Unit 1Key to ExercisesPart I Pre-Reading TaskScript for the recording:Ways of learning is the topic of this unit. It is also the topic of the song you are about to listen to, called Teach Your Children sung by Crosby, Stills and Nash.Teach Your ChildrenCrosby, Stills and NashYou, who are on the road,Must nave a code that you can live by.And so, become yourselr,Because the past is just a goodbye.Teach your cbildren well,Their lather's hell did slowly go by.And reed them on your dreams,The one they picks, the one you'll mow by.Don't you ever ash them why, ir they told you, you will cry, So just look at them and sigh and know they love you.Appendix I - 93 -And you, oi tender years,Can't know the rears that your elders grew by.Ana so please help them with your youtb,They seek the truth before tbey can die.Teacb your parents well,Tbeir children's bell will slowly go by.And reed them on your dreams,Tbe one tbey picks, tbe one you'll know by.Don t you ever ask them why, ir tbey told you, you will cry, So just look at them and sigh and know tbey love you.The first part of die song is about how parents can inspire their children through sharing with them their dreams, their hopes for a better life. It starts with advice on how you need a set of rules, "a code diat you can live by," to guide you on the road of life. Only then will you be able to fully realise all that is within you and "become yourself." Therefore, parents need to teach their children well.And children — "you of tender years" — also have something to teach their parents, for learning is not a one-way street. Children should share their own dreams with their parents so that young and old can get to understand each otiier better.That said, one should not go too far. For some things are perhaps better left unsaid between parents and children. "Don't you ever ask them why, if they told you, you will cry." At such moments all that there is left to do is to look at one another and sigh, happy in each otiier's love.Part II Text A Text Organization1. 1) The text begins with an anecdote/incident.2) His thoughts are mainly about different approaches to learning in China and the West.3) He winds up the text with a suggestion in die form of a question.Points forComparison/ContrastChinese Americans1) ways to learn to accomplish a task show a child how to dosomething, or teach byholding his handteach children thatthey should rely onthemselves forsolutions to problems2) attitudes to creativity and skills give greater priorityto developing skillsat an early age,put more emphasis onfostering creativityin young children,believing creativity can be promoted over time thinking skills can be picked up later1.

Rewrite each sentence1) There is a striking contrast between the standard of living in the north of the country and the south.2) Natural fiber is said to be superior to synthetic fiber.3) The city's importance as a financial center has evolved slowly.4) His nationality is not relevant to whether he is a good lawyer.5) The poems by a little-known sixteenth-century Italian poet have found their way into some English magazines.3. 1) Chinese isn't a subject that can be picked up in a month. You can't accomplish your goal of mastering the language unless you work at it for years. Well, it sounds as ifI'm exaggerating the difficulties, but the fact is I'm only telling the truth.2) The principal is somewhat disappointed with the performance of the children. From what she has gathered, some of the teaching staff have neglected their pupils. She has just announced that strict work regulations have been made and that they applyto both Chinese and overseas teachers.3) The teacher-directed and the child-directed approaches to teaching art represent two extremes of opinion. Too many teacher-directed activities cannot be expected to effectively assist children in learning because of the rigid structure. On the other hand, too many child-directed activities may see a curriculum that is totally unstructured and out of control. There are valid reasons to believe a teacher-guided approach would be a superior way to guide children's development. This approach combines some form of structure with the child leading the direction.II.

Besides, learning by heart as many well-written essays as possible is also very important. Without an enormous store of good English writing in your head you cannot express yourself freely in English. It is also helpful to summarize our experience as we go along, for in so doing, we can figure out which way of learning is more effective and will produce the most desirable result. As long as we keep working hard on it, we will in due course accomplish the task of mastering English.U2Text AA Life Full of RichesI. Vocabulary1.

It is ironic that after so much cultural progress, women were still at a disadvantage in institutions of higher education. When her request for more lab space was refused, she knew she had to fight.

The fight ended in victory and Nancy was converted into a gender-equity advocate.Unit 7 Learning about EnglishText A The Glorious Messiness of EnglishI. Vocabulary1.

