课文1 CLIMBING QOMOLANGMA: WORTH THE RISKS?
(攀登珠穆朗玛峰:值得冒险吗?)
Last year, hundreds of people spent good money on an experience include crowds, discomfort and danger. Many would become sick, due to the extreme cold and low air pressure, and a few would even lose their lives. Yet, despite all this, by the end of the trip many were already planning to return. For these people, like no other, making some feel weak and others, powerful.
[课文对译]
明知道会是一次拥挤、不舒适而又危险的体验,去年仍有数百人愿意为此花费大价钱。由于极端严寒与低气压,很多人会生病,甚至有少数人会丢掉性命。尽管如此,在旅程的结尾,已经有很多人在计划着重返这里。对于这些人来说,攀登珠穆朗玛峰是一项独一无二的体验,它让一些人感受到脆弱的同时也让另一些人感受到强大。
[难句破解]
句① that引导定语从句,修饰an experience,其中they knew作插入语。
句② climbing Qomolangma是动名词短语作主语,“making ... powerful”是现在分词短语作伴随状语。
British mountain climber George Mallory wrote of climbing Qomolangma, “What we get from this adventure is just sheer joy ... We do not live to eat and make money. We eat and make money to be able to enjoy life. Sadly, Mallory would die on the mountain in 1924, although his body would not be found until many years later. It
[课文对译]
英国登山家乔治·马洛里曾这样记述攀登珠峰的体验:“我们从这项冒险活动中获得的是纯粹的快乐……我们活着不是为了吃饭和挣钱。我们吃饭和挣钱是为了能够享受生活。这才是生活的意义和目标。”可惜的是,1924年马洛里在登山过程中身亡,而他的遗体多年后才被找到。至今人们也不知道他生前是否成功登顶了珠峰。
[难句破解]
句③ 本句中,两个what引导的从句都是表语从句。
句④ 本句中,it作形式主语,if引导主语从句作真正的主语,before引导时间状语从句。
In 2011, words similar to those of Mallory were spoken by American mountain climber Alan Arnette, who climbed Qomolangma in that year and was going to climb other high mountains around the world. “It brings into focus what's important to you.” He added, “There are a thousand reasons to turn around and only one to keep going. You really have to focus on the one reason that's most important and unique to you. It forces you to look deep inside yourself and figure out want to stop.”
[课文对译]
2011年,美国登山家艾伦·阿内特也说过与马洛里类似的话。那一年他登上了珠峰,之后又准备去攀登世界各地其他的高山。“登山让你聚焦于对你而言重要的事,”他补充道,“纵使有一千个理由让你回头,但总有一个让你继续前行。你必须专注于那一个对你来说最重要也最独特的理由。它会强迫你去深入地审视自己,去思考自己的身体和心灵是否足够坚强,能在你想放弃的时候推动你继续向前。”
[难句破解]
句⑤ if引导的是宾语从句,when引导的是时间状语从句。
With the majority of attempts to climb Qomolangma resulting either in total success or failure, is there also a scientific reason behind this risk-taking? Recent studies indicate Psychologist Frank Farley has spent years studying people fast cars, as well as those who climb Qomolangma. He refers to the personalities of these people as “Type T”,with the “T” standing for “thrill”.
[课文对译]
攀登珠峰的大多数尝试要么大获全胜,要么彻底失败,这一冒险行为的背后是否也有科学解释呢?近日有研究指出,冒险可能是人类天性中的一部分,而有些人比其他人更愿意去冒险。心理学家弗兰克·法利曾花费数年时间研究那些高空跳伞、飚车以及攀登珠峰的人。他把那些人的人格特征称作“T型人格”,“T”代表“刺激”。
[难句破解]
句⑥ that引导宾语从句,作indicate的宾语; with ... others是with复合结构作状语,其中又含有比较级。
句⑦ 句中两个who引导的都是定语从句,它们修饰的先行词分别是people和those。
Speaking to the LA Times about the “Type T” personalities, Farley said, “They'll say, ‘I'm not taking risks, I'm an expert ...’ They don't want to die and they don't expect to die.”
Research also suggests that our desire to seek risks can be connected to how much we
With this in mind, are the benefits of climbing Qomolangma worth the risks? It's totally up to you.
[课文对译]
在对《洛杉矶时报》描述“T型人格”时,法利说道:“他们会说‘我并不是在冒险,我是这方面的专家……’。他们并不想死,也不认为自己会死。”
还有的研究表明,我们对于冒险的渴望与我们期待从中获得多少收益有关。
了解这些之后,你认为攀登珠峰带来的好处值得人们去冒险吗?答案完全取决于你自己。

