Unit 1
Appreciating literature
What is classic literature? Classics are the antiques of the literary world. They are novels, plays
and poems that were written a long time ago and were so well written and well received that people
still read them today. They are examples of great writing and wisdom, and even those written centuries ago can still be found in bookshops and libraries today.
Because a lot of classics were written so long ago, the language used in them is quite different from the language used today. This makes them difficult for some people to read, and often, the classics are left to gather dust on shelves. Many people do not read them because they think that they are old-fashioned and boring, and have nothing to do with life today.
However, if this is true, why do we still find classics in bookshops and libraries?
They have not disappeared and still have a place in the world today. Why else would many films based on them be successful? In 1995, Clueless, the award-winning film based on Jane Aus tin?s novel Emma, was released. Three years later, in 1998, a modern adaptation of Charles Dickens?s novel Great Expectations appeared in cinemas. I do not think that these classic novels would be made into films if they had nothing to do with life today.
Charles Dickens: ,England?s greatest writer?
Charles Dickens was born in Portsmouth, England in 1812. He wrote many novels.Olive Twist, David Copperfield and Great Expectations are probably his best-known works. He first published many novels one chapter at a time in newspapers, and some were later performed on stage. For people at that time, his stories were like the soap operas we see on TV today.
He died in 1870 and his tomb reads, ,by his death, one of England?s greatest writers is lost to the world.?
Great Expectations
Great Expectations is set in England in the early 1800s.Dickens uses Pip, the main character, to
tell the story . Pip is not only a character, he also tells the story of Great Expectations. Pip lives with his older sister and her husband Joe. Pip?s sister seldom has a kind word to say, but Joe is a kind and simple man, who would rather die than see any harm come to Pip.
Pip, who is seven years old when the story begins, is in a misty field of tombs when a man appears and frightens him. Mist is a symbol of danger and uncertainty in Great Expectations. Classic novels often have symbols which add interest, tension or deeper meaning to the text. Readers may not be able to see the danger, so they need a symbol like the mist to make it clearer to them.
There is a twist in the plot when a very generous stranger gives Pip a lot of money. Pip is about
18 years old when this happens, and the fortune sets him free from the financial worries. Pip makes
the abrupt decision to move from Kent, which is a constant remainder of his shabby beginnings, to
the bright lights of London.
Excited by his move to London, Pip can hardly wait to begin his new life. Money and education have changed him, and before long he develops the shortcomings of being shallow and having prejudice, even against his old companions. Pip dislikes it when Joe comes to visit him in London. He has rigid ideas of what it means to be civil and to be a gentleman, and is embarrassed by Joe he does not fit these.
Pip is bent on becoming a gentle man and winning Estella?s love. Estella is a beautiful girl, and
for Pip, she is a symbol of education and money. What it really means to be a gentleman is an important theme in Great Expectations. Is an educated person with a lot of money a gentleman? Or is
a gentleman somebody who is kind and good to his friends?
By the end of the novel, Pip has changed a lot. He learns that wealth does not buy happiness and that friends are more important than a fancy education. This change in Pip is called character development and is an important part of any novel. Does Joe forgive Pip? Does Pip get the girl of his dreams? You will just have to read it yourself to find out!

Unit 2
Turandot in Beijing
By Jane Jones
Last night, I witnessed the first of only eight performances of Giacomo Puccini?s world-famous opera, Turandot , being performed in the Forbidden City in Beijing, China. The performance was splendid. It starred some of the world?s greatest opera singers. Many great Chinese musicians, actors and singers were also cast. Puccini, an Italian, wrote Turandot towards the end of his life, in 1924. He liked East Asia very much and also wrote Madam Butterfly , which is set in Japan.
Turandot is the story of a cold-hearted Chinese princess, named Turandot, who lives in Beijing?s Forbidden City. In order to avoid marriage, she says that any potentia l husband must answer three riddles correctly or die.
Just imaging performing such an opera in the Forbidden City------there could not be a better setting! Y ou could almost feel the history. The weather was also perfect for an outdoor performance. Instead of a stage curtain, there were decorated panels covered with red and gold, and traditional Chinese drums were used to announce the start of the opera.
The story begins when a prince is killed for being unable to answer Turandot?s riddles. Shortly afterwards, another prince, Calaf, sees Turandot for the first time and falls in love. The handsome prince says that he will solve the riddles and marry her. Then, in a moving solo performance, a young slave of Calaf?s father, Liu expresses her love for Calaf. The story then takes on a classic triangle featuring Calaf, Turandot, and Liu, whose love for Calaf is unconditional.
In the story , Turandot was drunk with power. She even dares to try and exercise control over her father, the emperor of China, who has promised to allow her to choose her own husband. The emperor finds the deaths of so many men disturbing and although he would like to, he cannot break his promise.
