TRANSCRIPTUN: World Population Expected to Reach 10.3 Billion in 2080s(Q1) The United Nations is predicting the world’s population will reach 10.3 billion in the 2080s.The prediction appears in a new U.N. report. The report also suggests that the population will then slightly decrease to about 10.2 billion by the end of the century.John Wilmoth is head of the U.N. Population Division, which prepared the report. He told The Associated Press (AP) that there is a high probability that the world’s population will reach its height, or peak, within the current century. (Q2) He said the probability of that happening is about 80 percent. Wilmoth described that estimate as “a major change” compared to predictions from 10 years ago. At that time, the estimated probability was about 30 percent.U.N. Assistant Secretary-General for Economic Development Navid Hanif recently spoke about the report at a briefing. He said the expectation that the world’s population in 2100 will be lower than previously thought has “important policy implications for the sustainability of our planet.”briefing n. 情况介绍会implication n. 可能的影响（或作用、结果）The world’s population has continued to grow during the past 75 years, from an estimated 2.6 billion in 1950 to 8 billion in November 2022. Since then, it has increased about 2.5 percent to 8.2 billion.(Q3) The report notes the population has already peaked in 63 countries and territories. These include China, Germany, Japan and Russia. Within this grouping, the total population is estimated to drop 14 percent over the next 30 years.grouping n. 分组，分类In another 48 countries and territories, the population is predicted to peak between 2025 and 2054. Those countries include Brazil, Iran, Turkey and Vietnam.For the remaining 126 countries and territories, the population is expected to increase through 2054. The countries in this grouping include the United States, India, Indonesia, Nigeria and Pakistan. The report said these areas would see their populations peak in the second half of the century or later.For nine of these nations, the U.N. estimates the populations will double between 2024 and 2054.Wilmoth said these differences are notable. But he said, “it’s important to understand that all populations are following a similar path.”The U.N. report suggests the earlier population peak is predicted for several reasons. (Q4) These include lower fertility levels in some of the world’s largest countries, especially China. Estimates for China suggest the country’s population will drop sharply, from 1.4 billion in 2024 to 633 million in 2100.fertility level 生育水平The report noted that worldwide, women are having an average of one less child than they did in 1990. In addition, the average number of live births per woman is below 2.1 in over half of all countries and territories. This is a level experts have identified as being necessary for a country’s population to keep its size without migration.live birth 婴儿安全出生；活胎出生Wilmoth said the report shows that nearly 20 percent of the world has “ultra-low” fertility, with women having fewer than 1.5 live births. In China, the current number is about one birth per woman. Part III. KEYQ1.

What does the report suggest about the current trend in alcohol consumption guidelines?A. They are becoming more permissive.B. They are promoting no drinking for health benefits.C. They are advocating for reduced alcohol intake.D. They are being standardized across different countries.Q2. What caused Tessa Weber to participate in “Dry January”?A. It was a new social trend she wanted to try.B. She wanted to be a moderate drinker for health reasons.C. It was a requirement for a health program she joined.D. She found that alcohol was increasing her anxiety.Q3. What is the main point of discussing previous studies on alcohol?A. Previous studies have conclusively proven the health benefits of alcohol.B. There are significant flaws in the methodology of previous studies.C. The studies have been widely accepted by the scientific community.D. The studies provide evidence of no link between alcohol and health issues.Q4. What does Dr. Naimi indicate about the relationship between alcohol consumption and health benefits?A. The supposed benefits are questionable among people with higher income.B. The health benefits are more apparent among moderate drinkers.C. The health benefits of alcohol are significant and undisputed.D. The benefits are more noticeable in younger drinkers.Q5. What is the safe limit for alcohol consumption per day according to the U.S. government’s guidelines mentioned in the report?A. One drink or fewer for both men and women.B. Two drinks or fewer for men and one drink or fewer for women.C. Three drinks or fewer for both men and women.D. Four drinks or fewer for men and three drinks or fewer for women.Part II. TRANSCRIPTLess or No Alcohol Is Better for HealthAlcohol is often consumed at social gatherings from happy hours after work to birthday parties on the weekend. Drinking some alcohol is normal and believed to be good for heart health.However, new research may have put an end to that idea.Dr. Timothy Naimi directs the Canadian Institute for Substance Use Research at the University of Victoria. He said, “Drinking less is a great way to be healthier.”Guidelines, or advice, for drinking alcohol, differ greatly from country to country. But overall, the advice has been moving toward drinking less.