旅游丨BALI，一個不吝嗇陽光、大海、笑容和贊美的地方

巴厘島一度被形容為“一流的酒店，二流的景點，三流的海灘?！蔽曳浅Ｙ澩屠逡涣鞯木频辏瑫r巴厘的海灘在我心中也是一流的。任何的風景不親眼見一回，永遠不知道它的真實面貌。
這是我這趟旅游最愛的一幅照片~在藍夢島玻璃一般的海底的景象~巴厘島一流的酒店確實是毋庸置疑的，不僅僅是環境和設施的一流，酒店給我留下的最深的印象就是那里員工們的熱情和貼心。
或許他們之中多多少少帶有一些小目的和一些私心，但世界就是這樣，你讓我最舒心，作為游客的我就心甘情愿為你的服務買單。在巴厘，仿佛世界對你全無惡意，你要做的就是放松、享受、放下所有的計較就夠了。
們沒有特意去安排行程，就把酒店和機票和船票定好就出發了。這次巴厘島之行我們沒有去任何一個景點，就是開著小摩托到處逛到處玩到處吃，體驗到了一流的酒店，同時也發現了一流的海景。
再來一張一起游玩的合照~在我看來，巴厘島的旅游風格大致可以分為兩類：
第一類是休閑度假住酒店型。比如那些度蜜月拍婚紗照或是舉行婚禮的游客，比較適合去努薩杜瓦和金巴蘭地區。那里有非常高檔的五星級酒店，房建豪華干凈衛生，最主要是沒有太多蚊蟲，設施也比較完善，當然價格也會比較高。還有一個選擇是去水明漾地區，那里有非常多的花園泳池獨棟別墅酒店，性價比很好，也非常適合度蜜月。
第二類是吃喝玩樂型，就是那總呆在酒店的時間少，大部分時間會往外跑的人，我就屬于那一類。推薦去巴厘島旁邊的藍夢島，那里的人比較少，海水比較干凈，住宿特別特別便宜。也許是因為藍夢島上的酒店規模都比較小，所以感覺特別溫馨，酒店的伙計也特別熱情。
這是一張網上借來的巴厘島的地圖，能簡單但是直觀了解巴厘島地區的大致位置。

這次旅游我們只去了巴厘島南部地區（努沙杜瓦、金巴蘭、庫塔、水明漾）和藍夢島。而中部的烏布和圖蘭奔等地方沒有被我們安排在行程內。由于我們只有一天的時間，不想走馬觀花地玩，這樣既不能好好領略巴厘的風景和人文，也無法體驗真正意義上的度假勝地帶給我們的愉悅。所以我們吧烏布和圖蘭奔留下了，留下了一個遺憾和期盼，是為將來再次去巴厘留下一個充分的理由。

DAY 1.

1號上午9點多，我們順利抵達巴厘島，踏出機場的那一刻就感受到一股熱帶度假氣息。巴厘島的熱和國內的熱區別很大，國內的熱是讓你汗流浹背，全身黏糊糊的，恨不得立刻沖個冷水澡，而巴厘島的陽光雖然很猛，但是一直有涼涼的海風吹過，因此空氣并不悶熱，十分舒適。當我透過墨鏡濾掉刺眼的光線觀看巴厘島，只用身體來感受巴厘島的氣候時，我甚至忘記了我來到擁有毒辣太陽的熱帶城市，只感受到涼爽的微風和著溫暖的空氣熱情地擁抱我，歡迎我們的到來。

在巴厘島的第一餐我們就吃了這個綜合海鮮飯套餐~味道不錯，大概也就80rmb左右。

這就是我們定的快艇，游客們都在陰涼處等著，快艇公司的伙計們就這么來來回回地幫游客搬行李上船，特別實在。

登上快艇抵達藍夢島的第一感覺就是感嘆，水這么可以這么清澈！真的如玻璃一般透明！海面上波光閃耀，讓海底的一切顯得更加璀璨迷人。二此刻的我就扒在快艇的窗口，嚷嚷著：我好想立刻跳下去！我好想立刻噗通一聲跳下去！

藍夢島上的酒店都特別便宜，我們選了一家在mushroom beach附近的一家叫The Well House的小酒店。選它是因為在BOOKING上的評分比較高，這是一家精致的小酒店，一共也就六七間房。下午一到酒店，店主就熱情地叫出了我的名字，并送上welcome juice，然后詳細介紹了島上的一些娛樂和景點。我們當下就預定了第二天上午的浮潛并租了摩托車。

下午四點左右我們就騎著可愛的小摩托到處游玩了~清涼的風打在臉上真的太舒服了。

Dream Beach

來Dream Beach一路上都有指示牌，這據說是藍夢島上最美的海灘。Dream Beach是一個很小的海灣，浪很大，海很藍，但不適合游泳。越是靠近海里，沙灘上的石子就越是粗糙，在淺海里的沙灘更是鋪滿了粗糙鋒利的小石頭，人走進前海里立刻感覺腳底鉻得慌，偶爾一陣大浪打來，卷起的事子會直接打擊在我的小腿和腳面上，那叫一個痛啊。

但或許就是因為這么粗狂的海灘，才塑造出這么美的海水。正是因為前海的沙灘是石頭而不是沙粒，打起來的浪花才不會渾濁，也正是因為石頭的鋒利，才阻止了人類大批地入侵。大自然用自己的力量保了Dream Beach的美好。

潑猴！快下來！回去吃飯了！

晚餐我們尋找香味選了這家餐廳，饑腸轆轆的我們坐下來拿起菜牌就一陣狂點。旁邊給我們下單的店家驚得瞪大了眼睛，反復確認地問，你們四個人點了七人份的食物真的可以嗎，真的沒問題嗎？

哼哼，太小看中國的吃貨了！照了幾張，有幾道菜哄搶完了才記起還沒拍照。食物美味可口，我們點的都是巴厘島當地特色的菜，算下來四個人吃到撐死也就三百塊錢不到。

西雅圖的小白船，在用樂聲發光

小白船的粉黛色晚霞 （毛豆子供圖/圖）

1

在撥通和Jordan的Zoom視屏電話之前，我再次打開他從2020年3月24日開始幾乎每日更新的Instagram賬號, 每天會有一個西雅圖音樂人在他一艘名叫“Clarabelle ”的五米出頭的小白船上進行演出。這一天是一個叫Kim的西北太平洋芭蕾舞團的小提琴手，她坐在小白船上演奏了一支曲風輕快的美國經典提琴曲《士兵的歡樂》，她的搭檔、木匠Alec 則坐在岸邊的草叢里為她配上曼陀林。這是西雅圖一年五十多個晴朗天里的一個，恍惚間，你有一種天高水藍，世事既往的錯覺。

Jordan加入了我的Zoom會議室，他在個人網站www.jordanhanssen.com 顯示的身份是冒險者、作家。他為自己的會議室設置的背景是陰沉不定的普吉特海灣，這是西雅圖西岸的峽灣， 我回到了冷峻陰沉的2020年的七月現實之中。

Jordan 的頸脖上依然掛著錨狀的銀綴飾，系著藍色的漁夫圍巾，這是他作為水手的裝飾。他和我對話時，說到興起時，人會輕微地搖晃起來，這給了我那種他依然在櫓槳而行的錯覺。Jordan乍一看好像是個飽經風霜的大叔，事實上他今年只有37歲，額頭上偶然還可以找到青春痘，他梳著西雅圖體力工作者喜歡扎的馬尾辮，留著濃密的絡腮胡。他的形貌和三年前相比，沒有明顯變化，只是這次把馬尾辮放下來后，都可以披肩了，大家都已經很久沒有理發了。

我和Jordan上次見面是在2017年的西雅圖，他用“Clarabelle ”小白船帶我搖槳暢游了普吉特灣。2006年，Jordan曾完全憑借人力劃艇橫穿大西洋，花了71天，3小時，22分鐘，35秒，創下吉尼斯紀錄，這是第一個劃艇從西到東穿越大西洋從美國陸地到英國陸地的海洋四人組， 他一直和他的三個隊友在這個海灣訓練。

Jordan和三個隊友的無動力橫越大西洋探險之旅 （毛豆子供圖/圖）

我至今清晰地記得見面前Jordan言簡意賅卻令我激動不已的短訊：“5月4日早晨六點半見，我將帶你領略我的西北太平洋”。時隔三年，我們周圍的世界已經發生了天翻地覆的變化，甚至讓我們得以見面的“愛彼迎體驗”（Airbnb Experience）也已經暫停，它現在只提供一些在線體驗。

2

2017年，當我在計劃西雅圖之行時，本來并沒有特別的期待，西雅圖就是西雅圖，我似乎對美國城市已經有些倦怠，直到看到“愛彼迎”app上一個名為“Rowing Urban Waterways”的體驗時，我眼前一亮， 我被主人搭配的照片所打動：在粉黛色的晚霞中，一艘質樸的玻璃鋼小船漂流在一條未名的水路上，船上有兩個背對我們的人，雖然看不到他們的表情，但是我可以猜想此刻他們所面對的巨大的沉靜。

西雅圖的城市水路是大多數去西雅圖的游客未曾有機會探索的，而這個體驗的主人的簡介讓我更對西雅圖充滿向往，Jordan寫道：“我曾經二度搖槳穿越大西洋，其中一次，我獲得了吉尼斯紀錄，而另一次，我則在百慕大三角洲翻船。”

Jordan和他那艘橫穿大西洋的劃艇。在兩個多月的漂流中，他們保持兩個人劃船，兩個人休息的節奏。艇上用來睡覺的艙房長2米，寬1米，高0.5米，卻令Jordan迷戀不已，好像嬰兒回到了母親的子宮。 （毛豆子供圖/圖）

當終于在Jordan的西北太平洋見到這個西雅圖人時，我首先注意到他兩個小臂上的紋身，右臂上的希臘字母是“21位槳手”的意思，來自于《奧德賽》中的古希臘女神雅典娜給奧德修斯的兒子忒勒瑪科斯的勸誡：“讓船載上21位最佳槳手，出海探尋你久未有聲息的父親的消息?！?/p>

這是Jordan 在第一次大西洋遠航途中， 當時的女友捎給他的訊息，他通過衛星通訊設備得到了古希臘女神的勸喻。Jordan感到自己和這個年輕的古希臘英雄有某種惺惺相惜感：自己父親當時也從生活中消失了20年。他如此喜歡這句話，以至于后來把這句話列為自己寫的那本關于遠征大西洋的自傳作品《Rowing into the Son》的書首獻詞，因為這句話恰如其分地概括了那次遠行和父親的關系：Jordan的父親在他三歲時猝然病逝，從小缺失生父的他總在尋找和這個熟悉的陌生人之間的聯系，他覺得這樣的一次在蒼茫未知大海中的奧德賽般的史詩旅行，也許是一種抵達在遙遠星辰里生活許久的父親的方式，他就好像那個同樣急于尋找父親消息的忒勒瑪科斯。他還征得了隊友的同意，將船以父親的名字命名：James Robert Hanssen。

而左臂上的那個紋身則將波提切利的維納斯變身為美人魚。在Jordan的第一次跨大西洋遠行時，他的頭發很長，發梢常常會飄拂在小臂上，在每兩小時輪班，24小時連軸轉的枯燥劃槳運動時，他被在小臂上紋一條美人魚的想法所激動了，因為每次伸展小臂時，美人魚的尾巴就好像被頭發絲撓得癢癢而抖動，這個場面實在太傻太好玩了，于是他在從塞內加爾到邁阿密那次未成功的第二次跨大西洋航海回來后，就去紋上了她。“而且，維納斯是希臘愛神阿佛洛狄忒的羅馬名字”，他補充道。

冒險家作家 Jordan在搖槳。圖中可以看到他雙手上的紋身。 （毛豆子供圖/圖）

Jordan并不避諱提及他的第二次橫貫大西洋之旅，那是一次失敗的嘗試。在第一次橫貫大西洋后的的7年，也就是2013年，他又招募了三個新隊友進行了第二次探險，這次是從西非塞內加爾到邁阿密。可惜，劃艇在離開目的地邁阿密還有800英里左右的波多黎各附近翻船了，然后發生了24小時海岸警衛隊的營救活動 ，事件詳情被NBC拍攝的名為《翻船》（Capsized)的短紀錄片里有所記載。他原本希望創造一項新的吉尼斯世界紀錄的夢想破滅了。

這是第二次跨大西洋不幸翻船后被營救后的照片，照片來自NBC紀錄片《Capsized》，圖中須發最長的就是Jordan。 （毛豆子供圖/圖）

回到陸地平靜生活后的Jordan是西雅圖最早一批“愛彼迎體驗”的主人，他熱愛劃船，渴望人際交流，當然也喜歡可以有額外收入支持他的另一項注入激情的愛好：小說創作，于是，這個帶客人蕩舟探索西雅圖水路的獨特經歷誕生了。這艘小白船并非他航向大西洋那艘，但它也已經有在密西西比河上漂流了8000公里的記錄。

名為Clarabelle的長5.2米的小白船 （毛豆子供圖/圖）

Jordan曾在母校普吉特海灣大學（University of Puget Sound）教授一門名為“探險管理”的課程，和商學院教授一起教課，課程里還包括帶學生到密西西比河漂流。這個在新墨西哥州靠近墨西哥邊界小城長大的少年，兒時總以為自己長大后會接管外祖父的秤廠， 他從小就在那個制造秤的工廠長大。直到17歲，家里決定把廠賣掉，他突然不知道自己長大該干什么了。他現在慶幸自己終于找到了喜歡做的事情，那就是：劃船，旅行和寫作，并把三者完美地結合了起來。

“Clarabelle"在Wallingford的船碼頭耐心地等待著我們，出發時天氣晴好，水在閃閃放光，Jordan準備得非常充分，除了各種小食，還有雨傘和雨衣，當然還得有音樂。

離開了充滿游艇的大湖區，就在我們進入了猶如亞馬遜一樣的華盛頓公園植物園的水域時，西雅圖變天了，開始下起了瓢潑大雨，耳邊的雷聲好像來自遠方的鼓聲。我們在一座小橋下躲雨，閃電就在船長身后不遠處炸開，Jordan瞇縫起眼睛，張望著天際，這也許讓他想起他的第一次穿越大西洋遠航，在第十七天時遇到的那場熱帶暴雨，同樣也雷電交加，他說看到閃電，胡子好像也在打卷。也就在那天，負責計算采購食物的隊友告訴他，“對不起，好像我算錯了，我們吃的東西不夠了！”那天爆發了他們遠征后的最大的爭吵，其他三個隊友無法理解他怎么會犯這樣的烏龍錯誤。最后大家只能一起節食，在抵達英國時，四個人一共輕了70磅。他也在船上度過了自己的24歲生日，生日蛋糕是船上能找到的最后一片舊面包，他在上面抹上了用番茄醬、奶油奶酪和一包砂糖混合而成的奶油，最后還不忘記插上一根火柴當作生日蠟燭。

