《新概念英語》第二冊第64課:The channel tunnel
【課文】
First listen and then answer the question.
聽錄音，然后回答以下問題。
Why was the first tunnel not completed?
In 1858, a French engineer, Aime Thome de Gamond, arrived in England with a plan for a twenty-one-mile tunnel under the English Channel. He said that it would be possible to build a platform in the centre of the Channel. This platform would serve as a port and a railway station. The tunnel would be well-ventilated if tall chimneys were built above sea level. In 1860, a better plan was put forward by an Englishman, William Low. He suggested that a double railway-tunnel should be built. This would solve the problem of ventilation, for if a train entered this tunnel, it would draw in fresh air behind it. Forty-two years later a tunnel was actually begun. If, at the time, the British had not feared invasion, it would have been completed. The world had to wait almost another 100 years for the Channel Tunnel. It was officially opened on March 7,1994, finally connecting Britain to the European continent.
【課文翻譯】
1858年，一位名叫埃梅.托梅.德.干蒙的法國工程師帶著建造一條長21英里、穿越英吉利海陜的隧道計(jì)劃到了英國。他說，可以在隧道中央建造一座平臺(tái)，這座平臺(tái)將用作碼頭和火車站。如果再建些伸出海面的高大的煙囪狀通風(fēng)管，隧道就具備了良好的通風(fēng)條件。1860年，一位名叫威廉.洛的英國人提出了一項(xiàng)更好的計(jì)劃。他提議建一條雙軌隧道，這樣就解決了通風(fēng)問題。因?yàn)槿绻辛谢疖囬_進(jìn)隧道，它就把新鮮空氣隨之抽進(jìn)了隧道。42年以后，隧道實(shí)際已經(jīng)開始建了。如果不是因?yàn)槟菚r(shí)英國人害怕入侵，隧道早已建成了。世界不得不再等將近100年才看到海峽隧道竣工。它于1994年3月7日正式開通，將英國與歐洲大陸連到了一起。

《新概念英語》第二冊第65課:Jumbo versus the police
【課文】
First listen and then answer the question.
聽錄音，然后回答以下問題。
Why did the police have to push Jumbo off the main street?
Last Christmas， the circus owner， Jimmy Gates， decided to take some presents to a children's hospital. Dressed up as Father Christmas and accompanied by a 'guard of honour' of six pretty girls， he set off down the main street of the city riding a baby elephant called Jumbo. He should have known that the police would never allow this sort of thing. A policeman approached Jimmy and told him he ought to have gone along a side street as Jumbo was holding up the traffic. Though Jimmy agreed to go at once， Jumbo refused to move. Fifteen policemen had to push very hard to get him off the main street. The police had a difficult time， but they were most amused. 'Jumbo must weigh a few tons，' said a policeman afterwards， 'so it was fortunate that we didn't have to carry him. Of course， we should arrest him， but as he has a good record， we shall let him off this time.'
【課文翻譯】
去年圣誕節(jié)，馬戲團(tuán)老板吉米。蓋茨決定送些禮物給兒童醫(yī)院。他打扮成圣誕老人，在由6個(gè)漂亮姑娘組成的“儀仗隊(duì)”的陪同下，騎上一頭名叫江伯的小象，沿著城里的主要街道出發(fā)了。他本該知道警察絕不會(huì)允許這類事情發(fā)生。一個(gè)警察走過來告訴吉米，他應(yīng)該走一條小路，因?yàn)榻醋璧K了交通。雖然吉米同意馬上就走，但江伯卻拒絕移動(dòng)。15個(gè)警察不得不用很大的力氣把它推離主要街道。警察雖然吃了苦頭，但他們還是感到很有趣?！敖欢ㄓ泻脦讎嵵?，”一個(gè)警察事后這樣說，“值得慶幸的是它沒讓我們抬它走。當(dāng)然，我們應(yīng)該逮捕它，但由于它一貫表現(xiàn)很好，這次我們饒了它?！?BR> 【生詞匯總】

【知識(shí)點(diǎn)講解】

例：we should have done our work first。早知道就先把工作完成了。
2，復(fù)習(xí)：ought to 與should 的區(qū)別和聯(lián)系
詞性不同，詞義相似。平時(shí)在用的時(shí)候可以互換。否定式多用should。
3，had a difficult time
其實(shí)就是“費(fèi)了很大的勁兒”“很艱難，很艱苦”的意思。
例：we had a difficult time during the war.戰(zhàn)爭中我們過得很苦。
《新概念英語》第二冊第66課:Sweet as honey! 像蜜一樣甜!
【課文】
In 1963 a Lancaster bomber crashed on Wallis Island, a remote place in the South Pacific, a long way west of Samoa. The plane wasn't too badly damaged, but over the years, the crash was forgotten and the wreck remained undisturbed. Then in 1989, twenty-six years after the crash, the plane was accidentally rediscovered in an aerial survey of the island. By this time, a Lancaster bomber in reasonable condition was rare and worth rescuing. The French authorities had the plane packaged and moved in parts back to France. Now a group of enthusiasts are going to have the plane restored. It has four Rolls-Royce Merlin engines, but the group will need to have only three of them rebuilt. Imagine their surprise and delight when they broke open the packing cases and found that the fourth engine was sweet as honey -- still in perfect condition. A colony of bees had turned the engine into a hive and it was totally preserved in beeswax!
