莫西干，我的兄弟埃里克阿克兰1.我发现莫西干的那年，春天比往年来得晚。

那天，我正和爷爷在叉鱼，突然我听到一阵微弱的叫声，原来是一只冻得发抖的狼崽。

2.我俯下身，他虚弱地向我挪动。

我把他抱了起来，把他裹在我的上衣里。

我喂了他几滴热牛奶后，小莫西干就缓了过来，向我摆了摆尾巴，很快他就吃饱了，身子也暖和起来了。

3.爷爷最终也同意我收养他。

4.那一年是我人生的第十四个年头，也是我一生中最快乐的一年。

5.倒不是说我们没遇到过麻烦。

莫西干是我见过最淘气的狼崽，他还对外界事物很有好奇心，比如他总想看看我奶奶的针线筐里有些什么东西，他因此打翻了针线筐，弄得满地都是线和纽扣。

这时，奶奶就会拿起扫帚把莫西干轰出去，他就乖乖地躲到墙角，探头探脑，等待事态平息下来。

6.那年夏天，我和莫西干成了打猎的伙伴，我们一起捕捉犹如冲入云霄的小火箭一般活蹦乱跳的蚱蜢。

到了秋天，下了第一场雪后，我们的游戏又换成了到近处的牧草地搜寻田鼠。

这时，莫西干已经是一支半大的狼了，他早已脱下了那身毛茸茸的软毛大衣，如今换上了件黑色的披风。

7.冬天很快到来，那几个月是我记忆中最快乐的日子，这是完全属于我与莫西干的美好时光。

我们常常在灌木丛里点起一堆篝火，莫西干的头伏在两个前爪之间，凝视着我，听我给他讲故事。

8.这一切使我快乐的忘乎所以了，结果一天晚上我把爷爷的再三嘱咐跑到了脑后，没有把莫西干拴起来。

第二天早上，叶斯诺太太气冲冲地找上门来，坚持要把莫西干给毙了，原来他夜里咬死了人家的公鸡。

第三天早上，爷爷说要把莫西干带到北边的猎棚里。

9.等我们来到猎棚附近的湖边时，莫西干似乎变得躁动起来。

他常常坐在湖边，鼻子冲天，头转来转去，似乎在探测风向。

10.屋里暖烘烘的炉火使我很快就睡着了，后来不知是怎么回事，我忽然激灵一下醒了过来，我坐起身来，此时屋里洒满月光，爷爷站在我身边。

“孩子，快过来看，”爷爷小声对我说。

11.外面是一轮满月，雪中的世界一片银白，他指了指湖边耸立的一块岩石，岩石最高处可以清晰地看到一只大狼的身影，它坐在那里一动不动，两耳竖起，警觉地听着什么。

大学生思辨英语教程精读1unit11使用说明

大学生思辨英语教程精读1unit11学习建议《语言与文化》使用说明传统的高中英语教学往往以词汇、语法等语言知识的掌握和运用为最重要甚至是唯一的目标，本套教材的编写理念与此不同，既注重学科性，又强调思辨性，以培养学生的思辨能力、语言运用能力、跨文化能力、交际能力和自主学习能力为宗旨。

在教材编写过程中，课文遴选和练习设计都紧扣这五大能力的各项指标(详见学生用书的Map of the book)，因此，我们建议教师在学期之初即相应地引导学生改变传统的学习理念，并在授课中自觉地以提高这五项能力为教学目标。

《语言与文化》共15个单元，分为三个模块:语言、文化、语言与文化的界面，涵盖了语言的本质、功能、习得、语言与思维、语言与性别、语言与政治、语言与媒体、全球化、价值观、文化中心主义、跨文化交际以及非语言交际等语言、文化和交流领域的重要话题。

各单元均以话题导入开始，每个单元包括两篇课文和四个部分的练习。

其中，Text A和Text B围绕同一个主题，相辅相成。

起点较高、学有余力的班级可以深入探讨两篇课文，而学时较少或起点较低的班级可以重点讲解Text A，让学生自己阅读Text B。

Preparatory work主要为培养学生的自主学习能力服务，教师在每个单元授课前应具体、明确地指定学生应完成的资料查阅、准备性练习、对课文内容的思考以及分组进行的讨论和合作研究。

