教学素材 | 卿卿日常之共话九川美食（下）

卿卿日常之共话九川美食（下）刘彩娟 供稿来啦！来啦！上次和大家说会有下篇，这就来啦~下面请大家和小编一起探究剩下来的五川——胭川、墨川、苍川、金川以及新川的美食吧！胭川 & 胭川美食关于胭川，剧中提到“南部胭川地小物博，盛产花卉水果”，还将其形容为“盛产美女的江南小镇”，这不由得让我们想到江浙一带。并且，来自胭川的郝葭在一次聚餐中给大家带了醋鱼、油焖春笋和梅子酒等食物，大家都知道醋鱼是典型的江浙菜，而油闷春笋是杭州三十六道名菜之一。因此，我们可以推测胭川对应我国的江浙地区。那大家知道以上我们提到的三道佳肴的英语是什么吗？醋鱼：sweet-and-sour carp; carp in sweet and sour sauce油闷春笋：braised spring bamboo shootsbraise v. 文火炖，焖When you braise meat or a vegetable, you fry it quickly and then cook it slowly in a covered dish with a small amount of liquid.braise还可用于翻译以下菜肴：1) 黄焖鸡米饭：braised chicken with rice2) 浓油赤酱的炖菜：braises in dark soy sauce3) 魔芋烧鸭：braised duck with shredded（切碎的）konjak（魔芋）4) 烧排骨：braised pork ribs梅子酒：plum wine讲到酒，大家是不是想到了白酒、啤酒、起泡酒等各种酒呢？喜欢小酌一杯的朋友一定对不同的酒如数家珍吧，下面就让我们看一下除了梅子酒以外，其他各种酒的英文表达吧！生活中我们常见的有啤酒（beer）、葡萄酒（wine）、果酒（fruit wine）和香槟（champagne）。除此之外，还会见到一些烈酒（liquor/spirit），包括白兰地（brandy）、威士忌（whiskey）、伏特加（vodka）、龙舌兰（tequila）、朗姆酒（rum）、杜松子酒（gin）、中国白酒（spirit）、日本清酒（sake）等。墨川 & 墨川美食关于墨川，剧中提到：“北方的墨川兵力强盛，牧民散居。”这句话有没有让大家想到我国的内蒙古？霜降姑娘带给大家的老家特产手切羊肉也是内蒙古的特色美食。但是剧中众人在墨川吃饭时，餐桌上的大肉包、大馒头、大分量的饭菜又不得不让我们想到我国东北地区，而且剧中人物台词提到“一定要尝尝咱们墨川的烧刀子”，“烧刀子”号称烈酒之王，是东北著名的酒品佳酿。因此，墨川可能是内蒙古或东北地区。那我们接下来看看手切羊肉、肉包、馒头和烧刀子的英文是什么吧！手切羊肉：boiled mutton肉包：steamed meat dumpling / steamed meat bun大家看到dumpling是不是有些疑惑，心想dumpling不是饺子嘛，但是对一些“脸盲”的外国人来说，很多皮包着馅儿的面团都可以被称作dumpling，而dumpling这个词在朗文词典中的英文释义也是a round lump of flour and fat mixed with water, cooked in boiling liquid and served with meat。上海的小杨生煎自称Yang’s Dumpling，汤圆可以说sweet dumpling，粽子是sticky rice dumpling。当然，教会你的外国友人快速辨别各种dumpling的办法，就是下次请他或她吃一顿中式早茶，感受一下中国美食的包罗万象吧！馒头：steamed bun烧刀子：Shao Daozi liquor“烧刀子”一看就是非常地道的中式表达，这里的“烧”可不是烧烤，而是指烈性酒火烧般的口感，因此我们直接音译即可，外国友人看到liquor也会明白这是我国的一种烈性白酒。苍川 & 苍川美食剧中提到苍川“干燥贫瘠，物资稀缺”，“干燥”二字估计已经让大家想到黄沙漫漫的陕甘宁和新疆一带吧！而且剧中来自苍川的三少主夫人董海棠的名字正取自苍川海棠果，那什么是海棠果呢？小编查找资料后发现海棠果是苹果属的植物，耐旱，很适合干旱少雨的西北地区。因此，苍川很有可能对应我国的西北地区啦！海棠果：plum-leaved crab apple大家有没有疑惑为什么水果里会出现crab（螃蟹）这个单词呢？