For example ‘I see a barn. ”This can also be used to teach beginning letter sounds. “I spy with my little eye. Something that begins with the sounds. ”Help the child find a word that begins with the “s” sound. In this variation on the popular game, instruct the child that,“Simon says,‘point to something that starts with the letter n. ’”The child call then find an object in the room or a body part,such as the nose,that starts with the letter presented.

They Say Ireland’s the Best Ir
They Say Ireland’s the Best
Ireland is the best place in the world to live in for 2005. according to a life quality ranking that appeared in Britain’s Economist magazine last week.
The ambitious attempt to compare happiness levels around the world is based on the principle that wealth is not the only measure of human satisfaction and well-being. The index of 111 countries uses data on incomes,health,unemployment,climate,political stability,job security,gender equality as well as what the magazine calls“freedom,family and community life”
Despite the bad weather, troubled health service,traffic congestion(拥挤),gender inequality and the high cost of living. Ireland scored an impressive 8. 33 Points out of 10.
That put it well ahead of second-place Switzerland. which managed 8. 07. Zimbabwe. troubled by political insecurity and hunger, is rated the gloomiest(最差的),picking up only 3. 89 points.
“Although rising incomes and increased individual choices are highly valued. ”the report said,"some of the factors associated with modernization such as the breakdown(崩溃)in traditional institutions and family values in part take away from a positive impact. ”
“Ireland wins because it successfully combines the most desirable elements of the new with the preservation of certain warm elements of the old,such as stable family and community life”
The magazine admitted measuring quality of life is not a straightforward thing to do,and that its findings would have their critics.
No. 2 on the 1ist is Switzerland. The other nations in the top 10 are Norway. Luxembourg. Sweden,Australia,Iceland,Italy,Denmark and Spain.
The UK is positioned at No. 29,a much lower position chiefly because of the social and family breakdown recorded in official statistics. The US,which has the second highest per capita GDP(人均国内生产总值)after Luxembourg,took the 13th place in the survey China was in the Lower half of the league at 60th

A Heroic Woman
The whole of the United States cheered its latest hero,Ashley Smith,with the Federal Bureau of lnvestigation saying it was planning to give a big reward to her for having a brave heart and wise mind.
(46)She was moving into her apartment in Atlanta,Georgia early on the morning of March 12,when a man followed her to her door and put a gun to her side.“I started walking to my door,and I felt really,really afraid,”she said in a TV interview last week.The man was Brian Nichols,33.He was suspected of killing three people at an Atlanta courthouse(法院)on March 11 and later of killing a federal agent.(47)
Nichols tied Smith up with tape,but released her after she repeatedly begged him not to take her life.“I told him if he hurt me,my little girl wouldn’t have a mummy,”she said.In order to calm the man down,she read to him from“The Purpose-Driven Life”,a best-selling religious book.He asked her to repeat a paragraph“about what you thought your purpose in life was-what talents were you given.”(48)
“I basically just talked to him and tried to gain his trust,”Smith said.
Smith said she asked Nichols why he chose her.“He said he thought I was an angel sent from God,and we were Christian sister and brogher,”she said.“And that he was lost,and that God led him to me to tell him that he had hurt a lot of peopole.”(49)She said Nichols was surprised when she made him breakfast and that the two of them watched television coverage(报道)of the police hunt for him.“I cannot believe that’s me,”Nichols told the woman.Then,Nichols asked Smith what she thought he should do.She said,“I think you should turn yourself in.If you don’t,lots more people are going to get hurt.”
Eventually,he let her go.(50)A US$60,000 reward had been posted for Nichols’ capture.Authorities said they did not yet know if Smith would be eligible(有资格的)for that money.
A.The local police were searching for him.
B.Smith is a 26-year-old single mother with a daughter.
C.Smith tried very hard to kill Nichols.
D.She even cooked breakfast for the man before he allowed her to leave.
E.And the two of them discussed this topic.
F.Then she called the police.
Global Warming l Smoke is clouding Our vie
Global Warming
l Smoke is clouding Our view of global warming, protecting the planet from perhaps three-quarters of the greenhouse(温室)effect.That might sound like good news,but experts say that as the cover diminishes in coming decades,we are facing a dramatic increase of warming that could be two or even three times as great as official best guesses.
2 This was the dramatic conclusion reached last week at a workshop in Dahlem,Berlin, where top atmospheric scientists got together, including Nobel prize winner Paul Crutzen and Swedish scientist Bert Bolin,former chairman of the UN’S Intergovemmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC).
3 IPCC scientists have suspected for a decade that aerosols(浮质)of smoke and other particles from burning rainforest,crop waste and fossil fuels are blocking sunlight and counteracting the warming effect of carbon dioxide(二氧化物)emissions.Until now,they reckoned that aerosols reduced greenhouse warming by perhaps a quarter, cutting increases by 0.2。C.So the 0.6。C of warming over the past century would have been 0.8。C without aerosols.
4 But the Berlin workshop concluded that the real figure is even higher--aerosols may have reduced global warming by as much as three—quarters,cutting increases by 1.8。C.If SO,the good news is that aerosols have prevented the world getting almost two degrees warmer than it is now.But the bad news is that the climate system is much more sensitive to greenhouse gases than previously guessed.
5 As those gases are expected to continue accumulating in the atmosphere while aerosols stabilize or fall, that means“dramatic consequences for estimates of future climate change”,the scientists agreed in a draft report from the workshop.

