I still remember the day like it was yesterday.My friend Juan and I were sitting in our class library talking about something in Spanish.Suddenly,our teacher Ms Conchita stopped us.She said,“Isidro,you are going to be on the other side from today.”
What is this “other side” you say Well,at the time,it was how our school divided the ESL (English as a Second Language) learners.At different times throughout the day,our classroom was divided.On one side,continuous instruction in English;on the other,instruction in Spanish.
As I got up and walked to the other side,I could see everyone on the English-speaking side look at me with surprise and confusion.Sure,I knew many of them as they were part of my class,but I felt a bit uncomfortable.I never truly spent time talking with these classmates as English was something I was not comfortable with.
I took a seat next to a boy named Jonathan,and did my best to pay attention.Even though I was nervous,I still felt accomplished (熟练的).For three years,I had been part of the ESL programme.I spoke nothing but Spanish and made Spanish-speaking friends only.I finally made the jump to “normal” instruction.
As I started to immerse (沉浸在) myself in the language,slowly but surely my English began to improve.I could always speak in that language.I started to make more English-speaking friends.Furthermore,I started to understand the things I was really into.
Today,when parents of EAL (English as an Additional Language) students ask me how their children can get better at English,I look back at how I learnt English well.Then I give them my advice.
【语篇导读】 本文是记叙文。作者讲述了自己用沉浸式方法学好英语的经历。
(　　)1.Why did the teacher stop the author and his friend Juan
[A] Because they were talking too loudly.
[B] Because she didn’t want the students to talk.
[C] Because she had something to tell his friend.
[D] Because the author needed to be with some others.
【答案】 D
【解析】 细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句可知,老师叫停作者和他的朋友讲话是因为作者需要去跟另外一组同学坐在一起。 故选D。
(　　)2.What prevented the author from talking with his classmates on the other side
[A] Not being good at English.
[B] Not being popular with others.
[C] Being busy with his schoolwork.
[D] Being afraid to make new friends.
【答案】 A
【解析】 细节理解题。根据第三段最后一句可知,作者的英语不太好,这使得他从未花时间跟那些讲英语的同学交谈。 故选A。
(　　)3.How did the author feel when he joined those classmates
[A] Scared and angry.
[B] Nervous but good.
[C] Proud and confident.
[D] Surprised but disappointed.
【答案】 B
【解析】 推理判断题。根据第四段的第二至第五句可知,加入另外一组时,尽管作者感到紧张,但是他认为自己终于跳转到“正常”了,由此可推知,作者亦感觉很好。 故选B。
(　　)4.What did the author probably advise those parents to do
[A] To learn English well themselves first.
[B] To ask their children’s teachers for help.
[C] To encourage their children to study harder.
[D] To provide an English-speaking environment.
【答案】 D
【解析】 推理判断题。根据倒数第二段内容以及最后一段中的“I look back at...my advice.”可推知,作者很可能建议那些父母给孩子提供一个说英语的环境。 故选D。Unit 2　课时作业(三)

Artificial Intelligence (人工智能) has been around for many years.Now robots are using AI to help us learn and improve some skills in a foreign language.This is not new—some of the online language tools we turn to every day are powered by AI.
But as new technologies flood into the market,it is a great time to make use of the tech now.And according to experts,these tools are making teachers’ lives easier.One of the things that stops some of us from practising speaking in a new language is a lack of self-confidence.AI can help,because for some people,when they communicate with chatbots (聊天机器人),they don’t need to be afraid of failure or shyness.
The latest chatbots use something called natural language processing that allows them to understand human speech or writing.While chatbots are extremely useful for learners working alone,teachers can also ask an AI system to produce personalised textbooks for groups of students.AI can also provide feedback (反馈) in seconds — the days of waiting a week for work to be graded are gone.
Past online language tools and games were able to tell you when you were wrong,but they weren’t always able to explain why.Now,not only has that changed,but the explanations are detailed and immediate.But this is not to underestimate the role of the teacher,who can use the technology to help learn more about the strengths and weaknesses of their students and personalise their teaching.
So,if you want to impress your friends with your perfect speech,don’t be afraid of AI.Just think of it as a useful tool for both teachers and language learners,which will give you more time and space to enjoy learning something new!
【语篇导读】 本文是说明文。文章主要讲的是人工智能在语言学习中带给人们的好处。
(　　)1.Why might someone prefer communicating with chatbots
[A] Because they can produce textbooks.
[B] Because they are more knowledgeable.
[C] Because there is no need to worry too much.
[D] Because they are more professional than humans.
(　　)2.What can we learn about the latest chatbots from Paragraph 3
[A] It can ensure students to get high grades.
[B] It meets personalised students’ needs.
[C] It reduces the cost of education.
[D] It can make detailed lesson plans.
(　　)3.What does the underlined word “underestimate” mean in Paragraph 4
[A] Undervalue. [B] Understand.
[C] Establish. [D] Revive.
(　　)4.What does the passage mainly talk about
[A] The history of online language tools.
[B] The challenges that AI-robots bring to us.
[C] The advantages of AI in language learning.
[D] The role of teachers in the modern classroom.Unit 2　课时作业(四)

