随着社会的进步与发展, 学生的生活环境与思想也在发生着变化。做为英语教师, 我们应该用发展的眼光去看待学生, 在学生的评语中, 既不能一味地表扬, 也不能一味地批评, 否则好话也就变得乏而无味, 批评也失去了相应的效力。其实我们应该注意评语的多维性和发展性, 力求体现学生的个性特征, 培养学生蓬勃的进取心。从平时入手, 从微观入手, 走进学生的内心世界, 呵护学生的成长, 促进学生的发展, 培养学生健全的人格。英语的口头性评价也能激发学生的学习兴趣和学习动力, 可是我们一味地用一种英语评价, 时间长了学生们也就感觉乏味了。
一、英语评语的多样化, 既要表扬, 同时也要科学地批评。
爱因斯坦曾说:“如果把学生的热情激发起来了, 那学校所规定的功课, 会被当作一种礼物来接受。”同理, 如果学生对评价感兴趣, 那么, 评价以及使用了评价的英语学习, 会成为学生乐于接受的礼物。
比如, 在英语课上我们进行了一些难度性挑战, 但是老师激励性地说了一句:“I think it is so easy for you.”学生们听了从心理上就感觉受到了鼓励, 这就相当于成功了一半。让课堂教学中的评价与终结性评价紧密结合起来, 使课堂教学评价常规化, 是最为有效的方法。有人说:“好孩子是夸出来的。”这种“夸”指的是对学生的赞赏, 是教师心灵深处的自然流露, 是内心情感世界的迸发。
二、评语的准确恰当性。
面对学生性格的多样化 (内向、外向、男性化女、女性化男等等) 及家庭的多样化 (空巢家庭、单亲家庭、孤儿、收养等等) , 一句不经意的话都有可能伤害到学生的心灵, 影响到学生的身心健康, 因此要想评语准确恰当就应该全面地了解学生, 与学生真诚地交流, 让学生信赖你, 教师只有走入学生的内心, 你的评语才会在学生的内心世界激起涟漪, 影响学生的一言一行。同时, 教师要及时发现学生的闪光点, 随时随机地给予激励性的评价, 让学生有如沐春风般温暖的感觉。
我班里有个学生的成绩特别差, 但是他的口语表达能力很强, 朗诵课文富有感情, 我不断地鼓励他, 上课时让他朗读课文, 课下还给他讲口吃名人口含石子练演说的故事。号召其他学生向他学习, 在此时我还教育他:学生之间要取长补短, 互相学习, 才能做得更完美。他感觉到了我对他的信赖, 便有了信心, 后来, 他的成绩上升得很快, 自信写在了他的脸上。信赖, 往往创造出美好的境界。
三、英语口语评价的大众参与性。
好学者有利于营造一个良好的课堂教学氛围, 是学习的带动者和领头人, 在课堂教学中, 我们要时时注意他们, 发挥他们的优势, 让他们成为后进学生学习的榜样。对他们的发言, 尽量让别的学生进行评价, 这样既可以学到评价语, 也能发掘别人的闪光点, 并以此来学习。
英语口头评语也是一门艺术, 我们不能将其减而化之, 要科学合理地运用, 适合时机地运用, 让它成为学生向上攀登的动力。我们应该善于使用评语, 让评语在教育活动中发挥它不可替代的作用, 使我们更好、更快、更高地培养出合格的人才。在口头评语探索与尝试的进程中, 我们要勇于创新, 敢于大胆地尝试, 全面提高学生的素质, 促进学生的发展。我相信“方法总比问题多, 没有管不了的学生, 只有没方法的家长和老师”。不要放弃, “付出就有回报, 说到就要做到, 要做就做最好!”坚信你就是成功的那一位。
摘要：在英语课口头评语探索与尝试的进程中, 我们要勇于创新, 敢于大胆地尝试, 全面提高学生的素质, 促进学生的发展。