句⑧ that引导宾语从句,作suggests的宾语,该从句中又包含一个how much引导的宾语从句,作be connected to的宾语。
课文2 TWENTY THOUSAND LEAGUES UNDER THE SEA
[海底两万里(改编)]
In 1866, a terrible sea creature is seen by several ships. Biologist Professor Pierre Aronnax and his servant, Conseil, join a ship to find and kill the creature. After a long journey into the Pacific Ocean, the creature is finally seen. Aronnax and Conseil, along with the whale hunter Ned Land, fall into the sea,and discover that the “creature” is actually a submarine. They are captured and taken inside the submarine, where they meet the man in charge, Captain Nemo. Ahead of its time, the submarine is also a secret from the rest of the world. In order to keep this secret, Captain Nemo tells his three newest passengers that they are not permitted to leave the submarine. While Ned Land can think only of escaping, Aronnax and Conseil are fascinated by their adventures in the new underwater world. In this part adapted from a chapter of the book, Aronnax describes the experience of walking on the sea bed ...
[课文对译]
1866年,多艘船只目击到一只可怕的海洋生物。生物学家皮埃尔·阿龙纳斯教授和他的仆人康塞尔乘船出海,准备找到这只生物并消灭它。他们在太平洋上航行了很久,终于找到了这只生物。他们从船上对这只生物展开攻击,结果阿龙纳斯、康塞尔和捕鲸猎人内德·兰德都坠入海中,并且发现所谓的“生物”其实是一艘潜水艇。他们一行人被抓了起来并带到潜水艇内,在那里他们遇见了尼摩船长。这艘潜水艇是一个超越时代的发明,并且一直是一个不为人知的秘密。为了保守这个秘密,尼摩船长告诫他的三位新乘客永远都不能离开这里。尽管内德·兰德一心想要逃离这个地方,但阿龙纳斯与康塞尔已被他们在海底新世界的奇遇深深吸引住了。下文改编自原著的一个章节,阿龙纳斯描述了他们在海底漫步的经历……
[难句破解]
句① While attacking from ...是状语从句While they are attacking from ...的省略形式。
And now, how can I look back upon the impression by that walk under the waters? Words are not enough to relate such wonders! Captain Nemo walked in front, . Conseil and I remained near each other, I no longer felt the weight of my clothes, or of my shoes, of my air supply, or my thick helmet, like a nut in its shell.
[课文对译]
现在,我该如何追述水下漫步给我留下的印象呢?那种奇遇是语言无法描述的!尼摩船长走在前面,他的一个随从紧随其后。我和康塞尔一直挨得很近,近到好像能透过金属外壳听到彼此说话。我已经感觉不到衣服、鞋子、氧气罐和厚重头盔的重量。我的头在头盔中摇来晃去,就像果仁在壳里滚动一般。
[难句破解]
句② left upon me是过去分词短语作the impression的定语。leave an/the impression upon sb.“给某人留下深刻的印象”。
句③ 此处是独立主格结构,分词following的逻辑主语one of his men与主句的主语Captain Nemo不一致。
句④ as if 引导方式状语从句且使用了虚拟语气。
句⑤ inside which ...是“介词+关系代词”引导的定语从句,修饰先行词my thick helmet。
The light, which lit the soil thirty feet below the surface of the ocean, astonished me by its power. The solar rays shone through the watery mass easily,and consumed all colour,and I clearly distinguished objects at a distance of a hundred and fifty yards. Beyond that the colours darkened into fine shades of deep blue, and gradually disappeared. surrounded me was but another air heavier than the Earth's atmosphere, but almost as clear. We were walking on fine, even sand, not wrinkled, as on a flat shore, which keeps the impression of the waves. This dazzling carpet, really a reflector, drove away the rays of the sun with wonderful intensity, which passed through every atom of liquid. Shall I be believed of thirty feet, I could see as if I was in broad daylight?
(Adaptation from Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea by Jules Verne)
[课文对译]
光线照亮了海面以下30英尺的土地,这股力量使我震惊。阳光轻易地穿透水层,并消除了所有的色彩,我能清晰地辨认出150码以内的物体。在这个距离之外,颜色变深,呈现出深蓝色的阴影,逐渐看不到了。真的,环绕在我四周的水仿佛不过是一种气体,比地球的大气更稠密,却几乎一样透明。头顶上是平静的海面,脚下的沙地又细又平,并不像平坦的海滩会随着海浪而褶皱。这块令人目眩的地毯简直是一个反射器,强有力地把阳光反射回去,光线所经之处的每个水分子都因此而振动。如果说在海面以下30英尺的地方,我能像在明亮的日光下一样看得清清楚楚,会有人相信吗?
(节选自《海底两万里》,作者儒勒·凡尔纳)
[难句破解]
句⑥ which surrounded me是which引导的定语从句,修饰先行词water; was but another air运用了比喻修辞手法,but此处强调真实性; heavier than ...为形容词比较结构,第二个but表示转折,as clear也是比较结构,不过其后省略了as the Earth's atmosphere。
句⑦ Above me was ...是完全倒装句,above me是表示方位的介词短语。
句⑧ 第一个which引导非限制性定语从句,指代它前面的主句。第二个which引导限制性定语从句,先行词是the vibration。
句⑨ when引导时间状语从句; that引导宾语从句;as if引导方式状语从句。

