Unit 6

Section A

1b Listen and match the inventions with the years.

Alice: Was your life very difficult when you were a kid?

Grandma: Oh, not really. Why?

Alice: Well, you didn’t have modern inventions like a telephone, right?

Grandma: Of course we did! How old do you think I am? The telephone was invented in 1876. You need to take a history class, Alice!

Alice: Haha! How about cars? They weren’t invented yet, were they?

Grandma: Yes, they were. Cars were invented in 1885. My family had a car.

Alice: Well, did you have a TV?

Grandma: No, we couldn’t afford one. They were expensive in those days. The TV was invented around 1927, I think.

Alice: Well, I know that you didn’t have a computer because we learned in school that personal computers were invented in 1976.

Grandma: You’re right. But I have one now!

1b 听录音，把发明和年份搭配起来。

艾丽斯：你小时候生活很难吗？

奶奶：哦，不是很难。怎么了？

艾丽斯：噢，你们没有像电话这样的现代发明，对吗？

奶奶：我们当然有！你认为我有多老？电话是在1876年发明的。你要上历史课了，艾丽斯！艾丽斯：哈哈！那么汽车呢？它们还没有发明，对吗？

奶奶：不，发明了。汽车是在1885年发明的。我家里有一辆汽车。

艾丽斯：好吧，你们有电视机吗？

奶奶：没有。我们买不起。它们在那个时代很贵。我想电视机是在大约1927年发明的。

艾丽斯：嗯，我知道你们没有电脑，因为我们在学校里学过个人电脑是在1976年发明的。奶奶：对。但现在我有一台！

2a Listen and number the inventions ［1-3］in the order you hear them.

Alex: Hi, Carol. Wow, what are those?

Carol: Hello, Alex. Oh, these are some of the interesting inven tions that I’m writing about for my English homework.

Alex: I see…What’s that, then?

Carol: They’re shoes with lights. People use them for seeing in the dark when you get up at night. Alex: Oh, that’s a cool idea! I always hit my toe on something on the wa y to the bathroom at night.

Carol: Next is a special ice-cream scoop. This is my favorite invention. It runs on electricity and becomes hot.

Alex: I know what it’s for! It’s use d for serving really cold ice-cream.

Carol: Yes, that’s right! The last invention I’m going to write about is shoes with special heels. You can move the heels up and down.

Alex: What are they used for?

Carol: Well, you can change the style of your shoes. You can raise the heels if you are going to a party or lower them if you are just going out for shopping.

2a 听录音，按你听到它们的顺序给这些发明编号［1~3］。

亚历克斯：你好，卡罗尔。哇，那些是什么？

卡罗尔：你好，亚历克斯。哦，这些是我要在英语作业中写到的一些有趣的发明。

亚历克斯：我知道了……那么，那是什么？

卡罗尔：它们是带灯的鞋。当晚上起床时，人们用它们在黑暗中看东西。

亚历克斯：哦，那是一个很酷的主意！我总是在晚上去卫生间的路上碰到脚趾。

卡罗尔：接下来是一个特别的冰激凌勺。这是我最喜爱的发明。它靠电运行，接着变热。亚历克斯：我知道它的用途！它是用来加热非常凉的冰激凌的。

卡罗尔：是的，正确！我要写的最后一项发明是有特殊后跟的鞋。你可以上下移动后跟。亚历克斯：它们的用途是什么？

卡罗尔：噢，你可以改变你的鞋子的风格。如果你打算参加聚会，你可以增高你的鞋跟；或者如果只是出去购物，你可以降低鞋跟。
