浙江省诸暨市草塔中学高中英语 Unit 2 The United Kingdom Why Scottish men wear skirts素材新人教版必修5 在2009年春晚上，小沈阳穿着苏格兰裙风靡全国。
在苏格兰，男人有时会穿裙子，你知道这是为什么吗？In Europe, men do not usually wear skirts. However, the Scottish national costume for men is a kind of skirt. It is called a kilt (苏格兰呢褶裙). The Scottish like to be different. They are also proud of their country and its history, and they feel that the kilt is part of the history. That’s why the men still wear kilts at old-style dances and on national holidays. They believe they are wearing the same clothes as Scottish men always used to wear.However, kilt s are not really so ol d. Before 1730, Scottish men wore a long shirt and a blanket around their shoulders. These clothes got in the way when the men started to work in factories. So, in 1730 a factory owner changed the blanket into a skirt: the kilt. That’s how the first kilt was made. Then, in the late 1700s Scottish soldiers in the British army began to wear kilt s. In the early 1800s men all round Scotland began to wea r kilts.These kilts had colorful stripes (条纹) going up and down and across. In the 1700s and early 1800s, the color of the stripes had no special meaning. Men sometimes owned kilts in several different colors. But later the colors became important to th e Scottish families. By about 1850, most families had special colours for their kilts. For example, men from the Campbell family had kilts with gr een, yellow an d blue stripes. Scottish peopl e often believe that the colors of the kilts are part of their family history. In fact, each family just chose the colors they liked best.Most Scottish people still believe that kilts are as old as Scotland and that the colo urs are as old as the Scottish families. Sometimes feeling s a re stronger than facts!Answer the following questions.1. Why did the factory owner change the blanket into a skirt according to the passage?2. When were kilts popular with the men all over Scotland?。

1066年，诺曼底的公爵、征服者纪尧姆在黑斯廷战役中击败了萨克逊的国王哈曼德以后，成为英国国王。
随即，他下令修筑要塞，以捍卫他的新王国的要紧城市伦敦。
十年以后，他决定将土木结构的这座一般的城堡（位于塔米斯河畔）改建成宏伟的要塞式的宫殿，还修建了一个被称为伦敦塔的高塔。
后来，当城堡被扩建后，那个名字就给予了逐个要塞，中央的高塔因白塔那个名字更是众所周知，因为建设时利用了白得耀眼的石灰石。
白塔的西侧有四座小塔楼，其中的一个是圆形的。
人们以为这座塔楼依照鲁昂的诺曼底公爵之塔（建于十世纪，毁于1204年）的样子建造的。
塔中有伦敦最古老的教堂—圣·让小教堂。
伦敦塔是皇家的官邸和武器库，从亨利八世（十六世纪）起，它变成了国家的重要牢狱。
亨利八世的第二位王后安娜·博林、第五位王后卡瑟琳·霍华德、托马斯·莫尔及爱德华四世的两个儿子确实是死在那个地址的不幸的囚犯的成员，他们为该塔的凄惨名声作出了奉献。
今天，参观的人们能够在那个地址欣赏王室的珠宝和武器博物馆。

As high students, they have achieved certain English level and the have the ability to get the basic idea of the reading. Since the passage is about a modern country with colourful culture and history, the students are easily activated.

