    An e—book (also referred to as an electronic book, e—book, or e—book) is a digital version of a print book that you download and read. But if you want to read an e—book , you must have an E—book Reader, which is a kind of free software used by your computer. Make sure you have instal1ed the appropriate Reader before you download your e—book from the Internet.The software allows you to turn the words on the screen into the size you like. It also helps you turn pages and change your viewing options. E —books are a fun alternative to regular books. You can download them to any computers and create your library of hundreds of titles. If you load them onto your portable computer, you can take them with you when you travel. Some e—books are even interactive! Best of all, when you order an e—book, there is no waiting and no shipping charges.

    26.

    答案:C

    解析:A项原文没有提及;根据文中“But if you want to read an e—book , you must have an E—book Reader, which is a kind of free software used by your computer.”和“Make sure you have instal1ed the appropriate Reader before you download your e—book from the Internet.”可知,电子书是不能直接在网页上阅读的,需要下载一个阅读器,故B项错误,C项正确。

    27.

    答案:A

    解析:根据文中“The software allows you to turn the words on the screen into the size you like. It also helps you turn pages and change your viewing options.”可知,软件的作用有:按照读者喜好调整屏幕上文字的大小,翻页,改变阅读选择。所以这个软件的主要作用还是阅读已经下载的电子书,选A。

    解析:根据文中“If you load them onto your portable computer, you can take them with you when you travel.”可知,A项正确。B项断章取义,e-books Reader是一个阅读器,只能用来阅读电子书,不能订阅;根据“when you order an e—book, there is no waiting and no shipping charges”可知,C项错误;根据“The amount of time it takes to download your e —book depends on the speed of your connection and the size of your e— book.”可知,D项说法不准确。

    29.

    答案:C

    解析:根据文章最后一句可知,C项正确,电子书下载时间决定于它的大小。根据“An e—book (also referred to as an electronic book, e—book, or e—book) is a digital version of a print book”可知,A项错误;根据“The software allows you to turn the words on the screen into the size you like.”可知,电子书字体的大小是可以改变的,B项错误;根据“E —books are a fun alternative to regular books. ”可知,D项错误。

    30.

    解析:文章第一句对e—book进行解释和定义,接下来对e—books具体使用方法等内容进行介绍,据此可知这篇文章主要内容就是介绍e—books,故选B。

  • 第4题:

    (阅读理解题)How do you acquire confidence? Speak English with friends first because with them you can speak freely without feeling shy.Then try your ability with your teachers and with foreigners if you have an opportunity to meet them.Don’t be afraid of mistakes.Nobody is above mistakes; and don’t be afraid to ask questions about things you don’t know.This is the way to acquire knowledge.Not until you begin to think in English rather than Chinese can you be said to know the language.This is not a superhuman achievement—only a question of practice.Thinking in English will help you to truly understand how the language is spoken.Read novels to build vocabulary, thus gaining confidence.Start with small volumes of 30 to 40 pages.Write down any new word you discover and look it up in your dictionary.Learn how to use the new word by making sentences with it.Bring the word to your teacher to have it explained more fully.Don’t be angry when you learn a new word today and forget it tomorrow.To forget is a natural process; to remember is unnatural and requires effort.Of 10 new words learnt in a day, only two or three will remain in the memory.The others you will forget and have to relearn.When learning them for the second time, they will come more easily, and this time you probably will remember nearly all of them.A small minority, however, may elude you again, and have to be learnt for a third time.Constant repetition is necessary.

    (1).You can gain confidence by speaking English with the following people but ______?

    A、 foreigners

    B、 teachers

    C、 family members

    D、 friends

    (2).When can you be said to know English?

    Teaching aims:
    Knowledge aim:
    Students will master the meaning and usage of the structure “be doing” through reading the passage.
    Ability aim:
    Students will apply the “be doing” to communicate with each other in real situation.
    Emotional aim:
    Students will be more interest in learning English.
    Key and difficult point:
    Key Point: Students will master how to improve reading abilities through finding main idea and details.
    Difficult Point: Students will apply the “be doing” to communicate with each other in real situation.
    Teaching procedure:
    Step 1: Warming-up
    1. Greetings.
    2. Play a riddle and students guess the animals, such as “long nose, big ears and strong body——elephant”, then lead to the topic of “let’s go to the zoo to see what animals are doing”.
    Step 2: Pre-reading
    1. According to the title, students have a prediction about what kinds of animals are mentioned in the passage.
    Step 3: While-reading
    1. Fast reading: students read the passage fast and figure out what kinds of animals are mentioned in the passage then make a list.
    2. Careful reading: students read the passage carefully and answer the question: what are the animals doing? Then fill in the blanks.