Calaf recites the answers to the Turandot?s questions correctly, but she is greatly upset by this. Seeing this, Calaf says that if she can guess his name by sunshine, she does not have to marry him. Turandot is desperate to learn his name and threatens and terrifies Liu because he knows his name. while she is being tortured, Liu grabs a sward from a guard and kills herself. Everyone is shocked by this. After Liu kills herself, Calaf kisses Turandot and finally wins her affection. Then Calaf says his
own name aloud, leaving his future in Turandot?s hands.
The opera finishes with a beautifully-sung final duet, which was so moving that the audience fell silent. At the end of the story, the prince and princess marry and the whole city celebrates their happiness. Unfortunately, Puccini died before he completed this final scene, but he left notes for the
final duet, which was completed by one of his former students, Franco Alfano.
An opera company staged the opera in Beijing in the 1990s, but the performance I saw was the first time Turandot was staged inside the Forbidden City. The production combined the very best of Western and Chinese talents in music,staging and directing. The orchestra was conducted by the Zubin Mehta, an internationally famous conductor, who was born in India. The opera was directed by
the well-known Chinese director, Zhang Yimou. In the Beijing performance I saw, Turandot was played by Sharon Sweet from the USA, Liu was played by another opera singer from the USA, Barbara Hendricks, and Calaf was sung by Kristjan Johannsson from Iceland. They were all excellent.
The Forbidden City is an area where once only the emperor, his family and officials were allowed. However, in this wonderful production, it has been transformed into the location for a beautiful and heartbreaking love story. The bringing together of this group of people from many countries, the music, and the setting are clearly the key components of this amazing production.
1. Who completed the world-famous opera Turandot ?
A. Giacomo Puccini alone.
B. Puccini ?s former student Franco Alfano.
C. Giacomo Puccini and Franco Alfano.
D. Kristjan Johannsson from Iceland.
2. How many times was Turandot staged in the Forbidden City according to the article?
A. Only once.
B. Twice.
C. Eight times.
D. Unknown.
3.What does the writer mean by saying “there could not be a better setting ”?
A.Because the weather was perfect for an outdoor performance.
B.Because she felt that the audience could almost feel the history.
C.There were decorated panels covered with red and gold.
D.Because Turandot was born in the Forbidden City.
4.Which of the following statements is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. Liu ?s love for Calaf is unconditional.
B. The story takes on a classic love triangle.
C. Calaf finally wins Turandot?s affection.
D. Hundreds of princes were killed for being unable to answer Turandot?s riddles.
5.We may conclude from the passage that ________.
A.more princes would be killed if it were not for Calaf
B.no prince could solve Turandot ?s riddles
C.Calaf would marry both Liu and Turandot if Liu were still alive.
D.Liu could have won Calaf ?s affection if she hadn ?t killed herself.

Visiting the masters
Hi Yang Yan,
Here I am in Amsterdam. This trip has been fantastic! As you know, I am with my aunt and grandmother. They are both very talented artists, and I am thinking about starting painting myself after I get back. Let me tell you all about our trip.
We started in Spain and went to the city of M laga, the ábirthplace of Pablo Picasso. The house where Picasso was born is now a museum full of his art. M laga is a lovelyá city and the architecture is beautiful. I was amazed to learn that Picasso produced more than 20000 pieces of art and he wasn?t
just a painter. He drew pictures for books, and was also a sculptor and photographer. He developed different style of painting, including cubism, which is a type of art where things are represented as geometric shapes. My grandmother really likes cubist paintings and thinks he is the greatest artist ever.
After visiting Spain, we flew to Paris. In Paris,all the buildings were very historic.The architecture was my favorite part of Paris. Everything was just so beautiful!
During our four days in Paris we spent one whole day at the Louvre Museum. I thought it was
going to be very boring, but it wasn?t. In the Louvre Museum is the famous Mona Lisa painting by the Italian artist Leonardo da Vinci.He created this masterpiece between 1503 and 1506. I am sure you have seen this picture of a lady with dark hair and a mysterious smile. This painting is so valuable that
it is difficult to calculate what its price would be if the museum wanted to sell it. Besides being a painter, da Vinci was also a sculptor, an architect,an engineer and a scientist. He made a lot of scientific discoveries that he shared with the world, particularly in the field of astronomy .
Besides the works of da V inci, the Louvre Museum has more than 6000 other European paintings,
ranging from the 13th th
century. It doesn?t have any modern paintings in it. Modern century to the 19
paintings are not all kept at another museum in the city called the Musée d?Orsay. We went ther our second day in Paris because my aunt wanted to see the works of Claude Monet.
Monet was a French painter who lived between 1840 and 1926. He loved to paint lotus flowers
so much that he built a special garden at his home, where hundreds of lotus plants floated on the
surface of a pond. I think it would feel very peaceful to live there. My aunt wants to go back to France
again to see the garden. She almost wept because we missed it this time.
