Module 1

My Name is Li Kang. I live in Shijiazhuang, a city not far from Beijing. It is the capital city of Hebei Province. Today is my first day at Senior High school and I'm writing down my thoughts about it. My new school is very good and I can see why. The teachers are very enthusiastic and friendly and the classrooms are amazing. Every room has a computer with a special screen, almost as big as a cinema screen. The teachers write on the computer, and their words appear on the screen behind them. The screens also show photographs, text and information from websites. They're brilliant! The English class is really interesting. The teacher is a very enthusiastic woman called Ms Shen. We're using a new textbook and Ms Shen's method of teaching is nothing like that of the teachers at my Junior High school. She thinks that reading comprehension is important, but we speak a lot in class, too. And we have fun. I don't think I will be bored in Ms Shen's class! Today we introduced ourselves to each other. We did this in groups. Some students were embarrassed at first but everyone was very friendly and it was really nice. Ms Shen gave us instructions and then we worked by ourselves. Ms Shen wants to help us improve our spelling and handwriting. We do this in a fun way, with spelling games and other activities. I like her attitude very much, and the behaviour of the other students shows that they like her, too. There are sixty-five students in my class—more than my previous class in Junior High. Forty-nine of them are girls. In other words, there are three times as many girls

as boys. They say that girls are usually more hard-working than boys, but in this class, everyone is hard-working. For our homework tonight, we have to write

a description of the street where we live. I'm looking forward to doing it!

Module 2

They say that first impressions are very important. My first impression of Mrs. Li was that she was nervous and shy. I think perhaps she was, as it was her first lesson with us. But now, after two weeks, the class really likes working with her. She's kind and patient, and she explains English grammar so clearly that even I can understand it!—She avoids making you feel stupid! I've always hated making mistakes or pronouncing a word incorrectly when I speak English, but Mrs. Li just smiles, so that you don't feel completely stupid! I think maybe she goes a bit too slowly for the faster students, but for me it's wonderful! I feel I'm going to make progress with her.

I'd guess that Mrs. Chen is almost sixty. She's very strict—we don't dare to say a word unless she asks us to. She's also very serious and doesn't smile much. When she asks you to do something, you do it immediately! There are a few students in our class who keep coming to class late but they're always on time for Mrs. Chen's lessons! Some of our class don't like her, but most of us really appreciate her because her teaching is so well organised and clear. And a few students even admit liking her! During scientific experiments, she explains exactly what is happening and as a result my work is improving. Physics will never be my favourite lesson,

but I think that I'll do well in the exam with Mrs. Chen teaching me.

Mr. Wu's only been teaching us for two weeks and he's already very popular. I think this is because he really enjoys teaching Chinese literature—he loves it, in fact! He's got so much energy; this is one class you do not fall asleep in! He's about 28, I think, and is rather good-looking. He talks loudly and fast, and waves his hands about a lot when he gets excited. He's really amusing and tells jokes when he thinks we're getting bored. Even things like compositions and summaries are fun with Mr. Wu. I respect him a lot.

Module 3

My name is Alice Thompson. I come from Sydney, Australia and I'm 18 years old. Recently I had my first ride on a long-distance train. And what a ride! A friend and I travelled on the famous Ghan train. We got on in Sydney and we got off in Alice Springs, right in the middle of Australia, more than four thousand kilometres away. We spent two days and nights on the train.

The train was wonderful and the food was great. We ate great meals cooked by experts! For the first few hundred kilometres of the journey, the scenery was very colourful. There were fields and the soil was dark red. After that, it was desert. The sun shone, there was no wind and there were no clouds in the sky. Suddenly, it looked like a place from another time. We saw abandoned farms which were built more than a hundred years ago.

The train was comfortable and the people were nice.

During the day, I sat and looked out of the window, and sometimes talked to other passengers. I read books and listened to my Chinese cassettes (I'm studying Chinese at school). One night, at about midnight, I watched the night sky for about an hour. The stars shone like diamonds. Why is the train called the Ghan? A long time ago, Australians needed a way to travel to the middle of the country. They tried riding horses, but the horses didn't like the hot weather and sand. A hundred and fifty years ago, they brought some camels from Afghanistan.

Ghan is short for Afghanistan.

Camels were much better than horses for travelling a long distance. For many years, trained camels

carried food and other supplies, and returned with

wool and other products.

The Afghans and their camels did this until the 1920s. Then the government built a new railway line, so they didn't need the camels any more. In 1925, they passed a law which allowed people to shoot the animals if they were a problem. In 1935, the police in a town shot 153 camels in one day.

