Module 2 Fantasy Literature Philip Pullman Section Ⅰ Introduction & Reading-Pre-reading
The very first recorded literary worksin historywere fantasy: Homer'sOdyssey, TheBookofaThousandNightsandaNight and countless others.Modern literature formsare based on them.
Fantasy is particularly the only form of literature that has no clear boundaries between adult fiction and children's fiction. Lewis Garroll's books Alice'sAdventuresinWonderlandandThroughtheLookingGlass, for instance were published over 100 years ago. The books were in fact written for a child — the original Alice, who was the daughter of a friend of Carroll's.However, they are just as often read by adults looking for an escape back to a simple time.A more modern example is J.K.Rowling's Harry Potter series, which have caused a revolution in the publishing world.While these again are aimed ata youth market, they have become a fashion for people of all ages.
Recently, fantasy has enjoyed popularity (流行). The main reason for the popularity is the success of The Lord of the Rings series of films. Fantasy novel sales have benefited from social change, with the original The Lord of the Rings novels, the Harry Potter series becoming a force on bestseller lists. Even more recently, a work of historical fantasy, Dan Brown's TheDaVinciCode, has caught the imagination of the world.The novel was on top of TheNewYorkTimes' hardcover fiction bestseller list on April 11, 2005. It is clear that fantasy is showing no signs of reducing in popularity.

The Cat That Vanished①
Will was stupefied② with exhaustion③, and he might have gone④ on to the north, or he might have laid⑤ his head on the grass under one of those trees and slept; but as he stood trying to clear⑥ his head⑦, he saw a cat.
She was a tabby⑧, like Moxie. She padded⑨ out of a garden on the Oxford side of the road, where Will was standing⑩. Will put down? his shopping bag and held out? his hand, and the cat came up to?rub? her head against? his knuckles?, just as Moxie did. Of course, every cat behaved? like that, but all the same Will felt such a longing? to turn for home that? tears scalded? his eyes.

消失的猫
[第1~2段译文]
威尔累得脑子都木了,他本可以继续向北走,也有可能在某棵树下头枕草地昏昏睡去;但是,正当他站在那儿,尽力让头脑清醒些的时候,他看见了一只猫。
那是一只母斑猫,就像(威尔家的)莫克西一样。它轻轻地走出靠着牛津一侧街道上的一个花园,威尔正站在街边。他放下购物袋,伸出手,那只猫跑过来用头在他的指关节上磨蹭,正如莫克西所做的那样。当然,所有的猫都是那样的。尽管如此,威尔还是渴望回家,以至于他热泪盈眶。
Eventually this cat turned away. This was night, and there was a territory topatrol, there were mice to hunt. She padded across the road and towards the bushes just beyond the hornbeam trees, and there she stopped.
Will, still watching, saw the cat behave curiously.
She reached out a paw to pat something in the air in front of her, something quite invisible to Will. Then she leapt backwards, back arched and fur on end, tail held out stiffly. Will knew cat-behaviour. He watched more alertly as the cat approached the spot again, just an empty patch of grass between the hornbeams and the bushes of a garden hedge, and patted the air once more.

[第3~5段译文]
最终,这只猫转身跑开了。正值夜晚,它还要巡视自己的领地,捕捉老鼠。它轻轻地穿过马路,朝着角树林另一边的灌木丛走去,然后在那儿停了下来。,威尔继续盯着它,看到猫行为怪异。,它伸出爪子去拍打它面前空气中的某种东西,某种威尔完全看不见的东西。然后它向后一跃,脊背拱起,毛发竖立,尾巴僵直地伸着。威尔了解猫的习性。他更加警觉地看着,只见那只猫再次靠近那个地方——角树与花园树篱的灌木丛之间的一块空草地,又拍打了一下那里的空气。
Again she leapt back, but less far and with less alarm this time. After another few seconds of sniffing, touching, whisker-twitching, curiosityovercamewariness.
The cat stepped forward, and vanished.
Will blinked. Then he stood still, close to the trunk of the nearest tree, as a truck came round the circle and swept its lights over him. When it had gone past he crossed the road, keeping his eyes on the spotwhere the cat had been investigating. It wasn't easy, because there was nothing to fix on, but when he came to the place and cast about to look closely, he saw it.

