教学反思：
  本次课上进行了观看视频完成听力部分的内容，节选自《老友记》的经典片段,但大部分同学从未观看过,加上语速过快,10个空仅听对了2,3个.听力部分一直是大家的老大难,包括在四级辅导时也是如此.原因主要在于词汇量不够,以及语音爆破和连读时,学生们反应不过来.
  解决办法：多听多练,在听的过程中积累更多词汇.

C.Error Correction
Along the way of DIY, I’ve made a lot of blunders, but they are only a small price to pay for the fun and fulfillment I have experienced. From my own DIY experiences and from researching the lives of other DIYers, I’ve discovered two benefits from having the courage to screwing up:
The first one is that DIY means a deeper connection to the things which keeps us alive and well. Our daily survival depends on seemingly magical inventions that provide our food, water, clothing, transportation and so on. But you can make your world a little more mixed-up by sewing your own clothes, raising chickens, and doing other activities that put you in touch with the processes of life.
However, the things you make reflect your personality and have a special meaning. You share a connection with them every time you use them, and you appreciate them in a different way than you appreciate store-bought things. This is how gifts of hand-made preserves, blankets and furniture are so cherished.
The second benefit is that DIY is a path to freedom. A number of DIYers I’ve met have succeeded in turning their passion for making things from a hobby into a business. In this era of economical uncertainty, DIYers have learned not to rely as much for governments and corporations to take
care of them. They seek a more direct way to support themselves by becoming producers of high-quality, short-run products. Even you have no desire to become a full-time maker, DIY can provide a certain degree of freedom from depending on others.
. Reading in depth                                          (25mins)
Step 1:Make clear the meaning and part of speech of the words below
A. decorating    B. fusing    C. ditching D. resign
E. recession    F. amateur    G. plague        H. neglected
I. blunder    J. renovations    K. potential    L.trial
M.disastrous        N. obstacle    O. fabulous
Many people who are traditionally afraid of DIY are becoming enthusiastic about it. My husband and I are of no exception. Initially, we feared DIY like the 1. ________ and planned to invite experts to renovate our new house. But after we did the sums, we chose to do the 2. ____________ by ourselves. It is the 3. __________ that made us take up DIY; however, for many others, saving money is not the main factor and 4. ___________ their own house represents a different life-style and a 5. _________ success and adds value to their lives.
        DIY becomes increasingly popular nowadays, yet that doesn’t mean there is no 6. _________ to it. The doers often make errors or cause 7. _________ damages, and they need more learning and practice. Many people turn to specialist magazines, television programs or the Internet for help, taking advantage of the useful information and advice.
      There are some areas to avoid without training, for example gas and electrics, but some people tend to bite off more than they can chew and eventually 8. ________ into an extremely dangerous situation. One of the most 9. ___________ occasions is that a DIYer tried to install light fittings, but unfortunately he 10. __________ earthing them first, causing an electric shock eventually. Therefore, if you encounter any DIY task in these areas, never ever hesitate to turn to the professionals for help.

Interpreting
Alan and John are talking about the changes John has made in his house. Please interpret it into English with your partner.
艾伦：约翰，你对你们家房子的改造令我印象非常深刻。你花了多长时间来做这件事情呢？
约翰：我几年前开始对DIY产生兴趣。你知道我的儿子保罗是个残疾人，他坐在轮椅上，所以我必须改造房子。但是我又请不起工人，就只能自己学着来做了。
艾伦：你有这方面的经验吗？你有实际的操作技能吗？
约翰：没有。我从图书馆借了一些书，但是帮助不大。于是我决定去上夜校，从那儿我学到了基本的木工与电工知识。
艾伦：你对房子做了怎样的改造？
约翰：首先是一些对保罗非常实用的东西。你永远意识不到残疾人遇到的困难。举例来说，现在大多数房子门口都有几级台阶，这样残疾人就很难进，所以我改造了家里的那个部分。另外，我们还需要一个大房子，里面有宽敞的走道，这样保罗就可以方便地从一间房去另外一间房。
艾伦：你从哪里开始改造的？
约翰：电工方面。我给整个屋子重新布线，这样保罗就可以够到家里所有的开关了。
艾伦：你还做了些什么？
约翰：我刚刚改造完厨房。在我设计的厨房里保罗可以伸手拿到任何东西。我现在正在扩建房子，这样保罗在一楼会有一个大点的房间。从我为保罗做这一切开始，DIY就成了我的兴趣。我非常喜欢靠自己的双手来做这些事情。

iii:Word Meaning
Analyzing Denotative and Connotative
Meaning of Words(语义分析）
对文章中某个单词、短语或句子进行分析，推测其在文中的特定含义是阅读能力的重要组成部分。语义分析类题是四六级考试常考题型，它一般需要考生推断出该词的同义词或该短语（句）的引申意义或另一种表述方式。
语义题常见的提问方式有:
The word “…” in line… probably means…
Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the word “… ”(Line… ,Paragraph… )?
As used in the line… , the word “… ” refers to…
By saying “…”( ,Paragraph… ), the author means…
The term “…” in paragraph… can be best replaced by…
The author uses the phrase “…” to illustrate…
From the passage, we can infer that the word “…” is…
语义题解题的关键在于利用上下文语境来判断所考单词或短语在原文中的特定含义。做语义题时，首先应通过题干中的标志性词迅速锁定该词或短语所在的位置，
然后确定该单词的词性及单词或短语等在句中所起的语法作用，理解整个句子的含义，分析上下文，以确定上下文中是否有该词或短语的定义、同义词、近义词或反义词，从而判断出正确答案。
正确答案必须可以代入原文使原句通顺。
解答语义题时，可从以下五个方面着手：
1.充分利用被考词或短语的修饰或限定成分判断其含义。这种修饰、限定成分的表现形式多样，可以是定语、其他修饰语、特殊标点符号后面的内容，甚至是该词下属的例子及定义，可以通过这些表达从侧面理解被考单词或短语的含义。
2.通过所考单词或短语在原文中所在的句子和它前后句子间的逻辑关系判断该词或短语的含义。一般来说，and连接的内容在含义上是接近的或递进的，而or连接的内容在含义上往往相反，但有时or后面的内容也是对前面内容的进一步解释和说明。but前后是反义词，感情彩相反。其他表递进、转折、因果等关系的标志词均可用来帮助判断词义。
3.利用比较、对比结构和同位语结构。
比较和对比结构连接的双方类别相同，词义相反。
同位语结构中解释说明性语言可帮助寻线索。
4.利用动词短语的结尾介词、副词推断短语的含义。动词短语的含义通常由结尾的介词或副词决定。如，
以back结尾的词组常有“阻碍,限制”含义
以forward结尾的词组多有“进步,发展”的含义
5.根据上下文段落主旨作出判断，即通过题干中所考词或短语在原文中所在段落的主旨来比对选项，选出与段落主旨含义最接近的选项，这是因为段落主旨是整个段落的核心，因此整个段落中每一个句子都体现着段落主旨。
