A（2022春·湖南·高二校联考期末）Young students can,and do,make a big difference.As an educator,you have the opportunity to spark(触发)a passion in students that will drive them to do their part to take care of the Earth.Here are activities you could add to your lesson plans to inspire your students on Earth Day:Make signs for school and at homeSometimes we just need a little reminder to help us change our habits.Have students think about what they can do at school and at home to help the environment and how they can encourage others to change their habits.Make a video or presentation urging others to take actionStudents can make a bigger impact if they influence others to do their part to protect the environment.Putting together a video or presentation also helps them internalize the material itself —they need to understand it before they can explain it to others.Presentations can be given in the classroom or even to the whole school.Eventually,they may be able to present their lessons and research at a local conference.Show them examples of other students making a real differenceIt's important for students to see examples of young environmentalists so they know they don't need to wait until they're older to make a difference.Learning about the work these young people are doing can give your students new ideas for how to protect the environment.It can open the door of possibilities for how to think about finding solutions to problems they can help solve.Earth Day isn't just on April22.It's every day.How will you celebrate Earth Day and help students make a difference year-round?1．Who is the text written for?A．Students.B．Teachers.C．Environmentalists.D．Parents. 2．What can we do to remind people to change their habits?A．Make signs.B．Make a video or presentation.C．Make lesson plans.D．Show other students'examples.3．Why is it important for students to learn about young environmentalists?A．It helps make friends.B．It improves learning results.C．It guarantees success.D．It inspires immediate action.【答案】1．B2．B3．D【导语】这是一篇应用文。

Extract from SpecificationEdexcel Level 4 Essential Skills Wales inInformation and Communication Technology (ICT)This document has been extracted from – and should be used inconjunction with – the Edexcel Entry Levels 1-4 Essential Skills Wales in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) Specification, the most up to date version of which can be found on the Edexcel website /eswEdexcel, a Pearson company, is the UK’s largest awarding body, offering academic and vocational qualifications and testing to more than 25,000 schools, colleges, employers and other places of learning in the UK and in over 100 countries worldwide. Qualifications include GCSE, AS and A Level, NVQ and our BTEC suite of vocational qualifications from entry level to BTEC Higher National Diplomas, recognised by employers and higher education institutions worldwide.We deliver 9.4 million exam scripts each year, with more than 90% of exam papers marked onscreen annually. As part of Pearson, Edexcel continues to invest in cutting-edge technology that has revolutionised the examinations and assessment system. This includes the ability to provide detailed performance data to teachers and students which helps to raise attainment.References to third party material made in this extract from the specification are made in good faith. Edexcel does not endorse, approve or accept responsibility for the content of materials, which may be subject to change, or any opinions expressed therein. (Material may include textbooks, journals, magazines and other publications and websites.)Publications Code ES026740All the material in this publication is copyright© Edexcel Limited 2011ES026740 Extract from Specification – Edexcel Level 4 Essential Skills Wales in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) – Issue 1 – February 2011 © Edexcel Limited 2011 1Level 4 Essential Skills Wales in ICTLevel: 4Credit value: 6Guided learning hours: 60About this qualificationThis is about demonstrating your skills in:•developing a strategy for using ICT skills (ICT4.1)•monitoring your progress and adapting your strategy as necessary (ICT4.2) •presenting the outcomes of your work (ICT4.3)•evaluating your overall strategy (ICT4.3).Amplification of evidence requirementsNotes1 Each level of the skill incorporates and builds on the previous levels. You musttherefore ensure that you are familiar with all the requirements of ICT Level 3 which, in turn, incorporates the requirements of the lower levels.2 You must provide evidence of your ICT skills, as they are specified in the firstcolumn of the component grid. Your evidence must be in the form described in the third column (Evidence requirements). In order to provide this evidence, you will need to have the skills that are listed in the second column.3 The guidance within the qualification supports the requirements of the threecolumns of the component areas and is intended to advise and help you and your teacher/tutor/trainer in your work. It provides explanations of some of therequirements of the standards that may be useful when you are developing the skill of ICT at Level 4 and producing evidence of your work. It is not a mandatory part of the standards.4 The Mandatory Definitions (Annexe A) give the exact meaning of certain words inthe document. You must always refer to them when you are developing your skills, gathering evidence, and preparing for assessment.5 Witness statements may be used to support written evidence (for example of adiscussion) but must not be the only form of evidence that you provide.ES026740 Extract from Specification – Edexcel Level 4 Essential Skills Wales in Information and CommunicationTechnology (ICT) – Issue 1 – February 2011 © Edexcel Limited 20112EvidenceAt Level 4, you will be assessed via a portfolio of evidence. The term ‘evidence’ is used in this document to refer to the work you produce for final assessment. Your evidence must show the processes you have used to identify and describe the task you have undertaken, to select, enter and develop information, and to develop the presentation of your work. The development process will normally involvedrafting, revising, correcting, redrafting or reformatting your work, so the evidence you submit for assessment must include at least one complete draft with notes,annotations, highlighting, alterations etc. Your final printouts, presentations etc are not, on their own, sufficient as evidence, though they must of course be included in your portfolio.Evidence of some parts of the process might include a signed statement, providing enough detail, from the person (for example manager, teacher, trainer) who has witnessed your work. Where such a witness statement is used, there should normally be supporting evidence in the form of your notes or plans, or evidence that your assessor has discussed the detail of the process with you.You must produce evidence of meeting the requirements of ICT4.1, ICT4.2 and ICT4.3 in the context of one activity.You may present your evidence in electronic format, in hard copy, or in a combination of these.There must be evidence that all your work has been assessed and authenticated, for example there must be records/notes, written by a competent assessor, confirming that your work is your own and that it has achieved the required standard. Where the standards refer to ‘information’, this can take the form of text and/or images and/or numbers. Skill requirementsIn order to achieve this qualification, the evidence that you present for assessment needs to demonstrate that you can meet all of the skills requirements of thequalification for each of the component areas. A piece of work submitted could give assessment evidence for more than one skill.E S 026740 E x t r a c t f r o m S p e c i f i c a t i o n – E d e x c e l L e v e l 4 E s s e n t i a l S k i l l s W

It provides explanations of some of the requirements of the standards that may be useful when you are developing the skill of ICT at Level 4 and producing evidence of your work. It is not a mandatory part of the standards.ICT4.1.1Establish opportunities to use ICT skillsYou must spend some time researching and exploring work activities in order to identify where and how you can use ICT to aid efficient searching, development, exchange and presentation of information, including text, images and numbers. Identify the outcomesAn intended outcome is a statement of what you want or need to achieve (for example a computer-based conferencing system to support team working). You may need to negotiate these outcomes with other people who are involved in the work. You must identify and write down outcomes that are specific, so you will be able to tell if they have been achieved. This will help later when you are monitoring and evaluating your work.Plan your use of ICT skillsYou must take stock of the skills you will need to achieve your intended outcomes, and plan your use of ICT skills so you can make the most of your work activities. You must be able to identify opportunities and constraints (for example your own expertise, resources, work patterns, health and safety issues, and social and ethical concerns). You must set realistic targets and deadlines over the coming months. Make a reasoned choice of methodsYou must be familiar with the strengths and weaknesses of ICT methods for handling, processing and presenting different types of information (for example specific software facilities).Identify relevant sources of informationYou must check a range of different sources, including people who may be able to support you in developing your skills and completing the work. You must know how to access help and gain access to the internet, databases on CD ROM or online, a library, or specialist publications. In using a web browser, you must know how to bookmark relevant web pages, and how to download and save information. You must know how to use appropriate referencing and filing systems, and keep records of the sources you use.ES026740 Extract from Specification – Edexcel Level 4 Essential Skills Wales in Information and CommunicationTechnology (ICT) – Issue 1 – February 2011 © Edexcel Limited 20118ICT4.2.1Prepare and use ICTYou must be able to set up and use:• style-sheets, templates, and macros to handle repeated operations • database structures• queries using search engines, and be able to refine your search. You must be able to:• establish criteria (for example by date, author, subject, organisation, type andformat) to help select the information you require • set up different search strategies and criteria to explore alternative lines ofenquiry, (for example use a financial model on a spreadsheet to explore and predict possible consequences of cost and pricing changes on sales and profits). Evaluation and selection of informationYou must develop a ‘critical eye’ for assessing the quality and reliability of information from different sources, taking into account commercial, political, academic or personal interests that may influence content and presentation. You must check facts, research other sources, and ask additional questions. Develop and exchange relevant informationYou must be able to identify methods of exchanging information (for example email, computer conferencing, video conferencing, web pages, sharing documents) and understand how they affect the development of information and ways of working. You must be able to take into account organisational factors such as version control, document retrieval, transaction monitoring, security, archiving and backup. Derive new informationYou must identify and, where appropriate, make use of information that is generated as your work progresses (for example different ideas, interpretations, improvisations, plans).Monitor and critically reflectYou must know how to track, record, reflect on and evaluate your progress, including any ICT problems and what you did about them. You must identify reliable sources of feedback and use feedback constructively to help you monitor your performance and make decisions, (for example on whether to adapt your overall strategy).ES026740 Extract from Specification – Edexcel Level 4 Essential Skills Wales in Information and Communication Technology (ICT) – Issue 1 – February 2011 © Edexcel Limited 2011 9ICT4.3.1Present information effectivelyYou must know how to develop appropriate structures for integrating different types of information, (for example to ensure that fonts, layout, number formats, sizes and shapes of graphs, images and tables are consistent). You must ensure that conventions of format, language and style are used as agreed, and obtain feedback from others. You must check spelling, punctuation and grammar, and check that graphs, diagrams and charts are correctly labelled and any specific requirements (for example word length, types of binding, paper size) have been met.ICT4.3.2Evaluate the effectiveness of your strategyYou must be able to identify how your decisions, and the resources and people involved in your work, have influenced how you have tackled the activity and its outcomes. You must also take into account the effect of your own strengths and weaknesses in ICT.Identify ways to further develop your ICT skillsYou must reflect on your overall level of ICT skills and suggest areas where you need to improve, based on the experience you have gained in this activity. You must be able to identify opportunities that are available to you (for example for training, for changing working practices, or for tackling new kinds of tasks). You must discuss with a line manager, colleague or mentor how you might improve working methods, take advantage of new opportunities, and further develop your skills.Seb020211 Z:\LT\PD\ESW\Extracts\ ESW ICT L1-4 Individuals\Essential Skills Wales ICT L4 Spec.doc.1–12/1February 2011For more information on Edexcel and BTEC qualificationsplease visit our website: Edexcel Limited.

