《大学英语视听说教程》教学大纲
扬州大学《大学英语视听说教程》教学大纲Syllabus for Viewing, Listening and Speaking: A MultimediaApproach●课程编号：10051001-4●课程类别：公共基础课●适用专业：英语专业之外的所有专业●后续课程：大学英语拓展课程、通识英语教育课程、专业英语●总学分：8学分（每学期2学分）●教学目的与要求：《大学英语视听说教程》旨在传授英语试听基础知识，对学生进行全面严格的口语技能训练，培养学生实际运用语言的能力，主要是口头交际能力，逐步达到在英语口头表达方面准确与流利相结合。
其教学目的包括：（1）培养学生全面的语言综合应用能力。
在必要的语言技能训练基础之上，加强学生运用语言知识分析和综合应用语言的能力。
课堂主要练习口语，课后在网络学习平台上练习听力、模仿会话，并进行语音和语调的训练。
课堂教学以口语训练为主，形式包括分组讨论、双人问答、角色扮演、演讲等。
教材相关的音视频材料由学生利用校园网教学平台自主学习，教师监控管理并就学生提出的问题进行网上答疑，参与论坛讨论。
（2）培养学生的口头交际能力。
本课程的基本手段是通过让学生接触到大量的音视频文字及听力材料，增加语言输入，然后经过对语言的模仿最终达到对语言的自如运用。
因此，第一、二学期着重于语言基本功的训练，如语音、语调、语法、朗读、复述能力。
第三、四学期则着重让学生用所掌握的语言知识，条理清晰、逻辑严谨地口头表达观点与思想。
在两个学年的学习中，学生应从大量的口语实践中完成从单纯模仿到自由运用的过渡。
（3）增加学生对所学语言国家文化的了解。
语言是文化交流的媒介，交际过程无时无刻不体现着文化之间的差异，所以本课程的目标之一就是培养学生观察和理解所学语言的社会环境，使其掌握正确、得体的表达方式。
（4）提高学生观察分析问题的能力。
本课程的课文素材绝大多数选自国外的教科书、报刊、影视剧等。
它们一方面为学生提供了丰富的有关英语国家的资料；另一方面也为学生展示了外国人对社会诸方面问题的看法。

ToorHow do you usually travel? Do you go with a close friend or a group of friends? Do you join a tour group? Do you travel with your family? Have you ever imagined "going solo"? In the mid 1990s, it was estimated that 9 million Americans were planning a summer vacation alone. Since then, the number of solo travelers has increased.You may think that traveling alone would be scary or boring. Well, according to people who do it, that's not exactly true. Solo travelers often have positive experiences: they make new friends, get to know themselves better, and can make their own schedules.There are many different things you can do on a vacation alone. Some solo travelers use the time to learn or practice a sport such as golf, mountain climbing, or scuba diving. Others go and stay on a ranch and learn how to ride a horse. You can pretend to be a cowboy or a cowgirl for a day!You may not believe this, but some travelers like to study on their vacation. They even go to "vacation college" at a university or join a research team as a volunteer worker. It's hard but satisfying work. You can "play scientist" for a week or two while you help someone with their project.For solo travelers of different ages and genders, there are many travel options, There are tours for women only and for people over the age of 60. And, of course, there are trips for singles who are looking for romance. One company offers trips that focus on fine dining----there is time for sightseeing during the day and for sharing a delicious meal with new friends at night.The next time you take a trip somewhere, why don't you consider going solo?Bon voyage!Global ViewpointsP13 ADave: Before going on a trip I pay the bills, I empty the trash, and I give a house key to a friend.Alejandra: Before I leave on a trip, I have to confirm travel plans and make sure that I have requested a vegetarian meal.Thallus: Before leaving for a long trip, I turn off the lights, I turn off my heater, I give my keys to my roommate, and I water my plant.Julianna: The funniest story of m}'r traveling experience was w hen I came to the . for the first time by myself. They lost my luggage and I didn't speak a word of English. I had to use my hands to explain myself. People understood what I meant and they helped me out.Catherine: My recent trip to Africa was one of the most amazing trips of my life, This was my second trip to T anzania, Africa. We visited a lot of villages, some very remote that we had to travel by helicopter. In T anzania, it's very different from America so there are no maps. So, even traveling in a helicopter, we didn't really know where we were going to go. We didn't really know the village names, so we just kind of had no destination and we got in the helicopter and just flew around. And if we saw some animals or some rooftops of hut houses, we said, "Let's go there" and we just kind of landed.Dennis: I have a lot of funny experiences on the airline as a flight attendant. But one of the funniest I could recall was, there was this passenger who had a toupee and one of my flight attendants was serving---l think---she was serving food---and she had this tray. And suddenly turbulence happened, and she lost her balance---and her hand landed on the guy's head, who had atoupee. When she caught her balance again, the toupee kind of shifted, so his sideburns were on his forehead. And I had to control my laughter because you're not allowed to laugh--City LivingMexico----here we come!Sun-hee: This is going to be a great trip! I've never been to Mexico, have you?Mike: No, I haven't. Have you finished everything?T ara: Oh my gosh! Where's my bag?Sun-hee: (to Tara) It s in the closet. (into phone) Of course!

I ran errands all day and I'm ready---exhausted---but ready.Mike: What did you have to do?Sun-hee: (holds up ticket) Well, first I had to confirm my flight--Claudia: My ticket! Where's my ticket? Have you seen it?Sun-hee: (to Claudia) I saw it in the bathroom.Claudia: The bathroom? Are you sure? So strange ... (holds up her ticket) Oh, you're right. Got it!Sun-hee: (holds up traveler's checks)-- then I had to get traveler's checks--T ara: Oh! My money! I've lost my wallet! (Sun-hee hands T ara her wallet) Whexv!Sun-hee: (into phone)-- then I had to pay the electricity and phone bills, (to T ara) because someone forgot-- (into phone) and then I had to change my voice mail message.Claudia: My cell phone! I don t remember where I put my cell phone!Sun-hee: (to Claudia) It's in the kitchen.Claudia: (to self) The kitchen--it's in the kitchen-- (holds up cell phone) T a-dah!Sun-hee: (into phone) These two----they're never prepared!

