2009年福建省廈門市中考英語試題參考答案含聽力材料學.doc

學英語簡單嗎？肯定會有許多學生說：“難死了”。為什么有好多學生對英語的學習都感到頭疼呢？答案只有一個：“不得法。” 英語與漢語一樣都是一種語言，為什么你說漢語會如此流利？那是因為你置身于一個漢語環(huán)境中，如果你在倫敦呆上半年，保準說起英語來會非常流利。但很多中學生沒有很好的英語環(huán)境，那么你可以自己設(shè)置一個英語環(huán)境，堅持“多說”、“多聽”、“多讀”、“多寫”，那么你的英語成績肯定會很出色。 一、多“說”。 自己多創(chuàng)造機會與英語教師多講英語，見了同學，尤其是和好朋友在一起時盡量用英語去問候，談心情這時候你需隨身攜帶一個英漢互譯小詞典，遇到生詞時查一下這些生詞，也不用刻意去記，用的多了，這個單詞自然而然就會記住。千萬別把學英語當成負擔，始終把它當成一件有趣的事情去做。 或許你有機會碰上外國人，你應(yīng)大膽地上去跟他打招呼，和他談天氣、談風景、談學校只是別問及他的年紀，婚史等私人問題。盡量用一些你學過的詞匯，句子去和他談天說地。不久你會發(fā)現(xiàn)與老外聊天要比你與中國人談英語容易的多。因為他和你交談時會用許多簡單詞匯，而且不太看重說法，你只要發(fā)音準確，準能順利地交流下去。只是你必須要有信心，敢于表達自己的思想。 如果沒有合適的伙伴也沒關(guān)系，你可以拿過一本書或其它什么東西做假想對象，對它談你一天的所見所聞，談你的快樂，你的悲傷等等，長此堅持下去你的口語肯定會有較大的提高。 二、多“聽” 尋找一切可以聽英語的機會。別人用英語交談時，你應(yīng)該大膽地去參與，多聽聽各種各樣人的發(fā)音，男女老少，節(jié)奏快的慢的你都應(yīng)該接觸到，如果這樣的機會少的話，你可以選擇你不知內(nèi)容的文章去聽，這將會對你幫助很大，而你去聽學過的課文的磁帶，那將會對你的語言語調(diào)的學習有很大的幫助。 三、多“讀”。 “讀”可以分為兩種。一種是“默讀”。每天給予一定時間的練習將會對你提高閱讀速度有很大的好處，讀的內(nèi)容可以是你的課本，但最好是一些有趣的小讀物，因為現(xiàn)在的英語高考越來越重視閱讀量和閱讀速度。每道題的得分都與你的理解程度有很大關(guān)系，所以經(jīng)過高中三年閱讀的訓練后，你必定會在高考中勝券在握。 另一種是“朗讀”這是學語言必不可少的一種學習途徑。 四、多“寫” 有的同學總是抱怨時間緊，根本沒時間寫作文。其實“寫”的形式很多，不一定就寫作文才提高寫作能力。比如寫下你一天中發(fā)生的一些重要的事情，或當天學了某一個詞組，你可以創(chuàng)設(shè)一個語境恰如其份地用上這個詞。這樣即可幫你記住這個詞的用法，又可以鍛煉你的寫作能力，比如學“wish”一詞時，可寫一小段如下： The teacher often asks us what we want to be in the future.My good friend Tom wishes to be a soldier.However,Im different .I wish I were a teacher in the future.But my mother wishes me to be a doctor. 只幾句話：但wish的幾種用法已躍然紙上，這樣寫下來印象會深刻得多，這樣比死記硬背wish的用法也有趣輕松的多。 學習英語不用花大塊的時間，10分鐘的散步可以練說,吃完飯后可以讀一會兒英語小說，睡前聽幾分鐘英語，可以使你得到更好地休息只要你每天抽出一些時間來練英語，你的英語成績肯定會很快提高的。 