Ⅰ 高二 英语 选修六 mole2 the cat that vanished
The Cat That Vanished (消失的猫)
威尔累得脑子都木了,他本可以继续向北走,也有可能在某棵树下头枕草地昏昏睡去,但是,正当他站在那儿,试图让头脑清醒些的时候,他看见了一只猫。
那是一只母斑猫,就像威尔家的莫克西一样。它轻轻地走出靠着牛津一侧街道上的一个花园,威尔正站在街边。他放下购物袋,伸出手,那只猫便跑到他身边,在他的手指间来回蹭起了脑袋,就像莫克西常常做的那样。当然所有的猫都是那样的,尽管如此,威尔还是渴望回家以至于热泪充满了他的双眼。
终于,那只猫转身跑开了。正值夜晚,它还要巡视自己的领地,捕捉老鼠。它轻轻地穿过马路,朝着角树林另一边的灌木丛走去,然后在那儿停了下来。
威尔继续盯着它,这时,他发现猫的举动变得非常奇怪
它伸出爪子去拍它前面空气中的某些东西,某种威尔看不见的东西。然后它向后一跃,脊背拱起,毛发竖立,尾巴僵直地伸着。威尔了解猫的习性。他更加警觉地看着,只见那只猫再次靠近那个地方---角树与花园树篱的灌木丛之间的一块空草地,又拍打了一下那里的空气。
它再次向后一跃,但这次没有跳得那么远,也没有那么害怕了。于是几秒钟的嗅来嗅去,爪子碰触,胡须抽动,终于好奇心战胜了警惕性。
那只猫向前一迈,然后就消失了。
威尔眨了眨眼睛。然后他静静地站着,紧靠离他最近的一棵树干,这时一辆卡车转弯驶过来,车灯照到他的身上。卡车开过去后,他穿过马路,眼睛盯着那只猫一直在打量的地方。这并不容易,因为他无法把目光集中在某件东西上,但是当他靠近那个地方,设法仔细观察时,他看出了端倪。
终于,他从某些角度看到了。那儿看上去就像有人在距离路边大约两米的地方将空间切开了一块,它大体呈方形,不到一米宽。如果你与那块空间处在同等高度,从侧面看你几乎看不到它,从后面则完全看不见它。只能从最靠近马路的一边看到它,但也很难看清楚,因为透过它,你所看到的一切与这一边完全相同:一片被街灯照亮的草地。
但是威尔深信不疑,另一边的那块草地在一个不同的世界里。
他不可能说得出所以然来。他只是马上就知道了,就好像他知道火会燃烧,善意是美好一样。他所注视着的是某种极为陌生的东西。
仅仅是这一理由,就足以吸引着他俯下身子向更深处望去。他看到的一切使他头晕目眩,心跳加速,但是他却毫不迟疑:他把购物袋塞了过去,继而自己也钻了过去---穿过现实世界框架上的这个洞,进入另一个世界。
他发现自己站在一排树下。那是一些高大的棕榈树,而不是角树,像在牛津一样,那些树木沿着草地排列成行。只是,他所处的是一条宽阔的马路中央,路的一侧是成行的咖啡馆和小商店,灯火通明,还在营业,在布满繁星的夜空下,所有的店铺都静悄悄,无人光顾。在这个炎热的晚上,空气中弥漫着鲜花的芳香和海水咸咸的味道。
威尔仔细地环顾四周。在他身后,满月映照着远处壮丽的青山的轮廓,山脚下的斜坡上坐落着带有美丽花园的房子,还有一块树木丛生的公共绿地,一座古典风格的庙宇在其上闪着微微的白光。
空气中的那个空洞就在他身边,无论是从这边还是那边都很难看见,但却确定无疑地存在着。俯身向空洞的那一边望去,他看到了自己的世界---牛津的街道。他不禁一颤,转过身来:无论这个新世界如何,总会好过他刚刚离开的那个世界。带着逐渐出现的眩晕感觉,那种处在半梦半醒之间的感觉,他站起身来环顾四周寻找他的向导---那只猫。

选修6 Unit 1 Art-Reading
A SHORT HISTORY OF WESTERN PAINTING
Art 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 religious themes. 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 symbols, which created feeling of respect and love for God. But it was evident that 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 graallv 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 discoveries ring 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 roles 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 deeper. Without the new paints and the new technique, we would not be able to see the many great masterpieces for which this period is famous.
