Fish and chips known as best-loved British dish (P4-5)
I. Pre-reading
Discuss the following questions with your partner.
 Do you know what the most popular food in the UK is?
It is the dish of fish and chips.
 What is in the dish? Why is it so popular in the UK?

II. Reading
Read the article and choose the best answer for each of the following questions.
1. What is the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To teach readers how to make fish and chips.
B. To explain why Britons love fish and chips so much.
C. To share the author’s childhood memories of fish and chips.
D. To report on a new study on the effects of climate change on fish and chips in the UK.

2. Which of the following is TRUE about fish and chips according to the article?
A. It is a popular take-away food that is usually wrapped in paper.
B. It consists of lightly-fried fish in batter and lightly-fried chipped potatoes.
C. Most British people prefer to make it at home rather than buy it from shops.
D. It is becoming less popular in the UK than it used to be because of climate change.

3. What can we conclude from Paragraph 5?
A. Fish and chips is mainly a dish for busy people in Britain.
B. Many Britons love to eat fish and chips when they are depressed.
C. For many Britons, there is more to fish and chips than flavor.
D. In Britain, fish and chips is a traditional dish for an indoor family gathering.

4. What can we learn from the article?
A. It was part of the author’s family’s routine to eat fish and chips on Friday nights.
B. Not many people shared the author’s family’s habit of eating fish and chips on the weekend.
C. When the author was young, his parents would treat him to fish and chips when he did something good.
D. Since the fish and chip shop was far away from the author’s home, his parents usually made it themselves.

Key:
1. B。本文介绍了Fish and chips的做法以及它对英国人来说的那份特殊感情,所以B项为最佳选项。
2. A。由第四段“It’s a “take away” dish. You buy the fish and chips, wrapped in paper so they stay warm…”可知A正确。B项的lightly-fried应该是deep-fried;由第四段的“but more often the British buy them from a fish and chip shop”可知C不对;从第二段提到海水升温可能会威胁到鱼类的生存,但这并不意味着fish and chips在英国的欢迎度降低,所以D不对。
3. C。由第五段“Fish and chips are warmly symbolic in the UK. For example, in the minds of many, they’re associated with holidays.”可知这种食物不是仅仅因为味道让英国人这么喜欢,最主要还是给人的感觉。所以C正确。
4. A。由最后一段“When I was a child, fish and chips was a meal eaten on Friday evenings.”可知A正确。

III. Language study
1. Nowhere is the dish of fish and chips more loved than in the UK.
当否定词置于句首时,要用全部倒装,所以本句中主谓倒装。

2. No wonder that a heated discussion began when a new study came out on April 13 suggesting the dramatic warming of sea waters due to climate change could threaten the fish used in the classic dish.
No wonder 难怪。本句的主干是No wonder that a heated discussion began。When引导时间状语从句,该从句中suggesting… 用作后置定语,修饰a new study, 而suggesting后又接了一个省略了引导词that的宾语从句,该从句的主干为:the dramatic warming of sea waters … could threaten the fish used in the classic dish。
 
3. There can’t be many people in Britain who don’t remember how a rainy day in a seaside town was cheered up with fish and chips.
本句中can’t与don’t构成双重否定,表示肯定,加强语气,相当于There are probably many people in Britain who remember …。

Happy birthday Hubble (P5)
I. Pre-reading
Discuss the following questions with your partner.
Have you ever heard of the Hubble Space Telescope? What are the functions of the telescope?

II. Reading
Read the article and answer the following questions.
1. How old is the Hubble Space Telescope?
It turned 25 on April 25.

2.  What has been discovered thanks to the Hubble Space Telescope?
Astronomers 20 years ago said the universe was 10 billion to 20 billion years old, but thanks to the Hubble and other telescopes, we can now say it’s 13.8 billion years old. In addition, the Hubble was used to study supernovas in distant galaxies and played a key role in 1998’s amazing discovery that the expansion of the universe is accelerating thanks to “dark energy”.
Before Hubble, we didn’t know how many galaxies there are in the universe. It was thought that there were tens of billions of galaxies, but now, thanks to the Hubble, scientists can say there are roughly 200 billion.

3. When the Hubble stops working, it may ____.
A. be “parked” where it is
B. be brought back to Earth
C. be blown up and turned into space junk
D. change the way we think about the universe

Key:
1. A。下文说到哈勃望远镜像老人一样,需要更换一些旧的零件等等,所以A的意思最接近。
2. B。根据第四至第六段可以得知,cde为正确答案。另外两项文中没有提到。
3. B。根据最后一段的“may be brought back to Earth or parked in a higher orbit as space junk when it stops working”可以得此答案。

Key:
1. A。根据“She and The Graduate have been yelling at each other since senior prom.”可知她们互相叫嚷是在释放压力,而这压力与即将到来的毕业典礼和senior prom有关,所以答案为A。
2. B。从后文的描述I read that, and suddenly fatherhood had me by the throat. Can we get on with this graduation? Before I just melt.可以看出,作者的父爱顿时油然而生,甚至觉得自己应付不好这即将到来的毕业典礼。
3. C。作者藉着女儿毕业、长大成人一事,阐述了作为父亲,其内心的各种打翻了五味瓶的滋味。

III. Language study
1. Just remember: What doesn’t kill you just makes you funnier.
释义:须记住:没有摧毁你的东西会让你更有幽默感。
分析:下文还有一句What doesn’t kill you just makes you rounder,这两句在句式上与一句谚语如出一辙,都是仿拟而来,原句是:What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger.(那些不能摧毁你的东西,都将使你更强大)。援引而不照搬,为文章增加了诙谐色彩。

2. I don’t know what the little girl did, but from the look in Posh’s eyes, I’m pretty sure she killed someone.
释义:我不知道这孩子做了什么,但是从Posh的眼神里,我断定她肯定是杀了人(所以Posh才会如此生气)。
分析:kill在此是夸张(Hyperbole)的修辞手法,为了烘托效果,故意夸大事实,给人留下深刻的印象。再如:I will stay beside you until the sky falls and the sea runs dry. 我永远伴你左右,任海枯石烂永不离弃。
