WARMING UP

?Answers:

1 Archimedes, Ancient Greek (287-21

2 BC) He was a mathematician. He found that if you put an object into water the water pushes the object up. It rises and partly floats. The force of the water pushing it up is the same as the weight of the object.

2 Charles Darwin, British (1808-1882) The Origin of Species was published in 1859. It explained how plants and animals had changed over time to fit in with a changing environment. At the time it was published it was very controversial. Many people believed the Bible when it said that God made the first two people (Adam and Eve) and that all other people came from these two. Darwin’s book showed that people had developed from apes instead. So this caused a lot of ar gument between religious and scientific people. However Darwin’s idea became very influential and is still accepted today.

3 Thomas Newcomen, British (1663-1729) He improved the first steam pump built by Thomas Savery in 1698 and turned it into a steam engine for taking water out of mines in 1712. James Watt improved it still further in the 1770s turning it into the first modern steam engine used on the railways.

4 Gregor Mendel, Czech (1822-1884) He grew pea plants and developed ideas on heredity and inherited characteristics. He concentrated on cross-fertilising pea plants and analyzing the results. Between 1856-1863 he grew 28,000 pea plants. He examined seven kinds of seed and plant characteristics and developed some laws of inheritance. The first is that inheritance factors do not combine but are passed to the next generation intact. Second, he found that each partner gives half the inherited factors to the young. Third, some of these factors show up in the offspring (and so are dominant). The other factors are masked by the dominant ones (and so are recessive).

5 Marie Curie, Polish and French (1867-1934) She was born in Poland and came to study in France in 1891 and she lived there for the rest of her life. In 1898 she discovered radium. She received two Nobel prizes, one (with Pierre Curie) for physics (1903) and one for chemistry (1911). She is the only person to have been so honoured. On the death of her husband she took over his job at the Sorbonne in Paris. Her work on radioactivity and the discovery of radium meant that she began a new scientific area of research. She was the first woman to receive a Nobel Prize and the first woman to teach at the Sorbonne.

6 Thomas Edison, American (1847-1931) He was already an inventor of other electrical devices (phonograph, electric light bulb) when in 1882 he designed a system for providing New York with electricity from a central power station. This was a tremendous achievement, which had previously been thought impossible.

7 Leonardo da Vinci, Italian (1452-1519) He was a famous artist whose skill for showing human skin tones made his paintings seem to come alive. He used to study dead people in order to make his paintings as accurate as possibile. Some of his famous paintings include “The Adoration of the Magi” and the “The Last Supper”. Later in his life he lived in France where he designed a submarine and a flying machine.

8 Sir Humphry Davy, British (1778-1829) He did research into different gases and discovered the medicinal value of nitrous oxide (or laughing gas) as an anaesthetic. In 1815 he developed a safety lamp for miners. Previously there had been many accidents when candles on the miners’ helmets had exploded when it came into contact with underground gas from the coal the miners were digging. The safety helmet made working underground very much safer.

9 Zhang Heng, Chinese (78-139) He invented the first seismograph to indicate in the direction of an earthquake. It was in the shape of a cylinder with eight dragon heads round the top, each with a ball in its mouth. Around the bottom were eight frogs directly under a dragon’s head. When an earthquake occurred, a ball fell out of the dragon’s mouth, making a noise.

10 Stephen Hawking, British (1942-) He has worked in astronomy and studied black holes in space. He has shown that black holes do not only absorb everything around them but, from time to time, throw out matter as well. This may mark the beginning of new galaxies. This is an advance on the old theory which said that black holes “eat” everything they come across. COMPREHENDING

?Answer key for Exercise 1:

1 An outbreak of cholera hit London in 1854.

2 John Snow began to test two theories.

3 John Snow investigated two streets where the outbreak was very severe.

4 John Snow marked the deaths on a map.

5 He found that most of the deaths were near a water pump.

6 He had the handle removed from the water pump.

7 He announced that the water carried the disease.

8 King Cholera was defeated.

?Answer key for Exercise 2:

1 John Snow finally proved his idea because he found an outbreak that was clearly related to cholera, collected information and was able to tie cases outside the area to the polluted water.

2 No. The map helped John Snow organize his ideas. He was able to identify those households that had had many deaths and check their water-drinking habits. He identified those houses that had had no deaths and surveyed their drinking habits. The evidence clearly pointed to the polluted water being the cause.

