第三节：阅读理解题 阅读下面的短文，从每题所给的四个选项A、B、C和D中，选出最佳选项 Scientists have devised a way to determine roughly where a person has lived using a strand of hair, a technique that could help track the movements of criminal suspects or unidentified murder victims. The method relies on measuring how chemical variations in drinking water show up in people's hair. "You're what you eat and drink, and that's recorded in your hair." said Thure Cerling, a geologist at the University of Utah. While U.S. diet is relatively identical, water supplies vary. The differences result from weather patterns. The chemical composition of rainfall changes slightly as rain clouds move. Most hydrogen and oxygen atoms in water are stable, but traces of both elements are also present as heavier isotopes (同位素). The heaviest rain falls first. As a result, storms that form over the Pacific deliver heavier water to California than to Utah. Similar patterns exist throughout the U.S. By measuring the proportion of heavier hydrogen and oxygen isotopes along a strand of hair, scientists can construct a geographic timeline. Each inch of hair corresponds to about two months. Cerling's team collected tap water samples from 600 U. S. cities and constructed a map of the regional differences. They checked the accuracy of the map by testing 200 hair samples collected from 65 barber shops. They were able to accurately place the hair samples in broad regions roughly corresponding to the movement of rain systems across the country. "It's not good for pinpointing (精确定位)," Cerling said, "it's good for eliminating a lot of possibilities." Todd Park, a local detective, said the method has helped him learn more about an unidentified woman whose partial skeleton was found near Great Salt Lake. The woman was 5 feet tall. Police recovered 26 bones, a T-shirt, a necklace and several strands of hair. When Park heard about the research, he gave the hair samples to the researchers. Chemical testing showed that over the two years before her death, she moved about every two months. She stayed in the Northwest, although the test could not be more specific than somewhere between eastern Washington and Oregon and western Wyoming. "It's still a substantial area," Park said, "but it narrows its way down for me."
1. What is the scientists' new discovery?
A.People's hair growth has to do with the amount of water they drink.
B.A person's hair may reveal where they have lived.
4. What did Cerling's team produce in their research?
A.A map showing the regional differences of tap water.

On a hot day in Alexander City, Alabama, summer school was in full swing. Two girls were reading "Julius Caesar" as two others wrestled with maths. A boy worked his way through a psychology quiz, and a teacher monitored an online discussion with students from around the state: Was Napoleon the last enlightened despot(专制君主)or the first modern dictator? This is not a traditional classroom scene, but it has become common enough in Alabama. The state has many small, rural schools. Because of their size, and the relative scarcity of specialized teachers, course offerings have been limited. Students might have had to choose between chemistry or physics, or stop after two years of Spanish. But thanks to an innovative experiment with online education, the picture has changed dramatically. In 2005, the governor, Bob Riley, announced a pilot programme called Alabama Connecting Classrooms Educators and Students Statewide, or ACCESS. The idea was to use internet and videoeon-ferencing technology to link students in one town to teachers in another. It was something of a pet cause for Mr. Riley, who comes from a rural county himself. He was especially keen that students should have a chance to learn Chinese. There were skeptics. The pilot programme cost $10 millon, not pocket change in a poor state. Teachers worried about how they would connect to their virtual students. But ACCESS quickly became a hit. In 2006, students took more than 4,000 courses at 24 schools. In 2008, with ACCESS now in more schools, the number exceeded 22,000. Administrators are finding new ways to live up the experience. Last year a dozen schools went on a "virtual field trip" to Antarctica, with scientists beamed in by satellite, and a school in Birmingham has been liaising (取得联系) with a counterpart in Wales. As for the goal of leveling the academic playing field, the state is pleased so far. Joe Morton, the state superintendent of schools, points to the number of black students taking AP courses. In 2003, according to the College Board, just 4.5% of Alabama's successful AP students (those who passed the subject exam) were black. In 2008, the number was up to 7.1%. There is still a big gap—almost a third of the state's students are black—but the improvement in Alabama was the largest in the country over that period. "That makes it all worthwhile right there," says Mr. Morton.
