Today we’l help you decode tach talk by answering soome not so frequently asked questions about abbreviations on the Internet.What does it mean when a message includes the letters AISI or IMHO? AISI stands for “as I see it” and IMHO is shorthand for “in my humble opinion”.Some modest folks will also add FWIW before sharing their opinion, which stand for “for what it’s worth”. Others express their disapproval with the letters CMIIW. That is “correct me if I’m wrong”The lsit of commonly abbreviated phrases on teh Net is neaerly endless. As a matter of fact, AAMOF stands for “as a matter of fact” and “believe it or not” gets posted as BION.Are there any pre-Information-Age abbreviations still making tteh rounds in this high-tech era? You bet. The old stadnbys FYI, MYOB, and SOP which stand for “for your information”, “ mind your own business,” and “standard operating procedure” are still frequently used today even in email.Since time is getting short, ahs the Net given us truly short and clear ways to say good-bye? Try TAFN (That’s all for now) and BCNU (be seein’ you).C:1.Tim Berners-Lee is the man who wrote the software program that led to thefoundation of the World Wide Web2.In the 1980s scientists were already communicating using a primitive version ofemail.3.in 1990 Tim Berners-Lee wrote programs which from the basis of the World WideWeb4.in 1991 his programs were placed on the Internet.5.between 1991 and 1994 the number of web pages rose from 10 to 100,000.6.right now the world is focused on e-commerce.7.The invention for the web brings rapid rewards to people wit imagination and newideas.Part IIA1Connected / system / connection / work together / stations / peopleA2Connection of railroads or other vehiclesConnected system of radio stationsSystem linking a number of computers together.原文:Few things in this world change as fast as languages. Every day, new words are created to deal with new ideas or new technologies. New meanging also are added to exisitng words. A dictionary published years ago may show one or two meanign for a word; a dictionary published today may list several more meaning for the same word. Network is one such word. It combines two words. The first is “net”, it means materials that are connected; the second is “work”. One meaning of “work” is a system. Network means a connection of systems that work together. The systems that networks connect can be very different. For example ,radio and television stations can be connected in the network, so can computers and even people.Word expert Milford Matthew found written uses of the word “network” in the late 1980s. The word then was used as a verb, a word that show action. At that time network meant the connection of railroads or other vehicles used for travel. One publication said it is only a question of time when the railroads will network an area of the American west called the “Pan Handle”. Another publication of the time said complete areas are networked by trolley cars , which are a kind of electric train.Now we often hear network used in connections with broadcasting. The Barnhart Dictionary of New English says that as early as 1914, people used it to mean a connected system of radio stations. This meaning continues to be popular. A more modern use of the word “network” is linked to computers. A network is a system that links a number of computers together. Networks make it possible for people who use computers to share information in costly equipment. Many companies and government agencies share the same computer network. The computers are linked through a main computer or through special lines. Some people are able to do their jobs from their home computers.Computers networks also permit an exchange of unofficial information and discussion between computer users. By linking their computers to telephones, people can buy goods through their computers. They can send messages to friends in many countries.Another modern use of the word “network” concerns relations between people. Ideas and information are exchanged by people who network to share interests and goals. Many Americans network to get better jobs or to meet new friends. Meeting new friends by networking is not work though is fun.BB1b. Getting assignments and research papersc.Attending professors’ “virtual office hours”d.Course lectures.Entertainment b. online gamesCommunications b. toll-free phone callse-commerce orders.原文:The proposed merger of America Online and Time Warner anticipates an age when high-speed Internet access is everything. It will be pipeline for almost all the entertainment, communications and information that people consume.It is an era so distant to most Americans that they can hardly envious it. And yet is already exists. In fact, it is the only world that today’s college students know. Colleges across the United Sates have spent hundreds of millions of dollars in recent years wiring dormitories for high-speed Internet access.When admissions people go out and talk to students these days, the students always asks, “Do you have a high-speed network?” indeed, fro today’s students, having high-speed Internet access is a top priority. They base their housing decisions on it, and restructure their meager student budgets to afford it.College administrators acknowledge that academic pursuits are just a fraction of the activity on their campus networks. The bulk of the traffic consists of data containing music files, instant messages, toll-free phones calls, e-commerce orders, online games and just about anything.Ata a high-rise dorm at the University of Southern California, walking down the hallway on the eighth floor almost any time of dya, you’re likely to hear students in separate rooms shouting at each other --- “You killed me!” as they mow each other down in online games played over the network. Friends from opposite ends of the floor simultaneously make for the elevators. They’ve just messaged each other by computer that it’s time to head off to the dining commons. To them, knocking on someone’s door is an antiquated 20th century tradition.Today’s students regis ter for classes, get their homework assignments, research papers and attend professors’ “virtual office hours” online. Some universities even post course lectures on the Net, so that students can review them any time they wish.Just as one the students p ut it “We live our lives over the Internet.”Part IIIA1.The desktop into our everyday life.2.Experimenting anarchy3.Disappear4.EconmoniesA: we’re gonna take a closer look tonight again at the future of the Internet. Not that we have anything but the va guest idea where it’s going in the long run. One of the truly fascinating and somewhat unsettling aspects of the Internet revolution is howmany technologists and scientists say that the future may hold any number of surprises. So we’re going to inch our w ay into the future.P: At the Internet World Trade Show in New York, they see a future when the web is everywhere.St: Technology is moving from the desktop into our everyday life.P: Imagine work, society, economics, relationships, all transformed, when anyone, anytime can get any message or knowledge or amusement they want, anywhere on the planet without so much as a wire.S2: in many ways, the Internet is the world’s largest experimenting anarchy, because all of a sudden, the citizens of the world are in charge, and no single government or governing body is in charge of what they do.P: Keep in mind that the web, transmitting by satellites, cellphone, cable, goes through no one central location that anyone controls. So many of the boundaries that exist today, political and economic, will be strained as never before. Some scientists say three quarters of the world’s languages will disappear as the net connects isolated places. Already English is what you find on most web pages, blending cultures, no matter how much people try to save them. Economies are changing too. As distance becomes meaningless, white-collar clerical, accounting or administrative jobs are being exported to Asia, just as blue-collar factory jobs were years ago.S3: Imagine, there are 40 or 50 million Indians, not to mention the Chinese, who could deliver office work to the rich countries of the world for two dollars an hour. P: So this massive web of information is both an asset and a threat, changing cultures, economies, and governments, in ways no one can imagine or control.BB1Person to person / real many more real / friends1.Relatives 1. Careers2. 