1、高中英语人教版(2019)选择性必修第四册Unitl Science FictionReading and Thinking课文原文SATISFACTION GUARANTEED ( Adapted )Larry Belmont worked for a company that made robots. Recently it had begun experimenting with a household robot. It was going to be tested out by Larrys wife, Claire.Claire didnt want the robot in he
2、r house, especially as her husband would be away on a business trip for three weeks, but Larry persuaded her that the robot wouldnt harm her or allow her to be harmed. It would be a bonus. However, when she first saw the robot, she felt alarmed. His name was Tony. He seemed more like a human than a
3、machine. He was tall and handsome with smooth hair and a deep voice, although his facial expression never changed.On the second morning, Tony brought her breakfast and then asked her whether she needed help dressing. She felt embarrassed and quickly told him to go. Now she was being looked after by
4、a robot that looked so human, and it was disturbing.One day, Claire mentioned that she didnt think she was clever. Tony said that she must feel very unhappy to say that. Claire thought it was ridiculous that she was being offered sympathy by a robot, but she gradually admired his wisdom and integrit
5、y and began to trust him. He always treated her with dignity. She told him how she was unhappy that her home wasnt elegant enough fbr Larry, who wanted to improve his social position with a bigger salary. She wasnt like Gladys Claffem, one of the richest and most powerful women around.As a favour, T
6、ony promised to help Claire make herself more beautiful and her home more elegant. So Claire borrowed some library books for him to read, or rather, scan. She looked at his fingers with wonder as they turned each page. How absurd, she thought. He was just a machine.Tony gave Claire a new hairstyle a
7、nd improved her makeup. As he was not allowed to accompany her to the shops, he wrote out a list of things that he would need for his work on the house. Claire went downtown and bought these things. She had an appointment to paint her nails, then she went into an expensive clothes shop. The saleswom
8、an there was rude to her, so she rang Tony and told him she was being treated badly. He spoke to the woman, who immediately changed her attitude. Claire thanked Tony, telling him that he was a dear”. As she turned around, there stood Gladys Claffern. How awful to be discovered by her, Claire thought
9、. By the look on her face, Claire knew that Gladys thought they were in a relationship. After all, she knew Claires husbands name was Larry, not Tony. Although it was completely innocent, Claire felt guilty.When Claire got home, she wept. Gladys was everything Claire wished to be. Tony told her she
10、was being sensitive and was just as good as Gladys. He suggested that she invite Gladys and her friends to the house the night before he was to leave and Larry was to return. By that time, Tony expected that the house, which was being completely transformed, would be ready.Tony worked steadily on th
11、e improvements. Claire tried to help by working on a light 鹿等礼物以示友好，并换取黄金、丝绸和香料。尽管1433年之后，中国不再进行进一步的探 险活动，但几个世纪以来，这些陆地和海上线路一直为其他文化之间的踊跃交流提供了通道。今天，人们对横跨海洋仍满怀渴望。随着作为“一带一路”建议组成局部的“21世纪海 上丝绸之路”的提出，郑和航行过的古代航道而今再度受到关注。这一建议旨在推进历史上 丝绸之路沿线地区的合作和贸易，加强中国与世界其他地区的联系。近年来，贸易急剧增长, 并且在未来几年将延续该开展势头。中国沿着这些线路已投资了数十亿，用于
12、搭建系统和提 供服务，这将极大地推动整个地区的开展，造福未来的贸易和文化交流。中国还与大洋此岸的国家共同参与了其他重大工程。尽管（我们）已经屡次重走古时的 郑和航海线路，还有许多其他地方有待探索。近年来，中国己与其他国家共同完成了数次北 极探险。就科学而言，人类迫切需要研究北极，以了解气候变化及其影响。数百年过去了， （我们）有了最新的技术可供使用，贸易的需求和增进关系的愿望将推动中国继续横跨海洋, 迈向未来。Using Language课文原文Text 1When people talk of exploring the sea more, they usually mean exploit
13、ing it. Sea exploration has caused many problems and will continue to cause more.More exploration means more pollution. The Deepwater Horizon spilled over 200 million gallons of oil into the sea in 2010. Plastic pollution is also bad, killing many birds and fish, and has even been found in our tap w
14、ater.Mining for resources is very damaging, especially in the Arctic. Because of climate change, there is less ice now, which means we can look for more fossil fuels further north. But if we burn these, the ice will melt more and this negative cycle will continue. Climate change is warning us that s
15、omething is very wrong.Overfishing is another problem. Whales and dolphins are also hunted for their meat or for so-called research. Although this was banned in 1982, some countries are still murdering“ these intelligent creatures without mercy.The sea is home to life, not human beings possessions.
