篇1：新概念英语第三册40课

【课文】

It has never been explained why university students seem to enjoy practical jokes more than anyone else. Students specialize in a particular type of practical joke: the hoax. Inviting the fire brigade to put out a nonexistent fire is a crude form of deception which no self-respecting student would ever indulge in. Students often create amusing situations which are funny to everyone except the victims. When a student recently saw two workmen using a pneumatic drill outside his university, he immediately telephoned the police and informed them that two students dressed up as workmen were tearing up the road with a pneumatic drill. As soon as he had hung up, he went over to the workmen and told them that if a policeman ordered them to go away, they were not to take him seriously. He added that a student had dressed up as a policeman and was playing all sorts of silly jokes on people. Both the police and the workmen were grateful to the student for this piece of advance information.

The student hid in an archway nearby where he could watch and hear everything that went on. Sure enough, a policeman arrived on the scene and politely asked the workmen to go away. When he received a very rude reply from one of the workmen, he threatened to remove them by force. The workmen told him to do as he pleased and the policeman telephoned for help. Shortly afterwards, four more policemen arrived and remonstrated with the workmen. As the men refused to stop working, the police attempted to seize the pneumatic drill. The workmen struggled fiercely and one of them lost his temper. He threatened to call the police. At this, the police pointed out ironically that this would hardly be necessary as the men were already under arrest. Pretending to speak seriously, one of the workmen asked if he might make a telephone call before being taken to the station. Permission was granted and a policeman accompanied him to a pay phone. Only when he saw that the man was actually telephoning the police did he realize that they had all been the victims of a hoax.

【课文翻译】

谁也弄不清为什么大学生好像比任何人都更喜欢恶作剧。大学生擅长一种特殊的恶作剧——戏弄人。请消防队来扑灭一场根本没有的大火是一种低级骗局，有自尊心的大学生决不会去做。大学生们常常做的是制造一种可笑的局面，使大家笑上一场，当然受害者是笑不出来的。最近有个学生看见两个工人在学校门外用风钻干活，马上打电话报告警察，说有两个学生装扮成工人，正在用风钻破坏路面。挂上电话后，他又马上来到工人那儿，告诉他们若有个警察来让他们走开，不要把他当回事，还对工人说，有个学生常装扮成警察无聊地同别人开玩笑。警察与工人都对那个学生事先通报情况表示感谢。

那个学生躲在附近一拱形的门廊里，在那儿可以看见、听到现场发生的一切。果然，警察来了，不礼貌地请工人离开此地;但其中一个工人粗鲁地回了几句。于是警察威胁要强行使他们离开。工人说，悉听尊便。警察去打电话叫人。一会儿工夫，又来了4个警察，规劝工人离开。由于工人拒绝停下手中的活，警察想夺风钻。两个工人奋力抗争，其中一个发了火，威胁说要去叫警察。警察听后讥讽地说，这大可不必，因为他俩已被逮捕了。其中一个工人装模作样地问道，在被带往警察局之前，是否可以打一个电话。警察同意了，陪他来到一个投币地电话前，当他看到那个工人真的是给警察挂电话，才恍然大悟，原来他们都成一场骗局的受害者。

篇2：新概念英语第三册40课

Insurance companies are normally willing to insure anything. Insuring public or private property is a standard practice in most countries in the world. If, however, you were holding an open air garden party or a fete it would be equally possible to insure yourself in the event of bad weather. Needless to say, the bigger the risk an insurance company takes, the higher the premium you will have to pay. It is not uncommon to hear that a ship ping company has made a claim for the cost of salvaging a sunken ship. But the claim made by a local authority to recover the cost of salvaging a sunken pie dish must surely be unique.

Admittedly it was an unusual pie dish, for it was eighteen feet long and six feet wide. It had been purchased by a local authority so that an enormous pie could be baked for an annual fair. The pie committee decided that the best way to transport the dish would be by canal, so they insured it for the trip. Shortly after it was launched, the pie committee went to a local inn to celebrate. At the same time, a number of teenagers climbed on to the dish and held a little party of their own. Dancing proved to be more than the dish could bear, for during the party it capsized and sank in seven feet of water.