2. Medical cries3.Neighbors4.Colleagues5.By phone 4. Choosing a school or collegeThere’s a professor at the University of Toronto in Canada who has come up witha term to describe the way a lot of us North Americans interact these days. Andnow a big research study confirms it.Barry Wellman’s term is “network individualism”. It’s not the easiest concept to grasp. In fact, the words seems to contradict each other. How can we be individualistic and networked at the same time? You need other people for networks.Here’s what he means. Until the Internet and email came along, our social networks involved flesh-and-blood relatives, friends, neighbors, and colleagues atwork. Some of the interaction was by phone, but it was still voice to voice, person to person, in real time.But the latest study by the Pew Int4rnet and American Life Project confirms that for a lot of people, electronic interaction through the computer has replaced a great deal of social interchange. A lot of folks Pew talked with say that’s a good thing, because of concerns that the Internet was turning us into hermits who shut out other people in favor of a make-believe world on flickering computer screens.To the contrary, the Pew study discovered. The Internet has put us in touch with many more real people than we’d have ever imagined. Helpful people, too. We’re turning to an ever-growing list of cyber friends for advice on career, medical crises, child-rearing, and choosing a school or college. About 60 million Americans told Pew that the Internet plays an important or critical role in helping them deal with major life decisions.So we networked individuals are pretty tricky: We’re keeping more to ourselves, while at the same reaching out to more people, all with just the click of a computer mouse.Part IVDaily communication / broadcast programs / in print / listeningFailure / digit / losses / ignoreRead / Intensive training / regularCommas / sensitivity to numbersUnit 6Part IA:1.Paris3.19324.Berlin6.

In 1936 in Berlin TV cameras broadcast Olympic events for the first time.The 1956 Olympic in Melbourne were the first Olympic Games to be held in the southern hemisphere.Tokyo hosted the first Asian Olympics in 1964.In 1972 for the first time, over one billion TV viewers watched the Munich Olympic opening ceremony.B.BaseballWatch games on television or listen on the radio American footballPlay the sport soccer听力原文:What is the most popular sport in the United States? That might be an impossible question to answer. There are different meanings of the words “most popular”.One way to measure the popularity of a sport is by the number of people who pay to watch it played by professional teams. Experts say the most popular American sport by that measure is baseball. Each professional baseball team plays 162 games every season.Or the popularity of a sport can be measured by the number of people who watch games on television or listen on the radio. Then the answer might be American football.And the popularity of a sport could be measured by the number of people who play the sport instead of just watch it. The answer, in this case, is the game people in the United States call soccer. It says more than 18 million people play soccer in the United States.C1—d 2--- h 3---a 4---e 5---i6---c 7---g 8--- b 9---j 10---f听力原文:Right, everybody. Stand up straight.

Now lower your leg and do the same with your left knee ------ up ---- pull towards you -----and down. Move your feet further apart, bend your elbows, and raise your arms to shoulder level. Squeeze your fists tightly in front of your chest. Now push your elbows back ------ keep your head up! And relax…. Feet together, and put your hands on your hips. Now bend your knees and stretch your arms out in front of you. Hold that position ---- now up. Stretch your arms out to the sides at shoulders height, palms up. Rotate your arms in small circles --- that’s right ---- and now the other way. Now stand with your hands clasped behind your neck and your legs apart. Bend over to the left, slowly, but as far as you can. And slowly up. And down to the right. And up. OK ---- if we’re all warmed up now, let’s begin!Part IIAa.friendly / warm / affectionateb.drunk / aggressive / scream / shout / push people around / smash glasses /monsters2.He finds it difficult to understand why normal, nice people behave so badly atfootball matches.3.enjoy themselves / no aggressive or violence4.rugby / tennis5.They sit there silently throughout.听力原文:M: I have neighbors who, who are very nice, friendly, warm, affectionate people, and live near a football ground. Tottenham, and on Saturday I avoid them, because they come back from the match about 6 o’clock, 7 o’clock, drunk, aggressive --- they scream, they shout, and ….. After the World Cup Fi-, after the World Cup when England got knocked out. I was in my local pub and they came in and they started pushing people around and smashing glasses, and I was really frightened and I walked out, and I don’t understand, I really don’t understand what it is about a football match that can turn ordinary, friendly people into monsters.Section 2JE: but do you think that’s so of a lot of football fans? I mean, I’ve heard other people say they’ve gone to football matches and there’s been absolutely no trouble in the terraces at all, and people have been…. Sat there, you know, quite happily, opposing teams next to each other.J: Oh but it obviously does happen a lot. I mean, you see it on the news. What happens when British fans go to Europe? There’s always trouble, isn’t there ?M: Well, but it’s, it’s not ….it’s… In Brazil, for example, where I’ve also been to football matches, people go to enjoy themselves, and there’ s no aggression or violence, or … there’s nothing like that. It seems peculiarly, it seems particular to England and a few other countries that football provides people with the opportunity to show their most violent, aggressive natures.Section 3A: But perhaps it’s just a function of people getting together in crowds, large groups of people getting into enclosed spaces together.J: But large crowds go to other kinds of matches ---- go to rugby matches, go to Wimbledon to watch tennis…M: Go to pop concerts…J: If they go to Wimbledon to watch tennis, they sit there silently throughout.A: Yes, but it’s interesting that one of the solutions that the police have, think might work is to have all-seater matches, for example, where everybody’s seated…..BI am always amazed when I hear people saying that sport creates goodwill between the nations, and that if only the common people of the world could meet one another at football or cricket, they would have on inclination to meet on the battlefield. Even if one didn’t know from concrete exam ples (1936 Olympic Games, for instance) that international sporting contests led to orgies of hatred, one could deduce it from general principles.Nearly all the sports practiced nowadays are competitive. You play to win, and the game has little meaning unless you do your utmost to win. On the village green, where you pick up sides and no feeling of local patriotism is involved, its it possible to play simply for the fun and exercise: but as soon as the question of prestige arises, as soon as you feel you and some larger unit will be disgraced if you lose, the most savage combative instincts are aroused. Anyone who has played even in a school football match knows this. At the international level, sport is frankly mimic warfare. But the significant thing is not the behavior of the players but the attitude of the spectators: and, behind the spectators, of the nations who work themselves into furies over these absurd contests, and seriously believe ---- at any rate for short periods --- that running, jumping and kicking a ball are tests of national virtue.Part IIIA1.since 19882.in 20013.in 19844.in 19605.by 2004B:1.wheelchair tennis and basketball2. a. teach all kinds of sports to disabled peopleb. for the Paralympics3. the ability to move his legs4. his body and mind again5. a. wireless earphonesb. visual interpreters听力原文:The Olympics and the Paralympics are separate movements.