How to make a great Oral Presentation

H O W T O P R E P A R E A NCCORDING TO SPEAKING CONSULTANT Lilyan Wilder (1999), two of the greatest mythsabout delivering oral presentations are that you’re better off “winging it” and that good speakers are “naturals.”In order to give an effective presentation, it is necessary to prepare and practice, practice,practice. Despite the need to prepare, one of your goals still should be to sound spontaneous and comfortable while delivering your message in a clear, organized, and stimulating fashion. The information below should help you achieve this goal:FIRST STEPSHERE ARE A FEW steps you need to take before writing your presentation, including thinkingabout who your audience is, what the expectations for the speech are, and selecting an appropriate topic.Researching the topicIf you are presenting something that you’ve already written, then this step won’t require much work. Otherwise, you’ll need to follow the same procedures as with writing and narrowing down your topic for a research paper.Organizing and writing the speechThis requires a different approach than writing a research paper.Practicing the speech and handling logisticsThere are a number of details to prepare for in advance of delivering your presentation.Phrasing the speechA presentation requires different language and phrasing than a written document. A presentation is a dialogue. It should sound natural and be somewhat conversational.A TManaging your stage frightIf you are shy, or unaccustomed to talking to a group of people, there are things you can do to make yourself less anxious.Visual aidsThe big eventIt’s important to present yourself and your material in a polished, yet comfortable, fashion. If you’ve followed the ideas listed above, it should be a successful experience.Web sites of InterestWe have identified a number of Web sites offering information about preparing oral presentations and related issues.ReferencesPRELIMINARY STEPS FOR PREPARING AN ORAL PRESENTATIONAnalyzing the situationBEFORE YOU DECIDE on a topic for your speech, it’s important to think about how to make your presentation interesting to your teacher and classmates. This may sound obvious, but have you looked at the material that you’ve covered so far in class? How could you relate what you want to say to what’s already been taught? Relating your material to information your audience is already familiar with will not only demonstrate to the teacher that you’ve been paying attention, it will also help your classmates understand and remember your points.Example: If you’ve examined a particular novelist in your literature class, you may want to refer to that novelist again in your talk on literary styles.Know how much time you have, how loudly you will need to speak for your classmates to hear you, and how many people will be in the audience. These facts will help determine the depth of your talk, the visual aids you can use, and the environment for your presentation.Choosing a topic and a focusChoose a topic that not only excites you, but one about which you either are an expert or can become one. You may not have a choice about your topic, but regardless of the subject, you still make decisions about what direction you’re going to take. Try to relate your topic to current issues, whether they are happening at your school, in your city, or in the world. Timeliness can make a presentation more interesting to your audience.In order to focus on a topic, follow these steps:Determine your general goal,e.g., to talk about recycling in the city.Develop a precise objective, e.g., to instruct people about the recycling facilities andprograms in the city of Chicago.Develop a precise objective,e.g., to instruct people about the recycling facilities andprograms in the city of Chicago.Develop a one-sentence summary,e.g., There are many recycling facilities in the city of Chicago that are not fully used.Develop a title,e.g., The Underuse of Chicago’s Recycling Facilities.Although there may be some overlap, try to decide what your main goal will be. This will help give your paper direction and consistency. Some important main goals include: InterestInformPersuadeMotivateResearching the TopicCollect more information than you think you need. As you prepare your presentation, you will whittle away at your notes and tighten your focus. Organize your information the same way that you would for a research paper.Recommendation:Read through your finished notes and label each section with a number or word that tells you where each thought fits into your outline (discussed in the next section of this Guide). Then, when you start to flesh out your presentation, you can quickly skim and organize your notes. ORGANIZING AND WRITING THE SPEECHDEVELOPING AN ORAL presentation is different than writing a report that will be read silently.The audience can’t turn back to the first part of your speech and examine what you said. That’s why speakers often repeat themselves throughout their presentations. The informal formula for public speaking is “First, tell the audience what you are going to tell them; then tell them; then tell them what you just told them.”You should follow this same mantra when structuring the notes that will serve as the basis for your oral presentation. Not only should you repeat some things, but you should also be extremely organized, so your listeners can easily follow what you say.The first step to take before writing your speech is to create an outline. Write down three to four main points, fill them in with subheadings, and then add third-level subheadings. Make each point a complete sentence. This skeletal structure will be the outline for your other notes, andeventually, the speech itself. Most word processing software includes an outlining feature, which may help.Suggested organization:IntroductionIn addition to your main points, you need an introduction and a conclusion. The introduction should capture the audience’s attention and warm you up. Some experts recommend humor, but exercise caution; if your joke falls flat, you immediately lose your audience. It’s better to start on a genuine note. Some suggestions (Dodd, 1997) for introductions include:Refer to a local event or a recent event in the newsTell a personal story, preferably one that is humorousRead a quoteAsk a questionRefer to something that’s just happened in classNo matter which of these devices you use, they should be tied somehow to your topic. Make a statement that somehow connects the introduction to the body of the talk.Main pointsInclude at least three or four main points.ConclusionEither end with a concluding statement or invite questions, or both. When you end your speech, only use the words “in conclusion,” “finally,” or “one more thing” if you are really finished. Also, don’t end your speech suddenly without recapping what you’ve said (remember to remind your audience of what you’ve just told them).PRACTICING THE SPEECH AND HANDLING LOGISTICSYOU SHOULD PRACTICE your speech at least once before you present it. Practice in anenvironment that is as similar as possible to where you’ll be giving the presentation. Practice in front of people and use your visual aids. Your talk should be a combination of entertainment, information, and intellectual stimulation, all delivered with a spontaneous and comfortable feel. The following guidelines will help you achieve this:Do not memorize a paper and deliver it verbatim. You may want to memorize certain small sections, and you will want to know the order of your presentation by heart, but the goal is to sound natural. Reading lines does not sound spontaneous unless you’re a really good actor.Write in large, boldface letters, regardless of whether you use note cards or regular paper for your notes. In order to engage your audience, you should look up from your paper or notes several times during the presentation, and you don’t want to lose your place when you look back down at the text. Using note cards makes it easier to find your place, but some people don’t like flipping through