小编一开始也有些不解，经查资料发现有两种说法：一种说法是crab来自瑞典语scrabba，该词在瑞典语中的意思是“野苹果树的果子（fruit of the wild apple tree）”；另一种说法是crab来源于crabbed，其意思是“暴躁的，乖戾的”，在此衍生为crab apple时具有一定贬义，指这种果子味道酸涩，不太可口。金川 & 金川美食下面让我们来看带着富贵气息的金川，剧中形容金川“沿海，贸易兴盛，世代经商逐利，以多金者为尊”，一提到经济发达的地区，我们势必会想到长三角一带。剧中还提到“九川共三条长河，皆于金川入海”，提到入海口以及经济富庶的地方，大家会想到哪里呢？没错，就是上海。上海是长江的入海口。并且，剧中还提到的金川特色“白斩鸡”也是上海十大经典名菜之一。因此，金川很可能就是我国的上海。那我们看看白斩鸡的英语表达吧！白斩鸡：Chinese poached chicken / white cut chicken / white sliced chickenpoach v. to gently cook food, especially fish, in a small amount of boiling water, milk, etc. 水煮；炖；煨，多指炖鱼大家还记不记得油闷春笋里讲到了braise这个词，braise也有“文火炖”的意思，那braise和poach有什么区别呢？小编在外网找到了一条通俗易懂的解释：Braising involves browning the meat on all sides before adding liquid and cooking it. Poaching means just simmering it in liquid without browning it.看到这个回答大家应该明白了，一般braise还包括煎炸或者用酱油上色的过程。新川 & 新川美食最后我们看一下九川之首新川，网上对于新川对应我国的哪个地区也争议纷纷。有网友认为是有古都遗风的河南，因为剧中说“新川重农”，而河南正是我国的农业大省。也有人认为是我国现在的首都北京，因为剧中说“新川有一家香酥烤鸭特别好吃，外焦里嫩，加上黄瓜条和葱丝”，这不得不让人想到北京烤鸭。那新川到底对应我国哪个地区？就交给大家判断吧！不过，小编倒是可以告诉大家烤鸭的英语！烤鸭：roast duck大家看到这里还记得“烧鹅”的英语是什么吗？（要是忘了的话就去上篇回顾一下哦）“烤”是西方国家常用一种烹饪方式，但不是所有的烤都是roast，我们可以在英文中找到很多其他关于“烧，烤”的表达，比如bake、grill、toast等等，我们一起来看看各种“烤”的差异吧！toastv. to make bread or other food brown by placing it close to heat 烘、烤（面包或其他食品）从释义可以看出来，toast 多指烤面包，我们所熟知的“土司”也恰恰是这个英文单词的音译！bake v. to cook something using dry heat, in an oven 烘，烤，焙例如：bake a cake/pizza/potato/cookies 烘焙蛋糕/烤披萨/烤土豆/烤饼干grill v. to cook food on a metal frame over a fire 一般指在烤架上烤roast v. to cook something, such as meat, in an oven or over a fire, or to cook in this way炙，烤（肉等）。例如：roast the pork for an hour 把猪肉烤1小时需要注意的是，roast除了作动词，也可以作形容词，表示“烤的，焙的”，这即是roast在roast duck之中的用法。除此之外，roast也可以指将坚果、豆子等烤（炒）干，因此冬日里大家最喜欢的炒栗子也可以译为roast chestnuts啦！到这里我们的“卿卿日常之共话九川美食”就结束啦，需要说明的是，对于以上九川对应我国的哪个地区是小编根据自己的追剧经历以及一些博主的介绍推测的，大家也可以有不同的意见哦！除了推理九川对应当今中国的哪些地理位置，还希望这篇文章能帮助大家熟悉各类美食的英文。这些英文没有固定的表达，只要能够让国际友人get到这些美食的精髓即可！最后小编推荐大家看一本书Shark’s Fin and Sichuan Pepper（《鱼翅与花椒》），看看外国友人眼里的川渝美食是什么样子吧！（封面图片来源于摄图网，版权归摄图网所有）

教学素材 | “将”=will?

