Section_ⅢLesson_2_&_Lesson_3_—_Prereading_‎ Marco Polo and His Travels Marco Polo was born in Italy in 1254. When he was 17 years old, he travelled across Europe and Asia with his father, who wanted to do trade① with the Chinese②. Eventually③， they arrived in Beijing. At that time, China was ruled by the Yuan Dynasty Emperor④， Kublai Khan.‎ Kublai Khan welcomed Marco and his father. He was very happy to meet two foreigners and wanted to learn all about Europe. Marco and his father were guests at the Emperor's Palace. Although Marco was young, he was very clever and could already speak four languages. The Emperor was impressed⑤ by him and they became friends. He asked Marco to serve⑥ in his court⑦ and sent him to do many important tasks across the country.‎ Marco, in turn⑧， was amazed⑨ by how beautiful and powerful China was. He was very impressed by Beijing and the Emperor's Palace, especially⑩ the Summer Palace ⑪which he described as⑫ “The greatest palace that ever was ... The walls were covered in gold and silver and the Hall was so large it could easily seat⑬ 6,000 people for dinner⑭.”‎ There were inventions and developments in China which were not available⑮ in Europe at that time⑯. Marco was surprised to see Chinese people using paper money in the markets. In Europe, people paid for goods⑰ with gold or silver. He could not understand how people could pay for food and valuable things with paper! He was also confused⑱ by the black stones people used to burn for fuel⑲. The black stones were coal, but Marco had never seen coal before！‎ ‎①trade v．做买卖 n．买卖，交易 trade with sb. in sth.同某人做某方面的生意 ‎②who引导非限制性定语从句，修饰his father。‎ ‎③eventually adv. 最终，终于 ‎④emperor /'emprə/ n. 皇帝 ‎⑤impress vt. 给……以深刻印象 be impressed by ... 对……印象深刻 ‎⑥serve vt.& vi.为……服务；任职 ‎⑦court /kɔːt/ n．宫廷；法庭 ‎⑧in turn轮流；相应地 by turns 轮流 take turns 依次，轮流 in return 作为回报 ‎⑨amaze /ə'meIz/ vt.使惊愕(惊奇)‎ amazed adj.吃惊的，惊异的 amazing adj.令人惊异的，了不起的 be amazed at/by ... 对……感到惊奇 ‎⑩especially adv.尤其，特别地 specially adv.特别地，专门地 ‎⑪which引导定语从句，修饰the Summer Palace。‎ ‎⑫describe ... as 把…… 说成/描述成 ‎⑬seat vt.使某人就座，容纳 ‎⑭该句为“so ...that”结构，句中省略了that，补充为so large that it could ...‎ ‎⑮available adj. 可获得的；可找到的 ‎⑯which引导定语从句，修饰inventions and developments。‎ ‎⑰goods /ɡʊdz/ n. 商品，物品 ‎⑱confuse /kən'fjuːz/ vt. 使困惑 be confused by 对……感到困惑 confuse A with B把A与B混淆 ‎⑲fuel /fjʊəl/ n．燃料 马可·波罗和他的旅行 ‎[第1～4段译文]‎ 马可·波罗1254年出生于意大利。他17岁时，由于父亲想和中国人做生意，他就和父亲一起游历欧洲和亚洲。最后，他们到达北京。当时元世祖忽必烈正统治着中国。‎ 元世祖忽必烈欢迎马可和他的父亲。他很高兴见到两位外国人，想向他们了解欧洲的全部情况。马可和他的父亲成了皇宫里的贵客。尽管马可很年轻，但他聪明伶俐，并且会讲四种语言。他给皇帝留下了深刻的印象，两个人成了朋友。皇帝让马可留在朝廷服务，派他到全国各地完成了多项重要使命。‎ 马可也相应地被中国的美丽和强大所震撼。北京和皇宫给他留下了深刻的印象，尤其是夏宫，他称它为“迄今最伟大的宫殿……它的墙用黄金和白银装饰，大厅大到可以轻易地容纳6 000人同时进餐。”‎ 那时，中国的许多发明和发展水平是在欧洲见不到的。马可惊奇地发现中国市场上流通的是纸币。而在欧洲，那时人们还是用金、银买货物。‎ 他不理解人们怎么可以用纸来买食物和值钱的物品！他也不明白为什么人们用黑色的石头作燃料。这种黑色的石头就是煤，但是马可以前从没有见过煤！‎ In 1291, after 17 years of service to the Emperor, Marco returned to Italy. He was now a very wealthy⑳ man. Not long after his return, a local war broke out near his town. During the war, Marco was the captain of a warship but was caught by the enemy and put into prison. However, Marco was lucky enough to meet another prisoner who enjoyed listening to his stories about China. The prisoner was an author and he took dictation while Marco told all his stories to him. The prisoner then wrote the stories in a book called The Description of the World， which became one of the bestselling books in Europe.