[第6~8段译文]
它再次向后一跃,但这次跳得没有那么远,也没有那么害怕了。又是几秒钟的嗅来嗅去、爪子触碰、胡须抽动,终于好奇心战胜了警惕性。,那只猫向前一迈,然后就消失了。,威尔眨了眨眼睛。然后他站着不动,紧靠离他最近的一棵树的树干,这时一辆卡车转弯驶过来,车灯照到他的身上。卡车开过去后,他穿过马路,眼睛盯着那只猫一直在打量的地方。这并不容易,因为他无法把目光集中在某件东西上。但是当他靠近那个地方并仔细观察时,他看到了它。
At least, he saw it from some angles. It looked as if someone had cut a patch out of the air, about two metres from the edge of the road, a patch roughlysquare in shape and less than a metre across. If you were level with the patch so that it was edge-on, it was nearly invisible, and it was completely invisible from behind. You could only see it from the side nearest the road, and you couldn't see it easily even from there, because all you could see through it was exactly the same kind of thing that lay in front of it on this side: a patch of grass lit by a street light.
But Will knew without the slightest doubt that that patch of grass on the other side was in a different world.
He couldn't possibly have said why. He knew it at once, as strongly as he knew that fire burned and kindness was good. He was looking at something profoundlyalien.
at least至少 at most至多
It looked as if ...看上去似乎……
edge/ed?/n.边,边缘
roughly/'r?flI/adv.大概地,粗略地
square/skwe?/adj.正方形的
shape/?eIp/n.形状, in shape在形状上
level/'levl/adj.同高度的
so that it was edge-on是结果状语从句。
you could see through it是定语从句,修饰不定代词all,省略关系词that。
that引导定语从句,修饰the same kind of thing。
过去分词短语作定语,修饰a patch of grass。
without the slightest doubt“毫不怀疑地”,其后的that引导同位语从句。
as ...as ...“像……一样……”,引导比较状语从句。
profoundly/pr?'fa?ndlI/adv.极度地
alien/'eIlI?n/adj.陌生的
[第9~11段译文]
至少,他从某些角度看到了。那儿看上去就像有人在距离路边大约两米的地方将空间切开了一块,它大体呈方形,边长不到一米。如果你与那块空间处在同等高度,从侧面看你几乎看不到它,从后面则完全看不见它。只有从最靠近马路的一边才能看到它,但也很难看清楚,因为透过它,你所看到的一切与这一边的完全相同:被一盏街灯照亮的一片草地。,但是威尔深信不疑,另一边的那块草地在一个不同的世界里。,他不可能说得出所以然来。他只是马上就知道了,就好像他知道火会燃烧、善意是美好的一样。他所注视着的是某种完全陌生的东西。
And for that reason alone, it enticed him to stoop and look further. What he saw made his head swim and his heart thump harder, but he didn't hesitate: he pushed his shopping bag through, and then scrambled through himself, through the hole in the fabric of this world and into another.
He found himself standing under a row of trees. But not hornbeam trees: these were tall palms, and they were growing, like the trees in Oxford, in a line along the grass. But this was the centre of a broad boulevard, and at the side of the boulevard was a line of cafés and small shops, all brightly lit, all open, and all utterly silent and empty beneath a sky thick with stars. The hot night was laden with the scent of flowers and with the salt smell of the sea.
entice/In'taIs/v.吸引,诱使
stoop/stu?p/v.俯身,弯腰
swim/swIm/v.眩晕,头昏眼花
thump/θ?mp/v.(由于生气、恐惧或兴奋等心脏)怦怦直跳
hesitate v.犹豫,迟疑
push ...through把……推过去
scramble/'skr?mbl/v.爬,攀
fabric/'f?brIk/n.结构,框架
palm/pɑ?m/n.棕榈树
boulevard/'bu?l??vɑ?d/n.林阴大道,大街
utterly/'?t?li/adv.完全地,绝对地
beneath prep.在……之下
(be) thick with ...充满/布满……的
be laden with(空气中)充溢着(某种味道)的
[第12~13段译文]
仅仅是那一个理由,就足以吸引着他俯下身子向更深处望去。他看到的一切使他头晕目眩,心跳加速,但是他却没有迟疑:他把购物袋塞了过去,继而自己也钻了过去——穿过现实世界框架上的这个洞,进入了另一个世界。,他发现自己站在一排树下。这是一些高大的棕榈树,而不是角树。像在牛津的一样,那些树木沿着草地排列成行。只是,他所处的是一条宽阔的马路的中央,路的一侧是一排咖啡馆和小商店,灯火通明,还在营业,在布满繁星的夜空下,所有的店铺都静悄悄地,无人光顾。在这个炎热的晚上,空气中弥漫着鲜花的芳香和海水咸咸的味道。
Will looked around carefully. Behind him the full moon shone down over a distant prospect of great green hills, and on the slopes at the foot of the hills there were houses with rich gardens and an open parkland with groves of trees and the white gleam of a classical temple.
Just beside him was that bare patch in the air, as hard to see from this side as from the other, but definitely there. He bent to look through and saw the road in Oxford, his own world. He turned away with a shudder: whatever this new world was, it had to be better than what he'd just felt. With a dawninglight-headedness, the feeling that he was dreaming but awake at the same time, he stood up and looked around for the cat, his guide.
prospect/'pr?spekt/n.视野,景象,景色
slope/sl??p/n.斜坡,斜面
parkland/'pɑ?k?l?nd/n.公共绿地
grove/gr??v/n.(尤指树木排列成行的)树丛
gleam/ɡli?m/n.亮光,反光
bare/be?/adj.光秃秃的
as ...as ...表示“和……一样……”。
bend/bend/v.弯腰,屈身
shudder/'??d?/n.战栗,发抖
whatever this new world was是让步状语从句。
dawning/'d??nI?/adj.开始出现的,开始发展的
light-headedness/?laIt'hedIdn?s/n.头晕,眩晕
dream/dri?m/v.做梦
awake/?'weIk/adj.醒着的,清醒的
that引导同位语从句,说明feeling的具体内容。
look around for四处寻找
[第14~15段译文]
威尔仔细地环顾四周。在他身后,满月映照着远处壮丽的青山的轮廓,山脚下的斜坡上坐落着带有美丽花园的房子,还有一块树木丛生的公共绿地,一座古典风格的庙宇在其上闪着微微的白光。,空气中的那个空洞就在他身边,无论是从这边还是那边都很难看见,但确定无疑地存在着。俯身向空洞的那一边望去,他看到了自己的世界——牛津的街道。他不禁一颤,转过身来:无论这个新世界如何,总会好过他刚刚离开的那个世界。带着逐渐出现的眩晕感觉,那种处在半梦半醒之间的感觉,他站起身来环顾四周寻找他的向导——那只猫。

Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Fantasies for young readers really began with the fairy tales of writers such as the Brothers Grimm. Of course, all the children who grow up reading these books and tales never, at heart, really grow up at all, for such wonderful stories are forever carved in their minds. And fairy tales are as much fun to read when we are fifty, only for memorable reasons, as they were when we were children.
But it's obvious these days that fantasies aren't only for the little ones. In 1977, 23 years after TheLordoftheRings by Tolkien was published, Terry Brooks published his first novel, TheSwordofShannara. It became the first work of fiction ever to appear on TheNewYorkTimes trade paperback bestseller list, where it remained for over five months. Following the release of Tolkien's work, earlier works of fantasy, like T.H. White's TheOnceandFutureKing and E.R. Eddison's TheMezentianGate (in 1958) came out before TheSwordofShannara, but neither had an influence quite like TheSwordofShannara. Fantasies were truly reborn.
As the popularity of fantasies began to grow quickly, the film and television industry climbed_aboard_the_bandwagon. During the 1980s, the fantasy/adventure movie was born. DetectiveConan is a classic to the 1980s. Other less memorable films can still be found in video stores. The lack of really good fantasy movies in the recent past can be blamed on substandard (低于标准的) special effects. However, now, in an age of post-modern computer technology, the impossible is no longer a concern. Since the release and popularity of TheLordoftheRings, cinema screen production rights have been purchased for scores of fantasy novels, from Terry Brooks to Robert Jordan.
The future of fantasies has never looked so assured. Even children's cinema has had its own successes through the big screen release of the Harry Potter series and the classic Peter Pan. While there remains a choice to go beyond the reality we know, there will always be fantasies.

A homeless man will have his Christmas wish come true when he sits down for dinner with his family for the first time in 12 years after being reunited with them through Facebook.
George Cunningham told Lee, a photographer, that his main concern over the holidays would simply be finding somewhere he could sit down and have a Christmas dinner. “I'm homeless and travelling around to any town that has shelter for the homeless people so that I can get a bed for the night. If I had to sleep out in this cold weather, I'd be dead already,” he said. Lee told SkyNews that he thought the man's simple Christmas wish was pretty amazing.
When George's photograph was put on the Facebook page, which posts images of ordinary Irish men and women, the response was surprising with dozens of people offering to pay for his meal or even host him themselves.
One day, Lee was contacted (联系) by George's sister, who had not communicated with her brother for 12 years. She wanted to invite George home for the holidays, but Lee had no way to contact George in Kinsale, a small fishing port in County Cork. “I have to ring around the town and get someone to find him,” he told SkyNews. Finally someone found him and he rang him up.
This year, George will go home to spend Christmas with his family. But the offers of help haven't ended there. A hotel administrator near his family home said George could spend a night there if he wanted and a clothes store also offered him a new suit for the big reunion.
George said it was all hard to believe that after his photo was put on the Internet, he suddenly started getting offers of meals and stuff.
语篇解读:一个12年无家可归的人,通过网络找到了家人,并将实现自己多年的圣诞晚餐愿望。

6.We can infer from the passage that ________.
A.George sometimes had no bed for the night
B.many people recognized George from the Facebook
C.George didn't have a Christmas dinner with his family for 12 years

C
Ever wonder why playgrounds only belong to children? When you reach your mid-twenties, you aren't expected to enjoy yourself as freely as you would in your teenage years. Why is such enjoyment limited to a particular age group only? A major culprit has to be our society's tradition about sticking to life's goals and advancing in a career path. But today, we'll be shifting our attention towards a less-known reason — the absence of playing equipment for older generations.
The fix is easy and difficult at the same time. Easy, because the obvious way of rectifying (纠正) the matter would be to have playground equipment for adults placed in parks and on playgrounds with ones meant for younger generations. And it is difficult because not many companies make such play-structures and encouraging older people to frequent such locations is a hard task. Not many people would like to leave a few hours out of their already-busy routines to play. However, some companies have started installing (安装) play-structures big and strong enough for average-sized adults.
Could gyms provide the service? It depends on how you plan to use the gym-space for recreational purposes and mostly, they're used to gain fitness only. And none of the time spent at the gym for this reason is considered to be recreational since it is not fun at all. When was the last time you saw somebody dead lifted 150 pounds? Never.
But if you modernize gyms and aim to provide activities other than, or alongside, fitness ones, then yes, gyms could be used for recreational and fun purposes. We've already seen examples including pool tables, badminton and squash (壁球) spaces in gyms and they are all great ways to get new adults and older people to have fun on a regular basis like children.
语篇解读:游乐场地并非孩子们的专属,成年人也应该从繁忙的生活中抽出时间来享受玩耍的乐趣。
9.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “culprit” in Paragraph 1?
A.React. B.Effect.
C.Cause. D.Crime.
解析:选C 词义猜测题。根据画线词前面的问句可知,画线词所在句子是在解释原因:人们普遍觉得大人们更应该致力于人生目标与事业,而不是玩耍。故选C项。
10.According to Paragraph 2, why is it easy to solve the problem?
A.Because many people prefer to play on the playground.
B.Because the solution to the problem is easy to find.
C.Because children are willing to share the playground with others.
D.Because companies have produced play-structures for adults.
解析:选B 细节理解题。根据第二段第二句可知,如果说容易,是因为解决成年人不能在游乐场地娱乐的问题的方法是显而易见的,那就是在游乐场地安放适合成年人娱乐的器材。
11.Which of the following best describes the relation between the paragraphs?
解析:选A 文章结构题。文章第一段提出成年人缺乏娱乐的问题,后三段提出了解决方法,即:在游乐场地(第二段)和健身房(第三、四段)安装适合成年人娱乐的器材。
12.Which of the following statements will the author mostly agree to?
A.The government should provide playing equipment for adults.
B.Gyms should be modernized to satisfy all age groups' needs.
C.The playground should be provided for children only.
D.It's a waste of money to go to professional gyms.
解析:选B 推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句可知,作者认为应该让健身房现代化以便满足所有年龄段人们的需求。
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
Cleaning is necessary to enjoy the feeling after you clean — when everything is clean and in order. You feel better about yourself because you were productive and accomplished something that is beneficial to everyone in your household. Many people believe that cleaning is boring and tiring. __1__
__2__ To make things easier on you if you have a full day of other activities, clean a little bit at a time. For example, dust all of your furniture one day and then clean your floors the next. Or find something else that needs to be done.
Turn on your favorite music (CDs, radios, music videos on TV, etc.). Just let it all out. Dance, sing, and act crazy. __3__ Have some fun-act silly. You might like it. And it makes the tasks more manageable.
__4__ You'll feel more organized when you have a list to follow. The feeling of accomplishment of your goals is also rewarding. And when you've done with the list, reward yourself by doing something fun.
Cleaning doesn't always have to be drudgery (苦差事). The biggest tip I can give is not to let things get piled up and disgustingly (讨厌地) dirty. __5__ Do the things that need to be done routinely so that you won't have even more work to do when you get down to cleaning.
A.Cleaning doesn't have to be done in full all at one time, unless you want it to.
B.So you should enjoy cleaning your house and make others happy.
C.Write down a list of things that are the most important to do for that cleaning session.

