M1U1Reading

牛津高中英语模块1 -- 5课文翻译M1U1Reading英国校园生活在英国上了一年的中学对我来说是一段非常令人愉快和兴奋的经历。

我很满意英国的上学时间，因为那里是大约9点开始上学，下午3：30放学，这意味着我可以比平常晚起床一个小时，因为在中国8点之前就开始上课了。

在第一天，所有新生在学校礼堂集合，我坐在一个叫做戴安娜的女孩旁边，我们很快就成为了好朋友。

在集合期间，校长告诉我们关于学校的规章制度，他还告诉我们，在学校要想赢得别人的尊重，最好的方法就是努力学习，取得高分，这一点听起来跟中国的学校差不多。

在过去的一年里，我有很多的老师，黑伍德先生，也就是我的班主任，对我很有帮助；我最喜欢的老师是伯尔克小姐，我喜欢她教的英国文学课。

在我们班有28个同学，这差不多是英国学校的平均班额。

我们在不同的教室上不同的课，上某些课的时候，班上的同学也不一样，所以对我来说记住所有人的面孔和名字是一件难事。

我发现这里布置的家庭作业不像我以前在原来学校时那么繁重，可是一开始我还是觉得有点挑战性，因为所有的作业都是英文的。

让我感到幸运的是，所有老师都给了我极大的鼓励，也喜欢所学的科目：英语、历史、英国文学，计算机，数学、科学、体育、艺术、烹饪和法语。

我的英语提高了很多，因为我每天都使用英语而且我每天花一小时在图书馆看英语书，我经常在中午休息的时候去计算机俱乐部，这样我就可以免费给国内你的家人和朋友发邮件了。

我还在每周二的晚上有一节法语课，烹饪课也很有趣，因为我可以学到如何购买、准备和烹饪食物，在学期末，我们有举行班级聚会，我们都需要做一些食物，让我很高兴的是我同学都很喜欢我做的蛋糕。

那里的学生必须要学数学、英语和科学，但是可以不学一些他们不喜欢的科目，例如历史和法语。

他们可以选择像艺术和计算机技术等课程，或者像西班牙语和德语等语言类课程。

在我修的艺术课上，我做了一个雕塑，尽管它完成时看起来不是很漂亮，但我仍然很喜欢它。

九年级上册英语m1u1的知识点九年级上册英语M1U1是学生在初中学习过程中的一个重要环节，本单元主要涉及日常生活中的问候与介绍，培养学生的英语口语表达能力。

在这个单元中，学生将学习如何用英语进行自我介绍、问候朋友、向别人介绍自己的朋友等。

下面，我们将逐一介绍这些知识点。

首先，让我们从如何进行自我介绍开始。

在英语中，自我介绍应该包括自己的姓名、年龄、住址、兴趣爱好等。

例如，可以说：“Hello, my name is Lisa. I am thirteen years old. I live in Beijing. I like playing basketball and listening to music.” 这样的自我介绍简洁明了。

接下来，我们来学习如何向朋友问候。

在日常生活中，问候是一个基本的交际方式。

在英语中，常用的问候方式有：Good morning!（早上好！）、Good afternoon!（下午好！）、Good evening!（晚上好！）、How are you?（你好吗？）。

了解这些问候方式，有助于学生更好地与外国朋友交流。

除了问候之外，还有一种重要的交际方式就是介绍自己的朋友。

在英语中，我们可以使用"He/She is..."这个句型来进行介绍。

例如，可以说：“This is my friend, John. He is tall and he likes playingsoccer.” 这样的介绍不仅可以帮助学生更好地了解对方，也可以增加学生的口语表达能力。