3 Three diseases, which are similar today, are SARS, AIDS and bird flu, because they are serious, have an unknown cause and need public health care to solve them.

?Sample summary for Exercise 3:

John Snow wanted to find the cause of cholera. He believed that people became ill after eating infected food. He used the next outbreak of cholera to test his idea. He studied a small area of houses which got their water from the same pump. Many people in the area died. John Snow showed that this was because the water in the pump was infected. He showed that cholera could be defeated if people drank clean water.

A GREAT CHINESE SCIENTIST

Father of the Chinese space programme

Yu Ping (YP) is talking to her friend Steve Smith (SS) about Qian Xuesen and his work as a rocket scientist.

Part 1

YP: What do you want to be when you grow up, Steve?

SS:I want to be an astronomer and visits stars. I wish to visit Mars one day.

YP:I think I’d like to work in the space industry too. I’d like to be a rocket scientist like Qian Xuesen.

SS:What did he have to do to become a rocket scientist?

YP:Well, he first studied at university to be an engineer. Later he went to America to study for his doctor’s degree. It was then he began to work on rockets.

SS:So it was lucky for our space programme that he came back to China.

YP:Very much so. There was no work on space rockets in China before he began his institute to design and build rockets to go into space.

Part 2

SS:Do you think he wanted to travel into space in one of his rockets?

YP:I have no idea but I believe he looked forward to the first space flight by a Chinese astronaut. SS:Yes. Now that China has sent satellites into space. I hope we’ll be the first to land on Mars. That would really be something special and if I were that astronaut I would put Qian Xuesen’s picture on Mars to show how much we admire his work.

YP:Indeed. He is rightfully called the father of the Chinese space programme. He is my hero and he is why I want to be a rocket scientist.

SS:Well, we’d better get on with our homework. We need good grades to get into university.

YP:Right you are. See you, then.

SS:See you.

Sample writing:

Dear Nicolaus Copernicus,

I am a student studying astronomy and I would very much like to read your new theory about the solar system. I hope you will publish it for several reasons.

I understand the problems with the present theory. The way the planets move is not what you

would expect if the earth was the centre of the universe. It is also odd that the brightness of some stars seems to change. So I agree with you that we need a new theory.

I know your observations have been very carefully carried out over many years. Now you must have the courage to publish them. Science can never advance unless people have the courage of their beliefs. I know you worry about what will happen if you publish your new theory. No matter how people oppose it, time will show whether your ideas are right or wrong.

So I hope you will feel you can publish your new theory.

Yours sincerely,

(your name)

Question 1: The United Kingdom consists of England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. More about this appears in the first reading passage.

Question 2: It takes ten hours to fly from Beijing to London Heathrow Airport if you take a direct flight.

Question 3: It may appear to an outsider that the Queen has an important role in ruling the country. However, this is not so. Her position is ceremonial: opening Parliament, welcoming Heads from other countries, going on tours to other countries to encourage trade with Britain, etc. The Prime Minister together with his most important ministers (called the Cabinet) and his Members of Parliament (each from a different part of the country) make the important political decisions and the laws.

Question 4: The counties of Britain are much smaller than provinces in China. They have local government powers for their area. Counties have several Members of Parliament depending on the size of their population. Large towns such as Reading have two MPs and the largest city in England outside London, which is Birming-

ham, has ten MPs.

Question 5: The Rivers Thames and Severn are very similar in length but the River Thames is slightly longer. The River Thames is 338 km and the River Severn is 290 km. The River Avon is much shorter.

CAN A ROYAL PALACE ALSO BE A PRISON?

Zhang Pingyu (ZP) is trying to find out more about the history of the Tower of London from a guide (G).

Part 1

G:The Tower was the home of the King but also a prison. Many important people were kept there. ZP:I beg your pardon? Can you speak more slowly, please?

G:Of course. Have you heard of “The Princes in the Tower”?

ZP:No, I’m afraid not.

G:These two princes were brothers, called Edward and Richard and they lived six hundred years ago. They came to London, for the older boy to become Edward Ⅴ, after his father, King Edward Ⅳ, died.

ZP:I see. How old was he?

G:He was only thirteen years old. His cruel uncle, also called Richard, was supposed to look after them both, but instead he had them killed while they were asleep.

