第三节 书面表达（满分１５分）

If I have a lot of money, I will…

本次试卷我们这次八年级下册的期中试卷，考察的范围为八年级下册前5单元内容，没有听力，单项选择20小题，考查重点由集中到分散，考查的知识点比较多。涉及到了每单元的重点，如固定短语，形近短语辨析，when与while的区别，less and more 比较级的用法，lonely and alone 的区别，过去进行时及if引导的条件句，使用主将从现等，本题有百分之八十的学生能得满分，出错率集中在第3、4、5、15和17小题。学生对when和while的用法还是有些模糊，碰到问题不会灵活替换；在I think …的句型当中，否定转移总是讲的时候会用，碰到问题了就忘的一干

二净；find 和find out 的区别没有掌握，这道题的失分率是最高的；学生会背句型it's +adj for sb.to do sth。对于题缺乏应变能力，不知用to do来替代真正的主语。今后围绕这些知识点，以不同形式题型出现，反复练习，加强学生应变能力。

完形填易适中，取材比较好，对学生很有教育，主要讲每天上午大课间和下午上完两节课锻炼身体，让学生不要一味的学习，运动可使我们保持身体健康。大部分学生能看懂本篇文章，答案容易选出。总体来说得分率较高，失分较多的是第4小题，学生未整体把握文章

A.Some other B. Other C. Another D. The other这几个词再分不清，此题易出错，还是学生的基础知识掌握不扎实。还有第10小题中的health和healthy两个词的词性没有掌握清楚，以致失分。

阅读部分所选的阅读文章题材多样化，主要考查学生对阅读材料的分析理解能力、推理判断能力和概括归纳能力。总体来说阅读的篇幅多了一些，但是长度和难度都不大，学生较易得分，但是要真正全部答对也不是容易的事情，这需要学生具备良好的阅读能力和技巧，还要更快的阅读速度。第一篇讲游泳应注意安全，每年游泳出事者大多是由于忽视安全问题，而不是游泳技术方面出问题。第二篇讲集邮，第三篇是个幽默故事，第四篇有关旅行的建议。第一篇中3和4题出错率较高，学生们不会根据文章去判断句子正误，这两道题，文章中没有原句，需要根据文章进行再次判断，学生的综合判断能力有待提高。第三篇中15题，由于学生未抓住细节问题，失分率较高。

作文对于学生来说较为简单，已有例句，学生可模仿，或就某个主题展开，或使用此句型发散思维即可，只要使用if引导的条件句，使用主将从现的时态即可。此作文学生平均得分11分。对于学困生，他们结合所背3a结合本句型进行整合，写出的作文也挺不错的。

为了让学生争取在下次的考试中取得更好的成绩，我们决定做到以下几点：

1 .继续加强基础训练，扩大学生的词汇量。

2．多进行书面表达的训练，尽量减少母语对英语学习的干扰。不会用英文写作文,是绝大多数学生的通病,不知道作文是由句子构成,一个正确的句子,需要用正确的句型,需要用正确的词组来构成。写好作文,没有诀窍,只有多写多练.

3．完形填空,阅读理解这两大项,是所有英语考试中至关重要的两大部分,是一种综合考查,一半学生靠猜得了一些分。要加大阅读量，提高阅读速度，提高考生的阅读理解水平，而且要帮助学生掌握阅读技巧。以后要加强学生利用本学期的阅读上所提供的阅读策略提神自身的阅读能力，改变自身错误的阅读方法。