Let's go!Sun-hee: OK. Mexico----here we come!(all exit)T ara and Claudia: (Sun-hee re-enters to get her ticket and traveler's checks) Now--Mexico----here we come!Track 3-1-OL-9Sun-hee, Claudia, and Tara are preparing to go to Mexico for a vacation. While Sun-hee is talking to Mike on the phone, Claudia and Tara have some trouble preparing for the trip. First,T ara can’t find her bag and then Claudia doesn’t know where her ticket is. But Sun-hee is tatally relaxed because she has already finished getting ready. Sun-hee tells Mike about all the errands she had to do earlier that day. She had to confirm her flight, get travel’s checks, change her voice-mail message, and pay the bills. Finally, T ara and Claudia are ready to go and Sun-hee checks to be sure they have everything. However, after they leave, Sun-hee soon comes running back in. Why? She forgot to take her ticket and passport!Unit 4, Lesson ATrack 3-4-1 Track 3-4-2(F): Well, Jim, our next story is a strange one, isn't it?(M): Yes, Irene, it sure is. It surprised everyone. Almost 200 people on a two-week holiday trip to Saint Martin became sick. They're calling it the "holiday cruise disease." It sounds scary. What caused it? The doctors aren't exactly sure, but they know it was something in the food the passengers ate. OK, give us the details. All right, here's the story: On Friday night, the ship departed around 10 . with 300 passengers on board. By Sunday morning, some people reported feeling lightheaded. They stayed in bed. By that afternoon, more than half of the passengers had severe indigestion. Some of them got very sick. We spoke to one woman about her experience. Everyone was complaining. My stomach hurt so much I couldn't eat anything. It was really terrible! What's the situation now? Well, the ship had to return home on Monday---- after only two and a half days at sea---- and most of the passengers went straight to the hospital then.F: How are they doing now?M: They're exhausted---- many haven't slept for 48 hours---- but they're doing fine.F: That's good news. It's too bad they couldn't enjoy their vacation.M: Yes, it is. And that’s the next problem. The passengers are asking for their money back, but the company doesn't want to refund the full amount.F: What's going to happen then?M: Nobody knows. I'II keep following the story, though, and I'II have more details for you tomorrow.Track 3-4-3Chad: Hi, Doctor Park.Doctor: Hi, Chad. How are you today?Chad: Not so great.Doctor: What seems to be the problem?Chad: Well, I have a rash on my arm. I can't stop scratching it.Doctor: Is there anything else?Chad: Yes. I have a slight fever.Doctor: I see. Have you been in the woods recently?Chad: Let's see…I went hiking last week.Doctor: Maybe an insect bit you. Please sit up here. Let's take your temperature.Track 3-4-41. When I was younger and I had a sore throat my mother would always make me gargle with hot water and salt. Surprisingly, it works.2. I use aloe vera. I use it for burns and things on the skin. I think it really works.Track 3-4-OL-1 Track 3-4-OL-2M: Are you finished packing?B: Almost. I just have to check my tent one last time, I don’t want to forget any of the pieces.M: Is that your first aid kit?B: Yep.M: Well, I see bandages and some aspirin, where’s everything else?B: Like what?M: Well, your toothbrush and toothpaste for example.B: Huh…I’ll put it in, don’t worry.M: And where is your allergy medicine? You’ll need your nasal spray and some lozenges, just in case.B: OKM: Are you going to pack any lotion? You know, you might touch some poison or something…B: Mom! It’s only an overnight camping trip.M: OK. All right then. Oh, what about mouthwash? After you brush you teeth, you’re going to want to…B: Mom! I’m not preparing for a date! I’m going on a camping trip, an overnight camping trip! I think I can live without mouthwash for 24 hours!M: All right then. I was just trying to be helpful. I’m sure you’ll have a great time.Track 3-4-OL-3A: What’s wrong?B: I feel exhausted. I didn’t sleep well last night.A: Do you have a cold?B: No, I’m fine. It’s Fred, he has the flu.A: I’m sorry to hear that.B: Yeah, it’s pretty bad. He can’t stop coughing. It keeps me awake at night.Track 3-4-OL-4I stopped drinking coffee because I couldn’t sleep at night. It was had to break that habit, but now I sleep very well, and I don’t wake up in the middle of the night. If you want to stop drinking coffee, here’s some advice for you. Don’t stop drinking coffee suddenly. You might get a headache. Reduce the amount of coffee slowly. Drink juice or herbal tea instead. If you usually have coffee in the morning, go for a walk or do exercises instead. That will wake you up. And go to bed early! A lot of people drink coffee just because the feel tired.Track 3-4-OL-5 Track 3-4-OL-6Get in the habitWe all know that good habits bring in good health. But we don’t realize how much difference they can make. In the 1970s, scientists at the University of California, LA interviews seven thousand people about their health habits. Then they follow these people to see how long they lived. The scientist discovered that seven habits were closely linked with a longer life. These habits are：1. Eating breakfast everyday. 2. Avoiding snacks between . Keeping an ideal weight, not too heavy or too . Exercising regularly. 5. Sleeping 7 to 8 hours per night, not more or . Not . Drink two or fewer alcoholic drinks per day. The researchers found that these habits had a powerful effect on health. People in the study who had three or fewer of these habits lived another years. People who had six or seven could expect to live another 33 years. People age 55 to 64 with all seven good habits were as healthy as younger people age 25 to 34 who practiced only one or two of the habits. But how do you change your habits? A slow approach is the best way. Make one small change every week and be patient, it takes about 21 days to form a new habit.Track 3-4-OL-7 Track 3-4-OL-8Surprising syndromes of modem lifeR4argaret's friend is taking a new job in a faraway city. She wants to hold a farewell dinner party at her home. But she can't. Margaret suffers from CHAOS (Can't Have Anyone Over Syndrome). Her apartment is messy and she's embarrassed by it. "I've never been a tidy person," she says. "My best friend gave me some good advice. He told me to get a maid." Today it's so easy to get information--and lots of it. We receive telephone calls all day long. People expect a quick response to their faxes, text messages, and e-mail messages. I;or some people, it's too much. They have information fatigue syndrome. There is so much information, they become paralyzed and can't think clearly "I can't sleep at night because I worry," says Bahman, a college senior. "It's terrible." Hurry sickness is a straightforward name for another syndrome of modern life. "I'm always rushing. Get headaches a lot. T aking aspirin seems to help," says Mari, a mother of two and a part-time company employee. Do you engage in "deskfast" (eating breakfast at your desk at work) more than once a week? Then you, too, may suffer from hurry sickness! We've all complained about having too much work to do. Well, now about not having enough work?Underload syndrome is caused by having little or nothing to do at the office. You have topretend that you're working. Steven works as a project manager. "I can finish my work in about four hours, but I'm afraid to say anything about it. I don't want to