among private companies and billionaire entrepreneurs to carry paying passengers into space and tokick-start a new industry, astro tourism.to astronauts, pilots, and aeronautical engineers –basically to anyone who knows anything about aircraft design –burt rutan is a legend, an aeronautical engineer whose latest aircraft is the worlds first private spaceship. as he told when he first met him a little over a year ago, if his idea flies, someday space travel may be cheap enough and safe enough for ordinarypeople to go where only astronauts have gone before. the white knight is a rather unusual looking aircraft, built just forthe purpose of carrying a rocket plane called spaceshipone,the first spacecraft built by private enterprise.white knight andspaceshipone are the latest creations of burt rutan.theyre part of his dream to develop a commercial travel business in space. there will be a new industry. and we are just now in a beginning. i will predict that in 12 or 15 years,there will be tens of thousands, maybe even hundreds ofthousands of people that fly, and see that black sky, says rutan.on june 21, 2004, white knight took off from an airstrip inmojave, calif., carrying rutans spaceship. it took 63 minutes to reach the launch altitude of 47,000 feet. once there, the white knight crew prepared to release the spaceship one. the fierce acceleration slammed mike melvill, the pilot, back in his seat.he put spaceshipone into a near vertical trajectory, until, as planned, the fuel ran out.still climbing like a spent bullet, melvillhoped to gain as much altitude as possible to reach spacebefore the ship began falling back to earth. by the time the spaceship one reached the end of its climb, it was 22 miles off course. but it had, just barely, reached an altitude of just over 62 miles --the internationally recognized boundary of space.it was the news rutan had been waiting for. falling back to earth from an altitude of 62 miles, spaceshipones tilting wing,a revolutionary innovation called the feather, caused the rocket plane to position itself for a relatively benign re-entry and turned the spaceship into a glider.spaceshipone glided to a flawless landing before a crowd of thousands.after that june flight, i felt like i was floating around and just once in a while touching the ground, remembers rutan. we had an operable space plane.rutans operable space plane was built by acompany with only 130 employees at a cost of just $25 million. he believes his success has ended the governments monopoly on space travel, and opened it up to the ordinary citizen.i concluded that for affordable travel to happen, the little guyhad to do it because he had the incentive for a business, says rutan. does rutan view this as a business venture or a technological challenge?its a technological challenge first. and its a dream i had when i was 12, he says. rutan started building model airplanes when he was seven years old, in dyenuba, calif., where he grew up.i was fascinated by putting balsa wood together and see how it would fly, he remembers. and when i started having the capability to do contests and actually win a trophy by making a better model, then i was hooked.hes been hooked ever since. he designed his first airplane in 1968 and flew it four years later.since then his airplanes have become known for their stunning looks, innovative design and technological sophistication.rutan began designing a spaceship nearly a decade ago, after setting up set up his own aeronautical research and design firm. by the year 2000, he had turned his designs into models and was testing them outside his office.when i got to the point that i knew that i could make a safe spaceship that would fly amanned space mission -- when i say, i, not the government,our little team -- i told paul allen, i think we can do this.and he immediately said, go with it. paul allen co-founded microsoft and is one of the richest men in the world. his decision to pump $25 million into rutans company, scaled composites, was the vote of confidence that his engineers needed to proceed. that was a heck of a challenge to put in front of some people like us, where were told, well,【篇三:英语高级视听说 下册 unit15】【篇三:英语高级视听说n new york on tuesday, nov. 1, to begin an eight-day visit, it will be his first official american tour in more than a decade. everyone knows what has happened in the interim. his troubled marriage to the late princess diana, his remarriage to camilla parker bowles, and the youthfulindiscretions of his two sons have been turned to a reality-based soap opera by the tabloid media. but most americans know very little about who the prince of wales is and what he does as heir to the british throne.members of the royal family hardly ever grant interviews, the queen has never given one, and you rarely see them talk. but last month, as his trip to the united states was being planned, prince charles granted 60 minutes correspondent steve kroftan audience, allowing us to follow him around and chat, not about his family, but about being prince of wales, a job and a life like no other.most of us in our lives have to fill out applications listing our profession and occupation. you dont have to do that, kroft said. no. not always, but sometimes, prince charles replied.if you did, what would you put down? kroft asked.i would list it as worrying about this country and its inhabitants. thats my particular duty. and i find myself borninto this particular position. im determined to make the most of it. and to do whatever i can to help. and i hope i leave things behind a little bit better than i found them, the prince said. its hard to say, but i think it is a profession, actually; doing what im doing. because if you tried it for a bit, you might find out how difficult it is, he added, laughing.he is somewhere between a brand and a public institution, a future head of state in waiting —and waiting. he is a symbol of continuity with no real power but tremendous influence that is tied to his position and wealth.the money comes from a 14th century real estate empire called the duchy of cornwall, which was established to provide an income for the heir to the british throne.today it includes 135,000 acres of farmland, forests, waterfront property, london real estate, and even a cricket stadium. it produces $25 million a year in rents and other income that supports the prince, his wife and children and a staff of 130. there are perks such as travel on the royal train. and $7 million from the government to help with official expenses.on a recent trip to the yorkshire countryside to mark the 850th anniversary of the village of richmond, the whole town turned out to greet charles and camilla, his new wife, longtime friend and former mistress, now the duchess of cornwall. they were recently voted the most popular couple in britain, nosing out the queen and prince philip and they seemed comfortable with each other and the crowds.there was clearly a bond between you and the people there. explain that to me, asked kroft.no idea, the prince replied with laugh.you have no idea? kroft asked.no, but i always enjoyed seeing all sorts of people all around the country. i do this over and over again, have done for 30-something years, the prince said.he could pass the time playing polo or do nothing