But he became （inspire） when he thought about helping ordinary people e to cholera. This was the most deadly disease of its day. Neither its cause, nor its c was understood. So many thousands of terrified people died every time there was an o . John Snow wanted to use his knowledge to help （solve）this problem. He knew it would never be c until its cause was found. He got interested in two t explaining how cholera killed people. The first suggested that cholera m in the air without reason. A cloud of dangerous gas would f around until it found its victims. The second suggested that people （absorb）this disease into their bodies with their meals. From the stomach the disease a the body quickly and soon the （affect）person was dead. He believed in the second theory needed to prove he was correct. So when another outbreak h London in 1854, John Snow was ready to test these two theories. As the disease s quickly through the poor neighborhoods, John Snow began to g the information. He found that in two particular streets, the cholera outbreak was so s that more than 500 people had died in 10 days. He (determine) to find out why. He marked on a map w all the dead people had lived. Here it is: The map gave a valuable c about the cause of the disease. Many of the deaths were near the water p in Broad Street (especially number 16, 37, 38 and 40Broad Street).John Snow a saw that some houses (such as 20 and 21 Broad Street and 8 and 9 Cambridge Street) had h no deaths. He discovered that these f worked on the pub at 7 Cambridge Street. They were given free beer and so had not d the water from the Broad Street pump. It seemed the water was to (blame). Next, John Snow looked into the s of the water for these two streets. He found that it came from the river, w had been polluted by _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 40 the dirty water from London. I John Snow told the astonished people in Broad Street to r the handle from the water pump so it could not be used. Soon the disease began to s down. John Snow had shown that cholera was spread by germs and not in a cloud of gas. In a , he found two other deaths in another part of London that were l to the Broad Street outbreak. A woman, who had moved a from Broad Street, liked the water so much that she had had it d from the pump to her house every day. Both she and her daughter, w often visited her, died of cholera after drinking the water. With this extra e John Snow was able to a with certainty that polluted water carried the disease. To p this from happening again, John Snow suggested that the s of all water supplies be examined and new methods of with polluted water be found. The water companies were also i not to expose people to polluted water a . Finally “King Cholera” was defeated. COPERNICUS’ REVOLUTIONARY THEORY Nicolaus Copernicus was frightened and his mind was c . Although he had tried to i them, all his mathematical calculations led to the same c : that the earth was not the center of the solar system. Only if you put the sun there did the m of the other plants in the sky make . Yet he could not tell anyone about his theory as the powerful Christian Church would have punished him for even （suggest）such an idea. They believed God had made the world and for that r the earth was s and must be the center of the solar system. The problem a because astronomers had noticed that some planets in the sky seemed to stop. Move and then go forward in a loop. Others appeared brighter at times and less bright at . This was very s if the earth was the center of the solar system and all planets went round it. Copernicus had thought long and h about these problems and tried to find an answer. He had collected （observe）of the stars and used _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 41 all his mathematical knowledge to e them. But only his new theory could do that. So between 1510 and 1514 he worked on it, g____ improving his theory until he felt it was c____ . In 1514 he showed it privately to his friends. The c____ he made to the old theory were revolutionary. He placed a ____ (a. fixing b. fixed) sun at the center of the solar system with the planets ____ round it and only the mood still going round the earth. He a____ suggested that the earth was ____ (spin) as it went round the sun and this explained changes in the movement of the planets and in the ____ (bright) of the stars. His friends were enthusiastic and encouraged him to p____ his ideas, but Copernicus was c____ . He did not want to be attacked by the Christian Church, so he only published it as he lay ____( die) in 1543. Certainly he was right to be careful. The Christian Church r____ his theory, saying it was against God’s idea and people who s____ it would be attacked. Yet Copernicus’s theory is now the base ____ which all our ideas of the universe are built. His theory r____ the Christian idea of gravity, which said things fell to earth because God c____ the earth as the center of the universe. Copernicus showed this was ____ (obvious) wrong. Now people can see that there is a direct ____ between his theory and the work of Isaac Newton, Albert Einstein and Stephen hawking. _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 42 Unit 2 The United Kingdom PUZZLES IN GEOGRAPHY There is no need to d____ any more about why different words are used to d____ the four countries: England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

I had heard of the killers that every year helped the whalers catch the huge whales. I thought, at the time, that this was just a story but then I w______ it with my own eyes many times. On the afternoon I arrived at the station, as I was s_____ out my a______, I heard a huge noise coming from the bay. We ran down to the shore in time to see an enormous animal t_____ itself out of the water and then c_____ down again. It was black and white and fish-shaped. But I knew it wasn’t a fish. “That’s Old Tom, the killer,” one of the whalers, George, c_____ out to me. “He’s telling us there’s a whale out there for us.” Another whaler y_____ out, “Rush-oo… rush-oo…” This was the call that a_____ there was about to be a whale hunt. “Come on, Clancy. To the boat,” George said as he ran a_____ of me. I had already heard that George didn’t like b_____ kept waiting, so even though I didn’t have the right clothes on, I g_____ my boots and reach after him. We jumped into the boat with the other whalers and h_____ out into the bay. I looked down i_____ the water and could see Old Tom swimming by the boat, s_____ us the way. A few minutes later, there was no Tom, so George s_____ beating the water with his oar and there was Tom, circling back to the boat, l_____ us to the hunt again. In the d_____ we could see that something was happening. As we d______ closer, I could see a whale being attacked by a pack of about six other killers. “What’re they doing?” I asked George. “ Well, they are working as a team---the killers over there are t______ themselves on the top of the whale’s blow-hole to stop it breathing. And those others are stopping it f_____ out to sea,” George told me, pointing towards the hunt. And just at that moment, the most e_____ thing happened.

