1.At a dinner party the guests and their hosts were involved in a heated discussion ,or rather an argument concerning the question of whether women had as much self-control as men .As they argued, signs appeared to one of the guests that a cobra was present in the room. while his first impulse was to jump back ,he knew that this would be a mistake; so he urged the other dimmers in a commanding tone to hold still without telling then why .shortly ,the cobra emerged on the veranda; and then man ran quickly to the door to slam it shut .it was soon discovered that the had crawled across the foot lf the hostess ,who kept calm ,not uttering a sound .thus the conclusion of this crisis laid bare the fact that women have as much selfcontrol as men.

2.lying comfortably upon a sofa, harket brayton smiled as he read the book marvels of science .suddenly something in a dark comer of the room attracted his attention in the shadow ,under the bed,he noticed two points of light about an inch apart,shinng with a greenish glow .his attention was now directed fully to those shining points. there, almost right under the foot-rail of the bed ,he saw the body of a large snake .the points of light were its eyes! Brayton rose to his feet and prepared to back softly away from the snake At that moment ,howeve r ,he felt strangely unwilling to do so .instead of moving backward as planned ,he took a step forward, and then another! the snake made neither sound nor motion, but its evil head was still thrust forth ,its eyes were shining as if electrified, sending needles of light through the shadows. Frightened ,brayton fell to the floor ,dead .

Two hours later, when the doctor was pulling the body out ,he chanced to look under the bed, “good god” he cried a snake

He reached under the bed, pulled out the snake and threw it to the center of the room , where it lay without motion, it was a snake made of cloth and filled with cotton Its eyes were two buttons .

Thomas jefferson was not only a man of ideas, he was also a man of action he believed that, rather than simply learn from reading ,one should engage in personal investigations to gain knowledge from its source ,he also believed that one could obtain valuable knowledge not only from expert people of higher classes, but also from people of people of humble origins .jefferson felt that one must think for himself rather than simply seek agreement with others ;and that it was wrong to go out of one’s way to avoid disagreement or conflict .in spite of his critics, Jefferson constantly held to and acced on his own beliefs.americans owe much Thomas Jefferson for the legacy of ideas and examples he left behind

2.

When Jefferson began to write the declaration of independence, he was bearing a heavy load of personal sorrow and trouble .

Only a few months before, in September, his baby daughter ,aged one and a half had died ,then ,in the following marchm his mother had also died. Now he learned that his wofe was lying seriously ill at home

It took so many days for news to come from there that she might be dying even as he sat at his desk .always in his mind was the thought that if only he could be there he minght be able to save her life. perhaps, too, if he had not been obliged to be away from home so much he might have saved the lives of his mother and daughter.it was thoughts such as these that may have given his work its passion and nobility, as great sorrow often does when he wrote, for all the world to see the wrongs that England had done to America ,maybe he felt them all the more strongly because his own happiness was mow in such great danger chiefly through englands selfish and foolish actions

While waiting to enter university .the young man saw a teaching job

advertised in a local newspaper ;and thought he thought his chances of getting the job were slim ,he decided to apply .when he arrived at the school for his interview, he sensed in the headmaster an attitude of superiority and disapproval .he interview consisted of a number of questions regarding the young man’s education and background .and then he was asked whether or not he attached importance to games as part of a boy’s schooling .obviously his answer was not entirely satisfactory to the headmaster ,in spite of the fact that he and the headmaster had little in common in their views on education ,the young man was told that he would be hired .however,at a salary of only twelve pounds per week and with the prospect of having to work under the headmaster’s wife ,the teaching post had become quite undesirable. 2. a gentleman put an advertisement in a newspaper for a boy to work in his office. Out of nearly fifty persons who came to apply ,the man selected one and dismissed the others .

I should like to know ,said a friend ,the reason you select that boy, who brought not a single letter ,not a single recommendation.

You are wrong,said the gentleman .the had a great many .he wied hid feet at the door and closed the door behind him, showing that he was careful. He gave his seat immediately to that old man,showing that he was kind and thoughtful .he took off his cap when he came in and answered my questions promptly .showing that he was polite and gentlemanly .

