一、限制性定语从句
限制性定语从句是先行词在意义上不可缺少的定语,用于修饰和限定先行词。如果去掉,主句的意思就不完整。这种从句和主句的关系十分密切,两者之间不用逗号分开;关系代词在从句中作宾语时可以省略。引导限制性定语从句的关系代词有who,whom,whose,that,which,as;关系副词有where,when,why。

二、非限制性定语从句
非限制性定语从句和主句的关系不是十分密切,只是对先行词或主句作些附加说明,如果去掉,主句的意思仍然完整。这种从句和主句之间往往用逗号分开。引导非限制性定语从句的关系词与引导限制性定语从句的关系词略有不同。除that和why不能引导非限制性定语从句外,其他都可以。
He is English,which I know from his accent.
他是英国人,那是我通过他的口音知道的。

A FACT OR AN OPINION?
What is a fact?Is it something that people believe?No.A fact is anything that can be proved.For example,it can be proved that China has more people than any other① country in the world.This is a fact.
Then what is an opinion?An opinion is what someone believes is true but has not been proved.So an opinion is not good evidence② in a trial③.For example,it is an opinion if you say“Cats are better pets than dogs”.It may be true,but it is difficult to prove.Some people may not agree with④ this opinion but they also cannot prove that they are right.
In a trial,a judge must decide which eyewitnesses⑤ to believe and which not to believe.The judge does not consider what each eyewitness looks like or where that person lives or works.He/She only cares about⑥ whether the eyewitness has given true information,which must be facts rather than⑦ opinions.This kind of information is called evidence.
课文译文
事实还是看法?
什么是事实?是人们相信的某一件事吗?不。事实是能够被证实的任何事情。比如,人们能够证实中国的人口比世界上任何其他的国家的人口都多,这就是事实。
那么,什么是看法?看法就是某人认为是真实的但未经证实的东西。因此,在审判中看法并不是有说服力的证据。比如,如果你说“猫是比狗更好的宠物”,这就是一种看法。这种看法可能是对的,但是它难以被证实。一些人可能不同意这种看法,但是他们也不能证明他们是正确的。
在审判中,法官必须断定哪些目击者(的话)可以相信,哪些目击者(的话)不可以相信。法官并不考虑目击者的长相如何,也不考虑那个人住在哪里或在哪里工作。他/她只关心目击者是否提供了真实的信息,这些信息必须是事实,而不是看法。这种信息叫作证据。

天坛是世界文化遗产,全国重点文物保护单位,国家5A级旅游景区。位于北京市南部,东城区永定门内大街东侧。
The Temple of Heaven is located in southern Beijing.It is included in the UNESCO(联合国教科文组织)world heritage(遗产)list in 1998.With an area of 2.7 million square meters,it is the largest of its kind in the country.
Built in 1420,the 18th year of the rule of Ming Emperor Yongle,the temple's main building is the Hall of Prayer for Good Harvests(祈年殿).The round hall,38 meters high and 30 meters in diameter,has triple eaves and a cone-shaped deep blue tile(瓦)roof crowned with a gilded knob.Surrounding the hall is a six-meter-high spacious round stone terrace(平台)on three levels,each edged by a balustrade of carved white marble.
The Circular Mound Altar is one of the most important buildings and is a three-tier white stone terrace together with two walls.Geometrically designed,the altar has a taiji rock at the center of the top terrace.If you stand on the rock and speak in a normal voice,your voice will sound louder and deeper to yourself than to others around you,because the sound waves are reflected by the round wall and come back to the center.
Every year,the Temple of Heaven receives millions of visitors from all over the world.

