There are more than 37, 000 known species of spiders in the world in a wide variety of shapes and sizes. The largest spiders in the world live in the rain forests of South American and are known by the people who live there as the “bird-eating spiders.”These spiders can grow up to 28 centimeters in length-about the size of a dinner plate, and , as their name suggests, have been known to eat small birds. In comparison, the smallest species of spider in the world is native to Western Samoa. These tiny spiders are less than half a millimeter long-about the size of a period on this page-and live in plants that grow on mountain rocks.

Some people like to keep spiders as pets, particularly tarantulas, which are native to North America and can live for up to twenty-five years. Most people, on the other had, don’t like touching spiders, and a significant number of people are afraid of them, mainly because of their poison. However, despite their bad reputation, only thirty of the 37,000 known species of spiders are deadly to humans. Spiders actually provide benefits to humans, by catching and eating harmful insects such as flies and mosquitoes.

The main thing that makes spiders different from other animals is that they spin webs to catch the small insects they feed on. The unique silk of a spider’s web is produced by special organs found in the lower part of the spider’s body. It is light, elastic, and strong-spider web is five times stronger than steel. Additionally, it is completely biodegradable. This means that the web will completely decompose and eventually return to nature over time-making it perfect for uses such as

making fishing nets. Some people have tried to raise spiders commercially in order to collect the silk these spiders produce, but no one has ever really managed to make a go of it. One reason why these businesses never stand a chance is because it takes 670, 000 spiders to produce half a kilogram of silk, and all of these spiders need living insects for their food. In addition, spiders are usually solitary animals, and need to be kept alone.

One Canadian company may have found a solution to making artificial spider web. In 2002, they announced that they had used genetically modified goats to produce milk that contains the chemicals used to make spider web. The company, which is funded by the U. S. army, hopes that in the long run it will be able to make large quantities of very light, very strong fiber for military and medical uses. Additionally, because the manufacture of the artificial web is based on goat’s milk and water the industry potentially would be non-polluting and environmentally friendly.

They were all left-handed, along with other famous people including Pablo Picasso, Prince William, and Marilyn Monroe. In fact, an estimated 11 percent of Americans and Europeans are left-handed. Most people around the world are right-handed. This fact also seems to have held true throughout history. In 1977, scientists studied works of art made at various times in history starting with cave drawings from 15,000 B.C. and ending with paintings from the 1950s. Most of the people shown in these works of art are right-handed, so scientists guessed that right-handedness has always been common. Many researchers claim to have found relationships between left-handedness and various 1 and 2 characteristics, such as blond hair, blue eyes, 3 , and sleep difficulties. Other studies have found a higher-than-normal level of left-handed people in certain 4 , including professional baseball and tennis players, 5 , lawyers, as well as prisoners. However, some of these connections are very weak, and others haven’t been proven. What makes a person become right-handed rather than left-handed? As yet, no one really knows for sure. One simple idea suggests that people normally get right-handedness form their parents. Studies have found that two right-handed parents have only a 9.5 percent chance of having a left-handed child, whereas two left-handed parents have a 26 percent chance of having a left-handed child. Another common theory is that left-handed people suffer 6 brain 7

浅谈如何利用多媒体上英语课

浅谈如何利用多媒体上英语课 马王堆中学陶旷 多媒体就是利用现代科学技术手段来储存和传递信息的工具。多媒体教学技术在英语教学中的使用将大大促进英语教学的成效。多媒体软件集图像、声音、文字于一体，通过生动形象、活泼的形式使学生身临其境地学习英语。 那么，如何利用多媒体上好一堂英语课呢？ 一、要有明确的教学目标： 无论是传统的教学方式，还是电化教学方式，每堂课必须要有教学目标。确定了教学目标，教学活动才能有的放矢。教学目标包括通过英语教学，使学生受到听说、读、写的全面训练，获得理解，分析语言知识的能力，从而达到初步运用英语的能力。 二、充分发挥多媒体在教学中的辅助作用： 一个优秀的多媒体外语辅助教学软件可在计算机上模拟外语环境，并附有生动的图像、解释、使学生在计算机上学英语单词、语音、语法、同时，还能参与有趣味性的情景训练。多媒体软件集图像、声音、文体于一身。给学生以耳目一新的感觉，从而使每个学生都在轻松愉快中学到一堂课应该掌握的词汇和句型，通过生动形象活泼的形式使学生积极参与身临其境地学习英语。从而使课堂教学事半功倍。 三、外媒体课件必须已学生为中心。

教师必须根据学生培养方向，学生现有水平，学生的学习需要等等，进行软件设计和程序编制。 如：在听力训练方面：教师以培养学生的听、说、能力，由浅入深，由易到难，结合生活，注入趣味，也可配以画面和音乐。让学生身临其境地学习语音、语调，进行听、写、会活练习。 四、讲究教学方法： 多媒体介入课堂丰富了教学方法，它可使课堂讲解、演示、学习变得多姿多彩，从而极大提高学生的学习兴趣，课堂教学中的五个教学环节：复习、介绍、操作、练习及巩固。使得以顺利进行，大量地节约了时间，使学生能轻松自如地在语言情景中学习英语。比如第2册85课： Ⅰ、复习（Revision） 利用电脑绘制的彩色地图复习： 1）、Where1s……？ 2）、H1s near/behind/next to/…… Ⅱ、介绍（Presentation） 利用电脑绘制彩色“交通灯”教授“trafficlights”既直观又形象。 Ⅲ、操作（Drill） 彩用电脑制作的地图和动画片操练句型。“which is the way ……”

