled with tears”“remembered how much her grandmother loved this vase” 这些文字信息可知,Lisa 看到打碎的花瓶后流泪,想起祖母对花瓶的喜爱并道歉。学生根据生活中不小心损坏重要物品会感到难过、愧疚的经验,可以推断出 Lisa 此时内心充满了自责(self - reproach)和懊悔(regret)。也能推测出作者通过描写 Lisa 的神态、语言,想要表达出她对祖母的爱以及因打碎花瓶而产生的复杂情感。
例 3:事件结果推理
【阅读语篇】
It was getting dark, and Jack was still lost in the forest. He had been walking for hours, and there was no sign of the path. His water bottle was almost empty, and he started to feel scared.
[策略分析]文章明确提到天色渐晚,Jack 在森林迷路,走了很久没找到路,水瓶快空且开始害怕。结合学生知道在野外迷路、缺少水源等情况的危险性这一背景知识,可以推理出 Jack 接下来可能会面临更多困难,比如因缺水而身体不适,在黑暗中更容易迷失方向,甚至可能遇到危险的野生动物等。也能推测出作者描述这些情况,是为了营造紧张氛围,暗示故事后续可能会朝着更惊险的方向发展。
例 4:作者意图推理
【阅读语篇】
Nowadays, many students spend too much time on their mobile phones. They play games, watch videos, and forget about their studies. This not only affects their grades but also their health. We should limit our phone use and focus more on learning and exercise.
[策略分析]文中先指出学生过度使用手机的现象,以及带来的影响成绩和健康等问题,最后提出应该限制手机使用,专注学习和锻炼。学生根据日常了解的过度使用电子产品的危害等背景知识,能够推断出作者的意图是呼吁大家正确对待手机使用,合理安排时间,避免沉迷手机,从而拥有更健康、充实的学习生活。
例 5:观点态度推理
【阅读语篇】
Some people think that pets make a lot of mess at home. But I don’t agree. My dog, Max, always waits for me at the door when I come back from school. He follows me around and makes me feel less lonely. Having a pet is like having a best friend.
[策略分析]文章先给出一些人对宠物的看法,再通过作者描述自己的狗 Max 等待自己、陪伴自己,让自己不孤单,把宠物比作最好的朋友这些信息。结合学生对宠物能带来陪伴和快乐的生活认知,可以推断出作者对养宠物持积极(positive)、喜爱(favorable)的态度,与前面提到的负面观点形成对比,突出作者自己的态度。

American people like to use “Thank you” whenever others help them or say something kind to them. People of many other countries do so, too. It is a very good habit. You should say “Thank you” when someone passes you something on the table, when someone walking ahead of you keeps the door for you, when someone says you have done your work well, or you have bought a nice thing. “Thank you” is used not only between friends, but also between parents and children, brothers and sisters, husbands and wives.
“Excuse me” is another short sentence they often use. When you hear someone say so behind you, you know that somebody wants to walk past you.
It’s not good to break in others while they are talking. If you want to speak to one of them, say “Excuse me” first, and then begin talking. You should also do so when you want to cough or make any unpleasant noise before others.

Teachers are needed in western China, so I want to be a teacher there in the future. I will be kind to my students. I will teach them and care about them. I will be friends with them.

Can plants talk? The answer is yes—but the pitch (音调) of their voices is too high for people to hear. A new study has found that plants “shout” when they are not getting enough water.
In this study, some scientists grew three groups of tomato plants. The first group was watered. The second group was not watered. The third group was watered, but their stems (茎) were cut off. The scientists used microphones to record (记录) their sound.
The plants in the first group were quiet. But the plants in the second and third groups made a lot of noise. In fact, a single plant can make about 30 to 50 such sounds per hour.
The scientists found that many other plants also “shouted”. They included strawberry, grape and lemon.
How do plants make these sounds? “It’s not clear yet, ”said Linda, one of the scientists. “But we think that air bubbles(气泡) break in the plant’s vascular system (维管系统). That may have caused the sounds. ” She said, “And we’re also looking at which animals might be listening to these sounds. ”
62.The “shouts” of the plants were too ______ for people to hear. ( )

No one knows why we sleep, but it’s certain that we need to. People who are prevented (阻止) from sleeping begin to suffer obvious (明显的) effects after a few days-they think less clearly, and they fall asleep during the working hours.
