　　Module5 Newspapers and Magazines

　　Ⅰ.阅读理解(共两节)

　　第一节　阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项。

　　The “Give It Up for Earth Day” encourages people to commit themselves to giving up actions that are harmful to the environment，such as using poisonous cleaners.

　　Throughout the month of April，Canadians are being asked to “Give It Up for Earth Day！”Earth Day has been celebrated every year on April 22 since 1970.Earth Day Canada's president Jed Goldberg says that as people become more environmentally aware，they want to find ways to reduce their environmental influence，not just celebrate one special event.

　　“Earth Day is a great launching pad for thinking about environmental action every day，” said Goldberg.“Choosing healthier options，even for the short term，can lead to thinking about the influence of our decisions for a lifetime.”

　　That's the reason behind the “Give It Up for Earth Day” campaign.It's designed to encourage healthy habits that benefit people and the planet.It challenges everyone to help create a healthier world by making changes in their daily routine.

　　“We wanted to plan an action－targeted campaign that will give people a chance to act on their concern for the environment in a positive way，”said Goldberg.

　　The campaign has identified four daily actions that can add up to huge environmental savings.They include pledging(保证) to turn off the TV，giving up the use of poisonous cleaners，reducing consumption of consumer products and cutting out meat.

　　At the end of April，all of the pledges will be recorded and converted (转化) into the number of TV hours not watched，dollars not spent on unnecessary items，electricity saved，greenhouse gas emissions(排放)avoided by cutting out meat，and poisonous chemicals produced from homes and landfills.

　　“What we're trying to achieve this year for Earth Day is to give people a chance to do something that is meaningful and measurable，”said Goldberg.

　　1．The aim of the campaign mentioned in the passage is to

　　.

　　A．enable people to save more money for future use

　　B．help people develop environmentally friendly habits

　　C．prevent people from making changes in their daily routine

　　D．warn people against reducing consumption of consumer products

　　解析：选B。细节理解题。根据文章第四段第二句“It's designed to encourage healthy habits that benefit people and the planet.”可知答案。

　　2．The underlined part “launching pad” in Paragraph 3 probably means“

　　”．

　　A．starting point B．finishing line

　　C．exchanging stage

　　D．reforming age

　　解析：选A。词义猜测题。根据第二段中的“as people become more environmentally aware...just celebrate one special event”可知，人们希望以地球日为起点，发生些改变，而不仅仅是庆祝地球日，故画线部分意为“起点”。

　　3．We can conclude from the passage that

　　.

　　A．Earth Day was first celebrated over half a century ago

　　B．short－term decisions will by no means influence our lives

　　C．Earth Day Canada is actually an everyday environmental action

　　D．daily actions must be measured to benefit the environment

　　解析：选D。推理判断题。根据文章内容，尤其是倒数第三段可知，保护环境不应仅限于地球日当天，而应体现在日常行为中，故选D项。

　　4．Which disagrees with the spirit of “Give It Up for Earth Day”？

　　A．Switching off the TV.

　　B．Riding bikes.

　　C．Using poisonous cleaners.

　　D．Saving electricity.

　　解析：选C。细节理解题。根据第一段中的“giving up actions that are harmful to the environment，such as using poisonous cleaners”可知，C项是违背地球日精神的。

　　第二节　根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。

　　How to Promote Communication Between Students

　　An effective classroom includes positive relationships not only between teachers and students，but also among pupils.1.

　　They can help them feel comfortable expressing themselves and their ideas in the classroom，decreasing the level of competition in the classroom and setting ground rules for how students should speak to one another.

　　2．

　　Explain clear guidelines forbidding students from mocking each other when interacting.Encourage students to communicate with each other knowing they can expect respect regardless of their accuracy or skill level.

　　Model for students how to give encouraging and supportive feedback.3.

　　If you want students to communicate with each other，show them how you communicate with them.Respond positively to students regardless of whether or not they give accurate answers.Use a supportive tone when pointing out mistakes and correcting misunderstandings.

　　4．

　　Create the necessary roles for the group ahead of time and then either have students elect group members to different roles or place students in the roles you feel are best.For most projects，assign someone to lead the project (team leader)，someone to take notes and record findings (recorder or secretary) and someone to report the group's work to the class (reporter)．Help ease students'anxiety of deciding how to communicate with each other by assigning roles requiring specific communication during group projects.

　　5．

　　Students naturally compete with one another in the classroom and this can be discouraging to students who require more time to process and answer questions.Require students to raise their hands and wait to be called on before answering a question.Institute a set amount of thinking time before allowing students to raise their hands to answer questions.Create classroom activities and games that give everyone a chance to be successful，not just those who process and answer quickly.

　　A．Set the tone for their communication.

　　B．Assign students certain roles.

　　C．Decrease competition among individual students.

　　D．Keep communication open among students.

　　E．You can communicate effectively by using questions.

　　F．Set ground rules for how students should communicate.

　　G．Teachers can promote communication among students.

　　1．解析：选G。根据空格后面的They can help them...中的代词they，可知空格处的主语应该是一个复数名词，与G项中的teachers相呼应，因此选G。

　　2．解析：选F。这是该段的第一句话，与下文应该有着紧密的联系。从后面的句子中的forbidding和encourage可知，这些都属于规则，因此与F项中的rules相呼应，是对rules的具体解释，故选F。

　　3．解析：选A。这个空格后面的句子中有Use a supportive tone...，因此与A项的set the tone有关系，因此选A。

　　4．解析：选B。结合空格后面句子Create the necessary roles中的roles和下文出现的不同roles的例子，如team leader，recorder or secretary，reporter等，可知B项符合语境，是本段的主旨句，故选B。

　　5．解析：选C。空格后面的句子Students naturally compete with one another in the classroom说明的是学生会在班上互相竞争，因此与C项降低竞争有关，所以选C。
