Many people thought a computer wasn't supposed to be able to beat a top master at the ancient Chinese game, Weiqi, for at least another 10 years. But AlphaGo, an artificially intelligent system(人工智能系统) designed by Google, made it. It easily beat Lee Sedol last year, one of the best players in the world. It challenged the world's top players to show how much progress it had made over the past few years.

In late May, 2017, AlphaGo appeared in China and played against 19-year-old Ke Jie in Wuzhen, China. He is No. 1 player now in the world. However, the result wasn't out of people's expectation. He lost the matches. Though Ke Jie tried his best and he once saw the victory just a step away, he lost his best chance when he became excited.

At the press conference(新闻发布会) after the match, Ke Jie was interviewed by the reporters. He said he had realized how powerful AlphaGo was, and that it was getting perfect. When a Chinese reporter asked him in English, the reporter spoke so fast that the interpreter(口译员) couldn't catch him. Ke Jie got kind of angry and told him that it was unnecessary for two Chinese to speak English. The reporter apologized to him and offered to ask him for a coffee.

The cat and mouse game is over, but the challenge between man and robots will still go on.

阅读文章 Every morning my father buys a newspaper on his way to work. Every evening my mother looks through (浏览)magazines at home. And every night, I look at the posters (海报) with photos of David Beckham and Yao Ming on my bedroom wall before I go to sleep. Can we imagine life without paper or printing? About 2, 000 years ago, paper was invented in China. Then people learned to write words on paper to make a book. But in those days, they could only write books by hand. So, books were expensive and rare (珍贵的)at that time. And because there weren't many books, few people learned to read. Then printing was invented in China and it developed greatly at the beginning of the 11th century. Then people could print books quickly and cheaply (便宜地). As a result, more people learned to read. After that, knowledge and ideas spread quickly. Today with the help of the Internet we can connect and share information quickly. We can also read newspapers and magazines online. But will the computer replace (替代) books one day? No, I don't think the poster of Yao Ming on my bedroom wall will ever be replaced by a computer of two metres high! 试着做一做 1～2题完成句子；3 题简略回答问题；4题找出并写下第二段

初中英语拓展阅读(2) A Red is used in many American expressions. It can be used to show happiness, as in the expression “a red-letter day”. This is a day when something special happens. The expressi on is probably based on church customs. For almost 600 years, church calendars have been marked with red to show special holy days. Today’s calendars are still marked that way with the dates of holidays and special days printed in red. The expressio n “a red-letter day” is often heard in everyday life. “A red-letter day” is a day that people are especially happy. It may be a day that you have long waited for, a wedding day, for example. Or it may be a day with a happy surprise. You might tell a friend that yesterday was a red-letter day, because you won some money in the lottery. “Rolling out the red carpet” is another commonly heard expression. It describes an especially warm welcome of any kind. A city may “roll out the red carpet” for its baseball t eam, when the team arrives home after winning a championship. A group of supporters go to the airport to greet the team. The red-carpet welcome includes a lot of cheering by thousands of fans, a parade, music and speeches of praise by local politicians. Red is also used in some expressions that are not happy. “Red-handed” is one. To be caught “red-handed” is to be found in an act of wrong doing. The evidence is clear. You are guilty. Today we use the expression to be caught “red-handed” in situation s that are not serious. For example, a mother might say she caught her son red-handed, taking cookies out of the cookie jar. Choose the best answer for each question. ( )1. The expression “a red-letter day” perhaps first came from _______. A. English customs B. church calendars C. weekdays D. a dictionary ( )2. You can say it’s a red-letter day if _______ on that day. A. you find a good job B. you borrow some money C. you are free D. you write a letter to your friend ( )3.

They worked together to build a dam. The first dam did not last very long. It quickly washed away. The second dam lasted for over two years. Then the government built the third dam.

This is a television show for all the families, and I know you’re going to enjoy it. Let’s start with a story I heard the o ther day about a very proud pig. This pig lived on a farm with a lot of other animals. And of all the animals on the farm, he thought he was the most important. But it was not enough that he himself thought this way. He had to be sure that the other animals thought so, too. So he went up to one of the chickens and asked, “Who is the most important animal on the farm?” Straight away, the chicken answered, “You are, master.” Then he asked one of the farm dogs, and he got the same reply. Next, he asked a cow. When the cow seemed uncertain of the right answer, the pig looked angry and showed his teeth. “Oh, you are, of course, master pig,” said the cow. “Of course,” the pig said. “There is no doubt about it.” At last, the pig asked a big horse, “Who is the most important animal on the farm?” The horse lifted one foot, rolled the pig over, and placed his foot on the pig’s head. “All right,” said the pig, “you don’t have to do that just becaus e you don’t know the answer.” Choose the best answer for each question.