All the others stepped over the book which I had purposely put on the floor .he picked it up and placed it on the table; and he waited for his turn instead of pushing and crowding.when o talked to him .i noticed his tidy clothing, his neatly brushed hair and his clean finger hails .can’t you see that these things are excellent recommendations? O consider them more significant than letters.

As a boy and as an adult ,the authou of this article felt awed and bewildered at the personality of his father’s friend the great scientist albert Einstein .what inpressed him most was einstenin’s modest manner .though a profound thinker ,Einstein never displayed vanity, jealousy ,or personal ambition ,and though his ideas were singled out as something special and he was awarded the nobel prize ,he seemed to find his own fame a puzzle .it appeared that the great man was not capable ofconceit or pretension; and for this reason. The author always felt at ease in his presence .

2\. At one time Einstein traveled all over the united states giving lectures. He traveled by car and soon became quite friendly with the driver.

The driver listened carefully to einstein’s lecture, which the great scientist gave again and again one day he told Einstein that he knew the lecture so well that he was sure he could give it himself. Einstein smiled and said why don’t you gave the lecture for me next time the driver agreed

That evening the two of them went along to the lecture hall nobody there had seen Einstein before . as the driver took his place on the stage everybody clapped .then he began the lecture .sure enough .he did not make a single mistake .it was a great success .and when it was over, people clapped and clapped .then he started to leave .shaking hands woth everybody ,while Einstein followed quietly a few steps behind. Just before they got to the door ,a man stopped them and asked the driver a very difficult question .the driver listened carefully .of course he did not understand a thing ,but he nodded his head as if he did . when the man stopped talking, the driver said that he thought the question was very interesting but really quite simple. In fact , in order to show how simple it was ,he would ask his driver to answer it!

It is a apparent that the temperature of

the earth is rising .if this trend is allowed to continue ,many coastal cities will disapper beneath the ocean waves ,much farmland woll be lost to the sea, and the resulting pressure on food supply may cause widespread starvation and lead to the collapse of the whole social structure

What’s to be done ? there’s no alternative but to get at the villain of all this ,carbon dioxide .carbon dioxide is not very poisonous ,.and in small quantities it does us no harm .plants absorb it and convert it into their own tissue ,which serve as the basic food supply for all of animal life .including human beings ,in the process they liberate oxygen, which, again ,is essential to all animal life .however, carbon dioxide lets in visible sunlight during the day, but blocks infrared radiation at nighr ,when its concentration in the atmosphere rises, the temperature on earth goes up ,too

But carbon dioxide is not rising by itself .if we stop cutting down the forests and consume less coal and gas. Or use fuel that does not produce carbon dioxide ,such as nuclear and solar energy, in all likelihood we can restore its concentration to previous levels and save mankind from disaster .

2\

As the concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere increases steadily, earth’s average temperature will go up slightly .winters will grow a bit milder on the average and summers a bit hotter that may not seem frightening, milder winters don’t seem bad ,and as for hotter summers ,we can just run our air –conditioning a bit more .

But consider this : if winters in general grow milder ,less snow will fall during the cold season .if summers in general grow hotter ,more snow will melt during the cold season. That means that, little by little ,the snow line will move away from the equator toward the poles. The glaciers will retreat ,the mountaintops will grow more bare, and the

polar ice caps will begin to melt

That might be annoying to skiers and to other devotees of winter sports but would it neccssarily bother the rest of us? After all. If the snow line moves north .it might be possible to grow more food in Canada .scandinavia .and russia .

Still if the cold weather moves poleward. Then so do the storm belts the desert regions that now exist in subtropical areas will greatly expand, and fertile land gained in the north will be list in the south .more may be lost than gained .

It is the melting of the ice caps, though, that is the worst change, it is this which demonstrates the villainy of carbon dioxide .

Something like 90 percent of the ice in the world is to be found in the huge Antarctica ice cap, and another 8 percent is in the Greenland ice cap. In both places the ice is piled miles high, if these ice caps begin to melt. The water that forms won’t stay in place. It will drip down into the ocean.taking up more space and causing sea level to rise. Low-lying coastal areas worldwide would be flooded and the rising oceans would surge farther inland during storms, adding to the problem of coastal flooding.