读者心声
我是一名《太空探索》的忠实读者，刚接触《太空探索》，就被其丰富充实的内容、深入浅出的理论阐述以及精美的图片所吸引。“太空”本身是一个内容很广泛的领域，整个宇宙包括地球都包含于其中。而《太空探索》能够全面地把人们普遍关注的这方面的研究理论、最新进展、热门话题等等一一为读者送上，令人读来津津有味，思想仿佛跟着飘游于整个宇宙之中。可以说，这是一本既有深度和广度而又通俗易懂的科技杂志。
对宇宙的好奇以及生活的枯燥，甚至使阅读《太空探索》本身成为我精神上的一种寄托。冥冥宇宙之中有太多有待人类探索而又非常有趣的东西对于我有着致命的吸引力，对着浩瀚的太空，总是令人浮想联翩，地球只不过是宇宙中的一粒灰尘，那么，地球上的微生物——人类，又算是什么呢？自从十五世纪欧洲掀起航海探索热潮以来，经过几个世纪的发展，人们把跨越海洋从几个月时间缩短到几个小时，地球已经变成了村庄。现在人们把目光放到了太空，而且已经跨出了第一步，火星正成为人类的下一个目标。相信再经过几个世纪的发展，人类一定可以征服整个太阳系。《太空探索》在我与宇宙之间架起一座桥梁，使我的思想得以自由自在地漫游于太空之中。

探索俱乐部
我是一名高一的学生,在2002年第2期“探索俱乐部”中我看到陈志成同学的意见，心里非常激动。因为他所说的正是我从小就认为的，只是我周围的老师、同学都不喜欢天文，不理睬我的见解。现在我终于可以借贵刊的一席之地发表我的看法，我感到非常高兴。
除了陈志成同学的观点外，我认为虽然人们对太空中的星体特别是太阳系中九大行星及卫星的探测，认为除地球外，太阳系内已无让人类生存的第二个地球，但是，就如人类刚出现时，许多奇山峻岭、深水高空，都被认为是生命的禁区，然而人类利用自己的双手、智慧，将一个个生命极限打破，现在地球上的每一寸土地几乎都有人类的足迹，设想，如果我们利用自己的双手和智慧对其它星球进行改造，使它们变成我们人类的乐园，不也很好吗？

