1、第一單元Frederick 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 used to make it. The amber which was selected had a beau

2、tiful 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 room was not made to be a gift. It was designed for the palace

3、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 Room became part of the Czar s winter palace in St Petersbur

4、g. About four metres long, the room served as a small reception hall for important visitors.Later, Catherine had the Amber Room moved to a palace outside St Petersburg where she spent her summers. She told her artists to add more details to it. In 1770 the room was completed the way she wanted. Almo

5、st 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 Petersburg. This was a time when the two countries were at war. Before the

6、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 inside twenty-seven wooden boxes. There is no doubt that the boxes

7、 were then put on a train for Konigsberg, which was at that time a German city on the Baltic Sea. After that,what happened to the Amber Room remain a mystery.Recently, the Russians and Germans have built a new Amber Room at the summer palace. By studying old photos of the former Amber Room, they hav

8、e 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.【翻譯】尋找琥珀屋普魯士國(guó)王威廉一世決不可能想到他送給俄羅斯人民的厚禮會(huì)有這樣一段令人驚訝的歷史。這件禮物就是琥珀屋，它之所以有這個(gè)名字，是因?yàn)樵爝@間房子用了好幾噸的琥珀。選出來(lái)的琥珀色彩艷麗，呈現(xiàn)蜂蜜一樣的黃褐色。琥珀屋的設(shè)計(jì)采用了當(dāng)時(shí)流行的別致的建筑式樣。它也是用金銀珠寶裝飾起來(lái)的珍品。一批國(guó)家最

9、優(yōu)秀的藝術(shù)用了大約十年的時(shí)間才把它完成。事實(shí)上，這個(gè)琥珀屋并不是作為禮物來(lái)建造的。它是為腓特烈一世的宮殿設(shè)計(jì)（制作）的。然而，下一位普魯士國(guó)王，腓特烈威廉一世，這個(gè)琥珀屋的主人卻決定不要它了。在1716年，他把琥珀屋送給了彼得大帝。作為回贈(zèng)，沙皇則送給他一隊(duì)自己最好的士兵。這樣，琥珀屋就成了沙皇在圣彼得堡冬宮的一部分。這間琥珀屋長(zhǎng)約四米，被用作待重要賓的小型會(huì)客室。后來(lái)，葉卡捷琳娜二世派人把琥珀屋搬到圣彼得堡郊外她避暑的宮殿中。她叫她的工匠在原來(lái)設(shè)計(jì)的基礎(chǔ)上增添了更多精細(xì)的裝飾。1770年，這間琥珀屋按照她的要求完成了。將近600支蠟燭照亮了這個(gè)房間，里面的鏡子和圖畫(huà)就像金子一樣閃閃發(fā)光，可悲

10、的是，盡管琥珀屋被認(rèn)為是是世界上的一大奇跡之一，可是現(xiàn)在它卻消失了。1941年9月，納粹德國(guó)的軍隊(duì)逼近圣彼得堡。這是在兩國(guó)交戰(zhàn)的時(shí)期。在納粹分子到達(dá)夏宮之前，俄羅斯人只能把琥珀屋里的一些家具和小件藝術(shù)飾品搬走。可是琥珀屋本身卻被一些納粹分子偷偷地運(yùn)走了。在不到兩天的時(shí)間里，10萬(wàn)個(gè)部件裝進(jìn)了27個(gè)木箱。毫無(wú)疑問(wèn)，這些想在后來(lái)被裝上火車運(yùn)往哥尼斯堡，當(dāng)時(shí)德國(guó)在波羅的海邊的一個(gè)城市。從那以后，琥珀屋的去處便成了一個(gè)迷。近來(lái)，俄羅斯人和德國(guó)人已經(jīng)在夏宮建起了一個(gè)新的琥珀屋，通過(guò)研究琥珀屋原來(lái)的照片，他們建造的新琥珀屋樣子和舊的看起來(lái)非常像。2003年春，圣彼得堡人民就用它來(lái)慶祝該市建成300周年。第

11、二單元AN INTERVIEW Pausanias, who was a Greek writerabout 2,000 years ago, has come on a magical journey on March 18th, 2007to find out about the present-dayOlympic Games. He is now interviewing Li Yan, a volunteer for the 2008 Olympic Games.P: My name is Pausanias. I lived in what you call Ancient Gre

12、ece and I used to write about the Olympic Games a long time ago. Ive come to your time to find out about the present- day Olympic Games because I know that in 2004 they were held in my homeland. May I ask you some questions about the modern Olympics? L: Good heavens! Have you really come from so lon

13、g ago? But of course you can ask any questions you like. What would you like to know? P: How often do you hold your Games? L: Every four years. There are two main sets of Games - the Winter and the Summer Olympics, and both are held every four years on a regular basis. The Winter Olympics are usuall