此外，为了培养学生的自主学习能力和习惯，本套教材全四册都没有提供生词表，学生在每个单元的预习过程中应该自主完成查阅生词的任务、制作个性生词表。

我们建议教师在学期之初即统一说明这项工作的完成方式和检查方式。

Critical reading是本教材最具特色也是最为重要的练习。

编者参照Paul & Elder的思辨模型和Delphi的CT模型将该练习分为两个部分:Understanding thetext和Evaluation and exploration，前者以引导学生在阐释、分析中深度理解课文为目标，后者则更加注重评价、解释、推理和反思，以培养更高层次的批判性思维。

现代大学英语精读1课文翻译

第一单元我最初听到这个故事是在印度，那儿的人们今天讲起它来仍好像实有其事似的——尽管任何一位博物学家都知道这不可能是真的。

后来有人告诉我，在第一次世界大战之后不久就出现在一本杂志上。

但登在杂志上的那篇故事, 以及写那篇故事的人，我却一直未能找到。

故事发生在印度。

某殖民官员和他的夫人举行盛行的晚宴。

跟他们一起就座的客人有——军官和他人的夫人，另外还有一位来访的美国博物学家——筵席设在他们家宽敞的餐室里，室内大理石地板上没有铺地毯；屋顶明椽裸露；宽大的玻璃门外便是阳台。

席间，一位年轻的女士同一位少校展开了热烈的讨论。

年轻的女士认为，妇女已经有所进步，不再像过去那样一见到老鼠就吓得跳到椅子上；少校则不以为然。

“女人一遇到危急情况，”少校说，反应便是尖叫。

而男人虽然也可能想叫，但比起女人来，自制力却略胜一筹。

这多出来的一点自制力正是真正起作用的东西。

”那个美国人没有参加这场争论，他只是注视着在座的其他客人。

在他这样观察时，他发现女主人的脸上显出一种奇异的表情。

她两眼盯着正前方，脸部肌肉在微微抽搐。

她向站在座椅后面的印度男仆做了个手势，对他耳语了几句。

男仆两眼睁得大大的，迅速地离开了餐室。

在座的客人中，除了那位美国人以外论证也没有注意到这一幕，也没有看到那个男仆把一碗牛奶放在紧靠门边的阳台上。

那个美国人突然醒悟过来。

在印度，碗中的牛奶只有一个意思——引蛇的诱饵。

他意识到餐室里一定有条眼镜蛇。

他抬头看了看屋顶上的椽子——那是最可能有蛇藏身的地方——但那上面空荡荡的。

室内的三个角落里也是空的，而在第四个角落里，仆人们正在等着下一道菜。

这样，剩下的就只有一个地方了餐桌下面。

他首先想到的是往后一跳，并向其他人发警告。

但他知道这样会引起骚乱，致使眼镜索受惊咬人。

于是他很快讲了一通话，其语气非常威严，竟使所有的人安静了下来。

我想了解一下在座的诸位到底有多大的克制能力，我数三百下——也就五分钟——你们谁都不许动一动。

Lesson Eight The Kindness of StrangersMike Mclntyre1。

One summer I was driving from my home town of Tahoe City, Calif，to New Orleans。

In the middle of the desert，I came upon a young man standing by the roadside. He had his thumb out and held a gas can in his other hand. I drove right by him。

There was a time in the country when you' d be considered a jerk if you passed by somebody in need. Now you are a fool for helping. With gangs, drug addicts, murderers, rapists, thieves lurking everywhere，"I don’t want to get involved” has become a national motto.2。

Several states later I was still thinking about the hitchhiker。

Leaving him stranded in the desert did not bother me so much。

What bothered me was how easily I had reached the decision。

I never even lifted my foot off the accelerator。

3。

Does anyone stop any more？I wondered. I recalled Blanche DuBois’s famous line: "I have always depe nded on the kindness of strangers。

