④(动作描写)出于好奇,那个男孩急切地打开盒子,想看看里面是什么礼物。
_________________, the boy opened the box anxiously to see what gift was inside.

Out of curiosity
[名师点津] (1)curiosity表示“好奇心”时一般为不可数名词,但表示“珍品;古董;奇异的物或事”时是可数名词。
(2)It is curious that...中that从句常用虚拟语气,即其中的谓语部分用“should (竟然)+动词原形”表示,should可省略。

→As he ____________________________,the man was brought to the court.(accuse)

[名师点津] accuse与charge都可表示“指责,控诉”,但两者介词搭配不同: accuse sb.of...,charge sb.with...。
句式剖析
1.be+v.-ed+to do;现在分词(短语)作状语
[教材原文]The fire, which is thought to have started from the 8th floor, spread quickly through the tower block on Sunday night, leaving people on the upper floors trapped.周日晚上的大火被认为是从九楼开始的,很快蔓延到整座公寓大楼,把高楼层的人们困在里面。
句中is thought to have started使用的是be thought to do结构,其中不定式的完成式to have done强调事情已经发生,意为“被认为做了……”;leaving people on the upper floors trapped为动词-ing形式,在句中作结果状语。
(1)be thought to do结构中的不定式to do根据所发生的时间不同可以用一般式(to do)、完成式(to have done)和进行式(to be doing)。该句式可以转换为It is thought that...。这两个结构中的thought可以用said/reported/believed等替换,表示“据说/据报道/人们相信”等;
(2)动词-ing形式在句中除了作结果状语以外,还可作时间、条件、原因、让步、伴随或方式状语等。动词-ing形式作时间、条件、原因、让步状语时多位于句首;作结果、伴随状语时常位于句末。其否定式为“not+动词-ing形式”。
[即学即练]——单句语法填空/句型转换
①The boy was thought ________________ (break) the cup, but he denied.
②I finally achieved my dream, ____________ (make) me more confident about myself.
③The manager locked the door, only ____________ (find) that he had left his keys in the office.

→The researchers made a great discovery, ______________________ the world better.
⑤It is said that the villagers are building a better road leading to the surrounding cities.
→The villagers ________________________ a better road leading to the surrounding cities.
helping us to understand
are said to be building
[名师点津] 动词-ing形式在句中作结果状语表示主句的动作所带来的必然结果,相当于一个并列谓语,而only to do表示“意想不到的结果”。
2.同位语从句
[教材原文]There is concern that the construction company that built the tower block had not followed fire safety rules.有人担心建造公寓大楼的建筑公司没有遵守消防安全规定。
句中第一个that引导同位语从句,对前面的抽象名词进行解释说明;第二个that引导定语从句,修饰先行词the construction company,that在定语从句中作主语,也可用which替换。
(1)同位语从句在句中作某一名词的同位语,位于该名词之后,用以说明该名词的具体内容;
(2)常见同位语从句修饰的名词有advice,conclusion,doubt,fact,hope,idea,news,promise,question,suggestion,thought,truth,wish,word等。同位语从句的引导词还有whether,how,where,when,why等。
[即学即练]——单句语法填空/完成句子

③有消息说,一些来自美国的游客要来我们村。
Here comes the news ___________________________________
_____________________.
that/which
that
that some tourists from America will come
to our village
[名师点津] that引导同位语从句和定语从句的区别:
(1)that引导定语从句时,既起引导词的作用,又在从句中充当句子成分;如果在从句中作宾语,则可以省略,所修饰的名词指物时可用which替换。
(2)that引导同位语从句时,在从句中不充当任何成分,一般不能省略。
3.while连接并列句
[教材原文]We can see that the first news report pays more attention to the rescue efforts, while the second talks more about deaths and injuries.我们可以看到,第一篇新闻报道更多地关注救援工作,而第二篇新闻报道更多地谈论伤亡。
句中while为并列连词,连接两个并列分句,表示前后意义上的对比关系。
(1)while 用作连词时,还有以下含义:
①“当……时候;和……同时”,引导时间状语从句;
②“虽然,尽管”,引导让步状语从句,一般放在句首,不放在句末。
(2)用作名词,表示“一会儿或一段时间”,其常见搭配: for a while 一会儿,一时;once in a while 偶尔。
[即学即练]——单句语法填空/完成句子
①______________________ he is in poor health,he works hard.
②I met with an old friend of mine ____________ I was walking along the street yesterday.
③有些人浪费粮食,然而有些人却吃不饱。
Some people waste food ________________________ to eat.
④我们正沿着河边散步时,看见一条鱼跃出了水面。
_______________________________________,we saw a fish jump out of the water.
While/Though/Although
while/when
while others haven't enough
While/When we were walking along the river
[名师点津] while 和 when 都可以引导时间状语从句,但应注意: while 引导的时间状语从句中的谓语动词必须是延续性的动词或表示状态的词;而 when 引导的时间状语从句中的谓语动词既可以是延续性动词,也可以是非延续性动词。当时间状语从句中的谓语动词是延续性动词时,while 和 when 可以互相替换。
4.be about to do...when...“正要做……这时……”
[教材原文]I was about to have a bath when I heard people screaming and dogs barking.我正要洗澡,突然听到人们的尖叫声和狗吠声。
be about to do...表示“即将发生的动作”,不与表示时间的副词或其他时间状语连用,常用于be about to do...when...,意为“正要做……这时……”。