Translate the passageThough how the English language came into existence remains a mystery to many people, linguists believe that English and most other European languages have descended from a common source: the Indo-European parent language. English was first spoken by the Anglo-Saxons who invaded England in the fifth century. They passed onto us the basic vocabulary of English. In over fifteen centuries of its development, English has enriched itself by massive borrowing. As British immigrants landed in America and established the United States as an independent nation, a new variety was added to the English language: American English. Though some people worry that the language is running out of control, many native speakers of English take pride in the tolerance of their language.。

大学英语第二册第8课课文及课后答案
⼤学英语第⼆册第8课课⽂及课后答案UNIT 8诚实：它将离开时尚？-以往考虑过考试中的做弊吗？当然没有。
但⼀些学⽣并不那么诚实......作者：斯泰茜娅·罗宾斯按照最近的⼀次民意测验，61%的美国⾼中学⽣承认在考试时⾄少做弊⼀次。
它被争论如此⼀个反馈并不意味着多少。
毕竟，最多的学⽣已经⾯对窥视邻近考试卷的诱惑。
并且学⽣⼏乎不能⾃主地判断如此的⾏为。
不管怎样，有其他的显⽰⾼中做弊⾏为可能是在上升。
越来越多的州要求学⽣通过能⼒测试为了接收他们的⾼中⽂凭。
许多教育者担⼼在州测试的习惯中的⼀个增长将导致做弊⾏为的相应增长。
⼀个适合的例⼦是纽约州的学⽣受到犯有轻罪的指控，即拥⽤并出售州董事考试的⾼级拷贝。
做弊现在被认为是⼤专院校的主要问题。
⼏名教授说他们已经放弃了传统的答题纸的需求因为许多学⽣购买事先写好的答题纸，并且他们不能搜寻到更多的做弊者。
这个国家的⼤专院校已经决定不只是光谈论学⽣做弊的上升还要采取⾏动。
例如，迈阿密⼤学的⼼理学系发动了⼀场停⽌做弊形成的运动。
当409名学⽣列队离开他们的考场时，他们发现除了⼀个以外所有的出⼝都被锁住了。
监考⼈要求每个学⽣出⽰⼀张附有照⽚的ID卡。
那些说将ID卡留在宿舍或家⾥的学⽣被拍了⾯部照⽚。
这个运动的⽬的是要抓那些来为别⼈考试的"替考⼈"学⽣。
迈阿密⼤学的⼤多数学⽣赞成这个运动。
这所⼤学的报纸社论说，"像警察逮捕违法超速驾驶者⼀样，这个⽬的不是要抓每⼀个⼈⽽是能够概括这个词的⼈。
"我们经常听到"过去的好时代"的话，那⾥美国⼈更好，更幸福，更诚实。
但是他们更诚实吗？也许是吧，长时间以前⽣活是很不同于今天的样⼦的。
学校的孩⼦习惯于知道亚伯拉罕·林肯怎样⾛了5公⾥返还⼀便⼠因为他对⼀位顾客要价⾼了些。
这是我们知道的像神话⼀样好的故事。
但在林肯的情形中，这个故事是真实的......不像乔治·华盛顿与樱桃树的故事那样。
新视野大学英语视听说教程2原文及答案Unit8
II. Listening SkillsTo keep our children safe from those dangerous criminals, these tips might be helpful. First, children should be encouraged always to ask permission from their caregiver before they go anywhere .They should not only tell the care giver where they will be at all times, but also who will be looking after them. also, children should never walk or ride their bikes alone. Instead, they should travel in groups whenever possible. more importantly, children should be taught to stay away from strangers, though they may offer to show them a puppy or give them candy.children should be taught to say “no” and run, scream, or fight if necessary. moreover,children should be told that no problem is too big or too small to ask grown-ups. in fact,it is never too late to ask for help ,and to keep asking until they get the help they need. last but not least,we should realize that many child-attack cases involve a family member or family friend, for example, a stepfather, sister’s boyfriend, babysitter, neighbor, and so on.III. Listening InTask 1: Robbing the Left ShoeGirl: Yes, I’d like to report a mugging.Police Officer:Okay. can you tell me exactly what happened?Girl:well, I was walking home from work when this woman knocked me right off my right off my feet, seized my stuff, and ran off.

