At first I couldn’t believe it!There were no 1 in rows;no bells rang;no one had to go to class.Although we all lived “in”, nobody made us go to bed at a certain time;there was no “l(fā)ights out”.The 2 thing was that practically all the students went to class, and very few people stayed up late at night.Only the new people stayed up or 3 class.The new ones always went wild 4 , but this never lasted long.The 5 took some getting used to.Our teachers treated us like 6;never did we have to 7 “stand up”, “sit down” , “speak out”.I don’t 8 one student who didn’t try his best.The subjects were the same as those in 9 school, but what a difference in the approach!For example, in botany we had 10 classes in the spring or fall, but instead we 11 two gardens, a vegetable garden and a flower garden.12 in winter we each studied a few 13 things about what we had grown.In math the students built three different kinds of storeroom—small ones 14 ,but usable.They did this instead of having lessons in the classroom.They really had a 15 time too, designing everything, drawing the blueprints, 16 the angles and so on.I didn’t take math.I can’t stand it!Besides, I could do the basic things with numbers.That’s 17.I think I am a better person for having gone to the school.I can read and write as well as anyone else my age, and I can think better.That’s probably a real big 19 between the free school and regular school—the amount of 20.1.A.desksB.lightsC.studentsD.buildings

Although there are no state controlled survival courses in Britain or the United States , there are various independent organizations offering similar activities.Students can participate(take part)in outdoor training courses through university clubs and societies.Anyone can register(登記)with such groups , which then organize courses ,training and trips for all members.One of the most popular outdoor training programmes in both the US and Britain , is Outward Bound(戶外訓(xùn)練).It was founded in 1941 in Wales and attracts hundreds of thousands of adventurous types every year.The courses are to broaden minds through experiences that build confidence , self-esteem(自尊)and character.As well as specialist courses such as canoeing , leadership skills and sailing , participants can take part in week long adventure training camps which include a host of sports and survival training education skills.Michael Williams , an American student , took part in an Outward Bound course last year.He said : “We learned lots of first aid skills , lots of natural history , lots of environmental facts , and participated in a wildlife preservation(protecting)programme.Beyond that , my favorite skills learned were sailing and rock climbing.”

Courses can last up to 40 days and are open to anyone over the age of 14.Students must be in general good health , but do not need to be experienced in outdoor-sports.There is no selection process;everyone is welcome , although new participants are advised to pick a course matching their physical power.Most of the British courses take place in the Beacons in Wales.Another similar organization is the UK Survival School , which includes courses on learning to live with the environment , sailing and winter survival.On a basic survival weekend students will learn how to get water and food , how to make fire and cook with it , to find and build a shelter , control survival life support , how to cross rivers , send off an SOS signal , and to use compasses by day and night.According to the leaders , such adventures are “an awakening , an exploration into unknown.” Outward Bound believes that participants will “use mind and body traveling some of the earth’s roughest wildness areas.”

1.The advantage of the training courses is that_________.A.participants can make friends with others

B.participants can visit some places of interest

C.participants can experience different adventures

D.participants can learn how wonderful nature is

2..In the Outward Bound course last year , the most exciting experience Michael Williams had was_________.A.learning first aid skillsB.collecting facts of environment

C.preserving wildlifeD.rock climbing and sailing

3.What’s the writer’s purpose to write this passage ?

A.To introduce the training course to readers.B.To persuade readers to take part in the training courses.C.To tell readers the danger of this training course.D.To introduce the wonders of the world to readers.Many Chinese students who have learnt English for more than ten years are still unable to speak

English very well when they meet a foreigner.They seem to have mastered the basic language structure(結(jié)構(gòu)), but a conversation in English will make them feel uneasy.They are afraid that other people might find out their mistakes.It's uncommon that many students who are bad speakers of English can write English perfectly.This proves that they are unable to organize their idea in English.The center of the problem is that they lack practice and confidence(自信).Why should you be afraid? Do you fear those foreigners with whom you are speaking? Don't be shy, they will not laugh at you just for a little mistake you make.The best way to get rid of trouble is to learn to speak by speaking more.I am sure that constant practice will help you succeed.4.What's the best topic for the passage?

A.How to Speak to Foreigners

B.How to Study English Well

C.How to Organize the Idea in English

D.Practise Speaking English All the Time

A.they seldom meet foreigners

B.they seldom practise speaking English

C.they had no chance to speak English

D.they think it's enough to master the basic language structure only

6.So many Chinese students are afraid speak to foreigners because

A.they are afraid they can't understand foreigners

B.they don't think their English is poor

C.they worry about making mistakes in their speaking

D.they didn't tike speaking to foreigners

7.According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?

