Frederick WilliamⅠ，the King of Prussia, could never have imagined that his greatest gift to the Russian people

would have such an amazing history . This gift was the Amber Room , which was given this name because several

tons of amber were used to make it . The amber which was selected had a beautiful yellow-brown colour like honey .

The design of the room was in the fancy style popular in those days . It was also a treasure decorated with gold

and jewels , which took the country's best artists about ten years to make .

In fact , the room was not made to be a gift . It was designed for the palace of FrederickⅠ. However, the next King

of Prussia , Frederick WilliamⅠ ,to whom the amber room belonged, decided not to keep it. In 1716 he gave it to Peter

the Great. In return , the Czar sent him a troop of his best soldiers.So the Amber Room because part of the Czar's winter palace in St Petersburg.About four metres long, the room served as a small reception hall for important visitors .

Later,Catherine Ⅱ had the Amber Room moved to a palace outside St Petersburg where she spent her summers. She

told her artists to add more details to it .In 1770 the room was pleted the way she wanted . Almost six hundred

candles lit the room ,and its mirrors and pictures shone like gold. Sadly , although the Amber Roomwas considered one of the wonders

of the world , it is now missing .

In September 1941, the Nazi army was near St Petersburg . This was a time when the two countries were at war .

Before the Nazis could get to the summer palace , the Russians were able to remove some furniture and small

art objects from the Amber Room . However , some of the Nazis secretly stole the room itself . In less than two

days 100,000 pieces were put inside twenty-seven woooden boxs . There is no doubt that the boxs were then put

on a train for Konigsberg, which was at that time a German city on the Baltic Sea . After that, what happened to

the Amber Room remains a mystery .

Recently , the Russians and Germans have built a new Amber Room at the summer palace . By studying old photos

of the former Amber Room , they have made the new one look like the old one .In 2003 it was ready for the people

of St Petersburg when they celebrated the 300th birthday of their city .

A FACT OR AN OPINION?

What is a fact? Is it something that people believe? No. A fact is anything that can be proved. For example,

it can be proved that China has more people than any other country in the world. This is a fact.

Then what is an opinion? An opinion is what someone believes is true but has not been proved. So an opinion is

not good evidence in a trial. For example, it is an opinion if you say “Cats are better pets than dogs ”. It may be true, but it is

difficult to prove. Some people may not agree with this opinion but they also cannot prove

that they are right.

In a trial, a judge must decide which eyewit

nesses to believe and which not to believe. The judge does not consider what each eyewitness looks like or where

that person lives or works. He/she only cares about whether the eyewitness has given true information, which must be facts rather than opinions. This kind of information is called evidence.

Unit 2

AN INTERVIEW

Pausanias, who was a Greek writer about 2,000 years ago, has e on a magical journey on March 18th 2007 to find out

about the present-day Olympic Games. He is now interviewing Li Yan, a volunteer for the 2008 Olympic Games.

P: My name is Pausanias. I lived in what you call “ Ancient Greece ” and I used to write about the Olympic Games a long time

ago. I ’ ve e to your time to find out about the present-day Olympic Games because I know that in 2004

they were held in my homeland. May I ask you some questions about the modern Olympics?

L:Good heavens! Have you really e from so long ago? But of course you can ask any questions you like. What

would you like to know?

P: How often do you hold your Games?

L: Every four years. There are two main sets of Games-the Winter and Summer Olympics, and both are held every

four years on a regular basis. The Winter Olympics are usually held two years before the SummerGames. Only athletes who have

reached the agreed standard for their event will be admitted as petitors. They may e from anywhere in

the world.

P: Winter Games? How can the runners enjoy peting in winter? And what about the horses?

L: Oh no! There are no running races or horse riding events. Instead there are petitions like skiing and ice skating which need snow and ice. That’s why they’re called the Winter Olympics. It’s in the Summer Olympics that you have the running races, together with swimming, sailing and all the team sports.

P:I see. Earlier you said that athletes are invited from all over the world. Do you mean the Greek world? Our

Greek cities used to pete against each other just for the honour of winning. No other countries could join in,

nor could slaves or women!

