1、2019北師大版高中英語(yǔ)必修一UNIT 1 LIFE CHOICESLESSON 1 LIFESTYLES 生活方式Im a . digital native! (-a P 8)我是一名數(shù)碼族！Im Joe, a student from London. Youll often find me sitting in front of my laptop.我是喬，來(lái)自倫敦的一名學(xué)生。你會(huì)發(fā)現(xiàn)我經(jīng)常坐在筆記本電腦前。The online world is a big part of my life. Im a “digital native”Ive been using the computer

2、since I was a kid. 網(wǎng)絡(luò)世界是我生活中的重要組成部分。我是一名“數(shù)碼族”，還是個(gè)孩子的時(shí)候就經(jīng)常使用電腦。I do a wide range of things online. Besides doing all my school work, I chat with my friends, watch films and read the daily news and other interesting articles; I also shop for various things online, such as books, computer hardware

3、 and other necessities. Its so convenient to be able to compare the quality and prices from different online shops before I buy. I also play computer games from time to time and I even play tennis on my television screen in my living room!我在網(wǎng)上做很多事情。除了做所有的學(xué)校作業(yè)外，我還和朋友聊天，看電影，閱讀每日新聞和其他有趣的文章；我還在網(wǎng)上買各種各樣的東

4、西，如書籍、電腦硬件和其他必需品。購(gòu)物前，能夠比較不同的網(wǎng)絡(luò)商店的質(zhì)量和價(jià)格是非常方便的。我也經(jīng)常玩電腦游戲，甚至用客廳的電視屏幕打網(wǎng)球游戲！My parents are worried that I may become an “Internet addict”. They think Im playing computer games all the time and I chat too much with online friends. According to them, there is a danger that I may not be able to tell whether

5、 these friends are real friends. My mum keeps telling me to go out with my school friends instead. Maybe shes right. Its important to meet friends in person from time to time, not just on social media. Actually, I do know I need to drag myself away from the online world sometimes, especially because

6、 real life can be just as interesting.我父母擔(dān)心我會(huì)成為一個(gè)網(wǎng)迷。他們認(rèn)為我一直不停地玩電腦游戲，并且總和網(wǎng)友聊天。在他們看來(lái)，我可能無(wú)法判斷這些人是否是真朋友，這是危險(xiǎn)的。媽媽一直讓我和學(xué)校的朋友們出去玩（而不是在家打游戲）。也許她是對(duì)的。時(shí)不時(shí)與朋友親自見(jiàn)面是很重要的，不能只是利用網(wǎng)絡(luò)交流。事實(shí)上，我非常清楚我有時(shí)需要強(qiáng)迫自己不上網(wǎng)，特別是因?yàn)楝F(xiàn)實(shí)生活也可以一樣有趣。Im . a go-getter! (-b P 9)我是一名積極進(jìn)取的人！Im Li Ying. I like to set goals for myself. Im a “go-gett

7、er”when I set out to do something, I do my best to achieve it.我是李穎。我喜歡為自己設(shè)定目標(biāo)。我是一名積極進(jìn)取的人當(dāng)我打算做一件事時(shí)，我會(huì)盡全力去實(shí)現(xiàn)。Senior secondary school is a new start. Studying is definitely a big part of my life. I tend to set a goal for every subject at the beginning of each term. My aim is to do well in every subject

8、 this term. Biology is my favourite subject, and my biggest target is to prepare myself for my degree in biology at university. I am always attentive in all classes and think actively, so that I can have more free time to do other things that Im interested in after school.高中是一個(gè)新的開始。學(xué)習(xí)當(dāng)然是我生活中的一個(gè)重要部分。

9、我傾向在學(xué)期開始時(shí)為每個(gè)科目設(shè)定一個(gè)目標(biāo)。這個(gè)學(xué)期，我的目標(biāo)是把每一門學(xué)科都學(xué)好。生物學(xué)是我最喜歡的學(xué)科，我的目標(biāo)是為獲得大學(xué)生物學(xué)學(xué)位做準(zhǔn)備。我總是在所有課上專心聽(tīng)講積極思考，這樣放學(xué)后我就有更多可支配的時(shí)間做我感興趣的事。I like reading books of all kinds. I have a top 10 reading list and I try to keep it updated. Meanwhile, Im an active member of my schools long-distance running team and volunteering club

10、. It always makes me excited to work hard and achieve a team goal together.我喜歡讀各種各樣的書。我有一份閱讀清單，并經(jīng)常更新這份清單。同時(shí)，我也是學(xué)校長(zhǎng)跑隊(duì)和志愿者俱樂(lè)部的積極成員。全力以赴，一起實(shí)現(xiàn)團(tuán)隊(duì)目標(biāo)，總是讓我興奮不已。To achieve all I want to, I must use my time well. At school, I do my homework when I have spare time. After school, I try to use any possible time