Module 4

XIAO LI: It's great to see you again, John.

JOHN MARTIN: It's great to see you! It's been six years since we last saw each other, you know. And this is the first time I've visited your hometown.

XIAO LI: Yes, I'm so glad you could come.

JOHN MARTIN: You know, I've seen quite a lot of China and I've visited some beautiful cities, but this is one of the most attractive places I've been to. It's so lively, and everyone seems so friendly.

XIAO LI: Yes, it's one of the most interesting cities on

the coast, everyone says so. I feel very fortunate living here. And I love living by the seaside.

JOHN MARTIN: You live in the northwest of Xiamen,

is that right?

XIAO LI: Yes, that's right.

JOHN MARTIN: What's the climate like?

XIAO LI: Pretty hot and wet in the summer, but it can be quite cold in the winter.

JOHN MARTIN: Sounds OK to me. There are a lot

of tourists around. Don't they bother you?

XIAO LI: Yes, they can be a nuisance in the

summer because there are so many of them.

JOHN MARTIN: Oh, look at that huge apartment block!

XIAO LI: Yes, they've just completed it. The rent for

an apartment there is very high.

JOHN MARTIN: I believe you! This area's so modern!

XIAO LI: Yes, this is the business district. They've put

up a lot of high-rise buildings recently. And there are some great shopping malls. See, we're just passing

one now. My wife's just bought a beautiful dress from

one of the shops there.

JOHN MARTIN: Maybe I could buy a few presents there.

XIAO LI: I'll take you there tomorrow. Now we're

leaving the business district and approaching the harbour. We're entering the western district, the most interesting part of the city. It's got some really pretty parks ...

JOHN MARTIN: It seems lovely. Is that Gulangyu Island, just across the water?

XIAO LI: Yes, it is. It's a gorgeous island with some

really interesting architecture.

JOHN MARTIN: So they tell me. Do you think we

could stop and walk around for a while?

XIAO LI: Yes, I was just going to do that. We can park over there. A friend's told me about a nice little fish restaurant near here. Shall we go there for lunch?

JOHN MARTIN: That sounds great. I'm starving!

Module 5

The Internet is the biggest source of information in the

world, and it's accessible through a computer. It consists of millions of pages of data.

In 1969, DARPA, a U.S. defence organisation, developed a way for all their computers to "talk" to each other through the telephone. They created a network of computers called DARPANET. For fifteen years, only the U.S. army could use this system of communication. Then in 1984, the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) started the NSFNET network. It then became possible for universities to use the system as well. NSFNET became known as the Inter-Network, or "Internet".

The World Wide Web (the web) is a computer

network that allows computer users to access information from millions of websites via the Internet.

At the moment, about 80 percent of web traffic is in English, but this percentage is going down. By 2020, much web traffic could be in Chinese.

The World Wide Web was invented in 1991 by an English scientist, Tim Berners-Lee. Berners-Lee built

his first computer while he was at university using an

old television! He came up with the idea of the World Wide Web in 1989 while he was working in Switzerland. Berners-Lee made it possible for everyone to use the Internet, not just universities and the army. He designed the first "web browser", which allowed computer users to access documents from other computers. From that moment on, the web and the Internet grew. Within five years, the number of Internet users rose from 600 000 to

40 million.

The Internet has created thousands of millionaires, but Berners-Lee is not one of them. Everyone in the world

can access the Internet using his World Wide Web system. He now works as a lecturer at Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Boston.

Passage A It is hard to think of a world without metals. Different metals have different uses, for example, steel is used in cars, and iron is used in electrical equipment. When we use metals, it is important to know how they react with different substances, for example, water and oxygen. The reaction of metals with these substances can be put in order. Here is a table with the metals that react most at the top, and the metals that react least at the bottom.

Passage B

A Simple Scientific Experiment

Below is a description of a simple scientific experiment.

It shows us how iron reacts with air and with water.

Aim: To find out if iron rusts (a) in dry air; (b) in water

that has no air in it (air-free water); (c) in ordinary water.

Apparatus: 3 clean iron nails; test tubes; test tube holder; cotton wool; oil; Bunsen burner.

Iron in dry air

Method 1. Put some iron nails at the bottom of a test tube.

2.Push some cotton wool down the tube.

3.Leave the tube for one week.

Result

After one week, the nails have not rusted.

Conclusion

Iron does not rust in dry air.

Iron in air-free water

Method

1.Half-fill a test tube with water.

2.Boil the water for three minutes. (This makes sure there is no air in the water.)

3.Put two or three clean nails in the water.

