Passage 1

Unless you spend much time sitting in a college classroom or browsing through certain areas of the Internet,it＇

s possible that you had not heard of trigger warnings until a few weeks ago,when they made an appearance in the Times.The newspaper explained that the term refers to preemptive alters,issued by a professor or an class might be sufficiently graphic to spark symptoms of post-traumatic-stress disorder.

The term seems to have originated in online feminist forums,where trigger warnings have for some years been used to flag discussion of rape or other sexual violence.The Times piece,which was skeptically titled

“warnings are moving from the online fringes to the classroom,and might be more broadly applied to highlight in advance the distress or offense that a work of literature might cause.“Huckleberry Finn”would come with a warning for those who have experienced racism;The Merchant of Venice would have an anti-Semitism warning attached.The call from students for trigger warnings was spreading on campuses such as Oberlin,where a proposal was drafted that would advise professors to

“be aware of racism,classism,sexism,and other issues of privilege and oppression”

in devising their syllabi;and Rutgers,where a student argued in the campus newspaper that trigger warnings would contribute to preserving the classroom as a“safe space”for students.

Online discussion of trigger warnings has sometimes been guardedly sympathetic,sometimes critical.Jessica Valenti has noted on The Nation＇s website that potential triggers for trauma are so manifold as to be beyond the possibility of cataloguing:

“There is no triggers for warning for living your life.”

Some have suggested that a professor＇

s ability to teach would be compromised should it become commonplace for“The Great Gatsby”

to hear a trigger warning alerting readers to the disgusting characters and incidents within its pages.Others have worried that trigger-warning advocates,in seeking to protect the vulnerable,run the risk of d

isempowering them instead,

“Bending the world to accommodate our personal frailties does not help us overcome them”,Jenny Jarvie wrote on The New Republic＇s online site.

Jarvie＇

s piece,like many others on the subject,cited the University of California,Santa Barbara,as a campus where champions of trigger warnings have made significant progress.Earlier this year,students at U.C.S.B.agreed upon a resolution recommending that such warnings be issued in instances where classroom materials might touch upon

“rape,sexual assault,abuse,self-injurious behavior,suicide,and graphic violence”.The resolution was brought by a literature student who said that,as a past victim of sexual violence,she had been shocked when a teacher showed a movie in class which depicted rape,without giving advance notice of the content.The student hoped to spare others the possibility of experiencing a post-traumatic-stress reaction.

The trigger-warning debate may,by comparison,seem hard to understand;but express a large cultural preoccupation with achieving safety,and a fear of living in its absence.The hope that safety might be found,as in a therapist＇

s office,in a classroom where literature is being taught is in direct contradiction to one purpose of literature,which is to give expression through art to difficult and difficult and uncomfortable ideas,and thereby to enlarge safe space,nor,probably,should it be.But it＇

s difficult to fault those who hope that it might be,when the outside world constantly proves itself pervasively hostile,as well as,on occasion,horrifically violent.

21.Which of the following groups of people are most in favor of“trigger warning”?

A.Students B.Reporters C.Feminists D.Professors

22.Which of the following might be a possible change to be brought about by trigger warning to literature teaching?

A.Teachers will abandon materials related to racism,sexism,violence,etc.

B.Teachers will ignore students＇s requests for a“safe space”

in designing their syllabi.

C.Teachers will give students advance notice of the content that is likely to distress or offend them.

D.Teachers will allow students to express different and uncomfortable ideas to enlarge their experience.

23.What does the author mean by“compromised”in PARAGRAPH 3?

A.Questioned B.Improved C.Challenged D.Weakened

24.What does“them”in PARAGRAPH 3 refer to?

A.Risks B.Frailties C.Traumas D.Possibilities

25.Which of the following can be the negative impact that trigger warning exerts on literature teaching according to the writer?

A.It may highlight the purpose of literature teaching.

B.It may expose students to the dark side of the world.

C.It may deprive students of their intellectual growth.

D.It may cause students to experience a post-traumatic-stress disorder.

