随着新高考的全面铺开,高中英语教学越来越重视培养学生在具体语境中的语用能力。因此,高三英语一轮复习课就不能只是对原有知识进行简单的回顾与再现,而应是在“三语(语境、语篇、语用)”原则下对原有知识的强化、内化和系统化。本节一轮复习课尝试以单元主题“文学与艺术”为基并结合思维导图、小组学习来建构分层词汇体系,从而使知识结构化、条理化、情景化;再依托“高考真题变式”实现由词到句,由句到篇的语用操练及迁移运用,从而达到高考总体能力的要求,达成“提高语言能力、提升思维品质、增进文化意识、培养学习能力”的英语学科核心目标。
一、活用文本语篇,激活主题情境
在进行高三英语一轮单元复习时,要灵活运用文本语篇,采取适当的教学形式,实现语篇导入,激活单元主题语境。高中英语人教版教材选修六Unit 1 Art 主要介绍的是西方绘画简史和曼哈顿最好的艺术画廊。笔者在带领学生复习文本语篇后将全班分成了六个小组,并要求各组复述介绍语篇的一个版块。具体而言,笔者要求各组分别复述介绍以下六个版块:1.The Middle Ages;2.The Renaissance;3.Impressionism;4.Modern Art;5.Guggenheim Museum & Metropolitan Museum of Art;6.Museum of Modern Art & Whitney Museum of American Art。各组组内同学在相互复述介绍板块内容后选派一名同学向全班复述介绍。这种复述介绍文本的方法既可以避免单元复习时的机械重复,又能调动学生的积极性,快速激活单元话题语境。
二、运用思维导图,建构词汇体系
《普通高中英语课程标准(2017年版2020年修订)》(以下简称《课程标准》)指出:“词汇学习不是单纯的词语记忆,也不是独立的词语操练,而是结合具体主题,在特定语境下开展的综合性语言实践活动。”语境是词汇教学的核心要素,只有在语境中单词才有生命力;而词块是词汇学习的最好单位,记忆时整体输入,运用时整体输出;新课程理念强调“用英语做事”,所以高三英语一轮复习时的词汇学习是在记忆的基础上不断运用,从而强化语感,迁移词汇运用能力,最终达到内化。基于以上理念,笔者尝试培养学生以小组为单位构建主题语境词汇思维导图并互学难点词汇及词块。
具体而言,笔者在激活单元话题语境后,要求学生以小组为单位构建本单元主题语境词汇思维导图从而使知识结构化、条理化。高中英语人教版教材选修六Unit 1 Art的单元主题是艺术,属于《课程标准》中“人与社会”这一主题语境下“文学、艺术与体育”主题群,所以笔者要求学生以小组为单位自主构建以艺术为主题的词汇思维导图,具体如下:
答案(根据学生小组构建思维导图适当引导并补充):
Painting art:realistic, abstract, gallery, renaissance, perspective, technique, impression, impressionist, post-impressionist, landscape,exhibition, drawing,figure,shadow, brush painting, religious, color, line, shape...
Other kinds: clay, bronze, marble, carve, sculpture, sculptor, statue, calligraphy, ceramics, china, embroidery, architecture, street art, performance art, hand-painted art, clothing art, graffiti...
Effects & comments:represent, symbol, stand for,break away from, classic, vivid, refresh, contemporary, conventional,controversial, visual, fragile, delicate, fantastic, superb, memorable, masterpiece, masterwork,be typical of, lay foundation for,appeal,appeal to, appealing,adopt,live up to one’s reputation, be aimed at,attempt to,a great deal of,be on exhibition/display,have a preference for,figure out...
在构建完单元主题语境词汇思维导图后,要求学生从一词多义、辨析义、词义活用等方面选择部分重点单词借助词典自学与互学;从写作应用角度选择部分重点词块借助词典进行自学与互学。
1.一词多义单词:_________________________________________________________________________(2~3个)
2.辨析义单词:___________________________________________________________________________(2~3组)
3.写作重点词块:________________________________________________________________________(5~10个)
参考答案:(根据各小组互学所给出的答案适当引导并补充)
1.figure, appeal
2.shadow/shade; adopt/adapt; controversial/contradictory
3.figure out, a great deal of, break away from, live up to one’s reputation, have a preference for, appeal to, sb.be in possession of, be on display/exhibition, attempt to, be typical of
针对以上重点单词和词块在教学时间允许的情况下,可以进一步引导学生以小组为单位进行思维导图的构建并讲解;这样词汇复习会更立体、更情景化、更有助于学生对于词汇的内涵及外延的掌握。
三、重组高考真题,变式迁移训练
《课程标准》强调“用英语做事”“词汇学习是在特定语境下开展的综合性语言实践活动”;而对高三学生而言历年高考真题是最有价值的语篇及语境,所以用好、用活真题将对高三英语一轮复习大有裨益。笔者在本节复习课中尝试整合重组、变式灵活运用高考真题,把一轮复习的过程变成与高考链接的过程,在“高考英语真题变式”语境中实现由词到句,由句到篇的语用操练及迁移运用。笔者的具体教学流程如下:
1.变式运用高考例句,突破一词多义及辨析义(词汇内涵及外延层面)
语境是词汇教学的核心要素,只有在语境中单词才有生命力。在构建完单元主题语境词汇思维导图并借助词典自学、互学重点词汇及词块后,笔者向学生提供历年高考英语真题例句,要求学生在例句语境中巩固重点词汇及词块。

For Western designers, China and its rich culture have long been an inspiration for Western creative.
“It’s no secret that China has always been a source(来源)of inspiration for designers,”says Amanda Hill, chief creative officer at A+E Networks, a global media company and home to some of the biggest fashion (时尚) shows.
Earlier this year, the China Through A Looking Glass exhibition in New York exhibited 140 pieces of China-inspired fashionable clothing alongside Chinese works of art,with theaim ofexploring the influence of Chinese aesthetics ( 美 学)on Western fashion and how China hasfueledthe fashionable imagination for centuries.The exhibition hadrecord attendance, showing that there is huge interest in Chinese influences.
“China is impossible to overlook,”says Hill.“Chinese models are the faces of beauty and fashion campaigns that sell dreams to women all over the world, which means Chinese women are not just consumers of fashion — they are central to its movement.” Of course, not only are today’s top Western designers being influenced by China—some of the best designers of contemporary fashion are themselves Chinese.“Vera Wang, Alexander Wang, Jason Wu aretaking onGalliano, Albaz, Marc Jacobs—andbeating them hands downin design and sales,” adds Hill.
For Hill,it is impossible not to talk about China asthe leading player when discussing fashion.“The most famous designers are Chinese, so are the models, and so are the consumers,” she says.“China is no longer just another market; in many senses it has become the market.If you talk about fashion today, you are talking about China — its influences, its direction, itsbreathtakingclothes, and how young designers and models are finally acknowledging that in many ways.”
