The writer is glad to see that the workdone by Edinburgh University is fruitful, but he also thinks that this is not enough and more effort has to be made.Expanding your creativity●Most ghost stories are based in castles or churches because theyare old and many people have died in them. Graveyards are alsogood settings for ghost stories(Michael Jackson‘s ―Thriller‖ videois a good example, where ghosts and ghouls come out of thegraves and dance with him). A good idea could be where a newhouse has been built to replace an old one which has been pulleddown; the ghost is unhappy because its house has been destroyed.Another starting point could be a ―séance‖ or a game with a Ouijaboard, with letters around the table. People place their fingers on aglass which moves around the letters to spell a message from‖beyond‖. People who have done this always say they have not―pushed‖the glass and that it moves ―on its own‖.●Indeed , the thunder and violence seem to be the reason for anyscary bit of a film being shown in a storm! Perhaps the reducedvisibility could be another reason –if you can‘t see clearly, youcan imagine things that you have seen! You could try to encourage students to envisage a ghost story in other climatic conditions.●Usually at night and in the winter. Ghosts seem to be associatedwith coldness and people often say, when they have had paranormal experiences, that they feel cold. Again, try to encourage students to be different.● A single event will need to be placed in an historical context toexplain why the ghost has ―come back‖ from the dead. Also , one single event could be explained ―normally‖ so perhaps a series of encounters may be better.●Usually old characters, with a violent history, but this could justbe because more old people die! Students could try to compose a story with a young ghost, for a change.●Quite a few films have used friendly ghosts, and these are usuallyfunny films. Whoop Goldberg in Ghost is one example, where the man becomes a ghost after he is killed and comes back to help his girlfriend to solve his murder. Another example is The Sixth Sense with Bruce Willis. Ghosts often come back to help members of their family; these are not always scary.●One theme could be that ghosts, unlike in most ghost stories, canactually be nice and kind and not frightening or evil. Another theme could be that ghosts can be happy after their death, and thatdying is not something to be scared of – a positive image of lifeafter death.●Old forms of language could help to show that the ghost died along time ago. Under hypnosis, some people have used forms of aforeign language that they couldn‘t possibly have known,although this is a different king of ―ghost ‘story as the ghost―lives‖ in the body of the person under hypnosis.●You could suggest a ghost of an animal—a dog, for instance. Theghost could have come back for a number of reasons: to helpsomebody, as mentioned before, or for revenge because of a deathcaused by somebody else who is still alive. Then ghost could haveforgotten something and needs it for life in his \her new world.●There is not any fixed principle. However, the generalunderstanding is that the story makes a makes a more lastingimpression on the audience if there is a surprise ending.●The story will leave a sense of mystery if it involves elementswhich cannot be explained, and this will make a lastingimpression on the audience.Unit 10Words to note: 24, 8, 13, 18, 22, 4, 1, 20, 10, 16, 2, 6, 23, 3, 21, 5, 19, 12, 9, 15, 17, 14, 7, 11.Understanding the textPart A:Story one1.----he had left his trusted hunting dog to guard him.2.----he could not see his son and the dog‘s face and mouth werecovered in blood.3.----he saw his son safe and sound and the body of a great grey wolfnearby.Story two4. ----tourists would come to see the stones and would need somewhere to stay.5. ----his plan was very clever and designed to trick people.Story three6. ----they insisted that the king‘s choice would not be accepted if he chose one who spoke English, and therefore they thought the king would have to choose a Welshman.7. ----the king chose his baby son who, although he was an English, could not speak any language, and therefore could not speak English.Part B: InterpretingDeveloping your skills Part A:Part B:Answer:1.Maldwyn left his trusted hunting dog to look after his beloved sonwhile he went hunting.2.Strong hunter, unthinking but not necessarily stupid, man of action notthoughts.3.He loved his dog and trusted him.4.He was relieved that his son was not dead but very sad that he hadkilled his dog.In pairs, discuss:1.There are no fixed answers.

