【Task 1】
Warm up Exercises: A.1)She wanted to see St.Paul’s Cathedral.2)She was so surprised because she saw so many Englishmen who looked alike.3)They were all wearing dark suits and bowler hats, carrying umbrellas and newspapers.4)Because she had often read about them and seen photographs of them, who all looked as if they were wearing a uniform.5)No, he didn’t.6)He used the English saying “It takes all kinds to make a world” to prove his opinion.B.If all the seas were one sea, what a great sea it would be!And if all the trees were one tree, what a great tree it would be!And if this tree were to fall in the sea, what a great splash there would be!【Teaching materials】
Yesterday morning Gretel went to the City of London.She wanted to see St.Paul's Cathedral.She was surprised to see so many Englishmen who looked alike.They were all wearing dark suits and bowler hats.They were all carrying umbrellas and newspapers.When she returned home she asked Mr clark about these strange creatures.“They must be typical English gentlemen,” she said.“ I have often read about them and seen photographs of them.They all look as if they are wearing a uniform.Does the typical English gentleman still exist?”
Mr.Clark laughed.“I've never thought about it,” he answered.“ It's true that many of the men who work in the City of London still wear bowler hate and I suppose they are typical Englishmen.But look at this.” Mr.Clark picked up a magazine and pointed at a photo of a young man.“He's just as typical, perhaps.It seems as if there is no such thing as a 'typical' Englishman.Do you know the English saying 'It takes all kinds to make a world'? That's true of all countries-including England.”
“Oh, just like the poem ‘If All the Seas Were One Sea’,” Gretel began to hum happily.If all the seas were one sea, what a great sea that would be!If all the trees were one tree, what a great tree that would be!And if this tree were to fall in the sea, what a great splash that would be!” Task 2 【Teaching materials】 A.1)people were much busier 2)colder than England;minus thirty degrees;last longer 3)much more mountainous;much higher and much more rocky;more beautiful

John is British but has worked in Japan.Etsuko is Japanese from Osaka, but she is studying in Britain.In the following passage you are going to hear, they are comparing life as they see it in the two countries.But before listening to it, think of the two countries and try to answer the following pre-listening questions.John: I found that living in Japan, people were busier.They seem to work the whole day.Etsuko: Yes, that’s right.We work from Monday through Saturday, even in summer.You know, summer in Japan is just horrible.It’s very, very humid and hot, and you need to shower three times a day.John: So you find it cooler in England? Etsuko: Yes, that’s right.John: Where I was living in Japan, in the North, it was much colder than England, especially in winter, minus thirty degrees centigrade.Does the winter in Osaka last longer than the winter in England? Etsuko: No, I don’t think so.December, January, February, March.John: Yes.It’s a little bit shorter if anything.Etsuko: Ever since I came here, I noticed that the countryside here in England is very beautiful.John: It’s much flatter than in Japan.Etsuko: Yes.Japan is a mountainous country and our cities are full of people.There are lots of people in a limited flat area.John: Yes, I found Japan much more mountainous than Britain, especially in the north.The mountains are much higher and much more rocky.I found it more beautiful than Britain, I think.Etsuko: Yes, if you like mountains.John: And therefore the towns and villages tend to be more crowded.Etsuko: Yes, that’s right.John: Yes.So because the cities are more crowded, the houses tend to be smaller, don’t they? Etsuko: Yes, they are very compact, and we don’t have a lot of space.In big cities we have a lot of taller buildings now.John: Is this a problem because there are more earthquakes in Japan? Etsuko: Yes, that’s right and… Task 3 【exercises】 A.1)In the US, people usually dance just to enjoy themselves;they don’t invite other people to watch them.2)Usually eight people dance together.3)Because people form a square in dancing with a man and a woman on each side of the square.4)He usually makes it into a song.5)They wear old-fashioned clothes.B.1)F 2)T 3)F 4)F 5)T C.1)eight people form a square;on each side of the square 2)what they should do;makes it into a song;sings it 3)don’t have much time to think 4)old-fashioned clothes 【teaching materials】
Rosa: Why don’t you have folk dances in the United States? Most countries have special dances that the people have done for many years.The dancers wear clothes from the old days.Everyone likes to watch them dance.Steve: We have folk dances, too.A lot of people belong to folk dancing groups.But when they dance, they usually do it just to enjoy themselves.They don’t invite other people to watch them.Rosa:
Is there a folk dancing group here? Steve: I think so.There must be.There’s one in almost every city, and some big cities have several.Rosa:
What are the dances like? Steve: Usually eight people dance together, four men and four women.When they start, they form a square, with a man and a woman on each side of the square.That’s why it’s called square dancing.Then there’s a man who tells the dancers what they should do.He usually makes it into a song.He sings it while they dance.Rosa:
Oh, that should make the dances easy!
