Appreciating Literature
What is classic literature?Classics are the antiques of the literary world.They are novels,plays and poems that were written a long time ago and were so well written that people still read themnowadays.They are examples of great writing and wisdom,and even those written centuries ago can still be found in bookshops and libraries today.
Because a lot of classics were written so long ago,their languagecharacteristics are quite different from those of modern works.This makes them difficult for some people to read,so they are often left to gather dust on shelves.Many people do not read them,because they think classics are old and boring and have nothing to do with life today.
However,if this is true,why do we still find these classics in bookshops and libraries?They have not disappeared and still have a place in the world.Why else would many films adapted from them be successful?In 1995,an award-winning film based on Jane Austen’s novel Emma came out.Three years later,in 1998,a modern adaptation of Charles Dickens’s novel Great Expectations appeared in cinemas.
Nobody would bother to make these classic novels into films if they had nothing to do with contemporary life.
Charles Dickens:England’s greatest writer
The novelist Charles Dickens was born in Portsmouth,England in 1812.Oliver Twist,David Copperfield and Great Expectations are probably his best-known works. He first published many novels one chapter at a time in newspapers,and some were later performed on stage.For people at that time,his stories were like the soap operas we see on TV today.He died in 1870.His tomb reads,‘By his death,one of England’s greatest writers is lost to the world.’
Great Expectations
Great Expectations is set in England in the early 1800s.The author uses Pip, the main character, to tell the story.Having lost his parents, Pip lives with his older sister and her husband Joe.Pip’s sister often abuses him, butJoe is a kind and simple man who would rather die than see any harm come to Pip.
Pip, who is seven years old when the story begins, is in a foggy cemetery when a desperate criminal appears and frightens him. Mist is a symbol of danger in Great Expectations.Classic novels often have symbols which add interest, tension or deeper meaning to the text.Readers may not be able to see the danger, so they need a symbol like the mist to make it clearer to them.
There is a twist in the plot when a very generous stranger gives Pip a large fortune.As a condition for receiving this fortune, Pip must move to London and begin the life of a gentleman.Pip is eager to begin his new life. Money and education, however, change him, and before long he becomes vain and ashamed of his background.Pip dislikes it when Joe comes to visit him in London.He has rigid ideas of what it means to be civil and to be a gentleman, and isembarrassed by Joe because he does not fit these.
Pip is bent on becoming a gentleman and winning Estella’s love.Estella is a beautiful girl, and for Pip she is a symbol of education and money.What it really means to be a gentleman is an
important theme in Great Expectations.Is a person with a lot of money a gentleman? Or, is a gentleman somebody who is kind and good to his friends?
By the end of the novel, Pip has changed a lot.He learns that wealth does not buy happiness and that friends are more important than a fancy education.This change in Pip is called character development, which is an important part of almost any novel. Does Joe forgive Pip? Does Pip get the girl of his dreams? Will Pip ever find out the identity of the person who gave him the money? You will just have to read the book yourself to find out.
文学欣赏
什么是经典文学?经典文学作品是文学世界里的古董。它们是很久以前创作的小说、戏剧和诗歌。这些作品写得如此之好以至于今天人们仍然在阅读它们。经典文学是杰出的创作及智慧的典范,即使是几世纪前写的那些作品,现在依然可以在书店和图书馆里找到。
因为许多经典文学作品创作如此久远,所以它们的语言特色与现代文学作品的语言特色有相当大的区别。这让一些人阅读起来有些困难,因此经典文学作品常常被遗忘在书架上,落满灰尘。许多人不读经典文学作品是因为觉得它们太古老,枯燥乏味,与今天的生活没有任何联系。
但是,如果这种观点是正确的,为什么我们今天仍然可以在书店和图书馆里找到这些经典文学作品呢?它们并没有消失,在当今世界仍占有一席之地。还有,为什么许多根据经典文学作品改编的电影会成功呢?1995年,一部根据简·奥斯丁的小说《爱玛》改编的获奖影片问世。三年后的1998年,根据查尔斯·狄更斯的小说《远大前程》改编的现代版影片在电影院上映。如果这些经典小说与现代生活没有任何关系的话,没人会花费精力将它们改编成电影。
查尔斯·狄更斯:“英国最伟大的作家”
小说家查尔斯·狄更斯1812年出生于英国的朴次茅斯。《雾都孤儿》、《大卫·科波菲尔》、《远大前程》可能是他最广为人知的作品。狄更斯最初将许多小说发表在报纸上,每次刊登一章,有一些作品后来被搬上了舞台。对于那时候的人来说,他的小说就如同我们今天在电视上看到的肥皂剧。狄更斯于1870年去世,他的墓碑上写着:“他的辞世令世界失去了一位最伟大的英国作家。”
《远大前程》
《远大前程》以19世纪初的英格兰为背景。作者用小说的主人公皮普的口吻来讲述整个故事。在他父母去世之后,皮普与姐姐和姐夫乔一起生活。皮普的姐姐经常辱骂他,但乔却是一个淳朴善良的人,他宁愿死也不愿意看到皮普受到任何伤害。
故事开始时七岁的皮普正在薄雾笼罩的坟场上, 突然一名亡命之徒出现了,使他吓了一大跳。在《远大前程》中雾是危险的象征。经典小说中往往有一些象征, 这些象征为小说增添了趣味、紧张的气氛或者更深层次的含义。读者可能看不到危险, 因此他们需要一个象征,例如雾,使危险更清楚地呈现在他们面前。
当一位非常慷慨的陌生人赠予了皮普一大笔财富的时候,故事情节发生了转折。作为获得这笔财富的一个条件,皮普必须移居伦敦,开始绅士生活。皮普迫不及待地开始了新生活。但是金钱和教育改变了他,不久他变得浅薄,为自己的身世感到羞耻。当乔来伦敦看他时,皮普并不喜欢他来。皮普对文明和绅士的内涵有着刻板的解释,而乔让他尴尬,因为乔不符合这些观念。
皮普一心要成为一名绅士,并赢得埃斯特拉的芳心。埃斯特拉是位漂亮的女孩,对皮普而言,她就是教育和金钱的象征。《远大前程》中一个重要的主题就是:做一名绅士究竟意味着什么?有很多钱的人就是一名绅士吗?或者,那种对朋友很善良、很友好的人才是绅土吗?小说结尾时,皮普变化很大。他认识到财富买不到幸福,朋友比华而不实的教育更重要。皮普的这种转变被称为人物性格的发展,这是几乎任何一部小说中的一个重要部分。乔有没有原谅皮普呢?皮普有没有得到他的梦中女孩呢?皮普有没有查出给他钱的人的身份呢?你还得自己看这部小说找到答案。