be assigned too much work!" In severe cases, people with this syndrome can get very bored and even became depressed. Chances are you're experienced phone neck before. Another name for it would be "pain in the neck," because that's what people with this condition experience. Holding the phone between your neck and your ear for a long time causes phone neck. A good long message is the suggested treatment for this syndrome.Unit 4, Lesson BGlobal ViewpointsP65 AAlejandra: Unfortunately, I get colds a couple of times a year. When I get a cold, I feel very weak and I've got headaches, my throat aches, and I just don't want to get out of bed. So I stay home. I take medicines and try to drink a lot of liquids.Gian: When I get sick----and I mean really sick---- the first thing I do is run to the machine cabinet and try to find something to make me feel better. And if I'm not feeling better after a little while, I’ll call the doctor and trudge in to make sure that I'm really OK, and it's just a matter of time.Malinda: When I xx-as younger and I had a sore throat, my mother would always make me gargle with hot water and salt. Surprisingly, it worked.Dave: I have an aunt in Mexico that believes that toothpaste can cure everything. Toothpaste cancure burns---bee stings---uh-- bites-- it's... amazing. "I got a bee sting---- ah, put toothpasteon it." "I got burnt---- ah, put toothpaste on it." "I have cancer---- ah, put toothpaste on it."Kumiko: I use aloe vera. I use it for burns and things on the skin. I think it really works.Catherine: My father's been recently very interested in acupuncture. He's been having a lot of headaches and backaches so he's been studying up on acupuncture and he realized that if he puts a needle right here for his headache and a needle right here for his back it eases his pain. I think it works for him. For me I'm a little skeptical but I think if you really believe in it, it works.City LivingIt must be a miracle!T ara: (opening the door to find T akeshi and Mike) Hi--hi.T akeshi: Hi.T ara: Thank goodness you're here! This morning she almost fainted, then she felt very tired, and now she says she feels very lightheaded. I don't know hat to do.T akeshi: Has she seen a doctor?T ara: She won't go. She says just needs to get some rest.Mike: Did anything happen?T ara: Nothing out of the ordinary. The worst thing is, she has this big meeting with the president of the university tonight. She's been pretty anxious about it.T akeshi: OK. Let's take a look.T ara: Sun-hee, Mike and Takeshi are hereT akeshi: Hi.Sun-hee: (wakes up) Hey.T akeshi: How are you feeling?Sun-hee: Very tired--and I feel dizzy--and my stomach is killing me"' (sighs) I think I might even have a fever. Oh--why do I have that meeting with the president tonight? I can't stop thinking about it...Mike: Eat something, you'll feel better.Sun-hee :Are you kidding? I can't eat. I'm not hungry.T akeshi: Maybe you should go for a walk-- you know, get some fresh air--Sun-hee :No, I just need to rest.T ara: (phone rings) Hello? Yes ... no, this is her roommate, T ara. What? OK--I'll let her know. Thanks. (to Sun-hee) That was the president's secretary,Sun-hee :What did she say?T ara: She told me to tell you that tonight's meeting has been canceled.Sun-hee: Oh, thank goodness. Uh--Mike, can you hand me that orange juice?T ara: (to T akeshi) I don't know maybe we should call a doctor.T akeshi: (to Tara as Sun-hee starts eating and drinking) Yeah, maybe we should.Sun-hee: What's the matter? Haven't you ever seen anyone eating before?T ara: (to Sun-hee) I take it you're feeling better?Sun-hee: I am feeling pretty good. It must be a miracle, or something.T ara: (to T akeshi) Or a lucky phone call.Track 3-4-OL-9Sun-hee doesn’t feel well, so T ara asks Takeshi and Mike to come over. When they arrive,T akeshi asks Sun-hee how she is feeling. Sun-hee says she’s very tired, a little dizzy, and that she might even have a fever. T ara then explains that Sun-hee has also been very anxious about a meeting with the president of her university. Mike tells Sun-hee to eat something, but she says.”I can’t eat. I’m not hungry.”Then the phone rings. It’s the president’s secretary. She tells T ara to tell Sun-hee that tonight’s meeting has been canceled. When Sun-hee gets the news, she starts to feel much better and says,”it must be a miracle or something.”But her friends know it’s not a miracle. She was just really nervous about the meeting!Unit 7．Lesson ATrack 3-7-1 Track 3-7-2Conversation 1Host: Hello, Spencer. How are you?Spencer: Fine, thank you. I'm excited to be here.Host: Great! I see a photo in your hand. What is it?Spencer: Well, it's a picture of something that's famous worldwide.Host: Wow! Look at that! Is it yours?Spencer: It certainly is. I didn't buy it, though. My father gave it to me.Host: How did your father get it?Spencer: He carried it in the 1984 0ly-mpics. Ile was one of the runners. After the Olympics finished, he bought the torch and gave it to me.Host: You must be athletic, too, right?Spencer: No, not at all. I'm terrible at sports.Host: Well, what was your father's event?Spencer: He ran the 800 meters. He won his first race, but lost the second one.Host: Fascinating ... Well, your father wasn't only a strong athlete ---- he was also a good collector. Do you have any idea how much the torch is worth?Spencer: Not at all,Host: It's a good item to have. It's probably worth several thousand dollars.Spencer: Wow!Host: What are you going to do with it?Spencer: For now. I'm going to keep it. Someday I'II give it to a museum.Conversation 2Host: Hi, Greta, it's nice to see you've brought us a fun object.Greta: Yeah. I really like it.Host: Did you play with it when you were a kid?Greta: A little, but not so much. My brother played with it all the time. I played with my teddy bear collection.Host: Do you know anything about this toy?Greta: I did some research. I know it was make in Germany by the Lehmann Company. I'm not sure of the date.Host: OK-- anything else?Greta: That's about it.Host: Well, let me tell you a little bit about the Lehmann Company. Their toys were very popular in the first half of the twentieth century. They're still making toys today, Greta: I didn't know that.Host: How much did you pay for this toy?Greta: Nothing. A neighbor gave it to us before he moved away.Host: Oh, that's good news because unfortunately, this toy is not a Lehmann toyGreta: It's not?Host : Nope. I'm sorry, but it's a fake.Greta: You're kidding!Host: No, I'm not. Look at the bottom of the toy. A Lehmann toy will have the letter "e"。

Research on autism is revealing more and more about the potential that people with autism have to contribute to society, but public (and private) services and programs for people with autism are often not up-to-date with the latest research. Thus, families struggle to find the funding and programs that have the most hope of helping their loved ones. Children with autism sometimes have trouble caring for themselves physically, so this is also a challenge for their families. Some people with autism have special visual and spatial abilities, for example an extraordinary ability to recognize patterns in data or visual information; others have extraordinary talent in music or art; still others have extraordinary memories. These are just a few of the abilities that have been found in people with autism.)C. Vocabulary1、B2、A3、C4、B5、C6、C7、B8、C9、A10、AD. Listen for Main Ideas1、N2、T3、F4、F5、T6、FE.