Now let me tell you about our trip to Amsterdam. On the way here, we flew over a thunderstorm.
Some people were scared, but I liked seeing the thunder in the clouds beneath the plane. Eventually,
the thunderstorm stopped and we saw a beautiful rainbow in the clouds.
Yesterday we went to the Van Gogh Museum. Van Gogh painted everything from people to
nature during his ten years of painting. He painted about 800 oil paintings and did 1600 drawings. One of his most famous oil paintings is The Potato Eaters, which he painted in 1885. His early paintings used a style called Impressionism, but towards the end of his life, he created more abstract
artwork. He did 36 paintings of himself, and his most famous still lifes are of sunflowers. One of my favorites of his paintings is called Starry Night, which he completed in 1889.
The sad thing is that although Van Gogh devoted his whole self to painting, he only sold one painting before he died in 1890. His younger brother, Theo, tried hard to sell and distribute Van Gogh?s paintings to buyers, but he was never able to negotiate a successful sale. Although we
adore his work today, V an Gogh was not successful while he was alive.
Tomorrow we are off to another museum in Amsterdam. The most famous paintings there are by Rembrandt. He lived from 1606 until 1669. My aunt really wants to see a painting of his called
the Night Watchman, which was painted in1642.
I?ll tell you more about my trip when I get back. .
Regards,
Li Ming

Unit 4
Important film events around the world
Host: welcome to our weekly programme, Movie Magic. Our guests today are representatives from six of the major international film festivals. Those spokeswomen and spokesmen will tell us about the festivals they represent. Joining us in the studio are Isabel Rose from the Cannes Film Festival, Hanz Muller from the Berlin International Film Festival, Kathy Barnes from the Sundance Film
Festival, Maria Bella from the Venice Film Festival, Mike Taylor from the
Toronto International Film Festival and Xu Li from the Shanghai International Film Festival.
Welcome, everyone! Maria, do tell us a little about the V enice Film Festival.
Maria: Well, I think it is right appropriate for me to begin our discussion. The V enice Film Festival is the oldest film festival in the world. It began in 1932. Our festival is part of a larger festival
which celebrates contemporary art. We view film as a type of contemporary art.
Host: Kathy, please tell us about the Sundance Film Festival.
Kathy: Unlike the Venice Film Festival, Sundance Film Festival only includes small, independent films. That is, it only includes those not financed by Hollywood studios. Many are made by
amateur directors and star amateur stars.
Maria: Kathy, I hate to interrupt you, but in defence of the V enice Film Festival, I have to point out that we don?t just feature Hollywood films. Our policy is to include high -quality films, regardless of who makes them. We don?t distinguish between Hollywood films and independent ones. As long as the film?s quality meets our standards, we include it.
Kathy: The Sundance Film Festival boycotts all Hollywood films, and we don?t foresee ever including them. The idea for our festival was hatched back in 1978, when it was known as the Utah/US
Film Festival. However, it was not well-known until 1981. it was then that Robert Redford tool
over and changed the focus to saluting independent films. It was renamed the Sundance Film
Festival in 1991. Redford has acted in and directed many big Hollywood films, and so he knew how many actors and directors were making good films unknown to the public. Now, if a film
wins an award at Sundance, there is a good chance it will become famous!
Isabel: Cannes is another festival that can make films famous. If a film wins a victory at the Cannes Film Festival, everyone will hear about it. I think it is fair to say that Cannes is the most
famous and exciting festival.
Hanz: I hate to contradict you, but in recent years, the Cannes Film Festival has given awards mostly to American films. So critics say that it has taken a step backwards, and is beginning to
resemble the Academy Awards in Hollywood too much.
Isabel: Well, yes, films shown at Cannes are often made with large budgets, and have well-known actors and directors. Many of them are American, but we reject the idea that we have lost our
international angle. Considering the history of our festival, we feel it is important not to favor
films from any one country. The Cannes Film Festival was started in 1939 because many people felt that the V enice Film Festival was giving awards to only German and Italian films.
Hanz: Well, in my opinion, most people agree that the Berlin Film Festival is one of the most international of all the film festivals. Since it began in 1951, we have given awards to films
from all around the globe. Hollywood films are in the minority at our festival, and films from
smaller countries that would be overlooked at Cannes, for example, have a real chance of winning in Berlin.
Mike: I am the spokesman for the Toronto International Film Festival, which began in 1975 and very quickly became one of the main film festivals around the world. Each year, famous actors and directors come to Toronto, and the whole film world pays attention to who wins. It is the second largest festival in the world------only Cannes is bigger. Our festival tries to show films
from many countries, but gives some bonus awards to Canadian films.
Xu Li: I represent the Shanghai International Film Festival. Our festival was founded in 1993 so we are perhaps the youngest festival. Even though we have only existed a short time, our festival has a good reputation worldwide. We are the only international film festival in China. We show films from many different countries and the highlight of the festival each year is the ,Jinjue? or Golden Cup Award.
