英语智商和环境的阅读
1. 一道英语阅读题
有些人是天生的聪明,还是天生就愚蠢呢?抑或是我们的智慧和经验的环境发展?奇怪的是,这些问题的答案是肯定的。
在某种程度上,我们的智力是天生的,不能够造就天才教育的孩子与生俱来的智力低。
另一方面,一个生活在乏味环境的孩子智力发展比生活在丰富多彩的环境中的孩子智力发展慢。因此,人们的智力范围是天生的,但是他是否能够达到他智力范围的极限取决于他所生活的环境。这种观点,可以在许多方面得到专家的支持。
很容易发现,智力程度在一定程度上是我们与生俱来的。两个人之间的血缘关系越近,他们的智力程度越相似。因此,如果我们采取随机抽样人口两个不相干的人,很可能他们的智力程度将完全不同。换句话说,两个同卵双胞胎的智力程度会非常相似。兄弟和姐妹,父母和孩子,通常也有相似的智力程度,这清楚地表明,智力很大程度上取决于天生情况。
将两个同卵双胞胎,他们在不同的环境。例如,大学和做着枯燥工作的工厂。我们很快就会发现,在智力发展方面的差异,这表明环境和天生都会影响智力的发展。
这一结论还指出,密切生活的两个人,智力也有可能会很相似。

51. C(首先To some extent our intelligence is given to us at birth, 然后It is easy to show that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with.所以是两个都是因素)
52. C(根据no amount of ecation can make a genius out of a child born with low intelligence.原句的意思是其实没有教育也可以是一个天才从智力不高的孩子中脱颖而出。)
53. 没有划线句呀 楼主!
54. B(说明两个同卵双胞胎在不同环境下智力发展程度不同)
55. B(文章主要说明了智力谁是受先天和后天同时影响的。)
2. 谈英语阅读教学中逻辑数理智力的培养:逻辑-数理智力的名词解释
摘 要:本文简要阐述了加德纳逻辑数理智力的含义,以及它和英语阅读的相关性,并探讨了在英语阅读教学中培养学生逻辑数理智力的途径和方法。 关键词:英语阅读 逻辑数理智力 培养 途径和方法
一、问题的提出
众所周知,英语阅读是理解和吸袜野收书面信息的手段,是英语学习的主要目的之一,侧重培养学生的阅读理解能力是英语学习步入高阶段后英语教学的重要任务。这种综合阅读能力包括语篇领悟能力和语言解码能力,注重培养学生的语篇分析能力、判断能力和逻辑推理能力,所以教师在英语阅读教学中要努力探索发展学生思维的可行办法和途径,力求将英语阅读训练与思维训练结合起来,以期达到发展学生思维、培养能力的目的。
近年来,各级考试阅读理解题目中涉及低能力要求的事实和细节题逐步减少,而涉及较高能力的语篇分析、文章概括、上下文推理、对语言的深层次含义的理解题目逐步增加,无论是对词、句的理解,还是对语篇的理解都需要借助推理,都需要进行抽象思维、逻辑思维才能得出语篇中不曾明确表述但又蕴含其中的意义,因此,这对学生的分析、推理、概括和抽象逻辑思维等综合能力与加工处理信息的能力提出了更高的要求。然而在平时的教学中,我们发现我们的学生就缺少这些思维能力。
所以,在语言学习的过程中,在培养语言智力的同时,如何培养学生逻辑思维智力,就显得尤为必要了。
二、逻辑数理智力的含义和特征
逻辑数理智力是美国哈佛大学著名心理学家加德纳(Howard Gardner)于20世纪80年代所提出的人类所有的七种或更多智力之一。他认为,这种智力包括三个宽泛而又互相联系的领域:数学、科学和逻辑。它主要指数学和思维方面的能力,包括推理和运算的能力。加德纳将逻辑数理智力描述为一种包括多类型思维的智力,加德纳认为逻辑数理智力包括许多方面:数学计算,逻辑思维,问题解决,演绎推理,归纳推理,以及辨认模式和关系。逻辑数理智力是认识和解决问题的能力。
三、逻辑数理智力和英语阅读的相关性
逻辑数理能力涵盖数学、科学和逻辑三个领域,它主要指数学和思维方面的能力,包括推理和运算的能力。外语属于文科,似乎与逻辑数理没有联系。其实不然,英语学科同样拥有某些数学概念,如数量、时间、因果、排列、组合、对称、编码等,掌握和应用这些概念可以促进外语习得。
阅读是语言输入的主要途径。在英语阅读教学中,教师采用不同的提问策略,提出开放性问题,让学生预测和改变逻辑结果等能够增强他们的逻辑思维能力,使逻辑数理智力在思考和学习中发挥更大的作用。例如,指导学生根据语篇线索(如注释性线索、同义词/近义词线索、反义词线索和语境线索等)猜测不熟悉的语言现象;理清句子基本结构,整合文本的意义,推断文本主题;根据语篇中已知的信息预测和推理故事情节的发展和结果;根据字面意思、语篇的逻辑关系以及细节的暗示,推敲作者的态度,深层理解文章的寓意;根据所读内容用文字按逻辑顺序表述主题等,这些阅读训练具有挑战性,都能够培养和锻炼学生的数理逻辑能力(黄远振,2003)。
美国的琳达・坎贝尔也认为教师应该运用一些教学策略将数理逻辑思维整合到不同的学科领域中去,这样,逻辑数理智力不仅得到训练,而且逻辑数理智力的训练与提高对今后的思维和学习都将起到巨大的促进作昌含用。
四、英语阅读教学中逻辑数理智力培养的方法与途径
基于对逻辑数理智力本质的认识,以及对它和英语阅读相关性的探究,教师在英语阅读教学中可以从以下几个方面进行探索和尝试,来培养耐好笑逻辑数理思维智力:
1. 指导学生根据语篇线索,猜测不熟悉的语言现象
(1) 根椐定义或解释猜测词义
e.g A calendar is a list of the days,weeks,months of a particular year.