Unit1 Tales of the unexplained

肖涓瑜200677250313 Period: The first peiod Content: Welcome to the unit Teaching Objectives:

1.to cultivate students’ prior knowledge

2.to train students’ability of finding information , collecting and reorganizing it 3.to provide students with sufficient chances to communicate with the teacher and with each other 4.to help students enlarge their vocabulary, especially those related to the topics Language Focus: Ⅰ.Important Points:

1.about science and technology 2.broadcast the latest news at home and abroad 3.report and analyze the current situations Ⅱ.Difficult Points: 1.comment on the global economy and finances 2.related to sports and music 3.introduce different local customs Teaching Procedures: Ⅰ.Organizing the class T: Greeting and a duty report Ⅱ.Lead-in 1.Are you interested in a program called ‘Discovery”? 2.Are you curious about mysteries? 3.Have you ever thought of exploring some of the mysteries? Ⅲ.Practice Teacher: What information have you got about UFO? Student A:...… …

Teacher: Do you think student A’s introduction interesting? What

about the information you’ve got? Is there something different? Student B: ………

Ⅳ.In this section, students will be asked to talk about the following phenomena, including traces of UFO, real existences of Yeti and the Loch Ness monster, reasons for building Stonehenge and the Great Pyramid and disappearances of ships and planes in the Bermuda.All these have a common characteristic, that is, no evidences or proofs have been provided to explain the mysterious phenomena.Students are expected to make full use of resources and share their imaginative ideas with each other by participating in all the activities.長沙理工大學(xué)城南學(xué)院英語專業(yè)教育模擬實(shí)習(xí)教案(before taking up the task)

The teacher assigns students a task, that is, all of them are required to surf the net or refer to some reference books, in English or in Chinese to get some information about UFO, Yeti, the Loch Monster, Bermuda, Stonehenge and the Great Pyramid.The activity can be conducted like this:

The topics we are going to deal with in our next period are not only very interesting and attractive, but a bit mysterious as well.They are beyond our knowledge.Even the advanced science and technology of today cannot offer satisfactory answers, so I recommend if we’d like to discuss these topics, it is best for all of us to make preparations first, either by searching for information on the Internet or looking up background information in some books.Besides collecting information, you have to note down your answers.It’ll be more convenient for you to report back your answers if you do so.2(focusing on the pictures)

a.Ask students to read the instructions and focus on the six pictures and illustrationsindividually first.The teacher can arouse their interest by asking them the following questions:

Do the six pictures have something in common? What is it?

(unexplained;no satisfactory answers;mysterious;no evidences…)

Can scientists explain these phenomena?

How do you feel about them? Are you a bit curious?

b.Ask students to think of as many expressions as possible to answer the above questions, encourage them to make up sentences and report back their answers.The teacher can share the following sentences with students.They are mysterious because no satisfactory answers have been offered to explain their reasons.Though these mysteries have puzzled people for a long time, people show great interest in them.People feel puzzled due to their mysteries.c.Ask students to report back the information they have collected.As students have been required to prepare for the topics, their answers might be various.The teacher can vary the activities

according to students’ responses.If possible, some answers students provide can be used as

prompt for a class discussion.For example: Teacher: What information have you got about UFO? Student A:...… …

Teacher: Do you think student A’s introduction interesting? What about the information you’ve got? Is there something different? Student B: ………

This activity can be conducted flexibly.Sample answers 1.Like any other intelligent and rationale person, I have a firm belief in UFOs.In fact, I have seen a few myself.UFO stands for Unidentified Flying Object, that is, an object, apparently moving in the sky, that we cannot identify.However, if you ask me whether I believe spacecraft carrying visitors from outer space, I would say ‘no’.I do not believe it.2.The continent of Antarctica was discovered in 1818.A map known as the 'Piri Reis' Map, a genuine document made in Constantinople in 1513, clearly shows the continent of Antarctica.長沙理工大學(xué)城南學(xué)院英語專業(yè)教育模擬實(shí)習(xí)教案

How could this have been possible if Antarctica was not discovered until 300 years later? Antarctica was supposed to have been covered by ice for the last million or so years, but samples taken from sediment deep beneath Antarctica in 1949 revealed that great rivers had once flowed in Antarctica until about 6000 years ago.3.I’m always interested in the stories of UFOs and aliens.And I hope I will have the chance to meet one some day.If it really happens to me, I will ask questions such as ‘who or what are you?’ ‘Where are you from?’ ‘How long does it take to travel from your place to our planet?’ I will try my best to communicate with them, discovering what their life is like and why they come to the earth.d.Ask students to have a discussion about the topics by exploring some other activities.In order to conduct them more conveniently, the teacher can arrange numbers from left to right, from top to bottom first.For example:(Picture 1)

Have you ever read some reports about UFO in Chinese? Are you interested in it? Is it really from another planet? What does UFO stand for?

For what reasons do you think UFO visits our planet? Student: ………

Teacher: UFOs are unidentified flying objects, but no one really knows what they are.The chances for seeing a UFO are greater for those people who live in small towns or in the country and are outside late at night.UFOs come in all shapes and sizes.Some are only small spots of light that move in strange patterns across the night sky.Some can be seen in the daytime are often disk-or saucer-shaped.(Picture 2)

Where is Himalayas? What’s the weather like there?

Yeti is reported to be half-man and half-beast, have you heard of it?

