2019新人教高一英语必修二 课本听力与视频材料文本 (精校打印版 Unit 1 Cultural Heritage Listening and Speaking Reporter: Hello. What are you guys doing? Stephanie: We’re creating an app about Mount Tai. We’re part of an international youth project. Reporter: That's interesting. How many students are taking part in< class='_1'>< class='_1'>< class='_1'>< class='_1'> the project? Stephanie: There are 23 senior high school students from seven countries. Reporter: Why is the project here at Mount Tai? Liu Bin: Well, as you know, Mount Tai is one of the most famous mountains in China. The mountain and the temples have been protected for over 3,000 years, so it's a great example of how people preserve their cultural heritage. We feel so proud to have chance to do< class='_1'>< class='_1'>< class='_1'>< class='_1'> something. Reporter: Tell me about the app you're making. Liu Bin: We want to promote< class='_1'>< class='_1'>< class='_1'>< class='_1'> Mount Tai; that is, we want to tell teenagers in other countries about the mountain and Chinese culture. The app teaches teenagers about Mount Tai and even has a few games about cultural relics. Reporter: Oh, that’s a clever idea. Stephanie: Yes. For example, this game is about the six cypresses that were planted on Mount Tai during the Han Dynasty. You learn about the trees and also the life in China over 2,000 years ago. Reporter: That sounds great! So what else will you put in the app? Liu Bin: Well, there are 22 temples and some 1, 800 stones with writing on them. We’ll take photos of < class='_1'>< class='_1'>< class='_1'>< class='_1'>them all, and then visit the Dai Temple on Mount Tai, since it has so many important paintings and relics. Another group is reading about Mount Tai and writing texts for the app. We’ll also visit local schools and talk to Chinese students. Reporter: Do you think that some people will use the app instead of< class='_1'>< class='_1'>< class='_1'>< class='_1'> visiting Mount Tai? Liu Bin: No, not a chance! The app is great, but the best way to see Mount Tai is to climb all 6,000 steps! Reporter: What?! How many steps? Liu Bin Stephanie: More than 6,000! Listening and Talking [Street sounds from Red Square.] [] Tour guide: OK, here we are: the Kremlin and Red Square. Tourist 1: Excuse me, but what is the Kremlin exactly? Tour guide: The Kremlin is a special government area. Inside, there are five palaces and four cathedrals. It's where the president lives, too. Tourist 1: Wow... a little bit like the Palace Museum in Beijing. Tour guide: Yes. I guess you could say that. The Kremlin was actually built around the same time, between the 14th and 17th centuries. 1 < class='_1'>< class='_1'>< class='_1'>< class='_1'>
Tourist 1: What's that building over there, with the colourful round towers? I’ve seen so many photos of it. It looks so pretty, like a flame! Tour guide: That’s Saint Basil, s Cathedral. People all over the world think of Russia when they see it. It's like the Eiffel Tower in France or the Great Wall in China, a symbol of the country. Tourist 2: Forgive me for asking,< class='_1'>< class='_1'>< class='_1'>< class='_1'>< class='_1'>< class='_1'>< class='_1'>< class='_1'> but can you tell me more about Red Square? Tour guide: Well, it's considered the centre of Moscow, and there have been many important parades and events held here. It also used to be a marketplace a long time ago. Tourist 2: Oh, really? How amazing! Tour guide: I see that you're looking at the photos of an ice hockey game. Did you know that children can skate on Red Square in the winter? Tourist 2: No way< class='_1'>< class='_1'>< class='_1'>< class='_1'>! That's so cool Tour guide: Yes. Red Square is also a place for music concerts. People have a lot of fun < class='_1'>< class='_1'>< class='_1'>< class='_1'>here. Video Time The Great Wall Narrator: The Great Wall winds through vast mountains, sometimes visible, sometimes hidden. Once a great project that underwent 23 centuries of construction, many sections of it have now fallen into ruin< class='_1'>< class='_1'>< class='_1'>< class='_1'>< class='_1'>< class='_1'>< class='_1'>< class='_1'> or even disappeared without a trace, depending on< class='_1'>< class='_1'>< class='_1'>< class='_1'> when they were built. Each section of the Great Wall records its transformation through the years and has incomparable historical value. This section of the wall is not far from the famous Badaling Great Wall. Mr Mei Jingtian has walked this six-kilometre mountain path for 30 years. Weeds not only affect the wall's image, but will also speed up < class='_1'>< class='_1'>< class='_1'>< class='_1'>< class='_1'>< class='_1'>< class='_1'>< class='_1'>< class='_1'>< class='_1'>< class='_1'>< class='_1'>its collapse, as their roots grow into the cracks in the bricks. These past 30 years, Mr Mei Jingtian has been pulling weeds throughout this section of the Great Wall. After six long years of hard work by surveyors and archaeologists, in 2012, the