通过is后面的解释可知该词为“日历”
(2) 根据对比、对称关系猜测词义
根据上下文内容,通过对比、对称关系,即同义语(以or,that is,破折号,同位语连接)、反义语(but,while,however,although等连接)等来猜测,知道其中一个词便可猜出另一个。
e.g Though Tom’s face has been washed quite clean,his neck still remains grubby.
这里grubby与clean意思相对,故该词的意思为“肮脏的”。
If you agree,write “yes”,if you dissent,write“no”.
这里agree与dissent意思相对,故该词意为“不同意”。
(3) 根据因果关系猜测词义
常用“so…that…”;“so…”或“because…”连接,当这些信息词出现在有生词的句中,通过因果关系,依据已知部分,就能猜出生词的含义。
e.g He failed the exam because none of his answers was pertinent to the questions.
根据原因状语从句和none可推知该词应为“close”。
The young boy was so bashful that he didn’t speak to the pretty girl.
从that引导的结果状语从句看,可猜出该词为“shy”。
(4)根据常识及上下文猜测不熟悉语言现象
运用逻辑推理能力、自身的生活经验及生活常识,再结合上下文的意思就可以正确推知生词的意思。
e.g If a man feels very cold,he always huddles himself up.
根据常识及经验可推出此短语意思为“缩成一团”。
2. 指导学生理清句子基本结构,按逻辑顺序,推断文本主题
英语文章有这样的特点,段落是构建在主题的基础之上。在阅读的过程中要去思考、去分析,归纳、总结段落所涉及到的各个信息如何为文章主题服务的,如何使文章的主题更明了、更突出。段落的主题明确了,那么阐述说明主题的句在段落中又是如何衔接在一起的,使之成为一段连贯的、有意义的文字。作者一方面运用一些具体的连接手段,使句与句之间像链索一样衔接在一起;另一方面,作者也运用逻辑关系使其所有的思想有逻辑而清楚地互相关联。一般说来,一个段落中的细节:
(1) 可以依其重要性,由轻而重地安排;
(2) 可以依其时间发生的顺序,由先而后地陈述;
(3) 可以依其空间的位置,顺次交待;
(4) 可以用演绎的方式,由结论而至细节性逐一证明;
(5) 可以以归纳的方法,由诸多细节的陈述,从而得出统一的结论。
了解细节的逻辑安排方法,有助于我们了解句与句之间的关系,段与段的关系,在此基础上,就可以很容易地追踪到作者的思想脉络,从而迅速有效地判断各段落以及文章整体的内容,这样学生才可以理解文章的大意,推断文本主旨。老师可经常提问以下类似问题:
The text is mainly about______________.
The writer wrote this article in order to______________.
This text is mostly probably taken from a ______________.
The best headline for this article is ______________.
What can be the best title for this text?等。
3. 指导学生根据语篇中已知的信息,推测故事情节的发展和结果
这种语篇一般会开头向读者显示这段文字的体裁、形式、涉及内容和写作意图,读者就可以从已知信息开始,层层推理,依次推进,直至高潮,而后结局,环环相扣,条理清晰。教师可经常提如下问题:
What can you predict in the future?
What would more likely happen next?
According to the author’s view,what would be the result of the story?等。
4. 指导学生根据文章细节、事实及暗示,合理判断,深层理解文章的寓意
在阅读中,读了一篇文章后,往往要对其中的一些内容作出合理的推理和判断,这通常涉及到常识推理、逻辑推理和暗示推理三种情况,这三种情况都应根据文章意思、语篇的逻辑关系以及细节的暗示,推敲作者的态度,深层理解文章的寓意,其结论必须符合文章逻辑或常规道理,不能以个人观点代替。常见的推理判断问题有:事实推理、态度语气推理、观点推理、原因推理、结论推理、写作目的推理等。可经常提如下问题:
What can you learn from the text?
It can be concluded that the passage is mainly written for ______________.
The main purpose of the writing this text is to______________.
The author would agree that______________.
The author’s attitude towards the subject is______________.
What does the passage imply?等。
五、结束语
实践证明,在英语阅读教学中锻炼学生的逻辑数理思维,就是培养学生养成观察、分析、概括、计算、逻辑推理等思维习惯,发展思维,这样,不仅能够培养学生的语言智力,还可以培养学生的逻辑数理智力,而逻辑数理智力的提高又必将为学生今后的思考和学习起到巨大的推动作用。当然逻辑数理智力的提高不是突如其来的,也不是孤立的,它是建立在感性思维基础之上,并和感性思维相互融合的,需要一个逐渐发展的过程,因此,在英语阅读教学过程中,教师和学生需要长期配合,共同努力,多探索有效可行的方法和途径,达到培养思维、提高能力的目的。

Are some people born clever, and others born stupid Or is intelligence developed by our environment or experience Strangely enough, the answer to both questions is yes。
On the one hand, if we take two people at random from the crowd, it is very likely that their degrees of intelligence will be completely different. However, if we take two identical twins, chances are that they will be as intelligent as each other. Therefore, a conclusion can be drawn that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. The closer the blood relationship between two people, the closer they are likely to be in intelligence。
On the other hand, though, if we put two identical twins in different environments, for example, we might send one to university and the other to a factory where the work is boring, we would find differences in their intelligence several years later, which indicates that environment does play a crucial role in our intelligence。
Just as every coin has two sides, our intelligence is partly born and partly developed. The sure way to develop our intelligence is intelligent parents as well as a good environment.
