2020新外研版高二英语选择性必修二课文及翻译（英汉对照）Unit 1 Growing upUnderstanding ideasThe Age of Majority成年In most countries, turning 18 marks the start of adulthood. But what does reaching this milestone, the age of majority, really mean? Will you be completely in charge of your own life and be able to express yourself in new and exciting ways? What new responsibilities will this freedom bring? Here, young people tell us what turning 18 means，or meant, to them.在大多数国家，进入18岁便意味着成年。
但是到达成年这一里程碑到底意味着什么呢?你将完全主宰自己的生活吗?你能够用新奇的、激动人心的方式来表达自己吗?获得这种自由又会带来什么新的责任呢?接下来，有三位年轻人会为我们讲述年满18岁对他们意味着什么，或是曾经意味了什么。
Bethany 16, Victoria, Australia贝萨妮16岁，澳大利亚维多利亚州I can’t wait to be 18. For instance, I’ve been working eve r since leaving school, and yet I won’t be voting in the next election. Why? Because I still won’t be old enough. Surely, if you’re old enough to earn a wage and pay taxes, you should be allowed to have a say on how the government spends them!

Understanding the benefits of exercise了解锻炼的益处Most people assume that regular exercise does wonders for the body and mind-but what exactly are its health benefits? To start with, physical activity increases the efficiency of your heart and lungs. During exercise, your heart and lungs must work harder. This extra effort makes them grow stronger over the long term. It has also been proven that active people tend to have better immune systems and are at lower risk of diseases. Moreover,exercise is good for your mental health. Working out can help you reduce stress and get over negative feelings. Some studies even show that exercise improves certain brain functions, meaning you could actually exercise your way to better performance at school!大多数人都认为经常锻炼对身心大有益处——不过，锻炼究竟对健康有哪些好处呢？首先，体育活动能增强心肺功能。

1.组织学生分组讨论活动5中的问题，进一步挖掘文章的深层信息，理解文章的主题意义。在此基础上可以补充问题，让学生围绕留学生在文化交流中的角色展开讨论。例如：
What may Xie Lei have talked about in her presentation about Chinese Culture?
教学
主题
本板块的教学主题是“阅读交换生谢蕾的留学经历”（Read about Xie Lei’s experience on an exchange programme）。Xie Lei谢蕾的学习和生活经历反映了大多数留学生初到国外时的真实体验，他们身处陌生的环境，难免遇到各种各样的困难；由于语言和文化背景等方面的差异，他们在跨文化交际过程中会有沟通不畅的情况，有时甚至会造成误解。留学生遇到问题后经常会陷入茫然和不知所措中，甚至产生焦虑和恐慌。这种在进入一个完全陌生的文化环境后表现出的一系列不适应的反应叫作文化冲击（culture shock）。当然，整个文化适应过程中的心理状态是一条U形曲线，正如文章中叙述的那样，留学生经历文化冲击的不适达到最低点后往往会迎来微妙的拐点，随之产生应激反应，开始接纳新的环境，尝试调整自己的行为，最终成为新环境中如鱼得水的一员。留学生在此过程中感受不同文化碰撞产生的新奇感和危机感，对自己、对生活有了新的认识，在不断适应的过程中获得成长。

In the 1950s, the Egyptian government wanted to build a new dam across the Nile in order to control floods, produce electricity, and supply water to more farmers in the area. But the proposal led to protests. Water from the dam would likely damage a number of temples and destroy cultural relics that were an important part of Egypt’s cultural heritage. Af ter listening to the scientists who had studied the problem, and citizens who lived near the dam, the government turned to the United Nations for help in 1959.然而，巨大的挑战有时候会带来伟大的解决方案。

高一英语新教材人教版必修二课文Unit2 WILDLIFE PROTECTION
Unit2 WILDLIFE PROTECTIONA DAY IN THE CLOUDSThe air is thin and we have to rest several times on the short hike from camp. To our left, snow-covered mountains disappear into clouds that seem almost close enough to touch. On the plain in front of us, we can just make out a herd of graceful animals. This is why we’re here-- to observe Tibetan antelopes.Tibatan antelopes live on the plains of Tibat, Xinjiang, and Qinghai. Watching them move slowly across the green grass. I’m struck by their beauty. I’m also reminded of the danger they are in. They are being hunted, illegally, for their valuable fur.My guide is Zhaxi, a villager from Changtang. He works at the Changtang National Nature Reserve. The reserve is a shelter for the animals and plants of northwestern Tibet. To Zhaxi, the land is sacred and protecting the wildlife is a way of life. “We’re not trying to save the animals,” he says. “Actually, we’re trying to save ourselves.”The 1980s and 1990s were bad times for the Tibetan antelopes. The population dropped by more that 50 percent. Hunters were shooting antelopes to make profits. Their habitats were becoming smaller as new roads and railways were built.In order to save this species from extinction, the Chinese government placed it under national protection. Zhaxi and other volunteers watched over the antelopes day and night to keep them safe from attacks. Bridges and gates were added to let the antelopes move easily and keep them safe from cars and trains.The measures were effective. The antelopes population has recovered and in June 2015, the Tibetan antelopes was removed from the endangered species list. The government, however, does not intend to stop the protection programmes, since the threats to the Tibetan antelopes have not yet disappeared.In the evening, I drink a cup of tea and watch the stars. I think about the antelopes and what Zhaxi told me. Much is being done to protect wildlife, but if we really want to save the planet, we must change our way of life. Only when we learn to exist in harmony with nature can we stop being a threat to wildlife and to our planet.Reading and writingGive Ugly a Chance！When it comes to wildlife protection, all species-the good, the bad, and the ugly-should be treated equally. Pandas, dolphins, and other cute wildlife are important, but we must pay attention to less cute animals, too. The world needs all kinds-without variety, our planet cannot survive. So if you want the future to be beautiful, you have to give ugly a chance.Don’t Make Paper with My Home！Billions of trees are being cut down every year to make paper for humans. Every tree that is cut down is a part of the habitat of animals such as these koalas. In this way a lot of animal homes are being destroyed! Is it right to make animals homeless so that humans can have more paper?。

人教版高中英语必修二第二单元课文
人教版高中英语必修二第二单元课文Unit 2 The Olympic GamesPart 1 Pre-readingThe first modern Olympic Games were held in 1896 in Athens, Greece. The idea of reviving the ancient Olympic Games came from a Frenchman named Pierre de Coubertin. He believed that sports could help promote peace and understanding among nations. The ancient Olympic Games were held in Olympia, Greece, every four years from 776 BC to 393 AD. Athletes competed in various events, including running, wrestling, and chariot racing. The Games were an important part of ancient Greek culture and the winners were highly respected.Part 2 ReadingPart 1 (Para. 1-2)In the first part of the text, it introduces the history of the ancient Olympic Games. The Games were held in honor of the Greek gods and were considered a religious festival. It mentions that the Games began in 776 BC and continued every four years until 393 AD when they were banned by the Emperor Theodosius I. During the Games, wars and conflicts were stopped to allow athletes and spectators to travel safely. The table is given below shows the events and winners of some ancient Olympic Games.Year/ Events/ WinnersAncient Olympic Games776 BC/ One event: men's stade race/ CoroebusPart 2 (Para. 3-7)The second part of the text is about the revival of the Olympic Games in 1896. It introduces Pierre de Coubertin, the founder of the modern Olympic Games. Coubertin believed that sports couldhelp to promote peace and understanding among nations. He worked hard to convince people that reviving the ancient Olympic Games was important. Finally, in 1896, the first modern Olympic Games were held in Athens, Greece. The event included a marathon race, which was inspired by the story of the Greek messenger Pheidippides. The winners of the first modern Olympic Games were listed as follows:Event / WinnerMen's marathon/ Spiros LouisMen's singles tennis/ John Pius BolandMen's cycling race/ Aristides KonstantinidisPart 3 (Para. 8-11)The third part of the text discusses the modern Olympic Games and how they have changed over the years. It mentions that the modern Olympic Games were not held during both World Wars and were boycotted by some countries in the past. The first Olympic Winter Games were held in 1924 in Chamonix, France. Women were allowed to compete in the Olympics for the first time in 1900. Now, the Olympic Games are held every four years and athletes from all over the world compete in various sports. The text also mentions the controversies surrounding the Olympic Games, such as doping scandals and the use of professional athletes.Part 3 Post-readingAfter reading the text, we can understand the history of the Olympic Games, including both the ancient and modern Olympic Games. We also learn about the significance of the Games in promoting peace and understanding among nations. Furthermore, we become aware of the changes and controversies that haveoccurred throughout the history of the Olympic Games. The Olympic Games have not only become a global sporting event but also a symbol of unity and friendly competition among nations. By participating in the Olympic Games, athletes have the opportunity to showcase their talents and represent their countries on an international stage. The Olympic Games continue to bring people together from different backgrounds and cultures, promoting a spirit of cooperation and mutual respect.。

2020新译林版高中英语选修第二册Unit2课文原文
Unit 2 Building the futureReadingRenewable energy: a gift for the futureThere was once a village surrounded by fertile fields with farmers tending their crops and farm animals grazing lazily below a mighty mountain. Then coal was discovered, and soon titanic-sized earth-digging machines circled the village. Villagers eagerly accepted the high-paid jobs the mining company provided, bringing a temporary economic boom. Meanwhile, the machines cut through everything in their path to access the coal buried beneath. Many years later, all that remained was a deserted village and an enormous hole.The scenario is tragic, but it only partly describes the damaging effects fossil fuels have on the environment when they are mined. Actually, once burnt, they produce a large quantity of carbon dioxide, which in turn traps heat and causes global warming. Humans are clearly facing a critical moment, so a move towards clean, renewable energy is inevitable. Renewable energy sources, which include solar, wind, hydroelectric, tidal, biomass and geothermal energy, are perfect alternatives to fossil fuels. One of the reasons is that their carbon dioxide emissions tend to be lower. A study found that renewable energy sources emit about 50g or less of carbon dioxide per kilowatt-hour over their lifetime, compared to about 1,000g for coal. Besides, fossil fuels are non-renewable, whose reserves are estimated to dry up one day in the future. In contrast, renewable energy sources are basically inexhaustible and will be available to us for a few billion more years if our planet remains safe and healthy.Countries around the world are racing towards a low-carbon future by investing in renewable energy sources. Renewable energy is now gradually being integrated into infrastructures, such as transport, communication and power supply systems. China is one of the countries embracing the renewable energy revolution. China manufactures state-of-the-art solar panels and wind turbines, and is the global leader in the production of batteries to power electric vehicles and store renewable energy on power grids. Renewable energy consumption accounts for more than 20 per cent of its total energy consumption, and this figure is increasing. Over the past decade, China has been ahead in the development and application of clean energy technologies.So, with these advantages and developments, why not completely replace fossil fuels with renewable energy? The truth is that producing power from renewable energy sources can be challenging. Renewable energy sources are not available everywhere and at any given moment. For instance,tidal energy is only available in coastal areas; solar and wind energy cannot produce power 24/7. A greater challenge is storing any extra energy in batteries for later use. Most current batteries do not have a storage capacity large enough to meet our daily power demands. Certain high-capacity batteries present problems, such as high manufacturing costs and related environmental damage.For instance, mining for the rare metals used in the batteries isexpensive,and when not properly recycled, the batteries leak dangerous chemicals into the environment.With these challenges in mind, a future with renewable energy may be difficult to predict. However,it is possible. Renewable energy sources exist in all kinds of places, including space. Space-based solar power projects aim to collect solar energy in outer space and distribute it everywhere it is needed on the Earth. A solar collector would be placed in a location where there is constant sunlight to capture higher levels of solar energy for longer periods. Scientists are also working hard to solve the energy storage problems. Thermal batteries, for instance, can store the extra renewable energy as heat up to the extremely high temperature of 1,000℃ in an inexpensive storage medium like sand or water. Compared with common batteries, these thermal batteries are considerably cheaper, and have a longer life as well as a higher storage capacity. Better still, they are completely recyclable.Without doubt, renewable energy will form a big part of our future. Looking forward, we should invest in new technologies and innovative thinking that open the door to a whole new world where we decrease reliance on fossil fuels. Renewable energy—a welcome gift for our future—will help us build a greener and