第二篇 Teaching poetry
第二篇 Teaching poetry
No poem should ever be discussed or “analyzed”, until it has been read aloud by someone, teacher or student. Better still, perhaps, is the practice of reading it twice, once at the beginning of the discussion and once at the end, so the sound of the poem is the last thing one hears of it.
All discussions of poetry are, in fact, preparations for reading it aloud, and the reading of the poem is, finally, the most telling “interpretation” of it, suggesting tone, rhythm, and meaning all at once. Hearing a poet read the work in his or her own voice, on records or on film, is obviously a special reward. But even those aids to teaching can not replace the student and teacher reading it or, best of all, reciting(背诵) it.
I have come to think, in fact, that time spent reading a poem aloud is much more important than “analyzing” it, if there isn’t time for both. I think one of our goals as teachers of English is to have students love poetry. Poetry is “ a criticism of life”, and “ a heightening(提升) of life”. It is “an approach to the truth of feeling”, and it “ can save your life”. It also deserves a place in the teaching of language and literature more central than it presently occupies.
I am not saying that every English teacher must teach poetry. Those who don’t like it should not be forced to put that dislike on anyone else. But those who do teach poetry must keep in mind a few thing s about its essential nature, about its sound as well as its sense, and they must make room in the classroom for hearing poetry as well as thinking about it.
36 To have a better understanding of a poem, one should
A discuss it with others.
B analyze it by oneself.
C copy it down in a notebook
D practise reading it aloud
37 Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a function of poetry?
A Extending your life.
B Saving your life.
C Criticizing life.
D Heightening life.
38 According to the writer, one of the purposes of teaching English is to get students
A to understand life.
B to enjoy poetry.
C to become teachers.
D to become poets
39 What does the last sentence in the third paragraph imply?
A More stress should be laid on the teaching of poetry.
B Poetry is more important than any other subject.
C One cannot enjoy life fully without an understanding of poetry
D Poetry is the foundation of all language and literature courses
40 The phrase “make room” in the last paragraph could be best replaced by
A “build a booth”
B “provide equipment”.
C “leave a certain amount of time”.
D “set aside enough space”.

Teaching and Learning
Many teachers believe that the responsibilities for learning lie with the student. If a long reading assignment is given, instructors expect students to be (51) with the information in the reading even if they do not discuss it in class or (52) an examination. The ideal student is (53) to be one who is motivated to learn for the sake of learning, not the one interested only in getting high (54) Sometimes homework is returned with brief written (55) but without a grade. Even if a grade is not given, the student is (56) for learning the material assigned. When research is (57) , the professor expects the student to take it actively and to complete it with minimum (58) It is the student's responsibility to fmd books, magazines, and articles in the library. Professors do not have the time to (59) explain how a university library works; they expect students particularly graduate students to exhaust the (60) sources in the library. Professors will help students who need it, (61) prefer that their students should not be too (62) on them. In the United States professors have many other (63) besides teaching, such as administrative or research work. Therefore, the time that a professor can spend (64) a student outside of class is limited. If a student has problems with classroom work, the student
should either (65) a professor during office hours or make an appointment.