The Story of J.K. Rowling and Harry Potter
The elder stateswoman① of British fantasy literature is J.K. Rowling, the gifted② creator of Harry Potter. Joanne Rowling's roots③ are in the southwest of England, where she grew up④. But the idea for Harry Potter came to her⑤while she was on a delayed train⑥ between Manchester and London. She wrote down⑦ her ideas on the back of an envelope. She then went to teach English in Portugal, where she continued to add flesh⑧ to the bones of the first Harry Potter story⑨. But her name is forever associated with⑩ Edinburgh in Scotland, where she lived and developed the format? for the whole series of seven books?.

J.K.罗琳与哈利·波特的故事
[第1段译文]
哈利·波特的天才般的创造者——J.K.罗琳,是英国魔幻文学的元老。乔安妮·罗琳在老家——英格兰西南部长大。而关于哈利·波特的想法是在从曼彻斯特开往伦敦的一列晚点的火车上闯入她的脑海的。她在一个信封的背面写下了她的想法。随后她前往葡萄牙教英语,在那里她继续给她的第一部哈利·波特小说的框架添加情节。但是她的名字却永远与苏格兰的爱丁堡联系在一起,她生活在那儿,并在那儿把整个系列7本书的框架构思出来。
There are many anecdotes? about how, in 1990, J.K. Rowling began the first draft? of HarryPotterandthePhilosopher'sStone. She had the extra burden? of looking after her baby daughter while she worked, and because she was too poor to? own a typewriter, she wrote by hand?. She spent many hours over a single cup of coffee in a warm cafeteria in Edinburgh because she had no money to pay for? the heating? at home.
Success was not swift? and Rowling might have given up. But she was stubborn and overcame all the difficulties. It was only in 1997 that she completed the first Harry Potter story, which, because the publishers in the USA requested an adjustment to the title, was also known as HarryPotterandtheSorcerer'sStone.
Rowling always intended that her output would be a book every year until she had finished the series. In fact, it took her about ten years to complete. But after the first book, the success of each of the following titles was automatic. The fifth book, TheOrderofthePhoenix sold about seven million copiesthe day it was published.
?anecdote/'?nIk?d??t/n.趣闻,轶事
?draft/drɑ?ft/n.草稿

intend v.打算, intend to do sth.打算做某事
output/'a?t?p?t/n.(文学等的)作品数量
It takes sb. some time to do sth.做某事花费了某人多长时间。
automatic/???t?'m?tIk/adj.自动的,习惯性的,自然发生的
the day相当于连词,在此引导时间状语从句。
publish v.发行,出版
[第2~4段译文]
关于J.K.罗琳1990年如何开始她的第一部《哈利·波特与哲学家的石头》的初稿有许多奇闻。她工作时还有另外一个责任——照看她幼小的女儿。由于她太穷,买不起打字机,因此她用手写。因为付不起家里的暖气费,她在爱丁堡一家温暖的自助餐厅里,要花好长时间才喝完一杯咖啡(以便在此期间写她的小说)。
成功不是一蹴而就的,罗琳本可能会放弃。但她是顽强的,她克服了所有的困难。直到1997年她才完成第一部哈利·波特小说。由于美国的出版商要求调整书名,这本书也被称作《哈利·波特与魔法石》。
罗琳一直计划每年出一本书直到完成整个系列。事实上,她却花了大约10年的时间来完成。但是第一本书问世之后,该系列接下来的每一本书的成功就显得自然而然了。第5本书《凤凰社》仅在发行的当天就售出了约700万册。
Rowling's style has been a target for some criticism, but what makes the books so important is that, because they appeal to readers of all ages, they create a special literary bond between parents and children. In an age of computer games and television programmes, it is also claimed they are responsible for a renewed interest in reading. Harry Potter has even become part of the school curriculum, much to the pleasure of the schoolchildren.
And the Harry Potter effect is not just restricted to the English-speaking world. Rowling's books have been translated into more than 55 languages, and it has been estimated that more than 250 million copies have been distributedaround the world. In 2005 it was estimated that Rowling hadaccumulated more than one billion dollars on deposit in her bank. She has thusattained the status of being the first writer to become a billionaire.

status/'steIt?s/n.身份,地位
billionaire/?bIlj?'ne?/n.亿万富翁,巨富
[第5~6段译文]
罗琳的写作风格成了一些批评的对象,但是这些书之所以重要是因为它们在父母和孩子之间建立起了一条特殊的文学纽带,因为它们吸引了各个年龄段的读者。同时,也证实了在电脑游戏和电视节目时代,它们掀起了新的读书热潮。哈利·波特甚至已经成为了学校课程的一部分,这使得学生们特别开心。,哈利·波特的影响不仅仅局限于讲英语的国家。罗琳的书已被翻译成55种以上的语言版本,据估计,全世界已售出超过2.5亿册。2005年,估计罗琳的银行存款累计已超过10亿美元。因此她成了第一位亿万富翁作家。