Then the harpoon was ready and the man in the b_____ of the boat aimed it at the whale. He let it go and the harpoon hit the s______. Being badly w______, the whale soon died. Within a moment or two, its body was dragged by killers down into the d_____ of the sea. The men started turning the boat around to go home. “What’s h______ ?” I asked, “Have we lost the whale?” “Oh, no,” Jack replied. “We’ll return tomorrow to bring in the body. It won’t f_____ up to the surface for around 24 hours.” “In the m_____, Old Tom, and the others are having a good feed on its lips and tongue,” added Red, laughing. ***** Although Old Tom and the other killers were f_____ hunters, they never h____ or attacked people. In fact, they protected them. There was one day when we were out in the bay during a hunt and James was w_____ off the boat. “Man o______! Turn the boat around!” George shouted. The sea was rough that day and it was difficult to h_____ the boat. The waves were carrying James further a____ further away from us. From James’s face, I could see he was t______ of being abandoned by us. Then suddenly I saw a shark.. “Look, there’s a shark out there,” I screamed. “Don’t worry, Old Tom won’t l____ it near,” Red replied. It took over half an hour to get the boat back to James, and when we a_____ him, I saw James being held up in the water by Old Tom. I couldn’t believe my eyes. There were s______ of “Well done, Old Tom” and “Thank God” as we p_____ James back into the boat. And then Old Tom was off and back to the hunt w_____ the other killers were still attacking the whale.

It was like discovering a whole new d____ of life. The first thing I became aware of was all the vivid colours s____ me--- purples, reds, oranges, yellows, blues and greens. The corals were fantastic --- they were s____ like fans, plates, brains, lace, mushrooms, lettuces, the branches of trees and the h____ of deer. And all kinds of elegant fish were swimming in and round the corals. The fish didn’t seem to mind me s____ around them. I especially loved the little orange and white anemone fish that hide in the p____ tentacles of the sea anemones. And I also loved the small fish t____ clean the bodies of large fish--- I even saw them g____ inside their mouths and clean their teeth! It seemed there was a surprise w____ for me around every corner as I e____ small caves, shelves and narrow passages--- the yellow and green parrotfish h_____ upside down, gathering tiny plants off the coral with its hard bird-like mouth; a yellow-s____ red sea-slug sliding b____ a blue sea-star; an orange and blue-striped angelfish looking s____ at me; a large wise-looking turtle passing so close to me t____ I could have touched it. There were other c____ that I didn’t want to get too close to--- an eel w____ strong sharp teeth, with only its head showing from a hole, watching f_____ a tasty fish ( or my taste toe!); and the giant clam half b____ in some coral waiting for something to swim in between its thick green lips. Then there were two g____ reef sharks, each about one and a half metres long, which suddenly a____ from behind some coral. I told myself they weren’t dangerous but that didn’t stop me f____ feeling s____ to death for a moment! The water was quiet s____ but where the reef ended, there was a sharp d____ to the sandy ocean floor. I thought I was very brave when I swam over the edge of the reef and hung there looking d____ into depths of the ocean. My heart was b____ wildly--- I felt very exposed in such deep clear water. What a wonderful, l____ world it was down there! And what a tiny s____ I was in this enormous world! 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 69 Unit 4 Global Warming THEEARTH IS BECOMING WARMER —BUT DOES IT MATTER? During the 20th century the t____ of the earth rose about one degree Fahrenheit. That p____ doesn’t sound very much to you or me but it is a rapid increase c____ to most natural changes. So how has this come about and does it matter? Earth Care’s Sophie Armstrong e____ these questions. There is no d____ that the earth is becoming warmer (see Graph1) but there is fierce debate over whether it is human activity____ has caused this global warming____(a. and b. or) whether it is just a natural phenomenon. Graph1: Temperature difference from long-term average, 1860-2000 Many scientists believe that people have c____ the increase in the earth’s temperature t____ the burning of fossil fuels like coal, natural gas and oil to produce e____. Some byproducts of this process are called “greenhouse” gases, the most important one b____ carbon dioxide. Dr Janice Foster explains, “You see, there is a natural p____ that scientists call the ‘greenhouse effect’. This is ____(a. while b.when)small amounts of gases in the atmosphere, like carbon d____, methane and water vapour, trap heat from the sun and t____ warm the earth. Without the ‘greenhouse effect’, the earth would be about thirty-three degree Celsius c____ than it is. So, we need those gases. The problem begins when we add huge q____ of extra carbon dioxide to the a____ by burning fossil fuels. The increased amount of carbon dioxide means that more heat energy is t____ in the atmosphere causing the g____ temperature to go up.” We know that the l____ of carbon dioxide have increased greatly over the last 100 to 150 years. It was a scientist c____ Charles Keeling who made a____ measurements of the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere from 1957 to 1997. He found that, b____ these years, the carbon dioxide c____ of the atmosphere went up from around 315 parts per million to a____ 370 parts per million (see Graph 2). All scientists a____ this data. They also believe it is the burring of more fossil fuels that is r____ in this increase in carbon dioxide.

