A successful businessman, addressing the commercial club of his city, told a story of an orphan (孤儿) named Jim.Jim was 12 years old, who was the laughing stock of the whole town. He never remembered having a kind word spoken to him in his whole life. One day as Jim walked down the street, he saw some flowers slip from a little lady’s arms just in front of him. Jim gathered up the flowers and replaced them in her arms.“Thank you, dear; you are a nice little boy.” she said kindly, and went on her way after giving him a bright smile.Jim was amazed. These were the first kind words he had ever heard in his whole twelve years of existence. He stood and stared after her until she was out of sight, then he made straight for a stream. He sat down on the bank of the stream and did some thinking.“Thank you, dear; you are a nice little boy, ” he thought. Finally the boy pulled from his pockets a piece of broken mirror and looked at himself. He saw nothing but dirt. He went down to the water and washed his face carefully, almost painfully. Then he looked again. He scarcely recognized himself. He stood straight and looked up instead of down for the first time since he could remember.A feeding of self﹣respect awoke within his being. At that moment the course of his life was changed; a determination to be worthy of the kind words spoken to him by the little lady, and to pass them on, took possession of his soul. After telling this story of Jim, the speaker paused and then he shocked the audience by saying, “Gentlemen, I was that boy. That gentle woman implanted in my life the first seed of kindness.

However, researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology have found a way to harvest power from trees. They use the same metal for both electrodes(电极)specifically in order not to confuse this effect with the potato effect.While proving that trees can provide a source of power is a significant step, a key question remains: can the tiny voltage(电压)produced by a tree be used for anything useful? Now scientists are debating over how to use this power source for human benefits.The most practical thing is fire alarm for forest department, originating from the tree itself. Trees electric power can charge a battery. This battery in turn will be connected to a small sensor. This sensor will power a brief radio transmission(传送). That radio signal will transport daily soil and air condition measurements to a network of much larger, solar powered Forest-Service environmental monitoring stations. Those sensors wilt also give out a crisis signal in the event of a sudden rise in—air temperature—that might indicate the outbreak of a forest fire.“I truly believe it has potential,” said Victoria Henderson, branch chief for equipment and chemicals at the Forest Serviced National Interagency Fire Center. "If this can enhance(提高)our existing technology to a degree that would gain us a lot more fire protection, then we’d look at a plan to purchase it for our nationwide infrastructure(基础设施), which is huge."Researchers have discovered that the greater the pH difference between the tree and the soil the more the energy will be produced. Some researchers also admit that “tree power” isn’t as practical as solar energy, but believe that the system could be scaled-up as a low-cost option for powering tree sensors that help detect environmental conditions or forest fires. Using the electronic outp ut to keep track of a tree’s health is another possibility.(1)Why does the author mention the potato battery experiment in the first paragraph?A.To explain what it is.B.To stress the importance of electricity.C.To introduce the power source from trees.D.To encourage people to try this experiment.(2)What do we know about the fire alarm mentioned in the third paragraph?A.The fire alarm can make a very loud sound.B.Smoke from a fire can cause the alarm to go off.C.The electric power it needs comes from the tree.D.It has been widely used in the forest department.(3)What’s Victoria Henderson’s attitude towards the fire alarm system?A.Cautious.B.Favorable.C.Disapproving.D.Unconcerned.(4)What causes trees to create electrical currents?A.The sensor implanted in the tree.B.The new way adopted by the researchers.C.The special metal used in the battery experiment.D.The pH difference between the soil and the trees.【答案】CCBD【考点】推理判断说明文阅读观点态度细节理解科教类阅读【解析】本文是一篇科教类阅读,文章主要介绍了世界各地的孩子们都尝试过土豆或柠檬电池实验,他们知道在食物和两种不同的金属之间产生反应可以产生电流。
兰州大学18年6月考试大学英语2作业考核试题

