一、单选题
1、Which of the following is the feature shared by the English phonemes/m/ and /p/?
A voiced
B voiceless
C bilabial
D dental
答案解析:
考查英语辅音分类
根据英语辅音的分类可知,按照声带振动与否,/m/是浊辅音,/p/是清辅音;按照发音部位,二者都是双唇音;按照发音方式,/m/是鼻音,/p/是爆破音。/m/和/p/共同的特征是双唇音,综上,C选项正确。
A选项,浊音,故排除。
B选项,清音,故排除。
D选项,齿音,故排除。
故正确答案为C项。
2、Which of the following is true of the English sound system?
A Aspiration is a distinctive feature.
B Voicing is distinctive phonetic feature.
C Nasalization of vowels gives rise to another vowel.
D Length of vowels differentiates one vowel from the other.
答案解析:
考查发音系统的区别特征
雅格布逊在20世纪40年代首先提出区别特征(distinctive feature)这一想法,目的是找出一套音系的对照或对比特征,以概括语音的某些方面。比较重要的区别特征有:[辅音][响音][鼻音][带声]等。[辅音]特征可以区分辅音和元音,即所有辅音都是[+辅音],所有元音都是[-辅音]。[响音]特征用来区分所谓阻塞音(塞音、擦音及塞擦音)和响音(其他辅音和元音),即阻塞音是[-响音],响音是[+响音]。[鼻音]和[带声]自然就是用来分别区分鼻音和带声音的特征。这些特征都是二分特征可以区分出两种情况:有该特征的和没有该特征的。综上,B选项正确。
A选项,表述错误,送气并非区别性特征,故排除。
C选项,表述错误,元音的鼻音化不会产生另一个元音只是产生同化现象。
D选项,表述错误,元音的长短只能区分单元音,并不能区分双元音,故排除。
故正确答案为B项。
3、Though the government encourages foreign investment, ______ investors are reluctant to commit funds in the current climate situation in the country.
A potential
B affluent
C optimistic
D solid
答案解析:
考查句意理解和形容词辨析
根据句意“尽管政府鼓励对外投资,但是在国家目前的经济状态下,投资者不愿意拨款”,可知前后半句之间是转折关系。分析四个选项,potential意为“潜在的,可能的”;即潜在的投资者。综上,A选项正确。
B选项,affluent意为“富裕的,丰富的”;故排除。
C选项,optimistic意为“乐观的”;故排除。
D选项,solid意为“固体的,结实的”,故排除。
故正确答案为A项。
4、The man ______ the dark glasses fled away from the spot very rapidly.
A in
B at
C of
D by
答案解析:
考查介词用法
分析句子成分,可知the dark glasses 作后置定语修饰the man,该句意思是“那个戴墨镜的男人快速地逃离了现场”。介词in除了表示“在……里面”,还表示穿戴,不仅可用于穿衣,还可以表示戴眼镜、戴帽子、留辫子等。如:a man in glasses戴眼镜的男人,a boy in hat戴帽子的男孩,a girl in pigtails梳辫子的姑娘。综上,A选项正确。
B、C、D选项,不合题意,故排除。
故正确答案为A项。
5、The morpheme “-ceive” in the word “conceive” is a ______.
A stem
B root
C allomorph
D suffix
答案解析:
考查词素
根据不同的标准,语素可以分为不同的类型。除了复合词以外的多语素词可以分为词根、词缀和词干。
词根(root)是构成词的基础成分,也就是说,把一个词的所有词缀去除后,剩余的部分就是词根。所有的词都至少包含一个词根语素。根据语素能否单独出现,词根可以分为自由词根语素和黏着词根语素。例如blackboard中的black是自由词根;conceive中的-ceive就是黏着词根,源自拉丁语,意思是to take(拿)。
B选项为词根,综上,B选项正确。
A项为词干,故排除。
C选项为词素变体,故排除。
D选项是后缀,故排除。
故正确答案为B项。
6、There is no need ______ to teach children how to behave.
