Journey to the Center of the Earth by Jules Verne 单词提示 1.alligator 鳄鱼 原文 Chapter 6: An Underground Water-World When I opened my eyes, I heard the sound of the sea. The sun was high in the sky. But this was not possible! We were under the ground! My uncle stood over me. "He's OK, Hans." I saw Hans smile. My head hurt. I touched it and I felt a bandage on it. I tried to speak, but it was difficult. "Where are we?" "Don't speak, Axel. You had a terrible fall. We heard you screaming. We were in a tunnel next to yours. Luckily, the two channels came out here, on this beach." My uncle sat down next to me and spoke with more excitement in his voice. "Axel,we found an underground sea. There are trees here and the bones of animals that lived thousands of years ago. When you get better, we are sailing across this sea. Oh Axel, you can't imagine how happy I am!" I could not move much for two days. I heard Hans building a boat for us to sail in,but I could not understand how there was light. The professor explained this to me. "It is a mystery, like so many things, but it is something like electricity coming from the heat of these rocks. We are inside something like a giant cave. The top of it is a few miles high. There are even clouds because of the water." I looked up and saw the clouds. I could not see the top of this cave, but it was difficult to believe that all of this was under the earth. When I felt strong again, I took a walk along the beach. There were shells there from a time before man walked on the earth. I saw the bones of something which looked like a huge elephant. I thought, 'Can things live under the earth? Are there any animals alive down here?' The boat was ready and we were ready to sail. We left the beach and a strong wind pushed us quickly out to sea. After a few hours on this strange sea, Hans tied the pickaxe to a rope and threw it into the water. The professor wanted to know how deep the sea was. It never touched the bottom. When Hans pulled it back into the boat, its metal head looked different. There were large marks on it. "What's that?" Hans looked at it closely. "Teeth." Teeth?Could something so big live in these waters? The professor looked at his compass. "We are travelling south. If I am right, we left Iceland when we went under the volcano. We travelled under the Atlantic Ocean and now we are under Scotland." "That's fantastic!" "But we're still not going down. I want to go further down!" Suddenly,there were huge waves rocking the boat. "What's happening?" Hans pointed to something dark about a mile away from us. It came closer and I thought I saw a giant dolphin. I was wrong. It was an alligator. It came closer and I saw that I was wrong again. It was something with the body of a dolphin and the head of an alligator. It was over one hundred feet long. Then,I saw a huge snake with a shell on its back like a turtle's. We took the guns in our hands, but the animals did not care about us. They fought each other. It was a horrible fight. We heard the snake hissing and the dolphin screaming. They both dove under the water. Everything was quiet. Then,the snake's head came out of the water. It hissed one more time before it died in the water. 