41. A Cockroach in Our Classroom (1)

What would you do if you found a cockroach in your classroom? Would you cry? Would you laugh? Or would you just sit there and do nothing? In my class we did all those.

Suddenly I heard a terrible cry from one of the girls. My heart missed a beat.I heard another cry. I am now thinking to myself“what is going on”! Then there it was! It was at least an inch and a half long, just a little cockroach! Now this was the first time I had seen in real life, but from all the pictures and the movies I had seen in the past, I could tell it was a cockroach.

My teacher quickly ran to fetch some paper towels.To be honest, I didn’t think that window cleaner could help. I was wrong. The little cockroach got a big drop of “The Window Cleaner”, and lying on the floor,did not move.

41.教室里出现一只蟑螂(l)

如果发现你的教室里有一只蟑螂你会怎么做?你会大叫吗?会大笑吗?或者你只是坐在那里什么也不做(do nothing)吗?在我们教室里,以上种种行为全都有。

突然间我听到一个女孩的可怕的叫声。我的心跳(beat)停了一下。我又听到一声喊叫。我心想(think to oneself)“发生什么事了(what is going on)”,接着我看到了!是一只至少(at least) 一英寸(inch)半长的小蟑螂!这是我第一次在真实的生活中看到。以前在图片里和电影(movie)里看到过,因此我知道那是一只蟑螂。

我们的老师快速跑去拿来(fetch) 一些纸巾(paper towel)。说实话(to be honest),我本以为窗户(window)清洁剂不会起什么作用,但我错了。这只小蟑螂被淋了一大滴“窗户清洁剂”,躺在地板上(lie on the floor),不动(move)了。

41.A Cockroach in Our Classroom (2)

Well that was just the beginning.Ok, here is the whole story.My teacher walked over to the, now not moving, cockroach.If you have a weak stomach I am warning you now...she stepped on it.

I don't know if you have seen the movies where someone steps on the cockroach and you hear a loud “CRUNCH”(嘎扎嘎扎的压碎), but I can tell you right now that those movies are one-hundred percent true.

I was laughing hard that I was crying.I looked around the classroom Some of my friends were laughing too.Of course the girly girls were crying and some of the other kids thought it was no big deal and just sat there reading their books.

My teacher was not very happy to find out that she was the one who had to clean up the dirty place.

Most people will not realize that when you step on a cockroach it will make a terrible sound you may not want to hear.So when you ever go to kill a cockroach,watch out for “THE CRUNCH”.

41.教室里出现一只蟑螂(2)

那只是开始,现在才是完整的故事。我们的老师走向这个,现在已经不动了的,蟑螂。如果你的胃口(stomach)不好,我现在可提醒你……她踩了上去。

我不知道你是否看过这样的电影,某人踩到蟑螂上,然后你听到响亮的“嘎扎嘎扎”声,但现在我告诉你那些电影是百分之百(one-hundred percent)的真实。

我笑的眼泪都要出来了。我环顾教室,我的一些朋友也在笑。当然,一些娇弱的女孩正在大喊大叫,其他一些孩子认为不是什么大事(no big deal)。只管坐在那里看书。

我们的老师不太高兴,她发现她是唯一要善后打扫(clean up)这个脏(dirty)地方的人。

大部分人没有意识到(realize)当你踩蟑螂时会发出一种可怕的你不想听到的声音(sound)。因此,你要杀死一只蟑螂时,当心(watch out)那“嘎扎嘎扎”的声音。

42.This Is My Supper

Miss Green ate a lot for every meal, and she liked eating meat, especially pork and beef. So she was very fat.She weighed 100 kilos and she got heavier every month.

One day she went to see a doctor.The doctor said, “You have to go on a diet(节食), Miss Green “He gave her a small book and said, “This is a book on how to lose your weight. Please eat the things on page 11 every day.Then come back and see me in two weeks.”

Miss Green came again two weeks later, but she wasn't thinner.She was much fatter.The doctor was surprised and said, “Are you eating the things on page 11 0f the small book?’’‘‘Yes, doctor.“She answered.The next day, the doctor visited Miss Green when she was having her meals.“Miss Green,”he said, “Why are you eating potatoes and dumplings?They

are not on the list of your diet.”“But doctor,”Miss Green answered, “I ate my diet at lunch time This is my supper.”

Funny enough! That's why Miss Green is getting fat.But since then, Miss Green has made up her mind to lose weight, and she has made an effort to follow the doctor’s advice

42.这是我的晚餐

格林小姐每顿吃很多,她喜欢吃肉,尤其是猪肉(pork)和牛肉(beef)。因此她很胖(fat),重(weigh)达100公斤(100kilos),而且一月比一月重(heavy)。

一天,她去看医生。医生说:“你必须要节食,格林小姐”,他递给她一本小书,然后说:“这是一本关于如何减轻体重(lose weight)的书。你每天只吃第11页(page)中所列出的食物。两周后再来医院。”

格林小姐两周后又来了,但她没有变瘦(thin),反而更胖了。医生很吃惊,问她:“你是吃那本小书里第11页的食物吗?”“是的,医生。”她答道。第二天,当格林小姐正在吃饭时医生拜访了她。“格林小姐,你为什么吃土豆(potatoes)和水饺(dumplings)呢?那页食物清单(list)里没有这些。”“医生,可我是在午餐时吃规定的食物,”格林小姐回答:“这是我的晚餐(supper)。”

真有趣!那就是格林小姐更胖的原因了。但从那以后,格林小姐就下定决心(make up one's mind)要减肥,还努力(make an effort to do)遵循医生的建议。

43.Two Travelers

Two men were going along a lonely road and talking of what they would do if a bear or wolves attack(进攻)them.“Never fear,”said the larger one, “I can protect myself and you too, so there will be no danger.There is nothing in the forest for any man to fear, except a hungry bear, and I'd like to meet the bear that could be a match for me.”