‎ Although people enjoyed reading his book, many of them thought that Marco's stories about China were too fantastic to be true. But Marco always stood by his tales. Just before he died, aged 70, Marco was asked the question，“Was it all true？”， to which he replied，“I have only told a half of what I saw！”,⑳wealthy /'welθi/ adj. 富有的，富裕的 wealth n．财富；大量；丰富 break out (坏事)突然发生，爆发 happen vi. 发生 put ... into prison 把……关进监狱 be in prison 被监禁 author /'ɔːθə/ n. 作者 dictation /dIk'teIʃn/ n. 口述，听写 过去分词短语called ... 作定语，修饰 a book。‎ bestselling adj. 最畅销的 bestseller n. 畅销书或唱片 which引导非限制性定语从句，修饰The Description of the World。‎ fantastic adj.富于想象的；无法实现的 stand by 坚持(某种说法)‎ stand out 显眼，引人注意 aged adj. ……岁的 to which引导定语从句，修饰the question；reply to回答。‎ ‎ [第5～6段译文]1291年，在中国为皇帝效力17年后，马可回到意大利。那时，他已经很富有了。他返回之后不久，一场区域性的战争在他家乡附近爆发了。在战争中，马可成为一艘战舰的舰长，但(不幸)被俘入狱。然而在狱中，马可幸运地遇到了一个喜欢听他讲关于中国的故事的囚犯。那个囚犯是一位作家，马可把自己所有的故事讲给他听，他做笔录。然后那个囚犯把故事写成一本书，名为《马可·波罗游记》，‎ 这本书成为当时欧洲最畅销的书之一。 虽然人们爱读他的书，但许多人认为马可关于中国的故事太离奇而不可信。但马可总是坚持他所讲的故事是真的。马可70岁去世，临终前，有人问他：“你讲的故事都是真的吗？”马可回答道：“我讲的只是我所看到的一半！”‎ Prereading Please match the words with their proper meanings.‎ ‎1．extreme　　　　　　　　 A．冒……的危险 ‎2．similarity B．兴奋，激动 ‎3．risk C．相似性，类似性 ‎4．excitement D．不同的，各种各样的 ‎5．various E．极度的，极端的 ‎ ‎6．exactly F．较喜欢的东西，偏爱 ‎7．equipment G．确切地，精确地 ‎ ‎8．preference H．配备，设备 ‎9．emperor I．使惊愕(惊奇)‎ ‎10．amaze J．皇帝 ‎11．dictation K．旅行者，旅客 ‎12．statement L. 作者 ‎ ‎13．quantity M．猎人 ‎14．traveller N．陈述 ‎15．author O．口述，听写 ‎16．confuse P．富有的，富裕的 ‎17．hunter Q．量，数量 ‎18．wealthy R．使困惑 ‎1～5　________________　6～10　________________‎ ‎11～15　________________　16～18　________________‎ 答案：1～5　ECABD　6～10　GHFJI　11～15　ONQKL ‎16～18　RMP Leadin Look at the explorers in the following pictures and answer the following questions.‎ ‎1．Who are they?‎ ‎①Magellan；②Xu_Xiake.‎ ‎2．Which one impresses you most and can you say something about him?‎ Xu Xiake impresses me most.

Known for his jumping ability, Oxygen, a Czech, who jumped a nearly 10footwide abyss (深渊). Today, Petr Kops, 21, is wearing Oxygen's pants. “I did not know Oxygen personally, but my sister did，” Kops said. “I wear his trousers for good luck.” Minutes later, Kops was standing at the edge of a 70foot abyss called Broken Bones.‎ While it may seem suicidal (自杀的), jumping across a gap is actually an extreme sport that is gaining in popularity. Called rock jumping, or simply jumping, this activity is taking place in the AdrspachTeplice Rocks, a remote nature preserve in the northeast part of the Czech Republic. Known for its 11 square miles of sandstone, the region has been loved by lifelong rock climbers. “The aim is to get to the top of as many towers as you can.” said Vladimir Prochazka, known as June Bug, a 59yearold climber and a collector of Czech rock climbing histories.‎ Jumping is often the most possible way to get to the tower. In most cases, climbers jump with a rope tied around their waist. If they miss the landing — which is not uncommon — they will fall into the wall of the base tower. “Jumping requires fearlessness，” Prochazka said. “Broken or damaged bones are fairly common.” Still, there are those who prefer to experience by jumping without a rope. Among the most wellknown of these adventurers are Petr Prachtel and his wife, Zorka, who helped create the sport in the 1960s. They pioneered countless jumps, sometimes without the safety of a rope.‎ 语篇解读：文章介绍了起源于捷克共和国的跳岩运动。文章介绍了该运动的起源和在该运动中几个关键的人物。‎ ‎1．What does “pants” probably mean in the first paragraph?‎ A．Shoes.　　　　　　　　 B．Trousers.‎ C．Jackets.