L:Nowadays any country can take part if their athletes are good enough. There are over 250 sports and each on

has its own standard. Women are not only allowed, but play a very important role in gymnastics, athletics, team

sports and

P: Please wait a minute! All those events, all those countries and even womentaking part! Where are all the athletes housed?

L: For each Olympics, a special village is built for them to live in, a main reception building,several stadiums for petitions, and a gymnasium as well.

P: That sounds very expensive. Does anyone want to host the Olympic Games?

L: As a matter of fact, every country wants the opportunity.It ’ s a great responsibility but also a great honour to be chosen. There ’ s as much petition among countries to host the Olympics as to win Olympic medals. The 2008

Olympics will be held in Beijing, China. Did you know that?

P: Oh yes! You must be very proud.

L:Certainly. And after that the 2012 Olympics will be held in London. They have already started planning for it.

A new village for the athletes and all the stadiums will be built to the east of London. New medals will be

designed of course and

P: Did you say medals? So even the olive wreath has been replaced! Oh dear! Do you pete for prize money too?

L: No, we don’t. it ’ s still all about being able to run faster,jump higher and throw further.That ’s the motto of the Olympics, you know-“Swifter, Higher and Stronger.”

P:Well, that’s good news. How interesting! Thank you so much for your time.

THE STORY OF ATLANTA

Atlanta was a Greek princess. She was very beautiful and could run faster than any man in Greece. But she was not

allowed to run and win glory for herself in the Olympic Games. She was so angry that she said to her father

that she would not marry anyone who could not run faster than her. Her father said that she must marry, so Atlanta made a bargain with him. She said to him,"These are my rules. When a man says he wants to marry me, I will run

against him. If he cannot run as fast as me, he will be killed. No one will be pardoned."

Many kings and princes wanted to marry Atlanta, but when they heard of rules they knew it was hopeless. So many

of them sadly went home, but others stayed to run the race. There was a man called Hippomenes who was amazed

when he heard of Atlanta's rules,"Why are these men so foolish?" he thought. "Why will they let themselves be killed

because they cannot run as fast as this princess?" However, when she saw Atlanta e out of her house to run, Hippomenes changed his mind."I will marry Atlanta--or die!" he said.

The race started and although the man ran very fast, Atlanta ran faster. As Hippomenes watched he thought,

"How can I run as fast as Atlanta?" He went to ask the Greek Godness of Love for help. She promised to help him

and gave him three golden apples. She said," Throw an apple in front of Atlanta when she is running past. When

she stops to pick it up, you will be able to run ast her and win."

Hippomenes took the apples and went to the King. He said," I want to marry Atlanta ." The King was sad to see

another man die, but Hippomenes said," I will marry her------or die!" So the race began.

Unit 3

WHO AM I?

Over time I have been changed quite a lot. I began as a calculating machine in France in 1642. Although I was

young I could simplify difficult sums. I developed very slowly and it took nearly two hundred years before I was

built as an analytical machine by Charles Babbage. After I was programmed by an operator who used cards with holes, I could “ think ” logically and produce an answer quicker than any person. At that time it was considered a

technological revolution and the start of my “artificial intelligence ” . In 1936 my real father, Alan Turing,

wrote a book about how I could be m

ade to work as a “ universal machine ” to solve any difficult mathematical problem. From then on, I grew rapidly

both in size and in brainpower. By the 1949s I had grown as large as a room, and I wondered if I would grow any

larger. However, this reality also worried my designers. As time went by, as was make smaller. First as a PC(personal puter) and then as a laptop, I have been used in offices and homes since the 1970s.

These changes only became possible as my memory improved. First it was stored in tubes, then on transistors and

later on very small chips. As a result I totally changed my shape. As I have grown older I have also grown smaller. Over time my memory has developed so much that, like an elephant, I never forget anything I have been told! And

my memory became so large that even I couldn ’ t believe it! But I was always so lonely standing there by myself,

until in early 1960s they gave me a family connected by a network. I was able to share my knowledge with others

through the World Wide Web.

Since the 1970s many new applications have been found for my. I have bee very important in munication, finance

and trade. I have also been put into robots and used to make mobile phones as well as help with medical operations.