State Administration of Cultural Heritage in China announced the final data that the total length of the Great Wall of China is 21, 196.18 kilometres. This is equivalent to the distance between the North and South Poles on the earths surface. This is clearly an astonishing figure, for it is four times longer than what has been described in the textbooks of China as the "Wanli Changcheng (10,000-mile Long Wall of the Qin Dynasty. Since 2006, Mr Mei, together with surveyors and archaeological experts, has been measuring this section of the Great Wall. This, obviously, is a tough but fun task. For the last 30 years, this ordinary elderly man has been taking care of < class='_1'>< class='_1'>< class='_1'>< class='_1'>the Great Wall in his own simple manner. Visitor: Hi! How often do you come here? Volunteers: Hey Volunteers 1: We are volunteers and we usually come here once a month. Volunteers 2: Yes, but when we are not busy with school, we come here once every two weeks< class='_1'>< class='_1'>< class='_1'>< class='_1'>< class='_1'>< class='_1'>< class='_1'>< class='_1'>< class='_1'>< class='_1'>< class='_1'>< class='_1'>. Visitor: Thank you so much for what you're doing. For all the international people like me this is a beautiful wall for all these years. Volunteers 3: Oh, you're doing a great iob! 2
Volunteers 4: Great Volunteers 5: Wonderful! Volunteers 1: It is a different feeling each time we are here. We hope more people will protect our cultural heritage Volunteers 2: We need to protect the Great Wall, so we can present it to the future generations and let our cultural imprint live on. Narrator: With the participation of more volunteers, the area around the Great Wall has gradually become more natural and peaceful. Each time< class='_1'>< class='_1'>< class='_1'>< class='_1'> we approach the Great Wall, without touching it, we can feel the memories and strong emotions from the ancient times. Unit 2 Wildlife Protection Listening and Speaking LISTENING PART 1 A: Have you seen that poster with the clock? It's so good, but a little scary, too. B: I know. So many wild animals are dying out. This poster says that between 150 and 200 species die out< class='_1'>< class='_1'>< class='_1'>< class='_1'>< class='_1'>< class='_1'>< class='_1'>< class='_1'> every day. A: That' s terrible. We really need to do something. Why are so many species dying? B: Well, some animals are being hunted and killed. And then there’s pollution and habitat loss, I guess. Animals need a place to live in, just like us, and they need clean air and water, too. A: It seems like< class='_1'>< class='_1'>< class='_1'>< class='_1'> people need to be more aware B: Absolutely. More people need to know. A: Yes, they should make more of these posters-maybe it will help protect the wildlife LISTENING PART 2 Someone has to speak up< class='_1'>< class='_1'>< class='_1'>< class='_1'> for endangered animals. Some famous people, such as Chinese superstar Yao Ming and Britain’s Prince William, work hard to help. In October 2015, Prince William gave a moving speech on CCTV: "In the 33 years since I was born, we’ve lost around 70 percent of Africa’s elephant population. Of those that are left, 20,000 are killed every year. That is 54 elephants killed every single day. " That means there are elephants which are being killed right now! In his speech, Prince William also praised China’s efforts to protect wildlife: "I am absolutely convinced that China can become a global leader in the protection of wildlife. You don’t have to be Prince William or Yao Ming to speak up and do something about endangered animals. You can be the voice of wildlife protection in your area. Remember: Change begins with< class='_1'>< class='_1'>< class='_1'>< class='_1'> you. Listening and Talking Narrator: It's 5: 00 a m. on a Saturday morning and some teenagers have gathered in the Qinling Mountains. They got up early so as to search for wild birds. A: OK, is everybody ready? Do you have all the equipment? 3
B: C: A: I've brought a bird field guide so that < class='_1'>< class='_1'>< class='_1'>< class='_1'>we can look up the birds we see. It's a really good field guide. It's got descriptions of all the main types of birds, and even a CD with lots of birdsong. Great! My dad gave me these binoculars in order that we can see the birds better. They’< class='_1'>< class='_1'>< class='_1'>< class='_1'>re really powerful. Cool, so let’s go. [Soft footsteps as they walk away.] A: Shh... Do you hear that [Birdsong. ] B: C: B: I think that’s a… Give me the binoculars! What can you see? Yes, there it is! Wow, it's a… [fade out. ] Narrator: Birdwatching is an interesting hobby that you can do anywhere. The Qinling Mountains are one of the best birdwatching sites in China, but you can also find many species in your local park. Birdwatching clubs clean up < class='_1'>< class='_1'>< class='_1'>< class='_1'>habitats, build bird feeders, and put paper cut-outs on windows in order