必修1 第一单元Reading 阅读ANNE’S BEST FRIEND

Do you want a friend whom you could tell everything to, like your deepest feel ings and thoughts? Or are you afraid that your friend would laugh at you, or would not understand what you are going through? Anne Frank wanted the first kind, so she made her diary her best friend.

安妮最好的朋友

你想不想有一位无话不谈能推心置腹的朋友?或者你会不会担心你的朋友会嘲笑你,会不理解你目前的困境呢?安妮?弗兰克想要的是第一种类型的朋友,所以她把的日记视为自己最好的朋友。

Anne lived in Amsterdam in the Netherlands during World War II. Her family w as Jewish so the had to hide or they would be caught by the German Nazis. She and her family hide away for two years before they were discovered. During that t ime the only true friend was her diary. She said, “I don’t want to set down a serie s of facts in a diary as most people do, but I want this diary itself to be my friend, and I shall call my friend Kitty.” Now read how she felt after being in the hiding p lace since July 1942.

在第二次世界大战期间,安妮住在荷兰的阿姆斯特丹。她一家人都是犹太人,所以他们不得不躲藏起来,否则就会被德国的纳粹分子抓去。她和她的家人躲藏了25个月之后才被发现。在那段时期,她的日记成了她唯一忠实的朋友。她说:“我不愿像大多数人那样在日记中记流水账。我要把我的日记当作自己的朋友,我把我的这个朋友叫做基蒂。”现在,来看看安妮自1942年7月起躲进藏身处后的那种心情吧。

Thursday 15, June, 1944

Dear kitty,

I wonder if it’s because I haven’t been able to be outdoors for so long that I’v e grown so crazy about everything to do with nature. I can well remember that the re was a time when a deep blue sky, the song of the birds, moonlight and flowers could never have kept me spellbound. That’s changed since I was here.

…For example, when it was so warm, I stayed awake on purpose until half pa st eleven one evening in order to have a good look at the moon for once by mys elf. But as the moon gave far too much light, I didn’t dare open a window. Anothe r time some months ago, I happened to be upstairs one evening when the window was open. I didn’t go downstairs until the window had to be shut. The dark, rainy evening, the wind, the thundering clouds held me entirely in their power; it was th e first time in a year and a half that I’d seen the night face to face…

…Sadly…I am only able to look at nature through dirty curtains hanging before very dusty windows. It’s no pleasure looking through these any longer because na ture is one thing that really must be experienced.

Yours,

Anne

1944年6月15日,星期四

亲爱的基蒂:

我不知道这是不是因为我太久无法出门的缘故,我变得对一切与大自然有关的事物都无比狂热。我记得非常清楚,以前,湛蓝的天空、鸟儿的歌唱、月光和鲜花,从未令我心迷神往过。自从我来到这里之后,这一切都变了。

……比如说,有一天晚上天气很暖和,我故意熬到晚上11点半都不睡觉,为的就是能独自好好地看看月亮。但是因为月光太亮了,我都不敢打开窗户。还有一次,就在五个月以前的一个晚上,我碰巧在楼上,窗户是开着的,我一直呆到非关窗不可的时候才下楼去。漆黑的雨夜,刮着大风,电闪雷鸣,乌云滚滚,我完全被这种景象镇住了。这是我一年半以来第一次亲眼目睹的夜晚……

……不幸的是……我只能透过那满是灰尘的窗帘下那脏兮兮的窗户看看大自然。只能隔着窗户看那大自然实在没意思,因为大自然是需要真正体验的东西。

你的安妮

第二单元Reading 阅读THE ROAD TO MODERN ENGLISH At the end of the 16th century, about five to seven million people spoke Englis h. Nearly all of them lived in England. Later in the next century, people from Engla nd made voyages to conquer other parts of the world and because of that, English began to be spoken in many other countries. Today, more people speak English as their first, second or foreign language than ever before.

通向现代英语之路

在16世纪末,大约有五至七百万人讲英语。几乎所有这些讲英语的人都住在英格兰。在其后的一个世纪中,英格兰人为征服世界航海到了世界其他一些地方,结果世界的其他地方的人们也开始说英语了。今天,把英语作为自己的第一语言、第二语言或外语来使用的人比以往任何时候都多。

Native English speakers can understand each other even if they don’t speak th e same kind of English. Look at this example:

British Betty: Would you like to see my flat?