我問Jordan, “在海上漂流的漫漫日子里有沒有哭過？”他不假思索地回答：“當然！哭過很多次?！彼麖乃固估仄坷锏沽艘槐Х?，喝了一口，接著說，“因為疲勞，因為憤怒，因為諒解，因為情感上的撞擊，你知道這艘船是用我父親的名字命名的。我是一個感情充沛的人， 你在重復地劃槳活動中，會去想很多東西，你會想那些你愛和愛你的人，你會想你曾做過的那些善事，你會花很多時間思考，因為你有的是時間，然后你就難免熱烈盈眶?！?/p>

自2017年我們的那些水路巡游后，自由職業的Jordan嘗試了不同的工作。 2018年，Jordan北上阿拉斯加，在三文魚捕魚船上工作了七周，這是出名的用苦力賺快錢的地方，為了支持他正在進行中的三部曲小說創作，他需要尋找各種財路，那種無需朝九晚五但可以一下子賺足支撐一年日常生活的收入。Jordan左手拿到捕魚船上賺到的辛苦錢，右手就買了前往意大利的機票，他在西西里的愛奧尼亞海上的離島上度過了兩個月的寫作假期；然后回到西北太平洋，每天劃船帶“愛彼迎”的客人暢游水路。他在寫作，旅行，劃船和謀生匯流成的湍急水路中奮力搖槳而行，他從漂流的魯濱遜變成了身份在水手和作家之間急劇搖擺的海明威，撒出一張用現實主義和浪漫主義兩股線繩編織成的漁網。

為了不去阿拉斯加捕魚，十個月前，Jordan開始嘗試成為房地產經紀人，西雅圖近年來火熱的房產市場讓經紀人成為一個可能在寬松工作時間下取得豐厚收入的職業。他花了十個月時間考取了房地產執照，進入一家資質不錯的房地產公司，他的新工作差不多和新冠病毒同時在西雅圖開始，不過就在病毒還未肆虐時，他就迅速厭倦了這份工作，他對我重復著這句話：“我實在愛不起來這份工作?！比绻緛硭€期待房地產經紀會給他帶來和人打交道的機會，新冠病毒剝奪了這份工作可能帶來的最后樂趣，他的房地產經紀人夢愉快地破滅了。好像一直在盼望著這一刻似的，他如釋重負，“我可以重拾起停頓了一年的小說創作，我決定一心一意做一個職業寫作者了。”

Jordan 喜歡冒險愛情小說，這也是他近年來沉浸其中的事業，就好像他的前半生沉迷于極限航海，35歲后的他更鐘意在文字的海洋中體會驚心動魄的掌控感， 他喜歡寫作和喜歡劃船一樣，因為它們都涉及到迷人的技巧，持久的恒心和千變萬化的可能。如果“愛彼迎體驗”仍然無法復蘇，他可以再次北上阿拉斯加，三文魚漁船的老船長和他34英尺長的漁船，總在渾濁的布里斯托海灣等他。

5

在疫情爆發之前，Jordan在“愛彼迎體驗”上掛牌的“Rowing Urban Waterways”生意興隆，他有188個 游客評論，評分高達4.99（滿分5分）。這三個小時的西雅圖水路探險收費125美元，曾經為Jordan提供了不錯的收入，而他本來也熱愛劃船和進行人際接觸，每周三四次這樣的帶著來自世界各地的游客領略西雅圖完美地平衡了他的生計和愛好， 他甚至還在小白船上目睹了一場在法學院念書的未來律師和他鋼琴師的華裔女友間的求婚戲劇。

如同西雅圖水域在風平浪靜后必然會風起云涌，新冠病毒也在美國西北角卷起了風暴。他的最后一個客人是在二月底。然后一切歸零。 “愛彼迎”網頁上依然顯示西雅圖的“愛彼迎體驗”目前暫停至7月31日。

而Jordan最終并沒有讓他的小白船閑置，一個非常偶然的機會，他發現了一個用小白船來撫慰不安的人心的途徑。那是2月的一個周五，當時Jordan尚不知曉，再過10天，西雅圖就會下”居家抗疫”令，但整個城市已有山雨欲來的氣息，熟悉海事氣象的他有種對完美風暴即將襲來的精準預感。他和室友前去劃船，一個老人在自己的小船上吹起了薩克斯風，而那天他恰巧也在社交媒體上看到了被禁足在家的意大利人在陽臺上辦起的街坊音樂會，他因此有了靈光一現的念頭：為何不把小白船"Clarebelle"作為舞臺，把聯合湖作為劇場，請來當地樂手在船上表演，每天上傳一首歌到社交媒體？他把這個計劃命名為“Little Boat Session"，也就是“小船時段”, 當世人無法親自踏足他的西北太平洋，他讓西北太平洋之聲抵達你的內心。

他立刻向自己認識的音樂人發出了邀約，可是兩天過后，他只收到了四首歌，Jordan有些氣餒。可是周一醒來，突然，他發現有12個樂手向他報名，"Clarebelle"準備引吭高歌！第一季的最后一首歌錄制完畢，華盛頓州的“居家避疫令”開始生效。在接下去的60天，我們每天都有一首來自遙遠小白船上的歌撫慰心靈，不管那天聯合湖上是風平浪靜還是陰霾密布。

現在，“小船時段”進入了第二季。小小"Clarebelle"成為了一個潘多拉音樂魔盒，它釋放出長笛手Sarah帶來的“蝴蝶”翩躚的歡快，劇場從業人員Tom從揚琴上彈撥的不知名愛爾蘭民歌的鄉愁， 還有失業的自由撰稿人Bo借助尤克里里琴帶來的“晴朗下午”，而每一支曲子都有同一首循環往復回旋著的副歌：

“Row, row, row your boat

Gently down the stream

Merrily merrily, merrily, merrily

Life is but a dream”

今年八月，Jordan即將進行新冠疫情以來的第一次旅行，他將和另兩位朋友駕駛一艘古典的帆船從夏威夷航行到西雅圖，這將是一場預計七周的海事旅行，船主正是他在“小船時段”里遇到的一位樂手。他的生活航線總是由水來推動的，這次也毫不例外。

這也是Jordan在2013年在百慕大翻船后第一次回到深海的懷抱，提起即將發生的旅行，我從他的面部表情中捕捉到了類似打水漂時會掀起的層層浪。這是一個幸運的冒險者，憑借想象和雙臂，即使在世界交通處于半停擺狀態，他依然可以去到這個世界上任何一個大洲或者一片島嶼，只要給予他足夠的時間。

2006年6月10日的早晨，在瓦格納的《女武神的騎行》樂曲中，Jordan和親友揮別，和三個隊友一起，義無反顧地將劃艇劃離曼哈頓的自由登陸碼頭；而2020年8月的某天早晨，他也許會和他的航行伙伴唱起那首在“小船時段”上哼唱過的“Off the Sea Once More"，在瘟疫蔓延時，揚起振奮人心的酒紅色的風帆，和深海展開一場漫長的重逢。

初中英語知識點巧記口訣

這里搜集、組編了以下語法口訣，希望對即將參加中考的同學們有所幫助。

一、冠詞基本用法

1.冠詞速記口訣

名詞是禿子，常要戴帽子，可數名詞單，須用a或an。

輔音前用a，an在元音前，不見原因（元音），別施恩（n）。

若為特指時，則須用定冠，復數不可數，泛指the不見碰到代詞時，冠詞均不現。

2.定冠詞the的用法記憶口訣

特指、重提和唯一，島嶼、海峽和海灣；

海洋、黨派、最高級，沙漠、河流與群山；

方位、順序和樂器，年代、團體與機關；

船名、建筑和組織，會議、條約與報刊；

姓氏復數、國全名，記住定冠the加在前。

3.零冠詞用法口訣

月份、星期、節假洲，呼語、頭銜職務前；

三餐、球類、慣用語，學科、棋類名詞前。

二、名詞基本用法

1.名詞單數變復數規則速記口訣

　　單數變復數，規則要記住，

　　一般加s，特殊有幾處：

　　/s/結尾，es不離后，

　　末尾字母o，大多加s，

　　兩人有兩菜，es不離口，

　　詞尾f、fe，s前有v和e；

　　沒有規則詞，必須單獨記。

【妙語詮釋】①大部分單數可數名詞變為復數要加s，但單詞如果以ch，sh，s，x等結尾，則一般加es；

②以o結尾的單詞除了兩人(negro，hero)兩菜(tomato，potato)加es外，其余一般加s；“黑人英雄愛吃西紅柿和馬嶺薯”

③以f或fe結尾的單詞一般是把f，fe變為ve再加s；妻子(wife)持刀(knife)去宰狼(wolf)， 小偷(thief)嚇得發了慌； 躲在架(shelf)后保己(self)命(life)， 半片(half)樹葉(leaf)遮目光。
④英語中還有些單詞沒有規則，需要特殊記憶，“小孩男人和女人，老鼠公牛鹿和羊，一排牙齒兩只腳”。如child—children，man—men，woman—women，mouse—mice，ox—oxen，deer—deer，sheep—sheep， tooth—teeth，foot—feet。

5.在記憶表“某國人”的名詞的單復數是否加“S”時，我們可記住這一句話：中日不變，英法e來把a換，其他“s”加后邊。即Chinese，Japanese單復數同形；Englishman，Frenchman的復數為Englishmen，Frenchmen；其他像German，American，Australian等直接在單詞后面加s，如Germans。

6.名詞單數變成復數后一些讀音也有了變化，可以讀[s]也可讀[z]。我們可以借助“清對清，濁對濁，元音跟著濁。（清輔音后加的讀清輔音[s]濁輔音后加的讀[z]）

2.名詞所有格用法

　名詞所有格，表物是“誰的”，若為生命詞，加“’s”即可行，詞尾有s，僅把逗號擇；

　　并列名詞后，各自和共有，前者分別加，后者最后加；

　　若為無生命詞，of所有格，前后須倒置，此是硬規則。

三、代詞

1. 代詞速記口訣

I 是 我

You 是你

He she it 他 她 它

I 的復數是個 We

You 的復數還是 You

男他女她動物它，張三李四單個他，他們的復數都是 they。

2.人稱代詞主格、賓格記憶口訣

人稱代詞分主、賓，只有八對要區分；

你（們）、它主、賓同形，其余主、賓要分清。

I是me，you是you，it是it，男他he變成him，女她she變成her，我們we變us，他們they變成them

3.人稱代詞排序口訣

人稱代詞并列觀，注意順序禮貌見；

單數人稱二、三、一，復數人稱一、二、三；

麻煩事情“我”站前，其他人稱沒意見；

兩性并用為三單，男先女后是習慣。

4.形容詞性物主代詞與名詞性物主代詞之間詞形轉換口訣記憶法

一變：my變mine,

二留：his,its不變；

三加尾：其余直接加-S.

5.反身代詞的構成規律記憶口訣

反身代詞有規律，

第三人稱賓格加，

其余開頭用物主，

復數-ves替-f

四、數詞

1.英語基數詞巧記口訣

英語數詞不難記，找出規律很容易；

一至十二詞不同，一個一個單獨記；

后面加teen變十幾，thirteen,fifteen辯仔細；

Eighteen只有一個t,兩個音節辯清晰；

二十至九十后加ty,twenty不同重點記；

Forty去掉字母u,thirty,fifty更出奇；

十位數后個位數，表示數值幾十幾；

按序排列不費力，連字符號莫丟棄。

巧學妙記加努力，hundred是你的好成績。

2.英語分數詞巧記口訣

英語分數不費事，“母序子基”四個字；

分子若是大于一，分母還需加-s.

3.英語序數詞記憶口訣

基變序，有規律；

一、二、三，單獨記；

八去t,九去e,ve要用f替；

整十基數變序數，ty先改tie;

要是遇到兩位數，十位基數個位序，

Th最后加上去。

one—first、 two—second 、 three—third、 four—fourth、 five—fifth
eight—eighth、 nine—ninth、 twelve—twelfth 、twenty—twentieth

4.英語中具體、模糊數的用法口訣

模糊數字有兩有（有-s,有-of）,

具體數字無兩無（無-s，無-of）.

五、介詞

1.時間名詞前所用時間介詞用法口訣

年月周前要用in,日子前面卻不行；

遇到幾號要用on,上午下午又是in;

要說某日上下午，用on換in才能行；

午夜黃昏用-at,黎明、周末用它也不錯；

At用在時刻前，past加， to要減；

多說多練認真學，莫讓歲月空蹉跎。

2.方位介詞用法口訣

Before時空在之前，after之后off遠；

直上over,above斜，under,below下相反；

直到till,on表面，穿過through,for因緣；

By表旁邊in里邊，二者between多among;

Behind后面beside旁，附近near沿著along;

From來自like像，表示目的for,to當；

Of所屬周圍round,向上up向下down.

2.地點介詞用法口訣

On,in,at表地點，in在里面和中間；

on在之上接臨壤，to要隔海才相望；

At表示小地點，入口、車站、影劇院；

Home出現定語、冠，須用in把at換；

夜間、車輛若有限，及在途中on在前。

六、動詞

1.接不定式作賓語的動詞口訣

　　三個希望兩答應，兩個要求莫拒絕；

　　設法學會做決定，不要假裝在選擇。

　　【妙語詮釋】三個希望兩答應：hope，wish，want，agree，promise

　　兩個要求莫拒絕：demand，ask，refuse

　　設法學會做決定：manage，learn，decide

　　不要假裝在選擇：petend，choose

2.接動名詞作賓語的動詞

　　【速記口訣】

　　Mrs. P·Black missed a beef bag。(P·布萊克夫人丟了一個牛肉袋。)

　　【妙語詮釋】該句話中每個字母代表了一個動詞或短語，這些動詞要求后面跟動名詞作賓語。這些動詞分別是：M=mind，r=risk，s=succeedin，P=practice，B=bebusy，l=lookforwardto，a=admit，c=can’thelp，k=keepon，m=miss，i=insiston，s=suggest，s=stop，e=enjoy，d=delay，a=avoid，b=beworth，a=advise，g=giveup。

3.不定式作賓語補足語時省to的動詞

　　【速記口訣】

　　一感，二聽，三讓，四看，半幫助

【妙語詮釋】一感：feel；二聽：hear，listento；三讓：make，let，have；四看：see，Notice，watch，observe；半幫助：help。

4.英語中后面常跟雙賓語的動詞

1). （to）ask, bring, give, lend, hand, mail, offer, pass, pay, return, send, show, teach, tell, throw, write,

2). (for) buy, call, cook, choose, do, draw, find, fetch, get, make, order, play, sing, save

5.常見非延續性動詞與延續性動詞轉換

come——be ; come to——be inat;

close——be closed; open——be open; go out——be out; leave——be away; beginstart——be on; buy—— have; borrow——keep; join——be a member of;

die——be deed; put on——wear; catch a cold——have a cold; get to know——know; become a——be a ; fall asleep——be asleep; go to sleep——sleep.

