Practice 3  Look at 2006 through a different lens and you’ll see another story, one that isn’t about conflict or great men. It’s a story about community and collaboration on a scale never seen before. It’s about the cosmic collections of knowledge Wikipedia and the million-channel people’s network You Tube and the online metropolis MySpace.  The tool that makes this possible is the World Wide Web. It’s not the crazy dotcom Web of the late 1990s. The new Web is a very different thing. It’s a tool for bringing together the small contributions of millions of people and making them matter. Silicon Valley consultants call it Web 2.0, as if it were a new version of some old software. But it’s really a revolution.  And we are so ready for it. You can learn more about how Americans live just by looking at the backgrounds of You Tube videos-those messy bedrooms and disordered basement entertainment rooms—than you could from 1,000 hours of network television.  We didn’t just watch. And we also worked in a crazy way. We reviewed books at Amazon and recorded Podcasts. We blogged about our candidates losing. We camcordered bombings and built open-source software.

4.186. Do you sometimes argue about what seems to you to be simple fact? Do you argue whether it’s cold outdoors or whether the car in front of you is going faster than the speed limit? If you get into such arguments, try to think about the story about the six blind men and the elephant. The first blind man who felt the elephant’s trunk said it was like a snake. The second who felt the elephant’s side said it was like a wall, while the third said it was like a spear as he touched the animal’s tusk. The fourth, who had hold of the elephant’s tail insisted that it was like a rope. The fifth man said it looked like a tree as he put his arms around one of the elephant’s legs. The sixth, who was tall and got hold of the elephant’s ears, said it was like a huge fan. Each man’s idea of the animal came from his own experience. So if someone disagrees with you about a “simple fact”, it’s often because his experience in the matter is different from yours. To see how hard it is for even one person to make up his mind about a “simple fact”, try this simple experiment. Get three large bowls. Put ice water in one. Put hot water in the second. Put lukewarm water in the third. Now put your left hand in the ice water. Put your right hand in the hot water. After thirty seconds, put both hands in the lukewarm water. Your right hand will tell you the water is cold. You left hand will tell you it’s hot! [共5题](1) What makes people think about simple facts differently?(A) The fact that simple facts differ from one another.(B) The fact that people have different experience in the same simple fact.(C) The fact that people often disagree with on another.(D) The fact that it’s hard to make up one’s mind about simple facts.(2) Which of the following temperature is the closest to the meaning of the word “lukewarm” in the last paragraph?(A) Above 0℃. (B) Above 40℃. (C) Above 20℃. (D) Below 0℃.(3) The writer’s advice is ________.(A) we should never think about simple facts(B) we should never judge something with a one-sided view(C) we should not agree about simple facts(D) we must learn from the six blind men(4) After reading the last paragraph, we may think of ________.(A) Newton’s law(B) Crallilao’s theory of falling objects(C) Einstein’s theory of relativity(D) Marx’s On Capital(5) The main idea of this passage is ________.(A) people often judge something according to his own experience(B) people often agree about simple facts(C) it’s hard for a person to make up his mind about a simple fact(D) don’t care too much about simple facts

参考答案和解析
正确答案: 【参考译文】
换一个角度来看2006年,你会看到另一番景象,它与冲突或伟人无关,是有关规模空前的社区与合作;它与浩如烟海的百科知识总汇Wikipedia、百万视频的大众电视网You Tube以及在线大都会MySpace有关。
使这一切成为可能的工具是万维网。它不是20世纪90年代末那个疯狂的.corn网络。这个新网络是个截然不同的事物;它是一个工具,它把数百万人的微小贡献汇集起来并使之产生意义。硅谷的咨询专家们称之为Web 2.0,仿佛它是某个旧软件的新版本,而它实际上是一场革命。
我们早已为它作好准备。只需看You Tube上视频短片背景——一片狼藉的卧室和凌乱不堪的地下休闲室,你就比花1000个小时看电视网的节目能更多地了解美国人的生活。我们并非只是观看,我们还以一种近乎疯狂的方式参与进来:我们在亚马逊网站写书评及录制自己的播客,我们写博客谈论我们支持的候选人的失败,我们摄下炸弹袭击的画面以及编写开放源代码软件。

  • 第1题:

    B

    Open Letter to an Editor

    I had an interesting conversation with a reporter recently---one who works for you. In fact, he's one of your best reporters. He wants to leave.

    Your reporter gave me a copy of his resume (简历) and photocopies of six stories that he wrote for you. The headlines showed you played them proudly. With great enthusiasm, he talked about how he finds issues (问题), approaches them, and writes about them, which tells me he is one of your best. I'm sure you would hate to lose him. Surprisingly, your reporter is not unhappy. In fact, he told me he really likes his job. He has a great assignment (分工), and said you run a great paper. It would be easy for you to keep him, he said. He knows that the paper values him. He appreciates the responsibility you've given him, takes ownership of his profession, and enjoys his freedom.