A however
B whatsoever
C forever
D wherever
答案解析:
考查whatsoever的用法
本句意思是“教孩子如何守规矩是没有必要的”。本句去掉设空部分完全成立,意思完整,不缺任何成分。whatsoever作副词,相当于at all用在否定句中,与no、not或nothing 等具有否定意义的词连用,构成加强否定式。综上,B选项正确。
A选项,但是,故排除。
C选项,永远,故排除。
D选项,无论在哪里,故排除。
故正确答案为B项。
7、______ advance seems to be following advance on almost a monthly basis.
A So rapid is the rate of progress that
B Rapid as the rate of progress is that
C So rapid is the rate of progress as
D rapid as the rate of progress as
答案解析:
考查倒装
在so... that...结构中,so及其所修饰的部分位于句首时,主句要用部分倒装。该句的正常语序为 “The rate of progress is so rapid that advance seems to be following advance on almost a monthly basis.” 句意为“进展速度如此之快,看起来几乎是以月为单位向前推进”。故选A。as在引导让步状语从句时,将表语、状语或动词原形等提到as前面,构成倒装。本句不是让步状语从句。综上,A选项正确。
B选项,as为“尽管”的意思,不合题意,故排除。
C选项,句型应为 “so...that”,不合题意,故排除。
D选项,as为“尽管”的意思,不合题意,故排除。
故正确答案为A项。
8、Tom, see that your sister gets safely back, ______?
A can you
B won’t we
C won’t you
D should we
答案解析:
考查祈使句的反义疑问句
祈使句的反义疑问句须按其句子结构及讲话人的语气来决定其疑问部分。祈使句的反义疑问句,若前面是否定结构,则附加问句一般只用will you。若前面是肯定结构,附加问句通常用will you/won’t you/would you等。它形式上是反义疑问句,但并不表示正式的疑问句,也不表示反义,而是表示请求、邀请或劝说等。有时根据语境的需要,反义疑问句也可以用can you/can’t you等。一般说来,用will you, won’t you/would you等构成的反义疑问句语气较委婉。综上,C选项正确。
A、B、D选项,不合题意,故排除。
故正确答案为C项。
9、What rhetoric device is used in the sentence “This is a successful failure”?
A simile
B metonymy
C metaphor
D oxymoron
答案解析:
考查修辞
题意为:“这是一个成功的失败”这句话中运用了什么修辞手法?成功和失败是反义词,用成功修饰失败存在很明显的矛盾关系。D项“矛盾修饰法”。矛盾修饰法是把两个意思相反、互相矛盾或互不协调的词用在一起,以产生矛盾句式的修辞效果。它是英语反义词的一种灵活运用。这种修辞手法表面上看来是矛盾的,实际上这样的组合却能达到其他修辞手法没有的语言效果,含义深刻,寓意明确。综上,D选项正确。
A项“明喻”,故排除。
B项“借代”,故排除。
C项“隐喻、暗喻”,故排除。
故正确答案为D项。
10、The expression “As far as I know…”suggested that people usually observe the maxim of ______ in their daily conversions.
A Quantity
B Quality
C Relevance
D Manner
答案解析:
考查会话合作原则及其四条准则
B选项,质量准则,要说确定的话或真话,as far as I know意思是“据我所知”,为不确定的话。综上,B选项正确。
A选项,数量准则,说话不多不少,故排除。
C选项,关联准则,表示说话有相关性,故排除。
D选项,方式准则,故排除。
故正确答案为B项。
11、When the teacher attempts to elicit more information from the students by saying “And……?”, “Good, Anything else?”, etc. he/she is playing role of a ______?
A prompter
B participant
C manager
D consultant
答案解析:
考查课堂教师角色
题干的意思:当老师试图从学生那里得到更多信息时,他通过一些话语来引导,他扮演的角色是什么。当学生发言或回答问题过于简略时,教师可用“And……?”, “Good, Anything else?”,等提示学生继续往下说,这时教师扮演的课堂角色是提示者。A项是提示者;综上,A选项正确。
B选项,参与者,故排除。
C选项,管理者,故排除。
D选项,咨询者,故排除。
故正确答案为A项。
12、For more advanced learners, group work may be more appropriate than pair work for tasks that are ______.
