Lesson 4 Seeing hands 能看见东西的手

In the Soviet Union several cases have been reported recently of people who can read and detect colors with their fingers, and even see through solid doors and walls. One case concerns an 'eleven-year-old schoolgirl, V era Petrova, who has normal vision but who can also perceive things with different parts of her skin, and through solid walls. This ability was first noticed by her father. One day she came into his office and happened to put her hands on the door of a locked safe. Suddenly she asked her father why he kept so many old newspapers locked away there, and even described the way they were done up in bundles. V era's curious talent was brought to the notice of a scientific research institute in the town of UIyanovsk, near where she lives, and in April she was given a series of tests by a special commission of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federal Republic. During these tests she was able to read a newspaper through an opaque screen and, stranger still,by moving her elbow over a child's game of Lotto she was able to describe the figures and colors printed on it; and, in another instance, wearing stockings and slippers, to make out with her foot the outlines and colors of a picture hidden under a carpet. Other experiments showed that her knees and shoulders had a similar sensitivity. During all these tests V era was blindfold; and, indeed, except when blindfold she lacked the ability to perceive things with her skin. It was also found that although she could perceive things with her fingers this ability ceased the moment her hands were wet.

Lesson1 We can read of things that happened 5,000 years ago in the Near East, where people first learned to write. But there are some parts of the world where even now people cannot write. The only way that they can preserve their history is to recount it as sagas--legends handed down from one generation of story-tellers to another. These legends are useful because they can tell us something about migrations of people who lived long ago, but none could write down what they did. Anthropologists wondered where the remote ancestors of the Polynesian peoples now living in the Pacific Islands came from. The sagas of these people explain that some of them came from Indonesia about 2,000 years ago. But the first people who were like ourselves lived so long ago that even their sagas, if they had any, are forgotten. So archaeologists have neither history nor legends to help them to find out where the first 'modern men' came from.

Because they destroy somany insects, and insects include some of the greatest enemies of the humanrace. Insects would make it impossible for us to live in the world; they woulddevour all our crops and kill our flocks and herds, if it were not for the protectionwe get from insect-eating animals. We owe a lot to the birds and beasts wh o eat insects but all of them put together kill only a fraction of the number destroyed by spiders. Moreover, unlike some of the other insect eaters, spiders never dothe least harm to us or our bel ongings.Spiders are not insects, as many people think, nor even nearly related to them.One can t ell the difference almost at a glance for a spider always has eight legsand an insect never more th an six.How many spiders are engaged in this work on our behalf ? One authority on spiders made a census of the spiders in a grass field in the south of England, andhe estimated that there were more than 2,250,000 in one acre, that is something like 6,000,000 spiders of different kinds on a f ootball pitch. Spiders are busy for at least half the year in killing insects. It is impossible to make more than the wildest guess at how many they kill, but they are hungry creatures, not content wi th only three meals a day. It has been estimated that the weight of all the insects destroyed by spi ders in Britain in one year would be greater than the total weight of all the human beings in the c ountry.T. H.

新概念英语第四册课文详解(L1-25)

Lesson 1 Finding fossil man 第一课发现化石人 by ROBIN PLACE from Finding fossil man 1-1. We can read of things that happened 5,000 years ago in the Near East, where people first learned to write. 【译文】我们能读到五千年前近东发生之事，那里的人最先学会了书写。 【单词和短语】 read：此处为不及物动词，意为“读到，获悉”（to find out information from books，newspapers etc.），后接of或about，例如： He reads about the war. 他读到关于战争的消息。 Did you read of their accident in the newspapers? 你在报上看到他们遭遇意外事故的消息了么？ 5,000 years：五千年。另学习millennium，意为“一千年”，复数为millennia。5,000 years即为5 millennia。 the Near East：近东，指地中部沿岸地区，包括亚洲西南部和非洲东北部，有时还包括巴尔干半岛。 1-2. But there are some parts of the world where even now people cannot write. 【译文】但时至今日世上某些地方的人还不会书写。 【单词和短语】 even now：此处意为“甚至到现在”，例如： Even now he won’t believe me. 他甚至到现在还不相信我。 even now另有两解，一为“就在此刻”，例如：

新概念英语第一册重要句型及语法Lesson129~134(最新)