IN SEARCH OF THE AMBER ROOM
Frederick William I①,the King of Prussia②,could never have imagined that his greatest gift to the Russian people would have such an amazing③history.This gift was the Amber Room,which was given this name because several tons of amber were used to make it.The amber which was selected④had a beautiful yellow-brown colour like honey⑤.The design⑥of the room was in the fancy⑦style⑧popular in those days.It was also a treasure decorated⑨with gold and jewels⑩,which took the country's best artists?about ten years to make.
In fact,the room was not made to be a gift.It was designed for?the palace of Frederick I.However,the next King of Prussia,Frederick William I,to whom the amber room belonged?,decided not to keep it.In 1716 he gave it to Peter the Great.In return?,the Czar?sent him a troop?of his best soldiers.So the Amber Room became part of the Czar's winter palace in St Petersburg?.About four metres long,the room served as?a small reception?hall for important visitors.
Later,Catherine Ⅱ?had the Amber Room moved to a palace outside St Petersburg where she spent her summers.She told her artists to add more details to it.In 1770 the room was completed the way she wanted.Almost six hundred candles litthe room,and its mirrors and pictures shone like gold.Sadly,although the Amber Room was considered one of the wondersof the world,it is now missing.
In September 1941,the Nazi army was near St Petersburg.This was a time when the two countries were at war.Before the Nazis could get to the summer palace,the Russians were able to removesome furnitureand small art objects from the Amber Room.However,some of the Nazis secretly stole the room itself.In less thantwo days 100,000 pieces were put inside twenty-seven woodenboxes.There is no doubtthat the boxes were then put on a train for K?nigsberg,which was at that time a German city on the Baltic Sea.After that,what happened to the Amber Room remainsa mystery.
Recently,the Russians and Germans have built a new Amber Room at the summer palace.By studying old photos of the formerAmber Room,they have made the new one look like the old one.In 2003 it was ready for the people of St Petersburg when they celebrated the 300th birthday of their city.
课文译文
寻找琥珀屋
普鲁士国王腓特烈·威廉一世绝不可能想到他送给俄罗斯人民的厚礼会有这样一段令人惊讶的历史。这件礼物就是琥珀屋,之所以用这个名字是因为造这间房子用了好几吨琥珀。被选用的琥珀色彩漂亮,像蜂蜜一样呈黄褐色。琥珀屋的设计采用了当时流行的奇特风格。它还是一件用黄金和珠宝装饰的宝物,花了这个国家最优秀的艺术家大约十年的时间来制造它。
事实上,这个琥珀屋并不是作为礼物来建造的。它是为腓特烈一世的宫殿而设计(制作)的。然而,下一位普鲁士国王,腓特烈·威廉一世,这个琥珀屋的主人却决定不要它了。在1716年,他把琥珀屋送给了彼得大帝。作为回赠,沙皇则送给他一队自己最好的士兵。这样,琥珀屋就成了沙皇在圣彼得堡冬宫的一部分。这间琥珀屋长约4米,被用作小型接待厅来接待重要来宾。
后来,叶卡捷琳娜二世派人把琥珀屋搬到圣彼得堡郊外她避暑的宫殿中。她让她的艺术家们给琥珀屋添加了更多细节。1770年,琥珀屋按照她想要的方式完成了。有近600根蜡烛来照亮这个屋子,屋子里面的镜子和图画像金子一样闪闪发光。可悲的是,虽然琥珀屋被认为是世界上的奇迹之一,但现在已经找不到了。
1941年9月,纳粹军队逼近圣彼得堡。这是在两国交战的时期。在纳粹分子到达夏宫之前,俄国人能把琥珀屋里的一些家具和小型艺术品搬走。然而,一些纳粹分子秘密地把整个琥珀屋偷走了。在不到两天的时间里,(琥珀屋被拆卸成)10万个部件装进了27个木箱里。毫无疑问,这些箱子后来被装上火车运往哥尼斯堡,当时德国在波罗的海边的一个城市。从那以后,琥珀屋的去处便成了一个谜。
最近,俄国人和德国人在夏宫建造了一个新的琥珀屋。通过研究以前的琥珀屋的旧照片,他们使新的琥珀屋看上去跟以前的琥珀屋一样。2003年,圣彼得堡人用它来庆祝该市建立300周年。

Yesterday afternoon, we held a discussion about whether students like reading humorous English stories or not.
80% of the students are fond of reading humorous English stories.They think this kind of stories are so interesting that more and more students will be interested in English reading.Besides,not only can these stories entertain students, but also they may give them knowledge.In addition, they teach them how to use the technique of humor.
However, 20% of the students show no interest in them.They find these stories boring and hard to understand.Also, they say they learn few new words and useful sentence structures from those short English stories.More importantly, they feel it difficult for Chinese students to follow the humor in these stories.
Personally speaking,I enjoy reading humorous English stories.Having a laugh every day is really beneficial to people,and I think it is good for people to appreciate humor.
亮点点评
(1)本文思路清晰、行文流畅、过渡自然,而且熟练地使用了一些高级句型及结构,如:第二段的第二句使用了so...that...引导的结果状语从句,第二段的第三句使用了not only...but also...结构,且not only...位于句首,第一个分句用部分倒装。第三段的第二句使用了“find+宾语+宾补”结构,第三段的最后一句“they feel it...”中的it在此作形式宾语,后面的不定式作真正的宾语。在最后一段的第二句中,“Having a laugh every day”为动名词短语作主语。
(2)在文中作者使用的Besides,However,Also,More importantly等词汇使文章过渡自然。此外,be fond of,be interested in,show no interest in等的使用也是文章的亮点所在。

Dear Editor,
Some students go to the net bars near our school almost every day.Last week,a heated discussion was held in our school about whether middle school students should go to net bars.
45% of the students thought that we shouldn't because the contents of many websites are not suitable for us young students.Many students go there just to chat or to play electronic games.It's really a waste of time.
On the contrary,nearly half of the students held the view that we should because it is a modern method of communication.We can search for the information we need,attend net school on line,send and receive e-mails to keep in touch with our friends.
Still,there are 5% students who didn't express any of their ideas at all.Now,can you give us some advice on this problem?
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

Many kings and princes⑧ wanted to marry Atlanta,but when they heard of⑨ her rules they knew it was hopeless⑩.So many of them sadly went home, but others stayed to run the race?.There was a man called Hippomenes? who was amazed when he heard of Atlanta's rules,“Why are these men so foolish??”he thought.“Why will they let themselves be killed because they cannot run as fast as this princess?”However, when he saw Atlanta come out of her house to run, Hippomenes changed his mind?.“I will marry Atlanta—or die!”he said.
The race started and although the men ran very fast,Atlanta ran faster.As Hippomenes watched he thought,“How can I run as fast as Atlanta?”He went to ask the Greek Goddess? of Love for help.She promised to help? him and gave him three golden apples.She said,“Throw an apple in front of? Atlanta when she is running past.When she stops to? pick it up?,you will be able to run past her and win.”Hippomenes took the apples and went to the King.He said,“I want to marry Atlanta.”The King was sad to see? another man die,but Hippomenes said,“I will marry her—or die!”So the race began.