Do you think some climbers’ disappearance have some connections with Yeti? Student: ………

Teacher: The yeti is a humanlike monster who is supposed to live in the Himalayas, the highest mountain range in the world.Several sightings, mainly of footprints, have been reported by westerner explorers throughout the years.Yet none of them have been supported with evidence in any way.(Pictures3, 4 and 6)Stonehenge and the Great Pyramid of Egypt are both cultural relics.Where is the Great Pyramid built, on the east coast of the Nile or on the west of it? What are its reasons? Do you think the Great Pyramid a wonder in the human history? How was the Great Pyramid built? I haven’t heard of Stonehenge or the Ness Monster.They are a bit new to me.What about you? Will you be interested in making discoveries about them when you grow up? Student: ……… 長沙理工大學(xué)城南學(xué)院英語專業(yè)教育模擬實(shí)習(xí)教案

Teacher: On the 21st December 1933, the Daily Mail carried the following headline: “Monster of Loch Ness is not a Legend but a Fact.” The hunter, M A Wetherall, a member of the Royal Geographical Society and the London Zoological Society said: “It is a four fingered beast and it has feet or pads of eight inches across.I judge it to be a powerful soft footed animal about 20 feet in length.......I am sure that it can breathe like a crocodile with just one nostril out of the water.” Not much is known about Khufu.The tomb had been robbed long before archeologists came upon it.Any information about Khufu was taken with the objects inside the tomb.He is thought to have been the ruler of a highly structured society and he must have been very wealthy.He was buried alone in this massive tomb.His wives may have been buried nearby in smaller mastabas.(Picture 5)While talking about picture 4, the teacher can show a map to the students and point to them clearly where Florida and the Bermuda Florida are on the map.Are there any monsters in these areas?Why do ships or planes disappear in this area?

Do you think it is too mysterious? Suppose there is a ship equipped with the latest scientific equipment and it can make contact with scientists on land at any time, do you think it will be possible to solve the mysteries?

第三篇：牛津高中英語模塊一模塊二閱讀翻譯

第一單元

在英國的學(xué)校生活

在英國高中讀一年書對于我來說是一個(gè)有趣又刺激的經(jīng)歷。我對學(xué)校的作息時(shí)間很滿意因?yàn)閷W(xué)校在上午9.00左右開始上課在下午3.30放學(xué)。這意味著我可以比往常晚起一個(gè)小時(shí)因?yàn)橹袊膶W(xué)校在8.00之前上課。

第一天，所有的學(xué)生都去參加了會(huì)議。我坐在一個(gè)叫戴安娜的女孩邊上。我們很快成了很要好的朋友。在會(huì)議期間。校長把有關(guān)學(xué)校的校規(guī)告訴了我們。他還告訴我們在學(xué)校贏得別人尊重最好的方法就是努力讀書取得高分。這聽起來就像是我中國的學(xué)校。

在過去的一年里我有很多老師，他們每一個(gè)人都只教一門功課。海伍德先生是我的班主任。我最喜歡的老師是伯克老師。她是教我們英國文明的老師。在我們的班級里只有29個(gè)學(xué)生。這是英國學(xué)校每個(gè)班的學(xué)生平均數(shù)。我們不得不為了上不同的課程而去不同的教室。在一些教室，我們還有不同的同學(xué)，所以記住所有同學(xué)的長相和名字是很困難的。

我發(fā)現(xiàn)家庭作業(yè)也沒有我以前的學(xué)校所布置的多了，但是起初它對于我來說是一個(gè)挑戰(zhàn)因?yàn)樗械墓φn都是英語。我感到很幸運(yùn)因?yàn)槲宜械睦蠋煻己軜酚谥瞬⑶椅液芟矚g我所有的課程：英語，歷史，英國文明，電腦技術(shù)，數(shù)學(xué)，自然科學(xué)，體育，藝術(shù)，烹飪和法語。

我的英語改善了不少因?yàn)槲颐刻於荚谑褂糜⒄Z并且每天花一個(gè)小時(shí)在圖書館看英語書。我經(jīng)常在午餐時(shí)間到電腦俱樂部，所以我可以免費(fèi)回復(fù)我家人和朋友的電子郵件。我在周二晚上也有一個(gè)額外的法語。烹飪是真的很有趣因?yàn)槲覍W(xué)會(huì)了怎樣去買，準(zhǔn)備以及烹飪食物。在學(xué)期結(jié)束時(shí)我們還舉辦了班級派對。我們都烹飪了些東西。當(dāng)我的朋友很喜歡我制作的蛋糕時(shí)我很快樂。

在那個(gè)學(xué)校的學(xué)生必須學(xué)習(xí)數(shù)學(xué)，英語和科學(xué)，但是可以放棄一些他們不喜歡的科目，比如歷史，法語和藝術(shù)。他們可以選擇其他科目例如木工制作，電腦技術(shù)或者是像西班牙語德語的語言。在木工制作的課程上我做了一個(gè)小桌子。盡管他剛完工的時(shí)候看上去不像一個(gè)桌子，我仍然很喜歡它。

在午餐時(shí)間我也很想中國的食物。英國的食物實(shí)在是很不同。英國人在他們主食之后會(huì)吃很多的甜點(diǎn)。午飯后，我們經(jīng)常在學(xué)校的操場上玩耍。有時(shí)候我也和男孩們一起踢足球。有時(shí)候我只是坐在樹下或草地上休息。