讲解归纳
否定句的常见形式和用法
1.常见否定句:否定副词not,seldom,never,hardly,rarely,nowhere等与谓语动词连用。
I can hardly understand what he said just now.我几乎不能理解他刚才所说的话。
注意:这些否定副词用于句首时,主句要使用倒装语序。
Seldom does he go to work late.他很少上班迟到。
Never in my life have I heard such nonsense!
我这辈子从来没有听过这种废话!
2.否定祈使句:由“Don’t或Never+动词原形”构成。
Do not cut down the tree that gives you shade.
切勿忘恩负义。
Never judge people by their appearance.不可以貌取人。3.全部否定:由“否定主语(否定代词或no+名词)+肯定谓语”构成。
Nothing is difficult if you put your heart into it.
世上无难事,只怕有心人。
No man is born wise.人非生而知之。注意:常用“neither/nor+助动词/情态动词+主语”来表达“某人也不……”。
If you don’t accept his invitation,neither shall I.
如果你不接受他的邀请,我也不接受。
4.否定转移:常见的否定转移有两种情况。
(1)含有原因状语从句的主从复合句,形式上虽然是否定主句的谓语,然而意义上是否定该原因状语,译为“并不因为……而……”。
The mountain is not valuable because it is high.
山不在高。(2)当主语是第一人称,而且think,believe,suppose,expect,imagine等动词引导否定意义的宾语从句时,通常把从句中的not 提前,把主句变成否定句,从句用肯定形式。
We don’t believe that the news is true.
我们相信这个消息不是真的。
注意:把这些发生否定转移的句子变为反意疑问句时,疑问部分应与宾语从句主谓部分构成反意疑问句。
I don’t think that he is honest,is he?我认为他不诚实,是吗?
not常用在I think,I believe,I expect,I suppose,I guess,I’m afraid 之后,构成省略句。
—Do you think it will be a fine day tomorrow?
——你认为明天天气会好吗?
—I’m afraid not.
——恐怕不是。
—Do you believe that Rocket will win the game?
——你相信火箭队会赢吗?
—I believe not.(=I don’t believe so.)
——我看不会。
5.否定疑问句:常用来表示反问、惊讶、建议、赞叹等语气。
Don’t you know these traffic rules?
难道你不知道这些交通规则吗?
Isn’t it a lovely day?天气多好啊!
注意:在回答否定疑问句时,要根据具体事实作答。—Didn’t you see the film Titanic yesterday?
—________.I would like to have seen it.
A.Yes,I did
B.No,I didn’t
C.Yes,I didn’t
D.No,I did
解析:选B。由于yes 与肯定句连用,no 与否定句连用,首先可排除C、D两项。A、B形式都正确,但从题目语境中最后一句话“我倒希望自己看了那部电影。”可知事实上我昨天没有看电影,故答案选B。如果把题干最后一句话改为“It’s very moving.”,则说明我昨天看过电影,正确答案就应该选A。这种“根据事实作答”在运用中很不容易掌握,大家应该仔细体会其用法。
6.非谓语动词的否定式:通常把 not 或 never 放在非谓语动词 to do,doing 的前面。
I advised him not to smoke but he wouldn’t listen.
我劝他别抽烟,可他不愿意听。Not having received a reply,she wrote him another letter.
由于没有收到他的回信,她又给他写了一封信。
7.双重否定句:由两个否定词搭配构成,表示一个较强的肯定语气。Without air or water,man can not live on the earth.
没有空气和水,人类是无法在地球上生存的。
It’s never too late to learn.
活到老,学到老,
He will not do it for nothing.
他不会无缘无故做这件事。
There is no success without hardships.
不经历风雨,哪有彩虹。
He was nothing if not clever.
他很聪明。(“nothing if not”表示“极其”)8.部分否定:通常由 not 与表示整体意义的词(如:everyone,everything,all,each,always,entirely等)连用来表达。
Everything on the Internet is not reliable.
网络上的东西并非都是可信的。
I’m not always at home on Sundays.
我星期天不一定总在家。
9.含蓄否定:英语中有些句子虽然并不使用否定词,但也能表达否定意思。
That is more than I can do.
我干不了那件事。This is the last thing I would ever want to do.
这是我最不愿意做的事。
It is three years since he was a teacher.他不当教师已经三年时间了。(在“It is +时间段+since...”结构中,从句谓语是延续性动词时表示否定意义)10.否定形式表达肯定意义:英语中有些句子形式否定但却表达肯定意义,对其理解切不可望文生义。
Isn’t this film moving?这部电影难道不感人吗?(否定疑问句常表示肯定意义)

Robert Burns and his poetry
Robert Burns,Scotland’s supreme literary hero,was born in Alloway,Scotland in 1759.Burns had a reputation for being funny and pleasant to be around. However he came from a poor family with many debts,and did not ever make a lot of money.
People say that Burns’s first love,Nelly Kirkpatrick,encouraged him to write poetry ‘To a Mouse’and ‘The Holy Fair’,two of his most popularpoems,both appeared in his first book of poetry.After it was published,he became famous nationwide.Then he moved to Edinburgh,the capital and largest urban centre of Scotland.Burns was by then a famous poet,but was not any richer and had to earn his income by farming.
A hard life and weak health made Robert Burns’s life short.He died at the age of 37 in 1796.All of Scotland mourned Burns’s death,and afterwards many people donated money to support his widow and children.
There is a statue of Burns in George Square in Glasgow,Scotland.When this monument in honour of him was first shown to the public in 1877,the day was declared a holiday and about 30,000 people came out to watch.
From this we can see how much the Scottish people adored Burns.The house in Alloway where Burns was born is now a museum of his life and work.Burns belonged to a group of poets (including John Keats and William Wordsworth) called the Romantic poets.The Romantic Movement started around 1780 and lasted until about 1830.The poetry of this period often focuses on concepts like freedom andbeauty,and tends to use imagination and touch on strong feelings.
The Romantic poets were very interested in nature,and often used it as a theme in their poetry. This is probably why Burns talked about a rose in his famous poem,‘A Red,Red Rose’.He wrote in the same way the Scottish people spoke back then,which explains why the spelling looks rather strange.
Note how‘love’is spelt‘luve’,how‘well’ is spelt ‘weel’ and how ‘go’ is spelt ‘gang’.The poem was published in 1794 and ,like many of Burns’s poems,it was intended to be a song.Burns divided this poem into four short sections consisting of four lines each. These sections in a poem are like paragraphs in an article.The second and fourth lines of each section rhyme.
Poetry is usually full of symbols,and‘A Red,Red Rose’ is no different.With the line ‘O my Luve’s like a red,red rose’,he compares the girl he loves to a red rose. He goes on to compare her to a song in the lines ‘O my Luve’s like the melodie/That’s sweetly play’d in tune!’When he mentions‘the sands o’life’ in the third section,he is swearing that his love will never fade as long as he lives.
‘Fare thee weel’ in the last section of the poem means‘farewell’,or‘goodbye’.Yet,though he is saying goodbye to his love,he promises to come to see her again,even if he has to travel ten thousand miles.
A Red,Red Rose
by Robert Burns
O my Luve’s like a red,red rose
That’s newly sprung in June;
O my Luve’s like the melodie
That’s sweetly play’d in tune!
As fair art thou,my bonnie lass,
So deep in luve am I:
And I will luve thee still,my dear,
Till a’ the seas gang dry:
?Till a’ the seas gang dry,my dear,
And the rocks melt wi’ the sun;
I will luve thee still,my dear,
While the sands o’life shall run.
And fare thee weel,my only Luve,
And fare thee weel a while!
And I will come again,my Luve,
Tho’ it were ten thousand mile.
罗伯特·彭斯和他的诗歌
罗伯特·彭斯是苏格兰的文学巨匠,于1759年出生在苏格兰的阿洛韦。彭斯有待人风趣、友好的好名声。但是,他出生在一个负债累累的贫困家庭,而且从来没有挣到过很多钱。人们说彭斯的第一位恋人内莉·柯克帕特里克鼓励他创作诗歌。他最受欢迎的诗歌中的两首《致小鼠》和《圣集》都出现在他的第一本诗集中。在他的第一本诗集出版后,他闻名全国。
然后,他搬到了既是苏格兰首府又是苏格兰最大城市的爱丁堡。彭斯是当时有名的诗人,但他并没有比以前富裕多少,不得不靠做农活维持生计。
艰辛的生活和虚弱的体质缩短了彭斯的生命。他于1796年去世,享年37岁。整个苏格兰都哀悼他的逝世,随后许多人捐款资助他的妻子和孩子们。在苏格兰格拉斯哥的乔治广场有一尊彭斯的塑像。这座纪念彭斯的塑像于1877年首次对公众展出,那一天被定为假日,约有三万人出来观看。由此可见苏格兰人民多么崇敬他。位于阿洛韦彭斯出生的房子,现在是展示他生平和作品的纪念馆。
彭斯属于被称为浪漫主义诗人(包括约翰·济慈和威廉·华兹华斯)的群体。浪漫主义运动大概始于1780年,持续至1830年左右。这一时期的诗歌通常关注自由、美丽等概念,往往运用想像触及强烈的情感。浪漫主义诗人对自然有浓厚的兴趣,经常以自然作为他们诗歌的主题。这可能就是为什么彭斯在他的著名诗歌《一朵红红的玫瑰》里描写了玫瑰。他用当时苏格兰人民口语的形式写作诗歌,这也解释了为什么拼写看起来相当奇怪。注意“love”拼成了“luve”,“well”拼成了“weel”,“go”拼成了“gang”。这首诗发表于1794年,如同彭斯的许多诗歌一样,这首诗原是为歌咏而作。彭斯将这首诗分为四节,每节四行。诗歌中的节就像文章里的段落。每一节的第二行和第四行押韵。
诗歌常常充满象征,《一朵红红的玫瑰》也不例外。在“啊,我的爱人像一朵红红的玫瑰”这一行中,他把他所爱的姑娘比作一朵红玫瑰。他继而又将他的爱人比作一首歌曲,“啊,我的爱人像一首乐曲/演奏得甜美而合拍”。彭斯在第三节里提到了“生命的流沙”,他这是在立下誓言,只要生命不停歇,他的爱就永远不会褪去。诗歌最后一节中的“Fare thee weel”意思是“别了”或“再见”。虽然他是在向他的爱人说再见,但他许诺一定会再来看她,即使他要远行万里。
一朵红红的玫瑰
罗伯特·彭斯
啊,我的爱人像一朵红红的玫瑰,
在六月里含苞绽开;
啊,我的爱人像一首乐曲,
演奏得甜美而合拍。
你是那么美丽,我的好姑娘,
我爱你那么深切;
我会永远爱你,亲爱的,
直到四海枯竭。
直到四海枯竭,亲爱的,
岩石被太阳熔解;
亲爱的,我会永远爱你,
只要生命永不停歇。
再见吧,我惟一的爱人,
我和你暂时别离!
我会回来的,我的爱人,
即使相隔万里。

