ANNE’S BEST FRIEND

Do you want a friend whom you could tell everything to, like your deepest feelings and thoughts? Or are you afraid that your friend would laugh at you, or would not understand what you are going through? Anne Frank wanted the first kind, so she made her diary her best friend.

安妮最好的朋友

你想不想有一位無話不談能推心置腹的朋友？或者你會不會擔(dān)心你的朋友會嘲笑你，會不理解你目前的困境呢？安妮?弗蘭克想要的是第一種類型的朋友，所以她把的日記視為自己最好的朋友。

Anne lived in Amsterdam in the Netherlands during World War II. Her family was Jewish so the had to hide or they would be caught by the German Nazis. She and her family hide away for two years before they were discovered. During that time the only true friend was her diary. She said, “I don’t want to set down a series of facts in a diary as most people do, but I want this diary itself to be my friend, and I shall call my friend Kitty.” Now read how she felt after being in the hiding place since July 1942.

在第二次世界大戰(zhàn)期間，安妮住在荷蘭的阿姆斯特丹。她一家人都是猶太人，所以他們不得不躲藏起來，否則就會被德國的納粹分子抓去。她和她的家人躲藏了25個月之后才被發(fā)現(xiàn)。在那段時期，她的日記成了她唯一忠實的朋友。她說：“我不愿像大多數(shù)人那樣在日記中記流水賬。我要把我的日記當(dāng)作自己的朋友，我把我的這個朋友叫做基蒂�！爆F(xiàn)在，來看看安妮自1942年7月起躲進(jìn)藏身處后的那種心情吧。

Thursday 15, June, 1944

Dear kitty,

I wonder if it’s because I haven’t been able to be outdoors for so long that I’ve grown so crazy about everything to do with nature. I can well remember that there was a time when a deep blue sky, the song of the birds, moonlight and flowers could never have kept me spellbound. That’s changed since I was here.

?For example, when it was so warm, I stayed awake on purpose until half past eleven one evening in order to have a good look at the moon for once by myself. But as the moon gave far too much light, I didn’t dare open a window. Another time some months ago, I happened to be upstairs one evening when the window was open. I didn’t go downstairs until the window had to be shut. The dark, rainy evening, the wind, the thundering clouds held me entirely in their power; it was the first time in a year and a half that I’d seen the night face to face…

?Sadly…I am only able to look at nature through dirty curtains hanging before very dusty windows. It’s no pleasure looking through these any longer because nature is one thing that really must be experienced.

Yours,

Anne

親愛的基蒂：

我不知道這是不是因為我太久無法出門的緣故，我變得對一切與大自然有關(guān)的事物都無比狂

熱。我記得非常清楚，以前，湛藍(lán)的天空、鳥兒的歌唱、月光和鮮花，從未令我心迷神往過。自從我來到這里之后，這一切都變了。

??比如說，有一天晚上天氣很暖和，我故意熬到晚上11點(diǎn)半都不睡覺，為的就是能獨(dú)自好好地看看月亮。但是因為月光太亮了，我都不敢打開窗戶。還有一次，就在五個月以前的一個晚上，我碰巧在樓上，窗戶是開著的，我一直呆到非關(guān)窗不可的時候才下樓去。漆黑的雨夜，刮著大風(fēng)，電閃雷鳴，烏云滾滾，我完全被這種景象鎮(zhèn)住了。這是我一年半以來第一次親眼目睹的夜晚??

??不幸的是??我只能透過那滿是灰塵的窗簾下那臟兮兮的窗戶看看大自然。只能隔著窗戶看那大自然實在沒意思，因為大自然是需要真正體驗的東西。

你的安妮

THE ROAD TO MODERN ENGLISH

At the end of the 16th century, about five to seven million people spoke English. Nearly all of them lived in England. Later in the next century, people from England made voyages to conquer other parts of the world and because of that, English began to be spoken in many other countries. Today, more people speak English as their first, second or foreign language than ever before. 通向現(xiàn)代英語之路

在16世紀(jì)末，大約有五至七百萬人講英語。幾乎所有這些講英語的人都住在英格蘭。在其后的一個世紀(jì)中，英格蘭人為征服世界航海到了世界其他一些地方，結(jié)果世界的其他地方的人們也開始說英語了。今天，把英語作為自己的第一語言、第二語言或外語來使用的人比以往任何時候都多。

Native English speakers can understand each other even if they don’t speak the same kind of English. Look at this example:

British Betty: Would you like to see my flat?