One possible version:
Dear Cathy,
Knowing that the English Association is collecting good ways to learn English,I’m glad to give my recommendation.
As far as I’m concerned,using mind maps is an effective way for learning English.It helps me connect words and expressions of a certain topic.Besides,I used to draw mind maps to learn and review grammar points,which does work.What’s more,when reading a passage,a mind map can help me organise information clearly.
I do hope my recommendation can be of some help.
Yours sincerely,

As is known to all,“I am sorry.” is the phrase we hear most in daily communication in Britain.What does it mean Does it always mean you apologise (道歉) for what you have done wrong Let us review a scene happening in a British street one day.
A young man walked down a road playing with his smart phone when a lady came over in his opposite direction.The man failed to give his way to the lady in time.As a result,he bumped (碰撞) into the lady.As a rule in China,the man must say “I am sorry” first,because he was so busy playing with his smart phone that he got in the way of the lady.However,both the persons apologised to each other by saying “I am sorry.” Why is this the case As a matter of fact,the phrase “I am sorry.” takes on another meaning in Britain.Anyone should speak to the other this way if either of them creates inconvenience (不便).The apology is just a way to avoid unnecessary fights between them.
Another cultural difference about “I am sorry.” can also be found at British restaurants.Supposing an old woman says to a waiter in a pub (酒馆),“I am sorry,but can I order another drink ” This time you must realise it doesn’t mean she apologises to the waiter for what she has done wrong,but that it means she really needs the waiter to do something for her.

Ⅲ.阅读理解(共4题;每题2.5分,共10分)
As is known to all,“I am sorry.” is the phrase we hear most in daily communication in Britain.What does it mean Does it always mean you apologise (道歉) for what you have done wrong Let us review a scene happening in a British street one day.
A young man walked down a road playing with his smart phone when a lady came over in his opposite direction.The man failed to give his way to the lady in time.As a result,he bumped (碰撞) into the lady.As a rule in China,the man must say “I am sorry” first,because he was so busy playing with his smart phone that he got in the way of the lady.However,both the persons apologised to each other by saying “I am sorry.” Why is this the case As a matter of fact,the phrase “I am sorry.” takes on another meaning in Britain.Anyone should speak to the other this way if either of them creates inconvenience (不便).The apology is just a way to avoid unnecessary fights between them.
Another cultural difference about “I am sorry.” can also be found at British restaurants.Supposing an old woman says to a waiter in a pub (酒馆),“I am sorry,but can I order another drink ” This time you must realise it doesn’t mean she apologises to the waiter for what she has done wrong,but that it means she really needs the waiter to do something for her.

