2.Have
you
ever
heard
of
Ernest
Hemingway
and
his
works?How
much
do
you
know
about
his
novel
The
Old
Man
and
the
Sea?
The
Old
Man
and
the
Sea
The
Old
Man
and
the
Sea
is
one
of
Hemingway’s
most
famous
works.
It
tells
the
story
of
an
old
man
called
Santiago
who
goes
out
on
the
sea
to
fish.
At
this
point
in
the
story,he
has
finally
caught
a
huge
fish
after
84
days
of
catching
nothing.
As
the
fish
is
too
large
to
be
carried
on
his
little
boat,
he
ties
it
along
the
side
of
it.
However,
he
knows
that
he
will
face
many
dangers
on
the
way
home,because
the
blood
from
the
wounds
of
the
big
fish
could
attract
sharks.The
fish
is
likely
to
become
the
target
of
attack.This
passage
begins
at
the
moment
when
a
large
shark
approaches
the
fish.Can
the
old
man
survive
a
shark
attack?Will
he
be
able
to
fight
off
the
bloodthirsty
shark?Read
and
find
out.
The
old
man
took
one
look
at
the
great
fish
as
he
watched
the
shark
close
in.
I
cannot
keep
him
from
hitting
me,
（keep
sb
from
doing
sth.
阻止某人做某事）he
thought,but
maybe
I
can
get
him.
The
shark
closed
fast
on
the
boat
and
when
he
hit
the
fish
the
old
man
saw
his
mouth
open
and
his
strange
eyes
and
his
sharp
teeth
as
he
drove
forward
in
the
meat
just
above
the
tail.
The
old
man
could
hear
the
noise
of
skin
and
flesh
ripping
（rip
n.
裂口，裂缝vi.
裂开，被撕裂vt.
撕；锯）on
the
big
fish
when
he
threw
the
fishing
spear
into
the
shark’s
head
at
a
place
where
the
line
between
his
eyes
crossed
with
the
line
that
ran
straight
back
from
his
nose.
There
were
no
such
lines.T
here
was
only
the
heavy
sharp
blue
head
and
the
big
eyes
and
the
powerful
teeth.
But
that
was
the
location
of
the
brain
and
the
old
man
hit
it.
He
hit
it
with
his
wet,
bloody
hands
driving
a
good
spear
with
all
his
strength（此处是现在分词做状语，表示hit的伴随状态）.
He
hit
it
without
hope
but
with
determination
and
complete
hatred（hatred
n.
仇恨）.
The
shark
turned
over
and
the
old
man
saw
his
eye
was
not
alive
and
then
he
turned
over
once
again,
wrapping
himself
in
the
rope.
The
old
man
knew
that
he
was
dead
but
the
shark
would
not
accept
it.
Then,on
his
back,
with
his
tall
still
moving
and
his
mouth
opening
and
closing,
(此处是with的复合结构，with后面跟宾语，然后继续跟宾语补足语，这种结构即为with的符合结构；后面的宾语补足语和谓语的宾语补足语一样，注意逻辑关系，可以参考make后面跟宾语补足语的用法。)
the
shark
swam
over
the
water
as
fast
as
a
speedboat.The
water
was
white
where
his
tall
beat
it
and
three
quarters
of
his
body
was
clear
above
the
water
when
the
rope
broke.The
shark
lay
quietly
for
a
little
while
on
the
surface
and
the
old
man
watched
him.Then
he
went
down
very
slowly.
“He
took
about
forty
pounds,”
the
old
man
said
aloud.
He
took
my
spear
too
and
all
the
rope,
he
thought,
and
now
my
fish
bleeds
again
and
there
will
be
others.
He
did
not
like
to
look
at
the
fish
any
longer
since
the
shark
had
bitten
it.
When
the
shark
had
hit
the
fish,
it
was
as
though
he
himself
were
hit.（as
if
引导表语从句，表示仿佛、好像的意思）But
I
killed
the
shark
that
hit
my
fish,
he
thought.
And
that
was
the
biggest
shark
that
he
had
ever
seen.And
he
had
seen
big
ones
in
his
lifetime.
It
was
too
good
to
last,
he
thought.
I
wish
it
had
been
a
dream
now
and
that
I
had
never
caught
the
fish.
“But
man
is
not
made
for
defeat,”
he
said,
“A
man
can
be
destroyed
but
not
defeated.”
I
am
sorry
that
I
killed
the
fish
though,
he
though.
Now
the
bad
time
is
coming
and
I
do
not
even
have
the
spear.
The
shark
is
terrible
and
able
and
strong
and
intelligent（intelligent
adj.
智能的；聪明的；理解力强的）.
But
I
was
more
intelligent
than
he
was.
Perhaps
not,
he
thought.
Perhaps
I
was
only
better
armed.

