Passage 1
In modern society there is a great deal of argument about competition. Some value it highly, believing that it is responsible for social progress and prosperity. Others say that competition is bad;that it sets one person against another;that it leads to unfriendly relationship between people.
I have taught many children who held the belief that their self-worth relied on how well they performed at tennis and other skills. For them, playing well and winning are often life-and-death affairs. In their single-minded pursuit of success ,the development of many other human qualities is sadly forgotten.
However,while some seem to be lost in the desire to succeed, others take an opposite attitude. In a culture which only values the winner and pays no attention to the ordinary players ,they strongly blame competition. Among the most vocal are youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures from their parents or society. Teaching these young people, I often observe in them a desire to fail. They seem to seek failure by not trying to win or achieve success. By not trying, they always have an excuse: "I may have lost, but it doesn′t matter because I really didn′t try. " What is not usually admitted by them is the belief that if they had really tried and lost, that would mean a lot.
Such a loss would be a measure of their worth. Clearly, this belief is the same as that of true competitors who try to prove themselves. Both are based on the mistaken belief that one′s self-respect relies on how well one performs in comparison with others. Both are afraid of not being valued. Only as this basic and often troublesome fear begins to dissolve can we discover a new meaning in competition.

Passage 2
Ever since its creation over 40 years ago, the Internet has remained a predominantly unrestricted place where anyone can present themselves in any form they choose, but what happens when your digital identity begins to merge with your real-world identity Are those who choose to hide their real names in danger of losing anonymity online Such is the power of anonymity on the web that it has made it possible for people to speak out without fearing the repercussions of their actions. Concealing one′s true identity online has made it possible for free speech to break through the physical barriers enforced by governments across the world.
Being anonymous on the web also makes it possible for people to discuss sensitive subjects, such as medical conditions, physical abuse and sexual orientation, without these actions affecting their everyday lives in a potentially harmful way. There are positive ways to use anonymity on the web, but there can sometimes be very destructive side effects too, such as bullying, racism, impersonation of an individual or individuals,even stock market manipulation. When this kind of damaging activity is carried out online, how can the offender ever be held accountable for their actions when they are almost entirely untraceable in a virtual world
The offending individuals hide behind a pseudonym, protecting themselves from the repercussions of their actions. This all sounds very complicated to achieve, but in reality it′s as simple as setting up an email address, creating an online profile under a false name and carrying out malicious acts from a random, non-descript location. Thankfully, things are starting to change. The rise of identity-centric social networks like Facebook, Google and LinkedIn, make it increasingly more difficult to live an anonymous life on the Internet. These platforms are inherently social and rely on you, as a user, to establish a network of friends and acquaintances. This effectively c

英语教学中教师设计教学任务应遵循哪些原则?设计任务时有什么要求?
英语教学中的任务指有利于学生用英语做事情的各种语言实践活动。任务的设计一般应遵循下列原则:(1)任务应有明确的目的;(2)任务应具有真实意义,即接近现实生活中的各种活动;(3)任务应涉及信息的接收、处理和传递等过程;(4)学生应在完成任务的过程中使用英语;(5)学生应通过做事情完成任务;(6)完成任务后一般应有一个具体的成果。 设计任务时的要求:教师应以学生的生活经验和兴趣为出发点,要有助于英语知识的学习、语言技能的发展和语言实际运用能力的提高,要积极促进英语学科与其他学科间的相互渗透和联系,使学生的思维能力、想象力、审美情趣、艺术感受、协作和创新精神等综合素质得到发展。
这是一篇关于生命起源的说明文的阅读教学。课文中有两张插图,其中一张是太阳系的图片,为了让学生了解更多有关太阳系的知识,教师设计了“What do you know about the Solar System?”的导入环节。
T:Today we’ll learn how life began on the earth.What do you know about the Solar System?Let me show?you some pictures.Tell me what are they?(点击课件,呈现太阳系的图片)
T:(指着太阳)What’s this?
Ss:Sun.
T:(指着水星)What’s this?
Ss:I don’t know.
T:It’s Mercury.Read after me“Mercury”.(板书Mercury)
T:(指着金星)Then,what’s this?
Ss:(零零星星地)It’s Venus.
接下来教师逐个地指着图片上的行星问学生“What’s this?”而学生除了对地球响亮地齐声回答“earth”外,对其他的行星都保持沉默。
任务要求:
(1)分析该教师的教学目标;
(2)分析指出上述教学实录中的不足之处;
(3)如何弥补上述实录中的不足?请重新设计此堂课的导入环节。
(1)教学目标分为三个维度。 ①知识目标:学生能够通过导入环节了解太阳系,并扩大有关太阳系的词汇量;
②技能目标:学生能够掌握单词归类记忆的方法,如对太阳系的各个行星集中记忆;
③情感目标:学生能够了解宇宙的奥秘,提高学习兴趣。
(2)不足之处:
①没有认识到学生的主体地位。实录中教师采用的是灌注式的导入方法,教师点击鼠标,新的词汇在屏幕上快速出现,词汇的容量和词汇呈现的速度超出了学生的认知水平,学生处于被动回答的地位,其积极性无法调动。
②内容狭隘单一。教师只是利用图片做一些简单提问,学生做机械回答。这种方式没能联系学生生活实际,远不能创设一个生动的课堂。
③教学有效性有待商榷。表面上看学生了解了太阳系的组成和其行星的名称。但整个环节学生忙于看图片和相关的文字,无暇思考和记忆,看了读了后就忘了。
(3)教师可以首先播放视频,短短一分钟展示地球上万物的发展,学生在观看之后不禁感叹宇宙和生命的神奇,然后让他们讨论一下所看到的内容及感受。高中生有了一定的课外阅读能力,所以他们可能会谈到恐龙灭绝、宇宙大爆炸、地球起源等,全班学生积极讨论。此时教师可出示宇宙大爆炸或者地球与行星撞击形成月球的图片,进而激发学生的求知欲,调动其学习积极性,从而顺势引出所讲授的课题“What is the scientific idea about the beginning of the universe Let’s start our new lesson… ”
设计任务:请阅读下面学生信息和语言素材,设计一节课的教学方案。教案没有固定格式,但须包含下列要点:
·teaching objectives
·teaching contents
·key and difficult points
·major steps and time allocation
·activities and justification
教学时间:45分钟
学生概况:某城镇普通中学高中一年级第一学期学生,班级人数40人。多数学生已经达到《普通高中英语课程标准》(实验)五级水平。学生课堂参与积极性一般。
语言素材:
