Warm-up
Tapescript
1 It was a dark and foggy night. We drove and drove. At midnight, just as we thought we were lost, we saw a light behind some trees. As we got nearer, we could see a house. It looked abandoned. We knocked on the heavy door. It opened slowly. A tall man dressed entirely in black stood there. “Good evening,” he said in a slow, deep voice. “I've been expecting you.”
2 We were travelling through deep space at the speed of light. Suddenly, the spaceship slowed down and immediately the system came into view – a bright star with twenty or more planets. One of these would be our new home, five light years from our own planet.
3 One of my earliest memories is of my father running along the beach with our dog, Tess. I must have been about three years old. I remember the dog jumping up on me and knocking me over into the water.
4 The man lay on the ground next to a white truck. There was no doubt. He was dead. I quickly looked in the pockets of his jacket – some money, a handkerchief and a theatre ticket with a Chicago phone number
written on it. Three murders in three weeks and the victims all killed in the same way.
5 Once upon a time, there lived a beautiful princess. She was an only child and her father and mother, the king and queen, loved her very much. One day, an old woman came to the castle. When she saw the princess, she smiled and laughed in a strange and horrible way.
Lesson 1 Stories from History
Pompeii: The city that became a time capsule
Around the end of the first century AD, a Roman writer called Pliny wrote about a terrible volcanic eruption that he had witnessed as a young man. The eruption had occurred on August 24th, 79 AD. The earth began to tremble and a volcano named Vesuvius, near Pompeii, Italy, erupted. Pliny described a cloud coming down the mountain, blocking out the sun and burying everything in its path, including whole villages and towns.
This particularly sad event left a deep impression on Pliny who had lost an uncle in the eruption. Yet, over the centuries, there was a greater loss. The people, towns and villages that had disappeared under the ashes were entirely forgotten by the world.
However, more than 1,600 years later, some scientists found the lost towns that had been buried under the ashes. By 1748, they had found an

模块3 U7 L1 1 The Spirit of Explorers Viking Voyages to America The Vikings were the first Europeans to reach America. They achieved this long before Columbus ever set sail. The Vikings were a group of people whose ancestors came from Scandinavia. They controlled the seas and coasts of Northern Europe between the 8th and 10th centuries AD. By around 900 AD, there were many places in Northern Europe where the Vikings chose to live. In 982 AD, when a man called Eric the Red decided to set sail further west, there were as many as 10,000 Vikings living in Iceland. According to the old stories of Iceland and Norway, Eric the Red was forced to leave Iceland because he had committed a murder, for which he got into trouble. Eric reached Greenland and discovered that people could live in the place where he landed. He returned to Iceland and told people there about Greenland. He persuaded some people to go back with him to Greenland. Eric set sail once again, this time with 25 ships, of which only 14 made it to Greenland. Not long after Eric the Red had landed in Greenland, a man called Biarni set sail from Iceland in search of Eric's party. Biarni was hoping to join his father who was with Eric, but he was blown off course and found himself in an unknown land, from where he eventually reached Greenland. In the year 1002, when Eric the Red's son Leif was planning a trip further west, Biarni was the man with whom Leif discussed his plans. Leif followed Biarni's directions and sailed to what is believed to be the coast of present-day Canada. He then sailed further south to an island which is now known as Newfoundland. We know about Eric the Red and Leif's deeds through stories which were written down centuries later in Norway and Iceland. They are the first records we have of Europeans sailing to the Americas. U7 L3 3 The Sea World UNDER WATER WORLD The Best place to See Sea Creatures Polar World We have polar bears and a real iceberg too! You can only see a small part of it above the water. It's three times as big underwater. Watch the acrobatic seals at feeding time. Meet our less energetic but more friendly penguins. You'll love them! Ocean Floor See some of the most beautiful coral and the most unusual fish in the world. Watch some fish “flying” through the water. They are less colourful than some other fish but they move beautifully. Sea Theatre See our intelligent dolphins. There are fantastic shows every two hours. Discovery Pool Especially for younger children. They can touch crabs and other smaller creatures. They can be educated about daily life on the beach in this exciting area. Virtual Reality Voyage Our most up-to-date attraction. Come with us on a “virtual reality” trip to the ocean floor and see some of the strangest fish in the world.