《创新设计》2021届高考语文二轮复习(全国通用)训练 第一部分 现代文阅读(三) 专题二 (1)
考点归类，对点模拟练力量散文阅读(一)一、阅读下面的文字，完成1～3题。
幸会，妈妈张春我妈年轻的时候是一名会计，在食品站工作。
那个年月的屠夫看不起坐办公室的，男人看不起女人，双重卑视。
我妈妈不服，就学会了杀猪。
一个二十来岁的女孩，穿着黑色的皮围裙，按倒一头猪，手起刀落，干脆利落。
后来我妈走到哪儿，那帮屠夫叔叔们就跟到哪儿。
她的本职业务也顶呱呱，现在已经60多岁，对数字照旧格外敏感，心算精确到个位数。
我们小时候爱吃手指，把手指甲都啃坏了。
她就给我和哥哥在胸前吊了一粒甘草片。
由于甘草片比手指头好吃，我们就不吃手指头了。
我4岁的时候，看到其他小孩子在高楼外的屋檐上追跑嬉闹，也想跟上去。
妈妈没有打我骂我，而是去买了一个大西瓜，带我们站到那个楼顶上，瞅着下面没人，把西瓜扔了下去，然后说：“你们看，摔下去就是这个样子！”还有一次，在家里看电视剧《哪吒闹海》，看到哪吒自杀的时候，我一边难过地大哭，一边去上学。
走出好远，后边远远传来妈妈的声音，她边喊边跑：“哪吒没有死——被他师父救活了——不要哭了！”她起码追了200米。
我不到8岁的时候，妈妈就和我说，不要让男人和你太亲热，更不要让男人碰你。
洗澡上厕所，就算是爸爸、哥哥也不能看。
上学校四班级时，一次我和另外两个小女孩走在路上，一个20多岁的男人来和我们说话，然后挨个儿抱我们，说要掂掂有多重。
我看到他抱起一个女孩，撩起了她的衣服，突然觉得不对，大喊一声：快跑！——很难想象，假如没有妈妈的早期训练，当时会发生什么事。
我学校的时候第一次收到情书，格外忧心，摸索地拿给妈妈看。
妈妈认真地看完，然后笑眯眯地叠起来还给我，说：“青春真好，还有人给你写这样的信。
”我后来听说很多女孩子不再对妈妈说心事，就是从第一封类似的书信开头的，而我却松了一口气，好像今后没有什么事不能和妈妈说的了。
但我们之间也不都是奇特时间。
青春叛逆期，我也跟她吵过，说：“等我长大了，还了你们的钱，我就再也不欠你们的了！”妈妈缄默良久，叹了口气，说：“我们大人有时也心情不好，你看看《还珠格格》里的小燕子，总是逗阿玛兴奋，你就不能也哄哄我吗？”小时候上学，爸妈很少接送我，下雨也一样。
创意村长阅读答案.doc
创意村长阅读答案上鄂村近年来养殖业发展喜人，鸡鸭猪羊成群，可那些来村里的家禽贩子把价格压得很低，村长榆树决定带着大伙儿直接运到城里去卖。
这天榆树带着七八个人，开着几台装满家禽的拖拉机隆隆响地进城来了。
结果刚到城边上，就被交警拦下了，说拖拉机不准进城。
榆树说，我们这叫自产自销，比家禽贩子的便宜，让城里人买到更便宜的鸡呀羊的不好吗？怎么说都是好事呀！可任凭他讲了多少好话交警也不放行。
榆树又问驴马车行不行，交警说更不行，城里禁畜力车都多少年了，你们不知道？那么多的家禽，总不能挑着去呀。
榆树一急，让大伙儿把车停到郊区，自己去城里找一个在县政府工作的同学，看能否说说情。
榆树找到同学的单位，同学到市里开会去了。
这可怎么办？榆树烦闷地往回走。
在一个街边，他见很多人围成圈在看什么，挤进去一看，一个人趴在地上，一只公鸡站在他的头上。
一个人在旁边讲解说，这个艺术家表演的主题是“日出‘：接着又是一个人牵了一头羊上来，用一盆的油彩，猛地往羊身上一浇，羊被惊得跑了起来......讲解员说，这个艺术家表演的主题是“激情他还是不懂这是做什么的，问旁边的一个人，别人告诉他，这是行为艺术表演。
他问，在大街上这么做，没人管吗？别人说，行为艺术就是要在大街上表演的。
—路上榆树都在想，真是吃饱了撑的，像这样就叫艺术，那我们乡下到处都是艺术呢。
突然，他灵光一闪，心中有了主：£、0见榆树回来了，村民们都围上去问，找到人了吗？榆树说没有，回去，我们明天再来。
大伙儿说，没找到人，明天来还不是一样。
榆树诡谪一笑。
第二天，榆树又带着大伙儿，赶着几辆驴车进城来了。
猪一车，羊一车，鸡鸭一车，煞是壮观。
很多猪羊身上都涂了花花绿绿的颜色，最前面的驴车上面，有一个横幅：乡村行为艺术展。
就在这时，他们又看到那个交警了，前面赶驴车的刘二斤心里直打鼓，榆树在后面说，别担心，径直走。
果然，交警只是好奇地朝他们车子望了一眼，却没有过来阻拦。
顺利到了城里，榆树和村民们把驴车停到了马路边，人们见车上装着花花绿绿的猪羊，不知是干嘛的，争着围上来看。
创意阅读 第三册 翻译及答案
UNIT ONE 好的语言学习者要成为一名好的语言学习者需要多方面的因素。
这里说的“好的”并非指品行端正或彬彬有礼。
而是指“效率高”和“有效果”。
长期以来．语言学习方面自勺专家都认为教授语言的教师可以通过观察和分析好的语言学习者如何学习而得到许多收获。
教师们则认为如果他们能够将使一位好的语言学习者学习效率高的行为表现归纳出来，那么他们就能够将其告知那些不太成功的语言学习者?从而改进他们的学习。
那么。
好的语言学习者和一般的或者比较差的语言学习者在行为表现上有什么不同呢?顺便说一下。
你也许会觉得我们将要进行的讨论不仅可以用来区分好的和差的语言学习者。
而且也可以用来区分其他任何专业或技能的好学生与差学生。
首先，最值得注意的一个重要表现是好的语言学习者都具有创新精神，他们爱拿语言做实验。
他们的态度似乎是“我要试一试，看这种方法是否奏效，如果不行——也没关系——我总是可以重新试一试的”。
好的语言学习者试着把他们在课堂上学到的语言“碎片”(结构和一些词汇)融合在一起。
好的语言学习者对他们所学的语言和他们自己都显示出一种开放而且宽容的态度。
这样的学习者也乐于冒险。
如果要求他们在同学们面前讲新学的语言，他们会尽最大的努力去控制紧张情绪。
如果老师用了生词和新句型。
他们就会试着将以前所学的语言和这些新的内容联系起来。
换句话说，好的语言学习者能够在不太确定的条件下学习。
另一点和好的语言学习者的创造性和冒险精神息息相关的是他们能够意识到哪种具体的学习方法和技巧对自己行之有效。
例如，一些学习者喜欢用押韵和词语联想等技巧来记住所学内容，而另一些人则使用词汇笔记或写日记的办法．这些并不是老师要求他们做的，而是他们自己发现这些是行之有效的学习方法。
许多学习者讨厌犯错误。
他们觉得难堪，而且经常认为他们永远也学不会正确地使用这门语言。
好的语言学习者则不同。
他们不会因为犯错误而沮丧，相反地，他们会利用错误。