There are no rules about sleep. Generally speaking, grown-ups sleep about 7 and a half hours each night and probably more than 60 percent get between seven and eight hours. But perhaps eight percent are quite happy with 5 hours or less, and four percent or so find that they want ten hours or more. If you feel all right, you’re probably getting enough sleep. The important thing is not to worry how much other people get-their needs may be different. Exercise doesn’t seem to increase the need for sleep-office workers, for example, sleep for about as long as people doing physically active work.
Children sleep more than grown-ups-perhaps 14 to 18 hours soon after birth, going down to grown-up levels by early teenage. Sleep patterns also tend (倾向) to be different in the old people, who may sleep less at night than they did when younger, find sleep getting more broken, and often make it a rule to sleep during the daytime.
73.Some people can’t think clearly because ________. ( )
A.they have bad memory B.they feel sleepy during the working hours
C.they don’t have enough sleep D.they may be kept from going to bed
74.Whether you have got enough sleep is judged (判断) by ________. ( )
A.how many hours you have slept B.how many hours you need to sleep
C.if you do exercise and physical work D.if you feel fresh and energetic
75.According to the passage, a boy of 18 years old sleeps ________. ( )
A.as long hours as a grown-up B.much longer hours than a grown-up
C.for 14 hours each night D.for less than 8 hours each night
76.Which of the following is true according to the passage? ( )
A.All grown-ups must have at least eight-hour sleep.
B.Most of grown-ups sleep for seven or eight hours.
C.Quite a few people need 5 hours or less in sleep.
D.No grown-ups sleep more than ten hours.
77.Who may sleep less during the night and have to take a nap during the day? ( )
A.Children B.Grown-ups C.Young people D.Old people

小升初英语必备的阅读策略
1. 预测策略(Prediction Strategy)
【策略内容】
在开始阅读前或者阅读过程中,同学们可以借助文章的标题、书中的图片、已经学过的知识,还有自己的生活经验,对文章讲了什么内容、故事怎么发展、作者想要表达什么观点等进行合理的猜测。这个策略能让大家更想读文章,带着问题和好奇心去阅读,从而更高效、更深入地理解文章。
预测策略在英语阅读里非常有用。不同的预测线索,像标题、首句、配图、小标题、体裁等,能帮助我们从各个方面对文章进行猜测。在阅读过程中,如果文章内容和我们预测的一样,我们就能更快明白文章意思,对文章的整体理解也会更牢固,还会更有信心去阅读;要是出现了和预测不一样的情节,也没关系,这反而会让我们特别好奇,更想弄清楚作者为什么要这样写,从而更深入地思考文章的含义和作者的想法。这种先预测再阅读验证的过程,改变了以前只是被动接受信息的阅读方式,让我们在阅读时一直积极思考,不仅能提高我们阅读理解的速度和深度,还能锻炼我们分析问题的能力,对我们学好英语阅读有很大的帮助 。
【应用举例】
例 1:从标题预测内容
例如,文章标题是 “My Unforgettable School Trip”。看到这个标题,我们可以预测文章会讲述作者一次难忘的学校旅行。可能会提到旅行去了哪里,在那里做了什么有趣的事,为什么这次旅行让人难忘等。
【阅读语篇】
Last month, our school organized a trip to a science museum. When we arrived, we were greeted by a huge dinosaur skeleton. The guide showed us around and explained many amazing things about space and animals. We even got to try some cool science experiments by ourselves. I will never forget the day I learned so many new things and had so much fun with my classmates.
[策略分析]根据标题预测文章围绕难忘的学校旅行展开,扩展段落中 “trip to a science museum” 点明旅行地点,“saw a huge dinosaur skeleton”“tried science experiments” 等内容描述了旅行中的具体活动,“I will never forget” 强调了旅行的难忘之处,与预测的内容和方向一致。同学们在阅读时,因为之前的预测,会更关注这些体现 “难忘” 的细节,从而更好地理解文章是如何围绕主题进行叙述的,也能学习到如何描述一次活动经历。
例 2:依据首句预测情节
例如,段落首句为 “It was a sunny morning, and Emma found a small, injured bird in her garden.” 从这句话我们可以预测,接下来文章可能会讲 Emma 发现小鸟后做了什么,比如她怎么照顾这只受伤的小鸟,有没有带它去看兽医,最后小鸟的伤势有没有好转等。
【阅读语篇】
Emma felt sorry for the little bird. She carefully picked it up and took it inside. She made a soft bed for the bird using an old box and some cotton. Then, she called her father, who is a vet. Her father came home quickly and examined the bird. After a week of taking good care of the bird, Emma was happy to see it fly away again.