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------《大学英语(2)》命题作业:作业名称:Studying abroad作业要求:Nowadays more and more parents are eager to send their little children to study abroad before they finish high school. It is quite understandable for parents to send their children to study overseas because they place high expectations on their children. Companies and institutions at home are giving more and more emphasis on overseas experiences, too. Thus, pursuing overseas study became a kind of short cut in gaining a better future. But not all families can afford the huge cost for their children’s overseas study, especially for the children who have to study abroad for many years. Moreover, some students may be too young to restrain themselves and are likely to commit crimes abroad.What do you think of studying abroad before finishing high school in China and when do you think is the best time for people to study abroad?1、按英语作文格式书写;2、说明核心观点并进行阐述;3、英文字数控制在400-500个单词;4、没有统一答案,请勿抄袭。
兰大大学英语(1)离线作业

《大学英语(1)》命题作业:(1)作业名称:在外语学习中,如何正确认识英语的听说能力?如何有效实现?作业要求:请阅读以下材料作答:有很多这样的场景和例子:学习了多年英语的朋友去国外出差或参加国际学术会议,突然发现到达对方海关,在和对方工作人员进行简单交流的时候,竟然难以表述自己的想法!(请同学们注意,对方的海关工作人员是一个非学术地位的普通职位);当自己乘坐Taxi或Subway购票的时候,难以表述自己想去的目的地…。
这样现实的例子,在生活中不胜枚举。
其实,学英语有一个基本的方法,就是同学们一定不要忽视了基本的听说能力培养。
外语教学的目的不仅仅要增加英语学习者的阅读能力和语法分析能力,更重要的是要加强人类基本的交流能力——听与说。
1、以小论文格式完成。
2、表明核心观点并加以阐述。
3、字数控制在800-1000字。
正确认识英语听说能力摘要:语言是人类交流思想、进行交际的工具。
要自如地运用一种外语,首先应该掌握所学语言的语音、词法和句法,而这些只有通过大量语言实践才能学到。
在基础英语教学的特定阶段,在严格控制的情景之中,运用各种方法对学生集中地、系统地进行口语句型训练,可以帮助学生迅速掌握和熟练运用这些基本句型,有助于新的语言习惯的形成和听说能力的提高。
在多年的外语教学,尤其是在听说教学实践中,笔者深深地体会到,在听、说、读、写这四项基本技能中,很多外语学习者都抱怨听说能力提高的速度慢或者说难以提高。
那么,听说能力是不是确实难以提高? 而在学习的过程中又该如何应对并注意什么问题呢? 下面笔者就此问题谈谈自己的看法。
一、扎实的大好学生的语言基础语音基础知识的掌握,是影响英语学习者提高听说能力的重要因素。
在基础阶段,学生在语音方面应有扎实的基本功。
语音是否正确,语调是否达意,都直接影响到人们能否得体地进行交际。
英语中的48个音素起着区别词义的作用,因此一定要发音正确,不能有一丝一毫的马虎,否则就会失之毫厘,差之千里。

As universities go digital, students are complaining of a new hit to their finances that's replacing—and sometimes joining—expensive textbooks: pricey online access codes that are required to complete coursework and submit assignments.B) The codes—which typically range in price from $ 80 to $ 155 per course—give students onlineaccess to systems developed by education companies like McGraw Hill and Pearson. These companies, which long reaped big profits as textbook publishers, have boasted that their new online offerings, when pushed to students through universities they partner with, represent the future of the industry.C) But critics say the digital access codes represent the same profit-seeking ethos (观念) of thetextbook business, and are even harder for students to opt out of. While they could once buy second-hand textbooks, or share copies with friends, the digital systems are essentially impossible to avoid.D) "When we talk about the access code we see it as the new face of the textbook monopoly (垄断), a new way to lock students around this system," said Ethan Senack, the higher education advocate for the U.S. Public Interest Research Group, to BuzzFeed News. "Rather than $250 (for a print textbook) you're paying $ 120," said Senack. "But because it's all digital it eliminates the used book market and eliminates any sharing and because homework and tests are through an access code, it eliminates any ability to opt out."E) Sarina Harpet, a 19-year-old student at Virginia Tech, was faced with a tough dilemma whenshe first started college in 2015—pay rent or pay to turn in her chemistry homework. She told BuzzFeed News that her freshman chemistry class required her to use Connect, a system provided by McGraw Hill where students can submit homework, take exams and track their grades. But the code to access the program cost $ 120—a big sum for Harper, who had already put down $ 450 for textbooks, and had rent day approaching.F) She decided to wait for her next work-study paycheck, which was typically $ 150- $ 200, topay for the code. She knew that her chemistry grade may take a dive as a result. "It's a balancing act," she said. "Can I really afford these access codes now?" She didn't hand in her first two assignments for chemistry, which started her out in the class with a failing grade.G) The access codes may be another financial headache for students, but for textbook businesses,they're the future. McGraw Hill, which controls 21% of the higher education market, reported in March that its digital content sales exceeded print sales for the first time in 2015. The company said that 45% of its $ 140 million revenue in 2015 "was derived from digital products."H) A Pearson spokesperson told BuzzFeed News that "digital materials are less expensive and agood investment" that offer new features, like audio texts, personalized knowledge checks and expert videos. Its digital course