Whether we like it or not, the new language is learnt on thebasis of a previously acquired language.4) L1 is the yardstick and guide to our new L2. We recognize the existence of languageuniversals. So we can use our L1 knowledge to facilitate our learning of L2. In fact, an individuallearning an L2 tends to transfer rules, habits, and meanings from his mother tongue.5) At the novice stage, it may be useful to fall back on comparisons between L1 and Lgand explanations of L2 in L1 terms. It is very difficult to make everything clear to thebeginners, who are too poor in the foreign language.2本题本两部分，区别部分能回答1)一3)中的一个可得1分，两个可得3分。有关关系部分，只要能回答出4)中的测试是评估数据的收集方式之一即可得1分。行文无语言错误，符合逻辑即可得1分。1) Testing often takes the pencil and paper form, and is expressed by a mark orgrade, while assessment involves the collection of a wide range of information in a reportform with scales or levels as well as description and comment.2) Testing is usually done at the end of a learning period, for example at the end of atwo months learning, half a semester or a whole semester, while assessment involves achilds learning progress and achievement over a period of time for the purposes of improvingteaching and learning.3) Testing is usually for schools or parents benefits, for them to know exactly whereeach child stands among all the children, while assessment is for the students themselves toknow how they are going along and for the teachers to know which stage they are at andwhat they need to do further.4) Testing is only one source of information for assessment. It cant provide a wholepicture of a student or teaching. To conduct assessment we need not only testing results butalso other information about the learning process both from the teacher and the students.Assessment can provide a much fuller picture about students learning progress and learningachievement.3本题1)占2分，如果回答成summative assessment则不得分。2)一4)出一点即可得2分。行文无语言错误，符合逻辑即可得1分。1) It supports formative assessment.2) It is a self-evaluation sheet and self-evaluation sheet is a technique of formativeassessment.3) From the questions we can find that the evaluation is focused on the process, which isthe key feature of formative assessment.4) The evaluation of strategy use also reflects the use of formative assessment.4本题只要能回答出三点即可得4分，不要求语言一致，只要主要意思说出即可。行文无语言错误，符合逻辑即可得1分。1) The task may be too difficult or easy.2) The task may be a little too boring or mechanical.3) The students may have done the task before, so they have little interest.4) Some students misbehave only to attract the teacher% attention.5) Some students misbehave just because they are naughty and nothing in lesson canhold their interest.6) Some students may have home problems.5Activity designing本题为实践题，共l小题，20分。具体分配为1) Objective活动目的描述清楚，与活动相适应得2分，不符合活动要求不得分。2) Classroom organization活动组织形式与活动相适应得2分，否则不得分。3) Assumed time活动每一阶段要给出活动时间，时间分配合理，且与活动总体时间相符，得2分。如果有部分步骤给出时间，其他的没给则不得分，各步骤时间总和与整个活动时间不符，不得分。4) Procedure活动的程序描述要清楚，一般至少要有三步组成，其中每一步要描述清楚教师和学生行为，以及教师指令。能清楚描述者得9分，每一阶段3分。5) Predicted problems预测问题符合小学生的具体情况，符合活动的特点得2分。6) Possible solutions解决方式适合问题类型得2分，如果有多种变化，比如提出了2种问题解决方式得3分。Objectives :to practice the function of ordering and to apply the structure What would youlike ?Classroom organization: pair work/group workAssumed time: 10Procedure1. Arrange the students into pairs to practice ordering in a restaurant with the help of amenu. (4)2. Invite three volunteers to come to the front to play waitresses in a restaurant.

(1)Predicted problems:1While some students come to the front to play the scene in the restaurant, otherstudents may misbehave or may not participate.2. Some students may order very strange things.Solutions:1. If some students misbehave or do not participate, the teacher can give them tasks todo, for example, listen to the dialogue and answer what each student has ordered. Theteacher can assign the task to others before the activity and check the task after the activity.2. If some students do not follow the instruction and order things outside the menu, theteacher should observe how the students(who play the waitresses) deal with it. If they fail todeal with it very well, the teacher can ask other students to give suggestions or he givessuggestions himself