1. Which of the following festivals views film as a type of contemporary art?
A. The Sundance Film Festival.
B. The Venice Film Festival.
C. The Cannes Film Festival.
D. The Toronto International Film Festival.
2.Which of the following is NOT true according to the transcript?
A.The Venice Film Festival includes small, independent films.
B.The Shanghai International Film Festival is the youngest one in the world.
C.The Cannes Film Festival has given awards mostly to films from the US in recent years.
D.The Sundance Film Festival will include Hollywood films in the future.
3.What is the particular feature of the Sundance Film Festival?
A.It directs focus to saluting independent films.
B.The idea of the festival was hatched back as early as in 1978.
C.It was renamed by Robert Redford in 1991.

文学欣赏
什么是经典文学？经典文学作品是文学世界的珍贵遗产。它们是很久以前创作的小说、戏剧和诗歌，写得
很好，很受欢迎，直至今日人们依然在阅读这些作品。经典文学是杰出的创作及智慧的的典范，即使是几百年
前写的那些作品，现在依然可以在书店和图书馆里找到。
因为许多经典文学作品是在很久以前创作的，它们使用的语言和今天所使用的语言有相当大的区别。这使
一些人阅读起来有些困难，经典文学作品常常被遗忘在书架上尘封。许多人不读经典文学作品就是因为觉得它
们过时了，枯燥无味，与今天的生活没有任何关系。
但是，如果这是真的，为什么我们今天仍然可以在书店里和图书馆里找到经典文学作品呢？它们其实并没
有消失，在当今世界仍占有一席之地，要不然为什么许多根据经典文学作品改编的电影可以成功呢？1995 年，《无影无踪》公映，这部获奖影片就是根据简﹒奥斯丁的小说《爱玛》改编的。三年后的1998 年，根据查尔斯﹒狄更斯的小说《远大前程》改编的现代版影片在电影院上映。我想这些经典小说如果与现代生活没有任何
关系的话，是不会被改编成电影的。
查尔斯﹒狄更斯：“英国最伟大的作家”
查尔斯﹒狄更斯于1812 年出生在英国的朴次茅斯。他创作了多部小说，《雾都孤儿》、《大卫﹒科波菲尔》、
《远大前程》可能是他最广为人知的作品。狄更斯的许多小说起先是在报纸上连载，每次一章，有一些作品后
来被搬上了舞台。对于那时候的人来说，他的故事就如同我们今天在电视上看到的肥皂剧。
狄更斯于1870 年去世，墓碑上这样写着：“他的去世令世界失去了一位最伟大的英国作家。”
《远大前程》
《远大前程》以19 世纪初的英格兰为背景。狄更斯通过他的小说的主角皮普来讲述整个故事。皮普不仅
是一个角色，而且讲述了《远大前程》的整个故事。皮普与姐姐及姐夫乔一起生活。皮普的姐姐几乎没有什么
善言好语，但乔却是一个淳朴善良的人，他宁愿死也不愿意皮普受到任何伤害。
故事开始时，七岁的皮普正在薄雾笼罩的坟场上，这时一个人冒了出来，把它吓坏了。在《远大前程》中
雾是危险和不确定性的特征。经典小说中往往有一些象征，这些象征为原文增添了趣味、紧张的气氛后者更深
层次的含义。读者可能看不到危险，因此需要一些特征，例如雾，使危险更清楚地展示在读者面前。
当一位非常慷慨的陌生人给了皮普一大笔钱的时候，故事情节发生了曲折变化。当时皮普大约18 岁，这
笔钱是他不用为经济问题担忧。皮普作了一个突然决定，要离开肯特，前往伦敦。肯特总是让他想到自己的
