3.How men first learnt to invent words is unknown; in other words, the origin of language is a mystery. All we really know is that men, unlike animals, somehow invented certain sounds to express thought and feelings, actions and things, so that they could communicate with each other; and that later they agreed upon certain signs, called letters, which could be combined to present those sounds, and which could be written down. Those sounds, whether spoken or written in letters, we call words. The power of words, then, lies in their associations - the things they bring up before our minds. Words become filled with meaning for us by experience; and the longer we live, the more certain words recall to us the glad and sad events of our past; and the more we read and learn, the more the number of words that mean something increases. Great writers are those who not only have great thoughts but also express these thoughts in words which appeal powerfully to our minds and emotions. This charming and telling use of words is what we call literary style. Above all, the real poet is a master of words. He can convey his meaning in words which sing like music and which by their position and association can move men to tears. We should therefore learn to choose our words carefully and use them accurately, or they will make our speech silly and vulgar. What is true about words?:A、They are used to express feelings onlyB、They can not be written downC、They are simply soundsD、They are mysterious.

    A Helpless Father

    The picture ironically shows that a pitiable old man in rags is being helplessly kicked off by his three sons and a daughter, who all wear decent clothes. The father’s negligent children are all guarding their home gates lest their old father “roll into” their households. In other words, they four ignore their moral sense of assuming the responsibility for their old father even though they may be all living a satisfying life. That is a painful scene we often encounter in our daily life.

    Sad to say, the moral decline of the younger generations may be a rather explosive situation in our modern society. People definitely have their living conditions improved by wider and wider margins, as evidenced by the four children’s decent dressing, but their moral sense still remains sadly unchanged or in some cases becomes dramatically downgrading. Most people might have become too much self-centered, and even worse, they discard the tradition of giving respect to the elderly. They no longer care for their elders, let alone their neighbors or the disadvantaged; instead they try every means to avoid responsibility for other citizens. When one cares for others, one might even appear stupid or may even be distrusted.

    Therefore, we have to take some useful measures to avoid the scene that is mentioned above. We must launch a variety of campaigns about the return to the good tradition of giving help and love the elderly. Moreover, we must appeal to our government to establish some relevant laws to punish those who avoid their duties. The last but not the least, our respect for age is an indication of the progress of human society, as imperatives of traditions require. We sincerely wish that the old man could be welcome to any of the four households, elegantly dressed, and a smile on the face.

    Passage Five

    In every language there are two great classes of words which, taken together, consist of the whole vocabulary. First, there are those words with which we become acquainted in daily conversation, which we learn, that is to say, from the members of our own family and from our familiar associates, and which we should know and use even if we could not read or write. They concern the common things of life, and are the goods in trade of all those who speak the language. Such words may be called "popular", since they belong to the whole people; and are not the exclusive possession of a limited class.

    On the other hand, our language includes a large number of words which are comparatively seldom used in ordinary conversation. Their meanings are known to every educated person, but there is little occasion to use them at home or in the market-place. Our first acquaintance with them comes not from our mother's lips or from the talk of our school-mates, but from books that we read, lectures that we bear, or the more formal conversation of highly educated speakers who are discussing some particular topic in a style. raised above the habitual level of everyday life. Such words are called "learned". And the distinction between them and "popular" words is of great importance to a right understanding of the language.

