必修一 Unit1 Anne’s Best Friend

Do you want a friend whom you could tell everything to, like your deepest feelings and thoughts? Or are you afraid that your friend would laugh at you, or would not understand what you are going through? Anne Frank wanted the first kind, so she made her diary her best friend.

Anne lived in in the during World War Ⅱ. Her family was Jewish so nearly twenty-five months before they were discovered. During that time the only true

friend was her diary. She said, ” I don ’ t want to set down a series of facts in a

most people do, but I want this diary itself to be my friend, and I shall call my friend

Kitty. ” Now read how she felt after beingheinhidingt place since July 1942.

Thursday 15th June, 1944

Dear Kitty,

I wonder if it ’ s because I haven ’ t been able to be outdoors for so long that

grown so crazy about everything to do with nature. I can well remember that there was a time when a deep blue sky, the song of the birds, moonlight and flowers could

never have kept me spellbound. That ’ s changed since I was here.

⋯For example, one evening when it was so warm, I stayed awake on purpose

until half past eleven in order to have a good look at the moon by my self. But as the

moon gave far too much light, I didn ’ t dare open a window. Another time five

months ago, I happened to be upstairs at dusk when the window was open. I didn go downstairs until the window bad to be shut. The dark, rainy evening, the wind, the thundering clouds held me entirely in their power; it was the first time in a year and a

half that I ’ d seen the night face to face ⋯

⋯Sadly ⋯ I am only able to look at nature through dirty curtains hanging before

very dusty windows. It s no pleasure’ looking through these any longer because nature is one thing that really must be experienced.

Yours,

Anne

Unit2 the Road to Modern English

At the end of the 16th century, about five to seven million people spoke English. Nearly all of them lived in . Later in the next century, people from made voyages to conquer other parts of the world, and because of that, English began to be spoken in many other countries. Today, more people speak English as their first, second or a foreign language than ever before.

Native English speakers can understan each other even if they don ’ t speak th

same kind of English. Look at this example:

British Betty: Would you like to see my flat?

Finally by the 19th century the language was settled. At that time two big changes in English spelling happened: first Samuel Johnson wrote his dictionary and later Noah Webster wrote The American Dictionary of the English language. The latter gave a separate identity to American English spelling.

English now is also spoken as a foreign or second language in . For example, has a very large number of fluent English speakers because ruled from 1765 to 1947. During that time English became the language for government and education. English is also spoken in and and countries in Africa such as . Today the number of people learning English in is increasing rapidly. In fact, may have the largest

number of English learners. Will Chinese English develop its own identity? Only time will tell.

第二单元世界上的

通向现代英语之路

16 世纪末期大约有 5 百万到 7 百万人说英语，几乎所有这些人都生活在英国。

后来，在 17 世纪英国人开始航海征服了世界其它地区。于是，许多别的国家开始说英语了。如今说英语的人比以往任何时候都多，他们有的是作为第一语言来说，有的是作为第二语言或外语。

以英语作为母语的人，即使他们所讲的语言不尽相同，也可以互相交流。

请看以下例子：

英国人贝蒂： “请到我的公寓（ flat ）里来看看，好吗？ ”

美国人艾米： “好的。我很乐意到你的公寓（ apartment ）去。 ”

