All of them are food for animals and people.Grain can be fed to animals just as it is harvested. But before people use them grains are usually made into flour or breakfast cereal. Bread; macaroni通心粉; and cereals麦片 all come from grain.Tomatoes; beans; potatoes; beets甜菜; lettuce生菜; carrots and onions are field and garden vegetables. Can you think of any others Vegetables are good for people and for some animals such as pigs and rabbits.Farms that grow vegetables for city people to eat fresh are called truck farms. Truck farms are usually close to big cities. Each day hundreds of loads of fresh vegetables are brought to stores on the farmers' trucks. Without the truck farmers people in cities would not eat well. And without city people who eat fresh vegetables; the truck farmers would have no work.There are many kinds of fruit. Apples; pears; peaches; cherries; oranges; grapefruit; and berries are a few kinds. You will be able to think of other kinds that you like. Most fruit is grown on specialized farms. But many general farms have some fruit to use and sell also.Like vegetables; fruit is sold fresh in markets. But a large part of both fruit and vegetable crops is sent to factories to be canned or frozen.In warm parts of our country farmers grow cotton; rice; tobacco; sugar cane甘蔗; and peanuts.Specialized farms raise flowers and garden plants. They are sold to florists花商 and to families for home gardens; or yards; orwindow boxes. A farm that grow plants and flowers to sell is called a nursery苗圃. Most nurseries have glass buildings; called hothouses or greenhouses. The hothouses are heated to protect the plants from cold in the winter but let them get plenty of light; so they can be grown all through the year.Some farms grow only trees. Some of these are Christmas tree farms. Others are large forests where trees are grown for their wood. The wood is used for buildings; furniture and firewood. Some tree farms grow only nut trees.Task 2答案1 The UN agencies report that the market value of pesticides in developing countries last year was about three thousand million dollars.2 The agencies called for worldwide acceptance of Food and Agriculture and World Health Organization pesticide rules. They say this would help guarantee the safe production of and trade in pesticides.原文Two United Nations agencies are expressing concern about the safety of some pesticides used to kill insects. They report that about thirty percent of all pesticides sold in developing countries fail to meet widely accepted rules for quality. They say these products are a serious threat to human health and the environment.The UN Food and Agriculture Organization and the World HealthOrganization gave the warning.In developing countries; pesticides are used mainly for agriculture. Pesticides kill insects and other organisms that threaten crops. Pesticides also are used for public health. They control insects that spread disease; such as mosquitoes that spread malaria.The UN agencies report that the market value of pesticides in developing countries last year was about three thousand million dollars. They say the estimated market value of pesticides worldwide was thirty-two thousand million dollars.Officials say poor quality pesticides often contain harmful chemicals. These chemicals often are banned or restricted in some countries.Possible causes of low quality in pesticides include production problems and failure to use the right chemicals. Officials say the active chemicals in many pesticides are stronger than those permitted by many governments. They also say poor quality pesticides may contain poisonous substances or substances that are not pure.Officials say the quality of pesticide containers and product information on the containers are other concerns. They say information on the containers often fails to explain the active chemicals and how to use the product safely.The WHO says products listing false information have been sold for years in some areas. The agencies say the problem of poor quality pesticides is widespread in parts of Africa south of the Sahara Desert. They called for worldwide acceptance of Food and Agriculture and World Health Organization pesticide rules. They say this would help guarantee the safe production of and trade in pesticides.Officials say the agencies' rules are especially important for developing countries. They say developing countries often lack systems for testing pesticides.Task 3答案A.1 c 2 d 3 bB.That’s because they’re making an investment all the time; but are still not sure whether or not they can make profits.原文Interviewer: Cattle raising and beef in the US is big business; isn't itBob Beck: Yes; it's the largest business—cattle business.Interviewer: It must be a very profitable business then.Bob Beck: Uh; not necessarily.Interviewer: It's not necessarily a profitable businessBob Beck: At times; it's not profitable. Your production costs get...it's a supply and demand market; and if your supply islarger than your demand...Interviewer: So the price is fluctuating all the time...Bob Beck: Right. It fluctuates; and it can get below production costs.Interviewer: But you never know. For instance; next year; you don't know what it'll bring on the market.Bob Beck: No; technically it takes a year and a half from the time you breed the cow; until you get the calf; until the calf'smarketable.Interviewer: Uh-huh.Bob Beck: You've got a year; to a year and a half; tied up there. Interviewer: So; you're making an investment all the time.Bob Beck: Right. So you're not sure.Interviewer: It sounds like it might be a very insecure kind of existence. Wonder why it is that people want to be farmersor ranchers大农场主 then...Bob Beck: I think the majority of it is you like it. It's one thing.It's a breed kindof people. They like it. If you don'tlike what you're doing; why...Interviewer: What is there about it You live essentially in a rural area. Doesn't that feeling of isolation ever bother you Bob Beck: No. It's getting too crowded.Interviewer: Too crowdedBob Beck: Too many peopleInterviewer: I can see that; for instance; in a city; you have restaurants to go to; movie theaters—all kinds ofthings available to people; a lot of conveniences whichyou don't have in the more rural areas. What do peoplewho farm and ranch do for recreation and relaxation; forinstance... erm...Bob Beck: Well; I think a lot of it is if you're a livestock raiser;you'll go check your cows in the evening instead of goingto a movie.Interviewer: Uh-huh.Bob Beck: That's as much recreation as driving through a bunch or cows; and if you like them; you enjoy that.Interviewer: In terms of the way of life; to a lot of people; it would seem that it's a very hard life.

