新概念第三册单词：lesson 44 Speed and comfort Lesson 44：Speed and comfort 又快捷又舒适Listen to the tape then answer the question below.听录音，然后回答以下问题。
Which type of transport does the writer prefer, do you think?People travelling long distances frequently have to decide whether they would prefer to go by land, sea, or air. Hardly anyone can positively enjoy sitting in a train for more than a few hours. Train compartments soon get cramped and stuffy. It is almost impossible to take your mind off the journey. Reading is only a partial solution, for the monotonous rhythm of the wheels clicking on the rails soon lulls you to sleep. During the day, sleep comes in snatches. At night, when you really wish to go to sleep, you rarely manage to do so. If you are lucky enough to get a sleeper, you spend half the night staring at the small blue light in the ceiling, or fumbling to find your ticket for inspection. Inevitably you arrive at your destination almost exhausted. Long car journeys are even less pleasant, for it is quite impossible even to read. On motorways you can, at least, travel fairly safely at high speeds, but more often than not, the greater part of the journey is spent on roads with few service stations and too much traffic. By comparison, ferry trips or cruises offer a great variety of civilized comforts. You can stretch your legs on the spacious decks, play games, meet interesting people and enjoy good food -- always assuming, of course, that the sea is calm. If it is not, andyou are likely to get seasick, no form of transport could be worse. Even if you travel in ideal weather, sea journeys take a long time. Relatively few people are prepared to sacrifice holiday time for the pleasure of travelling by sea.Aeroplanes have the reputation of being dangerous andeven hardened travellers are intimidated by them. They also have the disadvantage of being an expensive form of transport. But nothing can match them for speed and comfort. Travellingat a height of 30,000 feet, far above the clouds, and at over 500 miles an hour is an exhilarating experience. You do not have to devise ways of taking your mind off the journey, foran aeroplane gets you to your destination rapidly. For a few hours, you settle back in a deep armchair to enjoy the flight. The real escapist can watch a film and sip champagne on some services. But even when such refinements are not available, there is plenty to keep you occupied. An aeroplane offers you an unusual and breathtaking view of the world. You soar effortlessly over high mountains and deep valleys. You really see the shape of the land. If the landscape is hidden from view, you can enjoy the extraordinary sight of unbroken cloud plains that stretch out for miles before you, while the sun shines brilliantly in a clear sky. The journey is so smooth that there is nothing to prevent you from reading or sleeping. However you decide to spend your time, one thing is certain：you will arrive at your destination fresh and uncrumpled. You will not have to spend the next few days recovering from along and arduous journey.New words and expressions 生词与短语positivelyadv. 