高中英语晨读小练素材 Every minute counts. 晨读小练64：选择性必修四 Unit 1 Using Language 课文翻译及语法填空 THE TIME MACHINE (Adapted) 时光机（改编） Paragraph 1 It was at ten o'clock today that the first of all Time Machines began its career. I gave it a last check, and sat myself in the leather seat. I pushed the starting lever on the main panel forwards an inch then immediately backwards again. Looking around, I saw my laboratory exactly as before. Had anything happened? I thought my mind had tricked me. Then I saw the clock. A moment before, it was a minute or so past ten; now it was nearly half past three! 今天十点钟，第一台时光机开始了它的旅程。我最后检查了它一遍，并坐在真皮座椅上。我将主面板上的启动杆向前推了一英寸，然后又立即向后推。环顾四周，我看到我的实验室和以前一模一样。发生什么事了吗？我以为我的思想欺骗了我。然后我看到了钟。刚才是十点一分左右，现在快三点半了！ 【重点必背】 It was at ten o'clock today that（强调句型）正是在今天十点钟 lever n. 操纵杆；杠杆 panel n. 控制板；仪表盘；专家咨询组 trick vt.欺骗 Paragraph 2 I drew a breath, gripped the lever and pushed it forwards. The laboratory went hazy around me. My niece came in to fetch something, maybe her handkerchief, apparently without seeing me. It probably took her a minute, but to me she moved like a rocket! I pushed the lever further. Night came as if a lamp was being turned out, and in another moment came the day. Tomorrow night came, then skipped to day, again and again, faster and faster still. 我吸了一口气，握紧杠杆，把它往前推。实验室在我周围变得模糊不清。我侄女进来拿东西，也许是她的手帕，显然没有看见我。她可能花了一分钟，但对我来说她像火箭一样移动！我把操纵杆推得更远。夜幕降临，仿佛一盏灯熄灭了，又过了一会儿，白昼降临了。明晚来了，又跳到白天，一次又一次，越来越快。 【重点必背】 grip vt.&vi. 紧握；抓紧 hazy adj. 模糊的；朦胧的；困惑的 fetch vt.（去）拿来；（去）请来 handkerchief n. 手帕；纸巾 Paragraph 3 It is hard to explain the strange and unpleasant feeling of time travelling. It felt like I was being driven fast on a winding road. As my pace grew faster, the walls of the laboratory fell away, and I was left in the open air. The sun and moon looked as if they were being thrown across the sky, but soon there was division between night and day. Around me I saw trees growing like puffs of smoke; they grew, spread, and died in moments. I saw huge buildings rise up, then disappear like in a dream. The whole surface of the earth was being changed, melting and flowing before my eyes. I calculated that I was being pushed through time at hundreds of years a minute. 很难解释时间旅行的奇怪和不愉快的感觉。感觉我在一条蜿蜒的路上开得很快。随着我的步子加快，实验室的墙壁也倒塌了，我被留在了户外。太阳和月亮看起来像是被抛向天空，但很快就有了白天和黑夜的分界。在我周围，我看到树木像一股烟一样生长；它们生长，蔓延，瞬间死亡。我看见巨大的建筑物拔地而起，然后像梦一样消失了。整个地球表面都在改变，在我眼前融化流动。我算了一下，我是以每分钟几百年的速度被时间推过去的。 【重点必背】 pace n. 速度；步伐；节奏 vt.&vi. 确定速度；调整节奏 division n. 分开；分隔；差异；除(法)→ divide v. 分开；分散；分配；分享 calculate vt. 计算；核算；预测→ calculator n. 计算器 → calculation n. 计算 Paragraph 4 I had a strong urge to look at the random things that were being flashed before my eyes! I had thought about the risk of stopping the Time Machine many times. So long as I travelled at maximum speed, it didn't matter. But if I stopped and the same space was being occupied by something else, we would be forced together and explode like a bomb! Like an impatient fool, I pulled the lever backwards hard. With a sudden jolt, the Time Machine was flipped on its side, and I was thrown through the air. 我有一种强烈的冲动，想看看眼前闪现的那些随机的东西！我曾多次考虑过停止时光机的风险。只要我以最快的速度行驶，那没关系。但是如果我停下来，同一个空间被别的东西占据了，我们就会被迫在一起，像炸弹一样爆炸！像一个不耐烦的傻瓜，我使劲向后拉操纵杆。随着一个突然的震动，时间机器被翻转过来，我被抛向空中。 【重点必背】 urge n. 强烈的欲望；冲动 vt. 催促；力劝；大力推荐→ urgent adj. 紧急的；急迫的 random adj. 随机的；不可思议的 maximum adj. 最大极限的 n. 最大量；最大限度 explode vi.&vt. 爆炸；爆破→ explosion n. 爆炸；(感情)爆发；激增 jolt n. 震动；摇晃；颠簸 vt.&vi.（使）震动；摇晃 Paragraph 5 I was stunned for a moment, and then heard the sound of thunder. I was sitting in the rain in some mud next to the machine. "A fine welcome," I said, "for a man who has travelled thousands of years to be here!" 我惊呆了一会儿，然后听到了雷声。我在雨中坐在机器旁边的泥地里。"这是一个很好的欢迎，"我说，"对于一个旅行了几千年才来到这里的人来说！" 【重点必背】 stun vt. 使震惊；使昏迷 mud n. 泥；泥浆→ muddy adj. 泥泞的 【重点短语】 1.test out 　　 检验；测试 2.more like 更像是；更接近 3.on a ...basis 根据；以……的方式(基准) 4.pros and cons 事物的利与弊；支持与反对 5.superior to 比……更好；更胜一筹 6.take over 占上风；取而代之；接管；接手 7.conflict with 与……冲突或抵触 8.turn out 关掉；熄灭；在场；使朝外；结果是 9.fall away (逐渐)减少；消失 10.have an urge to 有强烈的欲望做某事 【课文词块】 1.on a business trip 出公差 2.feel alarmed 感到害怕 3.feel embarrassed 感到尴尬 4.admire his wisdom and integrity　　欣赏他的智慧和正直 5.treat her with dignity 有尊严地对待她 6.social position 社会地位 7.a bigger salary 更高的薪水 8.or rather 更准确地说，更确切地说 9.with wonder 惊奇地 10.accompany her to the shop　　陪同她去商店 11.sit myself in the leather seat　　我坐在皮椅上 12.draw a breath 吸一口气 13.at maximum speed 以最高的速度 【单元话题作文】 (2024·湖南省名校大联考质量检测)假定你是李华，你校将在本周六上午邀请著名航天员Mr.Yang来作一场报告。请根据下面的要点提示，给喜欢太空探索的留学生朋友Chris写一封电子邮件，邀请他参加。要点如下：1.写邮件的目的；2.报告简介；3.你的期待。 Dear Chris， I am writing to invite you to attend an inspiring lecture about space exploration to be given by Mr.Yang，who is a famous astronaut，at 9 o'clock this Saturday morning.