16、It is huge, but it is more sensitive than we think. If we do not protect it, future generations will not forgive us.Text 2To truly understand our planet, we must explore the oceans which cover most of it. Opponents may be concerned, but sea exploration is important for our future. For example, scien
17、tific research ships can help address important issues such as climate change. We need to understand what is happening to our planet so that we can take action. Therefore, more research is necessary.Understanding more about the sea will also help us manage its resources better. Logging new species w
18、ill improve our understanding of life on the earth. It may help us discover new medicines, as well as new sources of food and energy. Accessing the deep ocean may also help us to predict events such as earthquakes.The population of the world is growing and we need new resources for future developmen
19、t.There are probably vast amounts of resources under the sea and ice, not just oil and gas but also valuable minerals.Of course, there are still environmental risks. However, these should be balanced with economic needs. Hopefully, as technology improves, we may have more options for managing this b
20、alance.课文译文文章一当人们说到加强海洋探索时，他们的意思通常是开发海洋。海洋探索已带来诸多问题，（未 来）也会引起更多问题。更多的海洋探索导致更多的污染。2010年，“深水地平线”向海洋泄漏了超2亿加仑的石 油。塑料污染也很严重，这导致大量鸟类和鱼类死亡，甚至在我们的自来水中都发现了塑料 污染。资源开采危害巨大，尤其是在北极地区。由于气候变化，现在冰减少了，这意味着人们 可以前去更遥远的北方寻找更多的化石燃料。但是，如果我们使用这些燃料，冰会融化得更 多，这种恶性循环会持续下去。气候变化正警告我们，有些事是非常错误的。过度捕捞是另一个问题。人类或是为了享用美食，或是打着研究的旗号，对鲸
21、和海豚进 行猎杀。虽然1982年这种行为已被明令禁止，但一些国家仍在无情地“谋杀”这些智慧生物。海洋是（所有）生物的家园，不是人类的个人财产。海洋广袤无垠，却又超乎想象地敏 感。如果我们不能保护海洋，后代将不会原谅我们。文章二我们要真正了解地球，就必须探索覆盖地球大局部面积的海洋。反对者可能感到担忧， 但海洋探索对人类未来至关重要。例如，科考船可以帮助解决气候变化等重要问题。我们需 要了解我们的星球正在遭遇什么，这样我们才能采取行动，因此加强海洋研究是有必要的。更多地了解海洋也有助于我们更好地管理海洋资源。记录新物种能够提高人们对地球上 生物的认识。这有可能帮助我们发现新药物，找到新的食物和能
22、源来源。潜入深海也有可能 帮助我们预测地震等事件的发生。全球人口正在增长，我们需要新资源来推动未来开展。海洋和冰层下可能蕴藏着大量的 资源，除了有石油和天然气，还有富有价值的矿物质。当然，还存在环境危机。不过，化解环境危机要与满足经济需求相平衡。随着技术的进 步，我们有望会有更多的选择来到达这一平衡。UNIT 4 SharingReading and Thinking课文原文VOLUNTEERING IN THE BUSH8 MarchI just got a parcel from home! It took about two weeks to arrive, and it was a b
23、it damaged, but it was so nice to get some sweets and jam from home; Fve been dying to have some of my favourite sweets, and its always nice to get mail!So Ive been here in the jungle fbr about a month now. My secondary school is a bush school. The classrooms are made of bamboo, with clay floors and
24、 roofs of grass. It takes me only a few minutes to walk to school down a dusty track covered in weeds. When I reach the school grounds, Fm greeted by a chorus of “good morning from the boys. Unlike students in our country, these boys do not wear cotton uniforms, and many of them also have to walk a
25、long way, sometimes for up to two hours, just to get to school.Theres no electricity, running water or even textbooks, not to mention laptops, tablets, or other modern devices! All the students have are pencils, rubbers, and paper. Fm still trying to adapt to these conditions. Ive had to become much
26、 more imaginative in my teaching. Science is my most challenging subject as my students have no concept of doing experiments. There is no equipment, and since there isnt even a washroom, if I need water I have to carry it from my house in a basin!Its important not to be too rigid about rules here, t