American Amy: Yes, I’d like to come up to your apartment.

以英语作为母语的人,即使他们所讲不是同一种英语,他们也能彼此听懂。请看看这个例子:

英国人贝蒂:来看看我的公寓吗?

美国人艾米:好的,我来看看你的公寓吧。

So why has English changed over time? Actually all languages change and de velop when cultures meet and communicate with each other. At first the English sp oken in England between about AD 450 and 1150 was very different from the Engl ish spoken today. It was based more on German than the English we speak at pr esent. Then gradually between about AD 800 and 1150, English became less like German because those who ruled England spoken first Danish and later French. T hese new settlers enriched the English language and especially its vocabulary. So by the 1600’s Shakespeare was able to make use of a wider vocabulary than ever before. In 1620 some British settlers moved to America. Later in the 18th century some British people were taken to Australia too. English began to be spoken in b oth countries.

那么,随着时间的推移英语为什么发生了变化呢?实际上,当不同文化相互交流渗透时,所有的语言都会有所发展和变化。开始,英格兰人在大约公元450年到1150年之间所说的英语与我们今天所说的英语很不一样。当时的英语更多的是以德语为基础的,不像我们现在说的英语。后来,大约在公元800年至1150年之间,英语慢慢变得不那么像德语,因为统治英格兰的那些人开始是说丹麦语,后来说法语。这些新来的定居者丰富了英语语言,尤其是丰富了英语词汇。所以到17世纪初的时候,莎士比亚能够得以使用比以往任何时候都丰富的词汇。1620年一些英国定居者来到了美洲,后来到了18世纪的时候,一些英国人还被带到了澳大利亚。英语也就开始在这两个国家使用。

Finally by the 19th century the language was settled. At that time two big cha nges in English spelling happened: first Samuel Johnson wrote his dictionary and l ater Noah Webster wrote The American Dictionary of the English Language. The la tter gave a separate identity to American English spelling.

最后到19世纪的时候,英语这种语言就变得稳定了。当时,英语的拼写发生了两个很大的变化:先是塞缪尔?约翰逊编写了他的英语词典,后是诺亚?韦伯斯特出版了《美国英语词典》。后者使得美式英语的拼写有了其独特的个性。

English now is also spoken as a foreign or second language in South Asia. F or example, India has a very large number of fluent English speakers because Brit ain ruled India from 1765 to 1947. During that time English became the language f or government and education. English is also spoken in Singapore and Malaysia a nd countries in Africa such as South Africa. Today the number of people learning English in China is increasing rapidly. In fact, China may have the largest number of English learners. Will Chinese English develop its own identity? Only time will tel l.

现在英语在南亚地区也被作为外语或第二语言使用。比如,印度就有很多人说英语说得很流利,因为在1765年到1947年之间英国统治着印度。在此期间,英语成了印度政府和教育所用的语言。在新加坡和马来西亚以及像非洲的南非,人们现在也说英语。当今,在中国学英语的人数正在快速增加,事实上,中国可能是学英语人数最多的国家。中国式英语是否也能发展成一种具有自己独特个性的语言?这还有待时间去证明。

STANDARD ENGLISH AND DIALECTS

What is standard English? Is it spoken in Britain, the US, Canada, Australia, In dia and New Zealand? Believe it or not, there is no such thing as standard Englis h. Many people believe the English spoken on TV and the radio is standard Englis h. This is because in the early days of radio, those who reported the news were e

xpected to speak excellent English. However, on TV and the radio you will hear dif ferences in the way people speak.

When people use words and expressions different form “standard language”, it is called a dialect. American English has many dialects, especially the midwestern, southern, African American and Spanish dialects. Even in some parts of the USA, t wo people from neighbouring towns speak a little differently. American English has so many dialects because people have come from all over the world.