The pie committee telephoned a local garage owner who arrived in a recovery truck to salvage the pie dish. Shivering in their wet clothes, the teenagers looked on while three men dived repeatedly into the water to locate the dish. They had little difficulty in finding it, but hauling it out of the water proved to be a serious problem. The sides of the dish were so smooth that it was almost impossible to attach hawsers and chains to the rim without damaging it. Eventually chains were fixed to one end of the dish and a powerful winch was put into operation. The dish rose to the surface and was gently drawn towards the canal bank. For one agonizing moment, the dish was perched precariously on the bank of the canal, but it suddenly overbalanced and slid back into the water. The men were now obliged to try once more. This time they fixed heavy metal clamps to both sides of the dish so that they could fasten the chains. The dish now had to be lifted vertically because one edge was resting against the side of the canal. The winch was again put into operation and one of the men started up the truck. Several minutes later, the dish was successfully hauled above the surface of the water. Water streamed in torrents over its sides with such force that it set up a huge wave in the canal. There was danger that the wave would rebound off the other side of the bank and send the dish plunging into the water again. By working at tremendous speed, the men managed to get the dish on to dry land before the wave returned.

【课文翻译】

保险公司一般说来愿意承保一切东西。承办公共财产或私人财产保险是世界上大部分国家的正常业务。如果你要举办一次露天游园会或盛宴，为避免碰上不好的天气而遭受损失也同样可以保险，不用说，保险公司承担风险越大，你付的保险费也就越高。航运公司为打捞沉船而提出索赔，这是常有的事，但某地.打捞一只焙制馅饼的盘子提出索赔，倒是件新鲜的事儿。

这个馅饼盘子确实少见，有18英尺长，6英尺宽。某地方.下它用来焙制一个巨大的馅饼为一年一度交易会助兴。馅饼委员会确认运输这只盘子的方案是通过运河水运。于是，他们对这只盘子的运输安全投了保。盘子下水后不久，馅饼委员会成员们来到当地一家小酒店庆贺。就在这个时候，许多十几岁的孩子爬盘子举行他们自己的集会。他们跳起了舞，盘子难以承受。舞会进行过程中，盘子倾覆，沉入了7英尺深的水中。

馅饼委员会给当地汽车修理库老板打电话，他闻讯后开着一辆急修车前来打捞盘子。那些孩子们穿着湿衣服哆嗦，看着3个工人轮潜入水中以确定盘子的位置。他们没费多大事儿就找到了盘子。可是把盘子捞出却是一个很大的难题。盘子四边十分光滑，要在盘边拴上绳索或链条而同时又不损坏它是很难办到的。不过，他们终于将链条固定在盘子的一端，一台大功率的绞车开动起来。盘子慢慢浮出水面，被轻轻地拽向运河岸边。在令人忐忑不安的瞬间，盘子晃晃悠悠地上了岸，但它突然失去了平衡，又跌回水中。工人们只得再来一次。这次，他们用沉重的金属夹子把盘子夹住，以便往盘子上安装铁链。这次，盘子必须垂直吊出水面，因为盘子的一边紧靠着运河河岸。绞盘机再次启动，一位工人发动了急修车的引擎。几分钟后，盘子被成功地拽出了水面。波浪从盘子两侧急涌而出，在运河里掀起一股大浪。但是当波浪从河对岸折回来时，就有再次把盘子拖进水里的危险。工人们动作迅速，终于赶在那股大浪返回之前把盘子拽到了岸上。

篇3：新概念英语第三册40课

一、“新三”向我们传达了地道的英语思维模式

语言是思维的一种体现，从整体上把握西方人的思维方式，用英语去思考，是写出地道英语论文的关键所在。“新三”很好地传达了这一点，向我们揭示了英语思维的“至高无上的秘诀”。