⼤学英语听说教程3unit5youthUnit 5 YouthPart APre-listening TaskQuestions for Discussion1. When did you realize that you’d grown up2. How do you celebrate Youth Day3. Have you ever done any volunteer work If yes, what was it4. What do you think of youth as a stage in one’s life5. What do you think you should do while you’re young6. What role should young people play in society7. What qualities do you value most in a young personLanguage FocusHere are some sentences and structures that you may find useful in discussing the above questions.I realized I’d grown up when I became a teenager / knew I shouldmake decisions for myself / knew I should be responsible for my own actions / attended my “Adult Oath” taking ceremony / began to take part-time jobs to earn my own living expenses.On Youth Day, we usually have a meeting to remember the heroic deeds of young people back in 1919 / the Student Union organizes a great many activities, such as singing, dancing, games, and film shows / we often volunteer to do something for our community.I often thought about volunteering my time to a local charity ora community organization in order to help those who are in need / for the welfareof society.I like to do volunteer work. In this way I can learn about myself,learn about others, learn many new things that I cannot learn from books and meet a lot of interesting people.Our school offers a wide range of volunteer programs / opportunities, such as planting trees for the community, helping others to learn to read, tutoring school children, assisting library staff in re-shelving books, visiting senior citizens at nursing homes. Youth is the golden age of a person’s life / the hope for the future / a time of freedom and joy.Youth comes but once in a lifetime.While young, we must prepare ourselves for the future by studying hard and by involving ourselves in meaningful causes.I think young people must also know how to enjoy life while young.I like to go out and make new friends whenever I can. I like to visit websiteswhere young people can discuss their experiences with others.I think modern youth should not bury themselves in their ownday-to-day affairs, but be concerned with important issues of the world.As the youth of the 21st century, we should work together to make the world a place where people can live in peace, having decent shelter and clean water / be healthy and educated and protected from violence, abuse andexploitation.I often think about current global / environmental issues,particularly in the light of how they affect us young people. I want to find ways in which I myself can take action in my community.Compassion, commitment, bravery, creativity and being a team player are qualities I value most in a young person.Part BListening TasksPassage 1AshleyWord Bankantibiotic n. a medical substance produced by living things, able to destroy or stop the growth of germs 抗⽣素，抗菌素resistant a.not damaged or affected bysth. 有抵抗⼒的bacteria n.very small living organisms, some kinds of which can cause disease 细菌 (the plural of bacterium)supergerm n. a very powerful germ that is resistant to known antibiotics 对现有抗菌素有抵抗⼒的超级细菌virtual a.having the effect of being sth., though not officially recognized as such 事实上的（但并⾮正式的）tap water running water ⾃来⽔resistant bacteria bacteria that are unaffected byantibiotics 对抗菌素有抵抗⼒的细菌Crown Princess a female heir to a throne 有王位继承权的公主，⼥王储science fair a competition where grade school or high school students present their science project results and in thisway compete in science and technology activities （中⼩学⽣）科技作品竞赛展览West Virginia a state in the eastern United States 西弗吉尼亚州（美国东部⼀州）Stockholm the capital of Sweden 斯德哥尔摩（瑞典⾸都）Ashley （⼈名）Script:While reading a magazine, Ashley, a sixteen-year-old girl, came across an article which said that antibiotics and other drugs were discovered in European rivers and tap water. This led her to think that such drugs might also be present in the waters near her home in West Virginia.Ashley feared that antibiotics in the waters could lead to resistant bacteria, or supergerms. They can kill countless people.She began testing her area’s river —the Ohio. With a simple device she herself had designed, she collected 350 water samples from the Ohio over ten weeks. She taught herself to analyze the samples by reading scientific journals. It was one of the most scientifically sound projects for someone her age.Her experiment was one of the first of its kind in the United States. It showed that low levels of three antibiotics are indeed present in local waters. Ashley’s study won the International Stockholm Junior Water Prize, a virtual Nobel Prize for teenagers. She won a $5,000 scholarship and was received by Sweden’s Crown Princess Victoria.Her interest in science came from walks in the woods with her mother. But it was the day-to-day stuff — how water comes to the tap, how rain sticks to glass, that most fascinated her. “Science is not a dead thing,”she says. “It’s happening all around us.”By the sixth grade, she was winning at science fairs. She has received $70,000 in prize money, which she has put aside for college. She plans to attend Harvard University. “I want to make my own discoveries, and not just read about what others have done,”she said. Her teachers predict that she will one day win a Nobel Prize.Exercise 1Listen to the passage and choose the right answers to the questions you hear.1. What is the story mainly abouta.