老人与海
《老人与海》是海明威最著名的作品之一。它讲述了一个名叫桑提亚哥的老人出海捕鱼的故事。在故事的此时，他终于钓到了一条大鱼，而此前84天他一无所获。由于这条鱼太大，无法用小船载着，他就把它绑在船的一侧。然而，他知道在回家的路上他会面临很多危险，因为大鱼伤口流出的血会吸引鲨鱼。鱼很可能成为攻击的目标。这篇文章从一条大鲨鱼接近这条鱼的那一刻开始。那位老人能在鲨鱼袭击中幸存下来吗?他能打败嗜血的鲨鱼吗?阅读并找出答案。
老人看着鲨鱼逼近，向那条大鱼看了一眼。我不能阻止它来打我，他想，但也许我能抓住它。
鲨鱼紧紧地咬住了船，当它撞到鱼的时候，老人看见它的嘴张着，奇怪的眼睛和锋利的牙齿，就在鱼尾巴上方的肉上冲过去。当老人把鱼叉扔向鲨鱼的头部时，他能听到大鱼的皮和肉被撕扯的声音，在鲨鱼两眼之间的线和鼻子后面的线相交的地方。没有这样的界线。只有那沉重而尖锐的蓝色脑袋、大眼睛和有力的牙齿。但那是大脑的位置，老人击中了它。他用他那湿漉漉、血淋淋的手，使出全身的力气，举着一支锐利的长矛朝它刺去。他毫无希望，但带着决心和彻底的仇恨击中了它。
鲨鱼翻了个身，老人看到它的眼睛已经不转了，然后它又翻了个身，把自己裹在绳子里。老人知道他已经死了，但鲨鱼不肯接受。然后，鲨鱼仰面朝天，张着嘴，嘴巴还在动，像快艇一样飞快地游过水面。当绳子断了的时候，他身体的四分之三露出了水面。鲨鱼静静地在水面上躺了一会儿，老人注视着它。然后他慢慢地往下走。“它吃掉了大约四十磅肉，”老人大声说。他还把我的矛和绳子都拿走了，他想，现在我的鱼又在流血了，肯定还有别的鱼。自从那条鱼被鲨鱼咬了以后，他再也不愿意看它一眼了。当鲨鱼击中鱼的时候，就好像鲨鱼自己也被击中了一样。但我杀死了那条袭击我的鱼的鲨鱼，他想。那是他见过的最大的鲨鱼。他一生中也见过大的。太好了，不可能长久，他想。我真希望这是一场梦，但愿我从来没有钓到那条鱼。
“但人不是为失败而生的，”他说，“一个人可以被毁灭，但不能被打败。”“我很抱歉杀死了这条鱼，”他说。现在糟糕的时候到了，而我连矛都没有。鲨鱼很可怕，能干，强壮，聪明。但我比他更聪明。也许我没有,他想。也许我只是武装得更好。

The
passage
from
The
Old
Man
and
the
Sea
is
an
exciting
story
about
how
an
old
man
a
shark.At

home
his
huge
fish—his
first
after
84
days
of
catching
.
by
the
fish’s
blood,a
huge
shark
appeared
and
began
to
the
big
fish
tied
to
the
side
of
the
little
boat.The
old
man
took
his
spear
and
it
deep
into
the
shark’s
head.After
that
hit,the
shark
struggled
hard
to
get
away,
itself
in
the
rope
on
the
spear,and
then
jumped
out
of
water
with
over
three
of
its
body
over
the
white
waves.It
was
finally
killed,sinking
into

after
the
and
became
a
little
worried
about
the
journey
ahead:he
had
lost
his
only
spear,and
the
fish
was
again.He
was
certain
that
there
would
be
more
sharks
to
come.However,he
was
trying
to
tell
himself
that
a
man
could
be
but
never
be
defeated.With
this
in
mind,he
was
ready
to
face
more
challenges.