4.Add some oil to the water. This will keep air out of the water.

5.Leave the tube for one week.

Result

The nails do not rust in the tube with air-free water.

Conclusion

Iron does not rust in air-free water.

Iron in ordinary water

Method

1.Half-fill a test tube with water and add two or three clean nails.

2.Leave the tube for one week.

Result

The nails rust in the tube with ordinary water.

Module 1 Reading The City of the Future What will the city of the future look like No one knows for sure, and making predictions is a risky business. But one thing is certain— they are going to get bigger before they get smaller. In the future, care for the environment will become very important as earth's natural resources run out. We will use lots of recycled materials, such as plastic, aluminium, steel, glass, wood and paper, and we will waste fewer natural resources. We will also have to rely more on alternative energy, such as solar and wind power. All this seems certain, but there are plenty of things about city life in the future which are not certain. To find out what young people think about the future of urban life, a teacher at a university in Texas in the United States asked his students to think how they would run a city of 50,000 people in the year 2025. Here are some of the ideas they had: Garbage ships To get rid of garbage problems, the city will load huge spaceships with waste materials and send them towards the sun, preventing landfill and environmental problems. Batman Nets Police will arrest criminals by firing nets instead of guns.

牛津高中英语课文翻译 牛津高中英语模块1课文翻译 Unit 1 School life in the UK 英国校园生活 Going to a British high school for one year was a very enjoyable and exciting experience for me. I was very happy with the school hours in Britain because school starts around 9 a.m. and ends about 3:30 p.m. This means I could get up an hour later than usual, as school in China begin before 8 a.m. 在英国上了一年的中学对我来说是一段非常令人愉快和兴奋的经历。我很满意英国的上学时间，因为那里是大约9点开始上学，下午3：30放学，这意味着我可以比平常晚起床一个小时，因为在中国8点之前就开始上课了。 On the first day, all of the new students attended an assembly in the school hall. I sat next to a girl whose name was Diana. We soon became best friends. During the assembly, the headmaster told us about the rules of the school. He also told us that the best way to earn respect was to devote ourselves to study and achieve high grades. This sounded like my school in China. 在第一天，所有新生在学校礼堂集合，我坐在一个叫做戴安娜的女孩旁边，我们很快就成为了好朋友。在集合期间，校长告诉我们关于学校的规章制度，他还告诉我们，在学校要想赢得别人的尊重，最好的方法就是努力学习，取得高分，这一点听起来跟中国的学校差不多。 I had many teachers in the past year. Mr Heywood, my class teacher, was very helpful. My favourite teacher was Miss Burke – I loved the lessons that she gave in English Literature. In our class there were 28 students. This is about the average size for British schools. We had to move to different classrooms for different classes. We also had different students in some classes, so it was a struggle for me to remember all the faces and names. 在过去的一年里，我有很多的老师，黑伍德先生，也就是我的班主任，对我很有帮助；我最喜欢的老师是伯尔克小姐，我喜欢她教的英国文学课。在我们班有28个同学，这差不多是英国学校的平均班额。我们在不同的教室上不同的课，上某些课的时候，班上的同学也不一样，所以对我来说记住所有人的面孔和名字是一件难事。 I found that the homework was not as heavy as what I used to get in my old school. However, it was a bit challenging for me at first, because all the homework was in English. I felt lucky, as all my teachers gave me much encouragement and I enjoyed all my subjects: English, History, English Literature, Computer Science, Maths, Science, PE, Art, Cooking and French. 我发现这里布置的家庭作业不像我以前在原来学校时那么繁重，可是一开始我还是觉得有点挑战性，因为所有的作业都是英文的。让我感到幸运的是，所有老师都给了我极大的鼓励，也喜欢所学的科目：英语、历史、英国文学，计算机，数学、科学、体育、艺术、烹饪和法语。 My English improved a lot, as I used English every day and spent an hour each day reading English books in the library. I usually went to the Computer Club during the lunch break, so I could send e-mails to my family and friends back home for free. I also had an extra French class on Tuesday evenings. Cooking was really fun as I learnt how to buy, prepare and cook food. At the end of term we held a class party and we all had to cook something. I was glad that all my classmates were fond of the cake that I made. 我的英语提高了很多，因为我每天都使用英语而且我每天花一小时在图书馆看英语书，我经常在中午休息的时候去计算机俱乐部，这样我就可以免费给国内你的家人和朋友发邮件了。我还在每周二的晚上有一节法语课，烹饪课也很有趣，因为我可以学到如何购买、准备和烹饪食物，在学期末，我们有举行班级聚会，我们都需要做一些食物，让我很高兴的是我同学都很喜欢我做的蛋糕。

