论英语语言课程设计中的需求分析

界定需求要从目标和目的两个方面进行,这两个方面是我们发展测试、材料、教学活动、评价策略的基础。因此需求分析是语言课程建设不可分割的一部分。本文重点介绍了英语语言课程设计中需求分析的方法及步骤。目的在于强调需求分析的重要性,以及需求分析对于教师改进教学方法、提高教学效果、提高学生学习的主动性和积极性的重要意义。     

Ethnic patterns in the phonetics of Montreal English

Most North American cities no longer display strong ethnic differentiation of speech within the European‐origin population. This is not true in the English‐speaking community of Montreal, Canada, where English is a minority language. Differences in the phonetic realization of vowels by Montrealers of Irish, Italian, and Jewish ethnic origin are investigated by means of acoustic analysis. A statistical analysis of ethnic differences in formant frequencies shows that ethnicity has a significant effect on several variables, particularly the phonetic position of /u:/ and /ou/ and the allophonic conditioning of /æ/ and /au/ before nasal consonants. The unusual tenacity of ethnophonetic variation in Montreal English is explained in light of the minority status of English, and the social and residential segregation of ethnic groups in distinct neighborhoods, which limits their exposure to speakers of Standard Canadian English who might otherwise serve as models for assimilation.     

ASSESSING CONGRUENCEAMONG DISTANCE MATRICES: SINGLE-MALT SCOTCH WHISKIES REVISITED

A test of congruence among distance matrices is described. It tests the hypothesis that several matrices, containing different types of variables about the same objects, are congruent with one another, so they can be used jointly in statistical analysis. Raw data tables are turned into similarity or distance matrices prior to testing; they can then be compared to data that naturally come in the form of distance matrices. The proposed test can be seen as a generalization of the Mantel test of matrix correspondence to any number of distance matrices. This paper shows that the new test has the correct rate of Type I error and good power. Power increases as the number of objects and the number of congruent data matrices increase; power is higher when the total number of matrices in the study is smaller. To illustrate the method, the proposed test is used to test the hypothesis that matrices representing different types of organoleptic variables (colour, nose, body, palate and finish) in single‐malt Scotch whiskies are congruent.     

对近年来我国建设用地扩张的分析

着眼近年来我国的建设用地面积增长扩张的现状,分析了造成建设用地扩张的原因,指出城镇人口的增加、经济发展的需求、征地制度的实施和经济利益的驱动是建设用地扩张的主要因素。总结出建设用地过度扩张,会对我国粮食安全和生态安全构成威胁。由此提出严格控制利用土地谋利益,避免建设用地过度扩张。     

新形势下农资价格大幅上涨对“三农”的影响分析

文章首先以湖北省襄樊市的调研数据为依据对此次农资价格整体变动情况作了说明，紧接着对本轮农资价格大幅上涨的深层次原因、趋势及其对“三农”的影响作了深入剖析。结果表明，农资生产原料价格的迅猛上涨是此次农资价格上涨的导火索与根本推动力量，农资上涨基本上冲销了中央一系列惠农政策带给农民的实惠，使农民的种粮积极性遭受很大挫伤。最后从放开价格、加强宏观调控、改变补贴方式、健全营销网络、完善储备制度、加强市场监管及监测等方面提出政策建议。     

品牌女装消费者对价格促销的态度研究

运用问卷调查的方式，对广州市品牌女装消费者对价格促销的态度进行研究，有如下结论：不同品牌忠诚度的消费者对价格的重视度有显著的差异，价格促销对忠诚度越低的人越有影响；不同品牌忠诚度的消费者在不同的价格促销状态下的态度存在差异，偶尔的深度折扣对感知价格评价和对购买意向的影响方面皆较为积极；消费者在打折时的质量感知、购买意向、期望促销持续时间、感知知名度和感知价格的评价都较为积极；忠诚度较高的消费者有着更高的折扣区间；优惠券对刺激消费者购买意向的作用非常有限。     

Holistic trajectories: a study of combined employment, housing and family careers by using multiple-sequence analysis

Summary.  Social science applications of sequence analysis have thus far involved the development of a typology on the basis of an analysis of one or two variables which have had a relatively low number of different states. There is a yet unexplored potential for sequence analysis to be applied to a greater number of variables and thereby a much larger state space. The development of a typology of employment experiences, for example, without reference to data on changes in housing, marital and family status is arguably inadequate. The paper demonstrates the use of sequence analysis in the examination of multivariable combinations of status as they change over time and shows that this method can provide insights that are difficult to achieve through other analytic methods. The data that are examined here provide support to intuitive understandings of clusters of common experiences which are both life course specific and related to socio-economic factors. Housing tenure is found to be of key importance in understanding the holistic trajectories that are examined. This suggests that life course trajectories are sharply differentiated by experience of social housing.     

供应链风险产生根源的理论分析

根据现有文献研究成果,结合实际调研分析,将供应链风险因素整理归纳为系统风险、供应风险、物流风险、信息风险、财务风险、管理风险、需求风险和环境风险。每种风险因素并非独立存在,而是相互影响、互为根源。其非线性叠加结果将会放大供应链整体风险水平。因此,必须认识到其存在的风险,只有在明确各种风险产生根源的基础上,才能恰当地制定、选择和采取有效措施,规避风险,确保供应链整体绩效稳步提高。     

海伍德对政治学核心概念的独到分析与诠释——《政治学核心概念》评介

《政治学核心概念》是一部在国外政治学界有广泛影响的著作。在这部著作中,海伍德强调了政治概念的特殊重要性并对此进行了独到的解释;探讨了政治概念在实际应用中存在的特殊问题并进行了有深度的分析;对"规范性概念"和"描述性概念"进行了富有启发意义的区分与阐释。该书不仅展现了作者在政治概念界定与诠释上的学术专长与独到之处,也体现了作者在政治学知识再现与传播上尽量贴近读者与学生的教师情结与风范。     

"黔电送粤"中水电真实移民成本问题研究

现行“黔电送粤”的电价未能反映真实移民成本。理应在厘清真实移民成本主要组成部分的基础上,在谈判和核定电价时加以考虑,促使真实移民成本成为电价的构成要素,这对于解决各族移民的脱贫致富,具有重要意义。