Sunday, April 6th Sunny
Today, we got together at the school gate early in the morning. Our teacher Miss Wang with all students in my class went for a field trip soon by bike. We wore helmets for safety. We had a lot of activities such as boating, going climbing, having a picnic at the top of the hill. We also took a lot of photos. How happy we felt! On the way home, Li Gang rode so fast that he accidentally hit a tree. Luckily, he didn't hurt too badly. Miss Wang gave him first aid. All in all, it was really an unforgettable experience.
(二)单元主题优美语段背诵
语段1 野外迷路
“Stop and think,” I told myself, picturing the map again. To get to Giant Rock we had turned left onto the purple trail. To get back, I needed to do the opposite and turn right onto the red one. I struggled forward in the faint light. Then I noticed the stone wall. This had to be right. I went downhill in giant steps, and then I saw my family! I shouted as I ran toward them. “Honey? Are you OK?” Dad's voice was urgent. It seemed I had been lost for ages, and all I wanted now was a bear hug from Dad.
“停下来想想,”我对自己说,再一次在脑海中勾勒路线图。为了到达巨岩,我们向左拐进了那条紫色的小路。要想回去,我需要反着走,右转到红色的那条路。我在微弱的光线下挣扎着向前走。然后我注意到了石墙。这肯定是对的。我迈着大大的步伐下山去,然后我看到了我的家人!我一边喊一边朝他们跑去。“亲爱的?你还好吗?”爸爸的声音很急促。我似乎迷失了很久,现在我只想要爸爸的一个熊抱。
语段2 海上遇险
Soon after they set out, they were hit by a storm.The storm blew them off course, so they lost their ability to find their location at sea and ended up off the coast.The two were optimistic about their unplanned adventure.Rather than be upset and anxious, they enjoyed the potentially life-threatening journey at sea.They survived by eating oranges they had bought for their journey and coconuts floating in the sea.A fisherman first noticed their boat and then the local government managed to rescue them.
他们出发后不久,就遭遇了暴风雨。暴风雨使他们偏离了航线,因此他们失去了在海上找到自己位置的能力,最终离开了海岸。两人对他们计划外的冒险感到乐观。他们没有感到沮丧和焦虑,而是享受了这次可能危及生命的海上之旅。他们靠为旅途买的橘子和漂浮在海上的椰子生存下来。一个渔民首先注意到了他们的船,然后当地政府设法营救了他们。

时尚悦读 探秘澳大利亚

Next week I'm travelling to Australia to visit a friend there over the school holidays. I plan to keep this blog I have already done some research on the country. Located to the south of the equator, below many other countries on the globe, it's often informally referred to as “down under”.
I have also read about some iconic sites, such as the Sydney Opera House and the Great Ocean Road, and animals like the cute koalas and kangaroos. I can't wait to see all of them! However, as I major in social studies, I'm more interested in meeting people in Australia and experiencing their culture, food, and way of life.
1 Oct
I'm here in Sydney! Since I arrived, my friend has brought me to my first open-air barbecue and has also shared many different but yummy meals with me, so my first impressions of Australia have been all about food! A lot of typical Australian food, such as the Sunday roast, is originally British. Bakeries, fast-food joints, butcher shops, cafes, and restaurants everywhere provide some of the premier food experiences in the world. The influence of Asian cultures, on the other hand, led to the introduction of bean curd and Asian herbs, along with Australian versions of foods like the Chinese-inspired dim sim.

