Step7课文复述：根据下面课文翻译，进行课文复述。 他们曾有的乐趣 2157年5月17日，玛吉在日记中写道：“今天，汤米发现了一本真正的书！” 那是一本非常古老的书。他们翻动着泛黄的旧书页。读着上面的文字，感觉十分奇特。 这些字就静静地印在纸上，不像屏幕上的内容那样会滚动移动。 “真浪费啊!” 汤米说，“我猜你读完这本书，就只能扔掉了。而我们的电视屏幕里，肯定存着上百万本书！我可不会把它扔掉。” 玛吉问：“这本书讲的是什么？” “学校。” “谁会写学校这种东西啊？” “因为这是一种很久以前的学校，好几百年前的那种。那时候有老师，但老师是真人。还有专门的教学楼，所有孩子和老师都会去那里上课。” 玛吉真想读读这种有趣的学校故事。可就在这时，妈妈喊她：“玛吉！该上课了！” 玛吉的教室就在卧室隔壁。她的老师是一台机器。此刻机器正开着机，等候着她。屏幕亮闪闪的。机器说道：“今天的课程是数学。请把昨天的作业放进作业入口。” 玛吉闷闷不乐地照做了。她脑海里一直想着那种古老的学校：邻里间的所有孩子都聚在一起，在操场上嬉笑打闹；他们坐在同一间教室里上课，放学后一起回家。 而且，那时候的老师都是真人啊。 玛吉心想，古时候的学生们一定非常热爱上学吧。她不禁想起了他们曾拥有的那种乐趣。 （改编自艾萨克・阿西莫夫《他们曾有的乐趣》） 参考答案 Step 1 1.strange 2.waste 3.throw 4.guess 5.million 6.anyone 7.bedroom 8.machine 9.homework 10.neighbourhood Step 2 1.on 2.words 3.Why 4.an 5.hundreds 6.but 7.building 8.funny 9.yesterday’s 10.sadly Step 3 1.turned 2. to read 3.moving 4.finish 5.had 6.to read 7.called 8.waiting 9.put 10.was thinking 11.shouted 12.were Step 4 1.instead of 2.throw it away 3.television screen 4.hundreds of 5.next to 6.waiting for 7.lit up 8.thinking about 9.laughed and shouted 10.in the old days Step 5 1.It was strange to read the words. 2.They stood still on the pages, instead of moving across a screen. 3.When you finish the book, you just throw it away, I guess. 4.Because it's an old kind of school, from hundreds of years ago. 5.Margie's classroom was right next to her bedroom. 6.Please put yesterday's homework in the opening. 7.They sat together in the classroom, and went home together after school. 8.She was thinking about the fun they had.