新概念英语第一册重要句型及语法Lesson129~130 一、重要句型及语法 情态动词： 本课仍然是有关情态动词表猜测的用法，侧重点的是must和can't对过去发生的动作或状态的猜测，其结构基本为：must/can't have been/done/been doing。如： You must have been driving at seventy miles an hour. I can't have been. I must have been dreaming. 二、课文主要语言点 Look, Gary! That policeman's waving to you. He wants you to stop. 1)当look被用作提示语时，其后的句子的谓语动词经常要采用现在进行时。 2)wave to sb. 向某人招生示意。 3)want如果后接动词有两种用法，即sb. want to do sth.和sb. want sb. else to do sth. 前者表示某人自己想做什么，而后者表示某人想要其他人做什么。注意对比：He wants to stop. vs. He wants you to stop. Where do you think you are? On a race track? You must have been driving at seventy miles an hour. 1)“Where do you think you are?”中的do you think后面接的是where引导的疑问句。注意本句其实是个反诘句，不需要回答的，注意朗读时语气要把警察强烈的责备语气读出来。2)“On a race track?”是个省略疑问句，其完整形式为：“Do you think you are on a race track?” 3)an hour中的an不是表示数量，而是表单位，意思为“每...” 4)注意“drive at+速度”的用法，速度前要用介词at。 5)注意本句话中的must have been doing 其实是使用了完成进行时，这要到第二册才会正式学习，在此不宜作拓展解释。建议只给学生提供中文意思解释。 I can't have been. 这是一句简略回答，其完整形式为：I can't have been driving at seventy miles an hour。 I was doing eighty when I overtook you. 1)可提问学生为什么本句话中的谓语动词都采用了过去的时态(因为警察描述的是当时Gary超速驾驶时，警察追赶他时的情景)。2)“do+速度(数字即可)”，相当于“drive at+速度”。3)overtake，从后面超越，超车。 4)可复习一下在过去时间的背景下when和while的用法。

新概念英语第四册第二十单元课文原文 Lesson 20 Snake poison 蛇毒How it came about that snakes manufactured poison is a mystery. Over the periods their saliva, a mild, digestive juice like our own, was converted into a poison that defies analysis even today. It was not forced upon them by the survival competition; they could have caught and lived on prey without using poison just as the thousands of non-poisonous snakes still do. Poison to a snake is merely a luxury; it enables it to get its food with very little effort, no more effort than one bite. And why only snakes ? Cats, for instance, would be greatly helped; no running rights with large, fierce rats or tussles with grown rabbits just a bite and no more effort needed. In fact it would be an assistance to all the carnivorae--though it would be a two-edged weapon -When they fought each other. But, of the vertebrates, unpredictable Nature selected only snakes (and one lizard). One wonders also why Nature, with some snakes concocted poison of such extreme potency. In the conversion of saliva into poison one might suppose that a fixed process took place. It did not; some

1. The following day, however, the doctor consoled him by telling him that his chances of being able to leave hospital in time for New Year Celebrations were good. ( L29 ) 句型解剖：sb?s chances of doing sth are good 某人做某事的可能性很大 该例句的后半部分，即“that”引导的宾语从句部分，意思就是：他能离开医院回去过新年的可能性很大。其中“chances”一词解释为“可能性；很有可能发生的事情”，一般作复数。而句末的“good”是修饰“chances”一词，在这里作表语，引申为“（可能性）很大”；如果是“可能性不大”可以把“good” 改成“remote”或者是“slim”。整个短语还能变形为：The chances that ……ar e good. 或者The chances are good that…… （其中that引导的是“chances”一词的同位语从句）。 另外再补充些有关“chance”作为“可能性”的短语： There is a chance of / that ……. 某事很有可能 There is a remote chance of / that……. 某事不大有可能 Chances are that……某事发生很有可能 The chances are ten to one that 事情十有八九会…… sb have a chance of doing sth 某人很有可能做某事 sb have no chance of doing sth 某人不大有可能做某事 sb?s chances of…… are greatly improved / increased某人做某事的可能性大大地增加了 sb?s chances of…… are greatly reduced某人做某事的可能性大大地减小了 另外，英语中的“odds”一词也能用来表示“可能性”代替“chances”一词。具体例句参考下文最后两句例句。 联想运用：1) 看现在这种情形，他很有可能被吵鱿鱼。 Considering the current situation, his chances of being fired are good. 2) 根据我的经验，这种植物很少能有捱过冬天的。 According to my experience, the chances of the plant of surviving the winter are remote. 3) 比尔已经向哈佛大学申请助教职位，但他得到它的可能性很小。

新概念英语第四册课文翻译及学习笔记：Lesson46.doc

新概念英语第四册课文翻译及学习笔记：Lesson46 【课文】 Punctuality is a necessary habit in all public affairs in civilized society. Without it, nothing could ever be brought to a conclusion; everything would be in state of chaos. Only in a sparsely-populated rural community is it possible to disregard it. In ordinary living, there can be some tolerance of unpunctuality. The intellectual, who is working on some abstruse problem, has everything coordinated and organized for the matter in hand. He is therefore forgiven if late for a dinner party. But people are often reproached for unpunctuality when their only fault is cutting things fine. It is hard for energetic, quick-minded people to waste time, so they are often tempted to finish a job before setting out to keep an appointment. If no accidents occur on the way, like punctured tires, diversions of traffic, sudden descent of fog, they will be on time. They are often more industrious, useful citizens than those who are never late. The over- punctual can be as much a trial to others as the unpunctual. The guest who arrives half an hour too soon is the greatest nuisance. Some friends of my family had this irritating habit. The only thing to do was ask them to come half an hour later than the other guests. Then they arrived just when we wanted them. If you are citing a train, it is always better to be comfortably early than even a fraction of a minted too late.