第六单元

1. dr. nolen believes that the most important time in a surgical career is the point at which the surgeon begins to feel confident in his ability to make sound decisions in each individual case. Many young doctors dwell on the possibility that they may have made a mistake, especially in emergency situations. At such times , they sweat over patients, wondering if they are competent enough for the job they are attempting to do. And they feel that bound to make a fatal error a at one time or another. When a surgeon learns to relax and approach these situations with confidence in his ability to handle them successfully, according to dr.nolen. he has taken the first step to maturity.

2. a man went to see his doctor because he was suffering from pains in his stomach. After the doctor had examined him carefully. He said to him , well, there’s nothing really wrong with you, I’m glad to say Your only trouble is that you worry too much. You know I had a man with the same trouble as you in here a few days ago, and I gave him the same advice, as I’m going to give you. He was worried because he couldn’t pay his tailor’s bills. I told him not to worry his head off about the bills any more. He followed my advice, and when he came to see me again two days ago, he told me that he now felt quite all right again.

Yes, I know all about that,answered patient sadly. You see, I’m that man’s tailor .

B篇

The patient was lying in bed after a minor operation. His friend asked him how he was getting along.

Pretty well, as the answer .after my first operation. They had to cut me open again. It seems the surgeon had left a sponge in me and they had to get that out ,

But you got over it all rigt

Oh yes, only I had another operation yesterday. They found a scalpel which had been sewed up in me by mistake .

But the patient suddenly got nervous again, for just then the surgeon hurried through the ward saying :

Has anyone seen my hat around here?i left it somewhere yesterday.

大学英语精读课改革模式

大学英语精读课改革模式 关键词：教学模式；二语习得；阅读技巧；交际能力 长期以来，外语一直把精读课作为基础教学阶段的一门主课。笔者认为，有必要尝试一下改变精读课的传统做法。下面透过目前精读课存在的主要问题，提出几点改进建议。 一、主要问题 目前，基础教学阶段的精读课，名为精读，实为融听、说、读、写、译为一体的语言综合入门课。这在语言素材信手拈来的今天，对于入学时已掌握1600个单词、已具有基本语法知识，而听、说、读、写、译却又发展极不平衡的学生来说，这种传统精读课的教学模式已不再完全适用。其弊端在于：(1)语言素材不足。精读课基本是围绕有限的几篇文章进行解释和训练，不利于语言的自然习得，无法增强学生的语感。(2)忽视对阅读技能的训练。精读课注重对课文中语言现象的分析、讲解和操练，而对一系列阅读技能却没有必要的指导和训练。(3)无法兼顾学生入学时听、说、读、写、译的能力发展不平衡的状况。学生入学时的阅读能力远比其他能力强，但为了照顾其他能力的培养，只能选用语言较简单、内容较肤浅的素材。教材不能满足学生提高阅读水平的需求，限制了学生阅读能力的发展，抑制了学生的求知欲，影响了他们的知识面扩展。(4)忽略书面语和口语的差异。精读课十分重视围绕课文所进行的口语表达的准确性。为表达准确，学生往往要使用课文的语言，其结果是将书面语与口头语混为一体，忽视了语言的得体性。(5)忽略学生能力的发展。在精读课上，教师精讲，学生操炼。教学常常以掌握课文为目的，不重视对学生学习方法的指导，不重视学生独立思考、综合、分析能力的培养和发展。 二、建议 1．课程设置 目前新生入学时已掌握1600个单词并掌握了一定的语法知识，鉴于学生 的听、说、读、写、译能力发展不平衡，建议开设阅读、听力、口语、语法、写作等课程。这些课程分别将各门课程的技能训练作为教学的主要内容，并兼顾其他课程的技能训练，以促进和保证学生听、说、读、写、译五项技能的全面发展。 2．关于阅读课 阅读课旨在提高学生对书面语言的处理和表达能力。为此，一方面要不断扩大学生的词汇量和巩固语法知识；另一方面则要指导学生运用自己已有的阅读母语的技能，进行阅读技能的训练。因此，阅读课应注意以下原则：(1)提供数量为精读教材三倍的语言素材，以创造语言习得的条件。(2)教材的题材和体裁力