A linguistically simple
B structurally controlled
C cognitively challenging
D thematically non-demanding
答案解析:
考查课堂活动形式的选择
题干的意思是对于更高级水平的学习者来说,在完成什么样的任务时采取group work会比pair work更恰当。解答此题考生需要知道两种活动形式的特点group work“小组活动”,即将学生分成若干个小组进行活动;pair work“结对活动”,题干中“more advanced learners”是关键,pair work“结对活动”,指每两位学生一组进活动,常用于那些需要更多控制性练习的低年级学生中,比如句型练习和对话练习,并且学生可以获得更多的学习机会。与小组活动相比,它更省时,易控制,教师可以有更多的时间进行解答、举例。而对于高年级学生而言,尽管也用结对活动,但在小组活动中,常常给学生一些富有挑战的任务,使学生共同完成,因此他们的主动性更强,相比较而言,小组活动更适合他们。小组活动往往要有一个明确的主题,为学生指明任务方向。综上,C选项正确。
A项“语言简单”,故排除。
B项“结构控制”,故排除。
D项“主题没有需求”,故排除。
故正确答案为C项。
13、When you focus on “utterance function” and “expected response” by using examples like “Here you are”, “Thanks”, you are probably teaching language at the ______.
A lexical level
B sentence level
C grammatical level
D discourse level
答案解析:

B项“在商店讨价还价”,故排除。
C项“写一封申请书”,故排除。
D项“阅读以获得信息”,故排除。
故正确答案为A项。
15、A teacher may encourage students to ______ when they come across new words in fast reading.
A take notes
B ask for help
C guess meaning from context
D look up the words in a dictionary
答案解析:
考查阅读教学
当学生进行快速阅读时,如果遇到一些生词,老师可以通过上下文语境进行词义猜测。综上,C选项正确。
A选项,记笔记,故排除。
B选项,请求帮助,故排除。
D选项,查字典里的词,字典里的词为外延,阅读中的生难词要根据语境来解释意思,不能只靠字典,故排除。
故正确答案为C项。
16、Which of the following statements about task design is incorrect?
A Activities must have clear and attainable objectives.
B Activities should be confined to the classroom context.
C Activities must be relevant to students’ life experience
D Activities should help develop students’ language ability

考査教学任务设计
教师在设计任务时,任务应有明确的目的,任务应具有真实意义,即接近学生的现实生活;任务应有助于学生语言实际运用能力的提髙。A、C、D项均是关于教学任务设计正确的说法。教学任务显然不应该局限于课堂,还可以延伸到课堂之外,故排除。
B选项错误,教学设计任务应当延伸到课堂外,综上,B选项错误。
故正确答案为B项。
17、If someone says “I know the word”, he should not only understand its meaning but also be able to pronounce, spell, and ______ it.
A explain
B recognize
C memorize
D use
答案解析:
考查词汇教学

D presentation
答案解析:
考查收集评价信息的方式
教师让学生去博物馆、图书馆等搜査关于濒危动物的信息并让学生做出书面的展览规划,这属于一项学习项目。题干中的“搜查濒危动物的信息”可以算是一种survey(调查),但是还需要制定一个展览计划,因此整个任务应该是一个project(项目),综上,C选项正确。
A选项,调查,题干中的“搜查濒危动物的信息”可以算是一种survey(调查),故排除。
B选项,实验,故排除。
D选项,呈现,故排除。
故正确答案为C项。

故正确答案为A项。
二、阅读理解题
In the field of psychology, there’s long been a certain haziness surrounding the definition of creativity, an I-know-it-when-I-see it attitude that has eluded a precise formulation. During our conversation, Beeman told me that he used to be reluctant to tell people what his area of study was, for fear of being dismissed or misunderstood. What, for instance, crosses your mind when you think of creativity? Well, we know that someone is creative if he produces new things or has new ideas. And yet, as John Kounios, a psychologist at Drexel University who collaborates frequently with Beeman, points out, that view is wrong, or at least not entirely right. “Creativity is the process, not the product,” he says.
To illustrate, Beeman offers an example. Imagine someone who has never used or seen a paperclip and is struggling to keep a bunch of papers together. Then the person comes up with a new way of bending a stiff wire to hold the papers in place. “That was very creative,” Beeman says. On the flip side, if someone works in a new field—Beeman gives the example of nanotechnology—anything that he produces may be considered inherently “creative.” But was the act of producing it actually creative? As Beeman puts it, “Not all artists are creative. And some accountants are very creative.”
