The reality is that writing is a lonely, private and poor-paying affair.For every writer kissed by fortune there are thousands more whose longing is never rewarded.When I left a 20-year career in the U.S.Coast Guard to become a freelance writer, I had no prospects at all.What I did have was a friend who found for me my room in a New York apartment building.It didn’t even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom.I immediately bought a used typewriter and felt like a genuine writer.After a year or so, however, I still hadn’t got a break and began to doubt myself.It was so hard to sell a story that barely made enough to eat.But I knew I wanted to write.I had dreamed about it for many years.I wasn’t going to be one of those people who died wondering.What if? I would keep putting my dream to test(even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure).This is the shadow-land of hope, and anyone with a dream must learn to live there

第3题(20)分
In many stories on TV and in science-fiction books, men travel to faraway stars.They have quick, easy journeys.But so far, men have been able to reach only the earth’s own moon.Suppose a man wanted to reach a distant star.Even if he traveled his whole life, he would have to move faster than the speed of the light.Nothing can move that fast except light itself.Strange things happen to an object when it moves rapidly.The object weighs more.An object moving at 86 percent of the speed of light is twice as heavy as it is at rest.A stick appears shorter.A clock runs more slowly.A man would not age so fast as he would on the earth.Light travels more than 186,000 miles a second, or about 11 million miles a minute.In one year, light travels six trillion miles.That great distance is called a light-year.It is used to measure distance in space.The star closest to our sun is Alpha Centauri.It is more than four light-years away.If one traveled at the speed of light, he could make a round trip to Alpha Centauri in nine years.But, even at that speed, he could not reach Alcaid(北斗星)in the handle of the Big Dipper.A one-way journey to Alcaid would take almost 200 years.1.阅读理解(4.0)分

第5题(20)分
If there is any single factor that makes for success in living, it is the ability to profit by defeat.Every success I know has been achieved because the person was able to analyze defeat and actually profit by it in his next undertaking.Confuse defeat with failure, and you are doomed indeed to failure, for it isn’t defeat that makes you fail: it is your own refusal to see in defeat the guide and encouragement to success.Defeats are nothing to be ashamed of.They are routine incidents in the life of every man who achieves success.But defeat is a dead loss unless you do face it without feeling ashamed, analyze it and learn why you failed.Defeat, in other words, can help to cure its own cause.Not only does defeat prepare us for success, but nothing else can arouse within us such a compelling desire to succeed.If you let a baby grasp a rod and try to pull it away, he will cling more and more tightly until his whole weight is suspended.It is this same reaction that should give you new and greater strength every time you are defeated.If you fully use the power which defeat gives, you can accomplish with it far more than what you are capable of.1.阅读理解(4.0)分
The author ___D______.A、orders you to analyze defeat
B、wants you to face defeat
C、advises you to let a baby grasp a rod
D、warns you not to confuse defeat with fail
2.阅读理解(4.0)分
Defeat is valuable ______C__.A、because it is a factor
B、because it isn’t defeat that makes you fail

D、because it is not a thing to be ashamed of
3.阅读理解(4.0)分
What does the author know? _____B___.A、he knows every success in life
B、he knows the factor making for success
C、he knows every man who is able to analyze defeat
D、he knows the life of every man

There are lots of people smoking in China, and some of them are young people.
Some students smoke in the school. The students sometimes smoke at the back of the school building, on the playground, or even in the toilet, which is very harmful to their health. As we all know, smoking does great harm to human beings. It is harmful not only to smokers themselves but it is harmful to others, especially to their family members. It causes illness and death. In many countries, it is against law to smoke in public. And China is trying to change the situation about smoking in public. We students shouldn’t smoke either. As a student, I will try my best to do something about it.

Dear Tom,
How is it going with you? I’m writing to tell you what a good student should be like in China.
In my opinion, a good student should be hard-working and self-disciplined at school. He should try his best to learn and have good learning habits. At home, he loves his parents and helps them do as much housework as he can. He shares his feelings with his parents, takes their advice, and overcomes difficulties with them. What is the most important to be a good student is that he must be healthy both physically and mentally. A good student should not only care about study, but also hold an active attitude towards life.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Best wishes.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

Actually, in some big cities, fresh water can not meet the daily needs.
Therefore, to find new ways to save water is an urgent task. First, we should pass strict laws to control any waste of water. Second, scientists must work even harder to purify sea water, and try to find substitutes to reduce the use of fresh water.