贫寒出身，而伦敦则华灯耀眼。
搬到伦敦让皮普兴奋不已，他迫不及待地开始了他的新生活。金钱和教育改变了他，不久他养成了浅薄、
偏见的缺点，甚至歧视昔日的同伴。当乔来伦敦看他时，皮普并不喜欢。他对文明和绅士有着刻板的观念，而
乔让他感到尴尬，因为乔和这些观念不匹配。
皮普一心要成为一名绅士，赢得埃斯特拉的芳心。埃斯特拉是一个漂亮的女孩，对皮普而言，她就是教育
和金钱的象征。《远大前程》一个重要的主题是：做一名绅士真正意味着什么？
一个受过教育，有很多钱的人是不是就是一名绅士？或者绅士就是那种对朋友很善良很友好的人？
小说结尾时，皮普有了很大的变化。他认识到财富买不到幸福，朋友比华而不实的教育更重要。皮普的这
一转变被称为人物的性格发展，是任何一部小说的重要部分。乔有没有原谅皮普呢？皮普有没有得到他的梦中
女孩呢？你还得自己读小说，去书中找到答案！
《图兰朵》在北京
简﹒琼斯
昨天晚上，我去看了贾科莫﹒普契尼闻名世界的歌剧《图兰朵》，那是在中国北京紫禁城八场演出的首场。
演出很精彩。几位世界顶级歌剧演唱家担当主演，许多中国杰出的音乐家，演员和歌手也参加了演出。普契尼
是意大利人，他在1924 年生命的最后时期创作了《图兰朵》。普契尼非常喜欢东亚，还创作了以日本为背景的
《蝴蝶夫人》。
《图兰朵》讲述的是一个冷酷心肠的中国公主图兰朵的故事。她住在中国北京紫禁城里。为了不出嫁，她
说任何想要成为她丈夫的人必须猜中三道谜语，否则就要被处死。
想想在紫禁城上上演这出歌剧吧——不可能有比这更好的场景了！你几乎可以感受到历史。天气对于户外
演出来说也是绝佳的。覆盖着红色和金色的装饰镶板代替了舞台帷幕，传统的中国鼓敲响，宣告了歌剧的开场。
故事开始时，一位王子因为猜不中图兰朵的谜语而被处死。过后不久，另一位王子卡拉夫第一次见到图兰
朵，并且爱上了她。英俊的王子说他将解开谜底，娶图兰朵为妻。接下来，卡拉夫父亲的年轻女仆柳儿在一段
感人的独唱中倾诉了她对卡拉夫的爱。故事随后演绎了发生在卡拉夫，图兰朵和柳儿三人之间的静电的三角恋
情，其中，柳儿对卡拉夫的爱是无条件的。
故事中，图兰多醉心于权力。她甚至敢于尝试并真正的控制自己的父亲，即中国皇帝。他曾经允诺女儿由
她自己选择丈夫。皇上为杀了这么多人而感到很不安，虽然他很想收回这一允诺，但又不能食言。
卡拉夫一一说中了图兰朵的谜底，然而这却让图兰朵非常的苦恼。因此，卡拉夫说如果她能在太阳升起之前
猜出他的名字，她就可以不嫁给他。图兰朵不顾一切的想知道卡拉夫的名字，她威胁恐吓柳儿，因为柳儿知
道卡拉夫的名字。柳儿在受到折磨时，从一个士兵的手中夺过一把剑自刎。这一幕震惊了所有人。柳儿自刎后，卡拉夫吻了图兰朵，并且最终赢得了她的爱情。然后卡拉夫大声地说出了自己的名字，把自己的未来托付给图兰朵之手。
歌剧在一段美妙的终曲二重唱中结束。这段二重唱非常的感人，观众都陷入了沉默。在故事的结尾，王子
和公主结婚了，整个紫禁城都在欢庆他们的幸福。不幸的是，普契尼还没有完成这最后的一幕就去世了，但它
为最后的二重唱留下了创作札记，他以前的一些学生弗朗哥﹒阿尔法诺完成了这最后一场。
在20 世纪 90 年代，一家歌剧公司将这出个歌剧搬上了北京的舞台，但我看的这次演出是《图兰朵》第一
次在紫禁城里上演。这次演出结合了东西方最优秀的音乐，演艺及导演人才。管弦乐队由印度出生的国际知名
指挥家祖宾﹒梅塔指挥。歌剧由中国著名导演张艺谋执导。我观看的这场北京演出，图兰朵由美国的莎伦﹒斯威特扮演，柳儿由美国另一位歌剧演唱家芭芭拉﹒亨德里克斯扮演，卡拉夫则是来自冰岛的克里斯蒂安﹒约翰
松。他们都很优秀。紫禁城曾经是只有皇帝，皇室人员和官员才许进入的地方，但是，在这次精彩演出中，它
变成了一个美丽而令人心碎的爱情故事的发生地。来自许多国家的人员联袂合作，加上音乐和场景，这些显然
是构成这一令人惊叹的演出的关键要素。
拜访艺术大师
杨彦：你好！
我现在是在阿姆斯特丹。这趟旅行真是妙极了！你知道的，我是与我姑妈和奶奶一起来的。她们都是非常
有天赋的艺术家，我在想回去之后我也要开始学画。让我告诉你我们的整个旅行计划吧。
我们从西班牙开始，去了马拉加，也就是巴勃罗﹒毕加索的出生地。毕加索出生的房子现在是一个博物馆，
放满了他的艺术品。马拉加是一个可爱的城市，建筑很美丽。我惊讶地得知，毕加索一生中创作了20 多万艺术作品，而且他不仅仅是一名油画画家，他也为图书画插图，还是一名雕刻家和摄影家。毕加索创作了不同的