at all if he wanted, a path chosen by most of his predecessors, many of whom were lay-abouts and playboys. but charles chose to invent a job where none existed. he made 29 major speecheslast year, visited 14 countries, and runs the largest group of non-profit organizations in the country called princes charities. he raises more than $200 million a year for those 16organizations, 14 of which he founded.the largest charity is the princes trust which, over 29 years, has helped to provide job training for more than a half a million young people.do you think if you werent doing this stuff, that it would getdone? kroft asked.if i wasnt doing it? no, the prince replied.asked if he felt as if he was making a difference, princecharles said, i dont know. i try. i only hope that when im dead and gone, they might appreciate it a little bit more. do youknow what i mean? sometimes that happens.as he approaches his 57th birthday, he sometimes feels misunderstood and undervalued. he was educated at cambridge, can fly jet planes and helicopters, is extremely knowledgeable about the arts, and has tried to carve out for himself a number of different careers— environmentalist, urban planner, real estate developer, and social critic — deeply committed to a vision of what great britain was and should be. his vision is laid out in bricks and mortar in poundbury, avillage of 2,500 people, which he created on his land near dorchester in the south ofengland. all his ideas on architectural design, class structure, aesthetics and ecology are here. and what he sees as the future looks very much like the past: an 18th century villageadapted for the 21st. prince charles gave kroft a tour of the village. and thats aconvenience store, which im very proud of, which everybody said wouldnt work. thats the pub, which again nobody wanted to touch. but now of course, the values are going up, and upand up.kroft remarked that the buildings looked as if they were builtto last, lacking flimsy materials.well, thats what ive been trying to encourage people to think about. … to break the conventional mold in the way weve been building and designing for the last, well, during the lastcentury really, has all been part of a throw-away society, princecharles said.everything in the village is constructed of native or recycled materials, sustainable development, he calls it, that conservesthe earths resources.single-family homes are mixed with small apartments so there are people of all income levels here living side by side in a community with shops and light industry. the narrow twisty roads discourage automobile traffic, and cars are parked out ofsight in landscaped lots.the whole of the 20th century has always put the car at the center, the prince explained. so by putting the pedestrian first, you create these livable places, i think, with more attraction,and interest and character. livability.he believes that the modern world with its cars and computers is slowly eroding our humanity, that we are losingtouch with the world around us.the british tabloids have made an industry out of his travails and love to portray him as an out-of-touch eccentric trying to stop progress, an edwardian hippie with no real-life experience, whos never had to draw his own bath or take out the garbage. hes been constantly ridiculed for what have been called his undergraduate ramblings, including his innocent admissionthat he talks to his plants.are you familiar with any of the plants here? talking to any ofthem? kroft asked.yeah, i know some of them. no, no, no, the prince said, laughing. no, i do all the time. not here. youve gotten more mileage out of that, i think, than almostanything thats … kroftsaid.j ust just shows you cant make a joke. … without them taking it seriously. so, its the same old story, the prince replied. his image is carefully managed by a communications staff ofnine that also handles his umbrella. they made it clear the prince would not answer questions about his wives, past andpresent, his sons or the queen. he mistrusts the media for past abuses, and worries that no one takes him seriously.what is the most difficult part of your job? i mean except fortalking with people like me? kroft asked.yes, exactly, the prince said, laughing. oh, dear. i think, that the most important thing is to be relevant. i mean, it isnt easy,as you can imagine. because if you say anything, people willsay, its all right for you to say that. its very easy to just dismiss anything i say. i mean, its difficult. but what ive tried to do is toput my money where my mouth is as much as i can, byactually creating like here, models on the ground. i mean, if people dont like it, ill go away and do it.you are in many ways a public advocate for the traditional. what are the great parts of great britain that are worth preserving, besides the monarchy? kroft asked.well, theres an awful lot of things that are worth preserving,the prince said with a laugh. the trouble, i think, in todaysworld is we abandon so many things unnecessarily, so often in the name of efficiency. if you make everything over-efficient,you suck out, it seems to me, every last drop of what, up to now, has been known as culture. we are not the technology. it should be our —you know, our slave, the technology. but its rapidly becoming our master in many areas, i think.prince charles says he is not trying to stop progress. im just trying to say that we ought to redefine the way in which progress is seen. is it progress to rush headlong into upsetting the whole balance of nature, which is what, i think, were beginning to do?you know, if you look at the latest figures on climate change and global warming, theyre terrifying, terrifying.as a member of the royal family, he is expected to avoid politically contentious issues. yet he has openly opposed a number of government policies, including the development of genetically-modified crops. hes raised questions about stemcell research and is a strong advocate of alternative medicine.he has expressed those views in speeches, letters andmeetings with government officials, some of whom considerhim to be a royal nuisance.how do you deal with that? how do you walk that line? kroft asked.well, years of practice, perhaps, the prince said.does it get you in a spot of trouble from time to time fromcertain people? kroft asked.oh, inevitably. but it seems to be part and parcel of the thing. imean, if i wasnt, i think, doing these things, id be accused bypeople like you, doing nothing with my life, the prince replied, laughing.asked if anybody ever asks him to tone it down a bit, the prince said, oh yes, of course. but i think the proof is in the pudding. and i think, you know, all the things they try to tell me to tone down over the years, if you look now, though, youll find theyre fairly mainstream.twenty years ago when he announced that he was going to begin farming organically on his estate at highgrove, no one knew what he was talking about and assumed it was another crackpot idea.today its big business in great britain, and prince charles has a line of high-end organic products produced on his estate called duchy originals that includes everything from biscuitsand jams to mineral water, sausage and turkeys.prince charles says the business has been quite successful. and that has grown and now turns over ?40 million ($71 million) a year. and im able to give away over a million pounds each year to my charitable ventures.when he arrives in new york on nov. 1 as great britains most popular ambassador, he will be selling a political, commercial and diplomatic agenda prepared by the foreign office.he will also be introducing the american public to his new wife, who will be making her first official overseas trip and donned a diamond tiara for the first time last week. she is not giving interviews right now, and may never.she is said to be interested in supporting, not overshadowing, her husband, and has no interest in establishing her ownpublic identity.why has it been 20 years since his last official visit to the united states?you dont want to see me all the time. you get bored, the prince said, laughing.is there anything youre looking forward to doing there, anything youre looking。