6.不則動詞過去式記憶口訣

1）.有a則a(aught)不算多,teach,catch就兩個。
無a則o(ought)三四個，bring,buy、think和fight。
catch—caught,teach—taught;bring—brought,buy—bought,think—thought，fight—fought

2.保持原形不變：
必須(must)讓(let)他們放(put)下切(cut)刀來讀(read)書，以免敲打(hit)受傷(hurt)花錢(cost)重安裝（set）。

3.游泳(swim)唱歌(sing)后，開始(begin)坐(sit)下來，給(give)點喝(drink)的吧，電話響（ring）起來，i就變成a。

4.長(grow)大后知道(know)不要亂扔(throw)亂吹(blow)亂畫(draw),ow/aw就會變成ew。

5.動詞中間兩個e，去掉一個后加t；如是t,d來結尾，去e之后不加t。覺得（feel）保持（keep）睡覺（sleep）再掃除（sweep），去e加t需搞清。待會見（meet）喂養（feed）去個e。

6.在陽光照耀（shine）下騎車（ride）開車（drive ）寫字（write），我“I”就變成零“O”。

7.講述(tell),銷售（sell），賣(sell)到老(old),后l變d，e變o。

8.發言(speak)，打破(break)開音節，ea馬上變為o。

9.學會(learn)，做夢(dream)，意思是(mean)，過去反而多個t。

10.吃(eat)了之后頭變尾，聽見(hear)之后多個弟(d)。eat—ate,hear—heard

七、形容詞和副詞

1.修飾名詞的大致詞序排列

(A。)美圓小舊黃，法國木書房。

“美”代表描述性的詞，“圓”代表形狀，“小”代表大小，“舊”代表新舊、年齡，“黃”代表顏色，“法國”代表產地，“木”代表質地，“書”代表名詞性定語說明用途。如：

　　The first beautiful little white Chinese stone bridge。

　　第一座美麗的中國小白石橋。

　　A tall intelligent young Chinese officer。

　　一個聰慧的個子很高的年輕的中國軍官。

2.形容詞和副詞比較等級用法

　　比較級與最高級：兩者比較than相連，三者比較the在前。

　 同級比較：同級比較用原形，as…as永不離；as…as加not，只言兩者是同一，若是not so…as，后強前弱不看齊。

【妙語詮釋】①比較級通常和than連用，而最高級通常跟有定冠詞the；②同級比較一般用as…as表示“與…一樣”，這時誰強誰弱不能比較出來，而not so…as則表示后者比前者強，翻譯為“不如……”。

3.形容詞比較級、最高級不規則形式變換口訣

合二為一有三對，“病壞”“兩多”與“兩好“；

一分為二有兩個，一個“遠”來一個“老”，

還有一個雙含義，只記“少”來別記“小”。

①ill/ bad→worse→worst; many/ much→more→most; good/well→better→best
　?、趂ar→farther/further→farthest/furthest; old→older/elder→oldest/ eldest
　?、踠ittle→less→least

4.形容詞變副詞口訣

形容詞變副詞有規律，后綴-ly加上去

e結尾，要注意，好的越多越好，壞的越少越好

（ “好” “壞”指單詞的含義， “多”指不去e， “少”指去掉e,也就是說，如果單詞的意思是褒義，詞型變換的時候就e不去掉。如果單詞意思是貶義，詞型變換的時候e去掉）如polite(形容詞)----politely（副詞） noise(名詞)---noisy（形容詞） terrible(形容詞)---terribly （副詞）

八、Be的用法

1.be動詞口訣：

I用am,you用are,is跟著他、她、它（He,She,It）；單數形式用is，復數形式全用are

2.be動詞變一般疑問句

一提二改三問號。變否定，更容易，be后not加上去。

“一提”指的是第一步把句中的“be”提到主語前面。

“二改”指的是第二步把位于句首的“ｂｅ”的第一個字母改成大寫字母，主語的原大寫字母改成小寫字母（如主語是專有名詞則不改小寫字母）。

“三問號”就是指第三步在句末加上問號。這種變一般疑問句的方法同樣適用于謂語含有情態動詞的句子。

3.動詞ing，前面必須加上be

九、反意疑問句用法

　　【速記口訣】

　　反意問句三要點，前后謂語正相反；

　　短句not如出現，必須縮寫是習慣；

　　最后一點應注意，短句主語代詞填。

　　【妙語詮釋】①反意疑問句的構成應該是“肯定的陳述句 否定的疑問”或“否定的陳述句 肯定的疑問”；②在短句中not必須與do，will，can等組成縮寫形式；③在簡短問句中，疑問句的主語必須是代詞，而不能用名詞形式。

十、感嘆句用法

　　【速記口訣】

　　感嘆句，并不難，what、how放句前；

　　強調名詞用what，其余用how很簡單。

　　【妙語詮釋】由what引導的感嘆句一般修飾名詞，而how引導的感嘆句一般修飾形容詞、副詞或句子。

十一、過去時

1.過去時的句子變化口訣

過去時，時過去。過去事態是否是，過去時間是標志。否定句很簡單，did之后not添。疑問句也不難，did置于主語前。過去置于動詞前，謂語動詞需還原。

2.巧記動詞過去時形式-ed的變化

　　（1）變化規則：動詞變化很好記，一般末尾加-ed。如果詞尾e有個緊跟其后加個d。輔音字母加y，要y把變i，特殊變化有熟記，保你一定考第一。

　?。?）讀音規則：

清（清輔音）讀清[t]，濁讀濁[d]，[t][d]后面讀[id]。

十二、一般現在時用法

1.句型轉換口訣

經常習慣動作和真理，是一般現在時的定義。

構成除單三皆動原式。若逢動詞第三人稱體，動詞變單三式有道理。

若要變成否定的形式，動詞原形之前加don’t。單三式前doesn’t動原基。

句首Do，Does疑問起，Does用單三人稱限制，單三還原形沒大問題。

2.變動詞單三人稱口訣

　　一般情況動詞尾-s加。o，s，ch，sh結尾“-es”沒有差。輔音加y去y為“-ies”是方法。

十三、現在進行時

現在分詞構成口訣

　　詞尾直加-ing是一般式，若遇無音e去之加-ing。

　　重讀閉音一輔音字母尾，雙寫該字母-ing是正里。

十四、關于被動語態的使用

被動語態構成運用口訣

誰做的動作不知道，說出誰做的沒有必要；

動作承受著需強調，被動語態運用到

被動語態be字變，過去分詞跟后面。

情態動詞變被動，情態 be “過分”。

一般現、過用be done,be有人稱、時、數變；

完成時態have done,被動將be加中間；

一般將來shallwill do,被動變do為be done;

將來進行無被動，shallwill be doing;

現、過進行be doing,被動be加being done;

情、助、有、是妥安排，一律隨新主語變；否定助后加not

十五、省略口訣

回答問題要簡潔，并列重復須省略。

祁使主語必省略，比較than后須省略。

賓從表從that省略，主從that勿省略。

前后出現同一詞，慣用習語常省略。

十六、句子

1.關于五種簡單句　

英語句子萬萬千，五大句型把線牽。

　　句子中間為動詞，后接語是關鍵。

　　系動詞后接表語，vi獨身無牽連。

　　vt又可分三類，單賓雙賓最常見。

2.句子種類口訣

　　句子按用途分四大體，陳述疑問感嘆和祈使。陳述用來敘述一件事。疑問主要用來提問題。

　　祈使表達命令和請求。表達強烈感情感嘆句。上述九是句種之定義。祈使主語you被拋棄。

若將其變成否定形式，動詞之前加don’t是正理。

3.倒裝口訣

副詞開頭要倒裝，人稱代詞則如常。

only修飾副介狀，位于句首半倒裝。

否定意義副連詞，“Neither…nor”須倒裝。

表語前置主語長，銜接自然常倒裝。

such代詞做表語，引起主謂要倒裝。

Not only開頭句，前一分句須倒裝。

had，were，should虛擬句，省略if半倒裝。

十七、從句

1.從句時態

“主將從現，主祈從現，主情從現，主過從過。”

(主指主句,從指從句。將指一般將來時，現指一般現在時，過指一般過去時。祈指祈使句，情指情態動詞。)

2.賓語從句用法

　　賓語從句須注意，幾點事項應牢記。

　　一是關鍵引導詞，不同句子詞相異。

　　陳述句子用that；一般疑問是否(if，whether)替；特殊問句更好辦，引導還用疑問詞。

　　二是時態常變化，主句不同從句異。主句若為現在時，從句時態應看意；主句若為過去時，從句時態向前移。

　　三是語序要記清，從句永保陳述序。

【妙語詮釋】賓語從句應注意三點：①引導詞，陳述句一般由that引導，這時的that可以省略；一般疑問句則由if或whe-ther引導；而特殊疑問句則由特殊疑問詞引導。②時態，主句是現在時態，從句可用所需要的任何時態；但如果主句是過去時態，從句時態所表示時間一般往前移一個時間段。③語序，賓語從句永遠要用陳述句順序。

十八、閱讀理解口訣

　　讀分精泛，快慢相間；預想在先，生詞不看；

　　抓住觀點，重點三看；行云流水，字里行間；

　　材料觀點，銘記心間；牢記問題，抓住關鍵；

　　回問查看，比較選項；選擇答案，排除在先；

　　先易后難，不可弄反；調整節奏，計時答完；

　　表達方式，必須牢記；防止遺忘，勤于動筆；

　　邊答邊查，防止題落；節省時間，避免遺憾。

高考英語短文選（雙語）

1. Fall in Love with English愛上英語

Hiding behind the loose dusty curtain, a teenager packed up his overcoat into the suitcase. He planned to leave home at dusk though there was thunder and lightning outdoors. He had got to do this because he was tired of his parents’ nagging about his English study and did not want to go through it any longer. He couldn’t get along well with English and disliked joining in English classes because he thought his teacher ignored him on purpose. As a result, his score in each exam never added up to over 60.

His partner was concerned about him very much. She understood exactly what he was suffering from, but entirely disagreed with his idea. In order to calm him down and settle his problem, she talked with him face to face and swapped a series of learning tips with him. The items she set down helped him find the highway to studying English well.

The teenager was grateful and got great power from his friend’s words. Now, he has recovered from being upset and has fallen in love with English.

有個少年躲在積滿灰塵的松散窗簾后把大衣裝入手提箱。盡管外面正打雷閃電， 他仍計劃在黃昏時分離家出走。他不得不這樣做是因為厭倦了父母對他英語學習的嘮叨，不想再忍受下去了。他的英語學習總是無法取得進展，而且不喜歡參加英語課的學習，因為他以為老師有意忽視他。結果，他每次考試的分數合計從未超過60。

他的搭檔很關心他，也確切地理解他遭受的折磨，但卻完全不同意他的想法。為了使他冷靜下來好好解決問題，她和他面對面地交談，并交換了一系列的學習心得技巧。她寫下來的條款幫助他找到了學好英語的最佳捷徑。

這個少年非常感激，并從朋友的話里獲得極大的動力。現在，他已經從沮喪中恢復過來，真正愛上了英語。

2. Different Countries Have Different Kinds of Englishes

不同的國家有不同的英語

Voyages of people from England play an important part in spreading the English language. At present, English is frequently spoken as an official or common language in many countries, such as America, Singapore, Malaysia and some African countries. All based on British English, the English spoken in these countries can be well understood by native English speakers. But actually, these Englishes have been gradually changing in accents, spellings, expressions and the usage of vocabulary.

Because of this fact, you can make use of the differences to tell which country the foreigners of your block are from. For example, if a boss fluently commands his driver, “Come up straight to my apartment by elevator and take some gas for my trucks and cabs”, instead of requesting, “Please come to my flat by lift and take some petrol for my lorries and taxis”, you can recognize his American identity, while the latter suggests that he is British.

英國人的航海在英語的傳播中扮演了重要的角色。目前，英語在許多國家被作為官方語言或通用語言頻繁地使用，例如美國、新加波、馬來西亞和一些非洲的國家。這些國家的英語都以英式英語為基礎，能很好地為以英語為本族語的人所理解。但是實際上，這些英語在口音、拼寫、表達和詞匯的使用方面都在逐漸變化。

因為這一情況的存在，你就可以利用這些英語之間的區別說出你們街區的外國人是哪個國家來的了。例如，如果有個老板流利地命令他的司機：“Come up straight to my apartment by elevator and take some gas for my trucks and cabs（直接搭電梯到我公寓上來拿卡車和出租車的汽油）”，而不是要求說，“Please come to my flat by lift and take some petrol for my lorries and taxis（請直接搭電梯到我公寓上來拿卡車和出租車的汽油）”，你就可以輕易地辨認出他的美國人身份，而后者卻暗示著那是一位英國人。（請注意：聽力錄音里第二段兩個“電梯”的單詞跟原文不一致，原文是對的，錄音弄錯了，elevator才是美式說法而lift是英式說法。)

3. A Hard Trip

一次辛苦的旅行

My sister was fond of traveling. Ever since graduating, she had been determined to organize a trip to an old temple. Since transporting fare was expensive, she decided to use a bicycle to cycle there not caring about the disadvantages. Her stubborn attitude was always her shortcoming. Once she made up her mind to do something, no one could persuade her to change her mind. Finally, we gave in as usual though we preferred to take a train. After we prepared everything, including the schedule, reliable weather forecast and the insurance, we began our trip.

Our journey was along a river flowing from a high altitude. Our pace was slow because the river frequently had many sharp bends through deep valleys, where the water seemed to boil. Just as I recorded in my journal, it was really a hard journey. But we also enjoyed great views. One night, I put my head on my pillow--a parcel of wool coats, and lay beneath the stars. When the flame in front of our cave went out at midnight, I found the sky so beautiful!

我的妹妹很喜歡旅行。自從畢業以來，她就下定決心要組織一次往一座古廟的旅行。因為交通費用昂貴，她決定騎自行車去，毫不擔心其中的不利情況。頑固的態度一直都是她的缺點，一旦她下定決心要做的事，就沒有人能說服她改變主意。最后，我們像往常一樣讓步，盡管我們更喜歡乘火車去。我們準備好了所有東西，包括時間表、可靠的天氣預報，還有保險，就開始了旅程。

我們的旅程沿著一條從高海拔處流下來的河流前行。但我們的步伐很慢，因為當流經深深的峽谷時，這條河流急轉彎很多，急湍的河水都似乎沸騰起來。正如我在旅行日志里記錄的那樣，這真是一次艱苦的旅行。但是我們也欣賞到了美麗的景色。一天晚上，我把頭枕在一包羊毛衣服做的枕頭上，躺在星空下，當巖洞前的火焰在午夜熄滅時，我發現夜空是如此的美麗！

4. A Horrible Earthquake

可怕的地震

Dirty water rose in wells and canals before the earthquake. But no one judged that an earthquake was coming. Suddenly, everything shook. It seemed as if the world was at an end. Millions of brick houses and a number of dams were destroyed. Railway tracks became useless bars. Pipes in mines burst and let out smelly steam. Huge cracks trapped cyclists everywhere.

The next day, this event was the headline or main title of all newspapers. With the reporters giving an outline of the disaster, the whole nation was shocked by the damage and the victim’s extreme suffering. People were moved when they read that the survivors comforted each other by saying “Congratulations! You survived!”. So they not only expressed their sympathy sincerely, but also organized together to help the victims right away. The injured were rescued and the dead were buried. The frightened survivors were dug out from under the ruins and were offered shelter, fresh water and electricity. Thanks to people’s help, the loss was minimized.