Dr Janice Foster says that over the next 100 years the a____ of warming could be as ____ as 1to 1.5 degrees Celsius but it could be as much as 5 degree Celsius. Graph 2: Carbon dioxide content in the atmosphere, 1957-1997 “An increase of five degrees would be a c____, I would say. We can’t p____ the climate well enough know what to expert. But it could be very serious.” How serious? Some people think future global warming would c____ the sea level to rise d____, famines, the spread of diseases, and the destruction of species. On the other hand, there are those, ____(a. as b. like) scientist George Hambley, ____(a. who b. that) believe that we should not worry about high levels of carbon dioxide in the air and that some scientists’ c____ about global warming are just s____. He predicts that any warming will be mild with few bad e____ consequences. In fact, he states, “More carbon dioxide is actually a p____ thing. It will make plants grow faster; crops will produce more; it will e____ a greater range of animals—all of which will make life for human being b____.” Greenhouse gases c____ to build up in the atmosphere. Even if we start r____ the amount of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases, the climate is going to keep on warming for d____ or centuries. No one knows ____(a. what b. that) the effects of global warming will be. Does that mean we should do nothing? Or, are the r____ too great? WHAT CAN WE DO ABOUT GLOBAL WARMING? Dear Earth Care I am doing a p____ at school on what we can do about global warming. Sometimes I feel that i____ cannot have any effect on such huge environmental problems. A____, I'm not sure where to start with my project and would love to get any s____ you have.

I travel to u____ places and meet interesting people from all over the world. Sometimes working o____, sometimes in an office, sometimes using scientific i____ in my work and sometimes meeting with l people and tourists, I am never bored. Although my job is occasionally dangerous I don’t mind, because danger e____ me and makes me feel alive. However, the most important thing about my job is that I help to protect people from one of the most powerful natural f____ on earth —— the volcano. I am a volcanologist working for the Hawaiian Volcano Observatory ( HVO).My main job is collecting information about Mount Kilauea, which is one of the most a____ volcanoes in Hawaii. Having collected and e____ the information, I help other scientists to p____ where lava from the volcano will flow next and how fast it will flow. Our work has saved many lives because people in the p____ of the lava can be warned to leave their homes. U____, we can’t move their homes out of the way and many houses have been covered with lava or b____ to the ground. When b____ (a. boiling b. boiled) rock erupts from the volcano and c ____ back to earth, it causes less damage than you might imagine. This is because no one lives near the top of Mount Kilauea w____ the rocks fall. The lava that flows slowly down the mountain causes far more d____ (a. destroy b. damage) because it buries everything in its path under the m____ rock. However, the eruption itself is really exciting to watch and I’ll never forget my first s____ of an eruption. It was in the second week after I arrived in Hawaii. H____ worked hard all day, I went to bed early. I was f____ asleep when suddenly my bed began shaking and I heard strange sound, like a railway train p____ outside my window. Having experienced quite a few earthquakes in Hawaii already, I didn’t take much n____ . I was about to go back to sleep when suddenly my bedroom became as b____ as day. I ran out of the house into the back garden where 该栏 20 字符 行距 20 磅 _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 73 I could see Mount Kilauea in the d____. There had been an eruption in the side of the mountain and red hot lava was f____ hundreds of metres into the air. It was an absolutely f____ sight. The day after this eruption I was lucky enough to have a much c____ look at it. Two other scientists and I were driven up the mountain and dropped as close as p____ to the crater that had been f____ during the eruption. Having earlier collected special clothes from the o____ , we put them on before we went a____ closer. All three of us l____ like spacemen. We had white p____ suits that covered our whole body, helmets, big boots and special gloves. It wasn’t very easy to walk ____ these suits, but we slowly m____ our way to the edge of the crater and looked down into the red, boiling centre. The other two climbed down into the crater to collect some lava for later study, but this b____ my first experience; I stayed at the top and watched them. Today, I am just as e____ about my job as the day I first started. Having s____ volcanoes now for more than twenty years, I am still amazed at their beauty as well as their p____ to cause great damage. THE LAKE OF HEAVEN Changbaishan is in Jilin Province, Northeast China. Much of this beautiful, m____ (mountain) area is thick forest. Changbaishan is China’s largest nature r____ and is kept in its natural r____ for the people of China and visitors from all over the world to enjoy. The height of the land v____ from 700 meters above sea level to over 2000 meters and is h____ to a great d____ of plants and animals. Among the rare animals are cranes, black bears, leopards and Siberian tigers. Many people come to Changbaishan to study the u____ plants and animals. Others come to walk in the mountains, to see the s____ waterfalls or to bathe in the hot water pools. However, the most popular a____ (attract) in the reserve is Tianchi, or Lake of Heaven. Tianchi is a deep lake that has formed in the c____ of a dead volcano on top of the mountain. The lake is 2194 meters above sea level. It is more _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 74 than 200 meters deep, and in the winter the surface f____ over. It takes about an hour to climb from the end of the road to the top of the mountain. When you arrive you are r____ not only by the sight of the c____ clear waters of the Lake of Heaven, but also by the view of the other sixteen mountain peaks that s____ Tianchi. There are many stories told about Tianchi. The most well-known c____ three young women from heaven. They are b____ in Tianchi when a bird flew above them and dropped a small fruit onto the dress of the youngest girl. When she picked up the fruit to smell it, it flew into her mouth. Having s____ the fruit, the girl became p____ and some time later gave b____ to a handsome boy. It is said that this boy, who had a great gift for language and p____ (persuade), is the father of the Manchu people. If you are lucky enough to visit the Lake of Heaven with your l____ one, don’t forget to drop a coin into the clear, blue water to g____ your love will be as deep and l____ as the lake itself. _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 75 选修（七） Unit 1 Living Well MARTY’S STORY Hi, my name is Marty Fielding and I guess you could say I am “one in a million”.