亚特兰大的故事
亚特兰大是一位希腊公主。她很漂亮,而且比希腊的任何男人跑得都快,但她不被允许在奥运会上参加赛跑比赛为自己赢得荣誉。她非常生气,于是就对她的父亲说,她不会嫁给任何跑不过她的男人。她的父亲说她必须结婚,于是亚特兰大就和她的父亲达成了一个协议。她对父亲说:“我有我的规矩。当有人说想娶我时,我就跟他赛跑。如果他不能跑得和我一样快,他就要被杀掉。任何人都不会被赦免。”
许多国王和王子想娶亚特兰大,但当他们听说了她的规矩时,就知道希望渺茫。因此他们中的很多人闷闷不乐地回家了,其他人则留下来参加赛跑。一位叫希波墨涅斯的人得知亚特兰大的规矩后,大为吃惊。“为什么这些人那么愚蠢呢?”他想,“为什么他们跑不过这个公主就让别人把自己杀掉呢?”然而,当他看到亚特兰大从屋子里出来跑步时,希波墨涅斯改变了主意。他说:“我要么娶亚特兰大,要么就去死!”
比赛开始了,虽然那些男人跑得很快,可是亚特兰大跑得更快。希波墨涅斯边看边想:“我怎样才能跑得与亚特兰大一样快呢?”他去向希腊爱情女神求助。她答应帮助他,并且给了他三个金苹果。她说:“当亚特兰大跑过你的时候,你就扔一个苹果在亚特兰大前面。当她停下来去捡它时,你就可以超过她而获胜。”希波墨涅斯拿着苹果去见国王。他说:“我要娶亚特兰大。”国王很忧伤,因为又要看着一个人去送死,但是希波墨涅斯说:“我要娶她,要不,我就去死!”于是比赛开始了。

AN INTERVIEW
Pausanias,who was a Greek① writer about 2,000 years ago,has come on a magical② journey on March 18th, 2007 to find out③ about the present-day④ Olympic Games. He is now interviewing Li Yan, a volunteer⑤ for the 2008 Olympic Games.
P: My name is Pausanias.I lived in what you call “Ancient Greece⑥” and I used to⑦ write about the Olympic Games a long time ago.I've come to your time⑧ to find out about the present-day Olympic Games because I know that in 2004 they were held in my homeland⑨.May I ask you some questions about the modern Olympics?
L:Good heavens⑩!Have you really come from so long ago?But of course you can ask any questions you like.What would you like to know?
P: How often? do you hold your Games?
L: Every four years?.There are two main sets of Games—the Winter and the Summer Olympics, and both are held every four years on a regular? basis?.The Winter Olympics are usually held two years before the Summer Games.Only athletes? who have reached the agreed standard? for their event will be admitted as? competitors.They may come from anywhere in the world.
P:Winter Games? How can the runners enjoy competing? in winter? And what about the horses?
L:Oh no! There are no running races or horse riding events.Instead there are competitions like skiing and ice skating which need snow and ice.That's why they're called the Winter Olympics.It's in the Summer Olympics that you have the running races, together with? swimming, sailing and all the team sports.
P:I see?.Earlier you said that athletes are invited from all over the world.Do you mean the Greek world? Our Greek cities used to compete against each other just for the honour of winning.No other countries could join in, nor could slaves or women!
L:Nowadays any country can take part if their athletes are good enough.There are over 250 sports and each one has its own standard.Women are not only allowed,but play a very important role in gymnastics, athletics, team sports and...
P:Please wait a minute! All those events, all those countries and even women taking part! Where are all the athletes housed?
L:For each Olympics, a special village is built for them to live in,a main reception building, several stadiums for competitions, and a gymnasium as well.
P: That sounds very expensive.Does anyone want to host the Olympic Games?
L:As a matter of fact,every country wants the opportunity.It's a great responsibility but also a great honour to be chosen.There's as much competition among countries to host the Olympics as to win Olympic medals.The 2008 Olympics will be held in Beijing, China.Did you know that?
P: Oh yes! You must be very proud.
L: Certainly.And after that the 2012 Olympics will be held in London.They have already started planning for it.A new village for the athletes and all the stadiums will be built to the east of London.New medals will be designed of course and...
P: Did you say medals? So even the olive wreath has been replaced!Oh dear! Do you compete for prize money too?
L: No, we don't.It's still all about being able to run faster, jump higher and throw further.That's the motto of the Olympics,you know—“Swifter, Higher and Stronger.”
P:Well, that's good news.How interesting! Thank you so much for your time.
课文译文
一个采访
帕萨尼亚斯是大约2 000年的一位希腊作家,他于2007年3月18日做了一次魔幻旅行(到现代),以便弄清当代奥运的情况。他现在正在采访一名叫李艳的2008年奥运会志愿者。
帕:我叫帕萨尼亚斯。我生在你们所说的“古希腊”!且我过去常写有关很久前的奥运会的文章。(现在)我来到你们的时代,想弄清当代奥运会的情况,因为我知道2004年的奥运会是在我的祖国举行的。可以问你一些有关现代奥运会的问题吗?
李:天哪!你真的来自那么久远的时代?但是你当然可以问任何你想问的问题。你想知道什么呢?
帕:你们的奥运会多久举行?
李:每四年(举行一次)。奥运会主要有两种:冬季奥运会和夏季奥运会。这两种运动会按常规每四年举行一次,冬季奥运会通常要比夏季奥运会早两年举行。达到他们各自项目统一标准的运动员才会被接受参加奥运会。他们可能来自世界的任何一个地方。
帕:冬季奥运会?运动员怎么可能喜欢在冬天比赛?又怎么可能赛马呢?
李:噢,不!(冬季奥运会)没有赛跑和赛马这类项目。相反有像滑雪和溜冰这类需要冰和雪的比赛项目。这就是它们被叫作冬季奥运会的原因。在夏季奥运会上有赛跑、游泳、帆船运动和所有的团体项目。
帕:我明白了。之前你说过参赛的运动员来自世界各地。你是指希腊世界吗?我们希腊城市之间过去常常仅仅为了赢得荣誉而彼此竞争。别的国家不能参加,奴隶和妇女也不能参加!
李:现在只要它们的运动员足够好,任何国家都能参赛。运动项目有250多个,而且每个项目都有它自己的标准。妇女不仅被允许参赛,而且还在体操、竞技和团体运动等比赛项目中起着非常重要的作用……
帕:请等一下!那些所有的比赛项目,那些所有的国家,甚至妇女也参加!所有的运动员被安置在哪里呢?
李:每届奥运会都有一个特殊的村庄(奥运村)供参赛的人住,一个主要的接待大楼,好几个供比赛用的体育场,还有一个室内体育馆。
帕:那听起来要花很多钱吧。有人想主办奥运会吗?
李:事实上,每个国家都想要这个机会。被选中(举办奥运会)不仅要承担巨大的责任,同时也享有极大的荣誉。国家之间为了能够举办奥运会的竞争同为了赢得奥运奖牌的竞争一样激烈。2008年的奥运会将在中国北京举行,你知道吗?
帕:是的!你一定很自豪吧。
李:当然。在那之后,2012年的奥运会将在伦敦举行。他们已经开始为此筹划了。一个新的奥运村和所有的体育场将在伦敦东部兴建。当然新的奖牌将被设计……
帕:你刚才说奖牌吗?就连橄榄枝花环也被取代了!天啊!你们也为奖金而竞赛吗?
李:不,不是的。它依然全部是关于能够跑得更快,跳得更高,掷得更远的。你知道,“更快,更高,更强”是奥运会的座右铭。
帕:噢,那真是好消息。多么有趣啊!非常感谢,占用了你的时间。