一、原因
决定和影响口音 ( accent) 的众多因素中, 地域因素所占权重最大, 但地理位置相同的人说话的口音也未必完全相同。口音的决定因素除了地域, 还与生活环境和受教育程度有关。可以说口音= 发音+ 语调 ( accent=pronunciation + intonation) 。相比较发音, 语调更容易分析, 而且同一地方的人语调基本整齐。例如: 东北方言的阴平第一声比普通话的阴平略低, 或者把“七个猴”发成“骑个猴”。
二、特征
标准英语、苏格兰英语、威尔士英语、爱尔兰英语、澳洲英语等 ( RP、Geordic、Cockney、Scottish、Welsh、Irish、Austrian) 的共同特点是在发音上属于non-rhotic, 即位于元音后的/r/不卷舌, 这是英音和美音最显著的区别。音调起伏大、抑扬顿挫, 陈述句以降调结束, 问句以升调结束。这点和美音差别很大, 美国英语音调较平, 并且以升调结尾。
标准英语, RP即Received Pronunciation, 又称King ' s/Queen ' s English, 是最标准的英语发音, 也就是BBC、新概念英语所用的口音, 讲标准发音的地区, 只有英格兰的牛津 ( Oxford) , 但英格兰南部 ( 伦敦、南安普顿、剑桥、伯明翰等) 的发音都和标准发音比较接近。标准发音好听的特征是将“for it”连读, 并且把/r/发出来。又如念“the idea of”, 也会在idea和of之间加/ r / 音。
伦敦东区英语口音 ( Cockney Accent) 并不是标准英语发音。Cockney是对伦敦东区的称呼, 那里以前是比较穷的人居住的地区。《哈利波特》电影中Harry说的就是伦敦东区英语口音。主要发音特点是改变“th”等个别辅音字母和“i”等元音字母的发音, 如: bother /'b v/ 的浊辅音发成/v/; this /dis/的浊辅音发成/d/; letter /'led/的tt完全不发音; like /laik/的/ai/ 发成近似于/ai/的读音。除此之外, 总的来讲伦敦东区英语口音 ( Cockney Accent) 与标准英语口音 ( RP) 比较接近。
英格兰北部口音 ( Geordic) , 包括纽卡斯尔、利兹、约克等地区的人们所持的英语口音, 纽卡斯尔地区的发音最为典型。北部口音和标准英语发音相差就比较远了, 不过听起来很憨厚淳朴。北部口音倾向于把很多元音都发成/u/ 或者//, 比如blood / bld/; know / n: /。
美式发音 ( General American Accent) , 包括美国东北部地区的口音、纽约口音、南方口音、黑人口音等, 美式英语的发音特点是: 第一, 发音中卷舌音 ( rhotic) 很多, 单词中有字母r则必然要发出, 听上去是北京方言中的儿化音。第二, 辅音比较含糊, 和说英音的人相比显得很随性。如:new / nu: / , 而标准英语中new的发音为/ nju: / , 不能省略/ j / 音。在美音的发展中为了方便的缘故逐渐省掉了。第三, 从发音口型上来说, 美国人说“god”的时候, 口形比英国人张的大。所以出现了主要元音的变音现象, 如//和/: /音, 演变成类似//和/a: /的发音, 如“god”和“caught”的发音。第四, 标准英语发音中发/a: /的地方, 在美国英语中演变成/: /的发音, 如: ask/: sk/, 也是由于美国英语发音口型较大的缘故。
中式英语, 受汉语思维方式和发音特点的影响, 具有走音、语法错误、逻辑错误等特点, 如果想把英语说得更好一些, 要注意练习音标, 减弱口音, 将每一个发音准确充分的发出来, 这样才有标准英语的范儿。口音的背后反映了很多因素, 如教育背景、文化背景、性格等, 一个不是那么怪异的口音, 总能给当地人 ( native speakers) 留下较好的印象。

Miriam Kotacka doesn't want to wait for herfuture. She's only 16, yet she's due to graduatefrom high school in a few weeks. Then she canbegin training full time as a ballet dancer.
She has been able to speed her education bytaking a semester's worth of classes on her computer. She has studied all her subjects in virtual ( 虚拟的) classrooms where teachers were presentonly through instant messaging, emails or occasional video links.
Online classes, already common at the college level, are becoming popular in Chicago-areahigh schools — and even middle schools — promising to help quick learners and slow learners toget the most from their education.
But not everyone joins the bandwagon.Critics say the trend is more about saving moneythan improving education, and whether onlinecourses can produce good results remains unproven.
Still, some observers believe the trend islikely to accelerate. They say some fast-growinghigh schools will introduce online classes to keepstudents out of the building, so they won't have toset up new buildings.
However, since students and teachers won'tmeet face to face, students may cheat in exams.Some schools ask online students to take theirfinal exams in classrooms. In this way, they aremonitored by teachers, but other assignments areharder to be monitored.
Gene Glass, a researcher at the National Education Policy Center said research has so farfailed to prove that online instruction is superior toface-to-face education.
Jeff Hunt, who runs Indian Prairie's onlineprogram, gave a warning to those who want tomake Internet-based learning a real success.
25. We can learn from the text that Miriam Kotacka_______.
A. will turn 16 in a few weeks
B.will continue practicing dancing ina college
C. took every high school subject onher computer

26. The underlined phrase in Paragraph 4can be replaced by“_________”.
A. studies well in a college
B. learns very fast
C. supports online classes
D. affords to attend online classes
27. Why do some people not support thetrend towards online classes?
A. Because slow learners cannot learn asmuch as quick learners.
B. Because teachers cannot help students tosolve problems in time.
C. Because online classes are not suitable forhigh school students.
D. Because no research shows that onlineclasses lead to good results.
28. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text?
A. Online classes are popular with universitystudents.