在第3课《无名女神》(An Unknown Goddess)中有这样一段描写：“The city at one time must have been prosperous, for it enjoyed a high level of civilization.Houses-often three storeys highwere built of stone.They had large rooms with beautifuly decorated walls.The city was even equipped with a drainage system, for a great many clay pipes were found beneath the narrow streets.”这一段总共四句话。第一句话讲这座城市曾经很繁华，享有高度文明。第二句讲房子，房子有三层楼高，还是石头造的。第三句讲房间，房间很大，墙壁装饰很华丽。第四句讲城市甚至还有排水系统。我们分析一下不难发现，其实第一句话就是作者要表达的中心意思：城市很繁华。后三句不过是从三个不同角度(房子、房间、排水系统)来论证作者要表达的中心意思(为什么作者可以断定这座古城曾经一度很繁华)。到这里，英语思维“至高无上的秘诀”就已经完全揭示了：中文和英文在思维上存在巨大的差异，所以表达上也存在巨大的差异;中文表达遵循的是偏正结构，而英文表达却是开门见山的，总是把最重要的中心先说出来;更通俗一点来讲，中文的习惯表达方式是“因为……所以……”，而英文的表达习惯一般是“之所以……是因为……”。

按照北美大学的要求，学生论文(essay)除了开头段和结尾段之外，一般要有三段正文，从三个不同的角度去支持命题(thesis)。如果能够深刻领悟“新三”的“良苦用心”，掌握英语的思维模式，我们完全可以把每段的正文格式固定下来，就是主旨句(topic sentence)加上支持性细节(supporting details)。主旨句表达全段的中心思想。支持性细节是支持主旨句的事例、细节、理由等，目的是帮助读者充分理解作者在主旨句中所表达的含义。这一格式完全符合西方人的思维模式。

我们不妨再来欣赏一段文字，这是由ETS提供的、他们非常肯定的“外国学生的优秀作文”。事实上这段文字就严格遵循了我们刚才提到的格式，和“新三”的课文实在有异曲同工之妙：“Parents are the best teachers of their children.They teach their children to utter sounds when they are babies.They coach them hand in hand for walking.When their children begin formal education, parents tutor them in their homework.Apart from this, parents direct their children’s moral;they instruct and show their children what is right and what is wrong, which is not effectivelytaught at school.”很显然，主旨句加上实例支持，不仅使结构清晰明了，更使读者读来倍觉有趣，产生认同感，完全符合西方人的表达习惯。

二、“新三”向我们展示了论证的严密性和逻辑性

对于这一点，我们不妨还是用一个实例来证明。

“住在乡村好还是住在城市好”是大学非常熟悉的、也是饶有趣味的一个话题。“新三”的第41课讨论的正是这个话题，叫“宁静田园生活的遐想”(Illusions of Pastoral peace)。文章开篇作者直抒胸臆，说“宁静的乡村生活从来没有吸引过我”(The puiet life of the country has never appealed to me.)。然而，作者没有就这个观点马上展开论证，而是先肯定一个事实：“我的许多朋友都住在城市，但他们只要一提起乡村，马上就会变得欣喜若狂”(Most of my friends live in the city, yetthey always go into raptures at the mere mention of the coun-try.)。接下来作者就站在这部分人的角度，描述了住在乡村的好处：“友好的农民，洁净的空气，贴近大自然的环境和悠闲的生活节奏”(the friendly people, the clean atmosphere, the closeness to nature and the gentle pace of living)，当然，还有乡村无与伦比的美景———“凌晨雄鸡的第一声啼叫，黎明时分小鸟的叽喳欢歌，冉冉升起的朝阳给树木和牧草镀上了一层金光”(the first cockcrow, the twittering of birds at dawn, the sight of the rising sun glinting on the trees and pastures)。正当读者跟随作者一起陶醉在乡村生活中的时候，出人意料地，作者很尖锐地提出了乡村生活若干致命的不足：第一，缺乏娱乐，只有“在电视机前度过漫长寂寞的冬夜”(the long and friendless winter evenings in front of the TV———virtually the only form of entertainment)。第二，“商店货物品种单调”(the poor selection of goods in the shops)。第三，为了赶往城里上班，住在乡村的人必须“每天在路上奔波四个小时”(people who have to travel from the country to the city every day to get to work...a four-hour journey each day)。读到这里，显然，“一语惊醒梦中人”，乡下生活那一点点乐趣已被无情地摧毁了。所以作者话锋一转，指出，“城市可以为你提供生活中最美好的东西”(...you will find the city can provide you with the best that life can offer.)：首先，朋友都住在附近，“你去看朋友不用跋涉好几英里”(You never have to travel miles to see you friends.)。其次，文化生活丰富，“坐公共汽车几站路，就可以看到最新的展览，电影，戏剧”(The latest exhibitions, films or plays are only a short bus ride away.)。再者，不容质疑，城里的物品品种繁多，“从来不必用二等品来凑合”(There is so much variety that you never have to make do with second best.)。还有一点，乡村虽有风光，“城市也并非没有良辰美景”(Nor is the city without its moments of beauty.)，“寒冷潮湿的冬夜里广告灯箱发出的暖光”(the warm glow shed by advertisements on cold wet winter nights)，“周末空旷街市笼罩着的宁静气氛”(the peace that descends on deserted city streets at weekends)，都使城市更加地旖旎多姿。

