Unit 1 Great scientists
[2016·北京卷]假设你是红星中学高三学生李华。你的英国朋友Jim 在给你的邮件中提到他对中国历史很感兴趣,并请你介绍一位你喜欢的中国历史人物。请你给Jim回信,内容包括:
1.该人物是谁;
2.该人物的主要贡献;
3.该人物对你的影响。
Dear Jim,
It s great to hear from you. I feel proud knowing your interest in Chinese history.
As for my favourite figure in Chinese history, it must be Wei Yuan, a great thinker in the late Qing Dynasty. He,in his book,Haiguo Tuzhi(Maps and Records of the World),introduced modern technologies and ideas to China. That opened our eyes to the world. In fact, he inspires me to major in English in college, to be a bridge between China and the world.
Interested in knowing more?I can find you some books!Just let me know.
Cheers!
Yours,
Li Hua
