【題目】This year, about 2,300 teenagers from all over the world will spend about 10 months in US homes. At the same time about 1,300 American teenagers will go to other countries to learn new languages and learn the rest of the world.

Here is a two-way student exchange in action. Fred,19, spent last year in Germany with George's family. In turn, George's son Mike spent a year in Fred's home in America.

Fred, a lively young man, knew little German when he arrived. But after two months of studying, the language became easy for him. School was completely different from what he had expected and it was much harder. Students rose respectfully when the teacher entered the room. They took 14 subjects instead of 6 that were usually taken in the US.

Family life, too, was different. The father's word was the law. All the activities were done with the family rather than individually. Fred found the food to be too simple at first. He also missed having a car.

"Back home, you pick up some friends in a car and go out to have a good time. In Germany, you walk but you soon learn to like it ."

At the same time, in America, Mike, a friendly German boy, was also forming his own ideas. "I suppose I should criticize American schools" he says, "It is far too easy for our level but I have to say that I like it a lot. In Germany, we do nothing but study. Here we take part in many other activities. I think that maybe American schools are better in training their citizens. There ought to be some middle ground between the two."

【解析】本篇文章通過介紹兩個(gè)交換生的日常生活,向讀者展示了美國、德國在學(xué)校生活、家庭生活和教育理念方面的一些異同。

1意義美國學(xué)生原文“Here is a two-way student exchange in action.”(這是一個(gè)雙向?qū)W生交流活動(dòng)。),結(jié)合文章,這篇文章講的正是一個(gè)美國交換生去德國生活學(xué)習(xí)的故事,所以表格的這一欄應(yīng)該是在談?wù)摗懊绹膶W(xué)生”的情況,右邊那一欄是“德國的學(xué)生”的情況。故這里填“American”(美國的)。

2句意:他們有六個(gè)非常容易學(xué)習(xí)的學(xué)科。原文“School was completely different from what he had expected and it was much harder.”(學(xué)校與他所期望的完全不同,而且更難。)說明這些原來在美國的科目是比較容易學(xué)習(xí)的(easy to learn),故填easy。

3句意:當(dāng)老師進(jìn)入教師時(shí),他們必須站起來向老師展示自己的尊重。原文“Students rose respectfully when the teacher entered the room.”(老師走進(jìn)教師時(shí),學(xué)生們充滿敬意地起身。)說明老師進(jìn)教室學(xué)生應(yīng)該展現(xiàn)(show)出自己的敬意(respect)。

4句意:他們有14個(gè)更難的學(xué)科。原文“School was completely different from what he had expected and it was much harder.”(學(xué)校與他所期望的完全不同,而且更難。說明在德國的學(xué)科比在美國的更難。原文用的是“harder”,這里題干中有“more”,要想也表達(dá)“更難”,需要用“more difficult”。

5句意:他們不得不一直努力學(xué)習(xí)。原文“School was completely different from what he had expected and it was much harder.”(學(xué)校與他所期望的完全不同,而且更難。就說明他需要一直努力學(xué)習(xí),“努力學(xué)習(xí)”為“work/study hard”。

6句意:他們可以去開車去見朋友并且玩的開心。原文“Back home, you pick up some friends in a car and go out to have a good time.”(回到家里,你在車?yán)锝恿艘恍┡笥眩鋈ネ娴煤荛_心。)描述在美國的生活,最后玩的很開心have a good time,即“enjoy themselves”。

7句意:他們不得不聽從他們的父親。原文“The father's word was the law.”(父親的話就是法律。)就說明了必須聽從父親的話,“listen to father/fathers”就是“聽從父親的話”。

8句意:他們不得不一直走路。原文“He also missed having a car.”(他想念以前有一輛車),說明現(xiàn)在出行是要走路了,“walk all the way”就是“一直走路”。

9句意:都有的活動(dòng)不得獨(dú)自一個(gè)人完成。原文“All the activities were done with the family rather than individually.”(所有的活動(dòng)都是和家人完成的,而不是單獨(dú)完成的。說明活動(dòng)不得是一個(gè)人單打獨(dú)斗的,即“can’t be done individually”。

10句意:但美國學(xué)?梢耘囵B(yǎng)學(xué)生如何成為更好的公民。原文“maybe American schools are better in training their citizens.”(也許美國學(xué)校在培訓(xùn)公民方面更好。)說明了美國學(xué)校在“訓(xùn)練,培訓(xùn)”(train)公民方面做得更好,故這里填“train”。

【題目】According to a survey, many people think genes (基因) and intelligence have something to do with students’ success or failure. But there aren’t any researches to support this opinion. And in fact, it is not right at all. There is one thing that can finally decide students’ success or failure. That is how they learn. A few students are clever and lucky. They find good ways for themselves to study every subject well. But others aren’t so lucky like them. They don’t find correct ways of their own and fail in the end.

To teachers, what is the best way to teach languages? Dr. Asher found a way called“Total Physical Response”. This was helpful to students. Studies in San Jose State University showed that if students moved their bodies when they were learning English, they were able to learn a lot more new words and grammar in a very short time. But if they sat still and didn’t move, they could learn less. And after a year, the students who moved their bodies when learning still remembered 80% or more things they learned. But others forgot more than 80%.

Now you may know how to learn English. Keep moving when you learn. So when you listen to a story or an article,take action as soon as you hear it. And you can imagine you are the person in the story or the article. By doing like this,you can learn more English and you can remember it longer. The most useful thing is that you can use it more easily. Stop your old method. Try this one at once!

1What is the aim of Dr. Asher’s “Total Physical Response”?

A. For students to remember words.

B. For teachers to teach languages.

C. For parents to help their children.

2According to this method, when you learn new words, what can help you learn them well?

A. Moving the body.

B. Listening to stories.

C. Talking to others.

3The underlined word “intelligence” means “______” in Chinese.

A. 耐力 B. 魄力 C. 智力

4What can you imagine when you listen to a story or an article?

A. I am the writer of the story or article.

B. I am a character of the story or article.

C. I am the teller of the story or article.

5The writer wants to tell us ways to ________.

A. do much more exercise

B. make new sentences

C. help students learn well