UNIT 1 As we are at the start of the course, this seems a good moment to offer some advice on how to make the task of learning English easier. 课程开始之际，就如何使学习英语的任务更容易提出一些建议似乎正当其时。 Some Strategies for Learning English Learning English is by no means easy. It takes great diligence and prolonged effort. 学习英语绝非易事。它需要刻苦和长期努力。 Nevertheless, while you cannot expect to gain a good command of English without sustained hard work, there are various helpful learning strategies you can employ to make the task easier. Here are some of them. 虽然不经过持续的刻苦努力便不能期望精通英语，然而还是有各种有用的学习策略可以用来使这一任务变得容易一些。以下便是其中的几种。 1. Do not treat all new words in exactly the same way. Have you ever complained about your memory because you find it simply impossible to memorize all the new words you are learning? But, in fact, it is not your memory that is at fault. If you cram your head with too many new words at a time, some of them are bound to be crowded out. What you need to do is to deal with new words in different ways according to how frequently they occur in everyday use. While active words demand constant practice and useful words must be committed to memory, words that do not often occur in everyday situations require just a nodding acquaintance. You will find concentrating on active and useful words the most effective route to enlarging your vocabulary. 1. 不要以完全同样的方式对待所有的生词。你可曾因为简直无法记住所学的所有生词而抱怨自己的记忆力太差？其实，责任并不在你的记忆力。如果你一下子把太多的生词塞进头脑，必定有一些生词会被挤出来。你需要做的是根据生词日常使用的频率以不同的方式对待它们。积极词汇需要经常练习，有用的词汇必须牢记，而在日常情况下不常出现的词只需见到时认识即可。你会发现把注意力集中于积极有用的词上是扩大词汇量最有效的途径。 2. Watch out for idiomatic ways of saying things. Have you ever wondered why we say, "I am interested in English", but "I am good at French"? And have you ever asked yourself why native English speakers say, "learn the news or secret", but "learn of someone's success or arrival"? These are all examples of idiomatic usage. In learning English, you must pay attention not only to the meaning of a word, but also to the way native speakers use it in their daily lives. 2．密切注意地道的表达方式。你可曾纳闷过，为什么我们说“我对英语感兴趣”是“I'm interested in English”，而说“我精于法语”则是“I'm good at French”？你可曾问过自己，为什么以英语为母语的人说“获悉消息或秘密”是“learn the news or secret”，而“获悉某

大学英语精读第二册Reading Aloud and Memorizing答案

The American does not join in the argument but watches the other guests. As he looks, he sees a strange expression come over the face of the hostess. She is s taring straight ahead, her muscles contracting slightly. She motions to the nat ive boy standing behind her chair and whispers something to him. The boy's eyes widen: he quickly leaves the room. Of the guests, none except the American notices this or sees the boy place a bo wl of milk on the veranda just outside the open doors. The American comes to with a start. In India, milk in a bowl means only one thi ng -- bait for a snake. He realizes there must be a cobra in the room. Unit2 Jefferson's courage and idealism were based on knowledge. He probably knew more than any other man of his age. He was an expert in agriculture, archeology, an d medicine. He practiced crop rotation and soil conservation a century before t hese became standard practice, and he invented a plow superior to any other in existence. He influenced architecture throughout America, and he was constantly producing devices for making the tasks of ordinary life easier to perform. Of all Jefferson's many talents, one is central. He was above all a good and ti reless writer. His complete works, now being published for the first time, will fill more than fifty volumes. His talent as an author was soon discovered, and when the time came to write the Declaration of Independence at Philadelphia in 1776, the task of writing it was his. Millions have thrilled to his words: "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal…" Unit3 While I was waiting to enter university, I saw advertised in a local newspaper a teaching post at a school in a suburb of London about ten miles from where I lived. Being very short money and wanting to do something useful, I applied, fe aring as I did so, that without a degree and with no experience in teaching my chances of getting the job were slim. However, three days later a letter arrived, asking me to go to Croydon for an i nterview. It proved an awkward journey: a train to Croydon station; a ten-minut e bus ride and then a walk of at least a quarter to feel nervous. Unit 4 As a boy and then as an adult,I never lost my wonder at the personality that was Einstein .He was the only person i knew who had come to terms with himself and the world around him .He knew what he wanted and he wanted only this :to understand within his limits as a human being the nature of the universe and the logic and simplicity in its functioning .He knew there were answers beyond his intellectual reach .but this did not frustrate him .He was content to go as far as he could.