cards.Try recording yourself and listening to the tone, pitch, and speed of your voice. Work on sounding natural and relaxed.Pause naturally as you would in conversation.Practicing your speech out loud can help you clarify your thoughts. As you practice, don’t be afraid to add ideas or change what you’ve planned.You may want to add directions on your notes like “slow down,” “look at the audience,”and “remember to pause.” These will remind you to do the things that are sometimes hard to remember during the excitement of speaking in front of a group.LogisticsIf you’re going to use any kind of equipment, make sure that everything is in working order before you arrive for your presentation. Try to anticipate what problems might arise, and how to solve them. For example, “what will you I do if the computer crashes?” Or, “what will I do if the person who speaks before me takes up too much time, and I have to shorten my speech?” Be prepared for all the possible things that can go wrong.If you’re not giving your presentation in a familiar location (like your classroom), check out the space before the day of your presentation so you know how big the room is and what kind of technical options are available (and functioning). Will you need a microphone? Is there an Internet hook-up? Do the electrical outlets and lights work? How are they controlled? If you will need a projection screen, is there one already in the room? If so, how does it work? These are all important details.PHRASING THE SPEECHYOU SHOULD USE different language for an oral presentation than you would for a research paper. A speech should not sound as formal as a report. Remember that you’re talking, and that people will respond better when the language is familiar. Here are a few ways in which oral communication differs from written (Dodd, 1997):More audience-specificMore interactiveMore immediateMore personalMore informalMore opportunities to use visual communicationNot only is the style of a presentation different from that of a paper, but the language is as well. Here are a few considerations for phrasing your oral presentation:Use conjunctions—they sound more natural.Use vocabulary that will be understood. Your audience won’t have time to look up unfamiliar words.Use enumeration to tie your points together. (i.e., First I would like to discuss this issue. Second …)Use parallel construction in your phrasing to help the audience follow what you’re saying.Use personal pronouns and refer to yourself and the audience.Interject ideas and comments—make it personal!Ask occasional questions.With all of this advice about what you should say, it’s easy to forget one of the most important tips of all—do not be afraid of silence! Pause occasionally.MANAGING STAGE FRIGHTRECENT STUDY suggests that people unfamiliar with communication theory think that stagefright is caused mostly by what happens during the speech (Bippus & Daly, 1999). Inactuality, what happens before the speech affects your state of mind as much—if not more—than the speech itself. In other words, practicing and preparing are two of the best ways to eliminate stage fright.Overcoming Stage FrightPractice in a place or situation as similar as possible to where you will be giving your talk. This includes practicing in front of people, preferably classmates.Watch or listen to other speeches, either in person or through (audio or video)recordings. Take note of what works and what doesn’t.Use mental imagery to picture yourself in front of an audience. Try to becomecomfortable with the idea.Before you practice, and again before you deliver your presentation, perform voice and breathing exercises to warm up your vocal cords.If your hands shake, hold on to something like a small object, a pointer, or a lectern.Have water with you if possible, both during practice and while presenting.Take pauses and breathe normally.Try to establish a dialogue with the audience. This will make the whole experience feel more natural.VISUAL AIDS HEN YOU CREATE and display visual aids during an oral presentation, there are a fewgeneral principles that you should follow.Keep it simpleA WUse color, but not too muchColor accelerates learning and recall by 55% or more and comprehension by 70% (Dodd, 1997). But too much color can be distracting.Break complex ideas into simpler visual partsIf you plan to show a complex idea visually, break the image into smaller, less complicated parts. An overlay is a possible option.Show = DiscussDo not show anything that you don’t plan to discuss. Explain what’s in each graphic.Do not talk at your visual aidDirect your presentation toward the audience and refer to your images with a pointer or pen.Steady handsIf you’re hands are shaky, a pointer, pen, or pencil will help steady you.You can use the following options, but beware of the problems associated with each: Overheads are simple and clear, and you don’t have to depend on a computer. They can, however, get out of order, have poor print quality, and cause other problems if the transition between each one is not smooth. If you are able, have someone else be responsible for turning your overheads during your presentation, so you can concentrate on speaking and directing the overall presentation.PowerPoint or similar slide-show software programs can produce professional-looking presentations. You can store your presentation on a disk and carry it with you, and it’s also easy to make changes to your presentation. However, using such software does force dependence on computer technology, and if the computer crashes, or if there are other technology problems, you won’t have your slide-show. Therefore, when you use such software, always have available alternative visuals such as overheads or paper handouts.Slides give you clear images of photographs and also allow for easy change in the order of your presentation. However, they can be expensive, and you can’t change the images once they’re created.Whiteboards and paper are convenient if you feel comfortable writing your points in front of the audience. They also let you be spontaneous and incorporate feedback from the audience. However, they don’t look as professional as other media, and they force you to spend a lot of time writing when you should be talking (often with your back to the audience).Handouts are an excellent accompaniment to any of the options listed above, but they can also pose their own problems. If you distribute them at the beginning of your presentation, you risk losing your audience’s attention; their attention may turn to the handout rather than following what you are saying.Nevertheless, having the audience follow along with the handout can be a successful strategy. You can also pass out a summary of your speech that the audience can take away with them. A final option is to pass out handouts to support the information you bring up as you talk. However, this can also deflect attention away from you, and cause the audience to miss pertinent points. Be sparing with handouts, but understand that they can be instrumental in helping the audience remember your speech.THE BIG EVENTIN ADDITION TO some common sense tips—like getting a good night’s sleep the night before and eating breakfast—here are some other helpful ideas.Warm up with breathing and vocal exercises.Take a deep breath before walking to the front of the room.Walk slowly to the front, pause, and look at the audience before speaking.Learn to be comfortable with the sound of your voice.Remember to pause.Focus on the audience, not your notes or visual aids.Try to change the tone of your speech periodically to keep the audience’s attention.When it’s all over, ask for feedback, and remember that this is a learning experience. You’ll continue to become a better public speaker the more times you go through this process.WEB SITES OF INTERESTEffective Presentations Online Tutorial, University of Kansas/SAH/OTEd/jradel/effective.htmlDos and Don’ts of Oral Presentation, Voice For Success/doc3_pub.htmlMaking an Oral Presentation, University of Toronto/~writing/oral.htmREFERENCESBippus.