4. 保护环境的英语短文阅读
随着社会经济的快速发展,我国在取得了不少举世瞩目成就的同时,也出现了环境问题,发展经济与保护环境已经形成了一个尖锐的矛盾。这是世界共同关注的问题,也是我国近来日趋关心的焦点。我精心收集了保护环境的英语短文,供大家欣赏学习!
保护环境的英语短文篇1
Many people are active in fighting against unfair treatment to colored people, women , animals and so on. Right now I am talking about fighting for respect to our environment. Though the environment doesn’t have a mouth to deprecate what humans have done to her, she retaliates through action. In the early years the Chinese cut down large quantities of trees, at the source of the yellow river, which led to the disappearance of big forests and terrible floods.
As a result,the Huangtu plateau which was once covered with grass and forests was turned into barrens that supported fewer plants. Another example was in several developed countries. Because many chemical factories discharged poisonous gas without filtering it, cities were covered with so much poisonous gas that people were killed by the air they breathed in. What horrible scene! What we are suffering is only a small part of what the nature once suffered. If we don’t take action to show respect to the environment, we will have to face an increasingly awful situation. Measures should be taken to protect the environment on which we are relying.
First governments should forbid destroying vegetation, rivers and lakes, oceans, as and the atmosphere as well. Second voices should be made to announce the public of the importance of protecting the environment. Third enterprises should pay special attention to the effect they have on the environment and work out solutions for the problems. Only by changing the way we treat the environment can we get along well with it. Only by saving the environment can we save ourselves.
保护环境的英语短文篇2
Man and His Environment
Throughout history man has changed his physical environment in order to improve his way of life. With the tools of technology he has altered many physical features of the earth. He has transformed woodlands and prairies into farms and made lakes and reserviors out of rivers for irrigation purposes or hydroelectric power. Man has also modified the face of the earth by draining marshes and cutting through mountains to build roads and railways.
However, man's changes to the physical environment have not always had beneficial results. Today, pollution of the air and water is an increasing danger to the health of the planet. Each day thousands of tons of gases come out of the exhausts of motor vehicles. Smoke from factories pollutes the air of instrialized areas and the surrounding areas of the countryside. The pollution of water is equally harmful. The whole ecological balance of the sea is being changed and instrial wastes have already made many rivers lifeless.
Now environmental protection is more pressing than ever before. As we know, massive destruction of environment has brought about negative effects and even poses a great threat to man's existence. Indifference to these problems will mean committing suicide. Therefore, effective measures should be taken and laws passed to conserve environment. Otherwise,man is certain to suffer from the serious consequences caused by this lack of care for his living surroundings.
保护环境的英语短文篇3
There are still many problems of environmental protection in recent years. One of the most serious problems is the serious pollution of air, water and soil. the polluted air does great harm to people's health. The polluted water causes diseases and death. What is more, vegetation had been greatly reced with the rapid growth of modern cities.
To protect the environment, governments of many countries have done a lot. Legislative steps have been introced to control air pollution, to protect the forest and sea resources and to stop any environmental pollution. Therefore, governments are playing the most important role in the environmental protection today.
In my opinion, to protect environment, the government must take even more concrete measures. First, it should let people fully realize the importance of environmental protection through ecation. Second, much more efforts should be made to put the population planning policy into practice, because more people means more people means more pollution. Finally, those who destroy the environment intentionally should be severely punished. We should let them know that destroying environment means destroying mankind themselves.
目前环保还存在着许多问题。最严重的问题就是空气、水和土壤的严重污染。污染的空气对人类的健康十分有害。污染的水引起疼病,造成死亡。更有甚者,随着现代社会的迅速扩建,植被大大的减少。
为了保护环境,各国政府做了大量的工作。采用了立法 措施 控制大气污染,保护森林资源和海洋资源,制止任何环境污染。因此,在当今的环保中政府起着最重要的作用。
我的看法是,为了保护环境,政府应当采取更具体的措施。首先,应当通过 教育 的 方法 使人们充分謒到环境保护的重要性。第二,应更加努力把计划生育政策付诸实施,因为人口多就意味着污染严重。最后,要严惩那些故意破坏环境者。使他们破坏环境就是毁灭人类自己。
5. 英文分级阅读读什么最好
绝大多数家长都很重视孩子的英语阅读,值得注意的是,培养阅读能力需要根据孩子的语言程度循序渐进。想让孩子在阅读中快乐地成长、晋级,需要帮助孩子找到适合的书。只有阅读的英语书适合孩子,才能逐渐培养起孩子的阅读兴趣。而在英美国家,则会利用分级读物作为孩子课外阅读的框架,让孩子更系统、更科学地学习英语。一套权威的分级读物,能帮助爸爸妈妈们理清启蒙的思路,起到事半功倍的效果。
那么什么是分级阅读呢?
所谓分级阅读,就是按照孩子在不同年龄段的智力和心理发育程度为他们提供的阅读计划(由具体的分级读物组成),这些阅读计划一般出自教育专家、专业出版社,比较具有科学性、针对性、系统性。
分级阅读的最大作用是帮助孩子们学习语言、培养阅读能力。
怎样选择适合孩子的分级读物?