本学期除担任大二的精读课以外还同时担任日语12-1班的日语精读课程,本学期主要是让学生入门,打基础。在本学期的教学过程中始终贯彻听说先行的方针,让学生掌握语音语调的同时再学习语法相关知识,同时加强学生的听说能力。
通过与学生交流以及平时的课堂表现,我发现学生的语音语调还要重点加强练习。安排如下内容练习发音:举行假名书写比赛,朗读比赛,唱日语歌比赛等多种形式练习发音,鼓励学生多看日剧,多听日语广播等。虽然一年级的学生还不能听懂,但重要的是听语感,学发音。
同时还有一个问题:语法学了很多,看得懂,听不懂。中译日,自己好半天无从下手,可经老师讲,发现都是学过的语法和词汇。有的句子听了好几遍也不明自,老师写在了黑板上才发现是如此简单的几句话。
我觉得在日语精读课程初级阶段教学,对提高学生听说能力的训练上,存在着“三个不足”现象:一是认识不足;二是课时数不足;三是互动不足。
首先,认识不足。虽然第一学期我也采取了多种灵活的教学方法,但精读课的大部分时间还是以语法教学为主,因为最初认为,听,有日语听力课;说,有日语口语课。所以自然将精力放在读写上,无意识中降低了学生听说能力的训练。
其次,课时数不足。这是三年制高职院校外语教学中存在的普遍问题。精读课也不例外,教学课时数内,也只能匆忙完成教学任务,根本无时间去顾及提高学生听说技能的训练。而听力和口语课又比精读课的课时量还要少。
第三,听说练习不足。为了使学生能够很好地理解课文中的语法意义,一般都用中文进行解释,尤其是在初级阶段的日语课堂教学中,说日语的频率降低,采用的教学方式也人多是讲授式,学生听、说的次数也就相应减少。
本学期重点对以上三个不足进行了改进。
学习外语应该是“听说在前,读写在后”。这也就意味着要让学生从开始就有开口的意识,在交流中激发学习兴趣,从而使日语学习进入个良性循环。听和说在日语精读课程初级阶段尤为重要,要做到这点并非易事。
首先,要清除思想认识上的错误观点。外语教学是个既有分工又有协作的团队精神极强的育人工作,每门课程都有自身必须达到的目标,但又互相牵制、紧密相连。日语精读课程是其它教学课程的基础。肩负着全面培养学生听、说、读、写、译等方面技能的任务。任何失之偏颇的认识和观点体现在教学中都将会产生严重的后果。
其次,在可能的范围内增加课时数,但由于各种原因课时数的增减并不取决于任课教师。作为对课时数不足的补充.本人引导学生课后学习,指定参考书目、给出学习范围、分阶段给学生规定具体目标并进行督促、检查、考核。在学习的最初阶段,引导学生对每课进行预习、复习及语法总结,这样可以节省大量的课堂学习时间,用于进行听说练习;在经过一段时期学习后,要求学生用日语记事、记日记,并让同学轮流阅读、批改,教师定期、定量抽查。布置学生自己批改作业,不仅有利于学生互相探讨,互相提问,还可以营造日语学习气氛、调动学习积极性,同时能够让学生自己发现错误与不足并及时与教师沟通。

