2025-2026学年上学期八年级英语知识点梳理与巩固(译林版2024)
Unit 3 To be a good learner主题阅读
必备知识清单
单元主题阅读
一、阅读主题
Unit 3的主题为学会学习(成为一个优秀的学习者)。成为优秀学习者意味着学生要掌握有效的学习方法,懂得如何管理学习时间,培养自主学习能力以及学会从不同渠道获取知识等。例如,在英语学习里,学生可以通过制定每日的单词背诵计划来管理学习时间,像每天背诵10个新单词,并定期复习;利用在线英语学习网站如“英语趣配音”来提高口语能力,这就是从不同渠道获取知识的体现。同时,优秀学习者还需善于反思学习过程,总结经验教训,不断调整学习策略以适应不同的学习任务和场景。
(一)主题内涵
1.学习方法的掌握:包括如何记笔记、总结归纳知识点、利用思维导图梳理知识体系等。如在学习英语语法时,学生可以通过制作表格对比一般现在时、一般过去时和一般将来时的结构、用法及时间标志词,这能让复杂的语法知识一目了然,便于理解和记忆。
2.学习习惯的养成:养成良好的预习、复习习惯以及按时完成作业、积极参与课堂讨论等习惯。比如每天预习明天要学习的英语课文,标记出不懂的地方,这样在课堂上就能更有针对性地听讲;课后及时复习当天所学内容,背诵单词和课文,巩固知识。
3.自主学习能力的培养:学会自我管理学习,设定学习目标并能自主安排学习进度。以英语阅读为例,学生可以给自己设定每周阅读一本英语简易读物的目标,然后根据读物的篇幅和自身时间情况,合理安排每天的阅读量,逐步提升阅读能力。
(二)素养体现
1.语言能力素养:通过阅读学习,学生能够提高阅读理解能力,准确理解文本中的词汇、语法和句子含义,并且能够运用所学语言知识进行口头和书面表达。例如,阅读关于友谊的文章后,学生能够用英语描述自己朋友的特点,以及阐述自己的交友观,如“My best friend is more outgoing than me. She likes to tell jokes and always makes me laugh. I think a good friend should be kind and helpful.”
2.思维品质素养:在阅读过程中,学生需要分析文本结构、理解作者意图、进行推理判断等,这有助于培养逻辑思维、批判性思维和创造性思维。比如在阅读一篇议论文时,学生要分析作者的论点、论据和论证过程,判断作者观点的合理性,并能提出自己的看法,“The author argues that friends should be the same. However, I think friends can be different. Different friends can bring different experiences and make our lives more colorful.”
3.文化意识素养:接触不同题材的阅读材料,学生能够了解到不同国家的文化习俗、价值观念等,拓宽文化视野,增强文化理解和包容。如阅读关于国外节日的文章,学生可以了解到西方圣诞节、感恩节等节日的由来、庆祝方式以及背后蕴含的文化意义,从而加深对不同文化的认识。
(三)策略要求
1.阅读策略:运用略读(skimming)快速获取文章大意,扫读(scanning)定位关键信息,精读(close reading)深入理解文章细节。例如在阅读一篇介绍动物的文章时,先通过略读了解文章主要介绍了哪种动物及其大致特点;再用扫读找到关于动物生活习性、栖息地等关键信息;最后通过精读分析作者对动物的描写手法、情感态度等细节内容。
2.记忆策略:采用联想记忆、词根词缀记忆、语境记忆等方法来记忆单词和语法知识。如记忆“communication”(交流)这个单词时,可以联想到“communicate”(动词,交流),通过分析“-ion”这个名词后缀来帮助记忆;或者在句子“She has good communication skills.(她有良好的沟通技巧。)”这样的语境中记忆该单词,会更加深刻。
3.合作学习策略:与同学组成学习小组,共同讨论阅读中遇到的问题,分享学习心得和学习资源。在小组合作学习英语课文时,学生们可以分工查找资料,对课文中的难点进行讨论,互相交流对文章的理解,这不仅能提高学习效率,还能培养团队合作精神。
(四)文化品质
1.尊重不同文化:在阅读涉及不同国家文化的文章时,学生能够理解并尊重文化差异,避免文化偏见。例如,了解到西方国家在人际交往中较为注重个人空间,与东方文化中人们之间较为亲密的相处方式不同,学生能够尊重这种差异,并且在跨文化交流中表现出理解和包容。
2.培养学习的热情和毅力:通过阅读有趣的英语材料,激发学生对英语学习的热爱,在面对学习困难时保持坚持不懈的精神。当学生阅读到精彩的英语故事、科普文章等,会被内容所吸引,从而对英语学习产生更浓厚的兴趣;在学习英语过程中遇到生词多、语法难等问题时,凭借对英语阅读的热情,坚持克服困难,不断提升自己的学习能力。
3.树立全球视野:通过广泛阅读,学生能够了解世界各国的发展动态、社会现象等,培养全球意识,认识到自己作为世界公民的责任。例如,阅读关于环境保护的国际新闻报道,学生能够了解到全球环境问题的严峻性,意识到自己可以为保护环境贡献一份力量,从而树立起全球视野和责任感。

