StepIV. Diction
1.In this text, did you notice the word “farming”? What’s the difference between “farming” and “farm”? Let’s look at a sentence first.
The farmers live by _______.(farm,farming) (Which word will you choose?)
Yes,“farming” is the correct word.
Farm: an area of land, together with its buildings.
Farmland: only the land for farming.
Farming: working on the farm.
To farm : to do farm work
1).They like to eat _______. 2).They live by________.(fish,fishing)
2.work out: The FAO has worked out that up to 30% of food is lost in storage.
a)work out 一词的“新词义”曾经出现在2001年高考“单项真空”中，现在，可结合Lesson14的内容，试用work out的“新词义”造句如下：
Various things have been done to increase the food supply in the world. But at first they all seemed unlikely to be of any efficiency at all. However, dozens of years have passed and most of the efforts seem to be working out far better than most of the optimistic people expected.
b)work at, work on, work out
work at和 work on都有“从事……”的意思。
在此意义上，两者可以换用。如：

work at 还有“在……工作”的意思。如：
How long have you been working at this school?
work on 还有（激起人的感情等）“对……起作用，影响……”的意思。如：
The sight of so much suffering worked on our hearts so that we were filled with pity.
这么多受难的情景时震憾了我们的心，我们心中都充满了同情。
work out 表示“计算出，解决（问题）”等意思。如：
Can you work out how much it costs to feed a common family?
I can’ t work out this sum.
work out 还有“想出，弄清楚（常用于否定句）”等意思。如：
We must work out a better method of saving money.
I can’t work out the meaning of this poem. 1. order的用法
StepV.Phrases
Be suitable for day by day up to 30% ruin in storage starve to death be likely to do attack various things
参考文档1

参考译文：Only 11% of the earth’s land surface is suitable for growing crops.And this area is becoming smaller and smaller day by day.It’s worked out that up to 30% of food is lost in storage.Food stores are frequently ruined by rain ,or eaten by mice.Every year a great number of people starve to death.People are trying various ways to increase food supply.Scientists are developing new types of plants which are less likely to be attacked by pests and diseases.
听力完型教案
1.Listening: Fill in blanks(通过这项训练可以训练学生很强的专注力，这在高考中至关重要。同时还可以训练学生把握细节的能力，这样一篇听力材料会有更好的教学效果。)
feed the world
A food scientist is discussing the main types of food crops.( S=scientist; I=interviewer)
I: One of the most important food crops in the world of course is rice. Why is it so important?
S: Well, for one thing, everyone can eat it, and it’s suittable for sick people and young children.
I:Is it grown all over the world?
S: No. It needs a hot climate and lots of water.So it can’t be grown in cold countries or where there is little water. But where the conditions are right, you can grow three rice crops in a year.
I: Can you live on rice alone?
S: No.It doesn’t contain all the foods a body needs to stay healthy.Also it’s better to eat the whole grain, but in many parts of the world it’s the custom to remove the brown outside part of the grain. I: What about the potato?
S:Well,the potato is a very good food for the human body. So you could live for six months just by eating potatoes. In a year, you would also need to eat a little fat and some fresh fruit to stay healthy.
I:Where are potatoes grown?
S:They can be grown in cold countries , like the north of Europe and up in the mountains of South American , where the potato came from.
I:What about bread?
S:Bread can be made from different grains. It’s an important food in the north of Europe where it’s cold but also in the Middle East.It’s a very good food,but you need to eat other foods like fresh fruit and vegetables to stay healthy.
I:Are there any other foods we haven’t mentioned?
S:Yes, there’s Indian corn. This came from America, but is now a very important crop all over the world. You need a warm sunny climate to grow maize , but it doesn’t need as much water as rice. Mind you, if you water your maize, you will get a better crop.
I: And we haven’t mentioned noodles.
S: No. Very important!Noodles and pasta are both made from a type of hard grain . thje grain is turned into a powder, mixed with water and then formed into different shapes. In Asia and the Middle West these are called noodles and in Italy these are called pasta.

“I’ve been writing a book, John. Do you think anyone would be interested in 1 it?” said the old lady.
John took 2 the papers from her shaking hand and 3 her in a chair. He remembered her rich 4 in the early days of the Old West. He looked through the papers, “It’s good, Grandma.” he said gently. Then realizing that she couldn’t hear him, he shouted 5 her ears. “I think it s very good. I’ll 6 it to a publisher.”
Ten days later, he reported that the publisher had had time to read only a few pages. But he was so impressed that he had sent $100 for an option (版权). 7 money would be given as an advance. Every month John brought $100 for her with a letter from the publisher telling about the 8 of the book.
One morning, three months after her 100th birthday, Grandma didn’t get up. The doctor told her that she couldn’t 9 more than a few days. She was 10 to go, but she first wanted her book to be in 11 . John promised that she would get it very soon.
Grandma 12 on until the day the book came into her hands, with the title and her name on the cover. Though she couldn't see it, she could 13 it. She 14 traced (探查) her name with her fingers, tears in her eyes. Two hours later. She died peacefully, still holding her book. Her granddaughter took up the book and opened it. “Why, it’s just blank pages!” she cried in 15 .
John's face turned 16 . Then the girl understood. There never was a book. Grandma couldn’t hear the little bell when the typewriter came to the 17 of the line. She would keep on working, not 18 the whole sentences and sometimes the paragraphs were 19 . John did not tell her, for he couldn’t take away her only 20 . It was John himself who had written the letters and sold his car to pay the advance.
