查理和巧克力工厂英文介绍1Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is a truly enchanting story! It takes us into a world full of wonder and magic. The story is set in a time when Charlie, a poor but incredibly kind-hearted boy, dreams of something extraordinary. Despite his family's poverty, his pure heart remains untouched.The main character, Charlie, is a symbol of hope and kindness. His simple life is in contrast to the mysterious and creative Willy Wonka, who owns the astonishing chocolate factory. This factory is not just an ordinary place. It's filled with fantastical scenes that would make anyone's jaw drop! The rivers of chocolate, the candy gardens, and the Oompa-Loompas are all so amazing!Willy Wonka, with his wild imagination and unique ideas, has created a world that is beyond our wildest dreams. But it's not just about the magic and the sweets. It's about the power of kindness and the value of family. Charlie's journey in this factory is full of surprises and challenges. Isn't it wonderful how a simple boy can change everything? And don't you just wonder what will happen next in this magical place?2Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is an absolutely astonishing place!Imagine a factory filled with wonders that can make your imagination soar to the sky. The flying elevator is just one of the mind-blowing inventions. It whisks you around the factory as if you were on a magical journey. And then there's the chocolate river! Oh my goodness, a river made of flowing chocolate that looks so tempting. The edible flowers are another wonder. How amazing it is to pluck a flower and pop it into your mouth, enjoying the sweet taste.Charlie's adventures in the factory are full of excitement and surprises. He faces challenges and discovers hidden secrets. Every corner of the factory holds a new mystery waiting to be unveiled. Will he succeed in uncovering all the mysteries? The factory is not just a place of treats but also a world of dreams and possibilities. It makes you believe that anything can happen in this magical place. Isn't it just wonderful? So come and join Charlie on his adventure and let your heart be filled with joy and wonder!3Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is a remarkable story that takes us on an extraordinary adventure. The main characters have distinct personalities that undergo significant changes during their time in the factory.Charlie, the protagonist, starts off as a timid and cautious child. But as the story progresses, his determination and kindness shine through, making him grow bolder and more courageous. He doesn't give in totemptation like the other children.Take Augustus Gloop, for instance. His greed for chocolate leads him into a disastrous situation. Veruca Salt is spoiled and demanding, which gets her into trouble. Violet Beauregarde's excessive pride and competitiveness cause her problems. Mike Teavee's obsession with television and lack of self-control land him in a difficult spot.In contrast, Charlie's honesty, modesty, and compassion enable him to overcome challenges and eventually win the grand prize. Isn't it amazing how a simple child can change and succeed in such a magical place? The story teaches us that good qualities will lead to wonderful outcomes!4Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is a magical story that takes us on a thrilling adventure. In this wonderful place, Charlie stands out from the other children in many ways. While the other kids are naughty and selfish, always thinking only of themselves, Charlie is honest and kind. Take Veruca Salt for example. She is so spoiled and demanding, insisting on getting everything she wants immediately. But Charlie, on the contrary, shows patience and gratitude. Augustus Gloop is gluttonous and has no self-control when it comes to food. However, Charlie never loses his composure and respects the rules. Mike Teavee is obsessed with TV and technology, showing no interest in the true wonders around him. But Charlie is full of curiosity and appreciation for the magical world of thechocolate factory. In the end, it's Charlie's good qualities that lead him to the greatest rewards. Isn't it amazing how honesty and kindness can bring such wonderful results? How different are the fates of those naughty kids compared to Charlie! This story teaches us that having a good heart is far more valuable than being naughty and selfish. Don't you think so?5Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is a remarkable story that holds profound values and educational significance! It presents a vivid contrast between kindness and honesty on one hand, and greed and willfulness on the other.The character of Charlie stands out as a paragon of kindness and honesty. Despite coming from a poor family, his pure heart and integrity lead him to the magical chocolate factory. In contrast, the children like Veruca Salt, who is extremely greedy and demanding, and Augustus Gloop, who is gluttonous and self-indulgent, face unpleasant consequences. Isn't this a powerful reminder that greed and selfishness lead to downfall?The story also emphasizes the importance of family and the power of love. Charlie's family supports and loves him unconditionally, which gives him the strength to face challenges. How wonderful it is to have such a warm family!In conclusion, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory teaches us that being kind, honest, and having a heart full of love are the keys to a happy andmeaningful life. Don't we all want to live such a life? Shouldn't we strive to be like Charlie and avoid the pitfalls of greed and willfulness? This story is not just a children's tale but a profound lesson for all of us!。