Steve:
Yes, but they are very fast.They don’t have much time to think.I like to watch them, though.The dancers wear old-fashioned clothes.That makes the dances pretty to watch.Rosa:
I’d like to watch a group dance.Steve:
I’ll take you sometime.Task 4 【teaching task】
1)It was a time to celebrate the end of winter and the beginning of spring.2)They burned the picture of their kitchen god to bring good luck.3)The custom said the brides must wear “something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue” to bring good luck.4)Because they could not eat meat, eggs or dairy products during Lent, so they tried to use up these things before Lent began.5)It was a straw man made by children in Czech;it was a figure of death.6)People brought their animals to church.And before the animals went into the church people dressed them up in flowers and ribbons.【teaching materials】
1)On the evening of February 3rd, people in Japanese families took one dried bean for each year of their age and threw the beans on the floor, shouting “Good luck in!Evil spirits out!” This was known as “Setsubun”, a time to celebrate the end of winter and the beginning of spring.2)Before the Chinese Lunar New Year in the old days, many Chinese families burned the picture of their kitchen god to bring good luck.When Lunar New Year's Day came, they put ancw picture of the kitchen god on the wall.3)When American women got married, they sometimes followed an old custom in choosing what to wear on their wedding day.The custom said the bride must wear “something old, something new, something borrowed, and something blue”.This was to bring good luck.4)Before Lent(a time on the Christian calendar), the people of Ponti, Italy ate an omelet made with 1,000 eggs.People could not eat meat, eggs or dairy products during Lent, so they tried to use up these things before Lent began.5)When winter ended in Czech, the children made a straw man called “Smrt”, which was a figure of death.They burned it or threw it in the river.After they destroyed it, they carried flowers home to show the arrival of spring.6)January 17th was St.Anthony's Day in Mexico.It was a day when people brought their animals to church.But before the animals went into the church, the people dressed them up in flowers and ribbons.This ceremony was to protect people's animals.Task 5 【exercises】 A.1)F 2)T 3)F 4)T 5)F 6)T 7)T B.Advantages Disadvantages Lots of servants to do the work Terrible life for servants beautiful clothes to wear very uncomfortable clothes lots of tea parties boring and formal tea parties — often no men being invited life being slower much more illness plenty of time to talk to each other children left with servants all day
very poor education
no freedom for women 【teaching materials】
Man: Well, I think life used to be much more fun than it is now.I mean, look at the Victorians.They had lots of servants to do all the work;they never had to do any cooking or cleaning;they just wore those beautiful dresses and went to tea parties.Woman: You must be joking!Their clothes were terribly uncomfortable and their tea parties were very formal and boring.They used to wear their hats and long gloves even when they were eating cakes and biscuits.And men were not usually invited.Man: Really? Weren't they? Woman: And think of the poor servants.What a terrible life — just cleaning and cooking for other people all the time!
