【题目】A lot of students around the world have to wear uniforms every day, but dress codes are not the same in every country.【1】
Not all children like to wear uniforms in their everyday life. When I was a school girl, I had to wear a uniform. It was a dark brown dress with a black apron. I couldn’t wear anything else. All the girls in my country had to wear this uniform.【2】
I remember how I hated to put on my uniform every morning. I couldn’t even use colorful hairpins because colorful things were prohibited. All the pupils looked the same, and nobody liked that uniform.
My friends and I talked about it very often. 【3】 All we wanted was to feel comfortable and to be different from other children.
Nowadays, the dress code in my country has changed. There are no more uniforms. 【4】 For example, my younger brother, who is a high school student, now likes to wear jeans because they are comfortable, and he doesn’t want to change back to a uniform.
However, the government now wants to make a new dress for schools and require uniforms again. Fortunately, the new uniform is supposed to be less formal than the old one.
【5】 If children prefer to wear colorful clothes, adults should permit them to do so. Kids have to enjoy going to school. That is why everything has to be done to make pupils feel comfortable at school.
A. For boys, it was a dark blue suit.
B. Wearing a uniform has a special meaning for students.
C. They depend on the culture and traditions of each country.
D. Caring too much about how they dress shouldn’t be a big concern for students.
E. We imagined how we would dress if there were no uniforms.
F. Children can dress whatever they like.
G. In my opinion, it is good idea to have a freestyle dress code.
【答案】
【1】C
【2】A
【3】E
【4】F
【5】G
【解析】本文为介绍说明文。文章讲述了作者穿校服的经历和感受,指出校服存在的问题,并陈述了自己对校服的建议。
【1】根据空前的but dress codes are not the same in every country(但是每个国家的着装标准是不一样的)可知,此处指“它们(着装标准)取决于一个国家的文化和传统”。故选C。
【2】根据前文的It was a dark brown dress with a black apron…All the girls in my country had to wear this uniform.可推知,说完女孩应该说男孩,故此处是说男学生穿什么样的校服。故选A。
【3】根据前文的My friends and I talked about it very often.及后文All we wanted was to feel comfortable and to be different from other children.可知,此处“我们想象着要是没有校服我们会穿什么衣服”符合语境。故选E。
【4】前一句说“没有校服了”,再根据下文的举例可知,此处是讲“孩子们可以穿他们喜欢的衣服”。故选F。
【5】根据下文的If children prefer to wear colorful clothes, adults should permit them to do so.可知,此处指“一个自由的着装标准是不错的主意”。故选G。
【题目】根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Does this situation seem familiar to you? Your English is progressing well, the grammar is now familiar, the reading comprehension is no problem, and you are speaking quite fluently. 【1】First of all, remember that you are not alone. Listening is probably the most difficult job for almost all learners of English as a foreign language. The most important thing is to listen as often as possible. 【2】 The Internet is really a useful tool for English students. You can download The RealPlayer from RealMedia.com. The RealPlayer allows you to use the Internet like a radio station.Once you have begun to listen on a regular basis, you might still be frustrated by limited understanding. 【3】Here is some of the advice I give my students:● Accept the fact that you are not going to understand everything.● Stay relaxed when you do not understand, and try listening to the material for more times.● Do not translate everything into your native language.● 【4】 Don’t concentrate on details before you have understood the main ideas.● Listen to something you enjoy.I remember the problems I had in understanding spoken German when I first went to Germany. In the beginning, when I didn’t understand a word, I insisted on translating it in my mind. This method usually resulted in confusion. 【5】Firstly, translating creates a barrier between the listener and the speaker. Secondly, most people repeat themselves constantly. By remaining calm, I noticed that even if I did not pay much attention I could usually understand what the speaker had said.
A. What should you do? |
B. Listen for the general idea of the conversation. |
C. But you can’t follow a native English speaker at all! |
D. But listening is a problem for most of the beginners! |
E. So, what you need to do is to find listening resources. |
F. However, after several weeks, I got used to the new environment in Germany. |
G .Then, after the first six months, I discovered two extremely important facts.
【题目】请认真阅读下列短文, 并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。注意: 每个空格只填1个单词。请将答案写在答题纸上相应题号的横线上。
How Technology Can Help Language Learning
Intelligence, according to Howard Gardner, is of eight types—verbal-linguistic, logical-mathematical, musical-rhythmic, visual-spatial, bodily-kinesthetic, interpersonal, intrapersonal, and naturalistic. This is the first in a series of posts that explore and understand how each of the above forms of intelligence is affected by technology-mediated education.
Verbal-linguistic Intelligence involves sensitivity to spoken and written language, the ability to learn languages, and the capacity to use language to accomplish goals. Such intelligence is developed by three specific activities: reading, writing and interpersonal communication—both written and oral. The traditional tools that have been used to efficiently develop verbal/linguistic intelligence—textbook, pencil, and paper—are giving way to technology in many schools. E-books, Internet lesson plans, online assignments and word processing software, or a subset of the above, are now common in schools. Technology allows addition of multisensory (多种感觉的) elements that provide meaningful contexts to help comprehension, thus expanding the learning ground of language and linguistics.
Research into the effect of technology on the development of the language and literacy skills vis-à-vis reading activities of children has offered evidence for favorable effects of digital-form books. A study shows that digital reading materials have become common in developing countries in early childhood classrooms to support engagement in storybooks while enhancing the emergent literacy (早期读写能力) among children. E-books are also being increasingly used to teach reading among beginners and children with reading difficulties.
Technology can be used to improve reading ability in many ways. It can enhance (加强) and sustain the interest levels for children by allowing immediate feedback on performance and providing added practice when necessary. Recent research shows that students are able to improve their sight word vocabulary, fluency, and comprehension through computer-based reading.
Technology can also help in improvement of writing skills. Word processing software promotes not only composition but also editing and revising in ways that streamline the task of writing. Desktop publishing and web-based publishing allow the work to be taken beyond the classroom into a virtual world that allows more constructive interactions.
Technology enhanced oral communication is indeed useful in that it allows students from remote locations, or from all over the world to communicate orally through video and audio conferencing tools. For example, students of languages in Australian universities overcome the problem of insufficient contact with native language speakers by using online audio and video tools that allow the development of aural, vocal and visual-cognition skills that are important in verbal and linguistic education. Oral group discussions in the form of video conferencing can help non-native speakers of a language with natural language negotiation and cultural intonations in ways that have not been possible due to geographic isolation.
Computer definitely aided language learning and computer mediated communication enhance teaching and learning experiences in the areas of linguistics and language intelligence. Although there have not been comprehensive studies on the use of technologies to aid K-12 English-language learners, there have been many individual computer programs and other technologies that accelerate the acquisition of phonics, vocabulary, fluency, and reading-comprehension skills and other language building blocks.