?Turandot in Beijing
by Jane Jones
Last night, I witnessed the first of only eight performances of Giacomo Puccini’s world-famous opera, Turandot, being performed in the Forbidden City inBeijing,China.The performance was splendid.Some of the world’s greatest opera singers were cast in this production, and many great Chinese musicians also participated.Puccini,an Italian, wrote Turandot towards the end of his life, between 1920 and 1924. He liked East Asia very much and also wrote Madam Butterfly, which is set in Japan.
Just imagine performing such an opera in the Forbidden City—there could not be a more awesome setting! You could almost feel the history.
The weather was also perfect for a performance outdoors.Instead of a stage curtain, there were decorated screens covered with red and gold,and traditional Chinese drums were used to announce the start of the opera.Turandot is the story of a stubborn and cruel Chinese princess, named Turandot,who lives in the Forbidden City in Beijing.In the story, the emperor of China,Turandot’s father, has promised to allow her to choose her own husband. In order to avoid marriage, she says that any potential husband must solve three riddles if he wants to marry her.Those who cannot answer all three riddles, however, will be condemned to death.This means that few men would dare to ask for her hand in marriage. The story begins when a prince is killed for failing to solve her riddles.The emperor finds the death disturbing.However, although he would like to, he cannot break his promise and must allow Turandot to do as she wishes.
Shortly afterwards, another prince, Calaf, falls in love with Turandot at first sight and decides to solve the riddles so that he can marry her.Meanwhile, Liu, a young slave of Calaf’s father, expresses her love for Calaf. The story then takes on a classic love triangle between Calaf, Turandot and Liu.
Calaf goes to Turandot and—without introducing himself or telling her his name—answers the three questions.Turandot becomes very angry at this turn of events, as she is unwilling to get married.Seeing this, Calaf says that if she can guess his name by sunrise, she will not have to marry him, but can have him killed. Calaf’s father and Liu have been seen accompanying Calaf, so Turandot seizes Calaf’s father and Liu, and demands that they tell her Calaf’s name or they will be beaten.Wanting to protect the father, Liu claims that she alone knows the name, but resists telling Turandot. Then Liu grabs a sword from a guard and kills herself.
When it becomes evident what happened, Calaf scolds Turandot for not being more merciful.However, though he is angry, he still loves her.Calaf kisses Turandot.
Turandot’s heart grows softer, but is still quite hard.She demands that he leave.Instead, he tells her his name—just before the dawn deadline—and says that she can kill him if she wishes. At the end of the story, the prince and princess unite in marriage, and the whole city celebrates their happiness.
Unfortunately, Puccini died of a heart attack before he completed this final scene,and it had to be completed by one of his former students, Franco Alfano.An opera company staged the opera in Beijing in the 1990s, but the performance I saw was the first timeTurandot was staged inside the Forbidden City.The production combined the very best of Western and Chinese talents.The music was conducted by Zubin Mehta, a superb conductor, who was born in India.The opera was directed by Zhang Yimou, a well-known Chinese director. In the Beijing performance I saw, Turandot was played by Sharon Sweet from the USA, Liu was played by another opera singer from the USA, Barbara Hendricks, and Calaf was sung by Kristjan Johannsson from Iceland.They were all excellent.
The Forbidden City was once only accessible to the emperor, his family and senior officials.However, in this wonderful production, it has been transformed into the spot for a beautiful and sad love story.
The bringing together of this group of people from many countries, the music, and the grand setting are clearly the key components of this amazing production.《图兰朵》在北京
简·琼斯
昨天晚上,我目睹了贾科莫·普契尼闻名世界的歌剧《图兰朵》在中国北京紫禁城的首场演出,该歌剧在这里只演八场。演出异彩纷呈。几位世界级歌剧演唱家在演出中担任主演,许多杰出的中国音乐家也参与进来。普契尼是意大利人,1920年至1924年期间,在他的生命快要走向终点之际,他创作了《图兰朵》。普契尼非常喜欢东亚,还创作了以日本为背景的《蝴蝶夫人》。
想象一下在紫禁城上演这出歌剧吧——不可能有比这儿更令人叹为观止的场景了!你几乎可以感受到历史。天气对于户外演出来说也是绝佳的。覆盖着红色和金色的经过装饰的屏风代替了舞台帷幕,传统的中国鼓被用来宣告歌剧的开场。
《图兰朵》讲述的是一位顽固、冷酷的中国公主图兰朵的故事,她住在北京紫禁城里。故事中,中国的皇帝,即图兰朵的父亲,允诺女儿由她自己选择丈夫。为了逃避婚姻,她说任何想成为她丈夫的人要娶她必须猜中三道谜语。但是猜不出全部三道谜语的人将被处以死刑。这意味着几乎没人胆敢向她求婚。故事开始时,一位王子因为猜不中图兰朵的谜语被处死。皇上为死人的事而感到不安,虽然他很想收回这一允诺,但又不能食言,只能让图兰朵按照自己的意愿行事。
之后不久,另一位王子卡拉夫对图兰朵一见钟情,决定要解开谜底,以便能迎娶图兰朵。这时,卡拉夫父亲的年轻奴隶柳儿倾诉了她对卡拉夫的爱。故事随后演绎了发生在卡拉夫、图兰朵和柳儿三人之间的经典三角恋情。卡拉夫来到图兰朵面前——没有自我介绍,也没有告诉图兰朵自己的名字——回答出她的三个问题。
对于事情的这一转折图兰朵非常恼火,因为她不愿意结婚。见此,卡拉夫说如果她能在太阳升起之前猜出他的名字,她不仅可以不嫁给他,还可以杀了他。有人曾看见卡拉夫的父亲和柳儿陪伴着卡拉夫,因此图兰朵把卡拉夫的父亲和柳儿抓了起来,强令他们告诉她卡拉夫的名字,否则他们就要遭到毒打。为了保护卡拉夫的父亲,柳儿宣称只有她知道卡拉夫的名字,但她拒绝告诉图兰朵。
然后柳儿从一名卫兵的手中夺过一把剑自刎。当所发生的一切已显而易见时,卡拉夫斥责图兰朵没有慈悲之心.然而,尽管卡拉夫非常愤怒,他依然爱着图兰朵。卡拉夫亲吻了图兰朵。图兰朵的心变得软些了,但仍然相当冷酷。
她强令卡拉夫离开。但是,卡拉夫告诉了图兰朵他的名字——就在黎明的期限来临之前——还说如果图兰朵愿意,她可以杀死他。在故事的结尾处,王子和公主喜结良缘,整座城市欢庆他们的幸福。
不幸的是,普契尼还没有完成这最后一幕就因心脏病发作去世了,这一幕只好由他以前的一名学生佛朗哥·阿尔法诺来完成。在20世纪90年代,一家歌剧公司将这出歌剧搬上了北京的舞台,但我观看的这场演出是《图兰朵》第一次在紫禁城里上演。这次演出结合了中西方最优秀的人才。乐队由生于印度的杰出指挥家祖宾·梅塔指挥。歌剧由中国著名导演张艺谋执导。我观看的这场在北京的演出中,图兰朵由美国的莎伦·斯威特扮演,柳儿由美国另一名歌剧演唱家芭芭拉·亨德里克斯扮演,卡拉夫则是由来自冰岛的克里斯蒂安·约翰松扮演。他们都很出色。
紫禁城曾经只允许皇帝、皇室人员和高级官员进入,但是,在这次精彩的演出中,它变成了一个美丽而令人心碎的爱情故事的发生地。来自许多国家的这群人的联袂演出、音乐以及恢弘的场景显然是这场令人惊叹的演出的重要因素。

2.感官动词see,hear,feel,watch,notice 等以及使役动词let,make,have后作宾补的动词不定式中的不定式符号to要省略,但变为被动语态时,to 必须保留。

我来不是责备你,而是表扬你。
5.在why,why not 引出的特殊疑问句中,后跟省略to 的动词不定式。
Why talk so much about it?
为什么大谈这个事呢?
6.动词不定式中动词原形部分是否省略,主要看句子前面是否已出现过同样的动词。如果句子前面出现过同样的动词,为了避免重复,句子后面的不定式常省略动词原形,而保留不定式符号to。
Don’t go till I tell you to.
直到我告诉你去,你才可以去。

(2)主语相同, 谓语也相同,则二者都可以省略。His suggestion made John happy,but (his suggestion made) Mary angry.