[策略分析]由首句引发的预测,让同学们在阅读扩展段落时,聚焦于 Emma 照顾小鸟的过程。“picked it up”“made a bed”“called her father” 等一系列动作描述,符合预测中照顾小鸟的情节发展。通过这样的阅读,同学们能理解如何按照事情发展的顺序进行写作,同时也能在预测和验证的过程中,提高对文章情节连贯性的把握能力,知道每一个行为都是为了推动故事发展。
例 3:结合配图预测情感
例如,文章配有一张图片,画面中一个男孩站在舞台上,脸上带着紧张又期待的表情,手里拿着小提琴。文章标题是 “A Big Day for Tom”。结合图片和标题,我们可以预测文章会讲述 Tom 重要的一天,可能是他第一次在众人面前拉小提琴表演,在这个过程中他可能会遇到一些小状况,也可能表演很成功,最后表达出他在这一天的感受。
【阅读语篇】
Tom had been practicing the violin for months for this school music show. When his turn came, his hands were shaking a little. But as he started to play, the beautiful music filled the hall. Everyone listened quietly and clapped loudly at the end. Tom felt so proud and happy that he almost cried. It was truly the best day in his life.
[策略分析]从图片和标题做出的预测,使同学们在阅读时关注 Tom 表演的过程和心情变化。“hands were shaking” 体现了他的紧张,对应预测中的小状况;“felt so proud and happy” 表达了他表演后的喜悦,符合预测中表达感受的部分。通过这样的预测和阅读分析,同学们不仅能理解文章内容,还能学会从人物的动作、表情等描写来体会人物的情感,提高对文章情感基调的感知能力。
例 4:利用小标题预测重点
例如,文章有小标题 “Our School's New Library”,前文提到同学们一直希望学校能有更好的阅读地方。由此我们可以预测,这部分内容会介绍新图书馆的样子,有哪些类型的书,同学们在里面可以做什么,新图书馆给大家带来了哪些便利等。
【阅读语篇】
The new library is on the second floor of our school. It has large windows that let in a lot of light. There are rows and rows of bookshelves with different kinds of books, like storybooks, science books, and magazines. We can read books there quietly, borrow books to take home, or even have reading clubs with our friends. Now, it has become the most popular place in our school.
[策略分析]依据小标题和前文背景进行的预测,帮助同学们在阅读时快速抓住关键信息。“on the second floor”“large windows” 描述了图书馆的位置和外观;“different kinds of books” 介绍藏书情况;“read books”“borrow books”“have reading clubs” 说明了同学们能在图书馆进行的活动。通过这样的预测阅读,同学们能学会如何从标题和上下文获取文章重点,提高信息筛选和归纳的能力,更好地理解文章是如何围绕一个主题展开介绍的。
例 5:根据体裁预测表达方式
例如,文章是一首标题为 “My Pet Cat” 的小诗。基于我们对诗歌通常用优美的语言、生动的意象来表达情感的认识,以及标题内容,我们可以预测这首诗会描写小猫的样子、性格,诗人和小猫之间发生的有趣故事,从而表达出对小猫的喜爱之情。
【阅读语篇】
My cat is soft as a cloud,
With eyes that shine like stars so proud.
She chases toys all around the floor,
And purrs loudly by my door.