浙江省诸暨市草塔中学高中英语 Unit 2 The United Kingdom Christmas In BRITISH ISLES素材 新人教版必修5
浙江省诸暨市草塔中学高中英语 Unit 2 The United Kingdom Christmas In BRITISH ISLES素材新人教版必修5 Many of our current American ideals about the way Christmas ought to be derive from the English Victorian Christmas, such as that described in Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol. The caroling, the gifts, the feast, and the wishing of good cheer to all - these ingredients came together to create that special Christmas atmosphere.The custom of gift-giving on Christmas dates only to Victorian times. Before then it was more common to exchange gifts on New Year's Day or Twelfth Night. Santa Claus is known by British children as Father Christmas. Father Christmas, these days, is quite similar to the American Santa, but his direct ancestor is a certain pagan spirit who regularly appeared in medieval mummer's plays. The old-fashioned Father Christmas was depicted wearing long robes with sprigs of holly in his long white hair. Childr en write letters to Father Christmas detailing their requests, but instead of dropp ing them in the mailbox, the letters are tossed into the fireplace. The draft carries the letters up the chimney, and theoretically, Father Christmas reads the smoke. Gifts are opened Christmas afternoon.From the English we get a story to explain the custom of hanging stockings from the mantelpiece. Father Christmas once dropped some gold coins while coming down the chimney. The coins would have fallen through the ash grate and been lost if they hadn't landed in a stocking that had been hung out to dry. Since that time children have continued to hang out stockings in hopes of finding them filled with gifts.The custom of singing carols at Christmas is also of English origin. During the middle ages, groups of sere nades called "waits" would travel around from house to house singing ancient carols and spreading the holiday spirit. The word "carol" means "song of joy." Most of the popular old carols we sing today were writte n in the nineteenth century.The hanging of greens, such as holly and ivy, is a British winter tradition withorigins far before the Christian era. Greenery was probably used to lift sagging winter spirits and remind the people that spring was not far away. The custom of kissing under the mistletoe is descended from ancient Druid rites. The decorating of Christmas trees, though primarily a German custom, has been widely popular in England since 1841 when Prince Albert had a Christmas tree set up in Windsor Castle for his wife Queen Victoria, and their children.The word "wassail" is derived from the Anglo-Saxon phrase waes hael, which means "good health." Originally, wassail was a beverage made of mulled ale, curdled cream, roasted apples, nuts, eggs, and spices. It was served for the purpose of enhancing the general merriment of the season. Like many of the ancient customs, "wassailing" has a legend to explain its origin. It seems that a beautiful Saxon maiden named Rowena presented Prince Vortigen with a bowl of wine while toasting him with the words "Waes hael." Over the centuries a great deal of ceremony had developed around the custom of drinking wassail. The bowl is carried into a room with great fanfare, a traditional carol about the drink is sung, and finally, the steaming hot beverage is served.For many years in England, a roasted boar's head has been associated with Holiday feasting. The custom probably goes back to the Norse practice of sacrificing a boar at Yuletide in honour of the god Fryer. One story tells of a student at Oxford's Queen College who was attacked on Christmas Day by a wild boar. All he had in his hand to use a s a weapon was his copy of Aristotle, so he shoved the book down the boar's throat. Wanting to retrieve his book, the student cut off the animal's head and brought it back to the college where it was served for Christmas dinner with much pomp and ceremony.The celebration of Boxing Day, which takes place on December 26 - the feast of St. Stephen, is a part of the holiday season unique to Great Britain. Traditionally, it is on this day that the alms box a t every English church is opened and the contents are distributed to the poor. Also, this is the day that servants traditionally got the day off to celebrate with their families. It became traditional for working people to break open their tip boxes on this day. Boxing Day began in themid-nineteenth century when the custom of tipping by rich persons to persons in service positions had apparently gotten out of hand. Children and others pretended to be in the trades and solicited tips. The custom was expanded to giving to anyone and everyone who had less money than you did, and soon the streets at Christmastime were full of aggressive soliciting of tips. To contain the nuisance "Boxing Day" was designated as the one day for giving to the less fortunate.。
