Unit 5 MusicTHE BAND THAT WASN'T(34 页)Have you ever wanted to be part of a band as a famous singer or musician? Have you ever dreamed of playing in front of thousands of people at a concert, at which everyone is clapping and appreciating your music? Do you sing karaoke and pretend you are a famous singer like SongZuying or Liu Huan? To be honest, a lot of people attach great importance to becoming rich and famous. But just how do people form a band?Many musicians meet and form a band because they like to write and play their own music.They may start as a group of high-school students, for whom practicing their music in someone's house is the first step to fame. Sometimes they may play to passers-by in the street or subway sothat they can earn some extra money for themselves or to pay for their instruments. Later they may give performances in pubs or clubs, for which they are paid in cash. Of course they hope to make records in a studio and sell millions of copies to become millionaires!However, there was one band that started in a different way. It was called the Monkees and began as a TV show. The musicians were to play jokes on each other as well as play music, most of which was based loosely on the Beatles. The TV organizers had planned to find four musicians who could act as well as sing. They put an advertisement in a newspaper looking for rock musicians, but they could only findone who was good enough. They had to use actors for the other three members of the band.As some of these actors could not sing well enough, they had to rely on other musicians to help them. So during the broadcasts they just pretended to sing. Anyhow their performances were humorous enough to be copied by other groups. They were so popular that their fans formed clubs in order to get more familiar with them. Each week on TV, the Monkees would play and sing songs written by other musicians. However, after a year or so in which they became more serious about their work, the Monkees started to play and sing their own songs like a real band. Then they produced their own records and started touring and playing their own music. In the USA they became even more popular than the Beatles and sold even more records. The band broke up about 1970, but happily they reunited in the mid-1980s. They produced a new record in 1996, with which they celebrated their former time as a real band.并非乐队的乐队你曾经想过要成为一个乐队里有名的歌手或音乐家吗?你是否曾梦想过在音乐会上面对成千上万的观众演唱,观众欣赏你的歌唱为你鼓掌吗?你唱卡拉OK 时是否假装自己就是像宋祖英或刘欢一样著名的歌星吗?说实在的,很多人把名和利看得很重。

高中英语必修2(人教版)Unit1 Cultural relicsIN SEARCH OF THE AMBER ROOMFrederick William I, the King of Prussia, could never have imagined that his greatest gift to the Russian people would have such an amazing history. This gift was the Amber Room, which was given this name because several tons of amber were used to make it. The amber which was selected had a beautiful yellow-brown colour like honey. The design of the room was in the fancy style popular in those days. It was also a treasure decorated with gold and jewels, which took the country's best artists about ten years to make.In fact, the room was not made to be a gift. It was designed for the palace of Frederick I. However, the next King of Prussia, Frederick William I, to whom the amber room belonged, decided not to keep it. In 1716 he gave it to Peter the Great. In return, the Czar sent him a troop of his best soldiers. So the Amber Room became part of the Czar's winter palace in St Petersburg. About four metres long, the room served as a small reception hall for important visitors.Later, Catherine II had the Amber Room moved to a palace outside St Petersburg where she spent her summers. She told her artists to add more details to it. In 1770 the room was completed the way she wanted. Almost six hundred candles lit the room, and its mirrors and pictures shone like gold. Sadly, although the Amber Room was considered one of the wonders of the world, it is now missing.In September 1941, the Nazi army was near St Petersburg. This was a time when the two countries were at war. Before the Nazis could get to the summer palace, the Russians were able to remove some furniture and small art objects from the Amber Room. However, some of the Nazis secretly stole the room itself. In less than two days 100,000 pieces were put inside twenty-seven wooden boxes. There is no doubt that the boxes were then puton a train for Konigsberg, which was at that time a German city on the Baltic Sea. After that, what happened to the Amber Room remains a mystery.Recently, the Russians and Germans have built a new Amber Room at the summer palace. By studying old photos of the former Amber Room, they have made the new one look like the old one. In 2003 it was ready for the people of St Petersburg when they celebrated the 300th birthday of their city.A FACT OR AN OPINION?What is a fact? Is it something that people believe? No. A fact is anything that can be proved. For example, it can be proved that China has more people than any other country in the world. This is a fact.Then what is an opinion? An opinion is what someone believes is true but has not been proved. So an opinion is not good evidence in a trial. For example, it is an opinion if you say “Cats are better pets than dogs”. It may be true, but it is difficult to prove. Some people may not agree with this opinion but they also cannot prove that they are right.In a trial, a judge must decide which eyewitnesses to believe and which not to believe. The judge does not consider what each eyewitness looks like or where that person lives or works. He/she only cares about whether the eyewitness has given true information, which must be facts rather than opinions. This kind of information is called evidence.第一单元文化遗产阅读一寻找琥珀普鲁士国王腓特烈·威廉一世从未想过他送个普鲁士人民伟大的礼物会有一点如此惊奇的历史。