    So why is he looking for a way out?

    He talked to me because he wants his editors to demand so much more of him. He wants to be pushed, challenged, coached to new heights.

    The reporter believes that good stories spring from good questions, but his editors usually ask how long the story will be, when it will be in, where it can play, and what the budget is.

    He longs for conversations with an editor who will help him turn his good ideas into great ones. He wants someone to get excited about what he's doing and to help him turn his story idea upside down and inside out, exploring the best ways to report it. He wants to be more valuable for your paper. That's what you want for him, too, isn't it?

    So your reporter has set me thinking.

    Our best hope in keeping our best reporters, copy editors, photographers, artists---everyone--is to work harder to make sure they get the help they are demanding to reach their potential. If we can't do it, they'll find someone who can.

    60. What does the writer think of the reporter?

    A. Optimistic.

    B. Imaginative.

    C. Ambitious.

    D. Proud.

    Part A

    Directions: Read the following four texts. Answer the questions below each text by choosing A,B, C or D. Mark your answers on ANSWER SHEET I. (40 points)

    Text 1

    We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. "Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen? .... When I got that great job, did Jim really feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy my luck?" "And Paul—why didn't pick up that he was friendly just because I had a car?" When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, it' s too late.

    Why do we go wrong about our friends or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if we don' t really listen we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, "You' re a lucky dog." That' s being friendly. But "lucky dog?" There's a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesn't see it himself. But bringing in the "dog" bit puts you down a little. What he may be saying is that the doesn't think you deserve your luck.

    "Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for," is another noise that says one thing and means another. It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole. But is he? Wrapped up in this phrase is the thought that your problem isn’t important. It' s telling you to think of all the starving people in the world when you haven' t got a date for Saturday night.

    How can you tell the real meaning behind someone' s words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says agree with the tone of voice?

    His posture? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people to you may save another mistake.

    21. This passage is mainly about______.

    A) how to interpret what people say

    B) what to do when you listen to others talking

    C) how to avoid mistakes when you communicate with people

    D) why we go wrong with people sometimes

    Verne's Accurate Previw of the Future
    Since the beginning of time,man has been interested in the moon.The Romans designed a special day to show admiration and respect to the moon.They called it“Moonday”,or “Monday”,as we know it today.Later,the great mind of Leonardo da Vinci studied the moon and designed a machine to carry a human to the moon.Leonardo said that one day a great machine bird would take a person to the moon and bring great honor to the home where it was born.
    Four and a half centuries later,Leonardo's idea was realized.Apollo Ⅱ took three
    Americans一Collins,Aldrin,and Armstrong一to the moon.The mission did fill the whole world with great surprise,as Leonardo had said it would.Numerous essays,articles,and books were written about man's first moon mission.But perhaps the most interesting story was one written before the event一over 100 years ago.
    In 1865,French author Jules Verne wrote a story about the first journey to the moon.His story was very similar to the 1969 Apollo Ⅱ mission.
    Verne's spacecraft also contained three men一two Americans and a Frenchman.The spacecraft was described as being almost the same size as Apollo Ⅱ .The launch site in Verne's story was also in Florida.The spacecraft in Verne's story was named the“Columbiad”aa.The Apollo Ⅱ command ship was called“Columbia”.His account of sending the space-craft into the space could easily have been written about how Apollo Ⅱ was sent into the space.
    Verne's story was the same as the actual event in several other respects.The speed of Verne's spacecraft was 36,000 feet per second;Apollo's was 35,533 feet per second.Verne's spacecraft took 97 hours to reach the moon;Apollo's time was 103 hours.Like Apollo's spacemen,Verne's spacemen took pictures of the moon's surface,relaxed on their seats, cooked with gas,and experienced weightlessness.They also came down in the Pacific and were picked up by an American warship.
    What were the reasons for Jules Verne's extreme accuracy in describing an event 100 years or more before it actually occurred?He based his writings on the laws of physics and astronomy(天文学).Nineteenth-century science and the vivid Verne's imagination gave people an unbelievable accurate preview of the greatest events of the 20th century.

    Leonardo da Vinci said that a great machine bird would______.
    A:bring great honor to the moon

    SUCCESS AND FAILURE It’s clear that success and failure are important and common topics. Every business has its ups and downs, and so does every person. In other words, sometimes we succeed and sometimes we fail. Another common way of saying this is “You win some and you lose some.” Nobody wins all the time, not even in the great success stories that we read or hear about. Think of a successful entrepreneur. Now, do you think that person achieved great success on their first attempt In 99% of cases, the answer is no. Every successful businessperson learned through failure. Now have a look at your favorite business news site. You’ll see that almost every story can be put into either the category of success or that of failure. Businesses either grow or shrink but they don’t remain the same.