He was born in 1769 on the island of Corsica. When he was only 10 years old, his father sent him to military school in France. N. wasn’t a very good student in most of his classes, but he excelled in mathematics and military science. When he was 16 years old, he joined the French army. In that year he began the military career that brought him fame, power, riches, and, finally, defeat. N. became a general in the French army at the young age of 24. Several years later, he became the emperor of the French Empire.N. was many things. He was, first of all, a brilliant military leader. His soldiers were ready to die for him. As a result, N. won many, many military victories. At one time he controlled most of Europe, but many countries, including England, Russia, and Austria fought fiercely against him. His defeat –his end –came when he decided to attack Russia. In this military campaign against Russia, he lost most of his army.The great French conqueror died alone -- deserted by his family and friends – in 1821.

They go to the mountains or to the seashore to escape the city noise and heat. Over 2,000 years ago, many rich Romans did the same thing. They left the city of Rome in the summer. Many of these wealthy Romans spent their summers in the city of Pompeii. P. was a beautiful city; it was located on the ocean, on the Bay of Naples.In the year 79 C.E., a young boy who later became a very famous Roman historian was visiting his uncle in P.. The boy’s name was Pliny the Younger. One day Pliny was looking up at the sky. He saw a frightening sight. It was a very large dark cloud. This black cloud rose high into the sky. Rock and ash flew through the air. What Pliny saw was the eruption –the explosion -- of the volcano, Vesuvius. The city of P. was at the foot of Mt. V..When the volcano first erupted, many people were able to flee the city and to escape death. In fact, 18,000 people escaped the terrible disaster. Unfortunately, there was not enough time for everyone to escape. More than 2,000 people died. These unlucky people were buried alive under the volcanic ash. The eruption lasted for about 3 days. When the eruption was over, P. was buried under 20 feet of volcanic rock and ash.

Chapter 3 Lance Armstrong: Survivor and WinnerLance Armstrong was born on September 18, 1971 in a suburb of Dallas, Texas, called Plano. Lance began running and swimming competitively when he was only 10 years old. By the time he was 13, he was competing in triathlons and won the Iron Kids Triathlon. Lance’s mother, who raised L. mostly by herself, recognized and encouraged his competitive spirit.During his senior year in high school, L. was invited to train with the US Olympic cycling developmental team in Colorado. From that time on, L. focused completely on cycling. By 1991, L. was the US National Amateur Champion. He also won 2 major national races the same year -- even beating some professional cyclists.Although he was generally doing very well, L. had his ups and downs. In 1992, he was expected to do very well at the Barcelona Olympics, but finished in 14th place. This was a big disappointment. L. got over the disappointment and decided to turn professional. In his first professional race, the 1992 Classico San Sebastian, he ended up finishing dead last, 27 minutes behind the winner. L.’s mother continued to encourage L. through his difficult times.Things went much better for L. in the following years. In 1993, he was the youngest person to win the World Race Championships. In the same year, he entered the Tour de France for the first time. He won one stage of the race, but dropped out of the race before finishing. In 1995, he even won the Classico S. S., the race he had finished last in, in 1992. L. also won the most important US tournament, the Tour du Pont, 2 times, in both 1995 and 1996. By 1996, L. was ranked 7th among cyclists in the world, and he signed a 2-year contract with a French racing team. At that time, everything was looking very good for L.A..However, everything changed dramatically and drastically in October of 1996, shortly after his 25th birthday. At this time, L. was diagnosed with advanced cancer that had already spread to his brain and lungs. He almost immediately underwent 2 cancer surgeries. After these 2 surgeries, he was given a 50-50 chance of survival as he began an aggressive 3-month course of chemotherapy. The chemotherapy left L. very weak, but the treatment worked well. Quite soon after, L. was declared free of cancer. L. returned to cycling and training only 5 months after he was initially diagnosed with cancer. He vowed he would return to competitive cycling better than ever.However, his French cycling team dropped L. from the team. They didn’t believe that L. would ever be able to return to his former level of strength and endurance. Fortunately the US Postal Service Team became his new sponsor. With the support of the US Postal Service Team, L. returned to racing in 1998. After one particularly bad day during one of his races, L. pulled over and decided he was done with racing. However, after spending time with his really good cycling friends, L. returned to racing, and again he was off again in pursuit of cycling victories!L.’s big comebac k was marked by his victory at the 1999 Tour de France. L. repeated this feat in the years 2000, 2001,2002, 2003 and 2004, for a total of 6 consecutive victories in the Tour de France, the most prestigious and the most grueling of all cycling contests. L.s’ Tour de France record may never be beaten or even matched. Interestingly, L. was the youngest person to win the World Cycling Championships in 1993 and the oldest person ever to win the Tour de France in 2004!In addition to his amazing athletic performance, L.A. has established the L.A. Foundation, which is devoted to providing information about cancer and support to cancer victims. He has also written a book about his life and winning the TdF, called Every Second Counts, and for L., every second has counted.L.A. gives a lot of credit for his success to his mother, whose independent spirit and support for L. inspired him to overcome all of life’s obstacles, both on and off the racetrack. Lance, in return, has provided inspiration to many, for his courage – both athletic and personal.PostlisteningA. The Comprehension Check1. Recognizing Information and Checking Accuracy1.

