新概念英语第三册课程讲解篇一:新概念英语第三册课文及详解第1课Lesson 1 A puma at largePumas are large, cat-like animals which are found in America. When reports came into London Zoo that a wild puma had been spotted forty-five miles south of London, they were not taken seriously. However, as the evidence began to accumulate, experts from the Zoo felt obliged to investigate, for the descriptions given by people who claimed to have seen the puma were extraordinarily similar.The hunt for the puma began in a small village where a woman pickingblackberries saw ‘a large cat’only five yards away from her. It immediately ran away when she saw it, and experts confirmed that a puma will not attack a human being unless it is cornered. The search proved difficult, for the puma was often observed at one place in the morning and at another place twenty miles away in the evening. Wherever it went, it left behind it a trail of dead deer and small animals like rabbits. Paw prints were seen in a number of places and puma fur was found clinging to bushes. Several people complained of ‘cat-like noises’atnight and a businessman on a fishing trip saw the puma up a tree. Theexperts were now fully convinced that the animal was a puma, but where had it come from? As no pumas had been reported missing from any zoo in thecountry, this one must have been in the possession of a private collector and somehow managed to escape. The hunt went on for several weeks, but the puma was not caught. It is disturbing to think that a dangerous wild animal is still at large in the quiet countryside.Pay attention: The points below are not covered by the mp3. It is better for you to listen to the mp3 first and try to take notes by yourselves.1,a puma at largeat large1:逃遁的,没有被控制的。

Lesson40 Who’s whoIt has never been explained why university students seem to enjoy practical jokes more than anyone else. Students specialize in a particular type of practical joke: the hoax. Inviting the fire-brigade to put out a non-existent fire is a crude form of deception which no self-respecting student would ever indulge in, Students often create amusing situations which are funny to everyone except the victims. When a student recently saw two workmen using a pneumatic drill outside his university, he immediately telephoned the police and informed them that two students dressed up as workmen were tearing up the road with a pneumatic drill. As soon as he had hung up, he went over to the workmen and told them that if a policeman ordered them to go away, they were not to take him seriously. He added that a student had dressed up as a policeman and was playing all sorts of silly jokes on people. Both the police and the workmen were grateful to the student for this piece of advance information.The student hid in an archway nearby where he could watch and hear everything that went on. Sure enough, a policeman arrived on the scene and politely asked the workmen to go away. When he received a very rude reply from one of the workmen, he threatened to remove them by force. The workmen told him to do as he pleased and the policeman telephoned for help. Shortly afterwards, four more policemen arrived and remonstrated with the workmen. As the men refused to stop working, the police attempted to seize the pneumatic drill. The workmen struggled fiercely and one of them lost his temper. He threatened to call the police. At this, the police pointed out ironically that this would hardly be necessary as the men were already under arrest. Pretending to speak seriously, one of the workmen asked if he might make a telephone call before being takento the station. Permission was granted and a policeman accompanied him to a call-box. Only when he saw that the man was actually telephoning the police did he realize that they had all been the victims of a hoax.谁也弄不清为什么大学生好像比任何人都更喜欢恶作剧。

Lesson19 A very dear cat Kidnappers are rarely interested in Animals, but they recently took considerable interest in Mrs Eleanor Ramsay's cat. Mrs Eleanor Ramsay, a very wealthy old lady, has shared a flat with her cat, Rastus, for a great many years. Rastus leads an orderly life. He usually takes a short walk in the evenings and is always home by seven o'clock. One evening, however, he failed to arrive. Mrs Ramsay got very worried. She looked everywhere for him but could not find him.Three day after Rastus' disappearance, Mrs Ramsay received an anonymous letter. The writer stated that Rastus was in safe hands and would be returned immediately if Mrs Ramsay paid a ransom of &1000. Mrs Ramsay was instructed to place the money in a cardboard box and to leave it outside her door. At first, she decided to go to the police, but fearing that she would never see Rastus again --the letter had made that quite clear--she changed her mind. She drew &1000 from her bank and followed the kidnapper's instructions. The next morning, the box had disappeared but Mrs Ramsay was sure that the kidnapper would keep his word. Sure enough, Rastus arrived punctually at seven o'clock that evening. He looked very well, though he was rather thirsty, for he drank half a bottle of milk. The police were astounded when Mrs Ramsay told them what she haddone. She explained that Rastus was very dear to her. Considering the amount she paid, he was dear in more ways than one!绑架者很少对动物感兴趣。