能體驗(yàn)到如此不同尋常的生活方式我感到很幸運(yùn)，而且我也很希望有一天我還能回來繼續(xù)在曼徹斯特讀書。

Project 我們學(xué)校有一個(gè)廣播俱樂部。這個(gè)俱樂部的非常之處在于它是由學(xué)生們自己為學(xué)校創(chuàng)辦的。我很幸運(yùn)地成了其中的一名主持人。

廣播俱樂部是兩年前創(chuàng)立的。有一天，我萌發(fā)了為大家播放音樂的念頭，于是我就問校長能否在休息時(shí)間給同學(xué)們播放音樂，校長同意了。兩年后，我作為元老負(fù)責(zé)校廣播俱樂部的工作。我們的俱樂部現(xiàn)在不只是播放音樂。每天早上我們向同學(xué)們播報(bào)天氣情況和時(shí)事新聞，還有老師們要我們播出的一些特別告示。

到了考試的時(shí)候我們就會(huì)做一檔特別節(jié)目，告訴學(xué)生們復(fù)習(xí)迎考的注意事項(xiàng)。每當(dāng)學(xué)年結(jié)束的時(shí)候，許多即將畢業(yè)離校的學(xué)生就會(huì)借助我們的廣播俱樂部向他們的好友和老師留下畢業(yè)致辭。

我第一次參加聚會(huì)的時(shí)候，被要求寫一首詩，還得當(dāng)著俱樂部成員的面進(jìn)行朗誦。起初我覺得有些緊張，但所有的成員都是那么親切、支好，我很快就不擔(dān)心了。有一次，我在學(xué)?；▓@里朗誦了一首表現(xiàn)大自然的詩歌。朗誦前．我選擇了一棵老樹，把大家都聚集在樹下。俱樂部成員們都說那是他們聽過的最好的詩歌之一。（鮑勃·肖）

媽媽和爸爸外出度假，比預(yù)期的時(shí)間提前一天返回家中。媽和爸爸進(jìn)門時(shí)，窗簾緊閉，起居室里黑咕隆咚的。

爸爸：

回家的感覺真好啊！

媽媽：

是啊，我迫不及待地要給兒子們一個(gè)驚喜呢！

埃里克：媽媽！爸爸！你們這么早就回來了呀！

爸爸拉開窗簾，光線一下子照進(jìn)屋里。起居室里一片狼藉：地板上堆放著比薩餅盒子，洗碗池里全是臟碗碟。角落里有只垃圾桶，在其周圍還有垃圾和廢紙。媽媽和爸爸同時(shí)轉(zhuǎn)向丹尼爾。

爸爸：

丹尼爾：（叫喊著）別對我大喊大叫好不好？我還只是個(gè)少年！為什么什么事總是我的過錯(cuò)？ 丹尼爾沖進(jìn)自己的臥室，憤怒地關(guān)上房門。媽媽和爸爸面面相覷，燈光滅。

埃里克：

你可不要討厭他們!我可以告訴他們發(fā)生了緊急情況：解釋之后他們就不會(huì)再生氣了。

丹尼爾：

別，什么都不用跟他們說。不管怎樣，他們不信任我：他們不配得到解釋。他們愿意怎么想就讓他們怎么想好了。

埃里克：

男孩失蹤，警方茫然

美國警方現(xiàn)已加緊對一名15歲男孩的搜索，該男孩于三天前在新罕布什爾州的多佛市失蹤。該事件引起了公眾的極大興趣，原因是有各種關(guān)于男孩失蹤前后天空中出現(xiàn)奇怪光亮和外星人造訪地球的新聞報(bào)道。

人們最后一次看見學(xué)生賈斯廷·福斯特是在星期五晚上。當(dāng)晚8點(diǎn)，賈斯廷和兩個(gè)朋友到外面打棒球，這兩個(gè)朋友都說賈斯廷打完球就回家家。目擊者也說晚上10點(diǎn)45分他們看到賈斯廷朝家走去。賈斯廷的妹妹，九歲的凱莉說大約11點(diǎn)她聽到哥哥回到家中。

“我止準(zhǔn)備上床睡覺，”凱莉說，“賈斯廷徑直去自己的臥室了。我并沒有看到他，但我聽到他放了自己最喜愛的CD。我上床睡覺了，大約午夜時(shí)分我被窗外的亮光弄醒了?！?/p>

起先，小姑娘以為是滿月的光亮，然而接著她意識(shí)到光亮在移動(dòng)，而且越來越近?！拔依_窗簾，看到一只巨大的飛船在窗外飛行。飛船四周是藍(lán)色的光，還有很多窗戶里面站著許多白皮膚、眼睛又黑又大的奇怪生物。我害怕極了?！?/p>

凱莉說飛船接著轉(zhuǎn)到房子的側(cè)面，朝她哥哥的臥室移去?！俺霈F(xiàn)一道閃光，我還聽到賈斯廷的叫喊，接著“飛船就消失了。從那以后我就再?zèng)]見過賈斯廷。肯定是外星人帶走了他。”