[关键词] 大学英语精读 词汇教学 现状 策略
1、序言
词汇是语言的基本单位,是构筑语言大厦的基石。学生听、说、读、写、译各方面能力的提升都是建立在词汇的基础之上。Wilkins教授曾经谈到:“没有语法只能传递很少的信息,没有词汇则什么都无法表达。”(1974:36)词汇的重要性可见一斑。然而,目前我国大学英语精读课上词汇的教学是不理想的。如何有效地提高英语词汇教学是大学英语教学中亟需解决的问题。基于此,本文分析了我国大学英语精读课上词汇教学的现状,同时结合笔者自身的教学实践,对如何有效开展大学英语词汇教学做了初步探讨。
2、英语精读词汇教学现状
词汇在语言学习中占据着重要的地位。但在英语教学实践中有些教师在词汇教学中仍然采取传统的“填鸭式”教学方法,读单词,解释意思,翻译句子。这种传统的教学方式的弊端日益显现。首先,大学英语精读课本上的词汇量是很大的,而学生需要掌握的并且能在生活中运用到的只占了一部分,讲解所有的单词无疑造成了学生学习负担的加重,同时冗长的单词操练过程也让学生觉得英语课堂索然无味。其次,英语教师脱离语境呈现词汇。在给出例句时,没有展现出单词所能运用的具体语言环境,学生无法做到灵活运用。另外,许多英语教师在教学中忽略了中西方文化差异对词汇的影响。文化背景介绍的缺失导致学生对词汇理解和运用上的偏差和错误。最后,学生词汇的检测和巩固不够科学和持久。许多老师在检测学生词汇时,采取单一的听写形式,之后便放任不管了。学生便也学得快忘得多,学过的词汇在使用起来也不得体,不符合语言习惯。
3、精读词汇教学策略
3.1 在语言交流中进行词汇教学
学习语言是为了交流。在交流中进行词汇教学不仅可以为学生掌握词汇营造轻松的学习氛围,而且有助于学生了解单词的具体运用环境。比如在讲授《大学英语精读》第三版第二册第一单元中 “reaction” 一词时,我要求学生试着用这个单词造个句子,一些学生立刻低下了头,见此情景,我对学生说:“Some students' reaction to the teacher's question is to lower their heads and keep silent.”学生听了这话,都笑了起来,原先低着的头也抬了起来。我又说:“Your reaction to my words is to raise your heads and laugh.”学生又笑了。我紧接着问了一个学生:“What would be your parents' reaction to your success in passing the CET 6?” 学生回答:“ They would be very happy and buy me something as a reward.”我接着说:“ Your parents' reaction to your success is to reward you with something.”我把这些句子都板书出来,然后要求学生指出reaction后面应该连接的介词,学生马上明白了“对某某事情的反应”应该使用“reaction to ”。在这种交流的环境下,学生心态较为放松,掌握词汇也就容易多了,他们学习词汇的兴趣也会更加浓厚。
3.2 在词汇教学中注意文化的导入
文化和语言是密不可分的,语言是文化的重要表现形式,是文化的载体。中西方文化差异在词汇层面上的体现是非常突出的。戴炜栋认为“在外语教学中将语言教学同文化教学结合起来进行深入、系统的研究。”(2000: 7)了解中西方文化的差异有助于学生把所学词汇得体地运用于实际语言交流中。比如,《大学英语精读》第二册第六单元中有这样一个习语“butterflies in the stomach”,初看这个短语,学生会觉得它传达的应该是一种美好的意象。因为在中国文化中,梁祝化蝶的故事广为流传,蝴蝶代表着友谊、爱情、坚贞等美好形象;然而在英语中有一个短语“social butterfly”,指的是举止轻浮的交际花,蝴蝶在西方文化中的形象可就并不那么美好了。所以在词汇教学中,文化导入的缺失会直接影响到学生对单词、短语甚至句子的理解和掌握。可见,文化层面上的词汇教学是必不可少的了。
3.3 词汇教学中巧借多媒体辅助手段
多媒体技术的直观、生动、形象、信息承载量大等特点使得大学英语课堂更加丰富多彩,多媒体的恰当使用也能使得大学英语精读词汇教学取得事半功倍的效果。比如,文章“The Villain in the Atmosphere”(unit 5, book 2)讲述了二氧化碳对大气层的破坏和对人类的影响,文中涉及到了很多科技词汇。我在课文的导入部分播放了从网上下载的VOA(Voice of America,即美国之音)Special English音频材料。Special English的语速比较慢,适合学生捕捉具体的信息点,听清楚和二氧化碳有关的词汇。学生边听边做笔记,不仅锻炼了听力,也积累了许多科技词汇。这些在学生头脑中留有印象的词汇在学习课文内容时会被唤醒,这样学生对这些艰涩的科技用语也就掌握得更加牢固了。再比如,在讲解“household”(unit 4, book 2)这个单词的固定搭配“household name/word”时,我在幻灯片上给出了可口可乐的图片,学生立刻说出了这个句子“Coca Cola is a household name around the world.”类似的训练多了,学生的语言运用能力也就提高了。
3.4 词汇教学中注重所学词汇的复习巩固
教学实践中,我们发现单词的复习巩固是可以采取更加有效的方式的,比如,复述故事。在复习“The Dinner Party”(Unit 1, Book 2)中的词汇时,我把主要单词以要点的形式展示在幻灯片上,并编上编号, 然后要求学生按编号的顺序逐个复述课文内容,这样学生既紧张又兴奋,在头脑里快速搜索这个单词的用法和课文中有关这个单词的信息,这种快节奏的训练锻炼了学生的反应能力,加强了他们对单词的运用能力。另外,教师在上新课之前也可以对上一课所学的单词进行突然测试,比如,复习“architecture”(Unit 2, Book 2),我问学生“Can you think of anyone who is very good at architecture?”有学生回答:梁思成,我让他用完整的句子回答这个问题后,我再问: “What do you know about Liang Sicheng?”学生又联系到梁启超,而关于梁启超是在课文导入部分涉及到的信息点,这样学生对这个单词的掌握也就更加牢固了。复习巩固单词的方法有很多,大学英语教师应该在教学实践中加以总结,只要运用恰当,词汇教学应该会有很大的突破。
4、结束语
词汇对于语言学习的重要性是毋庸置疑的。只要教师能遵从教学规律,研究教学策略,启发学生的求知欲,一定能在教学中做出一番成绩。