现在，我们来仔细梳理一下作者的写作思路，总共有六个步骤。第一步，作者提出自己的论点：城市生活好。第二步，作者提出对方的论点：乡村生活好。第三步，作者摆出对方的论据：友善的农民、清洁的空气、贴近大自然、缓慢的生活节奏、美景等。第四步，作者驳斥对方的论据：缺乏娱乐生活，购物不便，住在乡村到城里上班花费时间长。第五步，作者摆出自己的论据：朋友、精神生活、商品丰富、美景等。第六步，作者最后再次提出：相比较而言，还是城市生活好。六个步骤完成了无懈可击的论证。

事实上，我们完全可以把这篇文章的精彩论证思路应用在我们的托福论文写作上。比如，在ETS的独立写作(Independent Writing)部分的官方题库中(总共有185个题目)，第107个是论证：“高等教育应该面向全体学生，还是仅面向好学生?”题目为：“Some people believe that a college or university education should be available to all students;others believe that higher education should be available only to good students.Discuss these views and explain the one you agree with.”如果我们感到没有思路，无从下手，完全可以模仿“新三”这篇文章的思路。

具体设计如下：

(a）开头（Introductory Paragraph)

开场白先提出涉及的问题(issue)，然后摆出两种不同的观点，道明文章将在某一共同点上探讨两者(These two viewsare based on different beliefs.)。

(b）正文（Body Paragraph)

正文第一段论述两者中的一方，最好是作者准备舍弃的一方如：Higher education should be limited to only good students.首先摆出产生这一观点的原由，如：could save the government’s fund on education，然后指出其不足之处，为作者自己选择第二者埋下伏笔，如：These high school graduates, especially the socalled bad students, since they are refused by colleges or universities, have nothing to do and would easily from gangs strolling in the streets.正文第二段论述第二方，最好是作者准备选择的一方，如：a college or university education should be available to all students。在说明这一方的产生原因之后，作些肯定性的评价，再次为作者的选择埋下伏笔，如，Every student should have the equal right to have education./When mass students have university education year afer year, the education level of the whole society will finally get promoted, resulting in a better quality of the nation.

(c）结尾段（Concluding Paragraph)

以作者身份作出自己的抉择并说明理由：Apparently, opening university doors to all students benefits the society and the whole nation rather than individual students;therefore, it is a better choice for us to take.

类似的例子可谓“比比皆是”，在这就不多举了。

三、“新三”让我们领略到文字的迷人魅力

托福写作的评分标准中非常重要的一项是遣词造句能力(word choices and sentence variety)。如何做到用词准确和句型丰富呢?学习“新三”，可以接触到正式化的英语，体会到语言的灵动多变，领略到文字本身的美。

比如，说到“走”和“看”，很多中国学生能写出来的只有“walk”和“see”，一篇文章之中反复使用，非常苍白。但在“新三”中我们可以学到一些更有表现力，极富感情力的词，比如，“走”有stroll, pace, tread, plod, stride, slog, lumber;“看”有gaze, gape, gawp, glance, glimpse, stare, peep, peek等多种表达，什么时候该用哪个词，怎样运用能为写作增添色彩，在“新三”中都有生动详细的说明。正如：They strolled together beneath the summer moon.(他们在夏夜的月光下散步。)岂不比僵硬的“They walked together beneath the summer moon.”浪漫，有情调得多?

