3.Energy is the currency of the ecological system and life becomes possible only when food is converted into energy, which in turn is used to seek more food to grow, to reproduce and to survive.4.It is probably less well known that even with their stored fat, wild animals spend less energy to live in winter than in summer.5.Now, Shaw is exaggerating, but there is something in what he says, and the question is worth following up, for the sake of the light it throws on modern knowledge.6.This is a credulous age, and the burden of knowledge which we now have to carry is partly responsible.7.At times, they see important reasons to lie for the patient’s own sake;in their eyes, such lies differ sharply from self-serving ones.8.We are becoming increasingly aware of all that can befall patients in the course of their illness when information is denied or distorted.9.Tuesday morning found me in the kitchen, fumbling with the lid of the doughnut box, when I heard my father say something about the World Trade Center.10.Our destiny offers not the cup of despair, but the chalice of opportunity.So let us seize it, not in fear, but in gladness.11.Do something such as planting more trees, equipping cars with pollution-control devices and learning to recycle natural resources to improve the present situation.12.In the way of conquering and exploiting, human being got what they currently need, but they forgot to protect the nature in the way of conquering.13.By using the intelligent information inquiry system in any station on this line, you can find exact information about transfers to public buses, and information about the weather, bulletins, and the timetable of this line.14.As part of the campaign to deal with the gender imbalance, the government had banned all gender identification tests that not medically essential, and has outlawed sex-selective abortions.15.Studies say that the population trends pose significant barriers to European’s 21st century goals of full employment, economic growth and social cohesion.16.With the advent inventions like cell phones and hand computers it is becoming more and more difficult to escape from work—the boundaries between work and leisure are gradually becoming blurred.17.Most people hold that going to classes is a very good an irreplaceable way for students to obtain knowledge and skill.18.A good college education opens students’ minds to their possible futures.And

1.Somewhere or other — I think it is in the preface to Saint Joan — Bernard Shaw remarks that we are more gullible and superstitious today than we were in the Middle Ages, and as an example of modern credulity he cites the widespread belief that the earth is round.The average man, says Shaw, can advance not a single reason for thinking that the earth is round.He merely swallows this theory because there is something about it that appeals to the twentieth-century mentality.2.To speak truly, few adult persons can see nature.Most persons do not see the sun.At least they have a very superficial seeing.The sun illuminates only the eye of the man,but shines into the eye and heart of the child.The lover of nature is he whose inward and outward senses are still truly adjusted to each other, who has retained the spirit of infancy even into the era of manhood.His intercourse with heaven and earth becomes part of his daily food.In the presence of nature, a wild delight runs through the man, in spite of real sorrows.Nature says, he is my creature, and maugre all his impertinent grieves, he shall be glad with me.Not the sun or the summer alone, but every hour and season yields its tribute of delight.3.Sharp conflicts are now arising.Patients are learning to press for answers.Patients’ bills of rights require that they be informed about their condition and about alternatives for treatment.Many doctors go to great lengths to provide such information.Yet even in hospitals with the most eloquent bill of rights, believers in benevolent deception continue their age-old practices.Colleagues may disapprove but refrain from objecting.Nurses may bitterly resent having to take part, day after day, in deceiving patients, but feel powerless to take a stand.4.Old age is neither inherently miserable nor inherently sublime-like every stage of life it has problems, joys, fears and potentials.The process of aging and eventual death must ultimately be accepted as the natural progression of the life cycle, the old completing their prescribed life spans and making way for the young.Much that is unique in old age in fact derives from the reality of aging and the imminence of death.The old must clarify and find use for what they have attained in a lifetime of learning and adapting they must conserve strength and resources where necessary and adjust creatively to those changes and losses that occur as part of the aging experience.三.按照以下话题准备2分钟的演讲稿:(考试将由以下内容中随机抽出1个话题考核)
1.2.3.4.5.6.7.8.Who are under more pressure and need more care, men or women? Do you want to be a celebrity? And tell the reasons.What is the power of education in your mind? Do you like the country life or city life? Why or why not? What’s you suggestions about environment conservation? Is organic food(有机食品)healthier?What will effect a successful job interview?