地震前，水井和運河里的污水都漲涌起來。但是卻沒人判斷出地震即將來臨。霎那間，一切都在搖晃，似乎整個世界就要結束。數以百萬的磚房和許多水壩遭到破壞；鐵路軌道都變成無用的鐵條；煤礦管道紛紛爆裂，發出有臭味的蒸汽；到處都有騎車的人被巨大的裂縫陷住。

第二天，所有報紙都紛紛以大字標題或主要標題報道了這一事件。記者們描述了災難的大概情況，全國都被地震的破壞和災民們極度的苦難所震驚。當人們讀到幸存者以“恭喜啊，你還活著?！眮砘ハ喟参繒r，都被感動了。人們不僅衷心地表達了他們的同情，而且還立刻組織起來幫助災民。傷員被救助了，死者被埋葬了，嚇壞的幸存者被從廢墟中挖出來了，棲身處、凈水和電力也很快得到提供。多虧了人們的幫助，災區的損失被減到了最小。

5. The Great President

偉大的總統

As the founder of the republic, the president had many good qualities. Before coming to power, he was a generous lawyer. He was willing to selflessly help everyone who turned to him. He accepted no fee to offer legal guidance and opinions to those who were out of work or uneducated. Later, believing all mankind to be equal, he devoted himself to stopping the unfair anti-black laws. He set up the Black Youth League and was voted to be the leader. However, though he kept peaceful principles without violence and terror, his mean enemies still blew up his house and attacked his relatives, and he himself couldn’t escape being sentenced to 30 years in prison.

Not fearing of the prison guards’ cruelty, he kept active and begged no mercy from them. As a matter of fact, he was always hopeful and never lost heart during the stage even though he was in trouble.

Finally, people rewarded him with the leader’s position and a gold blanket.

作為共和國的創始人，這位總統具備許多的優秀品質。還在掌權之前，他就是一位慷慨的律師。他愿意無私地幫助那些向他求助的人。他免費為失業的，或沒有受過教育的人提供法律指導和意見。后來，因為相信所有人類都是生來平等，他全身心投入到廢除不平等的反黑人法律工作中。他建立了黑人青年團并被選為領袖。然而，盡管他堅持沒有暴力、沒有恐怖的和平原則，卑鄙的敵人還是炸毀了他的家、襲擊了他的親屬，他自己也無法逃脫被判30年徒刑的遭遇。

在獄中，他毫不畏懼獄警的殘酷，始終保持積極的態度，不向他們乞求憐憫。實際上，他在任何一個困境時期都充滿著希望，從未灰心。

最后，人們以領袖的職位和一塊金毯子回報了他的貢獻。

6. A Brave Maid

勇敢的女仆

A wooden vase from the Ming Dynasty at the entrance of the reception hall amazed everyone. The artists designed it in a rare style and selected valuable jewels to decorate it. People thought highly of its fancy colour of honey and the beautiful paintings on it.

The vase used to belong to a former castle. But when the country was at war, the enemy troops exploded the castle. Debates on how the vase survived went on and on. In order to remove people’s doubt, a team of no less than 20 people carried out an informal investigation. The evidences they found showed that a maid took the vase apart and asked a sailor to sink it in a local well. She never gave away the secret even under the cruel trial of the enemies who were in search of treasures.

It is worth giving this brave maid a fortune in return.

接待大廳入口處的明朝木制花瓶 使每個人都驚奇不已。藝術家以一種罕有的風格設計它，并挑選了貴重的珠寶裝飾它。人們高度贊賞它那蜂蜜般的奇特顏色，還有上面繪制的繪畫。

這個花瓶曾經屬于一座從前的城堡，但在戰爭期間，敵人的軍隊炸毀了城堡，于是關于這個花瓶是如何幸存下來的爭論就一直在持續著。為了解開人們的疑問，一個由不少于20人的調查隊開展了一次非正式的調查。他們找到的證據表明，有個女仆 把花瓶拆開，然后讓一名水手把它沉到當地的一個水井里。她從來沒有泄露這個秘密，即使是在搜尋財寶的敵人殘酷的審訊下。

這位女仆真是值得給予一大筆錢作為對她的回報。

7. A Fair Competition

公平的比賽

Swifter, Higher and Stronger stands for the spirit of the Olympics. But fairness is the basis of this motto. Only when you win fairly will you and your homeland deserve the great glory. But nowadays, unlike the ancient honest slave competitors, some hopeless athletes who can’t bear the pain of training cheat when taking part in games. Medals seem to have magical power causing them to cheat, and the prize money has replaced the motto as their only goal.

So, in the gymnastics event to be held in our city next month, one of the host’s responsibilities is to keep competitions fair. They advertised on posters outside the stadium to promise that every competitor is to have a regular physical examination in a gymnasium one after another. No one can bargain on this. The volunteers in charge will be very strict. It is foolish to cheat because they will not be admitted to compete and will even be fined as well.

“更快！更高！更強！”代表著奧運精神。但是公平卻是這一格言的基礎。只有當你公平地贏得比賽，你和你的祖國才會承受這樣的光榮。但如今，不像古代那些誠實的奴隸參賽者，有些沒有希望的運動員無法承受訓練的痛苦，于是在參加比賽時作假。獎牌似乎有某種魔力使他們作假，獎金也已經代替了奧運格言成為了他們唯一的目標。

因此，在我們市下個月即將舉行的一場體操賽事中，主辦方的其中一項責任就是要確保比賽的公平。他們在體育場外的海報上做廣告，承諾說每個參賽者都將在體育館一個一個地參加常規的身體檢查。對此沒有人可以討價還價。負責此事的志愿者將非常嚴格。作假是很愚蠢的，因為他們將不被允許去競賽，甚至還將被罰款。

8. Computers

電腦

The goal of early calculating machines was to simplify difficult sums. But with the help of new technology, electronic chips replaced tubes and a revolution of artificial intelligence has arisen. From then on, the appearance of computers totally changed our lives. They can not only download information from the wet when connected by the network or mobile phone signals, but also solve different types of logical problems. With operators as their coaches, they can even control rockets to explore the moon and instruct androids with the human race’s characters to mop floors and watch over your naughty niece. Anyhow, computers are so helpful that they do bring happiness.

However, computers are easily attacked by viruses. This reality has become a hard-to-deal with-problem. As a result, computers are dangerous in a way. So, personally, I worry about their universal applications in some fields, such as finance.

早期計算機器的目的是簡化比較難的計算。但是在新技術的幫助下，電子芯片代替了電子管，一場人工智能革命由此掀起。從那時起，電腦的出現完全改變了我們的生活，它們不僅能在網絡或移動電話信號的連接下從網上下載信息，而且可以解決各種類型的邏輯問題。在操作員的教練下，它們甚至還可以控制火箭探索月球，指導具有人類性格的機器人擦洗地板和照顧你調皮的侄女。不管怎么說，電腦都是如此的有用，以致的確給人們帶來了快樂。

然而，電腦很容易受到病毒的攻擊，這一現實已經成為一個難以處理的難題，結果，電腦在某種程度上是很危險的。因此，就個人而言，我很擔心電腦在某些領域，例如金融方面的廣泛應用。

9. Wildlife Protection

保護野生動植物

Dinosaurs died out because of an unexpected incident. But wildlife today disappears or is in danger just because humans do harm to it. For example, tigers are hunted for fur to make carpets so that they can only live in secure reserves; grassland is destroyed without mercy so that dust storms come into being affecting distant cities.

Last year, scientists saw some monkeys rubbing themselves with a certain kind of insects to protect themselves from fierce mosquitoes biting. According to the result of the inspection, they found that the insect contains a powerful drug, so local farmers were employed to catch the insects. The ending was that the insects disappeared from the whole zone. When told that it was a loss to humans, the farmers burst into laughter and responded, “Our real loss is our decreasing income.”

We should appreciate the natural balance and pay more attention to the importance of wildlife protection. Not until we succeed in letting wildlife live in peace, can we smile in relief.

恐龍因一次意外事件而滅絕，但是今天的野生動植物卻是因為人類的傷害而消失或處在危險中。例如，老虎被獵殺以獲取做地毯的皮毛，以致它們只能生活在安全的保護區里；草地被毫不憐憫地破壞，以致沙塵暴開始影響遙遠的城市。

去年，科學家觀察到猴子在身上擦某種昆蟲來保護自己不受兇猛的蚊子的叮咬。根據檢查的結果，他們發現這種昆蟲含有一種具有強大效力的藥物，于是，當地的農民都被雇來抓蟲子。結果是，這種昆蟲從這整個地區都消失了。當被告知說這是整個人類的損失時，農民們都突然大笑著回應道：“我們減少的收入才是我們真正的損失呢！”

我們應該意識到自然平衡的重要，更加注意野生動植物的保護。直到我們成功讓野生動植物安詳平靜地生活，我們自己才能如釋重負地笑開顏。

10. My First Band

我的第一支樂隊

I was very sensitive to music. Just dipping into the music books briefly, I could sing or play well. To be honest, I always dreamt of becoming a famous folk actor. I was so confident that I never decreased my devotion.

I formed my first band called “Rolling Frog”. At the beginning, we relied on performing on instruments in pubs or to passers –by to earn extra money in cash. Then we wore false beards to pretend to be the musicians whom people were familiar with. In addition, we attached humorous acts to our performances and played jokes on each other. Soon, our “funny jazz” became famous and invitations to perform for broadcast stations began to come. Afterwards, we sorted out attractive music and made a record in a studio. A million or so copies were sold and we became millionaires.

It was painful that the band broke up finally. But above all, I realized my dream to be a musician.

我對音樂很敏感，只要簡要地瀏覽一下樂譜，我就能演唱或演奏得很好。說實話，我一直都夢想著能成為出名的民間演員，自信的我從未減少過熱愛。

我組成的第一支樂隊叫做“搖滾蛙”。開始，我們依靠在酒吧里或向路人表演樂器來掙些零花的現金。然后我們帶上假胡子假扮人們熟悉的音樂家，除此之外，我們在表演中加上幽默的動作，互相開著玩笑。很快，我們的“滑稽爵士樂”出了名，到廣播電臺表演的邀請開始多起來。隨后，我們把我們吸引人的音樂做了分類，在一間音樂工作室錄制了1張唱片，大約賣出了100萬張，這使我們都成了百萬富翁。

樂隊最終的解散讓我很心痛，但最重要的是，我實現了自己當音樂家的夢想。

11.An Interesting Festival

有趣的節日

The Agricultural Feast takes place after the Independence Day. It is not a worldwide celebration. Only Christians in Mexico look forward to its arrival for its religious origin:

Long ago, humans’ ancestors were bad. They fooled and played tricks on each other and never kept their word. So God turned up and drowned all their crops. Humans starved day and night, weeping. In order to gain God’s forgiveness, a woman poet set off to see God. She admired God and kept apologizing. God was moved. With his permission, humans finally had good harvests again. So, to wipe sadness and remind themselves of the belief in God, people began the festival.

On the festival, people gather in open air, such as playgrounds or parking lots, and energetically have fun with each other all night long, as though they were never tired. When a beauty dressed up in lovely clothing reads poems in memory of the poet, everyone holds their breath. Then, it is the custom that the bone of a rooster head is given to her as an award.

Obviously, the story is not true, but the festival is interesting.

農業盛會在獨立日后舉行。它不是一個世界性的慶典，由于它的宗教起源，只有墨西哥的基督徒才盼著節日的到來：

很久以前，人類的祖先很壞，他們互相欺騙，耍詭計，從不遵守諾言。于是，上帝出現了，淹死了他們所有的作物。人們日夜挨餓，哭泣著。為了獲得上帝的原諒，一位女詩人出發去見上帝。她對上帝的贊美和懷有的歉意感動了上帝，有了他的允許，人類終于又獲得了豐收。因此，為了抹去憂傷并提醒自己對上帝的信仰，人們開始舉辦這個節日。

在節日那天，人們聚集在露天場所，例如操場或停車場，通宵達旦地玩得非常開心，精力充沛的人們似乎不知疲倦。當一位用可愛的衣服盛裝打扮的美女朗讀詩歌以紀念那位詩人時，在場的每個人都屏住了呼吸，然后，按照風俗，將獎勵給她一只公雞的頭骨。

很明顯，這個故事不是真的，但是節日卻很有趣。

12.Balanced Diet

平衡膳食

Wang Peng earned his living by running a barbecue restaurant, which served delicious bacon, fried chicken breast and mutton roasted with pepper and garlic. But his food and discount attracted fewer and fewer customers. Finally, he was in debt. Yong Hui’s slimming restaurant served fresh peas, carrots, eggplants, and raw cucumbers with vinegar. As the hostess, she said fibres benefited customers' digestion the most. In order not to let Yong Hui get away with telling

lies, Wang Peng spied on Yong Hui despite her glare. But he was surprised that she was losing her customers, too.

Curiosity drove Wang Peng to consult an expert. The expert sighed and said, “Both of your menus have weakness and limited strength. Your customers put on weight too easily, while Yong Hui’s lose weight too quickly. So, Wang Peng, cut down the fat of your food and increase vegetables and fruits, like nuts, beans, mushrooms, peaches and lemons. You ought to combine the two menus and provide a balanced diet.”

Before long, Wang Peng won his customers back.

王鵬經營一家燒烤餐廳來謀生，他的餐廳供應美味的臘肉、油炸的雞胸，還有用辣椒和大蒜一起烤制的羊肉。但是，他的食物和折扣吸引的顧客越來越少，最后是他負債累累。永慧的減肥餐廳供應的是新鮮的豌豆、紅蘿卜、茄子和醋腌的生黃瓜。作為老板娘（女主人），她總是說食物纖維才最有利于顧客的消化。為了不讓永慧說了謊不受懲罰，王鵬不顧她的怒視，前去探查個究竟。但是讓他驚奇的是，永慧的顧客也在嚴重地流失。

好奇心驅使王鵬去咨詢專家。那位專家嘆息著說：“你們倆的菜單都缺點明顯、優點有限。你的顧客很容易就發胖，而永慧的顧客體重卻減輕得太快。所以嘛，王鵬，你要減少你的食物中的脂肪含量，增加蔬菜和水果，例如堅果、豆類、蘑菇、桃子和檸檬之類。你應該把兩份菜單結合起來，給顧客提供平衡的膳食。”

不久，王鵬就贏回了他的顧客。

13. Sailing Home

劃船回家

This novel was about an unbelievable but genuine adventure. Its author was a black businessman who was brought up in America. In 1956, he visited Africa, his birthplace. One day, when he was wandering on the pavement near the bay enjoying the sea scenes, he lost his money and passport that he kept in an envelope. So he went to the embassy to seek help, but the ambassador with rude manners didn’t permit his staff to help though he bowed to him. Staring at his impatient face, he understood that it was the fault of his skin colour that accounted for their refection. So he decided to take a chance to sail on a small boat home.

He met a large amount of difficulty but was never stopped. On the contrary, difficulty pushed him to go ahead harder. Three months later, he was spotted by a ship by accident. He was in rags indeed. A maid even screamed when bringing him a steak and pineapple dessert. Aboard, he earned his passage by working as a barber and got home finally. As for the name of his novel, he couldn’t think of a better one than the phrase “Go Ahead”.

