中国学生作弊现象严重的话题.ppt

Introductory Remarks: 中国学生作弊现象严重的话题，其实早期美国学生考试作弊现象严重，今天我们就一起来学习《大学英语精读》第二册 Unit 8 Honesty:Is It Going out of Style? 内容概要:有证据表明，美国学生考试作弊现象日趋严重，以至于有学校取消了传统的写学期论文方式或采取考生必须出示身份证等方式来制止作弊。作者因此产生疑虑：是诚实已变得不合时宜了吗?还是社会更善于揭露不诚实的行为了?还是别的原因?最后作者提出如果学生得到充分的信任，他们就不大可能作弊了。也许信任可以唤回诚实。 Background Information: 1)正式英语考试名称：托福考试 (Test of English as a Foreign Language, TOEFL)研究生考试 (Graduate Record Examination, GRE)商务英语证书(Business English Certificate, BEC)大学英语四级考试(College English Test Band 4, CET4)智力测验(an intelligence test)资质测验(an aptitude test)口试(an oral test)笔试(a written test) New Words and Expressions: 1.out of style与in styleout of style:unfashionable过时的，不时髦的 例： a.The skirt has gone out of style. 这种裙子已经变得不时髦了。 b.Honesty will never be out of style. 诚实决不会过时。  in style:in a grand way豪华地，体面地 例： a.The rich lady likes to give dinner parties in style. 那位阔太太喜欢举行排场的宴会。 b.The millionaire isn’t used to live in style. 这位百万富翁不习惯过豪华的 生活。 c.She dresses in style. 她穿着很时髦。 3. peek v. 偷窥 peek at look at, gaze at, stare at, glance at, gape at 她从窗帘后面窥视她的邻居。 She peeks at her neighbor from the curtain. get [take] a peek at 偷看一下 4. charge n. 1) blaming (sb. for committing sth. wrong) 控告，指控 bring a charge against someone 指控某人 be on a charge of 被指控犯有 她被指控犯有偷窃罪 She was arrested on a charge of stealing. 那个犯人被指控何罪名呢？ What is the charge against the prisoner? 2) price, money paid for service 价钱，费用 Your order will be delivered free of charge within a ten-mile limit. 3) electricity put into a battery 电荷；充电 ---Electron has a negative charge (负电荷). positive charge（正） in charge of = be responsible for 负责，主管 David 负责主管学校的篮球队。 David has been put in charge of the school basketball team. take charge (of) =be responsible for (sb. or sth.) 负责 John was elected the new president of the club and will take charge at the next meeting. vt. accuse, blame; ask sb. to pay; take in electricity 指控；索价；充电 ---William Lo