Global WarmingTask One: Greenhouse EffectThe “greenhouse effect” is a widely used phrase these days. We all know that it means the general phenomenon of rising temperatures.Today, our world is hotter than it has been for 2000 years. By the end of the century, if current trend continues, the global temperature will be likely to climb higher than at any time in the past 2 Million years.Firstly we will investigate in detail global warming caused by the greenhouse effect. But before we start, let me fill you in on some basics concerning the greenhouse effect.Solar radiation interacts with the surface of the Earth in several ways. Some portion of this energy is reflected back into space by the earth atmosphere. Another portion is dispersed and scattered by the molecules in the atmosphere and a large portion penetrates the atmosphere to reach the surface of the earth. The radiation reaching the Earth surface is largely absorbed resulting in surface warming. As they leave the earth, and once again interact with the atmosphere. Some of the reradiated energy escapes into space but most of it is reflected back to the earth surface by molecules in the earth atmosphere. This phenomenon is similar to the warming and cursing of a car thatis parked outside on the sunny day. The molecules responsible for this phenomenon are called green house gases. In essence, green house gases act like an insulator or blanket above the earth keeping the heat in. Increasingly concentration of these gases increases atmosphere’s ability t o grow or escape the infrared radiation. In other words, the earth’s insulator gases get thicker. That is what we called the “greenhouse effect”.Task Two: Climate ChangeAn environmental studies professor at Stanford University says, “(Quote) There’s no w ay. There’s anything natural that can explain it.” A professor of atmospheric sciences at MIT says, it’s part of the natural warming and cooling a planet goes through. Well, they’re talking about transitions in the earth’s temperature, something Carl Azuz now boils down to the basics.(Carl Azuz)In a world that’s always changing,there’s one thing that ma ny folks want to stay the same: the temperature. A change of just a couple degrees, can make a world of difference, and not necessarily a good one. The Ea rth’s average temperature fluctuates, going through both warming and cooling periods. The last cooling off period was between 1945 and 1975.Since then, though, things have been steadily heating up. And mostscientists point to Arctic ice melting as proof; something Anderson Cooper saw firsthand.(Anderson Cooper)Already in the last 30 years, at least 400,000 square miles of sea ice has melted. That’s about the size of Texas and California combined. And as the ice melts it affects sea levels around the world, which impacts tens of millions of people.(Azuz)What’s controversial about climate change is whether peop le have anything to do with it. A change in the Earth’s orbit or the sun’s radiation could cause global warming.But so could an increase in greenhouse gases.The Earth needs these gases to maintain a warm, livable environment. But they contain carbon dioxide, which has increased dramatically over the last couple centuries. This may be due to car emissions, burning fossil fuels, deforestation. Many scientists blame all of it for causing the world to warm up. But is it all just theory, another planetary “summer” before “fall”,or are we headed for severe drought, consuming fires and melted ice caps?Task Three: Cracks in the Ice(Carl Azuz)Hi, I’m Ca rl Azuz. However you are watching this edition ofCNN Student News, we’re glad you are. Thanks for tuning in this Thursday.(Azuz)First up, we’re heading south to Antarctica, where it’s cold, but apparently not cold enough. A huge chunk of ice broke away from the continent this week, and some scientists are blaming it. on the changing climate. Now, since Antarctica is south of the equator, summer just ended down there. So, this is the time when major events like this are most likely to happen. Emily Chang has more details now on the icy breakup.(Emily Chang)Scientists fly over a giant chunk of Antarctic ice as it cracks and collapses. The chunk is enormous, about 7 times the size of Manhattan, 160 square miles. It was part of the Wilkins ice shelf, the biggest on Antarctica yet, scientists say, to fall victim to global warming.(David V aughn, British Antarctic Survey)Watching Wilkins ice shelf disappear at the moment, we learn a lot more about how ice responds to climate change.(Chang)The ice is just a small fraction of the Antarctic ice sheet, but it broke off well before scientists predicted, a sign they say thatclimate change might be happening faster than expected. One expert told us last year.(Lonnie Thompson, Glaciologist)I think what we do know is that ice is probably the best sensor of these large scale changes taking place. And in many ways, I think we’re in uncharted territory.(Chang)Ice plays a vital role in cooling the Earth’s temperature and regulating sea levels. As it’s lost,the planet gets warmer, sea levels rise and more ice is threatened. A vicious environmental circle!By the end of the century, many experts project sea levels will rise between 7 and 23 inches, and temperatures could increase by up to 7 degrees Fahrenheit. But some say those estimates are too conservative.(James Hansen, NASA Climate Scientist)There are glaciologists now who are getting very worried. But they haven’t really come out and said what they think. (Chang)This part of the Antarctic is warming about five times faster than the rest of the world. Six other ice shelves have been lost entirely, and scientists say the Wilkins shelf could be next.Further DevelopmentUrgent Plea over Global WarmingLakes of melted water on Greenland’s ice sheet are expanding at a massive rate. Environmental campaigners say greenhouse gases are to be blamed. There is no time to lose to avoid disaster. “It’s become very apparent that Greenland is in crisis and we absolutely have to do something meaningful to stop global warming.”NASA-funded researcher, Jason Box Says Greenland summer ice melted nearly a third in less than two decades. “We know the temperatures have gone up but to see this rapid response has been a surprise to the scientific community.”The latest survey came as representative of 23 nations met in Greenland for informal talks on how to tackle global warming. There have been deadlocks since Washington pulled out of the UN Kyoto protocol in 2001. Host nation Denmark says the squabbling have to be replaced by action urgently.练习答案Unit Five Global WarmingPartⅡ.