Impressionism (late 19th to early 20th century)
In the late 19th century, Europe changed a great deal. from a mostly agricultural society to a mostly instrial one. Many people moved from the countryside to the new cities. There were many new inventions and social changes. Naturally, these changes also led to new painting styles. Among the painters who broke away from the traditional style of painting were the Impressionists, who lived and worked 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 those of earlier painters. At first, many people disliked this style of painting and became very angr about it. They said that the painters were careless and their paintings were ridiculous.
Modern Art (20th century to today)
At the time they were created, the Impressionist paintings were controversial, but today they are accepted as the beginning of what we call "modem art". This is because 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 modem art is abstract; that is, the painter does not attempt to paint objects as we see them with our eyes, but instead concentrates on certain qualities of the object, using colour, line and shape to represent them. On the other 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 will be in the future?
THE BEST OF MANHATTAN’S ART GALLERIES
The Frick Collection (5th Avenue and E.70th Street)
Many art lovers would rather visit this small art gallery than any other in New York. Henry Clay Frick, a rich New Yorker, died in 1919, leaving his house, furniture and art collection to the American people. Frick had a preference for pre-twentieth century Western paintings, and these are well-represented in this excellent collection. You can also explore Frick's beautiful home and garden which are well worth a Visit.
Guggenheim Museum(5th Avenue and 88th Street)
This museum owns 5,000 superb modern paintings, sculptures and drawings. These art works are not all displayed at the same time. The exhibition is always changing. It will appeal to those who love Impressionist and Post-Impressionist paintings. The Guggenheim Museum building is also world-famous. When you walk into gallery, you feel 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. The museum also has an excellent restaurant.
Metropolitan Museum of Art (5th Avenue and 82nd Street)
The reputation of this museum lies in the variety of its art collection. This covers more than 5,000 years of civilization from many parts of the world, including America, Europe, China, Egypt, other African countries and South America. The museum displays more than just the visual delights of art. It introces you to ancient ways of living. You can visit an Egyptian temple, a fragrant Ming garden, a typical room in an 18th century French house and many other special exhibitions.
Museum of Modern Art (53rd Street, between 5th and 6th Avenues)
It is amazing that so many great works of art from the late 19th century to the 21st century are housed in the same museum. The collection of Western art includes paintings by such famous artists as Monet, Van Gogh, Picasso and Matisse. A few words of warning: the admission price is not cheap and the museum is often very crowded.
Whitney Museum of American Art (945 Madison Avenue, near 75th Street)
The Whitney holds an excellent collection of contemporary American painting and sculpture. There are no permanent displays in this museum and exhibitions change all the time. Every two years, the Whitney holds a special exhibition of new art by living artists. The museum also shows videos and films by contemporary video artists.
选修6 Unit 2 Poems-Reading
A FEW SIMPLE FORMS OF ENGLISH POEMS
There are various reasons why people write poetry. Some poems tell a story or describe something in a way that will give the reader a strong impression. Others try to convey certain emotions. 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-portal 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 g 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 match
We would have won ...
if Jack had scored that goal,
if we'd had just a few more minutes,
if we had trained harder,
if Ben had passed the ball to Joe,
if we'd had thousands of fans screaming,
if I hadn't taken 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 Brother Beautiful, athletic Teasing, shouting, laughing Friend and enemy too Mine
E Summer Sleepy, salty Drying, drooping, dreading Week in, week out Endless
F A fallen blossom Is coming back to the branch. Look, a butterfly!
( by Moritake)
G Snow having melted, The whole village is brimful Of happy children.
(by Issa)
Haiku 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.
H Where she awaits her husband 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.,
(by Wang Jian)
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.
With so many different forms of poetry to choose from, students may eventually want to write poems of their own. It is easier than you might think and certainly worth a try!
I'VE SAVED THE SUMMER
I've saved the summer
And I give it all to you
To hold on winter mornings
When the snow is new.
I've saved some sunlight
If you should ever need
A place away from darkness
Where 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 answers
To help you on your way
The answers lie somewhere
At the bottom of the day.