[策略分析]根据诗歌体裁和标题做出的预测,引导同学们在阅读时关注诗歌中描写小猫特点的意象。“soft as a cloud” 用比喻描写小猫柔软的特点,“eyes that shine like stars” 生动展现小猫眼睛的明亮,“chases toys”“purrs loudly” 描绘小猫的行为。同学们通过品味这些诗句,能更好地理解诗歌是如何用简洁而富有表现力的语言来表达情感的,提升对诗歌这种文学体裁的阅读理解能力和欣赏水平。
2. 略读策略(Skimming Strategy)
【策略内容】
略读策略指的是在阅读英语文章时,以较快的速度浏览全文,重点关注能够揭示文章关键信息的部分,如标题(title)、小标题(subheadings)、每段的首句(first sentence)和尾句(last sentence)、加粗(bold)或斜体(italic)等特殊标注的内容、图表(charts and graphs)及其说明文字等,从而快速获取文章的主旨大意(main idea)、核心观点(key points)、段落结构(paragraph structure),而不过多纠结于具体细节(details)。该策略常用于在短时间内了解文章的整体框架,判断文章是否符合阅读需求,为进一步的深入阅读或答题做准备 。
通过运用略读策略,初中学生面对各类题材和体裁的文章时,都能在短时间内梳理文章脉络,抓住主旨大意和核心观点。这不仅为后续精读文章、解答理解性题目打下基础,还能在日常阅读英语材料(如通知、新闻、推荐文章等)时,快速筛选出有用信息,逐渐培养高效的阅读习惯和信息处理能力,全面提升英语阅读素养。
【应用举例】
例1:校园生活文章略读
文章标题:My Colorful School Life
略读过程:
标题暗示文章将讲述丰富多彩的校园生活。
第一段首句 “Every day at school is full of surprises and fun for me.” 点明校园生活充满惊喜与乐趣。
第二段首句 “In the morning, I enjoy having different classes with my lovely teachers and classmates.” 尾句 “We learn new knowledge and discuss interesting topics together.” 可知该段围绕课堂学习展开。
第三段首句 “After class, there are many activities waiting for us.” 尾句 “These activities make my school life more colorful and meaningful.” 说明此段介绍课后活动。
文章结尾句 “I love my school life and cherish every moment here.” 表达对校园生活的喜爱之情。
略读结果:快速了解文章从课堂学习和课后活动两方面,展现了作者丰富多彩的校园生活及热爱之情。
例 2:健康知识文章略读
文章包含三个小标题:Why Exercise is Important、Good Eating Habits、Get Enough Sleep

4. 猜测词义策略(Word-guessing Strategy)
【策略内容】
猜测词义策略是指在英语阅读过程中,当遇到不认识的单词时,通过挖掘上下文语境(context)、剖析构词法(word - building)(包括前缀、后缀、词根)、寻找同义词(synonyms)和反义词(antonyms)、参考【应用举例】说明(examples)等多种线索,推测生词含义的方法。运用该策略,能够避免因生词而中断阅读思路,保证阅读的连贯性,同时帮助学生在实践中扩大词汇量,逐步培养自主解决阅读中词汇障碍的能力,增强阅读的流畅性和自信心。
对于初中学生而言,猜测词义策略是突破阅读障碍的有效工具。在实际阅读中,学生遇到生词是常见现象,如果每次都依赖查字典,不仅会打断阅读节奏,还不利于培养自主阅读能力。
上下文语境是最常用的猜测线索,因为文章中的句子和段落之间存在紧密联系,通过前后文描述的事件、状态、行为等信息,学生能够合理推断生词含义,同时加深对文章整体内容的理解。通过不断练习猜测词义策略,学生在阅读中会更加自信,能够更流畅地理解文章内容,逐步提升英语阅读能力和词汇积累量。
【应用举例】
例 1:利用上下文语境猜测词义
【阅读语篇】
After a long day at school, Lily felt exhausted. She just wanted to lie on the bed and rest.
[策略分析]“exhausted” 为生词,从 “After a long day at school”(在学校度过漫长的一天后)和 “She just wanted to lie on the bed and rest”(她只想躺在床上休息)可以推断出,Lily 在经历长时间学习后非常疲惫,所以 “exhausted” 意思是 “极其疲惫的”。通过上下文描述的状态和行为,学生能够理解生词与整体语境的关联,从而推测出词义。
例 2:借助构词法猜测词义
【阅读语篇】
The unhappy boy sat alone in the corner, not talking to anyone.