(Q1) Britain, France, Denmark, Holland, and Australia recently reviewed new evidence and lowered the suggested amount of alcohol consumption.Ireland went further than most. It will require cancer warning descriptions on alcohol starting in 2026.Carina Ferreira-Borges is an adviser for alcohol at the World Health Organization office for Europe. She said scientists see “evidence linking alcohol to over 200 health conditions, including cancers, cardiovascular diseases and injuries.”cardiovascular adj. 心血管的Overall, people may have already been moving toward drinking less alcohol. Social calendar events called “Dry January” and “Sober October” are celebrated with non-alcoholic drinks. “Dry” means no alcohol. And a sober person is not affected by alcohol.sober adj. 持重的；冷静的(Q2) “People my age are way more accepting of it,” said Tessa Weber. The 28-year-old from Austin, Texas said she stopped drinking for Dry January after seeing how alcohol increased her anxiety. She liked the results ― better sleep, more energy ― and has stuck with it.The idea that alcohol can be heart-friendly came from imperfect studies comparing groups of people by how much they drink.(Q3) Usually, alcohol consumption was measured at one point in time. And none of them compare drinkers and non-drinkers. As a result, these studies could not prove cause and effect.(Q4) People who report drinking an average amount of alcohol usually have higher income, education, and better health care. “It turns out that when you adjust for those things, the benefits tend to disappear,” Dr. Naimi said.Most studies also did not include younger people. And almost half of the people who die from alcohol-related causes die before the age of 50.“If you’re studying people who survived into middle age, didn’t quit drinking because of a problem and didn’t become a heavy drinker, that’s a very select group,” Naimi said. “It creates an appearance of a benefit for moderate drinkers.”Other studies challenge the idea that alcohol has benefits.These studies compare people with a certain gene variant that makes it unpleasant to drink to people without this gene variant. People with this gene tend to drink very little or not at all. One of these studies found people with the gene variant have a lower risk of heart disease. This may supply more proof that alcohol does not protect people from heart problems.gene variant 基因变异So, how many alcoholic drinks can people safely have every day? That depends.Drinking alcohol raises the risk of several kinds of cancer, including colon, liver, breast, mouth, and throat. Alcohol breaks down in the body into a substance called acetaldehyde. This substance can damage your cells and stop them from repairing themselves. That creates the conditions for cancer to grow.acetaldehyde n. 乙醛，醋醛Thousands of U.S. deaths per year could be prevented if people follow the U.S. government’s guidelines. (Q5) They advise men to limit themselves to two drinks or fewer per day and women to one drink or fewer per day, Naimi said.One drink is the equivalent of about one can of beer, a glass of wine, or a very small glass of hard alcohol.hard alcohol 烈性酒Naimi served on an advisory committee. That committee wanted to lower the guideline for men to one drink per day. However, that advice was rejected when the federal guideline came out in 2020.“The simple message that’s best supported by the evidence is that, if you drink, less is better when it comes to health,” Naimi said.On its website, the National Institute of Health says some people should not consume alcohol at all. The agency says to avoid alcohol completely if you are:Taking medications that interact with alcoholHaving a medical condition that can be made worse by drinkingUnder the age of 21, the minimum legal drinking age in the U.S.Recovering from alcohol use disorder or unable to control the amount you drinkPregnant or might become pregnantmedication n. 药；药物Part III. KEYQ1. C.细节题。文章中指出：“Britain, France, Denmark, Holland, and Australia recently reviewed new evidence and lowered the suggested amount of alcohol consumption.”意为：“英国、法国、丹麦、荷兰和澳大利亚最近重新审视了新的证据，并降低了推荐的饮酒量。”这表明当前的趋势是倡导减少酒精摄入量。因此答案为C。Q2. D.细节题。文中提到：“... she(Tessa Weber) stopped drinking for Dry January after seeing how alcohol increased her anxiety.”意为：“……在看到酒精如何加重她的焦虑之后，她决定参加一月的戒酒活动。”这说明Tessa Weber参加Dry January是为了减少因酒精摄入而引起的焦虑。因此答案为D。Q3. B.主旨题。这一部分讨论了之前关于酒精研究的不足，如：“Usually, alcohol consumption was measured at one point in time. And none of them compare drinkers and non-drinkers. As a result, these studies could not prove cause and effect.”意为：“通常，酒精摄入量仅是在某一时间点进行测量，并且这些研究没有比较饮酒者和非饮酒者。因此，这些研究无法证明因果关系。”这表明先前的研究在方法论上存在重大缺陷。因此答案为B。Q4. A.细节题。Dr. Naimi指出：“People who report drinking an average amount of alcohol usually have higher income, education, and better health care. It turns out that when you adjust for those things, the benefits tend to disappear,”意为：“称自己饮酒量适中的人一般都收入较高，受过更好的教育，享有更优质的医疗卫生服务。结果表明，当你对这些因素进行调整时，饮酒的好处往往会消失。” 这说明所谓的酒精对健康的好处在更高收入群体中可能并不存在。因此答案为A。Q5. B.细节题。根据文本中：“They advise men to limit themselves to two drinks or fewer per day and women to one drink or fewer per day, Naimi said.”可知，美国政府的指导建议是，男性每天限制在两杯或更少的酒量，女性则是一杯或更少。因此答案为B。（本文图片来源于摄图网，版权归摄图网所有)