新概念英语第三册(共60课)Lesson1 A puma at largePumas are large, cat-like animals which are found in America. Wh en report s came in to London Zoo that a wild puma had been spotted forty-five miles south of London, they were not taken seri ously. However, as t he evi dence b egan to acc umulate, e xperts from t he Zoo fe lt obliged to investigate, for the descriptions given by people who claimed to have seen the puma were extraordinarily similar.The hunt for the puma began in a small village where a woman picking blackberries saw 'a large cat' only five yards away from her. It immediately ran away when she saw it, and experts confirmed that a puma will not attack a human being unless it is cornered(adj.被困得走投无路的). The search proved difficult, for the puma was often observed at one place in the morning and at another place twenty miles away in the evening. Wherever it went, it left behind it a trail of dead dee r and small animals like rabbits. Pa w prints were seen in a number o f places and puma fur was found clinging to bushes. Several people complained of 'cat-like noises' at night and a b usinessman on a fishing trip saw the puma up a tree. The experts were no w fully convinced that the animal was a puma, but where had it come from ? As no pumas had been reported missing from any zoo in the country, this one must have been in the possession of a private collector and so mehow managed to escape. The h unt went on for several weeks, but the puma was not caught. It is disturbing to think that a dangerous wild animal is still at large in the quiet countryside.Lesson 2 Thirteen equals oneOur vicar is always raising money for one cause o r another, but he has never managed to get enough money to have the church clock repaired. The big clock which used to strike the hours day and night was damaged many years ago and has been silent ever since.' One night, however, our vicar woke up with a start: the clock was striking the hours! Looking at his watch, he saw that it was one o'clock, but the bell struck thirteen times before it stopped. Armed with a torch, the vicar went up i nto the clock tower to see what wa s going on. In t he torchlight, he caught sight of a figure whom he immediately recognized as Bill Wilkins, our local grocer. 'Whatever are you doing up here Bill ?' asked the vicar in surprise.' I'm trying to repair th e bell,' answered Bill.' I've been coming up here night after night for weeks now. You see, I was hoping to give you a surprise.''You certainly did give me a surprise!' said the vicar. 'Yo u've probably woken up everyone in the village as well. Still, I'm glad the bell is working again.''That's the trouble, vicar,' answered Bill. 'It's working all r ight, but I'm afraid that at one o'clock it will strike thirteen times and there's nothing I can do about it.''We'll get used to that Bill,' said the vicar. 'Thirteen is not as good as on e but it's better than nothing. Now let's go downstairs and have a cup of tea.'Lesson 3 An unknown goddessSome time ago,an interesting discovery was made by archaeologists on the Aegean(adj.爱琴海的;n.)island of Kea.An American team explored a temple which stands in an ancient city on the prom ontory of Ayia Irin i.The city at one t ime must have been pr osperous,for it enjoyed a high level of ci v ilization.Houses--often three storeys h igh--were built of stone.They had large rooms with beautifully decorated walls.The city was even equipped with a drainage system,for a great many clay pipes were found beneath the narrow streets.The t emple wh ich th e archaeologists explored was used as a place of worship from the fifteenth century B.C. until Roman times. In the most sacred room o f the temple, clay fragments of fifteen statues were found. Each of these re presented a goddess and had, at one time, been painted. The body of one statue wa s found among r emains dating from the f ifteenth century B.C. Its missing head happened to be among remains of the fifth century B.C. This head must have been found in Classical times and carefully preserved. It was very old and precious even then. When t he archaeologists recon structed the f ragments, t hey were a mazed to fi nd that t he goddess turned out to be a very modern-looking woman. She stood three feet high and her hands rested on her hip. She was wearing a ful l-length skirt which swept the ground. Despite her great age, she was very graceful indeed, but, so far, the archaeologists ha ve been unable to discover her identity.Lesson4 The double life of Alfred BloggsThese days, people who do manual work often r eceive far more money than c lerks who wor k in offices. People who work in offices are frequently referred to as' white collar workers' for the simple reason that they usually wear a collar and tie to go to work. Such is human nature, that a great many people are often willing to sacrifice higher pay for the privilege of b ecoming white collar workers. This can give rise to curious situations, as it did in the case of Alfred Bloggs who worked as a dustman for the Ellesmere Corporation.When he got married, Alf was too embarrassed to say anything to his wife about his job. He simply told her that he worked for the Corporation. Every morning, he left home dressed in a smart black suit. He then changed into overalls (n.工作服) and spent the next eight hours as a dustman. Before returning home at night, he took a shower and changed back into his suit. Alf did this for o ver two years and his fellow dustmen kept his s ecret. Alf's wife has never discovered that she married a dustman and she never will, for Alf has just found another job. He will soon be working in an office as a junior clerk. He will be earning only half as much as he used to, but he feels that his rise in status is well worth the loss of money. From now on, he will wear a suit all day and others will call him 'Mr. Bloggs', not 'Alf'.Lesson 5 The factsEditors of newspapers and magazines often g o to extremes to provide their readers with unimportant facts and statistics. Last year a journalist had been i nstructed by a well-known magazine to write an article on t he president's palace in a new Af r ican republic. When the article arrived, the editor read the first sentence a nd then refused to publish it. T he article began: 'Hundreds of steps lead to the high wall which surrounds the president's palace.' The editor at oncesent the journalist a fax instructing him to find out the exact number of steps and the height of the wall.The journalist immediately set out to obtain these important facts, but he took a long time to send them. Meanwhile, the editor was getting impatient, for the magazine would soon go to press. He sent the journalist two urgent telegrams, but received no reply. He sent yet another telegram informing t he jou rnalist t hat if h e di d not repl y soon he would be fired. Whe n the journalist again failed to reply, the editor reluctantly published the article as it had originally been written. A week later, the editor at last received a telegram from the journalist. Not only had the poor man been arrested, but he had been s ent to prison as well. However, he had at last been allowed to send a cable in which he informed the editor that he had been arrested while counting the 1084 steps leading to the 15-foot wall which surrounded the president's palace.Lesson 6 Smash-and-grabThe expensive shops in a famous ar cade near Piccadilly were just opening. At this time of the morning, the arcade was almost empty. Mr Taylor, the owner of a jewellery shop was admiring a new window display. Two of his assistants had been worki n g busily since 8 o'c lock and had only just finished. Diamond necklaces and rings had been be autifully arranged on a background of black velvet. After gazing at the display for several minutes, Mr Taylor went back into his shop.The silence w as suddenly brok en when a large car, w ith it s headlights on and it s h orn blaring, roared down the arcade. It came to a stop outside the jeweler's. One man stayed at t he wheel whi le two others wi th bl ack stocki ngs over their faces jumped out and smashed the window of the shop with iron bars. While this was going on, Mr Taylor was upstairs. He and his staff began throwing furniture out of the window. Chairs and tables went flying into the arcade. One of the thieves wa s struc k by a heavy s tatue, b ut he was too busy helping hi mself to diamonds to notice any pain. The raid w as all ov er in three minutes, for the men scrambled back into the car and it mov ed off at a f antastic speed. Just as it was leaving, Mr Taylor rushed out and ran after it throwing ashtrays and vases, but it was impossible to stop the thieves. T hey had got away with thousands of pounds worth of diamonds.Lesson 7 Mutilated ladiesChildren often have far more sense than their elders. This simple truth was demonstrated rather dramatically d uring a civil defence exer cise in a small town in Canad a. Most of the inhabitants were asked to take part in the exercise during which they had to pretend that their city had be en bombed. Air-raid warnings were sounded and t housands o f peo ple went i nto special air-raid shelters. Doctors and