The “Bearded Woman” has struck Again!Girl: The “Bearded Woman”?Police Officer: Well, this “bearded Woman” is a man. He dresses up like a woman and, for some unknown reasons, likes to take the left shoe from his victims. He’s really harmless and usually returns the shoe to the crime scene acouple of days later.Girl: Hey, he can keep my shoe, and I’ll just take off my left shoe every time I walk through the park.1. F2. T3. F4. T 5 FTask 2: SmugglingA young man comes up to the border on his bicycle. He has two large bags over his shoulders. The border guard stops him and says,” What’s in the bags?”“Sand,” answers the young man.The guard is a bit suspicious and asks the young man to open the bags for inspection. The guard empties the bags, but finds nothing in them but sand. Then he has the sand analyzed, only to discover that there is noting but pure sand in the bags. So the young man is allowed to ride across the border with his sandbags.A week later, the same young man presents himself at the border with his bags. The guard asks,”What have you got?”“Sand,”says the young man.The guard does his thorough examination and discovers that the bags contain nothing but sand. He gives the sand back to the young man who then rides across the border on his bicycle with the sandbags.This happens every week for three years. Finally, the young man no longer appears at the border crossing. Many months go by and the border guard meets the young man in an expensive cafe.“Hey,” says the guard,” for three ears you were smuggling something through my crossing station. It’s driving me crazy. Just between you and me, what were you smuggling?” The young man drinks his coffee and says, “Bicycles.”1.

When the police arrived at the scene, hey found Pete’s dead body in his backyard, with man knife wounds and blood everywhere. The officer immediately went to question the three neighbors that had been outside in the past thirty minutes.Blake Smith had just finished painting his porch when the officer came. A young, polite man, Blake wiped his hands on his clean jeans before shaking hands, and said,” I really didn’t see or hear anything,” he added apologetically. Nelson Brown had been in his garden, right next door to the victim’s yard. He said,” I was in and out of the house. Weeding.” His hands were dirty. Then he added,” Inside, I was repairing a chair, It all must have happened when I was indoors. Sorry.”Kenny Green’s story seemed less believable.” I was on a ladder, washing my windows,” the middle-aged man admitted. The officer could see that Kenny’s yard overlooked the victim’s. But Kenny claimed,” I never looked over into Pete’s yard, nor did I hear anything.”Now the officer believed that one of the guys was lying. Who was this man?1.A2.B3.D4.C5.DIV.