14、y held two years before the Summer Games. Only athletes who have reached the agreed standard for their event will be admitted as competitors. They may come from anywhere in the world. P: Winter Games? How can the runners enjoy competing in winter? And what about the horses? L: Oh no! There are no ru

15、nning races or horse riding events. Instead there are competitions like skiing and ice skating which need snow and ice. Thats why they re called the Winter Olympics. Its in the Summer Olympics that you have the running races, together with swimming, sailing and all the team sports. P: I see. Earlier

16、 you said that athletes are invited from all over the world. Do you mean the Greek world? Our Greek cities used to compete against each other just for the honour of winning. No other countries could join in, nor could slaves or women! L: Nowadays any country can take part if their athletes are good

17、enough. There are over 250 sports and each one has its own standard. Women are not only allowed, but play a very important role in gymnastics, athletics, team sports and . P: Please wait a minute! All those events, all those countries and even women taking part! Where are all the athletes housed? L:

18、 For each Olympics, a special village is built for them to live in, a main reception building, several stadiums for competitions, and a gymnasium as well. P: That sounds very expensive. Does anyone want to host the Olympic Games? L: As a matter of fact, every country wants the opportunity. Its a gre

19、at responsibility but also a great honour to be chosen. Theres as much competition among countries to host the Olympics as to win Olympic medals. The 2008 Olympics will be held in Beijing, China. Did you know that? P: Oh yes! You must be very proud. L: Certainly. And after that the 2012 Olympics wil

20、l be held in London. They have already started planning for it. A new village for the athletes and all the stadiums will be built to the east of London. New medals will be designed of course and. P: Did you say medals? So even the olive wreath has been replaced! Oh dear! Do you compete for prize mon

21、ey too? L: No, we dont. Its still all about being able to run faster, jump higher and throw further. Thats the motto of the Olympics, you know - Swifter, Higher and Stronger. P: Well, thats good news. How interesting! Thank you so much for your time.譯文訪談錄薩尼亞斯，誰(shuí)是希臘作家大約2000年前，正是這樣一個(gè)奇妙的旅程，3月18日，2007年，以

I began as a calculating machine in France in 1642. Although I was young I could simplify difficult sums. I developed very slowly and it took nearly two hundred years before

26、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 produce an answer quicker than any person. At that time it was considered a technological revolution and the start of my “artificial intelligence”.

27、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 mathematical 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 large

28、r. However, this reality also worried my designers. As time went by, I was made smaller. First as a PC(personal computer) and then as 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 trans

29、istors 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 time 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 couldnt believe it! But

30、 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 able 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 communicatio

31、n, finance and trade. I have also been put in robots and used to make mobile phones as well as help with medical operations. I 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 hap

32、piness that I am a devoted friend and helper of the human race!Andy- the androidMy first football competition was in Nagoya, Japan several years ago. Last year our team went to Seattle, Washington in the USA. We won second place. Personally, I think the team that won first place cheated. They had de

33、veloped 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. In a way our programmer is like our coach. She programs us with all the possible moves she has seen while watching hum

34、an games. Then she prepares reliable moves to use if a new situation arises. In this way I can make up new moves using “my artificial intelligence”. I would really like to play against a human team, for I have been programmed to act just like them. After all, with the help of my electronic brain whi

35、ch never forgets anything, using my intelligence is what Im all about!譯文隨著時(shí)間的流逝，我發(fā)生了很大的變化。我于1642年在法國(guó)開(kāi)始擔(dān)任計(jì)算機(jī)器。雖然我還年輕，但我可以簡(jiǎn)化困難的金額。我發(fā)展得非常緩慢，花了將近兩百年的時(shí)間才被查爾斯巴貝奇（Charles Babbage）建造成一臺(tái)分析機(jī)器。在我被一個(gè)使用帶孔卡的操作員編程后，我可以邏輯地思考，并比任何人都更快地產(chǎn)生答案。當(dāng)時(shí)，它被認(rèn)為是一場(chǎng)技術(shù)革命，也是我人工智能的開(kāi)始。1936年，我真正的父親艾倫圖靈（Alan Turing）寫(xiě)了一本書(shū)，講述了如何讓我成為一臺(tái)通用機(jī)器來(lái)

36、解決任何困難的數(shù)學(xué)問(wèn)題。從那時(shí)起，我的體型和腦力都迅速增長(zhǎng)。到了1940年代，我已經(jīng)長(zhǎng)得像一個(gè)房間一樣大，我想知道我是否會(huì)變得更大。然而，這個(gè)現(xiàn)實(shí)也讓我的設(shè)計(jì)師們感到擔(dān)憂。隨著時(shí)間的流逝，我變得越來(lái)越小。首先是PC（個(gè)人電腦），然后是筆記本電腦，自20世紀(jì)70年代以來(lái)，我一直在辦公室和家庭中使用。 這些變化只有在我的記憶力提高時(shí)才成為可能。首先，它被儲(chǔ)存在電子管中，然后存儲(chǔ)在晶體管上，后來(lái)儲(chǔ)存在非常小的芯片上。結(jié)果我完全改變了我的形狀。隨著年齡的增長(zhǎng)，我也變得越來(lái)越小。隨著時(shí)間的推移，我的記憶力已經(jīng)發(fā)展得如此之多，以至於我像大象一樣，我永遠(yuǎn)不會(huì)忘記我被告知的任何事情！我的記憶變得如此之大，甚至