materials save students up to 60% compared to traditional printed textbooks, the company added. McGraw Hill didn't respond to a request for comment, but its CEO David Levin told the Financial Times in August that "in higher education, the era of the printed textbook is now over."I) The textbook industry insists the online systems represent a better deal for students. "Thesedigital products aren't just mechanisms for students to submit homework, they offer all kinds of features," David Anderson, the executive director of higher education with the Association of American Publishers, told BuzzFeed News. "It helps students understand in a way that you can't do with print homework assignments."J)David Hunt, an associate professor in sociology at Augusta University, which has rolled out digital textbooks across its math and psychology departments, told BuzzFeed News that he understands the utility of using systems that require access codes. But he doesn't require his students to buy access to a learning program that controls the class assignments. "I try to make things as inexpensive as possible," said Hunt, who uses free digital textbooks for his classes but designs his own curriculum. "The online systems may make my life a lot easier but I feel like I'm giving up control. The discussions are the things where my expertise can benefit the students most."K) A 20-year-old junior at Georgia Southern University told BuzzFeed News that she normally spends $ 500-$ 600 on access codes for class. In one case, the professor didn't require students to buy a textbook, just an access code to turn in homework. This year she said she spent $ 900 on access codes to books and programs. "That's two months of rent," she said. "You can't sell any of it back. With a traditional textbook you can sell it for $ 30 - $ 50 and that helps to pay for your new semester's books. With an access code, you're out of that money. "L) Benjamin Wolverton, a 19-year-old student at the University of South Carolina, told BuzzFeed News that "it's ridiculous that after paying tens of thousands in tuition we have to pay for all these access codes to do our homework." Many of the access codes he's purchased have been required simply to complete homework or quizzes. "Often it's only 10% of your grade in class." he said. "You're paying so much money for something that hardly affects your grade—but if you didn't have it, it would affect your grades enough. It would be bad to start out at a B or C." Wolverton said he spent $ 500 on access codes for digital books and programs this semester.M) Harper, a poultry (家禽) science major, is taking chemistry again this year and had to buy a new access code to hand in her homework. She rented her economics and statistics textbooks for about $ 20 each. But her access codes for homework, which can't be rented or bought second-hand, were her most expensive purchases: $ 120 and $ 85.N) She still remembers the sting of her first experience skipping an assignment due to the high prices. "We don't really have a missed assignment policy," she said. "If you miss it, you just miss it. I just got zeros on a couple of first assignments. I managed to pull everything back up.But as a scared freshman looking at their grades, it's not fun."36. A student's yearly expenses on access codes may amount to their rent for two months.37. The online access codes may be seen as a way to tie the students to the digital system.38. If a student takes a course again, they may have to buy a new access code to submit theirassignments.39. McGraw Hill accounts for over one-fifth of the market share of college textbooks.40. Many traditional textbook publishers are now offering online digital products, which theybelieve will be the future of the publishing business.41. One student complained that they now had to pay for access codes in addition to the hightuition.42. Digital materials can cost students less than half the price of traditional printed booksaccording to a publisher.43. One student decided not to buy her access code until she received the pay for her part-time job.44. Online systems may deprive teachers of opportunities to make the best use of their expertisefor their students.45. Digital access codes are criticized because they are profit-driven just like the textbookbusiness.Section CDirections: There are 2 passages in this section. Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A), B), C) andD). You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet2with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 46 and 50 are based on the following passage.Passage OneQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.Losing your ability to think and remember is pretty scary. We know the risk of dementia (痴呆症) increases with age. But if you have memory slips, you probably needn't worry. There are pretty clear differences between signs of dementia and age-related memory loss.After age 50, it's quite common to have trouble remembering the names of people, places and things quickly, says Dr. Kirk Daffner of Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston.The brain ages just like the rest of the body. Certain parts shrink, especially areas in the brain that are important to learning, memory and planning. Changes in brain cells can affect communication between different regions of the brain. And blood flow can be reduced as blood vessels narrow.Forgetting the name of an actor in a favorite movie, for example, is nothing to worry about. But if you forget the plot of the movie or don't remember even seeing it, that's far more concerning, Daffner says.When you forget entire experiences, he says, that's "a red flag that something more serious may be involved." Forgetting how to operate a familiar object like a microwave oven, or forgetting how to drive to the house of a friend you've visited many times before can also be signs of something going wrong.But even then, Daffner says, people shouldn't panic. There are many things that can cause confusion and memory loss, including health problems like temporary stoppage of breathing during sleep, high blood pressure, or depression, as well as medications (药物) like antidepressants.You don't have to figure this out on your own. Daffner suggests going to your doctor to check on medications, health problems and other issues that could be affecting memory. And the best defense against memory loss is to try to prevent it by building up your brain's cognitive (认知的) reserve, Daffner says."Read books, go to movies, take on new hobbies or activities that force one to think in novel ways," he says. In other words, keep your brain busy and working. And also get physically active, because exercise is a known brain booster.46.Why does the author say that one needn't be concerned about memory slips?A.Not all of them are symptoms of dementia.B.They occur only among certain groups of people.C.Not all of them are related to one's age.D.They are quite common among fifty-year-olds.47.What happens as we become aged according to the passage?A.Our interaction skills deteriorate.B.Some parts of our brain stop functioning.munication within our brain weakens.D.Our whole brain starts shrinking.48.Which memory-related symptom should people take seriously?A.Totally forgetting how to do one's daily routines.B.Inability to recall details of one's life experiences.C.Failure to remember the names of movies or actors.D.Occasionally confusing the addresses of one's friends.49.What should people do when signs of serious memory loss show up?A.Check the brain's cognitive reserve.B.Stop medications affecting memory.C.Turn to a professional for assistance.D.Exercise to improve their well-being.50.What is Dr. Daffner's advice for combating memory loss?A.Having regular physical and mental checkups.B.Taking medicine that helps boost one's brain.C.Engaging in known memory repair activities.D.Staying active both physically and mentally.Passage TwoPassage TwoQuestions 51 to 55 are based on the following passage.A letter written by Charles Darwin in 1875 has been returned to the Smithsonian Institution Archives (档案馆) by the FBI after being stolen twice."We realized in the mid-1970s that it was missing," says Effie Kapsalis, head of the Smithsonian Insitution Archives. "It was noted as missing and likely taken by an intern (实习生), from what the FBI is telling us. Word got out that it was missing when someone asked to see the letter for research purposes," and the intern put the letter back. "The intern likely took the letter again once nobody was watching it."Decades passed. Finally, the FBI received a tip that the stolen document was located very close to Washington, D.C. Their art crime team recovered the letter but were unable to press charges because the time of limitations had ended. The FBI worked closely with the Archives to determine that the letter was both authentic and definitely Smithsonian's property.The letter was written by Darwin to thank an American geologist, Dr. Ferdinand Vandeveer Hayden, for sending him copies of his research into the geology of the region that would become Yellowstone National Park.The letter is in fairly good condition, in spite of being out of the care of