Just at that time, a huge bear appeared in the road and moved towards the two men.

The two men ran for a tree.The one who had spoken so bravely reached it first and climbed to safety.The smaller man.being left to face the bear alone, threw himself on the ground and lay as if dead.When the bear came up, he smelt the man on the ground and went away.Then the larger man came down from the tree and said, “What did the bear say in your ear?You seemed like old friends.”

“Oh,”the other answered, “he told me never to trust a boaster(自夸者)”

43.两位旅行者

两个人沿着一条荒凉的(lonely)公路(road)前行,他们谈到如果遭遇一只熊(bear)或狼群(wolves)进攻该如何应付。

“不要害怕(fear),”个头较大的那人说,“我可以保护咱们俩,不会有危险(danger)。在那片森林里没有什么好怕的,除了(except) 一头饥饿的熊之外。我倒是想碰到一只能成为我对手(match)的熊”。

正在那时,一只巨大的熊出现在公路上,朝这两个人赶来。

这两个人向一棵树跑去。之前讲话很勇敢(bravely)的那个人先跑到树下,然后爬到一个安全(safety)位置。个头较小的人现在要独自面对那只熊,于是他就躺在地上,仿佛(as if)死了(dead) 一样。当那只熊走近时,它闻了闻地上的那人,然后离开了.接着个头较大的人从树上下来,问,“那只熊在你耳朵(ear)边说什么呢?你们看起来像是老朋友一样。”“哦,”另一位回答道,“它告诉我决不要信任(trust)吹牛者”。

44.People Around the World Communicating in English

In only fifty years, English has developed into the language most widely spoken and used in the world.English is the working language of most international originations(组织), international trade and tourism (旅游业).

Chinese businessmen, taxi drivers and students talk with them using English.English is also the language of world culture, such as pop music and the Internet You can listen to English songs on the radio or use English to communicate with people around the world through the Internet.With so many people communicating in English every day, it will become more and more important to have a good knowledge of English.

44.世界各地的人用英语交流

在短短五十年间,英语已发展成为(develop into)世界上说的最多、使用最广泛(most widely)的语言(language)。英语是大部分国际组织、国际贸易(international trade)与旅游业的工作语言。

生意人与游客(tourist)经常来到中国却不会讲汉语。中国商人、计程车(taxi)司机以及学生就用英语和他们交谈。英语也是世界文化的语言,如流行音乐(pop music)以及互联网(the Internet)。你可以通过无线广播(on the radio)听英文歌曲(song)或用英语通过互联网与世界各

地的人交流(communicate)。每天都有很多的人用英语交流,精通(have a good knowledge of)英语将变得越来越重要。

45.旅行日志

3月24日,星期六,

我们到达(arrive in)炎热潮湿的曼谷,泰国的首都(capital)。这是我们首次宋到泰国。各种不同的气味不禁让我们产生品尝这些食物的欲望。今晚我们打算吃点特别的晚餐。我们预订(book)的那家旅馆(hotel)虽然便宜,但干净整洁(tidy)。我们计划在这里逗留(stay)几天,游览这座城市里的宫殿(palace)等一些景点,然后去北部的清迈。

3月30日,星期五

我们去清莱的旅程长而枯燥(boring)。我们游览了山里的一个小村庄(small village)。这里的村民喜欢安静的生活一没有电脑和电话。他们是我所见过的最友好的(the kindest)人。在这里我感觉很好,希望明年还能再来这里。

46.The Blue Pig with a Black Tail

Once upon a time(从前) a certain king sent a message to another king, saying, “Send me a blue pig with a black tail,or else——”

The other replied, “I haven't one; if I had——”

Both kings were so angry that they went to war with each other.They collected all their soldiers and fought with each other.Brave men were killed, and women and children died because they could get nothing to eat.

When it seemed that neither side could win the war, the kings began to talk about peace. First of all, it was necessary to explain the two messages.Each king was angry at what the other had said.

“What did you mean,”Asked the second king, “by saying, ‘sending a blue pig with a black tail, or else——’?”

“Why,”said the first king, “I could mean only one thing.I meant that I wanted you to send me a blue pig with a black tail, or else a pig of some other color.”

“Oh, that was all, was it? I did not get the whole of your message,”answered the second king.“What a pity!“He added.

“Ah, but I must know what you meant by your reply to my message,”asked the first king.“You said, 'I haven't one; if I had——”'

“Why, my answer is very clear.I meant that I hadn't one; if I had, I should have sent it to you.”

“Well, well! “said the first king, “We have been fighting about nothing.If we had only explained these things before the war started, then this bitter war must have been avoided.”

So the great war of the blue pig with the black tail was recorded in the histories

of the two countries in order to prevent such a war happening again.