American Amy: Yes, I’d like to come up to your apartment.

以英語作為母語的人，即使他們所講不是同一種英語，他們也能彼此聽懂。請看看這個例子： 英國人貝蒂：來看看我的公寓嗎？

美國人艾米：好的，我來看看你的公寓吧。

So why has English changed over time? Actually all languages change and develop when cultures meet and communicate with each other. At first the English spoken in England between about AD 450 and 1150 was very different from the English spoken today. It was based more on German than the English we speak at present. Then gradually between about AD 800 and 1150, English became less like German because those who ruled England spoken first Danish and later French. These new settlers eiched the English language and especially its vocabulary. So by the 1600’s Shakespeare was able to make use of a wider vocabulary than ever before. In 1620 some British settlers moved to America. Later in the 18th century some British people were taken to Australia too. English began to be spoken in both countries.

那么，隨著時間的推移英語為什么發(fā)生了變化呢？實際上，當(dāng)不同文化相互交流滲透時，所有的語言都會有所發(fā)展和變化。開始，英格蘭人在大約公元450年到1150年之間所說的英語與我們今天所說的英語很不一樣。當(dāng)時的英語更多的是以德語為基礎(chǔ)的，不像我們現(xiàn)在說的英語。后來，大約在公元800年至1150年之間，英語慢慢變得不那么像德語，因為統(tǒng)治英格蘭的那些人開始是說丹麥語，(來自:smilezhuce.com 蒲公英文摘:高中英語短文翻譯)后來說法語。這些新來的定居者豐富了英語語言，尤其是豐富了英語詞匯。所以到17世紀(jì)初的時候，莎士比亞能夠得以使用比以往任何時候都豐富的詞匯。1620年一些英國定居者來到了美洲，后來到了18世紀(jì)的時候，一些英國人還被帶到了澳大利亞。英語也就開始在這兩個國家使用。

Finally by the 19th century the language was settled. At that time two big changes in English spelling happened: first Samuel Johnson wrote his dictionary and later Noah Webster wrote The American Dictionary of the English Language. The latter gave a separate identity to American English spelling.

最后到19世紀(jì)的時候，英語這種語言就變得穩(wěn)定了。當(dāng)時，英語的拼寫發(fā)生了兩個很大的變化：先是塞繆爾?約翰遜編寫了他的英語詞典，后是諾亞?韋伯斯特出版了《美國英語詞典》。后者使得美式英語的拼寫有了其獨(dú)特的個性。

English now is also spoken as a foreign or second language in South Asia. For example, India has a very large number of fluent English speakers because Britain ruled India from 1765 to 1947. During that time English became the language for government and education. English is also spoken in Singapore and Malaysia and countries in Africa such as South Africa. Today the number of people learning English in China is increasing rapidly. In fact, China may have the largest number of English learners. Will Chinese English develop its own identity? Only time will tell.

現(xiàn)在英語在南亞地區(qū)也被作為外語或第二語言使用。比如，印度就有很多人說英語說得很流利，因為在1765年到1947年之間英國統(tǒng)治著印度。在此期間，英語成了印度政府和教育所用的語言。在新加坡和馬來西亞以及像非洲的南非，人們現(xiàn)在也說英語。當(dāng)今，在中國學(xué)英語的人數(shù)正在快速增加，事實上，中國可能是學(xué)英語人數(shù)最多的國家。中國式英語是否也能發(fā)展成一種具有自己獨(dú)特個性的語言？這還有待時間去證明。

STANDARD ENGLISH AND DIALECTS

What is standard English? Is it spoken in Britain, the US, Canada, Australia, India and New Zealand? Believe it or not, there is no such thing as standard English. Many people believe the English spoken on TV and the radio is standard English. This is because in the early days of radio, those who reported the news were expected to speak excellent English. However, on TV and the radio you will hear differences in the way people speak. When people use words and expressions different form “standard language”, it is called a dialect. American English has many dialects, especially the midwestern, southern, African American and Spanish dialects. Even in some parts of the USA, two people from neighbouring towns speak a little differently. American English has so many dialects because people have come from all over the world.