Do you ever wonder if you can make adifference? Do the world's problems seem too big?Many people have this feeling, and they do notknow what to do. But two men in India are tryingto change that.
Satish Vijaykumar and Ranjeet Walunj livein Mumbai, India. They started the Sapling Project. They believe that their idea will flourish inthe same way that a seed grows into a small tree—a sapling then the tree is bigger. Just like a tree, as an idea grows, it can touch many people.
“With the Sapling Project, we give one smallopportunity to act on something— something thatwill give our next generation the best environment, ”Ranjeet said.
Planting trees is not a new idea. Many peoplehave been planting trees to help change the worldfor many years. But, the Sapling Project is different from other tree-planting projects. Most treeplanting happens in country areas where there oncewere large forests. But Satish and Ranjeet believethat it is important to plant trees in cities andtowns. Trees can help block noise from busy citystreets. And if people plant trees near their homesand businesses, they can help care for them.
“The world is full of nice people, and theonly thing you need to do is get them moving, ”Satish said.
Many people are moving in India now. Theyhave already planted over a thousand trees. Hereis how it works. One sapling costs 44 cents. People give money to Satish and Ranjeet to buy thetrees. Then, Satish and Ranjeet put the trees in acar and drive around the city. Anyone can take atree from the car and plant it as long as theypromise to take care of the tree for two years. Thatis the time a tree needs to grow strong roots. “Caring for a tree is a little like caring for a child.You get to watch it grow, ”Satish said.
29. What's the purpose of the Sapling Project?
A. To beautify the city.
B. To educate the children.
C. To solve the noise problem.
D. To benefit the next generation.
30.The Sapling Project is special in______.
A. its types of trees
B. its planting places
C. planting trees to save forests
D. getting country people involved
31. What can we know about the SaplingProject?
A. Few people have joined it.
B. It has a history of two years.
C. It charges people a little money for thesaplings.
D. Participants are responsible to care forthe saplings.

Not all research begins with a plan. Somestudies begin by accident. Meredith Schafer saysthat is what happened with her and Cynthia Sagers. Cynthia Sagers is a biology professor at theUniversity of Arkansas. Meredith Schafer is agraduate student.
They were traveling in the state of North Dakota on a project. They noticed pretty yellow flowers. They recognized them as canola. Farmersgrow canola for seeds to make cooking oil. Canolais also used for animal feed and biofuel.
But the canola plants they saw were notgrowing in farm fields. They were growing alongthe road. The researchers decided to test theplants. They had brought along special testing papers for the project they were working on. Theybroke up some of the leaves in water and addedthe test paper.
The results showed that the weedy canolaplants contained genetic ( 基因的) changes. If aplant is genetically modified, that means its geneshave been changed to produce desired qualities, which may have higher economical value.
This summer, the researchers from Arkansaswent back to North Dakota. This time they wenton a road trip to find canola. They traveled morethan 5, 000 kilometers. They stopped about everyeight kilometers to count plants and take samplesto test in their vehicle. What they found, theysay, was the first discovery in the United States ofwild canola plants with modified genes.
Meredith Schafer presented the findings at arecent meeting of the Ecological Society of America.
The scientists found canola plants in almosthalf of the places they investigated. They tested atotal of 288 plants. They found that 80% of thoseplants contained genes from genetically engineeredcanola.
Some crop plants are modified to resist damage from the chemicals that farmers spray to killweeds. There are two proteins that can give canola the ability to resist two commonly used weedkillers. One protein gives resistance againstglyphosate ( 草甘膦) . The other protein gives resistance against glufosinate ( 草铵膦) .
Two of the plants growing in the wild showedresistance to both kinds of weed killers. ProfessorSagers says canola varieties with these geneticqualities have not been released on the market.This suggests the result of wild populations reproducing on their own.
32. What was the purpose of Cynthia Sagersand Meredith Schafer traveling in North Dakota?
A. To carry out a project on canola plants.
B. To work on a project we don't know.
C. To make a research on genetic changes.
D. To present their findings at a meeting.
33. In what way do the wild canola plantsdiffer from those growing in farm fields?
A. They have naturally modified genes.
B. They produce more cooking oil.
C. They are more easily damaged.
D. They are able to kill weeds.
34. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. All researches do not begin with plans.
B. Some discoveries were made by chance.
C. Modified genes were invented by biologists.
D. Most weedy canola contained geneticchanges.
35.We can infer from the passagethat.
A. farmers grow canola for seeds to makecooking oil
B. some plants are genetically modified toadapt to surroundings
C. farmers have begun to grow geneticallymodified canola
D. those wild plants contained genes fromgenetically engineered canola

