38.suitable39.hadremoved40.the
31.interesting.令人有趣的……
32.wasinvented.Jazz是过去被黑人发明的,所以用一般过去时的被动语态。
33.who.引导一个定语从句,指代前面的AmericanNegroes,orblacks,在从句中作主语。
34.forced.与前面的“theyweresold并列,省略了theywere。
35.When.引导一个时间状语从句。
36.his.根据这句话的最后一个单词him可以得知答案。
37.before.仪式是在埋葬死人之前举行的,所以用before。
38.suitable.(be)suitblefor固定搭配,形容词短语作后置定语,修饰前面的slow,solemnmusic。
39.hadremoved.因为remove这个动作发生在过去动作changed,1ifted,washappy,wereglad等的前面,所以要过去完成时。
40.the.the十adj.表—类人,theliving指“活着的人”。

答案:
本文介绍了学习障碍儿童(如数学障碍儿童)大脑的“工作记忆”容量方面的研究情况。大脑的“工作记忆”不好,会使孩子不能专心读书,百分之十的孩子有这方面的问题。很多心理学家认为应该把大脑的“工作记忆”可以看作是一种新智商,因为它可以反映人的学习能力。Alloway把大脑的“工作记忆”比作一个盒子,并认为它的容量是有限的。文章还告诉我们记忆训练可以帮助改善“工作记忆”。
41.A。事实细节题。根据第三段中的“Allowaycomparesworkingmemorytoabox.Foradults,thebasicboxsizeisthoughttobethreetofiveitems.”可知人的“工作记忆”就像一个盒子,它的容量是有限的。
42.B。推理判断题。根据第二段的“ManypsychologistsconsiderworkingmemorytobethenewIQ,becausewefindthatworkingmemoryisoneofthemostimportantpredictorsoflearningability”可知,很多心理学家认为workingmemory是一种新的智商,因为研究者发现workingmemory是衡量一个人学习能力的最重要的指标之一,因此可以把它看作是预测孩子智力的一个重要因素。
43.D。猜测词义题。根据第三段可知人的workingmemory是有限的,因此要去记那些重要的信息,不相关的信息只会使记忆更加混乱,所以选D。
44.B。事实细节题。根据倒数第二段第一句“Memorytrainingmayhelpimproveworkingmemory.”可知进行记忆训练会有助于改善“工作记忆”,因此B正确。
45.B。事实细节题。根据最后一段第一句“Levine’sorganizationtrainsteachersthroughaprogramcalledSchoolsAttuned”可知,Levine成立一个组织,这个组织培训老师,然后让老师们帮助学生改善“工作记忆”。