    二、考题解析
    【教学设计】
    Teaching aims:
    Knowledge aims:
    Students will know about the relation between shadow and the sun through reading the passage.
    Students will master the usage of comparative degree in the reading.
    Ability aim:
    Students will apply the comparative degree to retell the story.
    Emotional aim:
    Students will be more interest in learning English.
    Key and difficult point:
    Key Point: Students will master the usage of comparative degree in the reading.
    Difficult Point: Students will apply the comparative degree to retell the story.
    Teaching procedure:
    Step 1: Warming-up
    1. Greetings.
    2. Play a riddle--it rises up and goes down every day, what is it? and students guess it’s the sun, then lead to the story about the sun.
    Step 2: Pre-reading
    According to the word “sun”, students have a brainstorm about what natural phenomenon about sun they have known.
    Step 3: While-reading
    1. Fast reading: students read the passage fast and figure out what the tree and the duck are talking about.
    2. Careful reading: students read the passage carefully and answer the question: why does the shadow get longer when the sun gets lower? And underline the words with “er”.
    3. The teacher explains the words with “er” to the students.
    Step4: Post-reading
    1. Students work in pairs to make a role-play (one is the little duck, the other is the old tree) to make a conversation according to the passage.
    2. Students work in groups to find the real reason why the shadow gets longer when the sun gets lower.
    Step5: Summary and Homework
    Summary: ask a student to conclude the content of the lesson and summarize with the whole class.
    Homework: students tell the story to their parents.
    Blackboard design:



    1.Do you think repeated practice is suitable for English learning?
    2.What do you think of English class activities such as role-play?


    答案:
    解析:
    1.
    Reciting is a way of practicing. There is a gap between understanding English and using English. For students, even if they think they can remember what they learn in class, after class while applying the knowledge taught in class, it possibly doesn’t work very well. So it is a practice way but we can not only use it. We need to use more practice ways together reciting to ensure the effect of teaching and learning.
    2.
    English class activities play an important role in English teaching. These performances can stimulate students' interest in learning English, mobilize students' enthusiasm for learning English, activate classroom atmosphere, reduce students' learning pressure, help students overcome fear of English learning, cultivate students' participation awareness, cooperation spirit and leadership ability.

    Verne's Accurate Previw of the Future
    Since the beginning of time,man has been interested in the moon.The Romans designed a special day to show admiration and respect to the moon.They called it“Moonday”,or “Monday”,as we know it today.Later,the great mind of Leonardo da Vinci studied the moon and designed a machine to carry a human to the moon.Leonardo said that one day a great machine bird would take a person to the moon and bring great honor to the home where it was born.
    Four and a half centuries later,Leonardo's idea was realized.Apollo Ⅱ took three
    Americans一Collins,Aldrin,and Armstrong一to the moon.The mission did fill the whole world with great surprise,as Leonardo had said it would.Numerous essays,articles,and books were written about man's first moon mission.But perhaps the most interesting story was one written before the event一over 100 years ago.
    In 1865,French author Jules Verne wrote a story about the first journey to the moon.His story was very similar to the 1969 Apollo Ⅱ mission.
    Verne's spacecraft also contained three men一two Americans and a Frenchman.The spacecraft was described as being almost the same size as Apollo Ⅱ .The launch site in Verne's story was also in Florida.The spacecraft in Verne's story was named the“Columbiad”aa.The Apollo Ⅱ command ship was called“Columbia”.His account of sending the space-craft into the space could easily have been written about how Apollo Ⅱ was sent into the space.
    Verne's story was the same as the actual event in several other respects.The speed of Verne's spacecraft was 36,000 feet per second;Apollo's was 35,533 feet per second.Verne's spacecraft took 97 hours to reach the moon;Apollo's time was 103 hours.Like Apollo's spacemen,Verne's spacemen took pictures of the moon's surface,relaxed on their seats, cooked with gas,and experienced weightlessness.They also came down in the Pacific and were picked up by an American warship.
    What were the reasons for Jules Verne's extreme accuracy in describing an event 100 years or more before it actually occurred?He based his writings on the laws of physics and astronomy(天文学).Nineteenth-century science and the vivid Verne's imagination gave people an unbelievable accurate preview of the greatest events of the 20th century.

    The passage suggests that Jules Verne______.
    A:developed the laws of physics
    B:based his writing on the works of Leonardo da Vinci
    C:was very lucky in what he had described about the future
    D:knew a great deal about the laws of physics and astronomy