Geography also plays a part in making dialects. Some people who live in the mountains of the eastern USA speak with an older kind of English dialect. When Americans moved form one place to another, they took their dialects with them. So people from the mountains in the southeastern USA speak with almost the same dialect as people in the northwestern USA. The USA is a large country in which many different dialects are spoken. Although many Americans move a lot, they still recognize and understand each other’s dialects.

什么是標(biāo)準(zhǔn)英語？是在英國、美國、加拿大、澳大利亞、印度、新西蘭所說的英語嗎？信不信由你，（世界上）沒有什么標(biāo)準(zhǔn)英語。許多人認(rèn)為，電視和收音機(jī)里所說的英語就是標(biāo)準(zhǔn)英語，這是因為在早期的電臺節(jié)目里，人們期望新聞播音員所說的英語是最好的英語。然而，

When people use words and expressions different from “standard language”, it is called a dialect.當(dāng)人們用不同于“標(biāo)準(zhǔn)語言”的詞語時，那就叫做方言。American English has many dialects, especially the midwestern, southern, African American and Spanish dialects.美國英語有許多方言，特別是中西部和南部地區(qū)的方言，以及黑人和西班牙人的方言。Even in some parts of the USA, two people from neighbouring towns speak a little differently.在美國有些地區(qū)，即使是相鄰城鎮(zhèn)的兩個人所說的語言都可能稍有不同。American English has so many dialects because people have come from all over the world.美國英語之所以有這么

沿湄公河而下的旅程

PART 1 THE DREAM AND THE PLAN第一部分夢想與計劃

My name is Wang Kun. Ever since middle school, my sister Wang Wei and I have dreamed about taking a great bike trip.我的名字叫王坤。從高中起，我姐姐王薇和我就一直夢想作一次偉大的自行車旅行。Two years ago she bought an expensive mountain bike and then she persuaded me to buy one.兩年前，她買了一輛昂貴的山地自行車，然后還說服我買了一輛（山地車）。Last year, she visited our cousins, Dao Wei and Yu Hang at their college in Kunming.去年她去看望了我們的表兄弟——在昆明讀大學(xué)的刀衛(wèi)和宇航。They are Dai and grew up in western Yunnan Province near the Lancang River, the Chinese part of the river that is called the Mekong River in other countries.他們是傣族人，在云南省西部靠近瀾滄江的地方長大，湄公河在中國境內(nèi)的這一段叫瀾滄江，在其他國家（境內(nèi)）叫湄公河。Wang Wei soon got them interested in cycling too.很快，王薇使表兄弟也對騎車旅游產(chǎn)生了興趣。After graduating from college, we finally got the chance to take a bike trip.大學(xué)畢業(yè)以后，我們終于有了機(jī)會騎自行車旅行。I asked my sister, "Where are we going?"我問我姐姐：“我們要去哪兒？” It was my sister who first had the idea to cycle along the entire Mekong River from where it begins to where it ends.首先想到要沿湄公河從源頭到終點(diǎn)騎車旅游的是我的姐姐。Now she is planning our schedule for the trip.現(xiàn)在她正在為我們的旅行制定計劃。

I am fond of my sister but she has one serious shortcoming. She can be really stubborn.我很喜歡我姐姐，但是她有一個很嚴(yán)重的缺點(diǎn)。她有時確實很固執(zhí)。Although she didn't know the best way of getting to places, she insisted that she organize the trip properly.盡管她對去某些地方的最佳路線并不清楚，她卻堅持要自己把這次旅游安排得盡善盡美。Now, I know that the proper way is always her way.于是，我就知道這個盡善盡美的方式總是她的方式。I kept asking her, "When are we leaving and when are we coming back?" I asked her whether she had looked at a map yet.我不停地問她，“我們什么時候出發(fā)？什么時候回來？”我還問她是否看過地圖。Of course, she hadn't; my sister doesn't care about details.當(dāng)然她并沒有看過——我的姐姐是不會考慮細(xì)節(jié)的。So I told her that the source of the Mekong is in Qinghai Province.于是，我告訴她，湄公河的源頭在青海省。She gave me a determined look—the kind that said she would not change her mind.她給了我一個堅定的眼神——這種眼神表明她是不會改變主意的。When I told her that our journey would begin at an altitude of more than 5,000 metres, she seemed to be excited about it.我說，我們的旅行將從5, 000多米的高地出發(fā)，這時她似乎顯得很興奮。When I told her the air would be hard