nurses remained above ground while Police patrolled the streets in case anyone tried to leave the shelters too soon.The police did not have much to do because the citizens took the exercise seriously. They stayed underground for twenty minutes and waited for the siren to sound again. On leaving the air-raid shelters, they saw tha t d octors and nurses wer e bus y. A great many people ha d volunteered to act as ca sualties. Theatrical make-up and artificial blood had been used to make the injuries look realistic. A lot of People were lying 'dead' in the streets. The living helped to carry the dead and wounded to special stations. A Child of six was brought in by two adults. The child was supposed to b e dead. With theatrical make-up on his face, he looked as if he had died of shock. Some people were so moved by the sight that they began to cry. However, the child suddenly sat up and a doctor asked him to comment on his death. The child looked around for a moment and said, 'I think they're all crazy!'Lesson8 A famous monasteryThe Great St Bernard Pass connects Switzerland to Italy. At 2470 metres, it is the highest mountain p ass i n Euro pe. The fa mous mona stery of St Bernard, w hich was founded i n t he eleventh century, lies about a mile away. For hundreds of years, St Bernard dogs have saved the lives of travellers crossing the dangerous Pass. These friendly dogs, which were first brought from Asia, were used as watch-dogs even in Roman times. Now that a tunnel has been b uilt through the mountains, the Pass is less dangerous, b ut each year, t he dogs are sti ll sent ou t into the snow whenever a traveller is in difficulty. Despite the new tunnel, there are still a few people who rashly attempt to cross the Pass on foot.During the summer months, the monastery is very busy, for it is visited by thousands of people who cross the Pass in cars, As there are so many people about, the dogs have to be kept in a special en closure. In winter, ho wever, life at the monastery is qu ite dif ferent. T he temperature drops to -30 and ver y few people attempt to cross the Pass. The monks Prefer winter to summer for they have mo re privacy. The dogs have greater freedom, too, for they are allowed to wander outside their enclosure. The only regular visitors to the monastery in winter are parties of skiers who go th ere at Christmas and Easter. These young people, who love the peace of the mountains, always receive a warm.Welcome at St Bernard's monastery.Lesson9 Flying cats 飞猫Cats never fail to fascinate human beings. They can be friendly and affectionate towards humans, but they lead mysterious lives of their own as well. They never become submissive like dogs and horses. As a result, humans have learned to respect feline independence. Most cats remain suspicious of humans all their lives. One of the things that fascinates us most about cats is the popular belief that they have nine lives. Apparently, they is a good deal of truth in this idea. A cat’s ability to survive falls is based on fact.Recently the New York Animal Medical Centre made a study of 132 ca ts over a period of five months. All these cats had one experience in common: they had fallen off high buildings, yet only eight of them died from shock or injuries. Of course, New Yorkis the ideal place for such an interesting study, because there is no shorta ge of tall buildings. There are plenty of high-rise windowsills to fall from! One cat, Sabrina, fell 32 storeys, yet only suffered from a broken tooth. ‘ Cats behave like well-trained paratroopers,’ a doctor said. It seems that the further cats fall, the less they are likely to injure themselves. In a long drop, th ey reach speeds of 60 miles an hour and more. At high speeds, falling cats have time to relax. They stretch out their legs like flying squirrel. This increases th eir air-resistance and reduces the shock of impact when they hit the ground.Lesson10 The loss of TitanicThe great ship, Titanic, s ailed for New Yor k from Southampton on April 10th, 1912. She was carrying 1316 passengers and a crew of 89l. Even by modern standards, the 46,000 ton Titanic was a colossal ship. At that time, however, she was not only the largest ship that had ever been built, but was regarded as unsinka ble, for she had sixteen water- tight compartments. Even if two of th ese were flooded, she would still be abl e to float. The tragic sinking of this great liner will always be remembered, for she went down on her first voyage with heavy loss of life.Four days after setting out, while the Titanic was sailing across the icy waters of the North Atlantic, a huge iceberg was suddenly spotted b y a look-out. After the alarm had been given, th e great ship turned sharp ly to avoid a direct collision. The Ti tanic turned just in time, narrowly missing the immense wall of ice which rose over100 feet out of the water beside her. Suddenly, there was a sligh t trembling sound from below, and the captain went down to see what ha d happened. The noise had been so faint tha t no one thought that the ship had been damaged. Below, the captai n realized to hi s horror that the Titanic was sinking rapidly, for fi ve of her sixteen water-tight comp artments had al ready been fl ooded ! T he or der to aba ndon ship was given and hundreds o f peopl e plunged i nto the i cy water. As there were not enough life-boats for everybody, 1500 lives were lost.Lesson11 Not guiltyGoing through the Customs is a tiresome business. The strangest thing about it is that really honest people are often made to feel guilty. The hardened professional smuggler, on the other hand, is never troubled by such feelings, even if he has five hundred gold watches hidden in his suitcase. When I returned from abroad recently, a particularly officious young Customs Officer clearly regarded me as a smuggler.'Have you anything to declare?' he asked, looking me in the eye.'No,' I answered confidently.'Would you mind unlocking this suitcase please ?''Not at all,' I answered.The Officer went through the case with great care. All the things I had packed so carefully were soon in a dreadful mess. I felt sure I would never be able to close the case again. Suddenly, I saw the Officer's face l ight up. He had s potted a ti ny bottle at the bottom o f my case a nd he po unced on it with delight.'Perfume, eh?' he asked sarcastically. 'You should have declared that.' Perfume is not exem pt from import duty.''But it isn't perfume,' I said.' It's hair-oil.' Then I added wit h a smile,' It's a strange mixture I make myself.' As I expected, he did not believe me.'Try it!' I said encouragingly.The Officer unscrewed the cap and p ut the bottle to his nostrils. He was g reeted by an unpleasant smell which convinced him that I was telling the truth. A few minutes later, I was able to hurry away with precious chalk-marks on my baggage.Lesson12 Life on a desert islandMost of us have formed an unrealistic picture of life on a desert island. We sometimes imagine a desert island to be a sort of par adise where the sun always shines. Life there is simple and good.Ripe fruit falls from the trees and you never have to work. The other side of the picture is quite the opposite. Life on a desert island is wretched. You either starve to death or live like Robinson Crusoe, waiting for a boat which never comes. Perhaps there is an element of t ruth in both these pictures, but few of us have had the opportunity to find out.Two men who recently spent five days on a co ral island wished they had stayed there longer. They were taking a badly damaged boat from the Virgin Islands to Miami to have it repaired. During the journey, their boat began to sink. They quickly loaded a small ru bber dinghy with food, matches, and tins o f beer and rowed for a few miles ac ross the Car ibbean until they arrived at a tiny coral island. There were hardly any trees on the island and there was no water, but this did not prove to be a problem. The men collected rain-water in the rubber dinghy. As they had brought a spear gun with them, they had plenty to eat. They caught lobs ter and fish every day, and, as one of them put it 'ate like kings'. When a passing tanker rescued them five days later, both men were genuinely sorry that they had to leave.Lesson13 It’s only meAfter her husband had gone to work, Mrs Richards sent her children to school and went upstairs to her bedroom. She was too excited to do any housework that morning, for in the evening she would be going to a fancy dress party with her husband. She intended to dress up as a ghost and as she had made her costume the night before, she was impatient to try it on. Though the costume consisted only of a sh eet, it was very effective. After putting it on, Mrs Richards went downstairs. She wanted to find out whether it would be comfortable to wear.Just as Mrs Richards was entering the dining-room, there w as a knock o n the front door. She knew that it must be the baker. She had told him to come straight in if ever she failed to open the door and to leave the bread o n the kitchen ta ble. Not wanting to frighten the poor man, Mrs Richards quickly hid in the small st ore-room under the stairs. S