Anne’s Best Friend Do you want a friend whom you could tell everything to, like your deepest feelings and thoughts? Or are you afraid that your friend would laugh at you, or would not understand what you are going through? Anne Frank wanted the first kind, so she made her diary her best friend. Anne lived in Amsterdam in the Netherlands during World War Ⅱ. Her family was Jewish so nearly twenty-five months before they were discovered. During that time the only true friend was her diary.
She said, ”I don’t want to set down a series of facts in a diary as most people do, but I want this diary itself to be my friend, and I shall call my friend Kitty.” Now read how she felt after being in the hiding place since July 1942. Thursday 15th June, 1944 Dear Kitty, I wonder if it’s because I haven’t been able to be outdoors for so long that I’ve grown so crazy about everything to do with nature. 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 changed since I 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. Another time 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. The 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 only able to look at 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. Yours, Anne
第一單元 友誼Reading 安妮最好的
朋友 你是不是想有一位無話不談能推心置腹的朋友呢?或者你是不是擔(dān)心你的朋友會嘲笑你,會不理解你目前的困境呢?安妮·弗蘭克想要的是第一種類型的朋友,于是她就把
日記當(dāng)成她最好的朋友。 安妮在第二次世界大戰(zhàn)期間住在荷蘭的阿姆斯特丹。她一家人都是猶太人,所以他們不得不躲藏起來,否則他們就會被德國納粹抓去。她和她的家人躲藏兩年之后才被發(fā)現(xiàn)。在這段時間里,她唯一的忠實朋友就是她的日記。她說,“我不愿像大多數(shù)人那樣在日記中記流水賬。我要把這本日記當(dāng)作我的朋友,我要把我這個朋友稱作基蒂”。安妮自從1942年7月起就躲藏在那兒,現(xiàn)在,來看看她的
心情吧。 親愛的基蒂: 我不知道這是不是因為我長久無法出門的緣故,我變得對一切與大自然有關(guān)的事物都無比狂熱。我記得非常清楚,以前,湛藍(lán)的天空、鳥兒的歌唱、月光和鮮花,從未令我心迷神往過。自從我來到這里,這一切都變。 比方說,有天晚上天氣很暖和,我熬到11點(diǎn)半故意不睡覺,為的是獨(dú)自好好看看月亮。但是因為月光太亮,我不敢打開窗戶。還有一次,就在五個月以前的一個晚上,我碰巧在樓上,窗戶是開著的。我一直等到非關(guān)窗不可的時候才下樓去。漆黑的夜晚,風(fēng)吹雨打,雷電交加,我全然被這種力量鎮(zhèn)住。這是我一年半以來第一次目睹夜晚 令人傷心的是我只能透過臟兮兮的窗簾觀看大自然,窗簾懸掛在沾滿灰塵的窗前,但觀看這些已經(jīng)不再是樂趣,因為大自然是你必須親身體驗的。 Using Language Reading, listening and writing 親愛的王小姐: 我同班上的同學(xué)有件麻煩事。我跟我們班里的一位男同學(xué)一直相處很好,我們常常一起做家庭作業(yè),而且很樂意相互幫助。我們成非常好的朋友。可是,其他同學(xué)卻開始在背后議論起來,他們說我和這位男同學(xué)在談戀愛,這使我很生氣。我不想中斷這段友誼,但是我又討厭人家背后說閑話。我該怎么辦呢? Reading and writing 尊敬的編輯: 我是蘇州高中的一名
學(xué)生。我有一個難題,我不太善于同人們交際。雖然我的確試著去跟班上的同學(xué)交談,但是我還是發(fā)現(xiàn)很難跟他們成為好朋友。因此,有時候我感到十分孤獨(dú)。我確實想改變這種現(xiàn)狀,但是我卻不知道該怎么辦。如果您能給我提些建議,我會非常感激的。

the Road to Modern English At the end of the 16th century, about five to seven million people spoke English. Nearly all of them lived in England. Later in the next century, people from England made voyages to conquer other parts of the world, and because of that, English began to be spoken in many other countries. Today, more people speak English as their first, second or a foreign language than ever before. Native English speakers can understand each other even if they don’t speak the same kind of English. Look at this example: British Betty: Would you like to see my flat? American Amy: Yes. I’d like to come up to you apartment. So why has English changed over time? Actually all languages change and develop when cultures meet and communicate with each other. At fist the English spoken in England between about AD 450 and 1150 was very different from the English spoken today. It was base more on German than the English we speak at present.