trained museum staff for so long. "It was luckily in good shape," says Kapsalis, "and we just have to do some minor things in order to be able to unfold it. It has some glue on it that has colored it slightly, but nothing that will prevent us from using it. After it is repaired, we will take digital photos of it and that will be available online. One of our goals is to get items of high research value or interest to the public online."It would now be difficult for an intern, visitor or a thief to steal a document like this. "Archiving practices have changed greatly since the 1970s," says Kapsalis, "and we keep our high value documents in a safe that I don't even have access to."51.What happened to Darwin's letter in the 1970s?A.It was recovered by the FBI.B.It was stolen more than once.C.It was put in the archives for research purposes.D.It was purchased by the Smithsonian Archives.52.What did the FBI do after the recovery of the letter?A.They proved its authenticity.B.They kept it in a special safe.C.They arrested the suspect immediately.D.They pressed criminal charges in vain.53.What is Darwin's letter about?A.The evolution of Yellowstone National Park.B.His cooperation with an American geologist.C.Some geological evidence supporting his theory.D.His acknowledgement of help from a professional.54.What will the Smithsonian Institution Archives do with the letter according to Kapsalis?A.Reserve it for research purposes only.B.Turn it into an object of high interest.C.Keep it a permanent secret.D.Make it available online.55.What has the past half century witnessed according to Kapsalis?A.Growing interest in rare art objects.B.Radical changes in archiving practices.C.Recovery of various missing documents.D.Increases in the value of museum exhibits.Part IV Translation (30 minutes)Directions:For this part, you are allowed 30minutes to translate a passage from Chinese into English. You should write your answer on Answer Sheet 2.过去,乘飞机出行对大多数中国人来说是难以想象的。
兰州大学20年3月考试《大学英语(1)》作业考核试题

《大学英语(1)》命题作业:(1)作业名称:在外语学习中,如何正确认识英语的听说能力?如何有效实现?作业要求:请阅读以下材料作答:有很多这样的场景和例子:学习了多年英语的朋友去国外出差或参加国际学术会议,突然发现到达对方海关,在和对方工作人员进行简单交流的时候,竟然难以表述自己的想法!(请同学们注意,对方的海关工作人员是一个非学术地位的普通职位);当自己乘坐Taxi或Subway购票的时候,难以表述自己想去的目的地…。
这样现实的例子,在生活中不胜枚举。
其实,学英语有一个基本的方法,就是同学们一定不要忽视了基本的听说能力培养。
外语教学的目的不仅仅要增加英语学习者的阅读能力和语法分析能力,更重要的是要加强人类基本的交流能力——听与说。
1、以小论文格式完成。
2、表明核心观点并加以阐述。
3、字数控制在800-1000字。
在外语学习中,如何正确认识英语的听说能力?如何有效实现?在英语学习中,听说不分家,虽然在国内的某些英语考试里依然单独设置听力和口语考试,但在实际交流中,几乎不存在单方面说或听的情况。
在锻炼听力和口语时,我基本上都以知名英语新闻媒体的视听资源、英美剧和英语电影为主要素材,用不同的方法进行练习。
一、多读阅读可以分为2种。
一是“无声阅读”。
每天给你一个好的时间来提高你的阅读速度,阅读内容可以是你的课本,但最好是有点有趣的读物。
因为现在高考已经越来越重视阅读和阅读速度。
每一个问题的得分都与你的理解有很多。
另一种是“朗读”,这是学习语言的必要途径。
二、多写有些学生总是抱怨时间紧,没有时间写作文。
事实上,“写”的形式很多,不必写一篇作文,提高写作能力。
比如在一些重要的事情上写下你的一天,或者一个短语的一天,你可以创建一个明智地使用这个词的上下文。
这将有助于你记住这个词的用法,你可以锻炼你的写作技巧。
三、多说自己创造的机会和英语老师讲英语,遇到了学生,特别是好朋友一起尝试用英语来迎接,谈感情,在这个时候你需要随身携带一本小字典翻译,当你遇到生词时要检查这些新单词,也不要刻意去记住,用更多的,这个词自然会记住。

There are three kinds of goals: short-term, medium-range and long-term goals.Short-term goals are those that usually deal with current activities, which we can apply on a daily basis. Such goals can be achieved in a week or less, or two weeks, or possibly, months. It should be remembered that just as a building is no stronger than its foundation, long-term goals cannot amount to very munch without the achievement of solid short-term goals. Upon completing our short-term goals, we should date the occasion and then add new short-term goals that will build on those that have been completed. The intermediate goals build on the foundation of the short-term goals. They might deal with just one term of school or the entire school year, or they could even extend for several years. Any time you move a step at a time, you should never allow yourself to become discouraged or overwhelmed. As you complete each step, you will enforce the belief in your ability to grow and succeed.And as your list of completion dates grow, your motivation and desire will increase.Long-term goals may be related to our dreams of the future. They might cover five years or more. Life is not a static thing. We should never allow a long-term goal to limit us or our course of action. Which of the following statements is wrong according to the passage? ______.The long-term goals cannot amount to very munch without achieving short-term goalsThe intermediate goals build on the foundation of the short-term goalsLife is a static thing, thus never allowing a long-term goal to limit usWe should often add new short-term goals to what have been completed本题分值: 4.0用户未作答标准答案:Life is a static thing, thus never allowing a long-term goal to limit us8.