ZP:What do you mean? He killed them himself?

G:No. He sent his men to kill them because he wanted to become King Richard Ⅲ. There is a story that on a dark night you can sometimes hear those princes crying.

ZP:You can hear them crying? Really? I thought you said they were killed many years ago.

G:Yes, but it’s only a story!

Part 2

ZP:Who else came to the Tower as a prisoner?

G:A future queen. In the 1550s Queen Mary sent her sister, Princess Elizabeth, to the Tower as a prisoner.

ZP:Strange! Why did she do that?

G:She thought Elizabeth was a traitor. So she sent Elizabeth through a special gate called “Traitors’ Gate”. That only hap pen-

ed to very bad people.

ZP:I’m sorry I don’t understand. How did Elizabeth become Queen if she was a prisoner?

G:Easy. Her brother and sister both died without children so Elizabeth became Queen Elizabeth Ⅰ. She tried not to be unfair to others when she was queen.

ZP:I’m glad to hear that.

? Answer key for Exercise 1:

1 Elizabeth later Queen Elizabeth Ⅰ.

2 King Henry Ⅷ.

3 Richard Ⅲ.

4 Edward Ⅴ and Richard.

? Answer key for Exercise 2:

Ticks for brothers Edward Ⅴ and Richard (sons of King Edward Ⅳ); King Edward Ⅳ;

Richard (later King Richard Ⅲ); Queen Mary; Elizabeth (later Queen Elizabeth Ⅰ);

? Answer key for Exercise 3:

1 Prince Edward (later Edward Ⅴ) was one of the princes murdered in the Tower. We know because:

? both were princes

? both were young boys

? their uncle was Richard who later became King Richard Ⅲ.

S1: Excuse me. Are you a guide?

S2:Yes, I am. Can I help you?

S1:Can I ask you a question about the Temple of Heaven?

S2:Of course. What do you want to know?

S1:What’s this Temple for?

S2:The Emperor came to pray for good crops and a good harvest for the country. He made offerings to the God and asked him for help.

S1:Please can you speak more slowly? I’m afraid I can’t follow you.

S2:I’m sorry. I’ll speak more slowly. This is the Hall where the Emperor made his sacrifices to the Gods. You may not go in but just look through the door.

S1:What did you mean by making sacrifices?

S2:He killed many animals after making prayers. He was also dressed in special clothes.

S1:I beg your pardon? Special clothes! I thought his clothes were always special! What were they? S2:They were clothes kept just for this occasion. He changed in a special yellow room and came

out to go to pray to the Gods.

S1:I see. When did this stop?

S2:When the Emperors stopped ruling China.

S1:Thank you. You have been most helpful.

LISTENING TEXT

CAN PEOPLE REALL Y LIVE ON MARS

LI Qiang(LQ) is interviewing Walker Hiller(WH) on the space station about his idea for building a new town called “Wonderworld” on Mars.

LQ: Well, Mr Hiller Why did you think of building a new town on Mars?

WH: It sounds astonishing, doesn’t it? I imagine that it’ll be difficult and the atmosphere, gravity, and climate will have to be just like the earth or nobody will travel there.

LQ: Can you imagine how that’ll be achieved?

WH: Yes, I think so. The atmosphere’s too hot and has no oxygen. So people couldn’t breathe Mars’ air and live. We’ll make a covered area for people to live in with a special air supply.

LQ: Is it likely you can find and use water to keep the climate similar to that on the earth?

WH: Perhaps. We hope there’s water under the planet’s surface. People will have to collect all the used water so it can be cleaned and recycled as rain. Then it can be used again to water plants and crops and provide clean drinking water.

LQ: Yes. I suppose everyone will have to put their dirty water in special tanks. Even animals will have to be trained to go to the toilet in special places.

WH: Yes, I suppose so.

LQ: So is it likely that bacteria will clean the water?

WH: Well, that’s a possibility.

LQ: I wonder if the houses can be made strong enough against the gravity on Mars?

WH: Yes, they can. The robots will provide special building material.

LQ: Still life sounds quite uncomfortable. So what’s the advantage of going to live on Mars? WH: There will be opportunities for scien-

tific work and to look for gold or other metals. So people may become rich or famous.

LQ: How healthy will the people be, I wonder?