背英語單詞技巧 1、循環(huán)記憶法 艾賓浩斯遺忘曲線 人的大腦是一個記憶的寶庫，人腦經(jīng)歷過的事物，思考過的問題，體驗過的情感和情緒，練習過的動作，都可以成為人們記憶的內(nèi)容。例如英文的學習中單詞、短語和句子，甚至文章的內(nèi)容都是通過記憶完成的。從記到憶是有個過程的，這其中包括了識記、保持、再認和回憶。有很多 人在學習英語的過程中，只注重了學習當時的記憶效果，孰不知，要想做好學習的記憶工作，是要下一番工夫的，單純的注重當時的記憶效果，而忽視了后期的保持和再認同樣是達不到良好的效果的。 在信息的處理上，記憶是對輸入信息的編碼、貯存和提取的過程，從信息處理的角度上，英文的第一次學習和背誦只是一個輸入編碼的過程。人的記憶的能力從生理上講是十分驚人的，它可以存貯1015比特(byte，字節(jié))的信息，可是每個人的記憶寶庫被挖掘的只占10%，還有更多的記憶發(fā)揮空間。這是因為，有些人只關(guān)注了記憶的當時效果，卻忽視了記憶中的更大的問題-即記憶的牢固度問題，那就牽涉到心理學中常說的關(guān)于記憶遺忘的規(guī)律。 一、艾賓浩斯記憶規(guī)律曲線解釋 德國有一位著名的心理學家名叫艾賓浩斯(Hermann Ebbinghaus，1850-1909)，他在1885年發(fā)表了他的實驗報告后，記憶研究就成了心理學中被研究最多的領(lǐng)域之一，而艾賓浩斯正是發(fā)現(xiàn)記憶遺忘規(guī)律的第一人。 根據(jù)我們所知道的，記憶的保持在時間上是不同的，有短時的記憶和長時的記憶兩種。而我們平時的記憶的過程是這樣的： 輸入的信息在經(jīng)過人的注意過程的學習后，便成為了人的短時的記憶，但是如果不經(jīng)過及時的復習，這些記住過的東西就會遺忘，而經(jīng)過了及時的復習，這些短時的記憶就會成為了人的一種長時的記憶，從而在大腦中保持著很長的時間。那么，對于我們來講，怎樣才叫做遺忘呢，所謂遺忘就是我們對于曾經(jīng)記憶過的東西不能再認起來，也不能回憶起來，或者是錯誤的再認和錯誤的回憶，這些都是遺忘。艾賓浩斯在做這個實驗的時候是拿自己作為測試對象的，他得出了一些關(guān)于記憶的結(jié)論。他選用了一些根本沒有意義的音節(jié)，也就是那些不能拼出單詞來的眾多字母的組合，比如asww，cfhhj，ijikmb，rfyjbc等等。他經(jīng)過對自己的測試，得到了一些數(shù)據(jù)。 然后，艾賓浩斯又根據(jù)了這些點描繪出了一條曲線，這就是非常有名的揭示遺忘規(guī)律的曲線：艾賓浩斯遺忘曲線，圖中豎軸表示學習中記住的知識數(shù)量，橫軸表示時間(天數(shù))，曲線表示記憶量變化的規(guī)律。 這條曲線告訴人們在學習中的遺忘是有規(guī)律的，遺忘的進程不是均衡的，不是固定的一天丟掉幾個，轉(zhuǎn)天又丟幾個的，而是在記憶的最初階段遺忘的速度很快，后來就逐漸減慢了，到了相當長的時候后，幾乎就不再遺忘了，這就是遺忘的發(fā)展規(guī)律，即先快后慢的原則。觀察這條遺忘曲線，你會發(fā)現(xiàn),學得的知識在一天后，如不抓緊復習,就只剩下原來的25%)。隨著時間的推移,遺忘的速度減慢，遺忘的數(shù)量也就減少。有人做過一個實驗，兩組學生學習一段課文，甲組在學習后不久進行一次復習，乙組不予復習，一天后甲組保持98%，乙組保持56%；一周后甲組保持83%，乙組保持33%。乙組的遺忘平均值比甲組高。 