They believe it helps them focus better.B. They think it increases their independence.C. They feel it enhances communication with parents.D. They see no benefit to such policies.Part II. TRANSCRIPTUS States Push for Cell Phone Ban in High Schools(Q1) More American states are pushing for cell phone restrictions in high schools. The move comes as teachers say it is a major problem in the classroom. In July, Virginia became the latest in a growing number of U.S. states to restrict cell phone use in public schools. The state’s governor, Glenn Youngkin, issued an executive order to establish guidance and policies for local school systems to follow by January.executive n. 有执行权的；实施的；行政的(Q2) Youngkin’s order said, “Studies indicate that students who use their phones during class learn less and achieve lower grades.” It also cited an “alarming mental health crisis” among young people driven by the use of cell phones and social media.Last year, Florida became the first state to restrict the use of cell phones in school. A law that took effect in July requires all Florida public schools to ban student cell phone use during class time and block social media on the school’s wi-fi.The states of Indiana and Ohio passed their own laws this year. Several others, including Oklahoma, Vermont, and Kansas, have also recently introduced what is being called “phone-free schools” legislation. New York Governor Kathy Hochul said she will push for legislation to ban cell phone use in the coming legislative session in 2025.Cell phone distractionIn a recent public study, the Pew Research Center reported that 72 percent of U.S. high school teachers say cell phone distraction is a major problem in the classroom.Teachers report less of a problem with younger students. About 33 percent of middle school teachers and six percent of elementary school teachers see cell phone use as problematic.(Q3-1) The Associated Press (AP) reported that a California teacher complained of students watching Netflix during class. In Maryland, a teacher said students used gambling apps to place bets during the school day.(Q3-2) Many educators in the U.S. said students used social media, listened to music, and shopped online during the school day.James Granger is a science teacher at a Los Angeles-area high school. He told the AP, “Students used to have an understanding that you aren’t supposed to be on your phone in class. Those days are gone.” (Q4) Granger added, “The only solution that works is to physically remove the cellphone from the student.”Some students say such policies take away their independence and cut off their main method of communication with family and friends. Opposition also has come from parents who fear being cut off from their kids if there is a school emergency.Jaden Willoughey is a student at Delta High School in rural Utah. He shares the concern about being out of contact with his parents if there is an emergency. But he also sees the upside, or good result, of turning in his phone at school.upside n. 好的一面，积极面At Delta High School, students are required to leave their phones at the door when entering every class. (Q5) “It helps you focus on your work, and it’s easier to pay attention in class,” Jaden said.Kim Whitman is a leader of the Phone-Free Schools Movement, a group that advises schools. She told the AP she urges educators to make exceptions for students with special educational and medical needs.Back in VirginiaBack in Virginia, school systems have been increasingly banning or severely restricting students’ phone use.For example, Loudoun County Public Schools, in northern Virginia, passed a new policy last month that generally bans elementary school students from using phones during the school day.Middle school students are permitted to use their phones before or after school, but they are expected to store their phones in their lockers. In high school, students are expected to silence their phones and place them in storage during instructional time.In Richmond, Virginia, the school system started a cell phone ban last year in some of its high schools and middle schools.Jason Kamras is head of the Richmond school system. He said, “We saw more student engagement in class and fewer distractions throughout the day.” Additionally, he said, “Students reported spending more time talking with their peers.”Part III. KEYQ1. B. 主旨题。题目出处为“More American states are pushing for cell phone restrictions in high schools.

