It is important because it contains a great of evidence about how people in asociety lived their everyday lives.2. The Garbage Project carried out by the University of Arizon. It studies thegarbage in city rubbish dumps to find evidence of the lifestyle of the local population. It started in 1973 in Tucson, but has now expanded to many other cities and has built a huge database of information on most aspects of modern American life.3. The garbage is sorted into a variety of categories (food items, dangerousmaterials, personal items etc.)4. This is because when there is shortage of something, people try to hoardlarge supplies of the item. They may bury too much. This frequently means that the item needs to be thrown away before it can be used---perhaps because of a shortage of storage space or because it starts to perish.5. There are two reasons for this. The first is that people do not want to beseen as wasteful when it comes to food. They think they throw away less food than they actually do. The other reason is that they know they should be eating less junk food and more healthy food, but in fact the evidence from the garbage is that they eat more junk food. They are not deliberately lying;they just have an inaccurate impression of their own eating habits.6. The Garbage Project can give a clear impression of how people live andbehave.Part B: true or false1. F2. F3. T4. F5. F6. TCorrections1. It was started in Arizona, but has now expanded to cover many otherAmerican cities and Mexico City as well.2. There are too many households in Tucson to collect from each and everyone. Therefore, only a sample of households had their rubbish collected.Also, there is no time specified in the text, it simply says“over a period of time‖.4.The passage does not specify the quantity of Mexican sugar found --- simply that was found in Tucson when there was a sugar shortage. There is no evidence that it tasted bad.5. The evidence shows that poor people buy smaller packets of food and not the larger economy packets (which more wealthy families bought). They may have wanted to buy the more economical larger packets but could not afford the larger outlay of money.Developing your skillsPart A: identifying purposes of readingSituation 1Your purpose in reading the text would be to gain a general overview of all respects of the project. The project itself would be the focus of your reading and other elements in the text would be skimmed through.Situation 2In this case, you would only focus on the sections of the text which outlined how the project was carried out---i.e. the methodology they used. You would have little interest in the other, more general, sections of the text. Even when the methodology is not directly stated, while reading you would be trying to interpret the methodology used.Situation 3In this case, you would not be directly interested in the project itself, but more in the findings of the project. You may not even want to mention the project in your article.Extending your vocabularyPart A: Antonyms and synonyms1. Rubbish, waste, junk, refuse.2. Discard.3. Junk food.4. Partially.5. Exotic.6.

A castle was a very strong building specially built to keep the people insidesafe and secure. The expression, therefore, means that the home is a place where the owner feels safe from the outside world and where the outside world cannot enter without his permission. He is protected and secure there.This is a very common expression used to describe the attitude of English peoples towards their homes. It may also link with ideas about privacy: many British people like to think of their home as being a private place which others can’t simply just walk into without permission; inside the family they can do as they wish, without being bothered by outsiders.2. One reason is that the house costs so much to buy that it makes goodsense to maintain it and even improve it as possible（both to make it wortheven more if it is sold and to improve the comfort and space if not）. The other reason is that the home is, in a way, a reflection of the owner. How the house looks to other people, tells them something about the person who owns it---therefore the owner wants to make sure it reflects a good image of his or her self. The better the house look, the better the owners feel about their status.3. It is a loan from a bank or other financial company that is used specifically tobuy a house. It is paid back through monthly payments (with interest) over a number of years---often over as many as 25 years.4. Before the industrial revolution, the home was much more than simply ahouse that you happened to be living in at that time. It had a history of family life, of ancestors, of relatives and probably of having the same neighbors for generations. After the industrial revolution, people have to move and the home became more of a place that you were living in at that time and many of the other traditions were lost.5. Trading up means buying a house that is relatively cheap, keeping it for afew years until its value has increased (and also the owner’s assets), and then selling it to buy a more expensive property. This process is repeated several times over, each property being more expensive than the one before.Trading up only works in times of inflation or progressive increases in property values; if prices were stable over many years, trading up would be unlikely to happen much.Developing your skillExtending your vocabulary Part A: Antonyms and synonymsPart B: Cloze passagetrend; spectacularly; compelling; milial; run down; bricks and mortar; outstrips Unit 8Understanding the textPart A: Sequencing1.