這部小說寫的是一次令人難以置信而又真實的歷險。其作者是一位在美國被撫養長大的黑人商人。1956年，他回到他的出生地非洲。有一天，當他在海灣邊的人行道上漫步欣賞海景時，他丟失了一個裝著錢和護照的信封，于是向當地的大使館尋求幫助。但是大使態度非常粗魯，即使向他鞠躬，也不允許他的職員幫忙。盯著他那不耐煩的臉，他知道是他皮膚顏色的錯才導致了他們的拒絕。于是，他決定冒險駕駛一只小船回家。

他遇到了許多困難，但是從未停止，相反，困難推動他更努力地前進。三個月后，當他被一艘船偶然發現時，真的是衣衫襤褸。給他端來牛排和菠蘿甜品的女仆甚至被嚇得尖叫起來。在船上，他當一名理發師來掙取船費，最后終于回到了家。至于這部小說的名字，他再也不能想到一個比“前進”更好的短語了。

14. Explore MKII

探測MKII行星

MKII, a planet billions of kilometers away, is the origin of life in many religions. Physicists have proved the theory that its gentle climate and the pull of its gravity are similar to the earth’s. And astronomers have found that oxygen atoms and carbon dioxide, which are fundamental to life, exist in its atmosphere through satellites. Cheered up by this news, biologists, in their turn, began to do some research to remove people’s puzzles—Now that there are some suitable conditions, does life really exist on this globe? Do they multiply by laying eggs or giving birth to babies?

Last month, a spaceship was sent there. It’s a pity that this mission failed. Unlike the earth, MKII is a much younger planet. Thus, masses of harmful acid clouds float everywhere causing violent chain reactions to break out. These clouds not only blocked out the pilots’ sight but also damaged the engine system. Luckily, the pilots watched out carefully and prevented the spaceship from crashing in time.

MK二號是一顆幾十億公里外的行星，它在許多宗教里都是生命起源的地方。物理學家已經證明了它溫和的氣候和重力的牽引都和地球相似的理論；天文學家也通過衛星，在它的大氣層里發現了氧原子和二氧化碳的存在，這些都是對生命來說，都是基本的。受到這一消息的鼓舞，生物學家們接著開始了研究以解開人們的迷惑——既然有了適合的條件，生命真的存在于這個星球嗎？他們是通過下蛋，還是產仔來繁殖后代的呢？

上個月，一艘太空飛船被派到了那兒?？上У氖?，這次任務失敗了。不像地球，MK二號是一顆年輕得多的行星。因此，大團大團的有害酸云到處漂浮，引起猛烈的連鎖反應的爆發。這些云團不僅阻擋了飛行員的視線，而且還損壞了發動機系統。幸運的是，飛行員小心注意，才及時阻止了飛船的墜毀。

15.A Journey across Canada

橫穿加拿大的旅行

After a quiz last autumn, Kuang crossed the continent eastward to Toronto to visit his schoolmate, the distance measuring approximately 5,000 kilometers,

His train started from Vancouver, a city surrounded by mountains. After confirming his baggage was aboard the train, Kuang settled down in his seat. Having a gift for communication, he started chatting with another passenger within 5 minutes. Their topics included the Canadian traditions, the Prime Minister, the mixture of races, and the terrifying Great Fall. After a nice buffet at noon, he was pleased to find that the scenery was impressive. He saw beautiful harbours in the distance, wealthy urban areas and maple forest that covered thousands of acres. He even managed to catch sight of an eagle flying upward over bushes.

Kuang reached Toronto which lies slightly near the border at a misty dawn. There was frost and the broad downtown streets were very quiet. Though it was early, Kuang phoned his schoolmate in a booth nearby at once rather than waiting for him to come. They had a good time together.

去年秋天的一次考試后，光向東橫穿整個大陸，來到多倫多探望他的同學，這次旅行的距離測量起來大約有五千多公里。

他的火車從群山圍繞的溫哥華啟程。在證實了自己的行李都在火車上之后，光就在座位上安坐下來。因為在與人交流方面有天賦，他在5分鐘內就和另一個乘客聊起天來。他們的話題包括加拿大的傳統、加拿大的總理、種族的混合，還有讓人心驚膽戰的大瀑布。中午吃了一頓美味的自助餐后，他很高興發現外面的風景非常讓人印象深刻。他看見了遠處美麗的海港、富裕的市區，還有延綿幾千畝的楓樹林，他甚至還設法看見了一只在灌木叢上空翱翔的鷹。

光在一個薄霧籠罩的黎明到達稍稍接近邊境的多倫多，地上有霜，寬闊的市區街道很安靜。盡管還很早，光卻不愿等待，立刻就在附近電話亭給同學打了個電話。他們在一起度過了美好的時光。

16.A Woman Doctor-Lina

女醫生麗娜

Born in a pigs’ nest, Lina led a poor life in her childhood. She was looked down upon by the children of her generation. But she intended to become a doctor after she came across Lin Qiaozhi by chance, who was delivering medical courses to an audience crowding around her. Before moving off, Lin inspired her to carry on her study. With Lin’s support, Lina entered an institute and studied hard sparing no time for entertainment. Her being outspoken and modest won respect for her. Her excellent arguing skills and observation ability put others into the shade.

Now, Lina has become a specialist in human beings’ emergency sickness. Her kindness and considerate behavior to the poor were well known. The organization she founded carried out campaigns and welfare projects to help cut the death rate for the poor. Her job was hard but worthwhile. She often refers to the connection between her achievement and Lin Qiaozhi, and says that her poor childhood is the bond between her and the poor.

麗娜出生在豬圈里，童年過著貧窮的生活，被和她同輩的孩子看不起。但是在她偶然遇見了林巧芝之后卻打定注意想要成為一名醫生，當時林巧芝正在給擁擠在她身邊的觀眾傳授醫療課程，在離開之前，林巧芝鼓舞她繼續堅持學習。在林的支持下，麗娜進入了一所學院。她努力學習，毫不浪費時間玩鬧娛樂。她的坦誠和謙虛為她贏得了尊敬，她優秀的辯論技巧和觀察能力使其他的人都黯然失色。

現在，麗娜已經成為一名人類緊急病癥專家。她對窮人的好心和考慮周到的一舉一動都眾所周知，她建立的組織開展各種活動和福利項目來為窮人減少死亡率。她的工作艱苦卻很值得。她常常提到她的成就和林巧芝之間的聯系，還總是說她貧窮的童年就是她與窮人之間的紐帶。

17. A New Farming Way

新的耕種方式

Tuan was a farmer in Vietnam. For decades, he had been struggling to rid his family of hunger. However, it always confused him how to expand the output of his crops. This disturbing problem led to his regretting being a farmer. He would rather have chosen another job.

One day, when skimming through a newspaper, Tuan read a comment on Yuan Longpin. He underlined Yuan’s nationality and occupation, and then focused on his discovery and the statistics of his research. He found the knowledge Yuan circulated very practical. Therefore, he made a summary and began to build up a new farming method. He planted super grain of rich nutrition and equipped himself to keep his crops roots free from bacteria and pests. He also enriched minerals in the soil while reducing chemical fertilizers. Though it cost him more time and freedom, he was full of hope.

The next year, Tuan was sunburnt but satisfied with his production very much. Thanks to Yuan Longpin, he not only won the battle against hunger, but he could also export his crops abroad.

俊是一名越南的農民，幾十年來，他都一直在努力使家人擺脫饑餓。然而，如何擴大他的農作物產量這一問題卻一直在困擾著他。這個惱人的問題導致了他后悔當一名農民，而寧愿自己當初選擇其它的工作。

一天，俊在瀏覽報紙的時候，讀到一篇關于袁隆平的評論。他在袁的國籍和職業下面劃了線，然后將焦點集中在他的發現和研究數據上。他發現袁傳播的知識非常實用，因此，他做了摘要，并開始建立一種新的耕作方式。他種植營養豐富的超級谷物，添置設備以使作物的根部免受細菌害蟲的傷害；他還增加土壤所含的礦物質，同時減少化學肥料的使用。盡管耗費了他更多的時間和自由，他卻充滿著希望。

第二年，俊被曬黑了，但是卻對自己的生產非常滿意。多虧了袁隆平，他不僅贏得了對抗饑餓的戰斗，而且還將自己的作物出口到國外呢。

18. Chaplin - A Great Master of Humour

幽默大師卓別林

Chaplin was an extraordinary performer who starred in and directed many outstanding comedies. Few were bored watching his moustache, his gestures or his entertaining reactions when chased by detectives. Being drunk, sliding on a banana skin or whispering his own failures to nobody, he made us feel more content with our life without any verbal explanation. His particular sense of humor has astonished everybody throughout the world up to now.

In a small budget film, he played a badly-off and homeless person wearing worn-out shoes and messy clothes. On one occasion, he was trapped by a snowstorm in a vast mountainous area. Though he overcame many difficulties, he wasn’t fortunate enough. With all the porridge eaten up, he picked out a shoe and boiled it to eat. He cut off the leather bottom and chewed it like a pancake. According to an actress, his acting was so convincing and amusing that everybody couldn’t help bursting into laughter.

卓別林是一名非凡的演員，他主演并導演了多部杰出的喜劇。看見他可笑的小胡子、滑稽的手勢動作，還有面對警探的追捕時有趣的反應，很少有人會覺得厭煩。喝醉酒啦，踩到香蕉皮滑倒啦，或者自言自語（低語）自己的糗事啦，他無需任何語言解釋的表演總是使我們對自己的生活感到更加滿意。他獨特的幽默感直到現在依然使世界各地的人們都感到驚訝。

在一部小預算的電影里，他穿著磨破的鞋子和臟兮兮的衣服，扮演了一名貧窮又無家可歸的人。在一幕場景中，他被一場暴風雪困在一片多山的區里。盡管他克服了許多困難，但是他還是運氣不好的。粥都吃完了，他只好挑出一只鞋子煮來吃。他切下皮革的鞋底，像烙餅一樣地咀嚼起來。據一名女演員所說，他的表演是如此地令人信服而又逗人發笑的，以致在場的所有人都忍不住大笑起來。

19.A Misunderstanding

一場誤會

In general, spoken statements are the major way of communication, but body language and facial expressions also have such kinds of function. For example, yawning means being not interested and turning one’s back to someone or swinging your fist shows your anger. But what those gestures really mean is subjective in different cultures. Thus, misunderstandings happen now and then in today’s world of cultural crossroads.

Once, representing the Adults’ Education Association, I went to the airport to meet an official of high rank from Columbia and take him to his dormitory and then to the canteen. After the flight arrived, I saw a man looking around curiously. So I approached to greet him. He suddenly dashed to hug me and kissed me on both cheeks. As a young girl, I felt truly embarrassed and put up my hands to defend myself. His false smile told me that he had lost face.

Later, I received a cassette from him, in which he recorded his apology. On hearing that Columbians were more likely to kiss others, I soon felt at ease.

通常說來，口頭表達是人們交流的主要方法，但是肢體語言和面部表情也有這種功能。例如，打哈欠意味著不感興趣，背對別人或向其揮舞拳頭表達的是憤怒。但是在不同的文化中那些手勢表達的真正意思是很主觀的。由此，誤會就時不時地發生在今天這個文化交叉碰撞的世界里。

有一回，我代表成人教育協會到機場去接一位從哥倫比亞來的高級官員，我得帶他到宿舍和食堂。當他的航班到達時，我看見一名男子好奇地東張西望，于是走上前去和他打招呼。他突然猛沖過來擁抱我，還親了我的臉頰。還是個年輕姑娘的我感到真尷尬，不由自主舉起手來保護自己。他的假笑告訴我他感到丟了面子。

后來，我收到他送來的一盒磁帶，里面錄了他的道歉。當聽到這只是因為哥倫比亞人更傾向于見面時互相親吻時，我很快就感到輕松安心了。

20.A Unique Theme Park

獨一無二的主題公園

As soon as our shuttle got close to the theme park by the freeway, everyone came to life and put on cloth sneakers in advance for an outing. Our translator paid for the admission, and we started enjoying the various attractions in the sunlight.

According to the travel brochure, this unique park is famous for its well preserved minority culture. We experienced many deeds of the early settlers, such as swinging across rivers, hunting creatures in the jungle, or taking part in swords fighting tournaments.

This park is also famous for its wooden souvenirs. Whichever we bought in the central shop was made of wood, and wherever we went we could see minority carpenters working. They made wooden tools, wooden cartoon figures, wooden athletic products and so on. They even built a huge wooden engine with a length of 20 metres, which was modeled after a real one.

This theme park is really a fantasy amusement park. No wonder it has become the brand of local tourism.

我們走高速公路的來往穿梭巴士一接近主題公園，大家都活躍了起來，并且提前穿上了布鞋，做好這趟外出旅游的準備。翻譯付了入場費后，我們就開始在陽光下欣賞各種各樣吸引人的東西。

根據旅行手冊的介紹，這個獨一無二的公園因其得到良好保護的少數名族文化而聞名。我們體驗了許多早期定居者所做的事，如蕩過河啦，在叢林中獵殺動物啦，或者參加劍術比賽啦等等。

這個公園還因為它的木制紀念品而聞名，我們在中心商場購買的任何一件物品，都是用木頭制作的，無論我們走到哪里，都可以看見少數名族的木匠們在忙碌。他們制作的有木制工具、木制的卡通人物、木制的運動用的產品，等等等等。他們甚至還根據一臺真實發動機仿造了一臺長度有20米的木制發動機。

這個主題公園真是個充滿幻想的娛樂公園，怪不得它成為當地旅游業的一個品牌。

21.A Strange Disease奇怪的疾病

When the construction of the firework factory came to the stage of painting, a pump was put in. Then, all the painters in the neighbourhood were defeated by a severe disease whose characteristic was alike to that of a bad burn.

An expert physician was instructed to attend to the victims and handle this case. He was enthusiastic, but he didn’t foresee that it was a hard challenge. After simple enquiry, he announced that the polluted paint was to blame. But without positive evidence, people suspected and rejected his view, saying the theory he put forward made no sense. Being much more strict with himself, he contributed himself to the case. Apart from making enquiries, he made detailed charts and analysed the data cautiously. Finally, he drew a scientific conclusion, linking the disease to the radium in the pump. Exposed to radium, a kind of radioactive material in the universe, people absorbed radiation and got sick immediately.

Spinning the pump backward, he took away the radium. This simple movement cured all the victims.

當那座煙花工廠的建設到了油漆階段時，一個水泵被安裝進來，接著，在它附近的油漆

工都得了一種嚴重的疾?。膊魯∮推峁ぃ?，其特征與燒傷相似。

一位經驗豐富的內科醫生被指定去照顧受害者并負責處理這一案例。他熱情地投入到工作中，但是卻沒有預見到這是一次艱難的挑戰。在簡單的詢問后，他就宣布說罪魁禍首是受污染的油漆（油漆應受責備）。但是沒有確實的證據，人們很懷疑并拒絕他的觀點，大家都說他提出的理論毫無道理。他對自己要求更加嚴格，全身心地投入。除了詢問，他還制作了詳細的圖表，謹慎地分析各項數據，最后，他終于得出了一個科學的結論，把疾病和水泵中的鐳聯系起來。鐳是宇宙中的一種放射性物質，當暴露在鐳的輻射中時，人體吸收其射線，立刻染上疾病。

他把水泵向后旋轉，拿走了里面的鐳，這個簡單的動作治愈了所有的受害者。

22.Sightseeing in the United Kingdom觀光聯合王國

After the wedding, my cousin and his wife went to the United Kingdom for nationwide sightseeing. He faxed a letter to me in English yesterday. To my delight, he no longer made any tense error. And his description roughly clarified my questions about the UK--its currency, its administration, the institution which divides it into four provinces, and the historical conflicts and quarrels when Southern Ireland broke away from the UK.

