發(fā)布時(shí)間:2017-06-20 22:59:08一、人際答題技巧人際答題技巧是經(jīng)過對歷年教師招聘面試真題的研究與分析總結(jié)出來的,對于廣大考生的作答具有一定的指導(dǎo)作用。下面為考生介紹人際答題的4個(gè)小技巧:1.梳理脈絡(luò):遇到問題要能夠梳理清事情脈絡(luò),找準(zhǔn)題目中設(shè)置的矛盾點(diǎn)。2.反思自我:反思自己在整個(gè)活動(dòng)中是否存在不恰當(dāng)?shù)胤剑槐匾`會(huì)。3.改正問題:當(dāng)找到問題的癥結(jié),對癥下藥,并主動(dòng)承認(rèn)錯(cuò)誤。二、技巧講解分析為了能夠讓考生更加深入地理解人際答題的技巧,并將之運(yùn)用于面試的作答中,將通過以下題目進(jìn)行詳細(xì)地講解與分析。對于這道題目而言,需要梳理的事情就是家長請我吃飯,而矛盾點(diǎn)就在于我是一名人民教師,而且教育部也曾下發(fā)了《嚴(yán)禁教師違規(guī)收受學(xué)生及家長禮品禮金等行為的規(guī)定》。所以,對此盛情邀請,教師需要有技巧性的婉拒對方,但是也要盡量照顧對方心情。因此,在考生作答邀請或請求類問題時(shí),不僅要能夠梳理清題目設(shè)置的脈絡(luò),同時(shí)也要找準(zhǔn)題目設(shè)置的矛盾點(diǎn),從而明確自己的作答方向和角度。解析:家長因?yàn)樗饺饲楦姓埼页燥垼诮虒W(xué)活動(dòng)中可能會(huì)經(jīng)常遇到這種情況。對于類似情況的處理我會(huì)采取不傷害家長自尊心的基礎(chǔ)上婉拒對方。解析:家長要請我吃飯,可能是學(xué)生的成績比較好,家長出于對老師的感謝,希望能請老師吃頓飯;可能是教師在日常的工作過程中的方式方法不當(dāng),而引起家長對我的誤會(huì);還可能是家長希望老師對孩子格外照顧等。解析:如果是家長希望老師對孩子格外照顧,為了給孩子 開小灶 而請客的。這時(shí)要跟家長好好溝通,向家長表明作為一名教師,我會(huì)公平對待每一個(gè)學(xué)生,對任何一個(gè)學(xué)生的特殊優(yōu)待都是對其他學(xué)生的不公平。對于學(xué)生的困難,無論是學(xué)習(xí)上的還是生活上的,我都會(huì)盡力幫助學(xué)生解決的,這是我的職責(zé)所在。家長有什么困難可以直接和我溝通,我能做到的一定盡力去做。如果在教學(xué)中有引起家長誤會(huì)的地方,希望家長及時(shí)指出,方便我改正。解析: 嚴(yán)禁接受學(xué)生家長的禮金及禮物 、 禁止教育系統(tǒng)廣大干部教職工參加家長組織的宴請活動(dòng) 等,是教育部實(shí)行多年的規(guī)定。作為教師,我必須遵守相關(guān)規(guī)定,我也會(huì)在平時(shí)教學(xué)中做好和家長的溝通,讓家長配合自己的工作。

Why did the woman find the job appealing?24. What had the woman been doing in Geneva?25. What was the woman asked to do in the end?Section BPassage OneOne of the greatest heartbreaks for fire fighters occurs when they fail to rescue a child from a burning building because the child, frightened by smoke and noise, hides under a bed or in a closet and is later found dead. Saddest of all is when children catch a glimpse of the masked fire fighter but hide because they think they have seen a monster. To prevent such tragedies, fire fighter Eric Velez gives talks to children in his community, explaining that they should never hide during a fire. He displays fire fighters equipment, including the oxygen mask, which he encourages his listeners to play with and put on. If you see us, Velez tells them, don t hide! We are not monsters. We have come to rescue you. Velez gives his presentations in English and Spanish. Growing up in San Francisco, he learnt Spanish from his immigrant parents. Velez and other fire fighters throughout North America, who give similar presentations, will never know how many lives they save through their talks. But it s a fact that informative speaking saves lives. For example, several months after listening to an informative speech, Pete Gentry in North Carolina rescued his brother who is choking on food, by using the method taught by student speaker, Julie Paris. In addition to saving lives, informative speakers help people learn new skills, solve problems and acquire fascinating facts about the exciting world in which they live.26 Why do some children trapped in a burning building hide from masked fire fighters?27 What does the passage tell us about fire fighter Eric Velez?28 What do we learn about Pete Gentry?29 What message is the speaker trying to convey?Passage TwoSome people want to make and save a lot of money in order to retire early. I see people pursuing higher paying and increasingly demanding careers to accomplish this goal. They make many personal sacrifices in exchange for income today. The problem is that tomorrow might not come. Even if it all goes according to plan, will you know how to be happy when you are not working if you spend your entire life making money? More importantly, who will be around for you to share your leisure time with? At the other extreme are people who live only for today. Why bother saving when I might not be here tomorrow, they argue. The danger of this approach is that tomorrow may come after all. And most people don t want to spend all their tomorrows working for a living. The earlier neglect of saving, however, makes it difficult not to work when you are older. You maybe surprise to hear me say that if you must pick an extreme I think it s better to pick the spend-all approach. As long as you don t mind continuing