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.

江西高二高中语文期中考试带答案解析
江西高二高中语文期中考试班级:___________ 姓名：___________ 分数：___________一、现代文阅读1.阅读下面的文字，完成下面小题。
传统的艺术创作理论通常不以创意为中心，更加强调创作的技巧、素材等一些工具性问题。
而在创意写作视野中，创意是第一性，写作是第二性的。
创意写作学认为，创意最初从写作者的意识转化为笔端的文字，这个过程是“一度创意”。
一度创意是原生态(文字态、文案态)的创意，一部分是直接以文字的形式直接产业化的，另外一部分也无法以其原初的面目进入市场(如舞台剧本等)，还有相当一部分是无法产业化的(如很多没有市场的纯文学作品)。
“一度创意”常常并不以它本来的面目进入市场，它需要通过一定的转化，如转化为符合产业要求的创意形态(舞台剧、广告、电影等)。
这种转化，并不是对大众趣味的简单迎合或者样态的简单变化，而是一个再创意过程，我们称它为“二度创意”。
创意写作主张拓展文学领域，将文化创意产业的视角纳入其中，这样，创意写作学就将对“创意”的研究，拓展到了传统的艺术创作论之外，将其引申向产业态创意——“二度创意”。
传统的文学理论家伊瑟尔认为作者创作完成的文学文本是不完整的，其中充满了空白，这些空白，需要依靠读者的想象去完成。
而只有当读者填补了这些空白，一部文学作品才算真正地完成。
伊瑟尔的观点为我们研究文学创意的产业化提供了思路和理论基础：创意写作也将是作者、读者和消费者共同参与的结果，文学创意要进入市场，实现产业化，创作者必须充分重视消费者的参与地位。
文学正是因为其创意本质，才具有产业化可能。
产业化过程本质是“一度创意”向“二度创意”的转化，这才使得文学从文字态转化为影视、戏剧、摄影等形式，从而使文学能与市场经济更紧密结合，推动文化经济的发展；另一方面，文化创意产业的不断深入，又反过来促进文学创意的不断涌现。
文学创意离不开文化创意产业，文化创意产业非但不会扼杀文学，反而会使文学重获新生，更加繁荣。

