九、阅读与表达 English is spoken as a first language by several countries including Great Britain, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, Canada, and the United States. But there are some differences in the way they speak and write. The first difference is in the accent (口音). Each country has its own accent. Another difference is the spelling of some words, like color and colour, or theater and theatre. And a third difference is that some of the words are not the same at all. For example, Americans say restroom, Canadians say washroom, and the British say W. C (water closet). But all of these words have the same meaning. They are all good and correct. Two things may help you decide which one is the best for you to study. First of all, where do you live if you are from South America, for example, you will probably have more exposure (暴露)to North American English, if you live in Europe, most likely you will be more exposed to British English. The second thing to think about is why you are learning English. Is it for business? Travel? To watch movies? Think about the kind of English you plan to use and focus (集中……于)on understanding people from that area. 1.Is English spoken as a first language in New Zealand? ________________________________________________________________ 2.How many differences are there in the way they speak and write? ________________________________________________________________ 3.Are they all correct or not? ________________________________________________________________ 4.What are the other two ways of saying W.

Are you getting ready for the Spring Festival?Yes, I am/we are./No, I am not./we aren't. Are they sweeping the floor?Yes, they are./No, they aren't. Are the boys making lanterns?Yes, they are./No, they aren't. 1.如果要问对方在做什么，我们可以这样说： What are you doing? 你在做什么? 问其他人在做什么，自然就是： What are they doing? 他们在做什么? What is he doing? 他在做什么? Who is cooking the meal? 谁在做饭? 2.一般现在时和现在进行时的比较。 (1)一般现在时表示现在的状态： He likes jiaozi.他喜欢吃饺子。 They have a lot of friends.他们有很多朋友。 (2)一般现在时表示习惯性的或经常性的行为，现在进行时表示现在正在进行的行 为： He is cleaning his room now.他在打扫房间。 He cleans his room every day.他每天都要打扫房间。 二、阅读技巧(2) 要培养自己良好的阅读习惯。阅读慢的人存在两个主要毛病，一是视幅窄，二是心读或者出声朗读，这样阅读会很慢。因此，要想读得快，第一要扩大视距，第二不要心读或出声朗读。要想既读得快，又读得懂，要克服心读、复视的毛病并联系扩大视距外，还有一些其他的方法，比如识别句型，猜测词义，抓住关键词等，都可以帮助我们在理解文章的同时提高阅读速度。 跳读也是人们常用的阅读方法。跳读的目的是为了寻找文章中某些特定的信息。当要回答有关who, what, when, where等文章细节问题时，通常用此方法可以很快找到答案。在跳读时，目光要自上而下，一目数行地寻找与答题内容相关的词句。与此无关的内容要很快掠过。但如果所遇到的问题是与上下文有关的问题，如why, how等，用此方法则难以找到现成的答案，则需要细读。 带着问题去读文章。有时由于文章篇幅过长，阅读时常常读前忘后，但细节题一般只是针对文章中的某个词、短语、句子或某个段落提问，如果不分主次从头读到尾，会浪费时间。因此不妨先快速浏览题目，判断出考查的细节是什么，再到文章里去捕捉相关的信息。 答案Module 2 一、 1.lantern 2.dragon dance 3.dumplings 4.Christmas 5.leaves 6.learn 7.cooking 8.sweet 9.help 10.fireworks 二、 1.clean the house 2.扫地 3.cook a meal 4.装饰房间 5.get ready for 6.带走晦气 7.have a hair cut 8.粉刷窗户 9.a kind of 10.全年 三、 1.C 2.D 3.B 4.B 5.C 6.A 7.B 8.B 9.B 10.D 11.D 12.C 13.C 14.B 15.A 16.A 17.B 18.B 19.C 20.A 四、 1.B 2.C 3.A 4.A 5.B 6.B 7.C 8.D 9.D 10.C 五、 A)1.英国 2.假发 3.疯狂的 4.原因 5.睡衣 6.标志 7.傻的 B)8.A 9.B 10.A 11.D 12.C C)13.C 14.D 15.A 六、 A)1.looks 2.them 3.countries 4.take 5.children B)6.flying/to fly 7.coming 8.makes 9.swimming 10.home 七、 1.Li Ping's mother is cooking the meal in the kitchen. 2.We often eat jiaozi — a kind of dumplings. 3.His house is next to a river. 4.They have lots of traditions on Christmas Day. 5.We can watch the moon and stars at midnight. 八、 1.Your hair is long, so you should have a haircut. 2.Are you getting ready for the final exam? 3.Spring is the best season all the year round in Beijing. 4.I'm going to see a film with my parents on Friday evening. 5.What's happening in the street? 九、 1.Yes, it is. 2.Three. 3.They are all correct. 4.Restroom, washroom. 5.I want to make friends and talk with foreigners.