to protect birds. *Video Time The Elephant Whisperers [Text graphic on-screen.] A special program in Kenya rescues orphaned elephants. Workers in the program raise the elephants until they can return to the wild. [Mishak Naimbi, Elephant Keeper. ] “Elephants are... are like humans. If you love them, they will love you too. They live on Zahim because they don't have their mothers. Their mothers have been killed by people. Others have been (pausedied because of no food, not food for them-others because of diseases” The elephants wake up at < class='_1'>< class='_1'>< class='_1'>< class='_1'>5: 30 a m. every day. The keepers then lead them to the forest. They feed hem and play with them. Elephants... they love each other, yah. They are like... Like, our elephants here, they are not from the same area. They are from the whole country. But when they come here, they make friends. They learn to survive together. “We take the elephants to the bush” Keepers stay with the elephants in their native environment, also known as “the bush.” “We stay with them because we have to feed them every 3 hours, day and night. Because the elephants——when they come they don’t have their mothers, and we have to do the work that their mothers do. We have to sleep with them… because when we leave them alone, they cry.” How have you cared for< class='_1'>< class='_1'>< class='_1'>< class='_1'> animals? 4
Unit 3 The Internet Listening and Speaking Sam: Hi, guys! I'd like to ask you some questions about your online habits. First, how much time do you spend online every day? Anna? Anna: It depends. I'd say two or three hours Sam: How about you. Paul? Paul: Oh, maybe about two hours. Sometimes more. What about you, Joe? Joe: Well, I think I spend at least an hour every day. Sam: What do you usually do online, Joe? Joe: I have a blog. It's like an online diary where you write about something you’ re interested in. For example< class='_1'>< class='_1'>< class='_1'>< class='_1'>< class='_1'>< class='_1'>< class='_1'>< class='_1'>, I like basketball, so I write a lot on my blog about my favourite team. It's fun. Anna: I like to stream videos and music. That is. I watch videos and listen to music online. It's cheap and easy. Sometimes I look up information, too. With the Internet, I can also chat with my friends anytime, anywhere. Paul: I usually use a search engine to do my homework. A search engine is a tool that helps you find what you're looking for. With it, I can find all the information, videos, and pictures that I need for my homework. It's so helpful. Sam: Great. It seems like you all use the Internet every day. So what do you think life would be like without the Internet? Joe: No Internet?! Are you kidding? Life would be over!. Listening and Talking Laura: Hey Xiao Bo, what's up? Xiao Bo: Hi, Laura. Not much. I’m trying to get in shape, so I’m looking for an exercise app. Laura: Oh yeah? Found anything? Xiao Bo: Well, there’s an app that counts every step you take during the day. It might help me walk more, but I don’t think it’d be enough. Here’s another one. It keeps track of how much you exercise and what you eat. It also helps you make a fitness plan. I imagine this app would help me get fit faster. Laura: I wish there were an app for getting rich. Xiao Bo: Ha-ha, well, there are apps for saving money. Laura: Really? Xiao Bo: Yes, sure. Look at this one. It helps you find discounts and the best price for whatever you’ re looking. Laura: I suppose that’d be good but I need an app that adds some oink to my piggy bank. Xiao Bo: Oink to your piggy bank? What does that mean? Laura: Ha-ha, sorry! I mean I want to add some money to my savings. Xiao Bo: Oh, I see, a piggy app. Ha-ha! How about this one? Every time you pay for something with your phone, it puts a little money into a bank account, just a few yuan-you wouldn't miss it. I guess you could save a little with this app. 5
Laura: Cool. Great idea! I' m good at spending. Now all I need is an app that l make my grades better. Xiao Bo: Well, perhaps this app... *Video Time Social Media and Teen Health Like most teenagers, much of the socializing these students at Blackburn College do is online. "And then you realise, oh no, it's 2 o'clock in the morning and I've got an exam...” But the British Psychological Society has raised concerns that late nights spent maintaining social media profiles could be detrimental to their health. “Most people use social media nowadays so it's very easy to become too invested in having to keep updating and liking pictures, and responding to people online.” “Many people post pictures of themselves which can quite easily not peak people’s confidence.” “Seeing posts of people and like, their lives, and comparing your life to other people’s lives, and maybe it's not as exciting or not as successful and it might put yourself down.” Researchers think that it's not just the lack of sleep caused by late nights online that are causing these issues but