Man: But you hate housework!Woman: Yes, I know, but there are lots of machines now to help you with the housework.People don't need servants.Man: Maybe they don't, but life then was much slower than it is now-people nowadays are always rushing, and they never have time to stop and enjoy themselves.Woman: Life then was fine for the rich, but it was dreadful for the poor.There was much more illness.They didn't have the money to pay doctors, and they often used to die of illnesses that don't exist in England now.Man: Maybe.But people used to talk to each other, play the piano or play cards together.Nowadays people just sit in front of the television for hours and never talk to each other.Woman: I agree with you about television;but what about their children? They left their Children with the servants all day.Children hardly ever saw their parents!And the clothes they had to wear!Horrible, tight, uncomfortable, grown-up clothes.Children have a much better life now than they used to, and schools and education are much better too.Man: I hate school.Woman: And look at opportunities for women.In those days, women used to stay at home, play the piano, change their clothes several times a day and have tea parties.What a life!They didn't have any freedom at all.I'm very happy living now.I can work, have a career, do what I want to.Man: You mean you can work hard all your life like a Victorian servant.Woman: Life isn't all tea parties, you know.Task 6 【exercises】 A.1)b 2)a 3)c 4)a B.1)family unit;process;change;used to be;the extended;the nuclear
2)job patterns;progressed;agricultural;industrial;forced;job opportunities;split up 3)traditional;family;expanded;other living arrangements C.1)mother, father, children, and some other relatives, such as grandparents, living in the same house or nearby 2)only the parents and the children 3)previously married men and women marry again and combine the children from former marriages into a new family 【teaching materials】
The American family unit is in the process of change.There used to be mainly two types of families: the extended and the nuclear.The extended family most often included mother, father, children, and some other relatives, such as grandparents, living in the same house or nearby.Then as job patterns changed and the economy progressed from agricultural to industrial, people were forced to move to different parts of the country for job opportunities.These moves split up the extended family.The nuclear family became more prevalent;this consisted of only the parents and the children.Now besides these two types of traditional groupings, the word “family” is being expanded to include a variety of other living arrangements.Today's family can be made up of diverse combinations.With the divorce rate nearly one in two, there is an increase in single parent homes: a father or mother living with one or more children.“Blended families” occur when previously married men and women marry again and combine the children from former marriages into a new family.On the other hand, some couples are deciding not to have any children at all, so there is an increase in childless families.There are also more people who live alone: single, widowed, divorced.Now one in five Americans lives alone.Task 7 【keys】 A.Men Women Both Study subjects like history or English

In Japan both men and women go to university and both men and women study the arts such as history or English.But very few women study science, medicine or engineering.In engineering classes of thirty or forty students, there may be only one or two women.Men and women both go to university in order to get good jobs: men want to work for a big company, be successful, earn a lot of money and support a family;women, on the other hand, want to work for a big company because they have a better chance of meeting a successful man and getting married.This is changing, however, as Japanese women begin to think about their own careers.They have began to take jobs which they like rather than jobs in order to find a husband.Men work for their whole lives and usually stay with the same company.A woman may work up to ten years, but after that she usually gets married.Most women are married by the age of twenty seven, then they stay at home and look after the children.A man does not cook or look after the children.When he comes home, his meal must be ready.The woman may go out in the afternoon, shopping with her friends or having a chat, but she must go back home by four o'clock to prepare the meal.Then she may have to wait a long time for her husband to come home.Often he has to go out for a drink after work: if he doesn't he may not rise very high in the company.After her children grow up, a woman can go back to work, but it is not easy.If her former company takes older women back, she might be lucky.But most women find it difficult to find a job when they are older.Task 8 【keys】 A.1)a 2)c 3)b 4)c 5)c 6)b 7)c 8)b B.1)T 2)T 3)F 4)F 5)T 6)F 7)F 8)F 9)T 10)F 【teaching materials】
Matthew: Geth, how do people set about getting married in England?
Geth: I suppose the most common way is still for people to go home.For example, people who live in London now will go back to their homes in the provinces where they'll meet all their relatives and their parents, and they'll get married in a church, with the bride wearing white, the traditional white.Then they'll go off and have a booze-up with their relatives and friends and a jolly good time will be had by all.Otherwise you can get married in a registry office, which means you turn up with your bride-to-be or bridegroom-to-be with two witnesses only.The ceremony takes about five minutes, I suppose.You sign the form and that's it.Matthew: There are many today who say that marriage is a complete waste of time.What's your view of marriage in the twentieth century?