大学英语精读课的教学心得

大学英语精读课的教学心得 本学期本人任教一年级大学英语课程，工作中自觉遵守教学规律，贯彻党的教育方针，以身作则，教书育人。关注本学科及相关的学术发展动态，刻苦钻研，努力提高自身业务水平，坚持学习，与同事进行交流合作，积极参加科组教研活动，例如到深圳职业技术学院参观学习，学院第二英语角活动，主动提出意见建议，促进教学教改。关心学院发展与建设，服从工作安排，遵守各规章纪律，保持全勤，参与学院的集体活动。以下是本人的几点教学心得： 我们的学生在中学阶段已经掌握了较系统的语法知识，故目前在教学中重点是提高学生的阅读理解能力，进而培养学生的书面表达能力。据学生反映，他们的难题主要是单词和课文内容。相应的教学方法是： 一、单独讲解单词。如果只是简单地解释词性、意思、词组，然后做翻译练习，不免显得枯燥，而且学生很难整节课都集中注意力，因而达不到良好教学效果。本人采用的方法是尽量地把本课单词有机地串联起来，帮助学生形成一种记忆链条，并且给他们定一个目标：Try to put everything in mind instead of on the notebook！例如，在这个单元中，主要探讨科学的发展及其对我们生活的影响。上课的时候，首先从手机（mobile phone）展开话题，由其体积大小、价格的变化，引出技术发展两个新词：technology，develop，（development），继而是技术发展的动力之一“竞争”（competition），而当今的竞争是激烈的（severe）、“全球性的”（global），创造力（inventiveness）、自创精神（initiative）尤为重要，接下来讨论科技发展（technology development）对我们日常生活的影响或关联（relevance）。到此，让学生尝试用几句话把这些词串连起来：Technology develops at a rapid rate nowadays. Anyway, the rapid development has been brought about by the force of competition, which is severe and global, and needs initiative. Does the development have any relevance to our daily life? Sure. Ten years ago, it was impossible for a student to have a mobile phone. 在讲解完一组相关的词后，让学生做课本的选词填空练习，巩固对单词词义的理解和掌握正确用法。其次，以游戏的方式练习词汇。由一或两名学生背对黑板，教师写上词或词组，全班同学给提示直到他们猜出词语。这样既活跃课堂又使学生有机会练习口头表达能力，也可锻炼当众表演的胆量。例如，dream一词，提示有：something in your mind when you sleep, sometimes it is true, sometimes it is imagination, people may appear, animal may also come into sight, you might be happy, might be frightened, even in horror……大量旧词汇得到复习。 二、课文讲解。由于课是两节或三节连堂，如果按照传统的语言点、加语法、再加句子分析翻译，学生很难完全接受。较可行的方法是分成三部分。第一，先完成整篇的理解性问题，课本的“content question”，让学生了解课文大概。第二，语言点、语法结构讲解，分段落完成。学生们逐段阅读，留一定时间给他们提问，然后就学生忽视的内容个别提问、再总结，形成教与学的互动，促使学生思考。第三，完成第一、第二阶段的教学后，再分析整篇文章的结构，每部分的main ideas，总结全文观点。让学生练习表达能力。同时回顾一些重要的细节或段落、句子，构成完整的篇章学习。部份故事性趣味性强的文章，采用分组表演，促进学生团对合作。很受欢迎。 三、课后练习：时间充裕的话，可让学生在课堂完成，再评讲，或者布置为家庭作业，课堂评讲。这也可作为语法、语言点的练习与复习。尽量运用本单元新学的知识，再与先前所掌握的作比较。 四、随堂测验。每讲完一小单元，如单词、语法或语言点之后，用十分钟左右进行随堂测验，可用口头或书面形式。可深化学生的记忆，达到良好的教学效果。 五、作业批改。学生首先关注的是分数，往往忽视错误部分，故批改时只圈出错的地方，学生自己改正后再上交，然后针对个别辅导。真正巩固知识。 以上是本人的教学心得。在今后的工作中，本人将继续努力，不断提高教学水平，高质量完成教学任务。