But if you've a need for love
I'll give you all l own
It might help you down the road
Till you've found your own.
(by Rod McKuen)

人们写诗有着各种各样的理由。有些诗是为了叙事,或者说是描述某件事并给读者以强烈的印象。而有些诗则是为了传达某种感情。诗人用许多不同格式的诗来表达自己的情感。本文只谈了几种格式比较简 单的诗。
孩子们最早学习的英文诗是童谣。像右边的这首童谣(A)至今仍然是常见的。童谣的语言具体但富 有想象力,这能使小孩子们快乐,因为它们押韵,节奏感强,并较多重复。童谣不一定有什么意义,甚至 (有的)看来自相矛盾,但是它们容易学,也容易背诵。通过童谣中的文字游戏,孩子们学习了语言。
(A)
小宝宝,别说话,
爸爸给你买个小嘲鸟。
小嘲鸟,不会唱,
爸爸给你买个钻石戒。
钻石戒,变成铜,
爸爸给你买个小镜子。
小镜子,打破了,
爸爸给你买个小山羊。
小山羊,跑掉了。
爸爸今天再去给你买一只。
像(B)和(C)这样的列举事物的清单诗是诗歌中最简单的一种。清单诗可长可短,可以重复一些 短语,较为灵活,形成固定句型和诗的节奏。有些清单诗有韵脚(如B) ,但有一些没有(如C)。
(B)
我看到鱼塘在燃烧
我看到鱼塘在燃烧,
我看到房子向地主哈腰。
我看到人高一丈八,
我看到茅屋在天郊。
我看到汽球用铝做,
我看到棺材把死人抛。
我看到两只麻雀在赛跑,
我看到两匹马儿绣花包。
我看到姑娘像只猫,
我看到小猫戴花帽。
我看到有人在一旁瞄,
虽奇怪,但也把实情报。
(C)
我们的第一场球赛
我们本来会得冠….. .
如果杰克踢进了那个球,
如果我们还有几分钟,
如果我们训练得更严格,
如果本把球传给了乔,
如果有大批球迷助威,
如果我死死盯住球,
如果我们头晚不熬夜,
如果我们没有放松警惕,
如果我们没有精疲力竭,
我们本来是会得冠......
如果我们能干得更好!
另外一种学生容易写的简体诗是由五行组成的,叫做五行诗。用五行诗,学生可以用少量的词语传递一幅动人的画面。请看下一页上端的D和E两个例子。
(D)
兄弟
爱美,又爱运动
爱闹,爱叫,又爱笑
是我的朋友
也是我的敌人
(E)
夏天
困乏,咸涩
干润,枯萎,恐怖
周而复始 永无止境
徘句诗(Haiku)是一种日本诗,由17个音节组成。它不属英诗的传统形式,但是在用英语写作的人 们中间,这种诗也是很流行的。它容易写,而且像五行诗一样,它可以用最少的词语呈现出一幅清晰的画面,表达出一种特殊的感情。下面两首徘句诗(右边的F和G)就是从日文翻译出来的。
(F)
落下的花朵
回到了树枝上。
瞧啊,是个蝴蝶!
