Christmas

Memories of Christmas圣诞节对于圣诞的记忆

For me, Christmas always began in the middle of the cold, windy month

of November. 对于我，圣诞总是开始于是凉风中的十一月中期。 My sister, Alison, and I sat down in front of the fire and wrote a letter to Father

Christmas telling him about all the presents we wanted. 我的妹妹Alison 和我一起坐在炉火前，写下我们想要的礼物来告诉圣诞老人。We s eriously wrote “Father Chri stmas, the North Pole” on the envelope, before giving them

to our mother to post.我们很认真地写下“致北极的圣诞老人”，然后会给妈妈寄出去。

With December our excitement grew each day - as we opened the new year calendar, Christmas cards arrived in the post, Christmas lights appeared

in the streets, and we attended the town carol service. 随着十二月我们

的兴奋感一天一天地增长——我们会开启新一年的日历，寄出圣诞卡，看着圣诞

灯出现在街道上，参加城镇的圣歌服务。And of course, there was snow everywhere. Enough snow to make snowmen, and to have exciting snowball

fights in the school playground.当然，到处的是雪的缘故，我们有足够的原

料来做雪人，可以在学校运动场上打刺激的雪战。

On Christmas Eve, the whole family helped to decorate the house, put up

the Christmas tree, the decorations and the balloons. 在平安夜，全家人

都一起帮忙装饰房子，准备圣诞树、装饰品和气球。Then, in the afternoon, when Auntie Kathleen and my two cousins arrived, everything was ready. 到了下午Auntie Kathleen和我的两个堂兄弟来的时候一切就都准备好了。Before we went to bed, we left some wine and biscuits for Father Christmas and then

put our stockings at the end of our beds. 在睡觉之前，我们留了点酒和饼

干给圣诞老人，接着将长袜挂在床尾。 We tried to stay awake as long as possible to see Father Christmas but the next thing we knew it was morning. Christmas morning! 我们尽可能地尝试在圣诞老人来之前保持清醒，但等我们再

有意识时就已经是早上了。圣诞节的早上！

At the bottom of the bed was the stocking, now full of all kinds of small presents and sweets. 现在在床尾挂着的是装满各种礼物和糖果的长袜。Christmas morning was bright and sunny and , after church, my cousin David

and I went out into the garden to play with our new presents. 圣诞的一早明媚而晴朗，到教堂以后我和堂兄David一起跑出花园玩新收到的礼物。 Lunch was always late, but what a lunch! A big turkey with all the vegetables

followed by Christmas pudding. I like turkey breast the best. 午饭总是晚到的，但这是多厉害的午饭啊！一个被填满蔬菜的大火鸡，之后还有圣诞布丁！

我最喜欢火鸡胸肉了。 I put so much food in my mouth sometimes that it was

hard to swallow. We sang Christmas carols happily, laughed at jokes, put

on silly paper hats and laughed again.有时我同时塞太多东西在嘴里而无法

咽下。我们很高兴地唱着圣诞颂歌，戴着傻气的纸帽子欢声笑语。

After lunch, the adults slept on the sofas in front of the Queen’s speech on television while we all played cards. 午饭之后，大人看着电视里放着的

王后的演讲在沙发上睡着了，而我们全部人都在玩卡片游戏。 Then we had tea, with a huge Christmas cake covered with snowmen. It didn’t seem possible, but we carried on eating. By bedtime all of the children were very tired.

之后我们就着有雪人装饰的大的圣诞蛋糕喝了茶。虽然看起来不可能，但我们还

在继续吃。As soon as we turned off the light, we all fell into a deep, happy sleep.到睡觉时间时我们都已经很累了。我们熄灯的一瞬间我们就沉沉地睡着了，

