It happened to me recently.I was telling someone how much I had enjoyed reading Barack Obama's Dreams From My Father and how it had changed my views of our President.A friend I was talking to agreed with me that it was，in his words，“a brilliantly(精彩地) written

book”．Howeve r，he then went on to talk about Mr. Obama

in a way which suggested he had no idea of his background at all.I sensed that I was talking to a book liar.

And it seems that my friend is not the only one.Approximately two thirds of people have lied about reading a book which they haven't.In the World Book Day's

Dreams From My Father is at “Report on Guilty Secrets”，

number 9.The report lists ten books，and various authors，which people have lied about reading，and as I'm not one

to lie too often (I'd hate to be caught out)，I'll admit here and now that I haven't read the entire top ten.But I am pleased

to say that，unlike 42 percent of people，I have read the book at number one，George Orwell's 1984.I think it's really brilliant.

The World Book Day report also has some other interesting information in it.It says that many people lie about having read Jane Austen，Charles Dickens，Fyodor Dostoevsky (I haven't read him，but haven't lied about it either) and Herman Melville.

Asked why they lied，the most common reason was to someone they were speaking to.This could be “impress”　

But when asked which authors they actually enjoy，people named J．K.Rowling，John Grisham，Sophie Kinsella (ah，the big sellers，in other words)．

percent of people asked admitted they turned to the back

of the book to read the end before finishing the story (I'll

come clean：I do this and am astonished that 58 percent

said they had never done so)．

【解题导语】作者通过跟朋友的读书交流，揭示了一

种社会上人们读书的现象。

1．How did the author find his friend a book liar?

A．By judging his manner of speaking.

B．By looking into his background.

C．By mentioning a famous name.

D．By discussing the book itself.

答案 D [推理判断题。根据文章第一段的最后两句

“Ho w ever, he then went on to talk abour Mr. Obama in a

way which suggested he had no idea of his background at

all. I sensed that I was talking to a book liar.”可以推断出通过讨论这本书的内容作者进而发现朋友在撒谎，故选D。其

中，选项A在文中没有体现；选项B偷梁换柱，利用文中出

现的his(Mr. Obama) background来迷惑考生；选项C看似

在文中首段第二、三句有所体现，但它并不能很好地回答题

干所提出的问题，答非所问，故排除。]

2．Which of the following is a “guilty secret” according to the World Book Day report?

A．

B．42% of people pretended to have read 1984.

C．The author admitted having read 9 books.

D．Dreams From My Father is hardly read.

答案 B [细节理解题。根据文章第二段最后两句“But I am pleased to say that, unlike 42 percent of people, I have read the book at number one, George Orwell's 1984. I

A和D提到的细节think it's really brilliant.”可知答案。选项

在文中是有出现，但是选项的内容无法从文章中得出结论；

选项C的信息作者在本文没有叙述。]

3．By lying about reading，a person hopes to________.

A．control the conversation

B．appear knowledgeable

C．learn about the book

D．make more friends

答案 B [推理判断题。根据文章第四段第一句“Asked

s' why they lied, the most common reason was to ‘impres someone they were speaking to.”可知答案为B项。] 4．What is the author's attitude to 58% of readers?

A．Favorable. B．Uncaring.

C．Doubtful. D．Friendly.

答案 C [作者态度题。结合文章大意，以及文中最后

出现的“...am astonished that 58 percent said they had never done so”可知，作者对58% of readers持怀疑态度，

故C项(怀疑的)符合文意。选项B(不予关注的)，显然错误，

作者若不予以关注就不会写出这篇文章。]