1.HOW DAISY LEARNED TO HELP WLDLIFE(26页)Daisy had always longed to help endangered species of wildlife. One day she woke up and found a flying carpet by her bed. "Where do you want to go?" it asked. Daisy responded immediately. "I'd like to see some endangered wildlife," she said. "Please take me to a distant land where I can find the animal that gave fur to make this sweater." At once the carpet flew away and took her to Tibet. There Daisy saw an antelope looking sad. It said, "We're being killed for the wool beneath our stomachs. Our fur is being used to make sweaters for people like you. As a result, we are now an endangered species." At that Daisy cried, "I'm sorry I didn't know that. I wonder what is being done to help you. Flying carpet, please show me a place where there's some wildlife protection."The flying carpet travelled so fast that next minute they were in Zimbabwe. Daisy turned around and found that she was being watched by an elephant. "Have you come to take my photo?" it asked. In relief Daisy burst into laughter. "Don't laugh,”said the elephant, "We used to be an endangered species. Farmers hunted us without mercy. They said we destroyed their farms, and money from tourists only went to the large tour companies. So the government decided to help. They allowed tourists to hunt only a certain number of animals if they paid the farmers. Now the farmers are happy and our numbers are increasing. So good things are being done here to save local wildlife."Daisy smiled. "That's good news. It shows the importance of wildlife protection, but I'd like to help as the WWF suggests." The carpet rose again and almost at once they were in a thick rainforest. A monkey watched them as it rubbed itself. "What are you doing?" asked Daisy. ”I’m protecting myself from mosquitoes," it replied. "When I find a millipede insect, I rub it over my body. It contains a powerful drug which affects mosquitoes. You should pay more attention to the rainforest where I live and appreciate how the animals live together. No rainforest, no animals, no drugs."Daisy was amazed. "Flying carpet, please take me home so I can tell WWF and we can begin producing this new drug. Monkey, please come and help." The monkey agreed. The carpet flew home. As they landed, things began to disappear. Two minutes later everything had gone - the monkey, too. So Daisy was not able to make her new drug. But what an experience! She had learned so much! And there was always WWF…第四单元阅读一Daisy如何学习去帮助野生动物Daisy常常渴望去帮助濒临灭绝的种类的野生动物。

Mr. Thomson. I missed the first class yesterday because I forgot the exact time of the class. I thought it was in the afternoon, so I came here too late.M: That’s OK. Come in, Bella.W: Thank you, Mr. Thomson.Text7M: Excuse me. Do you know where the Central Bank is? I just got off Bus No.8, but I can’t find the place.W: Well, you must have taken the wrong bus. The Central Bank is 15 miles from here.M: Oh, that’s so sad. Could you ple ase tell me how I can get there? I’m kind of confused.W: Of course.

How do you deal with your old clothes? Do you donate them or just throw them away?W: I put them in the recycling bin. And I hope they’re going to be changed into something useful or used by someone who needs them.M: That’s a good idea. What about furniture? How often do you get a new piece of furniture?W: Seldom. I am satisfied with what I’ve got. It’s such a waste to throw away large stuff. Actually, I didn’t get any new furniture when I got married. I remember the last time I bought new furniture was when I gave birth to Mary. M: Golly, how could you bear to use the old things for so long? Mary is twelve, right?W: Yeah, she’ll be thirteen next month.Text 9W: With all the advances in social media these days, there are still many people who often feel lonely.M: Yes. People feel lonely for a number of reasons, including social awkwardness and isolation.W: Some people may even feel lonely when they are surrounded by people because they don’t have meaningful connections with those people.M: What exactly should they do?W: Well, I think the first thing they have to d o is to identify the reasons why they feel lonely.M: I agree with you. Meeting new people and learning to enjoy their moments of being alone are also wonderful things.W: What do you usually do when you feel lonely?M: I usually write a journal to record my thoughts and feelings. I’ve gotten into the habit of keeping a journal now. At first it took me an hour to write my journal every day, but now it only takes me 20 minutes. What about you? W: I deal with loneliness in many ways, including getting together with my family, reading novels, etc. But my favorite way is to think deeply in silence, which makes me very relaxed.Text 10M: As I watched the movie and searched for ideas for our new tour, I saw a social media post from my friend saying that he was stressed and he couldn’t sleep at night. But when he was traveling on the bus, he was able to sleep well. His post inspired us to create this tour that lets passengers just sleep on the bus.Tickets cost between $13 to $51 per person, depending on whether they choose seats on the first or second floor. A bag for passengers includes an eye-mask and earplugs for better sleep.And why do many people feel more likely to fall asleep on transport? The first is white noise. Cars and other vehicles are a perfect environment that produces white noise. White noise masks annoying sounds, and is helpful for people who have trouble getting sleep. Another popular view is that the rocking motion is similar to what put us to sleep when we were babies. Last is the increase in carbon dioxide in public transportation. This reduces oxygen to the brain and slows it down.。

They’ll be able to do the housework—even feed the cat! They’ll be able to talk to other machines in your house.W: Finally, do you think robots will control the world, like in the movies?M: No. Humans and robots will have to work together, because they’ll need each other. So you should be optimistic about that.(Text 10)M: Welcome to today’s programme. Now I’m going to tell you something about Hina Maturi. It’s a one-day festival, and many Japanese girls take part in the festival each year on 3rd March. Hina Matsuri means “little doll” and it is a festival which is completely about dolls.These dolls aren’t something you just play with like a Barbie or something like that, rather, they aren’t something that you display. Lots of girls are given a set of dolls when they are born, often by their grandparents, or else there are dolls which have been in the family for generations, or else there are dolls which have been in the family for generations. The idea is that the dolls are used to teach the girls about the traditional values.There’s one more thing I must say about the dolls. Some Japanese believe you can pass illness or bad luck to one of these dolls. The dolls are put into boat and taken down to the sea by people wearing traditional costumes. The idea is any bad luck or illness of the girls taken away with the doll. Over the years it has become a popular sight, and more and more people come to watch the ceremony.。