必修三 1航行到美洲的北欧海盗 北欧海盗是第一批到达美洲的欧美人。早在哥伦布起航之前，他们就已经到达那里了。 北欧海盗的祖先来自于斯堪地那维亚半岛。公元8世纪到10世纪期间，他们控制着北欧海绵和沿海地区。大约到公元900年，北欧很多地方都有海盗居住。公元982年，冰岛生活着多达一万人的北欧海盗，就在此时，一个叫红发埃里克的人决定走向西远航。 根据冰岛和挪威的传说，红发艾里克银犯谋杀案而惹上麻烦，并被迫离开冰岛。埃里克到达达格陵兰岛后，发现他登陆的地方可以居住，返回冰岛，告诉人么哪有管格陵兰岛的事情，病说服一些人与他一起回到格陵兰岛，埃里克再次起航时，有25艘船与他同行，但其中只有14艘最终到达格陵兰岛。 红发埃里克登上格陵兰岛不久，一个叫比阿尼的人也从冰岛起航来寻找埃里克一行人。比阿尼希望找到和埃里克在一起的父亲，但大风使他偏离航线，刮到一个不知名的地方，从哪里他最终抵达格陵兰岛。 1002年红发埃里克的儿子利夫打算继续向西航行，他和比阿尼一同商量他们的在行计划。利夫依照比阿尼的指点。据说航信到了现在的加拿大海岸，他又继续南行至现在叫纽芬兰的岛屿。 我们从挪威和冰岛记载下来并流传几个世纪的传说中得知红发埃里克和利夫的事迹。他们是记载中最早航行到达美洲的欧洲人。 3水下世界-------观赏海洋生物的最佳地点 这里有北极熊，还有一座真正的冰川！你只能看见冰山水上的一小部分，而水下部分是水上部分的三倍。你可以再给海豹喂食时观看海豹，看看那些不爱运动却非常友好的动作敏捷的企鹅。你一定会爱上他们的！ 海底 看看世界上最美的珊瑚和最奇异的鱼类，看鱼飞翔着，闯过水面，与其他鱼类相比，他们不算绚丽多姿，但游姿却很美。 海洋剧院 看着聪明的海豚，精彩的表演每两小时一场。 探索他 这里是专为小孩子设计的，在这里，孩子们可以亲手接触摸螃蟹和其他小动物，还可以在这个令人兴奋的环境里学习到关于海滩上日常生活的知识。 虚拟航海 这是我们水管最新，最具有吸引力的活动，来和我们一起进行模拟航行吧！到海底走一走，看一看世界上最奇异的鱼。 最吵的鱼：有些鱼发出的声音几乎是你讲话声音的两倍，你绝对不会找到比他们更吵闹的鱼。 最漂亮的鱼：有的鱼用身体发光一心其他鱼靠近人后吃掉他们，这些的嘴巨大无比，可以吃掉和自己体积一样大的鱼。要当心哦！ 最小的鱼:仔细找找这种世界上最小的鱼，他们还不及你家的苍蝇大。 和海豚一起游泳！直接面对海洋中最具有杀伤力的动物——大白鲨 快来参观吧，还有好多动物呢！22日前特价，尽快定票吧！每天早上10点开门。晚上7点关门 4海洋故事 B三年前，我遇到了一间可怕的事。6个小时的恐惧情形让我身心俱毁。你现在回认

Unit 16 Stories Warm-up Tapescript 1 It was a dark and foggy night. We drove and drove. At midnight, just as we thought we were lost, we saw a light behind some trees. As we got nearer, we could see a house. It looked abandoned. We knocked on the heavy door. It opened slowly. A tall man dressed entirely in black stood there. ―Good evening,‖ he said in a slow, deep voice. ―I've been expecting you.‖ 2 We were travelling through deep space at the speed of light. Suddenly, the spaceship slowed down and immediately the system came into view – a bright star with twenty or more planets. One of these would be our new home, five light years from our own planet. 3 One of my earliest memories is of my father running along the beach with our dog, Tess. I must have been about three years old. I remember the dog jumping up on me and knocking me over into the water. 4 The man lay on the ground next to a white truck. There was no doubt. He was dead. I quickly looked in the pockets of his jacket – some money, a handkerchief and a theatre ticket with a Chicago phone number

第一单元友谊 Reading 安妮最好的朋友 你是不是想有一位无话不谈能推心置腹的朋友呢？或者你是不是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，于是她就把日记当成了她最好的朋友。 安妮在第二次世界大战期间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，否则他们就会被德国纳粹抓去。她和她的家人躲藏了两年之后才被发现。在这段时间里，她唯一的忠实朋友就是她的日记了。她说，“我不愿像大多数人那样在日记中记流水账。我要把这本日记当作我的朋友，我要把我这个朋友称作基蒂”。安妮自从1942年7月起就躲藏在那儿了，现在，来看看她的心情吧。 亲爱的基蒂： 我不知道这是不是因为我长久无法出门的缘故，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，这一切都变了。 ……比方说，有天晚上天气很暖和，我熬到11点半故意不睡觉，为的是独自好好看看月亮。但是因为月光太亮了，我不敢打开窗户。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。我一直等到非关窗不可的时候才下楼去。漆黑的夜晚，风吹雨打，雷电交加，我全然被这种力量镇住了。这是我一年半以来第一次目睹夜晚…… ……令人伤心的是……我只能透过脏兮兮的窗帘观看大自然，窗帘悬挂在沾满灰尘的窗前，但观看这些已经不再是乐趣，因为大自然是你必须亲身体验的。