Four years late, it became an international event as competitors from the Netherlands took part.Then, in 1960, the first Paralympics were held in Rome. Four hundred athletes from 23 countries competed. By 2004, the Paralympics Games in Athens has almost 4,000 athletes from 136 countries.BThe Olympics and the Paralympics are separate movements. But they have always been held in the same year. And since 1988, they have also been held in the same city.The International Olympic Committee and the International Paralympics Committee signed an agreement in 2001 to secure this connection.The Paralympics Games grew out of a sports competition held in 1948 in England.A doctor named Ludwing Guttmann organized it for men who suffered spinal cord injuries in World War Two. Four years late, it became an international event as competitors from the Netherlands took part.Then, in 1960, the first Paralympics were held in Rome. Four hundred athletes from 23 countries competed. By 2004, the Paralympics Games in Athens has almost 4,000 athletes from 136 countries.Athletes may have physical or mental limitations; they may be blind or in wheelchairs. Yet sometimes they perform better than athletes without disabilities. Wheelchair tennis is a popular sport. So is basketball. In fact, there more than 100 professional teams playing wheelchair basketball.Special wheelchairs for athletes are lightweight and designed for quick moves. For people who want to go really fast in their chairs, there is a Power Wheelchair Racing Association.In the State of Utah there is a place called the National Ability Center. It teaches all kinds of sports to people with all kinds of physical and metal disabilities. It even gives friends and family members a chance to try a sport as if they were disabled.A report from The Washington Post wanted to know what it could be like for a blind person to use a climbing wall. So, protected by a safety-line, the newspaper reporter closed his eyes and started to feel for places to put his hands and feet. Trainers on the ground urged him on: “Take your time. You can do it.” Finally he reached the top.At the National Ability Center people can learn to ride horses and mountain bikes. They can try winter mountain sports, and learn scuba diving and other water activities. The center also prepares athletes for the Paralympics.For disabled people intered in yoga, there special stretching exercises. Mattew Sanford knows about these. He has been in a wheelchair ever since a car accident when he lost the ability to move his legs. He was thirteen years old at the time. That was almost thirty years ago.Mattew Sanford says he has had two lives: one before he was thirteen and the other after. He had to learn to live with a new reality. For many years, he was told to build up the strength in his arms and forget about his legs.But he says yoga enabled him to reconnect with thirteen-year-cold boy who lived his body. He says the exercises and special breathing of yoga let him connect his body and mind again.Now Matthew Sanford teaches yoga at his studio in the State of Minnesota. He also travels to talk to people about living with a disability. He says feeling connected to our body is a powerful part of living ---- whether we have a disability or not. Today there are more and more choices of entertainment for people with disabilities. Theaters may offer wireless earphones to make the sound louder for people with limited hearing. Some provide a visual interpreter to describe a performance or a play for a person who is blind or has limited sight.。

Unit 12. Dictation.In this unit, you'll hear 11 items for dictation. Each item will be presented three times, write down every word you hear.Item One.Vocabulary. tactile1. Different people have different ways of learning. We call this your "learning style", and it's based on yoursenses. To learn, you need to use your different senses, hearing, seeing, touching2, etc, to bring information to your brain. Now, most people use one of the senses more than the others. Some people learn best by listening, they are called hearing learners. And others learn best by reading or looking at pictures, they are called visual learners.And some learn best by touching and doing things, they are called tactile learners. Now scientists don't know why people use one sense more than the others, maybe the sense they use most just works best for them.Item two.Vocabulary. Yosemite. Today, we tell about one of the most famous national parks in the United States.It's one of the most beautiful places in the country.Yosemite National Park is a place of extremes.It has high mountains, it has valleys formed by ancient ice that cut deep into the earth millions of years ago.Water from high in the mountains falls in many places to the green valley far bellow1. There are 13 beautiful water falls in Yosemite valley. One of these water falls,Yosemite Falls, is the fifth highest on earth. Yosemite has a beautiful slow-moving river and large grassing areas where you can see wild animals. Item1 three. Vocabulary. Canadian, Mexican. America's national road system makes it possible to drive coast to coast. From the Atlantic Ocean in the east to the Pacific Ocean in the west is a distance of more than 4,000 kilometers. Or you could drive more than 2,000kilometers and go from the Canadian border south to the Mexican border. The highway system has made it possible for people to work in a city and live outside it. And it has made it possible for people to travel easily and quickly from one part of the country to another.Item four.Vocabulary. convey, gaze, volume, wink1, compliment, norms.The way you look at someone conveys important cultural messages. Without you even knowing it, your gaze speaks volumes. The eyes are the window of the soul, according to the old saying. Staring is acceptable in some cultures, but not in others. A wink can mean a compliment or an insult depending on the culture. A direct gaze can be a sign of honesty or an indication of disrespect and rudeness according to the culture that surrounds the gazer. The way of a person gazes thus expresses a strong message, but this message can be easily misunderstood if cultural norms are not shared. Item1 five.Vocabulary. catalogue2. This time of the year, Americans spend lots of time shopping for the holiday gifts for their family members and friends. Many people visit a lot of stores in large shopping centers to buy their gifts. Others order goods by telephone from catalogues3, the magazines that offer company's products. And many are doing their holidayshopping on the Internet.Industry experts say American businesses should have about 184 thousand million dollars in sales during November and December. 