to breathe and it would be very cold, she said it would be an interesting experience.當(dāng)我告訴她那里空氣稀薄，呼吸困難，而且天氣很冷時，她卻說這將是一次有趣的經(jīng)歷。I know my sister well. Once she has made up her mind, nothing can change it. Finally, I had to give in.我非常了解我的姐姐，她一旦下了決心，什么也不能使她改變。最后，我只好讓步了。 Several months before our trip, Wang Wei and I went to the library.在我們旅行前的幾個月，王薇和我去了圖書館。We found a large atlas with good maps that showed details of world geography.我們找到一本大型地圖冊，里面有一些世界地理的明細(xì)圖。From the atlas we could see that the Mekong River begins in a glacier on a Tibetan mountain.我們從圖上可以看到，湄公河發(fā)源于西藏一座山上的冰川。At first the river is small and the water is clear and cold. Then it begins to move quickly.起初，江面很小，河水清澈而冷冽，然后它開始快速流動。It becomes rapids as it passes through deep valleys, travelling across western Yunnan Province.它穿過深谷時就變成了急流，流經(jīng)云南西部。Sometimes the river becomes a waterfall and enters wide valleys.有時，這條江形成瀑布，進(jìn)入寬闊的峽谷。We were both surprised to learn that half of the river is in China.我們倆驚奇地發(fā)現(xiàn)這條河有一半是在中國境內(nèi)。After it leaves China and the high altitude, the Mekong becomes wide, brown and warm.當(dāng)流出中國，流出高地之后，湄公河就變寬了，變暖了，河水也變成了黃褐色。As it enters Southeast Asia, its pace slows. It makes wide bends or meanders through low valleys to the plains where rice grows.而當(dāng)它進(jìn)入東南亞以后，流速減緩，河水蜿蜒緩慢地穿過低谷，流向生長稻谷的平原。At last, the river delta enters the South China Sea.最后，湄公河三角洲的各支流流入中國南海。

高中英語短文翻譯篇三：高中英語閱讀理解(附答案、解析、翻譯)[1]1

Passage 1

There are stories about two U．S . presidents，Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren，which attempt to explain the American English term OK．We don?t know if either story is true，but they are both interesting．The first explanation is based on the fact that President Jackson had very little education．In fact，he had difficulty reading and writing．When important papers came to Jackson，he tried to read them and then had his assistants explain what they said．If he approved of a paper．he would write“all correct”on it．The problem was that he didn?t know how to spell．So what he really wrote was“ol korekt”．After a while，he shortened that term to“OK”．

The second explanation is based on the place where President Van Buren was born，Kinderhook，New York．Van Ben?s friends organized a club to help him become President They caned the club the Old Kinderhook Club，and anyone who supported Van Buren was called“OK”．

Passage 2

Although the United States covers so much land and the land produces far more food than the present population needs，its people are by now almost entirely an urban society Less than a tenth of the people are engaged in agriculture and forestry(林業(yè))，and most of the rest live in or around towns，small and large．Here the traditional picture is changing：every small town may still be very like other small towns，and the typical small town may represent a widely accepted view of the country，but most Americans do not live in small towns any more．Half the population now lives in some thirty metropolitan areas(1arge cities with their suburbs、of more than a million people each—a larger proportion than in Germany or England，let alone France．The statistics(統(tǒng)計)of urban and rural population should be treated with caution because so many people who live in areas classified as rural travel by car to work in a nearby town each day．As the rush to live out of town continues．rural areas within reach of towns are gradually filled with houses，so that it is hard to say at what moment a piece of country becomes a suburb But more and more the typical American lives in a metropolitan rather than a small town environment．

36．If now America has 250 million people．how many of them are engaged in agriculture and forestry?