现在完成时的被动语态
1.Over time I have been changed quite a lot.
2.First as a PC(personal computer)and then as a laptop,I have been used in offices and homes since the 1970s.
3.Over time my memory has developed so much that,like an elephant,I never forget anything I have been told!
4.Since the 1970s many new applications have been found for me.
5.I have also been put into robots and used to make mobile phones as well as help with medical operations.
一、现在完成时的被动语态的常用句式
肯定式
主语+have/has been done...
否定式
主语+have/has not been done...
一般疑问式
Have/Has+主语+been done...?
特殊疑问式
疑问词+have/has+主语+been done...?
He has been admitted to the club.
他已被接纳为俱乐部成员了。
Tom's novel has not been published.
汤姆的小说还没有被出版。
Has his bike been repaired?
他的自行车修好了吗?
Who has been invited?
谁受到了邀请?
二、现在完成时的被动语态的用法
1.表示被动的动作在说话之前已经完成,强调过去的动作对现在造成的影响或产生的结果,通常与already,yet,never,recently等副词及时间状语so far,by now,up till now,since等连用。
The room has already been cleaned.
这个房间已经被打扫干净了。(现在已经不用打扫房间了)
2.表示一个被动的动作或状态从过去开始一直持续到现在,并可能继续持续下去,常与for或since等引出的时间状语(从句)连用,或用于how long引出的句子中。
The machine has been repaired for two hours.
这台机器已经被修两个小时了。(可能还会继续被修)
3.用在条件状语从句中,表示将来某时已经完成的动作。
You shouldn't leave school before your homework has been finished.
在你的作业没完成之前你不应该离开学校。
三、使用现在完成时的被动语态要注意6点问题
1.与一般过去时的被动语态的区别。一般过去时的被动语态所表示的动作或状态与现在的情况没有联系,而现在完成时的被动语态则强调与现在的情况有联系。
The park was opened to the public last year.
去年这家公园向公众开放。(说明动作发生于过去)
The park has been opened to the public.
这家公园已向公众开放。(说明动作发生于过去,但对现在有影响,即现在公园已经开放了)
2.非延续性动词,如borrow,finish,begin,start,buy,marry,open,join等构成的现在完成时的被动语态不能与表示一段时间的状语连用。若要表达相应的意思,则要改换动词或时态。
The work was finished two weeks ago.
这项工作在两周前已经完成。
The work has been finished.
这项工作已经完成。
3.短语动词是一个不可分割的整体,在被动语态中要保持完整性,其中的介词或副词不可省略。
It is said that the problem has been looked into.
据说已经调查了这个问题。
4.只带有一个宾语的动词变为被动语态时,将主动语态的宾语变为被动语态的主语。
We have built many houses in the past ten years.
→Many houses have been built in the past ten years.
5.带有双宾语的动词,如give,send,bring,take,teach,show,tell,make,sing,write,read,sell,buy,tell,pay,lend,pass,promise等,变为被动语态时,可将其中一个宾语变为主语,另一个保留不动。
We have given him the book.
→He has been given the book.
→The book has been given to him.
6.带有复合宾语的动词变为被动语态时,只能将宾语变为主语,原来的宾补改为主语补足语。原来省略to的不定式作宾补的,被动语态中要用带to的不定式。
I have told them to help you.
→They have been told to help you.