63% of people who use the Internet say they expect to buy at least some gifts there.Item Six.Vocabulary. govern, charter1, Lausanne, Oceania. IOC stands for "International Olympic Committee" which governs the Olympics in general. It was founded in Paries on 23 June, 1894. Its headquarters2 are in the Swiss city of Lausanne. Its official languages are English and French. IOC members come from five different continents, Africa, America, Asia, Europe and Oceania. They choose Olympic cities six years in advance. All the Olympic movement's rules are contained in a book called TheOlympic Charter. There is an Olympic Museum and Studies Center in Lausanne. It contains posters, documents, medals, books, photos, paintings, films and sculptures.Item seven.Vocabulary. pedestrian, t mycrack oll1. There are far too may road accidents in this country, too many death and too many people injured. One wonders who are most to blame, drivers or pedestrians2. Some people say that the blame cannot be put fairly without considering the state of the road and the whole transport system. On the other hand, many experts are convinced that the larger part of the blame for the death toll must be put on persons and persons alone. To be fair, pedestrian, drivers and road conditions are all to blame. One looks forward to the day when the motor-car has been replaced by some less dangerous means of transport.Item eight.Vocabulary. fossil, molecule1, hydrogen, carbon, sulfur2. Petroleum3 has been important since ancient times. In Latin, the name means "rock oil". Petroleum is a fossil fuel. The liquid comes from the remains4 of plants and animals that died millions of years ago. These remains were buried deep bellow5 levels of rock over time and under great pressure. molecules6 of hydrogen and carbon. Oil can also contain other elements. This geological process created complex Crude oil or unprocessed petroleum iscalled sour when it contains a lot of sulfur and impurity7. Sour crude requires more refining than sweet crude which is often more valuable.Item nine.Vocabulary. poverty, halt, malaria1. In September of 2000, world leaders set eight goals for bringing millions of people out of poverty. Thesebecame known as the United Nations Millennium2 Development Goals. Among them, cut in half the number of people living on less than 1 dollar a day and halt the spread of AIDS and malaria. The goals also include improvingsurvival rates for pregnant women and young children and educating all children. Working for equality between women and men and dealing3 with environmental needs like safe water also are included. The target date for reaching the goals is 2015.Item 10.Vocabulary. eclipse1. One way to think about time is to imagine a world without time. There could be no movement because time and movement cannot be separated. A world without time could exist only as long as there were no changes, for time and change are linked. We know that time has passed when something changes. In the real world, the world with time, changes never stop. Some changes happen only once in a while like an eclipse of the moon. Others happen repeatedly, like the rising and setting of the sun. Humans always have noted2 natural events that repeat themselves. When people began to count such events, they began to measure time.Item eleven.Vocabulary. migration1, resistance, integrated. The World Future Society has published a special report about forces changing the world. One of them is population growth. The report says the world is expected to have more than 9,000 million people by the middle of this century. Population growth in many industrial nations, however, is expected to drop. But medical progress helps their people to live longer lives. International migration is also shaping the future. The report says there is some resistance but also growing acceptance of cultural differences. The world economy is also becoming more integrated. On the issue of energy, the use of oil is expected to reach 110 million barrels a day by 2020.1 tactile adj.触觉的,有触觉的,能触知的 参考例句:Norris is an expert in the tactile and the tangible.诺里斯创作最精到之处便是, 他描绘的人物使人看得见摸得着。
Let’s begin my talking about an average student entering his or her freshman year. Of course, such a person never really exists, but still it’s convenient to talk about an ―average‖ student for our purposes. Foreign students are often surprised at how poorly prepared American students are when they enter a university. Actually, at very select schools the students are usually very well prepared, but at less selective schools, they may not be as well prepared as students in your country are. Schools in the States simply admit a lot more students than is usual in most other countries. Also, most young American university students have not traveled in other countries and are not very well-versed in international matters and do not know a lot about people from other countries. Foreign students usually find them friendly but not very well-informed about their countries or cultures. What kind of academic experiences will this so-called ―average‖ student have? The average undergraduate student takes five classes a semester and is in class for 15 hours a week. If her or she takes a class that has a laboratory, this will require tow or three more hours. Many introductory undergraduate classes are given in large lectures of 100 or more students. However, many of these classes will have small discussion groups of 15 to 20 students that meet once a week. In these smaller groups, a teaching assistant will lead a discussion to help classify points in the lectures. Other kinds of classes – for example, language classes – will be much smaller so that students can practice language. In general, American professors are informal and friendly with their students, and, as much as possible, they expect and invite participation in the form of discussion. A large amount of reading and other work is often assigned to be done outside class, and students are expected to take full responsibility for completing these assignments and asking questions in class about those areas they don’t understand. As a rule of thumb, students spend two to three hours preparing for each hour they spend in class. American professors often encourage their students to visit them during office hours, especially if the students are having problems in the class. A2 II. Examinations / quizzes III. Graduate school / Seminars / some area of interest / a research paper Let’s move on now to discuss student obligations in a typical American class. These obligations are usually set down in the course syllabus. A syllabus is generally handed out to students on the first or second class meeting. A good syllabus will give students a course outline that mentions all the topics to be covered in class. It will also contain all the assignments and the dates they should be completed by. An average university course of one semester might have three examinations or two examinations and a paper. The dates of the examinations and what the examinations will cover should be on the syllabus. If a paper id required, the date it is due should also be in the syllabus. The professor may also decide that he or she will be giving quizzes during the semester, either announced or unannounced. For students coming from a system where there is one examination in each subject at the end of the year, all this testing can be a little surprising at first. By the by, maybe this would be a good place for me to mention the issue of attendance. Another real difference in our system is out attendance policies. Perhaps you come from a system where attendance is optional. Generally speaking, American professors expect regular attendance and may even grade you down if you are absent a lot. All this information should be on your syllabus, along with the professor’s office number and office hours. I have only a couple of hours left, and I’d like to use them to talk about how graduate school is somewhat different from undergraduate school. Of course, it’s much more difficult to enter graduate school, and most students are highly qualified and high motivated. Students in graduate school are expected to do much more independent work than those in undergraduate schools, withregularly scheduled exams, etc. some classes will be conducted as seminars. In a seminar class, there may be no exams, but students are expected to read rather widely on topics and be prepared for thorough discussion of them in class. Another possibility in graduate classes is that in addition to readings done by all students, each student may also be expected to work independently in some area of interest and later make a presentation that summarizes what her or she has learned. Usually each student then goes on to write a paper on what he or she has researched to turn in to the professor for a grade. I hope that today’s lecture has given you some idea about student life on an American campus and that you have noticed some difference between our system and yours.