绝对地，完全地compartmentn. 列车客车厢内的分隔间（或单间）crampedadj. 窄小的stuffyadj. 憋气的，闷气的monotonousadj. 枯燥的，乏味的rhythmn. 有节奏的运动clickv. 发出咔哒声lullv. 催人欲睡snatchn. 短时，片段sleepern. 卧铺fumblev. 乱摸，摸索inspectionn. 检查inevitablyadv. 必然地，不可避免地destinationn. 目的地exhaustv. 使精疲力尽motorwayn. 快车道ferryn. 渡船cruisen. 巡游船civilizev. 使文明spaciousadj. 宽敞的seasickadj. 晕船的intimidatev. 恐吓，恫吓disadvantagen. 短处，缺点exhilaratingadj. 使人高兴的，令人兴奋的escapistn. 逍遥者sipv. 呷，啜champagnen. 香槟洒refinementn. 精心的安排breathtakingadj.激动人心的；不寻常的soarv. 高飞，翱翔effortlesslyadv. 不费力地landscapen. 景色freshadj. 精神饱满的uncrumpledadj. 没有垮下来本文参考译文出远门的人常常需要决定是走旱路、水路，还是坐飞机。

浅谈利用《新概念》第三册提高大学生英语水平
浅谈利用《新概念》第三册提高大学生英语水平作者：庄严苏馨来源：《科技资讯》 2012年第22期庄严苏馨(沈阳医学院外语部辽宁沈阳 110034)摘要:新概念英语是一套经典教材,对于大学生的英语学习也具有指导意义,如何利用这个系列教材应对考试,是值得研究的问题。
关键词:新概念语法写作背诵中图分类号:H31 文献标识码:A 文章编号:1672-3791(2012)08(a)-0182-01《新概念英语》系列教材自出版以来,虽历经30年的修订,始终被学习者奉为经典,历久弥新。
《新概念英语》系列教材共分四册,分别针对不同层次的英语学习爱好者,其中第三册“培养技能”主要适用于有一定英语基础的大学生。
本文试图分析《新概念英语》对大学英语教学的作用及如何利用这一教材提高学生的英语能力。
1 《新概念》教材对大学英语教学的指导意义(1)大学生在应对英语四、六级考试中,最头疼的往往是单词量不够。
许多学生总是抱着厚厚的词汇书背诵,记忆效果却欠佳；即使背会了一些单词,也不能恰如其分地运用到句子中去。
笔者经过多年的新概念教学发现,新概念三课文里所学习的单词都是最常用的词汇,而且与应试联系密切。
比如第一单元和第二单元中主要以四级大纲内的单词为主,而第二单元主要以六级词汇为主。
因此学好新概念三有助于扩大学生的词汇量。
(2)语法知识可谓是英语学习的基石,大学英语四、六级考试中的各种题型都贯穿了对语法的考察。
没有扎实的语法知识,不用说完形填空,翻译等直接与语法有关的题目要丢分,甚至阅读理解中的长句和难句也很难读懂。
新概念三的课文中许多知识点与大学英语四、六级考试具有高度的一致性。
新概念英语的语法体系非常独到,每一个都有自己的核心语法,并且层层递进,不断的巩固提高。
同时,新概念三中的课文主要是以地道的英文长句子组成的,分析好课文中的长句和难句,必然会给学生的阅读理解能力加分。
(3)学习语言的最高境界就是用输出。
四、六级中还有一个重要的项目就是写作,要写出一篇好文章必须要以大量的好文章的输入为前提。

很少有人能够真正喜欢坐几个小时以上的火车。
车厢很快就变得拥挤、闷热，想摆脱开旅途的困扰是很难的。
看书只能解决部分问题。
车轮与铁轨间单调的嘎喳声很快就会送你进入梦乡。
白天是忽睡忽醒，到了夜晚，你真想睡了，却很难入睡。
即使你走运弄到一个卧铺，夜间有一半时间你会盯着车顶那盏小蓝灯而睡不着觉；要不然就为查票摸索你的车票。
一旦抵达目的地，你总是疲惫不堪。
乘汽车作长途旅行则更加不舒服，因为连看书都几乎不可能。
在公路上还好，你至少能以相当快的速度安全地向前行。
但旅行的绝大部分时间都花在路上，而且只有很少的服务设施，交通也很拥挤。
相比之下，坐船旅行或环游能够得到文明世界的各种享受。
你能够在甲板上伸展四肢、做游戏，还能也很见到各种有趣的人，能享用各种美味佳肴——当然，这个切只有在大海风平浪静的情况下才有可能。
如果大海肆虐起来，你就可能晕船，那种难受劲儿是任何一种别的旅行的方式都不会带来的。
即使风平浪静，坐船旅行也要占用很长时间。
没有多少人会为享受坐船旅行的乐趣而牺牲假期的时间。
飞机以危险而著称，连老资格的旅行者也怕飞机。
飞机另一个缺点是昂贵。
但就速度与舒适来说，飞机是无与伦比的。
腾云驾雾，在30，000 英尺高空以500英里的时速旅行，这种经历令人心旷神怡。
你不必想办法去摆脱旅途的困扰，因为飞机会迅速地把你送到目的地。
几小时之内，你躺在扶手椅上，享受着旅途的欢乐。
真正会享受的人还能够在某些航班上看一场电影和喝香槟。
即使没有这些消遣条件，也总是有事可做。
飞机上，你能够观察世界上非同寻常的奇妙的美景。
你毫不费劲地飞越高山幽谷，你确能饱览大地的风貌。
如果这种景色被遮住了，你能够观赏一下体现在你面前的、一望数英里的、连绵持续的云海，同时阳光灿烂，天空清澈明朗。
旅途平稳，丝毫不妨碍你阅读或睡眠。
不管你打算如何消磨时间，有件事是能够肯定的，即当你抵达目的地时，你感到精神焕发，毫无倦意，用不着因为漫长的旅途的辛苦而花几天时间休息来恢复精神。