凱莉然后跑去叫醒她的媽媽。但是，福斯特夫人以為賈斯廷在?個(gè)朋友家過夜了，因此她認(rèn)為凱莉只是做了個(gè)惡夢，于是將她打發(fā)回床上。福斯特先生當(dāng)晚忙于他的道路建設(shè)工作，事件發(fā)生時(shí)并不在家。第二天午飯時(shí)賈斯廷仍未露面，福斯特夫人開始擔(dān)心起來，于是讓丈夫打電話報(bào)警。

多佛市的一些人也聲稱當(dāng)晚看見了外星人?！斑@種事在我身上就發(fā)生過！’‘梅維斯·伍德夫人說，“那些外星人將我劫持到飛船上，以便他們在我身上做研究。幸運(yùn)的是，他們放我回家，我一點(diǎn)兒也沒有受傷。整個(gè)經(jīng)歷太可怕了！回家之后我一直睡不好覺。我認(rèn)為賈斯廷也是被他們劫持走了。”

當(dāng)被問及賈斯廷被外星人綁架的可能性時(shí)，負(fù)責(zé)調(diào)查此案的薩姆·彼得森偵探告訴記者：“人們有時(shí)候編造出這類奇異的故事。事實(shí)上并沒有確鑿的證據(jù)證明是外星人劫持了他。所以，盡管我們不排除這種想法，但是我們也在調(diào)查其他的可能性。在確認(rèn)到底發(fā)生了什么事之前，我們是不會(huì)

放棄的。”

Project 喜馬拉雅雪人、北美野人和神農(nóng)架野人 幾個(gè)世紀(jì)以來，不斷有人報(bào)告說在喜馬拉雅山區(qū)看到一種被稱為喜馬拉雅雪人的野生動(dòng)物。據(jù)說，雪人是種高大多毛，像人類一樣用兩腳行走的動(dòng)物。人們相信雪人有時(shí)下山攻擊村民。

1998年，一名美國登山愛好者聲稱，他在喜馬拉雅山的中國一側(cè)看見過一個(gè)雪人?！八呗返臉幼酉袢祟?，但是有濃密的黑毛，大約6英尺高，雙肩寬闊，兩臂很長，還有一雙大手?！彼f。

喜馬拉雅雪人和北美野人與被稱為神農(nóng)架野人的生物很相似。已有很多關(guān)于人們在中國湖北省西部的神農(nóng)架自然保護(hù)區(qū)看到過一個(gè)野人的報(bào)道。其中一篇報(bào)道講一群工程師追趕這種以驚人速度和力量移動(dòng)的生物。人們也發(fā)現(xiàn)過一些巨大腳印，有人稱它們屬于野人。因?yàn)檫@些報(bào)道和腳印，人們已經(jīng)開展了數(shù)次有組織的針對該生物的搜尋活動(dòng)，但是從沒有找到它存在的有力證據(jù)。

華盛頓州立大學(xué)的一名科學(xué)家格洛夫·克蘭茨博士曾研究有關(guān)這類奇怪生物的報(bào)道多年。他堅(jiān)信他們的存在。他認(rèn)為，這些生物與一個(gè)共同的祖先相關(guān)聯(lián)，該動(dòng)物生活于約3 0萬年前的亞洲。他的看法是這種動(dòng)物遷徙到了世界上的其他地區(qū)，并一直存活至今。

我們將于7月，5日離開倫敦，坐飛機(jī)去北非的摩洛哥。我們要騎著駱駝穿越撒哈拉沙漠。這是世界上最大的沙漠——大約相當(dāng)于美國的面積！，我估計(jì)那里會(huì)非常炎熱、干燥，而且塵土飛揚(yáng)。我們將在當(dāng)?shù)貙?dǎo)游的帶領(lǐng)下騎著駱駝旅行，在帳篷里宿營，席地而睡。我聽說過，在撒哈拉，白天沒有陰涼之處，在晴朗的夜晚星星格外燦爛。我會(huì)隨身帶一只手電筒，這樣在黑暗中我就可以看見了。旅行全程將花六天時(shí)間。這意味著我要在駱駝上坐將近一周的時(shí)間一一多不舒服??！我希望我的駱駝會(huì)喜歡我！

騎駱駝旅行后，我們將沿著尼羅河順流而下。我們要從維多利亞湖出發(fā)。自維多利亞湖沿河而下不遠(yuǎn)，河水就變得挺湍急了。所以，我們將進(jìn)行白浪漂流。這很危險(xiǎn)，但也非常刺激！作為保護(hù)措施，你得戴上頭盔，穿上救生衣，以防萬一掉進(jìn)水里。

之后，我們要前往肯尼亞看那里的野生動(dòng)物。我們要跟當(dāng)?shù)氐木用褚黄鹱≡谒麄兊拇迓淅铮还芩麄兂允裁?、喝什么，我們也一起吃、一起喝，包括牛血！你覺得我應(yīng)該喝嗎？

