1、高中英語必修2（人教版）Unit1 Cultural relicsIN SEARCH OF THE AMBER ROOMFrederick William I, the King of Prussia, could never have imagined that his greatest gift to the Russian people would have such an amazing history. This gift was the Amber Room, which was given this name because several tons of amber were

2、used to make it. The amber which was selected had a beautiful yellow-brown colour like honey. The design of the room was in the fancy style popular in those days. It was also a treasure decorated with gold and jewels, which took the country's best artists about ten years to make.In fact, the roo

3、m was not made to be a gift. It was designed for the palace of Frederick I. However, the next King of Prussia, Frederick William I, to whom the amber room belonged, decided not to keep it. In 1716 he gave it to Peter the Great. In return, the Czar sent him a troop of his best soldiers. So the Amber

4、Room became part of the Czar's winter palace in St Petersburg. About four metres long, the room served as a small reception hall for important visitors.Later, Catherine II had the Amber Room moved to a palace outside St Petersburg where she spent her summers. She told her artists to add more det

5、ails to it. In 1770 the room was completed the way she wanted. Almost six hundred candles lit the room, and its mirrors and pictures shone like gold. Sadly, although the Amber Room was considered one of the wonders of the world, it is now missing.In September 1941, the Nazi army was near St Petersbu

6、rg. This was a time when the two countries were at war. Before the Nazis could get to the summer palace, the Russians were able to remove some furniture and small art objects from the Amber Room. However, some of the Nazis secretly stole the room itself. In less than two days 100,000 pieces were put

7、 inside twenty-seven wooden boxes. There is no doubt that the boxes were then put on a train for Konigsberg, which was at that time a German city on the BalticSea. After that, what happened to the Amber Room remains a mystery.Recently, the Russians and Germans have built a new Amber Room at thesumme

8、r palace. By studying old photos of the former Amber Room, they have made the new one look like the old one. In 2003 it was ready for the people of St Petersburg when they celebrated the 300th birthday of their city.A FACT OR AN OPINION?What is a fact? Is it something that people believe? No. A fact

9、 is anythingthat can be proved. For example, it can be proved that China has more peoplethan any other country in the world. This is a fact.Then what is an opinion? An opinion is what someone believes is true buthas not been proved. So an opinion is not good evidence in a trial. Forexample, it is an

10、 opinion if you say“ Cats are better pets than dogs ” . It may betrue, but it is difficult to prove. Some people may not agree with this opinion but they also cannot prove that they are right.In a trial, a judge must decide which eyewitnesses to believe and which notto believe. The judge does not co

11、nsider what each eyewitness looks like or where that person lives or works. He/she only cares about whether the eyewitness has given true information, which must be facts rather than opinions. This kind of information is called evidence.第一單元文化遺產(chǎn)閱讀一尋找琥珀普魯士國王腓特烈 威廉一世從未想過他送個(gè)普魯士人民偉大的禮物會有一點(diǎn)如此驚奇的歷史。這個(gè)禮物是因

12、為由幾噸琥珀制成而命名的琥珀屋。這些被挑選的琥珀都有著像蜂蜜一樣漂亮的黃棕色。這間屋的設(shè)計(jì)是當(dāng)時(shí)最流行的奇特的風(fēng)格。這同樣是一件花了當(dāng)時(shí)最好的藝術(shù)家大約十年用黃金和珠寶修飾制成的寶物。事實(shí)上， 這間屋不是制來當(dāng)禮物的。這是為腓特烈一世的領(lǐng)土而設(shè)計(jì)的。然而，普魯士下一任國王同樣是琥珀屋的擁有者，腓特烈威廉一世決定不保留琥珀屋。在 1716 年他把琥珀屋送給了彼得大帝。作為報(bào)答，沙皇給了腓特烈一隊(duì)他最好的士兵。 因此琥珀屋成為了沙皇避寒圣地圣彼得堡的一部分。琥珀屋作為一個(gè)大概四米長的只為重要訪客的小接待處。后來， 葉卡捷琳娜二世把琥珀屋在圣彼得堡之外的一個(gè)她避暑的地方。她讓她的藝術(shù)家加了跟多的細(xì)節(jié)

