Module1 Wonders of the world
Unit 1 It’s more than 2,000 years old.
Tony: Let's call Wonders of the World and join in the discussion. I think natural wonders are more interesting than man-made ones. And I think the Giant's Causeway is the most fantastic natural
wonder.
Lingling: Hm, I’ve never seen it, so I'm not sur e I agree with you. Why do you like it, Tony?
Tony: Well, I visited the Giant's Causeway two years ago. It's huge. There're about 40,000 rocks, most of them with six sides. It goes for several hundred metres on the eastern coast of Northern
Ireland
Lingling: That sounds great, though I think Victoria Falls in Africa are even more fantastic. They're about l,700 metres wide and 100 metres high. You can hear the loud noise a few kilometres away. Betty: Wow, that's huge! But in my opinion, man-made wonders are more exciting than natural ones.
Look at the Terracotta Army. It's more than 2.000 years old.
Daming: I agree with you, Betty. And I think the Three Gorges Dam is fantastic too. It's about 2,300 metres long, 185 metres high and 15 metres wide at the top. It produces electricity for millions
of people in China.
Betty: Now, who'd like to call first?
Module 1 Wonders of the world
Unit 1: It’s more than 2000 yea rs old.
托尼:我们给《世界奇观》节目打电话,加入讨论吧。我觉得自然奇观比人造奇观更有趣。而且我认为巨人之路是最神奇的自然奇观。
玲玲:嗯,我没有见过巨人之路,所以我不知道该不该同意你的看法。你为什么会喜欢它呢,托尼?托尼:哦,两年前我浏览了巨人之路。它非常大,由大约4万多块石块组成,大多数石块都有六个面。巨人之路位于北爱尔兰东海岸,绵延数百米。
玲玲:听起来很神奇,但我认为非洲的维多利亚瀑布更壮观。瀑布宽约1700米,高约100米,数千米之外就能听到瀑布的巨响。
贝蒂:哇!那么大啊!但是,在我看来,人造奇观比自然奇观更激动人心。就说兵马俑吧,它们都有两千多年的历史了。
大明:我同意你的看法,贝蒂。我觉得三峡大坝也很神奇。大坝长约2300米,高185米,顶部宽15米。它为中国数百万的人口供电。
贝蒂:那现在谁来拨打热线?
Unit 2 The Grand Canyon was not just big.
A great wonder of the natural world
When I arrived, it was early morning and it was raining. I looked to the east -- the sky was becoming grey. I got out of the car, went through a gate and walked along a dark path. There was nothing to see, but I knew it was there.
After about a mile, a stranger appeared beside the path. "Am I going the right way?" I asked. He knew where I was going. "Yes,” he replied, “you’ll get there in five minutes," Finally, I came to some rocks and stopped. I looked over them, but it was silent and there was no sign of it.
Suddenly, the rain stopped and the clouds cleared. The sun rose behind me and shone on the rocks. Far below me, the ground fell away and down to a river. I was looking across one of the wonders of the natural world - the Grand Canyon.
I looked down to the Colorado River, a silver stream nearly one mile below me. If you put the two tallest buildings in the world on top of each other at the bottom of the canyon, they still would not reach the top. Then I looked across to the other side of the canyon. It was about fifteen miles away, maybe more. Finally, I looked to my left and to my right, and on both sides the canyon went far away for more than 200