那么，英语在一段时间里为什么会起变化呢？事实上，当不同文化互相交

流渗透时，所有的语言都会有所发展，有所变化。首先，在公元 450 年到 ____年

间，人们所说的英语跟今天所说的英语就很不一样。当时的英语更多地是以德

语为基础的，而现代英语不是。然后，渐渐地，大约在公元 800 年到 ____年期间，

英语不那么像德语了。因为那时的英国的统治者起初讲丹麦语后来讲法语。这

些新的定居者大大丰富了英语语言，特别是在词汇方面。所以到 17 世纪，莎士比亚所用的词汇量比以前任何时期都大。在 ____年，一些英国人搬迁到美洲定

居。后来，到了 19 世纪，有些英国人也被送往澳大利亚，两个国家的人都开始说英语了。

最后，到 20 世纪，英语才真正定形。那时，英语在拼写上发生了两大变化：

首先，塞缪尔 ·约翰逊编写了词典，后来，诺厄 ·韦伯斯特编纂了《美国英语词典》，后者体现了美国英语拼写的不同特色。

现在，英语在南亚也被当作外语或第二语言来说。比如说，印度拥有众多讲英语很流利的人，这是因为英国于 ____年到 ____年统治过印度。在那期间，

英语成了官方语言和教育用语。在新加坡、马来西亚和非洲其它国家，比如南

4 / 12

非，人们也说英语。目前在中国英语的人数正在迅速增长。事实上，中国可能拥有世界上最多的英语学习者。中国英语会发展出自己的特色吗？这只能由时间来回答了。

Using Language

标准英语和方言

什么是标准英语？是在英国、美国、加拿大、澳大利亚、印度、新西兰所说的英语吗？信不信由你，（世界上）没有什么标准英语。许多人认为，电视和收音机里所说的就是标准英语，这是因为在早期的电台节目里，人们期望新闻播音员所说的英语是最好的英语。然而，在电视和收音机里，你也会听出人们在说话时的差异。

当人们用不同于 “标准语言 ”的词语时，那就叫做方言。美国英语有许多方言，特别是中西部和南部地区的方言，以及黑人和西班牙人的方言。在美国有些地区，即使是相邻城镇的两个人所说的语言都可能稍有不同。美国英语之所以有这么多的方言是因为美国人是来自世界各地的缘故。

地理位置对方言的产生也有影响。住在美国东部山区的一些人说着比较古老的英语方言。当美国人从一个地方搬到另一个地方时，他们也就把他们的方言随着带去了。因此，美国东南部山区的人同美国西北部的人所说的方言就几乎相同。美国是一个使用多种方言的大国。虽然许多美国人经常搬迁，但是他们仍然能够辨别、理解彼此的方言。

第三单元 Reading 沿湄公河而下的旅程

第一部分梦想与计划

我的名字叫王坤。从高中起，我姐姐王薇和我就一直梦想作一次伟大的自行车。两年前，她买了一辆昂贵的山地自行车，然后还说服我买了一辆（山地

车）。去年她去看望了我们的表兄弟 ——在昆明读大学的刀卫和宇航。他们是傣族人，在云南省西部靠近澜沧江的地方长大，湄公河在中国境内的这一段叫澜

沧江，在其他国家（境内）叫湄公河。很快，王薇使表兄弟也对骑车产生了兴趣。

大学毕业以后，我们终于有了机会骑自行车旅行。我问我姐姐： “我们要去哪儿？ ”首先想到要沿湄公河从源头到终点骑车旅游的是我的姐姐。现在她正在为我们的旅行制定计划。

我很喜欢我姐姐，但是她有一个很严重的缺点。她有时确实很固执。尽管她对去某些地方的最佳路线并不清楚，她却坚持要自己把这次旅游安排得尽善

尽美。于是，我就知道这个尽善尽美的方式总是她的方式。我不停地问她， “我们什么时候出发？什么时候回来？ ”我还问她是否看过地图。当然她并没有看过——我的姐姐是不会考虑细节的。于是，我告诉她，湄公河的源头在青海省。

她给了我一个坚定的眼神 ——这种眼神表明她是不会改变主意的。我说，我们的旅行将从 5, 000多米的高地出发，这时她似乎显得很兴奋。当我告诉她那里空气稀薄，呼吸困难，而且天气很冷时，她却说这将是一次有趣的经历。我非常了解我的姐姐，她一旦下了决心，什么也不能使她改变。最后，我只好让步

了。

在我们旅行前的几个月，王薇和我去了图书馆。我们找到一本大型地图册，里面有一些世界地理的明细图。我们从图上可以看到，湄公河发源于西藏一座山上的冰川。起初，江面很小，河水清澈而冷冽，然后它开始快速流动。它穿过深谷时就变成了急流，流经云南西部。有时，这条江形成瀑布，进入宽阔的峡谷。我们俩惊奇地发现这条河有一半是在中国境内。当流出中国，流出高地之后，湄公河就变宽了，变暖了，河水也变成了黄褐色。而当它进入东南亚以