(G)
雪儿融化了,
整个村庄充满着
欢乐的儿童。
(作者: Issa)
(H)

王健
望夫处,江悠悠。
化为石,不回头。
山头日日风复雨,

课文翻译:
The Story of J.K. Rowling and Harry Potter
作品《哈利波特》的天才般的创作者--- J.K.罗琳,是英国魔幻文学的显赫人物。乔安妮
罗琳在老家---英格兰的西南部---长大。但是关于《哈利波特》的想法是在从曼彻斯特开往伦敦的延迟的火车上闯入她的脑海的。她把他的想法写在一个信封的背面。此后她去了葡萄牙教授英语,在那里,她继续给第一本《哈利波特》的框架添加血肉。但是她的名字永远和苏格兰的爱丁堡联系在一起,她生活在那里并把整个系列的7本书的框架构思出来。
关于J.K.罗琳是怎样在1990年开始《哈利波特与魔法石》的第一份草稿的,这里有许多趣闻。当她写作时,她又另外一个麻烦,那就是她还要照看她才几个月大的小女儿,而且由于他很穷,买不起打字机,只好用手写。在爱丁堡的温暖的咖啡馆里,她要花好长时间才能喝完一杯咖啡(以便在此期间写她的小说),因为她没钱支付家里的暖气费。
成功并非一帆风顺,罗琳曾经可能放弃。但她意志顽强并克服了所有困难。直到1997年她才完成第一部《哈利波特》小说,由于美国的出版商要求调整书名,这本书也被称作《哈利波特与魔法石》。
罗琳完成她的第一步小说后,打算每年写完一部一直到她完成整个系列。实际上,完成这个目标话费她10年的时间。继第一部成功之后,随后而来的几本书的成功也就随之而来了。第五部《凤凰社》仅在发行当天就销售出去700万册。
罗琳的写作风格成了一些批评的对象,但是这些作品之所以重要时因为他们吸引了各个年龄段的读者,并且在父母和孩子之间建立起了一条特殊的文字纽带。在一个电脑游戏和电视节目盛行的时代里,它们也再度掀起了对阅读的兴趣。《哈利波特》甚至已经成为学校课程的一部分,这使得学生们特别开心。
《哈利波特》的影响不仅仅局限于讲英语的国家。罗琳的小说已被翻译逾55种语言,估计已经向全世界发行超过2.5亿册。据推测到2005年,罗琳的银行累计存款已超过十亿美元。那是她已是第一位亿万富翁作家。
简介
《狮子,女巫,魔衣橱》的创作者---C.S.刘易斯(1898-1963)是英国最伟大的魔幻文学作家之一。露西发现了冰天雪地的纳尼亚,在那里她和她的两个哥哥,一个姐姐遇见了白女巫。他们也遇见了狮子阿斯兰,唯一能打败女巫并把夏天归还给纳尼亚的人。跟随阿斯兰,孩子们学会了勇敢和宽恕。他们历经大喜大悲,最终学到了智慧。他们在纳尼亚的时光是最大的冒险,那是每个孩子都梦寐以求的。
《狮子,女巫,魔衣橱》节选
那是她看到面前有一道光,离它不远处可以看到魔衣橱的后面,但走起来却很远。有种又凉又软的东西洒落在她身上。片刻之后,她发现她正站在晚间的树林中间,积雪踩在脚下,雪片从空中飘来。
露西感到有点害怕,但同时她也感到好奇兴奋。她扭头向后望去,透过黑色的树干,她仍能看到魔衣橱的入口处,甚至还能瞥见她走出的那个空房子。(当然,她让魔衣橱的门开着,因为她知道把自己关在衣橱里是件很愚蠢的事情。)厨外看起来仍是白天。露西想:“如果发生了什么事,我总是可以跑出来的”她开始往前走,伴着脚下咯吱咯吱的积雪声穿过树林,走向那边的亮光处。大约十分钟后她走到那里,发现它原来时个灯柱,她不知所措,然后,她听到有人正啪嗒啪嗒地向她走来。不久之后一个奇怪的人就从树林那边走过来,出现在灯光下面。
他比露西略微高一点,因下雪而打着伞,伞上覆盖着雪。从腰往上,他看起来像个人,但他的腿像羊腿(上面的毛又黑又亮),脚不是人脚而是羊蹄。他还有尾巴,不过起初路西没有看到,因为举着伞的手臂巧妙地遮住了他的摇摆以至于看不见。他脖子上长着长长的红毛,他的皮肤也略带红色。他的脸又小又奇怪但却很好看,胡子很显眼,头发打着卷儿,两只羊角从卷发里穿出来,长在前额的两侧。他的一只手,正如我刚才所说的,举着伞;在另一只手里拿着几只棕黄色的包裹。通过包裹和他身上的雪,他刚才好像去买圣诞礼物了。他是个半人半羊人。但看到露西时,他惊讶得把他的包裹都掉落到地上了。
“我的天哪!”他不禁喊道。
The Lord of the Rings(指环王)
20世纪最著名的魔幻故事之一是托尔金的《指环王》三部曲。这个故事的三个部分都被成功地拍成了电影。故事发生在一个叫做中世纪的世界。人类只是当时存在的生物物种之一。这个世界也存在着精灵族,他们是拥有魔力且永远不会死掉的高个子的美丽的生灵。有霍比特人,他们像个子矮小的人,居住在山洞中。也有爱小人,他们与小的,丑陋的人相似,居住在深山中。
在《指环王》中,有一个邪恶的叫做索伦的巫师,他拥有巨大的魔力,制造了九枚戒指。任何生灵拥有了其中的一枚戒指就会拥有巨大的魔力。但是索伦制造了一枚戒指——魔戒——它可以控制所有的戒指。拥有这枚戒指的人可以控制整个中世纪。
幸运的是,这枚戒指已经丢失了数百年了。但是后来它被一个霍比特人发现了。索伦已是到这枚魔戒已经被找到了,于是派他的生灵来夺回它。如果他得到了这枚魔戒,索伦将统治整个中世纪,而中世纪也将变成一个充满黑暗的恐惧的地方。一个善良的巫师甘达夫意识到为了拯救整个中世纪必须摧毁魔戒。为了做到这点,某人必须将魔戒带入索伦的王国。在那儿,他们必须在曾经制造这枚魔戒的火焰中毁掉它。这三本书讲述了在毁掉魔戒的征途上发生的故事。在三部曲中的最后一本书中,在索伦和那些想拯救中世纪的生灵之间展开了一场可怕的战争。
