To explain the health benefits of evening showers.B. To discuss the impact of showering on sleep quality.C. To highlight the importance of showering daily.D. To compare the advantages of morning and evening showers.Part II. TRANSCRIPTMorning shower or evening shower: Which is best? Do you need an energizing blast of water in the morning to wake you up for the day? Or do you prefer a relaxing, warm shower in the evening to help you wind down as part of your nighttime routine? Maybe you just shower whenever you feel like it. For something so many of us do, this topic is bound to divide opinion and stir up passion from both sides. But is one really better than the other?After a long day in the outside world, picking up pollutants and allergens on your skin and in your hair such as dust and pollen, a reasonable instinct would be to wash it all off before getting into bed. That’s what the evening shower enthusiasts would say. But, says microbiologist Primrose Freestone, no matter the air temperature, you will continue to sweat during the night. Bacteria on your skin then eat the nutrients in your sweat which is what causes BO. Showering at night also doesn’t stop you shedding dead skin cells. All this means you may not wake up feeling as fresh as you had hoped. [Q1] Showering in the morning, on the other hand, can help to remove dead skin cells, sweat or any bacteria you’ve picked up from your bed sheets. “As a microbiologist, I am a day shower advocate,” she says.allergens n. 过敏原pollen n. 花粉nutrient n. 营养物质microbiologist n. 微生物学家BO (body odor) 汗臭，体臭But it’s not all about cleanliness. Nancy Rothstein, who calls herself The Sleep Ambassador, is concerned with sleep quality. (Q2) In her view, showering in the evening is an essential part of the ‘preparing for bed’ routine. “Call it an opportunity to shower yourself with mindfulness,” she says. And research backs this up. (Q3) A systematic review of research published in Sleep Medicine Reviews in 2019 found nightly warm showering or bathing one to two hours before bedtime can improve sleep.(Q4) What it all boils down to is when you would like to feel freshest. If you’re someone who can’t fully relax in bed until you’ve showered, you’re likely an evening shower person. Whereas, if you can’t stand the idea of putting on fresh, clean clothes in the morning when you haven’t showered, then a morning rinse is probably more your style. Whenever you choose to shower, Primrose Freestone says it’s important to clean your bed sheets regularly to remove all the sweat, bacteria and dead skin cells that build up and can negatively affect the effectiveness of your showers.rinse n. 冲洗Part III. KEYQ1.【答案】A【解析】细节题。题目出处：Showering in the morning, on the other hand, can help to remove dead skin cells, sweat or any bacteria you’ve picked up from your bed sheets. 意为：早上洗澡可以帮助去除床单上的死皮细胞、汗液或任何细菌。正确答案为A。Q2.【答案】B【解析】细节题。题目出处：In her view, showering in the evening is an essential part of the ‘preparing for bed’ routine. 意为：在她看来，晚上洗澡是“准备就寝”过程中必不可少的一环。正确答案为B。Q3.【答案】C【解析】细节题。题目出处：A systematic review of research published in Sleep Medicine Reviews in 2019 found nightly warm showering or bathing one to two hours before bedtime can improve sleep. 意为：2019年发表在《睡眠医学评论》上的一项系统性研究发现，每晚在睡前一到两个小时进行温水淋浴或沐浴可以改善睡眠。正确答案为C。Q4.【答案】A【解析】推理题。题目出处：What it all boils down to is when you would like to feel freshest. 意为：归根结底，这取决于你想在什么时候感觉最清爽。由此可以推断，选择早上或晚上洗澡取决于个人偏好和生活方式，因此正确答案为A。Q5.【答案】D【解析】主旨题。整篇文章主要讨论了早上洗澡和晚上洗澡的优缺点，并比较了它们的不同效果。因此正确答案为D。 （本文图片均来源于网络，仅供学习交流使用，侵删）