我身上穿的，戴的全是新的：黑鞋子，绿校服，红帽子。

然儿我一点儿也高兴不起来，因为今天我将第一次被扔到学校里去。

2 母亲站在窗前望着我们缓缓前行，我也不时的回头看她，希望她会救我。

我们沿着街道走着，街道两旁是花园和田野，田野里栽满了梨树和椰枣树。

3 “我为什么要去上学？”我问父亲，“是我做错了什么了吗？”4 “我不是在惩罚你，”父亲笑着说道，“上学不是一种惩罚。

学校是把孩子培养成才的地方。

难道你不想象你哥哥们那样，成为一个有用的人吗？”5 我不相信他的话。

我才不相信把我从家里拽出来，扔进那个大大的，高墙围绕的建筑里对我有什么真正的好处呢。

6 到了学校门口，我们看到了宽阔的庭院，站满了孩子。

“自己进去吧，”我父亲说，“加入他们。

笑一笑，给其他的孩子做个好榜样。

”7 我紧抓着父亲的手，犹豫不决。

但是父亲却把我轻轻地推开了。

“拿出点男子气概来，”他说，“从今天起你就要真正开始自己的生活了。

放学时我会在这等你的。

”8 我走了几步，便看见了一些孩子的面孔。

他们中我一个也不认识。

他们也没有一个认识我的。

我感觉自己像是一个迷了路的陌生人。

然而这时有些男孩开始好奇的打量我，其中一个走过来问到，“谁带你来的？”9 “我爸爸”我小声说道。

10 “我爸爸死了，”他简短地说。

11 我不知道该说些什么。

这时学校的门已经关上了，有些孩子哭了起来。

接着，铃响了，一位女士走了过来，后面跟着一群男人。

那些人把我们排成几行。

使我们形成一个错综复杂的队行，站在那四周高楼耸立的院子里。

每层楼都有长长的阳台，阳台上带有木制顶棚，从阳台上可以俯视到我们。

一切能带给你们快乐，对你们有益的事物，这儿都有。

现代大学英语精读1课本内容及翻译Lesson One Half a DayNaguib Mahfous1. I walked alongside my father, clutching his right hand. All my clothes were new: the black shoes, the green school uniform, and the red cap. They did not make me happy, however, as this was the day I was to be thrown into school for the first time.2. My mother stood at the window watching our progress, and I turned towards her from time to time, hoping she would help.We walked along a street lined with gardens, and fields planted with crops: pears, and date palms.3. "Why school ?" I asked my father. "What have I done ?"4. "I'm not punishing you, " he said, laughing. "School's nota punishment. It's a place that makes useful men out of boys.Don' t you want to be useful like your brothers?"5. I was not convinced. I did not believe there was really any good to be had in tearing me away from my home and throwing me into the huge, high-walled building.6. When we arrived at the gate we could see the courtyard, vast and full of boys and girls. "Go in by yourself, " said my father, "and join them. Put a smile on your face and be a good example to others. "7. I hesitated and clung to his hand, but he gently pushed me from him. "Be a man, " he said. "Today you truly begin life.You will find me waiting for you when it's time to leave. "8. I took a few steps. Then the faces of the boys and girls came into view. I did not know a single one of them, and none of them knew me. I felt I was a stranger who had lost his way.But then some boys began to glance at me in curiosity, and one of them came over and asked, "Who brought you?"9. "My father, " I whispered.10. "My father's dead, " he said simply.11. I did not know what to say. The gate was now closed. Some of the children burst into tears. The bell rang. A lady came along, followed by a group of men. The men began sorting us into ranks. We were formed into an intricate pattern in the great courtyard surrounded by high buildings; from each floor we were overlooked by a long balcony roofed in wood.12. "This is your new home, "said the woman. "There are mothers and fathers here, too. Everything that is enjoyable and beneficial is here. So dry your tears and face life joyfully. "13. Well, it seemed that my misgivings had had no basis. From the first moments I made many friends and fell in love with many girls. I had never imagined school would have this rich variety of experiences.14. We played all sorts of games. In the music room we sang our first songs. We also had our first introduction to language.We saw a globe of the Earth, which revolved and showed the various continents and countries. We started learning numbers, and we were told the story of the Creator of the universe. We ate delicious food, took a little nap, and woke up to go on with friendship and love, playing and learning.15. Our path, however, was not totally sweet and unclouded. We had to be observant and patient. It was not all a matter of playing and fooling around. Rivalries could bring about pain and hatred or give rise to fighting. And while the lady would sometimes smile, she would often yell and scold. Even more frequently she would resort to physical punishment.16. In addition, the time for changing one' s mind was over and gone and there was no question of ever returning to the paradise of home. Nothing lay ahead of us but exertion, struggle, and perseverance. Those who were able took advantage of the opportunities for success and happiness that presented themselves.17. The bell rang, announcing the passing of the day and the end of work. The children rushed toward the gate, which was opened again. I said goodbye to friends and sweethearts and passed through the gate. I looked around but found no trace of my father, who had promised to be there. I stepped aside to wait. When I had waited for a long time in vain, I decided to return home on my own. I walked a few steps, then came to a startled halt. Good Lord! Where was the street lined with gardens? Where had it disappeared to? When did all these cars invade it? And when did all these people come to rest on its surface? How did these hills of rubbish find their way to cover its sides? And where were the fields that bordered it? High buildings had taken over, the street was full of children, and disturbing noises shook the air. Here and there stood conjurers showing off their tricks or making snakes appear from baskets. Then there was a band announcing the opening of a circus, with clowns and weight lifters walking in front.18. Good God! I was in a daze. My head spun. I almost went crazy. How could all this have happened in half a day, between early morning and sunset? I would find the answer at home with my father. But where was my home? I hurried towards the crossroads, because I remembered that I had to cross the street to reach our house, but the stream of cars would not let up.Extremely irritated, I wondered when I would be able to cross.19. I stood there a long time, until the young boy employed at the ironing shop on the corner came up to me.20. He stretched out his arm and said, "Grandpa, let me take you across."第一课半日1我走在父亲的一侧，牢牢地抓着他的右手。