英语百宝箱：“将”=will 吗？供稿人 刘彩娟上次小编和大家分享了“‘充满’的花式表达”，后台收到一位来自云南的小伙伴的留言：“血书跪求多出这种系列的文章”。一直以来小编都是有求必应，因此特意为大家准备了今天这篇推文！大家平时在写英语作文或者做翻译时，是不是经常需要传递“未来某件事情会发生”这样的信息呢？大家脑子里第一时间蹦出来的是不是“will”或者“would”？其实英语中很多表达有异曲同工之妙，而且有时这些表达更贴合语境，语调也更悦耳！下面就和小编一起来看看吧！语法篇1. be about to do sth.① I’m about to embark on a new journey. (Modern Family) 我即将开始一段新的旅程了。② Because I am about to die of thirst. (The Little Prince) 因为我要渴死了。③ Neither Boeing nor Airbus is about to go bust. (The Economist) 波音公司和空中客车公司都不会破产2. be going to do sth.① They’re going to fight this tooth and nail.(House of Cards)他们打算全力阻挠此事。② Are you going to hit him? I’d totally beat him. (Modern Family)你要去揍他吗？我绝对去揍他。③ I am going to learn how to bake this summer.今年夏天我要学习烘焙。3. 移位动词现在进行时表将来——arrive/come/leave/return/travel 等等① I am leaving for Shanghai this Sunday. 我这周日要去上海。② Where are you travelling to? 你要去哪里呀？进阶篇1. expect to do sth. / be expected to do sth.expect 除了大家熟知的“期待”之意外，还有“预期/预计”的意思，用于表示客观上会发生某件事情的预计、预料，相当于will，不过 expect 多了一层“预测/推断”的意思。① They are expected to pass ushering in some of the toughest laws in the US. (BBC) 他们有望同意引入美国最严厉的法律。② The auction, which drew four big operators, is expected to last several weeks. (The Economist) 这场拍卖会吸引了四大运营商，预计将持续数周。③ Light rail is expected to handle much of the Olympic traffic. (VOA) 预计轻轨将承担奥运期间的大部分交通流量。④ I expect to come back three days later. 我预计三天后回来。2. be scheduled to do sth. schedule用作动词意为“to plan that something will happen at a particular time”， 中文意为“排定/预定”，指某件事情按计划将在未来某个时间点发生，因此也可以用来表示“将/将要”。① The collision is scheduled to happen tonight. (CNN) 撞击将于今晚发生。② NBA games are scheduled to resume in three days. (CNN) NBA将在三天后复赛。 be scheduled for release/publication/completion etc.① Their first album is scheduled for release in September. 他们将于九月份发行首张专辑。② The project is scheduled for completion in mid-2025.该项目计划于2025年中旬结束。3. be set to do sth. “be set to do sth.”指准备好将要做某事。① A trial was set to begin this week. (CNN) 审判将于本周进行。② That is when a new British law is set to go into effect. (VOA) 届时英国一项新法律将生效。③ With Africa’s population set to quadruple by the end of the century, this is not a theoretical question. (TED) 本世纪末非洲人口将翻两番，届时这就不只是一个理论上的问题了。4. be on the point of (doing) sth. 这个俗语意为“to be going to do something very soon”，指某事很快就要发生了。① The train was on the point of starting. 火车要开了。② The steamer lay puffing alongside the quay, on the point of starting. (Around the World in 80 Days) 停在码头边的轮船，烟囱里正冒着烟，即将起航。以上就是有关“将/将要”的花式表达啦，请大家慢慢消化吸收！希望大家切记，有些时候确实需要will/would这样的表达。不同的单词或短语功能不同、特质不同，使用的场合也就不同，请大家一定要注意使用的语境哦！（封面图片来源于摄图网，版权归摄图网所有）

教学素材 | 卿卿日常之共话九川美食（上）

卿卿日常之共话九川美食（上篇）刘彩娟 供稿最近《卿卿日常》热播，大家有没有感觉到满屏溢满了粉色泡泡呢？在疯狂磕CP的同时大家是否也被九川的各色美食吸引了呢？这些美食用英语怎么说？（悄悄说一句，本剧改编自小说《清穿日常》，剧中的九川虽是虚构，但也是以我国某些地区为原型的哦！）接下来请大家和小编一道，推理一下九川各自对应我国的哪些地区，并了解了解各地美食的英文表达吧。霁川 & 霁川美食首先我们来看女主李薇的老家霁川，剧中虽没有直接介绍霁川的自然环境，但是剧中画面中呈现的霁川图景中有梯田，并且女主提到了自己家乡美食“火瓢牛肉”、“鸡枞菌”、“银耳”、“普洱茶”等等，很明显是在暗示我国云南省。但是女主也提到了台湾地区的“冬瓜茶”、安徽的“毛豆腐”、还有湖北的“莲藕”，谈到这里，大家可以自行抉择“霁川”是云南或是云南、台湾、安徽和湖北四地的集合体，小编就将选择权交给大家啦。下面，我们看一下这些美食的英文名称吧！火瓢牛肉：huo piao beef hot pot / tong piao beef hot pot火瓢牛肉，又名铜瓢牛肉，是云南的一道特色美食。“火”是指煮牛肉用的炭火，用炭火烹饪可凸显出牛肉的香味和口感，“瓢”则是指煮牛肉用的铜瓢，用铜瓢煮出来的牛肉更加美味鲜嫩。可以说这道菜以原生态烹制的方式保留了原食材的口感，令人回味无穷。银耳：snow fungus普洱茶：pu’er tea / pu-erh tea除了普洱茶，常见的还有红茶、绿茶等各种茶，我们一起看看它们怎么用英文来表达吧！