To explain the benefits and drawbacks of napping. Part II. TRANSCRIPTNaps might not be as good for you as you think Surely, they're called power naps for a reason? Aren't naps the key to feeling alert, improving your memory and just generally having a great life? Well, they can be, but things aren't quite that simple.(Q1) It is true that a short nap can help people be more alert, improve their memory and concentration, and reduce risks around tasks with heavy machinery. Our circadian rhythms are responsible for the notorious lull that many of us feel in the early afternoon. This is the best time for a nap. Some companies have installed sleep pods for their employees, hoping to benefit from increased productivity and cognitive performance. But it is also true that naps can cause problems.circadian adj. 生理节奏的，昼夜节律的 notorious adj. 声名狼藉的，众所周知的（常指不好的事情） lull n. 间歇，平静期 pod n. 小舱，隔间 cognitive adj. 认知的 Let's start by thinking about the length. (Q2) A true power nap should be less than half an hour. Any longer, and it becomes hard to rouse yourself from. Any benefits in terms of alertness are likely to disappear with the grogginess that results from a longer period of slumber.grogginess n. 昏昏沉沉，虚弱无力slumber n. 睡眠，微睡 This isn't the only issue. Naps have been linked to conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure and cardiac problems. However, it's not clear whether these are direct results, or stem from the impact of napping on our sleep habits. (Q3) If you take a nap after about two or three in the afternoon, it's likely to have a negative effect on your ability to get to sleep at night. Breaking your sleep cycle can lead to bad sleeping habits, which themselves become ingrained.cardiac adj. 心脏的 ingrain v. 使根深蒂固 Of course, in the same way that naps can lead to bad sleep, it's also true that bad sleep can lead to wanting to take more naps. (Q4) So, if you find yourself frequently needing to sleep during the day, experts suggest that you consider why that's the case. Are there any potential health issues that could be causing insomnia? Or are work pressure stopping you from getting enough sleep?insomnia n. 失眠 Part III. KEYQ1.【答案】B【解析】细节题。题目出处：It is true that a short nap can help people be more alert, improve their memory and concentration, and reduce risks around tasks with heavy machinery. 意为：“的确，小睡片刻能帮助人们更加清醒，提升记忆力和专注力，还能降低操作重型机械等作业时的风险。” 因此正确答案为B。 Q2.【答案】A【解析】细节题。题目出处：A true power nap should be less than half an hour. 意为：“真正的有效小憩时间应控制在半小时以内。。” 文章明确指出，有效小睡的时间应该少于半小时，超过这个时间可能会导致昏昏沉沉，并抵消小睡的益处，因此正确答案为A。 Q3.【答案】C【解析】细节题。题目出处：If you take a nap after about two or three in the afternoon, it's likely to have a negative effect on your ability to get to sleep at night. Breaking your sleep cycle can lead to bad sleeping habits, which themselves become ingrained. 意为：“如果你在下午两三点之后小睡，很可能会对夜间入睡能力产生负面影响。打乱睡眠周期会导致不良的睡眠习惯，而这些习惯本身又会变得根深蒂固。”因此正确答案为C。 Q4.【答案】B【解析】推理题。题目出处：So, if you find yourself frequently needing to sleep during the day, experts suggest that you consider why that's the case. Are there any potential health issues that could be causing insomnia? Or are work pressures stopping you from getting enough sleep? 意为：“因此，如果你发现自己经常需要在白天睡觉，专家建议你思考原因。是否存在可能导致失眠的潜在健康问题？或者工作压力是否阻碍你获得足够的睡眠？从中可以推断，频繁白天小睡可能表明存在潜在健康问题或压力，因此正确答案为B。 Q5.【答案】D【解析】主旨题。文章主要讨论了小睡的好处和可能引发的问题，包括提高注意力和记忆力的益处，以及可能导致睡眠周期紊乱和健康问题。因此正确答案为D。 （本文图片来源于摄图网，版权归摄图网所有)

TRANSCRIPTPractice Your ListeningHello! This week on Ask a Teacher, we answer a question from Zekeriya in Turkiye about listening to English.QuestionDear teacher,When I practice listening, I focus a lot and do a lot of repetitions. (Q1) After a while, I realized that I was actually memorizing the audio recording instead of practicing listening. How do you think I should do an ideal listening exercise?audio adj. 音频的Thank you,ZekeriyaAnswerI’m happy to answer this question, Zekeriya.(Q2) There is not one ideal listening exercise. Instead, there are several good ways to improve your listening.The repetitions you are doing can be necessary and helpful for you to understand what you hear. And repetitions likely help you remember new words and how to pronounce them. But let’s look at more ways you can practice listening. Listening methods(Q3) First, try to find listening material that is just a bit above your ability. This will help you learn new words without making it too difficult for you.It is best to listen to English material that has words written either in captions or in the body text, such as a VOA Learning English article. This will help check your listening.caption n. 