?Answer key for Exercise 1:

Ticks for: living on another planet, atmos-

phere and gravity, how to get water on Mars, houses in a town on Mars

?Suggested answers to Exercise 2:

1 “Wonderworld” will provide a covered area for people to li ve in with a special air supply.

2 “Wonderworld” will make sure there is enough water by collecting some from under the planet’s surface. After use, this water will be cleaned and recycled so that it can be used as rain to water drops and provide clean drinking water. Everyone will put their dirty water in special tanks and animals will have to go to the toilet in special places. Bacteria will clean this dirty water so it can be used again.

3 People may become rich or famous.

4 I think the people will be quite healthy as they have a satisfactory climate, enough water and sufficient accommodation to live comfortably.

Speaking and writing

Sample dialogue:

S1: What problems do you think our home-

town will have one thousand years in the future?

S2: Is it possible life will be better than it is now?

S1: Yes, of course. Probably everyone will be more comfortable. They’ll be provided technological improvements and the robots.

S2: Oh I see. Is it possible that people will have solved the problems of today—global warming,

air and water pollution, etc?

S1: Most likely they will. For example, dirty air. It would be easy to solve that. All you would need to do is build a cover over the city. All the air inside would be kept clean.

S2: That sounds fine but is it likely the temperature will be too hot for us to live on the earth?

S1: Maybe, but I’m sure someone will have invented clothes with cooling systems fitted into them. Perhaps everyone will have a machine which pushes water round the body and keeps you cool.

S2: Wow! Can you imagine what life will be like when the energy runs out?

S1: Oh, that will be solved by using the energy from the sun.Don’t worry. I’m sure we’d enjoy a visit if we could ever visit the future! And now we’ve had our four questions. Let’s find anot her pair to discuss their questions.

Sample writing:

The benefits and problems of living

one thousand years in the future

I think there will be more benefits than problems living in the future. Of course things will be different and there may be many problems.

If there is dirty air we will solve that by placing a cover over our hometown. That way we can clean the air as it enters the town, and keep out all the dust and dirt.

If it is too hot people will be provided with suits fitted with cooling systems. That way they will keep cool all the time.

As for the problem of the energy running out that we face today. That will be solved by using the energy from the sun to run all the electrical plants as well as cars. Luckily it will be endless clean energy!

So we think that life in the future will be much better than it is now.

?Suggested answers to Exercise 2:

1 He took money but act badly in a film.

2 He lied about getting drunk at a restaurant.

3 He stole something from a shop and lied about it.

4 He said some rude remarks about his ex-girlfriend to a journalist.

Sample discussion:

S1: Let’s think about what this person might have done?

S2: I know! Perhaps he was a film star and stole from a shop. But then he pretended he hadn’t.

S3: That’s a good idea. What do you think he would steal?

S4: Perhaps a gold necklace for his wife.

S2: But how could he pretend he had not done that if someone saw him?

S1: He could pretend it was not him but somebody else they saw.

S3: But when Li Ming checked his alibi he found the man was lying. Good—a great scoop.

S1: Right. So what should our heading be?

S4: Can it be “A film star caught unexpectedly?”

S3: Yes and the sub-heading could be “Did he need the money?”

S2: So let’s begin. Let’s write our ideas down first and then we will be ready to do the article. Sample article:

A Film Star Caught Unexpectedly

Did he need the money?

There has been a strange happening in a downtown shopping area. It has been said that a famous film star, Wang Ping, was caught stealing a gold necklace yesterday. He went into a shop and when the jeweler turned his back Wang Ping took the necklace and ran out of the shop. The shopkeeper shouted and a crowd of people gathered. The police went to Wang Ping’s home and questioned him. He denied he had stolen the necklace and told them he had enough money to buy the necklace anyway. He said he had been at a restaurant with his wife. But a reporter, Li Ming, found this was untrue. So the police are treating this case seriously.

Listening and speaking

LISTENING TEXT

CAN I HELP YOU?

Zhou Yang (ZY) is hoping to interview Liu Ming, a famous tennis player, about his decision to work abroad. So he calls Liu Ming’s assistant, Lily Wong (LM), to make an appointment.

Part 1

(Telephone ringing)

LW: Hello. This is Lily Wong, Liu Ming’s assistant. Can I help you?

