1. Fall in Love with English

（爱上英语）

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 leaming 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.

有个少年(teenager)躲在积满灰尘(dusty)的松散(loose)窗帘(curtain)后把大衣(overcoat)装入(packed up)手提箱(suitcase)。尽管外面(outdoors)正雷鸣闪电(thunder and lighting),他仍计划在黄昏(at dusk)时分离家出走。他不得不(had got to do)这样做是因为厌倦了(be tired of)父母对他英语学习的唠叨(nag),不想再忍受(go through)下去了。他的英语学习总是无法取得进展(get along well with与······友好相处), 而且不喜欢(dislike)参加(join in)英语课的学习,因为他以为老师有意忽视他。

结果,他每次考试的分数合计从未超过60。

他的搭档（partner）很关心（be concerned about)他,也确切地(exactly)理解他遭受(suffer from)的折磨, 但却完全(entirely)不同意(disagree)他的想法。为了(In order to)使他冷静(calm···down)下来好好解决(settle)问題,她和他面对面(face to face)地交谈,并交换(swap)了一系列(a series of)的学习心得技巧。她写下来(set down)的条款(item)帮助他找到了学好英语的最佳捷径(highway)。

这个少年非常感激(grateful), 并从朋友的话里获得极大的动力(power)。现在，他已经从沮丧(upset)中恢复(recover from)过来, 真正爱上(fall in love with)了英语。

2. Different Countries Have Different Kinds of Englishes

（不同的国家有不同的英语）

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.

英国人的航海(voyage)在英语的传播中扮演了重要的角色(play an important part in)。目前(at present), 英语在许多国家被作为官方(official)语言或通用语言频繁地(frequently)使用, 例如(such as)美国、新加波(Singapore)、马来西亚(Malaysia)和一些非洲的(African)国家。这些国家的英语都以英式英语为基础(based on), 能很好地为以英语为本族语的(native)人所理解。但是实际上(actually), 这些英语在口音(accent)、拼写(spelling)、表达(expression)和词汇(vocabulary)的使用(usage)方面都在逐渐(gradually)变化。

因为(because of)这一情况的存在, 你就可以利用(make use of)这些英语之间的区别说出你们街区的(block)外国人是哪个国家来的了。例如, 如果有个老板流利地(fluently)命令(command)他的司机：“Come up straight to my apartment by elevator and take some gas for my trucks and cabs(直接(come on straight)搭电梯(elevator)到我公寓(apartment)上来拿卡车和出租车(cab)的汽油(gas)”, 而不是要求(request)说, “ Please come to my flat by lift and take some petrol for my lorries and taxis(请直接搭电梯(lift)到我公寓(flat)上来拿卡车(lorry)和出租车的汽油(petrol)) ”, 你就可以轻易地辨认(recognize)出他的美国人身份(identity), 而后者(latter)却暗示(suggest)着那是一位英国人。(请注意:听力录音里第二段两个“电梯”的单词跟原文不一致,原文是对的,录音弄错了, elevato才是美式说法而i是英式说法。)

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 he 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 joumey. 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!

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.

7. A Fair Competition

（公平的比赛）

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!更强!”代表(_________)着奥运精神。但是公平(_____________)却是这一格言(_______)的基础(________)。只有当你公平地赢得比赛, 你和你的祖国(________)才值得(_____)这样的光荣(_________)。但如今(________), 不像古代(__________)那些诚实的奴隶(_____________)参赛者(__________), 有些没有希望的(__________)运动员(_________)无法承受训练的痛苦(_______), 于是在参加(__________)比赛时作假(________)。奖牌(_______)似乎有某种魔力(_______)使他们作假, 奖金也已经代替(_________)了奥运格言成为了他们唯一的目标。

因此, 在我们市下个月即将举行的一场体操赛(___________)事中, 主办方(_________)的其中项责任(_________)就是要确保比赛的公平。他们在体育场(____________)外的海报(____________)上做广告(_________), 承诺说每个参赛者都将在体育馆(___________)一个一个地(________________)参加常规的(_________)身体(_________)检查。对此没有人可以过价还价(__________)。负责(_______)此事的志愿者(__________)将非常严格。作假是很愚蠢的(__________), 因为他们将不被允许(_____)去竞赛(_______), 甚至还(________)将被罚款(________)。

8. Computers

（电脑）

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.