Insight, however, has proved less difficult to define and to study. Because it arrives at a specific moment in time, you can isolate it, examine it, and analyze its characteristics. “Insight is only one part of creativity,” Beeman says. “But we can measure it. We have a temporal marker that something just happened in the brain. I’d never say that’s all of creativity, but it’s a central, identifiable component.” When scientists examine insight in the lab, they are looking at what types of attention and thought processes lead to that moment of synthesis: If you are trying to facilitate a breakthrough, are there methods you can use that help? If you feel stuck on a problem, are there tricks to get you through?
In a recent study, Beeman and Kounios followed people’s gazes as they attempted to solve what’s called the remote-associates test, in which the subject is given a series of words, like “pine,” “crab,” and “sauce,” and has to think of a single word that can logically be paired with all of them. They wanted to see if the direction of a person’s eyes and her rate of blinking could shed light on her approach and on her likelihood of success. It turned out that if the subject looked directly at a word and focussed on it—that is, blinked less frequently, signalling a higher degree of close attention—she was more likely to be thinking in an analytical, convergent fashion, going through possibilities that made sense and systematically discarding those that didn’t. If she looked at “pine,” say, she might be thinking of words like “tree,” “cone,” and “needle,” then testing each option to see if it fit with the other words. When the subject stopped looking at any specific word, either by moving her eyes or by blinking, she was more likely to think of broader, more abstract associations. That is a more insight-oriented approach. “You need to learn not just to stare but to look outside your focus,” Beeman says. (The solution to this remote-associates test: “apple.”)
As it turns out, by simply following someone’s eyes and measuring her blinks and fixation times (how long she looks at something before either looking away or closing her eyes), Beeman’s group can predict how someone will likely solve a problem and when she is nearing that solution. That’s an important consideration for would-be creative minds: it helps us understand how distinct patterns of attention may contribute to certain kinds of insights.
21、Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “haziness” in PARAGRAPH ONE?
A Arbitrariness
B Vagueness.
C Misunderstanding.
D Controversy.
答案解析:
考查词义
根据第一段 “In the field of psychology, there has long been a certain haziness surrounding the definition of creativity, an I-know-it-when-I-see-it attitude that has eluded a precise formulation.” 可知,在心理学领域,“创造性”一直没有形成准确的定义。大家所持的态度就是“当我看到创造力的时候,我就知道什么是创造力”,以这种态度避开了对创造力定义的精确化。既然是避开了精确化,那么当然就是模糊不清的。即长期以来人们对于创造力的定义一直处于模糊或朦胧的状态。vagueness的意思是“含糊”,与haziness的意思最接近。综上,B选项正确。
故正确答案为B项。
22、According to John Kounios, what does the underlined word “that” in PARAGRAPH TWO refer to?
A Bending the stiff wire.
B Holding papers in place.
C The idea of making a paperclip.
D The process of making a paperclip.
答案解析:
考查指代
根据画线单词that前的句子“To illustrate, Beeman offers an example. Imagine someone who has never used or seen a paperclip and is struggling to keep a bunch of papers together. Then the person comes up with a new way of bending a stiff wire to hold the papers in place.” 可知,为了解释其观点,Beeman 举了一个例子。试想一个从未使用过或者见过回形针的人正在努力将一堆纸叠在一起。然后他想到将一根金属丝弄弯以固定纸堆的办法。又根据第一段最后一句 “Creativity is the process, not the product” 可知that指的是做回形针的过程。综上,D选项正确。
故正确答案为D项。
23、In PARAGRAPH FOUR, which of the following shows the purpose of describing the experiment?
A To discern the link between analytical thinking and insights.
B To discern connection between close attention and insights.
C To discern connection between close attention and imagination.
D To test people’s capacity for close attention and abstract association.
答案解析:
考查细节
根据第三段“When scientists examine insight in the lab, they are looking at what types of attention and thought processes lead to that moment of synthesis”, 当科学家们在实验室检测洞察力时,他们所观察的是何种类型的注意力和思维过程可以带来顿悟,即实验目的是通过对比实验中两种人的观察和思维方式,反映的是注意力与洞察力之间的相互作用。综上,B选项正确。
故正确答案为B项。
24、Based on the experiment, which of the following may signal that the subject is nearing the solution?