The author seems to have some optimism about being fifty.● It is a reference to different perspectives, different attitudes of various ages to “age”.11.●People may think that being old is a misery, but having the years of experience old people help you to live your life in a better way. An alternative interpretation is that it is not simply the old age which makes old people feel miserable. It is the accumulation of their experiences which make them miserable. The second interpretation of a rather wry joke.●Perhaps either as a joke or as a serious (but pessimistic) comment of life, almost certainly made by an older person.● It could reflect a humorous, philosophical, non-serious view; or the opposite, a mournful cry.12.● Experience (“living long”) teaches us how to live well.● Again, perhaps it is more likely to be written than spoken.● Experience over many years is seen as blessings and benefits.13.● Enjoy your youth and make the most of the opportunities which come your way; then, when you are older, you don’t have any regrets that you wasted it.●An older person -----perhaps a parent ----to a younger people; the comment shows wry humor by suggesting that the main preoccupation older people in that they lament their lost youth.● He /She sees youth as priceless and not to be wasted.14.● The general, meaning is that people change as they grow older .the specific meaning of each stage depends on how people understand the metaphors of the animals (and this varies in different cultures). A likely Spanish interpretation is : at twenty people are concerned with their appearance ,at thirty they are brave , at forty they carry heavy burdens ,at fifty they twist and turn and can’t be trusted , at sixty they are loyal ,at seventy they are wise ,at eighty they are nothing .●As it’s rather long, it is more likely to be part of a written paper . Now it could be said by anybody au any stage but probably originally it was written by an older person.●Perhaps it reflects a cynical attitude to the way peopledevelop .perhaps students might here be asked to explain what each of the different creatures at the various stages of life represents in Chinese or other culture.15.● The tide “ebbs” (i.e. its strength and power is lessened) and human beings get older and become less strong. The tide returns as strong as ever and other people are young and their tide is rising.● Spoken or read in a poem.●Perhaps said by someone who, though he /she feels sad, can rationalize and see that there is no reason to be sad.Expanding your vocabulary1 breakthrough noun2 dramatically adverb3 dietary supplements noun4 extended verb5 passively adverb6 contracting noun(gerund)7 eternal adjective8 boosting noun(gerund)9 normally adverb10 controversial adjectiveFurther information● The child is the father of the manChildren grow up to become adults and what happens in childhood is vitally important because adults develop on the basis of their childhood. Just as a child inherits genetics from their parents, the stage of early childhood for an individual is the social “inheritance” of each adult -----this is the basis for the development of the rest of their life (when the child becomes “the man”). Parents have children who grow up; however, children also grow up to become parents, who have children in their turn who also become parents …●Bad is never good until worse happens.When something bad happens it is difficult to see anything good about it .But when something even worse happens, what we thought was bad before doesn’t look so bad after all .Of course, what is “worse”may also seem not so bad when something worse still happens! Our perceptions of what are bad or good events are relative to their events.●Everything changes except change itself.Change is in everything .Only the law that everything changes does not change. On the other hand, if everything changes this should include change itself (the nature of particular changes should change or even the very nature of change itself.) If change changes then this must include no change which would be a change from changing .If change does not change, then there is something to which the law of change does not apply ----which means that not everything changes.●All rules have exceptions, including this one.A rule is general statement .It may include everything in its scope or it may have its exceptions .The problem here is that if the rule is that “all rules have exceptions ” ,then there are exceptions to the rule that “all rules have exceptions ”: does this mean that the rule isn’t a rule or that the exception isn’t an exception or that the exception to the rule that “all rules have exceptions” means that there are no exceptions ,including the exceptions to the rule that “all rules have exceptions ”…?● A sadist is a person who is kind to a masochist.A sadist is someone who gets pleasure from hurting or being cruel to someone else. A masochist is someone who gets pleasure from being hurt. We expect the sadist to be nasty to others, including being nasty to the masochist. But the sadist knows that the masochist wants to be hurt, so being kind to the masochist (who expects to be hurt by the sadist) is a way for the sadist to get pleasure. The problem now is that the sadist is getting pleasure by not hurting someone (which means that the sadist isn’t being a sadist .)A second problem is that the masochist may be getting pleasure by anticipating being hurt (which he enjoys and looks forward to )and may therefore be getting pleasure from the kindness of the sadist (who as the masochist knows ,wants to hurt the masochist )because he anticipates being hurt by not being hurt yet (which means that the masochist isn’t being a masochist ).● Nothing is enough for the person to whom enough is too little .Some people are greedy .They want more than others .they want more than the amount which would satisfy others (and be enough for them ). So for the greedy person “enough” (for others) is always too little (for the greedy one ). So there is never “enough ”and “nothing is enough ”for the greedy person; this means there is no “enough ”.But the problem is that it may also mean that if greedy person has “nothing”. It is “enough” (because “nothing is enough”), in which case the person is not greedy and is, in fact, satisfied with nothing (since he has “nothing” which is “enough”).● If the rich could hire other people to die for them, the poor couldmake a wonderful living.Everybody die at some time .Rich people may wish to keep on living because they have lots of money to enjoy their life .So if the rich people could pay poor people to die for them ,then the rich people could keep on living for longer and keep on enjoying their life. The poor would make a living (i.e., earn money to live )by dying instead of the rich .Of course ,paying one poor person to die instead of therich person who is dying would not be enough because death is always waiting (for everybody, rich or poor),so the rich would have to keep on paying more and more poor people to die for them -----otherwise they can only postpone death for a short time .So now ,many poor people die(paid for by the rich )but the others who are still living get rich (keeping the money which their dead poor relatives received from the rich ). But these new rich people (who were poor before) will die ----unless they pay poor people to die for them. If they do so, the poor relatives of those poor ones who die for the new rich will themselves eventually become rich and will need to pay other poor people to die for them if they wish to keep on living.Unit 5Understanding the text1.d)2.● Exercise● Diet● Self-discipline● Sleep3. a 8b 2c 7d 4e 9Developing your skillPart Ait(pronoun)this(pronoun)they(pronoun)such pensionable oldies(wordsubjection)Part B2. couple (ws: a man and a woman)3.