目前的英文分级读物有数种选择,像牛津阅读树、海尼曼、斯伯恩图书馆系列、RAZ系列都是超有名的,给孩子选分级读物在这几套里面选绝对不会出错。而今天呢,我们为家长们推荐的,就是5套顶级英文分级读物牛津阅读树、海尼曼、企鹅阅读、斯考特福斯曼、RAZ系列!以上全是英语分级阅读里面的经典之作。
第一套《牛津阅读树》。
全球有133个国家用《牛津阅读树》作为外语学习教材,在中国更有很多学费在每年10万以上的国际学校都使用这套教材进行教学。
甚至由《牛津阅读树》节选改编而成的“典范英语”现已被包括中国人民大学附属中学、北京市第四中学等名校在内的上百所北京市中小学指定为原版英语教材。
《牛津阅读树》讲述Kipper一家日常生活中一个个引人入胜的幽默、有趣的故事,轻松引导小朋友投入英文阅读环境中,在不知不觉间爱上英语。非常适合用来给小朋友平时泛听泛读,培养英语语感。
牛津阅读树为什么能让孩子如此着迷?
1、最科学的分级读物
整个体系就像一棵树,有一个非常明确的主干,让孩子的阅读就像爬树一样拾阶而上。
2、词句精炼易于学习掌握
牛津阅读树由作者耗时二十多年精心编写,书中的一字一句,一图一画可都是经过反复推敲和研究的,牛津阅读树的前几级涉及的词汇都很简单,但作者偏偏能用最浅显的词汇,最简单简短的句子讲出一个个有趣的故事,超级适合培养孩子坚持学英语的兴趣。
3、故事全部来源于生活,孩子更愿意阅读
故事情节来源于生活,生动有趣。这套书的主人公是小朋友Biff一家和他们的小狗Floppy,搞笑的家庭竞赛,堆雪人的意外,跳蚤市场体验,这些看似普通、日常的`生活场景,读来倍感亲切,而作者总能在最后来个神来之笔惹人哈哈大笑。
4、每本书都有一个小游戏,巩固孩子学习效果
值得一提的是,每本书的最后还会有一个小游戏,比如找不同、走迷宫,图画捉迷藏,都让孩子爱不释手,孩子从一本书中获得的乐趣越多,这本书就会在他心里刻上深深的印记。
再来看看配套动画片《神奇之钥》
《神奇之钥》旨在协助4至10岁儿童发展英文阅读技巧,完全根据《牛津阅读树》改编而成,孩子可以在动画片中像爬树一样拾级而上,学习到大量地道的英国文化,建立起学习英语的信心,享受到阅读的乐趣。
Kipper、 Biff、 Chip 和他们的朋友 Wilf, Wilma和小狗狗 Floppy 一起,加入神奇的动画之旅!此合集首次惊人地收集了神奇之钥的25个小故事,播放时间达到了令人惊异的6小时,一定会成为小朋友的最爱,并一遍一遍的观看。
《牛津阅读树》这样的世界顶级分级阅读读物,深入英语国家普通人的生活中,孩子不仅能够从中学到原汁原味的英语,更重要的是体会人家的文化和生活。
第二套海尼曼分级读物。
海尼曼堪称是大人孩子都超认可的分级读物,是专门针对非英语母语国家儿童学习英语的一套分级阅读教材。这套书,在数量上绝对能够领先所有同类读物。它有多到令人崩溃的298本!
它分为3个阶段,每个等级难度从易到难排列:
Heinemann GK系列 适合零基础人群阅读(共70本)
Heinemann G1系列 适合幼儿园至一年级孩子阅读(共110本)
Heinemann G2系列 适合一年级至三年级孩子阅读(共118本)
海尼曼的内容涵盖很广,自然科学、人物、人文、地理等,多姿多彩,不仅仅有卡通图片,还有很多都是真实的图片,真实而具有冲击力,使英语更加贴近儿童生活,同时故事也非常有趣,能让孩子懂得更多知识。
它的编排符合儿童的学习规律,简单而不断重复,又在重复中不经意地输入一些组句语法,让孩子在没有接触语法的前提下,学会正确表达。
GK中的My Family这册书中,用句比较简单,分别向孩子讲述了小兔子家里所有人的爱好。重复使用了This is xxx,xxx likes to...的句式,有利于孩子记忆。
G1阶段难度有所提升,这一册讲的是Pets宠物,同样是重复排比的句式。分别告诉了孩子们猫、狗、老鼠、鸟、鱼等动物的名词。
在G2阶段,难度更为提高,同时也更为贴近生活,比如Kim's New Shoes这册,以对话形式,帮助孩子学习单词和句式。
从这三个阶段的例子中,我们能看出,从开始貌似简单的每页一句,到后来的每页三句,不断重复,层层递进。到第三册已经包括了人称的变化、单复数的变化,新句式的增加,逐步加深孩子记忆。这种有序而平稳的进阶也是很少有分级读物能做到的。量的积累后,你会看到孩子质的飞跃。不过更为值得注意的是,书中更宣扬了一些价值观,团结友爱,亲情等美好情感都有所体现。所以,这不仅是一套英语分级读物,还能够培养孩子的情商。难能可贵。
第三套Penguin Readers企鹅分级读物
企鹅分级读物,一共有三个系列:Penguin Readers、Penguin Active Reading、Penguin Young Readers。今天推荐给家长们的是Penguin Readers的,一共99本彩色绘本PDF,中小学生都可以用。
按里面的分类,主要是现代流行、经典名著和精彩原创三大类,题材就很广了,名人轶事、名著、电影、戏剧...各种都有,读起来不会很生硬无趣。页面都比较清爽,都是章节书所以还是需要孩子有一定的词汇储备。
Penguin Readers是英国培生教育集团出品的分级读物,其特点是系统的反映英国的文化、社会。主要有三大类:英国社会文化,英语传统文学简写,英语流行文学简写。
第四套《斯考特福斯曼》。
幼儿园阶段起,到G6阶段(小学六年级)的单词量已经相当于我国高中英语的单词量,干货满满。这套教材,不仅可以用来学英文,同时也能够学习科学、社科、文化等知识,是全方位接触英语国家文化的最佳教材,不可多得。
以GK(Grade Kindergarten)为例,它专为英语国家幼儿园的孩子所设计。内容包括:
Decodable Readers——phonics自然拼读教材的巩固读物,可配任何一套phonics自然拼读教材
Emergent Readers——该年纪孩子刚刚能勉强独立阅读的水平
Leveled Readers——平均阅读水平能阅读的材料
Leveled Science Readers——平均阅读能力的孩子阅读的科学方面的材料
On-Level Readers——平均阅读水平能阅读的材料,但比上面的Leveled Readers稍微简单些,适合孩子独立阅读
Social Studies Leveled Readers——平均阅读能力的孩子阅读的社会生活方面的材料
在《colors around me》这一课为例:
其中的音频里就会读出各种颜色的单词:red blue yellow green orange.....