翻译 第六章：地下水世界 当我睁开眼睛时，我听到了大海的声音。 太阳高高地挂在天上。 但这是不可能的！ 我们在地下！ 我叔叔站在我旁边。“他没事，汉斯。” 我看见汉斯笑了。 我的头很痛。 我摸了摸它，感觉上面有绷带。 我试着说话，但说不出来。 “我们在哪儿？” “别说话，阿克塞尔。你摔得很惨。我们听到你在尖叫。我们在你旁边的隧道里。幸运的是，两个通道在这里，在这个海滩上出现了。” 叔叔在我旁边坐下，说话的声音更激动了。 “阿克塞尔，我们发现了一个地下海洋。这里有树，还有几千年前的动物骨头。等你病好了，我们就在这片大海上航行。哦，阿克塞尔，你无法想象我有多高兴！” 整整两天我都动弹不得。我听到汉斯在造一艘船，让我们坐着航行，但我不明白怎么会有光。 教授向我解释了这一点。 “这是一个谜，就像很多事情一样，但它有点像来自这些岩石的热量的电。我们在一个巨大的洞穴里。它的顶部有几英里高。因为有水，甚至有云。” 我抬头看到了云。 我看不见这个洞穴的顶部，但很难相信这一切都在地下。 当我再次感到精力充沛时，我沿着海滩散步。 那里有人类在地球上行走之前的贝壳。 我看到了像大象一样的东西的骨头。 我想，‘东西能在地下生活吗？下面还有活着的动物吗？” 船准备好了，我们也准备出航了。 我们离开了海滩，一阵强风把我们迅速推向大海。 在这片陌生的海面上呆了几个小时后，汉斯把鹤嘴锄系在绳子上，扔进了水里。 教授想知道海有多深。 它从未触底。 当汉斯把它拉回船上时，它的金属头看起来不一样了。 上面有很大的痕迹。 “那是什么?”汉斯仔细地看了看。 “牙齿”。 牙齿吗?这么大的生物会生活在这片水域吗？ 教授看了看他的指南针。 “我们往南走。如果我没猜错的话，我们是在火山下离开冰岛的。我们在大西洋下面旅行，现在我们在苏格兰下面。” “那太棒了!” “但我们仍然没有下降。我想再往下走！” 突然，巨浪把船摇了起来。 “发生了什么?” 汉斯指着离我们一英里远的一个黑乎乎的东西。 它靠近了，我想我看到了一只巨大的海豚。 我错了。那是一只短吻鳄。 它走近了，我发现我又错了。 这是一个海豚身体和鳄鱼头的东西。 它有一百多英尺长。 然后，我看到一条巨大的蛇，背上有一个像乌龟一样的壳。 我们把枪拿在手里，但动物们并不在乎我们。 他们互相争斗。那是一场可怕的战斗。 我们听到蛇的嘶嘶声和海豚的尖叫。 他们俩都潜入水中。 一切都很安静。 然后，蛇的头从水里出来了。 在它死在水里之前，它又发出了嘶嘶声。

Journey to the Center of the Earth by Jules Verne 单词提示 1.tunnel 隧道 2.torches 火把 3.pickaxe 镐 原文 Chapter 5: Lost in the Tunnels We put our rope through holes in the rocks on the sides of the walls, then climbed down. Hans went first, then my uncle, then me. Every two hundred feet, we found a flat rock to stop on. We pulled the rope down from above us, tied it to a new rock, then started again. We did this for almost ten hours. We travelled 2,000 feet down. Finally,Hans said something. "Stop!" It was only one word, but it was nice to finally hear his voice. "What happened?" "We're at the bottom." The professor and I looked at him. "Of what?" "I don't know." There was a turn in the hole. There was an open area like a cave at the bottom of the hole, which continued to the right. Our bags were there. After ten hours of climbing down, we were very tired. We decided to spend the night there. In the morning, we continued our journey down. The hole now opened and looked more like a tunnel. We did not need to climb because we could walk down this tunnel. We used our torches, so we could see the rock on the walls clearly. It looked like glass of different colors. Some of it was red, some was brown, and some was yellow. My uncle saw me looking at it. "That's from the lava." "It's beautiful." "So,you're starting to enjoy our journey. There's more to see. Come along." We walked for two more days and we found other tunnels. There were tunnels everywhere, but we did not know which was the right one. Unluckily,our water finished. "Now,what are we going to do?" "We're going to find a spring. There are many, but we have to go down further." I could not move. I was very tired and thirsty and thinking of