4.

6.

Wasitfiveo'clock______thefirebrokeout?A.whenB.thatC.whichD.inwhich正確答案：A[解析]考查狀語從句。本題容易誤選B，被誤認為是強調句。但在強調句中，去掉強調句的結構詞itis/was...that...后，句子結構仍然完整。但此句若去掉結構詞，即為Fiveo'clockthefirebrokeout，句子不完整。此題選A可分析為：it表時間，whenthefirebrokeout，為時間狀語從句。句意為“火災是5點鐘發生的嗎?”。

7.

8.

9.

27.

Theunderlinedphrase"thisprocess"inParagraph2refersto______process.A.theageingB.thebody-evolvingC.thegenes-repairingD.thebody'sputting-off-damage正確答案：B[解析]由文章第二段第二句話“Hemaintainsthatourbodiesareevolvingtomaintainandrepairthemselvesbetterandourgenesareinvestinginthisprocesstoputoffthedamagewhichwilleventuallyleadtodeath”.可知我們的身體以更好地維持和自我修復的方式成長，并且我們的基因也參與進這個過程來延遲破損。這個過程指的是身體的成長過程，所以B項正確。

28.

Basedonrecentstudiesmadebyvariousscholars,whichofthefollowingfactorsplaysafundamentalroleinman'slongevity?A.GenesB.EatinghabitsC.EnvironmentD.Medicalcondition正確答案：A[解析]第二段第一句“Thereasonbehindthesteadyriseinlifeexpectancyis"thedeclineinthedeathrateoftheelderly"，說明了平均壽命增長的原因在于死亡率的降低。文章第二段第二句話“Hemaintainsthatourbodiesareevolvingtomaintainandrepairthemselvesbetterandourgenesareinvestinginthisprocesstoputoffthedamagewhichwilleventuallyleadtodeath.”說明了基因可以推遲或延緩死亡。由此我們可以間接推出基因在人類壽命中的基礎性作用。

29.

Theunderlinedphrase"lowmortality"inParagraph8couldbestbereplacedby"______".A.shortlifespanB.lowdeathrateC.lowillnessrateD.goodhealthcondition正確答案：B[解析]從字義來看，mortality是“死亡，致命”的意思，因此劃線詞就是較低死亡率的意思；另外從語境來看，這是由and連接的兩個并列成分，goodlifeexpectancyandlowmortality，并列的成分前后含義應該接近，前面說的是較長的壽命，剛好和后面的較低死亡率同義轉換。因此正確答案為B。

30.

WhichstatementbelowisTRUEconcerninglifeexpectancyaccordingtothepassage?A.Lifeexpectancygoesonrisingforever.B.Therecouldbefurtherincreasesinlifeexpectancy.C.Lifeexpectancyhassloweddownsince1980sanditwillstop.D.LifeexpectancyinJapandoubleswhatitwas200yearsago.正確答案：B[解析]根據文章大意可推知人類的平均壽命在未來一段時間內可能會繼續增長，但不會永遠無限期地增長。因此正確答案為B。

二、簡答題

根據題目要求完成下列任務，用中文作答。1.

一位英語教師在教學過程中，常常模擬情景，強調語法服從功能，重視學生表達的流利性和得體性，鼓勵即席反應。請問該教師采用了哪種教學法?該教學法有什么優點和不足?正確答案：(1)該教師采用了交際法。

(2)交際法的優點：

①有利于培養學生的語言運用能力和學以致用的意識。

②強調學生的主動性和互動性。

③課堂上的交際活動以學生為主體，有利于激發學生的學習興趣、鉆研精神和自學能力。

交際法的不足：

①交際法要求根據學生需要來選擇教學內容，確定教學要求。這對于我國實際情況來說是不現實的。我國的學生學習英語不是目前生存的需要，沒有融合型動機，大部分學生的需求只是知識和能力的提高。

②交際法主要適合小班型教學，學生使用語言的機會多。而我們國家目前中學的班型都在45人左右，甚至更多，學生使用外語交流的機會相對較少，不利于表現出交際法的優勢。

三、教學情境分析題

根據題目要求完成下列任務，用中文作答。下面是某教師的課堂教學片段：

T:Areyouhappy?

Ss:Yes,weare.

T:Whenthere'ssomethingwrongwithyourbody,areyoustillhappy?

Ss:No.

T:Lookatthepicture,ishehappy?

Ss:No,heisn't.

T:Why?

Ss:(Withtheteacher'shelp)Hehasastomachache.(Learnotherphrasesaboutillnessinthesameway)

T:Nowlet'slearnachant.Sayfirsttwolinesofthechantafterme.Saythenexttwolinestogetherwithmeaccordingtomyaction.Saythelasttwolinesbyyourselvesaccordingtomyaction.Nowlet'sstart:

Ear,ear,Ihaveanearache.Ihaveanearache.

Tooth,tooth,Ihaveatoothache.Ihaveatoothache.

Back,back,Ihaveasoreback.Ihaveasoreback.

Throat,throat,Ihaveasorethroat.Ihaveasorethroat.

請根據材料回答下列3個問題。1.

此語段教師采用什么方式講授新知識?請具體分析。正確答案：此語段老師采用了歸納式講授新知識。

首先教師呈現實例“stomachache”，學生觀察語言現象，發現語言結構規律或規則“-ache”和“sore...”之后，教師通過小順口溜給予反饋，學生進行語言訓練。這些活動有利于學生對語言現象的理解和運用。

2.

此語段教師使用了什么方法進行語言呈現?請具體分析。正確答案：此語段老師采用了利用直觀教具和真實情景進行語言呈現的方法。

采用直觀媒介圖片，把課上的重點內容“unhappy”呈現給學生，使學生在自然的情景中建立起對新語言項目“-ache”和“sore...”的初次印象。這是初中英語教學最廣泛的教學手段和方法。之后把所學單詞歸納到小順口溜之中，又可以加深學生對本課內容的感性認識和理解。學生周圍的人或物都是有使用價值的真實情景。在本語段中，老師利用體態語言創造的真實情景直接引起學生興趣，給學生的直觀印象更深刻。這是初中英語教學最便捷的教學手段和方法。

3.

此語段教師采用了什么手段激發學生興趣?正確答案：首先，以圖片作為教學手段，利用其直觀性等特點展現了“stomachache”等生詞；之后，又采用順口溜的形式，讓學生真正做到“眼看、口念、心想”，在心情愉悅中積極主動地學習與疾病有關的詞匯，達到事半功倍的效果。

四、教學設計題