Geography also plays a part in making dialects. Some people who live in the mountains of the eastern USA speak with an older kind of English dialect. When A mericans moved form one place to another, they took their dialects with them. So people from the mountains in the southeastern USA speak with almost the same di alect as people in the northwestern USA. The USA is a large country in which ma ny different dialects are spoken. Although many Americans move a lot, they still re cognize and understand each other’s dialects.

什么是标准英语?是在英国、美国、加拿大、澳大利亚、印度、新西兰所说的英语吗?信不信由你,(世界上)没有什么标准英语。许多人认为,电视和收音机里所说的英语就是标准英语,这是因为在早期的电台节目里,人们期望新闻播音员所说的英语是最好的英语。然而,在电视和收音机里,你也会听出人们在说话时的差异。

当人们使用不同于“标准语言”的词语和表达时,那就叫做方言。美国英语有许多方言,特别是中西部地区和南部地区的方言,以及美国黑人和西班牙人的方言。即使在美国有些地区,两个相邻城镇的人所说的方言也可能稍有不同。美国英语之所以有这么多的方言是因为美国人是来自世界各地的缘故。

地理位置对方言的形成也有所影响。住在美国东部山区的一些人说着比较古老的英语方言。当美国人从一个地方搬到另一个地方时,他们也就把他们的方言随着带去了。因此,美国东南部山区的人同美国西北部的人所说的方言就几乎相同。美国是一个大国,有着许许多多彼此不同的方言。虽然许多美国人经常搬家,但是他们仍然能够辨别和理解彼此的方言。

第三单元Travel journal JOURNEY DOWN THE MEKONG

PART 1 THE DREAM AND THE PLAN

My name is Wang Kun. Ever since middle school, my sister Wang Wei and I have dreamed about taking a great bike trip. Two years ago she bought an expen sive mountain bike and then she persuaded me to buy one. Last year, she visited our cousins, Dao Wei and Yu Hang at their college in Kunming. They are Dai and grew up in western Yunnan Province near the Lancang River, the Chinese part of the river that is called the Mekong River in other countries. Wang Wei soon got t hem interested in cycling too. After graduating from college.we finally got the chanc e to take a bike trip. I asked my sister, "Where are we going?" It was my sister w ho first had the idea to cycle along the entire Mekong River from where it begins t o where it ends. Now she is planning our schedule for the trip.

I am fond of my sister but she has one serious shortcoming. She can be reall y stubborn. Although she didn't know the best way of getting to places, she insiste

d that sh

e organize the trip properly. Now, I know that the proper way is always h er way. I kept asking her, "When are we leaving and when are we coming back?"

I asked her whether she had looked at a map yet. Of course, she hadn't; my sist er doesn't care about details. So I told her that the source of the Mekong is in Qi nghai Province. She gave me a determined look—the kind that said she would not change her mind. When I told her that our journey would begin at an altitude of more than 5,000 metres, she seemed to be excited about it. When I told her the a ir would be hard to breathe and it would be very cold, she said it would be an int eresting experience. I know my sister well. Once she has made up her mind, nothi ng can change it. Finally, I had to give in.

Several months before our trip,Wang Wei and I went to the library. We found a large atlas with good maps that showed details of world geography. From the atl as we could see that the Mekong River begins in a glacier on a Tibetan mountain. At first the river is small and the water is clear and cold. Then it begins to move quickly. It becomes rapids as it passes through deep valleys, travelling across we stern Yunnan Province. Sometimes the river becomes a waterfall and enters wide v alleys. We were both surprised to learn that half of the river is in China. After it le aves China and the high altitude,the Mekong becomes wide,brown and warm. As i t enters Southeast Asia, its pace slows. It makes wide bends or meanders through low valleys to the plains where rice grows. At last, the river delta enters the Sout h China Sea.