(F He lost the first time and won the second time.)10. Lauce is the only cyclist to win the Tour de France five times consecutively. (F Lauce is the only person to win the Tour de France six times consecutively.)Chapter 4 The Internet: How it WorksThe Internet consists of millions of computers, all linked together into a gigantic network. Now every computer that is connected to the Internet is part of this network and can communicate with any other connected computer.In order to communicate with each other, these computers are equipped with special communication software. To connect to the Internet, the user instructs the computer’s communication software to contact the Internet Service Provider, or ISP. Now an Internet Service Provider, or ISP, is a company that provides Internet service to individuals, organizations, or companies, usually for a monthly charge. Local ISPs connect to larger ISPs, which in turn connect to even larger ISPs. A hierarchy of networks is formed. And this hierarchy is something like a pyramid, with lots of small networks at the bottom, and fewer but larger networks moving up the pyramid. But, amazingly, there is no one single controlling network at the top. Instead, there are dozens of high-level networks, which agree to connect with each other. It is through this process that everyone on the Internet is able to connect with everyone else on the Internet, no matter where he or she is in the world.How does information that leaves one computer travel through all of these networks, and arrives at its destination, another computer, in a fraction of a second?The process depends on routers. Now routers are specialized computers whose job is to direct the information through the networks. The data, or information, in an e-mail message, a Web page, or a file is first broken down into tiny packets. Each of these packets has the address of the sender and of the receiver, and information on how to put the packets back together. Each of these packets is then sent off through the Internet. And when a packet reaches a router, the router reads its destination address. And the router then decides the best route to send the packet on its way to its destination. All the packets might take the same route or they might go different routes. Finally, when all the packets reach their destination,they are put back into the correct order.To help you understand this process, I’m going to ask you to think of these pa ckets of information as electronic postcards. Now imagine that you want to send a friend a book, but you can send it only as postcards. First, you would have to cup up each of the pages of the book to the size of the postcards. Next, you would need to write your address and the address of your friend on each of these postcards. You would also need to number the postcards so that your friend could put them in the correct order after he receives the postcards. After completing these steps, you would put all the postcards in the mail. You would have no way to know how each postcard traveled to reach your friend. Some might go by truck , some by train, some by plane, some by boat. Some might go by all 4 ways. Now along the way, many postal agents may look at the addresses on the postcards in order to decide the best route to send them off on to reach their destination. The postcards would probably arrive at different times. But finally, after all of the postcards had arrived, your friend would be able to put them back in the correct order and read the book.Now this is the same way that information is sent over the Internet using the network of routers, but of course it happens much, much faster!PostlisteningA.

