教师聚焦试卷讲评课的课前活动，基于对文本和学情的细致分析，确定了活动目标。基于活动目标，设计了学生的自主活动和小组活动，包括：关注文本、梳理结构；关注词汇、自主查阅；分析选项、自我更正；小组合作、互相释疑、共同总结等。由于任务设计明确、要求具体，为学生主动参与、积极思考、互相合作和真实交流提供了切实的保障。通过一系列活动，学生自主学习的意识和动机得到培养并充分认识到自己是学习的主人。同时，学生在同伴交流、互动的过程中，还参与并检测了自己及他人的学习行为。
Task 1
教师通过问题链的形式引导学生读懂文章大意，问题包括：
● Why were strawberries plentiful in America？
● How were wild strawberries domesticated？
● What made strawberries fail to be one of American identities？
● What is the purpose of this passage？
● Draw a chart to show the structure of the passage.
活动过程：学生通读文本，回答教师提出的关于文章细节和主旨的问题，通过自己的理解和梳理，领会作者的思维过程，最终绘制出符合文本内容和结构的关系图（见下图）。
Task 2
教师挑选影响学生理解语篇的关键词，引导学生读懂篇章细节，关键词包括：
● spring up● add… to…
● take root
● make space for
● coincidentally
● commercialize
● retail
● shape the face of
● be particular about
● association with
活动过程：学生借助语篇语境和词典，在关键词的提示下，深入理解文本，做好词汇学案。词汇学案示例如下：
association with： People don’t want to eat the strawberries and have a negative association with them.
翻譯：人们不想吃这些草莓，往往会产生不好的联想。
association： n. 联想；协会；友谊，伙伴关系
the football association 足球协会Their close association goes back to the war years.
他们亲密的友谊可以追溯到战争年代。
Task 3
教师根据选择题答题卡数据分析，提供学生错误率较高的题目编号，鼓励学生进行第二次答题。如：第1、2、4、6、8、10、13和15题。
活动过程：学生自主分析各题的选项，从文本中查找线索并进行自我更正，示例如下：
第1题，选择C，identity。原因：破折号有提示作用，right up there with the Statue of Liberty and baseball，自由女神像和棒球都是美国的标志。
第2题，选择A，plentiful。原因：该空格出现在段首句，该段内容都围绕着野生草莓数量多进行描写，如a large number of， spring up等。
第6题，选择D，replaced。原因：该段主要描写人类培育野生草莓的原因，即采摘野生草莓不便利和城镇化发展。文字的描写体现的是隐含的逻辑关系。
第13题，选择C，besides。原因：草莓无法成为美国的象征，一是它对土壤要求高，二是有些草莓口味不佳，两者是并列关系。
Task 4
教师组织学生开展合作学习。学生分组，指定组长并由组长组织讲评；总结解题策略，提出需要课内解决的问题。
活动过程：学生组成4人一组的学习小组，由组长组织活动，互相讲评或质疑，并总结出一些完形填空解题策略，如对文本主旨的理解、段首句的作用及对文章明暗逻辑关系的理解等。活动中组长记录错误出现的原因、小组成员仍然质疑的问题和小组成员总结的完形填空解题策略，并在课堂中和其他小组及教师进行交流。
When it comes to American symbols， the apple pie ranks pretty high on the list. This fruity pastry is embedded in （根植于） the___1___ of Americans—right up there with the Statue of Liberty and baseball. But apples aren’t native to North America， and pies themselves arrived with the colonists （殖民者）. So what is more American than the apple pie？ As unlikely as it seems， strawberry bread may be a strong contender.
Wild strawberries were once ___2____ in America. The first settlers at Jamestown in 1607 saw a large number of the wild strawberries. As quickly as they cut down forests， strawberries would spring up. But they were sweet， ____3____ a much welcome fresh fruit option to the pioneer plates.
In New England， the strawberry found plenty of fertile （肥沃的） ground to take root. It was the ___4___ of local native tribes in Massachusetts and the surrounding areas to burn areas of plants and forests to make space for corn， which coincidentally created fertile places for the wild strawberry plant to establish itself.
The best varieties were sent back to England for domestication （家養）， but in America the plant was largely ____5____ until the 18th century. As towns grew during this period， so too did the cultivated areas around them， which in turn ___6___ the wild strawberry. Settlers would travel “into the wild” to collect fruit for preserves and jams； it was only when the trips became a genuine___7___ that wild stock was brought back to personal gardens.
This interest was ___8___ by the efforts of William Robert Prince， who commercialized his botanical interests to create the first retail nursery experience in North America in 1737. The business， known as Prince Nursery， operated for 130 years out of Flushing， NY， and ___9___ the face of American horticulture （园艺）. Their 1771 catalog included three varieties of strawberries： Large Hautboys， the Chili， and the Redwood， which sold at a shilling for a dozen roots.
Gardeners tried to grow these varieties using techniques common to their native England—and failed. As any experienced gardener will tell you， plants can be ___10___ their needs. As a domesticated plant， the strawberry was only ___11___ in the 1800s when nurseries turned their attention to F. Virginia and began to cultivate this local species.
This ___12___ in popularity and the infiltration （渗入） of private garden spaces should have promoted the strawberry into the forefront of American favor. But they fell short because they proved to be challenging. ___13___， to be an effective symbol， it must have universal appeal， and berries can be fickle （变化无常的）. A berry may do well in the nursery， but ___14___ when planted due to the soil or seasonal conditions or the skill of the gardener. Colfax strawberries， for example， blossom and bear many berries， but taste terrible. People don’t want to eat them and have a negative ___15____ with them.
While it might not be as iconic as an apple pie， some strawberry jam on toast isn’t a bad alternative.