学英语简单吗?肯定会有许多学生说:“难死了”。
为什么有好多学生对英语的学习都感到头疼呢?答案只有一个:“不得法。
” 英语与汉语一样都是一种语言,为什么你说汉语会如此流利?那是因为你置身于一个汉语环境中,如果你在伦敦呆上半年,保准说起英语来会非常流利。
但很多中学生没有很好的英语环境,那么你可以自己设置一个英语环境,坚持“多说”、“多听”、“多读”、“多写”,那么你的英语成绩肯定会很出色。
一、多“说”。
自己多创造机会与英语教师多讲英语,见了同学,尤其是和好朋友在一起时尽量用英语去问候,谈心情……这时候你需随身携带一个英汉互译小词典,遇到生词时查一下这些生词,也不用刻意去记,用的多了,这个单词自然而然就会记住。
千万别把学英语当成负担,始终把它当成一件有趣的事情去做。
或许你有机会碰上外国人,你应大胆地上去跟他打招呼,和他谈天气、谈风景、谈学校……只是别问及他的年纪,婚史等私人问题。
尽量用一些你学过的词汇,句子去和他谈天说地。
不久你会发现与老外聊天要比你与中国人谈英语容易的多。
因为他和你交谈时会用许多简单词汇,而且不太看重说法,你只要发音准确,准能顺利地交流下去。
只是你必须要有信心,敢于表达自己的思想。
如果没有合适的伙伴也没关系,你可以拿过一本书或其它什么东西做假想对象,对它谈你一天的所见所闻,谈你的快乐,你的悲伤等等,长此坚持下去你的口语肯定会有较大的提高。
二、多“听”寻找一切可以听英语的机会。
别人用英语交谈时,你应该大胆地去参与,多听听各种各样人的发音,男女老少,节奏快的慢的你都应该接触到,如果这样的机会少的话,你可以选择你不知内容的文章去听,这将会对你帮助很大,而你去听学过的课文的磁带,那将会对你的语言语调的学习有很大的帮助。
三、多“读”。
“读”可以分为两种。
一种是“默读”。
每天给予一定时间的练习将会对你提高阅读速度有很大的好处,读的内容可以是你的课本,但最好是一些有趣的小读物,因为现在的英语高考越来越重视阅读量和阅读速度。

Unit 6 For the Glory of SportPart I. Warming upSection A✧Women competed in Olympic events for the first time in Paris in 1900.✧In 1924, the first Winter Games were held in Chamonix.✧In 1932the first Olympic village was built to accommodate athletes inLos Angeles.✧In 1936 in Berlin TV cameras broadcast Olympic events for the first time.✧The 1956 Olympics in Melbourne were the first Olympic Games to beheld in the southern hemisphere.✧Tokyo hosted the first Asian Olympics in 1964.✧In 1972for the first time, over one billion TV viewers watched theMunich Olympic opening ceremony.Section BWhat is the most popular sport in the United States? That may be an impossible question to answer. There are different meanings of the words “most popular.”●One way to measure the popularity of a sport is by the number of peoplewho pay to watch it played by professional teams. Experts say the mostbaseball team plays 162 games every season.●Or the popularity of a sport can be measured by the number of people whowatch games on television or listen on the radio. Then the answer might be American football.●And the popularity of a sport could be measured by the number of peoplewho play the sport instead of just watch it. The answer, in this case, is the game people in the United States call soccer. It says more than 18 million people play soccer in the United States.Section CRight, everybody. Stand up straight. Now bend forward and down to touch your toes— and up — and down — and up. Arms by your sides. Raise your right knee as high as you can. Hold your leg with both hands and pull your knee back against your body. Keep your backs straight. Now lower your leg and do the same with your left knee — up — pull towards you — and down. Move your feet further apart, bend your elbows raise your arms to shoulder level. Squeeze your fists tightly in front of your chest. Now push your elbows back — keep your head up! And relax ... Feet together, and put your hands on your hips. Now bend your knees and stretch your arms out in front of you. Hold that position — now up. Stretch your arms out to the sides at shoulder height, palms up. Rotate your arms in small circles —that’s right — and now the other way. Now stand with your hands clasped behind yourneck and your legs apart. Bend over to but as far as you can. And slowly up. And down to up. OK —if we’re all warmed up now, let’s begin!Part II. The Sporting SpiritSection ASection 11.In this section, the speaker talks about his neighbors. Write down the keywords that he uses to describe them on different occasions.a. in daily life: nice friendly, warm/ affectionateb. after a football match: drunk / aggressive / scream / shout / push people around / smash glasses / monsters2.From what you have heard, what inferences can you draw about thespeaker’s attitude towards football fans?He finds it difficult to understand why normal, nice people behave so badly at football matches.Section 23.According to the third speaker in this section, how do Brazilians behavewhen they go to football matches?enjoy themselves/ no aggression or violenceSection 3large crowds go to besides football ones?Rugby/ tennis5.When people go to Wimbledon, how do they behave?They sit there silently throughout.TapescriptsSection 1.M: I have neighbors who, who are very nice, friendly, warm, affectionate people, and I live near a football ground, Tottenham, and on Saturday I avoid them, because they come back from the match about 6 o’clock, 7 o’clock drunk, aggressive — they scream, they shout, and ... After the World Cup Fi-, after the World Cup when England got knocked out, I was in my local pub and they came in and they started pushing people around and smashing glasses, and I was really frightened and I walked out, and I don’t understand, I really don’t understand what it is about a football match that can turn ordinary, friendly people into monsters. Section 2.JE: But do you think that’s so of a lot of football fans? I mean, I’ve heard other people say they’ve gone to football matches and there’s been absolutely no trouble in the terraces at all, and people have been…satJ: Oh but it obviously does happen a lot. I mean, you see it on the news.What happens when British fans go to Europe? There’s always trouble, isn’t there?M: Well, but it’s, it’s not ... it’s ... In Brazil, for example, where I’ve a lso been to football matches, people go to enjoy themselves,and there’s no aggression or violence, or ... there’s nothing like that. It seems peculiarly, it seems particular to England and a few other countries that football provides people with the opportunity to show their most violent, aggressive natures.Section 3.A: But perhaps it’s just a function of people getting together in crowds, large groups of people getting into enclosed spaces together.J: But large crowds go to other kinds of matches — go to rugby matches, go to Wimbledon to watch tennis…M: Go to pop concerts…J: If they go to Wimbledon to watch tennis, they sit there silently throughout.A: Yes, but it’s interesting that one of the solutions that the police have, think might work is to have all-seater matches, for example, where everybody’s seatedSection BExtracurricular ActivitiesI am always amazed when I hear people saying that sport creates goodwill between the nations, and that if only the common peoples of the world could meet one another at football or cricket, they would have no inclination to meet on the battlefield. Even if one didn’t know from concrete examples (the 1936 Olympic Games, for instance) that international sporting contests led to orgies of hatred, one could deduce it from general principles.Nearly all the sports practiced nowadays are competitive. You play to win, and the game has little meaning unless you do your utmost to win. On the village green, where you pick up sides and no feeling of local patriotism is involved, it is possible to play simply for the fun and exercise: but as soon as the question of prestige arises, as soon as you feel you and some larger unit will be disgraced if you lose, the most savage combative instincts are aroused. Anyone who has played even in a school football match knows this. At the international level, sport is frankly mimic warfare. But the significant thing is not the behavior of the players but the attitude of the spectators; and, behind the spectators, of the nations who work themselves into furies over these absurd contests, and seriously believe — at any rate for short periods — that running, jumping and kicking a ball are tests of national virtue.Part III Sports and Entertainment ChoicesAThe Olympics and the Paralympics are separate movements. But they have always been held in the same year. And since1988, they have also been held in the same city. The International Olympic Committee and the International Paralympic Committee signed an agreement in 2001 to secure this connection.The Paralympic Games grew out of a sports competition held in 1948 in England. A doctor named Ludwig Guttmann organized it for men who suffered spinal cord injuries in World War Two. Four years later, it became an international event as competitors from the Netherlands took part.Then, in 1960, the first Paralympics were held in Rome. Four hundred athletes from 23 countries competed. By 2004, the Paralympic Games in Athens had almost 4,000 athletes from 136 countries.B1. wheelchair tennis and basketball2. a. teach all kinds of sports to disabled peopleb. give healthy people a chance to try a sport as if they were disabledc. prepare athletes for the Paralympics3. the ability to move his legs5. a. wireless earphonesb. visual interpretersc.

Four hundred athletes from 23 countries competed. By 2004, the Paralympic Games in Athens had almost 4,000 athletes from 136 countries.Athletes may have physical or mental limitations; they may be blind or in wheelchairs. Yet sometimes they perform better than athletes without disabilities.Wheelchair tennis is a popular sport. So is basketball. In fact, there areSpecial wheelchairs for athletes are lightweight and designed for quick moves. For people who want to go really fast in their chairs, there is a Power Wheelchair Racing Association.In the State of Utah there is a place called the National Ability Center. It teaches all kinds of sports to people with all kinds of physical and mental disabilities. It even gives friends and family members a chance to try a sport as if they were disabled.A reporter from The Washington Pout wanted to know what it would be like for a blind person to use a climbing wall. So, protected by a safety line, the newspaper reporter closed his eyes and started to feel for places to put his hands and feet. Trainers on the ground urged him on: “Take your time. You can do it.” Finally he reached the top.At the National Ability Center people can learn to ride horses and mountain bikes. They can try winter mountain sports, and learn scuba diving and other water activities. The center also prepares athletes for the Paralympics.For disabled people interested in yoga, there are special stretching exercises. Matthew Sanford knows about these. He has been in a wheel-chair ever since a car accident when he lost the ability to move his legs. He was thirteen years old at the time. That was almost thirty years ago.and the other after. He had to learn to live with a new reality. For many years, he was told to build up the strength in his arms and forget about his legs.But he says yoga enabled him to reconnect with the thirteen-year-old boy who loved his body. He says the exercises and special breathing of yoga let him connect his body and mind again.Now Matthew Sanford teaches yoga at his studio in the State of Minnesota. He also travels to talk to people about living with a disability. He says feeling connected to our body is a powerful part of living—whether we have a disability or not.Today there are more and more choices of entertainment for people with disabilities.Theaters may offer wireless earphones to make the sound louder for people with limited hearing. Some provide a visual interpreter to describe a performance or a play for a person who is blind or has limited sight.And some movie theaters offer a new device called MoPix,for Motion Picture Access. For a person unable to hear the movie, it shows the words the actors are saying.

My youngest son shall take a ninth. Shed no blood. Do not kill. You must obey your father's will.”The three sons were puzzled. At school, they had been well-taught, but not so well that they could divide seventeen by two, seventeen by three, seventeen by nine, and still obey their father's will.What did they do ? They went to a wise man and asked his advice. “I will give you a horse,”said the wise man, “now go away and obey your father's will.”They took the horse and went away. They now had eighteen horses.

