选修6Unit 1 ArtReading A SHORT HISTORY OF WESTERN PAINTINGArt is influenced by the customs and faith of a people. Styles in Western art have changed many times. As there are so many different styles of Western art, it would be impossible to describe all of them in such a short text. Consequently, this text will describe only the most important ones.,starting from the sixth century AD.The Middle Ages(5th to the 15th century AD)During the Middle Ages, the main aim of painters was to represent__________(religion)theme s. A conventional artistof this period was not interested in showing nature and people as they really were. A typical picture at this time was full of religious symbol s, which created a feeling of respect and love for God. But it was evident_________ ideas were changing in the 13th century when painters like Giotto diBondone began to paint religious scenes in a more realistic way.The Renaissance(15th to 16th century)During the Renaissance, new ideas and values gradually replaced those held in the Middle Ages. People began to concentrate less on religious themes and adopt a more humanistic attitude to life.At the same time painters returned to classical Roman and Greek ideas about art. They tried to paint people and nature as they really were. Rich people wanted to possess their own paintings, so they could decorate their superb palaces and great houses. They paid famous artists to paint pictures of themselves, their houses and possessions as well as their activities and achievements.One of the most important ___________(discover) during this period was how to draw things in perspective. This technique was first used by Masaccio in 1428. When people first saw his paintings, they were convinced that they were looking through a hole in a wall at a real scene. If the rules of perspective had not been discovered, no one would have been able to paint such realistic pictures.By coincidence,oil paints were also developed at this time, which made the colours used in paintings look richer and ________(deep). ____________the new paints and the new technique, we would not be able to see the many great masterpieces _____ which this period is famous.Impressionism(late 19h to early 20th century)In the late 19th century, Europe changed a great deal,from a mostly ___________(agriculture) society_____ a mostly industrial one. Many people moved from the countryside to the new cities. There were many new inventions and social changes also led to new painting styles. Among the painters who broke away ________ the traditional style of painting were the Impressionists, who lived and work in Paris.The Impressionists were the first painters to work outdoors. They were eager to show how light and shadow fell on objects at different times of day. However, because natural light changes so quickly, the Impressionists had to paint quickly. Their paintings were not as detailed as __________ of earlier painters. At first, many people disliked this style of painting and became very angry about it. They said that the painters were careless and their paintings were ridiculous.Modern Art(29th century to today)At the time they were created, the Impressionist paintings were controversial, but today they are accepted as the beginning of _______ we call "modern art". This is ________ the Impressionists encouraged artists to look at their environment in new ways. There are scores of modern art styles,but without the Impressionists, many of these painting styles might not exist. On the one hand, some modern art is abstract; that is, the painter does not attempt to paint objects as we see them with our eyes, but insteadconcentrate s _______a certain qualities of the object, using colour, line and shape to represent them. On ________ hand, some paintings of modern art are so realistic that they look like photographs. These styles are so different. Who can predict what painting styles there _________ in the future?Using LanguageReadingThe Best of Manhattan’s GalleriesThe Frick Collection(5th Avenue and E.70th Street)Many art lovers would rather visit this small art gallery _________ any other in New York. Henry Clay Frick, a rich New Yorker, died in 1919, leaving his house, furniture and art collection ______ the American people.

When you walk into the gallery, you fell as if you were inside a fragile,white seashell. The best way to see the paintings is to start from the top floor and walk down to the bottom. There are no stairs, just a circular path.

Some poems tell a story or describe something in a way that will give the reader a strong___________(impress).Others try to convey certain emotion s. Poets use many different forms of poetry to express themselves. In this text, however, we will look at a few of the simpler forms.Some of the first poetry a young child learns in English is nursery rhymes. These rhymes like the one on the right (A) are still a mon type of children's poetry. The language is concrete but imaginative, and they delight small children because they rhyme, have strong rhythm and a lot of repetition. The poems may not make sense and even seem contradictory, but they are easy to learn and recite. By playing with the words in nursery rhymes, children learn about language.(A)Hush, little baby, don't say a word, Papa's going to buy you a mockingbird.If that mockingbird won't sing, Papa's going to buy you a diamond ring.If that diamond ring turns to brass, Papa's going to buy you a looking-glass.If that looking-glass gets broke, Papa's going to buy you a billy-goat.If that billy-goat runs away,Papa's going to buy you another today.One of the simplest kinds of poems are those like B and C that list things.List poems have a flexible line lengthand repeated phrases which give both a pattern and a rhythm to the poem.Some rhyme (like B) while others do not (like C).(B)I saw a fish- pond all on fire I saw a fish-pond all on fire, I saw a house bow to a squire, I saw a person twelve-feet high,I saw a cottage in the sky,I saw a balloon made of lead, I saw a coffin drop down dead,I saw two sparrows run a race,I saw two horses making lace,I saw a girl just like a cat,I saw a kitten wear a hat,I saw a man who saw these too,And said though strange they all were true.(C)Our first football matchWe would have won ...if Jack had score d that goal,if we'd had just a few more minutes,if we had trained harder,if Ben had pass ed the ball to Joe,if we'd had thousands of fans scream ing,if I had n't take n my eye off the ball,if we hadn't stayed up so late the night before,if we hadn't taken it easy,if we hadn't run out of energy.We would have won ...if we'd been better!Another simple form of poem that students can easily write is the cinquain, a poem made up of five lines.With these, students can convey a strong picture in just a few words. Look at the examples (D and E) on the top of the next page.(D)BrotherBeautiful, athletic Teasing, shouting, laughing Friend and enemy tooMine(E)SummerSleepy, salty Drying, drooping, dreading Week in, week outEndlessHaiku is a Japanese form of poetry that is made up of 17 syllables.It is not a traditional form of English poetry, but is very popular with English writers.It is easy to write and, like the cinquain, can give a clear picture and create a special feeling using the minimum of words.The two haiku poems (F and G) above are translations from the Japanese.(F)A fallen blossom Is ing back to the branch.Look, a butterfly!( byMoritake)(G)Snow having melt ed, The whole village is brimful Of happy children.(byIssa)Did you know that English speakers also enjoy other forms of Asian poetry - Tang poems from China in particular?A lot of Tang poetry has been translated into English.This Tang poem (H) is a translation from the Chinese.(H)Where she awaits her husband(by Wang Jian)On and on the river flows.Never looking back,Transformed into stone.Day by day upon the mountain top,wind and rain revolve.Should the traveller return,this stone would utter speech.Using LanguageListening,reading and discussingI'VE SAVED THE SUMMER(by Rod McKuen)I've saved the summerAnd I give it all to youTo hold on winter morningsWhen the snow is new.I've saved some sunlightIf you should ever needA place away from darknessWhere your mind can feed.

