选自译林版老教材模块一Unit 1 ◎ School life in the UK ①Going to a British high school for one year was a very enjoyable① and exciting experience for me. I was very happy with the school hours in Britain because school starts around 9 a.m.and ends about 3：30 p.m. This means I could get up an hour later than usual②，as schools in China begin before 8 a.m. ①动名词短语Going to...作主语，谓语动词用单数形式。 On the first day，all of the new students attended an assembly③ in the school hall. I sat next to a girl ②whose name was Diana. We soon became best friends. During the assembly，the headmaster told us about the rules of the school. He also told us that the best way to earn④ respect⑤ was to devote⑥ ourselves to study and achieve high grades. This sounded like⑦ my school in China. ②关系代词whose引导定语从句，在从句中作name的定语。 I had many teachers in the past year. Mr Heywood，my class teacher，was very helpful. My favourite teacher was Miss Burke—I loved the lessons that she gave in English Literature⑧. In our class there were 28 students. This is about the average⑨ size for British ◎ ①enjoyable [ɪn'dʒɔɪəbl] adj.令人愉快的 ②than usual 比以往 ③assembly [ə'sembli] n. 集会 ④earn [ɜːn] vt.获得 ⑤respect [rɪ'spekt] vt. & n.尊敬 ⑥devote [dɪ'vəʊt] vt.致力于 ⑦sound like 听起来像…… ⑧literature ['lɪtrətʃə(r)] n.文学 ⑨average ['ævərɪdʒ] adj.一般的，普通的；平均的 schools. We had to move to different classrooms for different classes. We also had different students in some classes，so it was a struggle⑩ for me to remember all the faces and names. I found that the homework was not as heavy as ③what I used to get in my old school. However，it was a bit challenging for me at first，because all the homework was in English. I felt lucky，as all my teachers gave me much encouragement⑪ and I enjoyed all my subjects：English，History，English Literature，Computer Science，Maths，Science，PE，Art，Cooking and French. ③what...是what引导的宾语从句，作介词as的宾语。 My English improved a lot，④as I used English every day and spent an hour each day reading English books in the library. I usually went to the Computer Club during the lunch break⑫，so I could send e­mails to my family and friends back home for free⑬. I also had an extra⑭ French class on Tuesday evenings. Cooking was really fun ⑤as I learnt how to buy，prepare and cook food. At the end of term we held a class party and we all had to cook something. I was glad that all my classmates were fond of⑮ the cake that I made. ④as I used English...是as引导的原因状语从句。 ⑤as I learnt how to...是as引导的时间状语从句。 Students at that school have to study Maths，English and Science，but can stop studying some subjects if they do not like them，for example，History and French. They can choose other subjects like Art and Computer Science，or languages such as Spanish and German. In the Art class that I took，I made a small sculpture⑯. Though it did not look very beautiful when it was finished，I still liked it very much. I missed Chinese food a lot at lunch. British food is very different. British people like eating dessert⑰ at the end of their main meal. After lunch，we usually played on the school field. Sometimes I played football with the boys. Sometimes I just relaxed under a tree or sat on the grass. It was interesting to experience this different way of life. I look back on⑱ my time in the UK with satisfaction⑲，and I really look forward to⑳ my British friends' visit to China.,⑩struggle ['strʌɡl] n.难事；斗争；v.奋斗，努力；挣扎 ⑪encouragement [ɪn'kʌrɪdʒmənt] n.鼓励 ⑫lunch break 午餐时间 ⑬for free 免费 ⑭extra ['ekstrə] adj.额外的 ⑮be fond of 喜欢 ⑯sculpture ['skʌlptʃə(r)] n. 雕像，雕塑 ⑰dessert [dɪ'zɜːt] n. 甜点 ⑱look back (on)回顾 ⑲with satisfaction 满意 ⑳look forward to 盼望；渴望 ◎ 英国的学校生活 在英国上了一年的中学对我来说是一段非常令人愉快和兴奋的经历。我对英国中学的作息时间很满意，因为学校上午大约9点上课，下午大约3点半放学。这意味着我可以比以往晚一个小时起床，因为在中国学校上午8点之前就开始上课了。 开学第一天，所有的新生都去学校礼堂参加晨会。我坐在一个名叫黛安娜的女孩身边。我们很快就成了最要好的朋友。在晨会上，校长向我们宣布了校规。他还告诉我们，赢得尊重的最佳途径就是专心学习并取得好成绩。这听起来倒是像我在国内就读的学校。 过去的一年里我有过许多老师。海伍德先生，我的班主任，对我的帮助很大。我最喜欢的老师是伯克小姐——我喜爱她教的英国文学课程。我们班上一共有28个学生，英国中学的班级差不多就是这么大。我们上不同的课得去不同的教室。上某些课的时候，班上的同学也不一样，所以对我来说记住所有人的面孔和名字可是一件难事。 我发现这里布置的家庭作业不像我以前在原来学校时那么繁重，可一开始我还是觉得有些挑战性，因为所有的作业都是用英语写。我感到很幸运，因为我所有的老师都给了我很多鼓励，我也喜欢我所学的每一门功课：英语、历史、英国文学、计算机科学、数学、科学、体育、艺术、烹饪和法语。 我天天都在使用英语，每天还花一个小时在图书馆里阅读英文书籍，因此，我的英语有了很大进步。午饭休息时间我常去电脑俱乐部，这样我就可以免费给国内的家人和朋友发电子邮件了。我还额外选了一门功课——每个星期二晚上去听法语。当我学会如何买菜、配菜和做菜的时候，我发现烹饪真是乐趣无穷。学期末，我们班开了一个派对，我们每个人都要为派对做点吃的。班上所有的同学都喜欢我做的蛋糕，这真让我高兴。 数学、英语和科学是该校的必修课，但是，如果不喜欢某些科目是可以放弃的，如历史和法语。学生可以选修其他的科目，如艺术、计算机科学或者是西班牙语、德语之类的语言课。在我选修的艺术课上我做了一件小雕像。尽管完工之后它看上去并不十分漂亮，但我仍然非常喜欢它。 每到吃午餐的时候我就非常想念中国食物。英国的饮食很不一样，英国人在正餐结束时喜欢吃甜点。午餐后我们通常去学校运动场上玩耍。有时我和男生们一起踢足球。有时我干脆在树下休息或是在草地上坐一坐。 能够体验到这样一种不同的生活方式我觉得很有趣。回顾在英国的日子我很满意，真希望我的英国朋友来中国参观。 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