Then gradually between about AD 500 and 1150, English became less like German because those who ruled England spoke first Danish and later French. These new settlers enriched the English language and especially its vocabulary. So by the 1600’s Shakespeare was able to make use of a wider vocabulary than ever before. In 1620 some British settlers moved to America. Later in the 18th century some British people were taken to Australia to. English began to be spoken in both countries. Finally by the 19th century the language was settled. At that time two big changes in English spelling happened: first Samuel Johnson wrote his dictionary and later Noah Webster wrote The American Dictionary of the English language. The latter gave a separate identity to American English spelling.
English now is also spoken as a foreign or second language in South Asia. For example, India has a very large number of fluent English speakers because Britain ruled India from 1765 to 1947. During that time English became the language for government and education. English is also spoken in Singapore and Malaysia and countries in Africa such as South Africa. Today the number of people learning English in China is increasing rapidly. In fact, China may have the largest number of English learners. Will Chinese English develop its own identity? Only time will tell.
第二單元 世界上的
英語 Reading 通向現(xiàn)代英語之路 16世紀(jì)末期大約有5百萬到7百萬人說英語,幾乎所有這些人都
生活在英國。后來,在17世紀(jì)英國人開始航海征服世界其它地區(qū)。于是,許多別的國家開始說英語。如今說英語的人比以往任何時候都多,他們有的是作為第一語言來說,有的是作為第二語言或外語。 以英語作為母語的人,即使他們所講的語言不盡相同,也可以互相交流。請看以下例子: 英國人貝蒂:“請到我的公寓(flat)里來看看,好嗎?” 美國人艾米:“好的。我很樂意到你的公寓(apartment)去! 那么,英語在一段時間里為什么會起變化呢?事實上,當(dāng)不同文化互相交流滲透時,所有的語言都會有所發(fā)展,有所變化。首先,在公元450年到1150年間,人們所說的`英語跟今天所說的英語就很不一樣。當(dāng)時的英語更多地是以德語為基礎(chǔ)的,而現(xiàn)代英語不是。然后,漸漸地,大約在公元800年到1150年期間,英語不那么像德語。因為那時的英國的統(tǒng)治者起初講丹麥語后來講法語。這些新的定居者大大豐富英語語言,特別是在詞匯方面。所以到17世紀(jì),莎士比亞所用的詞匯量比以前任何時期都大。在1620年,一些英國人搬遷到美洲定居。后來,到19世紀(jì),有些英國人也被送往澳大利亞,兩個國家的人都開始說英語。 最后,到20世紀(jì),英語才真正定形。那時,英語在拼寫上發(fā)生兩大變化:首先,塞繆爾·約翰遜編寫詞典,后來,諾厄·韋伯斯特編纂《美國英語詞典》,后者體現(xiàn)美國英語拼寫的不同特色。 現(xiàn)在,英語在南亞也被當(dāng)作外語或第二語言來說。比如說,印度擁有眾多講英語很流利的人,這是因為英國于1765年到1947年統(tǒng)治過印度。在那期間,英語成官方語言和教育用語。在新加坡、馬來西亞和非洲其它國家,比如南非,人們也說英語。
目前在中國學(xué)習(xí)英語的人數(shù)正在迅速增長。事實上,中國可能擁有世界上最多的英語學(xué)習(xí)者。中國英語會發(fā)展出自己的特色嗎?這只能由時間來回答。 Using Language 標(biāo)準(zhǔn)英語和方言 什么是標(biāo)準(zhǔn)英語?是在英國、美國、加拿大、澳大利亞、印度、新西蘭所說的英語嗎?信不信由你,(世界上)沒有什么標(biāo)準(zhǔn)英語。許多人認(rèn)為,電視和收音機(jī)里所說的就是標(biāo)準(zhǔn)英語,這是因為在早期的電臺節(jié)目里,人們期望新聞播音員所說的英語是最好的英語。然而,在電視和收音機(jī)里,你也會聽出人們在說話時的差異。 當(dāng)人們用不同于“標(biāo)準(zhǔn)語言”的詞語時,那就叫做方言。美國英語有許多方言,特別是中西部和南部地區(qū)的方言,以及黑人和西班牙人的方言。在美國有些地區(qū),即使是相鄰城鎮(zhèn)的兩個人所說的語言都可能稍有不同。美國英語之所以有這么多的方言是因為美國人是來自世界各地的緣故。 地理位置對方言的產(chǎn)生也有影響。住在美國東部山區(qū)的一些人說著比較古老的英語方言。當(dāng)美國人從一個地方搬到另一個地方時,他們也就把他們的方言隨著帶去。因此,美國東南部山區(qū)的人同美國西北部的人所說的方言就幾乎相同。美國是一個使用多種方言的大國。雖然許多美國人經(jīng)常搬遷,但是他們?nèi)匀荒軌虮鎰e、理解彼此的方言。