必修二课文及翻译

必修二 Unit 1 In search of the amber room Frederick William I, the king of Prussia, could never have imagined that his greatest gift to the Russian people would have such an amazing history. This gift was the Amber Room, which was given this name because several tons of amber were used to make it. The amber which was selected had a beautiful yellow-brown color like honey. The design of the room was in the fancy style popular in those days. It was also a treasure decorated with gold and jewels, which took the c ountry’s best artists about ten years to make. In fact, the room was not made to be a gift. It was designed for the palace of Fredrick I. However, the next King of Prussia, Fredrick William I, to whom the amber room belonged, decided not to keep it. In 1716 he gave it to Peter the Great. In return, the Czar sent him a troop of his best soldiers. So the Amber Room became part of the Czar’s winter palace in St Petersburg. About four meters long, the room served as a small reception hall for important visitors. Later, Catherine Ⅱ had the Amber Room moved to a palace outside St Petersburg where she spent her summers. She told her artists to add more details to it. In 1770 the room was completed the way she wanted. Almost six hundred candles lit the room, and its mirrors and pictures shone like gold. Sadly, although the Amber Room was considered one of the wonders of the world, it is now missing. In September 1941, the Nazi army was near St Petersburg. This was a time when the two countries were at war. Before the Nazis could get to the summer palace, the Russians were able to remove some furniture and small art objects from the Amber Room. However, some of the Nazis secretly stole the room itself. In less than two days 100000 pieces were put inside twenty-seven wooden boxes. There is no doubt that the boxes were then put on a train for Konigsberg, which was at a time a German city on the Baltic Sea. After that, what happened to the Amber Room remains a mystery. Recently, the Russians and Germans have built a new Amber Room at the summer palace. By studying old photos of the former Amber room, they have made the new one look like the old one.

人教版新课标必修2u n i t1课文原文和翻译w o r d格式 IN SEARCH OF THE AMBER ROOM Frederick William Ⅰ，the King of Prussia , could never have imagined that his greatest gift to the Russian people would have such an amazing history . This gift was the Amber Room , which was given this name because several tons of amber were used to make it . The amber which was selected had a beautiful yellow-brown colour like honey . The design of the room was in the fancy style popular in those days . It was also a treasure decorated with gold and jewels , which took the country's best artists about ten years to make . In fact , the room was not made to be a gift . It was designed for the palace of Frederick Ⅰ. However, the next King of Prussia , Frederick William Ⅰ,to whom the amber room belonged, decided not to keep it. In 1716 he gave it to Peter the Great. In return , the Czar sent him a troop of his best soldiers. So the Amber Room because part of the Czar's winter palace in St four metres long, the room served as a small reception hall for important visitors . Later,Catherine Ⅱhad the Amber Room moved to a palace outside St Petersburg where she spent her summers. She told her artists to add more details to it .In 1770 the room was completed the way she wanted . Almost six hundred candles lit the room ,and its mirrors and pictures shone like gold. Sadly , although the Amber Room was considered one of the wonders of the world , it is now missing . In September 1941, the Nazi army was near St Petersburg . This was a time when the two countries were at war . Before the Nazis could get to the summer palace , the Russians were able to remove some furniture and small art objects from the Amber Room . However , some of the Nazis secretly stole the room itself . In less than two days 100,000 pieces were put inside twenty-seven woooden boxs . There is no doubt that the boxs were then put on a train for Konigsberg, which was at that time a German city on the Baltic Sea . After that, what happened to the Amber Room remains a mystery . Recently , the Russians and Germans have built a new Amber Room at the summer palace . By studying old photos of the former Amber Room , they have made the new one look like the old one .In 2003 it was ready for the people of St Petersburg when they celebrated the 300th birthday of their city . A FACT OR AN OPINION What is a fact Is it something that people believe No. A fact is anything that can be proved. For example, it can be proved that China has more people than any other country in the world. This is a fact. Then what is an opinion An opinion is what someone believes is true but has not been proved. So an opinion is not good evidence in a trial. For example, it is an opinion if you say “Cats are better pets than dogs”. It may be true, but it is difficult to prove. Some peo ple may not agree with this opinion but they also cannot prove that they are right. In a trial, a judge must decide which eyewitnesses to believe and which not to believe. The judge does not consider what each eyewitness looks like or where that person lives or works. He/she only cares about whether the eyewitness has given true information, which must be facts rather than opinions. This kind of information is called evidence. 人教版新课标必修2 unit2 课文原文word格式 AN INTERVIEW Pausanias, who was a Greek writer about 2,000 years ago, has come on a magical journey on March 18th 2007 to find out about the present-day Olympic Games.