13、在里面。在1770 年琥珀屋完全成了她想要的樣子。接近 600 只蠟燭在屋內(nèi)燃燒著，把鏡子和圖畫都照得像金子一樣。令人傷心的，雖然被譽(yù)為是世界奇跡之一的琥珀屋現(xiàn)在丟失了。在 1941 年 9 月，納粹軍隊(duì)在圣彼得堡附近。這正是兩個(gè)國家在交戰(zhàn)的時(shí)候。在納粹去到避暑地方之前，俄國人民能夠從琥珀屋里搬走一些家具和小的藝術(shù)品。然而，一些納粹神秘的偷走了琥珀屋。至少兩天內(nèi)100000 多片琥珀被放進(jìn)27 個(gè)木箱里。這些箱子無疑會被放進(jìn)一艘去往當(dāng)時(shí)德軍駐扎的菠蘿的海的哥尼斯堡的船上。之后，琥珀屋發(fā)生了神馬仍然是個(gè)迷。最近， 俄國和德國人民在避暑的地方制造了一座新的琥珀屋。通過研究之前的琥珀屋的照片，他們制

14、造了一座新的琥珀屋像舊的那座一樣。在2003 年它被圣彼得堡的人民用來慶祝這座城市的300 歲生日。閱讀二一個(gè)事實(shí)還是一個(gè)觀點(diǎn)神馬是事實(shí)？是一些人們相信的東西嗎？不！事實(shí)是可以被證明的任何事。例如，可以證明中國人口比世界上任何其他國家的人口都要多。這是一個(gè)事實(shí)。那么神馬是一個(gè)觀點(diǎn)？一個(gè)觀點(diǎn)是人們相信那是真的但還沒有被證明的。所以一個(gè)觀點(diǎn)在一個(gè)審判中不是一個(gè)好的證據(jù)。例如，如果你說“貓是比狗好的寵物 ”這會是一個(gè)觀點(diǎn)。這可能是真的，不過很難去證明。一些人可能不同意這個(gè)觀點(diǎn)不過他們也不能去證明他們是對的。在一場審批中，一個(gè)審判官一定要去決定相信哪個(gè)目擊者哪個(gè)目擊者不應(yīng)該相信。這個(gè)審判官不會去考慮每

15、個(gè)目擊者的長相或人們在哪里居住或工作。他/她只關(guān)心目擊者是否會提供真是的信息，信息一定是事實(shí)而不是觀點(diǎn)。這類的信息被稱為證據(jù)。Unit 2 The Olympic GamesAN INTERVIEWPausanias, who was a Greek writer about 2,000 years ago, has come on a magical journey on March 18th 2007 to find out about the present-day Olympic Games. He is now interviewing Li Yan, a volunteer for

16、 the 2008 Olympic Games.P: My name is Pausanias. I lived in what you call“ Ancient Greece ” and I usedto write about the Olympic Games a long time ago.

30、 She was very beautiful and could run faster than any man in Greece. But she was not allowed to run and win glory for herself in the Olympic Games. She was so angry that she said to her father that she would not marry anyone who could not run faster than her. Her father said that she must marry, so

31、Atlanta made a bargain with him. She said to him, "These are my rules. When a man says he wants to marry me, I will run against him. If he cannot run as fast as me, he will be killed. No one will be pardoned."Many kings and princes wanted to marry Atlanta, but when they heard of her rules

32、they knew it was hopeless. So many of them sadly went home, but others stayed to run the race. There was a man called Hippomenes who was amazed when he heard of Atlanta's rules, "Why are these men so foolish?" he thought. "Why will they let themselves be killed because they cannot

33、 run as fast as this princess?" However, when he saw Atlanta come out of her house to run, Hippomenes changed his mind. "I will marry Atlanta - or die!" he said.The race started and although the men ran very fast, Atlanta ran faster. As Hippomenes watched he thought, "How can I r

34、un as fast as Atlanta?" He went to ask the Greek Goddess of Love for help. She promised to help him and gave him three golden apples. She said, "Throw an apple in front of Atlanta when she is running past. When she stops to pick it up, you will be able to run past her and win." Hippom