Would you regard that as one of the difficultthings about it; or is that...Bob Beck: No.Interviewer: …just sort of... part of itBob Beck: For me; if I had to go to a desk every morning; that'd kill me.Task 4答案A. paid off; fall back on; a security; operating expenses; complete disasterB.1 Some of them cook the meals; clean the house and take care of the kids every day.2 Yes. That is especially so after they've had one or two bad years when they couldn’t make money.3 When their children are small; they were with their parents to go out to work; when they are very small; Sharon didn’t go out as much as she would later.4 She thinks that in this way the children are a lot more self-reliant. They learn to work and they learn responsibility. They learn a lot about life by being continually in life with animals.原文Bob Beck: I think; for a wife; the same as a husband; they like it or they wouldn't marry a farmer or a rancher.Interviewer: Uh-huh.Bob Beck: They'd get out. I think it's not at all wives. Some of them are just like suburban housewives.Interviewer: Uh-huh.Bob Beck: They cook the meals; and they clean the house and that's it... take care of the kids...Interviewer: Have you known some situations like thatBob Beck: Oh; yeah; I know situations like thatInterviewer: Sharon; is there a problem of the feeling of security Sharon Beck: What kind of security are you talking about—financial securityInterviewer: Uh; yeah; financial security. Uh; the thing is up and down. You don't know what the market's going to bring;er... for beef. You work all year; and so forth... Isthere any problem of that sortSharon Beck: Sure; there's the problem of security. Especially; if you've had one or two bad years. You feel awfullyinsecure.Interviewer: Uh-huh.Sharon Beck: If you've borrowed money to buy a farm or to operate;and there's no money coming in; you feel awfullyinsecure.Interviewer: Uh-huh.Sharon Beck: But if you've got a fairly good amount of your ranch paid off; you've got that to fall back on. You can alwaysthink of that as a security. If everything else fails;if you can’t pay for your operating expenses…Interviewer: Uh-huh.Sharon Beck: ...you can always sell your equity in your ranch. So it isn't complete disaster.Interviewer: But it's not something that bothers you terribly. I mean; it's a fact of life. It's sort of...Sharon Beck: Something you live with; yeah...Interviewer:... part of the thing. The role of the wife in this situation is quite different than that of a suburbanhousewife. You don't have much free time; do you Sharon Beck: No.Interviewer: Because; essentially; you work in much the same way that your husband does.Sharon Beck: Yes; I'm usually with him.Interviewer: How do you handle the whole family-life situation—children You're out almost as much as aworking mother in the city; aren't youSharon Beck: Yes. The only difference is we're together. Interviewer: The children too...Sharon Beck: The children too. When they're not in school; when they were small; they were with us. When they were very small;of course; I didn't go out as much.Interviewer: Do you feel that there are advantages in growing up in this waySharon Beck: Yeah; I definitely feel that there're advantages.

In News Item 1, the WTO faces the criticism particularly from developing countries that demand more concessions from developed nations in trade talks. In News Item 2, the WTO was accused of protecting the interests of big business at the expenses of those of workers and the environment.3 Yes. Throughout history, rich people and developed countries have benefited most from the existing international trade arrangements. Now it’s time for them to give more considerations for poor countries and people.As a leading actor in the process of globalization, the WTO should do more to reduce its negative impact on the poor and the environment.原文News Item 1And this news from South Africa— Commonwealth leaders have called for fair treatment for poor nations at the World Trade Organization talks later this month. Commonwealth Secretary-General Emeka Anyaoku read a statement from the leaders during their meeting in Durban. It calls for removal of all trade blocks for the exports of poor countries and it says that strong export growth is necessary for improving the living conditions of poor countries.

The combined population of APEC countries is about 2,500,000,000 two and one half thousand million people.