此外，本单元还涉及到数字的表达方式。

学生需要学会如何用英语表达数字，以便更好地进建立英语基础。

在英语中，数字的表达方式与汉语稍有不同。

例如，数字 "1" 在英语中应该说成"one"；数字 "2" 则应该是 "two"；数字 "3" 是 "three"，以此类推。

牛津译林版高中英语教材M1：Reading & Project课文1. M1U1. Reading—School life in the UKGoing to a British high school for one year was a very enjoyable and exciting experience for me. I was very happy with the school hours in Britain because school starts around 9 . and ends about . This means I could get up an hour later than usual, as schools in China begin before8 .On the first day, all of the new students attended an assembly in the school hall.I sat next to a girl whose name was Diane. We soon became best friends. During the assembly, the headmaster told us about the rules of the school. He also told us that the best way to earn respect was to devote ourselves to study and achieve high grades. This sounded like my school in China.I had many teachers in the past year. Mr Heywood, my class teacher, was very helpful. My favourite teacher was Miss Burke—I loved the lessons that she gave in English Literature. In our class there were 28 students. This is about the average size for British schools. We had to move to different classrooms for different classes. We also had different students in some classes, so it was a struggle for me to remember all the faces and names.I found the homework was not as heavy as what I used to get in my old school. However, it was a bit challenging for me at first, because all the homework was in English. I felt lucky, as all my teachers gave me much encouragement and I enjoyed all my subjects: English, History, English Literature, Computer Science, Maths,Science, PE, Art, Cooking and French.My English improved a lot as I used English every day and spent an hour each day reading English books in the library. I usually went to the Computer Club during the lunch break, so I could send e-mails to my family and friends back home for free. I also had an extra French class on Tuesday evenings. Cooking was really fun as I learned how to buy, prepare and cook food. At the end of term we held a class party and we all had to cook something. I was glad that all my classmates were fond of the cake that I made.Students at that school have to study Maths, English and Science, but can stop studying some subjects if they don’t like them, for example, History and French. They can choose other subjects like Art and Computer Science, or Languages such as Spanish and German. In Art class that I took, I made a small sculpture. Though it did not look very beautiful when it was finished, I still liked it very much.I missed Chinese food a lot at lunch. British food is very different. British people like eating desserts at the end of their main meal. After lunch, we usually played on the school field. Sometimes I played football with the boys. Sometimes I just relaxed under a tree or sat on the grass.I was very lucky to experience this different way of life. I look back on my time in the UK with satisfaction. And I really hope to go back and study in Manchester again.2. M1U1. Project—<Starting a new school club>We have a radio club in our school. It is great because it is run by the students for the school. I am lucky as I am one of the hosts.It was started two years ago. One day, I just began thinking about music for everyone, so I asked the headmaster if music could be played during break times. He approved the idea, and two years later I am in charge of the radio club as the oldest student member. Our club is much more than just music. Every morning we tell our schoolmates about the weather, recent news, and some special messages that the teachers want us to broadcast.During exam time we have a special programme that tells students the things they should do for preparation. At the end of the school year, many students who are graduating use our club to give messages to their close friends and teachers.When parents come to visit the school and talk to the teachers, we often play songs sung by students, and we also give messages to inform the parents of events such as outings and school plays.I shall miss the radio club after graduation, but I know that it will continue without me. (Kate Jones)Our school club 'Poets of the Next Generation' is a literary club that was started by our English teacher Mr. Owen. We meet on the last Friday of every month to talk about poems and poets that we like. In the club meetings, we first select poems that we love, and then read them aloud. We also discuss poems in our meetings.When I attended the first meeting, I was required to write a poem and I had toread it to the club. I was a little nervous at first, but everyone was so nice and friendly that I soon stopped worrying. I once read a poem about nature in the school courtyard. I chose an old tree and gathered everyone under it before I read. The club members said it was one of the best compositions they had heard. (Bob Shaw)3. M1U2. Reading—Home aloneACT ONEMom and Dad arrive back from vacation a day earlier than expected. The curtains are closed and the living room is dark when Mom and Dad enter.Dad: It’s so nice to be home!Mom: Yes, I can’t wait to surprise the boys!(Suddenly the door opens and a soccer ball flies through the room. Eric runs in after it, followed by a big dog, walking very slowly.)Eric: Mom! Dad! You’re back early!（looking around room, sounding frightened) But, but… you weren’t supposed to come home until tomorrow!The dog slowly walks to Mom and Dad.Mom: (bending to touch dog) Eric, he’s so tired and hungry! (looking at table) The money for dog food is gone, but Spot looks like he is starving! What did you do with the cash we left?Dad: And look at this room—garbage all over the place! Where is your brother? (shouting angrily) Daniel!Daniel: (running into room) Mom, Dad, I can explain…Dad opens the curtains and light comes into the room. The room is in a mess, with pizza boxes on the floor and dirty dishes in the sink. In the corner, there is a garbage can around which are pieces of garbage and waste paper.Mom and Dad both turn towards Daniel.Dad : (sounding very angry) Listen to me, young man—we left you in charge! We thought you could act like an adult ,but look at the mess ! I don’t know why the house is so dirty….Mom: Daniel, we thought you were an adult, a person who would make good decisions.Dad: How can we trust you any more? We won’t tolerate such behavior in our house.Daniel: (shouting) Stop shouting at me. I’m still a teenager! Why is everything always my fault?Daniel runs into his bedroom and shuts the door angrily. Mom and Dad look at each other as lights go out.End of act oneAct two, Scene OneDaniel and Eric’s bedroom. Eric sits on his bed. Daniel has arms crossed and looks upset.Daniel: They never even gave me a chance to defend myself. I hate them!Eric: You don’t hate them. I c an tell them we had an emergency. Then they won’t be mad any more.Daniel: No, don’t tell them anything. Anyhow, they didn’t trust me. They don’t deserve an explanation. Let them think what they