教学素材 | 丑萌现象——我们为何如此迷恋“丑”宠物？

丑萌现象——我们为何如此迷恋“丑”宠物？The ugly-cute phenomenon — what is our obsession with ugly pets?词汇：考研 | 句法：高考 | 文本：考研刘立军供稿In a world that favors beauty, from aesthetically pleasing interior design to an attractive physical appearance, why are we suddenly fawning over goofy-looking pets, particularly dogs, with exaggerated features? There’s been a pet paradigm shift — perfection is out, and droopy eyes are in. What’s going on?在一个崇尚美的世界里，从令人赏心悦目的室内设计到迷人的外貌，为什么我们突然开始迷恋那些长相滑稽的宠物，尤其是五官夸张的狗狗？对宠物的审美已经发生了转变——完美不再流行，“耷拉眼”反而成了新宠。这到底是怎么回事？First, we must understand our attraction to cuteness. Human babies are pretty helpless, so there had to be an evolutionary adaptation to ensure we looked after them. According to Konrad Lorenz’s “baby schema” theory, infantile features like big eyes, big heads and soft bodies trigger the instinct to protect our offspring. When animals have similar traits, we think they’re “in need of our companionship or care,” causing “the rush of warm emotion that is the cuteness response,” says Joshua Dale, co-editor of The Aesthetics and Affects of Cuteness.首先，我们需要理解“可爱”对我们的吸引力。婴儿非常无助，因此进化过程中必然有一种适应机制，来确保我们会照顾他们。根据康拉德·劳伦兹的“婴儿图式”理论，大眼睛、大脑袋和柔软的身体这些幼态特征会触发我们保护后代的本能。《可爱的美学与影响》一书的联合主编约书亚·戴尔表示，当动物拥有类似的特征时，我们会觉得它们“需要我们的陪伴或照顾”，从而引发“一种温暖的情感反应，这就是所谓的可爱效应”。During the Victorian era, dog shows were all the rage, and with them came selective breeding for cuteness rather than health or functionality. This led to a rise in flat-faced breeds with squashed snouts and bulging eyes like bulldogs and pugs — a reminder that beauty is in the eye of the beholder. These breeds remain very popular today. 在维多利亚时代，狗展风靡一时，随之而来的是为了“可爱”而非出于健康或功能改善考虑进行的选择性繁殖。这导致了像斗牛犬和哈巴狗这样拥有扁脸、塌鼻且凸眼的品种兴起——这提醒我们，“情人眼里出西施”。这些品种的狗至今仍然非常受欢迎。The French Bulldog became the most popular dog in the US in 2022, according to the American Kennel Club. Rowena Parker, lecturer at the Royal Veterinary College in the UK, believes this is partly driven by social media influencers. “The ugly-cute thing is very fashionable,” she says. Despite the growing love for these dogs, there are ethical concerns. Many flat-faced breeds suffer from breathing difficulties and skin infections.美国养犬俱乐部（AKC）数据显示，法国斗牛犬在2022年成为美国最受欢迎的犬种。英国皇家兽医学院讲师罗文娜·帕克认为，这一趋势部分是由网红推动的。“丑萌真的很流行，”她说道。然而，尽管人们对这些狗狗的喜爱日益增加，但其中也存在一些伦理问题。许多扁脸犬种容易出现呼吸困难和皮肤感染等健康问题。A testament to the pet paradigm shift is the World‘s Ugliest Dog Contest, held in California since the 1970s. In a line-up of pooches with lopsided ears, snaggled teeth and patchy fur, who will be the loveable underdog that tugs on our heartstrings this year? 宠物审美转变的一个有力证明是自20世纪70年代以来在加利福尼亚举办的“世界最丑狗狗大赛”。在一群耳朵歪斜、牙齿参差、毛发斑驳的狗狗中，今年谁会成为那个触动我们心弦的丑萌小狗呢？【词汇】1. fawn v. 奉承，讨好2. goofy-looking adj. 看起来傻乎乎的3. droopy adj. 下垂的，耷拉的4. schema n. 略图，概要5. infantile adj. 婴儿的，幼稚的6. snout n. （动物的）口鼻部7. bulldog n. 牛头犬8. pug n. 哈巴狗9. beholder n. 观看者，旁观者10. kennel n. 狗窝，犬舍11. testament n. 证明，证据12. pooch n. 狗13. lopsided adj. 不平衡的，倾斜的14. patchy adj. 分布不均的15. underdog n. 弱者，处于劣势的一方（本文图片来源于摄图网，版权归摄图网所有)

时文选读 | 全球大学对经济增长的贡献减弱

时文选读| 全球大学对经济增长的贡献减弱Universities are failing to boost economic growth四级 适中| 414词 刘立军供稿Part I. PassageIn the past few decades, universities around the world have grown quickly. The number of researchers working in universities has increased a lot. Since 1980, the number of academic papers published every year has become five times higher. Governments have spent a lot of money on universities because they believe that universities help the economy by creating new ideas and inventions for businesses and society.However, even with this growth, productivity has slowed down. In the 1950s and 1960s, worker productivity in rich countries grew by about 4% every year. But in the 10 years before the COVID-19 pandemic, it grew by only 1%. Even though we now have powerful technologies like artificial intelligence (AI), productivity is still not growing much.A new study by some economists suggests that there may be a link between the rise of universities and the slow growth of productivity. In the past, most big scientific discoveries were made by businesses, not universities. In the middle of the 20th century, companies like AT&T and General Electric spent a lot of money on research. These companies sometimes published more scientific papers