UnitlLanguage in missionUnderstanding and LearningOverviewThis unit focuses on learning English with text Atalking about how grammar and vocabulary canbe taught efficiently and text B how the languagecan be learned successfully. In other words, one is about how to teach and the other how to leam.The writing style between the two texts is alsosomewhat different, the first one is more relaxedand humorous, a typical style in English discourse.The tone of the second text howeveris more formal and serious. When teachers familiarize students with the texts, they need to point out their respective writing styles and also think about how to involve students in class activities from twodifferent angles: teaching vs. learning. Meanwhile students should be encouraged to express their opinions about the current way of teaching in anEnglish class, thereby expressing their thoughts freely. Activities can range from class discussion to peer interview and panel debate such as whether grammar is of crucial importance in leamingEnglish and how one can excel when learning thatlanguage. Students need to share their leamingexperience and find out more effective ways to learn English grammar and vocabulary. Section AAn impressive English lessonBackground information1.Learning English grammarThe goal of developing learners’ functional competence in a second language is not a new idea. Originally, the term Grammar referred to the art of writing. As used today by many teachers and learners, grammar is loosely understood to be a set of rules that govern a language. Communicative language teaching has placed a renewed emphasis on the role of grammar, especially in the early stages of instruction. Viewing grammar with all of its components helps language teachers andleamers understand the complexity of what itmeans to know the grammar of a language. Clearly,the goal of language learning in a communicative classroom is for learners to acquire the grammar of the second language in its broadest sense toenable them to understand and make meaningthat is, to become proficient users of the language.Research and experience have shown that explicitteaching of grammatical rules does not producesuch competence. How should grammar be taughteffectively? It still has remained a question to all thelanguage teachers. Detailed study of the text1. If I am the only parent who still corrects his child’s English, then perhaps my son is right. To him,I am a tedious oddity: a father he is obliged to listen to and a man absorbed in the rules of grammar, which my son seems allergic to. (Para. 1)Meaning: My son is probably right if there is no other parent like me who still corrects his child’s mistake in English. To my son, I am a boring and strange father, who he has to listen to ; I am also the one who pa ys lots of attention to grammar rules, which he doesn’t seem to like.★tedious: a. boring and continuing for too long )〔长乏味的Telling thestory has become tedious, as I have done it so many times.讲述这个故事已变得单调乏味,因为我己经讲了这么多次了。

The reason this particular protest isstill remembered and famous is because of the unfortunate result of the demonstrations.On April 30, 1970, US President Richard Nixon announced an escalation of the war in Vietnam with a military invasion of Cambodia, which neighbors Vietnam. At that time, the war was extremely unpopular with the public and many people were frustrated and angered by this new development—especially students. Many people had been encouraged by Nixon's promise two years earlier to end the war, but, in 1970, there was still no end in sight.On May 1, students at Kent State University in Kent, Ohio protested against the American invasion of Cambodia and were calling for an end to the war. The campus protest was peaceful, but emotions grew throughout the day, and riots soon erupted in the town's streets that night. In response, the governor sent National Guard troops to the Kent State University campus to stop the riots and protests.Small protests continued over the next two days, and then, on the morning of May 4, approximately 2,000 students gathered in the center of campus to protest both the war and the presence of soldiers at their school. The soldiers ordered the students to disperse and return to their dorms. When they refused, the soldiers began firing tear gas into the crowd.During the morning, the situation escalated, along with tensions, emotions, and anger. Shortly after noon, the National Guard soldiers opened fire on the students. The cause of this action remains unclear to this day. However, at the end of the day, four students were killed and nine others were wounded. Some of those students were not even involved in the protest. They were just walking by or watching the protest from a distance.41. What were the students at Kent State University protesting?A. The American invasion of Vietnam.B.

