Module 6 Unexplained Mysteries of the Natural World Section Other Parts of the Module原文呈现The Universal DragonDragons can be friendly or fierce， they can bring good luck or cause death and destruction， but one thing is sure people talk about them almost everywhere in the world. For a creature that doesnt actually exist， thats quite something.In Chinese culture, dragons are generous and wise, although they can be unpredictable. The dragon was closely connected to the royal family: the emperors robes have a symbol of a gold dragon with five claws. Other members of the royal family were allowed to wear dragon symbols, too, but with fewer claws and of a different colour. According to popular belief, if you were born in the year of the dragon, you are intelligent, brave, and a natural leader.读文清障fierce/fIs/adj.凶猛的；残暴的 destruction/dIstrkn/n.毁坏that引导定语从句，修饰先行词a creature, 且在从句中作主语。that为指示代词，在句中作主语。thats quite something 那是非同寻常的generous/denrs/adj.有雅量的；大方的；心地高尚的generosity n慷慨；大方although引导让步状语从句；同时句中的can表示推测。unpredictable/nprIdIktbl/adj.变化莫测的be connected to 与有联系emperor/empr/n.皇帝empire n帝国robe/rb/n.长袍have a symbol of 有的标志claw/kl/n.爪 be allowed to do . 被允许做“(be) ofn.” 表示“具有特点、特征”。according to 按照，依据popular adj.大众的，流行的be popular with 受欢迎natural adj.自然的，天生的(此处可换为born)世界上的龙第12段译文龙可能是友好的也可能是凶猛的，可能会带来好运也可能带来死亡与毁坏，但有一点是确定的几乎世界上所有地方的人都谈论它们。对于一种实际上并不存在的生物，那是非同寻常的。在中国的文化里，龙是慷慨和智慧的，尽管它们也许是变化莫测的。龙跟皇室家族是紧密联系在一起的：皇袍上有一个五爪金龙的标志。其他王室成员也能穿带有龙标志的袍子，但是他们袍子上的龙爪少，颜色也不同。根据大众的看法，如果出生在龙年，你就聪明、勇敢，并且是天生的领导者。But in the west, dragons had a different reputation. The very first text in English, the AngloSaxon poem Beowulf, tells the story of a Scandinavian hero, Beowulf， who fights and kills a dangerous dragon but is himself killed in the fight. However, across the border in Wales, the red dragon which appears on the Welsh flag is a positive symbol, indicating strength and a sense of national identity.Why should the dragon have a different character in different parts of the world? Some experts believe it is due to the animals themyths grew out of. In the west, the idea of the dragon probably came from the snake an animal which people hated and were afraid of.But in China, the idea of the dragon may have come from the alligator a shy animal which lives in rivers, but which is usually only seen when there is plenty of water a good sign for agriculture. So the Chinese dragon was a bringer of good fortune.reputation/repjteIn/n.名誉；名声Beowulf作a Scandinavian hero的同位语。who引导非限制性定语从句，修饰Beowulf，且在从句中作主语。border/bd/n.边境；国界which引导定语从句，修饰the red dragon，且在从句中作主语。positive/pztIv/adj.正面的negative adj.负面的现在分词短语在句中作状语。indicate/IndIkeIt/vt.象征；暗示a sense of 感，一种意识a sense of humor 幽默感identity/aIdentIti/n.身份；特性 character n特征，特性due to 由于；因造成myth/mI/n.神话；神话故事the myths grew out of为省略了关系词that/which的定语从句。which引导定语从句，且在从句中作宾语，可省略。be afraid of 害怕，担心be afraid to do 不敢做but连接两个which引导的定语从句，均修饰a shy animal；而在but后的分句中又包含一个when引导的时间状语从句。bringer n使者fortune/ftn/n.运气；命运；财富第35段译文但在西方，龙有不同的名声。最早的英语文章是盎格鲁撒克逊人的诗贝奥武夫，它讲述了这样一个故事：一位斯堪的纳维亚英雄贝奥武夫与一条危险的龙战斗并杀死了它，可他自己也死于战斗中。然而，踏入威尔士，旗帜上红色的龙是一种积极的标志象征着力量和民族认同感。为什么龙在世界不同地区竟然有不同的特征？一些专家认为是由于这些神话所借助的动物的不同(才有了不同的认识)。在西方，龙的概念可能来自蛇一种人们既憎恨又害怕的动物。而在中国，龙的概念可能来自短吻鳄一种生活在江河里的害羞的动物，但通常只能在水源充沛的时候才能见到这对农业来说是好兆头。因此，中国龙是带来好运的使者。