I have just returned from a long bike ride to an old castle. It seems amazing _______ at my age I am still fit enough to cycle 20 kilometres in an afternoon. It's my birthday in two weeks‘’ time and I'll be 82 years old! I think my long and active life must be due _____ the healthy life I live.This brings me to the real reason _____ my letter, my dear grandson. Your mother tells me that you started smoking some time ago and now you are finding _____ difficult to give it up. Believe me, I know how easy it is to begin smoking and how tough it is _______(stop). You see, during adolescence I also smoked and became addicted to cigarettes.By the way, did you know that this is ________ you bee addicted in three different ways? First, you can bee physically addicted to nicotine,________ is one of the hundreds of chemicals in cigarettes. This means that after a while your body bees accustomed to hav ing nicotine in it. So when the drug leaves your body, you get withdrawal symptom s. I remember feeling bad-tempered and sometimes even in pain. Secondly, you bee addicted through habit. As you know, if you do the same thing over and over again, you begin to do it automatically. Lastly, you can bee mentally addicted. I believed I was happier and more relaxed after having a cigarette, so I began to think that I could only feel good when I smoked. I was addicted in all three ways, so it was very difficult to quit. But I did finally manage.When I was young, I didn't know much about the________(harm)effect s of smoking. I didn't know, for example, that it could do terrible damage______ your heart and lungs or that it was more difficult for smoking couples to bee pregnant. I certainly didn't know their babies may have a smaller birth weight or even be abnormal in some way. Neither ___________ that my cigarette smoke could affect the health of non-smokers. However, what I did know was that my girlfriend thought I smelt terrible. She said my breath and clothes smelt, and that the ends of my fingers were turn ing yellow. She told me that she wouldn't go out with me again ________ I stopped! I also noticed that I became breathless quickly, and that I wasn't enjoying sport as much. When I was taken off the school football team because I was unfit, I knew it was time to quit________(smoke).I am sending you some advice I found on the Internet. It might help you to stop and __________(strength) your resolve. I do hope so because I want you to live as long and healthy a life _____ I have.Love fromGranddadHow can you stop smoking?It is not easy to stop smoking, but millions have managed _____ quit and so can you. Here are a few suggestions. Prepareyourself. Decide on a day to quit. Don’t choose a day that you know is going to be stressful, such as the day of an exam. Make a list of all the benefits you will get from stopping smoking. Then throw away your last packet of cigarettes.Be _____________(determine). Every time you fell like ________(smoke) a cigarette, remind yourself that you are a non-smoker. Reread the list of benefits you wrote _________(early).Break the habit. Instead of smoking a cigarette, do something else. Go for a walk, clean your teeth,drink some water, clean the house; in fact, do anything to keep your mind and especially your hands busy.Relax. If you start to feel nervous or stressed, do not reach for a cigarette. Try some deep breathing instead. Do some relaxation exercises every time you feel stressed.Get help if you need it. Arrange to stop smoking with a friend so you can talk about your problems, or join a stop-smoking group. If you feel desperate, you might like to talk to a doctor or chemist about something to help you, like nicotine chewing gum.Keep trying. Don’t be ___________(失望的) if you have to try several times __________you finally stop smoking. If you weaken and have a cigarette, do not feel __________(ashame). Just try again. You will succeed finally. Using LanguageReading HIV/AIDS:ARE YOU AT RISK?HIV is a virus. A virus is a very small living thing that causes disease. There are many different viruses, for example, the flu virus or the SARS virus. HIV weaken s a person's immune system; that is, the part of the body that fight s disease. You can have HIV in your blood for a long time, but eventually HIV will damage your immune system so much that you body can no longer fight disease. This stage of the illness is called AIDS. If you develop AIDS, your chances of ___________(survive) are very small.HIV is spread through blood or the fluid that the body makes during sex. For a person to bee infected, blood or sexual fluid that carries the virus, has to get inside the body through broken skin or by injection. One day scientists will find a cure for HIV/AIDS.Until that happens, you need to protect yourself. Here are some things you can do to make sure you stay safe.If you inject drugs:do not share your needle with anyone else. Blood from another person can stay on or in the needle. If a person has HIV and you use the same needle, you could inject the virus into your own blood.do not share anything else that a person has used while injecting drugs.Blood could have spilt on it.If you have sex with a male or a female:use a condom. This will prevent sexual fluid passing from one person to another.The following statements are NOT true.A person cannot get HIV the first time they have sex.WRONG. If one sexual partner has HIV, the other partner could bee infected.You can tell by looking at someone whether or not they have HIV.WRONG. Many people carrying HIV look perfectly healthy. It is only when the disease has progressed to AIDS _________ a person begins to look sick. Only homosexuals get AIDS.WRONG. Anyone who has sex with a person infected with H1V/AIDS risks gettingthe virus. Women are slightly more likely to bee infected than men.If you hug, touch or kiss someone with AIDS or visit them in their home, you will get HIV/AIDS.WRONG.You can only get the disease from blood or sexual fluid.Unfortunately, people with HIV sometimes lose their friends because of prejudice.Many people are afraid that they will get HIV/AIDS from those infected with HIV!AIDS. For the same reason, some AIDS patients cannot find anyone to look after them when they are sick.You can get HIV/AIDS from mosquitoes.WRONG. There is no evidence of this.词汇检测1. 再过两周2.由于…3.沉迷于4. 习惯于8.处在痛苦中9.有害的影响10.对…有害11.