1998阅读paraphrase

On SocietyParaphrase of Section AAcademic report explain that the violence,such as hate crimes and street crimes are result from looking down of themselves. Though it is popular saying, there is no evidence to support it. Recently, the periodical of Psychological Review state that three specialists have study this literature in detail, and conclude that much stronger connection between violence and self-esteem will be. Roy Baumeister of Case Western Reserve University and Laura Smart and Joseph Boden of the U niversity of Virginia. write that a fter seeing that much more violent people are high self-esteem not low self-esteem, we cannot believe low self-esteem is the cause of violence.It is usually thought that one without self-esteem will hurt others to gain self-esteem. Researcher find that people can be violent with unrealistic self-esteem challenged by other people. Therefore, bullies, rapists, psychopaths and members of street gangs and organized crime come to being. The study concludes that Certain forms of high self-esteem seem to make people to be violent. If we accept our cultural self-esteem without criticism, and then, the self-esteem will be dangerous for us and will impede us to realize our goal. The self-esteem required by the society will make a lot of harm to people in the end.When come to prison program making victims not feel bad about themselves, such as self-accusation and shame, specialist write that it will be better to teaching victims modesty and humility.In an interview with the Boston Globe, Baumeister said he believes people’s willness of promoting themselves is weakening. Maybe it will be disappeared one day. We would better make people control themselves more than promote their self-esteem.In the school, what has said above means that we should be away from psychic boosterism and think self-esteem as the product of achievement, not regard it as the end of itself. The self-esteem movement has make school education moreumfangreich. Self-esteem can be seen in spurious equality in school in which teachers think other schools’s students should do the same as themselves, and cannot be more outstanding than their students. I hope this self-esteem is disintegrating and should be an end one day.Text BIn the society of one nationality, there is more chance for big change to occur than in a society of more than one nation. Because people in theBheterogeneous societies hod more different ideas than those in homogeneous ones. More over, in the society with same nationality, people tend to be more tolerant and to have more same interests. Therefore, if we want to make society changes, we should allow people have different ideas rather than confine people’s thought to certain areas. In the a quite homogeneous society, no matter culture, ragion or pursuit are almost the same. So, peole have no need or opportunity to change. Though, people may have some little difference with others, they have been used to it. In the material society, change has more chance to occur than in the non-marterialsociety.For example, in technology rather than in values;in what has been learned later in life rather than what was learned early: in the less basic, less emotional, or less sacred asp ects of society than in their opposites. like religion or a system of prestige: in the simp le elements rather than in the complex ones; in form rather than in substance: and in elements congenial to the culture rather than in strange elements.Furthermore, if the change comes in gradually, tnen the change can be easier. For example, social changes in a society with sharp relationship are less likely to occur in a stable society. This is the reason why changes have not come more quikly to Black American as comeparied to other American minorities. Beacuse there is sharp difference between them and the white people, it is hard for them to form the same oppinion and make a change at the same time.Text COne argument used to support the idea that employment will continue to be the d ominant form of work, and that employment will eventually become available for allwho want it. And the argument state that the working time will going to be much shorter. Wokers will need to worke fewer hours a day. Then, they will worker fewer hours in a day, a week, a year,and in the lifetime than they do now, which means more people will have chance to have jobs. It is said that this is the way that we begin to restore full employment.There is no doubt that something of this kind will happen. The shorter working week, longer holidays, earlier retirement, job-sharing -- these and other ways of reducing the amount of time people spend on their jobs are certainly likely to spread. Part-time job should be a more common form of work than today. And a flexi-life pattern of work that involves paid empolyment at certain stages of life,but not at others will became widespread. But it cannot be certain that flexi-life parttern will help to restore the restore full employment as the dominant form of work.First of all, as the employement is the main form of job for people to make money, it could be hard to make reducting working time come true in a large place and in a fast pace while every can have a job he wants. For example, recently in British and Germany, a negotiation that suggest to reduce working time to 35 hours face great difficulty. But secondly, if share job can happen at a pace and on a scale, and which is possible for all the poeple who want it. the resulting situation in which most people would not be working in their jobs fo r more than two or three short days a week. And it is hardly for situation to be one in which employment was still regarded as the only truly valid for m of work. Then people would spend much time on other activities which are still forms of useful work. Therefore, the employment would be less important than it is today to some extent.Text DOn the early time of industry revolution, the most simple and direct way to communicate and announce. And it is usually a way to advertise new products and theirs derivatives. But when factory production is on the peak of development, and the production, such as processed food, are going to be sold, national advertising campaigns and brand-naming of products became necessary. Before the products are produced in a great amount, the goods’distribution and selling are almost done by people who buys large quantities of goods and resells to merchants rather than to the ultimate customers. The factories that are just good at produce certain good did not spend much money on machine investment,but adapt their production to the change of the demands on the market. But the economic depression from 1873 to 1894 make the old ways of organize industry and distribution become different. From the beginning of the nineteenth century until the 1870s, the production has improved steadly, and the retail shop come out in a great of number. However, there are two other crisis. One is that producing too much for buyers to buy; the other is people have enough money to buy goods. Therefore, lots of goods remain unsold andthe price and profits will fall. At the end of century, many small industries realized that they can divided their business into more small business rather in one sector, so they can weather the economic depression and slumps better. These producers also realize that they should produce the products that are to be bought on the market or are needed by people. This period ushered in the first phase of what economists now call "monopoly capitali sm". To make it simple, it refers to monopoly which means the product market is controlled by a small number of enterprise. And those enterprises are usually big and cooperated.However， previously competitive trading had been conducted by small ri val firms, so after the economical depression, the big companies and integrated corporation well rely more on advertisement to make their products known to buyers.We can view soap trade as an example of change in manufacture and distribution at the time of century changing. From about the 1850s, a mass of soap with no brands on the market. And those soap were produced and sold by hundreds of small manufactures. At the same time, they were distributed by wholesalers and door-to-door sellers who sold products by visiting buyers. Competition grew steadily throughout the latter half of the century, and those companies playing a leading role in the same field should take more aggressive methods in order to make rival companies lost customers and make rival companies buyers their own buyers. For example, the future Lord Leverhulme selling its soap in special packages, which will make their soap recognized by customers more easily and make their buyers buy their products more than once.Lord Leverhulme was one of the first industrialists to realize that advertisements should be words in logical and thought. And also advertisements should also be eye-catching and humorous. Many advertisers followed his lead and make their ad include the reasons why their products are good. For example, one contemporary Pears soap ad went into great detail about how the pr oduct could enhance martial bliss by cutting down the time the wife had to spend with her arms in a bowl of frothy suds. And an ad for Cadbury's cocoa not only state that its cocoa is pure, but also tell customers cocoa’s other benefits in the advertisements. for the infant it is a delight and a support; for the young girl, a source of healthy vigou r; for the young miss in her teens a valuable aid to development... ' and so on. Writer E.S say straightforwardly that present’s ad. is not only state and repeat their ad., they are trying to persuade people to buy their goods. Today, it seems that only the big and expensive companies will advertise, but the small companies do not. Maybe, those small companies have no ability to advertise.TEXT EPlease say again: how are your manners?Gentility Recalled has written that the definition about how to behave ourselves is troubling people more than crime today. And he also laments the breakdown of traditional codes that once regulated social conduct. This publication criticizes people’s behaviors that regard manner as something out of fashion and repressive.according to Mr. Anderson who is a director of the Social Affairs Unit and an independent think-tank, because of the lost of manner, there are a lot of impolite behaviors today, such as loutish behavior on the streets, jostling in crowds, impolite shop assistants and bad-te mpered drivers.Mr. Anderson says these rude behaviors seem to be important, but day after day, they have big impact on people’s daily-life, make our lives uneasy,unpredictable and unpleasant. As they are offensive and encountered far more often than crime, they can cause more anxiety than crime.When people show their sorrow and grief about disruption of law and order, Mr. Anderson argued what really matters is order which has been proved by courteous forms of social contact. At the same time, if we want to make people regulate behavior by rules, it will have a sense of nonliteralnes but not natural.12 academics in different area have make contribution to this book. They are from society, medicine, and so on. And this book has charted "coarsening" of Britain. This book says that some old words, such as gentleman and lady have lost their meanings. So we have to give them new means. Rachel Trickett, honorary fellow and former principal of St Hugh's College. Oxford, s ays that the general inclusive concept is said to protect women rather than belittle them.Asking equal rights for themselves makes the distinction between women and men blurry, and creates a situation where men can take the main place in their relationship, because man is more powerful than woman by nature. A woman says that without the protection of the code, women will be increasing be victims.The first fellow of Peterhouse. Cambridge points out that only has the meaning of satire and mockery.The most accepted meaning of gentleman is that some one incapable andcriminal,between people who are born nobble but talent-less and those who are lacking in feeling or pity or warmth and only stock-in-trade of television.She argues this definition of gentlemen is not bound to certain class or just suit for certain people. The traditional behavior of a gentleman makes a man to behave himself as what is expected by the society in a public place as an individual."Politeness is no constraint, precisely because the manners... are no 'code' but a l anguage, rich flexible, restrained and infinitely subtle. "Anthony O'Hear. professor of philosophy at the University of Bradford says manners are the rightly behavior according to people’s ages and social status. Those gentlemen will control their impulsion and complain in young and old age individually.the doctrine of the equality of mankind and the desirability of political and economic and social equality has led to people failing to act their age. "We have vice-chancellors with ear rings, aristocrats as hippies. . . , the trendy vicar on his motorbike." Dr Athena Leoussi , sociology lecturer at Reading University, regret strongly the people ‘s deliberate sartorial appearance.What people wear represent their life attitudes and aspirations. Almost all the people follow the trend to wear jeans reflect a aim which is said to be the greatest happiness for the greatest number. And this attitude has led to the improvement of our every daily life.Dr Leoussi says that while clothes used to be seen as a means of concealing tabo o forces of sexuality and violence, certain fashions -*- such as leather jackets, on the contrary, means gentleness.Dr Bruce Charlton, a lecturer in public health medicine in Newcastle upon Tyne argue about that the improper relationship between doctors and bank managers and their clients. He says this informality of relations has destroy the necessary respect and distance between them. For Tristam Engelhardt, professor of medicine in Houston. Texas says manners had a closed relationship with manners.Tristam Engelhardt says manners represent certain manners and assign ameaning to and transform social reality. These manners will lead the social trend.。

But his two major hobbies are rarely known to people, fishing and wine-drinking. In his later years, Qiao Yu has become keen of fishing. He asserts: “A place with water and fish must necessarily be blessed with a nice setting, which in return keeps people in good mood. I believe that the optimum fishing places are not thosecommercial fishing centers which provide the fishermen with all the conveniences and where fish are kept hungry for ready capture, but those naturally-formed places in the wilderness which exert a special appeal.” According to him, fishing can constitute an activity conducive to the cultivation of one’s temperament and to one’s health, at once physical and psychological. Qiao Yu claims: “Fishing can be divided into three stages. The first stage consists of mere fish-eating; the second a combination of fish-eating and the pleasure of fishing; the third primarily the pleasure of fishing when, confronted with a pond of clear water, one puts aside all his troubling vexations and annoyances and enjoys the total relaxation both mentally and physically.”2002年8级测试汉译英The bounty of nature is equal to everyone, rich or poor, and therefore all men are strongly attached to her.