They worked on various aspects of the campaign and even appeared in the “Not for Sale”commercial on television and the radio against tobacco companies.REBEL stands for Reaching Everybody by Exposing Lies. It is a statewide youth initiative which fights against tobacco companies. The movement began in Novemberlast year. It carries the message that teenagers no longer want to be targeted by tobacco companies in their advertisements. The group realized that one of the biggest problems that teenagers face is peer pressure on them to smoke or do drugs. Therefore, the group is working hard to ensure that their message reaches all teenagers at New Jersey schools.When the group was first formed, there were only five members, all eighth grade students. But by this summer the group had grown to close to 90 members. At a recent recruiting party, a pizza and pool party, at the West New York swimming pool, more than 50 new members were attracted to the group.“We don’t think that too many people would be interested,”said Jackie, one of its founding members. “But everyone knows our message. They know who we are now.”Exercise 1Listen to the passage and fill in the blanks to complete the answers.1. What does REBEL stand forReaching Everybody by Exposing Lies.2.

Linda may be more committed thanyou realize. But if not, tell her she should think about putting college off for a while. That could give her the push she needs to take her education seriously.Jenny: Sounds like a good idea.Roger: And if you decide she should wait, she can get a job, take classes at a community college or do an internship to get experience. She may be just one of those who need to see a bit of real life before they settle down.。

Unit One(一) While some visitors to Singapore expect a high-tech city, there are also some parts of the island that still reflect how it used to look before urban development took over.In one of the main Central Nature Reserves, monkeys still roam freely, living side by side with humans. The macaques have grown accustomed to being fed, so they look to humans as a source of food. But this in itself is problematic. As the monkeys depend more on humans for food, they venture further from their natural habitat, a phenomenon that has worried experts.There is just not enough space. Essentially, in much of Southeast Asia we‘ve seen a lot of habitat loss where rainforest has been destroyed and converted into human settlement. Singapore is a very urbanized city, and it‘s taken a lot of space, so there is not much space left for long-tailed macaques.We really need to stop encroaching into nature reserves. We need to stop building the houses so nearby the reserves, which then causes the problem of the ma caques coming into people‘s houses and raiding them. These macaques are French species so they live on the edges of the rainforests.If humans keep building the houses so near the reserves, there will definitely be a constant human-macaque conflict issue.After all, the macaques are essential to maintaining the rainforest‘s ecosystem. More should be done to protect them.（二）During the whole year‘s promotion, a series of activities will be held to promote public awareness in protecting biodiversity like summit forums and biodiversity knowledge competitions. Also, the government will conduct supervision to fight illegal hunting and other related conduct in nature reserves nationwide.Wan Bentai, general engineer at the Ministry of Environmental Protection says biodiversity is vital to human life. The Earth is colorful just because of biodiversity. If all the species were gone and there were only us humans left, humans wouldn‘t be able to survive.Biodiversity not only refers to all the species, including animals, plants and insects but also the genes and our living environment. However, dozens of species are disappearing on our planet everyday. Currently, 34,000 plants and 5,200 animals are on the edge of extinction.Scientists say many spec ies‘ extinction is attributed to human activities. Many animals are endangered because of human activities like hunting and fishing. But many animalshave a close connection with humans, so we should treat them as friends. Besides, many plants make great contributions to human life, some of which are even more precious than gold.In recent years, the number of animal and plant species has declined sharply in China due to various reasons. We need policies which protect biodiversity. And we have to find programs which can encourage and provide incentives for people not to cut down the forest, nor to destroy the habitat of rare birds, nor fisheries. We have to do many things.UNIT TWO（一）When it comes to intelligence, there has always been one fundamental question: Is intelligence a function of nature? Is it simply encoded in a child‘s genes? Or is it a function of nurture? Is it more about the environment that a child grows up in?On the one hand, if we take two people at random from the crowd, it is very likely that theirdegrees of intelligence will be completely different. However, if we take two identical twins, chances are that they will be as intelligent as each other. Therefore, a conclusion can be drawn that intelligence is to some extent something we are born with. On the other hand, though, if we put identical twins in different environments, we would find differences in their intelligence several years later, which indica tes that environment does play a crucial role in people‘s intelligence.Recently, data has clearly indicated that nurture is indeed more than 50% of the equation. That is good news for educators, but even better news for society as a whole.Fortunately, President Obama has come out in strong support of early childhood education, particularly for those children most at risk of school failure. Investing in quality pre-school opportunities clearly helps give children from poverty-stricken areas the chance at a stronger start in school and in life.If we are serious about helping our children succeed in school, if we are truly interested in ―Leaving No Child Behind,‖ we will take a hard look at this compelling data and begin investing greater sums at the early childhood level.(二)Albert Einstein was a German-born physicist, although most people probably know him as the most intelligent person who ever lived. His name has become part of many languages when we want to say someone is a genius, as in the phrase, ―She‘s a real Einstein‖. He must have been pretty brainy to discover the Theory of Relativity and the equation E=MC2.In 1999, Time Magazine named Einstein as the Person of the Century. No one could have guessed this would happen when he was in school. He was extremely interested in science but hated the system of learning things by rote memory. He said it destroyed learning and creativity. He had already done many experiments but failed the entrance exams to a technical college. He didn‘t let this setback stop him. When he was16, he performed his famous experiment of imagining traveling alongside a beam of light. He eventually graduated from university, in 1900, with a degree in physics.Twelve years later he was a university professor and in 1921, he won the Nobel Prize for Physics. He went on to publish over 300 scientific papers. Einstein is the only scientist to become a cult figure, a household name and part of everyday culture. He once joked that when people stopped him in the street, he always replied, ―Pardon me, sorry!Always I am mistaken for Professor Einstein.‖ Today, he is seen as the typical mad, absentminded professor, who just happened to change our world.UNIT THREE（一）To imagine life in the future, you have to know what might be possible. You also need a lot o f imagination. There have been many exhibits, such as those at World‘s Fairs and theme parks, showing how future homes might look and work, sponsored by builders, developers or technology companies. Science fiction is another way to predict the future. It‘s a kind of writing that blends real science with fantasy. Over the years, science fiction writers, artists and engineers have had many ideas about what life would be like in the future. Here‘s a look at what some of the leading scientists are working on today to bring into your homes tomorrow.On the outside a home might look like any other. But inside, it can be high-tech all the way! Computer scientists have found new ways to use technology to make people‘s lives easier. For instance, sensors can show if someone is in your home and where they are at all times. You cancheck in from any computer — anywhere. The stuff of cutting-edge scientific research today is tomorrow‘s household technology, and high-tech consumer products could be available in your future home!