红茶：black tea绿茶：green tea乌龙茶：oolong tea白茶：white tea花茶：floral tea茉莉花茶：jasmine tea冬瓜茶：white gourd tea / winter melon tea冬瓜茶是以冬瓜和糖为原材料，长时间熬煮成汤汁的饮料，有清热解毒、生津止渴、清肝明目的功效。冬瓜茶内还可加入椰果、仙草、汤圆或是柠檬、乌龙茶等配料，冷热饮都有，在中国台湾地区已经有一百多年的历史。毛豆腐：hairy tofu莲藕：lotus root丹川 & 丹川美食对于丹川，剧中有台词道：“人人嗜辣的丹川则由女子掌家”。丹川的人们喜又麻又辣的东西，加上丹川男子的“耙耳朵”称呼，这不是妥妥的川渝地区嘛！剧中展现的火锅、串串、冰粉、水煮肉等都是令人垂涎三尺的川渝美食，我们一起看看它们用英文怎么说吧！火锅：hot pot谈到火锅，我们肯定不能错过各种口味的汤底（soup base），大家知道各种汤底用英文怎么表达吗？麻辣锅：spicy broth清汤锅：plain broth菌汤锅：mushroom soup hot pot鸳鸯锅：double-flavor hot pot番茄锅：tomato soup broth串串香：Chuan Chuan Xiang冰粉：Sichuan Cold Jelly / Iced Jelly / Bingfen水煮肉片：boiled sliced pork in chili sauce黛川 & 黛川美食剧中提及黛川“山脉纵横，盛产矿石”，并且来自黛川的嫡长主夫人赵芳如经常做螺蛳粉、臭豆腐、臭鳜鱼等美食。我们知道，螺蛳粉、臭豆腐、臭鳜鱼分别是广西、湖南、安徽的美食。剧中也提到“黛川的茶天下闻名”，在以上几个省份，产茶最富盛名的就是安徽。而说到矿产，安徽有煤矿，湖南和广西的有色金属也不少。因此，我们大致可以推测黛川可能是广西、湖南和安徽的“结合体”。谈完地理位置，我们来看一下与上面提到的美食相关的英语：螺蛳粉：Luosifen rice noodles了解了螺蛳粉的英文名称，大家知道怎么用英文形容这道美食的“怪味儿”吗？下面我们一起来看一段外网上相关的报道：“Just like the notorious durian fruit, this snail-based rice noodle soup dish has created a buzz on Chinese social media thanks to its infamous smell. While some claim the scent is mildly sour, others say it should be classed as a bioweapon.“众所周知，榴莲以‘臭’闻名，而螺蛳粉也因为难闻的气味在中国社交媒体引发热议。有人说螺蛳粉只是稍微带些酸味，而有些人则将其形容为生化武器。（小编PS：果然是爱恨两个极端）“Luosifen originated in Liuzhou, a city in China’s north-central Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region. It features rice vermicelli soaked in a spicy broth, topped with locally grown ingredients including bamboo shoots, string beans, turnips, peanuts and tofu skin.”“螺蛳粉起源于中国广西壮族自治区中北部的柳州市，其特色在于泡在辣汤里的米粉，粉面撒有土生土长的竹笋、豆角、萝卜、花生和豆皮等食材。”臭豆腐：stinky tofu臭鳜鱼：stinky mandarin fish / smelly mandarin fish大家有没有发现臭豆腐和臭鳜鱼的英语表达都用到了同一个单词stinky？它在朗文词典上的英文释义为smelling unpleasant。别看这个释义很温和，其实stinky所表示的“臭”可不是一般的臭，形容臭鸡蛋的气味时就会用到这个词。这时，大家是不是隔着屏幕都能闻到这股怪异的味道啦？例句：That’s the molecule that gives rotten eggs their stinky smell.正是这种分子使坏鸡蛋散发出一股难闻的味道。莹川 & 莹川美食剧中说“东南莹川雨量充沛，四季常青”，并且将这里形容为“佛系养生的鱼米之乡”，由此我们可以定位到我国的江南和岭南一带。除此之外，剧中还提到来自莹川的大少夫人喜爱煲汤，并且给大家准备了烧鹅，这两样美食加起来不得不让我们想到一个地方——广东。那广东经典名菜“烧鹅”的英语是什么呢？烧鹅：roast goose广东烧鹅起源自烤鸭，是粤菜中的一道传统名菜，它以整鹅去翅和头烤制而成。成菜腹含卤汁，滋味醇厚。今天我们就聊到这里，欲知其他五川的美食，请大家继续关注我们哦！下篇更精彩，不容错过！（封面图片来源于摄图网，版权归摄图网所有）

练习 | 为何疫情期间学生在数学方面最困难？

为何疫情期间学生在数学方面最困难？Why Did Students Struggle Most in Math during the Pandemic?刘立军 供稿TRANSCRIPTStudents at American public schools struggled in math during the pandemic.The National Assessment of Education Progress (NAEP) is a math and reading test given to fourth and eighth grade students in public schools around the country. Results from this year showed that students’ scores had the largest decreases in math since 1990, when the test was first released.All areas of the U.S. reported lower test scores in math. More than one-third of students scored below basic levels. The decreases were also more severe in math than in reading.There has been a lot of evidence showing that students struggled with remote learning during the pandemic. They especially struggled with math, said Frances Anderson. She is an education researcher with the University of Nebraska-Omaha and a former teacher. Her work centers on math ability.She said in an interview with The Conversation that students, who are not as skilled in