许多人认为《指环王》时20世纪最好的英文小说。当然,也有一些人不喜欢读魔幻小说。但是如果你喜欢,那么它应该是你必读的一个故事。
不知道这个是不是。

ANNE’S BEST FRIEND
Do you want a friend whom you could tell everything to, like your deepest feelings and thoughts? Or are you afraid that your friend would laugh at you, or would not understand what you are going through? Anne Frank wanted the first kind, so she made her diary her best friend.
安妮最好的朋友
你想不想有一位无话不谈能推心置腹的朋友?或者你会不会担心你的朋友会嘲笑你,会不理解你目前的困境呢?安妮?弗兰克想要的是第一种类型的朋友,所以她把的日记视为自己最好的朋友。
Anne lived in Amsterdam in the Netherlands ring World War II. Her family was Jewish so the had to hide or they would be caught by the German Nazis. She and her family hide away for two years before they were discovered. During that time the only true friend was her diary. She said, “I don’t want to set down a series of facts in a diary as most people do, but I want this diary itself to be my friend, and I shall call my friend Kitty.” Now read how she felt after being in the hiding place since July 1942.
在第二次世界大战期间,安妮住在荷兰的阿姆斯特丹。她一家人都是犹太人,所以他们不得不躲藏起来,否则就会被德国的纳粹分子抓去。她和她的家人躲藏了25个月之后才被发现。在那段时期,她的日记成了她唯一忠实的朋友。她说:“我不愿像大多数人那样在日记中记流水账。我要把我的日记当作自己的朋友,我把我的这个朋友叫做基蒂。”现在,来看看安妮自1942年7月起躲进藏身处后的那种心情吧。
Thursday 15, June, 1944
Dear kitty,
I wonder if it’s because I haven’t been able to be outdoors for so long that I’ve grown so crazy about everything to do with nature. I can well remember that there was a time when a deep blue sky, the song of the birds, moonlight and flowers could never have kept me spellbound. That’s changed since I was here.
…For example, when it was so warm, I stayed awake on purpose until half past eleven one evening in order to have a good look at the moon for once by myself. But as the moon gave far too much light, I didn’t dare open a window. Another time some months ago, I happened to be upstairs one evening when the window was open. I didn’t go downstairs until the window had to be shut. The dark, rainy evening, the wind, the thundering clouds held me entirely in their power; it was the first time in a year and a half that I’d seen the night face to face…
…Sadly…I am only able to look at nature through dirty curtains hanging before very sty windows. It’s no pleasure looking through these any longer because nature is one thing that really must be experienced.