The computer company— Microsoft has become the first company in history to be valued at more than 500,000 million dollars. Microsoft produces an operating system that is used in most of the computers in the world. Microsoft was established by Bill Gates. If the company were a country, it would have the 9th largest economy in the world.News Item 2In Washington, a judge has ruled that Microsoft Company has acted as a monopoly. Thismeans Microsoft took steps to end competition from other companies to gain total control of the market. The judge said that Microsoft’s business actions harmed people who buy computer products. The court decision is considered a major defeat for the company. Microsoft is the world’s largest maker of computer software products.Task 6答案A.1 T,2 F,3 F,4 T,5 T,6 TB.Judge Jackson’s rulings1 misusing, computer programs2 two smaller businessesThe Federal Appeals Court’s rulings1 block competition2 reconsider3 fair/being fair, Microsoft and Bill GatesLegal experts’ comments1 the Federal government, Microsoft2a The Supreme Courtb a new trial, the unresolved legal questionsc negotiations, privatelyBill Gates’ responsethe situation, solutionProspects1 an agreement2 punished, pay money原文In November, a Washington D.C. judge found the Microsoft Corporation guilty of misusing its power to control the market for computer programs. Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson announced his findings after months of trial. He said Microsoft uses its power to illegally block competition.Judge Jackson later ordered that Microsoft be divided into two smaller businesses. The Microsoft Corporation quickly appealed Judge Jackson’s ruling to a Federal Court.Last week, the Federal Appeals Court ruled on the case. It said Microsoft Corporation was guilty of creating a company that used its power to block competition. The seven Appeals Court judges agreed with Judge Jackson that Microsoft limited creativity in the computer industry and harmed the public. They said that Microsoft was guilty of violating several federal laws.However, the Federal Appeals Court also said the Washington D.C. court must reconsider its order to divide Microsoft into two smaller companies. The federal court dismissed Judge Jackson’s decision. The Appeals Court judges accused Judge Jackson of not being fair during the Microsoft Trial. They severely criticized him for comments he made about Microsoft and its chairman to reporters during the trial.The Federal Appeals Court also said Judge Jackson repeated these mistakes several times. Itsaid the public would lose its trust in a legal system that permits judges to speak their opinions to reporters during a trial.Legal experts say both the federal government and Microsoft can claim small victories with the Federal Appeals Court ruling. The experts say government lawyers were able to prove that Microsoft is guilty of violating federal laws. At the same time, Microsoft can claim a victory because it may not have to divide into two smaller companies.Legal experts say government lawyers and the lawyers for Microsoft must now choose one of three different possible paths. First, either side could appeal the Federal Court’s decision to the Supreme Court. Or, they could request a new trial before a different lower court judge to consider some of the unresolved legal questions. A third choice is for both sides to reopen negotiations to try to settle the case privately. Such efforts failed during the Clinton Administration.Bill Gates is the head of Microsoft Corporation. He says it is now a good time for all the groups involved to discuss the situation and see what kind of solution could be negotiated.Most legal experts believe that the Microsoft Company and government lawyers will come to an agreement during future negotiations. They say Microsoft may be punished by being forced to pay money.Task 7答案News Item 1A.1 It will send Destiny into Orbit.2 It is a scientific research laboratory.3 Destiny is the most technologically complex research center ever put into space.4 Over one billion dollars.5 It will last eleven Days.6 The will make three walks in space to attach the laboratory to the International Space Station’s Control Centre.News Item 2B.News Lead: The first laboratory has been connected to the International Space Station.1 launched, Wednesday, February 7th2 Destiny3 mechanical arm4 a linking device5 protective clothing, complete work原文News Item 1In space news. The space shuttle Atlantis has taken off from Cape Canaveral, Florida. The spaceship will send the Destiny scientific research laboratory into orbit. The laboratory is an important part of the International Space Station. NASA officials say Destiny is the most technologically complex research center ever put into space. The laboratory has cost over 1,000,000,000 dollars to build. Space shuttle astronauts will make three walks in space during an eleven-day mission to attach the laboratory to the International Space Station’s Control Center. News Item 