浙江省诸暨市草塔中学高中英语 Unit 2 The United Kingdom 英国生活习俗素材 新人教版必修5
浙江省诸暨市草塔中学高中英语 Unit 2 The United Kingdom 英国生活习俗素材新人教版必修5现在英国人更加注重生活质量，追求精神享受。
重要场合穿着很正规，平时追求简单、舒适的服饰。
饮食式样简单，注重营养。
英气候温和、湿润，英国人喜爱阳光。
平时喜欢自己动手做家务，酷爱运动，喜欢外出旅游度假。
另外英国人非常爱好文化活动，如阅读书刊、写文章、听音乐会、看戏等，还喜欢养宠物。
英伦生活面面观一、生活中的数字在英国，成人平均每周22小时从事全日工作或全日教育，并以相同数量的时间用于家务劳动。
而从事家务劳动的人的性别仍以妇女为最高。
但妇女参加工作的越来越多。
据国家统计局最新统计，妇女参加工作的比例45%。
在非体力工作部门，妇女占一半。
而在服务行业，妇女则占一半多，可谓"半边天"！英国家庭的消费额1990年至1997年间增长了75%(含通货膨胀率)。
而1998年二季度又比1997年上涨了2.8%。
其消费格局也发生了很大变化。
1997年，居民用于娱乐和教育支出耐用品的消费增加了10%。
其支出内容为购买收音机、电视机、电话、电脑和其它耐用品。
这部分消费还用于租录像机和音乐磁带，购买文体用品，以及教育投资。
1997年一般商品成本价上涨了4.4%，但个别商品如食品、酒精、燃料都有不同程度的下降，下降比例最高的当属香烟。
由此可见，现在英国人的生活方式，更加注重生活质量，追求精神享受，并渐渐摆脱不良的生活习惯，如吸烟、酗酒。
二、追求简单、舒适的生活西服仍称得上是英国的国服，但是，虽然上班族西装革履，甚至在重要场合，男士着燕尾服，女士着低胸晚礼服，但是，很多老百姓日常喜欢穿休闲服，式样简单、舒服合体。
英国人的饮食习惯亦式样简单，注重营养。
早餐通常是麦片粥冲牛奶或一杯果汁，涂上黄油的烤面包片，熏咸肉或煎香肠、鸡蛋。
中午，孩子们在学校吃午餐，大人的午餐就在工作地点附近买上一份三明治，就一杯咖啡，打发了事。

浙江省诸暨市草塔中学高中英语 Unit 2 The United Kingdom 威斯敏斯特大教堂素材新人教版必修5
威斯敏斯特的本义是西部大教堂。
教堂建筑为哥特式，数个由彩色玻璃嵌饰的尖顶并列在一起，美丽绝伦。
教堂中间还有一处拥挤的墓场，埋葬着很多伟大人物。
由于人数众多，不得不将棺椁竖起来埋放在地下，最终还是无处插针，才开始将伟人们向圣保罗教堂转移。
教堂的祭坛前面的尖背靠椅，是历代帝王在此加冕时坐的，据说那是件700年以前一直使用至今的古董。
椅子的坐板下有一块大石头，被称为"命运之石"，它是爱德华一世在13世纪掠夺来的。
原来这是苏格兰王登基用的，据说现今苏格兰人中，还有人发起要把这块石头取回去的运动。
在这座教堂建成之后不过几日，忏悔王便死去了，也没有王位继承人。
正当皇亲国成为此争吵不休之际，诺尔曼人威廉从法国而来，并一举压制、征服了英格兰。
可是，怎样才能向公众展示自己是爱德华王的正当继承者呢？最终，他想出了一个绝妙的办法：在爱德华王建造的这座教堂内举行盛大的登基仪式。
从那以后，共有40位皇帝在此登基。
在邱吉尔或无名烈士的墓碑前行个礼，游客们便走过庄严却有些灰暗的通道，买票进入到豪华绚丽的内厅。
铺满红色天鹅绒的地方是极为富丽堂皇的祭坛，登基及大婚仪式均在此举行。
人们眼前好像看到了那盛大的场面。
祭坛后是忏悔王高达3层的豪华墓地。

Despite(尽管) the distance the islands actually make up the fiftieth state of the United States. The islands were all formed by volcanic eruption and on the largest of the islands, Hawaii, or the Big Island, there are still two active volcanoes, the Mauna Loa and the Kilauea, which still erupt every few years.On the Hawaiian islands the natives have a particularly strange way of indicating directions. They don’t use the north, south, east and west system common to the rest of the world. They use the mauka and makai system. Mauka means “mountain”. The mount ains in Hawaii are always at the center of the islands, as these are volcanic islands. Makai means “the sea”. The islands are small and the system is simple. Wherever you want to visit, it can always be described in terms of where it lies in relation to the mountains and the sea. A typical conversation between a native Hawaiian and a tourist might go as follow.TOURIST: Excuse me! Could you tell me where the Sheraton Hotel is?HAWAIIAN: Well… Let me see! From here it’s two blocks mauka, and then one block makai. You can’t miss it!1. This passage would be most likely to appear in which of the following?A. A novel.B. A collection of stories.C. A women’s magazine.D. A reference book.2. Choose the most suitable title for the article.A.The Big Island.B. Volcanoes.C. Giving Directions in HawaiiD. The Hawaiian Islands.3. Which of the following items does the passage NOT discuss?A. Hawaii’s location.B. How to give directions in Hawaii.C. Volcanoes.D. The climate.4. In Hawaii the mountains are in the center of the islands because .A.of the weatherB.the islands were created by volcanic eruptionsC.of the geological conditionsD.of the islands’ location in the Pa cific5. To find your way in Hawaii, you must .A.refer to geographical directionsB.refer to well-known establishmentsC.refer to the earth and the seaD.refer to the location of the mountains and the seaBStatus of Judicial System in the USAIn recent years, there has been an increasing awareness of the inadequacies of the judicial system in the United States. Costs are staggering both for the taxpayers and the parties-and the parties have to wait sometimes many years before having their day in court. Many suggestions have been made concerning methods of improving the situation, but as in most branches of government, changes come slowly.One suggestion that has been made in order to maximize the efficiency of the system is to allow districts that have an overabundance of pending cases to borrow judges from other districts that do not have such a backlog. Another suggestion is to use