Unwilling to leave out any attraction, my cousin arranged his enjoyable journey carefully. One attractive place he visited was a castle in the countryside of Scotland, which lies near a port. It used to be the headquarters（請注意：音頻里面是headquarter，沒有加s，是不對的。）of the Communism Union but broke down during the war. Finding nothing could take the place of this splendid architecture, people accomplished rebuilding it in 1952. It was to their credit that all furnished rooms are consistent with what they used to be. My cousin was thrilled by its collections consisting of statues plus royal uniforms folded in glass tanks. Though there was no possibility to buy some of these exhibits, it was convenient to take photos, which he sent me along with his fax.

我的表弟和他妻子在舉辦了婚禮后到聯合王國做全國旅游觀光去了。他昨天傳真了一封英文信給我，讓我高興的是，他再也不犯時態錯誤了，而且他的描述也粗略地向我闡明了關于英國的一些問題——它的貨幣啦，行政管理啦，把它分成四個行政區的制度啦，還有在南愛爾蘭脫離聯合王國時發生的一些歷史上的沖突和爭拗。

因為不愿意漏掉任何一個景點，我表弟仔細地安排了他愉快的旅程。他參觀的其中一個吸引人的地方是蘇格蘭鄉村的一個城堡。城堡靠近一座港口，曾經是共產主義聯盟會的總部，但是在戰爭中倒塌了。人們發現沒有任何東西可以取代這座輝煌的建筑，于是在1952年完成了重建。值得贊揚的是，所有配備家具的房間都和它們過去一致的。由雕像加折疊在玻璃柜里的皇家制服組成的收藏品使我表弟震撼不已。盡管沒有可能購買這些展覽品，拍照卻很方便，他在傳真中一起發給了我。

23.An Air Crash飛機失事

I was a previous typist in a post office. Because I couldn’t tolerate typing any more postage bills or postcodes on a typewriter every day, I resigned. With a greedy motivation of making big money, I took up working as a business representative for the G.E Ecology Company, which produced goods by recycling useful materials from our dustbins. My new job left me good impressions in many aspects except that the working timetable was full of traveling by jets.

Once, when speeding up, our jet was swallowed by a thunderstorm, which destroyed our GPS receiver and made us lose sight of the directions. A constantly flashing light showed that our jet was in danger. A steward instantly asked us to put on masks and fasten the safety belts, and then pressed a button to switch on the escaping capsule. It slid sideways out of the opening at once and landed in a desert area safely. Lacking food and tablets, we were nervous and uncertain at first. But we all kept optimistic and made good adjustment to the situation. We swept up the surrounding mud to make our settlement and were back on our feet soon. Finally, guided by the smoke of our crashing jet, some local citizens came by carriages and saved us.

我以前是一家郵局的打字員，因為忍受夠了每天在打字機上打郵資賬單或郵政編碼，我辭了職。帶著想掙大錢的貪婪動機，我開始給一家叫G.E生態公司的企業當商務代表，這家公司通過回收我們垃圾箱里的有用材料生產商品。我的新工作在多方面都給了我很好的印象，除了一點：乘飛機旅行擠滿了我的工作時間表。

有一次，我們的噴氣飛機在加速時被一場雷暴吞沒，不僅損壞了GPS信號接收器，還使我們看不見方向。一盞持續閃亮的燈說明我們的飛機正處在危險中。一名乘務員立刻讓我們戴上面罩、系牢安全帶，接著按下一枚按鈕 打開逃生倉電源，逃生倉馬上側著滑出出口，安全降落在一片荒涼的地區。因為缺少食品和藥品，我們一開始都又緊張又心里沒底，但是我們都保持樂觀，做好調整適應這一新境況。我們打掃干凈周圍的泥土，安頓下來，很快就恢復過來。最后，在我們墜機煙霧的指引下，一些當地的居民搭乘馬車到來，我們都獲救了。

24.An Amateur Journalist業余記者

Jane is a housewife, but delighted to work as an amateur journalist. It is a dilemma for her to rush between family and work, and it is also unusual for the News Department to depend on an amateur to cover crimes. But Jane is really gifted. It is admirable that she is seldom accused of making mistakes. And, eager to become more professional, she concentrates on her job and updates herself now and then.

Once she is informed of a new case, her normal working process is as follows: first, she makes appointments with guilty people for interviews. So as to acquire accurate stories, she usually demands to record what they say. Meanwhile, a technically good colleague will assist her in taking photographs. Second, she assesses whether they are deliberately hiding the truth. If she is skeptical about their words, she will look into the case herself. Third, she writes thorough stories ahead of the deadline and submits it to the senior chief editor, who polishes and approves every section. Finally, her stories will be published in different editions of their magazine.

簡是一名家庭主婦，但卻非常樂意做一名業余記者。在家和工作之間奔波總是使她左右為難，而且對于新聞部來說，依靠一名業余人員來報道罪案也是不同尋常的，但是簡真的很有天賦，讓人欽佩的是她極少因為犯錯而受到責備。因為渴望做得更加專業，她全神貫注于工作，且時不時地就提升自身的業務水平。

一旦接到新案子的通知，她通常的工作程序如下：首先，她和有罪的人約了作采訪。為了獲得準確的新聞，她通常要求做錄音，同時，一位技術上好的同事會協助她拍照；接著，她對受采訪的人是否有故意隱瞞真相作出評估。如果她懷疑他們的話，就會親自調查案件；然后，她在截稿期限前寫出詳盡的報道，呈交給高級主編，由他對每個部分做潤色和批準；最后，她的新聞就發表在雜志的各個版本中了。

25.First Aid

急救

A boy fell ill. His organs were damaged by the radiation of an infrared ray stove. But before the ambulance arrived, a number of other injuries happened to this unlucky boy over and over again. First, he was choked by some poisonous liquid from the kettle on the cupboard. Then his wrist skin was burnt by electric shock. Finally, his ankle was cut by a pan.

Fortunately, the boy’s nurse gave him proper temporary treatments according to his complex symptoms. She mildly squeezed the poisonous liquid out of his throat and put bandages firmly in place to apply pressure to the ankle wound to stop bleeding. As for the burn, she used scissors to remove his sleeve, poured a basin of cold water over the burn to cool it and put her hands on a damp blouse to cover his swollen tissue tightly. She also inspired his bravery to fight against the unbearable pain. Her first aid made a vital difference in saving his life. A ceremony was held to honour the nurse who overcame a variety of barriers to save the boy.

有個孩子病倒了，他的體內器官被一臺紅外線烤爐的放射線灼傷了。但是在救護車到來前，這個不幸的孩子身上還一而再、再而三地發生了許多別的傷害。開始是被櫥柜上水壺里的有毒液體噎住，然后是手腕的皮膚被電擊燒傷，最后，一只平底鍋還割傷了他的腳踝。

幸運的是，男孩的保姆根據他的復雜癥狀給予了適當的臨時治療。她輕輕地從他喉嚨里把有毒液體擠了出來；并在腳踝合適的位置緊緊扎上繃帶，施加壓力使傷口的流血止住；對于燒傷，她用剪刀剪去他的袖子，倒了一盆涼水給燒傷位置降溫，并找來一件濕的女式襯衫緊緊蓋住他腫脹的皮膚組織。此外，她還激發起他的勇敢和難以忍受的疼痛做斗爭。她的急救在挽救他性命中起了至關重要的作用。人們舉辦了一場典禮來表彰這位克服各種障礙挽救了男孩的小保姆。

26.Abstract Art

抽象藝術

Abstract art used to be controversial. On one hand, the artists stopped painting delicate figures but attempted to adopt special techniques to give people different visual impacts. On the other hand, their works, including sculptures carved out of marble or fragile clay, were all with a specific aim of showing feelings. Some conventional scholars who were allergic to abstract art said it was evidently ridiculous and neither art nor geometry. Their Traditional Art Committee predicted its soon disappearing.

But nowadays, abstract art has become part of the permanent possessions of contemporary civilization. Galleries along the Madison Avenue give scores of superb exhibitions on typical abstract works, appealing to many who have a preference for abstract art. The Shadow of Egypt, a café in this district, has become the home to those aggressive abstract artists. Consequently, it is not a coincidence for you to meet one of these artists of great reputation in the flesh. They are asked for signatures and given bunches of fragrant flowers plus they are given a great deal of praise by their faithful fans.

抽象藝術曾經頗受爭議，一方面，抽象藝術家們不再畫精致的畫像，而是試圖采用特別的技巧給人們以不同的視覺沖擊；另一方面，他們的作品，包括用大理石和易碎的粘土雕刻出來的雕像，都以表達感情為其明確的目的。有些對抽象藝術反感的傳統學者說抽象藝術是極其明顯地荒謬可笑，說它既不是藝術，又不是幾何學，他們的傳統藝術委員會還預言了它的迅速消失。

但是到了今天，抽象藝術已經成為當代文明永久財產的一部分，麥蒂遜大道的畫廊為典型的抽象藝術作品舉辦了許多出色的展覽，吸引了許多對抽象藝術有偏愛的人。這區有家叫埃及之影的咖啡館已經成為那些有進取精神的抽象藝術家們活動的根據地，所以，親眼見到一位名聲極大的藝術家本人并不是什么巧合的事，他們被忠實的崇拜者索取簽名，并被給予成束的芬芳花朵和大量的贊揚。

27.A Russian Poem俄國童謠

Since childhood, Anton had often recited poems, accompanied by pianists and violinists, at wedding ceremonies before brides and bridegrooms exchanged rings. Gradually, he found writing poems the most appropriate way to convey his joy and sorrow. When his poem Contradictory Blank won him a national championship and a scholarship to the Moscow University from a sponsor, he was just an unknown librarian. After getting his diploma, he devoted his life to writing poems. Using concrete but flexible language and the minimum of words is his style. He tried out different patterns and preferred nursery rhyme in particular. The following is a translation of one of his works made up of 3 sections:

Little sparrow with heavy load,Ran out of energy and very cold;No compass and all sweat salty,Can you go through the endless darkness?Little balloon let out by the thread,Flew over cottages and was very glad;With warmth transformed from sunlight,He said he could forever fly;Take it easy, little balloon;Don’t tease the sparrow with his wound;On the bare branch and have a rest;This diamond heart will eventually get success.

從童年時起，安東就常常在鋼琴師或小提琴師的伴奏下在婚禮上朗誦詩歌，為新郎新娘交換戒指前的儀式助興。漸漸地，他發現寫詩是表達他的歡樂和悲傷的最合適方式。在他還是個寂寞無聞的圖書管理員時，他的詩《矛盾的空白》就獲得了全國詩歌創作冠軍，并為他贏得一位贊助人提供的獎學金，到莫斯科大學深造。獲得文憑后，他將一生都投入到詩歌創作中。使用具體而靈活的語言和最少的詞語數量是他的風格，他還喜歡嘗試不同的詩歌形式，特別是童謠。下面由三部分組成的譯文就是他的作品中的一首：

小麻雀，負重擔， 小氣球，脫繩系， 別緊張，小氣球

筋疲力盡擋風寒， 飛越農舍真高興， 別笑麻雀傷口留，

汗水成鹽無指引， 陽光給予它溫暖， 光光的樹梢歇片刻，

能否穿越無邊暗？ 永遠高飛不費力； 恒（鉆石）心終把成功求。

28.Let’s Help Adolescents

幫助青少年

Whether they are male or female, adolescents feel like deciding on everything themselves in spite of parents’ instruction, especially when they face problems like sex, mental stress, etc., which make them feel ashamed and embarrassed. Thus they often automatically get into troubles due to their imperfect comprehension and judgement. Some are addicted to cigarettes, only several packets of which will hurt their lungs and make them breathless quickly. Others can’t quit drinking alcohol, whose harmful effects include causing young pregnant women to abort or give birth to abnormal babies. The worst is drug abuse, for the withdrawal is tough once their bodies are accustomed to the drugs. Meanwhile, those who share needles bought from illegal chemists are at great risk of being infected with desperate AIDS. If so, neither injecting nor taking pills can guarantee their survival.

However, don’t be disappointed at or have prejudice against our children so easily. After all, being awkward is an appendix of youth. As long as we strengthen communication with them instead of only banning this or banning that, we will surely help them avoid anything unfit.

不論男女，青少年們都喜歡不顧家長的指導，自己對一切作決定，特別是當他們面對如性、心理壓力等等一些使他們覺得羞愧和尷尬的問題時更是如此。因此，由于他們理解力和判斷力的不足，他們常常會無意識地陷入困境中。有的對香煙上癮，只要幾包就會對他們的肺造成損害，使他們很容易就氣喘吁吁；有的沒法戒除酒精帶來的不良后果，包括造成年輕的懷孕女性流產或生下不正常的嬰兒；最糟糕的是濫用毒品，因為一旦他們的身體對毒品習慣了，要想戒毒就相當困難了。同時，那些共用從非法藥劑師處購買的注射器的青少年冒著感染令人絕望的艾滋病的極大風險，一旦感染上，不管是打針還是吃藥都沒法保證他們的生存了。

然而，請不要輕易就對我們的孩子失望或抱有偏見，畢竟，不成熟是年輕的必然附屬品。只要我們加強和他們的溝通，而不是僅僅禁止這樣，不準那樣，我們一定能幫助他們避開不健康的東西。

29.Refresh Our Environment恢復環境生機

As the director stated on behalf of his researching group, the data of this graph makes a clear presentation of the future environmental tendency. On one hand, the quantity of fuel keeps on decreasing by 9% per year while the growth of a wide range of pollution has been a global trend. On the other hand, the mildly but steadily going up of the average temperature is resulting in catastrophes like widespread floods. Without disagreement, they subscribe to the view that it is humans’ existence and their randomly consuming energy that result in this phenomenon.

Many people have a commitment that developing nuclear power or energy from outer space will stop bad consequences coming about. However, scientists and educators are opposed to this view even if our needs may be met on the whole. They tend to advocate refreshing our circumstances by saving energy and recycling waste. It is suggested that we use energy-saving appliances such as electrical motors, microwaves and so on and not be casual about little things like recycling a can. So please glance around and see what you can do. So long as everybody makes contribution, we will not have to put up with this problem anymore.