I wished (that) we could go sightseeing in Hangzhou this summer and that we could buy some books on our way back in Shanghai.我希望我们今年夏天到杭州去玩玩,并在返回的路上到上海买点书。(2)状语从句中的省略

From the blues to pop
Early jazz
Today I will take a brief look at how Western music progressed from the blues to pop. Modern pop music has its roots in the folk songs of black Americans held in slavery. During the early part of the 19th century, black musicians used these folk songs to create a kind of music called the blues, because it had a tendency to be very sad. While the blues was popular, as a musical format it lacked variety and was too sad and slow to dance to.Thus, from the blues, there sprung up a faster, livelier kind of music called jazz.
Louis Armstrong, a black trumpet player and singer, was one of the fathers of jazz.Unlike most musicians who played the music as it was written, he would change the music as he was playing it to reflect his feelings at the time. Other musicians began to copy his style and the liberty he brought to his music.The ability to adapt the music while it is being played is one of the major characteristics of jazz.
From R & B to rock and roll
From the early 1930s to the early 1950s, traditional jazz went into a gradual decline, and was replaced by a new musical trend known as rhythm and blues, or R & B.R & B wasthen—and now—often thought of as a form of African-American music.It combined the fast pace of many kinds of jazz with the older blues sound.During the early 1950s, one particular style of R & B became popular—rock and roll.
One of the first rock and roll musicians was Big Joe Turner.He was a black American singer who had started out performing jazz in the 1920s, and then turned to R & B in the 1940s.In 1954,he recorded one of the very first rock and roll songs, ‘Shake, Rattle and Roll’.
This became a hit on the R & B charts, and then was recorded by Bill Haley and the Comets, a white band, and became a hit on the pop charts.Bill Haley and the Comets then recorded ‘Rock Around the Clock’, which became the number one hit of 1955.‘Rock Around the Clock’caused rock music to be recognized as its own,separate style, and made it popular around the world.
In the early 1950s, a record company owner from Memphis, Tennessee, Sam Philips, sought to bring rock music to white audiences. Because of the prejudice and racial discrimination of the time, he knew that he had to use white singers or the records might not get played on the radio.In 1954, Elvis Presley made his first record for Philips.
Within two years, Presley became the most popular music star in the world, and even today he is known as ‘the King of Rock and Roll’.He had seventeen number one songs and ten number one albums.Only one musical act has sold more records.
1960s pop music
With sales of more than 1 billion records, the British pop group known as the Beatles was the supreme rock and roll band of the 1960s.The Beatles brought Western pop music to audiences around the world. Wherever the Beatles went, there was a phenomenon called ‘Beatlemania’—thousands of fans would surround them, screaming and going crazy
trying to see them.In 1965, the Beatles held a concert at Shea Stadium in New York that was attended by approximately 55,000 people. It was one of the first concerts held in a sports stadium and perhaps the largest concert held up to that time.In many, many ways, the Beatles
were pioneers for what was to come: Nowadays, concerts held in sports stadiums are common, and it seemsthat every few years there is a new boy band trying to bring back the magic of the Beatles.However, even though the Beatles broke up in 1970, no group since has ever come close to being as popular or selling as many records.从蓝调音乐到流行乐
早期爵士乐
今天我将简要地回顾一下西方音乐是如何从蓝调音乐发展到
流行乐的。现代流行音
乐起源于奴隶制时期美
国黑人的民歌。在19世纪早期,黑人音乐家们根据这些民歌创造了一种音乐形式叫“蓝调音乐(又译布鲁斯)”,因为这种音乐往往比较忧伤。尽管蓝调音乐非常受欢迎,但作为一种音乐形式,它缺少变化,而且太伤感、节奏太慢,不适合跳舞时伴奏。因此,从蓝调音乐中发展出一种更轻快、更活泼的音乐形式,叫作爵士乐。
黑人小号手及歌手路易斯·阿姆斯特朗是爵士乐创始人之一。与其他大部分按照写好的乐谱演奏的音乐家不同,他会在演奏时即兴改变原来的曲子,以反映他演奏时的心情。
其他的乐手开始模仿他的风格以及他赋予音乐的自由。在演奏时可以即兴改编音乐成为爵士乐的主要特征之一。
从节奏蓝调到摇滚乐
从20世纪30年代初期到20世纪50年代初期,传统的爵士乐渐渐走向没落,被一种叫作节奏蓝调(节奏布鲁斯摇摆乐)或R&B的新音乐趋势所取代。R&B在当时——以及现在——常常被认为是一种美国黑人音乐的形式。它把多种爵士乐的明快节奏与传统的蓝调音乐融合起来。在20世纪50年代早期,一种特定风格的R&B开始流行——摇滚乐。第一代摇滚乐乐手之一就是胖子乔·特纳。他是一名美国黑人歌手,20世纪20年代开始演奏爵士乐,到20世纪40年代转向表演R&B。 1954年,他录制了最原始的摇滚乐曲之一《晃动、吵闹和摇滚》。
这首乐曲成了R&B歌曲排行榜的轰动曲目,后来比尔·哈利和白人乐队“彗星”重新灌唱了这支乐曲,使它成为流行音乐排行榜上的热门歌曲。比尔·哈利和“彗星”乐队后来又录制了《昼夜摇滚》,这是1955年冠军单曲。《昼夜摇滚》让摇滚乐作为一种特有的、独立的音乐风格为人们所认可,使它在全世界流行起来。
在20世纪50年代早期,一位来自田纳西州孟菲斯城的唱片公司老板萨姆·菲利普斯试图将摇滚乐带给白人听众。由于当时的偏见和种族歧视,他知道他必须启用白人歌手,否则唱片就可能无法在广播中播出。1954年,埃尔维斯·普雷斯利为菲利普斯录制了他的第一张唱片。不到两年,普雷斯利成为世界上最闪耀的流行音乐明星,即使今日,他仍被称为“摇滚乐之王”。他有17首冠军单曲和10张冠军专辑。只有一个音乐组合曾售出更多唱片。
20世纪60年代的流行音乐
拥有超过10亿张的唱片销量,英国流行乐队“披头士”(或译“甲壳虫”)是20世纪60年代首屈一指的摇滚乐队。“披头士”将西方的流行音乐带给了全世界的听众。无论“披头士”到哪里,都会出现一种“披头士狂热”现象——成千的歌迷围住他们,尖叫着,疯狂地想见他们一面。1965年,披头士乐队在纽约谢伊露天体育馆举办了音乐会,大约有五万五千人参加。这是首批在体育馆中举办的音乐会中的一场,可能也是截至当时最大规模的音乐会。
在许多方面,披头士是引领未来的先锋。如今,在体育馆中举办音乐会已经很平常,而且似乎每过几年就会有一个新的男孩乐队出现,尝试重现披头士的魅力。但是,尽管披头士在1970年就解散了,从那以后没有一个乐队能够望其项背.如此受欢迎,并销售出如此多的唱片.