than top universities. One reason for this was that strict competition laws encouraged companies to develop their own innovations.But in the 1970s and 1980s, competition rules became weaker. As a result, companies stopped investing as much in research and started depending on universities to do the work instead. The study says that moving from company-led research to university-led research has not helped productivity very much. Even though universities produce important studies, these studies are often hard for companies to use. One reason is that many companies no longer have their own research labs, which used to help different experts work together. Also, university researchers often focus more on getting academic success than on solving real-world problems.When universities do try to create useful inventions, the results are not always good. For example, university patents can sometimes stop companies from doing their own research. The study found that company patenting has gone down by about 1.5% each year because of competition from university start-ups. This means that public funding for university research might be hurting private research by companies.In the future, better teamwork between universities and businesses could help increase productivity. Stronger competition laws might also push companies to invest more in their own research again. But if university research does not clearly help the economy, governments may need to rethink how much money they spend on it.【Vocabulary】1. productivity n. 生产率；工作效率2. publish v. 发表；出版3. invention n. 发明；创造物4. patent n. 专利；专利权5. funding n. 资金；拨款Part II. QuestionsQ1. According to the passage, what was a reason for the decline in corporate research efforts in the 1970s?A. Universities had taken over the role of corporate research. B. Anti-monopoly laws had been strictly enforced. C. Competition policies had been relaxed. D. Corporate labs have been closed.Q2. What is a challenge universities face when engaging in real-world innovation according to the passage?A. Their research often focuses on academic recognition. B. Their patents are not recognized by businesses. C. Their research labs are not well-equipped. D. Their ideas are too difficult for businesses to apply.Q3. What is one problem caused by university patents, according to the passage?A. They help companies create more patents.B. They reduce the number of students in universities.C. They increase public interest in science.D. They make it harder for companies to do their own research. Q4. What can be inferred about the future of university research from the passage?A. It will continue to drive economic growth. B. It may face increased scrutiny from governments. C. It will replace corporate research entirely. D. It will lead to stronger collaboration with businesses.Q5. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Universities have failed to drive economic growth despite their expansion. B. Corporate research labs were more effective than universities in driving innovation. C. Governments should invest more in university research to boost productivity. D. Collaboration between universities and businesses is the key to future innovation.Part III. KEYQ1.【答案】C【解析】细节题。题目出处为“But in the 1970s and 1980s, competition rules became weaker. As a result, companies stopped investing as much in research and started depending on universities to do the work instead.” 意为：“然而，随着20世纪70年代和80年代竞争政策的放松，企业减少了研究工作，转而依靠大学来进行研究。” 因此，正确答案为C。Q2.【答案】A【解析】细节题。题目出处为“Also, university researchers often focus more on getting academic success than on solving real-world problems.” 意为：“此外，大学研究往往优先考虑学术认可而非实际应用。” 因此，正确答案为A。Q3.【答案】D 【解析】细节题。题目出处为“The study found that company patenting has gone down by about 1.5% each year because of competition from university start-ups.” 意为：“研究发现，由于大学初创企业的竞争，公司的专利申请量每年减少了约1.5%。” 因此，正确答案为D。Q4. 【答案】B 【解析】推理题。题目出处为“But if university research does not clearly help the economy, governments may need to rethink how much money they spend on it.” 意为：“然而，如果大学科研的经济效益仍然不明朗，政府可能需要重新考虑给予大学的财政支持。” 因此，可以推断大学研究未来可能会受到政府更严格的审查。正确答案为B。Q5. 【答案】A 【解析】主旨题。文章整体讨论了尽管大学在全球范围内经历了快速扩张，但生产力增长却放缓，大学研究未能有效推动经济增长。因此，正确答案为A。（本文图片来源于摄图网，版权归摄图网所有)