新视野大学英语第三版2读写教程 课文Text A翻译 Unit 1 Text A 一堂难忘的英语课 1 如果我是唯一一个还在纠正小孩英语的家长，那么我儿子也许是对的。对他而言，我是一个乏味的怪物：一个他不得不听其教诲的父亲，一个还沉湎于语法规则的人，对此我儿子似乎颇为反感。 2 我觉得我是在最近偶遇我以前的一位学生时，才开始对这个问题认真起来的。这个学生刚从欧洲旅游回来。我满怀着诚挚期待问她：“欧洲之行如何” 3 她点了三四下头，绞尽脑汁，苦苦寻找恰当的词语，然后惊呼：“真是，哇！” 4 没了。所有希腊文明和罗马建筑的辉煌居然囊括于一个浓缩的、不完整的语句之中！我的学生以“哇！”来表示她的惊叹，我只能以摇头表达比之更强烈的忧虑。 】 5 关于正确使用英语能力下降的问题，有许多不同的故事。学生的确本应该能够区分诸如their/there/they're之间的不同，或区别complimentary 跟complementary之间显而易见的差异。由于这些知识缺陷，他们承受着大部分不该承受的批评和指责，因为舆论认为他们应该学得更好。 6 学生并不笨，他们只是被周围所看到和听到的语言误导了。举例来说，杂货店的指示牌会把他们引向stationary（静止处），虽然便笺本、相册、和笔记本等真正的stationery（文具用品）并没有被钉在那儿。朋友和亲人常宣称 They've just ate。实际上，他们应该说 They've just eaten。因此，批评学生不合乎情理。 7 对这种缺乏语言功底而引起的负面指责应归咎于我们的学校。学校应对英语熟练程度制定出更高的标准。可相反，学校只教零星的语法，高级词汇更是少之又少。还有就是，学校的年轻教师显然缺乏这些重要的语言结构方面的知识，因为他们过去也没接触过。学校有责任教会年轻人进行有效的语言沟通，可他们并没把语言的基本框架——准确的语法和恰当的词汇——充分地传授给学生。 8 因为语法对大多数年轻学生而言枯燥且乏味，所以我觉得讲授语法得一步一步、注重技巧地进行。有一天机会来了。我跟儿子开车外出。我们出发时，他看到一只小鸟飞得很不稳，就说：“它飞的不稳。”（It's flying so unsteady.）我小心翼翼地问：“儿子，鸟怎么飞” “有问题吗我说得不对吗（Did I say anything incorrectly）” 他一头雾水。“太好了，你说的是incorrectly而不是incorrect。我们用副词来描述动词。所以，要用unsteadily来描述鸟飞，而不是unsteady。” 9 他对我的纠正很好奇，就问我什么是副词。我慢慢解释道：“副词是用来修饰动词的词。” 这又导致了他询问我什么是动词。我解释说：“动词是表示行为的词，例如：爸爸开卡车。‘开’是动词，因为它是爸爸在做的事。” 10 他开始对表示行为的词产生兴趣，所以我们又罗列了几个动词：“飞行”、“游泳”、“跳水”、“跑步”。然后，他又好奇地问我，其他的词有没有说明它们的用法和功能的名称。这就引发了我们对名词、

The first is the 137-meter-high Great Pyramid of Giza, the largest of all the pyramids in Egypt. The second is the Great Sphinx of Giza, a sculpture with the body of a lion and the head of a man, which stands 20 meters tall and 73 meters long. The origin of the Great Sphinx of Giza goes back 5, 000 years. Although many sphinx sculptures have been found over the years, researchers believe that the Great Sphinx which guards the pyramids in Giza was actually the first one to be made (around 2600-2500 B. C.). The head of the Sphinx represents Khafre, the Pharaoh who ruled Egypt at that time. About two thousand years later, around 570 B. C., sand havd covered all but the head of the Great Sphinx. The people living in the area had forgotten the history of the statue, so they imagined that the head represented the sun god Ra and began worshiping it. The son of Pharaoh Amenhotep Ⅱ heard the head speak to him in a dream. The Sphinx’s head made him promise to clear the sand from the statue’s body. The son, Thutmose, kept his word and did what he was told in the dream. He also built walls around the statue to prevent the sand from covering it again. After all of the sand was cleared away, Thutmose made a large stone tablet that told the story of his dream. He placed this tablet between the town front feet of the Sphinx, where it stands to this day. For hundreds of years, the Sphinx attracted people both as a religious monument and as a work of art. But eventually, the desert sand once again covered the Sphinx, leaving only the head visible. It was not until the 1800s that archaeologists began clearing the sand from the statue and began researching the long history of the Sphinx. At last, in the 1920s, all of the sand was finally cleared