三、阅读策略
(一)预测
在阅读文章前,引导学生通过文章标题、副标题、图片、图表以及段落的首句和尾句等信息对文章内容进行预测。例如,在阅读一篇标题为“Friends: The Same or Different?”的文章时,学生可以根据标题预测文章可能会讨论朋友之间是相同点重要还是不同点重要,可能会列举一些相同类型朋友和不同类型朋友的例子以及他们对友谊的影响等。通过预测,学生能够激发阅读兴趣,带着问题去阅读,提高阅读的主动性和目的性。同时,在阅读过程中,学生可以验证自己的预测是否正确,进一步加深对文章的理解。
(二)略读
让学生快速浏览文章,重点关注文章的标题、首尾段、每段的主题句(通常在段落开头),了解文章的主旨大意和整体结构。比如在阅读一篇关于学习方法的文章时,学生通过略读发现首段提出了“不同的学习方法对学习效果有重要影响”这一观点,尾段总结了“找到适合自己的学习方法才能提高学习效率”,中间段落分别介绍了几种常见的学习方法及其优势。通过略读,学生能在短时间内把握文章的核心内容,为后续的精读和细节理解奠定基础,也有助于提高阅读速度。
(三)扫读
当学生明确阅读任务,需要查找特定信息时,采用扫读策略。例如,在阅读一篇介绍各国文化习俗的文章后,题目要求找出某个国家在庆祝某个节日时的特殊活动,学生可以快速在文章中扫视与该国家和节日相关的词汇,定位到相应段落,然后找到具体信息。扫读策略能够帮助学生高效地从大量文字中提取关键信息,解决具体的阅读问题,提高阅读的针对性和准确性。
(四)精读
在略读和扫读的基础上,对文章进行精读。仔细分析文章中的词汇、语法、句子结构,理解作者的观点、态度和写作意图。比如在阅读一篇关于友谊的议论文时,学生要精读文章中作者阐述自己对友谊看法的句子,分析作者使用的论据是如何支撑论点的,以及作者运用了哪些修辞手法或写作技巧来增强文章的说服力。通过精读,学生能够深入理解文章内涵,学习语言知识和写作手法,提高语言运用能力和思维品质。同时,在精读过程中,学生可以对文章中的好词好句进行摘抄积累,为写作提供素材。

综合实战演练
1
The eyes are the window of the soul. Eye language can express different feelings. People from English-speaking countries have more eye contact when they are in conversation. When Americans are talking, they usually look at each other. But there are many rules about eye language: Whether to look at the other speaker or not; when it is the time to look, how long they can look; who they can look at and who they can’t. All these have different meanings.
Americans put great importance on the time and the way of eye contact. In ordinary conversation, they will look at each other about one minute and then they will look away. Too long, eye contact will make people feel uncomfortable. Once some Americans had a trip to a foreign village and the local people stared (盯) at them. The Americans were angry and thought the local people were not friendly. In fact, it was natural and local area. They were just curious (好奇的).
People who like each other have more eye contact than people who dislike each other. Women usually communicate with more eye contact. If two Americans stare at each other, it shows they are close friends. In North America, the children have learned to look at the other speaker in the eye. If they don’t, they are thought to be unconfident.

It seems everyone is talking about AI these days. AI makes machines, such as computers or robots, seem smart.
You’ve probably heard of Al tools like Siri, Google Assistant, and Alexa. They can answer questions and do simple jobs, like turning the TV on and off. Some smarter AI tools, like Copilot and ChatGPT, can even talk like us.
If you’ re wondering if AI can help with school, the answer is “yes” , but first you have to make sure your school says it’s OK. You can ask an AI tool for information on a subject, like asking about Mars (火星) for your science homework. But remember, you should do your own work. Don’t just copy what the AI says. Use your own words.
Can AI be like a teacher? The answer is “yes” too. If you don’t understand a maths problem, an AI tool can tell you how to solve it and show you examples. If you can’t spell a word, an AI tool can spell it for you and even show you how to use it in a sentence. It’s a fun way to learn.
But is AI always reliable? No. AI is smart, but it’ s not always right. AI is still learning, and sometimes it might make mistakes. So, always check with other sources (信息来源) to make sure the information is right. AI is a great tool to help you learn, but always ask for help from teachers or parents to use it the right way.
1.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A.Some smart AI tools. B.Why AI tools are useful.
C.How easy it is to use AI tools. D.Some problems with AI tools.
2.If you want to use an AI tool to help you with your homework of English writing, what should you do first?
A.Ask the teacher if it is OK. B.Give the AI tool an example.
C.Learn the language of the AI tool. D.Make sure you know enough words.
3.What does the underlined word “reliable” in the last paragraph mean in English?
A.free B.common C.fast D.believable
4.Which of the following may the writer agree with?
A.Teachers should use more AI tools at school.
B.Children should be careful when using AI tools.
C.AI tools get most of the information from books.
D.Using AI tools is the best way to help children learn.

Several schools are trying to stop students using slang (俚语). But is it worth?
The Harris Academy in Upper Norwood (London) is one school that’s taking action. Students there aren’t allowed to use words such as coz (because), ain’t (isn’t/ aren’t, etc.) and yeah (yes) when they’re speaking. A letter has been sent to parents explaining the decision, according to an article in the Daily Mail.
But why? “The big problem is that many of these words are appearing in written work,” explained Mr. Hank, an English teacher. “This puts many children at a disadvantage... We do want them to be able to communicate properly with people and be understood. We are going to teach them the rules. If they decide not to use these rules with friends, that is fine. But I want them to know that when writing and speaking in a formal (正式的) situation, they should use Standard English.”
So, what’s causing the problem? Firstly, slang is just about everywhere these days: in TV soaps, reality shows, songs and films. Secondly, with more and more people using it in conversations with friends and workmates, it’s becoming more acceptable. Also, the increase in the use of mobile phones and social networking sites is having an influence — while texting, people often use abbreviations or phonetic forms of words, such as wot (what), dat (that), dis (this), n (and), w (with), gonna (going to) and wanna (want to).
However, many people think that the effort to control languages doesn’t make sense. “The very nature of English is its flexibility (灵活性)”, said a Jamaican poet in a recent interview. “You can’t control the type of language that people use,” he added. “The reason why English is such a popular language is because it develops well to fit the way it is being used,” a language expert explained.
Is the “war” on slang worth fighting?
1.How does the writer show that slang is not allowed in some schools?
A.By telling a story. B.By giving an example.
C.By using a saying. D.By describing a picture.
2.How many reasons for people’s using slang are mentioned?
A.Two. B.Three. C.Four. D.Five.
3.What can we infer from the Jamaican poet’s words in Paragraph 5?
A.Any language has its own rules. B.English is the most popular language.
C.It’s acceptable for people to use slang. D.The effort to control slang is really meaningful.
4.Which is the best title for this passage?
A.Slang matters, doesn’t it? B.Slang or not slang at school?
C.How to teach slang at school? D.Is slang learning necessary at school?