Read these statements carefully and decide whether they are true or false.Mark “A” for “True”, “B” for “False” on the Answer Sheet for the objective items (30 points; 1 point each).21.One question that all approaches of language teaching should answer is “Whatis language?”The answer to this question is the basis for syllabus design, teaching methods, teaching procedures in the classroom, and even the techniques used in the class.22.Acquisition is a subconscious process where language is acquired as a result ofnatural and largely random exposure to language.23.The behaviorist theory of language learning was initiated by behavioralpsychologist Skinner. Based on the theory of conditioning, Skinner suggested language is also a form of behavior. It can be learned the same way as an animal is trained to respond to stimuli.24.Teachers have to be aware of the students’ learning styles as well as their ownlearning/teaching styles. In teaching, teachers should try to use different techniques and ways of teaching to meet students’ different learning styles.25.In the following activity the teacher acts as a prompter:While doing a writing task either individually or in groups, the students need touse a particular word they don’t know. So they ask the teacher.municative competence entails knowing not only the language code or theform of language, but also what to say to whom and how to say it appropriately in any given situation.27.The role of the teacher changes following the aims of the class. The teachermay function more as a controller if he is mainly doing presentation of new language points, whereas he is more of a resource or prompter or participant once a communicative activity starts.28.Speech flow, such as stress, intonation, pauses, etc. can help to convey themeaning that is intended by the speaker. They should be taught from the very beginning.29.There are two methods in teaching grammar: the deductive method and theinductive method. The former starts with real examples, and through a study of the examples comes to the grammar rule that is suggested in the examples.The latter starts with the presentation of the grammar rules first and then processes to the study of illustrative examples.30.Receptive words refer to those which are not only understood in listening andreading, but also produced readily in speech and writing, esp. those used in everyday speech.31.The purpose of pre-listening activities is to activate the students’schema, inother words, to add context, so that the actual listening itself becomes easier. 32.At the early stage of the PPP model more focus should be laid on accuracywhereas at the later stage, fluency becomes the focus of teaching.33.Efficient reading depends first of all on having a purpose for reading, i.e.,knowing why you are reading a text. The purpose will usually determine what specific information you are going to look for and the appropriate type of reading skills to be used.34.The bottom-up model of teaching reading reflects the belief that one’sbackground knowledge plays a more important role than new words and new structures in reading comprehension. 35.The purpose of pre-reading is to facilitate while-reading activities. This stageof reading is often called Lead-in, where the students and teacher prepare themselves for the tasks and familiarize themselves with the topic of the reading exercises.36.The way to transfer information from one form to another is called a transitiondevice. Pictures, drawings maps, tables, diagrams and charts, etc. are some transition devices that are often used in teaching reading.37.In order to motivate students, we should advocate authentic writing tasks thathave some communicative elements. It is necessary to engage them in some act of communication. This means either writing for a specific recipient or engaging in an act of creative writing where their work is intended to be read by an intended audience.38.Good teachers plan their classes minutely so that everything they do isprearranged, and once they are in the classroom, they follow their plan without deviation.39.The National English Curriculum is designed to promote the students’ overalllanguage ability, which is composed of five components, namely, language skills, language knowledge, affects, learning strategies and cultural understanding.40.The teaching of pronunciation should focus on the students’ ability to identifyand produce English sounds themselves. Students should not be led to focus on reading and writing phonetic transcripts of words, especially young students, because phonetic transcripts are more abstract and less meaningful.41.The more communicative an activity is, the less the control that is needed.42.It is believed that the inductive method for teaching grammar is more effectivein that students discover the grammar rules themselves while engaged inlanguage use.43.One way to make speaking tasks communicative is to use information gapactivities, in which the students have different information and they need to obtain information from each other in order to finish a task.44.The process approach to writing does not only pay attention to what students dowhile they are writing, it also attaches great importance to what the students do before they start writing and after they finish writing.45.Discourse features include aspects such as: the way the text is organized, itslayout, the style of the language and the register.46.Integration of the four skills is concerned with realistic communication. Thismeans that we are teaching at the discourse level, not just at the level of the sentences or individual words and phrases.47.During a communicative activity, whenever a teacher finds a mistake, no matterin what sense, grammatical or cultural or any other aspect, he should stop the student and correct it.48.In Hymes’s words, there are “rules of use without which the rules of grammarwould be useless”, which simply means, besides grammatical rules, language use is governed by rules of use.49.One of the major principles behind good lesson planning is flexibility, whichmeans planning to use a number of different methods and techniques rather than being a slave to one methodology.50.An important feature of today’s language classroom is that students do notalways study as one big group. Rather, for much of the class time, students are broken down to groups of different sizes. The most common student groupings are whole class work, pair work, group work, and individual work. III. Short Answer QuestionsDirections: In this part, there are two questions about English teaching. Choose ONE of them and write down your answers in brief. You will be assessed in the points you present and the way you present them (15 points).1. When a communicative activities starts, the teacher is left nothing to do, sincenon-teacher-intervention is important in a genuine communicative activity. He sits in front of the class and does some private reading until the time is up. Do you think it is the correct thing for the teacher to do in class? Give your reasons.2. What are the reasons for using group work in the language teaching classroom,especially in speaking tasks?IV. Lesson PlanningDirection:Suppose you are to teach a class of 40 senior middle school students. Design an outline lesson plan of the first 45-minute period for the reading text given. Make sure you include clear objectives, organization type, reasonable procedure (stages and steps), assumed time, detailed instructions, teaching aids, etc. (25 points).安庆师范学院2007—2008学年度第二学期期末考试《英语教学理论及方法》（A卷）主观题答题纸院系班级姓名学号□□□□□□□注意事项1. 本试卷共四大题, 第I 、II大题做在客观题答题卡上，第III 、IV大题做在此答题纸上；客观题答题卡上准考证号码为00+学号，如，001205001。

As the economy sank into despair and unemployment rates increased, the political climate for direct federal government involvement in water projects improved. President Franklin Roosevelt’s first 100 days in office brought a number of new laws to deal with the severe economic depression that became known as the Great Depression. Two of these laws, the Tennessee Valley Authority Act of 1933 and the National Recovery Act of 1933 (NIRA), had particular significance for water resource development.The natural pattern of Tennessee River was characterized by large spring flows that produceddestructive floods and low summer flows that restricted navigation. The intensity and frequency of the events discouraged development and contributed to persistent poverty in the valley. To counter these natural obstacles, the Tennessee Valley Authority Act of 1933 created Tennessee Valley Authority (TV A), a public agency with broad powers to develop the Tennessee River system in the interest of navigation, flood control, and national defense, and to promote development in the region, including authority to build dams and reservoirs and to generate and sell hydroelectric power. The TV A is a unique institution in that it brings all the water-related functions of the federal government of the single body. The TV A used its authority to transform the Tennessee River into one of the most highly regulated rivers in the world within about two decades. The TVA inherited the Wilson Dam, and by the beginning of the Second World War it had completed six additional multipurpose dams with power plants and locks for navigation. Investments in dams and hydropower facilities within the Tennessee Valley also received high priority during the war.The NIRA authorized the creation of the Public Works Administration to create jobs while undertaking work of benefit to the community. The NIRA also gave the United States President unprecedented powers to initiate public works, including water projects. The Public Works Administration provided loans and grants to state and local governments and to federal agencies for municipal waterworks, sewage plants, irrigation, flood control, and waterpower projects.26. All of following are mentioned as resulting from the Great Depression EXCEPT ______.A) an increase in unemploymentB) a change in political thinkingC) a new study of the history of droughtsD) a different approach to water projects27. It can be inferred from the passage that before the 1930’s the role of the federal government in waterprojects was _______.A) more limited than it was after 1930B) more important than its role in other conservation projectsC) restricted to the Great Plains regionD) designed to help with drought recovery28. The word “unprecedented” (Para. 3) is closest in meaning