“新三”中的经典句型更可谓是数不胜数, 短句韵律顿挫, 长句华美旖旎。更有人形容说, “短句如关西大汉, 持板唱铮铮秦腔;长句如江南佳丽, 素手弄丝竹管”。比如上面提到的41课“Illusions of Pastoral Peace”, 除了论证结构严密紧凑之外, 还向我们展现了一个美妙的语言世界。像“Nothing can be compared, he maintains, with the first cockcrow, the twittering of birds at dawn, the sight of the rising sun glinting on the trees and pastures.”简直是天籁之句:“Nor is the city without its monents of beauty.”更是在一个短短的句子中包含了我们中学生很不擅长的倒装、双重否定等修辞手法。这样的例子比比皆是, 信手拈来。当然, 单纯的欣赏是不够的, 具有实用性和可模仿至关重要。第4课“The Double Life of Alfred Bloggs” (阿尔弗雷德-布洛格斯的双重生活) 中有这样一个句子, “Such is human nature, that’s a great many people are often willing to sacrifice higher pay for the privilege of becoming white-collar workes.”, 熟练掌握之后要表达“此乃人之常情”就一点不费力了, 就是“Such is human nature that...”。遇到要写“情况是……”的时候也只要稍微举一反三, 套用这个句型, 写成“Such is human nature, that...”, 虽然简单但却很地道, 效果出乎意料。再如, 第33课“难忘的一天” (A Day to Remember) 第一句就是:We have all experienced days when everything goes wrong.这个句式或写人, 或状物, 或绘景, 或抒怀, 无一不可。比如遇到比较无奈的环保话题, 我们不必光板起面孔说道理, 不如换个角度:We have all experienced days when birds were singing, but today theyrefuse to sing any more.不是很生动很贴切吗?

除了单词、句子之外, “新三”中更有一些值得背诵学习的句群。比如, 第七课“残钞鉴别组” (Mutilated Ladies) , 文章开篇连用三个问句:“Has it ever happened to you?Have you ever put your trousers in the washing maching and then remembered there was a large bank note in your back pocket?When you rescued your trousers, did you find the note was whiter than white?”用问句开篇能吸引读者的兴趣, 自然过渡要论述的话题, 是一种很有效的开头段的方法。托福考试中也有“乡村和城市”这个话题, 有个学生就这样来开篇:“Have you ever been late for school or work due to the heavy traffic jams?Have you ever noticed that the atmosphere in cities is getting worse and worse?Fortunately, people living in the countryside do not need to worry about sunch problems...”虽然这段文字还很幼稚, 却使这个学生的文章在千篇一律的模板作文中脱颖而出, 让考官眼前一亮。

事实上，国外的名校都非常重视学生的写作能力，所以对托福考试作文的要求也在提高。在备考的过程当中，学生要摈弃那些临时抱佛脚的功利做法，静下心来玩味、背诵“新三”中的好篇章，利用这本经典的教材全面提高写作能力，真正地去迎战托福作文。

篇4：如何学好新概念英语第三册（上）

词汇

背英语单词对大多数英语学习者来说，总是挥不去梦魇，一遍遍开始又一次次半途而废。然而，许多成功的英语学习者都有这样一种共识：英语单词的学习既是一种挑战，又是一种磨练，是你通向美好未来的必闯之关。过词汇关没有捷径可走，但却有破关秘技。

如何学习英语单词？我们先打个比喻，掌握生词和短语就如同要征服一匹匹桀骜不驯的野马，除了坚韧不拔的毅力之外，还需要两样东西:“拴马桩”和“缰绳”。“拴马桩”就是你已经掌握的单词和短语，“缰绳”就是不同的记词法。

