英语阅读比赛活动总结

英（音）体组

为了提高我校各年级学生学习英语的兴趣，提高学生英语阅读能力，让学生更加重视英语阅读的意义，加强英语阅读的意识，我校决定举行各年级英语阅读竞赛。

一）活动收获

本次竞赛试卷均选取了课外阅读材料，其中选词填空，补全对话，看图完成句子等不同题型，依据文章内容设计的练习题，主要考查学生的英语阅读理解能力（如概括句意，提炼重点词句，联系上下文理解语句等）。从竞赛情况看，参赛的大部分学生有良好的阅读习惯和理解能力，竞赛时能够做到静心读文，认真思考，答题思路清晰，表达流畅，个别学生思维活跃，想象丰富，答题有独到见解。但阅卷中也发现存在一些问题，在此提出几点建议，望在今后教学中加以注意：

1、习惯方面。一是静心阅读的习惯。有些学生不先通读文章，拿到题目就做，断章取义，造成答题的片面性。二是认真审题的习惯。有部分学生由于看不清题目要求而失分。因此，阅读习惯有待加强。

2、技巧方面。根据练习要求，联系上下文做出判断，从文章中迅速准确地捕捉和提取所需信息，是阅读中十分重要的技巧和能力。试卷中有些练习题，都可以用文中原句作答，但很多学生找不到或找不准而失分，因此要教给学生捕捉和提取有用的信息的方法技巧。

3、能力方面。一是联系上下文理解判断的能力，二是语言概括和语言表达能力，三是想象能力。从完卷情况看，这些能力不少学生还很欠缺，或判断有误，或概括不清，或表达不流畅，或想象不合理，这都需要教师在平时有意识地进行训练，提高学生英语阅读能力。

通过这次比赛，不仅提高了学生学习英语的兴趣，而且培养了学生英语阅读的良好习惯，更开拓了学生学习英语的视野。让学生们意识到培养英语阅读的重要性，感受到学习英语的快乐，体验到英语学习的成功，进一步增强了学生自觉学习英语的意识。本次活动取得了良好的效果，在学生中激起了一轮英语学习尤

其是英语阅读的热潮。进一步培养了学生的自我提高和竞争的能力，促进我校英语教学质量的逐步提高。

二）比赛中存在的不足与改进措施

同时在竞赛的过程中，我们也发现了同学们在答题时有两个方面做得不好，需要改进。一是当外界有干扰时，有些学生就不能“定心”，影响了答题，学习习惯有待提高；另一个是当一些学生发现题目难度较大时，不是认真思考，慎重答题，反而是采取放弃的态度，不去认真看题目内容就随便选择一个答案，这样的学习态度是很不可取的。

年级之间存在着不平衡现象。此次比赛，反映出有的年级学生对单词的掌握实在是不过关，这就要求我们在平时教学时要加大教学力度，由少到多，培养学生英语学习能力。

通过本次比赛，我们全体英语组教师认识到，在今后的日常教学中要一如既往的、持之以恒的对学生进行训练，培养学生良好的习惯。不断鼓励学生能即学即用，能将课堂上学到的运用到生活中，在生活中学以致用。

In today?s world of modern science and medicine, a more traditional treatment is once again becoming popular---animal friendship.

It is now well-known that people with problems such as heart disease or cancer live longer and get better more quickly if they have pets. Keeping pets lowers blood pressure and makes people less worried. Animals are increasingly important in treating older people who have memory loss and other brain problems. These people often feel nervous and upset. Activities with animals help them improve their physical condition and also give them joy, entertainment and loving friendship.

Here is a case that shows the benefits of animals. John was a six-year-old He had no physical problems. He just refused to talk. His older cousin, Ned, had a parrot called Sally, and John used to visit it. When he arrived, Net used to say, “Hi, John!” We all know parrots copy what they hear. After a few visits, Sally began saying “Hi, John!” when John came into the room. Then, one day, John turned to the parrot and replied “Hi, Sally!” Staying with the parrot encouraged John to begin talking.

Another use of animal helpers is in schools. In some cases, animals are used to help children with physical or personal problems. In other cases, they are used to teach children to get on and share with others, and even to teach them about animals.

If you want to know more about animal helper programmes, you can get in touch with organizations like Riding for the Disabled or do a search under “animal therapy” on the Internet. You don?t have to be an animal trainer or a doctor to join in.

Mobile phones are more important than ever in the daily lives of students, but how they use them has changed greatly in the past six years. While phones are still widely use for communication, a recent study has found that most students think talking on mobile phones is now old-fashioned.

London University researchers surveyed 1055 young people aged 13 to 18 about their mobile phone habits. The researchers divided mobile phone use into “communication” and “entertainment”. Communication included talking on the phone and writing messages using texting（短信）or chatting software. Entertainment was made up of playing games, watching movies, listening to music and surfing the Internet. The findings were then compared to a 3

2008 study

, to see what changed. The results are shown below:

Perhaps most surprising is how little time students spend talking on their phones these days. Six years ago the average student spent 36% of their mobile phone time making or receiving calls. In 2014, only 10% of time was used for talking. When students use their phones to communicate, more and more often it is done by using chat software like qq or we chat.

“Communication is still an important function of mobile phones. But now mobile phones are being used more for entertainment than for communication,” said Dr Harry Lectre, the research leader.

21. What was the most popular mobile phone activity in 2014?_________

A. Talking. B. Texting. C. Playing games. D. Watching movies.

22. In total, what percentage of time did students use their mobile phones for communication in 2008?