he heard the front door open a nd heavy footsteps in th e hall. Suddenly the door of the store-room was opened and a m an entered. Mrs Richards realized that it must be the man from the Electricity Board who had come to read the meter. She tried to explain the situation, saying' It's only me', but it was too late. The man let out a cry and jumped back several paces. When Mrs Richards walked towards him, he fled, slamming the door behind him.Lesson14 A noble gangsterThere was a time when t he owners of shop an d businesses in Chicago had to pay large sums of money t o gangs ters i n ret urn f or' protecti on' I f the money was not pai d p romptly, t he gangsters would quickly put a man o ut of business by destroying his shop. Obtaining 'protecho n money' is not a modern crime. As long ago as the fourteenth century, an Englishman, Sir John Hawkwood, made the remarkable discovery that people would rather pay large sums of money than have their life work destroyed by gangsters.Six hu ndred years ag o, Si r Joh n Hawkwood arrived i n Ital y wi th a band of soldiers an d settled near Fl orence. He soon mad e a name for himself and came to b e known to the Italians as Giovanni Acuto. Whenever the Italian city-states were at war with each other, Hawkwood used to hire his soldiers to princes who were willing to pay the high price he demanded. In times of peace, when business was bad, Ha wkwood and his men w ould march i nto a ci ty-state and, after burning down a fe w farms, wo uld offer to g o away i f protection money wa s p aid to them. Hawkwood made large sums of money in this way. In spite of this, the Italians regarded him as a sort of hero. When he died at the age of eighty, the Florentines gave him a state funeral and had a picture painted which was dedicated to the memory of 'the most valiant sold ier and most notable leader, Signor Giovanni Haukodue'.Lesson15 Fifty pence worth of troubleChildren always appreciate small gif ts of money. Father, of course, provides a regular su pply of pocket-money, but uncl e s and a unts are always a so urce of extra income. With s ome children, small sums go a long way. If sixpences are not exchanged for sweets, they rattle for months inside money-boxes. O nly very thri f ty children manage to fill up a money-box. For most of them, sixpence is a small price to pay for a satisfying bar of chocolate.My nephew, George, has a money-box but it is always empty. Very few of the sixpences I have given him have found their way there. I gave him sixpence yesterday and advised him to save it. Instead, he bought himself sixpence worth of trouble. On his way to the sweet shop, he dropped his sixpence a nd it rolled along the pavement a nd then disappe ared down a drain. George took offhis jacket, rolled up his sleeves and pushed his right arm through the drain cover. He could not find his sixpence anywhere, and what is more, he could not get his arm out. A crowd of people gathered round him and a lady rubbed his arm with soap a nd butter, b ut George was firmly stuck. The fire-brigade was ca lled and two firemen freed George using a special type of grease. George was not too upset by his experience because the lady who owns the sweet shop heard about his troubles and rewarded him with a large box of chocolates.Lesson16 Mary had a little lambMary and her husband Dimitri lived in the tiny village of Perachora in southern Greece. One of Mary's prize possessions was a l ittle white lamb which her husband had given her. She kept it tied to a tree in a field during the d ay and went to fetch it every evening. One evening, however, the lamb was missing. The rope had been cut, so it was obvious that the lamb had been stolen. When Dimitri came in from the fields, his wife told him what had happened. Dimitri at once set out to find the thief.He knew it would not prove difficult in such a s mall village. After telling several of his f riends about the theft, Dimitri found out that his neighbour, Aleko, had suddenly acquired a new lamb. Dimitri immediately went to Aleko's house and angrily accused him of stealing the lamb. He told him he had better return it or he would call the police. Aleko denied taking it and led Dimitri into his back-yard. It was true that he had just bought a lamb, he explained, but his lamb was black. Ashamed of having acted so rashly, Dimitri apologized to Aleko for having accused him. While they were talking it began to rain and Dimitri stayed in Alek o's house until the rain stopped. When he went outside half an hour later, he was astonished to find that the little black lamb was almost white. Its wool, which had been dyed black, had been washed clean by the rain !Lesson17 The longest suspension bridge in the worldVerrazano, an Italian about whom little is known, sailed into New York Harbour in 1524 and named it Angouleme. He described it as 'a very agreeable situation located within two small h ills in the midst of which flowed a great river.' Though Verrazano is by no means considered to be a great explorer, his name will pro bably remain immortal, for o n No vember 21st, 1964, the greatest bridge in the world was named after him.The Verrazano Bridge, which was designed by Othmar Ammann, joins Brooklyn to Staten Island. It has a span o f 4260 feet. The bridge is so long that the shape of the earth had to be taken into account by its designer. Two great towers support four huge cables. The towers are built on immense underwater platforms made of steel and concrete. The platforms extend to a depth of over 100 feet under th e sea. These alone took sixteen months to build. Abo ve the surface of the water, the towers rise to a height of nearly 700 feet. They support the cables from which the bridge has been suspended. Each of the four cables contains 26,108 lengths of wire. It has been estimated that if the bridge were packed with cars, it would still only be carrying a third of i t s total capacity. However, size and str ength are n ot the onl y important things about t his bridge. Despite its immensity, it is both simple an d elegant, fulfilling its designer's dream t o create 'an enormous object drawn as faintly as possible'.Lesson18 Electric currents in modern artModern sculpture rarely surprises us any more. The idea that modern art can only be seen in museums is mistaken. Even people who take no interest in art cannot have failed to notice examples of modern sculpture on display in public places. Strange forms stand in gardens, and outside buildings and shops. We have got quite used to them. Some so-called 'modern' pieces have been on display for nearly fifty years.In spite of this, some people--including myself--were surprised by a recent exhibition of modern sculpture. The first thing I saw when I entered the art gallery was a notice which said: 'Do not touch the exhibits. Some of them are dangerous!' The objects on display were pieces o f moving sculpture. Odd ly shaped forms that are suspended from the ceiling and move i n response t o a gust of wind are qu ite f amiliar t o ev erybody. Th ese object s, however, were different. Lined up against the wall, there were long thin wires attached to metal spheres. The spheres had been magnetized and a ttracted or repelled each other all the time. In the centre of the hall, there were a number of tall structures which contained coloured lights. These lights flickered continuously like traffic lights which have gone mad. Sparks were emitted from small black boxes and red lamps flashed on and off an grily. It w as rath er lik e an e xhibition of prehistoric electronic equipment. These Pecul iar forms not only seemed designed to shock people emotionally, but to give them electric shocks as well !Lesson19 A very dear catKidnappers are rarely interested in Animals, but they recently took considerable interest in Mrs Eleanor Ramsay's cat. Mrs Eleanor Ramsay, a very wealthy old lady, has shared a flat with her cat, Rastus, for a great many y ears. Rastus leads an orderly life. He usually takes a short walk in the evenings and is always home by seven o'clock. One evening, however, he failed to arrive. Mrs Ramsay got very worried. She looked everywhere for him but could not find him.Three day after Rastus' disappearance, Mrs Ramsay received an an onymous letter. The writer stated that Rastus was in safe hands and would be returned immediately if Mrs Ramsay paid a ransom of &1000. Mrs Ramsay was instructed to place the money in a cardboard box and to leave it outside her door. At first, she decided to go to the police, but fearing that she would never see Rastus again --the letter had made that quite clear--she changed her mind. She drew &1000 from her bank and followed the kidnapper's instructions. The next morning, the box had disappeared but Mrs Ramsay was sure that the kidnapper would keep his word. Sure enough, Rastus arrived punctually at seven o'clock that evening. He looked very well, though he was rather thirsty, for he drank half a bottle of milk. The police were astounded when Mrs Ramsay told them what she haddone. She explained that Rastus w as very dear to her. Considering the amount she paid, he was dear in more ways than one!。