27、oo. The other day I was showing the boys a chemistry experiment when, before I knew it, the mixture was bubbling out of the test tube spilling everywhere! The class became a circus as the boys, who had never come across anything like this before, started jumping out of the windows. Sometimes I wonde
28、r how relevant chemistry is to these students-few will ever become chemists-and most will be going back to their villages after Year 8 anyway. To be honest, I doubt whether Im making any difference to these boys5 lives at all.17 AprilLast weekend I made my first visit to a remote village, home to on
29、e of our students, Tombe. Another teacher and I walked for two and a half hours to get there-first, up a mountain from where we had fantastic views, and then down a shaded path to the valley below. When we arrived at the village, Tombes mother, Kiak, saw us coming and started crying “ieee ieee”. We
30、shook hands with all the villagers. Everyone seemed to be related to Tombe.Tombes father, Mukap, a man with a strong jaw and a wrinkled forehead, led us to his house, a low, round bamboo hut with no windows, with a door just big enough to get through, and with grass sticking out of the roof-this sho
31、ws it is a mans house. Such housing is dark inside so it took time for our eyes to adjust. Fresh grass had been laid on the floor and there was a platform for Jenny and me to sleep on. There was a fireplace in the centre of the hut. The only possessions I could see were one broom, a few saucers, a k
32、ettle , cups, pans , and a couple of jars.Mukap built a fire outside and laid stones on it to heat. He then placed the hot stones in an empty oil drum with kau kau, ripe corn, and greens. He then covered the vegetables with banana leaves and left them to steam. It smelled delicious. We ate inside th
33、e hut sitting round the fire. I loved listening to the family talking softly to each other in their language, even though I could not participate much in the conversation. Luckily, Tombe interpreted for us.Later, I noticed a can standing upside down on the grill over the fire. After a while, Tombe t
34、hrew it out of the doorway. Tombe told me that the can was heated to dry out the leftover food. His family believes that leftovers attract bad spirits in the night, so any leftover food is dried up in a can and the can is then thrown out of the hut.We left the village the next morning after many goo
35、dbyes and firm handshakes. My muscles were aching and my knees shaking as we dragged ourselves down the mountain towards home. That evening I fell happily into bed. It was such a privilege to have spent a day with Tombes family.课文译文丛林中的志愿工作3月8日我刚刚收到家里寄的包裹了！虽然这个包裹差不多两星期才到，还略有损坏，不过能收 到从家寄来的一些糖果和果酱简直太棒
36、了！我已经馋了好久这些最爱的糖果，而且，收到邮 包从来都是让人开心的事啊！就这样，现在我在丛林里待了快一个月了。我所在的这所中学是一所灌木丛学校一一教 室是用竹子建的，地板是黏土做的，屋顶是用草做的。我沿着一条尘土飞扬、长满杂草的小 路仅仅步行几分钟就到学校了。当我到达学校的时候，迎接我的是男孩子们一片“早上好” 的问候。这些男孩跟我们国家的学生不一样，他们不穿棉质校服，许多人还得走很长的路， 有时长达两个小时，才能抵达学校。没有电，没有自来水，甚至没有课本，更别提笔记本电脑、平板电脑或者别的现代化设 备！学生们有的只是铅笔、橡皮和纸。我还在努力适应这些条件，在教学中不得不充分发挥 想象力。科
37、学是最有挑战性的科目，因为我的学生们压根没有做实验的概念。没有设备，甚 至没有洗手间，因此，我如果需要水的话，还得从家里用盆带过来。不固守规那么在这儿也很 重要。前几天，我正在给男孩们演示化学实验，突然，不知怎么回事，混合物从试管里冒泡 溢出来，溅得到处都是！男孩们之前从未碰上此种情形，开始从窗户跳出去，课堂变成了马 戏团。有时我想，化学对这些学生有多大意义一一他们中很少有人会成为化学家一一而且大 多数学生八年级后就会回到村庄了。老实说，我怀疑自己是否会给这些男孩们的生活带来任 何影响。4月17日上周末，我头一次去一个偏远的村庄，我们的一个学生汤贝的家就在那里。我和另一位 老师步行两个半小时才
38、到那里一一首先，我们爬到了山上，从那儿欣赏到了极美的景色，然 后沿着一条林荫小路走到下边的山谷。当我们到达村庄的时候，汤贝的母亲齐亚克看到我们走来，开始大喊“暧矣暧矣”。我们和村民挨个握了手。（村 里）每个人好像都是汤贝的什么亲戚。汤贝的父亲莫卡普长着一副结实的下巴，额头布满皱纹。他把我们带到他家，那是一座 低矮的圆形竹屋，没有窗户，只有一扇勉强能通过的门。草从屋顶探出来，说明这是一间人 （住）的房子。这种房子里面很暗，所以我们的眼睛过了一会儿才适应。地上铺满新鲜的草, 还有让我和珍妮睡觉的台子。小屋中央放着壁炉，放眼望去，我看到屋里的物品只有一把扫 帚、几个碟子、一个水壶、几只杯子、几个平底
