Introduction to English as a Second Language Teacher’s Book

One of the earliest-known inventions is the bow and arrow, which is still used throughout the world today, 15,000 years (21)________ it was first invented. Of course, these days, the bow and arrow (22)________ (use) mainly in sporting events, but in some places it is still a means of killing animals for food.

In western Asia, another extremely important invention was born—the ability to produce pots. As long as 6500 years ago, people were producing pottery, mostly plain and without designs, but the technique has changed little since.

Some people say that the wheel is the single most important invention. Early examples from about 5000 years ago have been found in the forests of Europe. Around 1500 years later, the Phoenicians used sand, limestone and sodium carbonate to produce (23)________ else which we would be lost without-glass.

How many things do you lock with a key every day? Doors, cupboards? The car? We really don't think much about them, (24)________ we? Well, the first example of a lock and key dates back to 2750 years ago, in Assyria. This is a lock on a large wooden door in the palace of Sargon II.

Another amazing invention, which we probably take for granted these days, is the skill of knitting (25)________ first appeared in the Roman Empire, some 1700 years ago. The (26)________ (early) examples are knitted socks!

Eye glasses developed from just one lens in a frame, like a simple magnifying glass, way back in the 13th century. In about 1290, the idea to put two lenses in a frame to sit on the nose was

developed in Florence. And, believe it or not, the modem contact lens is 120 years old!

Time flies and we spend a lot of time (27)________ (check) how much time we have left! This would be impossible (28)________ clocks and watches, (29)________ are all around us: on walls, on our wrists, on our PCs, and even on our mobiles and iPod's.

A. empowers B. hands C. innovative D. mean E. prints F. notes G. shaving H. store I. tip J. traceable K. uneconomic The health food chain Tossed has just opened the UK’s firstcashless cafe. It’s another step towards the death of cash.

This is nothing (31) ________. Money is tech. The casting of coins made shells, whales’ teeth and other such primitive forms of money redundant (多余的). The printing press did the same for precious metals: we started using paper (32) ________ instead. Electronic banking put paid to the cheque. Contactless payment is now doing the same to cash, which is becoming less and less convenient. In the marketplace convenience usually wins.

In a world without cash, every payment you make will be (33) ________. Do you want governments (which are not always benevolent), banks or payment processors to have potential access to that information? The power this (34) ________ them is enormous and the potential scope for Orwellian levels of surveillance is terrifying.

Cash, on the other hand, (35) ________ its users. It enables them to buy and sell, and (36) ________ their wealth, without being dependent on anyone else. They can stay outside the financial system, if so desired.

Cash has its uses for small transactions – a chocolate bar, a newspaper, a pint of milk - which, in the UK, are still (37) ________ to process by other means. It will always be the fastest and most direct form of payment there is. I like to (38) ________ waiters, for example, in cash, knowing they will receive that money, without it being siphoned (转移) off by some (39) ________ employer. I also like to shop in markets, where I can buy directly from the producer knowing they will receive the money, without middle men (40) ________ off their percentages.

Cash means total financial inclusion, a luxury the better-off take for granted. Without financial inclusion - and there will always be some who, for whatever reason, won’t have it - you are trapped in poverty. So beware the war on cash.

Fitness experts weigh in on whether it’s safe to skip this sometimes annoying step in your exercise routine.

One of the most important steps in your fitness routine comes at the conclusion. Many know the importance of properly warming up and preparing to exercise, but experts say that incorporating a cool down routine is just as important. According to the Mayo Clinic, cooling down allows for your body to recover and return to its normal, (41) ________ state.

Though cooling down isn’t proven to (42) ________ muscle stiffness or soreness, it can prevent dizziness and allow your heart rate and breathing to ease back to a normal rate, Harvard Medical School reports. Phyllis Mammarelli, personal trainer at the Shenango Valley YMCA in Sharon, Pennsylvania, works with each of her clients on a cool down routine as she says it’s a(n) (43) ________ part of exercising.

“Cooling down allows your body to gradually return to a low-intensity activity level, slowly reducing your respiratory and heart rate until it’s equalized and back to normal” she says.

(44) ________ the recovery phase of a workout isn’t proven to be harmful to your body, but Mammarelli warns that without cooling down, the body will take longer to return back to the low-intensity level activity level you began your workout with.

Mammarelli warns that blood can gather or pool in your lower extremities and lead to dizziness and (45) ________. Additionally, ACE says to keep an eye on your (46) ________ soreness and stiffness.

Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.