课件14张PPT。Unit 2 The universal language教材背景链接In music one must think with heart and feel with the brain. —Victor Hugo
音乐要用心灵去听,用头脑去感觉。
——维克多·雨果Music has charms to smooth a savage breast,to soften rocks or bend a knotted oak.
—William Congreve,British dramatist
音乐有着抚慰粗野的胸怀、软化顽石或使千年老树弯腰的魅力。
——英国剧作家康格里夫W音乐是潺潺的清泉,音乐是澎湃的大海,音乐是世界上最美妙的语言。
Picture yourself sitting lazily in a lounge bar, having your favorite drink along with a few of your friends. You let off a few jokes, discuss the latest news and trends and let your soul and body relax from the everydaystyle of urban working.Now imagine all this without music! Feel out of place? I bet you do.Even if you don’t recall a single melody or flow of notes, still your subconscious has been catching all the music played in the background. Slowly easing and swaying to the rhythm, you enjoy the atmosphere that is created around.
Music is called the universal language of the world for many reasons.First and the foremost, music is made up of 7 main notes. No matter what part of the world you are in, and what instrument you play, all the music created is one of the 7 notes.There may be different names for all 7 notes in different parts of the world, but for the performer, they are still the same.
Secondly music, being a form of art, can reach the deepest part of your heart and soul.You don’t have to be a patient or a psychologist to understand music.As long as any melody and rhythm make you feel yourself, it is the best doctor a person can find, and bestremedy anyone can recommend.Thirdly music, like any other language, can express any and every type of emotion.But where it scores more is where the words fall short of expressing, music can go on and on voicing all that you ever want to say.
Music therapy is even effective on animals and plants.There have been studies carried out and research done on this and findings show that plants and trees that grow in company of good music show a growth percentage much more than normal ones that live without the aid of music. Animals, too, reflect their behavioral pattern much better when exposed to music.
Music has evolved along with man and its civilization.Old cultures like India, China and some parts of Middle East have a very long history of civilizationand their music is far more intricate and complex than some of their western counterparts.For example, in India, there are 2 main forms of music, distinct in its tonic quality and geographical location.
No matter how much evolved a form of music is or how sophisticated its approach, music touches everyone’s soul.If you do not connect to any music, you probably are losing a part of yourself. Let’s celebrate this form of art with a quote by Shakespeare, “If music be the food of life, play on.”

Visiting the masters
Hi Yang Yan
Here I am in Amsterdam.This trip has been fantastic!As you know,I am with my aunt and grandmother.They are both good artists,and I’m thinking about starting painting myself after I get back.Let me tell you all about our trip.
My grandmother really likes Picasso’s paintings and thinks he is the greatest artist ever,so we started in Spain and went to the city of Málaga,the birthplace of Picasso.Near the house where Picasso was born is a museum full of his art.Málaga is a lovely city and the architecture is beautiful.I was amazed to learn that Picasso had an outputof more than 20,000 pieces of art.He did not just paint,but made sculptures and worked with all kinds of media.He experimented with different styles of painting,but was most famous for his work in Cubism,which often uses acute angles and where the world is represented as being constructed of cubes and rectangles.
Of course,even though Picasso was Spanish,he left Spain while he was still a young and struggling artist,and settled in Paris,France.So,after visiting
Spain,we went to Paris.During our four days in Paris we spent one whole day at the Louvre Museum,where we saw the Mona Lisa,painted by the Italian artist Leonardo da Vinci.He created this work between 1503 and 1506.I was really impressed by this picture of a lady with a mysterious smile.By popular consensus,this is the most valuable painting in the world-it is impossible to calculate what price itwould fetch if it ever came on the market.Besides being a painter,
da Vinci was also an architect,scientist and engineer.He designed many new inventions,including a primitive form of a helicopter and a tank.Besides the works of da Vinci, the Louvre Museum has more than 6,000 other European paintings, ranging from the 13th century to the 19th century. It doesn’t have any modern paintings in it, however.Modern paintings are all kept at the Musée d’Orsay.We went there on our second day in Paris because my aunt was eager to see the works of Claude Monet.
Monet was a French painter who lived between 1840 and 1926. His paintings were typical of a style called Impressionism. With Impressionism, the painter abandons the idea of representing things exactly as they look in a photograph, but seeks to show movement and the feelings of the moment, through the use of colours, light and shadows. Monet loved to paint outdoors, and almost never used a studio. Though when he was younger he painted a wide variety of subjects, when he was older he most often painted the water lilies floating on the surface of the pond in his garden.Yesterday, we went to the Van Gogh Museum, here in Amsterdam. Van Gogh was also a member of the Impressionist Movement. Altogether, he painted about 800 oil paintings and did 1,600 drawings. One of his most famous oil paintings is The Potato Eaters,which he painted in 1885.Among his works, my favourite is Starry Night, which he completed in 1889. Unfortunately,although van Gogh committed his whole being to painting, he received little reward for his effort. His younger brother, Theo, acting as his agent, tried hard to sell van Gogh’s paintings, but could only sell one painting, for 400 francs, before van Gogh died in 1890. Today, van Gogh’s paintings are worth upwards of millions of dollars each.Tomorrow we are off to another museum in Amsterdam. The most famous paintings there are by Rembrandt. He lived from 1606 until 1669. My aunt really wants to see a painting of his called The Night Watch, which was painted in 1642.I’ll tell you more about my trip when I get back.
RegardsLi Ming,参观著名大作
杨彦:你好!
我现在是在阿姆斯特丹。这趟旅行真是妙极了!如你所知,我是与我姑妈和奶奶一起来的。她们都是优秀的艺术家,我在想回去之后我也要开始学画画。让我告诉你有关我们旅行的情况吧。我奶奶非常喜欢毕加索的作品,认为他是有史以来最伟大的艺术家,所以我们从西班牙出发,去了毕加索的出生地马拉加市。在毕加索出生的房子附近有一座博物馆,里面都是他的艺术作品。马拉加是一座可爱的城市,建筑很美。我惊讶地得知,毕加索一生创作了两万多件艺术作品。他不仅绘画,还创作雕塑,利用各种材料创作作品。毕加索尝试过多种不同的绘画风格,但尤以立体派作品著称。立体派作品通常运用锐角,作品中世界被呈现为由立方体和矩形构成。当然,尽管毕加索是西班牙人,但是当他还是一名年轻而又苦苦挣扎的艺术家时,他离开了西班牙,在法国巴黎定居下来。因此,参观西班牙之后,
我们也来到了巴黎。在巴黎的四天当中,我们花一整天参观了卢浮宫。在那里我们欣赏了意大利艺术家列奥纳多·达·芬奇创作的《蒙娜·丽莎》。他于1503年至1506年间创作了这幅作品。这幅带着神秘微笑的女子的画像的确给我留下了深刻的印象。举世公认,这幅画是世界上最珍贵的油画作品——如果这幅画到市场上出售,不可能估算出它可以达到什么价格。达·芬奇不仅是画家,还是建筑师、科学家和工程师。他设计了许多新发明,包括直升飞机和坦克的雏形。
除了达·芬奇的作品,卢浮宫还藏有其他欧洲画家从13世纪到19世纪创作的六千多件作品,然而,它里面没有任何现代作品。现代艺术作品都保存在奥塞美术馆。在巴黎的第二天,我们去了那里,因为我姑妈迫不及待地想去看看克劳德·莫奈的作品。
莫奈是一名法国画家,生于1840年,1926年去世。他的画作是典型的印象派风格印象派画家摒弃了要像拍照一样精确地描绘物体这一观念,而是尝试通过色彩、光线和阴影的运用,表现物体的运动和绘画时瞬间的感受。莫奈喜爱在室外作画,几乎从不使用画室。尽管在较年轻时他画了各种各样的主题,但到岁数大一点时,他最常画的就是他家花园池塘里漂浮的莲花。昨天我们去了位于阿姆斯特丹的凡·高博物馆。凡·高也是印象派画家。凡·高一共画了大约800幅油画和1600幅素
描。他最著名的油画之一是《食土豆者》,创作于1885年。在他的作品中,
我最喜欢的是《星夜》,这幅画是他于1889年完成的。遗憾的是,尽管凡·高全身心地投入绘画,他的努力得到的回报却微乎其微。
他的弟弟西奥作为他的经纪人,竭力推销凡·高的画,但直到1890年凡·高去世,他弟弟只卖出了一幅画,售价400法郎。今天,凡·高的画每一幅都超过数百万美元。明天我们将去阿姆斯特丹的另一座博物馆,那里最著名的是伦勃朗的画。他生于1606年,1669年去世。我姑妈非常想去看看他创作于1642年的《夜巡》。回去之后我会告诉你有关我行程的更多情况。
致礼!

A.besides B.in addition to

解析:选C。句意为“我们除了星期六和星期天以外每天都去上学”。besides和in addition to表示“除了……之外还有”,若选这两项,那么句子的意思就是说上了七天的学,因而可排除;except for表示除了整体中的一点内容,显然在此处并不表达此意,星期六和星期天与其他几天并列而不属于其中的某一个整体,故可排除D项。3A soft eraser will be useful in_case you want to make changes.