    1. How do you improve students’ interest in learning English?
    2. What principle should you use in the post-reading step?


    答案:
    解析:
    1.
    In the process of English teaching, teachers should enrich the teaching approaches, not only teach students through "listening, speaking, reading", but also integrate situational teaching, so that students can feel the diversity of teaching and learning.
    Besides, teachers can make use of the form of cooperative study and organize various practice activities in the classroom to create an atmosphere of mutual assistance and cooperation, so that students have positive sense of learning.
    2.
    First, we should persist in the communicative principle. In the production step of reading
    class, students should be organized in groups to cultivate their speaking ability and communicative ability. In this way, we can reach the New Curriculum Standard.
    Then, we should insist on the truth principle. That means we should provide more real materials that are closet to students’ real life, such as situation creation like what I did in this class. In this way, students’ interest can be aroused and they can apply what they’ve learned in real communication.

    The letter you write is your personal representative. It takes your place when circumstances make it impossible for you to be there in person. It goes to the hospital to cheer a sick friend. It goes to your hostess to thank her for entertaining you. It conveys your best wishes, congratulations, condolences--when you are not able to do so in person.

    A friendly letter is like a visit on paper. If you "hate to write letters", it's simply because you have not yet discovered the fun it can be to write and receive letters that are good talk on paper. Many people neglect to answer letters from relatives and friends. To a letter unanswered is like saying, "I don't think you are worth the time and effort it takes to write a letter."

    Blackboard design:



    1. Please talk about your blackboard.
    2. Why did you design your post-reading activities in this way?


    答案:
    解析:
    1.
    Thanks for your question. As we all know, blackboard design is very important for teaching. Firstly, it can help teacher present the teaching content. Students can understand the main content of the lesson easily. Secondly, it helps students to break through teaching key and difficult points. Students can have enough time to think and observe the knowledge. Thirdly, it helps student to take notes and develop good writing habits. Based on these functions, my blackboard design can be divided into three parts. The title is very simple and clear. And then is the main topic of the passage, students can easily understand the task of today’s lesson. The last part is the key point of the lesson. I present the basic format of argumentation, which takes more time in class. By doing so, students can easily master the argumentation format and write their own outline according to it.
    2.
    Thanks for your question. The purpose of language learning is to communicate. In my opinion, there are only two ways to communicate, that is, speaking and writing. In this class, I designed it as a reading lesson. After reading the article, students had a good understanding of the topic and the basic format of the article. So I designed a discussion first. Students could express their views freely on the topic. Of course, the format of argumentation was taught in class, so students were supposed to practice it. So I organized the second activity, that is, wrote an outline. Students could write their own outlines according to what they have discussed before. In this way, the input and output of this lesson will be more reasonable and diverse.

  • 第21题:

    There are several ways you can find out about the countries and places you wish to visit. You can talk to friends who have travelled to the places. Or you can go and see a colour film. Or you can read travel books.
    It would seem that there are three kinds of travel books. The first are those that give a personal, subjective (主观的) account of travels which the author has actually made himself, if they are informative and have a good index (索引), then they can be useful to you when you are planning your travels. The second kind are those books whose purpose is to give a purely objective (客观的)description of things to be done and seen. If a well-read, cultured person has written such a book, then it is even more useful. It can be sorted as a selected guide book. The third kind are those books which are called "a guide" to some place or other. If they are good, they will, in addition to their factual information, give an analysis or an explanation. Like the first kind they can be inspiring and interesting. But their basic purpose is to help the reader who wishes to plan in the most practical way.
    Whatever kind of travel book you choose you must make sure that it does not describe everything as "wonderful", "excellent" or "magical". You must also note its date of publication because travel is a very practical affair and many things change quickly in the twenty-first century. Finally, you should make sure that the contents are well presented and easy to find.This passage is about ().

