Lesson 5 Patterns of organization-2
1、 Read the following article about whether recreational marijuana should be legalized and answer the questions.More than half of US adults, over 128 million people, have tried marijuana, despite it being an illegal drug under federal law. Nearly 600,000 Americans are arrested for marijuana possession annually–more than one person per minute. Public support for legalizing marijuana went from 12% in 1969 to 66% today. Starting with Colorado and Washington in 2012, recreational marijuana, also known as adult-use marijuana, has been legalized by ten states in the US. However, in spite of all these benefits that proponents have claimed, I still believe that the legalization of recreational marijuana will bring many problems.First of all, legalizing marijuana will do much harm to the teenagers. The percentage of 12- to 17-year-olds using marijuana is higher in every legal marijuana state than the national average. Compared to adults, teenagers are especially vulnerable to the side effects of marijuana because human brains are not fully developed until around age 25 (four years past the legal age in states that allow recreational marijuana). The American Academy of Pediatrics said that adverse effects of teen marijuana use include “impaired short-term memory and decreased concentration, attention span, and problem solving, which clearly interfere with learning. Alterations in motor control, coordination, judgment, reaction time, and tracking ability have also been documented; these may contribute to unintentional deaths and injuries.”Secondly, marijuana use harms more than just the person using the drug. Societal costs of marijuana use include paying for increased emergency room visits, medical care, and addiction treatment for the uninsured; more victims of drugged driving accidents; increased crime; and a negative impact on health from secondhand smoke. As it was, legalized marijuana creates steep costs for society and taxpayers that far outweigh its tax revenues.(1) Which pattern of organization is adopted in this article?
A:Sequential pattern.
B:Cause-effect pattern.
C:Chronological pattern.
D:Problem-solution pattern.
答案: Cause-effect pattern.
2、 (2) This article has not been finished yet. If you were the author, you might do the following things EXCEPT__.
A:adding a conclusion
B:introducing a counter argument
C:proving more evidence about the adverse effects of marijuana

Lesson 7 Paragraph unity and coherence, Transitions, Emphatic devices
1、 Read the following paragraph about regional languages and answer the questions: ① The importance of regional language may increase in the near future. ② Popular writers, itinerant merchants, bazaar marketers, literacy advocates, relief workers, filmmakers, and missionaries all tend to bank on regional lingua francas whenever there is an opportunity to reach larger, even if less affluent, populations. ③ In many developing areas, it is regional languages that facilitate agricultural, industrial, and commercial expansion across local cultural and governmental boundaries. ④ They also foster literacy and formal adult or even elementary education in highly multilingual areas. ⑤ Consider the case of Africa, where some 2, 000 of the modern world’s approximately 6, 000 languages are spoken and 13 percent of the world’s population lives. ⑥ English is neither the only nor even the best means to navigate this linguistic obstacle course. ⑦ Throughout East Africa, Swahili is typically the first language that two strangers attempt upon meeting. ⑧ The average East African encounters it in a variety of contexts, from the market, elementary education, and government “how to” publications, to popular radio programming and films. ⑨ New movies from India are often dubbed in Swahili and shown in towns and villages throughout Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda. ⑩ Thus, wherever the local vernaculars are just too many to handle, regional languages often come to the fore. 1.