ZY: Hello. I’d like to speak to Liu Ming please.

LM: I’m sorry but he’s busy now. Who’s speaking?

ZY: This is Zhou Yang from China Daily. I’d like to interview Liu Ming about his decision to play professional tennis abroad.

LW: It’ll be difficult. You know that he’s lea ving Beijing at the end of this week.

ZY: Well, I’m free tomorrow afternoon and all of Wednesday.

LW: OK. Now, let me see...Liu Ming’s going to see his family tomorrow and then talk to some

students on Wednesday morning. Then at four o’clock he’ll go to a special party given by the leaders of our city. What about meeting his in the early afternoon?

ZY: How about over lunch? Our readers will be very interested in his views.

LW: Hmm... I know that he’s very happy about going abroad and hopes to return to Chin a in a few years. Then he wants to improve Chinese tennis.

Part 2

ZY: Many of his fans will be sorry not to see him play in person. Watching him on TV is not quite the same.

LW: Yes, I understand, but he needs to develop his skills. On TV you can still enjoy his play. ZY: What if he never comes home? We’ll have lost a great sportsman.

LW: I don’t think that he’ll stay abroad. He says that he has no intention of doing that.

ZY: I’m glad to hear that. But what if he gets a wonderful offer to stay?

LW: I think you’ll have to discuss that with him yourself.

ZY: So will 12 o’clock be OK? Where would be the best place to meet?

LW: Why not meet at the Garden Hotel at 12 o’clock. I’ll put it in his diary for Wednesday so he’s sure to come.

ZY: Thank you so much. Goodbye.

LW: Goodbye.

3 Make a list of three or four of the most likely on the board. Then listen to the tape for the first time and see if any of the ideas are included.

?Answer key for Exercise 2:

Perhaps I can help. I’m Li Feizhou’s secretary. I’m afraid he can only meet you tomorrow afternoon as he has a haircut in the morning. Is that OK?

S1: Oh dear. I was hoping he would be free in the morning as I have another appointment then. It should only take two hours. Maybe we could meet before or after his appointment?

S2: Yes. That might be possible. But he’s busy between 9:00 and 10:30 and then between 11:30 and 1:00 but he might be free for an hour between 10:30 and 11:30.

S1: I don’t think that’s long enough. Could he change his other appointment to another day?

S2: I don’t think so.

S1: Then could he be free at 10:00? We could do the photographs and I would still be on time for my next appointment.

S2: That sounds possible. I’ll ask him. What would he need to wear?

S1: Some comfortable clothes would be best.

S2: Fine. I’ll talk to him and call you again very soon. Where would it be best to meet?

S1: At the studio if that is OK with you. Thank you very much.

S2: My pleasure.

Unit 5

COMPREHENDING

?Answer key for Exercise 1:

3 the three types of burns

5 what to do if someone gets burnt

1 the functions of skin

4 the symptoms of burns

2 how we get burns

?Answer key for Exercise 2:

A second degree burn

B first degree burn

C third degree burn

?Answer key for Exercise 3:

1 Because the cold water stops the burning process, stops the pain and reduces the swelling.

2 Because in a third degree burn the nerves have been damaged. If there are no nerves, there is no pain.

3 Because bacteria from the clothes and jewellery could infect the burns.

4 Because all the layers of the skin have been burnt showing the tissue underneath.

?Answer key for Exercise 4:

1 Wrong: Sam should not have broken the blisters because the burns could become infected. He should have poured cool water, not icy water on the burn. The correct treatment for a second degree burn like Sa m’s is described in No

2 of the exercise.

2 Right.

3 Wrong: Mr Casey was right to take his wife’s blouse off but he should not have picked bits of

blouse off the burn. This is because if you pull material that is stuck off a third degree burn like Mrs Case y’s, you would pull the tissue under the material off too. This would cause more damage to the burn. He should not have put butter on the burn because it would have stopped the heat from escaping and it might also cause the burn to become infected. He should not have put a wet bandage on the burn. The correct first aid treatment for a third degree burn is to remove clothing and jewellery near the burn but not if the clothing is stuck to the burn. Do not put cold water on the burn. Place clean, dry cloths over the damaged area. Get the person to a hospital at once.