I am a reporter of China Daily. Today, I decide to write about some challenges when trying to learn just a little Putonghua.
When I remember words in pinyin, I’m amazed that most of the words are no more than four letters, which may be easy for speaking but actually doesn’t help with memory. The simpleness makes a lot of words seem similar, in fact, they’re not. Even the same word may have 20 different meanings, not to mention the changes created by the four tones (音调)!
Another thing about pinyin is that an English speaker can pronounce most of the sounds just as he or she would speak English. But when he or she meets “he” (huh) or “zi” (zuh) or “qi” (chur), it becomes difficult. Don’t even try those words if you can’t pronounce them well.
In the newsroom, I try to learn the Chinese that I usually hear: tou ban (page 1), hao le (it’s done), fa le ba (send it). My goal is to not cause lots of laughter when I try something in Chinese, but let the Chinese listener guess the pronunciation after a three-to-four-second stop.
I also find an interesting thing. That is an English speaker who has learnt Putonghua well can’t understand Cantonese (广东话). Sure, people from New York, Boston, Chicago and Atlanta all have different accents (口音), but we can understand each other for the most part.
1.From Paragraph 2, we can know ________.
A.The writer can both pronounce Chinese words and remember them
B.The writer can neither pronounce Chinese words nor remember them
C.The writer finds it not easy to pronounce Chinese words in pinyin
D.The writer finds it not easy to remember Chinese words in pinyin
2.Which of the following words best describes the writer’s feeling in the last paragraph?
A.excited B.tired C.surprised D.bored
3.What does the article mainly tell us?
A.Something happens when an English speaker studies Putonghua.
B.It’s difficult for an English speaker to learn Putonghua very well.
C.An English speaker can understand Putonghua better than Cantonese.
D.Some words have many different meanings and tones in Putonghua.
4.What’s the best title of the passage?
A.Making My Way to Putonghua B.Reasons for Learning Putonghua C.Teaching others to learn Putonghua D.Suggestions on Learning Putonghua

An idiom (习语) is an expression that describes a situation in a funny or unusual way. Interestingly, the meaning of idioms is different from that of single words. For example:
•It cost an arm and a leg.=It was very expensive.
•She’s over the moon about her new job.=She’s very happy about her new job.
•I felt like a fish out of water in the party.=I felt very uncomfortable in the party.
In some cases, we can guess the meaning of an idiom from the context—what people are talking about. In other cases, we can imagine the idiom. Some idioms actually stand for an action that we may take in a situation. For example:
•They’re up in arms about the changes.=They’re angry about the changes. Literally (字面上), some people put their arms in the air when they’re angry.
In a word, idioms are a fun and creative way to express ourselves in English. They add color and humor to language and help us better understand the cultures and customs of English-speaking countries. Some idioms may be difficult to understand for us at first. With practice and some knowledge about the foreign cultures, we can become more familiar (熟悉的) with them and use them in our own conversations. It’s important to remember that idioms should be used properly in the right place to avoid misunderstandings.
1.If you find your English has improved, which of the following can best express your mood?
A.It costs me an arm and a leg.
B.I am over the moon about my progress.
C.I feel like a fish out of water in the classroom.
2.Which methods can help understand the meaning of an idiom?
①Knowing single words. ②Guessing from the context. ③Imagining the idiom.
A.①② B.①③ C.②③
3.What is important when using idioms according to the text?
A.Using them with foreign friends.
B.Using them as often as possible.
C.Using them properly in the right place.
4.The text is written to ________.
A.show how to remember idioms
B.help us understand and use idioms
C.let us learn more about foreign culture

To many foreigners, Chinese characters may seem like a random (任意的) mix of lines. But to Lena, a 20-year-old girl from Northern Virginia, US, each one tells its own story.
In her eyes, the character “kan (侃)” looks like a singing jellyfish, and the traditional form of “wu (無)” lets her think of a sheep. Then, she tried to draw them as she saw them. To her surprise, after she posted the picture “wu” online, many loved it. Then, she noticed that many Chinese characters “stood out as looking like different objects”. Now, thanks to Lena’s drawings, more people are thinking about language, art and cultural exchange.
Some people think that Lena seems to understand the beauty of Chinese characters even better than many Chinese people.
“ ★ ” said Lena. She said that the reverse (反过来) is also true. For example, she learned from her Chinese friends that the letters “orz” together look like a person kneeling (下跪) to say sorry. But it carries no meaning in English.
Lena’s story shows that language is more than just words. She also encourages Chinese learners to talk with native English speakers. “It’s more fun if you are teaching them your language and they’re teaching you theirs at the same time, because then it’s more of a cultural exchange.”
1.What can the examples in paragraph 2 show us?
A.Chinese characters seem like a random mix of lines.

4.What is the main purpose of the passage?
A.To help people realize the mystery of their own language.
B.To teach students a new way of learning Chinese characters.
C.To tell us language plays an important role in cultural exchange.

“You pretty, he ugly. You swan (天鹅), he frog (青蛙)!” Foreign people just love this funny English sentence going around the Chinese Internet.
It all started when a foreign girl named Kris posted a sad photo online. It seemed that her boyfriend made her cry. Some nice Chinese people tried to cheer her up. They asked her to find someone better. Some made funny Chinglish to make her feel happy, such as “You swan, he frog”. This became a hit with foreigners. Many found it cool. They shared it a lot online and made funny pictures with it.
“I need Chinese net users in my life who call the people that have hurt me frogs.” said a foreign Internet user, showing her love for the expression. Some of them wanted to know why Chinese people use “swan” and “frog” to describe this couple. After looking into it, they learned that it came from the famous old Chinese story of the beautiful swan and the ugly frog, and got interested in the Chinese stories behind Chinglish.
In the past, people often corrected those who spoke Chinglish because it was full of grammar mistakes.