11、to revise the things I have learnt during the day. For example, it usually takes me 20 minutes to get home by bus. I often use the time to review English words. As the popular saying goes, every minute counts!” 為了實(shí)現(xiàn)我想要的一切，我必須好好利用時(shí)間。在學(xué)校，我利用空閑時(shí)間做作業(yè)。放學(xué)后，我盡可能利用所有時(shí)間溫習(xí)白天所學(xué)。例如，坐公交車回家通常需要20分鐘。我經(jīng)常利用這個(gè)時(shí)間

12、復(fù)習(xí)英語(yǔ)單詞。常言道：“分秒必爭(zhēng)！”Set a goal and get ahead!設(shè)定目標(biāo)并取得進(jìn)步！LESSON 3 YOUR LIFE IS WHAT YOU MAKE IT 你的生活你做主 (P 14-15)After a long day, Zhang Tian finally got back to his small room, feeling tired. He had started working at seven in the morning and it was eight in the evening now. He had to prepare his lesso

13、ns for the following day. This is a typical day for Zhang Tian. Coming to Guizhou Province to teach has been quite an experience for him.漫長(zhǎng)的一天過(guò)后，張?zhí)炱v不堪，終于回到了自己的小窩。他從早上七點(diǎn)開始一直在工作，現(xiàn)在已經(jīng)是晚上八點(diǎn)。他必須為第二天備課。這是張?zhí)斓湫偷囊惶臁?lái)貴州教書對(duì)他來(lái)說(shuō)是一次不尋常的體驗(yàn)。Zhang Tian graduated from university and got a teachers certificate last y

14、ear. His parents, like most, hope he would go to a big city to find a teaching job. Likewise, his friends all left his hometown for work in Shanghai or Beijing. Zhang Tian felt differently, however. He wanted to start a new lifestyle. He had met wonderful teachers from small villages during his earl

15、y school years and he was inspired by them to go and teach where he was needed the most. For that reason he applied for and became a volunteer teacher in a village school. Bringing with him lots of books, clothes, and two pairs of trainers, Zhang Tian travelled to the village with an eager heart. He

16、 imagined all sorts of exciting things about living independently and teaching in a village.去年，張?zhí)鞆拇髮W(xué)畢業(yè)并考取了教師資格證。他的父母和大多數(shù)人一樣，希望他能去一個(gè)大城市從事教學(xué)工作。他的朋友們也都離開了家鄉(xiāng)到上?；虮本┕ぷ?。然而，張?zhí)靺s有不同的想法。他想要開始一種新的生活方式。在學(xué)校初期他遇見(jiàn)了來(lái)自小村莊的教師，他被他們所鼓舞，到最需要的地方去教學(xué)。因此，他申請(qǐng)并成為了一所鄉(xiāng)村學(xué)校的志愿教師。張?zhí)鞄е芏鄷?、衣服和兩雙運(yùn)動(dòng)鞋，還有一顆熱切的心來(lái)到了村莊。他想象著自己在村里獨(dú)立生活、教書，會(huì)發(fā)生哪

17、些各種各樣令人興奮的事情。However, not everything lived up to Zhang Tians hopes. The school was much smaller than he had expected, with only three classrooms. In front of the classrooms, there was a playground which got dusty on windy days and muddy on rainy days. Living in the village was also more challenging

18、than he had thought. The power and water supplies were unstable, so he could only shower every three or four days, and he had to learn how to cook. The thought of leaving once flashed through his mind, but he quickly gave up on the idea and found ways to deal with the challenges.但是，不是每件事都像張?zhí)煜Ｍ哪菢印W(xué)校

19、比他想象的小得多，只有三個(gè)教室。教室前面有一個(gè)操場(chǎng)，刮風(fēng)時(shí)揚(yáng)塵，下雨時(shí)泥濘不堪。住在村子里也比他想象的更具挑戰(zhàn)性。電和水的供應(yīng)不穩(wěn)定，所以他只能每三四天洗一次澡，他還必須學(xué)會(huì)做飯。離開的想法曾在腦中閃現(xiàn)過(guò)，但是他很快放棄了這個(gè)念頭，并且找到了應(yīng)對(duì)挑戰(zhàn)的辦法。The school had just three teachers and Zhang Tian was the only English teacher. The other two local teachers were responsible for maths and Chinese. To make school life he

20、althier and livelier for his students, Zhang Tian introduced more subjects to the schoolmusic, art and PE. It is not surprising that PE is the kidsfavourite subject! Their school lives are now more attractive and interesting, and they enjoy playing football in the playground, as well as singing song

21、s theyve learnt. The school is now full of laughter and music. Zhang Tian is planning to organise the first-ever school concert! Everyone is very excited.學(xué)校只有三名老師，張?zhí)焓俏ㄒ坏挠⒄Z(yǔ)老師，另外兩名當(dāng)?shù)亟處熃淌跀?shù)學(xué)和語(yǔ)文。為了讓學(xué)生的校園生活更有益健康和活潑熱鬧，張?zhí)扉_設(shè)了更多的課程音樂(lè)、藝術(shù)和體育。毫不意外的是體育是孩子們最喜歡的科目。孩子們的學(xué)校生活現(xiàn)在更有吸引力也更有趣，他們喜歡在操場(chǎng)上踢足球，也喜歡唱學(xué)過(guò)的歌。校園里現(xiàn)在充滿了笑聲