(Q1) Why is WHO concerned about it? Who is at risk and how can you protect yourself? Here to talk about it is Doctor Wenqing Zhang. Welcome, Wenqing, talk to us about avian influenza and how it’s affecting humans.avian adj. 鸟（类）的；关于鸟（类）的Dr. Wenqing Zhang: Avian influenza or bird flu is a disease in birds caused by a virus. Sometimes the virus makes them sick, but sometimes the birds don’t get sick from the disease but act as carriers of the virus. We’ve also seen this virus in mammals such as foxes, minks, seals and sea lions, and most recently in cows in the US. In rare cases, people have also been infected when in contact with infected birds or mammals or contaminated environments.mink n. 水貂Vismita Gupta-Smith: So, Wenqing, if human infections are so rare, why is WHO concerned about it?Dr. Wenqing Zhang: So far, close to 900 human infections have been reported. (Q2) Although the number may appear not as big as many other outbreaks, we need to bear into mind is that each infection in human is an attempt of the virus to try to establish itself in human population. Although the chances are slim so far, as long as it succeeds once, just once, it is a start of an influenza pandemic, which can be as mild as the 2009 pandemic, but equally, it could also be devastating, like the 1918 one, also called the Spanish flu. That’s why, Vismita, we are concerned about the avian influenza and are watching it very closely.pandemic n.（全国或全球性）流行病；大流行病Vismita Gupta-Smith: Talk to us about who is at risk of bird flu.Dr. Wenqing Zhang: Anyone exposed to infected live or dead poultry or infected animals or contaminated environments such as live bird markets is at risk. (Q3) Slaughtering, de-feathering, handling carcasses and preparing poultry for consumption, especially in household settings, are also risk factors. So, if you are a poultry farmer or have chickens in your backyard, you need to be aware that you are at a potential risk of catching bird flu. (Q4) With avian influenza detected in cows in the US recently, if you are a dairy worker, you’ll also need to be aware that you are at a potential risk of catching bird flu.carcass n. 动物尸体；（尤指供食用的）畜体Vismita Gupta-Smith: Wenqing, we know that this virus is evolving constantly. Talk to us about how WHO is preparing countries for a possible pandemic.Dr. Wenqing Zhang: The risk of an influenza pandemic is persistent and is being watched closely by a long-standing global system called the Global Influenza Surveillance and Response System, also called GISRS. This system will rapidly detect an influenza pandemic virus once it enters into human population, and from there it will trigger a series of response, including the development of laboratory diagnostics and vaccines. In addition, WHO will rapidly release a series of practical guidance to countries tailored to the specific pandemic response needs.diagnostics n. 诊断学Vismita Gupta-Smith: So that’s why it’s important to keep an eye on the virus to see how it’s changing. Tell us in case of an outbreak, which foods are safe to eat?Dr. Wenqing Zhang: (Q5) Avoid consuming raw milk, eggs, and meat. Make sure you consume pasteurized or properly boiled milk and thoroughly cooked eggs and meat. If you’re handling raw products, make sure you wash your hands before and after, and follow other good food safety practices. This is, in fact, our standing advice, with or without avian influenza, because these practices protect you from many diseases.pasteurized adj.（牛奶等）巴氏消毒的Vismita Gupta-Smith: So, tell us what else the public needs to do in case of an outbreak to protect themselves.Dr. Wenqing Zhang: Be vigilant. (Q6) Minimize contact with animals in areas affected with avian influenza. Avoid contact with surfaces contaminated with animal feces. Strictly avoid contact with dead or sick animals, including wild birds. Report dead animals or request their removal by contacting local authorities. And wash your hands frequently and thoroughly, especially after contact with animals and their environments.vigilant adj. 警觉的；警惕的；警戒的；谨慎Vismita Gupta-Smith: Thank you, Wenqing. There you have it, Science in 5 today. Until next time then, stay safe, stay healthy and stick with science.Part III. KEYQ1. C. 主旨题。文章主要围绕禽流感展开，开门见山提出了“Why is WHO concerned about it?