A．About 25 million． B．More than 25 million．

C．Less than 25 million．D. Less than 225 million

C．As the traditional picture is changing，towns are different． D .Small towns are turning into large cities

40．Why is it hard to say when a piece of country becomes a suburb?

A．Because they are the same． B．Because the rush takes place too quickly

C．Because the process is gradual． D．Because more and more Americans live in metropolitan areas．

Passage 3

If we were asked exactly what we were doing a year ago，we should probably have to say that we could not remember But if we had kept a book and had written in it an account of what we did each day，we should be able to give an answer to the question.

It is the same in history Many things have been forgotten because we do not have any written account of them Sometimes men did keep a record of the most important happenings in their country，but often it was destroyed by fire or in a war．Sometimes there was never any written record at all because the people of that time and place did not know how to Write．For example，we know a good deal about the people who lived in China 4，000 years ago, because they could write and leave written records for those who lived after them．But we know almost nothing about the people who lived even 200 years ago in central Africa． because they had not learned to write．

Sometimes．of course，even if the people cannot write，they may know something of the past．They have heard about it from older people，and often songs and dances and stories have been made about the most important happenings，and these have been sung and acted and told for many generations For most people are proud to tell what their fathers did in the past．This we may call ?remembered history’．Some of it has now been written down. It is not so exact or so valuable to us as written history is，because words are much more easily changed when used again and again in speech than when copied in writing．But where there are no written records，such spoken stories are often very helpful．

41. Which of the following ideas is not suggested in the passage?

A．“Remembered history”，compared with written history，is less reliable

B．Written records of the past play the most important role in our learning of the human history．

C．A written account of our daily activities helps US to be able to answer many questions．

D．Where there are no written records．there is no history．

B .the people there ignored the importance of keeping a record

C．the written records were perhaps destroyed by a fire

43．“Remembered history”refers to ___．

A．history based on a person?s imagination

B .stories of important happenings passed down from mouth to mouth

C .songs and dances about the most important events

D .both B and C

44．“Remembered history”is regarded as valuable only when ____.

A. it is written down B .no written account is available

C．it proves to be timeD．people are interested in it

45 .The passage suggests that we could have learned much more about our past than we

Passage4

When Mrs．Joseph Groeger died recently in Vienna，Austria，people asked the obvious，“Why did she live to be 107?”Answers were provided by a survey conducted among 148 Viennese men and women who had reached the age of 100．Somewhat surprising was the fact that the majority had lived most of their lives in cities．In spite of the city’s image as an unhealthy place，city living often provides benefits that country living can lack．One factor seems to be important to the longevity(長壽)of those interviewed．

This factor is exercise．in the cities it is often faster to walk short distances than to wait for a bus．Even taking public transportation often requires some walking．Smaller apartment houses have no elevators(電梯)，and so people must climb stairs．City people can usually walk to local supermarkets Since parking spaces are hard to find，there is often no alternative to walking．

On the other hand，those who live in the country and suburbs do not have to walk every day．In fact，the opposite is often true．To go to school，work，or almost anywhere else，they must ride in cars．

31．The Vienna survey may help to explain _____

A．the complaints of people in apartment houses B．the cause of Mrs Groeger?s death

C．the longevity of people like Mrs．Groeger D. the image of cities in general

32．The purpose of the second paragraph is to list some _____

A．benefits of walking B．occasions for walking in city life

C. comments made by city people D．problems of city living

33．To reach the third floor of a building．it would probably be most healthful __

A. to take the elevator B．to walk up the stairsC．to ride in a car D．to find an alternative to walking

34．People who live in the country probably do more driving than walking because __

