Section Lesson 2 & Lesson 3 Prereading原文呈現(xiàn) A Tranquil Nightby Li BaiBefore my bed a frost of light，Is it hoarfrost upon the ground?Eyes raised， I see the moon so bright；Head bent， in homesickness I am drowned.Translated by Yu Yuanzhang The Night Before ChristmasAdapted and abridgedOriginal by Major Henry Livingstone Jr. or Clement Clarke MooreIt was the night before Christmas，And all through the houseNothing was moving，Not even a mouse.The stockings had been hungWith attention and careIn the hope that SantaSoon would be there.The children were sleepingSafe in their beds，While vague dreams of presentsDanced in their heads.My wife, wearing a scarf，And I, wearing a cap，Had just settled ourselvesFor a long winter nap.And then, in an instant，I heard on the roofThe stepping and scratchingOf each little hoof.As I pulled in my head，And was turning around，Down came stout SantaIn a single bound.His oval eyes shinedAnd his face looked so merry!His cheeks were like roses His nose like a cherry！His cute little mouthTurned up like a bow，And the beard and moustacheWere as white as the snow；He didnt speak a wordAnd went straight to work.He filled all the stockingsAnd then turned with a jerk.After looking aroundAnd scratching his nose，He gave a nodAnd up the chimney he rose.He jumped into his sleighAnd gave a loud whistle，And away he flewLike the seeds of a thistle.But I heard him shout，Before he drove out of sight，“Merry Christmas to all，And to all a good night.”讀文清障tranquil/trkwIl/adj.平靜的，寧靜的hoarfrost/hfrst/n.白霜eyes raised是“名詞過去分詞”類型的獨立主格結(jié)構(gòu)，在句中作狀語。下句中的head bent也是此用法。bend/bend/v.彎曲homesickness/hmsIknIs/n.想家，思鄉(xiāng)drown/dran/vi.&vt.淹沒，淹死be drowned in沉浸在中，淹沒在中adapt vt.改編，改寫adapt . from .根據(jù)改編adapt . for .把改編成abridge v刪節(jié)，節(jié)略hang v吊，懸掛其過去式、過去分詞分別為hung, hung。hang作“絞死、吊死”講時，其過去式、過去分詞分別為hanged，hanged。with attention留心地，注意地with care 小心地；慎重地in the hope that .抱著的希望形容詞短語safe in their beds作狀語，說明主語所處的狀態(tài)。vague/veI/adj.模糊的wearing a scarfwho was wearing a scarfsettle v定居；安排settle in在定居settle down(使)平靜，(使)安定nap n小睡in an instant馬上，立刻(in a while/moment/minute)the instant (that)一就hoof/huf/n.蹄以in, out, away, off, up, down等副詞開頭的句子中，動詞是come, go, jump, rush等，若主語不是代詞而是名詞，則用完全倒裝結(jié)構(gòu)。stout/stat/adj.肥胖的bound/band/n.一跳，一躍oval/vl/adj.卵形的，橢圓形的his nose .中省略了was。turn up向上翹bow/b/n.弓；弧形物；蝴蝶結(jié)beard指下巴上的胡須moustache指唇上部的胡須jerk/dk/n.猛拉，猛的一動look around環(huán)顧四周chimney/tImni/n.煙囪rise vi.(rose，risen)上升，升起sleigh/sleI/n.雪車，雪橇thistle/Isl/n.薊(一種野生植物，葉片帶刺，開紫花)out of sight在視線之外，看不見引號中的兩行是shout的直接引語。課文翻譯靜夜思李白床前明月光，疑是地上霜。舉頭望明月，低頭思故鄉(xiāng)。由Yu Yuanzhang翻譯圣誕節(jié)前夜(節(jié)選并改寫自小梅杰亨利利文斯通或克萊門特克拉克穆爾的原作)這是圣誕節(jié)的前夜，整座屋子毫無聲響，沒有一人走動，連老鼠也一樣。小心翼翼將長襪掛好，滿懷著希望，盼圣誕老人到來。孩子們都已安睡在各自的床上，腦海中閃動著收到禮物的夢想。妻子戴上圍巾，我戴上帽子，做好準備，睡個冬天的長覺。轉(zhuǎn)眼之間在屋頂上，傳來小蹄子踢踏的聲響。等我縮回頭，再轉(zhuǎn)過身，健壯的圣誕老人一躍而下。他橢圓的眼睛閃閃發(fā)光，臉上滿是歡笑！他的兩頰像玫瑰，鼻子像是櫻桃！他那可愛的小嘴向上翹著像把彎弓，他的胡須像雪一樣白；他一句話也不說，趕忙開始干活，把長襪都裝滿，匆忙就把身轉(zhuǎn)。他向四周望望，用手指撓撓鼻子，又滿意地點點頭，縱身躍上煙囪。他跳上雪橇，大聲吹個口哨，迅速遠去，好像薊花的絨毛。在離開之前，我聽見他高喊“圣誕快樂，各位晚安?！?PrereadingPlease match the words with their proper meanings.1accessible Ato excite or please sb. very much2deliver Bto become or make oneself fresh again3thrill Ccapable of being reached; easily obtained4refresh Dto take goods, letters etc. to a particular place or person5vain Ea positive feeling of liking6convey Fto make ideas, feelings, etc. known to sb.7tendency Gan attitude of mind especially one that favors one alternative over others8affection Hthinking too highly of oneself9bend Inever finishing10endless Jto cause sth. to be out of straight line15_610_答案：15CDABH610FGEJILeadinDo you like poems?