Lesson 2 Thirteen equals one 十三等于一Our vicar is always raising money for one cause or another, but he has never managed to get enough money to have the church clock repaired. The big clock which used to strike the hours day and night was damaged many years ago and has been silent ever since.One night, however, our vicar woke up with a start: the clock was striking the hours! Looking at his watch, he saw that it was one o'clock, but the bell struck thirteen times before it stopped. Armed with a torch, the vicar went up into the clock tower to see what was going on. In the torchlight, he caught sight of a figure whom he immediately recognized as Bill Wilkins, our local grocer.'Whatever are you doing up here Bill ?' asked the vicar in surprise.' I'm trying to repair the bell,' answered Bill.' I've been coming up here night after night for weeks now. You see, I was hoping to give you a surprise.''You certainly did give me a surprise!' said the vicar. 'You've probably woken up everyone in the village as well. Still, I'm glad the bell is working again.''That's the trouble, vicar,' answered Bill. 'It's working all right, but I'm afraid that at one o'clock it will strike thirteen times and there's nothing I can do about it.''We'll get used to that, Bill,' said the vicar. 'Thirteen is not as good as one, but it's better than nothing. Now let's go downstairs and have a cup of tea.'Language pointsAttention: The points here are not covered by the mp3.

Lesson 1 A puma at largePumas are large, cat-like animals which are found in America. When reports came into London Zoo that a wild puma had been spotted forty-five miles south of London, they were not taken seriously. However, as the evidence began to accumulate, experts from the Zoo felt obliged to investigate, for the descriptions given by people who claimed to have seen the puma were extraordinarily similar.The hunt for the puma began in a small village where a woman picking blackberries saw 'a large cat' only five yards away from her. It immediately ran away when she saw it, and experts confirmed that a puma will not attack a human being unless it is cornered. The search proved difficult, for the puma was often observed at one place in the morning and at another place twenty miles away in the evening. Wherever it went, it left behind it a trail of dead deer and small animals like rabbits. Paw prints were seen in a number of places and puma fur was found clinging to bushes. Several people complained of 'cat-like noises' at night and a businessman on a fishing trip saw the puma up a tree. The experts were now fully convinced that the animal was a puma, but where had it come from? As no pumas had been reported missing from any zoo in the country, this one must have been in the possession of a private collector and somehow managed to escape. The hunt went on for several weeks, but the puma was not caught. It is disturbing to think that a dangerous wild animal is still at large in the quiet countryside.Language pointsPay attention: The points below are not covered by the mp3. It is better for you to listen to the mp3 first and try to take notes by yourselves.1,a puma at largeat large1:逃遁的,没有被控制的。