A The subject is begging to work.
B The subject looks away at something else.
C The subject is distracted from the given words.
D The subject concentrates on the given words all the time.
答案解析:
考查推断
根据原文“When the subject stopped looking at any specific word, either by moving her eyes or by blinking, she was more likely to think of broader, more abstract associations” 当实验主体通过转动眼睛或眨眼,不再聚焦某一特定词语,他联想的词语可能更抽象,范围也更广。也就是说当实验主体转移注意力,不再聚焦在某一特定词语,可以预测他解决问题的可能性以及何时能得出正确答案,综上,C选项正确。
B项looks away at something else“看向别处”,与原文表述是不一样的。故排除。
故正确答案为C项。
25、What is the best title for this passage?
A Creativity and Insights
B Insights and Problem Solving
C Where Do Insight Moments Come?
D Where Do Creativity Moments Come?
答案解析:
考查主旨
文章前两段主要讲了creativity的定义。第三段指出insight是creativity的核心组成部分;虽然creativity不容易理解,但insight比较容易定义和研究。第四段描述了一个实验,实验目的是发现 attention和insight之间的关系。第五段指出实验结果,即不同类型的attention能够影响insight,这给了想成为有创造力的人(would-be creative minds)一个重大的启示。由此可以推断,attention能够影响insight,从而产生 creativity。可见文章从探讨creativity的定义,到研究insight,归根到底是想发现怎样成为有创造力的人。D项Where Do Creativity Moments Come? 作为本文的标题最恰当。综上,D选项正确。
故正确答案为D项。
三、阅读理解题
Taylor Swift, the seven-time Grammy winner, is known for her articulate lyrics, so there was nothing surprising about her writing a long column for The Wall Street Journal about the future of the music industry. Yet there’s reason to doubt the optimism of what she had to say.
“This moment in music is so exciting because the creative avenues an artist can explore are limitless,” Swift wrote. “In this moment in music, stepping out of your comfort zone is rewarded, and sonic evolution is not only accepted…it is celebrated. The only real risk is being too afraid to take a risk at all.”
That’s hard to reconcile with Nielsen’s mid-year U.S. music report, which showed a 15 percent yеar-on-year drop in album sales and a 13 percent decline in digital track sales. This could be the 2013 story all over again, in which streaming services cannibalize their growth from digital downloads, whose numbers dropped for the first time ever last year, except that even including streams, album sales are down 3.3 percent so far in 2014. Streaming has grown even more than it did last year, 42 percent compared to 32 percent, but has failed to make up for a general loss of interest in music.
Consider this: in 2014 to date, Americans purchased 593.6 million digital tracks and heard 70.3 million video and audio streams for a sum total of 663.9 million. In the comparable period of 2013, the total came to 731.7 million.
Swift, one of the few artists able to pull off stadium tours, believes it's all about quality. “People are still buying albums, but now they’re buying just a few of them,” she wrote. “They are buying only the ones that hit them like an arrow through the heart.”
In 2000, album sales peaked at 785 million. Last year, they were down to 415.3 million. Swift is right, but for many of the artists whose albums pierce hearts like arrows, it’s too late. Sales of vinyl albums have increased 40.4 percent so far this year, according to Nielsen, and the top-selling one was guitar hero Jack White’s Lazaretto. The top 10 also includes records by the aging or dead, such as the Beatles and Bob Marley & the Wailers. More modern entries are not exactly teen sensations, either: the Black Keys, Beck and the Arctic Monkeys. None of these artists is present on the digital sales charts, including or excluding streams. The top-selling album so far this year, by a huge margin, is the saccharine soundtrack to the Disney animated hit, Frozen.
When, like me, you’re over 40 and you believe the music industry has been in decline since in 1993 (the year Nirvana released In Utero), it’s easy to criticize the music taste of “the kids these days,” a term even the 23-year old Swift uses. My fellow dinosaurs will understand if they compare 1993’s top albums to Nielsen’s 2014 list. But these kids don't just like to listen to different music than we do, they no longer find much worth hearing.