Extract from The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe
And then she saw that there was a light ahead of⑩ her; not a few inches away where the back of the wardrobe ought? to have been, but a long way off. Something cold and soft was falling on her. A moment later she found that she was standing in the middle of a wood at nighttime ?with snow under her feet and snowflakes falling through the air?.
Lucy felt a little frightened?, but she felt very inquisitive? and excited as well?. She looked back over her shoulder? and there, between the dark tree trunks, she could still see the open doorway of the wardrobe and even catch a glimpse of? the empty room ?from which she had set out?. (She had, of course, left the door open, for she knew that it was a very silly thing to shut oneself into a wardrobe.) It seemed to be still daylight there. “I can always get back if anything goes wrong,” thought Lucy. She began to walk forward, crunch-crunch over the snow and through the wood towards the other light. In about ten minutes she reached it and found it was a lamppost. As she stood looking at it, wondering why there was a lamppost in the middle of a wood, and wondering what to do next, she heard the pitter-patter of feet coming towards her. And soon after that a very strange person stepped out from among the trees into the light of the lamppost.

《狮子、女巫与魔衣橱》节选
[第1~2段译文]
然后,她看见前面有一道光,离它不远处可以看到魔衣橱的后面,但走起来却很远。冰冷而柔软的东西不停地落在她身上。片刻之后,她发现她正站在晚间的树林中间,积雪踩在脚下,雪片从空中飘来。
露西有点害怕,但同时她也很好奇、很兴奋。她扭头向后望去,在黑色的树干之间,仍然可见魔衣橱的入口处,她甚至还能瞥见她走出的那个空房间。(当然,她一直让门开着,因为她知道把自己关在衣橱里是很傻的。)那里似乎还是白天。“如果发生了什么事,我还可以回去,”露西想。她开始往前走,伴着踩在积雪上发出的嘎吱嘎吱声穿过森林,朝着另一处亮光走去。大约十分钟之后她到了那里,发现那是一根灯柱。当她站在那里,看着灯柱时,她开始感到奇怪,为什么森林中间会有根灯柱,她不知所措,这时她听见劈里啪啦的脚步声,(有人正)朝她走来。随后,一个非常奇怪的人从森林里走到了灯光下。
  He was only a little taller than Lucy herself and carried over his head an umbrella, white with snow. From the waist upwards he was like a man, but his legs were shaped like a goat's (the hair on them was glossy black) and instead of feet he had goat's hoofs. He also had a tail, but Lucy did not notice this at first because it was so neatly caught up over the arm that held the umbrella so as to keep it fromtrailing in the snow. He had a red woollen muffler round his neck and his skin was rather reddish too. He had a strange, but pleasant little face, with a short pointed beard and curly hair, and out of the hair there stuck two horns, one on each side of his forehead. One of his hands, as I have said, held the umbrella; in the other arm he carried several brown-paper parcels. With the parcels and the snow it looked just as if he had been doing his Christmas shopping. He was a Faun. And when he saw Lucy he gave such a start of surprise that he dropped all his parcels.
“Goodness gracious me!”exclaimed the Faun.

[第3~4段译文]
他只比露西略高一点,头上撑着一把伞,伞上满是雪。他腰部以上像人,而腿却像山羊腿?腿上是有光泽的黑毛?,脚不是人脚而是羊蹄。他还有一条尾巴,但露西起初没有注意到,因为它整齐地缠在撑伞的手臂上,免得它拖到雪地上。他脖子上围着一条红色羊毛围巾,他的皮肤也略带红。他有一张奇特却相当好看的小脸,短短的胡子很显眼,头发打着卷。两只羊角从卷发处伸出来,长在前额的两侧。正如我所说的,他的一只手拿着伞;而另一只手拿着几个棕色的纸包。通过纸包和他身上的雪来看,他刚才好像去买圣诞礼物了。他是一个半人半羊的农牧神。看到露西他吃了一惊,包裹都掉了下来。,“天哪!”他惊叫道。

二、勤练高考题型,多练自能生巧
Ⅰ.阅读理解
When a dog loses a leg, the animal eventually figures out the best way to get around on three legs. In a short time, the dog learns to deal with its physical disability. Now, scientists have developed robots that behave in much the same way.
Nowadays, robots can be seen everywhere. Robots build cars, play chess and can clean your house. Two robots were even sent to Mars to explore the red planet. Robots may someday drive your car, too.
Jeff Clune, a computer scientist with the University of Wyoming, says robots can also help people in natural disasters. Robots are used in search and rescue operations following an earthquake. They may someday also be used to examine the wreckage (废墟) of a nuclear accident, like the one in Fukushima, Japan.
Mr. Clune says robots can be sent to a lot of unsafe places. “The problem is that all of those types of situations and environments are extremely dangerous and unpredictable. And it is very likely that robots and humans in those situations become damaged.”
He and other scientists are developing technology so that robots will continue operating after the first sign of injury. They want the machines to have the ability to make changes and continue performing until they can be repaired.
Mr. Clune and researchers in France have added one more operation to the skill set of robots working under difficult conditions. Once the robots become damaged, they use their knowledge of how their body works to find a way to deal with the damage. The robots are programmed with child-like curiosity. In other words, they are always asking questions and looking for answers. The whole process takes about a minute for the robots to find a way to overcome damage. They have now already programmed a robot with six legs and a robotic arm to learn how to deal with injuries.
语篇解读:科学家正在研制一种能在危险环境下作业,并在被损伤后通过自我检测,提供应对措施,从而不影响正常工作的新型机器人。
1.Why is a dog mentioned in the first paragraph?
A.To bring in the topic of the text.
B.To prove a dog's ability to repair itself.
C.To show the similarity between a dog and a robot.
D.To predict what a dog can do in a dangerous situation.
解析:选A 写作意图题。文章开头提到狗能够很快适应身体残疾,就是为了引出本文要讨论的话题——机器人应对自身损坏。
2.What can't robots do so far according to the text?
A.Play chess.       B.Clean houses.
C.Drive cars. D.Explore space.
解析:选C 细节理解题。根据第二段最后一句“Robots may someday drive your car, too.”可知,目前机器人还不能开车。
3.What is the problem for robots working in natural disasters?
A.They can't behave in a normal way.
B.They are very likely to be injured.
C.They might perform unpredictably.
D.They take a long time to overcome damage.
解析:选B 细节理解题。根据第四段最后一句“And it is very likely that ...become damaged.”可知,在危险多变的环境下,机器人容易受到损伤。
4.The robots deal with damage by ________.
A.repairing the injuries by themselves
B.sending signals to their designers for help
C.adding more advanced skills to themselves
D.consulting their own programs to find solutions
解析:选D 细节理解题。从最后一段中的“use their knowledge of how their body works to find a way to deal with the damage”和“asking questions and looking for answers”可知,机器人被损伤后,它可以自己查寻程序,找到解决方案。
Ⅱ.语法填空