英语阅读课教学反思

英语阅读课教学反思 汤喜珍 有人说，得英语者得高考得阅读者得英语。虽然这话说得有点夸张，但也确实说明了英语阅读的重要性。在英语教学中，阅读教学既是教学重点也是教学难点。培养和提高学生的阅读理解能力是阅读课的主要目的。阅读一篇文章不是单纯为解决某个语言或是回答几个问题而进行的，而是要实现巩固和扩大词汇、丰富语言知识、提高运用语言的能力、训练思维能力、理解能力、概括能力与判断能力的目的。那么我们怎么才能更有效地进行英语教学？怎样让学生在阅读中取得高分呢？下面我谈谈自己的反思感悟： 一、培养学生的兴趣和信心，阅读应该是一个积极主动的心理过程，而我们的学生由于种种因素的影响，对阅读产生畏惧心理，使阅读成为消极的应付和被动阅读。更别谈能够细心耐心地看完一篇文章，自然得不了高分，所以我觉得首先要培养学生的兴趣，可以在阅读时发挥小组合作学习的长处。摒弃完全依赖老师们的讲解和分析的传统做法，打破阅读就变成了讲读或对话课的模式，老师应该抓住学生的不同层次的语言知识掌握程度来进行小组的竞赛阅读，提高阅读的趣味性，学生对阅读的参与热情一下子就被激发了出来。老师可以组织学生在4人小组内，共同阅读后，共同解答课文的问题，由组长提问，其他组员在书本中找答案，然后再大家一起讨论答案。 二、教学生阅读技巧，提高解题能力。 俗话说“授之于鱼，不如授之于渔”。教会学生将难度较大的文章简单化。不一定非要理解每一个单词的意思，就像我们平时做阅读理解也一样，有时可以联系上下文或者猜一猜什么意思。如在做阅读理解时，会碰到一些文章结构较复杂，生僻单词较多的文章，教会学生应用文中的插图、关键性的关系词、连词、段落间的层次关系等，弄清楚文章的主要内容，这样可以节省时间，提高阅读效率。俗话说“熟能生巧”。在大量的练习和长时间的实践中，着重要培养六个方面的能力：1.快速的浏览能力。2.巧妙的猜词能力。3.独立的分析能力。4.准确的捕捉主题句能力和细节。5.合乎逻辑的判断能力。6.总结能力。 三、增加语言实践量，拓展英语阅读空间 就我自己来说，我觉得高中每单元一篇阅读课文所选的文章都是好文章。 精品文章，他们内容丰富，涉及面广。课文中所反映的中外文化习俗、世界名人传记，体育竞技比赛、饮食卫生习惯等等都唤起高中生的注意和兴趣。但是，从培养阅读能力的角度来看，仅限于课文的阅读教学是远远不够的。阅 读课的课堂教学内容绝不能只停留在封闭的教室、狭窄的一本书里，而是要 面对更广阔的社会生活，以拓宽阅读内容视角，摆脱传统的英语阅读教材的束缚，以提高学生的能力素质。每周

初中英语拓展性阅读教学“三字诀”

初中英语拓展性阅读教学“三字诀” 在初中英语阅读教学中，不能把课堂阅读任务的完成当作教学的终点，还需要通过后续的阅读拓展活动，提高学生的能力，拓展文化视野，培养思维，陶冶情操。教师要依托教材进行有效拓展，开展多样化的拓展活动，提高学生自主学习的能力和兴趣，为学生的终身发展奠定基础。 一、精读文本――加强文本对话 进行了阅读教学后，学生进行拓展阅读，能在读中实践阅读的技能，提高对文章的认知，也能在同类文章的拓展阅读中，拓宽视界，增加知识面，促进学生对英语语言的内化。学生在阅读教学后，在教师的指导下，自主阅读文本，深入探究字词句使用的特点、文本的结构，与文本进行深入的对话，获得情感的体验，提高学生的审美情趣。 例如，对于《英语》八年级下册第六单元Section A3这篇文章，是对一所学校的同学以skating的方式进行慈善募捐的报道。文章的情感主题突出。因此，进行了阅读教学后，我根据情感主题从情感方面进行拓展阅读。首先，我让学生将课文里“最让你感动的一些句子或词语”画一画，然后谈谈自己的想法。需要指出的是，学生还要从课内走到课外，从教材内走到教材外，进行拓展阅读。阅读的材料可以来自于报刊、名著等，鼓励学生在多读中增强语感，提高积

累。 二、练写应用――促进语言内化 写是学生综合能力的体现，能有效地培养学生的思维能力和表达能力。学生在对所学知识的应用中，更好地构建自己的知识体系。在英语阅读教学后，教师可以根据课堂学习的需要，围绕课文的内容，进行适当的拓展性写作，从易到难，实现知识和能力的拓展。 1.根据文本进行改编。改编是学生建立在对文本理解的基础上，按照自己的思路进行的一种创新。在形式上，可以是改编内容，也可以是改编文体，用改编来体现学生的一种思考。 例如，这篇文章：Unit5 Can you come to my party ？是Sonia给Henry发的一份邮件，告诉他不能参加Party。阅读后，我让学生根据内容进行改编，编成对话的形式，通过电话告诉对方自己很忙，不能参加Party，请他谅解。学生琢磨后，在同桌之间先尝试着对话，在互帮互助之中，提高了写的水平。 2.针对文本进行扩写。对于一些故事情节丰富的或留下一定悬念的文章，在学习后，还可以要求学生根据自己对文章的理解，发挥大胆的想象力进行扩写，对故事进行意义延伸，编成一个具有严密逻辑关系的完整故事。 例如第三单元：这篇文章，What were you doing when