在学语言，甚至任何技术的过程中，犯错是很自然的，好的学习者将犯错视为学习过程中一个建设性的部分。
创意阅读B1(U1-16)
Unit1 馈赠的艺术驻芝加哥的美国商人约翰·罗杰斯对于拜访公司的中国供应商一事津津乐道。
“去年，我们公司给全世界的同行们赠送了一些漂亮的台式钟，每个钟上都有公司的名字。
对于此举，公司非常得意。
但我到上海时却发现中国同行们对这件礼物颇感不快。
在中国文化里，把钟作为礼物馈赠是极为不妥的。
原因是送钟这个词和送终（即死亡）在汉语里发音相同。
它象征着双方关系的终止。
”这个故事说明，了解世界各地正确的馈赠行为在今天是多么重要。
罗杰斯说：“礼物是与客户建立牢固关系的重要手段。
”商业常常取决于个人关系，而个人关系则建立在信任和象征信任的一件礼物之上。
不恰当的礼物会使关系恶化。
以下各例均属于不恰当的礼物：●将葡萄酒、威士忌或其他酒精饮料送给穆斯林。
由于其宗教禁止饮用含酒精的饮料，给穆斯林送这些礼物是非常无礼的。
●在日本、韩国和中国文化里，带有4或数量为4的物品是不吉利的。
另外，13这个数字在东亚也最好避免。
●刀和剪。
在拉丁美洲和亚洲，刀、剪意味着断绝关系。
送刀即表示大家已不再是朋友了。
●在亚洲，像花这种浪漫的礼物也可能传递错误的信息，因此也应避免。
另外，一些花具有特殊含义。
比如在欧洲，菊花只用于葬礼。
在有的国家，送花通常要送偶数，而另一些国家则要送奇数。
●将皮革制品送给印第安人。
很多印第安人是印度教徒——他们所奉行的宗教认为牛应受到尊敬。
●在有的地方，比如日本，送手帕是可行的。
但在其他一些地方，手帕则可能象征着悲痛或死亡。
当然，并非每个人都会对这些礼物感到不快。
年轻人可能不迷信。
若有人赠送刀或钟，只要意识到对方是有诚意的，他们也会很高兴地接受。
但他们自己就不大可能把这种礼物送给长辈了。
那么，什么样的礼物才是恰当而考虑周到的呢？罗杰斯说：“任何一件你所在国家的东西，而在别处却难以得到，都会是不错的礼物。
”比如，加拿大枫蜜或一小袋优质的夏威夷菠萝都是令人喜爱的。
一旦了解了某人，送礼还应该尽量投其所好。
比如说，如果你的合作伙伴爱好足球，那为什么不送他最喜欢的球队的球衣呢？但是要记住，男士送衣物给女士很可能显得过度亲密，暗示不恰当的关系了。
九年级语文儿子的创意阅读训练题
九年级语文儿子的创意阅读训练题儿子在家里乱翻我的杂志，突然说：“我准备到日本旅游一次。
”因为他经常异想天开，我置之不理。
他说：“咦，你为什么不表态?难道不觉得我很勇敢吗?”我说：“是啊是啊，很勇敢。
可世上有些事并不单是勇敢就够用。
比如这件事吧，还得有钱。
”他很郑重地说：“这上面写着，举办一个有关宗教博物馆建筑的创意征文比赛。
金牌获得者，免费到日本观光旅游。
”说着，把一本海外刊物递给我。
我看也不看地说：“关于宗教，你懂得多少?关于建筑，你懂得多少?金牌银牌历来都只有一块，多么激烈的争夺。
你还是好好做功课吧。
”他毫不气馁地说：“可是我有创意啊，比如这个博物馆里可以点燃藏香，给人一种浓郁的宗教气氛。
比如这个博物馆里可以卖斋饭，让参观的人色香味立体地感受宗教。
比如这个博物馆里可以播放佛教音乐，您从少林寺带回的药师菩萨曲，听的时候就让人感到很宁静。
比如……”我打断他说：“别比如了，人家征的是建筑创意，要像悉尼的贝壳壮大歌剧院，有独特的风格。
我记得你小时候连积木都搭不好，还侈谈什么建筑!”十几岁的儿子好脾气，不理睬我的挖苦，自语道：“在地面挖一个巨大的深坑，就要100米吧，然后把这个博物馆盖在底下……”我说：“噢，那不成了地下宫殿?”儿子不理我，遐想着说：“博物馆和大地粗糙的岩石泥土间要留有空隙，再用透明的建筑材料砌成外墙，这样参观的人们时时刻刻会感到土地的存在，产生一种神秘感。
从底下向阳光明媚的地面攀升，会有人的自豪感。
地面部分设计成螺旋状的飞梯，象征着人类将向宇宙探索……”他在空中比划了一个上大下小的图形。
我不客气地打断他：“挖到地下那么深的地方，会有矿泉水涌出来，积成一个火山口样的湖泊。
你想过没有?再说什么样的建筑材料，可以长久地保持你所要求的透明度?还有你设计螺旋状的飞梯，多么危险!反正我是不敢上这种喇叭型梯子的。
还有……”儿子摆摆手说：“妈妈，您说的问题都是问题。
不过那是工程师们需要解决的问题，不关我的创意。

Unit 1 AdvertisingPart A: Comprehending the text1.to inform us of new products or good bargains/help producers to sell their products.… we are exposed to too much advertising now and so much of it is misleading, so many people now ignore it.2.visit some of the attractions of the island, including a trip to an ancient cavern//study thefascinating sea creatures of that area.… use the hotel swimming pool/paddling pool or play on the mini-golf course; visit the less adventurous places of interest ( in an air-conditioned vehicle) such as a local lake.… around Lake Tali.… the accommodation “units”.… the resort is new and the owners claim to be more interested in making the guests happy than making money.3. small, bare, exposed rock in the middle of the ocean.… dangerous because of the many sharks.… there is no water in it.… it is too small and too shallow for the stories to be true.