Using Language Reading, listening and writing 亲爱的王小姐： 我同班上的同学有件麻烦事。我跟我们班里的一位男同学一直相处很好，我们常常一起做家庭作业，而且很乐意相互帮助。我们成了非常好的朋友。可是，其他同学却开始在背后议论起来，他们说我和这位男同学在谈恋爱，这使我很生气。我不想中断这段友谊，但是我又讨厌人家背后说闲话。我该怎么办呢？Reading and writing 尊敬的编辑： 我是苏州高中的一名学生。我有一个难题，我不太善于同人们交际。虽然我的确试着去跟班上的同学交谈，但是我还是发现很难跟他们成为好朋友。因此，有时候我感到十分孤独。我确实想改变这种现状，但是我却不知道该怎么办。如果您能给我提些建议，我会非常感激的。 第二单元世界上的英语 Reading 通向现代英语之路 16世纪末期大约有5百万到7百万人说英语，几乎所有这些人都生活在英国。后来，在17世纪英国人开始航海征服了世界其它地区。于是，许多别的国家开始说英语了。如今说英语的人比以往任何时候都多，他们有的是作为第一语言来说，有的是作为第二语言或外语。 以英语作为母语的人，即使他们所讲的语言不尽相同，也可以互相交流。请看以下例子： 英国人贝蒂：“请到我的公寓（flat）里来看看，好吗？” 美国人艾米：“好的。我很乐意到你的公寓（apartment）去。” 那么，英语在一段时间里为什么会起变化呢？事实上，当不同文化互相交流渗透时，所有的语言都会有所发展，有所变化。首先，在公元450年到1150年间，人们所说的英语跟今天所说的英语就很不一样。当时的英语更多地是以德语

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 thought about helping ordinary people exposed to cholera. This was the deadly disease of its day. Neither its cause nor its cure was understood. So many thousands of terrified people died every time there was an outbreak. John Snow wanted to face the challenge and solve this problem. He knew that cholera would never be controlled until its cause was found. 约翰·斯洛是伦敦一位著名的医生——他的确医术精湛，因而成为照料维多利亚女王的私人医生。但他一想到要帮助那些得了霍乱的普通百姓时，他就感到很振奋。霍乱在当时是最致命的疾病，人们既不知

道它的病源，也不了解它的治疗方法。每次霍乱暴发时，就有大批惊恐的老百姓死去。约翰·斯洛想面对这个挑战，解决这个问题。他知道，在找到病源之前，霍乱疫情是无法控制的。 He became interested in two theories that possibly explained how cholera killed 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 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.

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 changed 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.

模块3 U7 L1 1 The Spirit of Explorers Viking Voyages to America The Vikings were the first Europeans to reach America. They achieved this long before Columbus ever set sail. The Vikings were a group of people whose ancestors came from Scandinavia. They controlled the seas and coasts of Northern Europe between the 8th and 10th centuries AD. By around 900 AD, there were many places in Northern Europe where the Vikings chose to live. In 982 AD, when a man called Eric the Red decided to set sail further west, there were as many as 10,000 Vikings living in Iceland. According to the old stories of Iceland and Norway, Eric the Red was forced to leave Iceland because he had committed a murder, for which he got into trouble. Eric reached Greenland and discovered that people could live in the place where he landed. He returned to Iceland and told people there about Greenland. He persuaded some people to go back with him to Greenland. Eric set sail once again, this time with 25 ships, of which only 14 made it to Greenland. Not long after Eric the Red had landed in Greenland, a man called Biarni set sail from Iceland in search of Eric's party. Biarni was hoping to join his father who was with Eric, but he was blown off course and found himself in an unknown land, from where he eventually reached Greenland. In the year 1002, when Eric the Red's son Leif was planning a trip further west, Biarni was the man with whom Leif discussed his plans. Leif followed Biarni's directions and sailed to what is believed to be the coast of present-day Canada. He then sailed further south to an island which is now known as Newfoundland. We know about Eric the Red and Leif's deeds through stories which were written down centuries later in Norway and Iceland. They are the first records we have of Europeans sailing to the Americas.