(A)

James Cameron, writer-director-producer of best picture Oscar winner \"Titanic” (1997), has again denied a claim perennially put forth by fans: that there was room for Jack (Leonardo DiCaprio) to climb aboard the floating door holding Rose (Kate Winslet) and avoid death by hypothermia (低体温) following the shipwreck in the North Atlantic.

Stating that \"it says on page 147 [of the script] that Jack dies,\" Cameron, 63, told Vanity Fair, \"Obviously it was an artistic choice, [that] the thing was just big enough to hold her, and not big enough to hold him”. Finding it “silly, really, that we’re having this discussion 20 years later.” the filmmaker pointed out that, \"Had he lived, the ending of the film would have been meaningless... So whether it was that, or whether a smokestack fell on him, he was going down.\"

He added he believed the physics were correct as well. “I was in the water with the piece of wood putting people on it for about two days getting it exactly buoyant (漂浮) enough so that it would support one person with full free-board, meaning that she wasn't immersed at all in the 28 degree water, so that she could survive the three hours it took until the rescue ship got there... And we very, very finely tuned it to be exactly what you see in the movie because I believed at the time, and still do, that that’s what it would have taken for one person to survive.”

Winslet and fellow \"Titanic\" star Kathy Bates suggest otherwise, with Bates at the SAG AFTRA Foundation 2nd Annual Patron of the Artists Awards on Nov. 9 introducing Winslet by

saying, \"He lets go of her hand and sinks into the depth of the Atlantic. And I personally think that there was plenty of room on there!\" Winslet agreed, telling the audience lightheartedly, \"He could have fit on it! He could have fit on that door!” She similarly said on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” in February 2016 that Jack “could have actually fitted on that bit of door”

As far back as 2012, Cameron toldIGN.com, \"It's not a question of room, it’s a question of buoyancy... It's clear that there’s really only enough buoyancy available for one person... She's completely out of the water on the raft, and ... if he got on with her, they'd both be half in and half out of the water ... and they would have both died of hypothermia.

As well, he had told The Daily Beast in January, \"You read page 147 of the script and it says, \"Jack gets off the board and gives his place to her so that she can survive” It's that simple”

Referring to a 2012 episode of Discovery’s \"MythBusters\" in which he gamely guest-starred, Cameron told the website, \"You’re Jack, you're in water that’s 28 degrees, your brain is starting to get hypothermia. ‘MythBusters’ asks you to now go take off your life vest, take hers off, swim underneath this thing, attach it in some way that it won't just wash out two minutes later - which means you're underwater tying this thing on in 28-degree water, and that’s going to take you five to 10 minutes, so by the time you come back up you're already dead. So that wouldn't work. His best choice was to keep his upper body out of the water and hope to get pulled out by a boat or something before he died.”

56. What question have the fans raised about the plot of the Titanic? A. They think the ending of the story was not good enough. B. They question the director’s level of direction. C. They oppose the separation of the hero and heroine. D. They believe that the hero has a chance of survival as well.

57. According to James Cameron, Jack should have been dead because ________. A. it comes up to the fans’ expectations B. the process the screenplay can be satisfied C. the true story that attracts more fans

D. the core role of the film is the actress not the actor

58. Which of the following people hold(s) a different viewpoint of Jack’s life? A. Kathy Bates

B. Winslet

C. James Cameron

D. The fans

59. According to the passage, which of the following is incorrect? A. According to the director, the hero is dead on page 147 of the script. B. If the hero were still alive, the ending of the movie would be meaningless. C. James Cameron attended the Foundation 2nd Annual Patron of the Artists Awards. D. Some fans don’t want to believe that the hero is dead in the movie.

When I became a budget traveler, and I discovered some of the cheapest ways to travel

around the world. Don’t let money problems stop you from traveling. Here are a few ways to travel cheap that can help you see the world on a budget. 1. Pay with points

You’re smart enough to know money doesn’t grow on trees, but earning credit card points and miles may have you thinking otherwise.

Figure out how much money you regularly spend, and consider making those purchases on a travel card, like the Chase Sapphire Preferred Card, so that you have the potential to be rewarded with points and miles every time you swipe. You can redeem (兑换) these rewards for airfare, hotels and other qualifying expenses. 2. Want to score even cheaper flights?

You may want to subscribe to Scott’s Cheap Flights. This email newsletter alerts budget travelers when airlines hold sales or mistakenly lower their prices. In the past, Scott’s Cheap Rights has notified subscribers about amazing deals like a $260 flight from New York to Paris and a flight from San Francisco to Bali for $ 3.