人教版必修二英语听力材料As an AI language model, I can't provide the specific listening materials from the People's Education Press. However, I can discuss the importance of English listening materials and provide some general tips for improving English listening skills.English listening materials are essential for language learners as they provide exposure to authentic spoken English. These materials can include a variety of sources such as podcasts, news broadcasts, interviews, and conversations. By listening to these materials, learners can improve their comprehension skills, vocabulary, and pronunciation.One of the key benefits of using English listening materials is that they expose learners to different accents and speaking styles. This is particularly important for learners who may not have regular opportunities to interact with native English speakers. By listening to a range ofvoices, learners can become more comfortable understanding and communicating with people from diverse linguistic backgrounds.In addition, English listening materials can help learners develop their listening strategies. For example, they can learn to identify key information, understand the main idea of a conversation or lecture, and recognize specific details. These skills are crucial for success in academic, professional, and social settings where listening comprehension is essential.Furthermore, English listening materials can also help learners improve their speaking and pronunciation skills.By listening to how words and phrases are pronounced in different contexts, learners can develop a better sense of natural intonation and rhythm. They can also practice repeating and imitating what they hear, which can help them become more confident and fluent speakers.To make the most of English listening materials,learners should engage with a variety of sources and topics.For example, they can listen to different genres such as news, entertainment, education, and personal development. This can help them develop a broad vocabulary and become familiar with different communication styles.In conclusion, English listening materials are a valuable resource for language learners. They provide exposure to authentic spoken English, help developlistening strategies, and improve speaking and pronunciation skills. By engaging with a variety of sources and topics, learners can make significant progress in their language proficiency.。

First it’s about the noise, now about this.W:Then why don’t you look around for another place?M:I have already started. I looked in a paper this morning. But most of the places are too far out of the town for me. W:You know, maybe I can ask my landlady whether there are any spare rooms in the building I live in. The rooms are small, but the landlady is very kind. You can do whatever you like.M:Good. Thank you for your kindness. I hope I can hear good news from you soon.(Text 7)W:Dear, I have to go to the office early today. Can you take Sally to school?M:Sure. Want me to give you a ride?W:No, forget it. I’ll just take the subway. It’s very quick. I’ll pick Sally up this afternoon. You can just come home after work.M:OK. Oh, I almost forgot. I probably won’t be back for supper. I’ve made an evening appointment with Mr Steven to talk about our next project.W:Oh, I see. I’ve got to run. Hurry Sally up a little. She hasn’t even had her breakfast yet.M:OK. Don’t worr y. Love you, honey.W:I love you, too. See you this evening.(Text 8)M: Oh, Mary, come over and sit here. Your annual report is well done. I heard that you did it within just two days. W:Yeah. But I’ve received a lot of help from my colleagues.M:I know y ou’re a capable person. The others couldn’t have helped you much. They had their own work to do.W:Thank you for saying that. But I don’t always do a good job. I’ve been thinking that you must still be angry with me for the wrong figures I gave you the day before yesterday.M:Take it easy. Everyone makes mistakes. However, be more careful next time. You have a bright future ahead of you. W:Thank you so much for your encouragement, Mr Chandler. I will do my best.(Text 9)M:Where to, Miss?W:Diamond Hotel on Beach Street. How much do you think the fare will be?M:Well, about three dollars. I can’t tell exactly, but no matter how much it is, it’ll show on the meter.W:I took a taxi yesterday from the train station to Diamond Hotel, and the driver charged me six dollars.M:I wouldn’t do that, Miss. Any taxi driver would lose his license if he got caught doing a thing like that.W:I didn’t know that.M:Now you know. Are you new in this city?W:Yes. I’ll probably stay here for another two weeks.M:In that c ase, you can try to call a taxi company to send you a taxi next time when you need one. That’ll certainly make you feel safer...Here you are, Diamond Hotel.W:Thank you for the advice. How much is it?M:Two dollars and ninety eight cents.W:Here is three dollars. Keep the change.(Text 10)Lydia intended to walk to Meryton that morning, and every sister except Mary, who preferred to read, agreed to go with her. When they entered Meryton, the attention of the sisters was drawn by the crowds of people. And their attention was soon caught by a young man whom they had never seen before. He was of a most handsome appearance and was walking with an officer on the other side of the road. All were struck with the stranger’s manners. Kitty and Lydia knew the officer, and determined to find out if possible who his friend was. They led their way across the street, pretending to see something in a shop opposite, and had just reached the pathway when the two gentlemen arrived at the same place. Mr Denny, the officer, greeted them directly and begged permission to introduce his friend, Mr Wickham, who had just joined the army.试题答案1~5 BACAB 6~10 ACCBB 11~15 AACAB 16~20 CBBAC21~25 BBACD 26~30 DCDCA 31~35 DBBDA36~40 CBABC 41~45 DACDB 46~50 DACBA 51~55 CDCCB56~59 BAAD 60~62 CAB 63~66 BBAB 67~70 BDCA71~75 ABFGD短文改错The day before yesterday, I went to the bookstore where is near our school to buy a reference book.