to work, assuming your health allows, you should be OK. At least, you are making use of your money, and hopefully deriving value and pleasure from it. Postponing doing what you love and being with people you love until retirement can be a mistake. It may never come. Retirement can be a great time for some people. For others, it is a time of boredom, loneliness and poor health.30 Why do some people pursue higher paying but demanding careers?31 What is the danger facing people who live only for today?32 What does the speaker seem to advocate?Passage ThreeImagine that someone in your neighborhood broke the law, and the judge put the whole neighborhood under suspicion. How fair will that be? Well, it happens everyday to high schoolers. Just because some students have stolen things in shops, all of us are treated like thieves. Even though I d never steal.Store employees looked at me like I m some kind of hardened criminal. For example, during one lunch period, my friend Denny and I went to the Graben Gore Restaurant to have a hot dog. We arrived to find a line of students waiting outside. A new sign in the window told the story. No more than two students at a time . After 15 minutes, we finally got in. But the store manger laid the evil eye on us. I asked him about the new sign, and he said, You kids are stealing too much stuff. You kids? Too much stuff? We were not only assumed to be thieves, but brilliant, greedy thieves. The most annoying thing though, is the way employees watched my friends and me. It s horrible.Once, at a drug store, I was looking around and found a guy standing on a large box, stocking the shelves. He was watching my hands, more than he was watching his own. I showed him that my hands were empty. He got down off his box and rushed off, as if he was going to get the store manger. How crazy is that!33. What does the speaker find to be unfair?34. What measure did the Graben Gore Restaurant take to stop stealing?35. What happened in a drug store that greatly annoyed the speaker?Section CWriting keeps us in touch with other people. We write to communicate with relatives and friends. We write to preserve our family histories so our children and grandchildren can learn and appreciate their heritage. With computers and Internet connections in so many households, colleges, and businesses, people are e-mailing friends and relatives all the time or talking to them in writing in online chat rooms. It is cheaper than calling long distance, and a lot more convenient than waiting until Sunday for the telephone rates to drop. Students are e-mailing their professors to receive and discuss their classroom assignments and to submit them. They are e-mailing classmates to discuss and collaborate on homework. They are also sharing information about concerts and sports events, as well as jokes and their philosophies of life.Despite the growing importance of computers, however, there will always be a place and need for the personal letter. A hand-written note to a friend or a family member is the best way to communicate important thoughts. No matter what the content of the message, its real point is, I want you to know that I care about you. This writing practice brings rewards that can t be seen in bank accounts, but only in the success of human relationships.四、聽力答案每天15分鐘英語聽力ID:shrj520小伙伴關(guān)注了之后,聽力變成送分題▲微信掃描以上二維碼Section A短對話(11~18)答案及解析:11. 答案:D解析:Woman最后說到I ll be happy here no matter what the temperature. 這表明了她待在這里很愉快,很享受待在華盛頓,故選D。12. 答案:D解析:Woman說到but I wish the director would give me some feedback. 這表明了她希望得到director的意見(即反饋),故選D。13.答案:C解析:Man以自己上次因運(yùn)動(dòng)(舉重)過量而受傷為例,建議女士應(yīng)該量力而行,避免過量運(yùn)動(dòng),故選C。14. 答案:C解析:Man開頭就說到I m worried about her going on a plane. 從中可知,他擔(dān)心的是年老的母親能不能乘飛機(jī),故選C。15.答案:C解析:警察開頭問到 Why didn t you stop when we first signaled you at the crossroads? 通過這句話就可以知道女士沒有遵守交通規(guī)則,故選C。16.答案:B解析:Man說到 Maybe you should have it fixed,女士回答到Y(jié)ou re right.這說明女士也同意男士的看法,但并未提到讓這個(gè)男士來修,故選B。17.答案:C解析:Man第二句話說到Now, I have enough money to buy that piece of land I ve had my eye on and build a house on it. 表明他能實(shí)現(xiàn)買地建房的理想了,故選C。18.答案:D解析:Woman說的第一句話是My hands still hurts from the fall on the ice yesterday.從中可知這位女士昨天在冰上滑倒受傷了,但是男士認(rèn)為傷勢并不嚴(yán)重,只建議她休養(yǎng)幾天就可以了,不必去看醫(yī)生。C是較強(qiáng)的干擾項(xiàng),應(yīng)該是女士現(xiàn)在需要休息而不是過去已經(jīng)休息了幾天,故選D。長對話(19~25)答案及解析:19.