to ______.A) not extensiveB) not existing beforeC) not used oftenD) not needing money29. Which of the following discouraged development of the Tennessee Valley prior to 1933?A) Laws imposed by the local government.B) The geographical features of the valley.C) The lack of suitable building materials.D) The effects of seasonal flows of the river.30. According to the passage, the Tennessee Valley Authority decided to ______.A) introduce rules to control the use of the Tennessee RiverB) build the Wilson DamC) reduce investment in hydropower facilities in the Tennessee ValleyD) increase the price of electricityPassage TwoWithin fifteen years Britain and other nations should be well on with the building of huge industrial complexes for the recycling of waste. The word rubbish could lose its meaning because everything which goes into the dumps would be made into something useful. Even the most dangerous and unpleasantwastes would provide energy if nothing else.The latest project is to take a city of around half a million inhabitants and discover exactly what raw materials go into it and what go out. The aim is to find out how much of these raw materials could be provided if a plant for recycling waste were built just outside the city. This plant would recycle not only metal such as steel, lead and copper, but also paper and rubber as well.Another new project is being set up to discover the best ways of sorting and separating the rubbish. When this project is complete, the rubbish will be processed like this: first, it will pass through sharp metal bars which will tear open the plastic bags in which rubbish is usually packed; then it will pass through a powerful fan to separate the lightest elements from the heavy solids; after that grounders and rollers break up everything that can be broken. Finally, the rubbish will pass under magnets, which will remove the bits of iron and steel; the rubber and plastic will then be sorted out in the final stage.The first full-scale giant recycling plants are, perhaps, fifteen years away. Indeed, with the growing cost of transporting rubbish to more distant dumps, some big cities will be forced to build their own recycling plants before long.31. The phrase “be well on with…” (Para. 1) most probably means _______.A) have completed what was startedB) get ready to startC) have achieved a great dealD) put an end to32. What is NOT mentioned as a part of the recycling process described in Paragraph 3?A) Breaking up whatever is breakable.B) Sharpening metal bars.C) Separating light elements from the heavy ones.D) Sorting out small pieces of metal.33. What’s the main reason for big cities to build their own recycling plants?A) To deal with wastes in a better way.B) To protect the environment from pollution.C) To get raw materials locally.D) To get big profits from those plants.34. The first full-scale huge recycling plants ______.A) began to operate fifteen years agoB) will probably take less than fifteen years to buildC) will be built fifteen years laterD) will probably be in operation in fifteen years35. The passage is mainly about ______.A) a cheap way to get energyB) the location of recycling plantsC) new ways of recycling wastesD) the protection of city environmentPassage ThreeIn 1972, a century after the first national park in the United States was established at Yellowstone, legislation was passed to create the National Marine Sanctuaries（国家海洋保护区）Program. The intent of this legislation was to provide protection to selected coastal habitats（栖息地）similar to that existing for land areas designated（指定）as national parks. The designation of an area a marine sanctuary indicates that it is a protected area, just as a national park is. People are permitted to visit and observe there, but living organisms and their environments may not be harmed or removed.The National Marine Sanctuary Program was created by the Marine Protection, Research and Sanctuaries Act of 1972. This authorizes the Secretary of Commerce to designate and manage areas of the marine environment with special national significance due to their conservation, recreational, ecological, historical, scientific, cultural, archeological, educational, or esthetic qualities as national marine sanctuaries. Initially, 70 sites were proposed as candidates for sanctuary status. Two and a half decades later, only fifteen sanctuaries had been designated, with half of these established after 1978. They range in size from the very small (less than 1 square kilometer) Fagatele Bay National Marine Sanctuary in American Samoa to the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary in California, extending over 15,744 square kilometers.The National Marine Sanctuaries Program is a crucial part of new management practices in which whole communities of species, and not just individual species, are offered some degree of protection from habitat degradation and overexploitation. Only in this way can a reasonable degree of marine species diversity be maintained in a setting that also maintains the natural interrelationships that exist among these species.Several other types of marine protected areas exist in the United States and other countries. The National Estuarine Research Reserve System, managed by the United States government, includes 23 designated and protected estuaries（港湾）. Outside the United States, marine protected-area programs exist as marine parks, reserves, and preserves. Over 100 designated areas exist around the periphery of the Carbbean Sea. Others range from the well-known Australian Great Barrer Reef Marine Park to lesser-known parks in countries such as Thailand and Indonesia, where tourism is placing growing pressures on fragile coral reef systems. As state, national, and international agencies come to recognize the importance of conserving marine biodiversity, marine projected areas, whether as sanctuaries, parks, or estuarine reserves, will play an increasingly important role in preserving that diversity.36. What does the passage mainly talk about?A) Various marine conservation programs.B) Differences among marine parks, sanctuaries, and reserves.C) International agreements on coastal protection.D) Similarities between land and sea protected environments.37. The passage mentions the Monterey Bay National Marine Sanctuary in paragraph 2 as an example of asanctuary that ______.A) is worth protectingB) covers a large areaC) is the largest one in AmericaD) was designated by the Secretary of Commerce38. According to the passage, all of the following are achievements of the National Marine SanctuariesProgram EXCEPT ______.A) the discovery of several new marine organismsB) the preservation of connections between individual marine speciesC) the protection of coastal habitatsD) the establishment of areas where the public can observe marine life39. Based on the passage, ______ is regarded as a threat to marine areas outside the United States.A) limitations in financial supportB) the use of marine species as foodC) variability of the climateD) increases in tourism40. The word “periphery” in paragraph 4 is closest in meaning to ______.A) depthB) landmassC) outer edgeD) habitatPassage FourIt is all very well to blame traffic jams, the cost of petrol and the quick pace of modern life, but manners on the roads are becoming horrible. Everybody knows that the nicest men become monsters behind the wheel. You might tolerate the odd road-hog, the rude and inconsiderate driver, but nowadays the well-mannered motorist is the exception to the rule.Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense too. It takes the most coolheaded and good-tempered of drivers to resist the temptation to revenge when subjected to uncivilized behavior. On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards relieving the tensions of motoring. A friendly nod or a wave of acknowledgement in response to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of goodwill and tolerance so necessary in modern traffic conditions. But such acknowledgements of politeness are all too rare today.However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous. Typical examples are the driver who brakes violently to allow a car to emerge from a side street at some hazard to following traffic, when a few seconds later the road would be clear anyway; or the man who waves a child across a zebra crossing into the path of oncoming vehicles that may be unable to stop in time. The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they care to. It always amazes me that the highways are not covered with the dead bodies of these grannies.A veteran driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if motorists learnt to filter correctly into traffic streams one at a time without causing the total blockages that give rise to bad temper. Unfortunately, modern motorists can’t even learn to drive, let alone master the subtler aspects of roadsmanship. Years ago the experts warned us that the car-ownership explosion would demand a lot more give-and-take from all road users. It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart.41. Accoding to this passage, troubles on the road are primarily caused by _______.A) people’s attitude towards the road-hogB) the rhythm of modern lifeC) the behavior of the driverD) traffic conditions42. The sentence “You might tolerate the odd-hog… the rule.” (Para. 1) implies that _______.A) our society is unjust towards well-mannered motoristsB) rude drivers can be met only occasionallyC) the well-mannered motorist cannot tolerate the road-hogD) nowadays impolite drivers constitute the majority of motorists43. By “good sense” in paragraph 2, the writer means _______.A) the driver’s ability to understand and react reasonablyB) the driver’s prompt response to difficult and severe conditionsC) the driver’s tolerance of rude or even savage behaviorD) the driver’s acknowledgement of politeness and regulations44. Experts have long pointed out that in the face of car-ownership explosion, _______.A) road users should make more sacrificeB) drivers should be ready to yield to each otherC) drivers should have more communication among themselvesD) drivers will suffer great loss if they pay no respect to others45. In the writer’s opinion, _______.A) strict traffic regulations are badly neededB) drivers should apply road politeness properlyC) rude drivers should be punishedD) drivers should avoid traffic jamsPart III Vocabulary and Structure(10%)46.