I had heard o____ the killers that every year helped the whalers catch the h____ whales. I thought, at the time, that this was just a story but then I w_____ it with my own eyes many times. On the afternoon I arrived at the station, as I was s____ out my a_____, I heard a huge noise coming from the bay. We ran down to the shore in time to see an enormous animal t____ itself out of the water and then c____ down again. It was black and white and fish-shaped. But I knew it wasn’t a fish. “That’s Old Tom, the killer,” one of the whalers, George, c____ out to me. “He’s telling us there’s a whale out there for us.” Another whaler y____ out, “Rush-oo… rush-oo…” This was the call that a_____ there was about to be a whale hunt. “Come on, Clancy. To the boat,” George said as he ran a_____ of me. I had already heard that George didn’t like b_____ kept waiting, so even though I didn’t have the right clothes on, I g_____ my boots and reach after him. We jumped into the boat with the other whalers and h_____ out into the bay. I looked down i_____ the water and could see Old Tom swimming by the boat, s_____(a. showed b. showing) us the way. A few minutes later, there was no Tom, so George s_____ beating the water with his oar and there was Tom, circling back to the boat, l_____ us to the hunt again. In the d_____ we could see that something was happening. As we d_____ closer, I could see a whale being attacked by a pack of about six other killers. “What’re they doing?” I asked George. “ Well, they are working as a team---the killers over there are t______ themselves on the top of the whale’s blow-hole to stop it breathing. And those others are stopping it f_____ out to sea,” George 该栏 20 字符 行距 20 磅 _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 83 told me, pointing towards the hunt. And just at that moment, the most e_____ thing happened. The killers started r____ between our boat and the whale just like a p_____ of excited dogs. Then the harpoon was ready and the man in the b_____ of the boat aimed it at the whale. He let it go and the harpoon hit the s______. Being badly w______, the whale soon died. Within a moment or two, its body was dragged by killers down into the d_____ of the sea. The men started turning the boat around to go home. “What’s h______ ?” I asked, “Have we lost the whale?” “Oh, no,” Jack replied. “We’ll return tomorrow to bring in the body. It won’t f_____ up to the surface for around 24 hours.” “In the m_____, Old Tom, and the others are having a good feed on its lips and tongue,” added Red, laughing. ***** Although Old Tom and the other killers were f_____ hunters, they never h____ or attacked people. In fact, they protected them. There was one day when we were out in the bay during a hunt and James was w_____ off the boat. “Man o______! Turn the boat around!” George shouted. The sea was rough that day and it was difficult to h_____ the boat. The waves were carrying James further a____ further away from us. From James’s face, I could see he was t______ of being abandoned by us. Then suddenly I saw a shark.. “Look, there’s a shark out there,” I screamed. “Don’t worry, Old Tom won’t l____ it near,” Red replied. It took over half an hour to get the boat back to James, and when we a_____ him, I saw James being held up in the water by Old Tom. I couldn’t believe my eyes. There were s______ of “Well done, Old Tom” and “Thank God” as we p_____ James back into the boat. And then Old Tom was off and back to the hunt w_____ the other killers were still attacking the whale.

I went snorkelling on the reef this morning and it was the most f_____ thing I have ever done. Seeing such e____ beauty, I think every cell in my body woke up. It was like discovering a whole new d____ of life. The first thing I became aware of was all the vivid colours s____ me--- purples, reds, oranges, yellows, blues and greens. The corals were fantastic --- they were s____ like fans, plates, brains, lace, mushrooms, lettuces, the branches of trees and the h____ of deer. And all kinds of elegant fish were swimming in and round the corals. The fish didn’t seem to mind me s____ around them. I especially loved the little orange and white anemone fish that hide in the p____ tentacles of the sea anemones. And I also loved the small fish t____ clean the bodies of large fish--- I even saw them g____ inside their mouths and clean their teeth! It seemed there was a surprise w____ for me around every corner as I e____ small caves, shelves and narrow passages--- the yellow and green parrotfish h_____ upside down, gathering tiny plants off the coral with its hard bird-like mouth; a yellow-s____ red sea-slug sliding b____ a blue sea-star; an orange and blue-striped angelfish looking s____ at me; a large wise-looking turtle passing so close to me t____ I could have touched it. There were other c____ that I didn’t want to get too close to--- an eel w____ strong sharp teeth, with only its head showing from a hole, watching f_____ a tasty fish ( or my taste toe!); and the giant clam half b____ in some coral waiting for something to swim in between its thick green lips. Then there were two g____ reef sharks, each about one and a half metres long, which suddenly a____ from behind some coral. I told myself they weren’t dangerous but that didn’t stop me f____ feeling s____ to death for a moment! The water was quiet s____ but where the reef ended, there was a sharp d____ to the sandy ocean floor. I thought I was very brave when I swam over the edge of the reef and hung there looking d____ into depths of the ocean. My heart was b____ wildly--- I felt very exposed in such deep clear water. _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ _________________ 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 85 What a wonderful, l____ world it was down there!