Cite examples to illustrate your point.Americans love new frontiers. For example, they hanker after wide-open spaces; they like to explore; they like to make rules but refuse to follow them.2. Is there a place on earth where you can go and be yourself? What is the place according to the author?According to the author, there is a place—cyberspace, where you can go and be yourself.3. What metaphor does the author use to describe cyberspace? Why does she use such a metaphor?Real estate, because both real estate and cyberspace consist of different parts and each part is suitable for a particular group of people.4. Does the author approve of regulating cyberspace? Why or why not?Yes, but first, it is fundamental to understand the nature of cyberspace.5. What does the author think is needed in cyberspace besides government control?Self-rule.6.

How do cyberspace communities evolve? Give examples to illustrate your point.People of similar interests and tastes form a community. For example, communities on CompuServe tend to be professional; those on America Online are affluent young singles, and so on.8. What is unique about cyberspace rules? What authority do they have that rules in terrestrial environments don’t have?It allows communities of any size and kind to flourish. Cyberspace rules have moral authority that terrestrial governments don’t have.9. In what spirit are new communities formed?Communities cater to their own members’ inclination..10. What kind of government do explorers in cyberspace need?Their own local government besides terrestrial government does explorers.11. What should be done to deal with questionable items in cyberspace? Are people already doing that?We should be banning them and using labels and automatic filters to get rid of them. Yes.12. Is cyberspace a perfect place? If not, why are people so excited about it?No, it is not. People are excited about it because it offers a lot of information and freedom.B. Global understanding and appreciation of the text.1. Analogy (比喻,类推) is a figure of speech (修辞手段) which draws a parallel between two different types of things, and uses on (usually familiar to the reader) to explain reader’s understanding of the writer’s point. Can you draw a parallel between real estate and cyberspace? What point does the analogy support?The analogy between real estate and cyberspace2. By dividing cyberspace into three parts and using similes(明喻), the author defines the nature of cyberspace and illustrates further her point that government regulation is not needed in cyberspace. Complete the following form to show that you understand the author’s point. Please be reminded that the underlying structure of a simile is “A is like B”.3. In what way do the rules of a terrestrial government and those of a cyberspace community differ? Refer to para. 11 to answer the question.4. What is the language style of the article?