The bath plug could not have been invented before the bath, except as a small object with which to play ice hockey. The order in which inventions are made is very important, much more important than has ever been realised,because we tend automatically to think that later inventions are better than earlier ones. A moment's thought will show this is not so. If, for example, a solution to today's urban traffic problems was proposed in the shape of a small man-powered two-wheeled vehicle which would make the motor car look like a cumbersome overpowered device, a space rocket trying to tackle suburban problems, we would greet it as a great technological break through.“Bicycle makes car obsolete!”we would cry. Unfortunately, the bike came first, so we shall unconsciously see it as a cruder version of the car.Other things which may have been invented too early are the airship, the radio, the railway train, the piano-roll player and the cuff-link.Consider also the zip. Zips represent a technological advance on buttons, being faster and more complete. They are also more liable to come adrift, break, jam, malfunction, stick and catch. Buttons can only go wrong if the thread is faulty. Even then, buttons can be mended by the user. Zips rarely can.1. The expression“ice hockey”(sentence 2) means_________.A. a freezing compartmentB. a game played on an ice rinkC. a sweet flavoured frozen foodD. a building in which ice is made.2. If the bicycle were to be invented now the car would appear__________.A. unsuitable for its purposeB. in advance of its timeC. unnecessarily expensiveD. too fast for safety3. The airship and the radio are examples of thins which__________.A. were not fully appreciated at the time of their inventionB. are more suitable for use now than when they were inventedC. have been neglected in favour of more recent inventionsD. are less suited to their purpose than earlier inventions4. According to the writer, buttons are preferable to zips because they__________.A. are more convenientB. are more reliableC. cost less to replaceD. are safer to use5. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A. A Cumbersome Over-Powered DeviceB. A Great Technological BreakthroughC. Do Zips Represent A Technological Advance?D. Does Technological Progress Work Backwards?Questions 6～10It took policeman John Pooley only an hour or two to solve the Case of the Thorpeness Burglary. It must be said, however, that the crime was not difficult. The description, though slight, narrowed the number of persons likely to commit such a crime...to one. Pooley, of course, knows everyone in the three villages in his care, and their children. But after he had made the arrest—something he has to do more rarely than once a month—he felt troubled because he not only knew the man, but also knew that he had family problems.Like most village police men, John Pooley is in charge of a very large area by police standards, which includes the three villages of Middleton, Dunwich and Westleton, where he lives. With a total population of 1, 219, he has more than twice as many people to look after as the average policeman has. Moreover, he is attached to the Halesworth subdivision and is frequently given duties outside his home area. After 15 years as a policeman, he accepts these duties without question, but his villages are clearly where his heart and interest really lie. When he was first sent to Westleton, he lived in the police house which was both his home and the police station; when the system was changed, he bought the house where he now lives with his wife, Ann, and his two daughters.He could hardly be better qualified for the job of village policeman. Before he joined the police, he was an agricultural worker for five years and a male nurse in a mental hospital for six years. He says:“If you haven't had another job before you join the police, you tend to think nothing but police.”Crime in the country, of course, is somewhat different from city crime. Who was ever attacked while walking along the village street in Middleton? The things which John Pooley has to watch for are people stealing tools and equipment from farm vehicles, or wood from the surrounding forests. There are natural dangers too: he is so worried about the fire risk in forests that he has turned his bedroom window into a look-post.6. Why was John Pooley able to solve the Case of the Thorpeness Burglary so easily?A. He had been given a full description of the criminal.B. He knew everything that happened in the area.C. There were few crime cases in his area.D. There was only one possible suspect.7. From the passage it appears that nowadays a village policeman, like John Pooley, has to _______.A. live in a village police houseB. put out forest firesC. go through a long period of trainingD. look after more people than policemen elsewhere8. According to the passage, we learn that he________.A. is unpopular with the people in the villagesB. objects when he is given work outside his own areaC. prefers working in the villages of Middleton, Dunwich and WestletonD. feels unhappy when he arrests anybody.9. John Pooley thinks he is well qualified for his job because_________.A. he had other jobs before he became a policemanB. has has been a policeman for fifteen yearsC. he has lived in Westleton all his lifeD. he is a countryman at heart10. Crime in this area is different from crime in a big city because_________.A. it is hardly ever violentB. people here have more family problemsC. the victim is easily attackedD. it is connected with natural disastersQuestions 11～15Another dropped stitch in life's rich tapestry: 15-year-old schoolboy who was caught in the Stock Market crash after a ￡100,000 shares gamble. Peeved stockbrokers to whom he owes ￡20,000 now say in injured tones:“He has been very naughty. We thought he was 19.”I must say that small fry finances have come on a bit since the era of Billy Bunter's nonarriving five bob postal order. While not in the same league as Britain's youngest yuppie, I see from a Health Education Authority survey that school teenagers are now spending ￡10 a week or more on records, clothes and booze. The good news is that nearly one in two of the big spenders holds, the girls either babysitting or working in shops and cafes.I call this a very welcome trend. For a very long time, going right back to the golden age of the Welfate State, there was a real social stigma attached to the idea of school kids working. Local authorities frowned on it, teachers disapproved of it, parents felt guilty about it, and children themselves came to believe that having to earn their own pocket money was a great imposition.To be sure, there is still opposition in some quarters. But by and large the pendulum seems to be swinging the right way again. The other day I heard of a gang of lads who station themselves outside a car wash every Saturday offering, much to the rage of the manager, to do the job half-price. Now that's enterprise. Back in the days of the Saturday penny. I was something of an entrepreneur myself. I had five paper rounds, a firewood business, a golf-caddying concession and a contract to carry groceries back to the convent for a bunch of local nuns. I was working a good twenty-four hours a week out of school, and as the saying goes, it never did me any harm. Indeed I'm sure it did me a good deal of good.Ten pounds a week does seem an awful lot to be squandering on fripperies, but at least it's as often as not their own hard earned cash. More to the point, they learn at a tender age that while it may or may not be ture that money cannot buy happiness, at least happiness—in the form of satisfaction at a job well done, that is—can buy money.But don't sink it all in futures, kids.11. According to the passage, which of the following indicates the stockbrokers' attitude to theschoolboy?A. GuiltyB. Awful.C. Satisfied.D. Annoyed12. According to the passage, which of the following is the most popular job for boys?A. Baby-sitting.B. Working in cafes.C. Paper rounds.D. Working in shops.13. It can be concluded from the passage that local authorities and teachers frowned on childrenworking part-time because_________.A. it was socially unacceptableB. nearly one in two of the big spenders got a poor markC. teenagers had spent too much money on recordsD. money cannot buy happiness and progress14. How did the writer earn extra money when he was a teenager?A. Selling sandalwood.B. Working in shops.C. Working in cafes.D. Delivering groceries.15. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?A. Children may get satisfaction from working part-time.B. School teenagers usually spend ￡10 a week on records.C. A good 24 hours a week out of school is the right amount of time for kids.D. School girls often work in shops and cafes.Questions 16～20In the mid-1980's no thrusting executive was complete without his her personal organiser—a leather binder containing everything from address-book and diary to a career-planning chart. Then came the portable telephone, whispered into with ostentatious discretion. Now the electronic organiser has arrived. Psion, a British firm which created the first such digital diarycum-calculator, sells about 200,000 a year. Competitors are piling into the market.When Psion launched its hand-held computer in 1982, it foresaw two markets. One was in the salerooms and warehouses of large companies. Here, stocktakers and salesmen needed a portable way to talk to the big computers back at head office. About half of Psion's sales now come from companies—as well as many lucrative contracts to write software specially tailored to link its little machines into a firm's computer network.The other half of Psion's sales come from individuals keen to organise themselves electronically. Most use the machine as a “personal data base”(i.e., address book and diary) or to crunch numbers too tough for their calculators to handle. It takes several times longer to tap a name or a date into the tiny keyboard of a hand-held computer than it does to write it down on an Asprey pad. But hundreds of thousands of people seem to think it worthwhile—maybe because the computer can search speedily through electronically stored names—or because it impresses their friends.Whatever the reasons, other companies are impressed with the market the Psion Organiser Ⅱhas discovered. Japan's Sharp recently launched a similar machine, and Casio has been nibbling at the edges of the market for some time. Other companies are selling programs that enable Psion to do tasks ranging from complex financial calculations to rudimentary French-English translation.A fledgling British firm has launched an electronic “Agenda”with a new, faster way of entering “lunch with Desdemona”. It uses the Microwriter keyboard, which was invented some years ago by Mr. Cy Endfield, a film director whose other works include “Zulu”. His idea soon gained the support of Sir Mark Weinberg, chairman of an insurance group. Allied Dunbar. He isa 30% shareholder in Microwriter and has written its notably undaunting