46.黑尾巴的蓝猪

从前有位国王给另一位国王送去一条信息,说,“给我送来一只长着黑尾巴(tail)的蓝猪,或者其他的”

另一位回答说,“我没有这样的猪,如果我有——”。

两位国王如此生气以致于(so angry that)发动了战争。他们调集所有士兵去打仗。勇敢的士兵死在战场上,女人和孩子因为没有食物而死去。

看来好像(it seemed that.)双方都不能(neither side could)打赢这场战争,于是两位国王开始谈论和平(talk about peace)。首先(first of all),有必要去解释(explain)那两条信息。两位国王都因对方所说的话而生气。

第二位国王问道,“你当时说‘送我一只长着黑尾巴的蓝猪,否则——’,你那么说是什么意思?”

“怎么,”第一位国王回答道,“我只能表示一个意思啊,我是说我希望你给我送一只黑尾巴的蓝猪,或者其他颜色的猪。”(注:or else可有两种解释,一是作为短语,译为“否则”,二是作为两个单独的单词,放在一起译为“或者其他”)

第二位国王回答,“哎呀!就是这个意思啊?我没有理解你信息的全部。”他补充说(add)。“真可惜(what a pity)!”

“嗯,但我必须知道你的回信是什么意思,”第一位国王补充道,“你说‘我没有这样的猪,即使我有——’”。

“我的回答很清楚啊。我是说我没有那样的猪;如果有的话,我会送给你的。”

“哎呀!”第一位国王说,“我们之间的战争毫无理由。如果我们能在战争开始之前解释清楚这些事情,这场痛苦的战争(bitter war)就一定能避免(avoid)。”

于是这场关于黑尾巴的蓝猪的战争被载入(was recorded)两国史册以防止(prevent)此类现象再次发生。

47.A Girl's Smile

About ten years ago when I was a student in college,life was hard for me then.Both my parents had lost their jobs, so I worked at my University's Museum in my spare time.One day while working in the gift shop, I saw an old couple come in with a little girl in a wheelchair.

As I looked closer at this girl, I found that she had no arms or legs, just a head, neck and torso(躯干).She was wearing a pretty white dress,also a little red cap.

When they came closer to me, I turned my head toward the girl and gave her a wink(眨眼).As I took the money from her grandparents,I looked back at the girl, who was giving me the prettiest, largest smile I had ever seen.

All of a sudden her handicap(残疾)was gone and all I saw was this perfect girl.I was deeply moved by her smile, and almost immediately she gave me a completely new sense of what life is all about.She took me from a poor, unhappy college student and brought me into her world: a world of smiles, love and warmth.

That was ten years ago.I'm a successful business person now and whenever I am in low spirits and think about the troubles of the world, I'll think about that little girl and the lesson about life that she taught me, so I will never lose courage.

47.一个女孩的微笑

大约十年前,我还在大学(college)里学习,那时的生活很艰难。我的父母都失业了,因此,我在业余时间去大学博物馆工作,有一天,当我正在礼品店工作时(while working in the gift shop),我看到一对老年夫妇推着一个坐在轮椅(wheelchair)里的小女孩进来了。

当我仔细看这女孩时,我发现她没有胳膊和腿,只有头(head)、颈和躯干。她穿着漂亮的(pretty)白色衣服(dress),还戴着一顶小红帽(cap)。

当他们走近我时,我转向这个女孩并对她眨了眨眼。我从她的祖父母(grandparents)手里接过钱时,我又回头看看那个女孩,她正在给我一个最漂亮、最灿烂的微笑。

突然间她的残疾消失了,我所看到的是一个完美的(perfect)女孩。她的笑容深深地(deeply)打动了我,几乎立刻让我对人生有了全新的(completely new)感觉(sense)。她把我从一个贫穷不幸大学生带入了她的世界:一个微笑、爱和温暖的世界。

那是十年前的事了。现在我已是一名成功的商人。无论何时(whenever)我情绪低落(in low spirits)、因烦恼而忧虑时,我就会想起那个小女孩和她教给我的关于生活的教训,因此,我从未丧失勇气(lose courage)。

48.Take Our Daughters to Work Day

On April 27 is Take Our Daughters to Work Day in Brkain.Started in America and brought to Britain in 1994, Take Our Daughters to Work Day has become a special day for girls between 11 and 15.On that day thousands of girls take a day off school and go together with one of their parents to their work places.The purpose of this day is to open up girls' eyes and get them to believe in themselves

For many years people have thought that boys can do better than girls in society. But in fact girls can be whatever they want to be just like boys, whether it is a pilot, a nurse or a manager. On this special day, girls can have a close look at what their parents are doing and this may help girls to believe in themselves when they need to choose their work.

Schools and many companies also think this activity useful.Green Middle School for Girls, in north London has made the day a necessary part of education.

Zarina, 15, studying in Green Middle school, went to her mother's law office. She found it interesting to see her mother at work She has always liked this idea of going into law and thinks maybe she will does the same work as her mother later.

If parents believe in their daughters and show examples bath at work and at home for them, this will give a lot of help to girls.Take Our Daughters to, Work Day is certainly a step in the right direction.