UNIT 1As we are at the start of the course, this seems a good moment to offer some advice on how to make the task of learning English easier.课程开始之际，就如何使学习英语的任务更容易提出一些建议似乎正当其时。

Some Strategies for Learning EnglishLearning English is by no means easy. It takes great diligence and prolonged effort.学习英语绝非易事。

它需要刻苦和长期努力。

Nevertheless, while you cannot expect to gain a good command of English without sustained hard work, there are various helpful learning strategies you can employ to make the task easier. Here are some of them.虽然不经过持续的刻苦努力便不能期望精通英语，然而还是有各种有用的学习策略可以用来使这一任务变得容易一些。

以下便是其中的几种。

1. Do not treat all new words in exactly the same way. Have you ever complained about your memory because you find it simply impossible to memorize all the new words you are learning? But, in fact, it is not your memory that is at fault. If you cram your head with too many new words at a time, some of them are bound to be crowded out. What you need to do is to deal with new words in different ways according to how frequently they occur in everyday use. While active words demand constant practice and useful words must be committed to memory, words that do not often occur in everyday situations require just a nodding acquaintance. You will find concentrating on active and useful words the most effective route to enlarging your vocabulary.1. 不要以完全同样的方式对待所有的生词。

课文翻译（Unit1——10）第一单元Translation of Text A半日1我走在父亲的一侧，牢牢地抓着他的右手。

我身上穿的，戴的全是新的：黑鞋子，绿校服，红帽子。

然儿我一点儿也高兴不起来，因为今天我将第一次被扔到学校里去。

2母亲站在窗前望着我们缓缓前行，我也不时的回头看她，希望她会救我。

我们沿着街道走着，街道两旁是花园和田野，田野里栽满了梨树和椰枣树。

3“我为什么要去上学？”我问父亲，“是我做错了什么了吗？”4“我不是在惩罚你，”父亲笑着说道，“上学不是一种惩罚。

学校是把孩子培养成才的地方。

难道你不想象你哥哥们那样，成为一个有用的人吗？”5我不相信他的话。

我才不相信把我从家里拽出来，扔进那个大大的，高墙围绕的建筑里对我有什么真正的好处呢。

6到了学校门口，我们看到了宽阔的庭院，站满了孩子。

“自己进去吧，”我父亲说，“加入他们。

笑一笑，给其他的孩子做个好榜样。

”7我紧抓着父亲的手，犹豫不决。

但是父亲却把我轻轻地推开了。

“拿出点男子气概来，”他说，“从今天起你就要真正开始自己的生活了。

放学时我会在这等你的。

”8我走了几步，便看见了一些孩子的面孔。

他们中我一个也不认识。

他们也没有一个认识我的。

我感觉自己像是一个迷了路的陌生人。

然而这时有些男孩开始好奇的打量我，其中一个走过来问到，“谁带你来的？”9“我爸爸”我小声说道。

10“我爸爸死了，”他简短地说。

11我不知道该说些什么。

这时学校的门已经关上了，有些孩子哭了起来。

接着，铃响了，一位女士走了过来，后面跟着一群男人。

那些人把我们排成几行。

使我们形成一个错综复杂的队行，站在那四周高楼耸立的院子里。

每层楼都有长长的阳台，阳台上带有木制顶棚，从阳台上可以俯视到我们。

12“这是你们的新家，”那位女士说道，“这儿有你们的父母。

一切能带给你们快乐，对你们有益的事物，这儿都有。

因此擦干你们的眼泪，快快乐乐地面对生活。

”13这样看来我之前的顾虑都是毫无根据的了。