Therefore, vaccinations must have been developed in the 10th century.●False teeth were developed by unknown Etruscans(ancient Italians)This is obviously one of the two developments and they probably did this in 700 B.C. because the Etruscans were an ancient civilization.●Vaccinations were developed by a Chinese.The Chinese developed vaccinations in the 10th century and therefore the developer is one of the three unknowns.With your partner discuss:● ----Aspirin might be the most widely used because it is available inthe supermarket; it is inexpensive and is used in many common less serious medical conditions.-----Glasses are also very widely used .however, not all of population suffers from visual problems. Vaccinations are also widely used but require a specialist to administer them. What’s more, many vaccines only need administering once in a lifetime.-----The EEC would also be widely used in western countries where technology is readily available and heart disease more prevalent but it would be mainly used with older parties.-----False limbs might be the least frequently used as their application is very specific to amputees and those with congenital deformities .These days doctors try to avoid amputation if possible and birth defects are less frequent aswell .However, they are very important in those countries where there are wars , especially where there are landmines .● Perhaps vaccinations because they prevent simple disease frombecoming fatal epidemic. We tend to take them for granted.● Before the age of the printing press, there were fewer historicalrecords and literacy was not as common. Much information about ancientcivilizations still remains a mystery.●“necessity is the mother of invention.”The developers must have beenin critical need of the medical breakthroughs.

AIn April this year, lots of bags full of small change(零钱) were seen at bus stops in Tianjin. They were made for passengers to turn their notes into small change. And such an idea came from four students from Zhongbei Middle School, Tianjin.“People will surely feel worried when they take a bus without coins. We just want to do something to help them,” said Wang Yongcun, 15, one of the four students.The four boys spent their whole weekend making the change bags. After that they went to see the number of the passengers at each bus stop near their school, and then chose the top six stops to put the bags.Many people think that the four boys have really done a good job. But, things didn’t go as the boys thought. Two days later, they found that the money was gone, and that even the bags were taken. It really made them sad but they would not give up. Their classmates and teachers came to help them in time. They put their pocket money in bags again. And the teachers also taught them to make better change bags.

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。

大学英语创意阅读Unit1Unit10翻译Unit1终身难忘的假期旅游不管我们身在何处，无论我们在做什么，我们身边都包绕着广告。
有些广告是有用的--------能告诉我们当前新产品的信息，哪儿物美价廉。
制造商利用广告来推销产品，不然生意将会做不成。
其实，曾经有人说过：“商人们赚到大笔大笔的钞票得益于广告的功劳。
”然而，现在的广告是否太泛滥了？可以说广告的效应已经事与愿违，因为大量的广告是误导人的。
我们大多对广告视而不见。
或许大作家H.G.Wells更确切地道出了其中的真谛：“广告是合法化了的谎言。
”请让我举一个我认为是绝好的亲身经历的例子，我当时想找一个好的地方带我的家人去度假。
我查找旅游指南，并自认为找到了一个十全十美的假日。
广告打的招牌是“终生难忘之旅”。
