Unit 2 Robots 【导读】《海底两万里》是法国科幻小说家儒勒·凡尔纳的代表作之一，是一部出色的悬念小说，叙述了法国生物学者阿龙纳斯教授在海洋深处旅行的故事。阅读下面选取的有关冒险活动的节选，认真体会他们面对海上危险的态度。 Twenty Thousand Leagues Under The Sea (excerpt) Part One Chapter Five For some while the voyage of the Abraham Lincoln was marked by no incident.But one circumstance arose that displayed Ned Land's marvelous skills and showed just how much confidence we could place in him. Off the Falkland Islands on June 30，the frigate came in contact with a fleet of American whalers，and we learned that they hadn't seen the narwhale.But one of them，the captain of the Monroe，knew that Ned Land had shipped aboard the Abraham Lincoln and asked his help in hunting a baleen whale that was in sight.Anxious to see Ned Land at work，Commander Farragut authorized him to make his way aboard the Monroe.And the Canadian had such good luck that with a right-and-left shot，he harpooned not one whale but two，striking the first straight to the heart and catching the other after a few minutes' chase! Assuredly，if the monster ever had to deal with Ned Land's harpoon，I wouldn't bet on the monster. The frigate sailed along the east coast of South America with prodigious speed.By July 3 we were at the entrance to the Strait of Magellan.But Commander Farragut was unwilling to attempt this tortuous passageway and maneuvered instead to double Cape Horn. The crew sided with him unanimously.Indeed，were we likely to encounter the narwhale in such a cramped strait？Many of our sailors swore that the monster couldn't negotiate this passageway simply because “he's too big for it！” Our course was set for the northwest，and the next day our frigate's propeller finally churned the waters of the Pacific. “Open your eyes！Open your eyes！” repea ted the sailors of the Abraham Lincoln. And they opened amazingly wide.Eyes and spyglasses (a bit dazzled，it is true，by the vista of $2，000.00) didn't remain at rest for an instant.Day and night we observed the surface of the ocean，and those with nyctalopic eyes，whose ability to

英美文化概况之英国篇
英美文化概况之英国篇 英国早期人文历史常识 （一） 英国东邻北海，西、北面对大西洋，南面是英吉利海峡（the English Channel），与法国隔海相望。 地理上，这里被称为“不列颠群岛”（British Isles），由大不列颠岛（Great Britain）和爱尔兰岛（Ireland）这两大岛屿，以及其它几百个小岛组成。 大不列颠岛上分布着英格兰、苏格兰和威尔士（England,Scotland and Wales）三个区域，而爱尔兰岛则分成北爱尔兰和爱尔兰共和国（Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland）两块。 政治上，大不列颠和北爱尔兰共同组成联合王国（the United Kingdom），而爱尔兰共和国则是独立于联合王国而存在的独立的国家。我们通常所说的英国，则是指联合王国。 联合王国的首都是伦敦（London）；而爱尔兰共和国的首都是都柏林（Dublin）。 大不列颠岛在政治上被划分成英格兰、苏格兰和威尔士三个区域，其中英格兰面积最大、人口最多，总的来说也最为富裕。因此很多人通常会用“英格兰人”（English）指代“不列颠人”（British），这点当然会引起苏格兰人和威尔士人（Scots and Welsh）的不满。不列颠在大约一百年前曾统治着世界上四分之一的人口和土地，其殖民地遍布全球各大洲。二战之后，随着不列颠国力衰退，各殖民地纷纷独立，不列颠帝国（the British Empire）在1931年起被英联邦所取代。
英联邦（the Commonwealth of Nations）是由英国和已经独立的前英国殖民地或附 属国组成的联合体。英国作为英联邦元首并无政治实权；各国在一定协议上相互进行政治、主要是经济方面的磋商和合作；各成员国也有权利选择退出英联邦。 （二） 英国地势西北高、东南低。其西北地区主要地形是高原；而东部和东南部则主要是低地，他们是整个欧洲平原（the Great European Plain）的组成部分。 英格兰占据了大不列颠南面的最大部分土地，那里地势平缓，多为平原、丘陵和沼泽地。特别是英格兰东部沿海地区，土地肥沃，适于耕种。 苏格兰多为山地、湖泊和岛屿，它拥有三大自然区：北部高地，中部低地以及南部山陵。不列颠最高峰尼维斯峰（Ben Nevis）便座落于此，高1,343米。威尔士亦是多山地区，6%的土地被森林覆盖，大部分村庄以放牧为主。 北爱尔兰北部为多岩石、荒蛮的海岸，曲折蜿蜒。其东北部多为高地，东南部为山区，而中部则是低浅的盆地。 不列颠是个岛屿国家，四面环海，它隔着英吉利海峡与欧洲大陆遥遥相望。位处英法两国之间的英吉利海峡最窄之处被称作多佛海峡（Straits of Dover），仅有33公里宽度。1985年英国政府和法国政府决定在多佛海峡处修建海峡隧道。 总长153公里的隧道于1994年五月竣工通车，使得欧洲公路网得以连成一体，被誉为人类工程史上的一个伟业。 英国河流分布细密。塞文河（the Severn）是英国第一大河流，长338公里，它同西