Unusual pictures
Someone once said that anything and everything could be used to make art. A few years ago, a picture of Mona Lisa was made out of slices of bread toasted to different colours. It probably smelled good, but it took a long time to do. This web page gives you some ideas that you could use to make unusual pictures. Pizza faces
Put your apron on and get ready to make a pizza face. Now
you can be a chef
and an artist. You can use a variety of different foods to help you make a face. Here are a few ideas.
Use small slices of carrot or pieces of seaweed as hair, and arrange it in the style that you want. Cut up some tomatoes for eyes, pieces of cheese for ears, and a mushroom for a nose. Next, you need to think about the mouth—you could make a smile from a slice of bacon. Other foods you could use to create pizza faces include onion, pineapple,eggplant and ham.Most of these foods are available at your local grocery.
When you have made the face, you can take a photo of it, so that you can keep your unusual picture forever. Once you have taken the photo, you can then cook and eat the pizza face.An artist in the USA once made pizza faces from fruit and vegetables. He took photos of each one and then used these photographs to make birthday cards. Since then he has sold over two million cards. String pictures
To make string pictures, you need some card, thin string and glue. Think about what picture you want to make. Will it be an abstract pattern, or will it be a picture of things, a scene or people? First, use a crayon or pencil to draw the outline of the picture on the card. Next, spread the glue where you want to attach the string. You can make solid shapes by using circles of string. Once the string has dried on the card, you could paint different parts of the string.Feather and seashell pictures
This idea is about creating pictures with feathers and seashells. You will also need glue and some card. Choose small seashells so they will not be very heavy when they are stuck onto the card. Think about the pattern or picture that you want to make. You can lay all the pieces out on the card before you stick them down. You can collect seashells at the beach. Feathers can be found in pillows, pet shops or parks. Rubbish pictures
This may sound disgusting to some, but it is really quite clean and great fun. Every day, we produce lots of rubbish, including different materials like plastic, aluminium,cloth and paper. We can use this rubbish to create pictures. These pictures can be quite heavy, so you should use strong paper or card and very strong glue to stick the rubbish onto the card. Once it is stuck on, you can spray the different sections of the picture with paint.Rubbish prints
Again, this is using rubbish, but this time as paintbrushes. For example, one end of a tin can be dipped into paint and used to make circles on a piece of card. We can use old pieces of cloth as brushes, or wrinkle the cloth together to form an interesting pattern. The shapes and patterns could be repeated. Shapes can be cut out of other rubbish, dipped into the paint and pressed on the card.There are many other things that you can use to make unusual pictures, so why not have a go at some of the ideas above and then try out some ideas of your own?
Have fun!别具一格的图画
曾经有人说过,任何东西都可以用来制作艺术品。几年前,一幅《蒙娜·丽莎》的画是用烘焙成不同颜色的面包片做成的。它闻起来可能会很香,但却花了很长时间去制作。本网页为你提供一些点子,你可以用来制作别具一格的图画。 比萨脸谱
系上你的围裙,做好准备来制作一个比萨脸谱。现在,你既可以是一位大厨,也可以是一名艺术家。你可以用多种不同的食物来帮你制作一张脸谱。这里有一些主意。用一些薄胡萝卜片或者海带碎片作为头发,将它们布置成你想要的风格。切一些西红柿做眼睛,用奶酪片做耳朵,蘑菇做鼻子。接下来,你需要想一想嘴巴——你可以用一片培根做出笑容。其他你可以用来做比萨脸谱的食品包括洋葱、菠萝、茄子和火腿。这些食材大多都可以在你当地的食品店里
找到。
当你做完这张脸谱时,你可以给它拍张照,这样就可以永远保存你这张别具一格的图画。拍完照片之后,你可以烤熟并享用这张比萨脸谱。
美国的一名艺术家曾经用水果和蔬菜来做比萨脸谱。他为每张比萨脸谱拍了照,然后用这些照片做成生日卡片。
从那时起,他已卖了超过两百万张的卡片了。 绳画
要制作绳画,你需要一些卡片、细绳和胶水。想想你要做什么样的画。它会是一幅抽象画,还是静物画、风景画或者人物画呢?首先,用蜡笔或者铅笔在卡片上画出图案的轮廓。然后,在你想要粘绳子的地方涂上胶水。
通过把绳子围成圈,你可以做出实心的形状。一旦绳子在卡片上晾干,你就可以在绳子不同的部位涂颜色了。
羽毛贝壳画
这个想法涉及用羽毛和贝壳来制作图画。你也需要胶水和一些卡片。选择小的贝壳,这样,当它们粘在卡片上之后就不会太重。想想你要做什么样的图案或者图片。你可以在粘贴之前把所有的贝壳都铺放在卡片上。你可以在沙滩上找到贝壳。羽毛可以在枕头里、宠物店或者公园里找到。
垃圾图画
对一些人来说,这听起来可能有点恶心,但这其实相当干净,而且很有趣。每天我们都会制造许多垃圾,包括不同的材料,如塑料、铝箔、布和纸。我们可以利用这些垃圾制作图画。这些图画可能会很重,所以你要用结实的纸或者纸板,而且要用强力的胶水把这些垃圾粘贴到纸板上。一旦它们粘贴好,你就可以在图中的不同区域喷洒颜料了。
垃圾印画
又一次用到了垃圾,不过这次是作为画笔。例如,易拉罐的一端可以蘸上颜料,用来在一张卡片上画圆圈。我们可以用旧布做刷子,或者把布拧在一起弄皱,勾勒出很有意思的图案。这些形状和图案可以反复使用。也可以从其他的垃圾上切下各种形状,
蘸取颜料,压在卡片上。
还有许多其他东西可用来制作出与众不同的图画,所以为什么不尝试上面的一些点子,然后试试你自己独创的点子呢?

The global financial crisis has contributed to a more fierce competition in job markets. Increasing numbers of college graduates are finding themselves in a situation where too many jobseekers are fighting for survival. Our class has had a heated discussion on this problem. Students have different ideas.
70% of them think it makes sense that they realize an early employment by lowering their income expectations,thus reducing the economic burden on their families. They also believe there’re better opportunities for development if they go to work in the west or rural areas. 20% of them consider full employment an unrealistic goal, so they choose to continue their further study or go to vocational schools to learn some practical skills to make better preparations for future careers. Finally,the rest 10 % determine to set up their own businesses.As for me, I think after a series of timely measures taken by the government,we are confident about and capable of overcoming the current difficulties and challenges and the employment prospects for graduates will be better soon. So all we need to do now is plan and act in ways that reflect the reality,to assure that we make full use of our talent and skills.【类文点津】
书面表达经常是表达对一件事不同观点的题目。学生写这类题目最大的困难是容易产生句式单一的问题,学生应将一些不同的表达形式熟记于心,写作时就不会出现此类问题了。课件15张PPT。Unit 3 The world of colours and light教材背景链接When one loves art,no service seems too hard. -O.Henry,American novelist

Room for Revolution:George Washington
and His Philadelphia FriendsMarch 16th,2009~August 30th,2009
Charles Willson Peale’s George Washington at Princeton is on view at the museum which was lent from a private collection.This visually striking and finely made life-size portrait (肖像) recordsWashington’s 6-foot-2-inch figure in a pose highlighting strength,composure, and elegance.It is put up in a room neighboring to the Powel House parlor(会客室),a period room from one of Philadelphia’s greatest eighteenth-century private homes, where Washington was frequently entertained by his friends, Samuel and Elizabeth Powel.Both spaces contain important examples of furniture by Philadelphia’s finest craftsmen,such as Thomas Afflect and John Aitken. Among these is a side chair specially ordered by the Washingtons when living in Philadelphia.
Painted in Philadelphia in 1779,Peale’s painting was immediately sent to Europe to promote Washington’s reputation as a leader and the cause of the American Revolution,then in progress.Later,during Europe’s Napoleonic Wars,a Spanish duke with strong sympathies with American Revolution owned the picture.At that time he added the complicated carved caption to it,which describes Washington as “a liberator of his country who abandoned absolute power”.