math, need more face-to-face learning.Anderson said that during remote learning, “teachers didn’t have as many ways to keep students engaged. It was difficult to do hands-on activities and project-based learning, which are better for students who struggle in math.”She added that a lot teaching math is visual learning. “You need so much more than one screen,” she said.Heather Hill and Jon Star are professors at Harvard University’s school of education. They spoke on Harvard University’s education podcast about the NAEP results. Hill said, “Math scores have always been more sensitive than reading and English scores to students’ opportunities to learn.”She said a lot of reading skills are developed in the home, in addition to school. Kids can read books and the internet at home, or read text messages from friends, for example. But there are fewer ways for kids to work on math skills outside of the classroom.“School is the only place that kids, for the most part, learn math,” Hill said.Star, who is also a math teacher, argued that NAEP scores were low for eighth graders because of the age at which these students started learning remotely. He said that the two years leading up to eighth grade, where scores declined the most, are extremely important for building math skills. He said those are the years when students start moving from arithmetic to algebra, and other more complex mathematics. The NAEP for eighth graders largely tests algebra skills.“So, it’s no surprise that they’re really struggling. Those struggles are not going to be easy to make go away,” Star said.He added that in online learning, teachers were forced to teach math using the “least desirable aspects of math instruction that we would want to see.” Teachers had to lecture more and there was less student interaction, which is not as effective for math instruction, he said.“It’s not necessarily the teachers’ fault, it’s just the way that they’ve been forced to teach during the pandemic,” Star said.Hill added that there is some evidence that teachers do not perform as well when they teach math. Often, teachers do not especially enjoy math, nor think of themselves as math experts, she said. And that feeling can make it hard to teach the subject confidently.Both said it is going to very difficult for schools to make up for learning losses during the pandemic, especially for the students who struggled the most. Especially with math, students returned from the pandemic with uneven abilities. It can be hard for teachers to form lesson plans for entire classes when the skills are so varied among students, Star said.They agreed that to make up for the loss in learning, students are going to need a lot of extra help outside the classroom.“Students who have fallen behind should have twice as much instruction,” said Anderson, from the University of Nebraska.Resources should go to students and communities which struggled the most, often minorities, Hill suggested. For example, tutoring students in small groups can help kids catch up in math.Hill said although difficulties lie ahead, “Kids are pretty resilient. You give kids opportunities to learn and they learn stuff.”I’m Dan Novak.VOCABULARY1. severe v. extremely bad or serious 极为恶劣的；十分严重的2. hands-on adj. doing sth. rather than just talking about it 动手的；实际操作的。例如：hands-on computer training 计算机操作培训3. algebra n. a type of mathematics in which letters and symbols are used to represent quantities 代数4. resilient adj. able to feel better quickly after sth. unpleasant such as shock, injury, etc. 可迅速恢复的；有适应力的。例如：He’ll get over it ― young people are amazingly resilient. 他会克服这些的——年轻人的适应力惊人。5. stuff n.