pretrial conferences, in which the judge meets in his chambers with the parties and their attorneys in order to narrow the issues, limit the witnesses, and provide for a more orderly trial. The theory behind pretrial conferences is that judges will spend less time on each case and parties will more readily settle before trial whenthey realize the adequacy of their cla ims and their opponents’ evidence. Unfortunately, at least one study has shown that pretrial conferences actually use more judicial time than they save, rarely result in pretrial settlements, and actually result in higher damage settlements.Many states have now established another method, small-claims courts, in which cases over small sums of money can be disposed of with considerable dispatch. Such proceedings cost the parties almost nothing, In California, for example, the parties must appear before the judge without the assistance of counsel. The proceedings are quite informal and there is no pleading-the parties need to make only a one-sentence statement of their claim. By going to this type of court, the plaintiff waives any right to a jur y trial and the right to appeal the decision.In coming years, we can expect to see more and more innovations in the continuing effort to remedy a situation which must be remedied if the citizens who have valid claims are going to be have their day in court.6. The pretrial conference, in theory, is supposed to do all of the following except_____.A.narrow the issuesB.cause early settlementC.save judicial timeD.increase settlement cost7. What is the main topic of the passage?A.All states should follow California’ s example in using small-claimscourts in order to free judges for other work.B.The legislature needs to formulate fewer laws so that the judiciary cancatch up on its older cases.C.Nobody seems to care enough to attempt to find method for making thejudicial system more efficient.D.While there are many problems with the court system, there are viablesuggestions, for improvement.8. The word “parties” means mostly _______.A.jury membersmentatorsC.parties in a lawsuitD.taxpayers9. Which of the following is true about small-claim courts?A.It is possible to have one’s case heard by a jury if he or she isdissatisfied with the court’s decision.B.The parties must plead accurately and according to a strict form.C.The decision may not be appealed to a higher court.D.The parties may not present their cases without an attorney’ s help.10. What can we assume from the passage?A.Most people who feel they have been wronged have a ready remedy in courtsof law.B.Many people would like to bring a case to court, but are unable to becauseof the cost and the time required.C.The judicial system in the US is highly acclaimed for its efficiency.D.Pretrial conferences will someday probably have replaced trials completely.CIn today's Ireland, it seems hard to imagine the grim days of the 19th century when so many of the population starved, or that, in those days, many poor people had no clue how to prepare any food other than boil a potato. Nowadays, it is quite possible to eat both well and heartily all over the island.Tourism has made a vast difference to the standards of cooking in Ireland. Until recently there was hardly any tradition of eating out in many districts, except perhaps on very few occasions at a local hotel. Patterns of diet were old-styled, based firmly on 'meat and two vegetables' (somewhat overcooked), potatoes (of course) and large quantities of dairy produce. Now things are very different. Tourist demands for predictable, ine xpensive fast-food are met, as everywhere, with hamburgers and pizzas - a better bet being fish and chips. But more sophisticated tastes have introduced wholefoods and vegetarian restaurants (almost unheard of before), anda vast number of new restaurants, often French in style, have opened in the main tourist centres. Food 'events' such as Kinsale's Gourmet festival or Galway's Oyster Festival attract large numbers of visitors and reflect the new interest in food.Whatever Irish cooking lacks in finesse（精细）, it nearly always makes up for in plenty, and ingredients(成分) are of a high quality. Home-grown produce includes rich dairy foods, beef, lamb and pork, and a great variety of seafood. One of its great specialities is soda bread. It is made with buttermilk and is served fresh and warm with every meal. Recently there has been a return to simple Irish foods such as stews（炖菜）and potato dishes.One of the best-value meals in Ireland is breakfast. A 'traditional Irish breakfast' is a plateful of bacon and eggs with soda and potato breads. Accommodation rates are nearly always quoted with a full breakfast included, so you might as well eat enough to keep you going all day and get your money's worth!11． What was Irish food like until quite recently?A. It was very conservative and uninteresting.B. It was influenced by French cooking.C. It was very unhealthy.D. It was plentiful12．