48.带着女儿上班节

4月(April) 27日在英国是“带着女儿去上班节”。这个节日起源于美国。1994年传入英国,它已成为11至15岁之间女孩的特殊节日。那一天,成千上万的女孩休假一天(take a day off),与父亲或母亲一起(together)去他们的工作场所。这个节日的目的(purpose)是让女孩开阔眼界,让她们相信自己(believe in themselves)。

很多年来,人们认为男孩在社会中(in society)可以比女孩做得更好,但实际上,女孩可以像男孩一样做她们想做的任何工作,无论是飞行员(pilot)、护士还是经理(manager)都可以。在这个特殊的日子(on this special day),女孩可以近距离地观察她们的父母在做什么,这可能会有助于女孩在选择工作时增加自信。

学校和许多公司也认为这项活动(activity)很有用。伦敦北部的格林女子中学已经把这一天作为教育的必要组成部分了。

15岁的加莱纳就读于格林中学,她去了她妈妈的律师事务所(law office).她发现看她妈妈工作很有意思。她一直有步入法律界的想法,她想可能以后她会像妈妈一样工作。

如果家长相信他们的女儿,在工作中、在家里都为她们树立榜样会对她们有很大帮助。“带女儿去上班节”无疑是朝正确的方向(in the right direction)迈进了一步。

50.A Flying Sail

That summer was a hot one in Boston Almost every afternoon, I Went swimming in a nearby swimming pool with my best friend, Ben Franklin We loved those long, hot days.

On one pleasant afternoon, Ben was late I went to his house and climbed upstairs to his small bedroom He was sitting there making a kite

“What's with the kite?”I said, “I thought we were going swimming.”

Ben smiled at me and said, “We need the kite for swimming.”

“Who goes swimming with a kite?”I asked

“I do,”Ben said.His blue eyes were shining.

With such a clever friend, I got used to hearing crazy ideas.I just shook my head, “I'd like to see how you do it.”

Half an hour later, we were standing on the bank of the pool.Ben held his crazy kite in one hand and a log(圆木)in the other.He sat on the bank, took off his shoes, and tied the end of the kite thread to his foot.Then he flew the kite into the air and let the wind catch it.The kite rose over the swimming pool.

“This is fantastic!“I shouted

Ben smiled at me and jumped into the pool.He threw one arm over his log,

leaned(倚靠) back, and let the kite pull him across the pool.“Oh, I get it ! “I cried, “It's a flying sail!”

50.飞航

在波士顿那个炎热的夏季,几乎每天下午,我都和最好的朋友本·富兰克林去附近的一个泳池(swimming pool)游泳。我们热爱那些漫长炎热的夏日。

在一个宜人的午后,本来迟了。我就去了他家,爬上楼(climb upstairs)来到他的小卧室(bedroom)。他正坐在那儿做一个风筝(kite)。

“用这个风筝干什么?”我说,“我本以为我们要去游泳的。”

本对我笑了笑说,“我们需要这个风筝去游泳。”

“谁会带着个风筝去游泳呢?”我问道。

“我会,”本说,他蓝色的眼睛闪闪发亮(shine)。

有这么一个聪明的朋友,我习惯于(get used to)听到疯狂的(crazy)想法。我只是摇摇头(shake),说,“我倒想看看你怎么做。”

半个小时后,我们来到了泳池的岸边(bank)。本一只手抓着他那荒唐的风筝,另一只手拿着根圆木。他坐在岸边,脱掉衣服,然后把风筝线(thread)的一端系在一只脚上。然后他把风筝放飞,让风带动它。风筝在泳池上空升起(rise)。

“这太棒了(fantastic)!”我大喊道。

本对我笑着,然后跳进(jump into)泳池。他一只胳膊抱着他的圆木,向后仰着,让风筝拉着(pull)他游过泳池。

“噢,我明白了!”大叫道,“这是一次飞航!”

51.The Colorful World

The world around us is full of colors: the grass is green, the sky is blue.What a pity it will be if people can not see all the colors.But there are people who are blind to certain colors.

Human color blindness is a strange thing to explain In a single eye there are millions of very small things called “cones(锥形物)”.They help us to see in bright light and to tell the difference between colors There are also millions of “rods(视网膜杆)”but they are used for seeing when it is nearly dark.They show us shape but not the color.

Some birds and animals' eyes have few or no cones, so they cannot see colors. cats and dogs cannot see colors as well as we can

Some insects(昆虫) can even see X-rays.Scientists know that there are other colors around us which insects can see but which we cannot see.

Human beings have favorite colors.Blue is often popular because it is the color of the cool sky and sea Green is the color which makes us think of grass, field and forest. Yellow is the color of the sun. On the other hand, red is the color of blood and fire.It makes some people think of accidents, danger and blood.Black is the color of the night.In the dark we cannot see what is around us, so we are sometimes afraid of the unknown and do not like black as a color.

51.多彩的世界

我们周围的世界充满(be full of)色彩:草(grass)是绿色的,天空是蓝色的。如果人看不到所有这些颜色,那将是多么遗憾的事呀!但有些人对某些颜色的确是看不见的(blind)。

人类的色盲很难解释。在一只眼睛(a single eye)里有几百万(millions of)叫做“视锥”的微小物质。它们帮助我们在亮光(bright light)下看清并辨别颜色的差异(tell the difference between colors)。单眼中也有几百万“视网膜杆”,但它们是用来(be used for)在天色几乎(nearly)黑下来时看清东西的,它们为我们显示形状(shape)而非颜色。