I have even been put into space rockets and sent to explore the Moon and Mars. Anyhow, my goal is to provide humans with a life of high quality. I am now truly filled with happiness that I am a devoted friend and helper of the

human race!

ANDY– THE ANDROID

I ’ m part of an android football team. About once a year we are allowed to get together to play a game of football.

I ’ m as big as a human. It fact, I look like one too. On the football team I ’m a striker so I have to be able

to run very fast. My puter ships help me to move and think like a human. For example, I have learned to signal

to my teammates in puter language to give me the ball when I am open and have a good for a goal.

My first football petition was in Nagoya, Japan several years ago. Last year our team went to Seattle, Washington in the USA. We won second place. Personally, I think the team that won first place cheated. They had developed

a new type of program just before the petition. So we need to encourage our programmer to improve our intelligence too. We are determined to create an even better system. In a way our programmer is like our coach. She programs

us with all the possible moves she has seen while watching human games. Then she prepares reliable moves to use

if a new situation arises. In this way I can make up new moves using my “artificial intelligence ”. I could like

to play against a human team, for I have been programmed to act just like them. After all, with the help of my

electronic brain which never forgets anything, using my intelligence is what I ’ m all about!

Unit 4

HOW DAISY LEARNED TO HELP WILDLIFE

Daisy had always longed to help endangered species of wildlife. One day she wo

ke up and found a flying carpet by her bed. “ Where do you want to go? ” it asked. Daisy responded immediately.

“ I’d like to see some endangered wildlife, ” she said. “ Please take me to a distant land where I can find the

animal that gave fur to make this sweater. ” At once the carpet flew away and took her to Tibet. There d

103f

aisy saw and antelope looking sad. It said, “ We’ re being killed for the wool beneath our stomachs. Our fur is

being used to make sweaters for people like you. As a result, we are now an endangered species. ” At that Daisy cried, “I’ m sorry I didn ’ t know that. I wonder what is being done to help you. Flying carpet, please show me

a place where there ’s some wildlife protection. ”

The flying carpet traveled so fast that next minute they were in Zimbabwe. Daisy turned around and found that

she was being watched by and elephant. “Have you e to take my photo? ” it asked. In relief Daisy burst into laughter. “ Don’ t laugh,” said the elephant, “ Weused to be an endangered species. Farmers hunted us without mercy. They said we destroyed their farms, and money from tourists only went to the large tour panies. So the government decided to help. They allowed tourists to hunt only a certain number of animals if they paid the farmers. Now the farmers

are happy and our numbers are increasing. So good things are being done here to save local wildlife. ”

Daisy smiled, “ That ’s good news. It shows the importance of wildlife protection, but I ’d like to help as the

WWF suggests.” The carpet rose again and almost at once they were in a thick rainforest. A monkey watched them

as it rubbed itself. “What are you doing? ” asked Daisy. “ I ’m protecting myself from mosquitoes, ” it replied. When I find a millipede insect, I rub it over my body. It contains a powerful drug which affects mosquitoes. You

should pay more attention to the rainforest where I live the appreciate how the animals live together. No rainforest, no animals, no drugs. ”

Daisy was amazed. “ Flying carpet, please take me home so I can tell WWFand we can begin producing this new drug. Monkey, please e and help. ” The monkey agreed. The carpet flew home. As they landed, things began to disappear.

Two minutes later everything had gone-the monkey, too. So Daisy was not able to make her new drug. But what an

experience! She had learned so much! And there was always WWF

ANIMAL EXTINCTION

Many animals have disappeared during the long history of the earth.The most famous of these animals are dinosaurs.They lived on the earth tens of millions of years ago, long before humans came into being and their

future seemed secure at that time.

There were many different kinds of dinosaur and a number of them used to live in China.The eggs of twenty-five

species have been found in Xixia,County,Nanyang, Henan Province.Not long ago a rare new species of bird-like

dinosaur was discovered in Chaoyang County,Liaoning P

could not only run rovince.When scientists inspeacted the bones,they were surprised to find that these dinosaurs like the others

but also climb trees.They learned this from the way the bones were joined together.