That probably does not seem much to you or me, but it is a rapid increase when pared to other natural changes. So how has this e about and does it matter? Earth care's Sophie Armstrong explores these questions.There is no doubt that the earth is being warmer(see Graph 1) and that it is human activity_______ has caused this global warming rather than a random but natural phenomenon.All scientists subscribe to the view ________the increase in the earth's temperature is due _____the burning of fossil fuels like coal, natural gas and oil to produce energy. Some byproducts of this process are called "greenhouse" gases, the most important one of________ is carbon dioxide. Dr Janice Foster explains: "There is a natural phenomenon that scientists call the "greenhouse effect".This is when small amounts of gases in the atmosphere, like carbon dioxide, methane and water vapour, trap heat from the sun and therefore warm the earth. Without thegreenhouse effect the earth would be about thirty-three degrees Celsciu________(cool) than it is. So, we need those gases. The problem begins when we add huge quantities ofextra carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. It means that more heat energy tends tobe ________(trap) in the atmosphere causing the global temperature to go up.We know that the levels of carbon dioxide have increased greatly over the last 100 to 150 years. It was a scientist called Charles Keeling, who made accuratemeasurement s of the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere from 1957 to 1997. He found that between these years the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere went up from around 315 parts to around 370 parts per million(see Graph 2)All scientists accept this data. They also agree that it is the burning of more and more fossil fuels that has resulted ______ this increase in carbon dioxide. So how high will the temperature increase go? Dr Janice Foster says that over the next 100 years the amount of warming could be as low as 1 to 1.5 degrees Celsius, but it could be as high as 5 degrees.However, the attitude of scientists________ this rise in pletely different.On the one hand, Dr Foster thinks that the trend which increases the temperature by 5 degrees would be a catastrophe.She says, " We can't predict the climate well enough to know what to expect, but it could be very serious."Others who agree _______ her think there may be a rise of several metres in the sea level, or predict severe storms, floods, droughts, famines, the spread of diseases and the _____________(disappear) of species.On the other hand, there are those, like George Hambley, who are opposed to this view, believe that we should not worry about high levels of carbon dioxide in the air. They predict that any warming will be mild with few bad environmental consequences. In fact, Hambley state s,"More carbon dioxide is actually a positive thing. It will make plants grow quicker; crops will produce more; it will encourage a greater range of animals-all of ________ will make life for human beings better."Greenhouse gases continue to build up in the atmosphere. Even if we start reducing the amount of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, the climate is going to keep on__________(warm) for decades or centuries. No one knows the effects of global warming. Does that mean we should do nothing? Or, are the risks too great? Using LanguageReadingWHAT CAN WE DO ABOUT GLOBAL WARMING?Dear Earth Care,I am doing a project on behalf of my school about global warming. Sometimes I feel that individual s can have little effect _____ such huge environmental problems. However, Istill think people should advocate improvements in the way we use energy today. As I'm not sure where to start with my project, I would appreciate any suggestions you may have.Thank you!OuyangGuang Dear OuyangGuang,There are many people who have a mitment like yours, but they do not believe they have the power to do anything to improve our environment. That is not true. Together, individuals can make a difference. We do not have to put up with pollution.The ________(grow) of the greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide in the air actually es as a result _____ many thingswe do every day. Here are a few suggestions on _______to reduce it. They should get you started with your project.We use a lot of energy in our houses. It is OK to leave an electrical appliance on so long as you are using it - if not, turn it _____! Do not be casual about this. So if you are not using the lights, the TV, the puter, and so on, turn them off. If you are cold, put on more clothes instead of turning up the heat.Motor vehicles use a lot of energy- so walk or ride a bike if you can.Recycle cans, bottles, plastic bags and newspapers if circumstances allow you to. It takes a lot of energy to make things from new materials, so, if you can, buy things made from __________(recycle)materials.Get your parents to buy things that are economical with energy - this includes cars as well as smaller things like fridges and microwaves.Plant trees in your garden or your school yard, as they absorb carbon dioxide from the air and refresh your spirit when you look at them.Finally and most importantly, be an __________(educate). Talk with your family and friends about global warming and tell them what you have learned.Remember - your ___________(contribute)count s!Earth Care 词汇检测1.发生,造成2.consumecusumer3.大量的4.上升,增长;升起5.导致6.反对7.tend8.环境的9.和…相比较10 毫无疑问11. state statement12. range13. glance14. steady15. widespread 16. economical17. average18. exist 名词19. on behalf of20. individual21. put up with22. advocate23. pollute 名词24. grow 名词25. 只要26. casual27. circumstance28.refresh29. educator30. contributionUnit 5 The power of nature WorkbookReading AN EXCITING JOBI have the greatest job in the world. I travel to unusual places and work alongside people from all over the world. Sometimes working outdoors, sometimes in an office, sometimes using scientific equipment and sometimes __________(meet) local people and tourists, I am never bored. Although my job is ____________(occasion) dangerous, I don't mind because danger excites me and makes me feel alive. However,the most important thing about my job is that I help protect ordinary people _________ one of the most powerful forces on earth-the volcano.I was __________(appoint) as volcanologist information for a database about Mount Kilauea, which is one of the most active volcanoes in Hawaii. Having collected and evaluated the information, I help other scientists to predict where lava from the volcano will flow next and how fast. Our work has saved man lives because people in the path of the lava can be warned to leave their houses. Unfortunately, we cannot move their homes out of the way, and many houses have been ___________(cover) with lava or burned to the ground.When boiling rock erupts from a volcano and crashes back to earth, it causes less damage than you might imagine. This is _________ no one lives near the top of Mount Kilauea, where the rocks fall. The lava that flow s slowly like a wave down the mountain causes far more damage because it buries everything in its path under the molten rock. However, the eruption itself is really exciting to watch and I shall never forget my first sight of one. It was in the second week after I arrived in Hawaii. Having worked hard all day, I went to bed early. I was fast asleep ________suddenly my bed began shaking and I heard a strange sound, like a railway train passing my window. Having experienced quite a few earthquakes in Hawaii already, I didn't take much notice. I was about to go back to sleep when suddenly my bedroom became as bright as day. I ran out of the house into the back garden where I could see