绘画风格，包括立体派——一种用几何形状来表现事物的艺术形式。我奶奶非常喜欢立体派艺术作品，认为他
是有史以来最伟大的艺术家。
参加西班牙之后，我们飞到了巴黎。巴黎所有的房子都很有历史意义。建筑是我最喜欢巴黎的部分。所有
的一切都很美。
在巴黎的四天当中，我们花了一整天参观卢浮宫。我本来以为肯定会很无聊，但实际上不是。卢浮宫里有
意大利画家里奥纳多﹒达﹒芬奇著名的油画《蒙娜﹒丽莎》。他于1503 至 1506 年之间创作了这幅杰作。我想
你一定见过这幅画，一位妇人，黑黑的头发，带着神秘的微笑。这幅画如此珍贵，如果博物馆想买了它，都很难
为它估价。达﹒芬奇不仅是画家，还是雕刻家，建筑家，工程师和科学家。它有许多与世界共享的科学发现，尤
其是在天文学领域。
除了达﹒芬奇的作品，卢浮宫里还藏有其他欧洲画家从13 世纪到 19 世纪创作的六千余件作品，但里面没
有任何现代作品。现代艺术作品都在城市的另外一个博物馆，奥赛美术馆。在巴黎的第二天，我们去了那里，
因为我姑妈想去看看克劳德﹒莫奈的作品。
莫奈是一名法国画家，生于 1840 年，1926 年去世。他非常喜欢画莲花，在家中还建造了一个专门的花园，花
园里有上百株莲花浮在池塘的水面上。我想，生活在那里一定会感到很宁静。我姑妈希望可以重返法国，看
看那个花园。因为这次我们没去成，她几乎为此落泪。
现在让我告诉你我们的阿姆斯特丹之行。再来这里的路上，我们飞越了一场雷暴。一些人很害怕，但我很
喜欢看飞机下云层中的鹅雷暴。最终，雷暴停了，我们看到了云层中美丽的彩虹。
昨天我去了凡﹒高博物馆。在他的十年绘画岁月中，从人物到自然，他什么都画。他大约画了约800 件油画、 1600 件素描。他最著名的油画之一是《食土豆者》，创作于1885年。她早期的绘画风格是印象派，但到生
命后期，他创作了更为抽象的艺术作品。他为自己画了36 幅自画像，而他最有名的静物画是向日葵。我最喜
欢的他的画之一是《星夜》，他于1889年完成此画。
令人伤心的是，尽管凡﹒高全身心地投入绘画，但直到1890 年他去世时，他只卖出了一幅画。他的弟弟
西奥非常努力的向买主兜售和推销凡﹒高的画，但从来没有能做成一笔成功的生意。尽管我们今天崇拜凡﹒高
的画，但他在世时并不成功。
明天我们将去阿姆斯特丹的另外一个博物馆，那里最著名的画是伦勃朗的。他生于1606 年， 1669 年去世。我姑妈非常想去看看他创作于1642 年的《夜巡者》。
回去之后我会告诉你有关这次旅行更多的情况。
致礼！

别具一格的图画
曾经有人说过，任何东西都可以用来制作艺术品。几年前，一幅《蒙娜﹒丽莎》的画是用烘焙成不同颜色

同寻常的图画。

带上你的围裙，做好准备来制作一个比萨脸谱。现在，你既是一名大厨，又是一名艺术家。你可以用多种
不同的食物来帮你制作一张脸谱。以下是如何运用不同事物的几个点子。
把一些胡萝卜或者奶酪切成小小的薄片作为头发，可以将其布置成为你喜欢的发型。你也可以用海带丝作
为头发，将草莓切碎作为眼睛，桃子作耳朵，蘑菇作鼻子。接下来，你需要想一想嘴巴。你可以用半片西红柿，也
可以用一片培根做出一个笑容。其它你可以用来做比萨脸谱的食品包括茄子，火腿和方糖。这些材料大多都
可以在当地的食品店里找到。
当你做完这张脸谱时，你可以把它拍张照，这样就可以永远保存这张不寻常的图画了。拍完照片之后，你
可以用微波炉来烘烤比萨脸谱。
美国的一名艺术家曾经用水果和蔬菜来做比萨脸谱。他为每张比萨脸谱拍了照，然后用这些照片做成生日
卡片。从那时起，他已卖了超过两百万张卡片了。
绳画
要制作绳画，你需要后纸片、细绳和胶水。想想你要做什么样的画。它将是一幅抽象画，还是静物画、风
景画或者人物画呢？首先，用蜡笔或者铅笔在卡片上画出图案的轮廓。然后，在你想要放绳子的地方涂上胶水，通过
把绳子周围围成圈圈，你可以做出实心的形状。一旦绳子在卡片上晾干，你就可以在绳子不同的部位涂颜
色了。
羽毛贝壳画
这个点子是用羽毛和贝壳来创作图画。你需要胶水和卡片。选择小的贝壳，这样，当它们年在卡片上之后
就不会太重。想想你要做什么样的图案或图片。你可以在粘贴之前把所有的贝壳都铺放在卡片上。你可以在沙
滩上找到海贝壳。羽毛可以在枕头里或者养鸟的地方如动物园里找到。
三围垃圾图画
对某些人来说，这听起来可能比较恶心，但这其实非常干净，而且很有趣。我们每天都会制造很多垃圾，它