35、enes took the apples and went to the King. He said, "I want to marry Atlanta." The King was sad to see another man die, but Hippomenes said, "I will marry her - or die!" So the race began.閱讀二亞特蘭大的故事亞特蘭大是一個(gè)希臘公主。她很漂亮并且可以跑得比希臘的任何一個(gè)男人都快。不過她不被允許在奧運(yùn)會上跑步去為她自己贏得榮譽(yù)。她很生氣因此她跟她父親說她不會嫁任何跑不過她的

I began as a calculating machine in

38、France in 1642. Although I was young I could simplify difficult sums.I developed very slowly and it took nearly two hundred years before I was built as an analytical machine by Charles Babbage. After I was programmed by an operator who used cards with holes, I could "think" logically and p

39、roduce an answer quicker than any person. At that time it was considered a technological revolution and the start of my "artificial intelligence". In 1936 my real father, Alan Turing, wrote a book about how I could be made to work as a "universal machine" to solve any difficult m

40、athematical problem. From then on, I grew rapidly both in size and in brainpower. By the 1940s I had grown as large as a room, and I wondered if I would grow any larger. However, this reality also worried my designers. As time went by, I was made smaller. First as a PC (personal computer) and then a

41、s a laptop, I have been used in offices and homes since the 1970s.These changes only became possible as my memory improved. First it was stored in tubes, then on transistors and later on very small chips. As a result I totally changed my shape. As I have grown older I have also grown smaller. Over t

42、ime my memory has developed so much that, like an elephant, I never forget anything I have been told! And my memory became so large that even I couldn't believe it! But I was always so lonely standing there by myself, until in the early 1960s they gave me a family connected by a network. I was a

43、ble to share my knowledge with others through the World Wide Web.Since the 1970s many new applications have been found for me. I have become very important in communication, finance and trade. I have also been put into robots and used to make mobile phones as well as help with medical operations. I

44、have even been put into space rockets and sent to explore the Moon and Mars. Anyhow, my goal is to provide humans with a life of high quality. I am now truly filled with happiness that I am a devoted friend and helper of the human race! 第三單元電腦閱讀一 我是誰 隨著時(shí)間的推移我被改變了很多。在1642 年的法國，我是作為一個(gè)計(jì)算機(jī)器而開始的。雖然我很年輕我可

45、以簡化一些計(jì)算題。在我被Charles Babbage 改造成分析機(jī)器之前我很慢的發(fā)展了接近兩百年。之后我被一個(gè)操作員用帶洞的卡調(diào)制成了可以合邏輯地思考并且比任何人都快地得出一些問題的答案。那是一個(gè)被成為技術(shù)改革的時(shí)候并且開始了我的人造智能。在 1936年我真正的父親Alan Turing 寫了一本關(guān)于我如何像普遍的機(jī)器一樣去解決任何困難的數(shù)學(xué)問題的書。從那起，我在體積和智能方面快速的發(fā)展。在1940 年我變得像一個(gè)房間一樣大，并且我想知道我是否還能變得更大。然而，事實(shí)也在困擾著我的設(shè)計(jì)者。隨著時(shí)間的推移，我被制的更小。首先是個(gè)人電腦再到后來的手提電腦，在1970 年我已經(jīng)開始被用在辦公室和家

46、里。這些變化只因?yàn)槲矣洃浟Φ脑鰪?qiáng)。開始記憶被存放于電子管里，然后是晶體管和后來更小的晶片。 因此我改變了我的整個(gè)外型。隨著我慢慢變老我也慢慢的變小。隨著時(shí)間推移我的記憶力發(fā)展的那么快，像頭大象，我不會忘記任何我曾被告知的東西！而且我的記憶力變得如此的大以至于我都不敢相信!不過我總是自己那么孤單的站在那里，直到 1960 年他們通過網(wǎng)絡(luò)給了我一個(gè)家庭關(guān)系。我能夠通過萬維網(wǎng)和其他的電腦分享我的知識。 從 1970 年起很多新的應(yīng)用為我而被發(fā)明。我在交流，金融和貿(mào)易方面變得重要。我同樣被 放進(jìn)遙控裝置中被用來制造移動(dòng)電話也幫助醫(yī)學(xué)手術(shù)。我已經(jīng)被放進(jìn)太空火箭并被送去探測月亮和火星。即使如此，我的目的是

