Center in New Jersey，kids can learn about science in a fun and exciting atmosphere.Science educator Lisa Silverman showed a group of students how surgery is performed.As she guided the children through the operation，she also taught lessons about infections (感染)，the roles of the operating room staff and the kinds of schooling one needs to be a surgeon.Education experts call this “informal” or “freechoice” science learning，since it takes place outside of the school setting.The National Academies will publish a report about the learning of science in such informal settings，including such places as museums，zoos and aquariums (水族馆)The report is meant to address the lack of scientific education among Americans.Many are afraid there will be a shortfall in homegrown engineers and scientists to keep the nation competitive，and a general workforce illequipped to function in an increasingly hightech world.Experts believe science museums can play a big role in teaching and promoting science to both children and adults.The Liberty Science Center expects about 850，000 guests this year.Visitors can walk along a high steel beam in the skyscraper exhibit or practice laboratory experiments.Kids and their parents are welcome to ask as many questions as they like.For many students，the experience is as important as any technical or book lesson，because the information can be related to their families，friends and，most of all，themselves.“The value of science museums is that they allow families to learn together，and even about each other，”says Oregon State University researcher John Falk.“Parents may discover that a daughter is interested in engineering after a trip to a museum.” Sue Allen，who studies museum learning at San Franciscos Exploratorium，said，“In a fastchanging world where people need to keep learning all their lives，science museums provide a model for going outside of classroom education.”【语篇解读】你有没有去过科学博物馆？专家们认为通过参观科学博物馆的方式学习科学知识是一个很好的选择。5What

world.Whichever variety is used in your country，the most important thing is that students pronunciation must be good enough for another person to understand what they are trying to say.In a PPP lesson，teachers naturally include a good model of the pronunciation when they are presenting new vocabulary，grammar or functional language.It is important to start by helping your students recognize sounds before you expect them to pronounce them.Spoken British English has 44 sounds，but there are only 26 letters in the alphabet for written English.This sometimes makes English pronunciation and spelling different，so it is not always best to write words on the blackboard at the early stages.Also，some sounds in English do not exist in some other languages.This can make it very difficult for students to recognize these sounds and even more difficult for them to pronounce them correctly.So some students need to do a lot of work on these sounds，listening to them，trying to recognize them and trying to copy them.If you can understand and pronounce the symbols of the phonetic alphabet，this will help you to pronounce any word in the dictionary.You can teach this phonetic alphabet to your students and this will make teaching pronunciation much easier.However，you can teach pronunciation effectively without knowing the phonetic alphabet.Pronouncing English well is not just about getting the individual sounds right.Students need to know：which parts of a word are stressed(spoken louder and longer)；which parts of a sentence are stressed；basic intonation patterns；what it means when we change the intonation in a sentence (the music of the language)；how to link together the sounds within a sentence.Students need practice in all these areas to improve their pronunciation.【语篇解读】英语的种类如此之多，如何能让别人更好地理解你要表达的意思？本文作者向我们介绍了如何教授英语发音。9Following the passage，the author would probably A. emphasize the importance of correct pronunciationBsay how to teach the phonetic alphabetCwrite about how to teach pronunciation without the phonetic alphabetDexplain in detail how to practise the five suggestions【解析】推理判断题。从全文特别是文章的最后两段便能推断出答案。【答案】D10Which of the following can NOT prove that English pronunciation is difficult?A. There are more sounds than letters in English.BEnglish contains some unique sounds that other languages dont have.CKnowing how to pronounce every word doesnt mean pronouncing English well.DStudents pronunciation must be good enough for another person.【解析】细节理解题。A、B、C三个选项都与问题有关联，只有D项与问题无关。【答案】D11. In the authors opinion， A. students should pronounce every word as precisely as native speakersBthe English phonetic alphabet is a must in teaching pronunciationCit is not necessary to pronounce every word correctlyDpronunciation means more than knowing how to pronounce every single word【解析】细节理解题。从文章倒数第二段的“Pronouncing English well is not just about getting the individual sounds right.”这句话便可知作者的态度。【答案】D12. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?A.

Pronunciation【解析】标题概括题。纵观全文，此文的主题是关于如何教授英语发音的建议。【答案】BDEaves，born in 1910，recently graduated from a high school.As a girl she never went to school for her parents didnt encourage education，so when her

water，with you trapped inside，is absolutely terrifying. 16 However，most deaths result from panic，without a plan or understanding what is happening to the car in the water.By adopting a brace (支撑) position，acting decisively and getting out fast，you can save yourself from a sinking vehicle.Brace yourself for impact (撞击力)As soon as youre aware that youre going off the road and into a body of water，adopt a brace position.The impact could set off the airbag system in your vehicle，so you should place both hands on the steering wheel in the “ten and two” position.Undo your seatbelt. 17 Unbuckle the children，starting with the oldest first.Forget the cell phone call.Your car isnt going to wait for you to make the call. 18 Leave the door alone at this stage and concentrate on the window.A cars electrical system should work for up to three minutes in water，so try the method of opening it electronically first.Many people dont think about the window as an escape option either because of panic or misinformation about doors and sinking.Break the window.If you arent able to open the window，or it only opens halfway，youll need to break it with an object or your foot.It may feel counterintuitive (有悖常理的) to let water into the car. 19 Escape when the car has equalized.If it has reached the dramatic stage where the car cabin has been filled with water and it has become balanced，you must move quickly and effectively to ensure your survival. 20 While there is still air in the car，take slow，deep breaths and focus on what youre doing.ABut the sooner the window is open，the sooner you can escape directly through it.BSuch accidents are particularly dangerous to the risk of drowning.CIt takes 60 to 120 seconds for a car to fill up with water usually.DThis is the first thing to attend to，yet it often gets forgotten in the panic.EIn conclusion，if you know what to do in the water，you will be safe.FSurviving a sinking car is not as difficult as you think.GOpen the window as soon as you hit the water.【答案】1620BDGAC.完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)Two close friends，Sam and Jason，met with an accident on their way to Boston City.The following morning，Jason woke up 21