Goth: Well, I live in London as you know.I think in London, the tendency is to...for a...boy and girl, man or woman to live together before marriage and often to live together without any prospect of marriage at all.I think this probably is...is true of London and the other big cities than elsewhere, because after all people in London are living in a big place where home ties are obviously less restrictive.They can do more or less as they please and I think this is the pattern.Matthew: But do you think it helps for people to live together before taking their vows?
Geth: I think in a sense the habit of living together before marriage may, in a strange sort of way, make marriage stronger, because after all the people will know each other better when they do get married and it might be suggested that divorce would be less likely between such a couple.Matthew: Sue, you've been married for two or three years now.How's it working out?
Sue: I think it's a successful marriage.It's...I mean, it's difficult to say why, because we basically suit each other very much.We have a good friendship, apart from anything else, and, you know, we just go together very well because we respect each other's freedom and individuality, but on the other hand we really need each other, you know, it's...Matthew: What about.., have you thought of having children?
Sue: Well, obviously, like most young couples, we have thought about it, but, you know, we both feel rather, sort of, loath to lose our freedom just yet.I think we'll probably wait another few years.Matthew: Is it easy in England today to people to get divorced, or is that quite difficult?
Chris: I think technically it's probably fairly easy, I think, because I'm not English but, I think technically it's fairly easy to be...to get divorced.But it's not just the technicality of it which is the problem.Divorce is...is a social stigma which people can probably Cope with to varying degrees, but it's also a lot easier for the man because the woman, after she is divorced is, in fact, frowned upon by...by a lot of people in society.She is...is...at a...a much more difficult social position in terms of...of meeting other men, or whatever, simply because she is a divorcee.Task 9 【keys】
Social customs and ways of behaving change.But they do not necessarily always change for the better.Things which were considered impolite many years ago are now acceptable.Just a few years ago, it was considered impolite behaviour for a man to smoke on the street.No man who thought of himself as being a gentleman would make a fool of himself by smoking when a lady was in the room.The important thing to remember about social customs is not to do anything that might make other people feel uncomfortable — especially if they are your guests.There is a story about a rich nobleman who had a very formal dinner party.When the food was served, one of the guests started to eat his peas with a knife.Other guests were amused or shocked, but the nobleman calmly picked up his knife and began eating in the same way.It would have been bad manners to make his guest feel foolish or uncomfortable.

The fastest animal on land is the cheetah.It can run at a speed of about 100 KM an hour.The fastest bird in the world can fly at 170km/h, and the fastest fish can swim at more than 100 km/h.Human beings are not very fast.The fastest man in the world can only run at about 40Task 2
The fastest animal on land is the cheetah.It can run at a speed of about 100 KM an hour.The fastest bird in the world can fly at 170km/h, and the fastest fish can swim at more than 100 km/h.Human beings are not very fast.The fastest man in the world can only run at about 40km/h.Many animals can run faster than this.But most animals run on four legs.Four legs are better than two, aren’t they? Why do we only have two legs?
Scientists say that we are more intelligent than other animals because we stand on two legs, so we can use our hands for other things.We can pick things up with them.We can use tools.Human beings have used tools for millions of years.That is why our brains have developed.That is why we have become the most intelligent animals in the world.In the past few years, we have made all kinds of machines.We have made cars, ships, aero planes and spacecraft.In these machines we can travel faster than any animal—by land, by sea, or by air.We can even go to the moon.No other animal has ever done that!
Task 3
A: You know, we’re studying dinosaurs in science class.It’s really interesting.B: Oh, yeah? Hey, have you learned why the dinosaurs disappeared?
A: Well, no one knows for sure.B: I thought it had something to do with the climate.The temperature might have gotten cooler and killed them off.A: Yeah, that’s one theory.Another idea is that they may have run out of food.B: Uh-huh.And you know, there’s even a theory that they could have been destroyed by aliens from outer space
A: That sounds crazy to me!
