2019人教版高中英语必修3电子课本 word版

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 feelings 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 was 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 time the only true friend was her diary. She said, “I don’t want to set down a series 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 place 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’ve grown so crazy about everything to do with nature. I can well remember that there was a time when a deep blue sky, the song of the birds, moonlight and flowers could never have kept me spellbound. That’s ch anged since I was here. …For example, when it was so warm, I stayed awake on purpose until half past eleven one evening in order to have a good look at the moon for once by myself. But as the moon gave far too much light, I didn’t dare open a window. Another 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 the 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 nature 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 Using Language 语言运用

高1英语必修3课文翻译 Module1 欧洲的大城市 巴黎 巴黎是法国的首都,也是法国最大的城市,坐落在塞纳河畔。它是世界上最美丽的城市之一,每年有八百多万游客前来参观。最受游客欢迎的旅游景点是埃菲尔铁塔,它是巴黎著名的象征。世界上最大的艺术博物馆之一——卢浮宫——也位于巴黎。这个城市也以餐馆、咖啡馆和剧院而闻名。法国约三分之二的艺术家和作家住在巴黎。 巴塞罗那 巴塞罗那是西班牙第二大城市,位于(西班牙的)东北海岸线上,距离首都马德里东部五百公里处。巴塞罗那最有名的标志性建筑之一是圣家大教堂,由建筑家安东尼奥·高迪设计。高迪从1882年起从事这项工程直至1926年逝世。至今教堂还没完工。 佛罗伦萨 佛罗伦萨是一座因文艺复兴而闻名的意大利城市,这场艺术运动始于14世纪并且延续了300年。在文艺复兴时期,历史上一些最伟大的画家在佛罗伦萨生活和工作。佛罗伦萨许多最美的画作和雕像都出自于莱奥纳多·达·芬奇和米开朗琪罗这样的艺术大师。佛罗伦萨每年大约有一百万旅游者来访,他们都是来参观艺术馆,教堂和博物馆的。其中乌飞齐美术馆最为著名。 雅典 希腊是希腊的首都,作为西方文明的发祥地而闻名于世。2400年前,它是世界上最强大的城市。一些诸如雅典卫城山上的巴特农神庙那样的建筑都是在这段时期建造的。希腊最为著名的作家就居住在古雅典。他们的作品影响了后世的作家。 欧盟 什么是欧盟呢? 欧盟是欧洲国家的一个组织。各个国家都是独立的而且管理方式也不同。例如,在联合王国(英国),国家的首脑是国王或女王。另一方面,在法国,国家的首脑却是总统。但是每个国家都向欧洲议会驻派代表,来控制在每个成员国所发生的事情。 欧盟是怎样创建的呢? 创建欧盟的想法是在20世纪50年代开始的。最初的成员国为法国、德国、比利时、卢森堡、荷兰和意大利。在20世纪的下半叶,成员国逐渐增加。到2000年为止,已经有15个成员国。这些新的国家是奥地利、丹麦、芬兰、希腊、爱尔兰、葡萄牙、西班牙、瑞典和联合王国。 现在有多少国家属于欧盟呢? 在2004年,欧盟的成员国增加到了25个。捷克共和国、爱沙尼亚、匈牙利、拉脱维亚、立陶宛、波兰、斯洛伐克共和国和斯洛文尼亚,还有地中海的岛国塞浦路斯和马耳他都成为成员国。扩大的欧盟人口达到5亿多,是美国人口的2倍。Module2 人类发展报告 在2000年,来自世界各国的147位领导人一致同意共同努力到2015年或在更早的时间减少贫困。由此产生了人类发展报告。 这份报告一个最重要的部分是人类发展指标。它审阅了175个国家的发展成就。指标从三个方面衡量一个国家的成就:寿命、教育和收入。这项指标显示了一些令人意外的情况。挪威高居榜首,而美国则排在第七。位于前五位的其他国家是:冰岛(2),瑞典(3)澳大利亚(4)荷兰(5)。英国位居第十三位,而中国处于中等地位。处于末端的十个国家均是非洲国家,塞拉利昂(西非)排在最后。 报告描述了八个发展目标。其中最重要的是: 减少贫穷和饥饿; 确保所有儿童11岁之前都能接受教育; 对抗艾滋病和其他疾病; 改善穷苦人民的环境,例如,确保他们有安全饮用水; 鼓励发达国家给予其他国家更多的帮助。 2003年人类发展报告列举了一些成功发展的例子。譬如,在九年(1953-1962)的时间里,中国的人均寿命增加了13岁。过去的十年之内,中国有1.5亿人脱贫。然而,挑战仍很严峻。在发展中国家,每天有7.99亿人在挨饿。其中一半以上的人来自南亚或非洲。虽然发展中国家80%以上的儿童能上小学,但仍有1.15亿的孩子得不到教育。发展中国家里十多亿的人喝不上安全的饮用水。当然在世界的其它地方,例如东欧,现在的饮用水大多是安全的。 报告显示我们正在进步,但是我们必须做出更大的努力。虽然发达国家提供了一些经济援助,但是提供援助的数量应该大大增加。有趣的是,捐钱最多的国家是荷兰、挪威和瑞典。它们都属于世界上五个最富的国家,所以他们这样做是合情合理的。 友好城市 英国的牛津和法国的格勒诺布尔在哪些地方相似呢?嗯,它们都是人口在十万到二十万之间的中等大小城市。它们都有一些大学和工业。旅游业对它们来说都很重要,在地区上它们都靠近一些美丽的乡村。但是它们还共享一些别的东西:它们之间有一个缔结友好城市的协议。 缔结友好城市新的想法,然而它在近年来变得更受欢迎的原因是现在人们可以更容易地找到有关其他国家和城镇的信息并去参观这些国家和城镇。这个协议是在两个城镇之间有相似的特征,例如旅游业、工业、文化和娱乐等方面。 友好城市协议鼓励两个城镇的人们互相进行交流访问。学校之间、戏剧团体之间还有运动团体之间都可以进行参观和交流。来自于外国城镇的访问者通常住在他们所访问的城镇居民家里。人们通常会为访问者举行一个大型的聚会。 友好城市协议可能对于那些想练习讲另一种语言的学生和人们来说是最有用的。这是因为和一个外国家庭在一起生活一两周就意味着你必须讲他们的语言,这样你的水平就会提高很快。