一些鸟和动物的眼睛有很少(few)或没有视锥,所以它们看不到颜色。猫和狗不能和我们一样看清颜色。

一些昆虫甚至可以看到X射线(X-ray)。科学家们知道,我们周围有些其他颜色昆虫可以看到而我们却无法看到。

人类有最偏爱的颜色。蓝色常受欢迎是因为它是凉爽的天空和海洋的颜色。绿色是让我们想起草地、骤野和森林的颜色,黄色是太阳(sun)色。另一方面,红色是血(blood)与火(fire)的颜色,使一些人想起事故、危险和流血。黑色是夜的颜色.在黑暗中(in the dark),我们看不到周围的一切,所以我们有时害怕未知的(unknown)事物,不喜欢黑色。

越来越多的人在使用电脑。通过电脑你可以迅速快捷地发送电邮(e-mail).你能够发送附带照片和声音的邮件给世界上任何地方(anywhere)的人而无需粘贴邮票。电邮可以在几秒中(in seconds)把邮件发送给地球另一边的人。电邮使用方便,节省时间和金钱。可以24小时地服务(serve).当你的朋友在床上睡觉时你可以给他们发邮件,当他们给你回复邮件时,可能你正在影院(at the cinema)看电影(see a film)。

现在电脑对学生也很重要。许多学生喜欢上网(surf the Internet),但一些学生只玩游戏而不是通过电脑查找有用信息及学习。此外,他们花太多时间用电脑,这对他们的健康非常不利。

你能想象(imagine)未来没有教师只有电脑吗?未来(in the future)学生们将在学校里自学。那时,学生会携带一台个人电脑(personal computer)而不是一个书包.教师将会消失(disappear)。电脑帮助学生培养他们自己的学习方式。学生通过在线图书馆跟踪学习节目(program),观看课程。学生可以利用(take advantage of)各种学习网站(website)。

54.Frogs Longing for a King

There once lived many frogs in a great pond under a bridge They had an excellent home and all the food they wished, but they were not satisfied They made speeches in the pond. They said they should have a king, Then they asked the God to give them a king.The God gave them a big piece of wood The wood did not move at all, so the frogs went to ask the God to give them a king which could take action. The God sent them an eel(鳗鱼), but the frogs thought the eel was too small and did not look like a king, so the eel was not welcome in the pond. Then the frogs went to the God again, for the last time, the frogs were given a stork(白鹤)as their king.They believed the stork was great, which could rule over them, so they showed honor to the stork.But the stork ate all the frogs one by one until there was hardly any frog left in the whole pond. How much better it would have been for the frogs if they had been satisfied with their life!

54.渴望国王的青蛙

从前有许多青蛙(frog)住在桥(bridge)下的一个大池塘(pond)里。他们有极好的(excellent)家,还有很多喜欢的食物,但它们并不满意(satisfied)。他们在池塘里发表演讲(speech)。它们说它们应该有个国王。然后它们请求上帝(the God)给它们一个国王。上帝给了它们一大截木头(wood)。木头根本不(not...at all)动,于是这些青蛙去找上帝,要求给它们一个能够采取行动(take action)的国王。上帝给它们送来一条鳗鱼,但青蛙们认为鳗鱼太小了,看起来不像(look like)个国王,因此这条鳗鱼在池塘里不受欢迎(not welcome)。然后它们又去找上帝了,最后一次,上帝给了它们一只白鹤当它们的国王。它们认为这只白鹳很伟大,可以统治它们,于是它们对白鹳表示尊敬(honor)。但这只白鹳却把所有的青蛙一个接着一个吃掉了,整个池塘几乎没有(hardly any)青蛙了。

如果这些青蛙对它们的生活满意的话那该多好啊!

Many people who are alive today know what it is like to live in a world without television. Television is only about forty years old.Yet it has been an important part in our lives.

Some people think that the years before television were a better time.They believe that families talked more and did more things together.More books were read.People got more outdoor exercise.

But others disagree They say that television is a good tool for education It tells us what is happening in the world.It provides plenty of fun for us.It helps us understand how people live and work.

Although some people describe television as a great teacher, others say television has caused the poor reading and writing skills of our people Television gets praise for helping us understand the people of the world.But it also has influence on family life.Television tells us the news of the day.But it can also make us lazy by giving only short news instead of telling the whole story.

Even people who love television are not happy with it.They think there are too many advertisements on television.People will probably continue to discuss about television’s value. But everyone agrees that it is one of the most important inventions of the twentieth century.

55.电视的价值

很多现在还在世的(alive)人知道没有电视时人们的生活情形。电视出现至今只有40多年的时间,然而(yet)它已经成为我们生活中一个重要的部分。

有些人认为电视出现之前的日子更美好。他们说过去家里人花更多的时间在一起聊天,或一起做更多的事,他们会读更多的书,进行更多的户外锻炼(outdoor exercise)。

但有些人不同意。他们说电视是很好的教育工具,它让我们了解世界各地发生的事情,它为我们提供了很多娱乐(plenty of fun),它帮助我们了解人们如何生活和工作。

尽管(although)有人把电视描述(describe)为了不起的教师,但也有人说人们读写技能(skill)的降低是电视导致的。电视因帮助我们了解世界各地而得到赞扬(praise),但电视也对家庭生活有影响(influence)。电视让我们了解当今的新闻时事,也让我们变得懒惰(lazy) ——我们只能获悉简短的新闻摘要,而不是整个事件的始末。

甚至连喜欢看电视的人也对它不满意。他们说电视里的广告(advertisement)太多了。人们很可能还会继续讨论(discuss)电视的价值(value)。但有一点人们已经达成共识,那就是电视是20世纪(the twentieth century)最重大的发明(invention)之一。

56.The Flower-bed's Secret (1)

Once there was an English prince(王子).His name was Henry.Prince Henry liked to study languages, but smiles never came on his face.His father, the King, loved him dearly, and tried to make him happy in every possible way.