人教版高二英语unit1课文听力

人教版高二英语unit1课文听力Unit 1 of the People's Education Edition for high school seniors in China focuses on English listening comprehension. This is an important skill for students to develop, as it allows them to understand and interpret spoken English in various contexts. The listening exercises in this unit are designed to help students improve their listening skills, including understanding main ideas, specific details, and implied meanings. This is crucial for their overall English language proficiency and their ability to communicate effectively in both academic and real-life situations.One perspective to consider is the importance of listening comprehension in language learning. Listening is an essential skill for language acquisition, as it allows students to expose themselves to authentic spoken language and understand how words are used in context. By improving their listening skills, students can enhance their overall language proficiency, including vocabulary, grammar, and pronunciation. Additionally, listening comprehension is crucial for effective communication in both academic and real-life settings. For example, in academic settings, students need to understand lectures, presentations, and discussions. In real-life situations, they need to comprehend conversations, instructions, and announcements. Therefore, developing strong listening skills is vital for students to succeed in their English language learning journey.Another perspective to consider is the challenges that students may face in improving their listening comprehension. One challenge is the speed of spoken English. Native speakers often speak at a natural pace, which can be challenging for non-native speakers to follow. Additionally, the use of informal language, idiomatic expressions, and accents can further complicate listening comprehension. Moreover, students may struggle with understanding implied meanings, as spoken language often involves nuances and subtleties that may not be explicitly stated. These challenges can be daunting for students, and it is important for educators to provide support and resources to help students overcome these obstacles and improve their listening skills.Furthermore, it is important to consider the strategies and techniques thatcan help students enhance their listening comprehension. Teachers can incorporatea variety of listening activities into their lessons, such as listening to authentic audio materials, watching videos, and engaging in interactive listening exercises. Additionally, providing students with pre-listening tasks, such as predicting the content based on the context, can help them focus their attention and anticipate the information they are about to hear. During listening activities, students can use strategies such as taking notes, focusing on keywords, and identifying main ideas and supporting details. Post-listening activities, such as discussing the content, summarizing the information, and reflecting on their understanding, can further reinforce their listening comprehension skills. By employing these strategies and techniques, educators can support students in developing their listening skills and building their confidence in understanding spoken English.In conclusion, the listening comprehension unit in the People's Education Edition for high school seniors in China plays a crucial role in helping students improve their English language proficiency. By considering the importance of listening comprehension, the challenges students may face, and the strategies to enhance their skills, educators can provide valuable support to help students succeed in their language learning journey. Ultimately, developing stronglistening skills is essential for students to effectively communicate and engage with the English language in both academic and real-life settings.。

Cockroaches (蟑螂) are well known for their survival abilities, but few folks know they can sense magnetic fields.

So if you can stand cockroaches, they may be good magnetic sensors.

[00:02.00]全日制普高英语(必修)高二(下)[00:03.00]Senior English 2B[00:11.71]Unit 16 The United States of America[00:16.00]Listening[00:17.22]1.Wangxiao has taken notes from a radio programme about New York city. [00:22.94]She has made some mistakes.[00:24.70]Listen to Part 1 and correct the errors in her notes.[00:28.62]New York is built on a group of islands on the east coast of the USA [00:33.69]at a point where several rivers flow into the ocean.[00:37.36]The first Westerner to discover these islands was an Ital- ian explorer in 1524[00:44.13]In 1626 the island of Manhattan was bought from local Indians,[00:50.01]Native Americans, for a handful of goods worth about $24.[00:55.56]Today Native Americans express anger of this unfair business deal. [01:01.13]After the War of Independence ended,[01:03.66]New York became the capital of the USA for a short time (1789-1790) [01:10.97]before Washington DC[01:13.01]By 1820 the population of New York had grown to about 125,000,[01:20.14]making it the largest city in the USA.[01:23.36]In 1858 an area of poor housing, factor- ies and farm buildi- ng was torn down[01:30.47]and Central Park was created,[01:32.88]reaching from 59th Street to 110th Street and across the avenues. [01:38.41]There is space for summer picnic, open-air concerts, plays and games. [01:43.80]Central Park also has a zoo,an art museum,a boating lake[01:49.19]and in winter,an ice-skating area.[01:52.79]2.Listen to part 1 again,and answer the following questions.[01:59.03]3.Listen to Part 2 and choose the best answers for the questions below. [02:05.04]In 1892 the age of mass arrivals began,[02:09.43]during which 15 million new people passed through Ellis Island into the USA[02:15.39]over a period of 62 years.[02:18.19]Today Ellis Island is a museum,[02:21.26]showing the roots of America's new citizens,[02:24.36]who came from all the corners of the earth.[02:26.99]Officials used to have trouble with the foreign names of people[02:30.46]passing through Ellis Island[02:32.21]and because they were so busy,many people's names got changed in the rush.[02:37.61]People who wanted to enter the USA[02:40.39]had to go through a number of mental and physical tests[02:44.43]and about two million people were turned away.[02:47.55]Thus Ellis Island became known as the "Island of Tears".[02:52.17]New York never sleeps.[02:54.33]The subway runs 24 hours a day,[02:57.48]and there are all-night cinemas, bars and restaurants[03:01.38]Some people think that the weather is unpleasant,the city ugly and dirty, [03:06.73]the competition fierce and the streets unsafe.[03:10.40]It is a city in a hurry,but a very exciting place to be.[03:19.26]Workbook Unit 16[03:22.79]Listening[03:23.70]Wang Bing is back to China after his visit to the States.[03:27.33]Here he is talking to Jane about his experiences.[03:30.88]1.Listen to the tape to get a general idea[03:34.66]what surprised Wang Bing when he arrived in the States?[03:37.82]Tick the correct answers.[03:39.49]J:What's it like living in the States?[03:42.02]W:Well,I'm surprised that the number of different ethnics there.[03:45.90]J:What exactly do you mean?[03:47.67]W:I thought that Americans were, well,American and spoke English. [03:52.87]But when I got there I found people from all over the world.[03:56.25]J:Can you give me some examples?[03:58.14]W:Yes.There are a lot of people from central America speak Spanish. [04:03.13]They came to the States because they could earn more money there. [04:06.51]Then there are a lot of black people.