高级英语视听说(第二版)---教师用书及课后答案(2)

测试是评价教学效果和学生表现的重要手段，下面我们将详细介绍本课程在北京外国语大学开课时采用的测试方法，供任课教师参考。

总评成绩分配比例：

为了不把期末考试作为衡量学生水平的唯一标准，我们将总评成绩分为70%（平时对电影、电视节目的分析和讨论）、10%（项目）和20%（期末考试）三部分。从比例上看，我们的重点放在平时成绩，这是为了让学生重视日常的学习和练习，淡化期末考试的分量，同时也避免出现某些学生因一次考试失误，而无法体现在整个学期中所付出的努力的情况。

考试内容及方法：

考试内容是针对一个电视节目的主题做演讲。教师先提供一些电视节目，学生从中选择自己感兴趣的节目来准备。电视节目的长短在20至40分钟左右，节目需要有一个可供讨论的主题。

考试要求学生根据节目的主题做一个三分钟左右的演讲。演讲的前半部分需要简单介绍节目的内容，检查学生的叙述能力；后半部分阐述对问题的看法，这部分是考查重点，检查学生分析问题的能力；演讲之后学生须准备回答教师提出的2到3个相关问题，这是为了检查学生即席阐述观点的能力和语言表达能力。

通常教师在考试前两周告诉学生可从中选择的电视节目范围以及考试要求，并把这些节目输入小型局域网，学生可以在开放时间内随时观看。我们建议准备10个左右的电视节目，要求每个学生挑选其中两个最感兴趣的节目进行准备。考试时只需要考核一个节目，考核哪一个由教师来决定。

我们衷心希望《高级英语视听说（第二版）》教师用书给您带来帮助。希望您在教授时感到得心应手。同时希望听到您和您的学生真诚的建议和意见。

II. Questions for Thoughts

The following answers are given only for reference, and the students are encouraged to present their own understandings of or opinions on these questions.

1. Who is Nina? What has Nina been dreaming about? What is it on Nina’

s back that attracts her mother’s attention?

Nina is a dedicated ballerina with a prestigious New York City ballet company. The night before the audition for Swan Lake, Nina has a dream in which Rothbart casts the spell and turns her, Princess Odette, into the White Swan. Later that morning, when she's standing in front of the mirror, her mother notices the "scratches" on Nina's back. Though Nina dismisses it as nothing but "rash", her mom looks worried because later as she says, she knows Nina has the habit of scratching herself when under pressure.

2. Who is Thomas? Why does the ballet company want to start a new season

of Swan Lake? What is the story of Swan Lake? What sort of a soloist dancer is Thomas looking for?

Thomas is the company's art director of Swan Lake. Since the former soloist dancer of Swan Lake has been dancing for too long a time to keep the grip of the audience, the company plans to force her into retirement and present to the audience a new face to lead a new season of Swan Lake. In the story of Swan Lake, an innocent princess, Odette, is trapped by Rothbart into the shape of a White Swan, and only true love from the prince can break the spell and set her free. However, when the prince is about to declare his love for Odette, her lustful twin, the Black Swan Odile, tricks and seduces the prince, and Odette, the White Swan, in her desperation jumps off the cliff and in death finds her freedom. Thomas, the director, wants to find a new Swan Queen to play the dual roles of the White and the Black Swans.

3. Who is Beth? What does Nina do after seeing Beth leaving her dressing

room? Why does she do so?

Beth is the former Swan Queen who is forced out of stage by the company.

Nina admires Beth's role as Swan Queen so much that after seeing Beth leaving the dressing room, she steps in and takes Beth's lipstick.

What she does is out of her strong desire to be a Swan Queen as perfect as Beth once was.

4. What does the morning audition mean to Nina? How does she feel about

the failure in her Odile’s coda? How does Thomas comment on her dancing?

Nina's dedication and perfect technique make her one of the best

dancers in the company. For all the years, she's been driven by the dream to be a perfect ballet dancer, and the audition is a once-in-a-life-time chance to elevate her from an ordinary ballerina to a featured dancer. Nina's failure in the Odile’s coda leaves her completely devastated. As Thomas later explains, Nina's perfect dancing technique and her fearful and fragile style make her an ideal choice for the White Swan; however, due to her obsession with perfection, her strong sense of discipline and self-control, there's no chance for her to portray the destructive and seductive Black Swan.

5. What does Nina see on her way home that disturbs her so much? What

does it indicate?

After the audition, Nina is walking home, devastated. Then all of a sudden, she sees an attractive girl in black coming to her direction and when the girl slips by, Nina takes a glimpse and sees a face exactly like her own but with a strange wild smile, which gives her quite a start. What Nina imagines to see gives us a hint that the pressure has become so unbearable for Nina that her mind, while unable to seek

a normal way out, starts to produce hallucinations.

6. How does Nina come to Thomas the next morning and ask for the part

of Swan Queen? Why does Thomas force a kiss on Nina? How does Nina respond to it?

Loosing her hair down, wearing pretty white dress and thick lipstick, Nina comes to Thomas’ office. Nina plea …… 此处隐藏：5275字，全部文档内容请下载后查看。喜欢就下载吧 ……
