听力原文： Making and Writing Words Good morning, everyone. Today’s lecture is about making and writing words. Making words is conceptually an engaging and effective instructional task. For some of us its implementation is daunting.(1)Making and writing words is a variation of making words, a popular spelling and word study instructional activity. In making and writing words, students are guided by their teacher in writing and sorting words using a limited set of letters. Teachers have found that the activity is engaging and appears to be helpful in developing students’ proficiency in word recognition and spelling.(2)The major difference between the two activities is that in making words students manipulate letter cards, while in making and writing words, students actually write the words on a sheet of paper designed to accommodate the activity. (3)Making words is an excellent activity for helping students to develop greater awareness of word structure while gaining important practice in spelling. As with any exemplary instructional

strategy, variants that meet the needs of particular students are likely to emerge. Making and writing words is a variant of the original strategy that is particularly effective in engaging slightly older students in using letters to form and learn about words. (4)As in making words, making and writing words begins with the identification of vowels and consonants to be used in the lesson. Students each write these letters at the top of their making and writing words sheets.(5)Students will write words made from the letter set. Here is how the activity might be played out in the classroom: The teacher instructs the students to write the following letters in the appropriate boxes on their individual making and writing words sheets: the vowels a, e, i, and o: and the consonants c, n, t, and v. (6)The teacher works with the class through the remaining words she had planned. Throughout this work the teacher either pronounces the words or provides clues to help students figure out the word, or both. Thus, making and writing words promotes not only growth in spelling and decoding but also in vocabulary acquisition. The final word is always the “challenge word”.(7)Students are told that it uses all the letters listed, and they are challenged to write the word in the final box. (8)As in making words, the teacher guides the students to apply what they have learned, where they discover new words that follow or transfer some of the same patterns or principles. (9)Making and writing words involves students sorting the words they have just written. Using scissors, they cut out each box on the sheet to make individual word cards. For word sorting, students organize their cards into categories provided by the teacher. Of course, not all the sorts have to be letter-sound related. Teachers can also have students sort words into semantic or meaning-bearing categories. (10)As students become adept at sorting words, teachers may wish to have them name the categories. With each new sort, students not only gain added exposure to the words but they also analyze the words from different perspectives. This gives them greater control over and knowledge about how the words are constructed and what they mean. To sum up, today we mainly discussed a variation of making words— making and writing words. Thanks for your listening.

听力原文：W: Hi, did you hear about my upcoming trip to New York?M: I think I did hear something about it. You and Henry are attending some kind of function, right? W: Yeah. It’s an anniversary celebration for one of the companies we do a lot of work with, you know, Walcon Electronics. M: Right! Walcon is one of our biggest clients. W: It’s Walcon’s 120th anniversary and they’re throwing a big party. M: Well, you’ll have fun. W: Yeah. But I’m a bit worried. I’ve never attended a function like this before. Look, here’s the invitation. M: Oh!(1)It’s a black-tie event. That means you have to wear an evening gown. W: What? I don’t own an evening gown! M: (2)Not many people do. You can rent one, though. W: Oh wow! That means it’s going to be a very formal event, huh? M: A black-tie event is about as formal as it gets. Men wear tuxedos and ladies wear evening gowns. W: What else should I expect? M: (3)Waiters will walk around serving drinks. Most of the guests will mainly stand around socializing with each other. W: Have you ever been to a black-tie event?M: (4)Twice actually. And to be honest, it was a bit boring both times. W: Aside from the dressing, is there anything else I need to wear or take with me? M: I suggest keeping all other accessories to a minimum. W: I see. Any other tips or suggestions? M: Keep your eyes open and just sort of do what everybody else does.(5)And don’t get drunk or talk too loud or draw any attention to yourself! W: OK, good points. M: You and Henry are acting as representatives of the company so you’re kind of like ambassadors. W: Wow! Now I’m really stressed! M: It’s not that hard. Just be a good conversationalist and even more importantly, be a good listener. If someone makes a humorous remark, chuckle mildly, even if the comment isn’t very funny. And remember, always smile! W: Can I rent the evening gown in New York? M: Absolutely. Do some research before you go and find a good rental company. They will probably deliver it to your hotel. Make sure the dress fits well: otherwise, you can end up looking pretty silly. W: How much should I expect to pay to rent an evening gown? M: I’d say roughly $ 100. You could probably find some cheaper options, but you want to look good. W: Thanks, Gary. I really appreciate your help. M: Not at all. It should be an interesting experience for you. W: I hope so.1. Which is INCORRECT about the function the woman will attend?2. What does the man suggest the woman do?3. Which is mentioned by the man about the function?4.

听力原文：M: Good morning, Faith. In light of the recent economic downturn, we thought we should think about some ways we can conserve energy. W: (6 - 1)I think we could easily cut down on “ vampire power”. Our computers and other electronic devices actually continue to suck power, even when they are switched off. M: Good one!(6 - 2)The online encyclopedia Wikipedia claims that “vampire power” or “standby power” is responsible for using as much as 10% of electricity consumption. W: We could unplug the equipment or put in power strips that can completely turn off power. M: Just imagine, we could save 10% or 15% on our energy bill just by unplugging our computers! W: And that’s just the beginning! You see these lights above us? These use LED bulbs that are 10 times more efficient than the bulbs

you are using in the rest of the office. M: But they’re pretty pricey, aren’t they?W: (7)Yes. They cost more, but you’ll find that they pay for themselves. M: I’ve got one that will require a bit of sacrifice. We really don’t need to use bottled water for meetings. We could also get rid of paper cups for the water cooler and everyone could use their own mug instead. W: Ah, I love bottled water, but I agree that your idea is certainly more environmentally friendly. M: Yep. Sometimes going green does require that we change our mindset.(8)It’s funny how many of us are very conscientious at home. We recycle and reuse, but when we get to the office, we sometimes become very wasteful. W: I’ve recently noticed how much paper I use on a daily basis and I’ve been trying to cut down.(9)I’ve found that I very rarely actually need to print e-mails. Also, by utilizing my fax-modem, I don’t ever need to print a hardcopy for faxing. M: That’s going to add up! In the end you’ll find it makes a huge positive difference! W: But you know, even with all these good ideas and strategies, I feel like it counts for nothing when you factor in air travel. Our people make a lot of international trips each year and flying puts tons of CO2 into the atmosphere. M: Ah! Good point! Well,(10)for starters, with teleconferencing and instant e-mail one would hope business travel could be reduced. W: But sometimes there’s just no alternative. We have to check out factories, locations in some countries: you really have to look the person in the eye and physically shake their hand. M: This is true. Anyway, we’ve got a lot so far. Nice talking with you. W: Me too. I hope it will help a lot in the future. M: I’m sure it will.6. Which is INCORRECT about “vampire power”?7. What does the woman say about LED bulbs?8. What does the man imply according to the conversation?9. How does the woman plan to save paper?10. Which is a substitution for air travel according to the man?