（二）What if we could wear bodysuits to give us super strength? Own an identical robot twin to work for us? What if we could travel through time? Technology is pushing from every direction, getting faster with each passing second. Prepare yourself! The future is closer than you think.A robot conducting a symphony orchestra! Amazing as that is, it‘s just one way reality is outpacing science fiction. Every day robots become even more sophisticated, taking on additional human traits. Until now, robots have mostly gotten the toughest jobs. They work at the assembly line and defuse or even detonate explosive devices.The traditional tasks for a robot have always been the 3-D‘s: dull, dirty, dangerous. But as technology improves and as researchers are work towards developing these intelligent humanoids, we are going to see our homes and offices occupied by robots. It makes sense that if you are going to build a general-purpose robot that can perform any task that a human can do, you‘d like to give it a human shape. It can walk gracefully. His creators study motion-capture video of both humans and animals. I believe that humanoid technologies will improve our lives in the 21st century.UNIT FOUR(一) A leading US scientist has predicted that computers will be as intelligent as humans by 2029. Futurologist Dr Ray Kurzweil told the American Association for the Advancement of Science that in the near future, machine intelligence will overtake the power of the human brain. He said that within two decades computers will be able to think quicker than humans. Dr Kurzweil painted a picture of us having tiny robots called nanobots implanted in our brain to boost our intelligence and health. He told reporters that these microscopic nanobots would work with our brains to make us think faster and give us more powerful memories. Kurzweil explained that we are already ―a human machine civilization‖ and that the upcoming technology ―will be a further extension of th at.‖Dr Kurzweil was one of 18 top intellectuals asked by the US National Academy of Engineering to identify our greatest technological challenges. Other experts included Google founder Larry Page and the human genome pioneer Dr Craig Venter. Kurzweil has a very impressive background in science and innovation. He was an innovator in various fields of computing, including the technology behind CDs. He also pioneered automatic speech recognition by machines. He predicts the pace of new inventions will increas e greatly from now, saying: ― … the next half century will see 32 times more technical progress than the past half century.‖ This means scenes from science fiction movies, like Blade Runner, The Terminator and I, Robot, will become more and more a part of our everyday lives.（二）The scientists who launched the Human Genome Project believed in the power of genetic information to transform health care to allow earlier diagnosis of diseases than ever before and to fuel the creation of powerful new medicines.But it was also clear that genetic information could potentially be used in ways that are hurtful or unfair —for example denying health insurance because of an increased risk for developing a particular disease.Aware of the danger and hoping to ward it off, the founders of the Human Genome Project created a program to explore the ethical, legal, and social implications of new genetic knowledge. The goal was to anticipate problems that might arise and to prompt solutions.For example, in the future, doctors will l ikely be able to give each of us a ―genetic report card‖ that will spell out our risk of developing a variety of different diseases. But will we really want that information? How will it be used? Who will have access to our genetic information? How will it affect our lives, our families, and our communities?The challenge of addressing these issues is not reserved for scientists. We all have a stake in making sure that everyone will benefit from genetic research and no one is harmed.UNIT FIVE（一）―Art does not solve problems, but makes us aware of their existence,‖ sculptor Magdalena Abakanowicz has said. Arts education, on the other hand, does solve problems. Years of research show that it‘s closely linked to almost everything that we as a nati on say we want for our children and demand from our schools: academic achievement, social and emotional development, civic engagement, and equal opportunity. Involvement in the arts is associated with gains in math, reading, cognitive ability, critical thinking, and verbal skill. Arts learning can also improve motivation, concentration, confidence, and teamwork. A 2005 report by the Rand Corporation about the visual arts argues that the intrinsic pleasures and stimulation of the art experience do more than sweeten an individual‘s life —according to the report, they ―can connect people more deeply to the world and open them to new ways of seeing,‖ creating the foundation to forge social bonds and community cohesion. Comprehensive, innovative arts initiatives are taking root in a growing number of school districts. Many of these models are based on new findings in brain research and cognitive development, and they embrace a variety of approaches: using the arts as a learning tool, incorporating arts into other core classes and creating a school environment rich in arts and culture. ―When you think about the purposes of education, there are three,‖ an educator says. ―We‘re preparing kids for jobs. We‘re preparing them to be citizens. And we‘re teaching them to be human beings who can enjoy the deeper forms of beauty. The third is as important as the other two.‖（二）The arts are windows of the world in the same way that science helps us see the world around us. Literature, music, theater, the visual arts, the media, architecture, and dance reveal aspects about ourselves, the world around us, and the relationship between the two. In 1937, German planes flying for Franco in the Spanish civil war bombed a defenseless village as a laboratory experiment, killing many of the inhabitants. In Guernica, Pablo Picasso painted his outrage in the form of a vicious bull surveying a scene of human beings screaming, suffering, and dying. These powerful images mark in our minds the horror of a senseless act of war.Today, one major goal of education has become very practical: employability. Children should know how to read, write, and compute so that they can assume a place in the work force. Few would argue with that. But this objective should not allow us to overlook the importance of the arts and what they can do for the mind and spirit of every child and the function of schooling.Educational administrators need to be reminded that schools have a fundamental responsibility to provide the fuel that will ignite the mind, spark the aspirations, and illuminate the human spirit. The arts can often serve as that fuel. They are the ways we apply our imagination, thought, andfeeling through a range of ―languages‖ to illuminate life in all its mysteries, miseries, delights, pities, and wonders.UNIT SIX（一）A solution may be at hand for holidaymakers who are finding it harder to get off the beaten track. For those who really want to get away from it all, a new holiday destination has sprung up —Antarctica. However, this new hotspot, or freezing zone, might only be for those with the deepest pockets if a new policy gets under way. Tourism on Antarctica has been increasing dramatically in the past twenty years, from a few thousand people in 1985 to more than 40,000 in 2007. The growing numbers are having a negative effect on the pristine environment of the South Pole. To combat this, re searchers from Holland‘s Maastricht University have come up with a possible solution: limit the number of tourists allowed to visit and auction the vacations to the highest bidders.Many environmental protection agencies agree that there is a need to protect the frozen wilderness from the damage created by modern tourism. Antarctica is the last unspoiled place on Earth. It has a very delicate ecosystem that could be easily upset by hordes of tourists landing in airplanes and using skimobiles. A difficulty exists because Antarctica is not a country and therefore has no government to pass laws or guidelines to control the number of visitors. The Maastricht University team‘s proposal to auction off a fixed number of tourist places seems a workable solution. It would limit the number of visitors and therefore contain the amount of environmental damage, and the money would be used to protect Antarctica‘s future.