7.

9.

10.

Thepassageindicatesthatinstrumentalleadersgenerallyfocuson______.A.ensuringharmoniousrelationshipsB.sharingresponsibilitywithgroupmembersC.identifyingnewleadersD.achievingagoal正确答案：D[解析]文章最后两段主要讲述了两种领导者——指导型领导者和表达型领导者，并指出了他们的不同点。由“Instrumentalleadershipisleadershipthatemphasizesthecompletionoftasksbyasocialgroup”和“Expressiveleadersarelessconcernedwiththeoverallgoalsofthegroup”可知，指导型领导者重视团队任务的完成，关心团队目标，而表达型领导者却不是这样。故D项正确。

二、简答题根据题目要求完成下列任务，用中文作答。1.

请简要说明词汇教学的原则，并举例说明两种巩固词汇的方法。正确答案：(1)原则：①词汇选择原则。所选词汇必须是经常出现的、对学生来说非常重要的词汇，必须能够用于其他活动，应具有一定的代表性。

②系统性原则。教师在进行词汇教学时要给学生展示词汇之间的系统性、联系性，使学生化机械性记忆为理解性记忆。

③文化性原则。词汇教学要引导学生了解词汇的文化意义。

④呈现原则。词汇的呈现应具有直观性、情景性和趣味性。

⑤运用原则。词汇教学必须给学生创设运用词汇的具体条件和语境。

(2)巩固方法：

①词语联想。教师说出一个关键词，让学生在规定时间内尽可能多地说出或写出与该词相关的其他词汇。完成数量最多的学生可获得奖励。例如，教师给出computer这个词，让学生列出能想到的与computer相关的词汇，学生可能会写出keyboard，tablet，website等。

②归类。要求学生将给出的单词按照既定类别进行分类，如将Chinese，Japanese，Germany，America，Japan，German等词按照language和country进行分类。

三、教学情境分析题根据题目要求完成下列任务，用中文作答。下面是某教师在高一年级某节写作课上开展的教学活动。

(2)Askstudentstodrafttheirlettersindependently.

Step4Revisingandproofreading

Askstudentstoworkingroupsandrevisetheirletters.

根据所给材料从下列三个方面作答。1.

分析每个步骤的主要设计意图。正确答案：步骤一：让学生分析任务，使其清楚地了解本次写作的要求及目标。

步骤二：组织头脑风暴活动，使学生明确写作内容，并为后续的写作积累素材。

步骤三：教师的讲解使学生明确信件的格式和结构，并能够独立完成信件的写作。

步骤四：组内修改使学生互相学习，查漏补缺，进一步优化自己的作文。

2.

指出该教学活动的两个优点。正确答案：优点：

①该教师在写作前组织学生开展调查活动，不仅让学生积累了写作素材，也使学生在合作探究中提高了英语交际能力，将听、说、写有机结合起来。

②该教师让学生通过小组合作的方式修改作文，体现了学生的主体地位，有利于充分调动全体学生的积极性，促进学生的课堂交流。

3.

指出该教学活动的三个缺点并提出相应的改进建议。正确答案：缺点：

①缺少导入的过程。学生没有做好进入课堂的准备，教师就直接展示写作要求，无法抓住学生的注意力，不利于提高学生的学习效率。

②教师对于写作格式的讲解过于直接，没有启发学生思考的过程，学生只是被动地接受。

③学生写完之后，教师没有给予学生展示作文的机会，缺乏相应的评价。

改进建议：

①加入导入的过程。例如，教师可以让学生讨论自己的作息时间或是让学生分组讨论自己与朋友常用的联系方式。

②教师可以带领学生共同总结信件的格式与结构。例如，教师首先展示一封信件让学生通读，然后讨论信件的主要内容、格式、结构等，最后再带领学生一起总结。这样能够激发学生思考，让学生能积极主动地了解信件的格式和结构。

③在学生写完之后，教师在征得学生允许的情况下，挑出1～2篇信件进行展示，并进行评价。

四、教学设计题根据提供的信息和语言素材设计教学方案，用英文作答。1.

设计任务：请阅读下面的学生信息和语言素材，设计一节英语阅读教学方案。教案没有固定格式，但须包含下列要点：

●Teachingobjectives

●Teachingcontents

●Keyanddifficultpoints

●Majorstepsandtimeallocation

●Activitiesandjustifications

教学时间：45分钟

学生概况：某城镇普通中学高中二年级学生，班级人数40人。多数学生已经达到《普通高中英语课程标准(实验)》六级水平。学生课堂参与积极性一般。