Mount Kilauea in the distance. There had been an eruption from the side of the mountain and red hot lava was fountaining hundreds of metres into the air. It was an absolutely fantastic sight.The day after this eruption I was lucky enough to have a much _________(close) look at it. Two other scientists and I were driven up the mountain and dropped as close as possible to the crater that had been formed during the eruption. Having earlier collected special clothes from the observatory, we put them on before we went any closer. All three of us looked like spacemen. We had white protective suits that covered our whole body, helmets,big boots and special gloves. It was not easy to walk in these suits, but we slowly made our way to the edge of the crater and looked down into the red, boiling centre. The other two climbed down into the crater to collect some lava for later study, but this being my first experience, I stayed at the top and watched them.Today, I am just as enthusiastic about my job as the day I first started. Having studied volcanoes now for many years, I am still _________(amaze) at their beauty as well as their potential to cause great damage. Using Language THE LRKE OF HERVENChangbaishan is in Jilin Province, Northeast China.Much of this beautiful, mountainous area is thick forest .Changbaishan is China's largest nature reserve and it is kept in its ___________(nature)state for the people of China and visitors from all over the world to enjoy. The __________(high) of the land varies from 700 metres above sea level to over 2,000 metres and is home to a great diversity of rare plants and animals. Among the rare animals are cranes, black bears, leopards and tigers. Many people e to Changbaishan to study its unique plants and animals. Others e to walk in the mountains, to see the spectacular waterfalls or to bathe in the。
五册课文填空UNIT 1: GREAT SCIENTISTSJOHH SHOW DEFEATS “KING CHOLERA”John Snow was a famous doctor in London - so e________, indeed, ______ he __________(attend) Queen Victoria as her personal p___________. But he became __________(inspire) when he thought about _________(help) ordinary people ________(expose) to cholera. This was the _________(die) disease of its day. Neither its cause nor its cure _____________(understand). So many thousands of _________(terrify) people died every time there was an outbreak. John Snow wanted to face the c________ and solve this problem. He knew that cholera would never _______________(control) until its cause ___________(find)He became __________(interest) in two theories ______________(explain) how cholera killed people. The first suggested that cholera multiplied in the air. A cloud of dangerous gas floated around ________it found its victims. The second suggested that people absorbed this disease into their bodies with their meals. From the stomach the disease quickly _______(attack) the body and soon the ________(affect) person died.John Snow suspected that the second theory was correct________ he needed evidence. So when another outbreak _____(hit) London in 1854, he was ready to begin his enquiry. As the disease ______(spread) quickly through poor neighborhoods, he began to gather information. In two particular streets, the cholera outbreak was so severe that more than 500 people died in ten days. He was ____________(determine) to find out why.First he marked on a map the exact places _________ all the dead people had lived. This gave him a ________(value) clue about the cause of the disease. Many of the_________(die) were near the water pump in Broad Street (especially numbers 16, 37, 38 and 40). He also noticed that some houses (such as 20 and 21 Broad Street and 8 and 9 Cambridge Street) had had no deaths. He had not foreseen this, so he made further _____________(investigate). He discovered that these people worked in the pub at 7 Cambridge Street. They__________(give) free beer and so had not drunk the water from the pump. It seemed that the water was _____________( blame.)Next, John Snow looked into the source of the water for these two streets. He found that it came from the river ___________(pollute) by the dirty water from London. He ___________(immediate) told the_________( astonish) people in Broad Street _________(remove) the handle from the pump so that it could not be used. Soon afterwards the disease slowed down. He had shown that cholera _________( spread) by germs and not in a cloud of gas.In another part of London, he found supporting evidence from two other deaths __________( link) to the Broad Street outbreak. A woman, ________ had moved away from Broad Street, liked the water from the pump so much that she had it ___________(deliver) to her house every day. Both she and her daughter died of cholera after _________(drink) the water. ______ this extra evidence John Snow was able to announce with _______(certain) that polluted water carried the virus._________(prevent) this __________( happen) again, John Snow suggested that the source of all the water supplies __________(examine). The water companies ________(instruct) not ___________(expose) people to _________(pollute) water any more. Finally "King Cholera"_________( defeat).COPERNICUS’ REVOLUTIONRRY THEORYNicolaus Copernicus was ____________( fright) and his mind ________(confuse) Although he had tried to ignore them, all his mathematical calculations led to the same __________(conclude): that the earth was not the centre of the solar system. Only if you put the sun there did the movements of the other planets in the sky__________( make) sense. Yet he could not tell anyone about his theory as the powerful Christian Church would have punished him for even ___________(suggest) such an idea. They believed God had made the world and for that reason the earth was special and must be the centre of the solar system.The problem arose because astronomers had noticed that some planets in the sky seemed to stop, move backward and then go forward in a loop. Others appeared brighter at times and___________( bright) at others. This was very strange if the earth was the centre of the solar system and all planets went round it.Copernicus had thought long and hard about these problems and tried to find an answer. He had collected observations of the stars and used all his mathematical knowledge ________( explain) them. But only his new theory could do that. So between 1510 and 1514 he worked on it, gradually ___________(improve) his theory until he felt it was complete.In 1514 he showed it __________(private) to his friends. The changes he made to the old theory were revolutionary. He placed a fixed sun at the centre of the solar system with the planets__________( go) round it and only the moon still going round the earth. He also suggested that the earth was spinning as it went round the sun and this explained changes in the movement of the planets and in the brightness of the stars. His friends were enthusiastic and encouraged him _________( publish) his ideas, ________ Copernicus was cautious. He did not want _____________( attack) by the Christian Church, so he only published it as he lay________( die) in 1543.Certainly he was right to be careful. The Christian Church rejected his theory, ________(say) it was against God's idea and people ________ supported it would be attacked. Yet Copernicus' theory is now the basis __________ all our ideas of the universe are built. His theory replaced the Christian idea of gravity, _______ said things fell to earth because God created the earth as the centre of the universe. Copernicus showed this was obviously wrong. Now people can see that there is a direct link between his theory and the work of Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein and Stephen Hawking.Unit 2: THE GREAT KINGDOMPUZZLES