第12届教学大赛商务英语组特等奖潘紫萌授课

授课点评：潘紫萌老师在本次大赛中与来自全国各地的商务英语优秀教师展开激烈角逐，在教学理念、教学方法、课堂设计、英语素质、商务知识、教姿教态、师生互动等方面的表现都较突出，最后以总分第一荣获特等奖。潘老师以准确的英语发音先声夺人，丰富的表达方式、适中的语调语速和端庄的教姿教态也令人印象深刻。在课程设计环节，为实现其教学目标，她选择business ethics作为主题，介绍了教学目标、学生特征、以学生为中心和以产出为导向的教学理念，以及线上线下结合、传统和高科技媒体结合等丰富多彩的教学方式。这份介绍全面立体但简明扼要，为后面的演示（demo）课提供了一个很好的支撑。由于大赛的授课时间有限，潘老师突出重点，在演示课上只展示教学方案的第三步，即participatory learning 1 和 post assessment 1。她采用BOPPPS（bridge in, objectives, pre-assessment, participatory learning, post assessment, summary）模型，通过德国大众汽车减排作假、中国支付宝公益植树项目等案例，教学目标涵盖商务英语知识、技能、以及相关的伦理和价值观等。在短短的十几分钟里要达到这么多项教学目标绝非易事。潘老师通过一系列的短视频、多种教学方法（如听力填空、案例讨论、汉译英、样本对话补正等）以及活泼的师生互动，较好地实现了教学目标，显示出选手突出的课堂组织能力。商务英语教学起源于英美等国，因此基本使用本国素材、讲本国故事。传入中国后，主要使用外国素材、讲外国故事。令人欣喜的是，潘老师注意突出中国特色，多次引用中国案例，讲授中国故事，传播中国价值观。加上她出色的英语基本功和良好的师生互动，使得教学过程十分流畅，也没有不同文化同场展示的违和感。总而言之，潘紫萌老师在授课环节的各方面表现都很优秀。不足之处当然也有。首先， 8’13’’开始的讨论过于仓促，只有18秒， 8’31’’就结束了。由于讨论不充分，在随后的问答环节中，更多的回答似乎来自老师而不是学生。第二个是要增加教学过程的自然自发 (spontaneity)。不知是因为课前多次排练还是老师特意要求，学生的产出只有一次对话（17’40’’）相对自然，其他的多次回答虽准确无误，但都像中国小学生朗读课文或回答问题，语音、语调、语速都过于整齐合一，这不利于培养学生的英语实际表达能力。点评专家：陈准民

第12届教学大赛英语专业组特等奖胡笑然授课

授课点评：胡笑然老师以充分的课前准备、认真的育人态度、专业的学科素养、科学的教学方法，在限定的20分钟时间内出色地完成了所指定的授课任务，为全国高校英语专业师生呈现了一堂值得学习和反思的短课。在整个授课过程中，胡老师精神饱满，着装端庄，形象甜美，教态自然，认真专注，热情友好，充满活力，展现了良好的个人魅力，体现了青年教师的时代风貌。胡老师具有扎实的英语基本功、娴熟的课堂掌控能力和应变能力、流畅的语言表达能力；综述简洁明了，呈现单元设计、教学目标、相关活动和拟用时间；授课有明确的目标，以学生为中心，围绕单元主题和语篇意义，突出重点，聚焦难点，讲解和引导规范适切。胡老师有自己的教学理念，能运用一定的教学理论，遵循“题材—功能—活动”的教学原则，重视语言感知和信息获取，围绕单元主题展开教学，各教学步骤衔接自然。能注重培养学生的观察力、想象力和分析能力，积极帮助学生通过语篇学习，了解重要概念以及语篇作者的观念和意图，努力激发学生对语篇主题的学习兴趣，师生之间有积极的互动和良好的交流。能充分利用和发挥电子课件的辅助教学功能， PPT和嵌入视频有良好的功能性和实用性，形式与内容相吻合，体现了课件形式与课文内容、教学手段与教学目的有机关联和主从关系，发挥了现代化教学资源及手段的教学辅助作用，增强了学生对单元主题和语言表述的理解。从整体上看，胡老师的授课比较成功。授课目的明确，授课重点突出，内容讲解清晰，活动安排合理，起承转合自然，师生互动自然，课件使用得当，教学效果较好。当然，她所展示的这堂英语短课仍存在以下待改进之处：授课停留在主题词语的概念解读层面，对主题意义的挖掘不够深入；教师个人主导成分太强，讲解和提问过多，学生活动不足，活动形式比较单一；时间把握不够合理，没有时间结尾，匆忙收课，无法安排课后作业和课外活动；授课时间用于教学，缺乏对教学成效的必要评价活动，难以确定单元教学目标的达成。建议胡老师在今后的教学研究和实践中，更加重视单元设计的完整性和课堂教学的有效性，关注输入与输出、课内与课外、语篇意义与语言形式的协调，注重教学手段、过程、效果的统一，促进学生在语言知识、语用技能、心智、情感、态度等方面的综合发展和提高。点评专家：梅德明
