交谈时双方的空间距离也有一定讲究。和朋友谈话、和陌生人谈话、和异性谈话、招呼长者和上级,都需要有一个合适的距离。如果上级故意“缩减”与下级人员通常谈话时的距离,那是表示对下级的关切。说话的时候需要一面想,一面说,为了控制说话的主动权,免得被别人插人、打断,人们可以使用“唔”“啊”之类的音节,表示“话还没有说完,你别着急”之类的意思。空白也表示意思,在说唱艺术中,什么时候停顿,停多久,都有讲究,以便使交际更有成效。这就是说,空间和时间的因素也在交际中得到了适当的运用。所以,各种伴随动作也是交际的工具。它们一般都是在语言的基础上产生的。即使像“察颜观色”这一类特定的交际方式,也必须有语言的交际为基础,预先有了一定的了解,对方才能领会。总之,在上述的种种交际工具当中,身势等伴随动作是非语言的交际工具;旗语之类是建立在语言、文字基础之上的辅助性交际工具;文字是建立在语言基础之上的一种最重要的辅助交际工具;
一、教材1、新教材对高中语文阅读教学的要求高中语文新大纲中明确规定,高中语文教学要让学生“掌握语文学习的基本方法,养成自学语文的习惯”,“为继续学习和终身发展打好基础”,提出了“以阅读教学为龙头带动整个语文教育是一个标本兼治的通途”,以多种渠道培养良好的阅读习惯,以阅读带动听说写能力的全面提高。2、教材分析这篇文章是从美国著名的心理学家、社会学家弗罗姆《爱的艺术》中节选出来的,《爱的艺术》这本书阐释了爱并不是一种与人的成熟程度无关的感情,而是一个能力的问题,是一门通过训练自己的纪律、集中和耐心学到手的一门艺术。在这篇文章中,他从儿童成长的过程的角度阐述了父母之爱与孩童情感与心智成熟的关系,从心理学的角度阐述了爱作为一种改变社会的力量的心理基础。全文10个小节,阐述了一个婴儿成长为一个“成熟的人”其心理结构逐步变化的过程,并在最后指出,真正成熟的人应该能够综合母爱与父爱,唯其如此,才能够使自己真正成为一个健康而成熟的灵魂。
乾隆五十五年(公元1790年),在安徽一带很有名气的“三庆”徽戏班,来到北京演出。徽戏在北京经常和其他剧种同台演出,注意吸收和借鉴他们的长处。尤其是与以唱二黄调和西皮调为主的汉戏的合演,逐渐形成了二黄与西皮的合流,形成了“徽汉合流”的局面,后来徽剧又吸收其他民间曲调的唱腔、剧目和表演方式,逐渐形成以“皮黄”为主要声腔的京剧。到1840年左右,京剧的唱腔、念白、剧本和表演已经成熟,尤其是出现了以演“京戏”为主的一批演员,他们不再以徽戏、汉戏为名,而以演“京戏”自居。从此,诞生了一个独立的剧种──京剧。2、京剧的发展早期的京剧以迷人的唱腔、丰富的剧目、精彩的表演和京腔京味吸引了观众,使京城出现了京剧热。同治、光绪年间,京剧已经被京城市民承认,成为人们最喜爱的舞台艺术。并涌现出著名的“同光十三绝”。
4、维新思想推动下的变法运动虽然失败了。但这是中国近代真正意义上的一次思想解放潮流,为什么?展开:维新派提倡西学,兴民权,对封建专制制度和传统观念进行了冲击,促进了中国人民的觉醒,为资产阶级民主思想的传播奠定了基础,具有思想解放的启蒙作用。是一次救亡图存的爱国运动,也是一次发展资本主义的改革运动;他们提倡资产阶级新学,批判封建主义旧学,引导人们重新认识世界,他们痛感民族危机的严重,号召人们奋起救国,谋求国家的独立富强;给古老的中国社会注入的活力是不可低估的,站在历史长河的高度看,由传统农耕社会向近代工业社会转变是一股不可抗拒的历史潮流,尽管它在19世纪末的中国遭到了暂时挫折,但对清朝的封建专制统治却是一次巨大的强烈的冲击波,它留下的痕迹是永不磨灭的,是永远鼓舞与启迪后人的。
思考:1)材料1、2反映了一个什么样的严重问题?(饥饿和粮食问题)2)材料3中,中国农民为什么那样说?(邓小平在全国实行的以家庭联产承包责任制为主要形式的责任制调动了农民生产的积极性,解放了农村生产力,推动了农业的发展;袁隆平的杂交水稻提高了水稻产量,增加了农民的收入,解决了农民的吃饭问题)3)据以上材料指出,袁隆平研究的交水稻有何重大意义?(杂交稻不仅解决了中国人的吃饭问题;而且其在世界范围的推广,也有助于解决世界性的饥饿问题)四、计算机技术与生物技术的发展1、20世纪50年代,我国开始了计算机的研制工作;2、1983年,我国成功研制出巨型计算机“银河-Ⅰ号”,加速了国家信息化的发展;3、1965年,中国首次人工合成结晶牛胰岛素(在世界上第一次用人工方法合成出具有生物活性的蛋白质——结晶牛胰岛素) 。4、积极参与人类基因的研究(唯一的发展中国家)。

And after finishing listening for the first time, the students need to solve the following tasks.