When you are learning English, listening, speaking and writing are important, but reading can also be very helpful. When you read, you can not only learn some new words, but also learn how to use these English words. When you read, it gives you a good example for writing.
Good reading tips:
Try to read at the right level (水平). Read something that you can (more or less) understand. If you need to stop every three words to use a dictionary, it is not interesting.
Try to increase the number of your new words. If there are four or five new words on a page, write them in your notebook. But you don’t have to write them while you read. Instead, try to guess their meanings as you read: mark them with a pen. Then come back when you have finished reading to look them up in a dictionary and write them in your own vocabulary book. Then try to remember them.
Try to read regularly. For example, read for a short time once a day. Fifteen minutes every day is better than two hours every Sunday. Fix (固定) a time to read and keep to it. You could read for fifteen minutes when you go to bed, or when you get up or at lunchtime.
Read what interests you. Choose a book or a magazine about a subject that you like, because you are going to spend time and money reading it. So, choose an interesting book. You can also read newspapers. There are many English newspapers in China. For example, 21st Century Teens. It is easy enough for you to understand. There is something interesting in it.

Subject:
question
Dear Dr Fingers,
I’m learning English these days but I find it difficult to find out the difference between “take a decision” and “make a dicision”. Please could you help me?
Yours,
Bob
Dear Bob,
Thank you very much for your e-mail. Of course, I’m happy to help you with your question.
Is it “take” or “make” a decision? The simple answer to that is it depends on your nationality. Let me explain. Generally, the Americans use the expression “make a decision”, and in British English “take a decision” is also possible (the British use both forms). To Americans, “take a decision” sounds very strange, so they may tell you that it isn’t correct. But I can promise you that in British English it is acceptable English and you’ll find it used on the BBC website, and in magazines such as The Economist.
However, as far as I know, in both countries, there is not a “decision-taking process (过程)”, and you’ll have to stick with a “decision-making process”.
So, if you’re learning American English, stick with “make”. For British English, feel free to use both, but note that “take” often sounds more formal.
I hope this clears things up!
Yours,
Dr Fingers
1.According to the passage, who might be Dr Fingers?
A.An AI tool that answers readers’ language questions in the magazine by itself.
B.A language expert who answers readers’ grammar questions for the magazine.
C.A British university teacher who studies American and British English differences.
D.A made-up (not real) character in the magazine to make English learning interesting.
2.Which of the following situations is true according to Dr Fingers?
A.A company handbook explains their “decision-taking process”.
B.An American businessman says, “We need to take a decision today”.
C.A British teacher says, “Both ‘make’ and ‘take’ a decision are wrong”.
D.A British news reports, “The government will take a decision next week”.
3.What does Dr Fingers tell us about language rules?
A.Only school work English matters. B.English grammar rules never change.
C.American English is the best language. D.Rules can be different in different places.
4.What does the underlined part “stick with” mean in the passage?
A.Forget about. B.Continue using. C.Argue against. D.Spend with.

The Feynman Technique (费曼学习法) was developed by Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman. It’s a study method that helps students learn by teaching others.
The Feynman Technique has been one of the most effective (有效的) study methods for many years. For one thing, it helps students really understand something instead of just memorizing information. What’s more, unlike traditional study methods like rereading textbooks or reviewing notes, it pushes students to be more actively involved (参与) in the learning process.
If you want to use the Feynman Technique to study better, follow these steps. To begin with, choose a topic you want to learn, including sub - topics. If not, you’ll end up jumping between topics without developing a deeper understanding of any of them.
The second step is the heart of the Feynman Technique: explaining the topic simply enough to be understood by a sixth-grade student. This requires you to help the child understand by using the simplest and clearest language possible. This step helps divide indigestible topics into their most basic parts.
Next, review your explanation and try to find any area where you felt that you couldn’t explain the topic simply. When possible, it can be very helpful to get advice from someone whose understanding is similar to that of a sixth-grader, such as your best friend.
The fourth step is to improve your explanation by using the information collected from the third step. Finally, repeat the steps. The Feynman Technique works best with repetition, and that is why going through all the prior (先前的) steps just once is usually not enough to fully understand the topic.
Once you’re confident you’ve learned the topic, it’s time to give yourself a prize. Perhaps, like me, enjoy a nice cup of coffee.
1.How does the Feynman Technique work?
A.Help students learn by teaching others. B.Push students to memorize information.
C.Only help sixth-grade students study. D.Give students a prize to build confidence.
2.How should a student begin using the Feynman Technique?
A.By reading textbooks and notes on the subject.
B.By explaining the topic to a group of students.
C.By choosing a topic and its sub-topics to study.
D.By carefully noting down everything they read.
3.What does the underlined word “indigestible” probably mean in paragraph 4?
A.Easy to master. B.Difficult to understand.
C.Related to food. D.Popular among students.
4.Why is repetition important in the Feynman Technique?
A.To understand the topic better. B.To make studying less boring.
C.To help to finish studying faster. D.To memorize all the information.
5.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Traditional Methods or Modern Techniques.
B.The Importance of Memorization in Learning.
C.How to Collect More Information from Books.
D.The Feynman Technique: Learning by Teaching.