Why did the woman find the job appealing?答案:B) She could work close to her family.解析:本題關(guān)鍵詞是appealing,意為引起興趣的。女士提到她喜歡這份工作的原因是be near to the family.,close是near的同義替換詞,因此選擇B選項(xiàng)。24.

You should write at least 150 words following the outline given below.1. 目前高校排名相當(dāng)盛行;2. 對于這種做法人們看法不一;3. 在我看來My Views on University RankingPart II Reading Comprehension (Skimming and Scanning) (15 minutes)Directions: In this part, you will have 15 minutes to go over the passage quickly and answer the questions on Answer Sheet 1. For questions 1-7, choose the best answer from the four choices marked [A], [B], [C] and [D]. For questions 8-10, complete the sentences with the information given in the passage.Into the UnknownThe world has never seen population ageing before. Can it cope?Until the early 1990s nobody much thought about whole populations getting older. The UN had the foresight to convene a world assembly on ageing back in 1982, but that came and went. By 1994 the World Bank had noticed that something big was happening. In a report entitled Averting the Old Age Crisis , it argued that pension arrangements in most countries were unsustainable.For the next ten years a succession of books, mainly by Americans, sounded the alarm. They had titles like Young vs Old, Gray Dawn and The Coming Generational Storm, and their message was blunt: health-care systems were heading for the rocks, pensioners were taking young people to the cleaners, and soon there would be intergenerational warfare.Since then the debate has become less emotional, not least because a lot more is known about the subject. Books, conferences and research papers have multiplied. International organisations such as the OECD and the EU issue regular reports. Population ageing is on every agenda, from G8 economic conferences to NATO summits. The World Economic Forum plans to consider the future of pensions and health care at its prestigious Davos conference early next year. The media, including this newspaper, are giving the subject extensive coverage.Whether all that attention has translated into sufficient action is another question. Governments in rich countries now accept that their pension and health-care promises will soon become unaffordable, and many of them have embarked on reforms, but so far only timidly. That is not surprising: politicians with an eye on the next election will hardly rush to introduce unpopular measures that may not bear fruit for years, perhaps decades.The outline of the changes needed is clear. To avoid fiscal (財(cái)政) meltdown, public pensions and health-care provision will have to be reined back severely and taxes may have to go up. By far the most effective method to restrain pension spending is to give people the opportunity to work longer, because it increases tax revenues and reduces spending on pensions at the same time. It may even keep them alive longer. John Rother, the AARP s head of policy and strategy, points to studies showing that other things being equal, people who remain at work have lower death rates than their retired peers.Younger people today mostly accept that they will have to work for longer and that their pensions will be less generous. Employers still need to be persuaded that older workers are worth holding on to. That may be because they have had plenty of younger ones to choose from, partly thanks to the post-war baby-boom and partly because over the past few decades many more women have entered the labour force, increasing employers choice. But the reservoir of women able and willing to take up paid work is running low, and the baby-boomers are going grey.In many countries immigrants have been filling such gaps in the labour force as have already emerged (and remember that the real shortage is still around ten years off). Immigration in the developed