    51. One class of words can be learned ______.

    A. through everyday life

    B. without too much practice

    C. from popular songs

    D. with a dictionary in one's hand

    1. Greetings. Talk about the weather.
    2. Chant with the students
    Tomato tomato wash wash wash
    Tomato tomato cut cut cut
    Tomato tomato cook cook cook
    Tomato tomato eat eat eat
    Ask them if they remember the first step in the chant. They may say that it is to “wash” the tomato. Then tell them that today we are going to learn some pronunciation in it.
    Step 2: Presentation
    1. Draw some pictures according to different words, and then explain the meanings to the students.
    2. Play the finger show with the students to consolidate the words. For example, finger 1 refers to “chicken”, and finger 2 refers to “lunch”. When the teacher points finger 1, the students should read “chicken” loudly. The rest could be done in the same manner.
    3. Ask students to find similarities and differences among the words. They may say that in the first two words, there is “ch” in the words, while in the last two words, there is “sh” in the words. And they pronounce similarly.
    4. Conclude the rules of “ch” and “sh”. Tell them that when they see “ch”, they should pronounce [ch], and when they see “sh”, they should pronounce [sh]. They may sound similar, but they are different. Please be notice that.
    Step 3: Practice
    1. Ask a few students if there are other words containing “ch” or “sh”. They may answer “chopsticks”, “ship” or “shop”.
    2. Read the words in a different order, and ask students to rank the words according to the listening. At the same time, invite one students to come to the front and write the words down on the blackboard. Check answers later.
    Step4: Production
    Ask students to make up dialogues with their deskmates. 5 minutes will be given. After that, invite 2 pairs to share their dialogues. Give encouragement.
    Step5: Summary and Homework
    Summary: Ask a student to conclude the content of the lesson and summarize with the whole class.
    Homework: Read the words to their parents.
    Blackboard design:



    1. What will you do to help students master the pronunciation of what we need to learn?
    2. What will you do if the students can’t focus on your class?


    答案:
    解析:
    1.
    First, they should know how to pronounce the syllables. So I will pronounce them exaggeratedly to let them notice the place of articulation. I will correct their pronunciations if they make some mistakes. Then, I ask them if they know other words sharing the same syllables. Also, few activities were arranged to make them really use the rules. So I believe they will master the rules of the pronunciations.
    2.
    There are some options to deal with the problem. First, I could arrange some interesting activities to stimulate their interest. Second, when imparting some knowledge, I could show some examples closely related to their daily lives. They will be interested in familiar things. Third, I could ask some students to answer my questions from time to time, so they will be more focused in case of being asked. So I will try to use the most appropriate method to attract their attention.

    Directions: Write a composition of no less than 140 words, giving your views about Intellectual Dishonesty. You should describe the phenomenon first and then give some reasons and possible measures to take.

    正确答案:
    Recently, the issue of intellectual dishonesty has gained much more attention and it has become a hot topic since some scandals have been exposed. Honesty is considered as one of the most cherished virtues. Anyone who wants to be successful cannot do so without this reputation. However, in the academic circle, the phenomenon of intellectual dishonesty shows a tendency to increase.
    The reasons accounted for this phenomenon can be explained as follows:
    Firstly, some professors rely on copying others’ works in order to get high reputation in their research fields. This can be achieved without too much hard work and it is comparatively easier.
    Secondly, there exists some kind of standard in such places as universities. Therefore, some people plagiarize in order to meet the standard as well as to get more money when they have the papers published.
    It is obvious that intellectual dishonesty has exerted harmful effects on our society and human civilization as a whole. To solve this problem, it is imperative for the government to enact laws to severely punish those who plagiarize.

    正确答案:
    The Best Way to Keep Fit and Healthy A fit and healthy body is the base of wealth and wisdom. Good health enables us to enjoy our life and achieve what we hope for in our career. On the contrary, poor health tends to deprive us of our interest in everything around us. Only by keeping ourselves healthy and strong can we feel energetic and vigorous in studying, working and living a happy life. People aware of the health problems bring up with a lot of ways to keep fit and healthy. However, the best way to keep fit and healthy is to exercise more and eat properly.
    Firstly, physical exercise is very crucial in order to keep fit and healthy. In taking part in out-door sports, we are closer to the nature and can take in fresh air. The beauty of nature will keep us clear-headed, which is essential to our health. Secondly, proper nutrition is important for our body, so we have to keep a balanced diet and maintain a regular eating habit. It is important for us to take more fruits and vegetables because they provide vitamins and they help in the process of digestion. At the same time, we should avoid eating too much food rich in sugar and fat.
    In conclusion, if we stick to the proper ways of exercise more and eat properly, we’ll lead a healthy life and become as fit as a fiddle.