(T)Chapter 5 Language: How Children Acquire TheirsWhat I’d lie to talk to you about today is the topic of child language development. I know that you all are trying to develop a second language, but for a moment, let’s think about a related topic, and that is: How children develop their first language. What do we know about how babies develop their language and communication ability? Well, we know babies are able to communicate as soon as they are bor n―even before they learn to speak their first language. At first, they communicate by crying. This crying lets their parents know when they are hungry, or unhappy, or uncomfortable. However, they soon begin the process of acquiring their language. The first state of language acquisition begins just a few weeks after birth. At this stage, babies start to make cooing noises when they are happy. Then, around four months of age they begin to babble. Babies all over the world begin to babble around the same age, and they all begin to make the same kinds of babbling noises. Now, by the time they are ten months old, however, the babbling of babies from different language backgrounds sounds different. For example, the babbling of a baby in a Chinese-speaking home sounds different from the babbling of a baby in an English-speaking home. Babies begin a new stage of language development when they begin to speak their first words. At first, they invent their own words for things. For example, a baby in an English-speakin g home may say “baba” for the word “bottle” or “kiki” for “cat.” In the next few months, babies will acquire a lot of words. These words are usually the names of things that are in the baby’s environment, words for food or toys, for example. They will begi n to use these words to communicate with others. For example, if a baby holds up an empty juice bottle and then says “juice,” to his father, the baby seems to be saying, “I want more juice, Daddy” or “May I have more juice, Daddy?” This word “juice” is rea lly a one-word sentence.Now, the next stage of language acquisition begins around the age of 18 months, when the babies begin to say two-word sentences. They begin to use a kind of grammar to put these words together. The speech they produce is called“telegraphic” speech because the babies omit all but the most essential words. An English-speaking child might say something like “Daddy, up” which actually could mean “Daddy, pick me up, please.” Then, between two and three years of age, young children begin to learn more and more grammar. For example, they begin to use the past tense of verbs. The children begin to say things such as “I walked home” and “I kissed Mommy.” They also begin to overgeneralize this new grammar rule and make a log of grammar mista kes. For example, children often say such thins as “I goed to bed” instead of “I went to bed,” or “I eated ice cream” instead of “I ate ice cream.” In other words, the children have learned the past tens e rule for regular verbs such as “walk” and “kiss,” but they haven’t learned that they cannot use this rule for all verbs. Some verbs like “eat” are irregular, and the past tense forms for irregular verbs must be learned individually. Anyway, these mistakes are normal, and the children will soon learn to use the past tense for regular and irregular verbs correctly. The children then continue to learn other grammatical structures in the same way.If we stop to think about it, actually it’s quite amazing how quickly babies and children all over the world learn their language and how similar the process is for babies all over the world.Do you remember anything about how you learned your first language during the early years of your life? Think about the process for a minute. What was your first word? Was it “mama” or maybe “papa”? Now think also about the process of learning English as a second language. Can you remember the first word you learned in English? I doubt that it was “mama.” Now, think about some of the similarities and differences involved in the p rocesses of child and adult language learning. We’ll talk about some similarities and differences in the first and second language learning processes tomorrow. See you then.PostlisteningA. The Comprehension Check1.