It was wonderful to h____ from you. I know you’re dying to hear all about my life here. I have i come photos which will help you p____ the places I talk about. You asked about my high school. Well, it’s a b____ school — the classrooms are made from bamboo and the roofs from grass. It t____ me only a few m____ to walk to school. When I reach the school grounds there lots of “ good mornings” for me from the boys, many of w____ have walked a long way, sometimes u____ to two hours, to get to the school. There’s no e____ or water and we don’t have any textbooks. I’m still trying to a____ to these conditions but, one thing is for sure, I’ve become more i in my teaching. Science is my most challenging subject as there is no equipment and it I need water I have to c it from my house in a bucket! The other day I was showing the boys a chemistry e — before I knew it, the m____ was bubbling over everywhere! The boys had never come a anything like this and started jumping out of the windows. Sometimes I wonder how r chemistry is to the kids, most of whom will be going back to their v after year 8. In fact, I wonder whether I’m making any d to these boys’ lives at all. You asked whether I am getting to k any local people. Well, that’s actually quite difficult a I don’t speak much Pidgin English yet. But last weekend another t , Jenny, and I did visit a village that was the home of one of the boys, Tombe. It was my first v to a village. We walked for two and a half hours to get there—first up to a m to a ridge from where we had fantastic v and then down a steep slope to the valley below. When we a at the village, Tombe’s mother, Kiak, who had been working in her garden, started c “ieee ieee”. We shook hands with all the v . Everyone seemed to be a relative of Tombe’s. Tombe’s father, Mukap, l us to his house, a low bamboo hut with grass (stick) out of the roof— this shows it’s a man’s house.

The hut was d inside so it took time for our eyes to adjust. Fresh grass had been laid on the floor and there was a (new) made platform for Jenny and me to s on. Usually Kiak slept in her own hut but that night she was going to s the platform with us. Mukap and Tombe were to sleep on small beds in a part of the hut. There was a fireplace in the c of the hut near the doorway. The only p____ that I could see were a few tin plates and cups and a couple of pots. Outside, Mukap was b a fire. Once the fire was going , he laid stones in it. When h , he placed them in an empty oil drum with kau kau( sweet potato), corn and greens. He then c the vegetables with banana leaves and left them to s . We ate inside the hut, sitting around the fire. I loved listening to the family softly t to each other in their language, even t I didn’t understand a word. Later I noticed a tin can ____ (stand) upside down on the grill over the fire. After a short time Tombe t it out of the doorway. I wondered why. Tombe told me that the can was heated to dry out the leftover food. They b that any leftovers attract evil spirits in the night so the food is d up in the can and the can is then thrown o of the hut. We left the village the next morning after many goodbyes and s of hands. My m were aching and my knees shaking as we climbed down the mountain towards home. That evening I fell happily into b . It was such a p to have spent a day with Tombe’s family. It’s getting late and I have to p tomorrow’s lessons. Please write soon.