大学英语教材第一册课文原文Unit 1 TravelText ATravelingTraveling by air is becoming more and more popular. More and more people are using the air services. But why do they prefer traveling by air to traveling by train or by car?Speed is one of the important things. You can travel hundreds of miles in a few hours by plane. You can get to most places in the world in twenty-four hours or less. In the past, a journey of that distance often took weeks. Some journeys still take weeks or even months now if you do not go by air.But the most important reason for traveling by air is comfort. On a modern plane, you can sit in a comfortable seat with plenty of room. You can get meals and drinks during the flight. And you can walk around the plane if you want to. You do not have to sit in one place all the time. When the weather is good, you can enjoy the beautiful view from the windows. When the weather is bad, you can read, watch TV or just sleep.But not all air travel is comfortable. Economy class travel can be uncomfortable. You usually have very little room for your legs and there is very little personal service.Still, most people think that it is better to travel by plane than by train or by car. Even though air travel is sometimes uncomfortable, it is both faster and more convenient than other types of travel.ExercisesA. Choose the correct answers:1. Which one is an important reason for traveling by air?A. Speed.B. Comfort.C. Low cost.D. Adventure.2. How long does it take to travel by plane to most places in the world?A. A few hours.B. Two days.C. Weeks.D. Twenty-four hours or less.B. Complete the following sentences according to the text:1. Air travel is becoming more and more popular. _______ ______________ _______ the air services.2. On a modern plane, you can sit in a _______ _______ with plenty of room.3. _______ _______ _______ in the past, a journey of hundreds of miles often took weeks.Text BFour Ways of TravelingMany people like to travel. There are different ways of traveling, and they all have their advantages and disadvantages. Here we look at four ways of traveling.Two of the most popular ways are traveling by car and traveling by train. Traveling by car has some advantages. It is cheap, and you can stop whenever and wherever you want. You can also carry a lot of luggage with you. But there are also disadvantages. Sometimes there are traffic jams and accidents, and you can spend a lot of time waiting. Traveling by train is comfortable and you can see the country. You can move around on the train and you can eat in the restaurant car. But trains are not as flexible as cars. They only go to certain places, and you have to catch the train at certain times.Another way of traveling is by boat. If you like ships and the sea, traveling by boat is an excellent way to relax and enjoy yourself. Boats are big and comfortable, and you can have a very good time on board. You can eat and drink in the restaurants and bars, and you can do a lot of shopping. But moving around on a boat can be tiring. You can only go where the boat goes, and you may have to share your cabin with other people.Finally, there is air travel. It is the fastest and most comfortable way of traveling long distances. You can get to most places in the world quickly and easily by plane. You can eat and sleep on the plane, and you can watch TV or listen to music. But air travel is expensive. And sometimes airports can be crowded and noisy.So if you like traveling, what is the best way? It depends on where you want to go, how much money you have, and how much time you have.。

Part II: Banked ClozeQuestions 31 to 40 are based on the following passage.When I was in college, I was a reporter for the school newspaper. My very first article was about a student protest on campus. The students, mostly freshman and sophomores gathered outside the chemistry building. They were calling for the resignation of Professor Keyes, who they claimed was a particularly repressive teacher. He ran his classroom like a dictator and didn't grade fairly.The students were mostly peaceful and they spent all day chanting "Down with Keyes! Down with Keyes!" However, they did have a minor clash with other students who tried to defend Professor Keyes. Nobody was hurt, but it was obvious that both sides were very passionate about their beliefs.You could say that my college had a very liberal environment. Students were encouraged to think for themselves, assert their rights, and fight for what they believed in. This wasn't the only protest during my college years, either. You certainly couldn't criticize the students for being apathetic; they were always outspoken and involved!Part III: Reading ComprehensionQuestions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage.One of the most famous student protests to ever occur in the United States took place between May 1 and May 4, 1970 at a college campus in the Midwestern state of Ohio. The reason this particular protest is still remembered and famous is because of the unfortunate result of the demonstrations.On April 30, 1970, US President Richard Nixon announced an escalation of the war in Vietnam with a military invasion of Cambodia, which neighbors Vietnam. At that time, the war wasextremely unpopular with the public and many people were frustrated and angered by this new development—especially students. Many people had been encouraged by Nixon's promise two years earlier to end the war, but, in 1970, there was still no end in sight.On May 1, students at Kent State University in Kent, Ohio protested against the American invasion of Cambodia and were calling for an end to the war. The campus protest was peaceful, but emotions grew throughout the day, and riots soon erupted in the town's streets that night. In response, the governor sent National Guard troops to the Kent State University campus to stop the riots and protests.Small protests continued over the next two days, and then, on the morning of May 4, approximately 2,000 students gathered in the center of campus to protest both the war and the presence of soldiers at their school. The soldiers ordered the students to disperse and return to their dorms. When they refused, the soldiers began firing tear gas into the crowd.During the morning, the situation escalated, along with tensions, emotions, and anger. Shortly after noon, the National Guard soldiers opened fire on the students. The cause of this action remains unclear to this day. However, at the end of the day, four students were killed and nine others were wounded. Some of those students were not even involved in the protest. They were just walking by or watching the protest from a distance.41. What were the students at Kent State University protesting?A. The American invasion of Vietnam.B. The American invasion of Cambodia.C. The election of President Richard Nixon.D. The election of the Ohio governor.42. National Guard troops were sent to the Kent State campus because _______.A.