Important film events around the world
Host:Welcome to our weekly programme,Movie Magic. Our guests today are representatives from six of the major international film festivals.These spokeswomen and spokesmen will tell us about the festivals they represent.Joining us in the studio are Isabel Rose from the Cannes Film Festival, Hanz Muller from the Berlin International Film Festival, Kathy Barnes from the Sundance Film Festival, Maria Bella from the Venice Film Festival,Mike Taylor from the Toronto International Film Festival and Xu Li from the Shanghai International Film Festival.Welcome, everyone! Maria,do tell us a little about the Venice Film Festival.
Maria:Well, I think it is rather appropriate for me to begin our discussion.The Venice Film Festival is the oldest film festival in the world. It is an annual festival that began in 1932. Our festival is part of a larger festival which applaudscontemporary art. We view film as a particular type of contemporary art.
Host:Kathy, please tell us about the Sundance Film Festival.
Kathy:Unlike the Venice Film Festival, the Sundance Film Festival only includes small, independent films. That is, the main criterion for being included is that the film must not be financed by Hollywood studios.
Maria:Kathy, I don’t like to argue, but in defence of the Venice Film Festival,I have to point out that we don’t just have Hollywood films. Our policy is to include high-quality films regardless of who makes them. We make no restrictions on the kinds of films we show-as long as a film’s quality meets our standards, we include it.Kathy:The Sundance Film Festival deliberately boycotts all Hollywood films,and we don’t foresee ever including them.The initial idea for our festival was hatched back in 1978, when it was known as the Utah/US Film Festival. However, it was not well known until 1981.It was then that Robert Redford became its sponsor and changed the focus to independent films, often made on very modest budgets. It was given its new name-the Sundance Film Festival-in 1991. Redford has acted in and directed many big Hollywood films, but wanted to expose the public to films made outside of the Hollywood system that ordinary people might have no access to otherwise. Nowadays, if a film wins an award at Sundance, there is a good chance it will become famous!Isabel:Cannes is another festival that can make films famous. Many films are first shown to the public at the Cannes Film Festival, and if a film wins, everyone will hear about it. I think it is fair to say that Cannes is the most famous and exciting festival.Hanz:I hate to contradict you, but in recent years, the Cannes Film Festival has shown special favour to American films. Some people remark that it has taken a step backwards, and is beginning to resemble the Academy Awards in Hollywood too much.Isabel:Well, yes, films shown at Cannes are often made with large budgets, and have well-known actors and directors. Many of them are American, but we reject the idea that we have lost our edge as the best international film festival in the world. We always show a broad range of films from many different countries. In fact, the Cannes Film Festival was started in 1939 because many people felt the Venice Film Festival was giving awards to only German and Italian films.Hanz:Well, in my opinion, the Berlin International Film Festival is one of the most international of all the film festivals. Since it began in 1951, we have given awards to films from all around the globe. At our festival,Hollywood films are in the minority,while films that are likely to be overlooked at other festivals,for example at Cannes, have a real chance of becoming champions.Mike:I’m the spokesman for the Toronto International Film Festival, which began in 1976 and soon became one of the major film festivals around the world.Each year, famous actors, actresses and directors come to Toronto, and the entire film world pays attention to who wins. It is the second largest festival in the world-only Cannes is bigger. We show films from many countries, though we do give some special awards to Canadian films.Xu Li:I represent the Shanghai International Film Festival. Our festival was founded in 1993, so we are perhaps the youngest festival. Even though we have only existed a short time, our festival has a good reputation worldwide. We have entries from many different countries and give the ‘Jinjue’ Award, or Golden Cup Award, to the film that we think is the best.全球重要的电影节
主持人:欢迎来到我们每周一期的节目《魅力电影》。我们今天的嘉宾是来自六个主要国际电影节的代表,这些发言人将与我们聊聊他们各自代表的电影节。和我们一起在演播室的嘉宾有:来自戛纳电影节的伊莎贝尔·罗斯,来自柏林国际电影节的汉茨·穆勒,来自圣丹斯电影节的凯西·巴恩斯,来自威尼斯电影节的玛丽亚·贝拉,来自多伦多国际电影节的迈克·泰勒,还有来自上海国际电影节的徐立。欢迎各位!玛丽亚,给我们谈谈威尼斯电影节吧。
玛丽亚:好的,我想让我来开始我们的讨论再合适不过。威尼斯电影节是世界上历史最悠久的电影节。电影节始于1932年,每年举办一次。我们的电影节是一个规模更大的展现当代艺术的文化节的组成部分。我们认为电影是当代艺术的一种特殊形式。
主持人:凯西,请告诉我们圣丹斯电影节的情况吧。
凯西:与威尼斯电影节不同,圣丹斯电影节的入选影片只包括小型的独立制作的影片,也就是说,影片入选的主要标准就是影片必须没有受到好莱坞电影公司的资助。
玛丽亚:凯西,我不想争论,但是我得为威尼斯电影节说句话,我得指出的是我们有的不只是好莱坞影片。我们的政策是选择高质量的影片,而不管是谁制作了它们。我们对展映的影片种类没有限制——只要一部影片的质量符合了我们的标准,我们就会选中它。
凯西:圣丹斯电影节一贯刻意抵制所有的好莱坞影片,我们预期今后也不会让它们参展。我们电影节最初的想法诞生于1978年,当时它被称为犹他州/美国电影节。但是它直到1981年才广为人知。那时罗伯特·雷德福成为电影节的赞助商,他将电影节的重点转移到独立制作的影片,这些电影往往依靠非常有限的预算制作。1991年,电影节被重新命名为圣丹斯电影节。雷德福曾出演并执导过许多好莱坞大片,但是他希望能让大众接触好莱坞体系之外制作的影片,否则这些影片很多普通人可能没有机会看到。现在,
如果一部电影能在圣丹斯电影节获得奖项,它就很可能一举成名!伊莎贝尔:戛纳电影节是另一个可以让电影成名的电影节。许多电影在戛纳电影节上都是首次向公众放映。如果一部影片在戛纳电影节上获奖,那么人人都会知道它。我认为可以公平地说,戛纳电影节是知名度最高、最激动人心的电影节。汉茨:我并不想反驳你,但是近几年,
戛纳电影节对美国影片情有独钟。一些人评论说它在退步,而且开始太多地模仿好莱坞奥斯卡金像奖。
伊莎贝尔:嗯,是这样的,戛纳电影节展出的电影通常都有大预算,有知名演员和导演。其中许多都是美国影片,但我们反对这种观点:我们已经在世界上丧失了我们作为最佳国际电影节的优势。我们一直都在展映来自许多不同国家风格迥异的影片。事实上,戛纳电影节创立于1939年,就是因为当时许多人觉得威尼斯电影节只给德国和意大利电影颁奖。
汉茨:嗯,我认为,柏林国际电影节是所有电影节中最国际化的一个。自从1951年创办以来,我们已为来自全球各地的影片颁奖。在我们的电影节上,好莱坞影片只占少数,而在别的电影节(例如戛纳电影节)上可能被忽视的影片,则有真正夺魁的机会。
迈克:我是多伦多国际电影节的发言人。多伦多电影节创立于1976年,很快
就成为了世界最重要的电影节之一。每年,著名的演员和导演汇集多伦多,
整个电影界都会关注谁得奖。它是世界上第二大电影节——仅次于戛纳电影节。我们的电影节展播许多国家的影片,但我们的确颁发一些特别奖给加拿大电影。徐立:我代表上海国际电影节。我们的电影节创立于1993年,因此我们可能是最年轻的电影节。尽管存在的时间短,我们的电影节却在全世界享有很好的声誉。我们有许多不同的国家送展的影片,并为我们认为是最佳的影片颁发金爵奖。课件65张PPT。Section Ⅱ Word power & Grammar and usage速效提能演练语法专题突破 Section Ⅱ重点难点探究重点难点探究1When they are,they are shot on location,which means that real streets,trees and buildings are used.