(F He/she actually used a kind of grammar in making two-word sentences at about 18months of age.)7. Children probably say “I goed” instead of “I went” because they hear their parents say this. (F Children say “I goed” instead of “I went” because they are overgeneralizing the grammar rule for the regular past tense verbs to the irregular ver b “go.”)Chapter 7 A Tidal Wave: What Is It? What Causes It? How Can We Predict It?A tidal wave is a very large and very destructive wall of water that rushes in from the ocean toward the shore. Many scientists call these waves tsunami. In Japanese tsunami means “storm wave.” But do you know that tidal waves are not caused by storms and that they are not true tides at all? A true tide is the regular rise and fall of ocean waters, at definite times each day, but a tidal wave comes rushing in suddenly and unexpectedly. A tidal wave is caused by an underwater earthquake. Scientists call the underwater earthquake a seaquake. The word “seaquake” is made up of two words, the word “sea” which means “ocean” and the word “quake.” “To quake” means “to shake” or“to tremble.” When a seaquake takes place at the bottom of the ocean, the ocean floor shakes and trembles, and sometimes the ocean floor shift s. It is this shifting that produces the tidal wave. The tidal wave begins to move across the sea at great speed.Tidal waves have taken many human lives in the past. Today scientists can predict when a tidal wave will hit land. They use a seismograph to do this. A seismograph is an instrument that records the strength, the direction, and the length of time of an earthquake or seaquake. It is not possible to hold back a tidal wave, but it is possible to warn people that a tidalwave is coming. This warning can save many lives.PostlisteningA. The Comprehension Check1.

During a seaquake, it shakes, trembles, and sometimes shifts. (e)6. It records the strength, the direction, and the length of time of earthquakes. (f)Chapter 8 Levels of Language Usage: Formal and InformalToday I want to talk about levels of language usage. You probably have noticed that people express similar ideas in different ways, depending on the situation they are in. This is very natural. All languages have two broad, general categories, or levels of usage: a formal level and an informal level. English in no exception. I’m not talking about correct and incorrec t English. What I’m talking about are two levels of correct English. The difference in these two levels is the situation in which you use a particular level. Formal language is the kind of language you find in textbooks, reference books such as encyclopedias, and in business letters. For example, a letter to a university would be in a formal style. You would also use formal English in compositions and essays that you write in school. People usually use formal English when they give classroom lectures or speeches and at ceremonies such as graduations. We also tend to use formal language in conversations with persons we don’t know well or with people we have a formal relationship with, such as professors, bosses, doctors, friends of our parents’, strangers, etc. Informal language is used in co nversation with colleagues, family, and friends, and when we write personal notes or letters to close friends, as well as in diaries, etc.Formal language is different from informal language in several ways. However, today I’m going to talk only abou t a couple of ways. First of all, formal language tends to be more polite. Interestingly, it usually takes more words to be polite. For example, I might say to a friend or family member, “Close the door, please,” but to a stranger or someone in authority I probably would say “Would you mind closing the door?” or “Excuse me, could you please close the door?” Using words like “could”and “would” makes my request sound more polite, but also more formal. I want to be polite but not too formal with my friends and family.Another difference between formal and informal language is some of the vocabulary. There are some words and phrases that belong in formal language and others that are informal. Let me give you a couple of examples of what I mean. Let’s say that I really like soccer. If I’m talking to my friend or colleague I might say “I’m just crazy about soccer!” But if I were talking to my supervisor or a friend of my parents’, I would probably say “ I really enjoy soccer” or “I like soccer ver y much.” Let’s say I’m telling someone some news I heard about the police arresting a criminal. To my friend I might say, “The cops bagged the crook.” To my parents’ friend I might say “The police arrested the thief.”Although the line between formal and informal language is not always clear and although people are probably less formal today than in the past, it is useful to be aware that these two levels, or categories, do exist. The best way for a nonnative speaker of English to learn the difference is to observe the different ways English speakers speak or write in different situations. Television newscasters, your college professors in your class, your doctors in their offices, etc., will usually