新概念英语第三册课文Lesson 1:A Puma at LargeTextA farmer in Puerto Rico had a strange experience. He was walking through a field one day when he realized that a huge puma was following him. The farmer was very frightened and tried to escape. He suddenly saw an old man who was working in the field. The farmer ran to the old man and told him about the puma. ‘Ah,’ said the old man, ‘he** won’t hurt you. He is old and almost blind. He is no longer a danger to anyone.’ ’But sir,’ said the farmer, ‘I’m afraid of** him.’ ‘Then take my advice,’ said the old man. ‘Don’t run away. Just keep on walking steadily towards him whenever you see him. Show him that you are not afraid and he will never attack you.’ The following day the farmer was walking through the field with a friend. Once again, the puma was behind him. The farmer followed the old man’s advice and didn’t run away. When the puma was only a few yards away, it suddenly jumped to one side and disappeared into the bushes.ExplanationThis lesson tells the story of a farmer in Puerto Rico who encounters a puma while walking through a field. Initially frightened, the farmer seeks help from an old man working in the field. The old man assures the farmer that the puma, being old and almost blind, poses no harm to him.Des pite his fear, the farmer follows the old man’s advice not to run away from the puma but to walk steadily towards it whenever he sees it. The next day, accompanied by a friend, the farmer once again encounters the puma. This time, he demonstrates his fearlessness by calmly walking towards the puma. Surprisingly, the puma jumps to one side and disappears into the bushes, leaving the farmer unharmed.This lesson highlights the importance of overcoming fear and facing challenges head-on. It suggests that by confidently confronting our fears, we can often find that they hold less power over us than we initially believed.Lesson 2: A close shaveTextOne day in 1902, in a small town in the west of England, a young woman made a phone call to the local police. She said that she had just seen a big grey animal with a long tail. It had come out of a wood and was running across a field. The woman added that it looked like a huge cat. The police didn’t take her seriously and said that a cat as big as a cow was impossible. But the woman insisted that she was right. ‘It may be a puma,’ she said. ‘There’s a zoo near here and one of the pumas has** escaped. I am absolutely certain that what I saw was a puma.’ The police still didn’t believe her, until the following day when a bus driver saw the animal. He** saw** it in the afternoon and it was only a few miles away from the town. Two days later, there were two more sightings of the puma. Then a farmer in a village ten miles away saw it one evening and others saw it too. The police now had proof that there was a puma in the area. They asked the army to help them find the animal. Soldierswith guns were brought to the town and the police were given orders to shoot the puma on sight. The poor puma didn’t stand a chance.ExplanationIn this lesson, a young woman in a small town in the west of England reports seeing a big grey animal with a long tail. She describes the animal as resembling a huge cat. However, the local police dismiss her claims, considering a cat of that size to be impossible.Undeterred, the woman suggests that the animal could be an escaped puma from a nearby zoo. The police remain skeptical until the following day when a bus driver also spots the animal a few miles from the town. Subsequently, there are several more sightings of the puma, including by a farmer in a nearby village.With mounting evidence, the police seek assistance from the army to locate and capture the puma. Orders are given to shoot the animal on sight. Unfortunately, the puma’s fate is sealed a s the armed forces are called in to deal with the situation.This lesson highlights the danger of jumping to conclusions and dismissing others’ claims without proper investigation. It also provides insight into the challenges that arise when dealing with potentially dangerous animals in a public setting.Lesson 3: A new houseText‘We are moving to the country,’ said Mother. ‘It is much better for children to grow up in the country than in a town. We are not so near the shops there,’ said Mother, ‘so we sha ll not be able to get things so easily.’ ‘That will be nice, Mummy,’ said Jane. ‘Nice, but** expensive,’ said Father. ‘We shall have room for hens and pigs and ducks,’ said Jane. ‘That will be fun.’ Last week Father found a house for us. It is small, but comfortable, and it stands in a garden. In the garden, there is a large tree with** thick leaves**. Under the tree, my mother wants to put a table and some chairs. She wants to serve tea under the tree in the summer. My mother wants to have tea under the tr ee, but I don’t want to. All sorts of things fall from the tree, things like caterpillars and snails. I don’t want caterpillars in my tea. Mother said, ‘Don’t be silly, Jane. Caterpillars won’t fall into the teapot.’ExplanationLesson 3 describes a family’s decision to move from the town to the country. The mother believes that living in the country will be better for the children’s upbringing. However, the father expresses concern about the increased expenses of living in a rural area.The family finds a small but comfortable house with a garden. In the garden stands a large tree with thick leaves. Jane, the daughter, envisions the garden becoming home to hens, pigs, and ducks, providing fun for the family.However, Jane is hesitant about her mother’s plan to serve tea under the tree in the summer. She worries that things like caterpillars and snails may fall from the tree and into the tea.Her mother dismisses her concerns, assuring her that caterpillars will not fall into the teapot.This lesson emphasizes the differences in perspective between children and adults and captures the relatable experience of having unique concerns and anxieties about seemingly ordinary situations.ConclusionThe third volume of the New Concept English series covers interesting and diverse lessons, ranging from encounters with dangerous animals to the excitement and challenges of moving to a new house. Each lesson offers a unique perspective and explores different themes, allowing learners to expand their English language skills while immersing themselves in engaging and thought-provoking content.With its carefully structured texts and comprehensive explanations, the New Concept English series continues to be a valuable resource for English language learners seeking to improve their reading, comprehension, and vocabulary skills.。