Task 4
For the shortest life, the first prize must go to the mayfly, which typically lives only a matter of a few hours after it emerges from its shell.Few mayflies live to see the sun rise again.These creatures devote their whole lives to a single desperate mission: finding a mate and producing young.They don’t even have functional mouths and stomachs.They simply have no time to eat.In fact they have no time for anything else.The record-holder for the longest life may be the Arctic clam, one of which lived quietly underwater for 220 years.However, it did not have any birth certificate to prove this.One could only judge by its growth rings.If you insist on better documentation, the oldest animal ever was probably a tortoise that died in 1918.It had been captured already full-grown in 1766, nine years before the American Revolution began, and it died 152 years later as WWⅠcame to a close.Task 5
Every year about 17 million animals are used in laboratory experiments.But in many countries today, a difficult question is being asked: Do we have the right to use animals in this way?
People who are for using animals in research argue that the use of animals in medical research has many practical benefits.Animal research has enabled researchers to develop treatments for many diseases, such as heart disease and depression.It would not have been possible to develop vaccines for disease like smallpox and polio without animal research.Every drugtakes today was tried first on animals.Future medical research is dependent on the use of animals.Which is more important: the life of a rat or that of a three-year-old child?
Medical research is also an excellent way of using unwanted animals.Last year, over 12 million animals had to be killed in animal shelters because no one wanted them as pets.However those who are against it point out that the fact that humans benefit cannot be used to justify using animals in research any more than it can be used to justify experiment on other humans.Animals suffer a lot during these experiments.They are forced to live in small cages, and they may be unable to move.Much of the research that is carried out is unnecessary anyway.Animals have the same rights as humans do—to be able to move freely and not to have pain or fear forced on them.Researchers must find other ways of doing their research, using cell culture and computer modeling.There should be no animals in research lab at all.Task 6
Visitors to the National Zoo in Washington D.C.can see three new young tigers.The rare babies met the public for the first time late last month.Chip O’ Neal tells us about them.The mother tiger sat nearby on the grass as her babies rolled, chased and bit each other
playfully.Then Korenchy also jumped into the games.Her cubs were born at the zoo four months ago.They are called Mike, Eric and Chrisy.The new young tigers at the National Zoo each weigh about 13kg, their fur is dark orange with black stripes.They eat horse meat and drink milk form Korenchy.Korenchy and her babies are Sumatran tigers.Sumatran tigers came from the Indonesian island of Sumatra.They are now in danger of disappearing form the earth.Fewer than 500 of these tigers remain in the world.That includes about 60 living in zoos in North America.Korenchy came to the National Zoo from the Jakarta Zoo in Indonesia.The gift was part of the Sumatran Tiger Species Survival Program.Korenchy has given birth to live cubs three times.The father of her new cubs is Rokan, a Sumatran Tiger who arrived two years ago from another zoo.Korenchy and Rokan had their babies the natural way instead of the scientific method often used to produce young animals in zoos.A wire fence separates Rokan from his babies.Zoo workers who care for Rokan say he reaches through the fence to wash the cubs with his tongue.They say this means he recognizes Mike, Eric and Chrisy as his cubs.However, zoo officials are hoping that Rokan will produce more cubs with another female Sumatran tiger at the zoo, so they do not want him to become too interested in this family.The National Zoo hopes to keep the Sumatran-tiger cubs for at least 18 month before sending them to other zoos.That is about the age when most tiger cubs in the wild leave their mothers.The National Zoo has placed cameras in the Sumatran tigers’ living area, so people with computers can see them.To do this, use your computer to find the National Zoo’s Website at.Task 7
Cats in America