The way the music industry works now may have something to do with that. In the old days, musicians showed their work to industry executives, the way most book authors still do to publishers (although that tradition, too, is eroding). The executives made mistakes and were credited with brilliant finds. Sometimes they followed the public taste, and sometimes they strove to shape it, taking big financial and career risks in the process. These days, according to Swift, it’s all about the social networks. “A friend of mine, who is an actress, told me that when the casting for her recent movie came down to two actresses, the casting director chose the actress with more Twitter followers,” Swift wrote. “In the future, artists will get record deals because they have fans — not the other way around.”
The social networks are fickle and self-consciously sarcastic (see the recent potato salad phenomenon). They are not about arrow-through-the-heart sincerity. That's why YouTube made Psy a star, but it couldn’t have been the medium for Beatlemania. Justin Timberlake has 32.9 million Twitter followers, but he’s no Jack White.
In the music industry’s heyday, it produced a lot of schlock. But it got great music out to the masses, too. These days, it expects artists to do their own promotion and for those who less good at that than at making music, it may mean not getting heard. For fans it means less good music to stream and download. Well, there’s always the warm and fuzzy world of vinyl nostalgia, I guess.
26、How does the writer perceive Swift’s attitude towards the future of the music industry?
A She is no doubt over-optimistic about it.
B She is too young to make a reliable judgment.
C She is professional enough predicate it wisely.
D She doesn’t follow what others have said about it.
答案解析:
考查作者的态度
根据第一段最后一句“Yet there’s reason to doubt the optimism of what she had to say.” 可见作者对Taylor在华尔街时报上发表的言论并不买账,认为音乐的前景并不像她所说的那样可观。综上,A选项正确。
故正确答案为A项。
27、Why is music industry declining in the writer’s view?
A The music world is increasingly dominated by self-centered people.
B The music industry favors musicians who have more social network.
C Modern musicians are no longer taking risks when composing music.
D Many musicians are not willing to promote their music on the Internet.
答案解析:
考查推断
根据最后一段第三、四句可以看出,由于很多创作型歌手自我推销能力不够强,社交网不宽泛,导致在现在的市场中他们并不容易为人所知,好作品也得不到传播。综上,B选项正确。
故正确答案为B项。
28、What does the underlined word “that” in PARAGRAPH EIGHT refer to?
A Kid’s music taste.
B 1993’s top album.
C Nielsen’s 2014 list.
D The music industry.
答案解析:
考查指代
根据第七段第一句“When, like me, you’re over 40 and you believe the music industry has been in decline since in 1993 (the year Nirvana released in Utero), it’s easy to criticize the music taste of ‘the kids these days,’ a term even the 23-year old Swift uses.”可知现在的音乐市场不景气,很容易被人认为是由于现在的孩子对音乐的喜好与作者那时代的人不一样。所以第八段中 “the way the music industry works now may have something to do with that.” 中的that 指代的就是孩子的音乐喜好(kid’s music taste)。综上,A选项正确。
故正确答案为A项。
29、Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined word “heyday” in the Last PARAGRAPH?
A Bad moment.
B Golden time.
C Rush hour.
D Lucky day.
答案解析:
考查词义
heyday所在的句子为“In the music industry ’s heyday, it produced a lot of schlock. But, it got great music out to the masses, too.” 可以看出,这两句用一般过去时,叙述的是音乐界过去的辉煌成就,句意为“在音乐的黄金时代,虽然作品参差不齐,但也为大众带来了许多经典音乐”。综上,B选项正确。
故正确答案为B项。
30、Why does the writer fell nostalgic about vinyl albums?
A A. They mainly cater for young people.
B They promote music for people over 40.
C They rely on social networks in their distribution.
D They contain music that could touch people’s hearts.