How has Irish food improved in recent years?A. There are more French restaurants.B. Food produce is fresher.C. There is more kinds.D. Food is more expensive13． What is the main reason for this improvement?A. People have more money to spend.B. The development of tourism.C. People have more tastes today.D. Young people dislike traditional food14． How does the passage describe Irish cooking today?A. It is exciting and interesting.B. It is boring and overcooked.C. It is plentiful and simple.D. It is good-looking and tastes bad 15．Whic h of the following statements is true according to the text?A. Eating out at weekends is traditional in most parts of Ireland.B. Today most Irish people prefer fast-foods to the traditional Irish cooking.C. Nowadays French-style restaurants are quite common in tourist centres.D. Many Irish people are vegetarians and grow their own vegetables.DA Tour City ------- PompeiiEvery year thousands of tourists visit Pompeii (庞贝，意大利那不勒斯附近一座古城) , Italy. They see the sights that Pompeii is famous for ------ its stadium (运动场) and theatre, its shops and restaurants. The tourists do not, however, see Pompeii’s people. They do not see them because Pompeii has no people. No one has lived in Pompeii for almost 2000 years.Once, Pompeii was a busy city of 22,000 people. It lay at the foot of Mount Vesuvius (维苏威火山) , a grass-covered volcano (火山). Mount Vesuvius had not erupted (爆发) for centuries, so the people of Pompeii felt safe. But they were not.In August of AD 79, Mount Vesuvius erupted. The entire top of the mountain exploded, and a huge black cloud rose into the air. Soon stones and hot ash began to fall on Pompeii. When the eruption ended two days later, Pompeii was buried (埋藏) under 20 feet of stones and ashes. Almost all of its people were dead.For centuries, Pompeii lay buried under stone and ash. Then, in the year 1861, an Italian scientist named Gin seppe began to uncover (发现) Pompeii. Slowly, carefully, Ginseppe and his men dug. The city looked almost the same as it had looked in AD 79. Ther e were streets and fountains, houses and shops. There was a stadium with 20, 000 seats. Perhaps the most important of all, there were everyday objects, which tell us a great deal about the people who lived in Pompeii. Many glasses and jars had some dark blue colour in the bottom, so we know that the people of Pompeii liked wine. They liked bread, too; metal bread pans were in even bakery (面包房). In one bakery there were 81 round, flat loaves of bread ------- a type of bread that is still sold in Italy today. Tiny boxes filled with a dark, shiny powder tell us that women liked to wear eye-makeup (眼部化装品) .Ginseppe has died, but his work continues. One-fourth has not been uncovered yet.Scientists are still digging, still making discoveries that draw the tourists to Pompeii.16．Why do large numbers of people come to Pompeii each year?A.To visit the volcano.B. B. To shop and eat there.C.To watch sports and plays.D. To see how Pompeiians lived17. Why had so many Pompeiians remained by volcanic Mount Vesuvius?a)The city nearby off ered all kinds of fun.b)The area produced the finest wine in Italy.c)Few people expected the volcano er upt again.d)The mountain was beautiful and covered with grass18. Why did the city uncovered look almost the same as it had looked in AD 79?e)Because Ginseppe and his men dug it slowly and carefully.f)Because the city was buried alive and remained untouched.g)Because scientists successfully rebuilt the city with everyday objects.h)Because nobody had lived in the city ever since the volcano erupted.19. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “ exploded” in the third paragraph?A. 爆炸B.震动C.倒塌D.开裂20. What do we know about the Pompeiians who lived 2000 years ago?A They lived more or less the same as Italians now do.B They liked women wearing all kings of makeup.C They enjoyed a lazy life with drinking and eating.D They went back to Pompeii after the eruption in AD 79.keys:完型填空：1---5 ACCAD 6---- 10 ACBAD 11---15 ADBCC阅读理解A： 1.