第二篇 Ancient Egypt Brought Down by Famine
第二篇 Ancient Egypt Brought Down by Famine
Even ancient Egypt’s mighty pyramid(金字塔)builders were powerless in the face of the famine(饥荒)that helped bring down their civilization around 2180 B. C. . Now evidence collected from mud deposited by the River Nile suggests that a shift in climate thousands of kilometers to the south was ultimately to blame--and the same or worse could happen today.
The ancient Egyptians depended on the Nile’s annual floods to irrigate their crops. But any change in climate that pushed the African monsoons(季风)southwards out of Ethiopia would have reduced these floods.
Declining rains in the Ethiopian highlands would have meant fewer plants to stabilize the soil. ellen rain did fall it would have washed large amounts of soil into the Blue Nile and into Egypt,along with sediment(沉积)from the White Nile.
Blue Nile mud has a different isotope(同位素)signature from that of the white Nile. So by analyzing isotope differences in mud deposited in the Nile Delta. Michael Krom of Leeds University worked out what proportion of sediment came from each branch of the river.
Krom reasons that during periods of drought,the amount of Blue Nile mud in the river would be relatively high. He found that one of these periods,from 4500 to 4200 years ago immediately came before the fall of the Egypt’s old Kingdom.
The weakened waters would have been disaster for the Egyptians. ‘‘Changes that affect food supply don’t have to be very large to have a ripple(波浪)effect in societies,”says Bill ryan of the Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory in New York.
Similar events today could be even more devastating,says team member Daniel Stanley. ascientist from the Smithsonian Institution in Washington D. C. “Anything humans do to shift the climate belts would have an even worse effect along the Nile system today because the populations have increased dramatically. ”
36 Why does the author mention “Egypt’s mighty pyramid builders’’?
A Because they once worked miracles.
B Because they were well—built.
C Because they were actually very weak.
D Because even they were unable to rescue their civilization.
37 Which of the following factors was ultimately responsible for bringing down the
civilization of ancient Egypt?
A, Change of climate.
B, Corruption.
C, flood.
D, Population growth.
38 which of the following statements is true?
A, The White Nile is the trunk of the River Nile.
B, The White Nile is the trunk of the Blue Nile.
C, The White Nile is a branch of the Blue Nile.
D, The White Nile is a branch of the River Nile.
39 According to Krom,the Egypt’s old Kingdom fell
A, immediately after a period of drought.
B, immediately after a period of flood.
C, just before a drought struck.
D, just before a flood struck.
40 The word “devastating” in the last paragraph could be best replaced by
A, “frustrating'’.
B, “damaging'’.
C, “defeating”.
D, “worrying'’.
High-Tech Warfare (战争) Today, high-tech warfare
High-Tech Warfare (战争)
Today, high-tech warfare is no longer an abstract concept, but a real issue.
Technology (51) tactics, sociology, and the development of weaponry (武器)。 It also causes the changes in battles. Then what are the new characteristics of modern battles (52) by the application of high technologies?
High4ech warfare naturally includes high technology. In modern battles, a single kind of weapon can hardly be (53)。 Various weaponry, such as intelligence detection and information processing, should (54) well with each other. Aerial (航空的) weaponry becomes the main force in battles in the sky. Precision homing (精确自导) weaponry like cruise missiles and missiles (55) satellite homing systems becomes the main attack weapons.
Battle control systems play a dominant role. Various weapons and logistics (后勤) systems are (56) into a comprehensive framework, centrally representing the modern high4ech weaponry. Depending on various (57) equipment and means in electronic warfare, our army will not be passively beaten. (58) the battlefield, high-tech warfare has created a type of non-linear (非线性的) chaos.
Because of the use of long-range precision weaponry, the opposite parties in warfare can’t “touch” or “see” each other, and distance is no longer the decisive factor affecting the (59) of battles, it is hard to clearly define the lines between the frontier and the rear, as well as attack and defense. The traditional three-dimensional air-sea battlefield will be (60) by the multi-dimensional battlefield composed of air, sea, magnetic, electrical and information battlefields. No large-scale movements can be conducted (61)。 Because modern weaponry systems are closely related to chains of demand and communication and electronic technology, the parties (62) have to pay attention to the usufruct (使用权) and control of electromagnetic frequency spectrum. So electronic warfare becomes (63) important and the necessary guarantee of victory. Whatever (64) warfare goes to and whatever cloak (宽大外衣) it wears, it always violates peace and brings the world bloodshed (流血)。 Most people think of high technology as a (65) to enhance, e their lives, and they don’t wish it to be used to destroy lives.