请阅读passage 2,完成26～30小题。

Passage 2

The medical community owes economists a great deal.Amartya Sen won a Nobel Prize for Economic Sciences in 1998.He has spent his entire career promulgating ideas of justice and freedom,with health rarely out of his gaze.Joseph Stiglitz won a Noble in 2001.In 1998,when he was chief economist at the(then)notoriously regressive World Bank,he famously challenged the Washington Consensus.And Jeff Sachs,a controversial figure to some critics,can fairly lay claim to the enormous achievement of putting health at the center of the Millennium Development Goals.His“Commission on Macroeconomics and Health”

was a landmark report,providing explicit evidence to explain why attacking disease was sbsolutely necessary if poverty was to be eradicated.And I must offer my own personal gratitude to a very special group of economists-Larry Summers,Dean Jamison,Kenneth Arrow,David Evans,and Special Gupta.They were the economic team that drove the work of Global Health 2035.

But although we might be kind to economists,perhaps we should be tougher on the discipline of economics textbook,and you will see the priority given to markets and efficiency,price and utility,profit and competition.These words have chilling effects on our quest for better health.They seem to marginalize those qualities of our lives that we value most of all–

not our self-interest,but out humanity;not the costs and benefits of monetary exchange,but vision and ideals that guide our decisions.It was these issues that were addressed at last week＇

s Global Health Lab,held at London School of Hygiene＆

Tropical Medicine.

Anne Mills,Vice-Director of the school,fervently argued the case in favor of economists.It was they who contributed to understanding the idea of“best-buys”

in global health.It was economists who challenged user fees.And it wa

s economists who made the connection between health and economic growth,providing one of the most compelling political arguments for taking health seriously.Some economists might adore markets,but not health economists,she said.“Health care is different.”

For her kind of economist,a health system is a

“social institution that embodies that embodies the values of society”.

Although competition has a part to play in health,it should be used judiciously as a mechanism to improve the quality of care.Chris Whitty,Chief Scientific Adviser at the UK＇

s Department for International Developments,expressed his contempt for those who profess indifference to economics.Economic is about the efficient allocation of scarce resources.Anyone who backed the inefficient allocation of resources is

“immoral”.He did criticize economists for their arrogance,though.Economists seemed to believe their ideas should be accepted simply because of the authority they held as economists.Economics,he said,is only one science among many that policy markers have to take into account.But Clare Chandler.A medical anthropologist,took a different view.She asked,what has neoliberal economics ever done for global health?Her answer,in one word,was

“inequality”,Neoliberal economics frames the way we think and act.Her argument suggested that any economic philosophy that put a premium on free trade,privatization,minimal government,and reduced public spending on social and health sectors is a philosophy bereft of human virtue.The discussion that followed,led by Martin Mckee,posed difficult questions.Why do economists treat their theories like religions？

Why are economists so silent on their own failures？

Can economics ever be apolitical？

There were few satisfactory answers to these questions.

26.Which of the following best describes the author＇

s attitude toward economists?

A.Contempt B.Reservation C.Detachment D.Endorsement

27.Who holds a critical view on economists role in medical field according to the passage?

A.Amartya Sen.B.Jeff Sachs http://rry Summers D.Clare Chandler

28.Which of the following is closest in meaning to“discipline”in PARAGRPH 2?

A.Subject B.Lesson C.Punishment D.Regulation

29.Which of the following is NOT used in the author＇

s presentation of his ideas?

A.Thesis statement B.Rhetorical questions

C.Specific examples D.Direct quotation

30.What does the author intend to tell the reader?

A.There is still a long way to go for economists to genuinely contribute to global health.

B.Economists＇role in global health is,to a large extent,negative.

C.Economists increased the inequality of resource allocations in global health.

D.Economics is only one science among many that policy makers have to take into account in providing health care programs.

二、简答题（本大题1小题，20分）

根据题目要求完成下列任务，用中文作答。

31.课堂提问的作用是什么？（8分）封闭性问题与开放性问题各自有什么特点？（12分）

31.【答案】（一）课堂提问的作用（8分，每点2分）

（1）引起学生的注意，学生注意力不集中时，教师进行提问，往往可以唤回学生的注意力，让学生重新回归课堂教学。

（2）巩固课堂教学。教师在课堂教学中以一组问题前后相连的形式，不断启发、追问、质疑、概括、小结，那么学生就会比较全面、系统、牢固地掌握知识和技能。

（3）获取反馈信息。学生在答问时反映出的思维受阻、歧义、谬误、遗漏等一些现象，较之凭借作业、测试等方式，能更及时、更清晰地展现在教师的面前，让教师能及时通过提示、点拨、启发，或者反问、加问、追问，甚至调整策略，改换话题，另辟蹊径，达到合理引导学生思维的目的。