He was studying child behaviour and wanted to trace bad behavior back to its source. Derek took children of different ages and put them in a(n) mostly empty room; there were only a few toys and a small couch to lie down on.He then presented them with different stimuli that they might encounter during the day. For example, he would play music at a loud or soft volume; adjust the lighting to be very bright or very dim; or fill the room with different smells, both good and bad. He had a(n) repertoire of several hundred distinct stimuli.It was interesting to watch the children's behaviour unfold in response to the changing environment. Nearly all children eventually displayed some form of naughty behaviour, but some of them created a serious disturbance in the room and had to be removed.The reactions were all fascinating, and Derek recorded everything that happened. He is now trying to comprehend the meaning of these results and the implications for child behaviour. Hopefully, his work will help clarify and identify potential sources of misbehaviour. Part III: Reading ComprehensionQuestions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage.Until very recently, most people assumed that the ability to feel and exhibit emotions was limited to human beings. It was generally assumed that animals could simply not feel emotions such as happiness, sadness, jealousy, anger, or grief. It wasn't that the intensity of these emotions was more limited than in humans; the general consensus was that such emotions were literally absent in all other animals.However, such thinking has recently been called into question as more and more researchers areuncovering evidence that suggests animals do indeed feel emotions. In some cases, these emotions are very obvious! Dog owners have known this for a long time. If a dog does something bad and is reprimanded by its owner, it will often hang its head low and exhibit "puppy-dog eyes." The dog knows it has been naughty and this is, in effect, its exhibition of sadness and sorrow.Another relatively clear example of animals' emotional behaviour is when they show aggression. In some cases, it doesn't take very much for animals to become irritated and angry. Dogs, wolves, lions, tigers, birds—nearly every animal has been observed in an agitated state and acting out against the cause of its frustration. In fact, animal researchers have even witnessed animals in the wild waging war and exacting revenge.Biologists have reported on countless other examples of animals' emotional behaviour. For example, some animals grieve over deceased family members, some dream and have nightmares, some display pride in the work demanded of them, some exhibit friendship and cooperation, and many show love. Examples of compassion and self-indulged enjoyment are also not uncommon. Based on the biological and scientific evidence, it seems beyond doubt that animals are capable of feeling and showing a wide range of emotions. Human do not have a monopoly on such feelings, and it's time for more people to understand that we're all part of one big emotional family.41. According to the article, which of the following was a general assumption made throughout much of history?A. People feel a wide range of emotions.B. Animals feel a wide range of emotions.C. People feel a limited range of emotions.D. Animals are incapable of feeling emotions.42.

On only the second day, my wallet was stolen. It was a very scary time, and I was obviously frustrated and angered. At first, I was angry I had lost the cash in my wallet. Then, I realized that the thief now had my credit cards and ID card! With only a little practice, he or she could easily forge my signature and make hundreds of unauthorized purchases.I immediately called the credit card companies to cancel my cards. The more I thought about it, the angrier I got. How could someone commit such fraud? The undoubted deceitfulness in stealing other people's wallets really made me wonder how someone could be completely without ethical standards or morals.Thankfully, I still had traveler's checks —which are widely accepted in Spain —at my hotel. However, I was no longer in a good mindset to enjoy my vacation. In my opinion, the authorities must attack this problem globally; it's not enough to just focus on pickpockets or identify theft that happens locally. With the Internet, there's no such thing as "local" anymore.Part III: Reading ComprehensionQuestions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage.Many people often wonder about the terms "blue-collar crime" and "white-collar crime". What's the difference? Is one worse than the other? Are they committed by different kinds of people? What does crime have to do with the color of your shirt?First, it is helpful to understand that blue-collar workers are those people employed in jobs that require manual labor, and white-collar workers perform non-manual labor in an office setting. The terms can be dated back to the 19th century, when industrial workers and manual laborers were required to wear clothing suitable to the difficult work — which was typically a blue work shirt or blue coveralls. In contrast, professional workers in offices generally wore white dress shirts.Today, the primary distinctions between white-collar and blue-collar crime are the social class towhich the suspect belongs and the type of crime committed. Blue-collar crimes are committed by individuals from lower social classes (ie, less privileged backgrounds with fewer professional and societal opportunities), and white-collar crimes, conversely, are committed by individuals from higher, more affluent social classes.The exact nature of the crime is also a defining factor of blue-collar versus white-collar crime. Blue-collar crimes tend to be relatively obvious (eg, vandalism, robbery, and shoplifting) or violent (eg, assault, arson, and murder) crimes that are committed out of desperation. White-collar crimes, however, are "quieter" crimes (eg, bribery, embezzlement, and computer crime) committed by people who have the means and opportunity to exploit professional situations.It is impossible to say that one type of crime is worse than the other, for both have serious and lasting effects for the victims. Blue-collar crime gets more consistent exposure in the media, so we usually hear more about it on a regular basis. However, even though we might not hear many news stories about white-collar crime, it still occurs every day. The increase in computer crime and rising instances of identify theft are testament to that.41. Which of the following would make the best title for this article?A. White-Collar Crime: A Victimless Crime.B. A History of Blue-Collar and White-Collar Workers.C. Blue-Collar Crime Versus White-Collar Crime: An Explanation.D. An Examination into Blue-Collar Crime.42. With which of the following statements would the author likely agree?A. Identity theft is an example of blue-collar crime.B. All crime is equally bad for the victims.C. Many white-collar criminals have good jobs.D. Incidents of blue-collar crime are decreasing.43.