然后让孩子将图片中提供的物品颜色与英语单词相结合,不经意间,就让孩子记住了单词的含义。
教材中不仅有语言教学内容,还包含地道的美式文化:
比如这一课,就介绍了乔治·华盛顿。
除了语言学习和社科方面,科学内容也是这套教材的一大特色:
比如这一课就介绍了天气和季节,让孩子从小就爱上自然。
这一套资源中的PDF并非扫描版,画质非常清晰,色彩明艳,非常能够吸引孩子的注意力。而教材配套的mp3,也是非常纯正的美音,让孩子从小就接触正宗的美式文化。
第五套Reading a-z(RAZ)分级阅读教材。
这套分级阅读教材按照孩子不同年龄段的心智发育程度提供科学性、针对性的英语阅读内容。
Reading A-Z(RAZ)分Level A至Level Z共27个级别(Reading A-Z在Level A之前有个Level aa,Level aa是给零基础孩子准备的,内容是看图认单词)。
Reading A-Z(RAZ)难度递增,到后面就是大段大段的长难句的科普文章了,大多数孩子,也就能坚持到Reading A-Z(RAZ)的Level H-O,后面真心比较难,很多英语很好的大人也不见得都能完全看懂。
家长和孩子在使用这套资源时,可以先看电子绘本预习一下,然后充分利用资料中的MP3和Flash调动孩子的兴趣,Flash是可以让孩子自行翻页学习的用手机、Ipad都可以直接点读学习的,MP3是纯正的美音,孩子可以进行跟读。
此外,在Reading A-Z(RAZ)中还有一些非常有趣的小故事,当孩子有一些英语阅读能力,甚至是可以熟练地自主阅读一些英文故事时,这时家长可以孩子尝试共读,并鼓励孩子去改编故事、改写结局,这种形式特别能提升孩子的英语表达能力。
按照这样一步一步的多看、多听、多读、多做,一定会对孩子英语水平的提高起到促进作用。想要孩子将英语学成母语,大量的阅读输入是关键!
6. 关于环保的英语对话阅读
英语对话教学是中学英语教学的重要组成部分,它对提高学生英语口语水平,培养学生的语言交际能力都有很大的作用。在英语教学实践中,由于受到各种因素的影响,对话教学没有得到应有的重视。下面是我精心收集的关于环保的英语对话,希望大家喜欢!
关于环保的英语对话篇一
杰克: I think the biggest environment problem in my country is air pollution.
我觉得我们国家最大的环境问题是空气污染。
凯西: Yes, I agree. The air here is much more polluted than in my country. Of course, my country is more agricultural and has much less instry.
我同意。这里的空气污染比我们国家严重多了。当然,我们国家农业比重比较大.工业比重比较小。
杰克: We have reced emission of air pollutants in recent years, but cars are still a major source of them. Factories have bee cleaner as stricter environment pollution law have been introced.
我们这些年也在减少有害气体排放量,但是汽车废气排放依然是空气污染的主要原因.随着环境保护法的颁布。工业废气排放没有以前严重了。
凯西: The problem is now on a truly global scale. I don`t believe that any single country can do anything about it.
问题是现在的问题是个全球性问题。我不认为单凭一个国家的力量就能解决问题。
杰克: I think you`re right. There needs to be an international response to this problem.??
你说得对。环境问题需要全世界的国家负起责任来共同合作解决。
关于环保的英语对话篇二
M: what did you do over the weekend?
K: I went a global warming rally in London. It was fantastic to be around so many people whocare about the environment.
M: do you think there's anything we can do to reverse the damage that's been done already?
K: it might not be possible to fix the problems that we've created for ourselves, but there arelots of things we can do to prevent more damages from happening.
M: like what?
K: well, we can use public transport instead of taking our cars for a start.
M: what else can we do to protect the environment?
K: if you do have to drive, you should make sure that your car runs on unleaded petrol. Also,your home should use sources of renewable energy.
M: how about recycling? Does that actually help?
K: yes. You should take your glass, paper, plastic, cardboard, and tin cans to a recyclingcenter.
M: what do you think is the biggest worry for our future?
K: I think that the issue of greatest concern is having enough sources of clean water foreveryone.
M: I had no idea you were such as environmentalist before!
K: to be honest, in order for the earth to continue to be a habitable place, we're all going tohave to bee more interested in the environment.
这个周末你都干什么了?
我到伦敦去参加一个有关全球变暖的 *** .周围有那么多人都在关注环境问题,可真是好事!
我觉得要想逆转目前我们队环境的破坏,有什么能做的吗?
我们自己酿成的恶果已经不大可能解决了,但是为了防止情况继续恶化下去我们还是有很多事情可以做的.
比如那些?
恩,大家可以乘坐公共交通设施代替自驾车.