And some beauty products can cause lasting damage that goes far below the surface of the skin.In the United States, many people use sunlight and nonnatural light to darken their skin.Health experts advise against what is called “tanning” because of its links to skin cancer.In the African country of Senegal (塞內(nèi)加爾), some women take health risks trying to do just the_opposite.An average beauty supply shop in Dakar has many kinds of skinlightening creams and soaps.The World Health Organization says that 25 percent of Senegalese women use skinlightening products on a usual basis.These products can contain chemicals such as mercury (汞), hydroquinone (對苯二酚), etc.These are dangerous ingredients that can cause cancer and possibly other physical damage to the skin.They can actually burn the eyes and skin.Shop worker Adama Diagne advises her visitors to avoid the stronger products that promise fast results.She uses a cream that is made from carrots and not the strong chemical, hydroquinone.She says that it is a personal choice and that no one pressures her.Some women want to be black every day, but for her, she likes to be a shade of brown.Women in Senegal say they lighten their skin for the same reason that women all over the world make changes to their appearance.They say they want to look beautiful, to find a husband, or to stand out in a crowd or simply to look great for a special event.This thinking troubles Senegalese filmmaker Khardiata Pouye Sall.So, she made This Color That Bothers Me, a film about the subject of skin lightening.She said, “I used the most shocking images so that women would see the dangers.It is hard to understand why a woman says that dark skin is not beautiful.It is in their heads.They want to please a man, to be loved.Or they want to please society, to succeed.”Ms Sall says that the government needs to better control the marketing and sale of skin lightening products.But she adds that education is the best way to persuade people against using them.語篇解讀：本文是說明文。塞內(nèi)加爾的女性為了美使用的一些化學產(chǎn)品給其帶來了極大的危害。1.The underlined parts “the opposite” in Paragraph 2 means some Senegalese women _.Ause sunlight to darken their skinBtry creams to prevent skin cancerCuse products to lighten their skinDtake health risks to become beautiful解析：選C詞義猜測題。根據(jù)第二段的第一句“In the United States, many people use sunlight and nonnatural light to darken their skin.”可推知，塞內(nèi)加爾的一些女性正好和美國人相反，與“darken their skin”相反。2According to Adama Diagne, women shouldnt believe _.Abeauty is just a personal choiceBa cream from carrots is healthierCit is beautiful to be black every dayDa product can make you beautiful quickly解析：選D細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)第四段的第一句“Shop worker Adama Diagne advises her visitors to avoid the stronger products that promise fast results.”可知，Adama Diagne不贊同人們用快速見效的美容產(chǎn)品。3We can infer that women in Senegal _.Aattract attention with shocking imagesBdont consider dark skin to be beautifulCfind it hard to understand the true beautyDput beauty in their first place in their heads解析：選B推理判斷題。根據(jù)第六段的“It is hard to understand why a woman says that dark skin is not beautiful.”可推知，塞內(nèi)加爾的女性并不認為黑皮膚是漂亮的。4What is Salls attitude towards skinlightening products?AUnsupportive.BCasual.CReasonable.

Whether youre playing Hamlet, delivering a political message or presenting a school meeting, you must have a story to tell, a message to pass on and a clear sense of purpose.”9.What do we know about the applicants?AThey were teens worldwide.BThey were fond of playing jokes.CThey had great interest in social problems.DThey loved discussing what mattered to them.解析：選D細節(jié)理解題。由第二段中的“a desire to talk publicly and enthusiastically about what was important to them”可知，申請人都有強烈的愿望想公開、熱情地談?wù)搶λ麄冎匾氖虑椤?0What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?AThe topics of speeches.BThe requirements for each step.CThe ways of winning the competition.DThe standards of judging the speakers.解析：選B段落大意題。由第三段的描述可知，本段主要講述了在比賽的不同階段對參賽者的要求。11What was the aim of the competitors Malawi trip?ATo film a video.BTo learn speaking skills.CTo study childrens rights.DTo deliver their final speech.解析：選C細節(jié)理解題。由倒數(shù)第二段中的“They were taken on a research trip to Malawi，where they found out first hand the effects of childrens rights, ahead of their final speech.”可知，參賽者的馬拉維之旅主要是研究兒童權(quán)利。12What did Jeremy Stockwell think a good speaker should be?ABrave and optimistic.BConfident and inspiring.CTalkative and sensitive.DScholarly and determined.解析：選B推理判斷題。由最后一段中的“An effective speaker must know and trust who they are .you must have a story to tell，a message to pass on and a clear sense of purpose.”可知，Jeremy Stockwell認為一個好的演講者一定是自信且激勵人心的。.閱讀七選五Increase your creativityEvery month I face the same problem how to write educational, informative and, hopefully, interesting articles._1_.At other times my mind goes blank (空白的), and I experience a creative block.At times we all face creative challenges in life, from designing websites to decorating our apartments, but there are ways to work through creative slumps (低潮)DaydreamFor years, others may have told you to stop daydreaming._2_.Daydreaming sometimes helps you take a more creative approach to your problem.Be happySome studies suggest that a positive mood (心情) encourages creativity because it increases activity in the parts of the brain related to