字幕You can test yourself by first listening to parts of the audio without reading the words. Note the main ideas and the things you clearly understood. Then, listen to it again and try to understand more details. This is when you can do shorter repetitions. Next, you can check how much you understood by reading the words as you listen to the audio again.TranscribingOne of the best ways to practice listening is by writing every word you hear. This is called transcribing. Even with audio examples as short as one minute, you can learn a lot of English using this method. (Q4) For example, if you are transcribing an interview, you might notice differences between spoken English and written English.transcribe v. 转录，抄写By transcribing, you can notice and learn new expressions, grammar rules and spelling. This method also helps make new words stay in your memory when you read them. That is because you are discovering the answer to a problem you have already tried to solve through listening.Other tips(Q5) Try listening to English spoken at different speeds. Over time, you can follow spoken English at a faster speed. Many videos online let you increase or decrease the speed of playback.Practice listening to English spoken in different foreign accents. This is a useful skill because English is spoken in so many places around the world.accent n. 口音Center your listening on specific sounds or grammatical points. For example, preposition use in English can be difficult. Try listening for prepositions and the words they connect with. This can help you use them correctly in your speaking and writing.Remember that, like any skill, you can improve listening by practicing often and having detailed plans for the methods you will use.For our readers and listeners, what are your questions about American English? We’d like to hear from you. Send us an email at learningenglish@voanews.com. And please include where you are from in your email, too.And that’s Ask a Teacher.Part III. KEYQ1.

TRANSCRIPTSnakebites: Life saving factsTranscriptVGS: Growing up in India, (Q4-1) we even saw it in movies that if you’re bitten by a snake, you should suck the venom out and spit it out. Does this work?venom n. 毒液DW: If you’re sucking the venom out, you can end up with two people being bitten by the snake and not just one.VGS: We are talking about snakebites today. Why should you be concerned? Because one person dies every four minutes across the world because of snakebites. Here to talk about it today is Dr David Williams. Welcome David, talk to us about the scenarios where people are being bitten by snakes.DW: Okay, well, look, (Q1) the average person who gets bitten by a snake is an ordinary individual. They could be a farmer, a cow herder, a school child, mum, dad, somebody coming from a rural community usually, in Asia, Africa, Latin America or somewhere like New Guinea. And these are people who are just going about their day, and they make a simple mistake that leads to them being bitten.VGS: David, how big is this problem and why is WHO concerned about it? DW: Well, (Q2) snakebites are a really important public health issue. (Q3) There’s about 2.7 million people who are bitten by snakes every year. And between 81,000 and 138,000 of them lose their lives.VGS: Can snakebites be prevented? What can we do to make sure we’re safe from snakes?DW: Well, you know, the old adage is that prevention is better than the cure. Avoiding situations where snakebites can happen doesn’t cost you anything, and really just involves doing things that are common sense that can lower your risk of contact with a snake in the first