正如那位主任代表他的研究小組所說明的那樣，這張圖表的數據清楚地描述了未來環境的趨勢：一方面，燃料的數量以每年9%的速度持續減少，同時，大范圍污染的增長已經成為一種全球趨勢；另一反面，平均氣溫輕微卻穩定地升高正在造成像廣泛的洪澇那樣的災難。無不同意地，他們一致贊成是人類的存在和任意的消耗能源才造成了這一現象。

許多人都信奉開發核能和外太空能源會防止糟糕的后果發生的理論，然而，即使這樣可以基本上滿足我們的需要，科學家和教育家們仍然反對這一觀點。他們更傾向于擁護用節省能源和回收廢料的方法恢復環境生機，并建議我們要使用節省能源的器具，如電力發動機、微波爐等，還建議我們不要對如回收罐子這種小事漫不經心。因此，看看你身邊是否有你能做的事，只要每個人都作出貢獻，我們就不必再忍受這個問題的困擾了。

30.A Volcano Eruption火山爆發

As the best candidate, I was appointed to collect and evaluate information for a database about diverse natural disasters, such as hurricanes, typhoons or thunderstorms. Sometimes I did this by giving out questionnaires to those who went through them. But sometimes I had to go through actual disasters myself. The Musaki Volcano was one of them.

At that time, I lived in a bungalow alongside the volcano with a novelist, who came for the appreciation of its eruption. One day, when I was drawing diagrams on the balcony and he was bathing inside, the volcano erupted unexpectedly. The ash and lava fountains shooting highly in the sky varied from 50 to 100 meters in height. It was absolutely fantastic! I even noticed a rainbow appear in the fog caused by a heat wave.

But, glancing through our surroundings, I foresaw the potential danger and found no guarantee of our safety. The uncomfortable gas almost made us unconscious. Sweats of anxiety began to drop. Managing to stop panicking and trembling, we quickly put on our protective suits, helmets and boots and eventually made our way to a safe place. How lucky we were even though my precious equipment and documents were all burnt to the ground!

作為最好的候選人，我被委派為一個數據庫收集和評估各種自然災害的信息，例如颶風、臺風或雷暴等。有時我通過向經歷過這些災害的人分發調查問卷來收集信息，有時卻得親自經歷實際的災害。Musaki火山就是其中之一。

那時，我和一名來欣賞火山爆發的小說家同住在火山邊上的一座平房里。有一天，當我正在陽臺上畫圖表而他在屋里洗澡時，火山突然爆發了，噴射到天空中的火山灰和巖漿噴泉從50米到100米不等，這一情景絕對地奇異，我甚至還注意到一條彩虹出現在熱浪造成的霧里。

然而，我向四周看了一下，馬上預見到了潛在的危險，也發現了我們的安全毫無保障。令人不舒服的氣體幾乎使我們失去知覺，憂慮的汗水開始流淌下來。我們努力使自己不要驚慌和顫抖，迅速穿上保護套裝、頭盔和靴子，最后成功前往安全的地方。盡管我珍貴的設備和文件都燒得精光，但是我們真的非常幸運。

31.Defeat Disability戰勝殘疾

Yang’s ambition was to get an architect certificate or become a bowling master. But when he was conducting experiments with a microscope in the basement, a tank on the bench exploded, sending him flying outwards through the exit. He was out of breath while knowing he lost his eyesight as well as 70% of his hearing. In other words, he was disabled. 陽的雄心是，要么獲得一張建筑師證書，要么成為一名保齡球高手。但是在地下室里的顯微鏡下進行試驗時，放在長凳上的一只大桶突然爆炸，把他從出口處炸飛了出去。當知道自己除了失去70%的聽力之外，還失去了視力時，他完全喘不過氣來。換句話說，他殘疾了。

Feeling clumsy, he was annoyed at first though nobody made fun of him. He cut out going outdoors and just sat around at home talking to his parrot or tortoise silently. His sister resigned to help him in many ways. Her assistance and encouragement were so beneficial to his psychology that he adapted to his disability soon and became outgoing again. In a college accessible to him, he studied politics and literature. He always sat in the front row near the entry without any absence and, with the help of his handy laptop, he studied well by means of dictation. His thesis, Abolishing Slavery, met with all professors’ approval. After class, he and his companions often played drum music, which was noisy but suitable for his hearing. After graduation, he made high profits by designing software for a firm. All in all, in his community, he won his dignity and people’s congratulations.

He always wished all the best to his disabled fellows and encouraged them, “Never mind! All you have is adequate to get your achievement.”

最初，盡管沒人取笑他，他還是非常氣惱于自己的笨拙。他取消了外出，總是在家里閑坐，和他的鸚鵡和烏龜默默相對。他的姐姐辭了職，用許多方式幫助他。她的幫助和鼓勵對他的心理是如此地有益，以致他很快就適應了自己的殘疾，再次變得外向起來。他在一所接受他就讀的學校里學習政治和文學，總是坐在靠近入口的前排，從不缺席。在他輕便好用的手提電腦的幫助下，他用聽寫的方式學習得很好。他的論文《廢除奴隸制》受到所有教授的一致認可。課后，他和伙伴們還常常演奏大聲卻適合他聽覺的鼓樂。畢業后，他通過設計軟件為一家公司獲得很高的利潤?？傊谒纳鐓^里，他贏得了自己的尊嚴和人們的祝賀。他一直都把所有最好祝愿給予他殘疾的同伴，并鼓勵他們：“沒關系，你擁有的一切一定足夠你取得自己的成就！”

32．Happy Marriage Needs Fighting For

幸福的婚姻需要爭取

As a talented navy officer, he was bound to be busy. When his wife rang him up to declare her divorce alarm, he was still scanning a digital counter to check the data so as to give an assessment of the theoretical framework for a biochemical weapon. His junior staff’s sympathy made him feel embarrassed.

His wife was a part-time clerk. With his high bonus, she lived in a grand house with elegant cushions and bedding. Her favour was reading stars’ biographies or absurd fictions with endless chapters in her armchair. People envied her leisure life very much. But in fact, she was tired of being left alone. She sent emails to his mailbox every week to state her thinking and ask for his accompaniment, but never received reply of satisfaction. Tired of his explanation that he must obey the orders, she filed for divorce.

Because he desired to get their holy affection back, he set other affairs aside. He trimmed his fingernails short and changed his overweight figure as well as his awful haircut. He wore an apron to prepare delicious cuisine for her. He also bought her a necklace and piles of flowers hoping that their receiver could turn around.

After being tested out for 3 months in all, he eventually succeeded.

作為一名才華出眾的海軍軍官，他注定是要忙碌的。當他的妻子打來電話宣布和他離婚的警告時，他還在查看一臺數碼計數器核對數據，以對一種生物化學武器的理論框架做出評估。他的下級職員表現出的同情使他很尷尬。

他的妻子是一位非全日性工作的職員，有了他的高津貼，她住在一所裝飾有優雅墊子和寢具的富麗堂皇的屋子里。她的愛好是坐在扶手椅上讀讀明星們的傳記或一些有沒完沒了章節的荒謬小說。別人都很妒忌她安逸的生活，但是實際上，她厭透了被獨自丟下。她每周都給他的郵箱發電子郵件陳述她的想法，要求他的陪伴，但卻從未收到滿意答復。受夠了他總是必須服從命令的解釋，她提出了離婚。

因為渴望重新獲得這份神圣的愛，他把別的事務都放在一邊。他剪短了指甲，改變了超重的身材和糟糕的發型，還穿上圍裙為她做可口的菜肴，他甚至還給她買了項鏈和成堆的鮮花，希望它們的接受者能夠回心轉意。

在被考驗了總共3個月后，他最終成功了。

33. Mark and a Seal

馬克和海豹

Mark rented an accommodation with his pension near the shore. He paid annual visits there to enjoy the vivid beauty in the depths of the pure sea.

Once, with his underwater telescope and flashlight, Mark dived along the boundary between the steep reef and the area of seaweed conservation. Suddenly, an awesome Antarctic seal with sharp teeth appeared opposite him. Every cell in his body was scared to death. But soon, he was aware that he wasn’t the target of an attack. With a neat wound in its lip caused by a shark, this grey seal was washed upside down by the tides time after time. But it tried to jog Mark as if to urge him to help it. So Mark abandoned fleeing away. With its teamwork, Mark used a net to drag the seal to the shallow water. Without pausing he helped it out after a simple operation and settled it in a narrow cave by the seaside. Every time he brought it tasty fish, it would yell and suck his hands happily. Witnesses said their anecdotes reflected a magic dimension of the relationship between humans and animals.

馬克用他的退休金在海岸邊租了一間住所，每年都去那兒欣賞純凈的大海深處那生動的美麗。

有一次，馬克帶著他的水下望遠鏡和手電筒，潛到陡峭的暗礁和海草保護區間的分界線。突然，一只長著尖利牙齒、使人畏懼的南極海豹出現在他對面。馬克嚇壞了，但是很快，他就意識到，他不是攻擊的目標。這只灰色海豹的唇上有道鯊魚咬出的整齊傷口，還時不時地被潮水沖得頭上腳下。盡管如此，它卻總是努力輕輕碰撞馬克，似乎在催促他幫助它。于是馬克放棄了逃跑。在這只海豹的合作下，馬克用一張網把它拖到淺水區，并毫不停歇給它動了一個簡單的手術，幫助它解決了問題，然后將它安置在海邊一個狹窄的洞里。每次當馬克給它帶來鮮美可口的魚時，它就會高興地大聲叫喚，還吮吸他的手。目擊者都說他們的軼事映射出人與動物關系中奇妙的一個方面。

34.Helping the Remote Village援助山村

A year ago, the famous astronaut received an invitation by airmail from a remote village. Intending to sniff some fresh air, he and his interpreter paid a fortnight visit there. It was a privilege for them to be there, but they were shocked by what they saw. The tracks were muddy. The river was drying up. Most villagers only possessed one broom, a few tins and several jars and their rectangular grass huts with round angles were surrounded by weeds. Besides, their school had no roof and platform, and the students had no concept of clicking a computer at all. They were badly in need.

Soon, the astronaut made a generous voluntary donation to the village. There were textbooks for students, sewing machines for tailors and tractors for farmers. His distribution catalogue also included operating a clinic and a trunk library, as well as giving weekly lessons to teach relevant farming knowledge like how to dry out seeds or raise oxen. He himself not only helped do some paperwork but also purchased grills for boys to toast potatoes and combs for girls who were dying to get one. The other day, he heard from the villagers again inviting him to participate in the donation anniversary. For political and security reasons, he couldn’t adjust his outgoing arrangement-otherwise he would go. But his deeds were remembered forever.

一年前，那位著名的宇航員收到一份由一個偏遠村莊通過航空郵件寄來的邀請。因為想要呼吸一下新鮮空氣，他和翻譯到那兒做了一次兩周的訪問。當地之行使他們倍感榮幸，但卻震驚于所見所聞。泥濘的道路、河流干枯，大部分的村民擁有的財產只不過是一只掃帚、幾個瓶瓶罐罐而已，圓角的矩形草屋四周長滿了雜草，學校也沒有屋頂和講臺，學生們更對點擊操作電腦毫無概念。他們生活確實相當困難。

很快，宇航員就向村莊做了慷慨的自愿捐贈。捐贈品中有給學生的課本，給裁縫的縫紉機，還有給農民的拖拉機。捐贈金的分配目錄中還包括一間診所和一間書箱圖書館的運作，并有傳授像怎么使種子干透，或者怎么養牛這種相關農業知識的每周課程。他自己不僅親自幫助做一些文書工作，還給男孩子們購買了烤馬鈴薯的烤架、給渴望得到梳子的女孩子們買了梳子。前幾天，他又收到了村民們邀請他參加捐贈周年會的來信。出于政治和安全原因，他無法調整外出時間安排，否則他就會去了。不過他所做的一切村民們都永遠記得。

35.Study in America留學美國

Nannan’s father runs an enterprise near the Ming Tombs selling batteries and drills to the Daqing Oilfield. Hoping to get the qualification to help govern it, Nannan made much preparation and then left her motherland with her visa to study in America. Having reached her destination, she settled in an inn recommended by the travel agent.

As far as Nannan was concerned, she always kept it up in China. But she had to acknowledge it was not easy to adjust herself to the new academic requirements, which were not parallel with China’s. Though she was occupied with lectures and seminars day in and day out, the essays she drafted were still contradicted by her tutors. As for her routine life, she felt that it was hard to fit in, too. For example, she found English idioms difficult to understand. And it was out of the question to eat delicious Chinese foods though many optional cafeterias served abundant substitutes. In addition, she had to wait in a queue early for the minibus that took her to school and it was usually so cold that she felt numb. What bothered her most was that she received no apology when her sleeping was disturbed by a barking dog in a shopkeeper’s cage.

Luckily, with her parents comforting her by videophone, she became autonomous soon and eventually got her bachelor’s degree successfully.

楠楠的父親在明陵附近經營一家企業，銷售電池和鉆機到大慶油田。抱著獲得相應資格幫助管理的希望，楠楠做了大量準備，然后帶著簽證離開祖國去美國留學。抵達目的地后，她在一間旅行代理推薦的旅館安頓下來。

就楠楠而言，她在國內一直保持著良好的狀態，但是在國外，她卻不得不承認，要適應新學院的要求不容易，它們和國內的要求不相同。盡管她整天都忙著聽講座、參加研討會努力學習，她起草的論文還是被導師駁了回來。至于日常生活，她也感覺難于適應，例如，她發覺英語成語很難理解，而且不可能吃到地道的中國食品，盡管可選的許多餐館都有提供豐富的替代品。此外，她還得冒著把人凍得麻木的寒冷早起排隊等小型巴士去學校。最使她煩惱的是，一名店主籠子里的狗的吠叫鬧得她睡不好覺，但卻沒有任何人向她道歉。

幸運的是，在她父母通過可視電話的安慰下，她很快就鍛煉得自主獨立起來，并最終成功獲得了學士學位。

36.Immigrate to America移民美國

Attracted by the boom in America, my nephew teamed up with a Korean to illegally cross the Bearing Strait in the Arctic to America. To avoid the Customs’ punishment, they hid in a small ferry called the North Pole Seagull, sitting back to back without sleeping, showering and shaving for 3 days, and had no chance to mourn their lost luggage when landing. The hardship of this crossing was apparent.

At first, he made a living by means of raising cattle and then was hired in aircraft industries. He lived in a Catholic district. Taking in a small percentage of Pakistani immigrants, the majority of the residents were from Italy and Denmark, who all kept up their customs and cultures. Different blocks here were distinctly marked out and indicated from the racial angle. It was unfair and needed reforming. But with nowhere else to go, my nephew lived on and managed to make a life for himself.

My nephew’s fortune came when he bravely helped a conductor brake a ream to stop it from slipping out of the rails. The man was elected vice chairman of the Socialist Party later. It occurred to my nephew that he could grasp this opportunity to ask for his help. The man who was thankful helped him apply to the civil authority for the right to live in America by inserting his brave deed into his documents. Unlike a great many other applicants, his application was approved by the Federal Justice Ministry. Before long, he started his own bakery and lived a better life.