Harry, a sensitive young boy who has a scar on his forehead, has been living with his relatives, the Dursleys. His uncle abuse him; his aunt ignores him, and his cousin hates him. At first, Harry thinks that his parents were killed in a car crash when he was a baby. However, he later finds out that his father was a wizard and that his mother was a witch,both of whom were murdered by an evil wizard-the same wizard who gave Harry the scar.
Harry discovers that he possesses a wizard’s powers too, and that he already has a reputation in the world of witches and wizards because of his parents.
Hagrid (played by Robbie Coltrane) is a very large person who works at Hogwarts, a special institution for young witches and wizards. He comes to rescue Harry from the Dursleys and take him to the school. They have a few adventures along the way, and Harry is introduced to a whole new world he never knew about-the world of magic. The world of ordinary people exists parallel to the world of magic, but the ordinary people are not aware of it.On the train to school, Harry makes two new friends, Ron Weasley (played by Rupert Grint) and Hermione Granger (played by Emma Watson). Together they learn about their new school and the special curriculum there. Harry has contradictory feelings about his new life. At first, he enjoys it, but later he learns that the evil wizard, Voldemort, is the one who killed his parents.Harry and his partners have a fierce battle with Voldemort to save themselves and their magic world.The film is full of special effects.Watching Harry zoom around on a flying broom could make you feel dizzy,and the school
sport of Quidditch is
fantastic. The effects are all made with the computer, and are really exciting to watch.
All of this is wonderful, but the best part of the film is the acting. This is surprising as the three young actors playing the characters of Harry, Ron and Hermione did not have much experience as actors before making this film.The skill with which these three become their characters is one of the film’smain attractions. They do very well even compared with the adult actors,such as Alan Rickman(Professor Snape), Richard Harris (Headmaster Dumbledore) and Maggie Smith (Professor McGonagall).
J. K. Rowling, the author of the Harry Potter books, approved the final script of the film. However, many people have complained that the film is too long. At 142 minutes, it is almost a half hour longer than an average film.While the sport of Quidditch is a vital part of the book and of Harry’s school experience, I feel that too much timeis devoted in the film to showing it. I think this is more to show off the special effects than to help the film’s plot.Also, it disappoints me that several interesting scenes are not shown in the film.Many people also complain that the film has a tendency to spend too much time showing Harry’s life with the Dursleys. This shows that the film-makers did not give enough thought to who the audience of the film would be. Most people who went to see the film had read the book before going to the cinema. They would already know that Harry is not happy with the Dursleys.The important and interesting parts of the film occur in the world of magic. Much of this early part of the film could have been skipped, and more time could have been spent at Hogwarts.
Even with these slight drawbacks, Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone is still a great film, and I certainly recommend it!《哈利·波特与魔法石》(2001)
多么令人惊叹的一部电影啊!谁没有梦想过发现自己实际上是特别的而且是出名的大人物?这个幻想对哈利·波特(丹尼尔·拉德克利夫饰)来说就是现实。哈利是个敏感的小男孩,他的额头上有一块伤疤,他一直与他的亲戚德思礼一家生活在一起。他的姨父虐待他,
姨妈不重视他,表兄讨厌他。起初哈利认为他的父母是在他还是婴儿的时候死于一场车祸。但是后来哈利发现他的父亲是位巫师,母亲是名女巫,他们都是被一名邪恶的巫师(也就是给哈利留下伤疤的那个巫师)杀害。 哈利发现自己也拥有巫师的神奇魔力,而且由于他父母的缘故,他在魔法界已经很有名。
海格(罗比·科特瑞恩饰)非常高大,在霍格沃茨魔法学校工作。霍格沃茨魔法学校是一所为年轻巫师而设的特别学校。海格从德思礼家中救出哈利,把他带到学校。一路上,他们经历了一些奇遇,哈利被带到了他以前从来不知道的全新世界——魔法世界。普通人生活的世界与魔法世界并存,但是普通人却没有意识到魔法世界的存在。 在去魔法学校的火车上,哈利结识了两位新朋友,罗恩·韦斯莱(鲁珀特·格林特饰)和赫敏·格兰杰(埃玛·沃森饰)。他们一起了解了他们的新学校和那里的特殊课程。对于新生活,哈利有一种矛盾的心情。起初,他很喜欢新生活,但是后来,他知道了邪恶巫师伏地魔就是杀死他父母的人。为了拯救自己和魔法世界,
哈利和他的伙伴们与伏地魔展开了激烈的斗争。
电影充满特技。看着哈利骑在飞天扫帚上疾驰会让你觉得眩晕,而魔法学校的魁地奇运动则荒诞不经。所有的特技都是用电脑制作,看起来真是激动人心。
这一切都非常精彩,但这部电影最好的部分是演员的演技。真的令人惊讶,
因为在影片中扮演哈利、罗恩和赫敏的三位小演员在出演这部电影之前并没有多少表演经验。
这三位演员扮演角色时所表现出来的技巧是这部电影的主要亮点之一。即使与成人演员相比,例如艾伦·里克曼(饰演斯内普教授)、理查德·哈里斯(饰演邓布利多校长)和玛吉·史密斯(饰演麦格教授),三位小演员也表现极佳。 哈利·波特系列的作者J.K.罗琳认可了最终的电影剧本。然而,许多人抱怨电影太长了。142分钟,比一般的电影几乎要长半个小时。虽然魁地奇运动是书中很重要的一部分,也是哈利在魔法学校经历中很重要的一部分,但我还是觉得影片用了太长的时间来表现它。我认为这更多地炫耀电影的特技,而不是有助于表现电影的情节。
还有,一些有趣的场景没有在电影中表现出来,这一点令我失望。
许多人还抱怨电影有意花了太多的时间来描述哈利与德思礼一家在一起的生活。这表明电影制作人并没有充分考虑到电影的观众会是谁。去看电影的大多数人在这之前都已经读过书
了。他们已经知道哈利与德思礼一家在一起时是不开心的。影片最重要、最有趣的部分发生在魔法世界,电影开始部分的很多地方本可跳过,更多的时间本可花在霍格沃茨魔法学校。
虽然存在这些小缺陷,《哈利·波特与魔法石》仍然是一部很棒的电影,我当然要推荐它!写作专题突破【写作要求】

Ladies and gentlemen,
The topic of my speech today is “Film or book,which do you prefer?” Some of us think that it is better to see the film than to read the book in the original. The reason is that it takes less time to understand the whole story. What’s more, the film is much more interesting and easier to understand than the book.However,some others have just the opposite opinion. They think that they can get more detailed information from the original. Meanwhile, the language in the book is possibly more lively and beautiful.As far as I’m concerned, I prefer reading the original work. In my opinion, books lead us to think,while seeing the film makes us lazy. Besides, reading the original work can also improve our reading skills. In a word,to read the original work is better than to see the film based on it.
That’s all. Thank you for listening!

一个人一生可以爱上很多的人,等你获得真正属于你的幸福之后,你就会明白以前的伤痛其实是一种财富,它让你学会更好地去把握和珍惜你爱的
人。One may fall in love with many people during the lifetime.When you finally get your own happiness,you will understand the previous sadness is kind of treasure,which makes you better to hold and cherish the people you love.2.《飞屋环行记》
幸福,不是长生不老,不是大鱼大肉,
不是权倾朝野。幸福是每一个微小的生活愿望达成。当你想吃的时候有得吃,想被爱的时候有人来爱你。Happiness is not about being immortal nor having food or rights in one’s hand. It’s about having each tiny wish come true,or having something to eat when you are hungry or having someone’s love when you need love.Film class
我们用心拍摄属于自己的青春故事What makes a good movie?A famous director,well-known actors,or a complicated plot?The 26-minute movie Carry Your Dream Through to the End (《将梦想进行到底》)doesn’t have any of these things.Yet it has won thousands of young people’s hearts.Three Senior 3 students Shen Xiong,Lai Lunhao,and Peng Yunbo from Xiangtan No.2 High School in Hunan province,made the movie all by themselves during summer vacation.“Shooting a movie at high school is an experience that I will never forget as long as I live,”said the director Lai proudly.
The plot of the movie is simple. It describes how Senior 3 student Zhou Zixi pursues his dream of becoming a top broadcaster(播音员)and host.He keeps going despite the difficulties he meets along the way — his father loses his job and Zhou does not pass the college entrance examination.
“The character is a reflection of ourselves,” said Shen,who wrote the script and played the main character.“To make myself breathe steadily,I try to do 100 push-ups every day,just like Zhou does in the movie,”Shen recalled.“I never think of quitting.I dream of going to the Central Academy of Drama.”Shen and his two friends take acting,playwriting(编剧)and directing courses in addition to other senior high school subjects.The movie was a way for them to practice their professional skills at the same time as pursuing their dreams,so they decided to give it an inspiring theme.“It’s all about youth and dreams.So no romantic love,
then,”Peng said jokingly.
But shooting a movie is not easy— especially when all you have is a camera,a DV and a couple of tripods(三脚架).The boys went around almost the whole city to find the right place to
act .They talked to classmates and passengers and asked them to help out.They persuaded a number of shops to sponsor(赞助)the movie.Almost two months of hard work has paid off.The movie has been clicked more than 10,000 times on the Internet.In one scene,Zhou is riding a bicycle across a long bridge.The famous music from Old Boys(《老男孩》)plays in the background.“Dreams are always so far away.Should I give up?...”In shooting the film,the three boys have answered this question—they’ll never give up.