练习 | 儿童呼吸道疾病

儿童呼吸道疾病Respiratory diseases in children刘立军 供稿TRANSCRIPTVismita Gupta-SmithWe are seeing a spike in respiratory diseases among children in many parts of the world. What are the symptoms? What are the red flags and how can parents protect their children? Hello and welcome to Science in 5. I'm Vismita Gupta Smith. We are talking to Dr. Wilson Were today. Welcome, Wilson. Wilson, speak to us about this spike that we are seeing in respiratory diseases in children.Dr Wilson WereWe are seeing a spike in respiratory diseases in children, particularly those under ten years of age, beyond the typical flu season we are experiencing during fall and winter months. This unusual spike in cases has been reported in several countries in Europe, including France, Netherlands, Sweden and the United Kingdom and also in the United States. They are seeing an increasing number of children hospitalized with acute respiratory infections caused by common respiratory viruses such as influenza, parainfluenza, respiratory syncytial virus, commonly called RSV, adenoviruses and coronaviruses, including COVID-19. In addition, we are also seeing increasing cases of pharyngitis and skin infection caused by bacteria called group A cryptococcal infection. This may be because we are back to relative normalcy after COVID-19 and seeing viruses and bacteria spread again. Maybe some children do not have prior infections, so don’t have any built-in immunity. Or maybe some of these viruses changed just a little bit and seem to be spreading faster. Maybe some children are getting multiple infections, so becoming more sicker than usual. So it could be any of these reasons as we try to figure out which particular one.Vismita Gupta-SmithWilson, what are the symptoms? What are the red flags that the parents should be looking out for?Dr Wilson WereTypically, children will have cold or flu-like symptoms, with a runny nose or nasal congestion sneezing with a scratched throat, irritating throat, a cough, some might have a fever or change in their ability to eat or drink. In most cases, parents and caregivers can manage these symptoms. However, in some cases it may be associated with group A Streptococcal infection. In this case, children will have a sore throat, a headache, muscle pains and a fever, along with a fine reddish rash, which is called scarlet fever. But watch out for the red flags. Worsening of these symptoms. Specifically if your child is breathing too fast or having trouble breathing with the upper tummy getting sucked in, which we call chest in-drawing, or when the lips or skin are turning blue, or when the child is constantly running a high temperature or throwing up or is unable to breastfeed, drink or eat. And in the case