I submit articles to several different websites and I also write regular updates to my own blog. In China alone, that's more than one billion potential readers!I carry my laptop computer with me wherever I go, just in case something happens and I need to report on it. Many days I just write about minor events, but you never know when something truly momentous will happen. Moreover, when something big does happen, you need to be quick and get the story in first. Other reporters can sometimes be ferocious and try to steal the big stories. If you're too slow, you'll definitely miss out.For example, I was drinking coffee one morning at a local café when I saw a police chase speed down the street. The reporter in me got curious, so I quickly hopped in my car to follow the police. Was I ever startled to find out that the person the police were chasing was a famous movie star! I was the first person to report the arrest and it really helped my career. Reader feedback on my blog was overwhelmingly positive and I almost doubled the number of people visiting my site!Part III: Reading ComprehensionQuestions 41 to 45 are based on the following passage.One of the most memorable days of James's life began as a bright and beautiful morning. In fact, it was one of the most beautiful days James could ever remember. He went to work as usual in downtown Washington, DC and everything seemed normal. However, during his 9:00 meeting, something strange happened. The world as he knew it changed forever.Shortly after 9:30, the entire building shook. James and his coworkers all looked around at each other in nervous wonder. Instantly, the sirens began—police cars, ambulances, fire engines. It seemed to be a never-ending parade of emergency vehicles speeding by his building. You see, James works less than a mile from the Pentagon and the day was September 11, 2001.。

I felt very nervous about traveling so far, but my mother said, “Don’t worry. You’ll be fine.” I got on the airplane and talked for a long time to a very nice woman who sat next to me. My grandparents met me at the airport and tookme to their home. I stayed there for two weeks, and I had so much fun with them! It was my first time in Los Angeles, and I saw lots of really interesting places. In the end, I didn’t want to go home!Listening 3 Making memories A popular new hobby is scrapbooking---making beautiful books to hold special memories. Scrapbook pages can include photos, drawings, journal entries. It’s not hard to make a scrapbook that you will enjoy for many years. Here are the steps.. 1. Choose a theme for your scrapbook pages. Some examples: “School days,” “ Family travel,” “Memories of my grandparents,” “ Baby’s first year.” 2. Select photos for each page. Two or three really good photos are better than ten so-so photos. 3. Find other paper keepsakes to use with your photos. Look for old newspaper clippings, postcards, tickets, report cards, letters--- anything made of paper. Use your imagination! 4. Design the pages. Put photos and keepsakes together on each page and move them around until you find a layout that you like. 5. Glue your photos and keepsakes into place. Then decorate your pages with felt pens, paint, and stickers. Use your imagination! 6. Label your pages. This is the most important step! Remember to write down the “5 Ws” of your photos: Who, What, Where, When, and Why. This will make your scrapbook much more interesting and valuable in the future.Listening 4 Yearbooks in the United States Most high schools in the United States publish a yearbook. The yearbook comes out once a year, usually in the spring. It is a record of the school year---- a “book of memories” for the students. Inside a yearbook is each student’s photo. The seniors are graduating soon, and their photos appear first. Next are the juniors. They are one year behind the seniors. Next come the sophomores, or second-year students. The last photos are the first-year students, the freshmen. The yearbook is not only about students. The teachers have photos, too. The yearbook also has photos and descriptions of sports teams, academic subjects, and extracurricular activities. These are activities students do after school, such as the chess club and Spanish club. There is even a yearbook club. Students in this club write, design, and take photos all year for the yearbook. At the end of the year, the book is printed. In the yearbook, some students receive special titles. The seniors vote and choose the “class clown”( a funny student), the “ most likely to succeed” ( a student everyone thinks will be successful), and the “ best dressed” (a student with a g ood fashion sense). There are also other awards and categories. Students typically sign each other’s yearbooks. This is especially important for the seniors, because they are graduating. Students write notes to each other, such as, “ We had a lot of fun,”or “ I’ll never forget you.”They also write about all the fun and funny experiences they shared in school together.