Ways to maintain and improve brain health and unlock hidden potential.B. The human brain uses only a small fraction of its capacity.C. The impact of stress on brain function.D. The structure of the human brain.Part II. TRANSCRIPTHow to Tap into the Hidden Potential of Your Brain(Q1) Have you heard the notion that humans use only 10% of their brains? It’s a common theory, but actually, it isn’t really true! The average human brain is full and actively engaged with all of its parts. However, that doesn’t mean it’s unable to do more!By creatively adapting new pathways through skills, knowledge and experiences, you may find hidden potential you never knew existed. But how do you do that?Isn’t Your Brain Already Busy Enough?Well, yes. The brain never stops doing its job in some capacity. (Q2) Even during sleep, the brain is refreshing and processing the information it’s taken in.The human brain has approximately 100 billion neurons. It’s basically the control center of everything we think, do and say. By sending and receiving chemical and electrical signals throughout the body, our brain keeps us alive, and helps us experience our world both inside and out.Science can tell us what parts of the brain are associated with certain thoughts and actions. For example, the cerebrum, brainstem, cerebellum and cerebral cortex all have specific functions. The brain is divided into two “hemispheres” that communicate with each other through an organ called the “corpus callosum.” Many other glands and organs complete our amazing brains and allow us to experience our human existence.cerebrum n. 大脑cerebral adj. 大脑的；智力的cortex n. 大脑皮层callosum n. 胼胝体Yes, it’s complicated, and very, very busy! But that’s the beautiful thing about it. It loves to be busy. And if you don’t give it enough to do, it often starts to ruminate thoughts, just to have something to think about.ruminate v. 沉思；认真思考The “untapped potential” is the ability of your brain for growth and adaptation. New pathways can be created. So, even though your brain is always active, there’s always room for more! The question is: how do you make those new connections?As you search for the path to your unleashed genius, the answer might be hiding in plasticity.What’s Plasticity Got to Do With it?(Q3) Neuroplasticity is the way the brain is able to reorganize pathways and create new connections. “Neuro” refers to neurons and “plasticity” refers to the brain’s ability to change. Functionally, the brain can move some tasks from a damaged part of the brain to an undamaged area. Structurally, it can change physically as a result of things like learning. The brain’s ability to grow and change is one of its most amazing features.To get the best out of your brain, you need to treat it well. You might not have given much thought to it, because the brain just does its job without much exertion on our part. But there are things you can do to keep your brain in the best shape possible.(Q4-1) Exercise is one of the best things you can do to promote a healthy brain. (Q5) At least 2.5 hours of moderately intense cardio is recommended each week for most people. Walking, strength training and yoga are some other activities that can fill in the spaces between heavier workouts. A sedentary lifestyle can diminish your brain’s capacity to perform well. So, remember to get up and get moving for optimal brain health!cardio n. 有氧运动sedentary adj. 坐着的，（惯于）久坐不动的(Q4-2) Get good restful sleep. Turn off your cell phone and other electronics at least an hour before going to sleep. Use calming techniques like meditation or slow breathing to relax your body at bedtime. Having a room that is clear of clutter, lights and outside noise can create an environment conducive to peaceful sleep, along with a regular sleep routine.clutter n. 杂乱; 混乱; 喧嚣Laughter and enjoying social time allows you to relax, which produces chemicals in your brain that induce happiness and relaxation. Minimize or avoid stress as much as possible. Laughter and fun can be good for your brain, but chemicals produced by stress can be harmful. So choose your thoughts and activities carefully.