Unit3
Journey Down the Mekong My name is Wang Kun. Ever since middle school, my sister Wang Wei and I have dreamed about taking a great bike trip. Two years ago she bought an expensive mountain bike and then she persuaded me to buy one. Last year, she visited our cousins, Dao Wei and Yu Hang at their college if Kunming. They are Dai and grew up in western Yunnan Province near the Lancang River, the Chinese part of the river that is called the Mekong River in other countries. Wang Wei soon got time interested in cycling too. After graduating from college, we finally got the chance to take a bike trip. I asked my sister, “Where are we going?” It was my sister who first had the idea to cycle along the entire Mekong River from where it begins to where it ends. Now she is planning our schedule for the trip. I am fond of my sister but she has one serious shortcoming. She can be really stubborn. Although she didn’t know the best way of getting to places, she insisted that she organize the trip properly. Now I know that the proper way is always her way. I kept asking her, “When are we leaving and when are we coming back?”
I asked her whether she had looked at a map yet. Of course she hadn’t; my sister doesn’t care about details. So I told her that the source of the Mekong is in Qinghai Province. She gave me a determined look -- the kind that said she would not change her mind. When I told her that our journey would begin at an altitude of more than 5,000 meters, she seemed to be excited about it. When I told her the air would be hard to breathe and it would be very cold, she said it would be an interesting experience. I know my sister well. Once she has made up her mind, nothing can change it. Finally, I had to give in. Several months before our trip, Wang Wei and I went to the library. We found a large atlas with good maps that showed details of world geography. From the atlas we could see that the Mekong River begins in a glacier to move quickly. It becomes rapids as it passes through deep valleys, traveling across western Yunnan Province. Sometimes the river becomes a water fall and enters wide valleys. We were both surprised to learn that half of the river is in China. After it leaves China and high altitude, the Mekong becomes wide, brown and warm. As it enters Southeast Asia, its pace slows. It makes wide bends or meanders through low valleys to the plains where rice grows. At last, the river delta enters the South China Sea.