… Bantu Island is a long way away so the money will be traveling further. The expression is not being used in its usual meaning of money lasting longer as things are so cheap.4. to be very careful when reading advertisements and always try to check the information froman independent source before you buy whatever is being advertised.Part C Interpreting the text1.The writer is trying to say that advertising is often very misleading and, in some cases,“legalized lying”. The advertising brochure for Bantu Island is obviously very misleading --- and, although nothing it says is actually a lie, it could be argued that it does not represent the truth.2.Because once they got to the island and saw what it was like, they would not want to go onany tours.3.No, it was very carefully worded so that it would be difficult to prove it told any lies ----simply did not tell the whole truth or misled the reader in different ways. For example, the resort does have a swimming pool (and even a paddling pool) --- it does not actually say that they don’t have any water; it does say that sea creatures abound, it does not say that are sharks, etc.4.We should look carefully at things that seem attractive (and cheap). There is often a problemthat is not obvious. This might also apply to other things, such as a motor vehicle, a new apartment, “special offers” on CDs, books, etc.Developing your skillsBrochure Newspaper______________________________________________________________________________A Once in a Lifetime Holiday A “Never-To-Repeated” Holiday(This means sth very special – so (This means it only happens once because Layout special it cannot ever be repeated.) it was so bad you would never do it again.)A Holiday for All the Family A “Holiday” for Nobody_______________________________________________________________________________ sea creatures sharksbrand-new half-builtcooled blastedrare They don’t existIt omits any details of the size, etc.Choices of of the attractions (e.g. Lake Tali).Information No mention of having to wash ina small stream (i.e. no plumbingor washing facilities in the hotel)._______________________________________________________________________________ … you won’t have a penny more A “Holiday” for Nobody --- the invertedto pay! --- The exclamation mark is commas indicate that the writer feels thesupposed to show the reader what a word “Holiday” is not the correct word.wonderful deal she/he is getting with The “ Beauties of Bantu Island” --- againthe holiday. The inverted commas suggest that “Beauties”does not describe the reality of the Island.