Today we’re going to be looking at different language learning styles. You may be surprised to find that there are different ways of going about learning languages, none of which is necessarily better than the others. Researchers have identified four basic learner “types”–the communicative learner, the analytical learner, the authority-oriented learner and the concrete learner. Communicative learners like to learn by watching and listening to native speakers. At home, they like to learn by watching TV and videos. They like to learn new words by hearing them. In class, they like to learn by having conversations. Now, concrete learners like to lean by playing games, by looking at pictures and videos in class, talking in pairs, and by listening to cassettes at home and school. Now, authority-oriented learners, on the other hand, like the teacher to explain everything. They like to write everything down in their notebook, and they like to have a textbook. They like to learn new words by seeing them. And finally, we have analytical learners. These learners like to learn by studying grammar. At home, they like to learn by studying English books, and they like to study by themselves. They like to find their own mistakes. Now, of course, it’s unusual for a person to be exclusively one “type” rather than another. Most of us are mixtures of styles. What type of learner do you think you are?Part II A3GCSE examinations students / higher educationstudent/ second year / high school / college general exam / School Certificatesitting University Entrance Examination bachelor’s degree: 3/ 4 yearsmaster’s degree: another year or two doctorate: a further 3-7 yearsWell, in Britain, from the ages of five to about eleven you start off at a primary school, and then from eleven to sixteen you go on to a secondary school or a comprehensive school and at sixteen you take GCSE examinations. After this, some children take vocational courses or even start work. Others stay on at school for another two years to take A levels. And at the age of eighteen, after A levels, they might finish their education or go on to a course of higher education at a college or university, and that’s usually for three years.Well, it depends on what state you’re in but most kids in the United States start school at about six when they go to elementary school and that goes from the first grade up to the sixth grade. Somekids go to a kindergarten the year before that. Then they go on to junior high school, that’s about eleven, and that’s the seventh, eighth and ninth grades. And then they go on to senior high school around age fourteen starting in the tenth grade and finishing in the twelfth grade usually. Some students will leave school at sixteen and they’ll start work, but most of them stay on to graduate from high school at age eighteen. In the first year at high school or college students are called “freshmen”, in the second they’re called “sophomores”, in the third year we call them “juniors”and in the fourth year they’re called “seniors”. Now a lot of high school graduates then go to college or university and they do a four-year first degree course. Some of them might go to junior college which is a two-year course.Well, in Australia, well most states anyway, children start their primary education at five after perhaps a brief time in kindergarten. They will stay at primary school until they’re about eleven, then they’ll either stay there or go to an intermediate school for a couple of years. Then they start high school usually twelve or thirteen, which you start in the third form. Now, after three years at high school you sit a general exam, some states call it School Certificate and that is a sort of general qualification and that if a sort of general qualification. After that you can leave school at sixteen or you can go on and sit your University Entrance Examination, which then gives you entrée into a university or it’s another useful qualification, and from then on you go to various sorts of higher education.Education in Canada is a provincial responsibility, but schools are administered by local school boards.Kindergarten is for children who are four or five years old. Children begin formal full-day schooling in Grade 1, when they are about six years old. They must stay in school at least until they are sixteen. However, most students continue to finish high school. Some go to college or university. Each year of schooling represents one grade. (The school year extends from the beginning of September to the end of June.) Elementary school includes kindergarten to about Grade 8. Secondary school (or high school) may start in Grade 8, 9, or 10 and it usually continues until Grade 12.In Canada, students may go to university or to a community college. If they want to learn skills for specific job, they attend college for one or four years to get a diploma or certificate. For example, lab technicians, child-care workers, and hotel managers go to college. Universities offer degree programs as well as training professions, such as law, medicine, and teaching.Universities offer three main levels of degrees. Students earn a bachelor’s degree after three or four years of study. A master’s degree can take another year or two. A doctorate may take a further three to seven years to complete.B1 Idioms / vocabulary / French / spelling / pronunciationB2 1. F 2. T 3. FI – Interviewer P – ProfessorI: And now we have an interview with Professor J. T. Lingo, Professor of Linguistics at Chimo University, who is here to talk to us about the growing business of teaching English. Good morning, professor Lingo.P: Good morning.I: I understand that teaching English is becoming “big business” all around the world.P: It seems that language schools are springing up everywhere.I: Why is that?P: With the move toward a global economy, English has become the most widely used language in the world. It is the language of business, aviation, science and international affairs and people find that they must learn English to compete in those fields.I: And do people find English an easy language to learn?P: Well, every language has something about it that other people find difficult to learn. English is such a hodgepodge of different languages – it’s essentially Germanic but a lot of its vocabulary comes from French, and technical words stem from Latin and Greek. This feature makes English fairly adaptable – which is a good thing for a world language – but it causes irregularity in spelling and pronunciation.I: English spelling baffles me, too.P: English also has the largest vocabulary. Often there are words for the same thing, one is Anglo-Saxon and one from the French – like “buy” which is Anglo-Saxon and “purchase” which is from the French. The French word often has more prestige.I: Anglo-Saxon?P: That’s the word for Old English. The Norman Conquest in 1066 brought the French language to Britain and helped English evolve into the English it is today.I: Is there anything else particularly difficult about English?P: Well, the idioms in informal English pose a problem for some students.I: Informal English?P: As with any language, there are different varieties: slang, colloquial. Formal, written, as well as the different dialects – British, American and Canadian English.I: And how is Canadian English different from American and British?P: Canadian English is closer to American in pronunciation and idiom. Some of our words and our spellings do reflect British usage, however. We wouldn’t use the British term “lorry” for truck, but we have kept the “o-u-r” spellings in words such as “honour” and “colour”.I: This has been very interesting. I’m afraid we’re out of time. It has been a pleasure talking to you.Part III University Life A1 I. Age / Foreign student population II. 15 hrs (+2 or 3 for lab) / Discussion group: 15-20 / much smaller / informal, friendly / 2-3 hrs: 1 hrToday I’d like to give you some idea about how life at an American university or college might be different from the way it is in your country. To be sure, the student body on a U. S. campus is a pretty diverse group of people. First of all, you will find students of all ages. Although most students start college at around the age of 18, you will see students in their 30s and 40s and even occasionally in their 60s and 70s. Students on a U.S. campus come from a wide variety of socioeconomic backgrounds. Many students work at least part-time, some of them work full-time. Many students live in dormitories on campus, some have their own apartments usually with other students, and others live at home. Some colleges and universities have a very diverse student population with many racial and ethnic minorities. Some schools have a fairly large foreign student population. So you can see that one meets all kinds of people on a U.S. college or university campus. Now that you have some general idea of differences in the student population, I’d like to talk a few minutes about what I think an average student is and then discuss with you what a typical class might be like.Let’s begin my talking about an average student entering his or her freshman year. Of