According to the London Development Agency, London has over 200 museums, 500 cinema screens and 108 music halls. Needless to say, you can’t see it all in one day. Here are a few major sights you can expect to enjoy on the first visit to London: BuckinghamPalace (built 1705): One of the most recognizable buildings in the world and home of the royal family, BuckinghamPalace has 661 rooms, 19 of which are open to the public. The Queen holds royal ceremonies here that 50,000 people each year are invited to attend. The Changing of the Guard lasts 45 minutes in front of the Palace and should not be missed.BritishMuseum (founded 1753): The oldest museum in the world is also the most visited site in London. Precious treasures include Assyrian and Egyptian artifacts (人工制品), the 2000-year-old corpse, and Saxon jewelry. The museum’s newly constructed Great Court — a two-acre square, enclosed by a glass roof — is the largest covered public square in Europe.London Eye (built 2000): The “Eye〞 is a giant modern wheel which weighs 1,600 tons and stands 450 feet high on the South Bank of the River Thames across from the Houses of Parliament. The waiting lines, or “queues〞, can be long, but up to 25 visitors can ride in each of the clear capsules for 30 minutes and gaze out over the vast city. A magical time to ride the “Eye〞 is at night.St. Paul’s Cathedral (built 1675-1710): The original site of the cathedral dates back to AD 604. The present structure, designed by Sir Christopher Wren after London’s Great Fire of 1666, has a domed roof. St. Paul’s remained intact despite heavy bombing in World War II.1 / 1。

英国伦敦塔素材新人教版必修5
1066年，诺曼底的公爵、征服者纪尧姆在黑斯廷战役中击败了萨克逊的国王哈曼德之后，成为英国国王。
随即，他下令修筑要塞，以保卫他的新王国的主要城市伦敦。
十年之后，他决定将土木结构的这座普通的城堡（位于塔米斯河畔）改建成宏伟的要塞式的宫殿，还修建了一个被称为伦敦塔的高塔。
后来，当城堡被扩建后，这个名字就赋予了逐个要塞，中央的高塔因白塔这个名字更是家喻户晓，因为建设时使用了白得耀眼的石灰石。
白塔的西侧有四座小塔楼，其中的一个是圆形的。
人们认为这座塔楼按照鲁昂的诺曼底公爵之塔（建于十世纪，毁于1204年）的样子建造的。
塔中有伦敦最古老的教堂—圣·让小教堂。
伦敦塔是皇家的官邸和武器库，从亨利八世（十六世纪）起，它变成了国家的重要监狱。
亨利八世的第二位王后安娜·博林、第五位王后卡瑟琳·霍华德、托马斯·莫尔及爱德华四世的两个儿子就是死在这里的不幸的囚犯的成员，他们为该塔的悲惨名声作出了贡献。
今天，参观的人们可以在这里欣赏王室的珠宝和武器博物馆。