Change the form of the word if necessary:Born to SurfThe web From the Window contains poetry and literature from well-known writers across the global. There are thoughtful articles analyzing the state of the world we live in. There is (1)even a piece from the Secretary General of the United States, Kofi Annan. It may come (2)as some surprise to find out (3)that the editor of the magazine is a 12-year-old girl, Joy Nightingale. From the Window (4)won Joy Nightingale the first prize in the 1999 childnet Inter-national and Cable and Wireless awards. These are given (5)annually for the best use of the Internet (6)by and for young people. And (7)they highlight one of the most welcoming aspects of the (8)virtual world. Children have taken to the Internet as though they are born surfing.Perhaps this is (9)because adults have had to change their understanding of technology while children (10)simply accept it as natural. Whatever the reason, children can be found building websites and E-mailing friends (11)across the world while adults are (12)still asking: “Tell me again —where (13)exactly is cyberspace?”Of course there is growing (14)concern about the fact that children can travel far away from parental supervision in cyberspace. In (15)response , many parents have installed soft-ware packages which prevent (16)access to violent or pornographic websites. Childnet is taking a more positive line. The website is a gateway (17)to a world of education and entertainment.The rapid growth in Internet culture has (18)led analysts to speculate that society will soon be divided (19)between the “information rich”and “information poor”. For Childnet it is especially important that children at the margins of society through poverty or disability have the chance to take their (20)palce as equal citizens in the virtual world.IV. TranslationTranslate the following into Chinese:The possibility of a real market-style evolution of governance is at hand. In cyberspace, we’ll be able to test and evolve rules governing what needs to be governed — intellectual property, content and access control, rules about privacy and free speech. Some communities will allow anyone in: others will restrict access to members who qualify on one basis or another. Those communities that prove self-sustaining will prosper (and perhaps grow and split into subsets with ever-more-particular interests and identities). Those that can’t survive-either because people lose interest or get scared off-willsimply wither away.一种真正的市场型管理模式很快成为可能。
MIT is just another placePrior to arriving at MIT, you might harbor the notion that it is a magical place where unicorns, dragons, and fairies exist. After the first three weeks, the honeymoon is over and you find out that it is a lot of work. The work is manageable, but only if you are not in 10 other activities outside of classes. Supposedly, students that are accepted to MIT are “well-rounded.” In reality, we foundscience/engineering fun and easy; thus allowing time for us to be the presidents of clubs, play sports, and sleep. Everyone hits the realization that you can’t do everything some time during the first four terms at MIT. I was told prior to arriving at MIT that it was going to be hard work, so I came prepared to reduce my nonacademic commitments.For the first three terms, I treated MIT like most upperclassmen have in the past, and like some freshmen and sophomores still do: a place to leave after earning a degree. Then I came to the realization that I was unhappy, not because of MIT, but because I had forgotten who I was. MIT became about surviving classes, not pursuing knowledge. I decided to make an effort to enjoy MIT, and that is when it all got better.I started to paint again, to work out, and to have a social life. When it came to classes, every class had a purpose. Each class had a syllabus of their goals and objectives; then I would find something that I wanted to learn that could run in parallel to the course material. For example, I took 2.001 (Mechanics and Materials I) because I wanted to be able to design a small-scale bridge and calculate how strong I could make it for very little weight. I never ended up making the bridge, but every time I went to class I thought of how I could use the course material to design it. Stress, beam bending, and trusses became tools for what I wanted to do and ceased being academic objectives. Grades started to no longer matter. I stopped going after the A or B in the course; instead, I went for understanding the material and concepts. I can always go back to a book to find an equation, but understanding the “why” was more important.My approach was not foolproof. I did poorly in classes and realized that it was better to finish the term with three good classes than with four/five poor classes. You don’t get anything out of taking five classes if you don’t do well. Focus on deeply understanding the material. It is important to note that we are not defined by our failures. We are defined how we overcome our failures and move forward. Research is all about failing, and knowing what does not work, so we can discover and innovate on the one thing that works. Faculty have drawers of rejected papers and proposals. Those who have never failed do not understand the process of getting up.On a recent plane flight, I was sitting next to an MIT alum and we had a nice long conversation. We share a bond that transcends time; we both survived Boot Camp MIT. Staying up until 3 a.m. working on a problem set question because you want to find the answer; you don’t want it giv en to you. We have the ability to create our own heaven or hell. It really depends on the individual. Try discussing probability with people outside of MIT or quantum mechanics, and chances are that you are going to feel different or misunderstood. Or brilliant!MIT is just another place. You can be successful without coming to MIT. It is the drive for knowledge, to be surrounded by individuals that feel the same nerdy way we do about science and engineering that brings us together to such a place. You have to love the place, in order to be happy. If not, why did you come to MIT in the first place? MIT is not a place where parental desires matter. At the end of the day, there is only your desire for knowledge that will keep you up at night.For me, MIT is a playground. I can play around going on the monkey bars and have fun, or consider it exercise and be miserable. After 16 continuous terms (SB, MS, and now PhD candidate) at the Institute, I have found that MIT has so much more to offer than classes. Your education is only half of the learning. Sometimes the other half is the most important half with three important points: One, learning to keep good friends; two, enjoying life independent of the work load; and three, getting to know yourself.I joke around w ith “renewing my contract” with the Institute, and that I must be insane to keep wanting to stay here. There are no bars or time required to stay; the only thing that keeps us here is our desire. We can all leave at any time we please, move on with our lives, and be successful in the world. MIT is just another place where we come together for the pursuit of knowledge and personal growth: nothing more, nothing less. There are no unicorns, unless they are part of a hack. The only dragon is probably one painte d on the halls of Bexley. We don’t have fairies — only snow flurries.Folkers E. Rojas G。