（二）Traveling to World Heritage sites is rewarding! It is about exploring unique environments, engaging with cultural splendours, experiencing a different way of life and building lasting memories. The following are some great travel tips that can enhance your trip and benefit the World Heritage sites you visit. Here are the tips:Before traveling, first find out as much as possible. The more you know about a World Heritage site before arriving, the more the site will come alive. Second, pack light. It is tempting to pack everything you think you might need, but remember to be smart about your necessities. Packaging items like the paper box of your film or the plastic wrapping of your new toothbrush simply consumes space in your bag and can create excess trash for the World Heritage site. Finally, explore transportation options. Traveling affects the environment. Wherever possible, try to minimize your pollution and impact on the environment by looking to alternative transportation and off-setting your carbon emissions.UNIT SEVEN（一）Anyone who has experienced it knows all too well – video game addiction is real. Although gaming addiction is not yet officially recognized as a disorder by the American Medical Association, there is increasing evidence that people of all ages, especially teens and pre-teens, are facing very real, sometimes severe consequences associated with compulsive use of video and computer games.Video games are becoming increasingly complex, detailed and compelling to a growing international audience of players. With better graphics, more realistic characters and greater strategic challenges, it‘s not surprising that some teens would rather play the latest video gamethan hang out with friends, play sports or even watch television.Of course, all gamers are not addicts – many teens can play video games a few hours a week, successfully balancing school activities, grades, friends and family obligations. But for some gaming has become an uncontrollable compulsion. Studies estimate that 10 percent to 15 percent of gamers exhibit signs that meet the World Health Organization‘s criteria for addiction. Just like gambling and other compulsive behaviors, teens can become so enthralled in the fantasy world of gaming that they neglect their family, friends, work and school.（二）Internet Addiction Disorder has long been recognized as a social problem.According to psychological counselor Li Jianling, if you have the following symptoms, it islikely that Internet addiction has begun to infiltrate your life. Internet addicts lose track of time and spend less and less time on meals at home or at work. They are used to eating in front of a computer screen. Also, they deny spending too much time on the Net. They can‘t help going online when already busy at work, and they snea k online when family members aren‘t at home, with a sense of relief. It‘s a commonly known fact that Internet addiction can have a devastating effect on peoples‘ health and social lives. Adults may lose the most important years for their career development and students may waste too much of their youth in front of a computer screen.But why is Internet addiction so prominent in China? Li Jianling explains that many youths are the only children in their families. They don‘t have enough chances to associat e with parents and relatives. Also, the lack of activities for adults can lead to Internet addiction. When people grow up, if they don‘t spend time on sports or other positive interests, they often turn to the Internet to kill time.How do we deal with this problem? Li Jianling says associating more with family, friends and nature can really help Internet addicts kick the habit. Everyone understands that parents nowadays are busy, but if they just spend more time communicating with their kids, they can help avoid their children from becoming addicted to the Internet.UNIT EIGHT（一）The ability of a country to reduce poverty and increase its development depends on a number of things: its physical geography, the policy choices it makes, and the resources, institutions and capacities it has access to. On top of these, money is also needed to enable a country to invest in infrastructure or programs that support economic growth and development. Countries can finance their development in several different ways. First and foremost are the domestic financial resources that countries already have —the taxes they collect on economic activity or government borrowing from the savings that people and companies make. But for many developing countries, domestic resources are insufficient to meet the scale of investment necessary. So there is often a need to supplement them with financial resources from other countries. In 2005, many donor countries committed to increasing the amount of money they give in aid by $50 billion by 2010.Of equal importance, aid also needs to work better. For example, aid sometimes can be tied to the purchase of goods and services from the donor. This means that aid is not necessarily directed to the things that matter for poor people. This undermines the effectiveness of aid, as measured by its ability to reduce poverty. Making aid more effective is a responsibility shared by donor and recipient countries. The organization called United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) hasbeen focusing on supporting recipient governments, ensuring aid coordination, and supporting to monitor arrangements that include the private sector and civil society.（二）UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon says the global financial crisis may have shaken world confidence, but not the international community‘s resolve to help the United Nations continue working to fight poverty and disease. Mr. Ban said the international co mmunity‘s determination to help what he calls the world‘s ―bottom billion‖ — those who live on less than $1 a day — has not weakened. During the annual meeting of the UN General Assembly that wrapped up last week in New York, member states pledged $16 billion to help the UN meet targets of cutting poverty and disease worldwide by 2015.―Everyone has felt the earthquake on Wall Street,‖ said the U.N. chief. ―But it has not shaken our resolve. Banks may be failing, but the world‘s bottom billion can bank on us.‖ He said the generosity of these commitments is very encouraging, given the economic climate.In the first of a new monthly series of press conferences, Mr. Ban spoke about the many challenges facing the United Nations —among them, the deteriorating situation in Darfur, the precarious political and military situation in Afghanistan, piracy and instability in Somalia and the effects of climate change.The UN chief said that amid these crises the world must not forget the plight of others and he urged world leaders to honor the monetary pledges they have made. ―Grave as it may be, today‘s financial crisis will be overcome,‖ he said. ―We must underline the need for ‗crisis-proofing‘ of the important priorities of the United Nations from i nternational financial turbulence.‖。