The themes of this part are “Talk about how to become an astronaut” and “Talk about life in space”. As Neil Armstrong said “Mystery creates wonder and wonder is the basis of man’s desire to understand. Space is difficult for human to reach, therefore, humans are full of wonders about it. However, if wanting to achieve the dream of reaching the Moon, some of our human should work hard to be an astronaut at first. Part A(Talk about how to become an astronaut) is a radio interview in a radio studio, where the host asked the Chinese astronauts about his story how to become an astronaut. Yang Liwei told his dreamed to be an astronaut since childhood. Then he worked hard to get into college at 22. The next 10 years, he gradually became an experienced pilot. At the same time, to be an astronaut, he had to study hard English, science and astronomy and trained hard to keep in good physical and mental health and to practise using space equipment. Part B (Talk about life in space) is also an interview with the astronaut Brown, who is back on the earth. The host Max asked about his space life, such as his emotion about going back the earth, the eating, shower, brushing, hobbies and his work. Part A and Part B are interviews.

⑦在我看来, 探索太空是值得的。As far as I am concerned, it is worthwhile to explore the space.Step 10 Writing---draftRecently, students in our class have had heated a discussion on whether space is worth exploring. Students hold different ideas about it.30% of us think space exploration is not worthwhile. They think space is too far away from us and our daily life and is a waste of money. And the money spent on space exploration can be used to solve the earth’s problems such as starvation and pollution.On the other hand,70% think space is worth exploring because we have benefited a lot from it,such as using satellites for communication and weather forecast. What’s more,with further space research,we may solve the population problem by moving to other planets one day. Also,space research will enable us to find new sources to solve the problem of energy shortages on the earth.As far as I am concerned, it is worthwhile to explore the space. Not only can it promote the development of society but also enrich our life. Step 11 Pair workExchange drafts with a partner. Use this checklist to help your partner revise his/her draft.1.Does the writer explain why he/she changed/wanted to change?2.Does the writer tell how the changes have improved or will improve his/her life?3.Is the text well-organised?4.Does the writer use words and expressions to show similarities and differences?5.Are there any grammar or spelling errors?6.Does the writer use correct punctuation?
另一方面,其余的人反对这个计划,因为它可能会导致一些不好的影响。7.I hold the belief that space exploration not only enable us to understand how the universe began but also help us survived well into the future.我坚信探索太空不仅能够使我们了解宇宙的起源而且能够帮助我们更好地走进未来。8.I think we should spend more time and money exploring space so as to provide new and better solutions to people's shortterm and longterm problems.为了给人类的短期和长期问题提供更新和更好的解决方法,我认为我们应该花更多的时间和金钱来探索太空。9.From my point of view,it is wrong of young people to depend on their telephones too much,which may do harm to both their physical and mental health.在我看来,年轻人过度依赖手机是不对的,因为它们可能会对他们的身心健康都有害。最近你班同学就“人类是否应该进行宇宙探索”这个问题进行了激烈的讨论。有人认为,探索宇宙不仅让人类更好地了解宇宙的发展,还可以用来指导农业生产,以及把一些探索太空的高新技术用于现实生活;也有一些人认为探索太空花掉了大量的人力物力;影响了人们的生活水平。请你根据以下情况写一篇报告并发表自己的观点。注意:1.写作内容应包括以上全部要点,可适当发挥,使上下文连贯;