之后我們將繼續(xù)前進(jìn)至坦桑尼亞，在那里我們要攀登乞力馬扎羅山。登山會(huì)讓人覺得非常疲憊，由于空氣變得稀薄，很多人會(huì)感到惡心，所以，科林和我會(huì)確保我們能夠得到充足的休息。我們的非洲段旅行將歷時(shí)大約四周，然后，我們將前往喜馬拉雅山。

我到所有不同地方都會(huì)給你寄明信片的！

木乃伊的詛咒

霍華德·卡特是有史以來世界上最出名的探險(xiǎn)家之一。他勇敢無畏，愛好去從未去過的地方探險(xiǎn)。在其一生中他發(fā)現(xiàn)了許多令人驚奇的東西。

霍華德·卡特沒有上過學(xué)，但是他從畫家父親那里學(xué)會(huì)了畫畫。他天資聰穎，對家鄉(xiāng)之外的世界充滿了好奇心。1891年，在17歲的時(shí)候，他揚(yáng)帆遠(yuǎn)航到了埃及的亞歷山大。到了20世紀(jì)20年代，他已成為一名探險(xiǎn)家，致力于尋找古埃及國王的陵墓。他找到了不少重要的陵墓。在這些陵墓中，他發(fā)現(xiàn)了大量的珠寶和黃金，同時(shí)還有已故國王經(jīng)過處理的遺體，這些經(jīng)過處理的遺體就是為人所知的木乃伊。

1922年，在埃及的國王谷，霍華德·卡特做出了他最驚人的發(fā)現(xiàn)。此次探險(xiǎn)之前，他得到了卡那封勛爵的資助?？欠馐莻€(gè)對埃及非常感興趣的英國人。卡特的探險(xiǎn)隊(duì)當(dāng)時(shí)在盧克素城附近的地方進(jìn)行工作。在這個(gè)地方，他們發(fā)現(xiàn)了圖坦卡蒙國王的陵墓。這是有史以來所發(fā)現(xiàn)的最重要的陵墓?！俺藝醯哪灸艘林?，這座陵墓還藏有大量的珍寶，比我們?nèi)魏稳讼惹八娺^的都要多。”卡特說，“在探查過這座陵墓之后，我們將其封起來，并掩藏了其人口。以后我們要在有更多的時(shí)間時(shí)來研究這座陵墓。此后，其所有的東西都要收進(jìn)博物館?！?/p>

然而，不久之后，卡特探險(xiǎn)隊(duì)的成員就開始生病，并相繼死去。在他們進(jìn)入陵墓的那一刻，卡特的那只被他留在開羅的幸運(yùn)愛鳥被一條蛇給吞吃了。接著，在卡特打開陵墓數(shù)月后，當(dāng)時(shí)也在陵墓發(fā)掘現(xiàn)場的卡那封勛爵生病發(fā)高燒，死在埃及。在卡那封勛爵病死的那一刻，埃及首都開羅所有的電燈突然熄滅。而在英國老家，卡，那封勛爵的狗幾乎在同一時(shí)間死亡。

喬治·古爾德，卡那封勛爵的朋友，在獲悉其奇怪死訊后趕赴埃及。他也去了陵墓，結(jié)果第二天就發(fā)高燒．1 2小時(shí)后便去世了?？ㄌ氐拿貢聿榈隆へ惾麪栐诖蜷_陵墓四個(gè)月后死于心臟病。另外一名探險(xiǎn)隊(duì)員阿瑟·梅斯也在發(fā)現(xiàn)陵墓后不久死去。

七年間，與陵墓發(fā)掘工作有關(guān)的人員之中有2 1人死亡。但是，霍華德·卡特卻一直活到了65歲。有人說所有那些死亡只是巧合。另一些人則相信這與木乃伊的詛咒有關(guān)，是對闖入亡靈安息地的人的懲罰。

盡管如此，仍有其他一些人認(rèn)為，此事有一個(gè)科學(xué)的解釋。那些陵墓中藏有大量病毒。陵墓被打開時(shí)，新鮮的空氣攪動(dòng)了這些病毒。一旦被人吸入，它們就可能導(dǎo)致疾病甚至死亡。如今，科學(xué)家們在檢查木乃伊的時(shí)候都要穿上特殊的服裝以保護(hù)自己。

但有一點(diǎn)可以肯定的是，“木乃伊的詛咒”至今仍是個(gè)謎。

在21小時(shí)23分鐘之內(nèi)你能夠得到的最大樂趣會(huì)是什么呢？2003年10月15日，楊利偉回答了這個(gè)問題。他的太空之旅讓他在僅僅21小時(shí)多一些的時(shí)間內(nèi)沿軌道飛行60萬公里，環(huán)繞地球14圈。這使他成為進(jìn)入太空的首位中國宇航員。為了這一成就，他經(jīng)過了多年的努力。

楊利偉出生于1965年，從他還是個(gè)小男孩的時(shí)候起，就夢想著飛行。他在遼寧省東北部綏中的朋友和老師都說他從小就熱愛科學(xué)技術(shù)。他對學(xué)習(xí)飛行總有一種強(qiáng)烈的愿望。他的夢想得到了父母以及姐姐和弟弟的鼓勵(lì)。

