A OTTAWA — Canada’s western city of Calgary is the world’s best city when it comes to healthy living, local press reported Monday.According to an international survey by Mercer Human Resource Consulting, a London-based consulting firm, Calgary was put at the top of a list of 144 cities.It scored 121 points, just above Honolulu’s score of 120.Helsinki（赫尔辛基，芬兰首都）and Ottawa followed at 119.5 and 118.5 respectively.Three other Canadian cities came in the top 20.Montreal and Vancouver tied for ninth and Toronto came in at 18th.The scores are based on air pollution levels, availability and quality of hospitals and medical supplies, as well as the efficiency of waste removal and sewage systems.3

In America, the lowest scoring city was Atlanta, which was ranked 76th.Athens was the lowest scoring city in Western Europe, ranking 120th because of its air pollution.London was ranked 59th.1.How many Canadian cities are in the top 20? A.3.B.4.C.5.D.6.2.Which of the following is NOT taken into account when the cities were scored? A.Weather conditions.B.Air quality.C.Waste removal.D.Medical supplies.3.Among the following cities, which is the lowest scoring one? A.Atlanta.B.Athens.C.London.D.Helsinki.B Canada is one of the few nations in the world that have two official languages：English and French.There are 10 provinces in the country but only one of these—Quebec is known as “French Canada”.This is because it was founded by French explorers while British adventurers discovered the rest.Canada left the British empire in 1867 to become an independent country，and English and French have become the official languages ever since.Most people speak English as their first language and the two national television networks broadcast in English throughout the country.Apart from in Quebec and a few places on the east coast，French television is very rare.The same goes for traffic signs and menus，for example，outside of Quebec，there are only a few places where you’ll see traffic signs in French.In restaurants，it’s almost impossible to find French on the menu unless you are in the heartland of French Canada.However，it is claimed by law thay all products sold in Canada must have labels and instructions in both languages.In Canada’s English speaking provinces，official bilingualism(双语)means that students can choose to complete a special French language course.Under this programme，they are taught most of their subjects in French.If a student begins the course in kindergarten or Grade One，it is likely that all their lessons will be in French.However，if they start at junior high school，25 percent of the teaching will continue to be in English.4.How many provinces are there in Canada? A.Ten.B.Nine.C.Eleven.D.Two.5.Which country controlled Canada before its independence? A.France.B.Britain.C.America.D.Germany.6.Where can you watch French television programmes? A.Only in Quebec.B.In Quebec and a few other places.C.From the two national television networks.D.All over Canada.7.What about the education in Canada? A.In English speaking provinces only English courses are offered there.B.If you choose a special French language course，most of the subjects are taught in French.C.The courses in primary school are all taught in English.D.Most of the courses in junior high schools are taught in English.8.Which of the following sentences is right? A.English is the only official language，though French is also spoken there.B.The two national television networks broadcast both in English and French.C.All products sold in Canada must，by law，have labels and instructions in both English and French.D.The lessons in kindergarten or Grade One are likely to be only in English.第2课时reading 5 基础练习

A Everyone wants to travel.But those who cannot do so themselves might find it interesting to work in a travel agency，arranging journeys for other people.Brian Lawtey does this，working in a small travel agency in a big city.Most of his work is concerned with holiday，both at home and abroad.Every autumn，the agency sends out hundreds of booklets(小册子)full of attractive，colored photographs，describing the holidays that their customers will be able to have the next year.Soon，people begin to come into the office to book their holidays：perhaps a week’s skiing in Austria in January，perhaps a cruise(巡游)to the Caribbean in February，perhaps a seaside holiday in Spain in May，or a tour of Africa.Brian often has to advise people on what holidays will be suitable for them，and they always have a lot of questions.Last year，for example，a lady of eighty-two wanted to book for a mountaineering(爬山)holiday in the Alps，and Brian had great C.things

D.habits 5 difficulty in persuading her that it would not be suitable.In the end，she decided to go for a Mediterranean cruise instead.Arranging journeys for people who have to travel abroad on business is often very complicated，but Brian enjoys this work.For example，last spring Mr.Perry，a director of a chemical firm，went on a business trip，and Brian arranged it all for him.First，Mr.Perry traveled to London by train，and stayed overnight in a hotel near the airport，because his plane left early the next morning.He flew to Frankfurt in Germany，where he spent the morning discussing business.Then he went on by train to Zurich，where he stayed the night.After a meeting the next morning，he caught a plane for Tokyo，and spent three days there before going to America.He had business in Seattle，Chicago and New York，and stayed some time in each of those places.From New York，he flew back to London，and then got home by train.The next day he telephoned the agency to thank Brian for arranging everything so well for him.1.Who would like to work in a travel agency? A.People who go on holidays abroad.B.People who would like to travel but cannot.C.people who enjoy travelling.D.People who live in a big city 2.When do the customers come into the office to book their holidays? A.Early in the morning.B.Every year.C.In January.D.Shortly after receiving the booklet.3.Those who cannot travel themselves might find it interesting to work in a travel agency_________ A.describing the holidays for other people B.arranging trips for themselves C.booking trips for other people D.arranging trips for other people 4.Mr.Perry telephoned the agency to thank Brian because ___________.A.Mr.Perry arranged everything so well for Brian B.Brian arranged everything so well for Mr.Perry C.the agency sent Mr.Perry abroad on business D.Brain helped him in the travel agency 5.How did Brian arrange Mr.Perry’s journey? a.To fly to Tokyo.b.To Frankfurt by plane.c.Back home by train.d.Fly back to London.e.To Zurich by train.f.Have business in Seattle，Chicago and New York.g.To London by train.A.g，b，a，f，e，d，c B.c，g，a，b，e，f，d C.g，b，e，a，f，d，c D.f，e，a，b，g，c，d

