高中英语晨读小练素材 Every minute counts. 晨读小练46：选择性必修二 Unit 2 Using Language 课文翻译及语法填空 STUDYING ABROAD: IS IT A GOOD OR A BAD IDEA? 留学：好主意，还是坏主意？ Letter 1 – Wang Li（第一封信） Paragraph 1 In the past few decades, there has been a dramatic increase in the number of people studying abroad. Although studying abroad can bring great benefits, I think the disadvantages for young people are greater. 过去几十年里，留学人数急剧增长。尽管留学大有裨益，但我认为，留学对年轻人来说是弊大于利。 【重点必背】dramatic adj. 巨大的；突然的；急剧的；戏剧(般)的→ dramatically adv. 突然地；戏剧地；引人注目地 Paragraph 2 To begin with, many students who study abroad face great economic pressure. That means studying abroad is just not possible for everyone. Tuition fees and living expenses are much more expensive than at home and could end up costing most families an arm and a leg. Studying in China is much more convenient and can help save money. 首先，许多留学生面临着巨大的经济压力，这意味着并非每个人都有留学的可能。国外的学费和生活开销比国内昂贵得多，大部分家庭最终可能要花费一大笔钱。而在中国读书则更加方便，还能省钱。 【重点必背】 expense n. 费用；花费；开销 end up最终 cost an arm and a leg（使）花一大笔钱 Paragraph 3 Another important factor to consider is the tremendous pressure that comes with studying abroad. Students must learn how to live in an unfamiliar environment with limited language skills. Some may struggle and suffer from culture shock when learning how to behave in new surroundings. Other students are not mature enough to handle the challenges by themselves and may become depressed. Some students might even encounter problems with personal safety. In addition, different approaches to teaching and learning may come as a shock to many students. 需要考虑的另一个重要因素是留学所带来的巨大压力。学生必须学会靠有限的语言技能在一个陌生的环境中生活。在学习如何在新环境中举止得体时，有些学生可能会感到吃力，并承受文化冲击的折磨，另一些学生则还不够成熟，无法独立应付各种挑战，因而感到苦闷。有些学生甚至会遭遇人身安全问题。此外，不同的教和学的方式对很多学生来说也是一种冲击。 【重点必背】 tremendous adj. 巨大的；极大的 suffer from遭受；因……而受苦 behave vt. 表现 vi.&vt. 表现得体；有礼貌 → behaviour/behavior n. 行为；举止 mature adj. 成熟的 depressed adj. 沮丧的；意志消沉的 → depress vt. 使沮丧；使忧愁 → depression n. 沮丧；抑郁 Paragraph 4 A final point to consider is that while studying abroad does have potential benefits, young people who study in China also have a great future to look forward to! As China has boomed, the educational environment has improved significantly, with many great universities now available. They have great facilities and outstanding professors, helping to educate young people who will contribute to the economy and further strengthen our country. 最后要考虑的一点是：尽管留学有诸多潜在的益处，但是在中国读书的年轻人同样未来可期！随着中国的蓬勃发展，教育环境已大为改观，优质大学比比皆是。这些高校拥有一流的设施和杰出的教授，助力培养为经济作贡献、进一步增强我国实力的年轻人。 【重点必背】 boom vi.&n. 迅速发展；繁荣 contribute to有助于；导致 strengthen vi.&vt. 加强；增强；巩固→ strong adj. 强壮的 → strength n. 体力；优点 Paragraph 5 To sum up, one cannot deny the fact that studying abroad has its disadvantages, so when you think about studying abroad you should consider these many factors. 综上所述，我们无法否认的事实是：留学有其弊端。因此当你想要海外求学时，应当考虑上述诸多因素。 【重点必背】deny vt. 否认；否定；拒绝 Letter 2 – Zhang Yi（第二封信） Paragraph 1 Is studying abroad a good idea or not? There are certainly disadvantages, but in my opinion, the advantages are much greater. As I always tell my son, there are no great difficulties for a person who is brave, optimistic, and willing to work hard! 留学是个好主意还是坏主意呢？留学当然有其弊端，但我认为利大于弊。我时常告诫我儿子，对勇敢、乐观、愿意拼搏的人来说，世上无难事！ 【重点必背】optimistic adj. 乐观的→ optimism n. 乐观主义 Paragraph 2 The first advantage of studying abroad is personal growth. The education you gain and the experiences you have will change you for the better. For example, you will certainly become more independent because you will have to deal with all kinds of difficulties by yourself. Studying abroad also helps you to gain a global perspective and improve your general competence. 