Yours,
Anne

亲爱的基蒂:
我不知道这是不是因为我太久无法出门的缘故,我变得对一切与大自然有关的事物都无比狂热。我记得非常清楚,以前,湛蓝的天空、鸟儿的歌唱、月光和鲜花,从未令我心迷神往过。自从我来到这里之后,这一切都变了。
……比如说,有一天晚上天气很暖和,我故意熬到晚上11点半都不睡觉,为的就是能独自好好地看看月亮。但是因为月光太亮了,我都不敢打开窗户。还有一次,就在五个月以前的一个晚上,我碰巧在楼上,窗户是开着的,我一直呆到非关窗不可的时候才下楼去。漆黑的雨夜,刮着大风,电闪雷鸣,乌云滚滚,我完全被这种景象镇住了。这是我一年半以来第一次亲眼目睹的夜晚……
……不幸的是……我只能透过那满是灰尘的窗帘下那脏兮兮的窗户看看大自然。只能隔着窗户看那大自然实在没意思,因为大自然是需要真正体验的东西。
你的安妮

THE ROAD TO MODERN ENGLISH
At the end of the 16th century, about five to seven million people spoke English. Nearly all of them lived in England. Later in the next century, people from England made voyages to conquer other parts of the world and because of that, English began to be spoken in many other countries. Today, more people speak English as their first, second or foreign language than ever before.
通向现代英语之路
在16世纪末,大约有五至七百万人讲英语。几乎所有这些讲英语的人都住在英格兰。在其后的一个世纪中,英格兰人为征服世界航海到了世界其他一些地方,结果世界的其他地方的人们也开始说英语了。今天,把英语作为自己的第一语言、第二语言或外语来使用的人比以往任何时候都多。
Native English speakers can understand each other even if they don’t speak the same kind of English. Look at this example:
British Betty: Would you like to see my flat?
American Amy: Yes, I’d like to come up to your apartment.
以英语作为母语的人,即使他们所讲不是同一种英语,他们也能彼此听懂。请看看这个例子:
英国人贝蒂:来看看我的公寓吗?
美国人艾米:好的,我来看看你的公寓吧。
So why has English changed over time? Actually all languages change and develop when cultures meet and communicate with each other. At first the English spoken in England between about AD 450 and 1150 was very different from the English spoken today. It was based more on German than the English we speak at present. Then graally between about AD 800 and 1150, English became less like German because those who ruled England spoken first Danish and later French. These new settlers enriched the English language and especially its vocabulary. So by the 1600’s Shakespeare was able to make use of a wider vocabulary than ever before. In 1620 some British settlers moved to America. Later in the 18th century some British people were taken to Australia too. English began to be spoken in both countries.
那么,随着时间的推移英语为什么发生了变化呢?实际上,当不同文化相互交流渗透时,所有的语言都会有所发展和变化。开始,英格兰人在大约公元450年到1150年之间所说的英语与我们今天所说的英语很不一样。当时的英语更多的是以德语为基础的,不像我们现在说的英语。后来,大约在公元800年至1150年之间,英语慢慢变得不那么像德语,因为统治英格兰的那些人开始是说丹麦语,后来说法语。这些新来的定居者丰富了英语语言,尤其是丰富了英语词汇。所以到17世纪初的时候,莎士比亚能够得以使用比以往任何时候都丰富的词汇。1620年一些英国定居者来到了美洲,后来到了18世纪的时候,一些英国人还被带到了澳大利亚。英语也就开始在这两个国家使用。
Finally by the 19th century the language was settled. At that time two big changes in English spelling happened: first Samuel Johnson wrote his dictionary and later Noah Webster wrote The American Dictionary of the English Language. The latter gave a separate identity to American English spelling.
最后到19世纪的时候,英语这种语言就变得稳定了。当时,英语的拼写发生了两个很大的变化:先是塞缪尔•约翰逊编写了他的英语词典,后是诺亚•韦伯斯特出版了《美国英语词典》。后者使得美式英语的拼写有了其独特的个性。

教学难点 Master the usage of the -ing form as adverbials and properly use it in writing
教学过程
Lead-in: Song appreciation
(1) Play the song Take me to your heart before class.
(2) Start the class with a clip of the song sung by the teacher.
(3) Lead the Ss to notice the -ing form used as adverbials in the lyrics.
This is a warming-up step designed to arouse Ss’ enthusiasm and to come to the point.