IN GEOGRAPHYPeople may wonder _______ different words are used__________( describe ) these four countries: England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. You can clarify this question_______you study British history.First there was England. Wales _________( link) to it in the thirteenth century. Now when people refer to England you find Wales ________(include) as well. Next England and Wales __________( join) to Scotland in the seventeenth century and the name was changed to "Great Britain". Happily this _________(accomplish) without conflict when King James of Scotland became King of England and Wales as well. Finally the English government tried in the early twentieth century __________(form ) the United Kingdom by__________( get) Ireland__________( connect) in the same peaceful way. ________, the southern part of Ireland was ___________(will) and broke away _________( form) its own government. So only Northern Ireland joined with England, Wales and Scotland to become the United Kingdom and this _________(show) to the world in a new flag_________( call) the Union Jack.To their credit the four countries do work together in some areas (eg, the currency and international relations), ______ they still have very different institutions. For example, Northern Ireland, England and Scotland have different educational and legal systems as well as different football teams for competitions like the World Cup!England is the __________(large) of the four countries, and for convenience it ______________( divide) roughly into three zones. The zone nearest France is called the South of England, the middle zone is called the Midlands and the one nearest to Scotland __________(know) as the North. You find most of the population _____(settle) in the south, but most of the industrial cities in the Midlands and the North of England. Although, nationwide, these cities are not as large as _______ in China, they have world-famous football teams and some of them even have two! It is a pity that the industrial cities built in the nineteenth century do not attract visitors. For historical architecture you have to go to older but smaller towns ________(build)by the Romans. There you will find out more about British history and culture.The greatest historical treasure of all is London with its museums, art __________(collect), theatres, parks and buildings. It is the centre of national government and its administration. It has the oldest port built by the Romans in the first century AD, the oldest building _______(begin) by the Anglo-Saxons in the 1060s and the oldest castle constructed by later Norman rulers in 1066. There has been four sets of invaders of England. The first invaders, the Romans, left their towns and roads. The second, the Anglo-Saxons, left their language and their government. The third, the Vikings, influenced the vocabularyand place-names of the North of England, and the fourth, the Normans, left castles and introduced new words for food.If you look around the British countryside you will find evidence of all these invaders. You must keep your eyes open if you are going to make your trip to the United Kingdom________( enjoy) and worthwhile.SIGHTSEEING IN LONDON_________(worry) about the time available, Zhang Pingyu had made a list of the sites she wanted to see in London. Her first delight was going to the Tower. It was built long ago by the Norman invaders of AD 1066. Fancy! This solid stone, square tower had remained _________(stand) for one thousand years.Although the buildings had expanded around it, it remained part of a royal palace and prison ________(combine). To her great surprise, Zhang Pingyu found the Queen's jewels ________(guard) by special royal soldiers ________, on special occasions, still wore the four-hundred-year-old uniform of the time of Queen Elizabeth I.There followed St Paul's Cathedral built after the terrible fire of London in 1666. It looked splendid when________(build) ! Westminster Abbey, too, was very interesting. It contained statues in memory of dead poets and writers, such as Shakespeare. Then just as she came out of the abbey, Pingyu heard the famous sound of the clock, Big Ben, _________(ring) out the hour. She finished the day by looking at the outside of Buckingham Palace, the Queen's house in London. Oh, she had so much to tell her friends!The second day the girl visited Greenwich and saw its old ships and famous clock______sets the world time. What interested her most was the longitude line. It is an________( imagine) line _________(divide) the eastern and western halves of the world and is very useful for navigation. It passes through Greenwich, so Pingyu had a photo ________(take)__________(stand) on either side of the line.The last day she visited Karl Marx's statue in Highgate Cemetery. It seemed strange that the man _______ had developed communism should have lived and died in London. Not only that, but he had worked in the famous reading room of the Library of the British Museum. ________(sad) the library had moved from its __________(origin) place into another building and the old reading room_________(go). But she was _______(thrill) by so many wonderful treasures from different cultures __________(display) in the museum. When she saw many visitors _________(enjoy) looking at the beautiful old Chinese pots and other objects on show, she felt very proud of her country.The next day Pingyu was leaving London for Windsor Castle. "Perhaps I will see the Queen?" she wondered as she _________(fall)asleep.Unit 3: Life in the futureDear Mum and Dad,I still cannot believe that I am taking up this prize that I won last year. I have to remind myself constantly that I am really in AD 3008. _________(worry) about the journey, I was unsettled for the first few days. As a result, I suffered from“time lag”. This is similar________the “jet lag” you get from flying, but it seems you keep _________(get) flashbacks from your previous time period. So I was very nervous and ________(certain) at first. ________, my friend and guide, Wang Ping, was very ______________(understand) and gave me some green tablets ______ helped a lot. __________(well know) for their expertise, his parents’ company, ________(call) “Future Tours”, transported me ______(safe) into the future in a time capsule.I can still remember the moment ________ the space stewardess called us all to the capsule and we climbed in through a small opening. The seats were comfortable and after a ________(calm) drink, we felt sleepy and closed our eyes. The capsule began swinging ________(gentle) sideways as we lay_______( relax) and dreaming. A few minutes ______(late) , the journey was completed and we had arrived. I was still on the earth but one thousand years in the future. What would I find?At first my new surroundings were difficult ________( tolerate). The air seemed thin, as though its combination of gases had little oxygen _____(leave). _________(hit) by a lack of fresh air, my head ached. Just as I tried to make the necessary __________(adjust) to this new situation, Wang Ping appeared. “Put on this mask,” he advised. “It’ll make you feel much ________(good).” He handed it to me and immediately ________(hurry) me through to a small room nearby for a rest. I felt better in no time. Soon I was back on my feet again and following him _________( collect) a hovering carriage_____( drive) by computer. These carriages float above the ground and by bending or pressing down in your seat, you can move swiftly. Wang Ping fastened my ________(safe) belt and showed me how to use it. Soon I could fly as fast as him. However, I lost sight of Wang Ping when we reached _________ looked like a large market because of too many carriages______( fly) by in all directions.

