Unit 3Under the sea 也许这个星球上最未被开发的地区是海底，因为那里太深了，以至于我们无法详细研究。即使人们对海床进行商业开采，它仍是一个未知数。上层和中层水域的海洋生物都很容易记录，不过深海环境仍然深藏着很多秘密。探讨这些领域是困难的，因为海底深处有巨大的压力。目前我们还无法制造出能在深海正常工作的机器。当我们能够做到这一点时，我们将会发现一个全新的海洋世界。科学将揭示更多的深海秘密。 参考词汇：未被开发的地区 unexplored area; 详细 研 究 search in detail; 商 业 开 采 business exploration; 上层和中层水域 the upper and middle waters 【写作要求写作要求】 只能用5个句子表达全部内容。 Perhaps the most unexplored area on this planet is under the deep sea, which we have never been to, because they are too deep for us to search in detail. Although we do have business exploration of the sea bed, the deep sea is still unknown. The environment of deep sea can still keep many secrets, though the marine life of the upper and middle waters are fairly well recorded. To explore these areas without special machines is difficult because of the great pressure deep down. When this could be done with machines, scientists will enable us to find out more secrets of deep sea one day. 1. adj. 每年的 n. 年刊；年鉴 2. n. 目击者；证人；证据 vt.目击 3. vi. 大叫；呼喊 n. 叫声；喊声 4. vi. & n. 暂停；中止 5. n. 协作；配合 6. vt. 拖；拉；扯 7. n. 深(度)；深处 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ annual witness yell pause teamwork drag depth8. vt. 催促；极力主张9. vt. 放弃；遗弃；抛弃10. n. 关系；血缘关系；交往 11. vi. 慢跑 vt. 轻推；轻撞 12. n. 网；网状物；网络 13. n. 目标；靶；受批评的对象 14. vt. 反射；思考 vi. 思考 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ urge abandon relationship jog net target reflect15. adj. 纯的；纯粹的；纯洁的16. adj. 意识到的；知道的17. adj. 生动的；鲜明的；鲜艳的18. adj. 好的；整齐的19. adj. 锐利的；锋利的；敏捷的20. vt. 恐吓 vi. 受惊吓_ _ _ _ _ pure aware vivid neat sharp scare1. 帮助(某人)摆脱困境或危难 2. 意识到 3. 吓死了 4. 在此期间，与此同时 5. 上下翻转 6. 拉回；撤回 _ _ _ _ _ _ help (sb.) out be / become aware of (be) scared to death in the meantime upside down pullback 1.As we drew closer, I could see a whale _ (attack) by a pack of about six other killers. 2.There was one day _ we were out in the bay during a hunt and James was washed off the boat. being attackedwhen 3.The sea was rough that day and _ was difficult to handle the boat. 4.There were other creatures that I didnt want to get too close to an eel with its strong sharp teeth, with only its head _ (show) from a hole, watching for a tasty fish (or my tasty toe！) showing it 1. witness n. 证人，目击者，证据 vt. 当场见到，目击 Severe damage witnessed the destructive force of the storm. 严重的损害表明了暴风雨的破坏力。 bear witness to 为作证 a witness to the accident 事故的目击者 witness stand / box 证人席根据汉语意思，完成英文句子(1)这个古老的礼堂见证过许多次典礼。 This old auditorium_ many ceremonies.(2)警察在呼吁曾目睹这次事故的司机协助。 Police are appealing to any driver who _the accident.has witnessedwitnessed (3)他健康的身体证明了这种疗法是成功的。 His good health is _ the success of the treatment. a witness to2. drag vt. 拖，拉，扯 n. 拖，拉The meeting dragged on for more than two hours.那个会议单调无味地开了两个多小时。drag on (事情)拖延地进行drag sth. out of sb. 套某人的话；强迫某人说出drag sth. up 提起(不愿回忆或谈论的事)drag sb. down 使不愉快；把某人带坏用适当的介词或副词填空(1)时间过得很慢。 The hours dragged _.(2)敌人休想从我这里探到口风，我决不会泄露。 The enemies shall not drag anything out _ me. on of(3)你非得把这些老掉牙的丑事都翻出来吗？ Must you drag _ all these old scandals?(4)如果你嫁给那个人，他会毁了你的。 If you marry that man, hell drag you _.updown 3 . abandon vt.抛弃，遗弃，离弃，放弃 Only weak and cowardly natures abandon themselves to sorrow. 只有那些软弱怯懦之人才沉溺于忧伤之中。 abandoned adj. 被放弃的(常作定语)abandon a post 放弃职位abandon hope of doing sth. 放弃做某事的希望abandon oneself to 沉湎于，放纵感情with abandon 放纵地，纵情abandon doing sth. 放弃做某事根据汉语意思，完成英文句子(1)他沉溺于玩电脑游戏，这使他妈妈很担忧。 He _ playing computer games, which made his mother worried.(2)由于天气不好，比赛不得不终止。 The game had _ due to bad weather.abandoned himself toto be abandoned(3)我们只好弃车步行赶剩下的路。 We had to _ and walk the rest of the road. abandon the car 1. help (sb.) out 帮助(某人)摆脱困境或危难 I went to consult him, but he was cold and indifferent and not very willing to help me out. 我去向他请教， 他爱理不理的， 不太愿意帮助我。help sb.