A．they don?t live near business areas B. they don?t need the exercise

C．they never have parking problems D．they can’t afford to take the bus

35．

A．a(chǎn)ir pollution is not serious B．a(chǎn)nyone can live to be 107

C．country people should move to the city D．walking is a healthful exercise

Passage 5

For any Englishman，there can never be any discussion as to who is the world?s greatest dramatist(劇作家)．Only one name can possibly suggest itself to him：that of William Shakespeare Every Englishman has some knowledge，however slight，of the work of our greatest writer．All of US use words，phrases and quotations from Shakespeare?s writings that have become part of the common property of the English-speaking people．Most of the time we are probably unaware of the source of the words we used，rather like the old lady who was taken to see a performance of Hamlet and complained that it was full of well—known proverbs and quotations．

Shakespeare，more perhaps than any other writer，makes full use of the great resources of the English language．Most of US use about five thousand words in our normal use of English；Shakespeare in his works used about twenty-five thousand．

There is probably no better way for a foreigner to appreciate the richness and variety of the English language than by studying the various ways in which Shakespeare used it．Such a study is well worth the effort(it is not，of course，recommended to beginners)even though some aspects of English usage，and the meaning of many words，have changed since Shakespeare?s day．

36. English people ______

A．have never discussed who is the world?s greatest dramatist

C. English words are now being used in the same way as in Shakespeare?s time

D. Beginners may have difficulty learning some aspects of English usage

Passage 6

Trees are useful to man in three very important ways：they provide him wood and other products；they give him shade；and they help to prevent drought(干旱)and floods．

Unfortunately，in many parts of the world，man has not realized that the third of these services is the most important．In his eagerness to draw quick profit from the trees，he has cut them down in large numbers

Two thousand years ago，a rich and powerful country cut down its trees to build warships，with which to gain itself an empire It gained the empire but，without its trees，its soil became bare and poor．When the empire fell to pieces，the country found itself faced by floods and starvation．

Even where a government realizes the importance of a plentiful supply of trees，it is difficult sometimes to make the people realize this．They cut down the trees but are too careless to plant and look after new trees So，unless the government has a good system of control，or can educate the people，the forests slowly disappear

This does not only mean that there will be fewer trees．The results are even more serious：for where there are trees，their roots break the soil up，allowing the rain to sink in， and also bind the soil．This prevents the soil from being washed away．But where there are no trees，the rainfalls on hard ground and flows away on the surface，and this causes floods and the rain carries away the rich topsoil in which crops grow When a11 the topsoil is gone．nothing remains but worthless desert．

41．Trees are useful to man mainly in three ways，the most important of which is that they can ____

A. keep him from the hot sunshine B．enable him to build warships

C．make him draw quick profit from themD .protect him from droughts and floods

42．It’s a great pity that ____

A．man is only interested in building empiresB．man is eager to profit from trees

C．man hasn?t realized the importance of trees to himD. man hasn?t found out that he has lost all trees

43．Sooner or later the forests will disappear ______．

A. unless a country has a plenty supply of trees B．unless people stop cutting down their trees

C．unless aIl people are taught the importance of planting trees

D．unless the government punishes those who cut trees instead of planting them

44．The word“bind”in Paragraph 5 means“_____”

A．to wash awayB．to make wet C．to make stay togetherD．to improve

45. When there is a heavy rain．trees can help to prevent floods．A．keep rain from falling down to soft ground B，cause the soil to allow rainwater to sink in

C．prevent the soil from being washed away D .make the topsoil stick together

Passage 7

Some of the notebooks George Washington kept as a young man are still in existence． They show that he was learning Latin，was very interested in the basics of good behavior in society，and was reading English literature．

At school he seems only to have been interested in mathematics．In fact，his formal education was surprisingly brief for a gentleman，and incomplete For unlike other young Virginian of that day，he did not go to the College of William and Mary in the Virginian capital of Williamsburg．In terms of formal training then，Washington contrasts sharply with some other early American Presidents such as John Adams，Thomas Jefferson and James Madison．In later years，Washington probably regretted his lack of intellectual training He never felt comfortable in a debate in Congress(國會)，or on any Subject that had not to do with everyday，practical matters And because he never learned French and could not speak directly to the French leaders，he did not visit the country he admired SO much．Thus，unlike Jefferson and Adams，he never reached Europe

31．Why didn? A．His family could not afford it．B A college education was rather uncommon in his time．