want.Eric: But Daniel, if they knew that Spot was sick and we used the money to take him to the clinic….Daniel: And that we spent all of yesterday waiting there for him and that is why we had no time to clean the house…But no, Eric, why didn’t they ask me what happened instead of shouting at me?Act two, Scene TwoMom: Do you think we were too hard on Daniel? Perhaps there is a reason why the house is a mess….Dad: Maybe, but now that he has been so rude to us, I feel like we have to punish him or he won’t respect us.Mom: Oh, why does this have to be so difficult?Mom sighs.End of Act Two4. M1U2. Project—Growing painsMany teenagers feel lonely, as if no one understands them and the changes they are going through. Day by day, everything seems different, yet the same, Life never seems to be going fast enough；yet, in other ways, like a race car, life seems to be rushing too fast and even going out of control. Has anyone else ever felt this way?These feelings are a common part of adolescence—the time of life between child and adult. And though it may sometimes be difficult to believe, you are not alone—every adult has gone through adolescence, and your friends are going through it right now along with you. It is common for teenagers to feel lonely and misunderstood. These feelings can be thought of as growing pains —the difficulties that teenagers face as they grow to adults.As teenagers grow, it is normal for them to become confused with the changing world both inside and outside of them. During adolescence, teenagers go through great physical changes, they grow taller and their voices get deeper, among many other developments.Along with these physical changes, there come many psychological changes. Boys and girls tend to be different in this regard. Many boys become risk-takers—they want to find their own limits and the limits of the world around them, but may not have the wisdom to make good choices in their behavior. At the same time, girls often want someone—anyone—to talk to, as they try to deal with their strong feelings.In the social world, as teenagers get older, they struggle to depend on themselves. They may badly want and need their parents’ love, yet feel distant; they may want to be part of the group yet desire independence. Since teenagers have difficulty balancing these needs, they often question who they are and how they fit in society.The good news is that these kinds of growing pains do not last. In the endeverything turns out OK—the teenager becomes a healthy adult, and this period of change and challenge is traded for the changes and challenges of grown-up life.5. M1U3. Reading—Dying to be thin…Hi Zhou LingHow are you? I haven’t heard from you for weeks. Is everything OK with you?Do you still go to the gym every day? I used to go to the gym three times a week, but I don’t work out any more. I know another way to stay slim. Looking good is important to women, isn’t it? Most young women want a slim figure these days, especially here in Canada. I’m trying to lose weight because I’m so ashamed of my body. Since I’m preparing to act in a new TV show, I’m taking weight-lose pills called Fat-Less, which are quite popular among young women here.I hope to lose at least 10 kilograms. I take two pills a day and don’t need to exercise.The pills really work! I’m becoming slimmer and slimmer. I’ve lost 7 kilograms in the last two months. However, sometimes I don’t feel so energetic. My mother, who you met last year, keeps telling me not to take them because they are dangerous. She says health is the most important thing, and I agree, but then I look so slim at the moment.Write soon!LoveAmyDear Zhou LingThings change so quickly! I’m now in hospital recovering from liver failure. I regret taking those weight-lose pills. They contain a harmful chemical that caused my liver to fail. The pills were going to completely destroy my liver if I continued taking them. My mother insisted on sending me to the hospital, where I received good medical treatment.It was a really painful experience, but I’m feeling better now. I follow my doctor’s advice and e xercise for at least half an hour every day (but I seldom go to the gym!), and eat lots of fruit and vegetables. People should look after their bodies. My mother is right: don’t damage your health for a slim and attractive figure. It isn’t worth it. We shouldn’t be ashamed of the way we look, should we?I hope to hear from you soon.LoveAmyDear AmyMy computer was broken so I couldn’t read your two e-mails until today. I’m so sorry to hear about your problem, but I’m glad you’re feeling better and are recovering.You’re right. We shouldn’t be embarrassed about our weight. I think you look great as you are, and you’re a wonderful person. I know that the pressure to stay slim is a problem, especially for an actress. However, your mother knows best: nothing is more important than health.It’s the same in China—many people, some of whom are not overweight at all, are always going on a diet or taking weight-loss pills, which are often dangerous. I hope they can learn from your story.LoveZhou Ling6. M1U3. Project— <Writing a report on growing pains>The truth is, diet and way of life are often a problem for teenagers. However, the good news is that you can feel better, look better and have more energy if you eat the right food and exercise regularly.Healthy eating along with regular exercise is probably the only way to become fit. Diets are useless in the long term, yet approximately 20% of teenagers say they have tried going on a diet and skipping meals to control their weight. If you eat properly and exercise regularly, you will lose weight, keep fit and feel great.As a teenager, it is important to give your body the energy it needs. If you skip meals, you don’t get enough energy, and then you feel tired. For a healthy diet, you should eat mostly rice, bread, vegetables and fruit. You also need to drink a lot of water—six to eight glasses a day. Water helps keep your system clean. Drinking enough water will improve your skin and give you healthy hair.Exercise is something that can help to make you look good, feel good and be healthy. Experts suggest that teenagers spend at least 30 minutes exercising, fivetimes a week. That is easy to do! Walking and riding your bike count, and so do school sports. Often, teenagers give up sport, saying they have no time left after their studies. Many teenagers are surprised to learn that when you exercise, your body produces some chemicals that make you feel peaceful and relaxed and increase your ability to concentrate when you study. These chemicals can even help you sleep better at night.A good amount of sleep every night is also important for your health. When you sleep, your body prepares you for the day to come. Teenagers need eight to ten hours of sleep each night. As a matter of fact, loss of sleep can make you look tired, and even cause you to gain weight.If you follow the suggestions above, you will look and feel much better in no time at all.。