6. Why summer school is popular in Alabama?
A.Because there are many rural schools in this state.
B.Because there are not enough skilled teachers in this state.
C.Because the online education made it possible.
D.Because the courses for students are limited in number.

I picked up his dirty clothes, put away his work shoes, carried out his popcorn bowl from the previous night's football viewing, washed the breakfast dishes, wiped the coffee he'd spilled and ironed his shins. Seeing a thoughtful look on his face, I wondered if he was beginning to realize just how much unnecessary work he created for me. Maybe he would offer to help. "A penny for your thoughts," I said. "I was thinking," he replied, "that one of the things I like best about you is how you always find ways to keep yourself busy."
1. Language teaching and learning more or less has been influenced by three different and basic views of language. What are they?
The structural view sees language as a linguistic system made up of various subsystems: the sound system (phonology), the discrete units of meaning produced by sound combinations (morphology), and the system of combining units of meaning for communication (syntax). To learn a language means to learn these structural items so as to be able to understand and produce language. The functional view sees language not only as a linguistic system but also as a means for doing things. Learners learn a language in order to be able to do things with it. The interactional view of language considers language as a communicative tool, whose main use is to build up and maintain social relations between people. Learners not only need to know the grammar and vocabulary of the language but also as importantly need to know the rules for using them in a whole range of communicative contexts.
2. Second language acquisition and teaching research have shown that the modal of language classroom is a very important aspect of teaching. What do you think the general steps of the model should be?
The model of language classroom should generally include five steps, which is warm-up/lead in, presentation, practice, production and summary. At the warm-up stage, the teacher arranges some activities related to the learning items to build English learning atmosphere. The main purpose is to arouse students' motivation. At the presentation stage, the teacher introduces new vocabulary and grammatical structures in whatever ways appropriate. At the practice stage, the lesson moves from controlled practice to guided practice and exploitation of the texts when necessary. At the production stage, the students are encouraged to use what they have learned and practiced to perform communicative tasks. At the summary stage, the teacher and students work together to summarize what they have learned in class.

An Argument
I am a Senior 3 student. I often quarrel with my mother over whether I can watch TV after school. My mother holds the view that students in Senior 3, heavily burdened with studies, are too busy to spare any time to watch TV. It seems to her that once I am allowed to do that I will not be able to control myself and forget all about my study. She also thinks that it is bad for my eyes to watch TV too much. But I really can't accept her ideas. After a day's hard work, I think, I can relax for a while by watching TV. Not only can it set my mind at rest, but also it can expand my knowledge and improve my understanding of global affairs. Now we have at last reached an agreement that I can only watch TV at weekends, and the programs should be limited to news, literature, sports or science.
2. 以Should We Help Strangers?为题，写一篇长为120～150词的小作文。
[参考范文]
Should We Help Strangers?
We used to appreciate those who like to help strangers. But nowadays people are reluctant to help strangers for fear of bringing them trouble. As far as I am concerned, I am firmly in favor of helping strangers in need. First, helping others is a virtue, and it will make our society more harmonious. It is hard to imagine what the world would look like if people are indifferent to everything. Second, stretching out our hands to strangers in need is helping ourselves. Just imagine how terrible it would be if everyone turns a blind eye and a deaf ear to our trouble. However, when we are helping others, we should also protect ourselves and offer our help in an appropriate way. Sometimes we can take some necessary measures, such as calling 110 or 120, taking some photos or finding some witnesses.