And they broke all the glass.A: OK, an officer will come in about 20 minutes. Please don’t leave fingerprints anywhere.Model 3 We should create harsher sentences for bootleggers.Jane: It’s about time that the government got tough with bootleggers. Their fake liquors have already killed several people. Peter: Yeah, that’s too high a price to pay. It’s almost a rip-off. The bootleggers use industrial alcohol to cut costs and increase profits.Jane: Perhaps we should cut taxes on liquor. With lower taxes, bootlegging will decrease.Peter: But that can create a new problem. That’s not in agreement with the WTO rules.Jane: I think through negotiation with other nations, perhaps we can cut taxes under the WTO framework.Peter: That may be tough. Perhaps a better solution is to create harsher sentences for bootleggers.Jane: I agree. Our country needs a special team to deal with this problem. Then we can crack down on bootlegging. SAMPLE DIALOGA: It’s time the government took stricter standards control on cosmetic products. The low quality cosmetics have caused various skin diseases among users.B: Yeah, the producers use harmful ingredients to lower costs and add profits.A: Perhaps taxes on cosmetics should be cut. With lower taxes, low quality cosmetic products will be less profitable and decrease.B: But there is a new problem. Cutting taxes goes against the WTO rules.A: I think by negotiating with other countries we can reduce taxes.B: That may be hard. Maybe the best idea is to take stricter standards control on cosmetic products.A: I agree. We should have some regulations to keep a check on the production and marketing of cosmetic.V. Let’s TalkTexas Police Arrest Oldest Bank RobberTexas police say they have arrested a 90-yeard-old man, Henry Robert, who is accused of robbing a bank, probably making him the oldest bank robber in U.S. history.Police said Robert, who was not armed, asked a teller to put money into a large envelope with the word “robbery” written on it. A witness took down on the license number of his car, and he was arrested on a highway about 15 miles outside the city.If he is proved guilty, Robert will face from ten to twenty years in prison. He told police he needed the money, and he had a complaint against banks.Robert left a prison in Florida, where he was the oldest prisoner in the state, about a year ago. Before that, he served a three-year sentence for a bank robbery in Florida in 1999.In a prison interview with a journalist, Robert said he had been a businessman in Texas but had fallen on hard times. He said he robbed his first bank when he was about 80 because he wanted to revenge against banks.“A bank that I’d done business with had forced me into bankruptcy. I have never liked banks since,”he told the journalist.”I decided I would get even. And I have.”7 4 5 6 8 3 2 1Possible Retelling for the Teacher’s ReferenceAs the title suggests, the 90-year-old Henry Robert the Texas Police arrested may turn out to be the oldest bank robber in history. Let me describe him from the very beginning.When he was 80 years old he robbed his first bank in Florida because he wanted to get even with banks. For this robbery he received a three-year sentence in a Florida prison in 1999. A year ago he was set free. However, he continued with his outlaw career. In Texas, he robbed again, using an envelope labeled “Robbery”. He asked the teller to put money into the envelope. Unluckily for him, a witness took down the license number of his car that was parked outside. So he was arrested on a highway not far away from the city. He is now 90 years old, and therefore he is probably the oldest bank robber in American history. If proved guilty, he will be sentenced to ten to twenty years in prison.VI. Further Listening and SpeakingTask 1: Describing a RobberyDetective: Okay, Ms. Brown, just calm down. Could you start from the beginning and tell me what happened?Janet: Well, let’s see. I was sitting at the table near the window when two men rushed in and told everyone to freeze. Detective: Can you describe the man？Janet: One was tall and with a long coat on. The other was shorter in a red jacket.Detective: After they burst in what did they do?Janet: Well. The tall one pointed his gun at the clerk and told him to open the cash register. The short one was watching the rest of us. The clerk hesitated a minute and just then the restaurant manger came out of his office. That surprised the thieves.Detective: Yeah, let’s see… The manger’s name is Mr. Jackson. I guess he had the key to the safe?Janet: Yeah! That’s right! Because the thieves told him to open the safe. The short one went with him. As the manger turned to go back to the office, he told the clerk to cooperate with him.Detective: Did the boss open up the safe?Janet: Yeah, he went back into the office and opened it. He seemed pretty calm, not like the customers. I think that guy deserves a medal or something.Sam: You all do. Living through a robbery is a tough experience.1. everyone freeze2. tall long coat shorter red jacket3. his gun the clerk open the rest of the people4. key safe5. calm customers a medalTask 2: Two Concert TicketsAfter shopping for most of the day, a couple return to find their car has been stolen. They go to thepolice station to make a full report. Then, a police officer drives them back to the parking lot tosee if any evidence can be found at the scene of the crime. To their surprise, the car has beenreturned. There is an envelope on the windshield with a note of apology and two tickets to aconcert. The note reads, “I apologize for taking your car, but my wife was having a baby and Ihad to use your car to rush her to the hospital. Please forgive the inconvenience. Here are twotickets for tonight’s concert.” The couple feel relieved. After all, most human beings are kind, theythink. They go to the concert and return home late. They find their house has been robbed.Valuable goods have been taken. And there is a note on the door reading, “Well, you still haveyour car. I have to put my newly-born kid through college somehow, don’t I?”1. B2. C3.A4. D5. ATask 3: Who stole the vase?Amy, the richest woman in town, threw a party. It was crowded and turned out to be a hugesuccess, until about 12:00 a.m. That’s when Amy noticed that her valuable vase was missing fromthe entry hall table. When the police chief arrived, he asked each visitor to make a statement.Phillip McDonald stepped forward, saying, “I was one of the first to arrive, about the sane time asJulie Becker. I never once left the house. If people don’t remember me, it’s because I spent most oftime in a bedroom, watching a basketball game.” The chief took down what Phillip’s said, thentold him he could go. Rod Bush was the next. He also claimed that he had never left the house,though he did step out onto a second story balcony, but it was so cold that he came back inimmediately. Julie Becker was the third to make a statement She also claimed never to have left orseen anything. “I spent much of the party moving from group to group and eating the varioustables.” The chief told her to leave, too, and watched as she went into the hall and took her coatfrom the top of a crowded coat rack. Now the chief started to suspect one of the three guests.1.C2.D3.A4.B5.ASpeakingProtecting Intellectual Property RightsRichard: I understand why publishing houses have called for a crack down on illegal copies ofbooks. It’s a big loss for them if everyone buys pirated books instead of paying the fullprice.Nancy: I agree. If the publishers don’t take action against illegal publications, they and the authors of the books lose money. Then the publishers have to save money by loweringthe quality of their books.Richard: That’s why intellectual property rights have to be protected. It will do do good not only for the publishers, but to consumers as well.Nancy: You said it. I’m all for protecting intellectual property rights. But I also think books are getting more expensive every day, and some students have no choice but yo buy cheapbooks.Richard: I beg to disagree. There is no excuse for college kids to buy mobile phones and then say they can’t afford books.Nancy: But to really solve the piracy problem, we need cheaper books as well as harsherpunishments.。