机器人——安迪
我是一个机器人足球队的一员。大约每年一次,我们获准聚在一起进行一场足球比赛。我大小和(真)人一样。事实上,我看起来也很像人。我在球队中是前锋,所以我需要跑得非常快。我的电脑芯片帮助我像人一样去移动和思考。例如,当我启动的时候,我已经学会用计算机语言示意我的队友把球传给我,然后我就可以有一个漂亮的射门。
几年前我在日本的名古屋参加了我的第一场足球比赛。去年我们队去美国华盛顿州的西雅图(参加比赛),并获得了第二名。就我个人而言,我认为获得冠军的那个球队作弊了。就在比赛前他们开发出来了一种新程序,所以我们需要鼓励我们的编程人员也提高我们的智能。我们决心创作出一个更好的系统。从某种程度上看,我们的程序员就像是我们的教练。她把观看人类比赛时所看到的一切可能的动作编入我们的程序。接着她准备好了可行的动作来应对新情况的出现。这样,我就可以用我的“人工智能”编出新的动作。我真想同人类的球队比赛,因为人们给我编程,使我能够像他们一样行动。不管怎样,在我过目不忘的电子脑的帮助下,运用智能就是我的一切。

在中国,传统的红包只出现在春节和婚礼上。2014年中国春节首发微信红包。数据显示,2016春节期间,超过4亿人送出或接收大约80亿个红包。
In China,cash gifts are traditionally given in real red envelopes during weddings and the Chinese New Year.The WeChat red envelope was launched during the 2014 Chinese New Year with a stipulation(规定)that the amount should be less than 200 yuan.Figures from Tencent Holdings Ltd.(腾讯控股有限公司)show that during that festival period,about 8 million users snapped up 40 million red envelopes.
For example,if a person in a WeChat group of 10 sends 100 yuan as a gift and says any one can have a maximum of 20 yuan,the first five to “grab”get the money while the other four miss out.
Red envelopes add a sense of atmosphere and strengthen interaction.The amount everybody gets could be different,so it is funny to see the comparisons.
During the 2016 Chinese New Year's Eve,more than 420 million people gave or received the envelopes and about 8 billion red envelopes were sent out that day,eight times the figure for the last year's eve.
The WeChat red envelope is an innovative(有创意的)way for people to send greetings.It also gets people into the habit of using WeChat payment,because you need to link it to your bank account.
For Internet companies,functions such as WeChat payment are an important part of the whole Internet ecosystem,as many other functions such as hailing taxis or shopping are based on online payment.

WHO AM I?
Over time I have been changed quite a lot.I began as a calculating① machine in France in 1642.Although I was young I could simplify② difficult sums③.I developed very slowly and it took nearly two hundred years before I was built as an analytical machine by Charles Babbage.After I was programmed④ by an operator⑤ who used cards with holes, I could “think”logically⑥ and produce an answer quicker than any person.At that time it was considered a technological⑦ revolution⑧ and the start of my “artificial⑨ intelligence⑩”.In 1936 my real father, Alan Turing, wrote a book about how I could be made to work as a“universal machine”to solve? any difficult mathematical? problem.From then on, I grew rapidly both in size and in brainpower.By the 1940s I had grown as large as a room, and I wondered if I would grow any larger.However, this reality? also worried my designers.As time went by,I was made smaller.First as a PC (personal? computer) and then as a laptop, I have been used in offices and homes since the 1970s.
These changes only became possible as my memory improved.First it was stored in tubes?,then on transistors? and later on very small chips.As a result? I totally? changed my shape.As I have grown older I have also grown smaller.Over time my memory has developed so much that, like an elephant, I never forget anything I have been told!And my memory became so large that even I couldn't believe it!But I was always so lonely standing there by myself, until in the early 1960s they gave me a family connected by a network?.I was able to share my knowledge with others through the World Wide Web?.
Since the 1970s many new applications have been found for me.I have become very important in communication,finance and trade.I have also been put into robots and used to make mobile phones as well as help with medical operations.I have even been put into space rockets and sent to explorethe Moon and Mars.Anyhow,my goal is to provide humans with a life of high quality.I am now truly filled with happiness that I am a devoted friend and helper of the human race!