place. And it’s really important that if you go outside at night, have some sort of light, whether it’s a torch, even inside the home, don’t stumble around in the dark and tread on a snake that you don’t see. Turn a light on. If you sleep on a bed that’s off the ground covered with a well tucked in mosquito net. It doesn’t just prevent malaria and other mosquito borne diseases. (Q5) It’s been proven in countries like Nepal to reduce the risk of snakebite while sleeping enormously. And probably the most important thing. Children are really vulnerable to snakebites. So, you have to talk to them, educate them, (Q6) make sure they know to leave snakes alone, not try to catch and kill them, and teach them that if they see a snake, they should inform an adult straightaway.adage n. 格言，谚语malaria n. 疟疾，瘴气Nepal n. 尼泊尔（南亚国家名）straightaway adv. 立刻，直接地VGS: So, David growing up in India we heard and even saw it in movies that when you are bitten by a snake you should tie that part and cut that wound even suck the venom out and spit it out. It sounds dangerous. What does science say about this? What should people do when bitten by a snake?DW: Okay, so the thing about movies is that they’re fiction. And the hero and the heroine are never allowed to die. Unfortunately, (Q4-2) those techniques in real life, it’s not just that they don’t work. It’s also that they can be very dangerous. A tourniquet applied too tight can cost you your leg, can end up having to be amputated. (Q7) If you’re sucking the venom out, and you have poor dental hygiene, you can end up with two people being bitten by the snake and not just one. The most important thing is, like any accident. Don’t panic. Don’t waste time getting to the nearest health center or hospital as quickly as you can. The best chance you’ve got of survival, essentially, is if you get proper medical treatment within the first 4 to 6 hours. So harmful first aids and traditional remedies should be avoided. And the basic principle of first aid is to first do no harm so don’t tie a rope or wire around the limb, don’t cut the wound. And certainly don’t do things like applying electric shocks. Another thing that’s important is that when people get bitten by a snake, sometimes they will become sick. And so if you give them food or drink, they can actually choke on that. (Q8) So you really shouldn’t give them anything by mouth. If they have rings, bangles, watches, other tight things on their bodies around the area where they were bitten, you should remove those as well, because sometimes snakebite causes a lot of local swelling, and those sorts of objects can really cut off the circulation. And then the most important thing is never lay a person on their back, especially in a vehicle on their way to health care. (Q9) Put them on their left side. And what we call the recovery position, with their head sort of tilted to the side and downwards. And that can actually prevent them from losing their ability to breathe and also prevents them from literally choking to death on their own vomit.tourniquet n. 止血带amputate v. 截肢bangle n. 手镯，腕带vomit n. 呕吐物VGS: David, talk to us about the treatment for snakebites. Are antivenoms available readily around the world?DW: Okay, well unfortunately, many countries face shortages when it comes to having enough supplies of safe, good quality and effective antivenom drugs. (Q10) So to this end, WHO is helping countries by identifying the best products that they can use. Providing technical guidance to manufacturers to help them improve and develop and design other products. And we’re also looking at new ways to supply antivenoms to even the remotest parts of the world so that more people can easily access treatment.effective adj. 有效的，起作用的VGS: Thank you David. That was Science in 5 today. Until next time then stay safe, stay healthy, and stick with science.Part III. KEYQ1.