of group A Streptococcal infection, they have painful skin and bones. Then, you know, it’s time to immediately consult a health provider or go to hospital.Vismita Gupta-SmithWilson, what can parents do to protect their children from these diseases?Dr Wilson WereThere are three things parents can do to protect their children. First is practice good hygiene. Cover your mouth and nose with a mask or tissue. Cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze. Cough in your elbow or sneeze in your elbow. Throw away used tissues immediately and wash your hands. Wash your hands regularly with soap or use a hand sanitizer. Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth. The second thing is to keep up to date with child’s vaccination, including for influenza and COVID-19. The third thing is breastfeeding, if your child is breastfeeding because breast milk is protective against these viruses in young infants.VOCABULARY1. spike n. a sudden large increase in sth. 猛增；急升。例如：a spike in oil prices油价的急剧上涨2. red flag 危险信号3. acute adj. an acute illness is one that has quickly become severe and dangerous（疾病）急性的4. parainfluenza n. 副流感病毒5. syncytial virus 合胞体病毒，融合细胞病毒6. adenovirus n. 腺病毒7. pharyngitis n. a condition in which the throat is red and sore 咽炎8. normalcy n. 常态，正常9. built-in immunity 内置免疫力10. scratched throat 沙哑的喉咙11. irritating throat 刺激性喉部12. reddish rash 红疹13. scarlet fever: a serious infectious disease that causes fever and red marks on the skin 猩红热14. hygiene n. the practice of keeping yourself and your living and working areas clean in order to prevent illness and disease 卫生15. sanitizer n.（食物加工设备所用的）消毒杀菌剂16. infant n. a baby or very young child 婴儿；幼儿QUESTIONSRead the passage.

What are the symptoms? What are the red flags and how can parents protect their children? Hello and welcome to Science in 5. I’m Vismita Gupta Smith. We are talking to Dr. Wilson Were today. Welcome, Wilson. Wilson, speak to us about this spike that we are seeing in respiratory diseases in children.Dr Wilson WereWe are seeing a spike in respiratory diseases in children, particularly those under (Q2) ten years of age, beyond the typical flu season we are experiencing during (Q3) fall and winter months. This unusual spike in cases has been reported in several countries in Europe, including France, Netherlands, Sweden and the United Kingdom and also in the United States. They are seeing an increasing number of children hospitalized with acute respiratory infections caused by (Q4) common respiratory viruses such as influenza, parainfluenza, respiratory syncytial virus, commonly called RSV, adenoviruses and coronaviruses, including COVID-19. In addition, we are also seeing increasing cases of pharyngitis and skin infection caused by bacteria called group A cryptococcal infection. This may be because we are back to (Q5) relative normalcy after COVID-19 and seeing viruses and bacteria spread again. Maybe some children do not have (Q6) prior infections, so don’t have any built-in immunity. Or maybe some of these viruses (Q7) changed just a little bit and seem to be spreading faster. Maybe some children are getting (Q8) multiple infections, so becoming more sicker than usual.