[04:08.57]The first blacks were brought as slaves from Africa, you know,[04:12.70]and worked mainly in the south.[04:14.72]But now they live all over the country[04:17.23]J:Any others?[04:18.33]W:Yes,there are a lot of Jews.[04:20.67]Many of them traveled to the States in the 1930s,[04:23.58]when there was no longer safe for Jews to live in Europe.[04:26.59]J:What other ethnics did you notice?[04:29.22]W:There are a lot of people from eastern and central Europe,[04:32.74]and also from Ireland.[04:34.14]A lot of Irish traveled to the States in the 1840s,[04:37.43]when the potato harvests in Ireland' s field.[04:40.14]J:Any others? W:Yes. There are lots of Greeks and lots of Chinese. [04:45.31]You can eat food from all over the world in the States.[04:48.44]I also met some Indians,who are native Americans.[04:51.81]They were the first people to live in America[04:54.12]before the European settlers arrived.[04:56.54]Some of them live in special parts of the country,[04:59.27]where they continue their own way of life.[05:01.97]J:Wow!It sounds I can meet people from almost any country in the USA [05:07.42]W:Yes,you can. And you can eat food from all over the world.[05:12.56]2.Listen to the tape again,pay attention to the following different groups [05:17.88]Wang Bing talks about and complete the form below.[05:26.90]Unit 17 Disabilities[05:30.81]Listening[05:31.88]1.Listen to John talk about his life in part 1[05:36.09]and answer the questions below.[05:38.15]John is 15 and is in a wheelchair.He can't move his legs at all.[05:43.92]Despite his disability,[05:45.99]John is able to live a more or less normal life.[05:49.20]Now,listen to John talking about his life at home.[05:53.16]John:Getting out of bed in the morning is difficult for everyone I think. [05:56.91]Nobody want to get up and leave a comfortable bed really.[06:00.54]For me,getting out of bed is even more difficult.[06:04.25]In fact,if I didn't have someone to help me,[06:07.26]I might not be able to get out of bed at all.[06:09.98]My mom or dad has to help me.[06:12.37]They help me get dressed and lift me into my wheelchair.[06:15.67]Oh,I do know how to put on my clothes,[06:18.72]but it takes much longer if I do it myself.[06:21.15]Once I am in my wheelchair,I can get around and do whatever I want. [06:25.77]Of course,some places are difficult to get to when you are in a wheelchair [06:29.88]Our house used to be pretty bad.[06:32.11]The doors were too narrow and all the desks,tables,[06:35.94]and shelves were too high.[06:37.85]Now,my parents have rebuilt the house.[06:41.01]So it's easier for me to take care of myself.[06:43.65]We moved the shelves so I can get stuff from the cupboards.[06:47.28]And my dad and I built the box[06:49.59]I can roll onto when I want to cook in the kitchen.[06:53.13]We also put some boards over the stairs in front of our house,[06:56.53]so that I can come and go as I please.[06:59.94]2.Listen to part 2 and tick the obstacles that John mentions[07:05.13]and explain why they make his life difficult.[07:07.85]John is telling you about his life outside his house.[07:11.93]John:Outside my house,it is more difficult to get around.[07:15.48]People just don't think about wheelch- airs when they build houses and cities.[07:19.69]For example,most streets have a high sidewalk.[07:23.44]So it's almost impossible for me to cross the street.[07:26.74]My school is OK but there is no elevator so I can't get to the second floor. [07:32.84]When I go shopping, there are always lots of problems.[07:36.80]How do you ride an escalator in a wheelchair?[07:39.33]There are some stores I can't even get into.[07:42.07]Because you have to climb up a few stairs to get in.[07:45.04]And don't even mention fast food restaurants,[07:48.01]most of them have small plastic seats that you can't move,[07:51.98]so there's no place for me to put my wheelchair.[07:54.61]At least the park in my neighbourhood is easy to get into.[07:57.55]My friends talk to the people at the park[07:59.86]and I can now go there to play basketball and hang out with my friends. [08:03.64]Oh,are you surprised to hear that I play basketball?I play soccer too! [08:08.10]The next time you are in my town we can play some basketball,[08:10.82]we'll see who's the best player.[08:17.09]Workbook Unit 17 Listening[08:21.01]1.Listen to part 1 of the tape,[08:23.82]and choose the best answers to the following questions.[08:27.12]Many people have heard of the Braille System of reading for the blind. [08:31.51]But few people know why it is called the Braille System[08:35.44]or who Louis Braille was.[08:37.72]In the year 1812, Louis Braille was a very small boy,[08:41.80]he lived in a small town in France.[08:44.11]Louis's father had a shop in which he made things of leather.[08:47.74]One day,Louis was playing in his father's shop,[08:50.71]and picked up a small tool with a very sharp point.[08:53.92]Louis fell,the point of the tool entered his eye[08:57.32]and later he became blind in both eyes.[09:00.11]Although he was then only seven or eight years old, Louis had to walk with a stick[09:05.19]so as to feel where he was going.[09:07.20]A few years later, Louis went to a special school for the blind in Paris. [09:11.97]There he learnt to read,[09:13.67]that is,he learnt to recognize the letters by feeling them with his fingers. [09:18.41]But the letters were several inches high and several inches wide, [09:22.26]this was naturally not a very good system of reading.[09:25.41]Later on,Louis became a teacher in this same school.[09:28.97]He wanted to find a better system of reading for the blind.[09:32.54]But it was not easy.[09:33.71]One day he was sitting in a restaurant with a friend,[09:36.65]who was reading a newspaper to him.[09:38.44]The friend read an article about a French captain[09:41.75]who had a system of writing which he could use in the dark,[09:44.98]he called it "night writing".[09:46.61]In this "night writing",the captain used a system of circles and lines. [09:51.82]The circles and lines were raised on the paper,[09:54.76]so that the person could feel them with his fingers.[09:57.58]When Louis heard about it,he became very excited.[10:00.71]"At last,I find an answer to the problem of the blind[10:04.18]now blind people can be free!"[10:06.66]2.Listen to part 1 again and answer the questions below.[10:11.34]3.Listen to part 2 of the tape and complete the tasks below.[10:16.00]Braille characters are made up of six dots,[10:19.40]the dots are arranged in two columns and numbered from 1 to 6. [10:24.30]The dot on the top left corner is number 1,the one below it is number 2 [10:29.62]and the bottom one is number 3;[10:31.69]the dot on the top right corner is number 4,and so on.[10:35.62]Each letter of the alphabet can be written with a character.[10:38.93]The letter A,for example,is written with the number 1 dot,[10:42.75]the one on the top left corner.[10:44.59]The letter D is made up of dots 1,4 and 5[10:48.70]You can also write numbers and other marks.[10:51.40]For example,a period which is written with dots 2, 5 and 6[10:56.11]Sometimes,short forms of words or word parts can be used.[11:00.66]There are characters for words such as "and" and "the",[11:04.73]and word parts such as "ed" and "ing".[11:09.65]Here are some more letters and characters.[11:11.75]Take notes as you listen,[11:13.46]and then use your notes to find out what the words in the workbook are.