留学的第一个好处就是个人成长。你获得的教育和拥有的经历将有助于你提升自我。例如，由于你需要独自应对各种困难，你一定会变得更加独立。留学还有助于你获得全球视野，提升综合能力。 【重点必背】 gain vt. 获得；赢得；取得；增加 n. 好处；增加 for the better—— 向着更好的方向 gain a global perspective—— 获得全球视野 competence n. 能力；胜任；本领 → competent adj. 有能力的；称职的 Paragraph 3 Another advantage is the increased chance for cultural exchange. Chinese students can be seen as cultural envoys promoting friendship between nations. International students in China also bring their colourful cultures here. Cooperating with people from diverse cultural backgrounds helps us view the world from different angles and thus gives us more insight into our own culture. 留学的另一个好处是获得更多文化交流的机会。中国留学生可被视为增进国际友谊的文化使者。在华的外国留学生也带来他们丰富多彩的文化。与来自不同文化背景的人合作有助于我们从不同视角看待世界，进而让我们对自己的文化有更深入的了解。 【重点必背】 envoy n. 使者；使节；代表 cooperate with与……合作→ cooperation n. 合作；协作 angle n. 角；角度；立场 insight n. 洞察力；眼光 【课文佳句】Cooperating with people from diverse cultural backgrounds helps us view the world from different angles and thus gives us more insight into our own culture.（动名词作主语） 与来自不同文化背景的人合作有助于我们从不同的视角看待世界，进而让我们对自己的文化有更深的了解。 Paragraph 4 Finally, studying abroad provides a great opportunity to contribute to the development of our motherland. China's global outlook, with projects such as the Belt and Road Initiative, has helped us make connections across the world. Therefore, China needs more talented young people with a global perspective who are highly competent in languages, have leadership and organisational skills, and have strong cultural awareness. Students who study abroad will develop such skills and abilities, and these in turn will provide them with better career opportunities. 最后，留学是为祖国的发展作出贡献的好机会。中国"一带一路"倡议等项目的全球前景帮助我们与世界建立联系。因此，中国需要更多有才能、有国际视野、语言能力极强、具有领导力和组织能力、拥有强烈文化意识的年轻人。海外求学的学生能够培养这类技能，而这些技能反过来又将为他们带来更好的就业机会。 【重点必背】contribute to有助于；导致 outlook n. 前景；可能性；观点 initiative n. 倡议；新方案 Paragraph 5 All in all, studying abroad helps to build character and increase people's understanding of cultural diversity while strengthening China and building a shared future for all. I think this life-changing experience is certainly worthwhile and I hope my child will study abroad in the future. 总而言之，出国留学有助于塑造人格，增加人们对文化多样性的了解，同时增强中国的实力，为大家打造一个共同的未来。我觉得这段改变人生的经历肯定是值得的，我希望孩子将来能出国留学。 【重点必背】strengthen vi.&vt. 加强；增强；巩固 worthwhile adj. 值得做的；值得花时间的 【重点短语】 1.participate in参加；参与 2.speak up 大声点说；明确表态 3.feel at home 舒服自在；不拘束 4.engage in (使)从事；参与 5.get involved in 参与；卷入；与……有关联 6.comfort zone 舒适区；舒适范围 7.cost an arm and a leg (使)花一大笔钱 8.side with 支持；站在……的一边 9.as far as I know 据我所知 10.as far as I am concerned 就我而言；依我看来 11.in summary 总的来说；总之 12.generally speaking 一般来说 【课文词块】 1.say goodbye to her family and friends　　告别她的家人和朋友 2.board a plane for London 登上去伦敦的飞机 3.a year­long exchange programme　　为期一年的交流项目 4.set up a business 创办企业 5.get used to a whole new life　　适应全新的生活 6.live with a host family 和寄宿家庭一起生活 7.be keen to learn about China 渴望了解中国 8.academic requirements 学术要求 9.cite their ideas 引用他们的观点 10.boost my confidence 提升我的信心 11.build a bridge between us 在我们之间建立一座桥梁 12.wish her all the best 祝她一切顺利 13.face great economic pressure 面临巨大的经济压力 14.suffer from culture shock 遭受文化冲击 15.encounter problems with personal safety　　遇到个人安全问题 16.improve your general competence　　提高你的综合能力 17.cooperate with people from diverse cultural backgrounds 与来自不同文化背景的人合作 【单元话题作文】 (2024·湖北省名校联考高三模拟)假定你是学校英语报的负责人李华，计划在报刊上新增校园之星栏目。请给外籍教师Jennifer写一封电子邮件。内容包括：1.新增栏目的意义和内容；2.征询老师意见。 Dear Jennifer， I'm writing to ask for your advice on something about our school English newspaper.