F____, gardeners use it all the time to produce commercial quantities of plants. Secondly, it is v_____ for research on new plant s_____ and for medical research on animals. Cloning plants is straightforward but the cloning of animals is _____ (complicate). The procedure is difficult to u_____, of course. At first it was not accurate enough and many attempts to clone mammals f_____. But at last determination and patience of the scientists was r____ in 1996 with a b_____ ----the cloning of Dolly the sheep. The procedure works like this: The whole scientific world f_____ the progress of the first successful clone, Dolly the sheep. The fact _____she seemed to develop normally was very e_____(encourage). Then came the disturbing news that Dolly had become s_____ ill. Cloning scientists were cast down to find that Dolly’s illnesses were ____(much) appropriate to a much older animal. Sadly the same arbitrary fate affected other s_____, such as cloned mice. The question that ____(occur) to the scientists was: “Would this be a major difficulty for all _____ (clone) animals?” Altogether Dolly lived for six years, half the _____ (long) of the life of the original sheep. D_____ her problems, Dolly successfully produced a lamb in a natural birth. On the other hand, Dolly’s appearance r_____ a storm of objections and had a great i_____ on the media and public imagination. It became c_____. It suddenly opened everybody’s eyes to the possibility of using cloning to c_____ serious illnesses, and even producing human beings. Newspapers told stories of evil leaders _____ (hope) to clone themselves and religious leaders raised m_____ questions. Governments became 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 112 nervous and many ____ (forbid) research into human cloning. Some countries such as China and the UK continued to accumulate e_____ of the abundant medical aid that cloning could provide. H_____, scientists still wonder whether cloning will help or h_____ us and where it is leading us. THE RETURN OF THE DINOSAURS? The possibility of cloning fierce and e_____ wild animals has always excited film makers. But they are not the only ones. The p_____ of the film Jurassic Park, in _____ a scientist clones several different kinds of extinct dinosaurs, proves how interested o____ people are in the subject. In fact we are a long way ____ being able to clone extinct animals. Scientists are still ____ (experiment) with cloning mammals. This is ____(a. because b. why c. that) the cloning of mammals is still a new science and its story began ____(serious) in the 1950s as this chart shows: 1950s cloning of frogs 1996 first clone of a mammal: Dolly the sheep 1970s research using the embryos of mice 1979 work on embryos of sheep an mice 1981 first experimental clones of mice 1983 first experimental clones of cows 2000 cow gave birth to a bison 2001 China’s first cloned twin calves 2002 first cloned cat 2005 first cloned dog From time to _____ people suggest that the animals that have d_____ from the earth, like dinosaurs, can possibly be brought back to life through cloning. Unfortunately, with ____ we know now, this is either i____ or unsuitable. There are many reasons why: ● You need perfect DNA (which gives i____ for how the cells are to grow). ● It is useless to clone an animal if there is not enough d_____(diverse) in the group for it to o_____ illnesses. Diversity in a group means having animals with their genes ____ (arrange) in different ways. The advantage 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 113 is ____ if there is a new illness some of these animals may die, but others will s_____ and pass on the ability to resist that disease to their children. The d_____ of a group of cloned animals is that they would all have the same _____(arrange) of genes and so they might all die of the same illness. Then none of them would be left to c_____ the species. ● It would be u_____ to clone any extinct animals if they would have to live in a zoo. A suitable h____ would be needed for them to lead a n_____ life. B_____ on what we know now, you cannot clone animals that have been e_____ longer than 10,000 years. Even if the DNA of dinosaurs could survive this long, it would not help. Dinosaurs d_____ 65,000,000 years ago. So the chances of dinosaurs ever r_____ to the earth is merely a dream! Unit 3 Inventors and inventions THE PROBLEM OF THE SNAKES 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 114 When I c_____ up my mother in the countryside on the telephone she was very u_____. “There are some snakes in our yard,” she told me. “Snakes come near the house now and _____, and they seem to have made their home here.

I put the bowl into the freezer and waited for 24 hours. At the ____ time I prepared some ice-cubes. The next morning I got up early before the sun was hot. I placed the _____ (freeze) bowl _____ the snakes’ habitat and the ice-cubes on top of the bowl to keep it cool. F_____I covered the whole thing with a large bucket. Then I waited. After two hours I r_____ the bucket and the bowl. The snakes were certainly less a_____ but they were still too fast for me. They a_____ disappeared into a convenient hole in the wall. So I had to a______ my plan. For the second a_____ I froze the bowl and ice-cubes again but placed them over the snakes’ _____in the evening as the temperature was starting to cool. Then I covered the bowl _____the bucket and left everything overnight. Early the next morning I returned to see the r_____. This time when I got _____ to examine the snakes I found them very sleepy. But once picked up, they tried to b_____me. As they were poisonous snakes, I clearly needed to i_____ my design again. 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 115 My third attempt r______ the earlier procedure. The next morning I carried in my hand a small net used for c_____ fish. This was in the _____ (expect) that snakes would bite again.

All really big _____ are the result of thought.” It was this exploring around problems that _____ his famous invention ---the telephone in 1876. Bell never _____ to invent the telephone and what he was trying to design was a _____ telegraph. This original telegraph sent a massage _____ distances using Morse code (a series of dots ______out along a wire in a particular order). But only one message could go at a time. Bell wanted to improve it _____it could send several messages _____the same time. He designed a machine that would separate different sound waves and allow different _____ to be held at the same time. But he found the problem _____to solve. One day as he was experimenting _____a straw joined to a deaf man’s ear, bell noticed that when he spoke into ear, the straw drew sound waves _____a piece of smoked glass.