第三篇:大学英语听说能力研究
【摘要】 随着大学英语四、六级改革的实施,以及社会的快速发展,传统的大学英语教学方法,已日渐显出弊端。最为突出的问题就是在实际教学中忽视学生实用英语能力的提高,“聋子英语”及“哑巴英语”现象普遍。因此探索、研究提高听说能力的教学方法,创新教学观念和教学内容,成为大学英语教学自身改革和发展的需要。
【关键词】 听说能力;英语教学;教学方法研究、探索“提高听说能力”的背景
当前大学英语教学中还存在不少问题,英语教学难以适应社会变革和发展需要。从新世纪高等教育人才培养发展战略高度看,最为突出的问题就是在实际教学中对学生英语综合应用能力的培养不够重视。特别是面对四、六级改革以及社会的新需求,原来的应试教育已暴露出各种弊端,学生学习缺乏主动性;同时由于某些学校教师对四、六级考试认识不到位,把重点放到了片面追求通过率和应付考试上,为考而教,为考而学,在教学中忽视了学生实用英语能力的提高,造成普遍的“聋子英语”及“哑巴英语”现象。英语教学费时多,效率低,所以各方面对深化英语教学改革的呼声极为强烈。
因此改革大学英语教学模式,创新教学观念和教学内容,势在必行。如何提高高校大学英语教学水平,尤其是听说能力的提高,创新性地开展教学工作,培养大学生的综合素质,成为当前高校大学英语教学探讨的一个重要问题。研究英语听说能力新教学方法的目的和意义
随着改革开放步伐的加快,中国与外部世界的联系更为密切,英语不仅仅是人们交流和沟通的工具,更重要的它还是提升国际竞争力的手段。在国际交往中,英语被广泛使用,已成为一种世界上相对通用的语言。因此,进一步深化大学英语教学改革已迫在眉睫、势在必行。针对大学英语的改革,研究提高听说能力的方法,是我国经济社会发展、高等教育发展的需要,也是大学英语教学自身改革和发展的需要。
其次,从人才培养角度考虑,随着我国教育由应试教育向素质教育的转变,外语教学的目的也应该越来越突出培养学生的外语交际应用能力。英语课堂是教学的主要场所,它的质量直接影响着教学的质量,学生应用语言的综合素质。改革传统的以教师为中心的课堂教学,提高教学质量是每一位教师关心的问题。把握高校大学英语教学创新的理论基础和实践应用,在素质教育的今天,有着重要的意义。提高听说能力的探索
3.1 提高听力能力 四、六级改革后,听力部分比例和题量大大提高,听力材料涉及对话、讲座、广播电视节目,内容形式更多样化,这充分反映了提高听力能力的重要性。听力是决定英文水平的要件,它反映了一个人的英语交流能力。
听的能力是在听的实践中提高的。任何理论的讲解都是辅助性的。在教学中要让学生明白以下几点:(1)熟能生巧。在教学的过程中,积极鼓励学生利用一切机会,多听、勤听。(2)精听为主,泛听为辅,精泛结合。在听力训练的过程中,有的材料要仔细听,注意用精听来提高准确率。(3)材料的选取要难易适度,并注意趣味性。(4)注重词汇量的扩大,尤其注意归纳一些词组、习语的用法;了解口语表达特点。(5)重视语音,掌握正确的语音语调。(6)要学会区分主要信息与次要信息并忽略次要信息。(7)听力提高并非“听力”提高。它其实代表着英语综合能力的提高,即发音、词汇、词组、习语、文化思维等诸方面能力的提高。(8)增加对英美文化的了解。(9)注意课堂教学的趣味性。补充一些学生感兴趣同时又贴近生活的一些资料,既提高学生的听力,又扩大学生的知识面,同时也活跃课堂气氛。
3.2 提高口语表达能力 口语能力的提高也是这次四、六级考试改革的目的。衡量英语口语水平有四大要点:(1)语音、语调是否正确,口齿是否清楚;(2)会话的流利程度;(3)表达当中语法是否正确,用词是否恰当,是否符合英语表达习惯;(4)内容是否充实,逻辑是否清楚。
总的来说,要提高口语表达能力,具体在教学中应注意以下几点:(1)加强文化导入,创造浓厚的英语文化氛围。(2)学生要熟练掌握口语,就必须掌握范围广阔的、基本得当的日常用语,以服务于交流目的。(3)以主题为基础的训练法。这可使说和写的训练更为有序,目的更为明确。(4)要循序渐进,持之以恒,充分发挥教师的主导地位和学生的主体地位,让学生明确自己是会话的主体,积极主动地参与到口语的练习中,而不是被动的被老师提问。(5)注重话题的实用性与趣味性。(6)积极开展多种形式的课外活动。(7)复述是提高英语口语能力的一条有效途径。学生在复述过程中,将听到、看到和读到的内容经过思维加工,用自己的语言口头表达出来,进行口语实践。(8)教师还可凭借现代多媒体教学手段,运用图像刺激,培养创造想象能力,创造出一个图文并茂,绘声绘色轻松愉快的教学情景。
总之,在教学中教师应该合理运用,因材施教,还应从教材中挖掘和创新,通过不同方式把课内外口语训练结合起来,让每一个学生都投入到活动中去,从而使语言学习变成真正有意义的语言交流。

5.What can you infer from the passage? Exercise2
Answers:
scripts:the 10th planet?