想要保护环境还有什么其他可做?
如果非开车不可,那一定要用无铅汽油.而且,家里一定要坚持使用可持续能源.
废物回收呢?这有帮助吗?
有的.玻璃,纸张,塑料,硬板纸盒罐头盒都可以送进回收中心.
那你觉得未来最令人担忧的是什么问题?
我觉得最大的问题是是否有足够的水资源够每个人使用.
我以前还真不知道你是个环保主义者.
坦白说,为了让地球能够一直适合人类居住,我们都应该多关注环保问题.
关于环保的英语对话篇三
Interviewer: Today, I'm interviewing nine-year-old Alex about her feelings on how people can help save the environment. So, Alex, how can we save the environment?
Alex: By saving water.
Interviewer: Well, how can we do that?
Alex: By not using too much water when we wash dishes, take a bath, and when we do other things, like watering the plants outside.
Interviewer: Oh, I think I can do that. What else?
Alex: When drinking or eating something outside, you should keep the garbage until you find a trashcan to put it in because littering makes our planet dirty. Do you like seeing trash all over the ground?
Interviewer: No, I don't. Do you have any final suggestions?
Alex: Yes. We shouldn't waste paper because trees are being cut down to make the paper. By recycling paper, we save the forests where animals live.
Interviewer: So, how can children recycle paper, I mean, everyday?
Alex: Well, for example, when I was in kindergarten, I used to save the newspapers so that I could make things make out of them, like paper trees, instead of just throwing them away. Now, the children in our neighborhood collect newspapers once a month to take them to a recycling center.
Interviewer: That's great. Well thanks Alex for your ideas.

一,英语阅读能力对英语学习的重要性
对于将英语作为外语的中国人来说,英语阅读不仅是英语学习的目的,而且是英语学习的主要手段和途径。英语阅读技能不仅是最重要的语言技能之一,也是学生必须掌握的学习技能之一。英语阅读能力是发展其他语言技能的基础和前提。
二,英语阅读能力的分析
阅读是一种言语活动。在这过程中所表现出来的能力,被称为“阅读能力”或“阅读理解能力。”要具备这种能力,还必须具备丰富的知识结构。一个拥有社会、文化、风土人情、天文地理、历史等方面的知识的人,在读有关内容的英文材料时,要比不具备这方面知识的人轻松得多,理解的也会透彻得多。他不仅能够理解文中所说的内容,而具还能够将文中所讲的内容与文中未讲的有关内容联系起来。如果不具备这些知识,他就不可能达到对文章的透彻理解。
要想进行有效的阅读,除了具备上述的能力外,还要具备篇章的知识。例如,要尽快知道报纸的大概内容,就首先要了解版面的内容,然后找到感兴趣的版面,先读标题,后确定要读的内容。我们要想了解全书的内容,首先要阅读内容提要,然后阅读目录和前言。所有这一切都清楚地表明,篇章知识是有效阅读必不可少的一个因素,是阅读能力的重要组成部分。
三,英语阅读的方法
1. 导读 ( Preparation for reading )
导读是在阅读文章之前的准备。阅读材料涉及到天文地理、历史人物、环境保护、自然灾害、工作生活、文学艺术、科学技术、体育卫生、人权、政治等各个领域。体裁有记叙、书信、日记、小品、戏剧、传记、诗歌、说明文等。在导读过程中,根据阅读材料的不同内容和不同体裁,适当地查阅一些与文章有关的背景知识,帮助了解阅读材料的内容,将大大激发对材料的兴趣,明显提高阅读的效果。
例如在读题为American English一文时,可以利用收音机或录音机,有选择地转录BBC和VOA的英语节目,听原汁原味的美国英语和英国英语。听完之后判断并注意英美英语在发音、拼写和用词上的差异。然后把这些差异一一列出来进行比较。
A.在词汇方面的差异:
美国:gas, baggage, mail, movie,
英国:petrol, luggage, post, film,
B.在拼写方面的差异:
美国:check, jail, color, favor, center,
英国:cheque, gaol, colour, favour, centre,
C.在发音方面的差异:
美国:again [ 'gein], clerk [klз:k], dance [d?ns]
英国:again [ 'gen], clerk [kla:k], dance [da:ns]
2.掠读 ( Skimming )
掠读是由阅读目的所决定的。在进行掠读时,不需要详尽地理解所读材料,只是了解阅读材料的基本信息,快速浏览全篇,领会主旨或抓住主要内容。可以跳过细节,跳过不重要的思想和例子。
掠读是一个人可能达到的最快的阅读速度。例如在课外阅读时,想在五分钟内了解一篇文章的大概内容,或者想在考试前几分钟内将要考的内容再复习一遍,都可以用掠读的方法。
掠读通常可以通过以下几个步骤来完成。
(1) 抓住段落特点
每一篇文章都是由各个段落组成的,而每一个段落都是提纲的.一个要点,只要抓住了提纲的要点,也就抓住了整个段落的意思,才能迅速地获取阅读信息。
(2) 抓主题句
一个段落只有一个主题思想,主题句是表达段落中心思想的句子,它是一个段落中关键性的句子。抓住了主题句,就抓住了段落的中心思想,就抓住了段落的纲。主题句的位置可能有三种情况:一是主题句位于段首;二是主题句位于段末;三是主题句位于段中。主题句位于句首的情况最为普遍,通常为段落的第一句或第二句,找出每段的主题句,进行归纳总结,就能增加理解的深度。
3.检索读 ( Scanning )
同掠读一样,检索读也是一种快速阅读的方法。两者的不同之处在于:掠读是从阅读材料中获得大意,其目的是了解阅读内容的概要。检索读是从阅读材料中寻找某些特定的信息。掠读是事先对阅读材料一无所知,而检索读则是在对阅读材料有所了解的情况下进行的。
检索读的步骤如下:
(1)学生要时刻清楚地记着自己要寻找的特定信息。
(2)学生应迅速沿着文章自上而下扫视,时刻期待所找信息从未读部分显现出来。
(3)若找到信息,应该仔细看一看,证实所找信息是否确定。在检索读时,心中带着问题,看一看文中是不有问题的答案。
4.猜词性阅读
在课外阅读过程中,特别是在掠读或检索读时,如果遇到不懂的词或句子,手头又没有辞典的情况下,怎么办?这时可利用上下文线索猜测词义。要培养高效的阅读能力就要学会利用生词的上下文去寻找猜词懂意的线索。后文的阅读往往能澄清整段的意思,对整段意思的理解又反过来为理解生词提供了整体背景,使猜测有了可寻的线索。猜词性阅读可以通过以下几种方法来进行:
(1)根据构词法理解词义;
While early settlers had killed bison for food, now the killing became more widespread.