[策略分析]“unhappy” 中 “un -” 是常见的否定前缀,表示 “不”,“happy” 是学生熟悉的单词 “开心的”,通过构词法可知 “unhappy” 意为 “不开心的” 。这种方法帮助学生利用已知的词根和词缀知识,快速理解派生词的含义,同时也能让学生在遇到类似构词形式的生词时,尝试自主分析词义。
例 3:依据同义词线索猜测词义
【阅读语篇】
The little girl was frightened, scared to move when she saw the big dog.
[策略分析]“frightened” 是生词,但句中 “scared” 是学生可能熟悉的单词 “害怕的”,且 “frightened” 和 “scared” 并列使用,通过同义词线索可以推测 “frightened” 也是 “害怕的” 意思。在阅读中,当遇到生词与熟悉的同义词处于相似语境或并列结构时,学生可以借助同义词来理解生词含义。
例 4:通过反义词线索猜测词义
【阅读语篇】
This book is thick, not thin at all.
[策略分析]“thick” 为生词,“not thin at all”(一点也不薄)中的 “thin”(薄的)是反义词线索,通过对比可知 “thick” 表示 “厚的” 。反义词线索能让学生在阅读中通过相反的描述来推断生词的含义,加深对词汇的理解和记忆。
例 5:利用【应用举例】说明猜测词义
【阅读语篇】
We saw many marine animals, such as whales, dolphins and sharks in the ocean park.
[策略分析]“marine” 是生词,从 “such as whales, dolphins and sharks in the ocean park”(比如在海洋公园看到的鲸鱼、海豚和鲨鱼)这些【应用举例】可知,这些动物都生活在海洋里,由此推测 “marine” 意思是 “海洋的”。【应用举例】说明为学生提供了具体的实例,帮助他们将生词与实际事物联系起来,从而猜测出生词的含义。
例 6:综合线索猜测词义
【阅读语篇】
The invention of the smartphone revolutionized communication. Now people can easily talk to others far away, share photos and get information in a second.
[策略分析]“revolutionized” 为生词,从 “Now people can easily talk to others far away, share photos and get information in a second”(现在人们可以轻松地与远方的人交谈、分享照片并瞬间获取信息)可知,智能手机带来了巨大的变化;同时 “revolution” 有 “革命” 的意思,“-ize” 作为后缀有 “使…… 化” 的含义,综合上下文语境和构词法线索,可以推测 “revolutionized” 意为 “彻底改变;使发生革命性变化” 。在实际阅读中,学生往往需要综合多种线索来准确猜测生词含义。
5. 分析推理策略(Analysis and Inference Strategy)
【策略内容】
分析推理策略是指在英语阅读过程中,读者依据文章中明确给出的字面信息,如具体描述、人物对话、事件发展等,同时调动自身已有的背景知识(background knowledge)和生活经验(life experiences),对作者隐含的意图(author's intention)、观点态度(viewpoint and attitude)以及文中未直接表述的内容(unstated information)进行深入的分析、推理和判断,从而理解文章深层含义(deep meaning)的阅读方法。该策略能帮助学生超越文字表面,培养逻辑思维能力(logical thinking ability)和批判性阅读能力(critical reading ability),真正实现对文章的深度理解。
对于初中学生来说,分析推理策略是提升英语阅读能力的重要方法。在阅读过程中,文章往往不会将所有信息和意图都直白地表达出来,这就需要学生主动思考,进行分析和推理。
通过结合字面信息与背景知识、生活经验进行推理,学生能够更深入地理解人物形象、情感态度、事件发展和作者意图。这种策略的运用有助于培养学生的逻辑思维能力。在推理过程中,学生需要梳理文章中的线索,找到信息之间的关联,进行合理的推导,这一过程锻炼了他们的思维逻辑性和条理性。同时,分析推理策略还能提升批判性阅读能力,让学生学会质疑、思考作者的观点,而不是仅仅被动接受信息,从而对文章形成自己独特的见解。长期练习分析推理策略,学生在阅读英语文章时会更加敏锐,能够捕捉到文字背后的深层含义,提高阅读的质量和效率,为更高层次的英语学习和文学鉴赏打下坚实的基础。
【应用举例】
例 1:人物品质推理
【阅读语篇】
Tom found a wallet on the school playground. There was a lot of money and a student ID card in it. Without hesitation, he took the wallet to the school office. The teacher praised him, but Tom just said, “It’s the right thing to do.”