[11:48.82]Dialogue 1 At the patent office[11:52.49]P:Good morning. J: Good morning.[11:54.86]My name is Frank Jones and I have a great idea for a new invention. [11:58.44]P:I see.Can you explain what it is?[12:01.10]J:Yes,.Oh it's great!It's an invention that will change the world.[12:05.27]Listen:Cars and buses are good means of transportation, right?[12:09.25]But they are expensive and noisy, and they pollute the air.[12:12.65]Imagine a new means of transportation[12:15.07]that lets people travel without a sound,[12:17.46]that doesn't need any fuel,and that doesn't pollute the air.[12:21.17]P:Hmm,sounds interesting.Go on, please.[12:24.92]J:Well,my invention is a vehicle with two wheels instead of four. [12:29.18]It doesn't have an engine;[12:31.01]instead,you simply push these things here with your feet.[12:35.02]P:Ah,excuse me,but perhaps...[12:37.75]J:No,no,look!You can use it to go to work,[12:41.08]and it is so small that you won't have any problems finding a place to park. [12:44.63]And it is cheap -- less than three thousand yuan![12:47.97]Isn't it great?You also get exercise by riding it and it' s fun.[12:52.42]P:Excuse me! J:And best of all,it ... what?[12:55.88]P:I'm sorry,Mr Jones but I can't give you a patent for this invention. [13:00.34]Dialogue 2[13:02.11]B:Good morning. My name is Jack Butler.[13:05.34]I'd like to tell you about my new invention.[13:07.76]P:OK.Please explain what it is and how it works.[13:11.06]B:Sure.I've been working on this idea for a long time[13:14.68]and it's finally ready.[13:16.14]I got the idea when I saw a woman[13:18.19]carrying her bags home from the supermarket.[13:20.50]I noticed that the bags were so heavy[13:22.86]that she had to stop and rest several times on the way.[13:26.14]Now,I've had the same problem,too, and I thought I'd do something about it.[13:31.04]P:So how did you solve this problem?[13:32.93]B:Ah,it's quite simple,really.[13:34.90]We all know that things float in water,right?[13:37.92]P:Yes,but I don't see how...[13:40.15]B:So I've built these large buckets, see,[13:43.12]and all you have to do is put your bags in the buckets and they will float. [13:47.50]No more carrying those heavy old bags.[13:50.14]They'll just float along.[13:51.71]P:Yes,but...[13:52.70]B:Oh,I know,I know, you're wondering "well,won't the groceries get wet?"[13:57.40]Don't worry,I've thought of that.[13:59.87]Just tie the bags up before you put them in the buckets[14:02.92]or use these special bags that come with the buckets.[14:06.14]P:Mr Butler! B:Yes? P:It's not the water I'm worried about.[14:10.71]B:No? P:No,you see, there's another, more serious problem...[14:19.12]Workbook Unit 18 Listening[14:22.92]1.New inventions help with the development of the society.[14:26.92]But sometimes people are afraid of new inventions.[14:30.13]Listen to part 1 of the tape and choose the best answers.[14:34.42]Most great inventors often meet with a lot of trouble in their work. [14:39.24]Before they can succeed,they have to overcome thousands of difficulties, [14:44.59]which have been put in their way.[14:46.65]The following is one example of these.[14:49.55]George Stevenson, a famous Britain inventor,[14:52.86]made the first train using a steam engine in 1825.[14:57.44]When he was experimenting with his engine on the train,[15:00.88]he came across problems caused by the government,[15:03.93]newspapers and many people in the country.[15:07.02]They said that the noise and the smoke would kill cows, horses and sheep. [15:12.52]Others thought that the engine would burst,[15:15.15]and that the hot coals from it would set fire to their houses.[15:19.50]People believed what they said.[15:21.60]George Stevenson told the people that the train would go on small rails, [15:26.59]could pull carriages pull of goods and passengers,[15:30.16]and that there would be no great danger to them.[15:32.91]Although it was very difficult to get people to believe him,[15:36.75]Stevenson finally proved what he said.[15:39.80]Driven by Stevenson himself[15:41.98]and powered by a new steam engine which he invented,[15:45.35]that first train proved to be a complete success.[15:49.03]The first day that the train ran on the rails,[15:52.01]people along the way heard the noise of the train in the distance, [15:56.85]and saw it coming quickly towards them they thought it was a ghost, [16:01.69]they ran quickly back home for fear and close their doors tightly,[16:07.17]they did not dare to come out until it came past.[16:10.57]A week later,an old woman still said that her hen had been so frightened [16:16.50]that it hadn't layed any legs for three days.[16:20.48]3.Listen to part 2 of the tape and complete the chart below.[16:25.97]Despite what people thought,Stevenson's engine wasn't dangerous. [16:30.55]But there are other inventions[16:32.28]that really were dangerous to both the inventors and people around them. [16:36.50]Alfred Nobel,the man who created the Nobel prize,[16:40.33]is famous for inventing a safe way to use a chemical to blow things up. [16:45.53]However,his discovery came at a high price.[16:49.52]Alfred's experiments killed several people, including his younger brother. [16:54.39]One of the famous Nobel Prize winners, Marie Curie,[16:58.39]also gave her life for science.[17:00.76]The radium she discovered had made her almost blind,[17:04.52]and caused a disease of the blood.