答案解析:
考查推断
本题可以使用排除法。
A项说的是现在音乐市场的行情,故排除。
B项歪曲了文中作者要表达的意思,而且很明显黑胶唱片并不是专为四十岁以上的人欣赏的,故排除。
C项说的是现在音乐市场的行情,故排除。
D项“怀旧唱片动人心弦”,根据倒数第三段中介绍的以前发行唱片的步骤,可以看出当时的音乐是精心制作的,而且音乐制作人还会冒险去做创新,可见当时的音乐动人心弦的理由。综上,D选项正确。
故正确答案为D项。
四、简答题
31、课堂互动(classroom interaction)是重要的教学活动形式。请列出课堂互动中人际互动的四种形式(8分),简述其中两种形式的使用场景并分析其利弊。(12分)
正确答案:
(1)课堂教学中的人际互动是指课堂教学中发生于参与教学活动各人员之间的相互影响与交互作用。按照不同的分类标准,可以分出不同的互动类型。从互动主体来划分,可以分为教师和学生两个方面,教师方面主要以个体呈现, 学生方面可以以多个个体、若干学习小组、一个群体呈现。对这四种主体两两组合,就可以区分出多种互动类型: 教师与学生个体、教师与学生小组、教师与全体学生、学生个体与个体、学主个体与小组、学生个体与全体、学生小组与小组、学生小组与全体。(列出其中四种即可)
(2)①教师与学生全体之间的互动:
这是最常见的课堂人际互动类型。使用情最:教师在教学导人、讲授重点知识技能、课堂提问、教学评价、课堂练习等环节多使用此种类型。利:此时教师面向全体学生,充分控制着课堂交往的主动性。学生可以在单位时间内获得大量的信息,并以群体的形式向教师进行反馈。弊:互动针对性较差,容易忽略某些学生的问题。
②学生个体与学生全体之间的互动:
使用情景: 教师提出问题或要求,学生个体在全班学生面前进行示范、表演或发表观点时其他学生与之呼应所发生的互动。利:这种互动类型由于互动对象无明确指向以及互动主题不确定,因此所有学生均处在积极思考状态,最易激起思维的火花,是一种学生个体资源群体分享的过程。弊:课堂秩序可能因此变得混乱,课堂节奏容易失控。
答案解析:
本题考查课堂互动类型。
答题思路的点拨:课堂互动类型两种(1)教师与学生之间的活动;类型:教师与学生个体、教师与学生小组、教师与学生全体。(2)学生与学生之间的活动;类型:学生个体与个体、学生个体与小组、学生个体与学生全体、学生小组与小组、学生与小组群体。
注意:学生与学生间的活动设计要形式多样,如同桌讨论、小组合作学习、小组调查、小组竞赛;生生互动还要有不同的课型。如听说课、阅读课、写作课、复习课、试题评讲课。

33、(2)王老师的角色定位存在什么问题(5分)?深层原因是什么?(5分)
正确答案:
(2)王老师的角色定位存在的问题:王老师在整个教学过程中只是一味地讲授和纠错,整个课堂都是以老师为中心,很少有以学生为主体的活动,错误地定位了教师的课堂角色。新课标要求教师不仅是知识的传输者,更应该是学生学习的促进者。包括教师为学生创造积极的学习环境,运用多种策略激发学生的学习动机,引导学生制定和评价学习计划,培养学生的学习策略等。总之,教师的角色是多元化的, 并随着社会的发展不断发生变化。深层原因:王老师对于新课程标准的理念理解不到位,没有真正认识到“以教师为主导,以学生为主体”的教学要求,没有转变教师教学观念,做到与时俱进,没有及时地提高自己的专业素养,不断地在教中去学,教学相长。
答案解析:
略
34、(3)英语教师应该如何定位自己的课堂角色?(5分)
正确答案:
(3)教师定位课堂角色应在新课程理念的指导下,根据以“教师为主导,学生为主体”的教学原则,转变自己在教学中的角色,不应仅仅是知识的传授者,还应成为学生学习的掘进者、指导者、组织者、帮助者、参与者和合作者。教学的过程是教师与学生交流的互动课程,教师需要根据课程的目标、学习的要求、学习过程的需要以及学生的需要扮演不同的角色。教师要有意识地引导学生发展自主学习能力,使学生真正成为学习的主体。
答案解析:
评价教师的角色应从新课标理念入手,以“教师为主导,学生为主体”,成为学生学习的促进者、指导者、组织者、帮助者、参与者和合作者,发挥学生自主学习能力。