课文译文
我是谁?
随着时间的推移我已经被改变了很多。1642年我在法国诞生时是一台计算机器。虽然我很年轻,但我能把复杂的算术简单化。我发育缓慢,差不多到了两百年之后,查尔斯·巴比奇才把我制成了一台分析机。在操作员用穿孔卡为我设计程序之后,我能够进行逻辑“思考”,并且能够比任何人更快地算出答案。那时这被当作是一次技术革命,也是我“人工智能”的开始。在1936年,我真正的父亲,艾伦·图灵写了一本书,讲述了怎样能使我成为一台“通用机器”来解决任何数学难题。从那时起,在体积和智能方面我都快速发展。到20世纪40年代,我已经变得像一间房屋那样大了,我不知道我是否还会再变得更大。然而,这个现实也使我的设计者们担心。随着时间的推移,我被制造得更小了。自从20世纪70年代以来,我一直被用于办公室和家庭,开始时是作为个人电脑,后来作为笔记本电脑。
随着我的记忆能力的提高,这些变化才成为可能。最初是被存储到电子管上,以后是晶体管上,后来是非常小的芯片上。结果我的形状完全改变了。随着年龄的增长,我变得更小了。随着时间的推移,我的记忆能力发展得如此之快,就像一头大象一样,我从来不会忘记告诉我的任何事情!我的记忆能力变得如此之大,以至于我自己都不敢相信!但我总是孤孤单单地独自站在那里,直到20世纪60年代初期,他们才给了我一个用网络连成的家。我能够通过万维网和其他人分享我的知识。
20世纪70年代以来,我又被开发出了很多新的用途。在通讯、金融和贸易方面我变得非常重要。人们还把我放到机器人里,用于制造手机和辅助医疗手术。我甚至已经被安装在航天火箭里去探索月球和火星。不管怎样,我的目标就是为人类提供高质量的生活。能成为人类忠实的朋友和助手我现在真的很高兴!

课文译文
动物灭绝
在地球漫长的历史中,许多动物都消失了。这些动物中最著名的就是恐龙。数千万年前,恐龙在地球上生活,比人类的出现要早得多,那时,它们的未来似乎是安全的。恐龙有许多不同的种类,其中有很多曾生活在中国。25个种类的恐龙蛋是在河南省南阳西峡县发现的。不久前,在辽宁省朝阳县发现了一种罕见的、形状像鸟的新的恐龙物种。当科学家们观察它们的骨头时,他们惊奇地发现它们不仅能像其他恐龙一样可以跑,而且还可以爬树。他们是从恐龙骨头的连接方式上得知这一点的。
大约6 500万年前,恐龙突然灭绝了。一些科学家认为恐龙灭绝是发生在一次意外事件之后,当时太空中的一块巨石撞击地球,在空气中扬起了太多的灰尘。另一些科学家则认为,地球变得太热了,恐龙无法再(在地球上)继续活下去了。没有人确切地知道恐龙是为什么又是如何在那么短的时间内从地球上消失的。
我们知道最近有许多其他的野生植物、动物、昆虫和鸟类已经灭绝了。根据联合国的一份报告,在过去的500年里,大约有844种动植物已经消失了,渡渡鸟就是其中的一种。渡渡鸟生活在毛里求斯岛上,是一种非常友好的动物。请听一个关于渡渡鸟的故事,看看它是如何从地球上消失的。

如何保护濒危动物?且看本文为你支招。
Around the world, habitats are being destroyed at an alarming rate,which puts many wildlife species in danger of extinction.Threatened and endangered wildlife lives throughout the globe and you're likely to find some in your own backyard. To protect endangered animals, think both globally and locally.
Find out what animals living near you are listed on the endangered species list. Spend some time learning about the animals and what their preferred habitat is.
Contribute to nature reserves and other wilderness areas.Habitat preservation is one of the best ways to help protect endangered animals. You can donate money or volunteer your time helping the nature reserve preserve habitats.
Buy environmentally friendly goods.Choose non-toxic cleaners and lawn care items that won't pollute streams, rivers or oceans.Avoid any products that have been made from threatened or endangered animals.Buy foods and goods that are made from materials that do not harm endangered animals or their habitat.For example, look for organic chocolate, coffee or cotton clothing that is grown without cutting down rainforests or destroying habitats.
Create or restore habitats for endangered animals.You can volunteer to help with projects worldwide designed to reestablish habitats.In your own backyard, plant a butterfly garden, use native plants and trees and let “wild” areas grow to provide habitats and food.

HOW DAISY LEARNED
TO HELP WILDLIFE
Daisy had always longed①to help endangered species②of wildlife.One day she woke up and found a flying carpet③ by her bed.“Where do you want to go?”it asked.Daisy responded④ immediately.“I'd like to see some endangered wildlife,”she said.“Please take me to a distant⑤ land where I can find the animal that gave fur⑥ to make this sweater.”At once the carpet flew away and took her to Tibet.There Daisy saw an antelope looking sad.It said,“We're being killed for the wool beneath⑦our stomachs.Our fur is being used to make sweaters for people like you.As a result, we are now an endangered species.”At⑧that Daisy cried,“I'm sorry I didn't know that.I wonder what is being done to help you.Flying carpet, please show me a place where there's some wildlife protection.”
The flying carpet travelled so fast that next minute they were in Zimbabwe. Daisy turned around⑨and found that she was being watched by an elephant.“Have you come to take my photo⑩?”it asked.In relief?Daisy burst into laughter?.“Don't laugh,”said the elephant,“We used to be an endangered species.Farmers hunted us without mercy?.They said we destroyed their farms, and money from tourists only went to the large tour companies.So the government decided to help.They allowed tourists to hunt only a certain? number of animals if they paid the farmers.Now the farmers are happy and our numbers are increasing.So good things are being done here to save local wildlife.”