“拴马桩” ：进入第三册的学习之前，你已经至少掌握了2000左右基本英语常用词汇，而它们几乎可以解释所有你将遇见的生词。因此，将生词与熟词以各种方式捆绑记忆，是诀窍之一。

“缰绳”:没有哪一种记词法是最好的，推荐综合运用多种记忆法，将词汇以链式或发散式的形式联系，而非一盘散沙。心理学研究表明，经过归类的知识要比零散的知识记得牢固。因此，如何通过运用各种记词法，从多种渠道将英语词汇知识进行联想和联系，是诀窍之二。这样，既可以培养你达到“Learn English by English” 的至高境界，又可以使你以滚雪球般的速度急速扩展你的词汇量。

以下将逐一介绍各种记词法，并配上课文中的示例，开始你“训”词的基本功训练。

记词法主要包括词形法、词义法和词用法：

1．词形法:构词法记忆，同根词联想，形近词联想和同族词联想。

* 构词法记忆:英语是拼音文字，了解一些常用前缀、词根和后缀，学习单词就仿佛在玩拼字游戏，掌握了游戏规则，就可以大大提高记忆效率和猜词能力（但不能以此去造词）。

《英语词根》（上海交通大学出版社、范家材著）

* 同根词联想:老师会在教学过程中介绍常见词根，你在记忆单词时也要有意识地进行同根词联想，如：“pel-”= drive, push;那么compel（强迫）；dispel（驱散）；expel（开除，驱逐）;impel（推进，驱动）；propel（推进）；repel（击退，使反感）。

* 形近词联想:有个笑话说，学汉语的老外碰到这三个汉字：“己”，“已” 和“巳” 时，得借助尺子量一量才辨得清。同样，我们在学习英语词汇时也会遇到大量的形近词，如：content（使满足）, contend（斗争）, consent（赞成）；又如，可以进行这样的联想:bear, dear, fear, gear, hear, near, pear, rear, tear, wear, year。

* 同族词联想:大量单词就如同一家子一样，有着紧密的血缘关系,如：real, realize, realization, realism, realist, realistic, realistically等。

2．词义法：包括近义词联想，同义词辨析，反义词联想。

* 近义词联想：在表达某个意义时，往往有多种表达法，用词的变化更能表现你对英语超凡的理解与运用，这也是新概念第三册学习所追求的目标，但同时要注意词义色彩和语体的差别，如：常用词，书面用语，俚语，俗语，委婉语等。fire, dismiss, discharge, ax, sack, drop, give sb. the sack, give sb. the boot。

* 同义词辨析：大量同义词中有很多属于易混淆词辨析这些词，必须留意它们的细微分别，对比它们的词义、用法、感情色彩和语体等。

* 反义词联想：特别是形容词和副词的反义词联想。

* 主题词联想：多数单词在意义上是有联系的，它们多属于同一个范畴或主题，如：进行这样的联想对口语和写作有极大的帮助。

3.词用法:

* 习惯搭配;

* 常用习语;

* 经典例句。

此外，学习词汇还应注意以下两点：

如何提高复习的质量：

复习的次数：根据遗忘先快后慢的规律，我们复习的时间间隔应先短后长：第一次间隔几小时，第二次间隔一两天，第三次四五天，第四次约一个星期，第五次一个月，第六次几个月。如此往复，达到n次记忆。

复习的程度：指的是“单词熟记的程度”，如果我们把恰能成诵所需的次数作为100%，根据心理学研究成果，熟记程度达到150%，记忆效果为最好。

复习的方式：分散记忆要比集中记忆效果好。

培养猜词义的习惯和能力;

利用上下文猜词义;

利用构词法猜词义。

语法

无论你是已完成新概念英语第二册，或念完高中英语甚至大学英语，你都已经学习了大部分英语语法知识，在第三册阶段你的任务就是要使你的语法知识更系统化，更实用化，不要让语法再成为零敲碎打的习题测试，运用语法知识达到精确表达。强烈推荐关注课文中的经典句型，并结合课后有关结构的练习，巩固和扩展语法知识。