[策略分析]文章中直接信息是 Tom 在操场捡到钱包,里面有钱和学生卡,他毫不犹豫地交给学校办公室,面对老师表扬很谦虚。结合学生已有的生活经验,知道捡到他人财物应归还,以及主动归还失物是诚实、正直的表现,由此可以推断出 Tom 是一个诚实(honest)、拾金不昧(not pocket the money one picks up)且品德高尚(of high moral character)的人。同时也能推测出作者通过描述这个事件,意图是赞扬这种良好的道德行为,传递正能量。
例 2:情感态度推理
【阅读语篇】
Lisa looked at the broken vase on the floor. Her eyes filled with tears. She remembered how much her grandmother loved this vase. “I’m so sorry, Grandma,” she whispered.
[策略分析]从 “looked at the broken vase”“eyes filled with tears”“remembered how much her grandmother loved this vase” 这些文字信息可知,Lisa 看到打碎的花瓶后流泪,想起祖母对花瓶的喜爱并道歉。学生根据生活中不小心损坏重要物品会感到难过、愧疚的经验,可以推断出 Lisa 此时内心充满了自责(self - reproach)和懊悔(regret)。也能推测出作者通过描写 Lisa 的神态、语言,想要表达出她对祖母的爱以及因打碎花瓶而产生的复杂情感。
例 3:事件结果推理
【阅读语篇】
It was getting dark, and Jack was still lost in the forest. He had been walking for hours, and there was no sign of the path. His water bottle was almost empty, and he started to feel scared.
[策略分析]文章明确提到天色渐晚,Jack 在森林迷路,走了很久没找到路,水瓶快空且开始害怕。结合学生知道在野外迷路、缺少水源等情况的危险性这一背景知识,可以推理出 Jack 接下来可能会面临更多困难,比如因缺水而身体不适,在黑暗中更容易迷失方向,甚至可能遇到危险的野生动物等。也能推测出作者描述这些情况,是为了营造紧张氛围,暗示故事后续可能会朝着更惊险的方向发展。
例 4:作者意图推理
【阅读语篇】
Nowadays, many students spend too much time on their mobile phones. They play games, watch videos, and forget about their studies. This not only affects their grades but also their health. We should limit our phone use and focus more on learning and exercise.
[策略分析]文中先指出学生过度使用手机的现象,以及带来的影响成绩和健康等问题,最后提出应该限制手机使用,专注学习和锻炼。学生根据日常了解的过度使用电子产品的危害等背景知识,能够推断出作者的意图是呼吁大家正确对待手机使用,合理安排时间,避免沉迷手机,从而拥有更健康、充实的学习生活。
例 5:观点态度推理
【阅读语篇】
Some people think that pets make a lot of mess at home. But I don’t agree. My dog, Max, always waits for me at the door when I come back from school. He follows me around and makes me feel less lonely. Having a pet is like having a best friend.
[策略分析]文章先给出一些人对宠物的看法,再通过作者描述自己的狗 Max 等待自己、陪伴自己,让自己不孤单,把宠物比作最好的朋友这些信息。结合学生对宠物能带来陪伴和快乐的生活认知,可以推断出作者对养宠物持积极(positive)、喜爱(favorable)的态度,与前面提到的负面观点形成对比,突出作者自己的态度。

American people like to use “Thank you” whenever others help them or say something kind to them. People of many other countries do so, too. It is a very good habit. You should say “Thank you” when someone passes you something on the table, when someone walking ahead of you keeps the door for you, when someone says you have done your work well, or you have bought a nice thing. “Thank you” is used not only between friends, but also between parents and children, brothers and sisters, husbands and wives.
“Excuse me” is another short sentence they often use. When you hear someone say so behind you, you know that somebody wants to walk past you.

Each morning a rich man found a poor man sitting on a park bench (长凳). The poor man always sat there, looking at the big hotel in which the rich man lived. One day, the rich man got out of his car and said to the poor man, “Excuse me, but I just want to know why you sit here and look at my hotel every morning.” “Sir,” said the poor man, “I am a failure (失败者).

Some day, you may go to the Moon. A tall rocket (火箭)will take you into space. The rocket flies a long way to a space station. You will stop there for a short time. Then a big spaceship will take you to the Moon.
