21、When employing role-plays, debates, topic discussions, etc., I have noticed that some students are often timid in expressing their viewpoints. This seems due to a number of reasons:
·Students don't have an opinion on the subject.
·Students have an opinion, but are worried about what the other students might say or think.
·Students have an opinion, but don't feel they can say exactly what they mean.
·Students begin giving their opinion, but want to state it in the same eloquent manner that they are capable of in their native language.
·Othermore actively participating students, feel confident in their opinions and express them eloquently making the less confident students more timid.
In fact, conversation lessons and exercises are intended to improve conversational skills. For this reason, I find it helpful to first focus on building skills by eliminating some of the barriers that might be in the way of production.Having been assigned roles, opinions and points of view that they do not necessarily share, students are freed from having to express their own opinions. Therefore, they can focus on expressing themselves well in English. In this way, students tend to concentrate more on production skills, and less on factual content. They also are less likely to insist on literal translations from their mother tongue.
Applying this approach can begin slowly by providing students with short role plays using cue cards. Once students become comfortable with target structures and representing differing points of view, classes can move onto more elaborated exercises such as debates and group decision making activities. This approach bears fruit especially when debating opposing points of view. By representing opposing points of view, students' imagination are activated by trying to focus on all the various points that an opposing stand on any given issue may take. As students inherently do not agree with the view they represent, they are freed from having to invest emotionally in the statements they make. More importantly, to some extent, students tend to focus more on correct function and structure when they do not become too emotionally involved in what they are saying.
Of course, this is not to say that students should not express their own opinions. After all, when students go out into the "real" world they will want to say what they mean. However, taking out the personal investment factor can help students first become more confident in using English. Once this confidence is gained, students - especially timid students - will be more self-assured when expressing their own points of view.

A. teach students to do role-plays
B. have conversation lessons effectively
C. teach students to express their own opinions
D. help students discuss in class
【2】Which of the following does NOT make students shy in expressing their opinion?
A. Other students are more eloquent.
B. They have no their own opinions.

【3】According to the passage, how are conversation skills easier to be build?
A. By asking students to tell their own opinions.
B. By practicing arranged roles and opinions.
C. By keeping speaking in English.
D. By having debates at first.
【4】The underlined word eliminating can be best replaced by ______ .
A. setting up B. making room for
C. struggling for D. getting rid of
【5】 One of the benefits that the students can obtain from the role-play approach is that ______ .
A. they focus more on the English language itself
B. they pay more attention to the factual content
C. they show more affection for their mother tongue
D. they gain more opportunity to express their own opinions

23、Scenery along the"sky road"
For centuries, Tibet has not been explored as much by the outside world due to its remote location, extreme climate and geographic environment. Dubbed the “sky road”, the Qinghai-Tibet Railway has become the most popular and convenient way to connect Tibet to the rest of China. This 1,956-kilometer-long world-renowned railway begins in Xining and ends in Lhasa. The stunning scenery along the railway offers not only a feast for the eyes, but also a journey for the soul.
Qinghai Lake: A paradise for birdwatchers and cyclists
Dazzling like a crystal-clear gem, Qinghai Lake is the largest inland lake as well as saline lake in China. Be it the blue sky and water, the green grassland or mesmerizing landscapes---Qinghai Lake boasts great charms that are worth exploring.
Qinghai Lake is definitely a paradise for bird lovers as many different kinds of birds would fly here to breed in May and June due to the mild weather. Meanwhile, for cyclists, cycling around the lake not only allows them to enjoy the beauty of the lake view, but also while away the time.
Tips: The best time to visit the Qinghai Lake is from April to August as numerous Cole flowers blossom along the lake during that time, forming breathtaking scenery for visitors. In addition, May and June is the best season for bird lovers.
Kunlun Mountains: More than just mountains
As the train keeps moving up, a picturesque view of Kunlun Mountains appears before you.
Reputed as the holy mountains, Kunlun Mountains extend west from the Pamirs with a length of 2,500 kilometers. The 6,178-meter Yuzhu Peak is the highest of the Kunlun Mountains in Qinghai. The high peaks of the mountains are covered with snow and mist all year round, creating must-see view along the Qinghai-Tibet Railway.
It's worth mentioning that the Yuzhu Peak is the first sightseeing station for passengers, which allows them to get off the train and take photos outside. For climbing beginners, this peak is considered to be the ideal destination as its route requires less technique.
Hoh Xil Nature Reserve: Forbidden zone for humans
Hoh Xil, which means"green mountains"in Mongolian, is a plateau between the Kunlun and Tanggula mountain ranges, with an average altitude of 5,000 meters. Home to many wild animals, including the Tibetan antelope and the wild yak(牦牛), the Hoh Xil Nature Reserve is undoubtedly a desolate region in the northwestern part of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau in China.
The extensive area of alpine mountains is situated more than 4,500 meters above sea level, where sub-zero average temperatures prevail all year round. The geographic and harsh climatic conditions have made this place become the"forbidden zone for humans". This is probably one of the few places left on Earth where one could get off the beaten track and find inner peace.
Tips: As there are no signs in the Hoh Xil Nature Reserve, visitors often get lost here. Remember to bring a local herdsman with you or rent car to travel.
Lhasa: The start of the journey to Tibet
The final destination of the Qinghai-Tibet train trip-Lhasa, offers almost every aspect of Tibetan culture. If one must pick a name card for Lhasa, then Potala Palace is very likely to be the answer for that. No one can really say that he/she has visited Lhasa unless they have been to Potala Palace. To start a journey in Lhasa, the Potala Palace is must-see destination for travelers from home and abroad.
【1】If you are a person desiring for an inner state of tranquility （安宁），which of the destinations is a must-see one along the“sky road”?
A．Qinghai Lake
B．Kunlun Moutains
C．Hoh Xil Nature Reserve
D．Lhasa
【2】Qinghai Lake is an ideal place to appreciate the following scenery EXCEPT ______.