Step 1: We Choose
Task 1: Observe the -ing form in each sentence and decide what it refers to.
(reason, result, concession, time, manner, condition)
1. Being very rich, he spends as much money as he likes. (reason)
2. Working hard, you’ll surely succeed. (condition)
3. They sat there, waiting for the beginning of the sports meeting. (manner)
4. Walking on the street, he came across a long-lost friend. (time)
5. The polar bear was not careful enough, falling on the icy ground. (result)
6. Not understanding what you are talking about, I still admire you. (concession)
It is intended to remind Ss that the -ing form can be used as various kinds of adverbials. Ask several Ss to answer and, if necessary, interpret the sentences for them with adverbial clauses.
Task 2: Check the words in red and decide their relation with the subject and the predicate. (A. active B. passive C. meanwhile D. before-after)
Laughing and jumping, he left school.
Having finished his homework, he left school.
Being talked about at that time, he left school.
Having been punished, he left school.
First, let Ss choose the correct relation between the -ing form and the subject and that between the -ing form and the predicate in each sentence. Then lead Ss to sum up the differences among “doing”, “having done”, “being done” and “having been done”.
Task 3: Read the sentences aloud and recall the tips.
When the reading is finished, ask Ss how to use the -ing form as adverbials.
It is intended as a transition from “what” to “how” and the second step is naturally introced.
Step 2: We Change
Task 1: (Group work) Identify the mistakes in the following sentences and change the sentences into correct ones. Discuss your reason.
1. I had a wonderful childhood, travel around the world.
2. When crossed the road, you should be careful.
3. Having not finished his homework, he was punished by his parents.
4. Working hard, your dream will come true.
It is aimed to revise the usage of the -ing form as adverbials. By group discussion, Ss may find it easier to solve the problem. Matters such as non-predicate, relation, conjunction, negative words and logical subject are all involved.
Task 2: (Pair work) Orally change the adverbial clauses or compound sentences into the -ing form as adverbials.
e.g. After we have been informed of Mr. Li’s birthday, we hurried to express our best wishes on the blackboard.
(Notice that only the clause part will be changed: predicate→non-predicate)
Having been informed of Mr. Li’s birthday, we hurried to……
1. Because we hoped to convey our concern for him, we asked Miss Zhu to bring him a card.
2. When we danced together, we felt very excited.
3. Although we had not met him before, we still treated him as an old friend.
4. If you think it over, you will have a good idea.
5. She stood on the stage and played with her hair.
6. He was so humorous that he made us burst into laughter.
It is designed for Ss to put into practice the tips mentioned in the previous task.
Step 3: We Chat
Task 1: Using the correct form of the given verbs, help me to complete the caption of my moment.
Last month, I led my students to join in the oral English competition.
(live) far away from the site, we had to get up early in the morning. (not eat) anything before, I felt hungry. As for the students, though tired, they were still enthusiastic about the coming challenge, (talk and laugh) on the bus. When (arrive) at the site, they were very excited.
(devote) to practicing before, they did a wonderful job in the competition, (bring) glory to our school. As far as I am concerned, (make) great efforts to practice, any of you can also stand out.
It is a revision of the tips mentioned. In addition, it sets an example of how to use the -ing form as adverbials in our daily life.
Task 2: Writing
o Choose a picture to post.
o Write the caption for it.
o Try to use the -ing form as adverbials. (3 minutes)
Ss are asked to choose a picture from five and write the caption for it by using the -ing form as adverbials in 3 minutes. This is to integrate what has been covered and put it into practice.
Task 3: Sharing
o Move around the classroom.
o Share your moment.
o Get “like” or “comment”.
(You may also leave your comment when discovering any grammatical mistake.)
An example is shown to clarify the instruction. Then Ss are given five minutes to share their moments with their classmates. This is a peer proof-reading activity.
Task 4: Presenting
o How many“ likes” have you got?
o What about “comments”?
o Who would like to share with the whole class your moment or the comments you got?
This is for several volunteers to present their works and notice the common mistakes when using the -ing form as adverbials.
Step 4: Summary
Summarize what we have learnt today:
o 6 kinds of adverbials
o 4 forms of -ing
o 5 tips
This is to remind Ss of what they have learnt today.
