湖南省益阳市高平教育集团2024-2025学年九年级上学期开学英语试题
It was a February afternoon. We were in a classroom. Taylor Angler watched some ducks swimming on a farm. But it was all in her head. A virtual reality headset (虚拟现实头戴式显示设备) took her there. "I was surprised to find that the ducks were right in front of me! It was an exciting experience (经历)." Taylor said after taking off the purple headset and finding herself still in the classroom. Many students around the world are taking VR "trips" like Taylor. But what change does it cause in learning?
Taking children to visit different places is a good way to teach them about the world. But what can children do if they forget it after the trip? VR lets children go back at any time.
It's difficult to talk about something if you didn't see it with your own eyes in the past. If you didn't see the ocean, with VR, now you can have a look at it for yourself.
VR can also help students in science classes at school. "Too often at school, when you do experiments (实验), you put different kinds of chemicals together and then get the result. And if you aren't successful, you need to do it again, " a high school teacher said. "But we don't have enough chemicals. With VR, I just need to do it again on the computer. I don't have to use chemicals."
VR is useful, but that's not to say we don't need real-world experiences. The real world is what we really need to learn about.

Five Tips for Learning Language
Although learning a foreign language can be difficult, the following tips will increase your ability to succeed in language learning.
{#blank#}1{#/blank#}
Accept the fact that you will not understand everything. Not understanding and making
mistakes are a very natural part of the language learning process. In fact, at the very beginning, you will not understand much at all. Don't expect too much.
{#blank#}2{#/blank#}
Research shows that language students learn better when they study more often. And they also learn better for shorter periods of time. Try to study each day, and whenever possible, several times a day.
{#blank#}3{#/blank#}
The process of using language from your mind to your mouth is a skill that requires a great deal of practice. So say vocabulary words out loud, read passages in the text aloud, do pronunciation activities aloud and not just silently.
{#blank#}4{#/blank#}
Work together on homework assignments(任务), to learn vocabulary, to study for tests, or just to practice speaking the language. Communication does not only happen between the teacher and students, but more among you and your classmates.
{#blank#}5{#/blank#}
There is no" best" way to learn a language, because everyone learns a bit differently. Find your own personal advantages and let them help you in your learning process. It is more important for you to learn to think in the language than to know the meaning of every word.
A. Set possible expectations. B. Work with study groups. C. Practice language actively. D. Divide study time into smaller parts. E. Be patient to work with classmates. F. Find your own way in language learning. |