Dinosaurs died out suddenly about 65 million years ago. Some scientists think it came after an unexpected incident when a huge rock from space hit the earth and put too much dust into the air.Others think the earth got too

hot for the dinosaurs

to live on any more.Nobody knows for sure why and how dinosaurs disappeared from the earth in such a short time.

Weknow many other wild plants, animals,insects and birds have died out more recently.According to a UN report,some 844 animals and plants have disappeared in the last 500 years.The dodo is one of them.It lived on the Island of

Mauritius and was a very friendly animal.Please listen to a story of the dodo and how it disappeared frome the

earth.

Unit 5

THE BAND THAT WASN’T

Have you ever wanted to be part of a band as a famous singer or musician? Have you ever dreamed of playing in

front of thousands of people at a concert, at which everyone is clapping and appreciating your music? Do you sing karaoke and pretend you are a famous singer like Song Zuying or Lin Huan? To be honest, a lot of people attach great importance to being rich and famous. But just how do people form a band?

Many musicians meet and form a band because they like to write and play their own music. They may start as a group of high-school students, for wh

bac

om practicing their music in someone ’s hours is the first step to fame. Sometimes they may play to passers-by in the

street or subway so that they can earn some extra money for themselves or to pay for their instruments.

Later they may give performances in pubs or clubs, for which they are paid in cash. Of course they hope to

make records in a studio and sell millions of copies to bee millionaires!

However, there was one band hat started in a different way. It was called the Monkees and began as a TV show.

The musicians were to play jokes on each other as well as play music, most of which was based loosely on the beatles. The TV organizers had planned to find four musicians who could act as well as sing. They put an advertisement

in a newspaper looking for rock musicians, but they could only find one who was good enough. They had to use actors for the other three members of the band.

As some of these actors could not sing well enough, they had to rely on other musicians to help them. So during

the broadcasts they just pretended to sing. Anyhow their performances were humorous enough to be copied by clubs

in order to get more familiar with them. Each week on TV, the Mondees would play and sing songs written by other

musicians. However, after a year or so in which they became more serious about their work, the Monkees

started to play and sing their own songs like a real band. Then they produced their own records and started tour

ing and play their own music. In the USA they became even more popular than the Beatles and sold even more records. The band broke up about 1970, but happily the reunited in the mid-1980s. they produced a new record in 1996, with

which they celebrated their former time as a real band.

FREDDY THE FROG(II)

Not long after Freddy and the band became famous,they visited Britain on a brief tour.Fans showed their devotion

by waiting for hours to get tichkets for their concerts.Freddy was now quite confident when he went into a concert hall.He enjoyed singing and all the congratulations afterwards!His most exciting invitation was to perform on

a programme called "Top of the Pops."He had to go to London,wear an expensive suit and give a performance to a

TV camera.It felt very strange.But as soon as the programme was over,the telephones which were in the same

room started ringing.Everybody was asking when they could see Freddy and his band again. They were truly stars.

Then things went wrong.Freddy and his band could not go out anywhere without being followed.Even when they wore

sunglasses or beards people recognized them. Fans found them even when they went into the toilet.They tried to

hide in the reading rooms of libraries,but it was useless.Someone was always there!Their personal life was regularly discussed by people who did not know them but talked as if they were close friends. At last feeling very upset and sensitive,Freddy and his band to which they were never to return,and went back to the lake.

Some peo ple may not agree with this opinion but they also cannot prove that they are right. In a trial, a judge must decide which eyewitnesses to believe and which not to believe. The judge does not consider what each eyewitness looks like or where that person lives or works. He/she only cares about whether the eyewitness has given true information, which must be facts rather than opinions. This kind of information is called evidence. 人教版新课标必修2 unit2 课文原文word格式 AN INTERVIEW Pausanias, who was a Greek writer about 2,000 years ago, has come on a magical journey on March 18th 2007 to find out about the present-day Olympic Games.

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 chang was here. …For example, one evening when it was so warm, I stayed awake on purpose until half past eleven in order to have a good look at the moon by my self. But as the moon gave far too much light, I didn’t dare open a window. Anothe five months ago, I happened to be upstairs at dusk when the window was open. I didn’t go downstairs until the window bad to be shut. T he 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 on 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.