沿湄公河而下的旅行

第一部分梦想与计划

我的名字叫王坤。从高中起,我姐姐和我就一直梦想作一次伟大的自行车旅行。两年前,她买了一辆价钱昂贵的山地自行车,然后她还说服我也买了一辆。去年她去看望了我们的表兄弟—在昆明读大学的刀伟和宇航。他们是傣族人,在云南省西部靠近澜沧江的地方长大,湄公河在中国境内的这一段叫澜沧江,流经其他国家后就叫湄公河。很快,王薇使表兄弟也对骑车旅行产生了兴趣。到大学毕业后,我们终于有了作一次骑车旅行的机会。我问姐姐:“我们要去哪里?”首先想到要沿湄公河从源头到终点骑车旅行的是我的姐姐。现在,她正为这次旅行制订计划。

我很喜欢我姐姐,但是她有一个严重的缺点,她有时确实很固执。尽管她对到某些地方的最佳路线并不清楚,她却坚持要把这次旅行安排的尽善尽美。现在我知道了这个尽善尽美的方式总是她的方式。我老是问她:“我们什么时候动身?什么时候回来?”我问她是否已经看过地图。当然她并没有看过,我的姐姐是不会考虑细节的。于是我告诉她湄公河的源头在青海省。她给了我一个坚定的眼神—这种眼神表明她是不会改变主意的。当我告诉她我们的旅行将从5000多米的的高地出发时,她似乎显得很兴奋。当我告诉她那里空气稀薄,呼吸会很困难,而且天气会很冷时,她却说这将是一次很有趣的经历。我非常了解我的姐姐,她一旦下了决心,就什么也不能使她改变。最后,我只好让步了。

在我们旅行前的几个月,王薇和我去了图书馆。我们找到了一本大型的地图册,里面有一些世界地理的明细图。我们从图上可以看到,湄公河源于西藏一座山上的冰川。起初,河很小,河水清澈而冷冽,然后它开始快速流动。它穿过深谷时就变成了急流。流经云南西部。有时,这条河形成瀑布进入宽阔的峡谷。我们惊奇的发现这条河有一半是在中国境内。当流出中国,流出高地后,湄公河就变宽,变暖了。河水也变成了黄褐色。而当它进入东南亚以后,流速减慢,河水变宽慢慢地穿过低谷,到了长着稻谷的平原。最后,湄公河三角洲的各支流流入中国南海。

PART 2 A NIGHT IN THE MOUNTAINS

Although it was autumn, the snow was already beginning to fall in Tibet.Our le gs were so heavy and cold that they felt like blocks of ice. Have you ever seen s nowmen ride bicycles? That's what we looked like! Along the way children dressed in long wool coats stopped to look at us. In the late afternoon we found it was s o cold that our water bottles froze.However,the lakes shone like glass in the setting sun and looked wonderful.Wang Wei rode in front of me as usual.She is very reli able and I knew I did't need to encourage her.To climb the mountains was hard w ork but as we looked around us,we were surprised by the view.We seemed to be able to see for miles.At one point we were so high that we found ourselves cyclin g through clouds.Then we began going down the hills.It was great fun especially a s it gradually became much warmer.In the valleys colourful butterflies flew around u s and we saw many yaks and sheep eating green grass.At this point we had to c hange our caps,coats,gloves and trousers for T-shirts and shorts.

In the early evening we always stop to make camp.We put up our tent and th en we eat.After supper Wang Wei put her head down on her pillow and went to sl eep but I stayed awake.At midnight the sky became clearer and the stars grew bri ghter. It was so quiet.There was almost no wind-only the flames of our fire for co mpany.As I lay beneath the stars I thought about how far we had already travelle d.

We will reach Dali in Yunnan Province soon,where our cousins Dao Wei and Yu Hang will join us.We can hardly wait to see them!

Unit 4 Earthquakes Reading A NIGHT THE EARTH DIDN'T SLEEP

Strange things were happening in the countryside of northeast Hebei.For three days the water in the village wells rose and fell,rose and fell.Farmers noticed that t he well walls had deep cracks in them.A smelly gas came out of the cracks.In the farmyards,the chickens and even the pigs were too nervois to eat.Mice ran out of the fields looking for places to hide.Fish jumped out of their bowls and ponds.At a bout 3:00 am on july 28,1976,some people saw bright lights in the sky.The sound of planes could be heard outside the city of Tangshan even when no planes were in the sky.In the city,the water pipes in some buildings cracked and burst.but the o ne million people of the city,who thiught little of these events,were asleep as usual that night.