An old expression says, ”Man’s best friend is his dog.” Today, however, it seems that cats have replaced dog as the most popular pets in American homes.Americans have more than 62 million pet dogs.But even more cats—more than 64 million—live in American homes.These pet cats may have long hair or short hair.They are different colors and sizes.Some are costly animals that take part in competitions.Many more are common American mixtures of several kinds of cats.Most house cats live a good life.They are not expected to work for their food.Instead, they rule their homes like furry kings and queens.They wait for their owners to serve them.Americans are increasingly serious about their cats.These concerns have mad the care of cats into big business.Each year, cat owners buy tons of food especially prepared for cats.They buy toys and other equipment.They buy jewelry and clothes for themselves with images of cats on them.Some owners even buy their dead pets in special burial grounds.Humans have loved and respected cats for centuries.Scientists have evidence that cats and people lived together as long as 8,000 years ago.The small house cat was once a highly honored animal.In ancient Egypt for example, people who killed a cat could be punished by death.Early in American history cats were not treated as gods, however.They probably arrived in the US with settlers and traders from Europe.These cats worked.They killed rats and mice.Sometimes, Americans mistreated their cats.During the early days of the nation, religious extremists believed that some cats were working the devil.Black cats were especially suspected of being evil.Later, American families who had enough food began taking cats into their homes.People cared for the cats because the animals game them pleasure.The cat thanked people for feeding them by making a purring sound.This pleasant noise usually means a cat is happy.Animal experts offer several reasons why cats have become so popular as house pets.They say cats need less care than dogs.And cats do not seem to suffer as much as dogs form being alone if the owners are away.Still, millions of other people do not like cats at all.They say dogs are better and more loving pets.They say cats do not have much feeling.They believe cats stay with people only to be fed.Cat owners defend their pets against such criticism.They say cats are just much more independent than dogs.A student of animal medicine explains the situation this way: dogs follow you around—they want you to talk to them and play with them a lot of the time.Cats like more space and more privacy—this does not mean they do not love their owners.Task 8
Little Steve has a pet rabbit, Bunny.He plays with it every day after school.One day his mother sees that her little boy is holding Bunny by the ears.From time to time he gives the poor rabbit an angry shake and says, “How much is two plus two?” “Steve,” says his mother, “why do you treat your poor little Bunny that way?”
“Well,” explains Steve angrily, “our teacher says that rabbits multiply very quickly, but this dummy can’t even add.”
Task 9
Most mammals live on land, but not all of them.Millions of years ago, some mammals went back to the sea and lived there.The legs of these animals disappeared, and after a long time they looked like fish.These animals became whales and dolphins.Whales and dolphins are still like other mammals in many ways.They are warm-blooded and they breathe air.They also have big brains.That is why they are more intelligent than fish.Whales have the biggest brains in the world.Their brain is bigger than the brain of a human being.

Look at the following three examples and then write down three questions of your own.7.Homework Students are asked to listen to Listening Tasks and Real World Listening materials one more time in their spare time.Tapescript for Listening Tasks:
Introducing Speakers at a Conference [Part 1] Host: Good evening ladies and gentlemen and welcome to the fifth annual International English Language Teaching Conference.Every year English language educators of all kinds—teachers, lecturers, researchers, authors and publishers—come from all over the world to share research results, strategies and fresh insights for effective English language teaching and learning.As usual, this year, we’re honored to have here some very highly regarded speakers, who are all leading experts in their fields.[Part 2] Host: We have three speakers tonight.Our first speaker this evening is Professor Ingrid Anderson.She will be talking about using mnemonics in vocabulary learning.Mnemonics are often mentioned as useful memory aids but how do they work? Ingrid Anderson will be telling us about some general principles behind mnemonics and how these principles can improve our overall learning.Ingrid Anderson has been an English language teacher for the past twenty-five years;she is the author of the widely acclaimed book Vocabulary and Language Learning and is currently a senior professor of ELT at The Institute of Foreign Languages in Shanghai.It’s my great pleasure to introduce to you Professor Ingrid Anderson.