2The first laboratory has been connected to the International Space Station. The American space shuttle Atlantis was launched from the Kennedy Space Center, Wednesday, February 7th. It carried the new laboratory Destiny to the space station, which is orbiting Earth. Destiny is the first of six space laboratories that will be launched and added to the space station. The five crew members of Atlantis used the space shuttle’s huge mechanical arm to take the laboratory out of the shuttle. The arm carefully moved Destiny to a linking device on the International Space Station. Two members of the Atlantis crew put on protective clothing. They left the shuttle and moved out into space to complete work on the link.Task 8答案110 stories, employing, desks, collapse, figures, recovered, crashed, dead, searching, 800原文The World Trade Center is 110 stories high. Four hundred firms had offices there employing tens of thousands of people. When the planes hit, it’s thought between 10 and 20 thousand people would have been sitting at their desks. Before the collapse of the building, many people did manage to get away, but figures aren’t yet known.So far 55 bodies have been recovered. 260 police officers and firefighters who went into the building after the planes crashed are missing and feared dead. In the Pentagon, the world’s largest office building, rescuers are still searchin g the rubble. It’s thought around 80 bodies there have been found but estimates of those who died could go up to about 800.Task 9答案A.released, number one, terrorist attack, The Rising原文Bruce Springsteen’s new album was released July 30th. It is number one in record sales in more than ten countries. Most of its songs are about the September 11th terrorist attacks. Shep O’Neal plays some of the songs on the album, The Rising.“You’re Missing” is probably the saddest song on The Rising. A woman’s husband has died. She and her children see the many things that belonged to him around the house, but he is gone.“Into the Fire” is about one of the hundreds of police, firefighters and rescue workers who died in the terrorist attacks. The song honors the love and sense of duty he showed that day. It is also a prayer for the strength and hope that his sacrifice represents.Songs on The Rising also express anger about the attacks. But, the anger is mostly a personal statement, not a political one. The song “Empty Skies” describes the desire to strike back that a person feels after a senseless loss.The album’s title song appeals to listeners to come together and heal each other. We leave you now with Bruce Springsteen’s hopeful title song, “The Rising.”Task 10答案News Item 1A.1 A four-year exhibition of the work of the Dutch artist Vincent van Gogh has opened in Amsterdam.2 It is one of his early drawings in water color, pencil and ink, depicting a woman carrying a child along a windswept road.3 A German art dealer acting for an anonymous collector.4 In 1883.News Item 2B.movie industry, directing, editing, released, Oscar, metals, statue, weighs, priceless, offers, earning 原文News Item 1A four-year exhibition of the works of the Dutch artist Vincent van Gogh has opened in Amsterdam with the unveiling of one of his early drawings which has only recently come to light; the drawing in water color, pencil and ink depicts a woman carrying a child along a windswept road. It was sent to the museum by a German art dealer acting for an anonymous collector. The work dated 1883 is one of the main attra ctions in the exhibition at Amsterdam’s van Gogh Museum.News Item 2Sunday will be the most important day of the year for hundreds of people in the movie industry. Filmmakers will receive Academy Awards for the best acting, directing, writing, editing, sound, music and other work on movies released last year. The winners will receive an award called an Oscar. It is shaped like a man. It is made of several metals covered with gold. The statue is only about 34 centimeters tall. It weighs less than four kilograms. But the award can be priceless to the person who receives it. Winning an Oscar can mean becoming much more famous. It can mean getting offers to work in the best movies. It also can mean earning much more money.Task 11答案News media are the means, or methods, by which people learn what is happening in their city, in their country, and in the world. The news can be classified into two general categories. The categories are print media and electronic media.Print media are usually divided into magazines and newspapers. Most newspapers print news daily. For example, the newspaper The New York Times is published every day of the year. Most news magazines are published weekly. For instance, Newsweek and Time magazines are published once a week.The electronic media are generally divided into radio and television. Radio news is news that you listen to. In the United States, many radio stations broadcast 5 minutes of news every hour on the hour. Television news is news that you not only listen to but also watch.。