The King gave the boy a small horse,so that he might ride when he liked.The King also had a boat made for the Prince, so that he might sail on the lake.

Yet the young Prince was not happy.One day the King had an interview with a man named Sir Arthur.Prince Henry was also there, with an unhappy face, as usual Sir Arthur turned to the King, and said; “1 have a method to make Prince Henry happy, but you have to send him to the countryside “At first, the King refused, but Sir Arthur insisted on taking the Prince to the country, finally, the King agreed.

56.花坛的秘密(1)

从前有位英国王子叫亨利。亨利王子喜欢学习语言,但他的脸上从来没有笑容。他的父亲即国王非常爱他,尽力用所有可能的方法让他快乐。

国王给这个男孩一匹小马(small horse),这样他乐意时就可以骑马。国王还让人给王子造了一艘小船(The King also had a boat made for the Prince),这样他可以在湖上(on the lake)航行。

然而(yet)年轻的王子还是不快乐。有一天国王会见(interview) 一位亚瑟爵士。亨利王子也在那里,一副不开心的样子,和平时一样(as usual)。

亚瑟爵士转向(turn to)国王,说,“我有一个方法(method)可以让亨利王子快乐,但您必须送他去乡下(countryside)。”起初(at first),国外拒绝了,但亚瑟爵士坚持(insist)带王子去乡下,最后,国王同意了。

56.The Flower-bed's Secret (2)

Prince Henry and Sir Arthur went to Sir Arthur's house.His big yard was divided into two parts-inside yard and outside yard, and the outside yard was a big garden with a flowerbed.Sir Arthur cancelled all his activities and stayed with the Prince at home He told Henry, “Do you know my flowerbed can talk, and it has a secret.”The prince thought it very strange.Sir Arthur went on, “it tells the secret only to those who watch it every day. If you learn the secret, you will be happy every day in the year.” Prince Henry looked, but there was no flower, not even a leaf upon it.

Then he circled the flower-bed every day, even a storm came he didn't go inside, so he caught a cold and coughed badly.

Many days passed——The flowerbed was wet, and the warm sun shone upon it.At last, one fine morning, he saw tiny plants coming up.

Day after day he saw that these plants made lines,and that the lines formed some letters. He thought about the spelling and tried to translate them into his own language At last, he got it: DO SOME GOOD TO SOMEONE EVERY DAY.

56.花坛的秘密(2)

亨利王子和亚瑟爵士去了亚瑟爵士的家。他的大院子被分成(be divided into)两部分一里院和外院,外院是一个有花坛的大花园。亚瑟爵士取消(cancel)他所有的活动,在家里陪着王子。他告诉亨利,“我的花坛会讲话,它有一个秘密。”王子觉得很奇怪。亚瑟爵士继续说道,“它只把秘密说给那些每天关注它的人。如果你知道了这个秘密,你会在这一年里每天都快乐。”

亨利王子看着花坛,但上面没有花朵,甚至连一片树叶也没有。然后,他每天围绕(circle)花坛转,即使暴风雨(storm)来临他也不进屋,结果他感冒(catch a cold)了,咳嗽(cough)不止。

许多天过去了……花坛被打湿了,然后温暖的太阳又照在上面。终于,一个美好的早晨,他看到微小的植物长出来了。

日复一日,他看到这些植物长成一条条线(line),然后这些植物线条构成(form)一些字母。他思考着将这些字母拼写(spell)成单词,然后翻译(translate)成他自己的语言。终于,他明白了:每天为别人做点好事。

57.Lewis and Clark Reach the Pacific

I clean the rain off my face.Most explorers (探险家) hope to find land, but Meriwether Lewis and I, William Clark, came all the way from St.Louis to reach the Pacific Ocean. I turn around and face the rest of our ship members.

“We did it!”I shout,putting up our flag.Everyone cheers as loudly as waves(波浪) hitting the rocks.“We've paddled (划桨)upstream, walked a long way over snowy mountains, and faced hunger and many other dangers. ”

At the time, I see the girl.She keeps silent “Of course, without the help of our Indian friend, we wouldn't have made it Thank you, miss.”

I look back at the Pacific and notice that Meriwether looks unhappy.I truly can understand why.We had hoped to see Asian trading ships at sea, but there are no ships anywhere.We planned to sail home by sea.Maybe the ships will come soon.If not, we'll have to go back the same way we came.

57.刘易斯和克拉克到达太平洋

我擦去脸上的雨水。大部分探险家希望发现大陆,但梅里韦瑟·刘易斯和我,威廉·克拉克,从圣·路易斯一路行来到达了太平洋(the Pacific Ocean),我环顾四周,面对着我们的其他船员。

“我们做到了!”我大喊道,并举起(put up)我们的旗帜(flag)。大家欢呼(cheer),声音洪亮(loudly)就像海浪击打(hit)到岩石(rock)上。“我们划桨逆流而上(upstream),长途跋涉穿过雪山(snowy mountain),面对饥饿(hunger)和许多其他危险。”

这时我看到莎卡嘉薇亚。她保持沉默(keep silent)。“当然了,没有我们的印第安(Indian)朋友莎卡嘉薇亚的帮助,我们不可能完成。谢谢你,莎卡嘉薇亚”。

我回头望着太平洋并注意到梅里韦瑟看上去不开心。我的确可以理解他的心情。我们本希望在海上看到亚洲的(Asian)商船,可是却没有。我们计划乘船(by sea)回家。可能不久会有船来。如果没有,我们将不得不沿原路返回了。

58.The Cat That Rang the Bell

The cat lived in a nunnery(女修道院).She had noticed that when a certain bell was rung, a group of nuns(修女) would come for their meals.and she also received her food.