第三篇：高中英语必修3教学工作计划

2011—2012学第一学期

教学工作计划

本学期本人任高二(5)、(6)班的英语教学工作。在本学

期的高二英语教学工作中，要以学校工作计划为指导思想，以培养学生自主学习和自主管理能力为主线，全面贯彻落实新课程改革的精神，针对我校高一新生普遍英语底子差，基础薄的实际，坚持“夯实基础，狠抓双基，改进学法，激发兴趣，提高能力”，特制定本期教学工作计划。

一、教学理念

1、要面向全体学生，关注每个学生的情感，激发他们

学习英语的兴趣，帮助他们建立学习的成就感和自信心，使他们在学习过程中发展综合语言运用能力，提高人文素养，增强实践能力，培养创新精神;

2、突出学生主体，尊重个体差异，让学生在老师的指

导下构建知识，提高技能，磨练意志，活跃思维，展现个性，发展心智和拓展视野;

3、让学生在使用英语中学习英语，让学生成为Good

User而不仅仅是Learner。让英语成为学生学习生活中最实用的工具而非累赘，让他们在使用和学习英语的过程中，体味到轻松和成功的快乐。高二英语既注重基础知识的考查，又强调能力的灵活运用。为了适应这一趋势，提高高二英语的教学质量，在高二英语教学中我将常抓基础知识，有梯度 1

地拓宽词汇，提高课堂效率，从而努力提高学生学习的自觉性、主动性与积极性，通过师生互动，更进一步提高英语成绩。

二、学生分析

从学生高一期末考试情况来看，这两个班学生存在以下三方面问题：在思想上、态度上放松或放弃的现象有所表露，读,不会读，就谈不上听得懂,看得懂,从而导致破罐子破摔的现象。基础知识不够扎实，灵活运用语言的技能相对薄弱。运用能力不够强实。学生的阅读能力、理解能力、分析能力、判断能力、应变能力等均不能较好地适应考查要求。语言学习的关键在于语言知识的积累，只有通过学习者亲身的体验和摸索，才能学会并掌握语言知识，从而达到在交际中灵活使用语言的目的。

三、教材分析

该册教材从不同方面具有如下特点：

1、内容丰富，涉及面广。本册教材的课文篇幅长、题材广，内容丰富，不但是一个综合知识的大熔炉，而且时代气息逼人，很具有挑战性。学生不但可以学到真实的英语语言，而且可以学到广泛的综合知识，训练全面的英语语言技能。说句实在话这套新教材对我们英语任课教师无论从语言知识而是语言技能上都展开了挑战。

2、词汇量大，语言地道。由于所选文章涉及的领域多，又是原汁原味，因此，各方面的词汇都出现了。又由于沿用地道的原文，不同作者用词不同，出现了大量的近义词。虽然这给学生提供了学习英语的真实语言环境，但也增加了学生学习英语的难度。

3、精心编排，形式新颖。教材编排的匠心不但体现在课文内容的精心选编和课型的优化设计。特别突出的是教材的各种练习形式新颖别致，不但注重知识性，而且充分注入了趣味性。也充分发挥了现代教育技术在英语学习中的先进作用。

4、理念先进，实践标准。该册教材把综合语言运用能力的形成建立在语言技能、语言知识、情感态度、学习策略和文化意识等素养整合发展的基础上。也把语言技能的形成作为语言学习的必须手段。完全实践了《普通高中英语课程标准》的新理念。

四、本学期的教学目标及措施

高二年级是高中的重要阶段，又是高中三年的承上启下阶段。因此，让学生在高二年级打好学科基础并有所发展是极其重要的。下列目标应在本学期内达到：巩固、扩大基础知识;培养口头和书面初步运用英语进行交际的能力，侧重培养阅读能力;发展智力，培养自学能力。争取在原有基础上有所提高，缩小与上学期期末考试时平均分排在我们前面的几个理科班的差距。根据教学步骤完成模块5及模块6的教学内容，根据学生的实际情况对教材练习适当做出调整，删减。让复杂问题简单化，使学生更容易掌握所学知识。加大学生的阅读量。提高阅读速度。

此外，在本学期高二英语教学计划中，要狠抓基础及单词、句型及语法等，扎实基础知识，突击写作训练，为高考打下扎实的基础。具体方法如下：

1、钻研并创造性地利用教材，灵活使用，发挥教材特点。

2、内容要求学生一定要过词汇关，反复朗读、默写单词、以便加强学生对基础知识的掌握。摒弃不切实际的教学步骤，抓重点，搞强化，在日常教学中渗透语法意识。利用教材提高学生的基本功，坚持默写单词及重点句型。