课件71张PPT。Module 2 Fantasy Literature Philip Pullman Section Ⅴ Writing-如何写科幻故事
科幻故事是开放式作文的一种,一般给出一段材料,要求我们充分发挥想象力来拓展原材料内容,运用逻辑推理的方法,沿着材料的纵横方向延伸,给故事添加开头、结尾或中间过程。想象必须合理而且内容丰富,要抓住主题,运用恰当的词汇、句型与语句间的连接成分写出连贯的表达,语言要流畅、具有美感。

科幻故事的写作一般可分为三部分:第一部分为故事的开始;第二部分为故事发展的过程及结果;最后一部分提出故事的教育意义。
2.根据需要确定时态
科幻故事通常是发生在过去,因此应以一般过去时为主。
3.筛选词汇
科幻故事一般为虚构的故事,要求语言比较夸张,为了吸引读者,故事的语言要生动、富于虚幻性。
二、增分佳句
(一)幻想故事的开端
1.Once upon a time, there lived a king.
很久以前,有一位国王。
2.Long long ago, there lived a king.
很久很久以前,有一位国王。
(二)幻想故事的发展和高潮
1.The ring suddenly began to speak, which made the brave young man very amazed.
戒指突然开始说话了,这使得这位勇敢的年轻人很惊异。

除了蜘蛛夏绿蒂,没有人喜欢和身体虚弱的小猪韦尔伯说话,夏绿蒂把韦尔伯当作她的好朋友。
3.In 2146, we are flying in the air, conveying signals through our minds.
在2146年,我们在空中飞翔,用意识传递信息。
(三)幻想故事的结局
They finally defeated the evil witch, living a happy life.
他们最终战胜了邪恶的女巫,过上了幸福的生活。

Ⅱ.阅读理解
The United Nations just put together a deal that should prove a major victory for the world’s threatened forests.
While we all know it’s foolish to destroy all of the world’s forests, deforestation (滥砍滥伐) continues to run out of control because developing nations are more interested in the financial gains than the environment.
Clearly, if we want developing nations to preserve their forests, we have to give them financial encouragement to do so. That’s where the U.N. comes in.
Paying developing nations to stop cutting down forests is part of the U.N.’s goal to end deforestation by the year 2030. This plan has actually been kicking around in the U.N. for about a decade. The reason is that it’s tricky to find a balance between protecting the forests and stripping (剥夺) local people of their land.
Previous attempts at protecting lands have left local communities neither compensation (补偿) nor reasonable source of income. To prevent this, the U.N. wants to work with both government bodies and local communities to reach agreements that satisfy all parties.
The need for forests in the fight against climate change is twofold (双面的). Firstly, the act of chopping down trees currently creates 17 percent of the world’s emissions as carbon and other harmful gasses escape from the fallen trees. Secondly, trees naturally help to fight against climate change by taking in carbon. The more trees we leave alive, the slower the effects of carbon change will occur.
Altogether, scientists predict that preserving existing forests could reduce 8.8 billion tons of carbon emissions annually.
The U.N. still has one issue to work out before the plan is official: the money. The U.N. could shell out some, but outside private donations will probably be necessary in the long run. However, U.N. officials are confident that — given the forests’ importance to the planet — it will find the money necessary to make this plan happen.
语篇解读:世界范围内的森林滥砍滥伐现象日趋严重,联合国要出台什么新招数来应对呢?本文为你揭晓答案。
1.What is the U.N.’s plan discussed in the text?
A.Cutting down on the world’s emissions.
B.Encouraging local people to give up their land.
C.Paying developing nations to stop deforestation.
D.Calling on developing nations to protect their forests.
解析:选C 细节理解题。根据第三段的内容可知,联合 国的计划是为发展中国家提供财政支持,阻止这些国家的滥砍滥伐行为。另外,抓住文章中的compensation、money等核心词也可以找到答案。
2.Why do developing nations keep cutting down forests?
A.To make more furniture.
B.To make more money.
C.To protect the environment.
D.To make better use of their land.
解析:选B 细节理解题。根据第二段的“...developing nations are more interested in the financial gains ...”可知,发展中国家这么做是为了获取更多的经济收入,故选B项。
3.What does the underlined word “tricky” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?
A.Easy. B.Impossible.
C.Likely. D.Difficult.
解析:选D 词义猜测题。这项计划之所以大约十年悬而未决,说明在保护森林和剥夺当地人的土地之间找到平衡的办法是很困难的,故选D项。
4.What is Paragraph 6 mainly about?
A.Why we need to reduce the world’s emissions.
B.How living trees reduce the effects of carbon change.
C.Why forests are needed to fight against climate change.
D.What bad effects chopping down trees has on the environment.
解析:选C 段落大意题。本段从被砍倒的树排放碳等有害气体而活着的树吸收二氧化碳两方面说明树对环境变化的双重作用,所以C项是正确的。