One day she was shut up in a room by herself when she heard the bell ring.But she couldn't open the door, the window was too high to reach, and the glass was too strong to break.At last, after some hours, the door was opened.She hurried to the place where she expected to find her dinner, but no dinner there.She was very hungry, and hunger made her clever.She knew where the rope hung which pulled the bell.“Now, when that bell rings I generally get my supper,”she thought as she ran towards the rope.That was a thick rope.It was easy for her to reach the rope.She jumped upon it. It gave a pleasant sound.As she was swinging,she thought, “Now I shall get my supper, though I have lost my dinner.”The bell rang louder and louder.

The nuns hearing the bell ring at so unusual an hour, and came hurrying to the bell. They wondered what was wrong. To their great surprise, they saw it was the cat which rang the bell! They couldn't understand and thought for some time, till the sister who gave the cat her meals remembered that she had not been present at dinner time, and then, she brought double meals to the cat immediately.

58.敲钟的猫

这只猫住在一家女修道院里。她注意到当某个钟(bell)敲响(ring)时,一群(a group of)修女就会来吃饭,她也可以得到她的食物。

有一天她把自己关闭(shut)在一间屋子里,那时她听到钟声响了。但她无法打开门,窗户太高了够不着,玻璃(glass)太结实了无法打破(break)。最后,几个小时后,门终于被打开了。她匆忙赶到她期盼(expect)可以找到午餐的地方,但那里却没有午餐。她太饿了,饥饿让她变得聪明。她知道拉响钟声的绳子悬挂(hang)在哪儿。“现在,要是那挂钟响了,一般我就可以得到我的晚餐了。”当她朝绳子跑去时,她这样想着。那是一根粗绳子(a thick rope)。她可以很容易地够到绳子。她一跃而起跳上了绳子。绳子响起了悦耳的声音。在她摇摆(swing)时,她想,“现在我将要得到我的晚餐了,尽管我没有吃上午餐。”钟声越来越响了。

修女们听到钟声在这不寻常的时间内响起,便匆匆赶到钟所在的地方。她们想知道(wonder)到底发生什么事了。让她们非常惊奇的是(to their great surprise),她们看到敲响钟的竟是那只猫。她们无法理解,还想了一段时间,后来,给这只猫喂食的那位修女想起这只猫在午饭时间不在场(present),然后,她就立即给这只猫拿来了双倍的(double)食物。

59.Chopsticks

Chopsticks are an ancient way of eating food, and even though they were developed some 5,000 years ago in China, the tradition is still alive around the modern world.There are many reasons for using chopsticks, but probably they developed because using two sticks of wood allows one to get close enough to get the food out of a pot (锅) without burning themselves.

Although forks and knives and other pointed tools have been introduced to China over the years, chopsticks have remained the main way to eat food Chopsticks are mostly made from wood, with bamboo being the most widely used.Foreigners like to buy silk chopsticks as gifts.

The Chinese people usually eat from a bowl or small plate They use chopsticks to eat noodles and rice, but Koreans(韩国人)eat their rice with a spoon.

59.筷子

筷子(chopsticks)是一种古老的吃饭工具。尽管(even though)筷子是五千多年前在中国发展起来的,这个传统在当今世界依然是方兴未艾。使用筷子有很多原因,但筷子的兴起很可能是由于用两根木制的棍(stick)可以使人在距离锅足够近的地方,把食物从锅里取出来而不会烫伤(burn)自己。

这些年来,尽管刀叉(knife and fork)和其他带尖的工具已经传入(introduce)中国,筷子却仍然是主要的(main)吃饭方式。

筷子大部分是木制的,竹子(bamboo)应用的最广泛。外国人(foreigner)喜欢购买丝绸(silk)筷子当作礼物。

中国人通常利用碗(bowl)或小盘子吃饭。他们使用筷子吃面条(noodles)和米饭,但韩国人用汤匙(spoon)吃米饭。

60.Beijing Zoo

Beijing Zoo has many animals such as the giant (巨大的)panda and the golden monkey, and also has the animals from all over the world——elephant, camel,giraffe, tiger,lion, zebra, etc.

Beijing Zoo covers an area of more than 50,000 square meters and there are more than 30 large halls.It is also a famous center of zoological(动物的) research

Recently,a new form of ticketing has been introduced at Beijing Zoo——a -like ticket There is music and video of the animals in the.You can read it through your computer or V player.There is also an important message on the CD:we should all help protect the environment where we live.