高中英语Unit3Backtothepast英美文化欣赏教案（含解析）牛津 译林版必修3 【导读】海伦·凯勒，美国著名的盲聋女作家、教育家。她幼时患病，两耳失聪，双目失明。她以一颗不屈不挠的心灵坦然接受生命的挑战，以惊人的毅力面对生活的困难，在黑暗中寻找着人生的光明，然后又把生命的全部奉献给残疾人慈善事业。 The Story of My Life (Excerpt) In October，1896，I entered the Cambridge School for Young Ladies，to be prepared for Radcliffe. When I was a little girl，I visited Wellesley and surprised my friends by the announcement，“Some day I shall go to college —but I shall go to Harvard！”When asked why I would not go to Wellesley，I replied that there were only girls there.The thought of going to college took root in my heart and became an earnest desire，which impelled me to enter into competition for a degree with seeing and hearing girls，in the face of the strong opposition of many true and wise friends.When I left New York the idea had become a fixed purpose；and it was decided that I should go to Cambridge.This was the nearest approach I could get to Harvard and to the fulfillment of my childish declaration. At the Cambridge School the plan was to have Miss Sullivan attend the classes with me and interpret to me the instruction given. Of course my instructors had no experience in teaching any but normal pupils, and my only means of conversing with them was reading their lips.My studies for the first year were English history, English literature，German，Latin，arithmetic，Latin composition and occasional themes. 我的生活(节选) 1896年10月，我进入剑桥女子学院学习，这也是为迈入拉德克利夫学院做准备。 当我还是个小姑娘的时候，曾去韦尔斯利参观。当时，我的宣言令我的朋友们为之一惊：“将来我也会上大学——但是要上就上哈佛大学！”于是他们问我为什么不选择韦尔斯利学院，而我却回答说那所学院里只有女生。上大学的念头在我心里扎下了根，进而变为一种坚定不移的愿望。可以说，这种愿望激励着我迈入学位争夺战的行列，而我的对手是一些耳目俱全的女孩子。当然，我也要面对身边那些现实而明智的朋友们的强烈反对。在我离开纽约

The school was a large old building with a dusty playground，surrounded by a high brick wall.It looked strangely deserted.I was very surprised to find that none of the boys were there，and was told that they were all on holiday，and that I had been sent there during the holidays as a punishment for my wickedness①.The headmaster and teachers were on holiday too，all except for Mr.Mell，who had to look after me. I spent a whole month in that miserable② place，doing my lessons in the dirty，empty classroom，which smelt of old food and unwashed boys.Every evening I had to eat my supper with Mr.Mell，and then go straight to bed.The worst thing was the sign I had to wear round my neck.It said：BE CAREFUL！HE BITES.I was only allowed to take it off when I went to bed. Although I was extremely lonely and unhappy at this time，I was not looking forward to meeting all the other boys.I felt sure they would laugh at me and especially at the sign I was forced to wear.But one day Mr.Mell told me that the headmaster，Mr.Creakle，had returned，and wanted to see me.So I went，trembling③，to his part of the house. I realized at once that Mr.Creakle lived much more comfortably than the boys or the teachers.He was a small，fat man with a purple nose，who was sitting in an armchair with a bottle of wine and a glass in front of him. “So，this is the boy who bites，is it？”he asked unpleasantly.“I know your stepfather，boy.He's a man of strong character，he is.He knows me，and I know him.Do you know me？Answer me，boy！”He pulled violently④ at my ear. “Not yet，sir，”I answered，tears of pain in my eyes. “Ah，but you soon will！Oh yes，I have a strong character too，you'll see！”He banged⑤ his hand hard on the table. I was very frightened，but I made myself ask the question I had been considering for a whole month.“Please，sir，I'm very sorry for what I did to Mr.Murdstone.Could

【导读】《绿野仙踪》又名《OZ国经典童话》，是美国著名作家弗兰克·鲍姆（Frank Baum）在１900—１9２0年期间陆续创作发表的奇幻冒险童话故事集，有“美国的《西游记》”之称。阅读下面选取的有关灾难来临的节选，对比中外文化中面临灾难时态度的异同。 The Wonderful Wizard of OZ （excerpt） The cyclone Dorothy lived in the midst of the great Kansas prairies，with Uncle Henry，who was a farmer，and Aunt Em，who was the farmer's wife.Their house was small，for the lumber to build it had to be carried by wagon many miles.There were four walls，a floor and a roof，which made one room；and this room contained a rusty-looking cookstove，a cupboard for the dishes，a table，three or four chairs，and two beds.Uncle Henry and Aunt Em had a big bed in one corner，and Dorothy had a little bed in another corner.There was no garret at all，and no cellar—except a small hole dug in the ground，called a cyclone cellar，where the family could go in case one of those great whirlwinds arose，mighty enough to crush any building in its path.It was reached by a trap door in the middle of the floor，from which a ladder led down into the small，dark hole. When Dorothy stood in the doorway and looked around，she could see nothing but the great gray prairie on every side.Not a tree nor a house broke the broad sweep of flat country that reached to the edge of the sky in all directions.The sun had baked the plowed land into a gray mass，with little cracks running through it.Even the grass was not green，for the sun had burned the tops of the long blades until they were the same gray color to be seen everywhere.Once the house had been painted，but the sun blistered the paint and the rains washed it away，and now the house was as dull and gray as everything else. When Aunt Em came there to live she was a young，pretty wife.The sun and wind had changed her，too.They had taken the sparkle from her eyes and left them a sober gray；they had taken the red from her cheeks and lips，and they were gray also.She was thin and gaunt，and never smiled now.When Dorothy，who was an orphan，first came to her，Aunt Em had been so startled by the child's laughter that she would scream and press her hand upon her heart