A conventional artist of this period was not interested in showing nature and people as they really were. A typical picture at this time was full of religious symbol s, which created a feeling of respect and love for God. But it was evident_________ ideas were changing in the 13th century when painters like Giotto di Bondone began to paint religious scenes in a more realistic way.The Renaissance(15th to 16th century)During the Renaissance, new ideas and values gradually replaced those held in the Middle Ages. People began to concentrate less on religious themes and adopt a more humanistic attitude to life. At the same time painters returned to classical Roman and Greek ideas about art.

Some poems tell a story or describe something in a way that will give the reader a strong___________(impress).Others try to convey certain emotion s. Poets use many different forms of poetry to express themselves. In this text, however, we will look at a few of the simpler forms.Some of the first poetry a young child learns in English is nursery rhymes. These rhymes like the one on the right (A) are still a common type of children's poetry. The language is concrete but imaginative, and they delight small children because they rhyme, have strong rhythm and a lot of repetition. The poems may not make sense and even seem contradictory, but they are easy to learn and recite. By playing with the words in nursery rhymes, children learn about language.(A)Hush, little baby, don't say a word, Papa's going to buy you a mockingbird.If that mockingbird won't sing, Papa's going to buy you a diamond ring.If that diamond ring turns to brass, Papa's going to buy you a looking-glass.If that looking-glass gets broke, Papa's going to buy you a billy-goat.If that billy-goat runs away,Papa's going to buy you another today.One of the simplest kinds of poems are those like B and C that list things. List poems have a flexible line length and repeated phrases which give both a pattern and a rhythm to the poem. Some rhyme (like B) while others do not (like C).(B)I saw a fish- pond all on fire I saw a fish-pond all on fire, I saw a house bow to a squire, I saw a person twelve-feet high,I saw a cottage in the sky,I saw a balloon made of lead, I saw a coffin drop down dead,I saw two sparrows run a race,I saw two horses making lace,I saw a girl just like a cat,I saw a kitten wear a hat,I saw a man who saw these too,And said though strange they all were true.(C)Our first football matchWe would have won ...if Jack had score d that goal,if we'd had just a few more minutes,if we had trained harder,if Ben had pass ed the ball to Joe,if we'd had thousands of fans scream ing,if I had n't take n my eye off the ball,if we hadn't stayed up so late the night before,if we hadn't taken it easy,if we hadn't run out of energy.We would have won ...if we'd been better!Another simple form of poem that students can easily write is the cinquain, a poem made up of five lines. With these, students can convey a strong picture in just a few words. Look at the examples (D and E) on the top of the next page.(D)BrotherBeautiful, athletic Teasing, shouting, laughing Friend and enemy tooMine(E)SummerSleepy, salty Drying, drooping, dreading Week in, week outEndlessHaiku is a Japanese form of poetry that is made up of 17 syllables. It is not a traditional form of English poetry, but is very popular with English writers. It is easy to write and, like the cinquain, can give a clear picture and create a special feeling using the minimum of words. The two haiku poems (F and G) above are translations from the Japanese.(F) A fallen blossomIs coming back to the branch.Look, a butterfly!( by Moritake)(G)Snow having melt ed, The whole village is brimful Of happy children.(by Issa)Did you know that English speakers also enjoy other forms of Asian poetry - Tang poems from China in particular? A lot of T ang poetry has been translated into English. This T ang poem (H) is a translation from the Chinese.(H)Where she awaits her husband(by Wang Jian)On and on the river flows.Never looking back, Transformed into stone.Day by day upon the mountain top, wind and rain revolve.Should the traveller return, this stone would utter speech.Using LanguageListening,reading and discussingI'VE SAVED THE SUMMER(by Rod McKuen)I've saved the summerAnd I give it all to youTo hold on winter morningsWhen the snow is new.I've saved some sunlightIf you should ever needA place away from darknessWhere your mind can feed. And for myself I've kept your smile When you were but nineteen,Till you're older you'll not know What brave young smiles can mean.I know no answersTo help you on your wayThe answers lie somewhereAt the bottom of the day.But if you've a need for loveI'll give you all l ownIt might help you down the road Till you've found your own.词汇检测1. convey2. emotion3. 给某人留下深刻印象4. 表达自己(的思想感情)5 尤其,特别6. 进球7.不睡觉,熬夜8.放松,不着急9.用光10.由……组成11.轻松,不紧张12. 目不转睛13. contradictory14. 灵活的;可弯曲的;柔顺的15. tease16. endless17.translation 被翻译成18. 尤其19. eventually20. transform21. sorrow22. bare23. appropriate24. exchange25. sponsor 26. compass27. championship28. dark n.29. warm n.30. scholarship31. let out32. loadUnit 3 A healthy lifeReading ADVICE FROM GRANDADDear James,It is a beautiful day here and I am sitting under the big tree at the end_____ the garden.