It is becoming more apparent now that students do more online learning than they ever had before. There are plenty of ways that educators can use technology to create online lessons and deliver instruction remotely.
You may think that the only way to run an online class is synchronously through web conferences in the same way that physical learning does—with all of the students and the teacher present at the same time. In most cases, that won't be very practical, since the probability that all of the learners and the educator are all together with live, stable Internet connections is relatively low.
The most crucial thing to keep in mind is that online learning does not need to take place at the same time as online teaching. You create a course in your Learning Management System (LMS) to be a series of modules (模块). Then you ask your learners to take the modules one after another, because each builds on the last. Each module may be a video that you created regarding the content, accompanied by a PDF, some relevant documents and third-party links, etc. Learners can log in to the virtual classroom whenever they want, even during the early hours of the morning, to access each module in the order you have designed. You can also lay out some essential rules for the course, like the frequency and types of assessments and more.
As far as I'm concerned, while most of the time online learning saves the learning cost and provides diverse studying materials and instruction from educators, allowing your learners the freedom to do their coursework according to their schedules is what makes online learning distinctive. It helps boost engagement, teach your learners how to plan for themselves and be responsible, and improve their overall lives.

Bad news sells.If it bleeds, it leads.No news is good news, and good news is no news.Those are the classic rules for the evening broadcasts and the morning papers.But now that information is being spread and monitored (监控) in different ways, researchers are discovering new rules.By tracking people's e-mails and online posts, scientists have found that good news can spread faster and farther than disasters and sob stories.
“The ‘if it bleeds’ rule works for mass media,” says Jonah Berger, a scholar at the University of Pennsylvania.“They want your eyeballs and don't care how you're feeling.But when you share a story with your friends, you care a lot more how they react.You don't want them to think of you as a Debbie Downer.”
Researchers analyzing word-of-mouth communication—e-mails, Web posts and reviews, face-to-face conversations—found that it tended to be more positive than negative (消极的), but that didn't necessarily mean people preferred positive news.Was positive news shared more often simply because people experienced more good things than bad things? To test for that possibility, Dr.Berger looked at how people spread a particular set of news stories: thousands of articles on The New York Times' website.He and a Penn colleague analyzed the “most e-mailed” list for six months.One of his first findings was that articles in the science section were much more likely to make the list than non-science articles.He found that science amazed The New York Times' readers and made them want to share this positive feeling with others.
Readers also tended to share articles that were exciting or funny, or that inspired negative feelings like anger or anxiety, but not articles that left them merely sad.They needed to be aroused (激发) one way or the other, and they preferred good news to bad.The more positive an article, the more likely it was to be shared, as Dr.Berger explains in his new book, Contagious: Why Things Catch On.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。人们常说“没有消息就是最好的消息”,类似的传统说法只适合于大众媒体。在网络普及的时代,好消息在网络上的传播速度比坏消息要快很多。

Do you ever hear a friend speak on a topic with the belief that “everyone” thinks the same way? Do you often find yourself surrounded in a social media feed that is completely tailored to you and your beliefs, reading along without the immediate realization?
A social media echo chamber (回声室) is when one experiences a tailored media experience that leaves out opposing viewpoints and differing voices. Some social media sites connect groups of like-minded users together based on shared content preferences.As a result, people see and take in information according to our preexisting beliefs and opinions.Social media companies therefore rely on algorithms (算法) to assess our interests and flood us with information that will keep our attention.The algorithms focus on what we “like” and “share” to keep feeding content that makes us comfortable.
In order to truly get access to all information and to evaluate our media, we must give ourselves the opportunity to step out of our comfort zone.While this becomes increasingly challenging, there are things we can do.The first step is to beef up your media consumption sources.Adding in a few media sources with differing opinions will allow you to at least understand what people are saying outside of your echo chamber.Next, read each thing you see with a critical eye.Make sure that each thing you accept as truth is a fact.Lastly, attempt to search out reliable new sources that are known for trying their best to leave out false information.By accepting that our media buffet on social media is a product of our present beliefs and opinions, we can work to make sure we are not simply stuck in a social media echo chamber.
[语篇解读] 本文是一篇说明文。文章主要分析了社交媒体回音室产生的原因,并就如何确保我们不会简单地被困在社交媒体回音室里提出建议。