2025-2026学年上学期八年级英语知识点梳理与巩固(译林版2024)
Unit 3 To be a good learner主题阅读
必备知识清单
单元主题阅读
一、阅读主题
Unit 3的主题为学会学习(成为一个优秀的学习者)。成为优秀学习者意味着学生要掌握有效的学习方法,懂得如何管理学习时间,培养自主学习能力以及学会从不同渠道获取知识等。例如,在英语学习里,学生可以通过制定每日的单词背诵计划来管理学习时间,像每天背诵10个新单词,并定期复习;利用在线英语学习网站如“英语趣配音”来提高口语能力,这就是从不同渠道获取知识的体现。同时,优秀学习者还需善于反思学习过程,总结经验教训,不断调整学习策略以适应不同的学习任务和场景。
(一)主题内涵
1.学习方法的掌握:包括如何记笔记、总结归纳知识点、利用思维导图梳理知识体系等。如在学习英语语法时,学生可以通过制作表格对比一般现在时、一般过去时和一般将来时的结构、用法及时间标志词,这能让复杂的语法知识一目了然,便于理解和记忆。
2.学习习惯的养成:养成良好的预习、复习习惯以及按时完成作业、积极参与课堂讨论等习惯。比如每天预习明天要学习的英语课文,标记出不懂的地方,这样在课堂上就能更有针对性地听讲;课后及时复习当天所学内容,背诵单词和课文,巩固知识。
3.自主学习能力的培养:学会自我管理学习,设定学习目标并能自主安排学习进度。以英语阅读为例,学生可以给自己设定每周阅读一本英语简易读物的目标,然后根据读物的篇幅和自身时间情况,合理安排每天的阅读量,逐步提升阅读能力。
(二)素养体现
1.语言能力素养:通过阅读学习,学生能够提高阅读理解能力,准确理解文本中的词汇、语法和句子含义,并且能够运用所学语言知识进行口头和书面表达。例如,阅读关于友谊的文章后,学生能够用英语描述自己朋友的特点,以及阐述自己的交友观,如“My best friend is more outgoing than me. She likes to tell jokes and always makes me laugh. I think a good friend should be kind and helpful.”
2.思维品质素养:在阅读过程中,学生需要分析文本结构、理解作者意图、进行推理判断等,这有助于培养逻辑思维、批判性思维和创造性思维。比如在阅读一篇议论文时,学生要分析作者的论点、论据和论证过程,判断作者观点的合理性,并能提出自己的看法,“The author argues that friends should be the same. However, I think friends can be different. Different friends can bring different experiences and make our lives more colorful.”
3.文化意识素养:接触不同题材的阅读材料,学生能够了解到不同国家的文化习俗、价值观念等,拓宽文化视野,增强文化理解和包容。如阅读关于国外节日的文章,学生可以了解到西方圣诞节、感恩节等节日的由来、庆祝方式以及背后蕴含的文化意义,从而加深对不同文化的认识。
(三)策略要求
1.阅读策略:运用略读(skimming)快速获取文章大意,扫读(scanning)定位关键信息,精读(close reading)深入理解文章细节。例如在阅读一篇介绍动物的文章时,先通过略读了解文章主要介绍了哪种动物及其大致特点;再用扫读找到关于动物生活习性、栖息地等关键信息;最后通过精读分析作者对动物的描写手法、情感态度等细节内容。
2.记忆策略:采用联想记忆、词根词缀记忆、语境记忆等方法来记忆单词和语法知识。如记忆“communication”(交流)这个单词时,可以联想到“communicate”(动词,交流),通过分析“-ion”这个名词后缀来帮助记忆;或者在句子“She has good communication skills.(她有良好的沟通技巧。)”这样的语境中记忆该单词,会更加深刻。
3.合作学习策略:与同学组成学习小组,共同讨论阅读中遇到的问题,分享学习心得和学习资源。在小组合作学习英语课文时,学生们可以分工查找资料,对课文中的难点进行讨论,互相交流对文章的理解,这不仅能提高学习效率,还能培养团队合作精神。
(四)文化品质
1.尊重不同文化:在阅读涉及不同国家文化的文章时,学生能够理解并尊重文化差异,避免文化偏见。例如,了解到西方国家在人际交往中较为注重个人空间,与东方文化中人们之间较为亲密的相处方式不同,学生能够尊重这种差异,并且在跨文化交流中表现出理解和包容。
2.培养学习的热情和毅力:通过阅读有趣的英语材料,激发学生对英语学习的热爱,在面对学习困难时保持坚持不懈的精神。当学生阅读到精彩的英语故事、科普文章等,会被内容所吸引,从而对英语学习产生更浓厚的兴趣;在学习英语过程中遇到生词多、语法难等问题时,凭借对英语阅读的热情,坚持克服困难,不断提升自己的学习能力。
3.树立全球视野:通过广泛阅读,学生能够了解世界各国的发展动态、社会现象等,培养全球意识,认识到自己作为世界公民的责任。例如,阅读关于环境保护的国际新闻报道,学生能够了解到全球环境问题的严峻性,意识到自己可以为保护环境贡献一份力量,从而树立起全球视野和责任感。

(二)略读
让学生快速浏览文章,重点关注文章的标题、首尾段、每段的主题句(通常在段落开头),了解文章的主旨大意和整体结构。比如在阅读一篇关于学习方法的文章时,学生通过略读发现首段提出了“不同的学习方法对学习效果有重要影响”这一观点,尾段总结了“找到适合自己的学习方法才能提高学习效率”,中间段落分别介绍了几种常见的学习方法及其优势。通过略读,学生能在短时间内把握文章的核心内容,为后续的精读和细节理解奠定基础,也有助于提高阅读速度。

当学生明确阅读任务,需要查找特定信息时,采用扫读策略。例如,在阅读一篇介绍各国文化习俗的文章后,题目要求找出某个国家在庆祝某个节日时的特殊活动,学生可以快速在文章中扫视与该国家和节日相关的词汇,定位到相应段落,然后找到具体信息。扫读策略能够帮助学生高效地从大量文字中提取关键信息,解决具体的阅读问题,提高阅读的针对性和准确性。
(四)精读
在略读和扫读的基础上,对文章进行精读。仔细分析文章中的词汇、语法、句子结构,理解作者的观点、态度和写作意图。比如在阅读一篇关于友谊的议论文时,学生要精读文章中作者阐述自己对友谊看法的句子,分析作者使用的论据是如何支撑论点的,以及作者运用了哪些修辞手法或写作技巧来增强文章的说服力。通过精读,学生能够深入理解文章内涵,学习语言知识和写作手法,提高语言运用能力和思维品质。同时,在精读过程中,学生可以对文章中的好词好句进行摘抄积累,为写作提供素材。

The eyes are the window of the soul. Eye language can express different feelings. People from English-speaking countries have more eye contact when they are in conversation. When Americans are talking, they usually look at each other. But there are many rules about eye language: Whether to look at the other speaker or not; when it is the time to look, how long they can look; who they can look at and who they can’t. All these have different meanings.
Americans put great importance on the time and the way of eye contact. In ordinary conversation, they will look at each other about one minute and then they will look away. Too long, eye contact will make people feel uncomfortable. Once some Americans had a trip to a foreign village and the local people stared (盯) at them. The Americans were angry and thought the local people were not friendly. In fact, it was natural and local area. They were just curious (好奇的).
People who like each other have more eye contact than people who dislike each other. Women usually communicate with more eye contact. If two Americans stare at each other, it shows they are close friends. In North America, the children have learned to look at the other speaker in the eye. If they don’t, they are thought to be unconfident.