speak rather formally. However, your classmates, teammates, family members, and friends will generally speak in an informal fashion. The difference can be learned over time by observing and interacting with native speakers.PostlisteningA. Comprehension check1. Recognizing information and checking accuracy1. Which of the following are usually written in formal English? (b)2. Which of the following people do we usually speak to in informal language? (d)3. Which of the following is the most formal way to make a request? (d)4. Which of the following should not be in a composition you write in school? (b)5. It's unusual to find both a formal and informal level of usage in a language. (F All languages have two broad, general categories, or levels of usage: formal and informal.)6. People usually use formal language when they first meet someone. (T)7. The sentence "Mary is crazy about that music" would be acceptable in a conversation between classmates. (T)8. The best way to learn the difference between formal and informal English is to look up every new word in the dictionary.(F The best way is to pay attention to how native speakers use language in different situations and to interact with them.) Chapter9 Power: The Kinds People Use and AbuseJohn Mack, who is the author of a book about power, says that the need for a sense of personal power is one of the primary forces in human life. On the other hand, he also says that a feeling of powerlessness is one of the most disturbing of human emotions ―a feeling to be avoided at all costs. Just what is power?Psychologists define power as the ability to determine or to change the actions or behavior of other people. Psychologists are trying to identify different kinds of power so that they can better understand how people use these different kinds of power to gain control over other people. They are trying to understand how people manipulate other people for good and evil purposes. Psychologists have identified five basic types of power, and I’d like to talk about each o f these briefly in the next few minutes.The first type of power is called information power. Some psychologist believe that information power is one of the most effective types of power and control. The person who has information that other people want and need, but do not have, is in a position of power. Why is this? Well, most people like to receive and have information. Having information increases a person’s own sense of power. People who provide information can manipulate those who do not have information. Often, when people receive information, they do not know that they are being manipulated by those who provided the information. The psychologist named Edwards says, for example, that newspapers provide a lot of information to their readers, and that these newspaper readers generally believe the information they read. Readers do not question the accuracy of the reports about world events they read in the newspapers.A second type of power is called referent power. For example, a person may want to behave like the members of a particular group, such as a soccer team ( or a group of classmates), or a person may identify with and want to be like a certain teacher, a friend, or say , a rock star. If you identify with another person, that person has power over you, and that person can influence your actions and behavior. Many people imitate and are controlled by the people they identify with. Let me give you a sad example of the use of this type of power for evil purposes. In the 1970s in Jonestown, Guyana, more than 900 people committed suicide when their religious leader Jim Jones told them to kill themselves. They did what he told them to do because he had referent power over them. They identified with him; they believe him, and they did what he told them to do. More recently a man named David Koresh controlled the lives and destinies of a small community of men, women, and children in Waco, Texas. Most people in his community died in a fire, along with their leader, during a confrontation with U.S. government agents.A third kind of power is classified as legitimate power. Government officials, according to Edwards, have a lot of legitimate power. When the government decides to raise taxes or make people go to war, most people will do what their government officials tell them to do. One psychologist reported on an experiment that showed an example of this type of power. In this experiment, a researcher asked people on the street to move away from a bus stop. When he was dressed as a civilian, few people moved away from the bus stop. When the researcher was dressed as a guard, most people moved away from the bus stop. The guard’s uniform seemed to give the researcher a look of legitimate power.A fourth kind of power is called expert power. An expert is a person who is very skilled in some area, such as sports, or。