If you’ll be taking vacation time in the coming year and plan on flying, here are some shopping tips to give your undivided attention to.When to buyIf you’re shopping for domestic flights, check prices on Tuesday afternoons. This is an old tip but still valid because most US carriers continue to release sales on Tuesday morning, and competitors quickly drop their fares to match the better deals.When to flyWeekdays continue to be generally cheaper times to fly than weekends for most flights. In the US specifically the cheapest days are typically Tuesday, Wednesday and Saturday. A good itinerary for the expensive US spring break travel period is Tuesday to Saturday; it won’t be cheap exactly, but it will save you money (in most cases) over weekend﹣to﹣weekend travel.Direct vs. connecting flightsCompare the price of direct with connecting fights. Sometimes adding a stop to your route will save you money, and it might be enough to endure the extra﹣long flying day. Some examples;Boston to Seattle : ﹩247 direct, ﹩234 one﹣stopSan Francisco to Raleigh/Durham: ﹩553 direct, ﹩362 one﹣stopOkay, the savings on Boston﹣Seattle might not be worth it to you, but I’ll bet you’ll think twice about the direct fight for San Francisco to Raleigh.Compare, compare, compare________ to go to your favorite airline site to purchase tickets without doing any comparison; it’s a recipe for disaster. Example: Let’s say you want to fly from New York to London and figure your favorite US legacy carrier will get you there for the best price.Airline price: ﹩554 round﹣tripComparison price: ﹩486Obviously, the legacy carrier did not have the cheapest flight, but wait, there’smore: The comparison site also showed a cheaper flight from the same legacy carrier (521USD).See what you’re missing when you fail to compare?(1)The best price for flights within the US could most possibly be found on________.A.Monday morning.B.Tuesday afternoon.C.Thursday morning.D.Sunday morning.(2)Ticket buyers are advised to________.A.choose direct flights rather than connecting ones.B.take the cheapest deal from their favorite airline.C.look for flight deals to Europe throughout the summer.D.avoid weekend﹣to﹣weekend flights in holiday seasons.(3)The underlined phrase “stifle the impulse” probably means “________.”A.feel free to do something.B.hold off on doing something.C.get well prepared for something.D.make quick decisions about something.【答案】BDB【考点】完形综合阅读理解综合【解析】本文是一篇广告布告类阅读,文章主要介绍了如果你打算在接下来的一年中休假并计划乘飞机旅行,这里有一些购物建议可以让你全神贯注.【解答】(1)B.细节理解题.根据“If you’re shopping for domestic flights, check prices on Tuesday afternoons”可知美国国内航班的最佳价格很可能在周二下午找到.故选B.(2)D.细节理解题.根据“In the US specifically the cheapest days are typically Tuesday,Wednesday and Saturday.