At 3:42 am everything began to shake.It seemed as if the world was at an en d!Eleven kilometres directly below the city the greatest earthquake of the 20th cent ury had begun.It was felt in Beijing,which is more than two hundred kilometres awa y.One-third of the nation felt it.A huge crack that was eight kilometres long and thir ty metres wide cut across houses,roads and canals.Steam burst from holes in the ground.Hard hills of rock became rivers of dir.In fifteen terrible seconds a large city lay in ruins.The suffering of the people was extreme.Two-thirds of them died or w ere left without parents.The number of people who were killed or injured reached more than 400,000.

But how could the survivors believe it was natural?Everywhere they looked nea rly everything was destroyed.All of the city's hospitals,75%of its factories and buildin gs and 90% of its homes were gone.Bricks covered the ground like red autumn le aves.No wind,however,could blow them away.Two dams fell and most of the bridge s also fell or were not safe for travelling.The railway tracks were now useless piec es of steel.Tens of thousands of cows would never give milk again.Half a million oi

gs and millions of chickens were dead.Sand now filled the wells instead of water.P eople were shocked.Then,later that afternoon,another big quake which was almost as strong as the first one shook Tangshan.Some of the rescue workers and doctor s were trapped under the ruins.More buildings fell down.Water,food,and electricity w ere hard to get.people begab to wonder how long the disaster would last.

All hope was not lost.Soon after the quakes,the army sent 150,000 soldiers to Tangshan to help the rescue workers.Hundreds of thousands of people were helpe d.The army organized teams to dig out those who were trapped and to bury the d ead.To the north of the city,most of the 10,000 miners were rescued from the coal mines there.Workers built shelters for survivors whose homes had been destroyed. Fresh water was taken to the city bu train,truck and plane.Slowly,the city began to breathe again.

Unit 5ELIAS’ STORY

My name is Elias. I am a poor black worker in South Africa. The time when I first met Nelson Mandela was a very difficult period of my life. I was twelve years old. It was in 1952 and Mandela was the black lawyer to whom I went for advice. He offered guidance to poor black people on their legal problems. He was genero us with his time, for which I was grateful.

I needed his help because I had very little education. I began school at six. T he school where I studied for only two years was three kilometers away. I had to l eave because my family could not continue to pay the school fees and the bus far e. I could not read or write well. After trying hard, I got a job in a gold mine. How ever, this was a time when one had got to have a passbook to live in Johannesbu rg. Sadly I did not have it because I was not born there, and I worried about whet her I would become out of work.

The day when Nelson Mandela helped me was one of my happiest. He told m y how to get the correct papers so I could stay in Johannesburg. I became more

hopeful about my future. I never forgot how kind Mandela was. When he organized the ANC Youth League, I joined it as soon as I could. He said:

“The last thirty years have seen the greatest number of laws stopping our right s and progress, until today we have reached a stage where we have almost no rig hts at all.”

It was the truth. Black people could not vote or choose their leaders. They co uld not get the jobs they wanted. The parts of town in which they had to live were decided by white people. The places outside the towns where they were sent to li ve were the poorest parts of South Africa. No one could grow food there. In fact a s Nelson Mandela said:

“…we were put into a position in which we had either to accept we were less important or fight the government. We chose to attack the laws. We first broke th e law in a way which was peaceful; when this was not allowed…only then did we decide to answer violence with violence.

As a matter of fact, I do not like violence…but in 1963 I helped him blow up some government buildings. It was very dangerous because if I was caught I could be put in prison. But I was happy to help because I knew it would help us achie ve our dream of making black and white people equal.

THE REST OF ELIAS' STORY

You cannot imagine how the name of Robben Island made us afraid. It was a prison from which no one escaped. There I spent the hardest time of my life. But when I got there Nelsom Mandela was also there and he helped me. Mr Mandela began a school for those of us who had little learning. He taught us during the lu

nch breaks and the evenings when we should have been asleep. We read books under our blankets and used anything we could find to make candles to see the w ords. I became a good student. I wanted to study for my degree but I was not all owed to do that. Later, Mr Mandela allowed the prison guards to join us. He said t hey should not be stopped from studying for their degrees. They were not cleverer than me , but they did pass their exams. So I knwe I could get a degree too. Th at made me feel good about myself.

