二、简答题(本大题20分)根据题目要求完成下列任务，用中文作答。1.

课堂提问的作用是什么?封闭性问题与开放性问题各自有何特点?正确答案：课堂提问的作用：

(1)引起学生注意。

(2)巩固课堂教学。

(3)获取反馈信息。

(4)加强师生之间的沟通与交流。

封闭性问题的特点：有固定答案，且答案唯一；强化巩固课堂所学，记忆必须死记硬背的知识；在提高课堂提问的有效性方面发挥了重要作用。

开放性问题的特点：答案不是唯一的，是多种多样的；培养学生的发散思维，促进学生创新能力的提高；创设一个比较宽松、自由的问题情境，学生充分发挥自己的聪明才智，通过不同角度的探索去获取新知，巩固原有知识。

三、教学情境分析题(本大题30分)根据题目要求完成下列任务，用中文作答。1.

下面是某教师的课堂教学片段。

T:...Now,let'smakeourownwisheswith"ifonly".Butpleasedon'tforgettogiveadescription,eventhoughit'sverybrief,ofsituation,thecontext,whereyoumakethewishwithoneortwosentencesHowaboutLiz?

Liz:IfonlyIdidn'tgoonthejourney.

T:Tomakeitbetter,youcansay"ifonlyIhadn'tgoneonthisjourney",becauseyouarealreadyontheway.Goon,please.

请根据所给材料，分析该教师的教学目的和教学过程，评价教学行为和反馈方式。正确答案：(1)分析教学目的和教学过程

教学目的：

①知识目标：学生掌握由ifonly引导的虚拟语气的用法；

②技能目标：学生提高英语造句能力、语法运用能力以及英语表达能力；

③情感目标：学生可以正确认识自己的错误并且改正错误，养成良好的意志品质。

教学过程：

该教学情境属于语法教学中的巩固环节。教师采用让学生创设语境进行造句的方法对所学的ifonly引导的虚拟语气的用法进行巩固。教学过程中师生对话，既学习了语法又锻炼了口语表达能力。

(2)评价教学行为和反馈方式

优点：

①及时评价，帮助学生纠正语法错误，做到语法训练的准确性。

②语法巩固练习锻炼了学生的综合语言运用能力。

③教学素材的使用贴近学生生活。

④该语法片段属于语法教学中的巩固环节，因此，体现了语言教学的渐进性、持续性。

缺点：

①语法巩固练习形式略显单一枯燥。

②反馈过程缺少对学生的鼓励，这样会打击学生学习的积极性。

③反馈的方式过于直接，教师总是直接指出学生的错误。可以采用引导的方式，让学生自己发现自己的语法错误并进行改正，达到印象深刻的目的。

④教师没有充分预料到学生的出错点，做到提前纠错。

四、教学设计题(本大题40分)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：请阅读下面学生信息和语言材料，设计一节英语读写课教学方案。教案没有固定格式，但须包含下列要点：