3、本学期仍要坚持训练学生的听力和并开展任务型写作教学。扎实写作常用句型的同时，要求向句群篇章背诵过渡，培养良好的学习习惯和写作基础。

4、培养学生的阅读能力，并以这些材料为基础，扩充学生词汇量，做到每学完一篇课文，就进行词汇检测。拓宽教材，扩展学生阅读量，努力补充学生的词汇。在平时教学过程中不断扩大学生的词汇量，词汇教学以新带旧，从而达到巩固扩充词汇的目的，做到经常督促、检测。

5、加大基础写作训练的力度，大力鼓励学生学以致用。并要求学生背范文、教师精选的课文段落、写作必背句型，使学生熟悉英语的句式结构及习惯用法，从句到篇，从而写出完整的英语文章。另外每周进行一篇的写作训练，鼓励运用背过的句型，提高学生的写作能力。

6、综合检查。准备每一单元做一次练习，主要以结合当前教学内容为主要测试内容, 间或分块测试，习题的训练在于精而不在于多。在教学中尽量按照高考的知识体系有针对性地选择典型性题目。针对共性问题进行精讲，让学生在书本中找到解决问题的源泉，学会思考、整理和归纳。

综上所述，高二年级的教学工作是非常关键的，我会尽职尽责完成本职工作，再接再励，取得更好的成绩。、

易仁荣特级教师工作室：

国家级课题“英语模块教学法”正式开题

4月10日下午，国家级课题“英语模块教学法提高教学效率研究”在北京市第八十中学正式开题。该课题是由国家基础教育中心外语实验中心批准的2009－2010资助金项目，本北京市仅此课题获批。

“英语模块教学法”（english modular approach）是由特级教师、全国优秀教师易仁荣老师历经十年探索出的一种新的英语教学方法。该方法以“模块”(module)为原理，以辩证法和系统论为理论指导，把复杂的英语语法、3500个英语单词和英语听说读写等语用能力的培养优化为若干个教学模块，模块的内容既相对独立，又相互衔接。“英语模块教学法”使英语教学内容板块化、简单化，系统化，既节省英语教学时间，减轻师生教学负担，又能提高英语教学效率。教育部主管的国家级核心刊物《中小学英语教学与研究》、《课程 教材 教法》等先后发表了易仁荣老师的系列论文，北京教育出版社出版了易仁荣老师编著的《高中英语语法7天会》、《高中英语写作7天会》、《高中英语词汇7周会》等5 本专著，颇受读者欢迎。

教育部英语课程标准组专家鲁子问教授、朝阳分院副院长夏秋荣、教研中心教研员朱丽萍、八十中学校长田树林等分别在开题会上对“英语模块教学法”给予高度评价，并希望课题组认真做好此课题的扩大实验和推广工作。朝阳区教委特级教师工作室管理办公室王雪梅老师、易仁荣工作室核心成员以及八十中学、日坛中学、九十四中学部分英语老师也出席了开题会。

2.必修三Unit 1 A SAD LOVE STORY一段伤心的爱情故事 Li Fang was heart-broken.李方的心都碎了。It was Valentine’s Day and Hu Jin had said she would meet him at the coffee shop after work.这天是情人节，胡瑾说她下班后会在咖啡馆和他见面的。But she didn’t turn up.可现在她却不见人影。She could be with her friends right now laughing at him.也许她这会儿跟朋友在一起，正在取笑他呢。She said she would be there at seven o’clock, and he thought she would keep her word.她说她会在7点到达，他(李方)认为她会守信用的。He had looked forward to meeting her all day, and now he was alone with his roses and chocolates, like a fool.他一整天都期盼着见到她，而现在他拿着玫瑰花和巧克力独自一人守候着，像个傻瓜一样。Well, he was not going to hold his breath for her to apologize.他不想屏息等她来道歉，He would drown his sadness in coffee.他要用咖啡来解愁。

It was obvious that the manager of the coffee shop was waiting for Li Fang to leave-he wiped the tables, then sat down and turned on the TV-just what Li Fang needed!很明显，咖啡馆里的经理在等李方离开一一他擦好桌子，然后坐下来，打开电视机。这正合了李方的意！A sad Chinese story about lost love.正在播出的是流传在中国的一个悲伤的爱情故事。

The announcer said,” This is the story of Qiqiao Festival.主持人说道：“这就是乞巧节的故事。When foreigners hear about the story, they call it a Chinese Valentine’s story.外国朋友听到这个故事就将它称作中国的情人节。It’s a fine day today, so I hope you can all meet the one you love.” 今天天气晴朗，我希望你们都能见到所爱的人。”

As Li Fang set off for home, he thought,” I guess Hu Jin doesn’t love me.I’ll just throw these flowers and chocolates away.I don’t want them to remind me of her.” 李方动身往家走，心里想：“我想胡瑾是不爱我了，把这些鲜花和巧克力都扔了吧。我不想因它们想起她来。” So he did.于是他把花和巧克力都扔了。

I’ve been waiting for you for a long time!And I have a gift for you!” 那是胡瑾在向他招手，她喊道：“你为什么这么晚才来呢? 我一直在这儿等你好久了!这是我送给你的礼物!”