When I finished the four years in prison, I went to find a job. Since I was bett er educated, I got a job working in an office. However, the police found out and to ld my boss that I had been in prinson for blowing up government buildings. So I l ost my job. I did not work again for twenty years until M r Mandela and the ANC came to power in 1994. All that time my wife and children had to beg for good an d help from relatives or friends. Luckily Mr Mandela remembered me and gave me a job taking tourists around my old prison on Robben Islannd. I felt bad the first t ime I talked to a group. All the terror and fear of that time came back to me. I re membered the beatings and the cruelty of the guards and my friends who had die d. I felt I would not be able to do it, but my family encouraged me. They said that the job and the pay from the new South African government were my reward afte r working all my life for equal rights for the Blacks. So now at 51 I am proud to s how visitors over the prison, for I helped to make our people free in their own lan d.

Frederick William Ⅰ,the King of Prussia , could never have imagined that his greatest gift to the Russian people would have such an amazing history . This gift was the Amber Room , which was given this name because several tons of amber were used to make it . The amber which was selected had a beautiful yellow-brown colour like honey . The design of the room was in the fancy style popular in those days . It was also a treasure decorated with gold and jewels , which took the country's best artists about ten years to make . In fact , the room was not made to be a gift . It was designed for the palace of Frederick Ⅰ. However, the next King of Prussia , Frederick William Ⅰ,to whom the amber room belonged, decided not to keep it. In 1716 he gave it to Peter the Great. In return , the Czar sent him a troop of his best soldiers. So the Amber Room because part of the Czar's winter palace in St Petersburg.About four metres long, the room served as a small reception hall for important visitors . Later,Catherine Ⅱhad the Amber Room moved to a palace outside St Petersburg where she spent her summers. She told her artists to add more details to it .In 1770 the room was completed the way she wanted . Almost six hundred candles lit the room ,and its mirrors and pictures shone like gold. Sadly , although the Amber Room was considered one of the wonders of the world , it is now missing . In September 1941, the Nazi army was near St Petersburg . This was a time when the two countries were at war . Before the Nazis could get to the summer palace , the Russians were able to remove some furniture and small art objects from the Amber Room . However , some of the Nazis secretly stole the room itself . In less than two days 100,000 pieces were put inside twenty-seven woooden boxs . There is no doubt that the boxs were then put on a train for Konigsberg, which was at that time a German city on the Baltic Sea . After that, what happened to the Amber Room remains a mystery . Recently , the Russians and Germans have built a new Amber Room at the summer palace . By studying old photos of the former Amber Room , they have made the new one look like the old one .In 2003 it was ready for the people of St Petersburg when they celebrated the 300th birthday of their city . A FACT OR AN OPINION? What is a fact? Is it something that people believe? No. A fact is anything that can be proved. For example, it can be proved that China has more people than any other country in the world. This is a fact. Then what is an opinion? An opinion is what someone believes is true but has not been proved. So an opinion is not good evidence in a trial. For example, it is an opinion if you say “Cats are better pets than dogs”. It may be true, but it is difficult to prove. Some people may not agree with this opinion but they also cannot prove that they are right. In a trial, a judge must decide which eyewit nesses to believe and which not to believe. The judge does not consider what each eyewitness looks like or where that person lives or works. He/she only cares about whether the eyewitness has given true information, which must be facts rather than opinions. This kind of information is called evidence. Unit 2 AN INTERVIEW Pausanias, who was a Greek writer about 2,000 years ago, has come on a magical journey on March 18th 2007 to find out about the present-day Olympic Games.