About three days later, the ship will go down slowly and land on the Moon. You will be on the Moon, but you won’t leave your spaceship. You must put on a space suit on the Moon. It is very hot in the day and very cold at night. If you don’t wear the space suit, you can’t live there. You will jump out of the spaceship and begin to walk. The Moon is much smaller than the Earth. The things on the Moon are much lighter than (比……轻) those on the Earth. You will jump high in the air every time you take a step.
The Moon moves slowly, so one day on the Moon is as long as two weeks on the Earth and one night is just as long as two weeks on the Earth. It never rains on the Moon, and everything on the Moon is dry. There are no trees or other living things of any kind. There is nothing to do there. The Earth is a better place to live on, but scientists are trying to make the best use of the Moon.

It is well-known that everyone has his or her own dream. Someone wants to be a bus driver, someone wants to be a film star, someone wants to be a pianist ... These kinds of dreams are very important. They can make people work hard.
I had a dream when I was a child of six. I wanted to be a fireman. I thought the firemen in the films were brave and strong. They helped people put out the fire and saved their lives when they were in danger.
Now I’m 15 years old. I like all my subjects and do well in all of them at school. Our teacher tells us about some children in western China. They want to go to school but they can’t. Their families are poor. I think that going to school is the only way to change their lives.
Teachers are needed in western China, so I want to be a teacher there in the future. I will be kind to my students. I will teach them and care about them. I will be friends with them.
I know it is not easy to make my dream come true. To be a good teacher needs a lot of knowledge. I will study hard and try my best.

Can plants talk? The answer is yes—but the pitch (音调) of their voices is too high for people to hear. A new study has found that plants “shout” when they are not getting enough water.
In this study, some scientists grew three groups of tomato plants. The first group was watered. The second group was not watered. The third group was watered, but their stems (茎) were cut off. The scientists used microphones to record (记录) their sound.
The plants in the first group were quiet. But the plants in the second and third groups made a lot of noise. In fact, a single plant can make about 30 to 50 such sounds per hour.
The scientists found that many other plants also “shouted”. They included strawberry, grape and lemon.
How do plants make these sounds? “It’s not clear yet, ”said Linda, one of the scientists. “But we think that air bubbles(气泡) break in the plant’s vascular system (维管系统). That may have caused the sounds. ” She said, “And we’re also looking at which animals might be listening to these sounds. ”

No one knows why we sleep, but it’s certain that we need to. People who are prevented (阻止) from sleeping begin to suffer obvious (明显的) effects after a few days-they think less clearly, and they fall asleep during the working hours.
There are no rules about sleep. Generally speaking, grown-ups sleep about 7 and a half hours each night and probably more than 60 percent get between seven and eight hours. But perhaps eight percent are quite happy with 5 hours or less, and four percent or so find that they want ten hours or more. If you feel all right, you’re probably getting enough sleep. The important thing is not to worry how much other people get-their needs may be different. Exercise doesn’t seem to increase the need for sleep-office workers, for example, sleep for about as long as people doing physically active work.
Children sleep more than grown-ups-perhaps 14 to 18 hours soon after birth, going down to grown-up levels by early teenage. Sleep patterns also tend (倾向) to be different in the old people, who may sleep less at night than they did when younger, find sleep getting more broken, and often make it a rule to sleep during the daytime.
73.Some people can’t think clearly because ________. ( )
A.they have bad memory B.they feel sleepy during the working hours
C.they don’t have enough sleep D.they may be kept from going to bed
74.Whether you have got enough sleep is judged (判断) by ________. ( )
A.how many hours you have slept B.how many hours you need to sleep
C.if you do exercise and physical work D.if you feel fresh and energetic
75.According to the passage, a boy of 18 years old sleeps ________. ( )
A.as long hours as a grown-up B.much longer hours than a grown-up
C.for 14 hours each night D.for less than 8 hours each night
76.Which of the following is true according to the passage? ( )
A.All grown-ups must have at least eight-hour sleep.
B.Most of grown-ups sleep for seven or eight hours.
C.Quite a few people need 5 hours or less in sleep.
D.No grown-ups sleep more than ten hours.
77.Who may sleep less during the night and have to take a nap during the day? ( )
A.Children B.Grown-ups C.Young people D.Old people