Module 1未来的城市 未来的城市将会是什么样子呢？没有人确切地了解，预测也是一件很冒险的事。但有一件事是可以肯定的——它们将会先变大，然后再变小。在未来，爱护环境将会很重要，因为地球的资源将濒临枯竭。我们将会使用大量的可回收材料，例如，塑料、银、钢铁、玻璃、木头和纸。我们浪费自然资源的程度将会有所减弱。我们也将不得不更多地依赖其他能源。例如，太阳能和风能。所有的这些似乎是肯定的，但是还有许多关于城市生活的事情仍是未知的。为了获知年轻人对未来城市生活的想法，美国得克萨斯州的一位大学老师让他的学生们思考如何管理一个在2025年拥有5万人口的城市，下面是他们的一些构想： 垃圾船：为了摆脱垃圾问题的困扰，城市将会用巨型宇宙飞船装载废弃材料，朝太阳发射，这样做防止了垃圾填埋和环境问题。 勤务兵网：警察逮捕罪犯时，将会向罪犯射出网状物而不是用枪。 戒烟：在未来城市范围内将禁止吸烟。只有在郊区和户外才允许吸烟。 告别商厦：将来所有的购物将会在网上进行，商品目录将会有语音指令来排序。 电话人生：每个人一出生就会给予一个电话号码，将来无论他们居住在哪儿，这个电话号码都不会更改。 娱乐：所有的娱乐形式，例如，电影院、保龄球、垒球、音乐会和其他等等都将由该市政府免费提供。 汽车：所有的汽车都将由电能、太阳能或风能提供动力，并且只要轻轻按一下开关就能够改变汽车的颜色。 远程手术：随着每个城市拥有自己的远程手术门诊部，医生将能在数千里以外实施手术，远程手术将会变得十分普通。 居家度假：年长的市民和残疾人通过使用绑在头上的髙新技术相机可以周游世界。 太空遨游：普通市民遨游太空将会变得很平常，每个城市都将有自己的太空港。 Module 2 行在北京 出租车 北京大街上的出租车是24小时服务的。只要你招招手，立刻就会有出租车。它们通常都是红色车身，并且在车窗上显示每公里的路价。你要做的，就是确认司机有营运照，并且索要发票。 公交车和电车 公共交通为人们游览北京提供了低价位的出行方式。北京大约有两万多辆公交车和电车，但是，它们有时会很拥挤。最明智的做法是避免在高峰期（上午6:30-8:00，下午5:00-6:30)乘坐公交车和电车。这些车车票价格便宜，一元起价。空调车则要贵一些。公交线1到100路都是仅限于市中心内的，车号更高一些的线路，可以通达郊区。对于游人来说，最不该错过的是103路电车，它途经紫禁城和北海白塔，沿途风景令人印象深刻。如果你乘坐双层公共汽车，请务必坐在上层，这样你会一览这个飞速发展城市的亮丽风景。 小公共汽车 在一些地区，这种12个座位的小型公共汽车给人们在昂贵的出租车和拥挤的公共汽车外，提供了第三种选择。它们跟大公共汽车走同样的路线，提供有规律的服务。在小公共汽车上，即使在高峰期也能找到空位。 地铁 北京有四条地铁线，还有几条线也正在建设之中。地铁方便快捷，但在高峰期，情况会很糟糕。地铁票价单程为三元，站名用拼音标注，运营时间为上午5点到晚上11点。 三轮脚踏车

Students at that school have to study Maths, English and Scienc e, but can stop studying some subjects if they don’t like them, for example, History and French. They can choose other subjects like Art and Computer Science or Languages such as Spanish and German. In the Art class that I took, I made a small sculpture. T hough it didn’t look very beautiful when it was finished, I still liked it very much. I missed Chinese food a lot at lunch. British food is very different. British people like eating dessert at the end of their main meal. After lunch, we usually played on the school field. Sometimes I played football with the boys. Sometimes I just relaxed under a tree or sat on the grass. I was very lucky to experience this different way of life. I look back on my time in the UK with satisfaction, and I really hope to go back and study in Manchester again. 在英国的学校生活 在英国上了一年的中学对我来说是一段非常令人愉快和兴奋的经历。我很喜欢英国中学的 作息时间，因为学校每天上午大约9点上课，下午大约3点半放学。这意味着我每天可以比以往 晚一个小时起床，因为在中国学校每天上午8点之前就开始上课了。 开学第一天，所有的新生都去学校礼堂参加晨会。我当时坐在一个名叫黛安娜的女孩身边： 我们很快就成了最要好的朋友。在晨会上，校长向我们宣布了校规。他还告诉我们，赢得尊重 的最佳途径就是专心学习并取得好成绩。这听起来倒是像我在国内就读的学校。 过去的一年里我有过许多老师。海伍德先生，我的班主任，对我的帮助很大。我最喜欢的 老师是伯克小姐——我喜爱她教的英国文学课程。我们班上一一共有28个学生。英国中学的班级 差不多就是这么大。我们上不同的课得去不同的教室。上某些课的时候，班上的同学也不一样， 所以对我来说记住所有的人的面孔和名字可是一件难事。 我发现这里布置的家庭作业不像我以前在原来学校时那么繁重，可一开始我还是觉得有些