戴茜是如何学会保护
野生动植物的
戴茜一直都渴望帮助那些濒临灭绝的野生动植物。一天她醒来,发现床边有一块飞毯。飞毯问:“你想去哪儿?”戴茜立刻回答。“我想去看一些濒临灭绝的野生动植物。请带我到遥远的地方,在那里我可以找到为制作这件毛衣而提供毛绒的动物。”她说。飞毯立刻起飞了,带她到了西藏。在那里,戴茜看到一只藏羚羊面带忧郁的神色。它说:“为了取得我们肚皮底下的羊毛,我们正在被屠杀。我们的毛皮被用来为像你一样的人们制作毛衣。因此,我们现在濒临灭绝了。”听了这话,戴茜哭了:“我很抱歉,我过去不知道还有这回事儿。我想知道为了帮助你们正在采取什么措施。飞毯啊,请把我带到一个有野生动植物保护的地方去吧。”
飞毯飞行得如此之快,以至于一转眼他们就来到了津巴布韦。戴茜转过身去,看到一头大象正望着她。大象问道:“你是来给我拍照的吗?”戴茜如释重负,突然笑了起来。“不要笑了,”大象说道,“我们过去是濒危动物,农民们残忍地捕杀我们。他们说,我们破坏了他们的农田,而旅游者的钱过去都流进了大型旅游公司。于是政府决定出面提供帮助。如果游客付给农民钱的话,他们允许游客猎取一定数量的动物。如今农民高兴了,我们的数量也在增加。为了拯救当地的野生动植物,他们也在做一些好事。”
戴茜笑道:“那可是个好消息。这体现了野生动植物保护的重要性,不过,我还是想按照世界野生生物基金会的建议来帮助你们。”飞毯再次升起,几乎一转眼他们就到了茂密的热带雨林。一只猴子一边擦着身体,一边望着他们。戴茜问:“你在做什么呢?”它回答说:“我这样做可以防止蚊子叮咬。当我发现一种千足虫时,便把它擦在身上。它含有一种强效的药物可以防止蚊子叮咬。你们应该多加关注我生活的热带雨林,并且懂得热带雨林的动物是如何在一起生活的。没有雨林,就没有动物,也就没有药物了。”
戴茜很惊讶。“飞毯,请带我回家去,我可以告诉世界野生生物基金会,我们可以开始生产这种新药。猴子,请跟我回去帮忙吧。”猴子同意了,毯子飞回了家。当他们着地时,一切就开始消失了。两分钟后,什么都没了——猴子也没了。这样,戴茜就不能制造新药了。但是,多么奇妙的一次经历呀!她学到了那么多东西!而且,还一直有世界野生生物基金会……

“介词+关系代词”引导的定语从句
1.Have you ever dreamed of playing in front of thousands of people at a concert,at which everyone is clapping and appreciating your music?
2.They may start as a group of high-school students,for whom practising their music in someone's house is the first step to fame.

6.They produced a new record in 1996,with which they celebrated their former time as a real band.
一、基本用法
当关系代词在定语从句中充当介词的宾语时,我们可以用“介词+关系代词”引导定语从句。如果先行词为人时,用“介词+whom”;如果先行词为物时,用“介词+which”。who和that不能用于此结构,但介词后置时可以使用,如果作宾语也可以省略。
The ladder on which I was standing began to slip.
我脚下的梯子开始向下滑动。
二、“介词+关系代词”中介词的确定
1.根据先行词与介词的搭配习惯来确定。
I remember the day on which I joined the army.
我仍然记得我参军的那一天。(表示具体的“在哪一天”,用介词on)
2.根据定语从句中的谓语动词或形容词确定介词。该动词或形容词常与某些介词构成固定搭配。
He is the man for whom I'm waiting for a long time.
他是我等了很久的那个人。(wait for等待,为固定搭配)
He is a famous singer of whom we are proud.
他是一位我们引以为豪的著名歌唱家。(be proud of以……而自豪,为固定搭配)
3.根据句子的意思确定介词。
有些句子,先行词完全一样,定语从句中谓语动词也不是固定的动词短语。这时,需要根据句子所要表达的意思选用不同的介词。
This is the book without which I can't pass the exam.这是一本没有它我就不能通过考试的书。
三、“介词+关系代词”的特殊用法
1.“the+名词+of+关系代词”引导定语从句时,有时可用“whose+名词”或“of+关系代词+the+名词”替换。
I live in the room,the windows of which (=of which the windows=whose windows) face south.
我住在一个窗户朝南的房间里。
[名师点津] 在“the+名词+of+关系代词”或“of+关系代词+the+名词”中一定不能漏掉冠词the;在“whose+名词”结构中一定不能加上冠词the。
2.“名词/代词等+介词+关系代词”结构:有时“介词+关系代词”前会出现不定代词(all,both,none,neither,many,few,the rest等)、数词(分数、百分数等)及“the+最高级/比较级”等,用来表示部分、数目等意义。
The football team has 15 members,the oldest of whom is 25 years old.
这个足球队有15名队员,其中最大的25岁。

然后情况就不好了。弗雷迪和他的乐队无论走到哪儿都有人跟随着。甚至当他们戴着太阳镜或者留着络腮胡子时,人们也能认出他们来。即使他们上厕所,也会被歌迷发现。他们试图躲在图书馆的阅览室里,但也不管用。总有人在那儿(等着)!经常有一些人讨论他们的私生活,那些人不认识他们,但谈起来就好像是他们的密友一样。最后由于深感苦恼,神经高度紧张,弗雷迪和他的乐队意识到他们必须在感到太过痛苦之前离开这个国家。因此,他们离开了英国,回到了湖边,再也没有回去。