18第五单元Translation of Text A夜莺与玫瑰1 “她说若是我给她带去红玫瑰，她愿意和我一路跳舞。

”年轻的学生哭喊道，“但满院子都没有一朵红玫瑰。

”2 这番话给在老橡树上自己巢中的夜莺听见了，她通过橡树叶张望，心中惊讶。

3 “在我的花园没有红玫瑰！”他哭着说，他美丽的大眼满含泪水：“啊，圣贤之书我已读完，哲学奥妙尽藏心中，但是缺少一朵红玫瑰却使我的生活瞬时暗淡！”4 “终于有一名重情感的人了，”夜莺说，“我曾日日夜夜为他歌唱，此刻我终于见到他了。

”5 “王子明晚将举行一个舞会，”年轻的学生喃喃道：“我的爱人也将前去我若为他采得红玫瑰，她将和我一直跳舞到天亮。

我会揽她入怀，而她也会偎依在我的肩头。

但在我的花园没有红玫瑰，因此我只能独自坐那儿黯然神伤，心痛超级。

”6 “他确实是一个重情感的人，”夜莺说。

真爱是美好的，它价胜千金。

7 “乐工们将奏乐助兴，”年轻的学生道，“我的爱人将和着竖琴和小提琴声翩翩起舞。

她的身姿是如此的轻盈宛似蜻蜓点水般。

但他是不会和我一路跳的，因为我没有红玫瑰献给她。

”于是他扑倒在草地上，双手捂着脸放声痛哭起来。

8 “他为何哭泣呢？”一只绿色的蜥蜴翘着尾巴通过他身旁时问道。

9 “是啊，到底为何呢？”一只在阳光下挥动着翅膀的蝴蝶问道。

10 “到底为何呢？”一朵雏菊用低沉的声音对他的邻居说道.11 “他为一只红玫瑰哭泣。

”夜莺说。

12 “为了一朵红玫瑰？”他们叫道，“太荒谬了！”那本来就有点愤世嫉俗的小蜥蜴肆无顾忌的笑道。

可是夜莺了解男孩的悲痛，默默无声地坐在橡树上。

13 突然她张开自己棕色的双翼，向空中飞去。

她犹如影子般穿越树林，又如影子般越过花园。

14 在草地的中心一棵美丽的红玫瑰树傲然屹立。

她看到后当即向它飞去：“给我一朵红玫瑰，”她高声喊道，“我将为你献上我最甜美的歌声。

”15 可是树儿摇了摇头。

This family loves to travel, and there are photos of their trips together near the TV.2. In apartment two, there is a TV on a small cabinet. Near the TV, there are three trophies. Thefather is on a bowling team, and these are his. His children play sports, too.3. Apartment three is very different from the others.

By 2030, it will be 60 percent. With more people in cities, there is less space, and housing costs more. What can we do? Here’s an idea.Container HousingThe city of Amsterdam is using old shipping containers as housing for students and other people. The containers are small—30 square meters (three hundred twenty square feet)—but they are comfortable. There is space for a living area, bedroom, kitchen, and bathroom. These houses are also inexpensive: only a few thousand dollars to buy. Today, the containers are used around the world as homes and student dormitories, as well as shops, offices, and hotels.Tiny HousesIn the U.S., Jay Shafer makes tiny houses for people. The smallest is only 9 square meters (98 square feet). The houses are small, but they have everything you need. On the first floor, there is a kitchen, a living area, and a bathroom. On the second floor is a bedroom. It is big enough for two people. The houses are also inexpensive. Most are $15,000.1. Container Housing集装箱房屋2. Tiny Houses微型房屋Listening 2ScriptM1: I go to school in Amsterdam and I need some place to live. Container homes are comfortable and inexpensive. They’re perfect for students.F1: I don’t know ... I know container apartments are a good idea, but I think they’re ugly. They look like big boxes.M2: A tiny house is perfect for one or two people, but I have a family of four. They’re just too small.F2: Tiny houses are inexpensive to make and buy so you save money. Also, they’re small so you use less water and energy. They’re good for people and the Earth.1.some place to live一个住的地方2. a family of four一家四口人3.save money省钱LISTENING SKILLSScript1) Laura is one of the top students in Grade One.2) Ted likes to sing English pop songs.3) Listening is not a big problem for me.4) Frank can speak six languages fluently.5) I’d like to read novels and short stories in English.6) Bob’s strong local accent makes it difficult for us to understand him.1. one of the top students优秀学生之一2. local accent当地口音PART III VIDEO ECO-FRIENDLY HOMESCRIPTNarrator:This is the Cohen’s home. It’s a three-bedroom house in a suburb in the United States. It’s a nice area, but there is a problem with this house: it uses a lot of energy.But this isn’t surprising. Houses and buildings use forty percent of all the energy in the United States. And many homes waste a lot of energy.Amory Lovins teaches people to save energy in their homes.Today, he is visiting the Cohen’s house. Lovins walks around the house, and he finds different problems. There’s a problem with the heater in one room, and the freezer in the kitchen. Lovins:“Oh, what have we here...?”Narrator:We don’t have to use a lot of electricity in our homes, says Lovins. There are simple ways to save energy.It’s surprising; homes waste a lot of energy, even while you sleep.To save energy in your home, unplug electronics when you’re not using them.Lovins:“Do you see that little red light down in the corner?”Narrator:Now, the TV is off, but it’s still using energy because it’s plugged in. The Cohens pay sixty dollars every year for this extra energy. The Cohen family has lots of electronics. They’re all plugged in. So they’re always using energy.Lovins lives in Aspen, Colorado, in the mountains. His house is very eco-friendly. All of the home’s electricity comes from solar panels.Some days, it’s below -40 degrees Celsius here. But Lovins’ house is warm, thanks to the solar panels.In fact, Lovins’whole house uses very little energy—only 120 watts. That’s a little more energy than you need to turn on one light bulb.It’s a very eco-friendly home.1. a three-bedroom house一幢有三间卧室的房子2.unplug electronics拔出电器的电源插头3.plug in插上电源的插头4.thanks to幸亏；由于。

After that, the college president washed dishes in a Boston restaurant. During the last ten days of his leave, he worked as a garbage collector.By doing the hard manual labor, Dr. Coleman wanted to remind himself of the common things about people.