47、為人們提供高質(zhì)量的生活。我現(xiàn)在充滿快樂應(yīng)為我成為了人類種族中的一個(gè)忠心的朋友和幫助者。ANDY - THE ANDROIDI m part of an android football team. About once a year we are allowed to get together to play a game of football. I m as big as a hnumfaactn,.IIlook likeone too. On the football team I m a striker so I have to be able to run very fast.My

48、computer chips help me to move and think like a human. For example, I have learned to signal to my teammates in computer language to give me the ball when I am open and have a good shot for a goal.My first football competition was in Nagoya, Japan several years ago. Last year our team went to Seattl

49、e, Washington in the USA. We won second place. Personally, I think the team that won first place cheated. They had developed a new type of program just before the competition. So we need to encourage our programmer to improve our intelligence too. We are determined to create an even better system. I

50、n a way our programmer is like our coach. She programs us with all the possible moves she has seen while watching human games. Then she prepares reliable moves to use if a new situation arises. In this way I can make up new mov es using my “ artificial intelligence” . I could like to playagainst a h

51、uman team, for I have been programmed to act just like them. After all, with the help of my electronic brain which never forgets anything, using my intelligence is what I m all about!機(jī)器人 -Andy我是一個(gè)機(jī)器人球隊(duì)的一份子。我們被允許在一齊踢足球大約一年了。我像一個(gè)人類一樣高大。事實(shí)上， 我長得也像人類。在球隊(duì)里我是前鋒因此我要跑得非?？?。 我的電腦芯片幫助我移動(dòng)并且像人類一樣思考。例如， 我已經(jīng)學(xué)會了當(dāng)我要

52、開動(dòng)去射一個(gè)好球的時(shí)候用電腦語言向我的隊(duì)友發(fā)信號讓他們把球傳給我。我的第一場足球比賽是在幾年前在日本的名古屋。去年我們球隊(duì)去了美國華盛頓和西雅圖。我們勝利的第二個(gè)地方。就我個(gè)人觀點(diǎn)，我認(rèn)為我們球隊(duì)第一次贏的地方是作弊的。他們已經(jīng)在比賽之前一種新的程序類型。所以我們也要促進(jìn)我們的程序去提高我們的智能。我們決心要去一種甚至更好的標(biāo)志。一定程度上說我們的程序就像我們的教練。她訓(xùn)練我們所有在人類比賽中她能看到的所有可能的動(dòng)作。 如果一種新情況出現(xiàn)她會準(zhǔn)備可靠的動(dòng)作去運(yùn)用。用這種方式我可以用我的 “人造只能 ”去制造新的動(dòng)作。我能夠被編程成像人類一樣的表現(xiàn)我就可以真的與一隊(duì)人類球隊(duì)去比賽。畢竟，在我不會

54、ike to see some endangered wildlife," she said. "Please take me to a distant land where I can find the animal that gave fur to make this sweater." At once the carpet flew away and took her to Tibet. There Daisy saw an antelope looking sad. It said, "We're being killed for the

55、 wool beneath our stomachs. Our fur is being used to make sweaters for people like you. As a result, we are now an endangered species." At that Daisy cried, "I'm sorry I didn't know that. I wonder what is being done to help you. Flying carpet, please show me a place where there'

56、;s some wildlife protection."The flying carpet travelled so fast that next minute they were in Zimbabwe. Daisy turned around and found that she was being watched by an elephant. "Have you come to take my photo?" it asked. In relief Daisy burst into laughter. "Don't laugh, ” s

57、aid the elephant, "We used to be an endangered species. Farmers hunted us without mercy. They said we destroyed their farms, and money from tourists only went to the large tour companies. So the government decided to help. They allowed tourists to hunt only a certain number of animals if they p

58、aid the farmers. Now the farmers are happy and our numbers are increasing. So good things are being done here to save local wildlife."Daisy smiled. "That's good news. It shows the importance of wildlife protection, but I'd like to help as the WWF suggests." The carpet rose aga

59、in and almost at once they were in a thick rainforest. A monkey watched them as it rubbed itself. "What are you doing?" asked Daisy. ” I mprotecting myself from mosquitoes," it replied. "When I find a millipede insect, I rub it over my body. It contains a powerful drug which affects m