A.We can read one’s mind through his/her eyes.

It seems everyone is talking about AI these days. AI makes machines, such as computers or robots, seem smart.
You’ve probably heard of Al tools like Siri, Google Assistant, and Alexa. They can answer questions and do simple jobs, like turning the TV on and off. Some smarter AI tools, like Copilot and ChatGPT, can even talk like us.
If you’ re wondering if AI can help with school, the answer is “yes” , but first you have to make sure your school says it’s OK. You can ask an AI tool for information on a subject, like asking about Mars (火星) for your science homework. But remember, you should do your own work. Don’t just copy what the AI says. Use your own words.
Can AI be like a teacher? The answer is “yes” too. If you don’t understand a maths problem, an AI tool can tell you how to solve it and show you examples. If you can’t spell a word, an AI tool can spell it for you and even show you how to use it in a sentence. It’s a fun way to learn.
But is AI always reliable? No. AI is smart, but it’ s not always right. AI is still learning, and sometimes it might make mistakes. So, always check with other sources (信息来源) to make sure the information is right. AI is a great tool to help you learn, but always ask for help from teachers or parents to use it the right way.
1.What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
A.Some smart AI tools. B.Why AI tools are useful.
C.How easy it is to use AI tools. D.Some problems with AI tools.
2.If you want to use an AI tool to help you with your homework of English writing, what should you do first?
A.Ask the teacher if it is OK. B.Give the AI tool an example.
C.Learn the language of the AI tool. D.Make sure you know enough words.
3.What does the underlined word “reliable” in the last paragraph mean in English?
A.free B.common C.fast D.believable
4.Which of the following may the writer agree with?
A.Teachers should use more AI tools at school.
B.Children should be careful when using AI tools.
C.AI tools get most of the information from books.
D.Using AI tools is the best way to help children learn.
【答案】1.A 2.A 3.D 4.B

Several schools are trying to stop students using slang (俚语). But is it worth?
The Harris Academy in Upper Norwood (London) is one school that’s taking action. Students there aren’t allowed to use words such as coz (because), ain’t (isn’t/ aren’t, etc.) and yeah (yes) when they’re speaking. A letter has been sent to parents explaining the decision, according to an article in the Daily Mail.
But why? “The big problem is that many of these words are appearing in written work,” explained Mr. Hank, an English teacher. “This puts many children at a disadvantage... We do want them to be able to communicate properly with people and be understood. We are going to teach them the rules. If they decide not to use these rules with friends, that is fine. But I want them to know that when writing and speaking in a formal (正式的) situation, they should use Standard English.”
So, what’s causing the problem? Firstly, slang is just about everywhere these days: in TV soaps, reality shows, songs and films. Secondly, with more and more people using it in conversations with friends and workmates, it’s becoming more acceptable. Also, the increase in the use of mobile phones and social networking sites is having an influence — while texting, people often use abbreviations or phonetic forms of words, such as wot (what), dat (that), dis (this), n (and), w (with), gonna (going to) and wanna (want to).
However, many people think that the effort to control languages doesn’t make sense. “The very nature of English is its flexibility (灵活性)”, said a Jamaican poet in a recent interview. “You can’t control the type of language that people use,” he added. “The reason why English is such a popular language is because it develops well to fit the way it is being used,” a language expert explained.
Is the “war” on slang worth fighting?
1.How does the writer show that slang is not allowed in some schools?
A.By telling a story. B.By giving an example.
C.By using a saying. D.By describing a picture.
2.How many reasons for people’s using slang are mentioned?
A.Two. B.Three. C.Four. D.Five.
3.What can we infer from the Jamaican poet’s words in Paragraph 5?
A.Any language has its own rules. B.English is the most popular language.
C.It’s acceptable for people to use slang. D.The effort to control slang is really meaningful.
4.Which is the best title for this passage?
A.Slang matters, doesn’t it? B.Slang or not slang at school?
C.How to teach slang at school? D.Is slang learning necessary at school?
【答案】1.B 2.B 3.C 4.B

I am a reporter of China Daily. Today, I decide to write about some challenges when trying to learn just a little Putonghua.
When I remember words in pinyin, I’m amazed that most of the words are no more than four letters, which may be easy for speaking but actually doesn’t help with memory. The simpleness makes a lot of words seem similar, in fact, they’re not. Even the same word may have 20 different meanings, not to mention the changes created by the four tones (音调)!
Another thing about pinyin is that an English speaker can pronounce most of the sounds just as he or she would speak English. But when he or she meets “he” (huh) or “zi” (zuh) or “qi” (chur), it becomes difficult. Don’t even try those words if you can’t pronounce them well.
In the newsroom, I try to learn the Chinese that I usually hear: tou ban (page 1), hao le (it’s done), fa le ba (send it). My goal is to not cause lots of laughter when I try something in Chinese, but let the Chinese listener guess the pronunciation after a three-to-four-second stop.
I also find an interesting thing. That is an English speaker who has learnt Putonghua well can’t understand Cantonese (广东话). Sure, people from New York, Boston, Chicago and Atlanta all have different accents (口音), but we can understand each other for the most part.
1.From Paragraph 2, we can know ________.
A.The writer can both pronounce Chinese words and remember them
B.The writer can neither pronounce Chinese words nor remember them
C.The writer finds it not easy to pronounce Chinese words in pinyin
D.The writer finds it not easy to remember Chinese words in pinyin
2.Which of the following words best describes the writer’s feeling in the last paragraph?
A.excited B.tired C.surprised D.bored
3.What does the article mainly tell us?
A.Something happens when an English speaker studies Putonghua.
B.It’s difficult for an English speaker to learn Putonghua very well.
C.An English speaker can understand Putonghua better than Cantonese.
D.Some words have many different meanings and tones in Putonghua.
4.What’s the best title of the passage?
A.Making My Way to Putonghua B.Reasons for Learning Putonghua C.Teaching others to learn Putonghua D.Suggestions on Learning Putonghua
【答案】1.D 2.C 3.B 4.A