22、和音樂(lè)。張?zhí)煺谟?jì)劃組織第一場(chǎng)學(xué)校音樂(lè)會(huì)！大家都很興奮。Zhang Tians first year is almost over. It has been a tough year, but he has enjoyed working with the children. What made him feel satisfied was that his students were able to read, speak and write in English and they became more confident in learning. Besides teaching, Zh

23、ang Tian also brought changes to the village. He contacted charity organisations about rebuilding the playground and setting up a library, and helped the villagers sell local products online. The contribution he made to the village was great, so he became very popular among the villagers and they tr

24、eated him as one of them. The village is like his second home now. Although he had only intended to stay for one year, he now feels ready to stay for another year. He feels so happy that he followed his heart when choosing what to do with his life, even though it may not be what others expected of h

26、1 (P 30)Paul and I were on our school basketball team, The Lions. We loved basketball and were both huge fans of the NBA. When we werent playing on the court which was next to our building, we were watching a game on TV. My favourite player was LeBron James. Pauls favourite player was Tyrone Bogues,

27、 a guy who played for the Charlotte Hornets, although we actually agree that they are both champions.我和保羅都是學(xué)校獅子籃球隊(duì)的隊(duì)員。我們熱愛(ài)籃球，都是NBA 的超級(jí)球迷。我們不在大樓附近的球場(chǎng)上打球，就在電視上看比賽。我最喜歡的球員是勒布朗·詹姆斯。保羅最喜歡的球員是蒂尼·博格斯，博格斯為夏洛特黃蜂隊(duì)效力。事實(shí)上，我們認(rèn)為他們都是冠軍。Bogues was only 1.6 metres tall, which made him the shortest player e

28、ver in the NBA. Guess what? Paul was only 1.6 metres tall, too! Paul knew that being shorter than other players meant that he had to practise more. During all those hours of doing jump shots on his own, he used Bogues as his inspiration. Paul once said, “If Bogues could make it, why not me?”博格斯身高只有一

29、米六，是NBA 史上最矮的球員。你猜怎么著？保羅身高也只有一米六！保羅知道比其他球員矮意味著他必須加強(qiáng)練習(xí)。在他自己跳投的時(shí)候，他用博格斯激勵(lì)自己。保羅有次說(shuō)到，“如果博格斯能做到，為什么我不能呢？”O(jiān)ur coach was not so sure. Paul had to try out many times just for making the team. He was still usually on the bench, being just a replacement, which was really tough on him. Everyone knew Paul had r

30、eal skills, and was someone who worked really hard and had a strong desire to play for the team. However, Paul didnt get a chance.我們的教練并不這么看。保羅多次參加選拔，方才入選球隊(duì)。然而，他通?！白宓省弊鳛樘嫜a(bǔ)隊(duì)員，這對(duì)他來(lái)說(shuō)是真夠倒霉的。每個(gè)人都知道保羅有真本事，而且他非常努力，想為球隊(duì)做出貢獻(xiàn)。然而，保羅沒(méi)有機(jī)會(huì)。This week, The Lions were playing our main competitors, The Bears, a team

31、 whose record this season had been perfect. They hadnt lost a single game. It would be a tough one. Paul didnt know hed soon get the chance that hed been waiting for.本周，獅子隊(duì)正在與我們的勁敵熊隊(duì)比賽，這是一支本賽季戰(zhàn)績(jī)完美的球隊(duì)，他們沒(méi)有輸過(guò)一場(chǎng)比賽。這將是一個(gè)艱難的過(guò)程。保羅這時(shí)并不知道他很快就能擁有一直等待的機(jī)會(huì)。Part 2 (P 31)Suddenly, a player and I crashed into each

The last quarter was about to begin, and my team was behind by 10 points.突然，我和一名球員撞到了一起，疼痛在我身上迅速蔓延。我的膝蓋受傷嚴(yán)重。球隊(duì)圍在我身邊，看起來(lái)很擔(dān)心。最后一節(jié)即將開始，我們隊(duì)已經(jīng)落后10分?！癐 dont think I can play anymore, coach,” I said quietly a

Let Paul play!”“沒(méi)錯(cuò)，”另一名球員說(shuō)，“不管怎樣我們都要輸了，讓保羅上場(chǎng)吧！”“Let me try, coach! I wont let you down!” Paul said.“讓我試試，教練！我不會(huì)讓你失望的！”保羅說(shuō)。“OK, OK!” the coach finally agreed. “Dont let us down, Paul. It

My host mother Mrs Chen said this was to sweep away the dirt of the past year and get ready for the new year.這是我第一次在中國(guó)和我的寄宿家庭一起過(guò)春節(jié)。每個(gè)中國(guó)家庭十分重視春節(jié)。準(zhǔn)備工作從節(jié)前一周開始。首先，房子從上到下都打掃了一遍。我的房東媽媽陳太太說(shuō)這是消除過(guò)去一年的積塵，為新的一年準(zhǔn)備。Next, the Chinese character Fu was atta