Stuart spoke after the game.“The world’s not very big,” he said. “We can go round it now in three months.”“In eighty days only,” said Phileas Fogg.“You can’t do it in eighty days,” replied Stuart.“I can,” said Fogg. “How much do you want to bet?”“Four thousand pounds,” Stuart said.“Only four thousand?” Fogg continued. “I have twenty thousand in the bank. I’ll bet all of it.”“Twenty thousand?” Smart asked in amazement.“I won’t lose,” said Fogg. “Eighty days is quite enough for me. But you must bet me twenty thousand pounds too. Do you accept?”The five men talked together and then answered him. “We accept,” they said. “When do you begin the journey?”“There’s a train to Dover at a quarter to nine. I’ll take it.”“This evening?”“Yes, this evening,” Fogg answered.“Today is October 2nd. I’ll be back on December 21st at a quarter to nine. And now, let’s play a game of cards. Begin please, Mr. Stuart.”Task 4【答案】【原文】Happy Holidays are offering some good holiday bargains this year. How about an adventure holiday in Wales, for example? It costs￡115 per person for a week’s holiday. For this price you get good food — three meals a day—and you sleep in mountain farmhouses. You must also pay for your journey to Wales, of course. If you and your family like sport, fresh air, and a healthy life, this would be a good holiday for you.Perhaps you would rather relax and lie in the sun all day. Then why don’t you go to sunnySpain? How about the Costa del Sol? Happy Holidays can take you there quite cheaply. It costs ￡250 for ten nights in a luxury hotel. This price includes the cost of the journey from London to Spain — by air, of course.If you like fresh air, a healthy life and plenty of sun, too, you could go sailing in Greece. You don’t need to be a good sailor. You can learn while you are on holiday. During the holiday you live on the boat. You must buy your own food, but food in Greece is quite cheap. And the holiday is not very expensive: ￡325 per person for two weeks, including the cost of air travel to and from Greece.Task 5【答案】A.1) F, 2) T, 3) T, 4) FB.1) c, 2) c, 3) b, 4) aC.family, 660, camping, 1499, first-class, swimming pool, night club【原文】Travel Agent: Good morning. Can I help you?Dad: Yes. Good morning. We saw your ad about cheap package trips.Travel Agent: Yes, of course. Well, these are the ones that are left. How many of you… er…?Dad: Just the four. My wife and I, and the two children.Child: Mum, can I sit over there and read my comic?Mum: No, you can’t. You want to help us choose, don’t you?Travel Agent: We’ve just got four family trips left. Er... ranging from ￡660 for this camping holiday on the French Riviera to ￡1,499 for a week in Corfu— that’s a first classhotel with swimming-pool, night club, you know, everything included. So, youknow, something to suit all tastes and pockets.Child: Dad, is it OK if I...?Dad: No, it isn’t. Well, I must say, that last one certainly doesn’t suit my pocket. Do you think you could… tell us what you get for those prices?Travel Agent: Certainly. Well, of course, there’s the flight, and transport to and from the air- po rt…er...accommodation, of course. Otherwise, well, it varies a bit. InCopenhagen all your meals are included, you know, because it’s a guest house,and…er...this chalet in Sardinia, for example, is basically self-catering, but thereare certain activitie s like parties and…excursions, and…er...they’re included in theprice.Dad: That last one sounds very interesting.Mum: What do you mean “interesting”? Who’s going to do all the cooking and cleaning?I must say, I rather like the sound of the guest house.Child: Mum, ...Mum: No!Travel Agent: Well, actually, madam, there are extra catering facilities provided for all our self- catering holidays, should you need them.Child: Dad, ...Dad: Look, do us all a favour and go and sit over there and read your comic, will you? Travel Agent: These are all-inclusive family budget prices —I assure you they represent a substantial reduction on our normal prices. Er... down here you can see your datesfor departure and return — 18th to 25th of July on all trips except Copenhagen,which is two days earlier, and, by the way, extremely good value for money —￡300 off the normal price at￡899.Mum: Oh, really? You know, I’ve heard Copenhagen is such a beautiful city...Dad: Well, I don’t know. This camping one’s obviously out— I mean, it says here that they’ve got a casino and cinema and all that, but it so unds too much like hard workfor me. But what about Sardinia? You know, ￡975 isn’t too expensive.Mum: Mmm... probably nicer for the kids, too —you know, warmer, and beaches and all that. Yes, let’s take it.Travel Agent: You won’t regret it, madam, I c an assure you. Now, I wonder if you’d mind just giving me a few particulars...Mum: Jimmy, what are you doing over there? I told you not to read your comic. Come and have a look at the place we’re going to.Task 6【答案】1) a, 2) b, 3) c, 4) a, 5) b, 6) c【原文】Two people were having dinner in the Waverley restaurant.