My friend and I have arrived in Katherine, a town in Australia's Northern Territory. We're here to learn about the life and customs of the Aborigines, who are native to Australia. The Aboriginal population might be small, but its influence is still visible. For example, “Bondi” in “Bondi Beach” is an Aboriginal word meaning “water breaking over rocks”.
To survive in this vast land on the ocean, the Aborigines had to be in close contact with nature. This shows in their music, too, which celebrates the natural world and the spiritual world around them. Most of their musical instruments are really just sticks found on the ground,
The didgeridoo is made from a tree branch which is hollow. To play the didgeridoo, you put your mouth on one end and blow while vibrating your lips. Unlike a horn, there are no finger holes. The didgeridoo player has to change the shape of his mouth in order to change pitch. A skilled player can play for a long time without stopping to breathe. He does this by continually breathing in through his nose while breathing out through his mouth and into the didgeridoo. I tried to learn how to play it, but after trying for hours, I was convinced that I could never make a musical sound with this instrument!

It's almost time for me to say goodbye to Australia. I've enjoyed my time here very much. After being here for a while, my biggest impression is the complicated mix of peoples and cultures that make up the nation. Although the main cultural influence since 1788 has been Western culture, minority cultures have also played a part in shaping the unique Australian culture, with many of the new cultural influences contributed by immigrants. It is said that now nearly half of all Australian
Personally speaking, what I like most about Australia is the people themselves. They have a straightforward and free-and-easy attitude towards life, and their friendliness and warmth made me feel at home wherever I went.
After experiencing Australia, I have to say that I agree with the tourism slogan: “There's nothing like Australia.”

趁学校放假,我打算下周去澳大利亚看望那里的一位朋友。我计划用这个博客记录我的所见所闻。我对澳大利亚做了一番研究。它位于赤道以南,在地球上许多其他国家的下方,常被非正式地称为“down under”。
我也看了一些标志性景点的介绍,比如悉尼歌剧院和大洋路,还有可爱的考拉和袋鼠等动物的资料。我迫不及待想见到所有这一切!不过,因为我主修社会研究,所以我对结识澳大利亚人并体验他们的文化、饮食和生活方式更感兴趣。
10月1日
我在悉尼啦!自我来这儿之后,朋友就带着我去吃了这辈子第一次的露天烧烤,还和我分享了许多风格各异的美味佳肴,所以我对澳大利亚的第一印象就是美食!很多澳大利亚的特色美食都源自英国,比如星期日烤肉。随处可见的面包店、快餐连锁店、肉店、咖啡馆和餐馆提供世界顶级的美食体验。另一方面,在亚洲文化的影响下,除了灵感源自中国的点心等澳大利亚版的食物以外,还引入了豆腐和亚洲药草。
10月3日
我和朋友来到了澳大利亚北领地的凯瑟琳小镇。我们此行的目的是了解土著人的生活和习俗,他们是澳大利亚的原住民。土著人的人口可能很少,但其影响依旧可见。例如,“邦迪海滩”中的“邦迪”就是一个土著词汇,意思是“拍打着岩石的海浪(声)”。
为了在大洋中这片辽阔的土地上生存,澳大利亚土著人得和大自然保持密切的联系。这也体现在他们的音乐中。这些音乐歌颂身边的自然世界,以及围绕着他们的精神世界。他们的大多数乐器其实就是在地上找到的树枝,其中有一种叫作迪吉里杜管的神奇乐器。
迪吉里杜管由空心的树干制成。吹奏迪吉里杜管时,把嘴巴靠在一端,一边吹气,一边振动嘴唇。与喇叭不同,迪吉里杜管没有指孔。吹奏迪吉里杜管必须靠改变嘴形才能改变音高。一名娴熟的演奏者可以长时间吹奏,不用停下来换气。演奏者可以不停地用鼻子吸气,同时通过嘴巴吐气,吹入迪吉里杜管中。我试着学习吹奏方法,但经过好几个小时的努力,我只能确信我永远都无法用这个乐器发出乐声!
10月6日
差不多是我跟澳大利亚说再见的时候了。我在这里过得十分愉快。在这里住了一段时间之后,我最深刻的印象就是不同种族和文化的交融构成了这个国家。尽管自1788年以来,主要的文化影响是西方文化,但少数族裔文化在塑造独特的澳大利亚文化方面也发挥了作用,还有许多随着移民而来的新文化的影响。据说现在近一半的澳大利亚公民要么自己出生于海外,要么父母出生于海外。
对我个人来说,澳大利亚让我最喜欢的就是这里的人民。他们对待生活的态度简单直率、随性洒脱,他们的友善和热情让我无论走到哪里都有宾至如归的感觉。
在游历了澳大利亚之后,我得说我十分赞同他们的旅游口号:“澳大利亚,尽是不同。”