39、锅，还有几个罐子。莫卡普在外面生了堆火，在上面放了些石头加热，然后把热石头放进装着红薯、成熟的 玉米和青菜的油桶里。接着，他用香蕉叶盖上蔬菜，等着它们蒸熟，这闻起来很美味。我们 在小屋里围着火吃饭。尽管我不太能参与他们的交谈，但我喜欢听这一家人彼此用他们的语 言轻声交谈。幸运的是，汤贝为我们翻译。后来，我注意到炉火上方的烤架上倒放着一个罐子。过了一会儿，汤贝把它扔到了门外。 他告诉我把罐子烤热是为了烘干剩饭。他的家人认为，剩饭会在晚上引来恶鬼，所以所有剩 饭都要放进罐子里烘干，然后把罐子扔出小屋。第二天早上，一遍遍的道别和有力的握手之后，我们离开了村子。当我们费力地走下山 回家时，我的肌肉酸痛
40、，膝盖发抖。那天晚上我带着愉快的心情入睡了。和汤贝一家人度过 了一天，真是荣幸。Using Language课文原文Hello! My name is Zhan Bingbing.Lately, all of us have seen Chinese people on TV in far-off places in the world, helping other countries to develop. We see Chinese workers building roads in the Congo, a port in Pakistan, railways in Panama, a
41、nd an airport in Sri Lanka. And we see Chinese miners, oil workers, agricultural experts, mechanics, and doctors working in nearly every corner of the world. And some people may ask, “Is it worth it? Why help people overseas when China has many areas that are still in need of development?I had the s
42、ame questions myself. But for me, it was much more personal. You see, my mother is a medical doctor, and for the last two years, she has been working as a volunteer consultant in Tanzania, Africa, as a part of a medical team sent by the Chinese government.To be honest, when my mother first left for
43、Africa, I was upset. My mother cooked me dinner every night, and she took good care of me. But more importantly, she was my best friend. We talked together, we spent our leisure time together, and except for school and work, we were never apart. So I was unhappy about her leaving without even asking
44、 for my input.But then I began to hear about the work she was doing in Tanzania, a country that has many health problems, and now I am singing a different tune. Many dangerous diseases which are rare in China are quite commonly contracted in Tanzania. And, while the country is quite beautiful and ha
45、s much natural wealth, many of the people are quite poor and live without things we take for granted, such as electricity, running water, cars and good transport systems, and supermarkets. One project that my mother worked on was helping to build a cardiac hospital. Prior to this, if a Tanzanian had
46、 a heart condition and needed surgery, they would have to go abroad. Since this was quite expensive, many people went without medical treatment and some even died. Now, not only are Tanzanians helped by the hospital, but people in neighbouring countries are helped as well. It has made a big differen
47、ce to their lives. My mother also does a circuit of the rural villages to provide medical treatment, help those with disabilities, and provide consultation and training for local doctors. In addition, her team has given patients a new malaria treatment invented in China, and this has saved many live
48、s.Today, I want to relay to you that Im proud of the work my mother has done, and I am now supportive of it. Is her work worth it? Yes, to the lives of the people she is helping, it is worth it. But by any criteria this work is worth it to us as well, because it shows that we are global citizens int
49、erested in world stability, and that we feel responsible for others and are ready to build a community with a shared future for mankind. Everyone deserves a fair chance in life. When I think of all the things that we as Chinese citizens can be most proud of, helping others comes at the top of this list. Now that I understand how important my mothers work is, Ive decided to become a volunteer myself to help people in other lands