《高级英语视听说(第二版)》教师用书第二版说明《高级英语视听说》为专业英语课程教材,供高等院校英语专业高年级本科生使用;同时也为高等院校非英语专业高年级本科生使用。
近些年,大学英语及专门用途英语教学改革成果显著,非英语专业学生的英语水平提高很大,有些甚至好于英语专业的学生。
教师和学生都感到特别需要更高要求、更深程度内容的英语教材满足这部分学生的智力和情感需求。
这套教材既是很好的选择。
本教材还可以供研究生英语课程使用,供有同等英语水平的自学者和工作者使用。
本套教材于2008年荣获北京市精品教材奖。
目前已经重印十余次,受到教师和学生的广泛欢迎。
第二版教材去掉五部旧片,换上五部新片,其中三部电影,一部纪录片,以跟进时代。
它们分别是《黑天鹅》、《帮助》、《朗读者》和《精神病人》。
这些片子已在北外的课堂使用过,深受学生们喜爱。
单元安排根据学生的兴趣、影片的新旧、影片的难易重新做了调整,现在的安排给人一种全新的感受。
教师也可以按照自己的考虑、学生的水平重新安排一学期的课程顺序。
第二版教材建议每周学习一部片子,所用学时两小时。
网络的发展以及各学校音视频的建设使学生随时可以看到新片,这样使一周完成学生课前的准备及课上的讨论成为了可能。
我们衷心希望第二版能够受到更多教师和学生的喜爱。
在内容带给我们更多挑战的同时,也希望带给我们更多思考的快乐。
主编:王镇平2013年4月23日编写理念21世纪是一个以经济全球化和信息化为显著特征的时代,我们的人才培养目标要适应这个时代,我们的教材则要适应这个新的培养目标。
英语专业培养的人才应该是具有扎实的英语语言基础和广博的英语文化知识,并能在不同的工作和研究领域熟练运用英语的复合型人才,要同时兼具组织能力、实践能力和创新能力。
这套教材就是在这样的需求中应运而生的。
根据2000年《高等院校英语专业英语教学大纲》(以下简称《大纲》)的要求,21世纪外语专业教材应具有以下几个特征:教材内容和语言能够反映快速变化的时代;教材能处理好专业知识、语言训练和相关学科知识之间的关系;教材不仅仅着眼于知识的传授,还有助于学生的鉴赏批判能力、思维能力和创新能力的培养;教学内容有较强的实用性和针对性;注意充分利用计算机、多媒体、网络等现代化的技术手段。
本教材的编写理念符合《大纲》的要求,具有以下七大特征:一、内容强调趣味性近些年来,人们越来越认识到兴趣是学习者内在动力的源泉。
所以,我们在选择教材内容时,尽量贴近大学生的生活,尽可能地满足大学生的智力因素和成长需求;能最大限度地做到这一点,就能最大限度地激发学生学习的积极性和主动性。
语言学家Michael P. Breen和Christopher N. Candlin强调:教材应考虑学生的情感、态度和经历,适当的内容可激发学生的学习情趣,最终促进第二语言的学习。
我们选择的影片包括《黑天鹅》、《朗读者》、《克莱默夫妇》、《毕业生》、《帮助》、《死亡诗社》、《闻香识女人》、《美国丽人》等,它们大都与时代同步,反映时代脉搏,与大学生的生活贴近。
还有根据名著、名剧改编的《时时刻刻》、《芝加哥》等探索人生的电影,引人思考。
电视节目《中央公园》、《高端访谈》和《精神病人》涉及人与自然的关系、联合国改革以及医疗体制的弊病及改革,这些内容有助于开阔学生的视野,会使他们产生发自内心的学习热情和学习动力。
二、选材强调知识性当今的大学生不同以往,现代社会对他们的要求也比以往高得多,而且是多元的。
只懂外语而缺乏对其他领域知识的掌握已经落后于时代的要求。
2000年《大纲》提到21世纪英语专业人才应具备的五个特征之一就是宽广的知识面。
这些知识指的是英语专业知识(即文学、语言、国情文化)和相关专业知识(如外交、金融、法律、科技等学科的知识)。
但目前,许多课程的教学内容中普遍缺少其他相关学科的知识。
为了扩展学生的知识面,我们增添了电视节目,电视节目比电影知识性强,信息量大,涉及面广,学生可以在短时间内获得大量信息,学习各领域的知识。
我们这里选择了三个节目,通过学习这些内容,学生可以了解和掌握环境、医疗体制、联合国(国际组织)等方面的知识及词汇。
这在一定程度上弥补了视听说课程相关学科知识不足的缺陷。
三、题材和体裁注重多元化我们认为,不断变换题材才是保护和保证学生兴趣的手段。
我们选择的题材涉及范围广泛,包括家庭、教育、代沟、同性恋、艾滋病、种族、环境、联合国、医疗体制、希望、名利场和腐败、中年危机等。
我们的体裁也较多元化,除了电影这一种艺术形式外,我们还选择了电视节目,其中有著名纪录片《精神病人》和电视节目《高端访谈》等。
《精神病人》由美国著名导演迈克尔·摩尔(Michael Moore)执导制作,它抨击美国医疗体制的弊端并期冀改革。
麦克尔诙谐、犀利、大胆,以纪录片的形式揭露美国现行社会尖锐问题而著名。
从中学生可以了解美国医疗体制的现状并反思中国医疗体制。
中国中央电视台著名主持人水均益,他的英语发音准确,字句使用恰当,表现得沉着、自信、敏锐。
他主持的节目《高端访谈》收视率很高,受到广大观众的喜爱和关注。
电视节目的特点是内容生动,形式新颖,紧跟时代节奏,提供最新信息,可以激发学生的强烈好奇心和求知欲。
四、以学生为中心现代语言教学的走向是以学生为中心,教师为主导,教师引导学生积极地、主动地、独立地去完成学习的全过程。
教材应该具有启发性、引导性,而不是传统的知识存储所。
认知理论认为,英语学习的过程是新旧语言知识不断结合的过程,也是语言能力从理论知识转化为自动应用的过程,而这种结合与转化都必须通过学生的自身活动才能得以实现。
以学生为中心符合语言学习的规律。
因此,教师与学生的角色发生了很大的变化,教师由原来知识的输出者变成学生的引导者和协调者;学生由听讲者变成自觉的学习者和研究者。
以学生为中心是一种新的教学模式,而教材又必须体现教学思想和教学模式。
首先,这种教学模式要体现在整套教材的内容选择和编排上。
内容的选择和编排要顺应学习者的学习过程,即内容要由浅入深,由熟悉到不熟悉,而且又有内在的连贯性。
其次,这种教学模式还要体现在教材每一单元课前、课堂和课下的语言活动设计中。
课前学生是自觉的学习者。
他们要按教学计划观看影片或电视节目,然后分小组活动,组内成员进行分工合作,按照每人分配的不同任务分别到图书馆或网上查找相关的资料。
最后,小组成员再一起讨论。
教师的任务则是给予引导,比如,如何观看影片,如何进行思考,如何提出问题,如何查询资料等。
课上学生是主要的参与者,学生需要轮流口述对影片或电视节目某一方面的评论。
每一位学生讲述之后,其他同学向这位讲述者提出相关问题,讲述者要为此做好充分准备。
教师在课堂上是协调者,保证每一位学生都有讲话的机会,都有运用语言的机会。
课后,学生将口述评论写成文,教师进行批改并提出建议。
教师最后根据学生课前、课堂表现和文章的水平给予一个综合分数作为本周成绩。
以学生为中心的教学模式就是把大部分时间给学生,让学生有更多的机会在课上和课下进行语言运用,以达到外语教学的最终目的。
五、语言活动的设计具有启发性英语专业教材不仅仅要着眼于知识的传授,还要有助于学生的鉴赏能力、批判能力、思维能力和创新能力的培养。
因此,教材只提供语言事实是不够的,这些是死的东西,无法培养学生的思维和创新能力。
那么,语言活动的设计就十分关键。
我们设计的语言活动(课前、课堂、和课后的练习)都试图培养学生的批判能力和思维能力。
语言活动应是一个过程,在这个过程中学生既是导演又是演员,他们需要对该活动进行分析、设计、编排、组织,直到最后实施。
这样一个过程可以激发学生的学习热情和主动精神,也可以开启他们的聪明智慧,培养他们的思考能力和创新能力。
六、注重培养学生的科研能力《大纲》明确提出课堂教学要注重培养学生的学习能力和科研能力,同时也明确要求现代英语教学应注重培养学生利用图书馆、网络获取知识的能力,以适应新世纪的需求。
要想真正成为独立的研究者,学生需要学习如何使用图书馆,如何利用网络来获取知识。
为培养学生独立研究的能力,视听说课程增添了科研内容,要求学生在观看影片或电视节目之后走进图书馆,访问网站,寻找自己所需的资料,为小组讨论和课堂演讲寻找依据。
这种科研体验为学生将来的独立学习和独立工作打下了良好的基础。
七、创造实践机会,实现视、听、说三位一体《大纲》要求培养组织能力、实践能力、创新能力。
外语教学的目标就是将课堂中学到的语言技能运用到实践中。
教材是为教学服务的,它是通向教学目标的桥梁。
那么,教材就应该有实践的内容。
实践内容不同于某一课后的语言活动,它是一个完整的、大型的项目,它需要学生们走出校门,在社会实践中运用掌握的英语语言,运用电视节目主持人的采访技巧,就某一主题采访以英语为母语的外国人。
在这样的实践活动中,检验自己的语言能力、知识面和采访能力,同时也锻炼自己的交际能力、组织能力和创新能力,实现语言训练的视、听、说三位一体。
有位学生感慨地说:“这样的实践活动是我从未体验过的,我第一次将所学的知识运用到实践中,它不仅检验了我的语言水平,同时也培养了我的合作精神、组织能力和交往能力。
”主编:王镇平2013年5月使用说明本书是《高级英语视听说(第二版)》的教师用书,为使用该教材的高校教师提供参考。
我们希望教师用书带给您的是思路的开拓而不是思维的局限,因为您和您的学生在探讨问题的过程中必定会有更广泛、更深刻的理解。
教学目的及教学要求已经在学生用书中详细讲述,就不再赘言。
这里只对本书的内容作出说明:本书的综合导视思考题答案是根据我们的理解得出的,您和学生的理解也许与本书答案不同,那是完全有可能的,对此不必有任何担心和顾虑,也不必强求一个答案。
我们的重点本来就不在于选择了哪个答案,而在于启发学生的思想,开拓学生的思路,挖掘学生的思想深度。
在研究性语言活动(Research Activities)部分也是如此。
关于影片或问题的每一个方面,我们只提供了一部分内容而不是全部。
每一个方面都有几个侧面,学生从哪个侧面展开都可以。
鼓励学生讲述时注重一个侧面进行深入探讨和挖掘,不要全面讲述,全面讲述的结果是对每个问题的研究都只停留在表面,不能提高学生深入思考分析的能力。
测试是评价教学效果和学生表现的重要手段,下面我们将详细介绍本课程在北京外国语大学开课时采用的测试方法,供任课教师参考。
总评成绩分配比例:为了不把期末考试作为衡量学生水平的唯一标准,我们将总评成绩分为70%(平时对电影、电视节目的分析和讨论)、10%(项目)和20%(期末考试)三部分。
从比例上看,我们的重点放在平时成绩,这是为了让学生重视日常的学习和练习,淡化期末考试的分量,同时也避免出现某些学生因一次考试失误,而无法体现在整个学期中所付出的努力的情况。