Step 1True (T) or False (F)1In Chinese culture, dragons can bring us good luck sometimes._T_2Dragons have an important position in the mind of Chinese people._T_3Dragons have close relationship with the royal family in the west._F_4A person born in the year of the dragon is sure to be cleverer._F_5The same animals may have different meanings in different countries._T_Step 2 Choose the best answers according to the passage.1From Para.1 we can know that _.Adragons actually existBpeople all like dragons very much because they can bring good luckCits certain that dragons sometimes cause death tooDdragons exist in the western and eastern cultures2Para.2 suggests that “_” is WRONG.AThe dragon is a good sign in Chinese cultureBThe dragon is a sign related to the royal family in ChinaCThe royal family all wear clothes with a symbol of dragon with five clawsDAccording to popular belief in Chinese culture, if you were born in the year of the dragon, you are intelligent, brave and a natural leader3Why should the dragon have a different character according to the passage?ABecause there were many different myths about it.BBecause in the west the idea of the dragon might have come from the snake.CBecause in China the idea of the dragon might have come from the alligator.DAll of the above.4We can infer from the passage that _.AChina has a long history with the dragon in the cultureBthe dragon in England has a good reputationCthe alligator is a kind of animal that does not like waterDalthough dragons exist in different cultures, they are of the same importance答案：14DCDA一、这样记单词记得准写得对记得快记得多.基础词汇1.evolvevi.进化；演变2.fierceadj. 凶猛的；残暴的3.generousadj. 有雅量的；大方的4.emperorn. 皇帝5.reputationn. 名誉；名声6.bordern. 边境；国界7.positiveadj. 正面的8.indicatevt. 象征；暗示9.identityn. 身份；特性10.mythn. 神话；神话故事.拓展词汇1.extinctadj.绝种的；消亡了的extinction n灭绝，绝种2.adaptvi.适应；适合adaptation n适应(性)；改编3.disappearvi.不见；消失appear vi.出现4.destructionn毁坏destroy vt.毁坏5.unpredictableadj.变化莫测的predictable adj.可以预测的predict v预测prediction n推测，预测6.fortunen运气；命运；财富fortunate adj.幸运的fortunately adv.幸运地1.disappear vi.不见；消失记法前缀dis表示否定，意为“不，无”联想discourage v使失去勇气，使泄气disadvantage n不利条件 dishonest adj.不诚实的disagree v不同意 disobey v不服从2.generous adj.有雅量的；大方的联想表示人物性格特点的常见形容词mean吝啬的，小气的 selfish自私的warmhearted热心肠的 ambitious有雄心壮志的confident自信的 active积极的；活跃的devoted有献身精神的 enthusiastic充满热情的3.identity n身份；特性词块identity card 身份证4.positive adj.正面的，积极的反义negative adj.反面的，消极的5.reputation n名誉；名声同义fame n名誉；名气词块live up to ones reputation 名不虚传lose ones reputation 名誉扫地6.emperor n皇帝king n国王联想queen n王后 princess n公主prince n皇子；王子 minister n大臣二、这样记短语记牢固定短语多积常用词块1.die out灭绝2.throw light on 阐明某事；帮助弄清楚3.come straight to the point 谈正题；开门见山4.due to 由于；因造成5.cut off 切断6.go for 攻击，抨击；喜欢；争取得到(赢得)；挑选，拿7.adapt to 适应8.be closely connected to 与密切相关9.be related to 与有关系/联系10.plenty of 大量，许多1.make up a story编造一个故事2.thats quite something 真了不起3.a sense of national identity 民族认同感4.according to popular belief 根据普遍的观念5.bring good luck 带来好运6.a symbol of 的标志/象征7.of a different colour 不同颜色的8.no longer 不在9.be afraid of 害怕10.be allowed to do . 被允许做三、这样记句式先背熟再悟通后仿用1.Other members of the royal family were allowed to wear dragon symbols, too, but with fewer claws and of a differentcolour.其他王室成员也能穿带有龙标志的袍子，但是他们袍子上的龙爪少，颜色也不同。本句中的of a different colour属于“of名词”结构。We are of_the_same_age,_but we like the different kinds o f music.我们同龄但喜欢不同的音乐类型。2.However, across the border in Wales, the red dragon which appears on the Welsh flag is a positive symbol,indicating strength and a sense of national identity.然而，踏入威尔士，旗帜上红色的龙是一种积极的标志象征着力量和民族认同感。现在分词作伴随状语。I thought he was making fun of me，and ran faster than ever，reaching_the_school_yard quite out of breath. 我想他在拿我开玩笑，就越发跑得快了，到达校园时已经上气不接下气。3.Why shouldthe dragon have a different character in different parts of the world？为什么龙在世界不同地区竟然有不同的特征呢？should意为“竟然”，表示说话者的惊奇。To our surprise, he should be so rude to his parents. 令我们感到吃惊的是，他竟然对父母如此粗鲁。1(教材P55)If you can adapt to something, you can change in order to make the situation better.如果你能对某事适应，你可以改变以使情况更好。adapt v.