TRANSCRIPTHow to Keep from Feeling Down in the WinterFrom VOA Learning English, this is the Health & Lifestyle report.(Q1) As fall and winter come to some parts of the world, daylight hours grow shorter. This lack of light can cause seasonal depression.“It is a feeling of panic, fear, anxiety and dread all in one,” said Germaine Pataki. The 63-year-old woman living in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada, is among the millions of people estimated to have seasonal affective disorder, or SAD.dread n. 恐惧，畏惧 disorder n. 混乱，失调To deal with her condition, Pataki uses yoga, walking, and an antidepressant medication. She is also part of a Facebook group for people with SAD and helps others deal with the condition. Pataki said, “This gives me purpose.”yoga n. 瑜伽medication n. 药物，药物治疗People with SAD usually have depression that begins in the fall and eases in the spring or summer. Changing the clocks back to standard time, which happens in autumn in the United States, can also cause SAD to start.Medical experts say there is a milder form, called subsyndromal SAD. There is also summer seasonal depression but less is known about that.In 1984, a team led by Dr. Norman Rosenthal, then a researcher at the National Institutes of Health, first described SAD. He invented the term.What causes seasonal affective disorder?Scientists are still learning the causes of seasonal affective disorder. (Q2) They have found that specialized cells in our eyes turn the blue wavelength of the light into neural, or brain signals. These signals affect mood and wakefulness, or alertness.neural adj. 神经的Sunlight has a lot of blue light. So, when the cells sense this blue light, the alertness centers of our brains turn on. We feel more alert and possibly even happier.Kathryn Roecklein is a researcher at the University of Pittsburgh. She tested people with and without SAD to see how their eyes reacted to blue light. As a group, people with SAD were less sensitive to blue light than others, especially during winter months. That suggests a cause for wintertime depression.“In the winter, when the light levels drop, that, combined with a lower sensitivity, might be too low for healthy functioning, leading to depression,” Roecklein said.Miriam Cherry is 50 years old and lives in New York state. She spent the summer planning how she would deal with her winter depression. “It’s like clockwork,” Cherry said. “The sunlight is low. The day ends at 4:45, and suddenly my mood is horrible.”clockwork n. 钟表机械Light therapy can help(Q3) Many people with SAD respond to light therapy, said Dr. Paul Desan of Yale University’s Winter Depression Research Clinic. The therapy devices give off light about 20 times brighter than regular indoor light.“The first thing is to try light,” Desan said. “When we get patients on exposure to bright light for a half an hour or so every morning, the majority of patients get dramatically better. We don’t even need medications.”There is research that supports the idea that using a light that has a brightness of about 10,000 lux can be helpful. Lux is a measurement of brightness.The research suggests that a person use it for 30 minutes every morning. Desan said this can help not only people with SAD but also those with less-severe, low moods in winter.What else might work?Experts suggest other forms of treatment. Doctors often suggest antidepressant medications as a first-line treatment for SAD. They also suggest going to bed and waking up at about the same time each day. Also, exercise such as walking outside, even on cloudy days, can help.Kelly Rohan is a researcher at the University of Vermont. Rohan said another treatment is talk therapy. Also called cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, Rohan said it has been shown in studies to have more long-lasting effects. CBT involves working with a therapist to identify and change unhelpful thoughts.cognitive adj. 