TheFlightDeal.com and SecretFlying.com are two more sites that may be able to help you find cheap flights, according to Nico Atienza, a front desk agent at the Travel Hacking Cartel. 3. Timing is everything

It’s typically easier to find cheap flights when your travel schedule is flexible.

Often, you’ll find the best deals when you travel in the middle of the week or take a red-eye flight overnight. If you’re prepared to face less-than-idyllic weather, you could save even more money on airfare and hotels by traveling during off-peak seasons.

“The most important thing is to be flexible on timing”, says Atienza. “The tighter your time frame, the less chance you’re going to get a cheap fare”.

It can also help to book early.

4. When you travel together, you can split the costs with your friends and family There’s something to be said about solo travel.

But if you’re on a budget, you can split the costs of hotels and rental cars when you travel with a small group of friends or family. So don’t be shy about squeezing into a small motel room or renting an entire home on Airbnb if it’s less expensive per person.

“The optimal party size tends to work out to be four people,” says Atienza. Any more than that and the hotel might charge you for another room.

You should also be able to fit about four people in your rental car, depending on the type of car you rent.

60. What is learned from the passage?

A. The airfare from San Francisco to Bali is only $ 3.

B. You may find cheap flights from TheFlightDeal. com and SecretFlying. com. C. The tighter your time frame, the more chance you’re going to get a cheap fare.

D. Atienza believes that the optimal party size tends to work out to be three people. 61. According to this article, which of the following is NOT a way to get cheap airline tickets? A. Redeem Points for Airline Tickets.

B. Notice the airlines’ price reduction and discount emails. C. Choose off-season travel times.

D. Split the costs with your friends and family. 62. This article is most likely to come from ________. A. a travel magazine C. a promotion email

B. a speech D. a daily newspaper (C)

The books we read when we’re young have a special sort of power: they can inspire us to be brave and resilient (Matilda by Roald Dahi), take us on thrilling adventures (Divergent by Veronica Roth) and even introduce us to tragedy (The Bridge to Terabithia by Katherine Paterson). They’re as formative as anything else in our young lives, and sometimes they’re the first place we encounter larger-than-life ideas. Consider the lasting cultural import of To Kill a Mockingbird or even the urgency of a newer best seller like I’ll Give You the Sun, Jandy Nelson’s 2014 novel centering on a contradictory issue. In The Magic Words, Cheryl B. Klein, an executive editor at Scholastic whose projects include the last two Harry Potter books, sets out to inform would-be writers on how great novels for young readers work.

The market for YA novels is booming: sales in the children’s and YA sector have been neck and neck with those of adult books in recent years, and adult authors, including Meg Wolitzer (Belzhar) and Carl Hiaasen (Razor Girl), are getting in on the phenomenon. Magic Words aims to be a master class. If you think it sounds silly, it isn’t. In the era of elevated self-help sensations like Marie Kondo and Breníé Brown, The Magic Words is of a piece.

Klein deconstructs the seemingly obvious (clear plotlines, sympathetic characters) to reveal the technical intricacies of some beloved classics. L. M. Montgomery surely didn’t whip up Anne of Green Gables as a cash-in endeavor. But for those who want to capitalize, Anne is instructive: what’s timeless and broadly appealing about Anne - her teenage heart and impulses - is what to examine. Once you understand that. Klein encourages you to get personal: What makes you ideal to write your story? And what does it mean to the reader?

On the latter question, The Magic Words is more than a handbook. It is also a timely social commentary on the responsibility YA writers have to young adults. Those who write to a younger demographic must start with an awareness of their readers - not only their age but also how they might connect with the issues, both the mundane (bullies) and the cultural (tolerance) that characters face. The narratives we tell young readers can influence how they understand and value the world around them. The magic isn’t in the words: it’s in how the words come together to reflect and affirm the realities of a diverse young-adult experience.

63. According to the first paragraph, it can be learned that ________. A. The Bridge to Terabithia can inspire us to be brave and resilient B. Matilda by Roald Dahi can take us on thrilling adventures C. Divergent by Veronica Roth even introduce us to tragedy D. To Kill a Mockingbird has lasting cultural significance . Which of the following is NOT true about YA novels? A. Anne is a master in the field YA novels.

B. Sales in the children’s and YA sector have been neck and neck. C. Adult authors are getting in the field of YA novels. D. The market for YA novels is booming.