1983年，他參軍進(jìn)入飛行學(xué)校。他干1987年畢業(yè)，并成為一名飛行員。1998年，他申請成為“9 2 1”計(jì)劃即現(xiàn)名“神舟”計(jì)劃的成員。他是從將近1500名候選人當(dāng)中遴選出來的僅僅14人中的一員。在接下來的五年時(shí)間里，這些隊(duì)員接受了各種訓(xùn)練。他們不僅學(xué)習(xí)成為宇航員所必修的全部科目，還學(xué)習(xí)生存技巧，以及關(guān)于飛船和火箭制造的所有知識(shí)。在隊(duì)員們所學(xué)習(xí)的各門功課中，楊利偉的成績都名列前茅。

200 3年9月，1 4名候選人中的3名隊(duì)員被挑選參加中國的太空探險(xiǎn)，楊利偉是其中之一。他接受了所有的測試，并證實(shí)了他是擔(dān)任此項(xiàng)重任的合格人選。雖然楊利偉并非每項(xiàng)測試都得了最高分，但他各項(xiàng)心理測試所得的高分最終為他贏得了中國首位宇航員的身份。楊利偉的上級將他描述為一個(gè)勤奮刻苦、始終能夠自控的人。因?yàn)檫@些品質(zhì)，他的領(lǐng)導(dǎo)對于他將會(huì)成功持樂觀態(tài)度。

最終，楊利偉的確成功了。他的名字將與尤里·加加林、艾倫·謝帕德一道載入史冊。中國人民能為楊利偉而自豪，全世界的年輕人也會(huì)將他視為努力實(shí)現(xiàn)夢想的榜樣。

該篇文章主要介紹中國學(xué)生Wei Hua在英國為期一年的留學(xué)經(jīng)歷。通過她對英國中學(xué)生活的描述，學(xué)生對英國中學(xué)生的日常學(xué)習(xí)情況增加一定的了解。但由于內(nèi)容較多以及中英文化方面的差異，在閱讀過程中，對于剛進(jìn)入高中學(xué)習(xí)的學(xué)生，他們中有些在完全理解課文方面有一定的困難。

針對上述分析，本課在設(shè)計(jì)時(shí)先以錄像導(dǎo)入的形式，增加學(xué)生對文章有關(guān)的感性知識(shí)；然后采用略讀的方法，培養(yǎng)學(xué)生閱讀整體觀念；在隨后的細(xì)節(jié)處理時(shí)，采取尋讀、細(xì)節(jié)理解、正誤辨別的方法；在難點(diǎn)處理時(shí)，通過啟發(fā)誘導(dǎo)，教師歸納的措施加以突破。整個(gè)教學(xué)過程的設(shè)計(jì)由淺入深，由感悟、理解、分析、歸納、總結(jié)到運(yùn)用，從而完成從閱讀輸入到理解輸出的學(xué)習(xí)過程，達(dá)到培養(yǎng)學(xué)生閱讀能力的目標(biāo)。3.教學(xué)目標(biāo)

① 知識(shí)目標(biāo): 通過該文的學(xué)習(xí),幫助學(xué)生對英國中學(xué)作息時(shí)間、班級規(guī)模、所學(xué)科目、課程內(nèi)容、學(xué)習(xí)負(fù)擔(dān)等學(xué)校生活有具體的了解。

②能力目標(biāo): 通過尋找文章大意及具體細(xì)節(jié)問題的答案，培養(yǎng)學(xué)生快速歸納文章主旨和獲取文章細(xì)節(jié)的閱讀能力。

③ 文化目標(biāo): 通過對課文的學(xué)習(xí)、有助于學(xué)生對英國中學(xué)生活全面而深入的理解，體會(huì)中英兩國之間由于國情、歷史的不同所產(chǎn)生的文化教育的差異。4.教學(xué)的重點(diǎn)和難點(diǎn)

① 重點(diǎn)：對英國中學(xué)生活的具體了解和中英兩國之間的文化教育的差異。

② 難點(diǎn)：如何培養(yǎng)學(xué)生運(yùn)用略讀（skimming）和尋讀（scanning）閱讀技巧來快速獲取主旨大意和細(xì)節(jié)信息的能力。

三、教學(xué)設(shè)計(jì) 1.總體思路

本課的教學(xué)設(shè)計(jì)采用：閱讀前（導(dǎo)入）、閱讀中（略讀，尋讀，辨別正誤，比較, 分組活動(dòng), 鞏固）、閱讀后（運(yùn)用）三部分。2.教學(xué)過程 Step 1 Lead-in T: Now, Class, we have learned English since the primary school, and we have known some British language, culture, history and some other British lives.But do you know what the British school life is really like?