早期计算(________)机器的目的(________)是简化(_________)比较难的计算(__________)。但是在新技术的(_________)帮助下(________), 电子(________)芯片(________)代替了电子(_____)管(___), 一场人工智能(_______________)革命(___________)由此升起。从那时起(________________), 电脑的出现(_________)完全(________)改变了我们的生活, 它们不仅能在网络(________)或移动(_______)电话信号(_________)的连接下从网上(________)下载(_________)信息, 而且可以解决(________)各种类型(__________)的逻辑(__________)问题。在操作员(__________)的教练(_________)下, 它们甚至还可以控制火箭(_________)探索(_________)月球, 指导(__________)具有人类(______)性格(______)的机器人(__________)擦冼(__________)地板和照顾(__________)你调皮的(__________)侄女(______)。不管怎么说(___________), 电脑都是如此的有用(______________________), 以致的确给人们带来了快乐(_________)。

就个人而言(_____________), 我很担心(____________)电脑在某些领域, 例如金融(__________)方面的广泛应用(____________)。

9.Wildlife Protection

（保护野生动植物）

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.

恐龙(________)因一次意外(________)事件(__________)而灭绝((___________), 但是今天的野生动植物(_________)却是因为人类的伤害(__________)而消失(_________)或处在危险中(___________)。例如, 老虎被猎杀(_________)以获取做地毯(________)的皮毛(________), 以至(________)它们只能生活在安全的(________)保护区(________)里; 草地(_________)被毫不怜悯(________)地破坏(______), 以至沙(_______)尘暴开始影响(__________)遥远的(_________)城市。

去年, 科学家观察到猴子在身上擦(_________)某种(_______)昆虫(________)来保护(________)自己不受凶猛的(_________)蚊子(_________)的叮咬(_______)。根据(________)检查(________)的结果, 他们发现这种昆虫含有(___________)一种具有(________)强大效力的(___________)药物(_________), 于是, 当地的农民都被雇(________)来抓虫子。结果(__________)是, 这种昆虫从这整个地区(______)都消失了。当被告知说这是整个人类的损失(___________)时, 农民们都突然大笑(_____________)着回应(___________)道: “我们减少的(__________)收入(__________)才是我们真正的损失呢!”

我们应该意识到(___________)自然平衡的重要(__________), 更加注意(_________)野生动植物的保护(____________)。直到我们成功(___________)让野生动植物安详平静(___________)地生活, 我们自己才能如释重负(_____________)地笑开颜。

10.My First Band

(我的第一支乐队)

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.

我对音乐很敏感(________), 只要简要地(_________)浏览(__________)一下乐谱, 我就能演唱或演奏得很好。说实话(_____________), 我一直都梦想(__________)着成为出名的民间(____________)演员(_______), 自信的(_________)我从未减少过热爱(_________)。

我组成(_________)的第一支乐队叫做“摇滚(________)蛙”。开始, 我们依靠(______________)在酒吧(_______)里或向路人(________)表演(________)乐器(_________)来赚(________)些额外的(_____)现金(_______)。然后我们带上假(________)胡子(_______)假扮(________)人们熟悉的(____________)音乐家(_______)。除此之外(_______), 我们在表演(_________)中加上(_______)幽默的(___________)动作, 互相开着玩笑(____________________)。很快,我们的 “滑稽爵士乐(___________)” 出了名, 到广播(__________)电台表演的邀请(__________)开始多起来随后。随后(_____________)，我们把我们吸引人的(___________)音乐做了分类(_____________), 在一间音乐工作室(_________)录制了1张唱片, 大约(__________)卖出了100万张, 这使我们都成了百万土豪(__________)。