九年级上册英语m1u1知识点在九年级上册的英语教材中，Module 1 Unit 1是一个重要的单元，这个单元涵盖了一些基础的英语知识点。

本文将以以下几个方面来探讨这些知识点：语法、词汇、听力、口语和阅读理解。

首先，我们来探讨一下语法方面的内容。

M1U1主要介绍了一般现在时与现在进行时的用法。

一般现在时表示经常性、习惯性的动作，而现在进行时表示正在进行的动作。

例如，"I play basketball every day."表示我每天都打篮球，而"I am playing basketball now."表示我正在打篮球。

这两个时态在句子结构上有所不同，需要特别注意动词的变化形式。

接下来，我们来看一下词汇方面的内容。

单词的记忆是学习英语的重要一环。

在M1U1中，我们首先会学到一些与学校和教育相关的词汇，比如classroom（教室）、teacher（老师）和student （学生）。

此外，还会学习一些动词的变形形式，例如work（工作）的过去式为worked，而study（学习）的进行时为studying。

要提高词汇量，我们可以利用单词卡片、阅读和多做练习来加深记忆。

接下来，我们来谈一谈听力方面的内容。

在学习英语的过程中，培养听力能力是非常重要的。

在M1U1的听力练习中，我们会听到一些关于日常生活和学校的对话和短文。

通过听力练习，我们可以提高自己的听力理解能力，同时也能锻炼自己的口语表达能力。

说到口语，我们可以通过角色扮演或与同学练习对话来提高口语表达能力。

在M1U1中，我们可以练习一些日常用语和简单对话，例如问候、介绍自己和询问事物的位置等。

通过与他人的互动，我们可以更好地运用所学知识，提高口语表达的流利程度。

最后，我们来看一下阅读理解方面的内容。

在M1U1的阅读篇章中，我们会阅读一些简单的短文，了解作者的意图，并回答问题。

这样的练习不仅能提高阅读理解能力，还能帮助我们提高英语写作的能力。