First, you can become physically addicted to nicotine, ________ is one of the hundreds of chemicals in cigarettes. This means that after a while your body becomes accustomed to hav ing nicotine in it. So when the drug leaves your body, you get withdrawal symptom s. I remember feeling bad-tempered and sometimes even in pain. Secondly, you become addicted through habit. As you know, if you do the same thing over and over again, you begin to do it automatically. Lastly, you can become mentally addicted. I believed I was happier and more relaxed after having a cigarette, so I began to think that I could only feel good when I smoked. I was addicted in all three ways, so it was very difficult to quit. But I did finally manage.When I was young, I didn't know much about the________(harm) effect s of smoking. I didn't know, for example, that it could do terrible damage ______ your heart and lungs or that it was more difficult for smoking couples to become pregnant. I certainly didn't know their babies may have a smaller birth weight or even be abnormal in some way. Neither ___________ that my cigarette smoke could affect the health of non-smokers. However, what I did know was that my girlfriend thought I smelt terrible. She said my breath and clothes smelt, and that the ends of my fingers were turn ing yellow. She told me that she wouldn't go out with me again ________ I stopped! I also noticed that I became breathless quickly, and that I wasn't enjoying sport as much. When I was taken off the school football team because I was unfit, I knew it was time to quit________(smoke).I am sending you some advice I found on the Internet. It might help you to stop and __________(strength) your resolve.

Instead of smoking a cigarette, do something else. Go for a walk, clean your teeth, drink some water, clean the house; in fact, do anything to keep your mind and especially your hands busy.Relax. If you start to feel nervous or stressed, do not reach for a cigarette. Try some deep breathing instead. Do some relaxation exercises every time you feel stressed.Get help if you need it. Arrange to stop smoking with a friend so you can talk about your problems, or join a stop-smoking group. If you feel desperate, you might like to talk to a doctor or chemist about something to help you, like nicotine chewing gum.Keep trying. D on’t be ___________(失望的) if you have to try several times __________you finally stop smoking. If you weaken and have a cigarette, do not feel __________(ashame). Just try again. You will succeed finally.Using LanguageReading HIV/AIDS: ARE YOU AT RISK?HIV is a virus. A virus is a very small living thing that causes disease. There are many different viruses, for example, the flu virus or the SARS virus. HIV weaken s a person's immune system; that is, the part of the body that fight s disease. You can have HIV in your blood for a long time, but eventually HIV will damage your immune system so much that you body can no longer fight disease. This stage of the illness is called AIDS. If you develop AIDS, your chances of ___________(survive) are very small.HIV is spread through blood or the fluid that the body makes during sex. For a person to become infected, blood or sexual fluid that carries the virus, has to get inside the body through broken skin or by injection. One day scientists will find a cure for HIV/AIDS.Until that happens, you need to protect yourself. Here are some things you can do to make sure you stay safe.If you inject drugs:do not share your needle with anyone else. Blood from another person can stay on or in the needle. If a person has HIV and you use the same needle, you could inject the virus into your own blood.do not share anything else that a person has used while injecting drugs. Blood could have spilt on it.If you have sex with a male or a female:use a condom. This will prevent sexual fluid passing from one person to another.The following statements are NOT true.A person cannot get HIV the first time they have sex. WRONG. If one sexual partner has HIV, the otherpartner could become infected.You can tell by looking at someone whether or not they have HIV.WRONG. Many people carrying HIV look perfectly healthy. It is only when the disease has progressed to AIDS _________ a person begins to look sick.Only homosexuals get AIDS.WRONG. Anyone who has sex with a person infected with H1V/AIDS risks getting the virus. Women are slightly more likely to become infected than men.If you hug, touch or kiss someone with AIDS or visit them in their home, you will get HIV/AIDS. WRONG. You can only get the disease from blood or sexual fluid. Unfortunately, people with HIV sometimes lose their friends because of prejudice. Many people are afraid that they will get HIV/AIDS from those infected with HIV!AIDS. For the same reason, some AIDS patients cannot find anyone to look after them when they are sick.You can get HIV/AIDS from mosquitoes. WRONG.