指导思想与理论依据
1.指导思想
本课题努力结合新课程的理念,将课堂教学放在具体的语言情景之中;努力培养学生的综合语言运用能力,并且把听、说、读、写语言技能的训练综合运用于课堂教学之中。通过探究法、观察法和发现法,让学生发挥主观能动性,利用两两合作、小组活动的方式,激发学生参与教学的热情,让学生整堂课都处于新鲜感不断的亢奋状态中。根据学生的认知能力和接受程度,设计了写作等任务,使语言得到输出,可以使学生产生继续学习的动力。
总之,本次设计的宗旨是努力提高课堂教学的实效性,使学生能够提高语言的实际运用能力,达到最终教学的目的。
2.理论依据
《普通高中英语课程标准》明确提出:“要通过设计丰富多彩的课内外学习活动,使学生在参与交际活动的过程中形成交际策略。”
教材内容分析
本单元以机器人和科幻小说为话题,介绍了20世纪世界知名的科幻小说家IsaacAsimov发表于1951年的SatisfactionGuaranteed和他的生平。通过本单元的教学,旨在让学生了解科幻小说最大的特征在于:它赋予了“幻想”依靠科技在未来得以实现的极大可能,甚至有些“科学幻想”在多年以后,的确在科学上成了现实。如IsaacAsimov1951年描述的机器人的部分功能已经被应用于现实生活和工作中。在教学中,要鼓励学生敢于幻想,大胆创新,发挥自己丰富的想象力和创作力,写出独具特色的科幻文章。
教学内容如下:
WarmingUp介绍了机器人的制造、种类、功能等等,再让学生分组列表,把自己熟悉的科幻文艺形式(科幻故事、电影、电脑游戏、电视剧、卡通等等)写出来,并进行简单地交流。
Pre-reading通过讨论机器人是否像人类一样有自己的思维、是否有感情引出IsaacAsimov的科幻小说SatisfactionGuaranteed,为本单元的Reading做好了铺垫。
Reading的课文是IsaacAsimov发表于1951年的科幻小说SatisfactionGuaranteed。文中描述的机器人Tony是一个除去面无表情外,身材高大、相貌英俊、聪明机智的完美男人,仅三周的时间就使女主人坠入爱河。
Comprehending共有3个练习,练习1是关于克莱尔的情感变化,练习2是关于课文内容的5个问答题,旨在考查学生对课文的理解;练习3要求学生比较机器人Tony在physical,mental两方面与人的异同,与Pre-reading部分的问题相呼应。
LearningaboutLanguage分为两部分,Discoveringusefulwordsandexpressions是本单元词汇练习题;Revisingusefulstructures是本单元语法练习题,通过本单元的学习,要求学生熟练掌握不定式的被动语态。
UsingLanguage分为两部分,Listeningandspeaking是Molly和Kate讨论SatisfactionGuaranteed的对话录音,要求学生根据对话内容学会运用表达自己观点的常用句型。这部分教学内容还要求学生以机器人为话题,充分发挥自己的想象力,谈论机器人做家务的利与弊。并且要求自己动手设计机器人,附上文字说明。Reading,discussingandwriting部分的内容是科幻小说家IsaacAsimov的生平介绍。文章后附有练习题。练习1要求学生根据时间线索了解在作者生命中发生的重要事件;练习2、3要求学生讨论IsaacAsimov的“机器人三定律”;练习4要求学生借助文章信息和练习1的表格笔头简述阿西莫夫的生平事迹。

答案:
本文介绍了学习障碍儿童(如数学障碍儿童)大脑的“工作记忆”容量方面的研究情况。大脑的“工作记忆”不好,会使孩子不能专心读书,百分之十的孩子有这方面的问题。很多心理学家认为应该把大脑的“工作记忆”可以看作是一种新智商,因为它可以反映人的学习能力。Alloway把大脑的“工作记忆”比作一个盒子,并认为它的容量是有限的。文章还告诉我们记忆训练可以帮助改善“工作记忆”。
41.A。事实细节题。根据第三段中的“Allowaycomparesworkingmemorytoabox.Foradults,thebasicboxsizeisthoughttobethreetofiveitems.”可知人的“工作记忆”就像一个盒子,它的容量是有限的。
42.B。推理判断题。根据第二段的“ManypsychologistsconsiderworkingmemorytobethenewIQ,becausewefindthatworkingmemoryisoneofthemostimportantpredictorsoflearningability”可知,很多心理学家认为workingmemory是一种新的智商,因为研究者发现workingmemory是衡量一个人学习能力的最重要的指标之一,因此可以把它看作是预测孩子智力的一个重要因素。
43.D。猜测词义题。根据第三段可知人的workingmemory是有限的,因此要去记那些重要的信息,不相关的信息只会使记忆更加混乱,所以选D。
44.B。事实细节题。根据倒数第二段第一句“Memorytrainingmayhelpimproveworkingmemory.”可知进行记忆训练会有助于改善“工作记忆”,因此B正确。
45.B。事实细节题。根据最后一段第一句“Levine’sorganizationtrainsteachersthroughaprogramcalledSchoolsAttuned”可知,Levine成立一个组织,这个组织培训老师,然后让老师们帮助学生改善“工作记忆”。