们包括不同的材料，如塑料、铝箔、布和纸。我们可以利用这些垃圾制作三围图画。这些图画会很大，所以你要用
非常结实的纸或者卡片纸，而且要用粘性非常好的胶水把这些垃圾粘贴到卡片纸上。一旦它们粘贴好，
你就可以在图中不同的地方上颜色了。
垃圾印画
又一次用到了垃圾。我们可以以另一种方式利用部分垃圾。例如，硬纸筒管的一段可以用来蘸颜料，在卡
片上画圆圈。我们可以用旧布蘸颜料，印出很有趣的图案。这些形状和图案可以沿直线重复或互相重叠。也可
以从其他的垃圾中切下各种形状，蘸取颜料，压在卡片上。
还有许多其它东西你可以利用，做出不一般的图画，为什么不试试上面的一些点子，然后试试你自己的呢？玩得开心！
全球重要的电影节
主持人：欢迎来到我们每周一次的节目《魅力电影》。我们今天的嘉宾是来自六个主要国际电影节的代表，这些发言人将告诉我们它们各自代表的电影节。我们的来宾是：来自戛纳电影节的伊丽莎白﹒罗斯，来
自柏林国际电影节的汉茨﹒穆勒，来自圣丹斯电影节的凯西﹒巴恩斯，来自威尼斯电影节的玛丽亚﹒
贝拉，来自多伦多国际电影节的迈克﹒泰勒，还有来自上海国际电影节的徐立。欢迎各位！玛丽亚，
给我们谈谈威尼斯电影节吧。
玛丽亚：好的，我想让我来开始我们的讨论再合适不过了。威尼斯电影节是世界历史最久的电影节，始于1932年。我们的电影节是一个规模很大的当代艺术庆典的组成部分。我们认为电影是一种当代艺术形式。
主持人：凯西，庆贺我们谈谈圣丹斯电影节。
凯西：与威尼斯电影节不同，圣丹斯电影节中只有小型的独立制作的电影，也就是说，它只包括那些没有受好莱坞制片厂助的电影。很多是由业余导演执导，业余演员出演的。
玛丽亚：凯西，很抱歉打断你，但是我得为威尼斯电影节说句话，我得知出我们不是仅仅只放映好莱坞电影。
我们的政策是囊括所有高质量的电影，而不在乎是谁制作了它们。我们不区分好莱坞电影与独立制作
影片只要电影质量达到了我们的标准，都能参加评选。
凯西：圣丹斯电影节抵制了所有的好莱坞电影，我们预计今后也不会涵盖它们。我们电影节的概念孕育于1978年，当时它被称为犹他州美国电影节。但是它一直都默默无闻，直到1981 年。那时罗伯特﹒雷德福接管了该影片，一改其主题，大力弘扬独立制片的影片。1991 年，电影节更名为圣丹斯电影节。雷德福曾
出演和指导过好多好莱坞大片，因此，他知道有多少演员和导演在制作不为公众所知的好电影。现在，
如果一部电影在圣丹斯电影节上获得奖项，它就很有可能出名！
伊莎贝尔：戛纳电影节是另一格让电影出名的电影节。如果一部电影在戛纳电影节上获胜，那么人人都会知道它。我认为可以公平地说，加纳电影节是最有名最激动人心的电影节。
汉茨：我不想反对你，但是近几年，加纳电影节的奖项大多数都给了美国电影。一些评论家说它在退步，而且开始太多模仿奥斯卡金像奖。
伊莎贝尔：嗯，是这样的，戛纳电影节展出的电影通常都有大预算、大明星、大导演。其中许多都是美国影片，
但我们不接受这种观点，即我们也丧失了我们的国际化视角。考虑到戛纳电影节的历史，我们觉得不偏
向某一国家的电影是非常重要的。戛纳电影节创立于1939 年，就是因为当时许多人觉得威尼斯电影节
只给德国和意大利电影颁奖。
汉茨：唔，我认为，大多数人都同意，柏林电影节是所有电影节中最国际化的一个。从1951 年创办开始，我
们给来自全国各地的电影颁奖。好莱坞电影在我们电影节中只是一小部分，而来自小国家的电影，例如
可能被戛纳电影节忽视的电影，在柏林电影节有真正的获奖机会。
迈克：我是多伦多国杰电影节的发言人。多伦多电影节创立于1975 年，很快就成为了世界最重要的电影节之
一。每年，著名的演员和导演汇集多伦多，整个电影界都会关注谁得奖。它是世界上第二大电影节——仅
次于戛纳电影节。我们的电影节力图展播许多国家的电影，但给加拿大电影颁发一些特别鼓励奖。
徐立：我代表上海国际电影节。我们的电影节创立于1993 年，因此我们可能是最年轻的电影节。尽管存在的
时间短，我们的电影节却在世界上享有很好的声誉。我们是中国惟一的国际电影节。我们展映许多不同
国家的电影，电影节每年的亮点就是金爵奖。

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。

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.