[Applause] Host: Mr.John Bhudrani will follow Professor Anderson to talk to us about another fundamental area of language—grammar.In particular John Bhudrani will be focusing on the confusing area of grammar and natural language.Why do some second language learners who pay meticulous attention to grammar, sometimes lack a natural fluency? John Bhudrani will be tackling this and other related issues in his speech.John Bhudrani’s career has taken him through twenty-two years of study, lecturing and research at Edinburgh University in the UK and Harvard University in the United States, where he is currently the head of the linguistics department.He wrote his Ph.D thesis on language teaching theory and is a leading expert in ELT pedagogy.Please welcome Mr.John Bhudranni.[Applause]
[Part 3] Host: Our final speaker will talk on a subject that teachers spend a great deal of time thinking about: motivation.Motivation has long been recognized as an important area of language learning—so how do educators create the best conditions to stimulate motivation? What can educators do when faced with a classroom of unmotivated students? Or, if a teacher is lucky enough to have well motivated students, how can that teacher get the most out of the students’ motivation? To help us find answers to these and other questions about motivation Ms.Naomi Green will be our third speaker.[Part 4] Host: Naomi Green is a highly effective and experienced language teacher.She started her career in ELT more than thirty-five years ago and since then has worked all over the world as a teacher and an administrator.She is currently the director of the British Council in Tokyo.She has a master’s degree in ELT and will soon complete a second master’s degree in applied linguistics at Reading University.She’s not only an excellent teacher but also an outstanding student of languages herself and is fluent in Spanish, French and Japanese.Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Ms.Naomi Green.[Applause]

第三次课 复合式听 T4 P47 T9 P103 复合式听写答题顺序及技巧
1.对全文进行全局性预览:尤其是第一句(topic)和最后一句(conclusion)。
2.观察空格前后的特殊现象,判断词性、单复数、时态,可分为以下几类:
(1)名词位置判断:
A、the之后是名词;介词后面是名词;动词前面是名词;No后面是名词。
(2)动词位置判断:
To后面是动词;主语后面是动词;情态动词后面是动词。(3)形容词位置判断:
Be后面是形容词;名词前面是形容词。(4)副词位置判断:
动词后面是副词。
听之时:while-listening
原则:精听,速记,以听为主,以记为辅。
如何速记:
1.省略虚词,如:如冠词,助动词等。
2.遇到词组记每个单词首字母如break down 就记作B D,但一定要自己看得懂的。
3.长单词记前三个字母,如:experience 就记作 exp。
4.符号记忆,如:more than 就记作“>”,less than 记作 “<”,equal to 记作 “=”等。
5.混合记忆,就是把上面几种方法混合起来用,还可以夹杂中文文字等。听之后:after-listening
全面检查和补全前面记录下的东西。
1.检查漏词,如:介词(in、on、at)、冠词(a、an、the)、代词(it、this、that)等。
2.检查错词
(1)长单词容易发生拼写错误,要仔细检查一遍。
(2)短单词容易和同音异义词混淆,检查时要和上下文连起来看看意思是否正确。
3.检查大小写
人名、地名、国家名、时间名(月份)、节日名、书名、文件名、商标名、历史事件名、宗教名首字都要大写,句首单词的首字母也要大写。
4.检查名词单复数,形容词、副词比较级最高级,动词时态、语态。
一.词汇听写: 1.大小写问题:专有名词,句子开头
2.单词各音节间的辅音字母注意是否双写。success, process, necessary, recommend.3.一个音节之中注意元音的拼写。
4注意不发音的字母:island, exhausted, isle(小岛), comb.5检查词尾的变形
1)名词:单数,复数,所有格,非谓语动词与谓语动词(ed, ing, s)形式,填原型的很少见。
2)形容词注意比较级以及以al结尾的形容词。Natural,personal, emotional, artificial, additional 3)副词结尾的ly:wholly, completely, emotionally.容易拼错的词:
Campaign, species, apparent, calendar, category ,changeable, committed, conscious, definitely, discipline, equipment, exceed, guarantee, leisure, license, miniature, noticeable, occasionally, possession, referred, recommend, restaurant, relevant, separate
二、句子听写:同义替换写难题 ①词汇层面上的同义替换:
1)I've got to go over my notes for tomorrow's midterm.(study)
2)We'll have to leave very early.(set off)
3)It looks like he bought out the bookshelf.(bought a lot of books)
4)I'll have to get my ticket of the flight changed.(switch to)
5)Jane is counting the days to go home for the summer.(is eager to)
6)There'll be another bus in two or three minutes.(soon)
②句子层面上的同义替换
1)You can use my new car if you drive it carefully.I agree to lend you my new car.2)The reading list of English course is enormous
It's going to require a lot of reading of the English course.3)The teacher went over last Friday’s lesson today.The teacher reviewed a previous lesson today.4)The train is behind the schedule.The train is late.5)I hate to tell you this, but I can’t seem to find them.The tools I borrowed from you are missing.6)If I were you, I would turn it in to the security office, it’s behind the administration building.Hand in the ring to the security office.