Ⅳ.阅读理解(共4题;每题2.5分,共10分)
I still remember the day like it was yesterday.My friend Juan and I were sitting in our class library talking about something in Spanish.Suddenly,our teacher Ms Conchita stopped us.She said,“Isidro,you are going to be on the other side from today.”
What is this “other side” you say Well,at the time,it was how our school divided the ESL (English as a Second Language) learners.At different times throughout the day,our classroom was divided.On one side,continuous instruction in English;on the other,instruction in Spanish.
As I got up and walked to the other side,I could see everyone on the English-speaking side look at me with surprise and confusion.Sure,I knew many of them as they were part of my class,but I felt a bit uncomfortable.I never truly spent time talking with these classmates as English was something I was not comfortable with.
I took a seat next to a boy named Jonathan,and did my best to pay attention.Even though I was nervous,I still felt accomplished (熟练的).For three years,I had been part of the ESL programme.I spoke nothing but Spanish and made Spanish-speaking friends only.I finally made the jump to “normal” instruction.
As I started to immerse (沉浸在) myself in the language,slowly but surely my English began to improve.I could always speak in that language.I started to make more English-speaking friends.Furthermore,I started to understand the things I was really into.
Today,when parents of EAL (English as an Additional Language) students ask me how their children can get better at English,I look back at how I learnt English well.Then I give them my advice.

Ⅳ.阅读理解(共4题;每题2.5分,共10分)
Artificial Intelligence (人工智能) has been around for many years.Now robots are using AI to help us learn and improve some skills in a foreign language.This is not new—some of the online language tools we turn to every day are powered by AI.
But as new technologies flood into the market,it is a great time to make use of the tech now.And according to experts,these tools are making teachers’ lives easier.One of the things that stops some of us from practising speaking in a new language is a lack of self-confidence.AI can help,because for some people,when they communicate with chatbots (聊天机器人),they don’t need to be afraid of failure or shyness.
The latest chatbots use something called natural language processing that allows them to understand human speech or writing.While chatbots are extremely useful for learners working alone,teachers can also ask an AI system to produce personalised textbooks for groups of students.AI can also provide feedback (反馈) in seconds — the days of waiting a week for work to be graded are gone.
Past online language tools and games were able to tell you when you were wrong,but they weren’t always able to explain why.Now,not only has that changed,but the explanations are detailed and immediate.But this is not to underestimate the role of the teacher,who can use the technology to help learn more about the strengths and weaknesses of their students and personalise their teaching.
So,if you want to impress your friends with your perfect speech,don’t be afraid of AI.Just think of it as a useful tool for both teachers and language learners,which will give you more time and space to enjoy learning something new!
【语篇导读】 本文是说明文。文章主要讲的是人工智能在语言学习中带给人们的好处。
(　　)1.Why might someone prefer communicating with chatbots
[A] Because they can produce textbooks.
[B] Because they are more knowledgeable.
[C] Because there is no need to worry too much.
[D] Because they are more professional than humans.
【答案】 C
【解析】 推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句可知,和机器人交流不需要害怕失败和害羞,由此推出,有些人更喜欢和聊天机器人交流是因为他们不需要担心太多。故选C。
(　　)2.What can we learn about the latest chatbots from Paragraph 3
[A] It can ensure students to get high grades.
[B] It meets personalised students’ needs.
[C] It reduces the cost of education.
[D] It can make detailed lesson plans.
【答案】 B
【解析】 推理判断题。根据第三段中的“While chatbots are extremely useful...personalised textbooks for groups of students.”可知,教师利用人工智能系统为学生制作个性化的教科书,由此可推测出,人工智能系统可以满足学生的个性化需求。故选B。
(　　)3.What does the underlined word “underestimate” mean in Paragraph 4
[A] Undervalue. [B] Understand.
[C] Establish. [D] Revive.
【答案】 A
【解析】 猜测词义题。根据画线词后的“the role of the teacher...and personalise their teaching”可知,老师可以利用AI技术了解学生的优缺点,并调整个性化的教学方案,由此可推测出,虽然人工智能功能强大,但老师的角色是不能被低估的,画线词underestimate的意思是“低估”,和undervalue意思相近。故选A。
(　　)4.What does the passage mainly talk about
[A] The history of online language tools.
[B] The challenges that AI-robots bring to us.
[C] The advantages of AI in language learning.
[D] The role of teachers in the modern classroom.
【答案】 C
【解析】 主旨大意题。通读全文,尤其是第一段中的“Now robots are using AI...we turn to every day are powered by AI.”和最后一段最后一句可知,本文主要讲述人工智能在语言学习中带给人们的好处,因此C项符合本文的主题。故选C。