Unit 8 Focus on Global WarmingText comprehensionI. AII. 1. T; 2. T; 3. F; 4. F; 5. F.III.1. Paragraph2. Because global warming may be the single largest threat to our planet（the earth）. Low-lying nations could be awash in seawater, rain and drought patterns across the world could change, hurricanes could become more frequent, and El Ninos could become more intense.2. Paragraph3. Our factories, power plants, and cars burn coal and gasoline and spit out carbon dioxide, produce methane by allowing our trash to decompose in landfills and by breeding large herds of methane-belching cattle, and release nitrogen oxide by using nitrogen-based fertilizers.3. Paragraph4. The increased concentrations of greenhouse gases prevent additional thermal radiation from leaving the Earth, so cause the global warming.4. Paragraph 7. A slight increase in heat and rain in equatorial regions would increase vector-borne带菌媒介引起的diseases such as malaria; more intense rains and hurricanes could cause more severe flooding and more deaths in coastal regions and along riverbeds; even a moderate rise in sea level could threaten the low-lying islands; hotter summers couldlead to more cases of heatstroke, hospital admissions and deaths among vulnerable people with heart problems or respiratory problems.5. Paragraph 8 and 10. We can curb our consumption of fossil fuels and use technologies to reduce the emission of heat-trapping gases like carbon二氧化碳 dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxides, and protect the forests in the world, and we can also advocate policies that will combat global warming over the long term, things like clean cars, environmentally responsible renewable energy technologies, and stopping the clear-cutting of valuable forests.IV.1. Global warming will probably be the most serious threat to our Earth, if we do not take into account of some other possible disasters, such as another world war, collision of our Earth with some small orbiting planet, or spread of incurable diseases.2. In terms of human health, the people of the poorer countries will suffer most, because their countries do not have money to protect them when climate changes.Structural analysisSub-ideas in the second part.1) the causes of the rising concentration of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere (Paragraphs 3 and 4)2) the effect of such concentration on climate change (Paragraphs 5 and 6)3) the potential threat of global warming to human health and survival (Paragraph 7)Part one.

TranslationIt is relatively more difficult to call for poorly educated people to conserve resources because they tend to view resources as nothing more than handy materials, which they can never overuse to the point to excess.

He became a children's doctor because of his love for children and his strong desire to keep them healthy.He is thought of having no moral compass: He tortures innocent animals for his career advancement and his experiments have nothing to do with medicine.The public barely watches, convinced that the issue has no significance to them, while the senators and politicians continue to give way to the lobbying of animal rights activists.The author does not really admit their mistake, but the tone is apparently ironic, criticizing that the physicians were too soft to respond to the animal rights activists.Life is cruel to both animals and human beings. If physicians don't create an animal model of the problem, they have to do experiments on human beings; or the medical knowledge will remain static.Drugs to cure infection will remain undiscovered, surgical and diagnostic techniques will remain undeveloped, and fundamental biological processes will remain mysteries.If the more radical members of this movement are successful in threatening further research, their efforts will bring about a tragedy that will cost the lives of many human beings.It helps diagnose disease.• It develops drugs to cure infection and disease.• It carries out complex surgical procedures.• It empl oys techniques to replace defective genes.• It stimulates development of synthetic organs.Participate in different animal rights activities.• Make public speeches at different social settings.• Write newspaper articles to condemn the inhuman animal research.• Launch an appeal on the Internet to arouse public concern for animal rights.It is too cruel and inhuman.• Animals should have equal rights as humans.• The research result may not apply to humansYes, because they are ethical and justified and the public will support the movement.• No, because they are misdirected and they even do something improper such as burning an animal laboratory.Yes, if animal research is abandoned, there will be almost no advances in medicine and it will cost many lives of human beings. As compared to animals, human beings are more valuable because they take many social responsibilities.1.The main task for the troop there is not fighting but (arresting) theprogress of the enemy army and waiting for reinforcements (援兵).2. He always anxiously summarizes the concessions which he has made buthe almost always (omits) to mention those offered by the other party.3.She was an excellent teacher, whose (optional) courses on women's writing were very popular among the students.4. It will be up to the doctor's judgment whether or not the organ can besuccessfully (transplanted) to the child who has been waiting for it.5.