Dad: (sounding very angry) listen to me, young man----we left you in charge? We thought you could act like an adult! I don’t know the reason why the house is so dirty--- Mom: Daniel, we thought you were an adult, a person from whom we could expect good decisions. Dad: How can we trust you any more? We won’t tolerate such behavior in our house! Daniel: ( shouting) Stop shou ting at me. I’m still a teenager! Why is everything always my fault? Daniel runs into his bedroom and slams the door. Mom and Dad look at each other as lights go out. Act two, scene one Daniel and Eric’s bedroom. Eric sits on his bed. Daniel has his arms c rossed and looks upset. Daniel: They never even gave me a chance to explain. I hate them! Eric: You don’t hate them. I can tell them we had an emergency. Then they won’t be mad anymore. Daniel: No, don’t tell them anything. Anyhow they didn’t trust me. They don’t deserve an explanation. Let them think what they want. Eric: But Daniel, if they knew that Spot was sick and we used the money to take him to the clinic--- Daniel: And that we spent all of yesterday waiting there for him and that is why we had no time to clean the house --- but no, Eric, why didn’t they ask me what happened instead of shouting at me?

必修1 Module 1 My First Day at Senior High My name is Li Kang. I live in Shijiazhuang, a city not far from Beijing. It is the capita l city of Hebei Province. Today is my first day at Senior High school andI 'm writing down my thoughts about it. My new school is very good and I can see why. The teachers are very enthusiastic and friendly and the classrooms are amazing. Every room has a computer with a speci al screen, almost as big as a cinema screen. The teachers write on the computer, and th eir words appear on the screen behind them. The screens also show photographs, text and information from websites. They' rberilliant! The English class is really interesting. The teacher is a very enthusiastic woman cal led Ms Shen.We' reusing a new textbook and MsShen'm s ethod of teaching is nothin g like that of the teachers at my Junior High school. She thinks that reading comprehe nsion is important, but we speak a lot in class, too. And we have fun.dIon't t hink I wi ll be bored in Ms Shen'c s lass! Today we introduced ourselves to each other. We did this in groups. Some students were embarrassed at first but everyone was very friendly and it was really nice. Ms S hen gave us instructions and then we worked by ourselves. Ms Shen wants to help us improve our spelling and handwriting. We do this in a fu n way, with spelling games and other activities. I like her attitude very much, and the behavior of the other students shows that they like her, too. There are sixty-five stude nts in my class—more tha n my previous class in Junior H igh. Forty-nine of them are girls. In other words, there are three times as many girls as boys. They say that girls are usually more hard-working than boys, but in this class, e veryone is hard-working. For our homework tonight, we have to write a description of the street where we live.I 'm looking forward to doing it! A Letter from a Senior High Student Dear Li Kang, How's it going? I thought I 'w d rite to tell you about the American school system. Sec ondary school in the US usually covers seven years, grades six to twelve. Ninth to twe lfth grades are high school. At the end of twelfth grade, American students receive the high school diploma. Students need a high school diploma if they want to go to colle ge. The school year is divided into two semesters, the first of which is September thro ugh December, and the second January through May. We have a LONG summer vacat ion! We start school at 7:50 am and we finish at 3 pm. I take part in all kinds of after-school activities —play football, basketball, volley ball, table tennis and I go to theater club. Will you tell me something about your summer vacation and the Chinese school sy stem in your next letter? Best wishes, Rob Marshall Module 2 My New Teachers They say that first impressions are very important. My first impression of Mrs. Li was that she was nervous and shy. I think perhaps she was, as it was her first lesson with u s. But now, after two weeks, the class really likes working with her.She'k s ind and pat ient, and she expla ins En glish grammar so clearly that eve n I can un dersta nd it!She avoids