Wang Peng sat in his empty restaurant feeling very frustrated.王鹏坐在他那空荡荡的餐馆里，感到十分沮丧。It had been a very strange morning.这个上午真是怪得很。Usually he got up early and prepared his menu of barbecued mutton kebabs,roast pork, stir-flied vegetables and fried rice.通常他很早就起床准备他的菜肴----烤羊肉串、烤猪肉、炒菜和炒饭。Then by lunchtime they would all be sold.然后到午饭时分，这些菜都会卖完。By now his restaurant ought to be full of people.But not today!到了这个时候，他的餐馆本该宾客盈门的，但今天却不是！Why was that? What could have happened? 为什么会这样？发生了什么事？ He thought of his mutton, beef and bacon cooked in the hottest, finest oil.他想起了他用滚烫的精制油烹制的羊肉、牛肉和腊肉。His cola was sugary and cold, and his ice cream was made of milk, cream and delicious fruit.他的可乐又甜又冷，冰激凌是用牛奶、奶油和美味的水果制成的。“Nothing could be better,” he thought.他想：“再没有比这些更好吃的了。” Suddenly he saw his friend Li Chang hurrying by.突然，他看到自己的朋友李昌匆匆地走过。“Hello, Lao Li,” he called.“Your usual?” 他喊道，“喂，老李！你还是吃老一套吧？” But Li Chang seemed not to hear.可是李昌似乎没有听到。What was the matter? 怎么回事呢？Something terrible must have happened if Li Chang was not coming to eat in his restaurant as he always did.要是李昌不像往常那样到他店里吃饭，那问题一定严重了。

Wang Peng followed Li Chang into a new small restaurant.王鹏跟着李昌来到一家新开张的小餐馆。He saw a sign at the door.看见门口有一块招牌：

Tired of all that fat? Want to lose weight? “肥腻的东西吃厌了吧？想变瘦吗？ Come inside Yong Hui’s slimming restaurant.请到雍慧减肥餐馆来。Only slimming foods served here.此地只供应减肥食品，Make yourself thin again!让你恢复苗条！”

Curiosity drove Wang Peng inside.王鹏受到好奇心的驱使，走了进去。It was full of people.里面坐满了人。The hostess, a very thin lady, came forward.“Welcome,” she said.“My name is Yong Hui.I'll help you lose weight and be fit in two weeks if you eat here every day.” 店老板，一个清瘦的女人走上前来说道：“欢迎光临！我叫雍慧。您要是每天来这儿用餐，我可以在两周内帮您减肥并让身体健康起来。”Then she gave a menu to Wang Peng.然后，她递给王鹏一份菜谱。There were few choices of food and drink on it: just rice, raw vegetables served in vinegar, fruit and water.菜谱上只有很少几样食物和饮料：只有米饭、蘸醋吃的生蔬菜、水果和水。Wang Peng was amazed at this and especially at the prices.王鹏对此感到吃惊，特别是对价格。It cost more than a good meal in his restaurant!这价格比在他的餐馆里吃一顿好饭还要贵。He could not believe his eyes.他几乎不能相信他的眼睛！He threw down the menu and hurried outside.他甩了菜谱就急匆匆往外走。On his way home he thought about his own menu.在回家的路上，他想起了自己的菜谱。Did it make people fat? 那些菜让人发胖了吗？ Perhaps he should go to the library and find out.也许他该去图书馆查查看。He could not have Yong Hui getting away with telling people lies!他可不能让雍慧哄骗人们却不受惩罚！He had better do some research!他最好做一番调查！

At the library Wang Peng was surprised to find that his restaurant served far too much fat and Yong Hui’s far too little.在图书馆，王鹏很惊讶地发现，他餐馆里的食物脂肪含量太高，而雍慧餐馆里的食物脂肪含量又太少。Even though her customers might get thin after eating Yong Hui’s food, they were not eating enough energy-giving food to keep them fit.尽管顾客吃她的餐馆里的饭菜会变得苗条，但他们摄取不到足够的热量来保持健康。They would become tired very quickly.很快就会感到疲乏。Wang Peng felt more hopeful as he drove back home.开车回家时，王鹏觉得又有了希望。Perhaps with a discount and a new sign he could win his customers back.也许写个新的标牌、打点折，能够赢回顾客吧。So he wrote: 于是他写到：

Want to feel fit and energetic?“想健康又精力旺盛吗？Come and eat here!Discounts today!到这里来用餐吧！今天打折！Our food gives you energy all day!

我们的食物能够给您提供一整天所需的热量！”

The competition between the two restaurants was on!这两家餐馆之间的竞争开始了！

4.必修三Unit2 COME AND EAT HERE(2)到这里来用餐吧（2）

A week later, Wang Peng' s restaurant was nearly full and he felt happier.一周后，王鹏的餐馆几乎坐满了人，他感到高兴些了。Perhaps he would be able to earn his living after all and not have to close his restaurant.也许他仍然能够谋生，而不至于关闭自己的餐馆了。He did not look forward to being in debt because his restaurant was no longer popular.他不希望由于餐馆不受欢迎而负债。He smiled as he welcomed some customers warmly at the door but the smile left his face when he saw Yong Hui walking in.他微笑着站在门口热情地迎接他的客人。但他一见到雍慧走进来，脸上的笑容马上就消失了。She did not look happy but glared at him.雍慧瞪着他，看上去不高兴。“ May I ask what you were doing in my restaurant the other day? “请问你那天到我餐馆里来干什么？ I thought you were a new customer and now I know that you only came to spy on me and my menu,” she shouted.我本来以为你是一位新顾客，现在我才发现你只是过来打探我和我的菜谱的。” 她大声问道。“ Please excuse me,” he calmly explained,“ I wanted to know where all my customers had gone last week.王鹏心平气和地解释说：“很对不起，上周我想知道我所有的顾客上哪儿吃饭去了。I followed one of them and found them in your restaurant.我跟着一位顾客走，发现他们在你的餐馆里。I don' t want to upset you, but I found your menu so limited that I stopped worrying and started advertising the benefits of my food.我并不想让你心烦，不过我发现你菜谱上的菜太少了，所以我也就不着急了，我也开始宣传我餐馆的食物的好处。Why don' t you sit down and try a meal?” 你为什么不坐下来吃顿饭呢？”

