Reading Comprehension
Directions:There are two passages iⅡthis part． Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements． For each of them there are four choices marked A,B,C and D．You should decide on the best choice．
Questions 56- 60 are based on Passage One:
Passage One
The law says that women should have the chance of doing the same jobs as men and earn the same as them．
The reality is very different．Women lose because, 25 years after the Equal Pay Act,many of them still get paid less than men．
They lose because they do lower-paid jobs which men just won't consider．And they lose because they are the ones who interrupt a career to have children．
All this is reported in an independent study ordered by the Government's Women's Unite．
The biggest problem isn't equal pay in workplaces such as factories．It is a sort of work women do．Make a list of the low-paid jobs, then consider who do them．
Try nurses, secretaries, cleaners, clerks, teachers in primary schools, dinner ladies,and child care helpers． Not a lot of men among that group, are there?
Yet some of those jobs are really important．Surely no one would deny that about nurses and teachers, for a start．
So why do we reward the people who do them so poorly? There can be only one answer—because they are women．
This is not going to be put right overnight． But the Government which employs a lot of them, and other bosses have to make a start．
It is disgraceful(可耻的) that we have gone into the 21st century but still treat women as second-class citizens．
Women should have the chance of doing the same jobs and be paid equally as Men( )．
A． after 25 years
B． according to the law
C． as a result of the Equal Pay Act
D． because women are as strong as men
正确答案：B
B[解析]根据the Equal Pay Act应该做到男女平等，C选项错在并不是因为the Equal Pay Act的结果。所以答案选B。 -

【教学设计】
Teaching aims:
Knowledge aim:
Students will master the meaning and usage of the structure “be doing” through reading the passage.
Ability aim:
Students will apply the “be doing” to communicate with each other in real situation.
Emotional aim:
Students will be more interest in learning English.
Key and difficult point:
Key Point: Students will master how to improve reading abilities through finding main idea and details.
Difficult Point: Students will apply the “be doing” to communicate with each other in real situation.
Teaching procedure:
Step 1: Warming-up
1. Greetings.
2. Play a riddle and students guess the animals, such as “long nose, big ears and strong body——elephant”, then lead to the topic of “let’s go to the zoo to see what animals are doing”.
Step 2: Pre-reading
1. According to the title, students have a prediction about what kinds of animals are mentioned in the passage.
Step 3: While-reading
1. Fast reading: students read the passage fast and figure out what kinds of animals are mentioned in the passage then make a list.
2. Careful reading: students read the passage carefully and answer the question: what are the animals doing? Then fill in the blanks.
1. How do you improve students’ interest in learning English?
2. What principle should you use in the post-reading step?答案：解析：1.
In the process of English teaching, teachers should enrich the teaching approaches, not only teach students through "listening, speaking, reading", but also integrate situational teaching, so that students can feel the diversity of teaching and learning.
Besides, teachers can make use of the form of cooperative study and organize various practice activities in the classroom to create an atmosphere of mutual assistance and cooperation, so that students have positive sense of learning.
2.
First, we should persist in the communicative principle. In the production step of reading
class, students should be organized in groups to cultivate their speaking ability and communicative ability. In this way, we can reach the New Curriculum Standard.
Then, we should insist on the truth principle. That means we should provide more real materials that are closet to students’ real life, such as situation creation like what I did in this class. In this way, students’ interest can be aroused and they can apply what they’ve learned in real communication. -

【教案】
Teaching aims:
Knowledge aim:
Students will grasp and understand the main and detailed information of the passage.
Ability aim:
Students will improve their reading and speaking skills.
Emotional aim:
Students will foster the interest and desire of learning English and take part in speaking activities actively.
Key and difficult point:
Key Point: Students will totally understand the content of the passage.
Difficult Point: Students will foster the interest of learning English, and take part in speaking activities.
Teaching procedure:
Step 1: Warming-up
1. Greetings.
2. Show students pictures about different types of transportation and naturally lead to today’s topic.
Step 2: Pre-reading
1. Ask students two questions and some volunteers will be invited to share their answers.
Q1: How do you come to school?
Q2: How do your parents go to work?
2. Ask students to predict the main idea of the passage based on the above discussion and pictures on the screen.
Step 3: While-reading
1st reading: Ask students to read the passage for the first time and check their prediction. Besides, they need to find out which countries are mentioned in the passage and circle them.
2nd reading: Ask students to read the passage for the second time and complete the following chart. Some students will be invited to finish it on the blackboard.
Step4: Post-reading
Discussion: ask students to discuss the advantages and disadvantages of different modes of transportation. Four students in a group, after five minutes, some groups are supposed to show their results.
Step5: Summary and Homework
Summary: ask a student to conclude the content of the lesson and summarize with the whole class.
Homework: ask students to investigate their friends’ way of going to school and find some interesting ways of transportation on the Internet.
Blackboard design:
1. How to improve students’ reading and speaking ability in your class?
2. How did you evaluate the performance of students in the class?答案：解析：1.
It is very important to improve students’ reading and speaking abilities. In my class, I take three specific steps to improve their reading and speaking abilities. Firstly, before reading the article, I ask the students to guess the main idea of the article according to my questions and pictures on the screen. As you heard, this can not only exercise students’ guessing ability, but also help them read the passage with questions. In the while-reading part, I set two times of reading, namely extensive reading and intensive reading. Obviously, students’ scanning ability and the ability to grasp detailed information can be improved. It also helps them form good reading habits. As for speaking ability, I organize a discussion activity without standard answers. Students can express their views freely in groups. In this way, their reading and speaking abilities can be improved a lot.
2.
Students are under a stage of growing and developing. They are eager to be evaluated and encouraged by their teachers. At the same time, students are different, and their acceptance and abilities of learning are different. Therefore, in my class, I have adopted a variety of different evaluations. For the students who answered correctly, I would praise them directly, such as “excellent”, “you can find the answer so fast”. For those students who dare not answer questions or did not find out the answers, I just encouraged them and guided them to say the answers, and gave some encouraging comments, like “nice try!”, “you’ve made a great progress”. Also, some students made mistakes. In my class, instead of directly blaming the student for being wrong, I asked other students to help him/her and give them a proper evaluation. -