[17:06.97]She died as a result of her long study of dangerous materials.[17:12.04]Sometimes an inventor has to risk his or her life[17:16.01]to find out if an invention works.[17:18.91]Early aeroplane experiments were very dangerous,[17:22.34]and often resulted in accidents.[17:24.85]In the 18th century, a French inventor named Sierra Franny[17:29.57]died when his new breeding machine for diver didn't work.[17:33.40]Of course,sometimes success can be dangerous too.[17:37.20]Rudolf Dizzle, the scientist who invented the kind of engine[17:41.41]used in some modern cars and ships[17:43.98]was almost killed when he discovered a new way to light fuel.[17:53.53]Unit 19 The Merchant of Venice[17:56.78]Listening[17:57.91]1.Listen to the tape and answer the following questions[18:02.29]Antonio is a rich businessman of the city of Venice.[18:06.53]Everyone likes him because he is always ready to help others[18:09.95]At the time of this story[18:11.79]his ships are all at sea to trade with foreign countries.[18:15.40]Bassanio,Antonio's best friend,is in love with Portia.[18:19.69]Portia is a rich and beautiful lady.[18:22.38]She loves Bassanio but they cannot get married because he is too poor. [18:26.85]Then,Bassanio asks Antonio to lend him three thousand ducats.[18:31.68]Being short of money just then, Antonio goes to Shylock to borrow the money.[18:36.36]Shylock has always hated Antonio,[18:38.95]because Antonio has often in public shown how cruel and terrible Shylock is.[18:45.01]Shylock agrees to lend Antonio the money,[18:47.71]but Antonio must promise to allow Shylock to take a pound of his flesh [18:52.65]from any part of his body if he cannot pay the money back after three months.[18:58.05]Antonio agrees to this,takes the money and gives it to Bassanio.[19:03.02]On the day Bassanio and Portia get married,[19:05.58]they receive a letter from Antonio[19:07.82]saying that all his ships have been lost at sea.[19:10.96]Now he himself does not have enough money to pay back the 3,000 ducats[19:16.41]and so he must give Shylock one pound of his flesh.[19:20.07]Portia thinks of a clever plan to save Antonio.[19:23.56]She asks a good friend who is a doctor of law,[19:26.79]to lend her some of his lawyer's clothes and books.[19:30.23]Dressed as a lawyer, she arrives at the court of the Duke,[19:33.86]where Antonio's case is decided.[19:36.21]As the Duke is wondering what to do Portia gives him a letter[19:40.27]from the famous lawyer whom she has visited.[19:43.05]In the letter it says that Portia is a learned young doctor from Rome [19:47.63]who is young but very wise.[19:50.02]The Duke accepts Portia to take the place of the famous lawyer[19:54.09]and handle this difficult case.[19:57.14]2.Listen to the tape again and fill in the following chart[20:01.60]that explains who is who in The Merchant of Venice.[20:05.30]Who are they?What do they do in the play?[20:08.08]What is their relation to other characters in the play?[20:16.11]Workbook Unit 19 Listening[20:20.28]1.Listen to the tape and answer the following questions.[20:24.86]It is my father who has invented this cruel game.We are bound by its rules.[20:30.79]I can not marry the man of my choice.[20:33.99]3 men have come to my house,a man from Africa,a man from Spain and Bassanio.[20:40.93]They will play the game with the three boxes,[20:44.37]and he who chooses the right box,it is my fate to marry him.[20:49.10]I wish that man to be Bassanio.[20:52.09]Now let's draw aside the curtain and show the first man the three boxes. [20:58.02]P:Please,Africa, make your choice.[21:00.76]A:On the first box, made of gold,is written,[21:03.96]"Who chooses me will get what many men desire."[21:07.67]The silver box says, "Who chooses me will get what he deserves." [21:12.02]And the third here, simple iron,carries a warning,[21:16.43]it says,"Who chooses me must give and risk all he has."[21:21.66]How shall I know which one is the right box?[21:24.60]P:The right one contains my picture.[21:27.41]If you choose that, then I would be yours.[21:30.43]A:Let some Gods guide my judgement![21:32.82]Let's see, "Who chooses me will get what many men desire."[21:36.96]Well,that for sure has to be Portia. All the world desires her![21:41.20]Give me the key of the box of gold.[21:43.47]P:There,take it, Prince.[21:45.38]A:What's this? A skeleton in a piece of paper?[21:48.56]It reads,"All the glitters is not gold."Often have you heard that told?[21:53.90]Had you been as wise as bold,your chances wouldn't have been spoiled. Farewell![21:59.85]P:Spain,it's your turn.[22:01.94]S:Hum,I'm not risking anything for an ugly iron box.[22:05.89]And "what many men desire" is not what I want,because I'm not that kind of man[22:09.98]The words on the silver box are words of honour and wisdom[22:14.18]That's what I deserve.Give me a key for this.[22:17.58]P:Well.[22:18.41]S:What's this?An ugly doll that holds a note?[22:21.72]It doesn't look like Portia at all![22:24.51]Did I deserve no more than a bull's head?Don't I deserve any better?[22:29.50]What's on the note?[22:30.85]Still more a bull will appear,the longer you keep standing here.[22:35.66]With one bull's head you came to me, you will go away with two,you see. Farewell[22:40.83]P:Bassanio,you are next.[22:44.13]B:I won't be tricked by decoration,[22:46.19]the outside of the boxes probably does not represent what' s inside.