(Q4-3) Eat good healthy food. You know the old saying, “garbage in, garbage out”? Your brain will be affected by what you put into your body. So be mindful of what you consume. You really are what you eat. Do you want to be a juicy peach, or a sugary fat-filled donut?How you treat your brain is key to finding your hidden potential and genius status. Your brain is ready and willing to take you there, but it’s up to you to find the way!Train the BrainSo how do you find your way to the holy grail of hidden potential? Train the brain! Anything that stretches your mind above your familiar routine and makes the brain work at something new is a step in the right direction!grail n. 渴望但永远得不到的东西；努力追求但永远不可能实现的目标（或理想）Boosting your cognitive abilities and mental agility are helpful tools in making new connections. Brain Training exercises are a great starting point.agility n. 敏捷；灵活；机敏Crossword puzzles, jigsaw puzzles, and word games are all great brain builders.Play games. (Q6) Card games, and games that involve other people, are a double win. You get some social time as well!Learn a new language or learn to play an instrument.Take a class. Do you like to cook? Want to know more about a hobby? Build a model, knit, learn a new computer skill. Working your memory is another way to train your brain. The University of St. Augustine for Health Sciences recommends memory techniques that may help.Organize information into an outline and highlight important points.(Q7) Use the chunking method, which involves grouping similar things together.Make associations, like remembering someone’s name with a color or object.Mnemonics are a fun way to remember certain facts or bits of information. For example, to recall the lines in a treble clef, use the phrase, “Every Good Boy Does Fine”. The first letter of each word corresponds to the notes of each line - E-G-B-D-F. Likewise, the spaces between can be remembered by using the word “FACE” (F-A-C-E).treble clef: 高音谱号As you find your way down the path of greater mental agility, you’ll most likely have less brain fog, increased awareness and energy. When you stay on this path, you may find your hidden potential rising!Unlock Your Genius with CreativityThe brain is made for creativity. You might say you don’t have the time or energy to be creative, but when you think about it, you’re creating all the time. (Q8) One great catalyst for creation is boredom. Allowing your mind to become bored can spark creativity.In her book, Big Magic, Author Elizabeth Gilbert wrote, “The Universe buries strange jewels deep within us all, and then stands back to see if we can find them.”Brainstorming is another way to help your thoughts flow. Write down all the things you can think of when looking for something new to do or learn, or when trying to solve a problem. Often, one idea will lead to another. Even if it seems impossible, write it down.When you embrace curiosity and try looking at things with a new perspective, you become open to new ideas.Overcome your Limiting BeliefsBelieving in yourself is important when you’ve put your sights on the next level. There may be times of discouragement, but don’t allow doubt to cloud your vision. You are most likely closer to success than you think!Reframe negative thoughts by changing the way you look at challenges. If your brain is telling you something is too hard, you can reframe that thought by telling yourself that it may be difficult, but you can do it.When you continue to take action, step by step, you gain confidence and competence. Ignore negative self-talk, remember how far you’ve come and don’t give up.(Q9) There will be setbacks in any new endeavor, but that’s not the time to quit. Learn from mistakes and failure, because these two travel companions lead you to better understanding. A failed attempt is just a signpost that lets you know you took the wrong turn.Athlete Travis Rice said, “We’ll never know our full potential unless we push ourselves to find it.”The hidden potential of your brain is like buried treasure just waiting for you to discover it. When you create new neural pathways through learning, growth and adaptation, you may find yourself becoming more of who you are meant to be.You never know what genius awaits you until you take the first step and try something new. Wake up your brain! And discover the secrets of your hidden potential.Part III. KEYQ1. A. 细节题。根据“Have you heard the notion that humans use only 10% of their brains?” 可知普遍的理论认为我们只使用了大脑的10%。因此答案为A。Q2.