An idiom (习语) is an expression that describes a situation in a funny or unusual way. Interestingly, the meaning of idioms is different from that of single words. For example:
•It cost an arm and a leg.=It was very expensive.
•She’s over the moon about her new job.=She’s very happy about her new job.
•I felt like a fish out of water in the party.=I felt very uncomfortable in the party.
In some cases, we can guess the meaning of an idiom from the context—what people are talking about. In other cases, we can imagine the idiom. Some idioms actually stand for an action that we may take in a situation. For example:
•They’re up in arms about the changes.=They’re angry about the changes. Literally (字面上), some people put their arms in the air when they’re angry.
In a word, idioms are a fun and creative way to express ourselves in English. They add color and humor to language and help us better understand the cultures and customs of English-speaking countries. Some idioms may be difficult to understand for us at first. With practice and some knowledge about the foreign cultures, we can become more familiar (熟悉的) with them and use them in our own conversations. It’s important to remember that idioms should be used properly in the right place to avoid misunderstandings.
1.If you find your English has improved, which of the following can best express your mood?
A.It costs me an arm and a leg.
B.I am over the moon about my progress.
C.I feel like a fish out of water in the classroom.
2.Which methods can help understand the meaning of an idiom?
①Knowing single words. ②Guessing from the context. ③Imagining the idiom.
A.①② B.①③ C.②③
3.What is important when using idioms according to the text?
A.Using them with foreign friends.
B.Using them as often as possible.
C.Using them properly in the right place.
4.The text is written to ________.
A.show how to remember idioms
B.help us understand and use idioms
C.let us learn more about foreign culture
【答案】1.B 2.C 3.C 4.B
【解析】本文介绍了习语是一种以有趣或不寻常的方式描述情况的表达。有趣的是,习语的含义与单个单词的含义不同。

To many foreigners, Chinese characters may seem like a random (任意的) mix of lines. But to Lena, a 20-year-old girl from Northern Virginia, US, each one tells its own story.
In her eyes, the character “kan (侃)” looks like a singing jellyfish, and the traditional form of “wu (無)” lets her think of a sheep. Then, she tried to draw them as she saw them. To her surprise, after she posted the picture “wu” online, many loved it. Then, she noticed that many Chinese characters “stood out as looking like different objects”. Now, thanks to Lena’s drawings, more people are thinking about language, art and cultural exchange.
Some people think that Lena seems to understand the beauty of Chinese characters even better than many Chinese people.
“ ★ ” said Lena. She said that the reverse (反过来) is also true. For example, she learned from her Chinese friends that the letters “orz” together look like a person kneeling (下跪) to say sorry. But it carries no meaning in English.
Lena’s story shows that language is more than just words. She also encourages Chinese learners to talk with native English speakers. “It’s more fun if you are teaching them your language and they’re teaching you theirs at the same time, because then it’s more of a cultural exchange.”

“You pretty, he ugly. You swan (天鹅), he frog (青蛙)!” Foreign people just love this funny English sentence going around the Chinese Internet.
It all started when a foreign girl named Kris posted a sad photo online. It seemed that her boyfriend made her cry. Some nice Chinese people tried to cheer her up. They asked her to find someone better. Some made funny Chinglish to make her feel happy, such as “You swan, he frog”. This became a hit with foreigners. Many found it cool. They shared it a lot online and made funny pictures with it.
“I need Chinese net users in my life who call the people that have hurt me frogs.” said a foreign Internet user, showing her love for the expression. Some of them wanted to know why Chinese people use “swan” and “frog” to describe this couple. After looking into it, they learned that it came from the famous old Chinese story of the beautiful swan and the ugly frog, and got interested in the Chinese stories behind Chinglish.
In the past, people often corrected those who spoke Chinglish because it was full of grammar mistakes. However, with globalization (全球化), people from different countries can now share their ideas more often. Different styles of speaking English are becoming common and even accepted. English with local touches can also be popular. For example, the well-known “add oil” has now appeared in the Oxford dictionary and people use it widely. The phrase shows Chinese culture.

When you are learning English, listening, speaking and writing are important, but reading can also be very helpful. When you read, you can not only learn some new words, but also learn how to use these English words. When you read, it gives you a good example for writing.
Good reading tips:
Try to read at the right level (水平). Read something that you can (more or less) understand. If you need to stop every three words to use a dictionary, it is not interesting.
Try to increase the number of your new words. If there are four or five new words on a page, write them in your notebook. But you don’t have to write them while you read. Instead, try to guess their meanings as you read: mark them with a pen. Then come back when you have finished reading to look them up in a dictionary and write them in your own vocabulary book. Then try to remember them.
Try to read regularly. For example, read for a short time once a day. Fifteen minutes every day is better than two hours every Sunday. Fix (固定) a time to read and keep to it. You could read for fifteen minutes when you go to bed, or when you get up or at lunchtime.
Read what interests you. Choose a book or a magazine about a subject that you like, because you are going to spend time and money reading it. So, choose an interesting book. You can also read newspapers. There are many English newspapers in China. For example, 21st Century Teens. It is easy enough for you to understand. There is something interesting in it.
1.According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE about reading in learning English?
A.Reading is less important than listening.
B.Reading can only help with learning new words.
C.Reading provides good examples for writing.
D.Reading has nothing to do with speaking.
2.If there are several new words on a page while reading, you should ________.
A.stop reading immediately and look them up in a dictionary
B.write them down in your notebook right away
C.guess their meanings first and mark them
D.skip them and continue reading without paying attention