37、我都不敢相信！但我總是孤獨(dú)地獨(dú)自站在那里，直到1960年代初，他們給了我一個(gè)由網(wǎng)絡(luò)連接的家庭。我能夠通過(guò)萬(wàn)維網(wǎng)與他人分享我的知識(shí)。 自20世紀(jì)70年代以來(lái)，我發(fā)現(xiàn)了許多新的應(yīng)用程序。我在通信，金融和貿(mào)易方面變得非常重要。我也被安置在機(jī)器人中，用于制作手機(jī)以及幫助醫(yī)療操作。我甚至被送入太空火箭，并被派去探索月球和火星。無(wú)論如何，我的目標(biāo)是為人類提供高質(zhì)量的生活。我現(xiàn)在真的充滿了幸福，因?yàn)槲沂侨祟惖闹覍?shí)朋友和幫助者！安迪-機(jī)器人.幾年前，我的第一次足球比賽是在日本名古屋舉行的。去年，我們的團(tuán)隊(duì)去了美國(guó)華盛頓州的西雅圖。我們贏得了第二名。就個(gè)人而言，我認(rèn)為贏得第一名的球隊(duì)作弊了。他們?cè)诒荣惽伴_(kāi)發(fā)了一

Please take me to adistantland where I can find the animal that gavefurto make this sweater. At once the carpet flew away

40、 and took her to Tibet. There Daisy saw an antelope looking sad. It said, Were being killed for the 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, Im sorry I didnt know that. I wonder what is

41、being done to help you. Flying carpet, please show me a place where theres some wildlife protection. The flying carpet travelled so fast that next minute they were in Zimbabwe. Daisy turnedaround and found that she was being watched by an elephant. Have you come to take my photo? it asked.In reliefD

42、aisyburst into laughter. Dont laugh,said the elephant, We used to be an endangered species. Farmers hunted us withoutmercy. 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 acertain

43、number of animals if they paid 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. Thats good news. It shows theimportanceof wildlife protection, but Id like to help as theWWFsuggests. The carpet rose again a

47、說(shuō)。請(qǐng)帶我去一個(gè)遙遠(yuǎn)的地方，在那里我可以找到給毛皮做這件毛衣的動(dòng)物。地毯立刻飛走了，把她帶到了西藏。在那里，黛西看到一只羚羊看起來(lái)很傷心。它說(shuō)，我們因?yàn)槎亲酉旅娴难蛎粴⑺?。我們的皮草正被用?lái)為像你這樣的人制作毛衣。因此，我們現(xiàn)在是一個(gè)瀕臨滅絕的物種。這時(shí)，黛西哭了起來(lái)，對(duì)不起，我不知道。我想知道正在做些什么來(lái)幫助你。飛毯，請(qǐng)給我看一個(gè)有野生動(dòng)物保護(hù)的地方。飛毯飛得如此之快，以至于下一分鐘他們就到了津巴布韋。黛西轉(zhuǎn)過(guò)身來(lái)，發(fā)現(xiàn)自己正被一頭大象盯上。你來(lái)拍我的照片了嗎？它問(wèn)。黛西如釋重負(fù)地大笑起來(lái)。別笑，大象說(shuō)，我們?cè)?jīng)是瀕臨滅絕的物種。農(nóng)民毫不留情地追捕我們。他們說(shuō)我們摧毀了他們的農(nóng)場(chǎng)，游客

Have you ever dreamed of playing in front of thousands of p

50、eople at a concert, at which everyone is clapping and appreciating your music? Do you sing karaoke and pretend you are a famous singer like Song Zuying or Liu Huan? To be honest, a lot of people attach great importance to becoming rich and famous. But just how do people form a band? Many musicians m

51、eet and form a band because they like to write and play their own music. They may start as a group of high-school students, for whom practising their music in someones house is the first step to fame. Sometimes they may prey to passers-by in the street or subway so that they can earn some extra mone

52、y for themselves or to pay for their instruments. Later they may give performances in pubs or clubs, for which they are paid in cash. Of course they hope to make records in a studio and sell millions of copies to become millionaires! However, there was one band that started in a different way. It wa

53、s called the Monkees and began as a TV show. The musicians were to play jokes on each other as well as play music, most of which was based loosely on the Beatles. The TV organizers had planned to find four musicians who could act as well as sing. They put an advertisement in a newspaper looking for rock musicians, but they could only find one who was good en
