How do yo
23、u set about it? Dr. Paul Meara, who lectures in applied linguistics, believes there are lots of different ways of learning words.“Generally, anything you do with the word which actually makes them yours rather than just abstract things which appear in a book or on a record will almost certainly help
24、 you to learn them. So, for example, writing them down is better than reading them. Putting them on bits of paper and sticking them up around your house is better than just looking at them in the page of a book. Saying them out loud is better than reading them quietly. Anything which actually gets y
25、ou to use would probably help.“Encouragement and nurturing in the students and belief in their ability to learn is one of the central tenets of a relatively new approach. Its called Accelerated Learning and its an offshoot of an idea that began in Bulgaria. Michael Lawlor runs a language school for
26、business executives, teaching foreign languages to the British, and English to foreigners. Hes currently testing this system to see if he can incorporate it into his teaching program at his school. The main principle is to tap the students emotions as well as their intellects and, to begin with, to
27、get them to visualize themselves as successful communicators in the language theyre learning.“They can actually create a very clear mental picture of themselves in five years time, in the country where the language is spoken, interacting with the people. They can also boots their own confidence as l
28、earners by recreating past successful learning situations. Many people fail in learning a language because they lose belief in themselves as a learner. The other element which we have found very helpful is to teach people to relax. People learn better when they relax. We teach them to sit properly s
29、o that they dont lose energy up. All these things are part of the learning process.“Dr. Lazanov in Bulgaria, in his original experiments, found that baroque music produced a state of relaxed awareness, which is now known more generally as the alpha state. If you take the largo passages or the adagio
30、 passages from largo music, you find that they correspond more or less to the slowed-down speed of the human heart about 60 beats to the minute. So were helping people to slow down their body rhythms. The mind then becomes more receptive and open to passive learning, to listening. So thats why music
31、 of this kind is important. But it also, of course, touches the emotions. The music will induce a state of pleasurable expectation and if we can link the emotion of pleasure with learning, then were making a very valuable contribution to the students affective, or emotional involvement with the lear
32、ning process.“The choice of a soft-spoken female voice to present the language in accelerated learning techniques is also deliberate. After ail, who was it who taught you to speak your own language all those years ago?（分数：5.00）(1).Many people fail in learning because _.（分数：1.00）A.they are too old.B.
33、they lose their own confidence.C.they lack language ability.D.the teachers are not good enough.(2).You can remember the words in all the ways expect _.（分数：1.00）A.saying them out loud.B.looking at them in a book.C.writing them down.D.sticking them up around your room.(3).To visualize oneself is to _.

36、d Health Organization is constantly collecting detailed information from its chain of influenza reference laboratories throughout the world, it is extremely difficult for epidemiologists, who study infectious disease, to predict when and where the next flu epidemic will occur, and how severe it will
37、 be.There are three kinds of influenza virus, known as A, B and C. Influenza C virus is relatively stable and causes mild infections that do not spread far through the population. The A and B types are unstable, and are responsible for the epidemics that cause frequent concern. Following any virus a
38、ttack, the human body builds up antibodies which confer immunity to that strain of virus, but a virus with the capacity to change its character is able to by-pass this protection. Variability is less developed in the influenza B virus, which affects only human beings. An influenza B virus may cause
39、a widespread epidemic but will have little effect if introduced into the same community soon afterwards, since nearly everyone will have built up antibodies and will be immune. The influenza A virus, which affects animals also, is extremely unstable and is responsible for some of the worst outbreaks
40、 of the disease, such as the unparalleled pandemic, or world epidemic, of 1918-19, when about half the worlds population were infected and about twenty million people died, some from pneumonia caused by the virus itself and some from secondary complications caused by bacteria.Accurate prediction is
41、difficult because of the complication of the factors. A particular virus may be related to one to which some of the population have partial involved immunity. The extent to which it will spread will depend on factors such as its own strength, or virulence the ease with which it can be transmitted an
42、d the strength of the opposition it encounters. Scientists, however, have a reliable general picture of the world situation, influenza A attacks us in waves every two or three years, while influenza B, which travels more slowly, launches its main assaults every three to six years. The outbreaks vary
43、 from isolated cases to epidemic involving a tenth or more of the population. We may confidently prophesy that sooner or later large numbers of people will be feeling the unpleasant effects of some kind of influenza virus.（分数：5.00）(1).Which of the following is the most appropriate title for the pass