One day, I got a full mark in the maths exam and only got 50 marks in the Chinese exam. On my way home, I was in low spirits.
When I arrived at home, my mother kissed me on the cheek as soon as she knew the result of maths and said she would bring me to have a nice meal in KFC as the praise. Seen her so happy, I quick took out of my Chinese exam paper. But quite contrary to her behavior just now, he slapped me on the face heavily. At that moment, I couldn't help cry.
I understood my mother cared much for my scores than me and I felt sad. But as matter of fact, I needed my mother's help when I have difficulty with my study rather than her slaps.

33. A。推理判断题。从第四、五段可以看出, 这些杂草一样的卡诺拉油菜植株存在一些自然的基因改变, 这正是它区别于那些生长在农场的油菜的地方。D项不对, 因为这种野生油菜不是能够杀死杂草, 而是能够抵抗除草剂带来的危害。
34. C。推理判断题。转基因只是科学家的发现而不是发明, 特别是第五段中的“Whatthey found, they say, was the first discovery inthe United States of wild canola plants with modified genes. ”可知C项是错误的。
35. B。推理判断题。从倒数第二段中的“Some crop plants are modified to resist damage from the chemicals that farmers spray to kill weeds. ”可知, B项正确; A项是原文, 不需推理; C项不对, 因为存在基因性状的卡诺拉油菜并未在市场上发布; D项不对, 因为野生植物不可能都包含经遗传工程处理过的卡诺拉油菜的基因。

40. F。承接上一句“I think that open education is a good idea, but only in theory. ”可知应选F, 表示开放式教育在理论上是不错的, 但在真实的课堂上或学校里未必效果好。

第四部分: 写作
第一节短文改错
第1处: and改为but。前后两个部分是明显的转折关系, 所以用but。
第2处: at去掉。home是副词, 所以前面不用加介词。
第3处: bring改为take。take sb. to…表“带某人去……”之意。
第4处: Seen改为Seeing。此处“看到她非常高兴”的动作是主句主语“I”发出的, 所以需用主动形式。
第5处: quick改为quickly。修饰实义动词需用副词形式。
第6处: he改为she。这里是说母亲, 需用she。
第7处: cry改为crying。couldnt help doing表示“情不自禁做某事”。
第8处: much改为more。根据后面的than可知, 这里应该用比较级。
第9处: matter前加a。as a matter of fact表示“事实上”, 为固定搭配。
第10处: have改为had。本文是过去时态。
第二节书面表达
One possible version:
It seems that many students go to take afterschool classes in their spare time. I used to go todifferent kinds of these classes, too. But later Irealized I couldnt do that any more because it isjust a waste of time and money.
Now I spend my spare time reading, doingsports and taking some social activities. Its a wiseway to know about the world. And I prefer to enjoy nature. I still remember that day when I wentto the Forest Park this spring! I found a few plantsappearing in my biology books. It offered me anopportunity to deepen my understanding of mytextbooks.
Learning by using is a real practice. I havebenefited a lot from it. Now I am becoming morecreative and confident than those who are alwaysinvolved in taking after-school classes.