4 Right.

Discovering useful structures

?Answer key for Exercise 1:

1 Often the illness or injury is not serious, but there are other times when (the illness or injury is serious and) giving first aid quickly can save lives.

2 Burns are called first (degree burns), second (degree burns) or third degree burns,...

3 These affect both the top (layer of the skin) and the second layer of the skin.

?Answer key for Exercise 2:

The difference between Sentence A and Sentence B:

There are lots of repeated words and phrases in Sentence A.

Sentence B is better than Sentence A because it doesn’t have unnecessary repet i-

tion in it, and it is easier to understand and it sounds much less awkward than sentence A.

?Answer key for Exercise 3:

1 The burn she got from the iron was red and very painful.

2 A boy was on the left side of the sick woman, and a girl on the right.

3 She has a daughter in hospital.

高中人教版英语必修五课本答案

教材练习答案及听力原文 Unit 1 WARMING UP ?Answers: 1 Archimedes, Ancient Greek (287-21 2 BC) He was a mathematician. He found that if you put an object into water the water pushes the object up. It rises and partly floats. The force of the water pushing it up is the same as the weight of the object. 2 Charles Darwin, British (1808-1882) The Origin of Species was published in 1859. It explained how plants and animals had changed over time to fit in with a changing environment. At the time it was published it was very controversial. Many people believed the Bible when it said that God made the first two people (Adam and Eve) and that all other people came from these two. Darwin’s book showed that people had developed from apes instead. So this caused a lot of ar gument between religious and scientific people. However Darwin’s idea became very influential and is still accepted today. 3 Thomas Newcomen, British (1663-1729) He improved the first steam pump built by Thomas Savery in 1698 and turned it into a steam engine for taking water out of mines in 1712. James Watt improved it still further in the 1770s turning it into the first modern steam engine used on the railways. 4 Gregor Mendel, Czech (1822-1884) He grew pea plants and developed ideas on heredity and inherited characteristics. He concentrated on cross-fertilising pea plants and analyzing the results. Between 1856-1863 he grew 28,000 pea plants. He examined seven kinds of seed and plant characteristics and developed some laws of inheritance. The first is that inheritance factors do not combine but are passed to the next generation intact. Second, he found that each partner gives half the inherited factors to the young. Third, some of these factors show up in the offspring (and so are dominant). The other factors are masked by the dominant ones (and so are recessive). 5 Marie Curie, Polish and French (1867-1934) She was born in Poland and came to study in France in 1891 and she lived there for the rest of her life. In 1898 she discovered radium. She received two Nobel prizes, one (with Pierre Curie) for physics (1903) and one for chemistry (1911). She is the only person to have been so honoured. On the death of her husband she took over his job at the Sorbonne in Paris. Her work on radioactivity and the discovery of radium meant that she began a new scientific area of research. She was the first woman to receive a Nobel Prize and the first woman to teach at the Sorbonne. 6 Thomas Edison, American (1847-1931) He was already an inventor of other electrical devices (phonograph, electric light bulb) when in 1882 he designed a system for providing New York with electricity from a central power station. This was a tremendous achievement, which had previously been thought impossible.

So many thousand s of terrified people died every time there was an outbreak. John Snow wanted t o face the challenge and solve this problem. He knew that cholera would never b e controlled until its cause was found. He became interested in two theories that possibly explained how cholera ki lled people.

As the disease spread quickly through poor neighbourhoods, he began to gat her information. In two particular streets, the cholera outbreak was so severe that more than 500 people died in ten days. He was determined to find out why. First he marked on a map the exact places where all the dead people had liv ed. This gave him a valuable clue about the cause of the disease. Many of the d eaths were near the water pump in Broad Street (especially numbers 16, 37, 38 a nd 40).

He discovered that these people worked in the pub at 7 Cambridge Street. They had been given free beer and so had not drunk the water from the pump. It seemed that the water was to blame. Next, John Snow looked into the source of the water for these two streets. He found that it came from the river polluted by the dirty water from London. H e immediately told the astonished people in Broad Street to remove the handle f rom the pump so that it could not be used. Soon afterwards the disease slowed d own. He had shown that cholera was spread by germs and not in a cloud of gas. In another part of London, he found supporting evidence from two other deat hs that were linked to the Broad Street outbreak. A woman, who had moved away f rom Broad Street, liked the water from the pump so much that she had it deliver ed to her house every day.