Lesson 1 安格斯*伊德莱采访前百万富翁查尔斯雷时。查尔斯说：‘谁想当百万符文呢？我不想很多人一心想成为百万富翁。他们花一半的时间追求致富的方法。另一半的时间则在琢磨一旦富裕起来要做些什么。但是，是否所有的百万富翁真正得到了他们要实现的目标前所想的幸福呢、其实，有些人成为百万富翁后还有其他的烦恼———他们拼命的到的财富，怎样拼命以确保不在失去这些财富。 但是也有人把自己的百万资产置于一边，选择不同的人生的路，查二斯就是这样的一个人。 16年前，查尔斯是大学教授，住着一有六个卧室的房子，有着百万的资产，而现在住的则是小宿舍的房间，家具都是二手的，没有任何的迹象表明查尔斯是个富人没房间外有个小花园，花园里种着几个果树，查尔斯自己种植蔬菜和花，衣服和家具的用品都是从慈善点买的。 但是查尔斯喜欢折中改变。查尔斯对这样的富人的生活方式感到高兴。他不在想做在许多人一无所有的情况下自己拥有一切的那种人，他选择了了把自己的钱财送给别人，他说这样会给他带来快乐。 查尔斯说：几年前，我曾经是个百万富翁，但是我意识到世界上还有许多的忍受疾饿的穷人。因此他把所有的钱财捐给了慈善机构，当只剩下两千美元的时候，他将小额的纸币散发给当地的贫困街区的穷人，难道他真的举得自己像圣诞老人吗？查尔斯说这么做具有乐趣。 查尔斯相信很多人盼望着挣一大笔钱解除烦恼，然而，大多数的人根本没有挣多那么多的钱，查尔斯*格雷决定退出富人网，他发现拥有少量的钱会给人自由，难道真的没有什么让他依旧怀念的吗？查尔斯答道：没有，我现在更快乐了。什么也不可能在回到富人的行列——决不可能。 Lesson 3 五元钱能做什么？或许你觉得做不了什么，你如果对买包糖果或甜点不感兴趣的话，买课树怎样？确切的说，一棵树在黄河岸迹的树。 每年，大约有16亿吨泥土流入黄河——这条中国国第二大河流，这些泥土中含有保持该大自然平衡的物质，经年累月，大量的泥土被冲走，导致黄河两岸严重的水土流失，在山西省有些地区，折中水土流失几乎会掉了所有的土地，还迫使当地的农民迁移到其他地区去控制黄河水土流失是一项巨大的工程，很多人认为这项工作最好靠政府或是国际组织承担，你或许会赞同这样的观点，若真这样想的话，现在到了你重新考虑的时候了。 事实上，你才是阻止黄河水土流失最重要的人物，你知道你的五元钱的重要性吗？首先，你可以用五元钱买一棵树，而这棵树可以使泥土不流失，在肥沃的土地上，当地农民可以种庄稼陌生，农民会用他们种的庄稼赚到钱购买所需物品或服务，这有助于发展地区经济。 还是你不理解你得五元钱有如此大的作用吧？那么，看看下面的事实吧：自1997年期，一项植树计划已使内蒙古就成沙流变成了绿色家园，世界各地的人前来这里观赏这一伟大的成就，另外，这项规划的成功大大的改变了当地人民的生活，试想一下，这一切就是始于五元钱。 所以，下次当你的口袋里有五元钱时，仔细想想该怎么花，情记住，你可以用它买树，为了我们的祖国人民一及你自己创造绿色的未来。 所以，下次当你口袋里再有五元钱时，仔细想想该怎么花。请记住，你可以用它买树，为了我们的祖国，为人民以及你自己创造绿色的未来 Lesson 4 无线耳机

北师大版高中英语教材解析 北师大版高中英语教材是严格按照新课标编写的，它由11个模块组成。其中的5个必修模块，每个模块编排三个教学单元，其内容囊括了高中英语六级、七级所涉及知识，就是学生达到高中毕业水平所应掌握的词汇、语法、话题、技能等全部内容；6个模块是选修教材，每个模块也编排三个单元，囊括了八级、九级英语所应掌握的所有内容。必修模块每个单元分别由Warm up，Reading，Communication workshop，Culture corner，Bulletin Board，Unit Dairy等板块组成。有如下特点： 一、教材选材广泛 教材是以话题学习来展开的，在11个模块里共选有33个话题材料，这些话题材料不仅具有很强的时代性、科技性，还具有丰富的文化、体育、艺术性，话题材料都与高中生的实际生活相关，如生活习俗、文化艺术、自然与环保、社会与社会生活、未来世界，等等，都是学生感兴趣的话题。如，与学生日常生活息息相关的lifestyles & Sports stars；与文化艺术等方面相关的内容：Rhythm，Design，Celebration等。
特别是第二模块的Unit 6 《Design》这一单元中，将中国传统的Chinese Paper Art & Traditional Chinese Painting，与西方的Modern Buildings & Dream Houses 有机结合起来，是中西方文化在教材中的很好融合。 二、教材编排科学 教材编排符合语言学习规律，每个单元都有学习目标，介绍本单元里即将在听、说、读、写四方面学习的内容。每单元前的Stage 1 Warm up引导学生预知这个单元的话题内容。可以说Warm up是本单元的学习大纲，不但为学生对本单元要学习的内容有效导航，完成本单元感性认识，且能有效激发学生学习英语的兴趣，引导学生积极主动地学习。Stage 2 Reading板块是每个单元学习的核心所在，它由Language Focus lessons 和Skills Focus lessons两部分组成，以阅读、听力材料的形式呈现语法及相关词汇等学习目标。Lauguage Foucus lessons是在听读学习中，特别注重训练学生获取和处理信息的能力，听读活动又旨在引导学生在语境中发现语言规律、表达方式等，运用所学语法和词汇进行表达。Skills Focus lessons 则主要是在听读过程中学习，实践阅读、听力策略，练习口语交际能力，一言以蔽之，就是强调培养学生在听读过程中获取和处理信息的能力。