On July 29,2005 Dr Mike Brown of the California Institute of Technology announced the discovery of a new planet in the solar system.The planet, which hasn’t been officially named yet, was found by Brown and his colleagues in California.It is currently about 97 times farther from the sun than Earth.This places the new planet more or less in a dark realm beyond Neptune where thousands of small icy bodies orbit the sun.The planet appears to be typical of such objects — only much bigger.Its sheer size in relation to the nine known planets means that it can only be calssified as a planet itself, Brown says.The planet was also discovered by two other astronomers, Chad Trujillo in Hawaii, and David Rabinowitz of Yale University.They first photographed the new planet on October 31, 2003.the object was so far away, however, that its motion was not detected until they reanalyzed the data in january of this year.In the last seven months, the scientists have been studying the planet to better estimate its size and its motions.This new planet is the largest object found in orbit around the sun since the discovery of Neptune and its moon Triton in 1846.It is larger than Pluto, which was discovered in 1930.The planet’s temporary name is 2003 UB 313.a permanent name has been proposed by the discovers to the International Astronomical Union, and they are waiting for the decision of this body before announcing the name.Passage 2
Questions for Exercise 1
1.Why did the 5-year-long war between the Medes and the Lydians suddenly stop ?
2.What happened in 1991?
3.Why was the solar eclipse in 1991 called “the Eclipse of the Century”?
4.What interesting things happened during the 1991 eclipse?
5.What can you infer from the passage? Answers to Exercise 2
Scripts: a solar eclipse
On May 28 in 585 BC the Medes, who were from what is now northern Iran, were in battle with the Lydians who lived in what is now Turkey.To the horror of both sides, the sun disappeared.The war had been going on for five years, but the Meedes and Lydians were so frightened at this ill omen that they made peace.Today, astronomers are able to explain such disappears of the sun.on its trip around the earth, if the moon passes directly between the sun and the earth, then it prevents rays of the sun from reaching the earth and causes a temporary darkening.This is what is known as a solar eclipse.A solar eclipse can last as long as seven and a half minutes.During the 20th century 228solar eclipses, mostly partial ones, have taken place.In 1991, there was a total eclipse of the sun.because the moon passed directly in the line of sihgt between the sun and the earth, its shadows spread a path of darkness across the land.This path extended from Hawaii to South America in what astronomers called “the Eclipse of the Century.”
Instead of being frightened by the eclipse as had ancient peoples, people flocked to Hawaii and Mexico to view the awesome sight.Scientists viewed the eclipse from an observatory on a volcanic peak in Hawaii.In the continental United States, however, only a partial eclipse occurred.Unfortunately, as a result of a cloud cover, this partial eclipse was barely visible.Interesting things happened during the 1991 eclipse.For example, animals in a zoo in Mexico City headed into their dens when the eclipse began.When sun reappeared, roosters crowed as if it were morning.And light-sensitive lamps flickered on at the beginning of the eclipse and flickered off at the end.Part D:

Cherish the love from others As a college students ,I think ,it is a must and necessary event for our everyone in the world.Because , we live in the world ,we can receive the love and the help from people around us from time to time.Even though , some love can not play important role when we are in difficult.We also should cherish their love for us.It is not only our reward to the people who help us but can see one person quality to others.All in all , I think ,we should cherish the love for others.Be aware of mental health Abstract with the development and changes of the modern society, the future society put forward higher requirements for the quality of people, requiring every person to have the spirit of facing the reality, not being afraid of difficulties having the pioneering spirit, with the ability to co-operation, communication and the innovative spirit.This means that the cross-century generation not only should have good intelligence quality, but also have a healthy psychology.So we can say, kindergarten education is the foundation of the quality education of our people, it is not only the preparation for the primary stage of learning and living, more importantly, the preparation for their lifelong development and health psychology.Therefore, we should be aware of mental healthy