First of all, I am a good swimmer. Therefore, I am interested in all kinds of Olympic swimming sports. Especially, I am fond of water gymnastics for two major reasons the amazing movements and those sexy and those very beautiful women swimmers. Most importantly, I like the great music and their amazing performance in water ballet. When I watch this Olympic sport, I can learn their professional techniques in swimming. For example, swimmers performance is evaluated based on a series of predetermined elements. Arm sections and figures, similar to those of figure skating, are also required, and all elements must be presented in a specific order. Because synchronized (同 步 的 ) swimming routines require exceptional breath control, judges also take into consideration the ability of the swimmers to preserve the illusion (幻 想 ) of effortlessness while holding their breath for up to two minutes. 【写作内容写作内容】 1以约30个词概括短文的要点： 2然后以120个词写一篇英语短文谈谈你喜欢的体育运动项目，并包括如下要点： (1)你喜欢哪一种体育运动项目； (2)说明你的理由； (3)该体育运动项目对你的日常生活造成的某些影响和感想。 【写作要求写作要求】 1作文中可使用自己的亲身经历或虚构的故事，也可以参照阅读材料的内容但不得直接引用原文中的句子； 2标题自定。 该篇读写任务所给文章属于说明文文体，摘要部分我们首先要概括出作者所要说明的问题“I like water gymnastics best.” 然 后 再 概 括 “like water gymnastics”的原因。本文的概要必须包含以下要点：I like water gymnastics best for many reasons./Especially, I am fond of water gymnastics for two major reasons the amazing movements and those sexy and those very beautiful women swimmers./ Forexample, swimmers performance is evaluated based on a series of predetermined elements. 时态应选用一般现在时。 写作要点要求描述你喜欢哪一种体育运动项目和理由、感想等等，都属于评论性文字和结论性的观点，因此应选用一般现在时或一般将来时态。对于要点(1)“你喜欢哪一种体育运动项目”和要点(2)“说明你的理由”，我们可以合为一段来表达。要点(3)“该体育运动项目对你的日常生活造成的某些影响和感想。”实际是两个问题：影响和感想。针对影响，如果我们谈到的是该项体育运动项目给你带来的正面的影响，内容上就与要点(2)重复，所以这里出题者的意图是让我们从该项体育运动项目给我们日常生活带来的负面影响，比如占用了学习时间、影响了学习等方面来谈。至于感想，无疑是对此种影响所引发的感想和反思。 I Have Fallen in Deep Love with Football In the above passage, the writer tells us the reasons why he likes water gymnastics, such as the amazing movements and those sexy and those very beautiful women swimmers. Among various sports, I like football best. The reasons are as follows. First, by playing football, I can strengthen our bodies. Besides, playing football provides me with the chance to compete with my teammates, which is beneficial to increase my team spirit and learn how to work with others. Since I am somewhat crazy about football, I have spent lots of time doing many things related to football, which certainly disturbs my normal study. I cant concentrate so much on my lessons, falling asleep in class the next day and not finishing my homework on time that I have almost lost interest in my studies. How should I deal with the contradiction between my studies and hobbies? Some helpful suggestions are needed. Meanwhile, I quite regret that I shouldnt have been addicted to football so much. Maybe, I will get out of the trouble with my efforts and fall in love with my study again. 阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。 At the Chinese New Years Eve in China, we have CCTV Spring Festival Gala(春节联欢晚会). Ever since it started in 1983, the gala has been one of the most watched TV shows. Watching it while having the Chinese New Years Eve meal has developed into the typical way for many Chinese families to celebrate. However, the show has lost some of its appeal in recent years. Some people complain that it lacks originality the acts are said to be too similar to each other. Chunwan, as its called, is often used in connection with a show that many feel is unimaginative and inauthentic(不真实的). But even with the complaints, the majority of Chinese still watch it. This is because the gala is more than a TV program it brings together the family and provides a topic for conversation. Many Chinese living abroad are also eager to see the show online. By sharing the fun with their compatriots (同胞), they feel less homesick. When the hosts shout yanhuang zisun, or “the offspring (子 孙 ) of emperors Yan and Huang”， meaning “Chinese all over the world”， the show becomes an opportunity for the celebration of Chinese cultural identity (认 同 )or “Chineseness”， in a popular entertainment form. 【写作内容写作内容】 1. 请用约30个词对阅读材料的内容进行概括； 2. 请用约120个词谈谈你对“春晚”的看法，内容包括： (1)请谈谈“春晚”对你或者你身边的人产生的影响。 (2)你喜欢看“春晚”吗？说说你的原因。 【写作要求写作要求】 1作文中可使用自己的亲身经历或虚构的故事，也可以参照阅读材料的内容但不得直接引用原文中的句子； 2标题自定。 One possible version： The CCTV Spring Festival Gala has lost its attraction to some extent. However, there are still lots of people who are fond of watching it since it provides a chance for family gathering, making people less homesick. The CCTV Spring Festival Gala, also known as Chunwan, has been one of the most watched and favorable program in mainland China. Almost all the people around me have the experience of watching Chunwan with their family members. There is no denying that Chunwan has brought not only plenty of fun to people but also, served as a platform for many artists, who soon rise to fame after their appearance in Chunwan. From my point of view, Chunwan is anindispensable activity in the new years celebration of my family. For one thing, Chunwan is elaborately designed with a number of wonderful performances like the Thousand hands Buddhist, which leave us audience a deep impression. For another, watching Chunwan with relatives is the most enjoyable thing in the new years eve and nothing can compare with such great fun.