65. According to the text, the Magic Words is ________? A. full of absurd plots and complex narrative structure B. one of the masterpieces of Klein

C. not only a handbook but also a timely social commentary D. a novel composed of many letters

66. According to the last paragraph, those writers who write to a younger should ________. A. find someone to sponsor their writing C. develop a strategy to meet the market

Section C

Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in each blank with a proper sentence given in the box. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.

A. The higher the price of film ticket is, the more popular it is among youngers. B. Imagine if you could instead pay less to see films that are not in high demand? C. One of the first cinema chains to take up this initiative is Dendy. More will follow. D. Dynamic ticket pricing relies on the quality and trend of the film, varying from one to another. E. Dynamic ticket pricing gives the consumer the ability to purchase film tickets at a wider range of prices. F. Dynamic pricing benefits cinemas by optimizing the price mix for every screening of every film. Coming soon to a cinema near you? Ticket prices shaped by demand

Chances are that if you see just one film this year, you probably saw it already. The period between Christmas and Australia Day is typically the busiest and most competitive in our film calendar. But even when you arrive at a ticket counter at a quieter time of year you will usually pay the same price to see a film irrespective of its popularity, quality or budget size. (67) ________

B. fully understand their readership first D. copy the works of historical masters

A new smart application means this will soon be a reality for some Australian consumers. Melbourne-based start up Choovie will launch a service offering demand-based ticket pricing to filmgoers at the end of March, with over 100 screens across metropolitan and regional venues in Victoria, NSW and ACT. (68) ________

Choovie’s app will allow consumers to decide, within parameters set by the cinemas, what price they pay to see a film. For example, if you don’t want to pay more than $10 to see a particular title and are prepared to compromise on where and when you see it, the app will locate a suitable session for you.

The emergence of apps such as Choovie is likely to shake up the film industry by fundamentally changing our experience of going to the movies.

Dynamic (or demand) ticket pricing aims to change this.

So how does dynamic pricing work?

(69) ________ This depends on a number of demand variables, such as movie life cycle, time of day, day of the week, film title, venue, size of screen, actual bookings and so on. The number of seats in each price category for every film is based on demand conditions at the time of purchase.

It works by using “pricing bots”, which adjust prices in real time according to rules set by the exhibitor and on the basis of information gathered about consumer preferences. Uber’s “surge pricing” is one example of dynamic pricing. Airline tickets are another.

The idea is that instead of offering customers a limited number of ticket categories, the cinema sells each seat based on the individual customer’s willingness to pay. Patrons can choose screenings by specifying things such as the amount they are prepared to spend (say, under $10), the location of the cinema (no more than 10 km from home), the time of day (any time after 2pm) and so on. Conversely, cinemagoers should also be prepared to pay higher prices for films that are close to selling out in popular sessions.

(70) ________ It gives them the flexibility to respond to unexpected fluctuations in demand and encouraging their patrons to pre-purchase seats. And it benefits customers by simplifying the process of finding cheaper cinema tickets and guaranteeing them a reserved seat.

IV. Summary Writing

Directions: Read the following passage. Summarize the main idea and the main point(s) of the passage in no more than 60 words. Use your own words as far as possible.

Scientists Discover Animal Language

It is human beings’ pride that we are the only species on the Planet that can speak and think. However, recent research cast doubt on that common belief.

Zuberbuhler, a psychologist at St. Andrews University, and his colleagues recorded thousands of calls made by Diana monkeys and noticed that the monkeys adapted their calls to change the meaning to warn one another about different situations. For example, they made a ‘krack’ alarm call at the sight of tiger. However, when they merely repeated calls made by other monkeys they

added an ‘oo’.

The researchers found that the same calls would be recognised by other species, like Campbell’s monkeys. So they are communicating across species. “And since then we have found that hornbill birds can understand these calls and they too can understand all the different meanings”, said Zuberbuhler.

What is also surprising is that signs of intelligence have been found in birds, whose small brains were long assumed to be a complete barrier to sentience. However, all is changing fast. A few years ago Irene Pepperberg of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology taught a parrot to recognise and count up to six objects and describe their shapes, which couldn’t have been achieved if birds were unable to memorize.

Last year, that was topped by Alex Kacelnik, a professor of behavioral ecology at Oxford, who discovered that crows (乌鸦) are capable of using tools in complex orders, the first time such behaviour has been observed in non-humans. In an experiment seven crows successfully grabbed a piece of food placed out of reach using three different lengths of stick. Crucially, they were able to complete the task without any special training, suggesting the birds were capable of a level of abstract reasoning normally associated only with humans.

All this is powerful evidence against the idea that people are unique.