Subject:
question
Dear Dr Fingers,
I’m learning English these days but I find it difficult to find out the difference between “take a decision” and “make a dicision”. Please could you help me?
Yours,
Bob
Dear Bob,
Thank you very much for your e-mail. Of course, I’m happy to help you with your question.
Is it “take” or “make” a decision? The simple answer to that is it depends on your nationality. Let me explain. Generally, the Americans use the expression “make a decision”, and in British English “take a decision” is also possible (the British use both forms). To Americans, “take a decision” sounds very strange, so they may tell you that it isn’t correct. But I can promise you that in British English it is acceptable English and you’ll find it used on the BBC website, and in magazines such as The Economist.
However, as far as I know, in both countries, there is not a “decision-taking process (过程)”, and you’ll have to stick with a “decision-making process”.
So, if you’re learning American English, stick with “make”. For British English, feel free to use both, but note that “take” often sounds more formal.
I hope this clears things up!
Yours,
Dr Fingers
1.According to the passage, who might be Dr Fingers?
A.An AI tool that answers readers’ language questions in the magazine by itself.
B.A language expert who answers readers’ grammar questions for the magazine.
C.A British university teacher who studies American and British English differences.
D.A made-up (not real) character in the magazine to make English learning interesting.
2.Which of the following situations is true according to Dr Fingers?
A.A company handbook explains their “decision-taking process”.
B.An American businessman says, “We need to take a decision today”.
C.A British teacher says, “Both ‘make’ and ‘take’ a decision are wrong”.
D.A British news reports, “The government will take a decision next week”.
3.What does Dr Fingers tell us about language rules?
A.Only school work English matters. B.English grammar rules never change.
C.American English is the best language. D.Rules can be different in different places.
4.What does the underlined part “stick with” mean in the passage?
A.Forget about. B.Continue using. C.Argue against. D.Spend with.
【答案】1.B 2.D 3.D 4.B
【解析】本文主要通过读者提问和专家解答的形式,介绍了“take a decision”和“make a decision”在美式英语和英式英语中的用法差异。
1.细节理解题。根据“Let’s go into this month’s language clinic”以及Dr Fingers对英语语法问题的专业解答可知,Dr Fingers可能是为杂志回答读者语法问题的语言专家。故选B。
2.细节理解题。根据“in British English ‘take a decision’ is also possible”可知,英国新闻报道中说“政府下周将做出决定”符合英式英语用法。故选D。
3.细节理解题。根据“Is it ‘take’ or ‘make’ a decision? The simple answer to that is it depends on your nationality.”可知,语言规则在不同地方可能不同。故选D。
4.词义猜测题。根据“if you’re learning American English, stick with ‘make’”可知,学习美式英语时应持续使用“make”,“stick with”意为“继续使用”,与“Continue using”同义。故选B。

The Feynman Technique (费曼学习法) was developed by Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman. It’s a study method that helps students learn by teaching others.
The Feynman Technique has been one of the most effective (有效的) study methods for many years. For one thing, it helps students really understand something instead of just memorizing information. What’s more, unlike traditional study methods like rereading textbooks or reviewing notes, it pushes students to be more actively involved (参与) in the learning process.
If you want to use the Feynman Technique to study better, follow these steps. To begin with, choose a topic you want to learn, including sub - topics. If not, you’ll end up jumping between topics without developing a deeper understanding of any of them.
The second step is the heart of the Feynman Technique: explaining the topic simply enough to be understood by a sixth-grade student. This requires you to help the child understand by using the simplest and clearest language possible. This step helps divide indigestible topics into their most basic parts.
Next, review your explanation and try to find any area where you felt that you couldn’t explain the topic simply. When possible, it can be very helpful to get advice from someone whose understanding is similar to that of a sixth-grader, such as your best friend.
The fourth step is to improve your explanation by using the information collected from the third step. Finally, repeat the steps. The Feynman Technique works best with repetition, and that is why going through all the prior (先前的) steps just once is usually not enough to fully understand the topic.
Once you’re confident you’ve learned the topic, it’s time to give yourself a prize. Perhaps, like me, enjoy a nice cup of coffee.
1.How does the Feynman Technique work?
A.Help students learn by teaching others. B.Push students to memorize information.
C.Only help sixth-grade students study. D.Give students a prize to build confidence.
2.How should a student begin using the Feynman Technique?
A.By reading textbooks and notes on the subject.
B.By explaining the topic to a group of students.
C.By choosing a topic and its sub-topics to study.
D.By carefully noting down everything they read.
3.What does the underlined word “indigestible” probably mean in paragraph 4?
A.Easy to master. B.Difficult to understand.
C.Related to food. D.Popular among students.
4.Why is repetition important in the Feynman Technique?
A.To understand the topic better. B.To make studying less boring.
C.To help to finish studying faster. D.To memorize all the information.
5.What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Traditional Methods or Modern Techniques.
B.The Importance of Memorization in Learning.
C.How to Collect More Information from Books.
D.The Feynman Technique: Learning by Teaching.
【答案】1.A 2.C 3.B 4.A 5.D
【解析】本文主要介绍了费曼学习法的定义、优点和实施步骤。
1.细节理解题。根据“The Feynman Technique (费曼学习法) was developed by Nobel Prize-winning physicist Richard Feynman. It’s a study method that helps students learn by teaching others.”可知,费曼技巧是通过教他人来帮助学生学习的方法。故选A。
2.细节理解题。根据“To begin with, choose a topic you want to learn, including sub-topics.”可知,使用费曼技巧的第一步是选择一个主题及其子主题。故选C。
3.词义猜测题。根据“This step helps divide indigestible topics into their most basic parts.”可知,该步骤将难以理解的主题分解成最基本的部分,因此“indigestible”意为“难以理解的”。故选B。
4.细节理解题。根据“The Feynman Technique works best with repetition, and that is why going through all the prior (先前的) steps just once is usually not enough to fully understand the topic.”可知,重复是为了更好地理解主题。故选A。
5.最佳标题题。全文主要介绍了费曼技巧,即通过教他人来学习的方法。故选D。
