第四节
【趣味英语】春节小知
世界节日（1）Spring 对于短文,要通过阅读题目及选项,找到各项内容之间的联系,了解短文的大概内容,并有可能进行初步的推断。
通过阅读本题的各个题目,把主干部分连在一起:the newcomers have come to London->do something on Friday morning->take part in the games->start a trip to the historical city of Bath。由此基本上可知一个大致的情况。通过题目中反复出现的lecture,school,students,teacher,Sunday可知21小题中他们此行与school有关,既然是newcomers,不可能只是visit,因此B是可能的选项。第25小题中最合情理的是C项。

第21小题:在听力材料中可以听到Now it is time to welcome all the newcomers to International English School.You are all here to improve your business English skills,可知正确选项是B。
第22小题:通过听到的So,starting with Friday,in the morning we thought you’d want to visit this city...a few museums...,so we’ve organized a visit to one...可确定答案B。
第23小题:在关于games的一句话中,可听到that’ll help you get to know your fellow newcomers,可推断出此题的答案应是A。
第24小题:在听的过程中只要把文中出现的几个时间及相应的活动快速记下来:3pm—games,7pm—film,10am—set off,6am—collect materials,就会得出此题选项D。
第25小题:能回答上来前面几个问题,就可排除B与D项。文中提到film时说which is free only to all International English School members,而提到Sunday时说we’ve left it entirely up to you how you spend the day,both in the morning and the afternoon,所以正确选项是C。
(B)
26.Why does the author tell the young people to use simple language?

C.How to keep a diary.
D.How to write stories.
先进行听前阅读:第26小题B项与C项不符合情理,应排除。A与D相比较,A 更为合理。第27小题中,根据常识可知B项不可能。其它三项中A项更为合理。第28小题中B项更为合理。结合前四个题目的内容,可初步推断出第30小题的选项很可能是D。听此篇独白,可知是作者结合自己的经验谈故事创作的建议。第一点所谈的建议确证了第26小题的选项A。第27小题选项A正是第二点建议的中心。第28小题需要对第三点建议进行概括,也正
是选项B。因为文中有明确的firstly,secondly,lastly,不难确定第29小题的选项B。
结合开篇第一句话( 即主题句),以及对全文的概括,可进一步确定第30小题选项D。
录音原文:
Listen to the following two passages and choose the best answer to each question. Each passage will be read twice.
Passage A
Now it is time to welcome all the newcomers to International English School.You are all here to improve your business English skills.This weekend,which is your first in London,we’ll offer to help you get used to your new surroundings in an unusual and exciting way. So, starting with Friday,in the morning we thought you’d want to visit this city—we know that some of you have already visited a few museums in the neighbourhood,so we’ve organized a visit to one for those who are interested.
At 3 p.m. we’ve planned games that’ll help you get to know your fellow newcomers.You’ll all be rather tired after dinner so we thought you might like to see a film at 7 p.m.,which is free only to all International English School members.
On Saturday we have organized a day trip to visit the historical city of
Now on Sunday,we’ve left it entirely up to you how you spend the day,both in the morning and the afternoon.Most of you will want to prepare yourselves for the beginning of your classes on Monday.On Sunday evening,however,at about 6 p.m.,I’ll ask you to come to the main lecture hall to collect your study materials and meet your teachers.
OK, that’s all for now.Thank you.
Passage B
I’d like to give some advice to the young people who want to start writing stories,although it is difficult for me to do so.
Firstly,use simple language.I didn’t read a book until I was about eleven.It was then that I discovered the pleasure of reading.I’d read any stories I found.Sometimes there were so many long,difficult words I didn’t know.I had to spend much time looking them up.Too many difficult words will tire the readers out,which makes them lose interest in the story.New young writers should try to produce stories by using simple language.Don’t use lots of long words and complex sentences.
Secondly,keep a personal diary.To begin with,it is necessary to write down all the little things that happen to you day after day,keep a record of all this,because it will enrich your writing.Good stories are often made up of interesting details.
Lastly,do a lot of research.The important thing is that you should know exactly what you are going to write about.Make sure that the subject you’ve chosen is something you’re really familiar with.When I wrote my latest book,there was going to be an elephant in the story,so I read a lot about them and even visited the zoo to take a closer look at them.If you’ve done the hard work,then the writing itself is easy.