When
I
learnt
to
ride
a
bicycle,I
had
a
problem.I
didn’t
know
how
to
maintain
my
balance.I
thought
it
was
easy
as
long
as
I
could
hold
it
straight.But
when
I
practised,it
seemed
too
difficult
to
control.It
required
all
of
my
strength
to
keep
it
moving,but
soon
I
fell
off
my
bike.I
failed,but
it
was
hard
to
accept
it.Later
on,I
carefully
watched
how
my
father
kept
his
balance
with
his
feet
and
hands.With
more

In
2004,Yuan
Longping
received
the
World
Food
Prize.Thanks
to
his
work,China’s
rice
production
has
increased
dramatically.How
did
he
do
it?
Yuan
Longping
was
born
in
1930
in
Hubei.As
a
child,he
was
very
interested
in
plants
and
other
living
things.He
grew
up
1to
be
a
curious
and
hard-working
plant
scientist.Yuan
wanted
to
solve
the
problem
of
food
shortages,so
he
began
conducting
experiments
2to
improve
rice
yields
per
hectare
(10,000m2).
Plants
come
in
many
different
varieties:for
example,some
types
of
rice
have
long
grains,while
others
have
short
grains.For
centuries,people
have
been
crossing
different
plant
varieties
3to
create
hybrids.Such
plants
proved
to
have
desirable
qualities
from
both
parents.Yuan
believed
that
it
was
possible
to
do
the
same
with
rice.He
tried
different
ways
of
creating
rice
hybrids.4only
to
discover
that
his
attempts
were
unsuccessful.
Even
though
it
often
seemed
too
difficult
5to
complete
this
task,Yuan
didn’t
give
up.After
many
years
of
hard
work,his
experiments
finally
bore
fruit.This
was
a
major
discovery
since
no
one
had
previously
been
able
to
cross
two
different
kinds
of
rice.It
had
a
huge
impact:the
first
hybrid
rice
variety
increased
China’s
nice
production
by
100
million
tonnes
in
little
over
a
decade.
Yuan
didn’t
stop
there—instead,he
continued
experimenting
and
created
super
hybrid
rice
with
yields
over
15
tonnes
of
rice
per
hectare.Thanks
to
Yuan’s
work,China
became
self-sufficient
in
rice.Our
country
continued
to
increase
its
rice
yields
6to
become
one
of
the
biggest
food
donors
in
the
world.In
2019,he
received
the
Medal
of
the
Republic
for
his
outstanding
contributions.At
the
age
of
90,Yuan
Longping
still
hasn’t
retired.With
a
growing
global
population,the
world
needs
to
produce
enough
food
7to
feed
everyone,and
Yuan
is
working
to
make
this
happen.
a.The
to-infinitive
can
be
used
to
show
the
purpose
of
an
action.
b.The
to-infinitive
can
also
be
used
to
show
a
result.
c.If
the
result
is
negative,it
is
common
to
put
the
adverb
immediately
before
the
infinitive.
2.Rewrite
the
numbered
parts
using
to
infinitives
of
purpose
or
result.

