Many students want to learn a foreign language well, but what must they do? In my opinion, in order to know a foreign language thoroughly, four things are necessary. 1 Secondly, we must be able to speak it ourselves correctly with confidence and without hesitation. Thirdly, we must be able to read the language, and fourthly, we must be able to write it. 2There is no easy way to succeed in language learning. A good memory is a great help. 3It is not much use learning by heart long lists of words and their meanings, studying the dictionary and so on.4If we are satisfied with only a few rules we have memorized, we are not really learning the language. “Learn through use” is a good piece of advice for those who are studying a new language. Practice is important. 5A.We must learn by using the language.B.To master a foreign language is very important.C.Firstly, we must understand the language when we hear it spoken.D.We must be able to make sentences that are grammatically correct.E.We must study how we have to do to learn a foreign language.F.But it is not enough only to memorize rules from a grammar book.G.We must practice speaking and writing the language whenever we can.1. 2. 3. 4. 5.答案[语篇解读]文章就如何学好一门外语给出了几点建议。

Unit 3 ComputersPart 1 WHO AM I?Over time I have been change d quite a lot. I began as a calculating machine in France in 1642. Although I was young I could simplify difficult sums. I develope d very slowly and it took nearly two hundred years before I was built as an analytical machine by Charles Babbage. After I was programme d by an operator who used card s with hole s, I could “think” logically and produce an answer quicker than any person. At that time it was consider ed a technological revolution and the start of my “artificial intelligence”. In 1936 my real father, Alan Turing, wrote a book about how I could be made to work as a “universal machine” to solve any difficult mathematical problem. From then on, I grew rapidly both in size and in brainpower. By the 1940s I had grown as large as a room, and I wonder ed if I would grow any larger. However, this reality also worried my designer s. As time went by, I was made smaller. First as a PC(personal computer) and then as a laptop, I have been used in offices and homes since the 1970s.These changes only became possible as my memory improve d. First it was store d in tubes, then on transistors and later on very small chips. As a result I totally changed my shape. As I have grown older I have also grown smaller. Over time my memory has developed so much that, like an elephant, I never forget anything I have been told! And my memory became so large that even I couldn’t believe it! But I was always so lonely standing there by myself, until in early 1960s they gave me a family connect ed by a network. I was able to share my knowledge with others through the World Wide Web.Since the 1970s many new application s have been found for me. I have become very important in communication, finance and trade. I have also been put into robot s and used to make mobile phones as well as help with medical operation s. I have even been put into space rocket s and sent to explore the Moon and Mars. Anyhow, my goal is to provide humans with a life of high quality. I am now truly filled with happiness that I am a devoted friend and helper of the human race!Part 2 ANDY – THE ANDROIDI’m part of an android football team. About once a year we are allowed to get together to play a game of football. I’m as big as a human. In fact, I look like one too. On the football team I’m a striker so I have to be able to run very fast. My computer chips help me to move and think like ahuman. For example, I have learned to signal to my teammates in computer language to give me the ball when I am open and have a good shot for a goal.My first football competition was in Nagoya, Japan several years ago. Last year our team went to Seattle, Washington in the USA. We won second place. Personally, I think the team that won first place cheat ed. They had developed a new type of program just before the competition. So we need to encourage our programmer to improve our intelligence too. We are determined to create an even better system. In a way our programmer is like our coach. She program s us with all the possible moves she has seen while watching human games. Then she prepare s reliable moves to use if a new situation arise s. In this way I can make up new moves using my “artificial intelligence”. I would really like to play against a human team, for I have been programmed to act just like them. After all, with the help of my electronic brain which never forgets anything, using my intelligence is what I’m all about!。

Unit 3 Section ⅡWarming Up & Reading—Language PointsⅠ.单句语法填空1．Miss Lin found her happiness (happy) in helping those less fortunate.2．English is considered a universal (universe) language, so there are so many people in the world learning it.3．Try to simplify (simple) your explanation to the students to help them understand better.4．I totally (total) know the feeling, but I really can't help you.5．The company has set itself some long­term organizational goals (goal)．6．Although artificial intelligence (intelligent) can be helpful to the human race, it can also be a threat.7．My personal (person) view is that the students should be doing more work outside the classroom.8．Once the problem is_solved (solve), the project will go smoothly.9．You can't believe, but the reality (real) is that a large number of girls in the world can't go to school.10．They have accepted my application (apply) to join the club.Ⅱ.阅读理解Our grandparents tell us stories of their years over and over again. Until finally we have heard them tell the stories so many times that we wonder why they keep on repeating these old times. Unconsciously (无意识地), this is the way our minds work to pass history on. There was a time when writing, reading, books, radio，TV and electronics of today were not present at all. Few things could be used to record and pass information on to the next generation. People would only sit around the campfire or the kitchen table, sharing stories of the past. This is called the “oral (口述的) tradition”．Children listened endlessly to families sharing stories of their youth. Memories are put in the minds of young people forever so they could later recall and tell them to their children and grandchildren. Can you recall any of this? I can. How could life of the past be able to survive for centuries without this telling of stories and information to the listening ears of the youth?Just the other day, our Uncle Martin came to visit with his two kids. As we sat around the kitchen table sharing stories and family remembrances, Uncle Martin's laughter filled the room. He recalled several times that he was lucky to have not been hit by the falling trees. Each person in the room listened and enjoyed his details and humor.We all can continue to share stories with our children, telling of those good old days. Children do listen and want to hear true, sincere, funny and scary tales dug up from the past and then they tell their friends. So oral tradition goes on and on.【文章大意】本文是夹叙夹议文，话题是社会文化类。

People use them on trains and airplanes，in airports and hotels. These laptops connect people to their workplace. In the United States today, laptops also connect students to their classrooms.Westlake College in Virginia will start a laptop computer program that allowsstudents to do schoolwork anywhere they want. Within five years，each of the 1,500 students at the college will receive a laptop. The laptops are part of a $10 million computer program at Westlake, a 110-year-old college. The students with laptops will also have acces s to the Internet. In addition, they will be able to use e­mail to “speak” with their teachers, their classmates, and their families. However，the most important part of the laptop program is that students will be able to use computers without going to computer labs. They can work with it at home, in a fast-food restaurant or under the trees—anywhere at all! Because of the many changes in computer technology，laptop use in higher education，such as colleges and universities, is workable. As laptops become more powerful，they become more similar to desktop computers. In addition，the portable computers can connect students to not only the Internet, but also libraries and other resources. State higher-education officials are studying how laptops can help students. State officials are also testing laptop programs at other universities，too.At Westlake College, more than 60 percent of the staff use computers. The laptops will allow all teachers to use computers in their lessons. As one Westlake teacher said，“Here we are in the middle of Virginia and we're giving students a window on the world. They can see everything and do everything.”【语篇解读】本文讲述了当前社会很多人使用笔记本电脑，笔记本电脑对人们的生活有很重要的影响。
