1.对称性与首末两端“等距离”的两个二项式系数相等,即C_n^m=C_n^(n"-" m).2.增减性与最大值 当k(n+1)/2时,C_n^k随k的增加而减小.当n是偶数时,中间的一项C_n^(n/2)取得最大值;当n是奇数时,中间的两项C_n^((n"-" 1)/2) 与C_n^((n+1)/2)相等,且同时取得最大值.探究2.已知(1+x)^n =C_n^0+C_n^1 x+...〖+C〗_n^k x^k+...+C_n^n x^n 3.各二项式系数的和C_n^0+C_n^1+C_n^2+…+C_n^n=2n.令x=1 得(1+1)^n=C_n^0+C_n^1 +...+C_n^n=2^n所以,(a+b)^n 的展开式的各二项式系数之和为2^n1. 在(a+b)8的展开式中,二项式系数最大的项为 ,在(a+b)9的展开式中,二项式系数最大的项为 . 解析:因为(a+b)8的展开式中有9项,所以中间一项的二项式系数最大,该项为C_8^4a4b4=70a4b4.因为(a+b)9的展开式中有10项,所以中间两项的二项式系数最大,这两项分别为C_9^4a5b4=126a5b4,C_9^5a4b5=126a4b5.答案:1.70a4b4 126a5b4与126a4b5 2. A=C_n^0+C_n^2+C_n^4+…与B=C_n^1+C_n^3+C_n^5+…的大小关系是( )A.A>B B.A=B C.A<B D.不确定 解析:∵(1+1)n=C_n^0+C_n^1+C_n^2+…+C_n^n=2n,(1-1)n=C_n^0-C_n^1+C_n^2-…+(-1)nC_n^n=0,∴C_n^0+C_n^2+C_n^4+…=C_n^1+C_n^3+C_n^5+…=2n-1,即A=B.答案:B

当A,C颜色相同时,先染P有4种方法,再染A,C有3种方法,然后染B有2种方法,最后染D也有2种方法.根据分步乘法计数原理知,共有4×3×2×2=48(种)方法;当A,C颜色不相同时,先染P有4种方法,再染A有3种方法,然后染C有2种方法,最后染B,D都有1种方法.根据分步乘法计数原理知,共有4×3×2×1×1=24(种)方法.综上,共有48+24=72(种)方法.故选B.答案:B5.某艺术小组有9人,每人至少会钢琴和小号中的一种乐器,其中7人会钢琴,3人会小号,从中选出会钢琴与会小号的各1人,有多少种不同的选法?解:由题意可知,在艺术小组9人中,有且仅有1人既会钢琴又会小号(把该人记为甲),只会钢琴的有6人,只会小号的有2人.把从中选出会钢琴与会小号各1人的方法分为两类.第1类,甲入选,另1人只需从其他8人中任选1人,故这类选法共8种;第2类,甲不入选,则会钢琴的只能从6个只会钢琴的人中选出,有6种不同的选法,会小号的也只能从只会小号的2人中选出,有2种不同的选法,所以这类选法共有6×2=12(种).因此共有8+12=20(种)不同的选法.
The topic of this part is “Write about your festival experience”.During the Listening and Speaking and Talking, students are just asked to say out their festival experiences such as the Spring Festival, Mid-autumn Day, but this part students will be asked to write down their own festival experiences. During the reading part, it introduces the Naadam Festival in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, which can give students a good example to imitate. Students not only learn the festival, but touch and feel the Inner Mongolian’s character, the spirit and cultural atmosphere, which can help students form the cultural awareness and learn to enjoy and value the diversity of Chinese culture.Concretely, the dairy tells the experience that the author spent the Naadam Festival in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region with his/her friend. The structure is clear. In the opening paragraph, it introduces the topic of the Naadam Festival and the whole feeling. Then it introduces the items of the festival like the ceremony, wrestling and horse racing. Finally, it summarizes this experience. Because this part is a travel journal, we must guide students pay more attention to these details: 1. use the first person. 2. use the past tense to tell the past thing and use the present or future tense to describe the scenery. 3. use the timeline to tell the development. 4. be careful for the author’s psychology, emotion and feeling, etc.1. Read quickly to get main idea; read carefully to get the detailed information about Naadam Festival.2. Learn the structure of the reading article and language.3. Write an article about a festival experience4. Learn to use the psychology, emotions and feeling in the writing.1. Write an article about a festival experience.2. Use the structure of the reading article and language.
The topic of this part is “Discover the reasons for festivals and celebrations.The Listening & Speaking & Talking part aims at talking about the experiences and feelings or emotions about the festivals and celebrations. This section aims at detecting the reason why the people celebrate the festivals, the time, the places, the types and the way of celebrations. It also explains why some traditions in the old celebrations are disappearing, like the firecrackers in the big cities and some new things are appearing like the prosperity of business or commerce. 1. Students can talk about what festivals they know and the reasons and the way of celebrating them.2. Students should learn the reading skills such as the headline and get the topic sentences, the structures of articles.3.