    As Iraq struggles to recover from conflict and severe economic hardship to a society that is once again able to stand on its own two feet, the United nations has convened a meeting on 23, June to ensure that the Iraqis immediate humanitarian needs are met and the transition to longer-term reconstruction is fully underway by the beginning of the next year.
    Indeed, such actions and achievements in responding to anticipated humanitarian needs in Iraq have played a crucial role in averting a much larger potential crisis. Even as the conflict was underway, national UN staff continued to carry out their duties. Aid activities under the Oil for Food Programme in Iraq’s three northern govern orates never stopped.1 National staff of the World Food Programme worked to open corridors from Turkey, Jordan and Iran into Iraq.2UNICEF local staff delivered humanitarian supplies and worked to maintain the supply of potable water.3WHO local staff supported Iraqi health professionals.4 Under the Oil for Food Programme, UNDP worked to maintain and restore electric power supplies, especially in the north.5
    As of today, more than 800, 000 metric tonnes of food—enough to feed almost all of Iraq’s 27 million people for two months have been dispatched to Iraq.6 An average of 3.5 million litres of water per day is being tankered7 to hospitals, health centres and communities in the south and in the Baghdad area. Basic medicines, vaccines and health supplies have been delivered8 to facilities throughout the country. Agencies have helped repair and restore water, sanitation and power facilities, as well as schools, which have also been receiving essential education supplies.
    But great needs remain. Due to the lack of a functioning economy, combined with prolonged reliance on the ration system, virtually all of the population of Iraq will require food aid in the short run in order to survive.9 The Flash Appeal for Iraq, asking for$2. 2 billion to cover needs for six months, was issued in March. Generous donor funding (approximately$900 million), and access to the resources of the Oil for Food Programme ($1. 1 billion), have meant that $2 billion is already available for humanitarian aid for the people of Iraq. The revised humanitarian appeal for Iraq seeks to meet the needs of the Iraqi people up to the end of the year. Given the healthy funding status, only an additional US $259 million is required.

    【录音原文】
    As Iraq struggles to recover from conflict and severe economic hardship to a society that is once again able to stand on its own two feet, the United nations has convened a meeting on 23, June to ensure that the Iraqis immediate humanitarian needs are met and the transition to longer-term reconstruction is fully underway by the beginning of the next year.
    Indeed, such actions and achievements in responding to anticipated humanitarian needs in Iraq have played a crucial role in averting a much larger potential crisis. Even as the conflict was underway, national UN staff continued to carry out their duties. Aid activities under the Oil for Food Programme in Iraq’s three northern govern orates never stopped.1 National staff of the World Food Programme worked to open corridors from Turkey, Jordan and Iran into Iraq.2 UNICEF local staff delivered humanitarian supplies and worked to maintain the supply of potable water.3 WHO local staff supported Iraqi health professionals.4 Under the Oil for Food Programme, UNDP worked to maintain and restore electric power supplies, especially in the north.5
    As of today, more than 800, 000 metric tonnes of food—enough to feed almost all of Iraq’s 27 million people for two months have been dispatched to Iraq.6 An average of 3.5 million litres of water per day is being tankered7 to hospitals, health centres and communities in the south and in the Baghdad area. Basic medicines, vaccines and health supplies have been delivered8 to facilities throughout the country. Agencies have helped repair and restore water, sanitation and power facilities, as well as schools, which have also been receiving essential education supplies.
    But great needs remain. Due to the lack of a functioning economy, combined with prolonged reliance on the ration system, virtually all of the population of Iraq will require food aid in the short run in order to survive.9 The Flash Appeal for Iraq, asking for$2. 2 billion to cover needs for six months, was issued in March. Generous donor funding (approximately$900 million), and access to the resources of the Oil for Food Programme ($1. 1 billion), have meant that $2 billion is already available for humanitarian aid for the people of Iraq. The revised humanitarian appeal for Iraq seeks to meet the needs of the Iraqi people up to the end of the year. Given the healthy funding status, only an additional US $259 million is required.
    Food aid alone accounts for two-thirds of the aid being requested through the Appeal. While the food sector, accounting for some $1.56 billion, is fully funded,10 funding is still required for equally important interventions in other sectors. Most essential needs must be still met: health care; clean water and sanitation; electricity; infrastructure repair; shelter; mine action and mine awareness; education; food security and agriculture; assistance for internally displaced persons and returning refugees. Given the urgent needs in other parts of the world in much of Africa, Afghanistan, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, as well as other places, it is essential that donor countries ensure that contributions to Iraq are in addition to and not in place of— funding for other emergencies.