-必修 5 Unit 2 The United Kingdom Reading PUZZLES IN GEOGRAPHY People may wonder why different words are used to describe these four countries: England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. You can clarify this question if you study British history. First there was England. Wales was linked to it in the thirteenth century. Now when people refer to England you find Wales included as well. Next England and Wales were joined to Scotland in the seventeenth century and the name was changed to "Great Britain". Happily this was accomplished without conflict when King James of Scotland became King of England and Wales as well. Finally the English government tried in the early twentieth century to form the United Kingdom by getting Ireland connected in the same peaceful way. However, the southern part of Ireland was unwilling and broke away to form its own government. So only Northern Ireland joined with England, Wales and Scotland to become the United Kingdom and this was shown to the world in a new flag called the Union Jack. To their credit the four countries do work together in some areas (eg, the currency and international relations), but they still have very different institutions. For example, Northern Ireland, England and Scotland have different educational and legal systems as well as different football teams for competitions like the World Cup! England is the largest of the four countries, and for convenience it is divided roughly into three zones. The zone nearest France is called the South of England, the middle zone is called the Midlands and the one nearest to Scotland is known as the North. You find most of the population settled in the south, but most of the industrial cities in the Midlands and the North of England. Although, nationwide, these cities are not as large as those in China, they have world-famous football teams and some of them even have two! It is a pity that the industrial cities built in the nineteenth century do not attract visitors. For historical architecture you have to go to older but smaller towns built by the Romans. There you will find out more about British history and culture. The greatest historical treasure of all is London with its museums, art collections, theatres, parks and buildings. It is the centre of national

外研社必修五课文reading-原文

Module 1 British and American English Words, words, words British and American English are different in many ways. The first and most obvious way is in the vocabulary. There are hundreds of different words which are not used on the other side of the Atlantic, or which are used with a different meaning. Some of these words are well known — Americans drive automobiles down freeways and fill up with gas; the British drive cars along motorways and fill up with petrol. As a tourist, you will need to use the underground in London or the subway in New York, or maybe you will prefer to get around the town by taxi (British) or ca b (American). Chips or French fries? But other words and expressions are not so well known. Americans use a flashlight, while for the British, it's a torch. The British queue up; Americans stand in line. Sometimes the same word has a slightly different meaning, which can be confusing. Chips, for example, are pieces of hot fried potato in Britain; in the States chips are very thin and are sold in packets. The British call these crisps. The chips the British know and love are French fries on the other side of the Atlantic. Have or have got? There are a few differences in grammar, too. The British say Have you got ...? while Americans prefer Do you have ...? An American might say My friend just arrived, but a British person would say My friend has just arrived. Prepositions, too, can be different: compare on the team, on the weekend (American) with in the team, at the weekend (British). The British use prepositions where Americans sometimes omit them (I'll see you Monday; Write me soon!). Colour or color? The other two areas in which the two varieties differ are spelling and pronunciation. American spelling seems simpler: center, color and program instead of centre, colour and programme. Many factors have influenced American pronunciation since the first settlers arrived four hundred years ago. The accent, which is most similar to British English, can be heard on the East Coast of the US. When the Irish writer George Bernard Shaw made the famous remark that the British and the Americans are two nations divided by a common language, he was obviously thinking about the differences. But are they really so important? After all, there is probably as much variation of pronunciation within the two countries as between them. A Londoner has more difficulty understanding a Scotsman from Glasgow than understanding a New Yorker. Turn on the TV Some experts believe that the two varieties are moving closer together. For more than a century communications across the Atlantic have developed steadily. Since the 1980s, with satellite TV and the Internet, it has been possible to listen to British and American English at the flick of a switch. This non-stop communication, the experts think, has made it easier for British people and Americans to understand each other. But it has also led to lots of American words and structures passing into British English, so that some people now believe that British English will disappear. However, if you turn on CNN, the American TV network, you find newsreaders and weather forecasters all speaking with different accents — American, British, Australian, and even Spanish. One of the best-known faces, Monita Rajpal, was born in Hong Kong, China, and grew up speaking Chinese and Punjabi, as well as English. This international dimension suggests that in the future, there are going to be many "Englishes", not just two main varieties. But the message is "Don't worry." Users of English will all be able to understand each other — wherever they are.