此外，我们还精心编写了《新概念语法精粹》，让你轻松解决语法中的疑难。语法学习要注意以下几点：

1. 弄清自己的语法薄弱环节或语法盲区，做到有针对性的补漏。

2. 构建整体语法结构，不能再只见“树”而不见“林”。

VI Teaching procedures Step1 Greeting and warm up

T:Hello,everybody,boys and girls,how are you today? S:fine,thanks,and you? T:I am fine too,thank you 1 T:welcome to the new concept English book three,developing skills ,I am MR Wang from the TT elite , It’s really great pleasure to be with you in this course ,I hope you will find your study to be great progress;大家好，下边就由我来为大家讲授新概念英语第三册，第三册的标题是 developing skills，就是说这一册的学习者应当具有一定的基础才谈得上发展和提高，那么基础的标准是什么呢，大致来说就是英语中等水平，无论你是否学习过这套教材的前一、二册，只要你认为你已经具备或大体具备英文的中等水平，都可以从这一册开始学习，what skill should you develop?briefly speaking,it’s language proficiency in listening speaking、reading and writing , 熟练的掌握这四项基本技能，是为了提高我们常说的语感，我们还是会从一篇一篇的小故事开始，就像这套教材的作者亚历山大强调的，一篇有趣的故事可以提供一个活的语言环境，这样我们学习到的就不是孤立的字词，而是语言在具体环境当中的交流和实际应用，和语言后面潜在的文化信息.Step2 Lead in and presentation T:And now let’s start from the beginning ,;Lesson1:A puma at large，This lesson is about an escaping puma, 这课讲的是一头正在逃遁的美洲狮，first，listen to me read the text carefully，and see if you can answer this question:where must the puma have come from? T:Pumas are large, ‘cat-like animals’ which are found in America.When reports came into London Zoo that a wild puma had been spotted forty-five miles south of London, they were not taken seriously.However, as the evidence began to accumulate, experts from the Zoo felt obliged to investigate, for the descriptions given by people who claimed to have seen the puma were extraordinarily similar.The hunt for the puma began in a small village where a woman picking blackberries saw a large cat only five yards away from her.It immediately ran away when she saw it, and experts confirmed that a puma will not attack a human being unless it is cornered.The search proved difficult, for the puma was often observed at one place in the morning and at another place twenty miles away in the evening.Wherever it went, it left behind it a trail of dead deer and small animals like rabbits.Paw prints were seen in a number of places and puma fur was found clinging to bushes.Several people complained of ‘cat-like noises’ at night and a businessman on a fishing trip saw the puma up a tree.The experts were now fully convinced that the animal was a puma, but where had it come from ? As no pumas had been reported missing from any zoo in the country, this one must have been in the possession of a private collector and somehow managed to escape.The hunt went on for several weeks, but the puma was not caught.It is disturbing to think that a dangerous wild animal is still at large in the quiet countryside.T:So where must the puma have come from?注意这里用的是must have come from ,must 它的基本词义是必须，但是它在这里表达的是一种 推断和猜测,我们再回到这个问题，where must the puma have come from？the text tells us that the puma must have escaped from the private collection,y也就是说这头美洲狮是一个私人豢养的，这个结论呢是在有呢很多线索之后得到的，整篇课文给我们讲述的是越来越充实的证据（accumulating evidence），讲述的是专家们由不太当真(not taken seriously)到不得不去调查（felt obliged to investigate），到最后完全肯定的一个过程（fully convinced），那么这些证据究竟有哪些？又是怎样影响了专家们的看法，请同学们在学习中理清课文的这些脉络。T:Now let’s look at some language points in the text T:A puma at large

T:Be at large(潜逃),Who can give me an example of this expression? S:有学生举手，多叫几名同学，然后老师也可以给一个： The escaped prisoners are still at large（逃犯还没有落网）T:这篇课文在几处都出现了表示看或看见的词语，When reports came into London Zoo that a wild puma had been spotted forty-five miles south of London……

People who claimed to have seen the puma…… The puma was often observed at one place……