instruction book.In addition to the standard letter keys, the Microwriter has a second keyboard consisting of five unmarked keys, one for each finger. By pressing the keys in various combinations, one can learn quickly to “type”almost as fast as on a full keyboard. The Microwriter was first peddled as a sort of hand-held word-processor, but only about 7,000 were sold. Now the firm is hoping that the boom in electronic organisers will revive its fortunes.16. According to the passage, which of the following is true about a personal organiser popularin the mid-1980's?A. It had an expensive binding.B. It contained all the information needed.C. It was an impact made on status-conscious friends.D. It was indispensable to ambitious executives.17. The advantage of the Psion product over earlier personal organisers is.A. that information can be retrieved more quicklyB. the ability to provide a quicker input of informationC. improved electronicsD. its processing of numbers18. Compared to traditional calculators, the Psion product .A. is cheaperB. is more durableC. has greater capacityD. has a longer quality guarantee19. According to the author, the response of other companies to Psion has been to .A. criticize its technologyB. launch more competitively priced productsC. capitalise on its successD. produce bilingual models20. We can learn from the passage that one novel feature of the Microwriter is .A. its instruction bookB. the fact that it was invented by a film directorC. its dual keyboardD. the fact that it is a word-processorQuestions 21～25Great emotional and intellectual resources are demanded in quarrels; stamina helps, as does a capacity for obsession. But no one is born a good quarreller; the craft must be learned.There are two generally recognised apprenticeships. First, and universally preferred, is a long childhood spent in the company of fractious siblings. After several years of rainy afternoons, brothers and sister develop a sure feel for the tactics of attrition and the niceties of strategy so necessary in first-rate quarrelling.The only child, or the child of peaceful or repressed households, is likely to grow up failing to understand that quarrels, unlike arguments, are not about anything, least of all the pursuit oftruth. The apparent subject of a quarrel is a mere pretext; the real business is the quarrel itself.Essentially, adversaries in a quarrel are out to establish or rescue their dignity. Hence the elementary principle: anything may be said. The unschooled, probably no less quarrelsome by inclination than anyone else, may spend an hour with knocking heart, sifting the consequences of calling this old acquaintance a lying fraud. Too late! With a cheerful wave the old acquaintance has left the room.Those who miss their first apprenticeship may care to enrol in the second, the bad marriage. This can be perilous for the neophyte; the mutual intimacy of spouses makes them at once more vulnerable and more dangerous in attack. Once sex is involved, the stakes are higher all round. And there is an unspoken rule that those who love, or have loved, one another are granted a licence for unlimited beastliness such as is denied to mere sworn enemies. For all that, some of our most tenacious black belt quarrellers have come to it late in lie and mastered every throw, from the Grushing Silence to the Gloating Apology, in less than ten years of marriage.A quarrel may last years among brooding types with time on their hands, like writers, half a lifetime is not uncommon. In its most refined form, a quarrel may consist of the participants not talking to each other. They will need to scheme laboriously to appear in public together to register their silence.Brief, violent quarrels are also known as rows. In all cases the essential ingredient remains the same; the original must be forgotten as soon as possible. From here on, dignity, pride, self-esteem honour are the crucial issues, which is why quarrelling, like jealousy, is an all-consuming business, virtually a profession. For the quarreler's very sefl-hood is on the line. To lose an argument is a brief disappointment, much like losing a game of tennis, but to be crushed in a quarrel...rather bite off your tongue and spread it at your opponent's feet.21. Unschooled quarrelers are said to be at disadvantage because_________.A. their insults fail to offend their opponentB. they reveal their nervousness to their opponentC. they suffer from remorse for what they've saidD. they are apprehensive about speaking their minds22. According to the writer, quarrels between married couples may be_________.A. physically violentB. extremely frequentC. essentially trivialD. sincerely regretted23. When quarreling, both children and married couples may__________.A. be particularly brutalB. use politeness as a weaponC. employ skillful maneuversD. exaggerate their feelings24. The difference between a quarrel and an argument is said to be that__________.A. the former involves individual egosB. the former concerns strong points of viewC. the latter has well-established rulesD. the latter concerns trivial issues25. In the passage as a whole, the writer treats quarreling as if it were__________.A. a military campaignB. a social skillC. a moral evilD. a natural giftQuestions 26～30When an individual enters the presence of others, they commonly seek to acquire information about him or to bring into play information about him already possessed. They will be interested in his general socio-economic status, his conception of self, his attitude towards them, his competence and his trustworthiness. Although some of this information seems to be sought almost as an end in itself, there are usually quite practical reasons for acquiring it. Information about the individual helps to define the situation, enabling others to know in advance what he will expect of them and what they may expect of him. Informed in these ways, the others will know how best to act in order to call forth a desired response from him.For those present, many sources of information become accessible and many carriers (or “sign-vehicles”) become available for conveying this information. If unacquatinted with the individual, observers can glean clues from his conduct and appearnce which allow them to apply their previous experience with individuals roughly similar to the one before them or, more important, to apply untested stereotypes to him. They can also assume from past experience that only individuals of a particular kind are likely to be found in a given social setting. They can rely on what the individual says about himself or on documentary evidence he provides as to who and what he is. If prior to the interaction, they can rely on assumptions as to the persistence and generality of psychological traits as a means of prediciting his present and future behaviour However, during the period in which the individual is in the immediate presence of the others, few events may occur which directly provide the others with the conclusive information they will need if they are to direct wisely their own activity. Many crucial facts lie beyond the time and place of interaction to lie concealed within it. For example, “true”or real attitudes, beliefs and emotions of the individual can be ascertained only indirectly, through his avowals or through what appears to be involuntary expressive behaviour. Similarly, if the individual offers the others a product or service, they will often find that during the interaction there will be no time and place immediately available for eating the pudding that the proof can be found in. They will be forced to accept some events as conventional or natural signs of something not directly available to the senses. 26. In paragraph 2, what does the underlined word “them”in “...which allow them to applytheir previous experience with individuals...”refer to?A. beliefsB. emotionsC. individualsD. observers27. The expression “untested stereotypes”(paragraph 2) means_________.A. unstable mental characteristicsB. the capacity not proved by a person's earning powerC. fixed views that have not been questionedD. areas of information not available。

DYNAMIC SIMULATOR OF WHEEL TYPE TRACTOR STEERING by D. Wu Visiting scholar Q. Zhang Assistant Professor J.F.Reid Professor
Department of Agricultural Engineering University of Illinois Urbana, IL 61801, USA Written for presentation at the 1998 ASAE Annual International Meeting Sponsored by ASAE Disney’s Coronado Springs Resort Orlando, Florida July 12-16, 1998 Summary: There are a variety of factors affecting steering performance on off-road vehicles, including vehicle dynamics and soil stiffness. It is essential to understand the steering dynamics for designing a reasonable electrohydraulic (E/H) steering control system for wheel-type tractor. A computer-controlled E/H steering simulator, consisting of a steering actuator and a steering load simulator, is an effective tool for studying E/H controlled steering dynamics. This paper describes a computer controlled E/H steering simulator for wheel-type off-road vehicles. It consists of a digital simulation model on Matlab, an electrohydraulic actuated steering actuator, a computer controlled load simulator, and a hydraulic power unit.

1. Introduction There are a variety of factors affecting steering performance on off-road vehicles, including the vehicle dynamics and soil stiffness. The steering mechanism and the steering load varies widely as the structure and the size of the vehicle changes. It is essential to understand the steering dynamics for designing a reasonable electrohydraulic (E/H) steering control system for wheel-type tractor. A computer-controlled E/H steering simulator, consisting of a steering actuator and a steering load simulator, is an effective tool for studying E/H controlled steering dynamics. Researchers developed many steering simulators for on-road vehicles (Gianutsos and Beattie, 1992; Betz et al.,1994). Those simulators focused mainly on the steering performance, rather than the steering dynamics. Different from on-road vehicles, off-road vehicles may travel on many kinds of terrain with different types of terrain and soil surface conditions. It is resonable to expoit different steering loads for off-road equipment travelling under these conditions. To represent the steering dynamics well, it is important for an off-road vehicle steering simulator to have a controllable road capability. For robust force controlling, Bilodeau and Papadopoulos (1997) developed model for identification of a hydraulic servoactuator system. This servoactuator system included a mechanical shaft and a mass-spring-damper loading system. The load can't be continuously adjusted during the test. Betz et al (1994) built a load simulator for an AC drive system. This simulator is physically a computer controlled DC machine, and connected to the control system via a rigid shaft to simulate static loads, first order dynamic loads, and second order dynamic loads. Anderson (1988) explicitly described a regular
