请阅读Passage l,完成第21-25小题。 Passage 1 Self-driving vehicles threaten to send truck drivers to the unemployment office. Computer programs can now write journalistic accounts of sporting events and stock price movements. There are even computers that can grade essay exams with reasonable accuracy, which could revolutionize my own job. Increasingly, machines are providing not only the brawn but the brains, too. And that raises the question of where humans fit into this picture--who will prosper and who won´t in this new kind of machine economy? Within five years we are likely to have the world´s best education, or close to it, online and free. But not everyone will sit down and go through the material without a professor pushing them to do the work. Your Smartphone will record data on your life and, when asked, will tell you what to do,drawing on data from your home or from your spouse and friends if need be. You´ ve thrown out that bread the last three times you´ve bought it, give it a pass will be a text message of the future. How aboutNow is not the time to start another argument with your wife? The GPS is just the beginning of computer-guided instruction. Take your Smartphone on a date, and it might vibrate in your pocket to indicate Kiss her now. If you hesitate for fear of being seen as pushy, it may write: Who cares if you look bad? You are sampling optimally in the quest for a lifetime companion. A lot of jobs will consist of making people feel either very good or very bad about themselves. Coaches, mentors and disciplinarians will spread to many areas of life, at least for those of us who can stand to listen to them. These people will cajole us, flatter us and shame us into improving our lives, our work habits and our consumption. Computing and software will make it easier to measure performance and productivity. It will be harder to gloss over our failings and maintain self-deception. In essence everyone will suffer the fate of professional chess players, who will always know when they have lost a game, have an exact numerical rating for their overall performance, and find excuses for failure hard to come by. Individuals will have many measures of their proficiency. They will have an incentive to disclose that information to get the better job or social opportunity. You´ll assume the worst about those who keep secrets, and so openness will reign. Many of us will start to hate the idea of Big Data.Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined wordbrawn in Paragraph 1?
A

Job.

B

Meat.

C

Physical strength.

D

Mental agility.

    答案:
    解析:
    1.
    Yes, I do. I have taught a teenager in high school. She was the junior. I mainly taught her grammar. I found her grammar was not very systematic. So I taught her from the grammar in words to the grammar in sentences in order to make her master the whole grammar, especially those always appeared in her exams. And during the teaching, I find the most important that it is the teacher should have a better understanding of the whole grammar and the high school English course. Besides, the teacher should pay more attention to the patience. It will make students relax when their learning and get along with the students.

    Knowledge aim:
    Students will master the meaning and usage of the structure “be doing” through reading the passage.
    Ability aim:
    Students will apply the “be doing” to communicate with each other in real situation.
    Emotional aim:
    Students will be more interest in learning English.
    Key and difficult point:
    Key Point: Students will master how to improve reading abilities through finding main idea and details.
    Difficult Point: Students will apply the “be doing” to communicate with each other in real situation.
    Teaching procedure:
    Step 1: Warming-up
    1. Greetings.
    2. Play a riddle and students guess the animals, such as “long nose, big ears and strong body——elephant”, then lead to the topic of “let’s go to the zoo to see what animals are doing”.
    Step 2: Pre-reading
    1. According to the title, students have a prediction about what kinds of animals are mentioned in the passage.
    Step 3: While-reading
    1. Fast reading: students read the passage fast and figure out what kinds of animals are mentioned in the passage then make a list.
    2. Careful reading: students read the passage carefully and answer the question: what are the animals doing? Then fill in the blanks.



    1. How do you improve students’ interest in learning English?
    2. What principle should you use in the post-reading step?


    答案:
    解析:
    1.
    In the process of English teaching, teachers should enrich the teaching approaches, not only teach students through "listening, speaking, reading", but also integrate situational teaching, so that students can feel the diversity of teaching and learning.
    Besides, teachers can make use of the form of cooperative study and organize various practice activities in the classroom to create an atmosphere of mutual assistance and cooperation, so that students have positive sense of learning.
    2.
    First, we should persist in the communicative principle. In the production step of reading
    class, students should be organized in groups to cultivate their speaking ability and communicative ability. In this way, we can reach the New Curriculum Standard.
    Then, we should insist on the truth principle. That means we should provide more real materials that are closet to students’ real life, such as situation creation like what I did in this class. In this way, students’ interest can be aroused and they can apply what they’ve learned in real communication.

    1、请简述企业组织信息采集的程序。(8分)


    答案:
    解析:
    企业组织信息采集的程序如下:

    (1)调研准备阶段 在本阶段,调研人员通过对企业的相关信息进行初步分析和非正式调研,确定调研的主题内容和范围。
    ①初步情况分析。初步情况分析是指调研人员对本部门、本企业已掌握的相关信息进行初步分析,了解情况,提出假设的调研主题。要求企业和部门在提供信息时.从实际出发,实事求是,并尽可能突出重点,抓住问题的要害。
    ②非正式调研。非正式调研是指对假设的调研主题展开调查,发现新问题,淘汰旧问题,探求真正的问题所在。调研人员可以调查访问有经验的专业技术人员、相关人员和个别用户,听取他们的一般性意见,进一步明确该调查项目的具体目的和要求,做到有的放矢。
    ③确定调研目标。调研目标的确定是指在初步情况分析和非正式调研之后,逐步缩小调查范围,明确调查目的,确定调查项目的重点。

    (2)
    正式调研阶段 在本阶段,调研人员应确定获取相关信息的手段与方法,设计出科学合理的调查表格,并按预定的计划和设想,到现
    场展开调查。
    ①相关信息的来源
    a.原始资料。又称第一手资料.或初级资料.是指调研人员自己采集的资料,如企业的业务状况记录、销售记录、成本记录、用户意见簿记录、消费者反馈信息记录、对批发企 业和零售企业的调查记录等。
    B.二手资料。又称次级资料,是指经过别人采集、整理和初步分析过的资料。这种资料通过机关、企业等单位或报纸杂志获得.成本低,但很可能失实,或由于时间、地点、条件变化而使资料失去使用价值。

    ②选择抽样方法,设计调查问卷 理想的调查问卷和科学合理的抽样方法,是调研顺利进行的保证。调查问卷应根据调查内容而设置,要求做到文字简练、通俗易懂,内容简单、明确,所提的问题不宜太长、太繁,要便于被调查者回答.尽可能让被调查者用“√”或“×”来回答,这样也便于数据的统计、处理和分析。

    ③实地调查 实地调查又称现场调查,是指到现场去调查,以获取第一手资料。这一环节对调查人员的思想政治水平、工作责任心、业务技巧水平和工作能力有很高的要求,因此要对调研人员进行慎重的选择、科学的培训和有效的管理。