Lesson 2 Thirteen equals one 十三等于一Our vicar is always raising money for one cause or another, but he has never managed to get enough money to have the church clock repaired. The big clock which used to strike the hours day and night was damaged many years ago and has been silent ever since.One night, however, our vicar woke up with a start: the clock was striking the hours! Looking at his watch, he saw that it was one o'clock, but the bell struck thirteen times before it stopped. Armed with a torch, the vicar went up into the clock tower to see what was going on. In the torchlight, he caught sight of a figure whom he immediately recognized as Bill Wilkins, our local grocer.'Whatever are you doing up here Bill ?' asked the vicar in surprise.' I'm trying to repair the bell,' answered Bill.' I've been coming up here night after night for weeks now. You see, I was hoping to give you a surprise.''You certainly did give me a surprise!' said the vicar. 'You've probably woken up everyone in the village as well. Still, I'm glad the bell is working again.''That's the trouble, vicar,' answered Bill. 'It's working all right, but I'm afraid that at one o'clock it will strike thirteen times and there's nothing I can do about it.''We'll get used to that, Bill,' said the vicar. 'Thirteen is not as good as one, but it's better than nothing. Now let's go downstairs and have a cup of tea.'Language pointsAttention: The points here are not covered by the mp3. It is better for you to listen to the mp3 first and try to take notes on your own.1, Our vicar is always raising money for one cause or another, but he has never managed to get enough money to have the church clock repaired.现在进行时和always 等频度副词的搭配--表示说话人带有的情感色彩Tom is always doing homework.He is always making noises.one or another 表示某种、这样或那样get enough money 筹集足够的资金来做某事have sth. done 找某人来做某事e.g. have the plane repaired 修飞机have hair cut 剪头发tip: 在翻译中,不一定要把"找人"这两个字翻译出来,但是读者可以据常理推断这件事不是句中的主语做出的。