healthier world. Extended readingGlobal warming:islands in hot waterThe Pacific Ocean covers around one third of the Earth’s surface. Scattered across this ocean are thousands of islands. In recent years, the people of these islands have noticed tides getting higher and storms getting worse. And they wonder—is their world about to change? Sadly, the fact is that the islands in the Pacific, especially low-lying coral ones, are suffering the serious effects of global warming.As global temperatures increase, so do sea levels. Increasing temperatures causes ice sheets and glaciers at the North and South Poles to melt, releasing additional water into the ocean. Warm water also takes up more room than cool water, so as the ocean warms, sea levels rise further. Scientists expect sea levels worldwide may rise by 0.6 to 1.1 metres or more by 2100 if the planet continues to warm. On the Pacific islands, the most obvious sign of rising sea levels is that at high tide, water moves further inland to flow into houses and over roads. In fact, beaches or even whole islands are disappearing: five of the Solomon Islands have already vanished beneath the waves since 1947! Increasing sea levels also contaminate t he islands’ freshwater supplies. When salty seawater seeps through the ground and gets into wells, the water becomes useless for drinking and irrigation. Besides, growing sea levels interfere with some islands’ natural reshaping processes. Usually, waves g radually remove sand from one side of an island and dump new sand on the other side. Unfortunately, however, risingwaves accelerate the process, and this certainly causes problems for anyone who lives on the side that is being washed away.Meanwhile, increasing global temperatures can have disastrous consequences in other ways. Extreme temperatures generate extreme rainfall patterns. Consequently, the islands go without life-sustaining rainfall for months, leading to crop failure and reduced freshwater reserves. Then suddenly too much comes at once, and precious soil and homes are washed away by the floods. For example, on the hilly Cook Islands, storms have given rise to landslides that carry islanders’ homes down the hillsides. Additionally, the annual tropical cyclones are becoming stronger and happening more frequently, resulting in more severe flooding and landslides. What is more, as the ocean warms, many coral reefs, which act as natural barrier and are home to a rich diversity of ocean species, are dying. Heat and extra carbon dioxide in the atmosphere hurt the corals that build the reefs. Without healthy reefs, fish move away, and the islanders have less to eat.Despite the challenges, the islanders are not giving up without a fight. For many island communities, fighting climate change is not a choice; it is a matter of survival. They are working with scientists and learning to protect their homes from flooding and storm surges by building seawalls from old bits of coral reefs. They are cutting down fewer trees, since trees hold onto soil. They are also planting mangrove trees to protect the coastal areas. To keep the damaging salt away from their crops, they are growing crops in containers. They are looking for crops that do not mind salty water. Hopefully, they can find a way to stay on their islands, at least for a while.However, some islanders have made a life-changing decision—moving away from the ocean. It is by no means easy as the ocean has been part of their lives for generations. An entire village on the island of Vanua Levu in Fiji abandoned their coastal homes to move up into the hills. Fortunately, they could begin a new life: buying land, building new houses and growing pineapples. Some miss their old life by the sea, but at least the hills provide refuge from the rising sea, and they are still together. Many of those whose islands have no hills are looking for homes on new islands, or even in new countries. Most do not want to leave, but with the ocean moving in, they feel they have no choice.No matter what solutions the islanders develop, their islands are still in hot water. Global warming requires not only islanders to fight back. After all, we are living in a human community with a shared future. Maybe we can take a lesson from the oceans. Melting ice in the Arctic makes higher waves in Fiji because all the oceans are connected—there are no walls between them. Change one, change all. If we need to tackle the problem of climate change, we will have to work together as one.。