牛津高中英语模块2课文翻译Unit 1Reading 男孩失踪，警方茫然 美国警方现已加紧对一名15岁男孩的搜索，该男孩于三天前在新罕布什尔州的多佛市失踪。该事件引起了公众的极大兴趣，原因是有各种关于男孩失踪前后天空中出现奇怪光亮和外星人造访地球的新闻报道。 人们最后一次看见学生贾斯廷·福斯特是在星期五晚上。当晚8点，贾斯廷和两个朋友到外面打棒球，这两个朋友都说贾斯廷打完球就回家家。目击者也说晚上10点45分他们看到贾斯廷朝家走去。贾斯廷的妹妹，九岁的凯莉说大约11点她听到哥哥回到家中。 “我止准备上床睡觉，”凯莉说，“贾斯廷径直去自己的卧室了。我并没有看到他，但我听到他放了自己最喜爱的CD。我上床睡觉了，大约午夜时分我被窗外的亮光弄醒了。” 起先，小姑娘以为是满月的光亮，然而接着她意识到光亮在移动，而且越来越近。 “我拉开窗帘，看到一只巨大的飞船在窗外飞行。飞船四周是蓝色的光，还有很多窗户里面站着许多白皮肤、眼睛又黑又大的奇怪生物。我害怕极了。” 凯莉说飞船接着转到房子的侧面，朝她哥哥的卧室移去。“出现一道闪光，我还听到贾斯廷的叫喊，接着“飞船就消失了。从那以后我就再没见过贾斯廷。肯定是外星人带走了他。” 凯莉然后跑去叫醒她的妈妈。但是，福斯特夫人以为贾斯廷在…个朋友家过夜了，因此她认为凯莉只是做了个恶梦，于是将她打发回床上。福斯特先生当晚忙于他的道路建设工作，事件发生时并不在家。第二天午饭时贾斯廷仍未露面，福斯特夫人开始担心起来，于是让丈夫打电话报警。 多佛市的一些人也声称当晚看见了外星人。“这种事在我身上就发生过！’‘梅维斯·伍德夫人说，“那些外星人将我劫持到飞船上，以便他们在我身上做研究。幸运的是，他们放我回家，我一点儿也没有受伤。整个经历太可怕了！回家之后我一直睡不好觉。我认为贾斯廷也是被他们劫持走了。” 当被问及贾斯廷被外星人绑架的可能性时，负责调查此案的萨姆·彼得森侦探告诉记者：“人们有时候编造出这类奇异的故事。事实上并没有确凿的证据证明是外星人劫持了他。所以，尽管我们不排除这种想法，但是我们也在调查其他的可能性。在确认到底发生了什么事之前，我们是不会放弃的。” Project 喜马拉雅雪人、北美野人和神农架野人 几个世纪以来，不断有人报告说在喜马拉雅山区看到一种被称为喜马拉雅雪人的野生动物。据说，雪人是种高大多毛，像人类一样用两脚

高一牛津英语课文
Home alone Act one Mom and Dad arrive back from vacation a day earlier than expected. The curtains are closed and the living room is dark when Mom and Dad enter. Dad: It’s so nice to be home! Mom: Yes, I can’t wait to surprise the boys! Suddenly a door opens and a soccer ball flies through the room. Eric runs in after it, followed by a big dog, walking very slowly. Eric: Mom! Dad! You’re back early! (looking around room, sounding frightened) But, but--- you weren’t supposed to come home until tomorrow! The dog slowly walks to Mom and Dad. Mom: (Bending to touch dog) Eric, he’s so tired and hungry! (looking at table) The money for dog food is gone, but Spot looks like he is starving! What did you do with the cash we left? Dad: And look at this room— garbage all over the place! Where is your brother? (shouting angrily) Daniel! Daniel: (running into room) Mom, Dad, I can explain--- Dad opens the curtains and light comes into the room. The room is in a mess, with pizza boxes on the floor and dirty dishes in the sink. In the corner, there is a garbage can around which are pieces of garbage and waste paper. Mom and Dad both turn towards Daniel. 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? Act two, scene two Mom: Do you think we were too hard on Daniel? Perhaps there is a reason why the house is a mess… Dad: Maybe, but now that he has been so rude to us, I feel like we have to punish him or he