第12届教学大赛商务英语组二等奖贺静授课

授课点评：贺静老师授课效果较好，教学目标清楚、教学方法得当、教学程序井井有条。此外，贺静老师口齿清晰，语音语调比较纯正、流利；教态端庄自然，有亲和力，教学过程中与学生互动良好，体现了以学生为主体，教师为主导的教学原则。授课分两部分。第一部分介绍该单元（Empire of Wealth）的总教学安排，用了3分30秒，时间把握得比较好。另外，设计的PPT形式多样，各种图表清楚展现了教学安排。授课开始的第三分钟，PPT显示的该单元总教学目标及三篇课文的教学目标一览无遗，加上贺静老师的阐释，清晰地传递了教学目标和学习目标，这能帮助学生在课堂内外围绕主题有效学习。紧接着，贺静老师借助PPT上的流程图比较详细地介绍了授课课文In Praise of Competitive Urges的教学安排，其中的Problem-centred教学方法对学生发现、分析和解决问题有很大帮助。之后进入第二部分：比赛授课阶段。第二部分具体授课含四个阶段。进入第一阶段Warm-up时，贺静老师显得有点紧张，但很快就调整好了状态。该阶段有教师对课文理解的提问，请学生从课文中找到相关的依据回答问题，这种做法本来值得称道，因为授课不能离开课文。但是，Warm-up阶段是课前准备阶段，因此，贺静老师在Warm-up阶段讲解课文不妥，建议把重点放在教材中的Warm-up Activities上，适当设计一些附加的活动，才符合教学逻辑。此外，在总时间为20分钟且第一阶段用了3分30秒的情况下，Warm-up阶段用了5分1秒显得有点过长。之后是第二阶段Questionnaire Results，贺静老师分析解释了调查表中的信息，谈了自己对问题的看法，期间激励学生思考、回答问题，这对培养学生的独立思考能力及理解课文非常有益。Questionnaire之后进入授课第三阶段：Wealth-flaunting Motivations / Summarizing。炫富动机是课文包含的核心内容之一。因此，讨论炫富动机有助于学生理解课文。教师要求学生从PPT上（视频13'）显示的课文段落寻找答案，并要求学生做pair work找到有关的词汇。另外，通过分析课文的修辞寓意，贺静老师阐释了文章作者的真实目的。这一点做得很好。另一方面，根据该单元内容，所授的是“综合商务英语”课程。因此，贺静老师应更多围绕语言难点、篇章结构、写作风格、文法修辞等方面进行解释，让学生对课文有更深层次的理解。第四阶段Assignment在视频18'15"开始。课后作业包括questionnaire设计、调研报告写作、相关阅读作业。这样较好兼顾了综合商务英语课程语言学习和商务实践的教学特点。建议更多以教材内容教学为主，重视语言、篇章教学，在帮助学生充分理解课文的前提下掌握一些商务知识和技能；需要结合课文融入更多的思政教育内容。点评专家：翁凤翔

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