让我们来下下面这两句话:His wallet was stolen.He had his wallet stolen.某人所遭受到的意外某种情况-----主语必须是发出动作的人2, The big clock which used to strike the hours day and night was damaged many years ago and has been silent ever since.used to:过去常常做,而现在不再发生的事情了e.g. He used to smoke every day.3, One night, however, our vicar woke up with a start.however 用于口语,主要用于句首;用于作文中时,最好用在句中、句尾,要用逗号分隔开来e.g. I know his story, however, I wouldn't like to tell you.I know his story, I, however, wouldn't like to tell you.however 可用nevertheless, nonetheless 替换start: 惊跳、惊奇Eg: The voice made him start. 那声音吓了他一跳。

What a start you give me.你真吓了我一跳4, The bell struck thirteen times before it stopped.before ...才e.g. Nearly a week past before he could explain what had happen to him.文中的例句,我们也可以这么表达:The bell did not stop until it struck thirteen times.It was not until the thirteenth stroke that the bell stopped.tip: 体会用不同的搭配表达同种意思, not... until...\It was not until...that... 知道...才...5, Looking at his watch, he saw that it was one o'clock.Armed with a torch, the vicar went up into the clock tower to see what was going on.分词做状语时,一定要注意它和逻辑主语要呼应一致。

第一个句子中,动作look和主语he之间是主动关系,因而用了现在分词。

第二个句子中,动作arm和主语the vicar之间是被动关系,所以用了过去分词。

我们可以将状语还原成句子:The vicar was armed with a torch then he went up into the clock tower.6, In the torchlight, he caught sight of a figure whom he immediately recognized as Bill Wilkins, our local grocer.In the torchlight 在电筒光下非正式用语中whom可以省略掉recognize sb as 认出某人是搭配相近的词组有:regard sb as 把某人认作think of sb as 把某人看作treat sb as(把某人对待为)have on sb as(把某人尊敬为)7, Whatever are you doing up here Bill ?whatever用于疑问句中,加强what的语气,作"究竟什么"解释。

8, I've been coming up here night after night for weeks now.night after night 一夜连着一夜,这里也可用every night代替,表示没有一夜例外。

after在这里表示:一个接着一个这种A after A 的词组还有:day after day / year after year / week after week / bus after bus9, You certainly did give me a surprise!肯定句中常用助动词do, did, does加强语气和情感色彩,一定要位于动词原形之前。

文中在did之前,还用了副词certainly,意思是"的确",进一步加强了语气。

e.g. You do look beautiful today. 你今天看起来真漂亮。

10, You've probably woken up everyone in the village as well.as well用在句尾相当于too, 主要用在肯定句中,但比too所表达的语意更优秀。

11, Still, I'm glad the bell is working again.still用于句首,用逗号分隔开来,表达一个转折的关系。

意思是尽管如此,依旧,仍然这里still = Just the same,本句也可这样表达:All the same, I am glad the bell is working again.12, We'll get used to that, Bill.get used to , be used to do, be accustomed to, get accustomed to 都表示习惯于get强调渐进的过程,be强调习惯了的状态e.g. We are used to the cold weather here.You will get used to the cold weather here.你很快会适应这寒冷的天气的。