He was woken up by the noises made by the people next to him and couldn’t go back to sleep. The pouring rain soaked his tent and he ended up sleeping in his small car. He had all the food stolen. His car was stuck in the mud and he had a flat tire on his way home.【原文】Friend: Hi, Tom. How was your camping trip last weekend?Torn: It was a disaster.Friend: A disaster? What was so bad?Tom: Well, I went camping. But you wouldn’t believe the bad luck I had.Friend: Yeah? What happened?Tom: Well, I went to Pine Hills. I got there Saturday afternoon. And the weather was really nice so I went for a hike.Friend: Yeah?Tom: You know that big forest there?Friend: Mm-hmm.Tom: I got lost. I had absolutely no idea where I was.Friend: Lost? That’s too bad. So wha t happened?Tom: Well, I finally found my way back to the campsite. It was like eight or eight-thirty at night.I was really tired and hungry, so I was going to fix dinner. I’d brought along a nice, juicysteak. I was cooking it over the campfire.Friend: That sounds good.Tom: Well, yeah, so I cooked it. Well, I tried to cook it. I really couldn’t see much, even with a flashlight. I burned the thing. Burned!Friend: Oh, you burned the steak?Tom: To a crisp. I could hardly eat it. But anyway, I really didn’t mind much because I was so tired I just wanted to get some sleep. So I went to bed early. Then, about eleven o’clock, the people next to me turned on some music and started to have a party. I couldn’t get back to sleep.Friend: Oh, you must have been angry.Tom: I was really angry! Finally, I went over and asked them to mm down the music. Then about two in the morning it started to rain. I mean it poured.Friend: Oh no!Tom: Bad enough that there was water in my tent. I had to sleep in the car.Friend: You slept in the car? But you drive that little...Tom: Yeah, I know. Not real comfortable. But that’s not all. I got up in the morning and I found my food was gone.Friend: What happened to it?Tom: Animals, I guess. Foxes or raccoons, probably. I had put the food in the tent, but they got it.So I had no breakfast. By that time I figured the weekend was ruined anyway, so I decided to leave.Friend: Yeah.Tom: But my car was stuck. Man! There was so much rain that I was stuck in the mud. I finally found a ranger to help push me out.Friend: This doesn’t sound like a camping trip to be repeated.Tom: That’s for sure. Oh, and to finish it off, I had a flat tire on the way home.Friend: A flat tire? Gee, I don’t imagine you’re going camping again for a while.T om: Oh, I don’t know. I might go again next weekend.Friend: What?Tom; Hey, nobody could have that kind of bad luck two weeks in a row.Task 8【答案】1) It is beautiful and peaceful. There is food —fish, coconut and wild bananas. There is fresh water, too.2) The civilized life is too complicated. And the traveling also makes Buck sick.3) The weather is bad. The food is dull. The fresh water is not enough. There are too many insects. He has nobody to talk to and no books to read.4) Some matches, some insecticide, some modern tools such as a good axe, a saw, a hammer and some nails and a radio.【原文】February 12thI’ve found it at last! This is the place I’ve been looking for—the island of my dreams! It’s beautiful, and it has everything I need: food, fresh water, and peace. The lagoon is full of fish. There are coconut palms and wild bananas. T here’s a nice little lake among the hills. And no one lives on any of the islands around here.February 14thI’ve decided to stay here. I’m tired of traveling. I get seasick all the time. And I don’t really want to get back to civilization. I want to get away from it all — to get back to nature. I want to live the simple life —the kind of life that Bill’s forefathers used to live, without metal and machines and money. If they could live like that, so can I. I’m sure I’m as clever as they were!February 17thIn a few minutes I’m going to go back to the boat. I’m going to fetch the things that Bill gave me. I’ll bring them back here. I’ll sail the boat out to sea. I’ll point it towards South America. Then I’ll jump off and swim back here. If anyone finds th e boat, they’ll think I fell into the water by accident.February 18thSo here I am —completely alone on my dream island. Now I’ll be able to do what I’ve always wanted to do: to get to know myself. Because I’ve never been really sure who I am. I’ve played too many parts in my life — too many roles in films, and in real life, too. Now I have the chance to discover the real Buck Westwood. All my life he’s been sleeping somewhere deep inside me —dreaming his “great dream”. Now it’s time to wake up, Buck. Be yourself at last!June 2ndThere was another storm today. It rained hard, and the wind blew away part of the roof. Everything in the house