He is addicted to playing video games.II:1A 2B 3B 4AIII:1:Answers may vary.2:Yes, I agree with this opinion. Because video games are designed to be addictive, and if you get sucked into them, you tend to spend all your time on them and ignore other aspects of life, then it’s a waste of time.No, I don’t agree. Because playing video games is a good form of entertainment that allows people to relax themselves and relieve stress. There are also games that help train the brain and improve memory and other cognitive abilities.Listening as Comprehension05Task1Exercise1：BCDFExercise2:1C 2D 3A06Task2Exercise1:1explosion 2leaders 3ever-increasing 4risingExercise2:1B 2D 3B 4CExercise3:1legit 2pro leagues 3viewership 4.18 5.1.6 Listening as Acquisition09Exercise2: 1into 2break it down 3get sucked into 4seen 5overtake10Exercise3: 1overtake 2got sucked into 3into 4break it down 5saw11Exercise4:1 a waste of time 2a simulated world 3an explosion in the eSports industry 4rising popularity 5bring in massive viewership14Critical ThinkingExerciseI:1pain 2lack 3sleep 4social 5aging 6overdoing ExerciseIII:1.Video games can have beneficial effects. For example, they can help improve a player’s hand-eye coordination, fine motor and spatial skills as the player keeps track of their running targets. In addition, video games can also be educational. Non-English-speaking players report learning English by playing games. Video games can also be used to train surgeons and pilots to improve their professional skills. What’s more, multiplayer games can help players improve their teamwork and cooperation. Many multiplayer games involve cooperation with other online players in order to win. These games encourage playersto make the most of their individual skills to contribute to the team. Video games can cause problems. First, many video games contain violence. Studies show that children who play more violent video games are more likely to have increased aggressive thoughts, feelings, and behaviours, and decreased prosocial helping. Second, playing games sitting in front of a screen can do harm to eyesight and physical health. Third, playing games may lead to money wasted when a player needs to purchase extra credits in order to buy a tool he or she needs in the game.2.Video games manufacturers should label each video game based on a rating system like the ESRB rating and provide an accurate and detailed description of the contents in each game for users, particularly to allow parents to choose age-appropriate games for their children.It is better to play video games as part of a group rather than as a solitary activity, to allow players to talk and work together. Many online games are based on social activity and working together. Research has consistently shown that the main reason for playing online games is for the social element.Follow the recommendations by the game manufacturers and/or the service providers (for example, sit at least two feet from the screen, play games in a well-lit room, never have the screen at maximumbrightness, and never engage in gaming when feeling tired).Enjoy downtime and relax with video games in moderation, and also get out there and keep your life diverse as well.Further Exploration15New Report:I:1D 2D 3BII:1officially / disorder 2addiction /clear and present 3overuse/adverse16Conversation:I:1A 2C 3B 4DII:1living 2objectively 3properly 4trend 5diversified17Passage:I:1B 2D 3DII:1.cognitive 2.30 3.strategic 4.fine cational 6.end up 7.accuratelyUnit4:Education:Crossing BordersLead-in:I:Errol is studying overseas because from the second picture we can see that the classroom setting is different from that of China and students in the second picture are mainly foreignersII:1fit in 2freshman 3projects 4open 5bravelyIII:1If I study overseas, the UK might be an ideal destination for me.

He was once my foreign teacher when I was in high school. Now he is working in the University of Alabama. I’d like to further my education there and what’s more, Alabama is Forrest Gump’s hometown. I love the movie.2.One of the biggest advantages of studying abroad for many international students is the chance to become immersed in a totally different environment. This enriching experience will enable students to see and do things they wouldn’t expect, and meet people from different cultures.While living abroad you’ll be able to try new food, enjoy traditional music, have a go at local activities and explore everything fascinating. That experience is life-changing and unforgettable.Listening as Comprehension05Task1Exercise1:ACEGIExercise2:1confidence 2move 3Navigate 4adapt 5historical 6life-changing 7appreciation06Task2Exercise1:1F 2T 3F 4FExercise2:1C 2B 3AExercise3:1short-term uncomfortable 2travel abroad 3varies 4minimize 5interculturalListening as Acquisition09Exercise2:1confront 2thrive 3immerse 4enhance 5positive10Exercise3:1positive 2immerse 3thrive 4enhance 5confronted11Exercise4: 1.in ways they may never have imagined before2be engrossed in something historical 3culture shock4watch and listen to what is going on around you5interact and communicateFurther Exploration14Critical ThinkingExercise1:1an education 2dark place 3interact withExercise2:1Children 2call for international attention3some war-stricken areas or backward areas 4every child in every corner of the world could get the opportunity to receive education5there are deeply-rooted historical problems in some countries which are hard to solve in a short time6official mediaExercise3:1.With education, I grow up, not just physically, but also mentally.

In ancient times they did not travel for pleasure but to find new places where their herds could feed, or to escape from hostile neighbors, or to find more favorable climates. They traveled on foot. Their journeys were long, tiring, and often dangerous. They protected themselves with simple weapons, such as wooden sticks or stone clubs, and by lighting fires at night and, above all, by keeping together. Being intelligent and creative, they soon discovered easier ways of travelling. They rode on the backs of their domesticated animals, they hollowed out tree trunks and, by using wooden paddles, were able to travel across water. Now we travel, not from necessity, but for the joy and excitement of seeing and experiencing new things. This is still the main reason why we travel today.16.What was the purpose of men′s travelling in ancient times? (B)17.According to the passage, which of these statements is not true?

Again the man said nothing, so Mr. Richards shouted his question again as loudly as he could.The man then took a pen and a piece of paper and wrote: “It isn’t necessary to shout when you’re speaking to me.

The first immigrants in American history came from England and the Netherlands. Immigrants from many other countries then began arriving and are still coming. The greatest numbers came in the years 1880 to 1914. Between 1820 and 1973, the United States admitted over 46 million immigrants.

What was the number of immigrants permitted to enter the US between 1820 and 1973? (C) Passage ⅡQuestions 16 to 20 are based on the following passage:Human beings, however, have something that no animal has. Human beings have the ability to express their actions, feelings and ideas through words. They can also write words down in order to communicate past events and to send messages to people far away. Even though some birds have learned to repeat words, they do not understand the meaning of the words, and therefore they cannot use them to communicate ideas. How did man first learn to speak? Perhaps we shall never know. However, we do know that as man’s knowledge increased he needed to use more sounds in order to express a greater number of feelings and ideas. It became necessary for him to communicate about a greater number of things. He began to make more and more different sounds, and gradually he put these sounds together to form, first, words, then groups of words, and then sentences. In different parts of the world, people developed their own systems of sounds and words. Today, we call these systems “languages”. There are now about five thousand different languages and dialects in the world, and each of them contains many thousands of words.16. Why can’t some birds use words to communicate ideas though they have learned to repeat。