course, such a person never really exists, but still it’s convenient to talk about an “average”student for ourpurposes. Foreign students are often surprised at how poorly prepared American students are when they enter a university. Actually, at very select schools the students are usually very well prepared, but at less selective schools, they may not be as well prepared as students in your country are. Schools in the States simply admit a lot more students than is usual in most other countries. Also, most young American university students have not traveled in other countries and are not very well-versed in international matters and do not know a lot about people from other countries. Foreign students usually find them friendly but not very well-informed about their countries or cultures.What kind of academic experiences will this so-called “average”student have? The average undergraduate student takes five classes a semester and is in class for 15 hours a week. If her or she takes a class that has a laboratory, this will require tow or three more hours. Many introductory undergraduate classes are given in large lectures of 100 or more students. However, many of these classes will have small discussion groups of 15 to 20 students that meet once a week. In these smaller groups, a teaching assistant will lead a discussion to help classify points in the lectures. Other kinds of classes – for example, language classes – will be much smaller so that students can practice language. In general, American professors are informal and friendly with their students, and, as much as possible, they expect and invite participation in the form of discussion. A large amount of reading and other work is often assigned to be done outside class, and students are expected to take full responsibility for completing these assignments and asking questions in class about those areas they don’t understand. As a rule of thumb, students spend two to three hours preparing for each hour they spend in class. American professors often encourage their students to visit them during office hours, especially if the students are having problems in the class.A2 II. Examinations / quizzesIII. Graduate school / Seminars / some area of interest / a research paperLet’s move on now to discuss student obligations in a typical American class. These obligations are usually set down in the course syllabus. A syllabus is generally handed out to students on the first or second class meeting. A good syllabus will give students a course outline that mentions all the topics to be covered in class. It will also contain all the assignments and the dates they should be completed by. An average university course of one semester might have three examinations or two examinations and a paper. The dates of the examinations and what the examinations will cover should be on the syllabus. If a paper id required, the date it is due should also be in the syllabus. The professor may also decide that he or she will be giving quizzes during the semester, either announced or unannounced. For students coming from a system where there is one examination in each subject at the end of the year, all this testing can be a little surprising at first. By the by, maybe this would be a good place for me to mention the issue of attendance. Another real difference in our system is out attendance policies. Perhaps you come from a system where attendance is optional. Generally speaking, American professors expect regular attendance and may even grade you down if you are absent a lot. All this information should be on your syllabus, along with the professor’s office number and office hours.I have only a couple of hours left, and I’d like to use them to talk about how graduate school is somewhat different from undergraduate school. Of course, it’s much more difficult to enter graduate school, and most students are highly qualified and high motivated. Students in graduate school are expected to do much more independent work than those in undergraduate schools, withregularly scheduled exams, etc. some classes will be conducted as seminars. In a seminar class, there may be no exams, but students are expected to read rather widely on topics and be prepared for thorough discussion of them in class. Another possibility in graduate classes is that in addition to readings done by all students, each student may also be expected to work independently in some area of interest and later make a presentation that summarizes what her or she has learned. Usually each student then goes on to write a paper on what he or she has researched to turn in to the professor for a grade.I hope that today’s lecture has given you some idea about student life on an American campus and that you have noticed some difference between our system and yours.B2 to make mistakes / every new thing / the language/ Working outside the classroomPassive / the teach / stick his neck out / more likely to be right than himselfHow would you describe a good student or a bad student, sort of things they do or don’t do in the classroom?He’s eager to experiment with every new thing that he learns, whether it be a structure of a function or a new word, he immediately starts trying to use it.He’s interested in the mistakes he makes, he’s not afraid to make them.He’s not simply interested in having it corrected and moving on?He plays with language.I’ve done this chapter I know this, without trying to experiment at all, without really testing himself.He’s usually passive, he won’t speak up much in the classroom. He’ll rarely ask you why this …Just sort of accepts what you give him and doesn’t do anything more with it.… and in a test he’s the one person who’s likely to suddenly realize that he wasn’t too sure about that after all.And peep over at his neighbor’s paper.An alternative learning strategy.He invariably decides that the other person is more likely to be right than himself. That’s the result of this sort of unwillingness to make mistakes and stick his neck out.That characterizes the good or bad learner?He’ll do more off his own bat as well, he won’t rely entirely on the teacher.He’ll work outside the classroom as well as in it.Students who make most progress are first of all those who experiment and secondly those who read books.Part IV University Campus A2. the History Department3. the Psychology Department4. the Library5. the Education Department6. the Philosophy Department7. the Geography Department8. the Sports Ground9. the Foreign Languages Department 10. the Chinese Department 11. the Physics Department 12. the Mathematics Department 13. the Chemistry Department 14. the Clinic 15. the Auditorium 16. the Administration BuildingLook at the map.

But birth control programs are beginning to have an impact. Demographers predict that by the middle of the new century the global count will level off at something under ten billion.

If you look at the biggest cities in 1950, seven out of the top ten were in the developed countries but by the year 2000, the developing countries will have eight out of the top ten. New York, which in 1950 was number one with a population of around 12 million, will only be the sixth largest city in the world but with an extra 2 million.I: And London?E: London, which was number two, won’t even be in the top ten. Its population in 1950, by the way, was about 10 million.I: And why is this happening? Why are people moving to the big cities from the country in the developing countries?E: The reasons are complex but many are moving to look for work. And the problems this creates are enormous. It’s estimated that 26 million people will be living in Mexico City by the year 2000, with Sao Paulo in Brazil not far behind.I: I t’s difficult to believe.E: I know. Rio de Janeiro will have a population of a mere 13 million. Well, just imagine the kinds of difficulties this is going to cause in terms of health, transport and education.I: Yes. What about the cities of Asia? Will they be experiencing a similar sort of growth?E: In some cases, yes. Calcutta in India which was No. 10 in the league in 1950 is expected to be the fourth biggest city in the world with a population of 16 million- quadrupling its size in just 50 years. Bombay and Delhi too are expected to be in the top ten.I: What about Japan?E: Ah! Well, Tokyo was number three in 1950 and that’s where it’ll be at the beginning of the nextcentury, although its population will have trebled to about 18 million. Looking at the other major cities in Asia, Shanghai and Seoul will be in the top ten as well but, perhaps surprisingly, not Beijing or Hong Kong.I: Now, if we could turn our attention to home, what about the trend of people moving out of the cities…Part IV skills /the main idea/what/recognize/central / important/direction/ purpose/inform/compare/answer/stated/a topic sentence/ first/ details/ difficult/ persuade/ end/ implied/ hinted at/a wholeUnit 3 Traveling from Place to Place PartⅠABA912/11:20/17 BA877/11:20/14 BA292/11:25/19 TW695/11:30/16 4 EA831/11:35/24 BA838/9 IB290/11:35/15 LH039/11:40/9 BA666/11:40/18 AI141/6 BA560/22 Last call for British airways flight BA912 for Tokyo.
