The establishment of the Third Reich influenced events in American history by starting a chain of events which culminated in war between Germany and the United States．The complete destruction of democracy，the persecution of Jews，the war on religion，the cruelty and barbarism of the Nazis，and especially the plans of Germany and her allies，Italy and Japan，for world conquest caused great indignation in this country and brought on fear of another world war．While speaking out against Hitler’s atrocities，the American people generally favored isolationist policies and neutrality．The Neutrality Acts of 1935 and 1936 prohibited trade with any belligerents or loans to them．In 1937，the President was empowered to declare an arms embargo in wars between nations at his discretion．

American opinion began to change somewhat after President Roosevelt’s“quarantine the aggressor”speech at Chicago(1937)in which he severely criticized Hitler’s policies．Germany’s seizure of Austria and the Munich Pact for the partition of Czechoslovakia(1938)also aroused the American people．The conquest of Czechoslovakia in March，1939，was another rude awakening to the menace of the Third Reich．In August，1939，came the shock of the Nazi—Soviet Pact and in September the attack on Poland and the outbreak of European war．The United States attempted to maintain neutrality in spite of sympathy for the democracies arrayed against the Third Reich．The Neutrality Act of 1939 repealed the arms embargo and permitted“cash and carry”exports of arms to belligerent nations．A strong national defense program was begun．A draft act was passed(1940)to strengthen the military services．A Lend Act(1941)authorized the President to sell，exchange，or lend materials to any country deemed necessary by him for the defense of the United States．Help was given to Britain by exchanging certain overage destroyers for the right to establish American bases in British territory in the Western Hemisphere．In August,1940，President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill met and issued the Atlantic Charter，which proclaimed the kind of a world which should be established after the war．In December，1941，Japan launched the unprovoked attack on the United States at Pearl Harbor．Immediately thereafter,Germany declared war on the United States．

Everyone becomes a little more forgetful as they get older，but men’s minds decline more than women’s，according to the results of a worldwide survey．

Certain differences seem to be inherent in male and female brains：Men are better at maintaining and dealing with mental images(useful in mathematical reasoning and spatial skills)，while women tend to excel(擅長)at recalling information from their brain’s files(helpful with language skills and remembering the locations of objects)．

Many studies have looked for a connection between sex and the amount of mental decline(衰退) people experience as they age，but the results have been mixed．

Some studies found more age|related decline in men than in women，while others saw the opposite or even no relationship at all between sex and mental decline．Those results could be improper because the studies involved older people，and women live longer than men：The men tested are the survivors，“so they?re the ones that may not have shown such cognitive decline，”said study team leader Elizabeth of the University of Warwick in England．

People surveyed completed four tasks that tested sex|related cognitive skills：matching an object to its rotated form,matching hnes shown from the same angle，typing as many words in a particular category(范疇) as possible in the given time，e．g．“object usually colored gray”， and recalling the location of objects in a line drawing．The first two were tasks at which men usually excel；the latter were typically dominated by women．

Within each age group studied；men and women performed better in their separate categories on average．And though performance declined with age for both genders，women showed obviously less decline than men overall．

（  ）41．The underlined word in the second paragraph means      ．

A．natural B．great    C．obvious D．a(chǎn)bsolute

A．Men do better than women when it comes to learning English．

B．Women stand out at remembering people’s names．

C．Men excel at typing as many words in a particular category as possible in the given time.

D．Women excel at dealing mathematic problems.

（  ）44．One important factor that affects the correctness of the results is that       .

A．the old men tested may not have shown such cognitive decline

B．people surveyed are all old

C．people taking part in this test came from all over the world

D.women live longer than men

構(gòu)建英語教學(xué)與學(xué)生生活的橋梁

下面是浙江金老師自敘的一篇教學(xué)案例片段。  在英語教材中，有不少課文與學(xué)生生活世界關(guān)聯(lián)不大，這是學(xué)生對英語學(xué)習(xí)缺乏興趣的原因之一。但是只要教師多思考，勤探索，努力構(gòu)建英語教學(xué)連接學(xué)生生活世界的“渡口”和“橋梁”，把課文和生活有機(jī)的聯(lián)系起來，就會產(chǎn)生美妙的效果。

這是我一系列教學(xué)實踐中的一則個案。

課文的語言知識點教學(xué)結(jié)束了，學(xué)生們的臉上似乎都寫滿了倦意，底下輕輕的冒出了一句：“終于上完了。”

我聽到這句話，并沒有生氣，因為我知道英語課文中語言知識點的學(xué)習(xí)在一定程度上的確是枯燥而消耗精力的。我朝那位學(xué)生微微一笑，說道：“Well，students，I know you are by now tired out，but would you mind telling me，what social problems does the film show us?”這下學(xué)生都興奮起來了，因為語言知識點的學(xué)習(xí)在目前國內(nèi)英語教學(xué)中更多的是以spoonfeeding的形式出現(xiàn)的，在課堂上一旦有自主探索思考的機(jī)會，學(xué)生都會非常積極。只見他們倦意全消，一邊重新翻閱課文，一邊和身邊的同學(xué)小聲交流著，我知道對于這種開放式的題目，他們更多的是需要集體的智慧，于是我宣布：“Ok，my students，I?d like you now to discuss it in groups．”

我的話音剛落，教室里出現(xiàn)了一派熱烈討論的氣象。幾分鐘之后，討論的聲音漸漸地平息下來，于是我補(bǔ)充道：“Time for us to share the ideas．”果然在我的意料之中，學(xué)生們在討論和補(bǔ)充之后，得出了較完整的答案。其中包括：Sex Discrimination，Education Problem，Generation Problem．

在引導(dǎo)學(xué)生把答案歸類以后，我又乘勝追擊，“Since there　are so many problems between you and your parents，please list one conflict between your parent(s) and you．”觸及自己的生活，學(xué)生們的思緒立即觸發(fā)了。有一位學(xué)生不假思索地站起來說道：“I want to buy a computer，but my parents don’t agree．”這下教室里一下子炸開了鍋。

我見狀，立刻說：“I know，many of you have the same problem and you are smart，so give him some advice．”由于是生活類的問題，學(xué)生又有親身經(jīng)歷，于是就你一言，我一語，給了那位同學(xué)不少的建議，如：“You may sign a contract with your parents．If you make progress，they will have to buy one for you．”“I think you should first talk to your parents sincerely，and they will finally understand you．”“Why not make money by yourself?It?s really an effective way.”

下課鈴響了。我立即布置了本課另外一個和生活相關(guān)聯(lián)的任務(wù)：In groups，discuss How to Narrow the Generation Gap and write down your conclusion．見到學(xué)生們喜悅地離開課堂，我也感到非常欣慰。

結(jié)合以上案例，說說在教學(xué)中如何創(chuàng)設(shè)情景，使教學(xué)活動更具生活化?