第11届教学大赛职业院校组二等奖杨羚授课

授课点评：授课总评：杨羚老师口语流利，发音标准，语言基本功扎实，备课充分、精心设计，活动丰富，突出重点，层层推进，信息技术有效融入语言教学，教学目标较好达成。本节课程教学特点如下：1）教学目标清楚，与单元主题切合（to know something about genetic test），知识与技能融合（to master the use of adverbial conjunctions and understand the passage with different reading skills），符合学生的需求，关注教学中的价值引领和传递，具可操作性。2）以学生为中心，教学围绕问题展开，激发学生思考，培养了学生研究性学习的意识。开始上课时，教师手里拿着一根试管问学生：What’s this？并随后抛出连串的问题：what’s the use of the tube? What can genetic test tell you? Do you want to take a genetic test? Why or why not? 通过问题，引入主题，拓宽学习的深度和广度，体现了课堂教学内容与主题的适切性和延展性。3）教学各环节围绕教学目标，层层深入，自然衔接，内容、知识呈现多元化，提问、游戏、填空、讨论等形式多样的互动加深学生对课文的理解、对语言知识的掌握和对语言技能的运用。4）教学思路清晰，逻辑性强，指令明确，教师有亲和力，课堂气氛热烈。授课表现：1) 教师布置作业时，注意对课后学习进行指导，在布置第二个任务（17’41”-18’28”: Research on people’s attitude to genetic test in China and share with your classmates next time）时，提示学生用问卷调查、访谈等调研方法，建议适当运用课堂中学到的连接副词，使表达富有逻辑性，且流畅。2）教师提供的学习资源（18’28”）与课题教学内容、主题相关，体现了课内、课外教学的有效衔接，也利于个性化学习。3）前后内容自然衔接。在提及生活方式可能引发疾病时（10’10”-10’15’’），老师通过几幅图片，带领学生罗列出balance diet、regular exercise等健康的生活方式，回顾了之前听说部分的内容，新旧知识有机联系起来。4）问题讨论等活动没有给予学生足够的时间（2’50’’-3’03”: What can genetic test tell you?）。思考问题的时间太少，思路跟不上，讨论不充分，学生的参与度会受影响。建议:1）说课部分略显简单，仅用了2分16秒，建议对教学方法、教学预期效果等部分略作阐述，为下一轮教学的合理设计提供参考。2）在pre-reading环节，老师安排了词汇学习和话题讨论等任务，但是缺乏明确要求，课堂上对任务完成情况没有检测，效果无从所知。建议在课堂教学中对重点词汇进行讲解或练习，因为学生在没有理解和掌握语言形式的情况下，难以驾驭语言技能、内化知识、理解主题内容。3）教师对学生回答问题几乎都是用very good、nice work、congratulation、excellent、 very impressive等评语简单反馈，建议有针对性地指导和评价，以帮助学生更好地理解和表达。4）课程的育人功能与教学内容应自然、有机融入。最后过渡到中国梦和民族复兴这个话题和教师喜欢的那句话作为结束语，显得突然、生硬。点评专家：王朝晖教授

第11届教学大赛职业院校组二等奖钟阳惠授课

授课点评：钟阳惠老师语言基本功比较扎实，思维清晰，表达清楚，上课投入，教学自然流畅，仪态自然大方，亲和力强。本节课的教学特色可归结为：目标设定清晰，节奏掌控恰当；教学过程流畅，环环相扣；教学内容清晰，重点突出；循序渐进，课堂掌控能力强。钟老师善于突出重点和难点的讲解，在说课部分，讲到Text Analysis时，在PPT上第二部分Analyze how business models are changed by technology旁，加了一颗红五星，以示这部分为讲课重点（16’52’’）。在分析课文第7段难点How do companies do business?时，钟老师用图表、板书的形式，通过Airbnb的例子，形象生动地帮助学生理解平台和技术对business model产生的影响，并引出主题livestreaming（12’03’’-10’30’’）。钟老师善于引导学生，用What jobs will you choose in the future?作为lead-in，通过提问引导学生积极思考，激发学生对主题产生兴趣，并由此引出a new job—livestreaming salesperson，为过渡到课文重点讲解以及学生对课文的理解打下很好的基础（15’03’’-14’12’’）。钟老师重视课程思政，在讲到economy booming时，引用了去年新冠抗疫期间，全国人民源源不断地向武汉人民提供各种物资，体现众志成城抗击疫情的信心和决心（9’03’’-8’48’’）。在extra reading部分，钟老师用实例突出农民通过直播方式分享水果种植技术、销售农副产品、振兴乡村的国家战略（9’13’’-6’29’’）。整堂课自然流畅，各个环节衔接过渡合理，体现了高职英语教学课堂的特点和需要，做到了以学习和学生为中心的课堂教学，达到了设定的教学目标，是一堂比较成功的课。但本堂课仍然存在一些不足：1. 说课部分用时太多（4分40秒），显得不够精炼。2. 老师的语音语调、尤其是有些词的重音需要纠正，口语流利程度有进一步提高的余地。点评专家：陈明娟教授