二、不同性質(zhì)材料有不同的遺忘曲線 而且，艾賓浩斯還在關(guān)于記憶的實驗中發(fā)現(xiàn)，記住12個無意義音節(jié)，平均需要重復16.5次；為了記住36個無意義章節(jié)，需重復54次；而記憶六首詩中的480個音節(jié)，平均只需要重復8次！這個實驗告訴我們，凡是理解了的知識，就能記得迅速、全面而牢固。不然，愣是死記硬背，那也是費力不討好的。因此，比較容易記憶的是那些有意義的材料，而那些無意義的材料在記憶的時候比較費力氣，在以后回憶起來的時候也很不輕松。因此，艾賓浩斯遺忘曲線是關(guān)于遺忘的一種曲線，而且是對無意義的音節(jié)而言，對于與其他材料的對比，艾賓浩斯又得出了不同性質(zhì)材料的不同遺忘曲線，不過他們大體上都是一致的。 因此，艾賓浩斯的實驗向我們充分證實了一個道理，學習要勤于復習，而且記憶的理解效果越好，遺忘的也越慢。 三、不同的人有不同的艾賓浩斯記憶曲線-個性化的艾賓浩斯 上述的艾賓浩斯記憶曲線是艾賓浩斯在實驗室中經(jīng)過了大量測試后，產(chǎn)生了不同的記憶數(shù)據(jù)，從而生成的一種曲線，是一個具有共性的群體規(guī)律。此記憶曲線并不考慮接受試驗個人的個性特點，而是尋求一種處于平衡點的記憶規(guī)律。 但是記憶規(guī)律可以具體到我們每個人，因為我們的生理特點、生活經(jīng)歷不同，可能導致我們有不同的記憶習慣、記憶方式、記憶特點。規(guī)律對于自然人改造世界的行為，只能起一個催化的作用，如果與每個人的記憶特點相吻合，那么就如順水揚帆，一日千里；如果與個人記憶特點相悖，記憶效果則會大打折扣。因此，我們要根據(jù)每個人的不同特點，尋找到屬于自己的艾賓浩斯記憶曲線 2如何學英語 下定決心，堅持不懈 英語學習作為一門語言技能，通過大量的訓練和練習任何人是可以掌握的。一般地說，英語學習的原則是聽、說領(lǐng)先，讀、寫跟上。李揚的瘋狂英語提倡，首先建立起我能學好英語的信心，然后以句子為單位，大量地模仿，瘋狂地操練，大聲地朗讀，最后達到自如地說英語，他的方法對提高說英語的能力很奏效。鐘道隆教授45歲開始學英語，一年后，學成出國當口語翻譯，并創(chuàng)造了逆苦惱、逆急于求成、逆速成的逆向?qū)W習英語的方法。他還提出學習英語要遵循聽、寫、說、背、想的方法，他的方法強調(diào)以聽為主，并且把所聽到的內(nèi)容全部寫下來。尤其是他的學習精神最可佳，他學習英語用壞了十幾臺錄音機，你可想象他聽了多少英語；用完的圓珠筆芯幾乎裝滿了一個一拉罐，你可想象他寫了多少，在一年半內(nèi)，累計業(yè)余學習英語時間大約三千小時，也就說每天抽出幾個小時來學英語。如果我們做到他那樣，一定也能學好英語。最重要的是堅持，只要能下定決心，堅持每天至少一個小時的學習英語，戰(zhàn)勝自我最后肯定會有收獲的。 注意方法，循序漸進 決心下定，還注意學習方法，有時根據(jù)自己的情況和不同的學習目的，選擇不同的學習方法，但是學習英語一定要踏踏實實地、一步一個腳印地走。要把基礎(chǔ)知識掌握好，也就是說，發(fā)音要正確、基本詞匯要掌握牢、基本句式要熟練、基本語法要會用。 （1）要過好語音關(guān)。把每一個音標發(fā)正確，注意改正有問題的音素，特別是那些容易混淆的音素，盡早地掌握國際音標，并盡量的掌握一些讀音規(guī)則，盡快地能利用讀音規(guī)則來拼單詞，掌握讀音規(guī)則對單詞的記憶和拼寫非常有用。 （2）掌握一定數(shù)量的英語單詞。