4.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.

    As to whether college students should use Internet, people have different opinions. On the one hand, Internet is one of the most useful means to get knowledge for college students. They can get on line every day to exchange information through e-mails with friends and teachers. But on the other hand, many people admit that they are too much addicted to Internet to maintain a regular and wholesome lifestyle.
    Therefore, it is necessary for us to use Internet in a reasonable way and restrain from overindulgence. After all, Internet is invented to improve the efficiency of our work rather than shackle us with a chain.

    The grammatical words which play so large a part in English grammarare for the most part sharply and obviously different from the lexical words. Arough and ready difference which may seem the most obvious is that grammatical    1._______words have “less meaning”, but in fact some grammarians have called them      2._______“empty” words as opposed in the “full” words of vocabulary. But this is a rather 3._______misled way of expressing the distinction. Although a word like theis not the name  4._______of something as man is, it is very far away from being meaningless; there is a    5._______sharp difference in meaning between “man is vile” and “the man is vile”, yet theis the single vehicle of this difference in meaning. Moreover, grammatical words   6._______differ considerably among themselves as the amount of meaning they have even in th  7._______lexical sense. Another name for the grammatical words has been “little words.”But size is by no mean a good criterion for distinguishing the grammatical words   8._______of English, when we consider that we have lexical words as go, man, say, car.    9._______Apart from this, however, there is a good deal of truth in what some people say:we certainly do create a great number of obscurity when we omit them. This     10._______is illustrated not only in the poetry of Robert Browning but in the prose of tele-grams and newspaper headlines.

    二、考题解析
    【教案】
    Teaching aims:
    Knowledge aim:
    Students will master the meaning and pronunciation of the words.
    Ability aim:
    Students will know how to pronounce “ch” and “sh” in words.
    Emotional aim:
    Students will be interested in learning English.
    Key and difficult point:
    Key Point:
    Students will master the meaning and pronunciation of the words.
    Students will know how to pronounce “ch” and “sh” in words.
    Difficult Point:
    Students will be interested in learning English.
    Teaching procedure:
    Step 1: Warming-up
    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.