后，流速减缓，河水蜿蜒缓慢地穿过低谷，流向生长稻谷的平原。最后，湄公河三角洲的各支流流入中国南海。

夜晚的西藏山景

第二部分山中一宿

虽然是秋天，但是西藏已经开始下雪了。我们的腿又沉又冷，感觉就像大冰块。你看到过雪人骑自行车吗？我们看上去就像那样。一路上，一些身着羊毛大衣的孩子们停下来看着我们。下午晚些时候，我们发现由于天冷我们的水壶都冻上了。然而，湖水在落日的余晖下闪亮如镜，景色迷人。像往常一样，王薇在我的前面，她很可靠，我知道我用不着给她鼓劲儿。上山很艰难，但是当我们环顾四周，（眼前的）景色让我们感到惊奇，我们似乎能看到几百里以外的地方。在某个时刻，我们发现自己置身高处，彷佛骑车穿越云层。然后我们开始下山，这非常有趣，特别是天气逐渐变得暖和多了。在山谷里，五彩斑斓的蝴蝶翩翩飞舞在我们身旁，我们还看到牦牛和羊群在吃草。这时，我们不得不把帽子、外衣、手套和长裤脱掉，换成 T 恤衫和短裤。

一到傍晚，我们通常就停下来宿营，（于是），我们先把帐篷支起来，然后吃饭。晚饭后，王薇把头放在枕头上就睡觉了，而我却醒着。半夜里，天空变

得清朗了，星星更亮了。（夜晚）非常安静 ——几乎没有风，只有篝火的火焰和我们做伴。当我躺在星空下，我想着我们已经走了多远。

我们很快就要到达云南的大理。在那里，我们的表兄弟刀卫和宇航将加入我们的行列。我们迫不及待地想要见到他们！

A Night the Earth didn ’ t Sleep

Strange things were happening in the countryside of northeast . For three days the water in the village wells rose and fell, rose and fell. Farmers noticed that the well walls had deep cracks in them. A smelly gas came out of the cracks. In the farmyards, the chickens and even the pigs were too nervous to eat. Mice ran out of

7 / 12

the fields looking for places to hide. Fish jumped out of their bowls and ponds. At about 3:00 am on July 28, 1976, some people saw bright lights in the sky. The sound of planes could be heard outside the city of even when no planes were in the sky. In the city, the water pipes in some buildings cracked and burst. But the one million people of the city, who thought little of these events, were asleep as usual the night.

At 3:42 am everything began to shake. It seemed as if the world was at an end! Eleven kilometers directly below the city the greatest earthquake of the 20th century had begun. It was felt in , which is more than two hundred kilometers away.

One-third of the nation felt it. A huge crack that was eight kilometers long and thirty meters wide cut across houses, roads and canals. Steam burst from holes in the ground. Hard hills of rock became rivers of dirt. In fifteen terrible seconds a large city lay in ruins. The suffering of the people was extreme. Two-thirds of them died or were injured during the earthquake. Thousands of families were killed of injured reached more than 400,000.

But how could the survivors believe it was natural? Everywhere they looked

nearly every thing was destroyed. All of the city ’ s hospitals, 75% of its fact buildings and 90% of its homes were gone. Bricks covered the ground like red

autumn leaves. No wind, however, could blow them away. Two dams fell and most of the bridges also fell or were not safe for traveling. The railway tracks were now useless pieces of steel. Tens of thousands of cows would never give milk again. Half a million pigs and millions of chickens were dead. Sand now filled the wells instead of water. People were shocked. Then, later that afternoon, another big quake which was almost as strong as the first one shook . Some of the rescue workers and doctors were trapped under the ruins. More buildings fell down. Water, food, and electricity were hard to get. People began to wonder how long the disaster would last.

All hope was not lost. Soon after the quakes, the army sent 150,000 soldiers of thousands of people were helped. The army organized teams to dig out those who were trapped and to bury the dead. To the north of the city, most of the 10,000 miners were rescued from the coal mines there. Workers built shelters for survivors whose homes had been destroyed. Fresh water was taken to the city by train, truck and plane. Slowly, the city began to breathe again.