They only teach a little grammar and less advanced vocabulary. And the younger teachers themselves have little knowledge of the vital structures of language. 4、Because teaching grammar is not an easy job and most of the students will easily get bored if it’s not properly dealt with. 5、He familiarized his son with different parts of speech in a sentence and discussed their specific grammatical functions including how to use adverbs to describe verbs. 6、Because the son had never heard about the various names and functions of words in an English sentence before. 7、The author uses “road map”and “car”to describe grammar and vocabulary. Here,“road map”is considered as grammar and “car”as vocabulary. 8、Since the subjunctive mood his son used is a fairly advanced grammar structure, the interjection“whoa!”reflects the tremendous pride the father had toward his son; it also reflects the author’s humor in using the word because it was once used by his student, though in two different situations and with two different feelings.

如何上好一堂高中英语阅读课

如何上好一堂高中英语阅读课 高金梅 内蒙古集宁一中 关键字英语阅读文化背景语法词汇技巧方法 摘要阅读教学就是培养学生有效地进行阅读，培养学生在短时间内获取更多的信息并对信息进行分析推理判断的能力，所以教师要进行有效地教学，让学生在了解文化背景知识，掌握一定的词汇语法知识，有一定的阅读技巧的基础上进行阅读，阅读的效果通过练习进行检测。 随着信息社会的出现，教育既要传播信息，又要培养学生摄取信息、处理信息的能力，而阅读教学的目的就是在于培养交际性阅读能力,有效地获取书面信息，并对此信息进行分析，推理和评价，以实现交际的目的。 阅读课在英语教学中占有重要的地位，它是提高英语教学质量的主要途径，在阅读教学中，教师应改变观念，以学生为主体、教师为主导，加强对学生阅读技能的训练，采用阅读前作有效的导入，阅读中要善于提出明确的目标，阅读后加强训练以巩固，同时还要培养学生的自学能力，切实提高学生的阅读水平。英语阅读在英语教学中无疑有着举足轻重的作用，阅读亦为英语学习输入的重要手段。因此，提高学生的阅读水平至关重要。那么，如何才能达到此目的呢？本人认为，应该从以下几方面着手： 1.了解文化背景知识。 在阅读前，如果我们对某方面的背景知识很了解，不仅可以提高阅读速度，而且可以提高我们对阅读时的信心和加深对文章的理解。有了背景知识，我们不必明白文章中的每一个单词就能理解文章。所以在平时教学中，有必要让学生查阅一些相关资料或者利用多媒体给学生演示一些相关的文化背景知识，这样可以扩宽学生的视野，提高学生阅读的兴趣。例如：十八世纪英国历史时有这样一个句子：“The last was the Battle of Waterlo o, won by the duke of Wellington over the great Napoleon, a victory so important and so complete that today, when we say that a man will …meet his Waterloo?, we mean he will encounter final disaster.”此句中提到了一位历史人物拿破仑（Napoleon）和一场著名的战役———滑铁卢战役（The Battle of Waterloo）。首先来了解一下拿破仑的身世，他在1804-1815 年间任法国皇帝，史称拿破仑一世。而滑铁卢是位于比利时首都布鲁塞尔以南20 公里处的小村。1815 年6 月，拿破仑一世与反法同盟联军在这里展开了最后的决战。结果，拿破仑败北，遭终生流放，这就是著名的滑铁卢之战。滑铁卢也因此而闻名于世，它几乎成了最终失败的代名词。该句中“meet his Waterloo”意指“最终遭受惨败”（尤指经过一段成功之后）。因此，当我们说一个人将“meet his Waterloo”时，指的就是他将遭受彻底的失败。又如对下列这段文字的理解：Tony Trivisonno came to America seeking the American Dream. But he didn?t find it-he created it for himself. All he had were 24 precious hours a day，and he wasted none of them. 这段话选自弗雷德里克·C·克罗弗德（Frederick C. Crawford）的短篇故事“Tony Trivisonno?s American Dream”。这段话是对托尼追寻美国梦的描述。从字面上看，我们只能理解到作者在描述一个勤奋的移民来美国努力工作，最终成功的故事。但如果我们结合“美国梦”及美国人生活特点这一社会文化背景，我们就会发现美国梦对不同的人有不同的意义。但对许多人尤其是对移民而言，它意味着改善自己生活的机会。了解了这一点，我们就会更好地理解这篇文章的潜在涵义。 2.注重词汇和语法知识。 阅读理解不是一项独立的英语技能，它与词汇、语法、文化背景知识等密切相关。因此，在平时的教学活动中，我们要重视学生的单词、语法知识和文化背景知识的积累。 (1)打好词汇基础。每一篇文章都是由词汇组成的，词汇的记忆和应用是阅读理解的第一步。高中学生应该具有3000多词汇量，这需要在平时让学生通过音标，构词法，同义词反义词