對于學習者來說掌握英語詞匯是一難關(guān)，學習單詞要從單詞的形、音、義這三方面去掌握，要注意單詞的一詞多義，一詞多類的用法，要學會一些構(gòu)詞法的知識，來擴展詞匯量。學習單詞要在語言材料中去學，要結(jié)合詞組，通過句子，閱讀文章來活記單詞，死記的單詞是記不牢的。堅持在讀、說前，先反復聽，聽的時候反應(yīng)單詞、句子的意思和節(jié)奏，想一下單詞的拼法、句子結(jié)構(gòu)。并要同學習語法規(guī)則有機結(jié)合起來進行。 （3）掌握好基本語法。語法在學習英語中也很重要，它能幫助我們把握住英語的基本規(guī)律，通過例句或語言現(xiàn)象把死的語法規(guī)則要記住，活的規(guī)則要通過做大量的練習掌握?？傊畬W習英語要通過聽、說、讀、寫、譯來進行操練，不但要注意數(shù)量，更重要的是要注意質(zhì)量，尤其是基本知識要掌握的準確，熟練。只有經(jīng)過大量的實踐，才能做到熟能生巧，運用自如。 提前預(yù)習，有的放矢 作為學生，在每次上課前，都要對要學的課文提前預(yù)習。首先在音標的幫助下試著拼讀單詞，也可以借助配套磁帶反復聽，對比一下，把握不準的要標出來，注意上課老師的發(fā)音，還要記一下單詞的漢語意思和詞性。借助課文的注釋或輔導材料，預(yù)習一遍課文，找出不明白的地方，做到心中有數(shù)，在教師講課時注意聽這些地方?？傊A(yù)習的目的是熟悉要學的內(nèi)容，找出不明白的地方，帶著問題聽課，做到有的放矢。 認真聽課，積極配合 課堂是老師與學生一起學習、掌握、運用知識的主要場所。作為起主導作用的老師一方引導學生搞好課堂教學是很必要的，但也需要學習者的積極配合。上課要專心聽講、作好筆記、認真操練、積極思考。預(yù)習時出現(xiàn)的問題在課堂上教師沒有講到的，要向老師提出，把問題搞清楚，老師講授的問題，先注意聽，下課后整理一下筆記，反復思考一下這些問題，抓住老師所講的重點，難點和考點?？傊险n時要做到耳聽、眼觀、嘴動、腦想，調(diào)動起多個感官來。 完成作業(yè)，找出問題 學完每一課，要認真完成課后作業(yè)。做作業(yè)時一定不要看參考書上題的答案，做完后再對答案，對于作業(yè)中所出現(xiàn)的不明白的問題，應(yīng)該記下來，等下次上課時提出來。做作業(yè)是英語學習的很重要的環(huán)節(jié)，它是消化知識和鞏固知識的過程，一定要認真完成規(guī)定的作業(yè)，筆頭作業(yè)要動一動筆，口頭作業(yè)要動一動嘴，提高聽力要練一練耳，課文在聽和讀的基礎(chǔ)上，最好背誦某些精彩段落。總之，要做大量的練習，英語是練出來的， 一定不要偷懶。 及時復習，鞏固知識 學會了的東西隨著時間的流逝會逐漸遺忘，但學語言有遺忘現(xiàn)象是正常的。更不必因為有遺忘現(xiàn)象而影響自己學好英語的信心與決心。問題在于怎樣來減輕遺忘的程度。善于類比，總結(jié)知識，把新學的知識同過去學的有關(guān)的知識進行橫向和縱向比較和聯(lián)系。建立錯誤檔案記錄，加深印象，以避免再反同樣錯誤。我們大部分知識和技能是靠重復獲得的，及時復習對于記憶非常必要，學英語就是要堅持天天不斷的練，不斷地重復基本句型，常用詞匯和基本語法等。學習英語的過程也是同遺忘做斗爭的過程。 總而言之，只要你能做到下定決心學，注意學習方法，把課前預(yù)習，認真聽課，完成作業(yè)，及時復習這些環(huán)節(jié)作好了，你一定能夠?qū)W好英語 廈門市2009年初中畢業(yè)及高中階段各類學校招生考試英 語 試 題（滿分：150分；考試時間：120分鐘）準考證號_ 姓名_