got wet. It’s not a very strong house. I’m not very good at building houses out of trees and grass and leaves.There’s nothing to eat except coconuts and raw fish. I’m tired of coconuts, and I can’t cook the fish because the fire’s gone out. I wish I had some dry wood and some matches.June l0thI don’t feel very well. There isn’t enough clean water on this island, and there are too many insects. The house is full of ants and flies. They’re driving me mad! I wish I had something to kill them with!June 15thOh dear! I’ve only been on this island for a few months, but it feels like years already. There’s nobody to talk to, and nothing to read. I wish I could get away from here. But how? I’ve been trying to build a boat, but I need some modern tools. I wish I had a good axe, a saw, a hammer and some nails.June 16thI must send a message for help. But how? That’s the proble m! I wish I had a radio.Task 9【答案】A.1) c → e → a → b → d2) c → a → bB.1) F, 2) T, 3) T, 4) F【原文】Hello! I’m very pleased that you have decided to join one of our next London weekends. My name is Diana and I will be your resident guide during your stay in London. We shall arrive at the hotel at about 6:30 on Friday evening. Remember that we are staying at the Y Hotel in Great Russell Street — that’s on the corner of Tottenham Court Road.Aft er you’ve got to your room and you’ve had a chance to freshen up, I hope you’ll join me for short walk through the West End of London. Leaving the hotel at 7:30 sharp I shall be strolling down Charring Cross Road, turning off through part of Soho to Piccadilly Circus, then through Leicester Square to finish up at Trafalgar Square. On the way w e’ll pass a lot of the restaurants, theatres and cinemas that you’ll be able to visit during your stay in the capital. , The walk should take about half an hour and when we get to Trafalgar square you’ll be free to go off and do whatever you like. Why not have a quick meal and then see one of the latest films in one of the many cinemas around Leicester Square.If you haven’t stayed out too late on Friday night, please join me at 9:30 on Saturday morning for a walk through the great parks of London. We’ll take a short trip on the underground to Lancaster Gate and stroll across Hyde Park to the Famous Serpentine Lake. Don’t forget to bring a piece of toast from breakfast with you to feed the ducks. From there we’ll cross over Hyde Park Corner, one of the busiest traffic intersections in central London, and make our way down Constitution Hill in Green Park to Buckingham Palace. If we can see the royal standard flying on top of the Palace, we’ll know that the queen is at home, but I don’t suppose we shal l see her. From Buckingham Palace, we shall cross into the third Royal Park of St James’s— possibly the most beautiful of all, and we shall arrive at The Horse Guards in plenty of time to see the ceremony of the Changing of the Guard which takes place eve ry morning at 11 o’clock.On Saturday afternoon you might like to visit The Houses of Parliament. Remember they are only open to visitors on Saturdays during Parliamentary sessions. If there is some shopping you have to do, now is the time to visit the Oxford Street stores, or if you feel like relaxing on a boat for a while, you can come with me on a trip down the River Thames to Greenwich. I’ll be at Westminster Pier near the Houses of Parliament at 2 o’clock in the afternoon, so join me then if you’d like to visit the Maritime Museum and the Old Observatory at Greenwich and see some of the great River Thames at the same time.Saturday night is theatre night and we shall have tickets available for either a top musical or a straight play. I’ll give you details on Friday when you arrive and you’ll be able to choose which you want to go to. On Sunday morning you’ll have the opportunity to visit the great street market of London in Petticoat Lane. I’ll be leaving the hotel at 10:30. You can buy anything from a t in whistle to a tiara in Petticoat Lane, so come and join in the fun. I’ll take you to a traditional London pub for lunch afterwards and then it will be time to get back to the hotel, pick up your luggage and begin your journey home.Task 10【答案】I hope I’ve give you a clear idea of the programme for your London weekend and before I finish let me just give you one or two pieces of advice, which should make your stay moreenjoyable. First, please do remember to bring with you some comfortable shoes to wear. London is a big place and whatever you do, you’ll find yourself doing quite a lot of walking, so comfortable shoes are a real necessity. And secondly let me ask you to please look after your money. Keep it safe at all times and then you will avoid an unpleasant accident, which could spoil your whole weekend.。