“ Air-conditioned”, “back-to-nature”, Punctuation “resort”, “lake”, etc. All these show thatthe writer does not feel the words are beingused with their usual meaning andconnotations._______________________________________________________________________________填空：(Page 10 )Come and eat at the Luxurious and Relaxing “French Kitchen”Enjoy the wonderful selection of tempting dishes from our extensive menu.The magnificent view over the ocean will make it an evening to remember/cherish.Our highly-trained/professional/friendly and experienced/ knowledgeable/polite staff will be delighted/pleased/thrilled to look after your every need and the reasonable/inexpensive prices will pleasantly surprise you.Don’t delay/wait.

Unfortunately/Regrettably,I can honestly/truthfully/really say that I was very displeased by mydecision.To enjoy the“magnificent view” of the ocean, you would need to lean at least a meter out of the window and peer round the building next door.

T4.T5. T6.T7. F8. FPart B: Interpreting the textAnswer the following as fully as possible.1.These exams “decide their future” and the penalties for failure are “final”. Also look at speechparagraph 6 --- the “threat of being a failure for life”is perhaps even worse than a death sentence.2.The labour market does not urgently need “newly qualified people”, there is no “hurry”; thesituation is not critical.3.to compare the large number of lessons (“17,745) with the tiny result(“how little I knew at theend…”) and also to say that “40-minute pieces of learning” and “little pieces of geography or history or biology” do not really add up to any substantial body of knowledge. Perhaps, too, the writer wants to show that mere statistics (“17,745 lessons do not really prove that the results are good.4.The word suggests an unpleasant experience. The writer was, when a child, the subject---andthe education system was the “boss” the results of the child’s subjection were not good. Also look at speech paragraph 8 again: the system “can never be called efficient”; it simply helps the administrators and the bureaucrats.Developing your skillsPart A: Using reference markers1. c2. b3. c4. aPart B: Using discourse markersFor each of the following, fill in the gaps by choosing ……1.However/Yet; showing contrast2.on the whole / in general/ generally speaking/ overall; generalizing3.except/ except for/ with the exception of; introducing exceptions4.as for/ as regards; focusing attention5.so/ and so/ so now; showing logical sequenceExtending your vocabularyPart A: Words to note1. carefree2. intolerable3. receptive4. compulsory5. severe6. motivated7. applied8. franticallyPart B: Expressions1-----regardless of 2. ----- how much 3. ------ certainly4. ------must5. ----- help to ruin6. ------ frequently7.------ result。