In 1979, some people bungee jumped off a bridge in England and made the sport popular around the world. Bungee jumping came to China in 1996.‎ Skateboarding: At first, this sport was called “sidewalk surfing”. Skateboarders often jump high into the air, go down steps or slide (滑行) down rails on their boards.

People tied their feet to the board with special shoes. They don't use any ski sticks. Then they ride down hills, jump high and do tricks.‎ ‎4．What made bungee jumping popular all over the world?‎ A．A history of hundreds of years.‎ B．Jumping over a river in America.‎ C．Coming to China in 1996.‎ D．Jumping off a bridge in England.‎ 解析：选D　细节理解题。由第二段的“... some people bungee jumped off a bridge in England and made the sport popular around the world”可知答案为D项。‎ ‎5．In which sport do people jump from a plane or from a high place?‎ A．Bungee jumping and skydiving.‎ B．Skydiving and skateboarding.‎ C．Bungee jumping and skateboarding.‎ D．Snowboarding and skateboarding.‎ 解析：选A　细节理解题。由相关信息“some people bungee jumped off a bridge”及“Skydivers jump out of airplanes about four kilometers up in the sky.”可知，bungee jumping和skydiving都是从高处起跳的。‎ ‎6．Why do some people like to do the extreme sports?‎ A．It's easy to learn.‎ B．It's exciting and safe.‎ C．It's scary but safe.‎ D．It's dangerous but exciting.‎ 解析：选D　细节理解题。由第一段中的“the danger is what makes them so exciting”可知，人们喜欢极限运动是因为它虽危险但刺激。‎ C Toyota's new robot HSR is devoted to a single task: picking things up. HSR is short for“human support robot”. It comes with a single mechanical arm that can hold objects of various shapes and sizes and pick up smaller items with a tiny cup. It doesn't have other tricks, except for a computer panel on its head for surfing the Internet. A person can also access the robot from another computer and use it like a cameraphone.‎ HSR will first be used for people with disabilities and then for the elderly in general. Picking up is especially challenging for people with spinal (脊柱的) disorders and other illnesses. Although it can only do one simple task of picking up, it's already making disabled people quite happy. “We're just getting started, but eventually it will enter people's homes，” the engineer Kouichi Ikeda said. Nearly 40 percent of Japan's population will be 65 or older by 2060 and the rest of the developed world and some developing nations will follow it. “People feel more comfortable asking a robot to pick up after them than asking a human helper，” said Ikeda.‎ Toyota came up with the idea of HSR in 2012. The model should be ready to enter universities, research facilities and businesses next year, where it can get more applications. One ‎ disadvantage is that mass (大规模的) production is needed for the price to come down. ‎ The robot has several cameras, including two on its head that look like its eyes and sensors (感应器) on its body. It runs quietly around in all directions. Unlike other robotic arms, HSR's hold and bumps are designed to be soft so they can't hurt anyone. But it can pick up items that weigh up to 2.6 pounds.‎ ‎7．What do we know about HSR?‎ A．It can fulfill various needs.‎ B．It can help get different things.‎ C．It can be made into different sizes.‎ D．It cannot be used to surf the Internet.‎ 解析：选B　细节理解题。由第一段“It comes with a single mechanical arm that can hold objects of various shapes and sizes and pick up smaller items with a tiny cup.”可知，此机器人可以帮助拿不同的东西。‎ ‎8．In the eyes of Ikeda, the robot ________.‎ A．faces many problems B．will have a bright future C．is intended for the disabled D．works best in hospitals for patients 解析：选B　推理判断题。由第二段可知，老龄化社会即将到来，Ikeda认为其机器人将进入到千家万户，有光明的未来。‎ ‎9．What is the problem with HSR from Toyota now?‎ A．Its size.　　　　　　　 B．Its shape.‎ C．Its cost. D．Its function.‎ 解析：选C　细节理解题。由第三段“One disadvantage is that mass (大规模的) production is needed for the price to come down.”可知，这个机器人目前存在的问题是成本很高。‎ ‎10．What is special about HSR compared with other robots?‎ A．It is safe to use. B．It moves quickly.‎ C．It works by sensors. D．It has many cameras.‎ ‎ 解析：选A　推理判断题。由最后一段“Unlike other robotic arms, HSR's hold and bumps are designed to be soft so they can't hurt anyone.”可知，HSR比起别的机器人来很安全，不会伤人。‎ Ⅱ.阅读七选五 The stress of everyday life cannot be avoided.
