    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.
    2.

    Second, I will visit some good teachers who is teaching the high school and learn some experience and practice my teaching ability.
    Last, I need to reflect myself to improve my knowledge and my teaching procedures.

  • 第13题:

    问答题
    Directions: In this section, there is one passage followed by 5 questions. Read the passage carefully, then answer the questions in as few words as possible (not more than 10 words). Remember to write the answers on the Answer Sheet.  Questions 1-5 are based on the following passage.  If you were on a distant planet, and if you had instruments that could tell you the composition of Earth’s atmosphere, how would you know there was life on this planet?Water in the atmosphere would suggest there could be water on the surface, and as we all know water is considered crucial to life. But water would only suggest that life is possible. It wouldn’t prove it’s there.  Carbon? That basic component of “life as we know it?” Not necessarily. A diamond is pure carbon, and it may be pretty, but it isn’t alive.  What really sets Earth apart is nitrogen, which makes up 80 percent of the planet’s atmosphere. And it’s there only because there is abundant life on Earth, say scientists at the University of Southern California  The report grew out of a class discussion two years ago in a course taught by Capone and Kenneth Nealson, professor of earth sciences. Students were asked to come up with different ideas about searching for life on other planets. What is a distinct “signature,” as Capone puts it, that would show there is life on another planet?  That’s a question that has been kicked around in many quarters in recent decades, especially since all efforts to find some form of life, no matter whether on Mars or in the distant reaches of space, have failed. At least so far.  The current effort to search for some evidence of life on Mars focuses primarily on the search for water, because it has long been believed that water, or at least some fluid, is necessary for the chemical processes that lead life to take place. But that’s probably the wrong approach, the USC group argues.  “It’s hard to imagine life without water, but it’s easy to imagine water without life,” says Nealson, who was on the Mars team before moving to USC.  But nitrogen would be a much clearer signature of life. Only about 2 percent to 3 percent of the Martian atmosphere is nitrogen. That’s just a trace, and it probably means there is no life on Mars today, and if there was in the past, it probably ended many, many years ago.  But, the USC team adds quickly, that doesn’t mean there’s no life anywhere else in the universe. They don’t know where, of course, but they may have found a way to narrow down the search. Look first for nitrogen, then look for biological activity that should be there.  So if life exists elsewhere, and is similar to life as we know it, there should be nitrogen, and that’s what we should be looking for first, the researchers say.  If they don’t find nitrogen on Mars, Capone says, “that will probably bring us to the conclusion that there likely never was life on Mars.”  But how about elsewhere? Could this technique be used to search for life in other solar systems?  Maybe. It might be possible to detect a nitrogen-rich atmosphere around a planet orbiting another star, but not yet. Current instruments aren’t that sensitive.  If they ever are, the search for life might be narrowed down to the most promising prospects, chiefly because of the presence of nitrogen. And won’t that be fun!  Questions:  1.What can suggest life is possible but cannot be proved according to the author?  2.What is a clear “signature” of life on another planet according to Capone?  3.What is considered as a wrong way to search for evidence of life on Mars?  4.What can probably prove there is no life on Mars today based on the new theory?  5.Why is it impossible to use the new technique to search for life in other solar systems now?

    正确答案:
    1.Water. 根据文中第二段,水只能表明生命存在的可能性,但不能证实。
    2.Nitrogen. / The presence of nitrogen. 文中第九段第一句话很明确地告诉我们nitrogen would be a much clearer signature of life。
    3.The search for water. 第七段最后一句话指出,在火星上通过搜索水来搜索生命的存在是不正确的。
    4.The small amount (2% to 3%) of nitrogen in the Martian atmosphere . 文中第九段中提到火星上氮的含量很少可以表明目前火星上没有生命的存在。
    5.Because current instruments aren’t very sensitive. 文中第十四段指出,由于现在的设备还不是那么敏感,所以不能够用来在太阳系的其他星球上探测生命。