因為受到美國繁榮的吸引，我的侄子與一名韓國人合作，從北極的白令海峽偷渡到美國。為了避開海關的懲處，他們躲在一艘叫“北極海鷗”的渡輪里，背靠背坐著，整整3天沒有睡覺、洗澡和刮胡子，上岸的時候也沒有機會心痛他們丟失的行李，這次橫渡的艱辛是顯而易見的。

起初，他借助飼養牲畜謀生，后來受雇于飛機制造工業。他住的地方是一個天主教區，除了包括一小部分（百分比）的巴基斯坦移民，大部分的居民都來自于意大利和丹麥，他們都保持著自己的風俗和文化，使這里的街區都從種族的角度清楚地劃出界線，明確標示。這很不公平，極需改革，但我的侄子沒別的地方可去，只好繼續居住下去，想法設法開始新的生活。

我侄子的好運在他勇敢地幫助一名列車員剎停一列電車以防止其滑出軌道時到來了。那個人后來被選為社會黨的副主席，我侄子就想到應該抓住機會請求他的幫助。這個人充滿感激，立即把我侄子的勇敢事跡插入到申請文件中，幫助我侄子向美國國內政權當局申請美國居住權。不像別的許多申請人，我侄子的申請很快被聯邦司法部批準了。不久，他就開了自己的面包店，過上了稍好一點的生活。

37.Be Careful about Cloning

謹慎對待克隆

After a series of initial experiments and corrections, the scientist’s hard work paid off when the twin clone turkeys were hatched with normal feather and claws. This breakthrough possibly enabled people to bring their adored pets back to life. However, it bothered him from time to time that their health was in poor condition because they were unable to resist illnesses. This drawback cast him down. Merely 2 weeks later, the clones and their carrier died, which struck frustration into his heart. He retired before he attained his ambition and became a member of an opera chorus to relieve his depression.

Shortly afterwards, the media published a conservative argument objecting to cloning owing to moral problems, and suggested the constitution include compulsory regulations to forbid obtaining commercial profits from cloning.

When interviewed, the scientist stared at the decorations on the ceiling, thinking for a while, and then said, “I’m not in favour of any arbitrary assumption, but undertaking cloning does differ from the straightforward procedure of making loafs out of flour. Until we accumulate enough exact knowledge, any practice is in vain and is bound to fail. Altogether, being more careful is reasonable or we may walk into a side road.”

在最初一系列的實驗和修正之后，科學家的辛苦工作終于取得了成功，一對雙生的克隆火雞孵化出來，羽毛和爪子都很正常。這一突破或許能讓人們使他們喜愛的寵物死而復生。然而，使他不時地煩惱的是，因為它們無法抵抗疾病，使得它們的健康狀況極差。這個缺點讓他很沮喪。僅僅過了2個星期，克隆體和母體都死亡了，這使他內心里充滿了挫折，他也因此在達到自己目標前就退休了，并選擇加入歌劇合唱團來減輕消沉的感覺。

之后不久，媒體就因為道德問題而發表了反對克隆的保守論點，并且建議憲法應該包括強制性的法規禁止通過克隆獲得商業利益。

當被采訪時，科學家盯著天花板上的裝飾物思考了一會兒，說：“我不贊成任何任意的假設，但是從事克隆與用面粉制作面包的簡單過程確實不大相同。在我們積累了足夠的準確知識前，任何實際操作都是徒勞無功的，注定會失敗。總而言之，更加謹慎地對待克隆是合理的，否則我們或許會誤入歧途。”

38.Strange Patent Applications奇怪的專利申請

I set about working in the current Patent Office after resigning from the court personnel. Competent and dynamic, I never feel passive while diving into the identifications of whether applications are valid and practical according to the new version of the criteria. 從法院人事部辭職后，我開始在現在的專利局工作。我工作起來既稱職又有活力，在投身于根據新版的申請標準鑒定專利申請，以防他們無效或不實用時，我從未感覺到消極沒勁。

With the expectation of distinguishing their own importance, some people leave the beaten track and file strange products with us now and then, for example, lantern that can be attached on your forehead, cubic walnuts, refrigerator made of straw and glue, perfume that nobody can bear to smell, and so on. 為了顯示與眾不同，時不時就有人違反常規，向我們提交一些奇怪的產品申請，例如固定在前額的信號燈、立方體的胡桃、用稻草和膠水制作的冰箱、沒人能受得了的香水等

Once, a man made a triangle helicopter out of stainless wires and string. He called us up and merrily claimed it was stable and convenient to use, and never out of order. I asked him to hang on, but this innocent man just rang off and set out to fly from his courtyard. I dialed his number in the directory trying to ring him back, but never got through. 有一次，有個人用不銹鋼絲和繩子制作了一架三角形的直升飛機。他致電給我們，高興地聲稱其確實牢固，而且方便使用，從不發生故障。我請他稍等，但這個天真的人掛了電話就開始從院子里起飛。我撥打他在電話簿上的號碼試圖回電給他，卻無法接通。

Merciful God blessing, an abrupt freezing rainfall made his powder wet. Luckily, the trouble was without any extension except that he crashed into a greengrocer’s making all the ripe fruits become messy jam. When people seized this crazy man with caution and sobered him by tapping his face, he complained about the bad weather instead of associating his failure with his unscientific design.

仁慈的上帝保佑，一場突然降臨的凍雨打濕了他的火藥，使他造成的麻煩沒有擴大，只是撞入一間水果店，把所有成熟的水果都壓成一塌糊涂的果醬。當人們小心地抓住這個失去理智的人，輕輕拍打他的臉使他清醒過來時，他還在抱怨糟糕的壞天氣，卻沒有將他的失敗與他不科學的設計聯系起來。

39. Pronunciation and Status

口音與身份

An ambassador and a referee were consulting a professor on the caption of a Buddhistic alphabet when a sobbing woman stopped them to sell an antique musical bathtub. Her dirty garment and the handkerchief around her waist were badly in need of sending to a laundry. The ambassador uncomfortably gave her a handful of pence from his wallet and said, “Take this fortune away, troublesome woman.”

When her figure faded away, the brilliant professor said, “You are mistaken and your improper remark on her should be condemned. In terms of this extraordinary woman, you can’t classify her status by her horrible clothes or disgusting nails. Her clean woolen vest and stockings, especially her classic pronunciation, all suggested her upper status.” The ambassador gave a whistle in amazement, and advised making her acquaintance. The professor hesitated for a while, then compromised.

The outcome was that she was an authentic superior police officer. When they were shown in her office and saw her once more, she brought them a teapot of tea and some cookies, laughing and saying, “I rubbed some cream and wax on my garment and passed myself off as a shabby woman among thieves and robbers to investigate a plot. Generally speaking, your overlooking me and my adaptation are the best help. But my pronunciation seemed to have betrayed me.”

一位大使和一位裁判正在就一張佛教符號表的文字說明請教教授，這時，一名哭哭啼啼的女人把他們攔住，要賣給他們一個古董音樂澡盆，她骯臟的衣服和腰間的手帕都急需送到洗衣店清洗。大使很不舒服地從錢包里掏出一把便士說：“把這大筆錢拿走，麻煩的女人！”

等她的身影漸漸遠去，那位才華橫溢的教授說：“你錯了，你對她不適當的評論語應該受到譴責。就這個不同尋常的女人來說，你不能根據她糟糕的衣服或令人惡心的指甲給她的身份地位分類。她干凈的羊毛背心和襪子，尤其是她一流的發音，都暗示著她的上層身份?！贝笫贵@奇地吹了聲口哨，建議去認識她。教授猶豫了一會兒，最后妥協了。

結果呢，她真的是一位高級警官。當他們被帶進她的辦公室再次見到她時，她給他們拿來一壺茶和一些餅干，笑著說：“我把奶油和蠟涂在大衣上假扮成寒酸骯臟的女人混進在小偷和搶劫犯中間，是為了調查一宗陰謀。通常說來，你們對我的忽視和我對此的適應就是最好的幫助。但是我的發音似乎暴露了我啊。”

40. A Sly Murder

一宗狡猾的謀殺案

When giving a lecture about the significance of punctuation, the academic professor was interrupted and arrested by the police for murdering his wife, a receptionist of a kindergarten. The police found some photos he deleted from their e-album showing that they used to have a gay life. But, fed up with her wrinkled face, he murdered her instead of divorcing her to avoid fortune division. He cut up a kind of seashell with a sharpened knife, and hammered it into powder on a skateboard, and made at most one gram, which was enough to accelerate one’s pulse until he or she dies. This kind of poison can date back to 10,000 BC when people rubbed it on spears to kill beasts. The professor mixed the poison with onion, watermelon and yogurt for his wife. Howling and scratching her chest, she felt dizzy and died soon.

那位學院的教授在發表關于標點符號重要意義的演講時被警察打斷了，他因謀殺自己的妻子——一位幼兒園的接待員——而被逮捕。警察找到了一些被他從電子相冊里刪除的照片，照片表明，他們曾經有過快樂的生活，但是，因為厭煩了妻子起皺的臉，他殺死她而不是和她離婚以避免離婚時的財產分割。他用一把磨利的小刀切碎一種貝殼，然后在滑板上錘打成粉末，最多1克就足以加速人的脈搏直到其死亡。這種毒藥可以追溯到公元前10，000年，當時它就被涂抹在長予上殺死野獸。教授把這種毒藥混合在洋蔥、西瓜和酸奶里給他的妻子，后者叫喊、抓撓胸口、頭暈目眩，很快就死了。

After tentative examination, the police assumed she died of heart disease. But systematic botanical analyses showed that the watermelon spit on the messy mat and the quilt was poisonous. Regardless of exhaustion and starvation, the acute and skilful policemen used radioactive equipment to make sure the category of the poison. Primitive and not ample as their alternative equipment was, they got perfect accuracy somehow.

在初步檢查之后，警察設想她是死于心臟病。但是系統的植物學分析卻表明，吐在凌亂的席子和被子上的西瓜有毒。敏銳而又技術嫻熟的警察不顧疲勞和饑餓，用放射性的設備確定了毒素的種類。盡管可供選擇的設備原始，且數量不足，他們還是設法取得了完美的準確度。

People applauded the police and the woman’s family can look ahead with relief now.

人們都為警察歡呼鼓掌，而那位女人的家人現在也可以帶著欣慰為將來打算了。

If you find a fun and free activity at the weekend, then a Parkrun event is great for you, your family and friends. More than 2.5 million people in about 750 places around the world have run, jogged, walked or used a wheelchair to complete a Parkrun since it started 18 years ago.

Some people treat it like a race, but most enjoy just being outside, getting exercise and having a nice time with others. Parkruns and Junior Parkruns are set up in safe open places such as beaches, fields, forests and parks.

Parkruns happen on a Saturday and there are often special Parkruns on Christmas and New Year’s Day. A Parkrun covers a distance of 5 km and runners must register (注冊) once online before going for a run. Registering gives you a barcode(special printed numbers readable by a computer), which means your time is recorded when you do a Parkrun. Parkrun is fun for all ages, but if you are under 11, you must run with an adult.

Junior Parkruns happen on Sundays over a distance of 2 km and you need a registration and a barcode for those, too. You must be aged between 4 and 14 and you don’t have to run with an adult. Although adults can run and support you, they are asked not to run across the finish line. After completing 11, 21, 50 and then 100 Junior Parkruns, you can get a different coloured wristband to mark your achievement.

A teen runner Ralph says, “Junior Parkrun at the park in my neighborhood is a weekly highlight. I love all sports, but I find doing Parkrun every week builds up my fitness and energy. Run, jog or walk—Parkrun is a free, fun and friendly activity. It’s great meeting up with my friends and running the 2 km every week together.”

With the help of an adult, head to tinyurl.com/TWJ- parkrun for information and to find a Parkrun that takes place near you.

When you, as a child, first picked up a crayon, a line might have been the first mark you make. You use lines to write numbers, symbols, and the letters of the alphabet. The lines on a map help you find the best route from one place to another. You use lines to draw pictures.

▲ You can see lines in the grain (紋理) of a piece of wood or in the cracks on a sidewalk. You can see lines outside a building or in the field. Lines are used to create words, numbers, and symbols. They are also used to create art. In drawing, line is an element (要素) of art that is the path of a moving point through space.

Artists use lines to lead your eyes through a work of art. They create lines in many ways. A line can be drawn on paper with a pencil or scratched into wet clay with stick. Depending on its direction, a line can express different ideas or feelings. This is why line is an important element in the language of art.

Lines are used to express different images in Chinese calligraphic drawing. The word calligraphy means beautiful handwriting. In China, calligraphy is used to form characters (漢字) that represent the language. However, characters are more than just a letter of the alphabet. They are like pictures. They can represent an idea, an object, or a verbal sound. Calligraphic lines are usually made with brushstrokes that change from thin to thick in one stroke. To make a very thin line, artists use the tip of the brush. As you press on the brush and more of it touches the paper, the line becomes wider. (See the painting on the right, the long, flowing leaves of the orchid [蘭花] plant in the rocks are made with one flowing brushstroke. )

Now practice making calligraphic lines with ink or watercolor paint. Use brushes, both thin and thick, to draw a leaf or a vegetable with lines.

A. lines B. calligraphy C. paintings D. brushstrokes

When she was 14 years old, Remya Jose’s life was turned upside down by a family crisis（危機）.

Remya, who lived in a small village in India, learned that her mother was ill and her father would have to spend his time caring for her. As a result, she and her twin sister had to do most of the housework—including washing clothes. To make things even more difficult, the Jose family couldn’t afford an electric washing machine. Instead, the two girls would have to do the washing all by hand in the local river, and then carefully carry everything back to their home—a task that took several hours.

Being a good student interested in engineering, Remya wanted to make a washing machine which could be used without electricity. She started studying electric washers to learn how they worked. Remya then designed（設計）a machine that used bicycle pedals（踏板）and chain. To find those items, she and her father went to a local auto shop. Workers there not only gave her the parts, they helped her make the machine!

Here’s how the machine works: Remya used a cylinder （圓筒）to hold the clothes and put it in a cube（立方體）. Next, she connected the bicycle pedals and the chain to the cylinder. As Remya pushed the pedals with her legs, the cylinder cleaned the clothes just like a regular washing machine.

Remya’s invention worked! She had created her own human-powered washing machine—and now a task that used to take several hours took only 30 minutes. Remya’s washing machine was chosen from among 25,000 entries as India’s best innovation! She was given India’s National Award and honored by the nation’s former president.

The story of this young woman’s creative invention spread around the world.

“Remya Jose made a difference,” said Jeanine Thomas of The Borden Project, “Her invention saves time and money for the world’s poor. Her story shows that with creativity, one individual can improve the lives of many.”

27. What was Remya and her twin sister’s main problem?

A. Their parents were too busy.

B. They couldn’t get good education.

C. Their home was far from the river.

D. They spent much time washing clothes.

28. Which of the following best shows how Remya solved the problem?

①getting bicycle pedals and chains

②making a human-powered washer

③testing her machine by washing clothes

④studying how washing machines worked

A. ③①④② B. ④②①③ C. ①④③② D. ④①②③

【答案】例文：

Dear David,

Glad to share my social practice plan with you.

As it will be the last summer holiday in junior school, some classmates and I plan to go on a graduation trip to Hangzhou, the capital city of Zhejiang. By enjoying the beautiful scenery and colorful cultures there, we can open our eyes and bring some unforgettable memories. After the trip, I will volunteer to help in our city library, sorting out books, guiding readers to the right bookshelves, and of course, communicating with different people. I’m sure this experience can not only enrich my life but help me understand the true meaning of learning by doing.

Looking forward to your reply.

Yours,

Li Ming