Directions: In Section B, you will hear two passages and a longer conversation, and you will be asked several questions on each of the passages and the conversation. The passages and the conversation will be read twice, but the question will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one is the best answer to the question you have heard.

Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.

Every year in the U.S. about 133 million pounds of food goes to waste. A lot of it is fruits and vegetables, like three legged carrots, and faulty strawberries. They are deserted simply because they are not pretty enough to be displayed on store shelves. If you look at the big picture, about a third of the planet's food goes to waste for the same reason.

That's enough to feed 2 billion people. Now, a company called Imperfect Me is trying to change that situation. The company collects ugly fruits and vegetables from farmers and markets and sells them to local residents at a deep discount. It can be 30 to 50% of the regular price. Similar campaigns are underway in places like Boston, as well as Portugal and the UK.

For now, most chain supermarkets don't carry ugly fruits and vegetables. But Steve Clark's of Imperfect Me hopes the supermarkets will come around because customers want such food. He says it is really easy to convince people when they realize they can pay a lower price to get the same kind of taste and health. Now listen again. Questions

11. According to the passage，for what reason is a third of the world’s food deserted? 12. What can be learned about the company Imperfect Me from the passage? 13. What is the passage mainly about?

Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.

A city in England has started an ambitious plan to plant as many as 1 million trees every year for the next decade. The project is called the City of Trees. Project director Tony Brown explained that the green venture has three main aims. He said, One is to plant a tree for every man, woman, and child over the next decade. Next, we are very much focused on bringing existing woodland into management because it doesn't make any sense to plant new woodland if you can't manage what you've got already.

Finally, we want to engage people a lot more in their natural environment that is implanting trees in managing areas. And in understanding more about the benefits that trees and woodlands bring to our society, Mr. Brown further outlined the reasons for the recently launched

environmental project. He said, “our city wants to be a world class region. We have a lot of fantastic economic development going on, but the natural environment needs to keep up with that.”

He believes the project will reconnect people with trees and the natural world, provide benefits to health and reduce stress. He said “woodlands can do great things in terms of air pollution reduction and can help to protect against noise pollution. They can also help cities and towns reduce the urban heat island effect and flooding”. Now listen again. Questions

14. According to the passage, how many trees will be planted in all in the next decade? 15. According to the passage, which of the following is the main goal of the project? 16. According to Tony Brown, which of the following is a reason to launch the project? Questions 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation. At a campus police station. W: How can I help you? M: I think my car has been stolen. W: Can you give me the details? M: It's a red minivan.

W: When and where did you last see it?

M: This morning I left it in front of NO. 1 classroom building.

W: Let me check. It appears your van was in the staff only parking zone.

M: I'm sorry. I was a bit late for my class. I had to find a place so I could get to my classroom

quickly.

W: But since you shouldn't have left your car there, it was moved away. M: Then how do I get my car back?

W: Well. Go to the campus traffic office. That's opposite the administration building, and on the

left side of the stadium, please bring your student card along. M: I will. Do I have to pay a fine?

W: I'm sorry to say yes. There's a parking fine. And before taking your car, you also have to pay

for the storage fee. M: OK. How much will that be?

W: The storage fee is $5 per day. So you'd better pick up your car today if possible. The fine is 50.

But if you pay within three days, the fine is reduced to 20. M: I see. Thanks. Now listen again. Questions:

17. What happened to the man's car?

18. What can be learned about the staff only parking zone?

19. To get back his car, where should the man go?

20. How much should the man pay altogether if he picks up his car this afternoon? That's the end of listening comprehension.

Dear Wang Lei，

It's been a while since I heard from you. Last time, I invited you to attend the concert which will be held next Friday in the century park. Though you did not reply to me, the hesitation wearing on your face offered me a glimpse of what was going on in your mind. Maybe it is the recent ghastly weather or the terrible traffic that hinder you from making up your mind. However, as far as I concerned, it's still worth our efforts.

This concert is not a pop music concert but a classic music one where several prestigious symphony orchestras will perform many well-known compositions. It must be a feast for all the audience. Moreover, chances are that we may have an album with performers autographs on it. You should never miss such a fabulous concert !

In terms of difficulties you are worried about, I have already found some solutions. My father will be available on that day so that he can drive us to the scene. I have managed to persuade him to make his promise. In addition, in case of a rainy day, I have prepared two raincoats. I am confident that we will indulge ourselves into the elegant flow of notes.

I am looking forward to hearing your reply.

Yours ,Li Hua