[22:50.29]Give me neither the gold nor the silver,[22:52.65]the simple,honest iron is the box of my choice.[22:55.73]but tell my choice is correct.[22:57.44]And what do I find here?It's a portrait of Portia, and a letter.[23:01.71]It says,"You're the choose that not by the view,chance is fair,[23:06.97]and choice is true.[23:08.60]Since this fortune falls to you,be content and desire no new.[23:14.31]Turn to where your lady is and claim her with a loving kiss.[23:19.43]2.In the game,three men are shown boxes made of different materials. [23:25.00]Each box has a tax written on it[23:27.43]and each contains an object and a short note.[23:30.39]Listen to the tape again and answer the following questions.[23:39.72]Unit 20 Archaeology[23:43.30]Listening[23:44.30]1.Listen carefully to the tape and try to make a drawing of the tool. [23:49.47]T:Come and have a look at this. Isn't it beautiful[23:52.41]S1:What is it? T: Well.Have a good look.[23:55.55]S1:Eh...It looks like a short stick to me;[23:59.12]about 25 cm long and at the top there's a little carved animal[24:04.48]At the bottom end there are three holes through the stick.[24:07.98]I have no idea what it is.[24:10.73]T:Right.What else?[24:12.45]S1:There's a small goat that's looking over its shoulder[24:16.67]And there's something funny on the right. What is it?[24:20.68]T:That's two legs of a young baby goat that is being born[24:25.09]At least,that's what some people think.[24:27.90]S1:Really?What does it mean? T:We don't know.The meaning was lost. [24:33.16]S2:What was it used for?[24:34.94]T:It is an ancient weapon.One of the oldest on earth.[24:38.65]S2:How can such a short stick be used as a weapon?[24:42.01]T:Very big animals walked around the earth...[24:45.31]S2:Yeah dinosaurs. T:No,not dinosaurs.[24:49.21]But there were bears that were two or three times bigger than today [24:53.79]and very large kind of elephants that had long brown hair.[24:58.70]It was too dangerous to fight them with sticks or knives,or even spears,[25:03.98]so people developed this weapon.[25:06.37]S2:I don't understand. How did it work?[25:09.02]T:You can't throw a spear very far with your arm, maybe 50 metres.[25:14.19]But using this tool it could be thrown 6 times farther,and with greater speed.[25:20.22]S2:How?[25:21.33]T:Look at the three holes.[25:23.81]One held a stone for balance,one a small piece of wood or leather,[25:29.56]and a piece of rope was tied into the smallest one.[25:33.25]A spear of about 180 cm was laid on the stick,[25:38.90]resting against the small piece of wood or leather.[25:42.88]With a pull on the string and a movement of the arm,[25:47.13]the spear would be thrown.[25:49.00]S2:Gee!Is it very old? T:10 to 20,000 years[25:52.97]S1:Where was it found?[25:54.27]T:It was discovered in a cave in southern France.[25:57.58]S2:How do you know that it was used for what you say?[26:00.90]T:We don't know for sure.After people stopped using it in Europe,[26:05.37]other people in South America and Australia invented it again,[26:09.75]by themselves.[26:10.74]They used it to throw spears,so we think it's the same thing.[26:14.87]S1:So you could be wrong about it?[26:17.70]T:Yes.We can't ask the ancient people how they used it, so we must guess.[26:23.04]What do you think it could be?[26:25.25]2.Listen and write down five of the questions asked by the students.[26:30.59]3.Listen to the tape and answer the following questions.[26:39.47]Workbook Unit 20 Listening[26:43.60]2.Listen to the tape again[26:46.13]and tick which of the following statements are true.[26:49.85]In July 2003,after searching for 12 years,[26:54.24]explorers announced that they had locat- ed the sunken ship called "Republic".[26:59.26]In 1700 feet of water,[27:01.83]about 100 miles of the southeast coast of the United States[27:06.52]The Republic was a steam ship carrying 59 passengers[27:10.89]from New York to New Orleans.[27:13.12]When it sank in a hurricane on October 25,1865,[27:18.88]according to newspaper reports and other historical records,[27:22.65]all the passengers were rescued,[27:24.86]but the ship and its valuable goods, including $20,020 gold coins,[27:31.43]intended to help pay for the reconstruct- ion of the South after the civil war,[27:36.15]went to the bottom of the ocean with the Republic.[27:39.49]Over the past 30 years,underwater archaeology came into being[27:44.56]as diving equipment and robots that can be used underwater were improved,[27:49.68]it can raise good profits both for governments[27:53.64]and private commercial companies[27:56.00]which undertake this kind of business.[27:57.96]The discovery of Titanic has made underwater archaeol- ogy very popular.[28:03.49]Since the Republic is so far out in international waters[28:07.55]the company doesn't need a permit to begin the work at the site.[28:11.19]No one has been near the site for about 140 years.[28:15.43]Nearly 4000 artefacts were recovered,[28:18.67]giving a good impression of life in the 1860s.[28:22.08]From shoes to chess pieces,combs, toothbrushes,plates and cups,[28:28.65]personal things, cooking and serving bolts,and many many more items,[28:34.40]Recovering of the Republic may cost up to 3 million dollars[28:39.21]However,it is expected that selling the gold coins[28:43.13]may bring an amount of money in profits ranging from 120 to 180 million dollars.。