The v_____ of travelers before the 17th century show that they were not at the m_____ of the sea even though they did not have modern navigational aids. So how did they n_____ so well? Read these pages from an encyclopedia. Page 1: Using nature to help Keeping alongside the coastline This seems to _____ (be) the first and most useful form of exploration _____ (a.which b.where) carried the minimum amount of risk. Using celestial bodies ·North Star At the North Pole the North Star is at its h_____ position in the sky, but at the equator it is along the horizon. So a_____ navigators were able to use it to p_____ their positions. ·Sun On a clear day e_____ during the summer the sailors could use the sun o_____ at midday to navigate by. They can use the height of the sun to work out their latitude. ·Clouds Sea captains o_____ the clouds over islands. There is a special cloud _____(form) which indicates there is land close by. Using wildlife ·Seaweed Sailors often saw seaweed in the sea and could t_____ by the colour and smell how long it had been there. If it was fresh and s_____ strongly, then the ship was close to land. ·Birds Sea birds could _____ (use) to show the way to land when it was nowhere to be seen. In the evening n_____ birds return to land and their nests. So 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 131 seamen could follow the birds to land even if they were o_____ and in the open sea. Using the weather ·Fog Fog gathers at sea _____ (a. as well b. as well as) over streams or rivers. Seamen used it to help i_____ the position of a stream or river when they were close to land. ·Winds Wise seamen used the winds to direct their s_____. They could accelerate the s_____, but they could also be dangerous. So the Vikings would observe the winds before and during their o_____ or return journeys. Using the sea Certain tides and c_____ could be used by skillful sailors to carry ships to their d_____. Using navigational instruments to help. Finding longitude There was no s_____ method of measuring longitude until the 17th century when the British solved this theoretical p_____. Nobody knew that the earth moved w_____ 15 degrees every hour, but sailors did know an approximate method of calculating longitude _____ (use) speed and time. An early method of measuring speed i_____ throwing a knotted rope tied to a log over the side of the ship. The rope was t_____ to a log which was then _____ (throw) into the sea. As the ship advanced through the water the knots were c_____ as they passed through a seaman’s hands. The number of knots that were counted during a f_____ period of time gave the speed of the ship in nautical miles per hour. Later, when seamen began to use the compass in the 12th century they could c_____ longitude using complicated mathematical tables. The compass had a special m_____ pointer which always i_____ the North Pole, so it is used to help find the direction that the ship needs to go. In this way the ship could set a s_____ course even in the middle of the ocean. Finding latitude 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 132 ·The Bearing Circle It was the first i_____ to measure the sun’s position. A seaman would measure the sun’s shadow and c_____ it with the height of the sun at midday. Then he could tell if he was sailing on his correct _____(a. rather than b.or rather) a r_____ course. ·The Astrolabe The astrolabe, quadrant and sextant are all c_____. They are developments of one a_____. The earliest, the astrolabe, was a special all-in-one tool for telling the position of the ship in r_____ to the sun and various stars which c_____ the whole sky. This gave the seamen the local time and a_______ them to find their latitude at sea. However, it was a_____ to use as one of the points of reference was the moving ship itself. ·The Quadrant This was a more precise and simplified v_____ of the astrolabe. It measured how high stars were a_____ the horizon using a quarter circle rather than the full circle of the astrolabe. It was easier to h_____ because it was more portable. Its s_____ was that it still used the moving ship as one of the fixed points of r_____. As the ship rose and plunged in waves, it was extremely difficult to be a_____ with any reading. ·The Sextant The sextant was the u_____ version of the astrolabe and quadrant which reduced the t_____ to make mistakes. It proved to be the most accurate and reliable of these early navigational instruments. It w_____ by measuring the angle between two fixed objects outside the ship using two mirrors. This made the calculations more precise and easier to do. THE GREATEST NAVIGATIONAL JOURNEY:A LESSON IN SURVIVAL I am p_____ to have sailed with Captain Bligh on his journey of over 40 days through about 4,000 miles in an open boat a_____ the Pacific Ocean in 1789. Our outward voyage in the “Bounty” to Tahiti had been filled with the kind of i_____ that I thought would be my stories when I returned home. But how wrong I was! On our d_____ form Tahiti, some of the crew took over the ship. They d_____ the captain into a small boat to let 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 133 him find his own way home. But who else was to go with him? Those of us on board the “Bounty” _____ (catch) in a dilemma. Was it better to risk certain death by _____ (sit) close together on a small, crowded open boat with very little food and water? _____ should one stay on the “Bounty” with the crew and face certain death from the British Navy if _____ (catch)? The drawback of staying on the ship seemed to grow as I thought about how wrong it was to treat Captain Bligh in this way. So I j_____ him in the small boat. As dusk fell, we seemed to face an uncertain future. We had no charts and the only i_____ the captain was allowed to take with him were a compass and a quadrant. Once we were at sea, our r_____ every day was the same. At sunrise and sunset the captain measured our position using the quadrant and s_____ the course using the compass. It was extremely difficult for us to get a correct _____ (read) from the quadrant as the boat moved constantly. The captain used a system called “dead reckoning”. He knew there was land d_____ northwest of our original position. So his task was to make sure we stayed on that course. As you can see from the map we kept to a straight course p_____ well. In addition, the captain kept us all busy _____ (read) the tables to work out our position. Although this took a great deal of time, it didn’t matter. Time was, after all, ____(a.that b.what) we had a lot of! Our daily food was shared e_____ among us all: one piece of bread and one cup of water. It was starvation quantities but the extreme _____ (a. lack b. lack of) water was the hardest to cope with psychologically. I_____ all that water around you, but none of it was safe to drink because the salt in it would d_____ you mad! All the time the captain tried to p_____ our good spirits by telling stories and talking hopefully about what we would do when we got back to England. We only half believed him. The t_____ in the boat got worse as the supply of food and water gradually disappeared. We could f_____ that we would die if we could not reach land very soon and we s_____ gradually into a sleepy, half-alive state. The captain was as weak as the rest of us, but he _____ (determine) not to give up. He continued his navigational measurements every day. He kept us busy and tried to take our minds o_____ our stomachs and our 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 134 thirst. He kept us alive. You could not imagine a more d_____ sight than what we looked like when _____ (arrive) in Timor over forty days after being set loose in our small boat. Our clothes were torn, we had fever and our faces showed the h_____ we had suffered. But after a rest, some good meals and some new clothes, everything changed. We couldn’t stop _____ (a. to talk b. talking) about our voyage and everybody wanted to hear about it. We were the heroes who had escaped the j_____ of death by completing the greatest navigational feat of all time!