Yong Hui agreed to stay and soon they were both enjoying dumplings and breast of chicken cooked with garlic.雍慧同意留下来。没过一会，他们两人就津津有味地吃起饺子和蒜蓉鸡胸。When they were served the ice cream, Yong Hui began to look ill.当到吃冰激凌时，雍慧开始看起来不舒服了。“I feel sick with all this fat and heavy food,” she said, 她说，“吃了这么多油腻的、难消化的食物，我都觉得恶心了。“ I miss my vegetables and fruit.”我想吃我的蔬菜和水果。”Wang Peng was enjoying a second plate of dumplings so he sighed.“ Yes,” he added,“ and I would miss my dumplings and fatty pork.Don't you get tired quickly?” 这时候，王鹏正在吃第二盘饺子，他叹了一口气，说道，“同样地，（如果在你的餐馆）我还想吃我的饺子和肥肉呢。你不觉得自己很容易疲乏么？” “Well, I do have to rest a lot,” admitted Yong Hui.“是的，我的确经常需要休息。”雍慧承认了，“But don't you think it would be better if you were a bit thinner? I’m sure you ' d feel much healthier.”“不过，难道你不认为你瘦一点更好么？我相信，那样你会觉得更健康些。”

They began to talk about menus and balanced diets.他们开始谈论菜谱和平衡膳食的问题。“ According to my research, neither your restaurant nor mine offers a balanced diet,” explained Wang Peng.王鹏解释道：“根据我的研究，你我两家所提供的都不是均衡膳食。“ I don' t offer enough fibre and you don' t offer enough body-building and energy-giving food.我没有提供足够的纤维食物，而你提供的食物没有足够的营养和热量。Perhaps we ought to combine our ideas and provide a balanced menu with food full of energy and fibre.”也许我们应该把我们的想法结合起来，做出一份富有热量和纤维的均衡食谱。” So that is what they did.于是，他们就照此做了。They served raw vegetables with the hamburgers and boiled the potatoes rather than frying them.They served fresh fruit with the ice cream.他们用生蔬菜配汉堡包，煮土豆而不是油炸土豆，还拿新鲜水果配上冰激凌。In this way they cut down the fat and increased the fibre in the meal.这样，他们减少了饭菜中脂肪的含量，增加了纤维素。Their balanced diets became-such a success that before long Wang Peng became slimmer and Yong Hui put on more weight.他们的平衡食谱非常有效，王鹏很快就瘦了，而雍慧却胖了。After some time the two found that their business cooperation had turned into a personal one.不久以后，这两个人发现，他们生意上的合作变成了私人的合作了。Finally they got married and lived happily ever after!最后，他们结了婚，过上了幸福美满的生活！

No one knows exactly how the earth began, as it happened so long ago.没有人确切知道地球是怎样开始形成的，因为在很早很早以前地球就形成了。However, according to a widely accepted theory, the universe began with a “Big Bang” that threw matter in all directions.然而，一种普遍为人们所接受的理论是：宇宙起源于一次大爆炸，这次大爆炸将物质投射到四面八方。After that, atoms began to form and combine to create stars and other bodies.然后，原子开始形成并结合成恒星和其他天体。

For several billion years after the “Big Bang”, the earth was still just a cloud of dust.大爆炸后好几十亿年过去了，但地球还只是一团尘埃。What it was to become was uncertain until between 4.5 and 3.8 billion years ago when the dust settled into a solid globe.随后它会变成什么没人能知道，直到38—45亿年前，这团尘埃才慢慢地形成一个固体的球状物。The earth became so violent that it was not clear whether the shape would last or not.地球（开始）变得激烈动荡，不知道这个固体形状是否会继续存在下去。It exploded loudly with fire and rock.They were in time to produce carbon, nitrogen, water vapour and other gases, which were to make the earth's atmosphere.它（地球）猛烈地爆炸喷出了烈火与岩石，最终产生了碳，氮气，水蒸气和其他多种气体，从而形成了地球的大气层。What is even more important is that as the earth cooled down, water began to appear on its surface.更为重要的是，地球冷却了下来，地球的表面就开始出现了水。

Water had also appeared on other planets like Mars but, unlike the earth, it had disappeared later.在火星这些其他行星上都出现了水，但和地球不同的是，这些水后来都消失了。It was not immediately obvious that water was to be fundamental to the development of life.水对于生命的发展会起关键作用，这一点在当时并不明显。What many scientists believe is that the continued presence of water allowed the earth to dissolve harmful gases and acids into the oceans and seas.很多科学家相信，由于地球上长期有水存在，使得地球得以把有害气体和酸性物质溶解在海洋里。This produced a chain reaction, which made it possible for life to develop.这就产生了一系列的反应，使得生命就有可能开始发展了。