地球的一个不眠之夜

河北省东北部的农村不断有些怪事发生：三天来，村子里的井水升升降降，起起伏伏。农夫注意到，水井的井壁上有深深的裂缝，裂缝里冒出臭气。农家大院里的鸡 ,甚至猪都紧张得不想吃食。老鼠从田地里跑出来找地方藏身。鱼缸和池塘里的鱼会往外跳。在左右，有些人看到天上一道道明亮的光。即使天空没有飞机，在唐山城外也可以听到飞机声。在市内，有些建筑物里的水管爆裂开来。但是，唐山市的一百万居民几乎都没有把这些情况当一回事，当天晚上照常睡着了。

在凌晨 3 点 42 分，一切都开始摇晃起来。世界似乎到了末日！二十世纪最

大的一次地震就在唐山市正下方处发生了。以外的市都感到了地震，全国 1 / 3 的地方都有震感。一条长宽的巨大裂缝横穿房舍、马路和渠道。地上一些洞穴

冒出了蒸气。石头山变成了泥沙河，在可怕的 15 秒钟内，一座大城市就沉沦在一片废墟之中。人们遭受的灾难极为深重。 2/3 的人在地震中死去或受伤。成千

上万个家庭遇难，许多孩子变成了孤儿。死伤的人数达到 40 多万。

幸存的人们又怎么能相信这是自然现象呢？人们无论朝哪里看，哪里的一

切都几乎被毁了。所有的市内医院、 75%的工厂和建筑物、 90%的家园都消失了。残砖就像秋天的红叶覆盖着大地，然而它们是不可能被风刮走的。两座大坝垮

了，多数桥梁不是塌了就是无法安全通行了。铁轨如今成了一条条废钢。好几万头牛再也挤不出奶来。 50 万头猪和几百万只鸡全都死了。井里满是沙子，而不是水。人们惊呆了。接着，在下午晚些时候，又一次和第一次一样的强烈的地震震撼着唐山。有些医生和救援人员被困在废墟下面。更多的房屋倒塌了。水、电和食物都很难弄到。人们开始纳闷，这场灾难还会持续多久。

不是所有的希望都破灭了。地震后不久，部队派了 15 万名战士到唐山来协助救援人员，数十万的人得到了救助。部队人员组成小分队，将受困的人们挖

出来，将死者掩埋。在唐山市的北边，有一个万名矿工的煤矿，其中多数人得救了。援救人员为那些家园被毁的幸存者盖起了避难所，用火车、卡车和飞机向市内运来了水。慢慢地、慢慢地，这座城市又开始出现了生机。

Elias ’ Story

My name is Elias. I am a poor black worker in . The time when I first met Nelson Mandela was a very difficult period of my life. I was twelve years old. It was in 1952 and Mandela was the black lawyer to whom I went for advice. He offered guidance to poor black people on their legal problems. He was generous with his time, for which I was grateful.

The day when Nelson Mandela helped me was one of my happiest. He told me how to get the correct papers so I could stay in . I became more hopeful about my future. I never forgot how kind Mandela was. When he organized the ANC Youth League, I joined it as soon as I could. He said:

“ The last thirty years have seen the greatest number of laws stopping out rights and progress, until today we have reached a stage where we have almost no rights at all. ”

10 / 12

It was the truth. Black people could not vote or choose their leaders. They could not get the jobs they wanted. The parts of town in which they had to live were decided by white people. The places outside the towns where they were sent to live were the poorest parts of . No one could grow food there. In fact as Nelson Mandela said:

“⋯ we were put into a position in which we had either to accept we were less important or fight the government. We chose to attack the laws. We first broke the

law in a way which was peaceful; when this was not allowed ⋯ only then did

decide to answer violence with violence. ”

As a matter of fact, I do not like violence ⋯ but in 1963 I helped him blow

some government buildings. It was very dangerous because if I was caught I could be put in prison. But I was happy to help because I knew it would help us achieve our dream of making black and white people equal.