参考范文:
Dear Jack,
I’m glad to hear from you. Let me tell you why I’m going to take part in the Military Winter Camp.
To be honest, I have never been away from home for long before and I hope to have a chance to deal with everything on my own. I believe the strict camp life will make me independent enough to take care of myself. In addition, I am shy and not good at communicating with others. The activity will help me a lot in developing my ability to cooperate with others. Hopefully, I will make new friends during the activities of the camp. I’m sure the military camp will be of great benefit to me.
Yours,
Li Hua

课件3张PPT。课时跟踪练(一) Introduction & Reading — Pre reading
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
Fantasies for young readers really began with the fairy tales of writers such as the Brothers Grimm. Of course, all the children who grow up reading these books and tales never, at heart, really grow up at all, for such wonderful stories are forever carved in their minds. And fairy tales are as much fun to read when we are fifty, only for memorable reasons, as they were when we were children.
But it’s obvious these days that fantasies aren’t only for the little ones. In 1977, 23 years after The Lord of the Rings by Tolkien was published, Terry Brooks published his first novel, The Sword of Shannara. It became the first work of fiction ever to appear on The New York Times trade paperback bestseller list, where it remained for over five months. Following the release of Tolkien’s work, earlier works of fantasy, like T.H. White’s The Once and Future King and E.R. Eddison’s The Mezentian Gate (in 1958) came out before The Sword of Shannara, but neither had an influence quite like The Sword of Shannara. Fantasies were truly reborn.
As the popularity of fantasies began to grow quickly, the film and television industry climbed_aboard_the_bandwagon. During the 1980s, the fantasy/adventure movie was born. Detective Conan is a classic to the 1980s. Other less memorable films can still be found in video stores. The lack of really good fantasy movies in the recent past can be blamed on substandard (低于标准的) special effects. However, now, in an age of post-modern computer technology, the impossible is no longer a concern. Since the release and popularity of The Lord of the Rings, cinema screen production rights have been purchased for scores of fantasy novels, from Terry Brooks to Robert Jordan.
The future of fantasies has never looked so assured. Even children’s cinema has had its own successes through the big screen release of the Harry Potter series and the classic Peter Pan. While there remains a choice to go beyond the reality we know, there will always be fantasies.
语篇解读:奇幻作品对每个年龄段的人都有吸引力。作者相信,随着电脑技术的发展,奇幻文学的前景将会非常广阔。
1.What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A.Fairy tales live in people’s mind.
B.Fantasies are attractive to persons of all ages.
C.Fantasies appear earlier than fairy tales.
D.The Brothers Grimm is famous for The Sword of Shannara.

3.The underlined phrase “climbed aboard the bandwagon” probably means “________”.

C.made an announcement D.followed the trend
解析:选D 词义猜测题。根据第三段中的第一句话可知,奇幻文学越来越受欢迎;由第三段中的倒数第一、二句话可知,由于电脑技术的发展,随着奇幻文学的流行,电影业和电视业也加入到这个大潮中来,由此可判断本短语的含义为“顺应潮流”。
4.What attitude does the writer have towards the future of fantasies?
A.Uncertain. B.Optimistic.
C.Uninterested. D.Worried.
解析:选B 推理判断题。根据最后一段中的“The future of fantasies has never looked so assured.”可推知,作者对奇幻文学的未来持乐观态度。
B
A homeless man will have his Christmas wish come true when he sits down for dinner with his family for the first time in 12 years after being reunited with them through Facebook.
George Cunningham told Lee, a photographer, that his main concern over the holidays would simply be finding somewhere he could sit down and have a Christmas dinner. “I’m homeless and travelling around to any town that has shelter for the homeless people so that I can get a bed for the night. If I had to sleep out in this cold weather, I’d be dead already,” he said. Lee told Sky News that he thought the man’s simple Christmas wish was pretty amazing.
When George’s photograph was put on the Facebook page, which posts images of ordinary Irish men and women, the response was surprising with dozens of people offering to pay for his meal or even host him themselves.
One day, Lee was contacted (联系) by George’s sister, who had not communicated with her brother for 12 years. She wanted to invite George home for the holidays, but Lee had no way to contact George in Kinsale, a small fishing port in County Cork. “I have to ring around the town and get someone to find him,” he told Sky News. Finally someone found him and he rang him up.
This year, George will go home to spend Christmas with his family. But the offers of help haven’t ended there. A hotel administrator near his family home said George could spend a night there if he wanted and a clothes store also offered him a new suit for the big reunion.
George said it was all hard to believe that after his photo was put on the Internet, he suddenly started getting offers of meals and stuff.
语篇解读:一个12年无家可归的人,通过网络找到了家人,并将实现自己多年的圣诞晚餐愿望。
5.Who contributed a lot for George’s dream coming true?
A.His sister. B.A photographer.
C.A hotel owner. D.A clothes storekeeper.
解析:选B 细节理解题。根据第二段首句和末句以及第三段的内容可知,George告诉了摄影师Lee他的圣诞愿望,而Lee把他的照片放在Facebook上,引起了众人的关注,包括他姐姐,并最终梦想成真。因此B项正确。
6.We can infer from the passage that ________.
A.George sometimes had no bed for the night
B.many people recognized George from the Facebook
C.George didn’t have a Christmas dinner with his family for 12 years
D.Lee didn’t expect Facebook could help George realize his dream