Many millions of years later, the first extremely small plants began to appear on the surface of the water.好几百万年后，水的表面开始出现了极小的植物。They multiplied and filled the oceans and seas with oxygen, which encouraged the later development of early shellfish and all sorts of fish.他们繁殖起来就使得海洋充满了氧气，这为早期的贝类及其他各种鱼类后来的进化创造了条件。Next, green plants began to grow on land.They were followed in time by land animals.接着，绿色植物开始出现在陆地上。Some were insects.Others, called amphibians, were able to live on land as well as in the water.随后，陆地上出现了动物，其中有一些是昆虫，另外一些叫两栖动物，他们既能在陆上生活，也能在水里生存。Later when the plants grew into forests, reptiles appeared for the first time.后来，当植物长成了森林的时候，爬行动物首次出现了。They produced young entirely by laying eggs.他们一般是通过孵蛋而繁衍后代的。After that, some huge animals, called dinosaurs, developed.再后来一些叫做恐龙的巨型动物出现了。They laid eggs too and existed on the earth for more than 140 million years.他们也生蛋，在地球上生存了一亿四千多万年。However,65 million years ago the age of the dinosaurs ended.然而，六千五百万年前，恐龙时代结束了。Why they suddenly disappeared still remains a mystery.他们为什么会突然灭绝至今仍是个谜。This disappearance made possible the rise of mammals on the earth.恐龙的灭绝使地球上哺乳动物的增多有了可能。These animals were different from all life forms in the past, because they gave birth to young baby animals and produced milk to feed them.这些动物不同于以往所有的生物形态，因为他们能从体内生产出幼仔并给幼仔哺乳。

Finally about 2.6 million years ago some small clever animals, now with hands and feet, appeared and spread all over the earth.最后，大约260万年前，一些小巧聪明，长着手脚的动物出现了，他们散布在地球的各个地方。Thus they have, in their turn, become the most important animals on the planet.于是，他们接着成为这个行星上最重要的动物。But they are not looking after the earth very well.然而，他们对地球却不怎么在意，They are putting too much carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, which prevents heat from escaping from the earth into space.他们把过多的二氧化碳释放到大气层中，这使得地球上的热不能释放到太空中去。As a result of this, many scientists believe the earth may become too hot to live on.因此，许多科学家相信地球可能会变得太热而不适合生物生存。So whether life will continue on the earth for millions of years to come will depend on whether this problem can be solved.所以，在未来的数百万年中，生命能否在地球上延续，取决于这个问题能否得到解决。

8.必修三Unit 4 A VISIT TO THE MOON月球之旅

Last month I was lucky enough to have a chance to make a trip into space with my friend Li Yanping, an astronomer.我的朋友李彦平是一位天文学家。上个月我有幸得到一个机会同他一起去太空旅行。We visited the moon in our spaceship!我们乘宇宙飞船参观了月球。

Before we left, Li Yanping explained to me that the force of gravity would change three times on our journey and that the first change would be the most powerful.在启程以前，李彦平向我解释说，在我们的航行中会有三次引力的改变，而第一次的改变将是最强的。Then we were off.随后我们就起航了。As the rocket rose into the air, we were pushed back into our seats because we were trying to escape the pull of the earth's gravity.随着火箭的升空，由于我们在努力挣脱地球的引力，我们被向后推在座位上。It was so hard that we could not say anything to each other.这种引力太强了，以至于我们彼此间都不能说话了。Gradually the weight lessened and I was able to talk to him.随后，这个力量慢慢减小，我才能够同他讲话。“Why is the spaceship not falling back to the earth? On the earth if I fall from a tree I will fall to the ground.” I asked.我问道：“为什么太空船不会向后朝地球的方向落下去呢？在地球上的时候，如果我从树上掉下来，总会朝地上落下去的。” “We are too far from the earth now to feel its pull,” he explained, 李彦平解释说：“现在我们离地球太远了，感觉不到地球的拉力，“so we feel as if there is no gravity at all.所以我们感觉好像没有地球引力了。When we get closer to the moon, we shall feel its gravity pulling us, but it will not be as strong a pull as the earth's.” 当我们更接近月球时，就会感到月球的引力在拉我们。但是，月球的引力不像地球的引力那么大。” I cheered up immediately and floated weightlessly around in our spaceship cabin watching the earth become smaller and the moon larger.我立刻感到很高兴，由于失重我在太空舱里飘来飘去，我望着（身后的）地球越来越小，而（前方的）月球越来越大。

When we got there, I wanted to explore immediately.我们到达月球时，我就想立即进行探测。“Come on,” I said.“If you are right, my mass will be less than on the earth because the moon is smaller and I will be able to move more freely.“来吧，”我说，“要是你讲得对，我的重量就会比在地球上小，而我就能够更自由地活动了。I might even grow taller if I stay here long enough.I shall certainly weigh less!” 如果我在月球上呆的时间足够长的话，我甚至可能长得更高，我的体重肯定也会变得更轻！”I laughed and climbed down the steps from the spaceship.我笑着从飞船的梯级上爬下来。But when I tried to step forward, I found I was carried twice as far as on the earth and fell over.而当我试着向前迈步的时候，我发觉我被送出去很远，步子的跨度竟然是在地球上的两倍，因而我摔倒了。“Oh dear,” I cried, “walking does need a bit of practice now that gravity has changed.” “天哪，”我大声说，“重力改变了，看来走路也的确需要练一练了。”After a while I got the hang of it and we began to enjoy ourselves.过了一会儿，我才掌握了走路的诀窍，这才开始感到自如了。