第五篇:大学英语听力教学方法探讨
内容摘要:
摘 要:听的活动在人们日常交际活动中占有重要位置,因此对于英语学习者来说,听力理解能力是英语交际能力中的重要一环。由于听力材料、文化背景知识的欠缺没有熟练掌握答题技巧等,学生在听力水平提高方面会遇到诸多障碍。本文主要就以上几方面提出了一些相关的学习策略,以帮助学生克服障碍,提高听力水平,同时促进其英语交际能力的提高。
摘 要:听的活动在人们日常交际活动中占有重要位置,因此对于英语学习者来说,听力理解能力是英语交际能力中的重要一环。由于听力材料、文化背景知识的欠缺没有熟练掌握答题技巧等,学生在听力水平提高方面会遇到诸多障碍。本文主要就以上几方面提出了一些相关的学习策略,以帮助学生克服障碍,提高听力水平,同时促进其英语交际能力的提高。关键词:大学英语 听力教学 方法探讨
听力理解能力是语言多种能力的综合反映。人们在语言文字的使用中,有45%的信息是通过听来完成的。因此国家教育部推行了大学英语教学改革,要求大学英语教学在“以学生为中心”的教学模式下,要注重培养学生的综合应用能力,尤其是听说能力。这就意味着,在教学过程中,听力教学占据了主要地位。保障大学英语教学质量,提高学生英语听力水平,要做好以下几方面的工作:
一、选择难度适宜的听力材料
听力材料的难易程度直接影响着听力训练的效果。如果材料过于简单,就达不到通过训练而提高的目的;如果材料过难,会使大部分学生在训练过程中遇到巨大的障碍,丧失继续训练的信心。因此,教师可以根据学生的听力成绩选择训练材料的难易程度,以便进行及时调整。每次训练结束后,教师都应根据学生的反馈对所选择材料的长度、生词密度、语体和题材以及听力教学的速度和方法进行反思与调整,以便找到最适合学生现阶段进行训练的听力材料。
二、重视文化背景知识的渗透
如果学生不了解语言所承载的文化信息,同样也会造成听力理解上的障碍。因此教师对于英语语言国家文化背景知识的讲解也相当必要。对英语国家文化背景知识的渗透应包括对其社会有深刻影响的最基本的内容,如古希腊、罗马神话;社会风俗,如感恩节、圣诞节;宗教信仰,如基督教及《圣经》;以及社会交际礼仪等。除此之外,目前各种精听及泛听材料本身涉及的内容很广泛,包括政治、经济、军事、文化、科技、教育等各个领域,教师也应根据听力材料所涉及的内容对有关背景知识进行一定程度的介绍,激发学生学习新知识的兴趣,帮助学生提高听力理解能力。
三、精听和泛听的结合 在学生基本适应了听力课堂,对听力需求有了增长的情况下,要对学生进行精听和泛听练习。进行精听时应让学生先把录音内容从头至尾听一遍,再把听不懂的地方集中起来,一遍又一遍地反复播放。
若有些地方实在听不懂,可以给学生一些提示,把新的单词写下来,甚至允许学生查阅有些影响理解的生词。接着让学生再从头至尾听,直到能够听懂全部内容为止。通过这样的听力训练,可促使学生提高辨音及听力理解能力。在这个时候可以让学生记录文本,锻炼他们记录的速度,随后进行复述练习。相对于精听材料要选择故事性强或者科普文章来说,泛听则相对灵活,可以让学生接触大量的原汁原味的英文材料,以求熟悉英语发音,感受英语的真实性和趣味性,扩大知识面,提高听力。