For a lot of people, getting a full night’s sleep is nothing more than just adream. Some of us climb into bed in the early evening, and the next thing we know, it’s 2in the morning and we’re sill staring at he ceiling.It’s common knowledge that sleep problems can be caused by things such as stress, anxiety, or even using a smart phone before bedtime. But recently, a team of researchers discovered that genes could also be a cause of sleepless nights.The scientists, from Rockefeller University in New York, US, found that delayed sleep phase disorder( DSPD, 睡眠时相延迟障碍), a condition that affects one’s slee ping patterns, is passed down via a mutated(突变的) gene. DSPD sufferers wake up laterand go to bed later than the average person. To come to their conclusion, the team studied a 46﹣year﹣old woman who is only usually able to fall asleep at 2 or 3 in the morning.It was discovered that the woman’s body produces the hormone that helps her sleep at night up to seven hours later than regular sleepers. The scientists found this was caused by a mutation in one of the woman’s genes,one that helps regulate the “body clock”.Some of the woman’s family members were also found to share the same mutation﹣and the same sleeping problems﹣leading the scientists to believe that sleep troubles are passed down through the generations.However, having this mutation d oesn’t mean you automatically have sleep problems. The team also found two people who had he mutation but reported no problems with their sleep.But while this is an interesting discovery, it offers no help to those who can’t fall asleep at night﹣although there are a few things you could try to help you sleep earlier.BBC journalist Michael Mosley produced a TV documentary in May in which he talkedabout his battle with insomnia(失眠) and the techniques he used.“I avoid social media for at least an hour before bed, I do mindfulness exercises, and if I wake up in the middle of the night, I read a book for an hour or so, ” he wrote in an article for the Radio Times.(1)What have scientists recently discovered about sleep problems?________A.Sleep problems can be a result of genetics.B.Stress and anxiety can cause sleep problems.C.Smart phones are the main cause of sleep problems nowadays.D.Sleep problems are more common among younger people.(2)What can we learn about the mutation of the gene related to sleep?________A.It will delay sleep for seven hours.B.It doesn’t necessarily cause sleep problems.C.It will be passed down to every future generation.D.It can be modified to help solve sleep problems.(3)What does Michael Mosley suggest doing before sleep to fight against insomnia?________A.Listening to light music.B.Reading interesting books.C.Keeping away from social media.D.Doing some outdoor exercises.(4)What’s the main purpose of the article?________A.To give advice on how to cure insomnia.B.To explain different reasons for sleep problems.C.To warn readers of the bad influences of sleeping late.D.To report the discovery of a genetic cause for sleep problems.【答案】ABCD【考点】阅读理解综合【解析】本文章主要向读者讲述了科学家的一种新的发现,一种影响睡眠质量和情况的基因问题,并对此进行了简单的介绍.【解答】(1)A.细节题.根据文章内容,But recently, a team of researchers discovered that genes could also be a cause of sleepless nights.最近的一项研究表明,基因也有可能造成睡眠问题.结合选项,故选A.(2)B.细节题.根据文章内容,However,having this mutation doesn’t mean you automatically have sleep problems.

《大学英语(1)》命题作业:
(1)作业名称:在外语学习中,如何正确认识英语的听说能力?如何有效实现?
作业要求:请阅读以下材料作答:
有很多这样的场景和例子:学习了多年英语的朋友去国外出差或参加国际学术会议,突然发现到达对方海关,在和对方工作人员进行简单交流的时候,竟然难以表述自己的想法!(请同学们注意,对方的海关工作人员是一个非学术地位的普通职位);当自己乘坐Taxi或Subway购票的时候,难以表述自己想去的目的地…。
这样现实的例子,在生活中不胜枚举。
其实,学英语有一个基本的方法,就是同学们一定不要忽视了基本的听说能力培养。
外语教学的目的不仅仅要增加英语学习者的阅读能力和语法分析能力,更重要的是要加强人类基本的交流能力——听与说。
1、以小论文格式完成。
2、表明核心观点并加以阐述。
3、字数控制在800-1000字。
(2)作业名称:在外语学习中,请结合自己的学习经历,谈谈“自主式”、“理解式”学习的重要性,写一篇心得论文。
作业要求:1、论文背景:自主学习是当今教育领域研究的一个热点问题。
作为重要的课程目标,自主学习被看成课程实施的一种重要手段而对之加以研究。
英语教学领域,自主学习被视为一种重要的教学方法,强调素质教育和理解式的教学前提。
在学习论领域,如何通过自主学习来克服其死记硬背的被动性,则被看成一种高水平的学习方式。
2、请结合自己多年的外语学习得失、成败经验来改善自己的学习方法,使自己如何成长为有效的学习者发表自己的观点。