That probably does not seem much to you or me, but it is a rapid increase when compared to other natural changes. So how has this come about and does it matter? Earth care's Sophie Armstrong explores these questions.There is no doubt that the earth is becoming warmer(see Graph 1) and that it is human activity_______ has caused this global warming rather than a random but natural phenomenon.All scientists subscribe to the view ________ the increase in the earth's temperature is due _____the burning of fossil fuels like coal, natural gas and oil to produce energy. Some byproducts of this process are called "greenhouse" gases, the most important one of________ is carbon dioxide. Dr Janice Foster explains:"There is a natural phenomenon that scientists call the "greenhouse effect". This is when small amounts of gases in the atmosphere, like carbon dioxide, methane and water vapour, trap heat from the sun and therefore warm the earth. Without the greenhouse effect the earth would be about thirty-three degrees Celsciu ________(cool) than it is. So, we need those gases. The problem begins when we add huge quantities of extra carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. It means that more heat energy tends to be ________(trap) in the atmosphere causing the global temperature to go up.We know that the levels of carbon dioxide have increased greatly over the last 100 to 150 years. It was a scientist called Charles Keeling, who made accurate measurement s of the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere from 1957 to 1997. He found that between these years the carbon dioxide in the atmosphere went up from around 315 parts to around 370 parts per million(see Graph 2)All scientists accept this data. They also agree that it is the burning of more and more fossil fuels that has resulted ______ this increase in carbon dioxide. So how high will the temperature increase go? Dr Janice Foster says that over the next 100 years the amount of warming could be as low as 1 to 1.5 degrees Celsius, but it could be as high as 5 degrees. However, the attitude of scientists________ this rise in completely different.On the one hand, Dr Foster thinks that the trend which increases the temperature by 5 degrees would be a catastrophe.She says, " We can't predict the climate well enough to know what to expect, but it could be very serious."Others who agree _______ her think there may be a rise of several metres in the sea level, or predict severe storms, floods, droughts, famines, the spread of diseases and the _____________(disappear) of species.On the other hand, there are those, like George Hambley, who are opposed to this view, believe that we should not worry about high levels of carbon dioxide in the air. They predict that any warming will be mild with few bad environmental consequences. In fact, Hambley state s,"More carbon dioxide is actually a positive thing. It will make plants grow quicker; crops will produce more; it will encourage a greater range of animals-all of ________ will make life for human beings better."Greenhouse gases continue to build up in the atmosphere. Even if we start reducing the amount of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, the climate is going to keep on__________(warm) for decades or centuries. No one knows the effects of global warming. Does that mean we should do nothing? Or, are the risks too great?Using LanguageReadingWHAT CAN WE DO ABOUT GLOBAL WARMING?Dear Earth Care,I am doing a project on behalf of my school about global warming. Sometimes I feel that individual s can have little effect _____ such huge environmental problems. However, I still think people should advocate improvements in the way we use energy today. As I'm not sure where to start with my project, I would appreciate any suggestions you may have.Thank you!Ouyang GuangDear Ouyang Guang,There are many people who have a commitment like yours, but they do not believe they have the power to do anything to improve our environment. That is not true. Together, individuals can make a difference. We do not have to put up with pollution.The ________(grow) of the greenhouse gas, carbon dioxide in the air actually comes as a result _____ many things we do every day. Here are a few suggestions on _______to reduce it. They should get you started with your project.We use a lot of energy in our houses. It is OK to leave an electrical appliance on so long as you are using it - if not, turn it _____! Do not be casual about this. So if you are not using the lights, the TV, the computer, and so on, turn them off. If you are cold, put on more clothes instead of turning up the heat.Motor vehicles use a lot of energy- so walk or ride a bike if you can.Recycle cans, bottles, plastic bags and newspapers if circumstances allow you to. It takes a lot of energy to make things from new materials, so, if you can, buy things made from __________(recycle)materials.Get your parents to buy things that are economical with energy - this includes cars as well as smaller things like fridges and microwaves.Plant trees in your garden or your school yard, as they absorb carbon dioxide from the air and refresh your spirit when you look at them.Finally and most importantly, be an __________(educate). Talk with your family and friends about global warming and tell them what you have learned.Remember - your ___________(contribute) count s!Earth Care 词汇检测1.发生,造成2.consume cusumer3.大量的4.上升,增长;升起5.导致6.反对7.tend8.环境的9.和…相比较10 毫无疑问11. state statement12. range13. glance14. steady15. widespread 16. economical17. average18. exist 名词19. on behalf of20. individual21. put up with22. advocate23. pollute 名词24. grow 名词25. 只要26. casual27. circumstance28.refresh29. educator30. contributionUnit 5 The power of nature WorkbookReading AN EXCITING JOBI have the greatest job in the world. I travel to unusual places and work alongside people from all over the world. Sometimes working outdoors, sometimes in an office, sometimes using scientific equipment and sometimes __________(meet) local people and tourists, I am never bored. Although my job is ____________(occasion) dangerous, I don't mind because danger excites me and makes me feel alive. However, the most important thing about my job is that I help protect ordinary people _________ one of the most powerful forces on earth-the volcano.I was __________(appoint) as volcanologist information for a database about Mount Kilauea, which is one of the most active volcanoes in Hawaii. Having collected and evaluated the information, I help other scientists to predict where lava from the volcano will flow next and how fast. Our work has saved man lives because people in the path of the lava can be warned to leave their houses. Unfortunately, we cannot move their homes out of the way, and many houses have been ___________(cover) with lava or burned to the ground.When boiling rock erupts from a volcano and crashes back to earth, it causes less damage than you might imagine. This is _________ no one lives near the top of Mount Kilauea, where the rocks fall. The lava that flow s slowly like a wave down the mountain causes far more damage because it buries everything in its path under the molten rock. However, the eruption itself is really exciting to watch and I shall never forget my first sight of one. It was in the second week after I arrived in Hawaii. Having worked hard all day, I went to bed early. I was fast asleep ________ suddenly my bed began shaking and I heard a strange sound, like a railway train passing my window. Having experienced quite a few earthquakes in Hawaii already, I didn't take much notice. I was about to go back to sleep when suddenly my bedroom became as bright as day. I ran out of the house into the back garden where I could see Mount Kilauea in the distance. There had been an eruption from the side of the mountain and red hot lava was fountaining hundreds of metres into the air. It was an absolutely fantastic sight.The day after this eruption I was lucky enough to have a much _________(close) look at it. Two other scientists and I were driven up the mountain and dropped as close as possible to the crater that had been formed during the eruption. Having earlier collected special clothes from the observatory, we put them on before we went any closer. All three of us looked like spacemen. We had white protective suits that covered our whole body, helmets, big boots and special gloves. It was not easy to walk in these suits, but we slowly made our way to the edge of the crater and looked down into the red, boiling centre. The other two climbed down into the crater to collect some lava for later study, but this being my first experience, I stayed at the top and watched them.Today, I am just as enthusiastic about my job as the day I first started. Having studied volcanoes now for many years, I am still _________(amaze) at their beauty as well as their potential to cause great damage. Using Language THE LRKE OF HERVEN。