T:表示看见这个意思，see是最常用的词，而 observe要比see更加书面化，spot means to notice something very difficult to see ,or find something being looked for 表示看到了不太容易看到的东西，或者发现了正在寻找的东西。Who can give me an example? S:请学生回答；老师给出例子

I spotted someone coming out of the building

T:as the evidence began to accumulate, experts from the Zoo felt obliged to investigate……Accumulate means to gradually increase over a period of time 指的是逐渐增加或积累

T:feel obliged to 这是一个固定词组，经常用来做书面语，must，have to，have a duty to do 必须有义务、责任做……事前 S:请学生回答并给出例子eg：I felt obliged to invite him

T:The hunt for the puma began in a small village where a woman picking blackberries saw a large cat;Hunt 捕猎 搜寻

T:请同学翻译go on a deer /fox hunt 猎（鹿、狐）；The hunt for the remains of the titanic（搜寻TITANIC残骸）；Hunt for second-hand book（搜寻二手书）；Job-hunting（找工作）T:Pick采摘；Pick cotton摘棉花；

S:请学生翻译We need to pick someone reliable 挑选我们要找一个可靠的人

T:Pick and choose 挑挑拣拣

T:A puma will not attack a human being unless it is cornered;Cornered 陷入困境 被逼得走投无路

T:The search proved difficult;Prove=turn out to be 证明是 原来是VI S:请学生翻译They proved her innocence

他们证实了她是无辜的（证实VT）；The rumour proved false 谣言证明是错误的； Puma fur was found clinging to bushes ；

T:Cling-clung-clung 过去式过去分词;Cling to 粘住

S:学生翻译His wet shirt clung to his body ；She clings to the belief that her Husband will come back 坚持固执的相信

T:Some people complained of ‘cat like noises’ at night ……表示报告或者是述说,表示一种不满的情绪

T:complain跟的介词不同意思也不同complain about the weather 抱怨天气不好;complain of a headache 述说自己头疼

T:It is disturbing to think that a dangerous wild animal is still at large in the quiet countryside

worrying令人担忧的不安的

T:Disturb 打搅 Sorry to disturb you 对不起打扰你了;Do not disturb

His strange behaviour disturbed me 他举止反常让我很担心

T:However, as the evidence began to accumulate, experts from the Zoo felt obliged to investigate, for the descriptions given by people who claimed to have seen the puma were extraordinarily similar.T:大家都知道 在英文中基本的句型就是简单句 并列句以及复杂句，就是我们经常听到的simple sentences

compound sentences complex sentences,这篇课文主要是有复杂句构成的，now look at sentence please ,要理解一个复杂句，最重要的是要搞清句子的结构，然后通过连接词，分清主句和从句之间的关系，就是说要把握主句和从句的位置，而主句和从句的关系是由连接词来判断的，在这个句子当中，主句就是experts from the Zoo felt obliged to investigate，主句前边有一 个as引导的从句，他表示的是一种伴随主句同时发生的状态，它的后边又有一个for引导的从句来交代原因，而这个从句当中有一个given，它起的实际上是一个定语从句的作用，用来修饰 descriptions，如果用从句来表达就是which had been given by people，而这个从句当中由套着一个从句，是由who来引导的，用来修饰people，所以一个句子结构不论有多么复杂，只要我们能把握连接词，在句子当中的作用，和意思，就不难理解。

T:When reports came into London Zoo that a wild puma had been spotted;the puma was often observed at one place in the morning and at another place;Paw prints were seen…… puma fur was found clinging to bushes;As no pumas had been reported missing from any zoo in the country

T:当英文中表示一个事实的客观性的时候往往用被动语态，这篇课文就是这样讲的是美洲狮 在各处出现并且被人目击的情形，我们来看看被动语态在课文当中的使用：had been spotted，was …… observed，were seen……，was found clinging，had been reported missing;另外was found clinging

had been reported missing 是在被动语态之后加上现在分词，起补充说明主语的作用

T;我们知道了西方有收集动物的人，在我们中国现在呢也有喂养宠物的人……