Multinational corporations protested strongly against any unreasonable(interference) by some countries in the free marketplace.2.At the time a real threat of a(n) (invasion) of the British Isles existed, so the British troops were gathered around the coastline to get ready to fight against an invading fleet.(Consumption) is relatively low, and it shows that the economicproblem in the country stems from the dangerous side effects of careless politics and widespread poverty.4.The wedding (procession) was of an enormous size and enormoussplendor, which was started homeward and followed by a large banquet ata luxury hotel.5. When doing writing exercises for that English course, students shouldremember that they are writing according to (specific) structures.6.Among close family and good friends, (deception) is the worst part of life, and we believe in practicing good faith and honesty.7.Jobs are (scarce) at the moment, so you should be realistic in yourchoices about the pay, working hours, medical benefits, bonuses, etc.8.The writer was thinking about writing some kind of (thrillers) because it would help him become popular through making his plot more attractive to the young.The animal rights movement is a social movement which seeks an end to using animals in the research, food, clothing, and entertainment industries, (1)(hence) being called animal liberation. It advocates the idea that the most basic interests of non-human creatures should be (2)(afforded) the same consideration as those of human beings.Advocates (3)(lobby) for animal rights from different aspects, ranging from the focus on animal suffering in laboratories to the argument that (4) (insists) on not casting animals as properties of human beings. Despite the different approaches, advocates broadly (5)(consent) to the opinion that animals should be viewed as non-human members of the moral community and should be (6)(omitted) from being food, clothing, entertainment, orresearch subjects. The idea of (7)(awarding) rights to animals wins the support of several prominent scholars.However, some critics argue that animals are unable to enter into a social contract or moral (8)(compass) and for that reason cannot be granted rights. Only humans have duties and, therefore, only humans have rights. There is nothing wrong or (9)(evil) about using animals as resources so long as there is no unnecessary suffering. From within the animal rights movement itself, there has also been (10)(criticism) of certain forms of animal rights activism, in particular the destruction of fur farms and animal laboratories..Some people have (persisted in) a traditional view that languagelearning is essentially the same as the learning of grammar or language rules.2. Regular review of the teaching material in school ensures that the coursesprovided (have relevance to) the workplace and what students will do in the future.3. Job opportunities are expanding rapidly, and more and more people are(becoming aware of) online chances that allow them to work at home.4.They have put old women in nursing "homes", (isolated from) human warmth and contact, and then complained that they had lost their mental abilities.5.Some organizations are exploiting local people (in the name of)scientific research: They are collecting genetic material for commercial purposes.6.Day care centers for the elderly (make a contribution) to overall public service; they did a lot to make the life of the old active, valuable andmeaningful.7.The policeman has (been occupied with) extra duties, so he would nothave the time either for answering questions or being interviewed.8.What the chairman said did not (tip the scales) much to his advantage;his statement can be only considered as a slim chance for gainingapproval.Many people will give some excuse not to keep a pet: They smell bad, they are messy, they are expensive, or I don't have enough time to take care of them. While most of these reasons sound plausible, there are some good reasons why you should keep a pet to have a positive life.First, pets can give you unconditional love and companionship. Pets make you always feel accepted and loved. They are always good listeners and respond to love, regardless of whether you are blind, deaf, ill or depressed. When coming home from a long, stressful day of school or work, you see a cute animal waiting for you in front of the door. You can't help but feel happy!In addition to companionship, pets can greatly increase your physical activity and improve your overall state of health. It is proven that a person who owns a pet is less likely to struggle with ailments and serious medical problems. Owning a pet can help people lower the blood pressure, fight loneliness, and conquer depression. Long walks with a dog also burn your calories! Undoubtedly, keeping pets makes you busier and leaves you more work to do. However, pets give you a sense of responsibility. If you do not care well enough for your pets, they will be ill or even die. Having a pet is a great way to learn the value of responsible ownership. You will discover that life is not just about you. Just like parenthood, owning a pet requires a lot of time and effort. After all, everyone should keep a pet because pets provide you with unconditional love, help you retain good health, and teach you to be responsible. Even though it sometimes means more work and unexpected trouble, it's worth our effort.世界自然基金会（WWF）是一个致力于有关保护、研究和修复环境议题的国际性非政府组织。