【3】Which of the following descriptions is TRUE according to the passage?
A．Railway passengers can take photos near the Yuzhu Peak, but are forbidden to go mountain-climbing.
B．The Qinghai-Tibet Railway stretches more than 2,000 kilometers beginning in Xining and ending in Rikaze.
C．Some road signs are available in Hoh Xil Nature Reserve for tourists to find their exact location.
D．As a representative place for Lhasa, Potala Palace enjoys a world-wide reputation among travelers.
24、While some may complain about the possible death of the English language because of texting abbreviations like LOL, teenagers all over the world have actually kept endangered languages intact through SMS (short message service) messages.
Text messages written in regional, endangered languages by teens in Mexico and the Philippines are examples of languages reborn. Research into language renewal was carried out by Samuel Herrera, head of the linguistics laboratory at the Institute of Anthropological Research in Mexico City.
“Almost as soon as text messaging exploded on the world stage as a means to reach anyone, anywhere and anytime, young people began to find a way to make it more exclusive and develop their own code to use on the popular devices,” he wrote.
Professor Adam Michaelson, the director of the Institute for Endangered Languages of Corban University in Salem, Oregon, says that somewhere between the ages of six and twenty-five, people make a definitive decision as to whether or not they will stay or break with a language. The fact that they have taken the old and changed it into the new is something that not only makes sense, but also drives the continuation of culture. In fact, according to Dr Gregory Anderson, who is a researcher in the same department, young people need to be the ones reviving a dying language. This is, of course, the language that they will nurture and use as their own. For this reason, he has high hopes for the future.“If the language isn’t being used by their peer group, then they reject it outright,” Anderson concluded.
So, while some text messages may seem like a foreign language — like “nom nom” — some may actually be in languages considered nearly gone. Who knows, maybe Latin will become popular? Only time will tell.
【1】As soon as text messaging became popular, young people ____.
A．stopped using SMS
B．developed their own way of using it
C．changed it into something new
D．refused to abandon their own languages
【2】Dr Anderson believes that young people refuse to ____.
A．use an old language by changing it
B．use a language that is not used by their friends
C．send text messages in dying languages
D．help researchers preserve endangered languages
【3】Latin is a language ____.
A．forbidden in text messages
B．suited to communicating by SMS
C．that might grow to be fashionable
D．used at the Institute for Endangered Languages
【4】Which of the following might be a suitable title of the text?
A．Will SMS make language disappear or revive?
B．The future of language is decided by texting and teenagers.
C．Teens texting bring back languages from the edge of extinction.
D．Teenagers take responsibility for the protection of endangered languages.
25、 You can actually catch a good mood or a bad mood from your friends, according to a recent study in the journal Royal Society Open Science.But that shouldn't stop you from____with pals who are down in the dumps,say the study authors:____,the effect isn't large enough to push you into depression.
The new study adds to a growing body of research suggesting that happiness and sadness-as well as lifestyle and behavioral factors like smoking,drinking,obesity,fitness habits and even the ability to concentrate-can____across social networks, both online and in real life.But while many____studies have only looked at friendship data at one point in time, this is one of the few that measured social and mood changes over time.
The new research involved groups of junior-high and high-school students who took part in___ screenings(筛查） and answered questions about their best friends, many of whom were also enrolled in the study. In total,2,194 students were included in the____,which used a mathematical model to look for connections among friend networks.
Overall,kids whose friends suffered from bad moods were more____to report bad moods themselves- and they were less likely to have improved when they were screened again six months to a year later. When people had more happy friends,____,their moods were more likely to improve over time.
Some symptoms related to depression-like helplessness,tiredness and loss of interest-also seemed to follow this____,which scientists call “social contagion.”But this isn't something that people need to ___,says lead author Robert Eyre,a doctoral student at the University of Warwick. Rather, it's likely just a “____empathetic response that we're all familiar with, and something we recognize by common sense,"he says. In other words,when a friend is going through a rough patch, it makes sense that you'll feel some of their ___,and it's certainly not a reason to stay away.
The study also found that having friends who were clinically depressed did not __ participants' risk of becoming depressed themselves. “Your friends do not put you at risk of illness," says Eyre,"so a good course of action is simply to____them."To boost both of your moods, he suggests doing things together that you both ___-and taking other friends along to further spread those good feelings,too.”
