必修二 Unit 4Lesson 1 Tomorrows World 明天的世界The Future of Cyberspace 網(wǎng)絡空間的未來Peter Taylor finds out how computers and the Internet are going to affect our lives. 彼得泰勒發(fā)現(xiàn)了計算機和因特網(wǎng)會怎樣影響我們的生活。In last thirty years, the Internet has grown rapidly. In 1983, there were only 200 computers connected to the Internet; now there are around 50 million and this growth is clearly going to continue.在過去的三十年中，互聯(lián)網(wǎng)的迅速發(fā)展。1983，僅有200臺計算機連接到Internet；現(xiàn)在有50000000左右，這一增長顯然是要繼續(xù)下去。Some expert are pessimistic about the future. One worry is crime in cyberspace. Even now, young hackers can get into the computers of banks and governments. In the future, terrorists may “attack” the worlds computers, cause chaos, and make planes and trains crash.一些專家對未來感到悲觀。一個擔心是網(wǎng)絡犯罪。即使是現(xiàn)在，年輕的黑客可以進入銀行和政府的電腦。在未來，恐怖分子可能會“攻擊”全世界的計算機，造成混亂，使飛機和火車事故。However, many people are optimistic about the future of the Internet. Already, users can buy books, find out about holidays offers, books tickets, and get all sorts of information from the Internet. 然而，許多人對因特網(wǎng)的未來持樂觀態(tài)度。已經(jīng)，用戶可以購買書籍，發(fā)現(xiàn)假期提供，書票，并從網(wǎng)上獲取各種各樣的信息。 “In the next few years,” say Angela Rossetto of Cyberia magazine, “it is clear that we are going to see a huge growth in shopping on the Internet.” She also believes that, in the future, we will get entertainment from the Net and that television will probably disappear. The mail service may also disappear with the increasing use of e-mail.“在未來的幾年里，”安吉拉說，在羅塞托的雜志，“很明顯，我們將會看到網(wǎng)上購物的巨大增長?！彼€認為，在未來，我們將從網(wǎng)上，電視可能會消失，得到娛樂。郵件服務可能會隨著電子郵件的消失。Some experts see our future in virtual reality the use of computers with sounds and pictures that make you feel as if you are in a real situation. “Personally, I think virtual reality will become a part of modern life,” say Australian expert Peter Anderson.有些專家看到了虛擬現(xiàn)實的未來使用電腦的聲音和圖片，讓你覺得如果你在真實的情況?！熬臀覀€人而言，我認為虛擬現(xiàn)實將成為現(xiàn)代生活的一部分，”說，澳大利亞專家彼得?！癐 see people living and working in a virtual world. We will work in virtual offices, shop in virtual supermarkets, and we will even study in virtual schools.” “我看到人們在虛擬世界里生活、工作。我們將在虛擬辦公室工作，在虛擬超市購物，甚至會在虛擬學校學習?！盠esson 3 Virtual Reality虛擬現(xiàn)實Tom: Hi, Cathy.

Tom, what would you like to do if someone gave you the change? 凱西：嗯，如果他們發(fā)明了虛擬現(xiàn)實的假期，我會環(huán)游世界。湯姆，你如果有人給你改變想做什么？Tom: I dont really know. Personally, Im more interested in virtual universities than virtual reality holidays. Id like to go to a world-famous university, like Stanford. But I guess, a virtual university just wouldnt be the same, would it? 湯姆：我真的不知道。就我個人而言，我對虛擬大學比虛擬假日更感興趣。我想去一個世界著名的大學，如斯坦福大學。但是我想，一個虛擬的大學是不相同的，對嗎？Cathy: True, but just think-you would be able to study in such a world-famous university without going out of your room!凱西：真的，只是想你就可以研究在這樣一個世界知名大學沒有走出你的房間！Lesson 4 Virtual Tourism虛擬旅游AUCKLAND * new Zealand 奧克蘭新西蘭 a guide指導Auckland is the largest city in New Zealand.

Kong explained that he tried this because he wanted to create something new. “As a musician, playing the same music in different cities of the world is very boring,” say Kong. He also feels that playing Chinese folk music on the piano can help bring it the rest of the world.著名的古典鋼琴師，孔祥東，讓他的歌迷們上周通過音樂會結合古典音樂與中國民間音樂?？紫闁|解釋說，他嘗試這樣做是因為他想創(chuàng)造一些新的東西。 “作為一個音樂家，在世界不同的城市演奏相同的音樂是非?？菰锏模笨紫闁|說。他還覺得，用鋼琴演奏中國民族音樂幫助它在這世界上站穩(wěn)腳步。Music has always been part of Kongs world. As his mother was a great music lover, he lived with music from birth. But it wasnt always easy for the young Kong Xiangdong. His mother couldnt buy him a piano until he was seven. She had to draw piano keys on a piece of paper so that he could learn to play as early as possible. The 5-years old Kong would practise on the paper piano as his mother clapped the rhythm. He was made to practise the piano so much that, at times, he thought about giving up. However, he didnt quit, and he became a great pianist. In 1986, at the age of 18, he become the youngest prize winner in Moscows Tchaikovsky International Competition. He went on to win awards in competition across the world. 音樂是孔祥東世界中的一部分， 他的母親是一個音樂愛好者，他的生活伴隨著音樂的誕生。但是它對于年輕的孔祥東不是很容易。他的母親在他七歲之前不會給他購買鋼琴。她不得不把琴鍵畫在一張紙上，讓他盡早的學習。伴著母親用手拍的節(jié)拍，5歲的孔祥東在紙鋼琴上練習。他在紙上鋼琴上練習了很久，他有時想放棄。但是，他沒有放棄，最終他成為了一個偉大的鋼琴家。在1986年，他18歲時，獲得了莫斯科柴可夫斯基國際大賽獎。他在世界各地的比賽中獲得了競賽獎Because of Kongs talent and hard work, he became famous worldwide. But after years of performing, he became that in some ways he had lost his identity. This is why he went back to his roots and rediscovered the beauty in Chinese folk music. He began experimenting with different styles and his Dream Tour Concert is the result.因為孔祥東的才能和勤勞，他才能聞名于世界。但是經(jīng)過多年，他迷失了自己。這就是他要落葉歸根且重新發(fā)覺中國民間音樂的美妙的原因。他開始嘗試在自己的夢想巡回演唱會上用不同的風格。Kongs new experiment in Chinese folk music is so important to him that he even changed his appearance. When he arrived at his concert last week, he had shaved off all his hair! Since his music style was new, he decided his hairstyle had to be new too!孔祥東在中國民間音樂的試驗是多么重要，他甚至改變了他的容貌。當?shù)剿魳窌暗淖詈笠恢軙r，他剃了他所有的頭發(fā)！因為他的音樂風格是新的，他決定他的發(fā)型也應該是新的！Whether Kong is changing his appearance or transforming his music, he is a pioneer in music today. The concert last week was such a success that Kongs Dream Tour Concert is expected to run for the next two years in Beijing, Shanghai, and other main cities before going to Paris and New york.不論孔祥東是改變自己的形象或者是他音樂的改變，他都是當今音樂界的先驅(qū)者。 上周的音樂會是非常成功的，未來兩年，孔祥東夢想巡回演唱會的將在北京，上海和其他的主要城市運行，在這之前，他將去巴黎和紐約。Lesson 4 第 4 課Lets Dance 讓我們跳舞Ballet 芭蕾舞Ballet began in Italy and France during the 15th century and is still an important art form in Western culture.