Collecting “exotic” plants, as they are called, d__ back to the earliest times. Many ancient c__ saw the value of bringing back plants from distant lands. The first plant collecting expedition __ (report) in history was around 1500 BC when the Queen of Egypt sent ships away to g__ plants, animals and other goods. However, it was not until the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries that the __ (explore) of the botanical world began on a large scale. Europe had become interested in s__ discovery and the European middle classes took great interest in __ (collect) new plants. This attraction to e_______ plants grew as European nations, like the Netherlands, Britain and Spain, __ (move) into other parts of the world like Asia and Australia. Brave young men took the o__ of going on botanical expeditions, often facing many dangers including disease, near-starvation, s__ environments and conflicts with the local people. An important group of collectors were French Catholic __ (传教士) who, by the middle of the 18th century, were beginning to set themselves up in China. One such m__ , Father d’Incarville, was sent to Beijing in the 1740s. He collected seeds of trees and bushes i_____ those of the Tree of Heaven. Just before he died, he sent some Tree of Heaven seeds to England. They arrived in 1751 and plants from these seeds were grown t__ Europe and later, in 1784, the s______ was introduced in North America. Sir Joseph Banks was a very famous British plant collector, who a______ James Cook on his first visit from England to Oceania. The p__ of the trip for Banks was to record the plant and animal life they came across. He and his team collected examples w______ they went onto dry land. In 1769, Banks collected vast q______ of plants in the land now _____(know) as Australia. None of these plants had been recorded by Europeans before. Cook called the bay where the Endeavour had a__ Botany Bay. 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 139 __ (keep) plants alive during long land or sea voyages was an e__ challenge. Large numbers of seeds failed to grow after long sea v__ or trips across land between Asia and Europe. One plant explorer lost several years’ work when his plants were r__ with seawater. The world of plant e__ was completely changed with Dr Nathaniel Ward’s invention of a tightly sealed p__ glass container. This invention, __ (call) the Wardian case, allowed plants to be t_____ on long journeys. In 1833, Ward shipped two cases of British plants to Sydney, Australia. All the plants s__ the six-month journey. In1835, the cases made a r__ trip with some Australian species that had never been s__ transported before. After eight months at sea, they arrived s__ in London. A British man called Robert Fortune was one of the __ (early) plant __ (collect), to use Wardian cases. He made several trips to China between 1843 and 1859. At that time, there were r__ on the m______ of Europeans and so, in order to travel unnoticed, he developed his __ (fluent) in Chinese and dressed as a Chinese man, even shaving has head in the Chinese style. He e__ many adventures __ (include) huge thunderstorms in the Yellow Sea and p__ on the Yangtze River. Not only did Fortune i_____ over 120 species of plants to Western gardens but he also shipped 20,000 tea plants from Shanghai to India, where a successful tea i__ was established. The second half of the nineteenth c__ was a very important period of plant exploration. During this time many Catholic missionaries were sent to China from France. They v__ the study of the natural sciences and many of the missionaries knew a lot about plants and animals. Their expeditions r__ in huge plant collections, which were sent back to France. One of the c_____ was Father Farges, who collected 37 seeds from a tree that had a__ to him. This tree was later called the Dove Tree. He sent the seeds back to France in 1897 but only one seed grew. Although the missionaries collected large numbers of s__ , there was not enough material for growing particular species in Western gardens. However, __ (Europe) botanists, were very excited with the knowledge that China had a vast v__ of plants, so many plants 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 140 collectors were sent on collecting trips to China. One of these collectors was E H Wilson who, in 1899, was able to collect a large q__ of seeds of the Dove Tree that Father Farges had discovered. Wilson and other plant collectors i__ many new plants to Western gardens. Flowers and their animal pollinators Over time, many __ (flower) plants and their animal pollinators have e__ together. The plant needs the animal to pollinate it and the animal is r__ with food called nectar when it visits the flowers. Pollen becomes a__ to the animal during its visit to a flower and is then passed on to another plant’s b__ on its next visit. So pollination takes place, __ increasing the chances of the survival of the plant species. Through evolution, most flowers have a__ to attract specific types of pollinators. Bees, moths and b__ are the most important pollinators. Flies, wasps, beetles and other animals such as birds and bats are less c__ . The type of pollinator d__ on the characteristics of the flower such as its color, shape, size and smell. For example, yellow flowers a__ bees, while red flowers attract butterflies. The nectar in some flowers can only be r__ by a bird with a long bill or a long-tongued moth or butterfly. The chart below describes some of f__ of flowers tat attract certain kinds of pollinatirs. Pollinator Typical flower characteristics Bees Colour: bright yellow, blue; the flower often has a s__ pattern to guide the bees to the nectar inside. Shape: the petals are wide enough for bees to land on; usually the nectar is at the end of a small, narrow tube _____ (a.whose b.that) 真正的价值并不在人生的舞台上,而在我们扮演的角色中。 141 length is the same as the tongue of a particular species.

Shape: the petals form a deep tube to match the length of a s__ moth’s tongue. The petals lie flat or bend back so the moth can get close to the flower. Smell: strong, sweet perfume, __ (typical) only given out at night. Flies Colour: dull-__ (colour), brownish red. Smell: strong like rotting meat. Humming-birds Colour: brightly coloured, especially red and orange. Shape: tube-shaped; petals bent back so birds can get close. Smell: not odour.