游記Reading 沿湄公河而下的旅程 第一部分夢想與計劃 我的名字叫王坤。從高中起,我姐姐王薇和我就一直夢想作一次偉大的自行車
旅行。兩年前,她買一輛昂貴的山地自行車,然后還說服我買一輛(山地車)。去年她去看望我們的表兄弟——在昆明讀大學(xué)的刀衛(wèi)和宇航。他們是傣族人,在云南省西部靠近瀾滄江的地方長大,湄公河在中國境內(nèi)的這一段叫瀾滄江,在其他國家(境內(nèi))叫湄公河。很快,王薇使表兄弟也對騎車旅游產(chǎn)生興趣。大學(xué)畢業(yè)以后,我們終于有機(jī)會騎自行車旅行。我問我姐姐:“我們要去哪兒?”首先想到要沿湄公河從源頭到終點(diǎn)騎車旅游的是我的姐姐。現(xiàn)在她正在為我們的旅行制定計劃。 我很喜歡我姐姐,但是她有一個很嚴(yán)重的缺點(diǎn)。她有時確實很固執(zhí)。盡管她對去某些地方的最佳路線并不清楚,她卻堅持要自己把這次旅游安排得盡善盡美。于是,我就知道這個盡善盡美的方式總是她的方式。
我不停地問她,“我們什么時候出發(fā)?什么時候回來?”我還問她是否看過地圖。當(dāng)然她并沒有看過——我的姐姐是不會考慮細(xì)節(jié)的。于是,我告訴她,湄公河的源頭在青海省。她給我一個堅定的眼神——這種眼神表明她是不會改變主意的。我說,我們的旅行將從5, 000多米的高地出發(fā),這時她似乎顯得很興奮。當(dāng)我告訴她那里空氣稀薄,呼吸困難,而且天氣很冷時,她卻說這將是一次有趣的經(jīng)歷。我非常解我的姐姐,她一旦下決心,什么也不能使她改變。最后,我只好讓步。 在我們旅行前的幾個月,王薇和我去圖書館。我們找到一本大型地圖冊,里面有一些世界地理的明細(xì)圖。我們從圖上可以看到,湄公河發(fā)源于西藏一座山上的冰川。起初,江面很小,河水清澈而冷冽,然后它開始快速流動。它穿過深谷時就變成急流,流經(jīng)云南西部。有時,這條江形成瀑布,進(jìn)入寬闊的峽谷。我們倆驚奇地發(fā)現(xiàn)這條河有一半是在中國境內(nèi)。當(dāng)流出中國,流出高地之后,湄公河就變寬,變暖,河水也變成黃褐色。而當(dāng)它進(jìn)入東南亞以后,流速減緩,河水蜿蜒緩慢地穿過低谷,流向生長稻谷的平原。最后,湄公河三角洲的各支流流入中國南海。 Using Language 夜晚的西藏山景 第二部分山中一宿 雖然是秋天,但是西藏已經(jīng)開始下雪。我們的腿又沉又冷,感覺就像大冰塊。你看到過雪人騎自行車嗎?我們看上去就像那樣。一路上,一些身著羊毛大衣的
孩子們停下來看著我們。下午晚些時候,我們發(fā)現(xiàn)由于天冷我們的水壺都凍上。然而,湖水在落日的余暉下閃亮如鏡,景色迷人。像往常一樣,王薇在我的前面,她很可靠,我知道我用不著給她鼓勁兒。上山很艱難,但是當(dāng)我們環(huán)顧四周,(眼前的)景色讓我們感到驚奇,我們似乎能看到幾百里以外的地方。在某個時刻,我們發(fā)現(xiàn)自己置身高處,彷佛騎車穿越云層。然后我們開始下山,這非常有趣,特別是天氣逐漸變得暖和多。在山谷里,五彩斑斕的蝴蝶翩翩飛舞在我們身旁,我們還看到牦牛和羊群在吃草。這時,我們不得不把帽子、外衣、手套和長褲脫掉,換成T恤衫和短褲。 一到傍晚,我們通常就停下來宿營,(于是),我們先把帳篷支起來,然后吃飯。晚飯后,王薇把頭放在枕頭上就睡覺,而我卻醒著。半夜里,天空變得清朗,星星更亮。(夜晚)非常安靜——幾乎沒有風(fēng),只有篝火的火焰和我們做伴。當(dāng)我躺在星空下,我想著我們已經(jīng)走多遠(yuǎn)。 我們很快就要到達(dá)云南的大理。在那里,我們的表兄弟刀衛(wèi)和宇航將加入我們的行列。我們迫不及待地想要見到他們!