Grauben. "Uncle,I can't go on." "Axel,please. We are going to find water." "Water!"It was Hans' voice. "What did you say?" "Water!"There was a loud sound behind the wall next to us. It sounded like the water of a river. Hans took a pickaxe and made a hole in the wall. Water came out onto the floor around us. "It old you, Axel. Water! Ow! It's hot. Don't touch it. It needs air. We're too far underground." The water was cold enough to drink after a few minutes and we all felt strong again. We continued our journey but I made a serious mistake. I was very excited about finding the water and I went first. I walked too far in front of the others and I got lost. I tried to go back, but I could not find them. I shouted their names. "Uncle!Hans!" I could only hear my own voice in the tunnel. I was afraid. I ran. Then I fell. I fell through the air down along tunnel. Then I hit my head and everything went black around me. 翻译 第五章：在隧道里迷路 我们把绳子穿过墙边岩石上的洞，然后往下爬。 汉斯先去，然后是我叔叔，最后是我。 每隔200英尺，我们就找一块平坦的岩石停下来。 我们把绳子从头上拉下来，把它系在一块新的岩石上，然后又开始了。 我们这样做了将近10个小时。 我们向下飞行了2000英尺。 最后，汉斯说了些什么。“住手!” 虽然只有一个词，但终于听到了他的声音，感觉很好。 “发生什么事了?” “我们在最底层。” 教授和我看着他。 “什么底部?” “我不知道。” 洞里有个转弯。 在洞的底部有一块像洞穴一样的空地，一直延伸到右边。 我们的行李在那里。 爬了十个小时下来，我们都很累了。 我们决定在那里过夜。 早上，我们继续下山的旅程。 这个洞现在打开了，看起来更像一条隧道。 我们不需要爬，因为我们可以走下这条隧道。 我们用了手电筒，所以我们能清楚地看到墙上的岩石。 它看起来像不同颜色的玻璃。 有些是红色的，有些是棕色的，还有一些是黄色的。 我叔叔看见我在看它。 “那是熔岩留下的。” “很漂亮。” “所以，你开始享受我们的旅程了。还有更多的东西要看。过来。” 我们又走了两天，发现了其他地道。 到处都是隧道，但我们不知道哪一条是正确的。 不幸的是，我们的水喝完了。 “现在，我们该怎么办呢？” “我们要去找一个泉水。有很多，但我们必须进一步深入。” 我动弹不得。我又累又渴，想起了格劳本。 “叔叔，我走不下去了。” “阿克塞尔。我们会找到水的。” “水!”那是汉斯的声音。 “你说什么？” “水!”我们旁边的墙后面有一声巨响。 这声音听起来像河水的声音。 汉斯拿起鹤嘴锄，在墙上挖了一个洞。 水涌到了我们周围的地板上。 “我告诉过你，阿克塞尔。水!噢!它是热的。别碰它。它需要空气。我们在地下太深了。” 水凉了，几分钟后就可以喝了，我们都觉得精力充沛了。 我们继续我们的旅程，但我犯了一个严重的错误。 我很兴奋找到了水，我先去了。 我在别人前面走得太远了，所以迷路了。 我想回去，但找不到他们。 我喊着他们的名字。 “叔叔!汉斯!”我只能在隧道里听到自己的声音。 我很害怕。我跑。 然后我摔倒了。我顺着隧道从空中掉了下来。 然后我撞到了头，周围一片漆黑。

2020年高考（全国II&III卷）英语听力独白 Hello,everyone. Today I'm going to talk about small talk--that is, short conversations people often have with strangers they meet, 哈喽，大家好。今天我要讲的是闲聊——就是人们经常与他们遇到的陌生人进行的简短交谈。 such exchanges occurring at bus stops, on buses, on a waiting line, almost anywhere that strangers gather close together. 这种交流会发生在车站、公交车上、排队时，几乎可以是任何陌生人聚集在一起的地方。 As a matter of fact, these short conversations are a good way for people to say hello and express friendliness. 其实，这种简短的对话是人们打招呼和表示友好的很好的方式。 Such conversations usually cover a wide range of topics. 这样的谈话通常涉及广泛的话题， The topics include weather, customer service, movies, TV shows, local sports or latest news. 话题包括天气、客户服务、电影、电视节目、当地体育或最新新闻。 But you should always keep it in your mind that private questions about salaries,family life, religious beliefs and politics should be avoided during these conversations. 但你要时刻记住，在谈话中要避免涉及薪水、家庭生活、宗教信仰和政治等私人问题。 Besides,it's better to ask open-ended questions. 此外，最好问一些开放式的问题。 If you ask visitors "Do you like our city?" They may say simply"Yes". 如果你问游客“你喜欢我们的城市吗？”他们可能会简单地说“喜欢”。 On the other hand, if you ask, "What do you think of our city?"