7.How did Lee try to contact George again?
A.He phoned George himself.
B.He phoned George’s sister.
C.He met George in Kinsale.
D.He let someone else find George.
解析:选D 细节理解题。根据第四段最后两句可知,Lee打电话给村里的人,让他们帮助找George,故答案选D项。
8.What can be the best title for the passage?
A.Facebook helps lost people find home
B.A homeless man homes for Christmas
C.No dreams will fail to come true
D.Find ways to try to help the homeless
解析:选B 标题归纳题。根据全文内容可知,B项既能概括文章主题,语言也简练清晰。
C
Ever wonder why playgrounds only belong to children? When you reach your mid-twenties, you aren’t expected to enjoy yourself as freely as you would in your teenage years. Why is such enjoyment limited to a particular age group only? A major culprit has to be our society’s tradition about sticking to life’s goals and advancing in a career path. But today, we’ll be shifting our attention towards a less-known reason — the absence of playing equipment for older generations.
The fix is easy and difficult at the same time. Easy, because the obvious way of rectifying (纠正) the matter would be to have playground equipment for adults placed in parks and on playgrounds with ones meant for younger generations. And it is difficult because not many companies make such play-structures and encouraging older people to frequent such locations is a hard task. Not many people would like to leave a few hours out of their already-busy routines to play. However, some companies have started installing (安装) play-structures big and strong enough for average-sized adults.
Could gyms provide the service? It depends on how you plan to use the gym-space for recreational purposes and mostly, they’re used to gain fitness only. And none of the time spent at the gym for this reason is considered to be recreational since it is not fun at all. When was the last time you saw somebody dead lifted 150 pounds? Never.
But if you modernize gyms and aim to provide activities other than, or alongside, fitness ones, then yes, gyms could be used for recreational and fun purposes. We’ve already seen examples including pool tables, badminton and squash (壁球) spaces in gyms and they are all great ways to get new adults and older people to have fun on a regular basis like children.
语篇解读:游乐场地并非孩子们的专属,成年人也应该从繁忙的生活中抽出时间来享受玩耍的乐趣。
9.Which of the following can replace the underlined word “culprit” in Paragraph 1?
A.React. B.Effect.
C.Cause. D.Crime.
解析:选C 词义猜测题。根据画线词前面的问句可知,画线词所在句子是在解释原因:人们普遍觉得大人们更应该致力于人生目标与事业,而不是玩耍。故选C项。
10.According to Paragraph 2, why is it easy to solve the problem?
A.Because many people prefer to play on the playground.
B.Because the solution to the problem is easy to find.
C.Because children are willing to share the playground with others.
D.Because companies have produced play-structures for adults.
解析:选B 细节理解题。根据第二段第二句可知,如果说容易,是因为解决成年人不能在游乐场地娱乐的问题的方法是显而易见的,那就是在游乐场地安放适合成年人娱乐的器材。
11.Which of the following best describes the relation between the paragraphs?
解析:选A 文章结构题。文章第一段提出成年人缺乏娱乐的问题,后三段提出了解决方法,即:在游乐场地(第二段)和健身房(第三、四段)安装适合成年人娱乐的器材。
12.Which of the following statements will the author mostly agree to?
A.The government should provide playing equipment for adults.
B.Gyms should be modernized to satisfy all age groups’ needs.
C.The playground should be provided for children only.
D.It’s a waste of money to go to professional gyms.
解析:选B 推理判断题。根据最后一段第一句可知,作者认为应该让健身房现代化以便满足所有年龄段人们的需求。
Ⅱ.阅读七选五
Cleaning is necessary to enjoy the feeling after you clean — when everything is clean and in order. You feel better about yourself because you were productive and accomplished something that is beneficial to everyone in your household. Many people believe that cleaning is boring and tiring. __1__
__2__ To make things easier on you if you have a full day of other activities, clean a little bit at a time. For example, dust all of your furniture one day and then clean your floors the next. Or find something else that needs to be done.
Turn on your favorite music (CDs, radios, music videos on TV, etc.). Just let it all out. Dance, sing, and act crazy. __3__ Have some fun-act silly. You might like it. And it makes the tasks more manageable.
__4__ You’ll feel more organized when you have a list to follow. The feeling of accomplishment of your goals is also rewarding. And when you’ve done with the list, reward yourself by doing something fun.
Cleaning doesn’t always have to be drudgery (苦差事). The biggest tip I can give is not to let things get piled up and disgustingly (讨厌地) dirty. __5__ Do the things that need to be done routinely so that you won’t have even more work to do when you get down to cleaning.
A.Cleaning doesn’t have to be done in full all at one time, unless you want it to.
B.So you should enjoy cleaning your house and make others happy.
C.Write down a list of things that are the most important to do for that cleaning session.
D.But contrary to popular belief, cleaning can be madefun.
E.In fact, leaving things aside is sometimes a good idea.
F.You might feel silly, but try not to take yourself so seriously.

When a dog loses a leg, the animal eventually figures out the best way to get around on three legs. In a short time, the dog learns to deal with its physical disability. Now, scientists have developed robots that behave in much the same way.
Nowadays, robots can be seen everywhere. Robots build cars, play chess and can clean your house. Two robots were even sent to Mars to explore the red planet. Robots may someday drive your car, too.
Jeff Clune, a computer scientist with the University of Wyoming, says robots can also help people in natural disasters. Robots are used in search and rescue operations following an earthquake. They may someday also be used to examine the wreckage (废墟) of a nuclear accident, like the one in Fukushima, Japan.
Mr. Clune says robots can be sent to a lot of unsafe places. “The problem is that all of those types of situations and environments are extremely dangerous and unpredictable. And it is very likely that robots and humans in those situations become damaged.”
He and other scientists are developing technology so that robots will continue operating after the first sign of injury. They want the machines to have the ability to make changes and continue performing until they can be repaired.
Mr. Clune and researchers in France have added one more operation to the skill set of robots working under difficult conditions. Once the robots become damaged, they use their knowledge of how their body works to find a way to deal with the damage. The robots are programmed with child-like curiosity. In other words, they are always asking questions and looking for answers. The whole process takes about a minute for the robots to find a way to overcome damage. They have now already programmed a robot with six legs and a robotic arm to learn how to deal with injuries.