world is the highest it has ever been, and it is making a useful difference. In still-fertile America it currently accounts for about 40% of total population growth, and in fast-ageing western Europe for about 90%.On the face of it, it seems the perfect solution. Many developing countries have lots of young people in need of jobs; many rich countries need helping hands that will boost tax revenues and keep up economic growth. But over the next few decades labour forces in rich countries are set to shrink so much that inflows of immigrants would have to increase enormously to compensate: to at least twice their current size in western Europe s most youthful countries, and three times in the older ones. Japan would need a large multiple of the few immigrants it has at present. Public opinion polls show that people in most rich countries already think that immigration is too high. Further big increases would be politically unfeasible.To tackle the problem of ageing populations at its root, old countries would have to rejuvenate (使年輕) themselves by having more of their own children. A number of them have tried, some more successfully than others. But it is not a simple matter of offering financial incentives or providing more child care. Modern urban life in rich countries is not well adapted to large families. Women find it hard to combine family and career. They often compromise by having just one child.And if fertility in ageing countries does not pick up? It will not be the end of the world, at least not for quite a while yet, but the world will slowly become a different place. Older societies may be less innovative and more strongly disinclined to take risks than younger ones. By 2025 at the latest, about half the voters in America and most of those in western European countries will be over 50 and older people turn out to vote in much greater number than younger ones. Academic studies have found no evidence so far that older voters have used their power at the ballot box to push for policies that specifically benefit them, though if in future there are many more of them they might start doing so.Nor is there any sign of the intergenerational warfare predicted in the 1990s. After all, older people themselves mostly have families. In a recent study of parents and grown-up children in 11 European countries, Karsten Hank of Mannheim University found that 85% of them lived within 25km of each other and the majority of them were in touch at least once a week.Even so, the shift in the centre of gravity to older age groups is bound to have a profound effect on societies, not just economically and politically but in all sorts of other ways too. Richard Jackson and Neil Howe of America s CSIS, in a thoughtful book called The Graying of the Great Powers, argue that, among other things, the ageing of the developed countries will have a number of serious security implications.For example, the shortage of young adults is likely to make countries more reluctant to commit the few they have to military service. In the decades to 2050, America will find itself playing an ever-increasing role in the developed world s defence effort. Because America s population will still be growing when that of most other developed countries is shrinking, America will be the only developed country that still matters geopolitically (地緣政治上).Ask me in 2020There is little that can be done to stop population ageing, so the world will have to live with it. But some of the consequences can be alleviated. Many experts now believe that given the right policies, the effects, though grave, need not be catastrophic. Most countries have recognised the need to do something and are beginning to act.But even then there is no guarantee that their efforts will work. What is happening now is historically unprecedented. Ronald Lee, director of the Centre on the Economics and Demography of Ageing at the University of California, Berkeley, puts it briefly and clearly: We don t really know what population ageing will be like, because nobody has done it yet.注意:此部分試題請?jiān)诖痤}卡1上作答。1.

Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words. Please write your answers on Answer Sheet 2.Questions 47 to 51 are based on the following passage.Most young boys are trained to believe that men should be strong, tough, cool, and detached. Thus, they learn early to hide vulnerable emotions such as love, joy, and sadness because they believe that such feelings are feminine and imply weakness. Over time, some men become strangers to their own emotional lives. It seems that men with traditional views of masculinity are more likely to suppress outward emotions and to fear emotions, supposedly because such feelings may lead to a loss of composure (鎮(zhèn)定). Keep in mind, however, that this view is challenged by some researchers. As with many gender gaps, differences in emotionality tend to be small, inconsistent, and dependent on the situation. For instance, Robertson and colleagues found that males who were more traditionally masculine were more emotionally expressive in a structured exercise than when they were simply asked to talk about their emotions.Males difficulty with tender emotions has serious consequences. First, suppressed emotions can contribute to stress-related disorders. And worse, men are less likely than women to seek help from health professionals. Second, men s emotional inexpressiveness can cause problems in their relationships with partners and children. For example, men who endorse traditional masculine norms report lower relationship satisfaction, as do their female partners. Further, children whose fathers are warm, loving, and accepting toward them have higher self-esteem and lower rates of aggression and behavior problems. On a positive note, fathers are increasingly involving themselves with their children. And 30 percent of fathers report that they take equal or greater responsibility for their children than their working wives do.One emotion males are allowed to express is anger. Sometimes this anger translates into physical aggression or violence. Men commit nearly 90 percent of violent crimes in the United States and almost all sexual assaults.注意: 此部分試題請?jiān)诖痤}卡2上作答。47.

Each passage is followed by some questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked [A], [B], [C] and [D] You should decide on the best choice and mark the corresponding letter on Answer Sheet 2 with a single line through the centre.Passage OneQuestions 52 to 56 are based on the following passage.In the early 20th century, few things were more appealing than the promise of scientific knowledge. In a world struggling with rapid industrialization, science and technology seemed to offer solutions to almost every problem. Newly created state colleges and universities devoted themselves almost entirely to scientific, technological, and engineering fields. Many Americans came to believe that scientific certainty could not only solve scientific problems, but also reform politics, government, and business. Two world wars and a Great Depression rocked the confidence of many people that scientific expertise alone could create a prosperous and ordered world. After World War Ⅱ, the academic world turned with new enthusiasm to humanistic studies, which seemed to many scholars the best way to ensure the survival of democracy. American scholars fanned out across much of the world with support from the Ford Foundation, the Fulbright program, etc. to promote the teaching of literature and the arts in an effort to make the case for democratic freedoms.In the America of our own time, the great educational challenge has become an effort to strengthen the teaching of what is now known as the STEM disciplines (science, technology, engineering, and math). There is considerable and justified concern that the United States is falling behind much of the rest of the developed world in these essential disciplines. India, China, Japan, and other regions seem to be seizing technological leadership.At the same time, perhaps inevitably, the humanities while still popular in elite colleges and universities have experienced a significant decline. Humanistic disciplines are seriously underfunded, not just by the government and the foundations but by academic institutions themselves. Humanists are usually among the lowest-paid faculty members at most institutions and are often lightly regarded because they do not generate grant income and because they provide no obvious credentials (資質(zhì)) for most nonacademic careers.Undoubtedly American education should train more scientists and engineers. Much of the concern among politicians about the state of American universities today is focused on the absence of real world education which means preparation for professional and scientific careers. But the idea that institutions or their students must decide between humanities and science is false. Our society could not survive without scientific and technological knowledge. But we would be equally impoverished (貧困的) without humanistic knowledge as well. Science and technology teach us what we can do. Humanistic thinking helps us understand what we should do.It is almost impossible to imagine our society without thinking of the extraordinary achievements of scientists and engineers in building our complicated world. But try to imagine our world as well without the remarkable works that have defined our culture and values. We have always needed, and we still need, both.注意:此部分試題請?jiān)诖痤}卡2上作答。52.