Leaving the moon's gravity was not as painful as leaving the earth's.摆脱月球引力不像摆脱地球引力那样痛苦。But returning to the earth was very frightening.但是返回到地球的经历却是非常吓人的。We watched, amazed as fire broke out on the outside of the spaceship as the earth's gravity increased.我们惊奇地看着，随着地球引力的增加，宇宙飞船的外层燃烧起火。Again we were pushed hard into our seats as we came back to land.当我们回到地面时，我们又感到被重重地推到在座位上。“That was very exhausting but very exciting too,” I said.我说道：“真是精疲力竭了，但也很激动人心。“Now I know much more about gravity!关于引力，我现在就懂得更多了。Do you think we could visit some stars next time?” 你认为下次我们可以上星球上去参观吗？” “Of course,” he smiled, “which star would you like to go to?”“当然可以，”他笑着说，“你想到哪颗星球上去呢？”

9.必修三Unit 5 A TRIP ON “THE TRUE NORTH”“真北方”之旅

Li Daiyu and her cousin Liu Qian were on a trip to Canada to visit their cousins in Montreal on the Atlantic coast.李黛予和她的表妹刘倩要去加拿大大西洋海岸的蒙特利尔市看望他们的表兄妹。Rather than take the aeroplane all the way, they decided to fly to Vancouver and then take the train west to east across Canada.他们不想一路乘飞机，而决定先飞到温哥华，再从西海岸乘火车横穿加拿大到达东海岸。The thought that they could cross the whole continent was exciting.要横贯整个大陆的想法很是令人兴奋。

Their friend, Danny Lin, was waiting at the airport.朋友林丹妮，在机场等候她们。He was going to take them and their baggage to catch “The True North”, the cross-Canada train.他要带着她们和行李去火车站乘坐横越加拿大的“真北方”号列车。On the way to the station, he chatted about their trip.在去火车站的路上，林丹妮聊起了她们的旅程：“You're going to see some great scenery.“你们沿途将会看见美丽壮阔的风景。Going eastward, you'll pass mountains and thousands of lakes and forests, as well as wide rivers and large cities.一路向东行，你们会经过一座座山脉，上千个湖泊，森林，还有宽阔的河流和许多大城市。Some people have the idea that you can cross Canada in less than five days, but they forget the fact that Canada is 5,500 kilometres from coast to coast.有人想在不到五天的时间里穿越加拿大，他们忘了加拿大从东海岸到西海岸有5500公里。Here in Vancouver, you're in Canada's warmest part.这儿，温哥华，是加拿大最温暖的地方。People say it is Canada's most beautiful city, surrounded by mountains and the Pacific Ocean.人们说温哥华是加拿大最美丽的城市，被大山和太平洋环抱。Skiing in the Rocky Mountains and sailing in the harbour make Vancouver one of Canada's most popular cities to live in.落基山脉可以滑雪，海港供你扬帆，这些使得温哥华成为加拿大最受欢迎的居住城市之一。Its population is increasing rapidly.这个城市的人口增长很快。The coast north of Vancouver has some of the oldest and most beautiful forests in the world.在温哥华北面的海岸上保存着世界上最古老，最美丽的森林。It is so wet there that the trees are extremely tall, some measuring over 90 metres.” 那儿的湿度很大，所以树都长得特别高，一些高达90多米。”

That afternoon aboard the train, the cousins settled down in their seats.那天下午表姐妹俩才登上火车落了座。Earlier that day, when they crossed the Rocky Mountains, they managed to catch sight of some mountain goats and even a grizzly bear and an eagle.火车先是穿越落基山脉，她们总算看到了野山羊，甚至还看见了一只大灰熊和一只鹰。Their next stop was Calgary, which is famous for the Calgary Stampede.她们的下一站是卡尔加里，这个城市因“大西部赛马会”而闻名。Cowboys from all over the world come to compete in the Stampede.来自世界各地的牛仔们来参加赛马会比赛。Many of them have a gift for riding wild horses and can win thousands of dollars in prizes.他们中许多人都有骑野马的才能，他们能赢得几千美元的奖金。

After two days' travel, the girls began to realize that Canada is quite empty.两天后，他们开始意识到加拿大人烟稀少。At school, they had learned that most Canadians live within a few hundred kilometres of the USA border, and Canada's population is only slightly over thirty million, but now they were amazed to see such an empty country.他们在学校学过，大多数加拿大人居住在靠近美国几百千米以内的边境地带，加拿大的人口也只有三千万多一点儿。但是现在看到这么空旷的国家，她们很惊讶。They went through a wheat-growing province and saw farms that covered thousands of acres.火车穿过一个种植小麦的省份，他们看到了面积有数千平方英亩的农场。After dinner, they were back in an urban area, the busy port city of Thunder Bay at the top of the Great Lakes.晚饭后，他们又回到城市，位于五大湖区最北端的繁忙的港口城市桑德湾。The girls were surprised at the fact that ocean ships can sail up the Great Lakes.海轮可以开到五大湖，让表姐妹俩感到吃惊。Because of the Great Lakes, they learned, Canada has more fresh water than any other country in the world.他们知道，因为五大湖，加拿大的淡水比世界上任何其他国家都要多。In fact, it has one-third of the world's total fresh water, and much of it is in the Great Lakes.事实上，加拿大拥有全世界三分之一的淡水量，其中大部分都蓄在五大湖泊里。