When you have finished with your mobile phone you will be able to 27 it in the garden or a plant pot and wait for it to flower.28 , a biodegradable (生物可降解的)mobile phone was introduced by scientists. It is hoped that the new type of phone will encourage 29 to recycle.Scientists have come up with a new material over the last five years. It looks like any other 30 and can be hard or soft. and able to change shape. Overtime it can also break down into the soil without giving out any toxic 31 . British researchers used the new material to develop a phone cover that contains a sunflower seed. When this new type of cover turns into waste, it 32 nitrates(硝酸盐).

Identify the paragraph from which the information isderived. You may choose a paragraph more than once. Each paragraph ismarked with a letter.Why I Became a Teacher: to Pass on My Love of LiteratureA) Like lots of people, I never thought I’d be a teacher when I was at school. To be honest l only did my training because my husband was on a four-year course and 1was on a three-year course at Cardiff University so I wanted to do something for one year. I thought doing a teaching qualification would be interesting and might be quite use full I'm convinced that nothing else I might have done would have given me so much pleasure and satisfaction, or fitted in so well with family life.B) When I retire, in just a few years’ time, I can look back on a career which made a positive difference to the lives of thousands of children. Few other career choices can be so rewarding, so if you have a love of your subject and want the opportunity to pass that on then teaching can be a great career.C) Anyone going into teaching now will be used to teaching to formal work schemes and observation. I think it has raised standards in the profession but personally I feel the loss in the classroom. I’ve got the confidence of 30 years’ experience. I’ve seen new approaches come and go (and sometime even identical “new ideas” come and go more than once).D) For me, it’s the passion for your subject and interest in the success of your students that matters more than how all the acronyms (首字母缩略词) add up. This is what will make you a good teacher. There's still room for individuals but you have to have the confidence and passion for your subject to make it work.E) The major challenge in teaching is time. There’s not enough of it. It's hard if you're working full time to cope with the marking and feel Eke you have enough time to do your job properly. I’ve worked part time ever since I had children. I officially work three days a week—trot on my two days off I always work, it probably all adds up to what counts as a full week’s work in most other jobs but the pay isn't bad so you can work part time and then the job really does fit in with family life. There are shortcuts to save time, and if had to work part time I’d have to use. them. But working part time gives me the luxury, to be a critical marker. It can take two hours to mark a 3,000-word A level essay, so if you have 16 pupils that’s 32 hours of marking in one week for just one class.F) One of the benefits of being a part-time teacher is that I do have time to mark properly. Sometimes my feedback is almost as long as their essay but 1 really want the kids to do well. One of the best things about teaching is you get to raise children's aspirations, and to make a difference in their lives. You get visits and emails from your old students to prove it! It's great to make the difference, and, as they say, it does make it all worthwhile.G ) The core of teaching is the subject and the pupils. We have a lot of NQTs and PGCE students coming to our school and sometimes I must admit to being disappointed when students don't know their subjects that well. I had an NQT who was teaching Animal Farm and asked me “What’s Marxism?”—and she’d got a first in her degree so it just goes to show that government initiatives to try and attract those with firsts aren't necessarily going work.H) However. lots of people drop out of teaching after a couple of years, it is an exhausting job. So my advice is:I) Don’t lose your sense of proportion over things that happen in the classroom or in an observation that doesn't go well. As long as in the bigger picture of things you are connecting with kids and the subject—then don’t get frustrated. Even after 30 years of teaching everyone has fearful days in teaching, he you think: “Can I really do this?” You’ve got to keep positive; it's only a problem if you gel mute bad days than good days.J) Make sure leaching doesn't overwhelm you. You have Io develop strategies especially if you are teaching a subject which requires a lot of marking. So plan things well. Get your pupils to do peer marking, which really