Journey to the Center of the Earth by Jules Verne 单词提示 1.cone 圆锥 2.lava 岩浆 原文 Chapter 4: Inside the Volcano The mouth of the volcano was one mile wide. We tied a rope around each other and began to climb down. Hans went first. The inside of the volcano looked like the inside of an ice-cream cone. Its opening became smaller as we went down because of the rocks left there after explosions. The bottom of the volcano was 2,000 feet down. When we got there, I looked up and saw the opening at the top. It was a perfect circle of clear blue sky. There were three holes in the floor of the volcano. Each of them was about a hundred feet wide. The explosion of rocks and hot lava once came through these holes and then out through the top. Now,they looked like dark caves. I looked at the holes and then turned to my uncle. "Which one do we take?" "I don't know. Arne Saknussemm said the sun touches one of them at the end of June. Today is June 25th. It is too late to see the sun today. We must wait until tomorrow." "What if it's cloudy tomorrow?" "Then,we will wait again. But we only have five more days. In July, the sun is too low. It cannot reach the bottom of the volcano." "Then,we can go home?" "Axel,don't say such things! Tomorrow will be sunny, and we are going to the center of the earth." The next day it was cloudy. The professor could not believe it. "Four days. We only have four days. Please, please, sun, come out, come out!" The professor looked up at the sky with his arms open. The only thing he wanted now was to see the sun shine. I thought of Grauben and the danger waiting for my uncle and myself inside those holes. I hoped for rain. Hans built a small house from the large rocks he found on the floor of the volcano. He never said much, but he always thought of something useful to do. I checked the rock of the volcano walls to see how old they were. Drops of water from the ice and the snow outside ran down the wall, and the sound they made inside was like music. Suddenly,the professor called out my name. "Axel! Axel, come here." I ran to him curious to see what was there. "What is it?" "Look at this!" There were two words on the wall of the volcano in the old Icelandic language. "What does it say?" "Arne Saknussemm. He was here. We're in the right place." The next day, the sun came out, and at 1:13 in the afternoon, it touched the hole in the center of the floor. "That'sit. That's the hole to the center of the earth. Let's go." Hans brought our bags, but there was one problem. We could not carry all of them and climb down the hole at the same time. "What must we do now?" The professor took off his glasses and cleaned them while he tried to think of a solution. "Well,we'll throw everything we don't need down the hole and we'll find it when we get to the bottom." Hans threw the bags down the hole in front of us. We listened, but we never heard them hit the bottom. 翻译 第四章：火山内部 火山口有一英里宽。 我们彼此用绳子绑在一起，开始往下爬。 汉斯先走了。 火山的内部看起来就像一个冰淇淋蛋筒的内部。 随着我们往下走，由于爆炸后留下的岩石，洞口变得越来越小。 火山底部在2000英尺以下。 当我们到达那里时，我抬头看到了顶部的开口。 那是一片晴朗的蓝天。 火山的底部有三个洞。 每一个都大约有一百英尺宽。 岩石和热熔岩的爆炸曾经穿过这些洞，然后从顶部流出。 现在，它们看起来像黑暗的洞穴。 我看了看那些洞，然后转向我叔叔。 “我们选哪一个？” “我不知道。阿恩·萨克努塞姆说，太阳在六月底触及其中一个。今天是6月25日。今天见太阳太晚了。我们必须等到明天。” “如果明天多云怎么办？” “那么，我们再等一等。但我们只剩五天时间了。在七月，太阳太低了。它无法到达火山底部。” “那么，我们可以回家了？” “阿克塞尔，别说这种话！明天会是晴天，我们要去地球的中心。” 第二天是阴天。教授简直不敢相信。 “四天。我们只有四天时间。求求你，求求你，太阳，出来吧，出来吧！” 教授张开双臂仰望天空。 他现在唯一想要的就是看到太阳的照耀。 我想到了格劳本，想到了那些洞里等着我和叔叔的危险。 我希望下雨。 汉斯用他在火山底找到的大岩石盖了一座小房子。 他从不多说话，但他总能想出一些有用的事情来做。 我检查了火山壁的岩石，看看它们有多古老。 外面的冰和雪上的水珠顺着墙流下来，它们在里面发出的声音就像音乐一样。 突然，教授喊出了我的名字。“阿克塞尔!阿克塞尔，过来。” 我好奇地跑向他，想看看那里有什么。“什么事？” “看这个！” 火山墙上有两个古冰岛语的字。 “上面写了什么？” “阿恩·萨克努塞姆。他在这里。我们来对地方了。” 第二天，太阳出来了，在下午1点13分，它碰到了地板中央的洞。 “就是这样。这是通往地心的洞。我们走吧。” 汉斯带来了我们的包，但有一个问题。 我们不可能同时带着所有的人从洞里爬下去。 “我们现在该怎么办？” 教授取下眼镜，一边擦着，一边想办法。 “好吧，我们把所有不需要的东西都扔进洞里，等我们到了底部就会找到的。” 汉斯把袋子扔进我们面前的洞里。 我们听着，但我们没有听到他们触底的声音。