20世纪70年代,在纽约的大街上、俱乐部里,出现了一种新的音乐形式,它就是说唱音乐。现在,它开始走进课堂,而且配上它之后,效果很好。
Rapping in Class
Hip hop or rap music(说唱音乐)started on the street and in the clubs of the New York City in the 1970s.People rap to express how they feel about their lives and problems.
Would you like to rap in class? Well, actually hip pop music is played in more than 10,000 schools in the USA.Why?There is a new school program called “Flocabulary” in which teachers use texts and hip hop CDs to help teach different school subjects.The words of the songs are just what students are studying.This makes learning easy and fun.Students and teachers are excited about the good results it has had on exam marks.
Blake Harrison, a high school student, was the first person to come up with the idea of Flocabulary.The word “Flocabulary” comes from the word “flow” and “vocabulary”.“Flow” is a rap word for “style”, or the way a rapper says the words of a song.“Vocabulary” means the words you have to learn in a language.How did he get the idea? Well, he realized he could remember the words of a hip hop song very easily.So,why not make lessons into songs? Today together with Alex Rappaport, a song writer, Blake produces hip hop songs for math,science and literature.They are now used in schools with great success.

THE BAND THAT WASN'T
Have you ever wanted to be part①of a band as a famous singer or musician②?Have you ever dreamed of③ playing in front of thousands of people at a concert, at which everyone is clapping and appreciating your music? Do you sing karaoke and pretend④you are a famous singer like Song Zuying or Liu Huan?To be honest⑤, a lot of people attach great importance to⑥ becoming rich and famous.But just how do people form⑦a band?
Many musicians meet and form a band because they like to write and play their own music.They may start as a group of high-school students,for whom practising their music in someone's house is the first step to fame⑧.Sometimes they may play to passers-by⑨ in the street or subway so that they can earn⑩some extra?money for themselves or to pay for their instruments?.Later they may give performances? in pubs? or clubs, for which they are paid in cash?.Of course they hope to make records in a studio?and sell millions of copies to become millionaires?!
However, there was one band that started in a different way.It was called the Monkees? and began as a TV show?.The musicians were to play jokes on? each other as well as play music, most of which was based loosely on the Beatles.The TV organizers had planned to find four musicians who could act as well as sing.They put an advertisement in a newspaper looking for rock musicians, but they could only find one who was good enough.They had to use actors for the other three members of the band.
As some of these actors could not sing well enough, they had to rely on other musicians to help them.So during the broadcasts they just pretended to sing.Anyhow their performances were humorous enough to be copied by other groups.They were so popular that their fans formed clubs in order to get more familiar withthem.Each week on TV, the Monkees would play and sing songs written by other musicians.However, after a year or so in which they became more serious about their work, the Monkees started to play and sing their own songs like a real band.
Then they produced their own records and started touring and playing their own music.In the USA they became even more popular than the Beatles and sold even more records.The band broke up about 1970, but happily they reunited in the mid-1980s.They produced a new record in 1996,with which they celebrated their former time as a real band.

并非乐队的乐队
你曾经想过要成为一个乐队里有名的歌手或音乐家吗?你曾梦想过在音乐会上对着成千上万的观众演奏,观众(为你)鼓掌并欣赏你的音乐吗?你是否唱卡拉OK,并假装自己是像宋祖英或刘欢一样著名的歌唱家?说实在的,很多人把名和利看得很重要。但是人们是怎样组建乐队的呢?
许多音乐家聚在一起组建乐队,是因为他们喜欢自己作曲并演奏自己的音乐。他们起初可能是一群高中生,对他们来说,在某个人的家里练习音乐是成名的第一步。有时他们可能在街上或地铁里为过路者演奏,这样他们可以为自己或他们要买的乐器多挣一些钱。后来,他们可能在酒吧或者俱乐部里演出,这样他们可以得到现金。当然,他们希望在录音棚里制作唱片,然后卖掉数百万张唱片,从而成为百万富翁!
然而,也有一个用不同方式组建起来的乐队。这支乐队叫门基乐队,它是以电视节目的形式开始的。组成乐队的音乐人演奏音乐,还彼此打趣逗笑。这些音乐大多都在模仿“甲壳虫”乐队。电视制作人原计划寻找四位既能表演又能唱歌的音乐人。他们在报纸上登了一则广告,寻找摇滚音乐人,但他们只能找到一个足够好的。他们不得不用演员来充当乐队的其他三名成员。
因为这些演员中的有些人唱得不是很好,他仍不得不依靠其他乐手的帮助。所以在演出的时候他们只是假装在唱。不管怎样,他们的表演非常幽默,足以被其他乐队模仿。他们如此受欢迎以至于粉丝们为了更熟悉他们而成立了俱乐部。门基乐队每个星期都要在电视上弹奏和演唱由别的音乐人创作的歌曲。然而,在大约一年的时间里,门基乐队对他们的工作变得更加认真了,这一年之后,他们开始像一支真正的乐队那样演唱自己创作的歌曲。然后他们录制自己的唱片,并且开始巡回演奏他们自己的音乐。在美国,他们变得甚至比甲壳虫乐队更受欢迎,也售出了比他们更多的唱片。门基乐队大约在1970年解散,但令人高兴的是,在20世纪80年代中期他们重组了。1996年他们出了一张新唱片,以此来庆祝他们以往的作为一支真正的乐队的时光。