can work. If you know you just can’t handle any more marking in a particular week, get pupils to write a speech and then perform it in the next class. You’ve got to think ahead about times of maximum workload and plan accordingly—ask your more experienced colleagues for advice K) You’ve got to keep your sense of burnout, which is a great way of relieving a situation. I know I became a better teacher when I became a parent. I realized that kids can be so unpleasant sometimes, even your own kids. They don’t mean it; they're just being kids. It doesn’t mean they bate you or hate your lessons, When you’re anew teacher coming into teaching, especially if you are young, you think of the students as almost your adversaries (对手), and you’ve got to defeat them. But you’ve got to be careful what you say. You can’t belittle them too much or you can really harm them.L) Love your subject. If you are going to succeed in secondary school leaching you must love your subject. The kids really know if you do or don’t.M) You have to know your students are individuals, they learn in different ways. You have to be sensitive to that.N ) You can’t just teach to a formula. 1 do worry about the difference between lip service to what the government say it's supposed to be like and what it’s really like. I do hate the untruthfulness of that and the gulf seems to widen more anti more. It feels like what matters most is what’s tested. The trouble is nothing that is really worthwhile can be tested. are the love of learning, connection with literature, having empathy ( 移情作用) —these are the things that really make a difference to someone’s life but of course they can’t be tested. Young teachers have to be careful not to get lost in finials and initiatives. A more experienced teacher will have confidence to respond to kids anti to talk about an issue that’s raised in class that's not on the plan. The children will learn so much from that but there's no box to tick.36. It can help relieve a situation to keep sense of humor rather than belittling your students.37.Teachers should not teach to a formula because what cannot be tested may really matter to a student's life.38.For the author, the main challenge in teaching is that there's no enough time.39.For teachers faced with a lot of marking, one strategy is to get pupils involved in peer marking.40.When dealing with things that happen in the classroom, teachers are advised to decide priorities.41.Working part time enables the author to mark students' assignments properly.42.The author believes she has received most satisfaction from teaching as a career.43. Students can tell whether a teacher loves his subject or not.44.The author thinks that teaching to formal work schemes and observation can makea loss in the classroom.45.According to the author, passion for a subject and interest in students' success will make a good teacher.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 fourchoices marked A, B, C and D. You should decide on the best choice. Passage OneQuestions 46 to 50 are based on the following passage.When families gather for Christmas dinner, some will stick to formal traditions dating back to Grandma’s generation. Their tables will be set with the good dishes and silver, and the dress code will be Sunday-best.But in many other homes, this china-and-silver elegance has given way to stoneware (粗陶)—and—stainless informality, with dresses assuming an equally casual—Friday look. For hosts and guests, the change means greater simplicity and comfort. For makers of fine china in Britain, it spells economic hard times.Last week Royal Doulton, the largest employer in Stoke-on Trent, announced that it is eliminating 1,000 jobs—one-fifth of its total workforce. That brings to more than 4,000 the number of positions lost in 18 months in the pottery (陶瓷) region. Wedgwood and other pottery factories made cuts earlier.Although a strong pound and weak markets in Asia play a role in the downsizing, the layoffs in Stoke have their roots in earthshaking social shifts. A spokesman for Royal Doulton admitted that the company “has been somewhat slow in catching up with the trend” toward casual dining. Families eat together less often, he explained, and more people eat alone, either because they are single or they eat in front of television.Even dinner parties, if they happen at all, have gone causal. In a time of long work hours and demanding family schedules, busy hosts insist, rightl y, that it’s betterto share a takeout pizza on paper plates in the family room than to wait for the perfect moment or a “real” dinner party. Too often, the perfect moment never comes, Iron a fine-patterned tablecloth? Forget it. Polish the silver? Who has time?Yet the loss of formality has its down side.