（4）加强师生之间沟通与交流。教师提问，同学讨论，学生回答，是一种交流。课堂提问不仅可以提高学生的表达能力，培养他们的团队精神，更可以促师生感情融洽，从而更好地推动教学。

（二）封闭性问题和开放性问题的特点（12分）

A.封闭性问题特点：（6分，每点2分）

（1）从问题答案的角度：封闭性问题有固定答案，且答案唯一。

(2)从锻炼学生能力的角度：强化巩固课堂所学，记忆必须死记硬背的知识。

（3）从课堂教学的角度：提高课堂提问的有效性方面发挥了重要作用。

B.开放性问题特点：（6分，每点2分）

（1）从问题的答案来看：答案不是唯一的，是多种多样的。

（2）从锻炼学生能力的角度：培养学生的发散思维，促进学生创新能力的提高。

（3）从课堂教学的角度：创设一个比较宽松、自由的问题情境，学生充分发挥自己的聪明才智，通过不同角度的探索，自己去获取新知识，巩固原有的知识。

三、教学情境分析题（本大题1小题，30分）

根据题目要求完成下列任务，用中文作答。

32.下面是某教授的课堂教学片断：

T: Now,let＇s make our own wishes with“if only”.But please don＇t forget to give a description,even though it＇

s very brief,of situation,the context,where you make the wish with one or two sentences how about Liz?

Liz:Now it＇s So＇

clock,and there is a traffic jam on the express way.The hotel will cancel our room at 6 0＇clock if we do nor get to the hotel.Then,I＇ll say:oh,I wish if only I didn＇t go on the journey.

T:Listen,Liz.You see,once you use“I wish”,you don＇t need to use“if only”,Just use either one.

Liz:Yes.

T;So will you try again?Just the wish.

Liz;If only I didn＇t go on the journey.

T;To make it better,you can say“if only hadn＇

t gone on this journey”,because you are already on the way.Go on,please.

请根据所给材料，分析该教师的教学目的和教学过程，评价其教学行为和反馈方式。

32.【答案】（一）分析教学目的和教学过程

（1）教学目的：（9分）

知识目标：学生掌握由“If only”引导的虚拟语气的用法。

技能目标：提高学生的英语造句能力，、语法运用以及英语表达能力。

情感目标：学生可以正确认识自己的错误并且改正错误，养成良好的意志品质。

（2）教学过程：（5分）

该教学情境属于语法教学中的环节。教师采用让学生创设语境进行造句的方法对所学的If only引导的虚拟语气的用法进行巩固。教学过程中师生对话，既学习了语法又锻炼了口语表达能力。

（二）评价教学行为和反馈方式（16分）

优：（1）及时评价，帮助学生纠正语法错误。做到语法训练的准确性。（2）语法巩固练习设置要求学生结合具体语境造句，可以锻炼学生在自己所创设的语境中应用英语，锻炼了综合语言运用能力。（3）教学素材的使用贴近学生生活，如：make our own wishes就可以让学生有话可说，体现了英语教学的实践性，真正体现了素质教学的理念。（4）该教学片断属于语法教学中的巩固环节，因此，体现了语言教学的渐进性、持续性。

缺：（1）语法巩固练习形式略显单一枯燥，该教师仅采用了让学生造句的练习方法。（2）反馈过程缺少对学生的鼓励，会打击学生学习的积极性。学生回答问题之后，没有鼓励学生，而是直接“Listen,Liz.You see,once you use ”(3)反馈的方式过于直接，可以采用引导的方式，让学生自己发现自己的语法错误并进行改正，达到印象深刻的目的。该教师在教学过程中总是直接指出学生的错误。（4）教师没有充分预料到学生的出错点，做到提前纠错。如在让学生造句之前，应该区别if only和wish在虚拟语气句子中的用法。这样在学生造句过程中就不会出现Liz的问题了。

四、教学设计题（本大题1小题，40分）

33.设计任务：请阅读下面学生信息和语言素材，设计一节语言读写课教学方案。教案没有固定格式，但须包含下列要点：