That night as they slept, the train rushed across the top of Lake Superior, through the great forests and southward towards Toronto.那天夜里她们睡着了，火车越过苏必利尔湖北部，穿过大森林，朝南向多伦多飞驰着。

10.必修三Unit 5 “THE TURE NORTH”FROM TORONTO TO MONTREAL多伦多——蒙特利尔的“真北方”列车

The next morning the bushes and maple trees outside their windows were red, gold and orange, and there was frost on the ground, confirming that fall had arrived in Canada.第二天早上，在她们的车窗外到处是灌木丛和枫树，挂满朱红、赤金和橘黄色的叶子，地面覆盖上一层薄霜，表明秋天已经来到了加拿大。

Around noon they arrived in Toronto, the biggest and most wealthy city in Canada.中午时分，她们来到多伦多——加拿大最大、最富有的城市。They were not leaving for Montreal until later, so they went on a tour of the city.她们要晚些时候才动身去蒙特利尔，因此就在多伦多市内游览了一番。They went up the tall CN Tower and looked across the lake.她们登上了高高的加拿大国家电视塔，俯瞰着下面的湖水。In the distance, they could see the misty cloud that rose from the great Niagara Falls, which is on the south side of the lake.远处，她们可以看到湖的南边尼亚加拉大瀑布上方升腾着的雾霭。The water flows into the Niagara River and over the falls on its way to the sea.湖水流入尼亚加拉河，再经过大瀑布，流向大海。

They saw the covered stadium, home of several famous basketball teams.她们看到了加顶的大型运动场，那是几支著名的篮球队的驻地。As they walked north from the harbour area, Li Daiyu said, “Lin Fei, one of my mother's old schoolmates, lives here.I should phone her from a telephone booth.”

当她们从港口区向北走的时候，李黛予说：“我妈妈的老同学林菲住在这里，我该到电话亭去给她打个电话。”

They met Lin Fei around dusk in downtown Chinatown, one of the three in Toronto.大约黄昏时分，她们在市区的中国城见到了林菲，这是多伦多三个中国城中的一个。Over dinner at a restaurant called The Pink Pearl, the cousins chatted with Lin Fei, who had moved to Canada many years earlier.在一个名叫“海珠酒楼”的餐馆里用餐时，表姐妹和许多年前就移居加拿大的林菲闲聊了起来。“We can get good Cantonese food here,” Lin Fei told them, “because most of the Chinese people here come from South China, especially Hong Kong.林菲告诉她们：“我们在这里可以吃到很好的广东菜，因为这里的大多数中国人来自中国南方，尤其是香港。It's too bad you can't go as far as Ottawa, Canada's capital.很可惜你们不能一直走到加拿大的首都渥太华。It's approximately four hundred kilometres northeast of Toronto, so it would take too long.” 它在多伦多东北方约400公里，要去那儿花时间就太多了。”

The train left late that night and arrived in Montreal at dawn the next morning.火车在那夜晚些时候起程了，第二天黎明到达了蒙特利尔。At the station, people everywhere were speaking French.火车站里，人们到处说的是法语。There were signs and ads in French, but some of them had English words in smaller letters.指示牌和广告也都是法文的，但有些标注了小字体的英文。“We don't leave until this evening,” said Liu Qian.刘倩说：“我们要到傍晚才动身，” “Let's go downtown.Old Montreal is close to the water.” “不如到市区去走走。蒙特利尔老城区靠近水边” They spent the afternoon in lovely shops and visiting artists in their workplaces beside the water.整个下午她们穿梭于布局可爱的商店，还拜访了水边工作坊里的艺术家。As they sat in a buffet restaurant looking over the broad St Lawrence River, a young man sat down with them.当她们坐在咖啡馆里眺望广阔的圣劳伦斯河时，一个年轻人坐在了她们的身边。

“Hello, my name is Henri.I'm a student at the university nearby,” he said, “and I was wondering where you are from.” 他说，“你们好，我叫亨利，是这里的大学生。请问你们从哪里来？” The girls told him they were on a train trip across Canada and that they had only one day in Montreal.姑娘们告诉他，她们是坐火车来旅游的，要横穿加拿大，在蒙特利尔只待一天。“That's too bad,” he said.“Montreal is a city with wonderful restaurants and clubs.他说：“这太糟糕了，蒙特利尔这个城市有极好的餐馆和俱乐部。Most of us speak both English and French, but the city has French culture and traditions.我们大多数人既说英语也说法语，但是这座城市具有法国文化和传统。We love good coffee, good bread and good music.” 我们喜欢好咖啡、好面包和好音乐。”

That night as the train was speeding along the St Lawrence River toward the Gulf of St Lawrence and down to the distant east coast, the cousins dreamed of French restaurants and red maple leaves.那天晚上，火车沿着圣劳伦斯河疾驰，朝圣劳伦斯湾驶去，一直开到远方的东海岸，姐妹两个做梦都在想着法国餐馆和红色枫叶。