认知的“A very common thought that people have is ‘I hate winter,’” Rohan said. She suggests that people instead say, “I prefer summer to winter.”Working with a therapist can help people take small steps toward having fun again, Rohan said. Try planning undemanding but enjoyable activities to break out of a bad mood. Rohan said simply meeting a friend for coffee can help.People with SAD have half the year to create helpful methods. Some have found things that work for them — although they might not be the subject of scientific research.For example, in Folsom, California, Elizabeth Wescott says she believes a kind of water therapy helps her. The 69-year-old uses water therapy used in sports medicine. When she showers, she changes between hot and cold water. She also uses a light box and takes an antidepressant. “I’m always looking for new tools,” Wescott said.In New York, Miriam Cherry grows the earliest blooming flowers. They bloom as early as February.(Q4) “That’s going to be a sign to me that this isn’t going to last forever,” Cherry said. “It will get better, and spring is on the way.”And that’s the Health & Lifestyle report.Part III. KEYQ1. C. 【解析】细节题。根据：“As fall and winter come to some parts of the world, daylight hours grow shorter. This lack of light can cause seasonal depression.” 可知随着秋冬季节的到来，白天的时间变得越来越短，这种日光时间不足可能会引发季节性抑郁症。因此答案是C。Q2. B. 【解析】细节题。根据：“They have found that specialized cells in our eyes turn the blue wavelength of the light into neural, or brain signals. These signals affect mood and wakefulness, or alertness.” 可知眼中的特殊细胞将蓝光波长转化为神经或大脑信号，进而影响情绪和清醒度。因此答案是B。Q3. A.【解析】细节题。根据：“Many people with SAD respond to light therapy.” 文章中提及光疗对许多患有SAD的人有效，是建议的一个疗法。因此答案是A。Q4. D. 【解析】推理题。根据：“‘That’s going to be a sign to me that this isn't going to last forever,’ Cherry said. ‘It will get better, and spring is on the way.’” 可知Cherry将花作为一种信号，提醒自己这不会永远持续下去。情况会好转，冬天即将结束，春天即将来临。因此答案是D。Q5. B.【解析】主旨题。报告讨论了针对季节性情感障碍的各种治疗方法，包括光疗、药物治疗和认知行为疗法等。因此答案是B。（本文图片均来源于网络，仅供学习交流使用，侵删）

第12届教学大赛英语专业组特等奖胡笑然说课

说课点评：胡笑然老师在说课环节清晰地表达了对所给文章的文本理解和基于语篇主题意义探究而开展教学的基本认识。在拿到文章后的短暂时间内，该选手对语篇进行了审读，并在此基础上快速构思了90分钟的教学设计，形成了基本的教学步骤。根据教学设计，胡老师计划选择与语篇主题相关的短视频为导入，激发学生的学习兴趣；然后以解读语篇为抓手，对语篇的主题、结构、语言、文体等方面进行分析。胡老师按照学生“学后能做”为目的，确定本课的教学目标并介绍了具体的教学步骤。她在教学设计中体现了自己的教学理念和对课文的独到见解，将课文分为三个部分，对每一部分的内容和结构进行了必要的讲解。通过解析语篇的主题，确定了语篇的中心思想，之后列举了语篇的核心概念、关键名词以及相关修饰词及其功能。胡老师将教学目标设定为学生“能做”，即能够理解语篇的主题意义，能够发现篇章结构的特征，能够与话题相同但来源不同的同类文章进行对比从而激发学生的批判性思维，能够从文章的体裁、结构、修辞等方面学习、理解和掌握语篇的关键词语，以及作者对关键概念的词语修饰和语言表达。教学设计安排了学生的小组讨论，要求学生形成有具体步骤的思维导图和概念关联，并在课堂上融入思政元素，并进行必要的陈述。最后一个环节为开放性的讨论，引导学生对不同的观点进行评论。胡老师基于丰富的教学经验和对学情的分析判断，对教学目的、教学重点、教学环节以及设计缘由作了清晰的陈述，显示了其对教学语篇的基本认识和语篇教学娴熟的驾驭能力。说课目的明确，条理清晰，设计突出主题，有一定的感染力，突出学生主体，采用活动途径，倡导体验参与，重视培养学生批判性思维和论说能力，所设计的教学环节有较好的可操作性。从整体上看，胡笑然老师有较高的人文素养和自己的教学风格，语言流畅，表述准确，知识面较广，该说课达到了较高的水准。不过胡笑然老师的时间把控不佳，说课缺乏完整性，强调篇章结构和概念理解，但忽略了教学评的一致性和一体化设计。建议她在今后的教学设计中更加重视学生在语言知识、语言技能、文化内涵、思维心智、情感态度等方面的综合发展和有效评价，积极采用探究式、任务型、交互性的教学方法，加强课外作业的安排和指导，促进学生在语言能力、人文素养、科学思维等方面的同步发展。点评专家：梅德明

第12届教学大赛商务英语组特等奖潘紫萌说课

说课点评：在30分钟的准备时间里，读完、理解一篇800多词的商务英语文章，记住文章的结构和要点，设计出一套有理论指导、教学理念清晰、目标合理、结构完整、方法得当，最好再带点创新的教学方案，然后在10分钟的时间里，用英语条理清晰地把它展示出来，这对任何商务英语教师来讲都是一项重大的挑战。潘紫萌老师首先分析了课文，根据内容将其解构成三大部分。选手将第二部分（第3-8段）归纳成 promotion, price and place 和将第三部分（第9段）归纳成对计划进入中国市场的外国企业的忠告，这都是正确的。但是，她把第一部分（第1-2段）归纳成product，进而把前两部分归纳成营销学中著名的4P战略，这种做法有待商榷。因为课文的第1段主要讲两个问题：1）营销战略如何在中国成功，2）这些战略如何根据中国人的喜好以及对产品或服务的认知进行调整，而不是具体的产品。也许是准备的时间非常紧迫，选手对课文的理解和归纳出现了偏差。然后，潘老师分析了学生的特点。在教学模式上，她采取以学生为中心、以产出为导向的教学模式。其教学目标包括商务英语知识、商务技能和伦理价值。在具体的教学方法上，她例举了基于任务的教学、基于讨论的教学、案例教学、学生参与的测评等，并强调要综合利用线上线下教学资源。在学习测评上，她采用师生共同参与的方式，以增强教学效果。至于具体的教学步骤，她采用BOPPPS模式，再加课后作业。以上教学方案应该说中规中矩，显示出潘老师对商务英语教学的理论、模式、方法和测评等各要素有比较全面的了解。潘老师最亮眼的表现是在10分钟的时间里，用流利的英语将其教学方案展现出来，而且条理清晰，相关的教学理论、教学方法、商务知识、商务案例均了然于胸，信手拈来，同时口到手到，同步将所讲内容写到白板上，手起笔落，一气呵成。在提问阶段，潘老师的表现依旧出色，理解到位，回答中肯，表现出较高的英语基本功和商务、人文素养。不过有的回答可以再精炼一些。比如在回答第一个问题时，把EGP，EOP，EAP，ESP 的定义都讲了一遍，有点啰嗦。总而言之，潘紫萌在说课中表现突出，是一位素质比较全面、经验比较丰富的优秀商务英语教师。点评专家：陈准民