·You
may
report
like
this:I
read
my
sentences
to
three

D.Writing
Students’
voices
Nowadays
more
and
more
people
stress
the
importance
of
sports.Some
students
suggest
having
one
more
PE
class
every
day.Write
an
essay
to
your
school
newspaper
and
express
your
opinions
on
the
topic
“Should
students
have
one
more
PE
class
every
day?”
1.Before
you
write,brainstorm
some
ideas
and
write
them
down.Think
about
the
questions
below.
(1)Are
they
closely
connected
with
the
topic?
(2)Are
they
the
most
interesting
ideas?
(3)Are
there
strong
arguments
and
examples
to
support
these
ideas?
2.Read
the
sample
essay
on
the
topic
“The
most
important
thing
isn’t
winning
a
competition.It’s
taking
part.”
Which
conclusion
from
A-C
best
summarizes
the
writer’s
arguments?Why?Then
complete
the
table
on
page
71
before
you
write.
“The
most
important
thing
isn’t
winning
a
competition.It’s
taking
part.”
Do
you
agree?
by
Liu
Tiantian
①In
every
competition,there
are
winners
and
losers.Some
people
think
that
anything
except
first
place
is
a
failure.Others
believe
that
we
should
celebrate
everyone’s
achievements
equally.Which
is
more
important,winning
or
taking
part?
②In
my
view,winning
isn’t
the
only
way
to
be
successful.Of
course,you
should
always
try
to
do
your
best,but
you
must
be
realistic.For
instance,If
you
aren’t
very
fit
and
have
never
taken
part
in
a
race
before,then
you
probably
won’t
win
this
time.You
can’t
win
every
race,but
you
can
always
aim
to
be
better
than
last
time.If
you
arrived
in
20th
place
last
year,then
finishing
in
fifth
place
this
year
is
a
great
result.
③In
addition,not
everyone
wants
to
be
the
winner.People
have
different
reasons
for
entering
a
competition.For
example,in
a
big
marathon
race
there
are
often
professional
athletes
at
the
front
and
ordinary
people
at
the
back.The
professional
athletes
goal
is
to
win,but
for
many
ordinary
people
just
finishing
a
marathon
is
a
huge
achievement.
④On
the
other
hand,It
would
be
wrong
if
we
didn’t
praise
the
winners
achievement
more
than
everyone
else’s.Winning
an
important
competition
such
as
the
Olympic
Games
often
takes
years
of
determination
and
hard
work.However,there
can
only
be
one
winner
and
the
other
people
who
take
part
in
the
competition
are
just
as
important
to
its
success.
A.
To
conclude,it
is
clear
that
taking
part
and
winning
are
equally
important.If
you
don’t
take
part
in
a
competition,you
can
never
win.
B
In
summary,I
think
that
winning
is
not
important,Healthy
fun
in
a
competition
is
the
only
thing
that
matters.
C
To
sum
up,I
believe
that
people
should
be
praised
for
winning
a
competition,but
taking
part
and
do
your
best
are
more
important.

It’s
not
easy
to
attain
success.In
order
to
be
successful
and
achieve
important
things,we
need
to
hold
firm
to
our
beliefs
and
never
give
up.
In
this
section,you
will
first
read
a
passage
about
people
who
accomplished
great
things
despite
enormous
difficulties
at
the
beginning.You
will
then
watch
a
video
about
three
table
tennis
champions
who
are
working
hard
to
reach
the
top.

Albert
Einstein:
He
started
speaking
at

couldn’t
read
until
7.He
had
learning
difficulties.He
was
expelled
from
school.
He
is
one
of
the
most
important
physicists
of
the
20th
century.He
received
a
Nobel
Prize
in
1921.
A
false
start
Many
who
have
achieved
success
started
out
as
failures.Below
are
three
of
the
most
famous.
A
late
developer
with
a
curious
mind
Albert
Einstein
is
perhaps
one
of
the
most
intelligent
men
that
have
ever
lived.However,people
thought
differently
in
the
past.Einstein
didn’t
start
speaking
until
he
was
four
years
old
and
he
couldn’t
read
until
he
was
seven.His
teachers
said
he
had
learning
difficulties
and
eventually
he
was
expelled
from
school.Einstein
went
on
to
become
one
of
the
most
important
physicists
of
the
20th
century
and
received
a
Nobel
Prize
in
1921.
He
never
knew
success
One
of
the
unluckiest
artists
in
the
world
is
the
Dutch
painter
Vincent
van
Gogh.Only
one
person
bought
a
painting
from
him
during
his
life,and
that
person
was
a
friend
who
paid
very
little
money
for
it.However,the
painter
continued
with
his
work
and
complete
over
eight
hundred
pictures
before
he
died.Today,you
can
see
his
beautiful
paintings
in
the
most
famous
art
museums
in
the
world
and
they
sell
for
a
huge
amount
of
money.
Hard
work
counts
Hua
Luogeng(1910-1985)
was
one
of
the
greatest
mathematicians
in
China,but
he
didn’t
get
an
easy
start:his
family
didn’t
have
much
money,so
he
couldn’t
afford
to
complete
his
education.However,Hua
did
received
the
support
of
a
dedicated
teacher
while
he
was
at
school.He
loved
maths
and
studied
so
hard
that
he
managed
to
win
a
national
abacus
competition.
Then
something
terrible
happened:because
of
a
serious
illness,his
left
leg
became
permanently
paralysed.Despite
this
terrible
setback,Hua
continued
to
study
on
his
own
and
develop
his
talents.When
Hua
discovered
a
mistake
in
an
important
maths
paper,he
was
invited
to
work
at
Tsinghua
University,and
the
rest
is
history.