普通高中课程标准实验教科书《英语》电子课本 Book 3 Unit 1 Festivals around the world B3U1P1-3 FESTIV ALS AND CELEBRATIONS Ancient Festivals Festivals and celebrations of all kinds are held everywhere. The most ancient festivals would celebrate the end of the cold weather, planting in spring and harvest in autumn. Other celebrations were held when hunters could catch animals. They would starve if food was difficult to find, so they celebrated when they had food. They lit fires and made music because they thought these festivals would bring a year of plenty. Festivals of the Dead Some festivals are held to honour the dead, or satisfy and please the ancestors, who could return either to help or to do harm. In Japan the festival is called Obon, when people should go to clean the graves and light incense in memory of their ancestors. They light lamps and play music because they think that this will lead the ancestors back to earth. In Mexico they have the Day of the Dead in early November. On this important feast day, people might eat food in shape of skulls, and cakes with “bones” on them. They offer food, flowers and gifts to the dead. The festival of Halloween had its origin as an event in memory of the dead. It is now a children’s festival, when they can go to their neighbours’ homes and ask for sweets. They dress up and try to frighten people. If they are not given anything, the children might play a trick. Festivals to Honour People Festivals can be held as an honour to famous people or to the gods. One of these is the Dragon Boat Festival in China, which honours the famous ancient poet, Qu Yuan. Another is Columbus Day in the USA, in memory of the arrival of Christopher Columbus in America. In India there is a national festival on October 2 to honour Mahatma Gandhi, the leader who helped gain India’s independence from Britain. Harvest Festivals Harvest and Thanksgiving festivals can be very happy events. People are grateful because their food is gathered for the winter ,and because a season of agricultural work is over. In European countries it is the custom to decorate churches and town halls with flowers and fruit, and people get together to have meals. Some people might win awards for their animals, flowers, fruits and vegetables, like the biggest watermelon or the most handsome rooster. In China and Japan there are mid-autumn festivals, when people admire the moon and give gift of mooncakes. Spring Festivals The most energetic and important festivals are the ones that look forward to the end of winter and to the coming of spring. At the Spring Festival in China, people eat dumplings, fish and meat, and may give children lucky money in the red paper. There are dragon dances and carnivals, and families celebrate the lunar New Year together. In some Western countries there are very exciting carnivals, which take place forty days before Easter, usually in February. They might include parades, dancing in the streets day and night, loud music and colourful clothing of all kinds. Easter is an important religious and social festival in Christian countries. It celebrates the return of Jesus for Christians and it also celebrates the coming of spring. In Japan, the Cherry Blossom Festival happens a little later. The country is covered with cherry tree flowers so that it looks as though it might be covered with pink snow. People love to get together to eat, drink and have fun with each others. Festivals let us enjoy life, be proud of our customs and forget our daily life for a little while.

必修4 Unit 1 A STUDENT OF AFRICAN WILDLIFE It is 5:45 am and the sun is just rising over Gombe National Park in East Africa. Following Jane's way of studying chimps, our group are all going to visit them in the forest. Jane has studied these families of chimps for many years and helped people understand how much they behave like humans. Watching a family of chimps wake up is our first activity of the day. This means going back to the place where we left the family sleeping in a tree the night before. Everybody sits and waits in the shade of the trees while the family begins to wake up and move off. Then we follow as they wander into the forest. Most of the time, chimps either feed or clean each other as a way of showing love in their family. Jane warns us that our group is going to be very tired and dirty by the afternoon and she is right. However, the evening makes it all worthwhile. We watch the mother chimp and her babies play in the tree. Then we see them go to sleep together in their nest for the night. We realize that the bond between members of a chimp family is as strong as in a human family. Nobody before Jane fully understood chimp behaviour. She spent years observing and recording their daily activities. Since her childhood she had wanted to work with animals in their own environment. However, this was not easy. When she first arrived in Gombe in 1960, it was unusual for a woman to live in the forest. Only after her mother came to help her for the first few months was she allowed to begin her project. Her work changed the way people think about chimps. For example, one important thing she discovered was that chimps hunt and eat meat. Until then everyone had thought chimps ate only fruit and nuts. She actually observed chimps as a group hunting a monkey and then eating it. She also discovered how chimps communicate with each other, and her study of their body language helped her work out their social system. For forty years Jane Goodall has been outspoken about making the rest of the world understand and respect the life of these animals. She has argued that wild animals should be left in the wild and not used for entertainment or advertisements. She has helped to set up special places where they can live safely. She is leading a busy life but she says: "Once I stop, it all comes crowding in and I remember the chimps in laboratories. It's terrible. It affects me when I watch the wild chimps. I say to myself, 'Aren't they lucky?" And then I think about small chimps in cages though they have done nothing wrong. Once you have seen that you can never forget ..." She has achieved everything she wanted to do: working with animals in their own environment, gaining a doctor's degree and showing that women can live in the forest as men can. She inspires those who want to cheer the achievements of women. WHY NOT CARRY ON HER GOOD WORK? I enjoyed English, biology, and chemistry at school, but which one should I choose to study at university? I did not know the answer until one evening when I sat down at the computer to do some research on great women of China. By chance I came across an article about a doctor called Lin Qiaozhi, a specialist in women's diseases. She lived from 1901 to 1983. It seemed that she had been very busy in her chosen career, travelling abroad to study as well as writing books and articles. One of them