widespread是一个合成词。把它分开成为wide, spread就可知其意。
(2)根据上下文理解:
Now they could ride horse, it became easier to hunt the bison, a type of cattle which used to exist in huge number on the plains of America.
当不理解这个词时, 可根据后面的解释来理解这是 a type of cattle.
(3)根据句了结构理解:
Thus one simple fact, a change in the number of bison, had an effect on the whole wildlife chain of the plaons.
通过分析句子成分可知,a change…bison是fact的同位语。主语是fact,谓语是had an effect on …根据上文所述可理解此句。
5.细读 ( Close reading )
扫清语言障碍是细读的首要任务,在经历了前面的掠读和检索读后,应该对阅读材料的大意和思想有了整体的理解,但是对于一些句子和单词的意思,也就是细节,还不是很清楚,这时就需要细读或称为精读。
细读的过程包括理解生词词义、结构表达的意义及句子表达的语法意义。可以对句子的结构进行语法分析和判断。这样做可以扫清在阅读过程中的语言障碍。然后把文章的中心提出来,进行分析、总结和概括,并揭示各分论点之间的内在关系,深入到课文的内部结构中去理解文章,理解作者意图,掌握文章的中心思想。
综上所述,英语阅读能力都是在大量阅读实践活动中培养的。因此,阅读能力的培养需要各种形式。阅读能力的全面发展要求系统化。大家需要养成良好的阅读习惯和好的阅读技能,并持之以恒,坚持不懈。培养英语阅读技能不仅要充分挖掘快速阅读能力的潜力,而且要注意提高阅读技能和消除阅读技能的障碍。只有熟练掌握英语阅读技能的学生才能高效率地阅读。这样的阅读活动,不但可以激发阅读的兴趣和动机,满足学习英语的成就感;而且还可以培养发现问题、解决问题的能力和用英语思考、用英语交际的能力和自学英语的能力。

精神智商高往往可以使人轻松应付生活中的烦扰。以下几点教你如搏游拍何使自己的精神智商更高。
Our spiritual intelligence quotient helps us understand ourselves and live fuller, happier lives.
Spiritual intelligence is the capacity to sense, understand and tap into (发掘) the highest part of ourselves, of others and of the world around us. This source of inner calmness may be our best defense against the difficulties that trouble us every day.
While we’re all born with SQ, most of us aren’t even aware that we have it. Here are some simple steps that can lead you to this new level of understanding:
Sit Quietly. The process of developing spiritual intelligence begins in solitude (独处磨好) and silence. To tune in to its whisper, you have to turn down the volume in your busy, noisy, complicated life and force yourself to do nothing at all. At home, for example, shut the door to your bedroom between the others, take a few deep breaths and let them out very, very slowly.
Step Outside. For many people, nature sets their spirit free. It puts the troubles of daily living into perspective. Go outside to watch a beautiful sunset. Follow the flight of a bird; watch clouds floating overhead.
Find An Activity You Enjoy. It’s important to find a hobby that helps you tune in to your spirit. Garden, walk or jog, arrange flowers, listen to music that touches your soul.
Ask Questions Of Yourself. Some people use their thoughtful time to focus on scriptures (经文). Others ask open-ended (无确定答案的) questions, such as “What am I feeling? What are my choices?” But don’t expect an answer to arrive via some super-natural form of e-mail. Later that day you’ll suddenly find yourself thinking about a problem from a perspective you never considered before.
Trust Your Spirit. While most of us rely on gut (本能的) feelings to warn us of danger, spiritual intelligence usually nudges (渐渐推动) us, not away from, but toward some action that will lead to a greater good.
True (T) or False (F):
1. Admiring flowers in bloom outdoors can help us set our spirit free.
2. Asking ourselves questions and trying to answer them as soon as possible is of great help.
3. We can develop our SQ by shutting ourselves indoors, doing nothing at all a whole day.

【第二篇:The study of iceman】
Daggers! Arrows! A fight to the death! Some scientists believe that Europe’s famous “Iceman” died in battle. The Iceman, called ?tzi, is one of the world’s oldest and best-preserved mummies.(保存最完好的木乃伊)
Two hikers(旅行者) discovered the Iceman’s body on the border of Italy and Austria(奥地利) in 1991. Ever since, (从此)scientists have debated the cause of his death. Recently, scientists working in Australia came up with a new theory.
Like detectives at a crime scene, the scientists examined the clues.(线索) They looked at the blood on the Iceman’s clothes and the wounds(伤) on his body. Using this evidence, they concluded(断定) that the Iceman died from injuries(伤) to his back and hand.