The old man was really 47 at fishing and it didn’t take long for him to catch a full basket of fish. The old man saw that the child was very cute, and he wanted to give 48 a whole basket of fish. But the child shook her head. The old man was 49 and asked, “Why don’t you want the fish?” The child 50 , “I want the fishing rod(竿) i n your hands.” The old man asked, “Why do you want the rod?” “It doesn’t take long to eat all the fish in a basket. But 51 I have the fishing rod, I can go fishing by myself and I won’t be afraid of not having any more fish to eat.” I think you will certainly say that the child is very smart. Wrong! If she doesn’t know 52 to fish, she cannot have fish to eat, even though she gets the fishing rod. It’s useless to only have a fishing rod. Fishing skills are the 53 important, not the fishing rod. Too many people think that if they have a “fishing rod” in their life, they will 54 longer be afraid of the wind and rain. They are just 55 the child.

中考英语短文填空题(12选10)解题技巧Alex

中考英语短文填空题(12选10)答题指导 一、短文填空题型说明 短文填空也叫综合填空,其特点是将一篇短文中的若干个词抽出后,要求考生根据短文的意思,在每个空格中填上一个词,使短文意思完整正确。它是测试同学们理解能力及对词汇、语法和习惯用法等的掌握情况的一种形式。这是中考中一个比较难的项目。其原因是考点不明确:凡涉及英文的理解、词汇、语法和习惯用法的都可以考。内容更是包罗万象:天文地理、历史人文、科技发展、旅游广告等。要求同学们在读通、读懂的基础上,填出符合内容和语法的词或词组。凡是课文中学到的词汇和语法都是考试的范围,各种介词、副词和习惯用法也会经常考到。尤其对于长句子,特别要注意其结构,要精确地分析句子成分。在做综合填空时,要养成快速阅读全文的习惯。句子读得越快越长,理解的精度就越高。根据其难度的不同又分为选词填空题、限词填空题和自由填空题。 二、短文填空解题思路 1. 跳过空格,通读短文,了解大意。解题时先跳过空格,通读完形填空的短文,了解全篇的内容和要旨。要重视首句,善于以首句的时态、语气为立足点,理清文脉,推测全文时态、主题及大意。 2. 复读短文,确定语义,判断词形。把握短文大意后再认真复读短文,利用上下文的语境,结合所学过的知识,先确定空格处所需词语的意义,再根据空格在句子中的位置,判断其在句中充当的成分,从而确定所填词的词性,再依据词语搭配和语法规则,判断所填的词的正确形式。 3. 三读短文,上下参照,验证答案。在短文的空白处分别填上一个词后,将完成的短文再细读一遍,上下参照,连贯思考。可从上、下文内容是否协调一致、顺理成章,语法结构是否正确无误等进行综合验证,凡有疑问必须重新推敲考虑。 三、做短文填空题的注意之处 1. 语义完整、适用是做好填词的前提,要从全文的内容出发,前后上下联系起来考虑,避免“只见树木,不见森林”的错误。 2. 要善于从文中同样结构或类似结构中寻找线索,从中得到提示和启发,帮助确定应填词的词性和词形,这样可避免想当然地随意乱填。 3. 填词时应注意词形,不可简单地都填原形词。若空格内填的是名词,要考虑其单复数形式;若填的是形容词或副词,则要考虑其是否属于比较等级;如若填的是动词,则要特别注意考虑其时态和语态。如在句首,还要考虑其首字母的大写。 4. 有些空格需要填入介词、连词等,除考虑上下文的内容外,还要考虑和其他词的固定搭配及其习惯用法。 5. 选词填空题和限词填空题一般只有一个答案,自由填空题虽然可能允许有多个正确答案,但只能选择其中一个填入,因为完形填空题每个空格只准填写一个单词,多填反而出错。 【答题要诀】 结构形态和语意,英语答题三利器;结构入手觅逻辑,形态暗示更容易,最后一点别忘记,语意通顺才可以。

中考英语阅读和写作六大重要题型全突破---题型四 语篇填空

题型四语篇填空 语篇填空试题所涉及的知识面广,灵活性高,综合性也很强。它主要考查学生对知识应用的熟练程度、对语言的迁移能力和对语言信息的综合处理能力,能反映出学生的英语综合素质。它不仅考查学生在词汇、语法等方面的基础知识,还考查学生的理解、推导、分析等综合能力。【解题方法】 1. 跳过空格,通读短文,了解大意。解题时先跳过空格,通读完整篇短文,了解全篇的内容和主旨,先易后难。例如: In search of some 67 for his task, Jimmy interviewed his grandmother who of course 68 nothing about the reason why Jimmy asked such questions. 【解析】对于67小题,考生起先不知道吉米想搜寻什么,但是,跳过空格接着往后看,出现了such questions,故可知此空格内需要填写answers。 2. 读短文,确定语义。把握短文大意后再认真复读短文,利用上下文的语境,结合学过的知识,先确定空格处所需词语的意义,再根据空格在句子中的位置,判断其在句中充当的成分,从而确定所填词的词性,再依据词语搭配和语法规则,判断所填词的正确形式。例如:They immediately(立即) became 75 and started to play at each other's houses or the weekend. 【解析】此空格需要填的词语既可为形容词,也可为名词,但是根据后文提示play at each other' s houses可判断她们两人成了好朋友。故填friends。 3. 利用语境,确定词形。当确定了一个单词的词性后,可通过上下文来判断其形式。如动词的人称、数、时态、语态、不定式、动词的-ing形式;名词的数和所有格;代词的各种形式及单复数;形容词副词的比较级以及基数词、序数词的转换形式等。例如:...and the new girl was 70 to say three things about herself. 【解析】通过上下文语境可以判断,此句为被动语态,即“被要求”,故可以选择动词