(設(shè)計(jì)說明: 該步驟設(shè)計(jì)根據(jù)教學(xué)目標(biāo)和學(xué)生的認(rèn)知水平，通過比較留學(xué)國外的優(yōu)缺點(diǎn)，使閱讀學(xué)習(xí)通過討論活動(dòng)成為學(xué)生交流的動(dòng)力，把知識(shí)的獲取、規(guī)律的探索、分析解決問題的方法寓于討論之中，真正把閱讀學(xué)習(xí)作為自我探究、自我發(fā)現(xiàn)、主動(dòng)實(shí)踐和合作交流的載體，從而使得學(xué)生有效掌握閱讀內(nèi)容和閱讀技巧。)Step 7 Summary and Assignment T: Today we’ve learned a text about Wei Hua’s experience in the UK.Meanwhile, we have learned the reading strategies: skimming and scanning.Master these and put them into use in future while reading.Through reading we know there are many differences both in the timetable and in the curriculum.Read the passage after class and get familiar with these language points.After class, please finish Parts D and E and have a further discussion with your partners about the topic in Part F.(設(shè)計(jì)說明： 通過課堂教學(xué)，教師完成了對學(xué)生閱讀內(nèi)容的輸入過程，該環(huán)節(jié)設(shè)計(jì)旨在進(jìn)一步鞏固所學(xué)知識(shí)，促進(jìn)學(xué)生形成有效的學(xué)習(xí)策略，提高自主學(xué)習(xí)能力，讓學(xué)生學(xué)會(huì)思考問題、面對陌生的問題和領(lǐng)域?qū)ふ医鉀Q問題的答案和方法，把學(xué)生的目光引向廣闊的知識(shí)海洋，最后能夠?qū)χR(shí)進(jìn)行高效輸出。）

第五篇：牛津高中英語模塊一課文翻譯 UNIT1

牛津高中英語模塊一課文翻譯 UNIT1.在英國的學(xué)校生活

在英國高中讀一年書對于我來說是一個(gè)有趣又刺激的經(jīng)歷。我對學(xué)校的作息時(shí)間很滿意因?yàn)閷W(xué)校在上午9.00左右開始上課在下午3.30放學(xué)。這意味著我可以比往常晚起一個(gè)小時(shí)因?yàn)橹袊膶W(xué)校在8.00之前上課。

第一天，所有的學(xué)生都去參加了會(huì)議。我坐在一個(gè)叫戴安娜的女孩邊上。我們很快成了很要好的朋友。在會(huì)議期間。校長把有關(guān)學(xué)校的校規(guī)告訴了我們。他還告訴我們在學(xué)校贏得別人尊重最好的方法就是努力讀書取得高分。這聽起來就像是我中國的學(xué)校。

在過去的一年里我有很多老師，他們每一個(gè)人都只教一門功課。海伍德先生是我的班主任。我最喜歡的老師是伯克老師。她是教我們英國文明的老師。在我們的班級里只有29個(gè)學(xué)生。這是英國學(xué)校每個(gè)班的學(xué)生平均數(shù)。我們不得不為了上不同的課程而去不同的教室。在一些教室，我們還有不同的同學(xué)，所以記住所有同學(xué)的長相和名字是很困難的。

我發(fā)現(xiàn)家庭作業(yè)也沒有我以前的學(xué)校所布置的多了，但是起初它對于我來說是一個(gè)挑戰(zhàn)因?yàn)樗械墓φn都是英語。我感到很幸運(yùn)因?yàn)槲宜械睦蠋煻己軜酚谥瞬⑶椅液芟矚g我所有的課程：英語，歷史，英國文明，電腦技術(shù)，數(shù)學(xué)，自然科學(xué)，體育，藝術(shù)，烹飪和法語。我的英語改善了不少因?yàn)槲颐刻於荚谑褂糜⒄Z并且每天花一個(gè)小時(shí)在圖書館看英語書。我經(jīng)常在午餐時(shí)間到電腦俱樂部，所以我可以免費(fèi)回復(fù)我家人和朋友的電子郵件。我在周二晚上也有一個(gè)額外的法語。烹飪是真的很有趣因?yàn)槲覍W(xué)會(huì)了怎樣去買，準(zhǔn)備以及烹飪食物。在學(xué)期結(jié)束時(shí)我們還舉辦了班級派對。我們都烹飪了些東西。當(dāng)我的朋友很喜歡我制作的蛋糕時(shí)我很快樂。

在那個(gè)學(xué)校的學(xué)生必須學(xué)習(xí)數(shù)學(xué)，英語和科學(xué)，但是可以放棄一些他們不喜歡的科目，比如歷史，法語和藝術(shù)。他們可以選擇其他科目例如木工制作，電腦技術(shù)或者是像西班牙語德語的語言。在木工制作的課程上我做了一個(gè)小桌子。盡管他剛完工的時(shí)候看上去不像一個(gè)桌子，我仍然很喜歡它。

在午餐時(shí)間我也很想中國的食物。英國的食物實(shí)在是很不同。英國人在他們主食之后會(huì)吃很多的甜點(diǎn)。午飯后，我們經(jīng)常在學(xué)校的操場上玩耍。有時(shí)候我也和男孩們一起踢足球。有時(shí)候我只是坐在樹下或草地上休息。

能體驗(yàn)到如此不同尋常的生活方式我感到很幸運(yùn)，而且我也很希望有一天我還能回來繼續(xù)在曼徹斯特讀書。