The Iceman, the scientists believe, probably ran into deadly conflicts with at least two other hunters. The scientists say that blood on the Iceman’s weapons (武器)show that he shot two people with his arrow. His enemies returned fire, (还击)hitting him in the back with an arrow. They also cut him with a knife on his hands, rib cage,(胸腔) and wrists.(手腕)
How did the scientists get all this information from a 5,000-year-old body? Since the Iceman died in a cold climate, his body froze.(冻住了) A frozen body remains preserved for hundreds, even thousands of years. As a result, scientists can see how the Iceman’s body looked when he died. The cut on the Iceman’s thumb(拇指), for example, did not have a scar.(疤) This means that the cuts did not heal (愈合)before his death.
Not all scientists agree with the battle theory, however. Some say that the Iceman may have been killed in a ritual sacrifice.(不是所有科学家都同意这种战死论, 有人说那个冰人是在一场祭祀活动中被当成祭品给杀掉了)
Help:
dagger n.短剑,匕首
arrow n.剑
run into 陷入
conflict n.斗争,冲突
ritual adj. 典礼的, (宗教)仪式的
sacrifice n. 牺牲, 献身, 祭品, 供奉
【第三篇:UN Year of Deserts】
沙漠化是造成全球环境恶化严重的因素之一。沙漠化会引起食物不安全、饥荒和贫穷,从而导致社会、经济和政治的紧张。正是由于沙漠化的紧迫感,联合国大会决定宣布2006年为国际沙漠与沙漠化年。
(Words: about 270; Time: 3.5 minutes)
The United Nations, or UN, has named 2006 as the International Year of Deserts. The UN wants to highlight the beauty and wonders of deserts throughout the world.
But the United Nations also wants to call attention to the dangers the world faces as more and more land becomes desert. Large amounts of land that could once grow crops have become desert. Food can no longer be grown in those areas. More land is lost to desert each year.
Special habitats
Deserts are special environments, home to many different animals and plants. For thousands of years, deserts have also been home to many civilizations.
Deserts are fragile environments. The UN is hoping to protect the older deserts as well as stop new deserts from forming.
The dangers
Experts believe that one-third of the earth’s land surface is being threatened by the loss of cropland. When the land dries up and becomes desert, people cannot grow enough to eat. Experts believe this danger will affect about 1 billion people.
Africa has been especially harmed by growing deserts. Experts believe about two-thirds of Africa’s people are threatened by this loss of cropland.
Causes
People and climate change are causing much of the land to turn to desert. People cutting down too many trees and grazing too many cattle and other livestock have harmed the land.
Also, as more cropland is lost each year, more and more people try to live for the remaining good land. This speeds up the harm to the land.
Scientists are using pictures taken from space to track the growing deserts. They are working to heal the damaged environment.
Help:
fragile adj. easily broken or damaged 易损的
Try this:
It is ______ and ______ that are causing much of the land to become desert. More and more people ______ the remaining good land is also a reason for the desertification.
Key: people; climate change; leaving for
【第四篇:You can do anything】
妈妈的严格要求使我能够像正常人一样,不惧怕任何事情。
I am my mother’s third child. When I was born, the doctor gently explained to my mother that my left arm was missing, below the elbow. Then he gave her some advice: “Don’t treat her any differently from the other girls. Demand more.” And she did!
My mother had to work to support our family. There were five girls in our family and we all had to help out. Once when I was about seven, I came out of the kitchen, “Mom, I can’t peel potatoes. I only have one hand.”
“You go back to peel these potatoes, and don’t ever use that as an excuse for anything again!”
Of course I could peel potatoes ― with my good hand, while holding them down with the other arm. There was always a way, and Mom knew it. “If you try hard enough,” she’d say, “you can do anything.”
Once in the second grade, our teacher had each of us race across the monkey bars. When it was my turn, I shook my head. Some kids laughed. I went home crying. After work the next afternoon, Mom took me back to the school playground.
“Now, pull up with your right arm,” she advised. She stood by as I practiced, and she praised me when I made progress. I’ll never forget the next time when I was crossing the bars. The kids were standing there with their mouths open.
It was the way with everything. When I fear I can’t handle things, I see Mom’s smile. She had the heart to face anything. And she taught me I could, too.
【第五篇:You don’t love me】
“你不爱我!”这样的话你是否对你的父母说过,或者在心里暗暗地恨自己的父母?读一读下面的文章,你就会明白父母的良苦用心。
“You don’t love me!”
How many times have your kids laid that one on you?
And how many times have you, as a parent, resisted the urge to tell them how much?
Someday, when my children are old enough to understand the logic that motivates a mother, I’ll tell them.
I loved you enough to bug (使烦恼) you about where you were going, with whom, and what time you would get home.
I loved you enough to insist you buy a bike with your own money that we could afford and you couldn’t.
I loved you enough to be silent and let you discover your handpicked (精心挑选的) friend was a creep (讨厌的人).
I loved you enough to stand over you for two hours while you cleaned your bedroom, a job that would have taken me fifteen minutes.
I loved you enough to let you see anger, disappointment, disgust and tears in my eyes.
I loved you enough not to make excuses for your lack of respect or your bad manners.
I loved you enough to admit that I was wrong and asked your forgiveness.
I loved you enough to ignore “what every other mother” did or said.
I loved you enough to let you stumble, fall, hurt and fail.
I loved you enough to let you assume the responsibility for your own actions, at six, ten, or sixteen.
I loved you enough to shove you off my lap, let go of your hand, be mute to your pleas(恳求)... so that you had to stand alone.
I loved you enough to accept you for what you are, not what I wanted you to be.
But most of all, I loved you enough to say no when you hated me for it. That was the hardest part of all.