This is the undercurrent of conversation at Einstein memorial meetings throughout the year. A new Einstein will emerge, scientists say. But it may take a long time. After all, more than 200 years separated Einstein from his nearest rival, Isaac Newton.Many physicists say the next Einstein hasn t been born yet, or is a baby now. That s because the quest for a unified theory that would account for all the forces of nature has pushed current mathematics to its limits. New math must be created before the problem can be solved.But researchers say there are many other factors working against another Einstein emerging anytime soon.For one thing, physics is a much different field today. In Einstein s day, there were only a few thousand physicists worldwide, and the theoreticians who could intellectually rival Einstein probably would fit into a streetcar with seats to spare.Education is different, too. One crucial aspect of Einstein s training that is overlooked is the years of philosophy he read as a teenager Kant, Schopenhauer and Spinoza, among others. It taught him how to think independently and abstractly about space and time, and it wasn t long before he became a philosopher himself.The independence created by philosophical insight is in my opinion the mark of distinction between a mere artisan (工匠) or specialist and a real seeker after truth, Einstein wrote in 1944.And he was an accomplished musician. The interplay between music and math is well known. Einstein would furiously play his violin as a way to think through a knotty physics problem.Today, universities have produced millions of physicists. There aren t many jobs in science for them, so they go to Wall Street and Silicon Valley to apply their analytical skills to more practical and rewarding efforts.Maybe there is an Einstein out there today, said Columbia University physicist Brian Greene, but it would be a lot harder for him to be heard.Especially considering what Einstein was proposing.The actual fabric of space and time curving? My God, what an idea! Greene said at a recent gathering at the Aspen Institute. It takes a certain type of person who will bang his head against the wall because you believe you ll find the solution.Perhaps the best examples are the five scientific papers Einstein wrote in his miracle year of 1905. These thought experiments were pages of calculations signed and submitted to the prestigious journal Annalen der Physik by a virtual unknown. There were no footnotes or citations.What might happen to such a submission today?We all get papers like those in the mail, Greene said. We put them in the junk file.注意: 此部分試題請?jiān)诖痤}卡2上作答。57. What do scientists seem to agree upon, judging from the first two paragraphs?[A] Einstein pushed mathematics almost to its limits.[B] It will take another Einstein to build a unified theory.[C] No physicist is likely to surpass Einstein in the next 200 years.[D] It will be some time before a new Einstein emerges.58. What was critical to Einstein s success?[A] His talent as an accomplished musician.[B] His independent and abstract thinking.[C] His untiring effort to fulfill his potential.[D] His solid foundation in math theory.59. What does the author tell us about physicists today?[A] They tend to neglect training in analytical skills.[B] They are very good at solving practical problems.[C] They attach great importance to publishing academic papers.[D] They often go into fields yielding greater financial benefits.60. What does Brian Greene imply by saying ... it would be a lot harder for him to be heard (Lines 1-2, Para. 9)?[A] People have to compete in order to get their papers published.[B] It is hard for a scientist to have his papers published today.[C] Papers like Einstein s would unlikely get published today.[D] Nobody will read papers on apparently ridiculous theories.61. When he submitted his papers in 1905, Einstein _______.[A] forgot to make footnotes and citations[B] was little known in academic circles[C] was known as a young genius in math calculations[D] knew nothing about the format of academic papersPart V Cloze (15 minutes)Directions: There are 20 blanks in the following passage.

The ranking standards also vary. These lists have great influence on students. They are even becoming the only scale to evaluate the colleges and universities.People hold different views toward this phenomenon. Some believe that these lists help the students a lot, especially for those who will choose their university. While some other protest vigorously. In their points, the list is really ridiculous and harmful. In my view, the university ranking may have its own reference values, but its disadvantages overweigh its values.For those university-students-to-be, they are supposed to choose the school according to his or her own situation, but not the so-called Ranking List. What s more, how about the university students? How do they feel about themselves when they see the ranking? The list may become some intangible shackles for them if their own school ranks poorly.In a nutshell, there is no easy method to rank these universities, but the Ranking, only helps students ignore the essentials, namely, their ninety-nine percent perspiration.此次六級(jí)作文的自由度很大,看似給出了提綱,實(shí)際上具體的觀點(diǎn)全靠個(gè)人發(fā)揮。第一段需要點(diǎn)明大學(xué)排名這個(gè)現(xiàn)象,第二段需要鋪陳不同人的觀點(diǎn),第三段要陳述自己的觀點(diǎn)。大學(xué)排名這個(gè)題目,實(shí)際上涉及到了對了大學(xué)的理解,對于大學(xué)排名標(biāo)準(zhǔn)的理解,以及對于大學(xué)排名的目的的理解。而這件事更加離不開中國具體的國情,新中國50年代人至今受教育的情況,90后擇校的情況,目前大學(xué)的情況,考生發(fā)揮的空間可以縱橫數(shù)十年的教育史,并且可以深入探討教育的本質(zhì)。當(dāng)然,對于大多數(shù)考生來說,湊滿150個(gè)字萬歲!那么,模板又可以派上用場了。模板一1.Different people have different views on2.
