在空白处填入1个适当的单词或括号内单词的正确形式。

2.Great importance is attached to table ________ (manner) in formal occasions in China.
manners
解析 句意为:在中国,大家认为餐桌礼仪在正式场合非常重要。attach great importance to sth 意为“认为某事很重要”,to为介词,后加名词或动名词作宾语。注意manner 意为“礼仪”时要用复数形式。
3.I am writing with the _________ (intend) of informing you of the detailed information of the activity.
intention
解析 句意为:我写信的目的是告知你关于本次活动的详细信息。with the intention of doing sth意为“打算做某事”,为固定搭配。

4.Seeing a ray of hope, she decided ________ (raise) money for the project with a friend.
to raise

5.I felt extremely _________ of my _________ behaviour in the job interview.(shame)
ashamed
shameful

【知识拓展】it is a shame that… 是常考句式,其中shame为抽象名词具体化,可看作可数名词,意为“令人羞愧的人或事”。

6.Giving specific comments is an _________ (effect) way to be clear about our strengths and weaknesses.
effective
解析 句意为:给出确切的评价是一种能够使我们清楚自己的优点和缺点的有效方式。由冠词an 和名词way的提示可知,此处应用形容词作定语,修饰名词way。effect的形容词形式为effective,意为“有效的”。
7.He tried to return to work, but found he could no longer deal with the ___________ (demand) job.
demanding
解析 句意为:他试图回去工作,但是他发现已经无法应对这项费力的工作。根据后面的名词job可知,此处要填形容词,故用demanding,意为“费力的;要求高的”。

【易混辨析】as和which引导非限制性定语从句的区别
(1)从位置上而言,as引导的定语从句可置于句首、句中或句末,而which只能置于句中或句末。(2)从句意而言,as 有“正如”之意,which 仅用来指代先行词或前句,多译为“这一点”。(3)as多用于被动形式,如as is shown/reported…,而which 多用于主动形式。

Lesson 2 How Do We Like Teachers’ Feedback?
Part Ⅱ 拓展阅读训练
12
A
[江苏五市十一校2024高二联考] About 24 years ago, a student asked to interview me for a class task. He posed an interesting question: What is the most challenging part of teaching? I still periodically think about this question.
My response then: Trying to make each class the best one in an imaginative way. This challenge still holds true these many years and hundreds of classes later.
I am not the best at planning, something that my wife will readily confirm, but the process of preparing is joyful. Whether I am teaching a course for the first time or taught it a dozen times before, I wonder about the ways that I can engage students in the co-learning process. But I find I am inefficient when I wonder how my teaching will affect future innovation. As I was preparing for recent classes, I faced two items.

First, I was struck by three words from Nancy Kanwisher, professor of Neuroscience at MIT.In an interview about face blindness, Kanwisher found an amazing result in people’s brain scans. Asked what this finding meant to her, she replied with a smile, “That’s the fun of science. It’s fun to be told that you’re just completely wrong. Now you have to go back and think the new.” Thinking the new is a brilliant and simple way to summarise creativity.
The second comes from the wisdom of Jon Kabat-Zinn, an academic known for his work in meditation (冥想) and mindfulness-based stress reduction. He said, “Most of our thoughts are rather imprisoning even though thinking drives imagination and creativity. So we need to create a bigger arena (活动场所) for our thoughts and watch how they self-liberate.”
These concepts—thinking the new and allowing thoughts to self-liberate—aren’t easy ones to master, but can inspire us all in improving our innovative spirits. Now it’s time for me to do my best in thinking the new towards my next class.

【语篇导读】本文是一篇记叙文。文章主要讲述作者作为老师注重在课堂上的创新,激发学生的创造性思维。
1.What troubles the author most in his teaching career?( )
A
A.Using creativity in his class. B.Opposition from his wife.
C.Lacking the ability to plan. D.Preparation for interviews.
解析 细节理解题。根据第一段中的He posed an interesting question: What is the most challenging part of teaching? 和第二段中的My response then: Trying to make each class the best one in an imaginative way.可知,作者在教学生涯中最大的挑战是在课堂上发挥创意。故选A项。

2.What did Kanwisher think of her finding?( )
D
A.It surprised her greatly. B.It forced her to start from the beginning.
C.It developed her interest in science. D.It made her learn to rethink.
解析 细节理解题。根据第四段中坎威舍说的话Now you have to go back and think the new.可知,坎威舍认为她的发现使她学会了重新思考。故选D项。

3.What does the underlined word “imprisoning” in Paragraph 5 mean?( )
B
A.Practical. B.Closed. C.Absurd. D.Novel.
解析 词义猜测题。根据画线词下文So we need to create a bigger arena for our thoughts and watch how they self-liberate.可知,画线词所在句与下文是因果关系,由此推知,要为思想创造一个更大的舞台是因为我们的大多数思想都是封闭、禁锢的,画线词与closed意义相近。故选B项。
【方法总结】根据语义逻辑关系猜测词义
在阅读文章时,行文之间的衔接词可以提供重要信息,它们能够体现语句之间的逻辑关系,表明语义的转折、让步、顺承、对比等关系,有助于我们更好地理解文意,而上下文之间的逻辑关系则可以帮助我们猜测陌生词汇的含义。例如本题,画线词所在句和下一句之间为因果关系,因此我们可以根据So后面的内容进行倒推,猜测原因,由此确定答案。

4.What can we infer about the author from the last paragraph?( )
D
A.He will be devoted to his teaching.
B.He finds it hard to accept other ideas.
C.He will focus on the concept of innovation in class.
D.He will try his best to free students’ minds.
解析 推理判断题。根据最后一段内容可知,作者认为思考新事物、让思想自我解放能启发我们提高创新精神,由此推测,作者在思考下一节课的新内容时可能会重点关注如何解放学生的思想。故选D项。

[河北石家庄二中2023高二开学考试] In a recent staff meeting, my colleagues and I discussed ways to ease the current stress our 11th-grade students were feeling. I offered a successful strategy that I use for organising work in the classroom—negotiating (协商) due dates. The assistant replied, “Yes, a good idea, being flexible with due dates.” Flexible? That was not the word I used, and to me, those two words are not interchangeable; flexibility and negotiation are not the same thing.

Being flexible can help decrease stress and anxiety in the classroom. It shows willingness on the part of the teacher to listen, engage in conversation with students, and shift and adapt when possible. But the power dynamic (动态) has not really shifted. The student still needs to ask for permission, which may or may not be given. In a week when my work seems manageable, I may be feeling generous, but in a week when my workload is high, I may be less likely to lean towards flexibility. So flexibility might mean an extra hour, half a day, or a few days.
刷阅读理解
21
In either case the student has no power. In many ways, by the time students reach the stage of having to ask, it’s too late. The stress has already increased, and students are placed in a position where they may make poor decisions, like skipping classes, to get some extra time.
Negotiation is different. It happens at the beginning of the process and is a proactive approach that encourages shared ownership, an acceptance of equal responsibility. Negotiating brings the teacher and students together to address the issue equally. The date by which work will be done is a question for all, but the student does need to do the work, and the teacher needs to assess it. There are competing needs and schedules and workloads.
Sometimes even the smallest things are worth considering carefully. In teaching, there is nothing small. As a teacher, I usually self-reflect my practice, and strengthen my practice.

2.What is the author’s opinion of being flexible?( )
D
A.It makes the students feel free. B.It is a win-win choice in class.