But he became inspired when he tho ught about helping ordinary people exposed to cholera. This was the deadly dise ase of its day. Neither its cause nor its cure was understood. 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. The first suggested that cholera multiplied in the air. A cloud of dangerous gas floated around until it found its victims. The second suggested that people absorbed this disease into their bodies with their meals. From the stomach the disease quickly attacked the body and soon the affected person die d. John Snow suspected that the second theory was correct but he needed eviden ce. So when another outbreak hit London in 1854, he was ready to begin his enqu iry. 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 also noticed that some houses (such as 20 and 21 Broad Street and 8 and 9 Cambridge Street) had had no deaths. He had not foreseen this, so he made further investigations. 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. Both she and her daughter died of cholera after drin king the water. With this extra evidence John Snow was able to announce with ce rtainty that polluted water carried the virus.

关于高中英语教材(人教版)使用情况的调查

关于高中英语教材(人教版)使用情况的调查 教师一 新教材成功之处: 1.话题内容广泛,且贴近现实生活,高一模块(1)和(2)共有10个单元;分别为:Friendship, English around the world, Travel journal ,Earthquake, Nelson Mandela, Cultural Relics, The Olympic Games, Computers, Wildlife protection ,Music.很有时代气息,例如:Computers 和Music这两单元,对较熟悉和感兴趣的主题,学生往往比较投入,上课效果也较好。 2.每个单元都有相对应的情感目标和德育渗透。例如:Cultural Relics Wildlife protection涉及到保护文化遗产和野生动物,Nelson Mandela 则教育学生如何做个受人尊敬的人。3.Warming up Pre-reading 内容丰富,多以开放型问题为主,启发学生动脑思考,大胆想象,同时也给了学生大胆表达自己想法的机会,在学习时更有主动权。例如:模块1 第五单元在Warming up 中就有这样的问题“What are the qualities you should find in a great person?”在 Pre-reading 中又有“Which of them are great men and which are just important men ?” 不同的同学就

会有不同的标准,回答也可以有自己的想法和个性。往往这会使课堂气氛活跃。 4.语言知识和技能训练循序渐进,反复渗透,符合学生的认知规律。例如:Learning about language 对单词的英语释义有助于学生用英语思维,语法项目相对集中,模块1和2 用了四个单元来练习定语从句,而且由简单到复杂,学生容易接受。 5.单元中的听、说、读、写都以话题为核心,以结构功能为主线,并在Using language 和Workbook 中都让学生得以锻炼。 不足之处 1.每单元词汇量过大。以模块2第三单元为例,单词表中就有36个单词(不带三角符号)和12 个词组,且单词较长,学生记忆的确有困难。 2.阅读后的Comprehending内容不是十分与文章内容对应。例如:模块1第一单元Page3 Exercise 2No.5,我们不能从已有的材料中得出答案。模块1第三单元Page 19 Exercise 2 若教师不做另外补充,学生根本不知the Mekong River 流经的国家,这样让阅读的目的就体现不出,学生更体会不到成功的喜悦。

The second suggested that people absorbed this disease into their bodies with their meals. From the stomach the disease quickly attacked the body and soon the affected person died. 斯洛对霍乱致人死地的两种推测都很感兴趣。一种看法是霍乱病毒在空气中繁殖着,像一股危险的气体到处漂浮,直到找到病毒的受害者为止。第二种看法是人们在吃饭的时候把这种病毒引入体内的。病从胃里发作而迅速殃及全身,患者就会很快地死去。 1 / 23 John Snow suspected that the second theory was correct but he needed evidence.