第九节：设计题 (本题要求用英语作答)
1. 请就“What are you doing?”做一教学设计。教学对象：小学生。
Stage 1 Teaching Objectives (1)Knowledge and Skills ①Students understand clearly the meaning of the sentence pattern "What are you doing?" and can answer it in real life appropriately by "I am (doing)...". ②Students correctly transform some verbs that they have learned into v.-ing form. ③Students master the present progressive tense accurately and can use it correctly. (2)Process and Methods ①Students use inductive methods to conclude the rules of transforming verb into v.-ing through observation of several sentences. ②Students do practice independently. ③Students use the present progressive grammar to do tasks corporately. (3)Emotional Attitudes and Values Students actively take part in the learning activities and confidently finish the tasks. Stage 2 Teaching Key and Difficult Points (1) Key Points ①Students understand clearly the meaning of the sentence pattern "What are you doing?" and can use the sentence in real life appropriately. ②Students transform some verbs that they have learned into v.-ing form correctly. (2) Difficult Points ①Students understand the present progressive grammar and know how and when to use it. ②Students pronounce the v.-ing form correctly. Stage 3 Teaching Procedures Step 1 Warm-up Game: TPR activity T: Hello boys and girls, let's start our class. We've learned many verb phrases. Now I will say some verb phrases. Then you should act it out. OK? I need some students come here and the rest of you do it next to your seat. Any volunteers? The teacher writes down the verb phrases on the blackboard while students act it out correctly, such as play ping-pong, draw a picture, read a book, answer the phone, shake hands, etc. (Justification: Through TPR, students review what they have learned and get prepared for the new lesson.) Step 2 Presentation T: Boys and girls. Here's a ping-pong ball. Do you like to play ping-pong? Ss: Yes. T: Please look at me. What am I doing now? You can ask me "What are you doing?" Ask me together. Ss: What are you doing? T: I am playing ping-pong. (Write on the blackboard "What are you doing? —playing ping-pong".)Say "I am playing ping-pong." Ss: I am playing ping-pong. T: What are you doing? Ss: I am playing ping-pong. T: Good job. (While drawing a picture on the blackboard) What am I doing now? Ss: What are you doing? T: I am drawing a picture. (Write on the blackboard "drawing a picture".) Ss: I am drawing a picture. ... Students read the v.-ing phrases on the blackboard after the teacher and do it together several times. (Justification: Through imitation, students perceive the present progressive grammar and the v.-ing form.) Step 3 Practice The teacher writes down some verbs and asks students to write down the v.-ing forms. T: Do you finish it? Ss: Yes. T: OK. Let's do a task. I will ask you "What you are doing?" If I point to "swim", a student should answer me by the phrase "I am swimming." Then the student will be a master and asks another student to answer what he has pointed to. Understand me? Ss: Yes. T: Let's begin. What are you doing? (Point to "write".) S1: I am writing. What are you doing? (Point to "sing".) S2: I am singing. ... While students do the game, the teacher writes down the v.-ing, and highlights the-ing in each word. (Justification: The chain games can drill the v.-ing and let students use it correctly.) Step 4 Production Game: Find your partner The teacher hands out some cards. On the back of each card there is a verb phrase. Two students will have the same verb phrases. Students should find out their partners by interviewing other students. For example: A: Hello. What are you doing? B: Hi. I'm answering the phone. What are you doing? A: I'm drawing a picture. B: Oh, we are not partners. See you later. A: See you. What are you doing, C? C: I'm drawing a picture. What are you doing? A: Me, too. I'm drawing a picture. C: Wow, we are partners. ... (Justification: This task can practice both students' speaking and listening skills.) Step 5 Summary and Homework. Summary: Make a song What are you doing? What are you doing? I'm singing. I'm singing. What's he doing? What's he doing? He's swimming. He's swimming. What's she doing? What's she doing? She's reading. She's reading. (Justification: To summarize the class by making a song that is related to the present progressive grammar is suitable for students' learning habits.) Homework: Pick at least one of the tasks as your homework and do it earnestly. (1)Draw a picture and depict what the people in the picture are doing. (2)After school, please give one of your friends a call in English and talk about what you are doing at home. (3)Please write a short passage to depict what your parents are doing after dinner. (Justification: The hierarchical homework not only extends the class task into real life but is good for different students' development.) Stage 4 Board Plan What are you doing? I am (doing)...
